PROXY STATEMENT
FOR
ANNUAL MEETING OF SHAREHOLDERS
TO BE HELD [DATE], 2003
------------------------------
INTRODUCTION
Your proxy is solicited by the Board of Directors of Clinical Trials
Assistance Corporation (the "Company") for use at the Annual Meeting of
Shareholders to be held on [date], 2003, and at any adjournment
thereof, for the purposes set forth in the attached Notice of Annual
Meeting.
The cost of soliciting Proxies, including preparing assembling and mailing
the Proxies and soliciting material, will be borne by the Company. Directors,
officers, and regular employees of the Company may, without compensation other
than their regular compensation, solicit Proxies personally, by telephone or
electronic communication including facsimile and electronic mail.
Any shareholder giving a Proxy may revoke it at any time prior to its use
at the Meeting by giving written notice of such revocation to the Secretary or
other officer of the Company or by filing a new written proxy with an officer
of the Company. Personal attendance at the Meeting is not, by itself,
sufficient to revoke a Proxy unless written notice of the revocation or a
subsequent Proxy is delivered to an officer before the revoked or superseded
Proxy is used at the Meeting.
Proxies not revoked will be voted in accordance with the choice specified
by means of the ballot provided on the proxy for that purpose. Proxies which
are signed but which lack any such specification will, subject to the
following, be voted in favor of the proposals set forth in the Notice of the
Meeting and in favor of the number and slate of directors proposed by the
Board of Directors and listed herein. If a shareholder abstains from voting
as to any matter, then the shares held by such shareholder shall be deemed
present at the Meeting for purposes of determining a quorum and for purposes
of calculating the vote with respect to such matter, but shall not be deemed
to have been voted in favor of such matter. Abstentions, therefore, as to any
proposal will have the same effect as votes against such proposal. If a
broker returns a "non-vote" proxy, indicating a lack of voting instruction by
the beneficial holder of the shares and lack of discretionary authority on the
part of the broker to vote on a particular matter, then the shares covered by
such non-vote shall be deemed present at the Meeting for purposes of
determining a quorum but shall not be deemed to be represented at the Meeting
for purposes of calculating the vote required for approval of such matter.
The mailing address of the Company's principal executive office is 2078 Redwood
Crest, Vista, California 92081-7340. The Company expects that this Proxy
Statement and the related Proxy and Notice of the Annual Meeting will first
be mailed to the shareholders on or about [date], 2003.

VOTING RIGHTS AND REQUIREMENTS
VOTING SECURITIES
The Board of Directors of the Company has fixed [DATE], 2003 as the record
date for determining shareholders entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting.
Persons who were not shareholders on such date will not be allowed to vote at
the Annual Meeting. At the close of business on [DATE], 2003, 12,000,000

and outstanding. Such Common Stock is the only outstanding class of stock of
the Company. Each share of Common Stock is entitled to one vote. Holders of
the Common Stock are not entitled to cumulative voting rights in the election
of directors.
QUORUM
The presence at the Annual Meeting of the holders of a number of shares of
our Common Stock, and proxies representing the right to vote shares of our
Common Stock, in excess of one-half of the number of shares of our Common
Shares outstanding as of the record date will constitute a quorum for
transacting business.
VOTE REQUIRED
We are required to obtain the affirmative vote of at least a majority of
the voting shares that are present or represented at the meeting in order
to effect the shareholder approvals described herein.
BOARD RECOMMENDATIONS - INSIDERS' INTENT TO VOTE IN FAVOR
Our board has determined to amend the Company's articles to the increase the
number of authorized shares, setting the number of Board of Directors members
at four, the election of two Directors, approve a three for one forward stock
split, approval of the issuance of warrants and the ratification of the
Company's auditor are in the best interests of the company and our shareholders.
Accordingly, the board has unanimously approved the proposals and recommends
that the shareholders who choose to attend the meeting vote in favor of these
matters as well.
3
MATTERS TO BE ACTED UPON
INCREASE NUMBER OF AUTHORIZED SHARES
(PROPOSAL 1)
INTRODUCTION
AMENDMENT TO THE ARTICLES OF INCORPORATION OF
THE COMPANY TO INCREASE THE NUMBER OF AUTHORIZED COMMON STOCK
The board of directors has unanimously adopted the following resolution,
subject to shareholder approval, amending the Company's Articles of
Incorporation to increase the number of shares of Common Stock from twenty
million (20,000,000) shares to seventy million (70,000,000) shares:
"RESOLVED, that the first paragraph of Article IV of the Articles of
Incorporation be amended to read as follows:
"4. Authorized Shares:
The total authorized capital stock of the corporation shall be as
follow:
Seventy Million (70,000,000) shares of Class A Common Stock of the
Par Value of $0.001 all of which shall be entitled to voting power.
