PROSPECTUS
CAL-BAY INTERNATIONAL, INC.
20,000,000 Shares of Common Stock
This prospectus relates to the resale of up to $10,000,000 worth of our common stock by the selling shareholder, Dutchess Private Equities Fund, LP. The selling shareholder may sell the stock from time to time on a best efforts basis in the over the counter market or in privately negotiated transactions. We are registering 20,000,000 shares of common stock. The 20,000,000 shares being registered will be offered from time to time under an equity line of credit agreement with the selling shareholder. Cal-Bay International is not selling any shares of common stock in this offering and none of the sale proceeds will go directly to us. However, we may receive up to $10,000,000 of proceeds from the sale of additional shares to Dutchess under the equity line. The selling price of the shares will be determined by prevailing market factors at the time of their resale.
With respect to the credit agreement we describe in this prospectus, Dutchess is an underwriter within the meaning of the Securities Act of 1933. Under the agreement, Dutchess is obliged to purchase our stock on demand at 95% of the prevailing market price. This 5% discount from the market price will be an underwriting discount. In addition, we will pay an unaffiliated broker dealer a 1% commission on each advance. None of the proceeds from the sale of stock by the selling shareholder will be placed in escrow, trust or any similar account.
Our common stock is quoted on the Over the Counter Bulletin Board under the symbol CBYI. On December 23, 2003, the average of the bid and ask prices of our common stock was $0.034 per share.
Investing in the common stock involves a high degree of risk. You should not invest in the common stock unless you can afford to lose your entire investment. Please refer to the Risk Factors beginning on page 7 of this prospectus.
Neither the Securities and Exchange Commission nor any state securities commission has approved or disapproved these securities or determined if this prospectus is truthful or complete. Any representation to the contrary is a criminal offense.

SUMMARY INFORMATION
The items in the following summary are described in more detail in this prospectus. This summary provides an overview of selected information and does not contain all the information you should consider. You should also read the more detailed information set out in this prospectus, including the financial statements.
Our History
We originally incorporated in the State of Nevada on December 9, 1998 under the name Var-Jazz Entertainment, Inc. Var-Jazz was organized to engage in the business of music production and sales. We did not succeed in the music business and the board of directors determined it was in our best interests to seek additional business opportunities. On March 8, 2001, we acquired Cal-Bay Controls, Inc. as a wholly owned subsidiary in exchange for 17,112,000 shares of our common stock. Pursuant to the agreement, we changed our name to Cal-Bay International, Inc.
Cal-Bay Controls formed in 1976 as a sole proprietorship. Our current president acquired Cal-Bay Controls in 1990. On February 22, 2001, Cal-Bay Controls incorporated in the state of Nevada and was subsequently acquired by Var-Jazz on March 8, 2001. On March 7, 2002, our Form 10-SB registration statement became effective and in June of 2002 we moved from the Pink Sheets to the Over the Counter Bulletin Board where our stock is currently traded under the symbol CBYI.
We are authorized to issue 75,000,000 shares of common stock. At the date of this prospectus there are 31,169,031 shares of our common stock issued and outstanding. Of the currently issued and outstanding common stock, approximately 14,403,680 are free trading and approximately 16,765,351 are restricted.
Our business
Cal-Bay International supplies analytical products, services and associated equipment through license and distribution agreements. We also target new technologies and products for research and development, marketing and distribution.
Cal-Bay International operates through our two subsidiaries, Cal-Bay Controls (CBC) and Cal-Bay Analytical (CBA). CBC primarily serves the process, environmental and safety markets, while CBA primarily serves the laboratory markets. Our current operations are focused mainly in California and Nevada with a small percentage of sales made elsewhere in the United States. We hope to develop additional domestic markets and eventually add international markets. However, we are not currently pursuing international markets and have no definitive plans to do so in the immediate future.
Facilities
Our principal executive offices are located at 1582 Parkway Loop, Suite G, Tustin, California 92780. Our telephone number is 714-258-7070.
The Offering
This offering relates to the resale of up to $10,000,000 worth of our common stock by the selling shareholder, Dutchess Private Equities Fund, LP. We are registering 20,000,000 shares under this registration statement. The shares are to be offered under an equity line of credit agreement with Dutchess. Under the agreement, we may, at our discretion, periodically issue shares to Dutchess which
-5-
they will purchase on demand. We will have complete discretion in deciding when to issue shares to Dutchess and how many shares to issue.
In exchange for buying our shares on demand, Dutchess will receive a 5% discount based on the lowest closing best bid price of our common stock during the 10 trading days immediately following our demand that they purchase our shares. Dutchess may then sell our stock in the open market through an independent broker-dealer or hold our stock in their own portfolio. We have engaged Charleston Capital Corporation, an unaffiliated independent broker-dealer, to act as placement agent in selling the shares. We have agreed to pay Charleston a 1% commission on each transaction.
Unless the market price of our stock increases dramatically, the 20,000,000 shares being registered will be insufficient to draw the full amount available under the equity line. During the past 90 days, the market price for our stock has ranged from $.03 to $.08 per share. At $.03 per share, the maximum gross amount we could raise by selling the 20,000,000 shares being registered would be $600,000. We would have to sell 666,666,666 shares at $.03 per share to draw the full $10,000,000 available under the equity line. At $.08 per share, the maximum amount we could raise by selling the 20,000,000 shares being registered would be $1,600,000. We would have to sell 250,000,000 shares at $.08 per share to draw the full $10,000,000 available under the equity line. As a result, we may periodically file subsequent registration statements to issue additional shares until the $10,000,000 purchase pri ce is met.
Our Articles of Incorporation authorize us to issue up to 75,000,000 shares of common stock. We currently have 31,169,031 shares issued and outstanding meaning a maximum of 43,830,969 shares could be offered under the equity line. Shareholder approval would be required to amend our Articles to authorize the issuance of additional shares.

RISK FACTORS
Investing in stock is speculative and involves a high degree of risk. You should be able to bear a complete loss of your investment. The following risk factors describe material risks and uncertainties presently known to us that could negatively impact our current operations. However, additional risks and uncertainties not presently known to us or that are currently deemed immaterial may also impair our business and threaten your investment. Potential investors should carefully consider the following risk factors before investing in our securities.
Risks Related to Our Company
Our lack of market studies and industry research may limit our growth and diminish the value of our stock.
We have conducted only informal market studies concerning our industry and business plan. Our business strategy is based on the experience and expertise of our management. We do not have the resources to develop formal market studies and do not plan on conducting additional research. As a result, we may fail to identify and capitalize on promising business opportunities, new technologies or emerging trends. If we fail to identify emerging trends and integrate new technologies to capitalize on market demand, our business will not grow and the value of our stock will decrease.
We are not profitable and because of our history of losses, you may lose your investment.
During the past two years we have recorded net losses of $713,766 in 2002 and $23,838 in 2001. Through the first nine months of 2003 our net loss was $499,991. We do not have any established history of profitability and will likely continue to incur losses during the foreseeable future. Our lack of profitability may lead to a total loss of your investment.
The majority of our revenue comes from two customers and the loss of their business could substantially reduce our income.
Our primary source of revenue derives from ongoing sales generated by our subsidiary, Cal-Bay Controls. During the past two years, two key customers have accounted for the majority of these sales. If either of these companies go out of business, fail to renew their accounts, or find alternate suppliers, our revenue stream will be severely diminished.
We rely on our executive officers to manage our company and if they leave, we may be forced to suspend operations.
Our business is managed by our executive officers, Mr. Robert Thompson and Mr. Charles Prebay. Our executives have been working with us for over ten years and have extensive knowledge of the analytical, environmental and safety systems we market. We operate in a highly specialized industry and the experience and expertise of our executives would be very difficult to replace. We have no formal
-7-
employment agreements in place with our management team and have no safeguards to prevent them
from seeking other employment or even working for our competitors. If our executive officers leave, we could be forced to curtail or suspend operations while we search for qualified management. This could result in significantly reduced revenues.
Our growth strategy depends on acquiring other companies, if we are unable to acquire and successfully manage other businesses we will not be competitive.
Our growth strategy will include mergers and acquisitions of other related companies. We may not be successful in identifying and acquiring suitable candidates on favorable terms which could stifle our growth. In addition, we may not be able to compete with other companies that have greater resources for acquisitions so we may miss promising business opportunities.
Even if we are successful in acquiring other companies, our business may suffer. Additional acquisitions may result in non-cash charges, such as inventory and distribution step-ups that may reduce our reported earnings. Further, we may be unable to successfully integrate operations from other companies with our existing activities. There is an inherent risk that any businesses we acquire will fail to perform to our expectations while drawing capital resources from our current operations. If this happens, our capital resources will diminish and our liabilities will increase.
Our growth strategy depends on developing new products, if we are unable to develop and produce new technologies on a cost-effective basis we will not be competitive.
Our growth strategy also focuses on developing new products and acquiring new technologies. Product development requires substantial capital funding for research, equipment and personnel. Developing new products also entails a risk that the new products will not perform in accordance with expectations or be accepted in the market. We have limited resources for research and development. Increasing funding for product development would reduce operating capital for maintaining current operations. In addition, there may not be market demand for any new products or technologies we acquire or develop. If we are unable to successfully develop new products and technologies for our target markets in a cost-effective way, our business will not grow and the value of our stock will decrease.
We will require additional capital to fully implement our business plan, if we cannot generate capital, our business will likely fail.
The analytical products and safety system industry is very competitive. To fully implement our business plan, we will require a continuous stream of capital for acquisitions and product development. Although we have sufficient working capital to conduct our business operations as they presently exist, we have insufficient working capital to expand our business as described in our business plan. In addition, we frequently have large accounts receivables that impact our working capital. Our long-term success will depend, in part, on our ability to operate profitably and to arrange for additional capital funding as required. To generate sufficient capital to fully implement our business plan, we may be forced to seek financing on unfavorable terms which would result in increased liabilities and substantial dilution to our existing shareholders.
Our executive officers and directors control a substantial portion of our common stock, therefore, your influence over company policy will be negligible.
Our executive officers and directors own approximately 45% of our outstanding common stock. Consequently, our executive officers and directors will have the most influence on matters submitted to our shareholders for approval, including the election of directors. In addition, our executive officers and
-8-
directors will continue to have broad discretion in conducting our daily operations and deciding what business opportunities to pursue. Our management is committed to making decisions that are in the best interests of the company, however, these decisions may not always correspond with the wishes of our minority shareholders. The influence of minority shareholders over our management decisions, company policy and the appointment of directors will be negligible.
Because our securities are not listed on an exchange, you may not be able to easily trade your stock which could diminish the value of your investment.
Our common stock is traded on the Over the Counter Bulletin Board. The Bulletin Board is a quotation service for small public companies and is not a stock exchange such as NASDAQ or the NYSE. Companies that trade on the Bulletin Board generally have lower capitalization, fewer shareholders and smaller trade volume than companies trading on public exchanges. As a result, there is a limited market for trading of our shares and there is no assurance that a larger trading market will ever exist. The limited market for our shares may make it difficult for you to trade your stock which could reduce the value of your investment.
The limited market for our stock makes us susceptible to market fluctuations which could reduce the value of your investment.
Our stock is thinly traded compared to larger, more widely known companies in our industry. Thinly traded common stock can be more volatile than common stock trading on an established exchange. The market price of our common stock may also fluctuate significantly due to market factors that may not affect larger companies on established exchanges. Many of these factors are beyond our control and include the following:
•
the relative absence of securities analysts covering small business issuers and distributing research and recommendations about their stock;
•
the reluctance of brokers and investment firms to recommend or trade stock issued by small public companies;
•
the reluctance of investors to purchase stock issued by small public companies; and
•
the low trading volume and moderate liquidity of our common stock.
Any of these factors could have a significant and adverse impact on the market price of our common stock. In addition, the stock market in general frequently experiences volatility that is unrelated or disproportionate to the operating performance of particular companies. These broad market fluctuations may adversely affect the trading price of our common stock, regardless of our actual operating performance.
Because of our limited assets and low stock price, our common stock is subject to penny stock rules that impose significant restrictions on trading.
Our common stock is subject to the penny stock rules. These rules severely restrict the tradability of a small issuer’s common stock. A penny stock is any stock issued by a company that:
•
has less than $5,000,000 in tangible assets;
•
is not listed on a national exchange; and
•
sells for less than $5.00 a share.
-9-
Our common stock is not listed on a national exchange and we do not have $5,000,000 in tangible assets. In addition, our common stock has always traded at a price less than $5.00 a share. As a result, our common stock is subject to the trading restrictions of the penny stock rules. These restrictions include:
•
Restrictions on brokers in recommending our stock;
•
Restrictions on shareholders in selling our stock
•
Restrictions on investors in buying our stock
These restrictions will make it more difficult to sell your shares and could reduce the value of your investment.
Because we are located in Southern California, natural disasters, including earthquakes or fires could destroy our facilities and/or our inventory
Our executive offices are located in Tustin, California and most of our business is conducted in Southern California. Currently, all of our facilities are located in earthquake hazard areas that are subject to seismic activity. In addition, many areas of California in which we do business have been affected by wildfires and landslides in recent years. An earthquake, fire or other catastrophe could destroy our facilities or those of our clients. If this occurs, we may lose key accounts, be forced to suspend operations, or have to terminate activities.
Risks Related to Our Industry
Because we distribute regulatory systems, changes in environmental regulations could harm our business
Many of the products sold by our subsidiary, Cal-Bay Controls, are “regulatory-driven” in the sense that most clients do not purchase these products unless required to do so by state or federal regulatory agencies. During the past two years, federal environmental regulatory agencies have been less aggressive in enforcing environmental regulations requiring new environmental equipment. If these regulatory agencies continue to reduce the enforcement of existing regulations and reduce the number of new regulations it could cause continuing damage to our results of operations. In addition, changes to existing regulations that reduce demand for the environmental and analytical instrumentation systems could eliminate a market for our products and reduce revenues.
Our dependence on third party manufacturers for licenses and equipment could jeopardize our business
Cal-Bay produces operational systems that integrate a variety of products and components from numerous vendors. For example, we provide Continuous Emissions Monitoring Systems for regulatory compliance. On these projects, Cal-Bay often acts as the prime contractor with several sub-contractors, suppliers and manufacturers who are responsible for designing, manufacturing, installing and certifying the systems. We depend on licenses with various equipment manufacturers in order to have products to sell. If the licenses are not renewed or the manufacturers cannot deliver equipment, we would be unable to market our product line which would severely limit our revenues.
If advances in technology make the products we distribute obsolete, we will lose business.
We believe the technology used in the analytic systems we distribute is state-of-the-art. However, the development of new technologies might make these systems technologically or economically obsolete. In addition, refinements to existing technologies might reduce the value or demand for the products we sell. The development of new types of measurement equipment or technology by our competitors may render our products obsolete and eliminate the market for our products.

