THE COMPANY
SMI Products Inc., the "Company" has commenced mortgage information service
operations on the internet. The Company filed and registered a domain name and
has developed a website with information services related to the mortgage
industry. There can be no assurance that the Company will be successful in
developing its operations in this area to the point of generating revenues or
profits.
The Company was incorporated in the State of Nevada on June 17, 1996, for the
purpose of providing consulting services to businesses, and engaging in any
other lawful activity.
BUSINESS
The Company has entered into an agreement to acquire Nu Age Electric, however,
due diligence is ongoing and the transaction has not yet closed. The Company
currently has a web site at the URL mortgagecommunicator.com. The Company
registered a domain name, and has a hosting service for
mortgagecommunicator.com. To date, the company has been unsuccessful in its
business operation.
Our web site provides information to visitors about different mortgages. The
site offers both free information services, as well as "subscribed for" member
services. The free information services include: a daily mortgage commentary; a
listing of the top online mortgage companies; and the daily top news headlines
and stories for the mortgage and real estate industry.
The subscribed for services include: a glossary of terms and frequently asked
questions for the mortgage and real estate industry; mortgage calculators; an
interest rate survey empowering individuals to make a more informed mortgage
decision; and rate alert, a feature which allows the subscriber to set the rate
and points they want, then be notified when the rate and points reach the level
desired.
Visitors who wish to subscribe for the member services will pay an annual
subscription fee of $49.95 per year, which allows them to use the member
services on our site for one year from the subscription date. Each subscriber
will be granted a password for entry into the member services section of our
website. The Company plans to charge this fee to the subscriber's credit or
debit card.
The Company plans to process all orders by on line credit card or cyber cash
systems. The Company currently has developed a relationship to process online
orders. In addition, The Company researched the needs of our planned website
functions and the fees associated with the services needed to fulfill those
needs.
Our site content will consist of information relating to the mortgage industry.
In the future, the Company may plan to provide interest rate information by
geographic area. A portion of the information available on our website may be
available free of charge at other locations; however, The Company intends to
develop more expansive information than that available free of charge.
Applying for a mortgage can be a confusing, tedious and intrusive experience for
homebuyers, especially first-time homebuyers. The Company plans to demystify the
mortgage loan process by providing more expansive information to familiarize
persons interested in mortgages.
The Company plans to establish our market through e-mail advertising. The
Company has not conducted any market testing to determine prospective
advertisers on our website. Visitors will be able to obtain information
twenty-four hours per day, seven days per week through the website. The Company
also plans to sell advertising on our website to banks, mortgage brokers,
builders, land appraisers, surveyors, inspectors, title companies and real
estate brokers. The Company has not developed criteria for pricing of the
advertising space; however, The Company anticipates pricing will be based upon
advertisement size, web page placement, content requirements, contract duration
and other factors. The Company currently has no advertisers.
The Company plans to classify lenders' advertisements by loan products they each
offer.
The Company plans to seek lender advertisers that have a variety of products
including full disclosure loans that require verification of income, assets,
credit, source of funds, employment and residence history, based solely on the
borrower's credit history and the loan to value ratios without any further
documentation. The Company also plans to attract advertisers who offer programs
for borrowers with previous credit blemishes and those offering sub-prime loans.
The process of applying for a mortgage may be an invasive and foreign process.
The Company believes it can take the mystique out of the process by
familiarizing the borrower with required steps to obtain a mortgage.
DISTRIBUTION
The Company plans to deliver services through our website. As of this date, the
Company has an Internet service provider, web site developer and a basic web
site, all of which will be necessary to execute our plan of business.
NEW PRODUCTS OR SERVICES
The Company currently has no new products or services announced or planned to be
announced to the public.
COMPETITIVE BUSINESS CONDITIONS
The conventional method of obtaining mortgage information, for at least the past
fifty years, has been through personal contact with mortgage brokers or lenders,
commercial banks, savings and loan associations, credit unions and insurance
companies. The public has been reticent to try new vehicles or formats through
which they would receive mortgage information. Despite the convenience of
information offered over the Internet, including at our website, many consumers
will view conventional methods of obtaining this information more convenient and
offering better customer service. The Company believes that conventional methods
will continue to be a prime source of competition, along with the many other
Internet based mortgage information and service sites.
