ITEM 6. DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS
Home.Web, Inc. ("Home Web," the "Company") is a development stage
company. The Company was incorporated in Nevada on September 15, 1995 with
authorized capital of ten million (10,000,000) shares of common stock, par value
$0.001 per share. From incorporation until May 1, 1997, the Company was
inactive.
On May 1, 1997, the Company commenced an offering, pursuant to
Regulation D of the Securities Act of 1933 (the "Act"), Rule 504, of up to
2,400,000 shares of its common stock at a price of $0.05 per share. This
offering was conducted in order to raise money for working capital and inventory
and was broken down as follows: $12,000 for working capital, $58,000 for
inventory, $15,000 for consulting fees, $20,000 for legal and accounting fees
and $15,000 for offering-related costs. On September 24, 1998, the offering was
completed with all shares being sold and issued for a total of $120,000, less
offering costs of $15,000 being received by the Company. A closing Form D was
filed September 24, 1998.
In June 1997, the Company increased its authorized capital to fifty
million (50,000,000) shares of common stock, par value $0.001 per share.
The going concern opinion of the independent accountant, as disclosed in
the Company's Independent Auditors Report attached to Part F/S, is as follows:
"Home Web, Inc. (the "Company") is in the development stage in
accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No.
7."
Home Web plans to penetrate the gourmet/specialty foods market and to
maximize sales by wholesaling products to gourmet food stores, small grocery
chain stores and hotels. The product is currently sold through California
Season's company-owned retail stores, catalog and direct mail order, as well as
business and corporate sales programs.
The gourmet and specialty food industry has a history of growth. The
national revenue for the gourmet and specialty food industry exceeds
thirty-three billion dollars. Home Web is taking
3
<PAGE>
advantage of this market by wholesaling and distributing varieties of handmade
Monterey Jack Cheese.
The Company selected Monterey, California as its location because it
was the original home of Monterey Jack cheese. David Jacks of Monterey first
produced and marketed Monterey Jack cheese in 1882. This cheese is the only
native California cheese and one of only two cheeses native to the United
States. The Monterey Cheese Company is the only company offering handmade
Monterey Jack cheese made in Monterey, California.
The Company outsources the production of its cheese products to Sonoma
Cheese Factory ("Sonoma"). Sonoma is one of the oldest hand-rolled cheese
processing plants in California and is one of only two such plants still in
existence. Due to the quality of the cheeses produced by Sonoma and the fact
that it is difficult to duplicate hand-rolled cheeses, the Company will continue
to outsource its products for the foreseeable future. There is no written
agreement between Sonoma and the Company; instead, the Company purchases the
product from Sonoma on a cash-on-delivery basis. Sonoma ships the cheese without
labels, which the Company puts on upon delivery.
Product
- -------
Home Web, under the label "Monterey Jack Cheese," currently offers
twelve varieties of creamy, handmade cheeses in three pound wheels, one pound
wheels, nine ounce wedges and three ounce wedges. The varieties of cheese
include hand-rolled, original Monterey Jack, Dry Jack, Caraway, Pesto, Hot
Pepper Jack, Habanero Jack, Garlic Jack, Lite Jack, Cheddar, Chili Cheddar,
Vidalia Onion Jack and Teleme.
The Company's own research has shown that there is a niche demand for
its products because the cheeses are from Monterey and are of handmade quality.
The cheeses have been market-tested by the Company indicating consumer
acceptance. Current vendors offering these cheeses to the public include the
California Seasons chain of three retail stores, the California Seasons'
catalog, several luxury hotels in the Monterey and Big Sur area, a number of
Monterey convention groups, a distributor in Idaho, a chain of five upscale
gourmet food markets in the Los Angeles area, the Monterey Peninsula Airport
Gift Shop, a Carmel Valley, California store and several more retail stores.
Market
- ------
The size of the gourmet and specialty food industry has increased in
the past six years, with sales in 1995 estimated at 33.7 billion dollars by the
National Association of Specialty Foods Trade, Inc. (NASFT). "Pak Facts," a New
York resource firm, forecasts retail sales will top 47 billion dollars by the
year 2000.
Competition
- -----------
National chains, regional chains and local stores all carry lines of
cheese. Very rarely do these stores stock handmade Monterey Jack cheese. The
problem the chains have is that they are
4
<PAGE>
limited to the amount of products they are able to stock because of the current
mass of other non- specialty food products they must display. This allows the
Company the opportunity to offer a variety of Monterey Jack cheese products not
found in chain stores, supermarkets and delicatessens.
Plan of Operations
- ------------------
The Company has formulated a plan of operations for the next twelve
months as detailed below. In the Company's opinion, the proceeds from future
funding will satisfy its cash requirements for twelve months. During the next
six months those funds will need to be raised. The Company has no engineering,
management or similar report that has been prepared or provided for external use
by the issuer or underwriter.
By the end of fiscal 1999, the Company plans to have successfully
introduced two new product lines and labels to the gourmet food market. The
Company feels it is the proper time to bring new gourmet "niche" food products,
because the cheese line is now fully developed and ready for aggressive
marketing. Carmel Valley Farms and Salinas Valley Farms will be the two new
gourmet food lines and labels. Both of these are world-famous for their valley
products. Carmel Valley will feature wine jellies and jams and Salinas Valley
will feature artichoke products, salsa, spices, hot sauce and pasta sauce. The
marketing will be directed towards companies located in tourist areas or which
sell to tourists through local outlets. The Company will also private label
items as requested by its customers. Wine jellies will do exceptionally well in
wineries that have gift shops.
In order to implement the strategic plan and meet the Company's
anticipated working capital needs, the Company estimates that it will require
$150,000 in capital ($125,000 for short-term financing and $25,000 for Salinas
Valley and Carmel Valley product development). The short-term financing would
include accounts receivable. The Company is currently seeking a $150,000 line of
credit with several interested financial institutions and/or bridge financing
from investment firms.
The Company projects to have net sales of $288,000 by the end of 1999,
showing a small profit after taxes of $10,000. By the end of the year 2000,
sales are projected to be over $600,000. These sales should be very obtainable
based upon forecasts by the nation's Association of Specialty Foods Trade, Inc.,
which projects gourmet food sales of 47 billion dollars by the year 2000.
Despite these low cash reserves, additional funds may be required in
order to proceed with the business plan outlined above. These funds would be
raised through additional private placements or other financial arrangements,
including debt or equity. There is no assurance that such additional financing
will be available when required in order to proceed with the business plan or
that the Company's ability to respond to competition or changes in the market
place or to exploit opportunities will not be limited by lack of available
capital financing. If the Company is unsuccessful in securing the additional
capital needed to continue operations within the time required, the Company will
not be in a position to continue operations and the stockholders may lose their
entire investment.