Risks Related to This Offering
Because we are issuing new shares, existing shareholders will experience dilution which could lower the value of our stock.
The sale of shares under our equity line will dilute the common stock held by our existing shareholders. As a result, our net income per share could decrease and the market price of our common stock could decline. In addition, the lower our stock price is, the more shares of common stock we will have to issue under the equity line to draw down the full amount. The lower our stock price, the greater the dilution will be for our existing shareholders. The higher our stock price, the greater the dilution will be for new shareholders.
Because we are issuing new shares, the ownership interest of existing shareholders will be diminished.
As new shares are issued under the equity line, the ownership interest of existing shareholders will diminish. This will reduce the voting power of existing shareholders and lessen their influence over important company decisions such as appointing directors and amending our corporate charter.
These shares will be offered from time to time at fluctuating prices, as a result, you may pay a higher price than other investors.
The common shares being registered will be offered at our discretion on a periodic basis at fluctuating prices. Under our agreement, the selling shareholder must purchase our common stock on demand. The price at the time of sale will be based on the prevailing market price of our common stock as quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board. Accordingly, the price you pay in this offering may be higher than the prices paid by other investors who may have more freedom in choosing the time of sale and negotiating prices.
The shares being registered will be sold at a discount relative to the market price so we will receive less proceeds than we might in a direct sale.
The shares being registered will be offered to Dutchess at a 5 % discount relative to the prevailing market price. We will also pay a 1% commission to Charleston Capital Corporation, an independent broker-dealer for placing the shares on each transaction. As a result, we will receive only 94% of the proceeds of any sales under the equity line compared to up to 100% of the proceeds we could realize by selling our shares in a private offering.
These shares are being issued on a periodic basis in limited amounts, if we are not be able to draw down enough money under the equity line when needed, we may miss business opportunities.
We have entered an equity line of credit agreement with the selling shareholder. We intend to use the equity line to provide additional capital for potential acquisitions or product development for the next 36 months. The number of shares we can offer during each sale period is limited by the dollar amount available under the equity line and our trading volume. As we release shares, the amount of financing available will decline while our volume may only increase marginally. As a result, we may not be able to draw money quickly enough to take advantage of potential business opportunities, or there may not be sufficient financing available to pursue these opportunities. Our failure to secure adequate financing in a timely fashion could jeopardize our business by making it impossible to compete with companies that have greater liquidity.
-11-
We have not registered sufficient shares to draw down the full amount available under the equity line and registering more shares may damage the market value of our stock.
We are registering 20,000,000 shares to be offered under the equity line of credit. This number of shares will be insufficient to draw the full $10,000,000 available under the equity line. During the past sixty days, the average market price of our stock has been $.04 per share. If we offer 20,000,000 shares at $.04 per share, the maximum gross proceeds generated would be $800,000. After discounts, commissions and offering costs, we would realize net proceeds of approximately $692,000. Once the initial 20,000,000 shares are sold under the equity line, we would be required to file a new registration statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission to register any additional shares. This would substantially increase our administrative expenses. In addition, offering additional shares would dilute the stock of existing shareholders and likely damage the market price of our stock.
The total number of shares we can issue is limited by our Articles of Incorporation, issuing additional shares could void our agreement with Dutchess and dilute our stock.
Our Articles of Incorporation authorize us to issue up to 75,000,000 shares of common stock. We currently have 31,169,031 shares issued and outstanding meaning a maximum of 43,830,969 shares could be offered under the equity line. Shareholder approval would be required to authorize the issuance of additional shares. However, an increase in the number of shares authorized could void our agreement with Dutchess and would severely dilute the value of our stock.
Special Note Regarding Forward Looking Statements
You should carefully consider the risk factors set forth above, as well as the other information contained in this prospectus. This prospectus contains forward-looking statements regarding events, conditions, and financial trends that may affect our plan of operation, business strategy, operating results, and financial position. You are cautioned that any forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance and are subject to risks and uncertainties. Actual results may differ materially from those included within the forward-looking statements as a result of various factors. Cautionary statements in the risk factors section and elsewhere in this prospectus identify important risks and uncertainties affecting our future, which could cause actual results to differ materially from the forward-looking statements made in this prospectus.
Shares Being Registered
We are registering 20,000,000 shares of common stock under this registration statement. The shares will be issued to the selling shareholder, Dutchess Private Equities Fund, LP. The 20,000,000 shares will be issued at our discretion under an equity line of credit agreement with Dutchess. After this registration becomes effective, we may periodically register additional shares.
Equity Line of Credit
In December of 2003, we finalized an equity line of credit investment agreement with Dutchess Private Equities Fund, L.P. Under the equity line, we may periodically sell shares of common stock to Dutchess to raise capital. We intend to use any funds from the equity line to provide supplemental capital for potential acquisitions, future product development and to fund our working needs. The effectiveness of the sale of the shares under the equity line is conditioned upon us registering the shares of common stock with the Securities and Exchange Commission. We will pay the costs associated with this registration.
Under the equity line, we may periodically offer common shares to Dutchess which they must purchase on demand. Our demand that Dutchess purchase the shares is known as a “put notice.” Each time we issue a put notice, Dutchess is obliged to purchase our shares. In exchange for buying our shares on
-12-
demand, Dutchess will receive a 5% discount relative to lowest closing best bid price of our common stock during the ten trading days immediately following each put notice. We have engaged Charleston Capital Corporation, an unaffiliated registered broker-dealer, to act as placement agent for the shares being offered under the equity line. We have agreed to pay Charleston a 1% commission on each transaction for placing the shares. As a result, we will realize 94% of the gross proceeds relative to the market price. Dutchess will then hold our stock in its own portfolio or sell it in the open market through Westminster Securities, an independent broker-dealer.
We may continue to place put notices until Dutchess has purchased $10,000,000 worth of stock or 36 months after the effective date of the accompanying Registration Statement, whichever occurs first. We may also cancel the agreement at any time by providing written notice to Dutchess.
The maximum number of shares we can offer in each put is limited to either:
•
$10,000 worth of stock, or;
•
200% of the average daily volume of our stock for the ten trading days prior to the put notice date, multiplied by the average of the three daily closing best bid prices immediately preceding the put date. Provided that, any individual put cannot exceed $1,000,000.
The following table provides an example of how the volume restrictions would affect a put notice placed on December 8, 2003. This example is based on the closing best bid prices for the three days preceding the put and the average trading volume for the preceding ten days.
Average trading volume for the ten days before the put | Shares eligible for sale based on 200% of average trading volume | Gross proceeds at $.04, the lowest closing best bid during the ten days after the put | Net proceeds to Cal-Bay after discounts and commissions |

