PROSPECTUS SUMMARY
THIS SUMMARY HIGHLIGHTS INFORMATION CONTAINED ELSEWHERE IN THIS PROSPECTUS.
THE FOLLOWING IS NOT COMPLETE AND MAY NOT CONTAIN ALL OF THE INFORMATION THAT
INVESTORS SHOULD CONSIDER BEFORE INVESTING IN OUR SECURITIES. INVESTORS SHOULD
READ THE ENTIRE PROSPECTUS CAREFULLY, INCLUDING THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS THAT
ARE A PART OF THIS PROSPECTUS.
OUR BUSINESS
We are positioning ourselves to become a leading consolidator in the digital
graphics industry and we believe we will be one of the largest digital graphics
companies in the Southeastern United States. Our comprehensive electronic
commerce applications allow businesses to privately access their own virtual
portfolio of digitally created printed graphics and multimedia applications
through our fully secure web site. These products range from full motion video
for the Internet, catalogues on CD-ROM, 100-foot printed billboards, trade show
graphics and retail displays. Each business can receive updated price quotes,
make modifications, authorize production, and generally manage their printing
and multimedia requirements, from any Windows-based, Internet-enabled computer.
Our customers generally should realize a decrease in the length of the
production cycle from price quote to the delivery of their order. We believe our
applications of leading edge Internet and digital technology enables us to be
price-competitive while providing customers with the highest level of security,
selection, speed and support.
We have entered into agreements to acquire the stock or the assets of seven
companies in the digital printing or multimedia businesses. One of these
companies specializes in the design and production of multimedia advertising,
marketing and presentation applications for delivery over the Internet and
CD-ROM. The others are commercial digital printing companies located in the
United States and the Republic of South Africa.
Commercial digital graphics involves the production of a wide range of
marketing, advertising and media imaging and digital printing using cutting-edge
software and digital printing equipment. It is the digitizing of the input that
reduces production time, costs and errors and provides the flexibility to handle
small, specialized jobs as easily as producing simple, mass-produced jobs.
Digital printing and imaging customers include companies of all sizes and in all
industries where full-color imaging and production are required. Our digital
printing technologies enable us to receive and deliver customer services most
effectively through our Internet applications.
OUR INDUSTRY
THE GROWTH OF BUSINESS-TO-BUSINESS ELECTRONIC COMMERCE
The Internet has emerged as a revolutionary force in the way businesses
operate, having evolved from a research medium to a venue for consumer-oriented
commerce. Estimates are that Internet business-to-business commerce reached a
record $43 billion in 1998. Furthermore, they predict that business-to-business
electronic commerce will grow to a staggering $1.3 trillion by 2003 and will
represent more than 90% of the total e-commerce market.
Advances in computer technology and telecommunications have enabled
businesses to link directly to their suppliers, providing shortened lead times
for purchases and better decision-making controls. The advent of the Internet
and its commercial applications has accelerated the trend of increased
efficiency related to business purchases with a number of additional benefits,
such as:
- Global reach for broader selection of products and services;
- Reduced costs and greater economies of scale;
- Ability to access suppliers from any computer with Internet access; and
- The technology to customize customer interfaces, creating greater
convenience and ease of use.

<PAGE>
THE PRINTING INDUSTRY
We believe digital technology in the printing and graphic design industries
is being under utilized. Most digital print operations are small and lack the
requisite capital, equipment and technical expertise to deliver the full range
of benefits offered by digital technology. It is projected that there will be
more than $18 billion in total worldwide revenue from all digital printing
services and products by 2001. We believe this growth will be demand-driven,
predicated upon continued advancements in digital technology. As a prospective
leader in the digital graphics industry, we expect to be well positioned to
satisfy this demand.
E-commerce via the Internet offers a tremendous opportunity. The Internet is
an exceptional medium for the delivery of digital graphics in a wide variety of
formats. The synergy between digital technology and the Internet should continue
to transform, and we believe, replace an ever-increasing portion of conventional
printing services and products.
OUR STRATEGY
Our objective is to be the leading Internet-based business-to-business
digital graphics and multimedia company in the world. The key elements of our
business strategy include:
- Focusing primarily on the Internet business-to-business market for digital
printing services, expected to grow to approximately $18 billion by 2001,
up from approximately $5 billion in 1998;
- Continuing to upgrade and enhance the front-end of our e-commerce
presence, while acquiring carefully targeted commercial printing companies
in this highly fragmented industry to support the back-end;
- Utilizing the most current digital graphics and multimedia technology
available to maintain a technological edge over our competition;
- Expanding beyond traditional printing products and services into
multimedia video and audio business-to-business applications primarily
tailored for the Internet and CD-ROM;
- Making the process of creating, approving, ordering and fulfilling
printing jobs more efficient by allowing customers to handle much of this
process from their desktops;
- Tailoring end-to-end business solutions to our customer's needs by
integrating design, production, and distribution services.
ACQUISITIONS
We have entered into agreements to purchase the stock or assets of companies
that have operating histories ranging from startup to 11 years with strong,
experienced management teams, solid customer bases and reputations of providing
the highest levels of quality service and products. These companies further our
goal of providing a full range of digital graphic products and services to other
geographic areas and increasing our market share in the Southeastern United
States and the Republic of South Africa. We will continue to analyze future
acquisitions in the United States, Europe and South Africa. We have entered into
agreements with the following companies:
- Magnum Digital Services specializes in a process known as dye sublimation,
in which digital images are applied to a variety of mediums ranging from
paper to stone and just about any medium in between. The delicate
sublimation process heats the ink until it becomes a gas, at which time
the image is transferred in to, rather than on to, the medium. The company
is located in Coconut Creek, Florida and has been operating for five
years.
- Advertising That Works is a wholesaler, fabricator, and finisher of
banners and screen printed posters. This company expects to be 100%
digital by the third quarter of 2000. The company is located in Atlanta,
Georgia and has been operating for 10 years.

- Stonehouse Graphics is quickly becoming the largest billboard and backlit
fabricator in the Republic of South Africa. The company accounts for 40%
of the billboard printing done in southern Africa. The company, which is
100% digital, is located in Johannesburg, South Africa and has been
operating for 11 years.
- Display Arts specializes in trade show graphics and trade show display
booths. They are the exclusive regional distributor for Nimlock products,
a leading display manufacturing company. The company has locations in
Nashville, Memphis, and Knoxville, Tennessee and has been operating for
10 years.
- Top Copy specializes in copying services and offset print services. They
cater to small business as well as the retail trade. The company is
located in Cape Town, South Africa and has been operating for three years.
We will be acquiring the assets of Top Copy.
- Virtual Colour Group is one of the leaders in digital services technology
in South Africa. They are a fully digital shop offering both design and
print services for brochures, catalogs, and magazines on an international
basis. The company is located in Cape Town, South Africa and has been
operating for four years. The Virtual Colour Group consists of six
companies that are operated as a single entity. Throughout this
prospectus, we refer to the four companies whose assets we are acquiring
as a single group called Virtual Colour Group.
- Jamberry Lake Digital Media specializes in producing digital products and
services for use on the Internet, as well as traditional marketing and
promotional campaigns, revolving around CD- and mini CD-ROM. They achieve
this by providing full motion video products and services including real
estate tours, digital catalogues, and e-mail kiosks. The company is
located in Summit, New Jersey and has been operating since August 1999.

RISK FACTORS
AN INVESTMENT IN OUR SECURITIES INVOLVES A HIGH DEGREE OF RISK. IN ADDITION
TO THE OTHER INFORMATION IN THIS PROSPECTUS, YOU SHOULD CAREFULLY CONSIDER THE
FOLLOWING RISK FACTORS BEFORE INVESTING IN OUR SECURITIES.
WE HAVE A LIMITED OPERATING HISTORY AND MAY FACE DIFFICULTIES ENCOUNTERED BY
EARLY STAGE COMPANIES IN NEW AND RAPIDLY EVOLVING MARKETS. Although some of our
targeted acquisitions have historical operating histories, we have a limited
operating history and have only been providing our services and digital graphics
products since July 1997. As a result, we have a limited basis upon which you
may evaluate our business and prospects. Our prospects must be considered in
light of the risks, expenses, delays, problems and difficulties frequently
experienced by early stage companies.
WE HAVE INCURRED NET LOSSES SINCE COMMENCING OUR BUSINESS AND EXPECT LOSSES
FROM OPERATIONS IN THE FUTURE. We have not achieved profitability and expect to
continue to incur operating losses for the foreseeable future. For our fiscal
year that ended November 30, 1997, our net loss was $(86,644) on total revenue
of $513. For our fiscal year that ended November 30, 1998, our net loss was
$(307,913) on total revenue of $127,191. Through the interim period ended
August 31, 1999, our net loss was $(360,995) on total revenue of $57,351. We
expect to continue to incur significant operating and capital expenditures and,
as a result, we expect significant net losses in the future and we will need to
generate significant revenues to achieve and maintain profitability.
WE MAY BE UNABLE TO MEET OUR FUTURE CAPITAL REQUIREMENTS. Based on our
current operating plan, we anticipate that the net proceeds of this offering and
cash provided by operations will allow us to meet our cash and capital
requirements for at least 12 months following the date of this prospectus. We
may require additional funding sooner than anticipated. If we raise additional
capital through the sale of equity, including preferred stock, or convertible
debt securities, the percentage of ownership of our stockholders will be
diluted.
We currently do not have a credit facility or any commitments for additional
financing. We cannot be certain that additional financing will be available when
and to the extent required. If adequate funds are not available on acceptable
terms, we may be unable to fund our expansion, develop or enhance our services
or respond to competitive pressures.
SINCE THE E-COMMERCE DIGITAL GRAPHICS MARKET IS RELATIVELY NEW, WE DO NOT
KNOW IF OUR SERVICES WILL GENERATE MARKET ACCEPTANCE. The commercial market for
e-commerce digital graphics services and products is relatively new and we do
not know if our products and services will generate widespread market
acceptance. Several factors may contribute to our products and services not
achieving broad market acceptance, which include:
- Failure to build brand recognition of ColorSmart.com;
- Increased competition among other consolidators; and
- Failure of clientele to use our electronic commerce site.
SINCE WE UTILIZE E-COMMERCE APPLICATIONS OVER THE INTERNET, THERE ARE RISKS
TO OUR BUSINESS THAT ARE ASSOCIATED WITH ONLINE COMMERCE. A significant barrier
to online commerce is the secure transmission of confidential information over
public networks. We rely on encryption and authentication technology licensed
from third parties to effect secure transmission of confidential information.
Advances in computer capabilities, new discoveries in cryptography, or other
developments may result in a breach of the algorithms we use to protect customer
data. If any compromise of our security occurs, it would injure our reputation
and could impact the success of our business.
THE TECHNOLOGIES WE USE IN OUR DIGITAL GRAPHICS BUSINESS ARE SUBJECT TO
RAPID TECHNOLOGICAL CHANGE AND COULD CAUSE US TO MAKE SIGNIFICANT CAPITAL
INVESTMENT IN NEW EQUIPMENT. Our market is characterized by rapid technological
changes. Newer technologies, techniques or products for the delivery of digital
7
<PAGE>
graphics, and the other ancillary services we offer, could be developed with
better performance than the technologies that we use. The availability of new
and better digital graphics technologies could require us to make significant
investments in technology, render our current technology obsolete and have a
significant negative impact on our business and results of operations.
OUR BUSINESS FACES RISKS ASSOCIATED WITH UNCERTAINTIES ASSOCIATED WITH THE
INTERNET AND ELECTRONIC COMMERCE. A number of legislative and regulatory
proposals under consideration by federal, state, local and foreign governmental
organizations may lead to laws or regulations concerning various aspects of the
Internet, including:
- online content;
- user privacy;
- taxation;
- access charges;
- liability for third-party activities; and

