PART I
Item 1. Description of Business
The N.E.C. Properties, Inc. (the "Company") was incorporated on June
16, 1995 under the laws of the State of Nevada to engage in any lawful corporate
activity, including, but not limited to, selected mergers and acquisitions. The
Company has been in the developmental stage since inception and has no
operations to date. Other than issuing shares to its original shareholders, the
Company never commenced any operational activities. As such, the Company can be
defined as a "shell" company, whose sole purpose at this time is to locate and
consummate a merger or acquisition with a private entity. The Board of Directors
of the Company has elected to commence implementation of the Company's principal
business purpose described below under "Item 2 - Plan of Operation."
The Company is filing this registration statement on a
voluntary basis because the primary attraction of the Company as a merger
partner or acquisition vehicle will be its status as a public company. Any
business combination or transaction will likely result in a significant issuance
of shares and substantial dilution to present stockholders of the Company.
In addition, the Company is filing this registration statement
to enhance investor protection and to provide information if a trading market
commences. On December 11, 1997, the National Association of Securities Dealers,
Inc. (NASD) announced that its Board of Governors had approved a series of
proposed changes for the Over The Counter ("OTC") Bulletin Board and the OTC
market. The principal changes, which was approved by the Securities and Exchange
Commission on January 5, 1999 allows only those companies that report their
current financial information to the Securities and Exchange Commission,
banking, or insurance regulators to be quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board. The
rule provides for a phase-in period for those securities already quoted on the
OTC Bulletin Board.
The proposed business activities described herein may classify the
Company as a "blank check" company. Many states have enacted statutes, rules and
regulations limiting the sale of securities of "blank check" companies in their
respective jurisdictions.
The Company's business is subject to numerous risk factors, including
the following:
No Operating History or Revenue and Minimal Assets. The
Company has had no operating history nor any revenues or earnings from
operations. The Company has no significant assets or finan-
3.
<PAGE> 4
cial resources. The Company will, in all likelihood, sustain operating expenses
without corresponding revenues, at least until the consummation of a business
combination. This may result in the Company incurring a net operating loss which
will increase continuously until the Company can consummate a business
combination with a profitable business opportunity. There is no assurance that
the Company can identify such a business opportunity and consummate such a
business combination.
Speculative Nature of Company's Proposed Operations. The success of the
Company's proposed plan of operation will depend to a great extent on the
operations, financial condition and management of the identified business
opportunity. While management intends to seek business combination(s) with
entities having established operating histories, there can be no assurance that
the Company will be successful in locating candidates meeting such criteria. In
the event the Company completes a business combination, of which there can be no
assurance, the success of the Company's operations may be dependent upon
management of the successor firm or venture partner firm and numerous other
factors beyond the Company's control.
Scarcity of and Competition for Business Opportunities and
Combinations. The Company is and will continue to be an insignificant
participant in the business of seeking mergers with, joint ventures with and
acquisitions of small private and public entities. A large number of established
and well-financed entities, including venture capital firms, are active in
mergers and acquisitions of companies which may be desirable target candidates
for the Company. Nearly all such entities have significantly greater financial
resources, technical expertise and managerial capabilities than the Company and,
consequently, the Company will be at a competitive disadvantage in identifying
possible business opportunities and successfully completing a business
combination. Moreover, the Company will also compete in seeking merger or
acquisition candidates with numerous other small public companies.
No Agreement for Business Combination or Other Transaction - No
Standards for Business Combination. The Company has no arrangement, agreement or
understanding with respect to engaging in a merger with, joint venture with or
acquisition of, a private or public entity. There can be no assurance the
Company will be successful in identifying and evaluating suitable business
opportunities or in concluding a business combination. Management has not
identified any particular industry or specific business within an industry for
evaluation by the Company. There is no assurance the Company will be able to
negotiate a business combination on terms favorable to the Company. The Company
has not established a specific length of operating history or a specified level
of earnings, assets, net worth or other criteria which it will require a target
business opportunity to have achieved, and without which the Company would not
consider a business combination in any form with such business opportunity.
Accordingly, the Company may enter into a business combination with a business
opportunity having no significant operating history, losses, limited or no
potential for
4.
<PAGE> 5
earnings, limited assets, negative net worth or other negative characteristics.
Continued Management Control, Limited Time Availability. While seeking
a business combination, management anticipates devoting up to ten hours per
month to the business of the Company. None of the Company's officers has entered
into a written employment agreement with the Company and none is expected to do
so in the foreseeable future. The Company has not obtained key man life
insurance on any of its officers or directors. Notwithstanding the combined
limited experience and time commitment of management, loss of the services of
any of these individuals would adversely affect development of the Company's
business and its likelihood of continuing operations. See "Item 5 - Directors,
Executive Officers, Promoters and Control Persons."
