PART I
ITEM 1. DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS.
(a) Business Development. Hamilton-McGregor International, Inc.
("Hamilton" or the "Company"), was incorporated in the State of New York on
August 17, 1995. In December 1995, Hamilton acquired 100% of the outstanding
capital stock (45.5 shares of no par value common stock) of Prime Contracting
Corporation ("Prime"), a New Jersey corporation, from a related entity. The
terms of the acquisition agreement, as modified in March 1996, called for a
payment of $200,000 upon execution and a $1,000,000 interest-bearing note at
prime plus one percent, with a principal payment of $600,000 due on October
27, 1997, and $400,000 on April 27, 1998. On March 3, 1998, the Company
restructured the promissory note payable for the purchase of Prime as follows:
$200,000 to be paid over 36 months, with interest accruing at prime plus one
percent; plus a 36-month option to purchase 250,000 shares of Hamilton-
McGregor stock at $0.05 per share. The Company recorded a gain in the amount
of $772,650 as additional contributed capital.
(b) Business of Issuer. The Company's business is the construction of
state-of-the-art imaging centers and other medical facilities. The Company
offers a full range of services, including turnkey design and construction,
site analysis, architectural engineering and on-site project management.
Prime builds free-standing structures and renovates existing facilities with
an emphasis on room renovations for hospitals and private medical facilities.
The Company focuses its construction emphasis in an area of technology,
radiology and non-invasive analysis, as a true vertical market approach in a
unique area with limited competition. Prime's installations have included the
following: conventional X-Rays, Magnetic Resonance Imaging ("MRI"),
Computerized Axial Tomography ("CAT"), Scan Suites, Radiology/Fluoroscopy,
Cardiac Catherization Labs, Laser Network Systems, Special Procedures,
Angiography, Mammography, Ultrasound, Linear Accelerator, Lithotripsy,
Cystography Units, Nuclear Medicine, Laboratory areas and Operating Rooms.
These are all areas of construction which require high levels of electrical
installation expertise and even higher levels of quality control, levels that
the Company has reached after over twenty years in the industry.
Businesses competitive with the Company are construction companies
specializing in the medical marketing industry. A key component in the
industry is historical market presence, which in Prime's case, is more than 20
years. The market traditionally values the knowledge and reputation within
the medical community as a key determinant to the securing of contracts, which
is usually accomplished through an open-bidding process. The Company markets
only by word-of-mouth and relies on its long-standing, industry-wide
reputation to attract all incremental business. To this extent, the Company's
business is year-round, and not seasonal.
A listing of projects completed and the clients for which they were
completed is appended to this registration statement as Exhibit 99.1. This is
not a complete listing, as only projects in the primary state of New Jersey
have been included, and does not include any jobs which are currently
underway. The Company does operate in several other states, but the greater
portion of its business, approximately 65%, is conducted within New Jersey.
The Company obtains its construction supplies from numerous suppliers and
does not rely on any one vendor for any of its materials. The Company does
not have any major contracts upon which it is reliant, nor does it have any
patents, trademarks, licenses, franchises, concessions, royalty agreements or
labor contracts. The Company's business is not presently subject to any
federal regulation, but rather is only required to comply with state and/or
local standard manufacturing and construction codes. As the sites are built,
they are inspected for compliance by state officials from the Department of
Health Services, with such compliance being the responsibility of the agency
or hospital in contract with the Company. As such, the Company has no
requisite government approvals.
During the past two years, the Company has spent no money on research and
development activities.
As of the date of this filing, the Company has 16 full-time employees.
When projects are under construction, the Company hires temporary help
sufficient to staff the projects, as and if necessary.
ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OR PLAN OF OPERATION.
The Company's business is the construction of state-of-the-art imaging
centers and other medical facilities. The Company offers a full range of
services, including turnkey design and construction services, site analysis,
architectural engineering, and on-site project management.
Except for historical information contained in this Discussion and
Analysis, forward-looking statements set forth below are subject to certain
risks and uncertainties, including those discussed, that could cause actual
results to differ materially from those projected. Readers are cautioned not
to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which reflect
management's analysis only as of the date of this document. The Company
undertakes no obligation to publicly release the results of any revisions to
these forward-looking statements which may be made to reflect events or
circumstances after the date hereof or to reflect the occurrence of
unanticipated events.
The Company plans to continue its operations in the same manner in which
it has conducted business during the previous two years. More clients are
seeking construction contracts with the Company as the number of completed
jobs rises and the competency of the Company is ascertained.
Utilizing existing cash and receivables, totaling approximately
$1,362,735, the Company will be able to meet its operating capital
requirements for the next 12 months. The Company, through its subsidiary
Prime, has in place a $200,000 line of credit from NGF Investment Corp.,
carrying a 14.5% annual rate of interest, which it uses for operating capital
only, and not for construction loans. No current plan is pending for raising
additional capital, as none is currently required, and there are no
expenditures contemplated for research and development during the next year.
The Company does not anticipate the purchase or sale of any significant plant
or equipment, but does expect to hire additional employees if the anticipated
increase in the volume of business occurs. However, this will be on a
job-by-job basis, and will occur as a result of increased billings and profit
opportunities. Unless an extremely large contract is secured, the Company
should be able to engage additional employees utilizing existing cash flow to
cover the advances required between time of service and time of collection
from the Clients of the Company.
For the six months ended December 31, 1998, the Company reported net cash
used by operations in the amount of $145,104. The Company financed this net
cash deficit by borrowing additional funds. The Company financed
approximately $61,000 of compensation in the form of capital stock.
For the year ended June 30, 1998, the Company reported cash used in
excess of cash generated by operating activities in an amount approximating
$357,000. During the year ended June 30, 1998, the Company restructured the
promissory note payable for the acquisition of its subsidiary, from a related
party, from $972,650 to $200,000. The reduction of debt in the amount of
$772,650 was recorded as contributed capital. The Company repaid its $200,000
line of credit with the bank by obtaining a long-term note payable from a
related party.
During the year ended June 30, 1997, the Company generated excess cash of
approximately $204,000 from its operating activities. The Company was able to
finance its operations and accounts receivable through accounts payable
financing from its vendors. In fiscal 1997, the Company invested about
$43,000 in office equipment, machinery and vehicles. The Company financed
these assets in addition to its increase in accounts receivable with a line of
credit from the bank.
The results of the Company's operations for fiscal 1998 (year ended June
30, 1998), reflected a loss in the amount of $63,611, with Contracts
Receivable increasing from $967,419 (1997) to $1,186,610 (1998) and Total
Current Liabilities essentially falling from approximately $1,805,000 (1997)
to $1,567,000 (1998). Two major changes occurred: one, the refinance of the
short term loan of $200,000, which was paid in part and transformed into a
long-term note, and two, the restructuring of debt associated with the
acquisition of Prime Contractors, whereby $800,000 in principal value of the
note (originally for $1,000,000) was converted into an option to purchase the
Company's common stock at $0.05 per share, good for 36 months from March,
1998. The Company recorded this transaction as an addition to contributed
capital. Income from operations has continued to improve, resulting in a
six-month profit (December, 1998) of $227,894.
The market in which the Company operates is currently in an expansive
mode, because the construction of specialty medical facilities is increasing
as new technologies are developed and hospitals and clinics provide specialty
facilities for the provision of services associated with the more modern
technologies. The niche that Hamilton-McGregor focuses on, radiology and non-
invasive analysis of medical conditions, is far more preferable to most
patients and is therefore in high demand. The Company believes that it is in
an ideal position to capitalize on this trend because of its existing track
record with the numerous medical facilities already served (see Exhibit 99.1)
in the State of New Jersey and the contiguous jurisdictions of New York and
Pennsylvania.
ITEM 3. DESCRIPTION OF PROPERTY.
The Company presently maintains an office at 1719 Route 10, Suite 119,
Parsippany, New Jersey 07054. The landlord, Northern New Jersey Management
Corporation, does not charge the Company for these offices as the current
demands on the space are minimal. As the Company's business expands and as
its demand for office space increases, the Company will have to pay rent in
the amount of $500 per month. The term of this lease is for a minimum of
three years, with an option to renew for an additional two years.
The Company at present owns no equipment. Prime, the subsidiary, leases
approximately 3,600 square feet of office space located at 681 Chestnut
Street, Union, New Jersey 07083. The term of this lease expires on October
31, 1999, with a renewal provision for an additional five-year term, and an
annual rent of approximately $18,000.

