PART I
Item 1. DESCRIPTION OF THE BUSINESS
HISTORY AND ORGANIZATION
WESTMINSTER AUTO RETAILERS INC., (the "Company"), a developmental
stage company, was organized on December 25, 1995 as Tallman
Supply Corp., under the laws of the State of Delaware, having the
stated purpose of engaging in any lawful act or activity for
which corporations may be organized.
The Company was formed to enter the European airline industry and
provide domestic air travel routes which were not operated by
other carriers and which the company would be the sole operator.
The Company's initial route was to be between Teesside-Belfast
and London-Stansted. The Company was approached by a major
pharmaceutical company in the United Kingdom and a top soccer
club which suggested to the company that air service on such
route was required to accommodate demand by travelers which
at that time were not able to have the ability to air travel
between the two cities. The Company at that point sought to
become the official carrier for both these entities which it
hoped would further augment its entry into the airline industry.
In August 1996, the Company sought to raise funds pursuant to a
private placement to retire initial indebtedness by issuing
900,000 shares of its common stock at $0.01. The placement was
exempt from Registration pursuant to Section 4(6) of the
Securities Act of 1933. The Company was successful in raising
$9,000.00 to pay off such debt.
The Company then sought to raise additional funding to implement
its business plan. The Company however was unsuccessful in
luring investors to fund the Company's development and
acquisition of aircraft. Additionally, as a result of increased
price competition in the UK airline industry in late 1996, the
Company believed that it could not effectively compete with other
established air carriers. As a result of the foregoing, the
Company in October 1996 decided to seek other business
opportunities and abandon its plans to operate as an airline
carrier.
Thereafter in April 1997, the Company's management resigned after
it was unable to locate or create other business opportunities.
New management, which is the current management of the Company,
were brought in to attempt to locate or create other business
opportunities. The Company thereafter received an inquiry from a
UK motor retailer, Mark Kass Limited, about the possibility of
conducting a merger and entering the retail auto marketplace. At
that point, the Company changed its name to Westminster
Automobile Retailers Inc., to better reflect the possible entry
into the auto retail industry.
The Company thereafter in November 1998 entered into a
preliminary agreement to acquire Mark Kass Limited. The Company
at that point then again decided to slightly modify its name to
Westminster Auto Retailers, Inc. This was done so that the
Company name would appeal to both the USA and the UK markets, as
the word automobile is not widely used in the United Kingdom.
Subsequent to this name change, in January 1999, the preliminary
agreement to acquire Mark Kass Limited fell through and no merger
or acquisition was consummated. There is at this time no
potential that the Company and Mark Kass will merge or enter into
any other agreement.
The Company thereafter decided that the best method to locate
another business transaction or opportunity would be to become a
reporting company with the Securities and Exchange commission
and to make information regarding the Company readily available
to the public.
The Company is currently a developmental stage company and
currently has no material operations. The directors are now
determined that the Company should become active in seeking
potential business opportunities with the intent to acquire or
merge with such businesses which are engaged in the automotive
industry.
Item 2. Description of Property
The company's administrative offices are located at 90 Park
Avenue, New York, New York and also at 45 Mount Pleasant, Putney,
London SW18 United Kingdom. The Company's office in New York is
approximately 400 square feet utilized as a base to explore and
contact potential business transactions and to service the
Company's administrative needs. The United Kingdom office is
approximately 600 square feet and is also utilized as a base to
explore and contact potential business transactions.
Item 3. Legal Proceedings
There are no legal proceedings are pending at this time.
Item 4. Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders
There were no matters submitted to a vote of security holders.
PART II
Item 5. Market for Common Equity and Related Stockholder
Matters
The Company is not aware of any quotations for its common stock,
now or at any time within the past two years. As of May 31,
2001, there were 124 holders of record of the issued and
outstanding shares of Issuer's common stock. Issuer has never
paid a dividend on its outstanding equity. The Company currently
has no established public trading market for its common stock.
There are no plans, proposals, arrangements or understandings
with any person in regard to the development of a trading market
in any of the Company's securities.
Shareholders of the Company have not entered into any "lock-up"
letter agreement, which would prevent them from selling their
respective shares of the Company's common stock until such time
as the Company develops its business plan or consummates an
acquisition, alliance, merger or business transaction with
another entity.
Item 6. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The Company is a development stage company and its principal
business purpose is to locate and consummate a merger or
acquisition with a private entity engaged in the automotive
industry.
Because of the Company's current status having no assets and no
recent operating history, in the event the Company does
successfully acquire or merge with an operating business
opportunity, it is likely that the Company's present shareholders
will experience substantial dilution and there will be a probable
change in control of the Company. The Company has been seeking a
candidate to consummate a merger or acquisition however at the
time of the filing, no viable candidate has been located or
identified. There is no assurance that the Company will be able
to identify and acquire any business opportunity in the
automotive industry which will ultimately prove to be beneficial
to the Company and its shareholders.
