UNNUMBERED ITEM: INTRODUCTION
This registration statement is voluntarily filed pursuant to Section 12(g)
of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, in order to comply with the requirements
of National Association of Securities Dealers for submission for quotation on
the Over the Counter Bulletin Board, often called "OTCBB". This Registrant's
common stock is not presently quoted on the OTCBB. The Registrant's common stock
is qualified for listing over the counter in the "Pink Sheets"; however the
Registrant does not believe that any of its shares ever traded in brokerage
transactions. The requirements of the OTCBB are that the financial statements
and information about the Registrant be reported periodically to the Commission
and be and become information that the public can access easily. This Registrant
wishes to report and provide disclosure voluntarily, and will file periodic
reports in the event that its obligation to file such reports is suspended under
the Exchange Act. If and when this 1934 Act Registration may be clear of
comments by the staff, this Registrant will be eligible for consideration for
the OTCBB upon submission of one or more NASD members for permission to publish
quotes for the purchase and sale of the shares of the common stock of the
Registrant.
This Registrant may be the subject of a "Reverse Acquisition". A reverse
acquisition is the acquisition of a private ("Target") company by a public
company, by which the private company's shareholders acquire control of the
public company. While no negotiations are in progress, and no potential targets
have been identified, the business plan of this Registrant is to find such a
target or targets, and attempt to acquire them for stock. While no such
arrangements or plans have been adopted or are presently under consideration, it
would be expected that a reverse acquisition of a target company or business
would be associated with some private placements and/or limited offerings of
common stock of this Registrant for cash. Such placements, or offerings, if and
when made or extended, would be made with disclosure and reliance on the
businesses and assets to be acquired, and not upon the present condition of this
Registrant.
ITEM 1. DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS.
(A) BUSINESS DEVELOPMENT.
(1) FORM AND YEAR OF ORGANIZATION. This Corporation ("the Registrant")
was duly incorporated in Nevada on December 18, 1997, as DP Charters, Inc., with
the intention of initiating a charter yacht service from the Dana Point Harbor,
Orange County, California. The Registrant later expanded its business plan to
include the organization of scuba dive tours at various world locations.
During October, November and December of 1997, the conceptual idea of
establishing a charter boat operation in Southern California was discussed among
the Registrant's Management, and with various friends and acquaintances. The
decision to form a company to be funded by those in discussion was taken, based
upon the expressed desire of those founders to fund the Registrant
initially, pursuant to a private placement in reliance on Rule 504. The formal
funding by founders was memorialized about January of 1998.
Specifically, 20,000,000 shares were issued at par value to the Principal
Shareholder, pursuant to Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933. 6,400,000
shares (with warrants) were placed among 19 accredited investors, pursuant to
Regulation D, Rule 504, promulgated by the Commission pursuant to Section 3(b)
of the 1933 Act. All warrants have expired or been cancelled and are no longer
of any further force or effect. Thereafter, in January and April 1999, 6,000
shares and 1,250,000 shares, respectively, were placed pursuant to Rule 504, in
each case to a single sophisticated and knowledgeable investor. Each of the
foregoing issuances where made, were applicable, to specific exemptions from
registration pursuant to State Law. In the judgement of Management, there is no
3
<PAGE>
unresolved issue or potential issue of non-compliance with State Laws or
regulation.
The Registrant had ambitious plans, at that time, to network through travel
agencies, upon observing that none of the notable competitors were so networked.
The Registrant's plans included the development of networking with firms
marketing tour packages or tour clubs and firms which could utilize the
Registrant's charter services as a value-added supplement to their Southern
California operations. Emphasis was to be placed on identifying easy access to
Dana Point Harbor, twenty minutes from Orange County Airport, one hour from San
Diego Airport or from Los Angeles International Airport. Arrangements with Dana
Point were investigated and the feasibility of its use determined. Management
further planned to make its services known to the American Association of
Retired Persons, which organization accounts for nearly 500,000 members touring
Southern California during the off-season. Plans were made to join the Dana
Point Chamber of Commerce, which would provide a cost-free listing in the
California tourism magazine and information data-base, with circulation of just
under one million copies in six counties and automatic posting with all major
hotels throughout the State of California. Plans were made for an Internet
web-page, linked to that of the Dana Point Chamber of Commerce.
All of these intentions, and the best laid plans of Management, were
dependant, however, upon securing boats and/or participating boat owners or
providers, so that the services could be offered.
On or about March 5, 1998 and continuing through September, tentative
arrangements were reached to acquire boats from a provider in Norway, which had
acquired them in foreclosure of a lien, but had no profitable operation in which
to use them. The concept was to acquire the boats for stock, but the arrangement
called for the common stock of the Registrant's achieving acceptance for
quotation on the OTC Bulletin Board. During 1998, the Registrant paid a
consulting fee to the Norwegian group for a joint marketing, advertising and
referral program to bring northern European tourists to Southern California's
sport fishing market. During 1998 arrangements were made with scuba diving tour
group leaders in Florida and Mexico, for possible dive tours in the Florida
Keys, the Great Barrier Reef of Australia, the Island of Cozumel off the Yucatan
Peninsula of Mexico, and the seas off Egypt.
By the end of June, 1998, the Registrant's then current unaudited financial
statements, indicated a net loss from operations of $155,544.00, $102,470.00 of
which represented consulting fees directed to Norway. The Registrant's ability
to launch was yet dependent upon OTC Bulletin Board acceptance, and comments
between the NASD Staff and NASD submitting members were on-going. Delay due to
NASD Commenting period for start-up companies was not deemed unusual by
management, but shortly before the review of the last set of Comments, the NASD
changed its rules for acceptability for new applicant submitter to the effect
that the class of common stock to be quoted must have been registered under the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934 Act, or the Registrant must have made an
offering under the Securities Act of 1933, such that the applicant have a
Commission file number and actually file and remain current in filing its
financial statements with the Commission, and be accessible to the public.
Accordingly, the NASD responded to the final set of Comments by qualifying the
Registrant's common stock for quotation on the Pink Sheets, but not on the
OTCBB.
As a result of the poor timing of events, from the Registrant's point of
view, the Registrant was unable to consummate the acquisition of the boats and
was forced to abandon its original business plan. After some unsuccessful
efforts to launch operations, the original business plan was abandoned, on or
about May 15, 1999.
After abandoning its business plan, it became a company whose business plan
was to find a profitable business combination. As a practical matter, the
Registrant is required to register its common stock pursuant to Section 12(g) of
the 1934 Act and to pursue acceptance for quotation on the OTCBB if it is to
4
<PAGE>
have any chance to compete with other issuers or registrants, for business
combinations by reverse acquisition. Substantially all of it's non-affiliate
owned shares have become or were from issuance free of restriction in conformity
with Rule 144, and might be resold in brokerage transactions, in compliance with
that Rule, if and when the common stock of this Registrant might become
qualified for quotation and trading on the OTCBB. There are no lock-up or
shareholder pooling agreements between or among shareholders of this Registrant.
All shares are owned and controlled independently by the persons to whom they
are issued. This Registrant has no Internet address.
(2) BANKRUPTCY, RECEIVERSHIP OR SIMILAR PROCEEDING. None from inception
to date.
(B) BUSINESS OF THE REGISTRANT. The Registrant has no present business or
business plan. It is a potential candidate for business combination, most likely
in the form of a reverse acquisition or similar transaction.
CONSULTANTS. This Registrant has only a single consultant, namely its the
United States subsidiary of its principal shareholder, Intrepid International
Ltd., a Nevada Corporation. Information about the Principal Shareholder, and its
Nevada United States subsidiary is found later in this Registration Statement.
