PROSPECTUS SUMMARY
The following summary is qualified in its entirety by reference to the
detailed information and consolidated financial statements, including the
notes thereto, appearing elsewhere in this prospectus. Each prospective
investor is urged to read this prospectus in its entirety, and particularly
the information set forth in "RISK FACTORS."
The Company
Officer Managers, Inc., intends to create a comprehensive online
vertical portal devoted exclusively to office managers. We will develop a
new and innovative site offering valuable services, and products, that will
differentiate us from the many online e-commerce sites selling office
products. Our approach will combine traditional professional service
referrals, customer service and office products with the cost effective
online medium. Our system will include:
- A national network of reliable, qualified professional service
providers in the areas of credit, collections and financing.
- A personalized, professional customer service department to
interact with, provide referrals to, and address the problems of
office managers.
- Automated online sales of business products in over ten different
categories including, office supplies, computer hardware and
software and furniture.
- Access to secure current national, international, and industry
news.
- Online advertising.
To date, we are still designing our online vertical portal and
developing our network of professionals. We have not yet received any
revenues from our intended operations, nor have we otherwise engaged in any
business operations.
The Offering
Securities Offered: Minimum of 2,000,000 units and a maximum of 6,000,000
units. Each unit consists of one share of common
stock, one "A" Warrant to purchase an additional share
of common stock for $.50 within one year of the date of
purchase and one "B" Warrant to purchase an additional
share of common stock for $1.20 within five years of
the date of purchase. The common stock sold in the
units and the common stock underlying both the "A" and
"B" warrants has a par value of $.001.
Offering Price: $0.10 per unit.
Escrow Agent: Brighton Bank, 311 South State Street, Salt Lake City,
Utah 84111.

Summary of Selected We are a development stage company and have had no
revenues or Financial Data: earnings from operations.
As of October 31, 2000, our financial data is as
follows:
Total Assets $ 90,313
Total Liabilities $ 2,000
Shareholder Equity $ 88,313
Net Tangible Book Value $ 88,313
Net Tangible Book Value per Share $ .003
RISK FACTORS
AN INVESTMENT IN THE UNITS OFFERED HEREBY INVOLVES A HIGH DEGREE OF
RISK. YOU SHOULD CAREFULLY CONSIDER THE FOLLOWING RISK FACTORS, IN
ADDITION TO THE OTHER INFORMATION SET FORTH ELSEWHERE IN THIS PROSPECTUS,
INCLUDING THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND NOTES, PRIOR TO MAKING AN INVESTMENT
IN OFFICE MANAGERS.
WE HAVE NO OPERATING HISTORY AND EXPECT TO INCUR LOSSES FOR THE
FORESEEABLE FUTURE. We were founded in September 2000, and have no
operating history. We expect to incur losses for the foreseeable future
due to additional costs and expenses related to:
. the implementation of our business model;
. brand development, marketing and other promotional activities;
. the development of our service and product offerings;
. the continued development of our website, transaction processing
systems and network infrastructure; and
. the development of strategic relationships.
Moreover, you should consider our prospects in light of the risks and
difficulties frequently encountered by early stage companies. These risks
include, but are not limited to, an unpredictable business environment, the
difficulty of managing growth and the use of our business model. To
address these risks, we must, among other things:
. create a customer base;
. develop a referral network;
. enhance our brand recognition;
. access sufficient product inventory to fulfill our customers'
orders;
. implement our business and marketing strategy;
. provide superior customer service and order processing;
. respond effectively to competitive and technological developments;
and
. attract and retain qualified personnel.
OUR GROWTH AND OPERATING RESULTS COULD BE IMPAIRED IF WE ARE UNABLE TO
MEET OUR FUTURE CAPITAL NEEDS. Based on our current operating plan, we
anticipate that the net proceeds of this offering if the maximum number of
units is sold, will be sufficient to satisfy our anticipated needs for
working capital and capital expenditures for at least the next twelve
months. After that time, we may need additional capital. If, however,
only the minimum number of units is sold, we most likely will not have
sufficient funds to even begin scaled down operations and will likely need
to seek additional funding to commence operations. Also, we may need to
raise additional funds sooner to:
6
</Page>
<PAGE>
. create our referral network;
. fund more rapid expansion;
. develop enhanced services or product lines; or
. respond to competitive pressures.
If we raise additional funds by issuing equity or convertible debt
securities, the percentage ownership of our stockholders will be diluted.
Furthermore, any new securities could have rights, preferences and
privileges senior to those of our common stock. We currently do not have
any commitments for additional financing. We cannot be certain that
additional financing will be available when and to the extent required, or
that, if available, it will be on acceptable terms. If adequate funds are
not available on acceptable terms, we may not be able to fund our
operations, expansions, develop and enhance our services and products or
respond to competitive pressures.
WE WILL BE DEPENDENT ON THIRD PARTY PROVIDERS TO FULFILL A NUMBER OF
OUR RETAIL FUNCTIONS. If these parties are unwilling or unable to provide
services to us, our business could be seriously harmed. We will be
dependent on third party providers to provide professional services, sell
products, provide content, process orders, distribute and fill orders,
manage inventory, and distribute products to our customers in a timely
manner. We do not currently have any agreements with any third parties to
provide any of these services. If we do not develop relationships with
necessary providers on acceptable commercial terms, we may not be able to
implement our business plan. Moreover, if we cannot negotiate acceptable
terms, customers may refuse to use our referral services or purchase
products.
We will rely on distributors to fulfill a number of traditional retail
functions, including maintaining inventory and preparing merchandise for
shipment to customers. We may not be able to negotiate agreements with
vendors willing to provide these services at competitive rates. Moreover,
we will have no effective means to ensure that our providers will continue
to perform these services to our satisfaction. Our customers could become
dissatisfied and cancel their orders or they may decline to make future
purchases if we or our providers are unable to deliver products on a timely
basis. If our customers become dissatisfied with our distributors and
third party service providers, our reputation and the officemanagers.net
brand could suffer.
Our operations will be dependent upon a number of third parties for
products and support, credit card processing, and hosting our system
infrastructure and database servers. In addition, we anticipate our
distributors and fulfillment providers will use United Parcel Service,
Federal Express and the United States Postal Service to deliver
substantially all of the products we sell. If the services of any of these
third parties becomes unsatisfactory, our customers may experience lengthy
delays in receiving their orders, and we may not be able to find a suitable
replacement on a timely basis or on commercially reasonable terms.

