Item 2. Acquisition or Disposition of Assets
- --------------------------------------------
On July 9, 1999 World House Entertainment, Inc. ("Registrant") merged with
800 America, Inc. ("America") pursuant to an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the
"Merger Agreement") and issued in the aggregate 10,000,000 shares of its
restricted common stock to the three shareholders of America. See Item 1 above.
Pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement, Registrant remains as the
surviving corporation and, following the closing of the Merger, is now in the
process of changing its name to 800 AMERICA.COM, Inc. Following completion of
the Merger, the new shareholders of Registrant now own 10,000,000 out of
11,950,000 total shares issued and outstanding, or 83.7%. Under the terms of the
Merger Agreement which was approved by the shareholders of Registrant, the
Registrant's wholly owned and only operating subsidiary, Songs For The Planet,
Inc. was purchased by Elizabeth Peters, the Company's former President, for Ten
Dollars and other good and valuable consideration and all debt owed by Songs For
The Planet, Inc. to Registrant was forgiven as of the closing date of the
Merger.
Closing of the transaction was subject to shareholder approval of both
Registrant and America. Proxies were not solicited by Registrant. Instead,
Registrant obtained shareholder approval by written consent as provided under
Section 78.320 of the Nevada General Corporation Law. The current shareholders
of the Registrant who did not join in the above described consent may dissent
and obtain fair value for their shares as provided by the Nevada General
Corporation Law. Registrant does not expect any shareholders of Registrant to
exercise their dissenter's rights. No registration statement will be filed
covering the issuance of shares to the America shareholders because Registrant
believes such issuance is exempt from the registration requirements of the
Securities Act of 1933 by virtue of Rule 506 and Section 4(2) of the Act.

America was formed as a Delaware corporation on March 26, 1999 for the
purpose of operating a shopping mall web site. America derives revenue from two
sources: (1) an annual $10.00 membership fee is charged to members that entitles
such members to shop on-line at America's web site. The web site allows members
access to over one hundred fifty stores, including many nationally known and
recognized retailers, and offers such members a rebate of from 3% to 10% on
purchases made through the web site; (2) rent and commission fees from the
merchants and retailers whose stores are represented at America's web site.
Rents vary between one hundred and two hundred dollars per month per retailer
and commissions are based upon the volume of sales from members. America's
assets consist of a web site, equipment, fixtures and a membership/subscriber
base that numbers approximately 70,000. America's executive offices are located
at 1200 South Mount Juliet Road (mailing address P.O. Box 291029), Nashville, TN
37229, (888) 855-9872.
Registrant determined that the proposed transaction with America would
significantly increase Registrant's revenue and income generating potential and
gain Registrant access to the exploding internet market for on-line shopping.
There is no relationship between Registrant or its affiliates, officers or
directors and America or its affiliates, officers and directors.
The exchange ratio provided for in the Merger Agreement of 6,666.67 shares
of Registrant's common stock for each share of America common stock was arrived
at by arms length negotiation based upon the revenues, income and potential for
growth of America as of the time the transaction was negotiated.
The Registrant intends to continue the business of America in the same
manner as prior to the Merger.
Item 6. Resignations of Directors and Executive Officers.
- ---------------------------------------------------------
Effective July 9, 1999 and as required by the terms of the Merger Agreement
between Registrant and 800 America, Inc., Elizabeth Ann Peters and Benjamin
Justin Peters resigned as directors and executive officers of the Registrant and
the persons listed above under Item 1(b) were designated to serve as directors
and executive officers until their successors are elected and qualified or until

P. 0. Box 291029
Nashville, TN 37229
I have audited the accompanying balance sheet of 800 America Inc., a Delaware
Corporation, as of May 31, 1999 and the related statements of income,
stockholder's equity and cash flows for the two months then ended. These
financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. My
responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on
my audit.
I conducted my audit in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards.
Those standards require that I plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable
assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting
the amounts and 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 800 America Inc. at May 31, 1999
and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the two months then
ended in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.
Sincerely,

