We provide an online bundle of services to clients including a wide range of reports and additional online “value added” features such as fraud detection, declination letters and online submissions to collections. While all of these services are presently available elsewhere to our present and potential clients, we eliminate the need to go to several different sources to get the information. In other words, E-Renter provides an internet “one stop shopping” service at very reasonable rates.
E-Renter USA is in the development stage and has small but growing revenues. Since inception, our president has concentrated his efforts on research and the establishment of relationships with the various agencies that supply different facets of information, of the market for our services and preparing our business strategy. In our first set of audited financial statements, date June 30, 2004 our independent accountant rendered an opinion as to our viability as a “going concern”. We have commenced operations. we incurred initial losses of less than $5,000, have an advance of $5,000 from our CEO but are now operating with a small net profit even though we have increased administration and marketing expenses. F ull and rapid implementation of our business strategy is reliant on our ability to raise capital in this offering. See “Risk Factors” and “Implementation of the Business Plan”

Risk Factors
An investment in our common shares involves a high degree of risk and is subject to many uncertainties. These risks and uncertainties may adversely affect our business, operating results and financial condition. Our most significant risks and uncertainties are described below; however, they are not the only risks we face. If any of the following risks actually occur, our business, financial condition, or results or operations could be materially adversely affected, the trading of our common stock could decline, and you may lose all or part of your investment therein. You should acquire shares of our common stock only if you can afford to lose your entire investment. In order to attain an appreciation for these risks and uncertainties, you should read this prospectus in its entirety and consider all of the information and advisements contained in this prospectus, including the following risk factors and uncertainties.
Risks related to our business.
We have limited assets and are dependent upon the proceeds of this offering in order to accelerate our growth ..
Through October 31, 2005, our funding has been $ 24,800, an amount we estimate d would be adequate to cover the costs associated with this filing and subsequent amendments. Subsequently our sales increased and we became marginally profitable despite drastic re-investment of profits in our marketing efforts.
Our assets are the concept and business plan, including the establishing of relationships with the various credit reporting background search organizations. Management estimates that total expenses for the year following the completion of this offering will amount to approximately $160,000 or 64% of the total maximum proceeds from this offering or approximately $12 9,661 in excess of our cash position on October 31 2005 .. Other than the shares offered by this prospectus no other source of capital has been identified or sought after.
If we are not successful in raising sufficient capital through this offering we will be faced with several options:
1.
cease operations and go out of business;
2.
seek after alternative, acceptable sources of capital;
3.
bring in additional capital that may result in a change of control; or
4.
identify a candidate for acquisition that seeks access to the public marketplace and its sources of financing.
In the event of any of the above circumstances you could lose a substantial part or all of your investment, particularly if we cease operations and go out of business. There can no assurances that the maximum capital raised in this offering will be sufficient to fund our business plan or that we will be profitable as a result. Failure to raise sufficient capital or find additional funding would have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and operating results and have a material adverse effect on the value of your shares of our common stock.
We are dependent on our directors and officers . Should anything happen to one or both, we could suffer serious losses.
Our officers and directors are husband and wife . Our president and CEO now devotes about 80% of his time to our affairs. If and when this offering is declared effective and the minimum subscription amount is reached he will devote 100% of his time to growing our business. However, i f we should lose his services for any reason it would severely hamper our ability to put our business plan into effect and as a result your stock could become worthless. We will be heavily dependent on this one director for the success of our enterprise. His inability to act for any reason could seriously harm the business and your investment, resulting in a possible loss of profits and decrease or loss in your investment.
In the event our officers and directors are unable to perform services on our behalf, we would need to seek one or more alternative officers and directors. Any delay or our inability to find such an alternative officer and director may cause us to cease operations and, accordingly, not generate the revenue needed to commence or maintain operations. As a result, there would be a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and operating results and have a material adverse effect on the value of your shares of our common stock.
We have no employment agreement with either of our officers and directors and there can be no assurance that they will continue to manage our affairs in the future. Should one or both encounter health problems or worse, this would result in a very negative effect on our business and cause a corresponding negative effect on your investment. There are no assurances that we can or will develop another key person to replace our officers and directors. This could result in an adverse effect on our business and operation and will likely have a materially adverse effect on our business, financial condition and operating results, all of which may result in a complete loss of your investment.
Our directors and control persons own 53% of our outstanding common stock.
Because our directors and control persons are husband and wife and are judged to be, in effect, one person concerning their beneficial owner ship of our outstanding common stock, presuming all the shares of common stock in this offering are sold, they will own some 53% of the issued and outstanding common stock and will have the power to make and control corporate decisions that may be disadvantageous to other shareholders. Guy Seeklus and Brenda Menkis, provided they vote in unison, will have total control in determining the outcome of all corporate transactions or other matters, including mergers, consolidations and the sale of all or substantially all of our assets, and also the power to prevent or cause a change in control. The interests of Mr. Seeklus and Ms. Menkis may differ from the interests of the other stockholders and thus result in corporate decisions that are disadvantageous to other shareholders. C onflicts in corporate decisions may result in the company being unable to make timely business decisions, and, consequently, have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and operating results, all of which may result in a complete loss of your investment.
Landlords, management companies and employers may fail to see the value of our services and decline to use them.
Like most services we are entirely dependent on someone valuing the service we render enough to justify the expenditure it requires. Landlords, accustomed to conducting their own research on prospective tenants, may feel that a more thorough investigation is an unnecessary expense. Management companies, overseeing multiple rental properties, may have their own department doing their tenant checks and prefer to have in house people doing the research. Employers may have alternate methods of judging a potential employee’s suitability and not perceive the value in what we have to offer. Should any or all of the aforementioned groups decide that they cannot or will not afford our services we would accumulate operating deficits that would eventually cause us to cease operations. Please consider these points carefully when thinking of investing. Such a failure to accept our services may materiall y and adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations and result in decreased or negligible revenues, which, in turn, may result in the entire loss of your investment, particularly if we cease operations.
Risks relating to the securities market
Our common stock has no market, there is no liquidity and resale of your shares may be difficult.
There is presently no demand for the common stock of our company. There is presently no public market in the shares. While we intend to apply for a quotation on the Over the Counter Bulletin Board, we cannot guarantee that our application will be approved and our stock listed and quoted for sale. Should our application be approved, the trading market price of our common stock may decline below the price at which it was sold. If a market should develop, the price may be highly volatile. In addition, an active public market for our common stock may not develop or be sustained, resulting in a loss on your investment. If selling stockholders sell all or substantial amounts of their common stock in the public market (see "Selling Stockholders"), the market price of our common stock could fall. There are no restrictions on our selling shareholders, and, therefore, any large sale of our common stock the value of the remaining shares of common stock held by other investors could be substantially reduced, resulting in a loss on their investment.
Our shares will be "Penny Stocks" which are subject to certain restrictions that could adversely affect the liquidity of an investment in us.
