SUMMARY OF THE OFFERING
-----------------------
Terms of Offering: This is a minimum/maximum offering. We, as your management,
will only determine that the offering has been subscribed and
closed when a minimum of $100,000 of gross proceeds has been
received within the offering term of one-hundred and twenty
days (120/days) from the date appearing on the face of this
prospectus. Based upon an effective date of September 30,
2000 this would mean an outside offering date of January 31,
2001. All funds received up to the minimum offering will be
held in a segregated subscription account by the company,
until or unless the minimum offering is reached within the
subscription term. If the minimum offering is not reached
within this subscription term, all proceeds will be promptly
returned to the investors in this offering without interest
or deduction for costs. We may close the offering at any time
after the minimum offering is sold within the offering term.
However, if the maximum offering of $200,000 is reached, the
offering will be closed when and if such amount is obtained
within the offering term. There is neither an obligation or
prohibition placed upon officers, directors, affiliates or
any related party buying shares to satisfy either the minimum
or maximum offering. Further, there is no dollar limit on the
amount of securities in this offering that may be purchased
by the persons affiliated with Kinship. Any shares purchased
by Kinship affiliates will be restricted stock and must be
held for investment purposes. All proceeds received after the
minimum offering will be paid directly to Kinship and may be
used for the anticipated company purposes as received.
Kinship is selling 100,000 (min.) to 200,000 (max.) of its
common voting stock in this Offering at $1.00/share. There is
no minimum subscription amount.
No allowances are made for the payment of commissions as we
intend to sell the offering through our own management,
self-underwriting, without the payment of any third party
commission or fees. Should we not be successful in selling
the offering, we may elect to amend this registration
statement and prospectus to provide for the payment of
commissions to any licensed third party underwriter or
broker, at which time the amount of commissions would be
described in the forepart of the prospectus. See section on
Terms of the Offering.

<PAGE>
Business: We, to date, have not engaged in any active
business purpose. We have recently entered into a Product
Distribution Agreement with ProSource Software for the
distribution and marketing rights to what we believe is a
unique proprietary computer software used in vehicular
accident reconstruction and analysis. The contract
essentially provides for a discount purchase right to the
technology by Kinship on a geographic exclusive basis for an
initial two year term. Kinship, if the supplier is not able
to satisfy demand, may also arrange for third party
manufacturing of the technology. This contract is more fully
explained under the Business Section.
Use of Proceeds: Kinship intends to primarily use offering proceeds for
marketing the software. However, each of you should
understand that we have broad discretion, in the exercise of
sound business judgment, to alter or amend the specific use
of proceeds applicable. See Use of Proceeds Section.
Control &
Ownership: You should also understand that even in the event of the sale
of the maximum offering, you and other shareholders
purchasing pursuant to this registration will hold only a
minority interest in Kinship and that the original founders
and shareholders will continue to maintain a majority
sharehold interest. See Risk Factors and Terms of the
Offering.
Offering Price: The offering price for shares in this registration have been
arbitrarily set by us and do not purport, in any way, to
reflect the actual value of Kinship or its assets. See
section on Terms of the Offering. Cost of Offering: We have
estimated the cost of this offering to be approximately
$20,000 which amount should include registration fees,
printing, legal, accounting and distribution costs.
No Commissions: No allowances are made for the payment of commissions as we
intend to sell the offering through our own management
without the payment of any third party commission or fees.
Should we not be successful in selling the offering, we may
elect to amend this registration statement and prospectus to
provide for the payment of commissions to any licensed third
party underwriter or broker, at which time the amount of
commissions would be described in the forepart of the
prospectus. See Section on Terms of the Offering.

<PAGE>
RISK FACTORS
------------
The following constitutes what we believe to be the significant risk
factors in this offering. Each investor should read the entire prospectus, as
these risk factors may be discussed or illuminated by other sections.
1- The assets in which you are acquiring an interest by investing may only
be short term, as Kinship only has a contract right to market the software for a
two year period. The current products of Kinship are not only unproven, but are
distributed by Kinship only pursuant to a two year distribution contract. As a
result, there is no assurance the company can continue to market its licensed
products beyond this initial two year term, or that it will be able to have any
business purpose beyond this term.
