SUMMARY
INTRACO SYSTEMS, INC.
Intraco is an information technology, data and voice service provider.
Intraco currently offers several suites of comprehensive commercial services
that will enable customers to eliminate or replace all on-site telephone, data
systems and server applications. Its primary customers currently are small and
midsized businesses such as website/e-commerce companies, although Intraco is
also targeting larger businesses such as those in the telecommunications
industry. Management believes that Intraco's services can be used to
voice-enable a wide range of applications such as websites, e-commerce,
auctioning, paging and e-mail.
INTRACO'S HISTORY
Intraco was incorporated in Florida in March 1990. In April 1999, it
completed a share exchange with Custom Touch Electronics, Inc., a Nevada
corporation. Following the exchange, Custom Touch changed its name to Intraco
Systems, Inc. Our executive offices are located at 3998 FAU Boulevard, Suite
210, Boca Raton, Florida 33431, telephone number (561) 367-0600.

RISKS OF INVESTING IN INTRACO SHARES
WE RECENTLY SHIFTED OUR BUSINESS FOCUS AWAY FROM NETWORK INSTALLATIONS TO
PROVIDING INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY AND VOICE SERVICES, INCLUDING SPEECH
RECOGNITION PRODUCTS AND SERVICES. OUR REVISED BUSINESS PLAN IS STILL UNDER
DEVELOPMENT.
With the hiring of Walt Nawrocki in 1999 as our chief executive officer,
we have shifted our business focus towards providing speech recognition products
and services. As a result of this shift in focus, our business plan is still in
development. There can be no assurance that our new business plan will be
successful. Although we are in discussions with several prospective clients, we
have not yet sold any of our newly developed speech recognition products and
services and demand for these products and services is uncertain. Additionally,
our previous financial history is not a good indication of how the business is
doing or how it is evolving.
WE HAVE EXPERIENCED SIGNIFICANT LOSSES AND THESE LOSSES ARE EXPECTED TO
CONTINUE IN THE FUTURE.
For the year ended December 31, 1999 and the nine months ended September
30, 2000, we reported net losses of $1,438,895 and $2,869,470, respectively. As
of December 31, 1999, we had an accumulated deficit of $2,084,303, and
stockholders' deficit of $237,635, although as a result of raising capital
through private offerings, we have positive stockholders' equity of $2,382,723
as of September 30, 2000. There can be no assurance that we will operate
profitably in the future and that we will not continue to sustain losses.
Continued losses could materially and adversely affect our business.
WE WILL NEED SUBSTANTIAL ADDITIONAL CAPITAL IN ORDER TO CONTINUE OUR
OPERATIONS.
We require substantial working capital to build our application service
provider systems, for marketing and promotion, and to fund our general business
operations. In addition, we anticipate that we will regularly need to make
capital expenditures to upgrade and modify our management information system,
including software and hardware, as we grow and the needs of our business
change. Without any outside funding, we currently anticipate that we will have
sufficient funds to meet our anticipated needs for working capital and capital
expenditures through the end of the year 2000. We are actively seeking
additional financing, which may be either debt or equity financing. After that,
we will need to raise additional funds. We cannot be certain that any additional
financing will be available to us when needed and if available, whether it will
be on favorable terms. In addition, if we raise additional funds through the
issuance of equity, equity-related or debt securities, the securities may have
rights, preferences or privileges senior to those of the rights of our current
shareholders and our shareholders may experience additional dilution.
OUR SERVICES ARE BASED ON SOFTWARE OBTAINED FROM THIRD PARTIES.
We obtain software products pursuant to agreements with Motorola and
Nuance. We intend to enter into additional agreements as may be necessary in the
future. Obtaining this software, as well as any additional software offerings,
is critical to our expansion strategy because we offer services based on the
integration of these software packages to clients. If one or more of our
existing relationships with our key software partners were to be terminated
3
<PAGE>
or not renewed, we could be faced with discontinuing products or services or
delaying or reducing introduction of services unless we could find, license and
offer equivalent software packages.
All of our third-party agreements are non-exclusive. Our competitors could
also license and offer software products that we offer as part of our
application service provider services. We cannot be sure that our current
vendors will continue to offer or support the software we currently license from
them in current form, nor can we be sure that we will be able to adapt our
systems to changes in such software.
WE DEPEND ON OUR CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFER AND PRESIDENT, WHO WERE
INSTRUMENTAL IN DEVELOPING OUR NEW BUSINESS PLAN.
Our success is dependent on the services of Walt Nawrocki, our chief
executive officer, and Jack Berger, our president, both of whom have significant
experience in information, data and voice services and who developed the change
in our business plan to begin offering these services. The loss of the services
of Mr. Nawrocki, Mr. Berger or other key personnel could have a material adverse
effect on our business. We have entered into employment agreements with certain
of our key personnel, including Mr. Nawrocki and Mr. Berger. We do not, however,
currently maintain key man life insurance policies for any of our officers or
other personnel.
WE DEPEND ON A SMALL NUMBER OF CUSTOMERS FOR A SIGNIFICANT PORTION OF OUR
REVENUES.
For the first nine months of 2000, approximately 17% of our total revenues
were derived from one customer, Leastec Systems, Inc., and 69% from our top 10
customers. If we were to lose any of our major customers, our operating results
and financial conditions could be adversely affected.
WE ARE LOCATED IN SOUTH FLORIDA AND MAY HAVE DIFFICULTY IN ATTRACTING AND
RETAINING QUALIFIED TECHNICAL PROFESSIONALS.
Our success depends, in large part, on our ability to attract, develop,
motivate and retain technical professionals. As of September 30, 2000,
approximately 35% of our employees were technical professionals. Qualified
technical professionals are in great demand and are likely to remain a limited
resource for the foreseeable future. Our location in South Florida can also make
the recruiting process more difficult, as there are a limited number of research
universities in the area and regions of the U.S. other than South Florida are
often seen as being more attractive to technical professionals.
WE DEPEND ON JOINT MARKETING AGREEMENTS FOR THE ADVERTISING AND PROMOTION
OF OUR PRODUCTS.
We currently have a joint marketing agreement with Motorola and intend to
enter into additional agreements in the future. We will use these agreements for
our advertising and promotional programs. While these programs have been
available to us in the past, there is no assurance that these programs will be
continued. Any discontinuance or significant reduction in the availability of
these programs could have a material adverse effect on our operations and
financial results.
4
<PAGE>
OUR SERVICES INVOLVE THE TRANSMISSION OF CLIENT-SENSITIVE INFORMATION OVER
VOICE AND DATA NETWORKS AND OVER THE INTERNET. BREACHES IN SECURITY IN OUR
SYSTEMS COULD LEAD TO SERVICE INTERRUPTIONS OR DELAYS AND LIABILITY TO US AS A
RESULT OF RELEASED CONFIDENTIAL CLIENT INFORMATION.
Our services rely on encryption and authentication technology licensed
from third parties to provide the security required to safely transmit
confidential information. Breaches of this security could have severe
consequences for our clients. While we have implemented a variety of
state-of-the-art network security systems to protect against unauthorized
access, computer viruses, other intentional acts and accidents, and disruptions
may nonetheless occur. Our clients may experience service interruptions or
delays as a result of accidental or intentional disruptions, which could
jeopardize the security of confidential client information. This could
potentially result in liability to us, loss of existing clients, or the loss of
reputation leading to difficulties in attracting new clients.
Although we plan to continuously upgrade our security systems, security
measures have been circumvented in the past and our security could be
circumvented in the future. In addition, the costs we must incur to prevent or
eliminate computer viruses or to alleviate other security threats are likely to
be significant.
OUR SERVICES INCLUDE INFORMATION, DATA AND VOICE SERVICES, SUCH AS E-MAIL
AND VOICE MAIL, THAT ARE OFTEN ESSENTIAL TO A BUSINESS. WE COULD BE SUBJECT TO
LIABILITY IF WE DO NOT PROVIDE OUR SERVICES TO OUR CLIENTS IN ACCORDANCE WITH
THE TERMS OF OUR ENGAGEMENTS.
Many of the engagements we have begun or plan to undertake involve
projects for information, data and voice services that are critical to the
operations of our clients' businesses and provide benefits to our clients that
may be difficult to quantify. If we fail or are unable to meet a client's
expectations in the performance of our services, our client's operations could
be adversely affected. This could give rise to claims against us or damage our
reputation, adversely affecting our business, operating results and financial
condition.
THE TIMING OF OUR REVENUES IS DIFFICULT TO FORECAST BECAUSE OUR SALES
CYCLE IS RELATIVELY LONG AND OUR SERVICES ARE IMPACTED BY BOTH THE FINANCIAL
CONDITION AND MANAGEMENT DECISIONS OF OUR CLIENTS, AS WELL AS BY GENERAL
ECONOMIC CONDITIONS.
Our quarterly operating results fluctuate because of the success of new
services, the number of active client projects, the requirements of client
projects, the termination of major client projects, the loss of major clients,
the timing of new client engagements, and the timing of personnel cost
increases. Our information, data and voice services are complex and often
require a significant amount of time to design for and sell to a new client.
Because a high percentage of our expenses are relatively fixed at the beginning
of any period and our general policy is to not adjust our staffing levels based
upon what we view as short-term circumstances, a variation in the timing of the
initiation or the completion of client assignments, particularly at or near the
end of any quarter, can cause significant variations in operating results from
quarter to quarter and could result in losses for any particular period. In
addition, many of our engagements are, and may be in the future, terminable by
our clients without penalty. A termination of a major project
5
<PAGE>
could require us to maintain under-utilized employees, resulting in a higher
than expected percentage of unassigned professionals, or to terminate the
employment of excess personnel.
OUR COMMON STOCK IS LISTED ON THE OTC BULLETIN BOARD AND IS NOT ACTIVELY
TRADED, WITH THE RESULT THAT THE TRADING PRICE CAN BE STRONGLY AFFECTED BY
VARIOUS FACTORS.
Few shares of our common stock trade on the OTC Bulletin Board on any
given day. Therefore, the trading price of our common stock has been, and in the
future is expected to be strongly affected by a number of factors, including:
o current and anticipated results of operations;
o changes in our business, operations or financial results;
o general market and economic conditions;
o the number of shares outstanding and freely tradeable; and
o the number of market makers in our stock.
The trading price of our common stock can be, in particular, affected if
our stockholders sell substantial amounts of our common stock, including shares
issued upon the exercise of outstanding options and warrants. If that occurs,
the market price of our common stock is likely to fall. In addition to
17,386,250 shares of common stock and 4,061,227 warrants outstanding,
our officers, directors and employees own options to purchase up to 9,602,400
additional shares of common stock.
FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
Certain important factors may affect our actual results and could cause
those results to differ materially from any forward-looking statements made in
this prospectus or that are otherwise made by us or on our behalf.
"Forward-looking statements" are not based on historical facts and are typically
phrased using words such as "may," "will," "expect," "believe," "anticipate,"
"intend," "could," "estimate" or "continue" and similar expressions or
variations.
Differences in actual results may be caused by factors such as those
discussed in "Risks of Investing in Intraco Shares" as well as those discussed
elsewhere in this prospectus and in our filings with the SEC.
Although we believe that the expectations reflected in the forward-looking
statements are reasonable, we cannot guarantee that they will be achieved.
Except as we are required by applicable law, we do not intend to update any of
the forward-looking statements to conform these statements to actual results.
USE OF PROCEEDS
We will receive no proceeds from the shares being offered by the selling
shareholders under this prospectus. We will receive an aggregate of $5,597,899
upon the exercise of the warrants, if all of the warrants are exercised. These
proceeds will be used for general working capital purposes.
6
<PAGE>
DIVIDEND POLICY
We have never paid any cash dividends on our common stock. We do not
currently anticipate paying cash dividends for the foreseeable future, but
instead we plan to retain any earnings to fund our growth. The decision to pay
dividends on our common stock in the future will depend on our ability to
generate earnings, our need for capital, our overall financial condition and
other factors that our Board of Directors may consider to be relevant.
PRICE RANGE OF OUR COMMON STOCK
Our common stock began trading under the symbol "INSY" on the OTC Bulletin
Board operated by the NASDAQ Stock Market, Inc. on April 29, 1999. These
quotations reflect inter-dealer prices, without retail mark-up, mark-down or
commissions, and may not represent actual transactions. The quotations listed

