SUBJECT TO COMPLETION, DATED JANUARY 17, 2001
I-TRACK, INC.
2,500,000 UNITS
Prior to this offering of units, there has been no public market for
our common stock. We are conducting an initial public offering of 2,500,000
units, with each unit consisting of one share of common stock and one warrant to
purchase one share of common stock. The shares of common stock and the warrants
may not be separately traded until six months after the date of purchase. Each
warrant entitles the holder to purchase one share of common stock at the
exercise price of $0.50 per share, beginning anytime after the date of purchase
until twelve months after the completion of this offering. We are not required
to sell any specific number or dollar amount of units, but will use our best
efforts to sell the maximum number of units offered. This offering of units will
terminate on the earlier of the date all of the units offered are subscribed for
or ___________________ [90 days from the date of this prospectus]. Please note
that we may extend this date for up to an additional 90 days.
We are conducting a direct participation offering with no minimum
offering and no escrow. Therefore any funds received from a purchaser will be
available to us as received and need not be refunded to the purchaser.
There is no market for our common stock. After completing our
registration statement, we will use our best efforts to have our common stock
traded on the local over-the-counter markets.
THIS INVESTMENT INVOLVES A HIGH DEGREE OF RISK. YOU SHOULD PURCHASE
SHARES ONLY IF YOU CAN AFFORD A COMPLETE LOSS. SEE "RISK FACTORS" ON PAGE 5.
Neither the Securities and Exchange Commission nor any state securities
commission has approved or disapproved these securities, or determined if this
prospectus is truthful or complete. Any representation to the contrary is a
criminal offense.

We cannot sell our units until the registration statement filed with the
Securities and Exchange Commission is effective. This prospectus is not an offer
to sell our units and it is not an offer to buy our units in any state where the
offer or sale is not permitted.

PROSPECTUS SUMMARY
Unless the context otherwise requires, the terms "we," "our," and "us,"
refers to i-Track, Inc.
I-TRACK, INC.
We are a development stage company that was incorporated by AVL
Information Systems Ltd. and its principal officers and directors. AVL
Information Systems Ltd. is a Canadian public company that owns and licenses
certain technology and automatic vehicle location systems. AVL Information
Systems Ltd. has incurred significant operating losses over the past six fiscal
years and has a working capital deficiency which casts doubt upon its ability to
continue as a going concern. AVL Information Systems Ltd. and its principal
officers and directors have incorporated us in an effort to start anew and to
take advantage of what they perceive to be the benefits of a United States
publicly traded company. They believe that a U.S. publicly traded company will
provide a level of credibility in the automatic vehicle location system
industry, access to additional funding in the U.S. markets, and the ability for
us to enter into strategic alliances for the development, manufacturing and sale
of automatic vehicle location systems.
On January 7, 2001, we entered into a non-exclusive worldwide
International Distribution Agreement with AVL Information Systems Ltd. Under the
agreement, we are licensed to market and distribute an automatic vehicle
location system called the Spryte System(TM). The Spryte System(TM) integrates
Global Positioning System technology, cellular-wireless communications and the
Internet to enable companies to efficiently manage their mobile resources with
location-relevant and time-sensitive information. The Spryte System(TM) is
designed to enable customers to use the Internet to track the movement of their
vehicles, employees, and goods and services. While there are several ways to
transmit information from a vehicle to a central location, we believe that the
Spryte System(TM) provides significant value to customers by reducing their
costs of doing business and increasing the productivity of their mobile
resources. At this time, we have not generated any revenues.
THE OFFERING
Securities offered............2,500,000 units, with each unit consisting
of one (1) share of our common stock and one
(1) warrant to purchase one share of our
common stock at a price of $0.50 per share.
Description of the Warrants...The warrants are not transferable separately
from the units until six months after the
date of purchase. Each warrant entitles the
holder to purchase one share of common stock
at a price of $0.50 per share at any time
after the date of purchase until twelve
months after the date of purchase.
Common stock outstanding
before the offering.......18,700,000 shares of common stock (as of
January 17, 2001)
after the offering........21,200,000 shares of common stock.
Warrants outstanding
before the offering.......none
after the offering........2,500,000
Use of Proceeds...............Estimated at $195,000 net of offering
expenses. To be used for general corporate
purposes, including working capital and
capital expenditures.

<PAGE>
DISTRIBUTION
We are acting as the general selling agent in this offering of units.
We intend to enter into agreements with securities broker-dealers who are
members of the NASD so the broker-dealers who are involved in the sale of the
units will be paid a commission of up to ten percent (10%) by us. No
broker-dealer has agreed to participate in this offering as of the date of this
prospectus. The NASD must first approve the arrangements with any broker-dealers
that will participate in the distribution of this offering.
RISK FACTORS
Investing in our units involves a high degree of risk. You should
consider carefully the information under the caption "Risk Factors" in deciding
whether to purchase our units offered under this prospectus.

generally accepted accounting principles in the United States. Our results of
operations for any interim period do not necessarily indicate our results of
operations for the full year. You should read this summary financial data in

