To the stockholders of UpSnap, Inc.:

The enclosed Information Statement is being furnished to shareholders of record on January 31, 2009, of UpSnap, Inc. (“UPSN” or the “Company”), a Nevada corporation, in connection with three proposals to amend the corporate articles of incorporation to (i) change the name of the corporation from UpSnap, Inc. to Duratech Group Inc., which was approved by action by written consent of a majority of all shareholders entitled to vote on October 6, 2008 and by the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Name Change Proposal”),  (ii) increase the authorized number of shares of common stock, $.001 par value (the “Common Stock”), of the Company from 97,500,000 to 1,000,000,000 shares, which was approved by action by written consent of a majority of all shareholders entitled to vote on October 6, 2008 date and by the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Authorized Common Stock Proposal”), and (iii)  create 10,000,000 authorized shares of “blank check” preferred stock, $.001 par value, for the Company to issue in series or classes from time to time, which was approved by action by written consent of a majority of all shareholders entitled to vote on October 6, 2008 and by the Company’s Board of Directors (the ”Blank Check Preferred Proposal”) (collectively, the “Proposals”).

The Company is a party to a Share Exchange Agreement, dated August 29, 2008, by and between the Company, Tony Philipp, President and CEO of the Company and minority shareholder (“Philipp”), Peter Van Hierden, a citizen of Alberta, Canada, and the President and majority shareholder of Duratech Group Inc. (“Van Hierden”), Duratech Group Inc., an Alberta, Canada corporation (“Duratech”), and the individuals whose names are set forth on the signature pages thereof (herein being referred to as the “Duratech Shareholders”), pursuant to which the Duratech Shareholders exchanged all of their common stock interest in Duratech for the issuance by the Company of 50,349,342 shares of its Common Stock and the Duratech option holders exchanged their 2,235,610 options to purchase Duratech common stock for options to purchase 18,950,334 shares of the Company’s Common Stock in a transaction intended to qualify as a tax-free exchange pursuant to Sections 351 and 368(a)(1)(B) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Share Exchange”).  In addition, the Duratech Shareholders and the Company entered into a Preferred Stock Exchange Agreement dated January 8, 2009 (the “Preferred Stock Agreement”) pursuant to which the Company agreed to issue 338,938,010 shares of Common Stock, when the same are authorized, and to issue 127,568,470 options on Common Stock of the Company, when the same are authorized (collectively referred to as the “UpSnap Securities”) in exchange for not less than 3,198,362 shares of Preferred Stock of Duratech, and up to 1,203,790 options on Preferred Stock of Duratech (collectively referred to as the “Duratech Securities”) which are held by the Duratech Shareholders (the “Preferred Stock Exchange”).

Insofar as the Name Change Proposal, Authorized Common Stock Proposal and Blank Check Preferred Proposal “involve” another matter such as the Share Exchange or Preferred Stock Exchange within the meaning of Note A to Schedule 14A promulgated under Section 14(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, extensive disclosure of the Share Exchange, Preferred Stock Exchange, the Company and Duratech will be made in this Information Statement. However, under Nevada law, only the Preferred Stock Exchange requires the affirmative vote of shareholders, insofar as the authorized capital of the Company must be increased through an amendment to its Articles of Incorporation as a condition of closing under the Preferred Stock Agreement. The Share Exchange and the Preferred Stock Exchange were authorized by the Company’s Board of Directors on August 28, 2008 and January 8, 2009, respectively.

The accompanying Information Statement is being provided to you for your information to comply with requirements of the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. The Information Statement also constitutes notice of corporate action without a meeting by less than unanimous consent of the Company’s stockholders pursuant to Section 78.320 of the Nevada Revised Statutes. You are urged to read the Information Statement carefully in its entirety. However, no action is required on your part in connection with the Name Change Proposal, Authorized Common Stock Proposal and Blank Check Preferred Proposal. No meeting of the Company’s stockholders will be held or proxies requested for these matters since they have already been approved by the requisite written consent of the holders of a majority of the common shares.

Under the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission, the proposals cannot become effective until at least 20 days after the accompanying Information Statement has been filed and mailed to the stockholders of the Company.
 
WE ARE NOT ASKING FOR A PROXY AND SHAREHOLDERS
ARE NOT REQUESTED TO SEND US A PROXY.

By order of the Board of Directors

INFORMATION STATEMENT PURSUANT TO SECTION 14C OF
THE SECURITIES EXCHANGE ACT OF 1934, AS AMENDED

This Information Statement is being mailed on or about May 26, 2009, to holders of record as of January 31, 2009 of shares of common stock, $.001 par value (the “Shares”) of UpSnap, Inc., a Nevada corporation (the “Company”). You are receiving this Information Statement in connection with a written consent approved on October 6, 2008 by shareholders owning the majority of the Shares, which consent provides that the Company shall have the authority to amend our certificate of incorporation to effect the Name Change Proposal, the Authorized Common Stock Proposal and the Blank Check Preferred Proposal. This was approved by the Company’s board of directors on October 3, 2008.

INFORMATION STATEMENT

INTRODUCTION

The Company’s current Certificate of Incorporation provides for an authorized capitalization consisting of 97,500,000 shares of common stock, $.001 par value (the “Common Stock”), and no shares of preferred stock. As of January 31, 2009, there were 75,224,676 shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding. The Name Change Proposal seeks to amend the Company’s Articles of Incorporation to change the name of the Company to Duratech Group Inc., and the Authorized Common Stock Proposal and the Blank Check Preferred Proposal seek to amend the Company’s Articles of Incorporation to increase the authorized capital of the Company.

THE PROPOSA LS

The majority shareholders of the Company have signed an Action by Majority Shareholders’ Consent without a Meeting pursuant to Nevada Revised Statutes 78.320 to change the name of the company from UpSnap, Inc. to Duratech Group Inc., to approve an increase in authorized shares of common stock of the Company from 97,500,000 to 1,000,000,000 shares, and to create 10,000,000 shares of “blank check” preferred stock.  This Information Statement is filed pursuant to Section 14(c) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and is being provided to the Company’s shareholders pursuant to Rule 14c-2 there under.

BACKGROUND OF THE SHARE EXCHANGE AND PREFERRED STOCK EXCHAN GE

In this section, we describe the background of the Share Exchange Agreement and the Preferred Stock Agreement.  As a result of the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Share Exchange Agreement, the Duratech Shareholders acquired control of the Company and Duratech became majority owned by the Company.  As a result of the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Preferred Stock Agreement, the Duratech Shareholders will increase their control of the Company and the Company will increase its ownership interest in Duratech.  The Authorized Common Stock Proposal must be adopted by the majority shareholders of the Company and the authorized Common Stock must be increased by filing a Certificate of Amendment filed with the Nevada Secretary of State in order for the Preferred Stock Agreement to be consummated.

The Share Exchange Agreement

On August 29, 2008, the Company entered into a Share Exchange Agreement by and among the Company, Philipp, Duratech and the Duratech Shareholders, including Van Hierden, who is an owner directly or indirectly of approximately 96% of the share capital of Duratech.

Upon closing of the Share Exchange on September 17, 2008, the Duratech Shareholders transferred all of their shares of common stock in Duratech to the Company in exchange for an agreement to issue to them an aggregate of 50,349,342 shares of common stock, representing 68.3% of the 73,719,666 issued and outstanding shares of common stock, and options to purchase 18,950,334 shares of the Company’s Common Stock in a transaction intended to qualify as a tax-free exchange pursuant to Sections 351 and 368(a)(1)(B) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended.  In order to facilitate the exercise of the options, the Company has agreed to hold 18,950,334 shares of Common Stock in reserve.  As a result of the Share Exchange, Duratech became a majority owned subsidiary of the Company.  In addition, Duratech’s two fifty percent (50%) owned joint venture companies, P&R Gateway Developments Inc. and 1371009 Alberta Ltd. became indirectly controlled by the Company.
 

The shares of Duratech common stock, par value $0.05 per share, are validly issued, fully paid, and nonassessable, and represent one hundred percent (100%) of the common equity ownership of Duratech, and the Duratech Shareholders are the sole record and beneficial owners thereof.  The Duratech common stock represents sixty-five percent (65%) of the issued and outstanding equity capitalization of Duratech, with the other thirty-five percent (35%) consisting of two series of preferred stock, one currently issued to three individuals and outstanding, and the other issued to Van Hierden and the Duratech Shareholders on the Closing Date (as defined in the Share Exchange Agreement).  Both of the series have a par value of $1.00 per share. The first series, which is currently outstanding and consists of 158,096 shares of Preferred Non-Voting stock, and has a $1.00 liquidation preference, is not entitled to any dividend or conversion privilege, and is to be liquidated in three years.  The second series, which is a new series issued to Van Hierden and Duratech Shareholders as of the Closing Date under the Share Exchange Agreement, consists of 3,198,362 shares of preferred stock and is entitled to one vote per share, has a $1.00 liquidation preference and is not  entitled to any dividend or conversion privilege. In addition, holders of options to purchase Duratech common stock were granted options to purchase an additional 1,203,790 shares of this second series of preferred stock.  All of the outstanding Duratech share capital was offered and sold in accordance with applicable Canadian and United States Federal and local securities laws.

After the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Share Exchange Agreement, the Company, on the day after the Closing Date, consummated the sale of its assets related to its mobile information search services (the “Business”), subject to assumption and payment of all of the Company’s liabilities related to periods prior to the closing, to UpSnap Services, LLC, a North Carolina limited liability corporation (“UpSnap Services”), which is owned by Philipp, pursuant to an Asset Purchase Agreement dated as of August 29, 2008 (the “Asset Purchase Agreement”).  The Asset Purchase Agreement provides that the Company agreed to sell to UpSnap Services and UpSnap Services agreed to purchase from the Company the Transferred Assets (as defined in the Asset Purchase Agreement).  In addition, UpSnap Services agreed to assume and discharge all of the liabilities of the Company subject to a “contribution” to UpSnap Services from the Company in the amount of $130,000 as a contribution solely towards payment and discharge of its Assumed Liabilities (as defined).  Such liabilities, exclusive of liabilities under assumed contracts, primarily consisted of monies owed to trade creditors in the amount of $244,019.70.  Finally, UpSnap Services and Philipp, jointly and severally, agreed to indemnify and hold harmless the Company and its officers, directors, and stockholders from and against any breaches of representations, warranties and covenants of the Asset Purchase Agreement or other liabilities of the Business arising after the Closing, provided that the liability of Philipp shall be limited to $130,000.

As mentioned above, the Company contributed $130,000 to UpSnap Services at Closing (as defined) solely toward the payment and discharge of the Assumed Liabilities.  The $130,000 contribution was not used to pay any of Philipp’s advances to the Company or his accrued salary.  Duratech funded this $130,000 capital contribution by wire transfer of $130,000 to the Company on the Closing Date. The Asset Purchase Agreement was approved by a majority of the Board of Directors, with Philipp abstaining, in accordance with Nevada Revised Statutes 78.140.

Philipp’s advances to the Company consisted primarily of accrued salary in the amount of $61,333 for the ten months ended July 31, 2008, which was due to him at the Closing of the transaction.  The Company’s obligation to pay accrued salary to Philipp was assumed by UpSnap Services at the Closing together with the other Assumed Liabilities, pursuant to the Asset Purchase Agreement.  The Company has no further obligation to Philipp for it.

The UpSnap Board of Directors has three members.  At Closing, Philipp and Paul Schmidt resigned from their positions as President and Chief Executive Officer and of Chief Financial Officer, respectively, of the Company, and Peter Van Hierden was appointed as Chief Executive Officer and Richard von Gnechten as Chief Financial Officer.   At Closing, Mark McDowell resigned from his position as a director of the Company and Peter Van Hierden was appointed to fill the vacancy created thereby.  Philipp resigned as a director of the Company effective following the expiration of the required ten (10) day transmittal notification to the stockholders under Regulation 14f-1 of the Securities Exchange Act, which notice was effected by the mailing of an Information Statement to shareholders.  At the effective time of Philipp’s resignation, Robert Lundgren was appointed as director of the Company.  Mr. von Gnechten, who was already a member of the Board of Directors of the Company, remained on the Board following the closing.

In addition, pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Share Exchange Agreement:

·  
On the Closing Date, the Company paid and satisfied all of its “liabilities,” as such term is defined by U.S. GAAP as of the closing.
·  
As of the day after the Closing, the parties consummated the transactions contemplated by the Asset Purchase Agreement.

As of the date of the Share Exchange Agreement there were no material relationships between the Company or any of its affiliates and the Duratech Subsidiaries, or Duratech, other than in respect of the Share Exchange, except that Richard von Gnecthen is employed by Global Kingdom Finance Co., an affiliate of Duratech and he is also a member of the Board of Directors of the Company.

The Company had sufficient authorized shares to consummate the Share Exchange.  The increase in capitalization proposed by this Information Statement is not related to the issuance of stock under the Share Exchange.
 

The Preferred Stock Agreement

On January 8, 2009, the Company and certain individuals (the “Sellers”) entered into the Preferred Stock Agreement, pursuant to which the Company agreed to issue 338,938,010 shares of Common Stock, when the same are authorized, and to issue 127,568,470 options on Common Stock of the Company, when the same are authorized in exchange for not less than 3,198,362 shares of Preferred Stock of Duratech, and up to 1,203,790 options on Preferred Stock of Duratech.  The exchange ratio under the Preferred Stock Agreement for the exchange of both the Common Stock of the Company for the Preferred Stock of Duratech, and for the options on Common Stock of the Company for options on the Preferred Stock of Duratech is equal to 105.97 to one.

The Preferred Stock of Duratech has a designation which entitles it to one vote per share, has a $1.00 liquidation preference and is not entitled to any dividend or conversion privilege.  There is one remaining security of Duratech, other than the common stock of Duratech, which will be issued and outstanding after the exchange.  This is the 158,096 shares of Preferred Non-Voting Stock, which has a $1.00 liquidation preference, is not entitled to any dividend or conversion privilege, and is to be liquidated in three years.

The Company will issue, when the UpSnap Securities are authorized, the UpSnap Securities in reliance on an exemption from registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, provided by Regulation S, inasmuch as the Sellers (with one exception) are all non-U.S. persons.  The Company will issue, when the UpSnap Securities are authorized, the UpSnap Securities to the one U.S. person in reliance on an exemption from registration provided by Section 4(2) and Section 4(6) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. Such an issuance is a transaction not involving a public offering of securities. In addition, the individual is an “accredited investor” within the meaning of Rule 501(a) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.

The closing contemplated by the Preferred Stock Agreement shall be held as promptly as practicable after the Articles of Incorporation of the Company are amended to authorize at least 466,506,480 shares of Common Stock, $.001 par value, to be issued pursuant to the Preferred Stock Agreement.  The Authorized Common Stock Proposal, which proposes an increase in authorized Common Stock to 1,000,000,000 shares, would satisfy this condition of the Preferred Stock Agreement when it is effected.

Consummation of the Preferred Stock Agreement will not result in a change in control of the Company, inasmuch as the Sellers currently own 68.3% of the issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock.  After the closing under the Preferred Stock Agreement, the Sellers will own 95% of the issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock of the Company.  Insofar as the transactions contemplated by the Preferred Stock Agreement involve an interested director transaction within the meaning of Nevada Revised Statutes 78.140, management determined that the transaction was fair to the Company at the time it was authorized and approved by its Board of Directors.  Its determination was based on the fact that the Company would benefit by increasing its ownership of the equity capitalization of Duratech from 65% to 98.76% as a result of the exchange of the Duratech Securities for the UpSnap Securities.

The foregoing description of the Share Exchange Agreement, the Asset Purchase Agreement and the Preferred Stock Agreement do not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the complete text of these Agreements, which are attached hereto as Appendices A, B and C, respectively.

THE REASONS FOR THE NAME CHANGE AND INCREASE IN CAPITALIZATION

Name Change Proposal

The Company consummated a Share Exchange with Duratech pursuant to which it acquired the share capital of Duratech in exchange for the issuance of 50,349,342 shares of common stock and options to purchase 18,950,334 shares of the Company’s Common Stock to the Duratech Shareholders.  Accordingly, the Company desires to change its name to one that reflects its new business as a holding company for Duratech, which is engaged in the homebuilding industry, and possibly other companies that may be acquired in the future by the Company.

Authorized Common Stock Proposal

The reasons for the Authorized Common Stock Proposal include the following considerations.  The Company has only 97,500,000 shares of authorized Common Stock, which leaves it with no authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock.  The Company desires to authorize sufficient shares for future capital raising activities, acquisitions and general corporate finance purposes, although it has no plans in this regard.  The Board of Directors of the Company, in the exercise of its business judgment, believes that 1,000,000,000 shares is the appropriate number of shares of authorized common stock to have.
 

In addition, the Company has entered into a Preferred Stock Agreement with the Duratech Shareholders that would require the Company to authorize for issuance 338,938,010 shares of Common Stock, and to issue 127,568,470 options on Common Stock of the Company, in exchange for not less than 3,198,362 shares of Preferred Stock of Duratech, and up to 1,203,790 options on Preferred Stock of Duratech.  It is a condition to the authorization and issuance of these shares and options that the Company authorize an additional 466,506,480 shares of Common Stock pursuant to this Information Statement.

Blank Check Preferred Proposal

The reasons for the Blank Check Preferred Proposal include the following considerations.  The Company’s Articles of Incorporation do not currently authorize a class of preferred stock.  However, we believe that for us to successfully execute our business strategy we will need to raise investment capital and it may be preferable or necessary to issue preferred stock to investors.  Preferred stock usually grants the holders certain preferential rights in voting, dividends, liquidation and/or other rights in preference over our Common Stock.  Accordingly, in order to grant us the flexibility to issue our equity securities in the manner best suited for the Company, or as may be required by the capital markets, our approved Certificate of Amendment will create 10,000,000 authorized shares of “blank check” preferred stock.

Since we do not know what the terms of any future series of preferred stock would be, the Certificate of Amendment authorizes the issuance of “blank check” preferred stock.  The term “blank check” refers to preferred stock, the creation and issuance of which is authorized in advance by the stockholders, and the terms, rights and features of which are determined by the board of directors upon issuance.  The authorization of such blank check preferred stock would permit the Board to authorize and issue preferred stock from time to time in one or more series.  The Certificate of Amendment will provide us with increased financial flexibility in meeting future capital requirements by providing another type of security in addition to our Common Stock, as it will allow preferred stock to be available for issuance from time to time and with such features as determined by the board of directors for any proper corporate purpose.

POTENTIAL EFFECTS OF THE INCREASE IN CAPITALIZATION

There are certain advantages and disadvantages of voting for an increase in our authorized Common Stock. The advantages include:

Ÿ
We need to increase our authorized shares to make certain we have sufficient shares for the Preferred Stock  Exchange described above.

Ÿ
To have an ability to raise capital by issuing capital stock in future financing transactions.

Ÿ
To have shares of Common Stock available to pursue business expansion opportunities, if any.

Ÿ
To have shares of Common Stock available for employee compensation plans.

The disadvantages include:

Ÿ
The issuance of authorized but unissued stock could be used to deter a potential takeover of the Company that may otherwise be beneficial to stockholders by diluting the shares held by a potential suitor or issuing shares to a shareholder that will vote in accordance with our Board of Directors’ desires.

Ÿ
Shareholders do not have any preemptive or similar rights to subscribe for or purchase any additional shares of Common Stock that may be issued in the future, and therefore, future issuances of Common Stock may, depending on the circumstances, have a dilutive effect on the earnings per share, voting power and other interests of the existing shareholders.

EFFECTIVENESS OF THE PROPOSA LS

The Proposals will become effective after the filing with the Secretary of State of the State of Nevada of the Certificate of Amendment to Articles of Incorporation (attached hereto as Appendix D). It is expected that such filing will take place on or about the date that is 20 calendar days after the mailing of this Information Statement.

APPROVAL OF THE PROPOSALS AND PROPOSED AMENDM ENT

Under the Nevada Revised Statutes, the Proposals and the Proposed Amendment relating thereto must be approved in writing by the holders of at least a majority of the voting stock of the Company.  Mr. Peter Van Hierden, among others, executed a written consent approving the Proposals and the Proposed Amendment, and he owns 51,927,331 shares, representing 69.0% of the 75,224,676 issued and outstanding shares of voting stock as of January 31, 2009.
 

The Proposed Amendment, therefore, has been approved by the stockholders of the Company, and the Proposals will become effective after the filing with the Secretary of State of the State of Nevada of the Certificate of Amendment to the Articles of Incorporation, which is attached hereto as Appendix D.  It is expected that such filing will take place on or about the date that is 20 calendar days after the mailing of this Information Statement.

Because the Proposed Amendment already has been approved, you are not required to take any action at this time; however, at your option, you may submit a written consent to the Proposed Amendment. This information statement is your notice that the Proposals have been approved; you will receive no further notice when the change becomes effective.

IMPLEMENTATION OF THE INCREASE OF CAPITALIZAT ION

In order to implement the Authorized Common Stock Proposal and the Blank Check Preferred Proposal, the Certificate of Amendment provides that Article IV of the Articles of Incorporation shall be amended by substituting in lieu of the first sentence thereof the following:

The Corporation shall have authority to issue One Billion Ten Million(1,010,000,000) shares of capital stock of which One Billion (1,000,000,000) shares shall be designated “Common Stock,” par value of $0.001 per share, and Ten Million (10,000,000) shares shall be designated “Preferred Stock,” par value of $0.001 per share.

Common Stock.  The Common Stock shall have full voting rights of one vote per share and shall be non-assessable, not being subject to assessment to pay the debts of the Corporation .

Preferred Stock. The Board of Directors of the Corporation shall have authority to prescribe and issue the Preferred Stock in one or more series and to prescribe the number of shares constituting and the designation of each such series of Preferred Stock and the rights, voting powers, designations, preferences, privileges, limitations, dividend rights, dividend rates, conversion rights, terms of redemption (including sinking fund provisions), redemption prices, and liquidation preferences; provided, however, that, if more than one series of Preferred Stock is issued, the Board of Directors shall, by resolution, prescribe a distinguishing designation for each such series; and provided, further, that the rights prescribed by the Board of Directors with respect to voting powers, designations, preferences, limitations, restrictions, relative rights, and distinguishing designations must be described in a resolution of the Board of Directors prior to the issuance of such shares and a certificate describing such rights must be filed in accordance with Nevada law.

Subject to the limitations prescribed by law, the Board of Directors would be expressly authorized, at its discretion, to determine the number of series into which shares of preferred stock may be divided, to determine the designations, powers, preferences and voting and other rights, and the qualifications, limitations and restrictions granted to or imposed upon the preferred stock or any series thereof or any holders thereof, to determine and alter the designations, powers, preferences and rights, and the qualifications, limitations and restrictions granted to or imposed upon any wholly unissued series of preferred stock or the holders thereof, to fix the number of shares of that series and to increase or decrease, within the limits stated in any resolution of the board of directors originally fixing the number of shares constituting any series (but not below the number of such shares then outstanding), the number of shares of any such series subsequent to the issuance of shares of that series.

Other than the issuance of Common Stock pursuant to the Preferred Stock Agreement, there are currently no plans, arrangements, commitments or understandings for the issuance of any shares of Common Stock or Preferred Stock which are proposed to be authorized.

NO TIME, PLACE OR DATE FOR MEETING OF SHAREHOLD ERS

There WILL NOT be a meeting of shareholders and none is required under applicable Nevada law when an action has been approved by written consent by holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of our Common Stock. This Information Statement is first being mailed on or about May 26, 2009, to the holders of Common Stock as of the Record Date on January 31, 2009.

THE SHARE EXCHANGE AGREEMENT

Terms of the Share Exchange:
Pursuant to the Share Exchange Agreement, dated as of August 29, 2008, the Duratech Shareholders agreed at closing to exchange their majority interest in the share capital of Duratech for 50,349,342 shares of Common Stock and 18,950,334 options to purchase shares of Common Stock of the Company. Duratech is the 50% owner of two joint venture companies, P&R Gateway Developments Inc. and 1371009 Alberta Ltd.  As a result of the Share Exchange Agreement, Duratech became a majority owned subsidiary of the Company.
Approval by Directors:
On August 28, 2008, the Directors of the Company approved the Share Exchange Agreement by Unanimous Written Consent. On January 8, 2009, the Directors of the Company approved the Preferred Stock Exchange Agreement by Unanimous Written Consent.
Reasons for the Share Exchange:
The Share Exchange, also known as a reverse merger, will enable the businesses of Duratech to indirectly trade on a public securities market through ownership by the Company. This may enable Duratech to access the capital markets in order to fund its growth. However, there can be no assurances that the Company will have continued access to such capital markets.
Reasons for the Preferred Stock Exchange:
The Preferred Stock Exchange will enable the Duratech Shareholders to increase their ownership of the Company while at the same time it will enable the Company to increase its ownership of Duratech.
No Fairness Opinion:
Neither the Company nor Duratech has obtained any report, opinion or appraisal from any outside party relating directly or indirectly to the Share Exchange or the Preferred Stock Exchange. The Board of Directors of the Company did not believe that a fairness opinion was necessary for the Share Exchange because a viable operating business was being reverse merged into a shell company.  The Board of Directors determined that the Preferred Stock Exchange was fair to the Company, although they did not rely on a fairness opinion.  The factors that they considered included the fact that the transaction afforded an increased ownership stake in Duratech, the potential inherent in Duratech’s business plan and prospects, and the future prospects of the housing market and market for modular camp facilities in Alberta and Saskatchewan.
Tax Consequences:
The Company’s management believes that the Share Exchange will constitute a tax free reorganization within the meaning of Internal Revenue Code Sections 368(a)(1)(B) and 351. However, none of the parties is seeking tax counsel or legal or accounting opinions on whether the Share Exchange qualifies for tax free treatment and tax free treatment of the share exchange is not a condition precedent to the obligations of the parties to the Agreement.  There can be no assurance that Duratech’s shareholders who receive Common Stock in exchange for their share capital of Duratech will receive tax free treatment.  Similarly, there can be no assurance that the Company will receive tax free treatment in the exchange. None of the parties is seeking tax counsel or legal or accounting opinions on whether the Preferred Stock Exchange qualifies for tax free treatment and such treatment is not a condition precedent to the obligations of the parties to the Agreement.  There can be no assurance that Duratech’s shareholders who receive Common Stock in exchange for their preferred stock in Duratech will receive tax free treatment. Similarly, there can be no assurance that the Company will receive tax free treatment in the exchange.
Dissenter’s Rights:
Section 92A.380 of the Nevada Revised Statutes provides for dissenter’s rights for certain shareholders to obtain cash for their shares in a merger or consolidation who perfect those rights.  Dissenter’s rights are not applicable under Nevada law to our Share Exchange or Preferred Stock Exchange transactions.

UpSnap, Inc., a Nevada corporation, UpSnap Services, LLC, a North Carolina limited liability company, and Tony Philipp.

MERGERS, CONSOLIDATIONS, ACQUISITIONS AND SIMILAR MATTERS

Background of the Share Exchange and Preferred Stock Exchange Transactions

The parties to the Share Exchange transaction originally planned for the Duratech Shareholders to acquire between 90% and 95% of the outstanding Common Stock of the Company in exchange for the transfer of their equity interest in Duratech to the Company.  During the negotiation of the Share Exchange Agreement it became apparent that because of the limited number of shares of authorized Common Stock of the Company, which had only 97,500,000 shares of Common Stock authorized, that the Duratech Shareholders would only be able to acquire approximately 71% of the outstanding Common Stock of the Company in the Share Exchange.  In order to induce the Duratech Shareholders to participate in the Share Exchange, Duratech, at the Closing of the Share Exchange, issued them 3,198,362 shares of a new series of voting preferred stock and 1,203,790 options on preferred stock and such shares and options are to be exchanged pursuant to the Preferred Stock Agreement for additional shares of Common Stock of the Company and options on Common Stock that would bring them to a 95% ownership level.  Of course, this increased ownership is subject to an increase in the Company’s authorized Common Stock, which the Authorized Common Stock Proposal described in this Information Statement proposes to accomplish.  Accordingly, there can be no assurances that the so-called “second stage” share and option exchange will be consummated until such time as sufficient additional shares of Common Stock are authorized.

The Asset Purchase Agreement

Pursuant to the Asset Purchase Agreement, the Company and UpSnap Services agreed to transfer to UpSnap Services all of its assets and liabilities the day after the closing of the Share Exchange Agreement.  By transferring its assets after the closing of the Share Exchange Agreement, when the assets of Duratech were indirectly owned by the Company, the parties sought to structure an asset sale transaction that complied with Nevada Revised Statutes 78.565 and thereby avoid the necessity of a shareholder vote.  Under Nevada Revised Statutes 78.565, the authorization of an asset sale of all of a Nevada corporation’s assets not in the ordinary course of business can include a shareholder vote requirement under certain circumstances.
 

The Effect of the Share Exchange and Preferred Stock Exchange Agreements

As a result of the Share Exchange Agreement, the Duratech Shareholders acquired 68.3% of the outstanding Common Stock of the Company and the Company acquired majority control of Duratech. As a result of the Preferred Stock Agreement, the Duratech Shareholders will own 95% of the outstanding Common Stock of the Company and the Company will acquire 98% of the equity capitalization of Duratech.  The Board of Directors of the Company determined that the terms of the Preferred Stock Agreement were fair to the Company when it was authorized.

Federal Income Tax Treatment

The Company’s management believes that the Share Exchange will constitute a tax free exchange within the meaning of Internal Revenue Code Sections 368(a)(1)(B) and 351. However, none of the parties is seeking tax counsel or legal or accounting opinions on whether the Share Exchange qualifies for tax free treatment and tax free treatment of the Share Exchange is not a condition precedent to the obligations of the parties to the Agreement. There can be no assurance that the Company’s shareholders who receive Common Stock options in exchange for their share capital of Duratech will receive tax free treatment.

The Company’s management believes that the Preferred Stock Exchange will constitute a tax free exchange within the meaning of Internal Revenue Code Sections 368(a)(1)(B) and 351. However, none of the parties is seeking tax counsel or legal or accounting opinions on whether the Preferred Stock Exchange qualifies for tax free treatment and tax free treatment of the Preferred Stock Exchange is not a condition precedent to the obligations of the parties to the Agreement. There can be no assurance that the Duratech Shareholders who receive Common Stock options in exchange for their Preferred Stock of Duratech will receive tax free treatment.

BECAUSE INDIVIDUAL CIRCUMSTANCES MAY DIFFER, EACH SHAREHOLDER SHOULD CONSULT HIS OR HER OWN TAX ADVISOR TO DETERMINE THE APPLICABILITY OF THE RULES DISCUSSED ABOVE TO HIM OR HER AND THE PARTICULAR TAX EFFECTS TO SUCH HOLDER OF THE SHARE EXCHANGE, INCLUDING THE APPLICATION AND EFFECT OF STATE, LOCAL AND OTHER INCOME TAX LAWS.

AUTHO RIZATION OR ISSUANCE OF SECURITIES OTHERWISE THAN FOR EXCH ANGE

In connection with the Share Exchange, as of September 17, 2008, the Company issued to the Duratech Shareholders 50,349,342 shares of common stock in a transaction intended to be exempt from registration under the Securities Act pursuant to Regulation S. The Company relied on Regulation S based on the fact that all of the offerees of common stock and options on common stock were non-“U.S. persons” within the meaning of Rule 902 of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.  In addition, the Duratech Shareholders were issued options to purchase 18,950,334 shares of the Registrant’s Common Stock in substitution for options to purchase 2,235,610 shares of Duratech common stock which they owned prior to the transaction. Pursuant to Regulation S, the consideration for the issuance of the shares of common stock and options was the exchange by the Duratech Shareholders of 100% of the common share capital of Duratech Group Inc. Pursuant to the exchange, P&R Gateway Developments Inc. and 1371009 Alberta Ltd. became 50% owned subsidiaries of the Company.

In connection with the Preferred Stock Exchange, the Company will issue 338,938,010 shares of its Common Stock and 127,568,470 options to purchase Common Stock of the Company to the Duratech Shareholders in exchange for their voting preferred stock of Duratech.  As a result of the exchange transactions, Duratech will become a 98% owned subsidiary of the Company, and the Duratech Shareholders will own 95% of the outstanding Common Stock of the Company.
 

On January 31, 2009, the Company issued 1,495,010 and 10,000 shares of common stock, respectively, to a supplier and a business broker in connection with the Company’s purchase of truss equipment used in its operations.  The Company relied on Regulation S in issusing the shares based on the fact that all of the offerees were non-“U.S. Persons” within the meaning of Rule 902 of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.

The options that were granted to the Duratech Shareholders pursuant to the UpSnap, Inc. Amended 2006 Omnibus Stock and Incentive Plan, discussed later in this Information Statement, had the following terms and conditions:

1.  
Exercise Price .                        Various prices ranging from $0.10 to $1.00 prior to conversion.

2.  
Option Term .                           Typically a ten (10) year term.

3.  
Time and Method of Exercise . Each option holder has vesting requirements ranging from a four year vesting period, consistent with their continued employment with the company, to fully vested as a result of an issuance as part of a financing agreement.  Each option is entitled to one share of common stock of Duratech.  At the time the option holder exercises its option and pays its exercise fee, it will be issued, at the company’s earliest convenience s, common shares in the company.

Description of Common Stock

The holders of Common Stock are entitled to one vote per share. They are not entitled to cumulative voting rights or preemptive rights. The holders of Common Stock are entitled to receive ratably such dividends, if any, as may be declared by the board of directors out of legally available funds. However, the current policy of the board of directors is to retain earnings, if any, for operations and growth. Upon liquidation, dissolution or winding-up, the holders of Common Stock are entitled to share ratably in all assets that are legally available for distribution after payment in full of any preferential amounts. The holders of Common Stock have no subscription, redemption or conversion rights. The rights, preferences and privileges of holders of Common Stock are subject to, and may be adversely affected by, the rights of the holders of any series of preferred stock, which may be designated solely by action of the board of directors and issued in the future.

Registration Rights

The Duratech Shareholders have demand and piggy-back registration rights for all restricted securities that they received in the Share Exchange, at the expense of the Company.

Market Price and Dividends

Duratech Group Inc. is, and has always been, a privately-held company and now is a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company. There is not, and never has been, a public market for the securities of Duratech Group Inc. The Company’s Common Stock is approved for trading on the OTC Bulletin Board under the symbol UPSN, but there is currently no liquid trading market.

For the foreseeable future, the Company does not intend pay cash dividends to its stockholders. Duratech Group does not intend to pay any cash dividends to its parent preferred stockholders.

The issuance of 389,287,352 shares of Common Stock of the Company and 146,158,804 options to purchase shares of Common Stock of the Company pursuant to the Share Exchange Agreement and the Preferred Stock Agreement may have the following affects on the rights of existing security holders:

Availability for sale of a substantial number of shares of the Company’s Common Stock may cause the price of the Company’s Common Stock to decline.

If the Company’s stockholders sell substantial amounts of Common Stock in the public market, or upon the expiration of any statutory holding period, under Rule 144, it could create a circumstance commonly referred to as an “overhang” and in anticipation of which the market price of the Company’s Common Stock could fall.  The existence of an overhang, whether or not sales have occurred or are occurring, also could make more difficult the Company’s ability to raise additional financing through the sale of equity or equity-related securities in the future at a time and price that the Company deems reasonable or appropriate.

The Company’s President and CEO, Peter Van Hierden, direcly owns 69.0% of the Company’s outstanding Common Stock, which gives him control over certain major decisions on which the Company’s stockholders may vote, which may discourage an acquisition of the Company. If the Preferred Stock Exchange is consummated, Peter Van Hierden will directly own 77.0% of the Company’s outstanding Common Stock, which will give him absolute control over the decision making of the Company.
 

As a result of the Preferred Stock Exchange, management of the Company will not beneficially own a significant amount of the Company’s outstanding Common Stock and Peter Van Hierden will have the right and ability to control virtually all corporate actions requiring stockholder approval, irrespective of how the Company’s other stockholders may vote, including the following actions:

·
Electing or defeating the election of directors;
·
Amending or preventing amendment of the Company’s Articles of Incorporation or By-laws;
·
Effecting or preventing a merger, sale of assets or other corporate transaction; and
·
Controlling the outcome of any other matter submitted to the stockholders for vote.

The Company’s stock ownership profile may discourage a potential acquirer from seeking to acquire shares of the Company’s Common Stock or otherwise attempting to obtain control of the Company, which in turn could reduce the Company’s stock price or prevent the Company’s stockholders from realizing a premium over the Company’s stock price .

