OUR BUSINESS
OVERVIEW
We have historically generated our revenues from fees earned by us from
the rental of our Starting Point.com email list, and from fees paid directly by
customers of our Florida Fountain of Youth Spa, an anti-aging day spa located in
Stuart, Florida, which began operations in November 2004. During the fourth
quarter of 2005 we determined to discontinue the operations of the Florida
Fountain of Youth Spa. In December 2005 the Company completed the sale of the
Starting Point.com website and all applicable content, trademarks, databases and
domains.
In addition to Starting Point, we also own Interplanner.com and
InternetChic Marketing. Neither of these web site properties are generating
revenues at this time. Interplanner.com was designed as a free online calendar
and personal information management (PIM) service that offered a comprehensive
set of features, including a personal calendar, group calendars, contact lists,
appointment entry and tracking, and task lists, as well as a variety of content.
Interplanner's original source code and documentation was developed for us by a
third party. We own all intellectual property rights associated with
Interplanner. InternetChic Marketing was a business-to-business marketing
solution provider focused on developing and implementing Internet marketing and
web site traffic building programs for Internet businesses and traditional brick
and mortar companies.
During the current fiscal year the Company reported that as a result of
its two-year effort to research and develop business opportunities in the
Caribbean basin and South America, it is moving forward with two new ventures.
First, the company is engaged in contract negotiations for a property located on
Margarita Island, a Caribbean island of Venezuela, which will serve as its first
micro-resort property. The company intends for the facility to serve as a
destination for high-end vacations, catering to the adults-only market segment.
Second, the Company has entered into a letter of understanding to
acquire Venezuelan-based Corporacion SportAlum C.A. (SportAlum), and will
shortly commence a full due-diligence effort with respect to structuring a
purchase transaction with SportAlum's principals. SportAlum specializes in the
fabrication, sale and installation of sport seating solutions for stadiums,
arenas and other sports and entertainment facilities around the world. Techlabs
expects to enter into definitive purchase agreement by the end of 2006. Further,
the Company has entered into a joint venture agreement with the controlling
shareholder of SportAlum for the import into the United States of aluminum
extrusions in a variety of custom shapes. Techlabs intends to resell the
aluminum extrusions to a variety of companies engaged in the manufacture of home
building materials and products, including window and door frames and
assemblies.

OUR HISTORY
Techlabs, Inc. ("Techlabs") was incorporated in the State of Florida in
May 1998 under the name Coordinated Physician Services, Inc. to organize and
operate primary care physician networks for managed medical care organizations.
In February 1999 the Company abandoned this business due to excessive
competition and changed its name to Techlabs, Inc.
COMPETITION
In the micro-resort segment of the hospitality industry we expect to
compete with both smaller, privately owned properties, as well as major lodging
brands in the regions in which we will operate and which have far greater
resources than our Company. Competition in this market segment is based
primarily on the level of service, quality of accommodations, convenience of
locations, and room rates of each hotel.
With respect to the fabrication, sale and installation of sport seating
solutions for stadiums, arenas and other sports and entertainment facilities,
SportAlum competes with a variety of companies engaged in various segments of
the construction industry, many of whom specialize in the construction of sports
and entertainment facilities. While a majority of these companies operate solely
within the countries where they are domiciled, several have worldwide operations
and thus far greater resources than SportAlum.
INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY
We rely upon a combination of trade secret, copyright and trademark
laws to protect our intellectual property. Except where we have granted third
parties contractual rights to use our intellectual property, we limit access to,
and distribution of, and other proprietary information. However, the steps we
take to protect our intellectual property may not be adequate to deter
misappropriation of our proprietary information. In general, there can be no
assurance that our efforts to protect our intellectual property rights through
copyright, trademark and trade secret laws will be effective to prevent
misappropriation of our intellectual property. Our failure or inability to
protect our proprietary rights could materially adversely affect our business,
financial condition and results of operations.

EMPLOYEES
As of the date of this prospectus, we had one part-time employee, Jayme
Dorrough, our sole officer and director.

