are located at 2775 Fir Street, Suite 3E Vancouver BC, Canada

our telephone number is 604-731-2110


Our Business and Business Strategy


We are a development stage company and have not begun

revenue producing activities.  Our business plan is to further develop

and commercialize a software program that provides reservation and support services to the hospitality and tourism industries via the internet. We plan to market our software as a service to Hotel and motel chains as well as civic and regional tourism bureaus in the U.S. and Canada.  We plan to further develop our software program as an easy to use, functional, responsive and integrated program that focuses on the needs of these industries.  


Our plan is to earn revenue from the sale of our software product.


We acquired the prior development and prototype software of  

the of the Darrwin Software Program on May 18,2004 Our development plan

calls for completion of a web and test site. To complete our

plan we will need to hire additional staff and consultants and

invest in certain equipment.


We incurred a loss in the amount $8610.00 of for the period

from incorporation to June 30, 2004. At June 30, 2004 our

working capital was $48,690.00 .

                               3




                          RISK FACTORS


An investment in our common shares involves a high degree of risk and is subject to many uncertainties. These risks and uncertainties may adversely affect our business, operating results and financial condition. Our most significant risks and uncertainties are described below; however, they are not the only risks we face. If any of the following risks actually occur, our business, financial condition, or results or operations could be materially adversely affected, the trading of our common stock could decline, and you may lose all or part of your investment therein. You should acquire shares of our common stock only if you can afford to lose your entire investment. In order to attain an appreciation for these risks and uncertainties, you should read this prospectus in its entirety and consider all of the information and advisements contained in this prospectus, including the following risk factors and uncertainties.


We need additional financing and there is no assurance it can be

obtained, which will likely prevent us from ever becoming

profitable.


We currently have insufficient capital to meet our business

plan.  We cannot assure that we will be able to raise capital

or develop sufficient revenues.  In the absence of financing and

obtaining additional capital, it is doubtful that we will be able

to continue operations, which means that you will not be able to

recover your investment in our shares of common stock.


Any additional financing may significantly dilute your equity

interest in our stock.


We hope to raise additional financing in the future.  Even if

we are able to obtain capital, any financing will likely involve a

dilution of the interest of our stockholders upon the issuance of

additional shares of common stock and other securities.  Given our

weak economic state, the terms upon which capital May be available

could well involve substantial dilution to our stockholders, which

May reduce significantly the value of your investment in our

shares.


Because there is currently no market for our common stock,

investors may find it extremely difficult to resell their shares

and should not expect liquidity.


There is currently no market for our common stock.  We

anticipate applying for trading of our common stock on the OTC

Bulletin Board upon the effectiveness of this registration

statement of which this prospectus forms part.  We cannot assure

you  that our common stock will be traded on the bulletin board or,

if traded, that a market will materialize.  In the absence of a

public market for our common stock, an investment in our shares

would be considered illiquid.  Even if a public market is

established, it is unlikely a liquid market will develop.

Investors seeking liquidity in a security should not purchase our

common stock.



                                4


Because we have limited operating history, you may find it difficult to

evaluate our company.


We are presently in the process of further developing

our software program that will be required to complete our business plan.  

We have not yet earned any revenues and we will not be able to earn

any revenues until development of our Web and test sites are

complete.  Accordingly, we have no operating history from which

investors can evaluate our future business prospects or

management's performance.  As a result, you have no reliable means

to determine whether you should make an investment in our company.


Because of our financial condition and because we have not been

able to complete our business plan and develop revenues, our

financial statements disclose that there is substantial doubt as to

our ability to continue as a going concern.


As at June 30, 2004, we had $48,690.00 of working capital on

hand.  Our business plan calls for significant expenses in

connection with the further development of our software program and

completion of our web and test sites.  

In addition, we anticipate that revenues, if any, from operations will

not be realized until sometime after our web and test sites are complete. Because of our financial condition and these circumstances, our financial statements disclose there is substantial doubt as to our ability to continue as a going concern. It is not possible at this time to predict the outcome of these matters and whether we will ever become financially viable and develop revenues sufficient to achieve any level of profitability. As a result, investors who acquire our common shares must recognize that they May loose their entire investment.


If we are unable to sell a marketable product, our ability to

generate revenue would be limited.


Our web site and test site are currently in the development

stage. In order to commence sales, we will have to complete these

developments. We will also have to complete testing of both our web site and test site prior to commencing full commercial operations in order to ensure that the sites are functioning properly and is capable of being marketed to the public.  If we are unable to complete these developments, we will not be able to market our program or earn any revenues.


We rely on our President who does not devote his full business time

to our business.  If our President is not available, we may not be

able to implement our business plan and investors May loose their

entire investment.


We have only one director and we rely principally on Mr. Derek Ward our President for his entrepreneurial skills and experience and to implement our business plan. Presently Mr. Ward does not devote full time and attention to our affairs which could result in delays in implementing our business plan. Moreover, we do not have an employment agreement with any of our directors or officers including Mr. Ward. Accordingly, if Mr. Ward does not continue to manage our affairs, or devote sufficient amounts of his business time to enable us to implement our business plan, our business would likely fail and you may loose your entire investment.

                                     5



To date, we have not paid any cash dividends and no cash dividends will be paid in the foreseeable future.


We do not anticipate paying cash dividends on our common shares in the foreseeable future, and we cannot assure an investor that funds will be legally available to pay dividends or that even if the funds are legally available, that the dividends will be paid.


We face intensive competition within the Software application

industry and do not have sufficient resources to compete

effectively.


We face competition from a wide range of competitors in the

software application industry.  These companies include

large, well established and financially stronger companies several

of which are able to write and develop their own software in house.  

As we have indicated previously, we have only limited resources to

compete and may never have sufficient funds to be able to develop

our applications and market our product so that we may

become a factor in this industry.  These competitive disadvantages

represent another factor which may cause investors in our stock to

loose the value of their investment.