<PAGE>
Employees
- ---------
The Company will have four full-time employees by the end of 1999. The
President will perform a multitude of company functions, along with a shipping
person and a salesperson. A second shipping employee would be added prior to the
holiday season rush. A full-time office manager will be added in the second
year, which would include bookkeeping, as well as accounts receivable and
payable.

the areas of preparing the private placement offering memorandum, corporate

$10,000 as compensation for services to be rendered by MVI. It is further noted
that Dennis Davis, an executive officer and director of the Company, is also an

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT
I have audited the balance sheet of Home Web, Incorporated as of December 31,
1998 and the related statements of operations, shareholders' equity and cash
flows for the year then ended. These financial statements are the responsibility
of the Company's management. My responsibility is to express an opinion on these
financial statements based on my audit.
I conducted my audit in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards.
Those standards require that I 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 assessing the accounting principles used and significant
estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial
statement presentation. I believe that my audit provides reasonable basis for my
opinion.
In my opinion, the financial statements referred to in the first paragraph
present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Home Web,
Incorporated, as of December 31, 1998 and the results of operations and its cash
flows for the year then ended in conformity with generally accepted accounting
principles.
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company
will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note E to the financial
statements, the Company has incurred net losses since inception, which raises
substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. The
financial statements do not include any adjustment that might result from the
outcome of this uncertainty.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
December 31, 1998
DEVELOPMENT STAGE COMPANY
Home Web, Inc. (the "Company") is in the development stage in accordance with
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 7.
USE OF ESTIMATES
The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and
assumptions that affect certain reported amounts and disclosures. Accordingly,
actual results could differ from these estimates.
CASH EQUIVALENTS
For the purpose of the statement of cash flows, the Company considered all
highly liquid debt instruments purchased with an original maturity of three
months or less to be cash equivalents.
ORGANIZATION AND BUSINESS START UP AND AMORTIZATION
Organization costs and start up costs are recorded at cost. Amortization is
calculated by the straight-line method over a period of sixty months.

tax assets and liabilities represent the future tax return consequences of those
differences, which will either be taxable or deductible when the assets and
liabilities are recovered or settled. Deferred taxes are also recognized for
operating losses that are available to offset future taxable income and tax
credits that are available to offset future federal income taxes.

