MARCH INDY INTERNATIONAL, INC.
(A Development Stage Company)
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
September 30, 1999, and December 31, 1998
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
company.
NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Accounting Method
The Company records income and expenses on the accrual method.
Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles requires management to
make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts
of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and
liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the
reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting
period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Cash and equivalents
The Company maintains a cash balance in a non-interest-bearing
bank that currently does not exceed federally insured limits. For
the purpose of the statements of cash flows, all highly liquid
investments with the maturity of three months or less are
considered to be cash equivalents. There are no cash equivalents
as of June 30, 1999.

NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
Income Taxes
Income taxes are provided for using the liability method of
accounting in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards No. 109 (SFAS #109) "Accounting for Income Taxes". A
deferred tax asset or liability is recorded for all temporary
difference between financial and tax reporting. Deferred tax
expense (benefit) results from the net change during the year of
deferred tax assets and liabilities.
Loss Per Share
Net loss per share is provided in accordance with Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 128 (SFAS #128) "Earnings Per
Share". Basic loss per share is computed by dividing losses
available to common stockholders by the weighted average number
of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted loss per
share reflects per share amounts that would have resulted if
dilative common stock equivalents had been converted to common
stock. As of June 30, 1999, the Company had no dilative common
stock equivalents such as stock options.
Year End
The Company has selected December 31st as its year-end.

NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
Year 2000 Disclosure
The year 2000 issue is the result of computer programs being
written using two digits rather than four to define the
applicable year. Computer programs that have time sensitive
software may recognize a date using "00" as the year 1900 rather
than the year 2000. This could result in a system failure or
miscalculations causing disruption of normal business activities.
Since the Company currently has no operating business and does
not use any computers, and since it has no customers, suppliers
or other constituents, there are no material Year 2000 concerns.
NOTE 3 - INCOME TAXES
There is no provision for income taxes for the period ended September
30, 1999, due to the net loss and no state income tax in Nevada, the
state of the Company's domicile and operations. The Company's total
deferred tax asset as of December 31, 1998, is as follows:
<TABLE>
<S> <C>
Net operation loss carry forward $2,220
Valuation allowance $2,220
Net deferred tax asset $ 0
</TABLE>
The federal net operating loss carry forward will expire in 2016 and
2018.
This carry forward may be limited upon the consummation of a business
combination under IRC Section 381.

On November 19, 1998, the Company forward split its common stock 100:1,
thus increasing the number of outstanding common stock shares from

NOTE 5 - GOING CONCERN
The Company's financial statements are prepared using 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 does not have significant cash
or other material assets, nor does it have an established source of
revenues sufficient to cover its operating costs and to allow it to
continue as a going concern. It is the intent of the Company to seek a
merger with an existing, operating company. Until that time, the
stockholders/officers and or directors have committed to advancing the
operating costs of the Company interest free.