RISK FACTORS
Investing in our units involves a high degree of risk. You should be
able to bear a complete loss of your investment. You should carefully consider
the following risk factors and other information in this prospectus before
deciding to invest in our units. The risks and uncertainties described below are
not the only ones we face. Additional risks and uncertainties not presently
known to us or that we currently deem immaterial may also harm our business.
WE HAVE NO OPERATING HISTORY, WHICH MAKES IT DIFFICULT TO EVALUATE YOUR
INVESTMENT IN OUR UNITS.
Your evaluation of our business will be difficult because we have no
operating history. We were incorporated in March 1999 and have not licensed,
developed or sold any products. We face a number of risks encountered by
early-stage companies in the automatic vehicle location industry, including:
o the uncertainty of market acceptance;
o our need to license and/or develop reliable and robust
products and services that meet the demanding needs of
potential customers;
o our need to establish our marketing, sales and support
organizations, as well as our distribution channels;
o our ability to anticipate and respond to market competition;
o our need to manage expanding operations;
o our dependence on wireless and digital carriers; and
o our dependence on technology which could become incompatible
or out of date.
Our business strategy may not be successful, and we may not
successfully address these risks.
WE HAVE INCURRED LOSSES AND EXPECT LOSSES TO CONTINUE FOR AT LEAST THE NEXT
YEAR.
To date, we have not generated any revenues to fund our business and
pay our ongoing expenses. We expect to continue to incur additional losses for
at least the next year. We generated a net loss of $14,973 for the nine months
ended September 30, 2000, and had an accumulated net loss of $18,002 for the
period March 8, 1999 (inception) to September 30, 2000. In order to become
profitable and sustain profitability, we will need to generate significant
revenues to offset our cost of revenues, and sales and marketing, research and
development, and general and administrative expenses. We may never be able to
achieve or sustain our revenue or profit goals.
WE DO NOT GENERATE ANY REVENUES AND WE RELY ENTIRELY UPON OUTSIDE FINANCING.
Because of our inability to generate revenues, we rely entirely upon
external sources of financing. Since our inception in March 1999, we have
financed our operations through the sale of our common stock and by borrowing
from affiliates of our company. We will need additional financing in an amount
that we are unable to determine at this time to continue with our operations and
the development of our business plan. If our plans or assumptions change or are
inaccurate, we may be required to seek financing sooner than anticipated.
Sources of external financing may include:
o short-term loans from affiliates;
o bank borrowings;
o joint ventures; and
5
<PAGE>
o future debt and equity offerings.
We cannot assure you that financing will be available on acceptable
terms, or at all. Any additional financing may result in dilution to our
shareholders, including those people who purchase our units in this offering.
Our failure to obtain external financing will have a material adverse effect on
our results of operations and financial condition. If we cannot obtain external
financing when needed, we may be forced to cease operations and abandon our
business, and you may lose your entire investment.
OUR FUTURE EXISTENCE REMAINS UNCERTAIN.
We have suffered losses from operations, require additional financing,
and just recently entered into a distribution agreement with AVL Information
Systems Ltd. Ultimately we need to generate revenues and attain profitable
operations. These factors raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue
as a going concern. There is no assurance that we will be able to achieve or
sustain profitable operations.
WE RELY ENTIRELY UPON OUR RELATIONSHIP WITH AVL INFORMATION SYSTEMS LTD., OUR
CONTROLLING SHAREHOLDER, WHICH MAKES US VULNERABLE TO CHANGES IN ITS OPERATIONS.
At this time, we rely entirely upon our relationship with AVL
Information Systems Ltd. Our dependence upon AVL Information Systems Ltd. has
made us vulnerable to changes in the operations of AVL Information Systems Ltd.
AVL Information Systems Ltd. has incurred significant operating losses over the
past six fiscal years and has a working capital deficiency which casts doubt
upon its ability to continue as a going concern. The financial position of AVL
Information Systems Ltd. and its prior operating history may have a negative
effect on our intended operations. If we are unable to develop other key
relationships, we may suffer material and adverse consequences. We can give you
no assurance that we will be able to maintain our relationship with AVL
Information Systems Ltd., or that we will be able to develop and maintain other
strategic alliances.
AVL Information Systems Ltd. is a Canadian public company that owns and
licenses certain technology and automatic vehicle location systems. On January
7, 2001, we entered into a non-exclusive worldwide International Distribution
Agreement with AVL Information Systems Ltd. Under the agreement, we are licensed
to market and distribute AVL Information Systems Ltd.'s automatic vehicle
location system called the Spryte System(TM).
AVL Information Systems Ltd. is an affiliate of our company and became
our controlling shareholder by accepting shares of common stock in exchange for
funds advanced. Some of our officers and directors are also officers and
directors of AVL Information Systems Ltd. AVL Information Systems Ltd. and a
common director have provided substantially all funding for our company, and
they are assisting us in discussions with third parties concerning possible
strategic alliances.
WE HAVE ENTERED INTO SEVERAL NON-ARM'S LENGTH TRANSACTIONS WITH OUR
SHAREHOLDERS, OFFICERS AND DIRECTORS, WHICH MAY BE CONSIDERED A CONFLICT OF
INTEREST.
We have issued shares of common stock in exchange for the services of
our promoters, officers and directors. Our determination of the number of shares
issued to them and the price per share was arbitrary and does not necessarily
bear any relationship to the assets, book value or net worth of our company. We
have also accepted several loans from Peter Fisher and AVL Information Systems
Ltd. in exchange for common stock or promises to repay, and we entered into
distribution agreement with AVL Information Systems Ltd. These transactions
could be considered conflicts of interests, and additional conflicts of interest
may arise in the future. A conflict of interest poses the risk that we may enter
into a transaction on terms that would place us in a worse position than if no
conflict existed. Our officers and directors are required by law to act honestly
and in good faith with a view to our best interest and to disclose any interest
which they may have in any project or opportunity of which we are involved.
Although we believe that the transactions were fair to our company, we have no
specific internal policy governing conflicts of interest.
6
<PAGE>
OUR SUCCESS DEPENDS UPON OUR ABILITY TO DEVELOP AND MAINTAIN OTHER STRATEGIC
RELATIONSHIPS.
We are in the development stage of our business and we believe that our
success will depend on our ability to develop and maintain strategic
relationships with key access control and security system vendors, automation
distribution partners, and customers. We believe these relationships are
important in order to license and develop automatic vehicle location systems,
and create our sales, marketing and distribution capabilities. We have no such
relationships at this time, nor do we have any agreements with third parties.
Our only agreement at this time is with AVL Information Systems Ltd. If we are
unable to develop these key relationships and enter into other commercial
agreements, we will suffer material and adverse consequences. Our dependence on
strategic relationships will make us vulnerable to changes in the operations of
those partners.
IF THE SPRYTE SYSTEM(TM) does not DELIVER THE FEATURES AND FUNCTIONALITY
POTENTIAL CUSTOMERS DEMAND, WE WILL BE UNABLE TO ATTRACT OR RETAIN CUSTOMERS.
Our success depends upon our ability to determine the features and
functionality our anticipated customers demand and to license and implement
systems that meet their needs in an efficient manner. We cannot assure you that
we can successfully determine customer requirements or that our future services
will adequately satisfy customer demands. In addition, we may experience
difficulties that could delay or prevent the successful license, development,
introduction or marketing of new systems and system enhancements. If AVL
Information Systems Ltd.cannot effectively license, develop, deploy, maintain
and enhance the Spryte System(TM), our expenses may increase and we may not be
able to recover our costs.
WE DO NOT KNOW IF THE SPRYTE SYSTEM(TM) WILL BE ACCEPTED BY OUR TARGET MARKET.
The commercial success of the automatic vehicle location systems, and
specifically the Spryte System(TM),wll depend upon their acceptance by the
market as a valuable and useful product. We believe that market acceptance will
depend upon several factors, including the establishment of performance
indicators and endorsement by industry leaders. The automatic vehicle location
industry and its associated products are in its infancy, and we are not certain
that our target customers will widely adopt our intended systems. Even if they
do so, they may not choose the Spryte System(TM), because, among other things,
it may be more expensive, complicated and require a significant amount of
technical support. If our target customers do not widely adopt and purchase the
Spryte System(TM), our business, financial condition and operations will be
adversely affected.
WE HAVE NO EXPERIENCE MARKETING THE SPRYTE SYSTEM(TM), OR ANY OTHER AUTOMATIC
VEHICLE LOCATION SYSTEM.
We have no experience in marketing the automatic vehicle location
system designed and developed by AVL Information Systems Ltd. We intend to
market the system through strategic partners, Internet advertising campaigns,
and traditional media advertising campaigns. Given our lack of marketing
experience, our marketing plans may not be effective in selling the system. If
our marketing plans fail and we are unable to develop new plans, we would not be
able to sell the Spryte System(TM) and we may be forced to cease operations.
WE WILL FACE SUBSTANTIAL COMPETITION FROM EXISTING AND POTENTIAL COMPETITORS IN
THE OVERALL LICENSE, DESIGN, MANUFACTURE AND DISTRIBUTION MARKETS.
We will face substantial competition in the overall license, design,
manufacture and distribution markets as well as the technology market. We
believe that customers in our target market choose the services primarily on the
basis of functionality, price, ease of use, quality and geographic coverage. Due
to our small size, it can be assumed that most if not all of our competitors
have significantly greater financial, technical, marketing and other competitive
resources. Our competitors may be able to respond more quickly to new or
emerging technologies and changes in customer requirements than we can. In
addition, our current and potential competitors may bundle their products in a
manner that may discourage users from purchasing our systems. Also, our
competitors and potential competitors have greater name recognition and more
extensive customer bases that could be leveraged, for example, to position
themselves as being more experienced, having better products, and being more
knowledgeable than us. To compete, we may be forced to offer lower prices and
narrow our marketing focus, resulting in reduced revenues, if any.
7
<PAGE>
We will also compete with alternative means of communication between
vehicles and their managers, including wireless telephone, two-way radios and
pagers. In addition, we expect that new competitors will enter the market for
location-relevant wireless information as businesses and consumers increasingly
demand information when they are mobile. Furthermore, the widespread adoption of
industry standards may make it easier for new market entrants or existing
competitors to offer the services we may offer or may offer in the future.
WE MAY ENCOUNTER DIFFICULTIES BY RELYING ON OUR FOREIGN SUPPLIERS AND FOREIGN
MANUFACTURERS.
Under our distribution agreement, we are licensed to market and
distribute certain technology, parts, components and products from AVL
Information Systems Ltd., in Ontario, Canada. The relative value of the United
States dollar against foreign currencies, the imposition of tariffs, import and
export controls, and changes in governmental policies could significantly affect
financial condition.
OUR OFFICERS AND DIRECTORS ARE ONLY DEVOTING A LIMITED TIME TO OUR BUSINESS, AND
THE LOSS OF OUR OFFICERS AND DIRECTORS OR OUR FAILURE TO ATTRACT AND RETAIN
ADDITIONAL PERSONNEL COULD ADVERSELY AFFECT OUR BUSINESS.
Our success depends largely upon the efforts, abilities, and
decision-making of our executive officers and directors. At this time, our
executive officers and directors are only devoting a limited amount of time to
our business. We have no employees. We do not maintain "key-man" life insurance
on any of our executives or directors, and there is no contract in place
assuring their services for any length of time. There can be no assurance that
the services of our executive officers and directors will remain available to us
for any period of time, or that we will be able to enter into employment
contracts with any additional personnel. The loss of any of our executive
officers and directors could, to varying degrees, have an adverse effect on our
operations and systems development. In the event that we should lose key members
of our executive officers or directors, or if we unable to find suitable
replacements, we may not be able to maintain our business and might have to
cease operations, in which case you might lose all of your investment.
SINCE OUR WARRANTS MAY BE EXERCISED ONLY IF THERE IS A CURRENT PROSPECTUS, THEY
COULD BE NO VALUE.
The warrants may be exercised only if a current prospectus relating to
the underlying shares of common stock is then in effect and only if the shares
are qualified for sale or exempt from registration under the securities laws of
the state or states in which the purchaser resides. So long as the warrants are
outstanding, we have undertaken to file all post-effective amendments to the
registration statement required to be filed under the Securities Act of 1933, as
amended, and to take appropriate action under the federal law and the securities
laws of those states where the warrants were initially offered to permit the
issuance and resale of common stock issuable upon exercise of the warrants.
However, there can be no assurance that we will be in a position to effect such
action, and the failure to do so may prevent the exercise of the warrants and
the resale or other disposition of the common stock issued upon the exercise.
UPON COMPLETION OF THIS OFFERING, YOU WILL EXPERIENCE IMMEDIATE AND SUBSTANTIAL
DILUTION IN YOUR INVESTMENT.
The initial public offering price of the shares does not necessarily
bear any relationship to assets, book value or net worth of our company. If you
purchase in this offering, you will suffer immediate and substantial dilution in
your investment, of at least $0.091 per share or approximately 91% of the
offering price of the units.
A LIMITED NUMBER OF STOCKHOLDERS WILL COLLECTIVELY CONTINUE TO OWN A MAJORITY OF
OUR COMMON STOCK AFTER THIS OFFERING AND MAY ACT, OR PREVENT CERTAIN TYPES OF
CORPORATE ACTIONS, TO THE DETRIMENT OF OTHER STOCKHOLDERS.
Even if all of the units offered are sold, our directors, officers and
greater than 5% stockholders will own more than 88% of our outstanding common
stock. Accordingly, these stockholders may, if they act together, exercise
significant influence over all matters requiring stockholder approval, including
the election of a majority of the directors and the determination of significant
corporate actions after this offering. This concentration could also have the
effect of delaying or preventing a change in control that could otherwise be
beneficial to or stockholders.
8
<PAGE>
WE WILL HAVE BROAD DISCRETION IN HOW WE USE THE PROCEEDS FROM THIS OFFERING, AND
OUR USE OF THESE PROCEEDS MAY NOT YIELD A FAVORABLE RETURN.
We intend to use the proceeds from this offering for general corporate
purposes, including implementing our non-exclusive distribution agreement with
AVL Information Systems Ltd.. Accordingly, we will have broad discretion in
using these proceeds. You will not have the opportunity to evaluate the
economic, financial or other information that we may use to determine how we use
these proceeds.
"PENNY STOCK" RULES COULD AFFECT THE SECONDARY MARKET FOR OUR COMMON STOCK AND
MAY AFFECT YOUR ABILITY TO SELL SHARES OF OUR COMMON STOCK.
Assuming that a public market for our common stock develops, which
there can be no assurance, our common stock will be subject to rules promulgated
by the SEC relating to "penny stocks," which apply to non-NASDAQ companies whose
stock trades at less than $5.00 per share or whose tangible net worth is less
than $2,000,000. These rules require brokers who sell "penny stocks" to persons
other than established customers and "accredited investors" to complete certain
documentation, make suitability inquiries of investors, and provide investors
with certain information concerning the risks of trading in the security. These
rules may discourage or restrict the ability of brokers to sell our common stock
and may affect the secondary market for the common stock.
RISKS ASSOCIATED WITH THE AUTOMATIC VEHICLE LOCATION INDUSTRY AND GLOBAL
POSITIONING SYSTEM TECHNOLOGY
THE SPRYTE SYSTEM(TM) DEPENDS ON WIRELESS NETWORKS OWNED AND CONTROLLED BY
OTHERS. IF POTENTIAL CUSTOMERS DO NOT HAVE CONTINUED ACCESS TO SUFFICIENT
CAPACITY ON RELIABLE NETWORKS, WE MAY BE UNABLE TO SELL THE SPRYTE SYSTEM(TM).
Our ability to generate revenues will depend on the ability of wireless
carriers to provide sufficient network capacity, reliability and security to our
anticipated customers. Even where wireless carriers provide coverage to entire
metropolitan areas, there are occasional lapses in coverage due to tall
buildings blocking the transmission of data. This effect could make our intended
systems less reliable and useful, and we may not be able to penetrate our target
market. Our financial condition could be seriously harmed if the wireless
carriers were to increase the prices of their services, or to suffer operational
or technical failures. If wireless carriers do not expand coverage, we may be
unable to offer the Spryte System(TM) to potential customers in those areas.
THE SPRYTE SYSTEM(TM) DEPENDS ON GLOBAL POSITIONING SYSTEM TECHNOLOGY OWNED AND
CONTROLLED BY OTHERS. IF WE ARE UNABLE TO ACCESS GLOBAL POSITIONING TECHNOLOGY
AND SATELLITES, WE WILL BE UNABLE TO DELIVER THE SPRYTE SYSTEM(TM) AND WE WILL
NOT BE ABLE TO GENERATE REVENUES.
The Spryte System(TM) relies on signals from Global Positioning System
satellites built and maintained by the U.S. Department of Defense. Global
Positioning System satellites and their ground support systems are subject to
electronic and mechanical failures and sabotage. If one or more satellites
malfunction, there could be a substantial delay before they are repaired or
replaced, if at all, and the Spryte System(TM) may cease and customer
satisfaction, if any, would suffer. In addition, the U.S. government could
decide not to continue to operate and maintain Global Positioning System
satellites over a long period of time or to charge for the use of the Global
Positioning System. Furthermore, because of ever-increasing commercial
applications of the Global Positioning System, other U.S. government agencies
may become involved in the administration or the regulation of the use of Global
Positioning System signals in the future. If the foregoing factors affect the
Global Positioning System, such as by affecting the availability and pricing of
Global Positioning System technology, our business will suffer.
GLOBAL POSITIONING SYSTEM TECHNOLOGY DEPENDS ON THE USE OF RADIO FREQUENCY
SPECTRUM CONTROLLED BY OTHERS.
Global Positioning System technology is dependent on the use of radio
frequency spectrum. An international organization known as the International
Telecommunications Union controls the assignment of spectrum. If the
International Telecommunications Union reallocates radio frequency spectrum, the
Spryte System(TM) may become less useful or less reliable. This would, in turn,
harm our business. In addition, emissions from mobile satellites and other
equipment using other frequency bands may adversely affect the utility and
reliability of the Spryte System(TM).

