PART I - ITEM 1. DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS
BUSINESS DEVELOPMENT
Winfield Financial Group, Inc. was founded under the
laws of the state of Nevada on May 2, 2000.
Winfield intends to operate as a business broker, primarily
representing sellers and offering its clients' businesses
for sale. It will be limiting its business to asset sale
transactions and not transactions in which businesses are
sold through the sale of stock, which will be disclosed on
our website. In other words, the company may list all or
substantially all of its assets for sale. It may not sell
its business through the sale of stock. As such, the buyers
will not acquire any of the outstanding securities of a
business in conjunction with the asset purchase. Upon a
sale of all or substantially all the asses of a business,
the shareholders of that business will continue to own all
the shares of a shell corporation. Further, it would be
likely that the seller corporation would be required under
state law to obtain shareholder approval for such sale.
A buyer who is purchasing all or substantially all of the
assets of a business in these asset purchase transactions
may give to the seller a promissory note secured by the
assets being acquired as partial consideration for the
purchase of the assets. The notes will not be convertible.
Winfield intends to advertise its clients' companies assets
for sale through a variety of media, including the internet,
newspapers and trade journals.
We have conducted our operations since May 2, 2000. We are
a development stage company. For the period from inception
to March 31, 2003, we generated no revenues and had a loss
of $120,893. We had $6,813 of cash available as of March
31, 2003.Nevertheless, our management has significant
experience in the business brokerage business in which we
intend to engage.
Since our inception we have devoted our activities to
the following:
Obtaining required licenses
During 2002 and into 2003 we are in the process of
applying for the Nevada real estate license and have
researched the required licenses in California, where we
anticipate commencing operations, and have also
researched requirements with Utah and Arizona where we
next anticipate commencing operations. All of these
states have no separate business brokers' licenses;
instead they require business brokers to be licensed real
estate brokers. These applications for California, Utah
and Arizona will be filed in late 2003.
We have scheduled an associate to obtain California Real
Estate license, required for business brokers in California,
in on or before December 2003. We received our Nevada Real
Estate license in June 2003. We are currently researching
whether a Broker or a Corporate Broker license is required.
PAGE-3-
As we have not yet been granted the requisite licenses,
we have not represented any sellers or buyers to date.
Further, we will not retain securities broker-dealers in
pursuit of our business plan.
Locating facilities
Since our inception we have shared office space with
Financial Marketing, Inc. During this time we have
actively reviewed building sites and existing buildings
from 10,000 square feet to 30,000 square feet but have
not identified any location for acquisition.
Developing information systems/Marketing program
Our computer programmers have developed the design of
the WFG information management system for the past 2
years. We will use this system to identify potential
clients, typically sellers, and manage our business.
This system also keeps track of buyers who respond to
our advertising of business listings that we have for
sale. Our information management system continues to be
reviewed and improved since our 2000 inception. We use
the information management system primarily to build
and manage our database of potential clients.
We intend to utilize marketing sources as provided by
such entities as Wall Street Journal, Duns Marketing
(Duns & Bradstreet), Nation-List International
(www.nationlist.com), International Business Brokers
International (www.ibba.org), Property-Line
(www.propertyline.com), Commercial Marketing Group
(www.cmglv.com), www.bizbuysell.com, and
www.businessesforsale.com. As we are not able to
solicit clients until we have our license, we have not
yet subscribed to these services.
We will attempt to secure businesses in these lists as
clients by contacting them by e-mail, fax, telephone or
regular mail. In addition, we will contact other
brokers who may have clients we can represent.
Recruiting personnel
We began seeking qualified business brokers throughout
the Southwest in 2001 to become associated with us. We
have been contacting brokers through International
Business Brokers Association who are in the general
geographical areas such as San Diego, San Francisco,
Phoenix, Salt Lake City. These candidates have either
business brokerage experience or a background in
business, financial interpretation and sales.
Negotiations are on-going with several candidates.
PAGE-4-
Developing purchase, sale and related documents
The forms and documents for business purchase, sale and
related documents have been developed from established
business brokerage forms. The California Real Estate
licensing entities have approved the forms and
documents for California and Nevada business sales.
Developing our website
We have a website providing basic information about our
business on one page currently operational at
www.winfieldfinancialgroup.com. Nothing on that
website is part of this registration statement.
Additional content and features will be added when we
receive our licenses required to commence operations,
including:
* Listings of businesses for sale including a simple
summary of the inventories, equipment, general
financial information and sales price for each
business listing
* Information concerning basic procedures of selling,
tips on organizing a business to sell, general
methods of estimating approximate sales price and a
business survey to begin the process.
* Information concerning our management and brokers
When we commence active operations, Winfield Financial
Group, Inc. will offer our clients and customers the
following services.
* We intend to operate as a business broker, primarily
representing sellers and offering our client's businesses
as an asset sale. We will advise our clients concerning
negotiating terms of these sales but the responsibility for
negotiating these terms will remain with the client. Although
we do provide business valuation services as described below,
we will not provide these services in connection with our
representation of sellers in the sale of their businesses.
