PART I
ITEM 1. DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS
Cactus Multimedia I, Inc. ("Multimedia" or the "Company"), a Delaware
corporation, is a development stage company that was incorporated on March 29,
1999 for the purpose of engaging in the business of Internet services and
telecommunications. Since inception, the Company has established and created its
own web site, grown from three to more than 27 web address links and acquired
banners from American Online.com and others. The Company is currently
negotiating with telephone switching networks, Local Exchange Carriers ("LECs")
and information providers.
Telephone entertainment services are estimated to be a one billion
dollar ($1,000,000,000.00 ) industry growing at 10% per year. Internet
entertainment services, including live one-on-one interaction are currently
estimated to be a three billion dollar industry ($3,000,000,000.00 ) growing at
100% per year. This growth is expected to further increase with the anticipated
availability of Internet access on standard home televisions, and emerging world
Internet markets. The Company intends to achieve its growth strategy through
aggressive acquisitions of telephone and Internet opportunities.
Industry Background of the Telephone Entertainment Service
The Company has identified three elements as integral to the success of
its telephone entertainment services:
1. The telephone switching network which permits handling of the
large volume of calls, including forwarding, billing, and
collection.
2. Agreements with LECs, which allow a company to contract for
billing services directly through LECs. Such charges appear
directly on the over 200 million telephone bills that local
phone companies send out monthly.
3. The ability to act as an information provider. This is the
function of an advertising agency for an industry, including
information creation, placement and tracking of advertising
for providing services.
There are numerous companies which are active in at least one of the
three areas, but they either sell their service capability or information to
third parties, or they purchase the additional services from another provider.
The Company aims to become the low-cost provider in the telephone entertainment
industry through vertical integration and carefully controlled expenses.

