PART I
BUSINESS
Item 1 - Description of Business
Tripacific Development Corp. (referred to as "us," "we" or "our"), was
incorporated on July 18, 1997 under the laws of the State of Nevada to engage in
any lawful corporate purpose. Other than issuing shares to our shareholders, we
never commenced any other operational activities. We can be defined as a "blank
check" company, whose sole purpose at this time is to locate and consummate a
merger or acquisition with a private entity.
The proposed business activities classifies us as a "blank check" company. The
Securities and Exchange Commission defines these companies as "any development
stage company that is issuing a penny stock (within the meaning of section 3
(a)(51) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) and that has no specific
business plan or purpose, or has indicated that its business plan is to merge
with an unidentified company or companies." Many states have enacted statutes,
rules and regulations limiting the sale of securities of "blank check" companies
in their respective jurisdictions. Management does not intend to undertake any
efforts to cause a market to develop in our securities, either debt or equity,
until we have successfully implemented our business plan. We comply with the
periodic reporting requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.
Item 2 - Description of Property
The Issuer operates from its offices at Suite 1500, 885 West Georgia Street,
Vancouver, British Columbia, V6C 3E8, Canada. Space is provided to the Issuer on
a rent free basis by Mr. Jason John, a director of the Issuer, and it is
anticipated that this arrangement will remain until we successfully consummate a
merger or acquisition. Management believes that this space will meet our needs
for the foreseeable future. The Issuer owns no real property.
Item 3 - Legal Proceedings
The Issuer is not a party to any pending or threatened legal proceedings.

<PAGE>
Item 4 - Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders
No matters were submitted to a vote of security holders during the fourth
quarter of the fiscal year-ended March 31, 2000.
PART II
Item 5 - Market for Common Equity and Related Stockholder Matters
(A) Market Information
No public market currently exists for the Issuer's shares.
(B) Stockholders
The Issuer has 10 holders of record of its common shares.
No dividends have been declared on the Issuer's common shares.
There are no restrictions that limit the ability to pay
dividends on the Issuer's common shares.
Item 6 - Plan of Operation
(A) PLAN OF OPERATION
We seek to acquire assets or shares of a business that generates revenues, in
exchange for its securities. We have not identified a particular acquisition
target and have not entered into any negotiations regarding an acquisition. None
of our officers, directors, promoters or affiliates have engaged in any
preliminary contact or discussions with any representative of any other company
regarding the possibility of an acquisition or merger with us as of the date of
this filing.
Depending upon the nature of the relevant business opportunity and the
applicable state statutes governing how the transaction is structured, the
Issuer's Board of Directors expects that it will provide our shareholders with
complete disclosure documentation concerning a potential business opportunity
and the structure of the proposed business combination prior to consummation.
Disclosure is expected to be in the form of a proxy or information statement.
We will remain a shell corporation until a merger or acquisition candidate is
identified. It is anticipated that our cash requirements will be minimal, and
that all necessary capital, to the extent required, will be provided by the
directors or officers. We do not anticipate that we will have to raise capital
in the next twelve months. We also do not expect to acquire any plant or
significant equipment.
We have not, and do not intend to enter into, any arrangement, agreement or
understanding with non-management shareholders allowing non-management
shareholders to directly or indirectly participate in or influence our
management of the Issuer. Management currently holds 60.8% of our stock. As a
result, management is in a position to elect a majority of the directors and to
control our affairs.
We have no full time employees. Our President and Secretary has agreed to
allocate a portion of his time to our activities, without compensation. This
officer anticipates that our business plan can be implemented by his devoting
approximately five (5) hours each per month to our business affairs and,
consequently, conflicts of interest may arise with respect to their limited time
commitment. We do not expect any significant changes in the number of employees.

<PAGE>
(B) MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF
OPERATIONS
We have been a blank check company since incorporation and have no revenue.
Our purpose is to acquire an interest in business opportunities presented by
persons or firms that seek the perceived advantages of an Exchange Act
registered corporation. We will not restrict our search to any specific
business, industry, or geographical location and we may participate in a
business venture of virtually any kind or nature. This discussion of the
proposed business is general and is not meant to restrict our 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 we have nominal assets and limited financial resources. This
lack of diversification should be considered a substantial risk to our
shareholders.
We may seek a business opportunity with companies that have recently commenced
operations, or that wish to utilize the public marketplace in order to raise
additional capital in order to expand into new products or markets, to develop a
new product or service, or for other corporate purposes. We may acquire assets
and establish wholly owned subsidiaries in various businesses or acquire
existing businesses as subsidiaries.