THE REPORTING OF INACCURATE LOCATION-RELEVANT INFORMATION COULD CAUSE THE LOSS
OF CUSTOMERS AND EXPOSE US TO LEGAL LIABILITY.
The accurate reporting of location-relevant information is critical to
our potential customers' businesses. If our product fails to accurately report
location-relevant information, we could lose customers, our reputation and
ability to attract new customers could be harmed, and we could be exposed to
legal liability. We do not have insurance adequate to cover losses we may incur
as a result of these inaccuracies.
DEFECTS OR ERRORS IN THE SPRYTE SYSTEM(TM) COULD RESULT IN CANCELLATION OR
DELAYS, WHICH WOULD DAMAGE OUR REPUTATION AND HARM OUR FINANCIAL CONDITION.
Automatic vehicle location systems must quickly keep pace with the
rapidly changing Global Positioning System, wireless communications and Internet
markets. Products and services that address these markets are likely to contain
undetected errors or defects, especially when first introduced or when new
versions are introduced. The Spryte System(TM) may not be free from errors or
defects, which could result in the cancellation or disruption of its services.
This would damage our reputation, and result in lost revenues, diverted
development resources, and increased costs.
GOVERNMENTAL REGULATIONS AND STANDARDS MAY HARM OUR BUSINESS AND COULD INCREASE
OUR COSTS OR REDUCE OUR OPPORTUNITY TO EARN REVENUES.
In addition to regulations applicable to businesses in general, we may
also be subject to direct regulation by governmental agencies, including the
Federal Communications Commission and Department of Defense. These regulations
may impose licensing requirements or safety standards with respect to human
exposure to electromagnetic radiation and signal leakage. A number of
legislative and regulatory proposals under consideration by federal, state,
provincial, local and foreign governmental organizations may lead to laws or
regulations concerning various aspects of the Internet, wireless communications
and Global Positioning Technology, including on-line content, user privacy,
taxation, access charges and liability to third-party activities. Additionally,
it is uncertain how existing laws governing issues such as taxation on the use
of wireless networks, intellectual property, libel, user privacy and property
ownership, will be applied to our services and products. The adoption of new
laws or the application of existing laws may expose us to significant
liabilities and additional operational requirements, which could decrease the
demand for our intended products and increase our cost of doing business.
Wireless carriers who may supply us with airtime are subject to regulation by
the Federal Communications Commission and regulations that affect them could
also increase our costs.

