PROSPECTUS SUMMARY
DVD AMERICA CORPORATION ("DVD AMERICA") was incorporated April 19, 2002 in the
state of Nevada. We seek to license entertainment themes to manufacturers of
digital versatile discs, commonly known as DVD's, and to act as an agent in
licensing DVD entertainment themes developed by others. We expect to market
these themes by both direct meetings with DVD manufacturers' representatives and
through a web site that will give the manufacturers an opportunity to review
descriptions of new concepts at a single source to decide whether a face-to-face
meeting would be useful. We have had no operations to date. We do not yet have
an operational web site.
In order to gain further funding DVD AMERICA sold 1,000,000 shares of our common
stock in a private placement offering for proceeds totaling $100,000.

RISK FACTORS
Investing in our common stock involves a high degree of risk. You should
carefully consider the risks and uncertainties described below before you
purchase any of our common stock.
If any of these risks or uncertainties actually occur, our business, financial
condition or results of operations could be materially adversely affected. In
this event you could lose all or part of your investment.
RISKS CONCERNING OUR BUSINESS
We Have No Operating History, and therefore cannot assure you we could operate
Profitably or successfully market our products.
We are a new enterprise that has no operating history upon which an evaluation
of our business and prospects can be based. Therefore, we may fail if we are
unable to develop products, control our costs or effectively market our
products. We cannot assure you at this time that we will operate profitably or
that we will have adequate working capital to meet our obligations as they
become due. Because of our limited financial history, we believe that
period-to-period comparisons of our results of operations will not be meaningful
in the short term and should not be relied upon as indicators of future
performance. (See DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS.)
2
We are Dependent Upon our President, Alan Schram. Any Reduction in His Role in
DVD AMERICA Would Have a Material Adverse Effect.
The success of DVD AMERICA is dependent on the continued involvement of our sole
director, President, CEO, and Chief Financial Officer, Alan Schram, who is
necessary for the Company to pursue its business plan. Any reduction of Mr.
Schram's role in the business would leave DVD AMERICA without competent
management team And may paralyze the operations of the Company. DVD AMERICA does
not have an employment contract with Mr. Schram. Should Mr. Schram discontinue
his involvement with the DVD AMERICA, there are currently no employees, or other
officers or directors that could proceed with the management of DVD AMERICA.
Our Sole Officer and Director, Alan Schram, Does Not Have Any Experience In Our
Industry.
Our sole officer and director's lack of experience in the industry may limit our
ability to develop business and may cause him to make mistakes that will reduce
the Company's resources. We may not be able to generate revenue or survive in
the industry if we are unable to attract experienced and knowledgeable
management.
We Do Not Have a Lease on Our Office Space, and if we lose that office space we
may Not have the resources to find an alternative office.
We currently operate out of our President's office in Sherman Oaks, California
at 15303 Ventura Boulevard, Suite 1510, Sherman Oaks, CA 91403. This space is
provided to the Company on a rent-free basis . We only have a temporary verbal
license, revocable at any time, from our President to use this office space. If
that license is revoked, we will have to find an alternative office space and we
currently would not have the resources to do so. We would not be able to operate
our business without an adequate office space.
DVD Manufacturers May be Reluctant to Use DVD AMERICA as an Agent Due to
Potential Conflicts of Interests, which could curtail our revenues.
DVD Manufacturers may be reluctant to use DVD AMERICA as an agent due to the
fact that some of them are also in the business of inventing DVD concepts and
selling them. While most DVD manufacturers do not engage in inventing concepts
and producing content, those of them that do may be reluctant to do business
with us as we will be potential competition to them. In the event they refuse to
do business with us, we will not be able to generate revenues and our business
may fail.
If the DVD concepts that we Recommend to the DVD Manufactures are Not
Commercially Successful Then Our Access to the DVD Manufacturers Will be Greatly
Reduced and Our Business Will Suffer Substantially.
Our ability to successfully market both the DVD concepts we may own and those we
represent as agent will depend on our ability to regularly bring to the DVD
manufacturers new ideas that are commercially successful. A limited number of
commercial failures of concepts we recommend would reduce the manufacturers'
confidence in us and make it difficult for us to continue to have access to key
decision makers for the DVD manufacturers, and our business would suffer
substantially.
3
If DVD Technology Does not Become Widely Accepted or Becomes Obsolete, it would
have a Detrimental Impact on Our Business.
Consumers may not accept DVD technology on a widespread basis, or acceptance may
be delayed, due to: (1) a reluctance by studios or others to release titles in
the DVD format; (2) consumer confusion because of competing DVD formats,
including DIVX; (3) potentially high switching costs from VHS to DVD; and (4)
the availability of pay-per-view and other forms of online transmission as an
alternative to DVD. The foregoing factors could result in delays in the
acceptance of DVD technology. Also, the electronic online delivery of
information, through distribution media including the Internet, satellites or
cable television, competes with DVD technology. Recent and continuing
developments in broadband online data delivery have led to speculation regarding
the decreasing viability of physical media including DVD products. If DVD
technology does not become widely accepted or becomes obsolete, selling our
product would become more difficult and our business would therefore be
materially impaired.
We May Have Difficulty in Obtaining Additional Funding, If Required.
Although we believe that the funds that were raised through our most recent
private placement offering of common stock will be sufficient for our needs for
the next twelve months, if additional funds are needed, we may have difficulty
obtaining them, and we may have to accept terms that would adversely affect our
shareholders. For example, the terms of any future financings may impose
restrictions on our right to declare dividends or on the manner in which we
conduct our business. Also, lending institutions or private investors may impose
restrictions on future decisions by us to make capital expenditures,
acquisitions or asset sales.