RISK FACTORS
Limited Operating History; Development Stage Company.
The Company was formed in March 29, 1999 and has had a very limited
operating history, with no sales revenues recorded. To date, the Company had
been primarily engaged in the development of its business plan and commencement
of business operations on a limited scale. The Company must be considered to be
in its development stage and subject to all the risks inherent in any newly
formed business including the absence of a significant operating history, lack
of market recognition and limited banking and financial relationships.
Furthermore, no assurance can be given that the Company can undertake meaningful
operations and achieve that point where full-scale commercial operations can be
realized or, even if such commercial operations can be achieved, that operating
profits will be realized in the future. In addition, the Company's business plan
and operating strategy involves expansion into businesses and markets (i.e.
telecommunications and Internet related products) which are highly competitive
and typified by well established and better financed companies with a long
established and highly recognized market presence.
Dependence on Key Existing and Future Personnel.
The Company's success will depend to a large degree upon the efforts
and abilities of it's President and sole Director, R S Schmitt. The loss of the
services of RS Schmitt could have a material adverse effect on the Company's
business prospects and potential earning capacity. As the Company's business
plan is implemented, it will need to recruit and retain additional management
and key employees in virtually all phases of its operations. There can be no
assurances that the Company will be able to recruit or retain such new employees
on terms suitable to the Company.
Additional Financing Required B Lack of Traditional Financing Sources.
The Company is pursuing an aggressive growth strategy which will
require substantially more funding. However, there can be no assurance that all,
or any part of such additional financing will in fact be realized. The Company
may seek such financing from sources such as bank financing or through the sale
of additional debt or equity securities (or a combination thereof) in future
public or private offerings. However, there can be no assurance that any such
financing will in fact be available to the Company when needed or upon terms
acceptable to the Company.
Continued Control by Existing Stockholders.
The Company was established by its principal stockholder who continues
to own 90% of the outstanding Shares of Common Stock. As a result, this
principal stockholder will be in a position to control the affairs of the
Company and any matters requiring a stockholder vote, including the election of
directors, the amendment of the Company's
2
<PAGE>
charter documents, the merger or dissolution of the Company and the sale of all
or substantially all of the Company's assets.
Speculative Nature of Company's Possible Operations if an Acquisition or Merger
is Facilitated. The success of the Company's proposed plan of operation may
depend to a great extent on the operations, financial condition and management
of a possible business opportunity. Management may seek business combination(s)
with entities having established operating histories to facilitate its growth
providing such business fits within its business plan. However, there can be no
assurance that the Company will be successful in locating candidates meeting
such criteria. In the event the Company completes a business combination, of
which there can be no assurance, the success of the Company's operations may be
dependent upon management of the successor firm or venture partner firm and
numerous other factors beyond the Company's control.
Trading of Shares.
Of the Company's outstanding stock, 1,000,000 shares of Common Stock
were issued in accordance with and pursuant to Rule 504 under the Securities Act
of 1933, as amended, (the "Act"). Securities sold pursuant to an offering made
under Rule 504 are not subject to restrictions on resale under United States
federal law. Said securities, however, are subject to transfer restrictions
pursuant to the securities laws of the individual states.
ITEM 2. PLAN OF OPERATION
Internet
While the Company has not recognized revenues through September 30,
1999, since inception, the Company has established and created its own web site,
grown from three to more than 27 web address links and acquired banners from
American Online.com and others.
The Company intends to become active in Internet entertainment services
through the registration of several Internet broadcast channels through
registration of Internet domains with InterNIC, an organization responsible for
registration of Internet "domains". At present, the Company projects that
Internet services will only account for a small percentage of revenues for the
Company. However, as the Internet becomes integrated with the standard home
television and phone systems, the Company anticipates that a greater proportion
of its revenues may be derived from this portion of the business.
Anticipated Expenditures
3
<PAGE>
The Company also intends to engage in the development of proprietary
software and services designed to support and facilitate its Internet services.
The development "in-house" of such services as web design, programming and
