$0.001 par Value Common Stock

Dated March 14, 2003

 

This is a public offering of 3,750,000 shares of $0.001 par value common stock of Can/Am Auto Sales, Inc. (the "Company" or "Can/Am"). The shareholders listed on pages 8 to 10 are selling 2,250,000 of those shares. None of these securities holders are officers, directors or significant investors in the Company.

 

There is currently no public market for the common stock. Therefore, the selling shareholders will sell their stock at $0.10 per share until the securities are quoted on a national exchange and thereafter at prevailing market prices or privately negotiated prices.

 

An Investment In The Securities Offered Hereby Involves A High Degree Of Risk And Immediate Substantial Dilution Of The Book Value Of The Common Stock And Should Be Considered Only By Persons Who Can Afford The Loss Of Their Entire Investment. See RISK FACTORS beginning on page 5.

 

These Securities Have Not Been Approved Or Disapproved By The Securities And Exchange Commission Or Any State Securities Commission Nor Has The Securities And Exchange Commission Or Any State Securities Commission Passed Upon The Accuracy Or Adequacy Of This Prospectus/Proxy.

Until _____, 2003, all dealers that effect transactions in these securities, whether or not participating in this offering, may be required to deliver a prospectus. This is an addition to the dealers- obligation to deliver a prospectus when acting as underwriters and with respect to their unsold allotments or subscriptions.

 

Item 3. Summary Information and Risk Factors.

 

Prospectus Summary. The following summary is qualified in its entirety by reference to the more detailed information and the financial statements, including the notes thereto, appearing elsewhere in this Prospectus. Each prospective investor is urged to read this Prospectus in its entirety.

 

Can/Am's common stock is presently not traded on any market or securities exchange. There are 3,450,000 shares of common stock outstanding as of the date of this prospectus.

 

Can/Am Autosales, Inc. is offering for sale common stock, at the same time that certain selling shareholders may also offer their stock for sale. The selling shareholders will be able to sell their stock at any price, which price may be lower than the offering price for stock for sale by Can/Am. This concurrent offering may adversely affect the ability of Can/Am to sell its stock; which, in turn, may adversely affect the ability of the Company to raise money. Can/Am has no arrangement in place to address the effect of this concurrent offering, and this may adversely affect the price of the stock after it is sold. In addition, if Can/Am is unable to sell its stock and raise money, the Company may not be able to complete its business plan and may fail.

 

Securities offered through this prospectus will not be sold through dealers, but will be sold on a direct participation basis only.

 

Organization

 

Can/Am Autosales, Inc. ("Can/Am", the "Issuer", the "Company" or the "Registrant") was incorporated on November 4, 2002 in the state of Nevada. The Issuer has never declared bankruptcy, has never been in receivership, and has never been involved in any legal action or proceedings whatsoever. Since becoming incorporated, the Company has not made any significant purchases or sale of assets, nor has it been involved in any mergers, acquisitions or consolidations.

 

The principal office is located at 1577 W. 4th Avenue, Vancouver B.C. V6J 1L6. The telephone number is (604) 732-3799.

 

Since becoming incorporated, Can/Am has not made any significant purchases or sale of assets, nor has it been involved in any mergers, acquisitions or consolidations. Can/Am has never declared bankruptcy, it has never been in receivership, and it has never been involved in any legal action or proceedings.

 

Can/Am is a development stage company with an objective to provide quality used Vancouver, B.C. vehicles at a reasonable price to customers in the United States and Canada.

 

Can/Am incurred a loss in the amount of $1,782 for the most recent financials, year-end December 31, 2002. Can/Am had cash in the amount of $200 as of December 31, 2002. Prior to filing this registration statement, Can/Am sold 3,450,000 shares for a total of $70,500, thereby providing a cash balance on hand of $64,490 as of March 14, 2003. Can/Am's business plan calls for the spending of approximately $120,000 over the next twelve-month period. Can/Am anticipates spending approximately $21,000 associated with this offering and plans to pay that entirely from cash on hand. Can/Am does not have sufficient cash on hand to proceed with the business plan for the next 12 months after this registration becomes effective, as detailed in Item 17 - Plan of Operation, and will need to raise money from the proposed offering.

 

Management:

Currently, Can/Am has a four person Board of Directors. These four Board members have assumed responsibility for all planning, development and operational duties, and will continue to do so throughout the beginning stages of Can/Am. The two officers of Can/Am will be spending the time to develop the operations. It is anticipated, that Triantafyllos Groumoutis, President and CFO, will be donating 15-25 hours per week and George Giannopoulos, Secretary and Treasurer, will be donating 5-10 hours per week. Other than Directors and Officers, there are no employees at the present time and there are no plans to hire employees during the next 12 months.

 

The Offering:

This offering consists of 3,750,000 shares of Can/Am common stock. The offering price is $0.10 per share. Of that amount, current shareholders are offering 2,250,000 shares. Can/Am is offering 1,500,000 shares. Officers, directors or significant investors own none of the shares being offered. The Company's officers and directors collectively own 1,200,000 shares of restricted common stock.

