ELECTRIC MOTO CORPORATION
11,960,000 SELLING SECURITY HOLDER SHARES OF COMMON STOCK
5,460,000 SHARES OF COMMON STOCK ISSUABLE IN CONNECTION WITH
CONVERSION OF OPTIONS
Our selling security holders are offering to sell 11,960,000 shares of our common stock and 5,460,000 shares of our common stock issuable in connection with their conversion of our options. Our shares of common stock are not listed on any stock exchange duly authorized and regulated by foreign or domestic law. The selling stockholders may sell their common stock at a fixed price of $.03 per share until our shares are quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board and thereafter at prevailing market prices or privately negotiated prices. We have agreed to bear the expenses relating to the registration of the shares for the selling security holders.
THE SECURITIES OFFERED IN THIS PROSPECTUS INVOLVE A HIGH DEGREE OF RISK. YOU SHOULD CAREFULLY CONSIDER THE FACTORS DESCRIBED UNDER THE HEADING “RISK FACTORS” BEGINNING ON PAGE 4.
Neither the Securities and Exchange Commission nor any state securities commission has approved or disapproved of these securities or passed upon the adequacy or accuracy of this prospectus. Any representation to the contrary is a criminal offense.
Our common stock will be penny stock; therefore, trading in our securities is subject to penny stock considerations. Broker-dealer practices in connection with transactions in “penny stocks” are regulated by certain penny stock rules adopted by the Securities and Exchange Commission. Penny stocks generally are 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). Penny stock rules require a broker-dealer, prior to a transaction in a penny stock not otherwise exempt from the rules, to deliver a standardized risk disclosure document that provides information about penny stocks and the risks in the penny stock market. The broker-dealer also must provide the customer with current bid and offer quotations for the penny stock, the compensation of the broker-dealer and its salesperson in the transaction, and monthly account statements showing the market value of each penny stock held in the customer’s account. The broker-dealer must also make a special written determination that the penny stock is a suitable investment for the purchaser and receive the purchaser’s written agreement to the transaction. These requirements may have the effect of reducing the level of trading activity, if any, in the secondary market for a security that becomes subject to the penny stock rules.
The date of this prospectus is November 8, 2005

HOW WE ARE ORGANIZED AND OUR OPERATIONS
We were originally incorporated under the laws of the State of Nevada on March 7, 2000 under the name “Dorado Capital Ventures, Inc.” From our origination until March 27, 2004, we have not had any operations while looking for a suitable business strategy to implement. Effective April 8, 2004 we entered into an asset purchase agreement with Ely Schless d/ba Electric Moto, a sole proprietorship whereby we purchased the assets and assumed the liabilities of Electric Moto in exchange for 20,000,000 shares of our common stock. Subsequent to the issuance of these common shares Ely Schless owns approximately 80% of the issued and outstanding shares of our common stock. The transaction was accounted for as a recapitalization . We issued common shares in exchange for the net assets of Electric Moto totaling $84,958. On July 27, 2004, our corporate name was changed to "Electric Moto Corporation." The purpose of the merger was to facilitate the going-public process of Electric Moto and provide Dorado Capital Ventures, Inc. with a business strategy. Prior to the merger, Electric Moto was a sole proprietorship. The merger enabled Electric Moto to (i) reorganize its operations in corporate form; and, (ii) acquire a shareholder base with which to go public.
We currently have only two employees, and we are controlled by a majority shareholder, Ely Schless, who is also an officer and director. Mr. Schless beneficially owns 61% of our outstanding stock. Our auditors have issued a going concern qualification in their opinion letter. In addition, our accumulated deficit as of June 30, 2005 is $582,951.
We design, manufacture, distribute and sell recreational and special purpose electric and hybrid vehicles throughout the world. We design vehicles that are:
| • | Energy Efficient |
| • | Practical |
| • | Environmentally friendly (quiet and non-polluting) |
| • | Suitable for recreational, military and homeland security applications. |