2- You must recognize a risk as an investor in this offering that Kinship
will have only a limited amount of capital resources after this offering to
attempt to meet its business purposes. We have intentionally limited the amount
of money to be raised in this offering to help in efforts to close this offering
as a self-underwriting by potential contacts of management and without the need
to employ third party underwriters or broker dealers. As a result, the amount of
capital being raised is marginal and may not be adequate to fully or
sufficiently fund the business plan or complete one or more of the stated
objectives of Kinship. Further, Kinship has no alternative financing plan.
3- By investing in this offering you will be at risk, because Kinship is
just commencing business and is not a proven venture. This is a start-up
enterprise without any operating history or record. No assurance can be made or
given that the business concepts or products will be viable, can be profitably
marketed or that you, as investors in this offering, will receive any return on
your investment.
4- Current Shareholders will continue to control Kinship after this
offering. Even in the event that the maximum amount is sold in this offering,
the original shareholders in Kinship prior to this offering will continue to
hold the majority of the shares and thereby control the future of Kinship in
such important matters as type of business, compensation to management and
control of the corporation's Board of Directors.
5- You may not be able to trade your Kinship shares, because there are no
public markets on which Kinship stock trades. As of the time of the anticipated
effective date of this registration statement, there will not exist any publicly
traded market for Kinship's shares. Even after the completion of this offering,
as a minimum or maximum offering, there can be no assurance that a publicly
traded market will develop for the shares being sold to you in this offering. If
we are not able to develop a public trading market for the shares, there may be
limited liquidity of the shares and you may be forced to hold such shares for an
indefinite period of time and to then rely upon the uncertain prospects of
"private"sales of your securities in order to have any type of a marketability
or "exit strategy."
6- You should recognize a risk that there is no objective standard for the
value of your shares as Management set the offering price without reference to
any valuation formula. The offering price of the shares being sold in this
offering were arbitrarily set by us and do not reflect any intrinsic value of
Kinship or its shares.
7- If you invest, your shares will be worth less after the offering than
what you paid for them. Because various of the initial shares in this
3
<PAGE>
corporation were issued to founders or other affiliated parties for minimal
capitalization and intangibles, such as concepts, entrepreneurship and other
factors not involving hard assets or cash, you, as a post organization investor
in this offering, will suffer a "dilution" in value of the shares you purchase
in this offering - that is the reduction in value of your shares after the
offering compared to the price of the shares being purchased in the offering.
See Dilution Section.
8- Each investor faces a risk of loss of their investment, because the
Kinship products and potential markets are unproven. The concepts and products
described in this offering have traditionally been associated with a limited
market. There is no assurance that we will be successful in profitably marketing
the intended services and products either to this limited market or beyond this
limited market. See Description of Business and Markets.
9- There is an investment risk which may adversely affect the value of your
investment to the extent that Kinship will only have a limited exclusive market.
We are obtaining exclusive geographic rights to the technology. This means the
licensor or owner of the software directly, or through one or more third
parties, may compete with us in other geographic areas not included in our
distribution contract.
10- The value of your investment is diminished, because a significant
portion of offering proceeds are being used to pay offering costs. The cost of
the offering constitutes a substantial portion of the proceeds of this offering,
up to 20% in the event only the minimum offering is sold. As a result, you
should understand that much of the proceeds being raised will be used to pay the
cost of this offering, rather than being employed for actual business purposes.
We anticipated this consequence as a result of our efforts to maintain a limited
offering size. However, there remains a risk that a relatively high portion of
the proceeds of the offering will be used to pay costs rather than direct
business development. See Use of Proceeds, Description of Business and Terms of
the Offering sections.
11- You face an investment risk in this offering, because Management lacks
experience in managing a public company. We have limited experience in business
activities and no experience in the management of a public company. You will be
relying upon management to be able to manage a public company, complete the
reporting requirements and to learn and discharge the other responsibilities
incident to the operation of a publicly held reporting company if this offering
is successfully closed.
12- In any start-up you have a greater risk of loss of your investment than
purchasing shares in a seasoned company. As a start-up company, there may be
some cost overruns and other problems that are not disclosed or anticipated by
this offering and which may impede the return of investment or the continued
commercial operations of Kinship.
