Company from 25,000,000 shares to 50,000,000 shares; and
2. To authorize 25,000,000 shares of preferred stock,
par value $0.001 (the "Preferred Stock"), of the Company, which

preferences, privileges and restrictions as shall be fixed by the
Company's Board of Directors from time to time.
In addition, on May 24, 2002, the Board of Directors

As of May 24, 2002, the holders of approximately 60.8% of

INTRODUCTION
On May 24, 2002, the Board of Directors of Auto Data Network
Inc. (the "Company") approved, and recommended that the Company's
Certificate of Incorporation be amended to include, the following
(the "Charter Amendment"):
1. To increase the number of authorized shares of
common stock, par value $0.001 (the "Common Stock"), of the
Company from 25,000,000 shares to 50,000,000 shares; and
2. To authorize 25,000,000 shares of preferred stock,
par value $0.001 (the "Preferred Stock"), of the Company,
which may be issued in one or more series, with such rights,
preferences, privileges and restrictions as shall be fixed
by the Company's Board of Directors from time to time in a
certificate of designations which the Board of Directors
shall have authority to file from time to time as required
by law.
As of May 24, 2002, the holders of approximately 60.8% of
the outstanding shares of Common Stock executed a written consent
adopting the Charter Amendment. As of the close of business on
May 24, 2002, Company records indicated that 11,462,078 shares of
its Common Stock were issued and outstanding.
On May 24, 2002, the Board of Directors of the Company
approved, and recommended that the Company's By-Laws, which
presently limits the number of directors on the Board to three
(3), be amended to include a provision to allow the number of
directors serving on the Board of Directors to be established
from time to time by the Board of Directors, without the need to
obtain the approval of the Stockholders, provided that such
number shall not be less than three (3) nor more than twelve (12)
(the "By-Laws Amendment," and together with the Charter
Amendment, the "Amendments").
As of May 24, 2002, the holders of approximately 60.8% of
the outstanding shares of Common Stock executed a written consent
adopting the By-Laws Amendment.
This information statement is being mailed on or about June
__, 2002 to holders of record of Common Stock at the close of
business on June 10, 2002, pursuant to Section 14(c) of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"),

