You should carefully read the entire prospectus, including the section entitled "Risk Factors." All dollar amounts refer to United States dollars unless otherwise noted. Our Business As used in this prospectus, the reference to "we" and "Stratabid" and the business operations discussed in this prospectus refer to Stratabid.com, Inc. We are a startup stage Internet based commercial mortgage origination business. We intend to operate primarily through our wholly-owned subsidiary, Stratabid.com Online (B.C.) Ltd. which was formed pursuant to the laws of the Province of British Columbia on January 25, 2000. We plan to offer an online alternative for arranging commercial term mortgages. We plan to give borrowers the opportunity to apply directly to a qualified market of lenders interested in financing commercial properties. Borrowers will be able to log on to our online marketplace where they will find a home page featuring lenders' logos and links to three separate areas to work on their financing needs. We plan to retain contract underwriters who will review the borrower's applications. If the application is complete and meets our underwriting guidelines it will be forwarded to our member lenders who have expressed interest in financing such borrowers, based upon pre-determined configurations. The application will also be posted to a bulletin board where it can be viewed by all member lenders. The lenders will review the application and provide bids. We will then work with the borrower to document and close the loan. Loan transactions will be completed with no brokerage fees to the borrower. Our plan of business will provide two benefits to our member lenders. Firstly, we will provide a targeted forum to promote our member lenders' products and build their brand which is increasingly important in today's constantly changing mortgage market. Secondly, we will generate financing opportunities at no cost to our member lenders because a participating mortgage lender will not pay a fee to be listed on our website. A member lender only pays us a referral fee when and if a loan is consummated with the member lender. Please refer to "Risk Factors" for a discussion of some of the risks effecting our business and plan of business. Our corporate offices and operations are located at Suite 1400, 1500 West Georgia Street, Vancouver, British Columbia V6G 2Z6. Our telephone number is (604) 734-9844. We have one wholly-owned subsidiary, Stratabid.com Online (B.C.) Ltd., which maintains business offices at our principal business office in Vancouver. 1 Offering Summary Selling stockholders are offering for resale up to 504,000 shares of our common stock which they currently own. Stratabid will not be involved in the offer or sale of these shares other than registering such shares for resale pursuant to this prospectus. Stratabid is offering up to 500,000 shares of its common stock as summarized below: Common stock offered by the Company 500,000 shares Common stock outstanding before the offering 1,254,000 Common stock outstanding after the offering 1,754,000 (1) Offering Price $0.25 per share Use of proceeds Approximately $105,000 after expenses to further develop and refine our website, to market our services and for general working capital purposes. - --------------------------------------- (1) Assumes the sale of 500,000 shares by the Company. Summary of Consolidated Financial Data Year Ended Nine Months Nine Months December 31, 2001 Ended Ended September 30, 2001 September 30,2002 - ------------------------- ----------------- ------------------ ----------------- (Unaudited) Revenues $Nil $Nil $Nil Operating Expenses 16,226 11,250 70,304 Earnings (Loss) (16,226) (11,250) (70,304) Earnings (Loss) Per Share $(0.02) $(0.01) $(0.06) As at As at December 31, 2001 September 30, 2002 - ------------------------- ----------------- ------------------ (Unaudited) Total Assets $ 70 $ 7,778 Working Capital (Deficit) (1,180) (8,509) Stockholders' (Deficit) (1,180) (4,984) 2 RISK FACTORS An investment in our securities involves a high degree of risk. Before deciding whether to invest, you should read and consider carefully the following risk factors. We expect to incur losses in the near future which could jeopardize our long-term viability We have incurred losses since inception and we have generated only limited revenues. As of September 30, 2002, we had a working capital deficit of $8,509. Our net losses are expected to continue through at least the current fiscal year. As a result of our losses and negative cash flows from operations, our ability to continue operations will depend on our ability to generate revenues and the availability of outside financing for working capital. Assuming the sale of all 500,000 shares of common stock, the proceeds therefrom will be utilized over the next twelve months as specified in the Section "Use of Proceeds". If we are unable to generate sufficient revenues in the near future to cover our expenses or obtain outside capital to cover operating expenses, we may be unable to establish or maintain business operations. The Independent Auditor's Report contains a going concern explanation Our audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2001 were prepared on a going concern basis in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles. The going concern basis of presentation assumes that we will continue in operation for the foreseeable future and will be able to realize our assets and discharge our liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business. However, our auditor has indicated that our inability to generate sufficient revenue raises substantial doubt as to our ability to continue as a going concern. We have limited operating history with which to predict our future performance We are a start-up company and are in the process of setting up our business and website. We have only recently commenced our business operations and have generated only minimal revenues. As a result, we have only a limited operating history upon which an evaluation of our future performance can be made. Our prospects must be considered in light of the risks and difficulties encountered by new companies which have not yet established an operating track record. See "Business". We have generated only limited revenues from web-based services with which to pay operating expenses Our revenues will be derived primarily from referral fees paid by lenders who consummate loan transactions through our online mortgage brokerage service. Consequently, we may receive and process loan applications but receive no compensation for such services if no participating lenders bid on such application or if a loan transaction is not ultimately consummated between borrower and lender. Neither the borrower nor the lender pays any up-front fees and may terminate the loan application process at any time prior to consummating the loan transaction. We will receive no fee or cost reimbursements for loan transactions which are facilitated by our brokerage service but do not ultimately close. 3 The offering price of $0.25 per share was arbitrarily determined by us and is not based on any trading market value The price of our common stock offered hereby has been arbitrarily determined by us and bears no relationship to our earnings, book value or any other recognized criteria of value. Our shares are not currently traded on any stock market. Consequently, no established market value for our shares exists. As a result, there is no assurance that shares purchased pursuant to this prospectus can be resold at or above the offering price. We will need to raise additional capital in order to sustain current operations Because we have minimal revenues, we intend to fund our initial operations with additional outside capital. We estimate needing approximately $100,000 in the next 12 months to promote our web-based business. Although we are seeking to raise up to $125,000 in this offering, there is no assurance that this amount or any meaningful amount can be raised in this offering. If we are unable to obtain financing in the amounts and on terms acceptable to us, our business and future success will be adversely affected. We currently have no other plans or arrangements to raise capital for our business except for this offering. Our management has limited experience in raising capital, which may reduce the likelihood of obtaining capital. To date, we have relied on the sale of equity securities to meet our operational and capital requirements. Any future equity financing could result in dilution to our stockholders. Debt financing will result in interest expense and the risk we cannot repay the debt when due. If the commercial real estate financing industry does not adopt the electronic commerce market for its business, our Internet business could fail in the long term The success of our Internet based business will depend on several factors including: o Electronic commerce is still developing and may not be suitable for the commercial real estate financing industry and even if suitable, may not capture sufficient business to generate profitable operations; o The commercial real estate financing industry has traditionally relied on non-Internet based means of doing business; o We have no long term contracts or agreements with our customers or lenders and, as a result, we have no assurance of ongoing revenues; o Our ability to increase consumer awareness of and willingness to utilize Internet-based services to apply for commercial real estate loans; o Government regulation or taxation may adversely affect the users of electronic commerce. Any of the above factors could prevent our commercial real estate related Internet services and new products from attracting sufficient numbers of customers to result in profits. 