SUMMARY INFORMATION AND RISK FACTORS PROSPECTUS SUMMARY This prospectus contains statements about our future operations, which involve risks and uncertainties. Our actual results could differ in important ways from our anticipated future operations, due to many factors, including "RISK FACTORS" and other factors. Because this is a summary and the information is selective, it does not contain all information that may be important to you. You should read carefully all information in the prospectus including its detailed information and the financial statements and their explanatory notes before making an investment decision. Our Company. - - ----------- We were incorporated in the State of Nevada on June 17, 1996. Our principal executive offices are located at 3503 Cedar Locust, Sugarland, TX 77479, Telephone - (713) 265-8660. Our total authorized stock consists of 25,000,000 common shares, par value $.001. OUR BUSINESS. We have developed a website, located on the internet at ------- www.mortgagecommunicator.com , where individuals can obtain information regarding mortgages. Currently, we do not have any operations or revenue sources. Further development of our website during our first year of operations ------- will cost an estimated $10,000.00. THE OFFERING. As of December 31, 2000, we had 7,551,000 shares of our common stock outstanding. This offering is comprised of securities offered by selling security holders only. Although we have agreed to pay all offering expenses, we will not receive any proceeds from the sale of the securities. We anticipate offering expenses of approximately $10,000. FINANCIAL SUMMARY INFORMATION. Because this is a only a financial summary, it does not contain all the financial information that may be important to you. You should also read carefully all the information in this prospectus, including the financial statements included in this prospectus and their explanatory notes.

An Investment in the Shares of Common Stock Offered by This Prospectus Involves - - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- a High Degree of Risk. - - --------------------- We cannot assure that we will ever generate revenues, develop operations, or make a profit. We Have Little Managerial Expertise in the Development or Dissemination of - - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Mortgage Information or in the Internet. - - --------------------------------------- Because our management has little experience in developing and disseminating mortgage information, our abilities in this area may be limited. Even if our management develops a sufficient quantity of mortgage information, it may be unable to particularize or adapt it to the needs of website visitors. Moreover, our management has no Internet experience. Unless management has the financial resources to hire qualified Internet consultants, as and when needed, the presentation and technical aspects of our website may suffer. We Now Have No Material Contracts or Future Prospects for Material Contracts; We - - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Have Not Developed An Operational Plan to Obtain Contracts. - - ---------------------------------------------------------- We have no contracts or prospective contracts that will assist us in promoting --------- --------- or further developing our website or operations. We have no contracts with ------- --------- Internet, computer, mortgage, technical or marketing professionals which would assist us in the development, selection, presentational or technical aspects of our website information. We have no contracts or prospective contracts with ------- --------- --------- other websites that would provide visitation links to our website. We have -------- ------ not developed a plan to obtain any of these contracts. If we fail to develop --------- contracts with other websites or other professionals, our revenues will be - - --------- -------- negatively impacted. The Information on Our Website May Be Available on Other Websites or in Other - - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Informational Formats and May be Purchased at Little or No Cost. - - --------------------------------------------------------------- We have conducted no research to determine what mortgage information is available over the Internet or in other informational formats and whether that information may be purchased at nominal fees or free to the public. We have not yet determined all of the specific mortgage information we will make available on our website. Because our website information may be more easily accessible at ------- ------- other websites or informational formats, and/or at little or no cost, website -------- ------- visitors may find our website of little or no utility. ------- We Lack a Well-Developed Business Plan. - - -------------------------------------- Because we currently do not have a well-developed business plan, we may spend an excessive amount of our financial and operational resources in development of our business plan. Our website may not be developed with the computer, technical ------- and marketing skills necessary to provide a superior website or one which would ------- attract customers. We Have a Poor Financial Condition and May be Unable to Adequately Develop our - - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Business. - - --------- Because we have no operating history, assets, or revenue sources, an investor cannot determine if we will ever be profitable. We will experience financial difficulties during our operational development and beyond. We may be unable to operate profitably, even if we develop operations and generate revenues. We plan to generate revenues from advertising sales through our website, but there can ------- be no assurance that our revenues will exceed our costs. Our poor financial condition could adversely affect our ability to provide a website that will ------- attract website users or distribute mortgage information in a useful, efficient ------- and timely fashion, or generate revenues. We Are a Development Stage Company With No Operating History for Investors to - - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Evaluate. - - ---------- We have just recently developed a website, but we have no operating history for ------- investors to evaluate our business strategy. We have limited insight into trends that may emerge and affect our business. You must consider the risks and difficulties frequently encountered by development stage companies. Furthermore, we face risks due to our anticipated participation in the new and rapidly-evolving Internet market. These challenges include our: o Need to further develop, maintain, and increase awareness of our web site; o Need to attract and retain customers; o Dependence on web site and transaction processing performance and reliability; o Need to compete effectively; o Need to establish ourselves as a participant in the evolving market for mortgage information; o Need to establish and develop relationships with entities related to and involved in the mortgage industry in order to obtain advertising revenues for our site. Because significant up-front advertising, sales, and other expenses are required to develop our web site, we anticipate that we may incur losses until