In addition, the applicability to the Internet of existing laws is
uncertain. The adoption of new laws is uncertain. The adoption of new laws or
the application of existing laws may decrease the use of the Internet, which
would decrease the demand for our services, increase our cost of doing business
or otherwise have an adverse effect on our business.
Certain telephone carriers claim that the increasing popularity of the
Internet has burdened the existing telecommunications infrastructure and that
many areas with high Internet use are experiencing interruptions in telephone
service. These carriers have petitioned the Federal Communications Commission to
impose access fees on Internet service providers. If these access fees are
imposed, the costs of communicating on the Internet could increase, which could
decrease demand for our services and increase our cost of doing business.
THE NATURE OF OUR PRINTING AND GRAPHICS BUSINESS IS SUCH THAT OPERATING
RESULTS MAY FLUCTUATE DUE TO A NUMBER OF FACTORS, SUCH AS THE SUCCESS OF OUR
ACQUISITIONS, OUR CUSTOMER BUYING PATTERNS AND OVERALL TRENDS IN THE
ECONOMY. Our quarterly operating results have fluctuated as a result of a
number of factors, including overall trends in the economy, acquisitions of the
new businesses that we have under contract and customer buying patterns. We
compete in the commercial graphics arts and design and printing sectors, which
are characterized by individual orders from customers for specific printing
projects rather than long-term contracts, with continued engagement for
successive jobs dependent upon the customers' satisfaction with the services we
provide. As such, we are not able to predict, for more than a few months in
advance, the number, size and profitability of printing jobs in a given period.
Consequently, the timing of projects in any quarter could have a significant
impact on financial results in that quarter. Quarterly results in the future may
be influenced by these or other factors and, accordingly, there may be
significant variations in our quarterly operating results.
WE HAVE RECENTLY ENTERED INTO AGREEMENTS TO ACQUIRE THE STOCK OR ASSETS OF
SEVEN SEPARATE BUSINESSES PERFORMING DIGITAL PRINTING AND MULTIMEDIA SERVICES.
THESE ACQUISITIONS MAY HAVE ADVERSE EFFECTS ON OUR OPERATING RESULTS. A
significant element of our growth strategy is to expand by acquiring digital
printing companies. Initially, our strategy has been focused on targets located
in the Southeastern United States and in the Republic of South Africa. There can
be no assurance that we will be able to identify and acquire such companies, nor
that we will be able to finance significant acquisitions in the future. Any
acquisition may initially have an adverse effect upon our operating results
while the acquired businesses are adopting our management's practices. In
addition, there can be no assurance that we will be able to establish, maintain
or increase profitability of a business we acquire.
8
<PAGE>
IF WE ARE UNABLE TO IMPLEMENT OUR ACQUISITION STRATEGY, WE MAY NOT SUCCEED
OR MAY BE LESS SUCCESSFUL IN THE FUTURE. A key component of our growth strategy
is accomplished by acquiring digital printing companies located throughout the
United States and overseas. While there are many such companies, we may not
always be able to identify and acquire printing companies meeting our
acquisition criteria on terms acceptable to us. Additionally, some of our
competitors have developed growth strategies similar to ours and thus the
competition for acquisition candidates is constantly increasing within the
printing industry. Financing needed to complete significant acquisitions may not
always be available to us on satisfactory terms. Further, our acquisition
strategy presents a number of special risks to us that we would not otherwise
experience, including possible adverse effects on our earnings, diversion of
management's attention from our core business due to special attention to the
businesses acquired, our failure to retain key acquired personnel and risks
associated with unanticipated events or liabilities arising after our
acquisitions have been completed, some or all of which could have a material
adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
WE MAY EXPERIENCE DIFFICULTY IN INTEGRATING THE ACQUIRED BUSINESSES AND
ASSETS INTO OUR OPERATIONS. If we are unable to manage and integrate our
pending acquisitions after we consummate the purchases, we may at some point in
the future experience difficulty in profitably managing all of the acquired
businesses or successfully integrating the acquired businesses as a whole
without substantial costs, delays or other operational or financial problems
that we had not previously experienced. Our acquisitions may also initially have
an adverse effect upon our operating results while the acquired business is
adopting our management practices. We may not in all circumstances be able to
establish, maintain or increase profitability of an acquired entity.
WE MAY NOT COMPETE EFFECTIVELY WITH OTHER DIGITAL GRAPHICS COMPANIES THAT
HAVE MORE RESOURCES AND EXPERIENCE THAN US. Many of our competitors have
substantially greater financial, technical, managerial, marketing and other
resources than we do and they may compete more effectively than we can. We
compete with MasterGraphics, Inc., Consolidated Graphics, Inc., Imagex, Inc.,
and Integrated Graphics, Inc. in offering our services and products. Since we
are a specialty printer, we also have competition from small fragmented print
shops that operate in the same geographic areas as we do. If our competitors
offer digital graphics services at lower prices than we do, we may have to lower
the prices we charge, which will adversely affect our results of operations.
SIGNIFICANT DECREASES IN DIGITAL GRAPHICS PRICES COULD HARM OUR BUSINESS BY
MAKING IT MORE ATTRACTIVE FOR SMALLER PRINT SHOPS AND DIGITAL GRAPHICS
BUSINESSES TO BUY THEIR OWN DIGITAL GRAPHICS EQUIPMENT AND TECHNOLOGIES AND
FORCE US TO LOWER PRICES. A significant reduction in the price of our digital
graphics equipment could reduce the demand for our products and services by
making it economically more attractive for other small businesses to buy their
own digital graphics equipment instead of utilizing our services. Also,
equipment price decreases could force us to reduce our fees in response to this
reduction in demand or as a means to remain competitive with digital graphics
service providers.
OUR MANAGEMENT WILL CONTROL 46.9% OF OUR COMMON STOCK AFTER THIS OFFERING
AND THEIR INTERESTS MAY BE DIFFERENT FROM AND CONFLICT WITH YOURS. Following
this offering, our executive officers and directors will beneficially own a
total of approximately 46.9% of our outstanding common stock assuming that there
is no exercise of the underwriter's over-allotment option, and approximately 50%
if the underwriter's over-allotment option is exercised in full. Accordingly, if
our management acts together, they have the power to control the election of all
of our directors and the approval of significant corporate transactions for
which the approval of our stockholders is required. If you purchase our
securities, you may have no effective voice in our management.
THE MANNER IN WHICH WE OBTAIN OUR DIGITAL GRAPHICS EQUIPMENT INCREASES OUR
LEVERAGE AND FINANCE COSTS. We may finance the purchases of our digital
graphics equipment. The use of leverage to finance our equipment increases our
risk of loss as opposed to if we borrowed a smaller portion or none of the
purchase price of this equipment. Our risk is increased because we must satisfy
these obligations on
9
<PAGE>
specific dates, regardless of our revenues. If we do not meet our debt service
payments when due, we may be forced to forfeit the equipment securing the debt.
OUR SUCCESS DEPENDS UPON THE EFFORTS OF, AND OUR ABILITY TO RETAIN, KEY
PERSONNEL, INCLUDING OUR CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER. We believe that the efforts
of our senior management and key employees, particularly that of our chief
executive officer, Roger D. Finchum Sr., are essential to our operations and
growth. We have entered into a two-year employment agreement with Mr. Finchum,
and we intend to obtain key man life insurance on the life of Mr. Finchum in the
amount of $1,000,000 prior to the completion of this public offering. If we do
not succeed in retaining or motivating our current personnel or in hiring
additional qualified employees, our business will be materially adversely
affected. In addition, competition for personnel in our industry, including the
people that perform our services, is intense and there can be no assurance that
we will be able to attract and retain the necessary personnel.
THE REPRESENTATIVE OF THE UNDERWRITERS WILL CONTINUE TO HAVE INFLUENCE OVER
US FOLLOWING THE COMPLETION OF THIS PUBLIC OFFERING. We have given Nutmeg
Securities, Ltd., the representative of the underwriters, the right, for a
period of two years from the completion of this offering, to designate
Daniel F. Guifoile of Nutmeg Securities, Ltd. as an observer to our board of
directors. Although this designated observer will have no voting privileges as a
director, he will have the right to receive notices of our directors' meetings
and may have some influence over decisions made by our board of directors during
the two-year period. Upon completion of this offering, the representative will
also receive, for nominal consideration, warrants to purchase 300,000 shares of
our common stock.
FAILURE OF COMPUTER SYSTEMS AND SOFTWARE PRODUCTS TO BE YEAR 2000 COMPLIANT
COULD NEGATIVELY IMPACT OUR BUSINESS. Many current installed computer systems
and software products only accept two digits to identify the year in any date.
Thus, the Year 2000 will appear as "00," which the system might consider to be
the Year 1900 rather than the Year 2000. This could result in system failures,
delays or miscalculations causing disruptions to our operations. The failure of
systems maintained by third parties to be Year 2000 compliant could cause us to
incur significant expense to remedy any problems, reduce our revenues from such
third parties or otherwise seriously damage our business. Our failure to correct
a material Year 2000 problem could result in an interruption in, or a failure
of, some of our normal business activities or operations.
THERE ARE INHERENT RISKS WITH REGARD TO THE COMPANIES' OPERATIONS IN SOUTH
AFRICA. After consolidation, we will be operating three businesses in South
Africa. As with any overseas operations the presiding political and economic
climate may have an impact on our overseas operating subsidiaries. Currently,
the South African economy suffers from both high unemployment and high
inflation. Should the South African economy become severely unstable, this could
have a significant negative impact on our business and results of operations.
THERE MAY BE CURRENCY AND EXCHANGE RATE RISKS WITH OPERATING OUR BUSINESS IN
THE REPUBLIC OF SOUTH AFRICA. Some of the revenues we may generate in South
Africa after we consummate the purchase agreements with our South African
acquisitions will be in South African Rands, not in U.S. dollars. The value of
the currency in South Africa fluctuates as compared to the U.S. dollar, and as a
result, revenues that may be generated from our prospective operations in South
Africa may have more or less value from time to time as compared to the U.S.
dollar. These currency and exchange rate risks associated with our pending South
African acquisitions may have a negative effect on our overall financial
condition and results of operations.
CAUTIONARY NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
This prospectus contains forward-looking statements. These forward-looking
statements are not historical facts, but rather are based on our current
expectations, estimates, and projections about our industry, our beliefs and
assumptions. Words including "may," "could," "would," "will," "anticipates,"
10
<PAGE>
"expects," "intends," "plans," "projects," "beliefs," "seeks," "estimates," and
similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements. These
statements are not guarantees of future performance and are subject to certain
risks, uncertainties and other factors, some of which are beyond our control,
are difficult to predict and could cause actual results to differ materially
from those expressed or forecasted in the forward-looking statements. These
risks and uncertainties are described in "Risk Factors" and elsewhere in this
prospectus. We caution you not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking
statements, which reflect our management's view only as of the date of this
prospectus. We are not obligated to update these statements or publicly release
the result of any revisions to them to reflect events or circumstances after the
date of this prospectus or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events.
USE OF PROCEEDS
We estimate that we will receive net proceeds of approximately $21,840,000
from our sale of the 2,000,000 shares offered hereby, assuming an initial public
offering price of $12.00 per share and excluding expenses of the offering. If
the underwriters exercise their over-allotment option in full, we will receive
net proceeds of approximately $25,116,000. These amounts are after deducting
estimated underwriting discounts and commissions, and after fees and expenses of
approximately $500,000, payable by us. We intend to use the net proceeds as
follows:

=========== =====
</TABLE>
We intend to use approximately 40.3% of the net proceeds of this offering as
the cash portion of the purchase prices for completion of the seven pending
acquisitions we have under agreements, all of which should be consummated
concurrently with the completion of this offering.
Of our total net proceeds, we have allocated 13.7% of the net proceeds for
the purchase or upgrading of digital printing equipment for the companies we
intend to acquire pursuant to our pending acquisition agreements, as well as for
facilities costs associated with building improvements to be made in several
locations where we will operate the newly acquired companies and their assets.
11.4% of the net proceeds of our offering are allocated to sales and
marketing expenditures that will include advertising and banner costs associated
with our advertising programs on the Internet, expansion and re-design of our
web-site to include descriptions of our newly acquired acquisitions, and a
marketing program intended to inform our prospective customer base of our
products and services.
A small portion of our net proceeds will be utilized for expansion of our
internal corporate operations, which include expanding our computer networks,
equipment for our corporate office facilities, software and new web-site
development costs. Approximately 4.6% of the net proceeds will be allocated for
costs associated with hiring additional personnel.
The proposed allocation of the net proceeds represents our best estimate of
the allocation of the net proceeds of the offering based upon the current status
of our operations, our current plans and current economic conditions. We may
reallocate the net proceeds among the categories listed above. We also may, when
the opportunity arises, acquire or invest in complementary businesses, products
or technologies. However, we have no present understandings, commitments or
agreements with respect to any acquisition
11
<PAGE>
or investment other than our seven pending acquisitions. Any net proceeds
received from the sale of the underwriter's over-allotment option will be
allocated to working capital and general corporate purposes.
We anticipate that the net proceeds of this offering along with cash
provided by operations, will be sufficient to fund our operations and capital
requirements for at least the 12 months following the date of this prospectus.
However, there can be no assurance that the net proceeds of this offering and
cash provided by operations will satisfy our requirements for any particular
period of time. To the extent capital resources are insufficient to meet future
capital requirements, we may have to raise additional funds to satisfy our
requirements. There can be no assurance that such funds will be available on
acceptable terms, if at all.
Pending application of the net proceeds in the manner described above, we
intend to invest the net proceeds in short-term, interest bearing investment
grade securities.
DIVIDEND POLICY
We have never declared or paid any cash or stock dividends on our capital
stock. We intend to reinvest earnings, if any, to fund the growth and expansion
of our business and, therefore, we do not anticipate paying cash dividends on
our common stock in the foreseeable future. The declaration of dividends will be
at the discretion of our board of directors and will depend upon our earnings,
capital requirements, financial position, general economic conditions, and other
pertinent factors.

DILUTION
As of August 31, 1999, our net tangible book value (deficit) was $(516,181),
or approximately $.13 per share of common stock. Net tangible book value
(deficit) per share represents the amount of our total tangible assets less
total liabilities divided by the number of shares of common stock.
After giving effect to the sale of the 2,000,000 shares offered hereby and
after deducting the underwriting discount and estimated offering expenses, net
tangible book value at August 31, 1999, would have been $20,584,442, or
approximately $3.53 per share of our common stock. This represents an immediate
increase in net tangible book value of $3.40 per share of common stock to our
existing stockholders and an immediate dilution in net tangible book value of
$8.47 per share of common stock, or approximately 70%, to new investors. The
following table illustrates this per share dilution:

Net tangible book value per share after the offering........ $ 3.53

Dilution of net tangible book value per share to new

======
</TABLE>
If the over-allotment is exercised in full, our pro forma as adjusted net
tangible book value at August 31, 1999 would have been $24,064,000, or $4.28 per
share of common stock. This represents an immediate increase in net tangible
book value of $4.47 per share of common stock to existing stockholders and an
immediate dilution in net tangible book value of $7.53 per share of common
stock, or approximately 62% to new investors.
The following table summarizes, as of August 31, 1999, on a pro forma basis,
the number of shares of common stock purchased from us, the total consideration
paid and the average price per share paid by existing stockholders and investors
in this offering, and after giving effect to the sale of the 2,000,000 shares
offered by this prospectus, assuming an initial offering price of $12.00 per
share. The calculations are based upon total consideration given by new
investors and existing stockholders before any deduction of underwriting
discounts, offering expenses payable by us, and does not include the purchase of
or any exercise of the redeemable common stock purchase warrants offered hereby.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
THE FOLLOWING MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS SHOULD BE READ IN CONJUNCTION WITH OUR FINANCIAL
STATEMENTS AND NOTES THERETO AND THE OTHER FINANCIAL INFORMATION INCLUDED
ELSEWHERE IN THIS PROSPECTUS.
OVERVIEW
We were formed to engage in the consolidation of the digital imaging
reproduction industry, with additional emphasis on large format printing and
multimedia applications for the Internet and CD-ROM applications.
We were incorporated in Nevada on July 18, 1997 as ColorSmart, Inc. On
December 29, 1998 we changed our name to ColorSmart.com, Inc. primarily to
reflect our growing emphasis on marketing our products and services over the
Internet and the development of our fully-integrated electronic commerce
applications that allows businesses to privately access their own virtual
portfolio of digitally created printed graphics and multimedia applications
through our fully secure web site. We have entered into agreements to purchase
seven companies, four of which are located in the United States and three of
which are located in the Republic of South Africa. All seven of these potential
acquisitions significantly expand our ability to offer digital imaging and color
graphics reproduction to our customers and to increase our market share in the
digital imaging business.
Our corporate offices are currently located at 537 Myatt Drive, Madison,
Tennessee, 37115. Each of our acquisitions operates out of facilities that
contain a variety of digital imaging, color graphics equipment used in the
reproduction of artwork, transparencies and scanned images.
The following table sets forth, for the periods indicated, certain operating
information expressed as a percentage of revenue. The results of operations data
for the nine months ended August 31, 1999 are not necessarily indicative of the
results to be expected for the full year or future periods.

COMPARISON OF NINE MONTHS ENDED AUGUST 31, 1999 TO THE NINE MONTHS ENDED
AUGUST 31, 1998
REVENUES
Revenues decreased to $57,351 for the nine months ended August 31, 1999 from
$98,856 for the nine months ended August 31, 1998. This decrease of $41,505, or
42% is primarily a result of our focus turned
17
<PAGE>
towards completion of our private placement offerings and development of
e-commerce activity and the relocation of production equipment to our
prospective acquisitions in order to increase capacity and profits for the
target companies, thus decreasing our revenues.
COST OF REVENUES
Costs of revenues consist primarily of material costs. Costs of revenues
decreased to $19,927 or 35% of revenues for the nine months ended August 31,
1999 from $48,997, or 50% of revenues for the nine months ended August 31, 1998.
The decrease of $29,070 or 59% was due to the reduction in revenue and the
related write down of material inventory.
GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES
General and administrative expenses consist primarily of salaries, wages and
related costs for general corporate functions, including finance, accounting,
facilities and office rent, legal and other fees for professional services.
General and administrative expenses increased to $388,459 for the nine months
ended August 31, 1999 from $253,595 for the nine months ended August 31, 1998.
As a percentage of revenue, general and administrative costs increased from 219%
to 632%. The reasons for this trend were two-fold. First, with the reduction in
sales, the fixed costs increased on a relative basis to revenue. Second, we
incurred substantial start-up costs for the development of our e-commerce
business and for public offering expenses.
SALES AND MARKETING
Sales and marketing expenses increased to $10,035 for the nine months ended
August 31, 1999 from $5,776 for the nine months ended August 31, 1998. As a
percentage of revenues, sales and marketing expenses increased from 6% to 18%
for the same periods. This increase of $4,259 is a result of our efforts to
establish a business presence in the Nashville, Tennessee business community.
DEPRECIATION AND AMORTIZATION
Depreciation and amortization decreased to $26,000 for the nine months ended
August 31, 1999 as compared to $36,911 for the nine months ended August 31,
1998. This decrease of $10,911, or 29.7% was due to a change in depreciation
methods.
INTEREST EXPENSE
Interest expense increased from $739 to $9,960 for the nine months ended
August 31, 1998 and 1999, respectively. This increase of $9,221 was a result of
short term borrowings needed to fund operations during the later period.
NET INCOME/LOSS
Our net loss for the nine months ended August 31, 1999 increased $157,637
from $(203,358) for the nine months ended August 31, 1998 to $(360,995) for the
same period in 1999. The increase in our net loss is due to higher general and
administrative expenses, an increase in our costs of revenues, increased
marketing efforts, costs associated with our seven targeted acquisitions, and
debt financing for our digital imaging equipment.

