PROSPECTUS
                        GREAT XPECTATIONS MARKETING, INC.

                7,268,490 SHARES OF $0.001 PAR VALUE COMMON STOCK

                     --------------------------------------

OWNERSHIP OF COMMON STOCK OF THE COMPANY INVOLVES A HIGH DEGREE OF RISK. SEE
"RISK FACTORS" FOR A DISCUSSION OF PARTICULAR INVESTMENT RISKS.

THESE SECURITIES HAVE NOT BEEN APPROVED OR DISAPPROVED BY THE U.S. SECURITIES
AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION NOR HAS THE COMMISSION PASSED UPON THE ACCURACY OR
ADEQUACY OF THIS PROSPECTUS. ANY REPRESENTATION TO THE CONTRARY IS A CRIMINAL
OFFENSE.

                        --------------------------------

         This Prospectus relates to the distribution by GlobeNet International
I, Inc., a Delaware corporation, "GlobeNet herein, of 6,768,490 shares of the
$0.001 par value Common Stock of Great Xpectations Marketing, Inc., a Nevada
corporation, the "Company" herein, as a dividend to the holders of record of
GlobeNet Common Stock on June 5, 1998. The 6,768,490 shares of the Company
constitute all of the presently issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock of
the Company. The Board of Directors of GlobeNet determined that spinning-off the
stock of the Company to the stockholders of GlobeNet would be in the best
interest of GlobeNet's stockholders. This spin-off will give the holders of
GlobeNet Common Stock an equity position in two publicly held companies that
engage in the business of direct marketing and sales of products.

         Under the laws of the State of Delaware, the state of incorporation of
GlobeNet, the distribution of the 6,768,490 shares of the Common Stock of the
Company will be a dividend out of earned surplus equal to $6,768.49, or $0.001
per share, the par value of such Common Stock.

         Certificates evidencing 6,768,490 shares of the Common Stock of the
Company will be distributed by mail within a reasonable time after the date of
this Prospectus on the basis of 1 share of the Company's Common Stock for each 2
shares of the outstanding Common Stock of GlobeNet. Holders of GlobeNet Common
Stock will not be charged or assessed for the stock of the Company distributed
to them as a dividend, and neither the Company nor GlobeNet will receive any
proceeds from the dividend distribution.

         There is no market for the Common Stock of the Company, and there is no
assurance that a market will ever develop. As of September 30, 1998, the Company
had assets of $541,973 and liabilities of $232,946. The Common Stock has no
ascertainable value and has a book value of $0.001 per share.

         Clinton H. Howard, the President and Chairman of the Board of GlobeNet,
owns 53.67% of the issued and outstanding common stock of GlobeNet (if 115,266
shares of GlobeNet stock owned by Mr. Howard's wife are counted). As a result,
following the distribution of the Common Stock of the Company to the GlobeNet
stockholders, Mr. Howard will control a majority of the Company's Common Stock.
However, Mr. Howard has represented that he has no intention of actively
participating in the management of the Company and does not plan to be an
officer or director of the Company. Further, Mr. Howard has represented that he
plans to donate a significant portion of his stock in the Company to charity and
liquidate the balance over time. Certain other officers and directors of
GlobeNet own stock in GlobeNet, and among them (Mr. Howard and all other
officers and directors of GlobeNet) they own 57.8% of the issued and outstanding
stock of GlobeNet and will, therefore, receive collectively approximately 57.8%,
or 3,912,187 shares, of the Common Stock of the Company distributed by GlobeNet
as a dividend by virtue of such stock ownership. Those persons may be deemed
underwriters of such shares in connection with the dividend distribution and any
sale of their shares of the Company so received by them in the dividend
distribution shall be made only through licensed securities dealers and will be
accompanied by a copy of this Prospectus.

         GlobeNet is bearing all of the expense of the registration and
distribution of the Company's Common Stock, which is estimated to be
approximately $50,000. No underwriting arrangements have been made with respect
to the proposed distribution transaction to the knowledge of the Company.
Nevertheless, GlobeNet and the two officers of the Company may be deemed to be
underwriters of such securities as that term is used in used in Section 2(11) of
the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, in connection with the distribution of

                              SUMMARY OF PROSPECTUS

THE COMPANY

         The Company was incorporated in Texas on April 10, 1995, and
reincorporated in Nevada on December 31, 1998. At the time of its formation, the
main business of the Company was to provide marketing services for direct
marketing companies, and soon most of the Company's business was related to
Mighty Power U.S.A., Inc. On March 31, 1997, to be effective as of April 1,
1997, the Company purchased the assets and certain liabilities of Health Thru
Nature, Inc., a Texas corporation, and Mighty Power USA, L.C., a Texas limited
liability company. The acquisition of the assets of these two entities made the
Company a more complete direct marketing service organization.

         Simultaneously with the Company's purchase of the assets of Heath Thru
Nature, Inc. and Mighty Power USA, L.C., (i) all of the issued and outstanding
stock of the Company was acquired by Mighty Power U.S.A., Inc. (GlobeNet's
predecessor in interest), and (ii) GlobeNet Inc., a Texas corporation, merged
into Mighty Power U.S.A., Inc. Following the merger, Mighty Power U.S.A., Inc.
changed its name to GlobeNet International I, Inc.

         While the Company was (and is) a wholly owned subsidiary of GlobeNet,
the Company has always operated independently from its parent. The Company is
currently engaged in the business of direct marketing and sales of (i) a line of
17 products which are nutritional supplements and automobile and home care
products and (ii) service products in the United States through a network of
independent distributors. Historically, the nutritional products have accounted
for over 90% of the Company's sales, but it is anticipated that the service
products will become a significant portion of the Company's total sales in the
future. The Company has over 2,500 members in its direct marketing network (as
of September 30, 1998) which are located in the United States.

OFFICES

         The Company offices are presently located at 9202 West Royal Lane,
Irving Texas 75063, where the Company leases approximately 15,000 square feet of
office/warehouse space at a rental


                                        7

rate of $6,000 per month. The Company's office lease expires on January 31,
1999. Due to a lack of needed property management services, the Company has
chosen not to renew its present lease. The Company is currently searching for
similar lease space, but somewhat smaller in size, in the same general area. The
Company does not manufacture any of the products that it sells, and it does not
have or need manufacturing facilities as it buys its products (custom designed
and manufactured) from a third party manufacturer.

DIRECT MARKETING NETWORK

         Until recently, the Company and its distributor network focused the
majority of their marketing efforts on consumable products such as vitamins and
dietary supplements, skin creams, and automobile and home care (cleaning)
products. However, sales of these products have to be continually "resold" and
are traditionally cyclical in nature, with very little sales being made in the
months of August, December, and January.

         Because of the cyclical nature of its product sales and the difficulty
in maintaining consistent monthly sales, in March 1998, the Company's management
made arrangements for its distributor network to begin marketing service
products such as Internet access service, long distance telephone service, and a
family benefit package in the latter portion of 1998. These service products,
once subscribed to by a customer, are not cyclical in nature and represent a
more stable source of cash flow for the Company and its distributor network. The
Company's distributor network began selling the service products as of December
1, 1998, and the results were better than expected. As a result of these service
product sales, the Company is starting to receive stable, reliable cash flow,
and it is anticipated that the service product income will continue to increase
at a rapid rate.

DISTRIBUTION OF SECURITIES OF THE COMPANY

         The Company presently has outstanding 6,768,490 shares of Common Stock,
$0.001 par value (the "Common Stock"), which are held by GlobeNet. Thus, the
Company is currently a wholly-owned subsidiary of GlobeNet. (See "Information
Concerning GlobeNet".) Pursuant to this Prospectus, GlobeNet will distribute
such shares of Common Stock to GlobeNet stockholders as a dividend. Thereafter,
the Company will no longer be a subsidiary of GlobeNet and will be owned by the
persons and entities who were stockholders of record of GlobeNet as of June 5,
1998. On June 5, 1998, there were approximately 487 shareholders of record of
GlobeNet; therefore, the Company will have approximately 487 shareholders after
such distribution. Neither the Company nor GlobeNet will receive any proceeds
from the dividend distribution. (See "Distribution of Securities of the
Company".)