Description of the Business of UpSnap, Inc.

Overview

The following description of the business of UpSnap, Inc. is included for informational purposes only.  UpSnap has sold all its assets and liabilities and exited these businesses pursuant to an Asset Purchase Agreement with UpSnap Services, LLC and Philipp, dated August 29, 2008.

UpSnap USA Inc. was founded in April 2004 as a mobile search engine using text messaging and pay-per-call advertising. A mobile search engine helps consumers find merchants, content and local services from their mobile handset. During 2004, the company developed its intellectual property platform, and was occupied almost solely with research and development.

On November 15, 2005, UpSnap USA completed a reverse acquisition transaction with Manu Forti Group, Inc., or “Manu Forti” a Nevada corporation that had been formed on July 25, 2003. In connection with the reverse acquisition transaction, UpSnap USA, Inc. became a wholly-owned subsidiary and the name was changed from Manu Forti Group Inc. to UpSnap, Inc.

Manu Forti issued 11,730,000 shares of its Common Stock, constituting 55.5% of its then outstanding shares of Common Stock, to the stockholders of UpSnap USA in exchange for all of the issued and outstanding capital stock of UpSnap USA. UpSnap USA thereby became a wholly-owned subsidiary and the former stockholders of UpSnap USA became our controlling stockholders. The shares were issued to the stockholders of UpSnap USA in reliance upon an exemption from registration requirements of the Securities Act afforded by Section 4(2) of the Securities Act for offers and sales of securities that do not involve a public offering.

For accounting purposes, the share exchange transaction was treated as a reverse acquisition with UpSnap USA as the acquirer and UpSnap, Inc. as the acquired party. When we refer in this Information Statement to business and financial information for periods prior to the consummation of the reverse acquisition, we are referring to the business and financial information of UpSnap USA.

On January 6, 2006, we acquired the assets of XSVoice Inc., a provider of streaming media for mobile phones. The acquisition gave us a rich portfolio of audio content, including premier entertainment and news outlets including more than 100 music and entertainment channels. XSVoice has provided nearly 2 million mobile consumers with access to a variety of audio content.

Our operations consisted solely of the operations of UpSnap USA, which is now our wholly owned subsidiary, as well as that of the business acquired from XSVoice.

On August 9, 2007, we entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger with Mobile Corporation, Inc., a California corporation or MGI, and UpSnap Acquisition Corp., a California corporation and a newly-formed wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, or Merger Sub. On January 14, 2008 we amended the Merger Agreement to extend the termination date to February 29, 2008. The Merger Sub was to be merged with and into MGI, with MGI continuing as the surviving corporation and a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company. MGI is a private corporation engaged in providing content to the mobile phone industry.  The MGI Agreement and Plan of Merger was terminated on March 5, 2008 and the transaction was not consummated.
 

In fiscal 2006, we derived approximately 97% of our revenues from subscription revenue from one major US mobile operator. In our fourth fiscal quarter July - September 2007, our dependency on this carrier was reduced to approximately 89% of our revenues, as the Company moved towards the more lucrative and higher margin search and advertising related revenues.

Principal Products and Services

UpSnap had two principal products and services:

Mobile Entertainment Services – responsible for 97% of fiscal 2007 revenues; and

Mobile Search Engine and Advertising Platform – responsible for 3% of fiscal 2007 revenues.

UpSnap was a provider of audio and text based content and advertising services that work on all mobile phones, regardless of phone manufacturer or service provider. For the fiscal year ended September 30, 2007, the Company generated approximately 97% of its revenue from audio services delivered to mobile phones.  The remaining 3% of revenues were generated by its development of a mobile advertising platform that produced revenues from pay per call and the placement of audio and banner ads.

Some of these Mobile Entertainment Services included the Sporting News Flash Radio service. By texting FLASH to 27627 or dialing 1-201-765-9743, a consumer could listen to Sports updates from Sporting News. These updates were refreshed every 20 minutes. Before listening to the service the consumer would hear an audio ad, and if the consumer elected to press 7 on their phone, they would automatically be connected to the Advertiser via a phone call (Pay-per-call). Many of these mobile entertainment services were free to the consumer, standard carrier charges may have applied.

UpSnap had several hundred other services like the Sporting News Flash Radio service that could be accessed via various different means, including: www.upsnap.com , text messaging or Short Messaging Service (SMS), phone number, or the mobile internet at wap.upsnap.com.

UpSnap also had patent-pending technology that combined a highly flexible search and command language with a multi-media Voice over Internet Protocol, or VoIP, back-end that connected merchants that were willing to pay for new customers with consumers that benefited from the free service.   Originally, mobile consumers activated wireless application protocol, (WAP) services on their mobile phones to browse websites, or paid as much as $2.50 for 411 information directory services. We solved this problem by using text messaging to connect consumers to paying advertisers, free of charge.

The acquisition of XSVoice enabled us to provide a broadcasting platform that supported the end-to-end requirements of delivering mobile audio content for all devices and all carriers. Through our Streaming Wireless Internet Gateway TM , (SWinG) platform, we could enable virtually any type of live or on-demand audio content, including Internet-based streaming audio, radio, podcasts or other media source, to be delivered to the more than 230 million mobile phone devices in North America.

SWinG Streaming Audio Platform

UpSnap’s SWinG platform enabled mobile access to virtually any type of live and on-demand streaming audio content. The software translated data from almost any type of common audio format, for example MP3 files, to allow it to be streamed to cell-phones capable of supporting audio streaming. If the cell-phone did not have any data services, the platform broadcasted the audio via the voice channel on the cell-phone. The SWinG platform was able to be used on any cell phone in the United States, regardless of handset, data package or software. The SWinG platform was built over the course of 2002-2004 and was fully operational.

UpSnap’s catalog of free and premium streaming audio content delivered compelling content from some of the world’s premier brands including Sporting News Radio, Lincoln Financial’s Bob and Sheri show, Troy Aikman show, Tony Bruno show, Inside Track Show (NASCAR), and Batanga (Hispanic Music). The catalog of content included over 150 content providers providing over 1,000 content channels with a wide selection of content ranging from radio stations, to sports coverage and podcasts. The Company’s signed distribution agreements included Go2, Interop Technologies, and Cablevision.
 

UpSnap generated subscription revenues from the SWinG platform by providing the technology platform to major companies that already had a relationship with the carriers. In addition, UpSnap generated revenues acting as the principal in the relationship with the carriers, providing content providers from a large number of content partners.

Mobile Search Engine and Advertising Platform

The Mobile Search and Advertising Platform allowed us to insert mobile ads into content we delivered to mobile phones.

The ads could be:

Product Distribution

Distribution of the UpSnap suite of services was multi-tiered, but can be summarized as follows:

Carrier or “on deck” promotions where the carrier actually promoted the service from the menu on the carrier handset, billed the consumers on their mobile phone bill, and took its share, and then remited the balance to UpSnap. UpSnap had ‘on deck’ agreements with Sprint/Nextel.

Off Deck Promotions , where the consumer signed up for services through traditional media promotions, Internet advertising, affiliate marketing relationships, or other media channels directly, and payment was made via a short-code or Premium SMS (PSMS) to the consumer's mobile phone bill. UpSnap had billing relationships in place with most major US carriers including, AT&T, Verizon, Sprint/Nextel and Alltel. UpSnap had begun marketing direct to customers with Sporting News radio and Go2.

White-label or third-party branded services , where UpSnap sold its suite of search applications, content and services to third-parties, who then resold its services. Arrangements for these types of deals were largely done on a revenue-share basis, while some were performed on a license basis, or a mix of both. These third-parties included media companies, who had relationships with local media and merchants, but lacked the technology to offer mobile search and entertainment services. The Company’s signees included Cablevision and Interop Technologies.

Competitive Landscape

We faced competition in the arena of mobile search in general, and through other companies providing content delivery and sale of mobile content to cellular subscribers.

The mobile search market was still in its infancy. Market share numbers either by traffic or revenues were not available for the mobile search sector.

In a general sense we faced competition from all of the existing mobile search engines, such as Google and Yahoo! and newcomers to the mobile search markets, such as 4INFO, and Askmenow. Many of these competitors were well financed, and well known to the public. The mobile industry was an attractive market segment,   but accordingly attracted strong competitors, and was liable to change suddenly, introducing more competition. Google and Yahoo! both launched SMS or text based search engines. These allowed consumers to get basic information data for the cost of sending an SMS or text message. These services were given away free. 4INFO was a bay area Venture Capital backed start-up that performed free information services. Askmenow provided free and paid information services.
 

We also faced competition from mobile content providers such as Mspot, Commercetel and MobiTV. MobiTV was focused on selling video products to the carriers. Mspot was focused on building products for multimedia devices which limited the amount of available audience for their services. CBS Corp. and Clear Channel Communications Inc. cut deals with MSpot Inc. to get some of their biggest sports stations onto mobile phones. The stations would be available to Sprint subscribers with Mspot-compatible phones who paid an additional $5.95 per month for the MSpot sports package. Commercetel was a provider of telecommunication services that facilitated audience interaction with television, radio, print, web and outdoor advertising.

There were several revenue models for mobile entertainment. The first involved receiving fees from the network operators for supplying services. The second involved charging the end-user. We believed that both of these models were problematic. In addition, there was the opportunity to offer content for free and generate revenue from advertising. The Company had a relationship with 10 advertising agencies, where we placed their ads in the content we served on mobile phones. The consumer received free content and services, and in return allowed themselves to be exposed to advertising. The same core business model had driven advertising revenues on the Internet, radio and TV.

Distributors

Several distribution agreements were signed during fiscal year 2007.

These Agreements include:

 
1.
Go2 Media TM , a company focused on the growing user demand for more localized, personalized mobile content.  The goal was to further integrate UpSnap's audio services into the go2 mobile portal for the benefit of go2's base audience of millions of U.S. mobile consumers.  The initial offering utilized go2's one-touch calling feature to provide mobile users with quick access to audio recordings of current sports stories, scores and news.  The recordings were updated several times a day.

 
2.
Interop Technologies, a leading provider of advanced wireless technology solutions. The goal was to incorporate UpSnap’s audio services that would reach more than one million customers.

 
3.
Cablevision, News 12 Networks. The goal was to enable Cablevision customers to receive real time news on demand, traffic and weather for the seven coverage areas surrounding New York City via their cell phones.

Description of the Business of Duratech

Company Overview

Duratech Group Inc. (“Duratech”) was founded as Duratech Contracting on December 18, 2002 as a small homebuilding company constructing about 5 homes a year until Peter Van Hierden (“Van Hierden”) bought out the majority partners and took control of the operations in July, 2007.  Shortly thereafter, Mr. Van Hierden identified a synergistic opportunity to acquire a modular oil camp factory which was also in distress and acquired the company in July, 2007.  Since that time management has been able to turn both these operations around and now seeks to grow the company organically and through additional acquisitions.  Duratech changed its name from Duratech Contracting to Duratech Group Inc. in August, 2008.

Duratech’s principle operations are building manufactured and stick-built homes and modular oil camps in Alberta and Saskatchewan, Canada which have historically experienced very rapid growth primarily because of commodities such as oil, uranium and diverse mining.

On September 17, 2008, Duratech completed a reverse merger transaction with UpSnap, Inc. (“UpSnap”), a Nevada corporation that was formed on July 25, 2003.  In connection with the reverse merger, Duratech became a wholly-owned subsidiary of UpSnap, and the Duratech Shareholders acquired control of UpSnap.  The Registrant expects to change the company’s name from UpSnap Inc. to Duratech Group Inc. as soon as the filings can be completed.

SUMMARY OF OPERATIONS

Duratech manufactures and builds homes and modular sites for its marketplace, principally Alberta and Saskatchewan.  The Company has three principal products that it offers: first, the company builds on-site conventional homes through its Duratech Contracting division; second, the company builds ready-to-move (RTM) homes in factories and brings them on foundations to sell to end users; and, third, the company builds modular camp sites for the oil mining industry through its Duratech Structures division.
 

Duratech had $6.68 million in revenues for its fiscal year end January 31, 2009 compared to $4.97 million for fiscal year end January 31, 2008. Gross profit was $2,051,000 for the fiscal year end January 31, 2009 compared to $858,000 for the prior fiscal year. Including reorganization, acquisition costs and foreign currency translation gains and losses, the net income for the period end January 31, 2009 was $(935,916) compared to $(104,735) for the prior fiscal year.

STRATEGY FOR GROWTH

Duratech has two principal strategies for growth: 1) build construction for its existing marketplace and 2) expand through strategic acquisitions both in its existing market and the United States.

Build Existing Market:

In its existing marketplace, Duratech supplies the three principal products previously described. Given its competitive advantages in these product areas and the strong growth prospects within Alberta and Saskatchewan, the Company believes that it will be able to grow its three product lines within its existing marketplace.

Expand through Strategic Acquisitions:

In addition to expanding its existing operations in its existing market, Duratech fully expects to leverage its operational success and the experience of its Chairman, CEO and largest shareholder, Peter Van Hierden, to pursue attractive and strategic acquisition targets within its existing market and also in the United States where the real estate market and other business areas offer many potential opportunities, principally businesses with revenues of $750,000 to $10 million and profits of $250,000 to $3 million. Mr. Van Hierden has been an entrepreneur for 30 years and in the past 15 years has successfully helped restore the profitability of six corporations that had losses to generating revenues of $1 million to $30 million. However, Duratech currently has no specific acquisition plans or targets.

COMPANY MARKETS

Duratech’s principle operating markets are Alberta and Saskatchewan, Canada, which have historically experienced very strong growth because of the various commodities that are indigenous to the provinces, including oil, uranium and diverse mining.  Alberta is a business friendly province with the lowest tax load of any province in Canada, including no provincial retail tax. Alberta has massive oil reserves with some estimates as high as 1.3 trillion barrels of oil.  For 2007, Statistics Canada confirmed Alberta’s and Saskatchewan’s continued economic growth as evidenced by the increase in real Gross Domestic Product of 3.1% and 3.0%, respectively, and the Saskatchewan Bureau of Statistics reported that total corporate profits before taxes advanced at an annual rate of 22.4% in the province.  As of October 1, 2008, Statistics Canada also showed an increase in the annual population growth rate of 2.36% and 1.49% for Alberta and Saskatchewan, respectively, and an employment growth rate of 2.8% and 2.2%, respectively.  The global financial crisis began to impact Canada and these provinces in late 2008 and thus growth rates have deteriorated.  The Company does expect long-term growth will return once the global financial recession subsides and future growth is expected to last well into the next decade.

COMPETITION

The homebuilding industry is highly competitive and fragmented. We do not have a significant market presence in any of the geographic areas where we are currently building homes or where we expect to build homes in the future. Most of our competitors have substantially greater financial resources than we do, and they have much larger staffs and marketing organizations. However, we believe we compete effectively in our existing markets as a result of our product design, development expertise, and our reputation as a producer of quality homes. We compete for homebuyers on the basis of price, location, design, quality, service, and reputation. In addition to competition for homebuyers, we also compete with other homebuilders for desirable properties, raw materials and reliable, skilled labor.

The manufactured housing industry is highly competitive at both the manufacturing and retail levels, with competition based upon several factors, including price, product features, reputation for service and quality, depth of field inventory, promotion, merchandising and the terms of retail customer financing. We compete with other producers of manufactured homes, as well as companies offering for sale homes repossessed from wholesalers or consumers. In addition, manufactured homes compete with new and existing site-built homes, as well as apartments, townhouses and condominiums.

We do not view any of our competitors as being dominant in the industry as a whole or the principal markets in which we compete, although a number of our competitors possess substantially greater financial, manufacturing, distribution and marketing resources.

The Company’s principal competitors for job site structures would be: Northern Trailer, Arcticore Structures, Atco and BCT Structures. In the homebuilding and ready-to-move homes area it would be: commercial stick builders, SRI Homes and Triple M Homes.  The Company has not found competition from these larger competitors to be a constraint to future growth given the historical growth that has occurred in the market.
 

BUSINESS AND COMPETITIVE ADVANTAGE

Duratech’s key business and competitive advantages are: 1) Factory construction advantage; 2) Direct sales advantage; and 3) Ready-to-move (RTM) advantage.

Factory Construction Advantage:

Alberta has unique traffic laws which allow transporting homes to a width of 35 feet on the highway. Building homes in a factory has many significant advantages, including: 1) reduced construction time from 6-8 months to 2-3 weeks; 2) improve efficiency in hours of construction by more than 40%; and 3) reduce labor costs by as much as 50% due to using all company staff versus sub-contractors. Overall cost savings of building in a factory is at least 30% compared to on-site, stick-built homes. Using a factory also helps avoid potential weather issues.

Direct Sales Advantage:

Whereas traditional modular home builders market their product through a sophisticated dealer network, Duratech buys lots, sets the homes on the foundation and then markets their product through the local Multiple Listing Service (MLS) Real Estate.  Duratech increases its profitability by 30% by bypassing the dealer network. The Company has also established joint venture relationships with P&R Gateway Development Inc. and 1371009 Alberta Ltd. that are interested in carrying approximately $2 million of the cost of homes until they sell.

Ready-to-move (RTM) Advantage:

Duratech is also not constrained to its local real estate market, because the homes it builds can be moved to “hot” real estate markets in Alberta and Saskatchewan, as necessary. This is an advantage compared to stick built homes and allows the company to put the house on a lot with basement and garage (taking out the middleman). No marketing department is required as the company relies on realtors to determine demand levels of individual areas.

SALES AND MARKETING

Duratech does not require an extensive in-house marketing department to sell its homes because it has the flexibility of moving its homes to whatever market may be “hot” in Alberta or Saskatchewan at a particular time. The Company uses real estate brokers and realtors to identify opportunities and to sell the homes that are constructed. The Company also engages a marketing consultant based in Calgary that helps with job site structures (camp sites for oil mining industry).

The principle factors that affect sales volumes and prices are the economies of the markets that the Company serves, principally Alberta and Saskatchewan. There are other risk factors that could impact the company’s business operations, including the impact of global geo-political issues and financial markets beyond the company’s control

Duratech had $6.68 million in revenues for its fiscal year end January 31, 2009 compared to $4.97 million for the prior fiscal year.

New Products

Duratech is continually refining its manufacturing process to ensure the most efficient operations possible.  The Company’s management team is experienced in cost management and process improvement and encourages this philosophy among its manufacturing personnel.  The Company is also continually exploring new construction techniques that might allow it to develop new products in the homebuilding industry.  This is done through on-going discussions with subject matter experts in the construction industry, including individuals experimenting with alternative materials and construction techniques which are proprietary in nature.  The company does not currently have any patents on such techniques, but may file for such in the future.

RAW MATERIALS AND SUPPLIERS

Duratech is basically an assembler of components purchased from outside sources. The major components used by Duratech are lumber, plywood, shingles, vinyl and wood siding, steel, aluminum, insulation, home appliances, furnaces, plumbing fixtures, hardware, and floor coverings. The suppliers are many and range in size from large national companies to very small local companies. At the present time, the Company is obtaining sufficient materials to fulfill its needs.
 

REGULATION

The Company’s principal regulatory bodies are the building code of each respective province in which it does business. Duratech is Canadian Standards Association (CSA) Certified as part of the A277 Program and Part 9 of 2006 Alberta Building Code.  CSA-A277 is the residential code and CSA-Z240 is the manufactured home code.

CSA is a governing body in the RTM, modular and manufactured home industry.  It abides by and inspects to the National Building Code of Canada 1995, as well as all provincial building codes and has a higher standard than both.  It has a strict quality control procedure that inspects the homes at every level of the building process from blueprint to completion stage. Only companies meeting strict criteria can obtain CSA certification as it can overrule jurisdictions’ local codes and is recognized over provincial codes because of its high standards.

Another certification Duratech holds is Part 10 of the National Building Code of Canada, which governs relocatable commercial structures.  It is regulated by a strict quality control manual and program, which Duratech has in place, and is continuously monitored and evaluated to insure compliance is being met. Both of our certifications enable us to offer a quality product to the customer and give the customer greater assurance of a problem-free structure because of the guidelines, codes and regulations we as a builder must meet to keep the certification.

The Alberta Building Code attempts to detail the minimum provisions acceptable to maintain the safety of buildings, with specific regard to public health, fire protection, accessibility and structural sufficiency.  The Building Code sets forth technical provisions for construction, renovation and demolition of structures.  Part 9 is applicable to housing and small buildings and directly impacts the Company’s operations.  It is very prescriptive in nature and is intended to be able to be applied by contractors.

Compliance with the Alberta Building Code is necessary in order for a structure to be deemed fit for occupancy and is a cost of doing business.  The Code is enforceable by the Alberta Municipal Affairs Department, which in addition to producing the Building Code is responsible for the development and dissemination of Code interpretations, variances and bulletins.

Saskatchewan does not have its own provincial building code but rather utilizes the standards of the National Building Code of Canada 1995, as adopted by regulations under the Uniform Building and Accessibility Standards Act.  All site- and factory-built homes and structures in Saskatchewan must comply with these standards.

LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

The Company is not involved in any pending or threatened legal proceedings.

PROPERTY

The Company leases its facilities at the following locations:

The company’s headquarters is located at #1 2920 9th Avenue North, Lethbridge, Alberta, Canada T1H 5E4 and is comprised of 1,100 square feet of office space and 27,000 square feet of plant.

The Company previously had a plant in Cardston, Alberta, Canada located at 855 2nd Avenue E, which was comprised of 38,000 square feet, but decided to consolidate its operations in Lethbridge in early 2009 in an effort to reduce costs in response to the global economic environment.  The Company continues to utilize a Calgary, Alberta, Canada office located at 95 Sandringham Way NW, comprised of 1,000 square feet.

EMPLOYEES

Duratech Group Inc. has a staff of approximately 30 employees, of which 15 are employed on a full-time basis and approximately 15 are on a contract or part-time basis. This number will fluctuate on a month-to-month basis.

All references to the “Company,” “we,” “our” and “us” for periods prior to the closing of the Share Exchange refer to the Registrant, and references to the “Company,” “we,” “our” and “us” for periods subsequent to the closing of the Share Exchange refer to the Registrant and its subsidiaries.

The following discussion highlights the principal factors that have affected our financial condition and results of operations as well as our liquidity and capital resources for the periods described. This discussion contains forward-looking statements. Please see “Special cautionary statement concerning forward-looking statements” and “Risk factors” for a discussion of the uncertainties, risks and assumptions associated with these forward-looking statements. The operating results for the periods presented were not significantly affected by inflation.

In August, 2008, the management of the Registrant determined that it was in the best interests of the stockholders of the Registrant to agree to the Share Exchange and acquire Duratech Group Inc., a Canadian company that is engaged in the construction and manufacturing of homes in Alberta and Saskatchewan, Canada. As part of the reverse merger, the Registrant will cease engaging in the mobile information search services business. As a result of the Share Exchange, Duratech Group Inc. will become a majority-owned subsidiary of the Registrant.

The financial results summarized below are based on the UpSnap, Inc. audited balance sheet as of January 31, 2009 and January 31, 2008 and related audited statements of operations and retained earnings and statements of cash flows for the years ended January 31, 2009 and January 31, 2008. These audited financial statements are attached hereto as Appendix E.

Fiscal Year Ended January 31, 2009 Compared to the Fiscal Year Ended January 31, 2008

Operating Revenues . Revenues for the 2009 fiscal year were $6.68 million, compared to revenues for the 2008 fiscal year of $4.97 million. The increase in revenues of $1.71 million is principally attributable to the growth in housing sales of $1 million through its Duratech Structures division and $650,000 through Duratech Contracting division.Sales for Duratech Contracting division increased from $3.12 million for fiscal year 2008 to $3.76 million for fiscal year 2009 due to an increase in new home sales.The Duratech Structures division went from $1.857 million for fiscal year 2008 to $2.921 million in sales for fiscal year 2009 due to the increase in sales of modular structures.

Gross Profit . Gross profit for the 2009 fiscal year was $2,051,640 compared to gross profit for the 2008 fiscal year of $858,572. The increase in gross profit is attributable to an increase in sales of the company as described above.The gross profit for Duratech Contracting division increased from $336,000 to $1,227,000 principally due to increase in new home sales.The gross profit for Duratech Structures division increased from $522,000 to $824,000 reflecting the increase in sales of modular structures.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses . Selling, general and administrative expenses for the 2009 fiscal year were $991,689, compared to selling, general and administrative expenses for the 2008 fiscal year of $396,670, an increase of about $600,000 principally due to transition costs associated with turning-around and expanding its core business and additional overhead expenses associated with taking the company public.

Payroll Expense . Payroll expense for the 2009 fiscal year were $1,712,613, compared to payroll expense for the 2008 fiscal year expense of $489,321 principally due to an increase in business operations at Duratech Contracting division and Duratech Structures division in anticipation of greater growth that did not materialize because of global economic conditions.The Company subsequently scaled back its operations and overhead to be more in line with expected on-going operations going forward.

Other Expenses . Bad debt expense for the 2009 fiscal year was $62 compared to $3,746 for the same period in the prior year; interest expense for the 2009 fiscal year was $277,653 compared to $48,709 for the 2008 fiscal year due to larger borrowings associated with more houses under construction; and depreciation and amortization expense for 2009 was $124,397 compared to $21,598 for the 2008 fiscal year due to greater property plant and equipment associated with larger operations and purchase of truss equipment which is expected to save the company money in the future.
 

Net Other Income . Net other income for the 2009 fiscal year was $3,781 compared to $2,600 for the 2008 fiscal year.This income is from interest earned on balances carried by the company.

Net Income . Net loss for the 2009 fiscal year was $(1,050,993) compared to net loss for the 2008 fiscal year of $(98,867). The increase in net loss is principally attributable to the increase in payroll and selling, general and administrative expenses in fiscal year 2009 including turn-around costs and acquisition expenses related to reverse merger. The company does not expect to continue incurring losses going forward as the company has scaled back its operations and overhead in line with current revenue levels and can increase staff as economic conditions improve.The net loss for 2008 was $(72,515) for Duratech Contracting division and $(26,352) for Duratech Structures division principally due to expansion and overhead costs incurred by each entity.The net loss for fiscal year 2009 was $(774,965) for Duratech Contracting division which included overhead expenses for the Company and $(276,028) for Duratech Structures division.

Foreign Currency Gains/Losses . Because the Company operates in Alberta and Saskatchewan, Canada, the company does incur foreign currency gains/losses for US GAAP reporting purposes. The Company incurred a gain on currency conversion of $115,077 for the 2009 fiscal year compared to a loss of $5,868 for the 2008 fiscal year. The prevailing exchange rate used to translate the Canadian dollars to U.S dollars at January 31, 2009 was 0.81248. The average was 0.907744.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

As of January 31, 2009, cash and cash equivalents totaled $0. The net cash used in operations for fiscal year 2009 of $589,559 decreased from 2008 fiscal year of $2,106,132 principally due to an decrease in inventories and receivables associated with new housing production as well as an increase in accounts payable. The net cash used in investing activities of $447,336 was mainly due to additions to property, plant and equipment (including truss equipment which was paid for with common stock) compared to $99,696 for the prior fiscal year. The decrease in financing activities of $1,036,895 for fiscal year 2009 compared to $2,196,550 in fiscal year 2007 was mainly due to the decrease in the proceeds of loans from shareholders of $592,435 which was converted into stock at the time of the reverse merger, an issuance of shares as part of the reverse-merger and less new long-term debt which was $1,454,770 in the prior fiscal year.

The working capital at January 31, 2009 was $(218,588), comprised of accounts receivable, net of $812,355, other receivables of $117,973 and inventory of $1,947,581 less payables of $961,195, customer deposit of $273,289, short term loans of $319,263; current portion of notes payable of $2,136,664 and current portion of shareholder notes payable of $70,308.

The Company is currently experiencing the effects of a worldwide recession and decreased demand for its products. The western provinces of Canada such as Alberta and Saskatchewan, which had seen a shift in Canada’s economic power to those areas because of oil revenues, have been keenly affected because of the sharp decline in oil prices that began in the last quarter of 2008.The slump in oil prices has caused oil companies in the region to curtail investment spending, which has resulted in, among other things, increased unemployment, lower wages, a slowdown in housing construction and a weakening housing market.In addition, construction of modular campsites for oil production facilities has declined as a result of the slower growth in the oil industry.

If economic conditions were to worsen and the Company’s products became unsellable, the Company would not be able to recover the full cost of its inventory.As a result, operations could deteriorate and our liquidity would be further diminished.This risk, however, is principally related to the Company’s Duratech Contracting division which builds stick-built homes and has approximately $1 million in inventory.The Company does not expect that this inventory would be unsellable altogether, but may well have to be sold at a lower profit then in the past.The Company does not expect at this time that it would have to sell such inventory below its cost.The Company’s Duratech Structures division builds modular homes and other structures on a contractual basis and is paid as work is done so there is little risk that the Company’s inventory for these lines of business would be impacted.

Going forward we will rely substantially on revenue from existing contracts, new business development efforts, and friendly investors that have indicated a willingness to support the Company.Actual sales will be recorded upon completion of each project while sales and service revenue will be recorded as earned.To date, the Company has had investors willing to contribute equity or private loans to finance on-going operations.In addition, the Company does have existing relationships with lending institutions to provide financing on inventory and/or completed homes, including joint venture relationships with P&R Gateway Development Inc. and 1371009 Alberta Ltd., which are willing to finance up to $250,000 of the cost of a project.

However, private parties are under no legal obligation to provide us with future capital infusions and the global economic environment could impact banks willingness to continue to lend on real estate.Furthermore, the economic conditions within Canada, particularly as a result of natural resources markets, could impact future interest in housing and modular buildings.Overall, we have funded our cash needs from inception through January 31, 2009 with a series of private loan, debt and equity transactions.
 

Demand for our products will be dependent upon, among other things, market acceptance of our products, the real estate market in general, and global economic conditions.Inasmuch as a major portion of our activities is the receipt of revenues from the sales of new home services, our business operations may be adversely affected by our competitors and prolonged recessionary periods.The Company does believe that the Alberta and Saskatchewan regions, where its principle operations are located, will continue to be attractive Canadian markets, and that these areas will be less impacted by overall economic conditions, but there is no guarantee this will remain so going forward.

The Company has provided a detailed list of risks and cautionary statements later in this document.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

The discussion and analysis of Duratech’s financial condition presented in this section are based upon the audited consolidated financial statements of Duratech Group Inc., which have been prepared in accordance with the generally accepted accounting principles in the United States. During the preparation of the financial statements Duratech is required to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. On an ongoing basis, Duratech evaluates its estimates and judgments, including those related to sales, returns, pricing concessions, bad debts, inventories, investments, fixed assets, intangible assets, income taxes and other contingencies. Duratech bases its estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that it believes are reasonable under current conditions. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.

In response to the SEC’s Release No. 33-8040, “Cautionary Advice Regarding Disclosure About Critical Accounting Policy,” Duratech identified the most critical accounting principles upon which its financial status depends. Duratech determined that those critical accounting principles are related to the use of estimates, inventory valuation, revenue recognition, income tax and impairment of intangibles and other long-lived assets.  Duratech presents these accounting policies in the relevant sections in this management’s discussion and analysis, including the Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements discussed below.

Cash and Cash Equivalents —For purposes of the Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows, the Company considers liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.

Management’s Use of Estimates —The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Presentation and Foreign Currency Translation —These consolidated financial statement have been prepared in accordance with US generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) and translated into U.S dollars. The prevailing exchange rate used to translate the Canadian dollars to U.S dollars at January 31, 2009 was 0.81248. The average was 0.907744.

Assets and liabilities denominated in respective functional currencies are translated into United States Dollars at the exchange rate as of the balance sheet date.The share capital and retained earnings are translated at exchange rates prevailing at the time of the transactions.Revenues, costs, and expenses denominated in respective functional currencies are translated into United States Dollars at the weighted average exchange rate for the period.The effects of foreign currencies translation adjustments are included as a separate component of accumulated other comprehensive income.

Revenue Recognition — Revenues from long-term construction contracts (over one year) of the Duratech Contracting division are recognized using the percentage-of-completion method. Revenues from short-term contracts of the Duratech Structures division are recognized as the work is performed and related costs are incurred. Contract costs include all direct materials and labor costs and those indirect costs related to contract performance, such as indirect labor, supplies, tools, and repair costs. General and administrative costs are charged to expense as incurred.

As a result of the global economic environment and decrease in natural resource prices, demand for on-site conventional homes (long-term construction contracts) have slowed slightly and prices have decreased up to 10% in some markets. In regards to short-term contracts, the Company has found continued demand for ready-to-move (RTM) homes and a moderation of demand for modular camp sites for the oil mining industry. The Company expects demand for modular camp sites accelerate with any increase in natural resource prices, principally oil and natural gas.

Revenue and all related costs and expenses from house and land sales are recognized at the time that closing has occurred, when title and possession of the property and the risks and rewards of ownership transfer to the buyer, and we do not have a substantial continuing involvement in accordance with SFAS No.66, “Accounting for Sales of Real Estate” (“SFAS 66”). In order to properly match revenues with expenses, we estimate construction and land development costs incurred and to be incurred, but not paid at the time of closing. Estimated costs to complete are determined for each closed home and land sale based upon historical data with respect to similar product types and geographical areas and allocated to closings along with actual costs incurred based on a relative sales value approach. We monitor the accuracy of estimates by comparing actual costs incurred subsequent to closing to the estimate made at the time of closing and make modifications to the estimates based on these comparisons.
 

Revenue is recognized for long-term construction contract sales on the percentage-of-completion method when the land sale takes place prior to all contracted work being completed. Pursuant to the requirements of SFAS 66, if the seller has some continuing involvement with the property and does not transfer substantially all of the risks and rewards of ownership, profit shall be recognized by a method determined by the nature and extent of the seller’s continuing involvement. In the case of our land sales, this involvement typically consists of final development activities. We recognize revenue and related costs as work progresses using the percentage-of-completion method, which relies on estimates of total expected costs to complete required work. Revenue is recognized in proportion to the percentage of total costs incurred in relation to estimated total costs at the time of sale. Actual revenues and costs to complete construction in the future could differ from our current estimates. If our estimates of development costs remaining to be completed and relative sales values are significantly different from actual amounts, then our revenues, related cumulative profits and costs of sales may be revised in the period that estimates change.

Comprehensive Income (Loss) —The Company adopted Financial Accounting Standards Board Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 130, “Reporting Comprehensive Income” , which establishes standards for the reporting and display of comprehensive income and its components in the consolidated financial statements.There were no items of comprehensive income (loss) applicable to the Company during the periods covered in the consolidated financial statements.

Cash and Bank Overdraft —Cash consists of cash, cash equivalents and checks issued in excess of cash on deposit. Cash is put in the Bank account which has a negative balance. For the purpose of the cash flow statement, Bank overdrafts are also classified as cash.

Net Loss per Common Share —Statement of Financial Accounting Standard (SFAS) No. 128 requires dual presentation of basic and diluted earnings per share (EPS) with a reconciliation of the numerator and denominator of the EPS computations.Basic earnings per share amounts are based on the weighted average shares of common stock outstanding.If applicable, diluted earnings per share would assume the conversion, exercise or issuance of all potential common stock instruments such as options, warrants and convertible securities, unless the effect is to reduce a loss or increase earnings per share.Accordingly, this presentation has been adopted for the period presented.There were no adjustments required to net loss for the period presented in the computation of diluted earnings per share.

Income Taxes —Income taxes are provided in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 109, “Accounting for Income Taxes.” A deferred tax asset or liability is recorded for all temporary differences between financial and tax reporting and net operating loss-carryforwards.

Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance when, in the opinion of management, it is more likely than not that, and some portion or the entire deferred tax asset will not be realized.Deferred tax assets and liabilities are adjusted for the effect of changes in tax laws and rates on the date of enactment.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments —The carrying amounts reported in the consolidated balance sheet for cash, accounts receivable and payable approximate fair value based on the short-term maturity of these instruments.

Accounts Receivable — Accounts deemed uncollectible are written off in the year they become uncollectible.For the years ended January 31, 2009 and 2008, no amounts were deemed uncollectible as of January 31, 2009.Outstanding Accounts Receivable as of January 31, 2009 was $812,355. Typical payment terms for short-term contracts are 30% down, 60% upon completion and 10% holdback to be released once the structure is on-site and attached. Typical payment terms for stick-built homes (long-term construction contracts) are four draws from bank upon completion of backfill, lockup, ready-to-paint and at completion and a 10% holdback is held for 45 days to allow for builder liens by lawyer. Accounts receivable are considered current as long as there is reasonable expectation that payments will be made as agreed upon or otherwise negotiated, but in no event longer than 12 months. The Company evaluates collectability based on receiving payments as agreed upon or as otherwise negotiated.

