PART I
ITEM 1. DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS
A. BUSINESS DEVELOPMENT
1. FORM AND YEAR OF ORGANIZATION
The corporation was incorporated under the laws of the State of Utah,
on October 4, 1985, under the name of Mormon Mint, Inc. The corporation was
originally organized to manufacture and market commemorative medallions as
related to the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, the "Mormons." The
company was inactive for ten years. In 1998, the Company changed its name to
Capital Placement Specialists, Inc. as it began to seek new business
opportunities.
Pursuant to an Acquisition Agreement, dated January 5, 1999, Bekam
Investments, Ltd. ("Bekam") acquired one hundred percent (100%) of the common
shares of the company at that time; or 2,430,000 shares. Bekam subsequently spun
off the company by contributing the shares to the treasury of the Company. The
Company then changed its name to Converge Global, Inc. Converge Global, Inc.
("Converge" or the "Company") currently trades on the OTC Bulletin Board under
the trading symbol: CVRG.
B. BUSINESS OF ISSUER
The Company's business is focused in the globally emerging electronic
commerce ("e-commerce") industry. The Company is in the process of building
specialty portals catering to niche market segments, as well as building a
market that provides complete e-commerce solutions to other businesses. Portals
are defined as Internet infrastructures serving as entry points and destinations
for on line users. The Company plans to provide these e-commerce solutions with
specific emphasis on audio and video delivery over the Internet. The Company's
Internet address is: WWW.CONVERGECOM.COM.
1. PRINCIPAL PRODUCTS AND THE MARKET.
THE MARKET
THE INTERNET
International Data Corporation estimates that the number of users
accessing the Web will grow from 28 million in 1996 to 175 million in 2001 and
that the amount of commerce conducted over the Web will increase from
approximately $2.6 billion in 1996 to $220 billion in 2001. Growth in Internet
usage has been fueled by a number of factors, including the large and growing
base of personal computers installed in the workplace and home, advances in the
performance and speed of personal computers and modems, improvements in network
infrastructure, easier and cheaper access to the Internet and increased
awareness of the Internet among consumer and trade customers.

<PAGE>
THE PRODUCTS
The following is a summary of the Company's products and services
which evidence the Company's recent shift in creation and development of
Internet niche portals, with an emphasis on special Internet web sites. The
Company is in the process of developing audio and video delivery over the
Internet. The Company will design and implement each portal to meet the
tastes, interests and demands of its target audiences. The Company has
developed the content and design of DIGITALMEN.COM. Accordingly, it believes
that its Web site has been developed, in our opinion, and is relevant to the
male consumer between ages of 18-45. DIGITALMEN.COM is a Web site that is
targeted at men between the ages of 18 and 45. The Web site will feature
products and services in the areas of cars, bars, men's fashion, restaurants,
finance, dating, greeting cards, community chat and message boards.
DIGITALMEN.COM is the only service that the Company has offered as of the
date of this response.
The Internet Technology ("IT") industry is witnessing the onset of an
e-commerce explosion. Price Waterhouse in it's "Annual Technology Forecast"
predicts that by 2002, e-commerce is anticipated to generate $94 billion in
revenues. Further industry projections anticipate a significant influx of
e-merchants will flock to the Internet in 2000. In fact, by 2003 over 400,000 US
based e-merchants will have a presence on the World Wide Web. That is a 20 fold
increase from current figures reporting 17,500 on line e-merchants. The majority
of these e-merchants realize the advantages of portals, such as they once
realized the need to be in commercial districts and shopping centers.
E-MERCHANTS
One of the Company's services is providing E-Merchant services.
E-Merchants are increasingly realizing the ease of conducting business on the
World Wide Web.
The service that is currently offered by the Company is via its Web
site for DIGITALMEN.COM. DIGITALMEN.COM is a Web site that is targeted at men
between the ages of 18 and 45. The Web site will feature products and services
in the areas of cars, bars, men's fashion, restaurants, finance, dating,
greeting cards, community chat and message boards.
DIGITALMEN.COM is the only service that the Company has offered as of
the date of this response.