4 Since we rely on one provider to host our website, our technical systems could fail if their service is interrupted Although we have back up facilities for our computer systems, we rely on one provider to host our website. If our website host failed to provide service to our systems, we would be unable to maintain website availability. Interruptions could result from natural disasters as well as power loss, telecommunications failure and similar events. Our business depends on the efficient and uninterrupted operation of our computer and communications hardware systems. Any system interruptions that cause our website to be unavailable could materially adversely affect our business. Furthermore, we will be depending on outside expertise to maintain and expand our website design and capabilities. There is no assurance that website consultants can be retained who will understand the needs of and have the solution for a desirable, user-friendly commercial mortgage website. We are developing products based on information we obtain from third parties in the commercial real estate financing industry, which could expose us to legal liability We may be subject to legal claims relating to the content in our website and related products. Some of the content proposed for our online marketplace may be drawn from data compiled by other parties, including governmental and commercial sources. We will then reformat that data and produce specialized products based on that market segment. This data may have errors. If our content is improperly used or if we supply incorrect information, it could result in unexpected liability. Our business, financial condition and operating results could suffer a material adverse effect if costs or losses resulting from these claims are not covered by our insurance or exceed our coverage. You will suffer immediate and substantial dilution Purchasers of the common stock offered hereby will suffer immediate and substantial dilution. See "Dilution" below. There is no trading market for our stock which will limit a stockholder's ability to buy and sell our stock No trading market currently exists for our common stock and no such market is expected to develop in the near future. Due to this lack of a trading market, stockholders will be limited in their ability to buy or sell our common stock. Consequently, stockholders may not be able to sell their stock in a timely manner or at a price they deem acceptable. Stratabid's President owns a controlling interest in the company allowing him to individually determine Stratabid's future direction Stratabid's President, Derek Wasson, currently beneficially owns almost 80% of the outstanding shares of Stratabid's common stock and would own over 43% assuming he sells 250,000 of his shares and Stratabid sells all 500,000 shares offered in this prospectus. Consequently, he is in a position to control or influence the election of a majority of directors and other matters subject to stockholder vote. See "Security Ownership of Certain Beneficial Owners and Management." 5 THE OFFERING We are registering, up to 500,000 shares of common stock for sale to the public. The common stock will be sold by our sole officer and director Derek Wasson, to investors inside and outside the United States. Other than possible reimbursement for out-of-pocket selling costs incurred by the officers and directors in their selling efforts and costs of preparing this prospectus, no commissions or other deductions will be paid from the proceeds raised. There is no minimum number of shares that must be sold on behalf of Stratabid in order to accept funds and consummate investor purchases. Determination of offering price We have arbitrarily determined the initial public offering price of the shares at $0.25 per share. We considered several factors in such determination. Including the following: o prevailing market conditions, including the history and prospects for the industry in which we compete; o our future prospects; and o our capital structure. Therefore, the public offering price of the shares does not necessarily bear any relationship to established valuation criteria and may not be indicative of prices that may prevail at any time or from time to time in the future. You cannot be sure that a public market for any of our securities will develop and continue or that the securities will ever trade at a price higher than the offering price in this offering. We are also registering on behalf of selling stockholders, for resale up to 504,000 shares of common stock. The shares of common stock offered for resale may be sold in a secondary offering by the selling stockholders by means of this prospectus. The shares will be sold at a price of $0.25 per share. Stratabid will not participate in the resale of shares by selling stockholders. USE OF PROCEEDS The proceeds from the sale of the shares of common stock offered by Stratabid are estimated to be up to $125,000 based on a public offering price of $0.25 per share. We intend to utilize the estimated proceeds during the twelve month period following this offering for the following purposes: 50% of Maximum Maximum Offering Amount Offering Amount Total Proceeds $ 62,500 $125,000 Expenses of Offering $ 15,000 $ 20,000 -------- --------- Net Proceeds from Offering $ 47,500 $105,000 Use of Net Proceeds Website Development $ 5,000 $ 5,000 Marketing and Advertising $ 15,000 $ 15,000 Working Capital* $ 27,500 $ 85,000 ---------------------- 6 *Working capital includes expenditures for hiring new employees, acquiring new office space, paying salary to the President of $18,000 over the next six months and repaying approximately $239 advanced to Stratabid by the President to cover start-up expenses. Working capital will also be used to pay various ongoing operating expenses. The above table assumes the sale of either 250,000 or 500,000 shares of common stock being offered by Stratabid. If less than all the shares are sold, the allocation of net proceeds would be approximately as follows: Website Development 10% Marketing and Advertising 40% Salary to President 30% Working Capital 20% Although the above table sets forth management's expected use of proceeds, management may adjust the allocation of proceeds to the uses set forth above based upon the amount of actual proceeds received and the operational needs of Stratabid. We will not receive any proceeds from the sale of the shares by the selling stockholders. If Stratabid fails to sell sufficient Shares to cover the expenses of this offering, Stratabid's President, Derek Wasson, has agreed to advance funds necessary to pay all offering expenses. DILUTION Our book value per share, as of September 30, 2002, was a negative $0.004 per share. Without taking into account any changes in our book value up to September 30, 2002 and giving effect to the sale by Stratabid of 500,000 shares of common stock offered hereby (after deducting estimated offering expenses payable by Stratabid) the pro forma book value at September 30, 2002, would have been approximately $100,016 or $0.057 per share. This amount represents an immediate dilution to new investors of $0.193 per share. The following table illustrates this dilution per share: Public offering price per share $0.25 Book Value per share a September 30, 2002 $(0.004) Book value per share after offering $0.057 Increase per share attributable to existing stockholders $0.061 Dilution per share to new investors $0.193 The following table sets forth, as of November 15, 2002, the number of shares of common stock outstanding and the percentage of shares of common stock purchased by the existing stockholders and by the investors purchasing shares of common stock in this offering: Share Purchased Number Percent ------------------------------------------- Existing Stockholders 1,254,000 71.5% New investors 500,000 28.5% ------------------------------------------- Total 1,754,000 100.00% ========= ======= 7 MARKET FOR OUR COMMON STOCK Our common stock is not quoted on any exchange and there is no public trading market. As of November 15, 2002 we had 1,254,000 issued and outstanding shares of common stock and 15 stockholders of record. We do not have any outstanding options, warrants or other arrangements providing for the issuance of additional shares of our capital stock. Of the 1,254,000 shares of common stock outstanding as of November 15, 2002, approximately 12,000 of these shares were eligible for resale pursuant to Rule 144 of the 1933 Act. Except for the shares being registered in this prospectus, we do not have any current intention or obligation to register any additional shares of common stock for sale. There is no public market for our common stock. Trades of our common stock, should a market ever develop, will be subject to Rule 15g-9 of the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"), which rule imposes certain requirements on broker/dealers who sell securities subject to the rule to persons other than established customers and accredited investors. For transactions covered by the rule, brokers/dealers must make a special suitability determination for purchasers of the securities and receive the purchaser's written agreement to the transaction prior to sale. The SEC also has rules that regulate broker/dealer practices in connection with transactions in "penny stocks". 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, provided that current price and volume information with respect to transactions in that security is provided by the exchange or system). The 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 prepared by the SEC that provides information about penny stocks and the nature and level of 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 bid and offer quotations, and the broker/dealer and salesperson compensation information, must be given to the customer orally or in writing prior to effecting the transaction and must be given to the customer in writing before or with the customer's confirmation. These disclosure requirements may have the effect of reducing the level of trading activity in the secondary market for our common stock. As a result of these rules, investors in this offering, even if a market for our shares ever develops, may find it difficult to sell their shares. The provisions in our Certificate of Incorporation allow our board of directors to issue preferred stock with rights, preferences and privileges superior to our common stock. The issuance of preferred stock with such rights may make the removal of management difficult even if such removal would be considered beneficial to stockholders generally. It would have the effect of limiting stockholder participation in certain transactions such as mergers or tender offers if such transactions are not favoured by our management. There are no shares of preferred stock outstanding, and there are no current plans, arrangements, commitments or undertakings to issue additional preferred stock. However, the board of directors has the authority to issue additional shares of preferred stock at any time up to the amount authorized in our Certificate of Incorporation. 