revenues -------- are sufficient to cover our operating costs. We expect that our total additional website development costs will be approximately $10,000, based on the following - - ------- estimated costs: (1) $125 for domain name registration and listing; (2) $7,500 for technical, presentational and other developmental costs; (3) $1,000 for annual hosting service fees; (4) $1,000 for annual site maintenance; and (5) $375 for miscellaneous administrative expenses. We will allocate advertising and promotional expenses as we develop operations and research market demand for our services. Future losses are likely before our operations will become profitable. We Have No Profits and We Have Losses. - - ------------------------------------- We have no revenues or revenue sources, yet we have significant costs and losses. Our website has not been fully developed. We cannot assure that we will ------- obtain the necessary working capital to fully develop our website. Further, even ------- if our website is fully developed, we cannot assure that our website will ------- ------- receive enough Internet traffic or purchases to generate revenues or achieve profitability. We believe that we will incur net losses for at least the next two years. We expect to increase our operating expenses substantially as we: o Further develop our website; ------- o Initiate our marketing activities and advertising efforts; o Provide our customers with promotional benefits; o Increase our general and administrative functions to support our developing operations; and o Develop enhanced technologies and features to improve our web site. -------- We will pay our increased operating expenses from our revenues, assuming they are sufficient; otherwise, we plan to borrow funds from our management to pay expenses, assuming management has sufficient resources to loan us monies, as and when required. Otherwise, we will have to seek additional debt and/or equity financing from third parties. Depending upon the extent that our development costs outpace our revenues, our losses will accumulate more rapidly. In addition, we may find that our development efforts are more expensive than we currently anticipate. There is No Public Market for Our Common Stock. - - ---------------------------------------------- There is no established public trading market or market maker for our securities. There can be no assurance that a market for our common stock will be established or that, if established, a market will be sustained. Therefore, if you purchase our securities you may be unable to sell them. Accordingly, you should be able to bear the financial risk of losing your entire investment. A market maker sponsoring a company's securities is required to obtain a listing of the securities on any of the public trading markets, including the Over-the-Counter Bulletin Board ("OTCBB"). If we are unable to obtain a market maker for our securities, we will be unable to develop a trading market for our common stock. We may be unable to locate a market maker that will agree to sponsor our securities. Even if we do locate a market maker, there is no assurance that our securities will be able to meet the requirements for a quotation or that the securities will be accepted for listing on the OTCBB. We intend to apply for listing of the securities on the OTCBB, but there can be no assurance that we will be able to obtain this listing. The OTCBB securities are not listed and traded on the floor of an organized national or regional stock exchanges. Instead, OTCBB securities transactions are conducted through a telephone and computer network connecting dealers in stocks. Over-the-counter stocks are traditionally smaller companies that do not meet the financial and other listing requirements of a regional or national stock exchange. If We Are Unable To Attract and Retain Qualified Personnel, Our Business Could - - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Suffer. - - ------ Our current and future success depends on our ability to identify, attract, hire, train, retain and motivate highly skilled technical, managerial, sales and marketing, customer service and professional personnel. Competition for such employees is intense, especially in the e-commerce sector. We may be unable to successfully attract, assimilate or retain sufficiently qualified personnel. If we fail to attract and retain the necessary technical professionals, the efficiency of our website will suffer in its presentation, search abilities and ------- information accessibility. If we fail to retain and attract the necessary managerial, sales and marketing and customer service personnel, we may not develop a sufficient customer base to adequately fund our operations. If Consumers And Mortgage Broker Businesses Do Not Embrace On-Line Mortgage - - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Financing And Sales, Our Business Will Be Materially Adversely Affected. - - ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Our success depends upon the general acceptance of on-line mortgage information and services by consumers, mortgage brokers and other third parties. If these groups do not embrace online mortgage information, our operations will be adversely affected. The market for electronic mortgage information and services, particularly over the Internet, is in its early stages of development, but is evolving rapidly. We cannot assure that a sufficiently broad base of consumers and businesses will adopt, and continue to use, the Internet to obtain mortgage services, traditionally provided in person-to-person and paper transactions. Our business prospects must be considered in light of the risks, expenses and difficulties frequently encountered by companies in the new and rapidly evolving market for Internet services. Several on-line mortgage service companies have already failed and are no longer in business. The industry is extremely volatile and competitive. We believe that acceptance of our services will depend on the following factors, among others: o the growth of the Internet as a medium for commerce generally, and as a market for financial products and services in particular; o development of the necessary Internet network infrastructure to support new technologies and handle the demands placed upon the Internet; o government regulation of the Internet; o our ability to successfully and efficiently develop on-line information that is attractive to a sufficiently large number of consumers and mortgage brokers; and o a change in the perception among many consumers and real estate service providers that obtaining mortgage information on-line is less dependable than obtaining mortgage information through more traditional methods. Slower response times could adversely affect use of our website. We may be ------- unable to develop and introduce new services or service enhancements in a timely manner. In addition, because the market for on-line mortgage information is in the early stages of development, data pertaining to the volume of visitors to other mortgage websites is difficult to predict. If the volume of website -------- ------- visitors falls below expectations of financial analysts or the public, we may be unable to obtain quality advertising contracts. The occurrence of any of these --------- factors could have a material adverse effect upon the very nature of our business and the continuation of our website. ------- If Mortgage Loan Interest Rates Increase and/or There is a Decrease In The - - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Demand For Mortgages, Our Business Could Suffer. - - ----------------------------------------------- Mortgage business depends upon the overall level of sales and refinancing of residential real estate, as well as mortgage loan interest rates. The residential real estate industry is highly cyclical. Shifts in the economy and residential real estate values generally affect the number of home sales and new housing starts. The demand for mortgage loan information increases as the number of home sales increases. Declining interest rates generally increase mortgage loan financing activity, because homeowners refinance existing mortgage loans to obtain favorable interest rates. Rising interest rates, in contrast, discourage refinancing activities and generally reduce the number of home sales that occur. Any fluctuation in interest rates or an adverse change in residential real estate or general economic conditions could cause a serious decline in visitation to our website, memberships, and the retention rate of our previously ------- enrolled members, if any. We may be unable to develop our business if higher interest rates and decreased home sales occur. We Plan to Operate in an Uncertain and Developing Market. - - ---------------------------------------------------------- The market for Internet services is recent and rapidly changing. Market demand and acceptance for recently introduced Internet services is uncertain and difficult to predict. The success of our website will depend upon the adoption ------- of the Internet by a broad base of consumers and vendors. There can be no assurance of widespread acceptance of Internet commerce in general, including Internet mortgage information and services. Companies now offering services similar to ours have relied on consumers and vendors who use traditional means of commerce. Consumers and vendors must accept and utilize novel ways of conducting business and exchanging information if our business is to be successful. We Will Rely on and Have Minimal Control Over Third Parties. - - ----------------------------------------------------------- We expect that our operations will depend on a number of third parties over which we will have limited control. We do not plan to own an Internet gateway, but instead we will rely on an Internet Service Provider to host our website. We ------- may experience interruptions in our website connection and our ------- telecommunications access due to our reliance upon third parties. We anticipate that we will use software that is dependent on operating system, database and server software developed and produced by and licensed by third parties. We may discover errors and defects in this third party software and rely on the third parties to correct these errors and defects in a timely manner. Accordingly, continuous or prolonged interruptions in our website connection or in our ------- telecommunications access would have an adverse effect upon consumer perception of our ability to provide information in a timely and efficient manner. We Will Be at Risk of System Failure, Single Site Failure, and Failure of - - ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Delivery. - - -------- Our success will also be dependent upon our communications software and hardware. Our systems will be vulnerable to damage from earthquake, fire, floods, power loss, telecommunications failures, break-ins and similar events. Failure of information delivery can occur due to e-mail system, hosting site and/or local system failures. We have no insurance coverage on our property or business interruption insurance coverage and we do not intend to obtain this coverage in the near future. We may be vulnerable to computer viruses, physical or electronic break-ins, deliberate attempts by third parties to exceed the capacity of our systems leading to interruptions, delays, loss of data or cessation of service. The occurrence of any of these events could cause our current and prospective users to question our ability to keep their information confidential. We Will Be at Risk for Internet Commerce Security Breaches That Could Impair Our - - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Business. - - -------- A significant barrier to entry in the area of electronic commerce and communications is the secure transmission of confidential information over public networks. We will rely on encryption and authentication technology licensed from third parties to provide the security and authentication necessary to effect secure transmission of confidential information. There can be no assurance that advances in computer capabilities, new discoveries in the field of cryptography or other events or developments will not result in a compromise or breach of the algorithms we may use to protect customer transaction data. If any such compromise of our security were to occur, we may be subject to damage claims from our users or others. A party who is able to circumvent our security measures could misappropriate proprietary information. We may be required to expend significant capital and other resources to protect against security breaches or to alleviate problems caused by breaches. Concerns over the security of Internet transactions and the privacy of users may also inhibit the growth of the Internet generally, and the World Wide Web in particular, especially as a means of conducting commercial transactions. To the extent that our future activities or those of third party contractors whom we may use involve the storage and transmission of proprietary information, such as credit card numbers, security breaches could expose us to a risk of loss or litigation. There can be no assurance that we will be able to implement security measures that will prevent security breaches. We Have Substantial Near-Term Capital Needs; We May be Unable to Obtain Needed - - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Additional Funding. - - ------------------ We will require funding over the next twenty-four months to develop our business. In fact, after paying the expenses of this offering, we will have minimal capital for operations and we will have immediate funding. We currently have no source of funds. Our capital requirements will depend on many factors including, but not limited to, the timing of further development of our web site -------- and the growth of the Internet. If additional funds are raised through the issuance of equity securities, the percentage ownership of our current shareholders will be reduced. Moreover, those equity securities may have rights, preferences, and privileges senior to those of the holders of our common stock. There can be no assurance that additional capital will be available on terms favorable to us or our shareholders. Our cash requirements may vary substantially depending on our rate of development, research results, competitive and technological advances and other factors. If adequate funds are not available, we may be required to curtail operations or to obtain funds by entering into