<PAGE>
SYSTEM FAILURES COULD PREVENT ACCESS TO OUR WEBSITE AND HARM OUR
BUSINESS AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS. Our sales would decline and we could
lose potential customers if they are not able to access our website or if
our website, transaction processing systems or network infrastructure do
not perform to our customers' satisfaction. Any network interruptions or
problems with our website could:
. prevent customers from accessing our site;
. reduce our ability to provide referrals;
. reduce the number of products that we sell;
. cause customer dissatisfaction; or
. damage our reputation.
We anticipate our systems and operations will be vulnerable to damage
or interruption from a number of sources, including fire, flood, power
loss, telecommunications failure, physical and electronic break-ins,
earthquakes and other similar events. We believe our servers will also be
vulnerable to computer viruses, physical or electronic break-ins and
similar disruptions. Any substantial disruption of this sort could
completely impair our ability to generate revenues from our website. We do
not presently have a formal disaster recovery plan in effect and do not
carry sufficient business interruption insurance to compensate us for
losses that could occur.
ONLINE SECURITY RISKS COULD SERIOUSLY HARM OUR BUSINESS. A
significant barrier to e-commerce and online communications is the secure
transmission of confidential information over public networks. Anyone who
is able to circumvent our security measures could misappropriate
proprietary information or cause interruptions in our operations. We may
be required to expend significant capital and other resources to protect
against potential security breaches or to alleviate problems caused by any
breach. We will rely on licensed encryption and authentication technology
to provide the security and authentication necessary for secure
transmission of confidential information, including credit card numbers.
Advances in computer capabilities, new discoveries in the field of
cryptography, or other events or developments may result in a compromise or
breach of the algorithms that are used to protect customer transaction
data. In the event someone is able to circumvent security measures, it
could seriously harm our business and reputation, and we could lose
customers. Security breaches could also expose us to a risk of loss or
litigation and possible liability for failing to secure confidential
customer information.
OUR OPERATING RESULTS COULD BE IMPAIRED IF WE BECOME SUBJECT TO
BURDENSOME GOVERNMENT REGULATIONS AND LEGAL UNCERTAINTIES CONCERNING THE
INTERNET. Due to the increasing popularity and use of the internet, it is
possible that a number of laws and regulations may be adopted with respect
to the internet relating to:
. user privacy;
. pricing, usage fees and taxes;
. content;
. copyrights;
. distribution;
. characteristics and quality of products and services; and
. online advertising and marketing.
8
</Page>
<PAGE>
The adoption of additional laws or regulations may decrease the
popularity or impede the expansion of the internet and could seriously harm
our business. A decline in the popularity or growth of the internet could
decrease demand for our services and products, reduce our margins and
increase our cost of doing business. Moreover, the applicability of
existing laws to the internet is uncertain with regard to many important
issues, including property ownership, intellectual property, export of
encryption technology, libel and personal privacy. The application of laws
and regulations from jurisdictions whose laws do not currently apply to our
business, or the application of existing laws and regulations to the
internet and other online services, could also harm our business.
THE SUCCESS OF OUR BUSINESS DEPENDS ON THE CONTINUED GROWTH OF THE
INTERNET AS A VIABLE COMMERCIAL MARKETPLACE. Our success depends upon the
widespread acceptance of the internet as a vehicle to purchase services and
products. The e-commerce market is at an early stage of development, and
demand and continued market acceptance is uncertain. We cannot predict the
extent to which customers will shift their purchasing habits from
traditional to online retailers. If customers, service providers or
manufacturers are unwilling to use the internet to conduct business and
exchange information, our business will fail. It is possible that the
internet may not become a viable long-term commercial marketplace due to
the potentially inadequate development of the necessary network
infrastructure, the delayed development of enabling technologies and
performance improvements and the high cost of shipping products. The
commercial acceptance and use of the internet may not continue to develop
at historical rates, or may not develop as quickly as we expect. In
addition, concerns over security and privacy may inhibit the growth of the
internet.
THE LIMITED MARKET FOR OUR SHARES WILL MAKE OUR PRICE MORE VOLATILE.
The market for our common stock is very limited and we can not assure you
that a larger market will ever be developed or maintained. The market for
our common stock is likely to be volatile and many factors may affect the
market. These include, for example:
. our success, or lack of success, in marketing our products and
services;
. competition;
. governmental regulations; and
. fluctuations in operating results.
The stock markets generally have experienced, and will likely continue
to experience, extreme price and volume fluctuations which have affected
the market price of the shares of many small capital companies. These
fluctuations have often been unrelated to the operating results of such
companies. Such broad market fluctuations, as well as general economic and
political conditions, may decrease the market price of our common stock in
any market that develops.
THE SUCCESS OF OUR OPERATIONS WILL DEPEND LARGELY ON STEVEN WEISS.
Our success will depend largely on the efforts of our President, Steven
Weiss. We do not have a "key person" life insurance policy on Mr. Weiss.
The loss of Mr. Weiss could have devastating effect on our business,
operating results and financial condition. Our future growth and success
also depends on our ability to identify, hire, train and retain other
qualified management and technical personnel in the future. The inability
to hire and retain necessary personnel could severely limit our ability to
grow.