DILUTION
"Dilution" represents the difference between the public offering price
per share of common stock and the adjusted pro forma net tangible book value per
share of common stock immediately after the completion of this offering.
Dilution arises mainly from our arbitrary decision about the offering price per
share of common stock. In this offering, the level of dilution will increase as
a result of our low net tangible book value before this offering.
The following table illustrates the anticipated dilution of a new
investor's equity in a share of common stock at different amounts of success
with this offering, based on our net tangible book value at September 30, 2000:

MARKET FOR COMMON EQUITY AND RELATED STOCKHOLDER MATTERS
Prior to this offering, there has been no public market for our common
stock. An active public market for our common stock may not develop or be
sustained after this offering. If an active market for our common stock does not
develop, the liquidity of your investment may be limited, and the price of our
common stock may decline below its initial public offering price. The initial
public offering price has been determined arbitrarily by us and bears no
relationship to the price that will prevail in the public market..
As of October 30, 2000, there were nine (9) record holders of our
common stock, owning 18,700,000 shares, all of which are restricted and not
free-trading. At this time, none of these shares can be sold under Rule 144 of
the Securities Act of 1933. The holders are entitled to dividends when, and if,
declared by our board of directors.
DIVIDEND POLICY
We have never paid any cash dividends on our common stock and intend to
retain future earnings, if any, to finance the development and expansion of our
business. Our future dividend policy is subject to the discretion of our board
of directors and will depend upon a number of factors, including our future
earnings, capital requirements, and financial condition.
USE OF PROCEEDS
The principal purposes of this offering are to become a U.S. publicly
traded company, and to implement our distribution agreement with AVL Information
Systems Ltd. If we sell all of the units being offered, our net proceeds are
estimated to be $195,000 after the offering expenses estimated at $30,000 and a
10% selling commission on all of the units payable by us. To the extent that we
sell more units without using the services of a placement agent, the net
proceeds will increase. There can be no assurance that we will be able sell any
of the units or receive any proceeds from the offering.
We expect that our cash requirements will exist principally in the
following areas and, based upon the level of success we achieve in this
offering, we anticipate using the proceeds to implement the distribution
agreement as follows:

If we are only able to achieve a minimum level of success in this
offering, we will require additional financing which may include:
o short-term loans from affiliates;
o bank borrowings;
o joint ventures; and
o future debt and equity offerings.
We cannot assure you that financing will be available on acceptable
terms, or at all. Any additional financing may result in dilution to our
shareholders, including those people who purchase our units in this offering.
Our failure to obtain external financing will have a material adverse effect on
our results of operations and financial condition. If we cannot obtain external
financing when needed, we may be forced to cease operations and abandon our
business, and you may lose your entire investment.
The amount and timing of our actual expenditures for each of these
purposes will vary significantly depending on a number of factors, including our
licensing agreements and related development efforts, competition,
marketing and sales activities, and market acceptance. While we have prepared
internal forecasts, we believe that these forecasts, as they apply to periods
extending beyond the next few months, are inherently unreliable and that our
actual cash requirements will differ materially from those we presently
forecast. Our directors have discretion in the allocation and use of the net
proceeds of this offering. Pending such uses, we intend to invest the proceeds
from this offering in short term, investment-grade, and interest bearing
securities.
Our current business plan has identified total capital requirements
over the next several years that are substantially more than the anticipated
offering proceeds. If we are able to sell all of the units, we believe the net
proceeds of this offering will be sufficient to fund our operations for at least
the next twelve months.
SELECTED FINANCIAL DATA
Our selected financial data for the nine month period ended September
30, 2000 shown below is derived from the unaudited financial statements prepared
by us. In our opinion, we have included all adjustments necessary for a fair
statement of results for this interim period and all such adjustments are of a
normal recurring nature. Interim results may not be indicative of the results of
operations to be expected for a full fiscal year.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND/OR PLAN OF OPERATIONS
The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the
financial statements and the related notes included in this prospectus. This
prospectus contains forward-looking statements that involve risks and
uncertainties. Our actual results could differ significantly from those
projected in the forward-looking statements as a result of many factors,

prospectus.
OVERVIEW
We were incorporated in the state of Nevada on March 8, 1999 by AVL
Information Systems Ltd. and its principal officer and directors. AVL
Information Systems Ltd. is a Canadian public company that owns and licenses
certain technology and automatic vehicle location systems. On January 7, 2001,
we entered into a non-exclusive worldwide International Distribution Agreement
with AVL Information Systems Ltd. Under the agreement, we are licensed to market
and distribute an automatic vehicle location system called the Spryte
System(TM). The Spryte System(TM) integrates Global Positioning System
technology, cellular-wireless communications and the Internet to enable
companies to efficiently manage their mobile resources with location-relevant
and time-sensitive information. While there are several ways to transmit
information from a vehicle to a central location, we believe that the Spryte
System(TM) provides significant value to customers by reducing their costs of
doing business and increasing the productivity of their mobile resources.
We are in the development stage and have not generated any revenues. We
have a cumulative net loss of $18,002 through September 30, 2000. We have
suffered losses from operations and require additional financing. , Ultimately
we need to generate revenues and successfully attain profitable operations. The
marketing and distribution of the Spryte System(TM) may take years to complete
and the amount of resulting revenues, if any, is difficult to determine. Our
previous capital needs have been met by equity offerings, and we have issued
common stock in exchange for services rendered and funds advanced by related
parties. These factors raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as
a going concern. There can be no assurance that we will be able to market and
distribute the Spryte System(TM). Even if we are able to market and distribute
the system, there is no assurance that we will be able to generate revenues and
attain profitable operations.
RESULTS FROM OPERATIONS
We have a limited operating history. We incurred a net loss of $14,973
for the nine months ended September 30, 2000, and had a net loss of $3,029 for
the period ended December 31, 1999.
LIQUIDITY AND FINANCIAL CONDITION
For the nine months ended September 30, 2000, the statement of cash
flows reflects net cash used in operating activities of $13,773, which was
offset by net cash provided by financing activities of $29,996. At September 30,
2000, we had cash of $16,694, and a working capital deficit of $1,802. All of
liabilities consist of advances from related parties. Since we have no source of
revenue, our working capital will be depleted by operating expenses and we will
be dependent upon external sources of cash. If we are able to sell all of the
units in this offering, we believe the net proceeds of this offering will be
sufficient to fund our operations for at least the next twelve months.