Further, we will not assist buyers in obtaining financing.
We will focus on business transactions with a sales volume
range from $5 to $75 million in revenues.
* We will also provide, on an infrequent basis, buyer
services to include, but not limited to, buyer-broker
agreements and individual business searches, consulting,
and negotiations in asset sale transactions.
Our revenues are primarily generated from receipt of fees
based on the price of a completed business asset sale
transactions.
PAGE-5-
Our fee structure will be as follows:
* Five percent of the first two million dollars of a
transaction's total sales price; plus
* Four percent of the second two million dollars of a
transaction's total sales price; plus
* Three percent of the third two million dollars of a
transaction's total sales price; plus
* Two percent of the fourth two million dollars of a
transaction's total sales price; plus
* One percent of a transaction's total sales price
thereafter.
When we represent buyers, although infrequently, we will
generate revenues from receipt of fees on the same schedule
as above.
In addition, we intend to offer business valuations as a
special consulting service for buyers and sellers.
The fee for each business appraisal will be based on the
scope of the engagement, as follows
* Letter of Valuation $800
* Letter of Valuation and Backup Financials $2,600
* Letter of Valuation, Backup Financials and Demographics $6,000
Further, we intend to offer business consulting services in
the area of assisting clients to obtain approval from major
automobile and truck manufacturers for the transfer of a
dealership.
Business valuation and business consulting services do not
require state licensing. Thus, we can commence providing
these services while we are waiting for our business broker
licensing requirements to be met.
Development Activities
We expended approximately $40,000 during year ended
December 31, 2000 and nothing in year ended December 31,
2001 on development activities.
Competition
We face competition from numerous business brokerage
companies, some of which are more established, benefit from
greater market recognition, have greater financial and
marketing resources, and a broader geographical base than
us. Our market is intensely competitive, highly fragmented
and subject to rapid technological change. We expect
competition to persist and intensify in the future. This
competition may diminish our market share or our ability to
gain entry into certain markets.
PAGE-6-
Our current and potential competitors are primarily local
offices of larger, more established organizations, such as:
* Nevada First Business Brokers
* Webster Business Group
* Sunbelt Business Brokers
Although unlike these companies, we are a development stage
company; however we intend to compete with these local
offices of larger, more established business brokerage firms
through the extensive background and experience of our
management in this industry.
Regulation
Under Nevada law, business brokers are required to obtain a
Nevada real estate broker license, even though we do not
intend to be involved in the offer and sale of real estate
other than in connection with the sale of a business. We
will operate under and are in the process of obtaining a
Nevada real estate broker license. As such, under relevant
Nevada law and regulations, we will be required to have and
maintain a definite place of business within the state,
which must be a room or rooms used for the transaction of
real estate business, or such business and any allied
businesses, and which must serve as the office for the
transaction of business under the authority of the license,
and where the license must be prominently displayed. We
will also be required to comply with all licensing,
disclosure and other regulations governing the operation of
real estate brokerage firms in Nevada and other states in
which we may in the future operate. California, Utah and
Arizona have comparable laws.
We received our Nevada Real Estate license in June 2003.
Employees
We currently do not have any full time employees at this
time and pay for clerical assistance as required along with
the rent of $400.00 to FMI.
Reports to Shareholders
As a result of this filing, we will become subject to the
information and reporting requirements of the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934 and will file periodic reports, proxy
statements and other information with the Securities and
Exchange Commission.

RISK FACTORS
Our poor financial condition means that you will be unable
to determine whether we will become profitable. If we do
not generate operating revenues or raise funding from other
sources, we will have to cease operations in August 2003.
We have conducted our operations since May 2, 2000. We are
a development stage company. For the period from inception
to March 31, 2003, we generated no revenues and had a loss
of $120,893. We had $6,813 of cash available as of March 31,
2003. Until we secure our real estate licenses, we anticipate
expenses of a maximum of $1,195 per month, comprised
primarily of printing costs of $290, on going computer
programming and testing of $450, rent of $400 and website
expenses of $55 consisting of hosting fees. With these
overhead expenses and working only as consultants and without
the real estate licenses we can continue operations for
approximately 7 months of operations without additional funds
through October 2003. We estimate these expenses to increase
to $4,700 per month after we secure our real estate licenses
primarily due to expenses associated with marketing our
services to potential clients and referring brokers. Obtaining
the real estate licenses in Nevada will allow operations to
continue through August 2003. Thereafter, we will need to
generate operating revenues or secure other funding in the
amount of $32,900 to remain operational until April 1, 2004.
There are no preliminary or definitive agreements or
understandings with any party for such financing.
Further, in order to become profitable, we may still need to
secure additional debt or equity funding. If it becomes
necessary, we hope to be able to raise additional funds from
an offering of our stock in the future. However, this
offering may not occur, or if it occurs, may not raise the
required funding. There are no preliminary or definitive
agreements or understandings with any party for such
financing.
