The President's Notice of Meeting and the accompanying Proxy describe the business of the Special Meeting of Shareholders. The enclosed Proxy statement is being furnished to shareholders of record on October 1, 2003 of eTOTALSOURCE, INC. ("ETLS"), a Colorado corporation, in connection with the following proposals. YOU ARE REQUESTED TO SEND US A PROXY The holders of a majority of a quorum of one third of the issued and outstanding shares entitled to vote have indicated that they intend to vote in favor of the following proposal. Proposal 1: To Authorize the officers and directors of the Company to amend the Company's Articles of Incorporation to increase the number of Common Shares authorized from twenty million (20,000,000) to one hundred million (100,000,000). Sincerely, /s/Terry Eilers ------------------------- Terry Eilers, President 2 UNITED STATES SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION PROXY STATEMENT PURSUANT TO SECTION 14(a) OF THE SECURITIES EXCHANGE ACT OF 1934 AND RULE 14A PROMULGATED THERETO eTOTALSOURCE, INC. SPECIAL MEETING OF SHAREHOLDERS November 6, 2003 This Proxy Statement is being furnished to Shareholders of eTOTALSOURCE, INC. ("ETLS") in connection with the Special Meeting of Shareholders (the "Meeting") to be held on Friday, November 21, 2003 and at any adjournments thereof (the "Meeting"). The Meeting will be held at 1510 Poole Boulevard, Yuba City, California 95993, at 1:00 P.M. This Proxy Statement is first being mailed or given to Shareholders on or about November 10, 2003. We are a Colorado corporation. We are a full-reporting 1934 Act company, with our common stock quoted on the Over the Counter Bulletin Board (OTCBB). Information about us can be found in our December 31, 2002 Transitional Annual Report filed on Form 10-KT. Additional information about us can be found in our public filings that can be accessed electronically by means of the SEC's home page on the Internet at http://www.sec.gov, or at other Internet sites such as http://www.freeedgar.com, as well as by such other means from the offices of the SEC. WE ARE ASKING YOU FOR A PROXY AND YOU ARE REQUESTED TO SEND US A PROXY We are soliciting proxies even though the holders of more than 56% percent of the shares entitled to vote have indicated that they intend to vote in favor of these proposals. In light of the size of the holdings of these shareholders, the current Board and management of the Company deems the likelihood of a favorable vote on the proposals to be relatively assured. You may, however, mark and send the proxy attached hereto to record your vote. COSTS OF PROXY STATEMENT We will pay the cost of preparing and sending out this proxy statement. It will be sent to most shareholders via regular mail. A few will receive it by personal delivery or facsimile. VOTING SHAREHOLDERS ENTITLED TO VOTE Holders of record of common stock, at the close of business on the date of mailing this proxy statement will be entitled to vote at the Special Meeting. As of this date, October 22, 2003, 18,674,207 shares of common stock were issued and outstanding. Each shareholder is entitled to one vote for each share of common stock held by such shareholder. We have only the single class of stock, namely our common stock. 3 QUORUM AND VOTE NECESSARY FOR APPORVALS. One third of all shares entitled to vote constitutes a quorum to take the actions proposed. A majority of shares present and voting is sufficient to approve the proposal for a increase of shares if the quorum is present. The holders of 56.1% percent of the shares entitled to vote have indicated that they intend to vote their 10,978,196 shares in favor of these proposals in person or by proxy. PROXIES In voting their Common Stock, stockholders may vote in favor of or against the proposal to approve the proposals on the agenda or may abstain from voting. Stockholders should specify their choice on the accompanying proxy card. All properly executed proxy cards delivered pursuant to this solicitation and not revoked will be voted at the Meeting in accordance with the directions given. If no specific instruction are given with regard to the matter to be voted upon, then the shares represented by a signed proxy card will be voted "FOR" the approval of the Amendment and in the discretion of such proxies to any other procedural matters which may properly come before the Meeting or any adjournments thereof. All proxies delivered pursuant to this solicitation are revocable at any time before they are voted at the option of the persons executing them by (i) giving written notice to the Secretary of the Company, (ii) by delivering a later dated proxy card, or (iii) by voting in person at the Meeting. All written notices of revocation and other communications with respect to revocations of proxies should be addressed to Michael Sullinger, Secretary, eTOTALSOURCE, INC., 1510 Poole Boulevard, Yuba City, CA 95993. IF THEY WISH TO VOTE, HOLDERS OF COMMON STOCK ARE REQUIRED TO COMPLETE, DATE, AND SIGN THE ACCOMPANYING PROXY CARD AND RETURN IT PROMPTLY TO THE COMPANY IN THE ACCOMPANYING ENVELOPE. The person named as proxy is Terry Eilers, President and director of the Company. In