SUMMARY INFORMATION AND RISK FACTORS.
Prospectus Summary. The following summary is supported by reference to the more detailed information and the financial statements, including the notes thereto, appearing elsewhere in this Prospectus. Each prospective investor is urged to read this Prospectus in its entirety.
The purchase of the securities offered through this prospectus involves a high degree of risk. See section entitled "Risk Factors" on pages 4-6.
SUMMARY
Company History
Wood Products, Inc. ("Wood Products") was incorporated on January 8, 2002 under the laws of the state of Nevada.
The principal offices are located at Suite 186 - 8120 #2 Road, Richmond, B.C. Canada V7B 5J8. The telephone number is (604) 908-1990.
Since becoming incorporated, Wood Products has not made any significant purchases or sale of assets, nor has it been involved in any mergers, acquisitions or consolidations. Wood Products has never declared bankruptcy, it has never been in receivership, and it has never been involved in any legal action or proceedings.
Wood Products is a development stage company that is in the process of establishing itself as a provider of home building packages. These products will be specifically designed and sold to provide building contractors with material packages for their customized homes to be built. A material package will include the lumber to frame the house on a foundation that is supplied by others. It can also include windows, exterior doors, siding, roofing, and other miscellaneous housing items. Full information about Wood Products' products will be available, in the future, on the Internet at www.woodproductscanada.com.
Wood Products incurred a loss in the amount of $57,755 for our most recent quarter ended June 30, 2002. Wood Products had cash in the amount of $49,960 as of June 30, 2002. Prior to filing this registration statement, Wood Products sold 3,375,000 amount of shares for a total of $60,711, thereby providing a cash balance on hand of $41,026 as of July 31, 2002. Wood Products' business plan calls for the spending of approximately $36,000 over the next twelve-month period. All but $3,925.53 of the costs associated with this offering have already been paid. Accordingly, Wood Products has sufficient cash to proceed with the business plan for the 12 months after this registration becomes effective, as detailed in Item 17 - Plan of Operation.
Products and Services
Marketing and distribution of Wood Products' services and products will take place through established small home building contractors currently engaged in the home building industry. The primary markets for distribution will be the United States of America and Germany. Contractors can be found almost everywhere in both of these countries. Wood Products will be able to supply to the small builders services that include an informative website, design and drafting services, and after sales service and warranty.
Management
Currently, Wood Products has a three person Board of Directors. These three Board members have assumed responsibility for all planning, development and operational duties, and will continue to do so throughout the beginning stages of Wood Products. Frank Bartek, director of Wood Products, will be responsible for the distribution network in Germany, and Gordon Watts, President and director, will oversee the distribution for the United States. Other than Directors and Officers, there are no employees at the present time and there are no plans to hire employees during the next twelve months.
The Offering
Wood Products, Inc.'s common stock is presently not traded on any market or securities exchange. 3,375,000 shares of common stock are issued and outstanding as of the date of this prospectus.
Wood Products is offering for sale common stock, at the same time that certain Selling Shareholders may also offer their stock for sale. Selling Shareholders will offer their shares at $.10 per share until such time as a market develops for the stock. Once a market for the stock has developed, the Selling Shareholders will be able to sell their stock at any price, which price may be lower than the offering price for stock for sale by Wood Products. This concurrent offering may adversely affect the ability of Wood Products to sell its stock, which, in turn, may adversely affect the ability of Wood Products to raise money. Wood Products has no arrangement in place to address the effect of this concurrent offering, and this may adversely affect the price of the stock after it is sold. In addition, if Wood Products is unable to sell its stock and raise money, Wood Products may not be able to complete its business plan and may fail.
This offering consists of up to 2,775,000 shares of common stock. Wood Products is offering 300,000 shares at an offering price of $0.10 per share. Current shareholders, as listed on page 9, are offering 2,475,000. There is currently no public market for the common stock. Wood Products intends to apply to have the common stock quoted on either the OTC Bulletin Board or the proposed Bulletin Board Exchange (BBX). No trading symbol has yet been assigned. Selling shareholders will offer their shares at $.10 per share, based on the price at which Wood Products is selling shares, until the shares are quoted on either the OTCBB or the BBX. Once a market develops for the common stock, Selling Shareholders will be able to sell their stock at any price. Officers, Directors or significant investors own none of the shares being offered. Wood Products' Officers and Directors collectively own 900,000 shares of Restricted Common Stock.
There are 3,375,000 shares of common stock issued and outstanding as of the date of this prospectus.
There is currently no market for Wood Products stock.
RISK FACTORS
An investment in our common stock involves a high degree of risk. You should carefully consider the risks described below and the other information in this prospectus. If any of the following risks occur, our business, operating results and financial condition could be seriously harmed. The trading price of our common stock could decline due to any of these risks, and you could lose all or part of your investment.
Wood Products is offering for sale common stock, at the same time that certain Selling Shareholders may also offer their stock for sale. The Selling Shareholders will be able to sell their stock at any price, which price may be lower than the offering price for stock for sale by Wood Products. This concurrent offering may adversely affect the ability of Wood Products to sell its stock, which, in turn, may adversely affect its ability to raise money. Wood Products has no arrangement in place to address the effect of this concurrent offering, and this may adversely affect the price of the stock after it is sold. In addition, if Wood Products is unable to sell its stock and raise money, it may not be able to complete its business plan and may fail.
If Wood Products cannot produce a profit, the business will fail
Wood Products was incorporated on January 8, 2002. We have never been profitable and have never generated any revenue. As of June 30, 2002, Wood Products had an accumulated deficit of $64,900. It is anticipated that Wood Products will incur increased operating expenses without realizing profitability from sales. Wood Products expects to incur significant losses into the foreseeable future and recognizes that if it is unable to generate significant revenues from planned services, it will not be able to achieve profitability or continue operations and the business will fail.
If Wood Products cannot successfully develop its business plan, the business will fail
Wood Products is a development stage company that is planning to market home building products and packages to the United States and Germany. These conditions raise substantial doubt as to Wood Products' continuing as a going concern. The success of business operations will depend upon Wood Products' ability to complete successful development of its planned business and to attain profitable operations. If Wood Products is not able to complete successful development of its business and attain profitable operations, then its business will fail.
Wood Products may be unable to complete its website, which is necessary to promote and market its products.:
The Wood Products' website, www.woodproductscanada.com is not yet operational. Wood Products intends to use the website as a promotional and marketing tool for its customers to use. Wood Products has allocated $5,000 to develop the website in the next twelve months. Wood Products intends to use the website as an "on-line catalogue" for its customers to be able to view the entire line of product and services. If this website is not available, Wood Products would not be able to adequately market its products and services to potential customers.
Wood Products will rely upon consultants for web-development, and the consultant may not complete the work within the set framework and on time.
Wood Products is also heavily dependent on the web consultant to develop the website in a timely matter within budget. If the consultant does not fulfill his duties, Wood Products may not be able to find another consultant with specific expertise to develop it business plan.
Wood Products' success is dependent on current management, who may be unable to devote sufficient time to the development of Wood Products' business plan, which could cause the business to fail.
Wood Products is heavily dependent on the extensive industry experience that Gordon Watts and Frank Bartek bring to the company. If something were to happen to either of them, it would greatly delay its daily operations until further industry contacts could be established. Furthermore, there is no assurance that suitable people could be found to replace one or either of them. In that instance, Wood Products may be unable to further its business plan.
Additionally, Gordon Watts, James Watts and Frank Bartek operate their own businesses to provide a consistent salary. Both Masseurs Gordon Watts and Bartek have been and continue to expect to be able to commit approximately 25 hours each per week of their time, to the development of Wood Products' business plan in the next twelve months. If management is required to spend additional time with their respective businesses, they may not have sufficient time to devote to Wood Products, and , Wood Products would be unable to develop its business plan.