         Certificates evidencing 6,768,490 shares of the Company will be
distributed to GlobeNet's stockholders of record as of June 5, 1998, by mail
within ten (10) business days after the date of this Prospectus on the basis of
l share of Company Common Stock for each 2 shares of GlobeNet Common Stock. (See
"Distribution of Securities of the Company".)

INCOME TAX RAMIFICATIONS

         The distribution (spin-off) of the Company's Common Stock to the
GlobeNet stockholders will constitute a dividend that is taxable to such
stockholders as ordinary income to the extent that GlobeNet has retained
earnings at the end of 1998. Under the applicable provisions of the General
Corporation Law of Delaware, GlobeNet's state of incorporation, the planned
distribution of Common Stock to GlobeNet's stockholders will constitute a
dividend to the extent of the par value of the Company's Common Stock, which is
$0.001 per share. This means that each stockholder of GlobeNet will recognize
his pro rata share of an aggregate $6,768.49 dividend distribution (6,768,490
shares of Common Stock x $0.001). If the aggregate par value of the Common Stock
($6,768.49) exceeds GlobeNet's retained earnings, the excess over retained
earnings will not be included in the taxable income of the GlobeNet
stockholders, but will reduce their basis in the Company's Common Stock that
they receive (but not below zero).

         Since there is not currently an active trading market for the Company's
Common Stock nor is there a readily ascertainable market value, the Company's
position is that on the date of the distribution of the Common Stock to the
GlobeNet stockholders, it will have a value of $0.001 for purposes of the
distribution.

         For further information regarding the federal income tax consequences
of the dividend distribution, see "Federal Income Taxes".

USE OF PROCEEDS

         Neither the Company nor GlobeNet will receive any proceeds from the
dividend distribution.

MANAGEMENT

         The directors and the senior officers of the Company are Forrest E.
Watson, Ed.D. and Everett Sparks. Dr. Watson is also a director of GlobeNet at
the present time, but plans to resign as a director of GlobeNet immediately
following the approval of this Prospectus. (See "Management of the Company"
herein.)

</TABLE>


                                   THE COMPANY

            The Company was incorporated under the laws of the State of Texas on
April 10, 1995, with 100,000 shares of $0.01 par value Common Stock authorized.
The Company was reincorporated in the State of Nevada on December 31, 1998, with
50,000,000 shares of $0.001 par value Common Stock authorized and 20,000,000
shares of $0.001 par value Preferred Stock authorized. The Company is currently
engaged in the business of direct marketing and sales of (i) a line of 17
products which are nutritional supplements and automobile and home care products
and (ii) service products. The costs of this distribution are estimated at
$50,000.00 (organizational costs, accounting and attorneys' fees and other costs
associated with the distribution of the Company's Common Stock) and are being
paid by GlobeNet. The Company's offices are located at 9202 West Royal Lane,
Irving, Texas 75063, and its telephone number is (972) 929-2900.

            In 1997, the Company crossed a critical period in its operations by
surviving loss of a large number of its sales associates. Unfortunately, the
Company's distributor network was raided and approximately 60% of the leadership
members in the network were lost, along with many of the leaders' down line
network personnel. Prior to the raid, the Company had more than 5,000
distributors. Following this loss of distributors, sales were sufficient to
cover all cash expenses, but certain accruals (such as additional compensation
to officers) has not yet been paid. From the low ebb of 2,000 distributors at
the beginning of 1998, the Company had recovered to a level of more than 2,800
distributors as of September 30, 1998.



                                       10

<PAGE>   11

            At the end of 1997, the Company addressed several issues that they
believed would help them recruit and retain sales associates. The most
significant of these were (a) the decision to add new products to its product
line, and (b) the decision to provide a greater support base for sales
associates. Since March 1998, more effort and resources of the Company have gone
to the development and acquisition of service products (that can be marketed by
the Company's distributor network) than was given to sales of consumable
products and recruitment of distributors. As a result, overall sales did not
increase as rapidly as one would like. However, on December 1, 1998, the
Company's distribution network began selling the following service products: (a)
Internet access service; (b) long distance telephone service; and (c) a family
benefit package. The amount of sales of the service products were greater than
expected by the Company's management, and it is anticipated that at some point
the sale of service products will be the largest source of revenue for the
Company.

            The new products have given the Company's sales associates the
ability to sell additional products to their existing customer base as well as
provided new ways to gain introductions to potential customers and potential
sales associates. The greater support now being given provides the sales
associates with a greater feeling of comfort, knowing that their support needs
and requirements will be met, without question, by the Company's corporate
office staff. The initial results have shown that these adjustments/changes are
working well. Sales for the first nine months of 1998, ending on September 30,
1998, are down 21.9% over the same period for 1997, but the Company believes
that this decline in sales was brought on by the Company focusing the majority
of its efforts on the development and acquisition of service products that
generate stable cash flow (not traditional direct marketing cyclical cash flow)
during most of 1998, as sales have increased at a rapid rate during the month of
December 1998. The Company believes that the new focus on service products, in
conjunction with sales of existing product lines, will result in a net profit
for the calendar year 1999.


OWNERSHIP OF THE COMPANY'S COMMON STOCK INVOLVES A HIGH DEGREE OF RISK DUE TO
CERTAIN FACTORS WHICH CREATE UNCERTAINTY AS THE COMPANY'S ABILITY TO MAINTAIN
VIABLE OPERATIONS WITHOUT OBTAINING ADDITIONAL OPERATING CAPITAL OR OTHER
FINANCIAL RESOURCES. PRIOR TO INVESTING IN THE COMPANY'S COMMON STOCK, INVESTORS
SHOULD CAREFULLY CONSIDER AND EVALUATE THE MATTERS DISCUSSED BELOW IN "RISK
FACTORS" WHICH MAKE THE COMPANY'S COMMON STOCK A HIGHLY SPECULATIVE INVESTMENT.


                                  RISK FACTORS

         The Common Stock of the Company should be considered an investment
involving a high degree of risk. Factors which holders and prospective
purchasers of Common Stock should weigh carefully include the following:

         1. POTENTIAL INADEQUACY OF CAPITAL. As of September 30, 1998, the
Company only has $85,481 cash available for operating funds. This sum may very
well be inadequate for all product



                                       11

<PAGE>   12



purchases and payroll requirements that the Company will encounter in the
conduction of its business following the spin-off of the Company from GlobeNet.
Further, if GlobeNet was not paying for all of the expenses incident to the
registration and distribution of the Company's Common Stock as set forth in this
Prospectus, and said expenses were the responsibility of the Company, it would
harm the Company as it would further deplete an already low level of operating
funds. Additionally, the Company will now have to bear all of its operational
expenses such as accounting fees and legal fees which are currently being borne
by GlobeNet. Further, following the spin-off, the Company will be required to
operate on its own as a fully reporting public company and pay all of the
additional accounting and legal fees specifically associated with being a fully
reporting public company.

         In order to be truly viable, the Company will have to obtain additional
working capital in the form of a substantial line of credit loan or equity
infusion, and increase its sales markedly. There are no assurances that
additional capital would be available or, if available, could be obtained
without the issuance of additional equity securities with a resultant dilution
in the equity of the holders of Common Stock, or that financing could be
arranged, if at all, on terms favorable to the Company. Further, there is no
assurance that the Company will be able to increase its sales volume to the
extent needed to maintain viable operations.

         2. DEPENDENCE ON OFFICERS AND DIRECTORS. The Company will be
substantially dependent upon the experience and knowledge of its two principal
officers and directors, Forrest E. Watson, Ed.D. and Everett Sparks. The loss to
the Company of either or both of such persons could be expected to be
detrimental to the Company. The Company has entered into written employment
agreements with Dr. Watson (who will serve as the Company's President and
Treasurer) and Mr. Sparks (who will serve as the Company's Vice President and
Chief Financial Officer and Secretary) for the calendar year 1999. Under the
terms of the Employment Agreements, Dr. Watson and Mr. Sparks will act in the
above-stated capacities without cash compensation until the Company is
profitable. (See "Remuneration" and "Stock Bonus Plan" under "Management of the
Company" and "Certain Transactions" herein.)

