necessarily indicative of beneficial ownership for any other purpose.
Under such rules, beneficial ownership includes any shares as to which
the individual has sole or shared voting power or investment power and
also any shares which the individual has the right to acquire within 60
days through the exercise of any stock option or other right. The
inclusion herein of such shares, however, does not constitute an
admission that the named stockholder is a direct or indirect beneficial

such power with his or her spouse) with respect to all shares of capital
stock listed as owned by such person or entity.

CERTIFICATE OF AMENDMENT OF ARTICLES OF INCORPORATION
-----------------------------------------------
The Company was incorporated on July 18, 1997 under the laws of the State
of Nevada under the name of Eastport Red's Incorporated. Nevada law requires
that a domestic corporation amend its articles of corporation to reflect a
change of corporate name. Therefore, the Company's articles of incorporation
will be amended, effective January 22, 2001 or upon filing of the Certificate
of Amendment of Articles of Incorporation with the Nevada Secretary of State,
whichever is later, to reflect the change of name from Eastport Red's
Incorporated to Wallin Engines Corporation.

CHANGE IN CONTROL
-----------------------------------------------
Effective December 1, 2000, the Company entered into an Asset Acquisition
Agreement between the Company and Michael Linn ("Linn"), a Utah resident,
("Asset Agreement") that resulted in the Company purchasing certain assets
owned by Linn in exchange for the issuance of 18,000,000 shares of the
Company's Common Stock to Linn.
Also in connection with the Asset Agreement, First Avenue, Ltd., a
shareholder of the Company, agreed to the cancellation of 9,100,000 shares out
of the 10,000,000 shares of the Company's Common Stock held by it. Ken Kurtz,
who was an officer and director of the Company through December 20, 2000, is a
general partner of First Avenue, Ltd.
On December 5, 2000, the Board of Directors consented to the appointment
of Mr. Michael Linn as the Company's president, secretary, treasurer and
director, to serve until his successor is elected and qualified. Such
appointment became effective December 20, 2000. Also on December 20, 2000,
Mr. Kurtz resigned all positions as an officer and director of the Company.
The issuances and cancellations of the Company's stock as discussed
herein resulted in a change in control of the Registrant from First Avenue,
Ltd. to Michael Linn. Michael Linn is now a controlling shareholder of the
Company by owning 18,000,000 common stock shares, which will be approximately
90.5% of the Company's 19,900,000 common stock shares issued and outstanding.