 

There is currently no market for Can/Am stock.

Risk Factors

 

An investment in the Company's common stock involves a high degree of risk. You should carefully consider the risks described below and the other information in this prospectus. If any of the following risks occur, Can/Am's business, operating results and financial condition could be seriously harmed. The trading price of the Company's common stock could decline due to any of these risks, and you could lose all or part of your investment.

 

 

Requirement of Audited Financial Information for Businesses That May Be Acquired: Can/Am will be subject to the periodic reporting requirements of the Exchange Act. Current reports will be required each time a reportable event occurs relating to our business affairs. Should Can/Am contemplate the acquisition of a significant amount of assets of another company or of the other company itself, it will be required to provide the Securities and Exchange Commission with certified financial statements of the company or companies to be acquired. No assurances can be given that such certified financial statements of a contemplated acquisition will be available to us. We may, therefore, be precluded from making such acquisition or acquisitions if the requisite financial information is unavailable or can only be obtained at excessive cost to us.

 

Start-up Company with Lack of Operations and Profitability: Can/Am is a start-up company in the pre-operational development stage and has no history of operations or profits in the automotive sales business.

 

Requirement of New Capital: As a growing business, Can/Am will typically need more capital than it has available to it or can expect to generate through the sale of its services or advertising. As a result, Can/Am will have to raise considerable funds to meet its needs. There is no guarantee that Can/Am will be able to raise funds needed for its business. Failure to raise the necessary funds in a timely fashion would have a material adverse effect on the business operations, prospects, and growth. Please refer to Note 2 of the December 31, 2002 audited financial statements for the auditors' uncertainty, going concern comment.

 

Competition: Can/Am's services will compete against those of other established companies, some of which have greater financial, marketing and other resources than those of Can/Am. These competitors may be able to institute and sustain price wars, or imitate the features of Can/Am's services, resulting in reduction of the Company's share of the market and reduced price levels and profit margins. In addition, there are no significant barriers to new competitors entering the market.

 

Dependence on the Management Team: Can/Am is largely dependant upon the efforts and abilities of its management team. The management has particular experience and industry contacts. There is no assurance that Can/Am can be successful in operating the business if the services of the management team become unavailable.

 

Dividends: Can/Am has never paid a cash dividend on its common stock. Can/Am is not obliged to pay a dividend on the shares being registered hereby, nor does it anticipate payment of any dividends for the foreseeable future. Can/Am anticipates retaining its earnings to finance its operations, growth and expansion.

 

No Assurance of Public Market - Potential Volatility of Stock Price: There currently is no public trading market for Can/Am's common stock. There can be no assurance that an active public trading market can be established or sustained. Furthermore, if a public market for the common stock is established, the shares could be subject to significant fluctuations in response to operating results and other factors, many of which are not within the Registrant's control.

 

Possible Non-Liquidity of Securities: Can/Am does not currently meet the requirements to have shares listed on the U.S. Stock Exchange or the NASDAQ Stock Market; therefore, any market for securities which does develop, may not be liquid. Can/Am cannot give any assurance that its stock will achieve sufficient distribution or that the Company will be able to obtain the number of market-makers necessary to obtain a listing on the NASDAQ Stock Market.

 

Rules Governing Low-Priced Stocks can be restrictive for broker-dealers, and those restrictions May Effect Shareholders' Ability to Resell Shares: Can/Am's Common Stock is currently considered a "penny stock" under federal securities laws (Penny Stock Reform Act, Securities Exchange Act Section 3a (51(A)), since its market price is below $5.00 per share. Penny stock rules generally impose additional sales practice and disclosure requirements on broker-dealers who sell or recommend such shares to certain investors.

 

Broker-dealers who sell penny stock to certain types of investors are required to comply with the SEC's regulations concerning the transfer of penny stock. If an exemption is not available, these regulations require broker-dealers to: make a suitability determination prior to selling penny stock to the purchaser; receive the purchaser's written consent to the transaction; and, provide certain written disclosures to the purchaser. These rules may affect the ability of broker-dealers to make a market in, or trade our shares. In turn, this may make it very difficult for investors to resell those shares in the public market.

 

Can/Am's Auditor has Expressed Doubts as to Can/Am's Ability to Continue as a Going Concern: In the opinion of our auditor, since Can/Am has not generated revenue from operations, it raises substantial doubt about Can/Am's ability to continue as a going concern. Please refer to Note 2 of the December 31, 2002 audited financial statements for the auditors' uncertainty, going concern comment.

 

These risk factors, individually or occurring together, would likely have a substantially negative effect on Can/Am's business and would likely cause it to fail.

 

Forward-Looking Statements

 

This prospectus contains forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. Can/Am uses words such as anticipate, believe, plan, expect, future, intend and similar expressions to identify such forward-looking statements. You should not place too much reliance on these forward-looking statements. Actual results are most likely to differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements for many reasons, including the risks faced as described in this Risk Factors section and elsewhere in this prospectus.