collaboration agreements on unattractive terms. Our inability to raise capital would impair the technical and presentational aspects of our website and our marketing abilities. ------- We Have Substantial Long-Term Capital Needs; We May Be Unable to Obtain Needed - - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Additional Funding. - - ------------------ Substantial expenditures will be required to further develop our web site and to market our services. The level of expenditures required for these activities will depend in part on whether we develop and market our services independently or with other companies through collaborative arrangements. Our future capital requirements will also depend on one or more of the following factors: o market acceptance of our services; o the extent and progress of our research and development programs; o competing technological and market developments; and o the costs of commercializing our services. There can be no assurance that funding will be available on favorable terms to permit successful commercialization of our website, if at all. ------- In addition, we have no credit facility or other committed sources of capital. We may be unable to establish credit arrangements on satisfactory terms, if at all. If capital resources are insufficient to meet our future capital requirements, we may have to raise additional funds to continue development of our website. There can be no assurance that such funds will be available on ------- favorable terms, if at all. To the extent that additional capital is raised through the sale of equity and/or convertible debt securities, the issuance of such securities will likely result in dilution to our shareholders. If adequate funds are not available, we may be unable to develop our operations to a sufficient level to generage revenues or become profitable. If the Securities Do Not Meet Blue Sky Resale Requirements, You May Be Unable to - - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Resell Your Securities. - - ---------------------- The securities offered by this prospectus must meet the blue sky resale requirements in the states in which the proposed purchasers reside. If we fail to meet these qualifications, the securities may be deprived of any value. If We Issue Future Shares, Present Investors' per Share Value Will be Diluted. - - ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- We are authorized to issue maximum stock of 25,000,000 common shares. As of December 31, 2000, there were 7,551,000 common shares issued and outstanding. The Board of Directors has authority to issue the balance of 17,449,000 shares of our authorized stock without shareholder consent, on terms and conditions set in the discretion of the Board, which may dilute the value of your stock. Our Principal Stockholder Controls our Company. - - ---------------------------------------------- Our company founder, principal stockholder and Director, Philip Herr, currently, owns approximately 66% of our common stock. Therefore, he will have significant influence over all matters requiring approval by our stockholders, but not requiring the approval of the minority stockholders. In addition, Philip Herr ----------- will be able to elect all of the members of our Board of Directors, allowing him to exercise significant control of our affairs and management. In addition, Philip Herr may affect most corporate matters requiring stockholder approval by written consent, without a duly-noticed and duly-held meeting of stockholders. If We Lose Any of Our Key Personnel, Our Business Would Be Impaired. - - ------------------------------------------------------------------- Our success is heavily dependent upon the continued active participation of our chief executive officer, James Charuk. Loss of his services could have a ------------- material adverse effect upon our business development. We do not maintain "KEY PERSON" life insurance on James Charuk's life. We do not have a written employment agreement with James Charuk. There can be no assurance that we will ------------ be able to recruit or retain other qualified personnel, should it be necessary to do so. We Face Competition From Other Entities Providing Services Similar to Ours. - - -------------------------------------------------------------------------- We will face intense competition in all aspects of the mortgage business. We will compete with financial intermediaries, commercial banks, savings associations, credit unions, loan brokers and insurance companies that also provide mortgage information and services to the public. These companies may offer convenience and customer service superior to that offered by our company. ----------- In addition, these companies may have better marketing and distribution channels. There can be no assurance that we will be able to compete effectively in this highly competitive industry, which could have a material adverse impact upon market acceptance of our website and the information we wish to ------- disseminate. We Have Never Paid Dividends. - - ---------------------------- We have never paid dividends. We do not anticipate declaring or paying dividends in the foreseeable future. Our retained earnings, if any, will finance the development and expansion of our business. Our dividends will be at our Board of Directors' discretion and contingent upon our financial condition, earnings, capital requirements and other factors. Future dividends may also be affected by covenants contained in loan or other financing documents we may execute. Therefore, there can be no assurance that cash dividends of any kind will ever be paid. Our Business Plan Incorporates Estimates Rather than Actual Figures. - - ------------------------------------------------------------------- The discussion of our future business is management's best estimate and analysis of the potential market, opportunities and difficulties that we face. There can be no assurances that our estimates and analysis accurately reflect our opportunities and potential for success. Competitive and economic forces make forecasting of revenues and costs difficult and unpredictable. ITEM 4. USE OF PROCEEDS Not applicable. We will not receive any proceeds from the sale of the securities by the selling security holders. ITEM 5. DETERMINATION OF OFFERING PRICE Not applicable. The selling security holders will be able to determine the price at which they sell their securities. ITEM 6. DILUTION Not applicable. We are not registering any unissued shares in this registration statement. ITEM 7. SELLING SECURITY HOLDERS The securities are being sold by the selling security holders named below. The table indicates that all the securities will be available for resale after the offering. However, any or all of the securities listed below may be retained by any of the selling security holders, and therefore, no accurate forecast can be made as to the number of securities that will be held by the selling security holders upon termination of this offering. We believe that the selling security holders listed in the table have sole voting and investment powers with respect to the securities indicated. We will not receive any proceeds from the sale of the securities.

(2) Assumes the sale of all shares offered by Selling Security Holder.