and our industry. When used in this prospectus, the words "expects,"
"anticipates," "estimates," "intends" and similar expressions are intended
to identify forward looking statements. These statements include, but are

Proceeds," "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
Results of Operations," "Business" and elsewhere in this prospectus.
These forward-looking statements are subject to risks and
uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from

DETERMINATION OF OFFERING PRICE
As no underwriter has been retained to offer our securities, the
offering price of our shares was not determined by negotiation with an
underwriter as is customary in underwritten public offerings. Rather, we
arbitrarily selected the offering price. There is no relationship between
the offering price of the shares and our assets, earnings, book value, net
worth or other economic or recognized criteria or future value of our
shares.

</Page>
<PAGE>
DILUTION
As of the date of this offering, we had 27,000,000 common shares
issued and outstanding and a net tangible book value of $88,313 or $.003
per share.
The proceeds from the sale of shares will vary depending on the total
number of shares sold.
If all 6,000,000 shares offered hereunder are sold, there would be a
total of 33,000,000 common shares issued and outstanding. If the maximum
6,000,000 shares are sold the net proceeds after deducting the offering
costs of $105,000 will be $495,000. Adding the net offering proceeds to
the net tangible book value, our total net tangible book value would be
$583,313. Dividing our net tangible book value by the number of shares
outstanding discloses a per share book value of approximately $.018.
Therefore, the shareholders who purchase in this offering will suffer an
immediate dilution in the book value of their shares of approximately $.082
or approximately 82% and our present shareholders will receive and
immediate book value increase of $ .015 per share.
The following table illustrates the dilution which will be experienced
by investors in the offering:
Offering price per share before deduction of offering expense$.10
Net tangible book value per share before the offering .003
Net tangible book value per share after the offering .018
Dilution to new investors per share .082
Dilution to new investors as a percentage 82%
COMPARATIVE DATA
The following chart illustrates the pro forma proportionate ownership
in the Company, upon completion of the offering, assuming the maximum
number of units is sold, of present stockholders and of investors in the
offering, compared to the relative amounts paid and contributed to capital
of the Company by present stockholders and by investors in this offering,
assuming no changes in net tangible book value other than those resulting
from the offering.

SECURITY OWNERSHIP OF CERTAIN BENEFICIAL OWNERS
AND MANAGEMENT
The term "beneficial owner" refers to both the power of investment
(the right to buy and sell) and rights of ownership (the right to received
distributions from the company and proceeds from sales of the shares).
Inasmuch as these rights or shares may be held by more than one person,
each person who has a beneficial ownership interest in shares is deemed the
beneficial owners of the same shares because there is shared power of
investment or shared rights of ownership.