If we are not able to develop a customer base, we will have limited

prospects for generating revenues.


If we are not able to achieve a customer base, then we will

not be able to achieve revenues.  Establishing a base of customers

will require that we undertake marketing efforts that are

successful in bringing users to our web and test sites that will

purchase our software program.  If we are not successful in developing a

customer base as a result of our marketing efforts, then our

ability to generate revenue would be severely limited.


If our program contains programming errors or defects, it would

adversely affect our reputation and cause us to loose customers.


The development of our software program requires that we

undertake system integration and computer programming.  There is a

risk that the system integration and software programming that we

complete as part of the development process will contain errors and

defects including errors and defects in the system's security

subsystem that we will not be able to discover until we commence

operations.  Our software program may develop system errors or

defects or security failures that cause harm to our users data.

Problems experienced by users and loss of users data and business

processes will adversely impact our reputation and ability to earn

revenues, to retain existing customers or to develop new customers.



                                   6








If we are not able to adapt to rapid technology change and develop

new products, we May not be able to attract or retain customers and

we will be unable to stay in business.


We will be required to update and refine our software program,

web and test sites once we complete development in

order to address technological change. The market for software programs

such as ours is characterized by rapid technological changes, frequent

new product introductions and changes in consumer requirements.  We

may be unable to respond quickly or effectively to these developments,

as we may not have sufficient resources or money

required to develop or acquire new technologies or to introduce new

services capable of addressing these developments.  If we are

unable to update and refine our technology and services once

development is complete in response to technological change, then

we may not be able to attract or retain customers and we will not

be able to stay in business.


Because Derek Ward, our President controls approximately 52.71 % of our outstanding common stock, he will control and make corporate decisions and investors will have limited ability to affect corporate decisions.


Mr. Derek Ward and own and control approximately 52.71% of the

outstanding shares of our common stock.  Accordingly, he will have

almost complete influence in determining the outcome of all

corporate transactions and business decisions.  The interests of

Mr. Ward and may differ from the interests of the other

stockholders, and since they have the ability to control most

decisions through his control of our common stock, our investors

will have limited ability to affect decisions made by management.



We are subject to the certain anti-takeover provisions under Nevada law, which could discourage or prevent a potential takeover of our company that might otherwise result in you receiving a premium over the market price for your common shares.

As a Nevada corporation, we are subject to certain provisions of the Nevada General Corporation Law that anti-takeover effects and may inhibit a non-negotiated merger or other business combination. These provisions are intended to encourage any person interested in acquiring us to negotiate with, and to obtain the approval of, our Board of Directors in connection with such a transaction. However, certain of these provisions may discourage a future acquisition of us, including an acquisition in which the shareholders might otherwise receive a premium for their shares. As a result, shareholders who might desire to participate in such a transaction may not have the opportunity to do so.





                                   7






Because we are subject to the "penny stock" rules, the tradeability

of our common stock will be limited which may make it more

difficult for investors to sell their shares.


     We are subject to "penny stock" regulations and even if a

market for our common stock ever develops, unless the trading price

of our common stock is  $5.00 per share or more, then trading in

our common stock would be subject to the requirements of Rule 15g-9

under the Securities Exchange Act.  Under this rule, additional

sales practice requirements are imposed on broker-dealers who sell

such securities to persons other than established customers and

accredited investors (generally those with assets in excess of

$1,000,000 or annual income exceeding $200,000 or $300,000 together

with a spouse).  For transactions covered by these rules, the

broker-dealer must make a special suitability determination for the

purchase of such securities and have received the purchaser's

written consent to the transaction prior to the purchase.

Additionally, for any transaction involving a penny stock, unless

exempt, the rules require the delivery, prior to the transaction,

of a disclosure schedule prescribed by the Commission relating to

the penny stock market.  The broker-dealer also must disclose the

commissions payable to both the broker-dealer and the registered

representative and current quotations for the securities.  Finally,

monthly statements must be sent disclosing recent price information

on the limited market in penny stocks.  Consequently, the "penny

stock" rules may restrict the ability of broker-dealers to sell our

shares of common stock.  The market price of our shares would

likely suffer as a result.  A market in our common stock may never

develop due to these factors.


Risks associated with forward-looking statements.


This prospectus contains certain forward-looking statements regarding management's plans and objectives for future operations, including plans and objectives relating to our planned marketing efforts and future economic performance.  The forward-looking statements and associated risks set forth in this prospectus include or relate to:


Our ability to obtain a meaningful degree of consumer acceptance for

software programs now and in the future,

 

Our ability to market our software programs at competitive prices now and

in the future,

 

Our ability to maintain brand-name recognition for our software programs

now and in the future,

 

Our ability to maintain an effective distributors network,

Our success in forecasting demand for our software programs now and in

the future,

margins, and

The numbers in this table assume:

that none of the selling stockholders sells shares of common stock

not being offered in this prospectus or purchases additional shares

of common stock, and assumes that all shares offered are sold.  

The percentages are based on 4,386,662 shares of common stock

outstanding on the date hereof.


PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION


The selling shareholders will offer and sell their shares at

$0.015 per share until our shares are quoted on the OTC Bulletin

Board or a national securities exchange and thereafter at

prevailing market prices or privately negotiated prices.  The

initial offering is based on recent sales at $0.015 per share in May, June

and July 2004.  Our common stock is presently not traded on any market or

securities exchange, although a market maker has informed us of its

interest to file an application for us to become eligible for

quotation on the OTC Bulletin Board.

 

The selling shareholders may sell our common stock in the over-the-counter market, or on any securities exchange on which our common stock is or becomes listed

or traded, in negotiated transactions or otherwise, at market prices existing at the time of sale, at prices related to existing market prices, through Rule 144 transactions or at negotiated prices.