$6,823 |
We cannot predict the actual number of shares of common stock that will be issued pursuant to the equity line. This is because although the purchase price of the shares is fixed at the time of the put, the number of shares equivalent to the purchase price will fluctuate based on prevailing market conditions. In addition, we have not determined the total number of puts, if any, we intend to place.
Selling Shareholder
The selling shareholder is Dutchess Private Equities Fund, LP. Michael Novielli and Douglas Leighton are the managing members of Dutchess Capital Management, LLC which is the general partner to Dutchess Private Equities Fund, LP. Neither Dutchess nor its agents have a short position or have had a short position at any time since the investment agreement for the equity line was executed on December 22, 2003. The selling shareholder has not held a position or office, or had any other material relationship with us. The following table demonstrates the number and percentage of shares Dutchess could acquire under the equity line if we offer all 20,000,000 shares:
-13-
Shares Beneficially Owned Before Offering | Percentage of Outstanding Shares Beneficially Owned Before Offering | Shares to be Acquired Under Equity Line of Credit | Percentage of Currently Outstanding Shares to be Acquired Under Equity Line | Shares to be Sold in Offering | Percentage of Outstanding Shares Beneficially Owned After Offering |
675,675 | 2.1% | 20,000,000 | 0 | 20,000,000 | 40% |
Delivery of Put Notices
Once the registration becomes effective, we will have sole discretion deciding when and if to issue puts to Dutchess. We are not obliged to offer any shares to Dutchess under the equity line of credit. However, within seven days before the beginning of each fiscal quarter, we must provide Dutchess with an estimate of the amount of puts, if any, we intend to place during that quarter. If we choose to place a put, we must deliver the put notice to Dutchess stating the number of shares we intend to sell and the purchase price. We may not submit additional puts until the previous put notice has closed.
Mechanics
The closing will occur 13 days after the put notice. Prior to closing we will either deliver certificates representing the specified number of shares to Dutchess or electronically transfer the shares to their account. Dutchess will then pay us the put notice amount. If we do not deliver the shares on or before the closing date, we are subject to a late payment fee of $100 per day for each $10,000 worth of common stock that has not been issued.
Open Period
We may issue a put notice at any time during the open period. The open period begins on the date the Securities and Exchange Commission first declares the registration statement effective. It expires when Dutchess has made advances totaling $10,000,000 or 36 months after the registration statement becomes effective, whichever occurs first.
Purchase Price
For each purchase period starting with our issuance of a put notice, Dutchess will purchase shares of common stock from us at a price equal to 95% of the lowest closing best bid price for our common stock during the ten trading days immediately following the put notice.
Minimum Acceptable Price
We may cancel any portion of the put notice if the closing bid price is less than 75% of the closing bid prices for the previous 15 days. The cancellation must be in writing and must be faxed to Dutchess before 9:00 a.m. Eastern Time to prevent trading on the day the put notice is cancelled.
Maximum Put Notice Amount
We may not issue total put notices in excess of $10,000,000. The maximum number of shares we can submit in any single put notice is limited to either $10,000 worth of stock, or 200% of the average daily volume of our common stock for the 10 trading days before the put notice multiplied by the average
-14-
closing best bid prices during the three trading days immediately preceding the put notice date. Provided that, any individual put cannot exceed $1,000,000 worth of common stock.
Number of Shares to be Issued
We cannot determine the actual number of shares of common stock that we will issue under the equity line. This is because the purchase price of the shares will fluctuate based on prevailing market conditions and we have not determined the total amount, if any, we intend to draw. In recent weeks, the average market price of our stock has been approximately $.04 per share. At that price we would have to sell 250,000,000 shares of common stock to recognize the full amount available under the equity line. Our Articles of Incorporation authorize us to issue up to 75,000,000 shares of common stock. We currently have 31,169,031 shares issued and outstanding meaning a maximum of 43,830,969 shares could be offered under the equity line. Shareholder approval would be required to authorize the issuance of additional shares.
Use of Proceeds
We will not receive any proceeds from the sale of the shares by the selling shareholder. However, we expect to receive proceeds from Dutchess under the equity line. We cannot predict the total amount of proceeds we will receive from Dutchess because we have not determined the total amount of put notices we intend to issue. We expect to incur expenses of approximately $60,000 consisting primarily of professional fees incurred in connection with registering the 20,000,000 shares being offered. We intend to use any proceeds from the equity line to fund potential acquisitions or mergers, to develop new or improved products and technologies and as working capital for future expansion.
Determination of Offering Price
The 20,000,000 shares are to be offered by the selling shareholder from time to time at fluctuating market prices.
Dilution
Dilution refers to the reduction in value of existing shares when additional shares are issued. The lower the offering price, the greater the dilution will be to existing shareholders. The higher the offering price, the greater the dilution will be to new shareholders.
Dilution is calculated based on a company’s tangible book value before and after the new shares are issued. Tangible book value is determined by subtracting total current liabilities from tangible net assets and dividing the result by the number of shares outstanding. As of September 30, 2003, our total assets were $48,497 and our current liabilities were $39,228. As a result, on September 30, 2003 we had a tangible book value of $9,269 or $0.0004 per share.
Since these shares will be offered at fluctuating prices, the following table shows the dilution to your investment assuming 20,000,000 shares sold at various offering prices based on our tangible book value at September 30, 2003. On that date, we had 30,493,356 shares issued and outstanding. Subsequent to September 30, 2003, Dutchess purchased 675,675 shares independently from the equity line. To correspond with the financial information as of September 30, 2003, the following tables do not include the additional 675,675 shares purchased by Dutchess.

We are initially registering 20,000,000 shares to be offered under the equity line of credit. However, we may periodically file additional registration statements until Dutchess has purchased an aggregate $10,000,000 of common stock. The following table shows the number of shares that would have to be issued at varying prices to generate gross proceeds of $10,000,000 and the resulting dilution to potential investors.

Plan of Distribution
The selling shareholder intends to sell the common stock covered by this prospectus from time to time on the over-the-counter market, or in any other market where our shares of common stock are quoted. The selling shareholder and any brokers, dealers or agents that participate in the distribution of the common stock may be deemed to be underwriters, and any profit on the sale of common stock by them and any discounts, concessions or commissions they receive may be deemed to be underwriting discounts and commissions under the Securities Act.
Dutchess is an underwriter within the meaning of the Securities Act of 1933 in connection with the sale of common stock under the equity line agreement. Dutchess will buy stock from us at a purchase price of 95% of the lowest closing best bid price of our common stock on the OTC Bulletin Board or other principal trading market on which our common stock is traded during the ten trading days immediately following each put notice date. The 5% discount Dutchess receives will be an underwriting discount.
We will pay the expenses associated with registering the common stock being offered under this prospectus. We estimate that these offering expenses will be approximately $60,000. In addition, we will pay a 1% commission to Charleston Capital Corporation, an independent registered broker-dealer, on each transaction. We will not receive any proceeds from the sale of any of the shares of common stock by the selling shareholder. We will, however, receive proceeds from the sale of common stock under the equity line.
-17-
We have agreed to indemnify the selling shareholder and their controlling persons against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act. However, many states have securities laws mandating that common stock may only be sold through registered or licensed brokers or dealers. In addition, many states prohibit the sale of common stock unless the shares have been registered for sale in those states, or an exemption from registration is available. We will inform the selling shareholder that they must comply with applicable state securities laws and that any underwriters, brokers, dealers or agents effecting transactions on behalf of the selling shareholder must be registered to sell securities in all 50 states.
The Exchange Act prohibits illicit market-making activities and the selling shareholder should be aware that they must comply with the anti-manipulation provisions of Regulation M when purchasing, selling or distributing our common stock. Under Regulation M, the selling shareholder or their agents may not bid for, purchase, or attempt to induce any person to bid for or purchase, shares of our common stock while they are distributing shares covered by this prospectus. Accordingly, the selling shareholder is not permitted to cover short sales by purchasing shares while the distribution is taking place. We will advise the selling shareholder that if a particular offer of common stock is to be made on terms materially different from the information set forth in the above Plan of Distribution, then a post-effective amendment to the accompanying registration statement must be filed with the Securities and Exchang e Commission.
Penny Stock Regulations
Our common stock is subject to rules governing “penny stocks.” The penny stock regulations are an effort by Congress and the SEC to prevent abuses by “boiler shop” operators in marketing low-priced securities to unsophisticated investors. Generally, a penny stock is any stock that:
•
sells for less than $5 a share,
•
is not listed on an exchange or authorized for quotation on NASDAQ, and
•
is issued by a company with less than $5,000,000 in net tangible assets.
Cal-Bay is not a substantial issuer and cannot become one until we have net tangible assets of at least $5,000,000. In addition, our stock is traded on the Over the Counter Bulletin Board and has always traded at a price less than $5 a share. As a result, our common stock will continue to be subject to the penny stock rules for the foreseeable future.
Limitations on Trading Penny Stocks
The Securities and Exchange Commission imposes strict requirements on broker-dealers that recommend and sell penny stocks. Before a broker-dealer can recommend or sell a penny stock to a new customer, the prospective investor must supply the broker-dealer with information concerning the person’s financial situation, investment sophistication and investment objectives. Then, the broker-dealer must reasonably determine:
•
that transactions in penny stocks are suitable for the person, and
•
that the person, or his advisor, is capable of evaluating the risks of investing in penny stocks.
-18-
After making this determination, the broker-dealer must furnish the customer with a written statement describing the basis for this suitability determination. The customer must then sign and date a copy of the suitability statement and return it to the broker-dealer. At that point, the broker-dealer must secure a written agreement from the investor identifying the particular stock and the number of shares to be purchased.
These procedures often delay a proposed transaction and many broker-dealers have adopted a policy of not recommending penny stocks. Broker-dealers who do recommend penny stocks must first provide the investor with a risk disclosure document describing the inadequacies of the penny stock market and the risks associated with investing in penny stocks. The broker-dealer must also disclose the bid and ask price for the particular stock and any compensation that will be provided to the broker-dealer in connection with the proposed transaction. Finally, the broker-dealer must furnish the customer with a monthly statement including specific information relating to the market activity and price of the penny stocks held in the customer’s account.
The Penny Stock Suitability Rule and the Penny Stock Disclosure Rule, described above, do not apply to the following:
•
transactions not recommended by a broker-dealer,
•
sales to institutional accredited investors,
•
sales to “established customers” of the broker-dealer. Established customers are persons who either have had an account with the broker-dealer for at least a year or who have effected 3 purchases of penny stocks with the broker-dealer on 3 different days involving 3 different issuers, and
•
transactions in penny stocks by broker-dealers whose income from penny stock activities does not exceed 5 percent of their total income during certain defined periods.
These penny stock regulations will continue to limit our shareholders’ ability to purchase and resell our common stock.
Legal proceedings
We are not aware of any current legal proceedings that are threatened or pending against Cal-Bay, our subsidiaries or any of our officers or directors. Further, none of our officers, directors or affiliates are parties against Cal-Bay or have any material interests in actions that are adverse to our interests.

