ITEM 1
DESCRIPTION OF THE BUSINESS
General
Diversified Marketing Services, Inc. is filing this Form 10-SB on a voluntary
basis in order to make Diversified Marketing Services' financial information
equally available to any interested parties or investors and meet certain
listing requirements for publicly traded securities on the OTC Electronic
Bulletin Board which is sponsored by the National Association of Securities
Dealers (NASD). The Company anticipates filing an information statement with a
sponsoring NASD Broker-Dealer for listing of its securities on the OTC
Electronic Bulletin Board upon completion of the Company's comment period for
this Form 10-SB filing.
Business Development
Diversified Marketing Services, Inc. was incorporated in Nevada on December 12,
1995 for the purpose of developing third party motor vehicle title and
registration offices in California and throughout the Western United States.
During 1996, the Company raised capital through the sale of common stock to
investors in order to meet its obligations for timely state filings and taxes.
In Management's experience in Southern California, urban economic conditions
such as slow growth and high unemployment beginning in 1991 corresponded with a
reduction in the growth rate of vehicle registrations and transfers through 1996
and induced Management to delay the implementation of its business plan.
Beginning in 1997, Management witnessed a significant improvement in Southern
California's overall vehicle registration business. In December 1998 the board
of directors voted to seek additional capital and implement the Company's
business plan.
There have been no bankruptcy, receivership or similar proceedings.
There have been no material reclassifications, mergers, consolidations, or
purchase or sale of a significant amount of assets not in the ordinary course of
business.
Business of the Issuer
In December 1998, the Company determined it would complete the development of
its third party motor vehicle title and registration services business plan.
These comprehensive services involve all of the responsibilities of a typical
state motor vehicle department office, including providing the urban public
market everything from drivers licenses to the issuance of vehicle license
plates. Management based its decision to proceed with its business plan on three
factors: favorable United States economic growth projections, growth in motor
vehicle registrations in Western states, and legislative changes in Western
states allowing more third party motor vehicle title and registration services.
For over ten years, the state of California has issued licenses to third party
businesses to offer motor vehicle title and registration services normally
handled by the Department of Motor Vehicles.
2
<PAGE> 3
The states of Texas, New Mexico, and Nevada have similar third party state
services programs. Arizona has expanded its third party state services program
to include almost all services previously performed solely by its Motor Vehicle
Division offices, including issuing driver's licenses, written tests, road
tests, vision tests, vehicle titles, plates, tabs, registration, and
inspections. Oregon is scheduled to begin preliminary third party motor vehicle
title and registration services in the year 2000.
Summary of Western States third party vehicle title and registration services

</TABLE>
States have outsourced functions traditionally handled by state bureaucracies in
order to achieve cost savings and provide better service, this competitive model
encourages third party businesses to cut state vehicle and licensing compliance
costs and service customers more efficiently and humanely. Management believes
the Company can help states reduce their vehicle and licensing compliance costs
because the Company's overhead is lower due to smaller offices and staff size.
Management believes it will be able to service customers more efficiently and
humanely due to its employee training and emphasis on treating customers in a
kind and courteous manner. The Company's Management has over ten years
experience in management and administration of third party motor vehicle title
and registration offices in California catering to a target market niche of
urban core customers. That experience also includes handling customer problems
that may arise in third party motor vehicle registration services. Management's
policy is to resolve all service related problems in a way that customers will
perceive as fair to them. Management believes that this problem resolution
technique results in customer satisfaction that benefits the Company as
satisfied customers will be more inclined to refer the Company's services to
their family and associates. Clients are informed that they have the right to
file any complaints directly with the State of California. In over ten years,
management has had no complaints filed with the State.
While the Company has not taken any of the steps listed below, the Company
intends to take the following steps over the first twelve months of the business
plan in order to make its services available in the Western market: raise
capital of $700,000 to $800,000 through the sale of equity securities via a
private placement during months one through six, seek listing on the OTC
Electronic Bulletin Board, open four offices in San Diego County with a budget
of $80,000 for purchase of fixed assets, $120,000 for salaries, and $180,000 for
advertising and other operating expenses during months seven through nine, and
open four offices in Los Angeles County during months ten through twelve with a
budget of $80,000 for purchase of fixed assets, $96,000 for salaries, and
$152,000 for advertising and other operating expenses. During months one through
seven, the Company will register with the State of California to be a third
party vehicle registration provider for all of its California offices. This
process takes approximately sixty days and costs approximately $200 in total
State fees. The process includes securing two bonds per office at a cost of
approximately $500 per office, and a background check of all officers to include
a fingerprint
3
<PAGE> 4
check and financial background review. The license requires a minimum of one
officer of the corporation to take a six month training class, however, the
Company's president already holds a license from the State of California due to
his greater than ten year experience in this business. The only state in which
the Company is presently qualified to offer its services is California. The
president's extensive experience and State approved license are the basis for
Management's belief that the Company will be able to meet its business plan
license requirements in a timely manner. The license granted by the State of
California is state-wide and nonexclusive. It is a perpetual license subject to
State of California daily computer monitoring of license holder transactions,
unscheduled audits, and annual reviews of financial records. Other Western
states have similar license requirements to California's, however, the Company
will not expand into any other state until after its first year of operations.
