OFFERING SUMMARY
The following is a summary of certain information contained in this Prospectus
and is qualified in its entirety by the more detailed information and financial
statements (including notes thereto) appearing elsewhere in this Prospectus.
The Company
Anthem Recording West, Inc. (the "Company") was organized as a California
corporation on January 4, 1999. Its principal office is currently located at
00000 Xxxx Xxxxxxxx Xxxxx, Xxx Xxxxx, Xxxxxxxxxx 00000. The current telephone
number is (000) 000-0000. The fax number is (000) 000-0000.
The Company was formed to be an A.S.C.A.P. registered Publishing company. The
publishing rights of a song, story, musical arrangement, or any other artistic
medium generates revenues well beyond the scope of initial public display and
sales. The rights and revenues of those vehicles are directly related to the
publishing industry. By owning the publishing rights, a company creates
tremendous income potentials with an enormously long-term scope of receiving
annuity style profit margins.
The company is a start-up enterprise in the development stage and has had no
revenues to date. (See "Proposed Business of the Company").

Selected Financial Information
The following sets forth the selected financial information as of January 31,
1999, and is qualified in its entirety by the financials appearing elsewhere in
this Prospectus. The Company's fiscal year end is December 31.
Balance Sheet Data
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Cash $0.00
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Total Assets $0.00
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Total Liabilities $0.00
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Book Value Per Share $0.00
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
4
RISK FACTORS
1. Arbitrary Offering Price. Prior to the offering made hereby, there has
been no market for the Company's Common Stock. The offering price of the Shares
has been arbitrarily determined by the Company and bears no relationship to
assets, book value, net worth, earnings, actual results of operations, or any
other established investment criteria. Among the factors considered in
determining such offering price were the Company's current financial condition,
the degree of control which the current shareholders desired to retain, and an
evaluation of the prospects for the Company's growth. The offering price set
forth on the cover page of this Prospectus should not, therefore, be considered
an indication of the actual value of the Common Stock of the Company.
2. Dilution. Investors participating in this offering will not incur
immediate, substantial dilution. See "DILUTION".
3. Lack of Market for Shares. There is no market for the Company's Shares
and there can be no assurance that such a market will develop by reason of this
offering. Upon completion of the offering, there is a possibility that even if a
market does develop, it would not be sustained. The investment community may
show little or no interest in the Shares offered; and, accordingly, investors
may not be readily able to liquidate their investment. Even if a purchaser
hereunder is able to find a brokerage firm to effect a transaction in the
securities of the Company, a combination of brokerage commissions, state
transfer taxes, when applicable, and any other selling costs may exceed the
offering price of the same.
4. No Underwriter. The Company will sell the Shares offered hereby without
the use of an underwriter. The Company may experience difficulty in completing
the sale of its Shares and if so, the Company may not be able to complete its
business plan as successfully as it might if the maximum number of Shares are
sold.
5. No Likelihood of Dividends. The Company has never paid dividends. At
present, the Company does not anticipate paying dividends on its Common Stock in
the foreseeable future and intends to devote any earnings to the development of
the Company's business. Investors who anticipate the need for immediate income
from their investment should refrain from the purchase of the Shares.
6. Potential for Future Stock Offerings. In the event the proceeds from
this Offering are inadequate to finance operations, the Company may conduct
future offerings of its securities. Such an offering would dilute the ownership
interests of investors in this offering.
5
Business Risks
7. Recently Organized Company. The Company was only recently organized and
may be considered a start-up company. The Company has no operating history and
has not conducted any significant business prior to its organization. The
Company, therefore, must be considered promotional and in its early formative
and developmental stage. Potential investors should be aware of the difficulties
normally encountered by a new enterprise. There is nothing at this time on which
to base an assumption that the Company's business plans will prove successful,
and there is no assurance that the Company will be able to operate profitably
(see "PROPOSED BUSINESS OF THE COMPANY").
8. Use of Proceeds Not Specific. The proceeds of this offering have been
allocated only generally. Proceeds from sale of Shares will most likely be
allocated to working capital or administrative expenses. Accordingly, investors
will entrust their funds with management in whose judgment investors must
depend, with only limited information about management's specific intentions.
(see "USE OF PROCEEDS" and "PROPOSED BUSINESS OF THE COMPANY").
9. Controlling Entities and Potential Conflicts of Interest. Upon
completion of this offering, the present directors and executive officers and
their respective affiliates, will beneficially own approximately 79.00% of the
outstanding Common Stock. As a result, these stockholders will be able to
exercise significant influence over all matters requiring stockholder approval,
including the election of directors and approval of significant corporate
transactions. Such concentration of ownership may also have the effect of
delaying or preventing a change in control of the Company. Management will be
engaged in transactions with the Company that will involve potential conflicts
of interest. In addition, the officers are not required to devote all of their
time and energies to the business and affairs of the Company.
10. Competition. There are numerous corporations, firms, and individuals
that are engaged in the type of business activities contemplated by the Company.
