We, as your management, will not deem that the Offering has been subscribed and closed unless a minimum of $100,000 of gross proceeds has been received within the offering term of One-Hundred and Twenty Days (120/days) from the date appearing on the face of this Prospectus. All funds received up to the minimum offering will be held in a segregated subscription account by the Company, until or unless the minimum offering is reached within the subscription term. If the minimum offering is not reached within this subscription term, all proceeds will be returned to the investors in this Offering without interest or deduction for costs. We may close the Offering at any time after the minimum offering is sold within the Offering term. However, if the maximum offering of $200,000 is reached, the Offering will be closed when and if such amount is obtained within the Offering term. All proceeds received after the minimum offering will be paid directly to the Company and may be used for the anticipated company purposes as received. The Company is selling 100,000 (Min.) to 200,000 (Max.) of its common voting stock in this Offering at $1.00/share. There is no minimum subscription amount. Cost of the Offering: We have estimated the cost of this Offering to be approximately $20,000 which amount should include registration fees, printing, legal, accounting and distribution costs. No Commissions: No allowances are made for the payment of commissions as we intend to sell the Offering through our own management (self-underwriting) without the payment of any third party commission or fees. Should we not be successful in selling the Offering, we may elect to amend this Registration Statement and Prospectus to provide for the payment of commissions to any licensed third party underwriter or broker, at which time the amount of commissions would be described in the forepart of the Prospectus. See section on Terms of Offering. 4 Business: We, to date, have not engaged in any active business purpose. We have recently entered into a Product Distributing Agreement with ProSource Software for the distribution and marketing rights to a unique proprietary computer software used in accident vehicle prevention and accident reconstruction and analysis. The contract essentially provides for a discount purchase right to the technology by the Company on a geographic exclusive basis for an initial two year term. The Company, if the supplier is not able to satisfy demand, may also arrange for third party manufacturing of the technology. This contract is more fully explained under the Business Section. Risks & Dilution: This Offering involves substantial risks of loss to the investor. Further, you will realize an immediate and substantial reduction in the net worth per share of your investment after the Offering due to various dilution factors. See Section on Risk Factors and Dilution. Use of Proceeds: The intended use of proceeds is set out under that Section. However, each of you should understand that we have broad discretion, in the exercise of sound business judgment, to alter or amend the specific use of proceeds applicable. See Use of Proceeds Section. Control & Ownership: You should understand that even in the event of the sale of the maximum offering, you and other shareholders purchasing pursuant to this Registration will hold only a minority interest in the Company and that the original founders and shareholders will continue to maintain a majority sharehold interest. See Risk Factors and Terms of the Offering. Offering Price: The offering price for shares in this Registration have been arbitrarily set by us and do not purport, in any way, to reflect the actual value of the Company or its assets. See Section on Terms of the Offering. 5 RISK FACTORS ------------ The following constitutes what we (the Company's management) believe to be the most significant risk factors in this Offering. This list is not intended to be exclusive and each investor should read the entire Prospectus materials as to risk factors as may be discussed or illuminated by other sections. Further, no particular significance should be attached to the order in which the risk factors are listed: 1- Limited Marketing Rights. The current products of the Company are not only unproven, but are distributed by the Company pursuant to a two year distribution contract. There is no assurance the Company can continue to market its products beyond this initial two year term, or that it will be able to have any business purpose beyond this term. 2- Lack of Capitalization. We have intentionally limited the amount of money to be raised in this Offering to help in efforts to close this Offering as a self-underwriting by potential contacts of management and without the need to employ third party underwriters or broker dealers. As a result, the amount of capital being raised is marginal and may not be adequate to fully or sufficiently fund the business plan or complete one or more of the stated objectives of the Company. Further, the Company has no alternative financing plan. 3- Start-up Enterprise. This is a start-up enterprise without any operating history or record. No assurance can be made or given that the business concepts or products will be viable, can be profitably marketed or that you, as investors in this Offering, will receive any return on your investment. 