                                 14


Usual and customary or specifically negotiated brokerage

fees or commissions may be paid by the selling security holders in

connection with sales of securities.  The shares will not be sold

in an underwritten public offering.


The selling security holders may sell the securities in one or

more of the following methods:


- on the "pink sheets" or in the over-the-counter market or

on such exchanges on which our shares may be listed from time-to-

time;

                             

- in transactions other than on such exchanges or in the

over-the-counter market, or a combination of such transactions,

including sales through brokers, acting as principal or agent,

sales in privately negotiated transactions, or dispositions for

value by any selling security holder to its partners or members,

subject to rules relating to sales by affiliates; or


- through the issuance of securities by issuers other than

us, convertible into, exchangeable for, or payable in our shares.


In order to comply with the securities laws of certain states, if applicable, the shares may be sold only through registered or licensed brokers or dealers. In addition, in certain states, the shares may not be sold unless they have been registered or qualified for sale in the state or an exemption from the registration or qualification requirement is available and complied with.


Although not expected, if the selling stockholders enter into

an agreement after effectiveness, to sell their shares to a broker-

dealer as principal and the broker-dealer is acting as an

underwriter, then Empirical Ventures Inc. will file a post-effective

amendment to the registration statement, of which this prospectus

is a part, identifying the broker-dealer, providing the required

information on the plan of distribution and revising the disclosure

in the prospectus.  In addition we will also file such agreement as an

exhibit to the registration statement.


In making sales, brokers or dealers used by the selling

security holders may arrange for other brokers or dealers to

participate.  The selling security holders and others through whom

such securities are sold may be "underwriters" within the meaning

of the Securities Act for the securities offered, and any profits

realized or commission received may be considered underwriting

compensation.


At the time a particular offer of the securities is made by or

on behalf of a selling security holder, to the extent required, a

prospectus is to be delivered.  The prospectus will include the

number of shares of common stock being offered and the terms of the

offering, including the name or names of any underwriters, dealers

or agents, the purchase price paid by any underwriter for the

shares of common stock purchased from the selling security holder,

and any discounts, commissions or concessions allowed or re-allowed

or paid to dealers, and the proposed selling price to the public.


                                15

In the event that shares of selling security holders listed in this

prospectus are transferred to other persons and parties by way of

gift, devise, pledge or other testamentary transfer, we will file a

prospectus supplement to identify the new selling security holders.


We have told the selling security holders that the anti-

manipulative rules under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934,

including Regulation M, may apply to their sales in the market.

With certain exceptions, Regulation M precludes any selling

security holders, any affiliated purchasers and any broker-dealer

or other person who participates in the distribution from bidding

for or purchasing, or attempting to induce any person to bid for or

purchase any security which is the subject of the distribution

until the entire distribution is complete.  Regulation M also

prohibits any bids or purchase made in order to stabilize the price

of a security in connection with an at the market offering such as

this offering.  We have provided each of the selling security

holders with a copy of these rules.  We have also told the selling

security holders of the need for delivery of copies of this

prospectus in connection with any sale of securities that are

registered by this prospectus.  All of the foregoing may affect the

marketability of our common stock.


We are bearing all costs relating to the registration of the

common stock and will pay these costs from cash in priority to our

operating expenses.  The selling stockholders, however, will pay

any commissions or other fees payable to brokers or dealers in

connection with any sale of the common stock.


This offering will terminate on the date that all shares offered

by this Prospectus have been sold by the selling shareholders.


Penny Stock Rules


We are subject to "penny stock" regulations under Rule 15g-9

under the Securities Exchange Act.  If a market for our common

stock ever develops, we will remain subject to this rules unless

the trading price of our common stock is not less than $5.00 per

share. The penny stock rules require a broker-dealer, prior to

transaction in a penny stock not otherwise exempt from the rules,

to deliver a standardized risk disclosure document that provides

information about penny stocks and the nature and level of risks in

the penny stock market.


The broker-dealer must also provide the customer with current

bid and offer quotations for the penny stock, the compensation

of the broker-dealer and its salesperson in the transaction, and,

if the broker-dealer is the sole market maker, the broker-dealer

must disclose this fact and the broker-dealer's presumed control

over the market, and monthly account statements showing the market

value of each penny stock held in the customer's account. In addition,

broker-dealers who sell these securities to persons other than established customers and "accredited investors" must make a special written

determination that the penny stock is a suitable investment for the purchaser

and receive the purchaser's written agreement to the transaction.

                              

                                16

Under securities law, a person is considered a "beneficial owner" of a security if that person has or shares power to vote or direct the voting of such security or the power to dispose of such security. A person is also considered to be a beneficial owner of any securities of which the person has a right to acquire

beneficial ownership within 60 days.

 

Change of Control


There are currently no arrangements known to us, which will or

in the future could, result in a change of control.

DISCLOSURE OF COMMISSION POSITION OF INDEMNIFICATION FOR SECURITIES ACT LIABILITIES


Neither our Articles of Incorporation nor Bylaws prevent us from indemnifying our officers, directors and agents to the extent permitted under the Nevada Revised Statute ("NRS"). NRS Section 78.502, provides that a corporation shall indemnify any director, officer, employee or agent of a corporation against expenses, including attorneys’ fees, actually and reasonably incurred by him in connection with any the defense to the extent that a director, officer, employee or agent of a corporation has been successful on the merits or otherwise in defense of any action, suit or proceeding referred to Section 78.502(1) or 78.502(2), or in defense of any claim, issue or matter therein.


NRS 78.502(1) provides that a corporation may indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, except an action by or in the right of the corporation, by reason of the fact that he is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the


corporation, 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 attorneys’ fees, judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by him in connection with the action, suit or proceeding if he: (a) is not liable pursuant to NRS 78.138; or (b) acted in good faith and in a manner which he reasonably believed to be in 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 conduct was unlawful.