If Wood Products does not comply with tax exemptions under the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA), it may significantly raise the price of products, and would adversely affect the ability of Wood Products to sell products to the U.S. market.
Presently Wood Products' products would not be subject to any U.S. duties or Federal taxes under the NAFTA agreement. This exemption only applies to the products if the complete house is shipped all at the same time or in separate related shipments within a 24-hour period. If products are shipped separately, not within a 24-hour period, or additional products are required at a later date, they would be subject to various duties and / or Federal taxes. These duties and / or taxes would affect the cost greatly, currently ranging from 23 - 39% combined, and would greatly increase the price required to complete the sale. Such price increase would make Wood Products' goods less competitive to the U.S. market.
Because a small group of existing stockholders own a majority of the outstanding common stock, future corporate decisions will be controlled by this group, whose interests may differ from the interests of other stockholders, and may be adverse to those other shareholders' interests.
Directors, executive officers and affiliates beneficially own approximately 27% of the outstanding shares of common stock. Accordingly, they will have significant influence in determining the outcome of all corporate transactions, including mergers, consolidations and the sale of all or substantially all of our assets, and also the power to prevent or cause a change in control. The interests of these stockholders may differ from the interests of the other stockholders, and they may make decisions, as stockholders, with which the other stockholders may not agree. Such decision may be detrimental to Wood Products' business plan and/or operations and they may cause the business to fail.
There is currently no market for Wood Products' common stock, but if a market for our common stock does develop, our stock price may be volatile
There is currently no market for Wood Products' common stock and there is no assurance that a market will develop. If a market develops, it is anticipated that the market price of Wood Products' common stock will be subject to wide fluctuations in response to several factors including:
The ability to complete the development of Wood Products in order to provide those products to the public;
The ability to generate revenues from sales;
The ability to generate brand recognition of the Wood Products products and services and acceptance by consumers;
Increased competition from competitors who offer competing services; and
Wood Products' financial condition and results of operations.
Rules Governing Low-Priced Stocks can be restrictive for broker-dealers, and those restrictions May Effect Shareholders' Ability to Resell Shares:
Our Common Stock is currently considered a "penny stock" under federal securities laws (Penny Stock Reform Act, Securities Exchange Act Section 3a (51(A)), since its market price is below $5.00 per share. Penny stock rules generally impose additional sales practice and disclosure requirements on broker-dealers who sell or recommend such shares to certain investors.
Broker-dealers who sell penny stock to certain types of investors are required to comply with the SEC's regulations concerning the transfer of penny stock. If an exemption is not available, these regulations require broker-dealers to: make a suitability determination prior to selling penny stock to the purchaser; receive the purchaser's written consent to the transaction; and, provide certain written disclosures to the purchaser. These rules may affect the ability of broker-dealers to make a market in, or trade our shares. In turn, this may make it very difficult for investors to resell those shares in the public market.
While Wood Products expects to apply for listing on the OTC Bulletin Board, we may not be approved, and even if approved, we may not be approved for trading on the BBX Exchange; therefore shareholders may not have a market to sell their shares, either in the near term or in the long term, or both:
We can provide no assurance to investors that our common stock will be traded on any exchange or electronic quotation service. While we expect to apply to the OTC Bulletin Board, and expect to eventually apply to the BBX Exchange when it becomes active in 2003, we may not be approved to trade on the OTCBB, and we may not meet the requirements for listing on the BBX Exchange. Even if we are approved for trading on the OTCBB, if we do not meet the requirements of the BBX Exchange, our stock may then be traded on the "Pink Sheets," and the market for resale of our shares would decrease dramatically, if not be eliminated.
Wood Products' Operations And Assets are located in Canada and not In The United States or Germany, and are therefore subject to risks related to currency variations, changes in the law and the political climate of different countries.
Wood Products' operations and assets are concentrated in Canada, however its plans to develop its business through accessing markets in the United States and Germany. There are inherent legal, political and economic risks in concentrating assets and operations in one country while attempting to develop and build a business in a foreign country. Wood Products will be subject to fluctuations in the exchange rates pertaining to the US dollar, the Canadian dollar and the Euro. Differences in currency values may handicap Wood Products in the development and/or operation of its business, for example, by causing the price of goods, services and transportation to exceed the revenue that can be generated in the target markets respective currencies. Wood Products is also subject to the inherent instability of relations between countries. Such relations may become strained or non-existent and as a result Wood Products may be excluded from its intended markets. Furthermore Wood Products may face changes in the laws of its intended market countries, which may place it at a competitive disadvantage with any local competitors. As a corporation based in a foreign country, Wood Products may face difficulties in obtaining and/or enforcing local judgments it may obtain in its intended market countries.
Wood Product has limited financial resources at present, and proceeds from the offering may not be used to fully develop its business.
Wood Products has limited financial resources at present, and has less than $50,000 of cash on hand. If it is unable to develop its business plan, it may be required to divert certain proceeds from the sale of Wood Products' stock to general administrative functions. If Wood Products is required to divert some or all of proceeds from the sale of stock to areas that do not advance the business plan, it could adversely affect its ability to continue.
Wood Products has no customers to date, and may not develop sufficient customers to stay in business.
Wood Products has not sold any products, and may be unable to do so in the future. In addition, if Wood Products is unable to develop sufficient customers for its products, it will not generate enough revenue to sustain its business, and may have to adjust its business plan, or it may fail.
Wood Products' Auditor has Expressed Doubts as to Wood Products' Ability to Continue as a Going Concern:
In the opinion of our auditor, since we have not generated revenue from operations, it raises substantial doubt about Wood Products' ability to continue as a going concern.
These risk factors, individually or occurring together, would likely have a substantially negative effect on Wood Products' business and would likely cause it to fail.
Forward-Looking Statements
This prospectus contains forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. Wood Products uses words such as anticipate, believe, plan, expect, future, intend and similar expressions to identify such forward-looking statements. You should not place too much reliance on these forward-looking statements. Actual results are most likely to differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements for many reasons, including the risks faced as described in this Risk Factors section and elsewhere in this prospectus.
ITEM 4. USE OF PROCEEDS
Wood Products intends to raise $30,000 from the sale of 300,000 shares of common stock at $0.10 per share. This offering has a maximum amount of $30,000, and no minimum. Wood Products has no intentions to return any stock sales proceeds to investors if the maximum amount is not raised.
Readers will note that Wood Products has already raised a total of $60,711 from the sale of stock. A total of $35,961 has been raised from the sale of stock to Officers and Directors - this stock is restricted and is not being registered in this offering. In addition, Wood Products has raised $24,750 from the sale of stock to other parties - as detailed in Item 7 - Selling Security Holders. The offering expenses associated with this offering are believed to be $16,525.53 As of July 31, 2002, Wood Products had a balance (less outstanding checks) of $41,026 in cash. This will allow Wood Products to pay the entire expenses of this offer from cash on hand. None of the offering expenses are to be paid out of the proceeds of this offering. As of July 31, 2002, approximately $12,600 of the $16,525.53 has already been spent, thereby leaving an additional $3,925.53 estimated to be spent on this offering before the budgeted expenditures of $36,000 for developing the business plan. This leaves $1,100.47 (41,026 - 36,000 - 3,925.53) for general operating expenses while Wood Products waits for this filing to become effective.
One of the purposes of the offering is to create an equity market, which allows Wood Products to more easily raise capital, since a publicly traded company has more flexibility in its financing offerings than one that does not.
The following table indicates how Wood Products intends to use the proceeds of this offering and is in addition to the amount budgeted for in Item 17 -Plan of Operation. Items are not listed in a priority order.