COMPETITORS
Our main, existing and potential competitors for real estate professionals and
service providers, homebuyers, homeowners, sellers and renters and related
content include:
o WEB SITES offering real estate listings together with other related
services, such as Apartments.com, Microsoft's HomeAdvisor,
NewHomeNetwork.com, Move.com and RentNet; CyberHomes, HomeSeekers,
Homes.com, Homestore.com.
o WEB SITES offering real estate and mortgage related content and
services such as mortgage calculators and information on the home
buying, selling and renting processes, such as IndyMac, Bank Home
Lending, LoansDirect, Mortgagebot.com, PHH Mortgage Services,
Countrywide Home Loans, Infoloan.com, Quicken Loans, East West
Mortgage, Washington Mutual Mortgage, E-Loan, Alliance Mortgage,
FiNet.com, MortgageIT.com, First Union, GMAC Mortgage, ditech.com,
SFNB, Nexstar, Regions Mortgage, LoanSurfer.com
o General-purpose consumer WEB SITES, such as AltaVista and Yahoo! that
also offer real estate-related content; and o Traditional print media
such as newspapers and magazines.
OUR COMPETITIVE POSITION
We believe competition takes place on many levels, including pricing,
convenience in obtaining mortgage information and loans, specialization, breadth
of product offerings and lending sources. Our intent is to brand ourselves as
one of the leading online interactive mortgage/financing magazine offering an
all in one "ONE STOP MORTGAGE SHOP" for consumers interested in information on
financing or refinancing their home regionally and nationally. We intend to
serve as a content aggregator for related information on the Internet, an
unbiased comprehensive information source, as well as marketplace and
facilitator for mortgage financings, loans and other services related to the
home real estate industry. Our objective is to provide a service that helps the
consumer cut through the often perceived clutter, confusion and noise of the
marketplace and help them confidently and quickly find a loan or information
that meets their goals and fits their lifestyle. We will attempt to brand
mortgagecommunicator.com as the consumer's partner in his or her search for
mortgages and related information. We will attempt to provide consumers with a
one stop shopping destination where they can access information and decision
support tools, such as mortgage calculators and finance worksheets, information
concerning the home buying and selling process and features that aid users in
evaluating the home mortgage decision to assist them in deciding to buy or
finance a home. By attempting to provide specialized information services and
tools for consumers, we will seek to differentiate ourselves from other
competing service offerings. However, we have no assurance we will be successful
in differentiating ourselves from our competitors, or that we will be successful
in competing in the marketplace for our services. By offering a specialized
mortgage information service we will be targeting those consumers that are
looking for such. We believe that consumers will pay for a service that is
specialized, unbiased, and comprehensive and a service that helps them cut
through the perceived clutter, confusion and noise of the marketplace and help
them confidently and quickly find a loan or information that meets their goals
and fits their lifestyle.
SOURCES AND AVAILABILITY OF RAW MATERIALS
As of this date, the Company no need for raw materials or suppliers.
CUSTOMER BASE
As of this date, the Company has no customers. It is not clear whether the
Company will be able to establish a customer base in the future
INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY
The Company does not have any trademarks, patents, licenses, royalty agreements,
or other proprietary interests, except for the web domain name
mortgagecommunicator.com.
GOVERNMENTAL REGULATION ISSUES
The Company is not now affected by direct government regulation. However, the
Company is affected by laws, rules and regulations directly applicable to access
to or commerce on the Internet generally. However, due to increasing usage of
the Internet, a number of laws and regulations may be adopted relating to the
Internet, covering user privacy, pricing, and characteristics and quality of
products and services. Furthermore, the growth and development for Internet
commerce may prompt more stringent consumer protection laws imposing additional
burdens on those companies conducting business over the Internet. The adoption
of any additional laws or regulations may decrease the growth of the Internet,
which, in turn, could decrease the demand for Internet services and increase the
cost of doing business on the Internet. These factors may have an adverse effect
on our business, results of operations and financial condition.
Moreover, the interpretation of sales tax, libel and personal privacy laws
applied to Internet commerce is uncertain and unresolved. The Company may be
required to qualify to do business as a foreign corporation in each such state
or foreign country. Our failure to qualify as a foreign corporation in a
jurisdiction where The Company is required to do so could subject us to taxes
and penalties. Any such existing or new legislation or regulation, including
state sales tax, or the application of laws or regulations from jurisdictions
whose laws do not currently apply to our business, could have a material adverse
effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.
RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT
To date, the Company has not undergone any research and development, except that
required to put up our website.
ENVIRONMENTAL LAW COMPLIANCE
To the extent which environmental compliance may be necessary, the Company does
not anticipate any significant compliance expense.
EMPLOYEES
The Company currently has one employee, James Charuk, our president and a
director, who works for our corporation part-time. The Company has no employment
contracts and our employee is not a union member or affected by labor contracts.
RISK FACTORS
The Company's business and any investment in its securities is subject to a
number of risks which, in addition to ordinary business risks include the
following:
COMPANY HAS LITTLE MANAGERIAL EXPERTISE IN THE DEVELOPMENT OR DISSEMINATION OF
MORTGAGE INFORMATION OR IN THE INTERNET.