8 DIVIDEND POLICY Holders of our common stock are entitled to receive such dividends as may be declared by our board of directors and, in the event of liquidation, to share pro rata in any distribution of our assets after payment of liabilities. We have not paid any dividends on our common stock and we do not have any current plans to pay any common stock dividends. FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS This prospectus contains forward-looking statements, as that term is defined in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These statements relate to future events or our future financial performance. In some cases, you can identify forward-looking statements by terminology such as "may," "should," "expects," "plans," "anticipates," "believes," "estimates," "predicts," "potential" or "continue" or the negative of these terms or other comparable terminology. These statements are only predictions and involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors, including the risks in the section entitled "Risk Factors," that may cause our or our industry's actual results, levels of activity, performance or achievements to be materially different from any future results, levels of activity, performance or achievements expressed or implied by these forward-looking statements. Although we believe that the expectations reflected in the forward-looking statements are reasonable, we cannot guarantee future results, levels of activity, performance or achievements. Except as required by applicable law, including the securities laws of the United States, we do not intend to update any of the forward-looking statements to conform these statements to actual results. BUSINESS Corporate History We were incorporated in the State of Delaware on January 14, 2000. On that date we issued 1,000,000 shares of our common stock to our initial founder, Steven Bruk for $1,000. Mr. Bruk developed the initial concept for our business but was unable to implement our business plan due to lack of financial resources and other commitments on his time. On January 25, 2001, Mr. Bruk sold his 1,000,000 shares of common stock to Derek Wasson. In connection with the acquisition by Mr. Wasson of the shares from Mr. Bruk, Mr. Bruk resigned as our sole director and officer and Derek Wasson was appointed in his place. Industry Overview According to Statistics Canada, an agency of the Canadian government, almost $50 billion in commercial mortgage transactions are made every year in Canada. Commercial mortgage transactions involve secured financing for the development or purchase of apartment, industrial, retail and office buildings. The past decade has been a time of significant change in the Canadian commercial mortgage market. The traditional large volume lenders, such as life insurance and trust companies, have merged or exited the market such that fewer lenders 9 are now engaged in the commercial lending business. We believe that trust companies are handling only a quarter of the business they did ten years ago while life insurance companies continue to be the largest volume lender that represent only about half of the number of companies as compared to ten years ago. Commercial banks have also been a source for commercial lending. However, due to mergers and consolidations, fewer banks now compete in this industry. New lenders in the commercial mortgage market include credit unions and caisse populaires which have made strong inroads into the commercial lending market along with several U.S. financial companies and MBS lenders who have also recently entered this market. As a result, the commercial mortgage market has become increasingly fragmented and confusing as viewed by the typical commercial mortgage borrower. Business of Stratabid Stratabid intends to create an Internet based solution for arranging commercial term mortgages. In order to take advantage of its streamlined processing procedures, and its lower cost basis, Stratabid will target term loans secured by income producing properties in amounts of between approximately $650,000 and $6,500,000 ($CAD 1 and $CAD 10 million). We believe that this loan size will comport to our online application process and underwriting review and provide the best application-to-consummation ratio. In addition, focusing on income producing properties is deemed to provide the most straightforward underwriting evaluation and lend themselves well to the abbreviated loan applications prepared on our website. To implement our strategic plan, we developed and launched our website in June 2002. The website address is "www.stratabid.com." Initially, website visitors could review the online loan application and utilize a mortgage calculator. As of October 1, 2002, the first four member lenders were added to the website which is now fully functional. Customers can now visit the website, learn about the services offered by Stratabid, review interest rates, use online tools to compare financing scenarios, and complete and submit a commercial property loan application. The application will be screened by a Stratabid underwriter, initially by Stratabid's President, and, if the application meets certain underwriting criteria, will be submitted to one or more member lenders for funding consideration. We plan to give borrowers the opportunity to apply directly to a qualified list of lenders interested in financing commercial properties. Borrowers will be able to log on to our online marketplace where they will find a home page with links to three separate areas to work on their financing needs. In one area they will find a set of software tools allowing borrowers to perform technical analysis such as compare interest rates, loan payments and amortization, financing scenario comparisons and pay-out calculations. A second area will be a showcase of our participating lenders ("member lenders") and their products. The third area will allow borrowers to complete an online application form and return it to us. We plan to contract with experienced loan underwriters who will review the applications. If the application is complete and meets our underwriting guidelines it will be forwarded to our member lenders who, based upon pre-determined configurations of each lender, have expressed interest in financing such borrowers. The application will also be posted to a bulletin board where it can be viewed by all member lenders. The lenders will review the application and if interested will provide bid letters to Stratabid which will forward them to the borrower. We will then work with the borrower and the lender 10 selected by the borrower to document and close the loan. Loan transactions will be completed with no brokerage fees to the borrower. Our plan of business will provide two benefits to our member lenders. Firstly, we will provide a targeted forum featuring lenders' logos to promote our member lenders' products and build their brand name which is increasingly important in today's constantly changing mortgage market. Secondly, we will generate financing opportunities at no cost to our member lenders who can be listed on our website for free. Our member lenders only pay referral fees to us when and if a loan transaction is consummated. Referral fees will range from 1/4% to 1/2% of the loan principal amount. Referral fee percentages will vary depending on the size and complexity of the loan with larger loans typically assessed a lower fee percentage. The referral fee will be negotiated by Stratabid with the particular member lender and documented in the closing loan documentation. We anticipate having a minimum of five member lenders by the end of the first quarter of 2003. Member lenders will agree to a one-year listing term with Stratabid during which term they will agree not to list their services with any other online commercial mortgage aggregator. These listing terms are oral arrangements at this time and Stratabid does not currently require a written agreement from the lender members. Listing terms can be renewed at the end of each term subject to request by the lender and approval by Stratabid. Our initial member lenders include TD Canada Trust, Maple Mortgage Trust, First Marathon Mortgage Corporation and Canada Life Mortgage Services, Inc. After the mortgage lending business is established, we plan to start soliciting for advertising on our website. We anticipate that various property service providers such as escrow companies, property managers, building contractors, etc. will pay a fee to have their advertising posted on our website. Member lenders will be charged a fee for advertising only if such member lender wishes to place advertising in addition to the lender listing provided at no charge. As of the date of this prospectus, no advertising had yet been added to our website. Stratabid will focus its business development in Canada, particularly in the Provinces of British Columbia, Alberta and Ontario. Stratabid's mission is to create Canada's first national online commercial mortgage brokerage service. Recent Events On July 5, 2002 we issued 254,000 shares of common stock to 14 investors at a price of .20 per share for gross proceeds to us of $50,800. The proceeds of this offering will be used to pay outstanding liabilities, further develop our website, www.stratabid.com, and for general working capital purposes. As of December 31, 2002, we had closed two financing transactions, a term loan of $1,550,000 which generated referal fees of $8,900 and a term loan of $650,000 which generated referal fees of $4,000. Through this offering we are attempting to raise additional capital to implement our plan of business. 