 

Item 4. Use of Proceeds.

 

Can/Am Autosales, Inc. intends to raise $150,000 from the sale of 1,500,000 shares of common stock at $0.10 per share. This offering has a maximum amount of $150,000, and no minimum. Can/Am has no intention to return any stock sales proceeds to investors if the maximum amount is not raised.

 

Readers will note that Can/Am has already raised a total of $70,500 from the sale of stock.  An amount of $48,000 has been raised from the sale of stock to Officers and Directors - this stock is restricted and is not being registered in this offering.  The offering expenses associated with this offering are estimated to be $21,034.50.  As of March 14, 2003 we had a balance of $64,490 in cash. This will allow us to pay the entire expenses of this offering from cash on hand.  None of the offering expenses are to be paid out of the proceeds of this offering.  One of the purposes of the offering is to create an equity market, which allows us to more easily raise capital, since a publicly traded company has more flexibility in its financing offerings than one that does not.

 

The following table indicates how we will use these proceeds of this offering. Items are not listed in a priority order. No offering expenses will be paid from proceeds. Therefore, the gross aggregate proceeds, assuming 100% of the offering is sold, will be $150,000.

Licenses and Insurance: This item refers to obtaining business licenses for the province of British Columbia. The insurance relates to the cost of insuring cars while on the storage lot and the charge for one dealer's demonstration plate.


Communication: This item refers to telecommunication, Internet, e-mail, and all other related form of communication costs.

 

Storage Lot: This item relates to the cost of renting a lot to park up to 10 cars at any given time. It is based on renting a lot for 6 months.

 

Office and Miscellaneous Expenses: This item refers to web hosting fees, transfer agent fees, office supplies, postage, courier, and miscellaneous costs that have not been otherwise listed - such as bank service charges and other sundry items.

 

Cash on Hand: This relates to money that will be held for emergencies and/or other unexpected expenses that are not anticipated in the development stages of the company. Per Item 17 - Plan of Operation, Can/Am expects to expense $120,000 in the next 12 months to develop the business.

 

There is no assurance that we will raise the full $150,000 as anticipated. The following is the break down of how we will use the proceeds if only 25 percent, 50 percent, or 75 percent of the total offering amount is raised:

If only 25% of the offering is sold, Can/Am will only be able to purchase one (1) car with a value of $5,000. Website development and promotions will be significantly reduced, thus, limiting the ability to get recognition for the company. The majority of the $37,500 will be used for the legal and accounting expenses throughout the year. Therefore, Can/Am would require other sources of financing as the company would not have the necessary funds to continue as a business.

 

In the event that only 50% of the offering amount is raised, Can/Am would be able to purchase four (4) cars. This should be sufficient to further Can/Am's plan of operation; however, cash flow would be severely restricted. Without the ability to aggressively pursue the plan of operation, it is likely that it would take much longer to build a profitable business.

 

If 75% of the total offering amount is raised, there will be sufficient funds to pay a significant portion of all budgeted expenditure items.

 

The money we have raised thus far from selling stock to our Officers and Directors will be sufficient to pay all expenses of this offering. We estimate that amount to be $21,034.50. The total amount of the money raised from the sale of the 1,500,000 shares we are offering will be used for the purpose of furthering our plan of operations, as detailed in Item 17 of this filing.

 

Item 5. Determination of Offering Price.

 

There is no established market for the Registrant's stock. Can/Am's offering price for shares sold pursuant to this offering is set at $0.10. The existing shareholders paid $0.01 per share and the directors of Can/AM paid $0.01 and $0.05 per share. The additional factors that were included in determining the sales price are the lack of liquidity (since there is no present market for Can/Am's stock) and the high level of risk considering the lack of operating history of Can/Am. The Selling Shareholders, however, will offer their shares at $0.10 per share, based on the price at which the shares are being offered, until the shares are quoted on a national exchange or bulletin board at which time they will sell their stock at a price determined by the market, which may not be the same price as is sold by Can/Am. The Selling Shareholders will individually determine the price at which they will sell their shares, when and if they decide to sell.

 

Item 6. Dilution

 

Can/Am is offering shares of its common stock for $.10 per share through this offering. Over the past five years, its officers, directors and affiliated persons have purchased shares of its common stock for $0.01 and $0.05 per share. See Item 26, Recent Sales of Unregistered Securities, below. Following is a table detailing dilution to investors if 100%, 75%, 50%, or 25% of the offering is sold.

Except as otherwise noted in this list, the named party beneficially owns and has sole voting and investment power over all shares or rights to these shares. The numbers in this table assume that all shares offered are sold. The percentages are based on 3,450,000 shares of common stock outstanding on March 14, 2003. The 3,450,000 figure includes 1,200,000 common shares currently owned by Officers and Directors. These 1,200,000 shares are restricted and are not being registered in this offering.

