This information statement is being furnished to the holders of common
stock, par value $.001 per share, of Carsunlimited.com, Inc. ("Carsunlimited" or
the "Company"), in connection with the proposed sale of substantially all of the
assets of Carsunlimited, a Nevada corporation, to Anthony Genova, Jr., its
current President.
We believe the asset sale is in the best interests of Carsunlimited and its
shareholders. The asset sale has the unanimous support of our Board of
Directors, and our controlling shareholders have consented in writing to the
asset sale pursuant to a proposed asset purchase agreement dated June 17, 2002
which contains standard and customary terms and conditions and which was
approved by our Board of Directors. This action by our controlling shareholders
is sufficient to ensure that a majority of our shareholders approve the asset
sale without the vote of any other shareholder. Accordingly, your approval is
not required and is not being sought. The sale of assets described in this
information statement will not become effective until 20 days from the date of
mailing of a definitive Information Statement to our shareholders.
Carsunlimited.com shareholders will not receive any cash, stock or other
property in connection with, or as a result of, the sale of assets.
Carsunlimited.com common stock will, subject to regulatory requirements,
continue to be quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board, and Carsunlimited.com will make

INTRODUCTION
This information statement is being mailed or otherwise furnished to
shareholders of Carsunlimited.com, Inc., a Nevada corporation (the "Company"),
in connection with the prior approval by our Board of Directors, and receipt by
the Board of approval by written consent of the holders of a majority of the
outstanding shares of the Company's common stock, of the sale of substantially
all of the assets of the Company.
On May 22, 2002 five of our shareholders, Anthony Genova, Lawrence Genova,
Joseph Marks, William Quinn and Michael Makropoulos ("Sellers") entered into a
stock purchase agreement whereby they agreed to sell an aggregate of 21,000,000
shares of the Company's common stock (the "Stock Agreement") which will result
in a change in control of the Company. As a result, at the Closing under the
Stock Agreement, the current officers and directors of the Company will resign,
and persons designated by the buyers in that agreement will be appointed as the
new officers and directors of the Company. The sale of substantially all of our
assets as described in this Information Statement is a condition precedent to
the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Stock Agreement.
Attached to this Information Statement as Appendix A is our current report on
Form 8-K, dated May 23, 2002, which provides disclosure regarding the Stock
Agreement. Attached to this Information Statement as Appendix B is an
Information Statement on Schedule 14F-1, dated June 17, 2002, which provides
disclosure regarding the change of our directors and management, which will
occur upon consummation of the transaction contemplated by the Stock Agreement.
Our Board of Directors believes the asset sale, as required by the Stock
Agreement, is in the best interest of the Company and its shareholders. The
asset sale has the unanimous support of our Board of Directors, and our
controlling shareholders have consented in writing to the asset sale pursuant to
a proposed asset purchase agreement, which contains standard and customary terms
and conditions. This action by our controlling shareholders is sufficient to
ensure that a majority of our shareholders approve the asset sale without the
vote of any other shareholder. Accordingly, your approval is not required and is
not being sought.
This Information Statement is furnished solely for the purpose of informing
shareholders in the manner required under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934,
as amended, of these actions before they take effect.
We Are Not Asking You For A Proxy and You Are Requested Not To Send Us A Proxy.
The principal executive offices of the Company are located at PO Box 446,
Sea Cliff, New York 11579. The approximate date on which this Information
Statement was first sent or given to holders of the Company's common stock, par
value $.001 per share (the "Common Stock") shall be on or about June 27, 2002.
VOTING
Our ability to sell the assets without having a special meeting is
authorized by Section 78.320 of the Nevada Revised Statutes, (the "Nevada Law").
This Section provides that the written consent of the holders of outstanding
shares of voting capital stock, having not less that the minimum number of votes
which would be necessary to authorize or take the action at a meeting at which
all shares entitled to vote on a matter were present and voted, may be
substituted for the special meeting. In accordance with Nevada Law, the Company
secured the written consent of a majority of the shareholders of the Company's
Common Stock, approving the sale of substantially all of the Company's assets.
As a result of the action of the majority of the shareholders of the Company,
proxies will not be solicited and no additional vote shall be taken on these
matters.
Only shareholders of the Company's Common Stock of record at the close of
business on June 4, 2002 (the "Record Date") were entitled to receipt of the
written action approving the matters described above. Each holder of Common
Stock was entitled to one vote on each of the foregoing matters, for each share
of Common Stock held by such shareholder. There were outstanding on the Record
Date 26,530,000 shares of Common Stock (Such figure includes an aggregate of
2,550,000 shares of our common stock which have been authorized for issuance;
however, these shares have not yet been physically delivered to their respective
shareholders due to the Company's inability to make payment to its transfer
agent on outstanding invoices.)
Under Nevada law and the Company's bylaws, any action that may be taken at
an annual meeting of shareholders may be taken without a meeting, without prior
notice and without a vote if a consent in writing, setting forth the action so
taken, shall be signed by the holders of outstanding stock having not less than
the minimum number of votes that would be necessary to authorize or take such
action at a meeting at which all shares entitled to vote thereon were present
and voted. The action of shareholders by written consent holding a majority of
the issued and outstanding shares of the Company approved the asset sale,
effective on or about June 4, 2002. A copy of the type written consent is
attached to the Information Statement as Appendix C.
WE ARE NOT ASKING YOU FOR A PROXY AND YOU ARE REQUESTED NOT TO SEND US A PROXY.
CARSUNLIMITED.COM, INC.
ASSET SALE
This information statement is being mailed or otherwise furnished to
shareholders of Carsunlimited.com, Inc., a Nevada corporation (the "Company"),
in connection with the prior approval by our Board of Directors, and receipt by
the Board of approval by written consent of the holders of a majority of the
outstanding shares of the Company's common stock, of the sale of substantially
all of the assets of the Company.
Q: WHAT TRANSACTION IS BEING PROPOSED?
A: We are selling substantially all of our assets used in the operations of our
automobile warranty business to Anthony Genova, Jr., our current President.
Q: WHAT ARE THE REASONS FOR THE ASSET SALE?
A: Due to our financial projections and the inability to continue ongoing
operations with our current cash flow, along with other factors including the
level of competition in the auto/warranty industry, the inability of the Company
to raise additional equity capital, the severe slowdown experienced in start up
businesses as the general economy fell into recession, and our sales diminished
and prospects and general economic conditions, our Board of Directors has deemed
it advisable and in the best interests of the Company and our shareholders to
enter into the Stock Agreement as outlined above. The sale of substantially all
of our assets is a condition precedent to the consummation of the transactions
contemplated by the Stock Agreement.
Q: WHAT VOTE OF SHAREHOLDERS IS REQUIRED TO APPROVE THE ASSET SALE?
A: Approval of the asset sale requires approval by a majority of the holders of
all outstanding shares of the Company. Our controlling shareholders believe that
it is in the best interests of the Company and our shareholders, and they have
consented in writing to the asset sale pursuant to an asset purchase agreement
containing customary and standard terms and conditions and approved by our Board
of Directors. The determination that the assets sale is in our best interests
was made by our board without the benefit of a fairness opinion or independent
appraisal. This action by our controlling shareholders is sufficient to obtain
the shareholder vote necessary to approve the asset sale without the approval of
any other shareholder. Therefore, you are not required to vote and your vote is
not being sought.
Q: WHEN WILL THE ASSET SALE BE COMPLETED?
A: We have been working towards completing the asset sale as quickly as
possible. The Sellers who have entered into a Stock Agreement expect to close
that transaction on or before June 28, 2002 and the sale of our assets will
become effective simultaneously with that closing.
Q: WILL I RECEIVE ANYTHING IN THIS TRANSACTION?
A: No. The Company's shareholders will not receive any cash, stock or other
property in connection with, or as a result of, the sale of assets.
Q: WILL I STILL BE ABLE TO SELL MY STOCK?
A: Yes. Our common stock will, subject to regulatory requirements, continue to
be quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board after the asset sale, and we will make
reasonable efforts to continue to file all required reports with the Securities
and Exchange Commission.
Q: WHOM DO I CALL IF I HAVE QUESTIONS?
A: If you have any questions, require assistance, or need additional copies of
this information statement or other related materials, you should call Anthony
Genova, Jr. our President, at 516-671-5551.
The following is a description of the material information from this information
statement and may not contain all of the information that is important to you.
To understand the asset sale fully, and for a more complete description of the
legal terms of the asset sale, you should carefully read this information
statement and all appendices to it and the documents to which we refer you.
Additional information about us has been filed with the SEC and is available
upon request without charge, as described under "Where You Can Find More
Information".
THE COMPANY
CarsUnlimited.com, Inc. was incorporated in the State of Nevada on March 7,
2000. Our Internet Web address is http://www.carsunlimited.com. We are an early
development stage company. Our initial goal was to provide our users with the
ability to search a database that contains detailed information about the
automobile industry, new and used car sales as well as a parts database and
extended warranty information from around the world. Our service was intended to
offer Internet users a quick and easy way to search for automobile related needs
according to their interests via the Internet. Since December, we determined
that the expected revenues from operations will not be sufficient to meet the
operating expenses and we sought to consummate a business combination with a
profitable privately owned company.
REASONS FOR THE ASSET SALE
Important factors in the Board of Director's determination to enter
into the proposed asset sale included, but were not limited to, the following:
our financial projections;
the questionable ability of the Company to continue to fund its
existing operations with our current cash flow;
the level of competition in the auto/warrant industry;
the inability of the Company to raise additional equity capital;
the effects of the events of September 11, 2001 on the New York
economy and our sales and prospects; and
general economic conditions.
Our Board of Directors believes that the proposed asset sale, and the
transactions contemplated by the Stock Purchase agreement which will, among
other things, cause a change in control of the officers and directors of the
Company, is in the best interest of the Company and its shareholders. The
determination that the assets sale is in our best interests was made by our
board without the benefit of a fairness opinion or independent appraisal. Our
Board of Directors unanimously:
approved the form, terms and provisions of the asset sale;
approved and declared the asset sale advisable pursuant to an asset
purchase agreement containing customary and standard terms and
provisions and approved by our Board of Directors; and
recommended that our shareholders approve and adopt the asset sale.
INTEREST OF EXECUTIVE OFFICERS AND DIRECTORS IN THE ASSET SALE AND STOCK
AGREEMENT; POTENTIAL CONFLICTS OF INTERST
You should be aware that one of our officers and directors has interests in
the asset sale that are different from, or in addition to, yours. Namely,
Anthony Genova, our Chairman, is the person buying substantially all of our
assets. Our Board of Directors was aware of these interests and considered them,
among other matters, in approving the asset sale.
Mr. Genova and the other officers and directors of the Company have entered
into the Stock Agreement for the sale of their personal common stock to sell
an approximate aggregate amount of 21,000,0000 shares. As such, if the proposed
transaction closes, the purchasers would obtain a majority control of the
Company's common stock and, as part of the negotiations, will become directors
of the Company. As part of the Stock Agreement, the Company must enter into
an asset sale agreement with Mr. Genova. As such, Mr. Genova benefits from the
asset sale and the officers and directors, as selling stockholders, benefit from
the closing of the stock sale transaction.
SHAREHOLDER VOTE REQUIRED TO APPROVE THE ASSET SALE
Approval of the asset sale requires approval by a majority of the holders
of all outstanding shares of our common stock. Our controlling shareholders have
consented in writing to the asset sale. The approval by our controlling
shareholders is the only approval from our shareholders required to approve the
asset sale pursuant to an asset purchase agreement containing customary and
standard terms and conditions.
CONSEQUENCES TO SHAREHOLDERS
Our shareholders will not receive any cash, stock or other property in
connection with, or as a result of, the sale of assets. Our common stock will,
subject to regulatory considerations, continue to be quoted on the OTC Bulletin
Board after the asset sale, and we will make reasonable efforts to continue to
file all required reports with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
OUR BUSINESS AFTER THE ASSET SALE
As the sale of the Company's assets is in connection with the Stock
Agreement outlined above, shareholders should note that the purchasers of the
21,000,000 shares of common stock (the "Buyers"), pursuant to the Stock
Agreement, have advised the Sellers of their intention to identify one or more
qualified target entities in order to acquire those qualified target entities or
otherwise effect a business combination of those entities with the Company (the
"Business Combination") after the Closing. In addition, the Buyers and the
Company agree that the number of common shares issuable in connection with a
Business Combination shall not exceed Seventy Four Million, Seven Hundred Eighty
Thousand (74,780,000) unless the Company obtains the prior written consent of
Anthony Genova. Without the prior written consent of Anthony Genova, which
consent may be withheld in his sole and exclusive discretion, the Buyers shall
not permit the Company to effect a Business Combination with an entity or
entities unless, at the consummation of the Business Combination, or series of
Business Combinations, the target entities have had, on a combined basis,
revenues of at least Two Million, Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($2,500,000) for
the last fiscal year.
CONSEQUENCES TO SHARHEOLDERS
Our shareholders will not receive any cash, stock or other property in
connection with, or as a result of, the sale of assets. Our common stock will,
subject to regulatory considerations and subject to any decision to seek an
orderly liquidation, continue to be quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board after the
asset sale, and we will make reasonable efforts to continue to file all required
reports with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
BACKGROUND OF THE TRANSACTION
Despite our efforts to increase sales revenue and reduce expenses in the
past year, we continued to experience a negative cash flow during 2001. After
considering several alternatives, the parties agreed that the asset sale, in
connection with the Stock Agreement, described in this information statement
was in the best interests of the Company and its shareholders.