</TABLE>
ITEM 7. CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS.
On February 18, 1999, the Company issued shares of stock to compensate RF
Management, Inc. for its services for the 1998 calendar year, and James Morse
for services provided during the latter half of 1998. 439,400 shares were
issued to RF Management and 120,000 shares were issued to Morse, under Rule
505 of Regulation D, which will be restricted as to future resale for a
minimum of one year from the date of issuance. The Company evaluated this
issuance at $0.10 per share for RF Management and for Morse, based upon the
par value of the issued and outstanding shares, the fact that the Company lost
money during its two preceding years and the restriction against transfer
imposed by the private placement exemption utilized for the issuance.
James Morse reviewed the Company's history and its needs for coming into
compliance with various regulatory filings for purposes of trading in the
over-the-counter marketplace. Mr. Morse recommended the filing of the Form
10SB, and identified suitable professionals for the preparation of the
required filings. Morse received a payment of $10,000 plus the 120,000 shares
of restricted common stock in consideration of his services provided. Based
upon a market value for the services and the historical gross profit earned by
the company in 1998, the value of the shares is being recorded at $0.05 per
share, or a total non-cash compensation to Morse of $6,000. These shares were
not due until completion of the consulting services, which occurred in the
first quarter of 1999.
RF Management provides general operational supervision of the Company on
a day-to-day basis, but only if and when contracts are being negotiated or are
under construction. The services of RF Management were valued at no more than
$25,000 for the periods involved. In compensation for these services, the
Company issued 439,400 shares in February, 1999, which, due to their
restrictive legending and the uncertainty of any trading market developing,
were valued at $0.05 per share. Therefore, $24,470 is being recorded in the
Company's books for fees paid by stock issuance to RF Management.
R.F. MANAGEMENT CORP.
R.F. Management Corp. is the controlling shareholder of the Company by
virtue of its 52% ownership interest in the Company's common stock. R.F.
Management Corp. is engaged in the business of administering and managing
free-standing outpatient centers owed by radiologists who perform diagnostic
services at such Centers. In addition, R.F. Management is engaged in the
business of medical construction and mobile MRI services. It was incorporated
in the State of New York in August, 1994 and its executive offices are located
at 1719 Route 10 W, Suite 119, Parsippany, New Jersey 07054. R.F. Management
is a 12(g) reporting company, and its information can be found within the
EDGAR System under Commission File Number 0-26488.
The Company offers a full range of administrative services, including
contract negotiations, site selection, equipment procurement, construction,
office personnel, office management, patient scheduling, patient billing, cash
collections, personnel management and marketing. The company can provide
either a full or limited range of administrative services at the Centers,
depending upon the needs of the Centers' owners.
On January 1, 1997, R.F. Management acquired 52% of the outstanding
capital stock of Hamilton-McGregor in a private transaction with Roger
Findlay, a related party, for a total purchase price of $750,000. As part of
the purchase price, R.F. Management issued an installment note in the sum of
$600,000, without interest, payable in four annual installments on the
anniversary date of the agreement.
On March 3, 1998, Hamilton-McGregor restructured the promissory note payable
for the acquisition of Prime Contracting Corp. to Modern Medical Modalities
Corp., a related party, as follows: $200,000 in cash, payable over 36 months,
plus interest calculated at prime plus one percent and a 36-month option to
purchase 250,000 shares of Hamilton-McGregor stock at $0.05 per share.
Hamilton-McGregor recorded this transaction as additional contributed capital
in the amount of $772,650.
Wayne P. Miller, President of R.F. Management, and on salary from R.F.
Management, is also the Vice President, Secretary and a Director of Hamilton-
McGregor. For his services at Hamilton-McGregor, Mr. Miller shall accrue,
beginning on July 1, 1999, compensation from the Company in the amount of
$1000 per quarter. Aron Scharf, President of Hamilton-McGregor, and on salary
from Hamilton-McGregor, is also a director on the board of R.F. Management,
but receives no compensation for that position.
Other than the transactions with R.F. Management, and private placement
conducted in 1995, the Company has had not dealings with any promoters during
the preceding 5 years, has not acquired any assets from any promoters, nor
given any discounts on stock issuances to promoters.
A $101,000 note is due from the Company to NGF Investment Corp., of which
Aron Scharf, a director of the Company, owns 20%. The only possibly-
conflicting interest of Scharf in the transaction on behalf of NGF would be to
achieve a market rate of interest for the repayment of the loan. However,
Scharf is not the controlling shareholder of NGF and did not negotiate the
original terms of the transaction for either the Company or NGF.
The Company has not acquired any assets other than in the ordinary course
of business during the preceding 5 years, and no single asset has had a value
in excess of $50,000.
ITEM 8. DESCRIPTION OF SECURITIES.
There is only one class of stock, common, each share having equal and
identical rights to every other share for purposes of dividends, liquidation
preferences, voting rights and any other attributes of a company's common
stock. No voting trusts or any other arrangement for preferential voting
exist among any of the shareholders, and there are no restrictions in the
bylaws or articles of incorporation precluding issuance of further common
stock or requiring any liquidation preferences, voting rights or dividend
priorities with respect to this class of stock. As of March 17, 1999, there
were 5,586,905 shares issued and outstanding.
Each share of Common Stock entitles the holder thereof to one vote,
either in person or by proxy, at a meeting of shareholders. The holders are
not entitled to vote their shares cumulatively. Accordingly, the holders of
more than 50% of the issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock can elect
all of the directors of the Company.
All shares of common Stock are entitled to participate ratably in
dividends when and as declared by the Company's Board of Directors out of the
funds legally available therefor. Any such dividends may be paid in cash,
property or additional shares of Common Stock. The Company has not paid any
dividends since its inception and presently anticipates that no dividends will
be declared in the foreseeable future. Any future dividends will be subject
to the discretion of the Company's Board of Directors and will depend upon,
among other things, future earnings, the operating and financial condition of
the Company, its capital requirements, general business conditions and other
pertinent facts. Therefore, there can be no assurance that any dividends on
the Common Stock will be paid in the future.
Holders of Common Stock have no preemptive rights or other subscription
rights, conversion rights, redemption or sinking fund provisions. In the
event of the dissolution, whether voluntary or involuntary, of the Company,
each share of Common Stock is entitled to share ratably in any assets
available for distribution to holders of the equity securities of the Company
after satisfaction of all liabilities.
PART II
ITEM 1. MARKET PRICE OF AND DIVIDENDS ON THE REGISTRANT'S COMMON EQUITY
AND OTHER SHAREHOLDER MATTERS.
The Company has never been listed on any exchanges, nor has it traded its
shares in any private or "pink sheet" style of marketplace. At the date of
this filing, the Company has 21 shareholders, all of which have held their
shares at least one year, and in most cases, for more than two years since the
date of issuance. All of these shareholders would be eligible for
transactions under Rule 144, restricted, however, by the volume limitations of
144(d) with respect to any existing or former shareholders that are officers,
directors or affiliates (or were at the time of the issuance of the shares).
No dividends have been earned or declared since the inception of the Company.
Applicability of Low-Priced Stock Risk Disclosure Requirements: The
securities of the Company will be considered low-priced or "designated"
securities under rules promulgated under the Exchange Act. Under these rules,
broker/dealers participating in transactions in low-priced securities must
first deliver a risk disclosure document which describes the risks associated
with such stocks, the broker/dealer's duties, the customer's rights and
remedies, certain market and other information, and make a suitability
determination approving the customer for low-priced stock transactions based
on the customer's financial situation, investment experience and objectives.
Broker/dealers must also disclose these restrictions in writing to the
customer and obtain specific written consent of the customer, and provide
monthly account statements to the customer. The likely effect of these
restrictions will be a decrease in the willingness of broker/dealers to make a
market in the stock, decreased liquidity of the stock and increased
transaction costs for sales and purchases of the stock as compared to other
securities.
ITEM 2. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS.
The Company is involved with one of its former President, who is suing to
recover on a claim for bonus and severance pay. The case is being conducted
as an arbitration, with the American Arbitration Association, commencing June
9, 1998, under the caption Stephen Findlay vs. Hamilton-McGregor, Inc. The
Company has cross-complained against Mr. Findlay and John Schultz (also a
former employee) for breach of their contractual and non-compete agreements
with the Company.
Findlay is seeking 6 month's pay, which he claims is $125,000, plus some
form of bonus, which he claims to be approximately $210,000. Counsel for the
Company is of the opinion that the claim is not meritorious, and that the
Company's cross-complaint for breach of contractual and non-compete agreements
will offset any possible award to Findlay.
ITEM 3. CHANGES IN AND DISAGREEMENTS WITH ACCOUNTANTS ON ACCOUNTING AND
FINANCIAL DISCLOSURE.
None.
ITEM 4. RECENT SALES OF UNREGISTERED SECURITIES.
In August 1995, the Company's Board of Directors passed a resolution
authorizing the a private placement of the Company's securities in order to
raise capital. Management was granted authority to prepare a Private
Placement Memorandum pursuant to Rule 504 of Regulation D, governing the
Limited Offer and Sale of Securities Without Registration Under the Securities
Act of 1933 (as amended) and to register the securities in any state
jurisdiction that management felt was required and appropriate. The Offering
called for the Company to offer for sale up to 500,000 shares of the Company's
common stock (the "shares") at $6.00 per share. The Offering was closed on
March 29, 1996, and resulted in 80,834 shares of the Company's $0.0001 par
value common stock being issued to four separate New York investors at the
Offering price of $6 per share. As a result of the Offering, the Company
raised an aggregate of $341,811, net of expenses of $143,189, spent on legal,
accounting and brokerage. The shares sold in the Offering were subsequently
split three for one, resulting in 242,505 shares at $2.00 per share.
ITEM 5. INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS.
Article Six of the Articles of Incorporation provides that no director of
the Company shall have personal liability to the corporation or to its
shareholders for damages for any breach of duty in such capacity, provided,
however, that the provisions shall not eliminate or limit:
(a) the liability of any director of the corporation if a judgment
or other final adjudication adverse to him establishes that his acts or
omissions were in bad faith or involved intentional misconduct or a
knowing violation of law or that he personally gained in fact a financial
profit or other advantage to which he was not legally entitled or, with
respect to any director of the corporation, that his acts violated
Section 719 of the Business Corporation law of the State of New York, or
(b) the liability of a director for any act or omission prior to
the final adoption of this article.