DESCRIPTION OF THE SECURITIES
DESCRIPTION OF COMMON STOCK. The Company is presently authorized to
issue 50,000,000 shares of $.001 par value common stock. All shares when
issued, will be fully paid and non-assessable. All shares are equal to
each other with respect to liquidation and dividend rights. Holders of
voting shares are entitled to one vote for each share they own at any
shareholders' meeting.
Holders of shares of common stock are entitled to receive such
dividends as may be declared by the Board of Directors out of funds
legally available therefor, and upon liquidation are entitled to
participate pro-rata in a distribution of assets available for such a
distribution to shareholders. There are no conversion, pre-emptive or
other subscription rights or privileges with respect to any shares.
Reference is made to our Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws for a
more complete description of the rights and liabilities of holders of
common stock. The Company does not have cumulative voting rights which
means that the holders of more the 50% of the shares voting for each
election of directors may elect all of the directors if they choose to do
so. In such event, the holders of the remaining shares aggregating less
than 50% will not be able to elect any directors.
We will furnish annual reports to our shareholders which will include
financial statements and other interim reports as we deem appropriate.
DESCRIPTION OF PREFERRED STOCK. We are also presently authorized to
issue 5,000,000 shares of $.001 par value preferred stock. Under our
Articles of Incorporation the Board of Directors has the power, without
further action by the holders of the common stock, to designate the
relative rights and preferences of the preferred stock, and issue the
preferred stock in such one or more series as designated by the Board of
Directors. The designation of rights and preferences could include
preferences as to liquidation, redemption and conversion rights, voting
14
</Page>
<PAGE>
rights, dividends or other preferences, any of which may be dilutive of the
interest of the holders of the common stock or the preferred stock of any
other series. The issuance of preferred stock may have the effect of
delaying or preventing a change in control of the Company without further
shareholder action and may adversely effect the rights and powers,
including voting rights, of the holders of common stock. In certain
circumstances, the issuance of preferred stock could depress the market
price of the common stock. The Board of Directors effects a designation of
each series of preferred stock by filing with the Nevada Secretary of State
a Certificate of Designation defining the rights and preferences of each
such series. Documents so filed are matters of public record and may be
examined in accordance with procedures of the Nevada Secretary of State, or
copies thereof may be obtained from the Company.
TRANSFER AGENT. Interwest Transfer Company, Inc., 1981 East Murray-
Holladay Road, Salt Lake City, Utah 84117, Telephone (801) 272-9294, has

DISCLOSURE OF COMMISSION POSITION ON INDEMNIFICATION
FOR SECURITIES ACT LIABILITIES
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the
Securities Act of 1933 (the "act") may be permitted to directors, officers
and controlling persons for 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.
15
</Page>
<PAGE>
In the event that any claim for indemnification against such
liabilities (other than the payment by the small business issuer of
expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of
the small business issuer in the 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 its 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.
ORGANIZATION WITHIN LAST FIVE YEARS
We are a start-up company and have no operating history. As soon as
the money from this offering is made available, we expect to make all
arrangements necessary to commence operations in 2001.
DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS
Company History
---------------
Office Mangers, Inc., was formed as a Nevada corporation on September
19, 2000. Our executive offices are located at 136 East South Temple,
Suite 1600, Salt Lake City, Utah 84111. Our telephone number is (801)
363-2656. We are qualified to do business in New Jersey. Our website is
located at www.officemanagers.net. Information contained on our website
does not constitute part of this prospectus.
Our Strategy
We intend to create a comprehensive online vertical portal devoted
exclusively to office managers. We will develop a new and innovative site
offering valuable services and products that will differentiate us from the
many online e-commerce sites selling services or office products. Our
approach involves combining traditional professional service referrals,
customer service and office products with the cost effective online medium.
Our system will include:
- A national network of reliable, qualified professional service
providers in the areas of credit, collections and financing from
which we will provide referrals to office managers seeking such
services.
- A personalized, professional customer service department to
interact with, provide referrals to and address the problems of
office managers.
- Automated online sales of business products in over ten different
categories including office supplies, computer hardware and
software and furniture.
- Access to secure current national, international and industry
news.
- Online advertising.