4- Majority Control. Even in the event that the maximum amount is sold in this Offering, the shareholders in the Company prior to this Offering will continue to hold the majority of the shares and thereby control the future of the Company in such important matters as type of business, compensation to management and control of the corporation's Board of Directors. 5-Lack of Trading Markets. As of the time of the anticipated effective date of this Registration Statement, there will not exist any publicly traded market for the Company's shares. Even after the completion of this Offering, as a minimum or maximum offering, there can be no assurance that a publicly traded market will develop for the shares being sold to you in this Offering. If we are not able to develop a public trading market for the shares, there may be limited liquidity of the shares and you may be forced to hold such shares for an indefinite period of time and to then rely upon the uncertain prospects of "private"sales of your securities in order to have any type of a marketability or "exit strategy." 6-Arbitrary Offering Price. The Offering price of the shares being sold in this Offering were arbitrarily set by us and do not reflect any intrinsic value of the Company or its shares. 7-Dilution. Because various of the initial shares in this corporation were issued to founders or other affiliated parties for minimal capitalization and intangibles such as concepts, entrepreneurship and other factors not 6 involving hard assets or cash, you, as a post organization investor in this Offering, will suffer a dilution in value of the shares you purchase in this Offering - that is the reduction in value of your shares after the Offering compared to the price of the shares being purchased in the Offering. See Dilution Section. 8-Unproved Markets and Products. The concepts and products described in this Offering have traditionally been associated with a limited market. There is no assurance that we will be successful in profitably marketing the intended services and products to this limited market. See Description of Business and Markets. 9-Limited Exclusive Rights. We are obtaining exclusive geographic rights to the technology. However, the Company directly, or through one or more third parties, may compete with us in other geographic areas. 10-Cost of the Offering Relative to Other Use of Proceeds. The cost of the Offering constitutes a substantial portion of the proceeds of this Offering, up to 20% in the event only the minimum offering is sold. As a result, you should understand that much of the proceeds being raised will be used to pay the cost of this Offering, rather than being employed for actual business purposes. We anticipated this consequence as a result of our efforts to maintain a limited offering size. However, there remains a risk that a relatively high portion of the proceeds of the offering will be used to pay costs rather than direct business development. See Use of Proceeds, Description of Business and Terms of the Offering sections. 11-Managements Experience with a Public Entity. We have limited experience in business activities and no experience in the management of a public company. You will be relying upon Company management to be able to manage a public company, complete the reporting requirements and to learn and discharge the other responsibilities incident to the operation of a publicly held reporting company if this Offering is successfully closed. 12-Start-up Company. As a start-up company, there may be some cost overruns and other problems that are not disclosed or anticipated by this Offering and which may impede the return of investment or the continued commercial operations of the Company. DILUTION -------- Dilution is a term which normally defines the reduction in value per share which occurs to the investor in certain offerings compared to the purchase price of those shares. By way of specific illustration, an investor in this Offering is paying $1.00 per share. It is estimated that the net worth per share after the completion of the Maximum Offering will only be $.14. Therefore, each investor in this Offering will suffer an immediate dilution to his investment of $.86 per share or 86 % in the Maximum Offering; and $.92 per share or 92 % in the Minimum Offering. These dilution factors are illustrated in the following graphical representations: 7 [Graph Ommitted] Minimum offering Maximum Offering Value Subscription Value share after Value Subscription Value share $1.00/share offering $1.00/share after offering 100% $ .08/share 100% $.14 /share (Rounded) (Rounded) Dilution Dilution Dilution 92% Dilution 86% In this Offering, dilution primarily arises because the original founders and affiliated parties who organized the corporation took shares for the entrepreneurial effort, concepts and with the transfer of minimal cash, which did not result in any significant accountable net worth for the Company. You, as an investor, will contribute essentially all of the working capital, but which contribution is divided not only by shares sold in this Offering, but also among those issued to the original shareholders thus resulting in the dilution described above. PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION AND TERMS OF THE OFFERING ---------------------------------------------- As noted previously, the Company does not intend to employ the services of any underwriter or other broker/dealer to place or sell its securities. The Company believes it can place the limited amount of securities being offered by this registration through the efforts of