RISK FACTORS
An investment in our common stock involves a significant degree of
risk. You should not invest in our common stock unless you can afford to lose
your entire investment. You should consider carefully the following risk factors
and other information in this prospectus before deciding to invest in our common
stock.
WE HAVE A HISTORY OF LOSSES AND AN ACCUMULATED DEFICIT. WE DO NOT
ANTICIPATE THAT WE WILL REPORT ANY SUBSTANTIAL REVENUES OR A PROFIT IN THE
FORESEEABLE FUTURE.
For the year ended December 31, 2005, we reported a net loss of $24,904
and at December 31, 2005 we had an accumulated deficit of $8,451,735. For the
nine months ended September 30, 2006 we reported a net loss of $116,437 and at
September 30, 2006 we had an accumulated deficit of $8,568,172. While a
significant portion of our accumulated losses from inception through September
30, 2006 are non-cash, we have never generated sufficient revenues to offset our
operating costs. The recent sale of Starting Point.com and the discontinuing of
operations of our day spa has resulted in the company not presently having any
ongoing source of revenue. While we continue to seek new business that can be
either acquired or started-up, there exist no assurances that we will be
successful in this regard and that any new business interests will generate
sufficient revenue to meet our operating expenses in future periods. Our
principal stockholder has historically advanced certain funds to us to pay our
expenses, and we believe that it will continue to pay these expenses for us
until such time as we are able to generate sufficient revenues from our own
operations. As a result of the uncertainty surrounding our revenues in the near
future, you should not purchase shares of our common stock based upon our
historical operations or financial results.
4
WE ARE DEPENDENT UPON OUR PRINCIPAL STOCKHOLDER FOR INTERIM CAPITAL.
We have no working capital with which to meet our cash needs, including
the costs of compliance with the continuing reporting requirements of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Our principal stockholder has
agreed to advance any funds necessary to insure that we are able to meet our
reporting obligations under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. However,
Yucatan has not agreed in writing to provide these funds and can only do so to
the extent that it has available funds. No commitments to provide additional
funds have been made by other stockholders or third parties. Accordingly, there
can be no assurances that any funds will be available to us to allow it to cover
our expenses. If we were unable to continue to meet our reporting requirements
under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, our common stock would be delisted
from the OTCBB and there would be no market for our securities.
WE WILL NEED TO RAISE ADDITIONAL CAPITAL.
We will be required to raise additional working capital to fund the
operations of the micro-resort and aluminum import businesses. It has been very
difficult for small companies to raise working capital in the past few years,
and we cannot anticipate if the funding environment in the U.S. or aboard will
improve during 2006 and beyond. Accordingly, we cannot offer any assurances that
if we should need additional capital that it will be available to us on terms
and conditions which are reasonably acceptable, if at all. Depending upon the
financial condition of our ultimate merger or business combination partner, the
lack of sufficient working capital could materially and adversely affect any
revenues we may be able to generate in future periods.
OUR COMMON STOCK IS CURRENTLY QUOTED ON THE OTCBB, BUT TRADING IN OUR
STOCK IS LIMITED.
The market for our common stock is extremely limited, and we do not
anticipate that it there will be any increased liquidity in our common stock
until such time as we consummate a merger or business combination. Even if we
are successful in completing such a transaction, there are no assurances an
active market for our common stock will ever develop. Accordingly, purchasers of
our common stock cannot be assured any liquidity in their investment.
5
BECAUSE OUR STOCK CURRENTLY TRADES BELOW $5.00 PER SHARE, AND IS QUOTED
ON THE OTC BULLETIN BOARD, OUR STOCK IS CONSIDERED A "PENNY STOCK" WHICH CAN
ADVERSELY EFFECT ITS LIQUIDITY.
If the trading price of our common stock remains less than $5.00 per
share, our common stock is considered a "penny stock," and trading in our common
stock is subject to the requirements of Rule 15g-9 under the Securities Exchange
Act of 1934. Under this rule, broker/dealers who recommend low-priced securities
to persons other than established customers and accredited investors must
satisfy special sales practice requirements. The broker/dealer must make an
individualized written suitability determination for the purchaser and receive
the purchaser's written consent prior to the transaction.
SEC regulations also require additional disclosure in connection with
any trades involving a "penny stock," including the delivery, prior to any penny
stock transaction, of a disclosure schedule explaining the penny stock market
and its associated risks. These requirements severely limit the liquidity of
securities in the secondary market because few broker or dealers are likely to
undertake these compliance activities. In addition to the applicability of the
penny stock rules, other risks associated with trading in penny stocks could
also be price fluctuations and the lack of a liquid market.
It is unlikely that our common stock will trade above $5.00 per share
in the foreseeable future, accordingly, any liquidity in the market will be
further hampered by the applicability of the Penny Stock Rules to trading in our
common stock.
PROVISIONS OF OUR ARTICLES OF INCORPORATION AND BYLAWS MAY DELAY OR
PREVENT A TAKE-OVER WHICH MAY NOT BE IN THE BEST INTERESTS OF OUR STOCKHOLDERS.
Provisions of our articles of incorporation and bylaws may be deemed to
have anti-takeover effects, which include when and by whom special meetings of
our stockholders may be called, and may delay, defer or prevent a takeover
attempt. In addition, certain provisions of the Florida Business Corporations
Act also may be deemed to have certain anti-takeover effects which include that
control of shares acquired in excess of certain specified thresholds will not
possess any voting rights unless these voting rights are approved by a majority
of a corporation's disinterested stockholders.
6
In addition, our articles of incorporation authorize the issuance of
shares of preferred stock with such rights and preferences as may be determined
from time to time by our board of directors. Our board of directors may, without
stockholder approval, issue preferred stock with dividends, liquidation,
conversion, voting or other rights that could adversely affect the voting power
or other rights of the holders of our common stock.
SALES BY THE SELLING STOCKHOLDER MAY CAUSE THE MARKET PRICE OF OUR
SHARES TO DECREASE.
It is possible that the selling stockholders will offer all of their
shares for sale. A sale by her of all or substantially all of their shares may
have a depressive effect on the market price of our common stock.
USE OF PROCEEDS
We will not receive any proceeds from the sale of the shares offered
hereby.

