The OLB Group, Inc. (OLBG), an e-commerce service provider, develops software and services to assist businesses selling products over the Internet. The Company provides clients with a seamless, end-to-end e-commerce solution, including site creation, hosting, transaction processing, order fulfillment, customer service, and sales reporting, as well as a virtual inventory of name-brand products from the top-selling Internet categories. OLBG offers ShopFast Direct Shopping Database and ShopFast Profit Center, each of which enables the software user to create an Internet e-commerce website and sell products from a database maintained by the Company at a fraction of the cost of building their own e-commerce site from scratch. In addition, OLBG recently launched a health insurance benefit platform which has generated a spike in inquiries from potential clients. The healthcare plan offers Shopfast subscribers and their families affordable health insurance at a cost well below individual health coverage. As a Shopfast distributor, clients qualify for a discounted group rate.

OLBG was incorporated in 1993 and initially provided creative and marketing services, from concept to print, to Fortune 500 companies, including AT&T, Lucent Technologies, Merrill Lynch, Lord Abbott, Reebok and Scholastic. OLBG has since developed a number of branded e-commerce sites for clients selling products such as sporting goods, chocolates and cosmetics, and partners with its customers by providing ongoing hosting and site maintenance. In 1999, OLBG began rolling out a new business model. The Company created an e-commerce infrastructure and a database containing over two million products that provides added value in real time

for its clients.

In August 2009, OLBG announced a joint venture with Leorex Cosmetics Ltd. through which the Company will offer Leorex derma-cosmetic products to its clients for marketing on their e-commerce sites. There is a booming market for cosmetic and health-related services as Americans over the age of 55 will increase by 60% over the next 20 years. Their buying power will exceed $2.5 trillion by 2010. The market for anti-aging products is forecast to reach $115.5 billion by 2010.

Investment Highlights Complete e-commerce solution The Company’s ShopFast Direct Shopping Database and ShopFast Profit Center products enable software customers to create their own Internet e-commerce website and sell products from OLBG’s database. A complete end-to-end e-commerce solution is provided, including site creation, hosting, transaction processing, order fulfillment, customer service and sales reporting. In addition, OLBG provide its clients with a virtual inventory of name-brand products from top-selling categories at preferential wholesale prices. A store owner can create a customized website to sell products from OLBG’s database at a fraction of the cost of building his/her own e-commerce site.

Online sales estimated at $204 billion in 2008 A growing population of Internet users is fueling demand for online services and e-commerce sales. According to Internet World Stats, more than 1.6 billion people worldwide are already using the Internet for email, entertainment and business purposes. E-commerce has become an important part of overall Internet growth.

According to Forrester Research, online retail sales increased 17% in 2008 to top $204 billion. By helping its merchant clients market their products online, OLBG capitalizes on e-commerce trends and profits from this emerging market opportunity.

Health insurance benefit platform enhances subscriber growth OLBG recently added a health insurance benefit platform to the Shopfast offering which has generated a spike in inquiries from potential customers. The healthcare plan offers Shopfast subscribers and their families affordable health insurance at a fraction of the cost of individual health coverage. As a Shopfast distributor, clients qualify for a discounted group rate.

Effective marketing strategy The Company plans to market its offering via infomercials on nationwide cable TV networks and through blast emails of its downloadable software to potential customers. OLBG expects to formally launch its campaign for ShopFast PC software in the fourth quarter of 2009 and ShopFast DSD shortly thereafter. A 30-minute infomercial to promote ShopFast PC is planned, as well as short form two minute commercials. After these The OLB Group, Inc. (OTCOBB: OLBG)

initial activities, OLBG will refine its marketing plan and launch a nationwide television distribution campaign.

Third consecutive quarter of rising revenue Attractively priced e-commerce site development services and steady cash flow from monthly subscription fees should enable OLBG to rapidly build its subscriber base, create a sizable recurring revenue stream and reach profitable operation in a short timeframe.

The Company recently reported its third consecutive quarter of rising revenues and is taking advantage of the increased interest in building a home-based business that has resulted from rising unemployment. A growing number of laid-off workers are exploring opportunities to work from home and start home-based businesses.

Experienced management Ronny Yakov, the Company’s president, has 20 years of graphic arts industry experience, including extensive experience in electronic pre-press and desktop publishing, as well as electronic mail-order catalogs. His clients have included Fortune 500 companies. Mr. Yakov is a serial entrepreneur and launched two other successful business ventures prior to founding OLB Group.

Business Model The Company is developing software products and related services that help businesses sell products over the Internet. OLBG’s software enables e-commerce merchants to leverage the Company’s established e-commerce resources and support services and benefits from economies of scale and cost efficiencies across the entire e-commerce process.