ACCOUNTANTS' REVIEW REPORT
To the Board of Directors
Hamilton-McGregor International and Subsidiary
We have reviewed the consolidated balance sheet of Hamilton-McGregor
International, Inc. and Subsidiary as at December 31, 1998, and the related
consolidated statements of operations, and cash flows for the six months then
ended, in accordance with Statements on Standards for Accounting and Review
Services issued by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants.
All information included in these financial statements is the representation
of the management of Hamilton-McGregor International, Inc.
A review of interim financial information consists principally of obtaining an
understanding of the system for the preparation of interim financial
information, applying analytical review procedures to financial data, and
making inquiries of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters.
It is substantially less in scope than an audit in accordance with generally
accepted auditing standards, the objective of which is the expression of an
opinion regarding the financial statements taken as a whole. Accordingly, we
do not express such an opinion.
Based on our review, we are not aware of any material modifications that
should be made to the consolidated financial statements referred to above for
them to be in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.
We have previously audited, in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards, the consolidated balance sheet of Hamilton-McGregor International,
Inc. and Subsidiary as at June 30, 1998 and 1997, and the related consolidated
statements of operations, stockholders' equity, and cash flows for the two
years then ended not presently herein, and in our report dated August 26,
1998, we expressed an unqualified opinion on those consolidated financial
statements. In our opinion, the information set forth in the accompanying
consolidated balance sheet as at December 31, 1998 is fairly presented, in all
material respects, in relation to the consolidated balance sheet from which it
has been derived.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT
To the Board of Directors
Hamilton-McGregor International, Inc. and Subsidiary
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of Hamilton-
McGregor International, Inc. and Subsidiary as at June 30, 1998 and 1997, and
the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders' equity, and
cash flows for the two years ended June 30, 1998 and 1997. These financial
statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our
responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on
our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to
obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of
material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence
supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. 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 audits provide a reasonable basis
for our opinion.
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above
present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position
of Hamilton-McGregor International, Inc. and Subsidiary as at June 30, 1998
and 1997, and the consolidated results of their operations and their cash
flows for the years ended June 30, 1998 and 1997 in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles.