Because our management has little experience in developing and disseminating
mortgage information, our abilities in this area may be limited. Even if our
management develops a sufficient quantity of mortgage information, it may be
unable to particularize or adapt it to the needs of website visitors. Moreover,
our management has no Internet experience. Unless management has the financial
resources to hire qualified Internet consultants, as and when needed, the
presentation and technical aspects of our website may suffer.
NO MATERIAL CONTRACTS OR FUTURE PROSPECTS FOR MATERIAL CONTRACTS; COMPANY HAS
NOT DEVELOPED AN OPERATIONAL PLAN TO OBTAIN CONTRACTS.
The Company has no contracts or prospective contracts that will assist us in
promoting or further developing our website or operations. The Company has no
contracts with Internet, computer, mortgage, technical or marketing
professionals which would assist us in the development, selection,
presentational or technical aspects of our website information. The Company has
no contracts or prospective contracts with other websites that would provide
visitation links to our website. The Company has not developed a plan to obtain
any of these contracts. If the Company fails to develop contracts with other
websites or other professionals, our revenues will be negatively impacted.
INFORMATION ON OUR WEBSITE MAY BE AVAILABLE ON OTHER WEBSITES OR IN OTHER
INFORMATIONAL FORMATS AND MAY BE PURCHASED AT LITTLE OR NO COST.
The Company conducted no research to determine what mortgage information is
available over the Internet or in other informational formats and whether that
information may be purchased at nominal fees or free to the public. The Company
has not yet determined all of the specific mortgage information the Company will
make available on our website. Because our website information may be more
easily accessible at other websites or informational formats, and/or at little
or no cost, website visitors may find our website of little or no utility.
POOR FINANCIAL CONDITION AND MAY BE UNABLE TO ADEQUATELY DEVELOP OUR BUSINESS.
Because the Company has no operating history, assets, or revenue sources, an
investor cannot determine if the Company will ever be profitable. The Company
will experience financial difficulties during our operational development and
beyond. The Company may be unable to operate profitably, even if the Company
develops operations and generate revenues. The Company plans to generate
revenues from advertising sales through our website, but there can be no
assurance that our revenues will exceed our costs. Our poor financial condition
could adversely affect our ability to provide a website that will attract
website users or distribute mortgage information in a useful, efficient and
timely fashion, or generate revenues.
DEVELOPMENT STAGE COMPANY WITH NO OPERATING HISTORY FOR INVESTORS TO EVALUATE.
The Company just recently developed a website, but the Company has no operating
history for investors to evaluate our business strategy. The Company has limited
insight into trends that may emerge and affect our business. You must consider
the risks and difficulties frequently encountered by development stage
companies. Furthermore, The Company face risks due to our anticipated
participation in the new and rapidly-evolving Internet market. These challenges
include our:
o Need to further develop, maintain, and increase awareness of our web
site;
o Need to attract and retain customers;
o Dependence on web site and transaction processing performance and
reliability;
o Need to compete effectively; o Need to establish ourselves as a
participant in the evolving market for mortgage information;
o Need to establish and develop relationships with entities related to
and involved in the mortgage industry in order to obtain advertising
revenues for our site.
THE COMPANY HAS NO PROFITS AND HAS LOSSES.
The Company no revenues or revenue sources, yet the Company has significant
costs and losses. Our website has not been fully developed. The Company cannot
assure that it will obtain the necessary working capital to fully develop our
website. Further, even if our website is fully developed, The Company cannot
assure that its website will receive enough Internet traffic or purchases to
generate revenues or achieve profitability. The Company believes that it will
incur net losses for at least the next two years. The Company expects to
increase operating expenses substantially as we:
o Further develop our website;
o Initiate our marketing activities and advertising efforts;
o Provide our customers with promotional benefits;
o Increase our general and administrative functions to support our
developing operations; and develop enhanced technologies and features
to improve our web site.
The Company will pay increased operating expenses from our revenues, assuming
they are sufficient; otherwise, the Company plans to borrow funds from our
management to pay expenses, assuming management has sufficient resources to loan
monies, as and when required. Otherwise, the Company will have to seek
additional debt and/or equity financing from third parties. Depending upon the
extent that our development costs outpace our revenues, our losses will
accumulate more rapidly. In addition, The Company may find that development
efforts are more expensive than currently anticipated.
IF THE COMPANY IS UNABLE TO ATTRACT AND RETAIN QUALIFIED PERSONNEL, OUR BUSINESS
COULD SUFFER.
Our current and future success depends on our ability to identify, attract,
hire, train, retain and motivate highly skilled technical, managerial, sales and
marketing, customer service and professional personnel. Competition for such
employees is intense, especially in the e-commerce sector. The Company may be
unable to successfully attract, assimilate or retain sufficiently qualified
personnel. If the Company fails to attract and retain the necessary technical
professionals, the efficiency of our website will suffer in its presentation,
search abilities and information accessibility. If the Company fails to retain
and attract the necessary managerial, sales and marketing and customer service
personnel, The Company may not develop a sufficient customer base to adequately
fund our operations.