We intend to initially trade our common stock in the over-the-counter market. The stock price will likely be at less than $5.00 per share. Such shares are referred to as "penny stocks" within the definition of that term contained in Rules 15g-1 through 15g-9 promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. These rules impose sales practices and disclosure requirements on certain broker-dealers who engage in certain transactions involving penny stocks. These additional sales practices and disclosure requirements could impede the sale of our securities, including securities purchased herein, in the secondary market. In general, penny stocks are low priced securities that do not have a very high trading volume. Consequently, the price of the stock is volatile and you may not be able to buy or sell the stock when you want. Accordingly, the liquidity for our securiti es may be adversely affected, with related adverse effects on the price of our securities.
Under the penny stock regulations, a broker-dealer selling penny stocks to anyone other than an established customer or “accredited investor" (generally, an individual with a net worth in excess of $1,000,000 or annual income exceeding $200,000 or $300,000 together with his or her spouse) must make a special suitability determination for the purchaser and must receive the purchaser’s written consent to the transaction prior to the sale, unless the broker-dealer is otherwise exempt. In addition, unless the broker-dealer or the transaction is otherwise exempt, the penny stock regulations require the broker-dealer to deliver, prior to any transaction involving a penny stock, a disclosure schedule prepared by the Securities and Exchange Commission relating to the penny stock. A broker-dealer is also required to disclose commissions payable to the broker-dealer and the Registered Representative and curr ent quotations for the securities. A broker-dealer is additionally required to send monthly statements disclosing recent price information with respect to the penny stock held in a customer's account and information with respect to the limited market in penny stocks.
The market price for our common shares will be particularly volatile given our status as a relatively unknown company with a small and thinly traded public float, limited operating history and lack of profits which could lead to wide fluctuations in our share price. The price at which you purchase our common shares may not be indicative of the price that will prevail in the trading market. You may be unable to sell your common shares at or above your purchase price, which may result in substantial losses to you.
The market for our common shares will be characterized by significant price volatility once we are trading on the OTCBB, when compared to seasoned issuers, and we expect that our share price will continue to be more volatile than a seasoned issuer for the indefinite future. The anticipated volatility in our share price can be attributable to a number of factors. First, as noted above, our common shares will likely be sporadically and thinly traded. As a consequence of this lack of liquidity, the trading of relatively small quantities of shares by our shareholders may disproportionately influence the price of those shares in either direction. The price for our shares could, for example, decline precipitously in the event that a large number of our common shares are sold on the market without commensurate demand, as compared to a seasoned issuer which could better absorb those sales without adverse impact on its share price. S econdly, we are a speculative or "risky" investment due to our limited operating history and lack of profits to date, and uncertainty of future market acceptance for our potential products. As a consequence of this enhanced risk, more risk-adverse investors may, under the fear of losing all or most of their investment in the event of negative news or lack of progress, be more inclined to sell their shares on the market more quickly and at greater discounts than would be the case with the stock of a seasoned issuer. Many of these factors are beyond our control and may decrease the market price of our common shares, regardless of our operating performance. We cannot make any predictions or projections as to what the prevailing market price for our common shares will be at any time, including as to whether our common shares will sustain their current market prices, or as to what effect that the sale of shares or the availability of common shares for sale at any time will have on the prevailing market price.
Shareholders should be aware that, according to SEC Release No. 34-29093, the market for penny stocks has suffered in recent years from patterns of fraud and abuse. Such patterns include (1) control of the market for the security by one or a few broker-dealers that are often related to the promoter or issuer; (2) manipulation of prices through prearranged matching of purchases and sales and false and misleading press releases; (3) boiler room practices involving high-pressure sales tactics and unrealistic price projections by inexperienced sales persons; (4) excessive and undisclosed bid-ask differential and markups by selling broker-dealers; and (5) the wholesale dumping of the same securities by promoters and broker-dealers after prices have been manipulated to a desired level, along with the resulting inevitable collapse of those prices and with consequent investor losses. Our management is aware of the abuses that have o ccurred historically in the penny stock market. Although we do not expect to be in a position to dictate the behavior of the market or of broker-dealers who participate in the market, management will strive within the confines of practical limitations to prevent the described patterns from being established with respect to our securities. The occurrence of these patterns or practices could increase the volatility of our share price.
To date, we have not paid any cash dividends and no cash dividends will be paid in the foreseeable future.
We do not anticipate paying cash dividends on our common shares in the foreseeable future. We may not have enough funds to legally pay dividends. Even if funds are legally available to pay dividends, we may nevertheless decide in our sole discretion not to pay dividends.
Volatility in our common share price may subject us to securities litigation, thereby diverting our resources that may have a material adverse effect on our results of operations.
As discussed in the preceding risk factor, the market for our common shares is characterized by significant price volatility when compared to seasoned issuers, and we expect that our share price will continue to be more volatile than a seasoned issuer for the indefinite future. In the past, plaintiffs have often initiated securities class action litigation against a company following periods of volatility in the market price of its securities. We may in the future be the target of similar litigation. Securities litigation could result in substantial costs and liabilities and could divert management's attention and resources.
We are subject to the certain anti-takeover provisions under Colorado law which could discourage or prevent a potential takeover of our company that might otherwise result in you receiving a premium over the market price for your common shares.
As a Colorado corporation, we are subject to certain provisions of the Colorado General Corporation Law that anti-takeover affects and may inhibit a non-negotiated merger or other business combination. These provisions are intended to encourage any person interested in acquiring us to negotiate with, and to obtain the approval of, our Board of Directors in connection with such a transaction. However, certain of these provisions may discourage a future acquisition of us, including an acquisition in which the shareholders might otherwise receive a premium for their shares. As a result, shareholders who might desire to participate in such a transaction may not have the opportunity to do so. Our charter and bylaws do not contain any provision(s) that pertain to this possibility.
Forward-Looking Statements
This prospectus contains forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. We use words such as anticipate, believe, plan, expect, future, intend and similar expressions to identify such forward-looking statements. You should not place too much reliance on these forward-looking statements. Our actual results are most likely to differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements for many reasons, including the risks faced by us described in the Risk Factors section and elsewhere in this prospectus.

Sales Representatives
A total of ten Sales Representatives will be hired the first year on a draw-against-commission basis.
Web Development
Development of sites to attract clients to expanded services.
As the three scenarios above indicate:
§
We will not have sufficient funds to ideally expand operations unless substantially all of the 1,000,000 common shares being offered by us are purchased;
§
If we only sell 500,000 common shares, our start up costs would remain the same but our telemarketing, Internet Marketing and hiring of Sales Representatives would be reduced, website development would be discarded and working capital would be restricted;
§
If we sell only 300,000 of our common shares (our minimum) all areas of our business would necessarily be scaled back or eliminated, probably resulting in reduced revenues, endangering our working capital and our ability to deal with unanticipated expenses and contingencies. While our sales are growing steadily and we are operating within our gross profit without accumulating operating losses we may be forced to consider other ways to expand our sales more rapidly, should we be successful in selling only the minimum (or close to it).
Determination of Offering Price
The offering price of this issue was set in a purely arbitrary manner. We determined the amount of money needed to start the business, added a contingency amount, allowed for printing costs and possible commissions if a broker/dealer should become involved with the sale to the public of this issue. We also took into account the resultant number of shares in the "float", i.e. the number of shares available to be traded. The final consideration was the perceived market capitalization (the theoretical total worth of the shares of E-Renter USA if they were all sold at a specific price at the same time).