Many of those entities are more experienced and possess substantially greater
financial, technical, and personnel resources than the Company. While the
Company hopes to be competitive with other similar companies, there can be no
assurance that such will be the case.
6
DILUTION
Dilution is a reduction in the net tangible book value of a purchaser's
investment measured by the difference between the purchase price and the net
tangible book value of the Shares after the purchase takes place. The net
tangible book value of Common Stock is equal to stockholders' equity applicable
to the Common Stock as shown on the Company's balance sheet divided by the
number of shares of Common Stock outstanding. As a result of such dilution, in
the event the Company is liquidated, a purchaser of Shares may receive less than
his initial investment and a present stockholder may receive more.
The net tangible book value of the Company's Common Stock as of January 31, 1999
was $0.00 per share. After giving effect to the receipt of estimated net
proceeds of $105,000 thousand dollars from the sale by the Company of 2,100,000
shares of Common Stock the pro forma net tangible book value would then be
$105,000 thousand dollars or $0.0105 per share of Common Stock. This represents
an immediate increase in net tangible book value of $0.0105 per share of Common
Stock to existing holders of Common Stock from the proceeds of the Offering and
substantial dilution to the new investors (i.e., the difference between the
assumed initial offering price of $0.05 per share of Common Stock and the pro
forma net tangible book value per share) of $0.0395 per share of Common Stock.
USE OF PROCEEDS
The net proceeds of the offering will be $105,000. The principal purposes and
priorities in which proceeds are to be used are as set forth below:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Gross Amount of Proceeds: $105,000.00 100.0%
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Accounting Fees 2,000.00 1.90
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Stock Transfer Agent 2,000.00 1.90
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Travel Expenses 2,500.00 2.38
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Incorporation Expenses 3,000.00 2.87
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Multimedia Promotions 5,000.00 4.76
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Musician Talent Search 5,000.00 4.76
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Song Production 5,000.00 4.76
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Consulting Fees 7,500.00 7.15
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Legal Fees 10,000.00 9.52
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Salaries 12,000.00 11.43
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Purchase of Existing Business 51,000.00 48.57
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Total $105,000.00 100.0%
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The amounts set forth above merely indicate the proposed use of proceeds. Actual
expenditures may vary substantially from these estimates depending upon economic
conditions and the production and sale of the products and services provided by
the Company. Accordingly the Company reserves the option to seek additional
funds through loans, other offering of the Company's securities or other
financial arrangements.

PROPOSED BUSINESS OF THE COMPANY
History and Organization
Anthem Recording West, Inc. (the "Company") was organized as a California
corporation on January 4, 1999. Its principal office is currently located at
00000 Xxxx Xxxxxxxx Xxxxx, Xxx Xxxxx, Xxxxxxxxxx 00000. The current telephone
number is (000) 000-0000. The fax number is (000) 000-0000.
The Company
The Company was formed to be an A.S.C.A.P. registered Publishing company. The
publishing rights of a song, story, musical arrangement, or any other artistic
medium generates revenues well beyond the scope of initial public display and
sales. The rights and revenues of those vehicles are directly related to the
publishing industry. By owning the publishing rights, a company creates
tremendous income potentials with an enormously long-term scope of receiving
annuity style profit margins.
The Company is a start-up enterprise in the development stage and has had no
revenues to date.
Business of the Company
The Company is in the business of publishing. While tens of thousands of
musicians write and produce wonderful music of all types, only a small handful
will ever reach the ears of the individuals that can give the musician an actual
recording contract so that their material can be sold in the public market
place. Anthem recording, for a percentage of publishing rights of the songs they
chose, will introduce unknown acts to individuals and companies in the music
industry and attempt to create contacts relating to record sales and even longer
income streams through publishing.
While standard methods of locating musical talent will be used by Anthem
Recording West, there will also be a strategic alliance with up and coming
quality stage three studios. These type of studios are usually one step away
from reaching Mix magazine features, which is the industry standard for quality
music being produced in the United States. The advantage of alliances across the
country give Anthem Recording West the opportunity of reviewing the best quality
of new music and fresh musicians that are candidates for publishing contracts.
Market
Anthem Recording West will use its present industry contacts, while establishing
new contacts, to promote fresh music and talented musicians. By owning the
publishing rights in the earliest phase, we maximize our opportunity for
profits.
8
Competition
Management has found that there are other similar businesses that exist. While
competition is formidable in every industry, the music business seems to be
especially fierce. Except for the publishing side. Most groups have mistakenly
concluded that only the major labels such as Sony and R.C.A. already own all the
available publishing rights. Nothing could be further from the truth. The market
is wide open for small and medium size publishing companies to take advantage of
the ever growing plethora of talented musicians and music.