AMENDMENT TO THE CERTIFICATE OF INCORPORATION
Proposals and Board Recommendation
On May 24, 2002, our Board of Directors, believing it to be
in the best interests of the Company and its stockholders,
approved, and recommended that the stockholders of the Company
approve, the Charter Amendment. The Charter Amendment is
reflected in the Form of Certificate of Amendment to Certificate
of Incorporation (the "Form of Charter Amendment") which is
attached hereto as Annex A, and incorporated herein by reference.
The authorization of additional shares of Common Stock and
Preferred Stock will allow the Company to proceed with potential
equity financings which are under negotiation as of the date
hereof. At this stage of negotiation, the Company does not know
(i) whether such equity financings may require the issuance of
Common Stock, Preferred Stock or both or (ii) the aggregate
number of shares such equity financings may require. In
addition, the authorization of additional shares of Common Stock
and Preferred Stock, and the authorization of the Board of
Directors to create and issue various series of Preferred Stock
without additional stockholder approval, will provide the Company
the flexibility to seek additional capital through equity
financings in a competitive environment from time to time in the
future and to use equity, rather than cash, to complete
acquisitions, from time to time in the future. As of the date
hereof, the Company has no commitments, arrangements or
understandings with respect to the issuance of the additional
Common Stock or Preferred Stock it is seeking to authorize. The
Company has no understandings or agreements at this time with
regard to any acquisitions.
(A) Increase in Authorized Common Stock of the Company.
The Company's Certificate of Incorporation currently authorizes
the Company to issue up to 25,000,000 shares of Common Stock. As
of May 24, 2002, Company records indicate that the Company had
issued and outstanding 11,462,078 shares of Common Stock. As a
result, the number of authorized, non-designated shares of Common
Stock available for issuance by the Company in the future has
been reduced, and the Company's flexibility with respect to
possible future stock splits, equity financings, stock-for-stock
acquisitions, stock dividends or other transactions that involve
the issuance of Common Stock has been severely diminished. The
proposed increase of authorized shares will increase the total
number of shares of unissued and unreserved authorized shares of
Common Stock from 13,537,922 shares to 38,537,922 shares, an
increase which the Board of Directors believes will improve the
Company's flexibility to take such actions.
-3-
<page>
(B) Authorization of "Blank Check" Preferred Stock. The
term "blank check" preferred stock refers to stock for which the
designations, preferences, conversion rights, cumulative,
relative, participating, optional or other rights, including
voting rights, qualifications, limitations or restrictions
thereof are determined by the Board of Directors of a company.
Upon the effectiveness of the Charter Amendment, the Board of
Directors of the Company will be entitled to authorize the
designation and issuance of up to 25,000,000 shares of Preferred
Stock in one or more series with such limitations and
restrictions as may be determined in the sole discretion of the
Company's Board of Directors, with no further authorization by
stockholders required for the creation and issuance thereof, when
required by law and in accordance with the provisions of Section
151 of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware, the
Board of Directors of the Company shall have the express
authority to execute, acknowledge and file a certificate of
designations setting forth, any and all powers, designations,
preferences, rights, qualifications, limitations or restrictions
on the preferred stock. The Board of Directors believes that
having such blank check preferred stock available for, among
other things, proposed financing transactions, as well as
possible issuances in connection with such activities as public
or private offerings of shares for cash, dividends payable in
stock of the Company, acquisitions of other companies or
businesses, and otherwise, is in the best interest of the Company
and its stockholders.
Rights and Preferences With Respect to Common Stock. If the
Company issues Preferred Stock, such Preferred Stock will include
certain designations, preferences, conversion rights, cumulative,
relative, participating, optional or other rights, including
voting rights, qualifications, limitations or restrictions, any
of which may dilute the voting power and economic interest of the
holders of the Common Stock. For example, in a liquidation, the
holders of the Preferred Stock may be entitled to receive a
certain amount per share of Preferred Stock before the holders of
the Common Stock receive any distribution. In addition, the
holders of Preferred Stock may be entitled to a certain number of
votes per share of Preferred Stock and such votes may dilute the
voting rights of the holders of Common Stock when the Company
seeks to take corporate action. Furthermore, Preferred Stock
could be issued with certain preferences over the holders of
Common Stock with respect to dividends or the power to approve
the declaration of a dividend. The aforementioned are only
examples of how shares of Preferred Stock, if issued, could
dilute the interests of the holders of Common Stock.
-4-
<page>
Approval by Stockholders. As of May 24, 2002, the Company
had 11,462,078 shares of its Common Stock issued and outstanding.
As of this same date, stockholders representing 6,971,429 shares
of Common Stock, or approximately 60.8% of the issued and
outstanding shares of Common Stock, approved the proposals to
amend the Company's Certificate of Incorporation to: (i) increase
the number of authorized shares of Common Stock of the Company to
50,000,000 shares from 25,000,000 shares; and (ii) authorize a
class of blank check Preferred Stock, par value $0.001, of the
Company, consisting of 25,000,000 authorized shares, which may be
issued in one or more series, with such rights, preferences,
privileges and restrictions as shall be fixed by the Company's
Board of Directors from time to time. The full text of the
Charter Amendment is reflected in the Form of Charter Amendment
which is attached as Annex A of this information statement.
Pursuant to the provisions of Delaware law and the Company's
Certificate of Incorporation, the holders of at least a majority
of the outstanding voting shares are permitted to approve the
Charter Amendment by written consent in lieu of a meeting,
provided that prompt notice of such action is given to the other
stockholders. Pursuant to the rules and regulations promulgated
by the Securities and Exchange Commission under the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), an
information statement must be sent to the holders of voting stock
who do not sign the written consent at least 20 days prior to the
effective date of the action. This notice, which is being sent
to all holders of record on June 9, 2002, is intended to serve as
such notice under Delaware law and as the information statement
required by the Exchange Act.
Possible Anti-Takeover Effect. In addition to financing
purposes, the Company could also issue shares of Common Stock or
Preferred Stock that may, depending on the terms of such series,
make more difficult or discourage an attempt to obtain control of
the Company by means of a merger, tender offer, proxy contest or
other means. When, in the judgment of the Board of Directors,
this action will be in the best interest of the stockholders and
the Company, such shares could be used to create voting or other
impediments or to discourage persons seeking to gain control of
the Company. Such shares also could be privately placed with
purchasers favorable to the Board of Directors in opposing such
action. In addition, the Board of Directors could authorize
holders of a series of Common or Preferred Stock to vote either
separately as a class or with the holders of the Company's Common
Stock, on any merger, sale or exchange of assets by the Company
or any other extraordinary corporate transaction. The existence
-5-
<page>
of the additional authorized shares could have the effect of
discouraging unsolicited takeover attempts. The issuance of new
shares also could be used to dilute the stock ownership of a
person or entity seeking to obtain control of the Company should
the Board of Directors consider the action of such entity or
person not to be in the best interest of the stockholders of the
Company. The issuance of new shares also could be used to
entrench current management or deter an attempt to replace the
Board of Directors by diluting the number or rights of shares
held by individuals seeking to control the Company by obtaining a
certain number of seats on the Board of Directors.
The Company anticipates that the Charter Amendment will be
effective 20 days after the mailing of this Information
Statement; that is, it will be effective on approximately June
__, 2002 or shortly thereafter.
THE CHARTER AMENDMENT HAS NOT BEEN APPROVED OR DISAPPROVED
BY THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION, NOR HAS THE SECURITIES
AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION PASSED UPON THE FAIRNESS OR MERIT OF THE
CHARTER AMENDMENT NOR UPON THE ACCURACY OR ADEQUACY OF THE
INFORMATION CONTAINED IN THIS INFORMATION STATEMENT. ANY
REPRESENTATION TO THE CONTRARY IS UNLAWFUL.
PLEASE NOTE THAT THIS IS NEITHER A REQUEST FOR YOUR VOTE NOR
A PROXY STATEMENT, BUT RATHER AN INFORMATION STATEMENT DESIGNED
TO INFORM YOU OF THE AMENDMENT THAT WILL OCCUR IF THE AMENDMENTS
ARE COMPLETED AND TO PROVIDE YOU WITH INFORMATION ABOUT THE
AMENDMENT AND THE BACKGROUND OF THESE TRANSACTIONS.

