Why you are receiving this Prospectus Do you think it is time for dealers to have control over their rising technology costs? Do you need to diversify your portfolio? Are you frustrated by ADP, R+R, or DealerTrack as your choices for DMS providers? You have been recommended as either a dealer or a key individual in the automotive/truck industry with an interest in technology. DealerStar, Inc. is offering 40% of its stock to raise $4 million in a capital under Regulation D that requires that you be;

1) A natural person who has individual net worth, or joint net worth with the person’s spouse, that exceeds $1 million at the time of the purchase, excluding the value of the primary residence of such person or

2) A natural person with income exceeding $200,000 in each of the two most recent years

or joint income with a spouse exceeding $300,000 for those years and a reasonable expectation of the same income level in the current year.

A third qualification that we’d like is that you either currently own or have owned a dealership in the past – or have dealership clients. We will be counting on our investor(s) to provide us with input regarding the growth and management of DealerStar. Our company will operate like a 20 group and will have the input of our dealer investors. Our dealers will be investing over the next 4-5 years a total of 4 million and we have invested the book cost value of DealerStar of 6 million (although you'll see later in this prospectus that the market value of DealerStar is closer to 30-60 million.) $50,000 for 500 shares $100,000 for 1,000 shares $200,000 for 2,000 shares

The share price will most likely be higher in future years, but this 2014 charter investment means that you can purchase the same amount of shares next year for the 2014 price (see section 3 of the Stock Agreement at the end.) If you do qualify, then please read our prospectus if you are interested or pass it along to another dealer that you think would be interested in owning a portion of a DMS company and becoming one of our founding investor(s). If you would like to be a charter investor, please print out and sign the stock agreement in the last few pages and send your check. Easy! Any questions? Email [email protected] or [email protected].

PROSPECTUS SUMMARY This summary is not complete and does not contain all of the information that may be important to you. You should read the entire prospectus carefully, including the financial data and related notes, before making an investment decision.

Introduction Technology costs are now the #1 outside expense for dealerships. During the past ten years, the purchase of CRM, reporting, scheduling and other tools to "interface" with current deficient DMS systems that lack the technology dealers need have caused this expense to skyrocket. DealerStar's mission is to bring technology costs down by providing a fully integrated DMS with all the tools that dealers need to manage their business, increase profit, and prevent fraud. Although it might be years before we can convert YOUR dealership(s) to DealerStar (we have a long waiting list) - it might make it less painful to stay with ADP, R+R or DealerTrack if you have a long term plan to reduce your technology costs. We will make our investors our priority if they need help.

What is DealerStar DMS and CRM? DealerStar is the newest Tier 1 DMS with CRM included to hit the market and the only fully web-based DMS. DealerStar is created in PHP, JavaScript and MySQL. All the other newer DMS systems are on a bloated slow Microsoft database - that is costly to maintain. Other DMS companies have to pay high per user license fees to Microsoft or IBM – but we don’t. By having both the application and database on the same open web server, DealerStar is faster and easier to support and secure. DealerStar is mobile enabled; Dealers can access their valuable data with any browser or mobile device; iPad, Kindle, tablet PC, iPhone or Android. Dealers benefit by finally having a DMS that is easy to buy, install, and access from anywhere - and best of all - a Tier 1 DMS for the low price of a Tier 2 or Tier 3 - and designed for multi-company!

DealerStar includes everything in one low monthly price with no upfront installation or training fee; CRM, F&I and Desking, Service (with dispatching, Service CRM, daily rentals and technician terminals,) Parts (with stock orders, purchase orders) Accounting (with intercompany transactions, banking, AR, and AP,) and Payroll with HR --- and all with an integrated easy reporting tool and a “Click to Excel” from most views.

The DealerStar Patent Although other DMS companies are claiming to be web-based (DealerTrack in Automotive News advertisement,) we were granted a patent for a web-based DMS on July 23, 2013. We have another pending patent that is even more extensive. It is not in our business plan to sue the other DMS providers for royalties at this time - our goal is to bring the best DMS possible at the best price for dealers.

United States Patent 8,495,487

Jerome , et al. July 23, 2013

Web-based dealership management system

Abstract An integrated web-based dealership management system providing accounting, financial reporting, parts and service sales tracking, vehicle and parts inventory, vehicle sales tracking, and customer management software developed on a relational database on a web server and with web application tools.

The DealerStar Advantage Being a truly web-based designed DMS is a huge advantage for us. ADP and R+R are spending millions to be mobile enabled. Any page that we want to create a special mobile version for can be done by checking a box in our program generator. You can use Chrome, Firefox, Safari, or any version of Microsoft Internet Explorer. Our software is graphical, highly integrated and uses the same database for everything except our parts and labor subscriptions. This makes it fast and easy to use. If you can write a check, you can also create a parts ticket – the screens are the

same! Doing a car deal is the same type of screens as entering a repair order or ordering parts. In my first two installations I have had the controller helping the service manager learn our system because it was all the same. The timing for a new DMS provider couldn’t be better. Over the past few years many dealerships “jumped ship” from one of the very expensive Tier 1 providers like ADP and R+R into the Tier 2 or Tier 3 market. Some thought that DealerTrack/Arkona might be a great solution to the high cost and slow development of ADP and R+R, but after being purchased by DealerTrack, this system has declined in support and increased in price. Dealership employees are frustrated by the features lacking in the other Tier

Other DMS systems like DealerTrack claim to be web-based - but we now have the patent.