wholly-owned by Mr. Lui. Mr. Lui is deemed to be the beneficial owner of these
10,500,000 shares.
The Company is not aware of any material proceeding to which any of Messrs.
Shih or Lui (the "Designees") is a party adverse to the interests of the Company
or has a material interest adverse to the Company. During the past five years,
none of the Designees has:
(1) Petitioned for bankruptcy or had a bankruptcy petition filed by or
against any business of which such person was a general partner or executive
officer either at the time of the bankruptcy or within two years prior to that
time;
(2) Been convicted in a criminal proceeding or is currently subject to
a pending criminal proceeding (excluding traffic violations and other minor
offenses);
(3) Been subject to any order, judgment or decree, not subsequently
reversed, suspended or vacated, of any court of competent jurisdiction,
permanently or temporarily enjoining, barring, suspending or otherwise limiting
his involvement in any type of business, securities or banking activities; or
(4) Been found by a court of competent jurisdiction (in a civil
action), the SEC or the Commodity Futures Trading Commission to have violated a
federal or state securities or commodities law, and the judgment has not been
reversed, suspended or vacated.
VOTE REQUIRED
The vote, which was required to approve the matters described above, was
the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of our voting capital stock.
Each holder of the Company's Common Stock is entitled to one (1) vote for each
share held. The record date for purposes of determining the number of
outstanding shares of Common Stock of the Company, and for determining
shareholders entitled to vote, was the close of business on June 4, 2002 (the
"Record Date").
VOTE OBTAINED
Our ability to sell the assets without having a special meeting of the
shareholders to approve the asset sale is authorized by Section 78.320 of the
Nevada Revised Statutes, (the "Nevada Law"). This Section provides that the
written consent of the holders of outstanding shares of voting capital stock,
having not less that the minimum number of votes which would be necessary to
authorize or take the action at a meeting at which all shares entitled to vote
on a matter were present and voted, may be substituted for the special meeting.
In order to eliminate the costs and management time involved in holding a
special meeting of shareholders and in order to effect the asset sale as early
as possible in order to accomplish the purposes of the Company, the Board of
Directors of the Company voted to utilize, and did in fact obtain, the written
consent of the holders of a majority in interest of the voting capital stock of
the Company. Accordingly, the shareholders will not be asked to take action on
the asset sale at any future meeting.
CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS
Lawrence Genova, brother of Anthony J. Genova, Jr., the Company's President
and a director, provided computer related services to the Company. The Company
has valued said services at $5,000 and on June 9, 2000 the Company, in
consideration for such services, sold to Lawrence Genova 100,000 shares of the
Company's Common Stock at a par value of $0.001, for a total purchase price of
$100.00
On July 20, 2001, Anthony J. Genova, Jr. transferred shares of common stock
to Joseph Marks, a Director of the Company, as consideration for Mr. Marks's
ongoing commitment to the Company in connection with Internet engineering and
assisting the Company in its process of becoming listed on the OTC Bulletin
Board.
CONFLICTS OF INTEREST
The current officers and directors of the Company are selling the Control
Shares to the Buyers. The sale of the Control Shares represents a potential
conflict of interest in that the Sellers are making a current profit on the sale
of their shares, irrespective of how other shareholders of the Company
subsequently fare, none of whom have an opportunity to sell their own shares in
such transaction nor to approve or consent to such sale. The Company has not
obtained a fairness opinion in connection with the valuation of the sale
of its assets.
MANAGEMENT OF THE COMPANY