IF CONSUMERS AND MORTGAGE BROKER BUSINESSES DO NOT EMBRACE ON-LINE MORTGAGE
FINANCING AND SALES, OUR BUSINESS WILL BE MATERIALLY ADVERSELY AFFECTED.
Our success depends upon the general acceptance of on-line mortgage information
and services by consumers, mortgage brokers and other third parties. If these
groups do not embrace online mortgage information, our operations will be
adversely affected. The market for electronic mortgage information and services,
particularly over the Internet, is in its early stages of development, but is
evolving rapidly. The Company cannot assure that a sufficiently broad base of
consumers and businesses will adopt, and continue to use, the Internet to obtain
mortgage services, traditionally provided in person-to-person and paper
transactions. Our business prospects must be considered in light of the risks,
expenses and difficulties frequently encountered by companies in the new and
rapidly evolving market for Internet services. Several on-line mortgage service
companies have already failed and are no longer in business. The industry is
extremely volatile and competitive.
The Company believes that acceptance of our services will depend on the
following factors, among others:
o the growth of the Internet as a medium for commerce generally, and as a
market for financial products and services in particular;
o development of the necessary Internet network infrastructure to support
new technologies and handle the demands placed upon the Internet;
o government regulation of the Internet;
o our ability to successfully and efficiently develop on-line information
that is attractive to a sufficiently large number of consumers and
mortgage brokers; and
o a change in the perception among many consumers and real estate service
providers that obtaining mortgage information on-line is less
dependable than obtaining mortgage information through more traditional
methods.
Slower response times could adversely affect use of our website. The Company may
be unable to develop and introduce new services or service enhancements in a
timely manner. In addition, because the market for on-line mortgage information
is in the early stages of development, data pertaining to the volume of visitors
to other mortgage websites is difficult to predict. If the volume of website
visitors falls below expectations of financial analysts or the public, The
Company may be unable to obtain quality advertising contracts. The occurrence of
any of these factors could have a material adverse effect upon the very nature
of our business and the continuation of our website.
IF MORTGAGE LOAN INTEREST RATES INCREASE AND/OR THERE IS A DECREASE IN THE
DEMAND FOR MORTGAGES, OUR BUSINESS COULD SUFFER.
Mortgage business depends upon the overall level of sales and refinancing of
residential real estate, as well as mortgage loan interest rates. The
residential real estate industry is highly cyclical. Shifts in the economy and
residential real estate values generally affect the number of home sales and new
housing starts. The demand for mortgage loan information increases as the number
of home sales increases. Declining interest rates generally increase mortgage
loan financing activity, because homeowners refinance existing mortgage loans to
obtain favorable interest rates. Rising interest rates, in contrast, discourage
refinancing activities and generally reduce the number of home sales that occur.
Any fluctuation in interest rates or an adverse change in residential real
estate or general economic conditions could cause a serious decline in
visitation to our website, memberships, and the retention rate of our previously
enrolled members, if any. The Company may be unable to develop our business if
higher interest rates and decreased home sales occur.
THE COMPANY PLANS TO OPERATE IN AN UNCERTAIN AND DEVELOPING MARKET.
The market for Internet services is recent and rapidly changing. Market demand
and acceptance for recently introduced Internet services is uncertain and
difficult to predict. The success of our website will depend upon the adoption
of the Internet by a broad base of consumers and vendors. There can be no
assurance of widespread acceptance of Internet commerce in general, including
Internet mortgage information and services. Companies now offering services
similar to ours have relied on consumers and vendors who use traditional means
of commerce. Consumers and vendors must accept and utilize novel ways of
conducting business and exchanging information if our business is to be
successful.
THE COMPANY WILL RELY ON AND HAVE MINIMAL CONTROL OVER THIRD PARTIES.
The Company expects that our operations will depend on a number of third parties
over which the Company will have limited control. The Company does not plan to
own an Internet gateway, but instead the Company will rely on an Internet
Service Provider to host our website. The Company may experience interruptions
in our website connection and our telecommunications access due to our reliance
upon third parties. The Company anticipates that the Company will use software
that is dependent on operating system, database and server software developed
and produced by and licensed by third parties. The Company may discover errors
and defects in this third party software and rely on the third parties to
correct these errors and defects in a timely manner. Accordingly, continuous or
prolonged interruptions in our website connection or in our telecommunications
access would have an adverse effect upon consumer perception of our ability to
provide information in a timely and efficient manner.