PORTAL SERVICES
Portals are defined as Internet infrastructures serving as entry points
and destinations for on line users. Currently, existing portals can be
overwhelming for the end user. The unavoidable portals control the sales and
marketing channels that reach on line consumers. Converge develops high quality,
attractive, easy to navigate specialty portals with user friendly interface
programmed with the most amateur Internet user in mind.
2. DISTRIBUTION
As discussed above, the Company's products and services are all
distributed via the Internet. The Company's intention is to increase awareness
and distribution of its products and site through both mainstream marketing
(billboards, radio, television, etc.) and Internet marketing (listing in various
search engines, banner ads on various sites, etc.)
3. STATUS OF ANY PUBLICLY ANNOUNCED NEW PRODUCT OR
SERVICE.
The Company launched its Website for Digitalmen.com on
November 1, 1999. Digitalmen.com, previously known as Gearz.com, continues to
include the same concepts geared towards identifying interests of men between
the ages of 18-45.
4. COMPETITION.
The online commerce industry, particularly on the Internet, is new,
rapidly evolving and intensely competitive, which the Company expects to
intensify in the future. Barriers to entry are minimal, allowing current and new
competitors to launch new Web sites at a relatively low cost. The company
currently or potentially competes with other companies which have e-commerce
websites. These competitors include Broadcast.Com, Amazon.com and Yahoo!
Amazon.com is a company with sales of over $610 million in 1998. Cumulative
customer accounts grew to 6.2 million at the end of 1998 for Amazon.com.
Broadcast.Com recently merged with Yahoo!. In its third quarter ending September
30, 1999, Yahoo! had net revenues of $155,078,000. During September 1999,
Yahoo!'s traffic was at an average of 385 million page views per day. The
Company has revenues of zero (or minimal revenues) for its last fiscal year and
does not match any of the above named companies in size or revenues at this
time.
5. SOURCES AND AVAILABILITY OF INFORMATION AND PRINCIPAL
SUPPLIERS.
4
<PAGE>
The majority of the content and development of products is done
internally. The sites are hosted through various Internet Service Providers. The
development of the of the products include the building of digitalmen.com which
consists of technical work consisting of HTML programming, designing database,
programming are all completed in house by the Company's computer programmers.
6. DEPENDENCE ON ONE OR A FEW MAJOR CUSTOMERS.
Not applicable.
7. PATENTS, TRADEMARKS, LICENSES, FRANCHISES,
CONCESSIONS, ROYALTY AGREEMENTS AND/OR LABOR CONTRACTS.
The Company filed its trademark application for the trademark
"Webfomercials" with the Patent and Trademark Office and is awaiting
registration of the mark. It has also applied to trademark its slogans
"solutions for the e-conomy" as well as "man's final destination."
8. GOVERNMENT APPROVAL.
No government approval is required for any of the Company's current
products or services.
9. EFFECT OF ANY EXISTING OR PROPOSED GOVERNMENT
REGULATIONS.
None.
10. RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT COSTS
Development costs are being absorbed since most of the research and
development is done internally by Converge's team. Any additional work incapable
of being completed by the Company will be sent to independent contractors.
11. COST AND EFFECTS OF COMPLIANCE WITH ENVIRONMENTAL
LAWS AND REGULATIONS
The Company is not involved in a business which involves the use of
materials in a manufacturing stage where such materials are likely to result in
the violation of any existing environmental rules and/or regulations. Further,
the Company does not own any real property which would lead to liability as a
land owner. Therefore, the Company does not anticipate that there will be any
costs associated with the compliance of environmental laws and regulations.
12. EMPLOYEES
As of the date hereof, the Company employs 8 full-time employees and 1
part-time employee. The Company hires independent contractors on an "as needed"
basis only. The Company has no collective bargaining agreements with its
employees. The Company believes that its employee relationships are
satisfactory. Long term, the Company will attempt to hire additional employees
as needed based on its growth rate.
ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OR PLAN OF OPERATION
These financial projections contain figures relating to plans,
expectations, future results, performance, events or other matters that are
"forward-looking statements" . When used in the Plan of Operations, words such
as "estimate", "project", "intend", "expect", "anticipate" and similar
expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements. Such forward
looking statements involve numerous risks and uncertainties, pertaining to
technology, development of the Company's products, and markets for such
products, timing and level of customer orders, competitive products and pricing,
changes in economic conditions and markets for the Company's products and other
risks and uncertainties.
5
<PAGE>
Actual results, performance and events are likely to differ and may differ
materially and adversely. Investors are cautioned not to place undue reliance on
these forward-looking statements which speak only as to the date of the Plan of
Operations.
These projections have not been prepared with a view toward complying
with published guidelines of the American Institute of Certified Public
Accountants. In addition, the Company's independent auditors have not examined,
reviewed, compiled, or applied upon procedures to the projections, and no other
independent expert has reviewed the projections.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The Company has generated minimal revenues and does not
anticipate generating any material revenues until at least the first
quarter of the Year 2000. The Company does not anticipate breaking even
in its financial operations until at least January, 2001. As a result,
the Company's sole source of capital during 1999 shall be investment
capital provided by third parties. Further, the Company anticipates
that it will require additional capital contributions to fund its
operations during the Year 2000. The Company intends to find investors
or go to the original group of investor for additional capital for
continued operations. In addition, the Company is actively seeking
institutional type investors as a source of funding and growing the
business. If the Company is unsuccessful in securing additional capital
then it will be required to materially curtail or cease operations
altogether. Further, in the event the Company does attract such
capital, but is unable to generate revenues sufficient to support its
expenses, then the Company would be required to eventually curtail or
even cease operations. THE COMPANY'S SUBSTANTIAL FINANCIAL LOSSES SINCE
ITS INCEPTION HAVE RAISED A SUBSTANTIAL DOUBT WITH THE COMPANY'S
AUDITORS AS TO THE COMPANY'S ABILITY TO CONTINUE AS A GOING CONCERN.