The above expenditure items are defined as follows:
Legal and Accounting Fees: This expenditure item refers to the normal legal and accounting costs associated with listing on a public exchange, such as the BBX.
BBX Listing Fee: As per the BBX website (www.bbxchange.com), the initial listing fee will be $5,000. However, if Wood Products submits its listing application within 6 months of the BBX launch, the listing fee will be $2,500. For the purpose of this Prospectus, Wood Products is assuming a fee of $5,000.
Advertising and Promotion: This item refers to the cost of providing product and service information through the homebuilders associations, which is necessary to find and retain small builders.
Travel: This item refers to costs associated with the travel necessary to secure business contacts.
Office and Miscellaneous: This item refers to transfer agent fees, office supplies, postage, courier and other miscellaneous costs such as bank service charges or other sundry items.
There is no assurance that Wood Products will raise the full $30,000 as anticipated. The following is the break down of how Management intends to use the proceeds if only 25 percent, 50 percent, or 75 percent of the total offering amount is raised:

-
If 75% of the maximum amount is raised, Wood Products will be able to satisfy the expected costs of listing on the BBX, with still having $7,500 for additional business development.
-
If 50% of the maximum amount is raised, Wood Products will be able to satisfy the expected costs of listing on the BBX, with no extra money for additional business development.
-
If 25% of the maximum amount is raised, Wood Products will be able to pay the listing fee of $5,000, but will have a cash shortfall in paying the legal and accounting fees related to the BBX listing, as these fees are estimated to be $10,000. This would mean that Wood Products would incur an accounts payable relating to these fees. Wood Products would have to use funds that are allocated towards furthering the business as detailed in Items 16 and 17.
If less than 25% of the maximum amount is raised, Wood Products will allocate as much as possible to the BBX listing fee first. Any money left over will then be allocated to pay the accountants. Under this scenario, Wood Products would be accruing significant accounting and legal fees. This would force Wood Products to pay accounting fees from money intended for the business development. If Wood Products were unable to pay their accountants they would not be able to continue as a reporting company and would not be able to stay listed on the OTCBB or the proposed BBX.
Selling Shareholders will not be effected if Wood Products is unable to raise any amount of money through this issuance, because Wood Products does not intend to return stock sales proceeds to investors under any circumstances. However, if Wood Products is unable to raise sufficient additional funds from the sale of stock, the Selling Shareholders may find that there is no market developed on the BBX to allow those Selling Shareholders to sell their shares. The money Wood Products has raised thus far from selling stock to its present shareholders will be used, as outlined in Item 17 - Plan of Operations. Any amount of money raised from the sale of up to 300,000 shares, being offered by Wood Products, which is not used directly for the purpose of listing on the BBX, will be used for working capital for furtherance of the business.
ITEM 5. DETERMINATION OF OFFERING PRICE
There is no established market for the Registrant's stock. Wood Products' offering price for shares sold pursuant to this offering is set at $0.10. The existing shareholders paid $0.01 per share and the directors of Wood Products paid $0.04 per share. The additional factors that were included in determining the sales price are the lack of liquidity (since there is no present market for Wood Product's stock) and the high level of risk considering the lack of operating history of Wood Products. The Selling Shareholders, however, will offer their shares at $0.10, based on the price at which the shares are being offered, until the shares are quoted on either the OTCBB or the BBX at which time they will sell their stock at a price determined by the market, which may not be the same price as is sold by Wood Products. The Selling Shareholders will individually determine the price at which they will sell their shares, when and if they decide to sell.
ITEM 6. DILUTION
Wood Products is offering shares of its common stock for $.10 per share through this offering. Over the past five years, its officers, directors and affiliated persons have purchased shares of its common stock for $.001 and $.04 per share. Gordon Watts purchased 1,000 shares at $.001 per share January 9, 2002, and purchased 299,000 shares at $.04 per share on June 3, 2002. James Watts and Frank Bartek purchased 300,000 shares each at $.04 per share on June 3, 2002.
The net tangible book value per share at June 30, 2002 (based on 3,375,000 shares of common stock issued in July 2002, but subscribed for and cash received in June 2002)was $0.01 Assuming all shares are sold in this offering, there will be an immediate increase in net tangible book value attributable to shares owned previous to the offering of $13,474, or $0.01 per share resulting in a net tangible book value per share of $0.02. Accordingly, there will be an immediate dilution of $0.08 per share that will be absorbed by the purchasers of shares from Wood Products, which equals an eighty percent (80%) dilution value per share, if all shares under this offering are sold.
Assuming, less than the full amount of the offering are sold, dilution will be as follows:

The proceeds from the offering at the percentages sold above are reduced in each case by $16,525.53, being the estimated additional costs to be incurred by our company in connection with the offering. A reduction in our cost is not anticipated if we cannot fully sell the offering.