persons or parties who may be deemed to be "affiliates" of ours under federal

to an effective registration statement, Rule 144 promulgated under the

SALES BY THE SELLING STOCKHOLDER
The following table sets forth:
- the name of each selling stockholder,
- the number of shares owned, and
- the number of shares being registered for resale by each selling
stockholder.
We may amend or supplement this prospectus from time to time to update
the disclosure set forth in the following table. All of the shares being
registered for resale under this prospectus for the selling stockholder may be
offered hereby. Because the selling stockholders may sell some or all of the
shares owned by them which are included in this prospectus, and because there
are currently no agreements, arrangements or understandings with respect to the
sale of any of the shares, no estimate can be given as to the number of shares
being offered hereby that will be held by the selling stockholders upon
termination of any offering made hereby. We have, therefore, for the purposes of
the following table assumed that the selling stockholders will sell all of the
shares owned by them which are being offered hereby.
Beneficial ownership is determined in accordance with the rules of the
SEC and generally includes voting or investment power with respect to securities
and includes any securities which the person has the right to acquire within 60
days through the conversion or exercise of any security or other right. The
information as to the number of shares of our common stock owned by the selling
stockholder is as of the date of this prospectus.

PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION
The selling stockholders may offer and sell their shares at prevailing
market prices or privately negotiated prices. The selling stockholders may sell
our common stock on the OTC Bulletin Board, or on any securities exchange on
which our common stock is or becomes listed or traded, in negotiated
transactions, at market prices existing at the time of sale, at prices related
to existing market prices, through Rule 144 transactions or at negotiated
prices. Usual and customary or specifically negotiated brokerage fees or
commissions may be paid by the selling stockholders in connection with sales of
securities. The shares will not be sold in an underwritten public offering.
The selling stockholders may sell the securities in one or more of the
following methods:
10
* on the OTC Bulletin Board or on such national securities
exchanges on which our shares may be listed from time-to-time,
in transactions which may include special offerings, exchange
distributions and/or secondary distributions, pursuant to and
in accordance with the rules of such exchanges, including
sales to underwriters who acquire the shares for their own
account and resell them in one or more transactions or through
brokers, acting as an agent; or
* in transactions other than on such national securities
exchanges or on the OTC Bulletin Board, or a combination of
such transactions, including sales through brokers, acting as
an agent, sales in privately negotiated transactions, or
dispositions for value by the selling stockholder, subject to
rules relating to sales by affiliates.
In making sales, brokers or dealers used by the selling stockholders
may arrange for other brokers or dealers to participate. The selling
stockholders, our affiliates and others through whom such securities are sold
may be "underwriters" within the meaning of the Securities Act of 1933 for the
securities offered, and any profits realized or commission received may be
considered underwriting compensation.
At the time a particular offer of the securities is made by or on
behalf of a selling stockholder, to the extent required, a prospectus is
required to be delivered. The prospectus will include the number of shares of
common stock being offered and the terms of the offering, including the name or
names of any underwriters, dealers or agents, the purchase price paid by any
underwriter for the shares of common stock purchased from the selling
stockholder, and any discounts, commissions or concessions allowed or reallowed
or paid to dealers, and the proposed selling price to the public.
We have told the selling stockholders that the anti-manipulative rules
under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, including Regulation M, may apply to
their sales in the market. With certain exceptions, Regulation M precludes the
selling stockholder, any affiliated purchasers and any broker-dealer or other
person who participates in the distribution from bidding
11
for or purchasing, or attempting to induce any person to bid for or purchase any
security which is the subject of the distribution until the entire distribution
is complete. Regulation M also prohibits any bids or purchase made in order to
stabilize the price of a security in connection with an at the market offering
such as this offering. We have provided the selling stockholders with a copy of
these rules. We have also told the selling stockholders of the need for delivery
of copies of this prospectus in connection with any sale of securities that are
registered by this prospectus. All of the foregoing may affect the marketability
of our common stock.
SPECIAL CONSIDERATIONS RELATED TO PENNY STOCK RULES
Shares of our common stock may be subject to rules adopted by the SEC