Description of Securities
We are authorized to issue 75,000,000 shares of $.001 par value common stock. At the date of this prospectus there are 31,169,031 shares issued and outstanding held by approximately 69 shareholders of record. All shares are validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable. All shares are equal to each other with respect to liquidation and dividend rights. Holders of voting shares are entitled to one vote for each share they own at any shareholders’ meeting.
Holders of shares of common stock are entitled to receive such dividends as may be declared by the Board of Directors out of funds legally available there for, and upon liquidation are entitled to participate pro-rata in a distribution of assets available for such distribution to shareholders. There are no conversion rights, preemptive rights, or other subscription rights or privileges with respect to any shares.
We have not paid or declared any dividends since inception and do not intend to declare any dividends in the foreseeable future. Our ability to pay dividends is also subject to limitations imposed by Nevada law. Under Nevada law, dividends may be paid to the extent that a corporation’s assets exceed its liabilities and it is able to pay its debts as they become due in the usual course of business.
Our common stock does not have cumulative voting rights, which means that the holders of more than 50% of the voting shares voting for election of directors may elect all of the directors if they choose to do so. In such event, the holders of the remaining shares aggregating less than 50% will not be able to elect any directors.
Our transfer agent is Pacific Stock Transfer Company, 500 East Warm Springs Drive, Las Vegas, Nevada 89119. Their phone number is (702) 361-3033.
Interest of Named Experts and Counsel
None.
Disclosure of Commission Position on Indemnification for Securities Act Liabilities
The Nevada Revised Statutes provide that a corporation’s charter may include a provision limiting the liability of its directors or officers. Accordingly, to the extent permitted by Nevada law, our corporate charter provides that no director or officer shall be individually liable for the debts of the corporation or for monetary damages arising from the conduct of the corporation.
To the extent that indemnification may be available to our directors and officers for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933, we have been advised that, in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission, such indemnification is against public policy and therefore unenforceable. If a claim for indemnification against such liabilities—other than our paying expenses incurred by one of our directors or officers in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding—is asserted by one of our directors or officers in connection with the securities being registered in this offering, we will, unless in the opinion of our counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether indemnification by us is against public policy as expressed in the Act, and we will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

Description of Business
General
Cal-Bay International originally incorporated in the State of Nevada on December 9, 1998, under the name Var-Jazz Entertainment, Inc. Var-Jazz was organized to engage in the business of music production and sales. Var-Jazz did not succeed in the music business and the board of directors began seeking new business opportunities. On March 8, 2001, Var-Jazz entered into an Agreement and Plan of Reorganization with Cal-Bay Controls, Inc. whereby Var-Jazz changed its name to Cal-Bay International, Inc., and acquired Cal-Bay Controls, Inc. as a wholly owned subsidiary in exchange for 17,112,000 shares of common stock.
Cal-Bay Controls, Inc. originally formed in 1976 as a sole proprietorship that was acquired by Robert J. Thompson in 1990. On February 22, 2001, Cal-Bay Controls incorporated in the State of Nevada and was subsequently acquired by Var-Jazz on March 8, 2001.
On March 7, 2002, Cal-Bay International’s Form 10-SB registration statement went effective and in June of 2002, Cal-Bay International, Inc. moved from the Pink Sheets to the Over the Counter Bulletin Board where the Company currently trades under the symbol CBYI.
Cal-Bay Analytical, Inc. was incorporated on August 7, 2003 in the State of Nevada and is also operated as a wholly owned subsidiary.
Our Business
Cal-Bay International’s operating subsidiaries are Cal-Bay Controls (CBC) and Cal-Bay Analytical (CBA). Both CBC and CBA operate as manufacturer’s sales representatives and distributors of analytical products, services and associated equipment through license and distribution agreements. CBC primarily serves the process, environmental and safety markets, while CBA primarily serves the laboratory markets. Cal-Bay does not currently have any international operations and does not intend to pursue an international market at this time, but expects to do so in the future.
Cal-Bay Controls (CBC)
CBC is composed of three divisions, the Representative/Distribution Division, the Systems Division and the New Products Division. CBC’s operations are focused mainly in California and Nevada with a small percentage of sales made elsewhere in the United States.
Representative/Distribution Division
CBC’s Representative and Distribution Division currently serves markets in California, Nevada and Hawaii. Cal-Bay represents and/or distributes products from many manufacturers of engineered products for the process control, environmental and safety markets. The process control market involves instrumentation and equipment used to help manufacturing plants control or improve the operations of specific production or manufacturing processes within the plant. The environmental market uses instrumentation and equipment to measure or help reduce air and/or water pollution produced by industrial, utility or municipal facilities. The safety market requires instrumentation for use in various industries to meet personnel safety requirements typically imposed by OSHA regulations.
CBC has a signed contract/agreement with each of the companies it represents which grants CBC the rights to sell the assigned products/services within a defined sales territory (typically California, Nevada
-22-
and Hawaii). In most cases these contracts are exclusive in the sense that no other sales representative is allowed to sell the products covered by the contract in the same sales area, however, there are a few contracts which are non-exclusive in the sense that there may be more than one authorized sales agents in a given sales area. CBC receives compensation for selling efforts in the form of commissions (typically 10-20% of the net sales price) on all sales of products within the specified sales territory.
Within the designated sales territory, CBC serves the following markets:
* Environmental market
* Industrial Process Markets
* Petroleum Refineries
* Chemical plants
* Pharmaceutical and Biotechnology
* Computer related
* Paint and coating
* Printing
* Metal processing
* Bulk industrial gases and specialty gases
* Semiconductor
* Aerospace
* Plastics/Polymers
* Original Equipment Manufactures (OEM’s)
The environmental market is typically driven by local, state and national regulations promulgated by regulatory agencies including the South Coast Air Quality Management District (SCAQMD), California Air Resources Board (CARB) and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), which has both air and water protection departments.
During the 1980’s and 1990’s there were many new regulations, on the local and federal level, which required the installation of new analytical instrumentation and monitoring systems for both air and water pollution control. CBC has been very successful in selling analyzers for use in the environmental markets and we believe the market will continue to be strong in this area. During the late 1990’s the number of new regulations declined, however, CBC expects new regulations to be implemented in several areas in the coming decade which should result in an increase in this market in the near future.
The safety market is also regulatory driven, usually by OSHA rules. CBC anticipates the safety market to remain fairly static in the near future.
The EPA and OSHA frequently implement new regulations seeking to improve quality, safety and the environment. When new regulations are implemented, industry is required to comply with the regulations, often necessitating the purchase of new equipment and controls. While CBC cannot
assure new regulations translate directly to additional sales, it is management’s experience that increased regulations typically result in an increase in sales.
Process and quality control markets are much less likely to be affected by regulatory concerns, however, these markets are more likely to be affected by changes in the economy. Sales to these markets are typically not regulatory driven but are driven by the need for improved production efficiency, reductions in cost, improvement in product quality, etc. New technology developments are often the driving force behind sales of new equipment into these markets as each company searches for a competitive advantage.
-23-
Systems Division
In addition to selling products and services as a representative/distributor, CBC produces a small number of operational systems that integrate a variety of products and components from numerous vendors. Notably, CBC is able to provide Continuous Emissions Monitoring Systems (“CEMS”) to selected clients for regulatory compliance. These clients typically have unique requirements that cannot be addressed by one of the larger CEM integration companies. On CEMS projects, CBC will often act as the prime contractor with several sub-contractors who will be responsible for design, manufacture, test and/or installation and certification to meet the regulatory requirements. A typical CEM system will include sample probe, heated sample line, sample conditioning system to remove moisture and particulates, sample flow controller and distribution manifold, analyzer(s) for the gas species to be measured, a micro-processor based system controller, data-logger and/or data acquisition and reporting system, and calibration gases. Services may include installation supervision, start-up and training, certification to meet regulatory standards, maintenance contracts and regulatory permitting assistance.
The market for CEMS is entirely driven by local, state and national regulations promulgated by regulatory agencies, including the South Coast Air Quality Management District, California Air Resources Board and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency.
The Company is interested in expanding its core business into new areas of business opportunity. Some potential methods of accomplishing this goal are to expand into new markets with existing products, develop and manufacture new products for sale into our existing markets and search for acquisition candidates.
New Products Division
CBC is currently exploring several opportunities to develop new products and/or technologies, as follows:
Spectra Unlimited – Product Acquisition/Development
During the first quarter of 2003 Cal-Bay reached an agreement to acquire the technology rights to several products developed by Spectra Unlimited, a recently dissolved company. Cal-Bay had been in negotiations with the owners of this technology during the past year, and a letter of intent had been signed in late-2002. After completion of the due diligence process, a contractual agreement for Cal-Bay to acquire the rights to the technology developed by Spectra Unlimited was reached and signed by all parties.
The Spectra products include the following:
•
Streaming Current Analyzer – this analyzer uses the proven thermoconductivity principle of analysis and is unique in that it can discriminate a single component of interest from a complex mixture of different components. Potential applications include: measurement of solids in a binary solution, selective measurement of a single gas in a complex mixture of gases for purity or quality control, various solvent ratios for process control, and product quality measurements.
•
Infrared Spectrometer – This is a highly sensitive NDIR spectrometer designed for gas measurements in environmental or process control applications. It uses dual measurement channels and an energy-balancing circuit that allows the use of the same optical filters for sample and reference wavelengths.
-24-