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets — Using the guidance of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 144, “Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets” , the Company reviews the carrying value of property, plant, and equipment for impairment whenever events and circumstances indicate that the carrying value of an asset may not be recoverable from the estimated future cash flows expected to result from its use and eventual disposition. In cases where undiscounted expected future cash flows are less than the carrying value, an impairment loss is recognized equal to an amount by which the carrying value exceeds the fair value of assets. The factors considered by management in performing this assessment include current operating results, trends and prospects, the manner in which the property is used, and the effects of obsolescence, demand, competition, and other economic factors.
 

Inventory — Inventory is stated at the lower of accumulated cost or fair value, as determined in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No.144, “Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long Lived Assets” (“SFAS 144”). Accumulated cost includes costs associated with land acquisition, land development, and home construction costs, including certain direct and indirect overhead costs related to development and construction. Land acquisition and development costs are allocated to individual lots using actual lot cost determined based on the total expected land acquisition and development costs and the total expected home closings for the project. The specific identification method is used to accumulate home construction costs.

Cost of sales includes the construction cost of the home, the actual lot cost for the home or project, and commissions and closing costs applicable to the home. The construction cost of the home includes amounts paid through the closing date of the home. Any costs incurred but not yet paidare expensed as incurred and are typically very nominal in nature because the construction projects have been completed before recorded as sales. The construction cycles for the long-term construction projects (stick-built homes) are approximately one year and for the short-term construction projects (modular and ready-to-move homes) are approximately two to three months.

For those projects for which construction and development activities have been idled for an extended period of time, longer than three months, an impairment analysis will be performed to determine if an adjustment may be necessary. If the fair market value of a home (based on comparable units in the market) is less than its cost, this would suggest impairment and an appropriate adjustment would be made. Recent market activity has shown that such fair market value estimates are not very sensitive or subjective. These analyses are performed on a regular basis and confirmed before filing documents with the Commission.

Customer Deposits — The cash deposit received from customers when project in progress are shown in the balance sheet as current liabilities and apply against the revenue expected from customers when the project is terminated and the customers are billed. The deposit is without interest.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

In February 2007, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 159, “The Fair Value for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities—including an amendment of FASB Statement No. 115.” This statement permits entities to choose to measure many financial instruments and certain other items at value.The objective is to improve financial reporting by providing entities with the opportunity to mitigate volatility in reported earnings caused by measuring related assets and liabilities differently without having to apply complex hedge accounting provisions.This Statement is expected to expand the use of fair value measurement, which is consistent with the Board’s long-term measurement objectives for accounting for financial instruments.Effective as of the beginning of an entity’s first fiscal year that begins after November 15, 2007. Early adoption is permitted as of the beginning of a fiscal year that begins on or before November 15, 2007, provided the entity also elects to apply the provisions of FASB Statement No. 157, Fair Value Measurements. No entity is permitted to apply the Statement retrospectively to fiscal years preceding the effective date unless the entity chooses early adoption. Adoption of this standard is not expected to have a material effect on the Company’s results of operations or its financial position.

In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS141(revised 2007), Business Combinations (“SFAS141R”). SFAS141R will significantly change the accounting for business combinations in a number of areas including the treatment of contingent consideration, contingencies, acquisition costs, IPR&D and restructuring costs. In addition, under SFAS141R, changes in deferred tax asset valuation allowances and acquired income tax uncertainties in a business combination after the measurement period will impact income tax expense. SFAS141R is effective for fiscal years beginning after December15, 2008.Adoption of this standard is not expected to have a material effect on the Company’s results of operations or its financial position.

In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS160, Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements, an amendment of ARB No.51 (“SFAS160”). SFAS160 will change the accounting and reporting for minority interests, which will be recharacterized as noncontrolling interests (NCI) and classified as a component of equity. This new consolidation method will significantly change the account with minority interest holders. SFAS160 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December15, 2008. Adoption of this standard is not expected to have a material effect on the Company’s results of operations or its financial position.

In March 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No.161, “Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities — an amendment to FASB Statement No.133.” SFAS No.161 is intended to improve financial standards for derivative instruments and hedging activities by requiring enhanced disclosures to enable investors to better understand their effects on an entity’s financial position, financial performance, and cash flows. Entities are required to provide enhanced disclosures about: (a)how and why an entity uses derivative instruments; (b)how derivative instruments and related hedged items are accounted for under Statement 133 and its related interpretations; and (c)how derivative instruments and related hedged items affect an entity’s financial position, financial performance, and cash flows. It is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November15, 2008, with early adoption encouraged. The adoption of this statement, which is expected to occur in the first quarter of 2009, is not expected to have a material effect on the Company’s financial statements.
 

In May 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 162, “The Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles.” SFAS No. 162 identifies the sources of accounting principles and the framework for selecting the principles to be used in the preparation of financial statements of nongovernmental entities that are presented in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States. It is effective 60 days following the SEC’s approval of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board amendments to AU Section 411, “The Meaning of Present Fairly in Conformity With Generally Accepted Accounting Principles.” The adoption of this statement is not expected to have a material effect on the Company’s financial statements.

In May2008, the FASB issued SFAS No.163, “Accounting for Financial Guarantee Insurance Contracts — An interpretation of FASB Statement No.60.” SFAS No.163 requires that an insurance enterprise recognize a claim liability prior to an event of default when there is evidence that credit deterioration has occurred in an insured financial obligation. It also clarifies how Statement No.60 applies to financial guarantee insurance contracts, including the recognition and measurement to be used to account for premium revenue and claim liabilities, and requires expanded disclosures about financial guarantee insurance contracts. It is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December15, 2008, except for some disclosures about the insurance enterprise’s risk-management activities. SFAS No.163 requires that disclosures about the risk-management activities of the insurance enterprise be effective for the first period beginning after issuance. Except for those disclosures, earlier application is not permitted. The adoption of this statement is not expected to have a material effect on the Company’s financial statements.

Risks Related To Our Company

Our business has posted net operating losses, has limited operating history and will need capital to grow and finance its operations. For the investor, potential adverse effects of this include failure of the company to continue as a going concern. Our auditors have expressed substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.
 

From the inception of our operating subsidiary, Duratech Group Inc., until June 30, 2008, the Company has had accumulated net losses of $199,368. Our auditors have raised substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern due to accumulated losses from operations and net deficiency. Mr. Peter Van Hierden acquired the company in July, 2007 and then quickly acquired another struggling company the same month. While Mr. Van Hierden and management have consolidated both entities, made substantial improvements to turn-around operations and put the company on a growth path going forward, there is no guarantee that these operations will be successful and will not continue to incur losses. The Company has limited operating history and is essentially an early-stage operation. The Company will continue to be dependent on having access to working capital that will allow it to finance operations during its growth period. Continued net operating losses together with limited working capital make investing in our company a high-risk proposal. The adverse effects of a limited operating history include reduced management visibility into forward sales, marketing costs, customer acquisition and retention which could lead to missing targets for achievement of profitability.

A slowdown or other adverse developments in the Canadian economy may materially and adversely affect the Company’s customers, demand for the Company’s products and the Company’s business.

All of the Company’s operations are conducted in Canada and all of its revenue is generated from sales in Alberta and Saskatchewan, Canada. Although the Alberta and Saskatchewan economy has grown significantly in recent years, the Company cannot assure investors that such growth will continue. A slowdown in overall economic growth, an economic downturn or recession or other adverse economic developments in Canada could materially reduce the demand for our products and materially and adversely affect the Company’s business.

Our operating results could be affected by geographic concentration and declining housing demand.

As a participant in the homebuilding industry, we are subject to market forces beyond our control. These market forces include employment and employment growth, interest rates, land availability and development costs, apartment vacancy levels, and the health of the general economy. Unfavorable changes in any of the above factors or other issues could have an adverse affect on our sales and earnings.

The loss of any of our executive officers could reduce our ability to execute our business strategy and could have a material adverse effect on our business and results of operations.

We are dependent to a significant extent upon the efforts of our executive officers, particularly Peter Van Hierden, our Chief Executive Officer, and Richard A. von Gnetchen, our Chief Financial Officer. The loss of the services of one or more of our executive officers could impair our ability to execute our business strategy and have a material adverse effect upon our business, financial condition and results of operations. We currently have no key man life insurance for our executive officers.

Peter Van Hierden, Chief Executive Officer and our majority shareholder, can cause us to take certain actions or preclude us from taking actions without the approval of the other shareholders and may have interests that could conflict with other shareholders.

Peter Van Hierden, our Chief Executive Officer, as of January 31, 2009 beneficially owns approximately 69.0% of the voting power of our common stock. As a result, Mr. Van Hierden has the ability to control the outcome of virtually all corporate actions, including the election of all directors, the approval of any merger, the commencement of bankruptcy proceedings and other significant corporate actions. His interest in exercising control over our business may conflict with the interests of other shareholders. This voting power might also discourage someone from acquiring us or from making a significant equity investment in us, even if we need the investment to meet our obligations and to operate our business.

Our success depends on our ability to acquire land suitable for residential homebuilding at reasonable prices.

The homebuilding industry is highly competitive for suitable land. The availability of finished and partially finished developed lots and undeveloped land for purchase that meet our criteria depends on a number of factors outside our control, including land availability in general, competition with other homebuilders and land buyers for desirable property, inflation in land prices, zoning, allowable housing density, and other regulatory requirements. Should suitable lots or land become less available, the number of homes we may be able to build and sell could be reduced, and the cost of land could be increased, perhaps substantially, which could adversely impact our results of operations.

Our long-term ability to build homes depends on our acquiring land suitable for residential building at reasonable prices in locations where we want to build. As competition for suitable land increases, and as available land is developed, the cost of acquiring suitable remaining land could rise, and the availability of suitable land at acceptable prices may decline. Any land shortages or any decrease in the supply of suitable land at reasonable prices could result in increased land costs. We may not be able to pass through to our customers any increased land costs, which could adversely impact our revenues, earnings, and margins.
 

Our future growth may require additional capital, which may not be available.

Our operations require significant amounts of cash. We may be required to seek additional capital, whether from sales of equity or debt or additional bank borrowings, for the future growth and development of our business. We can give no assurance as to the availability of such additional capital or, if available, whether it would be on terms acceptable to us. If we are not successful in obtaining sufficient capital, it could reduce our sales and may adversely affect our future growth and financial results.

We may not be successful in our effort to identify, complete or integrate acquisitions or to enter new markets through start-up operations, which could disrupt the activities of our current business, adversely affect our results of operations and future growth or cause losses.

A principal component of our business strategy is to continue to grow profitably, including, when appropriate, by acquiring other homebuilders or related businesses that will streamline our operations. We may not be successful in implementing our acquisition strategy, and growth may not continue at historical levels or at all. When acquiring another company, we may have difficulty assimilating the operations of acquired businesses, incur unanticipated liabilities or expenses, and our management’s attention may be diverted from our current business. The acquisition of other companies may also result in our entering markets in which we have limited or no experience. The failure to identify or complete business acquisitions, or successfully integrate the businesses we acquire, could adversely affect our results of operations and future growth. In addition, our acquisitions may not be as profitable as we anticipate or could even produce losses.

Furthermore, we may choose to enter new markets or expand operations in existing markets by starting new operations, rather than by acquiring an existing homebuilding company. If we choose to expand through start-up operations, we will not have the advantage of the experience and brand recognition of an established homebuilding company. As a result, we may incur substantial start-up costs in establishing our operations in new markets, and we may not be successful in taking operations from the start-up phase to profitability. If we are not successful in making start-up operations profitable, we may not be able to recover our investment and may incur losses.

Risks Related to the Housing Industry

The manufactured, modular and ready-to-move housing industry is highly competitive.

The manufactured, modular and ready-to-move housing industry is highly competitive at both the manufacturing and retail levels, with competition based upon several factors, including price, product features, reputation for service and quality, depth of field inventory, promotion, merchandising and the terms of retail customer financing. We compete with other retailers of manufactured homes, as well as companies offering for sale homes repossessed from wholesalers or consumers. In addition, manufactured homes compete with other forms of housing, such as new and existing site-built homes, apartments, condominiums and townhouses. The inability to effectively compete in this environment could result in lower sales, operating results and cash flows.

Availability and cost of financing for our retail customers, particularly in our manufactured housing business, could constrain our sales.

Retail buyers of our products generally secure financing from independent lenders, which, in the case of manufactured housing, could be negatively affected by adverse loan experience. Reduced availability of such financing and higher interest rates could have an adverse effect on the manufactured housing business and our housing sales. If this financing were to become unavailable or were to be restricted, our results of operations would suffer. Availability of financing depends on the lending practices of financial institutions, financial markets, governmental policies, and economic conditions, all of which are largely beyond our control.

Downward changes in general economic, real estate construction, or other business conditions could adversely affect our business or our financial results.

The residential homebuilding industry is sensitive to changes in economic conditions and other factors, such as the level of employment, consumer confidence, consumer income, availability of financing, and interest rate levels. Adverse changes in any of these conditions generally, or in the markets where we operate, could decrease demand and pricing for new homes in these areas or result in customer cancellations of pending contracts, which could adversely affect the number of home deliveries we make or reduce the prices we can charge for homes, either of which could result in a decrease in our revenues and earnings and would adversely affect our financial condition.
 

Future increases in interest rates, reductions in mortgage availability, or increases in the effective costs of owning a home could prevent potential customers from buying our homes and adversely affect our business and financial results.

Increases in interest rates or decreases in availability of mortgage financing could reduce the market for new homes. Potential homebuyers may be less willing or able to pay the increased monthly costs or to obtain mortgage financing that exposes them to interest rate changes. Lenders may increase the qualifications needed for mortgages or adjust their terms to address any increased credit risk. Even if potential customers do not need financing, changes in interest rates and mortgage availability could make it harder for them to sell their current homes to potential buyers who need financing. These factors could adversely affect the sales or pricing of our homes.

A.            Manufactured, Modular and Ready-To-Move Housing

The cyclical and seasonal nature of the manufactured housing industry causes our revenues and operating results to fluctuate, and we expect this cyclicality and seasonality to continue in the future.

The manufactured housing industry is highly cyclical and seasonal and is influenced by many national and regional economic and demographic factors, including:

 
the availability of consumer financing for homebuyers;
     
 
the availability of wholesale financing for retailers;
     
 
seasonality of demand;
     
 
consumer confidence;
     
 
interest rates;
     
 
demographic and employment trends;
     
 
income levels;
     
 
housing demand;
     
 
general economic conditions, including inflation and recessions; and
     
 
the availability of suitable homesites.

As a result of the foregoing economic, demographic and other factors, our revenues and operating results fluctuate, and we expect them to continue to fluctuate in the future. Moreover, we may experience operating losses during cyclical downturns in the manufactured housing market.

The manufactured, modular and ready-to-move housing industry is highly competitive, and competition may increase the adverse effects of industry conditions.

The manufactured, modular and ready-to-move housing industry is highly competitive. Competition at both the manufacturing and retail levels is based upon several factors, including price, product features, reputation for service and quality, merchandising, terms of retailer promotional programs and the terms of retail customer financing. Numerous companies produce manufactured homes in our markets. In addition, our homes compete with repossessed homes that are offered for sale in our markets. A number of our manufacturing competitors also have their own retail distribution systems and consumer finance and insurance operations. The ability to offer consumer finance and insurance products may provide some competitors with an advantage. In addition, there are many independent manufactured housing retail locations in most areas where we have retail operations. We believe that where wholesale floor plan financing is available, it is relatively easy for new retailers to enter into our markets as competitors. In addition, our products compete with other forms of low to moderate-cost housing, including new and existing site-built homes, apartments, townhouses and condominiums. If we are unable to compete effectively in this environment, our retail sales and wholesale shipments could be reduced. As a result, our growth could be limited.

Changing consumer preferences can affect sales, operating results and cash flows.

Changes in consumer preferences for manufactured, modular and ready-to-move housing occur over time, and consequently the Company responds to changing demand by evaluating the market acceptability of its products. Delays in responding to changing consumer preferences could have an adverse effect on sales, operating results and cash flows.
 

B.   Site-Built Housing

We may not be able to acquire suitable land at reasonable prices, which could result in cost increases we are unable to recover and reduce our total earned revenues and earnings.

We have experienced an increase in competition for available land and developed homesites in some of our markets as a result of a reduced availability of suitable parcels of land and developed homesites in these markets. Our ability to continue our homebuilding activities over the long-term depends upon our ability to locate and acquire suitable parcels of land or developed homesites to support our homebuilding operations. As competition for land increases, the cost of acquiring it may rise and the availability of suitable parcels at acceptable prices may decline. If we are unable to acquire suitable land or developed homesites at reasonable prices, it could limit our ability to develop new communities or result in increased land costs that we may not be able to pass through to our customers. Consequently, this competition could reduce the number of homes we sell or our profit margins and lead to a decrease in our total earned revenues and earnings.

Shortages of labor or materials and increases in the price of materials can harm our business by delaying construction, increasing costs, or both.

We and the homebuilding industry from time to time have experienced significant difficulties with respect to:

shortages of qualified trades people and other labor;
   
shortages of materials; and
   
increases in the cost of certain materials, including lumber, drywall and cement, which are significant components of home construction costs.

These difficulties can cause unexpected short-term increases in construction costs and cause construction delays for us. We will not be able to recover unexpected increases in construction costs by raising our home prices because, typically, the price of each home is established at the time a customer executes a home sale contract. Furthermore, sustained increases in construction costs may, over time, erode our profit margins. We may be able to offset sustained increases in construction costs with increases in the prices of our homes and through operating efficiencies. However, in the future, pricing competition may restrict our ability to pass on any additional costs, and we may not be able to achieve sufficient operating efficiencies to maintain our current profit margins.

Adverse weather conditions may increase costs, cause project delays and reduce consumer demand for housing, all of which would adversely affect the Company’s results of operations and prospects.

As a homebuilder, the Company is subject to numerous risks, many of which are beyond management’s control, including: adverse weather conditions, such as extended periods of rain, snow or cold temperatures and natural disasters, which could damage projects, cause delays in completion of projects, or reduce consumer demand for housing; and shortages in labor or materials, which could delay project completion and cause increases in the prices for labor or materials, thereby affecting the Company’s sales and profitability.

There are some risks of loss for which the Company may be unable to purchase insurance coverage. A sizeable uninsured loss could adversely affect the Company’s business, results of operations and financial condition.

Risks Related to Doing Business in the Canada

Inflation in Canada could negatively affect our profitability and growth.

While the economy in Alberta and Saskatchewan has experienced rapid growth, such growth has been uneven among other provinces and various sectors of the economy and in different geographical areas of the country.  Rapid economic growth can lead to growth in the money supply and rising inflation. If prices for the Company’s products rise at a rate that is insufficient to compensate for the rise in the costs of supplies, it may have an adverse effect on profitability.

The fluctuation of the Canadian dollar may materially and adversely affect investments in the Company.

The value of the Canadian dollar against the U.S. dollar and other currencies may fluctuate and is affected by, among other things, changes in the Canada’s political and economic conditions. As the Company relies principally on revenues earned in Canada, any significant revaluation of Canadian dollar may materially and adversely affect the Company’s cash flows, revenues and financial condition. For example, to the extent that the Company needs to convert U.S. dollars it receives from an offering of its securities into Canadian dollars for the Company’s operations, appreciation of the Canadian dollar against the U.S. dollar could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, financial condition and results of operations. Conversely, if the Company decides to convert its Canadian dollars into U.S. dollars for the purpose of making payments for dividends on its common stock or for other business purposes and the U.S. dollar appreciates against the Canadian dollar, the U.S. dollar equivalent of the Canadian dollar that the Company converts would be reduced. In addition, the depreciation of significant U.S. dollar denominated assets could result in a charge to the Company’s income statement and a reduction in the value of these assets.
 

The effect of changes in international, national and local economic and market conditions as a result of global developments

Beyond the risks of doing business in Canada or the United States, there is also the potential impact of changes in the international, national and local economic and market conditions as a result of global developments, including the effects of global financial crisis, effects of terrorist acts and war on terrorism, US and Canadian presence in Iraq and Afghanistan, potential conflict or crisis in North Korea or Middle East and potential avian flu pandemic or related illnesses, negatively affecting local homebuilding industry and adversely affecting new home installation market.

Risks Relating to the Share Exchange

The Company’s Chief Executive Officer, Peter Van Hierden, beneficially owns 69.0% of the Company’s outstanding common stock, which gives him control over certain major decisions on which the Company’s stockholders may vote, which may discourage an acquisition of the Company.

As a result of the Share Exchange, most of management of the Company do not beneficially own any of the Company’s outstanding common stock at this point in time, and one of the Company’s officers and directors beneficially owns 69.0% of the Company’s outstanding shares. The interests of this director may differ from the interests of other stockholders. As a result, this officer and director will have the right and ability to control virtually all corporate actions requiring stockholder approval, irrespective of how the Company’s other stockholders may vote, including the following actions:

•  
Electing or defeating the election of directors;

•  
Amending or preventing amendment of the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation or By-laws;

•  
Effecting or preventing a merger, sale of assets or other corporate transaction; and

•  
Controlling the outcome of any other matter submitted to the stockholders for vote.

The Company’s stock ownership profile may discourage a potential acquirer from seeking to acquire shares of the Company’s common stock or otherwise attempting to obtain control of the Company, which in turn could reduce the Company’s stock price or prevent the Company’s stockholders from realizing a premium over the Company’s stock price .

As a result of the Share Exchange, Duratech has become a wholly-owned subsidiary of a company that is subject to the reporting requirements of U.S. federal securities laws, which can be expensive.

As a result of the Share Exchange, Duratech has become an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of a company that is a public reporting company and, accordingly, is subject to the information and reporting requirements of the Exchange Act and other federal securities laws, including compliance with the Sarbanes-Oxley Act. The costs of preparing and filing annual and quarterly reports, proxy statements and other information with the SEC (including reporting of the Share Exchange) and furnishing audited reports to stockholders will cause the Company’s expenses to be higher than they would be if Duratech had remained privately-held and did not consummate the Share Exchange.

In addition, it may be time consuming, difficult and costly for the Registrant to develop and implement the internal controls and reporting procedures required by the Sarbanes-Oxley Act.  The Registrant may need to hire additional financial reporting, internal controls and other finance personnel in order to develop and implement appropriate internal controls and reporting procedures. If the Registrant is unable to comply with the internal controls requirements of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, the Registrant may not be able to obtain the independent accountant certifications required by the Sarbanes-Oxley Act.

Public company compliance may make it more difficult to attract and retain officers and directors.

The Sarbanes-Oxley Act and new rules subsequently implemented by the SEC have required changes in corporate governance practices of public companies. As a public entity, the Registrant expects these new rules and regulations to increase compliance costs in 2008 and beyond and to make certain activities more time consuming and costly. As a public entity, the Registrant also expects that these new rules and regulations may make it more difficult and expensive for the Registrant to obtain director and officer liability insurance in the future and it may be required to accept reduced policy limits and coverage or incur substantially higher costs to obtain the same or similar coverage. As a result, it may be more difficult for the Registrant to attract and retain qualified persons to serve as directors or as executive officers.
 

Because Duratech became public by means of a share exchange, the Company may not be able to attract the attention of major brokerage firms.

There may be risks associated with Duratech becoming public through a share exchange. Specifically, securities analysts of major brokerage firms may not provide coverage of the company since there is no incentive to brokerage firms to recommend the purchase of the company’s common stock. No assurance can be given that brokerage firms will, in the future, want to conduct any secondary offerings on behalf of the company.

Risks Relating to the Common Stock

The Company’s stock price may be volatile.

The market price of the Company’s common stock is likely to be highly volatile and could fluctuate widely in price in response to various factors, many of which are beyond the Company’s control, including the following:

Additions or departures of key personnel;
   
Limited “public float” following the Share Exchange, in the hands of a small number of persons whose sales or lack of sales could result in positive or negative pricing pressure on the market price for the common stock;

Sales of the common stock;
   
The Company’s ability to execute its business plan;
   
Operating results that fall below expectations;
   
Loss of any strategic relationship;
   
Industry developments;
   
Economic and other external factors; and
   
Period-to-period fluctuations in the Company’s financial results.

In addition, the securities markets have from time to time experienced significant price and volume fluctuations that are unrelated to the operating performance of particular companies. These market fluctuations may also materially and adversely affect the market price of the Company’s common stock.

There is currently no liquid trading market for the Company’s common stock and the Company cannot ensure that one will ever develop or be sustained.

There is currently no liquid trading market for the Company’s common stock. The Company cannot predict how liquid the market for the Company’s common stock might become. The Company’s common stock is currently approved for quotation on the OTC Bulletin Board trading under the symbol UPSN. The Company currently does not satisfy the initial listing standards, and cannot ensure that it will be able to satisfy such listing standards on a higher exchange, or that its common stock will be accepted for listing on any such exchange. Should the Company fail to satisfy the initial listing standards of such exchanges, or its common stock be otherwise rejected for listing and remain on the OTC Bulletin Board or be suspended from the OTC Bulletin Board, the trading price of the Company’s common stock could suffer, the trading market for the Company’s common stock may be less liquid and the Company’s common stock price may be subject to increased volatility.

The Company’s common stock may be deemed a “penny stock”, which would make it more difficult for investors to sell their shares.

The Company’s common stock may be subject to the “penny stock” rules adopted under section 15(g) of the Exchange Act. The penny stock rules apply to companies whose common stock is not listed on the NASDAQ Stock Market or other national securities exchange and trades at less than $5.00 per share or that have tangible net worth of less than $5,000,000 ($2,000,000 if the company has been operating for three or more years). These rules require, among other things, that brokers who trade penny stock to persons other than “established customers” complete certain documentation, make suitability inquiries of investors and provide investors with certain information concerning trading in the security, including a risk disclosure document and quote information under certain circumstances. Many brokers have decided not to trade penny stocks because of the requirements of the penny stock rules and, as a result, the number of broker-dealers willing to act as market makers in such securities is limited. If the Company remains subject to the penny stock rules for any significant period, it could have an adverse effect on the market, if any, for the Company’s securities. If the Company’s securities are subject to the penny stock rules, investors will find it more difficult to dispose of the Company’s securities.
 

Furthermore, for companies whose securities are quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board, it is more difficult (1) to obtain accurate quotations, (2) to obtain coverage for significant news events because major wire services generally do not publish press releases about such companies, and (3) to obtain needed capital.

Offers or availability for sale of a substantial number of shares of the Company’s common stock may cause the price of the Company’s common stock to decline.

If the Company’s stockholders sell substantial amounts of common stock in the public market, or upon the expiration of any statutory holding period, under Rule 144, it could create a circumstance commonly referred to as an “overhang” and in anticipation of which the market price of the Company’s common stock could fall. The existence of an overhang, whether or not sales have occurred or are occurring, also could make more difficult the Company’s ability to raise additional financing through the sale of equity or equity-related securities in the future at a time and price that the Company deems reasonable or appropriate. Additional shares of common stock will be freely tradable upon the earlier of: (i) effectiveness of the registration statement the Company is required to file; and (ii) the date on which such shares may be sold without registration pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act.

Provisions of the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation and Nevada law could deter a change of control, which could discourage or delay offers to acquire the Company.

Provisions of the Company’s Articles of Incorporation and Nevada law may make it more difficult for someone to acquire control of the Company or for the Company’s stockholders to remove existing management, and might discourage a third party from offering to acquire the Company, even if a change in control or in management would be beneficial to stockholders.  For example, Article VIII of the Articles of Incorporation provides that there shall be no cumulative voting for any purpose, including the election of directors of the Company.  Inasmuch as the insiders of the Company own common stock and options on common stock representing approximately 70% of the issued and outstanding common stock of the Company, such holders will be able to elect all of its directors at a general or special meeting.  There is no cumulative voting to give a minority shareholder the right to elect a director. This may have an anti-takeover effect.  Similarly Article XI provides for indemnification of directors, officers, employees or agents of the Company to the fullest extent permitted by Nevada law pursuant to NRS 78.502 and NRS 78.751, as well as successor provisions.  Such indemnification could enable the Company’s board of directors to take actions that would discourage a third party takeover attempt with impunity; other than a lawsuit by or in the right of the Company, for which indemnification is not available.

Volatility in the Company’s common stock price may subject the Company to securities litigation.

The market for the Company’s common stock is characterized by significant price volatility when compared to seasoned issuers, and the Company expects that its share price will continue to be more volatile than a seasoned issuer for the indefinite future. In the past, plaintiffs have often initiated securities class action litigation against a company following periods of volatility in the market price of its securities. The Company may, in the future, be the target of similar litigation. Securities litigation could result in substantial costs and liabilities and could divert management’s attention and resources.

The elimination of monetary liability against the Company’s directors, officers and employees under the Company’s Articles of Incorporation and Nevada  law, and the existence of indemnification rights to the Company’s directors, officers and employees may result in substantial expenditures by the Company and may discourage lawsuits against the Company’s directors, officers and employees.

Article XI of the Registrant’s Articles of Incorporation provides that the Company shall indemnify all directors, officers, employees, and agents to the fullest extent permitted by Nevada law as provided within NRS 78.7502 and NRS 78.751 or any other law then in effect or as it may hereafter be amended. Further Article XI provides that the Company shall indemnify each present and future director, officer, employee or agent of the Company who becomes a party or is threatened to be made a party to any suit or proceeding, whether pending, completed or merely threatened, and whether said suit or proceeding is civil, criminal, administrative, investigative, or otherwise, except an action by or in the right of the Company, by reason of the fact that he is or was a director, officer, employee, or agent of the Company, or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director, officer, employee, or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, or other enterprise, against expenses, including, but not limited to, attorneys' fees, judgments, fines, and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by him in connection with the action, suit, proceeding or settlement, provided such person acted in good faith and in a manner which he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interest of the Company, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe his conduct was unlawful.
 

The foregoing indemnification obligations could result in the Company incurring substantial expenditures to cover the cost of settlement or damage awards against directors and officers, which the Company may be unable to recoup.  These provisions and resultant costs may also discourage the Company from bringing a lawsuit against directors and officers for breaches of their fiduciary duties even though such actions, if successful, might otherwise benefit the Company and its stockholders.  However, legal actions brought “by or in the right of the Company,” so called shareholder derivative actions, are expressly carved out from the indemnification rights of directors, officers, employees or agents of the Company and such director, officer, employee or agent would not be entitled to indemnification in the event of such a lawsuit.

To the extent that the legal expenses of a director, officer, employee or agent are paid for by the Company pursuant to its indemnification obligations, a potential litigant may be deterred from bringing a lawsuit against a director, officer, employee or agent because it may be costly to the litigant but not to the indemnified party.

Di r ectors and Executive Officers

The following table sets forth information regarding the members of our board of directors and our executive officers and other significant employees. All directors hold office for one-year terms until the election and qualification of their successors. Officers are elected annually by the board of directors and serve at the discretion of the board.

To the best of the Company’s knowledge, immediately prior to the Closing under the Share Exchange, Peter Van Hierden and Robert Lundgren were not directors, did not hold any position with the Company, nor had they been involved in any transactions with the Company or any of its directors, executive officers, affiliates or associates which would be required to be disclosed pursuant to the rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, other than the transactions in the Share Exchange Agreement and the Asset Purchase Agreement. Richard von Gnechten, who was appointed Chief Financial Officer at Closing, has served as director of the Company and as a partner of Naviscent Group, LLC with Paul Schmidt, the Chief Financial Officer of the Company prior to Closing. Mr. Van Hierden serves as Chairman of the Board of Directors of Global Kingdom Alliance which has secured Mr. von Gnechten’s services as a financial advisor to its affiliated companies. To the best of the Company’s knowledge, none of such persons has been convicted in a criminal proceeding, excluding traffic violations or similar misdemeanors, nor has he been a party to any judicial or administrative proceeding during the past five years that resulted in a judgment, decree or final order enjoining the person from future violations of, or prohibiting activities subject to, federal or state securities laws, or a finding of any violation of federal or state securities laws, except for matters that were dismissed without sanction or settlement.

To the Company’s knowledge, no director, officer or affiliate of the Company, and no owner of record or beneficial owner of more than five percent (5%) of the securities of the Company, or any associate of any such director, officer or security holder is a party adverse to the Company or has a material interest adverse to the Company in reference to pending litigation.

Meetings of Our Board of Directors

Our Board of Directors met in person or via telephone occasionally during our fiscal year ended January 31, 2009. Each member of the Board of Directors attended at least 75% of the meetings.

The Company presently does not have a compensation committee or nominating committee. The Company does have an audit committee, with committee duties currently carried out by a member of our Board of Directors. Our Board of Directors has determined that the audit committee member has sufficient knowledge in financial and accounting matters to serve on the committee and that the member is an “audit committee financial expert” as defined by the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission. The Board of Directors has not adopted a written charter for the audit committee as the management of the Company believes that until this point it has been premature at the current stage of the Company’s management and business development to adopt a formal charter.

The same reasoning applies to the decision not to form a compensation or nominating committee. However, the new management of the Company may form a compensation and nominating committee in the future. Until these committees are established, these decisions will continue to be made by the Board of Directors. New management may also adopt a formal audit committee charter. Although the Board of Directors has not established any minimum qualifications for director candidates, when considering potential director candidates, the Board considers the candidate’s character, judgment, skills and experience in the context of the needs of the Company and the Board of Directors.

The Company’s Board of Directors does not currently provide a process for stockholders to send communications to the Board of Directors as the Company management believes that until this point it has been premature given the limited liquidity of the Common Stock of the Company to develop such processes. However, the new management of the Company may establish a process for stockholder communications in the future.

Director Compensation

We have no standard arrangement pursuant to which our directors are compensated for their services in their capacity as directors. The Board of Directors may award special remuneration to any director undertaking any special services on behalf of our company other than services ordinarily required of a director.

Equity Compensation Plan Information

The Company does have a stock and incentive plan entitled “UpSnap, Inc. Amended 2006 Omnibus Stock and Incentive Plan,” as detailed on Exhibit A of Schedule 14-C Definitive Information Statement filed with the SEC on October 3, 2007. The Board plans to make any necessary changes to this plan to accommodate the conversion of 2,235,610 options to purchase Duratech common stock into UpSnap options.

Shares Authorized Under Equity Compensation Plans

On November 2, 2006, our Board of Directors approved a 2006 Omnibus Stock and Incentive Plan. The Plan made 4,000,000 shares of common stock, either unissued or reacquired by the Company, available for awards of options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stocks, other stock grants, or any combination thereof. Eligible recipients include employees, officers, consultants, advisors and directors. Options granted generally have a ten-year term and vest over four years from the date of grant. Certain of the stock options granted under the Plan have been granted pursuant to various stock option agreements. Each stock option agreement contains specific terms. The Board of Directors increased the size of the Plan to 7,500,000 total shares on August 8, 2007.

Series B Warrants and other Warrants

There are 1,800,000 Series B warrants and 560,000 Viant Capital warrants outstanding that give the holders thereof the right to acquire 2,360,000 shares of our common stock,

 
Series B warrants for the purchase of 1,100,000 and 700,000 shares of our common stock to Sundar Communications and Executives Corner LLC, respectively.

The exercise price of stock options granted during the period ended January 31, 2009 was equal to the market price of the underlying common stock on the grant date.

There was no aggregate intrinsic value as of January 31, 2009. Intrinsic value represents the pretax value (the period’s closing market price, less the exercise price, times the number of in-the-money options) that would have been received by all option holders had they exercised their options at the end of the period.

Directors’ and Officers’ Liability Insurance

The Company has insurance insuring directors and officers against certain liabilities.

Certain Relationships and Related Transactions
 
For the ten-months ended July 31, 2008, Philipp, the CEO, advanced a total of $61,333 to the Company. For the year ended September 30, 2007 and 2006, Philipp advanced $0 and $0 to the Company, respectively. Philipp was paid $32,000 by the Company for 2008 (as of July 31, 2008), and has an accrued salary for 2008 amounting to $61,333 (as of July 31, 2008), which was transferred to UpSnap Services LLC as part of the Asset Sale on September 18, 2008.

After the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Share Exchange Agreement, the Company consummated the sale of its assets related to its mobile information search services, subject to assumption and payment of all of the Company’s liabilities related to periods prior to the closing, to UpSnap Services, LLC, a North Carolina limited liability corporation (“UpSnap Services”), which is owned by Philipp, pursuant to an Asset Purchase Agreement dated as of August 29, 2008 (the “Asset Purchase Agreement”).