The U.S. management of that subsidiary serves as the management of this
Registrant. No other consultants are presently engaged nor are there any plans
to retain any consultants currently or for the foreseeable future. The Norwegian
consultants previously mentioned were specific to the previous business plan,
now abandoned, and maintain no relationship to the Registrant or any of its
affiliates. It is, of course, conceivable that should a target business be
acquired, one or more consultants may be sought out by the management of the
acquired entity, following a change of control. As of this time, there is no
basis upon which Management could base anything more than mere speculation as to
what manner of consultants, what criteria for seeking or selecting consultants,
or what term of service any such consultant might require; for the reason that
all such consideration would be matters before the Management of the Registrant
only after a change of control which would result from a reverse acquisition.
Neither Management of this Registrant, nor the Principal Shareholder, nor
Officers, nor Directors or affiliates of this Registrant have regularly used any
particular consultants on a regular basis.
NO PRESENT ACQUISITION ACTIVITIES. This Registrant is not presently
pursuing its business plan, for the reason that such activities are not timely.
They are not timely because this Registrant must qualify itself for quotation on
the Over the Counter Bulletin Board ("OTCBB") before it can enter the arena of
seeking any business combination by reverse acquisition. The process of
qualifying for OTCBB requires first that this registrant become a reporting
company pursuant to this 1934 Act Registration Statement. The process next
requires that a Broker/Dealer make a submission to the National Association of
Securities Dealers ("NASD") for permission to publish quotations for the
purchase and sale of the common stock of this Registrant on the OTCBB. It would
be the policy of this Registrant to employ a consultant to seek a broker/dealer
to become such a submitting market-maker in the common stock of this Registrant.
Neither this Registrant, nor any of its affiliates, are Broker/Dealers or NASD
members. Since this Registrant's common stock is presently quoted on the Pink
Sheets, it is likely that one or more existing Market-Makers would apply for
up-grade from the Pink Sheets to the OTCBB, without the necessity of this
Registrant's employing any consultants therefor. When and if an NASD member
Broker/Dealer might make such a submission to NASD, the Staff of NASD would
evaluate the submission and the due diligence investigation and would make
comments and requests for further information, deemed appropriate to that Staff,
over a period of some months, before granting permission for the submitting
Market-Maker to begin publishing quotations. Until such time as permission may
be granted, no quotations would be published on the OTCBB. While quotations
might be published on the Pink Sheets, such quotations do not, in the judgment
of Management, constitute the basis for the creation or development of an
orderly trading market for the common stock of this Registrant. In arriving at
this opinion, that the Pink Sheets do not constitute the equivalent of OTCBB,
Management must consider not only its own opinion, but its assessment of the
opinions of those with whom it might evaluate a reverse acquisition.
Accordingly, Management reports its conclusion that a search for an acquisition
5
<PAGE>
target is premature, and that it would remain premature for some months, until
and unless the common stock of this Registrant may be quoted on the OTCBB.
GENERAL INFORMATION ABOUT PROBABLE FUTURE ACQUISITIONS. Notwithstanding the
conclusion and report that searching for possible acquisition targets is
premature, the Registrant can and will now disclose and report its general
intentions and policies, with respect to probable future acquisitions.
LIMITED SCOPE AND NUMBER OF POSSIBLE ACQUISITIONS: The Registrant does not
intend to restrict its consideration to any particular business or industry
segment, and the Registrant may consider, among others, finance, brokerage,
insurance, transportation, communications, research and development, service,
natural resources, manufacturing or high-technology. Of course, because of the
Registrant's limited resources, the scope and number of suitable candidate
business ventures available will be limited accordingly, and most likely the
Registrant will not be able to participate in more than a single business
venture. Accordingly, it is anticipated that the Registrant will not be able to
diversify, but may be limited to one merger or acquisition because of limited
financing. This lack of diversification will not permit the Registrant to offset
potential losses from one business opportunity against profits from another. To
a large extent, a decision to participate in a specific business opportunity may
be made upon management's analysis of the quality of the other firm's management
and personnel, the anticipated acceptability of new products or marketing
concepts, the merit of technological changes and numerous other factors which
are difficult, if not impossible, to analyze through the application of any
objective criteria. In many instances, it is anticipated that the historical
operations of a specific firm may not necessarily be indicative of the potential
for the future because of the necessity to substantially shift a marketing
approach, expand operations, change product emphasis, change or substantially
augment management, or make other changes. The Registrant will be dependent upon
the management of a business opportunity to identify such problems and to
implement, or be primarily responsible for the implementation of, required
changes. Because the Registrant may participate in a business opportunity with a
newly organized firm or with a firm which is entering a new phase of growth, it
should be emphasized that the Registrant may incur further risk due to the
failure of the target's management to have proven its abilities or
effectiveness, or the failure to establish a market for the target's products or
services, or the failure to prove or predict profitability.
LOAN FINANCING NOT ANTICIPATED. There are no foreseeable circumstances
under which loan financing will be sought or needed by this Registrant, other
than possible advances by its Principal Shareholder, at any time before it may
identify and commit itself to an acquisition candidate. At such time, if any,
such loan financing would be secured on the basis of that acquisition by and
with the owners of the acquisition target. In the absence of any present
probability of acquisition, no further information can be offered at this time.
REPORTING UNDER THE 1934 ACT. This Registrant has become a 1934 Act
Reporting Company, by operation of law due the passage time since its initial
filling. As of the date of this amended filing, the Registrant has not cleared
comments of the Staff of SEC. As a 1934 Registrant is required to file an Annual
Report on Form 10-K or 10-KSB, 90 days following the end of its fiscal year. The
key element of such annual filing is Audited Financial Statements prepared in
accordance with standards established by the Commission. A 1934 Act Registrant
also reports on the share ownership of affiliates and 5% owners, initially,
currently and annually. In addition to the annual reporting, a Registrant is
required to file quarterly reports on Form 10-Q or 10-QSB, containing audited or
un-audited financial statements, and reporting other material events. Some
events are deemed material enough to require the filing of a Current Report on
Form 8-K. Any events may be reported currently, but some events, like changes or
disagreements with auditors, resignation of directors, major acquisitions and
other changes require aggressive current reporting. All reports are filed and
become public information. There are other reporting obligations of a 1934 Act
registered company, including periodic reports of activities by significant
shareholders.
The practical effects of the foregoing requirements on the criteria for
selection of a target company are two-fold: first, the target must have audited
or auditable financial statements, and the target must complete an audit for
filing promptly upon the consummation of any acquisition; and, second, that the
target management must be ready, willing and able to carry forth those reporting
requirements or face de-listing from the OTCBB, if listed, and delinquency and
possible liability for failure to report.
PROBABLE INDUSTRY SEGMENTS FOR ACQUISITION. While the Registrant may
consider proposals from a wide variety of business segments, Management is aware
that high-technology and new communication technologies, internet and
information services, are an area of current interest. Management feels that it
is most likely that a business combination candidate will be selected in these
industry segments. This present inclination of management may change, as pubic
and market interests may change, and is not a formal policy or commitment of
this Registrant. Due to circumstances unique to this Registrant, it is not in a
position to consider any specific proposal for the use of this Registrant in
reverse merger transactions, for the reason that it is not now qualified for
quotation on the OTC Bulletin Board, and will not be, if at all, for an
indeterminant number of months. There is no present or foreseeable potential
that this Registrant will acquire a target business or company in which its
present management or principal shareholder, or affiliates, have an ownership
interest. Consideration has been given to corporate policy in this regard, and
it has been determined not to permit any transaction in other than an arm's
length acquisition of business assets owned and controlled by unrelated third
party interests. The basis for this policy is two fold: first, that related
party transactions are unnecessary in the judgment of management and involve
risks not necessary to invite; and second that related party transactions do not
offer the potential profitability for shareholders, that management believes
exists presently in the market place for public issuers amenable to
reverse/merger transactions.