Dilution
E-Renter USA, Inc., prior to this offering has 5,248,000 shares of stock issued and outstanding. 248,000 shares of this amount are being qualified for sale by present shareholders as part of this registration statement.
On January 5, 2005 Inge Kerster surrendered 1,500,000 of her 2,500,000 shares for cancellation.
The following table illustrates the difference between the price paid by present shareholders and the price to be paid by subscribers to this offering.

Selling security holders
The following table presents information regarding the selling security holder. Unless otherwise stated below, to our knowledge no selling security holder nor any affiliate of such shareholder has held any position or office with, been employed by or otherwise has had any material relationship with us or our affiliates during the three years prior to the date of this prospectus. None of the selling security holders are members of the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. The selling security holders may be deemed to be "underwriters" within the meaning of the Securities Act of 1933. The number and percentage of shares beneficially owned before and after the sales is determined in accordance with Rule 13d-3 and 13d-5 of the Exchange Act, and the information is not necessarily indicative of beneficial ownership for any other purpose. We believe that each ind ividual or entity named has sole investment and voting power with respect to the securities indicated as beneficially owned by them, subject to community property laws, where applicable, except where otherwise noted. The total number of common shares sold under this prospectus may be adjusted to reflect adjustments due to stock dividends, stock distributions, splits, combinations or recapitalizations.
Other than the costs of preparing this Prospectus and a registration fee to the Securities and Exchange Commission, we are not paying any costs relating to the sales of shares of our common stock by the Selling Shareholders. Each of the Selling Shareholders, or their transferees, and intermediaries to whom such securities may be sold may be deemed to be an "underwriter" of the common stock offered in this prospectus, as that term is defined under the Securities Act. Each of the Selling Shareholders, or their transferees, may sell shares of our common stock from time to time for their own account in the open market at the prevailing prices, or in individually negotiated transactions at such prices as may be agreed upon. The net proceeds from the sale of shares of our common stock by the Selling Shareholders will inure entirely to their benefit and not to ours.
The Shares may be offered for sale from time to time in regular brokerage transactions in the over-the-counter market, or through brokers or dealers, or in private sales or negotiated transactions, or otherwise, at prices related to the then prevailing market prices. Thus, they may be required to deliver a current prospectus in connection with the offer or sale of their shares of our common stock. In the absence of a current prospectus, if required, these shares of our common stock may not be sold publicly without restriction unless held by a non-affiliate for two years, or after one year subject to volume limitations and satisfaction of other conditions. The Selling Shareholders are hereby advised that Regulation M of the General Rules and Regulations promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 will be applicable to their sales of these shares of our common stock. These rules contain various prohibitions against t rading by persons interested in a distribution and against so-called "stabilization" activities.
The Selling Shareholders, or their transferees, might be deemed to be "underwriters" within the meaning of Section 2(11) of the Securities Act of 1933 and any profit on the resale of these shares of our common stock as principal might be deemed to be underwriting discounts and commissions under the Securities Act of 1933. Any sale of these shares of our common stock by Selling Shareholders, or their transferees, through broker-dealers may cause the broker-dealers to be considered as participating in a distribution and subject to Regulation M promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. If any such transaction were a "distribution" for purposes of Regulation M, then such broker-dealers might be required to cease making a market in our equity securities for either two or nine trading days prior to, and until the completion of, such activity.
The Selling Shareholders named in this prospectus are offering all of the shares of common stock offered through this prospectus. None of our selling share holders are broker-dealers or have any affiliation with any broker dealers.
The selling shareholders named in this prospectus are offering all of the 248,000 shares of common stock offered through this prospectus. These shares were acquired from us in a private placement that was exempt from registration under Regulation D of the Securities Act of 1933. None of our selling share holders are broker-dealers or have any affiliation with any broker dealers.

Plan of Distribution
Plan of Distribution for the Company.
General
We will attempt to sell a maximum of 1,000,000 shares of our common stock to the public on a “self underwritten” basis. The Company must receive a minimum of subscriptions for 300,000 shares or $75,000. The Company shall have the initial subscriptions placed in a non-interest bearing escrow account until such minimum subscriptions are reached or, in the event the minimum subscriptions are not reached, promptly returned to the investors. There can be no assurance that any of these shares will be sold. Our gross proceeds will be $250,000 if all the shares offered are sold. Neither we nor our officer or directors, nor any other person, will pay commissions or other fees, directly or indirectly, to any person or firm in connection with solicitation of the sales of the shares. The Escrow Agreement (as described below) and the form of Subscription agreement are filed as exhibits.
This is a self-underwritten offering. This prospectus is part of a registration statement that permits the officers and directors of E-Renter USA to sell directly to the public, with no commission or other remuneration payable. At the discretion of the Board of Directors an underwriting contract may be entered into with one or more broker/dealers on a "best efforts" or firm-commitment basis. In this case, commissions and expenses within the guidelines of the NASD would be negotiated. We will be required to halt sales and file a post-effective amendment to this prospectus outlining the payment to the broker/dealer(s). There are no plans or arrangements to enter a contract to sell with a broker/dealer.
Management has plans to buy shares of common stock in this offering. However, no subscription by a member of management will be accepted for or credited to the minimum subscription amount. The amount of shares that management can or will subscribe for will be determined by the success of this offering to non-management investors and in consultation with our legal counsel.
No public market currently exists for shares of our common stock. We intend to apply to have its shares traded on the Over-the-Counter Bulletin Board.
Our president and CEO, Guy Seeklus will be the only person authorized to offer the securities on our behalf and will rely on the safe harbor from broker dealer registration set out in Rule 3a4-1 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.
Mr. Seeklus:
o
will not be subject to a statutory disqualification, as that term is defined inSection 3(a)(39) of the Act, at the time of his participation: and
o
will not be compensated in connection with his participation by the payment of commissions or other remuneration based either directly or indirectly on transactions in securities; and
o
will not at the time of his participation be an associated person of a broker or dealer;
o
meets the conditions of paragraph Rule 3a4-1(a)(4)(ii) of the Act in that the person offering securities will have substantial duties for or on behalf of the issuer otherwise than in connection with transactions in securities; and the associated person was not a broker or denier, or an associated person of a broker or dealer, within the preceding 2 months; and the associated person does not participate in selling all offering of securities for any issuer more than once every 12 months.
The offering by us and the offering by our selling shareholders will be held concurrently and the price will be the same for both offerings.
The Escrow Account
We have established an escrow account with our attorney, Joseph I. Emas (who will act as Escrow Agent), wherein funds will be held until such time as the minimum offering amount of 300,000 shares of our common stock at a price of $0.25 per share has been subscribed for. Prior to the completion of the minimum offering, subscribers shall have their payments deposited into the Escrow Agent’s non-interest bearing attorney’s account. If we do not complete the minimum offering within 180 days from the effective date of this prospectus, the Escrow Agent shall forthwith promptly return each subscriber’s respective subscription funds. If we complete the minimum offering within 180 days from the effective date of this prospectus and provide the Escrow Agent with certificates representing the shares of common stock subscribed for by the subscribers, the Escrow Agent shall forthwith release the subscription funds to us.
Plan of Distribution for the Selling Shareholders.