 

None of the selling shareholders or their beneficial owners:

 

(a) has had a material relationship with Can/Am, other than as a shareholder at any time within the past three years; or

 

(b) has ever been an Officer or Director of Can/Am or any of its predecessors or affiliates.

 

Item 8. Plan of Distribution.

 

Two separate offerings of Can/Am's shares will be held concurrently. One offering consists of a maximum number of 2,250,000 shares being offered by current shareholders at $.10 per share. The second offering consists of a maximum number of 1,500,000 shares being offered by Can/Am at $.10 per share.

Company Offering

Can/Am is offering for sale 1,500,000 shares of its common stock, at the same time that certain Selling Shareholders may also offer their stock for sale. If Can/Am is unable to sell its stock and raise money, it may not be able to complete its business plan and may fail.

 

There will be no underwriters used, no dealer's commissions, no finder's fees, and no passive market making for the shares being offered by Can/Am. All of these shares will be issued to business associates, friends, and family of current Can/Am shareholders and principles. The Officers and Directors of Can/Am, Triantafyllos Groumoutis, George Giannopoulos, Nick Beretanos, and John Mantas, will not register as broker-dealers in connection with this offering. Masseurs Groumoutis, Giannopoulos, Beretanos, and Mantas will not be deemed to be brokers pursuant to the safe harbor provisions of Rule 3a4-1 of the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, since they are not subject to statutory disqualification, will not be compensated directly or indirectly from the sale of securities, are not an associated person of a broker or dealer, nor have they been so associated within the previous twelve months, primarily perform substantial duties as Officers and Directors that are not in connection with the sale of securities, and have not nor will not participate in the sale of securities more than once every twelve months.

 

Selling Shareholders Offering

Selling Shareholders, as listed on pages 8 - 10 are offering 2,250,000 shares of Can/Am's common stock. There is currently no public market for Can/Am's stock. Until such time as a market does develop, Selling Shareholders will sell their shares at a fixed price of $.10 per share. Once a market develops, the Selling Shareholders will be able to sell their stock at any price, which price may be lower than the offering price of stock for sale by Can/Am. This concurrent offering may adversely affect the ability of Can/Am to sell its stock, which, in turn, may adversely affect the ability of Can/Am to raise money. Can/Am has no arrangement in place to address the effect of this concurrent offering, and this may adversely affect the price of the stock after it is sold.

 

There will be no underwriters used, no dealer's commissions, no finder's fees, and no passive market making for the shares being offered by current shareholders.

 

The Selling Shareholders will be selling 2,250,000 of the 3,750,000 shares offered in this prospectus, and 2,250,000 of the 4,950,000 total shares that will be outstanding if all of the shares to be sold by Can/Am are sold. The Selling Shareholders will be selling 60% of the stock being sold in this offering, and 45.5% of the total shares that will be outstanding, if all of the shares to be sold by Can/Am are sold. The shares being sold by the Selling Shareholders will be sold individually by each shareholder, based on market prices and conditions once the shares are registered on an exchange, and will not necessarily be dependant on the price for which Can/Am is offering the shares. Selling shareholders will sell their stock at a fixed price of $.10 per share until a market has developed. After a market for Can/Am's shares has developed will the selling shareholders be able to sell at market prices. If the shares sold by the Selling Shareholders are sold for a price that is less than the price for which Can/Am is selling its stock, Can/Am may not be able to sell its stock, and raise the necessary cash to complete its business development. In such event, the business may fail.

 

Can/Am plans to offer its shares to the public, with no minimum amount to be sold, and will keep the offering open until July 31, 2003. Can/Am may, at its discretion, extend the offer up to an additional two (2) years from the date this offer is declared effective.

 

Our Common Stock is currently considered a "penny stock" under federal securities laws (Penny Stock Reform Act, Securities Exchange Act Section 3a (51(A)) since its market price is below $5.00 per share. Penny stock rules generally impose additional sales practice and disclosure requirements on broker-dealers who sell or recommend such shares to certain investors.

 

Broker-dealers who sell penny stock to certain types of investors are required to comply with the SEC's regulations concerning the transfer of penny stock. If an exemption is not available, these regulations require broker-dealers to: make a suitability determination prior to selling penny stock to the purchaser; receive the purchaser's written consent to the transaction; and, provide certain written disclosures to the purchaser. These rules may affect the ability of broker-dealers to make a market in, or trade our shares. In turn, this may make it very difficult for investors to resell those shares in the public market.

All of the issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock are, and all unissued shares when offered and sold will be, duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid, and nonassessable.

Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers or persons controlling the Company pursuant to the foregoing provisions, the Company has been informed that, in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission, such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in that Act and is, therefore, unenforceable.

No assets will be or are expected to be acquired from any promoter on behalf of Can/Am. In addition, see Certain Relationships and Related Transactions, Item 19, below.

 

Item 16. Description of Business.