THE COMPANY WILL BE AT RISK OF SYSTEM FAILURE, SINGLE SITE FAILURE, AND FAILURE
OF DELIVERY.
Our success will also be dependent upon our communications software and
hardware. Our systems will be vulnerable to damage from earthquake, fire,
floods, power loss, telecommunications failures, break-ins and similar events.
Failure of information delivery can occur due to e-mail system, hosting site
and/or local system failures. The Company has no insurance coverage on our
property or business interruption insurance coverage and The Company does not
intend to obtain this coverage in the near future. The Company may be vulnerable
to computer viruses, physical or electronic break-ins, deliberate attempts by
third parties to exceed the capacity of our systems leading to interruptions,
delays, loss of data or cessation of service. The occurrence of any of these
events could cause our current and prospective users to question our ability to
keep their information confidential.
THE COMPANY WILL BE AT RISK FOR INTERNET COMMERCE SECURITY BREACHES THAT COULD
IMPAIR OUR BUSINESS.
A significant barrier to entry in the area of electronic commerce and
communications is the secure transmission of confidential information over
public networks. The Company will rely on encryption and authentication
technology licensed from third parties to provide the security and
authentication necessary to effect secure transmission of confidential
information. There can be no assurance that advances in computer capabilities,
new discoveries in the field of cryptography or other events or developments
will not result in a compromise or breach of the algorithms The Company may use
to protect customer transaction data. If any such compromise of our security
were to occur, The Company may be subject to damage claims from our users or
others.
A party who is able to circumvent our security measures could misappropriate
proprietary information. The Company may be required to expend significant
capital and other resources to protect against security breaches or to alleviate
problems caused by breaches. Concerns over the security of Internet transactions
and the privacy of users may also inhibit the growth of the Internet generally,
and the World Wide Web in particular, especially as a means of conducting
commercial transactions. To the extent that our future activities or those of
third party contractors whom the Company may use involve the storage and
transmission of proprietary information, such as credit card numbers, security
breaches could expose us to a risk of loss or litigation. There can be no
assurance that the Company will be able to implement security measures that will
prevent security breaches.
THE COMPANY HAS SUBSTANTIAL NEAR-TERM CAPITAL NEEDS; THE COMPANY MAY BE UNABLE
TO OBTAIN NEEDED ADDITIONAL FUNDING.
The Company will require funding over the next twenty-four months to develop our
business. In fact, the Company has minimal capital for operations and the
Company has needs for immediate funding. The Company currently has no source of
funds. Our capital requirements will depend on many factors including, but not
limited to, the timing of further development of our web site and the growth of
the Internet. If additional funds are raised through the issuance of equity
securities, the percentage ownership of our current shareholders will be
reduced. Moreover, those equity securities may have rights, preferences, and
privileges senior to those of the holders of our common stock. There can be no
assurance that additional capital will be available on terms favorable to us or
our shareholders.
Our cash requirements may vary substantially depending on our rate of
development, research results, competitive and technological advances and other
factors. If adequate funds are not available, the Company may be required to
curtail operations or to obtain funds by entering into collaboration agreements
on unattractive terms. Our inability to raise capital would impair the technical
and presentational aspects of our website and our marketing abilities.
THE COMPANY SUBSTANTIAL LONG-TERM CAPITAL NEEDS; THE COMPANY MAY BE UNABLE TO
OBTAIN NEEDED ADDITIONAL FUNDING.
Substantial expenditures will be required to further develop our web site and to
market our services. The level of expenditures required for these activities
will depend in part on whether The Company develops and market our services
independently or with other companies through collaborative arrangements. Our
future capital requirements will also depend on one or more of the following
factors:
o market acceptance of our services;
o the extent and progress of our research and development programs;
o competing technological and market developments; and
o the costs of commercializing our services.
There can be no assurance that funding will be available on favorable terms to
permit successful commercialization of our website, if at all.
In addition, the Company has no credit facility or other committed sources of
capital. The Company may be unable to establish credit arrangements on
satisfactory terms, if at all. If capital resources are insufficient to meet our
future capital requirements, The Company may have to raise additional funds to
continue development of our website. There can be no assurance that such funds
will be available on favorable terms, if at all.
To the extent that additional capital is raised through the sale of equity
and/or convertible debt securities, the issuance of such securities will likely
result in dilution to our shareholders. If adequate funds are not available, The
Company may be unable to develop our operations to a sufficient level to
generate revenues or become profitable.
IF THE COMPANY ISSUES FUTURE SHARES, PRESENT INVESTORS' PER SHARE VALUE WILL BE
DILUTED.
The Company is authorized to issue maximum stock of 25,000,000 common shares. As
of December 31, 2002, there were 7,551,000 common shares issued and outstanding.