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
You should read the following discussion and analysis in conjunction with
our consolidated financial statements and the notes included elsewhere in this
prospectus.
OVERVIEW
We are an information technology, data and voice service provider. We are
in the process of shifting our business focus from the direct sale of computer
products and services to be installed on customer premises to providing products
and services delivered from Intraco data centers for recurring monthly fees.
This manner of providing products and services is commonly referred to as being
an "application service provider." We believe that our competitive advantage
lies in our ability to combine our in-house expertise with leading speech
recognition technologies available from third parties, including voice browsers
and natural language engines, to create comprehensive packages of technology and
voice services for a variety of businesses. We plan to deliver these
advanced technology services to small and midsize businesses such as
websites/e-commerce companies and larger businesses such as telecommunications
companies.
7
<PAGE>
Ultimately, these services will voice-enable a wide range of applications such
as websites, e-commerce, auctioning, paging, e-mail and unified messaging.
We are attempting to carry out an aggressive growth strategy that includes
both internal growth through sales and marketing expansion and external growth
through mergers, acquisitions, joint ventures and similar transactions. We are
currently seeking to acquire companies in the telecommunications, Internet
service provider and network systems integration areas. Additionally, we will
incorporate new products and technologies into our products. These new products
and technologies include phone access to Internet websites and voice recognition
driven auto-attendant products, through relationships we are establishing with
Motorola, Microsoft, and Phonetic Systems.
By year-end 2000, we will require additional funding to cover current
operations and to continue the implementation of our business plan. For this, we
anticipate that we will require approximately $5 million. We may need additional
funds as our customer base increases and the hardware necessary to provide these
services increases accordingly. We expect to raise these additional funds by
private investment and possible public offerings in the second quarter of 2001.
We cannot guarantee, however, that additional capital will be available in the
amount required, on terms acceptable to us, and at the time required by us.
We were incorporated in Florida in March 1990. In April 1999, we completed
a share exchange with Custom Touch Electronics, Inc., a Nevada corporation with
no material operations whose common stock traded on the OTC Bulletin Board.
Pursuant to the share exchange, all of the outstanding shares of Intraco capital
stock were exchanged for 10,531,500 Custom Touch shares. Thereafter, Custom
Touch changed its name to Intraco Systems, Inc.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1999 COMPARED TO YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1998
REVENUES. Revenues increased 8.1% from $2,704,931 for the year ended
December 31, 1998 to $2,925,268 for the year ended December 31, 1999. This
increase was primarily due to a $1,296,716 increase in systems/networks
revenues, offset by a $1,076,379 decrease in service contract revenues. One such
service contract is a contract with Compaq Computer (previously Digital
Equipment Corp.) that we have had for many years to resell support services. The
profit margins on these service contracts are below management's targets and,
therefore, more resources are being directed toward developing businesses with
higher profit margins and less emphasis is being placed on replacing those
contracts that are not being renewed.
COST OF REVENUES. Cost of revenues increased 26.4% to $2,165,581 for the
year ended December 31, 1999 as compared to $1,712,720 for 1998. Cost of systems
were $1,852,443, or 72.8%, of systems revenues for the year ended December 31,
1999, compared to $638,885, or 51.2%, of systems revenues for the corresponding
period in 1998. Cost of service contracts were $313,138, or 82.5%, of service
contract revenues for the year ended December 31, 1999, compared to $1,073,835,
or 73.7%, for the corresponding period in 1998. As we focused our business on
the higher margin, higher growth area of telecommunications services from our
8
<PAGE>
existing hardware and network support services, we have been less impacted by
the margin pressure on hardware being experienced throughout the industry. We
expect this situation to continue to improve as a greater proportion of sales
come from our newer product offerings. Although there can be no assurances that
this strategy will prove successful, management believes it is necessary for
Intraco's long-term viability.
SELLING, GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES. Selling, general and
administrative expenses increased $1,159,663, or 111.7%, to $2,197,492 for the
year ended December 31, 1999 from $1,037,829 for the corresponding period in
1998. Of the increase, $561,106 represented payroll costs in connection with the
hiring of additional personnel to begin entering new markets and to deliver new
products and services; $81,830 represented an increase in facilities and leased
equipment; $47,953 represented increased professional fees; and $216,073
represented increased financial advisory fees in connection with the decision to
complete the exchange offer with Custom Touch and possible additional
acquisitions. The remaining increases were attributable to additional selling,
general and administrative expenses.
INTEREST EXPENSE. Interest expense, net of interest income, decreased
$33,487 to $1,090 for 1999 from net interest expense of $34,577 in 1998,
reflecting the repayment of long-term debt.
NET LOSS. As a result of the foregoing, we reported a net loss of
$1,438,895 for the year ended December 31, 1999 and a net loss of $80,195 for
1998.
ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE. Accounts receivable increased $485,522, or 973%, to
$535,422 for the year ended December 31, 1999 from $49,900 for the year ended
December 31, 1998. This increase was primarily due to an increase in revenues
and to an increase in the average number of days outstanding. The average number
of days outstanding in 1999 was 36 days as compared to 19 days for 1998. As of
December 31, 1999, 98% of the accounts receivable was current.
ACCOUNTS PAYABLE. Accounts payable increased $693,476, or 209%, to
$1,025,952 for the year ended December 31, 1999 from $332,476 for the year ended
December 31, 1998. The increase was primarily due to an increase in the
purchasing of hardware to support the increase in revenues for the fourth
quarter of 1999. For the years ended December 31, 1999 and 1998, accounts
payable turned three times a year or an average of every four months.
NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2000 COMPARED TO NINE MONTHS ENDED
SEPTEMBER 30, 1999
REVENUES. Revenues increased 115% to $4,357,283 for the nine months ended
September 30, 2000 from $2,023,227 for the nine months ended September 30, 1999.
This increase was due to a $2,263,247 increase in systems/networks revenues.
Systems/networks revenues accounted for approximately 89% of revenues in the
2000 period compared to approximately 79% for the corresponding period in 1999.

