PART I
Item 1. Description of the Business
The Company is exploring acquisitions of companies engaged in
the business of providing hardware and software products and services
for the Internet and ISDN markets. ISDN is the international digital
telephony standard that has been adopted worldwide. It provides two
64kilobit channels for voice and/or data and one 8kilobit signalling
channel. This provides clear digitised speech and high error free rates
for data communications. In Europe and Asia in particular
telecommunications suppliers are moving rapidly to introduce ISDN
service.
Background
The Company was organised on July 22, 1977 under the laws of
the State of Utah under the name "Western Corn Dog Factories." The
Company became a public company when Trolley Enterprises, Inc., and
Tiffany Enterprises, Inc., merged to form a new corporation to be known
as Western Corn Dog Factories. In conjunction with the merger, the
Company completed a private placement of 100,000 shares of the
Company's Common Stock (the "Common Stock"), pursuant to an exemption
from registration under the Securities Act of 1933,l as amended, under
Regulation D and Rule 504 promulgated thereunder and a registration
under the Utah Blue Sky Law. On December 4, 1981 the Company changed
its name to Resource West, Inc. On January 30, 1989 the Company changed
its name to Magma Resources, Inc. On June 21, 1993 the Company changed
its name to Cellular Telecommunications & Technologies, Inc.
Following the private placement, the Company initiated a
venture to vend food items from kiosks and retail locations, primarily
located in shopping malls. In 1983 the Company discontinued operations
and closed all store operations. Subsequently, on June 3, 1993, the
Company acquired Cellular Payphones, Inc., a privately held Delaware
corporation formed on January 7, 1993. As a result of such acquisition,
the Company was engaged in the business of manufacturing, marketing and
installing cellular credit card pay telephones in taxicabs,
rent-a-cars, buses, trains, ferries and all other modes of
transportation. On December 31, 1994, the Company discontinued all
operations.
On February 27, 1995, the shareholders of the Company approved
an Agreement and Plan of Merger between the Company and C. B. Marketing
2
<PAGE>
& Investment Limited (CBMI), the Company being the surviving
corporation. Simultaneous with the acquisition of CBMI, the Company
approved a change of name to China Biomedical Group, Inc. As a result
of the merger, the Company acquired CBMI, a privately-held corporation,
which was organised under the laws of England in January 1994 through
the acquisition of all of the issued and outstanding shares of CBMI in
exchange for 2,700,000 restricted shares of the Company's common stock.
This was accounted for under the "pooling of interests" method for
business combinations.
On April 22, 1996 the Company's shareholders approved a
Divestiture agreement whereby the Company delivered to certain
shareholders who had previously owned CBMI all the outstanding shares
in CBMI. In return the CBMI shareholders transferred to the Company
540,006 shares (2,700,000 shares pre reverse split) of the Company's
common stock.
On July 12, 1996, the Company changed its name to Internet
Holdings, Inc and was reorganised to invest in Internet and ISDN
related technologies. As a result of such reorganisation the Company
intends to become engaged in the business of providing hardware and
software products and services for the Internet and ISDN markets.
General
The Company is currently seeking acquisitions in the area of
ISDN and Internet related technologies. The Company presently has no
operations
Employees
As of December 31, 1996 the Company had 1 full time employee,
an executive who is not compensated for his services by the Company.
None of the employees are covered by a collective bargaining
agreement. The Company believes its employee relations are good.
Item 2. Properties
The Company does not currently maintain offices. A
mailing address and facility for meetings is maintained at the
offices of its Director and Secretary Lewis. M. Klee and also at the
office of its President Christopher J. Wilkes.

Item 3. Legal Proceedings

Item 4 Submission of matters to a Vote of Security Holders
On April 22, 1996 at a special meeting of the Company's
shareholders the Company's shareholders approved a Divestiture
Agreement between the Company and C.B. Marketing & Investment Limited
(CBMI) pursuant to which the Company delivered to certain shareholders
of the Company who previously owned CBMI all outstanding shares in CBMI
and cancelled inetercompany loans to CBMI in the approximate sum of one
million dollars. In return the CBMI shareholders transferred to the
Company 540,006 shares of the Company's common stock (which had been
issued to them in exchange for all of the share capital of CBMI) and
released and indemnified the Company from all claims against CBMI.
These claims amounted to approximately one million dollars. The Company
cancelled the common shares so returned.