11 Principal Products or Services Stratabid plans to provide an Internet-based marketplace where commercial mortgage borrowers and mortgage lenders come together to make commercial mortgage transactions. The online marketplace will be a "no user fee" commercial mortgage aggregator, which will offer the services of traditional mortgage brokers. We will provide commercial mortgage borrowers with a readily available website which will give them access to mortgage calculation tools, an online application capability and direct access to a list of qualified lenders who are interested in financing commercial properties. Borrowers will have the ease of making one loan application from the convenience of their own computer and promptly evaluated by qualified underwriters retained by Stratabid. Such underwriters will promptly review the application and either return it if it fails to meet underwriting guidelines or forward it to those member lenders who will be most likely to be interested in and bid for the loan transaction. The borrower also has the benefit of having to pay no fee for utilizing our services. As a commercial mortgage brokerage firm, we expect that lenders will be drawn to participate in our marketplace because it will generate financing opportunities in the market's most desirable segments. As mortgage origination is competitive and costly for lenders, our service is planned to generate deal opportunities for our member lenders with no upfront marketing costs. We also plan to provide the underwriting services required to document and evaluate each application and facilitate closing the loan. Our member lenders will pay a referral fee to us only when a deal has been successfully completed. As our business matures, we plan to add new services until we operate a fully integrated commercial real estate portal. Initially, such new services will include the addition of paid advertising by vendors and service providers. Up to $5,000 of proceeds from this offering will be utilized to design and display advertising on our website. Longer term services could include strategic partnerships with other related service providers and hosting commercial property listings. Our marketplace will also serve mortgage brokers that may represent commercial borrowers but lack the tools to identify financing sources. These mortgage brokers may be located away from major centers and lack access to the commercial lending market, or may be residential specialists that lack the expertise in commercial mortgage finance. A mortgage broker can utilize our services much like a borrower by submitting commercial mortgage applications on behalf of his or her clients. Stratabid will earn a referral fee if the loan is funded and the broker can bill his or her client for the services he or she has provided. In the future, we plan to create a broker center to service the mortgage brokerage community whereby brokers, for a fee, will be able to take advantage of customized online marketplace technologies and lender base as well as our underwriting services. Marketing Borrowers have traditionally arranged financing of commercial real estate properties in one of two ways: through lenders directly or through mortgage brokers. More recently, in the United Stated borrowers have been able to access mortgage funds online through commercial mortgage brokerage sites. 12 Lenders are the providers of funds for commercial mortgage financing. In the Canadian market, these lenders would include trust companies, life insurance companies, credit unions and caisse populaires. In addition, several United States based financial companies have been making inroads into the Canadian commercial mortgage market. In addition to providing mortgage funding, lenders also solicit mortgages directly from the borrowers. Our competitive edge over lenders is our ability to offer a borrower a list of member lenders to select from. Our application process allows a borrower to be considered by lenders for whom he/she is deemed to be a qualified applicant. In addition, a borrower could receive bids from more than one lender, thus giving the borrower a choice of lenders. From the lenders' point of view, our service provides a free marketing tool and the advantage of receiving only pre-screened mortgage applications. The lender is charged a referral fee only if and when a loan transaction is consummated. Our business plan involves working directly with established lenders to connect them with borrowers directly and by doing so replace the traditional mortgage brokers as intermediaries between borrowers and lenders. Traditional mortgage brokers market their financing expertise and market knowledge to borrowers. However, the transparency of our online marketplace will enable borrowers with quality commercial real estate financing opportunities to access a selection of lenders who can then bid on the opportunity similar to a broker, but without the fees typically associated with utilizing mortgage brokers. However, it is anticipated that many mortgage brokers, who represent under served areas or lack experience in commercial (as opposed to residential) mortgage lending, will find our online marketplace a convenient and cost effective method of securing a commercial mortgage for their client. We are aware of no online commercial mortgage brokerages currently based in Canada. In the United States, several companies offer an online commercial mortgage brokerage model. By being one of the first companies to offer this online mortgage loan capability in Canada, we hope to establish our web-based program and lender participation before other competitors enter the market. Competition Our principal sources of competition will include established lenders, traditional mortgage brokers and eventually other online mortgage originators. As an early entrant into the online commercial mortgage origination market in Canada, we will have to heavily promote our name and services in order to create consumer awareness. However, even if borrowers become aware of our services, there is no assurance that borrowers will choose to utilize our web-based services as an alternative to more traditional mortgage transactions with lenders or through a mortgage broker. There is the possibility that our online services will be utilized by fewer, perhaps less qualified borrowers which would result in fewer consummated transactions and lower revenues. Conversely, if we are successful in implementing our business plan by drawing significant numbers of qualified borrowers, we anticipate additional competition to be forthcoming very quickly. The mortgage brokerage business has relatively low barriers to entry which allow participates to enter the market with relative ease. Many of such competitors would have greater name recognition and financial resources than we do. As a result, competitors could acquire significant market 13 share. Our inability to generate awareness of our web-based services and establish competitive advantages in the commercial mortgage marketplace would have a material adverse effect on our operations and profitability. Intellectual Property, Government Approvals and Regulation Our trade name, web site designs and business plan are not protected by any patents or copyrights. Our website domain name is registered with Network Solutions, Inc. and our website is maintained by Combustion Hosting. We are not subject to government regulation nor do we require any government approvals in either Canada or the United States to provide Internet or web design services to our customers. We may be subject to regulations in the future if state or federal agencies choose to impose regulations applicable to the Internet. Persons performing mortgage broker services are subject to licensing by each Canadian province in which they do business. Mr. Wasson is a licensed mortgage broker in the Canadian provinces of Alberta, British Columbia and Ontario. No further licensing is required by Stratabid in order to carry-on its online mortgage brokerage business. Research and Development Expenditures During fiscal year 2001, we did not spend any funds on website research and development. We spent approximately $4,000 during the first nine months of 2002 for website research and development. Employees We currently have one full-time employee, Derek Wasson who is our sole officer and director. Mr. Wasson currently devotes substantially all of his time to the development and operation of Stratabid including the underwriting service on loan applications until a full-time mortgage underwriter is hired. Stratabid also utilizes the services of a public relations consultant and a web designer on an as needed basis. We expect to have one mortgage underwriter and one sales person on staff within the next nine months. The hiring of initial employees will depend on securing sufficient funding to cover employee costs. Hiring of other management, staff and consultants will occur incrementally as funds become available and the need arises. We have no collective bargaining agreement or employment agreements in existence. PROPERTY Our corporate and operational offices are located at Suite 1400, 1500 West Georgia Street, Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada V6G 2Z6 where we lease office space under a month-to-month lease at a rental rate of $250 a month. Rent for the first four months from January to April of 2002 was donated by the president of Stratabid. As of May 1, 2002, Stratabid has paid the monthly rent for this office space. We believe this space is sufficient at this time and plans to move to expanded office space are contingent upon completion of this offering and the hiring of full-time employees. We do not have any material assets and, as such, we do not own any real or personal property. 