(A DEVELOPMENT STAGE COMPANY)
Notes to Financial Statements
December 31, 1998
NOTE A: BACKGROUND
The Company was incorporated under the laws of the State of Nevada on
September 15, 1995. The principal activities of the Company, from the
beginning of the development stage, have been organizational matters
and the sale of stock. The Company was formed to sell retail gourmet
and speciality cheese on the Internet. During the year ended December
31, 1998, the Company had sales and incurred expenses against those
sales, but the activity was immaterial for purposes of SFAS No. 7.
NOTE B: RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
The Company entered into an agreement with Monterey Ventures, Inc.
("MVI"), an affiliated company and a shareholder, whereby; MVI will
provide investment banking and other consulting services to the
Company. Payments made to MVI totaled 12,300 for 1998. The Company also
paid rent to MVI under a rental agreement $900 during the year ending
December 31, 1998. Total other reimbursements to MVI for office
expense, phone service, etc. amounted to $5,790 for the year.
During the year the Company paid one of its founders $500 for
consulting services to the Company.
NOTE C: INCOME TAXES
The benefit for income taxes from operations consisted of the following
components: current tax benefit of $5,121, resulting from a net loss
before income taxes, and deferred tax expenses of $5,121 resulting from
the valuation allowance recorded against the deferred tax asset
resulting from net operating losses. Net operating loss carryforward
will expire in 2013.
The valuation allowance will be evaluated at the end of each year,
considering positive and negative evidence about whether the asset will
be realized. At the time, the allowance will either be increased or
reduced; reduction would result in the complete elimination of the
allowance if positive evidence indicates that the value of the deferred
tax asset is no longer required.

December 31, 1998
NOTE D: PUBLIC STOCK OFFERING
During the period ended December 31, 1998, pursuant to an exemption
under Rule 504 of Regulation D of the Securities Act of 1933, as
amended (the Act), the Company sold solely to accredited and/or
sophisticated investors, its common stock. Each share has a par value
of $.05. Total proceeds, from the offering, as of the period ended
December 31, 1998 were $83,400.
NOTE E: GOING CONCERN
As of December 31, 1998, the Company had net operating losses since
inception and negative cash flows from operating activities which raise
substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern.
The Company is in the process of raising initial working capital
through a public offering of its common stock, which is expected to
provide liquidity until operations become profitable. The Company
proposes to engage in the wholesale of cheese. The Company's ability to
continue as a going concern is dependent upon a successful public
offering and ultimately achieving profitable operations. There is no
assurance that the Company will be successful in its efforts to raise
additional proceeds or achieve profitable operations. The financial
statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the
outcome of this uncertainty.
NOTE F: PROPERTY, EQUIPMENT AND DEPRECIATION
Property and equipment are recorded at cost. Maintenance and repairs
are expended as incurred: major renewals and betterments are
capitalized. When items of property and equipment are sold or retired,
the related costs and accumulated depreciation are removed from the
accounts and any gain or loss is included in income.
Depreciation for the year was $4,263.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT
I have compiled the accompanying balance sheet of Home Web, Incorporated as of
December 31, 1997 and the related statements of operations, shareholders' equity
and cash flows for the year then ended. These financial statements are the
responsibility of the Company's management. My responsibility is to express an
opinion on these financial statements based on my audit.
I conducted my audit in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards.
Those standards require that I 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 assessing the accounting principles used and significant
estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial
statement persentation. I believe that my audit provides reasonable basis for my
opinion.
In my opinion, the financial statements referred to in the first paragraph
present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Home Web,
Incorporated, as of December 31, 1997 and the results of operations and its cash
flows for the year then ended in conformity with generally accepted accouting
principles.

INDEMNIFICATION
Subject to the fullest rights of indemnification and limitation of

threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending, or completed
action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative, or
investigative (other than an action by or in the right of the corporation),
by reason of the fact that he is or was a director, officer, employee,
fiduciary or agent of the corporation or is or was serving at the request of
the corporation as a director, officer, employee, fiduciary or agent of
another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, or other enterprise,
against expenses (including attorney fees), judgments, fines, and amounts
paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by him in connection
with such action, suit, or proceeding, if he acted in good faith and in a
manner he reasonably believed to be in the best interests of the corporation
and, with respect to any criminal action of proceeding, had no reasonable
cause to believe his conduct was unlawful. The termination of any action,
suit or proceeding by judgment, order, settlement, or conviction or plea of
nolo contendere or its equivalent shall not of itself create a presumption
that the person did not act in good faith and in a manner which he
3
<PAGE>
reasonably believed to be in the best interests of the corporation and, with
respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had reasonable cause to
believe his conduct was unlawful.
2. The corporation may indemnify any person who was or is a party or is
threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending, or completed
action or suit by or in the right of the corporation to procure a judgment
in its favor by reason of the fact that he is or was a director, officer,
employee, or agent of the corporation or is or was serving at the request of
the corporation as a director, officer, employee, fiduciary or agent of
another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise
against expenses (including attorney fees) actually and reasonably incurred
by him in connection with the defense of settlement of such action or suit
if he acted in good faith and in a manner he reasonably believed to be in
the best interests of the corporation; but no indemnification shall be made
in respect of any claim, issue, or matter as to which such person had been
adjudged to be liable for negligence or misconduct in the performance of his
duty to the corporation unless and only to the extent that the court in
which such action or suit was brought determines upon application that,
despite the adjudication of liability, in view of all circumstances of the
case, such person is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnification for
such expenses which such court deems proper.
3. To the extent that a director, officer, employee, fiduciary or agent
of a corporation has been successful on the merits in defense of any action,
suit or proceeding referred to in (1) or (2) of this Article X or in defense
of any claim, issue, or matter therein, he shall be indemnified against
expenses (including attorney fees) actually and reasonably incurred by him
in connection therewith.
4. Any indemnification under 1 or 2 of this Article X (unless ordered
by a court) and as distinguished from 3 of this Article shall be made by the
corporation only as authorized in the specific case upon a determination
that indemnification of the director, officer, employee, fiduciary or agent
is proper in the circumstances because he has met the applicable standard of
conduct set forth in 1 or 2 above. Such determination shall be made by the
Board of Directors by a majority vote of a quorum consisting of directors
who were not parties to such action, suit or proceeding, or, if such a

or more of its directors or any other corporation, firm, association, or
entity in which one (1) or more of its directors are directors or officers

The officers, directors and other members of management of this
corporation shall be subject to the doctrine of "corporate opportunities"
only insofar as it applies to business opportunities in which this
corporation has expressed an interest as determined from time to time by
this corporation's Board of Directors as evidenced by resolutions appearing
in the corporation's minutes. Once such areas of interest are delineated,
all such business opportunities within such areas of interest which come to
the attention of the officers, directors, and other members of management of

interest, the officers, directors and other members of management of this
corporation shall be free to engage in such areas of interest on their own
and this doctrine shall not limit the rights of any officer, director or
other member of management of this corporation to continue a business

management) from any duties which he may have to this corporation.