Over the past few years the Company had sustained continued financial losses and revenue declines as its business had grown more competitive, it was not able to raise additional capital to expand its operations, it had concerns about obligations to its creditors and its continuation as a going concern, and subsequent to the termination of the proposed merger transaction with Mobile Greetings, Inc., it had explored various financing and acquisition alternatives. Based upon management’s review of alternatives, the Share Exchange Agreement and the Asset Purchase Agreement presented the most viable possibility for future enhancement of shareholder value and for payment of creditors.

Pursuant to the Share Exchange Agreement and the Asset Purchase Agreement, Philipp had agreed, among other things, to indemnify and hold harmless the Company from and against all liabilities as of the Closing Date up to $200,000. As part of the Asset Purchase Agreement, the Company contributed $130,000 to UpSnap Services at Closing solely toward the payment and discharge of the Assumed Liabilities (as defined). The $130,000 contribution was not to be used to pay any of Philipp’s advances to the Company or his accrued salary. Duratech funded this $130,000 capital contribution by wire transfer of $130,000 to the Registrant on the Closing Date. The Asset Purchase Agreement was approved by a majority of the Board of Directors, with Philipp abstaining, in accordance with Nevada Revised Statutes 78.140.
 
Pursuant to the Preferred Stock Agreement, the Duratech Shareholders intend to exchange the Duratech Securities for the UpSnap Securities, and increase their ownership percentage in the Company from 68.3% to 95% of its outstanding common stock.  Peter Van Hierden, the Chairman and CEO of the Company, is one of the Duratech Shareholders and will increase his ownership of the outstanding common stock of the Company from 56.0% to 77.0%.  While the Board of the Company, consisting of Mr. Van Hierden and Richard A. von Gnechten determined that the Preferred Stock Agreement was fair to the Company in light of the increased ownership of Duratech by the Company that would result from consummation of the Preferred Stock Exchange, it does involve a related party transaction.
 
Richard A. von Gnechten, a member of the Board of the Company and also a Managing Director and CEO for Global Kingdom Finance Co., an affiliate of Duratech, was appointed as Chief Financial Officer of the Company as of the Closing. He does not plan to have a salary paid by the Company, nor will he have an employment contract with the Company.

Except for the transactions described above, there are no proposed transactions and no transactions during the past two years to which the Company was (or is) a party, and in which any officer, director, or principal stockholder, or their affiliates or associates, was also a party.
 
Indemnification of Directors and Officers

Pursuant to Section 78.7502 of the Nevada Revised Statutes, the Company will indemnify to the fullest extent permitted by, and in the manner permissible under law, any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed claim, action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (other than an action by or in the right of the corporation) by reason of the fact that such person is or was director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation, or is or was serving at our request as a director, partner, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise. The indemnification covers expenses (including attorneys’ fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement. It also covers costs. The Company may pay advancements towards these expenses. The power to indemnify applies only if such person acted in good faith and in a manner such person reasonably believed to be in the best interests, or not opposed to the best interests, of the corporation and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe his or her conduct was unlawful.
 

Article XI of the Registrant’s Articles of Incorporation provides that the Company shall indemnify all directors, officers, employees, and agents to the fullest extent permitted by Nevada law as provided within NRS 78.7502 and NRS 78.751 or any other law then in effect or as it may hereafter be amended, other than lawsuits by or in the right of the Company.

Further, Article XI provides that the Company shall indemnify each present and future director, officer, employee or agent of the Company who becomes a party or is threatened to be made a party to any suit or proceeding, whether pending, completed or merely threatened, and whether said suit or proceeding is civil, criminal, administrative, investigative, or otherwise, except an action by or in the right of the Company, by reason of the fact that he is or was a director, officer, employee, or agent of the Company, or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director, officer, employee, or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, or other enterprise, against expenses, including, but not limited to, attorneys' fees, judgments, fines, and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by him in connection with the action, suit, proceeding or settlement, provided such person acted in good faith and in a manner which he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interest of the Company, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe his conduct was unlawful.

Trading Information

The Company’s Common Stock is currently approved for quotation on the OTC Bulletin Board maintained by the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. under the symbol “UPSN,” but there is currently no liquid trading market. The challenge for the Company will be to educate the market as to the values inherent in a home and manufactured housing market in Canada, and to develop an actively trading market.

The transfer agent for our Common Stock is Nevada Agent and Trust Company, 50 West Liberty Street, Suite 880 Reno, Nevada 89501, telephone: (775) 322-0626.

PREFERRED STOCK EXCHANGE AGREEMENT

This PREFERRED STOCK EXCHANGE AGREEMENT (“Agreement”) is made effective as of January 8, 2009 by and among the individuals listed on the signature pages hereof (the “Sellers”) and UpSnap, Inc., a Nevada corporation (“UpSnap”).

Background

UpSnap is a Nevada corporation with its principal executive offices located at 2930 9 th Avenue North, Lethbridge, Alberta, Canada  TIH 5E4.

Sellers, with one exception, are individual residents of Lethbridge, Alberta, Canada and are non-U.S. persons within the meaning of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.

Sellers desire to sell and UpSnap desires to purchase all of the Sellers’ shares of  preferred stock, estimated to be not less than 3,198,362 shares of Preferred Stock of Duratech Group Inc., an Alberta corporation and majority owned subsidiary of UpSnap (“Duratech”), and up to 1,203,790 options on Preferred Stock of Duratech (collectively referred to as the “Duratech Securities”), pursuant to this Agreement, in exchange for the issuance by UpSnap of 338,938,010 shares of Common Stock, when the same are authorized, and the issuance of 127,568,470 options on Common Stock of  UpSnap, when the same are authorized  (collectively referred to as the “UpSnap Securities”), in a transaction intended to qualify as a tax free exchange pursuant to sections 351 and 368(a)(1)(B) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended.

The Preferred Stock of Duratech to be acquired by UpSnap is entitled to one vote per share, has a $1.00 liquidation preference and is not entitled to any dividend or conversion privilege. The options on Common Stock of UpSnap shall have substantially the same terms and conditions as the options on the Preferred Stock of Duratech.

NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual promises and covenants set forth herein, as well as other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, the parties agree as follows:

ARTICLE I

EXCHANGE OF DURATECH SECURITIES FOR UPSNAP SECURITIES

1.1            Exchange of Duratech Securities for UpSnap Securities .  Subject to the terms and conditions herein stated, Sellers hereby bargain, sell, transfer, exchange, convey and shall deliver to Upsnap, and Upsnap agrees to accept from Sellers, the Duratech Securities, in exchange for the issuance by UpSnap of 338,938,010 shares of Common Stock, when the same are authorized, to the Sellers and the issuance of 127,568,470 options on Common Stock of  UpSnap, when the same are authorized, and such Duratech Securities shall total not less than 3,198,362 shares of Preferred Stock of Duratech and up to 1,203,790 options on Preferred Stock of Duratech.  The exchange ratio for the exchange of both the Common Stock of UpSnap to the Preferred Stock of Duratech, and for the options on Common Stock of UpSnap to options on the Preferred Stock of Duratech shall be equal to 105.9723627 to one.

1.2            Value of Consideration .  The parties further agree that the value of the combined total of the UpSnap Securities issued in exchange for the Duratech Securities under this Agreement shall be deemed to be approximately the same as the value of the Duratech Securities acquired from Sellers, so that there is no gain or loss to either party as a result of this transaction.

ARTICLE II

REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF SELLERS

Each of the Sellers, by signing this Agreement, represents and warrants as follows:

2.1            Experience .  Sellers have substantial experience in evaluating and investing in private placement transactions so that Sellers are capable of evaluating the merits and risks of their investment in UpSnap.  Sellers, by reason of their business or financial experience or the business or financial experience of their professional advisors who are neither affiliated with nor compensated by UpSnap or any affiliate or selling agent of UpSnap, have the capacity to protect their own interests in connection with the acquisition of the UpSnap Securities under this Agreement.
 

2.2            Purchase Entirely for Own Account .  This Agreement is made with the Sellers in reliance upon the Sellers’ representation to UpSnap, which by the Sellers’ execution of this Agreement the Sellers hereby confirm, that the UpSnap Securities to be received by the Sellers will be acquired for investment for each Seller’s own account, not as a nominee or agent, and not with a view to the resale or distribution of any part thereof, and that the Sellers have no present intention of selling, granting any participation in or otherwise distributing the same. By executing this Agreement, the Sellers further represent that they do not have any contract, undertaking, agreement or arrangement with any person to sell, transfer or grant participations to such person or to any third person, with respect to any of the UpSnap Securities.

2.3               Restricted UpSnap Securities .  The Sellers understand that the UpSnap Securities they are purchasing are characterized as “restricted securities” under the U.S. federal securities laws inasmuch as they are being acquired from UpSnap in a transaction not involving a public offering and that under such laws and applicable regulations such UpSnap Securities may be resold without registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), only in certain limited circumstances.  In the absence of an effective registration statement covering the UpSnap Securities or an available exemption from registration under the Securities Act, the UpSnap Securities must be held indefinitely. In this connection, the Sellers represent that they are familiar with Rule 144 under the Securities Act, as presently in effect, and understand the resale limitations imposed thereby, including without limitation the Rule 144 condition that current information about UpSnap be available to the public, and that such information is now available.

2.4               Access to Data .  Sellers and their representatives have met with representatives of the UpSnap and have had the opportunity to ask questions of, and receive answers from, said representatives concerning UpSnap and the terms and conditions of this transaction as well as to obtain any information requested by Sellers. Any questions raised by Sellers or their representatives concerning the transaction have been answered to the satisfaction of Sellers and their representatives. Sellers’ decisions to purchase the UpSnap Securities are based in part on the answers to such questions as Sellers and their representatives have raised concerning the transaction and on their own evaluation of the risks and merits of the purchase and UpSnap’s proposed business activities.

2.5               Further Limitations on Disposition .  Without in any way limiting the representations set forth above, the Sellers further agree not to make any disposition of all or any portion of the UpSnap Securities unless and until the transferee has agreed in writing for the benefit of the UpSnap to be bound by this Section 2, and: (a) There is then in effect a registration statement under the  Securities Act covering such proposed disposition and such disposition is made in accordance with such registration statement; or (b) (i) The Sellers shall have notified UpSnap of the proposed disposition and shall have furnished UpSnap with a detailed statement of the circumstances surrounding the proposed disposition, and (ii) if requested by UpSnap, the Sellers shall have furnished UpSnap with an opinion of counsel, reasonably satisfactory to UpSnap that such disposition will not require registration of such UpSnap Securities under the Securities Act. It is agreed that UpSnap will not require opinions of counsel for transactions made pursuant to Rule 144 except in unusual circumstances.

Notwithstanding the provisions of subsections (a) and (b) above, no such registration statement or opinion of counsel shall be necessary for a transfer by the Sellers, if it is a partnership, to a partner of such partnership or a retired partner of such partnership who retires after the date hereof, or to the estate of any such partner or retired partner or the transfer by gift, will or intestate succession of any partner to his or her spouse or to the siblings, lineal descendants or ancestors of such partner or his or her spouse, if the transferee agrees in writing to be subject to the terms hereof to the same extent as if he or she were an original Seller hereunder.

2.6               Legends .  It is understood that the certificates evidencing the UpSnap Securities may bear one or all of the following legends: (a) these Upsnap Securities have not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Act"). They may not be sold, offered for sale, pledged or hypothecated in the absence of a registration statement in effect with respect to the UpSnap Securities under such Act or an opinion of counsel satisfactory to the UpSnap Inc. that such registration is not required or unless sold pursuant to Rule 144 of such Act.  (b) Any legend required by the laws of the State of Nevada, including any legend required by the Nevada corporate law.

2.7               Further Representations by Foreign Investors .  If the Seller is not a United States person, such Seller hereby represents that they have satisfied themselves as to the full observance of the laws of  their home jurisdiction in connection with any purchase of the UpSnap Securities or any use of this Agreement, including (i) the legal requirements within its jurisdiction for the purchase of the UpSnap Securities, (ii) any foreign exchange restrictions applicable to such purchase, (iii) any governmental or other consent that may need to be obtained and (iv) the income tax and other tax consequences, if any, that may be relevant to the purchase, holding, redemption, sale or transfer of the UpSnap Securities.  Sellers further represent that their purchase and payment for and continued beneficial ownership of the UpSnap Securities will not violate any applicable securities or other laws of their home jurisdiction.

2.8            Ownership of Duratech Securities .  Each Seller is the lawful record and beneficial owner of the Duratech Securities to be transferred to UpSnap or its designees, which shall be free and clear of all liens, encumbrances, restrictions and claims of every kind and character.  The delivery to UpSnap of the Duratech Securities pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement will transfer to UpSnap valid title thereto, free and clear of any and all encumbrances and free and clear of any and all of the terms and conditions of any pledge agreements and shall vest in UpSnap the sole voting and economic rights to the Duratech Securities.
 

2.9            Non-Issuer, Underwriter or Dealer .  Each Seller is not an issuer, underwriter or dealer within the meaning of Section 4(1) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.

            2.11          Authority .  The Sellers have all requisite power and authority to execute and deliver this Agreement and to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby.  The Sellers have duly and validly executed and delivered this Agreement and execution and delivery of this Agreement by the parties constitutes the legal, valid and binding obligation of the Sellers, enforceable against the Sellers in accordance with its terms, except as such enforcement may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or similar laws affecting creditors’ rights generally.
 
            2.12          No Conflicts .  The execution and delivery by the Sellers of this Agreement and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, do not and will not, by the lapse of time, the giving of notice or otherwise: (a) constitute a breach of any provision contained in, or a default under, any governmental approval, any writ, injunction, order, judgment or decree of any governmental authority or any contract to which the Sellers are a party or by which the Sellers or any of their assets and properties are bound or affected; or (b) result in or require the creation of any lien upon the Duratech Securities or, except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, any of the assets and properties of any of the Sellers.
 
            2.13          Delivery of Medallion Signature-Guaranteed Stock Power .  Each Seller hereby represents and warrants that he or she shall deliver to UpSnap, if requested, a validly executed Medallion signature-guaranteed stock power covering all of the Duratech Securities owned by such Seller.  Such delivery of said stock power shall be via Federal Express or comparable express courier within 2 business days of the execution of this Agreement.  The Sellers agree that if this condition is not met, irreparable harm will be caused to UpSnap, such that this provision may be enforced by injunctive relief, and Sellers hereby agree to waive any objection to such injunctive relief.
 
           2.14           Regulation S Compliance .  The Sellers represent and warrant to, and covenant with, UpSnap as follows:

(1)  
The Sellers are not a U.S. person and are not acquiring the UpSnap Securities for the account or for the benefit of any U.S. person and are not a U.S. person who purchased the UpSnap Securities in a transaction that did not require registration under the Act.

ARTICLE III

REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF UPSNAP

UpSnap hereby represents, warrants and covenants to and with the Sellers as follows:

3.1            Experience .  UpSnap and its representatives have substantial experience in evaluating and investing in private placement transactions so that they are capable of evaluating the merits and risks of UpSnap’s investment in Duratech.  UpSnap,  by reason of its business or financial experience or the business or financial experience of its professional advisors who are neither affiliated with nor compensated by Duratech or any affiliate or selling agent of Duratech, has the capacity to protect its own interests in connection with the purchase of the Duratech Securities under this Agreement.
 

3.2            Purchase Entirely for Own Account .  This Agreement is made with UpSnap  in reliance upon UpSnap’s representation to the Sellers, which by UpSnap’s execution of this Agreement UpSnap hereby confirms, that the Duratech Securities to be received by UpSnap will be acquired for investment for UpSnap’s own account, not as a nominee or agent, and not with a view to the resale or distribution of any part thereof, and that UpSnap has no present intention of selling, granting any participation in or otherwise distributing the same. By executing this Agreement, UpSnap further represents that it does not have any contract, undertaking, agreement or arrangement with any person to sell, transfer or grant participations to such person or to any third person, with respect to any of the Duratech Securities.

3.3            Restricted Duratech Securities .  UpSnap and its representatives understand that the Duratech Securities that UpSnap is purchasing are characterized as “restricted securities” under the U.S. federal securities laws inasmuch as they are being acquired from the Sellers in a transaction not involving a public offering and that under such laws and applicable regulations such Duratech Securities may be resold without registration under the Securities Act, only in certain limited circumstances.  In the absence of an effective registration statement covering the Duratech Securities or an available exemption from registration under the Securities Act, the Duratech Securities must be held indefinitely. In this connection, UpSnap and its advisors represent that it is familiar with Rule 144 under the Securities Act, as presently in effect, and understand the resale limitations imposed thereby, including without limitation the Rule 144 condition that current information about Duratech be available to the public, and that such information is not now available.

3.4            Access to Data .  UpSnap and its representatives have met with representatives of Duratech and have had the opportunity to ask questions of, and receive answers from, said representatives concerning Duratech and the terms and conditions of this transaction as well as to obtain any information requested by UpSnap . Any questions raised by UpSnap  or its representatives concerning the transaction have been answered to the satisfaction of UpSnap  and its representatives. UpSnap 's decision to acquire the Duratech Securities is based in part on the answers to such questions as UpSnap  and its representatives have raised concerning the transaction and on their own evaluation of the risks and merits of the purchase and Duratech’s proposed business activities.

3.5            Accredited Investor .  UpSnap  is either (i) a "qualified institutional buyer" within the meaning of such term under paragraph (a) of Rule 144A under the Securities Act, or (ii) an "accredited investor" within the meaning of such term under paragraph (a) of Rule 501 of Regulation D under the Securities Act.

3.6            Further Limitations on Disposition .  Without in any way limiting the representations set forth above, UpSnap further agrees not to make any disposition of all or any portion of the Duratech Securities unless and until the transferee has agreed in writing for the benefit of the Sellers to be bound by this Section 3, and: (a) There is then in effect a registration statement under the  Securities Act covering such proposed disposition and such disposition is made in accordance with such registration statement; or (b) (i) UpSnap shall have notified the Sellers of the proposed disposition and shall have furnished the Sellers with a detailed statement of the circumstances surrounding the proposed disposition, and (ii) if requested by the Sellers, UpSnap shall have furnished the Sellers with an opinion of counsel, reasonably satisfactory to the Sellers that such disposition will not require registration of such Duratech Securities under the Securities Act. It is agreed that the Company will not require opinions of counsel for transactions made pursuant to Rule 144 except in unusual circumstances.

Notwithstanding the provisions of subsections (a) and (b) above, no such registration statement or opinion of counsel shall be necessary for a transfer by UpSnap , if it is a partnership, to a partner of such partnership or a retired partner of such partnership who retires after the date hereof, or to the estate of any such partner or retired partner or the transfer by gift, will or intestate succession of any partner to his or her spouse or to the siblings, lineal descendants or ancestors of such partner or his or her spouse, if the transferee agrees in writing to be subject to the terms hereof to the same extent as if he or she were the original purchaser  hereunder.

3.7            Legends .  It is understood that the certificates evidencing the Duratech Securities may bear one or all of the following legends: (a) these Duratech Securities have not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Act"). They may not be sold, offered for sale, pledged or hypothecated in the absence of a registration statement in effect with respect to the Duratech Securities under such Act or an opinion of counsel satisfactory to the Company that such registration is not required or unless sold pursuant to Rule 144 of such Act.  (b) Any legend required by the laws of the Province of Alberta, including any legend required by the Alberta corporate law.

3.8            Further Representations by Foreign Investors .  If it is not a United States person, the UpSnap  hereby represents that it has satisfied itself as to the full observance of the laws of its home jurisdiction in connection with any purchase of the Duratech Securities or any use of this Agreement, including (i) the legal requirements within its jurisdiction for the purchase of the Duratech Securities, (ii) any foreign exchange restrictions applicable to such purchase, (iii) any governmental or other consent that may need to be obtained and (iv) the income tax and other tax consequences, if any, that may be relevant to the purchase, holding, redemption, sale or transfer of the Duratech Securities.  UpSnap  further represents that its purchase and payment for and continued beneficial ownership of the Duratech Securities will not violate any applicable securities or other laws of its home jurisdiction.
 

          3.9                       Authorization of Common Stock.   UpSnap hereby represents, warrants and agrees that it will take all corporate action that may be necessary as promptly as practicable to authorize  at least 338,938,010 shares of Common Stock, $.001 par value, and an additional 127,568,470 shares of Common Stock underlying the options to be issued pursuant to this Agreement.

TABLE OF CONTENTS



 
REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FI RM

 
 
To the Board of Directors and
 
Stockholders of Duratech Group, Inc. F/K/A Duratech Contracting, Inc.
 
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of UpSnap Inc. F/K/A Duratech Group, Inc. as of January 31, 2009 and 2008, and the related consolidated statements of income, stockholders’ equity and comprehensive income, and cash flows for each of the years in the two-year period ended January 31, 2009. UpSnap Inc. F/K/A Duratech Group, Inc.’s management is responsible for these financial statements. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.
 
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. The company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audit included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
 
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of UpSnap Inc. F/K/A Duratech Group, Inc. as of January 31, 2009 and 2008, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the years in the two-year period ended January 31, 2009 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
 
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note K to the financial statements, the Company has suffered a loss and has a net deficiency. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans in regard to these matters are also described in Note K. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED AUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEARS ENDED JANUARY 31, 2009 AND 2008


 
NOTE A—SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Organization and Nature of Business —UpSnap, Inc. (“UpSnap” or “the Company”) was incorporated on July 24, 2003 under the laws of the State of Nevada.  The Company was a Development Stage Company, as defined by the Statement of Financial Accounting Standard (“SFAS”) No. 7 “Accounting and Reporting by Development Stage Enterprises”.

On August 29, 2008, UpSnap Inc. (the “Company”) entered into a Share Exchange Agreement (the “Share Exchange Agreement”) by and among the Company; Tony Philipp, an officer, director and shareholder of Company (“Philipp”); Duratech Group Inc., an Alberta, Canada corporation (“Duratech”) and the shareholders of Duratech (“Duratech Shareholders”), including Peter Van Hierden, a citizen of Alberta, Canada and owner directly or indirectly of approximately 96% of the share capital of Duratech (“Van Hierden”).

Upon closing of the share exchange transaction (the “Share Exchange”) on September 17, 2008, the Duratech Shareholders transferred all of their shares of common stock in Duratech to the Company in exchange for an agreement to issue to them an aggregate of 50,349,342 shares of Common Stock of the Company, resulting in Duratech becoming a majority owned subsidiary of the Company.

After the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Share Exchange Agreement, the Company, on the day after the Closing Date, consummated the sale of its assets related to its mobile information search services, subject to assumption and payment of all of the Company’s liabilities related to periods prior to the closing, to UpSnap Services, LLC, a North Carolina limited liability corporation (“UpSnap Services”), which is owned by Philipp, pursuant to an Asset Purchase Agreement dated as of August 29, 2008 (the “Asset Purchase Agreement”). As part of the reverse merger, the Company will cease engaging in the mobile information search services business.

UpSnap, Inc.’s principal operations following the reverse-merger are conducted through Duratech Group Inc. (previously named Duratech Contracting Inc.)  Duratech commenced operations on December 18, 2002 as a small homebuilding company constructing about 5 homes a year until Peter Van Hierden (“Van Hierden”) bought out the majority partners and took control of the operations in July, 2007.  Shortly thereafter, Mr. Van Hierden identified a synergistic opportunity to acquire a modular oil camp factory which was also in distress and acquired the company in July, 2007.  Since that time management has been able to turn both these operations around and now seeks to grow the company organically and through additional acquisitions.

Duratech’s principle operations are building manufactured and stick-built homes and modular oil camps in Alberta and Saskatchewan, Canada which are experiencing very rapid growth primarily because of commodities such as oil, uranium and diverse mining.

Duratech manufactures and builds homes and modular sites for its marketplace, principally Alberta and Saskatchewan.  The Company has three principal products that it offers: First, the company builds on-site conventional homes; Second, the company builds ready-to-move (RTM) homes in factories and brings them on foundations to sell to end users; Third, the company builds modular comp sites for the oil mining industry; and Fourth, the company brings modular and manufactured homes from the United States where markets have been depressed and homes can be bought at discount prices.

On July 1 st , 2007, Duratech Contracting Inc. acquired Duratech Structures Inc. (Previously known as Jobsite Structures).

In July 28, 2008, Duratech Contracting Inc. changed its name to become Duratech Group Inc.

Cash and Cash Equivalents —For purposes of the Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows, the Company considers liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.

Management’s Use of Estimates —The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.  Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Presentation and Foreign Currency Translation —These consolidated financial statement have been prepared in accordance with US generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) and translated into U.S dollars. The prevailing exchange rate used to translate the Canadian dollars to U.S dollars at January 31, 2009 was 0.81248. The average was 0.907744.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED AUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEARS ENDED JANUARY 31, 2009 AND 2008


 
NOTE A—SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
 
Presentation and Foreign Currency Translation (Continued)
 
Assets and liabilities denominated in respective functional currencies are translated into United States Dollars at the exchange rate as of the balance sheet date.  The share capital and retained earnings are translated at exchange rates prevailing at the time of the transactions.  Revenues, costs, and expenses denominated in respective functional currencies are translated into United States Dollars at the weighted average exchange rate for the period.  The effects of foreign currencies translation adjustments are included as a separate component of accumulated other comprehensive income.

Revenue Recognition — Revenues from long-term construction contracts (over one year) of the Duratech Contracting division are recognized using the percentage-of-completion method. Revenues from short-term contracts of the Duratech Structures division are recognized as the work is performed and related costs are incurred. Contract costs include all direct materials and labor costs and those indirect costs related to contract performance, such as indirect labor, supplies, tools, and repair costs. General and administrative costs are charged to expense as incurred.

As a result of the global economic environment and decrease in natural resource prices, demand for on-site conventional homes (long-term construction contracts) have slowed slightly and prices have decreased up to 10% in some markets.  In regards to short-term contracts, the Company has found continued demand for ready-to-move (RTM) homes and a moderation of demand for modular camp sites for the oil mining industry.  The Company expects demand for modular camp sites accelerate with any increase in natural resource prices, principally oil and natural gas.

 Revenue and all related costs and expenses from house and land sales are recognized at the time that closing has occurred, when title and possession of the property and the risks and rewards of ownership transfer to the buyer, and we do not have a substantial continuing involvement in accordance with SFAS No. 66, “Accounting for Sales of Real Estate” (“SFAS 66”). In order to properly match revenues with expenses, we estimate construction and land development costs incurred and to be incurred, but not paid at the time of closing. Estimated costs to complete are determined for each closed home and land sale based upon historical data with respect to similar product types and geographical areas and allocated to closings along with actual costs incurred based on a relative sales value approach. We monitor the accuracy of estimates by comparing actual costs incurred subsequent to closing to the estimate made at the time of closing and make modifications to the estimates based on these comparisons.

Revenue is recognized for long-term construction contract sales on the percentage-of-completion method when the land sale takes place prior to all contracted work being completed. Pursuant to the requirements of SFAS 66, if the seller has some continuing involvement with the property and does not transfer substantially all of the risks and rewards of ownership, profit shall be recognized by a method determined by the nature and extent of the seller’s continuing involvement. In the case of our land sales, this involvement typically consists of final development activities. We recognize revenue and related costs as work progresses using the percentage-of-completion method, which relies on estimates of total expected costs to complete required work. Revenue is recognized in proportion to the percentage of total costs incurred in relation to estimated total costs at the time of sale. Actual revenues and costs to complete construction in the future could differ from our current estimates. If our estimates of development costs remaining to be completed and relative sales values are significantly different from actual amounts, then our revenues, related cumulative profits and costs of sales may be revised in the period that estimates change.

Comprehensive Income (Loss) —The Company adopted Financial Accounting Standards Board Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 130, “Reporting Comprehensive Income” , which establishes standards for the reporting and display of comprehensive income and its components in the consolidated financial statements.  There were no items of comprehensive income (loss) applicable to the Company during the periods covered in the consolidated financial statements.

Cash and Bank Overdraft —Cash consists of cash, cash equivalents and checks issued in excess of cash on deposit. Cash is put in the Bank account which has a negative balance. For the purpose of the cash flow statement, Bank overdrafts are also classified as cash.

Advertising Costs —Advertising costs are expensed as incurred.  For the years ended January 31, 2008 and 2007, the company incurred $39,019 and $14,773 respectively.

Net Loss per Common Share —Statement of Financial Accounting Standard (SFAS) No. 128 requires dual presentation of basic and diluted earnings per share (EPS) with a reconciliation of the numerator and denominator of the EPS computations.  Basic earnings per share amounts are based on the weighted average shares of common stock outstanding.  If applicable, diluted earnings per share would assume the conversion, exercise or issuance of all potential common stock instruments such as options, warrants and convertible securities, unless the effect is to reduce a loss or increase earnings per share.  Accordingly, this presentation has been adopted for the period presented.  There were no adjustments required to net loss for the period presented in the computation of diluted earnings per share.

Income Taxes —Income taxes are provided in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 109, “Accounting for Income Taxes.”   A deferred tax asset or liability is recorded for all temporary differences between financial and tax reporting and net operating loss-carryforwards.

Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance when, in the opinion of management, it is more likely than not that, and some portion or the entire deferred tax asset will not be realized.  Deferred tax assets and liabilities are adjusted for the effect of changes in tax laws and rates on the date of enactment.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED AUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEARS ENDED JANUARY 31, 2009 AND 2008


 
NOTE A—SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
 
Fair Value of Financial Instruments —The carrying amounts reported in the consolidated balance sheet for cash, accounts receivable and payable approximate fair value based on the short-term maturity of these instruments.
 
Accounts Receivable — Accounts deemed uncollectible are written off in the year they become uncollectible.  For the years ended January 31, 2009 and 2008, no amounts were deemed uncollectible as of January 31, 2009.  Outstanding Accounts Receivable as of January 31, 2009 was $812,355.  Typical payment terms for short-term contracts are 30% down, 60% upon completion and 10% holdback to be released once the structure is on-site and attached.  Typical payment terms for stick-built homes (long-term construction contracts) are four draws from bank upon completion of backfill, lockup, ready-to-paint and at completion and a 10% holdback is held for 45 days to allow for builder liens by lawyer.  Accounts receivable are considered current as long as there is reasonable expectation that payments will be made as agreed upon or otherwise negotiated, but in no event longer than 12 months.  The Company evaluates collectability based on receiving payments as agreed upon or as otherwise negotiated.

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets — Using the guidance of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 144, “Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets” , the Company reviews the carrying value of property, plant, and equipment for impairment whenever events and circumstances indicate that the carrying value of an asset may not be recoverable from the estimated future cash flows expected to result from its use and eventual disposition. In cases where undiscounted expected future cash flows are less than the carrying value, an impairment loss is recognized equal to an amount by which the carrying value exceeds the fair value of assets. The factors considered by management in performing this assessment include current operating results, trends and prospects, the manner in which the property is used, and the effects of obsolescence, demand, competition, and other economic factors.

Inventory —Inventory is stated at the lower of accumulated cost or fair value, as determined in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 144, “Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long Lived Assets” (“SFAS 144”). Accumulated cost includes costs associated with land acquisition, land development, and home construction costs, including certain direct and indirect overhead costs related to development and construction. Land acquisition and development costs are allocated to individual lots using actual lot cost determined based on the total expected land acquisition and development costs and the total expected home closings for the project. The specific identification method is used to accumulate home construction costs.

Cost of sales includes the construction cost of the home, the actual lot cost for the home or project, and commissions and closing costs applicable to the home. The construction cost of the home includes amounts paid through the closing date of the home.  Any costs incurred but not yet paid are expensed as incurred and are typically very nominal in nature because the construction projects have been completed before recorded as sales.  The construction cycles for the long-term construction projects (stick-built homes) are approximately one year and for the short-term construction projects (modular and ready-to-move homes) are approximately two to three months.

For those projects for which construction and development activities have been idled for an extended period of time, longer than three months, an impairment analysis will be performed to determine if an adjustment may be necessary.  If the fair market value of a home (based on comparable units in the market) is less than its cost, this would suggest impairment and an appropriate adjustment would be made.  Recent market activity has shown that such fair market value estimates are not very sensitive or subjective.  These analyses are performed on a regular basis and confirmed before filing documents with the Commission. 

Property and Equipment —Property and equipment is stated at cost.  Depreciation is provided by the straight-line method over the estimated economic life of the property and equipment.  The following table shows the estimated useful life used for each class of fixed asset:

Asset

Customer Deposits —The cash deposit received from customers when project in progress are shown in the balance sheet as current liabilities and apply against the revenue expected from customers when the project is terminated and the customers are billed. The deposit is without interest.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements —In February 2007, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 159, “The Fair Value for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities—including an amendment of FASB Statement No. 115”.  This statement permits entities to choose to measure many financial instruments and certain other items at value.  The objective is to improve financial reporting by providing entities with the opportunity to mitigate volatility in reported earnings caused by measuring related assets and liabilities differently without having to apply complex hedge accounting provisions.  This Statement is expected to expand the use of fair value measurement, which is consistent with the Board’s long-term measurement objectives for accounting for financial instruments.  Effective as of the beginning of an entity’s first fiscal year that begins after November 15, 2007. Early adoption is permitted as of the beginning of a fiscal year that begins on or before November 15, 2007, provided the entity also elects to apply the provisions of FASB Statement No. 157, Fair Value Measurements. No entity is permitted to apply the Statement retrospectively to fiscal years preceding the effective date unless the entity chooses early adoption. Adoption of this standard is not expected to have a material effect on the Company’s results of operations or its financial position.

In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS 141(revised 2007), Business Combinations (“SFAS 141R”). SFAS 141R will significantly change the accounting for business combinations in a number of areas including the treatment of contingent consideration, contingencies, acquisition costs, IPR&D and restructuring costs. In addition, under SFAS 141R, changes in deferred tax asset valuation allowances and acquired income tax uncertainties in a business combination after the measurement period will impact income tax expense. SFAS 141R is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008.   Adoption of this standard is not expected to have a material effect on the Company’s results of operations or its financial position.

In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS 160, Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements, an amendment of ARB No. 51 (“SFAS 160”). SFAS 160 will change the accounting and reporting for minority interests, which will be recharacterized as noncontrolling interests (NCI) and classified as a component of equity. This new consolidation method will significantly change the account with minority interest holders. SFAS 160 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008. Adoption of this standard is not expected to have a material effect on the Company’s results of operations or its financial position.

In March 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 161, “Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities — an amendment to FASB Statement No. 133.” SFAS No. 161 is intended to improve financial standards for derivative instruments and hedging activities by requiring enhanced disclosures to enable investors to better understand their effects on an entity’s financial position, financial performance, and cash flows. Entities are required to provide enhanced disclosures about: (a) how and why an entity uses derivative instruments; (b) how derivative instruments and related hedged items are accounted for under Statement 133 and its related interpretations; and (c) how derivative instruments and related hedged items affect an entity’s financial position, financial performance, and cash flows. It is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2008, with early adoption encouraged. The adoption of this statement, which is expected to occur in the first quarter of 2009, is not expected to have a material effect on the Company’s financial statements.

In May 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 162, “The Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles.” SFAS No. 162 identifies the sources of accounting principles and the framework for selecting the principles to be used in the preparation of financial statements of nongovernmental entities that are presented in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States. It is effective 60 days following the SEC’s approval of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board amendments to AU Section 411, “The Meaning of Present Fairly in Conformity With Generally Accepted Accounting Principles.” The adoption of this statement is not expected to have a material effect on the Company’s financial statements.

In May 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 163, “Accounting for Financial Guarantee Insurance Contracts — An interpretation of FASB Statement No. 60.” SFAS No. 163 requires that an insurance enterprise recognize a claim liability prior to an event of default when there is evidence that credit deterioration has occurred in an insured financial obligation. It also clarifies how Statement No. 60 applies to financial guarantee insurance contracts, including the recognition and measurement to be used to account for premium revenue and claim liabilities, and requires expanded disclosures about financial guarantee insurance contracts. It is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008, except for some disclosures about the insurance enterprise’s risk-management activities. SFAS No. 163 requires that disclosures about the risk-management activities of the insurance enterprise be effective for the first period beginning after issuance. Except for those disclosures, earlier application is not permitted. The adoption of this statement is not expected to have a material effect on the Company’s financial statements.

NOTE D—INCOME TAXES
 
Due to the prior years’ operating losses and the inability to recognize an income tax benefit therefrom, there is no provision for current or deferred federal or state income taxes or Canadian taxes for the year ended January 31, 2009.  Deferred income taxes reflect the net tax effects of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amount used for federal and state income tax purposes.
 