We may not be able to locate additional funding sources at all or on acceptable
terms. If we cannot raise funds on acceptable terms, if and when needed, we may
not be able to grow our business or respond to competitive pressures or
unanticipated requirements, which could seriously harm our business.
Larger and Better Funded Competition May Make It Difficult for DVD AMERICA
to Succeed.
There are many competitors that represent DVD developers and market DVD
concepts, many of which are larger and more established and with greater
experience, and financial and personal resources than DVD AMERICA. These
competitors' advantages may result in the competitors having better access to
DVD manufacturers. These competitors may make it difficult for DVD AMERICA to
succeed and cause it to be unable to generate revenue or become profitable.
4
Our Independent Auditors Included a Statement in Their Report, Warning We May
Not be Able To Continue As A Going Concern.
You should be aware that our auditors included a Going Concern statement in
their report, in which they indicated that the Company has not generated any
revenues, is dependent upon its ability to secure financing and that there are
no assurances that the Company will be successful. The Company and our auditors
believe that without sufficient financing it would be unlikely for the Company
to continue as a going concern, which could cause the investors a permanent loss
of capital.
RISKS CONCERNING OUR OFFERING
We Will Likely be Subject to the Penny Stock Rules.
Broker-dealer practices in connection with transactions in "penny stocks" are
regulated by certain rules adopted by the Securities and Exchange Commission.
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 Stock Market provided that current price and volume
information with respect to transactions in such securities is provided by the
exchange or system). The rules require that a broker-dealer, prior to a
transaction in a penny stock not otherwise exempt from the rules, deliver a
standardized risk disclosure document that provides information about penny
stocks and the 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 connection with the
transaction and monthly account statements showing the market value of each
penny stock held in the customer's account. In addition, the rules generally
require that prior to a transaction in a penny stock, the broker-dealer must
make a special written determination that the penny stock is a suitable
investment for the purchaser and receive the purchaser's written agreement to
the transaction. These disclosure requirements may have the effect of reducing
the liquidity of penny stocks. If our securities become subject to the penny
stock rules, investors in the offering may find it more difficult to sell their
securities. (See PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION.)
Unless a Public Market Develops for Our Common Stock, You May Not be Able to
Sell Your Shares.
There has been no public market for our common stock. There can be no assurance,
moreover, that an active trading market will ever develop or, if developed, that
it will be maintained. Failure to develop or maintain an active trading market
could negatively affect the price of our securities, and you may be unable to
sell your shares. In additions, we May Not Qualify for NASD Over-the-Counter
Electronic Bulletin Board Inclusion.
5
Upon completion of this offering, we will attempt to have our common stock
eligible for quotation on the NASD Over-the-Counter Electronic Bulletin Board
("OTCBB" or "Bulletin Board"). OTCBB eligible securities includes securities not
listed on NASDAQ or a registered national securities in the U.S. and that are
also required to file reports pursuant to Section 13 or 15(d) of the Securities
Act of 1933, and the company is current in its periodic securities reporting
obligations. DVD AMERICA has engaged a broker/dealer to file a Form 211 with the
National Association of Securities Dealers ("NASD") in order to allow the quote
of DVD AMERICA's common stock on the OTCBB. Our market maker has committed to
make a market in our securities once the Form 211 clear with the NASD. For more
information on the OTCBB see its website at www.otcbb.com. If for any reason,
however, any of our securities are not eligible for continued quotation on the
Bulletin Board or a public trading market does not develop, purchasers of the
shares may have difficulty selling their securities should they desire to do so.
If we are unable to satisfy the requirements for quotation on the Bulletin
Board, any trading in our common stock would be conducted in the
over-the-counter market in what are commonly referred to as the "pink sheets".
As a result, an investor may find it more difficult to dispose of, or to obtain
accurate quotations as to the price of, the securities offered hereby. The
above-described rules may materially adversely affect the liquidity of the
market for our securities. (See PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION.)
We Do Not Expect to Pay Dividends.
We do not anticipate paying cash dividends in the foreseeable future. We plan to
use all of our earnings, to the extent we have earnings, to fund our operations.
We cannot guarantee that we will, at any time, generate sufficient surplus cash
that would be available for distribution as a dividend to the holders of our
common stock. You should not expect to receive cash dividends on our common
stock.
CAUTIONARY NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
This Prospectus contains certain financial information and statements regarding
our operations and financial prospects of a forward-looking nature. Although
these statements accurately reflect management's current understanding and
beliefs, we caution you that certain important factors may affect our actual
results and could cause such results to differ materially from any
forward-looking statements which may be deemed to be made in this Prospectus.
For this purpose, any statements contained in this Prospectus which are not
statements of historical fact may be deemed to be forward-looking statements.
Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, words such as, "may", "will",
"intend", "expect", "believe", "anticipate", "could", "estimate", "plan" or
"continue" or the negative variations of those words or comparable terminology
are intended to identify forward-looking statements. There can be no assurance
of any kind that such forward-looking information and statements will be
reflective in any way of our actual future operations and/or financial results,
and any of such information and statements should not be relied upon either in
whole or in part in connection with any decision to invest in the shares.
6
USE OF PROCEEDS
We will not receive any proceeds from the sale of the stockholder's shares
offered by this prospectus. All proceeds from the sale of the stockholders'
shares will be for the account of the selling shareholders.