The Board of Directors has authority to issue the balance of 17,449,000 shares
of our authorized stock without shareholder consent, on terms and conditions set
in the discretion of the Board, which may dilute the value of your stock.
OUR PRINCIPAL STOCKHOLDER CONTROLS OUR COMPANY.
Our principal stockholder president and Director, James Charuk, currently, owns
approximately 66% of our common stock. Therefore, he will have significant
influence over all matters requiring approval by our stockholders, but not
requiring the approval of the minority stockholders. In addition, James Charuk
will be able to elect all of the members of our Board of Directors, allowing him
to exercise significant control of our affairs and management. In addition,
James Charuk may affect most corporate matters requiring stockholder approval by
written consent, without a duly-noticed and duly-held meeting of stockholders.
IF THE COMPANY LOSE ANY OF ITS KEY PERSONNEL, OUR BUSINESS WOULD BE IMPAIRED.
Our success is heavily dependent upon the continued active participation of our
President CFO,and chief executive officer, James Charuk. Loss of his services
could have a material adverse effect upon our business development. The Company
does not maintain "key person" life insurance on James Charuk's life. The
Company does not have a written employment agreement with James Charuk. There
can be no assurance that the Company will be able to recruit or retain other
qualified personnel, should it be necessary to do so.
THE COMPANY FACES COMPETITION FROM OTHER ENTITIES PROVIDING SERVICES SIMILAR TO
OURS.
The Company will face intense competition in all aspects of the mortgage
business. We will compete with financial intermediaries, commercial banks,
savings associations, credit unions, loan brokers and insurance companies that
also provide mortgage information and services to the public. These companies
may offer convenience and customer service superior to that offered by our
company.
In addition, these companies may have better marketing and distribution
channels. There can be no assurance that The Company will be able to compete
effectively in this highly competitive industry, which could have a material
adverse impact upon market acceptance of our website and the information The
Company wish to disseminate.
THE COMPANY NEVER PAID DIVIDENDS.
The Company never paid dividends. The Company does not anticipate declaring or
paying dividends in the foreseeable future. Our retained earnings, if any, will
finance the development and expansion of our business. Our dividends will be at
our Board of Directors' discretion and contingent upon our financial condition,
earnings, capital requirements and other factors. Future dividends may also be
affected by covenants contained in loan or other financing documents The Company
may execute. Therefore, there can be no assurance that cash dividends of any
kind will ever be paid.
OUR BUSINESS PLAN INCORPORATES ESTIMATES RATHER THAN ACTUAL FIGURES.
The discussion of our future business is management's best estimate and analysis
of the potential market, opportunities and difficulties that the Company face.
There can be no assurances that our estimates and analysis accurately reflect
our opportunities and potential for success. Competitive and economic forces
make forecasting of revenues and costs difficult and unpredictable.
ITEM 2. DESCRIPTION OF PROPERTY.
Our executive offices are located at 3503 Cedar Locust, Sugarland, TX 77479,
telephone (713) 265-8660, where The Company shares space in the offices our
President, James Charuk. The space is approximately 400 square feet total, of
which we occupy a small portion without charge. The Company feels that this
space is adequate for our needs at this time, and The Company feels that The
Company will be able to locate adequate space in the future, if needed, on
commercially reasonable terms.
ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS.
The Company is not aware of any pending or threatened legal proceedings which
involve SMI Products, Inc.
ITEM 4. SUBMISSION OF MATTERS TO A VOTE OF SECURITY HOLDERS.
Our annual report contains the required audited financial statements. We are not
required to deliver an annual report to security holders and will not
voluntarily deliver a copy of the annual report to the security holders. The
reports and other information filed by us will be available for inspection and
copying at the public reference facilities of the Commission, 450 Fifth Street,
N.W., Washington, D.C. 20549.
PART II
ITEM 5. MARKET FOR COMMON EQUITY AND RELATED STOCKHOLDER MATTERS.
Market Information. Our common stock is traded on the OTC Bulletin Board, of the
N.A.S.D.. There is limited trading activity in our securities, and there can be
no assurance that a regular trading market for our common stock will ever be
developed. The OTCBB securities are not listed and traded on the floor of an
organized national or regional stock exchanges. Instead, OTCBB securities
transactions are conducted through a telephone and computer network connecting
dealers in stocks. Over-the-counter stocks are traditionally smaller companies
that do not meet the financial and other listing requirements of a regional or
national stock exchange. As of December 31, 2002, there were approximately 60
holders of record of our common stock.