2 and Tier 3 systems. To fill the gaps, dealerships bought many 3rd party products and the promised savings haven’t happened or other areas have suffered such as internal controls and customer satisfaction. Productivity is extremely low in dealerships. DealerStar appeared to be very user friendly. Plus, with your background and knowledge of the industry, I’m sure it will be a huge success. The one thing that I think was especially favorable to the group was the cost. Greta-Ann Jars - Automobile Dealers Association of Greater Philadelphia

Value of DealerStar – Proceeds of the Offering

On an average, it has taken between 30-60 million to bring a new DMS company to market. We have done this for an amazing 6 million! How did we accomplish this for so little money? First of all, we built it from the ground up - instead of buying another software product and modifying it. Next, we used a program generator; PHP Runner that created an very agile development environment. Finally - when you have a DMS company run by an

accountant - you get a frugal operation. Now it is time for us to grow DealerStar. To accomplish our next phase; getting fully factory certified and develop a support/training team - we need capital. We have estimated that over the next 5 years, we'll need 4 million contributed by our dealer investors – owning 40%. We contributed 6 million of the completed code, software, patent, trademark, goodwill. The first portion of the 4 million is offered at $100 a share. We expect to raise the price to $150-$200 a share in the next few years. Please visit the References - Investors section to see a list of our current investors. For those of you unfamiliar with the cost of a DMS company, I have created some cost comparisons for you below. I’d like to say that DealerStar is worth $5 billion instead of the 6 million that have invested. Five billion is the price Bob Brockman is asking for R+R today and he paid 2.8 billion for it a few years ago! Let’s look some other DMS sales;

1) $58.9 Million - DealerTrack paid 58.9 million for Arkona. At the time, we estimated them to have about 200-350 franchised dealer clients.

2) $45 Million - ADP paid 45 million (adjusted to 56.2 million in 2012 dollars) for DealerSolutions 13 years ago – when they had less than a dozen dealers installed.

3) $39 Million. It took Quorum over 39 million to get their current stage. We can also look at a cost analysis. Our software has over 26,000 “screens” or pages and reports. Taking into account the design, programming, and testing cost of $750 a page or report that would add up to about $19.9 million in development costs. The database design of over 1100 tables and views would be another 1.650 million, and the cost of trademarks, incorporation, patent applications, and the work so far on manufacturer integration (discussed later) brings the cost value to $22.6 million.

The third test is the earnings potential. If we reach a level of 200 dealers paying an average of $2,500 a month, the revenue is 30 million over 5 years. Of course we plan on reaching a level of 2,000 dealers – so you can do the math - 300 million! In summary;

1) Based on the average of other sales $47.63 million (excluding the sale of R+R for 2.8 billion)

2) Based on a cost to have it programmed today; $22.6 million 3) Based on earning potential of 200 dealers, $30 million 4) Our current cost - only $6 million! I can't believe it cost $640 for the Obamacare

website! Ours is 1000 times more complicated and it works! Dealers often value companies solely on current earnings – except when they buy and build a new franchise point. The day you open – you have no earnings, but yet it is worth millions. DealerStar is like a new BMW or Mercedes Benz dealership; we have the “building” completed (software done) have the BMW franchise (entrance into factory integration programs) and the same potential for earnings that ADP, R+R and DealerTrack/Arkona have (each about 1 billion a year.) Rather than owning the building (software) personally and then paying us royalties in the future (like a dealer pays rent to himself,) we transferred the value of the code, trademarks and pending patents into DealerStar. Although we consider our current market value at 20-40 million or $200 - $400 a share, we will allow the 2014 investors to purchase stock at the $100 price and have an option in section 3 of the Stock Agreement at the end of this prospectus to purchase the same amount in 2015 at the lower level. The proceeds from this first offering will be used to;

1. Hire a support and programming person(s), a manufacturer integration developer to speed up our certification process, and pay the manufacturer integration certification fees so we can start installing faster.

2. Add a training/demonstration office– although we would like to stay a “virtual” company for as long as possible to control costs. It would be attractive for dealership employees to come to Florida for training and our area has a large technology employment pool to choose from – along with no personal income tax and low housing/office rent expense. It is our goal to add support personnel as

we add dealers. We are proud to say that since we formally started in business in 2007, we have filed profitable tax returns due to our careful growth plan and ability to earn income with consulting. We have no accumulated loss; only the prepaid cost of manufacturer integration as shown in the financials in a later section. It will be years before you’ll see us waste money on a big booth at NADA or huge advertisements in Automotive News. I have been able to do free “soft”

advertising of my DMS in articles and seminars that I perform. I have a waiting list of dealers that want DealerStar – so we won’t need to spend money on marketing for quite some time. I will continue to write articles and perform workshops for the value of the free promotion of DealerStar to a huge dealer database that I hope respects the ideals I promote on efficiencies and profits. By offering 40% of our stock to dealers, we will end up with 20 investors – we’ll be like a “20 Group!” You are receiving this because I want you to be involved.