We intend to seek qualification for sale of the securities in those states where the securities will be offered. That qualification is necessary to resell the securities in the public market and only if the securities are qualified for sale or are exempt from qualification in the states in which the selling shareholders or proposed purchasers reside. There is no assurance that the states in which we seek qualification will approve of resales of our securities resales. ITEM 8. PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION The securities offered by this prospectus may be sold by the selling security holders or by those to whom such shares are transfered. We are not aware of any underwriting arrangements that have been entered into by the selling security holders. The distribution of the securities by the selling security holders may be effected in one or more transactions that may take place in the over-the-counter market, assuming a market for our securities exists, including broker's transactions, privately negotiated transactions or through sales to one or more dealers acting as principals in the resale of these securities. Any of the selling security holders, acting alone or in concert with one another, may be considered statutory underwriters under the Securities Act of 1933, if they are directly or indirectly conducting an illegal distribution of the securities on behalf of our corporation. For instance, an illegal distribution may occur if any of the selling securities holders provide us with cash proceeds from their sales of the securities. If any of the selling shareholders are determined to be underwriters, they may be liable for securities violations in connection with any material misrepresentations or omissions made in this prospectus. In addition, the selling security holders and any brokers and dealers through whom sales of the securities are made may be deemed to be "UNDERWRITERS" within the meaning of the Securities Act, and the commissions or discounts and other compensation paid to such persons may be regarded as underwriters' compensation. The selling security holders may pledge all or a portion of the securities owned as collateral for margin accounts or in loan transactions, and the securities may be resold pursuant to the terms of such pledges, accounts or loan transactions. Upon default by such selling security holders, the pledgee in such loan transaction would have the same rights of sale as the selling security holders under this prospectus. The selling security holders also may enter into exchange traded listed option transactions which require the delivery of the securities listed under this prospectus. The selling security holders may also transfer securities owned in other ways not involving market makers or established trading markets, including directly by gift, distribution, or other transfer without consideration, and upon any such transfer the transferee would have the same rights of sale as such selling security holders under this prospectus. In addition to, and without limiting, the foregoing, each of the selling security holders and any other person participating in a distribution will be affected by the applicable provisions of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, including, without limitation, Regulation M, which may limit the timing of purchases and sales of any of the securities by the selling security holders or any such other person. There can be no assurances that the selling security holders will sell any or all of the securities. In order to comply with state securities laws, if applicable, the securities will be sold in jurisdictions only through registered or licensed brokers or dealers. In various states, the securities may not be sold unless these securities have been registered or qualified for sale in such state or an exemption from registration or qualification is available and is complied with. Under applicable rules and regulations of the Exchange Act, as amended, any person engaged in a distribution of the securities may not simultaneously engage in market-making activities in these securities for a period of one or five business days prior to the commencement of such distribution. All of the foregoing may affect the marketability of the securities. Pursuant to the various agreements we have with the selling securities holders, we will pay all the fees and expenses incident to the registration of the securities, other than the selling security holders' pro rata share of underwriting discounts and commissions, if any, which is to be paid by the selling security holders.

(3 Individuals) (c) Changes in Control. There are currently no arrangements, which would result in a change in control of SMI Products, Inc. ITEM 12. DESCRIPTION OF SECURITIES The following description is a summary and is qualified in its entirety by the provisions of our Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws, copies of which have ------------------------- ------ been filed as exhibits to the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part. COMMON STOCK. General. - - ------- We are authorized to issue 25,000,000 shares of common stock, $001 par value. As of December 31, 2000, there were 7,551,000 common shares issued and outstanding. All shares of common stock outstanding are validly issued, fully paid for 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 our 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 our Board of Directors declares them out of the funds legally available and subordinate to the rights, if any, of the holders of loan or other financing documents. These dividends may be paid in cash, property or additional shares of common stock. We have not paid any dividends since our inception and presently anticipate that all earnings, if any, will be retained for development of our business. Any future dividends will be at the discretion of our Board of Directors and will depend upon, among other things, our 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 cumulative voting rights, and 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 loan or financing documents. Stock Transfer Agent - - -------------------- Upon completion of this offering, we intend to engage an independent stock transfer agency firm to serve as our registrar and stock transfer agent. SHARES ELIGIBLE FOR FUTURE SALE. The 2,516,000 shares of common stock registered in this offering will be freely tradable without restrictions under the Securities Act. No shares held by our "affiliates" (officers, directors or 10% shareholders) are being registered hereunder. The remaining 5,035,000 of our outstanding shares are held by affiliates: Mr. Herr owns 5,000,000 shares, all of which have been held for over one year; Mr. Charuk owns 25,000 shares, all of which have been held for less than one year; and Ms. Carter owns 10,000 shares, all of which have been held for less than one year. In general, under Rule 144, as currently in effect, any of our affiliates and any person or persons whose sales are aggregated who has beneficially owned his or her restricted shares for at least one year, may be entitled to sell in the open market within any three-month period a number of shares of common stock that does not exceed the greater of (i) 1% of the then outstanding shares of our common stock, or (ii) the average weekly trading volume in the common stock during the four calendar weeks preceding such sale. Sales under Rule 144 are also affected by limitations on manner of sale, notice requirements, and availability of current public information about us. Non-affiliates who have held their restricted shares for two years may be entitled to sell their shares under Rule 144 without regard to any of the above limitations, provided they have not been affiliates for the three months preceding such sale. Further, Rule 144A as currently in effect, in general, permits unlimited resales of restricted securities of any issuer provided that the purchaser is an institution that owns and invests on a discretionary basis at least $100 million in securities or is a registered broker-dealer that owns and invests $10 million in securities. Rule 144A allows our existing stockholders to sell their shares of common stock to such institutions and registered broker-dealers without