The cost of the Offering and the cost of the offering expenses to be paid by the Company, on behalf of the selling shareholders is estimated at a total of $ 24,600 and will be paid by the Company.
The selling shareholders may sell some or all of their common stock in one or more transactions, including block transactions:
1.
On such public markets or exchanges as the common stock may from time to time be trading;
2.
In privately negotiated transactions;
3.
Through the writing of options on the common stock; or
4.
In any combination of these methods of distribution.
The shares may also be sold in compliance with the Securities and Exchange Commission's Rule 144.
The selling shareholders are required to sell our shares at $0.25 per share until our shares are quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board, and thereafter at prevailing market prices or privately negotiated prices.
The selling shareholders may also sell their shares directly to market makers acting as principals or brokers or dealers, who may act as agent or acquire the common stock as a principal. Any broker or dealer participating in such transactions as agent may receive a commission from the selling shareholders, or, if they act as agent for the purchaser of such common stock, from such purchaser. The selling shareholders will likely pay the usual and customary brokerage fees for such services. Brokers or dealers may agree with the selling shareholders to sell a specified number of shares at a stipulated price per share and, to the extent such broker or dealer is unable to do so acting as agent for the selling shareholders, to purchase, as principal, any unsold shares at the price required to fulfill the respective broker's or dealer's commitment to the s elling shareholders. Brokers or dealers who acquire shares as principals may thereafter resell such shares from time to time in transactions in a market or on an exchange, in negotiated transactions or otherwise, at market prices prevailing at the time of sale or at negotiated prices, and in connection with such re-sales may pay or receive commissions to or from the purchasers of such shares. These transactions may involve cross and block transactions that may involve sales to and through other brokers or dealers. If applicable, the selling shareholders may distribute shares to one or more of their partners who are unaffiliated with us. Such partners may, in turn, distribute such shares as described above. We can provide no assurance that all or any of the common stock offered will be sold by the selling shareholders.
In connection with distributions of the shares, the selling stockholders may enter into hedging transactions with broker-dealers and the broker-dealers may engage in short sales of the shares in the course of hedging the positions they assume with the selling stockholder. The selling stockholders also may sell the shares short and deliver the shares to close out such short positions. The selling stockholders also may enter into options or other transactions with broker-dealers that involve the delivery of the shares to the broker-dealers, which may then resell or otherwise transfer such shares. The selling stockholders also may loan or pledge the shares to a broker-dealer and the broker-dealer may sell the shares so loaned or upon a default may sell or otherwise transfer the pledged shares.
If our selling shareholders enter into arrangements with brokers or dealers, as described above, we are obligated to file a post-effective amendment to this registration statement disclosing such arrangements, including the names of any broker dealers acting as underwriters.
We are bearing all costs relating to the registration of the common stock, including those costs incurred on behalf of the selling shareholders. The selling shareholders, however, will pay any commissions or other fees payable to brokers or dealers in connection with any sale of their shares.
The selling shareholders must comply with the requirements of the Securities Act and the Securities Exchange Act in the offer and sale of the common stock. In particular, during such times as the selling shareholders may be deemed to be engaged in a distribution of the common stock, and therefore be considered to be an underwriter, they must comply with applicable law and may, among other things:
1.
Not engage in any stabilization activities in connection with our common stock;
2.
Furnish each broker or dealer through which common stock may be offered, such copies of this prospectus, as amended from time to time, as may be required by such broker or dealer; and
3.
Not bid for or purchase any of our securities or attempt to induce any person to purchase any of our securities other than as permitted under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.
The Securities Exchange Commission has also adopted rules that regulate broker-dealer practices in connection with transactions in penny stocks. Penny stocks are generally equity securities with a price of less than $5.00 (other than securities registered on certain national securities exchanges or quoted on the NASDAQ system, provided that current price and volume information with respect to transactions in such securities is provided by the exchange or system).
A purchaser is purchasing penny stock which limits the ability to sell the stock. The shares offered by this prospectus constitute penny stock under the Securities and Exchange Act. The shares will remain penny stock for the foreseeable future. The classification of penny stock makes it more difficult for a broker-dealer to sell the stock into a secondary market, which makes it more difficult for a purchaser to liquidate his or her investment. Any broker-dealer engaged by the purchaser for the purpose of selling his or her shares in us will be subject to rules 15g-1 through 15g-10 of the Securities and Exchange Act. Rather than creating a need to comply with those rules, some broker-dealers will refuse to attempt to sell penny stock.
The penny stock rules require a broker-dealer, prior to a transaction in a penny stock not otherwise exempt from those rules, deliver a standardized risk disclosure document prepared by the Commission, which:
o
contains a description of the nature and level of risk in the market for penny stocks in both public offerings and secondary trading;
o
contains a description of the broker's or dealer's duties to the customer and of the rights and remedies available to the customer with respect to a violation to such duties or other requirements of the Securities Act of 1934, as amended;
o
contains a brief, clear, narrative description of a dealer market, including "bid" and "ask" prices for penny stocks and the significance of the spread between the bid and ask price;
o
contains a toll-free telephone number for inquiries on disciplinary actions;
o
defines significant terms in the disclosure document or in the conduct of trading penny stocks; and
o
contains such other information and is in such form (including language, type, size, and format) as the Securities and Exchange Commission shall require by rule or regulation;
The broker-dealer also must provide, prior to effecting any transaction in a penny stock, the customer:
1.
with bid and offer quotations for the penny stock;
2.
the compensation of the broker-dealer and its salesperson in the transaction;
3.
the number of shares to which such bid and ask prices apply, or
4.
other comparable information relating to the depth and liquidity of the market for such stock; and
5.
monthly account statements showing the market value of each penny stock held in the customer’s account.
In addition, the penny stock rules require that prior to a transaction in a penny stock not otherwise exempt from those rules; the broker-dealer must make a special written determination that the penny stock is a suitable investment for the purchaser and receive the purchaser's written acknowledgment of the receipt of a risk disclosure statement, a written agreement to transactions involving penny stocks, and a signed and dated copy of a written suitability statement. These disclosure requirements will have the effect of reducing the trading activity in the secondary market for our stock because it will be subject to these penny stock rules. Therefore, stockholders may have difficulty selling those securities.
The offerings by us and the offering by our selling shareholders will be held concurrently and the price will be the same for both offerings.
Terms of the Offering
The selling shareholders’ offering is concurrent with the Company’s primary public offering. The selling shareholders named in this prospectus are offering 248,000 shares of common stock at a fixed stated price of $0.25 until quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board, if ever, and thereafter at the Bulletin Board price.

In connection with the Offering, an escrow fund has been established to secure investors’ funds until the earlier of the completion of the Minimum Offering of 300,000 shares or the termination of the Offering on the date that is 180 days from the date of this prospectus. The maximum offering is 1,000,000 shares of common stock in the capital of the Company at a price of $0.25 for gross proceeds of $250,000. The Offering will terminate (i) once all subscriptions for the maximum offering are received and accepted or (ii) 180 days from the date of this prospectus.

Conflicts of Interest
Our officers and directors spend an increasing amount of time attending to the affairs of E-Renter USA . Our president and CEO spends approximately forty hours per week. While the affairs of E-Renter are paramount, there may be occasions when the time requirements of the business conflict with the demands of his other business and investment activities and we may need to employ additional personnel.