COST OF REVENUES. Cost of revenues increased 149.2% to $3,627,224 for the
nine months ended September 30, 2000 from $1,447,475 for the nine months ended
September 30, 1999. Cost of systems/networks revenues were $3,327,462, or 86.2%,
of systems/networks revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 2000,
compared to $1,201,129, or 75.2%, of systems/networks revenues for the
corresponding period in 1999. Cost of service contracts were $299,762, or 60.3%,
of service contract revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 2000,
compared to $246,346, or 57.8%, for the corresponding period in 1999. The
increase in the cost of revenues is mainly due to the decrease in the margins as
a result of the margin pressure on hardware being experienced throughout the
industry, Intraco expects margins to improve as a greater proportion of sales
come from its newer product offerings. These products include computer
telephony, speech recognition and information technology outsourcing. Although
there can be no assurance that this strategy will prove successful, management
believes it is necessary for Intraco's long-term viability.
SELLING, GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES. Selling, general and
administrative expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2000 were
$3,677,193, compared to $1,381,038 for the nine months ended September 30, 1999,
an increase of $2,296,155, or 166.3%. Of the dollar increase, $1,506,429
represented increased payroll and commission costs in connection with the hiring
of additional personnel to begin entering new markets and to deliver the new
products and services; $74,700 represented recruiting fees in connection with
the hiring of sales and engineering personnel; $79,820 represented increased
professional fees; $114,126 represented increased public relations costs in
connection with engaging a public relations firm; $56,197 represented increased
advertising expenses; $95,868 represented increased directors and officers,
health and workers' compensation insurance costs; and $117,457 reflects
increased levels of depreciation and amortization due to capital expenditures;
and $63,327 represented increased service charges for the new data center. The
remaining increase was attributable to additional selling, general and
administrative expenses.
INTEREST INCOME. Interest income, net of interest expense, increased by
$71,703 to $68,256 for the nine months ended September 30, 2000 as compared to
net interest expense of $3,447 for the nine months ended September 30, 1999,
reflecting the interest earned on deposits and the repayment of long-term debt.
NET LOSS. As a result of the foregoing, Intraco reported a net loss of
$2,869,470 for the nine months ended September 30, 2000 compared to a net loss
of $808,733 for the nine months ended September 30, 1999, an increase of
$2,060,737.
ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE. Accounts receivable increased $724,127, or 1072%, to
$791,681 for the period ended September 30, 2000 from $67,554 for the period
ended September 30,1999. This increase was primarily due to the substantial
increase in revenues. As of September 30, 2000, 65% of the accounts receivable
were current as compared to 52% as of September 30, 1999.
ACCOUNTS PAYABLE. Accounts payable decreased $ 360,189, or 46.3%, to
$416,363 for the period ended September 30, 2000 from $776,552 for the period
ended September 30, 1999. The decrease was due to the use of the net proceeds
from Intraco's private offering in March 2000 to pay down outstanding trade
payables. Intraco was able to reduce accounts payable to a current status. As a
result of prior credit issues, we are required to maintain current payment terms
with our vendors.
PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT. Property and equipment increased $983,047, or
342%, to $1,270,404 for the period ended September 30, 2000 from $287,357 for
the period ended September 30, 1999. The increase was due to the investment in
additional equipment to support provide our new speech and telecommunication
services.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Intraco has historically incurred significant losses and has substantial
negative cash flow from operations. Intraco's independent auditors have included
a footnote in their annual report for the year ended December 31,1999, which
expresses concern about Intraco's ability to continue as a going concern unless
sales increase and/or additional investment capital is raised. Intraco expects
significant operating losses to continue at least during the first half of 2000.
Intraco received approximately $5.4 million from equity private placements
during the first half of 2000. Intraco will require additional funding to cover
current operations and the implementation of its business plan after the next
five weeks. Intraco is actively seeking additional financing, which may be
either debt or equity financing. There can be no assurance that any additional
financing will be raised or if raised, on favorable terms.
At December 31, 1999, Intraco's current assets totaled $790,220 and
current liabilities totaled $1,330,725, resulting in a negative working capital
ratio. At September 30, 2000, Intraco's current assets were $2,240,380 and
current liabilities were $1,083,320. Intraco had long-term liabilities of
$31,323 and $23,885 at December 31, 1999 and September 30, 2000, respectively.
Management is seeking to raise additional investment capital, both for working
capital as well as to finance its growth and acquisition strategy. Although
there can be no assurance that management will be successful in securing the
needed capital, management is in discussion with potential investors and is
optimistic that additional funding will be available.
Intraco had $151,725 of cash on hand at December 31, 1999, compared to
$32,245 at the end of 1998. Net cash used in operations for the year ended
December 31, 1999 totaled $1,104,543. This deficit was funded by the sale of
common and preferred stock. Intraco also repaid $294,147 of debt and incurred
costs of $283,153 in recapitalizing and merging with Custom Touch.
Intraco had $1,316,780 of cash on hand at September 30, 2000, compared to
$151,725 at December 31, 1999. Operating activities for the nine months ended
September 30, 2000 used cash of $3,398,343, primarily due to an increase in
accounts receivable of $250,202 in support of increased revenues, the payment of
trade payables of $609,589 and the net loss of $2,869,470. Net cash used in
investing activities was $944,123, reflecting the purchase of certain fixed
assets and investments in licensing agreements. Financing activities provided
cash in the amount of $5,664,616, primarily due to issuance of capital stock of
$5,059,669, which was partially offset by repayment of $130,188 of long-term
debt.
Intraco intends to pursue expansion and acquisition plans, which may
include the opening of additional facilities, both domestically and
internationally, as well as the acquisition of additional facilities and/or
companies. The success and timing of any such plans and required capital
expenditures are unpredictable. Intraco has no current arrangements with respect
to any possible acquisitions or material capital expenditures. Funding for such
plans may be obtained through the issuance of additional equity, through
additional borrowings and through profits from operations. Intraco cannot make
any assurances that such funding would become available for such plans. Also,
because Intraco is operating at a loss, it will need to secure additional
11
<PAGE>
funding to continue existing operations. No assurance can be made that such
funding will be forthcoming and if forthcoming, be available at reasonable
rates.
ABOUT INTRACO SYSTEMS, INC.
OVERVIEW
Intraco is an information technology, data and voice service provider. We
are using our in-house expertise with leading speech recognition technologies,
such as voice browsers and natural language engines, to create comprehensive
services for small and midsized businesses such as websites/e-commerce companies
and larger businesses such as telecommunications companies. Ultimately, Intraco
intends that its services will voice-power a wide range of applications such as
websites, e-commerce, auctioning, paging, e-mail and unified messaging.
We believe that a significant market opportunity exists with the emergence
of the Internet, especially for business use, and the subsequent expansion of
"application service providers" who lease software and telecommunications
services over the Internet or private data networks. According to Forrester
Research, the business-to-business Internet market is expected to grow from $109
billion in 1999 to $1.3 trillion in 2003, representing a compounded annual
growth rate of approximately 87%. Additionally, the business-to-business market
is estimated to be more than 12 times the size of the business-to-consumer
market in 2003. According to International Data Corporation and Dataquest, Inc.,
a unit of the Gartner Group, the application service provider market has been
estimated to range from $7.8 billion and $25.3 billion by 2004. We believe that
we are well-positioned to capture market share as companies become increasingly
familiar with and recognize the need for advanced speech recognition
technologies deployed on an application service provider basis.
Intraco currently offers several packages of speech recognition based
products and services designed for businesses to use the Internet and
telecommunications applications. It has fully operational prototypes of its
solutions, some of which are in the client evaluation stage. These products
include:
o The voice-enablement of websites, which will be offered on an
application service provider basis; and
o "Virtual office" systems including basic telephone services,
unified messaging and voice-driven e-mail facilitation, which will
also be offered on an application service provider basis.
Intraco delivers it services over leased data lines from two rented data
centers currently located in Boca Raton, Florida and New York, New York.
Intraco believes that it has been able to create these systems based upon
several advantages. Our senior management has extensive knowledge of the voice
recognition industry. Intraco's chief executive officer, Walt Nawrocki, spent
more than 30 years with IBM pioneering new technologies, where he was ultimately
responsible for the creation and ongoing management
12
<PAGE>
of IBM's speech recognition business. Subsequent to IBM, Mr. Nawrocki founded
and served as chief executive officer and president of Registry Magic Inc.,
where he established the Virtual Operator as the industry standard for
speech-driven auto-attendants.
Intraco also believes that its extensive knowledge of the voice
recognition industry also gives Intraco the ability to identify which vendors
supply the most advanced and effective technological components. Intraco's
relationships with these vendors, which include Motorola and Nuance, have
allowed it to establish long-term working agreements in the form of joint
ventures and licensing agreements. As a result, Intraco is able to benefit from
the significant investments already made by these outside firms. Finally,
Intraco operates as a systems integrator; in other words, it combines software
packages developed by others into a system that integrates several separate
technologies into one cohesive system.
Intraco intends to sell its products and services on an application
service provider basis primarily through major national network service
providers such as UUNET, Intermedia Communications, Cable and Wireless, Leve13
Communications and Verio and through portals that cater to small and midsized
businesses. In both cases, the focus is on distributors instead of end-users.
Intraco does not intend to service individual consumers, but instead is
targeting other business customers through the network service providers and
portals. Intraco intends to pursue these customers by using a sales team that
has more than 100 years of combined experience in the technology industry.
Additionally, Intraco's strategic relationships provide it with proven marketing
partners, with a history of successful products and services.
PRINCIPAL CUSTOMERS
At the present time, Intraco is dependent on a limited number of
customers. Leastec Systems, Inc. represented 17% of Intraco's revenues as of
September 30, 2000. Our sales and marketing efforts, as described above, are
intended to increase our exposure to potential clients and to increase our
client base. We cannot guarantee that our efforts will be successful in this
regard, however. As a result, we are vulnerable to the loss of a major client.
THE INTRACO SOLUTION
Intraco's products and services are designed to use the Internet and
standard telecommunications applications. The key components of the Intraco
solution include:
o FIRST-TO-MARKET. Intraco believes it has a substantial head
start in the development of language and speech recognition
products and services. Through its relationships with firms
that have been instrumental in the development of speech
recognition products, such as Microsoft, Motorola and Nuance,
Intraco has had access to and in some cases has helped develop
the software that Intraco currently uses in its speech
recognition systems. These relationships, combined with
Intraco's ability to integrate the software using its
proprietary technology, has enabled Intraco to produce what it
believes are superior, first-to-market, commercially viable
solutions.
13
<PAGE>
o AGREEMENTS AND STRATEGIC RELATIONSHIPS. Intraco has developed
relationships with companies such as Motorola, Microsoft and
Nuance, which have provided Intraco with access to newly
developed speech recognition and other technologies. Each of
these firms has expended significant amounts of resources
developing these components, such as voice browsers and
natural language engines, but lacks the ability to integrate
these disparate pieces of software into a set of services that
can be delivered to the end-user. Intraco believes that it has
obtained access to these products because of its expertise in
the speech recognition sector and because it is currently one
of the few firms that can integrate these applications into a
commercially viable product.
Intraco currently has the following agreements in place:
o Motorola: Definitive agreement for the joint marketing
of Motorola's VoxML Language Software, enabling voice
access to the Internet, using Intraco's Voice-Web
service bureau capability.
o Nuance: Definitive agreement pursuant to which Intraco
has a non-exclusive license to use Nuance's software for
an indefinite amount of time. Intraco may terminate the
agreement at any time. Nuance has the right to terminate
the agreement if Intraco breaches the terms of the
agreement and does not cure the breach within 30 days of
having received written notice of the breach.
o Microsoft: Definitive agreement pursuant to which
Intraco is authorized to provide services and products
developed by Microsoft. The agreement is for a term of
one year and is renewable for successive one-year terms
provided Intraco meets certain criteria. The agreement
may be terminated by either party with 30 days' notice.
Microsoft can terminate the agreement immediately if
Intraco: (i) breaches its obligations; (ii) pirates its
products; or (iii) transfers or assigns a significant
portion of its stock to a third party.
o TECHNOLOGICAL EXPERTISE. Intraco has extensive experience in
speech recognition technology, as well as in programming and
software integration. This experience allows Intraco to create
integrated technologies and quickly bring them to market.
Intraco has the ability to identify which vendors supply the
most advanced and effective technological components.
Additionally, Intraco has significant systems integration
experience that enables Intraco to integrate the most advanced
and effective technological components into one cohesive
system. Intraco also has a team of engineers with the in-house
expertise to install and service both the hardware and
software components.
o MANAGEMENT EXPERTISE. Intraco's management team brings a
highly qualified and diverse background with extensive
experience in identifying and applying leading-edge
technology. Walt Nawrocki, our chief executive officer, has
significant experience in developing and integrating voice
automation
14
<PAGE>
technologies. Mr. Nawrocki spent more than 30 years with IBM,
where he became manager for worldwide product development and
business management. In that role, he managed a number of
business areas, including speech recognition products, and was
responsible for acquisitions, joint development and original
equipment manufacturing licensing programs.
o PRODUCTS WORK TODAY. Intraco currently has fully operational
prototypes of its speech recognition solutions, with some of
these prototypes in the client evaluation phase. Intraco
believes it is the first to offer commercially viable speech
recognition solutions for use in Internet applications. As
such, we believe we are positioned to capture substantial
market share as companies become increasingly familiar with,
and realize the need for, advanced speech recognition
technologies.
INDUSTRY OVERVIEW
Intraco currently provides several service packages, on an application
service provider basis, which take advantage of the convergence of speech
recognition technologies and the Internet.
SPEECH RECOGNITION TECHNOLOGIES. Various types of speech recognition
technologies have existed for several years and the number of commercially
available speech enabled products continues to grow. Until recently, however,
speech recognition products have worked poorly and have been costly, thereby
limiting widespread acceptance.
Historically, emphasis in the speech recognition industry was placed on
the development of "core speech recognition engine" technology, a set of
algorithms that interpret speech patterns. Many companies, including Lernout and
Hauspie, IBM, Dragon Systems, Voice Control Systems, Nuance, Nortel, SpeechWorks
and Lucent, have spent substantial sums of money over the last quarter century
in developing core speech recognition engine technology for the telephone. The
development of speech recognition engine technologies requires the use of speech
algorithms, statistics, digital signal processing algorithms, digital signal
processing programming, phonetics, linguistics, information theory and coding
theory. For the most part, these speech recognition engine manufacturers have
allowed others to develop commercial speech applications.
As new technologies are developed, their accessibility and simplicity of
operation directly effects how often and how widely they are used. The advent of
the Internet, combined with recent advances in speech recognition technology,
has provided both the accessibility and simplicity to increase the popularity of
speech recognition products. As of a few years ago, the integration of speech
recognition within a call center environment required extensive systems
integration expertise, money and time. Now, with the availability of improved
technologies, the ability to turn websites into speech-driven call centers can
be achieved with the right speech recognition and Internet development skills.
Speech is the most natural, efficient and simple means of human
communication. With the increase in the power and capability of speech
recognition engine technologies and the
15
<PAGE>
increase in speed and reduction in the cost of computer processors, the use of
human speech to access the Internet via a telephone is now feasible.
GROWTH OF THE INTERNET. Internet usage and online commerce continue to
grow worldwide. Forrester Research estimates that revenue generated worldwide
from online commerce will grow to exceed $6.8 trillion in 2004.
APPLICATION SERVICE PROVIDER MARKET. Application service providers are
service-oriented firms that provide contractual services, offering to deploy,
host, manage and enhance what is usually packaged application software from a
centrally managed facility. The application service provider provides services
remotely, either on line over the Internet or over dedicated telecommunications
lines. The application service provider hosts the software, builds and maintains
the network servers necessary to store and run the software application,
provides the systems necessary to deliver the software application directly to
the user's desktop, and provides the necessary information technology staff to
implement upgrades and provide support and maintenance functions. The
application service provider takes all administrative and technical
responsibilities from the client company, thereby cutting costs. Clients can use
leading business software applications without the cost and burden of owning
them.
The definition of an application service provider includes the following
characteristics:
1. APPLICATIONS COMMERCIALLY AVAILABLE. Application service providers
provide access to and management of a software application that is commercially
available. This service is different from "business process outsourcing," where
the outsourcing contract encompasses the management of entire business processes
such as human resources or finance.
2. "SELLING" APPLICATION ACCESS. Application service providers offer
customers access to new applications without requiring the customer to make
up-front investments in the application licenses, servers, people and other
resources. The application service provider either owns the software or has a
contractual agreement with the software vendor to license access to the
software.
3. CENTRALLY MANAGED. The services are managed from a central location
rather than at each customer's site. Customers access applications remotely,
such as over the Internet or via leased lines.
4. ONE-TO-MANY SERVICE. The services are designed to be offered to many
users. The application service provider partners with other vendors of
standardized offerings that require little or no customization, that many
companies will subscribe for over specific contract periods.
5. DELIVERING ON THE CONTRACT. The application service provider is the
firm that is responsible, in the customer's eyes, for delivering the agreed-upon
service, ensuring that the application service is provided as promised.
The application service provider industry is ideally suited for small to
midsized businesses. Unable to afford the huge fixed costs of network servers
and information technology
16
<PAGE>
staff to support them, small and midsized businesses can turn to an application
service provider to take care of the responsibility, financial and staffing
aspects. They pay a flat rate per user per month and receive access to the
latest and most sophisticated software applications that otherwise may be too
expensive. The application service provider can easily expand the services it
provides to meet the growth of the businesses it supports. With the help of
application service providers, small to midsized businesses should be able to
better compete with their larger competitors. According to International Data
Corporation, the number of customers of high-end application service providers
is expected to double or triple in the next few years as they become more
familiar with the benefits of the application service provider model and more
confident in its reliability.
The application service provider industry has many strengths that could
make it very successful with resellers. First, more customers than ever have
remote and/or mobile workgroups with specific functions that are more easily
automated using Internet technologies. Second, the increasing costs of
information technology are making outsourcing a popular alternative. Third, the
privacy of networks is much more secure using an application service provider
server than individual in-house servers. Finally, large vendors such as Oracle
have shown great confidence in fledgling application service providers. The
application service provider industry offers products and services that provide
recurring revenue streams to resellers.
TECHNOLOGY
The driving force behind Intraco's vision and technology is the telephone,
which should remain the preferred means of communication for the foreseeable
future. Statistically, there are 10 times as many telephones as computers with
Internet access, and phones, especially cellular phones, are much more
convenient to use. Via voice and speech recognition technologies, users will be
able to communicate by simply speaking, without having to press keys, talk to an
operator or agent, or use a visually based Web browser. The communication will
be completely automated and interactive, allowing for the ease and practicality
of voice recognition without sacrificing the functionality of traditional
services.
The hardware for these systems has multiple voice telephone lines coming
in from the local exchange carrier's central office. This receives the incoming
calls and can originate outgoing calls. The software functions are:
o Voice browser -- this is the "voice gateway" through which the
computer-based conversation is managed.
o Authentication, billing and accounting -- to track all system usage
from which bills are created.
o Voice recognition -- to recognize and interpret your responses to
prompts.
o Text-to-Speech -- to playback text-based information retrieved from
the network in response to your commands.
17
<PAGE>
The underlying technology that powers this capability was developed by
firms such as Microsoft, Motorola and Nuance, all having been instrumental in
the development of speech recognition software. For example, Motorola and
Microsoft each offers its own proprietary voice browser software enabling voice
access to the Web. Companies such as Nuance provide an extremely proficient
natural language engine. Each of these firms offers important technology
components of the overall solutions but lacks the overall expertise to integrate
these pieces. Intraco has recognized this opportunity, and as an early adopter
and leader in this technology, intends to make use of its strategic
relationships and apply its technological expertise to integrate each separate
capability into a single system.
SERVICE OFFERINGS
In a very competitive global marketplace, businesses must focus on what
they do best and outsource other functions. Operating as an application service
provider enables small to midsized businesses to outsource their information
technology needs by allowing Intraco to provide these services. Initially,
Intraco will focus on the basic technology requirements of a business: Web
services, phone services, messaging and networks.
VOICE-BASED SERVICES. The explosion of the Internet, especially the
business-to-business market, along with the expansion of the application service
providers, has led to the rapid expansion of the number of commercial websites
and the hosting of data centers that serve the websites. Through its voice-based
packages of services, Intraco believes that it can provide speech and voice
recognition services to these websites on an application service provider basis
through network service providers such as Verio and Exodus Communications, which
host the websites. These network service providers can incorporate Intraco's
voice-based capabilities with their own services that they provide to websites,
in addition to the standard Web-hosting services.
Intraco will provide this service directly and will also offer its
voice-based services to business-to-business portal websites, which will
subsequently offer the voice-based service as part of the websites' standard
service offerings. Additionally, Intraco will provide this new service directly
by hosting sites for customers as well as support services either on the
customer's premise or at an Intraco site.
Within the voice-based service line, Intraco intends to focus on three
categories of products. The first is voice information that would enable a user
to call into a website and have specific information read to them over the
telephone. For example, a traveling sales executive can access his company's
website from a cellular telephone and get order status or pricing information
for his next customer call. The second product is voice commerce, which would
enable a user with a traditional paper catalog to call a retailer's website from
a standard telephone and order products without involving a person in the
transaction unless there is a need to do so. Not only does speech recognition
provide increased convenience for customer but also allows businesses to expand
their distribution channels by providing customers website access via standard
telephones from anywhere on earth. This capability substantially reduces "missed
or dropped" calls due to hold times and busy signals while simultaneously
reducing personnel costs. The last product that stems from the voice browser is
voice alerts. This product will be
18
<PAGE>
used to provide information alerts for a variety of users. One potential area
that Intraco intends to target is construction and machinery auction sites. As
these users are typically onsite, without computer access, they must be able to
quickly react to pending contracts or competitors' bids. This automated process
would allow users, via cellular telephones, to not only receive alerts and
critical information instantly, but to respond as well.
"VIRTUAL OFFICE." With the "Virtual Office" system, Intraco is developing
the basic building blocks for a business' telecommunications needs. The basic
services offered will include: voice-enabled e-mail, a service which allows a
person to access his/her e-mail and have it read to him/her over the phone;
unified messaging services including fax, e-mail and voicemail to a single
voice-enabled message box and global availability; and basic telephony services
such as call waiting and forwarding. This will be extremely useful to a small to
midsized company that does not want to expend resources to hire operators and/or
secretaries. Instead, even a start-up can portray a "high-tech" image by
subscribing to these services. Intraco intends to expand its services through
partnerships with providers of other applications typically needed by a
business.
SALES AND MARKETING
Intraco markets its services through direct sales to customers by
Intraco's sales force and by indirect sales through channels such as
telecommunications companies and distributors of telecommunications equipment.
Intraco's strategy is to focus its sales efforts on the large and growing
business-to-business market. Intraco intends to focus its sales and marketing
efforts on the small and midsized business market sector in the U.S. Intraco
will specifically rely on indirect marketing by utilizing established
distribution channels such as telecommunications companies and distributors of
telecommunications equipment, which ultimately offer Intraco's services to
end-users. Intraco will also generate additional sales leads by using its own
sales staff and through its joint marketing agreements.
Through its strategic agreements, Intraco has built solid relationships
with many of the industry's leading technology companies, including Motorola,
Microsoft and Nuance. Intraco believes that its partners are fully committed to
the success of Intraco's speech recognition and voice-enabling products and
should provide a significant source of leads for Intraco, improve its technical
sales expertise, and offer significant name recognition for marketing events and
programs.
Intraco's current sales management team of 16 sales personnel, who are
experienced in the technology industry, provide a strong ability to understand
existing and new technologies.
Intraco's marketing staff intends to promote Intraco as a leading provider
of voice-enabled services through an ongoing public relations program including
trade shows, professional seminars and other promotional venues.
19
<PAGE>
COMPETITION
The application service provider market is new and rapidly changing. The
speech recognition for Internet applications sector is even further in its
infancy, which management believes is an advantage for Intraco. By combining
third-party software and technology with its own in-house expertise, Intraco
believes it maintains an advantage over any current competitor or potential
market entrant.
Considering the extensive experience and advanced technology required to
successfully penetrate this market segment, current and new competitors may not
have the ability to offer comparable products and/or services without
significant speech recognition and systems integration expertise. Intraco
believes the principal competitive factors in this segment of the industry
include:
o Scope of services;
o Service delivery approach;
o Technical and industry expertise;
o Perceived value;
o Objectivity; and
o Results orientation.
Intraco could potentially compete with a variety of competitors,
including:
o Voice enabling companies - Tellme Networks, @Motion and Online
Anywhere, a company recently acquired by Yahoo! Inc.;
o Virtual assistant companies - General Magic, Wildfire Communications
and Webley Systems. These companies are developing applications for
interactive response and voice verification for the Internet;
o Communication services providers - AccessLine Technologies, Call
Sciences and Intellivoice Communications; and
o Large manufacturers and developers - Motorola, Microsoft, IBM and
Lucent Technologies, all of which have significantly greater
financial, technical and marketing resources but lack the expertise
to integrate each of the components into a single source commercial
solution.
Many of these competitors have significantly greater financial, technical
and marketing resources and greater name recognition than we have. There can be
no assurances that Intraco will complete successfully with its existing
competitors or with any new competitors.

INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY
Intraco relies on a combination of nondisclosure and other contractual
arrangements and trade secret, copyright, and trademark laws to its protected
proprietary rights and the proprietary rights of third parties. Intraco enters
into confidentiality agreements with key employees, and limits the distribution
of proprietary information.
Our success is dependent, in part, on methodologies used in designing,
installing and integrating computer software and systems and other proprietary
intellectual property. We rely on a combination of nondisclosure and other
contractual arrangements and trade secret, copyright and trademark laws to
protect our proprietary rights and the proprietary rights of third parties. We
also enter into confidentiality agreements with our key employees and limit
distribution of proprietary information. There can be no assurance, however,
that the steps we take will be adequate to deter misappropriation of proprietary
information or that management will be able to detect unauthorized use and take
appropriate steps to enforce our intellectual property rights.
GOVERNMENT REGULATION
At the present time, Intraco believes that its services are not subject to
regulation as telecommunications services. To the extent that local or long
distance telephone services are provided as part of a package of Intraco's
services, these telephone services are provided directly by a licensed carrier.
Intraco may in the future determine to resell telephone services as part
of its packaged services. If so, Intraco will be required to obtain certificates
of authority or licenses from the telecommunications regulatory agencies in each
state in which it will provide such services. Intraco will also be required to
comply with various state law requirements, such as providing "911" emergency
services. The process to apply for these certificates or licenses can be lengthy
and expensive, and Intraco cannot guarantee that it will be able to obtain them.
If Intraco cannot obtain all necessary state certificates or licenses, the
services it will be able to resell directly will be affected.
As a reseller of telephone services, Intraco may also be subject to
federal regulation by the Federal Communications Commission with respect to the
resale of international long-distance services. The FCC requires resellers of
international telecommunications services to obtain authorization, the process
for which can also be lengthy and expensive. Without such authorization, Intraco
would be precluded from offering such services.
EMPLOYEES
As of September 30, 2000, Intraco had a total staff of 43 employees,
composed of 15 technical professionals, 16 sales and marketing personnel and 12
administrative personnel. No employees are represented by a labor union or
subject to a collective bargaining agreement. Management believes that employee
relations generally are good.