hosting, will allow for cost savings and a competitive edge. The Company intends
to focus its development plans on areas integral to its service such as credit
card processing, live video conferencing and on-demand video via the Internet.
Development of more efficient and secure credit card processing through web
interface user management, user fraud control, the ability to support multiple
payments methods, fast database lookup and the ability to generate accurate
financial and usage reports will enable the Company to streamline billing and
provide a more secure environment for its customers. The development of enhanced
live video conferencing and on-demand video through such methods as streaming
technology and jpg push technology will allow the Company to provide its
customers with superior video quality and greater access to the attractions
featured on Company web sites. The development of such services may also create
the potential for a future profit center for the Company through sales of such
services to third parties.
The principal expense categories are 1) research and development;
2) working capital; and 3) indirect costs, including general and
administrative expenses.
The heart of the business is research and development. The Company
estimates that R & D expenses will amount to 41% to 42% of gross
revenues.
The Company also anticipates indirect expenses, including general and
administrative ("G & A") expenses to run between 13% and 19%.
Since a substantial portion of the business is anticipated to be
conducted over the telephone, the various telephone charges will make up a major
expense. There are both direct costs of telephone line usage, which are based on
actual time used, and additional charges for service, contract, accounting, and
billing expenses. The actual usage, which is a variable expense related directly
to time and therefore to revenue, is anticipated to be approximately 60% of the
total telephone expense. The other charges will be primarily service related and
are not significantly affected by usage. The Company anticipates that telephone
expenses related directly to sales will be between 13% and 18% of revenues.
Initially, the Company intends to generate a substantial amount of its
business through aggressive acquisitions. Once the Company becomes established,
it anticipates a significant amount of repeat business. The Company intends to
advertise worldwide utilizing Internet traffic, banners, and click through
programs. Advertising is paid for on a monthly basis, on a per click or hit
basis, and can be traded for with other click through programmers. Advertising
is anticipated to be a substantial portion of gross revenues.
Other Possibilities
4
<PAGE>
The Company may also seek to acquire assets or shares of an entity
actively engaged in business which generates revenues, in exchange for its
securities. The Company has no particular acquisitions in mind and has not
entered into any negotiations regarding such an acquisition. None of the
Company's officers, directors, promoters or affiliates have engaged in any
preliminary contact or discussions on behalf of the Company with any
representative of any other company regarding the possibility of an acquisition
or merger between the Company and such other company as of the date of this
registration statement.
The Company will seek, investigate and, if such investigation warrants,
acquire an interest in business opportunities presented to it by persons or
firms who or which desire to seek the perceived advantages of an Exchange Act
registered corporation. The Company will not restrict its search to any specific
business, industry, or geographical location and the Company may participate in
a business venture of virtually any kind or nature. This discussion of the
proposed business is purposefully general and is not meant to be restrictive of
the Company's virtually unlimited discretion to search for and enter into
potential business opportunities. Management anticipates that it may be able to
participate in only one potential business venture because the Company has
nominal assets and limited financial resources.
Competition
Markets for the Company's services are characterized by intense
competition and rapid change, particularly in the area of telecommunications and
Internet services. Furthermore, due to the increased demand for products and
services such as those to be offered by the Company, management expects the
competition will continue to increase in the future as more companies enter the
field of telephone and Internet services. The Company's current and prospective
competitors include many companies that have substantially greater name
recognition and financial, technical and marketing resources than the Company.
Company's competitors may be able to offer customers more competitive pricing or
to adapt more quickly than the Company to new technologies and evolving customer
requirements. Consequently there can be no assurance that the Company will be
able to compete successfully in its target markets.
Employees
As of the date of this filing, the Company employed one employee. At
present, the Company utilizes the services of consultants and other outside
sources in the areas of Internet, telecommunications, corporate and financial
services. The Company plans to significantly expand its operations and, in
connection with such operations will require other consultants and outside
services.