14 MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS AND PLAN OF OPERATIONS General The following discussion may contain forward-looking statements and projections. Because these forward-looking statements and projections are based on a number of assumptions and are subject to significant uncertainties and contingencies, many of which are beyond our control, there is no assurance that they will be realized, and actual results may vary significantly from those shown. Plan of Operations We were incorporated in the State of Delaware on January 14, 2000. Since inception, we have relied on equity financings to fund our operations. Funds required to finance our future Internet services, marketing efforts and ongoing business are expected to come primarily from debt and equity financing with the remainder provided from operating revenues. We have generated only limited operating revenues to date. Future financings may be necessary to meet our anticipated working capital needs over the current fiscal year. Potential sources of additional capital include private placements with institutional investors and/or a public offering of our common stock. Our plan of business encompasses the following steps. o Raise capital of up to $125,000 through the sale of equity securities o During the next twelve months develop and refine our website including expending approximately $5,000 to design and display vendor advertising. o Continue discussions with additional mortgage lenders with the goal of adding four more member lenders during the next four months. The cost of this effort is estimated at $2,000. o Aggressively market our commercial mortgage services including print advertising commencing in or about November 2002 and hosting a booth at the International Conference of Shopping Centers ("ICSC") in Whistler,B.C. in January. Print advertising is estimated to cost $350 over the next 52 weeks while the participation in the ICSC conference is estimated to cost $3,000. o Payment of President's annual salary of $36,000. o Six months of business consulting fees aggregating $9,000. o During the next twelve months, hire and train a mortgage underwriter, a sales/marketing person and one or more support staff which is estimated to cost $27,000. All of the above milestones are expected to be financed primarily from the proceeds of this offering and to a lesser extent by operating revenues and outside capital investment. We have made initial progress in implementing our business. Our website, www.stratabid.com became active in June 2002 and the first four member lenders were added to the website as of October 1, 2002. 15 We will face considerable risks in each step of our business plan, such as the anticipated difficulty in persuading the commercial real estate financing industry to embrace the Internet. Other anticipated challenges include finding and developing our employees, meeting increasing competitive pressures and overcoming continuing negative economic conditions which tend to reduce commercial property development and investment. We hope to begin generating revenues from operations in by early 2003, but we do not anticipate generating positive cash flow during the first year of operations. Therefore, we anticipate obtaining the capital which we will require to fund operations and growth through a combination of debt and equity financing. We anticipate that in the next 12 months, we will need approximately $100,000 to establish and promote our web-based business. Consequently, if we raise the maximum proceeds in this offering ($125,000), we would expect to have sufficient funds to meet cash requirement for the next 12 months. If we raise only 50% of the maximum proceeds ($62,500), we would expect to have sufficient funds to meet cash requirements for the next 6-8 months assuming a program of reduced capital expenditures would be implemented. There is no assurance that we will be able to obtain necessary amounts of capital or that our estimates of our capital requirements will prove to be accurate. As of the date of this prospectus we did not have any commitments from any source to provide additional capital. If lesser amounts of proceeds are realized from this offering, we would curtail print advertising expenditures and delay the hiring of full-time staff and securing larger office space. We will be forced to rely on our existing cash in the bank and funds loaned by management if insufficient investment capital threatens our ongoing operations. Our management has no formal commitments or arrangements to advance or loan funds to us. In such a restricted cash flow scenario, we would be unable to complete our business plan, and would, instead, delay all cash intensive activities. Without necessary cash flow, we may be able to sustain only limited operations until such time as necessary funds can be raised. Results of Operation Nine Months ended September 30, 2002 and September 30, 2001 - ----------------------------------------------------------- We have only recently commenced operations and, as a result, as of September 30, 2002 we had not yet received any revenues. Start-up expenses of $70,304 in the first nine months of 2002 increased substantially over the comparable period in fiscal year 2001 which had start-up expenses of $11,250. This increase represents our continued development in preparation of commencing operations during fiscal year 2002. Professional and consulting fees were approximately $42,000 in the first nine months of 2002 as we are using outside consultants in such areas as legal, accounting, web design and marketing in developing our business. Included in operating expenses in the nine months ended September 30, 2002 is $3,000 of donated services and rent compared to $11,250 of donated services and rent for the nine months ended September 30, 2001. We anticipate receiving additional donated services and rent until additional funding is obtained. We incurred a net loss of $70,304 during the nine months ended September 30, 2002 compared to a net loss of $11,250 during the nine months ended September 16 30, 2001. This increase in net loss reflects the significant increase in the operating expenses relating to our preparations for and commencement of business operations during fiscal year 2002 as discussed above. Liquidity and Capital Resources We have incurred losses since the inception of our business (January 14, 2000), and, as of September 30, 2002, we have an accumulated deficit of $87,484. At September 30, 2002, we had cash and cash equivalents of $4,157 and net working capital deficit of $8,509. To date, we have funded our operations through a combination of short-term debt and the issuance of common stock. During the first nine months of fiscal year 2002, we had raised $50,800 from the sale of 254,000 shares of common stock through private placement channels. We also realized $3,000 of donated services and rent from a related party. We expect our expenses will continue to increase during the foreseeable future as a result of increased marketing expenses and the development of our website. We are dependent on the proceeds from future debt or equity investments to commence our operations and implement our business plan. If we are unable to raise sufficient capital, we will be required to delay or forego some portion of our business plan, which may have a material adverse effect on our anticipated results from operations and financial condition. Alternatively, we may seek interim financing in the form of bank loans, private placement of debt or equity securities, or some combination of these. Such interim financing may not be available in the amounts or at the times when we require, and will likely not be on terms favourable to us. MANAGEMENT Directors and Executive Officers Our director and executive officer, and his age and positions, and duration as such, are as follows: Name Position Age Director Since - ------------ ------------------ --- -------------- Derek Wasson President, Secretary, Chief Financial 37 January 25, 2001 Officer and Director Business Experience The following is information on the business experience of our officer and director.

After six months, if a monthly salary cannot be sustained by Stratabid, Mr. Wasson expects to continue receiving consulting fees of up to $2,875 per month which would be paid periodically when and if funds are available to do so. Mr. Wasson's salary is intended to provide a regular monthly amount paid semi-monthly. Mr. Wasson's consulting fees reflect an irregular, variable amount paid when and if funds are available to do so. Employment/Consulting Agreements We do not have any employment agreements. We have entered into a consulting agreement with Big Sky Management Ltd. of Vancouver, British Columbia dated March 21, 2002 pursuant to which we have retained Big Sky Management Ltd. to serve as our financial consultant in connection with our organization and financing. We have agreed to pay Big Sky 18 Management Ltd. the sum of $1,500 per month. As of September 30, 2002, Big Sky Management had been paid consulting fees of $12,000. This consulting agreement may be terminated by either party with 30 days notice. We have also agreed to reimburse Big Sky Management Ltd. for all out of pocket expenses incurred by it. Neither Big Sky Management nor any of its employees are affiliates of Stratabid. Stock Option Plan We do not have a stock option plan and we have not issued any warrants, options or other rights to acquire our securities. Employee Pension, Profit Sharing or other Retirement Plans We do not have a defined benefit, pension plan, profit sharing or other retirement plan, although we may adopt one or more of such plans in the future. Director's Compensation At present we do not pay our directors for attending meetings of our Board of Directors, although we expect to adopt a director compensation policy in the future. We have no standard arrangement pursuant to which our directors are compensated for any services provided as a director or for committee participation or special assignments. Limitation of liability and indemnification matters The General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware permits indemnification of directors, officers, and employees of corporations under certain conditions subject to certain limitations. Article XIII of our Certificate of Incorporation states that we may provide indemnification of our agents, including our officers and directors to the maximum extent permitted by the Delaware Corporation Law. In the event that a claim for indemnification (other than the payment by us of expenses incurred or paid by our sole director and officer 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 appropriate and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue. Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, we have been advised that in the opinion of the Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS Except as otherwise indicated below, we have not been a party to any transaction, proposed transaction, or series of transactions in which the amount involved exceeds $60,000, and in which, to our knowledge, any of our directors, officers, five percent beneficial security holder, or any member of the immediate family of the foregoing persons has had or will have a direct or indirect material interest. 