DESCRIPTION OF PROPERTY
Intraco's corporate headquarters are located in approximately 6,800 square
feet of leased office space in Boca Raton, Florida. The lease expires in October
2003 and provides for annual payments ranging from $84,060 in the first year to
$98,431 in the fifth year. Intraco has two five-year renewal options.
Intraco believes that its current headquarters location is suitable for
the next year.
LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
On October 29, 1999, Banker's Leasing Association filed a suit against
Intraco and Jack Berger in the Circuit Court of the Fifteenth Judicial Circuit
in and for Palm Beach County, Florida for breach of a master lease agreement and
personal guaranty related to computer equipment, software and services leased by
Intraco for the amount of $71,608. Intraco has filed a counterclaim based on
Banker's failure to provide services agreed to in the lease and breach of
fiduciary duty. Banker has answered Intraco's counterclaim and filed suit
against AIM Solutions, Inc., as successor to Enterprises Solutions Group, Inc.,
the third party responsible for setting up the computer equipment and software
and providing services. AIM has responded to the claims against it. Discovery
has not yet commenced.

pursuant to which he serves as Intraco's president. The agreement now expires
December 31, 2002. The agreement provides for an annual salary of $160,000, with
base salary adjustments at the end of each year of employment at the discretion
of the Board of Directors.
The agreement also provides that Mr. Berger's employment may be terminated
at Intraco's discretion at any time prior to December 31, 2002, provided that
Intraco shall pay Mr. Berger an amount equal to payment at his base salary rate
from the date of termination through December 31, 2002, plus an amount equal to
50% of his base salary. In the event of such termination, Mr. Berger is not

shall be paid 50% of his then applicable base salary. In the event of such
termination, Mr. Berger shall not be entitled to receive any incentive salary
payment or any other compensation then in effect, prorated or otherwise.
In the event that Mr. Berger is in breach of any material obligation owed
to Intraco, habitually neglects the duties to be performed by him under the
agreement, engages in any conduct that is dishonest, damages the reputation or
standing of Intraco, or is convicted of any criminal act or engages in any act
of moral turpitude, then Intraco may terminate the agreement upon five days'
notice to Mr. Berger. In the event of such termination, Mr. Berger shall be paid
only at the then-applicable base salary rate up to and including the date of
termination, and shall not be paid any incentive salary payments or other
compensation, prorated or otherwise.
Intraco entered into a three-year employment agreement with Walt Nawrocki,
effective as of September 24, 1999 and amended effective January 1, 2000,
pursuant to which he serves as Intraco's chief executive officer. The agreement

end of each year of employment at the discretion of the Board of Directors. The
agreement otherwise has similar terms to Mr. Berger's agreement.