YEAR ENDED NOVEMBER 30, 1998 COMPARED TO THE YEAR ENDED NOVEMBER 30, 1997
REVENUES
Revenues increased to $127,191 for the fiscal year ended November 30, 1998
from none for the fiscal year ended November 30, 1997. This increase in revenue
is a result of the fact that the earlier period was our start-up phase during
which we operated for only four months.
COST OF REVENUES
Cost of revenues increased to $63,886 for the fiscal year ended
November 30, 1998 from $513 for the fiscal year ended November 30, 1997. As a
percentage of revenues, cost of revenues increased from 0% to 50% for the same
periods. This increase of $63,886 is primarily due to the fact that
November 30, 1997 was our start-up year and we generated little revenue.
GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES
General and administrative expenses increased to $370,304 for the fiscal
year ended November 30, 1998 from $87,157 for the fiscal year ended
November 30, 1997. As a percentage of revenue, general and administrative
expenses decreased from 16,989% to 247%. This decline, as a percentage of
revenue, is a result of the earlier year being our first full year of operations
and, therefore, we generated more revenue and the later period.
SALES AND MARKETING EXPENSES
Sales and marketing expenses increased to $5,776 for the year ended
November 30, 1998 from $0 for the fiscal year ended November 30, 1997. This
increase of $5,776, or 5,776% is due to the fact that in the prior year we had
no marketing expenses during our shortened fiscal year.
DEPRECIATION AND AMORTIZATION
Depreciation and amortization expense increased to $55,367 for the fiscal
year ended November 30, 1998 from $0 for the fiscal year ended November 30,
1997. This increase of $55,367, or 55,367% is a result of our equipment not
being in service during fiscal year 1997.
INTEREST EXPENSE
Interest expense increased to $2,060 for the year ended November 30, 1998
from $0 for the fiscal year ended November 30, 1997. This increase of $2,060, or
2,060% is a result of having no borrowings during the period ended November 30,
1997.
NET INCOME/LOSS
Our net loss for the fiscal year ended November 30, 1998 increased $221,275,
or 255% from $(86,644) for the fiscal year ended November 30, 1997 to $(307,919)
for the same period in 1998. This decrease in our net loss is due to higher
operating costs in all departments, and slow revenue growth due to re-focusing
our business plan.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Since our inception, we have financed our operations through revenues and
capital raised in two private placements of our common stock and our preferred
stock with common stock purchase warrants attached. As of August 31, 1999, we
had $3,903 in cash. Cash flows used for operating activities was $392,951 for
the nine months ended August 31, 1999. Net cash used for investing activities
was $506,497
19
<PAGE>
during the same period including $204,962 used in the purchase of equipment as a
result of our expanded operations, and $301,535 used in the seven acquisitions
we now have under contract.
In April 1999, we completed a private placement whereby we sold 198,050
shares of our common stock, resulting in gross proceeds of $1,000,000 and net
proceeds of approximately $736,458, after deducting offering, legal, accounting
and finders' fee expenses. From July 1999 to October 1999, we completed another
private placement whereby we sold 33,610 shares of preferred stock and 33,610
common stock purchase warrants, which were offered and sold as units, resulting
in our receipt of $252,075 in gross offering proceeds. Net proceeds of our
private placements were used primarily for legal and accounting expenses
incurred during the process of negotiating and documenting our seven targeted
acquisitions, partial payments towards the purchase prices on some of our
acquisitions that we now have under definitive agreements, payment of the costs
and expenses associated with our initial public offering and general corporate
expenses in our Madison, Tennessee facility.
We anticipate that the net proceeds of this offering, together with the cash
flow from operations, will be sufficient to fund our anticipated working capital
and capital expenditures for the 12 months following completion of this
offering. Our capital requirements have grown since our inception and we expect
our capital requirements to continue to grow.
YEAR 2000 COMPLIANCE
Many currently installed computer systems and software products are coded to
accept only two digit entries in the date code field. These systems and software
products will need to accept four digit entries to distinguish 21(st)century
dates from 20(th) century dates. As a result, computer systems and/or software
used by many companies and governmental agencies may need to be upgraded to
comply with Year 2000 requirements or risk system failure or miscalculations
causing disruptions of normal business activities. Our services, operations,
customers, suppliers and service providers all rely on information technology
systems, using hardware and software, to function properly. This includes
readily apparent systems including those controlling the digital imaging and
printing equipment that we utilize to deliver our products and services to our
customers, including systems required to provide electricity to our facilities.
SUPPLIERS: We have been surveying our suppliers about their Year 2000
compliance. Each of our suppliers has advised us verbally that they believe they
are Year 2000 compliant, but we have not received confirmation from any
suppliers. If our other suppliers do not reply to our Year 2000 inquiries or
cannot provide Year 2000 compliant products, we may need to locate alternative
sources for goods or services.
OPERATIONS: We have been gathering information from our vendors and making
an assessment of Year 2000 compliance for each of the major elements of our
internal information systems. Based upon the representations of these vendors,
we believe:
- Our operating systems, which include Microsoft Windows NT, Microsoft
Windows 98 and Microsoft Windows 95, are all Year 2000 compliant in their
latest versions, which we currently have installed.
- Our key computer applications, which include Unix, Corel, Adobe,
Macromedia, Onyx, and Microsoft Office 97, have been updated to a level of
revision that is Year 2000 compliant. Our Lucent Partner Mail phone system
is also Year 2000 compliant. Our computer hardware, which is all personal
computer based, is Year 2000 compliant. We have received representations
from the owners and managers of our Madison, Tennessee facility that such
facility is Year 2000 compliant with regard to building security, heating
and lighting controls.
COST TO ADDRESS YEAR 2000 ISSUES: We have not incurred significant costs to
date complying with Year 2000 requirements and we do not believe that we will
incur significant costs for these purposes in the foreseeable future. However,
we may spend more money than we have estimated, and this could have a material
adverse impact on our results of operations. At this stage in our assessment
process, we do not
20
<PAGE>
believe that the Year 2000 issue will materially impact our financial position,
results of operations or cash flows in future periods. However, there can be no
assurance that operating problems or expenses related to the Year 2000 issue
will not arise with our computer systems and software or that our customers or
suppliers will be able to resolve their Year 2000 issues in a timely manner.
CONTINGENCY PLANS: Our failure to identify and correct a Year 2000 problem
could result in an interruption of normal business activities and operations. A
worst case Year 2000 scenario would include a total malfunction and shutdown of
our network server and for this situation not to be resolved in a timely manner.
We are prepared to manually record information and to manually prepare any
necessary reports. If our internal review and external surveys identifies any
other problems that are reasonably likely to occur, we will develop additional
contingency plans to minimize any impact on our business. However, despite our
best efforts, we may not anticipate all problems that may ultimately arise. We
expect to be fully Year 2000 complaint by the fourth quarter of calendar year
1999.
RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING STANDARDS
We believe that recently issued financial standards will not have a
significant impact on our results of operations, financial position, or cash
flows.

BUSINESS
OUR BUSINESS
We are positioning ourselves to become a leading consolidator in the digital
graphics industry and we believe we will be one of the largest digital graphics
companies in the Southeastern United States. Our fully integrated electronic
commerce applications allow businesses to privately access their own virtual
portfolio of digitally created printed graphics and multimedia applications
through our fully secure Web site. These products range from full motion video
for the Internet, catalogues on CD-ROM, 100-foot printed billboards, trade show
graphics and retail displays. Each business can receive updated price quotes,
make modifications, authorize production, and generally manage their printing
and multimedia requirements, from any Windows-based, Internet-enabled computer.
Our customers generally realize a decrease in the entire production cycle from
price quote to the delivery of their order. We believe our applications of
leading edge Internet and digital technology enables us to be price-competitive
while providing customers with the highest level of security, selection, speed
and support.
We have entered into agreements to acquire the stock or assets of seven
companies in the digital printing or multimedia businesses. One of these firms
specializes in the design and production of multimedia advertising, marketing
and presentation applications for delivery over the Internet and CD-ROM. The
others are digital commercial printing companies located in the United States
and the Republic of South Africa.
Commercial digital graphics involves the production of a wide range of
marketing, advertising and media imaging and digital printing produced by using
cutting-edge software and digital printing equipment. It is the digitizing of
the input that reduces production time, costs and errors and provides the
flexibility to handle small, specialized jobs as easily as producing simple,
mass-produced jobs. Digital printing and imaging customers include companies of
all sizes and in all industries where full-color imaging and production are
required. Our digital printing technologies enable us to receive and deliver
customer services most effectively through our Internet applications.
OUR INDUSTRY
THE GROWTH OF BUSINESS-TO-BUSINESS ELECTRONIC COMMERCE
The Internet has emerged as a revolutionary force in the way businesses
operate, having evolved from a research medium to a venue for consumer-oriented
commerce. Estimates are that Internet business-to-business commerce reached a
record $43 billion in 1998. Furthermore, they predict that business-to-business
electronic commerce will grow to a staggering $1.3 trillion by 2003 and will
represent more than 90% of the total e-commerce market.
Advances in computer technology and telecommunications have enabled
businesses to link directly to their suppliers, providing shortened lead times
for purchases and better decision-making controls. The advent of the Internet
and its commercial applications has accelerated the trend of increased
efficiency related to business purchases with a number of additional benefits,
including:
- Global reach for broader selection of products and services;
- Reduced costs and greater economies of scale;
- Ability to access suppliers from any computer with Internet access; and
- The technology to customize customer interfaces, creating greater
convenience and ease of use.
To augment our business to business strategy we have implemented an online
ordering system that will consolidate all products and services produced at all
of our newly acquired locations. This is a full e-commerce site that is entirely
secure. With our online ordering system customers will be provided with a
one-stop solution. In addition to the easy on-line ordering process, ColorSmart
will provide a secure
22

individual web-site for each client where they make, place, and check the
progress of their orders. The diagram that follows depicts graphically how our
on-line e-commerce applications works:

THE PRINTING INDUSTRY
According to industry statistics, United States commercial printing revenues
exceeded $55 billion in 1998. While the market is large, the industry remains
fragmented with over 40,000 local and regional printers in the United States.
Digital technology in the printing industry is being utilized in the market
place worldwide, but we believe this technology is fragmented in the digital
printing services sector. Most digital print and media operations are small and
limited to certain equipment because of the capital required and lack of
technical expertise. Most digital shops operating today are mom and pop and are
very limited. We believe a large portion of the industry has not effectively
grasped the digital opportunity. Projections are that by the year 2001, over
$18 billion in total annual revenue from all digital printing services and
products, is possible on a worldwide basis. This growth is possible because of
consolidation involving digital specialist firms such as ours, continuing
innovations in technology, along with end users' education of digital printing
technologies that provide services and products on demand.
E-commerce, also provides a tremendous opportunity for digital pringing and
multimedia companies. The Internet is uniquely suited as a medium for the
delivery of a wide variety of print, media communications, and digital graphics.
Digital printing and the Internet have synergies that will replace a large
portion of conventional marketing of digital print services and products. We
recognized the synergies between digital printing and the delivery of our
products and services on the Internet and we plan to continue to expand our
digital image library of over 10,000 images for our e-commerce customers, and
expand our technological capabilities in delivering our products and services
through the e-commerce side of our business.
DIGITAL PRINTING
We believe digital technology in the printing and graphic design industries
is being under-utilized. Most digital print and media operations are small and
lack the requisite capital, equipment, and technical expertise to deliver the
full range of benefits offered by digital technology. We believe this growth
will be demand driven, predicated upon continued advancements in digital
technology. As a leader in the digital graphics industry, ColorSmart expects to
be well positioned to satisfy this demand
E-commerce over the Internet offers us a tremendous opportunity and provides
us with a competitive advantage. The Internet is an exceptional medium for the
delivery of digital graphics in a wide variety of formats. The synergy of
digital technology and the Internet will continue to transform, and we believe,
replace, an ever-increasing portion of conventional printing services and
products.
We believe the industry suffers from the following inefficiencies:
- Excess capacity hinders profitability;
- Production inefficiencies resulting in high error rates and increased
costs;
- Despite the technological advances in the industry, there is a serious
lack of integration through all stages of production;
- Local printers typically offer a limited range of products requiring
businesses to use several different printers to satisfy their needs;
- Many printers lack the technological resources to provide customized
products in a cost-effective manner.