WHERE YOU CAN FIND US
We are located at 3165 East Main Street, Ashland, Oregon 97520. Our telephone number is (541) 890-3481.
Our internet address is http://www.electricmoto.com. The majority of information on this website is promotional and is thus not disclosed in nor should be deemed a part of this registration statement. The information on our website has not been reviewed by the SEC.
An investment in our common stock is highly speculative and involves a high degree of risk. Therefore, you should consider all of the risk factors discussed below, as well as the other information contained in this document. You should not invest in our common stock unless you can afford to lose your entire investment and you are not dependent on the funds you are investing. Material risks related to our business are disclosed in this section. Please note that throughout this prospectus, the words “we”, “our” or “us” refer to Electric Moto Corporation and not to the selling shareholders.
RISKS RELATED TO OUR COMPANY
WE HAVE A LIMITED OPERATING HISTORY THAT YOU CAN USE TO EVALUATE US, AND THE LIKELIHOOD OF OUR SUCCESS MUST BE CONSIDERED IN LIGHT OF THE PROBLEMS, EXPENSES, DIFFICULTIES, COMPLICATIONS AND DELAYS FREQUENTLY ENCOUNTERED BY A SMALL DEVELOPING COMPANY.
We were incorporated in Nevada in March of 2000. We have no significant assets or financial resources. The likelihood of our success must be considered in light of the problems, expenses, difficulties, complications and delays frequently encountered by a small developing company starting a new business enterprise and the highly competitive environment in which we will operate. Since we have a limited operating history of marketing our products, we cannot assure you that our business will be profitable or that we will ever generate sufficient revenues to meet our expenses and support our anticipated activities.
WE HAVE A HISTORY OF OPERATING LOSSES AND THERE CAN BE NO ASSURANCES WE WILL BE PROFITABLE IN THE FUTURE.
We have a history of operating losses, expect to continue to incur losses, and may not be profitable in the near future. We had net losses attributable to common shareholders of $369,005 for the twelve months ended December 31, 2004 and net losses of $37,289 for our fiscal year ended in December 31, 2003. We intend to continue to fund operations through additional debt and equity financing arrangements that may not be sufficient to fund our capital expenditures, working capital, and other cash requirements for the year ending December 31, 2005. The successful outcome of future financing activities cannot be determined at this time and there are no assurances that if achieved, we will have sufficient funds to execute our intended business plan or generate positive operational results.
WE WILL REQUIRE FINANCING TO ACHIEVE OUR CURRENT BUSINESS STRATEGY AND OUR INABILITY TO OBTAIN SUCH FINANCING COULD PROHIBIT US FROM EXECUTING OUR BUSINESS PLAN AND CAUSE US TO SLOW DOWN OUR EXPANSION OF OPERATIONS.
We will need to raise additional funds through public or private debt or sale of equity to achieve our current business strategy. Such financing may not be available when needed. Even if such financing is available, it may be on terms that are materially adverse to your interests with respect to dilution of book value, dividend preferences, liquidation preferences, or other terms. Our capital requirements to implement our business strategy will be significant. We will need a minimum of $20,000 to commence our planned operations over the next twelve months and we anticipate requiring additional funds in order to significantly expand our operations once we commence them. No assurance can be given that such funds will be available or, if available, will be on commercially reasonable terms satisfactory to us. There can be no assurance that we will be able to obtain financing if and when it is needed on terms we deem acceptable.
If we are unable to obtain financing on reasonable terms, we could be forced to delay or scale back our plans for expansion. In addition, such inability to obtain financing on reasonable terms could have a material adverse effect on our business, operating results, or financial condition.
ELY SCHLESS, ONE OF OUR DIRECTORS AND SOLE OFFICER, CONTROLS APPROXIMATELY 61% OF OUR ISSUED AND OUTSTANDING SHARES AND, THEREFORE, CAN CONTROL ALL SHAREHOLDER DECISIONS RESULTING IN THE REMAINDER OF OUR SHAREHOLDERS HAVING NO CONTROL OVER OUR CORPORATE ACTIONS
Ely Schless, our officer and director, beneficially owns approximately 61% of our issued and outstanding shares. Therefore, Mr. Schless will be in a position to exert actual or effective control over our business and operations, including the election of all of our directors and approval of significant corporate transactions. The remainder of our shareholders will have no control over our corporate actions.
THE LIMITED AMOUNT OF CASH IN OUR BANK ACCOUNT COULD RESULT IN THE CESSATION OF OUR OPERATIONS DUE TO OUR POSSIBLE INABILITY TO PAY OUR EMPLOYEES’ SALARIES AND ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE ON A TIMELY BASIS
As of June 30, 2005, we had a cash balance of only $7,286. There are numerous negative ramifications to having limited cash on hand. Specifically, this could cause us to lose our employees for failure to pay salaries on a timely basis. In addition, we might not be able to pay our accounts payable. This may result in lawsuits.
IF WE FAIL TO ESTABLISH A LARGE ENOUGH MARKET FOR OUR PRODUCTS, WE COULD GO OUT OF BUSINESS
Although to date the market for our products has been sufficient to meet our limited ability to produce products, our business plan calls for a significant increase in our ability to produce products to meet anticipated demand from expanded marketing efforts. There is no assurance that such a demand exists and a failure of the demand to materialize in light of our increased expenses in ramping up production could cause us to run out of money and cease operations.
ENERGY PRICES COULD FALL WHICH COULD LOWER DEMAND FOR OUR PRODUCTS
Energy efficient and alternative energy products tend to become more attractive to the market with increased oil prices. There is no assurance that oil prices will continue to be as high as they are today and a significant reduction in the price of oil could lessen the desirability of our products to consumers.
A REDUCTION IN ENVIRONMENTAL CONCERNS COULD NEGATIVELY AFFECT OUR MARKET
Our products enjoy an advantage over similar products powered by gasoline due to the perception that electric products are less harmful to the environment than those that operate on gasoline. . Should trends reverse and should concerns about noise and air pollution relax instead of increase, the market for our products could diminish significantly.
WE MAY LOSE BUSINESS IF MAJOR MANUFACTURERS DECIDE TO ENTER OUR MARKET IN DIRECT COMPETITION WITH US
Major manufacturers may decide to enter our market. Currently, this is not a direction any manufacturers have chosen to pursue, but they already have a customer base and dealer network in the recreational vehicle market. As a result it would not be difficult for them to enter the market should they decide to. To date, this has not been their direction but that could change without notice in the future. Should market demand in this niche grow sufficiently it is more likely that this will occur.
WE HAVE NO PATENT OR OTHER INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY PROTECTION FOR OUR PRODUCTS.
Currently, we have not applied for any intellectual property protections for out products. Accordingly, another entity could begin to produce and market products similar or identical to those that we currently offer, This potential increased competition will impact our revenues in a negative manner.
IF ELY SCHLESS IS NO LONGER IN HIS PRESENT POSITIONS, IT WILL BE DIFFICULT TO REPLACE HIM WITH PERSON(S) OF HIS EXPERIENCE RESULTING IN THE POSSIBLE CESSATION OF OUR BUSINESS OR, AT A MINIMUM, THE DELAY IN CARRYING OUT OUR BUSINESS PLAN
Ely Schless, our senior executive is important to our success. He has significant experience in the manufacturing and product development aspects of our specific business. If he becomes unable or unwilling to continue in his present positions, we will be forced to seek replacements with the same or similar experience. Our failure to find such an individual can result in the cessation of our business or the delay in carrying out our business plan.
OUR COMPETITION IS SUPERIOR TO US IN BOTH EXPERIENCE AND RESOURCES.
Our competitors, mainly Japanese firms, have established secure positions and reputable brand names in the motocross industry. They have significantly larger capital resources to devote to the electric and hybrid motocross markets if they so choose. Such experience, brand recognition and capital resources put us at a competitive disadvantage.
WE RELY HEAVILY ON OUR SUPPLIERS FOR KEY COMPONENTS OF OUR PRODUCTS.
Our products are assembled both from components that we manufacture in-house and from vendor supplied components. A disruption in the supply of vendor supplied components will impact our ability to manufacture our products in a timely fashion and therefore cause us to fail to meet customer demand. Further, failure to receive components from our vendors would force the Company to seek replacement components from alternative vendors who may not provide such replacement components on terms similar to our current providers. If the cost of substitute components are greater than our current costs, our profit margins will be negatively impacted. In the event that substitute components can be located on a timely basis or at all, such disruption could cause us to cease operations for an extended period of time or completely.
RISKS RELATING TO OUR STOCK
THE OFFERING PRICE OF THE SHARES WAS ARBITRARILY DETERMINED, AND THEREFORE SHOULD NOT BE USED AS AN INDICATOR OF THE FUTURE MARKET PRICE OF THE SECURITIES. THEREFORE, THE OFFERING PRICE BEARS NO RELATIONSHIP TO THE ACTUAL VALUE OF THE COMPANY, AND MAY MAKE OUR SHARES DIFFICULT TO SELL.
Since our shares are not listed or quoted on any exchange or quotation system, the offering price of $.03 for the shares of common stock was arbitrarily determined. The facts considered in determining the offering price were our financial condition and prospects, our limited operating history and the general condition of the securities market. The offering price is not an indication of and is not based upon the actual value of Elite Cosmetics, Inc. The offering price bears no relationship to the book value, assets or earnings of our company or any other recognized criteria of value. The offering price should not be regarded as an indicator of the future market price of the securities.
THERE IS NO ASSURANCE OF A PUBLIC MARKET FOR OUR STOCK OR THAT OUR COMMON STOCK WILL EVER TRADE ON A RECOGNIZED EXCHANGE. THEREFORE, YOU MAY BE UNABLE TO LIQUIDATE YOUR INVESTMENT IN OUR STOCK.
There is no established public trading market for our securities. Our shares are not and have not been listed or quoted on any exchange or quotation system.
There can be no assurance that a market maker will agree to file the necessary documents with the National Association of Securities Dealers, which operates the OTC Electronic Bulletin Board, nor can there be any assurance that such an application for quotation will be approved or that a regular trading market will develop or that if developed, will be sustained. In the absence of a trading market, an investor may be unable to liquidate their investment.
WE DO NOT EXPECT TO PAY DIVIDENDS AND INVESTORS SHOULD NOT BUY OUR COMMON STOCK EXPECTING TO RECEIVE DIVIDENDS.
We have not paid any dividends on our common stock in the past, and do not anticipate that we will declare or pay any dividends in the foreseeable future. Consequently, you will only realize an economic gain on your investment in our common stock if the price appreciates. You should not purchase our common stock expecting to receive cash dividends. Since we do not pay dividends, and if we are not successful in having our shares listed or quoted on any exchange or quotation system, then you may not have any manner to liquidate or receive any payment on your investment. Therefore our failure to pay dividends may cause you to not see any return on your investment even if we are successful in our business operations. In addition, because we do not pay dividends we may have trouble raising additional funds which could affect our ability to expand out business operations.
OUR COMMON STOCK IS CONSIDERED A PENNY STOCK, WHICH IS SUBJECT TO RESTRICTIONS ON MARKETABILITY, SO YOU MAY NOT BE ABLE TO SELL YOUR SHARES.
If our common stock becomes tradable in the secondary market, we will be subject to the penny stock rules adopted by the Securities and Exchange Commission that require brokers to provide extensive disclosure to their customers prior to executing trades in penny stocks. These disclosure requirements may cause a reduction in the trading activity of our common stock, which in all likelihood would make it difficult for our shareholders to sell their securities.
The selling stockholders are selling shares of common stock covered by this prospectus for their own account. We will not receive any of the proceeds from the resale of these shares. We have agreed to bear the expenses relating to the registration of the shares for the selling security holders.
DETERMINATION OF OFFERING PRICE
The initial public offering price of the shares of our common stock based on the registration fee of $.03 has been determined based on a recent private placement of $.03 per share. It does not necessarily bear any relationship to our book value, assets, past operating results, financial condition or any other established criteria of value. Although our common stock is not listed on a public exchange, we will be filing to obtain a quotation on the OTC Bulletin Board concurrently with the filing of this prospectus. However, there is no assurance that our common stock, once it becomes publicly quoted or listed, will trade at market prices in excess of the initial public offering price of $.03 as prices for the common stock in any public market which may develop will be determined by the market and may be influenced by many factors, including the depth and liquidity of the market for the common stock, investor perception of us, and general economic and market conditions. There is also no assurance that our stock will ever be publicly quoted or listed.
Our common stock is not currently traded on any stock exchange duly authorized and regulated by foreign or domestic law. There is no current public trading market for our shares of common stock. After this Registration Statement becomes effective, we intend to apply for a quotation on the OTC Bulletin Board. While we intend to take needed action to qualify our common shares for quotation on the OTC Bulletin Board, there is no assurance that we can satisfy the current listing standards.
As of November 7, 2005, based on our transfer agent records, we had 42 shareholders holding an aggregate of 32,800,000 shares of our common stock.
As of November 7, 2005, we had 7,560,000 options outstanding convertible into 7,560,000 shares of our common stock.
As of November 7, 2005, we had 27,410,000 shares that were eligible to be sold under Rule 144 of the 1933 Securities Act. 20,000,000 of such shares are owned by Ely Schless, our officer and director, and 310,000 are held by Dennis Knepp, our director.
EQUITY COMPENSATION PLAN INFORMATION
The following table sets forth certain information as of November 7, 2005, with respect to compensation plans under which our equity securities are authorized for issuance:
| (a) | (b) | (c) |
| _________________ | _________________ | _________________ |

plans approved by | | | |
security holders | | | |
| | | |
Equity compensation | None | | |
plans not approved | | | |

Total | None | | |
DIVIDENDS
We have never paid a cash dividend on our common stock. It is our present policy to retain earnings, if any, to finance the development and growth of our business. Accordingly, we do not anticipate that cash dividends will be paid until our earnings and financial condition justify such dividends. There can be no assurance that we can achieve such earnings.
PENNY STOCK CONSIDERATIONS
Trading in our securities is subject to the “penny stock” rules. The SEC has adopted regulations that generally define a penny stock to be any equity security that has a market price of less than $5.00 per share, subject to certain exceptions. These rules require that any broker-dealer who recommends our securities to persons other than prior customers and accredited investors, must, prior to the sale, make a special written suitability determination for the purchaser and receive the purchaser’s written agreement to execute the transaction. Unless an exception is available, the regulations require the delivery, prior to any transaction involving a penny stock, of a disclosure schedule explaining the penny stock market and the risks associated with trading in the penny stock market. In addition, broker-dealers must disclose commissions payable to both the broker-dealer and the registered representative and current quotations for the securities they offer. The additional burdens imposed upon broker- dealers by such requirements may discourage broker-dealers from effecting transactions in our securities, which could severely limit their market price and liquidity of our securities. Broker- dealers who sell penny stocks to certain types of investors are required to comply with the Commission’s regulations concerning the transfer of penny stocks. These regulations require broker- dealers to:
- Make a suitability determination prior to selling a penny stock to the purchaser;
- Receive the purchaser’s written consent to the transaction; and
- Provide certain written disclosures to the purchaser.
These requirements may restrict the ability of broker-dealers to sell our common stock and may affect your ability to resell our common stock.
We have agreed to indemnify each of our directors and certain officers against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act of 1933. Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to our directors, officers and controlling persons pursuant to the provisions described above, or otherwise, we have 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 our payment of expenses incurred or paid by our director, officer or controlling person 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, we will, unless in the opinion of our counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
Unless the context otherwise requires, references to “Company”, “Electric Moto”, “we”, or “our”, mean Electric Moto Corporation.
We were originally incorporated under the laws of the State of Nevada on March 7, 2000 under the name "Dorado Capital Ventures, Inc."