Except as otherwise noted in this list, the named party beneficially owns and has sole voting and investment power over all shares or rights to these shares. The numbers in this table assume that all shares offered are sold. The percentages are based on 3,375,000 shares of common stock outstanding on June 3, 2002. The 3,375,000 figure includes 900,000 common shares currently owned by Officers and Directors. These 900,000 shares are restricted and are not being registered in this offering.
None of the selling shareholders or their beneficial owners:
has had a material relationship with Wood Products, other than as a shareholder at any time within the past three years; or
has ever been an Officer or Director of Wood Products or any of its predecessors or affiliates.
ITEM 8. PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION
Two separate offerings of Wood Products' shares will be held concurrently. One offering consists of a maximum number of 2,475,000 shares being offered by current shareholders at $.10 per share. The second offering consists of a maxim number of 300,000 shares being offered by Wood Products of $.10 per share.
Company Offering
Wood Products is offering for sale common stock, at the same time that certain Selling Shareholders may also offer their stock for sale. If Wood Products is unable to sell its stock and raise money, it may not be able to complete its business plan and may fail.
There will be no underwriters used, no dealer's commissions, no finder's fees, and no passive market making for the shares being offered by Wood Products. All of these shares will be issued to business associates, friends, and family of current Wood Products' shareholders and principles. The Officers and Directors of Wood Products, Masseurs Watts, Watts, and Bartek, will not register as broker-dealers in connection with this offering. Masseurs Watts, Watts, and Bartek will not be deemed to be brokers pursuant to the safe harbor provisions of Rule 3a4-1 of the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, since they are not subject to statutory disqualification, will not be compensated directly or indirectly from the sale of securities, are not an associated person of a broker or dealer, nor have they been so associated within the previous twelve months, primarily perform substantial duties as Officers and Directors that are not in connection with the sale of securities, and have not nor will not participate in the sale of securities more than once every twelve months.
Selling Shareholders Offering
Selling Shareholders, as listed on page 9, are offering 2,475,000 shares of Wood Products' common stock. There is currently no public market for Wood Products' stock. Until such time as a market does develop, Selling Shareholders will sell their shares at a fixed price of $.10 per share. Once a market develops, the Selling Shareholders will be able to sell their stock at any price, which price may be lower than the offering price for stock for sale by Wood Products. This concurrent offering may adversely affect the ability of Wood Products to sell its stock, which, in turn, may adversely affect the ability of Wood Products to raise money. Wood Products has no arrangement in place to address the effect of this concurrent offering, and this may adversely affect the price of the stock after it is sold.
There will be no underwriters used, no dealer's commissions, no finder's fees, and no passive market making for the shares being offered by current shareholders.
The Selling Shareholders will be selling 2,475,000 of the 2,775,000 shares offered in this prospectus, and 2,475,000 of the 3,675,000 total shares that will be outstanding if all of the shares to be sold by Wood Products are sold. The Selling Shareholders will be selling 89.2% of the stock being sold in this offering, and 67.3% of the total shares that will be outstanding, if all of the shares to be sold by Wood Products are sold. The shares being sold by the Selling Shareholders will be sold individually by each shareholder, based on market prices and conditions once the shares are registered on an exchange, and will not necessarily be dependant on the price for which Wood Products is offering the shares. Selling shareholders will sell their stock at a fixed price of $.10 per share until a market has developed. After a market for Wood Products' shares has developed will the selling shareholders be able to sell at market prices. If the shares sold by the Selling Shareholders are sold for a price that is less than the price for which Wood Products is selling its stock, Wood Products may not be able to sell its stock, and raise the necessary cash to complete its business development. In such event, the business may fail.
Wood Products plans to offer its shares to the public, with no minimum amount to be sold, and will keep the offering open November 30, 2002. Wood Products may, at its discretion, extend the offer up to an additional two (2) years from the date this offer is declared effective.
Our Common Stock is currently considered a "penny stock" under federal securities laws (Penny Stock Reform Act, Securities Exchange Act Section 3a (51(A)) since its market price is below $5.00 per share. Penny stock rules generally impose additional sales practice and disclosure requirements on broker-dealers who sell or recommend such shares to certain investors.
Broker-dealers who sell penny stock to certain types of investors are required to comply with the SEC's regulations concerning the transfer of penny stock. If an exemption is not available, these regulations require broker-dealers to: make a suitability determination prior to selling penny stock to the purchaser; receive the purchaser's written consent to the transaction; and, provide certain written disclosures to the purchaser. These rules may affect the ability of broker-dealers to make a market in, or trade our shares. In turn, this may make it very difficult for investors to resell those shares in the public market.

Wood Products is not currently a party to any legal proceedings. Wood Products' agent for service of process in Nevada is Corporation Trust Company of Nevada, 6100 Neil Road #500, Reno, Nevada 89511.

Mr. Watts will be allocating his time to Wood Products on a priority basis over his running of Watts Development. As of this filing, Mr. Watts has been allocating approximately 25 hours per week to Wood Products and anticipates doing so during the development of the business plan.

This transition took a few months and in December of 1990, James Watts left Vancouver Courier Ltd.
Since then, Mr. Watts has formed the following companies