For the twelve month periods ended September 30, 2008 and 2007, prior to the reverse-merger with Duratech, the Company incurred net operation losses and accordingly, no provision for income taxes has been recorded.  In addition, no benefit for income taxes has been recorded due to the uncertainty of the realization of any tax assets.  For the period ending September 30, 2008, the Company had additional net operating loss carry-forward for its operations through September 17 prior to the completion of its share exchange agreement with Duratech.  The figures here reflect an estimate of those net operating loss carry-forward (see the Company’s 10-QSB for the period ending June 30, 2008 filed on August 13, 2008 for additional information).  Thus, at September 30, 2008, the Company had approximately $8,881,662 of accumulated net operating losses.  The net operating loss carry-forwards, if not utilized, will begin to expire in 2022.

NOTE D—INCOME TAXES (CONTINUED)
 
The reconciliation of income taxes computed at the federal statutory income tax rate to total income taxes for the year ended September 30, 2008 is as follows:

   
2008
   
2007
 
Income tax computed at the federal statutory rate
    34 %     34 %
State income tax, net of federal tax benefit
    0 %     0 %
Total
    34 %     34 %
Valuation allowance
    -34 %     -34 %
Total deferred tax asset
    0 %     0 %

The Company’s principle subsidiary (Duratech Group Inc.) is subject to income taxes on income arising in or derived from the tax jurisdiction in which it is domiciled and operates (Canada).  However, because of the Company’s lack of earnings history, the deferred tax asset has been fully offset by a valuation allowance.  The valuation allowance increased (decreased) by $1,050,993 and $98,867 for the year ended January 31, 2009 and 2008 respectively. 

The components of Company’s estimated deferred tax asset, calculated using federal and state effective tax rates, as of January 31, 2009 and 2008 are as follows:

Stock Plan
 
On November 2, 2006 the Board of Directors of UpSNAP, Inc. approved a 2006 Omnibus Stock and Incentive Plan. The Plan made four million (4,000,000) shares, either unissued or reacquired by the Company, available for awards of either options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stocks, other stock grants, or any combination thereof. Eligible recipients include employees, officers, consultants, advisors and directors. Options granted generally have a ten-year term and vest over four years from the date of grant. Certain of the stock options granted under the Plan have been granted pursuant to various stock option agreements. Each stock option agreement contains specific terms. The Board of Directors increased the size of the Plan to seven and one half million (7,500,000) total shares on August 8, 2007, which was ratified by stockholders in September 2007.

Stock-Based Compensation

Under the fair value recognition provisions of SFAS No. 123(R), stock-based compensation cost is estimated at the grant date based on the fair value of the award and is recognized as expense over the requisite service period of the award. The Company has awarded stock-based compensation both as restricted stock and stock options.

We use the Black-Scholes option valuation model to value option awards under SFAS No. 123(R). The Company currently has awards outstanding with only service conditions and graded-vesting features. We recognize compensation cost on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period.
 
Time-Based Stock Awards
 
The fair value of each time-based award is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option valuation model, which uses the assumptions described below. Our weighted-average assumptions used in the Black-Scholes valuation model for equity awards with time-based vesting provisions granted during the quarter ended January 31, 2009 are shown in the following table:
 
Expected volatility            70.0%
Expected dividends                 0%
Expected terms 6.0-6.25 years
Pre-vesting forfeiture rate               50%
Risk-free interest rate  4.45%-4.76%

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED AUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE H—EQUITY (CONTINUED)
 
The expected volatility rate was estimated based on historical volatility of the Company’s common stock over approximately the seventeen month period since the reverse merger and comparison to the volatility of similar size companies in the similar industry. The expected term was estimated based on a simplified method, as allowed under SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 107, averaging the vesting term and original contractual term. The risk-free interest rate for periods within the contractual life of the option is based on U.S. Treasury securities. The pre-vesting forfeiture rate was based upon plan to date experience. As required under SFAS No. 123(R), we will adjust the estimated forfeiture rate to our actual experience. Management will continue to assess the assumptions and methodologies used to calculate estimated fair value of share-based compensation. Circumstances may change and additional data may become available over time, which could result in changes to these assumptions and methodologies, and thereby materially impact our fair value determination.

CAUTIONARY STATEMENT REGARDING FORWARD LOOKING INFORMATION

The discussion contained in this 10-K under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), contains forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. The issuer's actual results could differ significantly from those discussed herein. These include statements about our expectations, beliefs, intentions or strategies for the future, which we indicate by words or phrases such as "anticipate," "expect," "intend," "plan," "will," "we believe," "the Company believes," "management believes" and similar language, including those set forth in the discussion under "Business," and "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" as well as those discussed elsewhere in this Form 10-K. We base our forward-looking statements on information currently available to us, and we assume no obligation to update them.

History of Our Company

UpSnap USA Inc. was founded in April 2004 as a mobile search engine using text messaging and pay-per-call advertising. The mobile search engine helps consumers find merchants, content and local services from their mobile handset. During 2004, the company developed its intellectual property platform, and was occupied almost solely with research and development.

On November 15, 2005, UpSnap USA completed a reverse acquisition transaction with Manu Forti Group, Inc., or “Manu Forti” a Nevada corporation that had been formed on July 25, 2003. In connection with the reverse acquisition transaction, UpSnap USA, Inc. became a wholly-owned subsidiary and the name was changed from Manu Forti Group Inc. to UpSnap, Inc.

Manu Forti issued 11,730,000 shares of its Common Stock, constituting 55.5% of its then outstanding shares of Common Stock, to the stockholders of UpSnap USA in exchange for all of the issued and outstanding capital stock of UpSnap USA. UpSnap USA thereby became a wholly-owned subsidiary and the former stockholders of UpSnap USA became our controlling stockholders. The shares were issued to the stockholders of UpSnap USA in reliance upon an exemption from registration requirements of the Securities Act afforded by Section 4(2) of the Securities Act for offers and sales of securities that do not involve a public offering.

For accounting purposes, the share exchange transaction was treated as a reverse acquisition with UpSnap USA as the acquirer and UpSnap, Inc. as the acquired party.
 
On January 6, 2006, we acquired the assets of XSVoice Inc., a provider of streaming media for mobile phones. The acquisition gave us a rich portfolio of audio content, including premier entertainment and news outlets including more than 100 music and entertainment channels. XSVoice has provided nearly 2 million mobile consumers with access to a variety of audio content.

At this point in time, our operations consisted solely of the operations of UpSnap USA, which was our wholly owned subsidiary, as well as that of the business acquired from XSVoice.

On August 9, 2007, we entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger with Mobile Corporation, Inc., a California corporation or MGI, and UpSnap Acquisition Corp., a California corporation and a newly-formed wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, or Merger Sub. On January 14, 2008 we amended the Merger Agreement to extend the termination date to February 29, 2008. The Merger Sub was to be merged with and into MGI, with MGI continuing as the surviving corporation and a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company. MGI is a private corporation engaged in providing content to the mobile phone industry.  The MGI Agreement and Plan of Merger was terminated on March 5, 2008 and the transaction was not consummated.

In fiscal 2006, we derived approximately 97% of our revenues from subscription revenue from one major US mobile operator. In our fourth fiscal quarter July - September 2007, our dependency on this carrier was reduced to approximately 89% of our revenues, as the Company moved towards the more lucrative and higher margin search and advertising related revenues.

On September 17, 2008, we completed a reverse merger with Duratech Group Inc., a corporation organized and existing under the laws of the province of Alberta, Canada (“Duratech”), pursuant to a Share Exchange Agreement, dated August 29, 2008 (the “Share Exchange Agreement”).   In connection with the reverse merger, Duratech became a majority owned subsidiary of UpSnap, and the Duratech Shareholders acquired control of UpSnap.  Pursuant to the exchange, P&R Gateway Developments Inc. and 1371009 Alberta Ltd., the fifty percent owned joint venture companies of Duratech, became indirectly controlled by the Company.
 

As part of the reverse merger, 50,349,342 shares of common stock and 18,950,334 options to purchase Common Stock were issued to the Duratech Shareholders, representing approximately 71% of the issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock and options to purchase Common Stock of the Company post reverse merger.  These shares were issued in reliance on an exemption from registration provided by Regulation S under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.  We expect to change the Company’s name from UpSnap Inc. to Duratech Group Inc. as soon as the filings can be completed.

For accounting purposes, the share exchange transaction was treated as a reverse acquisition with Duratech as the acquirer and UpSnap, Inc. as the acquired party. When we refer in this annual report to business and financial information for periods prior to the consummation of the reverse acquisition, we are referring to the business and financial information of Duratech.

In addition, after the closing of the reverse merger on September 17, 2008, the Duratech Shareholders, Duratech and the Company  entered into a Preferred Stock Exchange Agreement, dated January 8, 2009, pursuant to which the Company agreed to issue 338,938,010 shares of Common Stock, when the same are authorized, and to issue 127,568,470 options on Common Stock of the Company, when the same are authorized (collectively referred to as the “UpSnap Securities”) in exchange for not less than 3,198,362 shares of Preferred Stock of Duratech, and up to 1,203,790 options on Preferred Stock of Duratech which are held by the Duratech Shareholders (the “Preferred Stock Exchange”).  An information statement has been filed with the Commission disclosing, among other things, the terms of the Preferred Stock Exchange and is under review.  However, the UpSnap Securities have not been authorized for issuance to date and the closing of the Preferred Stock Exchange is conditioned on, among other things, the amendment of the Company’s articles of incorporation to permit the issuance of the required 466,506,480 shares of Common Stock under the Preferred Stock Exchange Agreement.  If the articles of incorporation are not amended as proposed, the Preferred Stock Exchange will not be completed.

The Preferred Stock Exchange will enable the Duratech Shareholders to increase their percentage ownership of the outstanding Common Stock and options on Common Stock of the Company from approximately 71% to 95%, which was their initial goal in negotiations leading up to the completed reverse merger transaction.  The limitation on the number of shares of Common Stock that could be issued in the reverse merger due to the Company’s authorized Common Stock of only 97,500,000 shares prevented the Duratech Shareholders from acquiring their desired level of ownership in the Company at that time.  Nonetheless, they exchanged all of their common stock equity in Duratech for the 50,349,342 shares of Common Stock and 18,950,334 options to purchase Common Stock referred to above, but they retained a preferred stock ownership in Duratech equal to approximately 35% of the total equity capitalization of Duratech.

If the authorized capital stock of the Company is successfully amended in a sufficient amount to complete the Preferred Stock Exchange, and the other closing conditions are met, the Preferred Stock Exchange Agreement may be completed.  In exchange for the issuance of additional shares of Common Stock and options on Common Stock to the Duratech Shareholders, the Company’s ownership of the outstanding common and preferred equity capitalization of Duratech will increase from approximately 65% to 99% as a result of the Preferred Stock Exchange.

In connection with the closing of the reverse merger transaction described above, our existing businesses were disposed of to UpSnap Services, LLC, a North Carolina limited liability company organized and owned by Tony Philipp, our former Chairman and CEO.  Henceforth, we will engage in the businesses of Duratech and such other businesses as may be acquired by us.  The description of business that follows consists solely of a description of the business engaged in by Duratech.

SUMMARY OF OPERATIONS

Duratech manufactures and builds homes and modular sites for its marketplace, principally Alberta and Saskatchewan.  The Company has three principal products that it offers: first, the company builds on-site conventional homes through its Duratech Contracting division; second, the company builds ready-to-move (RTM) homes in factories and brings them on foundations to sell to end users; and, third, the company builds modular camp sites for the oil mining industry through its Duratech Structures division.

Duratech had $6.68 million in revenues for its fiscal year end January 31, 2009 compared to $4.97 million for fiscal year end January 31, 2008 and $1.53 million the prior fiscal year. Gross profit was $2,051,000 for the fiscal year end January 31, 2009 compared to $858,000 for the prior fiscal year. Including reorganization, acquisition costs and foreign currency translation gains and losses, the net income for the period end January 31, 2009 was $(935,916)  compared to $(104,735) for the prior fiscal year.

STRATEGY FOR GROWTH

Duratech has two principal strategies for growth: 1) build construction for its existing marketplace and 2) expand through strategic acquisitions both in its existing market and the United States.
 

Build Existing Market:

In its existing marketplace, Duratech supplies the three principal products previously described. Given its competitive advantages in these product areas and the strong growth prospects within Alberta and Saskatchewan, the Company believes that it will be able to grow its three product lines within its existing marketplace.

Expand through Strategic Acquisitions:

In addition to expanding its existing operations in its existing market, Duratech fully expects to leverage its operational success and the experience of its Chairman, CEO and largest shareholder, Peter Van Hierden, to pursue attractive and strategic acquisition targets within its existing market and also in the United States where the real estate market and other business areas offer many potential opportunities, principally businesses with revenues of $750,000 to $10 million and profits of $250,000 to $3 million. Mr. Van Hierden has been an entrepreneur for 30 years and in the past 15 years has successfully helped restore the profitability of six corporations that had losses to generating revenues of $1 million to $30 million.

COMPANY MARKETS

Duratech’s principle operating markets are Alberta and Saskatchewan, Canada, which have historically experienced very strong growth because of the various commodities that are indigenous to the provinces, including oil, uranium and diverse mining.  Alberta is a business friendly province with the lowest tax load of any province in Canada, including no provincial retail tax. Alberta has massive oil reserves with some estimates as high as 1.3 trillion barrels of oil.  For 2007, Statistics Canada confirmed Alberta’s and Saskatchewan’s continued economic growth as evidenced by the increase in real Gross Domestic Product of 3.1% and 3.0%, respectively, and the Saskatchewan Bureau of Statistics reported that total corporate profits before taxes advanced at an annual rate of 22.4% in the province.  As of October 1, 2008, Statistics Canada also showed an increase in the annual population growth rate of 2.36% and 1.49% for Alberta and Saskatchewan, respectively, and an employment growth rate of 2.8% and 2.2%, respectively.  The global financial crisis began to impact Canada and these provinces in late 2008 and thus growth rates have deteriorated.  The Company does expect long-term growth will return once the global financial recession subsides and future growth is expected to last well into the next decade.

COMPETITION

The homebuilding industry is highly competitive and fragmented. We do not have a significant market presence in any of the geographic areas where we are currently building homes or where we expect to build homes in the future. Most of our competitors have substantially greater financial resources than we do, and they have much larger staffs and marketing organizations. However, we believe we compete effectively in our existing markets as a result of our product design, development expertise, and our reputation as a producer of quality homes. We compete for homebuyers on the basis of price, location, design, quality, service, and reputation . In addition to competition for homebuyers, we also compete with other homebuilders for desirable properties, raw materials and reliable, skilled labor.

The manufactured housing industry is highly competitive at both the manufacturing and retail levels, with competition based upon several factors, including price, product features, reputation for service and quality, depth of field inventory, promotion, merchandising and the terms of retail customer financing. We compete with other producers of manufactured homes, as well as companies offering for sale homes repossessed from wholesalers or consumers. In addition, manufactured homes compete with new and existing site-built homes, as well as apartments, townhouses and condominiums.

We do not view any of our competitors as being dominant in the industry as a whole or the principal markets in which we compete, although a number of our competitors possess substantially greater financial, manufacturing, distribution and marketing resources.

The Company’s principal competitors for job site structures would be: Northern Trailer, Arcticore Structures, Atco and BCT Structures. In the homebuilding and ready-to-move homes area it would be: commercial stick builders, SRI Homes and Triple M Homes.  The Company has not found competition from these larger competitors to be a constraint to future growth given the historical growth that has occurred in the market.

BUSINESS AND COMPETITIVE ADVANTAGE

Duratech’s key business and competitive advantages are: 1) Factory construction advantage; 2) Direct sales advantage; and 3) Ready-to-move (RTM) advantage.

Factory Construction Advantage:

Alberta has unique traffic laws which allow transporting homes to a width of 35 feet on the highway. Building homes in a factory has many significant advantages, including: 1) reduced construction time from 6-8 months to 2-3 weeks; 2) improve efficiency in hours of construction by more than 40%; and 3) reduce labor costs by as much as 50% due to using all company staff versus sub-contractors. Overall cost savings of building in a factory is at least 30% compared to on-site, stick-built homes. Using a factory also helps avoid potential weather issues.
 

Direct Sales Advantage:

Whereas traditional modular house builders market their product through a sophisticated dealer network, Duratech buys lots, sets the homes on the foundation and then markets their product through the local Multiple Listing Service (MLS) Real Estate.  Duratech increases its profitability by 30% by bypassing the dealer network. The Company has also established joint venture relationships with P&R Gateway Development Inc. and 1371009 Alberta Ltd. that are interested in carrying approximately $2 million of the cost of homes until they sell.

Ready-to-move (RTM) Advantage:

Duratech is also not constrained to its local real estate market, because the homes it builds can be moved to “hot” real estate markets in Alberta and Saskatchewan, as necessary. This is an advantage compared to stick built homes and allows the company to put the house on a lot with basement and garage (taking out the middleman). No marketing department is required as the company relies on realtors to determine demand levels of individual areas.

SALES AND MARKETING

Duratech does not require an extensive in-house marketing department to sell its homes because it has the flexibility of moving its homes to whatever market may be “hot” in Alberta or Saskatchewan at a particular time. The Company uses real estate brokers and realtors to identify opportunities and to sell the homes that are constructed. The Company also engages a marketing consultant based in Calgary that helps with job site structures (camp sites for oil mining industry).

The principle factors that affect sales volumes and prices are the economies of the markets that the Company serves, principally Alberta and Saskatchewan. There are other risk factors that could impact the company’s business operations, including the impact of global geo-political issues and financial markets beyond the company’s control

Duratech had $6.68 million in revenues for its fiscal year end January 31, 2009 compared to $4.97 million for the prior fiscal year.

New Products

Duratech is continually refining its manufacturing process to ensure the most efficient operations possible.  The Company’s management team is experienced in cost management and process improvement and encourages this philosophy among its manufacturing personnel.  The Company is also continually exploring new construction techniques that might allow it to develop new products in the homebuilding industry.  This is done through on-going discussions with subject matter experts in the construction industry, including individuals experimenting with alternative materials and construction techniques which are proprietary in nature.  The company does not currently have any patents on such techniques, but may file for such in the future.

RAW MATERIALS AND SUPPLIERS

Duratech is basically an assembler of components purchased from outside sources. The major components used by Duratech are lumber, plywood, shingles, vinyl and wood siding, steel, aluminum, insulation, home appliances, furnaces, plumbing fixtures, hardware, and floor coverings. The suppliers are many and range in size from large national companies to very small local companies. At the present time, the Company is obtaining sufficient materials to fulfill its needs.

REGULATION

The Company’s principal regulatory bodies are the building code of each respective province in which it does business. Duratech is Canadian Standards Association (CSA) Certified as part of the A277 Program and Part 9 of 2006 Alberta Building Code.  CSA-A277 is the residential code and CSA-Z240 is the manufactured home code.

CSA is a governing body in the RTM, modular and manufactured home industry.  It abides by and inspects to the National Building Code of Canada 1995, as well as all provincial building codes and has a higher standard than both.  It has a strict quality control procedure that inspects the homes at every level of the building process from blueprint to completion stage. Only companies meeting strict criteria can obtain CSA certification as it can overrule jurisdictions’ local codes and is recognized over provincial codes because of its high standards.

Another certification Duratech holds is Part 10 of the National Building Code of Canada, which governs relocatable commercial structures.  It is regulated by a strict quality control manual and program, which Duratech has in place, and is continuously monitored and evaluated to insure compliance is being met. Both of our certifications enable us to offer a quality product to the customer and give the customer greater assurance of a problem-free structure because of the guidelines, codes and regulations we as a builder must meet to keep the certification.
 

The Alberta Building Code attempts to detail the minimum provisions acceptable to maintain the safety of buildings, with specific regard to public health, fire protection, accessibility and structural sufficiency.  The Building Code sets forth technical provisions for construction, renovation and demolition of structures.  Part 9 is applicable to housing and small buildings and directly impacts the Company’s operations.  It is very prescriptive in nature and is intended to be able to be applied by contractors.

Compliance with the Alberta Building Code is necessary in order for a structure to be deemed fit for occupancy and is a cost of doing business.  The Code is enforceable by the Alberta Municipal Affairs Department, which in addition to producing the Building Code is responsible for the development and dissemination of Code interpretations, variances and bulletins.

Saskatchewan does not have its own provincial building code but rather utilizes the standards of the National Building Code of Canada 1995 as adopted by regulations under the Uniform Building and Accessibility Standards Act.  All site- and factory-built homes and structures in Saskatchewan must comply with these standards.

EMPLOYEES

Duratech Group Inc. has a staff of approximately 30 employees, of which 15 are employed on a full-time basis and approximately 15 are on a contract or part-time basis. This number will fluctuate on a month-to-month basis.

Item 2.  Proper ties

The Company leases its facilities at the following locations:

The company’s headquarters is located at #1 2920 9 th Avenue North, Lethbridge, Alberta, Canada T1H 5E4 and is comprised of 1,100 square feet of office space and 27,000 square feet of plant.

The Company previously had a plant in Cardston, Alberta, Canada located at 855 2 nd Avenue E, which was comprised of 38,000 square feet, but decided to consolidate its operations in Lethbridge in early 2009 in an effort to reduce costs in response to the global economic environment.  The Company continues to utilize a Calgary, Alberta, Canada office located at 95 Sandringham Way NW, comprised of 1,000 square feet.

Item 3. Legal Proceedi ngs

We know of no material, active or pending legal proceedings against us, our subsidiaries or our property, nor are we involved as a plaintiff in any material proceedings or pending litigation. There are no proceedings in which any of our directors, officers or affiliates, or any registered or beneficial shareholders are an adverse party or have a material interest adverse to us.


No matter was submitted to a vote of security holders, other than as set forth below, during the twelve months of the fiscal year covered by this Report.

On October 6, 2008, the majority shareholders of the Company signed a Unanimous Written Consent to approve a change of the name of the Company to “Duratech Group Inc.,” increase the number of shares of authorized Common Stock from 97,500,000 shares to 1,000,000,000 shares and to create 10,000,000 authorized shares of “blank check” preferred stock, par value $.001, with each series having the terms, rights and features as determined by the Board of Directors upon issuance.  An information statement has been filed with the Commission with respect to this action and is under review.

PART II

Item 5.
Market for Registrant’s Common Equity, Related Stockholder Matters and Issuer Purchases of Equity Secu rities

Market Information

Our common stock is currently quoted on a limited basis on the Over-the-Counter Bulletin Board (“OTCBB”) under the symbol “UPSN”. The quotation of our common stock on the OTCBB does not assure that a meaningful, consistent and liquid trading market currently exists. We cannot predict whether a more active market for our common stock will develop in the future. In the absence of an active trading market:
 

(1)   Investors may have difficulty buying and selling or obtaining market quotation;
(2)   Market visibility for our common stock may be limited; and
(3)
A lack of visibility of our common stock may have a depressive effect on the market price for our common stock.

The following table sets forth the range of bid prices of our common stock as quoted on the OTCBB during the periods indicated. The prices reported represent prices between dealers, do not include markups, markdowns or commissions and do not necessarily represent actual transactions.

The Company’s common stock is currently approved for quotation on the OTC Bulletin Board maintained by the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. under the symbol “UPSN,” but there is currently no liquid trading market. The challenge for the Company will be to educate the market as to the values inherent in a home and manufactured housing market in Canada, and to develop an actively trading market.

PRELIMINARY NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

This discussion contains forward-looking statements. The reader should understand that several factors govern whether any forward-looking statement contained herein will be or can be achieved. Any one of those factors could cause actual results to differ materially from those projected herein. These forward-looking statements include plans and objectives of management for future operations, including plans and objectives relating to the products and the future economic performance of the company.

OVERVIEW

On September 17, 2008, the Company consummated a reverse merger with Duratech Group Inc., a corporation organized and existing under the laws of the province of Alberta (“Duratech”).  As a result, Duratech became a majority owned subsidiary of the Company, and the existing businesses of the Company were disposed of one day after the closing.     From and after September 1 8 , 2008, the Company has and will engage only in Duratech’s businesses, and any other businesses that it may acquire .

Duratech manufactures and builds homes and modular sites for its marketplace, principally Alberta and Saskatchewan.  The Company has three principal products that it offers: first, the company builds on-site conventional homes through its Duratech Contracting division; second, the company builds ready-to-move (RTM) homes in factories and brings them on foundations to sell to end users; and, third, the company builds modular camp sites for the oil mining industry through its Duratech Structures division.

Duratech had $6.68 million in revenues for its fiscal year end January 31, 2009 compared to $4.97 million for fiscal year end January 31, 2008 and $1.53 million the prior fiscal year. Gross profit was $2,051,000 for the fiscal year end January 31, 2009 compared to $858,000 for the prior fiscal year. Including reorganization, acquisition costs and foreign currency translation gains and losses, the net income for the period end January 31, 2009 was $(935,916)  compared to $(104,735) for the prior fiscal year. Duratech has two principal strategies for growth: 1) build construction for its existing marketplace and 2) expand through strategic acquisitions both in its existing market and the United States.

FISCAL YEAR ENDED JANUARY 31, 2009 COMPARED TO THE FISCAL YEAR ENDED JANUARY 31, 2008

Operating Revenues . Revenues for the 2009 fiscal year were $6.68 million, compared to revenues for the 2008 fiscal year of $4.97 million. The increase in revenues of $1.71 million is principally attributable to the growth in housing sales of $1 million through its Duratech Structures division and $650,000 through Duratech Contracting division.  Sales for Duratech Contracting division increased from $3.12 million for fiscal year 2008 to $3.76 million for fiscal year 2009 due to an increase in new home sales.  The Duratech Structures division went from $1.857 million for fiscal year 2008 to $2.921 million in sales for fiscal year 2009 due to the increase in sales of modular structures.
 

Gross Profit . Gross profit for the 2009 fiscal year was $2,051,640 compared to gross profit for the 2008 fiscal year of $858,572. The increase in gross profit is attributable to an increase in sales of the company as described above.  The gross profit for Duratech Contracting division increased from $336,000 to $1,227,000 principally due to increase in new home sales.  The gross profit for Duratech Structures division increased from $522,000 to $824,000 reflecting the increase in sales of modular structures.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses . Selling, general and administrative expenses for the 2009 fiscal year were $991,689, compared to selling, general and administrative expenses for the 2008 fiscal year of $396,670, an increase of about $600,000 principally due to transition costs associated with turning-around and expanding its core business and additional overhead expenses associated with taking the company public.

Payroll Expense . Payroll expense for the 2009 fiscal year were $1,712,613, compared to payroll expense for the 2008 fiscal year expense of $489,321 principally due to an increase in business operations at Duratech Contracting division and Duratech Structures division in anticipation of greater growth that did not materialize because of global economic conditions.  The Company subsequently scaled back its operations and overhead to be more in line with expected on-going operations going forward.

Other Expenses . Bad debt expense for the 2009 fiscal year was $62 compared to $3,746 for the same period in the prior year; interest expense for the 2009 fiscal year was $277,653 compared to $48,709 for the 2008 fiscal year due to larger borrowings associated with more houses under construction; and depreciation and amortization expense for 2009 was $124,397 compared to $21,598 for the 2008 fiscal year due to greater property plant and equipment associated with larger operations and purchase of Truss Equipment which is expected to save the company money in the future.

Net Other Income . Net other income for the 2009 fiscal year was $3,781 compared to $2,600 for the 2008 fiscal year.  This income is from interest earned on balances carried by the company.

Net Income . Net loss for the 2009 fiscal year was $(1,050,993) compared to net loss for the 2008 fiscal year of $(98,867). The increase in net loss is principally attributable to the increase in payroll and selling, general and administrative expenses in fiscal year 2009 including turn-around costs and acquisition expenses related to reverse merger. The company does not expect to continue incurring losses going forward as the company has scaled back its operations and overhead in line with current revenue levels and can increase staff as economic conditions improve.  The net loss for 2008 was $(72,515) for Duratech Contracting division and $(26,352) for Duratech Structures division principally due to expansion and overhead costs incurred by each entity.  The net loss for fiscal year 2009 was $(774,965) for Duratech Contracting division which included overhead expenses for the Company and $(276,028) for Duratech Structures division.

Foreign Currency Gains/Losses . Because the Company operates in Alberta and Saskatchewan, Canada, the company does incur foreign currency gains/losses for US GAAP reporting purposes. The Company incurred a gain on currency conversion of $115,077 for the 2009 fiscal year compared to a loss of $5,868 for the 2008 fiscal year. The prevailing exchange rate used to translate the Canadian dollars to U.S dollars at January 31, 2009 was 0.81248. The average was 0.907744.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

As of January 31, 2009, cash and cash equivalents totaled $0. The net cash used in operations for fiscal year 2009 of $589,559 decreased from 2008 fiscal year of $2,106,132 principally due to an decrease in inventories and receivables associated with new housing production as well as an increase in accounts payable. The net cash used in investing activities of $447,336 was mainly due to additions to property, plant and equipment (including (Truss equipment which was paid for with common stock) compared to $99,696 for the prior fiscal year. The decrease in financing activities of $1,036,895 for fiscal year 2009 compared to $2,196,550 in fiscal year 2007 was mainly due to the decrease in the proceeds of loans from shareholders of $592,435 which was converted into stock at the time of the reverse merger, an issuance of shares as part of the reverse-merger and less new long-term debt which was $1,454,770 in the prior fiscal year.

The working capital at January 31, 2009 was $(218,588), comprised of accounts receivable, net of $812,355, other receivables of $117,973 and inventory of $1,947,581 less payables of $961,195, customer deposit of $273,289, short term loans of $319,263; current portion of notes payable of $2,136,664 and current portion of shareholder notes payable of $70,308.

The Company is currently experiencing the effects of a worldwide recession and decreased demand for its products. The western provinces of Canada such as Alberta and Saskatchewan, which had seen a shift in Canada’s economic power to those areas because of oil revenues, have been keenly affected because of the sharp decline in oil prices that began in the last quarter of 2008.   The slump in oil prices has caused oil companies in the region to curtail investment spending, which has resulted in, among other things, increased unemployment, lower wages, a slowdown in housing construction and a weakening housing market.  In addition, construction of modular campsites for oil production facilities has declined as a result of the slower growth in the oil industry.
 

If economic conditions were to worsen and the Company’s products became unsellable, the Company would not be able to recover the full cost of its inventory.  As a result, operations could deteriorate and our liquidity would be further diminished.  This risk, however, is principally related to the Company’s Duratech Contracting division which builds stick-built homes and has approximately $1 million in inventory.  The Company does not expect that this inventory would be unsellable altogether, but may well have to be sold at a lower profit then in the past.  The Company does not expect at this time that it would have to sell such inventory below its cost.  The Company’s Duratech Structures division builds modular homes and other structures on a contractual basis and is paid as work is done so there is little risk that the Company’s inventory for these lines of business would be impacted.

Going forward we will rely substantially on revenue from existing contracts, new business development efforts, and friendly investors that have indicated a willingness to support the Company.  Actual sales will be recorded upon completion of each project while sales and service revenue will be recorded as earned.  To date, the Company has had investors willing to contribute equity or private loans to finance on-going operations.  In addition, the Company does have existing relationships with lending institutions to provide financing on inventory and/or completed homes, including joint venture relationships with P&R Gateway Development Inc. and 1371009 Alberta Ltd., which are willing to finance up to $250,000 of the cost of a project.

However, private parties are under no legal obligation to provide us with future capital infusions and the global economic environment could impact banks willingness to continue to lend on real estate.  Furthermore, the economic conditions within Canada, particularly as a result of natural resources markets, could impact future interest in housing and modular buildings.  Overall, we have funded our cash needs from inception through January 31, 2009 with a series of private loan, debt and equity transactions.

Demand for our products will be dependent upon, among other things, market acceptance of our products, the real estate market in general, and global economic conditions.  Inasmuch as a major portion of our activities is the receipt of revenues from the sales of new home services, our business operations may be adversely affected by our competitors and prolonged recessionary periods.  The Company does believe that the Alberta and Saskatchewan regions, where its principle operations are located, will continue to be attractive Canadian markets, and that these areas will be less impacted by overall economic conditions, but there is no guarantee this will remain so going forward.

The Company has provided a detailed list of risks and cautionary statements in prior filings, including Form 8-K filed with the Commission on September 24, 2008 which is incorporated herein by reference.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

The discussion and analysis of Duratech’s financial condition presented in this section are based upon the audited consolidated financial statements of Duratech Group Inc., which have been prepared in accordance with the generally accepted accounting principles in the United States. During the preparation of the financial statements Duratech is required to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. On an ongoing basis, Duratech evaluates its estimates and judgments, including those related to sales, returns, pricing concessions, bad debts, inventories, investments, fixed assets, intangible assets, income taxes and other contingencies. Duratech bases its estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that it believes are reasonable under current conditions. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.

In response to the SEC’s Release No. 33-8040, “Cautionary Advice Regarding Disclosure About Critical Accounting Policy,” Duratech identified the most critical accounting principles upon which its financial status depends. Duratech determined that those critical accounting principles are related to the use of estimates, inventory valuation, revenue recognition, income tax and impairment of intangibles and other long-lived assets.  Duratech presents these accounting policies in the relevant sections in this management’s discussion and analysis, including the Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements discussed below.

Cash and Cash Equivalents —For purposes of the Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows, the Company considers liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.

Management’s Use of Estimates —The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.  Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Presentation and Foreign currency translation —These consolidated financial statement have been prepared in accordance with US generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) and translated into U.S dollars. The prevailing exchange rate used to translate the Canadian dollars to U.S dollars at January 31, 2009 was 0.81248. The average was 0.907744.

Assets and liabilities denominated in respective functional currencies are translated into United States Dollars at the exchange rate as of the balance sheet date.  The share capital and retained earnings are translated at exchange rates prevailing at the time of the transactions.  Revenues, costs, and expenses denominated in respective functional currencies are translated into United States Dollars at the weighted average exchange rate for the period.  The effects of foreign currencies translation adjustments are included as a separate component of accumulated other comprehensive income.
 

Revenue Recognition — Revenues from long-term construction contracts (over one year) of the Duratech Contracting division are recognized using the percentage-of-completion method. Revenues from short-term contracts of the Duratech Structures division are recognized as the work is performed and related costs are incurred. Contract costs include all direct materials and labor costs and those indirect costs related to contract performance, such as indirect labor, supplies, tools, and repair costs. General and administrative costs are charged to expense as incurred.

As a result of the global economic environment and decrease in natural resource prices, demand for on-site conventional homes (long-term construction contracts) have slowed slightly and prices have decreased up to 10% in some markets.  In regards to short-term contracts, the Company has found continued demand for ready-to-move (RTM) homes and a moderation of demand for modular camp sites for the oil mining industry.  The Company expects demand for modular camp sites accelerate with any increase in natural resource prices, principally oil and natural gas.

 Revenue and all related costs and expenses from house and land sales are recognized at the time that closing has occurred, when title and possession of the property and the risks and rewards of ownership transfer to the buyer, and we do not have a substantial continuing involvement in accordance with SFAS No. 66, “Accounting for Sales of Real Estate” (“SFAS 66”). In order to properly match revenues with expenses, we estimate construction and land development costs incurred and to be incurred, but not paid at the time of closing. Estimated costs to complete are determined for each closed home and land sale based upon historical data with respect to similar product types and geographical areas and allocated to closings along with actual costs incurred based on a relative sales value approach. We monitor the accuracy of estimates by comparing actual costs incurred subsequent to closing to the estimate made at the time of closing and make modifications to the estimates based on these comparisons.

Revenue is recognized for long-term construction contract sales on the percentage-of-completion method when the land sale takes place prior to all contracted work being completed. Pursuant to the requirements of SFAS 66, if the seller has some continuing involvement with the property and does not transfer substantially all of the risks and rewards of ownership, profit shall be recognized by a method determined by the nature and extent of the seller’s continuing involvement. In the case of our land sales, this involvement typically consists of final development activities. We recognize revenue and related costs as work progresses using the percentage-of-completion method, which relies on estimates of total expected costs to complete required work. Revenue is recognized in proportion to the percentage of total costs incurred in relation to estimated total costs at the time of sale. Actual revenues and costs to complete construction in the future could differ from our current estimates. If our estimates of development costs remaining to be completed and relative sales values are significantly different from actual amounts, then our revenues, related cumulative profits and costs of sales may be revised in the period that estimates change.

Comprehensive Income (Loss) —The Company adopted Financial Accounting Standards Board Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 130, “Reporting Comprehensive Income” , which establishes standards for the reporting and display of comprehensive income and its components in the consolidated financial statements.  There were no items of comprehensive income (loss) applicable to the Company during the periods covered in the consolidated financial statements.