<PAGE>
PLAN OF OPERATION
At this time, we intend to establish relationships with a number of
other companies to accelerate the implementation of the distribution agreement
and the sale of the Spryte Systems(TM). We believe that our status as a U.S.
publicly traded company will assist us in establishing strategic alliances
because of our perceived level of credibility and access to capital in the U.S.
markets. We intend to create relationships and retain consultants and
contractors with established connections in the telecommunication and
application service provider industries. We forsee that compensation would be
commission based. Depending upon the market acceptance of the Spryte System(TM),
we may hire employees in the forseeable future.
We intend to establish relationships with existing companies engaged in
the automatic vehicle location industry, wireless carriers, manufacturers,
distributors, and Internet companies. We believe that establishing a network of
alliances, while not a small task, can be accomplished in a shorter period of
time and at less cost than building a comparable direct sales infrastructure. It
is our priority to establish a channel partner network in the U.S. and Canada,
and recruit international channel partners as opportunities present themselves.
We expect to generate revenues by selling the Spryte Systems(TM) at
cost plus margin. Under the distribution agreement, all orders are shipped
common carrier FOB destination, and we are required to pay 30% of the total
order price the time of ordering, 30% upon delivery of the order, and 40% within
30 days after installation. We believe the amount of margin will vary depending
on the time, expense, and size of sale. We expect to realize revenues within the
next three months.
We do not expect to purchase any significant equipment during the next
twelve months, nor do we expect to hire a significant number of employees during
that time period. We expect to finance our objectives through the proceeds of
this offering.
BUSINESS
OVERVIEW
We market and distribute the Spryte System(TM) , an automatic vehicle
location system that integrates Global Positioning System technology,
cellular-wireless communications and the Internet to enable companies to
efficiently manage their mobile resources with location-relevant and
time-sensitive information. The management of vehicles and other mobile
resources is complex. We chose the Spryte System(TM) because we believe it is
easy-to-use, cost-effective, and allows customers to efficiently use the
Internet to track the movement of their vehicles, employees, and goods and
services.
INDUSTRY BACKGROUND
GLOBAL POSITIONING SYSTEM TECHNOLOGY. Most location-aware applications
today rely upon Global Positioning System technology. Global Positioning System
technology is based on a system of more than 24 satellites that transmit
longitude, latitude, altitude and time information to Global Positioning System
receiving and processing devices anywhere in the world. Because of improvements
in Global Positioning System receiver technology and reductions in the cost of
Global Positioning System enabling components, there has been a proliferation of
Global Positioning System devices for commercial applications. We believe the
significant areas of growth include vehicle positioning and navigation, mobile
computing devices, and wireless telephones and portable recreational receivers.
Due to the worldwide automotive industry, we expect vehicle location and
navigation to be one of the most promising areas of future deployment of Global
Positioning System technology.
CELLUAR-WIRELESS COMMUNICATIONS. Rapid technology advances in wireless
communications are enabling companies and individuals to efficiently manage
their mobile resources with location-relevant and time-sensitive information.
Wireless communications has grown due to declining usage costs, the
proliferation of wireless telephones and mobile computing devices, expanding
network coverage and the integration of enhanced features
15
<PAGE>
such as voice and text messaging. We believe that as global wireless coverage
increases and broadband wireless transmission technologies are deployed, more
users will be able to access more data over wireless networks, which will
facilitate their access to information and business applications on the
Internet.
INTERNET. The Internet has emerged as a global communications medium to
deliver and share information and to conduct business electronically. The growth
in the number of Internet users has led to the proliferation of information and
services available on the Internet, including e-commerce, e-mail and other
content. Businesses and individuals are using the Internet as a medium for
managing business-critical functions, household items, finances, customer
relationships and communication. We expect businesses and individuals to conduct
an increasing amount of activity over the Internet.
THE SPRYTE SYSTEM(TM)
The Spryte System(TM) is an automatic vehicle location system owned
by AVL Information Systems Ltd. The Spryte System(TM) is designed for the
commercial carrier, and allows a fleet manager, at its base station, to
simultaneously view the location, operational status and event-based indicators
of each fleet vehicle on a digitized computer map display. The information is
displayed in real-time. The platforms of the Spryte System(TM) include a menu of
status indicators which represent the event-based nature of the system. The
status or event-based indicators include a variety of vehicle conditions, such
as the ignition, speed, sirens, emergency lights, excessive speed, collision,
vehicle problems and duress. We believe that event-based indicators will allow a
fleet manager to assemble and adapt its vehicle resources for optimum deployment
as well as respond in a timely manner to delay and unforeseen situations.
The Spryte System(TM) has three software modules: the listener, mapping
and server modules, which collaborate with one another to analyze and present
the status of a vehicle to the fleet manager. The listener module collects data
transmission from various vehicles in a fleet, interprets the information, and
delivers the information to the server module. The mapping module consists of
commercially available software that displays the most current maps of the fleet
manager's area of activity, including roads, highways, street names and address
locations. The mapping module also accommodates map edits and updates, as well
as geographic analyses such as point-to-point distance and distance traveled.
With the assistance of the listener and mapping modules, the server module
displays, in real-time, the location of each vehicle on the map, together with
the current status of the event-based indicators. The Spryte System(TM) also
allows the customer to store and archive the information. This allows a fleet
manager to analyze historical vehicle movement patterns to achieve more
efficient results and/or to use the information to calculate performance
metrics.
The Spryte System(TM) accommodates all three traditional mediums of
communication from a vehicle to the base station: satellite, mobile radio and
cellular. The Spryte System(TM) has the ability to switch automatically from one
medium to another if the signal strength of a medium degrades. We believe the
communication redundancy capability should provide added assurance for our
potential customers.
We believe that the event-based approach will give customers an
advantage over the conventional method of polling each vehicle periodically
according to a routine schedule. We believe the conventional method is cost
prohibitive, ineffective, and fails to report critical events. We believe the
event-based communication uses airtime for data transmission more efficiently,
and will accommodate four times more vehicles than the standard polling
approach. Also, the event-based communication appears to have the ability to
combine polling functions, if needed, with event-based monitoring to meet the
demand of our potential customers.
INTERNATIONAL DISTRIBUTION AGREEMENT WITH AVL INFORMATION SYSTEMS LTD.
We do not own any proprietary or technological right to the Spryte
System(TM). On January 7, 2001, we entered into a worldwide distribution
agreement with AVL Information Systems Ltd. Under the agreement, we are licensed
to market and distribute the Spryte System(TM) for a term of 4 years, with an
automatic option to renew the term for an additional 4 years. The agreement is
non-exclusive, which means that our competitors may have access to the same
technology granted to us. Either party may terminate the agreement by providing
60 day written notice. At this time, we believe our relationship with AVL
Information Systems Ltd. is good and do not foresee any reason to terminate the
agreement.
16
<PAGE>
PROTECTION OF TECHNOLOGY
Under the distribution agreement, we are required to protect the
proprietary information licensed to us. We will rely on a combination of trade
secret, trademark and copyright laws, and nondisclosure and other contractual
agreements.. We intend to enter into nondisclosure agreements with our
employees, consultants, distributors and corporate partners and limit access to
and distribution of all proprietary information. It may be possible for a third
party to misappropriate or infringe on the proprietary information licensed to
us. Third parties may also independently discover or invent competing
technologies or reserve engineer our trade secrets, software or other
technology. In addition, foreign countries may treat the protection of
proprietary rights differently from, and may not protect proprietary rights to
the same extent as, the laws of the U.S. Therefore, the measures we take to
protect the proprietary rights licensed to us may not be adequate.
KEY ALLIANCES AND RELATIONSHIPS
At this time, our only key alliance is with AVL Information Systems
Ltd. AVL Information Systems Ltd. is an affiliate of our company and became our
controlling shareholder by accepting shares of common stock in exchange for
funds advanced. Some of our officers and directors are also officers and
directors of AVL Information Systems Ltd. AVL Information Systems Ltd. and a
common director have provided substantially all of our funding, and they are
assisting us in discussions with third parties concerning possible strategic
alliances.
At this time, we rely entirely upon our relationship with AVL
Information Systems Ltd. and our distribution agreement with AVL Information
Systems Ltd. Our dependence upon AVL Information Systems Ltd. has made us
vulnerable to changes in its operations. AVL Information Systems Ltd. has
incurred significant operating losses over the past six fiscal years and has a
working capital deficiency which casts doubt upon its ability to continue as a
going concern. The financial position of AVL Information Systems Ltd. and its
prior operating history may have a negative effect on our intended operations.
If we are unable to develop other key relationships, we may suffer material and
adverse consequences.
We intend to establish relationships with a number of other companies
to facilitate the implementation of the distribution agreement and to accelerate
the marketing and sale of the Spryte System(TM) We believe that establishing
other strategic relationships will facilitate our business and provide access to
emerging technologies and customers. We intend to establish relationships with
existing companies engaged in the automatic vehicle location industry, wireless
carriers, manufacturers, distributors, and Internet companies. We cannot give
you any assurance that we will be able to develop or maintain other strategic
alliances.
RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT
At this time, we do not develop automatic vehicle location systems and
related technology. We have not spent any money on research and development.
MANUFACTURING
At this time, we do not manufacture the Spryte System(TM) and related
technology.
SALES AND MARKETING
We will market the Spryte Systems(TM) in the U.S. and internationally
to shipping and delivery companies, other fleet operators, rental car companies,
railroad and transportation companies, government agencies and municipalities,
and private motor vehicle owners. We anticipate using marketing activities to
establish and build and our name recognition. We intend to use a variety of
target marketing communications techniques to achieve this, such as public
relations programs, advertising, industry and consumer promotions, Internet
advertising, and co-marketing and co-branding with wireless carriers. We
anticipate achieving our marketing objective by establishing a network of
strategic partners. We may also develop a direct sales force to call on
potential customers with large fleets and work with wireless carrier partners
and independent sales agents to increase our customer base.
17
<PAGE>
COMPETITION
We compete with companies that offer the ability to obtain
location-relevant information about their mobile resources. We also compete with
alternative means of communication between vehicles and their managers or
owners, including wireless telephones, two-way radios, and pagers. We expect
competition to increase.
Within each of our markets, we face competition from public and private
companies as well as our potential customers' in-house design efforts. OmniTRACS
is a service from Qualcomm that uses satellite communications technology to
manage fleets of trucks that travel extended distances between urban areas,
referred to as long-haul trucking. Other potential competitors include wireless
Internet companies, such as Aether Systems, Phone.com and Research in Motion,
companies working on emergency working on emergency-911 solutions, such as
TruePosition, companies with solutions that integrate locations, wireless
communications, and call centers, such as General Motors, and companies that
provide wireless, location-relevant applications such as SignalSoft and At Road
Inc.
We compete primarily on the basis of price, ease of use, functionality,
quality and geographic coverage. Due to our small size, it can be assumed that
most if not all of our competitors have significantly greater financial,
technical, marketing and other competitive resources. Our competitors may be
able to respond more quickly to new or emerging technologies and changes in
customer requirements than we can. In addition, our current and potential
competitors may bundle their products in a manner that may discourage users from
purchasing our products. Also, our competitors and potential competitors may
have greater name recognition and more extensive customer bases that could be
leveraged, for example, to position themselves as being more experienced, having
better products, and being more knowledgeable than us. To compete, we may be
forced to offer lower prices and narrow our marketing focus, resulting in
reduced revenues, if any.
EMPLOYEES
We have no employees as of the date of this prospectus. We intend to
implement the distribution agreement with AVL Information Systems Ltd. through
the services of our officers and directors, and by retaining consultants and
independent contractors. We intend to create relationships and retain
consultants and contractors with established connections in the
telecommunication and application service provider industries. We foresee that
compensation would be commission based. Depending upon the market acceptance of
the Spryte System(TM), we may hire employees in the foreseeable future.
FACILITIES
Our principal offices are located at 3031 Commerce Drive, Building B,
Fort Gratiot, Michigan 48058. Under an oral agreement, we are occupying these
offices on a "rent-free" basis from our affiliate, AVL Information Systems Ltd.
We intend to enter into a written sub-lease agreement with AVL Information
Systems Ltd. within the next few months. We believe that our current facilities
are adequate to meet our needs at this time.
LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
There are no legal proceedings pending and, to the best of our
knowledge, there are no legal proceedings contemplated or threatened.