HAMILTON-MCGREGOR INTERNATIONAL INC. AND SUBSIDIARY
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
DECEMBER 31, 1998 AND JUNE 30, 1998 AND 1997
1 - Business
The Company's business is the construction of state-of-the-art imaging
centers and other medical facilities. The Company offers a full range of
services, including turnkey design and construction services, site analysis,
architectural engineering, and on-site project management.
2 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Principles of consolidation
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Hamilton-
McGregor International Inc. ("Hamilton") and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Prime
Contracting Corporation ("Prime"), collectively the "Company". Hamilton was
incorporated in the State of New York on August 17, 1995. Prime was
incorporated in the State of New Jersey on June 16, 1978. Hamilton acquired all
of the outstanding capital stock (forty-five and one-half [45.5] shares no par
value common stock) of Prime in December 1995. The Company accounted for the
acquisition of Prime in a manner similar to a pooling of interests due to the
stockholders' common control of both Hamilton and a related entity.
Cash equivalents
The Company considers all highly liquid debt instruments purchased with a
maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.
Contract receivables
Amounts recorded as contract receivables represent amounts receivable form
completed construction contracts, whether billed or unbilled.
Furniture, fixtures, equipment and leasehold improvements
Property and equipment are stated at cost and are depreciated by an
accelerated method over the estimated useful lives. Leasehold improvements are
amortized over the life of the lease or the economic useful lives of the
improvements, whichever is shorter. Betterments and large renewals which extend
the life of the asset are capitalized whereas maintenance and repairs and small
renewals are expensed as incurred.
Basis of Accounting
The Company's financial statements have been prepared on the accrual basis
of accounting and, accordingly, reflect all significant receivables, payables
and other liabilities.
Revenue and cost recognition
Revenues are recognized on the percentage-of-completion method and are
measured by costs incurred to date as compared to estimated total costs for each
contract. Costs and amounts earned on specific jobs in excess of billings are
treated as a current asset. Billings in excess of costs and estimated earnings
are treated as a current liability.
Cost and profit estimates are reviewed periodically as work progresses and
adjustments, if needed, are reflected in the period in which the estimates are
revised. Provisions for estimated losses, if any, on uncompleted contracts are
made in the period in which such losses become known and are estimable. Change-
orders which may result in revisions to costs and income are recognized in the
period in which the revisions are approved. Expenses from contract claim
settlements are recognized in the period awarded.
Contracts costs included all direct material and labor costs, as well as
subcontractor costs, and those indirect costs related to contract performance,
such as indirect labor and supplies and overhead costs. Selling, general and
administrative costs are charged to expense as incurred.
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.
Income taxes
The Company adopted Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Statement
of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes",
for financial statement reporting purposes, which requires the asset and
liability method of accounting for income taxes. The asset and liability
approach requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the
expected future tax consequences of temporary differences between the carrying
amounts and the tax bases of assets and liabilities and the effect of future tax
planning strategies to reduce any deferred tax liability.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents, contracts receivables,
accounts payable and short-term debt approximate fair value due to the short
maturity of the instruments and the provision for what management believes to be
adequate reserves for potential losses. It was not practicable to estimate the
fair value of long-term debt because quoted market prices do not exist and an
estimate could not be made through other means without incurring excessive
costs.
Earnings (loss) per share
Earnings (loss) per share have been computed by dividing the net income
(loss) by the weighted average number of common stock shares outstanding.
3 - Private Placement Offering
In August 1995, the Board of Directors of the Company passed a resolution
authorizing the management of the Company to initiate steps for a private
placement of the Company's securities in order to raise capital. Management was
granted authority to prepare a Private Placement Memorandum pursuant to
Regulation Rules governing the Limited Offer and Sale of Securities Without
Registration Under the securities Act of 1933 (as amended) and to register the
securities in any state jurisdiction that management felt was required and
appropriate. The private offering called for the Company to offer for sale up
to 500,000 shares of the Company's common stock (the "shares") at $6.00 per
share. The offering closed on March 29, 1996 with the sale of 80,834 shares of
the Company's $0.0001 par value common stock at the offering price of $6.00 per
share that raised an aggregate of $341,811, net of expenses of $143,189, for the
Company.
4 - Contracts Receivable
Contracts receivable from long-term construction contracts and programs
are as follows:

Total $ 1,260,075 $ 1,186,610 $ 967,419
============== ============= =============
Unbilled receivables represent amounts for which billings have not yet been
presented to customers at the balance sheet date. These amounts are billed and
generally collected within one year. Amounts due upon completion of contracts
are retained by customers until work is completed and customer acceptance is
obtained. Retainage amounts at December 31, 1998, June 30, 1998 and 1997 are
not significant.

At June 30, 1997, there was $200,000 outstanding on a revolving line of
credit with Summit Bank, bearing interest due monthly at the prime rate plus 1%,
which matured on December 31, 1997. The line of credit, which was used for
short-term working capital, was secured by real property owned by an
officer/stockholder and all business assets of the Company, excluding accounts
receivable. On January 26, 1998, the loan was refinanced with a long term note
payable to NGF Investment Corp., a related party. The note bears interest due
monthly at 14.5%, and matures on September 15, 2001.

9 - Income Taxes
The company recognizes deferred tax liabilities and assets for the expected
future tax consequences of events that have been recognized in the Company's
financial statements or tax returns. Under this method, deferred tax
liabilities and assets are determined based on the differences between the
financial statement carrying amounts and tax basis of assets and liabilities
using enacted rated in effect in the years in which the differences are expected
to reverse.
The Company has recorded total income tax expenses (credits) of ($53,335),
($42,236) and ($5,703), for the six months ended December 31, 1998 and the years
ended June 30, 1998 and 1997, respectively. The Company has a net operating
loss (NOL) carryforward for federal income tax purposes of $876,213 at June 30,
1998 available to offset income taxes in future years through 2011.
Components of income (loss) before income taxes (recovery), and net income

The Company is obligated under a five year operating lease for a facility
located at 681 Chestnut Street, Union, New Jersey 07083. The lease expires
October 31, 1999 and calls for a fixed annual rental of $18,000, payment of all
real estate taxes and utilities and contains a renewal provision for an
additional five-year term. Rent expense for the years ended June 30, 1998 and
1997 was $23,404 and $18,590 respectively.
Acquisition
In December 1995, Hamilton-McGregor International Inc. acquired one hundred
percent (100%) of the outstanding shares (forty-five and one-half [45.5] shares
of no par value common stock) of Prime Contracting Corporation ("Prime"), a New
Jersey Corporation, from a related entity. Prime is a full service contractor
that provides turnkey design and construction services. The terms of the
agreement, as modified in March 1996, called for a payment of two hundred
thousand ($200,000) and a one million dollar ($1,000,000) note bearing interest
at prime plus one percent (1%) and require a principal payment of six hundred
thousand dollars ($600,000) on October 27, 1997 and four hundred thousand
dollars ($400,000) on April 27, 1998. The extinguishment of Prime's accounts
payable to its former parent aggregating approximately $358,000, in conjunction
with the modification agreement, has been treated as a contribution to
additional paid-in capital. The Company accounted for the business combination
in a manner similar to a pooling of interests due to the stockholder's common
control of both Hamilton and the related party.
On March 3, 1998 the Company restructured the promissory note payable for
the sale of Prime Contracting Corp. as follows: $ 200,000 in cash payable over
36 months, plus interest calculated at prime plus 1% and a 36 month option to
purchase 250,000 shares of the related party stock at $ 0.05. The Company
recorded the gain in the amount of $772,650 as contributed capital.
11 - Commitments and Contingencies
Employment contract
In November 1994, Prime entered into an employment agreement with its
president to receive gross revenue bonuses at the end of any of the first five
bonus years beginning October 1994. The gross revenue bonus advanced in
accordance with the agreement is amortized over the ten year contract term. In
addition, a special bonus was paid to the same party, and was amortized over a
12 month period beginning January 1, 1995.
In December 1997, the employment contract was terminated, resulting in a
charge to operations in the amount of $145,725 for the balance of prepaid
compensation.
12 - Litigation
In June, 1998, "Hamilton" was named as defendant in an arbitration filed by
Stephen Findlay under the Employment Arbitration Rules of the American
Arbitration Association. The claim alleges termination of Mr. Findlay without
cause and breach of an employment contract. The plaintiff seeks compensatory
and punitive damages, costs and legal fees. This matter is in the pleading
stage. It is too early at this time to estimate the eventual outcome of this
case.