ITEM 12. DESCRIPTION OF SECURITIES
General
The authorized capital stock consists of 100,000,000 shares of common stock at a par value of $0.001 per share.
Common Stock
As of July 31, 2002, 3,375,000 shares of common stock issued and outstanding were held by approximately thirty-eight (38) stockholders of record.
Holders of common stock are entitled to one vote for each share on all matters submitted to a stockholder vote. Holders of common stock do not have cumulative voting rights. Therefore, holders of a majority of the shares of common stock voting for the election of directors can elect all of the directors. Holders of common stock representing a majority of the voting power of Wood Products capital stock issued and outstanding and entitled to vote, represented in person or by proxy, are necessary to constitute a quorum at any meeting of company stockholders. A vote by the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares is required to effectuate certain fundamental corporate changes such as liquidation, merger or an amendment to the articles of incorporation.
Holders of common stock are entitled to share in all dividends that the board of directors, in its discretion, declares from legally available funds. In the event of a liquidation, dissolution or winding up, each outstanding share entitles its holder to participate pro rata in all assets that remain after payment of liabilities and after providing for each class of stock, if any, having preference over the common stock. Holders of the common stock have no pre-emptive rights, no conversion rights and there are no redemption provisions applicable to the common stock.
SHAREHOLDERS
Each shareholder has sole investment power and sole voting power over the shares owned by such shareholder.
ITEM 13. INTERESTS OF NAMED EXPERTS AND COUNSEL
No expert or counsel named in this prospectus as having prepared or certified any part of this prospectus or having given an opinion upon the validity of the securities being registered or upon other legal matters in connection with the registration or offering of the common stock was employed on a contingency basis, or had, or is to receive, in connection with the offering, a substantial interest, direct or indirect, in the registrant or any of its parents or subsidiaries. Nor was any such person connected with the registrant or any of its parents or subsidiaries as a promoter, managing or principal underwriter, voting trustee, director, officer, or employee.
Parsons Law Firm, of Bellevue, Washington, an independent legal counsel, has provided an opinion on the validity of Wood Products issuance of common stock.
The financial statements included in this Prospectus and in the Registration Statement have been audited by BDO Dunwoody, LLP, independent chartered accountants, to the extent and for the period set forth in their report (which contains an explanatory paragraph regarding Wood Products' ability to continue as a going concern) appearing elsewhere herein and in the Registration Statement, and are included in reliance upon such report given upon the authority of said firm as experts in auditing and accounting.
ITEM 14. DISCLOSURE OF COMMISSION POSITION OF INDEMNIFICATION FOR SECURITIES ACT LIABILITIES
As permitted by Nevada Statutes, Wood Products may indemnify its directors and officers against expenses and liabilities they incur to defend, settle, or satisfy any civil or criminal action brought against them on account of their being or having been Wood Products directors or officers unless, in any such action, they are adjudged to have acted with gross negligence or willful misconduct. Insofar as indemnification for liabilities originates under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers or persons controlling Wood Products pursuant to the foregoing provisions. Wood Products has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission, indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act, and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities is asserted by one of the directors, officers, or controlling persons in connection with the securities being registered, Wood Products will, unless in the opinion of legal counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit the question of whether such indemnification is against public policy to a court of appropriate jurisdiction. Wood Products will then be governed by the court's decision.
ITEM 15. ORGANIZATION WITHIN LAST FIVE YEARS
Wood Products was incorporated on January 8, 2002, under the laws of the state of Nevada.
There are no promoters being used in relation with this offering. No persons who may, in the future, be considered a promoter will receive or expect to receive any assets, services or other consideration from Wood Products. No assets will be or are expected to be acquired from any promoter on behalf of Wood Products. In addition, see Certain Relationships and Related Transactions, Item 19, below.
ITEM 16: DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS
Business Development
Wood Products Inc. was incorporated on January 8, 2002, in the state of Nevada. Wood Products has never declared bankruptcy, it has never been in receivership, and it has never been involved in any legal action or proceedings. Since becoming incorporated, Wood Products has not made any significant purchase or sale of assets, nor has it been involved in any mergers, acquisitions or consolidations. Wood Products is not a blank check registrant as that term is defined in Rule 419(a)(2) of Regulation C of the Securities Act of 1933, since it has a specific business plan or purpose.
Business of Issuer
Wood Products' objective is to pursue the assembly of quality packaged homes and the supply of component material packages in Canada for export to customers worldwide. Packaged homes will be custom shipments of framing, lumber, and finishing components, which will be assembled on the building site. Standard packages are designed to be affordable, easy to build and ship, and compliant with local building regulations. Wood Products will source all the products and services for resale and will not be carrying any inventories.
Principal Products, Services and Their Markets
Wood Products' objective is to competitively supply Canadian building products for shipment around the world. The supplies will be shipped in the following form: precut home packages, prefabricated packaged homes, whole log and shaped log packages. Wood Products is also going to offer the following services: design and drafting, competitive pricing, packaging, and shipping.
Precut Home Packages
A precut (stick-built) home package will usually include the lumber to frame the house. This lumber is normally shipped in specified lengths to frame the house on a foundation supplied by others. It can also include windows, exterior doors, siding and roofing materials. Wood Products can also include inside finishing materials such as interior doors, trims, closet shelving, kitchen and bathroom cabinets and flooring finishes. The construction of a house made from the precut packages will occur on the building site. Individual packages will be marked as to what the material is for and showing on the drawings how it is used and where in the process of construction it is to be used.
Prefabricated Packaged Homes
Prefabricated packaged homes are the same as precut packages except that Wood Products will have the exterior walls pre-built in four or eight foot sections. These sections are plywood clad and can have the windows and doors installed and also have the siding applied. Wood Products will contract out all their pre-assembly work before shipping. And like the precut packages, prefabricated homes will be constructed on site. Individual packages will be marked as to what the material is for and showing on the drawings how it is used and where in the process of construction it is to be used.
Whole Log Home Packages
Log home packages are the same as the precut packages but are built with whole logs of Western red cedar, Douglas fir and can also be sourced in other species. These logs run in sizes from 10-inch to 20-inch diameter and can range in lengths to 30 feet. Whole log homes are built in the factory then taken apart and marked for easy on-site reconstruction. This includes all interior and exterior walls that are built of whole logs. Individual packages will be marked as to what the material is for and showing on the drawings how it is used and where in the process of construction it is to be used.
Shaped Log Home Packages
Shaped log home packages are the same as the precut packages but are built with shaped logs of Western red cedar, Douglas fir or other species as requested. These logs usually run 4 to 12 inches in thickness. Individual packages will be marked as to what the material is for and showing on the drawings how it is used and where in the process of construction it is to be used.
Wood Products will also source and supply container or truckload shipments of any building material such as lumber, wood trusses, kitchen and bathroom cabinets, pre-hung and/or finished doors and interior trim, exterior finishing materials (siding, etc.), windows, hardware and other housing components. Standard packages are designed to be affordable, easy to build and ship, and compliant with local building regulations. All packages will be built from locally approved building plans in the destination for which they will be assembled.
Wood Products is going to offer the following services: design and drafting, competitive pricing, packaging, and shipping.
Design and drafting:
Packaging:
In the first two years, the market is to be Germany and the United States. Based on the findings of Frank Bartek, through his company Bartek Hausbau GmbH, in Germany, there is a demand for wood framed homes, as they are less expensive and quicker to build (three to six months), than standard German masonry homes, which take twelve to eighteen months. In the United States, the lower Canadian dollar and the NAFTA agreement make building material packages very competitive.
Distribution Methods of the Products and Services
Distribution in Wood Products' two primary markets, the United States and Germany, will be through individual building contractors. In Germany, Frank Bartek, director of Wood Products, will coordinate the distribution network. Mr. Bartek is also the sole proprietor of Bartek Hausbau GmbH, which is a home building contracting company in Germany. For U.S. distribution, Vancouver-based Gordon Watts, President and director of Wood Products, will oversee operations. As we develop a following of small builders, we can help them offer additional services such as an informative website, design and drafting services, competitive pricing based on high volume, and after-sale service and warranty.
Shipping within North America is usually shipped on flat-decked semi-trailer trucks, which are covered by a tarp to keep the products free from weather and road grime. For overseas shipments they will be loaded into 40-foot containers. Whole log homes are placed into open top containers. All containers shipped to Europe are by sea from Vancouver, B.C., Canada or Seattle, WA.
Competition and Competitive Strategy
In past decades, packaged homes have been a small subset of the pre-fabricated home market. Pre-fabrication involves factory assembled wall panels and other components, following rigid designs supplied by the manufacturer. Packaging is different from this in two main ways: the architectural design of a packaged home is totally customized; and there is no pre-assembly of structural components.