CHANGES IN CONTROL

INTEREST OF MANAGEMENT AND OTHERS IN CERTAIN TRANSACTIONS
AVL INFORMATION SYSTEMS LTD. AVL Information Systems Ltd., Ontario,
Canada, is a Canadian public company that owns and licenses certain technology
and automatic vehicle location systems. AVL Information Systems Ltd. is our
controlling shareholder.
On March 20, 2000, AVL Information Systems Ltd. advanced $15,000 for
working capital. On August 2, 2000, we repaid AVL Information Systems Ltd. by
issuing 15,000,000 shares of common stock at $0.001 per share. The price per
share was determined arbitrarily by us and did not necessarily bear any
relationship to the assets, book value or net worth of our company.
Under an oral agreement, we are occupying our principal offices on a
"rent-free" basis from AVL Information Systems Ltd. We intend to enter into a
written sub-lease agreement with AVL Information Systems Ltd. within the next
few months.
Peter Fisher, an officer and director of our company, is also an
officer and director of AVL Information Systems Ltd. Tyler Fisher, a relative of
Peter Fisher and a shareholder of our company, is a director of AVL Information
Systems Ltd. Bernd Luwe, an officer of our company, is also an officer of AVL
Information Systems Ltd. Peter Fisher owns approximately 22.6% of the
outstanding shares of AVL Information Systems Ltd., and is the controlling
principal of that company. Mr. Luwe owns approximately 2% of the outstanding
shares.
AVL Information Systems Ltd. and Peter Fisher have provided
substantially all of our funding, and they are assisting us in discussions with
third parties concerning possible strategic alliances. At this time, we rely
entirely upon our relationship with AVL Information Systems Ltd. Our dependence
upon AVL Information Systems Ltd. has made us vulnerable to changes in the
operations of AVL Information Systems Ltd. If we are unable to develop other key
relationships or fail to maintain and enhance our existing relationship with AVL
Information Systems Ltd., we will suffer material and adverse consequences.
On January 7, 2001, we entered into a non-exclusive worldwide
distribution agreement with AVL Information Systems Ltd. We believe that the
terms and conditions of this license agreement is consistent with industry
standards. Since this license agreement is non-exclusive, our competitors may
have access to the same technology.
PETER W. FISHER. On April 26, 1999, Mr. Fisher advanced $3,500 as an
operating advance. There are no written terms or conditions for repayment, and
the loan is without interest.
On March 20, 2000, Mr. Fisher advanced $15,000 for working capital. On
August 2, 2000, we signed a promissory note to repay Mr. Fisher by March 31,
2001. Under the promissory note, we are not required to pay interest on the
money and we may prepay Mr. Fisher in whole or in part at any time prior to
March 31, 2001, without penalty.
On April 26, 2000, we issued 750,000 shares of common stock to Mr.
Fisher, at a price of $0.001 per share, in exchange for services valued at $750.
There was no written agreement between ourselves and Peter Fisher, and the price
per share was determined arbitrarily by us and did not necessarily bear any
relationship to the assets, book value or net worth of our company.