AMENDMENT TO THE BY-LAWS
PROPOSALS AND BOARD RECOMMENDATION
On May 24, 2002, our Board of Directors, believing it to be
in the best interests of the Company and its stockholders,
approved, and recommended that the stockholders of the Company
approve, the By-Laws Amendment. The By-Laws Amendment is
reflected in the Form of Amendment to By-Laws (the "Form of By-
Laws Amendment") which is attached hereto as Annex B, and
incorporated herein by reference.
Prior to the By-Laws Amendment, the By-Laws limited the
number of directors on the Board of Directors to three (3) and
the Board of Directors consisted of three (3) directors. Such
limitation has prevented the Company from offering new investors
an opportunity to serve as members of the Board of Directors
without the prior resignation from the Board of Directors of its
preexisting members or amendment to the By-Laws by the Company's
stockholders.
The Board of Directors determined that it is in the best
interest of the Company to provide the Board of Directors with
the ability to increase the number of directors in its sole
discretion, without the need to seek stockholder approval, since
the Company may be obligated to do so in connection with
potential financings, joint ventures or other arrangements in a
competitive environment. In addition, the Company may desire to
appoint to the Board of Directors individuals with certain
specialized experience whose expertise may allow the Board of
Directors to better manage the Company. As of the date hereof,
neither the Board of Directors nor the Company has approved the
addition to the Board of Directors of any specific individuals.
Approval by Stockholders. As of May 24, 2002, the Company
had 11,462,078 shares of its Common Stock issued and outstanding.
As of this same date, stockholders representing approximately
6,971,429 shares of Common Stock, or approximately 60.8% of the
issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock, approved the By-
Laws Amendment. Pursuant to the provisions of Delaware law and
the Company's By-Laws, the holders of at least a majority of the
outstanding voting shares are permitted to approve the By-Laws
Amendment by written consent in lieu of a meeting, provided that
prompt notice of such action is given to the other stockholders.
Pursuant to the rules and regulations promulgated by the
Securities and Exchange Commission under the Exchange Act, an
information statement must be sent to the holders of voting stock
-7-
<page>
who do not sign the written consent at least 20 days prior to the
effective date of the action. This notice, which is being sent
to all holders of record on June 10, 2002, is intended to serve
as such notice under Delaware law and as the information
statement required by the Exchange Act.
Possible Anti-Takeover Effect. In addition to providing the
Board of Directors with the ability to allow, from time to time,
new investors an opportunity to designate members of the Board of
Directors, the By-Laws Amendment may also allow the Board of
Directors the ability to dilute the control or influence that
certain members of the Board of Directors may obtain by adding
additional members of whom it approves.
The Company anticipates that the By-Laws Amendment will be
effective 20 days after the mailing of this Information
Statement, June ___, 2002 or shortly thereafter.
THE BY-LAWS AMENDMENT HAS NOT BEEN APPROVED OR DISAPPROVED
BY THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION, NOR HAS THE SECURITIES
AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION PASSED UPON THE FAIRNESS OR MERIT OF THE
BY-LAWS AMENDMENT NOR UPON THE ACCURACY OR ADEQUACY OF THE
INFORMATION CONTAINED IN THIS INFORMATION STATEMENT. ANY
REPRESENTATION TO THE CONTRARY IS UNLAWFUL.
PLEASE NOTE THAT THIS IS NEITHER A REQUEST FOR YOUR VOTE NOR
A PROXY STATEMENT, BUT RATHER AN INFORMATION STATEMENT DESIGNED
TO INFORM YOU OF THE AMENDMENT THAT WILL OCCUR IF THE AMENDMENT
IS COMPLETED AND TO PROVIDE YOU WITH INFORMATION ABOUT THE
AMENDMENTS AND THE BACKGROUND OF THESE TRANSACTIONS.