pursuant to which he serves
25
<PAGE>
as Intraco's chief financial officer. The agreement provides for a base salary
of $145,000 commencing in January 2000. Further increases in base salary will be

STOCK OPTION PLAN
Intraco has adopted a stock option plan to attract and induce officers,
directors and key employees of Intraco to remain with Intraco. The plan provides
for the grant of options that qualify as incentive stock options under Section
422(a) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and nonstatutory
options. The stock option plan was approved in 1998 and amended in 1999 to
increase the number of shares available for grant to 10,000,000.
As of September 30, 2000, options to purchase an aggregate of 9,602,400
shares of common stock were outstanding under the plan with exercise prices of
$0.25 to $4.87. These options vest immediately over a five-year period and
expire from two years to 10 years from the date of grant. In 1999, options to
purchase an aggregate of 6,789,800 shares were granted, including 4,000,000 to
Mr. Nawrocki and 2,000,000 to Mr. Marcus.
The Board may terminate the plan or may amend the plan as it may deem
advisable. The Board may unilaterally amend the plan and incentive awards as it
deems appropriate to ensure compliance with Rule 16b-3 and to cause incentive
awards to meet the requirements of the Internal Revenue Code and the regulations
thereunder.
All present and future employees of Intraco or of any parent or subsidiary
of Intraco and any consultant retained to provide services to Intraco, and who
is selected by the committee to be eligible to receive incentive awards under
the plan are entitled to receive options under the plan.
All present and future non-employee directors are eligible to receive
nonstatutory options under the plan. Non-employee directors shall not be
entitled to receive any other form of incentive award under the plan.
The exercise price of shares of common stock covered by an incentive stock
option cannot be less than 100% of the fair market value of such shares on the
date of grant; provided that if an incentive stock option is granted to an
employee who, at the time of the grant, is a 10% shareholder, then the exercise
price of the shares covered by the incentive stock option will not be less than
110% of the fair market value of such shares on the date of grant. The exercise
price of nonstatutory stock options will not be less than 85% of fair market
value of such shares on the date of grant.

CERTAIN TRANSACTIONS
From time to time, Intraco has loaned funds and sold products to Intraco
Systems Pty., Ltd., an Australian corporation that is indirectly controlled by
Jack S. Berger, Intraco's president. Mr. Berger is a majority stockholder in
Intraco International, Inc., the corporation that owns a majority interest in
Intraco Systems Pty. In 1998, Intraco sold products to Intraco Systems Pty.
valued at $235,255 and received cash payments of $199,126. The balance remaining
due to Intraco for those products, together with the balance due from the prior
year's sales, totaled $169,539 and was converted into a note receivable bearing
interest at 6% per annum and payable in 36 monthly installments. In 1999,
$74,000 was collected and the remaining $48,000 was determined to be
uncollectible.
In May 1997, Intraco entered into a consulting agreement with Vestar
Capital Corporation pursuant to which Vestar provides organizational and
strategic planning services. Vestar assisted Intraco with an internal
reorganization in 1998 and assisted in the identification of potential
acquisitions. The compensation under this agreement provided for monthly fees of
$3,000 through February 1998, and $1,650 per week thereafter. Vestar was also
issued 891,000 restricted shares of common stock, which represented 9.9% of the
then-outstanding shares, and had the right to be issued warrants to maintain its
9.9% interest despite any further issuances of capital stock until May 2000
pursuant to an anti-dilution provision in its consulting agreement. During March
1999, Intraco issued to Vestar warrants to purchase 150,000 shares of common
stock at $0.25 per share in exchange for the cancellation of the anti-dilution
clause of its consulting agreement. The consulting agreement with Vestar was
terminated at the beginning of 2000.
In April 1999, Intraco completed a share exchange with Custom Touch, a
Nevada corporation with no material operations whose common stock traded on the
OTC Bulletin Board. Under the share exchange agreement, all outstanding shares
of Intraco capital stock were exchanged for 10,531,500 Custom Touch shares,
which represented 81% of the total Custom Touch shares outstanding at the time
of the exchange. Upon the completion of the exchange, the prior shareholders and
promoters of Custom Touch held 2,429,489 shares and the Intraco shareholders
held 10,531,500 shares. Thereafter, Custom Touch changed its name to Intraco
Systems, Inc. A total of 1,487,298 shares were issued to Jensen Services and
Associates for services associated with the share exchange.
In March 2000, Jack S. Berger and Walt Nawrocki entered into a voting
agreement pursuant to which they agreed to share equally in voting the shares
owned by each of them. Each also agreed to vote all of the shares of Intraco
securities to which he is entitled to vote in favor of the other person in the
election of Intraco directors and to not take any action, directly or
indirectly, that will assist, facilitate, encourage or solicit another party in
the removal of the other from Intraco board or from their current positions as
executive officers of Intraco.
OUR SECURITIES
The following summarizes the important provisions of our capital stock.
For more information about our capital stock, please see our copy of our amended
and restated certificate
30
<PAGE>
of incorporation that has been filed as an exhibit to the registration statement
of which this prospectus forms a part.
Under the amended and restated certificate of incorporation, the
authorized but unissued and unreserved shares of our capital stock will be
available for issuance for general corporate purposes, including possible stock
dividends, future mergers or acquisitions, or private or public offerings.
Except as may otherwise be required, shareholder approval will not be required
for the issuance of those shares.
Our authorized capital stock consists of 100,000,000 shares of common
stock, par value $.001 per share, and 10,000,000 shares of preferred stock, par
value $.001 per share. As of the date of this prospectus, 17,386,250 shares of
common stock and 1,368,900 shares of preferred stock are outstanding.
COMMON STOCK
Each share of our common stock entitles the holder to one vote on all
matters submitted to a vote of the shareholders. The holders of common stock are
entitled to receive dividends, when, as and if declared by the Board of
Directors, in its discretion, from funds legally available therefor. We do not
currently intend to declare or pay cash dividends in the foreseeable future, but
rather intend to retain any future earnings to finance the expansion of our
businesses. If we liquidate or dissolve, the holders of our common stock are
entitled to share ratably in our assets, if any, legally available for
distribution to shareholders after the payment of all of our debts and
liabilities and payment of the liquidation preference of any outstanding shares
of preferred stock.
Our common stock has no preemptive rights and no subscription, redemption
or conversion privileges. Our common stock does not have cumulative voting
rights, which means that the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of
our common stock voting for the election of directors can elect all members of
the Board of Directors. A majority vote is also sufficient for other actions
that require the vote or concurrence of shareholders.
PREFERRED STOCK
Our Board of Directors has the authority to issue up to 10,000,000 shares
of preferred stock in one or more series. The Board can determine the number of
shares in each series, as well as the voting and other rights of the series,
including the dividend rights and dividend rate, terms of redemption, conversion
rights and liquidation preferences. The Board has the authority to determine
these rights without any further vote or action by the shareholders.
We have designated 2,500,000 shares of preferred stock as Series A
Convertible Redeemable Preferred Stock, of which 396,500 shares are currently
outstanding. Each share is convertible into one share of our common stock,
subject to adjustment in certain circumstances. Each share of Series A preferred
stock is entitled to receive a cumulative dividend of 7% per annum, payable
quarterly. Each share has a liquidation value of $1.00. We may redeem the
31
<PAGE>
shares at any time for $1.00 per share at our option. Each share of Series A
preferred stock is non-voting, except as otherwise required by applicable law.
We have designated 1,700,000 shares of preferred stock as Series B
Convertible Redeemable Preferred Stock, of which 972,400 shares are currently
outstanding. Each share is convertible into one share of our common stock,
subject to adjustment in certain circumstances. Each share has a liquidation
value of $1.00, except that the liquidation value per share for subscriptions
exceeding $100,000 is $.997. We may redeem the shares at any time for the
liquidation value per share at our option. Each share of Series B preferred
stock is non-voting, except as otherwise required by applicable law.
"ANTI-TAKEOVER" PROVISIONS
Although the Board of Directors is not currently aware of any takeover
attempts, our certificate of incorporation and by-laws contain certain
provisions that may be deemed to be "anti-takeover" because they may deter,
discourage or make more difficult the assumption of control of the company by
another corporation or person through a tender offer, merger, proxy contest or
similar transaction or series of transactions. These provisions were adopted
unanimously by our Board of Directors and approved by our shareholders.
AUTHORIZED BUT UNISSUED SHARES. We authorized 100,000,000 shares of
common stock and 10,000,000 shares of preferred stock. These shares were
authorized for the purpose of providing our Board of Directors with as much
flexibility as possible to issue additional shares for proper corporate
purposes, including equity financing, acquisitions, stock dividends, stock
splits, other grants of stock options, and other purposes. The issuance of
shares of preferred stock may have an adverse effect on the holders of our
common stock. Our shareholders do not have preemptive rights with respect to the
purchase of any shares. Therefore, such issuances could result in a dilution of
voting rights and book value per share as to our common stock.
NO CUMULATIVE VOTING. Our by-laws do not contain any provisions for
cumulative voting. Cumulative voting entitles shareholders to as many votes as
equal the number of shares owned by such holder multiplied by the number of
directors to be elected. A shareholder may cast all these votes for one
candidate or distribute them among any two or more candidates. Thus, cumulative
voting for the election of directors allows a shareholder or group of
shareholders that hold less than 50% of the outstanding shares voting to elect
one or more members of a board of directors. Without cumulative voting for the
election of directors, the vote of holders of a plurality of the shares voting
is required to elect any member of a board of directors and would be sufficient
to elect all the members of the board being elected.
GENERAL EFFECT OF ANTI-TAKEOVER PROVISIONS. The overall effect of these
provisions may be to deter a future tender offer or other takeover attempt that
some shareholders might view to be in their best interest, as the offer might
include a premium over the market price of our common stock at that time. In
addition, these provisions may have the effect of assisting our current
management in retaining its positions and better enable it to resist changes
that some shareholders may want to make if dissatisfied with the conduct of our
business.