PAGE-8-
Our ability to continue as a going concern is dependent on
our ability to raise funds and generate revenues to
implement our planned development; however we may not be
able to raise sufficient funds or generate revenues to do
so. Our independent auditors have indicated that here is
substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going
concern over the next twelve months. Our poor financial
condition could inhibit our ability to achieve our business
plan, because we are currently operating at a substantial
loss with no operating history and revenues, an investor
cannot determine if we will ever become profitable.
Because our planned growth is contingent upon receiving
additional funding, you will be unable to evaluate whether
our business will be successful.
Our business development is contingent upon raising
debt or equity funding. We have no sources of funding
identified. You must consider the risks, difficulties,
delays and expenses frequently encountered by
development stage companies in our business, which have
little or no operating history, including whether we
will be able to overcome the following challenges:
* Inability to raise necessary revenue to operate for the
next 12 months or thereafter
* Advertising and marketing costs that may exceed our
current estimates
* Unanticipated development expenses
* Our ability to generate sufficient revenues to offset
the substantial costs of operating our business
Because significant up-front expenses, including
advertising, sales, and other expenses are required to
develop our business, we anticipate that we may incur losses
until revenues are sufficient to cover our operating costs.
Future losses are likely before our operations become
profitable. As a result of our lack of operating history,
you will have no basis upon which to accurately forecast
our:
* Total assets, liabilities, and equity
* Total revenues
* Gross and operating margins
* Labor costs
Accordingly, the proposed business plans described in
this registration statement may not either materialize
or prove successful and we may never be profitable.
Also, you have no basis upon which to judge our ability
to develop our business and you will be unable to
forecast our future growth.
PAGE-9-
Our officers and directors can exert control over matters
requiring stockholder approval.
Our officers and directors beneficially own approximately
73.37% of our outstanding common stock. These individuals
will be able to significantly influence all matters
requiring approval by our stockholders, including the
election of directors and the approval of significant
corporate transactions. This concentration of ownership may
also have the effect of delaying, deterring or preventing a
change in control and may make some transactions more
difficult or impossible without the support of these
stockholders.
Robert W. Burley, our president and treasurer, and Mark
Johnson, our vice president, make our management decisions;
if we lose their services, our revenues may be reduced.
Robert W. Burley, our President and Treasurer, and Mark
Johnson, our Vice President have managed our business. The
success of our business is dependent upon the expertise of
Robert W. Burley and Mark Johnson. Because Robert W. Burley
our and Mark Johnson are essential to our operations, you
must rely on their management decisions. We have not entered
into any agreement with Robert W. Burley and Mark Johnson
that would prevent them from ceasing to provide services to
our company, nor have we obtained any key man life insurance
relating to them. If we lose their services, we may not be
able to find management with comparable experience. As a
result, the loss of Robert W. Burley's or Mark Johnson's
services could reduce our revenues.
We are authorized to issue preferred stock which, if issued,
may adversely affect or reduce the market price of our
common stock.
Our directors are authorized by our articles of
incorporation to issue shares of preferred stock without the
consent of our shareholders. Our preferred stock, when
issued, may rank senior to common stock with respect to
payment of dividends and amounts received by shareholders
upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up. Our directors
will set such preferences. The issuance of such preferred
shares and the preferences given the preferred shares, do
not need the approval of our shareholders. The existence of
rights, which are senior to common stock, may reduce the
price of our common shares. We do not have any plans to
issue any shares of preferred stock at this time.
Because our common stock may considered a penny stock, our
common stock is considered a high-risk investment and is
subject to restrictions on marketability; you may be unable
to sell your shares.
If our common stock becomes tradable in the secondary
market, we may be subject to the penny stock rules adopted
by the Securities and Exchange Commission that require
brokers to provide extensive disclosure to its customers
prior to executing trades in penny stocks. These disclosure
requirements may cause a reduction in the trading activity
of our common stock, which in all likelihood would make it
difficult for our shareholders to sell their securities. For
additional details concerning the disclosure requirements
under the penny stock rules, see the section entitled Penny
Stock Considerations below.
PAGE-10-
Certain Nevada corporation law provisions could prevent a
potential takeover of us which could adversely affect the
market price of our common stock or deprive you of a premium
over the market price.
We are incorporated in the State of Nevada. Certain
provisions of Nevada corporation law could adversely affect
the market price of our common stock. Because Nevada
corporation law requires board approval of a transaction
involving a change in our control, it would be more
difficult for someone to acquire control of us. Nevada
corporate law also discourages proxy contests making it more
difficult for you and other shareholders to elect directors
other than the candidate or candidates nominated by our
board of directors. Our articles of incorporation and by-
laws contain no similar provisions.
Shares eligible for future sales under Rule 144 if sold
could reduce the market price of our shares.