DETERMINATION OF OFFERING PRICE
There is no established public market for the shares of common stock that we are
registering. Our management has established a price of $0.10 per share based
upon management's estimate of our cash requirements and the price at which
potential investors might be willing to purchase the common stock we are
offering. The offering price has been arbitrarily determined and does not bear
any relationship to our assets, results of operations, or book value, or to any
other generally accepted criteria of valuation.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Overview
DVD AMERICA was incorporated on April 19, 2002. DVD AMERICA will license
DVD concepts to DVD manufacturers and will act as an agent in licensing DVD
concepts developed by others. In April 2002 DVD AMERICA raised $100,000 to use
as capital in pursuing its business plan in a private placement to a single
investor under section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933. DVD AMERICA's plan of
operations for the next twelve months includes hiring a web designer to build
DVD AMERICA's web page, and soliciting new DVD concepts. The web page will take
approximately three months to build and cost approximately $10,000. We plan to
hire a web designer by September 2002. We plan for the web page to also solicit
new DVD concepts by publishing challenges for DVD concept competitions, set up
chat rooms for discussions of ideas, and create an online message board for the
exchange of concepts and ideas in real time. We plan to have our web page
operational by the end of the year 2002. We expect to market these DVD concepts
and designs by both direct meetings with DVD manufacturers' representatives and
through a web site that will give the manufacturers an opportunity to review
pictures and descriptions of new concepts at a single source to decide whether a
face-to-face meeting would be useful. We will engage in those meetings as soon
as we have concepts and ideas that we feel are appealing to the manufacturers.
We expect to spend approximately $10,000 on advertising to solicit DVD concepts
and another approximately $40,000 during the next twelve months to hire
employees that will further develop and research those concepts. We will
advertise mostly on popular online websites. We will research those concepts by
conducting focus groups and asking volunteers to fill in questionnaires trying
to predict retail demand and interest in the different concepts.
We also plan to spend approximately $20,000 on buying rights for DVD concepts.
We hope to start generating Sales of product by the first quarter of 2003, as a
result of the efforts mentioned above and the with the web site becoming
operational by the end of the year.
We expect the $100,000 we have committed to be sufficient to fund our business
plan for the first twelve months, considering our expected expenditures as
outlined above. We intend to keep our corporate overhead at minimal levels until
we generate sales. As such, we don't have plans
for further funding.
Some of the shareholders of the
Company have agreed to provide sufficient funds as a loan over the next
twelve-month period. There are no written agreements. The understanding between
the Company and certain shareholders is that the shareholders will provide the
Company funds, as a loan, sufficient for it to maintain operations until it
generates revenues, or alternatively that the shareholders will introduce other
potential lenders to the Company.
8
From its inception to the time of filing this registration statement, DVD
AMERICA had no assets or operations. We have completed a private placement
providing us with the funds to implement our business plan. The Company believes
that it will not need to raise additional funds in the next twelve months. Aside
from the above referenced private placement and the business plan, we have so
far not taken any other steps in furtherance of our business plan.
Intellectual Property
We have no trademark, copyright or patent protection at this time.
Generally, while some DVD concepts that we plan to acquire may be entitled to
patent protection, the majority of them will not meet the criteria for a patent
protection. Some concepts may be eligible for a limited degree of protection
provided by design and concept patents. However, in general most concepts and
designs are protected only under the law of trade secrets. Under the law of
trade secrets, the secret is legally protected only for so long as it is not
disclosed to others other than by someone under an obligation to maintain its
secrecy. Currently, DVD AMERICA owns no DVD concepts. We intend to solicit new
concepts on our web site, through advertising and personal contacts, then
purchase them or the licensing rights to them, and develop and improve them.
Competition
We expect to face intense competition both in our efforts to market new DVD
concepts, designs and inventions to DVD manufacturers and in our efforts to get
new inventor customers for whom we can act as agent. There are several other
companies seeking to assist DVD concept creators. Insofar as marketing DVD
concepts and designs to the manufacturers is concerned, the major competition
will be from the manufacturers' own in-house production departments. There are
also independent DVD companies, many of which are sole proprietorships. The
principal basis on which industry participants compete is on the perceived value
of the DVD concept and the likelihood of it being manufactured and marketed. The
competition in the industry is intense, most of our competitors are better
funded and more experienced than us, our competitive position is not beneficial
and does not give us any advantages.
9
Properties
At present, DVD AMERICA owns no real property. DVD AMERICA currently
operates out of Alan Schram's office at 15303 Ventura Boulevard, Suite 1510,
Sherman Oaks, CA 91403. This space is provided to the Company on a rent-free
basis . The office is 2,084 square feet, and Mr. Schram's lease expires in June
2006. DVD AMERICA has only a temporary verbal license from Alan Schram to use
this office space for an unspecified amount of time. That license is revocable
at any time. We do not have any other preliminary agreements or understandings
with respect to this or any other office facility in the future. We believe our
present office space will be adequate for our needs for the foreseeable future,
and we may not be able to find an alternative suitable office space should we be
required to do so.
Employees
As of March 31, 2002, we had no employees, other than our sole officer and
Director, Alan Schram. Alan Schram is not subject to any employment agreement
and is currently working for us for no pay.
DIVIDEND POLICY
We have never declared or paid any cash dividends on our common stock. We
anticipate that any earnings will be retained for development and expansion of
our business and we do not anticipate paying any cash dividends in the
foreseeable future. Our board of directors has sole discretion to pay cash
dividends based on our financial condition, results of operations, capital
requirements, contractual obligations and other relevant factors.
DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS
The Company plans to license DVD concepts and designs to DVD manufacturers
and to act as a DVD concept inventor's agent in licensing DVD concepts developed
by others. We will seek concepts that are family oriented and that appeal to as
large an audience as possible. These concepts may include music, entertainment,
cartoons, or comedy. We expect to market these DVD concepts and designs by both
direct meetings with DVD manufacturers' representatives and through a web site
that will give the manufacturers an opportunity to review pictures and
descriptions of new concepts at a single source to decide whether a face-to-face
meeting would be useful. In both face-to-face meetings and disclosure of DVD
concepts and designs over the Internet, a submission sheet will be used that
describes the DVD concept and the authorized manufacturer who is viewing the DVD
concept. We have had no operations to date.