The Company has received no venture capital investment. The Company
concluded an offering under Rule 504 of Regulation D. Under this offering the

common stock at an exercise price of $0.10 each. These options were exercised on
March 30, 1999, May 7, 1997 and June 1999, raising $200,000.
Throughout its history the Company had employed a variety of methods
for diversifying its operations and pursuing its strategic and business
objectives without pulling badly needed capital from its on-going operations, or
incurring onerous overhead and financing obligations. These have included
licenses, joint-ventures, and even counter-trade (technologies for technologies)
mechanisms as part of this diversification methodology. The Company has
identified a number of alternative capital sources, however, if it is unable to
attract additional capital its operations will be severely adversely effected.
As of June 30, 1998, the Company had no appreciable short or long-term
debt and had been reorganized to prepare for future business.
The Company does not believe that inflation has had a significant
impact on its operations since inception of the Company.

In addition, the Company owns 100% of Essential Tec which assists the
Company in technical design of Web site and applications. The Company is a 20%
holder of MedCom Network, Inc. a California corporation which is developing an
on-line data base of disease codes which are codes found in the medical industry
dictionaries. The Company invested in MedCom by contributing $30,000 for shares
of restricted common stock of the company.
YEAR 2000
The Company has developed and acquired its computer systems with an
objective to be Year 2000 compliant. The Company has engaged the services of
qualified technicians to determine the extent to which it may be vulnerable to
third party Year 2000 issues. As a relatively new corporation, all computer
equipment was purchased in August 1997 and is Year 2000 compliant. The internal
software written by the Company's programmers is written with the long-date
format included and consequently is Year 2000 compliant. The Company uses
Microsoft software and has installed all the available "patches" to up-date this
software. Further, Microsoft "patches" will be installed as they become
available from Microsoft in 1999, but this affects less than 20% of the
Company's software and does not impact on the on-going operation of the Company.
The Company has expended approximately $15,000 on hardware and software to
become Year 2000 compliant.
The Company has assessed and continues to asses whether its information
and non-information technology systems will be effected by the Year 2000 issues.
The Company has investigated its third party communications suppliers such as
the telephone company and its Internet service provider and found that all are
in the process of becoming Year 2000 compliant in 1999. Based upon current
information, management believes that the necessary modifications have been made
internally to effectively continue The Company into the Year 2000, however,
management is continuing to monitor internal systems, and to assess the
readiness of its systems, to ensure Year 2000 compliance. As a contingency, The
Company has identified other communication suppliers who could provide the
necessary service at a minimal cost to the Company, and a minimal effect on the
operations of the Company. In the event no other communication suppliers can be
found, there could be a material adverse effect on the Company and its
operations. Based upon current information, The Company does not believe that
the costs associated with Year 2000 compliance is material for the Company.