benefit of the Tenant, to any subsequent owner or holder of the reversion or

repayment thereof as herein provided, and the assignor shall be deemed to be
released by the Tenant from all liability to return such security. This
provision shall be applicable to every alienation or change in title and shall

proceedings or actions, the Landlord shall grant an option to purchase and or
shall sell and convey the said premises or any portion thereof, to the
governmental or other public authority, agency, body or public utility, seeking
to take said land and promises or any portion thereof, then this lease, at the
option of the Landlord, shall terminate, and the term hereof shall end as of
such date as the Landlord shall fix by notice in writing; and the Tenant shall
have no claim or right to claim or be entitled to any portion of any amount
which may be awarded as damages or paid as the result of such condemnation

instruments at the expense of the Landlord as may be deemed necessary or
required to expedite any condemnation proceedings or to effectuate a proper
transfer of title to such governmental or other public authority, agency, body

portion thereof. The Tenant covenants and agrees to vacate the said premises,
remove all the Tenant's personal property therefrom and deliver up peaceable
possession thereof to the Landlord or to such other party designated by the

and submit a copy of same, together with Tenant's application to NJDEP
therefor, to Landlord. Should Tenant obtain a letter of non-applicability
and the use of the Premises by Tenant shall change to include the storage
of hazardous materials, then Tenant shall, at Landlord's option, hire at
Tenant's cost and expense, a consultant satisfactory to Landlord to
undertake sampling at the Premises sufficient to determine whether or not
Tenant's operations have resulted in a spill or discharge of hazardous

earlier termination of the lease term, then upon the expiration or earlier
termination of the lease term Landlord shall have the option either to
consider this Lease as having ended or to treat Tenant as a holdover
tenant in possession of the Premises. If Landlord considers this Lease as
having ended, then Tenant shall nevertheless be obligated to promptly
obtain ISRA Clearance and to fulfill the obligation set forth in this
Article 5 above, such obligations to survive any termination of this

Lease shall remain in full force and effect.

Lease, Tenant hereby agrees to defend, indemnify and hold Landlord
harmless from and against any and all claims, law suits, liabilities,
losses, damages, penalties, judgments, costs and expenses (including
without limitation, cleanup costs and reasonable attorney's fees arising
by reason of any of the aforesaid or an action against Landlord under this
indemnity) arising directly or indirectly from, out of or by reason of (i)
any breach of this Article 5 occurring during the term of this Lease
and/or (ii) any act or omission by Tenant which gives rise to the Landlord
being charged, prosecuted or penalized due to a violation of any local,
state or federal law or regulation, or amendments or successors thereto,
involving Hazardous Substances, including without limitation, the
following laws: Spill Act, ISRA, RCRA, CERCLA and any other so-called
"Superfund" or "Superlien" law or any other law, rule or regulation
involving environmental regulation contamination or cleanup.

("SIC") as issued by the United States or any other governmental authority
relating to the business of the Tenant and the uses and purposes for which
the Premises shall be utilized, is and during the term hereof shall remain

would result in a change in or addition to its SIC Number without the
prior written consent of Landlord, such consent not to be unreasonably
withheld.

shall be responsible for any environmental conditions at the Premises
existing on the date of this Lease and Tenant shall have no responsibility
for any remediation thereof.

brought against Landlord by reason of any such claim. Landlord reserves
the right, at its cost and expense, to join in the defense of any such
action or claim with co-counsel of its choosing, which co-counsel shall
cooperate with Tenant's counsel in the defense of any such action.
6.2 The liability of Tenant to indemnify Landlord as set forth in Section
6.1 shall not extend to any matter against which Landlord shall be
protected by insurance, provided, however, that if any such liability
shall exceed the amount of the effective and collectible insurance in
question, the said liability of Tenant shall apply to such excess.

loss or damage by fire and against loss or damage by vandalism and
malicious mischief and by other risks now or hereafter embraced by the

amounts at all times sufficient to prevent Landlord or Tenant from
becoming a co-insurer under the terms of the applicable policies and not
less than the full replacement value of the insurable improvements to the
Premises. The term "full replacement value" shall mean actual replacement
value (exclusive of cost of excavation, foundations and footings). Such
"full replacement value" shall be determined from time to time at the
request of Landlord, by one of the insurers or, at the option of Tenant,

Tenant. No omission on the part of Landlord to request any such
determination shall relieve Tenant of any of its obligations under this
Article.
(b) Fire and extended coverage insurance insuring all improvements,
additions, fixtures and contents installed or owned by Tenant in, on or at
the Premises, against loss or damage by fire and against loss or damage by
vandalism and malicious mischief and by other risks now or hereafter
embraced by the standard "All Risk" extended coverage endorsement used in
the State of New Jersey, in amounts equal to the full replacement value of
such improvements, alterations, additions, fixtures and contents. said
insurance shall be deemed to cover Tenant's property and not Landlord's
property.
(c) Comprehensive general public liability insurance, insuring Landlord
and Tenant against liability for injury and death to persons, or property
damage, including water damage and legal liability, occurring in or about
the Premises or arising out of the ownership, maintenance, use or
occupancy thereof including, without limitation, damage to natural
resources or other properties caused by releases of hazardous substances
or any other form of pollution. The liability under such insurance shall
not be less than TWO MILLION DOLLARS ($2,000,000) combined single limit in
respect of personal injury or death to any person or persons and/or
property damage. Such liability policy shall include a Broad Form Broad
Form Comprehensive General Liability endorsement.
(d) Plate glass insurance.
(e) Flood insurance if required by Landlord's mortgagee.
(f) Boiler and pressure vessel insurance including pressure pipes.
(g) Rental income insurance covering the Basic Rent, and real estate taxes

(i) Such other insurance on the Premises and in such amounts as may from
time to time be reasonably required by Landlord against other insurable
hazards which at the time are commonly insured against in the case of
premises similarly situated.
7.2 (a) All insurance provided for in Section 7.1 hereof, if readily
obtainable, shall be effected under standard form policies issued by
insurers of recognized responsibility, authorized to do business in the
State of New Jersey which are well rated by national rating organizations
and have been approved in writing by Landlord, such approval not to be
unreasonably withheld. Landlord and Tenant, and at the Landlord's request,
Landlord's mortgagee, shall be named insureds on such insurance policies.
(b) All policies of insurance (except liability insurance, fire and
casualty insurance on Tenant's property and rental income insurance) shall
provide by endorsement that any loss shall be adjusted with Landlord, and
any mortgagee of the Premises and payable to the Landlord or any mortgagee
as their respective interests may appear. The rental income insurance
policy shall be payable to Landlord and the fire and casualty insurance on
Tenant's property shall be payable to Tenant and Tenant's lender, if any.

