pledgees, donees or successors. These shares include 12,402,637 shares of common
stock issuable upon the exercise of up to 12,402,637 outstanding warrants (the
"Warrants"). An aggregate of 1,534,567 Warrants were issued in exchange for
1,534,567 warrants which were previously issued by our former wholly owned
subsidiary to investors in private placements which commenced in 2006; an
aggregate of 6,425,650 Warrants were issued between April 1, 2007 and June 10,
2008 for services and short term loans provided to us; an aggregate of 642,420
Warrants were issued between June 19, 2007 and April 10, 2008 to bridge loan
lenders; an aggregate of 250,000 Warrants were issued as part of an acquisition
by us on February 15, 2007; and an aggregate of 3,550,000 Warrants were issued

The resale of the shares is not being underwritten. The selling
security holders may sell or distribute the shares, from time to time, depending
on market conditions and other factors, through underwriters, dealers, brokers
or other agents, or directly to one or more purchasers. The offering price may
be the market price prevailing at the time of sale or a privately negotiated
price. We will not receive any proceeds from the sale of the shares by the
selling security holders. We are paying substantially all expenses incidental to
registration of the shares.

PROSPECTUS SUMMARY
THIS SUMMARY HIGHLIGHTS INFORMATION CONTAINED ELSEWHERE IN THIS
PROSPECTUS. THIS SUMMARY DOES NOT CONTAIN ALL OF THE INFORMATION YOU SHOULD
CONSIDER BEFORE INVESTING IN OUR COMMON STOCK. YOU SHOULD READ THE ENTIRE
PROSPECTUS CAREFULLY, ESPECIALLY THE "RISK FACTORS" SECTION AND OUR FINANCIAL
STATEMENTS AND THE RELATED NOTES APPEARING AT THE END OF THIS, BEFORE DECIDING
TO INVEST IN OUR COMMON STOCK."
OUR COMPANY
ESP, through its wholly owned subsidiary Environmental Safeguard
Professionals, Inc. ("Safeguard"), offers various inspection services for
addressing mold and moisture intrusion that can have an acute or chronic
negative impact on the indoor air quality of commercial and residential
buildings. ESP, through its wholly owned subsidiary National Professional
Services, Inc. ("NPS"), offers annual trade memberships and management services
for industry related associations.
Safeguard has developed a standardized training, certification,
inspection, and results reporting analysis program which forms the foundation of
a suite of services that together comprise our Certified Environmental Home
Inspector ("CEHI") program. This business unit provides annual
subscription-based moisture maintenance and energy use awareness programs to
both residential and commercial clients.
NPS is currently a conglomerate of seven individual associations and
maintains annual paying members. The focus of this business unit is to establish
cross-training on CEHI programs and to provide information concerning
residential environmental issues, to establish training for underwriters, loan
officers and appraisers, and to educate these groups about CEHI inspection
protocols. Training programs for insurance companies, underwriters, loss
control, and risk management personnel educate and emphasize the benefits of
using a CEHI on the initial inspection and then establishing annual inspections.