Referrals of Professional Services
----------------------------------
Initially, we will primarily focus our referral services in the areas
of credit, collections and financing as our president has extensive
professional experience in these areas. In his experience, most businesses
rely on one or a few credit and collection agencies in the same city or
state where the business is located. This arrangement works well for
collections from in-state customers. As most credit and collections
agencies are local or at best regional, however, a problem arises with
customers outside the state or region of the business. In our experience,
most delinquent customers simply ignore threats from out-of-state credit
and collection agencies and respond only if and when a collection agency
located in the customer's state is retained. The problem for most
businesses, and their office managers, is that they do not know, have
access to, or have a comfort level with credit and collections
professionals outside their immediate locale. Our online vertical portal
will eliminate these problems for office managers.
We will develop a nationwide network of high quality credit and
collections professionals. We will only accept reputable, bonded
professionals as members of our referral network. To assure that our
customers receive high quality service, we will implement a follow up
program to seek feedback from all individuals receiving referrals. This
follow up program will be designed to evaluate the customers' experience
with the professional to whom they were referred. Based on this feedback,
professionals will be evaluated for ongoing suitability as a referral
source.
Development of our Network
Initially, we hope to include at least three professionals in each
major city in the United States in our network. We will build our network
through the contacts of our management, through an intensive direct
marketing program, and through word of mouth. To support our direct
marketing program, we intend to hire an individual whose primary
responsibility will be to identify, contact and screen potential service
providers for inclusion in our network. We will seek to establish
relationships with professional organizations that can provide us referrals
to competent professionals.
As need demands, we will broaden our network to include more
professionals in major cities and to extend our network to smaller cities.
Marketing and Delivery of our Referral Service
We will market our professional service referral system as a
nationwide white pages for office managers. Office managers and others
visiting our site in search of a referral will be directed to call a 1-800
number that will put them in touch with one of our customer service
representatives. The customer service representative will ask for
information relevant to the caller's location, situation and need. This
information will be logged into our database. Based on the information
17
</Page>
<PAGE>
provided, the customer service representative will provide the caller with
the name of a professional. The caller will be informed that the
professional will contact him within 24 hours. The customer service
representative will then contact the professional and disclose the relevant
information. If the professional is interested in providing the services
needed, the professional will be instructed to contact the caller within 24
hours. The professional will then be billed a $100 referral fee, which
will be paid directly to us. Following the expiration of the 24 hour
period, the customer service representative will contact the caller to
assure that he or she was called by the professional, and is satisfied with
the referral. If the professional has not contacted the caller, or the
caller would like a second referral, another referral will be given.
In addition to being provided with a referral, the caller will receive
a free or significantly discounted initial visit with the professional.
We believe many professionals will be willing to pay the $100 referral
fee and provide a free or significantly discounted initial consultation to
become a member of our referral network, as these referrals could
potentially represent a significant source of income to the professional.
Online Sales of Office Products
-------------------------------
The business model for our online office products store will not vary
significantly from many of the current office product e-commerce sites.
While we have not determined the full range of products we may offer, we
intend to offer at least 10 different categories of office-related
"commodity" type products, including computer hardware and software; office
supplies, such as pens, pencils, paper, binders, etc.; furniture; and
office machines. Our website will provide links to other sites where
additional products can be obtained.
Distribution Network
Rather than undertake the significant capital expenditures associated
with a traditional retail sales operation, we intend to outsource all of
the necessary operating infrastructure. We believe that outsourcing is key
to an efficient and profitable e-commerce model. As part of this strategy,
we will enter into relationships with distributors in each of our product
segments. These distributors will carry the inventory of goods from which
products will be picked, packed and shipped directly to our customers.
Through this system, we can effectively leverage the inventory management
and fulfillment capabilities of each of our providers to deliver products
cost effectively to our customers. To date, we have no agreements with any
distributors.
We expect to establish secure electronic connections with each of our
providers so that orders placed by our customers will be transmitted
directly to the distributor. The orders will be automatically fed into the
distributor's system where they will be processed, picked, packed and
shipped. We anticipate that orders will be processed and ready for
shipment within three to five days from the time a customer places an order
at our website.
18
</Page>
<PAGE>
We will seek to establish integrated electronic connections with each
of our distribution providers that can provide us with data on inventory
quantities, shipping status, shipper tracking numbers and the estimated
time of arrival for back-ordered products. Our website will provide a
direct link from a customer's order information to United Parcel Service
and FederalExpress to provide up-to-the-minute information on delivery
status.
Content
-------
Visitors to our site will also have access to secure current national,
international and industry news. We will contract with various news
services to provide this information. As need demands, we may also hire
individuals to provide information on products, technology, industry
regulations, news and management. Eventually, we will archive historical
content, enabling users to research through large databases of information.
If we believe there is sufficient interest, and we are capable of doing so,
we may also accept requests for proposals and related posting and response
areas.
Advertising
-----------
Advertising will be sold throughout our website. We anticipate, given
the narrow focus of our website, that our site will provide attractive
demographics which will appeal to participants in the professional services
and office products markets. Attractive rates will be given to affiliates
and strategic partners, such as service providers and e-commerce partners.
While we believe our website will provide a positive advertising
platform, the primary focus of our website will be on services and content,
not advertising.
Marketing Strategy
------------------
Successful vertical internet sites build their business on an
understanding of the importance of creating positive and productive
relationships among the community. Accordingly, we believe our success
will be based on a combination of quality content and in-depth, lasting
relationships within the community we hope to develop. We will pursue an
aggressive brand building strategy, utilizing a combination of innovative
online and offline industry methods targeted specifically to key market
segments. This will include:
- Offering content that is tailored and specialized for the office
management community and is different from many of the existing
category product and service-related sites.
- Providing superior customer value through a combination of unique
services and delivery mechanisms, broad product selection, fair
prices and outstanding customer service.
- Creating a comfortable, easy to use environment with skilled
customer service representatives available to assist customers.
19