Conflicts of Interest - General. Officers and directors of the Company
may in the future participate in business ventures which could be deemed to
compete directly with the Company. Additional conflicts of interest and non-arms
length transactions may also arise in the future in the event the Company's
officers or directors are involved in the management of any firm with which the
Company transacts business. Management has adopted a policy that the Company
will not seek a merger with, or acquisition of, any entity in which management
serve as officers, directors or partners, or in which they or their family
members own or hold any ownership interest.
Reporting Requirements May Delay or Preclude Acquisition. Sections 13
and 5(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the "1934 Act"), require
companies subject thereto to provide certain information about significant
acquisitions, including certified financial statements for the company acquired,
covering one, two, or three years, depending on the relative size of the
acquisition. The time and additional costs that may be incurred by some target
entities to prepare such statements may significantly delay or essentially
preclude consummation of an otherwise desirable acquisition by the Company.
Acquisition prospects that do not have or are unable to obtain the required
audited statements may not be appropriate for acquisition so long as the
reporting requirements of the 1934 Act are applicable.
Lack of Market Research or Marketing Organization. The Company has
neither conducted, nor have others made available to it, results of market
research indicating that market demand exists for the transactions contemplated
by the Company. Moreover, the Company does not have, and does not plan to
establish, a marketing organization. Even in the event demand is identified for
a merger or acquisition contemplated by the Company, there is no assurance the
Company will be successful in completing any such business combination.
Lack of Diversification. The Company's proposed operations, even if
successful, will in all likelihood result in the Company engaging in a business
combination with a business oppor-
5.
<PAGE> 6
tunity. Consequently, the Company's activities may be limited to those engaged
in by business opportunities which the Company merges with or acquires. The
Company's inability to diversify its activities into a number of areas may
subject the Company to economic fluctuations within a particular business or
industry and therefore increase the risks associated with the Company's
operations. Regulation. Although the Company will be subject to regulation under
the 1934 Act, management believes the Company will not be subject to regulation
under the Investment Company Act of 1940, insofar as the Company will not be
engaged in the business of investing or trading in securities. In the event the
Company engages in business combinations which result in the Company holding
passive investment interests in a number of entities, the Company could be
subject to regulation under the Investment Company Act of 1940. In such event,
the Company would be required to register as an investment company and could be
expected to incur significant registration and compliance costs. The Company has
obtained no formal determination from the Securities and Exchange Commission as
to the status of the Company under the Investment Company Act of 1940 and,
consequently, any violation of such Act would subject the Company to material
adverse consequences.
Probable Change in Control and Management. A business combination
involving the issuance of the Company's Common Shares will, in all likelihood,
result in shareholders of a private company obtaining a controlling interest in
the Company. Any such business combination may require management of the Company
to sell or transfer all or a portion of the Company's Common Shares held by
them, or resign as members of the Board of Directors of the Company. The
resulting change in control of the Company could result in removal of one or
more present officers and directors of the Company and a corresponding reduction
in or elimination of their participation in the future affairs of the Company.
Reduction of Percentage Share Ownership Following Business Combination.
The Company's primary plan of operation is based upon a business combination
with a private concern which, in all likelihood, would result in the Company
issuing securities to shareholders of any such private company. The issuance of
previously authorized and unissued Common Shares of the Company would result in
reduction in percentage of shares owned by present and prospective shareholders
of the Company and may result in a change in control or management of the
Company.
Disadvantages of Blank Check Offering. The Company may enter into a
business combination with an entity that desires to establish a public trading
market for its shares. A business opportunity may attempt to avoid what it deems
to be adverse consequences of undertaking its own public offering by seeking a
business combination with the Company. Such consequences may include, but are
not limited to, time delays of the registration process, significant expenses to
be incurred in such an offering, loss of voting control to public shareholders
and the inability or unwillingness to comply with various federal and state laws
enacted for the protection of investors.
6.
<PAGE> 7
Taxation. Federal and state tax consequences will, in all likelihood,
be major considerations in any business combination the Company may undertake.
Currently, such transactions may be structured so as to result in tax-free
treatment to both companies, pursuant to various federal and state tax
provisions. The Company intends to structure any business combination so as to
minimize the federal and state tax consequences to both the Company and the
target entity; however, there can be no assurance that such business combination
will meet the statutory requirements of a tax-free reorganization or that the
parties will obtain the intended tax-free treatment upon a transfer of stock or
assets. A non-qualifying reorganization could result in the imposition of both
federal and state taxes which may have an adverse effect on both parties to the
transaction.
Requirement of Audited Financial Statements May Disqualify Business
Opportunities. Management of the Company believes that any potential business
opportunity must provide audited financial statements for review, for the
protection of all parties to the business combination. One or more attractive
business opportunities may choose to forego the possibility of a business
combination with the Company, rather than incur the expenses associated with
preparing audited financial statements.
Item 2. Plan of Operation
The Company intends to seek to acquire assets or shares of an entity
actively engaged in business which generates revenues in exchange for its
securities. The Company has no particular acquisitions in mind and has not
entered into any negotiations regarding such an acquisition. None of the
Company's officers, directors, promoters or affiliates have engaged in any
preliminary contact or discussions with any representative of any other company
regarding the possibility of an acquisition or merger between the Company and
such other company as of the date of this registration statement.