Void After 5:00 PM, California Time, on December 31, 1999
OPTION TO PURCHASE COMMON STOCK
OF
Home Web, Inc.
This is to certify that, for value received, HOLDER, (the "Holder") is
entitled to purchase, subject to the provisions of this Option, from Home Web,
Inc., a Nevada Corporation (the "Company"), an aggregate of SHARE NUMBER
(NUMBER) shares of the Company's Common Stock (the "Common Stock"), in the
amounts, and during the exercise periods as set forth below:
Option A: SHARE NUMBER (NUMBER) share options issued upon the Company
receiving $DOLLARS in proceeds from their proposed stock
offering, at an exercise price of one penny ($.01) per share from
June 1, 1997 until December 31, 1999.
The exercise periods for each of the Options are hereinafter referred to as
the "Exercise Period." Hereinafter, reference to "Option" shall include
Option(s) A.
The number of shares of Common Stock to be received upon the exercise of
this Option and the price to be paid for each share of Common Stock may be
adjusted from time to time as, hereinafter, set forth. The shares of Common
Stock deliverable upon such exercise, and as adjusted from time to time, are
hereinafter sometimes referred to as "Option Shares" and the exercise price of a
share of Common Stock in effect at any time and as adjusted from time to time is
hereinafter sometimes referred to as the "Exercise Price."
1. Exercise of Option. Subject to the provisions of Section (8) hereof,
this Option may be exercised in whole or in part at any time or from time to
time during the Exercise Period by presentation and surrender of this Option to
the Company at its principal office, with the Purchase Form annexed hereto duly
executed and accompanied by payment of the Exercise Price for the number of
shares specified in such form. If this Option should be exercised in part only,
the Company shall, upon surrender of this Option for cancellation, execute and
deliver a new Option evidencing the rights of the
<PAGE>
Holder thereof to purchase the balance of the shares purchasable hereunder. If
the Option Shares are not to be issued in the name of or delivered to the person
to whom the Option is registered, the Purchase Form shall also state the name of
the persons to whom the certificates for the Option Shares are to be issued or
delivered. Upon receipt by the Company of this Option and payment of the
Exercise Price at its office, in proper form for exercise, the Holder shall be
deemed to be the holder of record of the shares of Common Stock issuable upon
such exercise, notwithstanding that the stock transfer books of the Company
shall then be closed or that certificates representing such shares of Common
Stock shall not then be actually delivered to the Holder. Following proper
exercise of this Option, a certificate for the shares purchased, registered in
the name of the person entitled to receive such shares, shall be promptly
delivered to such person. The Company acknowledges that the Holder has agreed to
provide certain consulting services to the Company on a cash for services basis
and that the Exercise
Price of Option A may be paid, in lieu of and at Holder's request, as
consideration for services rendered to the Company by the Holder at a value
equal to, and not to exceed, the Exercise Price.
2. Reservation of Shares. The Company hereby agrees that at all times there
shall be reserved for issuance and/or delivery upon exercise of this Option such
number of shares of its Common Stock as shall be required for issuance and
delivery upon exercise of this Option. All shares issued upon proper exercise of
this Option shall be validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable.
3. Fractional Shares. No fractional shares shall be issued upon the
exercise of this Option and no compensation or reimbursement shall be payable by
the Company on account of any adjustments under Section 6 that would otherwise
permit a fractional share to be purchased upon an exercise of a Option.
4. Exchange, Transfer or Loss of Option. This Option is exchangeable,
without expense, at the option of the Holder, upon presentation and surrender
hereof to the Company for other Options of different denominations entitling the
holder thereof to purchase in the aggregate the same number of shares of Common
Stock purchasable hereunder. Subject to Section 8, upon surrender of this Option
to the Company with the Assignment Form annexed hereto duly executed, the
Company shall, without charge, execute and deliver a new Option in the name of
the assignee named in such instrument of assignment, this Option shall promptly
be canceled and such assignee shall be deemed to be the Holder of this Option.
This Option may be divided or combined with any other Options which carry the
same rights upon presentation thereof at the office of the Company, together
with a written notice specifying the names and denominations in which new
Options are to be issued and signed by the Holder hereof. The term "Option" as
used herein includes any Options
<PAGE>
into which this Option may be divided or exchanged. Upon receipt by the Company
of evidence satisfactory to it of the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of
this Option, and, in the case of loss, theft or destruction, of reasonably
satisfactory indemnification, and upon surrender and cancellation of this
Option, if mutilated, the Company will execute and deliver a new Option of like
tenor and date.
5. Rights of the Holder. The Holder shall not, by virtue hereof, be
entitled to any rights of a shareholder in the Company, either at law or in
equity, and the rights of the Holder are limited to those expressed in this
Option and are not enforceable against the Company except to the extent set
forth herein.
6. Anti-Dilution Provisions. The Exercise Price and the number and kind of
securities available for purchase upon the exercise of this Option shall be
subject to adjustment from time to time upon the happening of certain events as
hereinafter provided. The Exercise Price in effect at any time and the number
and kind of securities purchasable upon exercise of this Option shall be subject
to adjustment as follows:
(a) Stock Dividends, Splits and Similar Transactions. In case the
Company shall (i) pay a dividend or make a distribution on its shares of
Common Stock in shares of Common Stock, (ii) subdivide or reclassify its
outstanding Common Stock into a greater number of shares, or (iii) combine
or reclassify its outstanding Common Stock into a smaller number of shares,
the Exercise Price and the number of shares purchasable upon further
exercise of this Option in effect at the time of the record date for such
dividend or distribution or of the effective date of such subdivision,
combination or reclassification shall be proportionately adjusted so that,
by exercising this Option after such date the Holder shall be entitled to
receive the same number of shares which, if such Option had been exercised
immediately prior to such date, it would have received upon such exercise
immediately followed by such event. For example, if there should be a 2-
for- 1 stock split of the Common Stock, the Exercise Price shall be divided
by two and the number of shares purchasable upon further exercise of this
Option shall be doubled. Such an adjustment shall be made successively
whenever any event listed above shall occur.
(b) Reorganizations, Mergers and Similar Transactions. In case of any
reclassification, capital reorganization or other change of outstanding
shares of Common Stock of the Company, or in case of any consolidation or
merger of the Company with or into another corporation (other than a merger
in which the Company is the continuing corporation and which does not
result in any reclassification, capital reorganization or other change of
authorized outstanding shares upon exercise of this Option), or in case of
any sale, lease or conveyance to another corporation of the property of the
Company as an entirety, the Company shall, as a condition precedent to such
transaction, cause effective provisions to be made so that the Holder shall
have the right thereafter by exercising this Option to purchase the kind
and amount of shares of stock and other securities and property receivable
upon such reclassification, capital reorganization and other change,
consolidation, merger, sale or conveyance by a holder of
<PAGE>
the number of shares of Common Stock which might have been received upon
exercise of this Option followed immediately by such reclassification,
change, consolidation, merger, sale or conveyance. Any such provision shall
include provision for adjustments which shall be as nearly equivalent as may
be practicable to the adjustments provided for in this Option. The foregoing
provisions of this Section 6 (b) shall similarly apply to successive
reclassifications, capital reorganizations and changes of shares of Common
Stock and to successive consolidations, mergers, sales or conveyances.
(c) Notice to Holder. Whenever the Exercise Price or number or type of
shares purchasable upon exercise of this Option is adjusted, as herein
provided, the Company shall promptly cause a notice setting forth the
adjusted Exercise Price and adjusted number of shares issuable upon
exercise of this Option to be mailed to the Holder, at its last address
appearing in the records of the Company.
(d) Shares Other Than Common Stock. In the event that at any time, as
a result of an adjustment made pursuant to the provisions herein, the
Holder of this Option thereafter shall become entitled to receive any
shares of the Company, other than Common Stock, thereafter the number of
such other shares so receivable upon exercise of this Option shall be
subject to adjustment from time to time in a manner and on ternis as nearly
equivalent as practicable to the provisions with respect to the Common
Stock contained in this Section 6.
(e) Use of Certificate. Irrespective of any adjustments in the
Exercise Price or the number or kind of shares purchasable upon exercise of
this Option, the Option certificate thereto fore or thereafter issued may
continue to express the same price and number and kind of shares as are
stated in the Option certificate previously issued pursuant to this
Agreement.
7. Notices to Option Holder. So long as this Option shall be outstanding,
if the Company shall pay any dividend or make any distribution upon the Common
Stock, or if any capital reorganization of the Company, reclassification of the
capital stock of the Company, consolidation or merger of the Company with or
into another corporation, sale, lease or transfer of all or substantially all of
the property and assets of the Company to another corporation, or voluntary or
involuntary dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the Company shall be
effected, then in any such case the Company shall cause to be mailed by
certified mail to the Holder, at least fifteen (15) days prior to the date
specified in (a) or (b) below, as the case may be, a notice containing a brief
description of the proposed action and stating the date on which (a) a record
date is to be taken for the purpose of such dividend distribution or rights, or
(b) such reclassification, reorganization, consolidation, merger, conveyance,
lease, dissolution, liquidation or winding up is to take place and the date, if
any, to be fixed, as of which the holders of Common Stock or other securities
shall receive cash or other property deliverable upon such reclassification,
reorganization, consolidation, merger, conveyance, dissolution, liquidation or
winding up.
<PAGE>
8. Restrictions on Transfers and Compliance with Securities Laws.
(a) Transfer Restrictions. This Option and the Option Shares have not
been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the
"Securities Act"), or any state securities law. The Holder, by acceptance
of this Option, agrees that, absent an effective registration statement
under that Act covering the transfer of this Option or the Option Shares,
it will not sell, pledge or otherwise transfer any or all of this Option or
the Option Shares without first providing the Company with an opinion of
counsel or other evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Company to the
effect that such sale or transfer will be exempt from the registration and
prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act.
(b) Exercise Requirements. Subject to the terms of the Registration
Rights Agreement described in Section 8(d) below, the Company shall not be
required to register the Option Shares under the Securities Act and, in
connection with the Holder's exercise of this Option, the Company shall be
entitled to utilize applicable private placement exemptions from the
registration requirements under state and federal securities laws. At the
time of such exercise, the Company may require reasonable representations
from the Holder appropriate to satisfy the requirements of such private
placement exemptions.
(c) Representation by Holder. The Holder represents that this Option
has been acquired for his own account and not with a view to or for sale in
connection with any distribution of this Option or the Option Shares.
9. Notices. Any notice or other communication which is given to a party
under this Option shall be in writing and shall be deemed given, in the case of
an individual party, when personally delivered to that party, or when delivered,
addressed to that party, at the following address:

will be deposited in the bank account of the Company upon acceptance of the

There is no market for the shares being offered and there can be no assurance
that a market will develop by reason of this offering. The offering price has
been arbitrarily determined by the Company, and has no relationship to the
Company's assets, book value, net worth, or other recognized criteria of value.
The Company has had a very limited operating history and there are significant
risks that exist concerning the Company and its proposed operations (see "RISK
FACTORS").
The Company has filed a Notice of Sale of Securities Pursuant to Regulation D,
Section 4(6) and/or Uniform Limited Offering Exemption (the "Notice") on Form D

OFFERING SUMMARY
The following is a summary of certain information contained in this Prospectus
and is qualified in its entirety by the more detailed information and financial
statements (including notes thereto) appearing elsewhere in this Prospectus.
THE COMPANY
Home Web, Inc. (the "Company") was organized as a Nevada corporation on
September 15, 1995. Its principal office is currently located at 380 Foam
Street, Suite 210, Monterey, CA 93940. The telephone number is 408-375-6209. The
fax number is 408- 375-3559.
The Company was formed to penetrate the California gourmet and specialty foods

leading provider of handmade Monterey Jack cheese and; to maximize shareholder
value by capitalizing on the demand for a high quality handmade Monterey Jack
cheese from historic Monterey, California.