DILUTION
Dilution is a term which normally defines the reduction in value per share
which occurs to the investor in certain offerings compared to the purchase price
of those shares. By way of specific illustration, an investor in this offering
is paying $1.00 per share. It is estimated that the net worth per share after
the completion of the maximum offering will only be $.14. Therefore, each
investor in this offering will suffer an immediate dilution to his investment of
$.86 per share or 86 % in the maximum offering; and $.92 per share or 92 % in
the minimum offering. These dilution factors are illustrated in the following
graphical representations:
4
<PAGE>
Minimum offering Maximum Offering
Value Subscription Value share after Value Subscription Value share
$1.00/share offering $1.00/share after offering
100% $ .08/share 100% $.14 /share
(Rounded) (Rounded)
Dilution Dilution
Dilution 92% Dilution 86%
(GRAPHIC OMITTED)
In this offering dilution primarily arises because the original founders
and affiliated parties who organized the corporation took shares for
entrepreneurial effort and concepts, but with the transfer of minimal cash. As a
result, after the initial funding, there was not any significant accountable net
worth in the company. You, as an investor, will contribute essentially all of
the working capital, but which contribution is divided not only by shares sold
in this offering, but also among those issued to the original shareholders thus
resulting in the dilution described above.
PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION AND TERMS OF THE OFFERING
As noted previously, Kinship does not intend to employ the services of any
underwriter or other broker/dealer to place or sell its securities. Kinship
believes it can place the limited amount of securities being offered by this
registration through the efforts of its own management group who will not be
paid any consideration, commission or other compensation for the selling and
placement efforts. Consequently, no provisions for commissions have been
provided for in this prospectus. Should management determine, at any time, that
it is necessary to sell this offering through the use of commissions to an
underwriter, management will reserve the right to amend the registration and
prospectus to reflect any such commission arrangements and to continue with the
offering in accordance with all other terms and provisions.
Of current management, it is anticipated that Mr. Limpert and Mr. Deru will
be primarily responsible for the efforts to sell the Kinship stock pursuant to
this offering to various business contacts and acquaintances through delivery of
the prospectus. No assurance of their success can be given and they will only
engage in these efforts, part-time, as they elect. They will engage in such
activities on their own time without compensation. Obviously, there is an
indirect benefit to management as principal shareholders if the shares are sold
in this offering as the management shareholders would most likely realize an
increase in the value of their shares and potentially an active market for their
shares. Mr. Limpert and Mr. Deru will continue working full-time as financial
and retirement planners at their affiliated firm of Belson Getty, LLC.
The costs of this offering are estimated at $20,000, and include legal,
accounting, filing or permit fees, printing and related distribution costs.
These amounts are estimates but are believed reasonably accurate for the
intended size of the offering. As noted under the Risk Factors and Use of
Proceeds Sections, payment of these estimated offering costs will expend a
significant portion of both the minimum or maximum offering, this will limit the
amount of net proceeds available for actual business purposes.
Proceeds of the offering, up to the minimum offering, will be placed in a
segregated subscription account under control of Kinship and will not be
5
<PAGE>
employed for any business purposes of the company until or unless the minimum
offering is sold within the offering term of 120 days from the date appearing on
the face of this prospectus. If the minimum offering is not fully sold and
collected within such minimum period, then the offering will be terminated and
all proceeds will be returned without deduction for costs or addition of any
interest. Kinship will obtain an address from each subscriber and will return
all proceeds within ten days of the termination of the offering to that address.
Any interest earned on the subscription account will be employed by Kinship to
pay for anticipated offering costs and return of subscription proceeds to
investors.
In the event of the close of the minimum offering, Kinship will employ
proceeds of this offering upon receipt and the subscription account will no
longer be employed.
Kinship reserves the right to close the offering at any time within the
offering term of 120 days when the minimum offering has been sold, even if less
than the maximum offering has been sold. Factors which may influence Kinship's
decision to close the offering would be the effort required to continue sales
and the rate at which subscriptions were obtained up to the minimum offering. In
all events, the company will not sell more than the maximum offering and will
close the offering at any time that the maximum amount has been sold. The Use of
Proceeds section reflects Kinship's best present estimate of the use of proceeds
in the event of either the minimum or maximum offering. The offering may be
closed at some point between the minimum and maximum and the use of proceeds
will be adjusted accordingly, though no assurance is given or represented that
such adjustment will be exactly pro rata to the percentage difference between
the minimum and maximum offering.