There are 1,294,150 shares of our common stock held by
non-affiliates and 3,600,000 shares of our common stock
held by affiliates that Rule 144 of the Securities Act of
1933 defines as restricted securities. No shares have
been sold pursuant to Rule 144 of the Securities Act of
1933. Of the shares owned by non-affiliates, all were
sold in an offering registered with the State of Nevada
and thus may be transferred free of any restrictions.
The remaining shares have been held for at least one year
may be resold under Rule 144
In general, under Rule 144 as currently in effect, any of
our affiliates and any person or persons whose sales are
aggregated who has beneficially owned his or her restricted
shares for at least one year, may be entitled to sell in the
open market within any three-month period a number of shares
of common stock that does not exceed 1% of the then
outstanding shares of our common stock. Trading volume in
the common stock during the four calendar weeks preceding
such sale. Sales under Rule 144 are also affected by
limitations on manner of sale, notice requirements, and
availability of current public information about us. Non-
affiliates who have held their restricted shares for two
years may be entitled to sell their shares under Rule 144
without regard to any of the above limitations, provided
they have not been affiliates for the three months preceding
such sale.
As a result of the provisions of Rule 144, all of the
restricted securities could be available for sale in a
public market, if developed, 90 days after this registration
statement becomes effective, November 25, 2002. The
availability for sale of substantial amounts of common stock
under Rule 144 could reduce prevailing market prices for our
securities.

SPECIAL INFORMATION REGARDING FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS
Some of the statements in this registration statement are
"forward-looking statements." These forward-looking
statements involve certain known and unknown risks,
uncertainties and other factors which may cause our actual
results, performance or achievements to be materially
different from any future results, performance or
achievements expressed or implied by these forward-looking
statements. These factors include, among others, the
factors set forth above under "Risk Factors." The words
"believe," "expect," "anticipate," "intend," "plan," and
similar expressions identify forward-looking statements. We
caution you not to place undue reliance on these forward-
looking statements. We undertake no obligation to update
and revise any forward-looking statements or to publicly
announce the result of any revisions to any of the forward-
looking statements in this document to reflect any future or
developments. However, the Private Securities Litigation
Reform Act of 1995 is not available to us as a non-reporting
issuer.
PART I - ITEM 2. PLAN OF OPERATIONS
Winfield Financial Group, Inc. was founded under the
laws of the state of Nevada on May 2, 2000.
Since our inception we have devoted our activities to
the following:
* Raising capital;
* Establishing our business brokerage business; and
* Developing markets for the services we offer.
We intend to act primarily as a business broker, exclusively
representing sellers and advising buyers desiring to acquire
businesses. We will target sellers looking to sell their
private companies with a sales volume range from $5 to $75
million in revenues.
We have conducted our operations since May 2, 2000. We are
a development stage company. For the period from inception
to March 31, 2003, we generated no revenues and had a loss
of $120,893. We had $6,813 of cash available as of March 31,
2003. Until we secure our real estate licenses, we
anticipate expenses of a maximum of $1,195 per month,
comprised primarily of printing costs of $290, on going
computer programming and testing of $450, rent of $400 and
website expenses of $55 consisting of hosting fees. With
these overhead expenses and working only as consultants and
without the real estate licenses we can continue operations
for approximately 7 months of operations without additional
funds through October 2003. We estimate these expenses to
increase to $4,700 per month after we secure our real estate
licenses primarily due to expenses associated with marketing
our services to potential clients and referring brokers. We
anticipate we will obtain our real estate licenses July 2003.
Obtaining the real estate licenses will allow operations to
continue through August 2003. Thereafter, we will need to
generate operating revenues or secure other funding in the
amount of $32,900 to remain operational until April 1, 2004.
There are no preliminary or definitive agreements or
understandings with any party for such financing.
There are no preliminary or definitive agreements
or understandings with any party for such financing.
PAGE-12-
We can currently generate revenues through business
valuation and business consulting services. As we received
our real estate license in Nevada, we can generate revenues
from our planned business broker activities.
We raised $77,206 in net proceeds from a Nevada state
registered offering in July 2002. After payment made to
GoPublicToday.com in the amount of $48,410, we are using
the remaining $20,036 in funds to implement our business

[1] We will recruit sales associates who have real estate
licenses to list and sell our businesses. It is anticipated
that a maximum of five sales associates will be recruited in
2003 who may possibly be members of Nation-List
International, International Business Brokers Association
or other like-kind professional business broker
organizations.
[2] Nationlist International, International Business Brokers
Association, and Dun and Bradstreet Marketplace list
potential businesses that may be our clients. We will
obtain information from these sources by purchasing the
information from these sources and place it in our database
once we become licensed. We will not have any formal
contracts, agreements or commitments with these
organizations, other than merely purchasing their lists for
use by us. We will not have any exclusive arrangements with
these organizations. We will not list businesses for sale
on websites maintained by these organizations. We will
attempt to secure these businesses as clients by contacting
them by e-mail, fax, telephone or regular mail. In
addition, we will contact other brokers who may have clients
we can represent. These businesses are free to list their
assets on other websites or with other entities after we
acquire the lists.