Two million (2,000,000) authorized Series A Preferred Shares with
a par value of $0.001 and such other terms as determined by the board of
Directors of the corporation prior to their issuance. Each Series A
Preferred Share shall have voting rights and shall carry a voting weight
equal to ten (10) Common Shares. Each Series A Preferred Share may be
converted into ten (10) Common Shares upon approval by the Board of
Directors of the corporation.
Two million (2,000,000) authorized Series B Preferred Shares with
a par value of $0.001 per share and such other terms as may be determined
prior to their issuance by the Board of Directors. Each Series B
Preferred Share shall have voting rights and shall carry a voting weight
equal to two (2) Common Shares. Each Series B Preferred Share may be
converted into two (2) Common Shares upon approval by the Board of
Directors.
One million (1,000,000) authorized Series C Preferred Shares with
a par value of $0.001 per share and such other terms as may be
determined by the Board of Directors prior to their issuance. No
Series C Preferred Share shall have voting rights."
If the proposed amendment is adopted by the shareholders, the Company plans
to file a Certificate of Amendment to the Articles of Incorporation amending
Article IV as described above, to be effective as soon as practicable
following the meeting.
4
Possible Effects of the Proposed Amendment to the Certificate of Incorporation.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
If the Company's shareholders approve the proposed amendment to the Articles of
Incorporation, the Board of Directors may authorize the issuance of additional
shares of Common Stock without further approval of the Company's shareholders,
except as may be required in certain cases by the Company's charter documents or
applicable law or regulations. Under the Company's Articles of Incorporation,
the Company's shareholders do not have preemptive rights to subscribe to
additional securities which may be issued by the Company, which means that
current shareholders do not have a prior right to purchase any new issue of
capital stock of the Company in order to maintain their proportionate ownership
of the Common Stock. Furthermore, if the Board elects to issue additional
shares of Common Stock or securities convertible into or exercisable for shares
of Common Stock, such issuance could have a dilutive effect on the voting power
and earnings per share of existing shareholders. In addition, the increase in
the number of authorized shares of Common Stock could have an anti-takeover
effect. For example, if the Board issues additional shares in the future, such
issuance could dilute the voting power of a person seeking control of the
Company, thereby rendering more difficult a merger, tender offer, proxy contest
or an extraordinary transaction opposed by the Board of Directors. As of the
date of this proxy statement, the Board is not aware of any attempt or plan to
obtain control of the Company.
RECOMMENDATION OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS
THE BOARD RECOMMENDS A VOTE "FOR" THE AMENDMENT TO THE COMPANY'S CERTIFICATE
OF INCORPORATION TO EFFECT THE INCREASE IN AUTHORIZED COMMON STOCK.
5
ELECTION OF DIRECTORS
(PROPOSALS 2 and 3)
GENERAL INFORMATION
The Board of Directors recommends that the number of directors be set at a
maximum of four (4). The approval of the proposal to set the number of
directors at a maximum of four, as well as the election of each nominee,
requires the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the voting
power of the shares represented in person or by proxy at the Annual Meeting
with authority to vote.
In the election of directors, each Proxy will be voted for each of the
nominees listed below unless the Proxy withholds a vote for one or more of the
nominees. Each person elected as a director shall serve for a term of one
year and until his successor is duly elected and qualified. All of the
nominees are members of the present Board of Directors. If any of the
nominees should be unable to serve as a director by reason of death,
incapacity or other unexpected occurrence, the Proxies solicited by the Board
of Directors shall be voted by the proxy representatives for such substitute
nominee as is selected by the Board, or, in the absence of such selection, for
such fewer number of directors as results from such death, incapacity or other
unexpected occurrence.
The following table provides certain information with respect to the
nominees for director.

Work Experience
Kamill Rohny, Director, President, CEO/CFO, Secretary
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Kamill Rohny had 32-years of service (December, 1969 through February, 2002)
with Procter & Gamble Pharmaceuticals (formerly known as Norwich Eaton
Pharmaceuticals). He voluntarily retired from the Company in February,
2002.
While at Procter and Gamble Pharmaceuticals, Kamill Rohny was a Regional
Scientific Manager of the Professional Scientific Organization of Procter &
Gamble Pharmaceuticals, leading and executing educational and clinical
research projects, disseminating scientific data to national and regional
physician thought leaders, in one-on-one and group settings. This resulted
in the education of current and future treatment modalities.
Key strategies and activities included but were not limited to, working with
clinical research departments in identifying investigators, clinical research
centers, including site assessment and pre-study visits and served as a
conduit for handling independent research proposals.