its own management group who will not be paid any consideration, commission or other compensation for the selling and placement efforts. Consequently, no provisions for commissions have been provided for in this Prospectus. Should management determine, at any time, that it is necessary to sell this Offering pursuant through the use of commissions to an underwriter, management will reserve the right to amend the Registration and Prospectus to reflect any such commission arrangements and to continue with the Offering in accordance with all other terms and provisions. The costs of this Offering are estimated at $20,000 and include legal, accounting, filing or permit fees, printing and related distribution costs. These amounts are estimates but are believed reasonably accurate for the intended size of the Offering. As noted under the Risk Factors and Use of Proceeds Sections, payment of these estimated offering costs will involve a substantial portion of both the minimum or maximum offering, thereby limiting the amount of net proceeds available for actual business purposes. Proceeds of the Offering, up to the minimum offering, will be placed in a segregated subscription account under control of the Company and will not be employed for any business purposes of the Company until or unless the minimum offering is sold within the offering term of 120 days from the date appearing on the face of this Prospectus. If the minimum offering is not fully sold and collected within such minimum period, then the Offering with be terminated and all proceeds with be returned without deduction for cost or addition of any interest. Any interest earned on the subscription account will be employed by the Company to pay for anticipated Offering costs and return of subscription proceeds to investors. 8 After the close of the minimum offering , the Company will employ proceeds of this Offering upon receipt and the subscription account will no longer be employed. The Company reserves the right to close the Offering at any time within the Offering term of 120 days when the minimum offering has been sold, even if less than the maximum offering has been sold. Factors which may influence the Company's decision to close the Offering would be the effort required to continue sales and the rate at which subscriptions were obtained up to the minimum offering. In all events, the Company will not sell more than the maximum offering and will close the Offering at any time that the maximum amount has been sold. The Use of Proceeds section reflects the Company's best present estimate of the use of proceeds in the event of either the minimum or maximum offering. The Offering may be closed at some point between the minimum and maximum and the use of proceeds will be adjusted accordingly, though no assurance is given or represented that such adjustment will be exactly pro rata to the percentage difference between the minimum and maximum offering. It is intended the Offering will be sold primarily to citizens of the State of Utah and that the Offering will qualify in Utah as a registration by coordination. That is the Company will be deemed to be qualified as a registered offering in Utah upon clearance of this Registration with the SEC. If the Offering is offered or sold in other jurisdictions, the Offering must be registered or qualified under the applicable state law of that jurisdiction. The Company does not intend to register this Offering in any other jurisdiction for sale unless such registration can primarily be achieved by coordination without the necessity of any merit or substantial additional disclosure requirements. However, should the Company elect to sell in any jurisdiction that imposes any additional disclosure requirements, they will be included in this Offering as a supplemental disclosure. Also, as previously noted, the Company has not secured a commitment to list or trade the securities being registered through any broker/dealer and there is no present assurance that a public market will exist for the securities even in the event of a successful completion of this Offering. Each prospective investor should consider the potential lack of a public market as a significant risk factor. Management will work to obtain the listing of the securities after this offering by one or more broker/dealers, but can give no warranty or assurance that they will be successful in such efforts. No shares of current management or original shareholders are being registered pursuant to this Offering and no intent or obligation exists by the Company to register currently issued shares in any manner. USE OF PROCEEDS --------------- Management has set-out in the following tabular format the intended use of proceeds based upon the sale of either the minimum or maximum offering. As previously advised, each prospective investor should be aware that the Offering may be closed at some point between the minimum and maximum offering and there would be some proration of the use of proceeds between the two tables, though management is under no requirement to exactly complete a mathematical pro ration on the use of proceeds. 