Notes to Financial Statements
NOTE A - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies:
Organization
cmerun, inc. (the "Company") changed its name from Fundae Corporation on
December 2, 1999. The Company (a development stage company) began as a Florida
Corporation organized March 16, 1995 to sell chocolate malts, flavorings and
related products. The Company failed in its attempt to implement its initial
business plan and during June 1996 abandoned its efforts. The Company had no
operations for the period prior to June 1996. The Company was inactive and there
were no transactions from June 1996 to the date of reinstatement by the State of
Florida on December 1, 1998 that affect the balances reflected in the financial
statements as of December 1, 1998.
On December 9, 1999, cmerun, inc. (Florida) formed a wholly owned
subsidiary corporation named Fundae Acquisition Corporation. On that same date,
cmerun, inc. and Fundae Acquisition Corporation entered into a Plan and
Agreement of Merger providing that on December 13, 1999, or as soon as
practicable thereafter, the two entities would merge into Fundae Acquisition
Corporation and that the separate existence of cmerun, inc. would cease. On
December 29, 1999, the Certificate of Merger reflecting such transaction was
filed with the Secretary of State of Delaware. On January 5, 2000, the
Certificate of Merger was filed with the Secretary of State of Florida, and the
merger became effective. The Plan and Agreement of Merger provided that on the
effective date of the merger each outstanding share of common stock of the
Company would be converted into five shares of Fundae Acquisition Corporation
common stock, $.001 par value. As a result of the forward stock split, the
total issued and outstanding shares of the Company was 7,000,000.
Accounting Method
The Company's financial statements are prepared using the accrual method
of accounting. The Company has elected a September 30 year end.
Start - Up Costs
Start - up and organization costs are being expensed as incurred.
Loss Per Share
The computation of loss per share of common stock is based on the weighted
average number of shares outstanding at the date of the financial statements.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and
assumptions that affect certain reported amounts and disclosures. Accordingly,
actual results could differ from those estimates.
<PAGE> 7
Interim Financial Statements
The December 31, 1999 interim financial statements include all
adjustments, which in the opinion of management are necessary in order to make
the financial statements not misleading.
Note B - Stockholders' Equity:
On March 16, 1995, the Company issued 500,000 shares of common stock, in
lieu of cash, for the fair market value of services rendered by its initial
officer - stockholder. On or about December 1, 1998, third parties purchased
the shares from the initial officer - stockholder. On or about December 1,
1998, the Company issued 500,000 shares of its common stock to its sole officer
in exchange for services valued at $12,500. Subsequently, the same third
parties purchased at $0.05 per share, 400,000 shares of the common stock of the
Company in a private placement pursuant to Regulation D of the Securities and
Exchange Commission.
On January 5, 2000, the Company completed its reincorporation to Delaware
by means of a merger with its wholly owned subsidiary, Fundae Acquisition
Corporation with Fundae Acquisition Corporation being the surviving entity. In
the merger, holders of cmerun, inc. common stock received five shares of common
stock of Fundae Acquisition Corporation for each share of the Company's common
stock they held on January 5, 2000. Any resulting fractional Fundae
Acquisition Corporation common stock interests were rounded up to the next
highest number of whole shares.
At December 31, 1999, the Company had authorized 50,000,000 shares of
$.001 par value common stock and had 1,400,000 shares of common stock issued
and outstanding. In addition, the Company authorized 10,000,000 shares of
preferred stock with the specific terms; conditions, limitations and
preferences to be determined by the Board of Directors. None of the preferred
stock is issued and outstanding.
Note C - Income Taxes:
The Company has a net operating loss carry forward of $32,500 that may be
offset against future taxable income. If not used, the carry forward will
expire in 2019.
Note D - Going Concern:
The Company's financial statements are prepared using generally accepted
accounting principles applied to a going concern which contemplates the
realization of assets and liquidation of liabilities in the normal course of
business. The Company has incurred losses from its inception through December
31, 1999. It has not established revenues sufficient to cover operating costs
and to allow it to continue as a going concern. Management plans currently
provide for experts to secure a successful acquisition or merger partner so
that it will be able to continue as a going concern. In the event such efforts
are unsuccessful, contingent plans have been arranged to provide that the
current Director of the Company is to fund required future filings under the 34
Act, and existing shareholders have expressed an interest in additional funding
if necessary to continue the Company as a going concern.
