PART I
ITEM 1. DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS
On March 23, 2000, the Board of Directors of NTECH Corporation and the
required number of shareholders duly authorized and amended the Certificate
of Incorporation changing the name of the Corporation to Molecular Robotics,
Incorporated. Molecular Robotics, Inc. (hereinafter referred to as "MR" or the
"Company"), is an early stage technology development company that was
incorporated in Delaware on July 29, 1997. The Company was initially funded
through a Regulation 504D offering, and was listed on the Over-The-Counter
Bulletin Board on Dec. 24, 1997 under the symbol NTEH. Its principal business
is the development of enabling technology products and applications to
transition from micro to nano scale for both miniaturized electrical products
and molecularly and atomically assembled substances. The Company's primary
targeted industry is Nanotechnology or "micro-miniaturization." Nanotechnology
involves the disciplines of chemistry, physics, biology, electrical
engineering, computer science, and material science.
Microtechnology, which is the prevalent existing scale, is in the order of
magnitude of one-millionth or 10 -6, whereas nanotechnology is one-billionth
or 10 -9. Within this measurement or "order of magnitude" exists individual
molecules/atoms. The technology to completely manipulate molecules/atoms
has not yet been perfected. Enabling technology being developed by the
Company should facilitate realization of the efficient processes to assemble
and replicate atoms, hence molecules, which potentially will revolutionize
existing technologies and markets.
Products
As an early stage, technology development company, Molecular Robotics has not
identified manufacturers, distributors or sales agents and hence does not rely
on any outside companies for these types of services. The Company has the
following enabling technology products at different stages of development. The
Company's products range from research and development to development to
prototyping.
1. Single-Chip DNA Sequencer via AFM (Atomic Force Microscope)
This project consists of two related projects: building a single-chip AFM and
combining the single-chip AFM with a mechanism to wind DNA onto a spool while
"reading" the sequence with the AFM tip.
This is a development project in collaboration with ETH, a technology institute
in Zurich, Switzerland. A feasibility study is currently being conducted to
determine the best and most profitable applications of this product. However,
the market for high-end microscopy is well established. Any financial,
economic, competitive, legal or technical problems that must be overcome to
make this product commercially viable have been sufficiently addressed by the
Company and there appears to be no impediments to these issues. The Company
has budgeted $5 million for the development of this product and is currently
negotiating this funding with private and venture capital sources. As part of
this project, Molecular Robotics is filing all pertinent patent applications
and has all exclusive rights to the intellectual property.
The first part of the project will extend and commercialize the work of the
Baltes Lab at ETH in Zurich, building an entire AFM on one chip, including on-
chip computer circuitry to process the data. The device will be made robust
and self-contained enough to put down on any surface for imaging, although it
will primarily be useful in the controlled setting of the laboratory. The
device will be inexpensive enough to be disposable when the tip breaks or wears
out, eliminating the time-consuming process of replacing the tip. This
disposable property becomes even more of an advantage when the device
incorporates an array of tips for parallel (hence high-speed) imaging.
In the second project, a MEMS (Microelectromechanical Systems) device will
incorporate a flat "pan-cake" electric motor that winds up the DNA around the
outside of a flat spool. Unlike the macroscopic process, the spool does not
provide the substrate for AFM imaging, rather the DNA is dragged past a block
of silicon and imaged as it is being drawn onto the spool. Tension on the
winding DNA strand is provided by an electric charge that pulls the "clump" of
DNA in the opposite direction to the direction of winding.
2. Drug Delivery Systems
This project is directed at the Diabetic/Insulin delivery market,
specifically in glucose monitoring and the use of insulin pumps. There are two
initial approaches to be studied. The first approach will produce a small MEMS
device to be implanted under the skin to monitor glucose levels. When the
level passes a certain threshold, a needed amount of insulin is automatically
released from a small reservoir. The glucose sensor, drug delivery reservoir,
valve and pump will be connected to each other via an analog computer similar
to the circuitry now used in automobile airbag sensors.
The second approach will be related to the first except that the device would
not be implanted.
This is a development project with the market feasibility confirmed by the 15.7
million Americans who suffer from diabetes (Source: American Diabetes
Association). Any financial, economic, competitive, legal or technical
problems that must be overcome to make this product commercially viable have
been sufficiently examined by the Company and there appears to be no
impediments to these issues. The Company has budgeted $1 million for the
development of this product and is currently negotiating this funding with
private and venture capital sources. As part of this project, Molecular
Robotics will file all pertinent patent applications and have all rights to the
intellectual property.
3. Power Generation
Fuel cells convert hydrogen and oxygen to water and electricity without high-
temperature burning. Recent research results show that bi-directional
membranes can be constructed that catalyze oxygenation of hydrogen (producing
electricity) as well as the opposite hydrolysis reaction-splitting water into
hydrogen and oxygen (using electricity). Such a system can be closed, acting
as a rechargeable battery, and potentially storing far more power than a
conventional chemical battery. MR will design and build a MEMS version of this
closed, rechargeable fuel cell, using micro-fluidic pumps and valves.
A second power generation project will capitalize on the huge amount of
asphalt and concrete road surface, including sidewalks, parking lots, airport
tarmacs, even tops of buildings, that could be used for solar power
generation. MR will engineer a process that could make large numbers of small,
inexpensive MEMS photocells and place them on a wire net, lay the mesh down on
the surface of a road, and then coat the net with clear plastic. The
electricity is drained off at the sides of the road. Cars will damage some
fraction of the photocells, but many more will survive. Airport tarmacs have
large areas that won't be damaged by planes or trucks.
These are development stage projects in collaboration with the University of
Southampton, United Kingdom, with market feasibility studies for the best
applications in progress. There are no financial, economic, competitive, legal
or technical problems that must be overcome to make this product commercially
viable. The Company has budgeted $4 million for the development of this
product and is currently negotiating this funding with private and venture
capital sources. As part of this project, Molecular Robotics is filing all
pertinent patent applications and has all exclusive rights to the intellectual
property.