We plan to develop concepts based on ideas we will obtain from submissions
on our web site. We plan for the web page to solicit new DVD concepts from
individuals by publishing challenges for DVD concept competitions, set up chat
rooms for discussions of ideas, and create an online message board for the
exchange of concepts and ideas in real time.
10
We also plan to develop concepts invented by our President. Upon the
receipt or development of a DVD concept we will look at it to see if it makes
sense or has been done before. Then we will evaluate the DVD concept to
determine if it is something we think a DVD manufacturer and retailer can and
would manufacture and market. Then we will evaluate whether the DVD concept is
expandable into a brand, and whether it may be suitable for a series of related
features. We will research those concepts by conducting focus groups and asking
volunteers to fill in questionnaires trying to predict retail demand and
interest in the different concepts. DVD concepts will be selected based
primarily on our judgment of the chances achieving commercial success.
Considerations will include how unique the DVD concept is, the amount of any
additional work required to bring the concept to a production stage and
management's subjective "feel" for whether the concept is in line with current
consumer desires. These same considerations will affect the prominence we give
to a particular concept on our Web pages and the degree of effort put into
marketing that concept to DVD manufacturers.
We will develop the concepts obtained with an orientation towards creating
a brand or a series of related features, and cater for the demand of the public
for entertainment products. We will develop these concepts by hiring writers to
develop a script that will highlight the marketing and entertainment potential
of the concept. We plan to do only minimal development to the concepts and ideas
prior to soliciting DVD manufacturers, and we will limit our role to locating
promising ideas and persuading DVD manufacturers to develop them.
We plan to contact manufacturers directly through personal contacts of our
President, seek to meet with them and offer our concepts to them. While our
President does not have industry experience, he has obtained personal contacts
in the industry through social acquaintances and via his strong personal
interest and close following of the entertainment industry in general and the
DVD industry in particular. Our President had discussions with industry
executives and extensively read industry trade publications. Once our web site
is developed, we are planning to use it to give the manufacturers an opportunity
to review pictures and descriptions of new concepts and determine their level of
interest. It is our goal to continuously develop our web site and include in it
relevant promotional materials, to create a unique, value added service, that
will become an indispensable tool for manufacturers to obtain new concepts and
ideas.
Before we approach DVD manufacturers or allow them access to our web
site, We will require them to sign a confidentiality and non-disclosure
agreement, so that they do not purloin our ideas and concepts. Our web site will
only allow previews to registered and authorized partners.
The fundamental elements of our sales and marketing strategy are to build
brand recognition and attract new concept and ideas. We plan to continuously
develop our web site and include in it relevant promotional materials. We also
plan to continuously approach DVD manufacturers with our concepts. In addition,
We plan to promote our web site in various inventors' magazines and trade shows,
and in various trade publications.

Industry Background
DVD technology is similar in functionality to CD-ROM and CD-Audio
technology; however, a DVD, which is the same size as a CD, is able to store
substantially more data than a CD. A typical DVD can hold a 135-minute motion
picture with up to eight different spoken language tracks, thirty-two foreign
language subtitles and six-channel, digital-surround sound. Added features,
including the movie's soundtrack, director's notes, story-based games and other
CD-ROM applications are also possible with the higher storage capacity afforded
with DVDs. As a result, we believe the DVD format will be the first medium to
embrace and allow for cross-promotion between video, audio and software
products. We believe DVDs will initially compete most directly with sales and
rentals of pre-recorded videotapes.
DVD players have become more affordable and are currently available from
several manufacturers at retail prices generally ranging from $250 to $1,000.
Forrester Research reports that by the end of 2000, less than four years since
its launch, 4.3 million DVD players will be installed in North American
households, far outpacing the debut of both the CD player and VCR in their first
years. Paul Kagan Associates estimates that the installed base of DVD players in
U.S. households will increase from 1.1 million in 1998 to 12.0 million in 2002,
which represents a compounded annual growth rate of 82%. We believe that as the
installed base of DVD players increases, the demand for DVD-Video titles will
also increase. Currently, over 3,000 motion picture titles are available on the
DVD format and we expect that number to grow rapidly as the format gains
popularity. Paul Kagan Associates also estimates that DVD-Video discs sold in
the United States will increase from 13.4 million discs in 1998 to approximately
159.6 million discs in 2002, which represents a compounded annual growth rate of
86%. Paul Kagan Associates also estimates that annual U.S. DVD-Video sales will
be $2.9 billion in 2002. International Data Corporation predicts approximately
16.0 million DVD-ROM drives will be installed in personal computers in the
United States during 2002, up from an estimated 8.3 million DVD-ROM drives to be
installed in 1999. Microsoft's Windows operating system supports DVD, and Intel
Corporation has started shipping a new DVD-compatible product.
Another important advantage of the DVD format, which we believe will
accelerate its market penetration, is its backwards compatibility. DVD players
and DVD-ROM drives are designed to read CD-Audio and CD-ROMs, which we expect to
increase consumers' acceptance of this new technology. Unlike the introduction
of CDs, consumers will be able to acquire the new DVD technology without making
their music collections obsolete because DVD players will also be capable of
playing CD-Audio. We believe these factors will contribute to the DVD format
becoming the standard medium for home video, music, games and software
distribution.
We believe that the business of most DVD companies relies on the continuing
development of new products for continuing market acceptance. We believe that
most leading DVD manufacturers deal with a number of independent producers.