There is no procedure in place, which would allow our officers and directors to resolve potential conflicts in an arms-length fashion. We must rely on them to use their discretion to resolve these conflicts.

Description of securities
Common stock.
The Articles of Incorporation of E-Renter USA authorize the issuance of 100,000,000 shares of common stock, $0.001 par value. Each holder of record of common stock is entitled to one vote for each share held on all matters properly submitted to the stockholders for their vote. The Articles of Incorporation do not permit cumulative voting for the election of directors.
Holders of common stock are entitled to such dividends as may be declared from time to time by the Board of Directors out of legally available funds. In the event of liquidation, dissolution or winding up of our affairs, holders are entitled to receive, ratably, the net assets available to stockholders after distribution is made to the preferred shareholders, if any.
Holders of common stock have no preemptive, conversion or redemptive rights. All of the issued and outstanding shares of common stock are, and all un-issued shares when issued will be duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid, and non assessable. If additional shares of E-Renter USA common stock are issued, the relative interests of then existing stockholders may be diluted.
Preferred Stock
The Articles of Incorporation of E-Renter USA authorize the issuance of 10,000,000 shares of preferred stock, $.001 par value. The Board of Directors is authorized to issue preferred shares from time to time in series and is further authorized to establish such series, to fix and determine the variations in the relative rights and preferences as common stock. No preferred stock has been issued.
Dividend Policy
We have never declared or paid any cash dividends on our common stock. We currently intend to retain future earnings, if any, to finance the expansion of our business. As a result, we do not anticipate paying any cash dividends in the foreseeable future.
Convertible Securities
We have not issued and do not have outstanding any securities convertible into shares of our common stock or any rights convertible or exchangeable into shares of our common stock.
Amendment of our Bylaws
Our bylaws may be adopted, amended or repealed by the affirmative vote of a majority of our outstanding shares. Subject to applicable law, our bylaws also may be adopted, amended or repealed by our board of directors.
Transfer Agent
E-Renter USA is currently serving as its own transfer agent, and plans to continue to serve in that capacity until such time as management believes it is necessary or appropriate to employ an independent transfer agent in order to facilitate the creation of a public trading market for its securities. Should E-Renter USA securities be quoted on any exchange or OTC quotation system or application is made to have the securities quoted, an independent transfer agent will be appointed.
Indemnification of Officers and Directors
As permitted by Colorado law, the Articles of Incorporation of E-Renter USA, Inc. provide that it will indemnify its directors and officers against expenses and liabilities they incur to defend, settle or satisfy any civil or criminal action brought against them on account of their being or having been Company directors or officers, unless, in any such action, they are adjudged to have acted with gross negligence or willful misconduct.
Exclusion of Liabilities
Pursuant to the laws of the State of Colorado, E-Renter USA's Articles of Incorporation exclude personal liability for its directors for monetary damages based upon any violation of their fiduciary duties as directors, except as to liability for any breach of the duty of loyalty, acts or omissions not in good faith or which involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law, acts in violation of the laws and statutes of the State of Colorado or any transaction from which a director receives an improper personal benefit. This exclusion of liability does not limit any right, which a director may have to be indemnified, and does not affect any director's liability under federal or applicable state securities laws.
Disclosure of Commission Position on Indemnification for Securities Act liabilities
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers or persons controlling E-Renter USA pursuant to provisions of the State of Colorado, E-Renter USA has been informed that, in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission, such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in that Act and is, therefore, unenforceable.
Organization within the last five years
E-Renter USA, Inc. was incorporated in the State of Colorado on January 19, 2000 under the name Haida Gwai, Inc. On November 22, 2004 we entered into an agreement with Guy Seeklus and Brenda Menkis, sole shareholders in E-Renter USA Ltd. to acquire all of the issued and outstanding shares in that corporation in exchange for four million (4,000,000) shares of the common stock of Haida Gwai, Inc. Inge Kerster, the sole officer and director of Haida Gwai, Inc. from inception until November, 22, 2004 agreed to affect a name change from Haida Gwai, Inc. to E-Renter, USA, Inc. and then resign as an officer and director. E-Renter USA Ltd. then became a wholly-owned subsidiary of E-Renter USA, Inc.
It was agreed that Ms. Kerster would retain a portion of her shareholdings and arrange for the balance of the approximately $25,000 that was estimated to be needed to file this registration Statement and subsequent amendments. Ms. Kerster, due to a serious health problem agreed to cancel 4,000,000 of her 5,000,000 shares (80%) as a condition of the takeover of E-renter USA, Ltd. Ms. Kerster received no compensation or other benefit the cancellation of a portion of her shares with the exception of the agreement to take over E-Renter USA, Ltd.
Until the share exchange with the stockholders of E-Renter USA Ltd. we had no revenues. Our subsidiary, E-Renter USA Ltd. has begun to generate revenues, mainly through response to its website and telemarketing activities .. Sales are growing steadily every month. We hope to seriously expand both sales and the scope of services available to potential clients if we accomplish at least a portion of this offering. There is no assurance that we will be able to realize the minimum subscription of $75,000 (300,000 shares) or more and if we are successful we will be able to realize any significant increase in revenues.
Description of business
E-Renter USA Ltd is a credit reporting agency located in Blaine Washington. The company provides data to businesses engaged in tenant screening, employee screening and the extension of credit to consumers or businesses. E-Renter provides an online bundle of services to clients including a wide range of reports as well as additional online "value added" features such as fraud detection, declination letters and collections. A portion of our business is obtained by telephone solicitation. Calls are made on a “businesses-to-business” basis only. Individual “don’t call” requests are honored.
E-Renter generates revenues by selling data to clients. Clients are charged for each report they order with an approximate cost of goods at 30%. For example, commercial accounts that have direct online access are charged $9.00 for a credit report. Individual landlords place their orders online and fax us the paperwork each time and are charged $14.95 for a credit report. Depending which credit bureau we use for that client our cost per credit report is $2.30 to $2.75. Our costs will decrease as volume increases and our cost per consumer credit report will fall to $1.50 when we reach 10,000 reports per month.
After credit reports our second largest volume reports are criminal records. We charge our commercial accounts $9.00 per report and the individual landlords who order online are charged $9.95 to $19.95 depending on the criminal search they order. We currently purchase criminal records from multiple sources at prices ranging from $2.79 to $5.25. Our current volume of criminal record purchases justifies purchasing records directly from the State Department of Corrections. We are currently in the process of establis h ing an account with the Washington State Department of Corrections as well as the Washington Superior Court (SCOMIS) These data base subscriptions will allow us to access unlimited Washington State criminal records for an annual subscription fee of $1,800.
Company History – E-Renter USA Ltd.
The original E-Renter concept was created in 1999 and was intended to be an online bundle of services for property managers and landlords. The families of both principals are owners of revenue property and based on first hand experience it was thought that there must be an easier way. The core concept was to incorporate a web portal with central access to online advertising of rental property, online submission to collection agencies, online access to credit reports, a forms library and online access to legislation. The first version of E-Renter was a web site which advertised an apartment building owned by Brenda Menkis's family. Ads were run listing only the URL and positive results were demonstrated.