DESCRIPTION OF SECURITIES
GENERAL
We are authorized to issue of up to 50,000,000 common shares, $0.001
par value per share, and 1,000,000 preferred shares, $0.01 par value per share.
The following summary does not purport to be complete. You may wish to refer to
our articles of incorporation and bylaws, copies of which are available for
inspection.
PREFERRED STOCK
Our articles of incorporation authorize our board of directors to
issue, by resolution, 1,000,000 shares of preferred stock, in classes or series,
having such designations, powers, preferences, rights, and limitations as the
board of directors may from time to time determine. As of the date of this
prospectus, no classes of preferred stock have been designated and no shares
have been issued.
COMMON STOCK
As of January 17, 2001, there were 18,700,000 shares of common stock
issued and outstanding. Our board of directors may issue additional shares of
common stock without the consent of the common stockholders.
VOTING RIGHTS. Each outstanding share of common stock is entitled to
one vote. The common stockholders do not have cumulative voting rights, which
means that the holders of more than 50% of such outstanding shares voting for
the election of directors can elect all of the directors to be elected, if they
so choose.
NO PREEMPTIVE RIGHTS. Holders of common stock are not entitled to any
preemptive rights.
DIVIDENDS AND DISTRIBUTIONS. Holders of common stock are entitled to
receive such dividends as may be declared by our directors out of funds legally
available for dividends and to share pro rata in any distributions to holders of
common stock upon liquidation or otherwise. However, we have never paid cash
dividends on our common stock, and do not expect to pay such dividends in the
foreseeable future.
WARRANTS
Our warrants will be issued in registered form under, governed by, and
subject to the terms of a warrant agreement. The following statements are brief
summaries of certain provisions of the warrant agreement. A copy of a warrant
agreement may be obtained from us and has been filed with the Securities and
Exchange Commission as an exhibit to this registration statement of which this
prospectus is a part.
Each warrant entitles the holder to purchase one share of common stock
at a price of $0.50 per share at any time after the warrant is purchased until
twelve months after the completion of this offering. The warrants may not be
separately traded until six months after the date of purchase. The warrants
contain provisions that protect the warrant holders against dilution by
adjustment of the exercise price in certain events including stock dividends,
split, reverse split or recapitalization. A warrant holder will not possess any
rights as a stockholder of us. The shares of common stock, when issued upon the
exercise of the warrants in accordance with the terms of the warrant agreement,
will be fully paid and non-assessable.
23
<PAGE>
The warrants may be exercised only if a current prospectus relating to
the underlying shares of common stock is then in effect and only if the shares
are qualified for sale or exempt from registration under the securities laws of
the state or states in which the purchaser resides. So long as the warrants are
outstanding, we have undertaken to file all post-effective amendments to the
registration statement required to be filed under the Securities Act of 1933, as
amended, and to take appropriate action under the federal law and the securities
laws of those states where the warrants were initially offered to permit the
issuance and resale of common stock issuable upon exercise of the warrants.
However, there can be no assurance that we will be in a position to effect such
action, and the failure to do so may cause the exercise of the warrants and the
resale or other disposition of the common stock issued upon the exercise to be
unlawful.
TRANSFER AGENT
The registrar and transfer agent for our common stock is Computershare
Trust Company, Inc., 12039 West Alameda Parkway, Suite Z-2, Lakewood, Colorado
80228.
PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION
GENERAL
We are conducting a direct participation offering with no minimum. We
are acting as the general selling agent with respect to the units being offered
at a price of $0.10 per unit. We intend to enter into agreements with securities
broker-dealers, who are members of the NASD, so that broker-dealers who will be
involved in the sale of the units will be paid a commission of up to ten percent
by us. No broker-dealer has agreed to participate in this offering as of the
date of this prospectus. The NASD must first approve the arrangements with any
broker-dealers that will participate in the distribution of this offering. In
addition, Peter Fisher, one of our officers and directors, may also be involved
in the sale of the units but will not receive any sales commission or other
remuneration. This distribution will not involve any reallocations between NASD
members and non-members. We do not intend to register as a broker-dealer under
Section 15 of the Exchange Act. Section 15 requires persons "in the business" of
selling securities to register as broker-dealers. We do not believe that we are
"in the business" of selling securities.
We may provide any sales agent or broker-dealer with a list of persons
whom we believe may be interested in purchasing units in this offering. The
sales agent or broker-dealer may sell a portion of the units to any such person
if he resides in a state where the units can be sold and where the sales agent
or broker-dealer can sell the units. No sales agent or broker-dealer is
obligated to sell any units to any such person and will do so only to the extent
that such sales would not be inconsistent with the public distribution of the
units. We are unaware of any person, including any affiliate, who intends to
finance any portion of the purchase price of the units to be acquired in this
offering. It is not intended that the proceeds from this offering will be used,
directly or indirectly, to enable anyone to purchase units.
In addition, we may offer these units to Peter Fisher as repayment of
our debt at $0.10 per unit.
METHOD OF SUBSCRIBING
You may subscribe by completing and delivering our form of subscription
agreement to us. The subscription price of $0.10 per unit must be paid by check,
bank draft, or postal or express money order payable in United States dollars to
the order of i-Track, Inc. Certificates for shares of common stock and warrants
subscribed for will be issued as soon as practicable after termination of the
offering.
EXPIRATION DATE
The subscription offer will expire _______________________ [90 days
from the date of this prospectus] which period may be extended for an additional
90 days, or on such earlier date as we shall determine in our discretion.
24
<PAGE>
RIGHT TO REJECT
We reserve the right to reject any subscription in our sole discretion
and to withdraw this offer at any time prior to our acceptance of the
subscriptions received, if acceptance of a subscription would result in the
violation of any laws to which we are subject.
NO ESCROW
We have not established an escrow account and we are employing the
funds as they are being raised. THIS OFFERING IS NOT SUBJECT TO ANY MINIMUM
SUBSCRIPTION LEVEL, AND THEREFORE ANY FUNDS RECEIVED FROM A PURCHASER ARE
AVAILABLE TO US AND NEED NOT BE REFUNDED TO THE PURCHASER.
SEC POSITION ON INDEMNIFICATION
As permitted by Nevada law, our articles of incorporation includes a
provision which provides that a director of our company shall not be personally
liable to us or our stockholders for monetary damages for a breach of fiduciary
duty as a director, except:
(i) for any breach of the director's duty of loyalty to us or our
stockholders;
(ii) for acts or omissions not in good faith or that involve
intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of the law;
(iii) under the General Corporation Law of the State of Nevada, which
prohibits the unlawful payment of dividends or the unlawful repurchase or
redemption of stock; or
(iv) for any transaction from which the director derives an improper
personal benefit.
This provision is intended to afford directors protection against, and to limit
their potential liability for monetary damages resulting from, suits alleging a
breach of the duty of care by a director.
The provisions diminish the potential rights of action which might
otherwise be available to our shareholders by limiting the liability of officers
and directors to the maximum extent allowable under Nevada law and by affording
indemnification against most damages and settlement amounts paid by a director
of us in connection with any shareholders derivative action. However, the
provisions do not have the effect of limiting the right of a shareholder to
enjoin a director from taking actions in breach of his fiduciary duty, or to
cause us to rescind actions already taken, although as a practical matter courts
may be unwilling to grant such equitable remedies in circumstances in which such
actions have already been taken. Also, because we do not presently have
directors liability insurance and because there is no assurance that we will
procure such insurance or that if such insurance is procured it will provide
coverage to the extent directors would be indemnified under the provisions, we
may be forced to bear a portion or all of the cost of the director's claims for
indemnification under such provisions. If we are forced to bear the costs for
indemnification, the value of our common stock may be adversely affected. In the
opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission, indemnification for
liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 is contrary to public
policy and, therefore, is unenforceable.
LEGAL MATTERS
Dill Dill Carr Stonbraker & Hutchings, P.C., Denver, Colorado will pass
upon the validity of the units offered by i-Track, Inc.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
DECEMBER 31, 1999
Note 1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Organization
i-Track, Inc. (formerly AVL SYS International, Inc.), "the Company was
incorporated under the laws of the state of Nevada on March 8, 1999.
Revenue Recognition
The Company recognizes revenue when its products are delivered or services are
provided.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
The Company considers all highly liquid investments with an original maturity of
three months or less to be cash equivalents.
Financial Instruments
Fair value estimates discussed herein are based upon certain marke assumptions
and pertinent information available to management as of December 31, 1999. The
respective carrying value of certain on-balance-sheet financial instruments
approximated their fair values. These financial instruments include cash and
advances payable. Fair values were assumed to approximate carrying values for
these financial instruments because they are short term in nature and their
carrying amounts approximate fair values or they are receivable or payable on
demand.
Long Lived Assets
The carrying value of long lived assets is reviewed on a regular basis for the
existence of facts and circumstances that suggest impairment. To date, no such
impairment has been indicated. Should there be an impairment in the future, the
Company will measure the amount of the impairment based on the undiscounted
expected futur cash flows from the impaired assets.
Net Income (Loss) per Common Share
The Company calculates net income (loss) per share as required by SFAS No. 128,
"Earnings per Share." Basic earnings (loss) per share is calculated by dividing
net income (loss) by the weighted average number of common shares outstandin for
the period. Diluted earnings (loss) per share is calculated by dividing net
income (loss) by the weighted average number of common shares