There were no other material communications with any another state other than a
Company letter to Arizona requesting information regarding their third party
motor vehicle department services program and their response consisting of an
enrollment application and general information. Management plans to expand into
Arizona in year two of its operations. Management believes its experience in
California in handling third party motor vehicle registration services and the
way it emphasizes customer satisfaction in business will be useful in the
Western states it has targeted for business expansion. While each state has
differences in procedures and requirements, Management, through its initial
informal contacts with these states, believes its experience in this type of
business will generally be transferable to these other states. Management has
over ten years experience in marketing directly to its core urban customers
through utilization of multilingual advertising when appropriate, advertising in
small local newspapers, support of local community social organizations,
donations of time and funds to local youth and community service organizations,
and marketing through promotional flyers, discount coupons, and brochures
directly to community residents. Management has not taken any concrete steps to
implement its business plan pending the Company's capital funding through the
sale of equity securities and listing of its securities for trading on the OTC
Electronic Bulletin Board.
The Company has no new product or service planned or announced to the public.
The size and financial strength of the Company's primary competitor, the
Automobile Club of Southern California is substantially greater than those of
the Company. Management is aware the Automobile Club of Southern California has
been providing third party vehicle registration services in excess of the last
ten years, but has no direct knowledge of the total number of years that company
has provided such services in California. Management is aware of other material
competitors in the third party vehicle registration business in California, such
as Payless Registration Services in San Diego and All American Registration
Service in Los Angeles. Management is aware of material competitors in Phoenix,
Arizona such as Arizona Motor Vehicle Title, and in Dallas, Texas such as USA
Auto Titles. Although Management has limited access to in-depth information
regarding the operations of the Company's competitors, Management believes that
the Company can effectively compete because of Management's extensive knowledge
of third party motor vehicle title and registration services in California
gained from over ten years of experience in this business while marketing these
services to urban customers. In Management's experience, these customers use
third party motor vehicle title and registration services instead of State run
motor vehicle offices because it saves them time and, expressed through customer
comments to Management, because they desire to be treated in a kind and
courteous manner. At this time, Management is unable to quantify the exact
amount of time saved by it customers' use of the Company's services compared to
the use of the State's facilities. Management is unaware of any State's plans to
improve its own motor vehicle licensing facilities other than California's
existing program to offer services by appointments only. The Company's
4
<PAGE> 5
service fees will depend upon complexity and time involved in processing and
will normally be in a range from $75 to $150 for registration plus State fees of
$100 to $800, $75 to $150 for title changes plus State fees of $15 to $300, $75
to $200 for title research with no state fees, and $100 to $300 for lien
removals plus State fees of $50. The Company does not plan to market it's
services to rural residents.
Management is not aware of any significant barriers to the Company's entry into
the third party motor vehicle title and registration market, however, the
Company at this time has no market share of this market.
The Company will use state approved supplies, such as driver's licenses, vehicle
registration forms, license plates and tags provided under contract from each
state's motor vehicle licensing department or state licensed suppliers. State
application and information request forms will be delivered to the Company by
overnight delivery services such as FEDEX at a cost of approximately $.25 per
form. State driver's licenses, license plates and tags are available through a
local motor vehicle department location and are stored in an approved safe with
electronic alarm system for security. Management estimates the cost of the safe
and security system to be approximately $1,000.
In California, the Company will use state supplied software and Microsoft Office
software running on an Intel Pentium III system including high speed modem and
printer at a cost of approximately $5,000. This system allows direct access,
with security codes, to the State's mainframe computer system. Arizona requires
similar equipment and software utilizing Microsoft's NT operating system at a
cost of approximately $5,500. While the Company has researched requirements of
the states of California, Texas, New Mexico, Nevada, Arizona, and Oregon
regarding their state approved supplies, at this time the Company has no formal
contracts with any states or state suppliers and will not initiate negotiations
with any states or their potential suppliers until such time as the Company has
sufficient funding per its business plan.
The Company intends to sell its services to a broad base of urban customers
within Southern California during the first year and throughout the Western
United States within three years and will not depend on any one or a few major
customers.
Other than common office materials, the Company will utilize only materials and
supplies designed and mandated by each state. The Company has no current or
future business plans involving patents, trademarks, franchises, concessions,
royalty agreements, or labor contracts.