RISK FACTORS
ANY INVESTMENT IN OUR COMMON STOCK INVOLVES A HIGH DEGREE OF RISK. YOU
SHOULD CONSIDER CAREFULLY THE RISKS DESCRIBED BELOW, TOGETHER WITH ALL OF THE
OTHER INFORMATION CONTAINED IN THIS PROSPECTUS, BEFORE YOU DECIDE WHETHER TO
PURCHASE OUR COMMON STOCK. IF ANY OF THESE ACTUALLY OCCUR, OUR BUSINESS,
FINANCIAL CONDITION OR OPERATING RESULTS COULD BE ADVERSELY AFFECTED. THE RISKS
DESCRIBED BELOW ARE NOT THE ONLY ONES WE FACE. ADDITIONAL RISKS NOT CURRENTLY
KNOWN TO US OR THAT WE CURRENTLY DO NOT DEEM MATERIAL ALSO MAY BECOME IMPORTANT
FACTORS THAT MAY MATERIALLY AND ADVERSELY AFFECT OUR BUSINESS. THE TRADING PRICE
OF OUR COMMON STOCK COULD DECLINE DUE TO ANY OF THESE DESCRIBED OR ADDITIONAL
RISKS AND YOU COULD LOSE PART OR ALL OF YOUR INVESTMENT.
RISKS RELATED TO OUR BUSINESS
WE HAVE A LIMITED OPERATING HISTORY, WHICH COULD MAKE IT DIFFICULT TO ACCURATELY
EVALUATE OUR BUSINESS AND PROSPECTS.
We began offering our environmental inspection services as
Environmental Service Professionals, Inc. in October 2006 and our association
management services in July 2007. Accordingly, we have a limited operating
history and, as a result, we have limited financial data that you can use to
evaluate our business and prospects. Our business model is evolving and it may
not be successful. As a result of these factors, the future revenue and income
potential of our business is uncertain. Although we have experienced significant
revenue growth in recent periods, we may not be able to sustain this growth. Any
evaluation of our business and our prospects must be considered in light of
these factors and the risks and uncertainties often encountered by companies in
our state of development. Some of these risks and uncertainties relate to our
ability to do the following:
-4-
o Maintain and expand our current relationships, and develop new
relationships with state, federal and environmental regulatory bodies
o Gain the acceptance of the commercial and residential insurance
industry to a level where they will consider offering a discount to
their policyholders, if their customers/insured's receive an initial
inspection services and then participate in an annual inspection
program
o Maintain and expand our current relationships, and develop new
relationships with the industry stakeholders including insurance,
mortgage, and banking businesses, and realtors, builders, asset
managers and the consumer
o Continue to grow our revenue and meet anticipated growth targets
o Manage our expanding operations and implement and improve our
operational, financial, and management controls
o Respond effectively to competition
o Implement ESP's national marketing campaign
o Attract and retain qualified management and employees
o Attract the existing top tier home and moisture inspectors nationwide
and to become approved vendors as independent contractors in order to
deliver the CEHI Program of services
If we are unable to address these risks, our business, results of operation, and
prospects could suffer.
LACK OF PUBLIC ACCEPTANCE OF OUR SERVICES WOULD HAVE A NEGATIVE IMPACT OUR SALES
AND PROFITABILITY.
Our business is speculative and dependent upon the acceptance of our
services as an effective and reliable method to perform indoor air quality and
energy use inspections. Our business is also dependent on the effectiveness of
our marketing program to convince potential clients and potential independent
contractors to utilize our services so that we will become profitable. We cannot
assure that the public or industry stakeholders will accept our inspection
services, or that we will be successful or that our business will earn any
profit. We cannot assure that we will earn any revenues or that investors will
not lose their entire investment. We cannot assure that we will operate our
business successfully or that our common stock will have value. A failure of our
marketing campaign would have a material adverse impact on its operating
results, financial condition and business performance.
WE MAY RISK EXPOSURE FROM LIABILITY CLAIMS.
Environmental inspectors face the risk of exposure to liability claims
in the event that the use of analysis reports or reliance on inspection
protocols cause property damage, injury or illness as a result of contamination
from environmental hazards that were included in such analysis, inspection
protocols, or otherwise. We expect to maintain sufficient primary or excess
umbrella liability insurance. However, such insurance may not continue to be
available at a reasonable cost, or, if available, may not be adequate to cover
all liabilities. Although we intend to seek contractual indemnification and
insurance coverage from parties supplying its services, such indemnification or
insurance coverage is limited, as a practical matter, to the creditworthiness of
the indemnifying party and the insured limits of any insurance provided by
suppliers. If we do not have adequate insurance or contractual indemnification
available, product liability relating to defective products could materially
reduce our future net earnings and earnings per share.
WE MAY BE HARMED BY ACTIONS TAKEN BY OUR ENVIRONMENTAL INSPECTORS THAT ARE
OUTSIDE OUR CONTROL.
A significant portion of our environmental inspectors are independent
contractors and are not our employees. We provide training and support to the
environmental inspectors, but the quality of their operations may be diminished
by any number of factors beyond our control. Consequently, our environmental
inspectors may not successfully operate in a manner consistent with our
standards and requirements, or may not hire and train qualified personnel. Our
image and reputation, and the image and reputation of other environmental
inspectors, may suffer materially and system-wide sales could significantly
decline if our environmental inspectors do not operate successfully.
WE MAY BECOME RELIANT ON TECHNOLOGY FOR EFFICIENT OPERATIONS WHICH COULD
INCREASE OUR OPERATING COSTS IN THE SHORT TERM AND MAKE US VULNERABLE TO
DISRUPTIONS.
The need to synchronize data and the related information which is key
to our on-line work flow system. Global trends are moving toward developing and
adopting standardized protocols for data synchronization. The implementation of
these protocols will be an added expense encountered by us in executing our
business strategy. One of the greatest coordination challenges for us is having
inspectors utilize on-line work flow systems effectively to ensure efficient and
effective service to our clients and to capture the mission critical data post
inspection. The Internet is playing a growing role in creating an automated
communications network for presenting, tracking, and capturing this mission
critical information. We believe that we will need to develop a network to
enable the on-line work flow system on the Internet in order to operate
profitability which could increase our operating costs in the short term.
-5-
Our ability to reduce costs in the long term and increase profits, as
well as our ability to serve customers most effectively, may depend on the
reliability of our technology network. We expect to use software and other
technology systems to dispatch inspectors in the most efficient manner to
optimize the use of standardized inspection and analysis protocols and minimize
the time spent at each stop. Any disruption to these computer systems in the
future could adversely impact our customer service, decrease the volume of our
business, and result in increased costs. While we expect to invest in technology
security initiatives and disaster recovery plans, we recognize that these
measures cannot fully insulate us from technology disruption that could result
in adverse effects on operations and profits.
OUR BUSINESS STRATEGY, IN PART, DEPENDS UPON OUR ABILITY TO COMPLETE AND MANAGE
ACQUISITIONS OF OTHER COMPANIES.
Our primary strategy is to achieve growth through acquisitions of
businesses. We may not be able to make acquisitions in the future and any
acquisitions we do make may not be successful. Furthermore, future acquisitions
may have a material adverse effect upon our operating results, particularly in
periods immediately following the consummation of those transactions while the
operations of the acquired businesses are being integrated into our operations.
Achieving the benefits of acquisitions depends on the timely, efficient
and successful execution of a number of post-acquisition events, including
integrating the business of the acquired company into our operations, marketing
programs, and reporting and information systems. We may not be able to
successfully integrate the acquired company's operations or personnel, or
realize the anticipated benefits of the acquisition. Our ability to integrate
acquisitions may be adversely affected by many factors, including the relatively
large size of a business and the allocation of our limited management resources
among various integration efforts.
In connection with the acquisitions of businesses in the future, we may
decide to consolidate the operations of any acquired business with our existing
operations or make other changes with respect to the acquired business, which
could result in special charges or other expenses. Our results of operations
also may be adversely affected by expenses we incur in making acquisitions, by
amortization of acquisition-related intangible assets with definite lives and by
additional depreciation attributable to acquired assets. Any of the businesses
we acquire may also have liabilities or adverse operating issues, including some
that we fail to discover before the acquisition, and our indemnity for such
liabilities typically has been limited and may, with respect to future
acquisitions, also be limited.
Additionally, our ability to make any future acquisitions may depend
upon obtaining additional financing. We may not be able to obtain additional
financing on acceptable terms or at all. To the extent that we seek to acquire
other businesses in exchange for our common stock, fluctuations in our stock
price could have a material adverse effect on our ability to complete
acquisitions.
WE HAVE NO ASSURANCE THAT OUR PROPOSED ACQUISITIONS WILL BE COMPLETED.
Our business strategy, in part, is to expand our operations through
strategic acquisitions. We have not entered into any agreements, arrangements or
understandings to acquire any operating companies, and we cannot assure that any
acquisition will be completed for any number of reasons. These reasons include,
but are not limited to, our ability to obtain funding, complete the necessary
due diligence to our satisfaction, agree on all material terms of definitive
purchase agreements, obtain audited financial statements consistent with the
unaudited financial statements, or otherwise consummate the acquisition of any
or all of such entities.
WE MAY NOT BE ABLE TO MANAGE PROPOSED ACQUISITIONS AND ACHIEVE PROFITABILITY.
In the event that we are able to complete any acquisitions, such
acquisitions would present numerous challenges to us. These include, but are not
limited to, the integration of the acquired entities with our operations,
technologies and management and the attendant risks associated with such
acquisitions, including, but not limited to, possible unanticipated liabilities,
unanticipated costs, and diversion of management attention or loss of personnel.
We cannot assure you that we will successfully integrate or profitably
manage any acquired businesses, that our continued business will achieve sales
levels, profitability, efficiencies or synergies that justify the acquisitions,
or that the acquisitions will result in increased earnings for us in any future
period. Successful integration of our operations will depend on, among other
things, our ability to attract, hire and retain skilled management and other
personnel, none of which can be assured. To manage growth effectively, we will
need to invest in development of enhancements to existing services, implement
operational, financial and management information systems, procedures and
controls, and integrate our personnel and operations with those of an acquired
company. We cannot assure that we will be able to manage the combined operations
effectively, and failure to do so could have a material adverse effect on our
business, financial condition and/or operating results.
-6-
WE MAY BECOME SUBJECT TO UNDISCLOSED LIABILITIES AS A RESULT OF PROPOSED
ACQUISITIONS.
While we will conduct whatever due diligence we can with regard to all
acquisitions, there may be significant undisclosed liabilities associated with
an entity that might not be known to us prior to an acquisition. The indemnities
and warranties that we will receive in connection with the proposed acquisitions
might not fully cover such liabilities, in which case our operations may be
adversely affected.
WE MAY NOT BE ABLE TO SUCCESSFULLY COMPETE AGAINST COMPANIES WITH SUBSTANTIALLY
GREATER RESOURCES.
The indoor air quality testing industry is extremely competitive. Our
principal competitors include other indoor air quality testers, certified
industrial hygienists, home inspectors, termite inspectors, and remediation and
abatement companies. These competitors may have longer operating histories,
greater name recognition, larger installed customer bases, and substantially
greater financial and marketing resources than ESP. We believe that the
principal factors affecting competition in this proposed market include name
recognition, and the ability to receive referrals based on client confidence in
our services. There are no significant barriers of entry that could keep
potential competitors from opening similar indoor air quality testing
facilities. Our ability to compete successfully in the industry will depend in
large part upon our ability to market and sell our indoor air quality testing
services and to respond effectively to changing insurance industry standards and
methodology. We cannot assure that ESP will be able to compete successfully in
the indoor air quality testing industry, or that future competition will not
have a material adverse effect on our business, operating results, and financial
condition.
WE MAY FROM TIME TO TIME BE SUBJECT TO DISPUTES WITH CUSTOMERS AND VENDORS
RELATING TO AMOUNTS INVOICED FOR SERVICES PROVIDED WHICH WE MAY NOT BE ABLE TO
RESOLVE IN OUR FAVOR.
It is not unusual in our industry to occasionally have disagreements
with vendors relating to amounts billed for services provided between the
recipient of the services and the vendor. To the extent we are unable to
favorably resolve these disputes, our revenues, profitability or cash may be
adversely affected.
OUR ABILITY TO PROTECT OUR INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY IS UNCERTAIN.
We rely on know-how and trade secrets to maintain our competitive
position. Confidentiality agreements or other agreements with our employees,
consultants and advisors may not be enforceable or may not provide meaningful
protection for our proprietary technology, know-how, trade secrets, or other
proprietary information in the event of misappropriation, unauthorized use or
disclosure or other breaches of the agreements, or, even if such agreements are
legally enforceable, we may not have adequate remedies for breaches of such
agreements. The failure of our agreements to protect our proprietary technology
could result in significantly lower revenues, reduced profit margins or loss of
market share.
The market for our services depends to some extent upon the goodwill
associated with our trademarks and service marks. We own, or have licenses to
use, the material trademarks, service marks and trade names used in connection
with the marketing and performance of our services in the markets where those
services are sold. Therefore, trademark protection is important to our business.
Although our trademarks and service marks are registered in the United States,
we may not be successful in asserting trademark protection. In addition, the
laws of certain foreign countries may not protect our trademarks or service
marks to the same extent as the laws of the United States. The loss or
infringement of our trademarks or service marks could impair the goodwill
associated with our brands, harm our reputation and have a material adverse
effect on our financial results.
WE EXPECT TO CONTINUE TO INCUR LOSSES FOR THE NEAR FUTURE.
We project that we will continue to incur development and
administrative expenses and operate at a loss for up to the next three years
unless we are able to complete several acquisitions or generate substantial
revenues from inspection and membership services. We cannot be certain whether
or when we will be able to achieve profitability because of the significant
uncertainties with respect to our business.
OUR CURRENT CAPITALIZATION IS INADEQUATE AND WE MAY NOT BE ABLE TO RAISE THE
REQUIRED CAPITAL TO CONDUCT OUR OPERATIONS.
We have incurred substantial indebtedness through short-term bridge
loans and other short term loans made to us during the past 12 months by
investors and lenders. These loans have maturity dates occurring in the second
quarter of 2008. We must raise substantial equity capital in order to refinance
these short-term loans because our businesses do not have sufficient revenue to
service the debt. We cannot assure that we will be able to raise the necessary
capital to repay our debt. If we default on the debt, a significant portion of
which is secured by our assets, then we could lose our businesses and related
assets, causing investors to lose their entire investment in us. Furthermore, we
cannot assure that we will not incur debt in the future, that we will have
sufficient funds to repay our indebtedness, or that we will not default on our
-7-
debt, jeopardizing our business viability. We may not be able to borrow or raise
additional capital in the future to meet our needs or to otherwise provide the
capital necessary to conduct our business.
We will require additional capital resources including, but not limited
to, exercise of outstanding warrants, in order to conduct our operations and
raise sufficient working capital, as well as in order to grow and expand our
business. Future events may lead to increased costs that could make it difficult
for us to succeed. To raise additional capital, we may be required to sell
additional equity securities, or accept debt financing or obtain financing
through a bank or other entity. If additional funds are raised through the
issuance of additional stock, there may be a significant dilution in the value
of our outstanding common stock. We may not have binding arrangements with
respect to additional financings, even though we have signed investment and
financing commitments. If we so require, future financing may not be available
to us on commercially reasonable terms, or at all. We cannot assure that any
additional financings will be available to us, that we will be able to obtain
additional loans, or that adequate funds for our operations will otherwise be
available when needed or on terms that are acceptable to us. The inability to
secure additional financing would prevent us from achieving profitability and
would have a material adverse effect upon us, which may result in the loss of
your investment in ESP.
OUR INDUSTRY IS SUBJECT TO REGULATION THAT COULD ADVERSELY IMPACT OUR BUSINESS.
Our business is subject to various federal, state and local laws that
govern indoor air quality assessors and hygienists, business licensing, and
those governing health, safety, the rights of employees, employment
discrimination, wrongful termination, wages, hours, taxes, quality of service,
and other matters. A failure by us or our independent environmental inspectors
to comply with applicable government regulations or insurance company
requirements could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and
business operations.
OUR FINANCIAL STATEMENTS HAVE BEEN PREPARED ASSUMING THAT WE WILL CONTINUE AS A
GOING CONCERN.
The accompanying financial statements to this registration statement
have been prepared assuming that we will continue as a going concern. As
discussed in Note 15 to the financial statements, we generated net losses of
$21,468,106 during the period from September 29, 1992 (inception) through
December 31, 2007. These conditions raise substantial doubt about our ability to
continue as a going concern. Our continuation as a going concern is dependent on
our ability to meet our obligations, to obtain additional financing as may be
required, and ultimately to attain profitability. The consolidated financial
statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of
this uncertainty. Management plans to raise additional funds through debt or
equity offerings. We are insolvent unless and until we raise adequate capital to
repay our short-term indebtedness which is in default. There is no guarantee
that we will be able to raise any capital through any type of offerings.
WE ARE CURRENTLY IN DEFAULT ON OUR BRIDGE LOANS.
We have failed to repay our bridge loans on a timely basis. Currently,
our bridge loan lenders are exercising forbearance on a voluntary day-to-day
basis. We cannot assure that our lenders will continue to refrain from
enforcement and foreclosure on their loans. If we are not able to repay or
refinance bridge loans, we may experience foreclosure on our assets and a
cessation of our business. In such circumstances you may lose your entire
investment in ESP.
WE HAVE AN OBLIGATION TO REPURCHASE STOCK ISSUED TO CERTAIN BRIDGE LOAN LENDERS.
We have an obligation to repurchase stock issued to certain bridge loan
lenders. We cannot assure that we will have sufficient funds to repurchase the
stock and we may default on this obligation. Currently, we have an obligation to
repurchase 215,321 shares of our common stock at a price of $1.00 per share.
OUR BUSINESS MAY BE SUBJECT TO FLUCTUATIONS IN THE ECONOMY AND GEOPOLITICAL
EVENTS.
Our business could be affected by general economic conditions and those
specific to the inspection, real-estate and energy management industries. In
addition, our business could be affected by geopolitical events such as war,
threat of war or terrorist actions. Such an economic downturn or geopolitical
event could materially and adversely affect our business and financial
condition.
IF WE WERE TO LOSE THE SERVICES OF OUR KEY PERSONNEL, WE MAY NOT BE ABLE TO
EXECUTE OUR BUSINESS STRATEGY.
Our success is substantially dependent on the performance of our
executive officers and key employees. Given our early stage of operation, we are
dependent on our ability to retain and motivate high quality personnel. Although
we believe we will be able to engage qualified personnel for such purposes, an
inability to do so could materially adversely affect our ability to market and
-8-
perform our services. The loss of one or more of our key employees or our
inability to hire and retain other qualified employees could have a material
adverse effect on our business
IF WE ARE UNABLE TO HIRE, RETAIN OR MOTIVATE QUALIFIED PERSONNEL, CONSULTANTS,
INDEPENDENT CONTRACTORS AND ADVISORS, WE MAY NOT BE ABLE TO GROW EFFECTIVELY.
Our performance will be largely dependent on the talents and efforts of
highly skilled individuals. Our future success depends on our continuing ability
to identify, hire, develop, motivate and retain highly qualified personnel for
all areas of our organization. Competition for such qualified employees is
intense. If we do not succeed in attracting excellent personnel or in retaining
or motivating them, we may be unable to grow effectively. In addition, our
future success will depend in large part on our ability to retain key
consultants and advisors. We cannot assure that any skilled individuals will
agree to become an employee, consultant or independent contractor of ESP. Our
inability to retain their services could negatively impact our business and our
ability to execute our business strategy.
DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS HAVE LIMITED LIABILITY.
As permitted by the Nevada General Corporation Law, our certificate of
incorporation and by-laws limit the personal liability of our directors and
stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director or
stockholder, but such provision does not eliminate or limit the liability of a
director in certain circumstances, such as for: (i) any breach of the director's
duty of loyalty to the corporation or its stockholders; (ii) for acts or
omissions not in good faith or which involve intentional misconduct or a knowing
violation of law; (iii) under Section 174 of the Nevada General Corporate Law;
or (iv) for any transaction from which the director derived an improper personal
benefit. If we were called upon to perform under our indemnification agreement,
then the portion of our assets expended for such purpose would reduce the amount
otherwise available for our business.
RISKS RELATED TO OUR SECURITIES
UNTIL OCTOBER 2006, WE WERE A PUBLIC SHELL COMPANY. THERE ARE CERTAIN RISKS
ASSOCIATED WITH TRANSACTIONS WITH PUBLIC SHELL COMPANIES GENERALLY, INCLUDING
INCREASED SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION SCRUTINY AND REGULATION AND LACK OF
ANALYST COVERAGE.
Prior to October 2006, we were effectively a public shell company with
no material assets or operations and our only value was that we maintained
current filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") and a class
of securities that was traded on the OTC Bulletin Board. Substantial additional
risks are associated with a public shell merger transaction such as the absence
of accurate or adequate public information concerning the public shell;
undisclosed liabilities; improper accounting; claims or litigation from former
officers, directors, employees or stockholders; contractual obligations;
regulatory requirements and others. Although management performed due diligence
on the public shell company, there can be no assurance that such risks do not
occur. The occurrence of any such risk could materially adversely affect our
results of operations, financial condition and stock price. Security analysts of
major brokerage firms may not provide coverage of us. No assurance can be given
that brokerage firms will want to conduct any secondary public offerings on our
behalf or make a market in our stock in the future.
OUR COMMON STOCK MAY BE CONSIDERED A "PENNY STOCK" AND MAY BE DIFFICULT TO SELL.
The SEC has adopted regulations which generally define "penny stock" to
be an equity security that has a market price of less than $5.00 per share or an
exercise price of less than $5.00 per share, subject to specific exemptions. The
market price of our common stock is less than $5.00 per share and therefore may
be designated as a "penny stock" according to SEC rules. This designation
requires any broker or dealer selling these securities to disclose certain
information concerning the transaction, obtain a written agreement from the
purchaser and determine that the purchaser is reasonably suitable to purchase
the securities. These rules may restrict the ability of brokers or dealers to
sell our common stock and may affect the ability of investors to sell their
shares. In addition, since our common stock is currently traded on the NASD's
OTC Bulletin Board, investors may find it difficult to obtain accurate
quotations of our common stock and may experience a lack of buyers to purchase
such stock or a lack of market makers to support the stock price.
OUR PRINCIPAL SHAREHOLDERS HAVE SIGNIFICANT VOTING POWER AND MAY TAKE ACTIONS
THAT MAY NOT BE IN THE BEST INTEREST OF OTHER SHAREHOLDERS.
As of May 31, 2008, our executive officers, directors, and principal
shareholders who hold 5% or more of our outstanding common stock beneficially
owned, in the aggregate, approximately 67.812% of our outstanding common stock.
These shareholders are able to exercise significant control over all matters
requiring shareholder approval, including the election of directors and approval
of significant corporate transactions. This concentration of ownership may have
the effect of delaying or preventing a change in control and might adversely
-9-
affect the market price of our common stock. This concentration of ownership may
not be in the best interests of all our shareholders.
WE CAN PROVIDE NO ASSURANCE THAT OUR INTERNAL CONTROL OVER OUR FINANCIAL
REPORTING WILL BE EFFECTIVE UNDER SECTION 404 OF THE SARBANES-OXLEY ACT OF 2002.
Given the complexities and inherent risks associated with the operation
of internal control over financial reporting, we can provide no assurance that
our internal control over financial reporting will be effective under Section
404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 ("SOX"). Moreover, we can provide no
assurance as to any matters that might be reported in our management's
assessment of our internal control over financial reporting or our independent
registered public accounting firm's audit report. If we are not able to
implement the requirements relating to internal controls and all other
provisions of Section 404 in a timely fashion or achieve adequate compliance
with these requirements or other requirements of SOX, we might become subject to
sanctions or investigation by regulatory authorities such as the SEC or the
Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, Inc. ("FINRA"). Any such action may
materially adversely affect our reputation, financial condition and the value of
our securities, including our common stock. Additionally, ineffective internal
control over financial reporting could cause investors to lose confidence in our
reported financial information and could result in a lower trading price for our
securities.
THE TRADING PRICE OF OUR COMMON STOCK HAS BEEN, AND IS LIKELY TO CONTINUE TO BE,
VOLATILE WITH LIMITED LIQUIDITY.
The trading prices of our common stock and the securities of service
companies generally have been highly volatile. Trading volume has been extremely
light and may not increase, resulting in limited liquidity for stockholders. The
trading price of our common stock may decline or fail to appreciate. Factors
affecting the trading price of our common stock will include:
o variations in our operating results;
o announcements of technological innovations, new services or service
enhancements, strategic alliances or significant agreements by us or by
our competitors;
o recruitment or departure of key personnel;
o changes in the estimates of our operating results or changes in
recommendations by any securities analysts that elect to follow our
common stock;
o developments or disputes concerning our intellectual property or other
proprietary rights;
o the gain or loss of significant customers;
o market conditions in the inspection industry, the industries of our
customers, and the economy as a whole; and
o adoption or modification of regulations, policies, procedures or
programs applicable to our business.
In addition, if the market for service company stocks or the stock
market in general experiences loss of investor confidence, the trading price of
our common stock could decline for reasons unrelated to our business, operating
results or financial condition. The trading price of our common stock might also
decline in reaction to events that affect other companies in our industry even
if these events do not directly affect us.
THERE IS NO ASSURANCE OF AN ESTABLISHED PUBLIC TRADING MARKET, AND THE FAILURE
TO ESTABLISH ONE WOULD ADVERSELY AFFECT THE ABILITY OF OUR INVESTORS TO SELL
THEIR SECURITIES IN THE PUBLIC MARKET.
At present, there is minimal trading of our securities, and there can
be no assurance that an active trading market will develop. Our common stock is
traded on the OTC Bulletin Board. The OTC Bulletin Board is an inter-dealer,
over-the-counter market that provides significantly less liquidity than FINRA's
automated quotation system, or NASDAQ Stock Market. Quotes for stocks included
on the OTC Bulletin Board are not listed in the financial sections of newspapers
as are those for the NASDAQ Stock Market. Therefore, prices for securities
traded solely on the OTC Bulletin Board may be difficult to obtain and holders
of common stock may be unable to resell their securities at or near their
original price or at any price.
TRADING ON THE OTC BULLETIN BOARD MAY BE DETRIMENTAL TO INVESTORS.
Securities traded on the OTC Bulletin Board generally have limited
trading volume and exhibit a wide spread between the bid/ask quotations. 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, investors may have
difficulty buying and selling our common stock or obtaining market quotations,
market visibility for our common stock may be limited, and a lack of visibility
for our common stock may have a depressive effect on the market price for our
common stock.
-10-
A SIGNIFICANT NUMBER OF OUR SHARES WILL BE ELIGIBLE FOR SALE, AND THEIR SALE
COULD DEPRESS THE MARKET PRICE OF OUR COMMON STOCK.
Sales of a significant number of shares of our common stock in the
public market could harm the market price of our common stock. We are
registering an aggregate of 12,402,637 shares, or 19.8% of our common stock on a
fully diluted basis, for resale in the public market pursuant to this
registration statement. As such shares of our common stock are resold in the
public market, the supply of our common stock will increase, which could
decrease its price. Some or all of our shares of common stock as well as shares
of common stock underlying warrants may also be offered from time to time in the
open market pursuant to an effective registration statement or Rule 144, and
these sales may have a depressive effect on the market for our shares of common
stock. In general, a non affiliate who has held restricted shares for a period
of six months may sell into the market shares of our common stock.
IF WE FAIL TO MAINTAIN EFFECTIVE INTERNAL CONTROLS OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING, THE
PRICE OF OUR COMMON STOCK MAY BE ADVERSELY AFFECTED.
We are required to establish and maintain appropriate internal controls
over financial reporting. Failure to establish those controls, or any failure of
those controls once established, could adversely impact our public disclosures
regarding our business, financial condition or results of operations. In
addition, management's assessment of internal controls over financial reporting
may identify weaknesses and conditions that need to be addressed in our internal
controls over financial reporting or other matters that may raise concerns for
investors. Any actual or perceived weaknesses and conditions that need to be
addressed in our internal control over financial reporting, disclosure of
management's assessment of our internal controls over financial reporting or
disclosure of our public accounting firm's attestation to or report on
management's assessment of our internal controls over financial reporting may
have an adverse impact on the price of our common stock.
WE DO NOT FORESEE PAYING CASH DIVIDENDS IN THE FORESEEABLE FUTURE.
We have not paid cash dividends on our stock and do not plan to pay
cash dividends on our common stock in the foreseeable future.
WE MAY USE OUR PREFERRED STOCK AS AN ANTI-TAKEOVER DEVICE.
We are authorized to issue up to 1,000,000 shares of preferred stock,
$0.01 par value. The preferred stock may be issued in series from time to time
with such designation, voting and other rights, preferences and limitations as
our Board of Directors may determine by resolution. Unless the nature of a
particular transaction and applicable statutes require such approval, the Board
of Directors has the authority to issue these shares without stockholder
approval subject to approval of the holders of our preferred stock. The issuance
of preferred stock may have the effect of delaying or preventing a change in
control of ESP without any further action by our stockholders.
WE ARE SUBJECT TO CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES, AND WE MAY INTERPRET OR
IMPLEMENT REQUIRED POLICIES INCORRECTLY.
We will follow generally accepted accounting principles for the U.S. in
preparing our financial statements. As part of this process, we must make many
estimates and judgments about future events. These affect the value of the
assets and liabilities, contingent assets and liabilities, and revenue and
expenses that we report in our financial statements. We believe these estimates
and judgments are reasonable, and we make them in accordance with our accounting
policies based on information available at the time.
However, actual results could differ from our estimates, and this could require
us to record adjustments to expenses or revenues that could be material to our
financial position and results of operations in future periods.
IF WE DO NOT KEEP THIS REGISTRATION STATEMENT CURRENT, THE SELLING SECURITY
HOLDERS' ABILITY TO SELL THE COMMON STOCK UNDERLYING THEIR WARRANTS WILL BE
LIMITED.
We must maintain this registration statement on Form S-1 current and
effective with the SEC in order for selling security holders listed therein or
their assignees to be able to receive registered shares of common stock upon
exercise of the Warrants. We may not be able to maintain a registration
statement in effect throughout the period during which the Warrants remain
exercisable. Provided such registration statement is kept effective, following
any sale made by selling security holders of their shares of common stock
underlying the Warrants, prospective purchasers shall receive registered common
stock. Maintaining an effective registration statement requires substantial
continuing expenses for legal and accounting fees and we cannot guarantee our
ability to keep the registration statement effective.