9 YOU ARE ADVISED THAT MANAGEMENT MAY ALTER OR CHANGE THE USE OF PROCEEDS IN THE EXERCISE OF SOUND BUSINESS DISCRETION AND MANAGEMENT JUDGMENTS AFTER THE COMPLETION OF THE OFFERING AND THE FOLLOWING SHOULD CONSTITUTE ONLY AN OUTLINE OF THE PRESENT INTENDED USE OF PROCEEDS. Minimum Offering: General Description of Intended Expenditure Dollar Amount Percentage of Offering (Rounded) - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 1. Estimated cost of Offering $20,000 20% 2. Overhead Expenses (Six months) $25,000 25% 3. Funds committed to acquiring and marketing $30,000 30% the "software technology" 4. Funds reserved for securities compliance work $7,000 7% 5. Working capital reserves $18,000 18% Totals $100,000 100% Maximum Offering: General Description of Intended Expenditure Dollar Amount Percentage of Offering (Rounded) - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 1. Estimated cost of Offering $20,000 10% 2. Overhead Expenses (Six months) $25,000 13% 3. Funds committed to acquiring and marketing $100,000 50% the "software technology" 4. Funds reserved for securities compliance work $8,000 4% 5. Working capital reserves $47,000 23% Totals $200,000 100% The Company has reserved and allocated approximately $25,000 of the net proceeds of the Offering for operational costs. The operational allocations are allocated to cover minimum cost of operation of the Company for an estimated period of six months. Included within the operational allocation would be payment of rent, utilities, and other overhead; as well as a base salary stipend 10 of $1,000/monthly for the present Chief Executive Officer of the Company for his services on an as needed basis. It is not anticipated that there will be any other full time salaried officers or employees during this initial start-up phase, unless revenues are generated sufficient to justify payment of salaries to other employees through revenues. The total amount of salary allocated for the initial six month period to the Chief Executive Officer will not exceed $6,000. It should be understood this is a reduced stipend from the base salary proposed for the CEO and he has agreed to accept this as a minimal allocation from proceeds during the start-up phase. It is anticipated that revenues will be sufficient to cover operating expenses after the first six months of operation, though no assurance or warranty of this projection can be made. Management may elect to use additional offering proceeds for continuing operation beyond the six months term in the exercise of sound business discretion. In all events, the use of proceeds of the Offering to pay operational costs will necessarily reduce the amount of proceeds of the Offering available for actual product marketing and distribution. Each prospective investor should understand that there is a risk factor in investing in a start-up entity that must use offering proceeds for operational costs and does not yet have sufficient revenues to pay for such costs. There is no assurance that any of the estimated use of proceeds for the specific business purposes outlined above will be sufficient to adequately fund the costs of operation and start up of the various business operations. We reserve the right to explore supplemental financing, through either private placements or loans, should the proceeds of this Offering not prove adequate to complete its business purposes. No warranties or assurances have been made or represented in any manner that the Company would be successful in securing alternative financing and no prospective investors should invest with the expectation that such alternative funding is available. As noted above, the Company has allocated $30,000 in the event of the minimum offering and approximately $100,000 in the maximum offering towards the direct distribution and marketing efforts for the "software technology" consisting of the unique proprietary software. It is intended that the Company will primarily use these proceeds to obtain the software and to attempt to acquire and retain various distributors on a commission basis for the product, as well as direct marketing efforts through direct conventional and e-mail mailings and other selective Internet marketing efforts. At the present, the Company is completing a business plan as to an allocation of these anticipated proceeds between a website, catalog advertising and direct mailing to various companies or individuals who may be prospective distributors of the intended product line. DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS ----------------------- Kinship Systems, Inc. was incorporated in the State of Utah on February 1, 2000 under the initial name of Kinship Communications, Inc. The name was subsequently changed, due to availability, as of March 2, 2000 to Kinship Systems, Inc. Because no business, other than organizational matters, were conducted under the Kinship Communications name, the Company does not deem the name to have any significance and has referred to itself for the purposes of this Prospectus as Kinship Systems, Inc. 11 On May 4, 2000, the Company entered into a product distribution agreement with ProSource Software, Inc., ("the Supplier") for specific computer software developed and marketed by ProSource primarily for software programs designed for vehicle accident analysis and reconstruction Exhibit "F". This is a limited industry in which various accident reconstruction experts, as well as various traffic and law enforcement agencies, attempt to analyze data related to accident reconstruction. The primary purpose of this type of analysis is to provide for liability and damage consultation and services related to litigation which may arise out of vehicle accidents. The technology is also used by various police departments in accessing liability or fault in a traffic accident