Management
The directors and executive officers of the Company are as follows:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Name Position
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Xxxxx Xxxxx President
Member of the Board of Directors
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Xxxxxxx Xxxxxxxxx Vice President
Member of the Board of Directors
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Xxxxx X. Xxxxxxx Secretary & Treasurer
Member of the Board of Directors
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The directors named above will serve until the first annual meeting of the
Company's shareholders. Thereafter, directors will be elected for one-year terms
at the annual shareholders' meeting. Officers will hold their positions at the
pleasure of the Board of Directors, absent any employment agreement, of which
none currently exist or are contemplated.
The directors and officers initially will devote their time to the Company's
affairs on an "as needed" basis, the amount of which is undetermined at this
time. Such time could amount to as little as ten percent of the time they devote
to their own business affairs.
There are no other persons whose activities are material to the Company's
operations.
Compensation
The Board of Directors has adopted a salary compensation for the Directors and
Officers of the Company. For six months, both Xxxxx Xxxxx and Xxxxx Xxxxxxx will
receive salaries of $1,000.00 per month. After six months of conducting
business, the financial condition of the Company will dictate the compensations
of the President, Vice President, Secretary/Treasurer and any other Officers and
Directors, plus the Company will reimburse its officers and directors for any
out-of pocket expenses incurred on behalf of the Company. The Company does not
have any pension, profit-sharing, stock bonus, or other benefit plans. Such
plans may be adopted in the future at the discretion of the Board of Directors.
9
Indemnification and Exclusion of Liability of Directors and Officers.
So far as permitted by the California Business Corporation Act, the Company's
Articles of Incorporation provide that the Company will indemnify its directors
and officers against expenses and liabilities they may incur and defend, settle
or satisfy any civil or criminal action brought against them on account of their
being or having been Company directors or officers unless, in any such action,
they are adjudged to have acted with gross negligence or to have engaged in
willful misconduct. Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as
amended, (collectively, the "Acts") may be permitted to directors, officers or
controlling persons pursuant to foregoing provisions, the Company has been
informed that, in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission, such
indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Acts and is,
therefore, unenforceable.
RESUMES

CONFLICTS OF INTEREST
Initially, none of the officers of the Company will devote 100% of their time to
the affairs of the Company. All of the officers have employment or business
activities outside of the Company. There will be occasions when the time
requirements of the Company conflict with the demands of the officers' other
employment. In this event, such conflicts may require that the Company attempt
to employ additional personnel. There is no assurance that the services of such
persons will be available or that they can be obtained upon terms favorable to
the Company.
The Company's officers and directors are subject to the doctrine of corporate
opportunities only insofar as it applies to business opportunities in which the
Company has indicated an interest, either through its proposed business plan or
by way of an express statement of interest contained in the Company's minutes.
No such indication of interest has yet been declared. If such areas of interest
are delineated, all business interests which may conflict with those of the
Company which come to the attention of an officer and/or director of the Company
must be promptly disclosed to the Board of Directors and made available to the
Company. In the event the Board shall reject an opportunity so presented, and
only in that event, any of the Company's officers and directors may avail
themselves of such an opportunity. Every effort will be made to resolve any
conflicts that may arise in favor of the Company. There can be no assurance,
however, that these efforts will be successful.

Description of Securities
The Company is offering 2,100,000 Shares (the "Shares") in this offering at a
price of $0.05 per share. The Company is authorized to issue 50,000,000 shares
of its Common Stock, $0.001 par value. Each share of Common Stock is entitled to
share pro rata in dividends and distributions with respect to the Common Stock
when, as and if declared by the Board of Directors from funds legally available
therefore. No holder of any shares of Common Stock has any pre-emptive right to
subscribe for any of the Company's securities. Upon dissolution, liquidation or
winding up of the Company, the assets will be divided pro rata on a
share-for-share basis among holders of the shares of Common Stock after any
required distribution to the holders of the preferred stock. All shares of
Common Stock outstanding are fully paid and non-assessable and the shares will,
when issued upon payment therefore as contemplated hereby, be fully paid and
non-assessable. Each shareholder of Common Stock is entitled to one vote per
share with respect to all matters that are required by law to be submitted to
shareholders. The shareholders are not entitled to cumulative voting in the
election of directors. Accordingly, the holders of more than 50% of the shares
voting for the election of directors will be able to elect all the directors if
they choose to do so.
PRICING THE OFFERING
There is no market for the Shares. Although the Company plans to try and develop
a market for the shares, there is no assurance that a market will develop for
such following the offering. The offering price of the Shares to be sold in the
offering was determined by the Company. In determining the offering price and
number of Shares to be offered, the Company considered such factors as the
financial condition of the Company, its net tangible book value, lack of
operating history, and general condition of the securities markets. Accordingly,
the offering price set forth on the cover page of this Prospectus should not be
considered to be an indication of the book value of the stock. The price bears
no relation to the Company's assets, book value, lack of earnings or net worth
or any other traditional criterion of value. Even in the event a market develops
for the Common Stock of the Company, it is unlikely that normal market forces
will result in a price increase of the Common Stock.
12
LITIGATION
The Company is not presently a party to any litigation nor, to the knowledge of
Management, is any litigation threatened.