Item 6. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results
of Operations
The following discussion should be read in conjunction with financial
statements and the notes thereto for the period ending December 31, 1996. These
are included as Exhibits to this Form 10-KSB and are hereby incorporated by
reference.
Results of Operations
On April 22, 1996 at a special meeting of the Company's shareholders
the Company's shareholders approved a Divestiture Agreement between the Company
and its wholly owned operating subsidiary C.B. Marketing & Investment Limited
(CBMI) pursuant to which the Company delivered to certain shareholders of the
Company who previously owned CBMI all outstanding shares in CBMI and cancelled
inetercompany loans to CBMI in the approximate sum of one million dollars. In
return the CBMI shareholders transferred to the Company 540,006 shares of the
Company's common stock (which had been issued to them in exchange for all of the
share capital of CBMI) and released and indemnified the Company from all claims
against CBMI. These claims amounted to approximately $1,000,000 (one million
dollars). The Company cancelled the common shares so returned.
Accordingly the assets and liabilities of CBMI as of December 31, 1995
have been restated as net assets of discontinued operations and the operating
results for CBMI have been reflected as a loss from discontinued for all periods
presented.

The Company is seeking acquisition candidates in the Internet and ISDN

may seek to raise proceeds from the sale of its securities. No specific merger
candidates have been agreed at present.

TOGETHER WITH AUDITORS' REPORT
<PAGE>
[CALLAGHAN NAWROCKI LLP LETTERHEAD]
Callaghan Nawrocki LLP
CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS
INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT
To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of
Internet Holdings, Inc.:
We have audited the accompanying balance sheet of Internet Holdings,
Inc. (formerly China Biomedical Group, Inc.; the "Company"), as of December 31,
1996, and the related statements of operations, stockholders' deficit and cash
flows for the years ended December 31, 1996 and 1995. These financial statements
are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to
express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit. We did not
audit the financial statements of C.B. Marketing and Investment Limited (a
former wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, the "Subsidiary") as of December
31, 1995 and for the year then ended. Those statements were audited by other
auditors based in England, whose report has been furnished to us and our
opinion, insofar as it relates to amounts of the Subsidiary in the 1995
financial statements is based on the report of the other auditors.
We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted
auditing standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits
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, based on our audits and with respect to the 1995
financial statements, the report of the other auditors, the financial statements
referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial
position of Internet Holdings, Inc. as of December 31, 1996, and the results of
its operations and cash flows for the years ended December 31, 1996 and 1995 in
conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming
that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 1 to the
financial statements, the Company presently has no assets and no revenue
producing operations or activities and has working capital and equity
deficiencies arising from discontinued operations. These factors raise
substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern.
Management's plans in regard to these matters are also described in Note 1. The
financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the
outcome of this uncertainty.

(FORMERLY CHINA BIOMEDICAL GROUP, INC.)
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(1) Business and organization
Internet Holdings, Inc. (the "Company") was originally
incorporated in the State of Utah on July 22, 1977, under the name
of Western Corn Dog Factories. The Company has had a series of
mergers with other companies, all accounted for as reverse
acquisitions, with the Company in each case changing its name to
that of or similar to the reverse acquiror. In this regard, the
Company's previous names were: Resources West, Inc., Magma
Resources, Inc., Cellular Telecommunications & Technologies, Inc.
in 1993 and most recently China Biomedical Group, Inc. in 1995. The
name Internet Holdings, Inc. was adopted on July 12, 1996.
In 1993, the Company acquired Cellular Payphones, Inc., ("CPI"), (a
Delaware Corporation), whereby all of the issued and outstanding
shares of CPI were exchanged for approximately 90% of the issued and
outstanding stock of the Company. This transaction was accounted for
as a reverse acquisition purchase, in which CPI was the acquiring
corporation, and the Company was the acquired corporation. The
Company accounted for this transaction as a recapitalization of CPI,
with the issuance of 2,625,000 shares of common stock for the net
assets of the Company. Following the 1993 acquisition, the Company
was engaged in the business of (i) installation and servicing of
cellular credit-card pay telephones in taxicabs, radio-cabs,
limousines, rental cars, trains, ferries, hotels, and business
conference centers, and (ii) the data processing and development of
streamline software specializing in credit card authorization
processing with real-time billing functions. The Company ceased such
operations in October 1994 due to substantial losses. Effective
April 3, 1995, the Company acquired C.B. Marketing and Investment
Limited, a privately-held English corporation engaged in the
business of medical market research and the manufacture of
pharmaceuticals and contraceptives in the Peoples' Republic of
China. On April 22, 1996, the Company entered into a divestiture
agreement with respect to C.B. Marketing and Investment Limited.
During 1996, the Company was reorganized to invest in internet and
ISDN ("International Standard Digital Network") related
technologies.
The Company presently has no assets and no revenue producing
operations or activities and has working capital and equity
deficiencies arising from discontinued operations. Management's
plans include seeking an acquisition candidate in the internet and
ISDN technology fields. In connection with such a transaction,
which, similar to the Company's previous mergers will actually be a
reverse acquisition, the Company may seek to raise proceeds from the
sale of its securities. No specific merger candidates have been
identified at present.