The Company has no full time employees. None of the officers and
directors anticipates devoting more than ten (10%) percent of his or her time to
Company activities. The Company's President and Secretary have agreed to
allocate a portion of said time to the activities of the Company, without
compensation. These officers anticipate that the business plan of the Company
can be implemented by their devoting minimal time per month to the business
affairs of the Company and, consequently, conflicts of interest may arise with
respect to the limited time commitment by such officers. See "Item 5 -
Directors, Executive Officers, Promoters and Control Persons - Resumes."
General Business Plan
The Company's purpose is to seek, investigate and, if such
investigation warrants, acquire an interest in business opportunities presented
to it by persons or firms who or which desire to
7.
<PAGE> 8
seek the perceived advantages of an Issuer who has complied with the 1934 Act.
The Company will not restrict its search to any specific business, industry, or
geographical location and the Company may participate in a business venture of
virtually any kind or nature. This discussion of the proposed business is
purposefully general and is not meant to be restrictive of the Company's
virtually unlimited discretion to search for and enter into potential business
opportunities. Management anticipates that it may be able to participate in only
one potential business venture because the Company has nominal assets and
limited financial resources. See Item F/S, "Financial Statements." This lack of
diversification should be considered a substantial risk to shareholders of the
Company because it will not permit the Company to offset potential losses from
one venture against gains from another.
The Company may seek a business opportunity with entities which have
recently commenced operations, or which wish to utilize the public marketplace
in order to raise additional capital in order to expand into new products or
markets, to develop a new product or service, or for other corporate purposes.
The Company may acquire assets and establish wholly owned subsidiaries in
various businesses or acquire existing businesses as subsidiaries.
The Company anticipates that the selection of a business opportunity in
which to participate will be complex and extremely risky. Due to general
economic conditions, rapid technological advances being made in some industries
and shortages of available capital, management believes that there are numerous
firms seeking the perceived benefits of an Issuer who has complied with the 1934
Act. Such perceived benefits may include facilitating or improving the terms on
which additional equity financing may be sought, providing liquidity for
incentive stock options or similar benefits to key employees, providing
liquidity (subject to restrictions of applicable statutes), for all shareholders
and other factors. Potentially, available business opportunities may occur in
many different industries and at various stages of development, all of which
will make the task of comparative investigation and analysis of such business
opportunities extremely difficult and complex.
The Company has, and will continue to have, no capital with which to
provide the owners of business opportunities with any significant cash or other
assets. However, management believes the Company will be able to offer owners of
acquisition candidates the opportunity to acquire a controlling ownership
interest in an Issuer who has complied with the 1934 Act without incurring the
cost and time required to conduct an initial public offering. The owners of the
business opportunities will, however, incur significant legal and accounting
costs in connection with acquisition of a business opportunity, including the
costs of preparing Form 8-K's, 10-K's or 10-KSB's, agreements and related
reports and documents. The 1934 Act, specifically requires that any merger or
acquisition candidate comply with all applicable reporting requirements, which
include providing audited financial statements to be included within the
numerous filings relevant to complying
8.
<PAGE> 9
with the 1934 Act. Nevertheless, the officers and directors of the Company have
not conducted market research and are not aware of statistical data which would
support the perceived benefits of a merger or acquisition transaction for the
owners of a business opportunity.
The analysis of new business opportunities will be undertaken by, or
under the supervision of, the officers and directors of the Company, none of
whom is a professional business analyst. Management intends to concentrate on
identifying preliminary prospective business opportunities which may be brought
to its attention through present associations of the Company's officers and
directors, or by the Company's shareholders. In analyzing prospective business
opportunities, management will consider such matters as the available technical,
financial and managerial resources; working capital and other financial
requirements; history of operations, if any; prospects for the future; nature of
present and expected competition; the quality and experience of management
services which may be available and the depth of that management; the potential
for further research, development, or exploration; specific risk factors not now
foreseeable but which then may be anticipated to impact the proposed activities
of the Company; the potential for growth or expansion; the potential for profit;
the perceived public recognition of acceptance of products, services, or trades;
name identification; and other relevant factors. Officers and directors of the
Company expect to meet personally with management and key personnel of the
business opportunity as part of their investigation. To the extent possible, the
Company intends to utilize written reports and personal investigation to
evaluate the above factors. The Company will not acquire or merge with any
company for which audited financial statements cannot be obtained within a
reasonable period of time after closing of the proposed transaction.
Management of the Company, while not especially experienced in matters
relating to the new business of the Company, will rely upon their own efforts in
accomplishing the business purposes of the Company. It is not anticipated that
any outside consultants or advisors will be utilized by the Company to
effectuate its business purposes described herein. However, if the Company does
retain such an outside consultant or advisor, any cash fee by such party will
need to be paid by the prospective merger acquisition candidate, as the Company
has no cash assets with which to pay such obligation. There have been no
contracts or agreements with any outside consultants and none are anticipated in
the future.
