ITEM 1. DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS
General
-------
Great Basin Water Company (the "Registrant" or the
"Company") was incorporated on August 27, 1997 under the laws of
the state of Nevada. On November 1, 1998, the Company purchased
all of the outstanding shares of Shadow Ridge Water Company
("Shadow Ridge"), an Arizona corporation, by issuing 1,000,000
shares of common stock of the Company, valued at $2.00 per share.
In February of 1999, the Company acquired four water wells with
pumps and 2,733.35 acre feet of water in Arizona in exchange for
the payment of 7,500 shares of Preferred Series B Stock, valued
at $100.00 per share, and the annual payment, commencing November
1, 2000, of $60,000 cash. On July 12, 1999, the Company acquired
100% of HDB Telemetry Corporation, a Nevada corporation ("HDB
Telemetry"), by issuing 100,000 shares of common stock, valued at
$2.00 per share. Also on July 12, 1999, the Company acquired 20%
of HDB Telemetry Systems, a Canadian corporation ("HDB Telemetry-
Canada"), by issuing 20,000 shares of common stock valued at
$2.00 per share.
Business of the Registrant
--------------------------
The Company is a holding company in the business of
acquiring new or existing water companies and utility-related
products. The Company aims to centralize any acquired utility
organization to better service its end-users and to capitalize
new water utility corporations in need of capitalization for the
expansion and/or construction of new systems to service the
demands of developers and builders. In addition, new products
that serve utility companies may also become a target of
acquisition by the Company. While the Company does not engage in
providing utility services directly, it serves as a holding
company for other companies it acquires that may provide such
services.
The main goal of the Company is to acquire certified
companies that provide public water utility service and waste
treatment services to identified portions of Arizona, California,
Nevada and Utah. Management intends to locate companies with
respectable operating histories that do not suffer from water
quality problems.
<PAGE> 3
While the Company intends to centralize the business
organization of the companies it acquires, it will also utilize
traditional distribution methods for water and waste treatment in
areas that are targeted for explosive growth in America's
Southwest.
Competitive business conditions are somewhat thwarted
because of the semi-monopolistic nature of utilities. While
considered natural monopolies, the acquisition of existing water
companies and the capitalization of new construction of other
water companies acquired, will eventually lead to the limits of
holding companies with utilities. Once the total monthly revenue
of all the Company's subsidiaries combined reach or exceed
$5,000,000 per month, new restrictions from the State of Arizona
and possibly other states would affect the further acquisition of
additional utilities.
All of the water in the utilities in the Company's current
subsidiaries is ground water (pump well) distribution. The amount
of acre feet that can be pumped is allocated in the Certificate
of Convenience and Necessity awarded by the State for that
particular water system.
The availability of water is proven in each instance where
demands for utility service (water and waste) is requested.
Developers and builders must submit a request for an assurance of
service prior to receiving any building or construction permits.
As each is examined, the availability of water to service such
demands is reviewed by hydrologists and a decision is made to
service from existing infrastructural designs and existing pump
wells, or to develop additional pump well capacity. Current
hydrological reports indicate vast quantities of ground water in
the alluvial basins in the area of Arizona where the Company is
active.
The dependence on customers for water is a known demand
factored by unit into the Certificate of Necessity and the 100
year water plan so the matter of few or many customers is
centrally organized into the overall plan of combined customer
demand.
Franchises for water and waste treatment services on two
townships in Mohave County, Arizona are owned by Shadow Ridge.
All services are approved by the Arizona Department of
Environmental Quality, the Corporate Commission of the State of
Arizona, Mohave County Arizona, Department of Engineering and the
water is tested weekly for quality by an approved chemical
laboratory.
<PAGE> 4
Each governmental approval is on an "as needed" basis for
each subsidiary corporation. There are not any approvals required
at this time that has not been obtained. The effect of
governmental approvals for service and operational requirements
are not any different than normal operating procedures.
The Company has not expended any time or money on research
and development. The Company relies on manufacturing corporations
for equipment and components. Costs and effects of compliance
with environmental laws have been approximately $5,000, mainly
for biological and endangered species surveys and control in
compliance with Federal laws.
The Company currently has two full-time employees. Darryl E.
Schuttloffel is the President/CEO and works full time for the
Company implementing the business plan. He is an officer and
director of the Corporation. Ray E. Warren is the Chairman of the
Board of Directors and devotes approximately twenty hours per
week to implementing the business plan. Mr. Thomas R. Warren is a
director as well as the CFO of the Company and devotes
approximately 20 hours per week to the Company's affairs.