that regulate broker-dealer practices in connection with transactions in "penny
stocks". Penny stocks are generally equity securities with a price of less than
$5.00 (other than securities registered on certain national securities exchanges
or quoted on the Nasdaq Stock Market, provided that current price and volume
information with respect to transactions in those securities is provided by the
exchange or system). The penny stock rules require a broker-dealer, prior to a
transaction in a penny stock not otherwise exempt from those rules, to deliver a
standardized risk disclosure document which contains the following:
* a description of the nature and level of risk in the market
for penny stocks in both public offerings and secondary
trading;
* a description of the broker's or dealer's duties to the
customer and of the rights and remedies available to the
customer with respect to violation to these duties or other
requirements of securities laws;
* a brief, clear, narrative description of a dealer market,
including "bid" and "ask" prices for penny stocks and the
significance of the spread between the "bid" and "ask" price;
* a toll-free telephone number for inquiries on disciplinary
actions;
* definitions of significant terms in the disclosure document or
in the conduct of trading in penny stocks; and
12
* other information as the SEC may require by rule or
regulation.
Prior to effecting any transaction in a penny stock, the broker-dealer
also must provide the customer the following:
* the bid and offer quotations for the penny stock;
* the compensation of the broker-dealer and its salesperson in
the transaction;
* the number of shares to which such bid and ask prices apply,
or other comparable information relating to the depth and
liquidity of the market for such stock; and
* monthly account statements showing the market value of each
penny stock held in the customer's account.
In addition, the penny stock rules require that prior to a transaction
in a penny stock not otherwise exempt from those rules, the broker-dealer must
make a special written determination that the penny stock is a suitable
investment for the purchaser and receive the purchaser's written acknowledgment
of the receipt of a risk disclosure statement, a written agreement to
transactions involving penny stocks, and a signed and dated copy of a written
statement. These disclosure requirements may have the effect of reducing the
trading activity in the secondary market for a stock that becomes subject to the
penny stock rules. Holders of shares of our common stock may have difficulty
selling those shares because our common stock may be subject to the penny stock
rules.
PART II INFORMATION REQUIRED IN THE REGISTRATION STATEMENT

incorporated by reference herein and to be a part hereof from
the respective date of filing of such documents.
Any statement incorporated by reference herein shall be deemed to be

(a) the officer or director conducted himself or herself in good faith;
(b) his or her conduct was in our best interests, or if the conduct was
not in an official capacity, that the conduct was not opposed to our best
interests; and
(c) in the case of a criminal proceeding, he or she had no reasonable
cause to believe that his or her conduct was unlawful. We may not indemnify our
officers or directors in connection with a proceeding by or in our right, where
the officer or director was adjudged liable to us, or in any other proceeding,
where our officer or director are found to have derived an improper personal
benefit.
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities
Act of 1933, as amended, may be permitted to our directors, officers and
controlling persons pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, we have
been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission, this
indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the securities laws,
and is, therefore unenforceable.

ITEM 9. UNDERTAKINGS
The undersigned registrant also undertakes:
(1) To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made,
a post-effective amendment to this registration statement:
(i) To include any prospectus required by section 10(a)(3) of
the Securities Act of 1933;
(ii) Reflect in the prospectus any facts or events which,
individually or together, represent a fundamental change in the information in
the registration statement; and 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 prospects filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule
424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in the volume and price represent no
more than a 20% change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the
"Calculation of Registration Fee" table in the effective registration statement;
and
(iii) Include any additional or changed material information
on the plan of distribution.
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 SEC such indemnification is against
public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore,
unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such
liabilities (other than the payment by the Registrant of expenses incurred or
paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the Registrant in the
successful defense of any action, suit or preceding) 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 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.