         3. ABSENCE OF TRADING MARKET FOR THE COMMON STOCK. No market for
trading the Common Stock currently exists and there is no assurance that a
market ever will develop or, should such ever be established, that it will be
maintained. The Common Stock does not now, and may never, qualify for listing on
any securities exchange. In the absence of an over-the-counter market in the
Company's Common Stock, or listing on an exchange, holders of the Common Stock
will be unable to sell their securities through usual and customary stock
brokerage channels and may be unable to determine the value of their securities.

         4. RESTRICTIONS ON SALES OF COMMON STOCK OF THE COMPANY BY AFFILIATES.
Persons who are deemed "affiliates" of the Company under the rules and
regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission may not sell their shares
of Common Stock of the Company otherwise than in accordance with all of the
requirements of Rule 144 of the General Rules of the Securities and Exchange
Commission, as promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. Said
Rule 144 restricts the time, amount, and manner in which affiliates may sell
their Common Stock. Both Dr. Watson and Mr. Sparks are affiliates of the
Company. Additionally, due to his ownership of 53.67% of the Common Stock,
Clinton H. Howard is considered to be an affiliate of the Company, and he
will be in a position to control the Company and its management.



                                       12

<PAGE>   13

         5. MARKETING NETWORK. In 1997, the Company lost approximately 50% of
its distribution network to its competitors (the number of distributors went
from 5,204 to 2,720). This loss weakened the Company financially by reducing its
income. The loss of these distributors further damaged the Company financially
by requiring it to incur additional expenses necessary to rebuild its
distributor network. The Company was only able to meet all of its cash needs in
1997 by deferring officers' salaries, and there is no certainty that the
Company's income will be sufficient to cover all of its operating costs and
rebuild its distributor network. Further, while none is currently anticipated,
as with any network marketing business, the Company may suffer another loss of a
significant portion of its distribution network in the future.

         6. ADDITIONAL COSTS OF PUBLIC COMPANY. The Company will be faced with
the responsibility of paying for all of the additional accounting and legal fees
and management expense specifically associated with being a fully reporting
public company.


                    DISTRIBUTION OF SECURITIES OF THE COMPANY

BACKGROUND AND REASONS FOR DISTRIBUTION

         The Board of Directors of GlobeNet decided to spin-off the stock of the
Company to the stockholders of GlobeNet for the purpose of benefitting its
stockholders. The Board of Directors of GlobeNet and the management of the
Company believe that GlobeNet and the Company will be more effective as separate
entities in attracting new distributors and promoting sales of their respective
products. If the Company prove to be successful, the stockholders of GlobeNet
will have an equity interest in two publicly held direct marketing companies.

METHOD OF DISTRIBUTION AND SUBSEQUENT TRADING

         Certificates representing the 6,768,490 shares of the Company's Common
Stock will be distributed by mail within ten (10) business days after the date
of this Prospectus to holders of GlobeNet Common Stock of record on June 5,
1998. On that date, GlobeNet had slightly less than 500 stockholders of record.
Therefore, the Company will have the same number of stockholders of record after
the distribution. The dividend will be distributed on the basis of 1 share of
Common Stock of the Company for each 2 shares of the Common Stock of GlobeNet.
No exchange of shares, payment, or other action by holders of GlobeNet Common
Stock will be required. Common Stock of the Company will be distributed to the
nearest number of whole shares (rounding up). No fractional shares will be
issued.

         A copy of this Prospectus will be mailed to each GlobeNet stockholder
of record as of June 5, 1998. Copies of this Prospectus will also be mailed to
brokers and dealers who are known to trade or make a market in the Common Stock
of GlobeNet and to other brokers and dealers who may reasonably be expected to
trade or make a market in the Common Stock of the Company. However, the Company
does not anticipate that an active market for the Common Stock will develop
within



                                       13

<PAGE>   14



the foreseeable future. The likelihood of the Company's Common Stock being
traded in any particular market cannot be predicted. In the absence of an active
trading market, the Company's stock will be a relatively illiquid investment.
GlobeNet does not intend to make a market in the Company's Common Stock after
the distribution.


                                    DIVIDENDS

         The Company has not paid any cash dividends on its Common Stock and
does not anticipate paying any such dividends in the foreseeable future.


                              FEDERAL INCOME TAXES

         GlobeNet will report the distribution of the Company's Common Stock as
a distribution subject to the provisions of Section 301 of the United States
Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"). GlobeNet will recognize
gain as a result of the distribution to the extent the fair market value of the
Common Stock exceeds the adjusted basis of such Common Stock in the hands of
GlobeNet. GlobeNet will recognize no loss as a result of the distribution.

DIVIDENDS TAXED AS ORDINARY INCOME

         In the opinion of T. Alan Owen & Associates, P.C., counsel to GlobeNet,
holders of GlobeNet Common Stock will be taxed on the dividend distribution as
ordinary income to the extent of GlobeNet's current and accumulated earnings and
profits, computed as of the close of the tax year during which the distribution
occurs. A portion of the distribution, if any, which exceeds a GlobeNet's
current and accumulated earnings and profits will reduce a stockholder's
adjusted basis in his GlobeNet Common Stock, but not below zero. To the extent
of any such reduction in basis, the distribution would not be currently taxable.
If the amount of the distribution would have the effect of reducing a
stockholder's adjusted basis in his GlobeNet Common Stock below zero, the excess
will be treated as a gain from the sale or exchange of property. If the GlobeNet
Common Stock is a capital asset in the hands of the stockholder, the gain will
be a capital, either long-term or short-term, depending on whether the
stockholder has held his GlobeNet Common Stock for more than six months.

         Non-corporate stock owners will be treated as having received a
distribution equal to the fair market value at the date of the distribution of
the Common Stock they receive. Corporate stock owners will generally be treated
as having received a distribution in an amount equal to the lesser of (i)
GlobeNet's adjusted basis in the Common Stock immediately prior to the
distribution (which will be approximately $0.001 per share), increased by the
amount of any gain recognized by GlobeNet on the distribution, or (ii) the fair
market value of the Common Stock on the date of the distribution. However,
corporate stockholders may be entitled to the dividends-received deduction,
which would generally allow them a deduction, subject to certain limitations,
from their gross income of 80 percent of the amount of the dividend.

         A non-corporate stockholder's tax basis in the Common Stock will equal
the fair market value of the Common Stock on the date of the distribution and a
corporate stockholder's tax basis in the Common Stock will generally equal the
lesser of the fair market value of the Common Stock on the date of the
distribution or the adjusted basis of the Common Stock in the hands of GlobeNet
immediately prior to the distribution, increased in the amount of any gain
recognized to GlobeNet on the distribution.

         The holding period of a corporate stockholder of GlobeNet will commence
on the date of the distribution. If gain is recognized on the distribution by
GlobeNet, as will be the case if the fair market value of the Common Stock
distributed exceeds it suggests basis, a corporate stockholder's holding period
will begin on the date of the distribution.

         If gain is not recognized by GlobeNet on the distribution and the basis
of the Common Stock in the hands of the corporate stockholder is determined
under code section 301(d)(2)(B), then (except for gain from certain sales or
exchanges of stock in foreign corporations) such corporate stockholder will not
be treated as holding the Common Stock distributed during any period before the
date on which such corporate stockholder's holding period in his Common Stock
began.

         In the absence of a trading market for the Common Stock, "fair market
value" is to be calculated in accordance with Internal Revenue Service Revenue
Ruling 59-60, 1959-1C.B.237, which sets forth certain factors for such a
determination (for example, the nature of the business, its history, the general
economic outlook, book value of the Company, earnings capacity, dividend paying
capacity, existence of goodwill, and recent sales of Company shares). Neither
GlobeNet nor the Company will advise the stockholders what the "fair market
value" of the Common Stock will be on the distribution date. Each stockholder
must make his own determination. GlobeNet intends to send to stockholders,
however, I.R.S. Form 1099 (DIV) which will indicate the approximation of
GlobeNet of the value of the dividend distribution.