Any target acquisition or merger candidate of the Company will
become subject to the same reporting requirements as the Company
upon consummation of any such business combination. Thus, in the
event that the Company successfully completes an acquisition or
merger with another operating business in the automotive
industry, the resulting combined business must provide audited
financial statements for at least the two most recent fiscal
years or, in the event that the combined operating business has
been in business less than two years, audited financial
statements will be required from the period of inception of the
target acquisition or merger candidate.
The selection of a business opportunity in which to participate
is complex and risky. Additionally, as the Company has only
limited resources, it may be difficult to find favorable
opportunities. There can be no assurance that the Company will be
able to identify and acquire any business opportunity in the
automotive industry which will ultimately prove to be beneficial
to the Company and its shareholders.
The Company will select any potential business opportunity based
on management's business judgment. In the event the Company
consummates a merger transaction or acquisition, the Company
believes that there will be a change in control in the Company.
The Company believes that any merger would include the new
issuance of common stock in the Corporation to a potential merger
candidate followed by a reverse split of the Company's issued
common stock thereby effectively passing control of the Company
to the merged candidate.
The Company may seek or target a potential merger candidate which
is outside the United States. It should be noted that there are
inherent risks which may arise for the Company in the event it
does engage in a business transaction with such an outside
entity. Factors relevant to international laws, foreign exchange
rates, duties, taxation and political stability of the targeted
entity's country will all be considered to determine the impact
of such factors on the Company.
In the event the Company believes, in its discretion, that any of
the aforementioned factors create a substantial and uncertain
risk for the Company, then any business transaction with such
targeted entity shall not proceed. Each targeted entity outside
the United States will be evaluated on a case by case basis by
the Company to consider the risks and factors inherent to
consummating a business transaction with such entity.
The Company has no recent operating history and no representation
is made, nor is any intended, that the Company will be able to
carry on future business activities successfully in the
automotive industry. Further, there can be no assurance that the
Company will have the ability to acquire or merge with an
operating business, develop sustaining business opportunities or
acquire property that will be of material value to the Company.
In this case the company will seek an acquisition or merger
candidate outside of the automotive industry. In the opinion of
management, inflation has not and will not have a material affect
on the operations of the Company as it does not currently have
any significant assets, debt or income. There is no assurance
that the Company will be able to obtain additional funding when
and if needed, or that such funding, if available, can be
obtained on terms acceptable to the Company.
The Company will not borrow funds for the purpose of funding
payments to the Company's promoters, management or their
affiliates or associates. Any funds borrowed by the Company will
be utilized to pay statutory, legal and accountant fees expended
by the Company.
The Company does not foresee that any terms of sale of the shares
presently held by officers and/or directors of the Company will
also be afforded to all other shareholders of the Company on
similar terms and conditions. Management does not anticipate
actively negotiating or otherwise consenting to the purchase of
any portion of their common stock as a condition to or in
connection with a proposed merger or acquisition. In such an
instance, all shareholders are to be treated equally. This policy
is upheld by the inclusion of a resolution of the Board of
Director's of the Company, contained in the Company's minutes. In
the event management wishes to actively negotiating or otherwise
consenting to the purchase of any portion of their common stock
as a condition to or in connection with a proposed merger or
acquisition, this would need to be disclosed to the Board of
Directors and entered into the Company's minutes. The company's
shareholders will be afforded an opportunity to approve or
consent to any particular stock buy-out transaction or merger.
There is no present potential that the Company may acquire or
merge with a business or company in which the Company's
promoters, management or their affiliates or associates, directly
or indirectly, have an ownership interest. Existing corporate
policy does not permit such transactions, unless disclosed by the
individual with such interest and consent to by the Board of
Directors. This policy based upon an understanding between
management and the Board of Directors.
Management is unaware of any circumstances under which this
policy, through its own initiative, may be changed. In searching
and targeting a merger or acquisition candidate, the Company will
analyze the financial viability of a candidate along with its
historic performance to ascertain the profitability of a
potential candidate. Vital to this analysis shall be the
financial statements of the candidate, with attention to
profit/loss before taxes, and the candidates net asset value.
The Company will not consider a candidate with excessive debt or
which is highly leveraged. The Company will also consider the
management expertise and experience of a candidate. In the event
there is a downturn in the economy, the Company believes that the
automotive industry would experience a drop in sales. If this
occurs at a time when the Company has not acquired or merged with
an operating business or has not generate substantial revenue,
then the Company will re-evaluate its plans as it believes it
would not be financially sound to implement entry into the
automotive industry during a downturn. The Company however may
benefit from a downturn in the economy as a potential merger or
acquisition candidate can be assessed with a lesser asset
valuation thereby affording the company a better opportunity to
consummate a business transaction.
Item 7. Financial Statements
REPORT OF INDEPENDENT AUDITORS
To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of
WESTMINSTER AUTO RETAILERS INC.