regard to any volume or other restrictions. Unlike under Rule 144, restricted securities sold under Rule 144A to non-affiliates do not lose their status as restricted securities. As a result of the provisions of Rule 144, and subject to the volume limitations of Rule 144 applicable, 5,000,000 of the outstanding restricted securities, held by Mr. Herr, a director of the company, could be available immediately for sale in a public market, if developed. The availability for sale of substantial amounts of common stock under Rule 144 could adversely affect prevailing market prices, if any, for our securities. ITEM 13. EXPERTS ACCOUNTANTS - - ----------- Our Audited Financial Statements for the period from June 17, 1996 (inception) ---- to December 31, 2000, have been included in this prospectus in reliance upon of -------- Amisano Hanson, Chartered Accountants, 750 West Pender Street, Suite 604, - - ------- Vancouver, B.C. Canada, V6C 2T7, telephone 604-689-0188, as experts in accounting and auditing. LEGAL MATTERS - - ------------- The law office of Michael J. Morrison, Chtd., 1495 Ridgeview Drive, Suite 220, Reno, Nevada 89509, telephone 775-827-6300, has passed upon the validity of the shares offered and certain other legal matters in connection with this registration statement. ITEM 14. DISCLOSURE OF COMMISSION POSITION ON INDEMNIFICATION FOR SECURITIES ACT LIABILITIES Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to our directors, officers and controlling persons, we have 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 us of expenses incurred or paid by our directors, officers or controlling persons in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceedings, is asserted by such director, officer, or controlling person in connection with any securities being registered, we will, unless in the opinion of our counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by us is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issues. ITEM 16. DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS We have commenced operations on the internet. We have filed and registered a domain name and have developed a website with information services related to ------- the mortgage industry. There can be no assurance that we will be able to develop operations in this area, or any other area. BUSINESS DEVELOPMENT. We were incorporated in the State of Nevada on June 17, 1996, for the purpose of providing consulting services to businesses, and engaging in any other lawful activity. PRINCIPAL PRODUCTS AND SERVICES. We currently have a web site at the URL mortgagecommunicator.com. We have registered a domain name, and have a hosting service for mortgagecommunicator.com. - - ------------------------ Our web site provides information to visitors about different mortgages. The -------- site offers both free information services, as well as "subscribed for" member services. The free information services include: a daily mortgage commentary; a listing of the top online mortgage companies; and the daily top news headlines and stories for the mortgage and real estate industry. The subscribed for services include: A glossary of terms and frequently asked questions for the mortgage and real estate industry; mortgage calculators; an interest rate survey empowering individuals to make a more informed mortgage decision; and rate alert, a feature which allows the subscriber to set the rate and points they want, then be notified when the rate and points reach the level desired. Visitors who wish to subscribe for the member services will pay an annual subscription fee of $49.95 per year, which allows them to use the member services on our site for one year from the subscription date. Each subscriber will be granted a password for entry into the member services section of our website. We plan to charge this fee to the subscriber's credit or debit card. - - ------- We plan to process all orders by on line credit card or cyber cash systems. We currently have developed a relationship to process online orders. In addition, we have researched the needs of our planned website functions and the fees ------- associated with the services needed to fulfill those needs. Our site content will consist of information relating to the mortgage industry. In the future, we may plan to provide interest rate information by geographic area. A portion of the information available on our website may be available free of charge at other locations; however, we intend to develop more expansive information than that available free of charge. Applying for a mortgage can be a confusing, tedious and intrusive experience for homebuyers, especially first-time homebuyers. We plan to demystify the mortgage loan process by providing more expansive information to familiarize persons interested in mortgages. We plan to establish our market through e-mail advertising. We have not conducted any market testing to determine prospective advertisers on our website. Visitors will be able to obtain information twenty-four hours per day, seven days per week through the website. We also plan to sell advertising on our website to banks, mortgage brokers, builders, land appraisers, surveyors, inspectors, title companies and real estate brokers. We have not developed criteria for pricing of the advertising space; however, we anticipate pricing will be based upon advertisement size, web page placement, content requirements, contract duration and other factors. We currently have no advertisers. We plan to classify lenders' advertisements by loan products they each offer. We plan to seek lender advertisers that have a variety of products including full disclosure loans that require verification of income, assets, credit, source of funds, employment and residence history, based solely on the borrower's credit history and the loan to value ratios without any further documentation. We also plan to attract advertisers who offer programs for borrowers with previous credit blemishes and those offering sub-prime loans. The process of applying for a mortgage may be an invasive and foreign process. We believe we can take the mystique out of the process by familiarizing the borrower with required steps to obtain a mortgage. DISTRIBUTION. We plan to deliver our services through our website. As of the date of this prospectus, we have an Internet service provider, web site developer and a basic web site, all of which will be necessary to execute our plan of business. NEW PRODUCTS OR SERVICES. We currently have no new products or services announced or planned to be announced to the public. COMPETITIVE BUSINESS CONDITIONS. The conventional method of obtaining mortgage information, for at least the past fifty years, has been through personal contact with mortgage brokers or lenders, commercial banks, savings and loan associations, credit unions and insurance companies. The public has been reticent to try new vehicles or formats through which they would receive mortgage information. Despite the convenience of information offered over the Internet, including at our website, many consumers will view conventional methods of obtaining this information more convenient and offering better customer service. We believe conventional methods will continue to be a prime source of competition, along with the many other internet based mortgage information and service sites. SOURCES AND AVAILABILITY OF RAW MATERIALS. As of the date of this prospectus, we have no need for raw materials or suppliers. CUSTOMER BASE. As of the date of this prospectus, we have no customers. If we are able to establish a customer base in the future, we do not anticipate we will depend on one or a few major customers. There can be no assurance that this assumption is correct. INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY. We do not have any trademarks, patents, licenses, royalty agreements, or other proprietary interests, except for the web domain name mortgagecommunicator.com. ------------------------ GOVERNMENTAL REGULATION ISSUES. We are not now affected by direct government regulation. However, we are affected by laws, rules and regulations directly applicable to access to or commerce on the Internet generally. However, due to increasing usage of the Internet, a number of laws and regulations may be adopted relating