ITEM 6. PLAN OF OPERATIONS
The discussion contained in this prospectus contains "FORWARD-LOOKING
STATEMENTS" that involve risk and uncertainties. These statements may be
identified by the use of terminology such as "BELIEVES," "EXPECTS," "MAY,"
"WILL," "SHOULD" or "ANTICIPATES" or expressing this terminology negatively or
similar expressions or by discussions of strategy. The cautionary statements
made in this prospectus are applicable to all related forward-looking statements
wherever they appear in this prospectus. Our actual results could differ
materially from those discussed in this prospectus. Important factors that could
cause or contribute to these differences include those discussed under the
caption entitled "RISK FACTORS," as well as those discussed elsewhere in this
registration statement.
We are a development stage company without operations or revenues. We are unable
to satisfy cash requirements without management's financial support or other
funding. Our management and certain investors have made $50,100 of capital
contributions to our business. We anticipate, but have no assurance, that we
will meet our cash requirements for the foreseeable future through the financial
support of our management. Management's capital contributions will be
accomplished through interest bearing promissory notes between OUR COMPANY and
management.
No promissory notes are currently in effect. We have not determined the amount
of funds that will be necessary for management to contribute at this time. Nor
is there any assurance our management will have funds available to loan us as
and when we require funds. In this event, we will be required to seek loans
and/or equity funding from third parties, and there is no assurance we will be
able to do so.
Over the next twelve months, we plan to further develop our WEB SITE to provide
mortgage related information. Specifically, during the next 12 months, we
anticipate focusing our efforts on the following specific areas of operations:
1. Internet marketing
2. Maintaining and enhancing content of WEBSITE
3. Subscriber payment credit card processing
We will require additional funds to further develop our WEBSITE. Although we
plan to raise additional funds, we have not yet determined how, where or when we
will obtain these funds. There is no assurance that we will be able to obtain
financing for our business development. If adequate funds are not available to
us, we believe that our business development will be adversely affected.
Our future capital requirements will also depend on one or more of the following
factors:
o market acceptance of our services;
o the extent and progress of our research and development programs;
o competing technological and market developments; and
o the costs of commercializing our services.
There can be no assurance that funding will be available on favorable terms to
permit successful commercialization of our WEBSITE or be successful in our
business operations.
In addition, we have no credit facility or other committed sources of capital.
We may be unable to establish credit arrangements on satisfactory terms, if at
all. If capital resources are insufficient to meet our future capital
requirements, we may have to raise additional funds to continue development of
our WEBSITE. There can be no assurance that the funds will be available on
favorable terms, if at all.
To the extent that additional capital is raised through the sale of equity
and/or convertible debt securities, the issuance of the securities will likely
result in dilution to our shareholders.
Until such time as our WEBSITE is fully developed, we do not expect to have any
significant revenues from our operations. We anticipate that if our WEBSITE
becomes fully operational, we will generate revenues from the sale of
subscriptions to the WEBSITE and though the sale of advertisements. There is no
assurance that we will be successful in selling subscriptions or advertising for
our WEBSITE. We have no other sources of revenue. Therefore, if we are not
successful in this regard, we will be unable to achieve revenues under our
current business plan.
We do not anticipate significant research and development expenses over the next
twelve months. We do not expect to purchase or sell any plant and significant
equipment or make any significant changes in the number of employees over the
next twelve months.
The principal uses of capital received by us to date ($50,100), are as follows:
Auditors $ 4,719.60
Legal $ 836.70
Information Service Contract $ 2,700.00
Business Plan Development $24,481.65

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT
To the Stockholders,
SMI Products, Inc.
We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of SMI Products, Inc. (A
Development Stage Company) as of December 31, 2002 and 2001 and the related
statements of operations, stockholders' deficiency and cash flows for each of
the years in the two year period ended December 31, 2002 and from June 17, 1996
(Date of 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 audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted
in the United States of America. Those standards require that we plan and
perform an audit to obtain reasonable assurance 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 audits provide a reasonable basis
for our opinion.
In our opinion, these financial statements referred to above present fairly, in
all material respects, the financial position of SMI Products, Inc. as of
December 31, 2002 and 2001, and the results of its operations and its cash flows
for each of the years in the two year period ended December 31, 2002 and from
June 17, 1996 (Date of 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 1 to the
financial statements, the Company is in the development stage, has no
established source of revenue and is dependent on its ability to raise capital
from shareholders or other sources to sustain operations. These factors, along
with other matters as set forth in Note 1, raise substantial doubt that the
Company will be able to continue as a going concern. The financial statements do
not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this
uncertainty.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
December 31, 2002 and 2001
(Stated in US Dollars)
Note 1 NATURE AND CONTINUANCE OF OPERATIONS
The Company was incorporated in the State of Nevada on June 17,
1996.
The Company is in the development stage and is in the business of
internet real estate mortgage services. The Company has developed
a website and is in the pre-operating stage. The Company earned
revenue from website advertising and is continuing to develop its
revenue model.