<PAGE>
<PAGE>
Direct Sales
We anticipate the need to hire from one to three individuals with
marketing experience to undertake an extensive marketing campaign focused
on contacting office managers, service providers and product suppliers.
This campaign is expected to occur during the first and second quarters of
2001 and will be aimed at creating brand awareness, building our referral
network and developing product and distribution relationships.
Advertising
Our online advertising will include:
- Content tailored e-mail drops.
- Reciprocal web links with other websites.
- Presence in web directories.
- Selected banner advertising.
Our offline advertising will include:
- Articles and ads in internet industry publications, general
business magazines and newsprint.
- Trade Shows and Conferences
- Outdoor billboard advertising.
- Direct mail campaigns.
- TV and radio spots in selected markets.
- Full color brochures.
Given our contacts, our offline advertising campaign will initially be
focused solely in the northeastern United States. Thereafter, as we begin
to build brand recognition, we will expand our offline advertising to other
regions, with the expectation of having a nationwide offline advertising
presence within three to five years.
Direct Marketing Firms
There are an increasing number of internet-related direct marketing
firms specializing in finding sales leads, conducting direct mail and
direct marketing campaigns, creating custom databases, performing marketing
research and database marketing. We hope to develop a co-marketing
relationship with one or more of these firms to assist us with our direct
marketing program.
Trade Shows and Conferences
We will seek to have a presence at offline office supply trade shows,
conferences for credit, collections and financing professionals, and
internet-related business-to-business trade shows to build brand awareness
and relationships with office managers and industry partners.
Public Relations
We anticipate hiring a public relations firm to provide us valuable
market research and information and to manage both our online and offline
advertising campaigns. To date we have not entered into negotiations with
any public relations firms.
20
</Page>
<PAGE>
Technology and Systems
----------------------
We will primarily rely upon commercially available licensed
technologies. Our current strategy is to license available technology
whenever possible rather than seek internally- developed solutions.
Our website's front-end will be built on industry standard
technologies. The business logic of the site will be contained in a
variety of currently available programs. These programs will handle user
interface, ordering and customer communications and will operate on
redundant servers. If needed, we will add additional servers and capacity.
Our system will include redundant hardware on mission critical components,
which we believe can survive the failure of several entire servers with
relatively little downtime. We will also find a system we believe can
quickly and easily expand capacity without significant additional
development. We will run our key systems below capacity to support
anticipated growth.
Order Processing Applications.
We will use a set of computer software applications for processing
each customer order. These applications will charge customer credit cards,
print order information, transmit order information electronically to our
distributors and deposit transaction information into our accounting
system. All credit card numbers and financial and credit information will
be secured using encryption standards, and we will maintain credit card
numbers behind appropriate fire walls.
Intellectual Property
We regard the protection of our service marks, trademarks, trade
secrets and other intellectual property rights as critical to our future
success. We rely on various intellectual property laws and contractual
restrictions to protect our proprietary rights in products and services.
We have acquired and registered our domain name with regulatory bodies in
an effort to protect these intellectual property rights. We will also
enter into confidentiality and invention assignment agreements with our
contractors, and nondisclosure agreements with our suppliers to limit
access to and disclosure of our proprietary information. We cannot assure
that these contractual arrangements or the other steps taken by us to
protect our intellectual property will prove sufficient to prevent
misappropriation of our technology or to deter independent third party
development of similar technologies. In addition, we are pursuing the
registration of our key trademarks and service marks in the U.S. We
currently have pending trademark registrations for marks in the U.S.
However, effective intellectual property protection may not be available in
every country in which our services may be made available in the future.
There is also no guarantee that the trademarks or servicemarks for which we
have applied for registration will offer adequate protection under
applicable law.
21
</Page>
<PAGE>
As is customary with technology companies, from time to time we may
receive or become aware of, correspondence claiming potential infringement
of other parties' proprietary rights. We could incur significant costs and
diversion of management time and resources to defend claims regardless of
the validity of these claims. We may not have adequate resources to defend
these claims, and any associated costs and distractions could have a
material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of
operations. As an alternative to litigation, we may seek licenses for
other parties' intellectual property rights. We may not be successful in
obtaining any necessary licenses on commercially reasonable terms, if at
all.
EMPLOYEES
Mr. Weiss is currently working about 20 hours per week to meet the
needs of the Company. Mr. Hickey is working approximately 10 hours per
week. As demand requires, Mr. Weiss and Mr. Hickey will devote additional
time to the Company. We anticipate the need to hire up to 18 additional
employees within the next twelve months. As needed, we expect to hire five
accounting/billing coordinators, five sales and marketing professionals,
five customer service representatives, an office manager, a
secretary/receptionist, and an information technology specialist.
PLAN OF OPERATIONS
Our plan of operations for the next twelve months is to raise funds
through the offering. In addition to providing capital to help defray
various start up expenditures, a principal use of the offering proceeds
will be to provide working capital necessary upon commencement of
operations until sufficient revenues are generated to cover such operating
expenditures. To commence active business operations during 2001 we are
engaged in a number of planning stage and preliminary activities. These
activities include purchasing and putting into place the necessary
electronic infrastructure to support our vertical portal; developing the
software to run both our vertical portal and our referral databases;
finishing construction of our website; negotiating agreements with product
suppliers; putting into place the necessary infrastructure to support our
e-commerce operations, including order placement, secure payment, and
delivery systems; negotiating agreements for content production and
delivery; developing a sufficient referral network to begin operations,
including negotiating agreements with the service providers on the terms
discussed herein; hiring and training sales and marketing and customer
service representatives; and formulating and implementing an aggressive
marketing campaign to drive the office management community to our website.
DESCRIPTION OF PROPERTY
Our principal executive offices are located in approximately 400
square feet of office space in Salt Lake City, Utah under a one year lease
that expires November 2001. Our lease agreement for this office space
requires monthly rental payments of $2,000.
In addition to the space we rent in Salt Lake City, we anticipate that
within the next six months, we will need to rent approximately 500-1,000
square feet of office space in New Jersey. This space will be used as our
operational headquarters.

CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS
None.
MARKET FOR COMMON EQUITY AND RELATED STOCKHOLDER MATTERS
At present, our securities are not traded publicly. There is no
assurance that a trading market will develop, or, if developed, that it
will be sustained. A purchaser of shares may, therefore, find it difficult
to resell the securities offered herein should he or she desire to do so
when eligible for public resales. Furthermore, the shares are not
marginable and it is unlikely that a lending institution would accept our
common stock as collateral for a loan.
Pursuant to this registration statement, we propose to publicly offer
a minimum of 2,000,000 units and a maximum of 6,000,000 units, each
consisting of one share of common stock, one A warrant redeemable within
one year to purchase an additional share and one B warrant redeemable
within five years to purchase an additional share. To date, none of our
outstanding shares of common stock are subject to outstanding options,
warrants to purchase or securities convertible into common stock. We have
not agreed to register shares of common stock held by existing security
holders for resale.
EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION
To date we have no employees other than our officers. Neither our
officers nor directors have been paid any compensation. Moreover, we
presently have no formal employment agreements or other contractual
arrangements with our officers or directors or any one else regarding the
commitment of time or the payment of salaries or other compensation. When
funds allow, we anticipate that our officers will be offered a compensation
package.
FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
The audited financial statements of the Company appearing in the
Registration Statement have been examined by Andersen, Andersen & Strong,
Certified Public Accountants, as indicated in its report contained herein.
The financial statements are included in the Registration Statement in
reliance upon the report of that firm as an expert in auditing and
accounting.
CHANGES IN AND DISAGREEMENTS WITH ACCOUNTANTS
ON ACCOUNTING AND FINANCIAL DISCLOSURE
None.
PART II - INFORMATION NOT REQUIRED IN PROSPECTUS
INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS
The statutes, charter provisions, bylaws, contracts or other
arrangements under which controlling persons, directors or officers of the
registrant are insured or indemnified in any manner against any liability
which they may incur in such capacity are as follows:
(a) Section 78.751 of the Nevada Business Corporation Act provides
that each corporation shall have the following powers:
23
</Page>
<PAGE>
1. A corporation may indemnify any person who was or is a party
or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or
completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal,
administrative or investigative, except an action by or in the right
of the corporation, by reason of the fact that he is or was a
director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation, or is or was
serving at the request of the corporation as a director, officer,
employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture,
trust or other enterprise, against expenses, including attorneys'
fees, judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and
reasonably incurred by him in connection with the action, suit or
proceeding if he acted in good faith and in a manner which he
reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interest of
the corporation, and, with respect to any criminal action or
proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe his conduct was
unlawful. The termination of any action, suit or proceeding by
judgment, order, settlement, conviction, or upon a plea of nolo
contendere or its equivalent, does not, of itself create a presumption
that the person did not act in good faith and in a manner which he
reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of
the corporation, and that, with respect to any criminal action or
proceeding, he had reasonable cause to believe that his conduct was
unlawful.
2. A corporation may indemnify any person who was or is a party
or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or
completed action or suit by or in the right of the corporation to
procure a judgment in its favor by reason of the fact that he is or
was a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation, or is
or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director,
officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint
venture, trust or other enterprise against expenses, including amounts
paid in settlement and attorneys' fees actually and reasonably
incurred by him in connection with the defense or settlement of the
action or suit if he acted in good faith and in a manner which he
reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of
the corporation. Indemnification may not be made for any claim, issue
or matter as to which such a person has been adjudged by a court of
competent jurisdiction, after exhaustion of all appeals therefrom, to
be liable to the corporation or for amounts paid in settlement to the
corporation, unless and only to the extent that the court in which the
action or suit was brought or other court of competent jurisdiction,
determines upon application that in view of all the circumstances of
the case, the person is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity
for such expenses as the court deems proper.
3. To the extent that a director, officer, employee or agent of
a corporation has been successful on the merits or otherwise in
defense of any action, suit or proceeding referred to in subsections 1
and 2, or in defense of any claim, issue or matter therein, he must be
indemnified by the corporation against expenses, including attorneys'
fees, actually and reasonably incurred by him in connection with the
defense.
4. Any indemnification under subsections 1 and 2, unless
ordered by a court or advanced pursuant to subsection 5, must be made
by the corporation only as authorized in the specific case upon a
determination that indemnification of the director, officer, employee
or agent is proper in the circumstances. The determination must be
made:
24
</Page>
<PAGE>
(a) By the stockholders;
(b) By the board of directors by majority vote of a quorum
consisting of directors who were not parties to the act, suit or
proceeding;
(c) If a majority vote of a quorum consisting of directors
who were not parties to the act, suit or proceeding so orders, by
independent legal counsel, in a written opinion; or
(d) If a quorum consisting of directors who were not
parties to the act, suit or proceeding cannot be obtained, by
independent legal counsel in a written opinion.
5. The certificate or articles of incorporation, the bylaws or
an agreement made by the corporation may provide that the expenses of
officers and directors incurred in defending a civil or criminal
action, suit or proceeding must be paid by the corporation as they are
incurred and in advance of the final disposition of the action, suit
or proceeding, upon receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of the
director or officer to repay the amount if it is ultimately determined
by a court of competent jurisdiction that he is not entitled to be
indemnified by the corporation. The provisions of this subsection do
not affect any rights to advancement of expenses to which corporate
personnel other than directors or officers may be entitled under any
contract or otherwise by law.
6. The indemnification and advancement of expenses authorized
in or ordered by a court pursuant to this section:
(a) Does not exclude any other rights to which a person
seeking indemnification or advancement of expenses may be
entitled under the certificate or articles of incorporation or
any bylaw, agreement, vote of stockholders of disinterested
directors or otherwise, for either an action in his official
capacity or an action in another capacity while holding his
office, except that indemnification, unless ordered by a court
pursuant to subsection 2 or for the advancement of expenses made
pursuant to subsection 5, may not be made to or on behalf of any
director or officer if a final adjudication establishes that his
acts or omissions involved intentional misconduct, fraud or a
knowing violation of the law and was material to the cause of
action.
(b) Continues for a person who has ceased to be a director,
officer, employee or agent and inures to the benefit of the
heirs, executors and administrators of such a person.
7. The registrant's Articles of Incorporation limit liability
of its Officers and Directors to the full extent permitted by the
Nevada Business Corporation Act.