OLBG offers two software products: ShopFast Direct Shopping Database (ShopFast DSD), and ShopFast Profit Center (ShopFast PC). Each product guides the user in creating an e-commerce website and sell products from a database maintained by OLBG. Merchants can create a customized website, designed to their own specifications, and sell products from OLBG`s database at a fraction of the cost of building their own e-commerce site from scratch. The store owner can customize his site with logos, a unique layout or other features.

The Company is in the process of quality assurance testing its re-developed ShopFast DSD software, which is based on a different design platform than the prior versions, allowing it to operate faster and be compatible with all computer operating systems that fully support Internet Explorer 5.0 or higher. In addition, OLBG is redesigning ShopFast PC so that the so-called “Internet Storefront” can be designed by a client with little computer expertise and without help from OLBG. ShopFast PC software and the related services will be priced between $19.95 and $59.95. The continuing services OLBG provides, including maintenance of the OLBG database and order processing, will be available for an additional monthly fee, ranging from a minimum of $9.95 to up to $49.95, depending on the level of services required. ShopFast DSD is customized for each client so the Company negotiates the price of the ShopFast DSD software and related services and the commission on product sales with each client.

OLBG pays its clients a commission on products sold. The commission is paid once a month and covers products sold by the client in the preceding month. The specific percentage of gross sales paid as commission depends The OLB Group, Inc. (OTCOBB: OLBG)

on the price of the product sold and can range from 2.5% to 60%. Any remaining profits are retained by the Company.

How the OLBG model works

Corporate strategy OLBG does not own the products found on its database or carry a product inventory. The Company plans to expand the number and range of products available on its database by forging agreements with various supply companies. An example is its recently announced joint venture with Leorex Cosmetics Ltd. which will allow Shopfast distributors to offer Leorex “patented� derma-cosmetic products for marketing to their end-users. The Company also intends to expand its existing e-commerce platform and replace some of its existing hardware and servers to accommodate anticipated higher volume of transactions.

Marketing Strategy The Company plans to market its services via infomercials aired on nationwide cable TV networks and through blast emails of its downloadable software. OLBG anticipates formally launching the promotional campaign for ShopFast PC software in the fourth quarter of 2009 and ShopFast DSD shortly thereafter. The campaign will be supported by a 30 minute infomercial promoting ShopFast PC, and several short-form two minute commercials.

The Company will then refine its marketing plan based on returns on media expenditures and roll out a nationwide television distribution campaign.

Ordering Process A visitor to a client’s branded shopping site is presented with categories of merchandise from which to choose.

The site provides the customer with entertaining and informative multi-media product presentations which encourage the customer to purchase products on-line. Order fulfillment and customer service are provided under the client’s brand name. OLBG remains invisible to the site user. A typical order will be processed as follows: The client’s customer places the order on the Internet Storefront and pay for it by providing his or her credit card information on the Internet Storefront. Once the order is placed, the Company automatically receives a copy of the order electronically, and the funds from the credit card payment are paid directly to OLBG. The Company then purchases the ordered product from the supplier and arranges delivery to the client’s customer. An e-mail is sent to the client’s customer confirming that the order has been placed and providing the approximate date that the order will be shipped. The supplier then provides OLBG with an invoice for the products purchased, which the Company pays.

The Company has installed security hardware that encrypts the data and safeguards the customer data it processes.

By the end of 2009, the U.S. Internet population is expected to reach nearly 200 million users, or 65% of the total population. By 2013, 221 million people will be online, nearly 70% of the population. Daily Internet usage among nearly all demographic groups is climbing. Average time spent online by U.S. adults shot up to 14 hours per week in 2008, compared with 11 hours in 2007. Nearly two-thirds of adults claim they go online every day, the majority for more than one hour1.

E-Commerce Industry Over the past 12 years, the Internet has changed the way people buy and sell goods and services. The e-commerce market is enjoying double-digit growth, sustained by the growing number of Internet users, their increased familiarity with online shopping and by attractive offers. Retailers of many types are enjoying soaring sales via the Internet, and most national retail chains have developed “bricks and clicks� strategies that integrate their online sites with physical stores and catalogs. Many online-only retailers are experiencing rapid growth as consumers embrace the convenience of shopping online2.

Although retail sales growth has slowed in recent months because of the recession, online retail still shows more signs of life than consumer retail as a whole. According to Forrester Research, online retail sales increased 17% in 2008 to $204 billion, with the biggest sellers being clothing, computers and cars.

Amazon and eBay paved the way for today’s e-commerce merchant. Amazon continues to be the largest e-commerce company. According to comScore, Amazon has 60 million visitors on its shopping site currently compared with 50 million a year ago. Amazon runs seven different international Web sites, has distribution and customer service centers in seven countries and employs more than 17,000 people worldwide. By comparison, eBay has 70 million visitors, down from 80.1 million a year ago3.