SHADOW RIDGE
------------
The Company purchased 2,733.35 acre feet of agricultural
water in the Mesquite, Nevada area. The Mesquite, Nevada area,
which is called the Arizona Strip, is embarking on a building and
housing boom for subdivisions and rural communities. The
Company's subsidiary, Shadow Ridge, will service water in these
communities. This Arizona Strip section of land is situated
northwest of the Grand Canyon and is not accessible from the rest
of the State of Arizona. In order to get there, one must travel
through the state of Nevada or the state of Utah. Indeed, Mohave
County, in which most of the Arizona Strip is located, is larger
than five of the smaller eastern states, is largely unsettled and
is desert. Golf courses and country clubs are planned for this
area as well as planned communities of 2,000 homes.
The acquisition of Shadow Ridge was the first of the utility
companies purchased by the Company. Shadow Ridge was a start-up
company that owns franchises on over 7,000 acres of real estate
in the Arizona Strip. The first 18.25 miles of water and waste
treatment mains have been engineered and construction is
scheduled to start in March 2000. The system will currently serve
two developers that have requested service, but it is engineered
to serve a total of seven square miles of property that should
attract other future developers as well.
<PAGE> 5
Even though this utility is located directly across the
Virgin River from Mesquite, Nevada, one of the fastest growing
cities in Nevada, a market analysis was conducted on the utility
by Tamsen Market Research and Analysis for the developers
regarding the proposed residential and utility development. The
site is situated approximately 3.5 miles southeast of Mesquite,
Nevada and is currently barren property.
Research consisted of a site area reconnaissance, local
records review, available news articles and interviews with local
governmental and industry professionals. Their assessment has
revealed the following information in connection with the
development of the property for residential utilization and the
operation of a supporting utility.
1. Mesquite Nevada is the fastest growing city in Nevada
(currently the fastest growing small city in the entire
United States) with other nearby Nevada cities in second
and third place.
2. The current population is approximately 15,000 and is
expected to double in the next three years with the city
of Mesquite eventually supporting 30,000 to 35,000
people.
3. During the past ten years the area population has
increased 400%+.
4. The economy is well diversified and not tied to any
particular employer, creating a wide variance of
opportunities and expectations.
5. Completion of the recent casinos during the past five
years has put a strain on the existing supply of housing
lots.
6. The average home in Mesquite is a 1,500 square foot
ranch home priced between $95,000 and $140,000.
7. Certain unique building methods permitted in the area
can help provide more affordable housing.
8. Lot prices are high ($50,000-$80,000) due to a lot
shortage.
9. About thirty-two (32) new subdivisions have recently
been developed during the last three years. Several of
these developments have been pre-sold.
10. The prices of Mesquite residential building lots are
climbing and lots are hard to come by. There are still a
few in-fill lots scattered throughout the older parts of
the city, but even these are selling at premium prices.
It is the opinion of the study that with proper management
and marketing, there is no reason that the ongoing successful
home building boom which is going on in Mesquite, Nevada cannot
be duplicated in the Arizona side across the Virgin River from
<PAGE> 6
Mesquite. The Mohave County Plan for that area estimates that a
population in that part of Arizona could reach 80,000 in the next
twenty years. Shadow Ridge has positioned itself to be the
utility of choice for all that area and management of the Company
sees it as one of the leading subsidiaries of the Company's
future.
The earnings from Shadow Ridge will not grow in direct
proportion to their customer growth. In most business, such a
relationship is natural. Management cannot expect that from this
Company because the customer growth for Shadow Ridge will be
rapid, for at least seven years. In addition, that relationship
does not hold true for this corporation. To put it in short and
simple terms, the expenses associated with the rapid growth will
outpace the revenues received from the new customers.
The assets of the Company will, however, grow in direct
proportion to developer activities. While we are responsible for
the waste treatment facilities, the wells, storage tanks and some
of the main transmission lines, the developer is responsible for
some of the main transmission lines, all the laterals and all the
service units. Upon completion of the developers responsibility
for the transmission and distribution systems, they are inspected
by Company personnel and then accepted from the developer. They
then become the assets of the Company.
In order to alleviate such a financial impact upon any of
our utility companies, that is only followed by earnings from a
slower customer growth than retail businesses experience, "impact
fees" are placed upon the developers that provide a return of
investment into the Company and alleviate the initial financial
impact and creates a return of investment that is comparable to
growth. Such fees charged to the developers range from $3,000.00
per unit to $6,000.00 per unit for residential developments.