RISK FACTORS
ARBITRARY OFFERING PRICE
Prior to the offering made hereby, there has been no market for the Company's
Common Stock. The offering price of the Shares has been arbitrarily determined
by the Company and bears no relationship to assets, book value, net worth,
earnings, actual results of operations, or any other established investment
criteria. Among the factors considered in determining such offering price were
the Company's current financial condition, the degree of control which the
current shareholders desired to retain, and an evaluation of the prospects for
the Company's growth. The offering price set forth on the cover page of this
Prospectus should not, therefore, be considered an indication of the actual
value of the Common Stock of the Company.
DILUTION
Investors participating in this offering will not incur immediate, substantial
dilution. See "DILUTION".
LACK OF MARKET FOR SHARES
There is no market for the Company's Shares and there can be no assurance that
such a market will develop by reason of this offering. Upon completion of the
offering, there is a possibility that even if a market does develop, it would
not be sustained. The investment community may show little or no interest in the
Shares offered; and, accordingly, investors may not be readily able to liquidate
their investment. Even if a purchaser hereunder is able to find a brokerage firm
to effect a transaction in the securities of the Company, a combination of
brokerage commissions, state transfer taxes, when applicable, and any other
selling costs may exceed the offering price of the same.
NO UNDERWRITER
The Company will sell the Shares offered hereby without the use of an
underwriter. The Company may experience difficulty in completing the sale of its
Shares and if so, the Company may not be able to complete its business plan as
successfully as it might if the maximum number of Shares are sold.
NO LIKELIHOOD OF DIVIDENDS
The Company has never paid dividends. At present, the Company does not
anticipate paying dividends on its Common Stock in the foreseeable future and
intends to devote any earnings to the development of the Company's business.
Investors who anticipate the need for immediate income from their investment
should refrain from the purchase of the Shares.
<PAGE>
POTENTIAL FOR FUTURE STOCK OFFERING
In the event the proceeds from this Offering are inadequate to finance
operations, the Company may conduct future offerings of its securities. Such an
offering would dilute the ownership interests of investors in this offering.
Business Risks
RECENTLY ORGANIZED COMPANY
The Company was only recently organized and may be considered a start-up
company. The Company has limited operating history. The Company, therefore, must
be considered promotional and in its early formative and developmental stage.
Potential investors should be aware of the difficulties normally encountered by
a new enterprise. There is nothing at this time on which to base an assumption
that the Company's business plans will prove successful, and there is no
assurance that the Company will be able to operate profitably (see "PROPOSED
BUSINESS OF THE COMPANY").
USE OF PROCEEDS NOT SPECIFIC
The proceeds of this offering have been allocated only generally. Proceeds from
sale of the Shares will most likely be allocated to working capital or
administrative expenses. Accordingly, investors will entrust their funds with
management on whose judgment investors must depend, with only limited
information about management's specific intentions. (see "USE OF PROCEEDS" and
"PROPOSED BUSINESS OF THE COMPANY").
CONTROLLING ENTITIES AND POTENTIAL CONFLICTS OF INTEREST
Upon completion of this offering, the present Directors and Executive Officers
and their respective affiliates, will beneficially own approximately 63% of 'the
outstanding Common Stock. As a result, these stockholders will be able to
exercise significant influence over all matters requiring stockholder approval,
including the election of Directors and approval of significant corporate
transactions. Such concentration of ownership may also have the effect of
delaying or preventing a change in control of the Company. Management will be
engaged in transactions with the Company that will involve potential conflicts
of interest. In addition, the Officers are not required to devote all of their
time and energies to the business and affairs of the Company.
COMPETITION
There are numerous corporations, firms, and individuals which are engaged in the
type of business activities contemplated by the Company. Many of those entities
are more
<PAGE>
experienced and possess substantially greater financial, technical, and
personnel resources than the Company. While the Company hopes to be competitive
with other similar companies, there can be no assurance that such will be the
case.
DILUTION
Dilution is a reduction in the net tangible book value of a purchaser's
investment measured by the difference between the purchase price and the net
tangible book value of the Shares after the purchase takes place. The net
tangible book value of Common Stock is equal to stockholders' equity applicable
to the Common Stock as shown on the Company's balance sheet divided by the
number of shares of Common Stock outstanding. As a result of such dilution, in
the event the Company is liquidated, a purchaser of Shares may receive less than
his initial investment and a present stockholder may receive more.
The net tangible book value of the Company's Common Stock as of April 28, 1997
was, $0.00 or $.00 per share. After giving effect to the receipt of the
estimated gross proceeds of $120,000 thousand dollars from the sale by the
Company of 120,000 shares of Common Stock the pro forma net tangible book value
would then be $120,000 thousand dollars or $0.02 per share of Common Stock. This
represents an immediate increase in net tangible book value of $0.02 per share
of Common Stock to existing holders of Common Stock from the proceeds of the
Offering and substantial dilution to the new investors (i.e., the difference
between the assumed initial offering price of $0.05 per share of Common Stock
and the pro forma net tangible book value per share) of $0.03 per share of
Common Stock.