In order to become profitable, we will still need to secure
additional debt or equity funding. We hope to be able to
raise additional funds from an offering of our stock in the
future. However, this offering may not occur, or if it
occurs, may not rise the required funding. There are no
preliminary or definitive agreements or understandings with
any party for such financing.

Our ability to continue as a going concern is dependent on
our ability to raise funds to implement our planned
development; however we may not be able to raise sufficient
funds to do so. Our independent auditors have indicated that

If any of the steps above are not completed as presented in
the preceding milestone table, it could delay the overall
schedule and eliminate or reduce 2003 revenues.
PART I - ITEM 3. DESCRIPTION OF PROPERTY
We occupy 400 square feet of office space located at 2770
S. Maryland Parkway, Suite 402, Las Vegas, Nevada 89109.
Our telephone number is (702) 731-0030. We began leasing
space from Financial Marketing, Inc. in July 2002 on a
month to month lease basis at the rate of $400.00 per

We believe that our facilities are adequate to meet our
current needs. However, as we continue to implement our
business plan, we may need to relocate our headquarters

to meet our development and expansion needs in existing and
projected target markets for the foreseeable future.

PART I - ITEM 7. CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED
TRANSACTIONS
Winfield Financial Group does not own any real or personal
property. Financial Marketing, Inc. has provided office
services at a monthly fee of $400.00 on a month to month
basis .
The officers and directors are involved in other business
activities and most likely will stay involved in other
business activities in the future. If a specific business
opportunity becomes available, such persons may face a
conflict of interest. A policy for handling such a conflict
has not yet been formulated. Under Nevada law, in general
related party transactions in which there is a conflict of
interest require disclosure of the conflict approval of a
majority of the disinterested directors.
Financial Marketing, Inc. as a licensed Nevada real estate
brokerage handles the sale of small businesses, meaning
businesses with less than $5,000,000 in annual revenues. As
we intend to concentrate on businesses with more than
$5,000,000 in annual revenues, we do not believe we will be
in competition with FMI. Robert W. Burley owns 9.1% of the
stock of FMI. Linda B. Burley also owns 8.1% of the stock of
FMI. Mr. Burley has been President and Corporate Broker for
FMI since January 1981 and oversees the management team of
FMI. Mr. Johnson owns no stock in FMI. He has been a
broker with FMI since May 2000.
PAGE-20-
Other than the above transactions, we have not entered into
any material transactions with any director, executive
officer, and nominee for director, beneficial owner of five
percent or more of our common stock, or family members of
such persons. Also, we have not had any transactions with
any promoter. We are not a subsidiary of any company.
PART I - ITEM 8. DESCRIPTION OF SECURITIES
The following description as a summary of the material terms
of the provisions of our articles of incorporation and
bylaws, is qualified in its entirety. The articles of
incorporation and bylaws have been filed as exhibits to the
registration statement of which this registration statement
is a part.
Common Stock
We are authorized to issue 20,000,000 shares of common
stock, par value $0.001. As of December 1, 2002, we have
4,894,150 shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding held
by 76 shareholders of record.
Each share of our common stock entitles the holder to one
vote, either in person or by proxy, at meetings of the
shareholders. The holders are not permitted to vote their
shares cumulatively. Accordingly, the holders of a majority
of the shares of common stock voting for the election of
directors can elect all of the directors. The vote of the
holders of a majority of the issued and outstanding shares
of common stock is sufficient to make certain fundamental
corporate changes such as liquidation, reorganization,
merger or an amendment to our articles of incorporation and
to authorize, affirm, ratify or consent to these acts or
action, subject to the provisions of Nevada law.
Holders of our common stock have no preemptive rights. Upon
our liquidation, dissolution or winding up, the holders of
our common stock will be entitled to share ratably in the
net assets legally available for distribution to
shareholders after the payment of all of our debts and other
liabilities. There are not any provisions in our articles of
incorporation or our by-laws that would prevent or delay
change in our control.
Preferred Stock
We are authorized to issue 5,000,000 shares of
preferred stock, par value $0.001, of which no shares
are issued. These shares may be issued at the
discretion of the board of directors in such series
containing such rights and preferences as the board
shall determine. We currently have no intent to issue
any shares of preferred stock.
Dividend Policy
Holders of common stock are entitled to receive ratably such
dividends, if any, as may be declared by our board of
directors out of funds legally available. We have not paid
any dividends since our inception and presently anticipate
that all earnings, if any, will be retained for development
of our business. Any future disposition of dividends will be
at the discretion of our board of directors and will depend
upon, among other things, our future earnings, operating and
financial condition, capital requirements, and other
factors.