It is reasonable to assume that the water and waste
treatment facilities for the area in the Arizona Strip serviced
by Shadow Ridge, will cost approximately $1.2 Million. Shadow
Ridge has an agreement with the developers wherein the developers
will pay to Shadow Ridge, $3,000.00 per unit on the first 475
homes in Phase I. The developers then would pay back as the homes
are built a total of $1,425,000 against the cost of the $1.2
Million and turn over to Shadow Ridge, assets of the
infrastructure of approximately $2.9 Million. There are three
developers with a total of 2,000 homes in the plans. There are,
of course, no guarantees that such numbers will be achieved.

REMOTE CONTROL OF WATER AND UTILITY METERS
------------------------------------------
The Company's entry into high tech utilities started with
the acquisition of HDB Telemetry and the acquisition of 20% of
HDB Telemtry-Canada. The remote control of water meters availing
the ability to monitor, control and bill water clients via
satellite/computer interlinks is what management believes to be
the way of the future.
Shadow Ridge is commencing to supply water to large housing
projects. In addition, with the planned acquisition of additional
utility companies, management feels that the building,
construction and expansion of the Company's utility company
subsidiaries should be with the latest technology which H.D.B.
Telemetry can supply, not only to the Company's subsidiaries but
to all utility companies.
That means a cost effective means of collecting water and
utility meter billing data and processing of the collected data.
Such a telemetry system is not only cost effective in systems
management, but allows ease of expansion in the system with
future acquisitions of other water companies.
In October, 1994, ORBCOMM was granted a USA commercial
license for the transmission of data to Low Earth Orbit (LEO)
Satellites. In October, 1998, ORBCOMM had completed placing 28
LEO satellites into orbit. In June, 1998, Houston Technologies
Inc. had secured a retail distributorship for the ORBCOMM SYSTEM
By December, 1998, Houston Technologies Inc. had effective one
way communication established through the system and by January
1999, effective two way communication was established giving the
ability to receive messaging/alarms and respond to them, all via
satellite. The micro processor developed by Houston Technology
gives the system full SCADA capabilities. Houston Technology
merged with H.D.B. Telemetry of Canada and started the H.D.B.
Telemetry System Corporation in the United States.
Electronic Water Meters with a data output port and a built-
in solenoid are installed at each dwelling on the oncoming water
or utility lines. A four pair line is run from the water or
utility meter to the outside of the dwelling and trenched into a
satellite communicator which is placed in a central location to
accommodate 20 homes. The micro processor within the communicator
would be programmed to extract data from the utility or water
meter on command or on a set frequency and then transfer the data
to the main or central office.
<PAGE> 8
The data would then be automatically rolled into the billing
software with limited possibility of corruption. Clerical staff
would only be required to print billing. Meters would be able to
be polled on demand from the central office for data. Water or
any utility could be turned off or on from the office without
having to enter onto the customer's property. This communication
system can also be used to control golf course irrigation and is
presently designed for installation into a twenty seven hole golf
course in Arizona.
All of the utility companies associated with the Company
will be utilizing the new type meters and H.D.B. Telemetry is
expected to begin international distribution in the first quarter
of 2000.
COMPETITION
-----------
The Company is aware that there are other holding companies
attempting to acquire independent water companies for
consolidation. However, the Company is not intimate with any of
these corporations. Citizens Utilities has attempted to purchase
the same independent water companies that the Company has and
five of the companies targeted by us have decided to accept our
acquisition offers. The share of the market that the Company can
achieve is estimated at 30% because of the marketing plan
implemented to identify independent companies considering take-
overs, the consolidation plans and the corporate representation
by legal representatives; however, the water and waste treatment
business is intensely competitive. The Company will be at a
disadvantage with some other companies which may have larger
staffing and greater financial and operational resources.
In the utility equipment businesses, in which H.D.B.
Telemetry is engaged, the marketing plan being developed by
H.D.B. Telemetry is to acquire national and international
distributors for the water meters and software package that is
monitored by satellite. In the related fields, H.D.B. Telemetry
is entering into the petroleum market that will allow petroleum
companies to monitor pumping, pressure, distribution and flow via
the Orsbcomm Satellite system. These systems are being custom
designed by H.D.B. Telemetry and during the year 2000, the
marketing will continue with custom designed systems for the
petroleum industry and the establishment of distributors in the
water and waste portion of the business plan.
<PAGE> 9
DEPENDENCE UPON ONE OR A FEW MAJOR CUSTOMERS
--------------------------------------------
Although the Company currently has no revenue, if it does
not make further acquisitions of operating water utility
companies, it will be dependent upon the development activities
of the Shadow Ridge water project for future revenue. Likewise,
HDB Telemetry is dependent upon the Company's activities and
acquisitions of water utility companies for its future revenues,
unless and until HDB Telemetry seeks unrelated, third-party
customers for revenue.