the Company who are officers or employees of the Company may also receive extra
compensation for their service on the Board in the form of non-qualified stock
options. To date, however, no such options have been approved by the Board of
Directors for any officer or director of the Company.
The Company has agreed to pay RS Schmitt $12,000 per year. The Company
and Mr. Schmitt have entered into a written employment agreement which commenced
May 1, 1999. Mr. Schmitt and the Company have agreed that his salary is payable
by the Company utilizing a demand promissory note.

ITEM 7. CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS.

including consulting, recruiting, legal and other administrative expenses. The
affiliated company also agreed to fund existing liabilities of approximately
$6,000.

<PAGE>
ITEM 8. DESCRIPTION OF SECURITIES.
Common Stock
The authorized capital stock of the Company consists of 100,000,000
shares of Common Stock, $.0001 par value. As of September 30, 1999, there were
10,000,000 shares of Common Stock outstanding. The holders of Common Stock (i)
have equal and ratable rights to dividends from funds legally available
therefore, when as and if declared by the Board of Directors of the Company;
(ii) are entitled to share ratably in all of the assets of the Company available
for distribution to holders of Common Stock upon liquidation, dissolution or
winding up of the affairs of the Company; (iii) do not have pre-emptive,
subscription or conversion rights (there are no redemption or sinking fund
provisions applicable thereto); and (iv) are entitled to one non-cumulative vote
per share on all matters which shareholders may vote at all meetings of
shareholders. All shares of Common Stock now outstanding are fully paid for and
non-assessable and all Shares which are part of the Offering, when issued, will
be fully paid for and non-assessable.
Preferred Stock
In addition to the 100,000,000 shares of Common Stock, $.0001 par
value, the Company is also authorized to issue up to 10,000,000 shares of
preferred stock with such rights and preferences as the Board of Directors may
so designate. At present, no preferred stock has been issued by the Company, nor
have any preferences been set forth by Board of Directors.
Non-cumulative Voting
The holders of Common Stock do not have cumulative voting rights, which
means that the holders of more than 50% of such outstanding Shares of Common
Stock, voting for the election of directors, can elect all of the directors to
be elected, if they so choose, and in such event, the holders of the remaining
Shares of Common Stock will not be able to elect any of the Company's directors.
PART II
ITEM 1. MARKET FOR COMMON EQUITY AND RELATED STOCKHOLDER MATTERS.
The Company's Common Stock has never been traded. The Company plans to
apply to have its Common Stock traded on the over-the-counter market and listed
on the OTC Bulletin Board. There is no assurance that a trading market will ever
develop or, if such a market does develop, that it will continue.
Of the 10,000,000 shares of Common Stock outstanding as of December 1,
1999, 9,000,000 shares of Common Stock are "restricted securities" as the term
is defined under
8
<PAGE>
the Act and must be held indefinitely unless subsequently registered under the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Act") or an exemption becomes
available. An exemption which may become available in the future is Rule 144
adopted under the Act. The remaining 1,000,000 outstanding shares of Common
Stock were issued in accordance with and pursuant to Rule 504 under Regulation D
of the Act and are not subject to restrictions on resale under federal law.
As of December 1, 1999, the number of holders of the Company's Common
Stock was 26.
DIVIDEND POLICY
The Company has not paid any cash dividends on its Common Stock and
presently intends to continue a policy of retaining earnings, if any, for
reinvestment in its business.
ITEM 2. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS.
The Company is not a party to any legal proceedings.
ITEM 3. CHANGES IN AND DISAGREEMENTS WITH ACCOUNTANTS ON ACCOUNTING AND
FINANCIAL DISCLOSURE.
The Company has not changed accountants since its formation and there
are no disagreements with the findings of the accountants.
ITEM 4. RECENT SALES OF UNREGISTERED SECURITIES.
On March 29, 1999 the Company issued 9,000,000 shares of Common Stock
to R S Schmitt, the founder of Multimedia. These shares of Multimedia were
valued at a nominal amount. The Company issued these shares relying upon the
exemption from registration requirements of the Act provided by Section 4(2) of
the Act.
Between April 1, 1998 and April 4, 1998, the Company completed a
private offering of an aggregate of 1,000,000 shares of Common Stock to 25
investors, all of whom were accredited, pursuant to the exemption from
registration provided by Rule 504 of Regulation D promulgated under the Act at
an offering price of $.025 per share. Solicitations were made by the director of
the Company. These investors received a disclosure document and financial
information concerning Multimedia before they were sold securities.
ITEM 5. INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS.
9
<PAGE>
The Company's Certificate of Incorporation limits, the maximum extent
permitted by the Delaware General Corporation Law, the personal liability of
directors and officers for monetary damages for breach of their fiduciary duties
as directors and officers (other than liabilities arising from acts or omissions
that involve intentional misconduct, fraud or knowing violations of law or the
payment of distributions in violation of Delaware General Corporation Law). The
Certificate of Incorporation provides further that the Company shall indemnify,
to the fullest extent permitted by Delaware General Corporation Law, any person
made a party to an action or proceeding by reason of the fact that such person
was a director, officer, employee or agent of the Company. Subject to the
Company's Certificate of Incorporation, the By-laws provided that the Company
shall indemnify directors and officers for all costs reasonably incurred in
connection with any action, suit or proceeding in which such director or officer
is finally adjudged to have been derelict in the performance of his duties as
such director or officer.
The Company intends to enter into separate indemnification agreements
with its directors and officers containing provisions that provide for the
maximum indemnity allowed to directors and officers by the Delaware General
Corporation Law and the Company, among other obligations, to indemnify such
directors and officers against certain liabilities that may arise by reason of
their status as directors and officers, other than liabilities arising from
wilful misconduct of a culpable nature, provided that such person acted in good
faith and in a manner that he or she reasonably believed to be in or not opposed
to the best interests of the Company and, in the case of a criminal proceeding,
had no reasonable cause to believe that his conduct was unlawful. In addition,
the indemnification agreements provide generally that the Company will, subject
to certain exceptions, advance the expenses incurred by directors and officers
as a result of any proceeding against them as to which they my be entitled to
indemnification. The Company believes these arrangements are necessary to
attract and retain qualified persons as directors and officers.
The indemnification provisions in the Company's By-laws, and the
indemnity agreements entered into between the Company and its directors and
executive officers, may permit indemnification for liabilities arising under the
Act. Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act
may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the Company
pursuant to the foregoing provisions or otherwise, the Company 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.
Indemnification of officers or persons controlling the company for
liabilities arising under the Act, is held to be against public policy by the
Securities and Exchange Commission and is therefore unenforceable.