DMS companies have in the past gone about the process of raising money and then farmed out the programming offshore – wasting their investor’s contributions. We did things backwards; we started in 2001 getting the trademark and finding the right tools and database. In 2006, we decided on the right platform and then installed it for beta trials from 2007-2010. We are now have 25 dealerships using portions of our software and fully installed at 2 dealerships. Our first investors so far are on DealerTrack and we will most likely give them 50% off while we perfect the extraction and conversion of DealerTrack/Arkona systems. We think DealerTrack's recent requirement to sign 4 year contracts and price increases will cause many dealers to switch in the next few years. "I think it shows professionalism and that DealerStar will fill the needs of many dealers. I'm very excited for the launch/pilot opportunity. DealerStar will sell like red ropes at the Super Bowl!" Director of Service and Business Development at a Honda Dealership

DealerStar Today As you look at our financials, you might wonder why we are doing a stock offering at this time. It doesn’t appear that we need the money. As an accountant, I have found that the best time to acquire the funding that you need is way before the moment you need the funding. We also recognize that we’re very small and we need to have some help to get through our next phase; keeping these first few installed dealers happy and developing manufacturer integration. We have created the best DMS product and gotten it successfully installed, tested and supported - but it is time to build our company and plan for our future growth. We think that having dealers as our investors will help us grow, keep prices low - and also provide a nice return for our chartered investors. We also think they will help sell our (their) system!

Cash Flow and Profit Projections* * provided on request In the Cash Flow/Profit analysis, we project that DealerStar will eventually earn about 4 million a year - and this is with only 200 clients. Of course with technology multiples exceed 15 times - this could bring the value to 60 million - or 6 times the investment. "I wish you luck and applaud you for getting into the DMS business. You are well respected in the automotive industry and it is about time that someone who truly understands dealer's pains, wants, and needs develops a product that is affordable and can work for a small dealer to a mega dealer. I wish you success!" Ken Mannell, a former Dealership Manager/Executive from Boston, Account Manager for

R+R In summary, we feel the amount we are contributing of DealerStar's code, software, goodwill, trademark and patent today is worth 6 million based on the following;

1. The software is completed, tested, and installed at dealerships; including a former R+R client and one that was on Microsoft Dynamics and unhappy.

2. Acceptance into the exclusive GM factory integration program, Chrysler, and have been certified on various completed STAR integration points. Completion of these by mid-2014. Accepted into VW and KIA program and started those on December 1st.

3. Unique, agile web-based development platform that it easy and low cost to support with a pending patent (that could have extreme value in the future – but we’re not counting on that today.)

4. Our ability to extract and convert data better than any other company from existing ADP/R+R, DealerTrack/Arknoa and about 10 other systems.

5. Sandi’s extensive client database, DMS and dealership industry knowledge, and marketing ability via articles, webinars, and seminars.

"Our cost of dealer acquisition is currently free! We have waiting list for DealerStar-we don't have advertising or sales commission costs!" I don’t know of any other DMS company that has more going for it other than the first 2 items. When we are at their level of installations and factory integration, they will not have items 3-5 and we will have a considerable advantage.

Why is there a Need for another DMS? Based on the evolution of software tools, the major 3 that have the most revenue should have migrated to their “Next Generation DMS” that would be faster, easier to use and cost less to support. Both ADP and R+R tried this and failed. ADP’s failure after purchasing Dealer Solutions was quiet and the losses absorbed. On the other hand, the failure by R+R after working with Microsoft’s John Reed (now spearheading the Dominion DMSAX project) to develop the R+R Suite product based on Microsoft

Dynamics was a huge loss of over 65 million, embarrassment, and the start of the takeover by UCS of the most beloved DMS product at the time by users; R+R ERA. This means that most of the approximately 9 major DMS systems are still 2nd generation DMS systems built on software developed in the 1980s and 1990s.

Lipstick on the Pig What we have today are the three old products from ADP, DealerTrack Arkona and R+R servicing about 78% of the new franchise dealer market. ADP has put an overlay on their product and called it either websuite or Drive. The new R+R company (former UCS) has the UCS product Power with an overlay. They named the same overlay on the former R+R ERA product, Ignite. All three try to tell dealers that this is their new web-based “Windows” system, but it is just that old Pick or IBM database with an overlay – or as I like to say in my seminars, “Lipstick on a Pig.” It is funny – one of the older tier 2 DMS systems, Auto/Mate uses this slogan to sell their system which has an overlay that is also “Lipstick on a Pig!” "A DMS system from Sandi is huge - she just tells dealers which system to buy and they buy it", former ADP sales executive with 15 years DMS experience.