Note E - Subsequent Events
On January 5, 2000, the Certificate of Merger for the merger of Fundae
Acquisition Corporation and cmerun, inc. was filed with the Secretary of State
of Florida, and the merger became effective. The plan and agreement of merger
provided that each outstanding share of common stock of cmerun, inc. would be
converted into five shares of Fundae Acquisition Corporation common stock, $.001
par value. As a result, the total issued and outstanding shares of the Company
was 7,000,000.
On January 31, 2000 an agreement and plan of merger was signed between
Fundae Acquisition Corporation, Fundae Merger Sub, Inc. and C Me Run Corp.
C Me Run Corp. merged with Fundae
<PAGE> 8
Merger Sub, Inc. and became a wholly owned subsidiary of Fundae Acquisition
Corporation. Subsequently, on the same date, C Me Run Corp. merged with Fundae
Acquisition Corporation, with C Me Run Corp. being the surviving entity. As
part of these transactions, all shareholders of C Me Run Corp. exchanged each
type of securities held in C Me Run Corp. for an equivalent number of securities
of the same type in Fundae Acquisition Corporation. All shares of Fundae Merger
Sub, Inc. were also exchanged on a one for one basis for the shares of Fundae
Acquisition Corporation. At the completion of this transaction, the Company had
7,334,333 shares issued and outstanding.
Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
Results of Operation
The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the Condensed
Financial Statements and Notes thereto appearing elsewhere in this report.
Overview
The Company was organized on March 16, 1995, under the laws of the State of
Florida, having the stated purpose of engaging in any lawful activities. The
Company was formed with the contemplated purpose to sell chocolate malts,
flavoring and related products. The business concept and plan was based upon
information obtained by the incorporator several years before while working for
an unrelated company with the same concept and business plan. The incorporator
and sole shareholder was unable to obtain the cooperation and assistance of
workers and investors to implement the proposed plan. The primary area of sales
was to be in Florida, but was never brought to the development stage. After
development of a business plan and efforts to develop the business failed, all
efforts were abandoned in 1996. At that time, the Company was unable to obtain
the necessary supply contracts for its product line, was unable to obtain the
necessary financing, therefore was unable to operate. Since its inception, the
Company has conducted minimal business operations except for organizational and
capital raising activities. The Company has not realized any revenues since its
inception due to the fact that its former executive, Mr. Dervaes had been
primarily engaged in organizational and promotional activities on behalf of the
Company. As a result, from inception through December 31, 1999, the Company had
$0.00 revenue. Total Company operations and operating expenses as of December
31, 1999 were $33,500,000.
The Company never engaged in an active trade or business throughout the
period from 1996 until just recently. The Company charter was suspended
(subject to reinstatement) by the State of Florida in 1996 for inactivity and
failure to pay annual fees and costs. Its active status was reinstated on
December 1, 1998, upon payment of all past due fees and costs. On December 1,
1998, the Company also determined it should become active in seeking potential
operating businesses and business opportunities with the intent to acquire or
merge with such businesses. The Company then began to consider and investigate
potential business opportunities. Its principal business purpose was to locate
and consummate a merger or acquisition with a private entity. The Company was
considered a development stage company and, due to its status as a "shell"
corporation, management planned to investigate, research and, if justified,
potentially acquire or merge with one or more businesses or business
opportunities.
<PAGE> 9
On January 5, 2000, the Company completed its reincorporation to Delaware
by means of a merger with its wholly owned subsidiary, Fundae Acquisition
Corporation with Fundae Acquisition Corporation being the surviving entity. In
the merger, holders of cmerun, inc. common stock received five shares of common
stock of Fundae Acquisition Corporation for each share of the Company's common
stock they held on January 5, 2000. Any resulting fractional Fundae Acquisition
Corporation common stock interests were rounded up to the next highest number of
whole shares.
Employees
As of December 31, 1999, the Company did not have any employees and had
no plans for retaining employees until such time as the Company successfully
acquired or merged with an operating business.
Industry Segments
No information is presented regarding industry segments. As of December
31, 1999, the Company is presently a development stage company.
Financial Condition, Capital Resources and Liquidity
At September 30, 1999, the Company had assets totaling $62.00 and an
accumulated deficit of ($33,438.00) attributable to accrued legal expenses,
organization expenses and professional fees. Since the Company's inception, it
has received $20,000.00 in cash contributed as consideration for the issuance
of shares of Common Stock.
As of December 31, 1999, the Company had no assets and an accumulated
deficit of ($33,500,000) attributable to accrued legal expenses and professional
fees.