The transaction was accounted for as a recapitalization . We issued common shares in exchange for the net assets of Electric Moto totaling $84,958. On July 27, 2004, our corporate name was changed to "Electric Moto Corporation."

OVERVIEW
We are a vehicle manufacturer engaged in the sales of low environmental impact recreational vehicles, such as motorcycles and all-terrain vehicles (ATVs). Our products target existing buyers and dealers. We rely on our development and manufacturing expertise and technologies to respond to new, cleaner vehicle and land-use mandates. Growing environmental restrictions are also creating more efficient vehicle components, such as batteries, motors and control electronics, which we exploit and integrate into vehicle platforms that perform like gas powered vehicles, but require less fuel and create lower emissions.
Our operations include chassis and component manufacturing, serial production, assembly, marketing and distribution of vehicles.
Our primary objective is to utilize vehicle production and sales to build cash flow and increase earnings per share. We envision our industry today much like the health food industry in recent decades; where the early pioneers established brand loyalty in markets previously ignored by the larger mainstream companies. Our ability to cost-effectively produce low environmental impact vehicles is based on our understanding of electronic drive systems and how they best package on modern vehicle platforms.
We seek to build shareholder value by increasing our sales via the development of an extensive distribution network in the US and in Europe, focusing on existing motorcycle and power sports dealerships. Previously we have sold our vehicles exclusively over the Internet, which limited our exposure to those with web access.
In September of 2004, we decided to expand our product line from pure electric vehicles to include hybrid vehicles, which combine the efficiencies and clean operation of electric vehicles with the longer-range capabilities of a gas engine. To date, we have developed two working prototypes of a hybrid drive system, that we are calling the iHybrid System; however, we have not completed our development or intellectual property protection for these intended additions to our product line. These products were integrated utilizing existing drive and power system components from our Blade product, and integrated into existing vehicle platforms. Additionally, there was only limited documentation and testing performed on these 2 test mules. As a result, these future additions to our product line have not, to date, impacted our development budget or business operations. Once development is complete, we intend to expand the marketing of our hybrid drive systems, which have mainstream applications including snowmobiles, watercraft and highway-use as commuter vehicles.
Presently the our operations entail manufacturing and direct sales of electric off-road vehicles. There is currently one production model, an off-highway use cycle called The Blade T-6, which is marketed via the Internet at http://www.electricmoto.com. Blades are manufactured in house by Mr. Schless, our only employee. Manufacturing operations performed by Mr. Schless include computer aided design and manufacturing (CAD/CAM), tube frame fabrication, plastic forming tools and parts, electrical harness fabrication and final assembly onto a shipping pallet.
Blades are produced by Mr. Schless in a serial production run of 20 to 25 units. Only 15 to 20% of manufactured vehicle cost is comprised of in-house manufactured components, so serial production of frames and plastic parts can be performed at minimal initial cost to us as production operations are primarily in the form of labor performed by Mr. Schless, who also serves in an executive and administrative capacity for the Company.
To further minimize the capital expenditure associated with manufacturing Blades, final assembly and purchase of non-proprietary vendor produced components such as batteries, motors and electronic controls, are initiated only when a 50% deposit is received from a buyer. Our basic business model assumes that the retail price of the Blade is approximately twice our cost of manufacture,(excluding sales, general and accounting (S,G&A)) and shipping costs.
We foresee that our growth is dependent on capitalization. Previously we have not had sufficient capital to enjoy the benefits of volume production. Additionally, the price of oil may be considered a factor in the our future, as are various government mandates concerning both vehicle emissions and OHV (off-highway vehicle) land access.
Our independent auditor has expressed substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. The notes to our financial statements include an explanatory paragraph expressing substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. The reason cited in the notes as raising substantial doubt as to our ability to continue as a going concern is that we do not have sufficient working capital to fund our operations. Our ability to continue as a going concern is contingent upon our ability to attain profitable operations by securing financing and implementing our business plan.
BUSINESS STRATEGY
Our business strategy is to provide growth through the development of product distribution networks, both in the US and Europe. Additionally we plan to increase our ability to produce more vehicles in less time by increasing our staff and outsourcing where practical. As we currently do not have a distribution system presently assembled, the development of such will be critical to our viability as a business and accordingly a necessary component of our strategy in the near future.
Some of the additional key points are as follows:
| • | Develop, through a strategic alliance or an exclusive distributorship agreement, a distribution system in Europe. This would entail an agreement with a European company that would agree to assemble and distribute our products at its expense in return for the exclusive rights to the European market. |
| • | Continue development and improvement of our hybrid systems both in terms of efficiency and cost. |
| • | By the end of 2005, we intend to have established at least three distributorships who will be recruiting dealers to sell the Blade and iHybrid products in their regions. Our focus will then be directed toward expanding our manufacturing capabilities along with continuing to develop new state-of-the-art models to accommodate the rapidly evolving advanced battery and fuel cell technologies as they become viable in the marketplace. |
CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Revenue Recognition
In general, we record revenue when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, services have been rendered or product delivery has occurred, the sales price to the customer is fixed or determinable, and collectability is reasonably assured. The following policies reflect specific criteria for our various revenues streams:
Revenue is recognized at the time the product is delivered. At present, based on the volume of revenues, we do not assess returns of products, levels of inventory in the distribution channel, and expected introductions of new products that may result in larger then expected returns of current products.
Return Policy and Warranties
Our Blade is assembled both from components that we manufacture in-house and from vendor supplied components. Our return policy states that the frame only is conditionally warranted for a period of one year after the delivery date of the cycle, with the condition stipulated that a manufactured defect exists, based on our judgment,. Due to the nature of our product, which is intended for off-road use, we have adopted this policy which is typical in situations where an off-highway-use recreational vehicle manufacturer cannot control the environment or terrain in which the vehicle is operated. This limits our liability with respect to returns to the extent that it is not material to our accounting at present sales levels. In the event that a large number of frames were defectively manufactured, we would have to re-assess the financial impact on our business, but in most cases, the cost is likely mitigated because the frames are manufactured in-house, using a proven design and manufacturing processes. To date, we have never replaced a frame or had any returned products, and as such, have not considered this material to our business.
Vendor supplied components, such as motors, batteries and electronics each have their own specific warranties, with terms varying from vendor to vendor. For instance, the battery manufacturer pro-rates the battery cost over a one-year time period, the motor controller manufacturer provides a one-year unlimited warranty. But in any case, vendor-supplied component returns are referred to the vendor. While we may assist the customer or serve as a liaison to the vendor in the interest of good business practice, we make no claims to warranty vendor-supplied components used in our product. This policy is similar to that which is used by automotive manufacturers, who rely on their tire supplier’s warranty.
Stock-Based Compensation
We account for equity instruments issued to employees for services based on the fair value of the equity instruments issued and account for equity instruments issued to other than employees based on the fair value of the consideration received or the fair value of the equity instruments, whichever is more reliably measurable.
We account for stock based compensation in accordance with SFAS 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation.” The provisions of SFAS 123 allow companies to either expense the estimated fair value of stock options or to continue to follow the intrinsic value method set forth in APB Opinion 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees” (APB 25) but disclose the pro forma effects on net income (loss) had the fair value of the options been expensed. We have elected to continue to apply APB 25 in accounting for our stock option incentive plans.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2004 COMPARED TO YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2003
Gross Revenues
Gross revenues through December of 2004 were $68,225, compared to $65,454 as of December 2003. This increase of $2,771 was directly related to an increase in an increase in sales. Traditionally, we revert to product development when production slows, as it is less capital intensive, relying mainly on our intellectual capacity to improvise new solutions to production and product challenges. Hence, the development of the hybrid system during the last quarter of 2004 was implemented to fill the gap in capital available for production. The development of the hybrid system has not yet impacted our revenues.
Total Expenses
Our Selling, General, and Administrative expenses for fiscal year end 2003 and 2004 were $44,022 and $391,002 respectively. This increase of $346,980 from 2003 to 2004 was directly related to an increase in non-cash stock compensation of $285,360. We also incurred expenses of $105,642 related to increases in salary expenses and professional fees. We do expect our total expenses to increase as we expand our staff to meet new sales and production goals. However, we do not expect to require significant expenditures for equipment as our current plant has capabilities commensurate with projected production for the near future. We currently have no material commitments for capital expenditures. Product expansion into the hybrid system has not materially impacted our expenses. (Our Cost of Sales decreased from $58,721 in 2003 to $46,228 in 2004.)
Net Income
We had net losses of $369,005 for fiscal year ended December 31, 2004 and net losses of $37,289 for our fiscal year ended in December 31, 2003.
SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2005 COMPARED TO SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2004
Gross Revenues
Gross revenues increased from $23,412 for the six months ended June 30, 2004 to $44,049 for the six months ended June 30, 2005, an increase of $20,637. This increase is due to our strategy of developing a European distribution network to relieve our officers and employees of sales duties. As a result, orders for the Blade increased and we have been able to meet such increased demand, thus increasing our gross revenues.
Total Expenses
Total expenses increased from $44,572 for the six months ended June 30, 2004 to $254,862 for the six months ended June 30, 2005, an increase of $210,290. Of this increase, $200,000 was attributable to non-cash stock compensation paid during the six-months ending June 30, 2005 that was not paid during the six-month period ending June 30, 2004. Also, we incurred an increase in other general and administrative expenses of $10,290 during the six-month period ending June 30, 2005 compared to the period ending June 30, 2004. This increase was due to an increase in professional fees related to the going-public process as well as an increase in rental fees related to our new production facilities.
Our Cost of Sales increased from $23,304 for the six-month period ending June 30, 2004 to $25,250 during the six-month period ending June 30, 2005. This increase of $1,946 is attributable to an increase in the number of products sold during the six-month period ending June 30, 2005. Also, as a result of the larger facility and subsequent manufacturing improvements our production costs per each Blade sold decreased while total sales increased.
Net Loss From Operations
For the six months ended June 30, 2005 we had net loss from operations of $236,063 compared to net loss of $44,464 for the six months ended June 30, 2004.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
From our inception to December 31, 2004, we incurred operating losses of $356,888 ($285,360 of this loss was from non-cash stock based compensation expense) and at December 31, 2004, we had a net working capital of $36,494. Net cash used in operating activities for the period from January 1, 2003 to December 31, 2004 was $98,997. For the six-months ended June 30, 2005 we incurred operating losses of $236,063 ($200,000 of this loss was from non-case stock based compensation expense) and at June 30, 2005, we had net working capital of $431. Net cash used in operating activites for the period from January 1, 2005 to June 30, 2005 was $20,677. We funded these needs primarily through the private sale of common stock. We have no internal sources of liquidity, and sales of our product provide our only external source of liquidity.
As a result of the above, as of December 31, 2004, we had a cash position of approximately $25,985. As of June 30, 2005, we had a cash position of $7,286.
Currently we are still delivering bikes. This is our primary source of revenue. As of the date of this registration statement, we have completed 13 bikes that can be sold without further expenditure of cash. One bike sale (net proceeds of $6,500 in cash) will maintain 8 weeks of operation at our current levels.