Based on the success of the web site as a property rental tool a company was incorporated in Vancouver BC in 2000 under the name E-Renter Services Limited. Significant effort and resources were put into web development and the first portal sight was launched. The company attended the Tradex Building Show in 2001 where our beta site was shown to property managers who were asked for feedback. Based on their comments significant changes were made and the most common response was that "it was all very nice but they were really just interested in the credit reports". At that time few building managers had internet access and high speed DSL or ADSL was not widely available. In the fall of 2001 E-Renter Services Limited became a licensed credit reporting agency in British Columbia. The initial marketing effort was based in Vancouver and sales were minimal.
In 2002 sales continued to be minimal but we began to generate sales from the United States. By 2003 it became obvious that the market for our services was in the US and that our marketing efforts and resources should be focused there. A decision was made to incorporate in Washington State as a new company under the name E-Renter USA Ltd and to operate exclusively as a US company. The business of E-Renter Services Limited has been incorporated into the US company and has ceased to exist.
For pricing and regulatory issues we maintained the relationship with Equifax Canada. In the fall of 2003 were able to open an account with Equifax LLC in Atlanta. We also opened accounts with various service providers which allowing us to increase our product offering and price points. By the summer of 2004 we were recognized by a second Credit Bureau (Experian) and we are currently in the process of opening an account with TransUnion.

E-Renter USA Ltd does not engage in the collection of the information we sell. All products are purchased from a wide range of service providers with some redundancy built into our choice of service providers. Our primary value to our customers is in the combined bundle of services we can offer them via a single interface. The company's clients are typically smaller businesses and landlords who would not have access to our wide range of services and who would need to open multiple accounts to obtain our complete range of services. Our buying power allows us to sell credit reports to smaller landlords for approximately half of what they would pay if they purchased reports directly from a credit bureau.
Management’s Discussion and Analysis or Plan of Operation
Market Analysis Summary
The market for our service consists of the following broad segments:
·
Tenant Screening - renting or leasing residential or commercial property
·
Employee Screening - background checks before hiring
·
Financial Services - any business extending credit to a consumer or business
In the following segments our market is national in scope. We currently have the ability to open an account anywhere in the country with all due diligence performed within a 72 hour period. For a slightly additional cost accounts can be opened within 24 hours. In each of the following segments we have the ability to offer clients a comprehensive solution for their credit, screening and collection needs.
Property Management Companies:Firms engaged exclusively in property management are the primary target market for E-Renter. Our total service offering is specifically tailored to this segment. This group is professional in their approach and are open to new methods of conducting business that reduce costs and improve their service offering.
Small to Medium Property Owners:This segment is defined as owners/operators of rental units, usually residential, and usually over 25 units. This segment is also extremely cost conscious and will be receptive to using our services to reduce costs, reduce risk and reduce bad debt.
Commercial Real Estate Companies:This segment is involved in leasing commercial, retail, and warehouse and office space. They are less price sensitive and primarily focused on speed of setup and total service offering.
Public Storage Companies:This segment is involved in the monthly rental of storage space to consumers and businesses. Our screening services very attractive to this group as are the online submission to collections.

Implementation of the Business Plan
Marketing Strategy
An overview of our marketing strategy over the next year includes the following activities:
o
Flyer Campaign - sample mailings have been done in August with positive results. Flyers have been professionally designed, mail lists have been purchased, and a mailing house has been engaged to mail as required. A call center has been engaged to offer 24/7 response to clients calling in to open an account. (1.800.763.9356)
o
Telemarketing - the same call center that handles our inbound calls will be engaged to handle an outbound telemarketing campaign to activate clients.
o
CPC (Internet) - a more aggressive marketing effort will be undertaken utilizing Google and Overture pay per click advertising.
o
Sales representatives - a total of ten sales representatives will be hired over the next year for the purpose of making direct sales calls in key urban centers.
o
Specialized website targeted to specific online reports
1.
Flyer Campaign
Using purchased mailing lists we intend to direct targeted mailings to specific groups (by SIC Code) with flyers tailored to show the availability of reports specific to their state and listing the counties for which we have criminal and evictions data. In addition to tenant screening and employee screening, these mailings will also promote our other online reports such as property deed records, assessor reports, criminal background checks, etc.
2.
Telemarketing
One of our key objectives over the next twelve months is to activate 1,000 online clients who will become members and purchase reports directly through our login. In addition to responses to flyers, we intend to contact targeted lists of property management companies, apartment building owners and small business owners to promote our business. The same web interface that we developed for inbound calls will be used by the outbound telemarketers. This interface allows the operator to enter the client information into a data base which formats the membership application and sends the membership application to the prospect by fax or email with the fields already filled in. All they need to do is sign, attach the necessary documents and fax back. Upon receipt of the signed application and documents, and a satisfactory review, the same software allows us to request an onsite inspection from a third party service provider.
3.
CPC (Internet) Marketing
Substantial traffic and business has been generated from Google and Overture through pay per click advertising. Additional funds will be directed to increase advertising through this medium. We estimate that over 40% of our business is from repeat customers brought to us through this method of advertising. Based on the "life time value of a customer" we find this very cost effective.
4.
Sales Representatives
Despite the high tech nature of our business we clearly recognize that the most basic form of marketing is also the most effective in that sense that nothing beats a sales representative making a face to face presentation. As described in the following section, we intend to initially hire ten sales representatives in key areas that will actively call on prospects and maintain relationships with key accounts.
5.
Specialized web sites.
We will roll out a series of "specialized web sites" which offer instant online reports to specific markets. Several domain names have been registered including www.CriminalData.com,www.CriminalFacts.com,www.SexOffenderData.com,www.DeedRecord.com,www.assessorrecord.com. In addition to these web sites which are tailored to provide instant online reports to specific markets we intend to roll out other domains we own such aswww.e-renter.ca targeted to Canadian tenant screening andwww.e-renter.net targeted to online property rental and advertising. On December 15thwww.CriminalData.com was successfully launched and has begun generating sales. We will launch one site per month over the next year.
As stated in our objectives and marketing plan, we intend to activate a minimum of 1,000 online accounts over the next year. In addition to the passive methods mentioned in the marketing summary we intend to recruit and deploy sales representatives in key areas. Based primarily on population we will engage sales representatives in the following areas:
Los Angeles, San Francisco, Houston, Dallas, Miami, Boston, New York, Seattle, Phoenix
Sales representatives will operate out of their homes and will be provided with basic laptops. The laptops will be used to make sales presentations, receive weekly prospect lists (sorted geographically), and to submit weekly call reports. Sales representatives will receive a monthly draw against commissions of $1,600 against a commission of 25% of gross sales for accounts they activate. The representatives will also receive a car allowance of $400 per month and a cell phone allowance of $100 per month. The phone numbers will be owned by E-Renter so that continuity with the customers will be maintained in the event that a sales representative is terminated or resigns.
The sales representatives will be engaged over a period of five to six months and added by state. For example sales representatives for California, Texas, and New York would be added in the same months so that marketing materials can be tailored for each state and adequate attention can be given to the sales representatives.