board at any time. Vacancies are filled by a majority vote of the remaining
directors then in office. The directors and executive officers of the Company

On December 20, 2001, the Company entered into a commission based contract

Results of operations for the Fiscal Year Ended December 31, 2001
The Company's revenues for the year ended 2001 were $127,711 as compared to
the ten months ended December 31, 2000 (since inception on March 7, 2000) of
$136,845, a decrease of $9,134 for the period. The Company's revenues decreased
by 7%. Revenues are made up of commissions the Company earned on the products it
sells. The Company has no cost of goods sold.
The Company had no research and development cost for either fiscal years
ended on December 31, 2000 or 2001.
Salaries and related costs increased form $127,372 for 2000 to $140,535 for
2001, an increase of $13,163 (10%). The salaries for 2000 were for a period of
ten months as compared to the full year salaries for 2001.
Professional fees decreased from $386,588 in 2000 to $13,410 in 2001, a
decrease of $373,178 (97%). The amount of professional fees paid in 2000 was
primarily attributable to the Company's cost of registering and financing a
public company for listing on the NASD OTC Bulletin Board.
The Company paid sales commissions in the amount of $27,701 for the fiscal
year ended December 31, 2001 as compared to the year ended December 31, 2000 of
$43,797, a decrease of $16,096 or 37%. The Company used fewer outside sales
persons in 2001.
General and Administrative Expenses. Marketing, general and administrative
expenses decreased from $144,502 for the year 2000 to $103,348 for the year
2001,a decrease of $41,725 or 28%. The primary reason for such decrease was the
Company's reduced level of operations in 2001.
Total operating expenses decreased from $702,259 in the year 2000 to
$319,994 in the year 2001, a decrease of $382,265 or 54%. The decrease in
operating expenses was primarily attributed to the decrease in professional fees
incurred to start the Company.
The operating loss for the year 2001 was $192,233 as compared to the year
2000, which was $565,268, a decrease in the loss of $412,656 or 73%.
Due to losses incurred in the past two years and a shortage in working capital
of $175,190, the Company is considering selling the Company, as a reporting
trading company. On April 8, 2002, the Company entered into an agreement with
Constellation Partners, on a non-exclusive basis, to attempt to locate a buyer
for the sale or acquisition of the Company. Should Constellation Partners
provide a satisfactory candidate, Constellation Partners will be paid a one time
pre-set finder's fee of 10% of the amount received by the Company plus an
additional $10,000 and 10% of the common stock then retained by the selling
security holders. The Company can give no assurance that a transaction will be
consummated through the introductions made by Constellation Partners. Mr. Genova
and the other officers and directors of the Company have entered into a letter
of intent and are in the process of negotiating the sale of their personal
common stock to sell an approximate aggregate amount of 21,000,0000 shares. As
such, if the proposed transaction should be finalized, (i) the purchasers would
obtain a majority control of the Company's common stock and (ii) as part of the
negotiations, may become directors of the Company and (iii) the Company may sell
its Internet Web based business to Mr. Genova. The Comapny can give no assurance
that a transaction of any sort will be finalized or what the final terms of such
transaction may be.
Financial Condition
As of December 31,2001, cash totaled $867 as compared to $1977 at December
31,2000. Cash used by operating activities was $1,110 in 2001 as compared to
$182,895 in 2000. Net working capital deficit of the company was $176,190 in
2001 as compared to $53,718 in 2000.
Cash used for investing activities in 2000 was $9,678, which was for the
purchase of furniture and equipment. Financing activities provided $194,550 from
the issuance of common stock in the year 2000. The Company wrote down the cost
of equipment by $6,366 due to impairment of the expected future cash flows of
the equipment, in 2001.
For the period ended March 31, 2002
- -----------------------------------
Analysis of Financial Condition.
As of March 31, 2002 we had cash reserves of $1,012 and no other liquid assets
or resources. By comparison, as of December 31, 2001 our cash had increased by
$145. On March 31, 2002 we had total current liabilities of $204,257 compared
with $177, 057 on December 31, 2001. Our liabilities include accounts payable of
$54,643, unpaid salaries to officers of $114,195, and a payable to a business
consultant of $33,000.
Results of Operations
We realized revenue of $18,632 for the three months ended march 31, 2002 as
compared to $41,021 for period ending March 31, 2001. The revenues decreased by
$26,125 (58%). This revenue was primarily in the form of sales commissions for
the sale of products and services through our Web site. We incurred expenses
totaling $44,757 during the three-month period ending March 31, 2002. Our
expenses for the quarter ending March 31,, 2001 were $72,470. The principal
component of the expenses were marketing and general and administrative
expenses. These expenses were $39,733 in the first quarter of 2002 as compared
to $51,681 in 2001. The $11,948 (23%) decrease in general and administrative
expenses were the result of the Company's winding down it's operations. We had a
net loss of $27,254 for the three month period ending March 31, 2002 compared to
a net loss of $27,663 for the period ending March 31, 2001.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Since inception, we have used more cash than we have generated. Because of the
continued need for substantial amounts of working capital to fund the growth of
the business, we expect to experience negative operating cash flow for the
foreseeable future. By December 31, 2001 we recorded a total of $582,091 in
capital from common stock and additional paid in capital.