Net Operating Losses
The Company has net operating loss carry-forwards of $33,500.00 expiring
in 2019. The Company may not be able to utilize such carry-forwards as the
Company has no history of profitable operations.
<PAGE> 10
Subsequent Events
On December 2, 1999, C Me Run Corp., C Me Run (Alberta) Ltd. and CMERUN
Acquisition Corp. entered into an Acquisition Agreement whereby C Me Run Corp.,
directly or indirectly through its wholly owned subsidiary CMERUN Acquisition
Corp., would acquire all 2,650,000 common shares issued and outstanding of C Me
Run (Alberta) Ltd. and any outstanding options at the time of conversion.
On November 8, 1999 C Me Run Corp. sold 1,000 shares of Common Stock at a
price of $1.00.
On January 12, 2000, C Me Run Corp. sold 2,000,000 shares of Series A

stock at a price of $1.00 per share.
On January 28, 2000, C Me Run Corp. sold 2,333,333 shares of Series B

this sale, the Company issued Warrants to purchase 1,800,000 shares of common
stock at a price of $2.50 per share.
Mergers
On January 31, 2000 an agreement and plan of merger was signed between
Fundae Acquisition Corporation, Fundae Merger Sub, Inc. and C Me Run Corp. C Me
Run Corp. merged with Fundae Merger Sub, Inc. and became a wholly owned
subsidiary of Fundae Acquisition Corporation. Subsequently, on the same date, C
Me Run Corp. merged with Fundae Acquisition Corporation, with C Me Run Corp.
being the surviving entity. As part of these transactions, all shareholders of C
Me Run Corp. exchanged each type of securities held in C Me Run Corp. for an
equivalent number of securities of the same type in Fundae Acquisition
Corporation. All shares of Fundae Merger Sub, Inc. were also exchanged on a one
for one basis for the shares of Fundae Acquisition Corporation. At the
completion of this transaction, the Company had 7,334,333 shares issued and
outstanding.

Risk Factors
Solvency of the Company. The Company has incurred significant losses. The
Company is subject to a lawsuit as described under "Legal Proceedings". The
Company may require additional financing in order to carry on its business.
There can be no assurance that such financing will be available or, if
available, will be upon terms satisfactory to the Company.
Dependence on Key Personnel. The success of the Company is highly dependent on
the efforts and abilities of its directors, officers and employees. The
unexpected loss or departure of any of the Company's key directors, officers or
employees could be detrimental to the future operations of the Company. The
success of the Company's business will depend, in part, upon its ability to
attract and retain qualified personnel, as they are needed. There can be no
assurance that The Company will be able to engage the services of such
personnel or retain its current personnel.
Dividends and Cash Flow. The Company has a limited history and currently does
not have any operating business. The Corporation has no present intention to
pay dividends to the holders of its Common Shares.
Risks Related to Possible Acquisitions. The Company may expand its operations
through the acquisition of additional businesses. There can be no assurance
that the Company will be able to identify, acquire or profitably manage
additional businesses or successfully integrate any acquired businesses into
the Company without substantial expenses, delays or other operational or
financial problems. Further, acquisitions may involve a number of special
risks or effects, including diversion of management's attention, failure to
retain key acquired personnel, unanticipated events or circumstances, legal
liabilities and amortization of acquired intangible assets and other one-time
or ongoing acquisition related expenses, some or all of which could have a
material adverse effect on the Company business, operating results and
financial condition. Client satisfaction or performance problems of a single
acquired firm could have a material adverse impact on the reputation of the
<PAGE> 12
Company as a whole. In addition, there can be no assurance that the acquired
businesses, if any, will achieve anticipated revenues and earnings. The failure
of the Company to arrange its acquisition strategy successfully could have a
material adverse effect upon the Company's business, operating results and
financial condition.
Limited Trading History of The Company Common Shares; Stock Price Volatility.
The market price of the Company's Common Shares could continue to fluctuate
substantially due to a variety of factors, including quarterly fluctuations in
results of operations, adverse circumstances affecting the introduction of
market acceptance of new products and services offered by the Company,
announcements of new products and services by competitors, changes in the
information technology environment, changes in earnings estimates by analysts,
changes in accounting principles, sales of the Company's Common Shares by
existing holders, loss of key personnel and other factors. The market price for
the Company's Common Shares may also be affected by the Company's ability to
meet analysts' expectations, and any failure to meet such expectations, even if
minor, could have a material adverse effect on the market price of the Company's
Common Shares. In addition, the stock market is subject to extreme price and
volume fluctuations. This volatility has had a significant effect on the market
prices of securities issued by many companies for reasons unrelated to the
operating performance of these companies. In the past, following periods of
volatility in the market price of a company's securities, securities class
action litigation has often been instituted against such a company. Any such
litigation instigated against the Company could result in substantial costs and
a diversion of management's attention and resources, which could have a material
adverse effect upon the Company's business, operating results and financial
condition.