RECENT SALES OF UNREGISTERED SECURITIES
On September 19, 2000, 4,000,000 restricted common shares were issued
to our CEO, President and Director, Steven Weiss for $4,000. The shares
were issued without registration under the Securities Act of 1933 in
reliance on an exemption from registration provided by Section 4(2) of the

and regulations exempting the offer and sale of these securities by
available state exemptions. No general solicitation was made in connection

UNDERTAKINGS
Subject to the terms and conditions of Section 15(d) of the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934, the undersigned Registration hereby undertakes to
file with the Securities and Exchange Commission such supplementary and
periodic information, documents, and reports as may be prescribed by any
rule or regulation of the Commission heretofore or hereafter duly adopted
pursuant to authority conferred to that section.
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the
Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and
controlling persons of the Registrant pursuant to its Articles of
Incorporation or provisions of the Nevada Business Corporations Act, or
otherwise, we have 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 (other than the payment
by the registrant 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, we 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 or not
such indemnification by us is against public policy as expressed in the Act
and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
We hereby undertake to:
(1) File, during any period in which we offer or sell 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. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase
or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of
securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and nay
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 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; and
(iii) Include any additional or changed material information on the
plan of distribution.
(2) For determining liability under the Securities Act treat each
post-effective amendment as a new registration statement of the securities
offered, and the offering of the securities at that time to be the initial
bona fide offering.
(3) File a post-effective amendment to remove from registration any of the
securities that remain unsold at the end of the offering.

2000.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS
We have audited the accompanying balance sheet of Office Managers, Inc.
(development stage company) at October 31, 2000, and the related statement
of operations, stockholders' equity, and cash flows for the period
September 19, 2000 (date of inception) to October 31, 2000. These
financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management.
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements
based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to
obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free
of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis,
evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial
statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles
used and significant estimates made by management as well as evaluating
the overall balance sheet presentation. We believe that our audits provide
a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly,
in all material respects, the financial position of Office Managers Inc. at
October 31, 2000, and the results of operations, and cash flows for the
period September 19, 2000 (date of inception) to October 31, 2000, in
conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
==========================================================================
1. ORGANIZATION
The Company was incorporated under the laws of the State of Nevada on
September 19, 2000 with authorized common stock of 50,000,000 shares at
$0.001 par value.
The Company was organized for the purpose of acquiring and developing an
online vertical portal on the World Wide Web devoted exclusively to office
managers for the purpose of delivering office products and related
professional services over the internet.
Since its inception the Company has completed a private placement offering
of 21,000,000 common shares for cash of $65,810.
2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Accounting Methods
------------------
The Company recognizes income and expenses based on the accrual method of
accounting.
Dividend Policy
---------------
The Company has not yet adopted a policy regarding payment of dividends.
Income Taxes
------------
On October 31, 2000, the Company had a net operating loss carry forward
of $2,497. The tax benefit from the loss carry forward has been fully
offset by a valuation reserve because the use of the future tax benefit is
doubtful since the Company has no operations. The net operating loss will
expire in 2022.
Basic and Diluted Net Income (Loss) Per Share
---------------------------------------------
Basic net income (loss) per share amounts are computed based on the
weighted average number of shares actually outstanding. Diluted net income
(loss) per share amounts are computed using the weighted average number of
common shares and common equivalent shares outstanding as if shares had
been issued on the exercise of the preferred share rights unless the
exercise becomes antidilutive and then only the basic per share amounts are
shown in the report.
Amoritization of web site
-------------------------
The cost of the web site will be amortized to expense over five years.

and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities, and

estimates that were assumed in preparing these financial statements.