NOTE 1. NATURE OF OPERATIONS
CARSUNLIMITED.COM, INC. (The Company) was formed in Nevada on March 7, 2000. The
Company is a development stage company with limited operations and revenues and
only nominal assets. The Company's initial purpose was to offer clients the
ability to search a database that contained products and information about the
Automobile Industry, new and used car sales (classified ads), as well as
automotive products such as extended warranty information and anti-theft body
part marking. Since December 1, 2001, the Company has sought a merger partner
who will benefit from the Company's access to capital markets and provide the
Company with profitable operations.
NOTE 2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
USE OF ESTIMATES
Estimates and Assumptions
The preparation of financial statements, in conformity with the generally
accepted accounting principles, requires management to make estimates and
assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and
disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial
statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the
reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Revenue Recognition Sales Commissions
Sales commissions are recognized in the period in which they are earned, using
the accrual basis of accounting. Sales commissions are earned as a % of the
total fee charged the customer at the time of the completion of the sale for the
particular type of automotive product.
COMMISSIONS RECEIVABLE
Commissions receivable represent the Company's commissions for sales of
automotive products (extended warranties, GAP insurance and other lease
products) through automobile dealers (dealers). These dealers have agreed to
market the Company's automotive products directly to their customers and to
collect the fees and costs. The Company is responsible for servicing the dealer
and transmitting the checks to a third party administrator. No provision for
uncollectibles has been recorded as the Company believes none is necessary.
ADVERTISING AND INTERNET MARKETING
In May, the Company entered into a celebrity endorsement agreement wherein the
celebrity has agreed to serve as a Company spokesperson and to endorse the
Company's products and services. The Company has expensed the full cost
($25,000) of the agreement. The celebrity was compensated in cash ($5,000) and
the fair value ($0.10 per share or $20,000) of the stock offered to him at par
value. The $25,000 has been included in advertising and Internet marketing in
the statement of operations.
EQUIPMENT AND FURNITURE
Equipment and furniture is stated at cost. Depreciation is recorded on a
straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of 5 years. The depreciation
expense for 2001 and 2000 were $2,388 and $565, respectively.
The Company follows the provisions of the Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards ("SFAS") No. 121 "Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
and for Long-Lived Assets to be disposed of". SFAS 121 establishes accounting
standards for the impairment of long-lived assets and certain identifiable
intangibles to be held and used and for long-lived assets and certain
identifiable intangibles to be disposed of.
The Company reviews the carrying values of its long-lived and identifiable
intangible assets for possible impairment whenever events or changes in
circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the assets may not be
recoverable. In 2001, the Company wrote down the fixed assets by $6,367, because
of the impairment.
WEBSITE
Website development consists of fees and costs in designing the Company's
website. The cost of this development has been expensed and is included in
start-up expenses. Maintenance costs will be charged to expense as incurred.
COSTS ASSOCIATED WITH RAISING CAPITAL
The Company has recorded the fees paid to consultants, accountant, and other
professionals for assistance in raising funds as a charge to the statement of
operations. These fees and costs were paid primarily in common stock recorded at
its fair value of $0.10 per share as determined by management.
COMMON STOCK
The Company offered 389,000 shares at $0.10 per share through a promissory note
wherein the Company received the proceeds of the notes and in return agreed to
issue the shares upon the note holder completing a subscription agreement from
the PPM. Through December 31, 2000, the Company collected $38,900 in cash.
The Company intended to raise $1,500,000 by offering 1,500,000 units at a price
of $0.10 per unit, each unit consisting of one share of common stock valued at
$0.10 per share and an option to purchase three warrants exercisable at $0.30
per warrant. The Private Placement Offering (PPM) was offered without
registration under the Securities Act of 1933 or under the securities laws of
any state. Through December 31, 2000, the Company raised $150,000 in the first
round of financing and expected to have the warrants exercised at $0.30 per
warrant in the coming year. These warrants were not exercised and expired.
In 2000, the Company has issued 3,170,000 shares of its common stock for
services and valued all of the issuances at fair value of $0.10 per share, as
determined by management , for a total of $317,000. Of this total, $140,000 was
for the services of officers and directors, $20,000 for advertising under the
celebrity endorsement agreement, and $152,000 for fees associated with raising
equity and $5,000 in computer services.
In 2001, the Company issued 1,025,000 restricted shares for consulting services.
These Shares were valued at approximately $0.01, which represented 50% of the
market Price of unrestricted shares, at the time of issue.
FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
Substantially all of the Company's assets and liabilities are carried at fair
value or contracted amounts , which approximate fair value.
(LOSS) PER COMMON SHARE
Net (loss) per common share is based on the weighted average of common shares
outstanding during the period.
RECLASSIFICATIONS
Reclassifications of certain prior year amounts have been made to conform to
current year presentation.
NOTE 3. INCOME TAXES
The Company has a net operating loss (NOL) carryforward as follows:
Expiration Estimated
Year Date Amount Tax Asset
2000 2020 (565,268) $197,800
2001 2021 (152,562) 53,400
-------- -------
251,200
Less Valuation allowance (251,200)
-------
--
=======
The statutory tax rate of the Company is approximately 35%. No tax benefit has
been reported in the financial statements. The potential tax benefits of the net
operating loss carryforwards are completely offset by a valuation allowance of
the same amount because it is more likely than not that the Company may not
realize future taxable income.
NOTE 4. GOING CONCERN
The Company is a development stage company with limited operations, no
substantial, continuing source of revenues, only nominal assets, and working
capital and stockholders' deficits. The Company's intended operations will
require substantial capital and until revenues are sufficient to fund ongoing
operations, the Company will be highly dependent on external sources of
financing and opportunity to find a suitable operating entity. The Company has
no internal sources of liquidity and does not expect to generate any positive
cash flows in the immediate future. These conditions raise substantial doubt
about its ability to continue as a going concern.
NOTE 5. LEASES
The Company had signed a 3-year lease for office space commencing April 1, 2000
through March 31, 2003. The rental expenses were $12,000 and $14,400, for 2001
and 2000, respectively. In October 2001, the Company and the landlord agreed to
convert the lease to month-to-month basis, at a rate of $400 per month.
NOTE 5 - RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
Transactions with Management
The Company has agreed to certain transactions with Anthony Genova, the
Company's President, Chief Operating Officer, Chairman of the Board and majority
shareholder. Such transactions are described below:
On July 23, 2001, President Anthony Genova agreed to transfer 4,000,000 shares
to Mr. Joseph marks, Vice President of the Company, for internet services. Mr.
Joseph Marks had provided internet marketing and engineering services to the
Company since inception. This transfer was approved by the Board of Directors,
with unanimous written consent, on December 14, 2001.
NOTE 6. SUBSEQUENT EVENT
The principal shareholders of the Company have been negotiating a Stock purchase
agreement to sell their shares to a new controlling group. The agreement is
expected to require the new controlling group to acquire an operating company
with minimum revenues of $2,500,000. As a part of the planned agreement, the
Company's president plans to forgive accrued salaries of $114,195 and receive
all rights to the Company Website and related dealer direct services.
INDEMNIFICATION POLICY
Section 6.09 of the Company's bylaws provides that the Company must
indemnify its officers and directors for any liability including reasonable
costs of defense arising out of any act or omission of any officer or director
on behalf of the Company to the full extent allowed by the laws of the State of
Nevada, if the officer or director acted in good faith and in a manner the
officer or director reasonably believed to be in, or not opposed to, the best
interests of the corporation, and, with respect to any criminal action or
proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe the conduct was unlawful.
Any indemnification under the bylaws (unless ordered by a court) must be
made by the Company only as authorized in the specific case upon a determination
that indemnification of the director or officer is proper in the circumstances
because the officer or director has met the applicable standard of conduct.
This determination is made by the board of directors by a majority vote of a
quorum consisting of directors who were not parties to the action, suit or
proceeding, or, regardless of whether or not a quorum is obtainable and a quorum