It is intended the offering will be sold primarily to citizens of the State
of Utah and that the offering will qualify in Utah as a registration by
coordination. That is, Kinship will be deemed to be qualified as a registered
offering in Utah upon clearance of this registration with the SEC. If the
offering is offered or sold in other jurisdictions, the offering must be
registered or qualified under the applicable state law of that jurisdiction.
Kinship does not intend to register this offering in any other jurisdiction for
sale unless such registration can primarily be achieved by coordination without
the necessity of any merit or substantial additional disclosure requirements.
However, should Kinship elect to sell in any jurisdiction that imposes any
additional disclosure requirements, they will be included in this offering as a
supplemental disclosure.
Also, as previously noted, the company has not secured a commitment to list
or trade the securities being registered through any broker/dealer and there is
no present assurance that a public market will exist for the securities even in
the event of a successful completion of this offering. Each prospective investor
should consider the potential lack of a public market as a significant risk
factor. Management will work to obtain the listing of the securities after this
offering by one or more broker/dealers, but can give no warranty or assurance
that they will be successful in such efforts.
No shares of current management or original shareholders are being
registered pursuant to this offering and no intent or obligation exists by
Kinship to currently register issued shares in any manner.
USE OF PROCEEDS
We have set-out in the following tabular format the intended use of
proceeds based upon the sale of either the minimum or maximum offering. As
previously advised, each prospective investor should be aware that the offering
may be closed at some point between the minimum and maximum offering and there
would be some allocation of the use of proceeds between the two tables, though
6
<PAGE>
management is under no requirement to exactly complete a mathematical pro ration
on the use of proceeds.
You are advised that management may alter or change the use of proceeds in
the exercise of sound business discretion after the completion of the offering
and the following should constitute only an outline of the present intended use
of proceeds.

</TABLE>
Kinship has reserved and allocated approximately $25,000 of the net
proceeds of the Offering for operational costs. The operational allocations are
allocated to cover the minimum costs of operations of Kinship for an estimated
period of six months. Included within the operational allocation would be
payment of rent, utilities, and other overhead; as well as a base salary stipend
of $1,000/monthly for the present Chief Executive Officer of the Company for his
services on an as needed basis. It is not anticipated that there will be any
full time salaried officers or employees during this initial start-up phase,
unless revenues are generated sufficient to justify payment of salaries to other
employees through those revenues. The total amount of salary allocated for the
7
<PAGE>
initial six month period to the Chief Executive Officer will not exceed $6,000.
It should be understood this is a reduced stipend from the base salary proposed
for the CEO and he has agreed to accept this as a minimal allocation from
proceeds during the start-up phase.
It is anticipated that revenues will be sufficient to cover operating
expenses after the first six months of operation, though no assurance or
warranty of this projection can be made. We may elect to use additional offering
proceeds for continuing operations beyond the six month term in the exercise of
sound business discretion. In all events, the use of proceeds of the offering to
pay operational costs will necessarily reduce the amount of proceeds of the
offering available for actual product marketing and distribution. Each
prospective investor should understand that there is a risk factor in investing
in a start-up entity that may use substantial offering proceeds for operational
costs when the company does not have sufficient revenues to pay for such costs.
There is no assurance that any of the estimated use of proceeds for the
specific business purposes outlined above will be sufficient to adequately fund
the costs of operation and start up of the various business operations.
We reserve the right to explore supplemental financing, through either
private placements or loans, should the proceeds of this offering not prove
adequate to complete our business purposes. No warranties or assurances have
been made or represented in any manner that Kinship would be successful in
securing alternative financing and no prospective investors should invest with
the expectation that such alternative funding is available.
As noted above, Kinship has allocated $30,000 in the event of the
minimum offering and approximately $100,000 in the maximum offering towards the
direct distribution and marketing efforts for the "software technology"
consisting of the unique proprietary software. It is intended that Kinship will
primarily use these proceeds to attempt to acquire and retain various
distributors on a commission basis for the product, as well as direct marketing
efforts through direct conventional and e-mail mailings and other selective
Internet marketing efforts. At the present, Kinship is completing an internal
business plan as to an allocation of these anticipated proceeds between a
website, catalog advertising and direct mailing to various companies or
individuals who may be prospective distributors of the intended product line. A
final allocation of proceeds between these various advertising mediums has not
been determined, but it is generally anticipated that from all proceeds used for
marketing, approximately15% will be earmarked for the Website; 15% for catalog;
and 70% for initial direct mailing efforts.
DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS
-----------------------
Kinship Systems, Inc. was incorporated in the State of Utah on February
1, 2000 under the initial name of Kinship Communications, Inc. The name was
subsequently changed, due to availability, as of March 2, 2000 to Kinship
Systems, Inc. Because no business, other than organizational matters, were
conducted under the Kinship Communications name, Kinship does not deem the name
to have any significance and has referred to itself for the purposes of this
prospectus as Kinship Systems, Inc.
On May 4, 2000, Kinship entered into a product distribution agreement
with ProSource Software, Inc., the Supplier, for specific computer software
developed and marketed by ProSource primarily for software programs designed for
vehicle accident analysis and reconstruction, Exhibit "F". This is a limited
industry in which various accident reconstruction experts, as well as various
traffic and law enforcement agencies, attempt to analyze data related to
8
<PAGE>
accident reconstruction. The primary purpose of this type of analysis is to
provide for liability and damage consultation and services related to litigation
which may arise out of vehicle accidents.
The technology is also used by various police departments in accessing
liability or fault in a traffic accident situation. Because of the limited scope
of the software it is considered a "specialty item" which would have interest
primarily to insurance companies, potential litigants and their legal counsel,
as well as various police and transportation departments.
The principal software for which Kinship is obtaining a distribution
right is known as the "Larm 2"(TM). Larm is an acronym for linear and rotational
momentum. This software is used for various vehicle accident diagram programs
and analysis as to speed, direction, vector analysis and potential physical
damages caused by various hypothetical accident configurations. The other
software is known as the "Accident Avoidance Analysis"(TM) (AAA) which is
primarily used to analyze various speed and distances factors related to
accident reconstruction work. This software is also employed to determine under
what conditions of speed and distance an accident scenario may have been
avoided.
The specific terms of the marketing agreement between Kinship and
ProSource Software provides that Kinship would have the exclusive marketing
rights to this software in the states of Utah, Idaho, Arizona and California.
ProSource would sell the software, manuals and advertising material for this
software configured for either single, network or lan users at a 20 percent
discount to the prevailing market price employed by ProSource. It would be
anticipated that Kinship would then resell the product at a 20 percent markup
within the exclusively designated geographic areas. The initial term of the
agreement is for 2 years.
Kinship intends to use direct mailing, e-mailing, trade print
advertising and Web Site sales as the primary marketing tools for this product,
though no assurance or warranty of successful marketing efforts can be made.
After the termination of the initial 2 year term of the agreement, the
parties may renegotiate a continuation of the contract as mutually agreed upon.
There is no obligation or warranty that either Kinship or ProSource will
continue with the marketing of the software or other software products from
ProSource after the termination of the initial 2 year term.
A particular risk factor exists if Kinship is very successful in its
marketing of the product; the supplier may be inclined not to renew the
distribution contract in anticipation of assuming the market share developed by
Kinship. Upon a cursory market review, Kinship is not aware of alternative or
competing software programs such that there would not presently appear to be any
alternative software product which it could sell or distribute.
The contract also provides that if ProSource is, at any time, unable to
adequately supply software, manuals or other components of the software product
to be marketed, then Kinship may, at its own cost and expense, obtain third
party production of these materials and resell the materials at its current
prevailing market price.
A copy of the distribution agreement between the supplier and Kinship is
attached and incorporated as Exhibit "E" to this registration statement, but is
not included in the prospectus delivered to you. Any potential investor desiring
to review this contract prior to investing may obtain a copy by requesting the
document from Kinship.

<PAGE>
The present business of Kinship is too new for Kinship to make any
reasonable projections as to gross revenues, net profits, if any, or even the
number of units which must be sold by Kinship to obtain profitability. Further,
Kinship is not able to make any present estimates or projections as to
geographic areas, markets or specific customers to which most of the products
may be sold.
Kinship's plan of operation for the next twelve month period generally
follows the use of proceeds and commentary to that section. That is, Kinship
anticipates it can function with part-time participation of its three management
figures until anticipated revenues would allow it to hire a full- time manager
and other employees after a projected six month start-up period. Kinship
anticipates, but again cannot warrant, that it should realize net profits after
approximately six to twelve months of operations. Kinship has reserved an
interim stipend of $1,000/month for which Mr. Deru has agreed to devote such
time as required to the start-up of the company for the first six months of
operation. Kinship does not believe adequate data exists to make revenue or
income projections beyond these rudimentary start-up estimates.