NRS Section 78.502(2) provides that a corporation may indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or


                                 20

completed action or suit by or in the right of the corporation to procure a judgment in its favor by reason of the fact that he is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation, 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 amounts paid in settlement and attorneys’ fees actually and reasonably incurred by him in connection with the defense or settlement of the action or suit if he: (a) is not liable pursuant to NRS 78.138; or (b) acted in good faith and in a manner which he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation. Indemnification may not be made for any claim, issue or matter as to which such a person has been adjudged by a court of competent jurisdiction, after exhaustion of all appeals there from, to be liable to the corporation or for amounts paid in settlement to the corporation, unless and only to the extent that the court in which the action or suit was brought or other court of competent jurisdiction determines upon application that in view of all the circumstances of the case, the person is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for such expenses as the court deems proper.


NRS Section 78.747, provides that except as otherwise provided by specific statute, no director or officer of a corporation is individually liable for a debt or liability of the corporation, unless the director or officer acts as the alter ego of the corporation. The question of whether a director or officer acts as the alter ego of a corporation must be determined by the court as a matter of law.


No pending material litigation or proceeding involving our directors, executive officers, employees or other agents as to which indemnification is being sought exists, and we are not aware of any pending or threatened material litigation that may result in claims for indemnification by any of our directors or executive officers.


Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers or persons controlling us pursuant to the foregoing provisions, we have been informed that, in the opinion of the SEC, such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is therefore unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, we will, unless in the opinion of our counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by us is against public policy as expressed hereby in the Securities Act and we will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.


ORGANIZATION WITHIN LAST FIVE YEARS


We were incorporated under the laws of the State of Nevada on

April 14, 2004, and are in the early developmental stage.

Effective May 18, 2004, we entered into an agreement to acquire

the prior development, existing designs and pilot implementation of a

Software program known as Darrwin from 3493734 Manitoba, Ltd. In consideration for a purchase price of $5,000.00 and 100,000 common shares of the company’s stock, $245,000 in further development expenditures and a royalty on our net revenues. Royalties are determined at the rate of 2% of net revenues until the amount paid or payable aggregates up to $250,000 and thereafter, at the rate of 1%.


                                  21  

Management believes that this royalty rate is favorable in relationship to the

software licensing fees normally paid in transactions of this sort.


We have not been involved in any bankruptcy, receivership or similar proceeding, nor have we been involved in any material reclassification, merger, consolidation, or purchase or sale of a significant amount of assets not in the ordinary course of business.


DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS


Business of Issuer


Our plan is to provide as our principal product, the “Darrwin” software Program and to commercialize this software program that provides the ability to make and secure reservations for hotels and various other services via the internet.  We plan to market our software in the U.S. and Canada.  We plan to further develop our software program as an easy to use, functional, responsive and integrated program that focuses on the needs of the tourism and hospitality industries, for which we would sell our program to them. We are currently in the development stage and are just engaging in business operations and have not begun revenue producing activities.  Our current objective is to complete further development of our product including the establishment of a viable commercial Product and to market it.


Current and Planned Development


On May 18, 2004, we entered into an agreement to acquire

the prior development, designs and pilot implementation of a

Software Program, known as Darrwin from 34937343 Manitoba Ltd.,

who developed the original design and implementation methodology

for the software program.


At the time of our acquisition the program was operational and

capable of booking hotel reservations on a Windows 2000 or Windows NT platform.        

 

We acquired the software program designs, methods and know-how

for the software program. We did not acquire any hardware and only acquired the existing software code for the existing program as well as any software code or scripts developed, so that further development and upgrades to the program can be done in a more efficient manner. Under the terms of our agreement, we paid 3493734 Manitoba Ld. $5,000.00 and 100,000 common shares of the company’s stock.


Since our acquisition in May 2004, management’s focus has been mainly on the

design and development of our web site and researching possible locations for our test site. We have mainly focused our limited resources on implementing

preliminary design of our web site.


Our activities have been principally conducted by our management and

are currently ongoing.


Our business plan can be summarized in two principal

categories as outlined below.  We estimate the development period

required to complete further development and upgrades for our software program would be six months to two years at an estimated cost of $245,000.  At

present we do not have sufficient funds to engage additional


                                   22

employees or contractors and to proceed with our development plan.

Continuation of development and ultimately the marketing of our

proposed product is conditional upon our obtaining additional

funding.  While we are able to proceed with continued

development and upgrades of our software program on a limited

basis without additional funding, we will need additional funding

in order to fully complete the further development and upgrades

of the Darrwin software program.  

                                

1.  Development of Web Site and Test Site


For marketing of our product, our plan includes the

development of a web site and web-based test site of our

for our software program.  Our web site will incorporate information

about ourselves and our product. The test site will allow potential

customers the ability to tryout the features and usability of our

software prior to purchasing.


We have not commenced development of these components.  We

plan to outsource the development of the web site to a firm with

expertise in designing web sites and have identified companies that

have the capability to complete this development.  We have identified the environment and method for developing the software test, and have identified companies or individuals that have the ability to complete such a software test site.


2.  Marketing of the Darrwin software program


Our objective will be to commence marketing upon completion of

development of the website and test site. Our marketing strategy

is proposed to be directed toward the located in the U.S. or Canada.

We plan to outsource the development of our marketing,

including the development of logos, art and design work for our

brochures and web site.  We also expect to outsource our marketing

functions for the launch of our software program and ongoing

marketing functions for the foreseeable future.  We believe an

independent marketing team, paid under a fair commission program

with channels for reporting customer contacts will provide the best

value and allow our management to concentrate on the further development of our product and managing the Company.