Wood Products' market will be strictly with small builders and individual home clients. Wood Products will be able to offer the same services as a larger company.
The packaged home business is very competitive in the retail homeowner side of the business as it is also very profitable. Most companies, such as Lindal Cedar Homes, work with very high end products and supply only materials that they make themselves. Lindal Cedar Homes, like many packaged home suppliers, are very rigid on what they ship versus what the customer may want. Both Masseurs Watts and Bartek, through their companies Watts Development and Bartek Hausbau, have many years experience in sourcing and buying packaged homes from various suppliers. It is because of these experiences that they are developing Wood Products to enter this market and to be competitive.
Wood Products will be a packaging supplier that will source the material that the small builder specifies. With the individual home client (retail homeowner), Wood Products will work with them to select the materials that suit their needs at a price they can afford. Wood Products will be able to supply any kind of wood structure, such as precut packages to whole log packages. The packages can be anything from just a wood frame to a completed building. Wood Products will attempt to retain the small builder for future projects by offering a volume discount plan. Wood Products does not imagine that the individual home client will be a repeat customer. This volume discount plan will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. It will further be dependent on the volume discounts we can get from the suppliers, if any.
Sources and Availability of Products and Supplies
Sourcing of components will be based in Vancouver B.C. Canada, which is the headquarters for Wood Products and also a hub of operations for many of Canada's premier lumber manufacturers. We will also use a large number of consolidators from Vancouver, B.C., for wood and supplies.
All supplied framing lumber in Wood Products' package houses will consist of British Columbia fir, Grade II or better. Hemlock, spruce, and pine may also be included. For finishing materials, customers will have a full range of products available to choose from in the Wood Products online catalogue, at
www.woodproductscanada.com.
Sourcing and Payment Terms
Wood Products anticipates the following payment terms from our customers:
Precut and prefabricated packages
Whole and shaped log packages
These are the same financial terms that the suppliers will demand of Wood Products.
Patent, Trademark, License & Franchise Restrictions and Contractual Obligations & Concessions
There are no inherent factors or circumstances associated with this industry, or any of the products or services that Wood Products plans to provide that would give cause for any patent, trademark or license infringements or violations. Wood Products has also not entered into any franchise agreements or other contracts that have given, or could give rise to obligations or concessions.
Governmental Controls, Approvals, and Regulations
Where local government approval is necessary, the small builder will be responsible and will in most cases already be approved. This approval will be sent to Wood Products before any material is shipped.
Government regulations are not a problem on the whole. The industry is governed by local building codes, which in turn are based on engineering standards that are universal from one country to another. Energy efficient, environmentally friendly and design-oriented materials will be used in the package homes. Export standards, as set by the Council of Forest Industries, will be followed. All lumber will be #2 or better as graded by the Council of Forest Industries inspectors. Wood Products will also only ship lumber that has been kiln dried and all wane edges have been removed. Whole and shaped logs are finished to the specifications of the customer, as there are no required export standards.
Research and Development Activities and Costs
Wood Products has spent $1,339 on website development and expects to spend an additional $5,000 over the next twelve months. Most of the website development for layout, colors, links, and navigational functions have been or are being completed within the $1,339 and for the most part can be viewed at
www.woodproductscanada.com. The general public cannot view areas that are under development.
Compliance With Environmental Laws
There are no appreciable costs or effects with compliance to environmental laws.
Website Consultant
As of May 1, 2002, Wood Products has hired Gavin Froome to
design, construct and implement the website.
create and optimize graphics interface and HTML files to be uploaded onto web server.
create navigation functionality and link set up onto multiple HTML pages.
incorporate banner links to other related sites (when available).
design corporate logo.
The fee for the consultant is $50 CAD per hour as needed by Wood Products. The total amount paid as of June 30, 2002, is $2,000 CAD ($1,339 US).
Employees
Other than Wood Products' Directors and Executive Officers who are currently donating their time to the development of the Company, there are no employees of the Company. Wood Products has no intention to hire employees until the business has been successfully launched with sales revenues flowing into it. Wood Products' Officers and Directors intend to do whatever work is necessary to bring the Company to the point of earning revenues from the sale of the products. Human resource planning will be part of an ongoing process that will include constant evaluation of operations and revenue realization.
REPORTS TO SECURITY HOLDERS.
Wood Products is not required to provide annual reports to security holders. After the registration of the shares to be sold by way of this prospectus, Wood Products is expected to be fully reporting and will make available an annual report in the form of its report on Form 10-KSB, which will include audited financial statements.
Upon effectiveness of this Form SB-2, Wood Products expects to be subject to the reporting requirements of the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") and will file reports including, but not limited to, Annual Reports on Form 10-KSB, Quarterly Reports on Form 10-QSB, Current Event Reports on Form 8-K, and Proxy Statements on Schedule 14.
The public may read and copy any materials Wood Products files with the SEC at the SEC's Public Reference Room at 450 Fifth Street, N.W., Washington, D.C. 20549. The Public may obtain information on the operation of the Public Reference Room by calling the SEC at 1-800-SEC-0330. The SEC maintains an Internet site that contains reports, proxy and information statements, and other information regarding issuers that file electronically with the SEC and the address of that site is www.sec.gov.
ITEM 17. PLAN OF OPERATION
The building industry consists of two sectors: suppliers and builders. Wood Products will provide the services required to blend the supply sector with the building sector.
Wood Products plans to market its material packages through a network of small builders and individual home clients in the United States and Germany. Gaining access to this network will be accomplished by accessing the homebuilder's association lists. Some of the lists are free and fully available on the Internet, while others require a subscription. This will lessen the financial pressure on Wood Products, as there will be no need to license and train employees or to provide equipment, facilities and administrative support for a large workforce.
The website, for the next 12 months, is the cornerstone of Wood Products' marketing plan. Wood Products will attempt to drive potential customers to the website through search engines, such as
www.google.com, and by telephoning, faxing, and/or emailing the names provided by the homebuilder's association lists.
Two of the directors of Wood Products have a strong background in construction, purchasing, and packaging of building materials. Gordon Watts has been involved in construction and supply of wood framed dwellings for the past 40 years. Mr. Watts, who is based in Vancouver, B.C., will be responsible for the development of the U.S. market. Frank Bartek has been involved in the building industry for the past 20 years. Mr. Bartek, who is based in Germany, will be responsible for the development, sales, and construction of residential dwellings in Germany.
Mr. Watts and Mr. Bartek have many years of experience and contacts, which enable them to supply the services as the supply of materials, drafting, packaging, and shipping.
During the first year of operations, Wood Products will concentrate its efforts on website development and soliciting building contractors through the homebuilder's association lists. At present Wood Products is pursuing the development of a website and a catalogue of house plans that are compatible with the styles of homes in the countries of the U.S. and Germany. Wood Products has spent $1,339 on website development to June 30, 2002 and expects to spend an additional $5,000 over the next twelve months. Most of the website development for layout, colors, links, and navigational functions have been or are being completed within the $1,339 and for the most part can be viewed at
www.woodproductscanada.com. The general public cannot view areas that are under development. These areas are "what we do", "homes", and "interiors". In the first six months, Wood Products intends to develop these areas so that they can be shown on the website to the public and/or prospective customers. Wood Products will be spending the majority of the time developing the "homes" section, whereby it will be developing and cataloging detailed 3-D sketches in black and white. Once these sections are completed the website will be operational. During the second six months, Wood Products will only being doing minor "cosmetic" changes as well as adding necessary content.
In the second six months of the Plan of Operations, Wood Products will concentrate its efforts on soliciting building contractors through the homebuilder's association lists. Wood Products has budgeted $2,500 for advertising and promotion related to finding these small building contractors. It is the intention of Wood Products to attempt to generate sources of revenue during this period. During the second year of operations, Wood Products intends to be fully operational, with established sources of revenue.
At the present time, Wood Products has sufficient funds for the next twelve months of operations. This assumption is based on the fact that, as of July 31, 2002, Wood Products had cash on hand (less outstanding checks) of $41,026. As per Item 25, Wood Products intends to spend $16,525.53 related to this offering. As of July 31, 2002, approximately $12,600 of the $16,525.53 has already been spent, thereby leaving an additional $3,925.53 estimated to be spent on this offering before the budgeted expenditures of $36,000 for developing the business plan. This leaves $1,100.47 (41,026 - 36,000 - 3,925.53) for general operating expenses while Wood Products waits for this filing to become effective. However, as explained in Note 1 of the June 30, 2002, financial statements, Wood Products has no established source of revenue and has suffered an operating loss in its initial periods of operations.
Wood Products has no plans to undertake product research and development during the term covered by this registration. There are also no plans or expectations to purchase or sell any plant and or significant equipment in the first year of operations. Management also has no intention of hiring a significant number of employees during the first year of operations.