We do not have sufficient cash available to satisfy the cash requirements to execute our business plan over the next year based upon our current rate of expenses. Our current minimum cash requirement per month is $2,900. Our current cash position will afford us 8 months of operation. Each bike sold will extend this timeframe accordingly. This calculation does not include production expenses for inventory replenishment. We will need an additional minimum of $1,000,000 to finance our planned expansion, which funds will be used for product development, manufacturing and personnel. In order to become profitable, we may still need to secure additional debt or equity funding. We have no source of funding identified. Our failure to secure additional funds would impair and delay our ability to implement our business plan.
We intend on raising the additional capital required through the sale of stock either through private sales or the exercise of existing options. If we do not secure the required funding, we may not be able to achieve our growth objectives within the anticipated time period, if at all. We believe that future plans will be achieved if we receive the necessary funding. Furthermore, in the event that the level of funding is less that we have anticipated, this may also result in a delay in our ability to generate revenues or a reduced amount of revenues being generated.
All initial expenses relating to this offering, including attorney’s and accountants fees, totaling $50,000, have been paid.
PLAN OF OPERATIONS FOR NEXT TWELVE MONTHS
As of this filing, we have purchased the raw materials (metal) for 50 Blade chassis’ that we expect to be completed and ready for assembly by early first quarter (February) of 2006. We do not foresee the need for any new employees as Mr. Schless will be performing the various manufacturing operations on these proprietary components. We intend to ship these 50 chassis to Europe in February for final assembly and ultimately distribution by Nils Wiklund who is promoting and selling Blade cycles in Europe to potential dealers.. It is herein noted that the capital required to complete these cycles will be supplied by Mr. Wiklund. In this sense, we are simply supplying the chassis for these cycles.
Mr. Schless will be attending the Milan Motorcycle Show on November 15 through November 18 as a representative for the Company. The Blade will be on display at this show in a booth. All exhibition expenses for this show are being paid for by Mr. Wiklund. Additionally, Mr. Schless and Mr. Wiklund will meet with the president of Scorpa, a French motorcycle manufacturer, at this show, with the intent of establishing a business relationship. Scorpa has expressed an interest in forming a co-operation with Electric Moto, wherein Mr. Schless will provide his technical expertise to help Scorpa develop an electric powered specialty trials motorcycle. In exchange for Mr. Schless’ design work for Scorpa, Scorpa may provide an assembly facility and staff to complete final assembly of the 50 Blades in France. Alternately, if an agreement with Scorpa is not reached, the 50 Blades may be assembled in Sweden at Mr. Wiklund’s facility.
Mr. Wiklund has pre-paid $15,000 to the Company as partial payment for these 50 Blades so the Company may engage in production of these chassis. Based on previous production expenses and projected S, G &A expenses, this money should provide adequate cash flow until January 2006. At this point the Company will request another installment of $10,000 from Mr. Wiklund to cover S, G, & A expenses, which is expected to be provided to Mr. Wiklund by four distributors, collectively, that he has established whom have previously purchased Blades from Mr. Wiklund for the purpose of promoting and selling Blades in the U.K., Austria, France and Australia. It is herein disclosed that these distributors are customers of Mr. Wiklund not the Company, and as of this filing, there is no contract or formal agreement between Electric Moto Corporation and Mr. Wiklund, beyond his verbal commitment to pursue sales of Blades in Europe and Australia, and his financial stake in the early stages of the current 50 cycles production build.
It is our intent to use sales income from Mr. Wiklund’s purchase of 50 chassis to maintain S, G, &A expenses through our second quarter (June 2006). The total value, in terms of sales income from these 50 chassis sales, is approximately $63,000, based on the spreadsheet cost of ~$900 each plus 40% markup over the Company’s cost to manufacture Blades.
Any further sales income beyond our second quarter 2006 will likely be dependent on how well the Blades sells in Europe during the first half of 2006. If all 50 cycles are sold by Mr. Wiklund and there are no unforeseen obstacles to initiating another production build, we will do so, again with Mr. Wiklund’s initial pre-payment used to launch the build in July 2006. Additionally, in the event that the Company can raise capital through exercised stock options as a result of our registration becoming effective, we will use that capital to build cycles that would be fully assembled in the US for US sales through our website, as we have done previously. It should be mentioned that when the Company sells a cycle in the US it has been for retail price as there are no US distributors, and the profit margin is 100% instead of 40%, when we sell chassis only to Europe (Mr. Wiklund). But this has proven difficult in the past; the capital requirements necessary to commit to some volume build quantity, which in past we have not been able capitalize properly, requires retail US customers to pre-pay 50% so the Company can purchase the remaining vendor components.
OFF-BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS
We do not have any off-balance sheet transactions.
A SUMMARY OF WHAT WE DO
We were originally incorporated under the laws of the State of Nevada on March 7, 2000 under the name “Dorado Capital Ventures, Inc.” From our origination until March 27, 2004, we did not have any operations while looking for a suitable business strategy to implement. On March 27, 2004, we purchased all of the assets of Ely Schless doing business as Electric Moto and electricmoto.com. On July 27, 2004, our corporate name was changed to “Electric Moto Corporation.”
We design, manufacture, distribute and sell recreational and special purpose electric and hybrid vehicles throughout the world. We are leaders in designing vehicles that are:
| • | Energy Efficient |
| • | Practical |
| • | Environmentally friendly (quiet and non-polluting) |
| • | Suitable for recreational, military and homeland security applications |
Through our predecessor companies, Ely Schless doing business as both Electric Moto and Denali Cycles, we have been building and selling electric vehicles since 1995. Our products are found in the garages of professional competitors and amateurs alike. Our products have been sold to customers in the United States as well as in Europe.
In the past, we have focused primarily on recreational motorcycle markets with our “Blade” and predecessor models. Additionally we have designed and built electric motor scooters that are designed for fuel-efficient commuting in a world of growing energy costs.
Our product, the Blade T-6, is a high performance electric motocross / freestyle (stunt) motorcycle. It has been designed to appeal to top competitive riders. Its light weight (175 pounds) and high power (25 kilowatts) is designed to allow for greater flexibility both in racing and extreme sports. Additionally, the Blade is virtually silent. This allows it to be ridden in exhibitions and other areas where gas powered vehicles are prohibited because of noise or emission restrictions.
Blades are manufactured in house by Mr. Schless, our only employee. Manufacturing operations performed by Mr. Schless include computer aided design and manufacturing (CAD/CAM), tube frame fabrication, plastic forming tools and parts, electrical harness fabrication and final assembly onto a shipping pallet.
Blades are produced by Mr. Schless in a serial production run of 20 to 25 units. Only 15 to 20% of manufactured vehicle cost is comprised of in-house manufactured components, so serial production of frames and plastic parts can be performed at minimal initial cost to us as production operations are primarily in the form of labor performed by Mr. Schless, who also serves in an executive and administrative capacity for the Company..
To further minimize the capital expenditure associated with manufacturing Blades, final assembly and purchase of non-proprietary vendor produced components such as batteries, motors and electronic controls, are initiated only when a 50% deposit is received from a buyer. Our basic business model assumes that the retail price of the Blade is approximately twice our cost of manufacture,(excluding sales, general and accounting (S,G&A)) and shipping costs.
The Blade is assembled from two sources; 1) proprietary, such as the chassis (frame, wheel hubs, electrical harnesses) and 2) vendor supplied. Most of the proprietary parts are produced in-house using specialized fixtures and tooling to create the part. These proprietary parts are constructed from common, commercially available steel or aluminum stock shapes, which are formed or welded to our specific dimensions utilizing custom built jigs, tooling and fixtures.
Vendor supplied components include motors, batteries, electronics, tires, brakes, chains, bearings and general hardware (fasteners). Many of our primary vendor parts come from the golf car industry, which is a larger industry than the electric cycle industry, so there are competitive suppliers of motors and they generally require minimal lead times, which reduces our inventory requirements.
We purchase some of our vendor parts from Europe and Scandinavia, such as brakes and wheel rims from Formula in Italy, tires from Finland (Suomo), and our suspension components (forks and shocks) from Sweden (Ohlins). Because our customers are a niche of high-end motorcycle enthusiasts, it is important that we use branded components for their familiarity within the industry, prestige and promotional value.
We also have designed what we call the iHybrid drive system; an electric / gasoline powered hybrid ATV (all terrain vehicle) with potential recreational and military applications. The iHybrid drive system can propel a rider and payload for up to 6 hours of quiet (less than 59 decibels), continuous travel. The iHybrid system features a gasoline consumption rate of less than 1/2 gallon per hour and reduced heat signature due to the higher overall efficiencies of the subsystems that comprise our iHybrid drive system. We intend to market new products that incorporate the iHybrid drive system to civilian, military and law enforcement markets in the US and in Europe.
Dependence on Customers
Our business is not materially dependant on one or a few major customers. We rely on direct sales to the end user primarily.
A customer in Sweden, Nils Wiklund, has purchased fourteen Blades over the last twelve months. Mr. Wiklund is promoting and selling Blade cycles in Europe to potential dealers. As of this filing, there is no written agreement or contractual commitments between us and the customer. However, there exists a verbal agreement wherein we will sell Blades to the customer at 40% above the cost to manufacture the Blades (excluding SG&A). Although there is no present contractual agreement between us and Mr. Wiklund,, a formal agreement is desired by both parties and is the topic of an ongoing discussion.
Potential Impact of State or Federal Regulations
Our products are intended for off-highway use, where there is no governing body that sanctions or qualifies products for the market. NHTSA (National Highway Transportation and Safety Administration) regulates only the importation of a “motor vehicle,” which is defined in the controlling statute (49 U.S.C. 30102) as “a vehicle driven or drawn by mechanical power and manufactured primarily for use on public streets, roads, and highways.” Vehicles (such as racing bikes, dirt bikes, or ATV’s) that are not “primarily manufactured for on-road use” do not qualify as motor vehicles and as such are not subject the FMVSS (Federal Motor Vehicle and Safety Standards).
In the future we may produce highway-use vehicles that will need to meet federal D.O.T. standards. As we have not yet produced a prototype, we do not know if it will meet these standards. Additionally, in the event of numerous consumer complaints or actions against us, the Consumer Products Safety Commission (CPSC) could intervene and restrict our business. Our products are intended for use only on private property which minimizes our legal exposure and further mitigates the need for governmental approval of our product. The battery chargers that we provide with our product meet UL and CSA standards which are met by the manufacturer (Soneil of Canada).
In the case of our proposed new hybrid product, we have specified component suppliers that already have approvals from UL and CSA (for Canadian or European sales). Additionally, U.S. Forestry Service approved spark arrestors are specified for our hybrid generator system.
It is generally understood that electric or hybrid vehicles create lower exhaust emissions and use fuels more efficiently (in the case of a hybrid). Therefore, future and existing noise or pollution mandates could impact the market for our products.
Research and Development
Research and development, including tooling development, is an ongoing process that is mainly done during the winter month, which is considered off-season for our products. During fiscal 2004 we purchased R and D related materials and equipment totalling less than $7,500.00 and it comprised approximately 15% of our labor effort, in man-hours, or 4969.35 man-hours.. To date in fiscal 2005, we have spent less than $2,000 on R and D and do not expect further development costs until we begin production of our commercially available hybrid systems, whereupon we predict that approximately $40,000.00 will be needed to be invested in hybrid product research, for samples and testing purposes.
Cost of Compliance with Environmental Regulations
Environmental compliance requirements due to metal finishing processes are provided by our sub-vendor, Anodex in Medford, Oregon. Anodex performs metal finishing as per OSHA and EPA requirements. Thus, the cost is factored into our purchase price. Further, our in-house operations that are subject to environmental compliance are welding processes, which are subject to OSHA standards. There is currently no material cost associated with such compliance.
Full Time Employees
There are two full time employees only: Ely Schless serving in all operational and executive positions and Krista Johnson serving as secretary and office manager.