Intellectual Property


We currently plan to market our product as the “Empirical Ventures, Darrwin”. although we have not yet applied for such a registered trademark and there is no assurances that such mark would be available that we would be granted such mark.  We have obtained the right to use the Internet domain name

, www.darrwin-travel.com We do not have and cannot acquire any property rights in an Internet address.


To protect our rights to intellectual property, we will rely

on a combination of trademark, copyright law, trade secret

protection, and confidentially agreements.




                                   23

Competition


We will compete with numerous providers of online or Internet

accessible business applications and services companies, many of

which have far greater financial and other resources than we do.

Many of these companies have established histories and

relationships in providing online applications or systems that

enable them to attract talent, marketing support, the interest of

decision makers and financing.  Moreover, proven track records are

of paramount consideration in selecting vendors.


We plan to compete through the further development of our integrated,

and easy to use software .  We also plan to aggressively market the software program through successful marketers as well as through our own web site.


While our management has significant business experience,

we, as a company, have no proven track record in the online

services industry.  We can provide no assurance that we will be

able to successfully market a commercially viable product or

compete in this industry.


Government Regulations


Due to the increasing popularity and use of the Internet, it

is possible that a number of laws and regulations may be adopted

with respect to the Internet generally, covering issues such as

user privacy, pricing, and characteristics and quality of products

and services.  Similarly, the growth and development of the market

for Internet commerce may prompt calls for more stringent consumer

protection laws that may impose additional burdens on those

companies conducting business over the Internet.  The adoption of

any such laws or regulations may decrease the growth of commerce

over the Internet, increase our cost of doing business or otherwise

have a harmful effect on our business.


Currently, governmental regulations have not materially

restricted the use or expansion of the Internet. However, the legal

and regulatory environment that pertains to the Internet is

uncertain and may change. New and existing laws may cover issues

that include:


     *     Sales and other taxes;

     *     User privacy;

     *     Pricing controls;

     *     Characteristics and quality of products and services;

     *     Consumer protection;

     *     Cross-border commerce;

     *     Libel and defamation;

     *     Copyright, trademark and patent infringement; and

     *     Other claims based on the nature and content of Internet

           materials.


These new laws may impact our ability to develop and market

our Darrwin software system in accordance with our business plan.



                                  24


We may have to qualify to do business in other jurisdictions.

If we commence our Darrwin software business, we anticipate that our

sales and our customers will be in multiple states and provinces and potentially foreign countries.  As our customers may be resident in such states and foreign

countries, such jurisdictions may claim that we are required to

qualify to do business as a foreign company in each such state and

foreign country.  Failure to qualify as a foreign company in a

jurisdiction where required, could subject us to fines, penalties

or other prosecutions.


Research and Development Expenditures


We have not expended any money on research and development as yet.

We have however spent $5,000.00 on the acquisition of prior development costs and plan to expend in the next 24 month period the sum of $245,000 on expenses associated with the further development and continuing upgrades of our software program.


We expect to continue to develop our software program and

expect to devote a significant proportion of our revenues and

capital funds to developing enhancements to our software program

and maintaining our competitive positioning.


Environmental Regulations


We are not aware of any environmental laws that will be

applicable to the operation of our business.


Employees


We currently have no full-time employees, two part-time

employees.  Mr. Derek Ward, our President and Chief Executive Officer

is a part-time employee.  As prospects and circumstances warrant, we

will engage additional full-time and part-time employees, as well

as consultants, to perform required services.

                           

PLAN OF OPERATION


Current Operation Development


In furtherance of our business model:


On May 18, 2004, we acquired the, prior development and

pilot implementation of the Darrwin software program from

3493734 Manitoba Ltd. Corporation, a company controlled by Larry Cherrett.

                               

Since our acquisition of, prior development, pilot and designs,

we have continued to progress our development plan focusing on

web design and finding a suitable location to implement a test site.

Based on the current usability of the Darrwin software program has confirmed

development issues and the opportunity for improving our proposed product.  

We are planning upgrading our pilot software to incorporate new designs and to fully compatible with the Windows XP platform. Our objective with this upgrade are

to provide better segregation of our customers' data;


                                 25



to ensure privacy of our users activities; and to improve administration of user identities and system  permissions.  We will test the upgraded pilot to confirm it meets these objectives.


Our plan of operations for the twelve months following the

date of this registration statement is to complete the following

objectives within the time period specified, subject to our

obtaining funding for the further development and marketing of

our software program.


To accomplish our objectives, we will need to undertake

significant development work and will accordingly need to hire

additional employees, contractors and further, engage consultants

to enable us to undertake marketing.  Our plan is to hire such

employees and consultants directly. In addition, we plan to

employ or engage directly until such hiring or engagements are

completed and staff training is completed.  Progress in development

and the hiring of additional staff is conditional upon our

obtaining financing.


     The projected time to complete each of the elements of our

     plan of operations and its anticipated cost are discussed

     below:


1.  Complete Development of Web and Test Sites


We have commenced development of our web site and web-based

Test site. Provided funds are available, we anticipate

that this component could be completed in a period of less than 90

days.  

    

2.  Marketing


We plan to undertake the development of a logo and other art

and to develop a look and feel for our brochures and web site and

which we will incorporate into an advertising and marketing

campaign once the development of our test and web

sites are approaching completion. We anticipate that the marketing materials

and campaign would be designed by an outside marketing consulting

firm.


Employees and Consultants


We currently have no full-time employees, one part-time

employees, Mr. Derek Ward, our President and Chief Executive

Officer.  Our full-time and part-time employee and consulting positions are

not expected to exceed 4 persons in the near future, including

, a senior programmer/developer and a website designer/developer We will contract with other consultants for specialized development to the extent required.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS


Statements included in this Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, and in future filings by the Company with the Securities and Exchange Commission, in the Company's press releases and in oral statements made with the approval of an authorized executive officer which are not historical or current facts are "forward-looking statements" made pursuant to the safe harbor provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 and are subject to certain risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from historical earnings and those presently anticipated or projected. You are cautioned not to place undue reliance on any such forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date made.