Cash and Bank overdraft —Cash consists of cash, cash equivalents and checks issued in excess of cash on deposit. Cash is put in the Bank account has a negative balance. For the purpose of the cash flow statement, Bank overdrafts are also classified as cash.

Net Loss per Common Share —Statement of Financial Accounting Standard (SFAS) No. 128 requires dual presentation of basic and diluted earnings per share (EPS) with a reconciliation of the numerator and denominator of the EPS computations.  Basic earnings per share amounts are based on the weighted average shares of common stock outstanding.  If applicable, diluted earnings per share would assume the conversion, exercise or issuance of all potential common stock instruments such as options, warrants and convertible securities, unless the effect is to reduce a loss or increase earnings per share.  Accordingly, this presentation has been adopted for the period presented.  There were no adjustments required to net loss for the period presented in the computation of diluted earnings per share.

Income Taxes —Income taxes are provided in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 109, “Accounting for Income Taxes.”   A deferred tax asset or liability is recorded for all temporary differences between financial and tax reporting and net operating loss-carryforwards.

Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance when, in the opinion of management, it is more likely than not that, and some portion or the entire deferred tax asset will not be realized.  Deferred tax assets and liabilities are adjusted for the effect of changes in tax laws and rates on the date of enactment.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments —The carrying amounts reported in the consolidated balance sheet for cash, accounts receivable and payable approximate fair value based on the short-term maturity of these instruments.
 

Accounts Receivable — Accounts deemed uncollectible are written off in the year they become uncollectible.  For the years ended January 31, 2009 and 2008, no amounts were deemed uncollectible as of January 31, 2009.  Outstanding Accounts Receivable as of January 31, 2009 was $812,355.  Typical payment terms for short-term contracts are 30% down, 60% upon completion and 10% holdback to be released once the structure is on-site and attached.  Typical payment terms for stick-built homes (long-term construction contracts) are four draws from bank upon completion of backfill, lockup, ready-to-paint and at completion and a 10% holdback is held for 45 days to allow for builder liens by lawyer.  Accounts receivable are considered current as long as there is reasonable expectation that payments will be made as agreed upon or otherwise negotiated, but in no event longer than 12 months.  The Company evaluates collectability based on receiving payments as agreed upon or as otherwise negotiated.

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets — Using the guidance of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 144, “Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets” , the Company reviews the carrying value of property, plant, and equipment for impairment whenever events and circumstances indicate that the carrying value of an asset may not be recoverable from the estimated future cash flows expected to result from its use and eventual disposition. In cases where undiscounted expected future cash flows are less than the carrying value, an impairment loss is recognized equal to an amount by which the carrying value exceeds the fair value of assets. The factors considered by management in performing this assessment include current operating results, trends and prospects, the manner in which the property is used, and the effects of obsolescence, demand, competition, and other economic factors.

Inventory —Inventory is stated at the lower of accumulated cost or fair value, as determined in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 144, “Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long Lived Assets” (“SFAS 144”). Accumulated cost includes costs associated with land acquisition, land development, and home construction costs, including certain direct and indirect overhead costs related to development and construction. Land acquisition and development costs are allocated to individual lots using actual lot cost determined based on the total expected land acquisition and development costs and the total expected home closings for the project. The specific identification method is used to accumulate home construction costs.

Cost of sales includes the construction cost of the home, the actual lot cost for the home or project, and commissions and closing costs applicable to the home. The construction cost of the home includes amounts paid through the closing date of the home.  Any costs incurred but not yet paid are expensed as incurred and are typically very nominal in nature because the construction projects have been completed before recorded as sales.  The construction cycles for the long-term construction projects (stick-built homes) are approximately one year and for the short-term construction projects (modular and ready-to-move homes) are approximately two to three months.

For those projects for which construction and development activities have been idled for an extended period of time, longer than three months, an impairment analysis will be performed to determine if an adjustment may be necessary.  If the fair market value of a home (based on comparable units in the market) is less than its cost, this would suggest impairment and an appropriate adjustment would be made.  Recent market activity has shown that such fair market value estimates are not very sensitive or subjective.  These analyses are performed on a regular basis and confirmed before filing documents with the Commission. 

Customer deposits —The cash deposit received from customers when project in progress are shown in the balance sheet as current liabilities and apply against the revenue expected from customers when the project is terminated and the customers are billed. The deposit is without interest.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

In February 2007, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 159, “The Fair Value for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities—including an amendment of FASB Statement No. 115”.  This statement permits entities to choose to measure many financial instruments and certain other items at value.  The objective is to improve financial reporting by providing entities with the opportunity to mitigate volatility in reported earnings caused by measuring related assets and liabilities differently without having to apply complex hedge accounting provisions.  This Statement is expected to expand the use of fair value measurement, which is consistent with the Board’s long-term measurement objectives for accounting for financial instruments.  Effective as of the beginning of an entity’s first fiscal year that begins after November 15, 2007. Early adoption is permitted as of the beginning of a fiscal year that begins on or before November 15, 2007, provided the entity also elects to apply the provisions of FASB Statement No. 157, Fair Value Measurements. No entity is permitted to apply the Statement retrospectively to fiscal years preceding the effective date unless the entity chooses early adoption. Adoption of this standard is not expected to have a material effect on the Company’s results of operations or its financial position.

In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS 141(revised 2007), Business Combinations (“SFAS 141R”). SFAS 141R will significantly change the accounting for business combinations in a number of areas including the treatment of contingent consideration, contingencies, acquisition costs, IPR&D and restructuring costs. In addition, under SFAS 141R, changes in deferred tax asset valuation allowances and acquired income tax uncertainties in a business combination after the measurement period will impact income tax expense. SFAS 141R is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008.   Adoption of this standard is not expected to have a material effect on the Company’s results of operations or its financial position.
 

In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS 160, Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements, an amendment of ARB No. 51 (“SFAS 160”). SFAS 160 will change the accounting and reporting for minority interests, which will be recharacterized as noncontrolling interests (NCI) and classified as a component of equity. This new consolidation method will significantly change the account with minority interest holders. SFAS 160 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008. Adoption of this standard is not expected to have a material effect on the Company’s results of operations or its financial position.

In March 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 161, “Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities — an amendment to FASB Statement No. 133.” SFAS No. 161 is intended to improve financial standards for derivative instruments and hedging activities by requiring enhanced disclosures to enable investors to better understand their effects on an entity’s financial position, financial performance, and cash flows. Entities are required to provide enhanced disclosures about: (a) how and why an entity uses derivative instruments; (b) how derivative instruments and related hedged items are accounted for under Statement 133 and its related interpretations; and (c) how derivative instruments and related hedged items affect an entity’s financial position, financial performance, and cash flows. It is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2008, with early adoption encouraged. The adoption of this statement, which is expected to occur in the first quarter of 2009, is not expected to have a material effect on the Company’s financial statements.

In May 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 162, “The Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles.” SFAS No. 162 identifies the sources of accounting principles and the framework for selecting the principles to be used in the preparation of financial statements of nongovernmental entities that are presented in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States. It is effective 60 days following the SEC’s approval of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board amendments to AU Section 411, “The Meaning of Present Fairly in Conformity With Generally Accepted Accounting Principles.” The adoption of this statement is not expected to have a material effect on the Company’s financial statements.

In May 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 163, “Accounting for Financial Guarantee Insurance Contracts — An interpretation of FASB Statement No. 60.” SFAS No. 163 requires that an insurance enterprise recognize a claim liability prior to an event of default when there is evidence that credit deterioration has occurred in an insured financial obligation. It also clarifies how Statement No. 60 applies to financial guarantee insurance contracts, including the recognition and measurement to be used to account for premium revenue and claim liabilities, and requires expanded disclosures about financial guarantee insurance contracts. It is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008, except for some disclosures about the insurance enterprise’s risk-management activities. SFAS No. 163 requires that disclosures about the risk-management activities of the insurance enterprise be effective for the first period beginning after issuance. Except for those disclosures, earlier application is not permitted. The adoption of this statement is not expected to have a material effect on the Company’s financial statements.


Exchange Rate Risk

The Company cannot guarantee that the current exchange rate will remain steady; therefore there is a possibility that the Company could post the same amount of profit for two comparable periods and because of the fluctuating exchange rate actually post higher or lower profit depending on exchange rate of Canadian$ converted to US$ on that date. The exchange rate could fluctuate depending on changes in economic environments without notice.
 
Inflation
 
Inflationary factors, such as increases in the cost of raw materials and overhead costs, could impair our operating results. Although we do not believe that inflation has had a material impact on our financial position or results of operations to date, a high rate of inflation in the future may have an adverse effect on our ability to maintain current levels of gross margin and selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of sales revenue if the selling prices of our products do not increase with these increased costs.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FI RM

 
 
To the Board of Directors and
 
Stockholders of Duratech Group, Inc. F/K/A Duratech Contracting, Inc.
 
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of UpSnap Inc. F/K/A Duratech Group, Inc. as of January 31, 2009 and 2008, and the related consolidated statements of income, stockholders’ equity and comprehensive income, and cash flows for each of the years in the two-year period ended January 31, 2009. UpSnap Inc. F/K/A Duratech Group, Inc.’s management is responsible for these financial statements. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.
 
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. The company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audit included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
 
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of UpSnap Inc. F/K/A Duratech Group, Inc. as of January 31, 2009 and 2008, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the years in the two-year period ended January 31, 2009 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
 
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note K to the financial statements, the Company has suffered a loss and has a net deficiency. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans in regard to these matters are also described in Note K. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED AUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEARS ENDED JANUARY 31, 2009 AND 2008


 
NOTE A—SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Organization and Nature of Business —UpSnap, Inc. (“UpSnap” or “the Company”) was incorporated on July 24, 2003 under the laws of the State of Nevada.  The Company was a Development Stage Company, as defined by the Statement of Financial Accounting Standard (“SFAS”) No. 7 “Accounting and Reporting by Development Stage Enterprises”.

On August 29, 2008, UpSnap Inc. (the “Company”) entered into a Share Exchange Agreement (the “Share Exchange Agreement”) by and among the Company; Tony Philipp, an officer, director and shareholder of Company (“Philipp”); Duratech Group Inc., an Alberta, Canada corporation (“Duratech”) and the shareholders of Duratech (“Duratech Shareholders”), including Peter Van Hierden, a citizen of Alberta, Canada and owner directly or indirectly of approximately 96% of the share capital of Duratech (“Van Hierden”).

Upon closing of the share exchange transaction (the “Share Exchange”) on September 17, 2008, the Duratech Shareholders transferred all of their shares of common stock in Duratech to the Company in exchange for an agreement to issue to them an aggregate of 50,349,342 shares of Common Stock of the Company, resulting in Duratech becoming a majority owned subsidiary of the Company.

After the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Share Exchange Agreement, the Company, on the day after the Closing Date, consummated the sale of its assets related to its mobile information search services, subject to assumption and payment of all of the Company’s liabilities related to periods prior to the closing, to UpSnap Services, LLC, a North Carolina limited liability corporation (“UpSnap Services”), which is owned by Philipp, pursuant to an Asset Purchase Agreement dated as of August 29, 2008 (the “Asset Purchase Agreement”). As part of the reverse merger, the Company will cease engaging in the mobile information search services business.

UpSnap, Inc.’s principal operations following the reverse-merger are conducted through Duratech Group Inc. (previously named Duratech Contracting Inc.)  Duratech commenced operations on December 18, 2002 as a small homebuilding company constructing about 5 homes a year until Peter Van Hierden (“Van Hierden”) bought out the majority partners and took control of the operations in July, 2007.  Shortly thereafter, Mr. Van Hierden identified a synergistic opportunity to acquire a modular oil camp factory which was also in distress and acquired the company in July, 2007.  Since that time management has been able to turn both these operations around and now seeks to grow the company organically and through additional acquisitions.

Duratech’s principle operations are building manufactured and stick-built homes and modular oil camps in Alberta and Saskatchewan, Canada which are experiencing very rapid growth primarily because of commodities such as oil, uranium and diverse mining.

Duratech manufactures and builds homes and modular sites for its marketplace, principally Alberta and Saskatchewan.  The Company has three principal products that it offers: First, the company builds on-site conventional homes; Second, the company builds ready-to-move (RTM) homes in factories and brings them on foundations to sell to end users; Third, the company builds modular comp sites for the oil mining industry; and Fourth, the company brings modular and manufactured homes from the United States where markets have been depressed and homes can be bought at discount prices.

On July 1 st , 2007, Duratech Contracting Inc. acquired Duratech Structures Inc. (Previously known as Jobsite Structures).

In July 28, 2008, Duratech Contracting Inc. changed its name to become Duratech Group Inc.

Cash and Cash Equivalents —For purposes of the Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows, the Company considers liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.

Management’s Use of Estimates —The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.  Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Presentation and Foreign currency translation —These consolidated financial statement have been prepared in accordance with US generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) and translated into U.S dollars. The prevailing exchange rate used to translate the Canadian dollars to U.S dollars at January 31, 2009 was 0.81248. The average was 0.907744.

Presentation and Foreign currency translation (Continued)
 
Assets and liabilities denominated in respective functional currencies are translated into United States Dollars at the exchange rate as of the balance sheet date.  The share capital and retained earnings are translated at exchange rates prevailing at the time of the transactions.  Revenues, costs, and expenses denominated in respective functional currencies are translated into United States Dollars at the weighted average exchange rate for the period.  The effects of foreign currencies translation adjustments are included as a separate component of accumulated other comprehensive income.

Revenue Recognition — Revenues from long-term construction contracts (over one year) of the Duratech Contracting division are recognized using the percentage-of-completion method. Revenues from short-term contracts of the Duratech Structures division are recognized as the work is performed and related costs are incurred. Contract costs include all direct materials and labor costs and those indirect costs related to contract performance, such as indirect labor, supplies, tools, and repair costs. General and administrative costs are charged to expense as incurred.

As a result of the global economic environment and decrease in natural resource prices, demand for on-site conventional homes (long-term construction contracts) have slowed slightly and prices have decreased up to 10% in some markets.  In regards to short-term contracts, the Company has found continued demand for ready-to-move (RTM) homes and a moderation of demand for modular camp sites for the oil mining industry.  The Company expects demand for modular camp sites accelerate with any increase in natural resource prices, principally oil and natural gas.

 Revenue and all related costs and expenses from house and land sales are recognized at the time that closing has occurred, when title and possession of the property and the risks and rewards of ownership transfer to the buyer, and we do not have a substantial continuing involvement in accordance with SFAS No. 66, “Accounting for Sales of Real Estate” (“SFAS 66”). In order to properly match revenues with expenses, we estimate construction and land development costs incurred and to be incurred, but not paid at the time of closing. Estimated costs to complete are determined for each closed home and land sale based upon historical data with respect to similar product types and geographical areas and allocated to closings along with actual costs incurred based on a relative sales value approach. We monitor the accuracy of estimates by comparing actual costs incurred subsequent to closing to the estimate made at the time of closing and make modifications to the estimates based on these comparisons.

Revenue is recognized for long-term construction contract sales on the percentage-of-completion method when the land sale takes place prior to all contracted work being completed. Pursuant to the requirements of SFAS 66, if the seller has some continuing involvement with the property and does not transfer substantially all of the risks and rewards of ownership, profit shall be recognized by a method determined by the nature and extent of the seller’s continuing involvement. In the case of our land sales, this involvement typically consists of final development activities. We recognize revenue and related costs as work progresses using the percentage-of-completion method, which relies on estimates of total expected costs to complete required work. Revenue is recognized in proportion to the percentage of total costs incurred in relation to estimated total costs at the time of sale. Actual revenues and costs to complete construction in the future could differ from our current estimates. If our estimates of development costs remaining to be completed and relative sales values are significantly different from actual amounts, then our revenues, related cumulative profits and costs of sales may be revised in the period that estimates change.

Comprehensive Income (Loss) —The Company adopted Financial Accounting Standards Board Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 130, “Reporting Comprehensive Income” , which establishes standards for the reporting and display of comprehensive income and its components in the consolidated financial statements.  There were no items of comprehensive income (loss) applicable to the Company during the periods covered in the consolidated financial statements.

Cash and Bank overdraft —Cash consists of cash, cash equivalents and checks issued in excess of cash on deposit. Cash is put in the Bank account has a negative balance. For the purpose of the cash flow statement, Bank overdrafts are also classified as cash.

Advertising Costs —Advertising costs are expensed as incurred.  For the years ended January 31, 2008 and 2007, the company incurred $39,019 and $14,773 respectively.

Net Loss per Common Share —Statement of Financial Accounting Standard (SFAS) No. 128 requires dual presentation of basic and diluted earnings per share (EPS) with a reconciliation of the numerator and denominator of the EPS computations.  Basic earnings per share amounts are based on the weighted average shares of common stock outstanding.  If applicable, diluted earnings per share would assume the conversion, exercise or issuance of all potential common stock instruments such as options, warrants and convertible securities, unless the effect is to reduce a loss or increase earnings per share.  Accordingly, this presentation has been adopted for the period presented.  There were no adjustments required to net loss for the period presented in the computation of diluted earnings per share.

Income Taxes —Income taxes are provided in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 109, “Accounting for Income Taxes.”   A deferred tax asset or liability is recorded for all temporary differences between financial and tax reporting and net operating loss-carryforwards.

Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance when, in the opinion of management, it is more likely than not that, and some portion or the entire deferred tax asset will not be realized.  Deferred tax assets and liabilities are adjusted for the effect of changes in tax laws and rates on the date of enactment.

NOTE A—SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
 
Fair Value of Financial Instruments —The carrying amounts reported in the consolidated balance sheet for cash, accounts receivable and payable approximate fair value based on the short-term maturity of these instruments.
 
Accounts Receivable — Accounts deemed uncollectible are written off in the year they become uncollectible.  For the years ended January 31, 2009 and 2008, no amounts were deemed uncollectible as of January 31, 2009.  Outstanding Accounts Receivable as of January 31, 2009 was $812,355.  Typical payment terms for short-term contracts are 30% down, 60% upon completion and 10% holdback to be released once the structure is on-site and attached.  Typical payment terms for stick-built homes (long-term construction contracts) are four draws from bank upon completion of backfill, lockup, ready-to-paint and at completion and a 10% holdback is held for 45 days to allow for builder liens by lawyer.  Accounts receivable are considered current as long as there is reasonable expectation that payments will be made as agreed upon or otherwise negotiated, but in no event longer than 12 months.  The Company evaluates collectability based on receiving payments as agreed upon or as otherwise negotiated.

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets — Using the guidance of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 144, “Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets” , the Company reviews the carrying value of property, plant, and equipment for impairment whenever events and circumstances indicate that the carrying value of an asset may not be recoverable from the estimated future cash flows expected to result from its use and eventual disposition. In cases where undiscounted expected future cash flows are less than the carrying value, an impairment loss is recognized equal to an amount by which the carrying value exceeds the fair value of assets. The factors considered by management in performing this assessment include current operating results, trends and prospects, the manner in which the property is used, and the effects of obsolescence, demand, competition, and other economic factors.

Inventory —Inventory is stated at the lower of accumulated cost or fair value, as determined in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 144, “Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long Lived Assets” (“SFAS 144”). Accumulated cost includes costs associated with land acquisition, land development, and home construction costs, including certain direct and indirect overhead costs related to development and construction. Land acquisition and development costs are allocated to individual lots using actual lot cost determined based on the total expected land acquisition and development costs and the total expected home closings for the project. The specific identification method is used to accumulate home construction costs.

Cost of sales includes the construction cost of the home, the actual lot cost for the home or project, and commissions and closing costs applicable to the home. The construction cost of the home includes amounts paid through the closing date of the home.  Any costs incurred but not yet paid are expensed as incurred and are typically very nominal in nature because the construction projects have been completed before recorded as sales.  The construction cycles for the long-term construction projects (stick-built homes) are approximately one year and for the short-term construction projects (modular and ready-to-move homes) are approximately two to three months.

For those projects for which construction and development activities have been idled for an extended period of time, longer than three months, an impairment analysis will be performed to determine if an adjustment may be necessary.  If the fair market value of a home (based on comparable units in the market) is less than its cost, this would suggest impairment and an appropriate adjustment would be made.  Recent market activity has shown that such fair market value estimates are not very sensitive or subjective.  These analyses are performed on a regular basis and confirmed before filing documents with the Commission. 

Property and Equipment —Property and equipment is stated at cost.  Depreciation is provided by the straight-line method over the estimated economic life of the property and equipment.  The following table shows the estimated useful life used for each class of fixed asset:

NOTE A—SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
 
Customer deposits —The cash deposit received from customers when project in progress are shown in the balance sheet as current liabilities and apply against the revenue expected from customers when the project is terminated and the customers are billed. The deposit is without interest.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements —In February 2007, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 159, “The Fair Value for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities—including an amendment of FASB Statement No. 115”.  This statement permits entities to choose to measure many financial instruments and certain other items at value.  The objective is to improve financial reporting by providing entities with the opportunity to mitigate volatility in reported earnings caused by measuring related assets and liabilities differently without having to apply complex hedge accounting provisions.  This Statement is expected to expand the use of fair value measurement, which is consistent with the Board’s long-term measurement objectives for accounting for financial instruments.  Effective as of the beginning of an entity’s first fiscal year that begins after November 15, 2007. Early adoption is permitted as of the beginning of a fiscal year that begins on or before November 15, 2007, provided the entity also elects to apply the provisions of FASB Statement No. 157, Fair Value Measurements. No entity is permitted to apply the Statement retrospectively to fiscal years preceding the effective date unless the entity chooses early adoption. Adoption of this standard is not expected to have a material effect on the Company’s results of operations or its financial position.

In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS 141(revised 2007), Business Combinations (“SFAS 141R”). SFAS 141R will significantly change the accounting for business combinations in a number of areas including the treatment of contingent consideration, contingencies, acquisition costs, IPR&D and restructuring costs. In addition, under SFAS 141R, changes in deferred tax asset valuation allowances and acquired income tax uncertainties in a business combination after the measurement period will impact income tax expense. SFAS 141R is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008.   Adoption of this standard is not expected to have a material effect on the Company’s results of operations or its financial position.

In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS 160, Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements, an amendment of ARB No. 51 (“SFAS 160”). SFAS 160 will change the accounting and reporting for minority interests, which will be recharacterized as noncontrolling interests (NCI) and classified as a component of equity. This new consolidation method will significantly change the account with minority interest holders. SFAS 160 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008. Adoption of this standard is not expected to have a material effect on the Company’s results of operations or its financial position.

In March 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 161, “Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities — an amendment to FASB Statement No. 133.” SFAS No. 161 is intended to improve financial standards for derivative instruments and hedging activities by requiring enhanced disclosures to enable investors to better understand their effects on an entity’s financial position, financial performance, and cash flows. Entities are required to provide enhanced disclosures about: (a) how and why an entity uses derivative instruments; (b) how derivative instruments and related hedged items are accounted for under Statement 133 and its related interpretations; and (c) how derivative instruments and related hedged items affect an entity’s financial position, financial performance, and cash flows. It is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2008, with early adoption encouraged. The adoption of this statement, which is expected to occur in the first quarter of 2009, is not expected to have a material effect on the Company’s financial statements.

In May 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 162, “The Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles.” SFAS No. 162 identifies the sources of accounting principles and the framework for selecting the principles to be used in the preparation of financial statements of nongovernmental entities that are presented in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States. It is effective 60 days following the SEC’s approval of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board amendments to AU Section 411, “The Meaning of Present Fairly in Conformity With Generally Accepted Accounting Principles.” The adoption of this statement is not expected to have a material effect on the Company’s financial statements.

In May 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 163, “Accounting for Financial Guarantee Insurance Contracts — An interpretation of FASB Statement No. 60.” SFAS No. 163 requires that an insurance enterprise recognize a claim liability prior to an event of default when there is evidence that credit deterioration has occurred in an insured financial obligation. It also clarifies how Statement No. 60 applies to financial guarantee insurance contracts, including the recognition and measurement to be used to account for premium revenue and claim liabilities, and requires expanded disclosures about financial guarantee insurance contracts. It is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008, except for some disclosures about the insurance enterprise’s risk-management activities. SFAS No. 163 requires that disclosures about the risk-management activities of the insurance enterprise be effective for the first period beginning after issuance. Except for those disclosures, earlier application is not permitted. The adoption of this statement is not expected to have a material effect on the Company’s financial statements.

NOTE D—INCOME TAXES
 
Due to the prior years’ operating losses and the inability to recognize an income tax benefit therefrom, there is no provision for current or deferred federal or state income taxes or Canadian taxes for the year ended January 31, 2009.  Deferred income taxes reflect the net tax effects of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amount used for federal and state income tax purposes.
 
For the twelve month periods ended September 30, 2008 and 2007, prior to the reverse-merger with Duratech, the Company incurred net operation losses and accordingly, no provision for income taxes has been recorded.  In addition, no benefit for income taxes has been recorded due to the uncertainty of the realization of any tax assets.  For the period ending September 30, 2008, the Company had additional net operating loss carry-forward for its operations through September 17 prior to the completion of its share exchange agreement with Duratech.  The figures here reflect an estimate of those net operating loss carry-forward (see the Company’s 10-QSB for the period ending June 30, 2008 filed on August 13, 2008 for additional information).  Thus, at September 30, 2008, the Company had approximately $8,881,662 of accumulated net operating losses.  The net operating loss carry-forwards, if not utilized, will begin to expire in 2022.

The Company’s principle subsidiary (Duratech Group Inc.) is subject to income taxes on income arising in or derived from the tax jurisdiction in which it is domiciled and operates (Canada).  However, because of the Company’s lack of earnings history, the deferred tax asset has been fully offset by a valuation allowance.  The valuation allowance increased (decreased) by $1,050,993 and $98,867 for the year ended January 31, 2009 and 2008 respectively. 

The components of Company’s estimated deferred tax asset, calculated using federal and state effective tax rates, as of January 31, 2009 and 2008 are as follows:

Stock Plan
 
On November 2, 2006 the Board of Directors of UpSNAP, Inc. approved a 2006 Omnibus Stock and Incentive Plan. The Plan made four million (4,000,000) shares, either unissued or reacquired by the Company, available for awards of either options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stocks, other stock grants, or any combination thereof. Eligible recipients include employees, officers, consultants, advisors and directors. Options granted generally have a ten-year term and vest over four years from the date of grant. Certain of the stock options granted under the Plan have been granted pursuant to various stock option agreements. Each stock option agreement contains specific terms. The Board of Directors increased the size of the Plan to seven and one half million (7,500,000) total shares on August 8, 2007, which was ratified by stockholders in September 2007.

Stock-Based Compensation

Under the fair value recognition provisions of SFAS No. 123(R), stock-based compensation cost is estimated at the grant date based on the fair value of the award and is recognized as expense over the requisite service period of the award. The Company has awarded stock-based compensation both as restricted stock and stock options.

We use the Black-Scholes option valuation model to value option awards under SFAS No. 123(R). The Company currently has awards outstanding with only service conditions and graded-vesting features. We recognize compensation cost on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period.
 
Time-Based Stock Awards
 
The fair value of each time-based award is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option valuation model, which uses the assumptions described below. Our weighted-average assumptions used in the Black-Scholes valuation model for equity awards with time-based vesting provisions granted during the quarter ended January 31, 2009 are shown in the following table:
 
Expected volatility            70.0%
Expected dividends                 0%
Expected terms 6.0-6.25 years
Pre-vesting forfeiture rate               50%
Risk-free interest rate  4.45%-4.76%

NOTE H—EQUITY (CONTINUED)
 
The expected volatility rate was estimated based on historical volatility of the Company’s common stock over approximately the seventeen month period since the reverse merger and comparison to the volatility of similar size companies in the similar industry. The expected term was estimated based on a simplified method, as allowed under SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 107, averaging the vesting term and original contractual term. The risk-free interest rate for periods within the contractual life of the option is based on U.S. Treasury securities. The pre-vesting forfeiture rate was based upon plan to date experience. As required under SFAS No. 123(R), we will adjust the estimated forfeiture rate to our actual experience. Management will continue to assess the assumptions and methodologies used to calculate estimated fair value of share-based compensation. Circumstances may change and additional data may become available over time, which could result in changes to these assumptions and methodologies, and thereby materially impact our fair value determination.

The exercise price of stock options granted during the period ended January 31, 2009 was equal to the market price of the underlying common stock on the grant date.

There was no aggregate intrinsic value as of January 31, 2009. Intrinsic value represents the pretax value (the period’s closing market price, less the exercise price, times the number of in-the-money options) that would have been received by all option holders had they exercised their options at the end of the period.

NOTE I—COMMITMENTS/LEASES

As of January 31, 2009, the company had commitments for the acquisition of residential lots and land. The company had paid non-refundable deposits $ 24,374. This deposit is included in Other receivable.

Pursuant to Rule 13a-15(b) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (“Exchange Act”), the Company carried out an evaluation, with the participation of the Company’s management, including the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, Peter van Hierden CEO”) and Chief Financial Officer, Richard von Gnechten (“CFO”), of the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined under Rule 13a-15(e) or 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based upon that evaluation, the Company’s CEO and CFO concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports that the Company files or submits under the Exchange Act, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules, regulations and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management, including the Company’s CEO and CFO, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.


Management Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting

Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting for the company in accordance with Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act. Our internal control over financial reporting is designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the (i) effectiveness and efficiency of operations, (ii) reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and (iii) compliance with applicable laws and regulations.

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

Management conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting based on the criteria set forth in Internal Control - Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO). Based on this evaluation, management has concluded that the Company’s internal control over financial reporting is effective as of January 31, 2009.

As a result of the evaluation of the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting, referred to in the paragraph above, the Company’s management has identified a material weakness related to its inability to provide management’s annual report on internal control over financial reporting on a timely basis.  A material weakness is a deficiency or combination of deficiencies in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis.

This annual report does not include an attestation report of the Company's registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. Management's report was not subject to attestation by the Company's registered public accounting firm pursuant to temporary rules of the SEC that permit the Company to provide only management's report in this annual report.

Changes in Internal Controls

During the year ended December 31, 2008 there were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.


None.
 
 
PART III


Directors and Executive Officers

Our Bylaws provide that we shall have that number of directors determined by the majority vote of the board of directors. Currently we have two directors. Each director will serve until our next annual shareholder meeting. Directors are elected for one-year terms. Our Board of Directors elects our officers at the regular annual meeting of the Board of Directors following the annual meeting of shareholders. Vacancies may be filled by a majority vote of the remaining directors then in office. Our directors and executive officers are as follows:

Peter van Hierden

Richard von Gnechten

Chief Financial Officer, Director

Backgrounds of Directors

Executive Officers and Directors

Peter Van Hierden , a director, is President and CEO and principal owner of Duratech Group, Inc. Duratech is engaged in the homebuilding and manufactured housing business in Alberta and Saskatchewan, Canada, which are experiencing rapid growth primarily because of commodities such as oil, uranium and diverse mining. Duratech operates through its business units Duratech Contracting and Duratech Structures and through its ownership of 50% of the share capital of two joint venture companies: P&R Gateway Developments Inc. and 1371009 Alberta Ltd., both Alberta corporations. Mr. Van Hierden has been an entrepreneur for over 30 years, having started, run, bought and sold companies over that time period. Over the past 15 years, he helped successfully turn around the profitability, from a loss to a profit, of six companies ranging from $1 million to $30 million in revenue.

Richard von Gnechten , a director since April 19, 2006, has served since 2005 as President and CEO of Ravon Corp., which provides corporate financial advisory services. Mr. von Gnechten joined Hawaiian Electric Company (HECO) in 1991 and served as Financial Vice President & CFO from 2000 to 2004, managing/implementing Sarbanes-Oxley, SEC and NYSE compliance. During his tenure, Hawaiian Electric was recognized by a Dow Jones public company survey as a top 5 company for corporate governance and top 10 for disclosure transparency. Mr. von Gnechten also serves as Managing Director and CEO for Global Kingdom Finance Co. and Partner of Naviscent Group, LLC and board member for several companies.  He has an MBA from Dartmouth’s Tuck School of Business, Financial Management Program graduate from Stanford’s Graduate School of Business and a degree in Economics from the University of Denver.

Family Relationships

There are no familial relationships between our officers and directors.

Meetings of Our Board of Directors

Our Board of Directors met in person or via telephone occasionally during our fiscal year ended January 31, 2009. Each member of the Board of Directors attended at least 75% of the meetings.

Board Committees

The Company presently does not have a compensation committee or nominating committee. The Company does have an audit committee, with committee duties currently carried out by a member of our Board of Directors. Our Board of Directors has determined that the audit committee member has sufficient knowledge in financial and accounting matters to serve on the committee and that the member is an “audit committee financial expert” as defined by the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission. The Board of Directors has not adopted a written charter for the audit committee as the management of the Company believes that until this point it has been premature at the current stage of the Company’s management and business development to adopt a formal charter.

The same reasoning applies to the decision not to form a compensation or nominating committee. However, the new management of the Company may form a compensation and nominating committee in the future. Until these committees are established, these decisions will continue to be made by the Board of Directors. New management may also adopt a formal audit committee charter. Although the Board of Directors has not established any minimum qualifications for director candidates, when considering potential director candidates, the Board considers the candidate’s character, judgment, skills and experience in the context of the needs of the Company and the Board of Directors.

The Company’s Board of Directors does not currently provide a process for stockholders to send communications to the Board of Directors as the Company management believes that until this point it has been premature given the limited liquidity of the common stock of the Company to develop such processes. However, the new management of the Company may establish a process for stockholder communications in the future.

Director Compensation
 
We have no standard arrangement pursuant to which our directors are compensated for their services in their capacity as directors. The Board of Directors may award special remuneration to any director undertaking any special services on behalf of our company other than services ordinarily required of a director.
 
 
Significant Employees

Other than the two individuals serving as directors and officer described above, we do not expect any other individuals to make a significant contribution to our business.

Involvement in Legal Proceedings

None of our directors, executive officers, promoters or control persons has been involved in any of the following events during the past five years:

Ÿ
any bankruptcy petition filed by or against any business of which such person was a general partner or executive officer either at the time of the bankruptcy or within two years prior to that time;

Ÿ
any conviction in a criminal proceeding or being subject to a pending criminal proceeding (excluding traffic violations and other minor offenses);

Ÿ
being subject to any order, judgment, or decree, not subsequently reversed, suspended or vacated, of any court of competent jurisdiction, permanently or temporarily enjoining, barring, suspending or otherwise limiting his involvement in any type of business, securities or banking activities; or

Ÿ
being found by a court of competent jurisdiction (in a civil action), the SEC or the Commodity Futures Trading Commission to have violated a federal or state securities or commodities law, and the judgment has not been reversed, suspended, or vacated.
 
Code of Ethics

The Company has adopted a Code of Ethics that applies to the Company’s chief executive officer, chief financial officer, comptroller, chief accounting officer and persons performing similar functions, (the "Code of Ethics"), a copy of which is included as Exhibit 14 to our Form 10-KSB for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2005, and is incorporated herein by reference. The Code of Ethics is designed with the intent to promote the following:

Honest and ethical conduct
   
Accurate financial records and periodic reports
   
Compliance with all applicable governmental laws, rules and regulations

Section 16(a) Beneficial Ownership Reporting Compliance

Under Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act, all executive officers, directors, and each person who is the beneficial owner of more than 10% of the common stock of a company that files reports pursuant to Section 12 of the Exchange Act, are required to report the ownership of such common stock, options, and stock appreciation rights (other than certain cash-only rights) and any changes in that ownership with the Commission. Specific due dates for these reports have been established, and the Company is required to report, in this Form 10-K, any failure to comply therewith during the fiscal year ended January 31, 2009. The Company believes that all of these filing requirements were satisfied by its executive officers, directors and by the beneficial owners of more than 10% of the Company’s common stock. In making this statement, the Company has relied solely on copies of any reporting forms received by it, and upon any written representations received from reporting persons.


Compensation Discussion and Analysis

We maintain a peer-based executive compensation program comprised of fixed and performance variable elements. The design and operation of the program reflect the following objectives:

-
Recruiting and retaining talented leadership.
-
Implementing measurable performance targets.
-
Correlating compensation directly with shareowner value.
-
Emphasizing performance based compensation, progressively weighted with seniority level.
-
Adherence to high ethical, safety and leadership standards.
 
 
Designing a Competitive Compensation Package

Recruitment and retention of leadership to manage our Company requires a competitive compensation package. Our Board of Directors emphasizes (i) fixed compensation elements of base salary that compare with our compensation peer group of companies, and (ii) variable compensation contingent on above-target performance. The compensation peer group consists of those companies in the Alberta, Canada province that we deem to compete with our Company for executive talent. Individual compensation will vary depending on factors such as performance, job scope, abilities, tenure, and retention risk.