to the Internet, covering user privacy, pricing, and characteristics and quality of products and services. Furthermore, the growth and development for Internet commerce may prompt more stringent consumer protection laws imposing additional burdens on those companies conducting business over the Internet. The adoption of any additional laws or regulations may decrease the growth of the Internet, which, in turn, could decrease the demand for Internet services and increase the cost of doing business on the Internet. These factors may have an adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition. Moreover, the interpretation of sales tax, libel and personal privacy laws applied to Internet commerce is uncertain and unresolved. We may be required to qualify to do business as a foreign corporation in each such state or foreign country. Our failure to qualify as a foreign corporation in a jurisdiction where we are required to do so could subject us to taxes and penalties. Any such existing or new legislation or regulation, including state sales tax, or the application of laws or regulations from jurisdictions whose laws do not currently apply to our business, could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition. RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT. To date, we have not undergone any research and development, except fthat required to put up our website. ENVIRONMENTAL LAW COMPLIANCE. To the extent which environmental compliance may be necessary, we do not anticipate any significant compliance expense. EMPLOYEES. We currently have one employee, James Charuk, our president and a director, who works for our corporation part-time. We have no employment contracts and our employee is not a union member or affected by labor contracts. REPORTS TO SECURITY HOLDERS. After the effective date of this registration statement, we will be a reporting company under the requirements of the Exchange Act and will file quarterly, annual and other reports with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Our annual report will contain the required audited financial statements. We are not required to deliver an annual report to security holders and will not voluntarily deliver a copy of the annual report to the security holders. The reports and other information filed by us will be available for inspection and copying at the public reference facilities of the Commission, 450 Fifth Street, N.W., Washington, D.C. 20549. Copies of such material may be obtained by mail from the Public Reference Section of the Commission at 450 Fifth Street, N.W., Washington, D.C. 20549, at prescribed rates. Information on the operation of the Public Reference Room may be obtained by calling the SEC at 1-800-SEC-0330. In addition, the Commission maintains a World Wide Website on the Internet at http://www.sec.gov that ------- ------------------ contains reports, proxy and information statements and other information regarding registrants that file electronically with the Commission. YEAR 2000 COMPLIANCE. We have no computer systems at this time. As a result, we have not encountered any compliance costs. The Y2K compliance issue is the result of computer programs being written using two digits rather than four to define the applicable year. Computer programs that have time sensitive software may recognize a date using "00" as the year 1900 rather than 2000. This could result in a systems failure or miscalculation causing disruption of operations, including, among other things, a temporary inability to process transactions, send invoices, or engage in similar normal business activities. Although the Year 2000 event has already occurred, there may be some chance that the effects of that event on computer systems have not yet become apparent, we do not anticipate Y2K issues will have a significant effect on our corporation or operations. ITEM 17. PLAN OF OPERATIONS The discussion contained in this prospectus contains "FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS" that involve risk and uncertainties. These statements may be identified by the use of terminology such as "BELIEVES," "EXPECTS," "MAY," "WILL," "SHOULD" or "ANTICIPATES" or expressing this terminology negatively or similar expressions or by discussions of strategy. The cautionary statements made in this prospectus are applicable to all related forward-looking statements wherever they appear in this prospectus. Our actual results could differ materially from those discussed in this prospectus. Important factors that could cause or contribute to such differences include those discussed under the caption entitled "RISK FACTORS," as well as those discussed elsewhere in this registration statement. We are a development stage company without operations or revenues. We are unable to satisfy cash requirements without management's financial support or other funding. Our management and certain investors have made $50,100 of capital contributions to our business. We anticipate, but have no assurance, that we will meet our cash requirements for the foreseeable future through the financial support of our management. Management's capital contributions will be accomplished through interest bearing promissory notes between our company and ----------- management. No promissory notes are currently in effect. We have not determined the amount of funds that will be necessary for management to contribute at this time. Nor is there any assurance our management will have funds available to loan us as and when we require funds. In such event, we will be required to seek loans and/or equity funding from third parties, and there is no assurance we will be able to do so. Over the next twelve months, we plan to further develop our web site to -------- provide mortgage related information. We will require additional funds to further develop our website. Although we plan to raise additional ------- funds, we have not yet determined how, where or when we will obtain these funds. There is no assurance that we will be able to obtain financing for our business development. If adequate funds are not available to us, we believe that our business development will be adversely affected. Until such time as our website is fully developed, we do not expect to have any significant revenues from our operations. We anticipate that if our website ------- becomes fully operational, we will generate revenues from the sale of subscriptions to the website and though the sale of advertisements. There is no ------- assurance that we will be successful in selling subscriptions or advertising for our website. We have no other sources of revenue. As such, if we are not ------- successful in this regard, we will be unable to achieve revenues under our current business plan. If our company or its management receives proceeds from the sales of the ------------ securities by the selling security shareholders, which neither the company nor its management has any intent to do, those persons may have conducted an illegal distribution of our securities and may be deemed underwriters. Accordingly, they will have liability for any material misrepresentations or omissions in this document and otherwise in the offer and sale of securities. We do not anticipate significant research and development expenses over the next twelve months. We do not expect to purchase or sell any plant and significant equipment or make any significant changes in the number of employees over the next twelve months. ITEM 18. DESCRIPTION OF PROPERTY Our executive offices are located at 3503 Cedar Locust, Sugarland, TX 77479, telephone (713) 265-8660, where we share space in the offices our President, James Charuk. The space is approximately 400 square feet total, of which we - - ------------- occupy a small portion without charge. We feel that this space is adequate for our needs at this time, and we feel that we will be able to locate adequate space in the future, if needed, on commercially reasonable terms. ITEM 19. CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS Other than the sale of shares to our officers and directors, we have not entered -------- into any transactions with our officers, directors, persons nominated for such positions, beneficial owners of 5% or more of our common stock, or family members of such persons.