We believe that in recent years, the DVD industry has experienced rapid
growth. This is in part because the manufacturers no offer a range of products
across a broader variety of categories. The DVD industry is also experiencing
12
greater market acceptance and greater retail distribution channels, such as
large specialty stores, rental stores and discount retailers, including
Wal-Mart, Blockbuster and Target, which have increased their overall share of
the retail market.
We believe that the larger DVD companies have pursued a strategy of
focusing on core product lines. Core product lines are those lines that are
expected to be marketed for an extended period of time, and that historically
provided relatively consistent growth in sales and profitability. By focusing on
core product lines, DVD manufacturers have been able to reduce their reliance on
new product introductions and the associated risk and volatility. We believe
therefore that the role of the innovating agent will become increasingly
important if a new concept is to reach the marketplace.
We believe that ideas developed by an independent DVD company are usually
acquired on an exclusive basis. Licensing agreements generally require the
manufacturer to pay the DVD company a royalty on the manufacturer's net sales of
the item. The royalty agreements usually also provide for advance royalties and
minimum guarantees.
The Role of a DVD concept's Agent
We believe that a significant number of new DVD concepts come from amateur
inventors. Some of these inventors may have developed only a single idea, and
most of them don't have experience in dealing with DVD manufacturers. We
believe, from our President's observation of the business and practices of
certain industry participants, that for a variety of reasons the major DVD
manufacturers prefer to deal through a broker in negotiating arrangements with
amateur inventors. We believe that many amateur inventors often suspect that the
manufacturer may "steal" his or her invention once it is disclosed. However,
often when a concept is presented to a DVD manufacturer, the manufacturer has
seen the idea before or has developed itself. The manufacturer will state this,
usually in writing on a disclosure form. DVD agents and professional inventors
are accustomed to this process; and there is a level of trust. We believe that
an amateur, on the other hand, often doesn't trust the DVD manufacturer and may
think his or her idea may be stolen.
In addition, we believe that the inventor may have unrealistic expectations
concerning the potential value of his concept or may underestimate the amount of
additional development plans required to bring to market. The professional DVD
agent is familiar with the process of developing the concept from the initial
idea through the completion of a prototype. The DVD agent also knows the
prevailing amounts of royalties and other practices in the industry. The DVD
agent can independently confirm to the inventor the problems that may be facing
the manufacturer in bringing the idea to market, or, if appropriate, persuade
the manufacturer that a higher royalty is appropriate.
13
Sources of Revenue
We expect to earn money primarily from two sources. First, we will seek to
license the DVD concepts that may be developed by us. Second, we will receive a
portion of the royalties paid to the concept inventor we expect to represent as
agent. Additionally, we will also seek revenue from the sale of banner ads on
the web page we are planning to create. We expect that any revenue from the sale
of banner ads to be minimal.
We believe that DVD concept developers usually are paid for their
inventions through a royalty on sales of the products they create. We believe
that typical royalties range from 3% to 10% of the wholesale price charged by
the manufacturer, with most royalties falling at or near 5%. The royalty is
based on the price the manufacturer charges to its customers -- usually the
wholesale cost. The basis for our estimate of percent royalties is discussions
with industry executives and reading of industry materials, trade publications
and business magazines.
Manufacturers also pay advances, to show that they are committed to the
idea. Usually the advance is based on the royalties that would be earned in the
first quarter of shipments. We believe that typically the advance ranges from
$5,000 to $50,000. The advance is subtracted from future royalties. Generally,
royalties are paid quarterly.
Where we are licensing our own concepts, we will receive the entire
royalty. Where we are acting as a broker for another inventor or concept
developer, our percentage will be subject to negotiation with the developer. We
believe that it will generally range from 40% to 50% of the royalty received by
the developer, with the actual percentage negotiated on a case-by-case basis
depending upon, among other things, the amount of assistance we have to give the
developer in order to bring his product to a marketable state.
Selection Criteria
DVD concepts for which we will act as agent will be selected based
primarily on our judgment of the chances of their achieving commercial success
and yielding significant royalties. Considerations will include how unique the
DVD concept is, the likelihood of getting meaningful patent protection, the
amount of any additional work required to bring the concept to a production
stage and management's subjective "feel" for whether the concept is in line with
current consumer desires. These same considerations will affect the prominence
we give to a particular concept on our Web pages and the degree of effort put
into marketing that concept to DVD manufacturers.
14
Consultants
Management does not intend to substantially rely on consultants or outside
advisors to accomplish the business goals of the Company. Our policy regarding
the use of consultants is to limit their service for the initial period of
establishing the Company's operations, compensating them on an hourly basis and
retaining them only when a full time employee could not be hired or if a full
time, permanent employee that is qualified to perform the necessary task could
not be found. We would only consider hiring independent consultants in the event
that no qualified full time employee Could be found, and that the experience
level of the independent consultant in the specific area of service the Company
is seeking would substantially exceed that of any other full time employee
available to the Company. We would limit any service by an independent
consultant to the possible minimum term and scope. The Company used consultants
and advisors to form the Company and establish its business plan, but does not
Plan to continue using them past that initial stage. So far, the Company did not
make any cash payments to any consultants or advisors, and does not plan to make
such payments in the future. There are no contracts with any consultants or
outside advisors. No officer, director or affiliate of the Company had ever used
any consultant or advisor on a regular basis. Other than our President,
management does not envision any particular person whose activities will be
material to the operations of the Company.

CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS
In April 2002 DVD AMERICA issued 1,000,000 shares of its common stock to Mid
Pacific Investment Corporation, in exchange for $100,000 in cash receivable. Mid
Pacific Investment Corporation is controlled by our Chairman and CEO, Alan
Schram. These shares were valued at $.10 per share. Since inception, Mr. Schram
also donated $3,000 to the company to pay for operating expenses.