USE OF PROCEEDS
If the Selling Security Holders determine to exercise their Warrants in
order to sell shares under this prospectus, we will receive the proceeds of the
exercise of the Warrants. If all of the Warrants are exercised, we would receive
net proceeds of $7,429,266. We plan to use any such net proceeds for
acquisitions, advertising and marketing, and as working capital. The amounts
actually expended for each such use, if any, are at our discretion and may vary
significantly depending upon a number of factors, including the amount of such
proceeds, future revenue growth and the amount of cash generated by our
operations. To the extent we do not utilize such proceeds immediately, such
proceeds will be invested in United States government or governmental agency
securities or short-term insured certificates of deposit.

DETERMINATION OF OFFERING PRICE
The shares of common stock are being offered for sale by the selling
security holders at prices established on the OTC Bulletin Board or in
negotiated transactions during the term of this offering. These prices will
fluctuate based on the demand for the shares.
MARKET FOR COMMON EQUITY AND RELATED SHAREHOLDER MATTERS
COMMON STOCK
Our common stock is listed on the OTC Bulletin Board and trades under
the symbol "EVSP." At the close of business on May 31, 2008 there were
50,357,879 issued and outstanding common shares which were held by approximately
200 shareholders of record, of which 3,290,182 shares were free trading. The
balance is restricted stock as that term is used in Rule 144 of the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act").
The following table sets forth the quarterly high and low closing sales
prices of the common stock for 2006 and 2007 and the first quarter of 2008 as
reported by Yahoo! Finance. Such prices represent prices between dealers and do
not include retail mark-ups, mark-downs or commissions and may not represent
actual transactions.
2006 HIGH LOW 2007 HIGH LOW 2008 HIGH LOW