         The preceding discussion is a general summary of current federal income
tax consequences of the dividend distribution as presently interpreted, and a
stockholder's particular tax consequences may vary depending on his individual
circumstances. Stockholders are encouraged to consult their own tax counsel
concerning the treatment of the distribution on their income tax returns.

         As a result of the Tax Reform Act of 1986, for a non-corporate
taxpayer, there will be no preferential tax treatment of long-term capital
gains. The distinction between short-term and a long-term capital gains will
still exist, but all gains will be taxed as ordinary income.

                     MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
                  FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

           While the Company is in business and is not a "development stage"
company, it only has $148,256 cash for operating funds, and, as explained in
"Risk Factors" above, this may not be sufficient working capital for the Company
to survive.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

           During the fiscal year ending on December 31, 1996, the Company
significantly increased its sales by adding approximately 1500 new distributors
to its marketing network. This caused a large growth in total sales and an
increase in inventory. In 1996, the Company had sales of $2,806,271, and had a
net loss of $215,922.

            During the fiscal year ending on December 31, 1997, the Company
experienced steep decline in sales that was caused primarily by a large number
of sales associates breaking off from the Company to form their own direct
marketing company. In 1997, the Company had sales of $1,641,068, and had a net
loss of $62,775. The loss in 1997 can be attributed to the Company taking on
sufficient fixed overhead to properly handle its 1996 sales volume and having an
unexpected, precipitous drop in total sales. However, the company reorganized
certain functions and responsibilities relating to sales and sales support.
After the drastic drop in sales occurred and leveled out, sales started to
increase slowly near the end of 1997. Although the Company was accruing certain
expenses relating to its debt and employment contracts with its two principals,
the Company covered its cash requirements for operations.

            During the first nine months of 1998, the Company's sales were
relatively level, but showed signs of increasing at the end of that period. The
rebuilding of the Company's marketing network in 1997 was starting to show some
returns in the form of increased marketing and recruiting. From January 1 to
September 30, 1998, the Company had sales of $1,043,110 and had a net
operational loss of $202,613. The Company posted a net profit of $281,328 due to
$483,941 in debt forgiveness. The Company's management believes that sales will
continue to increase in the last three months of 1998, and that it will show a
smaller (proportionately) operational loss in such period. Additionally, the
Company's management believes that the Company will report a small net profit
for 1999.

</TABLE>


            Forrest E. Watson, Ed.D. Dr. Watson has served 34 years as a
Superintendent of public school systems with responsibility for annual budgets
in excess of $75,000,000. During his years of acting as a school system
Superintendent, Dr. Watson supervised over $400,000,000 in school construction.
Dr. Watson has served as the Chairman of the Board of the Company since the date
of its formation. Also, Dr. Watson presently serves as a director of GlobeNet,
but plans to resign as a director of GlobeNet immediately following the approval
of this Prospectus.

            Everett Sparks. Mr. Sparks has worked in the financial side of the
oil and gas production and marketing industry for approximately 10 years, and a
portion of his duties were economic forecasting and the building of economic
models.

            The term of office of a director of the Company ends at the next
annual meeting of the Company's stockholders or when his successor is elected
and qualifies. The term of office of an officer of the Company ends at the
annual meeting of the Board of Directors expected to take place immediately
after the next annual meeting of the stockholders, or when his successor is
elected and qualifies.

REMUNERATION

            The Company has authorized the issuance, effective as of the date of
this Prospectus, of 225,000, 225,000, and 50,000 shares of the Company's Common
Stock to Forrest E. Watson, Ed.D., Everett Sparks, and T. Alan Owen &
Associates, P.C., respectively, pursuant to the Company's Stock Bonus Plan. Dr.
Watson and Mr. Sparks, the Company's two principal executive officers, have
agreed with the Company that they will perform their agreed upon duties for no
cash compensation from the date of this Prospectus until the Company is
profitable, and have agreed to perform such duties for the entire calendar year
of 1999 for only the Common Stock described above, if necessary. The Company has
paid no other remuneration to its officers or directors, and, except as
disclosed herein, does not anticipate the payment of other remuneration until
the Company becomes profitable in its business.

STOCK BONUS PLAN

            On December 15, 1998, the Board of Directors of the Company adopted
a Stock Bonus Plan for the purpose of employing persons to work for the Company
without cash payment for services



                                       19

<PAGE>   20



and for incentive to perform well. Under the terms of such Plan, the Board of
Directors is empowered to award Common Stock of the Company as compensation to
employees of the Company, including the officers and independent contractors.
The plan authorizes the Board of Directors to administer the Plan in its sole
discretion, but permits an award of no more than 750,000 shares of Common Stock
in any one year period. The Plan may be amended or terminated by the Board of
Directors, but such amendment or termination cannot abrogate existing rights in
the plan, and, with respect to any increase in the amount of stock to be
awarded, requires approval of a majority of the stockholders of the Company.

PRIOR EXPERIENCE OF MANAGEMENT

            The Company's President and Treasurer, Forrest E. Watson, Ed.D., has
experience in the operation of a publicly held and traded Company. Dr. Watson
acted as the Chairman of the Board of Directors and C.E.O. of Mighty Power
U.S.A., Inc. from April 1995 to March 1997, the effective date of the merger of
GlobeNet, Inc., a Texas corporation, into Mighty Power U.S.A., Inc. (GlobeNet's
predecessor in interest).

            The Company's Vice President and Secretary, Everett Sparks, has
acted as a financial consultant to various private companies, concerning their
operational and functional activities for approximately 15 years. Additionally,
Mr. Sparks has worked in the oil and gas industry as an investor and a
consultant for approximately 18 years.

INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS

            As permitted by Nevada law, the Company's bylaws provide that the
Company will indemnify its directors and officers against expense and
liabilities they incurred to defend, settle, or satisfy any civil or criminal
action brought against them on account of their being or having been Company
directors or officers unless, in any such action, they are judged to do have
acted with gross negligence or willful misconduct. Insofar as indemnification
for liabilities arising under the securities act of 1933, as amended, may be
permitted to directors, officers, or persons controlling the Company pursuant to
the foregoing provisions, the Company has been informed 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.

CERTAIN TRANSACTIONS

            On December 15,1998, the Company entered into Employment Contracts
with Forrest E. Watson, Ed.D. and Everett Sparks for a one year term, beginning
on January 1, 1999, without cash compensation. Under the terms of such
Employment Contracts, the Company agreed to include such persons under the
Company's Stock Bonus Plan and issue 225,000 shares of the Company's $0.001 par
value Common Stock to each of them immediately upon the date of this Prospectus.

            The law firm of T. Alan Owen & Associates, P.C. has received legal
fees of $5,000.00 for services rendered in connection with the preparation of
the Registration Statement of which this Prospectus forms a part and will be
paid an additional $5,000.00 upon the date of this Prospectus.



                                       20

(1)  All shares owned directly are owned beneficially and of record, and such
Stockholder has sole voting, investment, and dispositive power, unless otherwise
noted.

(2)  Includes 57,633 shares owned of record by Mr. Howard's wife.

* Clinton H. Howard, the President and Chairman of the Board of GlobeNet, owns
53.67% of the issued and outstanding common stock of GlobeNet (if 115,266 shares
of GlobeNet stock owned by Mr. Howard's wife are counted).

            As a result, following the distribution of the Common Stock of the
Company to the GlobeNet stockholders, Mr. Howard will control a majority of the
Company's Common Stock. However, Mr. Howard has represented that he has no
intention of actively participating in the management of the Company and does
not plan to be an officer or director of the Company. Further, Mr. Howard has
represented that he plans to donate a significant portion of his stock in the
Company to charity and liquidate the balance over time.


                                   LITIGATION

            The Company is currently engaged in a legal proceeding (the
"Lawsuit") that has been filed in Dallas County Court at Law No. 3, Dallas,
Texas, styled "Harry C. Liversage v. Great Xpectations Marketing, Inc. and
Mighty Power U.S.A., Inc.", Cause No. cc-98-06854-c, in which the Plaintiff is
claiming damages for alleged injuries sustained on the job and for wrongful
termination. In the opinion of the Company's attorneys, T. Alan Owen &
Associates, P.C., the Lawsuit is without merit because Texas is an employment
"at will" state and the Plaintiff's allegations of injuries are believed to be
spurious.