We believe that the terms of the above transaction are commercially reasonable
and no less favorable to us than we could have obtained from an unaffiliated
third party on an arm's length basis. To the extent we may enter into any
agreements with related parties in the future, the board of directors has
determined that such agreements must be on similar terms.
INDEMNIFICATION AND LIMITATION OF
LIABILITY OF MANAGEMENT
Our articles of incorporation contain provisions permitted under the Nevada
Corporations Code relating to the liability of directors. The provisions
eliminate a director's liability to stockholders for monetary damages for a
breach of fiduciary duty, except in circumstances involving wrongful acts,
including the breach of a director's duty of loyalty or acts or omissions which
involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law. Our certificate of
incorporation also contains provisions obligating us to indemnify our directors
and officers to the fullest extent permitted by the General Corporation Law of
Nevada. We believe that these provisions will assist us in attracting and
retaining qualified individuals to serve as directors.
Following the close of this offering, we will be subject to the State of
Nevada's business combination statute. In general, the statute prohibits a
publicly held Nevada corporation from engaging in a business combination with a
person who is an interested stockholder for a period of three years after the
date of the transaction in which that person became an interested stockholder,
unless the business combination is approved in a prescribed manner. A business
combination includes a merger, asset sale or other transaction resulting in a
financial benefit to the interested stockholder. An interested stockholder is a
person who, together with affiliates, owns, or, within three years prior to the
proposed business combination, did own 15% or more of our voting stock. The
statute could prohibit or delay mergers or other takeovers or change in control
attempts and, accordingly, may discourage attempts to acquire us.
As permitted by Nevada law under Nevada Revised Statutes 78.037, we intend to
eliminate the personal liability of our directors for monetary damages for
breach or alleged breach of their fiduciary duties as directors, subject to
exceptions. In addition, our bylaws provide that we are required to indemnify
our officers and directors, employees and agents under circumstances, including
those circumstances in which indemnification would otherwise be discretionary,
and we would be required to advance expenses to our officers and directors as
17
incurred in proceedings against them for which they may be indemnified. The
bylaws provide that we, among other things, will indemnify officers and
directors, employees and agents against liabilities that may arise by reason of
their status or service as directors, officers, or employees, other than
liabilities arising from willful misconduct, and to advance their expenses
incurred as a result of any proceeding against them as to which they could be
indemnified. At present, we are not aware of any pending or threatened
litigation or proceeding involving a director, officer, employee or agent of
ours in which indemnification would be required or permitted. We believe that
our charter provisions and indemnification agreements are necessary to attract
and retain qualified persons as directors and officers.
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may
be permitted to directors, officers, and controlling persons under these
provisions or otherwise, we have been advised that in the opinion of the
Securities and Exchange Commission, indemnification is against public policy as
expressed in the Act and is unenforceable.

PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION
The shares covered by this prospectus may be offered and sold from time to time
by the selling stockholders. The term "selling stockholder" includes donees,
pledgees, transferees or other successors-in-interest selling shares received
after the date of this prospectus from a selling stockholder as a gift, pledge,
partnership distribution or other non-sale related transfer. The selling
stockholders will act independently of us in making decisions with respect to
the timing, manner and size of each sale. The selling stockholders may sell
their shares through registered broker-dealers by ordinary brokerage
transactions and transactions in which the broker solicits purchasers.
In addition, any shares that qualify for sale under Rule 144 may be sold under
Rule 144 rather that through this prospectus. In offering the shares covered by
this prospectus, the selling stockholders and any broker-dealers who execute
sales for the selling stockholders may be deemed to be "underwriter" within the
meaning of the Securities Act in connection with such sales. Any profits
realized by the selling stockholders and the compensation of any broker-dealer
may be deemed to be underwriting discounts and commissions.
Selling shareholders may sell their shares in all 50 states in the U.S. DVD
AMERICA will be profiled in the Standard & Poor's publications or "manuals".
MARKET FOR COMMON EQUITY
Market Information
There is no public trading market on which DVD AMERICA's Common Stock is traded.
DVD AMERICA has engaged a broker/dealer to file a Form 211 with the National
Association of Securities Dealers ("NASD") in order to allow the quote of DVD
AMERICA's common stock on the NASD Over the Counter Bulletin Board (OTCBB).
There is no assurance that our common stock will be included on the OTCBB.
21
There are approximately thirty-five (35) record holders of common equity.
There are no outstanding options or warrants to purchase, or securities
convertible into, common equity of DVD AMERICA.
We have outstanding 5,066,500 shares of our common stock. Of these shares,
Following the effective date of this prospectus, 4,066,500 shares will be
"restricted securities" as defined by Rule 144, and can be sold only subject to
the restrictions of Rule 144. 1,000,000 shares will be freely tradable without
restriction under the Securities Act unless held by our "affiliates" as that
term is defined in Rule 144 under the Securities Act. These shares will be
eligible for sale in the public marker, subject to certain volume limitations
and the expiration of applicable holding periods under Rule 144 under the
Securities Act. Non-affiliates currently hold 44% of our outstanding shares. In
general, under Rule 144 as currently in effect, a person (or persons whose
shares are aggregated) who has beneficially owned restricted shares for at least
one year (including the holding period of any prior owner or affiliate) would be
entitled to sell within any three-month period a number of shares that does not
exceed the greater of (1)% of the number of shares of common stock then
outstanding or (2) the average weekly trading volume of the common stock during
the four calendar weeks preceding the filing of a From 144 with respect to such
sale. Sales under Rule 144 are also subject to certain manner of sale provisions
and notice requirements and to the availability of current public information
about us. Under Rule 144(k), a person who is not deemed to have been an
affiliate of us at any time during the three months preceding a sale, and who
has beneficially owned the shares proposed to be sold for at least two years
(including the holding period of any prior owner except an affiliate), is
entitled to sell such shares without complying with the manner of sale, public
information, volume limitation or notice provisions of Rule 144.