Structure Problem with ADP and R+R Even though they have put an overlay on their systems, ADP and R+R still have Pick as the database. Pick which is the operating system, programming language and the database (all in one) is a very “account” - or bucket type of structure. Each module; service, parts, accounting, sales is in a separate account with their own dictionary and security routine. A user must log into accounting, then into parts, service, etc. Fields in Pick are multi-valued; for example a labor amount field will have 10 amounts in the field if there are 10 lines on a repair order. Modern databases like SQL and MySQL would have 10 lines with a single labor amount in the labor amount field. Pick has only one field type – character, which makes data validation impossible. Date fields on these systems can be 10/1/2012, 1-Sep12, etc. These three things make Pick slow and a “patchwork” of a system;

Account structure – that hampers integration between modules because they don’t share the dictionary, security, or database

• Multi-value fields make report writing and data exchange difficult • Only one type of field, no validation of data and slow searches for data

Most newer Tier 2 and 3 solutions are now on Microsoft SQL which means high licensing costs and slow performance. Only DealerStar is on MySQL which has lower licensing costs, but the great structure of a fast modern database. It was also completely designed – from the ground up - instead of modifying other software products developed for another industry.

Summary of ADP, R+R, DealerTrack/Arkona and Dominion DMSAX ADP – Old underlying technology, speed issues, mis-match of acquired technology. Often wins the bid because the other providers don’t have the integration or multi-company features required.

R+R –Challenge to support two major aging DMS products (ERA and UCS Power) and force ERA users onto Power platform with Ignite overlay. Paid a lot for R+R customers (2.8 billion) and many are unhappy or leaving. DealerTrack/Arkona – Step-child company of DealerTrack in NY with an old platform (the former System 36- IBM Ensign product used by EDS for Saturn dealers) and disconnect between two divisions (NY and Utah.) Support is decreasing and prices increasing as they cut costs. Has been winning bids from ADP and R+R by default instead of providing a better product. All new product development is going into DealerTrack tools instead of the core DMS that doesn’t earn as much as the “paper pushing” business. Their latest "upgrade" - Fusion - has the objective to join their products together to enable their sales reps to sell the DMS along with the other DealerTrack products. A recent post on a DMS forum said, " DealerTrack is not anywhere near the level of sophistication of RR or ADP, because of their relative newness." I'd like to correct that statement - the DealerTrack DMS is quite old - almost 20 years old - based on technology that is over 30 years old. The DealerTrack DMS was formally known as Arkona that started in 1992 and then purchased the Ensign (CDMS) in 2001. The Ensign DMS, based on the IBM System 36 (later IBM AS400) was started by Rich Holland and Blake Nielson in 1994 after working for Cars/Dyatron from 1980 to 1994. Cars/Dyatron developed the Cars-36 system on the IBM System 36 for EDS that was installed in Saturn and GM dealerships. That system is now terminated. I think you can connect the dots? DealerTrack DMS is an old system with "lipstick on the pig" to make it look newer. DealerTrack purchased Arkona in 2007 for close to 60 million. They will need to recoup that huge investment by increasing the fees for their DMS. DealerTrack was formed in 2001 by 3 banks; Chase, AmeriCredit, and Well Fargo to better control the flow of submission of finance contracts from dealerships to banks. Do you want to pay for a DMS owned by bankers with the objective to increase profits - or do you want to own your own DMS company - DealerStar? Dominion DMX/Microsoft Systems - This is not a joint venture with Microsoft - this only a DMS using a Microsoft tool; Dynamics AX. Dominion recently purchased ACS that is on the old Visual Fox Pro platform being terminated by Microsoft in 2015. This purchase includes the former Infonizer MSDMS group (AVAbahn) in Ann Arbor that ACS purchased a few years ago as a solution to their dying platform. This also includes some of the same players (John Reed, Richard Ward) that failed to bring the R+R Microsoft product to market and again failed with the Infonizer product as AVAbahn. This is an “automotive” version of Dynamics AX that was created in Denmark. After looking at the product, I know they have a long way to go; it is missing key pieces of a DMS, a better “Americanization” of the interface, and of course, manufacturer integration since they can’t use the same routines or certification used by the old ACS Access program. I am sure that Dominion will need to spend millions more to get it ready for market. Like most of the other newer Tier 2 and 3 providers that chose Microsoft tools (MPK, Quorum, Procede, PBS, GoldenEye) Dominion DMX will be saddled with high support costs, bloated and slow Microsoft software that was designed

for other industries. The little Tier 2 and 3 providers; Autosoft, DPC, Jarvis, DDS Dubuque, Adam, DealerBuilt, and Auto/Mate are all very old products that lack many of the features that demanding dealerships need. Their old platforms and structures prevent them from being web-based, agile, multi-dealership, and mobile enabled without costly and slow “lipstick on the pig” tools.