Each sales representative will be home based and will be provided with complete online resources to download forms, prospect lists etc. Our intention is to leverage available technology to maintain low operating costs and to minimize the net cost of acquiring each new account. It is estimated that each representative will be able to generate monthly sales of $20,000 to $30,000 within a six month period. Should we receive only the minimum subscription amount of $75,000 (300,00 shares) financing of our sales representatives will, of necessity, need to be revamped. One alternative would be that sales in each city or portion of a city would be developed by a licensee who would bear startup, organization and training costs for a larger percentage of gross income. We are currently examining this alternative very carefully and may well adopt this sales strategy in any case.
Competition and Buying Patterns
Due to the regulatory nature of this business there are significant barriers to entry. This has the effect of limiting the number of new entrants into the marketplace. The common denominator among competitors is the need to purchase credit reports from one of the three credit bureaus which are Equifax, Experian and TransUnion. These three bureaus are the only real suppliers of consumer credit information in the country. The only significant suppliers of commercial credit reports are Dun & Bradstreet or Experian Business.
Firms engaged in supplying consumer credit reports may also sell additional data such as: criminal, unlawful detainer (evictions), driving records, and other miscellaneous reports. Typically a bundle of services are offered to a specific segment. It is important to note that clients may have the option of purchasing directly from one of the three credit bureaus but this is traditionally at a higher price and they are only able to purchase credit reports and must purchase the other products (i.e. criminal and evictions from a separate source.
There are a limited number of competitors in this field. The majority are smaller regional players and there are fewer than five large firms. Dun & Bradstreet lists 68 companies involved in tenant screening (SIC 73899967) and 273 firms involved in credit investigation (73239904). The competition in employee screening is significantly greater as InfoUSA lists 923 firms engaged as Employment Screening Services (8748-61).
Strategy and Implementation Summary
Emphasize a complete solution
We will differentiate ourselves with service by offering a complete bundle of online reports and services targeted to the markets we serve. By focusing on the small to medium sized client we will present them with a "package" that they would typically need to purchase from multiple suppliers.
Build a relationship-oriented business
Build long-term relationships with customers and when possible deliver a "personal touch". Field sales reps in key urban areas are the cornerstone of this strategy.
Focus on target markets
We need to focus our offerings on specific market segments and when possible focus on the sub-segments with specific offerings tailored and packaged for each group. For example, employee screening marketing material for the trucking industry should be tailored to that group and be as specific as possible. Each target market we approach needs to feel that we are "specific" to their needs. A "one size fits all" approach won't work for us.
Due Diligence
Perspective clients applying for online access are thoroughly vetted. Applicants first fill out an application form which can be downloaded at www.e-renter.com/apply. The application forms include a checklist of required documents including articles of incorporation as well as copies of their lease and utility bills. Once an application is received with all documents we verify that the applicant is in good standing with the Secretary of State and that their phone number is publicly listed as stated on their application. We also ask for samples of rental or employee applications to ensure that they are FCRA compliant and are obtaining the required consent from tenants or employees. A bank reference is also verified. The final step before approving their account is a physical inspection. E-Renter USA has contracted a third party firm which is approved by all three cre dit bureaus to do the onsite inspections.
Competitive Edge
Our services are positioned to provide our customers with a complete solution to minimizing risk while helping them grow their business. A business owner will feel more confident extending credit if he knows the client has a track record of paying their bills on time. The same business owner will also minimize risk by properly screening employees (or tenants) to weed out criminals and potentially avoid costly and potentially fatal litigation.
Our pricing strategy is aggressive with a set up fee of only $65.00 which is waived for larger accounts. We do not charge our clients monthly or annual fees and there is no minimum billing. If a client does not use their account for a period of time there is no incentive for them to close the account so we have never had a client close their account.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Our cash resources over the next twelve months are directly tied to the current growth of business and the extent to which this offering is subscribed. At present are requirements are being met by current sales. While this does not eliminate growth it certainly restricts the rate of growth. For instance, if we receive the maximum subscription amount of $250,000 we would be able to spend an additional $60,000 each on telemarketing and internet marketing compared to $30,000 on telemarketing and $10,000 Internet marketing if the minimum amount ($75,000) is subscribed to. We feel that our package of services is unique and well-priced. If our growth is not accelerated we stand the risk of having better funded competition emerge using our concept. With proper funding we anticipate hiring additional staff to meet the demands of the increased sales.
If we do have all or a substantial majority of the shares offered in this prospectus subscribed for we would be severely restricted in developing a part of our business that we believe could be larger and more profitable than the credit reporting side of our business: www. C riminal D ata.com . In today’s climate of enhanced security on all levels, the necessity of running background checks on current and prospective employees is becoming essential. We will be able to offer a fast, accurate and very economical answer to this need. This division will require a totally separate staff.

Report of Independent Registered Accounting Firm
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of E-Renter USA, Inc. and Subsidiaries as of June 30, 2005 and the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders’ equity and cash flows for the year then ended. We did not audit the consolidated statements of operations, stockholders’ equity and cash flows for the year ended June 30, 2004. These statements were audited by other auditors whose reports have been furnished to us, and our opinion, in so far as it relates to the year ended June 30, 2004 is based solely upon the reports of the other auditors. These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audit in accordance with standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, based upon our audit and the reports of other auditors, these consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of E-Renter USA, Inc. as of June 30, 2005 and 2004, and the consolidated results of its operations and cash flows for the years ended June 30, 2005 and 2004 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE 1 – DESCRIPTION OF ORGANIZATION
Organization and description of business
E-Renter USA, Inc. (the “Company”) was incorporated on January 19, 2000 under the laws of the State of Colorado to provide employee and tenant screening and background services. The Company was organized under the name Haida Gwai, Inc. The Company changed its name from Haida Gwai, Inc. to E-Renter USA, Inc. on November 22, 2004. The Company mainly specializes on tenant screening, including: credit reports, evictions, criminal convictions, bankruptcy reports, driving records and property records.
In November 2004, E-Renter USA, Ltd. became the wholly owned subsidiary of E-Renter USA, Inc. in connection with a stock purchase and share exchange agreement. Accordingly these financial statements are the consolidated financial statements of E-Renter USA, Inc. and E-Renter USA, Ltd., Inc., its wholly-owned subsidiary.
NOTE 2 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Principles of Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of E-Renter USA, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiary, E-Renter USA, Ltd. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated.
Earnings Per Share
Basic earnings per share (“EPS”) is computed by dividing earnings available to common shareholders by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding for the period as required by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) under Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 128, “Earnings per Shares”. Diluted EPS reflects the potential dilution of securities that could share in the earnings.
The Company computed basic and diluted earnings (loss) per share amounts for June 30, 2005 pursuant to the Statements of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 128, “Earnings per Share”. There are no potentially dilutive shares outstanding and, accordingly, dilutive per share amounts have not been presented in the accompanying statements of operations.
F-6
Use of Estimates
Management of the Company has made a number of estimates and assumptions relating to the reporting of assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period to prepare these financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Actual results could differ from those estimates and assumptions.
Revenue Recognition
The Company has adopted and follows the guidance provided in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s Staff Accounting Bulletin (“SAB”) No. 104, which provides guidance on the recognition, presentation and disclosure of revenue in financial statements.
The Company recognizes revenues upon the completion and delivery of reports to customers.