OUR STRATEGY
Our objective is to be the leading Internet-based business-to-business
digital graphics and multimedia company in the world. The key elements of our
business strategy include:
- Focusing primarily on the Internet business-to-business market for digital
printing services, expected to grow to approximately $18 billion by 2001,
up from approximately $5 billion in 1998;
- Continuing to upgrade and enhance the front-end of our e-commerce
applications, while acquiring carefully targeted commercial printing
companies in this highly fragmented industry to support the back-end;
- Utilizing the most current digital graphics and multimedia technology
available to maintain a technological edge over our competition;
- Expanding beyond traditional printing products and services into
multimedia video and audio business-to-business applications primarily
tailored for the Internet and CD-ROM;
- Making the process of creating, approving, ordering and fulfilling
printing jobs more efficient by allowing customers to handle much of this
process from there desktops; and
- Tailoring end-to-end business applications to our customer's needs by
integrating creative, production, and distribution services into
customer-specific solutions.
OUR RECENT ACQUISITIONS
A key component of our growth strategy is accomplished by acquiring digital
printing companies located throughout the United States and overseas. During our
current fiscal year, we entered into agreements to acquire seven targeted
companies for acquisition. They are described as follows:
- Jamberry Lake Digital Media, Inc., of Summit, New Jersey is an early stage
company focused on producing digital multimedia products and services for
use on the Internet, as well as traditional marketing and promotional
campaigns. Utilizing streaming video and audio, Jamberry can produce high
quality multi-media presentations for Internet advertising and
instructional purposes for e-commerce companies, as well as short, high
impact advertisements, similar to television commercials. These same
technologies also have wide applications for the consumer side of
e-commerce. We plan on integrating Jamberry's services with digital print
products offered by our entire group of companies. We signed an agreement
on December 2, 1999 to purchase all of the outstanding shares of Jamberry
from Jamberry Lake, L.L.C., its sole shareholder. We agreed to pay
$1,000,000 as follows: 125,000 of our shares at the completion of this
public offering and an additional number of our shares having a value
equal to 10% of the amount by which the average equity market
capitalization exceeds $75,000,000 on each of the 30th, 60th and 90th day
after the completion of this offering. We are also required to make a
monthly capital contribution to Jamberry of $100,000 from August 15, 1999
until we close this public offering. At the date of this prospectus we
have paid $245,000 to Jamberry under this agreement. With each payment of
$100,000, 10% of Jamberry's shares are being placed in escrow for our
benefit. If we do not close this public offering, we are entitled to
receive 1% of the issued and outstanding stock of Jamberry for each
$20,000 that we have paid to Jamberry under this agreement.
- Magnum Digital Services, Inc. located in Coconut Creek, Florida. Magnum
Digital specializes in dye sublimation, which is applying digital images
in full color on fabrics, textiles and specialized substrates. This area
of digital printing is the fastest growing segment of the industry
overall. We signed an agreement on September 3, 1998 to purchase of all of
the outstanding shares of Magnum Digital with Robert McDowell, Magnum
Digital's sole shareholder and president. We agreed to pay $500,000 in
cash and deliver 63,333 shares of our stock to Mr. McDowell and to pay up
to $275,000 for balances due on Magnum Digital's equipment leases. By
letter agreement dated September 8,
25
<PAGE>
1999, the amount of our stock to be delivered to Mr. McDowell was adjusted
to 66,667 shares. By letter agreement dated September 7, 1999 the closing
of this acquisition was extended until we complete this public offering.
The cash purchase price will be paid from a portion of this public
offering.
- Advertising That Works, Inc. located in East Point, Georgia. We acquired a
wholesaler, fabricator, and finisher of banners and screen-printed
posters. This company enjoys several national accounts and a high profile
customer base. After many years as a screen printer, this company has
begun the process of changing over to a 100% digital operation. We signed
an agreement on September 23, 1998 for the purchase of all shares of
Advertising That Works with Chris England, its sole shareholder and
president. We agreed to pay $1,000,000 in cash for the stock and $500,000

acquisition has been extended until January 31, 2000. The purchase price
will be paid from a portion of this public offering.
- Stonehouse Graphics, (Pty) Ltd., located in Johannesburg, South Africa, is
Africa's second largest producer of large format digital printing. With
12 years in the industry, Stonehouse has gone from a small screen printer
to a fully integrated digital fabricator. It accounts for almost 40% of
all billboard printing and backlit signage in Southern Africa. Stonehouse
Graphics has a full compliment of sales, design and production staff
utilizing only the latest in digital technology. We signed an agreement on
October 12, 1998 to purchase all of the outstanding shares of Stonehouse
from its sole shareholder, Nolan Weight. We agreed to pay 15,000,000 South
African Rands (presently convertible into approximately $2,450,980 U.S.
dollars) less all of the outstanding loans (including loans to
shareholders) and liabilities of Stonehouse (about 5,000,000 Rands or
approximately $816,992 U.S. dollars). By letter agreement dated
December 2, 1999, the consummation of this agreement has been extended
until January 31, 2000. The purchase price will be paid from a portion of
this public offering.

manufacturer of these products. With locations in Nashville, Memphis, and
Knoxville, Tennessee, Display Arts brings a new dimension to the
integration of customer products and services for our entire group and our
existing customer base. We signed an agreement on June 23, 1999 to
purchase all of the outstanding shares of Display Arts, Inc. from its sole
shareholders Donovan J. McNamee, Jr., and Pamela M. McNamee. We agreed to
pay $1,300,000 at the closing that will be used first to pay off Display
Arts' debt and the balance for the stock of the selling shareholders. The
agreement called for a closing on October 1, 1999 that was extended to
December 15, 1999 in an extension agreement dated October 1, 1999, and was
further extended until January 31, 2000 in a second extension agreement
dated December 15, 1999. The closing is contingent upon the completion of
this public offering. The purchase price will be paid from a portion of
this public offering.
- Top Copy, (Pty), Ltd., located in Cape Town, South Africa, is a small but
highly efficient digital, color copy shop that offers full offset
printing. Catering to smaller businesses as well as the retail trade, Top
Copy, which is similar to Kinko's in the U.S., provides an ideal platform
to spearhead expansion in this segment of the digital copy and printing
industry in South Africa. We signed an agreement on May 20, 1999 to
purchase all of the assets of Top Copy. We agreed to pay 2,560,000 South
African Rands (presently convertible into approximately $418,300 U.S.

1999. By letter agreement dated December 2, 1999, the date for closing of
this acquisition has been extended to January 31, 2000. At the closing, we
will also have to pay interest on the purchase price at the rate of 6.5%
per annum from August 25, 1999. The purchase price will be paid from a
portion of this public offering.

<PAGE>
- Virtual Colour Group, (Pty), Ltd. of Cape Town, South Africa was
originally formed in 1996 and currently consists of six companies. Virtual
Colour has become the leader in digital printing technology in South
Africa. Designers work with both PC and Mac files and produce high end,
full color brochures, catalogues, and magazines. A fully integreated, 100%
digital, full color operation, Virtual Colour's forty-plus employees rely
mainly on it's Heidelberg Digital Press. This company garners
approximately 65% of its business over the Internet and has built a strong
customer base even in Western and Central Europe, as well as Africa. We
have agreed to purchase the assets of four of the Virtual Colour Group
companies, which are operated as a single entity. For purposes of this
prospectus, the assets of the four companies we are acquiring are treated
as a single entity called Virtual Colour Group.
We signed an agreement on September 11, 1999 to purchase the assets of
Virtual Colour Property and agreed to pay 920,996 South African Rands
(presently convertible into approximately $150,489 U.S. dollars). At the

public offering. We also signed an agreement to purchase the assets of
Virtual Colour Printing cc and agreed to pay 836,178 South African Rands
(presently convertible into $136,630 U.S. dollars). At the closing, certain
liabilities will be paid from the closing proceeds of this public offering.
We also signed an agreement on September 11, 1999 to purchase the assets of
Virtual Support cc and agreed to pay 200,000 South African Rands (presently
convertible into $32,679 U.S. dollars). At the closing, certain liabilities

proceeds of this public offering.
The agreements with Virtual Colour Property, Virtual Colour Printing,
Virtual Support and Virtual Colour require that we enter into management
agreements with Keith Redman, Herbert Trischler and Alois Koch prior to the
closing. The agreement with Virtual Support requires us to enter into a
management agreement with Messrs. Redman, Trischler, Koch and Aardt Davidtz
prior to the closing. It is also a condition precedent to the closing of
each agreement that we become listed on the Nasdaq National Market System.
The closing date of each agreement is January 31, 2000. The purchase prices
for all of the assets of the Virtual Color Group being purchased, as well
as the liabilities to be satisfied at the closings, will be paid from a
portion of this public offering.
We intend to pursue an acquisition strategy that seeks to consolidate the
highly fragmented digital printing industry. We believe these acquisitions will
be comprised of two types of potential target businesses: larger companies with
existing management that is well versed in the digital printing industry; and
smaller businesses that can easily be consolidated with our existing
infrastructure. Our approach in the past has been to stay in those geographical
areas that our management is familiar with, such as the Southeastern and Eastern
United States and the Republic of South Africa.
Our approach to acquiring companies in new markets will be to identify at
least one larger acquisition in that new market and then compliment it with
smaller acquisitions in areas that are in close proximity to the first
acquisition. We will be generally unwilling to enter a new market through an
acquisition unless the target company being acquired is one of the market share
leaders and provides the critical mass necessary to act as a platform for us to
build within that new market. We believe that there are attractively priced
target acquisitions in the Southeastern United States and abroad, and that for
the foreseeable future, our growth by acquisition strategy will be concentrated
within that geographic area as well as additional acquisitions in the Republic
of South Africa.
We believe that acquisitions and consolidation of other digital printing
businesses will offer the following cost savings and synergies associated with
our business:
- Decreased operating costs through elimination of duplicative
administrative costs;
27
<PAGE>
- Decreased production and distribution costs through integration with a
larger, geographically adjacent entity;
- Decreased purchasing costs through realization of economies of scale;
- Improved management control through centralized accounting and reporting
systems;
- Improved marketing and advertising efficiencies.
We are not currently negotiating any additional acquisitions, and there can
be no assurance that we can successfully negotiate any additional acquisitions
in the future.
OUR SALES AND MARKETING STRATEGY
We intend to focus our sales and marketing strategy as follows:
- We will utilize both traditional and Internet marketing approaches to
selling our digital products. Our primary means of marketing will be
focused on the Internet. We take orders on-line. While a few printers do
offer on-line ordering, they are limited to traditional business printing.
We offer a wide range of digital services not confined to printing alone.
We believe this gives us a unique marketing edge and the ability to build
a strong brand name.
- Internet and traditional marketing means will be implemented by us with an
aggressive sales staff coupled with a targeted corporate, regional, and
national marketing campaign. Our immediate focus will be primarily on
advertising agencies, large retailers, mass merchandisers, truck fleet
operators, trade show and convention organizations, municipalities,
political organizations, and large corporate customers, all of which have
many digital needs besides printing.
COMPETITION
We compete with numerous commercial digital printers, some of which are
larger, more established and have greater financial and other resources. Our
competitors include MasterGraphics, Inc., Consolidated Graphics, Inc.,
Integrated Graphics, Inc., Omni Graphics and Imagex, Inc. Our main competition
is the small to medium sized digital print shop.
We believe we can be competitive in the digital printing market by
differentiating ourselves in the areas of quality, the versatility of our
products, turnaround time, technology, full-service capability, flexibility,
service and price.
EMPLOYEES
As of December 23, 1999, we had approximately eight full-time employees, of
whom one was in sales, services and distribution, four were in our technical and
graphics design areas, and three in administration. Our employees are
non-unionized and we believe that we enjoy good relations with them. As of the
date of this prospectus, we have hired a systems administrator for our in-house
server and Internet operations. We have also hired two new designers and are
currently interviewing additional hires, including a position for a national
sales manager.