HISTORY OF OUR ELECTRIC AND HYBRID VEHICLES
The following vehicles were designed and/or manufactured built by Ely Schless as predecessors to the current Blade T-6 cycle line offered by Electric Moto Corporation. Currently they are not offered for sale.
The Viento
The Viento is an electric-powered commuter cycle with a 50 mile range that was designed for The Electric Cycle Company.
The Moto-Pro
The world’s first production off-road electric cycle.115 pounds and 12 horsepower, manufactured and sold by Denali Cycles 1995 to 2001.
The Blade 2001-2004 ( 2004 shown)
First production electric motocross bike.
22 horsepower at 165 pounds, featuring 12” travel front and rear suspension.
The Denali VE
This is a prototype of a moderate performance (5,000 Watt) 50 mile range electric commuter cycle.
The Denali TorkAtak
The world’s first limited production electric observed trials competition bike, manufactured in 1997. Five Tork Ataks were made and sold.
This vehicle was built as a proof of concept working prototype that showcases the potential of a hybrid all-terrain vehicle (ATV). Built in October 2004, it weighs 305 pounds, makes 18 horsepower, and runs for over 3 hours on one gallon of gasoline, at typical speeds of 10 to 20 mph in moderate to rough terrain. This product is currently not offered for sale.
DEVELOPMENT
In addition to continuing to evolve our Blade product, we intend to expand into hybrid-powered products based on our inverter / hybrid (“iHybrid”) drive system technology that we have recently qualified as suitable for production vehicle applications. Development is underway for hunting and military platforms for our iHybrid ATV, with the goal of having pre-production test vehicles completed in 2005.
Additionally, we intend to introduce a commuter style scooter based on the iHybrid drive system.
OPERATIONS
Presently our operations entail manufacturing and direct sales of electric off-road vehicles. There is currently one production model, an off-highway use cycle called The Blade T-6, which is marketed via the Internet at http://www.electricmoto.com. In-house manufacturing operations include computer aided design and manufacturing (CAD/CAM), tube frame fabrication, plastic forming tools and parts, electrical harness fabrication and final assembly into a boxed shipping pallet.
Blades are produced in serial production runs of 20 to 25 units. Only 15 to 20% of manufactured vehicle cost is comprised of in-house manufactured components, so serial production of frames and plastic parts can be performed at minimal initial cost to us Production operations today consist primarily of labor performed or directed by Mr. Schless, utilizing tooling and equipment acquired from the 2004 business merger.
To further minimize the capital expenditure associated with manufacturing Blades, final assembly and purchasing of vendor produced components such as batteries, motors and electronic controls, are initiated only when a 50% deposit is received from a buyer. Our basic business model assumes that the retail price of the Blade is approximately twice our cost of manufacture, (excluding sales, general and accounting (S, G&A).
MARKETING AND SALES
Demand grows annually for environmentally responsible and more fuel efficient recreational vehicles.1 See http://www.detnews.com/2005/autosinsider/0505/30/A01-197580.htm (the increase in demand for fuel efficient cars is not directly proportionate to the increase in demand for the products of Electric Moto, however we feel the increased demand for fuel efficient automobiles reflects a growing trend in society of an increased demand for vehicles of all types, including recreational vehicles, that are fuel efficient.) Noise abatement laws are being implemented on both state and local levels in addition to federal restrictions on noise pollution. As a result, more federal and state land areas have limited access for current mainstream gasoline recreational vehicles. Our Blade and proposed iHybrid vehicles provide a demonstrable valid alternative solution. We believe our products will become more attractive to consumers as gasoline prices rise or land use issues become more restrictive.
We intend to market our iHybrid vehicles to the military and for homeland security and law enforcement applications, in addition to recreational markets. We believe a vehicle that offers terrestrial stealth along with extended range may make our iHybrid ATV well suited to these applications. The ability to drive up to 6 hours using quiet (less than 60 decibels)generator assisted power, and being able to choose between silent electric or generator assisted operating modes could provide tactical advantages as well as safety in certain applications where noise or remote power capabilities are of concern.
DISTRIBUTION
Previously, we have marketed our product directly to our customers using the internet as a primary sales tool. Currently no dealers carry our product. In order to fully penetrate the market we intend to establish a global network of distributors and dealers, with a six-month goal of 3 to 5 distributorships within the US and master distributorship for Europe. Each distributor will establish a network of retail dealers within his/her area. The master distributor for Europe will establish regional distributors who will then establish a retail dealer network.
Currently, our European customer ConnecTech has been our primary distribution agent, purchasing our products as soon as they are built, We will continue with this arrangement in the near term (approximately the next six months). As our production capacity increases and our market expands, we will look to enter into a definitive distribution agreement in Europe and in the United States..
PROMOTION
Information about the electric recreational vehicle industry is already available on the Internet and our products are represented on some of the sites addressing this new industry. Our presence is under the Electric Moto name as well as under the name “Denali Cycles”, (a previous dba of our President.) Our existing visibility in this emerging industry may help facilitate our goal to solicit new distributors and dealers.
Additional promotion will be implemented through national publications and newspaper stories as well as our participation in motocross, extreme sports and recreational industry trade shows. Upon completion of a commercial version of our iHybrid ATV for military and/or hunting, we will expand our promotion to those areas as well. We have an ongoing close relationship with “X Games” Gold medal winner Caleb Wyatt, who performed the world’s first 250cc motorcycle back flip stunt in free style competition. The X Games are a nationally televised competition on ESPN featuring such “extreme sports” as motocross. Caleb will be acting as our primary spokesperson to the extreme sports market. Caleb is excited about using our Blade in upcoming Moto-X events and exploiting its power and weight advantage to develop new stunts for exhibition. In addition to his endorsement, his use of the Blade at televised events such as “The X Games “ or similar events will bring an exciting and cost effective promotional benefit. We have no formal sponsorship agreement with Mr. Wyatt at this time, however we may formalize the relationship in the future. We also intend to recruit other spokespersons to represent our product to Homeland Security markets and to hunters.
SALES STRATEGY
We will employ a strategy of regional distributors and local dealers to most effectively build a sales network for our recreational products. Our intent is to target existing recreational vehicle dealers and solicit them to add our products to their existing lines. We intend on presenting them with the concept that offering vehicles that utilize a different fuel source could attract new customers and would not necessarily compete directly with existing products in their inventory. We intend to also present to them the theory that, with our products, they may also find they have an opportunity to create new sales within their existing customer base. Regional distributors will be chosen based upon their current dealer network infrastructure, their ability to penetrate their market and their reputation for providing superior dealer support for high quality products. In house staff will be responsible for recruiting distributors. This process will include attending various dealer or consumer / dealer trade events in the U.S.A. and Europe.