            Other than the Lawsuit, the Company is not engaged in any litigation
or similar proceeding, nor, to the knowledge of the Company, is any pending,
threatened, or anticipated.

                    DESCRIPTION OF SECURITIES OF THE COMPANY

COMMON STOCK

            General. The Company's authorized capital stock consists of
50,000,000 shares of Common Stock, $0.001 par value, and 20,000,000 shares of
Preferred Stock, $1.00 par value. Holders of the Common Stock are entitled to
receive such dividends as may be declared by the Board of Directors out of funds
legally available therefor. The Company has not paid any dividends on its Common
Stock and does not anticipate paying dividends for the foreseeable future. In
the event of liquidation, holders are the Common Stock are entitled to a
proportionate share of any distribution of Company assets after the payment of
liabilities. Holders of the Common Stock do not have preemptive rights. Each
share of Common Stock is entitled to one vote, and cumulative voting is not
permitted in the election of directors. All of the issued and outstanding shares
are Common Stock are, and the shares being offered hereby will be, upon
issuance, fully paid and non-assessable.

            Certain Voting Requirements. The affirmative vote of the holders of
a majority are of the shares present at a stockholders' meeting, at which a
quorum is present, generally constitutes stockholder approval or authorization
of matters for which such approval or authorization is required. A sale or
transfer of substantially all of the Company's assets, liquidation, merger,
consolidation, reorganization, or similar extraordinary corporate event
generally requires the affirmative vote of a majority of the shares issued and
entitled to vote thereon.

            Elimination or Limitation of Liability of Directors. The Company's
Articles of Incorporation contains the elimination or limitation of liability of
directors permitted by Nevada law. It provides that a director shall not be
liable to the Company or its stockholders for monetary damages for breach of
fiduciary duty as a director, but shall be liable (i) for any breach of the
director's duty of loyalty to the Company or its stockholders, (ii) for acts or
omissions not in good faith or which involve intentional misconduct or a knowing
violation of law, (iii) for approving the payment of a dividend or a stock
repurchase or redemption prohibited by the laws of the State of Nevada, and (iv)
for any transaction from which the director derived an improper personal
benefit.

            A director of a corporation organized and existing under the laws of
the State of Nevada owes such corporation and its stockholders certain fiduciary
duties. Nevada law directs that a director owes fiduciary duties to his
corporation and it stockholders to act in the best interest of such corporation
with undivided and unselfish loyalty and to use that amount of care in the
management of such corporation's business which ordinary, careful, and prudent
men would use in similar circumstances in the handling of their own affairs.
More specifically, the duty of loyalty requires a director to place the
interests of the corporation ahead of his personal or other business interests.

            The principal effect of the limitation of liability of the directors
of the Company is that stockholders will not have a cause of action for monetary
damages against a director for breach of fiduciary duty, including grossly
negligent business decisions by a director of the Company. However, such
limitation of liability provision has no effect on the availability of equitable
remedies, such as an injunction or rescission, for breach of directors fiduciary
duty.

<PAGE>   24



            IN ANY CASE, THE LIMITATION OF LIABILITY OF DIRECTORS PROVISION
CONTAINED IN THE COMPANY'S ARTICLES OF INCORPORATION WILL NOT LIMIT A DIRECTOR'S
LIABILITY FOR A VIOLATION, OR VIOLATIONS, OF FEDERAL SECURITIES LAWS.

            The directors of the Company have a personal interest in seeing the
limitation of liability of directors provisions included in the Articles of
Incorporation of the Company, at the potential expense of the Company's
stockholders. Because the Company does not intend to maintain liability
insurance covering its directors, the Company will incur a significant increase
in liability exposure, or a greater risk to the Company's assets and equity. The
potential effect of this increase in liability exposure is that the Company may
incur a monetary loss as a result of a director's violation of his duty of care
or duty of loyalty and may be unable to recoup such losses from the director.
Any loss so incurred would reduce the equity of the Company and could result in
a decline in the market value, if any, of the Common Stock held by the Company's
stockholders.

            The Company has retained Fidelity Transfer Company, 1800 SW Temple,
Suite 301, Salt Lake City, Utah 84115, as the transfer agent for the Common

                          INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT




Board of Directors
Great Xpectations Marketing, Inc.
Dallas, Texas

We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of Great Xpectations Marketing,
Inc. as of December 31, 1997, and the related statements of operations,
shareholders' equity and cash flows for the two year period then ended. These
financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our
responsibility is to express an opinion on these 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 audits 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 and schedules. An audit
also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates
made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the
financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for
our opinions.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in
all material respects, the financial position of Great Xpectations Marketing,
Inc. as of December 31, 1997 and the results of their operations and their cash
flows for the two year period ended December 31, 1997, in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles.

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the
Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 2 to the
financial statements, the Company's significant operating losses raise
substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. The
financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the
outcome of this uncertainty.

1.       HISTORY:

Effective November 1, 1995 Seven Oaks Farms, Ltd. ("Seven Oaks") merged with
Mighty Power, Inc. ("MPI") The merger, a purchase under Accounting Principles
Board Opinion 16, was accounted for as a reverse merger with MPI being the
acquirer. Seven Oaks then changed its name to Mighty Power USA, Inc.
("Mighty Power").

Effective April 1, 1997, Mighty Power merged with GlobeNet Inc. (the "merger").
The transaction, a purchase under Accounting Principles Board Opinion 16, has
been accounted for as a reverse merger with GlobeNet Inc. being the acquirer. In
connection with this transaction, the GlobeNet, Inc. changed it name to GlobeNet
International I, Inc. ("GNI").

Concurrent with the merger, an affiliate GNI, Great Xpectations Marketing, Inc.
("GXI"), acquired all the assets and liabilities of two other affiliates of the
Company, Health Thru Nature, Inc. ("HTN") and Mighty Power USA L. C. ("MPLC")
for $100,000 in notes payable. GNI then purchased all the outstanding common
stock of GXI for an additional $100,000 note payable. These transactions were
also accounted for as purchases.

As a result of these transactions, GXI (the "Company"), became a wholly-owned
subsidiary of GNI consisting of the assets, liabilities and operations of GXI,
Mighty Power, HTN, and MPLC. The Company is engaged in the marketing of
nutritional supplements and personal care products.

On July 28, 1998, GNI announced its intention to separate GXI from its network
marketing business through a spin-off to its shareholders ("the Distribution").
The Company's Board of Directors voted to approve, in principal, the
Distribution subject to other approvals and consents and satisfactory
implementation of the arrangements for the Distribution. The Company intends to
consummate the Distribution effective June 30, 1998, through a special dividend
to its stockholders of one share of GXI common stock for each two shares of
Company common stock.

The Company was originally organized in Texas on April 10, 1995. In August 1998
the Company redomiciled to Nevada and changed its capital structure to authorize
20,000,000 shares of $1.00 par vale common stock and 50,000,000 shares of $.001
par value common stock. Issued and outstanding common stock was adjusted to
6,768,490 shares effective on that date. All share and per share amounts have
been retroactively adjusted to reflect this change.

The financial statements present the financial position, results of operations
and cash flows of GXI as if it were formed as a separate entity of GNI for all
periods presented. GNI's historical basis in the assets and liabilities of GXI
has been carried over to the financial statements. All material inter-company
transactions and balances between GNI and GXI have been eliminated. GXI's
balance due to GNI for inter-company transactions has been forgiven by GNI
resulting in gain on forgiveness to GXI of $483,941.


2.       SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:

REVENUE RECOGNITION - The Company sells its products through a network of
independent distributors. The Company recognizes revenue upon sale to its
distributors and records an allowance for sales returns.

                     YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1997 AND 1996


2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED):

INVENTORIES - Inventories, consisting of finished goods held for resale,
work-in-process and raw materials are stated at the lower of cost of market.