The Company's business is not subject to material regulation by federal
governmental agencies. With the exception of the state of Texas, the only
governmental approval the Company requires is a license from each state in which
the Company intends to provide its third party motor vehicle title and
registration services. In Texas, the license approval process for the Company's
proposed business is granted in each county by the County Tax Assessor's Office.
The Company's Management personnel are familiar with license requirements for
each state in its business plan and believe the Company will qualify for
necessary licenses in each state and will be able to timely secure licenses in
accordance with the Company's business plan. Management has made informal
inquiries and contact with the responsible motor vehicle departments in each
state in its business plan and will secure California licensing covering each
new Company office beginning in month six of its business plan contingent upon
sufficient funding from the Company's securities sales. Management intends to
secure necessary licenses in each additional state beginning in year two
5
<PAGE> 6
of the Company's business plan.
All research and development costs since inception have been immaterial in cost
and will not be passed on to customers.
The Company's only employees are its two officers who will devote as much time
as the board of directors determines is necessary to manage the affairs of the
Company. The officers intend to work on a full time basis when the Company is
able to provide proper remuneration as discussed in Item 6, "Executive
Compensation".
While Management believes its estimates of projected occurrences and events are
within the timetable of its business plan, there can be no guarantees or
assurances that the results anticipated will occur.
Year 2000 Disclosure
Computer programs that have time-sensitive software may recognize a date using
"00" as the year 1900 rather than the year 2000. This could result in a system
failure or miscalculations causing disruption of normal business activities.
The Company's Management has hands-on familiarity with all of the software that
will be utilized in its business plan and has confirmation from third party
suppliers that its proposed software is certified Year 2000 compatible for all
of its computing requirements. In addition, proposed suppliers of office
equipment for the Company's business plan have confirmed that embedded
technology systems such as micro processors in telephone systems and other
non-computer devices that will be purchased per the Company's business plan are
already Year 2000 compatible. The Company's business plan anticipates dealing
only with one state motor vehicle department in the year 2000, the State of
California's Department of Motor Vehicles. The California Department of Motor
Vehicles has confirmed its computing systems are already Year 2000 compatible.
While the Company has made what it believes to be adequate inquiries of the its
software suppliers and the State of California as to Year 2000 compliance, there
can be no guarantee that the State of California and software suppliers will be
adequately prepared for every possible contingent Year 2000 software problem,
which could have minor or material adverse effects on the Company's results of
operations. In a reasonably likely worst case scenario, the Company may be
temporarily unable to access the State's main frame computer system. The Company
may experience minor or material adverse cash flow effects depending on the
length of time of the reasonably likely worst case scenario. In order to
continue operations, Management may resort to manually preparing documents and
hand delivering these documents to the State motor vehicle department offices
for processing. In the unlikely event the State is unable to access its own main
frame computer system, Management may decide to reduce operations to match the
reduced cash flow from sales or seek additional equity funding. Management's
contingency plan for Year 2000 hardware and software business disruptions
involves manual preparation of registration documents, hand delivery of
documents to State motor vehicle department offices through established contact
personnel at those offices, maintenance of on-site cash drawers for cash
transactions, and a possible reduction of workforce personnel and operating
hours.
The Company currently anticipates purchasing new off-the-shelf Year 2000
compatible software

<PAGE> 7
by December 31, 1999, which is prior to any anticipated impact on its operating
systems. The total cost of this new software is not anticipated to be a material
expense to the Company at this time.
ITEM 2
MANAGEMENTS DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATION
Plan of Operation
The Company's current cash balance is $327. Management believes the current cash
balance is sufficient to fund the current minimum level of operations through
December 1999, however, in order to advance the Company's business plan the
Company must raise capital through the sale of equity securities. To date, the
Company has sold $4,800 in equity securities and used approximately $3,328 for
professional services, $561 for licenses and fees, and $584 for office supplies
and postage. Sales of the Company's equity securities have allowed the Company
to maintain a positive cash flow balance.