Catalytic Scrubbers - A series of proprietary non-depleting catalytic scrubbers that can turn most active substances inert to improve sampling and analysis in difficult applications.
It is currently unknown what the market potential of these products are, or the amount of additional research and product development that will be required before taking these products to market, however Cal-Bay believes that each of these products can be developed with a fairly limited amount of resources and that these products will fit very well into our existing areas of business. If the R&D of these products is successful it is anticipated that these products will be manufactured and sold either by a new subsidiary company to be established or by a company to be acquired by Cal-Bay that already has a manufacturing capability and sales organization.
Pattern Recognition Technology – Product Development
During the past several years Cal-Bay has evaluated several new types of analytical products using “pattern recognition technology”. Pattern recognition is the art of separating and identifying complex chemical or electronic signatures from even more complex backgrounds.
Initially, Cal-Bay worked with an inventor who had developed a prototype pattern recognition device using neural net processing. Based upon limited marketing research, this new device had tremendous potential for use in a number of areas, but the inventor was unable or unwilling to perform the product development required to produce a commercially viable new product. Cal-Bay was unable to finalize a business relationship with the inventor, and as a result we began evaluating other products capable of performing similar measurements.
One of these other products and/or technologies which was evaluated by Cal-Bay was a new type of chemical sensor developed by a major university. Cal-Bay was approached by the technology transfer agent for this university to consider the possible further development and commercialization of this new sensor technology. After reviewing the technology, and performing initial market research studies and preparing cost estimates for the commercialization of this product, Cal-Bay determined that the development costs and time to market were not within our preferred guidelines and therefore we decided not to pursue this opportunity.
Cal-Bay has also recently had discussions with another company that has developed an “electronic nose” analytical device using fast gas chromatography with a new proprietary detector. It is possible that Cal-Bay may become an investor in this company, and/or may become a sales agent for the product.
Analytical Sensors – Product Development
Cal-Bay has had preliminary discussions with the former owner of an analytical sensor company regarding the potential development of a new line of sensors. Unfortunately, these discussions have not progressed and are currently on hold. It is possible that these discussions will continue in the future, but there are currently no plans or schedule for this to occur.
Future Product R&D
In addition to the pattern recognition technology that Cal-Bay plans to develop, we will continually be searching for other new technology ideas that we may develop internally, partner with or acquire in the future.
-25-
One resource that Cal-Bay will utilize to aid in the search for new technologies is the services of “technology brokers” that specialize in identifying new technology and matching that technology with companies that are looking for new products to develop. Cal-Bay has recently used such a service to evaluate a new technology patented by the faculty of a public U.S. university that had reached the “proof of concept” stage and needed additional funding and resources to complete the development into a commercially-viable product.
Each year there are many thousands of new patent applications filed, including many by universities or by small, private inventors who do not have the resources or facilities or inclination to complete the development of their new idea into a commercial product. Of these new patents, many are in areas of interest to Cal-Bay, including new sensor technology, new analytical methodologies, and new processes for environmental measurement and remediation. Cal-Bay will review new patents in these areas, and will select appropriate new technologies to target for possible acquisition for future development.
Cal-Bay Analytical (CBA)
CBA operates as a manufacturer’s sales representative and distributor of analytical products, services and associated equipment through license and distribution agreements.
CBA primarily serves the laboratory markets. The laboratory markets include a variety of industrial, governmental and private contract testing laboratories as well as research and development laboratories operated by private industries, universities and governmental research laboratories.
CBA has a signed contract/agreement with each of the companies it represents which grants CBA the rights to sell the assigned products/services within a defined sales territory (typically California, Nevada, Arizona, Utah and Hawaii). In most cases these contracts are exclusive in the sense that no other sales representative is allowed to sell the products covered by the contract in the same sales area, however, there are a few contracts which are non-exclusive in the sense that there may be more than one authorized sales agents in a given sales area. CBA receives compensation for selling efforts in the form of commissions (typically 10-20% of the net sales price) on all sales of products within the specified sales territory.
Future Potential Mergers & Acquisitions and/or New Subsidiary Companies to be Formed by Cal-Bay International
The Company has identified a number of companies that would be good candidates for future mergers and/or acquisitions. Each of these companies has been selected based upon such criteria as profitability, existing management team, ownership desire for exit strategy, synergy and compatibility with Cal-Bay’s goals and plans. At this time, Cal-Bay’s management is evaluating each of the candidates currently identified and we are actively searching for new candidates in order to determine the best growth strategy for the future.
Alternatively, the Company may decide to form a new subsidiary company or companies in the future as it either develops new products or identifies new areas of business opportunity.
Competition
Many companies who are analytical instrumentation manufacturers, representatives or distributors have substantially more financial and technological resources than us. They may be able to allocate more funds to researching, developing and manufacturing new technologies. These companies may succeed in developing products that are more effective or less costly than our products.
-26-
In addition, many of our competitors have greater name recognition, larger customer bases, broader distribution and more marketing resources than we do. They may be better at marketing and promoting their products even if their products are not technologically superior to ours. As a result, we may not be able to compete successfully against other producers and distributors of environmental and analytical instrumentation products.
Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition or Plan of Operation
This discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with the financial statements appearing elsewhere in this prospectus.
Results of Operations for the periods ended December 31, 2002 and December 31, 2001
For the period ended December 31, 2002, Cal-Bay generated total revenues from commissions of $228,498 and product sales of $110,052 for total revenues of $344,450 with cost of sales totaling $101,485 resulting in gross profit of $242,965. The cost of sales is only associated with the revenues from product sales, therefore the gross profit on these product sales is $8,567. Our expenses were $954,331, mainly for professional fees of $785,595 which were paid in shares of common stock. Other expenses, such as telephone and utilities charges, property rent, and equipment rentals totaled $168,736. As a result, Cal-Bay realized a net loss after taxes of $713,766 during the year ended December 31, 2002.
The revenues generated for the period ending December 31, 2002 were lower than the revenues generated for the period ending December 31, 2001, primarily due to lowered commissions from a decrease in new orders during the middle part of 2002. Many projects that we had forecast for this time period were delayed, primarily due to the general slowdown of the economy. Many of the products sold by Cal-Bay on a commission basis are used in environmental applications and projects, which are often delayed when the economy is weak. Also, the federal environmental regulatory agency has been less aggressive recently in the enforcement of environmental regulations requiring new environmental equipment. The environmental monitoring equipment tends to be cyclical, and we expect that business will be slow until the end of 2003 and hopefully will then improve.
The consultants used by Cal-Bay during this period, the services provided, and the shares of common stock paid in compensation to these consultants were are follows:

None of these consultants are related parties or affiliates.
For the period ended December 31, 2001, we generated revenues from product sales and commission income of $319,039 totaling $396,150 in combined revenues. Costs of sales were $69,195 resulting in gross profits of $326,955. The cost of sales is only associated with the revenues from product sales, therefore the gross profit on these product sales is $7,946. The Company had expenses of $349,993 resulting in a net loss after taxes of $23,838. Expenses were due chiefly to salaries and wages, property rent, payroll taxes, and professional fees incurred during the reverse acquisition of Cal-Bay Controls.
-27-
Three Month periods Ended September 30, 2003 and 2002
Cal-Bay Analytical did not have any business transactions as of September 30, 2003 and therefore had no impact on the total Company business results. All of the following business results are from the Cal-Bay Controls operating subsidiary.
Cal-Bay generated $17,954 in commission income from our representative/distributor division, and product sales in the systems division of $43,934, for a total revenue of $61,888 for the three-month period ended September 30, 2003 with cost of sales of $36,808 for a gross profit of $25,080. These revenues compare with $118,139 in commission income and product sales revenues for the three-month period ended September 30, 2002 with cost of sales of $101,485 and gross profit of $16,654. Gross profit for the three-month period ended September 30, 2003 was $8426 more than the same period ended in 2002. The net cash provided by operating activities for the three months ended September 30, 2003 was $3,615 compared to net cash of $7,780 from the comparable period in 2002.
The revenues generated for the three-month period ending September 30, 2003 were primarily due to sales from one large project won in the systems division during this period.
Operating expenses were $239,952 for the three-month period ended September 30, 2003 compared with $748,217 for the three-month period ended September 30, 2002, which is a decrease of $508,265. The net loss was $214,872 for the three-month period ended September 30, 2003 compared to a net loss of $731,563 for the comparable period in 2002 which is an increase in net income of $516,691. The majority of the expenses during the current period are a direct result of the issuance of 5,458,356 shares of common Cal-Bay stock, valued at $212,719, as consideration for certain existing and future professional and consulting expenses. For accounting purposes, the value of this stock is being taken as an expense in this period, although much of the professional and consulting services will be performed in the future, which should help to reduce expenses in the future.
Nine Month periods Ended September 30, 2003 and 2002
Cal-Bay generated $100,113 in combined commission income from our representative/distributor division and revenues from product sales in the systems division for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2003 with $36,808 cost of sales for a gross profit of $63,305. This compares with $256,645 in commission income and product sales revenues for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2002 with cost of sales of $101,485 and gross profit of $155,160. Gross profit for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2003 was $91,855 less than the same period ended in 2002. Net cash used by operating activities was $29,466 for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2003 compared to net cash used of $16,362 for the same period ended in 2002.
The revenues generated for the nine-month period ending September 30, 2003 were less than the anticipated levels of revenues forecast for this period, due to low levels of commissions income received as well as the lack of sales from the systems division or new products division early in this period, and we believe that this decrease in business activity is due to the slowdown in the economy in general during this year. Several projects that we had forecast for this time period have been delayed, and we have been told by many clients that capital spending budgets have been reduced or placed on hold until later in the year or early next year.
Operating expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2003 were $563,296 compared to $888,876 for the same period in 2002, which is a decrease of $325,580. For the nine month period ended September 30, 2003, Cal-Bay had a net loss of $499,991 compared to a net loss of $733,716 for the same period in 2002, which is a reduction in net loss or increase in net income of $233,725. The majority of the
-28-
expenses during the nine months ended September 30, 2003 are a direct result of the issuance of 6,733,356 shares of common Cal-Bay stock, valued at $429,469, as consideration for certain existing and future professional and consulting expenses. For accounting purposes, the value of this stock is being taken as an expense in this period, although much of the professional and consulting services will be performed in the future, which should help to reduce expenses in the future.
The consultants used by Cal-Bay during this period, the services provided, and the shares of common stock paid in compensation to these consultants were are follows:
Linwood (Trey) Meehan III
Website Development/Investor Relations
100,000 shares
Cletha Walstrand
Legal Services
100,000 shares
Harvey Carmichael
Marketing & Business Consulting
750,000 shares

325,000 shares
None of these consultants are related parties or affiliates.
Many of the expenses through the first nine months of 2002 and 2003 are attributed to Cal-Bay becoming a reporting public company. As a result of becoming a public company, we have incurred ongoing legal and accounting costs related to preparing and filing our public reports during the past two years. The majority of these auditing costs, legal fees and organizational expenses would not have been incurred had Cal-Bay continued to operate as a sole proprietorship, and our net income would have increased substantially.
In addition, through the first nine months of 2003, we had increased professional fees relating to preparing and filing a registration statement with the SEC on Form SB-2. The registration statement related to a proposed equity line of credit with Dutchess Private Equities Fund, LP. On November 3, 2003, we withdrew the registration statement to renegotiate the terms of the equity line. We are currently in the process of preparing and filing a new registration statement reflecting the renegotiated agreement.
We expect our legal and accounting fees to decrease in the future, although we will require continuing legal and accounting services for our future quarterly and annual reporting. During this period, Cal-Bay’s management was also informed that the health insurance premiums would increase significantly this year, therefore a new health insurance plan was selected in an attempt to limit the increase in costs. We do not foresee any other increases in expenses or any other major expenditures for the remainder of 2003.
At this time, based upon the actual sales to date and the projected sales for the remainder of the year it appears that the 2003 sales for Cal-Bay will probably be less than the forecast for the year, therefore the officers of Cal-Bay have agreed to accept company stock in lieu of salary if required to maintain adequate cash flow for the corporation. During the three months ended September 30, 2003, the officers of Cal-Bay did not draw any salary, and the amount of salary taken during the nine month period ended September 30, 2003 was minimal. Cal-Bay’s management is also making an effort to reduce our operating expenses for the remainder of the year.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
As of September 30, 2003, Cal-Bay had total assets of $48,497. Current assets consisted of $6,512 in cash and $2,175 in prepaid expenses. Other assets consisted of advances receivable of $21,500 and a deposit of $2,770. Net office furniture and equipment at September 30, 2003 was $15,540. Current liabilities totaled $39,228 consisting mainly of $37,996 in accounts payable, accrued salaries, wages, and income taxes payable. We also had current a lease payment due of $1,232. Long-term obligations at September 30, 2003 consisted of $11,718 in lease commitments.
-29-
Cal-Bay does not anticipate any substantial new capital expenditures for the next twelve months, and does not plan to move to a new facility or to otherwise increase the overhead expense level in any way. Cal-Bay plans to continue the current operations of all subsidiaries with the present management structure, financial and operational goals for the near term. Based upon the sales, expense and income results from the first three quarters of operations and our projections for the remainder of the year, the Company believes that it can maintain the current level of operations for the rest of the year without having to raise additional funds for operational purposes. The company believes that its cash needs to maintain current operations can be met with cash on hand and revenues from accounts receivable on orders for at least the next twelve months. However, should the Company require additional capital, the Compan y may sell additional stock, arrange debt financing or seek other avenues of raising capital.
Description of Property
Cal-Bay currently leases a combined office/warehouse facility of approximately 2,328 square feet at 1582 Parkway Loop, Suite G, Tustin, CA 92780. The lease is paid on a monthly basis of $2,630.64 per month and expires on August 31, 2004. Our facility is located in a small mixed use, commercial/light industrial office park in Central Orange County, California. This facility consists of a reception area, three individual fully-enclosed offices, a conference room, a restroom, sales literature storage area, printer/fax/copier area, and a combined warehouse/system production/equipment test area. Management believes the currently leased space is adequate to meet Cal-Bay’s needs for at least the term of the lease.
Certain Relationships and Related Transactions.
On January 15, 2002 we loaned $6,000 to Charles Prebay, our Chief Financial Officer. There was no written loan agreement. The loan carried no interest and was payable on demand. Mr. Prebay repaid the loan on September 17, 2002.
Between January 15, 2002 and May 31, 2002, Cal-Bay made a series of loans to Mr. Robert Thompson, our Chief Executive Officer. The loans were issued as follows:
Date: | Amount: |
January 15, 2002 | $6,500 |
February 20, 2002 | $6,000 |
April 15, 2002 | $2,000 |
May 1, 2002 | $2,000 |
May 31, 2002 | $5,000 |
Total: |
$21,500 |
There are no formal written loan agreements on the above-listed notes. The notes do not carry interest and are payable on December 31, 2003. The notes have not been repaid as of the date of this prospectus.
We do not expect to have significant dealing with affiliates. However, if there are such dealings, the parties will attempt to deal on terms competitive in the market and on the same terms that either party would deal with a third person.
Market for Common Equity and Related Stockholder Matters.
Our common stock is quoted on the Over the Counter Bulletin Board under the symbol CBYI. At December 23, 2003 we had approximately 69 shareholders of record holding 31,169,031 shares of