 

Business Development

 

Can/Am Autosales, Inc., was incorporated on November 4, 2002, in the state of Nevada. Can/Am has never declared bankruptcy, it has never been in receivership, and it has never been involved in any legal action or proceedings. Since becoming incorporated, it has not made any significant purchase or sale of assets, nor has it been involved in any mergers, acquisitions or consolidations. Can/Am is not a blank check registrant as that term is defined in Rule 419(a)(2) of Regulation C of the Securities Act of 1933, since it has a specific business plan or purpose.

 

Business of Issuer

 

Can/Am's objective is to provide quality used Vancouver, B.C. vehicles at a reasonable price to customers in the United States and Canada.

 

Principal Products, Services and Their Markets

 

The primary focus is to competitively supply Canadian vehicles to the U.S. and secondarily to Canada. Automobiles, which are in good condition, i.e. low mileage for age, service history, pedigree of vehicle, and accident free, will be sourced. Owner histories - preferably one owner vs. multiple owners, will be of primary importance. The objective is to find buyers for cars as opposed to focusing on finding cars for customers.

 

Can/Am will provide fully inspected vehicles and provide documentation of full history, quality, and disclosure of known problems. Can/Am will have done full maintenance at corresponding manufacturers mileage, along with complete detailing, inside and out before, selling them. Can/Am will use Customs Brokers who provide the necessary U.S customs / brokerage paperwork, as well as ensuring the car complies with U.S. regulations.

 

Distribution Methods of the Products and Services

 

Distribution in Can/Am's two primary markets, the United States and Canada, will be done through using automotive relocation specialists. Can/Am will deliver the vehicles to a local relocation specialist, who charges a fee to ship the vehicles to the final destination by trailer and/or train.

 

Competition and Competitive Strategy

 

As a start-up company, our competitive position within the industry will be very poor. The challenge for Can/Am will be to build the business from nothing and establish the company as a credible participant in an already existing market. At present, there are many other companies selling used automobiles on the Internet and through trade magazines.

 

Of primary importance and advantage is the experience and background of the founder and president, Mr. Groumoutis. His 12 years experience in the automotive trade gives him the ability to seek and find good quality cars and repair them to excellent working order before they go on sale. His knowledge of the market allows him to differentiate between a good and bad product and determine problems in the market beforehand. Mr. Groumoutis' auto repair shop, P.S. Motors Ltd., will be subcontracted by Can/Am to inspect vehicles and repair them so that they are mechanically sound before going on the market.

 

Can/Am's strategic approach is to sell cars that are driven locally in Vancouver, B.C. These cars tend to have lower mileage, as they are rarely driven on highways, and due to temperate weather conditions there is less wear and tear, as compared with other major Canadian cities. Additionally, these cars present a good value for US customers due to the strength of the US Dollar compared to the Canadian dollar.

 

The majority of advertising will be done on Cam/Am's website and auto trade magazines and/or their websites. The advertised vehicles in trade magazine will link potential customers to Can/Am's website which will in turn offer more vehicles for sale.

 

Sources and Availability of Products

 

The source for vehicles will be individuals selling cars, and in some instances, dealers. The advantage of approaching private individuals is that there is no reliance on principal suppliers. Individual vehicle owners will be accessed through newspapers, magazines, trade magazines, auctions, and in some instances dealerships at wholesale rates.

 

Dependence on Major Customers

 

Can/Am does not anticipate a dependency on any major customers, as Can/Am's customers will be primarily individuals and families who will own one or two cars and are not buying or selling them frequently. These car purchases are a major transaction for most individuals and families. These individuals will most likely not be frequent repeat customers. Can/Am may sell to dealerships, which could be more frequent repeat customers. These instances would not be as frequent, but there are numerous dealers that would want to purchase quality used cars. Can/Am's market focus will be on the individual buyers as management feels it will be more profitable than selling to dealers at wholesale rates.

 

Patent, Trademark, License & Franchise Restrictions and Contractual Obligations & Concessions

 

There are no inherent factors or circumstances associated with this industry, or any of the services that Can/Am plans to provide that would give cause for any patent, trademark or license infringements or violations. Can/Am has also not entered into any franchise agreements or other contracts that have given, or could give rise to obligations or concessions.

 

Governmental Controls, Approvals and Regulations

 

Government regulations are not a problem on the whole. Can/Am will use the services of a Customs Broker, who will provide the necessary documentation to complete the delivery into the U.S.

 

Research and Development Activities and Costs

 

Can/Am has not undertaken any research and development to date, nor does it have any plans to undertake any research or development in the future.

 

Compliance With Environmental Laws

 

There are no appreciable costs or effects with compliance to environmental laws.

 

Website Consultant

 

There are no contracts with a website consultant at present.

 

Employees

 

Other than Can/Am's Directors and Executive Officers who are currently donating their time to the development of the Company, there are no employees of Can/Am. Can/Am does not intend to hire employees until the business has been successfully launched with sales revenues flowing into the Company. Can/Am's Officers and Directors intend to do whatever work is necessary to bring it to the point of earning revenues. Human resource planning will be part of an ongoing process that will include constant evaluation of operations and revenue realization.