During the first twelve months of the Company's business plan, Management
intends to take the following steps to offer its third party motor vehicle title
and registration services in California: raise capital of $700,000 to $800,000
through the sale of equity securities via a private placement during months one
through six, open four offices in San Diego County with a budget of $80,000 for
purchase of fixed assets, $120,000 for salaries, and $180,000 for advertising
and other operating expenses during months seven through nine, and open four
offices in Los Angeles County during months ten through twelve with a budget of
$80,000 for purchase of fixed assets, $96,000 for salaries, and $152,000 for
advertising and other operating expenses. Management has not taken any concrete
steps to implement its business plan pending the Company's capital funding
through the sale of equity securities and listing of its securities for trading
on the OTC Electronic Bulletin Board. After raising capital, Management intends
to utilize its experience in operating third party vehicle title and
registration offices to implement its business plan, hire staff personnel
through personal contacts, rent commercial space in San Diego and Los Angeles
Counties, purchase furniture and equipment, and begin operations. The Company
intends to use its equity capital to fund the Company's business plan as cash
flow from sales is estimated to begin within thirty days after the Company opens
each business office in months seven through twelve. The Company will face
considerable risk in each of its business plan steps, such as difficulty of
renting adequate office facilities within its budget, difficulty of hiring
competent personnel within its budget, difficulty in completing necessary
personnel training within time limits, and a shortfall of funding due to the
Company's inability to raise capital in the equity securities market. If no
funding is received during the next twelve months, the Company will be forced to
rely on its existing cash in the bank and funds loaned by the directors and
officers. The Company's officers and directors have no formal commitments or
arrangements to advance or loan funds to the Company. In such a restricted cash
flow scenario, the Company would be unable to complete its business plan steps,
and would, instead, delay all cash intensive activities. Without necessary cash
flow, the Company would be dormant during the next twelve months, or until such
time as necessary funds could be raised in the equity securities market.
There are no current plans for additional product research and development. The
Company plans to purchase approximately $160,000 in furniture, computers and
software during the next twelve
7
<PAGE> 8
months from proceeds of its equity security sales. The Company's business plan
provides for an increase of thirty two employees during the next twelve months.
Results of Operations
There were no revenues from sales for the period ended September, 1999. The
Company sustained a net loss of $4,473 for the period ended September 30, 1999.
Losses were primarily attributable to professional fees and expenditures for the
operations of the corporation.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
As of September 30, 1999, the Company had $327 cash on hand and in the bank. The
primary costs and operating expenses for the period ended September 30, 1999
were operating expenses of $1145 and professional fees of $3,328.
ITEM 3
DESCRIPTION OF PROPERTY
The Company's principal executive office address is 902 E. 18th Street, National
City, CA 91950. The principal executive office and telephone number are provided
by an officer of the corporation at no cost. Management considers the Company's
current principal office space arrangement adequate for current and short-term
estimated growth.

The Directors and Principal Officers have worked with no remuneration until such
time as the Company receives sufficient revenues necessary to provide proper
salaries to all Officers and compensation for Directors' participation. The
Officers and the Board of Directors have the responsibility to determine the
timing of remuneration for key personnel based upon such factors as positive
cash flow to include stock sales, product sales, estimated cash expenditures,
accounts receivable, accounts payable, notes payable, and a cash balance of not
less than $10,000 at each month end. When positive cash flow reaches $10,000 at
each month end and appears sustainable the board of directors will readdress
compensation for key personnel and enact a plan at that time which will that
benefits the Company as a whole. At this time, management cannot accurately
estimate when sufficient revenues will occur to implement this compensation, or
the exact amount of compensation.
There are no annuity, pension or retirement benefits proposed to be paid to
officers, directors or employees of the Corporation in the event of retirement

CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS
Mr. Carranza received 4,545,000 shares of the Company's common stock for work on
the Company's business plan on March 15, 1999.
Ms. Kruger received for administrative services 10,000 shares of the Company's
common stock on March 15, 1996, an additional 100 shares were issued to her on
March 15, 1998 as a correction to the issuance of stock dated March 15, 1996.
90,900 shares of the Company's common stock were issued to her per a stock split
on December 31, 1998 and an additional 4,444,000 shares were issued to her per a
stock split on February 8, 1999.
The terms of these stock issuances were as fair to the Company, in Management's
opinion, as could have been made with an unaffiliated third party.
Mr. Carranza's work on the Company's business plan was conducted outside of
normal business hours and is considered an immaterial amount of time as this
plan was developed directly from Mr. Carranza's existing business experience. It
is his desire and goal to create a new company with public equity capital
necessary to expand the Company's business plan in California and other Western
States. The officers currently devote an immaterial amount of time to manage the
affairs of the Company. The officers intend to work on a full time basis when
the Company is able to provide proper remuneration as discussed in Item 6,
"Executive Compensation".

The Securities and Exchange Commission has adopted Rule 15g-9 which established
the definition of a "penny stock", for the purposes relevant to the Company, as
any equity security that has a market price of less than $5.00 per share or with
an exercise price of less than $5.00 per share, subject to certain exceptions.
For any transaction involving a penny stock, unless exempt, the rules require:
(I) that a broker or dealer approve a person's account for transactions in penny
stocks; and (ii) the broker or dealer receive from the investor a written
agreement to the transaction, setting forth the identity and quantity of the
penny stock to be purchased. In order to approve a person's account for