FINDERS FEES FOR MANAGEMENT. No finder's fees will be payable to Management
in connection with any forseeable reverse acetin. Management is identified with
the principal shareholder. The Principal Shareholder's remaining share ownership
following any reverse acquisition, and the Principal Shareholder might be
expected to sell its controlling interest for consideration from the acquiring
shareholders of the acquisition target. Depending on the quality of the target
company, the principal shareholder may sell all, some or none of the control
block, as matters for arm's length deal-making, when it comes to that stage.
Such a sale of shares, if any, by affiliates, promoters or their transferees, to
effect a change of control would not be entitled to reliance on Rule 144, but
would result in the creation of new restricted securities under Rule 144(a), by
its terms, and by analogy to Rule 145. This is because Rule 144 is not available
for promoters or affiliates of blank check companies, as well as their
transferees, and, therefore, any sales by them would have to be registered or
qualify for an exemption. Additionally, the Principal Shareholder is the
Principal Consultant and provides, has provided and may provide corporate
services to the Registrant, billable hourly in an established and customary
manner. No finders fees, commissions or other bonuses to Management, Principal
Shareholder, or affiliates, for securing or in connection with any acquisition,
will be paid or payable, as a matter of both current economic conditions and
corporate policy. Management has determined that in its view of the current
market for such transactions, such fees or bonuses are not justifiable.
DISCRETION TO ALLOCATE OPPORTUNITIES. It is disclosed here and elsewhere,
that the Management of this Registrant is also the Management of its Principal
Shareholder, and that the Principal Shareholder has other businesses than the
Management of this Registrant. Those other business activities include providing
professional consulting services to other public or private corporations in
which the principal shareholder and its officers are not involved directly in
management, as officers, directors or principal shareholders. Mr. Sifford and
Mr. James, or either of them, may from time to time serve as interim officers of
other corporations. Some clients of Intrepid International are, from time to
time, corporations which have failed to achieve previous business goals, or
which have engaged in businesses which have failed or been abandoned.
Accordingly, it is inherent in this relationship that Management and the
Principal Shareholder may be in a position to introduce one or more business
opportunities to this the shareholder of this Registrant, or to direct such
6
<PAGE>
opportunities to other business interests, private or public corporations, or
unrelated investors. This is an inherent potential conflict of interest which
may or may not become material in the future. At present, no acquisition is
probable or reasonably practical.
(1) PRINCIPAL PRODUCTS OR SERVICES AND THEIR MARKETS. None.
(2) DISTRIBUTION METHODS OF THE PRODUCTS OR SERVICES. None.
(3) STATUS OF ANY PUBLICLY ANNOUNCED NEW PRODUCT OR SERVICE. None.
(4) COMPETITIVE BUSINESS CONDITIONS AND THE SMALL BUSINESS REGISTRANT'S
COMPETITIVE POSITION IN THE INDUSTRY. Other better capitalized firms are engaged
in the search for acquisitions or business combinations which firms may be able
to offer more and may be more attractive to acquisition candidates. This
Registrant has not yet become a present candidate for reverse acquisition
transactions, for the reasons previously stated. It may become so in the future,
and becoming so when it can is its business plan. It is doubtful whether any
such transaction could be anticipated in the next twelve months. There is no
compelling reason why this Registrant should be preferred over other
reverse-acquisition public corporation candidates. It has no significant pool of
cash can offer no capital formation incentive for its selection. It has a
limited shareholder base insufficient for acquisition target wishing to proceed
for application to NASDAQ. In comparison to other "public shell companies" this
Registrant is unimpressive, in the judgement of management, and totally lacking
in unique features which would make it more attractive or competitive than other
"public shell companies". While management believes that the competition of
other "public shell companies" is intense and growing, it has no basis on which
to quantify its impression. Please See the Item 2 of this part, Management
Discussion and Analysis, for more information and disclosure.
(5) SOURCES OF AND AVAILABILITY OF RAW MATERIALS AND THE NAMES OF
PRINCIPAL SUPPLIERS. Not Applicable.
(6) DEPENDANCE ON ONE OR A FEW MAJOR CUSTOMERS. Not Applicable.
(7) PATENTS, TRADEMARKS, LICENSES, FRANCHISES, CONCESSIONS, ROYALTY
AGREEMENTS OR LABOR CONTRACTS. None.
(8) NEED FOR ANY GOVERNMENT APPROVAL OF PRINCIPAL PRODUCTS OR SERVICES
AND STATUS. Not applicable.
(9) EFFECT OF EXISTING OR PROBABLE GOVERNMENTAL REGULATIONS ON THE
BUSINESS. Not applicable. However, this Registrant would expect to maintain its
corporate status with the State of its incorporation, and would file its tax
returns and reports required to be filed with the Commission. This Registrant
wishes to report and provide disclosure voluntarily, and will file periodic
reports in the event that its obligation to file such reports is suspended under
the Exchange Act. If and when this 1934 Act Registration is effective and clear
of comments by the staff, this Registrant will be eligible for consideration for
the OTCBB upon submission of one or more NASD members for permission to publish
quotes for the purchase and sale of the shares of the common stock of the
Registrant. In connection with such submission and any continuation on the
OTCBB, this Registrant would expect to comply with NASD regulations, to the
extent that any such regulations are applicable to the conduct of the
Registrant's affairs.
(10) ESTIMATE OF AMOUNT SPENT ON RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT IN EACH OF LAST
TWO YEARS. None.
(11) COSTS AND EFFECTS OF COMPLIANCE WITH ENVIRONMENTAL LAWS. None at
this time.
(12) NUMBER OF TOTAL EMPLOYEES AND FULL-TIME EMPLOYEES. None.
7
<PAGE>
(13) YEAR 2000 COMPLIANCE ISSUES. None. The Registrant has no computers
or digital equipment of its own, no suppliers or customers. Accordingly, the
Registrant has determined that it is faced with no year 2000 compliance issues
other than those shared by the public in general.
ITEM 2. MANAGEMENTS DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OR PLAN OF OPERATION.
(A) PLAN OF OPERATION. This Registrant was duly incorporated in Nevada on
December 18, 1997, as DP Charters, Inc., with the intention of initiating a
charter yacht service from the Dana Point Harbor, Orange County, California. The
Registrant later expanded its business plan to include the organization of scuba
dive tours at various world locations. After some unsuccessful efforts to launch
operations, the original business plan was abandoned, on or about May 15, 1999.
The Registrant has no present business or business plan other than to seek a
profitable business combination, most likely in a reverse acquisition or similar
transaction. Accordingly, its plan is to seek one or more profitable business
combinations or acquisitions to secure profitability for shareholders.
PLAN OF OPERATION FOR THE NEXT TWELVE MONTHS. This Registrant's Management,
Mr. James and Mr. Sifford, are the Officers and Directors of Intrepid
International Ltd. a Nevada corporate subsidiary of Intrepid International, S.A.
a Panama corporation. These two entities are referred to collectively as the
"Principal Shareholder" of this Registrant.