we lease approximately 5,500 square feet of office space for $3,500 per month
under a lease agreement entered into in March, 1997, which lease expires in
March, 2001. We have 15 months remaining on the term of our current lease with

stock. All outstanding shares of common stock are, and the shares offered by us
in this offering will be, when issued and paid for, duly authorized, validly
issued, fully paid and non-assessable. The rights, preferences and privileges of
holders of our common stock are subject to, and may be adversely affected by,
the rights of the holders of shares of any series of preferred stock that we may
designate and issue in the future.
37
<PAGE>
PREFERRED STOCK
We have 33,610 shares of preferred stock outstanding. Our board of directors
has the authority, without stockholder approval, to issue up to an aggregate of
1,000,000 shares of preferred stock, in one or more series. The board may fix
the rights, preferences, privileges and restrictions of the shares of each
series, including dividend rights, conversion rights, voting rights, terms of
redemption and liquidation preferences, and to fix the number of shares
constituting any series and the designations of these series. These shares may
have rights senior to our common stock. The issuance of preferred stock may have
the effect of delaying or preventing a change of control of us. The issuance of
preferred stock could decrease the amount of earnings and assets available for
distribution to the holders of our common stock or could adversely affect the
rights and powers, including voting rights, of the holders of our common stock.
We have no present plans to issue any shares of preferred stock.
The holders of the issued and outstanding shares of preferred stock are
entitled to receive dividends only as declared on a discretionary basis by the
board of directors. Dividends, if any, payable on the preferred stock are in
preference to dividends payable on the common stock and are non-cumulative. The
holders of the outstanding preferred stock have a liquidation preference to
holders of our common stock, which is an amount equal to $7.50 per share plus
any declared but unpaid dividends.
Two years after the date we issued our preferred stock, we may elect to
redeem the outstanding preferred stock by paying the amount of the liquidation
preference. Our outstanding preferred stock is automatically converted, on a
one-for-one basis, in the event that we conduct and underwritten public offering
of our common stock equal to or greater than $11.25 per share and the amount of
the public offering exceeds $7,500,000. Holders of our outstanding preferred
stock have voting rights in parity with our common stockholders.
The holders of our outstanding preferred stock are entitled to piggyback
registration rights on any registration statement filed by us after this public
offering, subject to the right of our underwriters, in view of market
conditions, to reduce the number of shares proposed to be registered in our
subsequent public offerings. We have agreed to pay the expenses of two piggyback
registrations, exclusive of underwriting discounts and special fees of counsel
representing the selling shareholders. Expenses associated with any other
registrations are to be borne pro rata among the selling shareholders and us, if
we participate in the offering.
COMMON STOCK PURCHASE WARRANTS
We issued 33,610 common stock purchase warrants to our private placement
investors, which are exercisable for a five-year term at a price of $5.00 per
share of common stock. None of these warrants have been exercised as of the date
of this prospectus. These warrants include provisions requiring an adjustment in
the exercise price and the number in the event that we have a stock split,
recapitalization or a similar event that alters our outstanding capitalization.
THE UNDERWRITER'S WARRANTS
In connection with the offering, we have agreed to issue and sell to the
representative and/or its designees, at the closing of this offering, for
nominal consideration, five year warrants to purchase 200,000 shares of common
stock. The representative's warrants are exercisable at any time during a period
of four years commencing at the beginning of the second year after their
issuance and they are exercisable at a price that is equal to 165% of the
initial public offering price of the common stock in this offering. The shares
of common stock issuable upon exercise of the representative's warrants are
identical to those offered to the public. The representative's warrants contain
anti-dilution provisions providing for adjustment of the number of securities
issuable upon the exercise of the warrants under certain circumstances,
including stock dividends, stock splits, mergers, acquisitions and
re-capitalization's. The holders of the
38
<PAGE>
representative's warrants will have no voting, dividend or other stockholder
rights with respect to the warrants.
We have agreed to provide the holders of the representative's warrants
certain registration privileges. During the four year period beginning one year
after the effective date of our registration statement, we have agreed to use
our best efforts to register, on one occasion, all of the representative's
warrants and all of the common stock to be issued upon exercise of the
representative's warrants, when and if requested by the representative. Our
agreement includes granting to the representative a one-time demand registration
right covering the common stock during the four year period and maintaining the
effectiveness of the registration statement for at least nine months, at our
sole expense, except for commissions and selling brokers' costs. In addition to
this one time demand registration right, we agreed to piggyback registration
rights if requested by the representative, during the term of the
representative's warrants, to include in our registration statement next filed,
the shares of common stock underlying the representative's warrants for
registration, and to maintain a current registration statement covering those
shares for a 12 month period.
TRANSFER AGENT AND REGISTRAR
We intend to make application to appoint American Stock Transfer & Trust
Company, New York, New York as our transfer agent and registrar.

SHARES ELIGIBLE FOR FUTURE SALE
Prior to this offering, there has been no public market for any of our
securities and there can be no assurance that a significant public market for
any of our securities will be developed or sustained after this offering. Sales
of substantial amounts of our common stock in the public market after this
offering, or the possibility of those sales occurring could adversely affect the
prevailing market price for our securities and our ability to raise equity
capital in the future.
Upon completion of this offering, there will be 6,305,639 shares of our
common stock outstanding, assuming the full exercise of the underwriter's
over-allotment option. The 2,000,000 shares of common stock being offered by
this prospectus, plus the 300,000 shares of our common stock if the
overallotment option is exercised, will be freely tradable without restriction
under the Securities Act, unless purchased by an affiliate of ours, as that term
is defined under the rules and regulations of the Securities Act, which will be
subject to the resale limitations of Rule 144 under the Securities Act.
The remaining 4,005,639 shares of our common stock are considered
"restricted securities" as defined in Rule 144. These shares were issued in
private transactions and have not been registered under the Securities Act and,
therefore, may not be sold unless registered under the Securities Act or sold
pursuant to an exemption from registration, such as the exemption provided by
Rule 144.
In general, under Rule 144, beginning 90 days after the completion of this
offering, a person, or persons whose shares are aggregated, who has beneficially
owned restricted shares for at least one year, including the holding period of
any prior owner who is not an affiliate of ours, would be entitled to sell
within any three-month period, a number of shares that does not exceed the
greater of:
- one percent, or approximately 600,000 shares following this offering, of
the number of shares of our common stock then outstanding; or
- the average weekly trading volume of our common stock during the four
calendar weeks preceding the sale.
Sales under Rule 144 are also subject to manner of sale provisions, notice
requirements and to the availability of current public information about us.
Under Rule 144(k), a person who is not deemed to have been an affiliate of
ours at any time during the 90 days preceding a sale, and who has beneficially
owned the shares for at least two years, including the holding period of any
prior owner who is not an affiliate of ours, would be entitled to sell those
shares under Rule 144(k) without complying with the manner of sale, public
information, volume limitation or notice provisions of Rule 144.
Beginning 90 days after the completion of this offering, shares of common
stock issuable upon exercise of options granted by us prior to the effective
date of the registration statement will be eligible for sale in the public
market pursuant to Rule 701 under the Securities Act, subject to the lock-up
agreements described below. In general, Rule 701 permits re-sales of shares
issued under certain compensatory benefit plans commencing 90 days after the
issuer becomes subject to the reporting requirements of the Securities Exchange
Act in reliance upon Rule 144, but without compliance with restrictions,
including the holding period requirements, contained in Rule 144.
Our existing stockholders, our executive officers and directors, have agreed
that, for a period of 12 months from the completion of this offering, they will
not, without the prior written consent of Nutmeg Securities, Ltd.:
offer, pledge, sell, contract to sell, sell any option or contract to
purchase, purchase any option or contract to sell, grant any option, right
or warrant to purchase or otherwise transfer or dispose of, directly or
indirectly, any shares of our common stock or any securities convertible
into or exercisable or exchangeable for our common stock.