There is currently minimal trading volume for our securities. During
the period from January 1, 2006 through March 31, 2008, our common stock traded
at a high of $2.20 and a low of $0.10.
DIVIDENDS
We have not declared or paid any cash dividends on our common stock and
we do not expect to pay any cash dividends in the foreseeable future. The
decision whether to pay cash dividends on our common stock will be made by our
Board of Directors, in their discretion, and will depend on our financial
condition, operating results, capital requirements and other factors that our
Board of Directors considers significant. We currently intend to retain our
earnings for funding growth and, therefore, do not expect to pay any dividends
in the foreseeable future.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF
OPERATION
YOU SHOULD READ THE FOLLOWING DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF OUR FINANCIAL
CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OUR OPERATIONS TOGETHER WITH OUR FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
AND RELATED NOTES APPEARING AT THE END OF THIS PROSPECTUS. THIS DISCUSSION
CONTAINS FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS REFLECTING OUR CURRENT EXPECTATIONS THAT
INVOLVE RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES. ACTUAL RESULTS AND THE TIMING OF EVENTS MAY
DIFFER MATERIALLY FROM THOSE CONTAINED IN THESE FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS DUE
TO A NUMBER OF FACTORS, INCLUDING THOSE DISCUSSED IN THE SECTION ENTITLED "RISK
FACTORS" BEGINNING ON PAGE 3 AND ELSEWHERE IN THIS PROSPECTUS.
OVERVIEW
Environmental Service Professionals, Inc. (hereinafter, "we," "us,"
"ESP" or the "Company") is a California-based, Nevada corporation, which through
its various acquisitions offers environmental services for addressing mold and
moisture intrusion and the associated acute or chronic issues that impact the
interior air quality of commercial and residential buildings.
We have evolved and focused on developing and delivering what
management believes to be state-of-the-art, "Best in Class" procedures, tools
and education to provide services for addressing moisture and mold related and
other environmental issues (for example: radon and allergy testing) for the
residential and commercial real estate industries.
Management believes that our procedures, tools and education bring a
real opportunity to provide a standardized pro-active approach to the highly
fragmented and relatively unsophisticated inspection industry.
-13-
Management believes that we are the first company of its kind to be
able to support a pro-active comprehensive annual inspection called the Mold and
Moisture Management Program ("MMM Program"). The MMM Program is available for
all residential properties that have passed our Certified Mold and Moisture
Inspection Process ("CMI").
Management believes that our acquisition of seven real estate industry
associations has provided the access to train and provide its members with
information that is consistent with ESP's approach.
Within the next two months, we intend to acquire Porter Valley
Software, Inc., an inspection software company. Management anticipates that this
acquisition will be absorbed into the corporate entity to provide support across
the various business units and will become a core component of the highly
advanced and standardized on-line and automated procedural protocols developed
in concert with each of the other three participants in the industry, ESP,
National Association of Moisture Management ("NAMM"), and EMLab P&K.
BUSINESS UNIT DESCRIPTIONS
ENVIRONMENTAL SAFEGUARD PROFESSIONALS, INC. ("SAFEGUARD") - WEB SITE:
HTTP://WWW.ESPUSA.NET
We have re-aligned this business unit to provide the home inspection
industry with what we believe to be state-of-the-art procedures for
environmental services. Safeguard's primary focus is on the standardized
Certified Moisture Investigation ("CMI") focusing on moisture intrusion issues
that may impact the interior air quality of commercial and residential buildings
and the health of its occupants. We also offer advanced residential services
including: allergen screening, radon testing, neighborhood environmental reports
and home energy tune-ups. We only utilize certified environmental home
inspectors who possess nationally recognized certifications and follow our "Best
in Class" industry practices. These protocols were developed by NAMM and offer
detailed interpretive reports and a consultation with a certified industrial
hygienist consultation based on independent laboratory analysis. Certified
documents and expert witness services are also available.
We provide a pro-active annual maintenance service for homeowners,
property management companies and builders. The MMM Program allows clients to
manage their liability and protect their property from serious chronic moisture
issues. Management believes that ESP is the first company of its kind to be able
to support the MMM Program. We have centralized our national call center and
customer services offices to Palm Springs, California.
NATIONAL PROFESSIONAL SERVICES, INC. ("NPS") - WEB SITE:
HTTP://WWW.NPSERVICESINC.COM
NPS' services include complete organization and association management,
advisory council and board of director coordination, seminars, conferences,
graphic design and printing, accounting and reporting and consulting. NPS
provides comprehensive management services for seven different membership
organizations of which four are both national and international organizations.
NPS maintains a servicing facility in Phoenix, Arizona which includes a fully
trained staff, conference room, library, accounting services and a computer room
updated with the latest server technology.
NPS is a full service association management company with the ability
to work with trade associations that have between 250 members to 50,000 members.
GROWTH STRATEGY
Currently the industry as a whole lacks a predominant brand, lacks
uniform inspection and reporting protocols, has inconsistent product and service
pricing, and no consistent public outreach program. Management believes that
cursory web searching tends to confirm the fragmented and relatively
unsophisticated nature of the industry. Management believes that there are a few
participants who are trying to build a national presence and/or a certified
network of independent inspectors, but there is no indication that they are very
far along or well-funded in their efforts.
ESP is focused on "Risk Management," which management believes is a
significant tool to assess the health of an individual's personal environment.
For the industry, it provides an easily understood and standardized way of
assessing risks regardless of location.
The goals are three-fold and in order of priority:
1) To gain the acceptance of the residential insurance industry
to a level where they will consider offering a discount to
their policyholders, if their customers/insured's receive an
initial CMI and then participate in the MMM Program.
-14-
2) To attract the existing top tier home and moisture inspectors
nationwide for them to become approved vendors of ESP as
independent contractors in order to deliver the CEHI Program
of services by offering a three point value statement:
a. Business on-line (featuring a complete automated
on-line work flow system including: sales, A/R & A/P
management);
b. Access to operate under ESP's CEHI liability
insurance at no cost to the inspector;
c. Access to group health, dental, and SEP 125 (as
available).
3) To focus on turning every household in America into ESP's
marketplace through environmental awareness and education, by
offering allergen screening, energy use assessments, mold
sampling, moisture management inspections, neighborhood
environmental reports, and radon testing.
a. ESP has a dedicated sales team to reach out to the
20,000 home inspectors in America who currently
perform some type of environmental inspection.
b. Implement ESP's national marketing campaign.
RISK MANAGEMENT PROCESS
ESP believes that the residential and commercial insurance companies
can benefit materially by reducing their annual claim payouts by requiring an
annually scheduled moisture and mold inspection.
By having a CMI performed by CEHI from ESP to identify any existing
issues, then correcting those issues, the building will then be qualified to
subscribe to the MMM Program.
By participating in the annual preventative MMM Program, it is possible
that issues would then be caught early and not become chronic. Any required
repairs can be made quickly and efficiently, usually at a lower cost.
ESP mitigates the client's liability by performing the MMM Program
visit annually. ESP shares in the recurring revenue with the technicians,
ensuring long-term client relationships.
KEY COMPETITIVE ADVANTAGES
STANDARDIZED, PROPRIETARY & SCALABLE PROCESSES
ESP has developed a combination of standardized proprietary processes
for each aspect of the client account from initial call, to the dispatch,
through completion of every inspection.
We have standardized each of our processes and have documented a
standardized training program, which all employees and contractors must pass.
New CEHIs are required to learn our processes, while developing working
relationships with administrative personal at our headquarters under simulated,
low-stress conditions. Teamwork is built by fostering an understanding of all
aspects of the business.
INDEPENDENT CONTRACTOR MODEL
Each contractor must submit a completed vendor approval form to
validate his eligibility and specifically verify the contractor's current
training, certifications and equipment. Based on this verification, the
contractor must then obtain the required training and equipment to operate ESP's
proprietary on-line systems and to deliver the program of services. There is a
fee to the contractor to receive this equipment and instruction. If the
contractor has obtained certain certifications and/or equipment previously,
there may be discounts to the amount of fees ESP will charge. The contractor can
either purchase the sampling kit from ESP or preferably order it directly from
the supplier.
ESP has modeled its independent contractor payment structure after
other leading service providers. The CEHI is then sub-contracted as an
independent contractor and dispatched to leads as they come into the centralized
call center.
Once the CEHI has performed the work, the client pays ESP directly and
then ESP pays the CEHI based on the standardized rate schedule.
ESP has control metrics in place to manage the associated risks and
expects to realize higher profit margins with greater quality work in this
model.
-15-
DIVERSIFIED ACROSS THREE CUSTOMER SEGMENTS
1. RESIDENTIAL: The residential market is the target market, and the
largest and most profitable for ESP. It represents homeowners contracting for
inspections and demonstrates high same-day close rates.
2. MULTI-UNIT: This market represents condominium homeowner
associations contracting for maintenance services.
3. COMMERCIAL: In this market segment, service calls are used to create
a maintenance budget. These are larger contracts and have longer sales cycles.
ADDITIONAL POTENTIAL REVENUE STEAMS
ESP has identified complimentary revenue streams that would further
support the success of our business model. Given our client database, long-term
client relationships and business relationship with a client's most valued
asset, his home, management believes that we can build a powerful asset through
our inspection reporting database:
o For each house or building on an annual MMM Program, there will be a history
of inspections, remediation, repairs and maintenance. o This information could
be highly valuable to mortgage and insurance underwriters, since it could
mitigate their risk.
Management believes that the current sub-prime crisis provides another
realistic avenue for revenue for ESP. City and local governments are beginning
to enforce by-laws on the holders of repossessed real estate. This means the
maintenance of the property is now the obligation of the entity who has
repossessed it. ESP could adapt and repackage its core services into an
inspection program for the financial institutions to assist in ensuring the
value of these properties.
CONCLUSION
ESP has assembled who management believes to be several of the upcoming
industry leaders and has brought them together to address many industry
concerns. Management believes that the indoor air quality industry has emerged
as very important for the overall health of all people. Recognition has been
given to the myriad of problems caused by poor indoor air quality as it relates
to microbial infestations-mold, including allergies, asthma and other pulmonary
ailments. The problem has been that the industry currently has no nationally
recognized standards. In response, management believes that ESP has taken a
leadership role with other industry members to create a higher level of quality
education and set standards in an effort to self-regulate what has previously
been an undisciplined business segment. Management believes that ESP has had the
foresight to provide valuable quality services that lead to a healthier indoor
environment as well as the overall health of the household. ESP has developed an
array of environmental service programs and packaged them into opportunities for
sale and success through its multiple lines of business.
The ESP team has come together from different backgrounds, educations,
experiences and qualifications. As a team, ESP has amassed many years of
experience in operations, sales, marketing and finance in service-based
businesses. ESP believes that its team has the knowledge and commitment to
become one of the largest service providers within this rapidly growing
industry. ESP's Chief Executive Officer is a senior member of various boards and
committees mandated to create a consensus on present standards for education,
inspection and procedures and plans for their implementation for mold and
moisture within the insurance and building industries.
Management believes that ESP has delivered proven inspection programs
within a business model that offers significant profit, coupled with its intent
to lead the industry. Management believes that ESP program participants are
provided with all the tools that they need for success. ESP provides an easy to
follow operations manual, complete sales program and extensive training coupled
with easily accessible hygienist services. Management believes that ESP
continues to be unique in client service through an established customer service
center and on-line scheduling.
Management believes that ESP has a focused concept, experienced
management team, and a successful business program in place. Additional
investment capital is required in order to implement our business model and grow
the business to a national level.

THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 2007 COMPARED TO THE THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31,
2008
REVENUE. Total revenue for the first three months period ended March
31, 2008 decreased by $180,625 from $245,717 in the three-month period ending
March 31, 2007 to $65,092 for the three months ended March 31, 2008. This
decrease in revenue was a result of the delayed launching of the CEHI program.
It is anticipated over the second quarter of 2008 that Safeguard will continue
to increase the number of approved vendors that will be certified to deliver
inspection services under the CEHI program, and that NPS will invoice and
collect the annual 2008 membership dues and continue to increase new memberships
in each of its associations.
OPERATING EXPENSES. Operating expenses increased by $16,800, up from
$1,350,742 during the three-month period ended March 31, 2007, to $1,367,542 for
the three-month period ended March 31, 2008. This increase in operating expenses
was the result of increased financing fees from the prior period. Expenses for
the period that related to stock issuances were: finance fee $959,863 and
consulting fee of $42,481.
NET LOSS. Net loss increased by $305,979 for the three-month period
ended March 31, 2008. This increase in net loss was the result of an increase in
financing fees and interest expense. Stock issuance related expenses for the
three months ended March 31, 2008 were $32,750. Currently operating costs exceed
revenue because sales are not yet sufficient. We cannot assure when or if
revenue will exceed operating costs.
YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2006 COMPARED TO YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2007
REVENUE. Total revenue for the period ended December 31, 2007 increased
by $499,484 to $581,803 from $82,319 in the prior year.
GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES. General and administrative
expenses increased by $8,987,613, up from $671,254 in 2006, to $9,658,867 for
the year ended December 31, 2007. This increase in general and administrative
expenses was the result of increased commissions of $1,975,798 from the prior
period and increased finance fees of $4,407,663 from the prior period.
NET LOSS. We cannot assure that we will generate positive revenues from
its operating activities, or that we will achieve and sustain a profit during
any future period, particularly if operations remain at current levels. Failure
to achieve significant revenues or profitability would materially and adversely
affect our business, financial condition, and results of operations. For the
fiscal year ended December 31, 2007, we incurred a net pre-tax loss from
continuing operations of $21,468,106. This was an increase of $20,903,517 or 97%
compared to the prior year.
Seventy-four percent of the net pre-tax loss for the fiscal year ended
December 31, 2007 was the result of a write down of $11,444,378 in goodwill,
$4,407,663 in finance fees, and $359,218 in assets (training materials)
attributable to the acquisition of Allstate Home Inspection & Household
Environmental Testing, Ltd., a Delaware corporation ("AHI").
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
We had net cash of $0 at March 31, 2008, as compared to net cash of
$20,866 at March 31, 2007.
-17-
SIGNIFICANT CHANGES IN CASH FLOWS FROM MARCH 31, 2007 AS COMPARED TO MARCH 31,
2008:
During the three months ended March 31, 2008, we used $510,950 of cash
for operating activities, as compared to $680,731 during the three months ended
March 31, 2007. The decrease in the use of cash for operating activities was a
result of restructuring and optimizing the administration support after
amalgamating the acquisitions made during the previous period. A portion of the
funds were used to enhance the CEHI program on-line work flow system and expand
the national call center to support the April 2008 launch of the CEHI program.
Cash provided by financing activities relating to the issuance of
promissory notes and shares of common stock during the three months ended March
31, 2008 was $510,949, as compared to $423,590 during the three months ended
March 31, 2007. Since January 1, 2006, our capital needs have primarily been met
from the proceeds of private placements, bridge loans and, to a lesser extent,
sales.
SIGNIFICANT CHANGES IN CASH FLOWS FROM DECEMBER 31, 2006 AS COMPARED TO DECEMBER
31, 2007:
During the year ended December 31, 2007, ESP used $5,051,667 of cash
for operating activities, as compared to $579,944 during the year ended December
31, 2006. The increase in the use of cash for operating activities was a result
of goodwill, finance fees, accounts payable, and other general and
administrative expenses.
Cash provided by financing activities relating to the issuance of
shares of common stock during the year ended December 31, 2007 was $2,702,308,
as compared to $836,796 during the year ended December 31, 2006. Since January
1, 2007, ESP's capital needs have primarily been met from the proceeds of
private placements, loans and, to a lesser extent, sales.
We will have additional capital requirements during 2008 and 2009. We
do not expect to be able to satisfy our cash requirements through product and
service sales, and therefore we will attempt to raise additional capital through
the sale of our common stock.
We cannot assure that we will have sufficient capital to finance our
growth and business operations or that such capital will be available on terms
that are favorable to us or at all. We are currently incurring operating
deficits that are expected to continue for the foreseeable future.
OFF-BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS
We do not have any off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are
reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition,
changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations,
liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources that is material to
investors.
GOING CONCERN
The financial statements included in this filing have been prepared in
conformity with generally accepted accounting principles that contemplate the
continuance of us as a going concern. Our cash flow is inadequate to pay all of
the costs associated with our operations. Management intends to use borrowings
and security sales to mitigate the effects of its cash position, however no
assurance can be given that debt or equity financing, or financing from the
exercise of warrants, if and when required will be available. The financial
statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and
classification of recorded assets and classification of liabilities that might
be necessary should we be unable to continue existence. The "Going Concern
Qualification" may make it substantially more difficult to raise capital.
CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES
We have identified the policies outlined below as critical to our
business operations and an understanding of our results of operations. The list
is not intended to be a comprehensive list of all of our accounting policies. In
many cases, the accounting treatment of a particular transaction is specifically
dictated by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, with
no need for management's judgment in their application. The impact and any
associated risks related to these policies on our business operations is
discussed throughout management's Discussion and Analysis or Plan of Operation
where such policies affect our reported and expected financial results. Note
that our preparation of the financial statements requires us to make estimates
and assumptions that affect the reported amount of assets and liabilities,
disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of our financial
statements, and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the
reporting period. There can be no assurance that actual results will not differ
from those estimates.
-18-
REVENUE RECOGNITION
ESP recognizes service revenues in accordance with the SEC's Staff
Accounting Bulletin No. 104, Revenue Recognition, and the Financial Accounting
Standards Board's ("FASB") Emerging Issues Task Force Issue No. 00-21, Revenue
Arrangements with Multiple Deliverables. Revenue is recognized when the price is
fixed or determinable, persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, the service
is performed and collectability of the resulting receivable is reasonably
assured.
At the inception of a customer contract for service, we make an
assessment as to that customer's ability to pay for the services provided. If we
subsequently determine that collection from the customer is not reasonably
assured, we record an allowance for doubtful accounts and bad debt expense for
all of that customer's unpaid invoices and ceases recognizing revenue for
continued services provided until cash is received.
From time to time, we may enter into contracts to sell services to
unrelated companies at or about the same time we enter into contracts to
purchase products or services from the same companies. If we conclude that these
contracts were negotiated concurrently, we expect to record as revenue only the
net cash received from the vendor.
We may from time to time resell licenses or services of third parties.
Revenue for these transactions would be recorded when we have risk of loss
related to the amounts purchased from the third party and we add value to the
license or service, such as by providing maintenance or support for such license
or service. If these conditions are present, we recognize revenue when all other
revenue recognition criteria are satisfied.
SAFEGUARD DIVISION
At time of service delivery all customers are required to sign a
standard service agreement and either pay by check, credit card or if approved
prior to dispatch a purchase order. The inspector will contact the centralize
call center and process the check or credit card through our on-line payment
processing system. This ensures immediate receipt of payment for services.
Purchase orders are tracked against the applicable work order and are due within
30 days of delivery of services.
Customers who request the annual inspections are required to sign a
standard service agreement and a pre-authorizing form to allow the us to debit
their account at time of annual inspection. We will pro-rate the revenue from
those customers that sign up and prepay for multi-year annual inspections
There is a non-refundable one-time charge for reviewing an inspector's
application to become an approved CEHI Vendor. This amount is payable to
Safeguard and is recognized upon receipt of the signed approved vendor
application.
NPS DIVISION
Customers are required to sign a membership form and either pay for the
annual dues by check or credit card at time of submission. We recognize annual
membership revenue on monthly pro-rated amount from receipt of dues.
STOCK BASED COMPENSATION EXPENSE
We expect to account any share-based compensation pursuant to SFAS No.
123 (revised 2004) Share-Based Payment, or SFAS No. 123R. SFAS No. 123R requires
measurement of all employee share-based payments awards using a fair-value
method. When a grant date for fair value is determined we will use the
Black-Scholes-Merton pricing model. The Black-Scholes-Merton valuation
calculation requires us to make key assumptions such as future stock price
volatility, expected terms, risk-free rates and dividend yield. The
weighted-average expected term for stock options granted was calculated using
the simplified method in accordance with the provisions of Staff Accounting
Bulletin No. 107, Share-Based Payment. The simplified method defines the
expected term as the average of the contractual term and the vesting period of
the stock option. We will estimate the volatility rates used as inputs to the
model based on an analysis of the most similar public companies for which ESP
has data. We will use judgment in selecting these companies, as well as in
evaluating the available historical volatility data for these companies.
SFAS No. 123R requires us to develop an estimate of the number of
share-based awards which will be forfeited due to employee turnover. Annual
changes in the estimated forfeiture rate may have a significant effect on
share-based payments expense, as the effect of adjusting the rate for all
expense amortization after January 1, 2006 is recognized in the period the
forfeiture estimate is changed. If the actual forfeiture rate is higher than the
estimated forfeiture rate, then an adjustment is made to increase the estimated
forfeiture rate, which will result in a decrease to the expense recognized in
the financial statements. If the actual forfeiture rate is lower than the
estimated forfeiture rate, then an adjustment is made to decrease the estimated
forfeiture rate, which will result in an increase to the expense recognized in
-19-
the financial statements. The risk-free rate is based on the U.S. Treasury yield
curve in effect at the time of grant. We have never paid cash dividends, and do
not currently intend to pay cash dividends, and thus have assumed a 0% dividend
yield.
ESP will continue to use judgment in evaluating the expected term,
volatility and forfeiture rate related to its stock-based awards on a
prospective basis, and in incorporating these factors into the model. If our
actual experience differs significantly from the assumptions used to compute its
stock-based compensation cost, or if different assumptions had been used, we may
record too much or too little share-based compensation cost. ESP recognizes
expense using the straight-line attribution method.
BUSINESS
GENERAL
Environmental Service Professionals, Inc. (hereinafter, "we," "us,"
"ESP" or the "Company") is a Nevada corporation headquartered in Southern
California. ESP has embarked on a strategy to acquire businesses dealing with
environmental issues and resolving environmentally sensitive problems. We have
completed four acquisitions and are in various stages of discussion with
additional companies that we believe are a good philosophical, operational and
economic fit with ESP. Of the current companies targeted, management anticipates
that some will be free-standing subsidiaries and others will be absorbed into
existing operations.
ESP offers various inspection services that include energy/efficiency
audits and for addressing mold and moisture intrusion that can have an acute and
chronic negative impact on the indoor air quality of commercial and residential
buildings.
Environmental Safeguard Professionals, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary
("Safeguard"), has developed a standardized training, certification, inspection,
and results reporting analysis program which forms the foundation of a suite of
services that together comprise the Certified Environmental Home Inspector
("CEHI") program. Management believes that business unit will provide the annual
subscription-based moisture maintenance and energy use awareness programs to
both residential and commercial clients.
National Professional Services, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary
("NPS"), is currently a conglomerate of seven individual associations and
maintains annual paying members. The focus of this business unit is to establish
cross-training on CEHI Programs and to provide information concerning
residential environmental issues, establish training for underwriters, loan
officers and appraisers to educate these groups about CEHI inspection protocols.
These training programs for insurance companies, underwriters, loss control and
risk management personnel educate and emphasize the benefits of using a CEHI on
the initial inspection and then establishing annual inspections.
WHOLLY OWNED SUBSIDIARIES
ENVIRONMENTAL SAFEGUARD PROFESSIONALS, INC.
OVERVIEW. Consistent with the market positioning established in ESP's
initial business plan and subsequently amended in November 2007. Safeguard has
developed a program that consists of a suite of services when used together
comprise what management believes to be "The Industry's Best in Class
Inspection."
The branding of this program is called the Certified Environmental Home
Inspector Program ("CEHI Program"). We believe that the CEHI Program represents
the keystone for environmental services supporting the residential real-estate
mortgage, banking and insurance industries in their ability to manage losses
through moisture related claims. We also believe that the CEHI Program will play
a significant role in managing the health and indoor air quality of the
environments where people work and live.
Safeguard, while developing the CEHI Program, has engaged in working
relationships with five industry participants, the National Association of
Moisture Management ("NAMM"), Porter Valley Software, Inc., EMLabs P&K,
Environmental Data Resources Inc. ("EDR"), and CMC Energy Services, Inc.
("CMC").
By accepting NAMM's inspection protocols as the basis for the moisture
inspection, EMLabs P&K's MoldScore(TM) as the prime method of sample analysis
and by bringing it all together, utilizing the core of the InspectVue(TM)
application from Porter Valley as the software platform, ESP has constructed a
system that we believe produces a universally accepted standardized report for
moisture related issues using the best science currently available to determine
if any mold that may be present poses a hazard.
Safeguard's CEHI Program, which includes the Certified Moisture
Inspection, MoldScore(TM) analysis and the Annual Mold & Moisture Maintenance
services, meets the requirements of the "mold prevention and maintenance plan
("MPMP") as defined in the "Mold Steps Toward Clarity A White Paper by the Mold
Working Group Updated: July 2007" published by the Commercial Real
Estate/Multifamily Finance Board of Governors ("COMBOG") Underwriting and
Closing Committee of the Mortgage Bankers Association.
-20-
By integrating the services of EDR and CMC, management believes the
CEHI Program can provide abridged Phase I environmental reports and energy use
inspections.
The CEHI Program is all about risk management for the individual.
Management believes it is a significant tool to assess the health of one's
environment. Management believes that for the industry, it provides an easily
understood, standardized way of assessing the risks of their policies,
regardless of location.
SERVICE DESCRIPTION. The services included in the CEHI Program are
comprised of what management believes to be highly advanced and standardized
on-line and automated procedural protocols developed in concert with each of the
four industry participants, ESP, NAMM, EMLab P&K, Porter Valley Software, EDR
and CMC. It is a requirement that all CEHI's utilize the on-line system when
delivering any of the CEHI Program services. By working with nationally
recognized industry leaders, management believes that we have developed state of
the art "best in class" procedures providing the residential real-estate and
insurance industries the ability to manage losses through claim reduction.
Management believes that clients utilizing CEHIs, can be assured that
every single employee or approved vendor who provides services through the CEHI
Program has obtained the industries' best training, certifications and equipment
required to provide the CEHI's Program's services.
Management believes that the CEHI Program also benefits the individual
inspector. Approved vendors of Safeguard who deliver CEHI Program services are
anticipated to have the ability to deliver more effective inspections and
meaningful reports, as well as the ability to provide additional environmental
services (e.g.: Allergen Screening, Energy/Environmental reports and Radon
testing). The CEHI's ability to provide certain environmental services may be
subject state or federal law and/or additional training requirements.
NATIONAL PROFESSIONAL SERVICES, INC.
OVERVIEW. NPS is a management company whose services include complete
organization and association management, advisory council and board of director
coordination, seminars, conferences, graphic design and printing, accounting and
reporting and consulting. NPS provides comprehensive management services for
seven different membership organizations of which four are both National and

accounting services and a computer room updated with the latest server
technology.
NPS is a full service association management company with the ability
to work with trade associations that have between 250 members to 50,000 members.
DESCRIPTION OF ASSOCIATIONS. Founded in 1966, the National Association
of Real Estate Appraisers ("NAREA") is a professional organization of real
estate appraisers. NAREA is one of the largest professional associations in the
United States. Management believes that NAREA has earned the credibility and
public trust needed when affiliating with a professional organization.
Management believes that the Code of Ethics and Uniform Standards of
Professional Appraisal Practice ("USPAP"), to which members must adhere,
provides the industry with the assurance it needs when accepting an appraisal
report from a NAREA designated member. Along with the regular nationwide
seminars and an annual Appraisal Expo Conference, members receive bi-monthly
newsletters, appraisal guidelines, updates on regulations, the Annual Membership
Directory, legislative monitoring of the issues affecting the appraisal industry
and much more.
The Environmental Assessment Association ("EAA") is an international
organization dedicated to providing members with information and education in
the environmental industry relating to environmental inspections and testing.
EAA represents thousands of environmental professionals who provide services to
a wide variety of clients including lenders, federal & state agencies and
private companies. EAA's membership consists of environmental inspectors,
lenders, remediation firms and government agencies. The Environmental Assessment
Association offers several professional designations and memberships which
management believes makes the association one of the largest in the world for
environmental professionals. EAA has worked closely with Environmental
Protection Agencies and management believes that EAA is at the forefront of the
environmental industry maintaining a well earned reputation of "being involved."
Management believes that the Association of Construction Inspectors
("ACI") is the largest professional organization for those involved in
construction inspection and construction project management. Management also
believes that ACI is the leading association providing standards, guidelines,
regulations, education, training, and professional recognition in a field that
has quickly become critical for both residential and commercial construction.
Management believes that members of ACI provide a vital service to the
construction industry, providing both construction inspections (verifying
percentage of completion for the purpose of draw requests) and construction
-21-
project management (providing full construction monitoring, paying of the
contractor and sub-contractors, verifying each stage of construction and
reporting to the client).
The Housing Inspection Foundation ("HIF") is an organization of
professionals dedicated to the promotion and development of Home Inspection. HIF
was created to provide members with information, education, standards, ethics,
and professional recognition. Management believes that the home inspection
industry is the fastest growing profession today. Management believes that this
creates new opportunities for those who are involved in the real estate,
construction or environmental fields who are willing to learn how to perform
these vital services-including home inspectors, building inspectors, real estate
professionals, construction inspectors, and remodeling contractors.
The International Real Estate Institute ("IREI") is a professional
organization founded in 1966, making available real estate professionals to
those requiring Professional Realty Reports. Management believes that IREI is
one of the largest professional associations in the world, with more members in
more cities than any other organization. Management believes that IREI has
earned the credibility and public trust one needs when affiliating with a
professional organization. Management believes that the Code of Ethics and
Professional Standards of Professional Real Estate Practice, to which members
must adhere, provides the industry the assurance it needs when accepting an
appraisal report from an IREI designated member. Professionally presented
education programs enhance the member's knowledge. Along with weekly seminars
and an annual Realtor Expo and Conference, members receive bi-monthly
Newsletters, real estate guidelines, updates on regulations, the Annual
Membership Directory, legislative monitoring of the issues affecting the real
estate industry and much more.
The International Society of Meeting Planners ("ISMP") is a
professional organization founded in 1966, making available professional meeting
planners. Management believes that ISMP is one of the largest professional
associations in the United States with more members in more cities than any
other organization. Management believes that ISMP has earned the credibility and
public trust one needs when affiliating with a professional organization.
Management believes that the Code of Ethics and Uniform Standards of
Professional Meeting Planners Practice, to which members must adhere, provides
the industry the assurance it needs when accepting a meeting report from an ISMP
designated member. Professionally presented education programs enhance the
member's knowledge. In addition to the weekly seminars and an Annual Planners
Expo and Conference, members receive bi-monthly Newsletters, meeting guidelines,
updates on regulations, the Annual Membership Directory and legislative
monitoring of the issues affecting the industry.
INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY
Establishing or acquiring strong brand identity is important to our
plans to recruit the required independent contractors and establish a strong
presence in local, regional and national markets. We are working with our
intellectual property counsel to register a number of names for us to use in
developing external brand identity. In addition, management is impressed with
the number of small operators who have developed significant brand acceptance
and recognition in their geographic area. We believe that these brand assets
could be leveraged in much larger geographic areas with substantially larger
market share. We are pursuing opportunities to expand our brand identity with
such small operators having significant brand acceptance in three ways: (1)
through an affiliate relationship; (2) licensing for expanded territories;
and/or (3) acquisition potential, where appropriate.
Currently, ESP owns the following registered trademarks/service marks:
1. Environmental Sampling Professionals, Inc(R), registration number
2721471;
2. ESP and Design(R), registration number 2788620;
3. Allstate Home Inspection & Household Environmental Testing(R),
registration number 2509084; and
4. Advance Look(R), registration number 3035162.
MARKETING
We plan to implement multiple strategies to market our services and
gain national recognition. We anticipate that our core focus will be on the
residential, multi-unit, and commercial markets. The residential market is our
primary the target market because we believe that it is the largest and most
profitable for ESP. It represents homeowners contracting for inspections and
demonstrates high same-day close rates. The multi-unit market includes
condominium homeowner associations contracting for maintenance services. In the
commercial market, service calls are used to create a maintenance budget. These
represent larger contracts and have longer sales cycles. Management expects our
diversification over several market segments to stabilize our service
utilization levels during lulls in the target market.
-22-
We also plan to acquire small companies in different geographic regions
with strong branding and operational histories within their geographical
regions. We believe that we will be able to leverage these regional distribution
companies into a national presence with a larger branded proprietary product
line.
GOVERNMENT REGULATION
ESP and its affiliates are subject to various federal, state and local
laws affecting regulation of the indoor air quality testing industry. ESP is
also subject to government laws and regulations governing health, safety,

LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
JOHN COOLEY V. PACIFIC ENVIRONMENTAL SAMPLING, INC. ETC., ET AL. On
December 6, 2006, John Cooley filed a civil complaint in Ventura County alleging
breach of fiduciary duty and fraud regarding the restructuring of Pacific
Environmental Sampling, Inc. on March 25, 2006. On December 12, 2006, a hearing
before the Court was held on the application for injunctive relief and for
appointment of a receiver. Both of Cooley's requests were denied by the Court.
ESP and its affiliates subsequently filed a demurrer challenging the legal
sufficiency of the fraud claim and the demurrer was sustained. Cooley was
permitted by the Court to file a First Amended Complaint to attempt to correct
deficiencies. With an extension, the First Amended Complaint was filed on March
27, 2007. Subsequently, this First Amended Compliant was rejected as was the
Second Amended Complaint. On April 4, 2008 a hearing for a Third Amended
Complaint was held before the court and we were granted all submitted demurrers
and Motions to Strike. On April 25, 2008, Cooley submitted a Fourth Amended
Complaint. A tentative hearing date has been set for May 30, 2008. As of the
date of this report, ESP and its affiliates cannot predict the outcome of this
case. ESP and its affiliates believe they have meritorious defenses and are
vigorously defending the action.