<PAGE>
(2) Summary of significant accounting policies:
Foreign currency translation -
Exchange adjustments resulting from the translation of financial
statements have been reflected as a separate component of
stockholders' equity. The cumulative adjustment was eliminated upon
the divestiture of the foreign operations.
Revenue and cost recognition -
Revenues are generally recognized as earned and expenses are
recognized when incurred under the accrual basis of accounting.
Net loss per share -
Net loss per share was computed by dividing net loss by the weighted
average number of common shares issued and outstanding during the
period.
Income taxes -
The Company has adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards
No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes", to account for deferred
income taxes. Deferred taxes are computed based on the tax liability
or benefit in future years of the reversal of temporary differences
in the recognition of income or deduction of expenses between
financial and tax reporting purposes. The net difference, if any,
between the provision for taxes and taxes currently payable is
reflected in the balance sheet as deferred taxes. Deferred tax
assets and/or liabilities, if any, are classified as current and
noncurrent based on the classification of the related asset or
liability for financial reporting purposes, or based on the expected
reversal date for deferred taxes that are not related to an asset or
liability.
(3) Discontinued operations
On April 22, 1996, the Company's stockholders approved a divestiture
agreement whereby the Company delivered to certain stockholders who
had previously owned C.B. Marketing and Investment Limited (the
"Subsidiary") all the outstanding shares in this corporation. In
return, the C.B. Marketing and Investment Limited shareholders
transferred to the Company 540,006 shares (2,700,000 shares
pre-reverse split) of the Company's common stock. Accordingly, the
assets and liabilities of the Subsidiary as of December 31, 1995
were restated as net assets of discontinued operations, and the
operating results for the Subsidiary have been reflected as a loss
from discontinued operations for all periods presented. (See Note
5).
F-7
<PAGE>
(4) Accounts payable and accrued liabilities
As of December 31, 1996, accounts payable and accrued liabilities
consist primarily of obligations for legal and professional fees.
(5) Stockholders' equity
On February 8, 1995, a Special Meeting of the Company's stockholders
was held and the Company's stockholders approved, among other
proposals, a proposal to effect a 1-for-2 reverse stock split of the
issued and outstanding shares of the Company's common stock. The
reverse split was effective March 28, 1995. As a result of the
reverse split and after adjustments for fractional shares, the
number of shares was reduced from 3,527,769 to 1,764,343. The
reverse split did not affect the number of shares of the Company's
common stock authorized.
On April 3, 1995, the Company acquired C.B. Marketing and Investment
Limited, a privately-held English corporation in a stock-for-stock
exchange. As a result of such transaction, which has been accounted
for under the "pooling of interests" method for business
combinations, the Company issued 2,700,000 shares of its authorized
but unissued shares of common stock to the shareholders of C.B.
Marketing and Investment Limited.
In August 1995, the Company sold pursuant to a private placement
under Regulation D Rule 504, 84,000 shares of common stock for
proceeds of $270,000. The proceeds are net of $30,000 in sales
commission.
Also in August 1995, the Company issued 12,000 common shares in
settlement of certain obligations.
In December 1995, the Company issued 1,000,000 shares of common
stock under Regulation S in satisfaction of two convertible loan
notes held by offshore investors.
On January 27, 1996, the Board of Directors approved a 1-for-5
reverse stock split of the issued and outstanding shares of the
Company's common stock.
On April 22, 1996, the Company's stockholders approved a divestiture
agreement whereby the Company delivered to certain stockholders who
had previously owned C.B. Marketing and Investment Limited all the
outstanding shares in this corporation. In return, the C.B.
Marketing and Investment Limited shareholders transferred to the
Company 540,006 shares (2,700,000 shares pre-reverse split) of the
Company's common stock. Such shares were immediately canceled.
On April 25, 1996, the Board of Directors approved the issuance of
59,000 shares of the Company's common stock in satisfaction of
obligations in the amount of $118,000.
F-8
<PAGE>
On July 3, 1996, the Board of Directors approved the issuance of
1,066,000 shares of the Company's common stock in satisfaction of
obligations in the amount of $266,500.
The components of stockholders' deficit have been reclassified to
reflect the proper accounting basis of the surviving company.
(6) Income taxes