The following important factors, among others, in some cases have affected and in the future could affect the Company's actual results and could cause the Company's actual financial performance to differ materially from that expressed in any forward-looking statement: (i) the extremely competitive conditions that currently exist in the market for companies similar to the Company and (ii) lack or resources to maintain the Company's good standing status and requisite filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The foregoing list should not be construed as exhaustive and the Company disclaims any obligation subsequently to revise any forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances after the date of such statements or to reflect the occurrence of anticipated or unanticipated events. The following discussion should be read in conjunction with our financial statements and their explanatory notes included as part of this prospectus.


Results of Operations


We have not begun revenue-producing activities.

Currently, we are not a party to any binding agreements that will generate

revenues. Due to our lack of revenue-production to date, and our

lack of contractual commitments to generate revenue, there is no

basis at this time for investors to make an informed determination

as to the prospects for our future success.  For similar reasons,

our auditors have included in their report covering our financial

statements for the period from incorporation to June 30, 2004,

that there is substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a

going concern.


For the period from incorporation April 14, 2004 through

June 30, 2004 we incurred a deficit of $8610.00. Through June 30, 2004,

we funded our operations through the sale of our equity securities.

In June 2004, we completed the sale of 3,819,992 shares of common stock for proceeds to us of $57,300.00. Additionally, we completed the sale of 566,670 share subsequent to June 30, 2004, the total proceeds received from this sale was $8,500. The sale of these shares was effected off-shore, pursuant to SEC rules, regulations and interpretations, including Regulation S.


The funds available to us currently are insufficient to carry

out our plan of operations and complete our further development of our software program and our web and test sites and, as we will be unable to generate revenues until such time as the development of our sites is completed, we will require additional financing in order to pursue our plan of operations and our business plan.


                                  27

As at June 30, 2004 we had current assets net of non-related

amounts payable of $62,225.00 which are sufficient to pay the

remaining costs of the offering estimated of $27,008.34, leaving

us with working capital of $21,681.66 to cover the costs of our

web and test sites and general working capital.


Our financial plan requires us to seek additional capital in

the private and/or public equity markets.  This additional capital

may be provided by the sale of equity or debt securities, or

through the issuance of debt instruments.  If we receive additional

funds through the issuance of equity securities, however, our

existing stockholders may experience significant dilution.


If we issue new securities, they may contain certain rights, preferences

or privileges that are senior to those of our common stock.

Moreover, we may not be successful in obtaining additional

financing when needed or on terms favorable to our stockholders.


As we have no commitments from any third parties to provide additional

equity or debt funding, we cannot provide any assurance that

we will be successful in attaining such additional funding.


Our current operations are budgeted at approximately $1,500.00

per month or a total of $18,000.00 over the next twelve month period.

In the absence of third-party funding, Where we determine that the

available funding is insufficient to maintain our current

operations, we will reduce our expenditures accordingly.


We expect our management, affiliates and current stockholders would support

this minimum budget over the next twelve month period.  Although

management has indicated a willingness to provide additional

financing for such limited operations, we have no written

commitments for funding and accordingly we can provide no assurances

that additional funding, as required, will be available to us

or be available to us upon acceptable terms.  If we receive no

additional funding, we will eventually have to cease operations.

It is our objective to carry out our plan and successfully market

our product. Based on our above mentioned budget, we will be able to operate

our business, which will allow us to seek proper funding. If we are unable to obtain additional funding to conduct our development program, it is not our plan to seek other business opportunities including acquiring or merging with a

private company unless such an acquisition or merger was with a

strategic business partner or business that strengthened and

furthered our business plan as outlined in this registration

statement.


We anticipate incurring continuing operating losses for the

foreseeable future.  We base this expectation, in part, on the fact

that we will incur substantial operating expenses in completing our

future development program and anticipate any revenues earned

Will assist in offsetting the costs of this future development, but

it is not likely cover these costs. Our future financial results are

also uncertain due to a number of factors, some of which are outside

our control.  These factors include, but are not limited to:


                                   28


(a) our ability to develop a commercially marketable software program

    with the features and functionality sought by our potential customers;


(b) our ability to successfully market our software program

    to potential customers;


(c) our ability to for use of our software program that will enable

    us to generate revenues that exceed our operating costs; and


(d) the introduction and availability of competing services.


     As a result of the material uncertainties discussed above

     regarding our financial position and our ability to carry out

     our business plan and market our proposed product, persons who

     cannot afford a complete loss of their investment should not

     purchase our securities.


     We believe the above discussion contains a number of

     forward-looking statements.  Our actual results and our actual

     plan of operations May differ materially from what is stated

     above.  Factors which May cause our actual results or our

     actual plan of operations to vary include, among other things,

     decisions of our board of directors not to pursue a specific

     course of action based on its reassessment of the facts or new

     facts, changes in the application hosting business or general

     economic conditions and those other factors identified in this

     prospectus.


DESCRIPTION OF PROPERTY


We do not own or lease any real property.  Our principal

executive offices are controlled by Mr. Derek Ward, our President

and a director.

             

CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS


Except as set forth below, there have been no material

transactions, series of similar transactions, currently proposed

transactions, or series of similar transactions, to which we are or

will be a party, in which any of our directors or executive officers,

than five percent of our common stock, any promoter, or any member

of the immediate family of any of the foregoing persons, had a

material interest.


Mr. Derek Ward May be considered a promoter within the

meaning of the federal securities Laws. At this time we have not formulated any corporate policies for entering into transactions with affiliated parties.