CASH EQUIVALENTS - For purposes of the statements of cash flows, the Company
considers all highly liquid debt instruments purchased with an original maturity
of three months or less to be cash equivalents.

PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT - Property and equipment are recorded at cost.
Depreciation and amortization are being provided over the estimated useful lives
of the related assets, principally on the straight-line and declining balance
methods, ranging from three to seven years.

The company reviews its property and other noncurrent assets for impairment when
changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not
be recoverable. Impairment is measured as the amount by which the carrying
amount of the asset exceeds the fair market value of the asset less disposal
costs.

ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES - The preparation of financial statements, in conformity
with generally accepted accounting principles, requires management to make
estimates and assumptions that effect the amounts reported in the financial
statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those
estimates.

INCOME TAXES - The Company has adopted Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards No. 109 (SFAS 109), "Accounting for Income Taxes". SFAS 109 requires
an asset and liability approach to financial accounting for income taxes. In the
event differences between the financial reporting basis and the tax basis of the
Company's assets and liabilities result in deferred tax assets, SFAS 109
requires an evaluation of the probability of being able to realize the future
benefits indicated by such assets. A valuation allowance is provided for a
portion or all deferred tax assets when there is an uncertainty regarding the
Company's ability to recognize the benefits of the assets in future years.

GOODWILL - Goodwill represents the excess cost over fair value of assets
acquired and is being amortized using the straight line method over 20 years.
The carrying value of goodwill is periodically reviewed by the Company for
impairment based on expected future undiscounted operating cash flows of the
related business unit. If it is determined that impairment has occurred, any
excess will be charged to operations.

EARNINGS (LOSS) PER SHARE - Earnings (loss) per share (EPS) are calculated in
accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 128 (SFAS 128),
"Earnings per Share", which was adopted in 1997 for all years presented. Basic
EPS is computed by dividing income available to common shareholders by the
weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted
EPS is not presented since it would be anti-dilutive.

Credit Risk - The Company's trade accounts receivable arise in the normal course
of business and primarily relate to sales of its products to its distributor
network throughout the United States, Canada and its overseas licensees. Such
receivables are unsecured. The company performs ongoing credit evaluations of
the entities from whom such accounts are receivable. The Company places its cash
investments in high credit quality institutions and limits the amount of credit
exposure to any one institution.

                     YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1997 AND 1996


2.       SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED):

FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS - The carrying value of cash and cash equivalents,
accounts receivable and payable, accrued liabilities and notes payable
approximate fair value due to the short-term maturities of these assets and
liabilities. Fair value of long-term debt is estimated based on interest rates
for the same or similar debt offered to the Company having the same or similar
maturities and collateral requirements.


3.       BASIS OF PRESENTATION:

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company
will continue as a going concern; they do not include any adjustments that may
be necessary relating to the recoverability of recorded asset amounts and
classification of recorded asset and liabilities. The going concern basis of
might not be appropriate since the Company has incurred substantial operating
losses in recent years and the period ended September 30, 1998.

The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependant on the
Company's ability to achieve profitable operations and obtain additional equity
or long-term financing.

The Company is having preliminary discussions with potential investors regarding
additional equity capital. In addition, the Company plans to continue seeking
additional products or lines of business that will add volume to its business
without adding significant overhead costs.


4.       INVENTORIES:

At September 30, 1998 and December 31, 1997 inventories consist of the

In connection with the spin-off , the $16,328 obligation was assumed by GNI and
is included in gain from forgiveness of inter-company balances on the September

9.       COMMITMENTS:

The Company leases its office and warehouse space under an operating lease
expiring February 1999. The Company has not extended the term of its lease or
secured alternate space.

The Company has employment agreements with two key employees calling for payment
for services for one year beginning with the effective date of the Company's
registration statement with 550,000 shares in company common stock.

In 1998 the Company adopted a stock bonus plan reserving 750,000 shares of
common stock for possible award to employees of the Company. As of the date of
this report no shares had been awarded under this plan.


10.      INCOME TAXES:

Deferred tax assets resulting from net operating loss carry-forwards have not
been recorded as there is doubt about the Company's ability to use them during
the carry-forward period. Therefore such deferred tax assets have been fully
offset by a valuation allowance.


11.      CONTINGENCIES:

From time to time the Company is involved in various legal matters arising in
the normal course of business. In the opinion of Management, such matters will
not have a material effect on the financial position of the Company.

ITEM 24.  INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS.

         Nevada General Corporation Law provides that a corporation has the
power to (i) indemnify directors, officers, employees, and agents of the
Corporation against judgments, fines, and amounts paid in settlement in
connection with suits, actions, and proceedings against certain expenses
incurred by such parties if specified standards of conduct are met; and (ii)
purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of any of the foregoing parties
against liabilities incurred by such parties in the foregoing capacities. The
Bylaws of the Company provide for indemnification of its officers and directors
to the full extent permitted under Nevada law. In addition, such instrument
contains a mandatory general authorization provision to the effect that expenses
incurred by a director or officer in defending such inaction, suit, or
proceeding shall be paid in advance of the final disposition thereof upon
receipt of an undertaking to repay such amount if each yell ultimately be
determined to that he is not entitled to be indemnified by the company. (See
item 17(c) below for a discussion of the position of the securities and exchange
commission with respect to indemnification for securities act liabilities.)

ITEM 26.  RECENT SALES OF UNREGISTERED SECURITIES.

         On December 31, 1998, the Company issued 500,000 shares of its $0.001
par value common stock to Everett Sparks, Forrest E. Watson, and T. Alan &

Additionally, the Company obtained a signed representation from Mr. Sparks, Dr.
Watson, and T. Alan Owen & Associates, P.C., of their intent to acquire the
common stock of the company for the purpose of investment only and not for
purpose of the subsequent distribution thereof. The certificates representing
the common stock issued to Mr. Sparks and Dr. Watson have been impressed with a

to vote and represented at a meeting at which a quorum is present shall be the

         Section 4.  Notwithstanding Sections 2 and 3 above, whenever the
holders of any class or series of shares are entitled to elect one or more

such directorships and any newly created directorships of such class or series
to be filled by reason of an increase in the number of such directors shall be

         Section 11. A majority of the directors shall constitute a quorum for
the transaction of business, and the act of the majority of the directors
present at the meeting at which a quorum is present shall be the act of the
Board of Directors, unless a greater number is required by the Articles of
Incorporation or elsewhere in these Bylaws. If a quorum shall not be present at

corporation except as otherwise provided by law. Vacancies in the membership of
any such committee shall be filled by the Board of Directors at a regular or
special meeting of the Board of Directors. The committees shall keep regular
minutes of their proceedings and report the same to the Board when required. The
designation of such committee and the delegation thereto of authority shall not
operate to relieve the Board of Directors, or any member thereof, of any
responsibility imposed upon it or him by law.

of the Board of Directors or any committee may be taken without a meeting if a

                                   ARTICLE VI

                             CERTIFICATE FOR SHARES

         Section 1. The corporation shall deliver certificates representing all
shares to which shareholders are entitled; and such certificates shall be signed
by the President and a Vice President, the Secretary, or an Assistant Secretary
of the corporation, and may be sealed with the seal of the corporation or a
facsimile thereof. No certificate shall be issued for any share until the
consideration therefor has been fully paid. Each certificate representing shares
shall state upon the face thereof that the corporation is organized under the
laws of the State of Nevada, the name of the person to whom issued, the number
and class and the designation of the series, if any, which such certificate
represents, and the par value of each share represented by such certificate or a
statement that shares are without par value.

         Section 2. The signature of the President and a Vice President, the
Secretary, or an Assistant Secretary, as the case may be, upon a certificate may
be facsimiles. In case any officer who has signed or whose facsimile signature
has been placed upon such certificate shall have ceased to be such officer
before such


BYLAWS -- Page 8

<PAGE>   9

certificate is issued, it may be issued by the corporation with the same effect
as if he were such officer at the date of the issuance.