Creditworthiness of Clients. The value of the Company's computer equipment,
software, and intellectual property thereto may depend on the credit and
financial stability of the Company's customers. The Company's projected income
would be adversely affected if a significant number of customers were unable to
meet their obligations to the Company or if the Company were unable to continue
to collect its accounts receivables. In the event of default by customers, the
Company may experience delays in enforcing its rights as a vendor and may incur
substantial costs in protecting its investment.
Start-Up Company. The business of the Company should be considered highly
speculative due to its present stage of development. The Company does not have
a history of earnings nor has it sufficiently diversified such that it can
mitigate the risks associated with its planned activities. The Company has
limited cash and other assets and a limited business history. Securityholders
must rely solely upon the ability, expertise, judgement, discretion, integrity
and good faith of the Company's management in all aspects of the development
and implementation of the Company's business strategy.
Speculative Nature of Computer Business. The acquisition and management of
computer services may result in a failure to produce income or revenue.
Moreover, the industry is subject to significant risk factors including changes
in general economic conditions, competition from other properties, the failure
of customers to meet their obligations and other operating costs.
Competition. The market for information technology services is very competitive
because of a large number of competitors and the rapidly changing environment.
Many of the competitors may have significantly greater financial, technical and
marketing resources and greater name recognition than C Me Run
<PAGE> 13
Corp. There can be no assurances that the Company will compete successfully
with its existing competitors or with any new competitors.
Tradename. While the Company is attempting to qualify, under a trademark, its
name throughout the U.S., significant issues may be present as to the ability to
widely use the name in connection with the products or services to be rendered
by the Company.
Rapid Technological Change; Dependence on New Solutions. The Company's success
will depend in part on its ability to develop information technology solutions
that keep pace with continuing changes in information technology, evolving
industry standards and changing client preferences. There can be no assurance
that the Company will be successful in adequately addressing these developments
on a timely basis or that, if these developments are addressed, the Company will
be successful in the marketplace. In addition, there can be no assurance that
products or technologies developed by others will not render the Company's
services uncompetitive or obsolete. The Company's failure to address these
developments could have a material adverse effect on the Company's business,
operating results and financial conditions.
Attraction and Retention of Employees. The Company's business involves the
delivery of professional services and is labor-intensive. The Company's success
depends in large part upon its ability to attract, develop, motivate and retain
highly skilled technical employees. Qualified technical employees are in great
demand and are likely to remain a limited resource for the foreseeable future.
There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to attract and retain
sufficient numbers of highly skilled technical employees in the future. The
Company has historically experienced turnover rates which it believes are
consistent with industry norms. An increase in this rate could have a material
adverse effect on the Company's business, operating results and financial
condition, including its ability to secure and complete engagements.
Dividends. Since incorporation, the Company has not paid any dividends on its
outstanding the Company's Common Shares and has no present intention to pay
dividends thereon.
Possible Volatility of Securities Prices. The Stock market has from time to
time experienced significant price and volume fluctuations that may be
unrelated to the operating performance of any particular company. The market
prices of the securities of many publicly-traded companies in the computer
industry have in the past been and can be expected in the future to be
especially volatile. Factors such as the Company's operating results,
announcements by the Company or its competitors concerning technological
innovations, new products or systems may have a significant impact on the
market price of the Company's securities.
Forward-Looking Statements
This Form 10-QSB includes "forward-looking statements" within the meaning
of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of
the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. All statements, other than
statements of historical facts, included or incorporated by reference in this
Form 10-QSB which address activities, events or developments which the Company
expects or anticipates will or may occur in the future, including such things
as future capital expenditures (including the amount and nature thereof),
finding suitable merger or acquisition candidates, expansion and growth of the
Company's business and operations, and other such matters are forward-looking
statements. These statements are based on certain assumptions and analyses
made by the Company in light of its experience and its perception of historical
trends, current conditions and expected future developments as well as other
factors it believes are appropriate in the circumstances.