Could you Start your Own DMS Company? I knew a farmer that wanted to buy a dealership so he could get all his farm trucks at cost. I talked him out of that idea because owning a dealership is much more complicated than it looks. It takes many careful elements; the right product, people, and processes to be a successful dealer. The same is true with a DMS company. Could you borrow 6 million and pay some programmers to write something like DealerStar? As you might have heard, the government spent $640 million for the poorly designed website that only needs to sign up Americans for health care. Technology costs can easily get out of hand. A DMS system is a lot more complicated than knowing someone who has created a CRM tool, written accounting software before, or designed websites. So many times over the years I’ve had someone discover a new accounting or CRM product like Microsoft Dynamics, NetSuite, PeopleSoft or SAP and told me that they plan to modify it to make a DMS. The latest one is http://www.acumatica.com. I just got a call from someone who wants to combine this cloud software with a CRM product that he likes and have a DMS. When we went through features of the product, it was obvious that it wasn’t even close to what you would need to build a DMS. Both ADP and R+R tried using “off the shelf” software and modify it but lost a lot of money; over 50 million each and caused the takeover of R+R by UCS. There are thousands of little things that make a DMS different than other Enterprise software, but here are the big items;

Factory financial statement method of reporting sale and gross profit by department. Although a higher level financial report writer might be able to create this section, the mapping of various sales from the integrated sales, service and parts modules that depends on the type of customer or item being sold – is an extremely foreign concept to most standard packages. The level of customization is huge.

Schedules. Dealership accounting uses a complicated method of subsidiary ledgers called “schedules.” Most standard accounting packages have just two types; accounts receivable (people who owe us money) and payable (people we owe.) Because most of the amounts owed and due involve around a car deal, repair order, or parts ticket that are tied to a customer, these schedules are also tied to a key field. Other schedules keep those amounts by either the customer number or the stock# of the trade-in. When R+R brought out their new Suite product based on Microsoft Dynamics, they could only run schedules at night – the demand on the database was too great during the day. The Microsoft guy said we’d need to improve our business practices to not require these on the fly – instead of recognizing that we like to run schedules anytime that we want!

• Separate Invoicing Systems: DMS systems have 3 main invoicing systems;

1. Vehicle Sales and F&I which include aftermarket, reserves, insurance, doc fees, taxes

2. Repair Orders; labor, parts, other charges like shop supplies, taxes, sublet repairs

3. Parts Tickets; parts, other charges like freight, restocking fees Trying to use the single invoicing system of a standard accounting package to perform these three very distinct functions has caused converted or customized software to fail. Most try to use the standard invoicing and inventory system for the parts inventory and write modules to handle Repair orders and Vehicle sales. Each one of these sales invoicing systems has a mapping to the general ledger that then sends it to the correct sales account on the factory financial statement (required by the manufacturer’s agreement.) For example, when the dealership sells labor on an invoice and that invoice is going to be paid by the factory; the labor sale amount goes to warranty labor and the parts to warranty labor parts. Even the type of labor is divided between mechanical and body labor. Our bus dealership was on Microsoft Dynamics and their bus inventory and parts are in the same inventory database! They have to add labor to inventory to get it on the same invoice that they try to use for selling parts and repairs.

Integration with Sales, Service, and Parts. A fully integrated DMS combines your contact information from a customer database, with deal amounts, and information from the vehicle inventory database to form this “deal” that is then stored for accounting to use to post the sale into the general ledger. A typical car deal has about 20 entries into the accounting system and this interface prevents someone from having to put each amount in each account manually. During the past few years various enhancements have provided ways to increase profit;

1. Rolling back the payments to reach the customer’s budget and being able to decide whether to get more down payment, increase the trade-in value, months, rate, or lower the price of the vehicle (Desking.)

2. Providing the various options for sale like extended warranty policies and GAP insurance in a menu format (F&I menus) so the customer can select by the monthly payment the items they’d like to get. Most tier 2 and 3 providers lack F&I menus and Desking features.

3. CRM. Almost all DMS providers track prospects or leads in their systems but most can’t bring in a lead from a web provider or even the dealership’s own website. Most outgoing emails (if available) go through a DMS controlled server. ADP and R+R gave up trying to make their Prospecting system work and now propose only the big CRM product; rather their old Showroom Control module. A full-featured CRM product like ADP’s Drive/webCRM and R+R’s Contact Management provides many features. A DMS system’s biggest problem comes from the newest technology trying to communicate via email and SMS with customers. I think CRM software is the biggest value proposition today for a dealership and a huge deciding factor in picking their next DMS. It helps sell cars and service. It has become proven technology that works, although it is hard to define what CRM

software truly is, we have decided that to ensure our future by including CRM with DealerStar. Rather than spending time integrating with VinSolutions, Higher Gear, and DealerSocket, we’ll focus on giving dealers an “all in one” solution. This is the path the ADP and R+R has gone and we have an easier road because we put CRM in our design from the first day. Our first technology offering was one of the first CRM products and grew to over 200 dealerships before newer technology overshadowed us. It was the vision of a single CRM and DMS system that help us decide to develop DealerStar.