action, suit, or proceeding to which such person is named a party by reason of
having acted or served in such capacity, except for liabilities arising from
such person's own misconduct or negligence in performance of duty. In addition,
even a director, officer, employee or agent of the Company who was found liable
for misconduct or negligence in the performance of duty may obtain such
indemnification if, in view of all the circumstances in the case, a court of
competent jurisdiction determines such person is fairly and reasonably entitled
to indemnification. Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the
Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers, or persons controlling
the Company pursuant to the foregoing provisions, the Company has been informed
that in the opinion of the Commission, such indemnification is against public
policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is therefore unenforceable.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT
Board of Directors
Converge Global, Inc. and Subsidiaries
Santa Monica, California
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of Converge Global,
Inc. and Subsidiaries (a development stage enterprise) as of December 31, 1998,
and the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders' deficit and
cash flows for the year then ended. These financial statements are the
responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an
opinion on these financial statements based on our audit. The financial
statements as of December 31, 1997 and for the year then ended, were audited by
other auditors whose report dated July 9, 1998, included an explanatory
paragraph which expressed substantial doubt about the Company's ability to
continue as a going concern.
We conducted our audit in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards.
Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable
assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes
assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by
management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.
We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in
all material respects, the consolidated financial position of Converge Global,
Inc. and Subsidiaries as of December 31, 1998, and the results of its operations
and its cash flows for the year then ended in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles.
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming
that the Company will continue as a going concern. As shown in the financial
statements, the Company has incurred net losses from operations, has negative
cash flows from operations, and has a net capital deficiency. These factors
raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going
concern. Management's plans in regard to these matters are also described in
Note 1. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might
result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

(1) SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:
ORGANIZATION AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION:
The Company was organized October 4, 1985, under the laws of the
State of Utah, as Mormon Mint, Inc. The Company was inactive for
approximately 10 years.
On December 4, 1997, the Company changed its name from Mormon
Mint, Inc. to Capital Placement Specialists, Inc.
Pursuant to an acquisition agreement, dated January 5, 1999,
Bekam Investments, Ltd. ("Bekam") acquired one hundred percent
(100%) of the common shares of the Company at that time; or
2,430,000 shares. Bekam subsequently spun off the Company by
contributing the shares to the treasury of the Company for
redistribution to selected investors of Bekam. The Company then
changed its name to Converge Global, Inc.
PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION (UNAUDITED):
The accompanying financial statements include the accounts of
Converge Global, Inc. (the "Parent"), and its subsidiaries,
Gearz.com, Inc. and LiquidationBid.com, Inc. All significant
intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in

YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1998 AND 1997 AND
NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 1999 AND 1998 (UNAUDITED)
(1) SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED):
GOING CONCERN:
The Company's consolidated 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. 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. This factor raises substantial doubt
about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern.
Management recognizes that the Company must generate additional
resources to enable it to continue operations. The Company
intends to begin recognizing significant revenue during the
fourth quarter of 1999 or early 2000. Management's plans also
include the sale of additional equity securities. However, no
assurance can be given that the Company will be successful in
raising additional capital. Further, there can be no assurance,
assuming the Company successfully raises additional equity, that
the Company will achieve profitability or positive cash flow.
BUSINESS ACTIVITY:
The Company, a development stage company, plans to provide
in-depth and unique e-commerce solutions with specific emphasis
on audio and video delivery over the Internet. The Company also
plans to design and develop websites in exchange for fees from
its customers.
REVENUE RECOGNITION:
The Company recognizes website design and development revenue as
services are performed over the life of the contract.
CASH:
EQUIVALENTS
For purposes of the statement of cash flows, cash equivalents
include all highly liquid debt instruments with original
maturities of three months or less which are not securing any
corporate obligations.
CONCENTRATION
The Company maintains its cash in bank deposit accounts which, at
times, may exceed federally insured limits. The Company has not
experienced any losses in such accounts.
USE OF 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 revenues and expenses during the reporting
period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
See accompanying independent auditors' report.

(A DEVELOPMENT STAGE ENTERPRISE)
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1998 AND 1997 AND
NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 1999 AND 1998 (UNAUDITED)
(1) SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED):
PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT:
Property and equipment are valued at cost. Expenditures for
maintenance and repairs are charged to earnings as incurred;
additions, renewals and betterments are capitalized. When
property and equipment are retired or otherwise disposed of, the
related cost and accumulated depreciation are removed from the
respective accounts, and any gain or loss is included in
operations. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line
method over the estimated useful lives of the assets.
INCOME TAXES:
The Company uses the liability method of accounting for income
taxes pursuant to SFAS No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes."
Deferred income tax assets result from temporary differences when
certain amounts are deducted for financial statement purposes and
when they are deducted for income tax purposes.
The principal temporary difference is the net operating loss
carryforward, which was immaterial at December 31, 1998 and 1997,
respectively. A deferred tax asset has been provided and is
completely offset by a valuation allowance because its
utilization does not appear to be reasonably assured.
On January 5, 1999, there was a 100% change in the control and
ownership of the Company. As a result of this change in control,
there are significant limitations on the utilization of the net
operating loss carryforwards through December 31, 1998. Federal
net operating loss carryforward starts to expire on December 31,
2018 and California state net operating loss carryforward starts
to expire on December 31, 2003.
COMMON STOCK:
On October 15, 1997, the Company effected a 10:1 reverse split of
its common stock, thus decreasing the number of outstanding
common stock shares from 23,401,000 shares to 2,340,100 shares.
All share and per share data in the financial statements reflect
the reverse split for all periods presented.
NET LOSS PER SHARE:
The Company has adopted Statement of Financial Accounting
Standard No. 128, Earnings per Share ("SFAS No. 128"), which is
effective for annual and interim financial statements issued for
periods ending after December 15, 1997. SFAS No. 128 was issued
to simplify the standards for calculating earnings per share
("EPS") previously in APB No. 15, Earnings Per Share. SFAS No.
128 replaces the presentation of primary EPS with a presentation
of basic EPS. The new rules also require dual presentation of
basic and diluted EPS on the face of the statement of
operations.

NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 1999 AND 1998 (UNAUDITED)
(1) SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED):
NET LOSS PER SHARE, CONTINUED:
For the nine months ended September 30, 1999 and the years ended
December 31, 1998 and December 31, 1997 and the period from
inception of operations to September 30, 1999, the per share data
is based on the weighted average number of common and common
equivalent shares outstanding, and are calculated in accordance
with Staff Accounting Bulletin of the Securities and Exchange
Commission (SAB) No. 98 whereby common stock, options or warrants
to purchase common stock or other potentially dilutive
instruments issued for nominal consideration must be reflected in
basic and diluted per share calculations for all periods in a
manner similar to a stock split, even if anti-dilutive.
Accordingly, in computing basic earnings per share, nominal
issuances of common stock are reflected in a manner similar to a
stock split or dividend. In computing diluted earnings per share,
nominal issuances of common stock and potential common stock are
reflected in a manner similar to a stock split or dividend.
INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED):
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial
statements for the interim periods ended September 30, 1999 and
1998 have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles for interim financial information and with
the instructions to Form 10-QSB and Regulation S-B. Accordingly,
they do not include all of the information and footnotes required
by generally accepted accounting principles for complete
financial statements. In the opinion of management, all
adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered
necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating
results for the nine months ended September 30, 1999 are not
necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for
the year ending December 31, 1999.