Cash
The Company considers all highly liquid debt securities purchased with original or remaining maturities of three months of less to be cash equivalents. The carrying value of cash equivalents approximates fair value.
Income Taxes
The Company uses the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes as required by SFAS No. 109 “Accounting for Income Taxes”. SFAS 109 requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of temporary differences between the carrying amounts and the tax basis of certain assets and liabilities. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are computed annually for the difference between the financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities that will result in taxable or deductible amounts in the future, based on enacted tax laws and rates applicable to the periods in which the differences are expected to affect taxable income. Valuation allowances are established when necessary to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized. Income tax expense is the tax payable or refundable for the period, plus or minu s the change during the period in deferred tax assets and liabilities.
Stock-Based Compensation
The Company accounts for stock options issued to employees in accordance with the provisions of Accounting Principles Board (“APB”) Opinion No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees,” and the related interpretations. As such, compensation cost is measured on the date of grant as the excess of current market price of the underlying stock over the exercise price. Such compensation amounts are amortized over the respective vesting periods of the option grant. The Company adopted the disclosure provisions of SFAS No. 123, “Accounting
F-7
for Stock-Based Compensation,” and SFAS No. 148, “Accounting for Stock Based Compensation
– Transition and Disclosure,” which allows entities to provide pro forma net income (loss) and pro forma earnings (loss) per share disclosures for employee stock option grants as if the fair-value based method defined in SFAS No. 123 has been applied.
The Company accounts for stock options or warrants issued to non-employees for good or services in accordance with the fair value of the options or warrants issued. The fair value is computed using an options pricing model.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 107, “Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments,” requires disclosures of information regarding the fair value of certain financial instruments for which it is practicable to estimate the value. For purpose of this disclosure, the fair value of a financial instrument is the amount at which the instrument could be exchanged in a current transaction between willing parties, other than in a forced sale of liquidation.
Property and Equipment
Property and equipment are recorded at cost. Depreciation is provided for over the estimated useful lives of the respective assets using the straight-line method for financial reporting purposes and for income tax purposes. Amortization of the leasehold improvements is provided for on the straight-line method over the term of the lease. Maintenance, repairs and minor renewals are charged to expense as incurred while expenditures that materially increase values, change capacities, or extend useful lives are capitalized.
Concentration of Credit Risk
A significant portion of the Company’s sales have been to several large customers and, as such, the Company is directly affected by the well-being of those customers. However, the credit risk associated with trade receivables is minimal due to the significant size of the Company’s customers and the Company’s ongoing efforts to monitor the credit worthiness of its customers.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
The Company does not expect that the adoption of other recent accounting pronouncements will have a material impact to its financial statements.
NOTE 3 – NOTE PAYABLE TO RELATED PARTY
During 2004, the Company issued a note payable in the amount of $5,000 to an officer and director, who is also a shareholder of the Company. These funds were used for working capital. The note bears no interest and is due upon demand. As of June 30, 2005 the principle balance was $2,054.
NOTE 4 – COMMON STOCK
In August of 2004 the Company issued 10,000 shares of common stock for value at $.50 per share for cash in the amount of $5,000.
In November of 2004 the Company effected a 5 for 1 forward stock split whereby the shareholders received five shares of the Company’s common stock for every one share of common stock. Immediately prior to the stock split the Company had 510,000 shares of stock outstanding and immediately after the stock split the Company had 2,550,000 shares outstanding.
In December of 2004 the Company issued 198,000 post split common shares valued at $.10 per share for $20,000 cash.
In January of 2005 one of the founders of the Company voluntarily cancelled 1,500,000 shares of common stock that had previously been issued.
NOTE 5 – ACQUISITION OF E-RENTER USA LTD., INC.
In November of 2004 the Company issued 4,000,000 post split common shares to acquire all of the outstanding shares of E-Renter USA Ltd., Inc. At the time of the acquisition, E-Renter USA, Ltd., Inc. had no significant assets or operations.
NOTE 6 – INCOME TAXES
The Company incurred income tax expense of $1,487 for the year ended June 30, 2005. The Company utilized a net operating loss carryforward for the previous year in the amount of $6,662. This carryforward was used to reduce the taxable income of the Company for the year ended June 30, 2005.
There were no other temporary differences between “taxable” income for federal income tax purposes and net income for financial statements purposes. There was no net deferred tax asset carry forward from tax net operating loss of the previous year. Since this deferred tax asset was not carried forward and there are no temporary differences between taxable income for federal income tax purposes and net income under generally accepted accounting principles, there are no deferred tax assets or liabilities recognized in the financial statements.

Interest of Named Experts and Counsel
Our financial statements for the year ended June 30, 2005 and the interim statements for the period ending October 31 , 2005 (prepared by management) contained in this prospectus have been audited and reviewed as of June 30, 2005 and October 31 , 2005 respectively by Madsen & Associates, registered independent Certified Public Accountants, to the extent set forth in their report, and are set forth in this prospectus in reliance upon such report given upon their authority as experts in auditing and accounting. Madsen & Associates does not own any interest in us.
The validity of the common stock offered hereby will be passed upon for us by our independent legal counsel, Joseph I. Emas, Esq., 1224 Washington Avenue, Miami Beach, Florida.
Management’s Discussion and Analysis or Plan of Operation
Growth of our business has been steady . We have recorded an average increase in sales since January 1, 2005 of over 10% per month In order to more easily track this progress we submit the following milestones:
·
January 2005 sales – $9,866; February – $11,116; our first employee was hired; March – $20,522 , April - $ 2 3,610, May – $24,525 , June – $27,557 , July $29,395, August 33,124, September , $29,506 and October, 31,477. Management has confirmed that although continued growth could be self financed through cash flow, growth would necessarily be slower and the need for additional financing becomes more evident.
·
·
A new service and website was developedwww.CriminalData.com In today’s business climate background checks on potential employees has become more and more important. Employers will have rapid, accurate background information on potential employees at a very reasonable cost in a matter of minutes. We believe this service has the potential to be much larger than the tenant checks currently available. Promotion and sales of this product will begin if and when funds are available.
In general terms our sales/costs analysis is as follows:
Cost of reports – approximately 30% of sales price. Gross profit – 70%.
Less: online advertising and promotion -35%
office rent, salaries and benefits*- 25%
Net profit before taxes
10%.
* These expenses will increase, though not necessarily in a straight line as sales grow, more employees are hired, more space is required and more computer and office equipment is needed.

Item 28. Undertakings
The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes:
(a) Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the registrant pursuant to the provisions described under Item 14 above, or otherwise, the registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act of 1933 and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act of 1933 and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
(b) The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes:
(1) To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective
amendment to this Registration Statement;
(2) To include any prospectus required by section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act of 1933;
(3) To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of the
Registration Statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually, or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in the Registration Statement; notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than a 20% change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the "Calculation of Registration Fee" table in the effective Registration Statement; and
(4) To include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not
previously disclosed in the Registration Statement or any material change to such information in the Registration Statement
(i) That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act of
1933, each post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new Registration Statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof; and
(ii) To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the Offering.
(c) The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each filing of the registrant's annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (and, where applicable, each filing of an employee benefit plan's annual report pursuant to Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) that is incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement shall be deemed to be a new Registration Statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