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
(a)
Nature of Business
Cal-Bay International, Inc. and subsidiary ("The Company"), was originally organized as Var-Jazz Entertainment, Inc., under the laws of the State of Nevada, on December 8, 1998. On March 8, 2001, Var-Jazz Entertainment, Inc. acquired 100% of the outstanding common shares of Cal-Bay Controls, Inc., which has been accounted for as a reverse acquisition. Subsequent to this acquisition, Var-Jazz Entertainment, Inc. changed its name to Cal-Bay International, Inc. The Company does not currently have any international operations but expects to in the future. See also Note 3.
Cal-Bay Controls, Inc. (CBC) was originally a sole proprietorship, being operated since 1990 under the name Cal-Bay Controls, in Tustin, California, by its owner Robert Thompson. CBC, which represents the only operating entity of the Company, is a manufacturer’s representative and distribution firm, serving California, Nevada and Hawaii in process, environmental, safety and laboratory markets. On February 22, 2001, CBC was incorporated under the name Cal-Bay Controls, Inc.
CBC supplies analytical products, services and associated equipment through license distribution agreements, and receives compensation for its selling efforts in the form of commissions, typically 10-20% of the net sales price, on all sales of products within the specified sales territory.
(b)
Capitalization
Var-Jazz Entertainment, Inc. was initially capitalized in December, 1998 by the issuance of 1,500,000 shares of its common stock, at $0.004 per share, totaling $6,000. In June, 1999 the Company circulated a self written confidential offering memorandum, resulting in the issuance of an additional 2,778,000 common shares, for a total of $46,300, less offering costs of $8,415.
On March 8, 2001, Cal-Bay International, Inc. (formerly Var-Jazz Entertainment, Inc.) acquired all of the issued and outstanding common stock of CBC in exchange for 17,112,000 shares of its common stock. The shares issued in the acquisition resulted in the owners of CBC having operating control of Cal-Bay International, Inc. immediately following the acquisition. Therefore, for financial reporting purposes, CBC is deemed to have acquired Cal-Bay International, Inc. in a reverse acquisition accompanied by a recapitalization.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)
(b)
Capitalization (continued)
The surviving entity reflects the assets and liabilities of Cal-Bay International, Inc. and CBC at their historical book values and the historical operations of the Company are those of CBC. The issued common stock is that of Cal-Bay International, Inc. and the retained earnings is that of CBC.
Immediately subsequent to this acquisition, the Company increased its authorized common stock from 25,000,000 to 75,000,000 and initiated a forward 3 for 1 stock split, resulting in 21,390,000 total outstanding common shares. See also Note 3.
On August 29, 2002, the Company filed a Form S-8 Registration Statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission and issued 2,240,000 common shares in payment for professional and consulting services. On November 15, 2002, the Company issued 80,000 common shares in payment for professional services.
(c)
Cash and Cash Equivalents
For purposes of the consolidated statements of cash flows, the Company considers all highly liquid debt instruments with original maturities of three months or less to be cash equivalents. There were no cash equivalents as of December 31, 2002.
(d)
Principles of Consolidation and Basis of Accounting
The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Cal-Bay International, Inc. and of its wholly owned subsidiary, CBC. All material inter-company transactions and accounts have been eliminated in consolidation. The Company has no continuing operating activities other than that of CBC.
(e)
Revenue Recognition
The Company recognizes commission income in accordance with SAB 101 – Topic 13.A.3. The nature of each of CBC’s manufacturer’s representation agreements requires that the products be shipped from the manufacturer to the customer, and that either a significant period of time elapse thereafter or that the manufacturer must receive payment from the customer before payments are ultimately made to CBC for orders submitted. The determination as to exactly when the terms specified in the sales arrangements are substantially completed or fulfilled by the manufacturer and have been accepted by the customer and the ultimate collectibility of the commission can only be reasonably assured when the payments are ultimately received by the Company. Commission expense is recorded when the commission income that it is related to is recognized.

Property and Equipment and Organizational Expenditures
Office furniture and equipment is stated at cost and is depreciated using the straight line method over their estimated useful lives, currently five years. Organizational expenditures for the Company were paid as completed, totaling $1,554, as of December 31, 2001, and have been expensed as incurred in accordance with SOP 98-5. Betterment’s and improvements are capitalized and depreciated over their estimated useful lives, while repairs and maintenance costs are expensed when incurred.

(b)
The Company has applied the Financial Accounting Standards Board Statement 109,Accounting for Income Taxes(SFAS 109), to all operations since inception, for all periods disclosed in this financial examination, and all other disclosures of information for periods prior to acquisitions of the operating subsidiary, CBC.
SFAS 109 “Accounting for Income Taxes” requires the liability method in accounting for income taxes. Deferred tax assets and liabilities arise from the difference between the tax basis of an asset or liability and its reported amount on the financial statements. Deferred tax amounts are determined by using the tax rates expected to be in effect when the taxes will actually be paid or refunds received, as provided under currently enacted laws.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)
(j)
Income Taxes (continued)
Valuation allowances are established when necessary to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized. Income tax expense or benefit is the tax payable or refundable, respectively, for the period, plus or minus the change during the period, in deferred tax assets and liabilities. The Company, exclusive of the operations of its wholly owned subsidiary CBC, has experienced operating losses during its period of existence. These losses occurred in a business activity unrelated to that of CBC and the Company does not have any current plans to re-enter that market. Future profitability of current and unrelated business activities cannot be assured, resulting in the recordation of reserves for the valuation allowance of the entire amount of the determined deferred tax assets (See also Note 6).
(k)
Transactions in Capital Stock
All securities issued by the Company and CBC have not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. They may not be sold, offered for sale, transferred, pledged or hypothecated, in the absence of a registration statement in effect with respect to the securities under such act, or an opinion of counsel or other evidence satisfactory to the Company that such registration is not required, or unless sold pursuant to Rule 144 under such act. The Company's free trading stock is currently involved in limited trading on the Over the Counter Bulletin Board under the symbol CBYI. The trading price at December 31, 2002, was $0.16. See also Notes 3 and 5.
(l) Earnings Per Share
In February 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 128, "Earnings Per Share" (SFAS 128). SFAS 128 specifies the computation, presentation, and disclosure requirements of earnings per share and supersedes Accounting Principles Board Opinion 15, "Earnings Per Share". SFAS 128 requires dual presentation of basic and, where applicable, diluted earnings per share. Basic earnings per share, which excludes the impact of common stock equivalents, replaces primary earnings per share. Diluted earnings per share which utilizes the average market price per share or ending market price per share when applying the treasury stock method in determining common stock equivalents, replaces fully diluted earnings per share.

(l) Earnings Per Share (continued)
SFAS 128 is effective for the Company in all years since inception. However, there were no common stock equivalents during the any of these periods and, therefore, there is no effect on the earnings per share presented for any of these periods, due to the Company’s adoption of SFAS 128. Basic earnings per share have been computed using the weighted average number of common shares outstanding.
(m) Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
In June 2001, the Financial Standards Board (“FASB”) issued SFAS No. 141, “Business Combinations.” This statement addresses financial accounting and reporting for business combinations and supersedes APB Opinion No. 16, “Business Combinations,” and SFAS No. 38, “Accounting for Pre-Acquisition Contingencies of Purchased Enterprises.” All business combinations in the scope of this statement are to be accounted for using one method, the purchase method. The provisions of this statement apply to all business combinations initiated after June 30, 2001. Use of the pooling-of-interest method for those business combinations is prohibited. This statement also applies to all business combinations accounted for using the purchase method for which the date of acquisition is July 1, 2001 or later. The Company does not e xpect adoption of SFAS No. 141 to have a material impact, if any, on its financial position or results of operations.
In June 2001, the (“FASB”) issued SFAS No. 142, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets.” This statement addresses financial accounting and reporting for acquired goodwill and other intangible assets and supersedes APB Opinion No. 17, “Intangible Assets.” It addresses how intangible assets that are acquired individually or with a group of other assets (but not those acquired in a business combination) should be accounted for in financial statements upon their acquisition. This statement also addresses how goodwill and other intangible assets should be accounted for after they have been initially recognized in the financial statements. It is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2001. Early application is permitted for entities with fiscal years beginning after March 15, 2001, provided that the first interim financial statements have not been issued previously. This statement is not applicable to the Company.