This Registrant is not presently pursuing its business plan, for the reason
that such activities are not timely. They are not timely because this Registrant
must qualify itself for quotation on the Over the Counter Bulletin Board
("OTCBB") before it can enter the arena of seeking any business combination by
reverse acquisition. The process of qualifying for OTCBB requires first that
this Registrant become a reporting company pursuant to this 1934 Act
Registration Statement. The process next requires that a Broker/Dealer make a
submission to the National Association of Securities Dealers ("NASD") for
permission to publish quotations for the purchase and sale of the common stock
of this Registrant on the OTCBB. It would be the policy of this Registrant to
employ a consultant to seek a broker/dealer to become such a submitting
market-maker in the common stock of this Registrant. Neither this Registrant,
nor any of its affiliates, are Broker/Dealers or NASD members. Since this
Registrant's common stock is presently quoted on the Pink Sheets, it is likely
that one or more existing Market-Makers would apply for up-grade from the Pink
Sheets to the OTCBB, without the necessity of this Registrant's employing any
consultants therefor. When and if an NASD member Broker/Dealer might make such a
submission to NASD, the Staff of NASD would evaluate the submission, and the due
diligence investigation, and would make comments and requests for further
information, deemed appropriate to that Staff, over a period of some months,
before granting permission for the submitting Market-Maker to begin publishing
quotations. Until such time as permission may be granted, no quotations would be
published on the OTCBB. While quotations might be published on the Pink Sheets,
such quotations do not, in the judgment of Management, constitute the basis for
the creation or development of an orderly trading market for the common stock of
this Registrant. In arriving at this opinion, that the Pink Sheets do not
constitute the equivalent of OTCBB, Management must consider not only its own
opinion, but its assessment of the opinions of those with whom it might evaluate
a reverse acquisition. Accordingly, Management reports its conclusion that a
search for an acquisition target is premature, and that it would remain
premature for some months, until and unless the common stock of this Registrant
may be quoted on the OTCBB.
This Registrant is not ready to search for or to consider any specific
acquisition target. It does not expect to be able to begin consideration of any
acquisitions for four to six months. It cannot expect to identify or commit
itself to any acquisition within the next twelve months, or perhaps longer for
the following reasons. It is not the policy or practice of the Registrant, its
Management or Principal Shareholder to advertise, or travel in search of
8
<PAGE>
possible targets. This Registrant does not command the capital or liquidity with
which to conduct such a search, and does not expect to be able to engage in any
capital formation or loan funding activities for that purpose. While incidental
advances by the Principal Shareholder for corporate maintenance, filing fees,
legal and professional, and auditing are foreseeable, the Principal Shareholder
has no intention of general funding or funding search, advertising or other
promotion of this Registrant. Accordingly, the future prospects of this
Registrant is likely to await such serendipitous referral or introduction as may
lead to conversations with potential target businesses. The search for a
profitable business combination, accordingly, must be understood as an
essentially passive one, relying mostly on word of mouth. It is possible that
business brokers or promoters may at some point approach management with a
proposal. No estimate can be made when and if such a passive search might yield
an acquisition target.
When and if a probable acquisition target may be identified, or may
identify itself, Management will conduct extensive due diligence and evaluation
of the target, based upon the financial statements of an acquisition target, its
forseeable requirements for capital, and realistic potential of the target to
attract the capital it may require, and management's evaluation of its ability
to achieve its plan for profitability. No acquisition would be made if
Management were not satisfied that its plan for profitability and viability were
sound and in the interests of shareholders. The Registrant will continue its
evaluation of opportunities until an attractive business combination is
accomplished, no matter how long it may take.
CASH REQUIREMENTS AND OF NEED FOR ADDITIONAL FUNDS, TWELVE MONTHS. This
Registrant has no immediate need for current capital formation in its present
stage from outside sources. This means that the Registrant expects to maintain
its corporate and other filings and reports during the next twelve months.
Reference is made to Note 2, Going Concern, of the Registrant's Audited
Financial Statements: "The Registrant is dependant upon raising capital to
continue operations. The financial statements do not include any adjustments
that might arise from the outcome of this uncertainty. It is management's plan
to raise additional funds to begin its operations." The Registrant would be
dependent on the acquisition of assets and businesses to commence business
operations. The Registrant is not dependant on additional funds to conduct its
investigation and selection of a profitable business combination. Management
cannot plan such capital formation as may be appropriate for an acquired
business before selection of and combination with such a business. It is to be
expected that following the firm agreement to combine, some capital raising
program would be necessary, but any such program would be offered to investors
based upon the assets and businesses to be acquired, and not on this Registrant
in its present condition, without businesses, revenues, or income producing
assets.
Reference is made to Note 3, Development Stage Company, of the Registrant's
Audited Financial Statements: "The Registrant is a development stage company, as
defined in Financial Accounting Standards Board Statement 7. It is concentrating
substantially all of its efforts in raising capital and developing its business
operations in order to generate significant revenues." After some unsuccessful
efforts to launch operations, the original business plan was abandoned, on or
about May 15, 1999. The Registrant has no present business or business plan
other than to seek a profitable business combination, most likely in a reverse
acquisition or similar transaction. Accordingly, its plan is to seek one or more
profitable business combinations or acquisitions to secure profitability for
shareholders. The Registrant is not presently concentrating on selecting a
business combination candidate. No current fund raising programs are being
conducted or contemplated before merger, acquisition or combination is
announced, and then any such capital formation would be offered to investors
based upon the assets and businesses to be acquired, and not on this Registrant
in its present condition, without businesses, revenues, or income producing
assets.
In the event, consistent with the expectation of management, that no
combination is made within the next twelve to eighteen months, this Registrant
may be forced to effect some advances from its Principal Shareholder, for costs
involved in maintenance of corporate franchise and filing reports as may be
9
<PAGE>
required, when and if this 1934 Act registration is clear of comments by the SEC
Staff. Should this become necessary, the maximum amount of such advances is
estimated not to exceed $20,000.00. No agreement by the Principal shareholder to
make such advances is in place, and no guarantee can presently be given that
additional funds, if needed, will be available. It is by far more likely that
advances will take the form of providing services on a deferred compensation
basis. Should further auditing be required, such services by the Independent
Auditor may not be the subject of deferred compensation.
As reflected in the Financial Statements of this Registrant, provided with
this Registration Statement, it has not been necessary for any shareholder to
advance operational funds to this Registrant.
(I) SUMMARY OF PRODUCT RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT. None.
(II) EXPECTED PURCHASE OR SALE OF PLANT AND SIGNIFICANT EQUIPMENT.
None.
(III) EXPECTED SIGNIFICANT CHANGE IN THE NUMBER OF EMPLOYEES. None.
(B) DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION.
(I) OPERATIONS AND RESULTS FOR THE PAST TWO FISCAL YEARS. This
Corporation has had no revenues since its inception in December of 1997. Its
attempt to commence operations failed and was abandoned on May 15, 1999. Its
expenses of $156,559, for the five months ended May 31, 1998, $191,679 for the
twelve months ended December 31, 1998, are not considered indicative of
maintenance expenses for the next six to twelve months, but reflected attempts
to secure rights and assets for its former and abandoned business plan, and
unusual legal expenses in connection with due diligence investigation and
disclosure in connection with submission to the NASD for quotation on the
Bulletin Board, the OTCBB, in the context of the NASD rule changes. As an
incidental result of the NASD Rule changes this Registrant's common stock is
allowed to be quoted over the counter in the "Pink Sheets", but will not be
qualified for the OTCBB until this 1934 Registration has been cleared of
comments by the SEC Staff. Our expenses for 1999 were $27,825, consisting
substantially of general and administrative expenses, which included legal and
professional expenses, mainly for the preparation of this 1934 Act Registration.
During 1999, we changed our method of amortization of organizational costs in
accordance with current accounting principles and expensed the remaining
balance, with the effect of a $12,000 charge. During 1999, $10,000 was paid to
our principal consultant as fees for services on a time/hour/fee basis. During
1999, we received shareholder loans of $13,000 of which $3,000 was repaid in
1999. During 1999 we advanced $10,000 to a shareholder. This advance was a
receivable as of the end of 1999.
