1. Complete a public offering. We believe that we will raise sufficient capital to begin our operations. We believe this could take up to 270 days. We will not begin operations until we have raised money from a public offering. We intend to concentrate all of our efforts on raising as much capital as we can during the next nine months.
2. Assuming we complete a public offering, for which there is no assurance, we will immediately begin establish our office and begin advertising and promoting our operations to prospective clients. Establishing our office will take a week. Advertising and promotion will be an ongoing effort. We believe that we will place at least four candidates during the first thirty days of operation. We believe it will cost up to $40,000 for advertising and promotion. We intend to promote our services to software, telecommunications, manufacturing, engineering companies, and to accounting firms. We intend to do this initially by telephone and letter writing. Depending upon the amount of money we receive from the offering and the amount of success we have initially, we intend to expand our marketing through the use of printed brochures and advertising in professional journals. As our customer database increases, we intend to expand through the use of a website on the Internet.
3. At the same time we begin marketing our services, we will be creating an accounting system to bill our fees which will range from 15% to 30% of our candidate's first year annual salary compensation and to record our administrative expenses. We believe that we can have our accounting system completely functional within the first thirty days of operation. The cost is dependent upon the amount of money raised from the offering. We have allocated up to $5,000.00 for the creation of the accounting system. We have also allocated up to $3,000.00 for legal services relating to compliance with the Employment Standards Act. This will be accomplished within the first thirty days of operation as well.
4. As we obtain information about each candidate, including those rejected by us, we will place the information in a database and coded in such a manner to allow us to access individuals in particular fields upon being contacted by a customer. Currently we do not have a software database to hold information on candidates. At the conclusion of this offering, we intend to buy software called Maximizer which costs approximately $140 for our software database. The database will be in place during the first week of our operation. A key to our future success is the ability to create a large database of qualified professionals.
There is no historical financial information about CanPro Placement Services Inc. upon which to base an evaluation of our performance. We are in a start-up stage operation and have not generated any revenues. We cannot guarantee we will be successful in our business operations. Our business is subject to risks inherent in the establishment of a new business enterprise, including limited capital resources and possible cost overruns due to price and cost increases in services.
To become profitable and competitive, we have established a clientele and place our clients with businesses. We are seeking equity financing to provide for the capital required to implement our operations.
We have no assurance that future financing will be available to us on acceptable terms. If financing is not available on satisfactory terms, we may be unable to continue, develop or expand our operations. Equity financing could result in additional dilution to existing shareholders.
Results of operations
Operating results for the six-month period ended June 30, 2003
We incurred a net loss of $14,257 for the six-month period ended June 30, 2003 resulting in a loss per share of $0.00. The loss was attributable to $4,500 in general and administrative expenses and $1,983 in interest expense, $3,000 in salary expense and $4,774 in professional fees.
Operating results for the six-month period ended June 30, 2002
We incurred a net loss of $10,311 for the six-month period ended June 30, 2002 resulting in a loss per share of $0.00. The loss was attributable to $5,331 in general and administrative expenses and $1,684 in interest expense, and $3,000 in salary expense.
Other than incorporating, hiring and attorney and auditor, we did not conduct any operations of any kind and will not do so until we have completed this offering. We expect to begin operations thirty days after we complete this offering.
Since inception, we sold 5,000,000 shares of common stock to Marcel de Groot, a former officer and director for $50.00. Mr. de Groot has advanced $24,750 for the expenses of this offering.
Liquidity and capital resources
As of the date of this registration statement, we have yet to generate any revenues from our business operations.
We issued 5,000,000 shares of common stock through a Section 4(2) private placement in December 2001. This was accounted for as a sale of common stock.
As of June 30, 2003, our total assets were $50 and our total liabilities were $61,435.
The going concern basis of presentation assumes we will continue in operation throughout the next fiscal year and into the foreseeable future and will be able to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business. Certain conditions, discussed below, currently exist which raise substantial doubt upon the validity of this assumption. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of the uncertainty.
Our future operations are dependent upon our ability to obtain third party financing in the form of debt and equity and ultimately to generate future profitable operations or income from its investments. As of March 31, 2003, we have not generated revenues, and have experienced negative cash flow from operations. We may look to secure additional funds through future debt or equity financings. Such financings may not be available or may not be available on reasonable terms.

Critical Accounting Policies
Our discussion and analysis of its financial condition and results of operations, including the discussion on liquidity and capital resources, are based upon our financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. On an ongoing basis, management re-evaluates its estimates and judgments.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In December 2002, the FASB issued SFAS No. 148, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation - Transition and Disclosure," which amends SFAS No. 123 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, SFAS No. 148 expands the disclosure requirements of SFAS No. 123 to require more 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 transition provisions of SFAS No. 148 are effective for fiscal years ended after December 15, 2002. The transition provisions do not currently have an impact on the Company's financial position and results of operations as the Company has no stock-based employee compensation. The disclosure provisions of SFAS No. 148 are effective for financial statements for interim periods beginning after December 15, 2002. Th e Company will adopt the disclosure requirements of SFAS No. 148 if stock-based compensation is awarded to employees.
In June 2002, FASB issued SFAS No. 146, "Accounting for Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities". The provisions of this Statement are effective for exit or disposal activities that are initiated after December 31, 2002, with early application encouraged. 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. The Company adopted SFAS No. 146 on January 1, 2003. The adoption of this standard did not have a material effect on the Company's results of operations or financial position.
FASB has also issued SFAS No. 145, 147 and 149 but they will not have any relationship to the operations of the Company therefore a description of each and their respective impact on the Company's operations have not been disclosed.
The following discussion should be read in conjunction with our historical Financial Statements and contained herein.