19 Should a transaction, proposed transaction, or series of transactions involve an officer or director of Stratabid or a related entity or an affiliate of a related entity, or holders of stock representing 5% or more of the voting power (a "related entity") of the then outstanding voting stock, the transactions must be approved by the unanimous consent of our board of directors. In the event a member of the board of directors is a related party, that member will abstain from the vote. We have issued shares of our common stock or approved the sale of our common stock to the following persons during the past two years, who, at the time of issuance, were affiliated with us: Name Date of Issuance Number of Shares Share Value Consideration ----------- ---------------- ---------------- ----------- ------------- Steven Bruk 01/00 1,000,000 $1,000 Cash Due to the fact that Steven Bruk originally founded our corporate entity, he could be deemed a promoter of Stratabid. He originally paid $1,000 for his 1,000,000 share of stock upon formation in January, 2000. On January 25, 2001, Mr. Bruk sold the 1,000,000 shares held by him to Derek Wasson for $1,000. In addition, Mr. Bruk resigned as our sole officer and director and Mr. Wasson was appointed in his place. Derek Wasson has been paid approximately $13,400 in consulting fees from March 2002 to September 2002. Commencing November 1, 2002 Stratabid intends to pay Mr. Wasson a monthly salary of $3,000 but only to the extent funds are available to do so without curtailing Stratabid's operational requirements. If a monthly salary cannot be sustained, Stratabid will continue to pay a consulting fee of approximately $2,875 per month periodically as and if funds are available to do so. On June 12, 2002, Mr. Wasson was repaid a non-interest bearing demand promissory note in the principal amount of $7,500. As of September 30, 2002, Mr. Wasson had advanced approximately $1,550 including a $250 loan to Stratabid for the purpose of paying various costs and expenses associated with establishing its business and website. Mr. Wasson was repaid $1,311 of this amount with the balance not bearing interest and is payable upon demand. This amount is intended to be repaid from the proceeds of this offering. SECURITY OWNERSHIP OF CERTAIN BENEFICIAL OWNERS AND MANAGEMENT The following table sets forth, as of October 15, 2002, information with respect to those persons owning beneficially 5% or more of our outstanding common stock and the number and percentage of outstanding shares owned by each of our director and officer and by our officers and directors as a group. Unless otherwise indicated, each owner has sole voting and investment powers over his shares of common stock. 20 Name and Address Shares of Common Stock Percent of Class - ---------------- ---------------------- ---------------- Derek Wasson 1,000,000 79.8% 1675 Larch Street Vancouver, BC V3K 3N7 All Officer and Directors as a Group 1,000,000 79.8% (1 Individual) PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION We are offering up to 500,000 shares of our common stock at $0.25 per share. The common stock will be sold through our sole officer and director, Derek Wasson to investors located both inside and outside the United States. Our shares will be sold on a "best efforts" basis with no minimum amount of common stock that we must sell in order to accept purchasers. No commissions are being paid in connection with the offering. Expenses related to the offering are estimated to be $20,000 which will be paid by us from the proceeds of this offering. In addition, the selling stockholders may, from time to time, sell up to 504,000 shares of common stock which they own. The selling stockholders may sell all or a portion of the shares of common stock in privately negotiated transactions or otherwise. Such sales will be offered at $0.25 per share unless and until the offering price is changed by subsequent amendment to this prospectus or our shares are quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board. If our shares become listed on the OTC Bulletin Board, selling shareholders may then sell their shares at prevailing market prices or privately negotiated prices. The shares of common stock may be sold by the selling stockholders by one or more of the following methods, without limitation: (a) block trades in which the broker or dealer so engaged will attempt to sell the shares of common stock as agent but may position and resell a portion of the block as principal to facilitate the transaction; (b) ordinary brokerage transactions and transactions in which the broker solicits purchasers; (c) privately negotiated transactions; and (d) a combination of any aforementioned methods of sale. Derek Wasson will be offering the shares of common stock being offered by Stratabid. Mr. Wasson is not a registered broker-dealer but will be offering the Stratabid shares pursuant to an exemption from such broker-dealer registration pursuant to Rule 3a4-1 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the "Exchange Act"). Mr. Wasson will receive no selling commissions or other renumeration in conjunction with his offering of the shares on behalf of Stratabid. Mr. Wasson has also registered 250,000 shares of his own to be sold pursuant to this prospectus. Mr. Wasson will sell his shares at $0.25 per share unless and until the offering price is changed by subsequent amendment to this prospectus. Mr. Wasson will first attempt to sell the 500,000 shares being offered by Stratabid. Only after at least 50% of the shares offered by Stratabid have been sold, will 21 he attempt to sell his own shares. The offering of shares by the selling shareholders will run concurrently with the offering of shares on behalf of Stratabid. In this regard, the selling shareholders, with the exception of Derek Wasson, will be competing with Stratabid for the sale of shares. Brokers or dealers may receive commissions or discounts from the selling stockholders or, if any of the broker-dealers act as an agent for the purchaser of said shares, from the purchaser in amounts to be negotiated which are not expected to exceed those customary in the types of transactions involved. Broker-dealers may agree with the selling stockholders to sell a specified number of the shares of common stock at a stipulated price per share. In connection with such resales, the broker-dealer may pay to or receive from the purchasers of the shares, commissions as described above. The selling stockholders may also sell the shares of common stock in accordance with Rule 144 under the Securities Act, rather than pursuant to this prospectus. The selling stockholders and any broker-dealers or agents that participate with the selling stockholders in the sale of the shares of common stock may be deemed to be "underwriters" within the meaning of the Securities Act in connection with these sales. In that event, any commissions received by the broker-dealers or agents and any profit on the resale of the shares of common stock purchased by them may be deemed to be underwriting commissions or discounts under the Securities Act. Furthermore, selling stockholders are subject to Regulation M of the Exchange Act. Regulation M prohibits any activities that could artificially influence the market for Stratabid's common stock during the period when shares are being sold pursuant to this prospectus. Consequently, selling stockholders, particularly those who are officers and directors of Stratabid, must refrain from directly or indirectly attempting to induce any person to bid for or purchase the common stock being offered with any information not contained in this prospectus. Regulation M also prohibits any bids or purchases made in order to stabilize the price of Stratabid's common stock in connection with the stock offered pursuant to this prospectus. A selling stockholder may enter into hedging transactions with broker-dealers and the broker-dealers may engage in short sales of our common stock in the course of hedging the positions they assume with such selling stockholder, including, without limitation, in connection with the distribution of our common stock by such broker-dealers or pursuant to exemption from such registration. A selling stockholder may also enter into option or other transactions with broker-dealers that involve the delivery of the common stock to the broker-dealers, who may then resell or otherwise transfer such common stock. A selling stockholder may also loan or pledge the common stock to a broker-dealer and the broker-dealer may sell the common stock so loaned or upon default may sell or otherwise transfer the pledged common stock. Purchasers who acquire their shares in this offering will be required to sign a "Risk Acknowledgement Form" required by the British Columbia Securities Commission as part of Stratabid's compliance with securities regulations in British Columbia, Canada. This Form relates only to the offering of shares in British Columbia, Canada. Signing this Form will have no affect or restriction on the registration of the Shares under U.S. Federal and State securities regulations. Under the securities laws of certain states, the shares of common stock may be sold in such states only through registered or licensed brokers or dealers or 22 persons exempt from such registration. The selling stockholders are advised to ensure that any brokers, dealers or agents affecting transactions on behalf of the stockholders are registered to sell securities in such states. In addition, in certain states the shares of common stock may not be sold unless the shares have been registered or qualified for sale in such state or an exemption from registration or qualification is available and is complied with. All expenses of the registration statement estimated to be $20,000 including but not limited to, legal, accounting, printing and mailing fees are and will be paid by us. We have agreed to pay the incremental costs of including the selling stockholders' shares in this prospectus. However, any selling costs or brokerage commissions incurred by each selling stockholder relating to the sale of his/her shares will be paid by the selling stockholder. SELLING STOCKHOLDERS Set forth below is a list of all stockholders who may sell shares pursuant to this prospectus. The number of shares column represents the number of shares owned by the selling stockholder prior to the offering.