During his last year at Procter and Gamble Pharmaceuticals, Mr. Rohny designed,
tested and implemented a patient recruitment program for people with
osteoporosis that helped participants improve their bone health through self
management. The company implemented his recruitment programs on a national
level. These programs were not offered to physicians by any other
pharmaceutical company. Pharmaceutical companies are in business to sell their
pharmaceutical products through physician prescriptions. This was a patient
recruitment program offered by a pharmaceutical which helped build goodwill,
patient compliance and did not directly sell pharmaceutical products. After Mr.
Rohny retired from Procter and Gamble Pharmaceuticals, his former employer did
not actively pursue patient recruitment programs.
He plans to develop 25-30 hours per week to Clinical Trials Assistance
Corporation ("CTAC").

REASONS FOR THE INCREASE IN BOARD MEMBERS TO FOUR
The Company's Board plans to establish an independent Audit Committee which
will be responsible for reviewing the Company's internal control procedures,
the quarterly and annual financial statements of the Company, engaging and
evaluating the performance of the independent public accountants and reviewing
with the Company's independent public accountants the results of the annual
audit. The Audit Committee also is used to review potential conflict of
interest situations involving related party transactions. The board will
require two additional board openings to fill the independent audit committee
positions
RECOMMENDATION OF THE BOARD:
THE BOARD RECOMMENDS A VOTE FOR TO INCREASE THE NUMBER OF BOARD SEATS TO
FOUR, AND THE ELECTION OF ALL THE ABOVE NOMINEES.
8
THE FORWARD STOCK SPLIT
(PROPOSAL 4)
INTRODUCTION
On November 17, 2003, our board of directors approved a proposal to effect a
forward split of our common stock, subject to the approval of our
shareholders. The forward split, if approved, would subdivide our outstanding
common stock on a three-(3)-for-one-(1) basis. In other words, once the
forward split takes place, you will receive two additional share for each
share common stock you hold. Your percentage ownership in the company
and relative voting power will remain essentially unchanged. This proposal
requires the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the voting power
of the shares represented in person or by proxy at the Annual Meeting with
authority to vote on such matters, but not less than the affirmative vote of
6,000,001 shares.
REASONS FOR THE FORWARD SPLIT
We are hopeful that the forward split will encourage interest in our common
stock and possibly promote greater liquidity for our shareholders. Again,
however, we cannot guarantee that this will be the case or, indeed, that any
of the foregoing hoped-for effects will result from the forward split.
CERTAIN EFFECTS OF THE FORWARD SPLIT
The relative voting and other rights of holders of the common stock will not
be altered by the forward split, and each share of common stock will continue
to entitle its owner to one vote. As a result of the forward split, the
number of shares of common stock presently outstanding will be subdivided.
No fractional shares will be issued in connection with the forward split.
Instead, fractional shares will be rounded up and one whole share will be
issued.
The forward split will not affect the company's stockholders' equity as
reflected on our financial statements, except to change the number of issued
and outstanding shares of common stock from 12,000,000 to 36,000,000.
CERTAIN FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSEQUENCES
Following is a summary of the material anticipated federal income tax
consequences of the proposed forward split. This summary is based upon
existing law which is subject to change by legislation, administrative action
and judicial decision, and is necessarily general. In addition, this summary
does not address any consequence of the forward split under any state, local
or foreign tax laws. Accordingly, this summary is not intended as tax advice
to any person or entity, and we advise you to consult with your own tax
advisor for more detailed information relating to your individual tax
circumstances.
9
We understand that the forward split will be a "recapitalization" under
applicable federal tax laws and regulations. As a result of such tax
treatment, no gain or loss should be recognized by the company or our
shareholders as a result of the forward split or the receipt of additional
shares resulting from the subdivision. A shareholder's aggregate tax basis
in his or her post-forward split shares should be the same as his or her
aggregate tax basis in the pre-forward split shares. In addition, the holding
period of the post-forward split shares received by such shareholder should
include the period during which the pre-forward split shares were held,
provided that all such shares were held as capital assets in the hands of
the shareholder at the time of the split.
EFFECTIVE DATE OF THE FORWARD SPLIT
If the proposal is approved by the shareholders, the forward split will
become effective within approximately ten (10) days following shareholder
approval.
DELIVERY OF CERTIFICATES
Once the forward split becomes effective, Holladay Stock Transfer, Inc., 2939
North 67th Place, Scottsdale, Arizona 85251 (Phone: 480-481-3940), our
stock transfer agent will deliver to you a new certificate which represents
the additional common shares as a result of the three-for-one forward split.
The Company will incur the costs to cancel your old certificate(s) and issue
new three-for-one forward split stock certificates.