We can offer no assurance that an active public market in our shares will
develop. Future sales of substantial amounts of our shares in the public market
could adversely affect market prices prevailing from time to time and could
impair our ability to raise capital through the sale of our equity securities.
LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
We are not a party to nor are we aware of any existing, pending or threatened
lawsuits or other legal actions.
LEGAL MATTERS
Certain legal matters, including the legality of the issuance of the shares of
common stock offered herein, are being passed upon for us by our counsel, Oswald

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT
Board of Directors
DVD America Corporation, Inc.
Las Vegas, NV
I have audited the Balance Sheets of DVD America Corporation, Inc. (the
"Company") (A Development Stage Company), as of April 30, 2002, and the related
Statements of Operations, Stockholders' Equity, and Cash Flows for the period
April 19, 2002 (Date of Inception) to April 30, 2002. These financial statements
are the responsibility of the Company's management. My responsibility is to
express an opinion on these financial statements based on my audit.
I conducted my audit in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards in
the United States of America. Those standards require that I 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 statement
presentation. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used
and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall
financial statement presentation. I believe that my audit provides a reasonable
basis for my opinion.
In my opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all
material respects, the financial position of DVD America Corporation, Inc. (A
Development Stage Company) as of April 30, 2002, and the results of its
operations and cash flows for the period April 19, 2002 (Date of Inception) to
April 30, 2002, in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in
the United States of America.
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company
will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 3 to the financial
statements, the Company has had limited operations and have not commenced
planned principal operations. This raises substantial doubt about its ability to
continue as a going concern. Management's plan in regard to these matters are
also described in Note 3. The financial statements do not include any
adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
APRIL 30, 2002
NOTE 1 - HISTORY AND ORGANIZATION OF THE COMPANY
The Company was organized April 19, 2002 (Date of Inception) under the laws of
the State of Nevada, as DVD America Corporation. The Company has no operations
and in accordance with SFAS #7, the Company is considered a development stage
company.
On April 26, 2002, the Company amended its articles of incorporation to increase
its authorized capital to 50,000,000 shares of common stock with a par value of
$0.001 and 1,500,000 shares of preferred stock with a par value of $0.001.
NOTE 2 - ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND PROCEDURES
Cash and cash equivalents
- -------------------------
For the purpose of the statements of cash flows, all highly liquid
investments with an original maturity of three months or less are considered
to be cash equivalents. There are no cash equivalents as of April 30, 2002.
Revenue recognition
- -------------------
The Company recognizes revenue and related costs of sales on the accrual
basis.
Advertising costs
- -----------------
The Company expenses all costs of advertising as incurred. There were no
advertising costs included in general and administrative expenses as of April
30, 2002.
Use of estimates
- ----------------
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with 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 revenue and expenses during the reporting period.
Actual results could differ from those estimates.

NOTE 2 - ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND PROCEDURES (CONTINUED)
Fair value of financial instruments
- -----------------------------------
Fair value estimates discussed herein are based upon certain market
assumptions and pertinent information available to management as of April 30,
2002. The respective carrying value of certain on-balance-sheet financial
instruments approximated their fair values. These financial instruments
include cash and accounts payable. Fair values were assumed to approximate
carrying values for cash and payables because they are short term in nature
and their carrying amounts approximate fair values or they are payable on
demand.
Impairment of long-lived assets
- -------------------------------
Long-lived assets held and used by the Company are reviewed for possible
impairment whenever events or circumstances indicate the carrying amount of
an asset may not be recoverable or is impaired. No such impairments have been
identified by management at April 30, 2002.
Reporting on the costs of start-up activities
- ---------------------------------------------
Statement of Position 98-5 (SOP 98-5), "Reporting on the Costs of Start-Up
Activities," which provides guidance on the financial reporting of start-up
costs and organizational costs, requires most costs of start-up activities
and organizational costs to be expensed as incurred. SOP 98-5 is effective
for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 1998. With the adoption of SOP
98-5, there has been little or no effect on the Company's financial
statements.
Loss per share
- --------------
Net loss per share is provided in accordance with Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards No. 128 (SFAS #128) "Earnings Per Share". Basic loss per
share is computed by dividing losses available to common stockholders by the
weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. The
Company had no dilutive common stock equivalents, such as stock options or
warrants as of April 30, 2002.
Dividends
- ---------
The Company has not yet adopted any policy regarding payment of dividends. No
dividends have been paid or declared since inception.

NOTE 2 - ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND PROCEDURES (CONTINUED)
Segment reporting
- -----------------
The Company follows Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 130,
"Disclosures About Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information." The
Company operates as a single segment and will evaluate additional segment
disclosure requirements as it expands its operations.
Income taxes
- ------------
The Company follows Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 109,
"Accounting for Income Taxes" ("SFAS No. 109") for recording the provision
for income taxes. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are computed based upon
the difference between the financial statement and income tax basis of assets
and liabilities using the enacted marginal tax rate applicable when the
related asset or liability is expected to be realized or settled. Deferred
income tax expenses or benefits are based on the changes in the asset or
liability each period. If available evidence suggests that it is more likely
than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be
realized, a valuation allowance is required to reduce the deferred tax assets
to the amount that is more likely than not to be realized. Future changes in
such valuation allowance are included in the provision for deferred income
taxes in the period of change.