 

Reports to Security Holders

 

The Company will voluntarily make available an annual report including audited financials on Form 10-K or Form 10-KSB to security holders. Upon registration of the shares sold under this Prospectus, we expect to file reports with the SEC pursuant to the Exchange Act.

 

The public may read and copy any materials filed with the SEC at the SEC's Public Reference Room at 450 Fifth Street, N.W., Washington, D.C. 20549. The public may obtain information on the operation of the Public Reference Room by calling the SEC at 1-800-SEC-0330. The SEC maintains an Internet site that contains reports, proxy and information statements, and other information regarding issuers that file electronically with the SEC at http://www.sec.gov.

 

Item 17. Plan of Operation.

 

Can/Am Autosales, Inc. is a development stage company with no operations, no revenue, no financial backing and few assets. Can/Am plans to market used cars through the internet and auto trade magazines to individuals in the U.S. and Canada. The auto trade magazines and their websites require a fee to advertise through them.

 

The website, for the next 12 months, is one of the main features of Can/Am's marketing plan. Can/Am will attempt to drive potential customers to the website primarily through advertising in auto trade magazines and/or websites, and secondarily through internet search engines.

 

The President of Can/Am, Mr. Groumoutis, has a strong background in the automotive trade business since 1989, primarily in the maintenance of vehicles. This experience is what is crucial to identifying quality used vehicles that require minimum maintenance and/or repairs. Mr. Groumoutis, who is based in Vancouver, B.C., will be responsible for the development of the U.S. and Canadian markets.

 

During the first year of operations, Can/Am will concentrate its efforts on website development, obtaining business licenses, locating business contacts, and sourcing and selling used cars.

 

At present, Can/Am is pursuing the development of its website, www.CanAmAutosales.com. The website will be used as an information portal and will not offer on-line buying. The website will advertise all the vehicles available for sale with detailed mechanical inspection reports. It will also provide contact information by telephone, fax, and e-mail. Can/Am expects to spend $5,000 over the next twelve months on the website.

 

In the first six months, Can/Am will develop its website, obtain business licenses, source auto trade magazines, locate customs brokers, and automobile relocation specialists.

 

In months six through twelve, Can/Am intends to have located a car storage lot and locate up to nine (9) cars to be sold. While Can/Am anticipates having sales revenue in the second half of the year, the company does not expect to be profitable with a steady stream of revenue until its second year of operations.

No assets will be or are expected to be acquired from any promoter on behalf of our company. We have not entered into any agreements that require disclosure to our shareholders.

 

None of the following parties has, since the date of incorporation, had any material interest, direct or indirect, in any transaction with us or in any presently proposed transaction that has or will materially affect us:

 

-Any of the directors or officers;

-Any person proposed as a nominee for election as a director;

Triantafyllos Groumoutis loaned Can/Am $3,420, which was used for incorporating the company and for business expenses. The loan owing to Mr. Groumoutis was repaid by purchasing 300,000 shares at $.01 per share on November 22, 2002 and the remaining $420 was repaid during January 2003. The Company no longer owes money to a stockholder.

 

Item 20. Market for Common Equity and Related Stockholder Matters.

 

Market for Stock.

 

There is presently no public market for the Company's common stock.  Can/Am anticipates applying for trading of its common stock on either the OTC Bulletin Board or the proposed BBX Exchange, upon the effectiveness of the registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part.  However, Can/Am can provide no assurance that the shares will be traded on the OTC Bulletin Board or BBX Exchange or, if traded, that a public market will materialize.

 

Holders.

 

As of March 14, 2003, the company had thirty-three (33) shareholders of record of its common stock.

 

No shares of stock are currently available for resale under Rule 144 of the Act. A total of 300,000 shares of the common stock will be available for resale to the public after November 22, 2004, in accordance with the volume and trading limitations of Rule 144. A total of 900,000 shares of the common stock will be available for resale to the public after March 4, 2005, in accordance with the volume and trading limitations of Rule 144. In general, under Rule 144 as currently in effect, an officer, director or owner of 10% or more of common stock who has beneficially owned shares of a company's common stock for at least two years is entitled to sell within any three month period a number of shares that does not exceed the greater of:

 

1. 1% of the number of shares of Can/Am's common stock then outstanding which will equal approximately 3,450,000 shares as of the date of this prospectus; or

 

2. the average weekly trading volume of Can/Am's common stock during the four calendar weeks preceding the filing of a notice on form 144 with respect to the sale.

 

Sales under Rule 144 are also subject to manner of sale provisions and notice requirements and to the availability of current public information about Can/Am.

 

Under Rule 144(k), a person who is not one of Can/Am's affiliates at any time during the three months preceding a sale, and who has beneficially owned the shares proposed to be sold for at least 2 years, is entitled to sell shares without complying with the manner of sale, public information, volume limitation or notice provisions of Rule 144.