plans and the cash flow from operations acquired and planned
could and would fund its planned operations and acquisitions; the
complete effect to the Company's operations if lack of agreement
or cooperation with those third party investors on which the
company relies, the effect of the name recognition associated
with the utility industry in acquiring future and planned water
and waste treatment companies or the effects on the operations of
the Company if the Company were to lose the services of any of
its officers or directors or the management anticipated to be
acquired in the acquisitions; the role consolidation has in the
acquisition of the companies that is anticipated and the effects
on rate limitations levied by the Corporate Commissions or the
Utility Commissions, and the possible effect of misinterpretation
of new policies or lack of awareness could have on operations,

significantly from management's expectations.
<PAGE> 10
INTRODUCTION
------------
The Company is a holding company with two operating
subsidiaries: Shadow Ridge and H.D.B. Telemetry. Shadow Ridge
holds franchises for water and waste treatment utility services
on approximately 7,000 acres of land in the State of Arizona. It
has requests for Assurance of Service from three developers that
are currently awaiting their preliminary approval prior to
starting construction on the first phase of 435 homes within the
franchise area of Shadow Ridge.
H.D.B. Telemetry is a "start up" company that has developed
utility meters that can be read by satellite on OrbsComm and
through the system can transfer the data from Satellite directly
to the software billings with limited possibility of corruption.
There have not been any revenues from either subsidiary and
revenues are not expected from either until the third quarter of
2000.
The Company is designed to serve as a utility holding
company that would acquire and operate water utility companies
and waste treatment systems, first in Northwest Arizona and
eventually throughout the Southwestern United States. The Company
has negotiated agreements to acquire three operating water
utility companies in the region of Northwestern Arizona and are
expected to close on the acquisitions in the first quarter of
2000. The acquisitions, if and when completed, are expected to
produce for the Company an immediate increase in annual revenues
of approximately $600,000.00 per year.
Management's vision for the Company is to build a
substantial regional utility company through a strategic program
of acquiring water rights, service franchises and existing water
companies along the paths of predicted growth throughout the
desert regions of the Pacific Southwest. In this way, the
Corporation can systematically build equity, increase earnings
and maximize share value through the consolidation of the
companies acquired.
"New-build" systems as in the case of Shadow Ridge, will
utilize the latest in hi-tech plastic pipe, pumps and delivery
systems, which allow the smaller companies to become more
profitable and less expensive. Packaged waste treatment plants
are planned in all of the systems in which Shadow Ridge has been
petitioned for service. In the "new-build" systems, the assets of
the corporation grow in direct proportion to developer
activities. While the company is responsible for the waste
<PAGE> 11
treatment facility, wells, storage facilities and some of the
main transmission lines, the developer is responsible for the
mains, lateral's and service units. Upon completion of the
infrastructure (transmission and distribution system), the
developer deeds the infrastructure to the Company for ownership
and of course the utility assumes the maintenance after proper
inspection. Hence earnings from new-build systems do not grow in
direct proportion to the customer growth. This cost is off-set
through impact fees and tap fees paid by the developer which then
in turn, pays for the build out cost and the costs associated
with the assurance of continued service.
The featured direction of the Company is to acquire existing
water and waste treatment companies. The fundamental feature of
these investor owned water companies is that each is structured
in the holding company, servicing its customers through one or
more subsidiary companies, usually, but not necessarily, wholly
owned subsidiaries. The management of the Company's affairs is
centralized within its executive management team and its Board of
Directors. As of December 31, 1999, the Company's net
shareholders equity was $2,551,723 or $0.48 per share. Net
shareholder's equity (also called "book value") per share
represented the amount of the total assets of the Company from
its audited balance sheet, reduced by the amount of its total
liabilities, divided by the total number of shares of Common
Stock issued and outstanding.
To ensure the continued operations to effect the business
plan for the year 2000, the Chairman of the Board and the
President of the Corporation have assigned proceeds from their
personal bonds in the amount of $592,050.00 which will be
sufficient to move the corporation into the acquisition phases of
the business plan. It is reasonable to assume that such funds
shall be sufficient and the total may not be required.
Relationships with investment groups have enabled the
corporation to move into the acquisition phases of the business
plan and three companies that have agreed to acquisition terms
are in the review process. It is anticipated that all three
companies shall pass the reviews and be acquired by the
Corporation. The Company anticipates that all three of these
shall pass the reviews and the acquisitions could be completed,
if at all, by the end of May of the year 2000. The Company also
anticipates that it might acquire a minimum of two water or
utility-related corporations in 2000.