4. 3-D Computer Chip
Currently computer chips all use only one layer of electronic components
(transistors), although each transistor is made of multiple layers of
material. Chips can be made with many layers of transistors, but such a chip
would build up too much heat in the interior and would eventually be damaged.
Various efforts have been made to integrate cooling systems on the top or
bottom of the chip, but these efforts have all been abandoned.
MR will make a "3-D" computer chip, i.e., one that has many layers of
components and includes vertical cooling channels, through which a liquid such
as water is pumped to keep the chip cool. Such a chip could have the
equivalent of hundreds of today's processors stacked on top of one another. In
the initial version the processors would not communicate directly with each
other (from one layer up to the next) but will connect to the outside world
along the edges, similar to single-layer chips. New packaging will be
developed to allow connection of the edges of each layer to the socket below.
Later, more sophisticated versions will incorporate inter-layer connections
that obviate the need for external connections to each layer.
This is a development stage project in collaboration with the University of
Southampton, United Kingdom, with the market feasibility firmly established.
Any financial, economic, competitive, legal or technical problems that must be
overcome to make this product commercially viable have been sufficiently
addressed by the management and there are no impediments to these issues. The
Company has budgeted $4 million for the development of this product and is
currently negotiating this funding with private and venture capital sources.
As part of this project, Molecular Robotics filing all pertinent patent
applications and has all exclusive rights to the intellectual property.
5. Taggant / Optical Reading Device
Molecular Robotics has developed prototype taggants and a prototype reading
device. Currently, the taggants are made from silicon using MEMS processes.
Existing taggants have a tendency to break which increases the effective
density of taggants needed for embedding into a surface. MR will design a
process for making stronger taggants from nickel that reduces breakage. MR
will also explore the feasibility of making hex-shaped taggants which will
distribute stress more evenly over the surface of the taggant, reducing
breakage.
In a concurrent project, the Company will create an alternative method for
producing and reading taggants with two main advantages over the current
design. One advantage is that it will require less light and hence draw less
power, decreasing the needed battery size in a portable reader from ~2.5 pounds
to perhaps just an AA battery.
This is a prototype stage product with the final prototypes anticipated by
November 1, 2000. The market for this product has been significantly examined
and the Company is quite confident that this taggant will have application in
many security products. There are no financial, economic, competitive, legal,
or technical problems to be overcome at this time that would prevent this
product from becoming commercially viable. The Company has budgeted $4 million
for the market launch of this product and is currently negotiating this funding
with private and venture capital sources. The investment through April 30,
2000 (unaudited) was $16,748 for the development of the taggant and $171,648
for the reading device. This investment has come from management and private
investors. The Company owns the intellectual property to both the taggant and
the reading device.
6. Shipping Sensors
A range of simple, low-cost sensors will be developed which change state upon
reaching a threshold temperature, shock, or humidity. These are "blown-fuse"
type sensors, in the respect that they do not keep a continuous record of
changes, but only register above a given threshold. The change is likely
permanent, just as a fuse melts above a certain amperage. The sensors will be
designed so that no power supply is necessary. The sensors will be attached to
shipping crates for instance. The change in the sensor would ideally be
visible to the eye, and would be most useful as a shipping and transportation
application.
This is a development stage project with the market feasibility study for
sensors in transportation firmly established. Any financial, economic,
competitive, legal or technical problems that must be overcome to make this
product commercially viable are not evident at this time. The Company has
budgeted $2 million for the development of this product and is currently
negotiating this funding with private and venture capital sources. As part of
this project, Molecular Robotics will file all pertinent patent applications
and have all rights to the intellectual property.
7. Micro-Aperture Display
This project will produce a MEMS device for digital projection of images, as
an alternative to existing MEMS devices that produce images via an array of
micro-mirrors. This device could be used for large digital video projectors,
head-mounted displays and desktop displays.
The MEMS device incorporates an array of micro-apertures and aperture covers
that are opened and closed via PZT actuators. The device is built on a
transparent substrate containing an array of molded lenses on the back, which
focus the light from a large LED on each aperture. The lenses do not have to
be precise, and therefore could be made from concentric rings etched into the
substrate. Color is produced by rapidly alternating between three different
light sources.
This is a research stage project with the market feasibility study in progress.
Any financial, economic, competitive, legal and technical problems that must be
overcome to make this product commercially viable are not evident at this time.
The Company has budgeted $1 million for the development of this product and is
currently negotiating this funding with private and venture capital sources.
As part of this project, Molecular Robotics will file all pertinent patent
applications and have all rights to the intellectual property.
8. Impulse Engine
Recent discoveries and experiments have verified an effect that seemingly
violates conservation of momentum, but in fact "borrows" momentum from the
interaction of an object with the rest of the mass in the universe. This
effect is derived from and predicted by Mach's Principle. The effect can be
harnessed to produce a reactionless thrust, converting electricity into
acceleration without ejection of reaction mass. Although slight, the effect is
nonetheless strong enough to use for station-keeping of satellites and space
stations and potentially for inexpensive space travel.
The experimental device consists of a stack of piezoelectric crystals, topped
by a capacitor, and driven by a voltage oscillator. The latest design
dispenses with the capacitor entirely, being constructed entirely of PZT's. MR
will make a MEMS version of this, including an on-chip oscillator, for testing
via a carefully constructed torque balance. Theory predicts that the MEMS
device should have a stronger acceleration per unit mass than the macroscopic
device. Arrays of these MEMS devices mounted on printed circuit boards will
increase the overall thrust.
This is a research stage project with the market feasibility study in progress.
Any financial, economic, competitive, legal and technical problems that must be
overcome to make this product commercially viable are not evident at this time.
The Company has budgeted $1 million for the development of this product and is
currently negotiating this funding with private and venture capital sources.
As part of this project, Molecular Robotics will file all pertinent patent
applications and have all rights to the intellectual property.
9. Earthquake Active Compensation
This project will create a process for real-time active compensation for
buildings in earthquakes. A net of MEMS accelerometers will be attached to
the walls of the building to provide to a computer a dynamic, millisecond-by-
millisecond picture of the pattern of shockwaves throughout the building,
enabling an effective response by actuators distributed throughout the
building to nullify the effect of the earthquake. The building will thus
appear to "surf" on the earthquake, remaining immobile while the ground shakes.