If you do try to squeeze a DMS into an “off the shelf” product, you might be able to combine it with a CRM product and then use the inventory module to sell parts – but the biggest failure will come in the lack of a service module for our industry with these features included in DealerStar but are lacking in Tier 2 and 3 providers;

1. Dispatching. Managing the technician’s time by optimizing the dispatching of the right job to the best qualified technician

2. Being able to quickly provide an Estimate and pricing for additional work “how much for that brake job?”

3. Purchase orders that tie into a repair order so that a rental or sublet work isn’t missed when the repair order is closed out. This is a feature added in the new Drive system by ADP. As a note, when ADP does add an enhanced version of their purchase orders, they will only enable it in the newest version – thus creating the need to upgrade to Drive as shown in the example in the pricing section.

4. Grid labor pricing that increases the labor rate based on the labor hours.

Standard invoicing and inventory system can normally sell parts okay, but we have 3 items in a DMS parts module that “off the shelf” product lack;

• Price escalators for both sales and ordering • Pricing matrixes based on both the customer and source • Notifications when special order parts arrive tied to the customer, repair order or

vehicle Many of these items are also missing from tier 2 and 3 providers, but some of the newer ones like Quorum and DealerStar have the advantage of better internal control of parts quantities providing a value to the dealer of less opportunity for fraud. To summarize, the reasons why trying to modify most existing accounting and enterprise software fails are;

1. The need for 3 very different but integrated invoicing, sales and inventory systems

2. Extensive subsidiary ledgers (schedules) that are controlled by a variety of key fields that vary from dealership to dealership

3. Factory Financial statement – that reports a sale from a particular customer of a particular type of a particular product to a specific sale and cost of sale account.

4. The interface with the factory. The next section discusses this in detail.

Factory Integration – the Big Challenge for an Emerging DMS About 15 years ago, I was speaking to a group of 20 dealers and after our break, they asked me to sit down and listen to them. They had decided at break that they were paying a combined 20 million a year in DMS charges and thought if they gave me that 20 million, I could write them a perfect DMS based on my knowledge of the systems. I turned them down because of the difficulty of obtaining factory certification and developing factory integration. At that time, the manufacturers had a variety of methods to receive and send information to dealerships and it was all very complicated. Shortly thereafter, a group of manufacturers got together and started standardizing the process; www.StarStandards.org. As time passed and I studied the work being done by Star Standards, I realized that this cut the R&D costs about in half. The standard XML files would make it easy to write the 10-15 interfaces for the over 20 manufacturers;

Factory Integration Core Items Some manufacturers only have a handful of integration points and others have over 20 (GM.) Here are the most demanded;

1. Financial Statement - Download monthly financial statements directly to the factory.

2. Parts Orders and Returns - Create any parts order or return and transmit it directly to the factory, quickly and easily

3. Parts Master - Receive the monthly parts master tape, which includes current and superseded parts numbers, from the factory

4. Warranty Download - Submit warranty claims to the factory electronically. 5. Vehicle History Inquiry – Submit the VIN# and receive back the warranty repair

history on the vehicle regardless of the servicing dealer 6. Vehicle Sales Report – Submit sales data about the customer with the ability to

do rebate submission – Submit for dealer and customer rebates For some manufacturers it is not required to have factory integration (Chrysler) – you can do everything on their dealer portal website. For others like Nissan, you must have factory integration – it is the only way to submit the required financial statement. For some dealers, not having factory integration makes it too hard to do business (entering warranty claims manually) and for others, the advantages are too minor to warrant paying more for a tier 1 DMS. Because these integration points already existed during our design of DealerStar, instead of creating factory integration as a separate module, we have put the integration points inside of the application. For example when you’re looking for a part in our parts inventory screen, there is a button to check the factory master or online factory availability of the part and then add it to your inventory and order it.

Factory Certification Process To become a certified DSP (Dealership Services Provider-term used by the factory instead of DMS) vendor for a manufacturer, the most common steps are;

1. Apply to be part of their certification program. For GM, this was a long process for me that involved forms, references, and a presentation to their selection committee. Although GM had recently closed their program to any new DSPs, I was able to

Page 16: PROSPECTUS - Sandi Jeromepages and send your check. Easy! Any questions? Email sandi@dealerstar.net or sandi.jerome@gmail.com. Thank you for your consideration, Sandi Jerome DealerStar,

Questions? Email [email protected] 16

convince them that there wasn’t an offering like ours; fully web-based, highly integrated with CRM as part of the core, and designed with the latest software tools by a long-time DMS expert. For us to be part of the Chrysler program it meant sending an email with a recommendation by our first Chrysler dealer. Just because you want to develop factory integration, doesn’t mean that the factory wants to accept you into their program.

2. Pick an integration point that you want to be certified for first and write your functional specs and apply to the program. For GM, this involves working during their “windows” of opportunity. We completed our financial statement certification, parts avail/info and warranty claims well within the deadline.