<PAGE> 14
However, whether actual results or developments will conform with the Company's
expectations and predictions is subject to a number of risks and uncertainties,
general economic market and business conditions; the business opportunities (or
lack thereof) that may be presented to and pursued by the Company; changes in
laws or regulation; and other factors, most of which are beyond the control of
the Company. Consequently, all of the forward-looking statements made in this
Form 10-QSB are qualified by these cautionary statements and there can be no
assurance that the actual results or developments anticipated by the Company
will be realized or, even if substantially realized, that they will have the
expected consequence to or effects on the Company or its business or
operations. The Company assumes no obligations to update any such
forward-looking statements.
PART II
Item 1. Legal Proceedings.
During the process of the merger with C Me Run Corp., a Delaware corporation,
and C Me Run (Alberta) Ltd., the Company, was served with a lawsuit by
FutureLink Corp., FutureLink Distribution Corp. and FutureLink Micro Visions
Corp. ("FutureLink").
The FutureLink lawsuit, which was filed on January 20, 2000 in the Court of
Queen's Bench Alberta, Judicial District of Calgary, Action #0001-01111 alleges
that certain C Me Run Corp. employees have conspired to appropriate a corporate
opportunity from FutureLink and use it to their own advantage. FutureLink
alleges that C Me Run Corp. is the same business concept, which was developed
by the individuals named in the lawsuit while they were at FutureLink, using
that company's facilities. The Plaintiff is seeking a permanent injunction
restraining C Me Run Corp. and its subsidiaries from carrying on business
related to said project. As well, the Plaintiff is seeking a judgment in the
amount of CDN $80,000,000 and the ownership of all shares of C Me Run held by
the Defendants.
The Company has defended FutureLink's lawsuit and has filed a counterclaim
against FutureLink for $126M CDN for unlawful interference with economic
interests and interference with contractual relations.
Item 2. Changes in Securities and Use of Proceeds

SECTION 2.01. Conversion of Securities. At the Effective Time, by virtue of
the Merger and without any action on the part of Merger Sub, the Company or the
holders of any of the following securities:
(a) each share of common stock, par value $.01 per share, of the Company
(the "Company Common Stock") issued and outstanding immediately prior to the
<PAGE> 4
3
Effective Time (other than any Company Common Stock to be cancelled pursuant to
Section 2.01(d) or constituting Dissenting Shares) shall be canceled and shall
be converted, subject to Section 2.02(e), into the right to receive one share
(the "Exchange Ratio") of common stock, par value $.001 per share, of the Parent
(the "Parent Common Stock"); provided, however, that, if between the date of
this Agreement and the Effective Time the outstanding shares of Parent Common
Stock shall have been changed into a different number of shares or a different
class, by reason of any stock dividend, subdivision, reclassification,
recapitalization, split, combination or exchange of shares, the Exchange Ratio
shall be correspondingly adjusted to the extent appropriate to reflect such
stock dividend, subdivision, reclassification, recapitalization, split,
combination or exchange of shares;
(b) each share of the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, par value
$0.001 per share, of the Company (the "Company Series A") issued and outstanding
prior to the Effective Time (other than any Company Series A constituting
Dissenting Shares) shall be canceled and shall be converted into the right to
receive one share of the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, par value $.01
per share, of Parent (the "New Series A").
(c) each share of the Series B Convertible Preferred Stock, par value
$0.001 per share, of the Company (the "Company Series B") issued and outstanding
prior to the Effective Time (other than any Company Series B constituting
Dissenting Shares) (all issued and outstanding shares of Company Common Stock,
Company Series A and Company Series B being hereinafter collectively referred to
as "Shares") shall be canceled and shall be converted into the right to receive
one share of the Series B Convertible Preferred Stock, par value $.01 per share,
of Parent (the "New Series B," and together with the Parent Common Stock and the
New Series A, the "Merger Consideration").
(d) each Share held in the treasury of the Company and each Share owned by
Parent or any direct or indirect wholly owned subsidiary of Parent or of the
Company immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be cancelled and
extinguished without any conversion thereof and no payment or distribution shall
be made with respect thereto; and
(e) each share of common stock, par value $.001 per share, of Merger Sub
issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be
converted into and exchanged for one validly issued, fully paid and
nonassessable share of common stock, par value $.01 per share, of the Surviving
Corporation and shall forthwith cease to exist and be deemed cancelled.