This is a research stage project with the market feasibility study in progress.
Any financial, economic, competitive, legal and technical problems that must be
overcome to make this product commercially viable are not evident at this time.
The Company has budgeted $500,000 for the development of this product and is
currently negotiating this funding with private and venture capital sources.
As part of this project, Molecular Robotics will file all pertinent patent
applications and have all rights to the intellectual property.
10. Biological Carbon Nanotube Synthesis
Existing methods of producing carbon nanotubes are inexact and yield
irregularities of many kinds in the nanotubes. MR's project will provide a
reliable source of perfectly regular, standardized nanotubes for use in many
applications, including AFM tips, fuel cell hydrogen storage, flat panel
displays and molecular electronics.
This is a research stage project in collaboration with the University of Texas
at Austin, with the market feasibility study in progress. Any financial,
economic, competitive, legal and technical problems that must be overcome to
make this product commercially viable are not evident at this time. The
Company has budgeted $600,000 (for a three year period) for the development of
this product and is currently negotiating this funding with private and venture
capital sources. As part of this project, Molecular Robotics will file all
pertinent patent applications and have all rights to the intellectual property.
11. Quantum Logic Devices
Quantum computers hold great promise for efficiently solving problems that
involve searching for a single answer among an exponentially large number of
possible answers. Much theoretical work has been done on algorithms for
hypothetical quantum computers, schemes for quantum error correction, and
potential designs for quantum hardware, but to date no one has demonstrated a
working quantum computer with more than a dozen or so logic elements.
One of the most promising concepts for a quantum computer involves using the
quantum spin of nuclear particles or electrons to represent one "qubit"
(quantum bit). Representing and transferring information using quantum spin
has come to be known as "spintronics" and has garnered much attention from both
the computer industry and DARPA for its potential to break through the imminent
barriers to further miniaturization of computer chips.
MR'S project will address one aspect of "spintronics," namely techniques to
read and write information encoded as the spin of nuclear particles or
electrons. MR will explore various strategies for reading and writing spins of
small numbers of particles or even single particles. These strategies will
include various types of SPMs (scanning probe microscopes) with tips capable of
sensing or modifying the magnetic fields of individual molecules or atoms.
This project will likely make use of the single-chip SPM technology developed
in project 1, Single-Chip DNA Sequencer via AFM.
This is a research stage project in collaboration with the California Institute
of Technology, Pasadena, California, with the market feasibility study in
progress. Any financial, economic, competitive, legal and technical problems
that must be overcome to make this product commercially viable are not evident
at this time. The Company has budgeted $250,000 (for a three year period) for
the development of this product and is currently negotiating this funding with
private and venture capital sources. As part of this project, Molecular
Robotics will file all pertinent patent applications and have all rights to the
intellectual property.
12. Molecular Computer
A computer made from electronic components on the scale of carbon nanotubes
holds the potential of dramatic increases in speed over current computers,
due to the shorter path lengths between components and the enormous parallelism
inherent in a molecular design.
Single-walled carbon nanotubes can be either semiconductors or metals,
depending on their conformation (helicity and diameter). Crossed nanotubes of
the appropriate conformation can act as field effect transistors. Ideally a
computer built of such transistors would be made by self-assembly, rather
than individual placement of the components.
Proteins self-assemble into sometimes elaborate structures such as viruses.
If proteins could be made that "grab" one end of a nanotube and simultaneously
"grab" one or more other proteins, then a three dimensional graph could self-
assemble, where the nodes of the graph are junctions between proteins and the
edges are the nanotubes.
This project will depend critically on a supply of precisely regular carbon
nanotubes with specified characteristics of helicity, diameter and length.
Project 10, Biological Carbon Nanotube Synthesis, will endeavor to produce
such nanotubes.
This is a research stage project in collaboration with the University of
Nottingham, United Kingdom, with the market feasibility study in progress. Any
financial, economic, competitive, legal and technical problems that must be
overcome to make this product commercially viable are not evident at this time.
The Company has budgeted $900,000 (for a three year period) for the development
of this product and is currently negotiating this funding with private and
venture capital sources. As part of this project, Molecular Robotics will file
all pertinent patent applications and have all rights to the intellectual
property.
Market Analysis
Many of the Company's products are being developed using MEMS
(microelectromechanical systems) processes. According to Systems Planning
Corporation, the MEMS market is forecast to grow from $2.1B in 1996 to $11.5B
in 2003. Molecular Robotics holds a competitive advantage on initiating novel
uses of MEMS devices by having the MEMS design team working directly with the
applications engineering staff, all in-house.
Research and Development
For the last two fiscal years, the Company has spent approximately $16,735
on research and development of the taggant only. For the period ended April
30, 2000 (unaudited), the Company has spent $171,648 to develop its optical
reader; this amount has been capitalized under intellectual property.
Molecular Robotics has established the Institute of Applied Physics ("IAP,"
formerly The Institute of New Physics), a California corporation, to receive
grant funding in the fields of nano-physics, artificial intelligence
application development, chemistry, nanoelectromechanical systems ("NEMS"),
MEMS, material sciences and other collective, scientific developments of
enabling technologies to Nanotechnology.
IAP will also conduct portions of the Company's long term research and
development programs, which will facilitate the commercialization of advanced
products in the field.
The Institute of Applied Physics was incorporated in California on February
18, 1997 by Susan Alt (as Susan M. Brana). As a non-profit corporation,
Molecular Robotics is a member, not a shareholder. The Officers and Directors
are Susan Alt, Diane Marciel and Mark Kaeller.
Competition
The level and size of competition the Company faces varies by targeted market
segments. Many of the Company's competitors are more established, benefit
from market recognition and have greater financial, production and/or
marketing resources than Molecular Robotics.
The target markets for each technology developed by Molecular Robotics will
vary widely. Identification of markets for MEMS applications are currently
being pursued by AT&T, Lucent Technologies & Siemens. Molecular Robotics
will focus initially on the market for sensors and taggants in the shipping/
tracking industry. Other applications for the Company's MEMS devices
include DNA spooling devices, single chip AFM, fuel cells, photo cells and 3-D
computer chips.