3. GM has an annual fee of $25,000, the rest are usually a one-time certification fee – or free like Chrysler. Our next certification will be VW and KIA that are a one –time fee of $18,000 each.

4. Submit test data as outlined in the testing process with various scenarios. 5. The factory approves the format of the test data and certifies you for that application.

We are certified financial statement, warranty claims and a portion of Parts Workbench for GM.

The following chart is the list of DSP providers in the GM certification program. You can see that my DealerStar is the last on the list – being the last one added to the program.

Financial Information As a knowledgeable investor, you are most likely painfully aware of how much DMS companies charge for their services, therefore I won’t go into a discussion of our potential client base, proforma income, and pricing – other than the section on our views of a good pricing model. Before being purchased by UCS, R+R's annual revenue was 1.4 billion! Today, ADP's revenue exceeds 10 billion - with 1.5 billion from dealers.

Profit Projections - Return on your Investment Financially, it doesn’t take much for a DMS company to be profitable. Take the amount you pay ADP or R+R monthly and multiply by 12 and then by 7000 dealers – I’ll use $9,000 a month, the average ADP or R+R billing amount;

Monthly $ 9,000 $ 2,500

Annually 12 12

Total $ 108,000 $ 30,000

Dealers 7000 300

Annual Revenue $ 756 Million $ 9 Million

Questions? Email [email protected] 17

If we charge a fraction of that amount; $2500 and only reach 300 dealers – or become only 4% as successful as ADP or R+R, that is $9 million a year in revenue – compared to $756 Million for them. We don’t need to be greedy. We don’t even need to make $9 million to provide a nice return to ourselves and our investors. Of course, ADP and R+R make a lot more revenue than $756 million – estimates are over 1 billion a year each. They also have many more sources of income other than monthly support fees; they charge for upfront licensing, training, upgrades and conversions along with the revenue they get from all their other services they provide. Our company has the same potential for growth outside of providing core DMS products. DMS companies are not like the car business that has a low net profit to sales. There are no “cost of sales” or inventory costs for a DMS company. DMS companies are not in the hardware business anymore – their fees are all pure profit items; software and services. Expenses can get high; especially R&D costs, marketing, installation, and support. It is in these areas that we have already excelled with tight management control.

DealerStar – the Difference We think we’re the best next generation DMS! Our design was done with extensive knowledge of the thousands of features of the various DMS systems, but with the low cost tools of PHP/JavaScript/MySQL- compared with the high licensing fees of the other Microsoft-based DMS systems. We used a code builder to make our modifications agile and enable a small design team. Our only problem is that we have the lowest level of manufacturer integration and client database at this point – but that is a plus for us because we can still make quick changes and stay agile. I have about 7,000 dealer clients after almost 20 years of consulting, so a built-in customer base that other companies don’t have. They must pay high marketing and sales to acquire each new customer. We did our beta testing at a Honda, GM, Chrysler, and Saab dealerships from 2008-2012 and now we’ve been fully installed for over a year at a dealership after they got a 9-day shutdown notice from R+R. We now have over 25 dealerships using portions of DealerStar with 2 using the full system (including payroll and CRM.) We handle each support email personally – and discuss together how to avoid the problem in the future with better design or training. This slow careful growth will be the biggest key to our success and customer satisfaction.

Pricing of DealerStar I’ve spent the past 20 years helping dealers get a DMS for a lower price. Here is a typical “upgrade price” for a dealer going to the new ADP Drive system. Although it is for only 30 users, I often see a price that is double or 3 times as much for the same situation. When I questioned the sales rep, he replied “sometimes they just sign and pay and we win big!” In this example below, the dealer is not getting anything new – it is their same old system with new “lipstick on the pig.” Dealers are frustrated at this pricing.

For this reason, we charge a flat amount and add more only for manufacturer integration or payroll. A typical DealerStar client would pay $1,000 - $2,500 for everything – including CRM! We are still working on the pricing and will value your input. Regardless of what we decide, we’d like to make a page on our website where dealers can “order” the software and know exactly how much the pricing will be – rather than using this complicated bidding procedure.

What if DealerStar gets bought? I think we were all shocked when UCS bought R+R for 2.8 billion and that now that Bob Brockman wants 5 billion! Automotive technology is “hot” right now for investors. Obviously our obligation is to be profitable and if we were to get an offer of $40 million in the next few years that would enable our investors to quadruple their investment – we’d have to consider it. Our long term plan is find someone in our charter investor group or future employees that could eventually buy out most of our remaining 60% stock and take over DealerStar. With no “dealer kid” ourselves, we will be keeping our eye open for an eventual exit strategy, but our plan is not to grow a company that would be gobbled up by another larger DMS, but to someday with the help of our investors to take DealerStar public and make all of us very, very wealthy. We think this product is so advanced and superior to ADP and R+R that it deserves to be the next generation DMS – and not “killed” off in order to force the hard earned client base to migrate back to an old legacy system.