Upon preliminary analysis, and because of the specialty scope of the
software, Kinship is not aware of any competitive software or companies, though
it acknowledges the relative ease of entry into this market sector. Kinship
would also note that various insurance companies and police forces use similar
internally created software for this type of analysis, which private software
while not competitive reduces the demand for the company's technology.
It is anticipated that market analysis will subsequently be available
and can be disclosed to shareholders in Kinship as Kinship generates such data
from anticipated sales and revenues.
No assurance or warranty can be given that Kinship will be successful in
any manner in the marketing or distribution of the product.
NUMBER OF PERSONS EMPLOYED
At present, only Mr. Tery Deru will act as a part-time officer of
Kinship during the initial start-up phase. Mr. David Collier as the Vice
President, and Mr. Andrew Limpert as the Secretary/Treasurer will serve Kinship
part-time on an as needed basis during the initial organizational period. These
individuals have agreed to receive subsequently determined stock options and
rights as deferred compensation for their part-time service during this initial
phase, as Kinship will not have sufficient proceeds to pay a salary to these
individuals. It is believed that the individuals will devote such time as may be
necessary to discharge various obligations in those capacities as well as their
service on the Board of Directors where applicable.
Mr. Deru acting as the part-time President will be responsible for all
of the day to day administrative duties for Kinship including necessary clerical
and administrative functions until such time as anticipated revenues would allow
for the hiring of any support personnel. Mr. Deru will receive a cost of living
stipend from offering proceeds up to $6,000 at $1,000 per month during the
initial six months of operations.
If subsequent revenues would justify the hiring of various personnel,
Kinship would intend to hire management, clerical and marketing personnel to
assist in the operation of the company, including the distribution of the
product. As noted earlier, it is anticipated, though not warranted, that such
personnel may be hired after the initial six months depending upon the revenues
generated from Kinship's operations.
10
<PAGE>
ENVIRONMENTAL COMPLIANCE
It is not anticipated that the general products or services to be
supplied by Kinship will have significant or particular environmental compliance
requirements or regulations.
DESCRIPTION OF PROPERTY
Kinship currently operates a combined limited assembly and
administrative office/plant from leased space located at 22 East 100 South,
Suite 400, Salt Lake City, Utah 84111. This property consists of approximately
800 square feet which is currently retained on a one year sublease with gross
rental payments of $200.00 per month with the present lease term expiring in
March 31st of 2001, but with the right of renewal for three more years on a to
be negotiated basis.
The present facilities are believed adequate for the initial operation
of Kinship through the expenditure of the anticipated proceeds of this offering.
Thereafter, if the products are being successfully marketed and demand increases
beyond an estimated one hundred units per month of sales, the present facilities
would have to be expanded or other facilities acquired to meet demand. The
administrative offices consists of approximately one fourth of the lease area
and are considered adequate for the start-up period.
Total monthly costs of operation of the physical facilities including
rents, all utilities and other office expenses, except salaries, are estimated
to be approximately $250.00 per month at the present time.
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
-----------------------------------------------------------
As noted previously, Kinship is a start-up entity without prior
operating history, revenues or income. No assurance or warranty can be made that
Kinship will be successful in its anticipated business operations and the nature
of a start-up entity is that it poses significant risk factors as to whether any
investor will receive back a return of investment, or whether they will lose
their entire investment.
The initial capital of Kinship was $25,000 of which approximately $59
was expended through April, 2000. It is anticipated that all initial capital
will be expended in paying costs related to this registration.
The accountants have noted in their notes to the financial statements,
Note 5, that because Kinship has no operating history and limited
capitalization, the auditors must reserve opinion as to whether the company may
continue as a "going concern."
We have also expressed in the Risk Factors, and other sections of this
registration, some concern that the capitalization may be too limited to
adequately fund the intended business activities. We believe Kinship must take
this risk based upon its inability to obtain an underwritten offering for
greater capital. As a result, it must limit the amount of capital being raised
to that which reasonably can be anticipated through management's efforts. We
believe, but cannot warrant, that such capital should be adequate to move
Kinship to a point where revenues are generated by Kinship's licensed software,
if the product proves to be commercially viable.