Fixed Compensation

The principal element of fixed compensation not directly linked to performance targets is based salary. We target the value of fixed compensation generally at the median of our compensation peer group to facilitate a competitive recruitment and retention strategy.

Incentive Compensation

Our incentive compensation programs are linked directly to earnings growth, cash flow, and total shareowner return. Annual bonuses are tied to the current year’s performance of our company. Restrictive stock awards are tied to an individual’s success in exceeding targeted results set by management.
 
No compensation in excess of $100,000 was awarded to, earned by, or paid to any executive officer of UpSnap, Inc. during the years 2008, 2007 and 2006, except as described below. The following table and the accompanying notes provide summary information for each of the last three fiscal years concerning cash and non-cash compensation paid or accrued by our chief executive officer and other executive officers earning in excess of $100,000 for the past three years.

(5)    Mr. von Gnechten owns 1,054 shares of Common Stock and 1,364,211 options to purchase Common Stock.

 

For the ten-months ended July 31, 2008, Philipp, the CEO, advanced a total of $61,333 to the Company. For the year ended September 30, 2007 and 2006, Philipp advanced $0 and $0 to the Company, respectively. Philipp was paid $32,000 by the Company for 2008 (as of July 31, 2008), and has an accrued salary for 2008 amounting to $61,333 (as of July 31, 2008).

After the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Share Exchange Agreement, the Company sold its assets related to its mobile information search services, subject to assumption and payment of all of the Company’s liabilities related to periods prior to the closing, to UpSnap Services, LLC, a North Carolina limited liability corporation (“UpSnap Services”), which is owned by Philipp, pursuant to an Asset Purchase Agreement dated as of August 29, 2008 (the “Asset Purchase Agreement”).

Over the past few years the Company has sustained continued financial losses and revenue declines as its business has grown more competitive, it has not been able to raise additional capital to expand its operations, it has recent concerns about obligations to its creditors and its continuation as a going concern, and subsequent to the termination of the proposed merger transaction with Mobile Greetings, Inc., it has explored various financing and acquisition alternatives. Based upon management’s review of alternatives, the Share Exchange Agreement and the Asset Purchase Agreement present the most viable present possibility for future enhancement of shareholder value and for payment of creditors.

Pursuant to the Share Exchange Agreement and the Asset Purchase Agreement, Philipp has agreed, among other things, to indemnify and hold harmless the Company from and against all liabilities as of the Closing Date up to $200,000. As part of the Asset Purchase Agreement, the Company has agreed to contribute $130,000 to UpSnap Services at Closing solely toward the payment and discharge of the Assumed Liabilities (as defined). The $130,000 contribution is not to be used to pay any of Philipp’s advances to the Company or his accrued salary. Duratech has agreed to fund this $130,000 capital contribution. The Asset Purchase Agreement was approved by a majority of the Board of Directors, with Philipp abstaining, in accordance with Nevada Revised Statutes 78.140.

Richard A. von Gnechten, a member of the Board of the Company and also a Managing Director and CEO for Global Kingdom Finance Co., an affiliate of Duratech, was appointed as Chief Financial Officer of the Company as of September 17, 2008. He does not plan to have a salary paid by the Company, nor will he have an employment contract with the Company.

Except for the transactions described above, there are no proposed transactions and no transactions during the past two years to which the Company was (or is) a party, and in which any officer, director, or principal stockholder, or their affiliates or associates, was also a party.

Director Independence

Our securities are quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board which does not have any director independence requirements.  Once we engage further directors and officers, we will develop a definition of independence and scrutinize our Board of Directors with regard to this definition.

NOTE 1—ORGANIZATION AND NATURE OF BUSINESS

UpSnap, Inc. (“UpSnap” or “the Company”) was incorporated on July 24, 2003 under the laws of the State of Nevada.  The Company was a Development Stage Company, as defined by the Statement of Financial Accounting Standard (“SFAS”) No. 7 “Accounting and Reporting by Development Stage Enterprises”.

On August 29, 2008, UpSnap Inc. (the “Registrant”) entered into a Share Exchange Agreement (the “Share Exchange Agreement”) by and among the Registrant; Tony Philipp, an officer, director and shareholder of Registrant (“Philipp”); Duratech Group Inc., an Alberta, Canada corporation (“Duratech”) and the shareholders of Duratech (“Duratech Shareholders”), including Peter Van Hierden, a citizen of Alberta, Canada and owner directly or indirectly of approximately 96% of the share capital of Duratech (“Van Hierden”).

Upon closing of the share exchange transaction (the “Share Exchange”) on September 17, 2008, the Duratech Shareholders transferred all of their shares of common stock in Duratech to the Registrant in exchange for an agreement to issue to them an aggregate of 50,349,342 shares of Common Stock of the Registrant, resulting in Duratech becoming a majority owned subsidiary of the Registrant. In addition, P&R Gateway Developments Inc. and 1371009 Alberta Ltd., fifty percent (50%) owned joint venture companies of Duratech became indirectly controlled by the Registrant.

As part of the Share Exchange, the Duratech Shareholders were issued options to purchase 18,950,334 shares of the Registrant’s Common Stock in substitution for options to purchase 2,235,610 shares of Duratech common stock which they owned prior to the transaction. In order to facilitate the exercise of these new options, the Registrant has agreed to hold 18,950,334 shares of Common Stock in reserve, and instead issue the balance of 50,349,342 shares to the Duratech Shareholders pro rata pursuant to the Share Exchange Agreement.

The shares of Duratech common stock, par value $0.05 per share, are validly issued, fully paid, and nonassessable, and represent one hundred percent (100%) of the common equity ownership of Duratech, and the Duratech Shareholders are the sole record and beneficial owners thereof.  The Duratech common stock represents sixty-five percent (65%) of the issued and outstanding equity capitalization of Duratech, with the other thirty-five percent (35%) consisting of two series of preferred stock, one currently issued to three individuals and outstanding, and the other issued to Van Hierden and Duratech Shareholders on the Closing Date (as defined in the Share Exchange Agreement). Both of the series have a par value of $1.00 per share. The first series, which is currently outstanding and consists of 158,096 shares of Preferred Non-Voting stock, and has a $1.00 liquidation preference, is not entitled to any dividend or conversion privilege, and is to be liquidated in three years. The second series, which is a new series issued to Van Hierden and Duratech Shareholders as of the Closing Date, consists of 3,198,362 shares of preferred stock and is entitled to one vote per share, has a $1.00 liquidation preference and is not be entitled to any dividend or conversion privilege. In addition, holders of options to purchase Duratech common stock were granted options to purchase an additional 1,203,790 shares of this second series of preferred stock.  All of the outstanding Duratech share capital was offered and sold in accordance with applicable Canadian and United States Federal and local securities laws.

After the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Share Exchange Agreement, the Registrant, on the day after the Closing Date, consummated the sale of its assets related to its mobile information search services, subject to assumption and payment of all of the Registrant’s liabilities related to periods prior to the closing, to UpSnap Services, LLC, a North Carolina limited liability corporation (“UpSnap Services”), which is owned by Philipp, pursuant to an Asset Purchase Agreement dated as of August 29, 2008 (the “Asset Purchase Agreement”).

Duratech Group Inc. is a Canadian company that is engaged in the construction and manufacturing of homes in Alberta and Saskatchewan, Canada. As part of the reverse merger, the Registrant will cease engaging in the mobile information search services business. As a result of the Share Exchange, Duratech Group Inc. has become a majority-owned subsidiary of the Registrant.  Based upon management’s review of alternatives, the Share Exchange Agreement and the Asset Purchase Agreement present the most viable present possibility for future enhancement of shareholder value and for payment of creditors.

NOTE A—SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and with the instructions to SEC Form 10-QSB and Article 8 of Regulation S-K. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements.  In preparing the financial statements, management is required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the balance sheet and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses for the period. Actual results could differ significantly from those estimates.  The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the September 30, 2007 audited consolidated financial statements of the Company and notes thereto as incorporated by reference in the Company’s Form 10-KSB filed on January 15, 2008 and in conjunction with the January 31, 2008 audited financial statements of Duratech Group Inc. and the notes thereto as incorporated by reference to the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed on September 24, 2008.

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiary, Duratech Group Inc., incorporated under the Business Corporations Acts of Alberta, Canada.  Intercompany transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.  When required, certain reclassifications are made to the prior period’s consolidated financial statements to conform to the current presentation.

Business Activity — UpSnap, Inc.’s principal operations following the reverse-merger are conducted through Duratech Group Inc. (previously named Duratech Contracting Inc.)  Duratech commenced operations on December 18, 2002 as a small homebuilding company constructing about 5 homes a year until Peter Van Hierden (“Van Hierden”) bought out the majority partners and took control of the operations in July, 2007.  Shortly thereafter, Mr. Van Hierden identified a synergistic opportunity to acquire a modular oil camp factory which was also in distress and acquired the company in July, 2007.  Since that time management has been able to turn both these operations around and now seeks to grow the company organically and through additional acquisitions.

Duratech’s principle operations are building manufactured and stick-built homes and modular oil camps in Alberta and Saskatchewan, Canada which are experiencing very rapid growth primarily because of commodities such as oil, uranium and diverse mining.

Duratech manufactures and builds homes and modular sites for its marketplace, principally Alberta and Saskatchewan.  The Company has four principal products that it offers: First, the company builds on-site conventional homes; Second, the company builds ready-to-move (RTM) homes in factories and brings them on foundations to sell to end users; Third, the company builds modular comp sites for the oil mining industry; and Fourth, the company brings modular and manufactured homes from the United States where markets have been depressed and homes can be bought at discount prices.

On July 1 st , 2007, Duratech Contracting Inc. acquired Duratech Structures Inc. (Previously known as Jobsite Structures).

In July 28, 2008, Duratech Contracting Inc. changed its name to become Duratech Group Inc.

Cash and Cash Equivalents —For purposes of the Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows, the Company considers liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.

Management’s Use of Estimates —The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.  Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Presentation and Foreign currency translation —These consolidated financial statement have been prepared in accordance with US generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) and translated into U.S dollars. The prevailing exchange rate used to translate the Canadian dollars to U.S dollars at October 31, 2008 was 0.831532. The average for the Nine-months ending October 31, 2008 was 0.913774 and for Three-months ending October 31, 2008 was 0.904286.

Assets and liabilities denominated in respective functional currencies are translated into United States Dollars at the exchange rate as of the balance sheet date.  The share capital and retained earnings are translated at exchange rates prevailing at the time of the transactions.  Revenues, costs, and expenses denominated in respective functional currencies are translated into United States Dollars at the weighted average exchange rate for the period.  The effects of foreign currencies translation adjustments are included as a separate component of accumulated other comprehensive income.

Revenue Recognition — Revenues from long-term construction contracts (over one year) are recognized using the completed-contract method. Revenues from short-term contracts are recognized as the work is performed and related costs are incurred. Contract costs include all direct materials and labor costs and those indirect costs related to contract performance, such as indirect labor, supplies, tools, and repair costs. General and administrative costs are charged to expense as incurred.

Comprehensive Income (Loss) —The Company adopted Financial Accounting Standards Board Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 130, “Reporting Comprehensive Income” , which establishes standards for the reporting and display of comprehensive income and its components in the consolidated financial statements.  There were no items of comprehensive income (loss) applicable to the Company during the periods covered in the consolidated financial statements.

NOTE A—SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
 
Cash and Bank overdraft —Cash consists of cash, cash equivalents and checks issued in excess of cash on deposit. Cash is put in the Bank account has a negative balance. For the purpose of the cash flow statement, Bank overdrafts are also classified as cash.

Advertising Costs —Advertising costs are expensed as incurred.  For the Nine-months ended October 31, 2008 and year ended January 31, 2008, the company incurred $16,467 and $39,019 respectively.

Net Loss per Common Share —Statement of Financial Accounting Standard (SFAS) No. 128 requires dual presentation of basic and diluted earnings per share (EPS) with a reconciliation of the numerator and denominator of the EPS computations.  Basic earnings per share amounts are based on the weighted average shares of common stock outstanding.  If applicable, diluted earnings per share would assume the conversion, exercise or issuance of all potential common stock instruments such as options, warrants and convertible securities, unless the effect is to reduce a loss or increase earnings per share. Accordingly, this presentation has been adopted for the period presented. There were no adjustments required to net loss for the period presented in the computation of diluted earnings per share.

Income Taxes —Income taxes are provided in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 109, “Accounting for Income Taxes.” A deferred tax asset or liability is recorded for all temporary differences between financial and tax reporting and net operating loss-carry-forwards.

Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance when, in the opinion of management, it is more likely than not that, and some portion or the entire deferred tax asset will not be realized.  Deferred tax assets and liabilities are adjusted for the effect of changes in tax laws and rates on the date of enactment.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments —The carrying amounts reported in the consolidated balance sheet for cash, accounts receivable and payable approximate fair value based on the short-term maturity of these instruments.  The Company estimates that the fair value of all financial instruments at October 31, 2008 and 2007, as defined in FASB 107, does not differ materially from the aggregate carrying values of its financial instruments recorded in the accompanying balance sheet. The estimated fair value amounts have been determined by the Company using available market information and appropriate valuation methodologies. Considerable judgment is required in interpreting market data to develop the estimates of fair value, and accordingly, the estimates are not necessarily indicative of the amounts that the Company could realize in a current market exchange.

Dividends The Company has not yet adopted any policy regarding payment of dividends. No dividends have been paid or declared since inception.

Accounts Receivable —Accounts deemed uncollectible are written off in the year they become uncollectible.  For the years ended January 31, 2008 and 2007, no amounts were deemed uncollectible as of January 31, 2008.  Outstanding Accounts Receivable as of January 31, 2008 was $555,811 which includes a receivable due from a shareholder (related party) in the amount of $89,289.
 
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets — Using the guidance of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 144, “Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets” , the Company reviews the carrying value of property, plant, and equipment for impairment whenever events and circumstances indicate that the carrying value of an asset may not be recoverable from the estimated future cash flows expected to result from its use and eventual disposition. In cases where undiscounted expected future cash flows are less than the carrying value, an impairment loss is recognized equal to an amount by which the carrying value exceeds the fair value of assets. The factors considered by management in performing this assessment include current operating results, trends and prospects, the manner in which the property is used, and the effects of obsolescence, demand, competition, and other economic factors.

Valuation of Goodwill —In completing its second quarter evaluation (ending March 31, 2008) prior to the Company’s reverse merger with Duratech Group Inc., the Company’s management considered the impact of the Company’s announced termination of the proposed merger with Mobile Greetings, Inc., the Company’s recent stock price, and other industry trends and determined that impairment to goodwill and other intangible assets was required.  To make this determination, the Company compared the carrying value of its equity to its fair value and forecasted future cash flows generated from operations.  For purposes of this evaluation, fair value has been determined based on the recent market value of Company’s equity.  As a result of this evaluation, the Company determined to write off all of the goodwill, recording a non-cash goodwill impairment charge of $5.3 million.  See the Company’s Form 10-QSB for the period ending March 31, 2008 as filed with the SEC on May 15, 2008 for more information on this matter.
 
Segment reporting —The Company follows Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 130, Disclosures About Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information. The Company operates as a single segment and will evaluate additional segment disclosure requirements as it expands its operations.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements — In February 2006, the FASB issued SFAS Statement No. 155, “Accounting for Certain Hybrid Financial Instruments—an amendment of FASB Statements No. 133 and 140” ("SFAS 155"). This Statement amends FASB Statements No. 133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities, and No. 140, Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities. This Statement resolves issues addressed in Statement 133 Implementation Issue No. D1, “Application of Statement 133 to Beneficial Interests in Securitized Financial Assets.” This Statement permits fair value re-measurement for any hybrid financial instrument that contains an embedded derivative that otherwise would require bifurcation, clarifies which interest-only strips and principal-only strips are not subject to the requirements of Statement 133, establishes a requirement to evaluate interests in securitized financial assets to identify interests that are freestanding derivatives or that are hybrid financial instruments that contain an embedded derivative requiring bifurcation, clarifies that concentrations of credit risk in the form of subordination are not embedded derivatives and amends Statement 140 to eliminate the prohibition on a qualifying special-purpose entity from holding a derivative financial instrument that pertains to a beneficial interest other than another derivative financial instrument. SFAS 155 is effective for all financial instruments acquired or issued for the Company for fiscal year begins after September 15, 2006. The adoption of this standard is not expected to have a material effect on the Company’s results of operations or financial position.

In March 2006, the FASB issued SFAS Statement No. 156, “Accounting for Servicing of Financial Assets—an amendment of FASB Statement No. 140”.  This Statement amends FASB Statement No. 140, “Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities” with respect to the accounting for separately recognized servicing assets and servicing liabilities.  This Statement requires that an entity recognize a servicing asset or servicing liability each time it undertakes an obligation to service a financial asset by entering into a servicing contract.  This Statement requires all separately recognized servicing assets and servicing liabilities to be initially measured at fair value, if practicable and it permits an entity to choose either the Amortization Method or the Fair Value Method for each class of separately recognized servicing assets and servicing liabilities.  At its initial adoption, the Statement permits a one-time reclassification of available-for-sale securities to trading securities by entities with recognized servicing rights, without calling into question the treatment of other available-for-sale securities under SFAS No. 115.  This Statement is effective as of the beginning of an entity's first fiscal year that begins after September 15, 2006. Earlier application is permitted if the entity has not yet issued interim or annual financial statements for that fiscal year.  The adoption of this standard is not expected to have a material effect on the Company’s results of operations or financial position.

In June 2006, the FASB issued FIN 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes—an interpretation of FASB No. 109.  This Interpretation clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an enterprise’s financial statements in accordance with FASB No. 109, “Accounting for Income Taxes”.  This interpretation prescribes recognition of threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return.  This interpretation also provides guidance on derecognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure, and transition.  This interpretation is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006. Earlier application is permitted if the entity has not yet issued interim or annual financial statements for that fiscal year. The adoption of this standard is not expected to have a material effect on the Company’s results of operations or financial position.

NOTE A—SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
 
In September 2006, the FASB issued Statement No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements”. This Statement defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), and expands disclosures about fair value measurements.  This statement applies under other accounting pronouncements that require or permit fair value measurements, the Board having previously concluded in those accounting pronouncements that fair value is the relevant measurement attribute. Accordingly, SFAS No. 157 does not require any new fair value measurements. However, for some entities, the application of SFAS No. 157 will change current practice.  This Statement is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007, and all interim periods within those fiscal years. Earlier application is permitted if the entity has not yet issued interim or annual financial statements for that fiscal year. Early adoption of this standard is not expected to have a material effect on the Company’s results of operations or its financial position, but the Company is evaluating the Statement to determine what impact, if any, it will have on the Company.

In September 2006, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 158, “Employers’ Accounting for Defined Benefit Pension and Other Postretirement Plans, an amendment of FASB Statements No. 87, 88, 106 and 132(R)” (“SFAS 158”). This statement requires balance sheet recognition of the funded status, which is the difference between the fair value of plan assets and the benefit obligation, of pension and postretirement benefit plans as a net asset or liability, with an offsetting adjustment to accumulate other comprehensive income in shareholders’ deficit. In addition, the measurement date, the date at which plan assets and the benefit obligation are measured, is required to be the company’s fiscal year end. The Company is currently evaluating the Statement to determine what impact, if any, it will have on the Company.

In February 2007, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 159, “The Fair Value for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities—including an amendment of FASB Statement No. 115”.  This statement permits entities to choose to measure many financial instruments and certain other items at value.  The objective is to improve financial reporting by providing entities with the opportunity to mitigate volatility in reported earnings caused by measuring related assets and liabilities differently without having to apply complex hedge accounting provisions.  This Statement is expected to expand the use of fair value measurement, which is consistent with the Board’s long-term measurement objectives for accounting for financial instruments.  Effective as of the beginning of an entity’s first fiscal year that begins after November 15, 2007. Early adoption is permitted as of the beginning of a fiscal year that begins on or before November 15, 2007, provided the entity also elects to apply the provisions of FASB Statement No. 157, Fair Value Measurements. No entity is permitted to apply the Statement retrospectively to fiscal years preceding the effective date unless the entity chooses early adoption. Early adoption of this standard is not expected to have a material effect on the Company’s results of operations or its financial position, but the Company is evaluating the Statement to determine what impact, if any, it will have on the Company.

In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS 141(revised 2007), Business Combinations (“SFAS 141R”). SFAS 141R will significantly change the accounting for business combinations in a number of areas including the treatment of contingent consideration, contingencies, acquisition costs, IPR&D and restructuring costs. In addition, under SFAS 141R, changes in deferred tax asset valuation allowances and acquired income tax uncertainties in a business combination after the measurement period will impact income tax expense. SFAS 141R is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008.  The Company has not yet determined the impact, if any, of SFAS 141R on its consolidated financial statements.
 
In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS 160, Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements, an amendment of ARB No. 51 (“SFAS 160”). SFAS 160 will change the accounting and reporting for minority interests, which will be recharacterized as noncontrolling interests (NCI) and classified as a component of equity. This new consolidation method will significantly change the account with minority interest holders. SFAS 160 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008. The Company has not yet determined the impact, if any, of SFAS 160 on its consolidated financial statements.

On November 2, 2006 the Board of Directors of UpSNAP, Inc. approved a 2006 Omnibus Stock and Incentive Plan. The Plan made four million (4,000,000) shares, either unissued or reacquired by the Company, available for awards of either options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stocks, other stock grants, or any combination thereof. Eligible recipients include employees, officers, consultants, advisors and directors. Options granted generally have a ten-year term and vest over four years from the date of grant. Certain of the stock options granted under the Plan have been granted pursuant to various stock option agreements. Each stock option agreement contains specific terms. The Board of Directors increased the size of the Plan to seven and one half million (7,500,000) total shares on August 8, 2007, which was ratified by stockholders in September 2007.

Stock-Based Compensation

Under the fair value recognition provisions of SFAS No. 123(R), stock-based compensation cost is estimated at the grant date based on the fair value of the award and is recognized as expense over the requisite service period of the award. The Company has awarded stock-based compensation both as restricted stock and stock options.

We use the Black-Scholes option valuation model to value option awards under SFAS No. 123(R). The Company currently has awards outstanding with only service conditions and graded-vesting features. We recognize compensation cost on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period.
 
Unrecognized stock-based compensation expense expected to be recognized over an estimated weighted-average amortization period of 2.4 years was approximately $151,357 at October 31, 2008.

Time-Based Stock Awards
 
The fair value of each time-based award is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option valuation model, which uses the assumptions described below. Our weighted-average assumptions used in the Black-Scholes valuation model for equity awards with time-based vesting provisions granted during the quarter ended October 31, 2008 are shown in the following table:
 
Expected volatility            70.0%
Expected dividends                 0%
Expected terms 6.0-6.25 years
Pre-vesting forfeiture rate               50%
Risk-free interest rate  4.45%-4.76%
 
The expected volatility rate was estimated based on historical volatility of the Company’s common stock over approximately the seventeen month period since the reverse merger and comparison to the volatility of similar size companies in the similar industry. The expected term was estimated based on a simplified method, as allowed under SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 107, averaging the vesting term and original contractual term. The risk-free interest rate for periods within the contractual life of the option is based on U.S. Treasury securities. The pre-vesting forfeiture rate was based upon plan to date experience. As required under SFAS No. 123(R), we will adjust the estimated forfeiture rate to our actual experience. Management will continue to assess the assumptions and methodologies used to calculate estimated fair value of share-based compensation. Circumstances may change and additional data may become available over time, which could result in changes to these assumptions and methodologies, and thereby materially impact our fair value determination.

NOTE I—COMMITMENTS/LEASES

As of October 31, 2008, the company had commitments for the acquisition of residential lots and land. The company had paid non-refundable deposits $ 26,983. This deposit is included in Accounts receivable.

NOTE J—RELATED PARTIES

The Company has an outstanding amount Due to a shareholder in the amount of $81,299.  This outstanding amount is due upon demand, is unsecured and does not bear an interest rate.  Mr. Van Hierden converted a prior loan to the company into equity in Duratech prior to the reverse-merger with the Company.

NOTE K—GOING CONCERN

As shown in the accompanying financial statements, the Company had a loss for the Nine-months ended October 31, 2008.  During the years ended January 31, 2008 and 2007, the Company had a net loss of $104,735 and a net profit of $51,746 respectively. The Company has a net deficiency of $683,437.

Management believes that actions presently being taken to win more contracts, raise equity capital, seek strategic relationships and alliances, and build its marketing efforts to generate positive cash flow provide the means for the Company to continue as a going concern. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
 
 
ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OR PLAN OF OPERATIONS

All references to the “Company,” “we,” “our” and “us” for periods prior to the closing of the Share Exchange refer to the Registrant, and references to the “Company,” “we,” “our” and “us” for periods subsequent to the closing of the Share Exchange refer to the Registrant and its subsidiaries.

The following discussion highlights the principal factors that have affected our financial condition and results of operations as well as our liquidity and capital resources for the periods described. This discussion contains forward-looking statements. Please see “Special cautionary statement concerning forward-looking statements” and “Risk factors” for a discussion of the uncertainties, risks and assumptions associated with these forward-looking statements. The operating results for the periods presented were not significantly affected by inflation.

HISTORY AND BACKGROUND

UpSNAP USA Inc. was founded in April 2004 as a mobile search engine using text messaging and pay-per-call advertising. The mobile search engine helps consumers find merchants, content and local services from their mobile handset.   During 2004, the company developed its intellectual property platform, and was occupied almost solely with research and development.

On November 15, 2005, UpSNAP USA completed a reverse acquisition transaction with Manu Forti Group, Inc., or “Manu Forti” a Nevada corporation that had been formed in July 25, 2003. In connection with the reverse acquisition transaction, UpSNAP USA, Inc. became a wholly-owned subsidiary and the name was changed from Manu Forti Group Inc. to UpSNAP, Inc. The original business plan of Manu Forti was to explore mineral property in British Columbia. In the summer of 2005 Manu Forti decided that it would not be successful in that endeavor. Accordingly, Manu Forti wound down the mineral exploration business and became a shell company and sought out acquisition targets.

Over the past few years the Company has sustained continued financial losses and revenue declines as its business has grown more competitive, it has not been able to raise additional capital to expand its operations, it has recent concerns about obligations to its creditors and its continuation as a going concern, and subsequent to the termination of the proposed merger transaction with Mobile Greetings, Inc., it has explored various financing and acquisition alternatives.

In August, 2008, the management of the Registrant determined that it was in the best interests of the stockholders of the Registrant to agree to the Share Exchange and acquire Duratech Group Inc., a Canadian company that is engaged in the construction and manufacturing of homes in Alberta and Saskatchewan, Canada.  As part of the reverse merger, the Registrant will cease engaging in the mobile information search services business. As a result of the Share Exchange, Duratech Group Inc. has become a majority-owned subsidiary of the Registrant.  Based upon management’s review of alternatives, the Share Exchange Agreement and the Asset Purchase Agreement present the most viable present possibility for future enhancement of shareholder value and for payment of creditors.

The financial results summarized below are based on the Duratech Group Inc. unaudited balance sheet as of October 31, 2008 and related unaudited statements of operations and retained earnings for the Three and Nine-Months and statements of cash flows for the Nine-Months ended October 31, 2008.  For additional information on Duratech Group Inc. see the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed on September 24, 2008 with audited financial statements of Duratech Group Inc. and the notes thereto for the period ending January 31, 2008.

SHARE EXCHANGE AND ASSET PURCHASE

The Share Exchange Agreement: On August 29, 2008, UpSnap Inc. (the “Registrant”) entered into a Share Exchange Agreement (the “Share Exchange Agreement”) by and among the Registrant; Tony Philipp, an officer, director and shareholder of Registrant (“Philipp”); Duratech Group Inc., an Alberta, Canada corporation (“Duratech”) and the shareholders of Duratech (“Duratech Shareholders”), including Peter Van Hierden, a citizen of Alberta, Canada and owner directly or indirectly of approximately 96% of the share capital of Duratech (“Van Hierden”).

Upon closing of the share exchange transaction (the “Share Exchange”) on September 17, 2008, the Duratech Shareholders transferred all of their shares of common stock in Duratech to the Registrant in exchange for an agreement to issue to them an aggregate of 50,349,342 shares of Common Stock of the Registrant, resulting in Duratech becoming a majority owned subsidiary of the Registrant. In addition, P&R Gateway Developments Inc. and 1371009 Alberta Ltd., fifty percent (50%) owned joint venture companies of Duratech became indirectly controlled by the Registrant.
 

As part of the Share Exchange, the Duratech Shareholders were issued options to purchase 18,950,334 shares of the Registrant’s Common Stock in substitution for options to purchase 2,235,610 shares of Duratech common stock which they owned prior to the transaction. In order to facilitate the exercise of these new options, the Registrant has agreed to hold 18,950,334 shares of Common Stock in reserve, and instead issue the balance of 50,349,342 shares to the Duratech Shareholders pro rata pursuant to the Share Exchange Agreement.

The shares of Duratech common stock, par value $0.05 per share, are validly issued, fully paid, and nonassessable, and represent one hundred percent (100%) of the common equity ownership of Duratech, and the Duratech Shareholders are the sole record and beneficial owners thereof. The Duratech common stock represents sixty-five percent (65%) of the issued and outstanding equity capitalization of Duratech, with the other thirty-five percent (35%) consisting of two series of preferred stock, one currently issued to three individuals and outstanding, and the other issued to Van Hierden and Duratech Shareholders on the Closing Date (as defined in the Share Exchange Agreement). Both of the series have a par value of $1.00 per share. The first series, which is currently outstanding and consists of 158,096 shares of Preferred Non-Voting stock, and has a $1.00 liquidation preference, is not entitled to any dividend or conversion privilege, and is to be liquidated in three years. The second series, which is a new series issued to Van Hierden and Duratech Shareholders as of the Closing Date, consists of 3,198,362 shares of preferred stock and is entitled to one vote per share, has a $1.00 liquidation preference and is not be entitled to any dividend or conversion privilege. In addition, holders of options to purchase Duratech common stock were granted options to purchase an additional 1,203,790 shares of this second series of preferred stock.  All of the outstanding Duratech share capital was offered and sold in accordance with applicable Canadian and United States Federal and local securities laws.

Also, as mentioned above, in connection with the Share Exchange, a total of 2,235,610 options to purchase Duratech common stock were converted into 18,950,334 options to purchase common stock of the Registrant, calculated according to an agreed upon formula. This will enable the Duratech Shareholders to transfer one hundred percent (100%) of the common ownership of Duratech to the Registrant. These options are included in the 69,299,676 shares referenced above.

After the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Share Exchange Agreement, the Registrant, on the day after the Closing Date, consummated the sale of its assets related to its mobile information search services, subject to assumption and payment of all of the Registrant’s liabilities related to periods prior to the closing, to UpSnap Services, LLC, a North Carolina limited liability corporation (“UpSnap Services”), which is owned by Philipp, pursuant to an Asset Purchase Agreement dated as of August 29, 2008 (the “Asset Purchase Agreement”).

The Asset Purchase : On August 29, 2008, the Registrant entered into the Asset Purchase Agreement with Philip, UpSnap Services and the Company. After the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Share Exchange Agreement, the Company transferred its assets related to its mobile information search services, subject to assumption and payment of all of the Company’s liabilities related to periods prior to the closing, to UpSnap Services, which is owned by Philipp, pursuant to an Asset Purchase Agreement dated as of August 29, 2008.

Pursuant to the Share Exchange Agreement and the Asset Purchase Agreement, Philipp has agreed, among other things, to indemnify and hold harmless the Registrant from and against all liabilities as of the Closing Date up to $200,000. As part of the Asset Purchase Agreement, the Registrant contributed $130,000 to UpSnap Services at Closing (as defined in the Asset Purchase Agreement) solely toward the payment and discharge of the Assumed Liabilities (as defined in the Asset Purchase Agreement). The $130,000 contribution is not to be used to pay any of Philipp’s advances to the Registrant or his accrued salary. Duratech funded this $130,000 capital contribution by wire transfer of $130,000 to the Registrant on the Closing Date. The Asset Purchase Agreement was approved by a majority of the Board of Directors, with Philipp abstaining, in accordance with Nevada Revised Statutes 78.140.

In addition, pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Share Exchange Agreement:

·  
On the Closing Date, the current officers of the Registrant resigned from such positions and Peter Van Hierden was appointed as Chief Executive Officer and Richard von Gnechten as Chief Financial Officer;
·  
On the Closing Date, Mark McDowell resigned from his position as director of the Registrant and Peter Van Hierden was appointed to fill the vacancy, Tony Philip resigned as a director of the Registrant effective following the expiration of the required ten (10) day transmittal notification to the stockholders under Regulation 14f-1 of the Securities Exchange Act, which notice was effected by the mailing of an Information Statement to shareholders, at which time Robert Lundgren was appointed as a director, and Richard von Gnechten remained as a director following closing;
·  
On the Closing Date, the Registrant paid and satisfied all of its “liabilities,” as such term is defined by U.S. GAAP as of the closing;
·  
As of the day after the Closing, the parties consummated the transactions contemplated by the Asset Purchase Agreement.
 
 
As of the date of the Share Exchange Agreement there were no material relationships between the Registrant or any of its affiliates and the Duratech Subsidiaries, or Duratech, other than in respect of the Share Exchange, except that Richard von Gnecthen is employed by Global Kingdom Finance Co., an affiliate of Duratech and he is also a member of the Board of Directors of the Registrant.

Accounting Treatment; Change of Control . The Share Exchange is being accounted for as a “reverse merger,” since the Duratech Shareholders own a majority of the outstanding shares of the Registrant’s common stock immediately following the Share Exchange and Asset Purchase. Duratech is deemed to be the acquirer in the reverse merger. Consequently, the assets and liabilities and the historical operations that are reflected in the financial statements prior to the Share Exchange are those of Duratech and are recorded at the historical cost basis of Duratech, and the consolidated financial statements after completion of the Share Exchange include the assets and liabilities of the Registrant and Duratech, historical operations of Duratech, and operations of the Registrant from the closing date of the Share Exchange. Except as described in the previous paragraphs, no arrangements or understandings exist among present or former controlling stockholders with respect to the election of members of the Company’s board of directors and, to our knowledge, no other arrangements exist that might result in a change of control of the Company. Further, as a result of the issuance of the shares of the Registrant’s common stock pursuant to the Share Exchange, a change in control of the Company occurred on the date of consummation of the Share Exchange and Asset Purchase. The Registrant will continue to be a “smaller reporting company,” as defined under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), following the Share Exchange and Asset Purchase.

The foregoing description of the Share Exchange Agreement and the Asset Purchase Agreement do not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the complete text of the Share Exchange Agreement, which is filed as Exhibit 2.1 and the complete text of the Asset Purchase Agreement, which is filed as Exhibit 2.2 to a Form 8-K filed with the Commission on September 24, 2008, both of which are incorporated herein by reference.

EXECUTIVE OVERVIEW AND STRATEGY OF DURATECH GROUP INC.

UpSnap’s principle subsidiary, Duratech Group Inc. (“Duratech”), was founded as Duratech Contracting on December 18, 2002 as a small homebuilding company constructing about 5 homes a year until Peter Van Hierden (“Van Hierden”) bought out the majority partners and took control of the operations in July, 2007.  Shortly thereafter, Mr. Van Hierden identified a synergistic opportunity to acquire a modular oil camp factory which was also in distress and acquired the company in July, 2007.  Since that time management has been able to turn both these operations around and now seeks to grow the company organically and through additional acquisitions.  Duratech changed its name from Duratech Contracting to Duratech Group Inc. in August, 2008.

Duratech’s principle operations are building manufactured and stick-built homes and modular oil camps in Alberta and Saskatchewan, Canada which are experiencing very rapid growth primarily because of commodities such as oil, uranium and diverse mining.

On September 17, 2008, Duratech completed a reverse merger transaction with UpSnap, Inc. (“UpSnap”), a Nevada corporation that was formed on July 25, 2003.  In connection with the reverse merger, Duratech became a wholly-owned subsidiary of UpSnap, and the Duratech Shareholders acquired control of UpSnap.  The Registrant expects to change the company’s name from UpSnap Inc. to Duratech Group Inc. as soon as the filings can be completed.

SUMMARY OF OPERATIONS

Duratech manufactures and builds homes and modular sites for its marketplace, principally Alberta and Saskatchewan.  The Company has four principal products that it offers: First, the company builds on-site conventional homes; second, the company builds ready-to-move (RTM) homes in factories and brings them on foundations to sell to end users; third, the company builds modular camp sites for the oil mining industry; and fourth, the company buys and moves modular and manufactured homes from the United States where markets have been depressed and homes can be bought at discount prices.