It is noted that the total expenses for the tree months ended March
31, 1999, and the six months ended June 30, 1999, are the same figure, $7,325;
and for the nine months ended September 30, 1999 are $27,325; and it is further
noted, that figure includes the amortization of organizational expenses of
$16,000. Management estimates that the expenses needed to carry the Registrant
through an ultimate reorganization, over and above current cash, to be not more
than $20,000.00, which funding, if needed, would be used to defer legal and
auditing and accounting, and incidental filings with the Commission, and with
any States in which the parties are domiciled.
This Registrant retained a firm named Capital Relations and Management
to assist in initial submission to the OTCBB, paying a fixed fee of $2,500 for
that service. Capital Relations and Management is not an affiliate of the
Registrant or of its Principal Shareholder. Capital Relations submitted the
Registrant's disclosure documents to National Capital, LLC, which market maker
duly submitted for permission to quote to the NASD. Before clearing comments,
the NASD effected its rule changes, with the result that the Registrant's common
10
<PAGE>
stock was cleared for the Pink Sheets, but cannot be cleared for the OTCBB until
its 1934 Act Registration shall have, and cleared comments by the SEC Staff. The
Registrant has not, and this Registrant will not, take other affirmative steps
to encourage or request any broker-dealer to act as a market maker for the its
securities.
(II) FUTURE PROSPECTS. This Registrant cannot predict when, if ever,
it will participate in a business opportunity in view of its limited resources,
and competitive disadvantages with respect to other public or semi-public
Registrants. Such a forward looking statement must be recognized as such.
Unexpected events, changes in market conditions, loss of experienced management
personnel, and the like, certainly require that management's expectations be
evaluated in the light of the basis for such forward looking statements. There
are no guaranties of success at any stage. Nor, can this Registrant predict when
or whether its 1943 Act Registration will be cleared of comments by the Staff of
the SEC.
(C) REVERSE ACQUISITION CANDIDATE. The Registrant is searching for a
profitable business opportunity. The acquisition of such an opportunity could
and likely would result in some change in control of the Registrant at such
time. This would likely take the form of a reverse acquisition. That means that
this Registrant would likely acquire businesses and assets for stock in an
amount that would effectively transfer control of this Registrant to the
acquisition target company or ownership group. It is called a
reverse-acquisition because it would be an acquisition by this Registrant in
form, but would be an acquisition of this Registrant in substance. Capital
formation issues for the future of this Registrant would arise only when
targeted business or assets have been identified. Until such time, this
Registrant has no basis upon which to propose any substantial infusion of
capital. While no such arrangements or plans have been adopted or are presently
under consideration, it would be expected that a reverse acquisition of a target
company or business would be associated with some private placements and/or
limited offerings of common stock of this Registrant for cash. Such placements,
or offerings, if and when made or extended, would be made with disclosure and
reliance on the businesses and assets to be acquired, and not upon the present
condition of this Registrant.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
ITEM 3. DESCRIPTION OF PROPERTY.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Registrant has no property and enjoys the non-exclusive use of offices
and telephone of its officers and attorneys, without charge or written
agreement. The Registrant pays for outside copying and Federal Express, U.P.S
and other messenger services. The Registrant does not pay for routine telephone,
in-house copying or United States Mail. The Registrant's address for mail and
deliveries is 24843 Del Prado, Dana Point CA, 92629. The affairs of the
Registrant are conducted a 34700 Pacific Coast Highway, Suite 303, Capistrano
Beach CA 92624. This latter suite is the Office of Intrepid International Ltd.,
the United States Office of the Principal Shareholder.
This Registrant has adopted no policies with respect to real estate
investment. While it has no intention of investing in real estate, it is not
prevented from doing so by any corporate policy or action. Management disclaims
any special knowledge or skill with respect to real estate investment, and
cannot presently foresee any circumstances which would make such an investment
attractive to this Registrant.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
ITEM 4. SECURITY OWNERSHIP OF CERTAIN BENEFICIAL OWNERS AND MANAGEMENT.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
(A) SECURITY OWNERSHIP OF CERTAIN BENEFICIAL OWNERS. To the best of
Registrant's knowledge and belief the following disclosure presents the total
security ownership of all persons, entities and groups, known to or discoverable
by Registrant, to be the beneficial owner or owners of more than five percent of
any voting class of Registrant's stock. More than one person, entity or group
could be beneficially interested in the same securities, so that the total of
all percentages may accordingly exceed one hundred percent of some or any
11
<PAGE>
classes. Please refer to explanatory notes if any, for clarification or
additional information. The Registrant has only one class of stock; namely
Common Stock.
(B) SECURITY OWNERSHIP OF MANAGEMENT. To the best of Registrant's knowledge
and belief the following disclosure presents the total beneficial security
ownership of all Directors and Nominees, naming them, and by all Officers and
Directors as a group, without naming them, of Registrant, known to or
discoverable by Registrant. More than one person, entity or group could be
beneficially interested in the same securities, so that the total of all
percentages may accordingly exceed one hundred percent of some or any classes.
Please refer to explanatory notes if any, for clarification or additional
information.

(1) The Officers and Directors of this Registrant are affiliates of the
Principal Shareholder. For this reason the attribution of all shares to each is
shown in the table. Please see Item 5 of this Part, Directors, Executive
Officers, Promoters and Control Persons for further information. The shares
listed as issued to them are were in fact issued to them, as individuals, and
are beneficially owned by them as indicated.
12
<PAGE>
(2) The Ownership of the 15,000,000 is held by Intrepid International as a
corporate asset and is not the personal asset of any of its Officers, Directors
or shareholders. These Officers, Directors and Shareholders of the Panamanian
Principal shareholders are the same three persons. Their names and percentage of
ownership are Laurencio Jaen O. (50%), Teodoro F. Franco L. (50%), Leopoldo
Kennion G. (0%). Please see Item 7 of this Part, Certain Relationships and
Related Transactions for further information.
(1) (2) Each of the shareholders shown in the foregoing table have sole
voting power with respect to their actual legal ownership, Mr. James, Mr.
Sifford, and the Panama Corporation. There are no legal or contractual
arrangements which require these affiliates to act in concert with respect to
their share ownership. However, legal obligations aside, it is reasonable to
expect the Officers of the Registrant and the Principal shareholder to cooperate
and to act in their common interest until a change of control shall have
occurred. Should a change of control result in the present affiliates ceasing to
be affiliates for a period of ninety days or more, each of the individual
Directors and the Panama Corporation would be at liberty to direct their own
management of their respective share ownerships.
(C) CHANGES IN CONTROL. There are no arrangements, including any pledge by any
persons, of securities of Registrant, which may at a subsequent date result in a
change of control of Registrant. In as much as the Registrant is searching for a
profitable business opportunity, it is to be expected that a change of control
would be contemplated when such a target is identified.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
ITEM 5. DIRECTORS, EXECUTIVE OFFICERS, PROMOTERS AND CONTROL PERSONS.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The following persons are the Directors of Registrant, having taken office
from the inception of the Registrant, to serve until their successors might be
elected or appointed. The time of the next meeting of shareholders has not been
determined and is not likely to take place before a targeted acquisition or
combination is determined.
J. Dan Sifford, Jr., has been President of the Registrant since its
inception, grew up in Coral Gables, Florida, where he attended Coral Gables High
School and the University of Miami. After leaving the University of Miami, Mr.