         Section 3. The Board of Directors may direct a new certificate or
certificates to be issued in place of any certificate or certificates
theretofore issued by the corporation alleged to have been lost or destroyed,
upon the making of an affidavit of the fact by the person claiming the
certificate of stock to be lost or destroyed. When authorizing such issue of a
new certificate or certificates, the Board of Directors may, in its discretion
and as a condition precedent to the issuance thereof, require the owner of such
lost or destroyed certificate or certificates, or his legal representative, to
advertise the same in such manner as it shall require and/or to give the
corporation a bond in such sum as it may direct as indemnity against any claim
that may be made against the corporation with respect to the certificate alleged
to have been lost or destroyed.

         Section 4. Upon surrender to the corporation, or the transfer agent of
the corporation, of a certificate for shares duly endorsed or accompanied by
proper evidence of succession, assignment, or authority to transfer, it shall be
the duty of the corporation to issue a new certificate to the person entitled
thereto, cancel the old certificate, and record the transaction upon its books.

         Section 5. For the purpose of determining shareholders entitled to
notice of or to vote at any meeting of shareholders or any adjournment thereof,
or entitled to receive a distribution by the corporation (other than a
distribution involving a purchase or redemption by the corporation of any of its
own shares) or a share dividend, or in order to make a determination of
shareholders for any other proper purpose, the Board of Directors may provide
that the stock transfer books shall be closed for a stated period but not to
exceed, in any case, sixty (60) days. If the stock transfer books shall be
closed for the purpose of determining shareholders entitled to notice of or to
vote at a meeting of shareholders, such books shall be closed for at least ten
(10) days immediately preceding such meeting. In lieu of closing the stock
transfer books, the Board of Directors may fix in advance a date as the record
date for any such determination of shareholders, such date in any case to be not
more than sixty (60) days, and, in the case of a meeting of shareholders, not
less than ten (10) days, prior to the date on which the particular action
requiring such determination of shareholders is to be taken. If the stock
transfer books are not closed and no record date is fixed for the determination
of shareholders entitled to notice of or to vote at a meeting of shareholders,
or shareholders entitled to receive a distribution (other than a distribution
involving a purchase or redemption by the corporation of any of its own shares)
or a share dividend, the date on which notice of the meeting is mailed or the
date on which the resolution of the Board of Directors declaring such
distribution or share dividend is adopted, as the case may be, shall be the
record date for such determination of shareholders.


BYLAWS -- Page 9

<PAGE>   10

When a determination of shareholders entitled to vote at any meeting of
shareholders has been made as provided in this Section, such determination shall
apply to any adjournment thereof, except where the determination has been made
through the closing of stock transfer books and the stated period of closing has
expired.

         Section 6. Distributions of cash or property (tangible or intangible)
made or payable by the corporation, whether in liquidation or from earnings,
profits, assets, or capital, including all distributions that were payable but
not paid to the registered owner of the shares, his heirs, successors, or
assigns but that are now being held in suspense by the corporation or that were
paid or delivered by it into an escrow account or to a trustee or custodian,
shall be payable by the corporation, escrow agent, trustee, or custodian to the
person registered as owner of the shares in the corporation's stock transfer
books as of the record date determined for that distribution as provided in
Section 5 of this Article VI, his heirs, successors, or assigns. The person in
whose name the shares are or were registered in the stock transfer books of the
corporation as of the record date shall be deemed to be the owner of the shares
registered in his name at that time. Neither the corporation nor any of its
officers, directors, or agents shall be under any liability for making such a
distribution to a person in whose name shares were registered in the stock
transfer books as of the record date or to the heirs, successors, or assigns of
the person, even though the person, or his heirs, successors, or assigns, may
not possess a certificate for shares.

         Section 7. The corporation shall be entitled to recognize the exclusive
rights of a person registered on its books as the owner of shares to receive
distributions or share dividends, and to vote as such owner, and shall not be
bound to recognize any equitable or other claim to or interest in such share or
shares on the part of any other person, whether or not it shall have express or
other notice thereof, except as otherwise provided by the laws of the State of
Nevada or these Bylaws.

         Section 8. When shares are registered on the books of the corporation
in the names of two or more persons as joint owners with the right of
survivorship, after the death of a joint owner and before the time that the
corporation receives actual written notice that parties other than the surviving
joint owner or owners claim an interest in the shares or any distributions
thereon, the corporation may record on its books and otherwise effect the
transfer of those shares to any person, firm, or corporation (including that
surviving joint owner individually) and pay any distributions made in respect of
those shares, in each case as if the surviving joint owner or owners were the
absolute owner(s) of the shares. The corporation by permitting such a transfer
by and making any distribution to such a surviving joint owner or owners before
the receipt of written notice from other parties claiming an interest in those
shares or distributions is discharged from all liability for the transfer or
payment so made; provided, however, that the discharge of the corporation from
liability and the transfer of full legal and equitable title of the shares in no
way

<PAGE>   11

affects, reduces, or limits any cause of action existing in favor of any owner
of an interest in those shares or distributions against the surviving owner or
owners.


                                   ARTICLE VII

                               GENERAL PROVISIONS

the Board of Directors may from time to time designate.

         Section 5. The fiscal year of the corporation shall be fixed by
resolution of the Board of Directors.

         Section 6. The corporate seal shall have inscribed thereon the name of
the corporation and may be in such form as the Board of Directors may determine,
and may be used by causing it or a facsimile thereof to be impressed or affixed
or in any other manner reproduced.


                                  ARTICLE VIII

                                  ARTICLE FOUR

         The total authorized capital stock of the corporation is:

                  50,000,000 shares of common stock, with a par value of $0.001
                  per share

                  20,000,000 shares of preferred stock, with a par value of
                  $0.001 per share


                  Such stock may be issued from time to time without action by
                  the shareholders for such consideration as may be determined,
                  from time to time, by the Board of Directors, and such shares
                  so issued shall be deemed fully paid stock, and the holders of
                  such stock shall not be liable for any further payments
                  thereon. Further, the preferred stock may be issued in one or
                  more series, from time to time, at the discretion of the Board
                  of Directors without shareholder approval, with each such
                  series to consist of such number of shares and to have such
                  voting powers (whether full or limited, or no voting powers)
                  and such designations, powers, preferences, and relative,
                  participating, optional, redemption, conversion, exchange, or
                  other special rights, and such qualifications, limitations, or
                  restrictions thereof, as shall be stated in the resolution or
                  resolutions providing for the issuance of such series adopted
                  by the Board of Directors, and the Board of Directors is
                  hereby expressly vested with the authority, to the full extent
                  now or hereafter provided by law, to adopt any such resolution
                  or resolutions. Each share of any series of preferred stock
                  shall be identical with all other shares of such series,
                  except as to the date from which dividends, if any, shall
                  accrue.

Gentlemen:

         We have acted as counsel to Great Xpectations Marketing, Inc., a Nevada
corporation (the "Company"), in connection with the preparation and filing of a
Registration Statement Form S-1 (the "Registration Statement") with the
Securities and Exchange Commission under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.
The Registration Statement covers 6,768,490 shares of the $0.001 par value
Common Stock (the "Common Stock") of the Company.

         As counsel for the Company, we have examined the original or copies
certified, or otherwise authenticated to our satisfaction, of the corporate
records of the Company and such other documents or certificates of public
officials as we have deemed necessary for the Opinion expressed herein.

         In rendering the Opinion set forth herein, we have assumed (a) the
legal capacity of all natural persons, (b) the authenticity of all documents
submitted to us as originals, and (c) the conformity to original documents of
all documents submitted to us as copies.

         Based upon our examination of such documents, materials, certificates,
and information as we had deemed appropriate or relevant for purpose of
delivering this Opinion, but subject to the qualifications set forth herein, we
are of the following opinion:

         1.    The Company is duly incorporated and validly existing and in good
standing under the laws of the State of Nevada.

         2.    The 6,768,490 shares of the common stock are validly issued,
fully paid, and non-assessable.

         This Opinion is provided for the purpose of being filed with the
Securities and Exchange Commission as an Exhibit to the Registration Statement
and, without our prior written consent, may not be relied upon by any person,
firm, or entity whatsoever other than you, your counsel, and your successors and
assigns.