1 See http://www.detnews.com/2005/autosinsider/0505/30/A01-197580.htm (the increase in demand for fuel efficient cars is not directly proportionate to the increase in demand for the products of Electric Moto, however we feel the increased demand for fuel efficient automobiles reflects a growing trend in society of an increased demand for vehicles of all types, including recreational vehicles, that are fuel efficient.)
COMPETITION
Although there are other electric cycle manufacturers, most focus on urban transportation and not off-road use. Accordingly, at this time, Electric Moto, with our Blade, has limited direct competition. Currently, we are aware of no companies offering serially produced (not custom) off-road cycles but have identified one company claiming to offer electric powered ATV’s. This company is called ZAP, located in Santa Rosa, California. As the industry grows, we expect that other companies, some of which are well funded, could enter the market. We believe, having established a ten year presence in the industry delivering quality products, we have created sufficient brand familiarity and reputation to remain competitive when that time comes. We expect more competition in the commuter market should it ever develop and will proceed in this market only when we feel we can be uniquely competitive technically, enough so as to capture a reasonable market share.
Initially, we will attempt to position ourselves competitively as a brand favored by enthusiasts and, as competition enters the market will attempt to compete with superior quality as compared to competing with lower prices. We doubt we will be able to compete in price with a larger company who has the ability to mass produce their products.
In the interim, we believe Electric Moto has a distinct advantage of brand acceptance and market exposure that could allow us to begin national distribution now and build our dealer network prior to the first serious competitor arriving on the scene.

All of the stock owned by the selling security holders will be registered by the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part. The selling security holders may sell some or all of their shares immediately after they are registered.
The selling security holders’ shares may be sold or distributed from time to time by the selling stockholders or by pledgees, donees or transferees of, or successors in interest to, the selling stockholders, directly to one or more purchasers (including pledgees) or through brokers, dealers or underwriters who may act solely as agents or may acquire shares as principals, at the registered price of $.03 if no market for the securities exists at the time of sale and until our shares of common stock are quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board. Thereafter, the selling security holders may sell at market prices prevailing at the time of sale, at prices related to such prevailing market prices, at negotiated prices or at fixed prices, which may be changed. The distribution of the shares may be effected in one or more of the following methods:
* ordinary brokers transactions, which may include long or short sales,
* transactions involving cross or block trades on any securities or market where our common stock is trading,
* purchases by brokers, dealers or underwriters as principal and resale by such purchasers for their own accounts pursuant to this prospectus, “at the market” to or through market makers or into an existing market for the common stock,
* in other ways not involving market makers or established trading markets, including direct sales to purchasers or sales effected through agents,
* through transactions in options, swaps or other derivatives (whether exchange listed or otherwise), or
* any combination of the foregoing
In addition, the selling stockholders may enter into hedging transactions with broker-dealers who may engage in short sales, if short sales were permitted, of shares in the course of hedging the positions they assume with the selling stockholders. The selling stockholders may also enter into option or other transactions with broker-dealers that require the delivery by such broker-dealers of the shares, which shares may be resold thereafter pursuant to this prospectus.
Brokers, dealers, underwriters or agents participating in the distribution of the shares may receive compensation in the form of discounts, concessions or commissions from the selling stockholders and/or the purchasers of shares for whom such broker-dealers may act as agent or to whom they may sell as principal, or both (which compensation as to a particular broker-dealer may be in excess of customary commissions). The selling stockholders and any broker-dealers acting in connection with the sale of the shares hereunder may be deemed to be underwriters within the meaning of Section 2(11) of the Securities Act of 1933, and any commissions received by them and any profit realized by them on the resale of shares as principals may be deemed underwriting compensation under the Securities Act of 1933. Neither the selling stockholders nor we can presently estimate the amount of such compensation. We know of no existing arrangements between the selling stockholders and any other stockholder, broker, dealer, underwriter or agent relating to the sale or distribution of the shares.
If necessary due to a transfer of shares from the persons listed in this registration statement as selling shareholders to a third party, we will file a supplement to this prospectus pursuant to Rule 424(b) of Regulation C.
We will not receive any proceeds from the sale of the shares of the selling security holders pursuant to this prospectus. We have agreed to bear the expenses of the registration of the shares, including legal and accounting fees, and such expenses are estimated to be approximately $50,000.
We have informed the selling stockholders that certain anti-manipulative rules contained in Regulation M under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 may apply to their sales in the market and have furnished the selling stockholders with a copy of such rules and have informed them of the need for delivery of copies of this prospectus. The selling stockholders may also use Rule 144 under the Securities Act of 1933 to sell the shares if they meet the criteria and conform to the requirements of such rule.
We lease approximately 640 square feet (with an additional option of 300 square feet) of office space at 3165 East Main Street, Ashland, Oregon. Our rent is $400 per month. Our principal executive, Ely Schless owns the building with Krista Johnson.

The following is a summary description of our capital stock and certain provisions of our certificate of incorporation and by-laws, copies of which have been incorporated by reference as exhibits to the registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part. The following discussion is qualified in its entirety by reference to such exhibits.
Common Stock
We are presently authorized to issue 50,000,000 shares of $.001 par value common stock. At June 30, 2005, we had 32,800,000 shares of common stock outstanding. The holders of our common stock are entitled to equal dividends and distributions when, as, and if declared by the Board of Directors from funds legally available therefore. No holder of any shares of common stock has a preemptive right to subscribe for any of our securities, nor are any common shares subject to redemption or convertible into other of our securities, except for outstanding options described above. Upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up, and after payment of creditors and preferred stockholders, if any, the assets will be divided pro-rata on a share-for-share basis among the holders of the shares of common stock. Each share of common stock is entitled to one vote with respect to the election of any director or any other matter upon which shareholders are required or permitted to vote. Holders of our common stock do not have cumulative voting rights, so the holders of more than 50% of the combined shares voting for the election of directors may elect all of the directors if they choose to do so, and, in that event, the holders of the remaining shares will not be able to elect any members to the Board of Directors.
Preferred Stock
We are not authorized to issue preferred stock.
Options

ELECTRICMOTO CORPORATION
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
June 30, 2005
(UNAUDITED)
(1) Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP) for interim financial information and Item 310(b) of Regulation SB. They do not include all of the information and footnotes for complete financial statements as required by GAAP. In management's opinion, all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. The results of operations for the periods presented are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year. For further information, refer to the Company's financial statements as of December 31, 2004 and for the two years then ended.
(2) Stockholders' (Deficit)
During January 2005 the Company entered into a consulting agreement for a six month period. The Company agreed to compensate the consultants with 4,000,000 shares of common stock and 1,100,000 options to purchase shares of common stock at an exercise price of $.50 per share for a period of 2 years. The Company further agreed to register the shares and options pursuant to a Form SB-2 registration statement. The shares were issued during January 2005 at a fair value of $.05 per share based on cash sales of stock during the fourth quarter of 2004 made at that price. The value of the shares was charged to operations during the period.
During the six months ended June 30, 2005, the Company issued 180,000 shares of common stock to correct amounts of shares that were to be issued pursuant to a private placement during November 2004. The issuance had no impact on the results of operations for the period.
SFAS 123 requires the Company to provide pro forma information regarding net income and earnings per share as if compensation cost for the Company's stock option plans had been determined in accordance with the fair value based method prescribed in SFAS 123. The fair value of the option grants is estimated on the date of grant utilizing the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following weighted average assumptions for grants during the period ended June 30, 2005: expected life of options of 2 years, expected volatility of 0%, risk-free interest rate of 3% and no dividend yield. The weighted average fair value at the date of grant for options granted during the period ended June 30, 2005, approximated $0.00 per option. These results may not be representative of those to be expected in future years.
Under the provisions of SFAS 123, the Company's net income (loss) and earnings (loss) per share would not have changed materially:

(3) Related Party Transactions
During the six months ended June 30, 2005 a shareholder of the Company provided working capital aggregating $1,920.
(4) Going Concern
The Company’s financial statements are presented on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business.
The Company has experienced significant losses from operations. For the six months ended June 30, 2005 the Company incurred a net loss of $236,063. In addition, the Company has an accumulated deficit of $582,951 at June 30, 2005.
The Company’s ability to continue as a going concern is contingent upon its ability to expand its sales and secure additional financing. The Company is pursuing financing for its operations and seeking to expand its operations. Failure to secure such financing or expand its operations may result in the Company not being able to continue as a going concern.
REPORT OF REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
Stockholders and Board of Directors
Electric Moto Corporation
We have audited the accompanying balance sheet of Electric Moto Corporation as of December 31, 2004, and the related statements of operations, stockholders’ equity and cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2004 and 2003. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the 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 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, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Electric Moto Corporation as of December 31, 2004, and results of its operations and its cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2004 and 2003, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 5 to the financial statements, the Company has suffered a loss from operations does not have sufficient working capital to fund its operations. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans in regard to this matter are also discussed in Note 5. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

Notes to Financial Statements
Note 1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Organization
The Company was incorporated on Mach 7, 2000 in the State of Nevada under the name Dorado Capital Ventures, Inc. (Dorado). The Company was classified as a blank check company until April 8, 2004 at which date it completed an asset purchase agreement with a sole proprietorship doing business as Electric Moto. The Company changed its name to Electric Moto Corporation contemporaneous with the merger. The Company is engaged the business of design, manufacture and sale of electric motor powered off-road motorbikes. The accompanying financial statements include the accounts of Electric Moto Corporation/Electric Moto for the years ended December 31, 2004 and 2003. Dorado had no significant operations prior to the merger date (see Note 2.).
Revenue Recognition
In general, the Company records revenue when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, services have been rendered or product delivery has occurred, the sales price to the customer is fixed or determinable, and collectability is reasonably assured. The following policies reflect specific criteria for the various revenues streams of the Company:
Revenue is recognized at the time the product is delivered and title passes. Provision for sales returns will be estimated based on the Company’s historical return experience. Revenue is presented net of returns.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
The Company considers all highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.
Accounts Receivable
Accounts receivable are stated at estimated net realizable value. Accounts receivable are comprised of balances due from customers net of estimated allowances for uncollectible accounts. In determining collectability, historical trends are evaluated and specific customer issues are reviewed to arrive at appropriate allowances.
Inventories
Inventories at December 31, 2004, consist of purchased components and miscellaneous parts required to assemble the Company’s product. The motorbikes are assembled when an order is received. Inventory is carried at the lower of cost or market on a first-in first-out basis.
Financial Instruments
Fair value estimates discussed herein are based upon certain market assumptions and pertinent information available to management as of December 31, 2004. The respective carrying value of certain on-balance-sheet financial instruments approximated their fair values. These financial instruments include cash and accounts payable. Fair values were assumed to approximate carrying values for these financial instruments because they are short term in nature and their carrying amounts approximate fair values.
Electric Moto Corporation
Notes to Financial Statements
December 31, 2004
Net Income (Loss) Per Common Share
The Company calculates net income (loss) per share as required by Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) 128, "Earnings per Share." Basic earnings (loss) per share is calculated by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted earnings (loss) per share is calculated by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of common shares and dilutive common stock equivalents outstanding. During periods in which the Company incurs losses common stock equivalents, if any, are not considered, as their effect would be anti dilutive.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Segment Information
The Company follows SFAS 131, “Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information." Certain information is disclosed, per SFAS 131, based on the way management organizes financial information for making operating decisions and assessing performance. The Company currently operates in a single segment and will evaluate additional segment disclosure requirements as it expands its operations.
Income Taxes
The Company follows SFAS 109 "Accounting for Income Taxes" for recording the provision for income taxes. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are computed based upon the difference between the financial statement and income tax basis of assets and liabilities using the enacted marginal tax rate applicable when the related asset or liability is expected to be realized or settled. Deferred income tax expenses or benefits are based on the changes in the asset or liability each period. If available evidence suggests that it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized, a valuation allowance is required to reduce the deferred tax assets to the amount that is more likely than not to be realized. Future changes in such valuation allowance are included in the provision for deferred income taxes in the period of change.
Stock-Based Compensation
The Company accounts for equity instruments issued to employees for services based on the fair value of the equity instruments issued and accounts for equity instruments issued to other than employees based on the fair value of the consideration received or the fair value of the equity instruments, whichever is more reliably measurable.
The Company accounts for stock based compensation in accordance with SFAS 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation." The provisions of SFAS 123 allow companies to either expense the estimated fair value of stock options or to continue to follow the intrinsic value method set forth in APB Opinion 25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees" (APB 25) but disclose the pro forma effects on net income (loss) had the fair value of the options been expensed. The Company has elected to continue to apply APB 25 in accounting for its stock option incentive plans.

Notes to Financial Statements
December 31, 2004
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
The Company accounts for long-lived assets and goodwill in accordance with the provisions of SFAS 144, "Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets" and SFAS 142, "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets" SFAS 144 requires that long-lived assets and certain identifiable intangibles be reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset to future net cash flows expected to be generated by the asset. If such assets are considered to be impaired, the impairment to be recognized is measured by the amount by which the carrying amount of the assets exceeds the fair value of the assets. Assets to be disposed of are reported at the lower of the carrying amount or fair value less costs to sell. SFAS 142 requires annual tests for impairment of goodwill and intangible assets that have indefinite useful lives and interim tests when an event has occurred that more likely than not has reduced the fair value of such assets.
Advertising
Advertising expenses are charged to expense upon first showing. Amounts charged to expense were $2,311 and $1,053 for the years ended December 31, 2004 and 2003.
Selling, General and Administrative Expenses
The components of selling, general and administrative expenses are as follows:
| | 2004 | | 2003 | |
Professional fees | | $ | 37,360 | | $ | - | |
Salaries and related | | | 33,285 | | | 24,000 | |

| | $ | 105,642 | | $ | 44,022 | |
Recent Pronouncements
In November 2004, the FASB issued SFAS 151, “Inventory Costs.” SFAS 151 amends the accounting for abnormal amounts of idle facility expense, freight, handling costs, and wasted material (spoilage) under the guidance in ARB 43, Chapter 4, “Inventory Pricing.” Paragraph 5 of ARB 43, Chapter 4, previously stated that “…under some circumstances, items such as idle facility expense, excessive spoilage, double freight, and rehandling costs may be so abnormal as to require treatment as current period charges….” This Statement requires that those items be recognized as current-period charges regardless of whether they meet the criterion of “so abnormal.” In addition, this Statement requires that allocation of fixed production overheads to the costs of conversion be based on the normal capacity of the production facilities. This statement is effective for inventory costs incurred during fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2005. Management does not expect adoption of SFAS 152 to have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements.

Notes to Financial Statements
December 31, 2004
In December 2004, the FASB issued SFAS 152, “Accounting for Real Estate Time-Sharing Transactions.” The FASB issued this Statement as a result of the guidance provided in AICPA Statement of Position (SOP) 04-2, “Accounting for Real Estate Time-Sharing Transactions.” SOP 04-2 applies to all real estate time-sharing transactions. Among other items, the SOP provides guidance on the recording of credit losses and the treatment of selling costs, but does not change the revenue recognition guidance in SFAS 66, “Accounting for Sales of Real Estate,” for real estate time-sharing transactions. SFAS 152 amends Statement 66 to reference the guidance provided in SOP 04-2. SFAS 152 also amends SFAS 67, “Accounting for Costs and Initial Rental Operations of Real Estate Projects”, to state that SOP 04-2 provides the relevant guidance on accounting for incidental operations and costs related to the sale of real estate time-sharing transactions. SFAS 152 is effective for years beginning after June 15, 2005, with restatements of previously issued financial statements prohibited. Management does not expect adoption of SFAS 151 to have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements.
In December 2004, the FASB issued SFAS 153, “Exchanges of Nonmonetary Assets,” an amendment to Opinion No. 29, “Accounting for Nonmonetary Transactions.” Statement 153 eliminates certain differences in the guidance in Opinion No. 29 as compared to the guidance contained in standards issued by the International Accounting Standards Board. The amendment to Opinion No. 29 eliminates the fair value exception for nonmonetary exchanges of similar productive assets and replaces it with a general exception for exchanges of nonmonetary assets that do not have commercial substance. Such an exchange has commercial substance if the future cash flows of the entity are expected to change significantly as a result of the exchange. SFAS 153 is effective for nonmonetary asset exchanges occurring in periods beginning after June 15, 2005. Earlier application is permitted for nonmonetary asset exchanges occurring in periods beginning after December 16, 2004. Management does not expect adoption of SFAS 153 to have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements.
In December 2004, the FASB issued SFAS 123(R), “Share-Based Payment.” SFAS 123(R) amends SFAS 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation,” and APB Opinion 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees.” SFAS 123(R) requires that the cost of share-based payment transactions (including those with employees and non-employees) be recognized in the financial statements. SFAS 123(R) applies to all share-based payment transactions in which an entity acquires goods or services by issuing (or offering to issue) its shares, share options, or other equity instruments (except for those held by an ESOP) or by incurring liabilities (1) in amounts based (even in part) on the price of the entity’s shares or other equity instruments, or (2) that require (or may require) settlement by the issuance of an entity’s shares or other equity instruments. This statement is effective (1) for public companies qualifying as SEC small business issuers, as of the first interim period or fiscal year beginning after December 15, 2005, or (2) for all other public companies, as of the first interim period or fiscal year beginning after June 15, 2005, or (3) for all nonpublic entities, as of the first fiscal year beginning after December 15, 2005. Management is currently assessing the effect of SFAS No. 123(R) on the Company’s financial statements.