Members of our management team are not employed by us on a

full-time basis.  They are involved in other business activities

and may, in the future become involved in other businesses.  If a

specific business opportunity becomes available, such persons May

face a conflict in selecting between our business and their other

business interests.

                              29


We do not have and do not intend in the future to formulate

a policy for the resolution of such conflicts.  We currently have

no agreements with members of our management team.

We have not determined when an employment agreement would be

entered into with Derek Ward, our President however we have

determined to review entering into an agreement after a public

market for our common shares develops.

TERRY AMISANO LTD.

CHARTERED ACCOUNTANTS





REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM


To the Stockholders,

Empirical Ventures, Inc.

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of Empirical Ventures, Inc. (A Development Stage Company) and subsidiary as of June 30, 2004 and the related consolidated statement of operations, stockholders' equity and cash flows for the period April 14, 2004 (Date of Incorporation) to June 30, 2004.  These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management.  Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit.

We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States of America). Those standards require that we plan and perform an audit to obtain reasonable assurance whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement.  An audit includes examining on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, these consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Empirical Ventures, Inc. and subsidiary as of June 30, 2004 and the results of their operations and their cash flows for the period April 14, 2004 (Date of Incorporation) to June 30, 2004, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

The accompanying consolidated financial statements referred to above have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern.  As discussed in Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company is in the Development stage and has no established source of revenue and is dependent on its ability to raise capital from shareholders or other sources to sustain operations. These factors, along with other matters as set forth in Note 1, raise substantial doubt that the Company will be able to continue as a going concern.  The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

These consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis.  As at June 30, 2004, the Company has accumulated a deficit of $8,610 since inception.  Its ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon the ability of the Company to generate profitable operations in the future and/or to obtain the necessary financing to meet its obligations and repay its liabilities arising from normal business operations when they come due.  Management plans to continue to provide for its capital needs by issuing equity securities.  These financial statements do not include any adjustments to the amount and classification of assets and liabilities that may be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.


The Company was incorporated in the State of Nevada, United States of America on April 14, 2004.


Note 2

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies


The consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America.  Because a precise determination of many assets and liabilities is dependent upon future events, the preparation of financial statements for a period necessarily involves the use of estimates which have been made using careful judgement.  Actual results may vary from these estimates.


The consolidated financial statements have, in management’s opinion been properly prepared within reasonable limits of materiality and within the framework of the significant accounting policies summarized below:


Principles of Consolidation

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiary Empirical Ventures Ltd. (“EVL”), a Company incorporated under the Company Act of British Columbia on May 13, 2004.  All inter-company transactions have been eliminated.







Note 2

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies – (cont’d)


Development Stage Company

The Company complies with Financial Accounting Standards Board Statement (“FAS”) No. 7 and Securities and Exchange Commission Act Guide 7 for its characterization of the Company as Development stage.

Foreign Currency Translation

The Company’s functional currency is the Canadian dollar as substantantially all of the Company’s operations are in Canada.  The Company used the United States dollar as its reporting currency for consistency with registrants of the Securities and Exchange Commission and in accordance with the FAS No. 52 “Foreign Currency Translation”.

Assets and liabilities are denominated in a foreign currency are translated at the exchange rate in effect at the year end and capital accounts are translated at historical rates.  Income statement accounts are translated at the average rates of exchange prevailing during the period.  Translation adjustments from the use of different exchange rates from period to period are included in the Comprehensive Income account in Stockholder’s Equity, if applicable.

Transactions undertaken in currencies other than the functional currency of the entity are translated using the exchange rate in effect as of the transaction date.  Any exchange gains and losses are included in Other Items on the Statement of Operations.

Basic and Diluted Loss Per Share

In accordance with FAS No. 128, “Earnings Per Share’, the basic loss per common share is computed by dividing net loss available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding.  Diluted loss per common share is computed similar to basic loss per common share except that the denominator is increased to include the number of additional common shares that would have been outstanding if the potential common shares had been issued and if the additional common shares were dilutive.  At June 30, 2004, the Company had no stock equivalents that were anti dilutive and excluded in the loss per share computation.


Income Taxes

The Company uses the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes in accordance with FAS No. 109 “Accounting for Income Taxes”.  Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to temporary differences between the financial statements carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and loss carryforwards and their respective tax bases.  Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled.  






Note 2

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies – (cont’d)

Impairment of Long-lived Assets

Capital assets are reviewed for impairment in accordance with FAS No. 144, “Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-lived Assets”, which was adopted effective January 1, 2002.  Under FAS No. 144, these assets are tested for recoverability whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that their carrying amounts may not be recoverable.  An impairment charge is recognized for the amount, if any, which the carrying value of the asset exceeds the fair value.

Financial Instruments

The carrying value of the Company’s financial instruments consisting of cash and accounts payable and accrued liabilities approximate their fair value due to the short-term maturity of these instrument.  Unless otherwise noted, it is management’s opinion that the Company is not exposed to significant interest, currency or credit risks arising from these financial instruments.  

New Accounting Standards

Management does not believe that any recently issued, but not yet effective accounting standards if currently adopted could have a material effect on the accompanying consolidated financial statements.


Note 3

Technology Rights


By a Technology Purchase Agreement dated May 18, 2004, EVL acquired all rights to a proprietary software program marketed under the trade name “Darrwin” in consideration of $5,000 (paid subsequent to June 30, 2004) and 100,000 common shares of the Company.  A royalty of 2%, calculated on the net sales revenue, is payable up to a maximum of $250,000. Thereafter, the royalties shall be reduced to 1%. In addition, the Company will incur up to $245,000 for additional software development costs.  


Note 4

Deferred Tax Assets


The following table summarizes the significant components of the Company’s deferred tax assets:

Note 4

Deferred Tax Assets – (cont’d)


The amount taken into income as deferred tax assets must reflect that portion of the income tax loss carryforwards that is likely to be realized from future operations.  The Company has chosen to provide an allowance of 100% against all available income tax loss carryforwards, regardless of their time of expiry.