                  [T. ALAN OWEN & ASSOCIATES, P. C. LETTERHEAD]





                                December 31, 1998


Board of Directors
Great Xpectations Marketing, Inc.
9202 West Royal Lane
Irving, Texas 75063

Gentlemen:

         We have acted as tax counsel to Great Xpectations Marketing, Inc., a
Nevada corporation (the "Company"), in connection with the preparation of the
"Federal Income Taxes" caption of the Prospectus forming part of the
Registration Statement on Form SB-2 (the "Registration Statement") filed by the
Company with the Securities and Exchange Commission under the Securities Act of
1933, as amended.

         The Registration Statement covers 6,678,490 shares of the $0.001 par
value Common Stock (the "Common Stock") of the Company.

         The 6,768,490 shares of the Common Stock has been issued by the Company
to GlobeNet International I, Inc. ("GlobeNet") and will be distributed (the
"Distribution") to all holders of record on June 10, 1998 (the "Record Date"),
of Common Stock of GlobeNet on the effective date of the Registration Statement.

         Holders of GlobeNet stock will not be charged or assessed for the
dividend stock. Neither GlobeNet nor the Company will receive any proceeds from
the offering. GlobeNet will report the distribution of stock as a distribution
subject to the provisions of Section 301 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986,
as amended (the "Code").

         For purposes of rendering the opinions hereinafter set forth, we have
examined (a) the Registration Statement and the Prospectus included as a part
thereof (the "Prospectus") and (b) such other documents and instruments as we
have deemed necessary or relevant. Based solely upon such examination and our
interpretation of existing Federal Income Tax Laws, Court Decisions, Treasury
Department Regulations, and Internal Revenue Service Rulings, we are of the
opinion that Federal Income Tax consequences to the distributees of the Common
Stock will be as follows:

         1.     Under Section 311(b) of the Code, GlobeNet will recognize gain
                as a result of the Distribution to the extent that the fair
                market value of the Common Stock distributed exceeds its
                adjusted basis in the hands of GlobeNet. For this purpose,
                GlobeNet will


<PAGE>   2


Board of Directors
Great Xpectations Marketing, Inc.
December 31, 1998
Page 2

                be treated as though it had sold the Common Stock to its
                stockholders at its fair market value. On the other hand, if the
                fair market value of the Common Stock is less than its adjusted
                basis in the hands of GlobeNet, GlobeNet will recognize a loss
                as a result of the distribution.

         2.     The Distribution will be taxable to GlobeNet's stockholders
                pursuant to Section 301 of the Code.

         3.     With respect to a non-corporate distributee, the amount of the
                Distribution will be the fair market value of the Distribution
                to such distributee determined as of the date of the
                Distribution. Under Sections 301(c) and 316(a) of the Code, the
                amount of the Distribution will be a dividend to the extent the
                Distribution is made out of GlobeNet's current and accumulated
                earnings and profits computed as of the close of the tax year in
                which the Distribution occurs.

                The portion, if any, of the Distribution which is not a dividend
                will reduce the adjusted basis of the GlobeNet Common Stock in
                the hands of the non-corporate distributees. That portion (if
                any) of the Distribution which is not a dividend, to the extent
                that such portion exceeds the adjusted basis above such GlobeNet
                Common Stock, will be treated as gain from the sale or exchange
                of property. Such gain will be capital gain if such GlobeNet
                Common Stock is a capital asset in the hands of such distributee
                and will be either long-term or short-term depending on whether
                he has held such stock for more than six months. The holding
                period of the Common Stock to be distributed will commence on
                the day following the date of the Distribution.

         4.     The tax basis to the non-corporate distributee of the Common
                Stock to be distributed will be the fair market value of such
                Common Stock on the date of the Distribution.

         5.     With respect to a corporate distributee, the amount of the
                Distribution will be the lesser of: (i) the fair market value of
                the Distribution, determined as of the date of the Distribution;
                or (ii) the adjusted basis (in the hands of GlobeNet immediately
                prior to the Distribution) of the Common Stock to be distributed
                increased in the amount of gain recognized to GlobeNet on the
                Distribution. However, under Section 301(b) of the Code, if the
                distributee is a foreign corporation, and in the amount received
                by such foreign corporation is not effectively connected with
                the conduct by it of a trade or business within the United
                States, the amount of the Distribution to such foreign
                corporation will be the fair market value of the Distribution
                determined as of the date of the Distribution. Under Sections
                301(c) and 316(a) of the Code, the amount of the Distribution
                will be a dividend to the extent the Distribution is made out of
                GlobeNet's current and accumulated earnings and profits computed
                as of the close of the tax year in which the Distribution
                occurs.

                The portion, if any, of the Distribution which is not a dividend
                will reduce the adjusted basis of the GlobeNet Common Stock in
                the hands of the corporate distributee. That portion (if any) of
                the Distribution which is not a dividend and, to the extent that
                such

                portion exceeds the adjusted basis of such GlobeNet Common Stock
                will be treated as gain from the sale or exchange of property.
                Such gain will be capital gain if such GlobeNet Common Stock is
                a capital asset in the hands of such distributee and will be
                either long-term or short-term depending on whether it has held
                such stock for more than six months.

         6.     The tax basis to the corporate distributee of the Common Stock
                to be distributed will be the lesser of: (i) the fair market
                value of such Common Stock on the date of the distribution; or
                (ii) the adjusted basis (in the hands of GlobeNet immediately
                before the Distribution) of the Common Stock to be distributed,
                increased in the amount gain recognized to GlobeNet on the
                Distribution. However, under Section 301(d)(3) of the Code, if
                such distributee is a foreign corporation, and if the amount
                received by such corporation is not effectively connected with
                the conduct by it of a trade or business within the United
                States, the tax basis of the Common Stock to be distributed will
                be the fair market value of the Distribution determined as of
                the date of the Distribution.

         7.     The determination of the holding period with respect to a
                corporate distributee of the Common Stock to be distributed does
                not appear settled. The corporate distributee (which is not a
                foreign corporation of the type described in paragraph 6 above)
                could contend that such holding period includes the period for
                which the common stock to be distributed was held by GlobeNet.
                Such position would be predicated on the theory that since the
                tax basis (as described above) of the Common Stock to such
                corporate distributee might be the adjusted basis of the Common
                Stock in the hands of GlobeNet pursuant to Section 1223(2) of
                the Code, which provides that the holding period of the
                property, however acquired, shall include the period for which
                such property was held by any other person where such property
                has, for determining gain or loss from a sale were changed, the
                same basis (in whole or in part) in his hands as it would have
                in the hands of such other person. However, the Internal Revenue
                Service might take the position that Section 1223(2) of the Code
                is not applicable to the Distribution and, consequently, that
                the holding period of the Common Stock to be distributed will
                commence on the day following the date of the Distribution

         8.     In the absence of a trading market for the Common Stock, "fair
                market value" should be calculated in accordance with Revenue
                Ruling 59-60 1959(1)C.B.237, which sets forth certain factors to
                be considered in making such determination.

         We hereby consent to the inclusion of this Opinion as an Exhibit to the
Registration Statement and to the reference in the Prospectus to our firm under
the heading of "Federal Income Taxes".

         Persons reviewing this opinion should be aware that:

         (1)    Statutes, regulations, and rulings with respect to all of the
                foregoing tax matters are subject to change by Congress or by
                the Department of the Treasury, and the interpretation of such
                statutes, regulations, and rulings may be modified or affected


<PAGE>   4



                by judicial decision or by the Department of the Treasury.
                Because of the continual changes by Congress, the Treasury
                Department, and the Courts with respect to the administration
                and the interpretation of the tax laws, no assurance can be
                given that the foregoing opinions and interpretations will not
                be challenged by the Internal Revenue Service, or, if
                challenged, that such opinions and interpretations will be
                sustained.

         (2)    Each individual taxpayer's situation will be different.
                Accordingly, we recommend that the respective distributee be
                advised to seek their own personal tax counsel with respect to
                the tax considerations discussed above.

         (3)    No opinion in any matter not expressly stated should be inferred
                from the opinion set forth herein.

                                          Sincerely,

                                          T. ALAN OWEN & ASSOCIATES, P.C.