The Company will not restrict its search for any specific kind of
firms, but may acquire a venture which is in its preliminary or development
stage, which is already in operation, or in essentially any stage of its
corporate life. It is impossible to predict at this time the status of any
business in which the Company may become engaged, in that such business may need
to seek additional capital, may desire to have its shares publicly traded, or
may seek other perceived advantages which the Company may offer.
9.
<PAGE> 10
However, the Company does not intend to obtain funds in one or more private
placements to finance the operation of any acquired business opportunity until
such time as the Company has successfully consummated such a merger or
acquisition.
It is anticipated that the Company will incur nominal expenses in the
implementation of its business plan described herein. Because the Company has no
capital with which to pay these anticipated expenses, present management of the
Company will pay these charges with their personal funds, as interest free loans
to the Company or as capital contributions. However, if loans, the only
opportunity which management has to have these loans repaid will be from a
prospective merger or acquisition candidate. Management has agreed among
themselves that the repayment of any loans made on behalf of the Company will
not impede, or be made conditional in any manner, to consummation of a proposed
transaction.
Acquisition of Opportunities
In implementing a structure for a particular business acquisition, the
Company may become a party to a merger, consolidation, reorganization, joint
venture, or licensing agreement with another corporation or entity. It may also
acquire stock or assets of an existing business. On the consummation of a
transaction, it is probable that the present management and shareholders of the
Company will no longer be in control of the Company. In addition, the Company's
directors may, as part of the terms of the acquisition transaction, resign and
be replaced by new directors without a vote of the Company's shareholders or may
sell their stock in the Company. Any terms of sale of the shares presently held
by officers and/or directors of the Company will be also afforded to all other
shareholders of the Company on similar terms and conditions. Any and all such
sales will only be made in compliance with the securities laws of the United
States and any applicable state.
It is anticipated that any securities issued in any such reorganization
would be issued in reliance upon exemption from registration under applicable
federal and state securities laws. In some circumstances, however, as a
negotiated element of its transaction, the Company may agree to register all or
a part of such securities immediately after the transaction is consummated or at
specified times thereafter. If such registration occurs, of which there can be
no assurance, it will be undertaken by the surviving entity after the Company
has successfully consummated a merger or acquisition and the Company is no
longer considered a "shell" company. The issuance of substantial additional
securities and their potential sale into any trading market which may develop in
the Company's securities may have a depressive effect on the value of the
Company's securities in the future, if such a market develops, of which there is
no assurance.
While the actual terms of a transaction to which the Company
may be a party cannot be predicted, it may be expected that the parties to the
business transaction will find it desirable to avoid the creation of a taxable
event and thereby structure the
10.
<PAGE> 11
acquisition in a so-called "tax-free" reorganization under Sections 368(a)(1) or
351 of the Internal Revenue Code (the "Code"). In order to obtain tax-free
treatment under the Code, it may be necessary for the owners of the acquired
business to own 80% or more of the voting stock of the surviving entity. In such
event, the shareholders of the Company, would retain less than 20% of the issued
and outstanding shares of the surviving entity, which would result in
significant dilution in the equity of such shareholders.
As part of the Company's investigation, officers and directors
of the Company will meet personally with management and key personnel, may visit
and inspect material facilities, obtain independent analysis of verification of
certain information provided, check references of management and key personnel,
and take other reasonable investigative measures, to the extent of the Company's
limited financial resources and management expertise. The manner in which the
Company participates in an opportunity will depend on the nature of the
opportunity, the respective needs and desires of the Company and other parties,
the management of the opportunity and the relative negotiation strength of the
Company and such other management.
With respect to any merger or acquisition, negotiations with
target company management is expected to focus on the percentage of the Company
which the target company shareholders would acquire in exchange for all of their
shareholdings in the target company. Depending upon, among other things, the
target company's assets and liabilities, the Company's shareholders will in all
likelihood hold a substantially lesser percentage ownership interest in the
Company following any merger or acquisition. The percentage ownership may be
subject to significant reduction in the event the Company acquires a target
company with substantial assets. Any merger or acquisition effected by the
Company can be expected to have a significant dilutive effect on the percentage
of shares held by the Company's then shareholders.
The Company will participate in a business opportunity only after the
negotiation and execution of appropriate written agreements. Although the terms
of such agreements cannot be predicted, generally such agreements will require
some specific representations and warranties by all of the parties thereto, will
specify certain events of default, will detail the terms of closing and the
conditions which must be satisfied by each of the parties prior to and after
such closing, will outline the manner of bearing costs, including costs
associated with the Company's attorneys and accountants, will set forth remedies
on default and will include miscellaneous other terms.
As stated hereinabove, the Company will not acquire or merge
with any entity which cannot provide independent audited financial statements
within a reasonable period of time after closing of the proposed transaction.