Sifford formed a wholesale consumer goods distribution company which operated
throughout the southeastern United States and all of Latin America. In 1965, as
an extension of the operations of the original company, he founded Indiasa
Corporation (Indiasa), a Panamanian company which was involved in supply and
financing arrangements with many of the Latin American Governments, in
particular, their air forces and their national airlines. As customer
requirements dictated, separate subsidiaries were established to handle specific
activities. During each of the past five years he has served as President of
Indiasa, which serves only as a holding company owning: 100% of Indiasa Aviation
Corp. (a company which owns aircraft but has no operations); 100% of Overseas
Aviation Corporation (a company which owns Air Carrier Certificates but has no
operations); 50% of Robmar International, S.A. (a company operates a
manufacturing plant in Argentina and Brazil, but in which Mr. Sifford holds no
office). In addition to his general aviation experience, Mr. Sifford, an Airline
Transport rated pilot, has twenty two years experience in the airline business,
and is currently the President of Airline of the Virgin Islands, Ltd. a commuter
passenger airline operating in the Caribbean, and has been its president
continuously during each of the past five years.
Mr. Sifford is not and has never been a broker-dealer. He has acted
primarily as consultant, and in some cases has served as an interim officer and
director of public companies in their development stage. The following
disclosure identifies those public companies: Air Epicurean, Inc., All American
Aircraft, Earth Industries, Ecklan Corporation, EditWorks, Ltd., Market
Formulation & Research, Inc., NetAir.com, Inc., NSJ Mortgage Capital
Corporation, Inc., North American Security & Fire, Oasis 4th Movie Project,
Professional Recovery Systems, Inc., Richmond Services, Inc., Telecommunications
Technologies, Ltd., and World Staffing II, Inc.
13
<PAGE>
Of these last mentioned companies, he is currently serving in this
Registrant, in Ecklan Corporation, in Oasis 4th Movie Project, in Richmond
Services, Inc, and in NetAir.com, Inc.
Kirt W. James, the Registrant's Secretary-Treasurer, has a lifelong
background in marketing and sales. From 1972 to 1987, Mr. James was responsible
for sales and business administrative matters for Glade N. James Sales Co., Inc.
and from 1987 to 1990 Mr. James built retail markets for American International
Medical Supply Co., a publicly traded company. In 1990 he formed and became
President of HJS Financial Services, Inc., and was responsible for the day to
day business operations of the firm as well as consultation with Clients
concerning their business and Product Development. He remains the President and
Sole Shareholder of HJS, which is presently substantially in active. During the
past five years Mr. James has been involved in the valuation of private
companies for internal purposes, and as a consultant to private companies
engaged in the private sale and acquisition of other private businesses. He has
also assisted private and public companies in planning for entry into the public
market place. Mr. James is not and has never been a broker-dealer. He has acted
primarily as consultant, and in some cases has served as an interim officer and
director of public companies in their development stage. The following
disclosure identifies those public companies with which he has been involved
during the past five years: Earth Industries, Inc., EditWorks, Ltd., Market
Formulation & Research, Inc., Mex Trans Seafood Consulting, Inc., and North
American Security & Fire. He is also an Officer and Director of Oasis 4th Movie
Project, an operating non-trading company.
There are no persons who are officers or directors, other than the
foregoing, whose activities have been or are material to the operations of this
Registrant. The present Officers and Directors spend an insubstantial amount of
time on the activities of this Registrant. There are no arrangements, agreements
or understandings between non-management shareholders and management, under
which non-management shareholders or other persons may directly or indirectly
participate in or influence the management of the affairs of this Registrant.
There are no agreements or understandings for any officer or director to resign
at the request of another person.
The Officers and Directors of this Registrant are the Officers and
Directors of Intrepid International Ltd. of Nevada, the United States Subsidiary
of Intrepid International S.A. of Panama, the Principal Shareholder. The
principal business of the United States Subsidiary is the performance of
Corporate Services on a time-fee basis. It is foreseeable, but not presently
intended, nor is it the normal practice, that these Officers and Directors may
serve as interim management of other companies in their development stage.
Intrepid does participate from time to time in the organization of companies
intending to make offerings of unregistered securities, in connection with
actual businesses ventures.
No present or previous promoter, officer, director or person engaged in
management-type activity of this corporation has been involved in any blank
check offerings. A blank check offering is an offering of securities by a
company which, at the time of the offering, has no business or business plan
other than to seek a business by merger or acquisition or other profitable
combination. Intrepid's United States Officers, who serve as our officers, have
served as officers of companies which with initial businesses or business plans
which have failed and which have eventually been abandoned, and which, following
such failure and abandonment, became, for some period of time, companies with no
operating business or productive assets, and no business plan other than a plan
to seek to acquire profitable assets or businesses. The following companies fall
within that category of description: Earth Industries, Inc., Richmond Services,
Inc., Market Formulation & Research, Inc., Mex Trans Seafood Consulting, Inc.,
NSJ Mortgage Capital Corporation, Inc., Telecommunications Technologies, Ltd.
There are no other present or previous promoter, officer, director or person
engaged in management-type activity of this corporation involved in any in any
company or corporation within that category of description.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
ITEM 6. EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Each of the two Officer/Directors have been issued 2,500,000 new investment
shares of common stock, each for present service and incentive purposes, in
connection with, and as a part of the initial issuance of 20,000,000 shares to
founders for organizational costs, and valued at $20,000.00 (par value). As
indicated in Items 4 and 5 immediately preceding, the names of those officers
and directors receiving these shares are Kirt W. James, and J. Dan Sifford, Jr.
No other compensation, or plan of compensation, has been made, authorized or
contemplated at the present time and for the present period of corporate
inactivity and ill-liquidity. There is no market for the shares of this
Registrant. It is not possible to derive a "fair market value" for this share
ownership based upon any market. The Management shares were issued in 1997 at
par value. The actual value of this ownership would ripen if, and only if, this
Registrant could achieve profitability by acquisition of assets or businesses.
It was not the intention of this Registrant for its shares to trade on the Pink
Sheets. During the period of comments for the OTC Bulletin board, the rules
having changed, the common stock of this Registrant was cleared for the Pink
Sheets by default. This Registrant believes that no actual quotations of bid or
ask are current. It is, however useful to the Registrant to remain qualified for
the Pink Sheets, in as much as the procedure for moving from the Pink Sheets to
the OTCBB is less taxing than an original submission. Accordingly, the shares of
common stock of this Registrant owned by officers and directors is deemed to
have no present public trading, nor have ever had any public trading value.
Inasmuch as the 20,000,000 shares were issued in October 1997 for organizational
services valued at $20,000.00, the value attributed to the shares provided to
the Officers therefore would be $2,500.00 each.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
ITEM 7. CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Intrepid International, S. A. ("Intrepid-Panama") is the principal
shareholder of this Registrant. The Officers and Directors of this Registrant
are affiliates of Intrepid-Panama. The principal shareholder was incorporated in
the Republic of Panam in 1984 to offer financial services to natural resource
companies, primarily those engaged in the production of oil and gas. Following
the world wide collapse of oil prices in the mid-eighties, Intrepid-Panama
broadened the focus of its universe of support services to include a wider range
of companies, with an emphasis on public companies and private companies,
companies engaged in the transition from privately held to publicly held, and
development stage companies, whether public or private, requiring professional
business and corporate guidance. In August of 1997 Intrepid-Panama sought a
United States Representative and entered into a relationship with a group of
corporate and business specialists who, after contracting with Intrepid-Panama,
incorporated as Intrepid International, Ltd. ("Intrepid US") to provide the
required representation and agency for Intrepid-Panama in North America and
Europe. Intrepid US is incorporated in the State of Nevada. Intrepid
International (US and/or Panama) is not an investment banker, nor a broker or
dealer in securities. Intrepid is a provider of technical support services to
client companies, generally, and an occasional investor for its own account.