six-month anti-dilution provision and an agreement not to sell the
shares for a period of one year or until the shares are registered with
the United States Securities and Exchange Commission. This investment is
being accounted for using the equity method. The Company's share of the

(6) STOCKHOLDERS' DEFICIT (UNAUDITED), CONTINUED:
EMPLOYEE STOCK OPTION PLAN
Effective January 6, 1999, the Company adopted a Stock Option Plan (the
"Plan") for its directors, employees and consultants under which a
maximum number of 7,000,000 options maybe granted to purchase common
stock of the Company. The Compensation Committee of the Board of
Directors administers the Plan, selects recipients to whom options are
granted and determines the number of shares to be awarded. Options
granted under the Plan are exercisable at a price determined by the
Compensation Committee at the time of grant, but in no event less than
fair market value.
The number and weighted average exercise price of options granted under
the Employee Stock Option Plan, for the nine months ended September 30,
1999 are as follows:
<TABLE>
<CAPTION>
Weighted Average
Shares Exercise Price
------ --------------
<S> <C> <C>
Outstanding at beginning of period - $ -
Outstanding at end of period - -
Exercisable at end of period - -
Granted during period 2,000,000 .001
Exercised during period 2,000,000 .001
</TABLE>
The holders of these stock options have executed agreements to exercise
these options; however, no cash was received to date. Accordingly, the
$2,000 due for the 2,000,000 shares has been presented on the
accompanying balance sheet as common stock receivable at September 30,
1999.
The Company has elected to follow Accounting Principles Board Opinion
No. 25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees" (APB 25) and related
interpretations in accounting for its employee stock options because the
alternative fair value accounting provided for under FASB Statement No.
123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation," requires use of option
valuation models that were not developed for use in valuing employee
stock options. Under APB 25, because the exercise price of the Company's
employee stock options equals the fair market value of the underlying
stock on the date of grant, no compensation expense is recognized.
Pro forma information regarding the effect on operations is required by
SFAS 123, and has been determined as if the Company had accounted for
its employee stock options under the fair value method of that
statement. Pro forma information using the Black-Scholes method at the
date of grant based on the following assumptions:
Expected life 1 month
Risk-free interest rate 6.00%
Dividend yield -
Volatility 100%

NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 1999 AND 1998 (UNAUDITED)
(6) STOCKHOLDERS' DEFICIT (UNAUDITED), CONTINUED:
This option valuation model requires input of highly subjective
assumptions. Because the Company's employee stock options have
characteristics significantly different from those of traded options,
and because changes in the subjective input assumptions can materially
affect the fair value estimate, in management's opinion, the existing
model does not necessarily provide a reliable single measure of fair
value of its employee stock options.
For purposes of proforma disclosures, the estimated fair value of the
options is amortized to expense over the option's vesting period. The
Company's proforma information is as follows:
<TABLE>

(7) RELATED PARTY TRANSACTION:
The loan payable, related party, represents short-term borrowings from
an officer of the Company. It is non-interest bearing and due on demand
(unaudited).
Prior to January 5, 1999, the Company neither owned nor leased any real
or personal property. Office services were provided without charge by a
director. Such costs were immaterial to the financial statements and,
accordingly, have not been reflected therein.
Effective February 1, 1999, the Company entered into a one-year
employment agreement with two of its officers. Pursuant to this
agreement, the Company will compensate each officer $5,000 per month.
Adjustments for compensation and renewal of employment terms are subject
to the Board of Directors' approval (unaudited).