situation. Because of the limited scope of the software it is considered a "specialty item" which would have interest primarily to insurance companies, potential litigants and their legal counsel, as well as various police and transportation departments. The principal software for which the Company is obtaining a distribution right is known as the "Larm 2"(TM). Larm is an acronym for linear and rotational momentum. This software is used for various vehicle accident diagram programs and analysis as to speed, direction, vector analysis and potential physical damages caused by various hypothetical accident configurations. The other software is known as the "Accident Avoidance Analysis"(TM) (AAA) which is primarily used to analyze various speed and distances factors related to accident reconstruction work. This software is employed to determine under what conditions of speed and distance an accident scenario may have been avoided. The specific terms of the marketing agreement between the Company and ProSource Software provides that the Company would have the exclusive marketing rights to this software in the states of Utah, Idaho, Arizona and California. ProSource would sell the software, manuals and advertising material for this software configured for either single, network or lan users at a 20 percent discount to the prevailing market price employed by ProSource. It would be anticipated that Kinship would then resell the product at a 20 percent markup within the exclusively designated geographic areas. The initial term of the agreement is for 2 years. Kinship intends to use direct mailing, e-mailing, trade print advertising and Web Site sales as the primary marketing tools for this product, though no assurance or warranty of successful marketing efforts can be made. After the termination of the initial 2 year term of the agreement, the parties may renegotiate a continuation of the contract as mutually agreed upon. There is no obligation or warranty that either Kinship or ProSource will continue with the marketing of the software or other software products from ProSource after the termination of the initial 2 year term. The contract also provides that if ProSource is, at any time, unable to adequately supply software, manuals or other components of the software product to be marketed, then Kinship may, at its own cost and expense, obtain third party production of these materials and resell the materials at its current prevailing market price. 12 A copy of the distribution agreement between the Supplier and the Company is attached hereto and incorporated as Exhibit "F" to this Registration Statement, but is not included in the Prospectus delivered to you. Any potential investor desiring to review this contract prior to investing may obtain a copy by requesting the document from the Company. The present business of the Company is too new for the Company to make any reasonable projections as to gross revenues, net profits, if any, or even the number of units which must be sold by the Company to obtain profitability. Further, the Company is not able to make any present estimates or projections as to geographic areas, markets or specific customers to which most of the products may be sold. It is anticipated that market analysis will subsequently be available and can be disclosed to shareholders in the Company as the Company generates such data from anticipated sales and revenues. NO ASSURANCE OR WARRANTY CAN BE GIVEN THAT THE COMPANY WILL BE SUCCESSFUL IN ANY MANNER IN THE MARKETING OR DISTRIBUTION OF THE PRODUCT. NUMBER OF PERSONS EMPLOYED -------------------------- At present, only Mr. Tery Deru will act as a part-time officer of the Company during the initial start-up phase. Mr. David Collier as the Vice President, and Mr. Andrew Limpert as the Secretary will serve the Company part-time on an as needed basis during the initial organizational period. These individuals have agreed to receive subsequently determined stock options and rights as deferred compensation for their part-time service during this initial phase, as the Company will not have sufficient proceeds to pay a salary to these individuals. It is believed that the individuals will devote such time as may be necessary to discharge various obligations in those capacities as well as their service on the Board of Directors where applicable. Mr. Deru acting as the part-time President will be responsible for all of the day to day administrative duties of the Corporation including necessary clerical and administrative functions until such time as anticipated revenues would allow for the hiring of any support personnel. Mr. Deru will receive a cost of living stipend from offering proceeds up to $6,000 during the initial six months of operations. As soon as revenues would justify the hiring of various personnel, the Company would intend to hire clerical and marketing personnel to assist in the operation of the Company, including the distribution of the product. As noted earlier, it is anticipated, though not warranted, that such personnel may be hired after the initial six months depending upon the revenues generated from the Company's operations. 