ITEM 5. OTHER EVENTS.
On May 22, 2002, Anthony Genova Jr., the President of Carsunlimited.com, Inc.
(the "Company"), Lawrence Genova, a director of the Company, Joseph Marks, a
Director of the Company and the Company's VP of Internet Marketing Development,
William Quinn, a director of the Company, the Company's Treasurer and
Secretary and Michael Makropoulos, a director of the Company (collectively, the
"Sellers") entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement (the "Stock Purchase
Agreement") with Douglas Shih, Loyalty United (US), Inc. and CH Ventures, Inc.
(collectively, the "Buyers") pursuant to which the Sellers will sell to the
Buyers, in the aggregate, 21,000,000 shares of the Company's common stock for
$273,000 (the "Purchase Price"). The Purchase Price, however, will be reduced
by the amount of the Company's outstanding liabilities as of the closing (the
"Closing") of the transactions contemplated by the Stock Purchase Agreement.
The Closing is subject to various conditions, including, (i) the sale of
the Company's operating assets to Anthony Genova, Jr., (ii) the issuance of
1,000,000 shares of the Company's Common Stock to certain company creditors,
(iii) the satisfactory completion by the Buyers of due diligence regarding the
Company and (iv) other customary closing conditions. Neither the Seller or the
Company can give any assurances that the transaction will be consummated.
At the Closing, the existing officers and directors of the Company will
resign and persons designated by the Buyers will be appointed as officers and
directors of the Company.
The Buyers have advised the Sellers of the Buyers intention to identify one
or more qualified target entities in order to cause the Company to acquire those
qualified target entities or otherwise effect a business combination with those
entities after the Closing. The Buyers have agreed that during the period from
the Closing until the consummation of any such business combination, the Buyers
will not permit the Company to effect a reverse split of the Company's stock
unless the Buyers first obtain the written consent of Anthony Genova, Jr. In
addition, the Buyers and the Company agreed in the Stock Purchase Agreement that
the number of common shares issuable in connection with any such Business
Combination will not exceed 74,780,000 shares unless the Company first obtains
the written consent of Anthony Genova, Jr.
The Buyers also agreed in the Stock Purchase Agreement that, without the
prior written consent of Anthony Genova, Jr., the Buyers shall not permit the
Company to effect a business combination with an entity or entities unless, at
the consummation of the business combination, the target entities have had, on a
combined basis, revenues of at least $2,500,000.

EXHIBIT 2.1
STOCK PURCHASE AGREEMENT
STOCK PURCHASE AGREEMENT, dated as of May 22, 2002 (this "Agreement"), by
and among the persons identified on Schedule I to this Agreement as the buyers
(each a "Buyer" and collectively, the "Buyers"), the persons identified on
Schedule I to this Agreement as the sellers (each a "Seller" and collectively,
the "Sellers") and CARSUNLIMITED.COM, INC., a Nevada corporation (the
"Company"). The Buyers, the Sellers and the Company are referred to
collectively herein as the "Parties".
BACKGROUND
The Sellers own 21,000,000 shares (the "Shares") of the issued and
------
outstanding Common Stock, $0.001 par value per share ("Common Stock"), of the
------------
Company. The Buyers desire to purchase the Shares from the Sellers, and the
Sellers desire to sell the Shares to the Buyers in return for cash on the terms
set forth herein.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and the mutual promises
herein made, and in consideration of the representations, warranties, and
covenants herein contained, the Parties, intending to be legally bound, hereby
agree as follows.
1. DEFINITIONS. Capitalized terms used, but not otherwise defined, herein
-----------
have the meanings ascribed to such terms in Appendix A hereto.
-----------
2. PURCHASE AND SALE OF SHARES.
-------------------------------
(a) Basic Transaction. On and subject to the terms and conditions of this
-----------------
Agreement, the Buyers shall purchase from the Sellers, and the Sellers shall
sell to the Buyers, the Shares in the amounts set forth opposite their
respective names on Schedule I hereto, for the consideration specified below in
----------
this 2.
(b) Advance to Company; Escrowed Amounts. (i) Within 3 business days
----------------------------------------
following the receipt of a written payment request from the Sellers, the Buyers
shall pay directly to certain Company trade creditors specified by the Sellers
up to $5,000 (the "Advance") to cover a portion of certain transfer agency fees,
fees incurred in causing the Company to qualify to do business in New York, and
fees incurred in causing the Company to file its tax return for the fiscal year
ended December 31, 2001. This payment by the Sellers shall be treated as a loan
to the Company and the Sellers that is due and payable upon demand of the Buyers
unless the Closing occurs, in which case the loan shall be forgiven by the
Buyers as of the Closing and the Advance shall then constitute a portion of the
Purchase Price.
(ii) On or before the 5th business day following the date that the
Sellers provide the Buyers with evidence that is reasonably satisfactory to the
Buyers, that (A) the Company's transfer agent is willing to take all actions
necessary of it to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby, (B) the
Company is in good standing and qualified to do business in New York and has
paid all franchise and other taxes owed to New York State; (C) the Company has
filed its tax return for fiscal year 2002 and that it has paid any taxes due
thereunder; and (D) the remaining balance of the Advance is sufficient to cover
the entire cost of the contemplated mailing of a Schedule 14f-1 by the Company
to its stockholders as contemplated elsewhere in this Agreement, the Buyers
shall deposit, in the aggregate, an amount equal to Fifty Thousand Dollars
($50,000.00) minus the amount of the Advance (the "Escrow Amount") into escrow
-------------
with the Sellers' counsel (the "Escrow Agent") by wire transfer of immediately
------------
available funds to the following account: Account Name: Seth A. Farbman, PC as
Escrow Agent, Account No: 207004599465, ABA No: 021000021, Bank Name JP Morgan
Chase, 335 Rockaway Turnpike, Lawrence, NY 11559. The Escrow Agent shall hold
the Escrow Amount in trust for the benefit of the Buyers until returned to the
Buyers or delivered to the Sellers as herein required. The Escrow Amount shall
be considered a portion of the Purchase Price (as defined below) and shall be
delivered as set forth in this paragraph. If this Agreement is terminated
pursuant to Section 10(a)(i), 10(a)(ii) or 10(a)(iii), Escrow Agent shall
immediately return the Escrowed Amount to the Buyers, less the bank's standard
wire transfer charge. The Sellers shall use their best efforts to promptly
accomplish the matters specified in 2(b)(ii)(A) through (D).
Upon the Closing, or if this Agreement is terminated pursuant to Section
10(a)(iv), Escrow Agent shall immediately deliver the Escrow Amount to the
Sellers and the Sellers shall be entitled to keep the Escrow Amount.
(c) Purchase Price. The Buyers shall pay to the Sellers, in the
---------------
aggregate, at the Closing Two Hundred Seventy Three Thousand Dollars
($273,000.00) (which amount includes the Escrow Amount), subject to adjustment

021000021, Bank Name JP Morgan Chase, 335 Rockaway Turnpike, Lawrence, NY
11559, and (ii) release of the Escrow Amount to the Sellers (collectively, the
"Purchase Price"). Upon receiving the $223,000 balance of the Purchase Price
---------------
from Buyers, Escrow Agent shall immediately forward such funds to the Sellers.
The Purchase Price shall be paid by the Buyers and allocated among the Sellers
in the manner specified on Schedule I to this Agreement or in such other manner
----------
as the Sellers instruct the Escrow Agent.
(d) The Closing. The closing of the transactions contemplated by this
------------
Agreement (the "Closing") shall take place by exchange of documents among the
-------
Parties by fax or courier, as appropriate, following the satisfaction or waiver
of all conditions to the obligations of the Parties to consummate the
transactions contemplated hereby (other than conditions with respect to actions
the respective Parties will take at the Closing itself) or such other date as
the Buyers and the Sellers may mutually determine (the "Closing Date");
------------
provided, however, that the Closing Date shall not be later than 5:00 p.m.
(Eastern Time) on June 28, 2002, unless extended by written agreement of all
parties. Once the Buyers and Sellers each have made the respective deliveries
called for herein, the Closing shall be deemed to have occurred.