PAGE-21-
PART II - ITEM 1. MARKET FOR COMMON EQUITY AND RELATED
STOCKHOLDER MATTERS
Market Information
There is no established public trading market for our
securities and a regular trading market may not develop, or
if developed, may not be sustained. A shareholder in all
likelihood, therefore, will not be able to resell his or her
securities should he or she desire to do so when eligible
for public resales. Furthermore, it is unlikely that a
lending institution will accept our securities as pledged
collateral for loans unless a regular trading market
develops. We have no plans, proposals, arrangements, or
understandings with any person with regard to the
development of a trading market in any of our securities.
Resales under Rule 144 and otherwise
There are 1,294,150 shares of our common stock held by non-
affiliates and 3,600,000 shares of our common stock held by
affiliates that Rule 144 of the Securities Act of 1933
defines as restricted securities. No shares have been sold
pursuant to Rule 144 of the Securities Act of 1933. Of the
shares owned by non-affiliates, all were sold in an offering
registered with the State of Nevada and thus may be
transferred free of any restrictions. The remaining shares
have been held for at least one year may be resold under
Rule 144
In general, under Rule 144 as currently in effect, any of
our affiliates and any person or persons whose sales are
aggregated who has beneficially owned his or her restricted
shares for at least one year, may be entitled to sell in the
open market within any three-month period a number of shares
of common stock that does not exceed 1% of the then
outstanding shares of our common stock. Trading volume in
the common stock during the four calendar weeks preceding
such sale. Sales under Rule 144 are also affected by
limitations on manner of sale, notice requirements, and
availability of current public information about us. Non-
affiliates who have held their restricted shares for two
years may be entitled to sell their shares under Rule 144
without regard to any of the above limitations, provided
they have not been affiliates for the three months preceding
such sale.
As a result of the provisions of Rule 144, all of the
restricted securities could be available for sale in a
public market, if developed, 90 days after this registration
statement becomes effective, November 25, 2002. The
availability for sale of substantial amounts of common stock
under Rule 144 could reduce prevailing market prices for our
securities.
PAGE-22-
Holders
As of July 31, 2002, we have 4,894,150 shares of Common
Stock issued and outstanding held by 76 shareholders of
record.
Dividends
We have not declared any cash dividends on our common stock
since our inception and do not anticipate paying such
dividends in the foreseeable future. We plan to retain any
future earnings for use in our business. Any decisions as
to future payments of dividends will depend on our earnings
and financial position and such other facts as the board of
directors deems relevant. We are not limited in our ability
to pay dividends on our securities.
PART II - ITEM 2. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
We are not aware of any pending or threatened legal
proceedings in which we are involved.
PART II - ITEM 3. CHANGES IN AND DISAGREEMENTS WITH
ACCOUNTANTS ON ACCOUNTING AND FINANCIAL DISCLOSURE
None.
PART II - ITEM 4. RECENT SALES OF UNREGISTERED SECURITIES
On May 5, 2000, we issued 3,600,000 shares of our authorized
common stock to six founding shareholders of record for
$4,600 or $0.0013 per share. (Robert W. Burley, Linda B.

On May 5, 2000, we issued 400,000 shares of our common stock
to GoPublicToday.com's for services rendered and to be
rendered valued at $.10 per share for total consideration of
$40,000.
GoPublicToday.com's services consists of the preparation and
filing of all required documents with regards to (1) a
private offering conducted under Rule 504 of Regulation D
registered by qualification in the state of Nevada and (2)
the full registration, under Section 12(d) or 12(g) of the

* The distribution did not involve general solicitation

accredited investors or investors who were sophisticated
enough to evaluate the risks of the investment. All
sophisticated investors were given access to all information
about our business and the opportunity to ask questions and
receive answers about our business from our management prior
to making any investment decision.
On or before March 31, 2001, the Company issued 37,000
shares of its common stock to three unaffiliated accredited
or sophisticated investors for cash proceeds of $3,700 or
$0.10 per share.
The exemption provided under section 4(2) was available
because:
* None of these issuances involved underwriters,

* Restrictive legends are placed on all certificates
issued.
* The distribution did not involve general solicitation
or advertising.
* The distributions were made only to insiders,
accredited investors or investors who were sophisticated

PAGE-24-
In July, 2002, we completed a private offering of our common
stock in accordance with Regulation D, Rule 504 of the
Securities Act, and the registration by qualification of
said offering in the State of Nevada, whereby we sold
857,150 shares of its voting common stock at $.10 per share,
for a total of $85,715. These shares we sold to non
affiliated investors who were either accredited or
sophisticated. In connection with the private placement
Winfield Financial incurred direct costs of $8,509 paid to
Brett Bleazard as agent of the issuer as provided under
Nevada law for net proceeds of $77,206. In addition,
Winfield Financial inadvertently paid GoPublicToday.com,
Inc. $48,410 of offering proceeds under a contract between
FMI and GoPublicToday.com, Inc., which left net proceeds
of $20,287. However, research into the formation of
Winfield has shown that FMI orally agreed upon formation
make an equity contribution of $50,000 to Winfield upon
demand to meet the obligation to GoPublicToday.com under the
contract set forth above. At the time the payment was made
to GoPublicToday.com, Inc., the parties had forgotten about
the oral understanding, which was never reduced to writing,
and thus the payment was inadvertently made directly by
Winfield rather than by FMI as the parties had originally
contemplated. Although no payments have been made on this
obligation as of the date of this registration statement,
FMI has indicated in writing that it fully intends to
make this payment when funds are available.