To the Stockholders
Cactus Multimedia I, Inc.
Miami, Florida
We have audited the accompanying balance sheet of Cactus Multimedia I, Inc. (a
development stage company) as of September 30, 1999, and the related statements
of operations, stockholders' equity and cash flows for the period from inception
(March 29, 1999) through September 30, 1999. These financial statements are the
responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an
opinion on these financial statements based on our audit.
We conducted our audit in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards.
Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable
assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes
assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by
management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.
We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in
all material respects, the financial position of Cactus Multimedia I, Inc. as of
September 30, 1999, and the results of its operations, and its cash flows for
the period from inception (March 29, 1999) through September 30, 1999, in
conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the
Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 4 to the
financial statements, the Company has minimal working capital as of September
30, 1999. This raises substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue
as a going concern. The financial statements do not include any adjustments to
reflect the possible future effects on the recoverability and classification of
assets or the amounts and classification of liabilities that might result from
the outcome of the foregoing uncertainties.

NOTE 1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Organization and Business Activity
Cactus Multimedia I, Inc. (the "Company") was incorporated in
March 1999, under the laws of the State of Delaware. The
Company's business activities to date have primarily consisted
of the formation of a business plan for internet and telephone
entertainment services.
The Company intends to become an operating company active in
internet entertainment services through the registration of
internet domains with InterNIC. In addition, the Company may
also engage in the development of proprietary software and
services designed to support and facilitate its internet
services.
The Company intends to file the necessary forms to become a US
public company and to register certain shares of its common
stock via a Form 10-SB. Once public, the company intends to be
available as a public shell to be acquired or to merge with
another entity.
The Company is considered to be in the development stage and
the accompanying financial statements represent those of a
development stage company.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of these financial statements in conformity
with generally accepted accounting principles requires
management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the
reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of
contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial
statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses
during the reported period. Actual results could differ from
those estimates.
Preferred Stock
The Company has the authority to issue 10,000,000 shares of
preferred stock, par value $0.0001 per share, which may be
divided into series and with the preferences, limitations and
relative rights determined by the Board of Directors. At
September 30, 1999 no preferred stock shares were issued and
outstanding.
Income Taxes
The Company accounts for income taxes according to Statement
of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 109, "Accounting
for Income Taxes". Under the liability method specified by
SFAS No. 109, deferred income taxes are recognized for the
future tax consequences of temporary differences between the
financial statement carrying amounts and tax bases of assets
and liabilities.

NOTE 1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Impact of the "Year 2000" Computer Issue
Because computers frequently use only two digits to recognize
years, on January 1, 2000, many computer systems, as well as
equipment that uses embedded computer chips, may be unable to
distinguish between the years 1900 and 2000. If not
remediated, this problem could create system errors and
failures resulting in the disruption of normal business
operations. In the event the Company fails to identify or
correct a material Year 2000 problem, there could be
disruptions in normal business operations, which could have a
material adverse effect on the Company's results of
operations, liquidity or financial condition. Further, there
may be some third parties, such as governmental agencies,
utilities, telecommunication companies, vendors, suppliers and
customers who may not be able to continue business with the
Company due to their own Year 2000 problems. Also, risks
associated with some foreign third parties may be greater
since there is general concern that some entities operating
outside the United States are not addressing Year 2000 issues
on a timely basis. There can be no assurance that any efforts
made will fully mitigate the effect of Year 2000 issues.
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
NOTE 2. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Company leases its office facility on an annual basis from
a company related by virtue of common ownership. Total rent
expense amounted to $50 for the period from inception (March
29, 1999) through September 30, 1999.
During the period from inception (March 29, 1999) through
September 30, 1999, the Company contracted an affiliate,
related by virtue of common ownership, for management and
consulting services amounting to $5,000.
An affiliate, related by virtue of common ownership, paid
certain expenses on behalf of the Company aggregating
approximately $15,000, including consulting, recruiting, legal
and other administrative expenses. The Company owes the
affiliate $15,000 and the obligation is included in accrued
liabilities.
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
NOTE 3. INCOME TAXES
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
At September 30, 1999 the Company had a deferred tax asset of
approximately $3,000, resulting from net operating losses of
approximately $21,000. The deferred tax asset is offset
entirely by a valuation allowance. The net operating loss will
expire in 2019.
Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance if,
in the opinion of management, it is more likely than not that
some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be
realized. Management's valuation procedures consider projected
utilization of deferred tax assets prospectively over the next
several years, and continually evaluate new circumstances
surrounding the future realization of such assets.

