Item 1. DESCRIPTION OF THE BUSINESS
HISTORY AND ORGANIZATION
WESTMINSTER AUTO RETAILERS INC., (the "Company"), a developmental stage company, was organized on December 25, 1995 as Tallman Supply Corp., under the laws of the State of Delaware, having the stated purpose of engaging in any lawful act or activity for which corporations may be organized.
The Company was formed to enter the European airline industry and provide domestic air travel routes which were not operated by other carriers and which the company would be the sole operator. The Company's initial route was to be between Teesside-Belfast and London-Stansted. The Company was approached by a major pharmaceutical company in the United Kingdom and a top soccer club which suggested to the company that air service on such route was required to accommodate demand by travelers which at that time were not able to have the ability to air travel between the two cities. The Company at that point sought to become the official carrier for both these entities which it hoped would further augment its entry into the airline industry.
In August 1996, the Company sought to raise funds pursuant to a private placement to retire initial indebtedness by issuing 900,000 shares of its common stock at $0.01. The placement was exempt from Registration pursuant to Section 4(6) of the Securities Act of 1933. The Company was successful in raising $9,000.00 to pay off such debt.
The Company then sought to raise additional funding to implement its business plan. The Company however was unsuccessful in luring investors to fund the Company's development and acquisition of aircraft. Additionally, as a result of increased price competition in the UK airline industry in late 1996, the Company believed that it could not effectively compete with other established air carriers. As a result of the foregoing, the Company in October 1996 decided to seek other business opportunities and abandon its plans to operate as an airline carrier.
Thereafter in April 1997, the Company's management resigned after it was unable to locate or create other business opportunities. New management, which is the current management of the Company, were brought in to attempt to locate or create other business opportunities. The Company thereafter received an inquiry from a UK motor retailer, Mark Kass Limited, about the possibility of
conducting a merger and entering the retail auto marketplace. At that point, the Company changed its name to Westminster Automobile Retailers Inc., to better reflect the possible entry into the auto retail industry.
The Company thereafter in November 1998 entered into a preliminary agreement to acquire Mark Kass Limited. The Company at that point then again decided to slightly modify its name to Westminster Auto Retailers, Inc. This was done so that the Company name would appeal to both the USA and the UK markets, as the word automobile is not widely used in the United Kingdom. Subsequent to this name change, in January 1999, the preliminary agreement to acquire Mark Kass Limited fell through and no merger or acquisition was consummated. There is at this time no potential that the Company and Mark Kass will merge or enter into any other agreement.
The Company thereafter decided that the best method to locate another business transaction or opportunity would be to become a reporting company with the Securities and Exchange commission and to make information regarding the Company readily available to the public.
The Company is currently a developmental stage company and currently has no material operations. The directors are now determined that the Company should become active in seeking potential business opportunities with the intent to acquire or merge with such businesses which are engaged in the automotive industry.

The Company currently has no established public trading market for its common stock.
There are no plans, proposals, arrangements or understandings with any person in regard to the development of a trading market in any of the Company's securities.