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
DECEMBER 31, 1999
Note 1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
Net Income (Loss) per Common Share (continued)
and dilutive common stock equivalents outstanding. During the periods presented
common stock equivalents were not considered as their effect would be
anti-dilutive.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that
affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes.
Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Segment Information
The Company follows SFAS No. 131, Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise
and Related Information." Certain information is disclosed, per SFAS No. 131,
based on the way management organizes financial information for making operating
decisions and assessing performance. The Company currently operates in a single
segment and will evaluate additional segment disclosure requirements as it
expands its operations.
Income Taxes
The Company follows Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 109,
"Accounting for Income Taxes" ("SFAS No. 109") for recording the provision for
income taxes. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are computed based upon the
difference between the financial statement and income tax basis of assets and
liabilities using th enacted marginal tax rate applicable when the related asset
or liability is expected to be realized or settled. Deferred income tax expenses
or benefits are based on the changes in the asset or liability each period. If
available evidence suggests that it is more likely tha not that some portion or
all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized, a valuation allowance is
required to reduce the deferred tax assets to the amount that is more likely
than no to be realized. Future changes in such valuation allowance are included
in the provision for deferred income taxes in the period of change.
Recent Pronouncements
The FASB recently issued Statement No 137, "Accounting for Derivative
Instruments and Hedging Activities-Deferral of Effective Date of FASB Statement
No. 133". The Statement defers for one year the effective date of FASB Note 1.

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
Recent Pronouncements (continued)
Statement No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging
Activities". The rule now will apply to all fiscal quarters of all fiscal years
beginning after June 15, 2000. In June 1998, the FASB issued SFAS No. 133,
"Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities," which is
required to be adopted in years beginning after June 15, 1999. The Statement
permits early adoption as of the beginning of any fisca quarter after its
issuance. The Statement will require the Company to recognize all derivatives on
the balance sheet at fair value. Derivatives that are not hedges must be
adjusted to fair value through income. If the derivative is a hedge, depending
on the nature of the hedge, changes in the fair value of derivatives will either
be offset against the change in fair value of the hedged assets, liabilities, or
firm commitments through earnings or recognized in other comprehensive income
until the hedged item is recognized in earnings. The ineffective portion of a
derivative's change in fair value will b immediately recognized in earnings. The
Company has not yet determined if it will early adopt and what the effect of
SFAS No. 133 will be on the earnings and financial position of the Company.
During 1999, the Company did not participate in any hedging activities.
Note 2. STOCKHOLDERS' (DEFICIT)
The Company did not issued any common or preferred shares during the period
presented.
On April 26, 2000 the Company issued 1,200,000 shares of common stock to its
founders in exchange for services related to corporate organizational
activities, valued at $1,200 which management believes is the fair value of the
services provided.
During August and September 2000, the Company issued 15,000,000 shares of common
stock to repay a $15,000 operating advance to a related party and 2,500,000
shares of common stock in exchange for a receivable in the amount of $2,500.
Since the common shares described above have been issued for nominal
consideration they have been considered outstanding for the historical period
presented in the computation of earnings per share.

Note 3. INCOME TAXES
The Company accounts for income taxes under Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards No. 109 (FAS 109), "Accounting for Income Taxes", which requires use
of the liability method. FAS 109 provides that deferred tax assets and
liabilities are recorde based on the differences between the tax bases of assets
and liabilities and their carryin amounts for financial reporting purposes,
referred to as temporary differences. Deferred tax assets and liabilities at the
end of each period are determined using the currently enacted tax rates applied
to taxable income in the periods in which the deferred tax assets and
liabilities are expected to be settled or realized.
The provision for income taxes differs from the amount computed by applying the
statutory federal income tax rate to income before provision for income taxes.
The sources and tax effects of the differences are as follows:
Income tax provision at
the federal statutory rate 34 %.
Effect of operating losses (34)%

relating to the operating loss carryforward has been fully reserved at December
31, 1999.

(1) File, during any period in which it offers or sells
securities, a post-effective amendment to this registration
statement to:
(i) Include any prospectus required by section 10(a)(3)
of the Securities Act;
(ii) Reflect in the prospectus any facts or events which,
individually or together, represent a fundamental
change in the information in the registration
statement; and notwithstanding the foregoing, any
increase or decrease in volume of securities offered
(if the total dollar value of securities offered (if
the total dollar value of securities offered would
not exceed that which was registered) and any
deviation from the low or high end of the estimated
maximum offering range may be reflected in the form
of prospectus filed with the Commission pursuant to
Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in the
volume and price represent no more than a 20% change
in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in
the "Calculation of Registration Fee" table in the
effective registration statement.
(iii) Include any additional or changed material
information on the plan of distribution.
(2) For determining liability under the Securities Act, treat each

II-1
<PAGE>
(3) File a post-effective amendment to remove from registration
any of the securities that remain unsold at the end of the
offering.
(B) 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.
In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities

incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the
small business issuer in the successful defense of any action, suit or
proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person
in connection with the securities being registered, the small business
issuer will, unless in the opinion of counsel the matter has been
settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate
jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against
public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed
by the final adjudication of such issue.