(iii) the Sellers shall deliver to the Buyers stock certificates representing
all of the Shares registered in the names of the respective Buyers as specified

-----------
documents and including a Medallion Guarantee, and (iv) the Buyers shall deliver
to the Sellers the consideration specified in 2(b) above. The Escrow Agent's
delivery of the Escrow Amount, and the balance of the Purchase Price to Sellers
shall constitute delivery thereof by the Buyers for the purpose of this Section.
(f) Adjustment for Outstanding Indebtedness. The Purchase Price shall be
----------------------------------------
decreased by the amount of any outstanding Indebtedness of the Company existing
as of the Closing Date. If, as of the Closing Date, there exists outstanding
Indebtedness, the Buyers shall pay off such indebtedness directly in accordance
with a disbursement letter to be mutually agreed upon among the Buyers and the
Sellers. Any amounts paid off by the Buyers pursuant to this Section 2(f) shall
be treated as a loan by the Buyers to the Company. In no event shall the Buyers
be required to make any payments in excess of the Purchase Price payable
hereunder.

Securities Act or pursuant to an exemption from such act's registration
requirements.
(viii) Restrictive Legend and Stop Order. The Shares when
--------------------------------------
delivered to Buyers will not be registered under the Securities Act or
applicable state laws, but shall be transferred in reliance upon the exemptions
from registration provided by Section 4(1) of the Securities Act and under
analogous state securities laws, on the grounds that the sale of the Shares does
not involve any public offering and that Sellers are not thereby acting as an
issuer, underwriter or dealer. The Shares are "restricted securities" as that
term is defined in Rule 144(a) of the General Rules and Regulations under the
Securities Act and must be held indefinitely, and the prior written consent of
the Company will be necessary for their resale or other transfer, unless they
are subsequently registered under the Act or an exemption from the Act's
registration requirements is available for their resale or transfer. All
certificates delivered evidencing the Shares shall bear a restrictive legend
that refers to the Securities Act.
4. REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES CONCERNING THE COMPANY. Each of the
---------------------------------------------------------
Sellers jointly and severally represent and warrant to the Buyers that the
statements contained in this 4 are correct and complete as of the date of this
Agreement and will be correct and complete as of the Closing Date (as though
made then and as though the Closing Date were substituted for the date of this
Agreement throughout this 4), except as set forth in the disclosure schedule
attached hereto (the "Disclosure Schedule"). The Disclosure Schedule will be
-------------------
arranged in paragraphs corresponding to the lettered and numbered paragraphs
contained in this 4.
(a) SEC Reports. The Company has filed all reports, registration
------------
statements, definitive proxy statements and other documents and all amendments
thereto and supplements thereof required to be filed by it with the U.S.
Securities and Exchange Commission since March 7, 2000 (the "SEC Reports"), all
-----------
of which have complied in all material respects with the applicable requirements
of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), the Securities
--------------
Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act") and the rules and
-------------
regulations promulgated thereunder. As of the respective dates of filing in
final or definitive form (or, if amended or superseded by a subsequent filing,
then on the date of such subsequent filing), none of the Company's SEC Reports
contained any untrue statement of a material fact or omitted to state a material
fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements
therein, in light of the circumstances in which they were made, not misleading.
(b) Organization of Company. The Company is a corporation duly
--------------------------
organized, validly existing, and in good standing under the laws of the State of
Nevada. The Company is duly authorized to conduct business and is in good
standing under the laws in every jurisdiction in which the ownership or use of
property or the nature of the business conducted by it makes such qualification
necessary except where the failure to be so qualified or in good standing would
not have a Material Adverse Effect. "Material Adverse Effect" means any
material adverse effect on the business, operations, assets, financial condition
or prospects of the Company or its Subsidiaries, if any, taken as a whole or on
the transactions contemplated hereby or by the agreements or instruments to be
entered into in connection herewith. The Company has full corporate power and
authority and all licenses, permits, and authorizations necessary to carry on
its business. The Company has no subsidiaries and does not control any entity,
directly or indirectly, or have any direct or indirect equity participation in
any other entity. The Sellers has delivered to the Buyers true, correct and
complete copies of the Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws of the Company,
as amended through the date hereof.
(c) Capitalization; No Restrictive Agreements. The Company's
--------------------------------------------
authorized capital stock, as of the date of this Agreement, consists of
50,000,000 shares of Common Stock, $0.001 par value per share, of which
25,500,000 shares are issued and outstanding.
As of May 21, 2002, the Company had 26,530,000 shares of its common stock
issued and outstanding. Such figure includes an aggregate of 1,130,000 shares
of the Company's common stock which has not yet been issued by the transfer
agent on the Company's books due to the Company's inability to make payment to
its transfer agent on outstanding invoices and such figure also includes
1,520,000 shares of common stock, authorized for issuance, which shares have not
yet been physically delivered to their respective shareholders due to the
Company's inability to make payment to its transfer agent on outstanding
invoices. Anthony Genova shall deliver shares of the Company's Common Stock
owned by him to cover the shares to be issued by the Company such that, after
the transfer agent issues the 1,520,000 shares and the Company issues 1,000,000
shares in accordance with Schedule II, the total number of shares outstanding
shall be 26,500,000.
The Company has not reserved any shares of its Common Stock for issuance
upon the exercise of options, warrants or any other securities that are
exercisable or exchangeable for, or convertible into, Common Stock. All of the
issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock are validly issued, fully paid and
non-assessable and have been issued in compliance with applicable laws,
including, without limitation, applicable federal and state securities laws.
There are no outstanding options, warrants or other rights of any kind to
acquire any additional shares of capital stock of the Company or securities
exercisable or exchangeable for, or convertible into, capital stock of the
Company, nor is the Company committed to issue any such option, warrant, right
or security. There are no agreements relating to the voting, purchase or sale
of capital stock (i) between or among the Company and any of its stockholders,
(ii) between or among the Sellers and any third party, or (iii) to the best
knowledge of the Sellers between or among any of the Company's stockholders.
The Company is not a party to any agreement granting any stockholder of the
Company the right to cause the Company to register shares of the capital stock
of the Company held by such stockholder under the Securities Act.
(d) Financial Statements. The Sellers have provided the Buyers with
---------------------
audited balance sheets and statements of operations, changes in stockholders'
deficit and cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2001 and 2000
(collectively, the "Financial Statements"). The Financial Statements have been
prepared in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting
principles applied on a consistent basis, fairly present the financial
condition, results of operations and cash flows of the Company as of the
respective dates thereof and for the periods referred to therein and are
consistent with the books and records of the Company. The Company does not have
any liability (whether known or unknown, whether asserted or unasserted, whether
absolute or contingent, whether accrued or unaccrued, whether liquidated or
unliquidated, and whether due or to become due), including any liability for
taxes, except for liabilities expressly specified in the Financial Statements
(none of which results from, arises out of, relates to, is in the nature of, or
was caused by any breach of contract, breach of warranty, tort, infringement, or
violation of law).
(e) Absence of Certain Changes. Since December 31, 2001, there has
----------------------------
not been any event or condition of any character which has materially adversely
affected, or may be expected to materially adversely affect, the Company's
business or prospects, including, but not limited to any material adverse change
in the condition, assets, liabilities (existing or contingent) or business of
the Company from that shown in the Financial Statements.
(f) Legal Proceedings. Except as disclosed in the SEC Reports, as of
-----------------
the date of this Agreement, there is no legal, administrative, investigatory,
regulatory or similar action, suit, claim or proceeding which is pending or, to
the Sellers' knowledge, threatened against the Company which, if determined
adversely to the Company, could have, individually or in the aggregate, a
material adverse effect on the business, assets, or prospects of the Company or
which in any manner challenges or seeks to prevent, enjoin, alter or delay the
transactions contemplated by this Agreement.
(g) Legal Compliance. The Company has complied in all material
-----------------
respects with all applicable laws (including rules, regulations, codes, plans,
injunctions, judgments, orders, decrees, rulings, and charges thereunder) of all
Governmental Authorities, and no action, suit, proceeding, hearing,
investigation, charge, complaint, claim, demand, or notice has been filed or
commenced against the Company alleging any failure so to comply. To the
Sellers' knowledge, neither the Company, nor any officer, director, employee,
consultant or agent of the Company has made, directly or indirectly, any payment
or promise to pay, or gift or promise to give or authorized such a promise or
gift, of any money or anything of value, directly or indirectly, to any
governmental official, customer or supplier for the purpose of influencing any
official act or decision of such official, customer or supplier or inducing him,
her or it to use his, her or its influence to affect any act or decision of a
Governmental Authority or customer, under circumstances which could subject the
Company or any officers, directors, employees or consultants of the Company to
administrative or criminal penalties or sanctions.
(h) Tax Matters.
------------
(i) The Company has filed all Tax Returns that it was required to
file. All such Tax Returns were correct and complete in all material respects.
All Taxes owed by the Company have been paid. The Company is not currently the
beneficiary of any extension of time within which to file any Tax Return. No
claim has ever been made by an authority in a jurisdiction where the Company
does not file Tax Returns that it is or may be subject to taxation by that
jurisdiction. There are no Security Interests on any of the assets of the
Company that arose in connection with any failure (or alleged failure) to pay
any Tax.