The Company is subject to all of the reporting requirements included in the 1934
Act. Included in these requirements is the affirmative duty of the Company to
file independent audited financial statements as part of its Form 8-K to
11.
<PAGE> 12
be filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission upon consummation of a
merger or acquisition, as well as the Company's audited financial statements
included in its annual report on Form 10-K (or 10-KSB, as applicable). If such
audited financial statements are not available at closing, or within time
parameters necessary to insure the Company's compliance with the requirements of
the 1934 Act, or if the audited financial statements provided do not conform to
the representations made by the candidate to be acquired in the closing
documents, the closing documents will provide that the proposed transaction will
be voidable, at the discretion of the present management of the Company. If such
transaction is voided, the agreement will also contain a provision providing for
the acquisition entity to reimburse the Company for all costs associated with
the proposed transaction.
Competition
The Company will remain an insignificant participant among the
firms which engage in the acquisition of business opportunities. There are many
established venture capital and financial concerns which have significantly
greater financial and personnel resources and technical expertise than the
Company. In view of the Company's combined extremely limited financial resources
and limited management availability, the Company will continue to be at a
significant competitive disadvantage compared to the Company's competitors.
Item 3. Description of Property
The Company has no properties and at this time has no
agreements to acquire any properties.
The Company presently occupies office space supplied by Paul
W. Andre at 6767 W. Tropicana Avenue, Suite 207, Las Vegas, Nevada 89103. This
space is provided to the Company on a rent free basis, and it is anticipated
that this arrangement will remain until such time as the Company successfully
consummates a merger or acquisition. Management believes that this arrangement
will meet the Company's needs for the foreseeable future.

Previous Blank Check Companies - Current
Blank Check Companies
The officers and directors of the Company have not been
officers and directors in any other blank check offerings. The officers and
directors, however, do anticipate becoming involved with additional blank check
companies who may file under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the 1934
Act, or either. In addition, the officers and directors of the Company may
become involved in additional blank check companies which may request a
broker-dealer to request clearance from the NASD Regulation, Inc. for trading
clearance in the applicable quotation medium.
Conflicts of Interest
Members of the Company's management are associated with other
firms involved in a range of business activities. Consequently, there are
potential inherent conflicts of interest in their acting as officers and
directors of the Company. Insofar as the officers and directors are engaged in
other business activities, management anticipates it will devote only a minor
amount of time to the Company's affairs.
The officers and directors of the Company are now and may in
the future become shareholders, officers or directors of other companies which
may be engaged in business activities similar to those conducted by the Company.
Accordingly, additional direct conflicts of interest may arise in the future
with respect to such individuals acting on behalf of the Company or other
entities. Moreover, additional conflicts of interest may arise with respect to
opportunities which come to the attention of such individuals in the performance
of their duties or otherwise. The Company does not currently have a right of
first refusal pertaining to opportunities that come to management's attention
insofar as such opportunities may relate to the Company's proposed business
operations.
The officers and directors are, so long as they are officers
or directors of the Company, subject to the restriction that all opportunities
contemplated by the Company's plan of operation which come to their attention,
either in the performance of their duties or in any other manner, will be
considered opportunities of, and be made available to the Company and the
companies that they are affiliated with on an equal basis. A breach of this
requirement will be a breach of the fiduciary duties of the officer or director.
If the Company or the companies in which the officers and directors are
affiliated with both desire to take advantage of an opportunity, then said
officers and directors would abstain from negotiating and voting upon the
opportunity. However, all directors may still individually take advantage of
opportunities if the Company should decline to do so. Except as set forth above,
the Company has not adopted any other conflict of interest policy with respect
to such transactions.

Investment Company Act of 1940
Although the Company will be subject to regulation under the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and the 1934 Act, management believes the
Company will not be subject to regulation under the Investment Company Act of
1940 insofar as the Company will not be engaged in the business of investing or
trading in securities. In the event the Company engages in business combinations
which result in the Company holding passive investment interests in a number of
entities, the Company could be subject to regulation under the Investment
Company Act of 1940. In such event, the Company would be required to register as
an investment company and could be expected to incur significant registration
and compliance costs. The Company has obtained no formal determination from the
Securities and Exchange Commission as to the status of the Company under the
Investment Company Act of 1940 and, consequently, any violation of such Act
would subject the Company to material adverse consequences. The Company's Board
of Directors unanimously approved a resolution stating that it is the Company's
desire to be exempt from the Investment Company Act of 1940 under Regulation
3a-2 thereto.
Item 6. Executive Compensation.
None of the Company's officers and/or directors receive any
compensation for their respective services rendered unto the Company, nor have
they received such compensation in the past. They all have agreed to act without
compensation until authorized by the Board of Directors, which is not expected
to occur until the Company has generated revenues from operations after
consummation of a merger or acquisition. As of the date of this registration
statement, the Company has no funds available to pay directors. Further, none of
the directors are accruing any compensation pursuant to any agreement with the
Company.