 

Stock Option Grants

 

To date, Can/Am has not granted any stock options.

 

Registration Rights

 

Can/Am has not granted registration rights to the selling shareholders or to any other persons.

 

Dividends.

 

As of the filing of this registration statement, Can/Am has not paid any dividends to its shareholder. There are no restrictions which would limit the ability of Can/Am to pay dividends on common equity or that are likely to do so in the future.

 

Item 21. Executive Compensation.

 

Can/Am's Executive officers do not currently receive any compensation.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS

 

 

To The Board of Directors and Stockholder

Of Can/Am Autosales, Inc.

 

We have audited the accompanying balance sheet of Can/Am Autosales, Inc. (a Nevada corporation) (a development stage enterprise) as of December 31, 2002, and the related statements of loss, stockholder's equity, and cash flows for the period from November 22, 2002 (inception) to December 31, 2002. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management.  Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit.

 

We conducted our audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America.  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 financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Can/Am Autosales, Inc. (a development stage enterprise) as of December 31, 2002, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the period from November 22, 2002 (inception), to December 31, 2002, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

 

The accompanying 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 is not currently engaged in a business and has suffered losses from development stage activities to date, which raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern.  Management's plans in regard to these matters are also described in Note 2.  The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

(A development stage enterprise)

Notes to Financial Statements

December 31, 2002

 

Note 1 - Organization and summary of significant accounting policies:

Following is a summary of the Company's organization and significant accounting policies:

 

Organization and nature of business - Can/Am Autosales, Inc. (the Company) is a Nevada corporation incorporated on November 4, 2002.  It is based in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada.

 

The Company's intent is to become an automobile vendor which will export pre-owned Canadian vehicles for sale in the United States.   The Company's website is currently under construction and will be the core component of its marketing and advertising strategy.  The website will display a selection of the automobiles that are for sale and will include links to other industry related websites.  Information for those desiring to invest in the Company will also be presented.

 

To date, the Company's activities have been limited to its formation and the raising of equity capital. In its current development stage, management anticipates incurring substantial additional losses as it implements its business plan.

 

Basis of presentation - The accounting and reporting policies of the Company conform to U.S. generally accepted accounting principles applicable to development stage enterprises.

 

Use of estimates - The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amount of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.  Actual results could differ from those estimates.

 

Cash and cash equivalents - For purposes of the statement of cash flows, the Company considers all cash in banks, cash funds held in trust, money market funds, and certificates of deposit with a maturity of less than three months to be cash equivalents.

 

Fair value of financial instruments and derivative financial instruments  - The Company has adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards number 119, Disclosure About Derivative Financial Instruments and Fair Value of Financial Instruments. The carrying amounts of cash, accounts payable, and accrued expenses approximate fair value because of the short maturity of these items. These fair value estimates are subjective in nature and involve uncertainties and matters of significant judgment, and, therefore, cannot be determined with precision.  Changes in assumptions could significantly affect these estimates.  The Company does not hold or issue financial instruments for trading purposes, nor does it utilize derivative instruments in the management of its foreign exchange, commodity price or interest rate market risks.

 


CAN/AM AUTOSALES, INC.

(A development stage enterprise)

Notes to Financial Statements

December 31, 2002

 

Federal income taxes - Deferred income taxes are reported for timing differences between items of income or expense reported in the financial statements and those reported for income tax purposes in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards number 109 Accounting for Income Taxes, which requires the use of the asset/liability method of accounting for income taxes.  Deferred income taxes and tax benefits are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases, and for tax loss and credit carryforwards.  Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled.  The Company provides deferred taxes for the estimated future tax effects attributable to temporary differences and carryforwards when realization is more likely than not.

 

Net income per share of common stock - The Company has adopted FASB Statement Number 128, Earnings per Share, which requires presentation of basic and diluted EPS on the face of the income statement for all entities with complex capital structures and requires a reconciliation of the numerator and denominator of the basic EPS computation to the numerator and denominator of the diluted EPS computation.  In the accompanying financial statements, basic earnings per share of common stock is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period.  The Company did not have a complex capital structure requiring the computation of diluted earnings per share.

 

Note 2 - Uncertainty, going concern:

At December 31, 2002, the Company was not currently engaged in a business and had suffered losses from development stage activities to date.  Although management is currently attempting to implement its business plan (see Note 1 above) and is seeking additional sources of equity or debt financing, there is no assurance these activities will be successful. Accordingly, the Company must rely on its president to perform essential functions without compensation until a business operation can be commenced.  These factors raise substantial doubt about the ability of the Company to continue as a going concern.  The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

 

Note 3 - Related party transactions:

The Company's president has advanced funds from time to time to finance the Company's operations.  The advances are not evidenced by a promissory note, do not bear interest, and are due currently.  The Company expects to repay the advances out of proceeds from sales of stock.  Such advances totaled $420 at December 31, 2002.