The Company's limited operating history and lack of revenues have resulted in
a substantial net operating loss. The sole reason for the positive equity
balance is the continuing effort of the company personnel to sell common
stock. There is no certainty they will be able to continue to do so. The
Company's ability to become an on-going concern is discussed in the Independent
Auditors Report and the going concern discussion in Note 1 of the attached
audited financial statements.
ITEM 2. PLAN OF OPERATION
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The Company incurred a loss of ($86,088) for its first year of development
activity ended June 30, 1998 and ($171,930) for the year ended June 30, 1999.
Through April 30, 2000, the Company had incurred an accumulated loss of
($349,155). Cash reserves will carry the company for up to six months and the
company is actively seeking additional financing. For the next twelve months,
the Company plans to raise additional capital to sustain its operations and
research and development by continuing to issue restricted shares of Common
Stock for cash, including but not limited to the issuance of shares in a
Private Placement Memorandum. The Company will use the additional capital
raised to further the development of its optical reader and other products in
development. At this time, the Company anticipates the hiring of approximately
15 additional employees in the next six months, comprised of both
technical/scientific and administrative positions. The Company can continue
operations funded by the management and investors known to management who bring
significant resources to the group. The Company is currently completing a
Private Offering with qualified investors. These funds and the intended
appointment of an underwriter will sufficiently generate the capital required
for the Company's operations until the Company is revenue positive.
The Institute of Applied Physics, until recently, has not been active. The
Institute has neither applied for nor received any grant funding. As a non-
profit California Corporation, all technology developed through the Institute
will become public domain and the Company has not yet identified a project
suitable for this arrangement.
The Company has not entered into any outside funding commitments to date.
The funding for the company to date has come primarily come from the management
and private investors and has been allocated to the taggant/reader development,
as well as general business set up and operating expenses. For the next twelve
months, the Company's cash flow will be generated by funding from management
and/or outside private investors. For the year ending 6/30/2000, the Company
will still be in the development stage. Currently, prototypes of two products
are being developed for commercial sales, the taggants and the optical reader.
No revenue is expected for these products for the year ending 6/30/2000.
The Company has entered into a contract to build an optical reader that will
read the code of the Company's taggant. The Company is charged as the work
progresses. The Company expects the contract to be completed by the end of the
June 30, 2000 fiscal year. The total cost of the contract is $150,000.
Through April 30, 2000 (unaudited) the Company has spent $171,648 to build this
optical reading device, and estimates the total cost to be approximately
$175,000.
There was a significant increase in the operating expenses and operating
losses for the period ended 6/30/99 compared to 6/30/98 and for the 10 months
ended April 30, 2000. Theses increases are due to an increase in general and
administrative costs associated with the Company's daily operations. There was
also a significant increase in the Company's liabilities (note payable) for the
period 12/31/99 compared to the period 12/31/98. This increase in liability
was due to the Company's borrowing of money from another company in which it
had a licensing agreement with to develop alternative metals and plastics, as
well as to develop security paper using its taggant.
The Company has the following products being developed.
1. Single-Chip DNA Sequencer via AFM (Atomic Force Microscope)
This project consists of two related projects: building a single-chip AFM and
combining the single-chip AFM with a mechanism to wind DNA onto a spool while

incorporate a flat "pan-cake" electric motor that winds up the DNA around the
outside of a flat spool. Unlike the macroscopic process, the spool does not
provide the substrate for AFM imaging, rather the DNA is dragged past a block

winding DNA strand is provided by an electric charge that pulls the "clump" of
DNA in the opposite direction to the direction of winding.
2. Drug Delivery Systems
This project is directed at the Diabetic/Insulin delivery market,
specifically in glucose monitoring and the use of insulin pumps. There are two
initial approaches to be studied. The first approach will produce a small MEMS
device to be implanted under the skin to monitor glucose levels. When the
level passes a certain threshold, a needed amount of insulin is automatically
released from a small reservoir. The glucose sensor, drug delivery reservoir,
valve and pump will be connected to each other via an analog computer similar
to the circuitry now used in automobile airbag sensors.
The second approach will be related to the first except that the device would
not be implanted.

or technical problems to be overcome at this time that would prevent this
product from becoming commercially viable. The Company has budgeted $4 million
for the market launch of this product and is currently negotiating this funding
with private and venture capital sources. The investment through April 30,
2000 (unaudited) was $16,748 for the development of the taggant and $171,648
for the development of the reading device. This investment has come from
management and private investors. The Company owns the intellectual property
to both the taggant and the reading device.
6. Shipping Sensors
A range of simple, low-cost sensors will be developed which change state upon
reaching a threshold temperature, shock, or humidity. These are "blown-fuse"
type sensors, in the respect that they do not keep a continuous record of
changes, but only register above a given threshold. The change is likely
permanent, just as a fuse melts above a certain amperage. The sensors will be
designed so that no power supply is necessary. The sensors will be attached to
shipping crates for instance. The change in the sensor would ideally be
visible to the eye, and would be most useful as a shipping and transportation
application.
This is a development stage project with the market feasibility study for
sensors in transportation firmly established. Any financial, economic,
competitive, legal or technical problems that must be overcome to make this
product commercially viable are not evident at this time. The Company has
budgeted $2 million for the development of this product and is currently
negotiating this funding with private and venture capital sources. As part of
this project, Molecular Robotics will file all pertinent patent applications
and have all rights to the intellectual property.
7. Micro-Aperture Display
This project will produce a MEMS device for digital projection of images, as
an alternative to existing MEMS devices that produce images via an array of
micro-mirrors. This device could be used for large digital video projectors,
head-mounted displays and desktop displays.
The MEMS device incorporates an array of micro-apertures and aperture covers
that are opened and closed via PZT actuators. The device is built on a
transparent substrate containing an array of molded lenses on the back, which
focus the light from a large LED on each aperture. The lenses do not have to
be precise, and therefore could be made from concentric rings etched into the
substrate. Color is produced by rapidly alternating between three different
light sources.