It is possible that, after the Company successfully
consummates a merger or acquisition with an unaffiliated entity, that entity may
desire to employ or retain one or a number of members of the Company's
management for the purposes of providing services to the surviving entity, or
otherwise provide other compensation to such persons. However, the Company has
adopted a policy whereby the offer of any post-transaction remuneration to
members of management will not be a consideration in the Company's decision to
undertake any proposed transaction. Each member of management has agreed to
disclose to the Company's Board of Directors any discussions concerning possible
compensation to be paid to them by any entity which proposes to undertake a
transaction with the Company and further, to abstain from voting on such
transaction. Therefore, as a practical matter, if each member of the Company's
Board of Directors is offered compensation in any form from any prospective
merger or acquisition candidate, the proposed transaction will not be approved
by the Company's Board of Directors as a result of the inability of the Board to
affirmatively approve such a transaction.
16.
<PAGE> 17
It is possible that persons associated with management may
refer a prospective merger or acquisition candidate to the Company. In the event
the Company consummates a transaction with any entity referred by associates of
management, it is possible that such an associate will be compensated for their
referral in the form of a finder's fee. It is anticipated that this fee will be
either in the form of restricted common stock issued by the Company as part of
the terms of the proposed transaction, or will be in the form of cash
consideration. However, if such compensation is in the form of cash, such
payment will be tendered by the acquisition or merger candidate, because the
Company has insufficient cash available. The amount of such finder's fee cannot
be determined as of the date of this registration statement, but is expected to
be comparable to consideration normally paid in like transactions. No member of
management of the Company will receive any finders fee, either directly or
indirectly, as a result of their respective efforts to implement the Company's
business plan outlined herein.
No retirement, pension, profit sharing, stock option or
insurance programs or other similar programs have been adopted by the Company
for the benefit of its employees.
Item 7. Certain Relationships and Related Transactions.
There have been no related party transactions, or any other
transactions or relationships required to be disclosed pursuant to Item 404 of
Regulation S-B.
Item 8. Description of Securities.
The Company's authorized capital stock consists of 25,000,000
shares, par value $.001 per share. There are 1,860,000 Common Shares issued and
outstanding as of the date of this filing.
All shares of Common Stock have equal voting rights and, when
validly issued and outstanding, are entitled to one vote per share in all
matters to be voted upon by shareholders. The shares of Common Stock have no
preemptive, subscription, conversion or redemption rights and may be issued only
as fully-paid and non-assessable shares. Cumulative voting in the election of
directors is not permitted, which means that the holders of a majority of the
issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock represented at any meeting at
which a quorum is present will be able to elect the entire Board of Directors if
they so choose and, in such event, the holders of the remaining shares of Common
Stock will not be able to elect any directors. In the event of liquidation of
the Company, each shareholder is entitled to receive a proportionate share of
the Company's assets available for distribution to shareholders after the
payment of liabilities and after distribution in full of preferential amounts,
if any. All shares of the Company's Common Stock issued and outstanding are
fully-paid and nonassessable. Holders of the Common Stock are entitled to share
pro rata in
17.
<PAGE> 18
dividends and distributions with respect to the Common Stock, as may be declared
by the Board of Directors out of funds legally available therefor.
PART II
Item 1. Market Price for Common Equity and Related Stockholder
Matters.
There is no trading market for the Company's Common Stock at
present and there has been no trading market to date. There is no assurance that
a trading market will ever develop or, if such a market does develop, that it
will continue. The Company intends to request a broker-dealer to make
application to the NASD Regulation, Inc. to have the Company's securities traded
on the OTC Bulletin Board Systems or published, in print and electronic media,
or either, in the National Quotation Bureau LLC "Pink Sheets."
(a) Market Price. The Company's Common Stock is not
quoted at the present time.
The Securities and Exchange Commission adopted Rule 15g-9,
which established the definition of a "penny stock," for purposes relevant to
the Company, as any equity security that has a market price of less than $5.00
per share or with an exercise price of less than $5.00 per share, subject to
certain exceptions. For any transaction involving a penny stock, unless exempt,
the rules require: (i) that a broker or dealer approve a person's account for
transactions in penny stocks; and (ii) the broker or dealer receive from the
investor a written agreement to the transaction, setting forth the identity and
quantity of the penny stock to be purchased. In order to approve a person's
account for transactions in penny stocks, the broker or dealer must (i) obtain
financial information and investment experience and objectives of the person;
and (ii) make a reasonable determination that the transactions in penny stocks
are suitable for that person and that person has sufficient knowledge and
experience in financial matters to be capable of evaluating the risks of
transactions in penny stocks. The broker or dealer must also deliver, prior to
any transaction in a penny stock, a disclosure schedule prepared by the
Commission relating to the penny stock market, which, in highlight form, (i)
sets forth the basis on which the broker or dealer made the suitability
determination; and (ii) that the broker or dealer received a signed, written
agreement from the investor prior to the transaction. Disclosure also has to be
made about the risks of investing in penny stock in both public offering and in
secondary trading, and about commissions payable to both the broker-dealer and
the registered representative, current quotations for the securities and the
rights and remedies available to an investor in cases of fraud in penny stock
transactions. Finally, monthly statements have to be sent disclosing recent
price information for the penny stock held in the account and information on the
limited market in penny stocks.