rebate shopping mail located in Nashville Tennessee. The company consist of
stores from all parts of the country ranging from some of the largest and best
known stores to some of the smaller regional stores and shoppers (subscribers).
Each store in the mal offers a rebate on all purchases ranging from three to ten
percent based on each store's policy. Upon proof of purchase from the subscriber
the company accrues the rebate expense and files for a refund with the selling
store. The company records the refund as income when received. The company has
been in full operation for two months (April and May 1999) with partial
operations during a development period in February and March 1999. The
development period was conducted by a related company (see Note 3 Capitalization
of Assets - Related Parties).
Cash and Cash Equivalents - The company's cash consist of an unrestricted
checking account. Cash equivalents are defined as short term instruments with an
original maturity date of three months or less. The company does not have any
cash equivalents.
Account Receivable - The company in its two months of operations has acquired
accounts receivables balances of $87,300 which consist primarily of subscribers
fees. As of May 31, 1999 all subscriptions will be required to be paid by credit

balance.
Accounts Payable - Consist of normal trade accounts and amount to $22,424.

Income Taxes - The company accounts for income taxes under Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes (SFAS 109).
SFAS 109 is an asset and liability approach that requires the recognition of
deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of
events that have been recognized in the company's financial statements or tax
returns. In estimating future tax consequences, SFAS 109 generally considers all
expected future events other than the enactment of changes in the tax law or
rates. Income tax due is estimated at $21,400. There are no accounting
differences in book and tax accounting or between statutory and effective tax
rates expected at year end. The allowance for bad debts, $13,095, approximates
the estimated amount of specific bad debt charge off for tax purposes at year
end.
<PAGE>
Use of Estimates - The preparation of financial statements in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates
and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and
accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from these estimates.
Comparative Financial Statements - The company was incorporated at March 26,
1999 therefore there are no prior periods to be compared and these are not
comparative statements.

income. Comprehensive income and net income are the same.

3) and depreciated on the straight line basis over their estimated useful lives
ranging from three to five years.
Operating Lease - The company's lease on its location will expire October
31,1999. The company pays one thousand dollars ($ 1,000) per month. Lease
payments to date are two thousand dollars ($2,000) with five thousand dollars
($5,000) due over the remainder of the lease period.

for cash and cash equivalents approximate its fair value.
Accounts Receivable, Accounts Payable and Customer Rebate Payables - The
carrying amount of accounts receivable, accounts payable and customer rebates
due in the Balance Sheet approximate fair value.

be entitled upon such surrender to receive in exchange therefor a certificate or
certificates representing the number of Surviving Shares into which the America
Shares or World House Shares theretofore represented by the certificate or
certificates so surrendered shall have been converted as aforesaid. Until so
surrendered and exchanged, each outstanding certificate which, prior to the

Shares or World House Shares, however, the record holder of the certificate or
certificates of Surviving Shares issued in exchange therefor shall receive from
the Exchange Agent or from the Surviving Corporation, as the case may be,
payment of the amount of dividends or other distributions, if any, which
theretofore as of any date subsequent to the Effective Date were paid by the
Surviving Corporation to the Exchange Agent or to itself with respect to such
number of Surviving Shares. No interest shall be payable with respect to the
payment of such dividends and distributions upon surrender of certificates
theretofore representing America Shares or World House Shares. All such
dividends and distributions claimed at the termination of the appointment of the
Exchange Agent shall be released or repaid by the Exchange Agent to the
Surviving Corporation to be held by it in trust for the holders of the Surviving
Shares entitled thereto, and thereafter the holders of the Surviving Shares not
receiving payment of such dividends and distributions shall look only to the
Surviving Corporation for payment thereof, subject to possible forfeiture under
applicable escheat laws.

assets subject thereto or affected thereby, or otherwise materially impair
business operations. All leases pursuant to which America leases any substantial
amount of real or personal property are in good standing, valid and effective in
accordance with their respective terms, and under none of these leases is there

proceeding, which might materially and adversely affect the overall financial
condition, business or property of America is pending or, to the knowledge of

on reasonable terms, adequate patent rights or other rights to use patent
rights, inventions, trademarks, service marks, trade names and copyrights
necessary to conduct the business now operated by it, and America has not
received any notice of infringement of or conflict with asserted rights of
others with respect to any patent, patent rights, inventions, trademarks,
service marks, trade names or copyrights which, individually or in the
aggregate, if subject of an unfavorable decision, ruling or finding, would have