Management Team Having a small team has been our biggest advantage during our five years of development. We don’t have to arrange meetings; we live and breathe DealerStar. In 2006-2007 after the disappointing entry of Microsoft into our market, we decided to design DealerStar. Over the past 5 years instead of wasting time building a company, hiring employees, finding offices and raising capital, we focused on developing and testing the software and have ended up with a small amount of debt and a fully developed DMS, built from scratch that we own 100%. In the past 5 years the interface with the factory has greatly improved, so our delay has actually worked to our advantage. By coming to the market at this time with Star Standards already being adopted, we will save millions in factory integration development costs compared to our competition. What we have already developed for Chrysler and GM integration works the same for Ford, KIA, BMW, Honda,Toyota, etc. Our current stock agreement restricts any one employee or officer to earn more than $144,000 a year. Currently we only pay Keith Jerome a salary of $72,000 and the rest on a contract basis when we need the help. Sandi Jerome still earns her salary from Sandi Jerome Computer Consulting where she does her very popular Profit Accounting Academy with Nadine. It is also a great place to find future DealerStar customers!

After studying the financials of DealerTrack DMS - Arkona, I found that part of the reason why they ended up costing close to 60 million for DealerTrack is that they would pay officer salaries of an average of $250,000 each to at least 3 or 4 people each year. They ended up in a few years of being 15 million in the hole. We don't want to spend our investors money that way - so we're a lean operation until we get the revenue to match the salaries and we'd rather spend the money investing in factory integration and other features to make our system more valuable.

Since 1995 Sand has worked as a consultant doing training, design and product consulting for most of the major DMS and CRM companies; ADP, R+R, UCS, EDS, Auto/Mate, Quorum, ACS, DPC, and Dealertrack/Arkona (partial list.)

Keith Jerome, President and Lead Programmer Keith Jerome has worked in the nuclear industry for both the Department of Defense and commercial power plants where he designed preventative maintenance programs and detailed corrective procedures for instrument and control equipment. This involved checking each program against NRC and manufacturer guidelines and keeping in mind technician and public safety. He is a Visual Basic programmer who converted to PHP for this project. He has spent the past ten years in the automotive industry teaching third parties how to interface and extract from the various DMS systems (ADP, R+R, UCS, ACS, Arkona, Adam, Auto/Mate, etc.) and developing CRM and accounting tools. A long time ago he spent a few years running a dealership's leasing company. Keith and Sandi have been married for over 30 years and it is this unusual combination of their knowledge that has led to the design of a uniform cohesive DMS system.

Nadine Epstein – Director of Customer Service Nadine, currently a consultant with Sandi Jerome Computer Consulting has had both small and large company experience. After obtaining her CGA, she embarked on a career in the Automotive and Trucking industries where she met Sandi while working at one of Sandi’s client dealerships. She later left the dealership and began consulting -- refining her skills as a dealership accountant and sharing what has become a passion for the Automotive and Trucking industry. It will be her job to make sure our users know how to best use DealerStar and are happy with DealerStar. She is great with dealers and dealership personnel. Our goal is to obtain #1 in the NADA customer satisfaction survey with the efforts of Nadine keeping our clients happy and recommending us to other dealers. She was a speaker at NADA in Orlando, 2013.

Jack Ross – Manufacturer and ADP/R+R Integration Jack has been involved with automotive dealerships since 1985. Almost from the start, he learned a hands-on approach to getting information out of the computer systems and figuring things out so that the dealership could be more productive. Starting with learning to program an IBM System/36, he moved on to personal computers, Lotus spreadsheet programming, relational database programming, Microsoft Excel, Visual Basic, and ADP dealership software. Along with ADP came the Reflection emulator that allows one to literally write programs that can automate a great deal of manual jobs and procedures found in most dealerships, from parts to service to car sales to accounting. He completed DealerStar’s GM and Saab integration of the factory financial statement and XML file output way ahead of deadline and budget estimates. He is working on the VW, Chrysler and Mitsubishi financial statements. He’s our expert (along with Keith and Sandi) at getting the data out of ADP/R+R and converting into the format we need.

Lena Washke – Accountant Sandi met Lena while they were both members of the Science and Technology group in Port Angeles. Lena was the office manager of the local plywood plant and later worked for the Port Angeles Police department before starting her own accounting practice. Realizing the need for an independent accountant, Sandi turned over the DealerStar books to Lena in 2007 and Lena retains the backup contingency plan, code, software and database.

We installed them over a year ago and they came from a Microsoft Dynamics system. The advantage of having this type of dealership on DealerStar is to test how we could handle a large multi-location location operation with a huge parts and accounts receivable that wasn't used to a standard DMS. It required extensive training of how a DMS operates. Their volume was a great test of our servers - they do 5,000 parts tickets in a few months compared to our Saab dealership that does 50. The employees use the time clock system - and service dispatching more than the Saab dealership. We have developed for them special features that no other DMS has - for example they sell many busses on the same PO to a school district - so we had to develop in F&I the ability to create 1 sales invoice for 20 vehicles. This feature will be great for fleet departments that sell to police departments, etc. Since they have so many AR