No officer or director is required to make any specific amount or
percentage of his business time available to us. Each of our officers intends to
devote such amount of his or her time to our affairs as is required or deemed
appropriate by us.
BOARD OF DIRECTORS
Our Board of Directors currently consists of four directors. Messrs.
Moyer and August are "independent" as defined in Rule 4200 of FINRA's listing
standards. Mr. Torres, who is our President and Chief Executive Officer, and Mr.
Watkins, who is our Chief Operating Officer and Corporate Secretary, are not
independent. We plan to appoint additional independent directors so that a
majority of our directors are independent.
COMMITTEES OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS
Our Board of Directors currently has a standing Audit Committee. We
plan to establish a Compensation Committee and a Nominating and Governance
Committee. Until such committees are established, matters otherwise addressed by
such committees will be acted upon by the majority of independent directors. The
following is a brief description of our committees and contemplated committees.
AUDIT COMMITTEE
Mr. Moyer is the sole member of our Audit Committee. Mr. Moyer meets
the applicable FINRA listing standards for designation as an "Audit Committee
Financial Expert." The Board of Directors has adopted a written charter of the
Audit Committee. The Audit Committee is authorized by the Board of Directors to
review, with our independent accountants, the annual financial statements of ESP
prior to publication, and to review the work of, and approve non-audit services
preformed by, such independent accountants. The Audit Committee will make annual
recommendations to the Board for the appointment of independent public
accountants for the ensuing year. The Audit Committee will also review the
effectiveness of the financial and accounting functions and the organization,
operations and management of ESP. The Audit Committee was formed April, 2007.
The Audit Committee held monthly meetings during fiscal year ended December 31,
2007.
Pursuant to the Audit Committee charter, the functions of our Audit
Committee includes:
o meeting with our management periodically to consider the adequacy of
our internal controls and the objectivity of our financial reporting;
o engaging and pre-approving audit and non-audit services to be rendered
by our independent auditors; o recommending to our Board of Directors
the engagement of our independent auditors and oversight of the work of
our independent auditors;
o reviewing our financial statements and periodic reports and discussing
the statements and reports with our management, including any
significant adjustments, management judgments and estimates, new
accounting policies and disagreements with management;
o establishing procedures for the receipt, retention and treatment of
complaints received by us regarding accounting, internal accounting
controls and auditing matters;
o administering and discussing with management and our independent
auditors our code of ethics; and
o reviewing and approving all related-party transactions in accordance
with applicable listing exchange rules.
COMPENSATION COMMITTEE
We plan to establish a compensation committee. The functions of our
compensation committee will include:
o reviewing and, as it deems appropriate, recommending to our board of
directors, policies, practices and procedures relating to the
compensation of our directors and executive officers and the
establishment and administration of certain of our employee benefit
plans;
o exercising authority under certain of our employee benefit plans; and
-25-
o reviewing and approving executive officer and director indemnification
and insurance matters.
CORPORATE GOVERNANCE AND NOMINATING COMMITTEE
We plan to establish a corporate governance and nominating committee.
The functions of our corporate governance and nominating committee will include:
o developing and recommending to our board of directors our corporate
governance guidelines;
o overseeing the evaluation of our board of directors;
o identifying qualified candidates to become members of our board of
directors;
o selecting nominees for election of directors at the next annual meeting
of shareholders (or special meeting of shareholders at which directors
are to be elected); and
o selecting candidates to fill vacancies on our board of directors.
COMPENSATION COMMITTEE INTERLOCKS AND INSIDER PARTICIPATION
Once established, no member of our compensation committee will serve as
a member of the board of directors or the compensation committee of any entity
that has one or more executive officers who serve on our board of directors or
compensation committee. No interlocking relationship exists between our board of
directors and the board of directors or compensation committee of any other
company, nor has any interlocking relationship existed in the past.
CODE OF CONDUCT
ESP has adopted a Code of Conduct that applies to all of our directors,
officers and employees. The text of the Code of Conduct has been posted on ESP's
Internet website and can be viewed at http://www.evsp.com. Any waiver of the
provisions of the Code of Conduct for executive officers and directors may be
made only by the Audit Committee and, in the case of a waiver for members of the
Audit Committee, by the Board of Directors. Any such waivers will be promptly
disclosed to ESP's shareholders.
COMPLIANCE WITH SECTION 16(A) OF EXCHANGE ACT
Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act requires ESP's officers and
directors, and certain persons who own more than 10% of a registered class of
ESP's equity securities (collectively, "Reporting Persons"), to file reports of
ownership and changes in ownership ("Section 16 Reports") with the SEC.
Reporting Persons are required by the SEC to furnish ESP with copies of all
Section 16 Reports they file.
Based solely on its review of the copies of such Section 16 Reports
received by it, or written representations received from certain Reporting
Persons, all Section 16(a) filing requirements applicable to ESP's Reporting
Persons during and with respect to the fiscal year ended December 31, 2007 have
been complied with on a timely basis, except for the filing of Form 3s by our
officers and directors.
LIMITATION OF LIABILITY AND INDEMNIFICATION OF OFFICERS AND DIRECTORS
Under Nevada General Corporation Law and ESP's Articles of
Incorporation, ESP's directors will have no personal liability to ESP's
stockholders for monetary damages incurred as the result of the breach or
alleged breach by a director of his "duty of care." This provision does not
apply to the directors' (i) acts or omissions that involve intentional
misconduct or a knowing and culpable violation of law, (ii) acts or omissions
that a director believes to be contrary to the best interests of the corporation
or its shareholders or that involve the absence of good faith on the part of the
director, (iii) approval of any transaction from which a director derives an
improper personal benefit, (iv) acts or omissions that show a reckless disregard
for the director's duty to the corporation or its shareholders in circumstances
in which the director was aware, or should have been aware, in the ordinary
course of performing a director's duties, of a risk of serious injury to the
corporation or its shareholders, (v) acts or omissions that constituted an
unexcused pattern of inattention that amounts to an abdication of the director's
duty to the corporation or its shareholders, or (vi) approval of an unlawful
dividend, distribution, stock repurchase or redemption. This provision would
generally absolve directors of personal liability for negligence in the
performance of duties, including gross negligence.
The effect of this provision in ESP's Articles of Incorporation is to
eliminate the rights of ESP's stockholders (through stockholder's derivative
suits on behalf of ESP) to recover monetary damages against a director for
breach of his fiduciary duty of care as a director (including breaches resulting
from negligent or grossly negligent behavior) except in the situations described
in clauses (i) through (vi) above. This provision does not limit nor eliminate
the rights of ESP or any stockholder to seek non-monetary relief such as an
injunction or rescission in the event of a breach of a director's duty of care.
In addition, ESP's Articles of Incorporation provide that if Nevada law is
-26-
amended to authorize the future elimination or limitation of the liability of a
director, then the liability of the directors will be eliminated or limited to
the fullest extent permitted by the law, as amended. Nevada General Corporation
Law grants corporations the right to indemnify their directors, officers,
employees and agents in accordance with applicable law. ESP's Bylaws provide for
indemnification of such persons to the full extent allowable under applicable
law. These provisions will not alter the liability of the directors under
federal securities laws.
Furthermore, management has entered into agreements to indemnify ESP's
directors and officers, in addition to the indemnification provided for in ESP's
Bylaws. These agreements, among other things, indemnify ESP's directors and
officers for certain expenses (including attorneys' fees), judgments, fines, and
settlement amounts incurred by any such person in any action or proceeding,
including any action by or in the right of ESP, arising out of such person's
services as a director or officer of ESP, any subsidiary of ESP or any other
company or enterprise to which the person provides services at the request of
ESP. We believe that these provisions and agreements are necessary to attract
and retain qualified directors and officers.
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities
Act may be permitted to directors, officers or persons controlling ESP pursuant
to the foregoing provisions, ESP has been informed that in the opinion of the
SEC, such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Act and
is therefore unenforceable.

EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANS
On or about April 28, 2008, our Board of Directors approved the 2008
ESP Stock and Incentive Plan (the "2008 Plan") for directors, officers,
employees, and consultants. We anticipate that our shareholders will ratify the
2008 Plan on or before April 28, 2009. The 2008 Plan allows any of the following
types of awards, to be granted alone or in tandem with other awards: (1) Stock
options which may be either incentive stock options ("ISOs"), which are intended
to satisfy the requirements of Section 422 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986,
as amended, or nonstatutory stock options ("NSOs"), which are not intended to
meet those requirements; (2) restricted stock which is common stock that is
subject to restrictions, including a prohibition against transfer and a
substantial risk of forfeiture, until the end of a "restricted period" during
which the grantee must satisfy certain vesting conditions; (3) restricted stock
units which entitle the grantee to receive common stock, or cash (or other
property) based on the value of common stock, after a "restricted period" during
which the grantee must satisfy certain vesting conditions or the restricted
stock unit is forfeited; (4) stock appreciation rights which entitle the grantee
to receive, with respect to a specified number of shares of common stock, any
increase in the value of the shares from the date the award is granted to the
date the right is exercised; and (5) other types of equity-based compensation
which may include shares of common stock granted upon the achievement of
performance objectives.
The 2008 Plan will be administered by the Compensation Committee, which
will at all times be composed of two or more members of the Board of Directors
who are not our employees or consultants. Any employee or director of, or
consultant for, us or any of our subsidiaries or other affiliates will be
eligible to receive awards under the 2008 Plan. We have reserved 10,000,000
shares of common stock for awards under the 2008 Plan. In addition, on each
anniversary of the 2008 Plan's effective date on or before the fifth anniversary
of the effective date, the aggregate number of shares of our common stock
available for issuance under the 2008 Plan will be increased by the lesser of
(a) 5% of the total number of shares of our common stock outstanding as of the
December 31 immediately preceding the anniversary, (b) 500,000 shares, or (c) a
lesser number of shares of our common stock that our board, in its sole
discretion, determines. In general, shares reserved for awards that lapse or are
canceled will be added back to the pool of shares available for awards under the
2008 Plan.
Awards under the 2008 Plan are forfeitable until they become vested. An
award will become vested only if the vesting conditions set forth in the award
agreement (as determined by the Compensation Committee) are satisfied. The
vesting conditions may include performance of services for a specified period,
achievement of performance objectives, or a combination of both. The
Compensation Committee also has authority to provide for accelerated vesting
upon occurrence of an event such as a change in control. The 2008 Plan
specifically prohibits the Compensation Committee from repricing any stock
options or stock appreciation rights. In general, awards under the 2008 Plan may
not be assigned or transferred except by will or the laws of descent and
distribution. However, the Compensation Committee may allow the transfer of NSOs
to members of a 2008 Plan participant's immediate family or to a trust,
partnership, or corporation in which the parties in interest are limited to the
participant and members of the participant's immediate family.
The Board of Directors or the Compensation Committee may amend, alter,
suspend, or terminate the 2008 Plan at any time. If necessary to comply with any
applicable law (including stock exchange rules), we will first obtain
stockholder approval. Amendments, alterations, suspensions, and termination of
the 2008 Plan generally may not impair a participant's (or a beneficiary's)
rights under an outstanding award. However, rights may be impaired if necessary
to comply with an applicable law or accounting principles (including a change in
the law or accounting principles) pursuant to a written agreement with the
participant. Unless it is terminated sooner, the 2008 Plan will terminate upon
the earlier of April 28, 2018 or the date all shares available for issuance
under the 2008 Plan have been issued and vested.
In April 2008, we issued stock options to purchase 800,000 shares of
our common stock at an average exercise price of $0.10 per share to our two
independent directors.
DIRECTOR COMPENSATION
None of ESP's directors received any compensation for their respective
services rendered to us during the year ended December 31, 2007.
As of April 28, 2008, we approved the following non-employee director
compensation program: We will pay our non-employee directors $2,500 each quarter
and our two current non-employee directors will receive $10,000 in consideration
for their services to ESP during 2007. In addition, we will grant options to our
non-employee directors as follows: (i) each new non-employee director will
receive a one-time grant of options to purchase 100,000 shares of our common
stock in accordance with the 2008 Plan, (ii) each board committee chairperson
will receive a one-time grant of options to purchase 50,000 shares of our common
stock in accordance with the 2008 Plan, and (iii) each non-employee director
will receive an annual grant of options to purchase 50,000 shares of our common
stock in accordance with the 2008 Plan.