Note 5

Income Taxes


No provision for income taxes has been provided for in these consolidated financial statements due to the net loss.  At June 30, 2004 the Company has net operating loss carryforwards, which expire commencing in 2024, totalling approximately $8,610, the benefit of which has not been recorded in the consolidated financial statements.


Note 6

Related Party Transaction


During the period April 14, 2004, (Date of Incorporation) to June 30, 2004, the Company issued 5,000,000 shares of common stock for $5,000 to a director of the Company.


Note 7

Non-cash Transaction


Investing and financing activities that do not have an impact on current cash flows are excluded from the statement of cash flows.  During the period ended June 30, 2004, the Company issued 100,000 common shares at $0.015 per share pursuant to the acquisition of technology rights.  This transaction has been excluded from the statement of cash flows.


Note 8

Subsequent Events


i)

Subsequent to June 30, 2004, the Company received $8,500 pursuant to share subscription agreements to issue 566,620 common shares at $0.015 per share.


ii)

Subsequent to June 30, 2004, the Company has filed a registration statement on Form SB-2 with the Securities and Exchange Commission in the state of Nevada for the public distribution of 4,386,662 common shares by existing shareholders.  The Company will not receive any proceeds from the sale of the shares.

PART II


INFORMATION NOT REQUIRED IN THE PROSPECTUS


INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS


Neither our Articles of Incorporation nor Bylaws prevent us from indemnifying our officers, directors and agents to the extent permitted under the Nevada Revised Statute ("NRS"). NRS Section 78.502, provides that a corporation shall indemnify any director, officer, employee or agent of a corporation against expenses, including attorneys’ fees, actually and reasonably incurred by him in connection with any the defense to the extent that a director, officer, employee or agent of a corporation has been successful on the merits or otherwise in defense of any action, suit or proceeding referred to Section 78.502(1) or 78.502(2), or in defense of any claim, issue or matter therein.


NRS 78.502(1) provides that a corporation may indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, except an action by or in the right of the corporation, by reason of the fact that he is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation, 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 attorneys’ fees, judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by him in connection with the action, suit or proceeding if he: (a) is not liable pursuant to NRS 78.138; or (b) acted in good faith and in a manner which he reasonably believed to be in 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 conduct was unlawful.


NRS Section 78.502(2) provides that a corporation may indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action or suit by or in the right of the corporation to procure a judgment in its favor by reason of the fact that he is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation, 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 amounts paid in settlement and attorneys’ fees actually and reasonably incurred by him in connection with the defense or settlement of the action or suit if he: (a) is not liable pursuant to NRS 78.138; or (b) acted in good faith and in a manner which he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation. Indemnification may not be made for any claim, issue or matter as to which such a person has been adjudged by a court of competent jurisdiction, after exhaustion of all appeals there from, to be liable to the corporation or for amounts paid in settlement to the corporation, unless and only to the extent that the court in which the action or suit was brought or other court of competent jurisdiction determines upon application that in view of all the circumstances of the case, the person is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for such expenses as the court deems proper.




                                                                  


II-1


NRS Section 78.747, provides that except as otherwise provided by specific statute, no director or officer of a corporation is individually liable for a debt or liability of the corporation, unless the director or officer acts as the alter ego of the corporation. The question of whether a director or officer acts as the alter ego of a corporation must be determined by the court as a matter of law.

No pending material litigation or proceeding involving our directors, executive officers, employees or other agents as to which indemnification is being sought exists, and we are not aware of any pending or threatened material litigation that may result in claims for indemnification by any of our directors or executive officers.


Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers or persons controlling us pursuant to the foregoing provisions, we have been informed that, in the opinion of the SEC, such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is therefore unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, we will, unless in the opinion of our counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by us is against public policy as expressed hereby in the Securities Act and we will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

     The estimated costs of this offering are as follows:


         Securities and Exchange Commission

         registration fee                          8.34

                                II-2

            RECENT SALES OF UNREGISTERED SECURITIES


We issued 5,000,000 shares of common stock on May 7, 2004

to Mr. Derek Ward, at a price of $0.001 for proceeds of $5,000

We completed an offering of shares of our common stock at a price of 

$0.015 per share to a total of 30 purchasers on June 30, 2004.  The 

total amount received from this offering was $57,300. Additionally, we 

completed an offering subsequent to June 30, 2004 Which completed on July 

19, 2004 at a price of $0.015 to 7 Individuals the total amount received 

from this subsequent offering was $8,500. We completed the offering pursuant 

to Rule 903 of Regulation S (i.e., Category 3) of the Securities Act. Each

purchaser represented to us in the subscription agreement that he

was a non-U.S. person as defined in Regulation S.  We did not

engage in a distribution of this offering in the United States.

Each purchaser represented his intention to acquire the securities

for investment only and not with a view toward distribution.  Each

purchaser represented to us that he will resell such securities

only in accordance with the provisions of Regulation S which

prohibit sales to or for the benefit of a U.S. person, pursuant to

registration under the Act, or pursuant to an available exemption

from registration and agrees not to engage in hedging transactions

with regard to such securities unless in compliance with the Act.

Appropriate legends were affixed to the stock certificate issued to

each purchaser in accordance with Regulation S which, among other

things,  precludes transfers except as provided above.  Each

purchaser was given adequate access to sufficient information about

us to make an informed investment decision.  None of the securities

were sold through an underwriter and accordingly, there were no

underwriting discounts or commissions involved.  Each subscription

agreement precluded transfer except under the above conditions.  No

registration rights were granted to any of the purchasers.


We did not utilize an underwriter for any of the foregoing.

Other than the securities mentioned or referenced above, we have

not issued or sold any securities since..