18.
<PAGE> 19
For the initial listing in the NASDAQ SmallCap market, a
company must have net tangible assets of $4 million or market capitalization of
$50 million or a net income (in the latest fiscal year or two of the last fiscal
years) of $750,000, a public float of 1,000,000 shares with a market value of $5
million. The minimum bid price must be $4.00 and there must be 3 market makers.
In addition, there must be 300 shareholders holding 100 shares or more, and the
company must have an operating history of at least one year or a market
capitalization of $50 million.
For continued listing in the NASDAQ SmallCap market, a company
must have net tangible assets of $2 million or market capitalization of $35
million or a net income (in the latest fiscal year or two of the last fiscal
years) of $500,000, a public float of 500,000 shares with a market value of $1
million. The minimum bid price must be $1.00 and there must be 2 market makers.
In addition, there must be 300 shareholders holding 100 shares or more.
Management intends to strongly consider undertaking a
transaction with any merger or acquisition candidate which will allow the
Company's securities to be traded without the aforesaid limitations. However,
there can be no assurances that, upon a successful merger or acquisition, the
Company will qualify its securities for listing on NASDAQ or some other national
exchange, or be able to maintain the maintenance criteria necessary to insure
continued listing. The failure of the Company to qualify its securities or to
meet the relevant maintenance criteria after such qualification in the future
may result in the discontinuance of the inclusion of the Company's securities on
a national exchange. In such events, trading, if any, in the Company's
securities may then continue in the non-NASDAQ over-the-counter market. As a
result, a shareholder may find it more difficult to dispose of, or to obtain
accurate quotations as to the market value of, the Company's securities.
(b) Holders.
There are thirty-five (35) holders of the Company's Common
Stock. In 1995, the Company issued 1,860,000, as adjusted for the stock split,
of its Common Shares for cash. All of the issued and outstanding shares of the
Company's Common Stock were issued in accordance with the exemption from
registration afforded by Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.
As of the date of this registration statement, 555,000 shares
of the Company's Common Stock are eligible for sale under Rule 144 promulgated
under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, subject to certain limitations
included in said Rule. In general, under Rule 144, a person (or persons whose
shares are aggregated), who has satisfied a one year holding period, under
certain circumstances, may sell within any three-month period a number of shares
which does not exceed the greater of one percent of the then outstanding Common
Stock or the average weekly trading volume during the four calendar weeks prior
to such sale. Rule 144 also
19.
<PAGE> 20
permits, under certain circumstances, the sale of shares without any quantity
limitation by a person who has satisfied a two-year holding period and who is
not, and has not been for the preceding three months, an affiliate of the
Company.
(c) Dividends.
The Company has not paid any dividends to date, and has no
plans to do so in the immediate future.
Item 2. Legal Proceedings.
There is no litigation pending or threatened by or against the
Company.
Item 3. Changes in and Disagreements With Accountants on
Accounting and Financial Disclosure.
The Company has not changed accountants since its formation
and there are no disagreements with the findings of said accountants.
Item 4. Recent Sales of Unregistered Securities.
The Company has not issued any of its securities during the
three year period preceding the date of this registration statement. All of the
shares of Common Stock of the Company previously issued have been issued for
investment purposes in a "private transaction" and are "restricted" shares as
defined in Rule 144 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. These shares
may not be offered for public sale except under Rule 144, or otherwise, pursuant
to said Act.
As of the date of this report, all of the issued and
outstanding shares of the Company's Common Stock are eligible for sale under
Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, subject to
certain limitations included in said Rule.
In summary, Rule 144 applies to affiliates (that is, control
persons) and nonaffiliates when they resell restricted securities (those
purchased from the issuer or an affiliate of the issuer in nonpublic
transactions). Nonaffiliates reselling restricted securities, as well as
affiliates selling restricted or nonrestricted securities, are not considered to
be engaged in a distribution and, therefore, are not deemed to be underwriters
as defined in Section 2(11), if six conditions are met:
(1) Current public information must be available about the issuer
unless sales are limited to those made by non-affiliates after
two years.
20.
<PAGE> 21
(2) When restricted securities are sold, generally there must be a
one-year holding period.
(3) When either restricted or nonrestricted securities are sold by
an affiliate after one year, there are limitations on the
amount of securities that may be sold; when restricted
securities are sold by non-affiliates between the first and
second years, there are identical limitations; after two
years, there are no volume limitations for resales by
non-affiliates.
(4) Except for sales of restricted securities made by
non-affiliates after two years, all sales must be made in
brokers' transactions as defined in Section 4(4) of the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or a transaction directly
with a "market maker" as that term is defined in Section
3(a)(38) of the 1934 Act.
