SUMMARY
This Memorandum contains forward-looking statements that involve risks and
uncertainties. The Company's actual results may differ significantly from the
results discussed in such forward-looking statements. Factors that might cause
differences include, but are not limited to, those discussed in "Risk Factors."
The Company
Eastern Services Holdings, Inc. ("Sastern Services" or the "Company") was
incorporated as a Delaware Corporation on November 5, 2004. It was incorporated
as a holding vehicle that would own and control distribution companies. On

business development and general corporate purposes.
Restriction on Resale................. None of the Shares offered will be registered under the Securities Act and

or an opinion of counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Company is received that
registration is not required under the Securities Act. Absent registration, the
Shares may only be sold pursuant to Rule 144 of the Securities Act of 1933, as
amended, or any other available exemption.
In addition, each investor will be required to agree in his or her Subscription

Expenses................................... All prospective purchasers of the Shares will be responsible for their own costs,
fees and expenses, including the costs, fees and expenses of their legal counsel

RISK FACTORS
The Shares offered are highly speculative in nature, involve a high degree of
risk and should be purchased only by persons who can afford to lose their entire
investment. Accordingly, prospective investors should carefully consider, along
with other matters referred to in this document, the following risk factors in
evaluating the Company and its business before purchasing any Shares. This
Memorandum contains forward-looking statements which involve risks and
uncertainties. The Company's actual results could differ materially from those
anticipated in these forward-looking statements as a result of certain factors,
including those set forth in the following risk factors and elsewhere in this
Memorandum.
Need for Additional Financing
The Company will not be able to execute its business plan without obtaining
additional financing in the near future in addition to the financing
contemplated by this offering. If additional financing is not available or
obtainable, investors may lose a substantial portion or all of their investment.
Other than this offering, completion of which cannot be assured, the Company has
no immediate means for obtaining additional financing. There can be no assurance
that such additional financing, when necessary, will be available to the Company
on acceptable terms, or at all.
Limited Operating History, Risks of a New Business Venture
The Company was incorporated on November 5, 2004 and to date has been involved
primarily in organizational and development activities and has had no revenue.
Potential investors should be aware of the difficulties normally encountered by
a new enterprise and the high rate of failure of such enterprises. The
likelihood of success must be considered in light of the problems, expenses,
difficulties complications and delays encountered in connection with the
development of a business in the areas in which the Company intends to operate
and in connection with the formation and commencement of operations of a new
business in general. There is limited history upon which to base any assumption
as to the likelihood that the Company will prove successful, and there can be no
assurance that the Company will generate significant operating revenues or ever
achieve profitable operations. See "Use of Proceeds" and "Business".
No Dividends
Payment of dividends on the Common Stock is within the discretion of the Board
of Directors and will depend upon the Company's future earnings, its capital
requirements, financial condition and other relevant factors. The Company has no
plan to declare any dividends in the foreseeable future.
Offering Price
The Company arbitrarily determined the offering price of the Shares. Among the
factors considered in determining this price were the current immediate needs of
the Company, its uncertain prospects, the backgrounds of the directors and the
current condition of the financial markets. There is, however, no relationship
whatsoever between the issue price and the Company's assets, earnings, book
value or any other objective criteria of value.
There is no market for the Company's common stock.
There is no market for the Company's common stock and there is no assurance that
a market will develop. Purchasers of the Shares must be prepared to hold their
shares and be able to bear the economic risks of their investment for an
indefinite period of time. The Shares have not been registered under the Act or
the securities laws of any state. The Company is under no obligation to register
the Shares. There can be no assurance that a market or purchasers for the Shares
will be available.
Forward Looking Assessments Prepared by the Current Management of the Company
The ability of the Company to accomplish its objectives, and whether or not the
Company will be financially successful is dependent upon numerous factors, each
of which could have a material effect on the results obtained. Some of these
factors are in the discretion and control of management and others are beyond
management's control. The assumptions and hypothesis used in preparing any
forward-looking assessments of profitability contained herein are considered
reasonable by management. There can be no assurance, however, that any
projections or assessments contained herein or otherwise made by management will
be realized or achieved at any level. Prospective investors should have this
Disclosure Statement reviewed by their personal investment advisors, legal
counsel and/or accountants to properly evaluate the risks and contingencies of
this offering.
Best Efforts Offering
There can be no assurance that this Offering will be completely sold. If less
than the maximum proceeds are available to the Company, the Company's
development and prospects could be adversely affected. There is no minimum
number of Shares to be sold in this Offering. Therefore, the proceeds received
from this Offering, even though insufficient, may be immediately used by the
Company according to its business needs.
Availability of Exemptions from Registrations.
The Shares that we are offering have not been registered under the Securities
Act or the securities laws of the jurisdictions in which they are proposed to be
offered and sold in reliance upon certain claimed exemptions. The claimed
exemption from United States federal registration is complex, and it is often
difficult to determine whether a purchaser has fully complied with its terms. In
addition, exemption from registration under U.S. state securities laws
frequently depends upon the availability of exemptions from federal
registration. If for any reason we are subject to civil liability, and/or the