This is a research stage project with the market feasibility study in progress.
Any financial, economic, competitive, legal and technical problems that must be
overcome to make this product commercially viable are not evident at this time.
The Company has budgeted $1 million for the development of this product and is
currently negotiating this funding with private and venture capital sources.
As part of this project, Molecular Robotics will file all pertinent patent
applications and have all rights to the intellectual property.
8. Impulse Engine
Recent discoveries and experiments have verified an effect that seemingly
violates conservation of momentum, but in fact "borrows" momentum from the
interaction of an object with the rest of the mass in the universe. This
effect is derived from and predicted by Mach's Principle. The effect can be
harnessed to produce a reactionless thrust, converting electricity into
acceleration without ejection of reaction mass. Although slight, the effect is
nonetheless strong enough to use for station-keeping of satellites and space
stations and potentially for inexpensive space travel.
The experimental device consists of a stack of piezoelectric crystals, topped
by a capacitor, and driven by a voltage oscillator. The latest design
dispenses with the capacitor entirely, being constructed entirely of PZT's. MR
will make a MEMS version of this, including an on-chip oscillator, for testing
via a carefully constructed torque balance. Theory predicts that the MEMS
device should have a stronger acceleration per unit mass than the macroscopic
device. Arrays of these MEMS devices mounted on printed circuit boards will
increase the overall thrust.
This is a research stage project with the market feasibility study in progress.
Any financial, economic, competitive, legal and technical problems that must be
overcome to make this product commercially viable are not evident at this time.
The Company has budgeted $1 million for the development of this product and is
currently negotiating this funding with private and venture capital sources.
As part of this project, Molecular Robotics will file all pertinent patent
applications and have all rights to the intellectual property.
9. Earthquake Active Compensation
This project will create a process for real-time active compensation for
buildings in earthquakes. A net of MEMS accelerometers will be attached to
the walls of the building to provide to a computer a dynamic, millisecond-by-
millisecond picture of the pattern of shockwaves throughout the building,
enabling an effective response by actuators distributed throughout the
building to nullify the effect of the earthquake. The building will thus
appear to "surf" on the earthquake, remaining immobile while the ground shakes.
This is a research stage project with the market feasibility study in progress.
Any financial, economic, competitive, legal and technical problems that must be
overcome to make this product commercially viable are not evident at this time.
The Company has budgeted $500,000 for the development of this product and is
currently negotiating this funding with private and venture capital sources.
As part of this project, Molecular Robotics will file all pertinent patent
applications and have all rights to the intellectual property.
10. Biological Carbon Nanotube Synthesis
Existing methods of producing carbon nanotubes are inexact and yield
irregularities of many kinds in the nanotubes. MR's project will provide a
reliable source of perfectly regular, standardized nanotubes for use in many
applications, including AFM tips, fuel cell hydrogen storage, flat panel
displays and molecular electronics.
This is a research stage project in collaboration with the University of Texas
at Austin, with the market feasibility study in progress. Any financial,
economic, competitive, legal and technical problems that must be overcome to
make this product commercially viable are not evident at this time. The
Company has budgeted $600,000 (for a three year period) for the development of
this product and is currently negotiating this funding with private and venture
capital sources. As part of this project, Molecular Robotics will file all
pertinent patent applications and have all rights to the intellectual property.
11. Quantum Logic Devices
Quantum computers hold great promise for efficiently solving problems that
involve searching for a single answer among an exponentially large number of
possible answers. Much theoretical work has been done on algorithms for
hypothetical quantum computers, schemes for quantum error correction, and
potential designs for quantum hardware, but to date no one has demonstrated a
working quantum computer with more than a dozen or so logic elements.
One of the most promising concepts for a quantum computer involves using the
quantum spin of nuclear particles or electrons to represent one "qubit"
(quantum bit). Representing and transferring information using quantum spin
has come to be known as "spintronics" and has garnered much attention from both
the computer industry and DARPA for its potential to break through the imminent
barriers to further miniaturization of computer chips.
MR'S project will address one aspect of "spintronics," namely techniques to
read and write information encoded as the spin of nuclear particles or
electrons. MR will explore various strategies for reading and writing spins of
small numbers of particles or even single particles. These strategies will
include various types of SPMs (scanning probe microscopes) with tips capable of
sensing or modifying the magnetic fields of individual molecules or atoms.
This project will likely make use of the single-chip SPM technology developed
in project 1, Single-Chip DNA Sequencer via AFM.
This is a research stage project in collaboration with the California Institute
of Technology, Pasadena, California, with the market feasibility study in
progress. Any financial, economic, competitive, legal and technical problems
that must be overcome to make this product commercially viable are not evident
at this time. The Company has budgeted $250,000 (for a three year period) for
the development of this product and is currently negotiating this funding with
private and venture capital sources. As part of this project, Molecular
Robotics will file all pertinent patent applications and have all rights to the
intellectual property.
12. Molecular Computer
A computer made from electronic components on the scale of carbon nanotubes
holds the potential of dramatic increases in speed over current computers,
due to the shorter path lengths between components and the enormous parallelism
inherent in a molecular design.
Single-walled carbon nanotubes can be either semiconductors or metals,
depending on their conformation (helicity and diameter). Crossed nanotubes of
the appropriate conformation can act as field effect transistors. Ideally a
computer built of such transistors would be made by self-assembly, rather
than individual placement of the components.
Proteins self-assemble into sometimes elaborate structures such as viruses.
If proteins could be made that "grab" one end of a nanotube and simultaneously
"grab" one or more other proteins, then a three dimensional graph could self-
assemble, where the nodes of the graph are junctions between proteins and the
edges are the nanotubes.
This project will depend critically on a supply of precisely regular carbon
nanotubes with specified characteristics of helicity, diameter and length.
Project 10, Biological Carbon Nanotube Synthesis, will endeavor to produce
such nanotubes.
This is a research stage project in collaboration with the University of
Nottingham, United Kingdom, with the market feasibility study in progress. Any
financial, economic, competitive, legal and technical problems that must be
overcome to make this product commercially viable are not evident at this time.