(A Development Stage Company)
We have audited the Balance Sheet of Wood Products, Inc. (a development stage company) as at March 31, 2002 and the Statements of Changes in Stockholder's Equity (Capital Deficit), Operations and Cash Flows for the period from January 8, 2002 (incorporation) to March 31, 2002. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit.
We conducted our audit in accordance with United States generally accepted auditing standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform an audit to obtain reasonable assurance whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, these financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Wood Products, Inc. (a development stage company) as at March 31, 2002 and the results of its operations, changes in stockholder's equity (capital deficit) and cash flows for the period from January 8, 2002 (incorporation) to March 31, 2002 in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles.
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 1 to the financial statements, the Company was recently incorporated, and has no established source of revenue and suffered an operating loss in its initial period of operations. This raises substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Management's plans in regard to these matters are described in Note 1. These financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

The accompanying summary of significant accounting policies and notes are an integral part of these financial statements
Wood Products, Inc.
(A Development Stage Company)
Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
(Expressed in US Dollars)
Information relating to the period subsequent to March 31, 2002 is unaudited |
|
|
|
Basis of Presentation |
These financial statements are stated in US dollars and are prepared in accordance with US generally accepted accounting principles. The Company is currently in the development stage and presents its financial statements in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standard ("SFAS") No. 7, "Accounting and Reporting by Development Stage Enterprises". |
|
|
|
The Company has selected March 31 as its fiscal year end. |
|
|
Unaudited Information |
The financial statements for the three-month period ended June 30, 2002 included herein have been prepared by the Company, without audit, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the applicable regulatory authorities. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations, although the Company believes that the disclosures are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. |
|
|
|
These statements reflect all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, which, in the opinion of management, are necessary for fair presentation of the information contained therein. |
|
|
|
The results of operations for the interim periods are not indicative of annual results. |
|
|
Use of Estimates |
The preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from management's best estimates as additional information becomes available in the future. |
|
|
Income Taxes |
The Company follows the provisions of SFAS No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes", which requires the Company to recognize deferred tax liabilities and assets for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been recognized in the Company's financial statements or tax returns using the liability method. Under this method, deferred tax liabilities and assets are determined based on the temporary differences between the financial statement carrying amounts and tax bases of assets and liabilities using enacted rates in effect in the years in which the differences are expected to reverse. |

(A Development Stage Company)
Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
(Expressed in US Dollars)
Information relating to the period subsequent to March 31, 2002 is unaudited |
|
|
|
Financial Instruments |
The Company's financial instruments consist of cash, accounts payable and accrued liabilities and a loan from a stockholder. Unless otherwise noted, it is management's opinion that the Company is not exposed to significant interest, currency or credit risks arising from these financial instruments. The fair value of these financial instruments approximate their carrying values due to the short-term or demand nature of the instruments. |
Loss Per Share |
Loss per share is computed in accordance with SFAS No. 128, "Earnings Per Share". Basic loss per share is calculated by dividing the net loss available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. There is no diluted loss per share at June 30, 2002 and March 31, 2002 because there are no common stock equivalents. |
|
|
Revenue Recognition |
The Company intends to develop its business consisting of the supply of component material packages for quality-packaged homes for export to customers worldwide. Revenues will be recognized when the products are shipped, there are no uncertainties surrounding product acceptance, there are no significant vendor obligations, the fees are fixed and determinable and collection is considered probable. |
|
|
Website Development |
Direct internal and external costs associated with the development of the features, content and functionality of the Company's website incurred during the application development stage will be capitalized. All other costs are expensed including those incurred after the date upon which the website is declared operational, except for those costs incurred in respect of significant functionality enhancements. During the three-month period ended June 30, 2002, all costs incurred related to website development did not qualify for capitalization and were charged to the Statement of Operations. |
|
|
Deferred Offering Costs |
Costs incurred in respect of a public offering are deferred. Such costs will be presented as a reduction of equity in the period proceeds are received and the shares issued. |
|
|
New Accounting Pronouncements |
In April 2002, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued SFAS No. 145, "Rescission of FASB Statements No. 4, 44, and 64, Amendment of FASB Statement No. 13, and Technical Corrections". This Statement rescinds the requirement to report gains and losses from extinguishment of debt as an extraordinary item. Additionally, this statement amends Statement 13 to require sale-leaseback accounting for certain lease modifications that have economic effects similar to sale-leaseback transactions. The provisions of this statement relating to Statement 4 are applicable in fiscal years beginning after May 15, 2002. The provisions of this Statement related to Statement 13 are effective for transactions occurring after May 15, 2002. All other provisions of this Statement are effective for financial statements issued on or after May 15, 2002. The adoption of SFAS No. 145 is not expected to have a material effect on the Company's financial statements. |