13 ENVIRONMENTAL COMPLIANCE ------------------------ It is not anticipated that the general products or services to be supplied by the Company will have significant or particular environmental compliance requirements or regulations. DESCRIPTION OF PROPERTY ----------------------- The Company currently operates a combined limited assembly and administrative office/plant from leased space located at 22 East 100 South, Suite 400, Salt Lake City, Utah 84111. This property consists of approximately 800 square feet which is currently retained on a one year sublease with gross rental payments of $200.00 per month with the present lease term expiring in March 31st of 2001 and with the right of renewal for three more years on a to be negotiated basis. The present facilities are believed adequate for the initial operation of the Company through the expenditure of the anticipated proceeds of this Offering. Thereafter, if the products are being successfully marketed and demand increases beyond an estimated one hundred units per month of sales, the present facilities would have to be expanded or other facilities acquired to meet demand. The administrative offices consists of approximately one fourth of the lease area and are considered adequate for the start-up period. Total monthly costs of operation of the physical facilities including rents, all utilities and other office expenses, except salaries, are estimated to be approximately $250.00 per month at the present time. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION ----------------------------------------------------------- As noted previously, the Company is a start-up entity without prior operating history, revenues or income. No assurance or warranty can be made that the Company will be successful in its anticipated business operations and the nature of a start-up entity is that it poses significant risk factors as to whether any investor will receive back a return of investment or whether they will lose their entire investment. The initial capital of the Company was $25,000 of which approximately $59 was expended through April, 2000. It is anticipated that all initial capital will be expended in paying costs related to this registration. The accountants have noted in their notes to the financial statements, Note 5, that because the Company has no operating history and limited capitalization, the auditors must reserve opinion as to whether the Company may continue as a "going concern." Management has also expressed in the Risk Factors, and other sections of this registration, some concern that the capitalization may be too limited to adequately fund the intended business activities. Management has deemed that it must take this risk based upon its inability to obtain an underwritten Offering 14 for greater capital and has had to limit the amount of capital being raised to that which reasonably can be raised through management's efforts. Management believes, but cannot warrant, that such capital should be adequate to move the Company to a point where revenues are generated from the Company's product, if the product is commercially viable. Investors in this Offering are assuming a risk as to both liability of the product as a commercially marketable technology, as well as the normal risk inherent in a start-up entity with limited capitalization. Because no revenues have been generated to date, there does not exist any standard methodology to break down risk factors as to what sectors or clients, if any, may generate revenues, actual profit margins, costs of operation and other standard accounting and financial measurements. The lack of such financial standards and measurements must be considered as an additional risk factor to investors in this type of Offering. There is also a concern that actual costs of operation may substantially exceed the projections used by the Company in preparing the Use of Proceeds Section in which event the Company may have to spend more of the net proceeds of this Offering to sustain minimal operations and devote less to product development and marketing.

The following table sets forth the anticipated three most highly compensated officers or directors in the Corporation. As each investor has been advised, this is a start up entity in which no salaries have been paid to date. The following table attempts to set forth the anticipated salaries to be paid from revenues, if the Company is successful in this Offering. At present, there 17 is no plan to pay this salary from Offering proceeds beyond the initial six months, or to pay other salaries from proceeds. Further, it is anticipated that if the Company is successful in generating revenues, it will attempt to hire one or more other officers and employees to supply administrative and marketing services. The following chart then attempts to set forth the current stipend amount to be paid to the president, with reservation of salaries to other officers pending revenues. POSITION NAME OF CAPACITY IN WHICH AGGREGATE INDIVIDUAL OR REMUNERATION WILL REMUNERATION IDENTITY OF GROUP BE RECEIVED - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- All executive officers as a President $1,000/month-stipend from group and offering proceeds for the Other Officers president until and unless sufficient revenues are received for a period up to six months. Beginning anticipated salaries for all full-time officers are not yet determined and are contingent upon revenues. 