The U.S. E-Commerce Market E-commerce plays a growing role in the U.S. economy by creating new global business opportunities. The U.S. Census Bureau’s E-Stats report showed that e-commerce grew faster than overall economic activity in three of four major economic sectors. The latest data from the Pew Internet and American Life Project indicate that twothirds of U.S. adults are online shoppers, corresponding to about 134 million purchasers. More than 70% of U.S. households regularly purchase items online in 2009, up from only 47.8% of households in 2000.

The impact of the recession was evident in the drastic slowdown of e-commerce sales in the fourth quarter of 2008, the first ever year-over-year decline in online sales. In the first quarter of 2009, unadjusted U.S. retail e-sales were $30.2 billion.

According to Forrester Research Inc. online retail sales in the U.S. are expected to grow at double digit annual rates for the next five years, reaching $211 billion by 2012. Jupiter Research offered the same figures in its reports, expecting online retail sales in the U.S. to grow approximately $20 billion each year and reach $215 billion by 2012.

E-commerce continues its double-digit year-over-year growth rate in 2009, in part because sales are shifting away from stores and online shoppers are less sensitive to adverse economic conditions than the average U.S. consumer.

As a share of total retail sales, e-commerce sales remain modest—3.2% ($127 billion), up from 2.8% ($107 billion) in 2006. The percentage of retail sales occurring online in the U.S. is expected to more than double from 3% to 6% by 2010.

Online advertising PricewaterhouseCoopers estimates that global advertising spending will rise by 6.2% to $521 billion in 2010.

This year, global spending on online ads will reach $65.2 billion, or about 10% of total advertising spending. The Internet will likely remain the fastest-growing advertising medium; expanding at an 18% CAGR until 2010 and representing nearly 10% of global advertising in 2010 compared with less than 3% in 20024.

Role of the Commerce Service Provider Commerce Service Providers (CSPs) help businesses leverage e-business technologies to boost sales and improve operations. Their services include designing, constructing and operating the client’s web site. CSPs create a lowcost e-commerce solution that helps merchants attract online buyers. By giving their clients access to established e-commerce infrastructure and support services, CSPs create economies of scale and cost efficiencies across the entire e-commerce process.

Growing worldwide Internet use, greater Internet access via wireless devices and high online ordering by consumers is fueling growth in e-commerce services and creating new business opportunities for Commerce Service Providers.

Financial Analysis The Company launched limited quality control test marketing of its ShopFast PC product in fiscal 2008 and recorded modest revenues from product and subscription sales.

OLBG’s revenues grew to $178,256 in the first six months of fiscal 2009. The Company plans to launch the software component of its ShopFast PC product in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2009 and begin generating meaningful revenues from software and subscription sales in 2010.

Valuation The Company is currently distributing its e-commerce site software offering though its web sites for an annual price of $383.52 for ShopFast™ DSD and $519.95 for ShopFast™ PC. Assuming the Company can build a customer base of 30,000 subscribers in 2010, with revenues per subscriber averaging $400, we estimate OLBG can generate $12 million in revenues in 2010.

Since the Company already has the software and technology infrastructure in place to support its subscriber base, the ramp-up in operating profits will be rapid as fixed overhead is spread across a growing list of merchant clients. OLB estimates gross margins on its ShopFast DSD and Shopfast PC businesses could exceed 85%.

Larger e-commerce industry peers were recently trading at forward Price/Sales multiples of 2.6 times revenues.

While we believe OLG Group warrants a discount relative to this peer group due to its early development stage and start-up risks, we think the Company’s low-cost, turnkey e-commerce website services should prove very attractive to potential clients and facilitate rapid expansion in the subscriber base.

We are initiating coverage of OLB Group with a Speculative Buy rating and a $0.52 price target, based on a 2.5 times forward Price/Sales multiple and our 2010 revenue estimate.

Risk Factors Limited operating history The Company is in an early development stage, has a limited operating industry and has no meaningful revenues.

There is no guarantee that OLBG will be able to attract enough customers to generate meaningful sales and profits.

Additional financing to continue operations The Company’s weak liquidity position raise doubts about its ability to continue as going concern. OLBG must obtain additional equity or debt financing to implement its business plan. However, there is no assurance that OLBG will be able to obtain needed financing on favorable terms if at all.

Scalable infrastructure Merchants depend on OLBG to provide a robust, reliable platform for e-commerce sales. Regular upgrades of its hardware and software, along with scalability of network infrastructure are critical for OLBG as it builds its customer base. System breakdowns or slowdowns as e-commerce traffic grows would adversely impact the Company’s growth opportunities.

Internet security regulation The Internet is evolving into a sophisticated place prone to security/data integrity/authenticity and accessibility risks. If the Company is unable to guarantee the security of customer transactions, its business prospects would suffer. Regulations covering e-commerce taxation, data protection and other issues are continuously changing. It is possible future changes could adversely impact the Company’s business.