FINANCIAL STATEMENTS SMI PRODUCTS, INC.

AMISANO HANSON KEVIN HANSON, C.A. Chartered Accountants INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT To the Stockholders, SMI Products, Inc. We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of SMI Products, Inc. (A Development Stage Enterprise) as at December 31, 2000, 1999, 1998, 1997 and 1996 and the statements of operations, stockholders' equity and cash flows for each of the years in the four year period ended December 31, 2000, the seven months ended December 31, 1996 and for the period from inception, June 17, 1996 to December 31, 2000. These financial statements are the responsibility of the company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits in accordance with United States generally accepted auditing standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform an audit to obtain reasonable assurance 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 statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion. In our opinion, these financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of SMI Products, Inc. as at December 31, 2000, 1999, 1998, 1997 and 1996 and the results of its operations and cash flows for each of the years in the four year period ended December 31, 2000, the seven months ended December 31, 1996 and for the period from inception, June 17, 1996 to December 31, 2000, in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States. The accompanying consolidated financial statements referred to above have been prepared assuming that the company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 1 to the financial statements, the company is in the development stage, and has no established source of revenue and is dependent on its ability to raise capital from shareholders or other sources to sustain operations. These factors, along with other matters as set forth in Note 1, raise substantial doubt that the company will be able to continue as a going concern. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

SMI PRODUCTS, INC. (A Development Stage Company) NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS December 31, 2000, 1999, 1998, 1997 and 1996 (Stated in US Dollars) -------------------- Note 1 Nature and Continuance of Operations ------------------------------------ The company is in the development stage and is engaged in the business of internet real estate mortgage services. These financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis. The company has accumulated losses of $37,239 since inception. Its ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon the ability of the company to generate profitable operations in the future and/or to obtain the necessary financing to meet its obligations and repay its liabilities arising from normal business operations when they come due. Note 2 Summary of Significant Accounting Principles -------------------------------------------- The financial statements of the company have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States. Because a precise determination of many assets and liabilities is dependent upon future events, the preparation of financial statements for a period necessarily involved the use of estimates which have been made using careful judgement. Actual results may differ from these estimates. The financial statements, in management's opinion, have been properly prepared within reasonable limits of materiality and within the framework of the significant accounting policies summarized below: Organization ------------ The company was incorporated in the State of Nevada on June 17, 1996. Development Stage Company ------------------------- The company is a development stage company as defined in Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 7. Organization Costs ------------------ Organization costs are recorded at cost. The company provides for amortization using the straight-line method over five years. Income Taxes ------------ The company uses the liability method of accounting for income taxes pursuant to Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 109 "Accounting for Income Taxes". Basic Loss per Share -------------------- The company reports basic loss per share in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 128, "Earnings Per Share". Basic loss per share is computed using the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the years. Diluted loss per share has not been provided as it would be antidilutive. Note 2 Summary of Significant Accounting Principles - (cont'd) -------------------------------------------- Fair Market Value of Financial Instruments ------------------------------------------ The carrying values of cash and advance receivable approximate fair value because of the short maturity of those instruments. Note 3 Advance Receivable ------------------ The advance receivable is unsecured, non-interest bearing with no specific terms for repayment. Note 4 Organization Costs ------------------
Accumulated Net Carrying Amounts Cost Amortization 2000 1999 1998 1997 1996 ---- ------------ ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- Incorporation $1,000 $917 $83 $283 $483 $683 $883 fees ====== ==== === ==== ==== ==== ====
Note 5 Due to Related Party -------------------- The amount due to related party is due to a director of the company and is unsecured, non-interest bearing and has no specific terms for repayment. Note 6 Capital Stock ------------- Authorized: 25,000,000 common shares with a par value of $0.001. Note 7 Deferred Tax Assets ------------------- The Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement Number 109 in Accounting for Income Taxes ("FAS 109") which is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 1992. FAS 109 requires the use of the asset and liability method of accounting of income taxes. Under the assets and liability method of FAS 109, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to temporary differences between the financial statements carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and loss carryforwards and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. Note 7 Deferred Tax Assets - (cont'd) ------------------- The following table summarizes the significant components of the company's deferred tax assets: Total ----- Deferred Tax Assets Net operating loss carryforward $ 37,239 ======== Gross deferred tax assets $ 37,239 Valuation allowance for deferred tax asset (18,620) ------- $ 18,619 ======== The amount taken into income as deferred tax assets must reflect that portion of the income tax loss carryforwards which is likely to be realized from future operations. The company has chosen to provide an allowance of 100% against all available income tax loss carryforwards, regardless of their time of expiry. Note 8 Income Taxes ------------ No provision for income taxes has been provided in these financial statements due to the net loss. At December 31, 1999, the company has net operating loss carryforwards, which expire commencing in 2016 totalling approximately $37,239. The potential tax benefit of these losses, if any, has not been recorded in the financial statements. Note 9 New Accounting Standard ----------------------- In March 1995, Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 12 ("SFAS-12") "Accounting for Impairment of long-lived assets and for long-lived assets to be disposed of" was issued. Certain long-lived assets held by the company must be reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Accordingly, the impairment loss is recognized in the period it is determined. The company has adopted these standards and there was no material effect on its financial position or results of operations of the company from its adoption. ITEM 23.

A company may also protect its officers and directors from expenses associated with litigation arising from or related to their duties, except for violations of criminal law, transactions involving improper benefit or willful misconduct.