The underwriting agreement provides that the obligations of the several
underwriters under that agreement are subject to certain conditions precedent,
including the absence of any material adverse change in our business and the
receipt of certain certificates, opinions and letters from our counsel and our
independent public accountants. The underwriters are committed to take and to
pay for all of the shares offered hereby, if any are purchased. In the event of
a default by any of the underwriters, the purchase commitments of the
non-defaulting underwriters may be increased or the underwriting agreement may
be terminated.
The underwriters will offer the shares to the public at the public offering
price set forth on the cover page of this prospectus. The underwriters may allow
some dealers concessions of not more than $ per share. The underwriters also
may allow, and those dealers may re-allow, a concession of not more than $ per
share to some other dealers. The public offering price, concessions, and
re-allowances may be changed after the completion of this offering.
We granted to the underwriters an option, exercisable within 45 days after
the effective date of the registration agreement, to purchase up to an
additional 300,000 shares of common stock at the initial public offering price
less the underwriting discounts and non-accountable expenses allowance. The
underwriters may exercise this option only to cover over-allotments, if any. If
any shares and/or warrants are purchased pursuant to this option, the
underwriters will severally purchase the shares and/or warrants in approximately
the same proportion as set forth above.
We agreed to indemnify the underwriters and their controlling persons
against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act, and
to contribute to payments the underwriters and their controlling persons may be
required to make in respect thereof.
We also agreed to pay to the representative, a non-accountable expense
allowance equal to three percent of the gross proceeds of this offering, $25,000
of which has been paid to date.
We also agreed to pay all expenses in connection with qualifying the
securities under the laws of those states that the representative may designate,
including fees and expenses of counsel retained for these purposes by the
representative, and the costs and expenses in connection with qualifying the
offering with the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc.
The representative of the underwriters has informed us that the underwriters
do not expect sales of the shares offered by this prospectus to be made to
discretionary accounts to exceed five percent of the total number of shares
offered.
Our existing stockholders, our executive officers and directors, have agreed
that, for a period of 12 months from the completion of this offering, they will
not, without the prior written consent of Nutmeg Securities, Ltd.:
offer, pledge, sell, contract to sell, sell any option or contract to
purchase, purchase any option or contract to sell, grant any option, right
or warrant to purchase or otherwise transfer or dispose of,
41
<PAGE>
directly or indirectly, any shares of our common stock or any securities
convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for our common stock.
We have agreed to issue and sell to the representative of the underwriters
and/or its designees, for nominal consideration, five-year warrants to purchase
200,000 shares of our common stock. The representative's warrants are
exercisable for a period of four years commencing one-year after the date of
issuance at a price equal to 165% of the initial public offering price per share
of common stock. The representative's warrants contain anti-dilution provisions
providing for adjustments of the exercise price and the number of shares
issuable upon exercise, upon the occurrence of certain events, including stock
dividends, stock splits, and recapitalizations. The representative's warrants
contain certain demand and piggyback registration rights relating to the shares
of common stock issuable thereunder. For the life of the representative's
warrants, the representative will have the opportunity to profit from a rise in
the market price of our shares of common stock. The representative's warrants
are restricted from sale, transfer, assignment or hypothecation for the one year
period from the date of this prospectus, except to officers or partners of the
underwriters and members of the selling group and/or their officers or partners.
We agreed to grant the representative a right of first refusal to act as
underwriter, placement agent or investment banker for a period of 12 months
after the completion of this offering for any sale of securities made by us in
transactions which are valued equal to or greater than $5,000,000 in the
aggregate.
We agreed that for two years from the completion of this offering, the
representative may designate Daniel F. Guilfoile of Nutmeg Securities, Ltd. as
an observer to the board of directors. This observer will have no voting
privileges as a director but will be entitled to receive notice of our
directors' meetings and a right to receive information considered by our board.
The representative has not yet exercised this right to designate this observer.
We have agreed to reimburse the board observer for all out-of-pocket expenses
incurred in connection with the observer's attendance at meetings of our board
of directors.
Prior to this offering, there has been no public market for any of our
securities. The initial public offering price of the shares offered hereby will
be determined by negotiations between the representative and us. Among the
factors considered in determining the price, include the prevailing market
conditions, including the history of and the prospects for the industry in which
the company competes, an assessment of our management, our prospects, and our
capital structure. The offering price does not necessarily bear any relationship
to our assets, results of operations or net worth. There can be no assurance
that an active trading market will develop for any of the securities offered by
this prospectus, or that such securities will trade in the public market at or
above the initial public offering price.
The representative, on behalf of the underwriters, may engage in
over-allotments, stabilizing transactions, syndicate covering transactions and
penalty bids. An over-allotment involves syndicate sales in excess of this
offering size, which creates a syndicate short position. Stabilizing
transactions permit bids to purchase the shares of common stock and/or warrants
being offered so long as the stabilizing bids do not exceed a specified maximum.
Syndicate covering transactions involve purchases of the shares of common stock
in the open market after the distribution has been completed in order to cover
syndicate short positions. Penalty bids permit the representative to reclaim a
selling concession from a syndicate member when the shares of common stock and
warrants originally sold by the syndicate member are purchased in a syndicate
covering transaction and penalty bids may cause the price of the shares of
common stock to be higher than it would otherwise be in the absence of such
transactions. These transactions may be effected on the Nasdaq National Market
System or otherwise, and if commenced, may be discontinued at any time. In
addition, the underwriters may engage in passive market making transactions in
our securities on the Nasdaq National Market System in accordance with Rule 103
of Regulation M. Neither the underwriters nor we make any representation or
prediction as to the direction or magnitude of any effect that the transactions
described above may have on the price of the securities offered by this
prospectus.
Certain persons participating in this offering may engage in transactions
that stabilize, maintain or otherwise affect the price of our securities offered
in this prospectus. These actions include purchasing the securities to cover
some or all of a short position of any of the securities maintained by the
representative and the imposition of penalty bids.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE 1--ORGANIZATION AND DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS
Colorsmart.com, Inc. (the "Company") specializes in digital imaging, the
sale of stock photographic images and large format digital printing. The Company
is focusing on Internet commerce, but also provides textile-printing services.
Customers are primarily wholesale to the trade. The Company has been in this
business since 1997. Prior to its formation as a corporation, the Company
existed as a partnership that began on February 2, 1997.
On December 28, 1998, the Company changed its name from Colorsmart, Inc., to
Colorsmart.com, Inc.
NOTE 2--SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
CASH EQUIVALENTS
The Company considers all highly liquid debt instruments with original
maturities of three months or less to be cash equivalents.
PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT
Property and equipment are stated at cost and are being depreciated using
the straight-line method, one half years over the estimated useful lives of
three to seven years. Leasehold improvements are stated at cost and are being
amortized over the lesser of the term of the lease or the estimated useful life
of the asset. Depreciation expense includes the amortization of capital lease
assets.
USE OF ESTIMATES
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with general 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.
REVENUE RECOGNITION
Generally, revenues from sales of products are recognized when products are
shipped.
INVENTORY
Inventory consists primarily of materials used in the digital printing
process, and is stated at the lower of cost or market, with cost determined on
the first-in, first-out (FIFO) method.
ADVERTISING COSTS
Advertising costs are expensed as incurred. The Company incurred
approximately $5,700 in advertising costs during the year ended November 30,
1998.
UNAUDITED INTERIM INFORMATION
The information presented as of August 31, 1999 and 1998, and for the
nine-month periods ended August 31, 1999 and 1998, has not been audited. In the
opinion of management, the unaudited interim financial statements include all
adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, necessary to
present fairly the Company's financial position as of August 31, 1999 and 1998,
and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the nine months ended
August 31, 1999 and 1998, and the stockholder's equity for the nine months ended

NOTE 7--STOCKHOLDERS EQUITY
COMMON STOCK ISSUED FOR CASH
During the year ended November 30, 1998, the Company issued 836,295 shares
(after reverse split) of common stock. The price of the stock ranged from $0.10
per share to $1.00 per share. The total amount obtained from the issuance of
these common shares was $304,624, net of $53,595 cost of issuance.
Subsequent to November 30, 1998, the company issued 173,950 shares of common
stock through a Regulation D offering, and issued an additional 503,106 shares
of common stock to date. The total amount obtained from the issuance of these
shares was $964,664 net of $113,817 cost of issuance.
REVERSE STOCK SPLIT
On December 28, 1998, the Company's Board of Directors authorized a 1-for-3
reverse stock split effective December 28, 1998, for stockholders on record on
December 28, 1998. This resulted in a reduction in the number of shares of
common stock.
NOTE 8--CONCENTRATION OF CREDIT RISK
The Company maintains its cash in what it believes to be credit worthy
financial institutions. The balances, at times, may exceed federally insured
limits. At November 30, 1998, the Company was within the insured limit. The
Company routinely assesses the financial strength of its customers and, as a
consequence, believes its trade accounts receivable exposure is limited.
NOTE 9--FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
The carrying value of the Company's financial instruments approximates the
fair market value, due to their short-term maturities and interest rates.
NOTE 10--INCOME TAXES
Deferred income taxes (benefits) are provided for certain income and
expenses, which are recognized in different periods for tax and financial
reporting purposes. There are no significant temporary or permanent differences
between the financial statement income and taxable income. Sources of temporary
differences and the resulting tax assets and liabilities are as follows:

As shown in the accompanying financial statements, the Company incurred a
net loss of $307,919 during the year ended November 30, 1998. The ability of the
Corporation to continue as a going concern is dependent on the successful
completion of the Company's initial public offering or raising additional
capital. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be
necessary if the Corporation is unable to continue as a going concern. The
Company has completed a private placement and raised $964,664 as of May 31,
1999.
NOTE 13--ACQUISITIONS
The Company has entered into ten (10) separate agreements to acquire
unrelated corporations within the printing industry. These acquisitions are
contingent upon the successful completion of the Company's initial public
offering, which is planned for fiscal year ending 1999. There can be no
assurance that the initial public offering will be successful, which would
materially adversely affect the Company's ability to close these acquisitions.

all of the outstanding common shares of Advertising That Works, Inc. As
consideration, the Company will pay $1,500,000 in cash to the shareholder of

Services. The acquisition will be accounted for as a purchase and the results of
operations and goodwill will be included in the consolidated financial
statements beginning with the date of closing.

the common stock of Stonehouse Graphics (Pty), Ltd., a South African graphics
printing company. In consideration, the Company will pay approximately

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE 1--ORGANIZATION AND DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS
Display Arts, Inc., is a Nashville, Tennessee based design firm and digital
service bureau that serves clients with a balance of management, creative and
technical skills. The Company specializes in the creation of high impact,
affordable graphics and displays utilizing state-of-the-art methods and
equipment. All work is handled in-house to provide the highest quality and quick
turnaround.
NOTE 2--SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
CASH EQUIVALENTS
The Company considers all highly liquid debt instruments with original
maturities of three months or less to be cash equivalents.
PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT
Property and equipment are stated at cost and are being depreciated using
the straight-line and accelerated methods over the estimated useful lives of two
to seven years. Leasehold improvements are stated at cost and are being
amortized over the lesser of the term of the lease or the estimated useful life
of the asset. Depreciation expense includes the amortization of capital lease
assets.
USE OF ESTIMATES
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with general 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.
REVENUE RECOGNITION
Generally, revenues from sales of products are recognized when products are
shipped.
INVENTORY
Inventory consists primarily of materials used in the digital printing
process, and is stated at the lower of cost or market, with cost determined on
the first-in, first-out (FIFO) method.
INCOME TAXES
The Company accounts for income taxes under SFAS 109, ACCOUNTING FOR INCOME
TAXES, which requires that deferred income taxes be recognized for the tax
consequences in future years of differences between the tax basis of assets and
liabilities and their financial reporting basis at rates based on enacted tax
laws and statutory tax rates applicable to the periods in which the differences
are expected to affect taxable income.
Valuation allowances are established when necessary to reduce deferred tax
assets to the amount expected to be realized. Current income tax expense
represents the tax payable for the period. The deferred income tax expense
(benefit) represents the change during the period in the balance of deferred
taxes.

REPORT OF THE INDEPENDENT AUDITORS
To the members of Stonehouse Graphics (Proprietary) Limited
We have audited the annual financial statements set out on pages 3 to 9.
These financial statements are the responsibility of the company's directors
while our responsibility is to report thereon.
We conducted our audit in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards which require that we plan and carry out the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance that fair presentation is achieved in the financial
statements in all material respects. 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 policies used and
significant estimates made by the management, as well as evaluating the overall
financial statement presentation. We consider that our audit procedures were
appropriate in the circumstances to express our opinion presented below.
In our opinion these financial statements fairly present the financial
position of the company at 28 February 1999, and the results of its operations
and cash flow information for the year then ended in conformity with generally
accepted accounting practice and in the manner required by the Companies Act.
The supporting schedule set out on page 10 does not form part of the
financial statements and is presented solely for the information of the
shareholders. We have not audited this schedule and accordingly we do not
express an opinion on it.