DESCRIPTION OF SECURITIES Our authorized capital stock consists of 30,000,000 shares of common stock, $.0001 par value, and 5,000,000 shares of preferred stock, $.0001 par value. As of November 15, 2002, there were 1,254,000 shares of common stock outstanding and no preferred stock outstanding. Common Stock Holders of common stock are each entitled to cast one vote for each share held of record on all matters presented to our stockholders. Cumulative voting is not allowed; therefore, the holders of a majority of the outstanding common stock can elect all directors. Holders of our common stock are entitled to receive such dividends as may be declared by our board of directors out of funds legally available for dividends and, in the event of liquidation, to share pro rata in any distribution of our assets after payment of liabilities. Our board of directors is not obligated to declare a dividend. It is not anticipated that dividends will be paid in the foreseeable future. Holders of our common stock do not have pre-emptive rights to subscribe to additional shares if issued by us. There are no conversion, redemption, sinking fund or similar provisions regarding the common stock. Preferred Stock Our Certificate of Incorporation provides that our board of directors has the authority to divide the preferred stock into series and, within the limitations provided by Delaware statute, to fix by resolution the voting power, designations, preferences, and relative participation, special rights, and the qualifications, limitations or restrictions of the shares of any series so established. As our board of directors has authority to establish the terms of, and to issue, the preferred stock without stockholder approval, the preferred stock could be issued to defend against any attempted takeover of us. The relative rights and privileges of holders of common stock may be adversely affected by the rights of holders of any series of preferred stock which Stratabid may designate and issue in the future. Options and Warrants We have not yet issued any options, warrants or other rights to acquire our securities.

(A Development Stage Company) We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Stratabid.com, Inc. (A Development Stage Company) as of December 31, 2001 and 2000 and the related consolidated statements of operations, cash flows and stockholders' equity accumulated for the period from January 14, 2000 (Date of Inception) to December 31, 2001 and the year ended December 31, 2001 and from January 14, 2000 (Date of Inception) to December 31, 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 audits. We conducted our audits in accordance with U.S. 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 audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion. In our opinion, the aforementioned consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Stratabid.com, Inc. (A Development Stage Company), as of December 31, 2001 and 2000, and the results of its operations and its cash flows accumulated for the period from January 14, 2000 (Date of Inception) to December 31, 2001 and the year ended December 31, 2001 and from January 14, 2000 (Date of Inception) to December 31, 2000, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 1 to the financial statements, the Company has not generated any revenues or profitable operations since inception and will need equity financing to begin realizing upon its business plan. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. Management's plans in regard to these matters are also discussed in Note 1. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty. /s/ "Manning Elliott" CHARTERED ACCOUNTANTS Vancouver, Canada April 2, 2002 F-1 (The accompanying notes are an integral part of the financial statements) Stratabid.com, Inc.

Development Stage Company Stratabid.com, Inc. herein (the "Company") was incorporated in the State of Delaware, U.S.A. on January 14, 2000. The Company is a start-up stage Internet based commercial mortgage origination business based in Vancouver, BC, Canada. The Company offers an online alternative for arranging commercial term mortgages. The Company gives borrowers the opportunity to apply directly to a qualified market of lenders interested in financing their asset. Borrowers will be able to log on to a website where they will find a home page featuring lenders logos and links to three separate areas to work on their financing needs. In one area they will find a set of software tools to do technical analysis such as compare interest rates, loan payments, amortizations, financing scenario comparisons and payout calculations. Another area will be a showcase of the lending partners and their products. In the last area borrowers will complete an online application form and return it to the website. An experienced underwriter for the Company will review and forward it to the lending partners to provide quotes on the deal. The lender that is successful in arranging the financing will pay the Company a referral fee for the business. For lending partners the Company provides two benefits. Firstly it provides a targeted forum to promote their products and build their brand, which is increasingly important in today's constantly changing mortgage market. Secondly it generates financing opportunities at no cost. The lenders only pay referral fees when successful in arranging a loan. The Company is in the early development stage. In a development stage company, management devotes most of its activities in developing a market for its products and services. Planned principal activities have not yet begun. The ability of the Company to emerge from the development stage with respect to any planned principal business activity is dependent upon its successful efforts to raise additional equity financing and/or attain profitable operations. There is no guarantee that the Company will be able to raise any equity financing or sell any of its products and services at a profit. There is substantial doubt regarding the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. The Company plans to raise equity funds through a Registration Statement to be filed with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission. Pursuant to a private placement Offering Memorandum, the Company issued 254,000 common shares at $0.20 per share for total cash consideration of $50,800. 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (a) Consolidated Financial Statements These financial statements include the accounts of Stratabid.com, Inc. and its wholly-owned Canadian subsidiary Stratabid.com Online (B.C.) Ltd. All inter-company balances have been eliminated. (b) Year End The Company's fiscal year end is December 31. F-6 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued) (c) Cash and Cash Equivalents The Company considers all highly liquid instruments with a maturity of three months or less at the time of issuance to be cash equivalents. Included in cash is a term deposit in the amount of Cnd$5,750 (USD$3,692) which is being pledged as security for the Company's credit card. (d) Property, Plant and Equipment Property, plant and equipment is stated at cost. Amortization is computed on a 30% declining balance basis. (e) Website Development Costs The Company's website is currently being developed. Costs associated with the website will consist primarily of software purchased from a third party. The Company is capitalizing costs of computer software obtained for internal use in web design and network operations. These capitalized costs will be amortized based on their estimated useful life over three years. Payroll and related costs will not be capitalized, as the amounts principally relate to maintenance. Internal costs related to the development of website content will be expensed as incurred. (f) Long-Lived Assets In accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 121, Accounting for the Impairment of Long Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed Of, the carrying value of intangible assets and other long-lived assets is reviewed on a regular basis for the existence of facts or circumstances that may suggest impairment. The Company recognizes an impairment when the sum of the expected undiscounted future cash flows is less than the carrying amount of the asset. Impairment losses, if any, are measured as the excess of the carrying amount of the asset over its estimated fair value. (g) Foreign Currency Translation Revenue, expenses and non-monetary balance sheet items are translated into US dollars at the rate of exchange prevailing on the transaction dates. Monetary balance sheet items are translated at the rate prevailing at the balance sheet date. The resulting exchange gain or loss is charged to operations. (h) Revenue Recognition The Company will receive from lenders a referral fee when the Company is successful in arranging a loan. The referral fee revenue will be recognized in the period the fee is earned. This policy is prospective in nature, as the Company has not yet generated any revenues. F-7 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued) (i) Basic and Diluted Net Income (Loss) Per Share The Company computes net income (loss) per share in accordance with SFAS No. 128, "Earnings per Share" (SFAS 128). SFAS 128 requires presentation of both basic and diluted earnings per share (EPS) on the face of the income statement. Basic EPS is computed by dividing net income (loss) available to common shareholders (numerator) by the weighted average number of shares outstanding (denominator) during the period. Diluted EPS gives effect to all dilutive potential common shares outstanding during the period including stock options, using the treasury stock method, and convertible preferred stock, using the if-converted method. In computing Diluted EPS, the average stock price for the period is used in determining the number of shares assumed to be purchased from the exercise of stock options or warrants. Diluted EPS excludes all dilutive potential shares if their effect is anti dilutive. (j) Use of Estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the periods. Actual results could differ from those estimates. (k) Financial Instruments The fair values of cash and equivalents, accounts payable, accrued liabilities, and due to a related