<PAGE> 12
Because of the anticipated acquisition of these three (or
more) companies, it is expected that the Company would add a
minimum of three additional employees by May, 2000. Consolidation
efforts would probably reduce the number of employees of the
companies that might be acquired, by approximately six personnel.
Year 2000
---------
Neither the Company, nor its subsidiaries, has had any
negative effects from the year 2000 date change and management
does not expect any material issues to arise in the future in
this regard. The year 2000 was not considered a problem or a
threat to the Company or any of our subsidiaries. All the
programs were checked by the technicians from H.D.B. Telemetry
and were all considered Y2K compliant, including all the software
designs of H.D.B. Telemetry.
ITEM 3. DESCRIPTION OF PROPERTY
The Company leases approximately 2000 square feet of office
space at 2950 E. Flamingo Rd., Suite F, Las Vegas, NV 89121 for
its corporate offices. The monthly payment on this space is
$500 and the lease expires on January 1, 2002. The use of this
space is expected to be sufficient for the Company's needs until
approximately 2002.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT
I have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of
Great Basin Water Company as of December 31, 1999, and the related
income statement, cash flows and stockholders' equity for the period
ended December 31, 1999. These financial statements are the
responsibility of the Company's management. My responsibility
is to express an opinion on these consolidated 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 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 consolidated financial statements referred to
above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial
position of Great Basin Water Company as of December 31, 1999 and
December 31, 1998, and the results of its income, cash flows, and
stockholders' equity for the periods then ended in conformity
with generally accepted accounting principles.

Great Basin Water Company
A Development Company
Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
For the period beginning January 1, 1999
and ending December 31, 1999
1. Organization of the Company
Great Basin Water Company, (the "Company") was incorporated
on August 27, 1997, under the laws of the State of Nevada.
The Company was organized to facilitate the dispersion of
water to areas with limited population.
The Company is currently a publicly traded company.
2. Stock Transactions
The Company issued 500,000 shares of stock in an offering in
January 1998. The majority of the proceeds received in this
offering were utilized to cover operations of the Company,
and to pay certain obligations of Shadow Ridge Water Company,
a wholly owned subsidiary.
Shadow Ridge Water Company was acquired November 1, 1998.
The Company issued 1,000,000 shares of restricted common
stock, with a par value of $0.001 per share. The value of
the stock at that time is estimated to be approximately $2.00
per share, for a total of $2,000,000. This amount is
reflected on the Consolidated Balance Sheet under Investment
in Shadow Ridge, Access Road and Improvements, and under
Restricted Stock. Management has determined the value of the
stock as of the acquisition date, but expects this estimate
to be conservative.
The Company retired 1,683,713 shares of stock in June of
1999. These were all shares from the first issuance of stock
at the Company's inception.
3. Land and Well Acquisitions
In February of 1999, the Company acquired four water wells
with pumps and 2,733.35 acre feet of water in in exchange for
7,500 shares of Preferred Stock. (See Statement of Capital
Accounts). The wells and pumps have a rated capacity of
approximately 1,850,000 gallons per day, more than adequate
to to supply developments for which the Company has provided
Assurances of Service. Groundwater acquired was valued at
approximately $166.00 per acre foot.

The Investment in Shadow Ridge is net of the access road and
improvements. The access road is 3.04 miles in length, and
184 feet wide. Book value includes the costs associated with
surveying, engineering, and mapping of 7.5 miles of mains and

includes the costs of aquisition of three separate franchises
from Mohave County, Arizona.
A parcel of land was purchased for $55,000 and holds Well #1.
A parcel of land was acquired on which it is planned that a
waste treatment plant will be constructed.
4. Accounts and Notes Payable
The Shareholder payable on the Balance Sheet represents
operating expenses of the Company which were paid by the
shareholder and will be reimbursed to him.
The Notes Payable to Shareholder represent outstanding notes
which were made with Shadow Ridge prior to the acquisition,
and are now the obligation of the Company.
A note payable in the amount of $55,000 was issued to Derral
Christensen for the land which holds Well #1.
A note in the amount of $80,000 was given in exchange for the
land where the water treatement plant will be contructed.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT
I have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of
Great Basin Water Company as of December 31, 1998, and the related
income statement, cash flows and stockholders' equity as of
December 31, 1998. These financial statements are the
responsibility of the Company's management. My responsibility
is to express an opinion on these consolidated 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 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 consolidated financial statements referred to
above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial
position of Great Basin Water Company as of December 31, 1999 and
December 31, 1998, and the results of its income, cash flows, and
stockholders' equity for the periods then ended in conformity
with generally accepted accounting principles.
