ITEM 1. Changes in Control of Registrant.
On April 10, 2000, Chattown.com Network, Inc., a Delaware corporation
("Registrant"), entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement ("Agreement") with
Thomas Clay and Mark Schellenberger, two individuals ("Sellers"). Pursuant to
the Agreement Registrant purchased a 100% interest in Value Plus Marketing,
Inc., a private Internet company headquartered in Sarasota, Florida from Sellers
for Twenty Four Million shares of the common stock of Registrant (Twelve Million
to Mr. Clay and Twelve Million to Mr. Schellenberger). The number of shares was
an arbitrary number agreed upon between Sellers and the Registrant. The shares
issued to Sellers were newly issued shares from the Registrant. The 24,000,000
shares of the Registrant's common stock is equivalent to approximately 69% of
the Registrant's issued and outstanding shares of its common stock.
Consequently, Sellers acquired a majority interest in the Registrant's shares of
common stock, replacing A-Z Professional Consultants, Inc. which prior to the
transaction held 87.5% of the Registrant's issued and outstanding shares of
common stock. Sellers now have effective control of the Registrant.
Pursuant to a Directors Consent To Action Without A Meeting dated April
7, 2000 Richard Surber's resignation as President and Director was accepted and
Thomas Clay accepted his appointment as President and as a Director of the
Registrant, BonnieJean C. Tippetts resignation as an officer and as a Director
was accepted and Mark Schellenberger accepted his appointment as Vice President,
Secretary and as a Director.
ITEM 2. Acquisition or Disposition of Assets
At the time of its acquisition from Sellers for 24,000,000 shares of
the common stock of Registrant, Value Plus Marketing Inc. owned several web
sites including the following:

The number of shares transferred to the Sellers was an arbitrary number agreed
upon with Registrant, sufficient to transfer control of Registrant to the
Sellers.

financial statements as soon as they are available, and in no
event no later than June 16, 2000.

commitment or plan to which Value or any Subsidiary is a party, and no event or
action has occurred, is pending or is threatened, which, after the giving of