18 SHARES OWNED BY MANAGEMENT AND CERTAIN SECURITY HOLDERS ------------------------------------------------------- The following table attempts to set forth all shares issued to a director, officer or 5% or greater shareholder. There are no created or issued stock options or other stock rights in the Company at the present time: Title or Class Name and Amount Amount Percent of Percent of Address of Owner owned owned Class Class before the after the Before After Offering Offering Offering Max. (Rounded) Offering (Rounded) - ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Common Terry Deru 625,000 same 49% 43% Stock Common Andrew Limpert 625,000 same 49% 43% Stock Common Robert Hunter 10,000 same .7% .6% Stock Common David Collier 10,000 same .7% .6% Stock THERE ARE NO OTHER SHAREHOLDERS WHICH OWN ANY OF THE OUTSTANDING STOCK PRIOR TO THE OFFERING. FURTHER ,THE COMPANY HAS NOT ADOPTED ANY FORM OF WARRANTS OR OPTION RIGHTS TO ANY PERSON WHO ACQUIRES STOCK. IT IS ANTICIPATED THAT IN THE EVENT OF THE SUCCESSFUL COMPLETION OF THIS OFFERING, THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS MAY AUTHORIZE AND APPROVE A STANDARD INCENTIVE STOCK OPTION PLAN. INTEREST OF MANAGEMENT AND OTHERS IN CERTAIN TRANSACTIONS --------------------------------------------------------- There are certain transactions related to the Company and this Offering which are not deemed to be "arms-length" transactions. That is, the parties on both sides of the contract or agreement have substantial relationships or common interests. While all such transactions are not set out in this section, the Company believes the following transactions involving management should be considered by each prospective investor. 1. The Distribution Contract, described earlier in the Offering, was not negotiated or derived between totally separate or disinterested parties. Mr. Limpert, on behalf of the Company, had substantial involvement and participation with the Supplier, ProSource Software, in the development and implementation of 19 the technology products subject to the distribution contract as a prior sales agent. As a result, each investor in this Offering should consider that the terms and provision of such distribution contract may not be the result of an arms-length bargaining agreement between two totally disinterested parties. 2. Management of the Company, particularly Mr. Limpert and Mr. Deru, have had a substantial prior business relationship and dealings as financial advisors and part owners of the Belsen Getty financial planning firm. As a result, they may bring with them historical relationships and interests which would not be the same as two totally disinterested parties being retained as officers and directors of a public company. 3. Each investor in the Offering should consider that even if the total Offering is sold, the prior management group, as described above, will continue in control and will be essentially in a position to dictate salaries, distributions, and other interests as to all shareholders. While there is a general common law or statutory obligation placed upon management of the Company to act in the best interest of all shareholders, each investor in this Offering should consider that minority shareholders status imposes a certain risk of not being in a position to influence or affect the direction of the Company. 4. Finally, the Company is most likely going to engage in some subsequent financing transactions in order to achieve its anticipated results. Each investor should understand that subsequent financing transactions will almost certainly result in a dilution of control by shareholders in value per share. SECURITIES BEING OFFERED ------------------------ Only the Company's voting common stock is being offered by this Prospectus. Of the Fifty- Million (50,000,000) shares of common stock authorized, $0.001 par, the Company presently has issued and outstanding 1,270,000 shares of common stock and will sell between 100,000 shares of common stock in the minimum offering and 200,000 shares in the maximum offering. If the minimum offering is sold, the shareholders purchasing in this Offering would hold 7.3 % of the issued and outstanding common stock and in the event of the maximum offering 13.61% of the issued and outstanding common stock. In summary of the nature of the securities being offered, each investor should note as follows: o The Company does not have any dividend policy nor has it declared dividends. It is not anticipated that dividends will be paid for the foreseeable future by the Company. o Each common share has an equal voting right. o There are no pre-emptive rights or cumulative voting in the Company. o The shares are not subject to any conversion rights or obligations, nor any redemptive provisions, sinking fund provisions, or liability to call or assessment. 20 o It is not believed that any shareholder under Utah law would be subject to any debts, liabilities or claims made against the Corporation. o The Company does not have any warrants, rights or other stock interest or rights to acquire stock; however, management will most likely institute some standard management stock option plan if this Offering is completed.

(a development stage enterprise) as of April 30, 2000 and the related statement of operations, stockholders' equity and cash flows for the period from February 1, 2000 (date of inception) through April 30, 2000. 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 audit. We conducted our audit in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audit provides 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 Kinship Systems, Inc. as of April 30, 2000 and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the period from February 1, 2000 (date of inception) through April 30, 2000 in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.