We have audited the accompanying balance sheet of Westminster
Auto Retailers Inc., (a development stage company) as of May 31,
2001 and the related statements of loss, cash flows and
shareholders' equity for the year then ended, and for the period
from December 29, 1995 (inception) to May 31, 2001. 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 generally accepted
auditing standards. Those standard 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, evidences 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 financial statements referred to above
present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position
of Westminster Auto Retailers Inc., as of May 31, 2001, and the
results of its operations and its cash flows for the year then
ended and for the period from December 29, 1995 (inception) to
May 31, 2001 in conformity with generally accepted accounting
principles.
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming
that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed
in Note 5 to the financial statements, the Company has losses
from operations and a net capital deficiency, which raise
substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going
concern. Management's plans regarding those matters also are
described in Notes 5. The financial statements do not include
any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this
uncertainty.

WESTMINSTER AUTO RETAILERS INC.
(A Development Stage Company)
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
MAY 31, 2001
NOTE 1 - NATURE OF BUSINESS AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
A. DESCRIPTION OF COMPANY: Westminster Auto Retailers Inc.,
("the Company") is a for-profit corporation incorporated under
the laws of the State of Delaware on December 29, 1995 as Tallman
Supply Corp. On January 14, 1999 the Company changed its name
to Westminster Auto Retailers Inc.
The Company is a development stage company and currently has no
material operations. The directors are now determined that
the Company should become active in seeking potential business
opportunities within the automotive industry with the intent to
acquire or merge with such businesses.
NOTE 2 - SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
A. BASIS OF PRESENTATION: Financial statements are prepared on
the accrual basis of accounting. Accordingly revenue is
recognized when earned and expenses when incurred.
B. USE OF ESTIMATES: The preparation of financial statements in
conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires
management to make estimates and assumptions that affect certain
reported amounts and disclosures. Accordingly, actual results
could differ from these estimates. Significant estimates in the
financial statements include the assumption that the Company
will continue as a going concern. See Note 5.
NOTE 3 - USE OF OFFICE SPACE
The Company uses office space for its executive offices at two
locations. The fair market value of the 600 square foot office
at 45 Mount Pleasant, Putney, London, UK is $200 per month.
Use of this office space began on July 1, 1998. The fair market
value of the 400 square foot office at 90 Park Avenue, New York,
New York is also $200 per month. Use of this office space
began November 1, 1998. The amount for the New York office,
which the Company receives from one of its shareholders at no
cost, is reflected as an expense with a corresponding credit to
additional paid-in capital.
NOTE 4 - EARNINGS PER SHARE
For the Year From Inception
Ended To
May 31, 2001 May 31, 2001
--------------------------------------
Net Loss per share $(0.02) $(0.12)
NOTE 4 - LIQUIDITY
The Company's viability as a going concern is dependent upon
raising additional capital, and ultimately, having net income.
The Company's limited operating history, including its losses and
no revenues, primarily reflect the operations of its early stage.
As a result, the Company had from time of inception to May 31,
2001 no revenue and a net loss from operations of $344,595.
As of May 31, 2001, the Company had a net capital deficiency
of $74,350.
The Company requires additional capital principally to meet its
costs for the implementation of its business plan, for general
and administrative expenses and to fund costs associated with the
start up of its telephone service. It is not anticipated that
the Company will be able to meet its financial obligations
through internal net revenue in the foreseeable future.
Westminster Auto Retailers Inc., does not have a working capital
line of credit with any financial institution. Therefore, future
sources of liquidity will be limited to the Company's ability to
obtain additional debt or equity funding. See Note 7.
NOTE 6- CONTRIBUTED SERVICES
On December 15, 1997 two of the Company's officers began
rendering services on behalf of the Company at no cost. A third
officer also rendered services beginning November 3, 1998 for
just over two months. The fair market value is $2,917 per
officer per month. Each amount is reflected as an expense with a
corresponding credit to additional paid in capital.
NOTE 7- LOAN PAYABLE (EUROPEAN TECHNOLOGY INVESTMENTS LIMITED)
As of May 31, 2001, European Technology Investments Limited has
paid $38,050 of expenses on behalf of Westminster Auto Retailers,
Inc. European Technology Investments Limited will lend up to
$80,000 to the Company upon request. The loan is not evidenced
by a note. The informal agreement calls for no payment of
interest. The Company intends to repay the loan out of any
fund raising that it may carry out or when the company achieves
sustainable revenue.
NOTE 8 - NON-CASH FINANCIAL TRANSACTIONS
Non-cash financing transactions consisting of the cost of
contributed services, contributed rent and the related additional
paid in capital contributed by shareholders have been included in
expenses and additional paid in capital, respectively, in the
accompanying financial statements. These are valued at $72,400
and $255,120 for the year ended May 31, 2001 and from December
29, 1995 (inception) to May 31, 2001, respectively.
Item 8. CHANGES IN AND DISAGREEMENTS WITH ACCOUNTANTS ON