will be registered on the books of the Company. The Company
currently anticipates that the Preferred Stock will not be

federal or state securities laws.

Change of Control of Registrant
On October 2, 2001, the Company acquired 9,500 shares of
common stock, $1.00 par value, of Eurportal Inc. T/A Auto Data
Group (hereinafter "Auto Data Group"), a company incorporated
under the laws of the State of Delaware.
The acquisition was consummated by the execution of an
Acquisition Agreement, by and between the Company, Auto Data
Group and all of the shareholders and executive officers of AMAC
and certain other persons listed on the signature pages thereto,
dated October 2, 2001 (the "Acquisition Agreement"). The shares
acquired by the Company represented all of Auto Data Group's then
currently issued and outstanding common stock in a tax free
stock-for-stock acquisition. The aggregate purchase price paid
by the Company for the Auto Data Group common shares was
9,500,000 newly issued shares of post-reverse split shares of
voting common stock of the Company, $0.001 par value. These
shares were issued to the sellers of the Auto Data Group shares
subsequent to a 1 for 25 reverse split of the voting common stock
by the Company of its voting common stock.
As a result of the foregoing transaction, there was a
change in control of the Company from the shareholders of the
Company (as defined in Acquisition Agreement) to the
shareholders of Auto Data Group. The shareholders of Auto
Data Group now hold approximately 95.0% of the outstanding
shares of common stock of the Company.