NOTE 4. GOING CONCERN
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
As discussed in Note 1, the Company has been in the
development stage since its inception on March 29, 1999. At
September 30, 1999 the Company has minimal working capital
available to fund operations and may not be able to commence
and/or sustain operating activity. The Company believes
however it has sufficient funds to commence operations and it
intends to fund future operations from operating cash flows
and/or from a merger with another operating entity.

or without cause whenever in its judgment the best interests of the Corporation
will be served thereby, but such removal shall be without prejudice to the

officer, agent or member of a committee shall not of itself create contract
rights. Any officer, if appointed by another officer, may be removed by that

institutions as determined by the Board of Directors.
ARTICLE IV. DISTRIBUTIONS
-------------------------

its shareholders in cash, property, or its own shares, unless the distribution
would cause (i) the Corporation to be unable to pay its debts as they become due
in the usual course of business, or (ii) the Corporation's assets to be less
than its liabilities plus the amount necessary, if the Corporation were
dissolved at the time of the distribution, to satisfy the preferential rights of
shareholders whose rights are superior to those receiving the distribution. The
shareholders and the Corporation may enter into an agreement requiring the
distribution of corporate profits, subject to the provisions of law.
ARTICLE V. CORPORATE RECORDS
----------------------------

written form or in another form capable of conversion into written form within a
reasonable time. The Corporation shall keep as permanent records minutes of all
meetings of its shareholders and Board of Directors, a record of all actions
taken by the shareholders or Board of Directors without a meeting, and a record
of all actions taken by a committee of the Board of Directors on behalf of the

record of its shareholders in a form that permits preparation of a list of the
names and addresses of all shareholders in alphabetical order by class of shares

and copy, during regular business hours at a reasonable location specified by
the Corporation, any books and records of the Corporation. The shareholder must

before the date on which he wishes to inspect and copy the record(s). The demand
must be made in good faith and for a proper purpose. The shareholder must
describe with reasonable particularity the purpose and the records he desires to
inspect, and the records must be directly connected with this purpose. This
Section does not affect the right of a shareholder to inspect and copy the
shareholders, list described in this Article if the shareholder is in litigation
with the Corporation. In such a case, the shareholder shall have the same rights
as any other litigant to compel the production of corporate records for
examination.
The Corporation may deny any demand for inspection if the demand was
made for an improper purpose, or if the demanding shareholder has within the two
years preceding his demand, sold or offered for sale any list of shareholders of
the Corporation or of any other corporation, had aided or abetted any person in
procuring any list of shareholders for that purpose, or has improperly used any
information secured through any prior examination of the records of this
Corporation or any other corporation.
Section 3. Financial Statements for Shareholders.Unless modified by resolution
of the shareholders within 120 days after the close of each fiscal year, the
Corporation shall furnish its shareholders with annual financial statements
which may be consolidated or combined statements of the Corporation and one or
more of its subsidiaries, as appropriate, that include a balance sheet as of the
end of the fiscal year, an income statement for that year, and a statement of
cash flows for that year. if financial statements are prepared for the
Corporation on the basis of generally accepted accounting principles, the annual
financial statements must also be prepared on that basis.
If the annual financial statements are reported upon by a public
accountant, his report must accompany them. If not, the statements must be
accompanied by a statement of the President or the person responsible for the
Corporation's accounting records stating his reasonable belief whether the
statements were prepared on the basis of generally accepted accounting
principles and, if not, describing the basis of preparation and describing any
respects in which the statements were not prepared on a basis of accounting
consistent with the statements prepared for the preceding year. The Corporation
shall mail the annual financial statements to each shareholder within 120 days
after the close of each fiscal year or within such additional time thereafter as
is reasonably necessary to enable the Corporation to prepare its financial
statements. Thereafter, on written request from a shareholder who was not mailed
the statements, the Corporation shall mail him the latest annual financial
statements.