Deferred income taxes may arise from temporary differences resulting from
income and expense items reported for financial accounting and tax purposes
in different periods. Deferred taxes are classified as current or
non-current, depending on the classification of assets and liabilities to
which they relate. Deferred taxes arising from temporary differences that are
not related to an asset or liability are classified as current or non-current
depending on the periods in which the temporary differences are expected to
reverse.
Recent pronouncements
- ---------------------
In June 2001, SFAS No. 141, "Business Combinations," and SFAS No. 142,
"Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets," were issued. SFAS No. 141 requires
that all business combinations initiated after June 30, 2001 be accounted for
using the purchase method of accounting, and that identifiable intangible
assets acquired in a business combination be recognized as an asset apart
from goodwill, if they meet certain criteria. The impact of the adoption of
SFAS No. 141 on our reported operating results, financial position and
existing financial statement disclosure is not expected to be material.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE 2 - ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND PROCEDURES (CONTINUED)
Recent pronouncements (continued)
- ---------------------------------
SFAS No. 142 applies to all goodwill and identified intangible assets
acquired in a business combination. Under the new standard, all goodwill and
indefinite-lived intangible assets, including that acquired before initial
application of the standard, will not be amortized but will be tested for
impairment at least annually. The new standard is effective for fiscal years
beginning after December 15, 2001. Adoption of SFAS No. 142 effective January
1, 2002, will result in the elimination of approximately $82,000 of annual
amortization. The Company does not expect to recognize any impaired goodwill
as of January 1, 2002.
In July 2001, SFAS No. 143, "Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations,"
was issued which requires the recognition of a liability for an asset
retirement obligation in the period in which it is incurred. When the
liability is initially recorded, the carrying amount of the related
long-lived asset is correspondingly increased. Over time, the liability is
accreted to its present value and the related capitalized charge is
depreciated over the useful life of the asset. SFAS No. 143 is effective for
fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2002. The impact of the adoption of
SFAS No. 143 on the Company's reported operating results, financial position
and existing financial statement disclosure is not expected to be material.
In August 2001, SFAS No. 144, "Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of
Long-Lived Assets," was issued. This statement addresses the financial
accounting and reporting for the impairment or disposal of long-lived assets
and broadens the definition of what constitutes a discontinued operation and
how results of a discontinued operation are to be measured and presented. The
provisions of SFAS No. 144 are effective for financial statements issued for
fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2001. The impact of the adoption of
SFAS No. 144 on our reported operating results, financial position and
existing financial statement disclosure is not expected to be material.
Stock-Based Compensation
- -----------------------
The Company accounts for stock-based awards to employees in accordance with
Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to
Employees" and related interpretations and has adopted the disclosure-only
alternative of FAS No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation."
Options granted to consultants, independent representatives and other
non-employees are accounted for using the fair value method as prescribed by
FAS No. 123.

Year end
- --------
The Company has adopted December 31 as its fiscal year end.
NOTE 3 - GOING CONCERN
The Company's financial statements are prepared using the generally accepted
accounting principles applicable to a going concern, which contemplates the
realization of assets and liquidation of liabilities in the normal course of
business. However, the Company has not commenced its planned principal
operations and it has not generated any revenues. In order to obtain the
necessary capital, the Company is seeking equity and/or debt financing. If the
financing does not provide sufficient capital, some of the shareholders of the
Company have agreed to provide sufficient funds as a loan over the next
twelve-month period. However, the Company is dependent upon its ability to
secure equity and/or debt financing and there are no assurances that the Company
will be successful, without sufficient financing it would be unlikely for the
Company to continue as a going concern.
NOTE 4 - INCOME TAXES
The Company accounts for income taxes under Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes" ("SFAS No. 109"), which
requires use of the liability method. SFAS No. 109 provides that deferred tax
assets and liabilities are recorded based on the differences between the tax
bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts for financial
reporting purposes, referred to as temporary differences. Deferred tax assets
and liabilities at the end of each period are determined using the currently
enacted tax rates applied to taxable income in the periods in which the deferred
tax assets and liabilities are expected to be settled or realized.
The provision for income taxes differs from the amount computed by applying the
statutory federal income tax rate to income before provision for income taxes.
The sources and tax effects of the differences are as follows:
U.S federal statutory rate (34.0%)
Valuation reserve 34.0%

=======
As of April 30, 2002, the Company has a net operating loss carry forward of
approximately $406,650 respectively, for tax purposes, which will be available
to offset future taxable income. If not used, this carry forward will expire in
2022.

The Company amended its articles of incorporation on April 26, 2002 to increase
its authorized common stock to 50,000,000 shares and preferred stock to
1,500,000 shares and to decrease its par value from $0.01 to $0.001. The number

Office space and services are provided without charge by a director and
shareholder. Such costs are immaterial to the financial statements and,
accordingly, have not been reflected therein. The officers and directors of the
Company are involved in other business activities and may, in the future, become
involved in other business opportunities. If a specific business opportunity
becomes available, such persons may face a conflict in selecting between the
Company and their other business interests. The Company has not formulated a
policy for the resolution of such conflicts.

The Registrant undertakes:
(1) To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being
made, post-effective amendment to this registration statement (the
"Registration Statement"):
i) To include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the
Securities Act of 1933 (the "Securities Act");
(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.
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 20 percent
change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the
"Calculation of Registration Fee" table in the effective
registration statement;
II-3
(iii) 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 this
registration statement, including (but not limited to) the
addition of an underwriter.
(2) That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the
Securities Act, each such post-effective amendment shall be treated as a
new registration statement of the securities offered, and the offering of
the securities at that time 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.
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may
be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the Registrant
pursuant to any provisions contained in its Certificate of Incorporation, or
by-laws, or otherwise, the Registrant has been advised that in the opinion of
the SEC such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the
Securities 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 whether
indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities
Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