The Company has budgeted $900,000 (for a three year period) for the development
of this product and is currently negotiating this funding with private and
venture capital sources. As part of this project, Molecular Robotics will file
all pertinent patent applications and have all rights to the intellectual
property.

ITEM 3. CHANGES IN AND DISAGREEMENTS WITH ACCOUNTANTS
On May 4, 2000, the Company changed its accounting firm from Kevin G. Breard,
CPA, An Accountancy Corporation to Singer, Lewak, Greenbaum & Goldstein LLP.
The audited financial statements ended 06/30/1999 have been prepared by
Kevin G. Breard. In addition:
The Registrant's shareholders elected the accounting firm of
Singer, Lewak, Greenbaum & Goldstein to replace the firm of Kevin G. Beard,
CPA, An Accountancy Corporation as Registrant's accountants.
The former accountant did not resign or decline to stand for
reelection, but were dismissed on May 4, 2000 to allow the appointment of
Singer, Lewak, Greenbaum & Goldstein, the accountants.
Registrant's former principal accountants, Kevin G. Beard, CPA,
An Accountancy Corporation's audited financial reports stated qualification
that Registrant might not continue as a going concern. Such statement was
unrelated to Kevin G. Beard, CPA, An Accountancy Corporation's replacement.
The decision to change accountants was recommended and approved
by the Board of Directors and Registrant's shareholders.
Registrant is not aware of any disagreements with Registrant's
former accountant during the past two most recent fiscal years on any matter of
accounting principals or practices, financial statement disclosure or auditing
scope or procedure.
Registrant has provided the former accountant with a copy of the
disclosures Registrant is making in this FORM 10-SB in response to the
disclosures required by Regulation S-K, Item 304(a). The former accountant has
furnished Registrant with a letter addressed to the Commission stating its
agreement and absence of any disagreement with the statements made by
Registrant in response to this Item. Registrant has filed herewith the former
accountant's letter as an exhibit to this Form 10-SB.
ITEM 4. RECENT SALES OF UNREGISTERED SECURITIES
In April 2000, the Company had the following shares of stock issued or to be
issued at the rate of $.40 per share as a tax free exchange for technology
transferred to the Company.

*Preferred Stock - There are no preferential terms given to the Preferred
Stock. Molecular Robotics' preferred stock has the same terms and conditions
as the Common Stock.
</TABLE>
In addition, since inception through April 30, 2000, pursuant to Reg. 504 of the
Securities Act of 1933, the Company has issued 611,900 shares of Common Stock
for a total cash consideration of $357,924.
In November 1997, the Company had a Private Placement Memorandum (PPM) offering
for 25,000 shares at $10.00 per share. The securities were offered pursuant to
an exemption provided by Regulation 504 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1933.
The Company incurred certain offering costs of $16,004, with the sale of the
stock, such as legal fees. The Company did not use an underwriter, so there
was no discounts or commissions paid. These offering costs, associated with
the sale of common stock to the public, were charged to additional paid-in
capital. Net loss per share represents the basic and diluted earnings per
share. The Company has no potentially dilutive securities.
With respect to the sales of these unregistered securities by Molecular
Robotics, the Company believes that these transactions did not involve any
public offering, in as much as all these shares were issued to the Company's
Officers, Directors and others, who purchased the shares for investment
purposes only and not with a view to further public distribution. Further, no
commissions were paid to any persons in connection with such sales, no
advertising of any nature was made in connection with the sale of said shares,
all Company information was made available to said purchasers, and said
purchasers were required to execute a subscription agreement restating the
aforementioned, among other things. Accordingly, the Company believes that the
aforementioned transactions were exempt from registration pursuant to Section
4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.
ITEM 5. INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS
The Company's Certificate of Incorporation states the following:
"No director of the corporation shall have personal liability to the
corporation or its shareholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary
duty as a director, provided that this provision shall not eliminate or limit
the liability of a director (a) for any breach of the director's duty or
loyalty to the corporation or its stockholders, (b) for acts or omissions not
in good faith or which involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation
of law, (c) under Section 174 of the Delaware Corporation Law, or (d) for any
transaction from which the director derived an improper personal benefit."
The Company's By-Laws, Section IX, .01 states the following:
"The Corporation shall indemnify any person who was or is a party or is
threatened to be made a party to any 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 such person is or was a Director,
Trustee, Officer, employee or agent of the Corporation, or is or was serving
At the request of the Corporation as a Director, Trustee, Officer, employee or
agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other
enterprise, against expenses (including attorneys' fees), judgment, fines and
amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by such person in
connection with such action, suit or proceeding if such person acted in good
faith and in such a manner such person reasonably believed to be in or not
opposed to the best interests of the Corporation, and with respect to any
criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe such
person's conduct was unlawful."

SUPPLEMENTAL SCHEDULE OF NON-CASH INVESTING AND FINANCING ACTIVITIES
During the period from July 29, 1997 (inception) to April 30, 2000, the Company
had preferred and common stock issued and to be issued in exchange for
intellectual property for $3,546,740 (unaudited).
During the period from July 29, 1997 (inception) to April 30, 2000, the Company
issued 715,350 (unaudited) shares of common stock for consulting and employment
services rendered valued at $56,561 (unaudited).
The accompanying notes are an integral part of these financial statements.
NOTE 1 - BUSINESS AND ORGANIZATION
Molecular Robotics, Inc. (formerly NTech Corporation) (the "Company") was
incorporated under its former name in the State of Delaware on July 29, 1997
for the primary purpose of developing, manufacturing, and marketing nano-scale
products ("nano technology"). Effective March 23, 2000, NTech Corporation's
name was changed to Molecular Robotics, Inc. Nano technology is the concept of
miniaturizing products to a point that there becomes a practical commercial
application of the products. The Company's offices are located in Los Angeles,
California, and the Company intends to use independent third parties to
manufacture its products.
NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Going Concern
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles that contemplate continuation of the
Company as a going concern. As shown in the accompanying financial statements
for the 10 months ended April 30, 2000, the Company had a net loss and negative
cash flows from operations. In addition, the Company's sole reason for the
positive equity balance is the continuing effort of Company personnel to sell
preferred and common stock. There is no certainty they will be able to
continue to do so. Management plans to rely on the sales of securities to
sustain operations.
Development Stage Enterprise
The Company is a development stage company as defined in Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 7, "Accounting and Reporting by Development
Stage Enterprises." The Company is devoting substantially all of its present
efforts to establish a new business, and its planned principal operations have
not yet commenced. All losses accumulated since inception have been considered
as part of the Company's development stage activities.
Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions
that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of
contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements. Such
estimates affect the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the
reported period. Actual results could materially differ from these estimates.
NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The Company measures its financial assets and liabilities in accordance with
generally accepted accounting principles. For certain of the Company's
financial instruments, including cash and cash equivalents and accounts payable
and accrued expenses, the carrying amounts approximate fair value due to their
short maturities.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
For purposes of the statements of cash flows, the Company considers all highly
liquid investments purchased with original maturities of three months or less
to be cash equivalents.
Loss per Share
The Company calculates loss per share in accordance with SFAS No. 128,
"Earnings per Share." Basic loss per share is computed by dividing loss
available to common stockholders by the weighted-average number of common
shares outstanding. Diluted loss per share is computed similar to basic loss
per share except that the denominator is increased to include the number of
additional common shares that would have been outstanding if the potential
common shares had been issued and if the additional common shares were
dilutive. Because the Company has incurred net losses, basic and diluted loss
per share are the same.
Stock Split
On April 3, 2000, the Company effected a 10-for-one reverse stock split of its
common stock. All share and per share data have been retroactively restated to
reflect this stock split.
Income Taxes
The Company accounts for income taxes under the asset and liability method of
accounting. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are
recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between
the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and
their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured
using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in
which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The
effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is
recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. A
valuation allowance is required when it is less likely than not that the
Company will be able to realize all or a portion of its deferred tax assets.
NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)
Comprehensive Income
The Company utilizes SFAS No. 130, "Reporting Comprehensive Income." This
statement establishes standards for reporting comprehensive income and its
components in a financial statement. Comprehensive income as defined includes
all changes in equity (net assets) during a period from non-owner sources.
Examples of items to be included in comprehensive income, which are excluded
from net income, include foreign currency translation adjustments and
unrealized gains and losses on available-for-sale securities. Comprehensive
income is not presented in the Company's financials statements since the
Company did not have any of the items of comprehensive income in any period
presented.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
In June 1999, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued SFAS No.
136, "Transfer of Assets to a Not-for-Profit Organization or Charitable Trust
that Raises or Holds Contributions for Others." This statement is not
applicable to the Company. In June 1999, the FASB issued SFAS No. 137,
"Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities." The Company
does not expect adoption of SFAS No. 137 to have a material impact, if any, on
its financial position or results of operations.
RECLASSIFICATIONS
Certain amounts included in the 1999 financial statements have been
reclassified to conform with the 2000 presentation.
NOTE 3 - INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY
Intellectual property consists of the cost of technology acquired in exchange
for stock. The Company is in the process of building equipment and developing
technology to be sold to consumers. Accordingly, no amortization expense has
been recorded. The Company will amortize the capitalized cost over the
estimated useful life of the developed product once the acquired technology is
fully developed for commercial use.
NOTE 4 - STOCKHOLDERS' DEFICIT
Preferred Stock
The Company's preferred stock has a par value of $0.0001. There are 5,000,000
shares authorized and 4,956,850 shares (unaudited) issued and outstanding. The
holders of the preferred stock have voting rights.
During the 10 months ended April 30, 2000, the Company issued 4,956,850 shares
(unaudited) of preferred stock in exchange for certain technology acquired for
$1,986,740 (unaudited). The cost of the acquisition of these technologies was
capitalized (see Note 3).
Common Stock
During the 10 months ended April 30, 2000, the Company issued 1,750,000 shares
(unaudited) of common stock in exchange for technologies for $700,000
(unaudited). The cost of the technologies was capitalized (see Note 3), and
additional paid-in capital increased by $699,825 (unaudited), representing the
excess cost of the acquisition of the technologies over the par value of the
common stock issued. In addition, the Company had 2,149,999 shares (unaudited)
of common stock to be issued in exchange for technology for $860,000
(unaudited). The shares were issued subsequent to the 10 months ended April
30, 2000.
Private Placement
In April 2000, the Company entered into another private placement agreement to
offer up to $5,000,000 worth (unaudited) of units to accredited investors. As
of April 30, 2000, $260,000 (unaudited) was received, and the Company had
104,000 shares (unaudited) of common stock to be issued, which were issued
subsequent to April 30, 2000. Each unit was comprised of one share of the
Company's common stock and two warrants at an exercise price of $5 per share.
The warrants will be immediately detachable from the common shares for separate
transfer and will be exercisable from the closing date of the offering for a
period of 12 months thereafter.
In connection with the offering, the Company issued 208,000 warrants
(unaudited) subsequent to April 30, 2000.
AUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
The financial statements below are audited and should be read in conjunction
with "PLAN OF OPERATION" and the Financial Statements and related notes
included elsewhere in this Registration Statement. The information below may
not be indicative of the Company's future results of operations.
September 25, 1999
To the Board of Directors
NTech Corporation
Monterey, California
Independent Auditor's Report
I have audited the accompanying balance sheets of NTech Corporation (A
Development Stage Company) as of June 30, 1999 and 1998 and the related
statements of operations and retained deficit, and changes in cash flows for
the years then ended and for the period from July 29, 1997 (inception), to June
30, 1999. 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 have 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 misstatements. 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. I believe that my audit provides a
reasonable basis for my opinion.