The following persons are not Officers or Directors of this Registrant.
They are the owners, Officers and Directors of the Principal Shareholder. The
following persons do not engage in direct control of the affairs of the
Registrant, and their activities are not material to the operations of this
Registrant. While the following three persons, acting as a Board of Directors of
the Panama Corporation could exercise direct control, as majority shareholder,
they have delegated United States operations to the Officers and Directors of
this Registrant, and to the United States subsidiary of which they two
constitute the Management.
Laurencio Jaen O., an original incorporator who has served as President and
Director of Intrepid-Panama since its inception in 1984, resides in Panama

VIASA (the Venezuelan national airline), Aeroflot (the Russian national airline)
and various smaller Latin American national airlines as well as being the
registered agents for thousands of ocean going ships around the world flying the
Panamanian flag. Mr. Franco brings to Intrepid-Panama a wealth of international

biographical information is found under Item 5 of this Part, Directors,
Executive Officers, Promoters and Control Persons.
The officers and directors of Intrepid International, Ltd. (Nevada)
(Intrepid US) are two individuals; Kirt W. James, and J. Dan Sifford, Jr., which
two individuals are the officers and directors of this Registrant. Their
biographical information is found under Item 5 of this Part, Directors,
Executive Officers, Promoters and Control Persons. These two persons are only
persons in direct, day to day control of the affairs of this Registrant. The
Officers, Owners and Directors of the Panama parent do not direct or participate
in the management of this Registrant.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
ITEM 8. DESCRIPTION OF SECURITIES.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
THE REGISTRANT'S CAPITAL AUTHORIZED AND ISSUED. The Registrant is authorized to
issue 100,000,000 shares of a single class of Common Voting Stock, of par value
$0.001, of which 27,656,000 are issued and outstanding.
COMMON STOCK. All shares of Common Stock when issued were fully paid for and
nonassessable. Each holder of Common Stock is entitled to one vote per share on
all matters submitted for action by the stockholders. All shares of Common Stock
are equal to each other with respect to the election of directors and cumulative
voting is not permitted; therefore, the holders of more than 50% of the
outstanding Common Stock can, if they choose to do so, elect all of the
directors. The terms of the directors are not staggered. Directors are elected
annually to serve until the next annual meeting of shareholders and until their
successor is elected and qualified. There are no preemptive rights to purchase
any additional Common Stock or other securities of the Registrant. The owners of
a majority of the common stock may also take any action without prior notice or
meeting which a majority of shareholders could have taken at a regularly called
shareholders meeting, giving notice to all shareholders thereafter of the action
16
<PAGE>
taken. In the event of liquidation or dissolution, holders of Common Stock are
entitled to receive, pro rata, the assets remaining, after creditors, and
holders of any class of stock having liquidation rights senior to holders of
shares of Common Stock, have been paid in full. All shares of Common Stock enjoy
equal dividend rights. There are no provisions in the Articles of Incorporation
or By-Laws which would delay, defer or prevent a change of control.

PART II
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
18
<PAGE>
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
ITEM 1.
MARKET PRICE OF AND DIVIDENDS ON
REGISTRANT'S COMMON EQUITY AND SHAREHOLDER MATTERS.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
(A) MARKET INFORMATION. The Common Stock of this Registrant is cleared for
quotation Over the Counter in the Pink Sheets, only recently. To the best of the
Registrant's knowledge and belief, there has been no market activity, buying or
selling, of the common stock of this Registrant, in brokerage transactions.
(B) HOLDERS. There are presently 53 shareholders of the common stock of this
Registrant.
(C) DIVIDENDS. No cash dividends have been paid by the Registrant on its
Common Stock or other Stock and no such payment is anticipated in the
foreseeable future.
(D) REVERSE ACQUISITIONS. A reverse acquisition of a target business or
company would be expected to involve a change of control of the Registrant, and
the designation of new management. The financial statements of this Registrant
would become largely unreflective of the true condition of the Registrant after
such an acquisition. Shareholder approval would be solicited, pursuant to the
laws of the State of Nevada, to approve the acquisition, change of control, and
any material corporate changes incidental to the reorganization of this
Registrant. In connection with the solicitation of shareholder approval, whether
or not proxies are solicited, the Registrant would provide shareholders with the
fullest possible disclosure of all information material to shareholder
consideration, and such disclosure would include audited financial statements of
the target entity, if available. If shareholder approval is sought in advance of
audited financial statements of an acquisition target, the authority of
management to consummate any transaction would be contingent on a proper audit
of the target meeting the criteria of any un-audited information relied upon by
shareholders.
SECONDARY TRADING. Our company has no present business and its plan is to seek
and acquire productive assets. Officers, Directors, Promoters (of such
companies), and their transferees, are subject to special considerations in
connections with secondary trading, which differ from the normal Rules of Rule
144. Accordingly, neither before or after any acquisition, would Rule 144 be
available for reliance by such affiliates or persons deemed promoters, for
resale of their existing securities in brokerage transactions. Secondary trading
refers generally to the marketability to resell the securities of this
Registrant in brokerage transactions, and that marketability is generally
governed by Rule 144, promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission
pursuant to Section 3 of the Securities Act of 1933. Securities which have not
been registered pursuant to the Securities Act of 1933, but were exempt from
such registration when issued, are generally "Restricted Securities" as defined
by Rule 144(a). The impact of the restrictions of Rule 144 are (a) a basic one
year holding period from purchase; and (b) a limitation of the amount any
shareholder may sell during the second year, as to non-affiliates of the
Registrant; however, as to shares owned by affiliates of the Registrant, the
second-year limitation of amounts attaches and continues indefinitely, at least
until such person has ceased to be an affiliate for 90 days or more. The
limitation of amounts is generally 1% of the total issued and outstanding in any
90 day period.
UNRESTRICTED SHARES OF COMMON STOCK. 27,656,000 shares are issued and
outstanding. 20,000,000 shares are held by affiliates of the Registrant.
19
<PAGE>
7,656,000 shares are owned by non-affiliates of the Registrant and are believed
to be unrestricted securities which could be sold in brokerage transaction
without restriction of Rule 144. These 7,656,000 shares were issued pursuant to
Rule 504 on or before April 6, 1999, and were not, when issued Restricted
Securities, as defined by Rule 144(a). The 27,656,000 affiliate shares were
issued at the end of December, 1998, pursuant to Section 4(2) of the 1933 Act,
and are more than one year, and almost two years old. Rule 144 would normally
permit affiliate sales in limited amounts; however, Our company has no present
business and its plan is to seek and acquire productive assets. Officers,
Directors, Promoters (of such companies), and their transferees, are subject to
special considerations in connections with secondary trading, which differ from
the normal Rules of Rule 144.
A blank check offering is an offering of securities by a company which, at
the time of the offering, has no business or business plan other than to seek a
business by merger or acquisition or other profitable combination. No promoter,
officer, director or person engaged in management-type activity of this
corporation has been involved in any blank check offerings. Our business plan
has failed, however, such that now we have no present business and our plan is
to seek and acquire productive assets. We have indicated that we may acquire or
create a new business combination by acquisition for common stock.
Any new shares issued by us for any acquisition would be new investment
shares and restricted securities as defined by Rule 144(a) and with reference to
Rule 145. This means that shares issued to the shareholders of an acquired
company for any such acquisition would not be entitled to rely on Rule
144(e)(1), 144(e)(2) or 144(k) for resale no matter how long they may have held
their stock, but that these acquisition shares, as new restricted securities,
might not be resold in brokerage transactions unless such resales were
registered pursuant to the Securities Act of 1933, or unless, at the time of any
such proposed resale, an exemption from such registration for resale were
available.