SHARES ELIGIBLE FOR FUTURE SALE
Of the 17,386,250 shares of our common stock outstanding as of the date of
this prospectus, 16,988,139 shares of common stock are restricted securities, as
that term is defined in Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act.
Of the 17,386,250 shares currently outstanding, 8,249,400 shares are owned
by our affiliates, as that term is defined under the Securities Act. Pursuant to
an SEC interpretive letter, the sale of the shares owned by affiliates may be
carried out only pursuant to a registered offering, such as under this
prospectus. In limited other circumstances, Rule 144 may be available for
resales by non-affiliates. Under Rule 144, if certain other conditions are
satisfied, a person who has beneficially owned restricted shares of common stock
for at least one year is entitled to sell within any three-month period a number
of shares up to the greater of 1% of the total number of outstanding shares of
common stock, or if the common stock is quoted on Nasdaq or an exchange, the
average weekly trading volume during the four calendar weeks preceding the sale.
A person who has not been our affiliate for at least three months immediately
preceding the sale, and who has beneficially owned the shares of common stock
for at least two years, is entitled under Rule 144, if the rule is available, to
sell the shares without regard to any of the volume limitations described above.
No prediction can be made as to the effect, if any, that sales of shares
or the availability of shares for sale as described above will have on the
market prices of the common stock prevailing from time to time. Nevertheless,
the possibility that substantial amounts of common stock may be sold in the
public market may adversely affect prevailing prices for the common stock and
could impair our ability to raise capital in the future through the sale of
equity securities.
HOW THE SHARES MAY BE DISTRIBUTED
The selling shareholders may sell their shares of common stock in various
ways and at various prices. Some of the methods by which the selling
shareholders may sell their shares include:
o ordinary brokerage transactions and transactions in which the broker
solicits purchasers or makes arrangements for other brokers to
participate in soliciting purchasers;
o privately negotiated transactions;
o block trades in which the broker or dealer will attempt to sell the
shares as agent but may position and resell a portion of the block
as principal to facilitate the transaction;
o purchases by a broker or dealer as principal and resale by that
broker or dealer for the selling shareholder's account under this
prospectus in the over-the-counter market at prices and on terms
then prevailing in the market;
33
<PAGE>
o sales under Rule 144, if available, rather than using this
prospectus;
o a combination of any of these methods of sale; and
o any other legally permitted method.
The applicable sales price may be affected by the type of transaction.
The selling shareholders may also pledge their shares as collateral for
margin loans under their customer agreements with their brokers. If there is a
default by the selling shareholders, the brokers may offer and sell the pledged
shares. When selling their shares of common stock, the selling shareholders
intend to comply with the prospectus delivery requirements under the Securities
Act, by delivering a prospectus to each purchaser. We intend to file any
amendments or other necessary documents in compliance with the Securities Act
that may be required in the event a selling shareholder defaults under any
customer agreement with brokers.
Brokers and dealers may receive commissions or discounts from the selling
shareholders or, in the event the broker-dealer acts as agent for the purchaser
of the shares, from that purchaser, in amounts to be negotiated. These
commissions are not expected to exceed those customary in the types of
transactions involved.
We cannot estimate at the present time the amount of commissions or
discounts, if any, that will be paid by the selling shareholders in connection
with the sales of the shares.
The selling shareholders and any broker-dealers or agents that participate
with the selling shareholders in sales of the shares may be deemed to be
"underwriters" within the meaning of the Securities Act in connection with such
sales. In that event, any commissions received by the broker-dealers or agents
and any profit on the resale of the shares purchased by them may be deemed to be
underwriting commissions or discounts under the Securities Act.
Under the securities laws of certain states, the shares may be sold in
those states only through registered or licensed broker-dealers. In addition,
the shares may not be sold unless the shares have been registered or qualified
for sale in the relevant state or unless the shares qualify for an exemption
from registration or qualification.
We have agreed to pay all fees and expenses incident to the registration
of the shares, including certain fees and disbursements of counsel to the
selling shareholders. We have agreed to indemnify the selling shareholders
against certain losses, claims, damages and liabilities, including liabilities
under the Securities Act.
Certain of the selling shareholders have also agreed to indemnify us and
our directors, officers, agents and representatives against certain liabilities,
including certain liabilities under the Securities Act.
The selling shareholders and other persons participating in the
distribution of the shares offered under this prospectus are subject to the
applicable requirements of Regulation M promulgated under the Exchange Act in
connection with sales of the shares.

DISCLOSURE OF COMMISSION POSITION ON INDEMNIFICATION
FOR SECURITIES ACT LIABILITIES
Our amended and restated certificate of incorporation generally provides
for indemnification of each director, employee or agent as long as these
individuals acted in good faith and in a manner he or she believed to be in or
not opposed to our best interest and had no reasonable cause to believe that
such conduct was unlawful.
The SEC is of the opinion that indemnification of directors, officers and
controlling persons for liabilities arising under the Securities Act is against
public policy and is, therefore, unenforceable.
LEGAL MATTERS
The legality of the securities offered by this prospectus will be passed
upon by Broad and Cassel, a partnership including professional associations,
Miami, Florida.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT
To the Board of Directors
Intraco Systems, Inc.
We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of Intraco Systems, Inc., as of
December 31, 1999 and 1998, the related statements of operations, changes in
stockholders' deficit and cash flows for the years then ended. These financial
statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our
responsibility is to express an opinion on the financial statements based on our
audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we 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.
We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in
all material respects, the financial position of Intraco Systems, Inc., as of
December 31, 1999 and 1998, and the results of its operations and its cash flows
for the years then ended in conformity with generally accepted accounting
principles.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
NOTE 1 - ORGANIZATION AND DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS
Intraco Systems, Inc. (the "Company") was incorporated in Florida in March 1990.
In April, 1999, CTE, a public shell, acquired all of the outstanding common
stock of the Company. For accounting purposes, the acquisition has been treated
as an acquisition of CTE by the Company and as a recapitalization of the
Company. As a result of the recapitalization, the Company is now a Nevada
Corporation. Intraco is a Communications Solution Provider, offering the
integration of voice, data and Internet based technology solutions to a wide
range of customers. Intraco offers complementary information technology
solutions to clients on a local and regional basis. Intraco's targeted customers
include small and mid-size companies in a wide range of industries including
communications, healthcare, financial services, manufacturing, professional
services and technology.
NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
CASH EQUIVALENTS
The Company considers all highly-liquid debt instruments with original
maturities of three months or less to be cash equivalents.
PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT
Property and equipment is recorded at cost and is depreciated using the
straight-line method over their estimated useful lives.
ADVERTISING COSTS
Advertising costs, which are principally included in general and administrative
expenses, are expensed as incurred. Advertising expense was $16,231 and $10,742
for the years ended December 31, 1999 and 1998, respectively.
USE OF ESTIMATES
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with general accepted
accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that
affect certain reported amounts and disclosures. Accordingly, actual results
could differ from those estimates.
REVENUE RECOGNITION
Generally, revenues from sales of products are recognized when products are
shipped unless the Company has obligations remaining under a sales or licensing
agreement, in which case revenue is either deferred until all obligations are
satisfied or recognized ratably over the term of the contract. Revenues from
maintenance contracts are recognized ratably over the life of the contract,
usually one year. Deferred income on maintenance contracts at 1999 and 1998 was
$165,494 and $152,174, respectively. Revenues from sales of maintenance
contracts in 1999 and 1998 were $379,728 and $1,456,107, respectively.
INVENTORY
Inventory consists primarily of computer equipment purchased for resale, and is
stated at the lower of cost or market, with cost determined on the first-in,
first-out (FIFO) method.
AMORTIZATION OF GOODWILL
Goodwill represents the amount by which the purchase price of a business
acquired exceeds the fair market value of the net assets acquired under the
purchase method of accounting. Goodwill is being amortized on a straight-line
basis over 15 years. Accumulated amortization at December 31, 1999 is $1,125.
The Company assesses whether its goodwill and other intangible assets are
impaired as required by SFAS No. 121, "Accounting for the Impairment of
Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed of" based on an
evaluation of undiscounted projected cash flows through the remaining
amortization period. If an impairment exists, the amount of such impairment is
calculated based on the estimated fair value of the asset.