Notes to Financial Statements

December 31, 2002

 

Note 4 - Federal income tax:

The Company follows Statement of Financial Accounting Standards Number 109 (SFAS 109), Accounting for Income Taxes. Deferred income taxes reflect the net effect of (a) temporary difference between carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial purposes and the amounts used for income tax reporting purposes, and (b) net operating loss carryforwards. No net provision for refundable Federal income tax has been made in the accompanying statement of loss because no recoverable taxes were paid previously. Similarly, no deferred tax asset attributable to the net operating loss carryforward has been recognized, as it is not deemed likely to be realized.

 

The provision for refundable Federal income tax consists of the following:

 

2002

Refundable Federal income tax attributable to:

 

  Current operations

$(600)

  Less, Limitation due to absence of prior

    year taxable income                                         

 

              600 

    Net refundable amount

-  

 

 

 

The cumulative tax effect at the expected rate of 34% of significant items comprising the Company's net deferred tax amount as of December 31, 2002 is as follows:

 

2002

Deferred tax asset attributable to:

 

  Net operating loss carryover

$600 

  Less, Valuation allowance

 (600)

    Net deferred tax asset

 

 

 

At December 31, 2002, the Company had an unused net operating loss carryover which may be used to offset future taxable income and which expires as follows:

 

Expires:

Item 23. Changes in and Disagreements with Accountants on Accounting and Financial Disclosures.

 

None, not applicable.

 

PART II. INFORMATION NOT REQUIRED IN PROSPECTUS

 

Item 24. Indemnification of Directors and Officers.

 

Nevada law provides liberal indemnification of officers and directors of Nevada corporations.

 

Section 78.7502 of the Nevada Revised Statutes permits a corporation to indemnify any officer, Director, employee, or agent, who is, was, or is threatened to be made a party to any action, whether civil, criminal, administrative, or investigative, except an action by or in the right of the corporation, by reason of the fact that he is or was an officer, director, employee, or agent, if he acted in good faith and in a manner which he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation, and, in the case of a criminal action, he had no reasonable cause to believe that his conduct was unlawful. In the case in which a director, officer, employee, or agent of a corporation has been successful on the merits or otherwise in defense of such action, the corporation must indemnify him for expenses, including attorneys fees, actually and reasonably incurred by him. Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the federal securities laws may be permitted to directors and controlling persons of the issuer, the issuer has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the law and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event a demand for indemnification is made, the issuer 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 law and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

 

Article Five of the By-Laws of the Company provides for the mandatory indemnification and reimbursement of any director or officer against expenses actually and necessarily incurred by them in connection with the defense of an action, suit or proceeding in which they, or any of them, are made parties, or a party, by reason of being or having been director(s) or officer(s) of the corporation, except in relation to matters as to which any such director or officer shall be adjudged to be liable for negligence or misconduct in the performance of duty. Such indemnification shall not be deemed exclusive of any other rights to which those indemnified may be entitled, under By-Law, agreement, vote of shareholders or otherwise.

We qualified for an exemption from registration under Rule 505 since the Company was not subject to the reporting requirements of Section 13 or 15(d) of the Securities Act of 1933, was and is not an investment company, it had a specific business plan at the time it sold the securities, it was not a blank check company, as that term is defined in Rule 419(a)(2) of Regulation C or Rule 505 of Regulation D of the Securities Act of 1933, and the aggregate offering price was less that $5,000,000, and the stock was sold to less than 35 investors.. Please see the shareholder table found in Item 7, Selling Shareholders, above.

 

Can/Am sold stock subscriptions for 900,000 shares of common stock on March 11, 2003, at $0.05 per share, for an aggregate of $45,000. The shares were issued in a private placement. No underwriters were used, and no commissions or other remuneration were paid except to Can/Am. The securities were sold in reliance on Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, and were sold to the directors of Can/Am.

Item 28. Undertakings.

 

Can/Am hereby undertakes the following:

 

To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this registration statement:

 

(a) To include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act of 1933;

 

(b) To reflect in the prospectus any facts 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 Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in 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

 

(c) To include any additional or changed material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in this registration statement or any material change to such information in the registration statement.

 

That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered herein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

 

That, for determining liability under the Securities Act of 1933, to treat the information omitted from the form of prospectus filed as part of this registration statement in reliance upon Rule 430A and contained in a form of prospectus filed by the registrant under Rule 424(b)(1) or (4) or 497(h) under the Securities Act of 1933 as part of this registration statement as of the time the Securities and Exchange Commission declared it effective.

 

To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered hereby which remain unsold at the termination of the offering.

 

Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to the directors, officers and controlling persons pursuant to the provisions above, or otherwise, Can/Am 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 of 1933, and is, therefore, unenforceable.

 

In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities, other than the payment by Can/Am of expenses incurred or paid by one of the directors, officers or controlling persons in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding, is asserted by one of the directors, officers or controlling persons in connection with the securities being registered, Can/Am 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 is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act of 1933, and Can/Am will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