DIRECTORS' REPORT
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 28 FEBRUARY 1999
The directors present their annual report which forms part of the audited annual
financial statements of the company for the year ended 28 February 1999.
1. DIRECTOR AND SECRETARY
N P Weight
No secretary has been appointed
The company's business and postal addresses are as follows:
150 Fleming Road
Meadowdale Extension
Germiston
PO Box 75539
Gardenview
2047.
2. PRINCIPAL ACTIVITIES OF THE COMPANY
The principal activities of the company during the year were digital
printing, screenprinting and sign making.
3. OPERATING RESULTS
The company incurred a loss of R3 892 for the year (1998: loss of R600 658
after taxation).
4. REVIEW OF OPERATIONS
REVENUE:
The company has achieved a record turnover of R10.9 million for the year,
which is more that double the R4.6 million recorded in 1998. The rapid growth is
partly due to the improved trading conditions, but significant growth was
obtained through the installation of two new NUR printing machines. These came
on line in March and November respectively, and the full benefit will therefore
only accrue in the next financial year. The company has also achieved growth in
its export markets, and further improvements are forecast.
PROFIT ON ORDINARY ACTIVITIES BEFORE TAXATION
The company recorded a loss of R3 892, compared to a loss of R599 727 in
1998. This remarkable improvement was achieved after writing off depreciation of
R1 058 403 (1998: R257 900) and finance charges of R903 210 (1998: R298 541).
The increase in finance charges arose from the finance leases raised to fund
capital expenditure. The director has deemed it prudent to write off the
goodwill of R50 000 since no value can be placed on this asset.
TAXATION
No provision has been made for taxation since the company did not earn
taxable income.
F-49
<PAGE>
5. SHARE CAPITAL
There were no changes to the authorised and issued share capital of the
company during the financial year.
6. EVENTS SUBSEQUENT TO BALANCE SHEET DATE
The director is not aware of any matter or circumstance arising since the
end of the financial year, not otherwise dealt with in the annual financial
statements, which significantly affect the financial position of the company or
the results of its operations.

NOTES TO THE ANNUAL FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 28 FEBRUARY 1999
1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The Financial statements are prepared on the historical cost basis and
incorporate the following principal accounting policies which are consistent
with the previous year.
1.1 PROPERTY, PLANT AND EQUIPMENT
Property, plant and equipment is stated at cost less depreciation.
Depreciation has been calculated on the straight line method at rates
appropriate to reduce assets to net realisable value over their expected useful
lives, as follows:
<TABLE>
<S> <C>
Computer equipment.......................................... 3 years
Plant and machinery......................................... 4 years
Furniture and fittings...................................... 6 years
Motor vehicles.............................................. 4 years
</TABLE>
1.2 TURNOVER
Turnover comprises the invoiced value of sales in respect of trading
operations and excludes value added tax.
1.3 INVENTORIES
Inventories are valued at the lower of cost and net realisable value.
1.4 LEASED ASSETS
Assets leased in terms of finance lease agreements are capitalised.
Capitalised leased assets are depreciated on the straight line method at rates
considered appropriate to reduce book values to estimated residual values over
their useful lives. Lease finance charges are amortised over the duration of the
lease by the effective interest method. All costs relating to operating leases
are charged to income as incurred.
1.5 DEFERRED TAXATION
Deferred taxation is calculated on the comprehensive liability method. It
arises due to timing differences of taxation allowances on fixed assets in the
calculation of taxable income.
2. PROFIT ON ORDINARY ACTIVITIES BEFORE TAXATION
Profit on ordinary activities before taxation is arrived at after taking
into account the following items:

REPORT OF THE INDEPENDENT AUDITORS TO THE MEMBERS OF
VIRTUAL COLOUR PRINTING CC
We have audited the financial statements set out on pages 2 to 5 for the
year ended 28 February 1999 as requested. These financial statements are the
responsibility of the members of the close corporation. Our responsibility is to
express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit.
SCOPE
We conducted our audit in accordance with statements of South African
Auditing Standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit
to obtain misstatement.
An audit includes:
- examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and
disclosures included in the financial statements,
- assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made
by management and
- evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.
We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.
AUDIT OPINION
In our opinion, the financial statements fairly present, in all material
respects, the financial position of the close corporation at 28 February 1999
and the results of its operations for the year then ended in accordance with
generally accepted accounting practice.
COMPARATIVE FIGURES
We have reviewed the comparative figures for the year ended 28 February 1998
to the extent that we considered necessary to express our opinion. We have not
audited the comparative figures and express no opinion thereon.

PRO FORMA FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
The following Pro Forma Combined Balance Sheet of the Registrant has been
prepared by management of the Registrant based upon the balance sheets of the
Registrant as of November 30, 1998 and August 31, 1999. The Pro Forma Combined
Statement of Operations was prepared based upon the statement of operations for
the Registrant for the twelve months ended November 30, 1998, and the nine
months ended August 31, 1999. The pro forma statement of operations also
includes the proposed acquisition's statements of operations for the twelve
months ended December 31, 1998, and the eight months ended August 31, 1999. The
pro forma statements give effect to the transactions under the purchase method
of accounting and the assumptions and adjustments in the accompanying notes to
the pro forma combined financial statements. The pro forma combined balance
sheets give effect to the acquisition as if they had occurred as of
November 30, 1998 and August 31, 1999. The pro forma combined statement of
operations for the year ended November 30, 1998, gives effect to the
acquisitions as if they had occurred as of December 1, 1997. The pro forma
combined statement of operations for the nine months ended August 31, 1999,
gives effect to the acquisitions as if they had occurred December 1, 1998.
The pro forma adjustments are based upon available information and certain
assumptions that management believes are reasonable. The pro forma combined
financial statements do not purport to represent what the combined companies'
financial position or results of operations would actually have been had the
acquisition occurred on such date or as of the beginning of the period
indicated, or to project the combined companies' financial position or results
of operations for any future period.

NOTES TO UNAUDITED PRO FORMA FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOVEMBER 30, 1998
The Pro Forma financial statements have been prepared assuming the
acquisition had occurred at November 30,1998. The acquisitions are contingent
upon the successful initial public offering to be completed in fiscal year 2000.
The statement of operations is prepared assuming the acquisition occurred
December 1, 1997.
The following assumptions have been made:
(1) Magnum Digital Services, Inc. will be acquired for $500,000 in cash and
200,000 shares of Colorsmart.com, Inc. stock. This will result in the

PART II
INFORMATION NOT REQUIRED IN PROSPECTUS
ITEM 24. INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS.
As permitted by Section 78.037 of the Nevada General Corporation Law, the
Company has included in its Restated Articles of Incorporation a provision which
states that a director or officer of the Company shall not be liable to the
Company or its shareholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as
a director or officer, except to the extent such limitation of liability is
prohibited by Nevada General Corporation Law as the same exists or may hereafter
be amended. Section 78.037 currently provides that any such provision may not
eliminate or limit the liability of a director or officer for (a) acts or
omissions which involve intentional misconduct, fraud or a knowing violation of
law; or (b) the payment of dividends in violation of the Nevada General
Corporation Law.
As permitted by Section 78.751 of the Nevada General Corporation Law,
Article VIII of the Company's Bylaws provides for the indemnification by the
Company, including suits brought by or on behalf of the Company, of each
director, officer, employee or agent thereof to the fullest extent permitted by
Nevada law.
As permitted by the Nevada General Corporation Law and Article VIII of the
Company's Bylaws, the Company has entered into indemnity agreements with its
directors and officers that provide for indemnification of such individuals to
the fullest extent permitted by Nevada law, and the Company maintains director's
and officer's liability for its directors and officers against certain
liabilities.
The Registrant intends to obtain directors' and officers' insurance
providing indemnification for certain of the Registrant's directors, officers
and employees against certain liabilities, prior to the completion of this
offering.
Reference is also made to the underwriting agreement filed as Exhibit 1.1 to
the Registration Statement for information concerning the Underwriters'
obligation to indemnify the Registrant and its officers and directors in certain
circumstances, and our obligation to indemnify the underwriters. Insofar as
indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be
permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the Registrant
pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the Registrant has been
advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such
indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Act and is,
therefore, unenforceable.
ITEM 25. OTHER EXPENSES OF ISSUANCE AND DISTRIBUTION.

as follows:

During the last three years, the Registrant has sold and issued the
following unregistered securities in transactions which were exempt from

Securities Act, as they were transactions not involving a public offering:

From July 10, 1999 through November 15, 1999, we offered and sold to

two shares of our preferred stock and two common stock purchase warrants
entitling the holders to purchase one additional share of our common stock for
each common stock purchase warrant, at an exercise price of $5.00 per warrant.
Accordingly, we offered and sold a total of 33,610 shares of our preferred stock
and 33,610 common stock purchase warrants entitling the holders to purchase
33,610 shares of our common stock at the time the warrants are exercised. All of

ITEM 28. UNDERTAKINGS.
(a) Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities
Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of
the small business issuer pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise,
the undersigned Registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the
Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy
as expressed in the Act and is, therefore, unenforceable.
In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities
(other than the payment by the undersigned Registrant of expenses incurred or
paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the undersigned Registrant
in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such
director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being
registered, the undersigned Registrant will, unless in the opinion of its
counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent,
II-5
<PAGE>
submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such
indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Act and will
be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
(b) The undersigned Registrant in all instances will provide to the
Underwriter at the closing specified in the underwriting agreement certificates
in such denominations and registered in such names as required by the
underwriter to permit prompt delivery to each purchaser.
(c) The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes that:
(1) For purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act
of 1933, the information omitted from the form of prospectus filed as part
of a registration statement in reliance upon Rule 430A and contained in the
form of prospectus filed by the undersigned Registrant pursuant to
Rule 424(b)(1) or (4) or 497(h) under the Securities Act of 1933 shall be
deemed to be part of the registration statement as of the time it was
declared effective; and
(2) For the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities
Act of 1933, each post-effective amendment that contains a form of
prospectus shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to
the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that
time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
(d) The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes that it will:
(1) File, during any period in which it offers or sells securities, a
post-effective amendment to this registration statement to:
(i) Include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the
Securities Act;
(ii) Reflect in the prospectus any facts or events which,
individually or together, represent a fundamental change in the
information in the registration statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total
dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which
wasregistered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the
estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of
prospectus filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the
aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than a 20%
change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the
"Calculation of Registration Fee" table in the effective registration
statement; and
(iii) Include any additional or changed material information on the
plan of distribution.
(2) For determining liability under the Securities Act, treat each
post-effective amendment as a new registration statement of the securities
offered, and the offering of the securities at that time to be the initial
bona fide offering.
(3) File a post-effective amendment to remove from registration any of
the securities that remain unsold at the end of the offering.

authorized, in the City of Madison, Tennessee, on the 29th day of December,