PRINCIPAL STOCKHOLDERS
The following table sets forth certain information regarding the
beneficial ownership of our common stock as of May 31, 2008, by (i) each
director, (ii) each executive officer, (iii) all directors and executive
officers as a group, and (iv) each person who beneficially owns more than five
percent of our common stock. Beneficial ownership is determined in accordance
with the rules of the SEC. In computing the number of shares beneficially owned
by a person and the percentage of ownership of that person, shares of common
stock subject to options held by that person that are currently exercisable or
become exercisable within 60 days of May 31, 2008 are deemed outstanding even if
they have not actually been exercised. Those shares, however, are not deemed
outstanding for the purpose of computing the percentage ownership of any other
person. The percentage ownership of each beneficial owner is based on 50,357,879
outstanding shares of common stock. Except as otherwise listed below, the
address of each person is c/o Environmental Service Professionals, Inc., 1111
East Tahquitz Canyon Way, Suite 110, Palm Springs, California 92262. Except as
indicated, each person listed below has sole voting and investment power with
respect to the shares set forth opposite such person's name.

owned by Northcom Consulting, Inc. of which Mr. Watkins is the President.
(5) Includes 350,000 shares which may be purchased pursuant to stock options
that are exercisable within 60 days of May 31, 2008. Also includes 450,000
shares and 250,000 shares which may be purchased pursuant to warrants that

(7) See footnotes (2) through (5). Includes an aggregate of 2,387,000 shares of
common stock issuable upon the exercise of warrants and stock options that
are exercisable within 60 days of May 31, 2008.
(8) Includes shares subject to lock-up and vesting provisions. On November 1,
2006, ESP entered into a Redemption, Lock-up and Vesting Agreement (the
"Agreement") with certain shareholders of ESP, including Edward Torres and
Lyle Watkins (collectively, the "Executive"). The purpose of the agreement
was to provide for redemption of a portion of their shares, and to lock-up
the balance of their shares in order to facilitate ESP's ability to raise
capital. According to the Agreement, in consideration for permitting ESP to
redeem and lock-up the shares, ESP conferred piggyback registration rights
to the shares for the Executive as the shares are released from lock-up.
ESP has a right of first refusal to purchase the shares covered by the
Agreement. This right specifies that before there can be any valid sale or
transfer of any of the shares by the Executive, the Executive must first
offer his shares to ESP. The Executive has agreed that he will not directly
or indirectly sell or otherwise transfer or dispose of any of the shares
during the lock-up period. Furthermore, during the Executive's employment
with ESP, he has agreed that he will not sell, transfer, or assign more
than 8% of the released shares per month. Similarly, the Executive has also
agreed that after the termination of his employment with ESP for any
reason, he will not sell, transfer or assign more than 4% of the released
shares per month. If, however, the Executive is terminated for cause, all
unvested shares on the date of such termination will immediately be
cancelled. The following table lists the number of shares subject to
lock-up and the scheduled release dates:

SELLING SECURITY HOLDERS
An aggregate of 12,402,637 shares of common stock issuable upon the
exercise of the Warrants may be offered for sale and sold pursuant to this
prospectus by the selling security holders. The shares of common stock are to be
offered by and for the respective accounts of the selling security holders. We
have agreed to register all of the shares of common stock issuable upon the
exercise of the Warrants under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the
"Securities Act") for resale by the selling security holders and to pay all of
the expenses in connection with such registration and sale of the common stock
issuable upon the exercise of the Warrants, other than underwriting discounts
and selling commissions and the fees and expenses of counsel and other advisors
to the selling security holders.
The following table sets forth, with respect to each selling security
holder (i) the number of shares of common stock beneficially owned as of May 31,
2008 and prior to the offering contemplated hereby, (ii) the maximum number of
shares of common stock which may be sold by the selling security holder upon the
exercise of Warrants under this prospectus, and (iii) the number of shares of
common stock which will be beneficially owned after the offering by the selling
security holder. The selling security holders may own additional shares held in
street name which are not reflected in the following table. The percentage
ownership set forth below is based upon 62,760,516 shares outstanding, which
includes 12,402,637 shares issuable upon the exercise of the Warrants.
None of the selling security holders has had any material relationship
with us within the past three years, except as noted in the notes to the
following table. Because the selling security holders may sell all or part of
their shares, no estimates can be given as to the number of shares that will be
held by any selling security holder upon termination of any offering made by
this prospectus. See "Plan of Distribution."
Pursuant to Rule 416 under the Securities Act, the selling security
holders may offer and sell shares issued with respect to the Warrants as a
result of (i) stock splits, stock dividends or similar transactions and (ii) the
effect of antidilution provisions contained in the Warrants. This is not
intended to constitute a prediction as to the number of shares into which the
Warrants will be exercised.

DESCRIPTION OF SECURITIES
COMMON STOCK
The holders of our common stock are entitled to one vote per share held
of record on all matters submitted to a vote of shareholders. The holders of
common stock do not have cumulative voting rights in the election of directors.
Accordingly, the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of common stock
entitled to vote in any election of directors may elect all of the directors
standing for election. Subject to preferential rights with respect to any series
of preferred stock that may be issued, holders of the common stock are entitled
to receive ratably such dividends as may be declared by the board of directors
on the common stock out of funds legally available therefore and, in the event
of a liquidation, dissolution or winding-up of our affairs, are entitled to
share equally and ratably in all of our remaining assets and funds.
PREFERRED STOCK
The Board of Directors has the authority, without further action by the
stockholders, to issue up to 1,000,000 shares of preferred stock, $0.01 par
value per share, in one or more series and to fix the rights, preferences,
privileges and restrictions of the preferred stock, including dividend rights,
conversion rights, voting rights, terms of redemption, liquidation preferences,
sinking fund terms and the number of shares constituting any series or the
designation of such series, without further vote or action by stockholders. The
issuance of preferred stock could adversely affect the voting power of holders
of common stock and the likelihood that such holders will receive dividend
payments and payments upon liquidation. The issuance of preferred stock could
also have the effect of delaying, deferring or preventing a change in control of
ESP.
STOCK AND INCENTIVE PLANS
On or about April 28, 2008, the Board of Directors of ESP approved the
2008 ESP Stock and Incentive Plan (the "2008 Plan") for directors, officers,
employees, and consultants to ESP. We anticipate that our shareholders will
ratify the 2008 on or before April 28, 2009. As of May 31, 2008, we had
outstanding options under the 2008 Plan to purchase approximately 400,000 shares
of our common stock, with a weighted average exercise price of $0.10 per share.

EFFECT OF THE CALIFORNIA CORPORATIONS CODE
The California Corporations Code includes provisions designed to apply
certain aspects of California law to corporations organized outside California
where, in general, such corporations are doing more than 50% of their business
in California and have more than 50% of their outstanding voting securities held
of record by persons residing in California (the "California Test"). These
provisions, which are generally more restrictive than their counterparts under
Nevada law, currently apply to ESP.
Among the provisions of the California law which will apply are
limitations on corporate dividends and other distributions and rights of
stockholders to cumulate votes in the election of directors. Numerous other
provisions which are listed in Section 2115 of the California General
Corporation Law could also apply. In some cases, these provisions are in
conflict with the laws of Nevada. The following summarizes some of the principal
differences which could apply to ESP:
Under both Nevada and California law, cumulative voting for the
election of directors is permitted. However, under Nevada law cumulative voting
must be expressly authorized in the Certificate of Incorporation. Both Nevada
and California law allow a classified Board of Directors, however, Nevada law
requires that it be authorized in the Certificate of Incorporation or the
Bylaws. California law does not permit staggered classes for smaller
corporations, such as ESP, and directors must be elected at each annual meeting
of stockholders. Under Nevada law, the Certificate of Incorporation or Bylaws
may limit the removal of directors for cause only, while under California law,
stockholders may remove directors without cause. Pursuant to Nevada law, the
directors may amend the Bylaws to change the number of authorized directors.
Under California law, subject to limited circumstances, any amendment to the
Bylaws changing the number of authorized directors requires stockholder
approval.
Under Nevada law, a director is obligated to discharge his or her
duties in good faith and to inform himself or herself about all material
information reasonably available to him or her before making a business
decision. Pursuant to California law, a director is obligated to discharge his
or her duties in good faith, and to exercise such care, including reasonable
inquiry, as an ordinarily prudent person in a similar position would use under
similar circumstances. Whereas California law specifically prohibits a
corporation from limiting or eliminating a director's liability for reckless
disregard or abdication of these duties, Nevada Law contains no such
prohibition.
California law also requires stockholder approval for certain
sale-of-assets and stock-for-stock reorganizations, whereas Nevada law does not
require such approval. Nevada law permits the payment of dividends from paid-in
and earned surplus or redemption of shares from earned, paid-in or reduction
surplus. Under California law, any such distributions cannot be made unless
retained earnings equals or exceeds the amount of the distributions, if, after
giving effect to the distribution, the corporation's tangible assets are less

PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION
The shares of common stock offered hereby may be sold from time to time
by the selling security holders for their own accounts. We will receive none of
the proceeds from this offering. We will bear substantially all costs and
expenses incident to the offering and sale of the shares to the public,
including legal fees and disbursements of counsel, "blue sky" expenses,
accounting fees and filing fees, but excluding any brokerage commissions,
discounts or similar charges. Resale of the shares by the selling security
holders are not subject to any underwriting agreement. The shares of common
stock covered by this prospectus may be sold by the selling security holders or
by their permitted pledgees, donees, transferees, beneficiaries, distributees or
successors-in-interest selling shares received after the date of this prospectus
from a selling stockholder as a gift, pledge, partnership distribution or other
non-sale related transfer. In addition, certain of the selling security holders
are corporations or partnerships which may, in the future, distribute their
shares to their stockholders or partners, respectively. Those shares may later
be sold by those stockholders or partners. The selling security holders will act
independently of us in making decisions with respect to the timing, manner and
size of each sale. The shares offered by each selling stockholder may be sold
from time to time:
o at market prices prevailing at the time of sale,
o at prices relating to such prevailing market prices, or
o at negotiated prices.
Such sales may be effected in the over-the-counter market, on the
Nasdaq Capital Market, or on any exchange on which the shares may then be
listed. We will supply the selling security holders with reasonable quantities
of this prospectus. The shares may be sold by one or more of the following:
o one or more block trades in which a broker or dealer so engaged will
attempt to sell all or a portion of the shares held by the selling
security holders as agent but may position and resell a portion of the
block as principal to facilitate the transaction;
o purchases by a broker or dealer as principal and resale by such broker
or dealer for its account pursuant to this prospectus;
o ordinary brokerage transactions and transactions in which the broker
solicits purchasers;
o in negotiated transactions; and
o through other means.
To the extent permitted by law, the selling security holders may enter
into hedging transactions when selling the shares. For example, the selling
security holders may:
o sell shares short and redeliver such shares to close out their short
positions;
o enter into transactions involving short sales by the brokers or
dealers;
o enter into option or other types of transactions that require the
selling security holders to deliver shares to a broker or dealer, who
then resells or transfer the shares under this prospectus; or
o loan or pledge the shares to a broker or dealer, who may sell the
loaned shares or, in the event of default, sell the pledged shares.
There is no assurance that any of the selling security holders will
sell any or all of the shares offered by them.
The selling security holders may effect sales through customary
brokerage channels, either through broker-dealers acting as agents or brokers,
or through broker-dealers acting as principals, who may then resell the shares,
or at private sales or otherwise, at market prices prevailing at the time of
sale, at prices related to such prevailing market prices or at negotiated
prices. The selling security holders may effect such transactions by selling
shares to or through broker-dealers, and such broker-dealers may receive
compensation in the form of underwriting discounts, concessions, commissions or
fees from the selling security holders and/or purchasers of the shares for whom
such broker-dealers may act as agent or to whom they sell as principal, or both
(which compensation to a particular broker-dealer might be in excess of
customary commissions). The selling security holders may further agree to
indemnify any broker-dealer or agent against certain liabilities related to the
selling of the common stock, including liabilities arising under the Securities
Act of 1933. Any broker-dealers that participate with the selling security
holders in the distribution of the shares may be deemed to be underwriters, and
any commissions received by them and any profit on the resale of the shares
positioned by them might be deemed to be underwriting compensation, within the
meaning of the Securities Act of 1933, in connection with such sales. To the
extent required, this prospectus may be amended or supplemented from time to
time to describe a specific plan of distribution.
Any shares covered by the prospectus that qualify for resale pursuant
to Rule 144 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, may be sold under Rule
144 rather than pursuant to this prospectus. In addition to selling the shares
-36-
of common stock, the selling security holders may transfer the shares by gift,
distribution or other transfer not involving market makers or established
trading markets.
LEGAL MATTERS
The validity of the issuance of the shares of common stock covered by
this prospectus will be passed upon for us by Richardson & Associates, special
counsel to ESP.

by Chang G. Park, CPA, PH. D., Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm.,
independent registered public accounting firm, as indicated in their report with
respect thereto, and are included herein in reliance upon the authority of said