party were estimated to approximate their carrying values due to the immediate or short-term maturity of these financial instruments. The Company operates in Canada and virtually all of its assets and liabilities are giving rise to significant exposure to market risks from changes in foreign currency rates. The financial risk is the risk to the Company's operations that arise from fluctuations in foreign exchange rates and the degree of volatility of these rates. Currently, the Company does not use derivative instruments to reduce its exposure to foreign currency risk. (l) Interim Financial Statements The interim unaudited consolidated financial statements for the nine months ended September 30, 2002 and 2001 have been prepared on the same basis as the annual financial statements and in the opinion of management, reflect all adjustments, which include only normal recurring adjustments, necessary to present fairly the Company's financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the periods shown. The results of operations for such periods are not necessarily indicative of the results expected for a full year or for any future period. F-8 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued) (m) Recent Accounting Pronouncements On June 29, 2001, SFAS No. 141, "Business Combinations," was approved by the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB"). SFAS No. 141 requires that the purchase method of accounting be used for all business combinations initiated after June 30, 2001. Goodwill and certain intangible assets will remain on the balance sheet and not be amortized. On an annual basis, and when there is reason to suspect that their values have been diminished or impaired, these assets must be tested for impairment, and write-downs may be necessary. The Company implemented SFAS No. 141 on July 1, 2001 and its impact is not expected to be material on its financial position or results of operations. On June 29, 2001, SFAS No. 142, "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets," was approved by FASB. SFAS No. 142 changes the accounting for goodwill from an amortization method to an impairment-only approach. Amortization of goodwill, including goodwill recorded in past business combinations, will cease upon adoption of this statement. The Company adopted SFAS No. 142 on April 1, 2002 and its impact is not expected to have a material effect on its financial position or results of operations. In June 2001, the FASB issued SFAS No. 143, "Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligation." SFAS No. 143 is effective for fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2002, and will require companies to record a liability for asset retirement obligations in the period in which they are incurred, which typically could be upon completion or shortly thereafter. The FASB decided to limit the scope to legal obligations and the liability will be recorded at fair value. The effect of adoption of this standard on the Company's results of operations and financial positions is being evaluated. In August 2001, the FASB issued SFAS No. 144, "Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets." SFAS No. 144 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2001. It provides a single accounting model for long-lived assets to be disposed of and replaces SFAS No. 121 "Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and Long-Lived Assets to Be Disposed Of." The Company adopted SFAS No. 144 on April 1, 2002. The effect of adoption of this standard on the Company's results of operations and financial position is not expected to be material. In June, 2002, FASB issued SFAS No. 146, "Accounting for Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities". The provisions of this Statement are effective for exit or disposal activities that are initiated after December 31, 2002, with early application encouraged. This Statement addresses financial accounting and reporting for costs associated with exit or disposal activities and nullifies Emerging Issues Task Force (EITF) Issue No. 94-3, "Liability Recognition for Certain Employee Termination Benefits and Other Costs to Exit an Activity (including Certain Costs Incurred in a Restructuring)". This Statement requires that a liability for a cost associated with an exit or disposal activity be recognized when the liability is incurred. The F-9 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued) (m) Recent Accounting Pronouncements (continued) Company will adopt SFAS No. 146 on January 1, 2003. The effect of adoption of this standard on the Company's results of operations and financial position is being evaluated. FASB has also issued SFAS No. 145 and 147 but they will not have any relationship to the operations of the Company therefore a description of each and their respective impact on the Company's operations have not been disclosed. 3.

Related Party Transactions/Balances The business plan the Company currently intends to exploit was developed by the President and sole shareholder of the Company on behalf of the Company during the period ended and fiscal 2001. There was no charge to the Company for these services valued at $1,000 per month. Rent and office costs valued at $250 per month were paid for by this related party at no cost to the Company. These services and costs, valued at $18,000, are treated as donated capital and charged to operations. The President of the Company was paid Cnd$21,000 (USD$13,422) for consulting services during the nine months ended September 30, 2002. A loan of $239 is due to the President of the Company on an unsecured, non-interest bearing, demand basis. During the period, a note payable of $7,500 was due to the President of the Company on an unsecured, non-interest bearing, demand basis. This note was repaid on June 12, 2002 out of proceeds from a private placement. In fiscal 2000 a total of 1,000,000 common shares were issued to the President of the Company for $210 cash and $790 of organizational expenses paid on behalf of the Company.

Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers, or persons controlling us pursuant to the foregoing provisions, we have been informed that, in the opinion of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, that type of indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is therefore unenforceable. Item 25. Other Expenses of Issuance and Distribution. The following table sets forth the costs and expenses payable by us in connection with the issuance and distribution of the securities being registered hereunder. No expenses shall be borne by the selling stockholder. All of the amounts shown are estimates, except for the SEC Registration Fees. SEC Filing Fee $ 24 Blue Sky Fees and Expenses 100 Printing and Engraving Expenses 500 Legal Fees and Expenses 15,000 Accounting Fees and Expenses 3,000 Miscellaneous Expenses 1,000 ----- TOTAL $ 19,624 ======== Item 26. Recent Sales of Unregistered Securities. The following information sets forth all securities which have been sold during the last three years by us and which securities were not registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. Unless otherwise indicated, the consideration paid for the shares was cash. In January 2000, we sold 1,000,0000 shares of our common stock to Steven Bruk, our initial founder, for $1,000. The sale of these shares was made in conjunction with the initial formation of Stratabid to the founder in a private transaction which was deemed exempt from registration pursuant to Section 4(2) of the 1933 Act. 2 On July 5, 2002 we sold 254,0000 shares of our common stock to 14 investors, all of whom reside in British Columbia, Canada and are not deemed to be "U.S. persons" as that term is defined under Regulation S. The investors represented that they were purchasing such shares for their own account. Both the offer and the sale of the shares were made outside the United States and are deemed to be "offshore transactions" as that term is defined under Regulation S. The share certificates contain a legend indicating that such shares can only be transferred in compliance with the provisions of Regulation S. In light of the foregoing, such sales were deemed exempt from registration pursuant to Regulation S of the 1933 Act. Item 27.

Undertakings 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. (i) To include any prospectus required by Section l0(a)(3) of the Securities Act of l933; (ii) To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of the Registration Statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in the Registration Statement; 3 (iii) To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of the Registration Statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in the registration statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than a 20% change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the "Calculation of Registration Fee" table in the effective registration statement; and (iv) To include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the Registration Statement or any material change to such information in the Registration Statement, including (but not limited to) any addition or deletion of a managing underwriter. (2) That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act of l933, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof. (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. (4) Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of l933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the Registrant, 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 Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the Registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the Registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the Registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question of whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue. 4 SIGNATURES In accordance with the requirements of the Securities Act of l933, the Registrant certifies that it has reasonable grounds to believe that it meets all of the requirements for filing this Registration Statement on Form SB-2 and authorized this Registration Statement to be signed on our behalf by the undersigned, thereunto duly authorized, in Vancouver, British Columbia, on the 17th day of January, 2003.