(i) any action taken or omitted in good faith upon written advice of his
counsel given with respect to any questions relating to the duties and
responsibilities of the Escrow Agent under this Agreement, or
(ii) any action taken or omitted in reliance upon any instrument, including

Escrow Agent and the terms hereof, whether brought by a Party to this Agreement

Upon so depositing such things and funds and filing its complaint in

the jurisdiction of said Court and do hereby appoint the Clerk of said Court as

specifically called for in or permitted by this Agreement, or by any other
person or entity not party to this Agreement, excepting only orders or process
of court, and is hereby expressly authorized to comply with and obey any and all
orders, judgments, or decrees of any court, and in case Escrow Agent obeys or
complies with any such order, judgment, or decree of any court, it shall not be
liable to any of the parties hereto or to any other person, firm or corporation
by reason of such compliance, notwithstanding that any such order, judgment, or
decree may be subsequently reversed, modified, annulled, set aside or vacated,

accordance with the domestic laws of the State of New York without giving effect

any jurisdiction other than the State of New York.
(j) Amendments and Waivers. No amendment of any provision of this
------------------------
Agreement shall be valid unless the same shall be in writing and signed by the
Buyers and the Sellers. No waiver by any Party of any default,
misrepresentation, or breach of warranty or covenant hereunder, whether

affect in any way any rights arising by virtue of any prior or subsequent such

(l) Expenses. Each of the Parties and the Company will bear his or its

arise favoring or disfavoring any Party by virtue of the authorship of any of
the provisions of this Agreement. Any reference to any federal, state or local
statute or law shall be deemed also to refer to all rules and regulations
promulgated thereunder, unless the context requires otherwise. The word
"including" shall mean including without limitation. The Parties intend that
each representation, warranty, and covenant contained herein shall have
independent significance. If any Party has breached any representation,
warranty, or covenant contained herein in any respect, the fact that there
exists another representation, warranty, or covenant relating to the same
subject matter (regardless of the relative levels of specificity) which the
Party has not breached shall not detract from or mitigate the fact that the
Party is in breach of the first representation, warranty, or covenant. Nothing
in the Disclosure Schedule shall be deemed adequate to disclose an exception to
a representation or warranty made herein, however, unless the Disclosure
Schedule identifies the exception with particularity and describes the relevant
facts in detail. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the mere
listing (or inclusion of a copy) of a document or other item shall not be deemed
adequate to disclose an exception to a representation or warranty made herein
(unless the representation or warranty has to do with the existence of the
document or other item itself).
(n) Incorporation of Exhibits, Annexes, and Schedules. The Exhibits,
------------------------------------------------------
Annexes, and Schedules identified in this Agreement are incorporated herein by
reference and made a part hereof.
(o) Specific Performance. Each of the Parties acknowledges and agrees
---------------------
that the other Parties would be damaged irreparably in the event any of the
provisions of this Agreement are not performed in accordance with their specific
terms or otherwise are breached. Accordingly, each of the Parties agrees that
the other Parties shall be entitled to an injunction or injunctions to prevent
breaches of the provisions of this Agreement and to enforce specifically this
Agreement and the terms and provisions hereof in any action instituted in any
court of the United States or any state thereof having jurisdiction over the
Parties and the matter (subject to the provisions set forth in 10(p) below), in
addition to any other remedy to which they may be entitled, at law or in equity.
(p) Submission to Jurisdiction. Each of the Parties submits to the
----------------------------
jurisdiction of any state or federal court sitting in New York, in any action or
proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement and agrees that all
claims in respect of the action or proceeding may be heard and determined in any
such court. Each of the Parties waives any defense of inconvenient forum to the
maintenance of any action or proceeding so brought and waives any bond, surety,
or other security that might be required of any other Party with respect
thereto. Any Party may make service on any other Party by sending or delivering
a copy of the process to the Party to be served at the address and in the manner
provided for the giving of notices in 11(h) above. Nothing in this 11(p),
however, shall affect the right of any Party to bring any action or proceeding
arising out of or relating to this Agreement in any other court or to serve
legal process in any other manner permitted by law or at equity. Each Party
agrees that a final judgment in any action or proceeding so brought shall be
conclusive and may be enforced by suit on the judgment or in any other manner
provided by law or at equity.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the undersigned Parties have executed this Agreement as
of the date first above written.