provided and each certificate therefor issued by the insurer shall contain
an agreement by the insurer that such policy shall not be canceled or
modified without at least thirty (30) days prior written notice to
Landlord and to any mortgagee to whom a loss thereunder may be payable.
7.3 Upon the commencement of this Lease, Tenant shall deliver to Landlord
evidence of the above'-mentioned insurance coverage satisfactory to
counsel for Landlord. No later than fifteen (15) days prior to the
expiration of any policy of insurance required to be maintained by Tenant
under this Lease, Tenant shall deliver to Landlord evidence of the renewal
of the above-mentioned insurance coverage satisfactory to counsel for
Landlord. Upon Tenant's failure to comply in full with this Article 7,
Landlord shall have the immediate right to obtain the aforesaid insurance
coverage, to pay the premiums therefor and to add the said premiums
together with interest at the rate of eighteen (18%) percent per annum. or
the highest lawful rate, whichever is less, to the monthly installment of
rent next due, which amount shall be paid by Tenant to Landlord as
additional rent, in addition to said monthly installment.
7.4 Tenant shall not take out separate insurance (other than personal
liability insurance) concurrent in form or contributing in the event of
loss with that required in this Article to be furnished by, or which may
reasonably be required to be furnished by Tenant unless Landlord is
included therein as an insured, with loss payable as in this Lease
provided. Tenant shall immediately notify Landlord of the taking out of
any such separate insurance and shall deliver the policy or policies as
provided in Section 7.3 hereof.
7.5 Landlord reserves the right to require increased coverage as to the
liability insurance to be provided as hereinabove referred to, as the same
may be required to take into effect cost of living and/or inflationary
effects on the dollar value of the liability coverage, in order to affect
reasonable protection under then existing economic conditions. If at any
time during the term of this Lease Landlord shall request that the amount
of public liability insurance provided by Tenant as required by the
provisions of this Article 7 be increased on the ground that such coverage
is inadequate to properly protect the interests of Landlord, and Tenant
shall refuse to comply with such request or requirement, the dispute shall
be submitted to arbitration in New Jersey under the auspices and rules of
the American Arbitration Association and judgment upon any award of such
arbitrators may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction.