CHANGES IN ACCOUNTANTS
On April 28, 2008, we engaged Stan J.H. Lee, CPA, CMA ("New
Accountant") to audit and review our financial statements for the fiscal year
ending December 31, 2007. The New Accountant has been engaged for general audit
and review services and not because of any particular transaction or accounting
principle, to replace our former accountant, Chang G. Park, CPA, Ph. D. (the
"Former Accountant").
Prior to engaging the New Accountant, we had not consulted the New
Accountant regarding the application of accounting principles to a specified
transaction, completed or proposed, the type of audit opinion that might be
rendered on our financial statements or a reportable event, nor did we consult
with the New Accountant regarding any disagreements with our prior auditor on
any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement
disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure, which disagreements, if not resolved
to the satisfaction of the prior auditor, would have caused it to make reference
to the subject matter of the disagreements in connection with its reports.
The Former Accountant was not re-engaged effective April 28, 2008. The
Former Accountant's reports on our financial statements during its past two
fiscal years did not contain an adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion, nor
was it modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principles, except
for a going concern qualification contained in its audit reports for the fiscal
years ending December 31, 2005 and December 31, 2006. The going concern
qualification stated as follows: "The consolidated financial statements have
been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As
discussed in Note 2 to the financial statements, the Company's losses from
operations raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going
concern. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might
result from the outcome of this uncertainty."
The decision to change accountants, which involved dismissing the
Former Accountant and engaging the New Accountant, was recommended by our Audit
Committee Chairperson and approved by our Board of Directors on April 28, 2008.
We do not currently have a disagreement with the Former Accountant with respect
to our financial statements. We do not currently have a disagreement with the
Former Accountant with respect to our financial statements on any matter of
accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing
scope or procedure.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
TO THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS AND STOCKHOLDERS
ENVIRONMENTAL SERVICE PROFESSIONALS, INC.
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of Environmental
Service Professionals, Inc. and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2007 and the
related consolidated statements of operations, changes in shareholders' equity
and cash flows for the year ended at December 31, 2007. These consolidated
financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our
responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial
statements based on our audit.
We conducted our audit 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. 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, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present
fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of
Environmental Service Professionals, Inc. and subsidiaries as of December 31,
2007, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the year ended
December 31, 2007 in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting
principles.
The consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the
Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 15 to the
consolidated financial statements, the Company's losses from operations raise
substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. The
consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might
result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

validate their eligibility and specifically verify what training,
certifications and equipment the contractor currently has. The
applicant must show that they are in good standing. Based on this
verification. The contractor must obtain the required instruction and
equipment to operate ESP's proprietary on-line systems and to deliver
the Program of services. There is a fee to the contractor to receive
this equipment and instruction. If the applicant has obtained certain
certifications and or equipment prior to applying, there may be
discounts to the fee amount charged. The contractor can either purchase
the sampling kit from ESP or preferably order it directly from the
supplier.

status, they must execute a standardized independent contractor
agreement.

NOTE 14. INCOME TAXES
Income taxes are provided in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards No. 109 (SFAS 109), Accounting for Income Taxes. A deferred tax asset

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
AS OF DECEMBER 31, 2007 AND 2006
NOTE 14. INCOME TAXES - CONTINUED
The net operating loss expires twenty years from the date the loss was incurred.
The retained earning balance includes accumulated comprehensive income (loss).
In accordance with SFAS 109 paragraph 18 the Company has reduced its deferred
tax benefit asset by a valuation allowance due to negative evidence that has
caused the Company to feel it is more likely than not that some portion or all
of the deferred tax asset will not be realized. No portion of the valuation
allowance will be allocated to reduce goodwill or other concurrent intangible
asset of an acquired entity. There are no temporary differences or carryforward
tax effects that would significantly affect the Companies deferred tax asset.
Utilization of the net operating losses and credit carryforwards may be subject
to a substantial annual limitation due to the "change in ownership" provisions
of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986. The annual limitation may result in the
expiration of net operating losses and credits before utilization. None of the
valuation allowance recognized was allocated to reduce goodwill or other
noncurrent intangible assets of an acquired entity or directly to contribute
capital.
NOTE 15. GOING CONCERN
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming
that the Company will continue as a going concern. The Company generated net
losses of $21,468,106 during the period from September 29, 1992 (inception)
through December 31, 2007. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the
Company's ability to continue as a going concern. The Company's continuation as
a going concern is dependent on its ability to meet its obligations, to obtain
additional financing as may be required and ultimately to attain profitability.
The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might
result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
Management plans to raise additional funds through debt or equity offerings.
Management has yet to decide what type of offering the Company will use or how
much capital the Company will raise. There is no guarantee that the Company will
be able to raise any capital through any type of offerings.

deficiencies. With an extension, the First Amended Complaint was filed on March
27, 2007. Subsequently, this First Amended Compliant was rejected as was the
Second Amended Complaint. On April 4, 2008 a hearing for a Third Amended
Complaint was held before the court and the Company was granted all submitted
demurrers and Motions to Strike. On April 25, 2008, Cooley submitted a Fourth
Amended Complaint. A tentative hearing date has been set for May 30, 2008. As of

NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
AS OF MARCH 31, 2008
NOTE 1 - CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
The accompanying March 31, 2008 condensed consolidated financial statements have
been prepared by the Company without audit. In the opinion of management, all
adjustments (which include only normal recurring adjustments) necessary to
present fairly the financial position, results of operations and cash flows at
March 31, 2008 and for all periods presented have been made.
Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial
statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted
in the United States of America have been condensed or omitted. It is suggested
that these condensed consolidated financial statements be read in conjunction
with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the
Company's December 31, 2007 audited consolidated financial statements. The
results of operations for the three months period ended March 31, 2008 are not
necessarily indicative of the operating results for the full years.
NOTE 2 - GOING CONCERN
The Company's condensed consolidated financial statements are prepared using
generally accepted accounting principles applicable to a going concern, which
contemplates the realization of assets and liquidation of liabilities in the
normal course of business. The accompanying condensed consolidated financial
statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and
classification of liabilities that might result from the outcome of this
uncertainty. It is management's intention to seek additional operating funds
through operations, and debt or equity offerings. Management has yet to decide
what type of offering the Company will use or how much capital will be raised by
the Company. There is no guarantee that the Company will be able to raise any
capital through any type of offerings.
NOTE 3 - ORGANIZATION AND DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS
Environmental Service Professionals, Inc. ("ESP" or the "Company") is a Nevada
corporation headquartered in Southern California. Management believes that ESP
is the first company in the moisture inspection industry vertical to become a
publicly traded company.
Since 2006 ESP has embarked on a strategy to acquire businesses dealing with
environmental issues and resolving environmentally sensitive problems. The
Company has completed four acquisitions and is in various stages of discussion
with additional companies that management believes are a good philosophical,
operational and economic fit with the Company. Of the current companies
targeted, management anticipates that some will be freestanding subsidiaries and
others will be absorbed into existing operations.
ESP offers various inspection services for addressing mold and moisture
intrusion that can have an acute or chronic negative impact on the indoor air
quality of commercial and residential buildings.

NOTE 3 - ORGANIZATION AND DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS - CONTINUED
Environmental Safeguard Professionals, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary
("Safeguard"), has developed a standardized training, certification, inspection,

1,000,000 shares of the Company's common stock, of which 500,000 warrants are

Effective May 1, 2008, Environmental Service Professionals, Inc., a Nevada
corporation (the "Company" or the "Borrower") entered into a Loan and Security
Agreement (the "Agreement") with Siena Investment Resources, LLC, a Nevada
limited liability company (the "Lender"). Pursuant to the terms of the
Agreement, the Lender agreed to make a loan to the Borrower in the principal sum
of up to ten million dollars ($10,000,000) to be evidenced by a secured
convertible promissory note. Each Note will bear interest at the simple rate of
10% per annum. Interest will be pre-payable in advance for each year after each
Closing and thereafter on each anniversary date of each Closing during the term
of a Note, unless and to the extent that Note is converted into the Borrower's
equity securities. Any interest not paid when due will be added to the principal
and will thereafter bear like interest as the principal of the Note. Unless a
Note is earlier converted into equity securities of the Borrower as provided in
the Note, on April 30, 2011 (the "Maturity Date"), the entire outstanding
principal balance of the Note, all accrued and unpaid interest thereon, if any,
and all other monetary obligations will be due and payable by the Company to the
Lender.
The Lender will have the right at any time until the Maturity Date, provided the
Lender gives the Borrower written notice of the Lender's election to convert
prior to any prepayment of a Note by the Borrower with respect to converting
that portion of the Note covered by the prepayment, to convert all or any
portion of up to 20% of the outstanding principal and accrued interest (the
"Conversion Amount"), into such number of fully paid and nonassessable shares of
the Borrower's common stock as is determined by dividing the
F-27

NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
AS OF MARCH 31, 2008
NOTE 6 - SUBSEQUENT EVENTS - CONTINUED
Conversion Amount by fifty-eight cents ($0.58). For each share of Borrower's

a purchase price of $0.75 per share for a period of three years from the date of
the issuance of the warrant.

ITEM 14. INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS
Under Nevada General Corporation Law and our Articles of Incorporation,
our directors will have no personal liability to us or our shareholders for
monetary damages incurred as the result of the breach or alleged breach by a
director of his "duty of care." This provision does not apply to the directors'
(i) acts or omissions that involve intentional misconduct or a knowing and
culpable violation of law, (ii) acts or omissions that a director believes to be
contrary to the best interests of the corporation or its shareholders or that
involve the absence of good faith on the part of the director, (iii) approval of
any transaction from which a director derives an improper personal benefit, (iv)
acts or omissions that show a reckless disregard for the director's duty to the
corporation of its shareholders in circumstances in which the director was
aware, or should have been aware, in the ordinary course of performing a
director's duties, of a risk of serious injury to the corporation or its
shareholders, (v) acts or omissions that constitute an unexcused pattern of
inattention that amounts to an abdication of the director's duty to the
corporation or its shareholders, or (vi) approval of an unlawful dividend,
distribution, stock repurchase or redemption. This provision would generally
absolve directors of personal liability for negligence in the performance of
duties including gross negligence.
Insofar as an indemnification for liabilities arising under the
Securities Act may be permitted for directors, officers or persons controlling
us pursuant to the foregoing provisions, we have been informed that in the
opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") each indemnification
is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is therefore
unenforceable.

ITEM 17. UNDERTAKINGS
The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes to:
(a)(1) File, during any period in which it offers or sells securities,
a post-effective amendment to this registration statement:
(i) To include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of
the Securities Act;
(ii) To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events which,
individually or together, represent a fundamental change in the information in
the registration statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or
decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of
securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation
from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range may be
reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule
424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more
than a 20 percent change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in
the "Calculation of Registration Fee" table in the effective registration
statement;
(iii) To include any additional or changed material
information on the plan of distribution.
(2) For determining liability under the Securities Act, each
post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement of
the securities offered, and the offering of the securities at that time shall be
deemed to be the initial bona fide offering.
(3) File a post-effective amendment to remove from registration any of
the securities that remain unsold at the end of the offering.
(4) For determining liability of the undersigned registrant under the
Securities Act to any purchaser in the initial distribution of the securities,
the undersigned registrant undertakes that in a primary offering of securities
of the undersigned registrant pursuant to this registration statement,
regardless of the underwriting method used to sell the securities to the
purchaser, if the securities are offered or sold to such purchaser by means of
any of the following communications, the undersigned registrant will be a seller
to the purchaser and will be considered to offer or sell such securities to such
purchaser:
(i) Any preliminary prospectus or prospectus of the
undersigned registrant relating to the offering required to be filed pursuant
to Rule 424;
(ii) Any free writing prospectus relating to the offering
prepared by or on behalf of the undersigned registrant or used or referred to by
the undersigned registrant;
(iii) The portion of any other free writing prospectus
relating to the offering containing material information about the undersigned
registrant or its securities provided by or on behalf of the undersigned
registrant; and
(iv) Any other communication that is an offer in the offering
made by the undersigned registrant to the purchaser.
(b) Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the
Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons
of the registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the
registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange
Commission 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, the
registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been
settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction
-II-4-
the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as
expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication
of such issue.
(c) That, for the purpose of determining liability under the Securities
Act to any purchaser:
(1) If the registrant is relying on Rule 430B:
(i) Each prospectus filed by the undersigned registrant
pursuant to Rule 424(b)(3) shall be deemed to be part of the registration
statement as of the date the filed prospectus was deemed part of and included in
the registration statement; and
(ii) Each prospectus required to be filed pursuant to Rule
424(b)(2), (b)(5), or (b)(7) as part of a registration statement in reliance on
Rule 430B relating to an offering made pursuant to Rule 415(a)(1)(i), (vii), or
(x) for the purpose of providing the information required by section 10(a) of
the Securities Act shall be deemed to be part of and included in the
registration statement as of the earlier of the date such form of prospectus is
first used after effectiveness or the date of the first contract of sale of
securities in the offering described in the prospectus. As provided in Rule
430B, for liability purposes of the issuer and any person that is at that date
an underwriter, such date shall be deemed to be a new effective date of the
registration statement relating to the securities in the registration statement
to which that prospectus relates, and the offering of such securities at that
time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof. provided,
however, that no statement made in a registration statement or prospectus that
is part of the registration statement or made in a document incorporated or
deemed incorporated by reference into the registration statement or prospectus
that is part of the registration statement will, as to a purchaser with a time
of contract of sale prior to such effective date, supersede or modify any
statement that was made in the registration statement or prospectus that was
part of the registration statement or made in any such document immediately
prior to such effective date; or
(2) If the registrant is subject to Rule 430C,
Each prospectus filed pursuant to Rule 424(b) as part of a registration
statement relating to an offering, other than registration statements relying on
Rule 430B or other than prospectuses filed in reliance on Rule 430A, shall be
deemed to be part of and included in the registration statement as of the date
it is first used after effectiveness. Provided, however, that no statement made
in a registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration
statement or made in a document incorporated or deemed incorporated by reference
into the registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration
statement will, as to a purchaser with a time of contract of sale prior to such
first use, supersede or modify any statement that was made in the registration
statement or prospectus that was part of the registration statement or made in
any such document immediately prior to such date of first use.