Item 6.
Item 6. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The Company is a development stage company and its principal business purpose is to locate and consummate a merger or acquisition with a private entity engaged in the automotive industry.
Because of the Company's current status having no assets and no recent operating history, in the event the Company does successfully acquire or merge with an operating business opportunity, it is likely that the Company's present shareholders will experience substantial dilution and there will be a probable change in control of the Company. The Company has been seeking a candidate to consummate a merger or acquisition however at the time of the filing, no viable candidate has been located or identified. There is no assurance that the Company will be able to identify and acquire any business opportunity in the automotive industry which will ultimately prove to be beneficial to the Company and its shareholders.
Any target acquisition or merger candidate of the Company will become subject to the same reporting requirements as the Company upon consummation of any such business combination. Thus, in the event that the Company successfully completes an acquisition or merger with another operating business in the automotive industry, the resulting combined business must provide audited financial statements for at least the two most recent fiscal years or, in the event that the combined operating business has been in business less than two years, audited financial statements will be required from the period of inception of the target acquisition or merger candidate.
The selection of a business opportunity in which to participate is complex and risky. Additionally, as the Company has only limited resources, it may be difficult to find favorable opportunities. There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to identify and acquire any business opportunity in the automotive industry which will ultimately prove to be beneficial to the Company and its shareholders.
The Company will select any potential business opportunity based on management's business judgment. In the event the Company consummates a merger transaction or acquisition, the Company believes that there will be a change in control in the Company. The Company believes that any merger would include the new issuance of common stock in the Corporation to a potential merger candidate followed by a reverse split of the Company's issued common stock thereby effectively passing control of the Company to the merged candidate.
The Company may seek or target a potential merger candidate which is outside the United States. It should be noted that there are inherent risks which may arise for the Company in the event it does engage in a business transaction with such an outside entity. Factors relevant to international laws, foreign exchange rates, duties, taxation and political stability of the targeted entity's country will all be considered to determine the impact of such factors on the Company.
In the event the Company believes, in its discretion, that any of the aforementioned factors create a substantial and uncertain risk for the Company, then any business transaction with such targeted entity shall not proceed. Each targeted entity outside the United States will be evaluated on a case by case basis by the Company to consider the risks and factors inherent to consummating a business transaction with such entity.
The Company has no recent operating history and no representation is made, nor is any intended, that the Company will be able to carry on future business activities successfully in the automotive industry. Further, there can be no assurance that the Company will have the ability to acquire or merge with an operating business, develop sustaining business opportunities or acquire property that will be of material value to the Company. In this case the company will seek an acquisition or merger candidate outside of the automotive industry. In the opinion of management, inflation has not and will not have a material affect on the operations of the Company as it does not currently have any significant assets, debt or income. There is no assurance that the Company will be able to obtain additional funding when and if needed, or that such funding, if available, can be obtained on terms acceptable to the Company.
The Company will not borrow funds for the purpose of funding payments to the Company's promoters, management or their affiliates or associates. Any funds borrowed by the Company will be utilized to pay statutory, legal and accountant fees expended by the Company.
The Company does not foresee that any terms of sale of the shares presently held by officers and/or directors of the Company will also be afforded to all other shareholders of the Company on similar terms and conditions. Management does not anticipate actively negotiating or otherwise consenting to the purchase of any portion of their common stock as a condition to or in connection with a proposed merger or acquisition. In such an instance, all shareholders are to be treated equally. This policy is upheld by the inclusion of a resolution of the Board of Director's of the Company, contained in the Company's minutes. In the event management wishes to actively negotiating or otherwise consenting to the purchase of any portion of their common stock as a condition to or in connection with a proposed merger or acquisition, this would need to be disclosed to the Board of Directors and entered into the Company's minutes. The company's shareholders will be afforded an opportunity to approve or consent to any particular stock buy-out transaction or merger.
There is no present potential that the Company may acquire or merge with a business or company in which the Company's promoters, management or their affiliates or associates, directly or indirectly, have an ownership interest. Existing corporate policy does not permit such transactions, unless disclosed by the individual with such interest and consent to by the Board of Directors. This policy based upon an understanding between management and the Board of Directors.
Management is unaware of any circumstances under which this policy, through its own initiative, may be changed. In searching and targeting a merger or acquisition candidate, the Company will analyze the financial viability of a candidate along with its historic performance to ascertain the profitability of a potential candidate. Vital to this analysis shall be the financial statements of the candidate, with attention to profit/loss before taxes, and the candidates net asset value.
The Company will not consider a candidate with excessive debt or which is highly leveraged. The Company will also consider the management expertise and experience of a candidate. In the event there is a downturn in the economy, the Company believes that the automotive industry would experience a drop in sales. If this occurs at a time when the Company has not acquired or merged with an operating business or has not generate substantial revenue, then the Company will re-evaluate its plans as it believes it would not be financially sound to implement entry into the automotive industry during a downturn. The Company however may benefit from a downturn in the economy as a potential merger or acquisition candidate can be assessed with a lesser asset valuation thereby affording the company a better opportunity to consummate a business transaction.

NOTE 1 - NATURE OF BUSINESS AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
A. DESCRIPTION OF COMPANY: Westminster Auto Retailers Inc., ("the Company") is a for-profit corporation incorporated under the laws of the State of Delaware on December 29, 1995 as Tallman Supply Corp. On January 14, 1999 the Company changed its name to Westminster Auto Retailers Inc.
The Company is a development stage company and currently has no material operations. The directors are now determined that the Company should become active in seeking potential business opportunities within the automotive industry with the intent to acquire or merge with such businesses.
NOTE 2 - SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
A. BASIS OF PRESENTATION: Financial statements are prepared on the accrual basis of accounting. Accordingly revenue is recognized when earned and expenses when incurred.
B. USE OF ESTIMATES: The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect certain reported amounts and disclosures. Accordingly, actual results could differ from these estimates. Significant estimates in the financial statements include the assumption that the Company will continue as a going concern. See Note 5.
NOTE 3 - USE OF OFFICE SPACE
The Company uses office space for its executive offices at two locations. The fair market value of the 600 square foot office at 45 Mount Pleasant, Putney, London, UK is $200 per month.

NOTE 4 - LIQUIDITY
The Company's viability as a going concern is dependent upon raising additional capital, and ultimately, having net income. The Company's limited operating history, including its losses and no revenues, primarily reflect the operations of its early stage. As a result, the Company had from time of inception to May 31, 2001 no revenue and a net loss from operations of $344,595. As of May 31, 2001, the Company had a net capital deficiency of $74,350.
The Company requires additional capital principally to meet its costs for the implementation of its business plan, for general and administrative expenses and to fund costs associated with the start up of its telephone service. It is not anticipated that the Company will be able to meet its financial obligations through internal net revenue in the foreseeable future. Westminster Auto Retailers Inc., does not have a working capital line of credit with any financial institution. Therefore, future sources of liquidity will be limited to the Company's ability to obtain additional debt or equity funding. See Note 7.