(5) Except for sales of restricted securities made by
non-affiliates after two years, a notice of proposed sale must
be filed for all sales in excess of 500 shares or with an
aggregate sales price in excess of $10,000.
(6) There must be a bona fide intention to sell within a
reasonable time after the filing of the notice referred to in
(5) above.
Item 5. Indemnification of Directors and Officers.
Except for acts or omissions which involve intentional
misconduct, fraud or known violation of law or for the payment of dividends in
violation of Nevada Revised Statutes, there shall be no personal liability of a
director or officer to the Company, or its stockholders for damages for breach
of fiduciary duty as a director or officer. The Company may indemnify any person
for expenses incurred, including attorneys fees, in connection with their good
faith acts if they reasonably believe such acts are in and not opposed to the
best interests of the Company and for acts for which the person had no reason to
believe his or her conduct was unlawful. The Company may indemnify the officers
and directors for expenses incurred in defending a civil or criminal action,
suit or proceeding as they are incurred in advance of the final disposition of
the action, suit or proceeding, upon receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf
of the director or officer to repay the amount of such expenses if it is
ultimately determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in which the action
or suit is brought determined that such person is fairly and reasonably entitled
to indemnification for such expenses which the court deems proper.
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the
1933 Act may be permitted to officers, directors or persons controlling the
Company pursuant to the foregoing, the Company has been informed that in the
opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is
against public policy as
21.
<PAGE> 22
expressed in the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and is therefore
unenforceable.

[LETTERHEAD]
INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT
Board Of Directors January 4, 1999
N.E.C. Properties, Inc.
Las Vegas, Nevada
I have audited the Balance Sheets of N.E.C. Properties, Inc., (A
Development Stage Company), as of December 31, 1998, December 31, 1997, and
December 31, 1996, and the related Statements of Operations, Stockholders'
Equity and Cash Flows for the three years ended December 31, 1998, December 31,
1997, and December 31, 1996. These financial statements are the responsibility
of the Company's management. My responsibility is to express an opinion on these
financial statements based on my audit.
I conducted my audit in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that I plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes
assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by
management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.
I believe that my audit provides a reasonable basis for my opinion.
In my opinion, the financial statements referred to above present
fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of N.E.C. Properties,
Inc., (A Development Stage Company), at December 31, 1998, December 31, 1997,
and December 31, 1996, and the results of its operations and cash flows for the
three years ended December 31, 1998, December 31, 1997, and December 31, 1996,
in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming the
Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note #3 to the
financial statements, the Company has no established source of revenue. This
raises substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern.
Management's plan in regard to these matters are also described in Note #3. The
financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the
outcome of this uncertainty.

(A Development Stage Company)
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
December 31, 1998, December 31, 1997, and December 31, 1996
NOTE 1 - HISTORY AND ORGANIZATION OF THE COMPANY
The Company was organized June 16, 1995, under the laws of the State of
Nevada, as N.E.C. Properties, Inc. The Company currently has no operations and,
in accordance with SFAS #7, is considered a development stage company.
On June 30, 1995, the company issued 18,600 shares of its no par value
common stock for cash of $1,860.
On November 19, 1998, the State of Nevada approved the Company's
restated Articles of Incorporation, which increased its capitalization from
25,000 common shares to 25,000,000 common shares. The par value was changed from
no par value to $0.001.
On November 19, 1998, the Company forward split its common stock 100:1,
thus increasing the number of outstanding common stock shares from 18,600 to
1,860,000 shares.
NOTE 2. - ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND PROCEDURES
Accounting policies and procedures have not been determined except as
follows:
1. The Company uses the accrual method of accounting.
2. Earnings per share is computed using the weighted average number of
common shares outstanding.
3. The Company has not yet adopted any policy regarding payment of
dividends. No dividends have been paid since inception.
NOTE 3 - GOING CONCERN
The Company's financial statements are prepared using the generally
accepted accounting principles applicable to a going concern, which contemplates
the realization of assets and liquidation of liabilities in the normal course of
business. However, the Company has no current source of revenue. Without
realization of additional capital, it would be unlikely for the Company to
continue as a going concern. It is management's plan to seek additional capital
through a merger with an existing operating company.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS CONTINUED
December 31, 1998, December 31, 1997, and December 31, 1996
NOTE 4 - RELATED PARTY TRANSACTION
The Company neither owns or leases any real or personal property. Office
services are provided without charge by an officer. Such costs are immaterial to
the financial statements and, accordingly, have not been reflected therein. The
officers and directors of the Company are involved in other business activities
and may, in the future, become involved in other business opportunities. If a
specific business opportunity becomes available, such persons may face a

the ultimate direction of the Board.

a Director, including the duties as a member of any committee of the Board upon

under similar circumstances.

successor has been elected and qualified.

by a majority of the remaining Directors, though less than a quorum, or by a

which the meetings of the Directors are regularly held. In case such notice is
mailed, it shall be deposited in the United States mail, postage prepaid, in the
place in which the principal executive officer of the corporation is located at