STRATEGY FOR GROWTH

Duratech has two principal strategies for growth: 1) build construction for its existing marketplace and 2) expand through strategic acquisitions both in its existing market and the United States.

Build Existing Market:

In its existing marketplace, Duratech supplies the four principal products previously described. Given its competitive advantages in these product areas and the strong growth prospects within Alberta and Saskatchewan, the Company believes that it will be able to grow its four product lines within its existing marketplace.
 

Expand through Strategic Acquisitions:

In addition to expanding its existing operations in its existing market, Duratech fully expects to leverage its operational success and the experience of its Chairman, CEO and largest shareholder, Peter Van Hierden, to pursue attractive and strategic acquisition targets within its existing market and also in the United States where the real estate market offers many potential opportunities (principally businesses with revenues of $750,000 to $10 million and profits of $250,000 to $3 million).  Mr. Van Hierden has been an entrepreneur for 30 years and has successfully turned around (the profitability from a loss to a profit) six corporations in the past 15 years ranging in size from $1 to $30 million.

COMPANY MARKETS:

Duratech’s existing markets are Alberta and Saskatchewan, Canada, which have experienced tremendous growth. Alberta is a business friendly province with the lowest tax load of any province in Canada, including no provincial retail tax. Alberta has massive oil reserves with some estimates as high as 1.3 trillion barrels of oil. Canada has not suffered from the US subprime debacle in which homes were financed at high debt levels for buyers that could not afford them, because of its strong economy and government regulations which prevent homes to be mortgaged beyond 80% without having mortgage guarantees, thus foreclosures are rare.

PROPERTY

The company’s headquarters is located at #1 2930 9 th Avenue North, Lethbridge, Alberta, Canada T1H 5E4 and is comprised of 1,100 square feet of office space and 27,000 square feet of plant.

The Company also has a plant in Cardston, Alberta, Canada located at 855 2 nd Avenue E, which is comprised of 38,000 square feet and a Calgary, Alberta, Canada office located at 95 Sandringham Way NW, comprised of 1,000 square feet.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS FOR THE QUARTER AND NINE-MONTHS ENDED OCTOBER 31, 2008

Revenues . Revenues for the Quarter ended October 31, 2008 were $2.238 million and for the Nine-months $4,278,661 as compared to revenues for the fiscal year ended January 31, 2008 of $4.97 million. The increase in revenues is principally attributable to the growth in housing sales and the acquisition and growth of its Duratech Structures division.  The company has seen some moderation of housing sales as a result of the global economic slow-down and would expect future growth to come principally from acquisitions.
 

Gross Profit . The Gross profit for the Quarter and Nine-months ended October 31, 2008 were $861,520 and $1,420,739 respectively.  The Gross profit for the 2008 fiscal year ended January 31, 2008 was $858,572 and for the 2007 fiscal year of $579,617. The increase in gross profit is attributable to an increase in sales of the company as described above.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses . Selling, general and administrative expenses for the Quarter and Nine-months ended October 31, 2008 were $231,398 and $600,443 respectively.  Selling, general and administrative expenses for the 2008 fiscal year ended January 31, 2008 were $306,199 and for the 2007 fiscal year of $123,495.  The increase in the current year was principally due to transition costs associated with turning-around and expanding its core business and in acquiring and turning around the Duratech Structures division.

Payroll Expense . Payroll expenses for the Quarter and Nine-months ended October 31, 2008 were $528,454 and $1,201,732 respectively.  Payroll expense for the 2008 fiscal year ended January 31, 2008 were $489,321 and for the 2007 fiscal year expense of $349,145.  The increase was principally due to an increase in business operations at Duratech Contracting division and Duratech Structures division.  As a result of the moderation in housing sales due to the global economic slow-down, the Company has reduced its overhead to be more streamlined.

Other Expenses . Bad debt expense for the Quarter and Nine-months ended October 31, 2008 were insignificant.  Bad debt expense for the 2008 fiscal year ended January 31, 2008 was $3,746 and none for the same period in the prior year; Interest expense for the Quarter and Nine-months ended October 31, 2008 were $70,841 and $154,230 respectively.  Interest expense for the 2008 fiscal year ended January 31, 2008 was $139,175 and for the 2007 fiscal year $49,937.  The increase is due to larger borrowings associated with more houses under construction; and depreciation and amortization expense for 2008 was $21,598 compared to $9,742 for the 2007 fiscal year due to greater property plant and equipment associated with larger operations.

Net Other Income . Net other income for the Quarter and Nine-month ended October 31, 2008 was $2,851 and $3,806 respectively.  Net other income for the 2008 fiscal year ended January 31, 2008 was $2,600 compared to $6,551 for the 2007 fiscal year. The reason for the difference in the current year and prior fiscal year versus 2007 is the one-time gain on disposal of $6,234 that occurred in 2007.

Net Income . The Company had a net profit from continued operations of $33,361 for the Quarter ended October 31, 2008 and a net loss of $532,180 for the Nine-months ended October 31, 2008.  The Company had a net loss for the 2008 fiscal year ended January 31, 2008 of $98,867 and net income for the 2007 fiscal year of $53,849. The decrease for the Nine-months is attributable to the increase in selling, general and administrative expenses in 2008 and acquisition and turn-around costs. The results for the Quarter show that the company has made progress in generating profits from sales and gotten past the higher costs of the acquisition and turn-around.  While the Company does expect to continue generating profits from the production and sales of houses, it is uncertain what overall impact the global economic slow-down and reduction in oil prices will have on the Alberta and Saskatchewan markets.  The Company has reduced its overhead in anticipation that the slow-down will impact operating profits and the Company is seeking new acquisition opportunities that this same market may create.

Foreign Currency Gains/Losses . Because the Company operates in Alberta and Saskatchewan, Canada, the company does incur foreign currency gains/losses for US GAAP reporting purposes. The Company incurred a gain on currency conversion of $47,898 for the Nine-months ended October 31, 2008 and a loss of $2,684 for the Quarter ended October 31, 2008.  The Company had a loss $5,868 for the 2008 fiscal year ended January 31, 2008 and a loss of $2,103 for the 2007 fiscal year.  The Company cannot predict what will happen going forward with the exchange rate between the Canadian dollar and United States dollar.  Historically the exchange rate has been pretty close to 1; however, recently with the economic slow-down and reduction in oil prices, the exchange rate has gone down as low as 0.75 per US$.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

As of October 31, 2008 and January 31, 2008, cash and cash equivalents totaled $0. The net cash used in operations for the Nine-months ended October 31, 2008 was $464,547 which reflects the net loss of $484,282 and increase in inventories offset by an increase in Customer Deposits for existing projects and increase in payables and other accrued liabilities.  The net cash used in investing activities of $1,124,337 was mainly due to investments made by Company in the reverse-merge, acquisition of Duratech Structures (f/k/a Jobsite Structures), additions to property, plant and equipment and investments in its joint venture operation.  The Company financed these operating and investment uses through shareholder investments, private loans and long-term debt which provided $1,588,884 in financing for the Nine-months ended October 31, 2008.  The Company has good banking relations and friendly investors that thus far have been responsive to the company’s needs, but in light of the global economic slow-down the Company cannot guarantee that such funding will continue to be available going forward.
 

While the Company has a negative working capital as of October 31, 2008, the Company believes that it should not have any problem collecting its Accounts Receivable of $653,344 and Other Receivable of $130,476 and believes that over time it should be able to continue to sell its inventory of $2,765,026 to generate positive cash flow.  The Company’s Accounts Payable has increased as a result of the increase in projects and slow-down in the economy.  The Company does obtain Customer Deposits and collaterized loans on homes and modular projects as a means of ensuring cash flow for its production costs and the Company has every reason to believe that such funding will be available going forward despite the economic slow-down, however, the Company cannot guarantee that such resources will always be available.  The Company continues to explore potential acquisition opportunities and also the potential to raise funds through a Private Placement Memorandum in conjunction with such activity.

Risks Related To Our Company

Our business has posted net operating losses, has limited operating history and will need capital to grow and finance its operations. For the investor, potential adverse effects of this include failure of the company to continue as a going concern. Our auditors have expressed substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.

From the inception of our operating subsidiary, Duratech Group Inc., until October 31, 2008, the Company has had accumulated net losses of $199,368. Our auditors have raised substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern due to accumulated losses from operations and net deficiency. Mr. Peter Van Hierden acquired the company in July, 2007 and then quickly acquired another struggling company the same month. While Mr. Van Hierden and management have consolidated both entities, made substantial improvements to turn-around operations and put the company on a growth path going forward, there is no guarantee that these operations will be successful and will not continue to incur losses. The Company has limited operating history and is essentially an early-stage operation. The Company will continue to be dependent on having access to working capital that will allow it to finance operations during its growth period. Continued net operating losses together with limited working capital make investing in our company a high-risk proposal. The adverse effects of a limited operating history include reduced management visibility into forward sales, marketing costs, customer acquisition and retention which could lead to missing targets for achievement of profitability.
 

A slowdown or other adverse developments in the Canadian economy may materially and adversely affect the Company’s customers, demand for the Company’s products and the Company’s business.

All of the Company’s operations are conducted in Canada and all of its revenue is generated from sales in Alberta and Saskatchewan, Canada. Although the Alberta and Saskatchewan economy has grown significantly in recent years, the Company cannot assure investors that such growth will continue. A slowdown in overall economic growth, an economic downturn or recession or other adverse economic developments in Canada could materially reduce the demand for our products and materially and adversely affect the Company’s business.

Our operating results could be affected by geographic concentration and declining housing demand.

As a participant in the homebuilding industry, we are subject to market forces beyond our control. These market forces include employment and employment growth, interest rates, land availability and development costs, apartment vacancy levels, and the health of the general economy. Unfavorable changes in any of the above factors or other issues could have an adverse affect on our sales and earnings.

Our results of operations can be adversely affected by labor shortages and the pricing and availability of raw materials.

The homebuilding industry has from time to time experienced labor shortages and other labor related issues. A number of factors may adversely affect the labor force available to us and our subcontractors in one or more of our markets including high employment levels, construction market conditions and government regulation which include laws and regulations related to workers’ health and safety, wage and hour practices and immigration. An overall labor shortage or a lack of skilled labor could cause significant increases in costs or delays in construction of homes which could have a material adverse effect upon our sales and profitability.

Our results of operations can be affected by the pricing and availability of raw materials. Although we attempt to increase the sales prices of our homes in response to higher materials costs, such increases typically lag behind the escalation of materials costs. Sudden increases in price and lack of availability of raw materials can be caused by natural disaster or other market forces, as has occurred in recent years. Although we have not experienced any production halts, severe or prolonged shortages of some of our most important building materials, which include wood and wood products, gypsum wallboard, steel, insulation, and other petroleum-based products, have occurred. There can be no assurance that sufficient supplies of these and other raw materials will continue to be available to us.

The loss of any of our executive officers could reduce our ability to execute our business strategy and could have a material adverse effect on our business and results of operations.

We are dependent to a significant extent upon the efforts of our executive officers, particularly Peter Van Hierden, our Chief Executive Officer, and Richard A. von Gnetchen, our Chief Financial Officer. The loss of the services of one or more of our executive officers could impair our ability to execute our business strategy and have a material adverse effect upon our business, financial condition and results of operations. We currently have no key man life insurance for our executive officers.

Peter Van Hierden, Chief Executive Officer and our majority shareholder, can cause us to take certain actions or preclude us from taking actions without the approval of the other shareholders and may have interests that could conflict with other shareholders.

Peter Van Hierden, our Chief Executive Officer, as of September 17, 2008, beneficially owns approximately 49.5% of the voting power of our common stock. As a result, Mr. Van Hierden has the ability to control the outcome of virtually all corporate actions, including the election of all directors, the approval of any merger, the commencement of bankruptcy proceedings and other significant corporate actions. His interest in exercising control over our business may conflict with the interests of other shareholders. This voting power might also discourage someone from acquiring us or from making a significant equity investment in us, even if we need the investment to meet our obligations and to operate our business.
 

Our success depends on our ability to acquire land suitable for residential homebuilding at reasonable prices.

The homebuilding industry is highly competitive for suitable land. The availability of finished and partially finished developed lots and undeveloped land for purchase that meet our criteria depends on a number of factors outside our control, including land availability in general, competition with other homebuilders and land buyers for desirable property, inflation in land prices, zoning, allowable housing density, and other regulatory requirements. Should suitable lots or land become less available, the number of homes we may be able to build and sell could be reduced, and the cost of land could be increased, perhaps substantially, which could adversely impact our results of operations.

Our long-term ability to build homes depends on our acquiring land suitable for residential building at reasonable prices in locations where we want to build. As competition for suitable land increases, and as available land is developed, the cost of acquiring suitable remaining land could rise, and the availability of suitable land at acceptable prices may decline. Any land shortages or any decrease in the supply of suitable land at reasonable prices could result in increased land costs. We may not be able to pass through to our customers any increased land costs, which could adversely impact our revenues, earnings, and margins.

Our future growth may require additional capital, which may not be available.

Our operations require significant amounts of cash. We may be required to seek additional capital, whether from sales of equity or debt or additional bank borrowings, for the future growth and development of our business. We can give no assurance as to the availability of such additional capital or, if available, whether it would be on terms acceptable to us. If we are not successful in obtaining sufficient capital, it could reduce our sales and may adversely affect our future growth and financial results.

We may not be successful in our effort to identify, complete or integrate acquisitions or to enter new markets through start-up operations, which could disrupt the activities of our current business, adversely affect our results of operations and future growth or cause losses.

A principal component of our business strategy is to continue to grow profitably, including, when appropriate, by acquiring other homebuilders or related businesses that will streamline our operations. We may not be successful in implementing our acquisition strategy, and growth may not continue at historical levels or at all. When acquiring another company, we may have difficulty assimilating the operations of acquired businesses, incur unanticipated liabilities or expenses, and our management’s attention may be diverted from our current business. The acquisition of other companies may also result in our entering markets in which we have limited or no experience. The failure to identify or complete business acquisitions, or successfully integrate the businesses we acquire, could adversely affect our results of operations and future growth. In addition, our acquisitions may not be as profitable as we anticipate or could even produce losses.

Furthermore, we may choose to enter new markets or expand operations in existing markets by starting new operations, rather than by acquiring an existing homebuilding company. If we choose to expand through start-up operations, we will not have the advantage of the experience and brand recognition of an established homebuilding company. As a result, we may incur substantial start-up costs in establishing our operations in new markets, and we may not be successful in taking operations from the start-up phase to profitability. If we are not successful in making start-up operations profitable, we may not be able to recover our investment and may incur losses.

Risks Related to the Housing Industry

The manufactured, modular and ready-to-move housing industry is highly competitive.

The manufactured, modular and ready-to-move housing industry is highly competitive at both the manufacturing and retail levels, with competition based upon several factors, including price, product features, reputation for service and quality, depth of field inventory, promotion, merchandising and the terms of retail customer financing. We compete with other retailers of manufactured homes, as well as companies offering for sale homes repossessed from wholesalers or consumers. In addition, manufactured homes compete with other forms of housing, such as new and existing site-built homes, apartments, condominiums and townhouses. The inability to effectively compete in this environment could result in lower sales, operating results and cash flows.

Cost and availability of raw materials is subject to fluctuation.

Prices and availability of raw materials used to manufacture the Company’s products can change significantly due to fluctuations in supply and demand. The Company has historically been able to have an adequate supply of raw materials by maintaining good relations with its vendors. In addition, increased prices have historically been passed on to customers by raising the price of manufactured homes. There is no certainty that the Company will be able to pass on future price increases and maintain adequate supply of raw materials. The inability to raise the price of its products and to maintain a proper supply of materials could have a negative impact on sales, operating results and cash flows.
 

Availability and cost of financing for our retail customers, particularly in our manufactured housing business, could constrain our sales.

Retail buyers of our products generally secure financing from independent lenders, which, in the case of manufactured housing, have been negatively affected by adverse loan experience. Reduced availability of such financing and higher interest rates have had, and continue to have, an adverse effect on the manufactured housing business and our housing sales. If this financing were to become unavailable or were to be further restricted, our results of operations would suffer. Availability of financing depends on the lending practices of financial institutions, financial markets, governmental policies, and economic conditions, all of which are largely beyond our control.

Downward changes in general economic, real estate construction, or other business conditions could adversely affect our business or our financial results.

The residential homebuilding industry is sensitive to changes in economic conditions and other factors, such as the level of employment, consumer confidence, consumer income, availability of financing, and interest rate levels. Adverse changes in any of these conditions generally, or in the markets where we operate, could decrease demand and pricing for new homes in these areas or result in customer cancellations of pending contracts, which could adversely affect the number of home deliveries we make or reduce the prices we can charge for homes, either of which could result in a decrease in our revenues and earnings and would adversely affect our financial condition.

Future increases in interest rates, reductions in mortgage availability, or increases in the effective costs of owning a home could prevent potential customers from buying our homes and adversely affect our business and financial results.

Increases in interest rates or decreases in availability of mortgage financing could reduce the market for new homes. Potential homebuyers may be less willing or able to pay the increased monthly costs or to obtain mortgage financing that exposes them to interest rate changes. Lenders may increase the qualifications needed for mortgages or adjust their terms to address any increased credit risk. Even if potential customers do not need financing, changes in interest rates and mortgage availability could make it harder for them to sell their current homes to potential buyers who need financing. These factors could adversely affect the sales or pricing of our homes.

A.   Manufactured, Modular and Ready-To-Move Housing

The cyclical and seasonal nature of the manufactured housing industry causes our revenues and operating results to fluctuate, and we expect this cyclicality and seasonality to continue in the future.

The manufactured housing industry is highly cyclical and seasonal and is influenced by many national and regional economic and demographic factors, including:

 
the availability of consumer financing for homebuyers;
     
 
the availability of wholesale financing for retailers;
     
 
seasonality of demand;
     
 
consumer confidence;
     
 
interest rates;
     
 
demographic and employment trends;
     
 
income levels;
     
 
housing demand;
     
 
general economic conditions, including inflation and recessions; and
     
 
the availability of suitable homesites.
 
 
As a result of the foregoing economic, demographic and other factors, our revenues and operating results fluctuate, and we expect them to continue to fluctuate in the future. Moreover, we may experience operating losses during cyclical downturns in the manufactured housing market.

The manufactured, modular and ready-to-move housing industry is highly competitive, and competition may increase the adverse effects of industry conditions.

The manufactured, modular and ready-to-move housing industry is highly competitive. Competition at both the manufacturing and retail levels is based upon several factors, including price, product features, reputation for service and quality, merchandising, terms of retailer promotional programs and the terms of retail customer financing. Numerous companies produce manufactured homes in our markets. In addition, our homes compete with repossessed homes that are offered for sale in our markets. A number of our manufacturing competitors also have their own retail distribution systems and consumer finance and insurance operations. The ability to offer consumer finance and insurance products may provide some competitors with an advantage. In addition, there are many independent manufactured housing retail locations in most areas where we have retail operations. We believe that where wholesale floor plan financing is available, it is relatively easy for new retailers to enter into our markets as competitors. In addition, our products compete with other forms of low to moderate-cost housing, including new and existing site-built homes, apartments, townhouses and condominiums. If we are unable to compete effectively in this environment, our retail sales and wholesale shipments could be reduced. As a result, our growth could be limited.

Changing consumer preferences can affect sales, operating results and cash flows.

Changes in consumer preferences for manufactured, modular and ready-to-move housing occur over time, and consequently the Company responds to changing demand by evaluating the market acceptability of its products. Delays in responding to changing consumer preferences could have an adverse effect on sales, operating results and cash flows.

B.  Site-Built Housing

We may not be able to acquire suitable land at reasonable prices, which could result in cost increases we are unable to recover and reduce our total earned revenues and earnings.

We have experienced an increase in competition for available land and developed homesites in some of our markets as a result of a reduced availability of suitable parcels of land and developed homesites in these markets. Our ability to continue our homebuilding activities over the long-term depends upon our ability to locate and acquire suitable parcels of land or developed homesites to support our homebuilding operations. As competition for land increases, the cost of acquiring it may rise and the availability of suitable parcels at acceptable prices may decline. If we are unable to acquire suitable land or developed homesites at reasonable prices, it could limit our ability to develop new communities or result in increased land costs that we may not be able to pass through to our customers. Consequently, this competition could reduce the number of homes we sell or our profit margins and lead to a decrease in our total earned revenues and earnings.

Shortages of labor or materials and increases in the price of materials can harm our business by delaying construction, increasing costs, or both.

We and the homebuilding industry from time to time have experienced significant difficulties with respect to:
 
shortages of qualified trades people and other labor;
   
shortages of materials; and
   
increases in the cost of certain materials, including lumber, drywall and cement, which are significant components of home construction costs.

These difficulties can cause unexpected short-term increases in construction costs and cause construction delays for us. We will not be able to recover unexpected increases in construction costs by raising our home prices because, typically, the price of each home is established at the time a customer executes a home sale contract. Furthermore, sustained increases in construction costs may, over time, erode our profit margins. We may be able to offset sustained increases in construction costs with increases in the prices of our homes and through operating efficiencies. However, in the future, pricing competition may restrict our ability to pass on any additional costs, and we may not be able to achieve sufficient operating efficiencies to maintain our current profit margins.
 

Adverse weather conditions may increase costs, cause project delays and reduce consumer demand for housing, all of which would adversely affect the Company’s results of operations and prospects.

As a homebuilder, the Company is subject to numerous risks, many of which are beyond management’s control, including: adverse weather conditions, such as extended periods of rain, snow or cold temperatures and natural disasters, which could damage projects, cause delays in completion of projects, or reduce consumer demand for housing; and shortages in labor or materials, which could delay project completion and cause increases in the prices for labor or materials, thereby affecting the Company’s sales and profitability.

There are some risks of loss for which the Company may be unable to purchase insurance coverage. A sizeable uninsured loss could adversely affect the Company’s business, results of operations and financial condition.

Risks Related to Doing Business in the Canada

Inflation in Canada could negatively affect our profitability and growth.

While the economy in Alberta and Saskatchewan has experienced rapid growth, such growth has been uneven among other provinces and various sectors of the economy and in different geographical areas of the country.  Rapid economic growth can lead to growth in the money supply and rising inflation. If prices for the Company’s products rise at a rate that is insufficient to compensate for the rise in the costs of supplies, it may have an adverse effect on profitability.

The fluctuation of the Canadian dollar may materially and adversely affect investments in the Company.

The value of the Canadian dollar against the U.S. dollar and other currencies may fluctuate and is affected by, among other things, changes in the Canada’s political and economic conditions. As the Company relies principally on revenues earned in Canada, any significant revaluation of Canadian dollar may materially and adversely affect the Company’s cash flows, revenues and financial condition. For example, to the extent that the Company needs to convert U.S. dollars it receives from an offering of its securities into Canadian dollars for the Company’s operations, appreciation of the Canadian dollar against the U.S. dollar could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, financial condition and results of operations. Conversely, if the Company decides to convert its Canadian dollars into U.S. dollars for the purpose of making payments for dividends on its common stock or for other business purposes and the U.S. dollar appreciates against the Canadian dollar, the U.S. dollar equivalent of the Canadian dollar that the Company converts would be reduced. In addition, the depreciation of significant U.S. dollar denominated assets could result in a charge to the Company’s income statement and a reduction in the value of these assets.

The effect of changes in international, national and local economic and market conditions as a result of global developments

Beyond the risks of doing business in Canada or the United States, there is also the potential impact of changes in the international, national and local economic and market conditions as a result of global developments, including the effects of global financial crisis, effects of terrorist acts and war on terrorism, US and Canadian presence in Iraq and Afghanistan, potential conflict or crisis in North Korea or Middle East and potential avian flu pandemic or related illnesses, negatively affecting local homebuilding industry and adversely affecting new home installation market.

Risks Relating to the Share Exchange

The Company’s Chief Executive Officer, Peter Van Hierden, beneficially owns 49.5% of the Company’s outstanding common stock, which gives him control over certain major decisions on which the Company’s stockholders may vote, which may discourage an acquisition of the Company.

As a result of the Share Exchange, most of management of the Company do not beneficially own any of the Company’s outstanding common stock at this point in time, and one of the Company’s officers and directors beneficially owns 49.5% of the Company’s outstanding shares. The interests of this director may differ from the interests of other stockholders. As a result, this officer and director will have the right and ability to control virtually all corporate actions requiring stockholder approval, irrespective of how the Company’s other stockholders may vote, including the following actions:

·  
Electing or defeating the election of directors;

·  
Amending or preventing amendment of the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation or By-laws;

·  
Effecting or preventing a merger, sale of assets or other corporate transaction; and

·  
Controlling the outcome of any other matter submitted to the stockholders for vote.
 
 
The Company’s stock ownership profile may discourage a potential acquirer from seeking to acquire shares of the Company’s common stock or otherwise attempting to obtain control of the Company, which in turn could reduce the Company’s stock price or prevent the Company’s stockholders from realizing a premium over the Company’s stock price .

As a result of the Share Exchange, Duratech has become a wholly-owned subsidiary of a company that is subject to the reporting requirements of U.S. federal securities laws, which can be expensive.

As a result of the Share Exchange, Duratech has become an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of a company that is a public reporting company and, accordingly, is subject to the information and reporting requirements of the Exchange Act and other federal securities laws, including compliance with the Sarbanes-Oxley Act. The costs of preparing and filing annual and quarterly reports, proxy statements and other information with the SEC (including reporting of the Share Exchange) and furnishing audited reports to stockholders will cause the Company’s expenses to be higher than they would be if Duratech had remained privately-held and did not consummate the Share Exchange.

In addition, it may be time consuming, difficult and costly for the Registrant to develop and implement the internal controls and reporting procedures required by the Sarbanes-Oxley Act.  The Registrant may need to hire additional financial reporting, internal controls and other finance personnel in order to develop and implement appropriate internal controls and reporting procedures. If the Registrant is unable to comply with the internal controls requirements of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, the Registrant may not be able to obtain the independent accountant certifications required by the Sarbanes-Oxley Act.

Public company compliance may make it more difficult to attract and retain officers and directors.

The Sarbanes-Oxley Act and new rules subsequently implemented by the SEC have required changes in corporate governance practices of public companies. As a public entity, the Registrant expects these new rules and regulations to increase compliance costs in 2008 and beyond and to make certain activities more time consuming and costly. As a public entity, the Registrant also expects that these new rules and regulations may make it more difficult and expensive for the Registrant to obtain director and officer liability insurance in the future and it may be required to accept reduced policy limits and coverage or incur substantially higher costs to obtain the same or similar coverage. As a result, it may be more difficult for the Registrant to attract and retain qualified persons to serve as directors or as executive officers.

Because Duratech became public by means of a share exchange, the Company may not be able to attract the attention of major brokerage firms.

There may be risks associated with Duratech becoming public through a share exchange. Specifically, securities analysts of major brokerage firms may not provide coverage of the company since there is no incentive to brokerage firms to recommend the purchase of the company’s common stock. No assurance can be given that brokerage firms will, in the future, want to conduct any secondary offerings on behalf of the company.

Risks Relating to the Common Stock

Volatility of our stock price is a risk to investors.

The price of our common stock may fluctuate widely, depending upon a number of factors, many of which are beyond our control. These factors include the perceived prospects of our business and the manufactured housing industry as a whole; differences between our actual financial and operating results and those expected by investors and analysts; changes in analysts’ recommendations or projections; changes affecting the availability of financing in the wholesale and consumer lending markets; actions or announcements by competitors; changes in the regulatory environment in which we operate; and changes in general economic or market conditions. In addition, stock markets generally experience significant price and volume volatility from time to time which may adversely affect the market price of our common stock for reasons unrelated to our performance.

The Company’s stock price may be volatile.

The market price of the Company’s common stock is likely to be highly volatile and could fluctuate widely in price in response to various factors, many of which are beyond the Company’s control, including the following:

Additions or departures of key personnel;
   
Limited “public float” following the Share Exchange, in the hands of a small number of persons whose sales or lack of sales could result in positive or negative pricing pressure on the market price for the common stock;
 
 
Sales of the common stock;
   
The Company’s ability to execute its business plan;
   
Operating results that fall below expectations;
   
Loss of any strategic relationship;
   
Industry developments;
   
Economic and other external factors; and
   
Period-to-period fluctuations in the Company’s financial results.

In addition, the securities markets have from time to time experienced significant price and volume fluctuations that are unrelated to the operating performance of particular companies. These market fluctuations may also materially and adversely affect the market price of the Company’s common stock.

There is currently no liquid trading market for the Company’s common stock and the Company cannot ensure that one will ever develop or be sustained.

There is currently no liquid trading market for the Company’s common stock. The Company cannot predict how liquid the market for the Company’s common stock might become. The Company’s common stock is currently approved for quotation on the OTC Bulletin Board trading under the symbol UPSN. The Company currently does not satisfy the initial listing standards, and cannot ensure that it will be able to satisfy such listing standards on a higher exchange, or that its common stock will be accepted for listing on any such exchange. Should the Company fail to satisfy the initial listing standards of such exchanges, or its common stock be otherwise rejected for listing and remain on the OTC Bulletin Board or be suspended from the OTC Bulletin Board, the trading price of the Company’s common stock could suffer, the trading market for the Company’s common stock may be less liquid and the Company’s common stock price may be subject to increased volatility.

The Company’s common stock may be deemed a “penny stock”, which would make it more difficult for investors to sell their shares.

The Company’s common stock may be subject to the “penny stock” rules adopted under section 15(g) of the Exchange Act. The penny stock rules apply to companies whose common stock is not listed on the NASDAQ Stock Market or other national securities exchange and trades at less than $5.00 per share or that have tangible net worth of less than $5,000,000 ($2,000,000 if the company has been operating for three or more years). These rules require, among other things, that brokers who trade penny stock to persons other than “established customers” complete certain documentation, make suitability inquiries of investors and provide investors with certain information concerning trading in the security, including a risk disclosure document and quote information under certain circumstances. Many brokers have decided not to trade penny stocks because of the requirements of the penny stock rules and, as a result, the number of broker-dealers willing to act as market makers in such securities is limited. If the Company remains subject to the penny stock rules for any significant period, it could have an adverse effect on the market, if any, for the Company’s securities. If the Company’s securities are subject to the penny stock rules, investors will find it more difficult to dispose of the Company’s securities.

Furthermore, for companies whose securities are quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board, it is more difficult (1) to obtain accurate quotations, (2) to obtain coverage for significant news events because major wire services generally do not publish press releases about such companies, and (3) to obtain needed capital.

Offers or availability for sale of a substantial number of shares of the Company’s common stock may cause the price of the Company’s common stock to decline.

If the Company’s stockholders sell substantial amounts of common stock in the public market, or upon the expiration of any statutory holding period, under Rule 144, it could create a circumstance commonly referred to as an “overhang” and in anticipation of which the market price of the Company’s common stock could fall. The existence of an overhang, whether or not sales have occurred or are occurring, also could make more difficult the Company’s ability to raise additional financing through the sale of equity or equity-related securities in the future at a time and price that the Company deems reasonable or appropriate. Additional shares of common stock will be freely tradable upon the earlier of: (i) effectiveness of the registration statement the Company is required to file; and (ii) the date on which such shares may be sold without registration pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act.
 

Provisions of the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation and Nevada law could deter a change of control, which could discourage or delay offers to acquire the Company.

Provisions of the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation and Nevada law may make it more difficult for someone to acquire control of the Company or for the Company’s stockholders to remove existing management, and might discourage a third party from offering to acquire the Company, even if a change in control or in management would be beneficial to stockholders.

Volatility in the Company’s common stock price may subject the Company to securities litigation.

The market for the Company’s common stock is characterized by significant price volatility when compared to seasoned issuers, and the Company expects that its share price will continue to be more volatile than a seasoned issuer for the indefinite future. In the past, plaintiffs have often initiated securities class action litigation against a company following periods of volatility in the market price of its securities. The Company may, in the future, be the target of similar litigation. Securities litigation could result in substantial costs and liabilities and could divert management’s attention and resources.

The elimination of monetary liability against the Company’s directors, officers and employees under the Company’s Articles of Incorporation and Nevada  law, and the existence of indemnification rights to the Company’s directors, officers and employees may result in substantial expenditures by the Company and may discourage lawsuits against the Company’s directors, officers and employees.

Article XI of the Registrant’s Articles of Incorporation provides that the Company shall indemnify all directors, officers, employees, and agents to the fullest extent permitted by Nevada law as provided within NRS 78.7502 and NRS 78.751 or any other law then in effect or as it may hereafter be amended. Further Article XI provides that the Company shall indemnify each present and future director, officer, employee or agent of the Company who becomes a party or is threatened to be made a party to any suit or proceeding, whether pending, completed or merely threatened, and whether said suit or proceeding is civil, criminal, administrative, investigative, or otherwise, except an action by or in the right of the Company, by reason of the fact that he is or was a director, officer, employee, or agent of the Company, or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director, officer, employee, or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, or other enterprise, against expenses, including, but not limited to, attorneys' fees, judgments, fines, and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by him in connection with the action, suit, proceeding or settlement, provided such person acted in good faith and in a manner which he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interest of the Company, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe his conduct was unlawful.

The foregoing indemnification obligations could result in the Company incurring substantial expenditures to cover the cost of settlement or damage awards against directors and officers, which the Company may be unable to recoup.  These provisions and resultant costs may also discourage the Company from bringing a lawsuit against directors and officers for breaches of their fiduciary duties and may similarly discourage the filing of derivative litigation by the Company’s stockholders against the Company’s directors and officers even though such actions, if successful, might otherwise benefit the Company and its stockholders.

ITEM 3. CONTROLS AND PROCEDU RES

Quarterly Evaluation of Controls .  As of the end of the period covered by this quarterly report on Form 10-QSB, we evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures ("Disclosure Controls"), as defined  in Rules 13a -15(e) and 15d – 15(e) under the Exchange Act. This evaluation (“Evaluation”) was performed by our Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, Peter Van Hierden, and our Chief Financial Officer, Richard von Gnechten (“CFO”).  In addition, we have discussed these matters with our board.  In this section, we present the conclusions of our CEO and CFO as of the date of the Evaluation with respect to the effectiveness of our Disclosure Controls.

CEO and CFO Certifications .  Attached to this quarterly report, as Exhibits 31.1 and 31.2, are certain certifications of the CEO and CFO, which are required in accordance with the Exchange Act and the Commission's rules implementing such section (the "Rule 13a-14(a)/15d–14(a) Certifications"). This section of the quarterly report contains the information concerning the Evaluation referred to in the Rule 13a-14(a)/15d–14(a) Certifications. This information should be read in conjunction with the Rule 13a-14(a)/15d–14(a) Certifications for a more complete understanding of the topic presented.

Disclosure Controls . Disclosure Controls are procedures designed with the objective of ensuring that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed with the Commission under the Exchange Act, such as this quarterly report, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time period specified in the Commission's rules and forms. Disclosure Controls are also designed with the objective of ensuring that material information relating to us is made known to the CEO and the CFO by others, particularly during the period in which the applicable report is being prepared.
 

Scope of the Evaluation . The CEO and CFO's evaluation of our Disclosure Controls included a review of the controls' (i) objectives, (ii) design, (iii) implementation, and (iv) the effect of the controls on the information generated for use in this quarterly report. This type of evaluation is done on a quarterly basis so that the conclusions concerning the effectiveness of our controls can be reported in our quarterly reports on Form 10-QSB and annual reports on Form 10-KSB. The overall goals of these various evaluation activities are to monitor our Disclosure Controls, and to make modifications if and as necessary.  Our intent in this regard is that the Disclosure Controls will be maintained as dynamic systems that change (including improvements and corrections) as conditions warrant.

Conclusions.   Based upon the Evaluation, our Disclosure Controls and procedures are designed to provide reasonable assurance of achieving our objectives. Our CEO and CFO have concluded that our Disclosure Controls and procedures are effective at that reasonable assurance level to ensure that material information relating to the Company is made known to management, including the CEO and CFO, particularly during the period when our periodic reports are being prepared. Additionally, there has been no change in our internal controls, (as defined  in Rules 13a -15(f) and 15d – 15(f) under the Exchange Act), over financial reporting that occurred during our most recent fiscal quarter that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to affect, our internal controls over financial reporting.

However, any discussion or speculation on specific transactions is only conjecture until such time that a definite agreement is signed and announced in an SEC filing and press release.  It is possible no transactions will take place at all.