PART II - ITEM 5. INDEMNIFICATION OF OFFICERS AND DIRECTORS
Our Articles of Incorporation and By-laws, subject to the
provisions of Nevada Law, contain provisions which allow the
corporation to indemnify any person under certain
circumstances. Nevada law provides when a person is sued,
either alone or with others, because he is or was a director
or officer of the corporation, or of another corporation
serving at the request of this corporation, in any
proceeding arising out of his alleged malfeasance in the
performance of his duties or out of any alleged wrongful act
against the corporation or by the corporation, he shall be
indemnified for his reasonable expenses, including
attorney's fees incurred in the defense of the proceedings,
if both of the following conditions exist:
* The person sued is successful in whole or in part, or
the proceeding against him is settled with the approval of
the court; and
* The court finds that his conduct fairly and equitably
merits such indemnity.
The amount of such indemnity which may be assessed against
the corporation, our receiver, or our trustee, by the court
in the same or in a separate proceeding shall be so much of
the expenses, including attorney's fees incurred in the
defense of the proceeding, as the court determines and finds
to be reasonable. Application for such indemnity may be
made either by the person sued or by the attorney or other
person rendering services to him in connection with the
defense, and the court may order the fees and expenses to be
paid directly to the attorney, or other person, although he
is not a party to the proceeding. Notice of application for
such indemnity shall be served upon the corporation, our
receiver, or our trustee, or upon the plaintiff and other
parties to the proceedings.
Our Articles and By-Laws also provide for indemnification to
the fullest extent permitted under Nevada law.
PAGE-25-
With regard to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, we
have been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and
Exchange Commission, such indemnification is against public
policy as expressed in the Securities Act of 1933, as
amended, 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 a
director, officer or controlling person of the
Corporation in the successful defense of any action, suit or
proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or
controlling person in connection with the securities being
registered, we will, unless in the opinion of our
counsel the matter has been settled by a controlling
precedent, submit to a court of appropriate
jurisdiction the question of whether such
indemnification by us is against public policy as
expressed in the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and
will be governed by the final adjudication of such case.

PART F/S. FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT
To the Board of Directors and Shareholders
Winfield Financial Group, Inc.
(A Development Stage Company)
Las Vegas, Nevada
We have audited the accompanying balance sheet of Winfield
Financial Group, Inc. as of December 31, 2002, and the
related statements of operations, stockholders' equity, and
cash flows for the six months then ended and the year ended
June 30, 2002 and for the period from May 2, 2000
(Inception) through December 31, 2002. These financial
statements are the responsibility of Winfield Financial's
management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on
these financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing
standards generally accepted in the United States of
America. Those standards require that we plan and perform
the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the
financial statements are free of material misstatement. An
audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence
supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial
statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting
principles used and significant estimates made by
management, as well as evaluating the overall financial
statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide
a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above
present fairly, in all material respects, the financial
position of Winfield Financial Group, Inc. as of December
31, 2002, and the results of its operations and its cash
flows for the six months then ended and the year ended June
30, 2002 and for the period from May 2, 2000 (Inception)
through December 31, 2002, in conformity with accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States of
America.
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared
assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern.
As discussed in Note 2 to the financial statements, Winfield
has incurred losses of $115,205 form its inception.
Winfield will require additional working capital to develop
its business until Winfield either (1) restart operations
and achieve a level of revenues adequate to generate
sufficient cash flows from operations; or (2) obtain
additional financing. These conditions raise substantial
doubt about Winfield's ability to continue as a going
concern. Management's plans in regard to this matter are
also described in Note 2. The accompanying consolidated
financial statements do not include any adjustments that
might result from the outcome of these uncertainties.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Nature of business
Winfield Financial Group, Inc. ("Winfield Financial") has
been organized to provide consulting services as a business
broker. Winfield Financial was incorporated in the state of
Nevada on May 2, 2000. Winfield Financial will provide
consulting services primarily for sellers offering
businesses with a sales range of up to approximately
$75,000,000 in annual revenues. Winfield Financial has
changed its fiscal year end from June 30 to December 31,
effective for the six months ended December 31, 2002.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with
accounting principles generally accepted in the United
States of America and requires management to make estimates
and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets
and liabilities at the date of the balance sheet. Actual
results could differ from those estimates.
Income Taxes
Winfield Financial accounts for income taxes under the asset
and liability approach. The asset and liability approach is
used to recognize deferred tax assets and liabilities for
the expected future tax consequences of temporary
differences between the carrying amounts and the tax bases
of assets and liabilities. Winfield Financial records a
valuation allowance to reduce the deferred tax assets to the
amount that is more likely than not to be realized.