SECTION 2.02. Exchange of Certificates. (a) Exchange Procedures. At the
Closing, the Company shall surrender to Parent all certificates representing
Shares (other than Dissenting Shares) (the "Certificates") delivered to it
(together with any stock transfer tax stamps required by reason of the payment
of the Merger Consideration to a person other than the registered holder of the
Certificate surrendered), together with such other customary documents as may
reasonably be required by Parent, in exchange for the Merger Consideration. The
<PAGE> 5
4
Certificates are being issued without registration under the Securities Act of
1933, as amended (together with the rules and regulations promulgated
thereunder, the "Securities Act"), and shall bear any legend required under
applicable securities laws. Immediately following the Effective Time, all
Certificates surrendered to Parent shall be canceled. Any shareholder of the
Company whose Certificates are not delivered at the Closing shall receive the
Merger Consideration with respect to such Certificates upon delivery to Parent
after the Closing of such Certificates and the other items required pursuant to
the first sentence of this Section 2.02(a).
(b) Distributions with Respect to Unexchanged Shares of Parent Common
Stock. No dividends or other distributions declared or made after the Effective
Time with respect to the Parent Common Stock with a record date after the
Effective Time shall be paid to the holder of any unsurrendered Certificate with
respect to the shares of Parent Common Stock represented thereby, and no cash
payment in lieu of any fractional shares shall be paid to any such holder
pursuant to Section 2.02(d), until the holder of such Certificate shall
surrender such Certificate.
(c) No Further Rights in Company Common Stock. All shares of Parent Common
Stock issued upon conversion of the Company Common Stock in accordance with the
terms hereof (including any cash paid pursuant to Section 2.02(b) or (d)) shall
be deemed to have been issued in full satisfaction of all rights pertaining to
such Company Common Stock.
(d) No Fractional Shares. No certificate or scrip representing fractional
shares of Parent Common Stock shall be issued upon the surrender for exchange of
Certificates, and such fractional share interests will not entitle the owner
thereof to vote or to any other rights of a shareholder of Parent. Each holder
of a fractional share interest shall be paid an amount in cash (without
interest) equal to the product obtained by multiplying (i) such fractional share
interest to which such holder (after taking into account all fractional share
interests then held by such holder) would otherwise be entitled by (ii) the
average of the per share closing prices on the OTC Bulletin Board (the "OTC") of
shares of Parent Common Stock during the 20 consecutive trading days ending on
(and including) the trading day immediately preceding the date of the Effective
Time. As promptly as practicable after the determination of the amount of cash,
if any, to be paid to holders of fractional share interests, the Parent shall
forward payments to such holders of fractional share interests subject to and in
accordance with the terms of Sections 2.02(b).
(e) No Liability. Neither Parent nor the Surviving Corporation shall be
liable to any holder of Shares for any such Shares (or dividends or
distributions with respect thereto), or cash delivered to a public official
pursuant to any abandoned property, escheat or similar Law.
(f) Withholding Rights. Each of the Surviving Corporation and Parent shall
be entitled to deduct and withhold from the consideration otherwise payable
pursuant to this Agreement to any holder of Shares such amounts as it is
required to deduct and withhold with
<PAGE> 6
5
respect to the making of such payment under the Code, or any provision of state,
local or foreign tax law. To the extent that amounts are so withheld by the
Surviving Corporation or Parent, as the case may be, such withheld amounts shall
be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the holder
of Shares in respect of which such deduction and withholding was made by the
Surviving Corporation or Parent, as the case may be.
(g) Lost Certificates. If any Certificate shall have been lost, stolen or
destroyed, upon the making of an affidavit of that fact by the person claiming
such Certificate to be lost, stolen or destroyed and, if required by the
Surviving Corporation, the posting by such person of a bond, in such reasonable
amount as the Surviving Corporation may direct, as indemnity against any claim
that may be made against it with respect to such Certificate, the Parent will
issue in exchange for such lost, stolen or destroyed Certificate the Merger
Consideration, any cash in lieu of fractional shares of Parent Common Stock to
which the holders thereof are entitled pursuant to Section 2.02(d) and any
dividends or other distributions to which the holders thereof are entitled
pursuant to Section 2.02(f).
SECTION 2.03. Stock Transfer Books. At the Effective Time, the stock
transfer books of the Company shall be closed and there shall be no further
registration of transfers of Shares thereafter on the records of the Company.
From and after the Effective Time, the holders of Certificates representing
Shares outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall cease to have
any rights with respect to such Shares, except as otherwise provided in this
Agreement or by Law.