New Accounting Pronouncements - Continued |
In June 2002, the FASB issued SFAS No. 146, "Accounting for Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities". SFAS 146 nullifies Emerging Issues Task Force (EITF) Issue No. 94-3, "Liability Recognition for Certain Employee Termination Benefits and Other Costs to Exit an Activity". For purposes of this Statement, an exit activity includes, but is not limited to a restructuring as that term is defined in IAS 37, "Provisions, Contingent Liabilities, and Contingent Assets". The Statement is effective for exit or disposal activities initiated on or after December 31, 2002. Management is evaluating the impact of adopting SFAS No. 146 on the Company's financial statements. |

ITEM 23. CHANGES IN AND DISAGREEMENTS WITH ACCOUNTANTS
Wood Products has had no changes in or disagreements with the accountants.
PART II - INFORMATION NOT REQUIRED IN THE PROSPECTUS
ITEM 24. INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS
Wood Products' officers and directors are indemnified as provided by the Nevada Revised Statutes and the bylaws.
Under the Nevada Revised Statutes, director immunity from liability to a company or its shareholders for monetary liabilities applies automatically unless it is specifically limited by a company's Articles of Incorporation. The Articles of Incorporation do not specifically limit the directors' immunity. Excepted from that immunity are: (a) a willful failure to deal fairly with Wood Products or its shareholders in connection with a matter in which the director has a material conflict of interest; (b) a violation of criminal law, unless the director had reasonable cause to believe that his or her conduct was lawful or no reasonable cause to believe that his or her conduct was unlawful; (c) a transaction from which the director derived an improper personal profit; and (d) willful misconduct.
Wood Products' bylaws provide that Wood Products will indemnify the directors and officers to the fullest extent not prohibited by Nevada law; provided, however, that Wood Products may modify the extent of such indemnification by individual contracts with the directors and officers; and, provided, further, that Wood Products shall not be required to indemnify any director or officer in connection with any proceeding, or part thereof, initiated by such person unless such indemnification: (a) is expressly required to be made by law, (b) the proceeding was authorized by the board of directors, (c) is provided by us, in Wood Products' sole discretion, pursuant to the powers vested us under Nevada law or (d) is required to be made pursuant to the bylaws.
Wood Products' bylaws provide that Wood Products will advance to 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, by reason of the fact that he is or was a director or officer, of the company, or is or was serving at the request of Wood Products as a director or executive officer of another company, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, prior to the final disposition of the proceeding, promptly following request therefore, all expenses incurred by any director or officer in connection with such proceeding upon receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of such person to repay said amounts if it should be determined ultimately that such person is not entitled to be indemnified under the bylaws or otherwise.
Wood Products' bylaws provide that no advance shall be made by it to an officer of Wood Products, except by reason of the fact that such officer is or was a director of the company in which event this paragraph shall not apply, in any action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, if a determination is reasonably and promptly made: (a) by the board of directors by a majority vote of a quorum consisting of directors who were not parties to the proceeding, or (b) if such quorum is not obtainable, or, even if obtainable, a quorum of disinterested directors so directs, by independent legal counsel in a written opinion, that the facts known to the decision-making party at the time such determination is made demonstrate clearly and convincingly that such person acted in bad faith or in a manner that such person did not believe to be in or not opposed to the best interests of Wood Products.

ITEM 26. RECENT SALES OF UNREGISTERED SECURITIES
We have sold securities within the past three years without registering the securities under the Securities Act of 1933 on three separate occasions.
Wood Products sold 1,000 shares of common stock on January 9, 2002, for $1.00. The shares were issued as a private placement. No underwriters were used, and no commissions or other remuneration were paid except to Wood Products. The securities were sold in reliance on Rule 504, Regulation D of the Securities Act of 1933, since the shares were sold to one person, the current President, who had sufficient information on the Company and its finances to make an informed decision on the purchase. At the time of sale, the Company was not subject to the reporting requirements of Section 13 or 15(d) of the Securities Act of 1933, was and is not an investment company, it had a specific business plan at the time it sold the securities, it was not a blank check company, as that term is defined in Rule 419(a)(2) of Regulation C or Rule 504 (a)(3) of Regulation D of the Securities Act of 1933, and the aggregate offering price was less that $1,000,000
Between February 2002 and June 2002, Wood Products sold stock subscriptions for 2,475,000 shares of common stock at a price of $0.01 per share to 35 shareholders for a total of $24,750. No underwriters were used, and no commissions or other remuneration were paid except to Wood Products. The securities were sold in reliance on Rule 504, Regulation D of the Securities Act of 1933. All shareholders continue to be subject to Rule 144 of the Securities Act of 1933. We qualified for an exemption from registration under Rule 505 since the Company was not subject to the reporting requirements of Section 13 or 15(d) of the Securities Act of 1933, was and is not an investment company, it had a specific business plan at the time it sold the securities, it was not a blank check company, as that term is defined in Rule 419(a)(2) of Regulation C or Rule 504 (a)(3) of Regulation D of the Securities Act of 1933, and the aggregate offering price was less that $1,000,000. Please see the shareholder table found in Item 7, Selling Shareholders, above.
Wood Products sold stock subscriptions for 899,000 shares of common stock on June 3, 2002, at $.04 per share, for an aggregate of $35,960. The shares were issued in a private placement. No underwriters were used, and no commissions or other remuneration were paid except to Wood Products. The securities were sold in reliance on Rule 504, Regulation D of the Securities Act of 1933, since all stock was sold to officers and directors, who had received financial and other information on Wood Products prior to the sale. At the time of the sale, Wood Products was not subject to the reporting requirements of Section 13 or 15(d) of the Securities Act of 1933, was and is not an investment company, it had a specific business plan at the time it sold the securities, it was not a blank check company, as that term is defined in Rule 419(a)(2) of Regulation C or Rule 504 (a)(3) of Regulation D of the Securities Act of 1933, and the aggregate offering price was less that $1,000,000.

ITEM 28. UNDERTAKINGS.
The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes:
To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this registration statement:
(a) To include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act of 1933;
(b) To 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 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 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
(c) To include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in this registration statement or any material change to such information in the registration statement.
That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered herein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered hereby which remain unsold at the termination of the offering.
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to the directors, officers and controlling persons pursuant to the provisions above, or otherwise, Wood Products has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act, and is, therefore, unenforceable.
In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities, other than the payment by us of expenses incurred or paid by one of the directors, officers, or controlling persons in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding, is asserted by one of the directors, officers, or controlling persons in connection with the securities being registered, Wood Products 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 is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act, and Wood Products will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