Stock-Based Compensation
Winfield Financial accounts for stock-based compensation
under the intrinsic value method. Under this method,
Winfield Financial recognizes no compensation expense for
stock options granted when the number of underlying shares
is known and exercise price of the option is greater than or
equal to the fair market value of the stock on the date of
grant.
Winfield Financial accounts for non-cash stock-based
compensation issued to non-employees in accordance with the
provisions of SFAS No. 123 and EITF No. 96-18, Accounting
for Equity Investments That Are Issued to Non-Employees for
Acquiring, or in Conjunction with Selling, Goods or
Services. Common stock issued for services are measured at
the date of grant and are expensed as the services are
performed.
Revenue Recognition
Revenues are recognized from services rendered to buyers and
sellers of businesses and or assets. Revenue is recognized
when a firm sales agreement is in place, delivery has
occurred, the price is fixed and determinable and
collectibility is reasonably assured. Winfield Financial
will receive a percentage of the total sales or purchase
price.
PAGE-32-
Other revenues are recorded as services are performed.
Basic Loss per Common Share.
Basic loss per share has been calculated based on the
weighted average number of shares of common stock
outstanding during the period.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
Winfield Financial does not expect the adoption of recently
issued accounting pronouncements to have a significant
impact on Winfield Financial's results of operations,
financial position or cash flow.
NOTE 2 - FINANCIAL CONDITION AND GOING CONCERN
Winfield has historically incurred losses, and through
December 31, 2002 has incurred losses of $115,205 from its
inception. Because of these historical losses, Winfield
will require additional working capital to develop its
business operations.
Winfield intends to raise additional working capital through
private placements, public offerings and/or bank financing.
As of March 14, 2003, Winfield is in discussions with
several investors, however no definitive agreements have
been reached.
There are no assurances that Winfield will be able to either
(1) achieve a level of revenues adequate to generate
sufficient cash flow from operations; or (2) obtain
additional financing through either private placements,
public offerings and/or bank financing necessary to support
Winfield's working capital requirements. To the extent that
funds generated from operations and any private placements,
public offerings and/or bank financing are insufficient,
Winfield will have to raise additional working capital. No
assurance can be given that additional financing will be
available, or if available, will be on terms acceptable to
Winfield. If adequate working capital is not available
Winfield may not increase its operations.
These conditions raise substantial doubt about Winfield's
ability to continue as a going concern. The financial
statements do not include any adjustments relating to the
recoverability and classification of asset carrying amounts
or the amount and classification of liabilities that might
be necessary should Winfield be unable to continue as a
going concern.
NOTE 3 - STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY
The initial authorized capital of Winfield Financial
consisted of 20,000,000 shares at $.001 par value common
stock and 5,000,000 shares of $.001 par value preferred
stock.
PAGE-33-
In July 2002, Winfield Financial issued 857,150 shares of
common stock for cash proceeds of $77,206 or $0.10 per
share, net of expenses.
In February 2001, Winfield Financial issued 37,000 shares of
common stock for cash proceeds of $3,700 or $0.10 per share.
In May 2000, Winfield Financial issued 3,600,000 shares of
common stock to Winfield Financial's founders for $4,800 or
$0.0013 per share.
In May 2000, Winfield Financial approved entering into
various consulting agreements for financial and marketing
services, whereby the consultants would be issued 400,000
shares of Winfield Financial's common stock for services to
be rendered to Winfield Financial from May 2000 through June
2000. Winfield Financial recorded consulting expense of
$40,000 or the fair value of the services provided.
NOTE 4 - INCOME TAXES
For the six months ended December 31, 2002, Winfield
Financial incurred net losses and, therefore, has no tax
liability. The net deferred tax asset generated by the loss
carry-forward has been fully reserved. The cumulative net
operating loss carry-forward is approximately $77,000 at
June 30, 2002, and will expire in the years 2020 through
2022.
Deferred income taxes consist of the following at December 31:
2002
Long-term: ---------
Deferred tax assets $ 26,000
Valuation allowance (26,000)
---------
$ -
---------
NOTE 5 - RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
Winfield Financial neither owns nor leases any real or
personal property as of December 31, 2002. An officer has
provided office services without charge. Such costs are
immaterial to the financial statements and accordingly are
not reflected herein. The officers and directors are
involved in other business activities and most likely will
stay involved in other business activities in the future.
If a specific business opportunity becomes available, such
persons may face a conflict of interest. A policy for
handling such a conflict has not yet been formulated.
Winfield Financial entered into a month-to-month lease for
office space beginning July 2002 with an affiliated entity
of the President for $400 per month. Rent expense was
$2,400 for the six months ended December 31, 2002.
Winfield has an oral arrangement with Financial Marketing,
Inc., a shareholder, who has agreed to make a capital
contribution of $50,000 to Winfield to reimburse fees paid
to meet its obligation with GoPublicToday.com.