In my opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in
all material respects, the financial position of NTech Corporation (A
Development Stage Company) as of June 30, 1999 and 1998, and the results of
its operations and its cash flows for the years then ended and from July 29,
1997 (inception), to June 30, 1999, 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's minimal operations to date have resulted
in substantial net losses of $171,930 and $86,088 during the years ended June
30, 1999 and 1998 respectively. The Company has an accumulated deficit
during the development stage of $258,018 and $86,088 at June 30, 1999 and
1998 respectively. The sole reason for the positive equity balance is the
continuing effort of company personnel to sell common stock. There is no
certainty they will be able to continue to do so, however management plans to
rely on the sales of securities to sustain operations. These conditions
raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going
concern. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might
result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

NOTE 1: ORGANIZATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
General
NTech Corporation (the Company) was incorporated in the State of Delaware on
July 29, 1997 for the primary purpose of developing, manufacturing and
marketing nano-scale products ("nanotechnology"). Nanotechnology is the
concept of miniaturizing products to a point that there becomes a practical
commercial application of the products. The Company is in the development
stage, and principal operating activities have not commenced. The Company's
offices are located in Los Angeles, California, and the Company intends to use
independent third parties to manufacture its products.
Going Concern
The Company's minimal operations to date have resulted in a substantial net
operating loss. The sole reason for the positive equity balance is the
continuing effort of the company personnel to sell common stock. There is no
certainty they will be able to continue to do so.
The Company has not entered into any outside funding commitments to date. The
funding for the Company to date has come primarily from the management and
private investors and has been allocated to the taggant/reader development, as
well as general business set up and operating expenses. For the next twelve
months, the Company's cash flow will be generated by funding from management
and/or outside private investors. For the year ending 6/30/2000, the Company
will still be in the development stage. Two products plan to be developed for
commercial sales. No revenue is expected for these products for the year
ending 6/30/2000.
Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
The presentation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions
that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of
contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and
the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period.
Actual results could differ from those estimates.
The Company considers all highly liquid investments with a maturity of three
months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents.
Organization costs are amortized on a straight line basis over sixty months.
For the years ended June 30, 1999 and 1998, amortization expense was $133 and
$70 respectively.
Property and equipment are recorded at cost. Depreciation of property and
equipment is recorded on the straight-line method over the respective useful
lives of the assets.
In accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Statement of
Financial Accounting Standard (SFAS) No. 121, "Accounting for the Impairment of
Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived assets to Be Disposed of," the carrying
value of intangible assets and other long-lived assets is reviewed on a regular
basis for the existence of facts or circumstances, both internal and external,
that may suggest impairment. To date, no such impairment has been indicated.
Should there be an impairment in the future, the Company will recognize the
impairment based on undiscounted expected future cash flows from the impaired
assets. The Company will measure impairment loss as the amount by which the
carrying value of the impaired asset exceeds its discounted cash flows. The
cash flow estimates that will be used will contain management's best estimates,
using assumptions and projections appropriate and customary at the time. Loss
per share is computed using the weighted average number of common shares
outstanding during the period. For the year ended June 30, 1999 and 1998,
34,100 and -0- shares, respectively, were returned to the Company and canceled.
In November 1997, the Company had a Private Placement Memorandum (PPM) offering
for 25,000 shares at $10.00 per share. The securities were offered pursuant to
an exemption provided by Regulation 504 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1933.
The Company incurred certain offering costs of $16,004, with the sale of the
stock, such as legal fees. The Company did not use an underwriter, so there
was no discounts or commissions paid. These offering costs, associated with
the sale of common stock to the public, were charged to additional paid-in
capital. Net loss per share represents the basic and diluted earnings per
share. The Company has no potentially dilutive securities.
Additional paid-in capital of $25,000 represents cash contributed by
officer(s).
Research and development costs are expensed as incurred and consist primarily
of product development and application research. During this accounting
period, the bulk of the Company's expenses were general and administrative,
even though the company's focus is research. Financial accounting
standards require the capitalization of certain software costs after technical
feasibility is established. These costs are not applicable to the Company.
On April 3, 2000, the Board of Directors declared a one (1) for ten (10)
reverse stock split of common stock. All references in the accompanying
financial statements to the number of common stock and per-share amounts for
1999 and 1998 have been retroactively restated to reflect the reverse stock
split.
In June 1998, the FASB issued SFAS No. 133, Accounting for Derivatives and
Hedging Activities, which establishes accounting and reporting standards for
derivative instruments, including certain derivative instruments embedded in
other contracts (collectively referred to as derivatives), and for hedging
activities. Because the Company has never used nor currently intends to use
derivatives, management does not anticipate that the adoption of this new
standard will have a significant effect on earnings or the financial position
of the Company.
NOTE 2: PROPERTY, PLANT AND EQUIPMENT
The Company is in the process of building a piece of equipment. The asset will
be depreciated when the construction is completed. At June 30, 1999 and 1998,
$147,770 and $30,950, respectively, had been charged to property and equipment.
NOTE 3: COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
The Company has entered into a contract to build a piece of equipment (see note
2). The Company will be charged as the work progresses. The Company expects
the contract to be completed by the end of the June 30, 2000 fiscal year. The
total cost of the contract is $150,000. The Company plans to incur an
additional $25,000 above and beyond this amount to complete the building of
this equipment. The expenditures associated with this contract will be
capitalized to the property and equipment account and depreciated upon
completion of the contract.
NOTE 4: STOCK EXCHANGE FOR SERVICES
For the years ended June 30, 1999 and 1998, the Company issued 193,300 and
522,050 shares respectively of common stock in exchange for outside services
rendered. The cost of the services has been charged to operations, and
additional paid-in capital has been increased by $24,950 and $31,196
respectively, representing the excess of the cost of the services over the par
value of the common stock issued.
The Company issued stock in exchange for services. For the year ended June 30,
1998, the Company valued the securities issued in accordance with FASB 123,
which requires that the value of services be recorded at the fair market value
of the securities issued.
These securities were generally nanotechnology engineering expertise, financial
consulting and legal services.
For the year ended June 30, 1999, 193,300 shares of stock were issued for
financial and engineering consulting. Shares issued at $.0001 represent the
intrinsic value of the services performed for these shares; these services were
performed by officers, directors and upper management and represent the most
significant advantages to the company.
The outside services for stock exchange were issued between $0.05 and $0.0001
per share.