SECTION 2.04. Company Stock Options and Warrants. (a) All options and
warrants (the "Company Stock Options and Warrants") outstanding, whether or not
exercisable and whether or not vested, at the Effective Time, shall remain
outstanding following the Effective Time. At the Effective Time, the Company
Stock Options and Warrants shall, by virtue of the Merger and without any
further action on the part of the Company or the holder thereof, be assumed by
Parent in such manner that Parent (i) is a corporation "assuming a stock option
in a transaction to which Section 424(a) applies" within the meaning of Section
424 of the Code and the regulations thereunder or (ii) to the extent that
Section 424 of the Code does not apply to any such Company Stock Option and/or
Warrant, would be such a corporation were Section 424 of the Code applicable to
such Company Stock Option and/or Warrant. Each Company Stock Option and Warrant
assumed by Parent (each, a "Substitute Option and Warrant") shall be exercisable
upon the same terms and conditions as under the applicable option and/or warrant
agreement issued thereunder, except that (A) each such Substitute Option and
Warrant shall be exercisable for, and represent the right to acquire, that whole
number of shares of Parent Common Stock (rounded up or down to the nearest whole
share) equal to the number of shares of Company Common Stock subject to such
Company Stock Option and/or Warrant multiplied by the Exchange Ratio; and (B)
the option or warrant price per share of Parent Common Stock shall be an amount
equal to the option or warrant price per share of Company Common Stock subject
to such Company Stock Option and/or Warrant in effect immediately
<PAGE> 7
6
prior to the Effective Time divided by the Exchange Ratio (the option or warrant
price per share, as so determined, being rounded upward to the nearest full
cent).
(b) As soon as practicable after the Effective Time, Parent shall deliver
to each holder of an outstanding Company Stock Option and/or Warrant an
appropriate notice setting forth such holder's rights pursuant thereto and such
Company Stock Option and/or Warrant shall continue in effect on the same terms
and conditions (including any antidilution provisions, and subject to the
adjustments required by this Section 2.04 after giving effect to the Merger).
Parent shall comply with the terms of all such Company Stock Options and
Warrants and ensure that Company Stock Options and Warrants which qualified as
incentive stock options under Section 422 of the Code prior to the Effective
Time continue to qualify as incentive stock options after the Effective Time.
Parent shall take all corporate action necessary to reserve for issuance a
sufficient number of shares of Parent Common Stock for delivery upon exercise of
Substitute Options and/or Warrants pursuant to the terms set forth in this
Section 2.04. As soon as practicable, but in no event more than 5 business days,
after the Effective Time, the shares of Parent Common Stock subject to Company
Stock Options and Warrants will be covered by an effective registration
statement on Form S-8 (or any successor form) or another appropriate form, and
Parent shall use its reasonable efforts to maintain the effectiveness of such
registration statement or registration statements for so long as Substitute
Options and Warrants remain outstanding. In addition, Parent shall use all
reasonable efforts to cause the shares of Parent Common Stock subject to Company
Stock Options and Warrants to be listed on the OTC and such other exchanges as
Parent shall determine.
SECTION 2.05. Dissenting Shares. (a) Notwithstanding any provision of this
Agreement to the contrary, Dissenting Shares shall not be converted into or
represent a right to receive shares of the Merger Consideration pursuant to
Section 2.01, but the holder thereof shall only be entitled to such rights as
are granted by the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware.
(b) Notwithstanding the provisions of subsection (a), if any holder of
Dissenting Shares shall effectively withdraw or lose (through failure to perfect
or otherwise) such holder's dissenters' rights, then, as of the later of
Effective Time or the occurrence of such event, such holder's shares shall
automatically be converted into and represent only the right to receive the
applicable shares of the Merger Consideration, without interest thereon, upon
surrender of the certificate or certificates representing such Dissenting
Shares.
(c) The Company shall give Parent (i) prompt notice of any written demands
received by the Company to require the Company to purchase shares of capital
stock of the Company, withdrawals of such demands, and any other instruments
served pursuant to the dissenters' rights provisions of the General Corporation
Law of the State of Delaware and received by the Company and (ii) the
opportunity to participate in all negotiations and proceedings with respect to
such demands. The Company shall not, except with the prior written
<PAGE> 8
7
consent of Parent, voluntarily make any payment with respect to any such demands
or offer to settle or settle any such demands.

REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF PARENT AND MERGER SUB
Except as set forth in the Disclosure Schedule delivered by Parent and
Merger Sub to the Company concurrently with the execution of this Agreement (the
"Parent Disclosure Schedule") and the Parent SEC Reports (as defined in Section
4.07), Parent and Merger Sub hereby jointly and severally represent and warrant
to the Company that:
SECTION 4.01. Organization and Qualification; Subsidiaries. Each of Parent
and each subsidiary of Parent (the "Parent Subsidiaries") is a corporation duly
incorporated, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the
jurisdiction of its incorporation and has all corporate requisite power and
authority and all necessary governmental approvals to own, lease and operate its
properties and to carry on its business as it is now being conducted, except
where the failure to be so organized, existing or in good standing or to have
such corporate power, authority and governmental approvals have not had, and
could not reasonably be expected to have, individually or in the aggregate, a
Parent Material Adverse Effect (as defined below). Each of Parent and the Parent
Subsidiaries is duly qualified or licensed as a foreign corporation to do
business, and is in good standing, in each jurisdiction where the character of
the properties owned, leased or operated by it or the nature of its business
makes such qualification or licensing necessary, except for such failures to be
so qualified or licensed and in good standing that have not had, and could not
reasonably be expected to have, individually or in the aggregate, a Parent
Material Adverse Effect. The term "Parent Material Adverse Effect" means any
change in or effect on the business of Parent and the Parent Subsidiaries that
is materially adverse to the financial condition or results of operations of
Parent and the Parent Subsidiaries taken as a whole, except for any such changes
or effects resulting from or in connection with (i) this Agreement or the
transactions contemplated by this Agreement or the announcement hereof, (ii) any
changes in economic, regulatory or political conditions or (iii) any issue or
condition otherwise known to the Company prior to the date of this Agreement.

heretofore made available to the Company a complete and correct copy of the
Certificate of Incorporation and the By-Laws of Parent and the Certificate of
Incorporation and By-Laws of Merger Sub. Such Certificates of Incorporation and
By-Laws are in full force and effect. Neither Parent nor
<PAGE> 16

Merger Sub is in violation of any of the provisions of its Certificate of
Incorporation or By-Laws.
SECTION 4.03. Capitalization. The authorized capital stock of Parent
consists of (a) 50,000,000 shares of Parent Common Stock and (b) 10,000,000

Stock"). As of the date of this Agreement, (i) 7,000,000 shares of the Parent
Common Stock are issued and outstanding, all of which are validly issued, fully
paid and non-assessable. Parent has filed with the Secretary of the State of
Delaware Certificates of Designation with respect to the New Series A with terms
substantially identical to the terms of the Company Series A, and Certificates
of Designation with respect to the New Series B with terms substantially
identical to the terms of the Company Series B. As of the date of this
Agreement, no shares of Parent Preferred Stock were issued and outstanding.
There are no options, warrants or other rights, agreements, arrangements or
commitments of any character relating to the issued or unissued capital stock of
Parent or any Parent Subsidiary or obligating Parent or any Parent Subsidiary to
issue or sell any shares of capital stock of, or other equity interests in,
Parent or any Parent Subsidiary. All shares of Parent Common Stock subject to
issuance as aforesaid, upon issuance on the terms and conditions specified in
the instruments pursuant to which they are issuable, will be duly authorized,
validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable. There are no outstanding
contractual obligations of Parent or any Parent Subsidiary to repurchase, redeem
or otherwise acquire any shares of Parent Common Stock or any capital stock of
any Parent Subsidiary. Immediately prior to the filing of this Agreement, Parent
intends to exercise a right to purchase for cancellation 4,000,000 Parent Common
Stock for $1.00. Each outstanding share of capital stock of each Parent
Subsidiary is duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable and
each such share owned by Parent or another Parent Subsidiary is free and clear
of all security interests, liens, claims, pledges, options, rights of first
refusal, agreements, limitations on Parent's or such other Parent Subsidiary's
voting rights, charges and other encumbrances of any nature whatsoever, except
where failure to own such shares free and clear would not, individually or in
the aggregate, have a Parent Material Adverse Effect. There are no material
outstanding contractual obligations of Parent or any Parent Subsidiary to
provide funds to, or make any investment (in the form of a loan, capital
contribution or otherwise) in, any Parent Subsidiary or any other person. The
authorized capital stock of Merger Sub consists of 1,000 shares of common stock,
par value $.001 per share, all of which are duly authorized, validly issued,
fully paid and non-assessable and free of any preemptive rights in respect
thereof and all of which are owned by Parent. The shares of Parent Common Stock
to be issued pursuant to the Merger in accordance with Section 2.01 (i) will be
duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable and not subject
to preemptive rights created by statute, the Parent's Certificate of
Incorporation or By-Laws or any agreement to which the Parent is a party or is
bound and (ii) will, when issued, be exempt from registration under the