<PAGE>
Section 4. Other Reports to ShareholdersIf the Corporation indemnifies or
advances expenses to any director, officer, employee or agent otherwise than by
court order or action by the shareholders or by an insurance carrier pursuant to
insurance maintained by the Corporation, the Corporation shall report the
indemnification or advance in writing to the shareholders with or before the
notice of the next annual shareholders' meeting, or prior to the meeting if the
indemnification or advance occurs after the giving of the notice but prior to

specifying the persons paid, the amounts paid, and the nature and status at the
time of such payment of the litigation or threatened litigation.

promises to render services in the future, the Corporation shall report in

consideration received by the corporation, with or before the notice of the next
shareholders' meeting.

Section I. Issuance. The Board of Directors may authorize the issuance of some
or all of the shares of any or all of its classes or series without
certificates. Each certificate issued shall be signed by the President and the
Secretary (or the Treasurer). The rights and obligations of shareholders are
identical whether or not their shares are represented by certificates.
Section 2. Registered Shareholders. No certificate shall be issued for any share
until the share is fully paid. The Corporation shall be entitled to treat the
holder of record of shares as the holder in fact and, except as otherwise
provided by law, shall not be bound to recognize any equitable or other claim to
or interest in the shares.
Section 3. Transfer of Shares. Shares of the Corporation shall be transferred on
its books only after the surrender to the Corporation of the share certificates
duly endorsed by the holder of record or attorney-in-fact. If the surrendered
certificates are canceled, new certificates shall be issued to the person
entitled to them, and the transaction recorded on the books of the Corporation.
Section 4. Lost, Stolen or Destroyed CertificatesIf a shareholder claims to have
lost or destroyed a certificate of shares issued by the Corporation, a new
certificate shall be issued upon the delivery to the Corporation of an affidavit

person (including the heirs, executors, administrators, or estate of such

extent permitted or authorized by current
7
<PAGE>
or future legislation or judicial or administrative decision against all fines,
liabilities, costs and expenses, including attorneys' fees, arising out of his
or her status as a director, officer, agent, employee or representative. The
foregoing right of indemnification shall not be exclusive of other rights to
which those seeking an indemnification may be entitled. The Corporation may
maintain insurance, at its expense, to protect itself and all officers and
directors against fines, liabilities, costs and expenses, whether or not the
Corporation would have the legal power to indemnify them directly against such
liability.
Section 2. Advances. Costs, charges and expenses (including attorneys' fees)
incurred by a person referred to in Section I of this Article in defending a
civil or criminal proceeding shall be paid by the Corporation in advance of the
final disposition thereof upon receipt of an undertaking to repay all amounts
advanced if it is ultimately determined that the person is not entitled to be
indemnified by the Corporation as authorized by this Article, and upon
satisfaction of other conditions required by current or future legislation.
Section 3. Savings Clause. If this Article or any portion of it is invalidated
on any ground by a court of competent jurisdiction, the Corporation nevertheless
indemnifies each person described in Section 1 of this Article to the fullest
extent permitted by all portions of this Article that have not been invalidated
and to the fullest extent permitted by law.
ARTICLE VIII. AMENDMENT
-----------------------
These Bylaws may be altered, amended or repealed, and new Bylaws
adopted, by a majority vote of the directors or by a vote of the shareholders
holding a majority of the shares.