addition to the solicitation of proxies by mail, the Company, through its directors, officers, and employees, may solicit proxies from stockholders personally or by telephone or other forms of communication. The Company will not reimburse anyone for reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred in the solicitation of proxies. The Company also will request brokerage houses, nominees, fiduciaries, and other custodians to forward soliciting materials to beneficial owners, and the Company will reimburse such persons for their reasonable expenses incurred in doing so. All expenses incurred in connection with the solicitation of proxies will be borne by the Company. INTEREST OF PERSONS IN MATTERS TO BE ACTED UPON No officer or director or principal shareholder has a substantial or material interest in the favorable action on these proposals. 4 PROPOSED AMENDMENTS TO ARTICLES OF INCORPORATION AND CHANGES IN CORPORATE CAPITALIZATION - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Proposal 1: To Authorize the officers and directors of the Company to amend the Company's Articles of Incorporation to increase the number of Common Shares authorized from twenty million (20,000,000) to one hundred million (100,000,000). - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Proposal 1: We are asking shareholders to authorize the directors of the Company to increase the number of Common Shares from twenty million (20,000,000) to one hundred million (100,000,000). This requires an amendment to our Articles of Incorporation. We believe that the share increase authorization in our Articles of Incorporation is in the best interest of our corporation because we have issued over seventeen million (17,000,000) shares which is very near our authorized capital limit. Without additional shares authorized, the Company cannot raise any more capital through shares, and it has substantial needs for more operating capital. It is emphasized that management of the Company may effect transactions having a potentially adverse impact upon the Company's shareholders pursuant to the authority and discretion of the Company's management to complete share issuances without submitting any proposal to the stockholders for their consideration. Holders of the Company's securities should not anticipate that the Company necessarily will furnish such holders with any documentation concerning the proposed issuance prior to any share issuances. All determinations (except involving a merger where more shares will be issued equalling more than 20% of the issued and outstanding shares prior to the transaction) involving share issuances are in the discretion and business judgment of the Board of Directors in their exercise of fiduciary responsibility but require a determination by the Board that the shares are being issued for fair and adequate consideration. In the future event that the Board continues to issue shares for capital, services, or acquisitions, the present management and stockholders of the Company most likely will not have control of a majority of the voting shares of the Company. It is likely that the Company may acquire other compatible business opportunities through the issuance of Common Stock of the Company. Although the terms of any such transaction cannot be predicted, this could result in substantial additional dilution in the equity of those who were stockholders of the Company prior to such issuance. There is no assurance that any future issuance of shares will be approved at a price or value equal to or greater than the price which a prior shareholder has paid, or at a greater than the then current market price. Typically unregistered shares are issued at less than market price due to their illiquidity and restricted nature, and the extended holding period, before they may be sold. 5 As of the date of this Proxy Statement, the Company has not identified any company or business opportunity that it intends to acquire. The Company is continuing its current operations, and would only acquire another company or business if it augments or compliments the current operations. SPECIAL MEETING OF SHAREHOLDERS At the date of this proxy statement, no other matter will presented for action at the special meeting. Only those matters proposed as discussed will be voted on at the meeting. Shareholders may propose matters to be presented at shareholder meetings and also nominate directors. Shareholder proposals must conform to the standards set out by the Securities Exchange Commission and must be received at our principal offices on or before, December 31, 2003, in order to be included in future proxy materials, if any, or presentation at our next annual meeting of shareholders, anticipated in early 2004. VOTING SECURITIES AND BENEFICIAL OWNERSHIP As of the call date of the meeting, October 22, 2003, the total number of common shares outstanding and entitled to vote was 18,674,207. The holders of such shares are entitled to one vote for each share being held on the record date. There is no cumulative voting on any matter on the agenda of this meeting. No additional shares will be issued subsequent to call date and prior to meeting.