An underwriter of securities is one who acquires securities with a view to
distribution of them to others. None of our affiliates, nor any person now
deemed to be a promoter, acquired any of our existing securities for such a
purpose. Nor have any earlier persons who were at any time officers, directors,
affiliates, promoters, or their transferees acquired any of our securities for
any such purpose. However, it is expected that such persons would be deemed to
be promoters of any new venture resulting from our acquisition of any target
company.
Any existing shares of our common stock of our Officers, Directors,
Affiliates and Promoters (if any) are not presently entitled to rely on Rule 144
for resale in brokerage transactions. Upon the effective consummation of any
acquisition of business or productive assets, such existing shares (and any
other shares acquired by such persons in connection with the transaction, or
their transferees), would be treated as if their shares had been cancelled and
reissued as new investment shares of the new business combination, by analogy to
Rule 145. This means that such persons would not be entitled to rely on Rule
144(e)(1), 144(e)(2) or 144(k) for resale no matter how long they may have held
20
<PAGE>
their stock, but that these affiliate-related shares, as new restricted
securities, might not be resold in brokerage transactions unless such resales
were registered pursuant to the Securities Act of 1933, or unless, at the time
of any such proposed resale, an exemption from such registration for resale were
available.
OPTIONS AND DERIVATIVE SECURITIES. There are no outstanding options or
derivative securities of this Registrant. There are no shares issued or reserved
which are subject to options or warrants to purchase, or securities convertible
into common stock of this Registrant.
RISKS OF "PENNY STOCK." The Registrant's common stock may be deemed to be "penny
stock" as that term is defined in Reg.Section 240.3a51-1 of the Securities and
Exchange Commission. Penny stock share stocks (i) with a price of less than five
dollars per share; (ii) that are not traded on a "recognized" national exchange;
(iii) whose prices are not quoted on the NASDAQ automated quotation system
(NASDAQ) listed stocks must still meet requirement (i) above); or (iv) in
issuers with net tangible assets less than $2,000,000 (if the issuer has been in
continuous operation for at least three years) or $5,000,000 (if in continuous
operation for less than three years), or with average revenues of less than
$6,000,000 for the last three years.
Section 15(g) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and Reg.
Section 240.15g-2 of the Securities and Exchange Commission require broker
dealers dealing in penny stocks to provide potential investors with a document
disclosing the risks of penny stocks and to obtain a manually signed and dated
written receipt of the document before effecting any transaction in a penny
stock for the investor's account. Potential investors in the Registrant's common
stock are urged to obtain and read such disclosure carefully before purchasing
any shares that are deemed to be "penny stock."
Moreover, Reg. Section 240.15g-9 of the Securities and Exchange Commission
requires broker dealers in penny stocks to approve the account of any investor
for transactions in such stocks before selling any penny stock to that investor.
This procedure requires the broker dealer to (i) obtain from the investor
information concerning his or her financial situation, investment experience and
investment objectives; (ii) reasonably determine, based on that information,
that transactions in penny stocks are suitable for the investor and that the
investor has sufficient knowledge and experience as to be reasonably capable of
evaluating the risks of penny stock transactions; (iii) provide the investor
with a written statement setting forth the basis on which the broker -dealer
made the determination in (ii) above; and (iv) receive a signed and dated copy
of such statement from the investor, confirming that it accurately reflects the
investor's financial situation, investment experience and investment objectives.
Compliance with these requirements may make it more difficult for investors in
the Registrant's common stock to resell their shares to third parties or to
otherwise dispose of them.
RISKS OF STATE BLUE SKY LAWS. In addition to other risks, restrictions and
limitations which may affect the resale of the existing shares of the common
stock of this Registrant, consideration must be given to the Blue Sky laws and
regulations of each State or jurisdiction in which a shareholder wishing to
re-sell may reside. Some States may distinguish between companies with active
businesses and companies whose only business is to seek to secure business
opportunities, and may restrict or limit resales of otherwise free-trading and
unrestricted securities of companies, like this Registrant, whose business is to
seek an uncertain profitable business combination at some future time. This
Registrant has taken no action to register or qualify its common stock for
resale pursuant to the Blue Sky laws or regulations of any State or
jurisdiction. Accordingly offers to buy or sell the existing securities of this
Registrant may be unlawful in certain States and may be subject to civil or
criminal penalties.

The following disclosure presents: (a) The date, title and amount of securities
sold. (b) There were no Underwriters or Underwriting, and no discounts or
commissions. (c) For securities sold for cash, the total offering price and the

Commission under which the Registrant claimed exemption from registration and
the facts relied upon to make the exemption available are provided, and (e) No
securities sold are convertible or exchangeable into equity securities, nor are

At or near inception, the founders' 20,000,000 shares of common stock were
issued at par value, for organizational costs, to the Principal Shareholder and
the Officers and Directors of this Registrant. These were new investment shares
issued pursuant to Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933. These 20,000,000
shares were issued as shown in Item 4, of Part I. Each of the two
Officer/Directors were issued 2,500,000 new investment shares of common stock,
each for present service and incentive purposes, in connection with, and as a
part of the initial issuance of 20,000,000 shares to founders for organizational
costs, and valued at $20,000.00 (par value). As indicated in Items 4 and 5 of
Part I, the names of those officers and directors receiving these shares are
Kirt W. James, and J. Dan Sifford, Jr.
On January 2, 1998, the Registrant offered 6,400,000 shares of common
stock, and 6,400,000 warrants, in the form of 200 Units of 32,000 shares and
32,000 warrants each, for $1,000.00 per Unit, pursuant to Regulation D, Rule
504, as then in force. These shares and warrants were placed among sophisticated
investors with pre-existing relationships with the Registrant or management.
Accordingly the Unit price of $1,000.00 equates to $0.03125 per share/warrant.
The 32,000 warrants were made exercisable at any time with eighteen months from
issuance at an exercise price of $0.125. The offering closed formally about
March 31, 1998, the maximum 200 Units having been placed for $200,000.00 cash.
The placement was made to and among 19 accredited investors.No warrants have
been exercised to date, and all warrants have expired unexercised.
On or about January 5, 1999, the Registrant placed 6,000 shares of common
stock, pursuant to Rule 504, to a single sophisticated investor, Vegas
Publications, Inc., with a pre-existing relationship with management, for
$600.00, or $0.10 per share.
On April 6, 1999, the Registrant placed 1,250,000 shares of common stock,
pursuant to Rule 504, to a single sophisticated investor, Marshall Worldwide
Limited, PO Box 2047-100, San Jose, Costa Rica, for $12,500.00, paid for in cash
at $0.01 per share.

ITEM 5. INDEMNIFICATION OF OFFICERS AND DIRECTORS.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
There is no provision in the Articles of Incorporation, now the By-Laws of
the Corporation, nor any Resolution of the Board of Directors, providing for
indemnification of Officers or Directors. The Registrant is aware of certain
provision of the Nevada Corporate Law which affects indemnity of Officers or
Directors.
NRS 78.7502 provides for mandatory indemnification of officers, directors,
employees and agents, substantially as follows: the corporation shall indemnify
a director, officer, employee or agent of a corporation; to the extent that he
or she has been successful on the merits or otherwise in defense of any action,
suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative
(except an action by or in the right of the corporation) by reason of the fact
that he or she is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the
corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a
director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint
venture, trust or other enterprise; if he or she acted in good faith and in a
manner which he or she reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best
interests of the corporation; and, with respect to any criminal action or
proceeding, in which he or she had no reasonable cause to believe his or her
conduct was unlawful.