15, 1995. Its principal office is currently located at 380 Foam Street) Suite
210, Monterey, CA 93940. The telephone number is 408-375-6209. The fax number is

THE COMPANY
The Company was formed to penetrate the gourmet/specialty foods market and
maximize its sales by wholesaling the Monterey Cheese Company products to
gourmet food stores, small grocery chain stores and hotels. The product is
currently sold through California Season's Company owned retail stores,
catalog/direct mail order, as well as business and corporate sales programs
The gourmet and specialty food industry is one of the fastest growing businesses
in America. The national revenue for the gourmet and, specialty food industry
exceeds 33 billion dollars. Home Web, Inc., is taking advantage of this rapidly
exploding market by wholesaling and distributing varieties of handmade Monterey
Jack Cheese.
The company selected Monterey, California as its location because it was the
original home of Monterey Jack cheese. David Jacks of Monterey first produced
and marketed Monterey Jack cheese in 1882.
Monterey Jack cheese is the only native California cheese and one of only two
cheeses native to the United States. The Monterey Cheese Company is the only
company offering handmade Monterey Jack cheese with the Monterey, California
label.
BUSINESS OF THE COMPANY
Monterey Cheese Company currently offers twelve varieties of creamy, handmade
cheese in three pound wheels, one pound wheels, nine ounce wedges and three
ounce wedges.
The Company offers the following cheeses: hand rolled, original Monterey Jack,
Dry Jack, Caraway, Pesto, Hot Pepper Jack, Habanero Jack, Garlic Jack, Lite
Jack, Cheddar, Chili Cheddar, Vidalia Onion Jack, and Teleme.
Monterey Cheese Company offers a product that no one else offers: one that has
already been market tested with excellent results. There already exists a high
demand for the products evidenced by a constant stream of inquiries.
The Company's research has shown that there is a very strong niche demand for
its products primarily because of the fact that it is from Monterey and of
handmade quality.

MANAGEMENT
The management of the Company is fully committed to producing strong and diverse
financial results; concentrating on increasing sales revenue and profits;

Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as
amended, (collectively, the "Acts") may be permitted to directors, officers or
controlling persons pursuant to foregoing provisions, the Company has been

price of $0.05 per share. The Company is authorized to issue 10,000,000 shares
of its Common Stock, at $.001 par value. Each share of Common Stock is entitled
to share pro rata in dividends and distributions with respect to the Common
Stock when, as and if declared by the Board of Directors from funds legally
available therefor. No holder of any shares of Common Stock has any pre-emptive
right to subscribe for any of the Company's securities. Upon dissolution,
liquidation or winding up of the Company, the assets will be divided pro rata on
a share-for-share basis among holders of the shares of Common Stock after any
required distribution to the holders of the preferred stock. All shares of

when issued upon payment therefore as contemplated hereby, be fully paid and
non-assessable.
Each shareholder of Common Stock is entitled to one vote per share with respect
to all matters that are required by law to be submitted to shareholders. The
shareholders are not entitled to cumulative voting in the election of directors.
Accordingly, the holders of more than 50% of the shares voting for the election
of directors will be able to elect all the directors if they choose to do so.
PRICING THE OFFERING
The offering price of the Shares to be sold in the offering was determined by
the Company. In determining the offering price and number of Shares to be
offered, the
<PAGE>
Company considered such factors as the financial condition of the Company, its
net tangible book value, lack of operating history, and general condition of the
securities markets. Accordingly, the offering price set forth on the cover page
of this Prospectus should not be considered to be an indication of the book
value of the stock. The price bears no relation to the Company's assets, book
value, lack of earnings or net worth or any other traditional criterion of
value. There currently is no market for the Shares. Although the Company plans
to try and develop a market for the shares, there is no assurance that a market
will develop for such following the offering. Even in the event a market
develops for the Common Stock of the Company, it is unlikely that normal market
forces will result in a price increase of the Common Stock.
LITIGATION
The Company is not presently a party io any litigation nor, to the knowledge of
Management, is any litigation threatened.

Patricia Cudd, Attorney & Counselor at Law, whose principle address is 50 South
Steele Street, Suite #222, Denver, Colorado 80209, and whose telephone number is