Investors in this offering are assuming a risk as to both viability of
the product as a commercially marketable technology, as well as the normal risk
inherent in a start-up entity with limited capitalization.
11
<PAGE>
Because no revenues have been generated to date, there does not exist
any standard methodology to break down risk factors as to what sectors or
clients, if any, may generate revenues, actual profit margins, costs of
operation and other standard accounting and financial measurements. The lack of
such financial standards and measurements must be considered as an additional
risk factor to investors in this type of offering.
There is also a concern that actual costs of operation may
substantially exceed the projections used by Kinship in preparing the Use of
Proceeds Section in which event Kinship may have to spend more of the net
proceeds of this offering to sustain minimal operations and devote less to
product development and marketing.

15
<PAGE>
INTEREST OF MANAGEMENT AND OTHERS IN CERTAIN TRANSACTIONS
---------------------------------------------------------
There are certain transactions related to Kinship and this offering
which are not deemed to be "arms-length" transactions. That is, the parties on
both sides of the contract or agreement have substantial relationships or common
interests. All such material transactions are believed to be disclosed in this
section:
1. The distribution contract, described earlier in the offering, was
not negotiated or derived between totally separate or disinterested parties. Mr.
Limpert, on behalf of Kinship, had substantial prior involvement and
participation with the supplier, ProSource Software, in the initial development
and implementation of the technology products subject to the distribution
contract as a prior sale's agent of ProSource. It is believed that Kinship may
not have known about or have been directed to pursue its current technology
products, but for the prior affiliation of Mr. Limpert with ProSource. As a
result, each investor in this offering should consider that the terms and
provision of such distribution contract may not be the result of an arms-length
bargaining agreement between two totally disinterested parties. However, Mr.
Limpert presently has no affiliation with ProSource.
2. Mr. Limpert and Mr. Deru have had a substantial prior business
relationship and dealings as financial planners and part owners of the Belsen
Getty financial planning firm. As a result, they may bring with them historical
relationships and interests which would not be the same as two totally
disinterested parties being retained as officers and directors of a public
company by unrelated management.
3. Each investor in the offering should consider, even if the total
offering is sold, the prior management group, as described above, will continue
in control and will essentially be in a position to dictate salaries,
distributions, and other interests as to all shareholders. While there is a
general common law or statutory obligation placed upon management of Kinship to
act in the best interest of all shareholders, each investor in this offering
should consider that their minority shareholders status imposes a certain risk
of not being in a position to influence or affect the direction of the company.
SECURITIES BEING OFFERED
------------------------
Kinship's voting common stock is being offered by this prospectus. Of
the Fifty-Million (50,000,000) shares of common stock authorized, $0.001 par,
Kinship presently has issued and outstanding 1,270,000 shares of common stock
and will sell between 100,000 shares of common stock in the minimum offering and
200,000 shares in the maximum offering. If the minimum offering is sold, the
shareholders purchasing in this offering would hold 7.3 % of the issued and
outstanding common stock and in the event of the maximum offering 13.6% of the
issued and outstanding common stock.
In summary of the nature of the securities being offered, each investor
should note as follows:
o Kinship does not have any dividend policy nor has it declared
dividends. It is not anticipated that dividends will be paid for the foreseeable
future by Kinship.
o Each common share has an equal voting right.
o There are no pre-emptive rights or cumulative voting in Kinship.
16
<PAGE>
o The shares are not subject to any conversion rights or obligations,
nor any redemptive provisions, sinking fund provisions, or liability to call or
assessment.
o It is not believed that any shareholder under Utah law would be
subject to any debts, liabilities or claims made against the company.
o Kinship does not have any warrants, rights or other stock interest or
rights to acquire stock; however, management will most likely institute some
standard management stock option plan if this offering is completed.
EXPERTS
-------
Legal Counsel - Kinship has retained the firm of Jensen, Duffin,
Carman, Dibb & Jackson to act as independent securities counsel. Counsel has
passed upon the eligibility of the Company to file this registration. Counsel
has also passed upon the validity of the shares offered by this registration as
being legally issued, fully paid and non-assessable as sold. The named expert
has no relationship with any member of management or Kinship.
Accountants - Kinship has also retained the firm of Hansen, Barnett and
Maxwell as the independent auditors. The audit report of Hansen, Barnett and
Maxwell are included in reliance upon that firm being an expert in auditing
matters.
LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
-----------------
Kinship is not presently engaged in any legal proceedings as either a
plaintiff or defendant, nor does it know of any material claims.
CHANGES IN OR DISAGREEMENTS WITH ACCOUNTANTS
--------------------------------------------
Neither Kinship nor its management has had any disagreement with, nor
have there been any changes in, the accounting materials prepared by such
independent auditors as attached hereto. The Company has retained the same
auditors since inception.
INDEMNITY OF OFFICERS AND DIRECTORS
-----------------------------------
The By-laws and Articles for Kinship provide indemnity statements for
general indemnities and relief from liability for management. These indemnities,
as well as Utah law, provide for general indemnity, including costs of defense
for officers, directors and agents acting within the normal scope of their duty
and service to Kinship.
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities
Act of 1933 (the "Act") may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling
persons of the small business issuer pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or
otherwise, the small business issuer has been advised that in the opinion of the
Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy
as expressed in the Act and is, therefore, unenforceable.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS
To the Board of Directors and Stockholders
Kinship Systems, Inc
We have audited the accompanying balance sheet of Kinship Systems, Inc. (a
development stage enterprise) as of July 31, 2000 and the related statement of
operations, stockholders' equity and cash flows for the period from February 1,
2000 (date of inception) through July 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 audit.
We conducted our audit in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards.
Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable
assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, 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, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in
all material respects, the financial position of Kinship Systems, Inc. as of
July 31, 2000 and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the
period from February 1, 2000 (date of inception) through July 31, 2000 in
conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the
Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 5 to the
financial statements, the Company's lack of operating history raises substantial
doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Management's plans
regarding those matters are also described in Note 5. The financial statements
do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this
uncertainty.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
JULY 31, 2000
NOTE 4 - COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
On March 31, 2000, the Company entered into a lease agreement for use of office
space with a company under common ownership. The owners of the related company
are the majority shareholders of the Company and are also officers and directors
of the Company. The lease was amended to begin on June 1, 2000 with a lease term
of one year. The base monthly rent for the term of the lease shall be $200. The
Company has the right to extend the lease term for up to three additional years.
The Company has entered into an agreement with the president to provide a $1,000
stipend per month that will not accrue until the Company has revenues or until
after six months. After that time, the anticipated salaries for the three full
time officers will be determined by the Board of Directors. For services
performed previous to the Company receiving revenues or the six month time
period, the officers received common stock as compensation. See Note 3.
The Company has plans to complete an SB-1 Registration Statement. As a result of
this offering, the Company will owe $22,000 to various parties who participated
in the filing of the Registration Statement.
NOTE 5 - GOING CONCERN
The Company has limited operating history. This situation raises substantial
doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Management plans to
complete an SB-1 Registration Statement in which the Company will offer a
minimum of 100,000 shares of common stock and a maximum of 200,000 shares of
common stock at $1.00 per share. From the proceeds, the Company plans to use
$17,000 to pay legal counsel that assisted in the offering and $5,000 for other
various offering costs. Management also plans to begin marketing and selling the
Company's products with the proceeds from the offering. The financial statements
do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification
of asset carrying amounts or the amount and classification of liabilities that
might result should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.
NOTE 6 - SOFTWARE LICENSING AGREEMENT
On May 5, 2000, the Company entered into an agreement with a software producer
wherein the Company has the exclusive rights to market and distribute two
accident reconstruction software packages in five westerns states. The Company
is entitled to purchase the product at a 20 percent discount from the prevailing
market price charged by the software producer for identical product.

PART II
Item 1. Indemnification of Officers & Directors. Kinship indicates that
it has normal and customary indemnification provisions under its By-laws and
Articles of Incorporation as well as those generally provided by Utah law. It is

To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being

(i) To include any prospectus required by section
10(a)(3) of the Securities Act of 1933. This
includes:
a. For determining liability under the Securities
Act, the issuer will treat each post-effective
amendment as a new registration statement of the
securities offered, and the offering of the

fide offering.
b. The issuer will file a post-effective amendment
to remove from registration any of the
securities that remain unsold at the end of the

<PAGE>
foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the small
business issuer has been advised that in the opinion
of the Securities and Exchange Commission such
indemnification is against public policy as expressed
in the Act and is, therefore, unenforceable.