connection with insurance policies required to be furnished in accordance
with the terms and conditions of this Lease, or in connection with
insurance policies which they obtain insuring such insurable interest as
Landlord or Tenant may have in its own properties, whether personal or
real, shall expressly waive any right of subrogation on the part of the
insurer against Landlord or Tenant as the same may be applicable, and
Landlord and Tenant each mutually waive all right of recovery against each
other, their officers, directors, agents or employees for any loss, damage
or injury of any nature whatsoever to property or person for which either
party is required by this Lease to carry insurance, if the loss, damage or
injury shall have been caused by the event, fault or negligence of the
other party or anyone for whom such party may be responsible.
8. Assignment
8. 1 Supplementing Article 4th of the printed Lease, if at any time the
original Tenant named herein or the then Tenant or any Guarantor shall be
a corporation or partnership, any transfer of voting stock or partnership
interest resulting in the person(s) who shall have owned a majority of
such corporation's shares of voting stock or the general partners'
interest in such partnership, as the case may be, immediately before such
transfer, ceasing to own a majority of such shares of voting stock or
general partners' interest, as the case may be, except a s the result of
transfers by inheritance, shall be deemed to be an assignment of this
Lease as to which Landlord's consent shall have been required, and in any
such event Tenant shall so notify Landlord, except that this provision
shall not be applicable to any corporation all the outstanding voting
stock of which is listed on a national securities exchange (as defined in
the Securities Exchange Act of 1954, as amended). For the purposes of
this Section, the words "voting stock" shall refer to shares of stock
regularly entitled to vote for the election of directors of the
corporation. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Tenant shall have the right
to assign this Lease or sublet the Premises to Modern Medical Modalities
Corporation or its subsidiaries without the consent of the Landlord,
provided that the Tenant shall remain liable under this Lease and a copy
of the assignment or sublease shall be delivered to the Landlord and any
assignee shall assume the obligations of the Tenant under this Lease.
8.2 The making of any assignment, mortgage, pledge, encumbrance or
subletting, in whole or in part, whether or not with the consent of
Landlord, shall not operate to relieve Tenant from its obligations under
this Lease and, notwithstanding any such assignment, mortgage, pledge,
encumbrance or subletting, Tenant shall remain liable for the payment of
the rental and other charges and for the due performance of all the
covenants, agreements, terms and provisions of this Lease to the full end
of the term of this Lease, and whether or not there shall have been any
prior termination of this Lease by summary proceedings or otherwise. The
acceptance of rent by Landlord from any person, firm or entity other than
Tenant shall not be deemed to be a waiver by Landlord of any provision
hereof. The consent by Landlord to any assignment, mortgaging or
subletting by others shall be deemed to be a consent only for the
assignment, mortgage or subletting requested, and shall not in way be
considered to relieve Tenant from obtaining the express written consent of
Landlord to any other or further assignment, mortgaging or subletting.
8.3 In the event of any assignment or subletting by Tenant, any rent
(determined on a per square foot basis) or other compensation other than a
pass-through of the obligations of Tenant hereunder received by Tenant in
excess of the Basic Rent of Tenant under this Lease (determined on a per
square foot basis) shall belong to Landlord, and Tenant shall account for
same and remit same to Landlord promptly upon receipt. Tenant shall
deliver to Landlord a copy of any instrument of assignment or sublease at
the effective date thereof.
8.4 In the event Tenant shall assign or sublet the Premises or request the
consent of Landlord to any assignment or subletting, or if Tenant shall
request the consent of Landlord for any act that Tenant proposes to do,
then Tenant shall pay Landlord's reasonable attorneys fees incurred in
connection therewith.
9. Late Payment
Tenant agrees that as a material inducement to Landlord to enter into this
Lease, it will pay the rent and other charges as herein provided, promptly
on the first day of each and every month or as otherwise in this Lease
provided as to the additional rent and charges as herein provided. Without
waiving any of Landlord's other remedies for failure to pay rent as in
this Lease contained, Tenant agrees that any rent not paid by the tenth
(loth) day of any month shall require payment by Tenant of a late charge
of eight cents ($.08) for each dollar of rental payment required, which
payment shall be made in such event by Tenant with the required payment of
rent, if late, together with interest on amounts overdue from the date
thereof computed at the rate of eighteen (18%) percent per annum, which
payment for late charges and interest in any event shall be made by Tenant
upon demand if not otherwise theretofore paid. Anything hereinabove
contained to the contrary notwithstanding, it is expressly understood and
agreed that any pattern of consecutive late payment of rent or other
charges as required in this Lease shall be deemed a default pursuant to
the terms and conditions of this Lease, for which Landlord shall have such
rights or remedies as in this Lease provided.
10. Waiver of Landlord's Liability
Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary, Tenant shall look solely to
the equity of Landlord in and to the portion of the Premises then owned by
Landlord or, if there shall be any ground or underlying lease, the equity
of Landlord in and to the leasehold interest of Landlord under such ground
or underlying lease, in the event of a breach or default by Landlord
pursuant to the provisions of this Lease, and Tenant agrees that the
liability of Landlord under this Lease shall not exceed the value of such
equity of Landlord in the Premises or in said leasehold interest, as the
case may be. No other properties or assets of Landlord shall be subject to
levy, execution or enforcement procedures for the satisfaction of any
judgment (or other judicial process) arising out of, or in connection
with, this Lease; and if Tenant shall acquire a lien on any such other
properties or assets by judgment or otherwise, Tenant shall promptly
release such lien on such other properties and assets by executing,
acknowledging and delivering to Landlord an instrument to that effect
prepared by Landlord's attorneys.
11. Attorneys Fees
In the event of any default by Tenant under this Lease, Landlord shall be
entitled in addition to any other rights and remedies hereunder, to the
reimbursement by Tenant of all costs and reasonable attorney's fees
incurred by Landlord in the exercise of its rights and remedies.
12. Transfer of Landlord's Interest
It is expressly understood and agreed that the term "Landlord," as used in
this Lease, means only the owner for the time being of the Premises, and
in the event of the sale, assignment or transfer by such owner of its
interest in all or part of the Premises, such owner shall thereupon be
released and discharged from all covenants and obligations of Landlord
thereafter accruing with respect to the portion of the Premises so
transferred; but such covenants and obligations shall be binding upon each
new owner for the time being of the Premises or any part thereof.
13. Surrender by Tenant At End of Term
Tenant will surrender possession of the Premises and remove all goods and
chattels and other personal property in the possession of Tenant, by
whomsoever owned, at the end of the term of this Lease, or at such other
time as Landlord may be entitled to re-enter and take possession of the
Premises pursuant to any provision of this Lease, and leave the Premises
broom clean and free of occupants and in as good order and condition as
they were at the beginning of the term, reasonable wear and tear excepted,
together with all alterations, additions and improvements in, to or on the
Premises made by Tenant as permitted under the' Lease, subject to
Landlord's right to require Tenant at its cost and expense to remove any
alterations or improvements installed by Tenant and not permitted or
consented to by Landlord pursuant to the terms and conditions of the
Lease, so as to restore the Premises to the condition found at the
inception of the Lease term, which covenant by Tenant shall survive the
surrender and the delivery of the Premises as provided hereunder. For
purposes of this Article 13, ordinary wear and tear is deemed not to
include conditions created by Tenant due specifically to its operation
within the Premises, including but not limited to foreign substances
emitted by its machinery and equipment or other conditions specifically
produced by Tenant's operations and use of the Premises. In default of
such surrender of possession and removal of goods and chattels at the time
aforesaid, Tenant will pay to Landlord twice the rent reserved by the
terms of this Lease for such period as Tenant either holds over possession
of the Premises or allows its goods and chattels or other personal
property in its possession at such time to remain in the Premises, and in
addition thereto statutory penalties and all other damages which Landlord
shall suffer by reason of Tenant holding over in violation of the terms
and provisions of this Lease, including all reasonable claims for damages
made by any succeeding Tenant or purchaser of the Premises against
Landlord which may be founded upon delay by Landlord in giving possession
of the Premises to such succeeding Tenant or purchaser, so far as such
damages are occasioned by the holding over of Tenant.
14. Broker
The parties hereto acknowledge that no broker is entitled to any finders
fee, commission or similar compensation in connection with this Lease.
15. No Recording
It is understood between the parties hereto that this Lease will not be
recorded.
16. Waiver of Trial by Jury
Landlord and Tenant hereby mutually waive their rights to trial by jury in
any action, proceeding or counterclaim brought by either of the parties
hereto against the other on any matters whatsoever arising out of or in
any way connected with this Lease, Tenant's use or occupancy of the
Premises, and any claim of injury or damage.
17. Article Headings
The article headings in this Lease Agreement are for convenience of
reference only and shall not be deemed to define, limit, or describe the
scope and intent of this Agreement, or alter or affect any provisions.
18. Lease Not Offer
This Lease is transmitted for examination only, and does not constitute an
offer to lease, and this Lease shall become effective only upon execution
thereof by the parties hereto. No rights are to be conferred upon Tenant
until this Lease has been executed by Landlord and an executed copy of
this Lease has been delivered to Tenant.
19. Certain Special Provisions
As long as Stephen Findlay shall be President of the Tenant, Tenant cannot
be in default under this Lease unless the Tenant's noncompliance with this
Lease is as a result of a decision by the Board of Directors of Tenant not
to comply with the terms of this Lease over the objection of the said
Stephen Findlay. The provisions of this Section 19 shall terminate at such
time as Stephen Findlay shall cease to be President of Tenant for any
reason whatsoever.