(m) Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements – (continued)
In June 2001, the (“FASB”) issued SFAS No. 143, “Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations.” This statement applies to legal obligations associated with the retirement of long-lived assets that result from the acquisition construction, development, and/or the normal operation of long-lived assets, except for certain obligations of lessees. This statement is not applicable to the Company.
In August 2001, the (“FASB”) issued SFAS No. 144, “Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of long-lived Assets.” This statement addresses financial accounting and reporting for the impairment or disposal of long-lived assets. This statement replaces SFAS No. 121, “Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed of,” the accounting and reporting provisions of APB No. 30, “Reporting the Results of Operations – Reporting the Effects of Disposal of a Segment of a Business, and Extraordinary, Unusual, and Infrequent Occurring Events and Transactions,” for the disposal of a segment of a business, and amends Accounting Research Bulletin No. 51, “Consolidated Financial Statements,” to eliminate the exception to consolidation for a subsidiary for which control is likely to be te mporary. The Company does not expect adoption of SFAS No. 144 to have a material impact, if any, on its financial position or results of operations.
In April 2002, the (“FASB”) issued SFAS No. 145, “Rescission of FASB Statements No. 4, 44, and 64, Amendment of FASB Statement No. 13, and Technical Corrections.” SFAS No. 145 updates, clarifies, and simplifies existing accounting pronouncements. This statement rescinds SFAS No. 4, which required all gains and losses from extinguishment of debt to be aggregated and, if material, classified as an extraordinary item, net of related income tax effect. As a result, the criteria in APB No. 30 will now be used to classify those gains and losses. SFAS No. 64 amended SFAS No. 4 and is no longer necessary as SFAS No. 4 has been rescinded. SFAS No. 44 has been rescinded, as it is no longer necessary. SFAS no. 145 amends SFAS No. 13 to require that certain lease modifications that have economic effects similar to sale-leaseback transacti ons be accounted for in the same manner as sale-lease transactions. This statement also makes technical corrections to existing pronouncements. While those corrections are not substantive in nature, in some instances, they may change accounting practice. The Company does not expect adoption of SFAS No. 145 to have a material impact, if any, on its financial position or results of operations.

(m) Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements – (continued)
In June 2002, the (“FASB”) issued SFAS No. 146, “Accounting for Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities.” This statement addresses financial accounting and reporting for costs associated with exit or disposal activities and nullifies Emerging Issues Task Force (“EITF”) Issue No. 94-3 “Liability Recognition for Certain Employee Termination Benefits and Other Costs to Exit an Activity (including Certain Costs Incurred in a Restructuring).” This statement requires that a liability for a cost associated with an exit or disposal activity be recognized when the liability is incurred. Under EITF Issue 94-3, a liability for an exit cost, as defined, was recognized at the date of an entity’s commitment to an exit plan. The provisions of this statement are effective for exit or disposal activities that are initiat ed after December 31, 2002 with earlier application encouraged. The Company does not expect adoption of SFAS No. 146 to have a material impact, if any, on its financial position or results of operations.
In December 2002, the (“FASB”) issued SFAS No. 148, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation – Transition and Disclosure.” This statement amends FASB Statement No. 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation” to provide alternative methods of transition for a voluntary change to the fair value based method of accounting for stock-based employee compensation. In addition, this Statement amends the disclosure requirements of Statement 123 to require prominent disclosures in both annual and interim financial statements about the method of accounting for stock-based employee compensation and the effect of the method used on reported results. The Company does not expect adoption of SFAS No. 148 to have a material impact, if any, on its financial position or results of operations.

Acquisition of Cal-Bay Controls, Inc.
As previously discussed in Note 1b, Cal-Bay International, Inc. (formerly Var-Jazz Entertainment, Inc.) acquired all of the issued and outstanding common stock of CBC in exchange for 17,112,000 shares of its common stock. The transaction has been accounted for as a reverse acquisition, in accordance with the terms of Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 16, paragraph 70 and SAB Topic 2A. Since Cal-Bay International, Inc. was a non-operating public shell company with minimal assets, the transaction has been treated as a capital transaction in substance, with no goodwill or intangible being recorded, and no pro forma financial information being presented.

Income Taxes
As of December 31, 2002, the Company had provided taxes on consolidated income for Federal and State income taxes, estimated at $1,600.
At December 31, 2002 deferred taxes consisted of a net tax assets (benefits) of approximately $343,000, due to operating loss carryforwards of the Company totaling $771,679 which were fully offset by equal valuation allowances since there is no assurance of recovery. The net operating loss carryforwards will expire beginning in 2013.
(7)
Off Balance Sheet Risk
The Company could be affected by the inability to establish a market for their shares of stock. Additionally, since the date of incorporation, the short-term sales revenue for the Company has come primarily from two principal accounts, which is due to the fact that the markets for the products from these accounts have been very active recently. Over the long-term, management expects the markets for these products and accounts to diversify. Also, these principals are not the only suppliers for these products and management has other sources for identical products if it becomes necessary to find other suppliers.

INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANT’S REPORT
Board of Directors
CAL-BAY INTERNATIONAL, INC.
I have reviewed the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Cal-Bay International, Inc. (A Nevada Corporation), and subsidiaries, as of September 30, 2003 and 2002, and the related consolidated statements of operations, changes in stockholders’ equity and cash flows for the three and nine month periods then ended. All information included in these financial statements is the representation of the management of Cal-Bay International, Inc.
I conducted my review in accordance with standards established by the American Institute of Public Accountants. A review of interim financial information consists principally of obtaining an understanding of the system for the preparation of interim financial information, applying analytical review procedures to financial data, and making inquiries of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters. It is substantially less in scope than an audit in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards, the objective of which is the expression of an opinion regarding the financial statements taken as a whole. Accordingly, I do not express such an opinion.
Based on my review, I am not aware of any material modifications that should be made to the accompanying consolidated financial statements and the cumulative results of operations and cash flows in order for them to be in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
September 30, 2003

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
(a)
Nature of Business
Cal-Bay International, Inc. and subsidiaries ("The Company"), was originally organized as Var-Jazz Entertainment, Inc., under the laws of the State of Nevada, on December 8, 1998. On March 8, 2001, Var-Jazz Entertainment, Inc. acquired 100% of the outstanding common shares of Cal-Bay Controls, Inc., which has been accounted for as a reverse acquisition. Subsequent to this acquisition, Var-Jazz Entertainment, Inc. changed its name to Cal-Bay International, Inc. The Company does not currently have any international operations but expects to in the future. See also Note 3.
Cal-Bay Controls, Inc. (CBC) was originally a sole proprietorship, being operated since 1990 under the name Cal-Bay Controls, in Tustin, California, by its owner Robert Thompson. CBC, which represents the only operating entity of the Company, is a manufacturer’s representative and distribution firm, serving California, Nevada and Hawaii in process, environmental, and safety markets. On February 22, 2001, CBC was incorporated in Nevada under the name Cal-Bay Controls, Inc.
CBC supplies analytical products, services and associated equipment through license distribution agreements, and receives compensation for its selling efforts in the form of commissions, typically 10-20% of the net sales price, on all sales of products within the specified sales territory.
On August 7, 2003, the Company formed a Nevada corporation, Cal-Bay Analytical, Inc., (CBA) as a wholly owned subsidiary. As of September 30, 2003, this subsidiary does not have any business transactions and therefore does not have an impact on the Company’s financial position or results of operations.
CBA is a manufacturer’s representative and distribution firm, serving California, Nevada, Arizona, Utah and Hawaii. CBA supplies analytical products, services and associated equipment primarily to the laboratory markets through license distribution agreements, and receives compensation for its selling efforts in the form of commissions, typically 10-20% of the net sales price, on all sales of products within the specified sales territory. Several of the principals represented by CBA were formerly represented by CBC, and CBA will search for additional principals and products to represent in the laboratory markets.
(b)
Capitalization
Var-Jazz Entertainment, Inc. was initially capitalized in December, 1998 by the issuance of 1,500,000 shares of its common stock, at $0.004 per share, totaling $6,000. In June, 1999 the Company circulated a self written confidential offering memorandum, resulting in the issuance of an additional 2,778,000 common shares, for a total of $46,300, less offering costs of $8,415.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)
(b)
Capitalization (continued)
On March 8, 2001, Cal-Bay International, Inc. (formerly Var-Jazz Entertainment, Inc.) acquired all of the issued and outstanding common stock of CBC in exchange for 17,112,000 shares of its common stock. The shares issued in the acquisition resulted in the owners of CBC having operating control of Cal-Bay International, Inc. immediately following the acquisition. Therefore, for financial reporting purposes, CBC is deemed to have acquired Cal-Bay International, Inc. in a reverse acquisition accompanied by a recapitalization.
The surviving entity reflects the assets and liabilities of Cal-Bay International, Inc. and CBC at their historical book values and the historical operations of the Company are those of CBC. The issued common stock is that of Cal-Bay International, Inc. and the retained earnings is that of CBC.
Immediately subsequent to this acquisition, the Company increased its authorized common stock from 25,000,000 to 75,000,000 and initiated a forward 3 for 1 stock split, resulting in 21,390,000 total outstanding common shares. See also Note 3.
On August 29, 2002, the Company filed a Form S-8 Registration Statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission and issued 2,240,000 common shares in payment for professional and consulting services. On November 15, 2002, the Company issued 80,000 common shares in payment for professional services.
On January 9, 2003, the Company filed a Form S-8 Registration Statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission and issued 1,275,000 common shares in payment for professional and consulting services.
On July 9 and September 11, 2003, the Company issued 3,008,356 restricted common shares in payment for consulting services. Also on September 9, 2003, the Company filed a Form S-8 Registration Statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission and issued 2,450,000 common shares in payment for professional and consulting services.
(c)
Cash and Cash Equivalents
For purposes of the consolidated statements of cash flows, the Company considers all highly liquid debt instruments with original maturities of three months or less to be cash equivalents. There were no cash equivalents as of September 30, 2003.
(d)
Principles of Consolidation and Basis of Accounting
The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Cal-Bay International, Inc. and of its wholly owned subsidiary, CBC. All material inter-company transactions and accounts have been eliminated in consolidation. The Company has no continuing operating activities other than that of CBC. -56-

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)
(e)
Revenue Recognition
The Company recognizes commission income in accordance with SAB 101 – Topic 13.A.3. The nature of each of CBC’s manufacturer’s representation agreements requires that the products be shipped from the manufacturer to the customer, and that either a significant period of time elapse thereafter or that the manufacturer must receive payment from the customer before payments are ultimately made to CBC for orders submitted. The determination as to exactly when the terms specified in the sales arrangements are substantially completed or fulfilled by the manufacturer and have been accepted by the customer and the ultimate collectibility of the commission can only be reasonably assured when the payments are ultimately received by the Company. Commission expense is recorded when the commission income that it is related to is recognized.
The Company recognizes sales revenue in the Systems and New Products divisions on the date of delivery of goods to the customer in accordance with SAB 101.
(f)
Loan Receivable From Related Parties
The balance of related party loan receivable is with the majority stockholder, is interest free and is due and payable on December 31, 2003.
(g)
Deposits
This balance consists of a security deposit on the Company’s leased premises.
(h)
Property and Equipment and Organizational Expenditures
Office furniture and equipment is stated at cost and is depreciated using the straight line method over their estimated useful lives, currently five years. Organizational expenditures for the Company were paid as completed and have been expensed as incurred in accordance with SOP 98-5. Betterments and improvements are capitalized and depreciated over their estimated useful lives, while repairs and maintenance costs are expensed when incurred.
(i)
Accounts Payable and Accrued Expenses
The balance consists primarily of unpaid operating expenditures and contractual obligations due currently.
(j)
Income Taxes
The Company has applied the Financial Accounting Standards Board Statement 109,Accounting for Income Taxes(SFAS 109), to all operations since inception, for all periods disclosed in this financial examination, and all other disclosures of information for periods prior to acquisitions of the operating subsidiary, CBC. -57-