These financial statements have been prepared on a going concern
basis. The Company has accumulated losses of $75,129 since
inception and has a working capital deficiency of $24,529 as at
December 31, 2002. Its ability to continue as a going concern is
dependent upon the ability of the Company to generate profitable
operations in the future and/or to obtain the necessary financing
to meet its obligations and repay its liabilities arising from
normal business operations when they come due. The outcome of
these matters cannot be predicted, with any certainty, at this
time. Management plans to continue to provide for its capital
needs during the year ended December 31, 2003 by the continued
development of its internet real estate mortgage services. In
addition, the Company's capital requirements during the year ended
December 31, 2003 will be supplemented by issuing equity
securities. These financial statements do not include any
adjustments to the amounts and classification of assets and
liabilities that may be necessary should the Company be unable to
continue as a going concern.
Note 2 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES
The financial statements of the Company have been prepared in
accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the
United States of America. Because a precise determination of many
assets and liabilities is dependent upon future events, the
preparation of financial statements for a period necessarily
involved the use of estimates which have been made using careful
judgement. Actual results may differ from these estimates.
The financial statements, in management's opinion, have been
properly prepared within reasonable limits of materiality and
within the framework of the significant accounting policies
summarized below:
DEVELOPMENT STAGE COMPANY
The Company is a development stage company as defined in Statement
of Financial Accounting Standards No. 7.
INCOME TAXES
The Company uses the liability method of accounting for income
taxes pursuant to Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No.
109 "Accounting for Income Taxes".
SMI Products, Inc.
(A Development Stage Company)
Notes to the Financial Statements
December 31, 2002 and 2001
(Stated in US Dollars) - Page 2
Note 2 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES - (cont'd)
BASIC LOSS PER SHARE
The Company reports basic loss per share in accordance with
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 128, "Earnings Per
Share". Basic loss per share is computed using the weighted
average number of shares outstanding during the years.
FAIR MARKET VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
The carrying values of cash, advance receivable, accounts payable,
due to related parties and loans payable approximate fair value
because of the short maturity of those instruments. Unless
otherwise noted it is management opinion that the Company is not
exposed to significant interest, currency or credit risks arising
from these financial instruments.
NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARDS
Management does not believe that any recently issued, but not yet
effective, accounting standards if currently adopted could have a
material effect on the accompanying financial statements.
REVENUE RECOGNITION
Revenue from advertising is recognized when earned, upon receipt
of a non-cancellable contract and collection is reasonably
assured.
WEBSITE COSTS
The Company recognizes the costs incurred in the development of
the Company's website in accordance with EITF 00-2 "Accounting for
Website Development Costs" and, with the provisions of AICPA
Statement of Position No. 98-1, "Accounting for the Costs of
Computer Software Developed or Obtained for Internal Use".
Accordingly, direct costs incurred during the application stage of
development are capitalized and amortized over the estimated
useful life. Fees incurred for web site hosting are expensed over
the period of the benefit. Costs of operating a web site are
expensed as incurred.
Note 3 ADVANCE RECEIVABLE
The advance receivable, from a non-affiliated party, is unsecured,
non-interest bearing with no specific terms for repayment. This
advance was provided for future expenses to be incurred on behalf
of the Company.
During the year ended December 31, 2001, $912 was utilized for
travel expenses ($648) and legal expenses ($264).
During the year ended December 31, 2002, $87 was utilized for
office expenses.

Note 6 DEFERRED TAX ASSETS
The Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement Number
109 in Accounting for Income Taxes ("FAS 109") which is effective
for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 1992. FAS 109
requires the use of the asset and liability method of accounting
of income taxes. Under the assets and liability method of FAS 109,
deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future
tax consequences attributable to temporary differences between the
financial statements carrying amounts of existing assets and
liabilities and loss carryforwards and their respective tax bases.
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 following table summarizes the significant components of the
Company's deferred tax assets:
Total
________
Deferred Tax Assets
Net operating loss carryforward $ 13,794
========
Gross deferred tax assets $ 13,794
Valuation allowance for deferred tax asset (13,794)
________
$ -
========
The amount taken into income as deferred tax assets must reflect
that portion of the income tax loss carryforwards which is likely
to be realized from future operations. The Company has chosen to
provide an allowance of 100% against all available income tax loss
carryforwards, regardless of their time of expiry.
SMI Products, Inc.
(A Development Stage Company)
Notes to the Financial Statements
December 31, 2002 and 2001
(Stated in US Dollars) - Page 4
Note 7 INCOME TAXES
No provision for income taxes has been provided in these financial
statements due to the net loss. At December 31, 2002, the Company
has net operating loss carryforwards, which expire commencing in
2016 totalling approximately $75,129. The potential tax benefit of
these losses, if any, has not been recorded in the financial
statements.