legal expense of defending an action or proceeding challenging the availability
to us of such exemptions, our business could be materially and adversely
affected.
The Price of the Shares after this Offering May Be Lower than the Price You Pay.
Prior to this Offering there has been, and following this Offering there will
be, no public market for the Common Stock. An active trading market in the
Common Stock will not develop as a result of this Offering. If you purchase
Shares in this Offering, you will pay a price that was not established in a
competitive market. The price for the Shares in this Offering is not necessarily
related to our assets, book value, historic results of operations or other
established criteria of value, and may not be indicative of the fair value of
the Shares. The price of the Shares that will prevail in any market that may
develop after this Offering may be higher or lower than the price you pay.
We Will Have Broad Discretion Is Using the Proceeds from this Offering.
Although we have identified generally in this Memorandum how we expect to use
the proceeds from this Offering, we will have broad discretion in determining
the specific uses of the proceeds. You will not have the opportunity to evaluate
the economic, financial or other information on which we base our decisions on
how to use the proceeds.
Limited State Qualifications of Shares Being Offered.
The Shares offered are intended to be qualified or exempt for sale only in a
limited number of states. Purchasers of the Shares may move to jurisdictions in
which the Shares are not so qualified or exempt. No assurances can be given that
the Company will be able to effect any required qualification or that any
exemption will be available permitting a purchaser to sell his Shares, and, as a
result, such Shares may be required to be held indefinitely.
USE OF PROCEEDS
The proceeds to the Company from the sale of the Shares will be approximately
$40,000 US if the maximum number of Shares is sold. Such proceeds will be
utilized for the following purposes:
DESCRIPTION AMOUNT
=========== ========
Expenses related to the Company's Offering $ 10,000
Working Capital and General Corporate Purposes $ 30,000
--------
TOTAL $ 40,000
========
The actual use of the proceeds of this Offering may differ substantially from
this estimate. Actual expenditures will be made according to decisions of the
Company's board of directors made in the best interests of advancing the
business of the Company. The actual expenditures will also vary from the
estimated use of proceeds if less than all of the Shares are sold.
The Company anticipates that the net proceeds from the Offering will be
sufficient to meet its financial requirements for only a short period of time.
The Company, therefore, will require substantial additional capital to fund its
contemplated business plan in the near future.
The Company anticipates that expenses associated with the Offering will be
nominal.
DIVIDENDS
To date, the Company has paid no dividends on any shares of its Common Stock and
has no present intention of paying any dividends on its Common Stock in the
foreseeable future. The payment by the Company of dividends on the Common Stock
in the future, if any, rests solely within the discretion of the Company's board
of directors and will depend upon, among other things, the Company's earnings,
capital requirements and financial condition, as well as other factors deemed
relevant by the Company's board of directors. Although dividends are not limited
currently by any agreements, it is anticipated that future agreements, if any,
with institutional lenders or others may limit the Company's ability to pay
dividends on its Common Stock.
BUSINESS
Our subsidiary, Eastern Services Group, Inc., was established in the State of
Nevada in February 1998. The Company provides state and local tax consultation
and analysis to casinos in the Las Vegas metropolitan area. The Company does not
provide filing services.
The core services suite provided by the Company is traditional tax analysis,
preparation, and business consulting services to clients operating casinos in
the Las Vegas, Nevada metropolitan area. The Company concentrates on analysis of
sales and use taxes, real property taxes, personal property tax, as well as
creating welfare benefit trusts.
At competitive prices, the Company works with clients to minimize tax exposure
and ensure that each filing adheres to all areas of local and state laws. With
the highest degree of integrity, the Company conducts preliminary interviews
with clients to ensure a comprehensive analysis and assessment of tax liability
with respect to the specific jurisdiction is provided.
Through in-depth evaluation and assessment, the Company makes significant
recommendations to clients to ensure local and state levied taxes are accurate,
accounting and tax filing procedures afford viable tax savings, and records and
accounts are correctly maintained to prevent unnecessary audits.
The target customers for the Company are hotel casino properties in the gaming
industry throughout Nevada. The Company currently works with more than 20 casino
properties in Las Vegas. Key client relationships include Mandalay Bay Group
(owner of Mandalay Bay, Luxor, Excalibur, and Circus Circus casinos); Coast
Casinos (owner of Barbary Coast, Gold Coast, The Orleans, and Suncoast casinos);
Stations Casinos, and ▇▇▇▇ Gaming Corporation.
Management has honed a successful and profitable business model through past
experiences in this market and an in-depth understanding of the processes
associated with professional tax assessment and analysis service businesses at
the state and local level for casino operations. The Company utilizes
well-qualified appraisal and accounting professionals with an intimate knowledge
of the jurisdiction to minimize error and maximize tax savings for the client;
and therefore, revenues for the Company.
The Company has developed an effective pricing model. Approximately 95% of the
majority of contracts is contingent upon the tax savings incurred as a result of
services rendered by the Company. Typically, the Company receives 50% of the tax
savings resulting directly from the assessment and analysis provided. The
remaining 5% of the total contract is a flat or hourly fee to address
provisional administrative functions associated with the project.
This model translates directly into a more competitively priced but higher
quality, comprehensive service that develops new market opportunities in the
targeted geographic region. Additionally, with an initially narrow geographic
focus, the Company can build a specific niche market and develop a stronger
reputation through specialization in the industry.

INVESTOR QUALIFICATIONS
Prospective investors should consider carefully each of the risks associated

Company, this Offering is available only to investors who have substantial net
worth and no need for liquidity in their investments. The shares will be offered