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)
(j)
Income Taxes (continued)
SFAS 109 "Accounting for Income Taxes" requires the liability method in accounting for income taxes. Deferred tax assets and liabilities arise from the difference between the tax basis of an asset or liability and its reported amount on the financial statements. Deferred tax amounts are determined by using the tax rates expected to be in effect when the taxes will actually be paid or refunds received, as provided under currently enacted laws.
Valuation allowances are established when necessary to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized. Income tax expense or benefit is the tax payable or refundable, respectively, for the period, plus or minus the change during the period, in deferred tax assets and liabilities. The Company, exclusive of the operations of its wholly owned subsidiary CBC, has experienced operating losses during its period of existence. These losses occurred in a business activity unrelated to that of CBC and the Company does not have any current plans to re-enter that market. Future profitability of current and unrelated business activities cannot be assured, resulting in the recordation of reserves for the valuation allowance of the entire amount of the determined deferred tax assets (See also Note 6).
(k)
Transactions in Capital Stock
All securities issued by the Company and CBC have not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. They may not be sold, offered for sale, transferred, pledged or hypothecated, in the absence of a registration statement in effect with respect to the securities under such act, or an opinion of counsel or other evidence satisfactory to the Company that such registration is not required, or unless sold pursuant to Rule 144 under such act. The Company's free trading stock is currently involved in limited trading on the Over the Counter Bulletin Board under the symbol CBYI. The trading price at September 30, 2003, was $0.068. See also Notes 3 and 5.
(l) Earnings Per Share
In February 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 128, "Earnings Per Share" (SFAS 128). SFAS 128 specifies the computation, presentation, and disclosure requirements of earnings per share and supersedes Accounting Principles Board Opinion 15, "Earnings Per Share". SFAS 128 requires dual presentation of basic and, where applicable, diluted earnings per share. Basic earnings per share, which excludes the impact of common stock equivalents, replaces primary earnings per share. Diluted earnings per share which utilizes the average market price per share or ending market price per share when applying the treasury stock method in determining common stock equivalents, replaces fully diluted earnings per share.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)
(l) Earnings Per Share (continued)
SFAS 128 is effective for the Company in all years since inception. However, there were no common stock equivalents during the any of these periods and, therefore, there is no effect on the earnings per share presented for any of these periods, due to the Company's adoption of SFAS 128. Basic earnings per share have been computed using the weighted average number of common shares outstanding.
(m) Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
In June 2001, the Financial Standards Board (“FASB”) issued SFAS No. 141, “Business Combinations.” This statement addresses financial accounting and reporting for business combinations and supersedes APB Opinion No. 16, “Business Combinations,” and SFAS No. 38, “Accounting for Pre-Acquisition Contingencies of Purchased Enterprises.” All business combinations in the scope of this statement are to be accounted for using one method, the purchase method. The provisions of this statement apply to all business combinations initiated after June 30, 2001. Use of the pooling-of-interest method for those business combinations is prohibited. This statement also applies to all business combinations accounted for using the purchase method for which the date of acquisition is July 1, 2001 or later. The Company does not expect adoption of SFAS No. 141 to have a material impact, if any, on its financial position or results of operations.
In June 2001, the (“FASB”) issued SFAS No. 142, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets.” This statement addresses financial accounting and reporting for acquired goodwill and other intangible assets and supersedes APB Opinion No. 17, “Intangible Assets.” It addresses how intangible assets that are acquired individually or with a group of other assets (but not those acquired in a business combination) should be accounted for in financial statements upon their acquisition. This statement also addresses how goodwill and other intangible assets should be accounted for after they have been initially recognized in the financial statements. It is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2001. Early application is permitted for entities with fiscal years beginning after March 15, 2001, provided that the first inter im financial statements have not been issued previously. This statement is not applicable to the Company.
In June 2001, the (“FASB”) issued SFAS No. 143, “Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations.” This statement applies to legal obligations associated with the retirement of long-lived assets that result from the acquisition construction, development, and/or the normal operation of long-lived assets, except for certain obligations of lessees. This statement is not applicable to the Company.
In August 2001, the (“FASB”) issued SFAS No. 144, “Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of long-lived Assets.” This statement addresses financial accounting and reporting for the impairment or disposal of long-lived assets. This statement replaces SFAS No. 121, “Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to be

Disposed of,” the accounting and reporting provisions of APB No. 30, “Reporting the Results of Operations – Reporting the Effects of Disposal of a Segment of a Business, and Extraordinary, Unusual, and Infrequent Occurring Events and Transactions,” for the disposal of a segment of a business, and amends Accounting Research Bulletin No. 51, “Consolidated Financial Statements,” to eliminate the exception to consolidation for a subsidiary for which control is likely to be temporary. The Company does not expect adoption of SFAS No. 144 to have a material impact, if any, on its financial position or results of operations.
In April 2002, the (“FASB”) issued SFAS No. 145, “Rescission of FASB Statements No. 4, 44, and 64, Amendment of FASB Statement No. 13, and Technical Corrections.” SFAS No. 145 updates, clarifies, and simplifies existing accounting pronouncements. This statement rescinds SFAS No. 4, which required all gains and losses from extinguishment of debt to be aggregated and, if material, classified as an extraordinary item, net of related income tax effect. As a result, the criteria in APB No. 30 will now be used to classify those gains and losses. SFAS No. 64 amended SFAS No. 4 and is no longer necessary as SFAS No. 4 has been rescinded. SFAS No. 44 has been rescinded, as it is no longer necessary. SFAS no. 145 amends SFAS No. 13 to require that certain lease modifications that have economic effects similar to sale-leaseback transacti ons be accounted for in the same manner as sale-lease transactions. This statement also makes technical corrections to existing pronouncements. While those corrections are not substantive in nature, in some instances, they may change accounting practice. The Company does not expect adoption of SFAS No. 145 to have a material impact, if any, on its financial position or results of operations.
In June 2002, the (“FASB”) issued SFAS No. 146, “Accounting for Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities.” This statement addresses financial accounting and reporting for costs associated with exit or disposal activities and nullifies Emerging Issues Task Force (“EITF”) Issue No. 94-3 “Liability Recognition for Certain Employee Termination Benefits and Other Costs to Exit an Activity (including Certain Costs Incurred in a Restructuring).” This statement requires that a liability for a cost associated with an exit or disposal activity be recognized when the liability is incurred. Under EITF Issue 94-3, a liability for an exit cost, as defined, was recognized at the date of an entity’s commitment to an exit plan. The provisions of this statement are effective for exit or disposal activities that are initiat ed after December 31, 2002 with earlier application encouraged. The Company does not expect adoption of SFAS No. 146 to have a material impact, if any, on its financial position or results of operations.
In December 2002, the (“FASB”) issued SFAS No. 148, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation – Transition and Disclosure.” This statement amends FASB Statement No. 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation” to provide alternative methods of transition for a voluntary change to the fair value based method of accounting for stock-based employee compensation. In addition, this Statement amends the disclosure requirements of -60-

Statement 123 to require prominent disclosures in both annual and interim financial statements about the method of accounting for stock-based employee compensation and the effect of the method used on reported results. The Company does not expect adoption of SFAS No. 148 to have a material impact, if any, on its financial position or results of operations.
In April 2003, the (“FASB”) issued SFAS No. 149, “Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities”. This statement amends FASB Statement No. 133 to improve financial reporting by requiring that contracts with comparable characteristics be accounted for similarly. This statement is effective for contracts entered into or modified after June 30, 2003. The changes due to this statement will result in more consistent reporting of contracts as either derivatives or hybrid instruments. The Company does not expect adoption of SFAS No. 149 to have a material impact, if any, on its financial position or results of operations.
In May 2003, the (“FASB”) issued SFAS No. 150, “Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with Characteristics of both Liabilities and Equity”. This statement establishes standards for how an issuer classifies and measures certain financial instruments with characteristics of both liabilities and equity. The changes in this statement will result in a more complete depiction of an entity’s liabilities and equity. The changes will also enhance the relevance of accounting information by providing more information about the entity’s obligations to transfer assets or issue shares. The Company does not expect adoption of SFAS No. 150 to have a material impact, if any, on its financial position or results of operations.

Off Balance Sheet Risk
The Company could be affected by the inability to establish a market for their shares of stock. Additionally, since the date of incorporation, the short-term sales revenue for the Company has come primarily from two principal accounts, which is due to the fact that the markets for the products from these accounts have been very active recently. Over the long-term, management expects the markets for these products and accounts to diversify. Also, these principals are not the only suppliers for these products and management has other sources for identical products if it becomes necessary to find other suppliers.
(3)
Equity Line of Credit
In April 2003, the Company entered into an equity line of credit investment agreement with Dutchess Private Equities Fund, L.P. (Dutchess). Under this equity line of credit, the Company may periodically sell shares of common stock to Duchess to raise capital. The Company has filed a Form SB-2 registration statement with the SEC to register 10,675,675 shares of common stock to undertake this equity line of credit. As of September 30, 2003 this registration statement has not become effective and there have been no transactions under this equity line of credit agreement

Indemnification of Directors and Officers
The General Corporation Law of Nevada permits provisions in the articles, by-laws or resolutions approved by shareholders which limit liability of directors for breach of fiduciary duty, but such a provision must not eliminate or limit the liability of a director or officer for acts or omissions which involve intentional misconduct, fraud or a knowing violation of law; or the payment of distributions in violation of Nevada Revised Statures 78.300; or any provision, not contrary to the laws of Nevada, for the management of the business and for the conduct of the affairs of the corporation, and any provision creating, defining, limiting or regulating the powers of the corporation or the rights, powers or duties of the directors, and the stockholders, or any class of the stockholders, or the holders of bonds or other obligations of the corporation, or governing the distribution or division of the profits of the corporation.
The articles with these exceptions eliminate any personal liability of a Director to the Company or its shareholders for monetary damages for the breach of a Director’s fiduciary duty and therefore a Director cannot be held liable for damages to the Company or its shareholders for gross negligence or lack of due care in carrying out his fiduciary duties as a Director. The Company’s by-laws indemnify its Officers and Directors for any acts or omissions to act while in the scope of their duties as Officers and Directors. Furthermore, Nevada law permits indemnification if a director or officer acts in good faith in a manner reasonably believed to be in, or not opposed to, the best interests of the corporation. A director or officer must be indemnified as to any matter in which he successfully defends himself. Indemnification is prohibited as to any matter in which the director or officer is adjudged liable to the corporation.
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to officers and directors of the Company pursuant to the provisions of the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation, the Company has been informed 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.

Undertakings
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 (the "Act") may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of Cal-Bay International pursuant to the provisions in Item 14 above, or otherwise, Cal-Bay has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in such act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by Cal-Bay of expenses incurred or paid by a director or officer or controlling person of Cal-Bay in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, Cal-Bay 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 of whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in such act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