INFORMATION STATEMENT PURSUANT TO SECTION 14(F) OF THE SECURITIES EXCHANGE ACT
OF 1934 AND RULE 14F-1 THEREUNDER
This Information Statement is being mailed on or before June 17, 2002, to
holders of record on June 4, 2002, of shares of Common Stock ("Common Stock") of
Carsunlimited.com, Inc., a Nevada corporation (the "Company") in connection with
an anticipated change in all officers and members of the Company's Board of
Directors. The information contained in this Information Statement regarding the
persons designated to become officers and directors of the Company has been
furnished to the Company by third parties and the Company assumes no
responsibility for its accuracy or completeness. The information contained in
this Information Statement is being provided pursuant to Section 14(f) of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the "Exchange Act") and Rule 14f-1 of the
Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") thereunder.
On May 22, 2002, Anthony Genova, the President of the Company, Lawrence
Genova, a director of the Company, Joseph Marks, a Director of the Company and
the Company's VP of Internet Marketing Development, William Quinn, a director of
the Company and the Company's Treasurer and Secretary and Michael Makropoulos, a
director of the Company (collectively, the "Sellers") entered into a Stock
Purchase Agreement (the "Purchase Agreement") with Douglas Shih, Loyalty United
(US), Inc. and CH Ventures, Inc. (collectively, the "Purchasers"), who are not
currently affiliated with the Company or any of the Sellers, pursuant to which
the Sellers will sell to the Purchasers, in the aggregate, 21,000,000 shares of
the Company's Common Stock representing control of the Company (the "Control
Shares") on terms described below. Nevada law does not require approval of this
stock sale by the Company's shareholders, and their approval will not be sought.
WE ARE NOT ASKING YOU FOR A PROXY, AND YOU ARE REQUESTED NOT TO SEND US A
PROXY.
The closing under the Purchase Agreement (the "Closing") will result in a
change in control of the Company. As a result, at the Closing under the
Purchase Agreement, the current officers and directors of the Company will
resign, and persons designated by the Purchaser will be appointed as the new
officers and directors of the Company. It is the intention of the Sellers to
complete Closing under the Purchase Agreement as soon as reasonably possible,
but in any event no later than June 28, 2002.
This Information Statement is being delivered to provide information
regarding anticipated changes in the membership of the Board of Directors of the
Company in conjunction with completion of the proposed stock sale, and is
provided for information purposes only. You are urged to read this Information
Statement carefully. However, no action on your part is sought or required.
TERMS OF THE STOCK PURCHASE
Under the terms of the Purchase Agreement, the Sellers are selling a total
of 21,000,000 shares in a private transaction for an aggregate purchase price of
$273,000 or $0.013 per Control Share (the "Purchase Price"). The Purchase
Price, however, will be reduced by the amount of the Company's outstanding
liabilities as of the closing (the "Closing") of the transactions contemplated
by the Purchase Agreement. The Control Shares as of this date amount to
approximately 79% of the Company's issued and outstanding common stock.
The sale of the Control Shares will not be registered under the Securities
Act of 1933, as amended (the "Act"), but will be made in reliance upon an
exemption from the Act's registration requirements. The Company and the Sellers
believe that the sale of the Control Shares as herein described will be exempt
from registration under Section 4(1) of the Act on the basis that it is a
transaction by persons other than the issuer, an underwriter or dealer, because:
(a) The Control Shares have been offered and will be sold only to the
Purchasers, and no public offering or distribution has occurred or will occur,
and the Sellers are selling for their own account and not acting for the Company
in any way;
(b) The Purchasers have affirmatively represented to the Sellers that,
among other things, they are acquiring the Control Shares for investment with no
current intention of reselling or distributing the Control Shares, and that they
have sufficient knowledge and experience in business, financial and tax matters
to evaluate the risks and merits of purchasing the Control Shares.
(c) The Purchasers have been or will be given information or access to
information about the Company equivalent to what would have been contained in a
registration statement filed under the Act; and
(d) The certificate(s) delivered to the Purchasers evidencing the
Control Shares will bear a customary form of investment legend restricting
transfer, and a stop transfer order will be placed in the Company's transfer
records as to all such shares.
INFORMATION CONCERNING THE COMPANY
BUSINESS
Information concerning the business of the Company and its results of
operations and financial condition are incorporated by reference to its Annual
Report on Form 10-KSB for the year ended December 31, 2001, as filed with the
Securities and Exchange Commission and available electronically on EDGAR at
www.sec.gov.
-------
DESCRIPTION OF SECURITIES
The following description is a summary and is qualified in its entirety by
the provisions of the Company's Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws, copies of
which have been filed as exhibits to the Company's registration statement on
Form SB-2, filed with the Commission on August 14, 2000 and available
electronically on EDGAR at www.sec.gov.
-----------
COMMON STOCK.
General. The Company is authorized to issue 50,000,000 shares of common
stock par value $0.001. As of May 24, 2002, there were 26,530,000 common shares
issued and outstanding. All shares of common stock outstanding are validly
issued and non-assessable.
Voting Rights. Each share of common stock entitles the holder to one vote,
either in person or by proxy, at meetings of shareholders. The holders are not
permitted to vote their shares cumulatively. Accordingly, the holders of common
stock holding, in the aggregate, more than fifty percent of the total voting
rights can elect all of the Company's directors and, in such event, the holders
of the remaining minority shares will not be able to elect any of such
directors. The vote of the holders of a majority of the issued and outstanding
shares of common stock entitled to vote thereon is sufficient to authorize,
affirm, ratify or consent to such act or action, except as otherwise provided by
law.
Dividend Policy. All shares of common stock are entitled to participate
proportionally in dividends if the Board of Directors declares them out of the
funds legally available and subordinate to the rights, if any, of the holders of
outstanding shares of preferred stock. These dividends may be paid in cash,
property or additional shares of common stock. The Company has not paid any
dividends since inception and presently anticipates that all earnings, if any,
will be retained for development of its business. Any future dividends will be
at the discretion of our Board of Directors and will depend upon, among other
things, the Company's future earnings, operating and financial condition,
capital requirements, and other factors. Therefore, there can be no assurance
that any dividends on the common stock will be paid in the future.
Miscellaneous Rights and Provisions. Holders of common stock have no
preemptive or other subscription rights, conversion rights, redemption or
sinking fund provisions. In the event of our dissolution, whether voluntary or
involuntary, each share of common stock is entitled to share proportionally in
any assets available for distribution to holders of our equity after
satisfaction of all liabilities and payment of the applicable liquidation
preference of any outstanding shares of preferred stock.
PREFERRED STOCK.
General. No preferred stock has been authorized.
Dividends, Voting, Liquidation, & Redemption. Upon issuance, the Company's
Board of Directors will determine the rights and preferences of shares of
preferred stock. The Board of Director's ability to issue preferred stock
without further shareholder approval has the potential to delay, defer or
prevent a change in control of the Company. Moreover, the Board of Director's
broad discretion in designating specific rights and preferences may have the
potential to dilute or devalue the stock held by the common shareholders.
PRINCIPAL STOCKHOLDERS OF THE COMPANY
The following tables set forth the beneficial ownership of the Company
prior and immediately following the Closing:
STOCKHOLDINGS PRIOR TO CLOSING
The following table sets forth, as of the date of this Information
Statement, the stock ownership of each executive officer and director of the
Company, all directors and executive officers as a group, and each person known
by the Company to be a beneficial owner of more than five percent of its issued
and outstanding Common Stock. As of such date, the Company had a total of
26,530,000 shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding. Except as otherwise
noted, each person listed below is the sole beneficial owner of the shares and
has sole investment and voting power as to such shares. Except as otherwise
noted, no person listed below has any options, warrants, or other rights to
acquire additional securities of the Company.

CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS
Lawrence Genova, brother of Anthony J. Genova, Jr., the Company's President
and a director, provided computer related services to the Company. The Company
has valued said services at $5,000 and on June 9, 2000 the Company, in

$100.00

such transaction nor to approve or consent to such sale.