NOTE 8 - CONCENTRATION OF CREDIT RISK
The Company maintains its cash bank deposits at various financial institutions.
Accounts at these institutions are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance
Corporation up to $100,000 and the balances, at times, may exceed federally
insured limits. At December 31, 1999 the balance exceeding this limit was
approximately $147,000. At December 31, 1998, the Company's cash balance did not
exceed the insured limit. The Company routinely assesses the financial strength
of its customers, and, as a consequence, believes its trade accounts receivable
exposure is limited.
NOTE 9 - MAJOR CUSTOMERS
Sales to one customer in 1999 represented approximately 38% of total sales, and
sales to another customer represented approximately 29% of total sales in 1998.
NOTE 10 - STOCKHOLDERS' DEFICIT AND STOCK OPTION PLAN
In August and in November 1998, the Company amended and restated its Articles of
Incorporation to increase the aggregate number of authorized shares to
60,000,000, consisting of 50,000,000 shares of common stock, par value $.001 per
share and 10,000,000 shares of preferred stock, par value $.001 per share.
In November 1998, the Company commenced a Regulation D 504 stock offering, and,
as a result of the offering, the Company issued 665,200 shares of common stock
for $166,300, or $0.25 per share. Also in November of 1998, the Company began an
offering of its Seriea A preferred stock and as a result of the offering, the
Company issued 767,400 shares of Series A preferred stock of which $187,000 were
issued under Regulation D 506 and $580,400 under Regulation S at $1.00 per
share. Costs incurred associated with these offerings totaled $212,000.
Holders have the right to convert the Series A preferred stock, in whole or in
part, at any time or from time to time, into the common stock, par value $.001,
of the Company. The initial conversion rate is one-to-one and is subject to
adjustment in certain circumstances.
In October 1999, the Company began a Series B preferred stock offering, and, as
a result of the offering, the Company issued 989,400 shares under Regulation S
of preferred stock, for a total of $989,000. Holders have the right to convert
the Series B preferred stock, in whole or in part, at any time, or from time to
time, into the common stock, par value $.001, of the Company. The initial
conversion rate is one-to-one and is subject to adjustment in certain
circumstances. The shares of Series B preferred stock are subject to redemption,
in whole or in part, at any time and from time to time, at the option of the
Company, at the stated preference value per share.
In March 1999, the Company sold 866,300 shares of $.001 par value common stock
to an investment company at $1.00 per share in exchange for an interest-bearing
note. At December 31, 1999, $446,300 of this note remained outstanding.

NOTE 10 - STOCKHOLDERS' DEFICIT AND STOCK OPTION PLAN, CONTINUED
STOCK OPTION PLAN
Under the Company's stock option plan, 10,000,000 shares of common stock were
reserved for issuance upon exercise of options granted to directors, officers
and employees of the Company. Options issued through December 31, 1999 carry
exercise prices equal to that of the fair market value on the date of the grant.
The options vest immediately or equally over a period of one to three years
following the date of grant and the unexercised portion of the options expires
and ceases to be exercisable on the earlier of the tenth year after the date of
the grant or specified date following termination of employment.
The Company has elected to account for the stock options under Accounting
Principles Board Opinion No. 25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees," and
related interpretations. Accordingly, no compensation expense has been
recognized on the stock options.
Had compensation expense for the stock option plan been determined based on the
fair value of the options at the grant date consistent with the methodology
prescribed under Statement of Financial Standards No. 123, "Accounting for Stock
Based Compensation," the Company's 1999 and 1998 net loss would have increased
by $1,539,000 and $6,500, respectively. The fair value of each option is
estimated on the date of grant using fair market option pricing model with the
assumption:
Risk-free interest rate 6%
Expected life (years) 10
Expected volatility n/a
Expected dividends None
Weighed average remaining contractual life 9.5 years
A summary of option transactions during the years ended December 31, 1999 and
1998, is shown below:
Weighted Average
Number of Exercise Price
Options Price Per Share Per Option
---------- ------------- ----------
Outstanding at December 31, 1998 815,000 $ 0.25 $ 0.25

Exercised - - -
Forfeited - - -
---------- ------------- ----------
Outstanding at December 31, 1999 7,604,800 $ .25 to 2.18 $ 0.84
========== ============= ==========
For purposes of the pro forma disclosures, the estimated fair value of the
options is amortized to expense over the option's vesting period. The effect of
Statement No. 123 resulted in a pro forma net loss of $2,977,895 and $86,695 for
the years ended December 31, 1999 and 1998 respectively. In addition, the pro
forma net loss per share was $.25 and $.01 per share for the years ended
December 31, 1999 and 1998, respectively.
WARRANTS
In April 1999, the Company granted 150,000 warrants to Vestar Capital
Corporation, a company controlled by a minority shareholder, as part of a
consulting agreement. Compensation expense for the warrants has been determined
based on the fair value of the options at the grant date consistent with the
methodology prescribed under Statement of Financial Standards No. 123,
"Accounting for Stock Based Compensation". Compensation expense of $27,000,
which is equal to the estimated fair market value of the warrants, was recorded
in 1999. The fair value of each option is estimated on the date of grant using
fair market option pricing model with the assumptions as stated above.

NOTE 12 - ACQUISITIONS
On June 7, 1999, the Company acquired the assets of Page Telecomputing. As
consideration, the Company issued 60,000 shares of its $.001 par value common
stock. The total value of the stock issued was $90,000. The acquisition was
accounted for using the purchase method of accounting. The results of operations
are included in the financial statements of operations from the date of
acquisition. The excess of the cost over the purchase price resulted in goodwill
of $83,910, which is being amortized over 15 years using the straight-line
method. The Company believes that the products and the intangible purchased will
be generating revenue for at least 15 years. The estimated fair market value of
the net assets acquired was $6,090.

NOTE 13 - MANAGEMENT'S PLAN
As shown in the accompanying financial statements, the Company incurred a net
loss of $1,438,895 during the year ended December 31, 1999, and $80,195 for the
year ended December 31, 1998. The Company's current liabilities exceeded its
current assets by $540,505 and $707,141, respectively. The ability of the
Company to continue as a going concern is dependent on increasing sales and
obtaining additional capital and financing. The financial statements do not
include any adjustments that might be necessary if the Company is unable to
continue as a going concern.
Management's plan to increase sales and obtain additional capital includes
several specific actions. On the sales side, greater emphasis will be placed on
emerging technologies such as speech-to-text, voice recognition, ASP services,
and web development as these areas have higher profit margins and represent a
market which is growing much more rapidly than the Company's traditional
services. In the last quarter of 1999 and the first quarter of 2000 several
employees, were added, which are expected to have a significant effect on sales.
For capital sourcing, management will continue the private placement offerings
of common and preferred stock, which during the period from January 1, 2000
through March 16, 2000 have raised approximately $4,400,000.
No estimate has been made should management's plan be unsuccessful.
NOTE 14 - LITIGATION
The Company is party from time to time to various legal proceedings. None of
these proceedings are expected to have a material impact on its financial
position or results of operations.
NOTE 15 - SHARE EXCHANGE
In April 1999, CTE, an inactive public company, acquired all of the outstanding
common stock of the Company. For accounting purposes, the acquisition has been
treated as an acquisition of CTE by the Company and as a recapitalization of the
Company. The exchange ratio of common shares was one-for-one. The estimated fair
market value of the net assets acquired was $1,005. Costs associated with this
recapitalization totaled $283,153. As a result of the recapitalization, the
Company is now authorized to issue 100,000,000 shares of common stock. Following
the share exchange, the former stockholders of CTE owned 2,429,489 shares of
common stock of the Company.

NOTE 3 - STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY
In April 1999, CTE, an inactive public company, acquired all of the outstanding
common stock of the Company. For accounting purposes, the acquisition has been
treated as an acquisition of CTE by the Company and as a recapitalization of the
company. The exchange ratio of common shares was one-for-one. The estimated fair
market value of the net assets acquired was $1,005. As a result of the
recapitalization, the Company is now authorized to issue 100,000,000 shares of
common stock.
In March 2000, the Company sold approximately 160,000 shares of $0.001 par
value common stock to an investor at a cost of $1.25 per share with 30,000
warrants exercisable at $0.75 per warrant. The Company sold approximately
3,475,000 units for $1.50 per unit; each unit consists of one share of common
stock and one warrant exercisable at $1.50 per warrant. Fees associated with the
offerings consisted of cash, warrants, and common stock. The warrants were
issued to the outside investors and considered a cost of raising capital.

* Filed herewith
(1) Incorporated by reference from the registrant's Registration Statement on
Form 10-SB filed on August 18, 1999.
(2) Filed with Amendment No. 1 to this Registration Statement, File No.
333-44268.
(3) Incorporated by reference from the registrant's Annual Report on Form

ITEM 28. UNDERTAKINGS.
(a) RULE 415 OFFERING. The undersigned company hereby undertakes:
(1) To file, during any period in which offers or sales of securities are
being made, a post-effective amendment to this registration statement to: (i)
include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act of
1933 (the "Securities Act"); (ii) reflect in the prospectus any facts or events
which, individually or together, represent a fundamental change in the
information set forth in the registration statement; and (iii) include any
additional or changed material information on the plan of distribution.
(2) For determining liability under the Securities Act, to treat each
post-effective amendment as a new registration statement relating to the
securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time
shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
(3) To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any
of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the
offering.
(b) ACCELERATION OF EFFECTIVE DATE. Insofar as indemnification for
liabilities arising under the Securities Act, may be permitted to directors,
officers or persons controlling the Registrant pursuant to the foregoing
provisions, or otherwise, the Registrant has been advised that in the opinion of
the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public
policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In
the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than
the payment by the Registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director,
officer or controlling person of the Registrant in the successful defense of any
action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling
person in connection with the securities being registered, the Registrant will,
unless
II-5
<PAGE>
in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling
precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether
such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the
Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
(c) TRANSACTIONS WITH OR BY SELLING SECURITY HOLDERS. The undersigned
registrant hereby undertakes to file a post-effective amendment to this
Registration Statement in the event that there is a change in the plans,
proposals, agreements, arrangements or understandings, if any, with respect to
transactions with or by selling security holders.