RIGHT TO ABANDON FORWARD SPLIT
Although we do not anticipate doing so, we may abandon the proposed forward
split at any time prior to its effectiveness if our board of directors
deems it advisable to do so. Any decision as to the appropriateness of the
forward split will be made solely by our board of directors and will depend
upon numerous factors including the future trading price of our stock, the
growth and development of our business and our financial condition and results
of operations.
RECOMMENDATION OF THE BOARD:
THE BOARD RECOMMENDS A "FOR" VOTE IN FAVOR OF THE FORWARD STOCK SPLIT.
10
APPROVAL OF WARRANT ISSUANCE
(PROPOSAL 5)
GENERAL INFORMATION
The Board of Directors believes it would be in the interest for the Company
to have the ability to issue warrants to purchase Common Stock under appropriate
circumstances in connection with the capital raising and financing activities of
the Company. The Company's Board of Directors has approved and recommends to
the Stockholders for their approval a proposal to issue warrants to purchase up
to 1,800,000 shares of Common Stock, which warrants may be accompanied by other
securities or may not be accompanied by other securities of the Company.
BACKGROUND AND REASONS
The Company's management and the Board of Directors have determined that it
would be advantageous to the Company to have the ability to issue warrants to
purchase Common Stock in connection with the financing and capital raising
activities of the Company. The ability to issue warrants to purchase Common
Stock may be a cost-effective way for the Company to raise capital. The
issuance of warrants is a common practice in connection with the sale of
securities through private placements or obtaining debt financing and approval
of this proposal could allow the Company to seek acquisitions. Such warrants,
which may be issued in connection with the issuance of preferred stock, Common
Stock or debt by the Company, typically allow the purchaser of the securities
to participate in any increase in the value of the issuer's or borrower's
common stock. They are often sold or issued in conjunction with other securities
that provide for a specified return, such as promissory notes or preferred
stock. By allowing purchasers of the other securities to share in increases in
the value of the common stock, such purchasers typically are willing to accept
a lower specified return on the other securities than they would without the
warrants. If such warrants are accompanied by other securities when issued,
the warrants cannot be separately transferable unless no class of such warrants
and the securities that accompany them has been publicly distributed.
In order to provide flexibility for future issuances, which typically must be
undertaken quickly, the Board of Directors has approved and is seeking
Stockholder approval of this Warrant Proposal to issue warrants to purchase up
to 1,800,000 shares of Common Stock either accompanied by or not accompanied by
other securities of the Company. The final terms of any warrants including, but
not limited to exercise price, term and vesting requirements will be determined
by the Board of Directors at the time of issuance. Also, the nature and amount
of consideration that would be received by the Company at the time of issuance
and the use of any such consideration will be considered and approved by the
Board of Directors at the time of issuance. No further authorization from the
Stockholders will be solicited prior to any such issuance. If such warrants
are issued and if they are subsequently exercised, it would increase the number
of outstanding shares of Common Stock. Any such exercise would be dilutive on
the voting power of existing Stockholders and could be dilutive with regard to
dividends and other economic aspects of the Common Stock. Because the number
of shares of Common Stock that could be so issued and the timing of any issuance
is not currently known, the actual dilutive effect cannot be predicted.
11
RECOMMENDATION OF THE BOARD:
The Board of Directors believes that it is in the best interests of the
Company and its Stockholders to adopt the Warrant Proposal. THE BOARD
RECOMMENDS A "FOR" VOTE IN FAVOR OF THE WARRANT PROPOSAL.
RATIFICATION OF APPOINTMENT OF INDEPENDENT AUDITORS
(PROPOSAL 6)
Beckstead and Watts, LLP acted as the Company's independent auditors for the
year ended December 31, 2002. A representative of Beckstead and Watts, LLP is
expected to be present at the Annual Meeting of Shareholders, a representative
of Beckstead and Watts, LLP will have an opportunity to make a statement if they
desires to do so, and will be available to respond to appropriate questions.
AUDIT AND RELATED FEES
AUDIT FEES. The aggregate fees billed by Beckstead and Watts, LLP for
professional services rendered for the Company's audits and review for the past
fiscal year totaled $10,000.
FINANCIAL INFORMATION SYSTEMS DESIGN AND IMPLEMENTATION FEES.
The Company did not engage Beckstead and Watts, LLP to provide professional
services to the Company regarding financial information systems design and
implementation during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2002, or subsequent
interim periods.
Approval of this proposal requires the affirmative vote of the majority of the
shares present in person or represented by proxy and entitled to vote at the
Annual Meeting.
RECOMMENDATION OF THE BOARD
THE BOARD RECOMMENDS A VOTE FOR RATIFICATION OF THE APPOINTMENT OF BECKSTEAD
AND WATTS, LLP AS THE COMPANY'S INDEPENDENT AUDITORS FOR THE FISCAL YEAR ENDING
SEPTEMBER 30, 2003.
12