Note 2. Merger Agreement
Effective April 8, 2004 the Company (Dorado) entered into an asset purchase agreement with Ely Schless dba Electric Moto, a sole proprietorship whereby Dorado purchased the assets and assumed the liabilities of Electric Moto in exchange for 20,000,000 shares of Dorado. Subsequent to the issuance of these common shares the proprietor of Electric Moto owns approximately 80% of the issued and outstanding shares of the Dorado. The transaction was accounted for as a recapitalization of the Dorado and the issuance of common shares of Electric Moto Corporation for the net assets of Dorado of $84,958. Therefore, Dorado’s historical accumulated deficit from inception to April 8, 2004, in the amount of $2,157,540, was eliminated against its additional paid-in capital, and the financial statements presented prospectively will be those of Electric Moto Corporation\Electric Moto adjusted for the shares issued pursuant to the recapitalization which consisted of 5,150,000 common shares. No goodwill or other intangible asset was recorded as a result of the transaction. Prior to the recapitalization, Dorado had 16,010,000 common shares outstanding, of which 10,860,000 shares held by directors of Dorado were returned to the Company and retired.
Under generally accepted accounting principles for reverse acquisition transactions, the shares outstanding of the “blank check” company are considered to be newly issued shares by the ongoing enterprise, having a value based upon the net assets transferred. The shares issuable pursuant to the asset purchase agreement are considered to be the existing capital of the surviving company at the agreement date.
Dorado had no significant business activities prior to the acquisition date. Following the recapitalization, the business conducted by the Company is the business conducted by Electric Moto prior to the recapitalization.
Note 3. STOCKHOLDERS’ EQUITY
At the inception of the sole proprietorship, the owner contributed $5,000 to capitalize the business. During the year ended December 31, 2003, the owner contributed services to the business having a fair value of $24,000.
During November 2004, the Company sold an aggregate of 1,210,000 shares of its common stock to unrelated investors for cash at between $.03 and $.05 per share and received gross proceeds from the sale amounting to $43,470. In conjunction with the offering the Company issued an aggregate of 2,320,000 options exercisable at $.05 per share for a period of 18 months from the issue date of the shares, 1,820,000 options exercisable at $.15 per share for a period of 18 months from the issue date of the shares and 1,820,000 options exercisable at $.25 per share for a period of 18 months from the issue date of the shares.
During 2004 the Company issued 2,260,000 shares of common stock to affiliates for services valued at $285,360, which approximates the fair market value of the common shares issued based upon the price paid previously by cash investors.
During October 2004 the Company issued options to purchase 500,000 shares of common stock at $.05 per share for a period of 2 years to an entity. Compensation costs charged to operations aggregated $0 for the year ended December 31, 2004.

SFAS 123 requires the Company to provide pro forma information regarding net income and earnings per share as if compensation cost for the Company's stock option plans had been determined in accordance with the fair value based method prescribed in SFAS 123. The fair value of the option grants is estimated on the date of grant utilizing the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following weighted average assumptions for grants during the year ended December 31, 2004: expected life of options of 2 years, expected volatility of 0%, risk-free interest rate of 3% and no dividend yield. The weighted average fair value at the date of grant for options granted during the year ended December 31, 2004, approximated $0.00 per option. These results may not be representative of those to be expected in future years.
Under the provisions of SFAS 123, the Company's net income (loss) and earnings (loss) per share would not have changed materially:

Note 4. INCOME TAXES
The Company accounts for income taxes under SFAS 109, “Accounting for Income Taxes”, which requires use of the liability method. SFAS 109 provides that deferred tax assets and liabilities are recorded based on the differences between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts for financial reporting purposes, referred to as temporary differences. Deferred tax assets and liabilities at the end of each period are determined using the currently enacted tax rates applied to taxable income in the periods in which the deferred tax assets and liabilities are expected to be settled or realized.
The provision for income taxes differs from the amount computed by applying the statutory federal income tax rate to income before provision for income taxes. The sources and tax effects of the differences are as follows:
Income tax provision at | | | |
the federal statutory rate | 34 | | |
Effect of operating losses | (34 | ) | % |
| - | | % |
Prior to April 8, 2004, the operations of the Company were included in the personal tax return of the owner. Accumulated losses from the operation through that date amounted to $59,406 and have been reclassified as a reduction of the accumulated deficit and additional paid-in capital.
As of December 31, 2004, the Company has a net operating loss carryforward of approximately $62,000. This loss will be available to offset future taxable income. If not used, this carryforward will expire in 2024. The deferred tax asset relating to the operating loss carryforward has been fully reserved at December 31, 2004 and the valuation allowance increased by approximately $11,000 during the year ended December 31, 2004. The principal difference between the Company's book operating losses and income tax operating losses results from charges to income related to the issuance of common stock for services during 2004 of $285,360.
Note 4. BASIS OF REPORTING
The Company’s financial statements are presented on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business.
The Company has experienced a losses from operations during the years ended December 31, 2004 and 2003 amounting to $369,005 and $37,289.
The Company’s ability to continue as a going concern is contingent upon its ability to attain profitable operations by securing financing and implementing its business plan. In addition, the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern must be considered in light of the problems, expenses and complications frequently encountered by entrance into established markets and the competitive environment in which the Company operates.
The financial statements do not include any adjustments to reflect the possible future effects on the recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts and classification of liabilities that may result from the possible inability of the Company to continue as a going concern.
Note 6. COMMITMENTS
The Company has entered into a two year employment agreement with its president at an annual salary of $48,000 commencing in April 2004.

ITEM 24. INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS, OFFICERS, EMPLOYEES AND AGENTS.
Our Certificate of Incorporation and By-laws provide that we shall indemnify to the fullest extent permitted by Nevada law any person whom we may indemnify thereunder, including our directors, officers, employees and agents. Such indemnification (other than as ordered by a court) shall be made by us only upon a determination that indemnification is proper in the circumstances because the individual met the applicable standard of conduct i.e., such person acted in good faith and in a manner he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to our best interest. Advances for such indemnification may be made pending such determination. Such determination shall be made by a majority vote of a quorum consisting of disinterested directors, or by independent legal counsel or by the stockholders. In addition, our Certificate of Incorporation provides for the elimination, to the extent permitted by Nevada, of personal liability of our directors and our stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as directors.
We have agreed to indemnify each of our directors and certain officers against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act of 1933. Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to our directors, officers and controlling persons pursuant to the provisions described above, or otherwise, we have 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 our payment of expenses incurred or paid by our director, officer or controlling person 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, we will, unless in the opinion of our counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
ITEM 25. OTHER EXPENSES OF ISSUANCE AND DISTRIBUTION.

ITEM 26. RECENT SALES OF UNREGISTERED SECURITIES.
On April 1, 2004, we issued 1,000,000 shares of our restricted common stock to Natural Ventures for cash consideration of $50,000. The issuance was valued at $.05 per share or $50,000. Our shares were issued in reliance on the exemption from registration provided by Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933. No commissions were paid for the issuance of such shares. All of the above issuances of shares of our common stock qualified for exemption under Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933 since the issuance of such shares by us did not involve a public offering. Natural Ventures was a sophisticated investor and had access to information normally provided in a prospectus regarding us. The offering was not a “public offering” as defined in Section 4(2) due to the insubstantial number of persons involved in the deal, size of the offering, manner of the offering and number of shares offered. We did not undertake an offering in which we sold a high number of shares to a high number of investors. In addition, Natural Ventures had the necessary investment intent as required by Section 4(2) since they agreed to and received a share certificate bearing a legend stating that such shares are restricted pursuant to Rule 144 of the 1933 Securities Act. No general advertising or public solicitation occurred during this issuance. These restrictions ensure that these shares would not be immediately redistributed into the market and therefore not be part of a “public offering.” Based on an analysis of the above factors, we have met the requirements to qualify for exemption under Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933 for the above transaction.

The offering was not a “public offering” as defined in Section 4(2) due to the insubstantial number of persons involved in the deal, size of the offering, manner of the offering and number of shares offered. We did not undertake an offering in which we sold a high number of shares to a high number of investors. In addition, Marquis Investment Corporation had the necessary investment intent as required by Section 4(2) since they agreed to and received a share certificate bearing a legend stating that such shares are restricted pursuant to Rule 144 of the 1933 Securities Act. No general advertising or public solicitation occurred during this issuance. These restrictions ensure that these shares would not be immediately redistributed into the market and therefore not be part of a “public offering.” Based on an analysis of the above factors, we have met the requirements to qualify for exemption under Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933 for the above transaction. Based on the $.03 offering price, we owe Marquis Investment Corporation an additional 200,000 shares of our restricted common stock. The shares shall be issued after the initial filing of this registration statement.

ITEM 28. UNDERTAKINGS.
(A) 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 to:
(i) Include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act of 1933;
(ii) Reflect in the prospectus any facts or events which, individually or together, 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) 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
(iii)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.
(2) That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
(3) 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.
(B) Undertaking Required by Regulation S-B, Item 512(e).
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers or controlling persons pursuant to the foregoing provisions, 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 that 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.