We anticipate that the selection of a business opportunity will be complex and
extremely risky. Due to general economic conditions, rapid technological
advances being made in some industries and shortages of available capital,
management believes that there are numerous firms seeking the perceived benefits
of a publicly registered corporation. The perceived benefits may include
facilitating or improving the terms for additional equity financing that may be
sought, providing liquidity for incentive stock options or similar benefits to
key employees, providing liquidity (subject to restrictions of applicable
statutes) for all shareholders and other factors. Business opportunities may
occur in many different industries and at various stages of development, all of
which will make the task of comparative investigation and analysis of these
business opportunities extremely difficult and complex.
We have, and will continue to have, no capital to provide to the owners of
business opportunities. However, management believes we will be able to offer
owners of acquisition candidates the opportunity to acquire a controlling
ownership interest in a publicly registered company without incurring the cost
and time required to conduct an initial public offering. The owners of the
business opportunities will, however, incur significant legal and accounting
costs in connection with acquisition of a business opportunity, including the
costs of preparing Form 8-K's, 10-K's or 10-KSBs, 10-Q's or 10-QSBs, agreements
and related reports and documents. The '34 Act specifically requires that any
merger or acquisition candidate comply with all applicable reporting
requirements, which include providing audited financial statements to be
included within the numerous filings relevant to complying with the '34 Act.
Nevertheless, the officers and directors of the Issuer have not conducted market
research and are not aware of statistical data that would support the perceived
benefits of a merger or acquisition transaction for the owners of a business
opportunity.
4
<PAGE>
The analysis of new business opportunities will be undertaken by our officers
and directors, none of whom is a professional business analyst. Management
intends to concentrate on identifying preliminary prospective business
opportunities that may be brought to our attention through present associations
of our officers and directors, or by our shareholders. In analyzing prospective
business opportunities, management will consider:
* the available technical, financial and managerial resources;
* working capital and other financial requirements;
* history of operations, if any;
* prospects for the future;
* nature of present and expected competition;
* the quality and experience of management services that may be
available and the depth of that management;
* the potential for further research, development, or exploration;
* specific risk factors not now foreseeable but which could be
anticipated to impact our proposed activities;
* the potential for growth or expansion;
* the potential for profit;
* the perceived public recognition of acceptance of products,
services, or trades;
* name identification; and
* other relevant factors.
Our officers and directors expect to meet personally with management and key
personnel of the business opportunity as part of their "due diligence"
investigation. To the extent possible, the Issuer intends to utilize written
reports and personal investigations to evaluate businesses. We will not acquire
or merge with any company that cannot provide audited financial statements
within a reasonable period of time after closing of the proposed transaction.
Our management will rely upon their own efforts and, to a much lesser extent,
the efforts of our shareholders, in accomplishing our business purposes. We do
not anticipate that any outside consultants or advisors, except for our legal
counsel and accountants, will be utilized by us to accomplish our business
purposes. However, if we do retain an outside consultant or advisor, any cash
fee will be paid by the prospective merger/acquisition candidate, as we have no
cash assets. We have no contracts or agreements with any outside consultants and
none are contemplated.
5
<PAGE>
We will not restrict our search for any specific kind of firms, and may acquire
a venture that is in its preliminary or development stage or is already
operating. We cannot predict the status of any business in which we may become
engaged, because the business may need to seek additional capital, may desire to
have its shares publicly traded, or may seek other perceived advantages that we
may offer. Furthermore, we do not intend to seek capital to finance the
operation of any acquired business opportunity until we have successfully
consummated a merger or acquisition.
We anticipate that we will incur nominal expenses in the implementation of our
business plan. Because we have no capital to pay these anticipated expenses,
present management will pay these charges with their personal funds, as interest
free loans, for a minimum of twelve months from the date of this registration
statement. If additional funding is necessary, management and or shareholders
will continue to provide capital or arrange for additional outside funding.
However, the only opportunity that management has to have these loans repaid
will be from a prospective merger or acquisition candidate. Management has no
agreements with us that would impede or prevent consummation of a proposed
transaction. We cannot assure, however, that management will continue to provide
capital indefinitely if a merger candidate cannot be found. If a merger
candidate cannot be found in a reasonable period of time, management may be
required reconsider its business strategy, which could result in our
dissolution.
Acquisition of Opportunities
In implementing a structure for a particular business acquisition, we may become
a party to a merger, consolidation, reorganization, joint venture, or licensing
agreement with another corporation or entity. We may also acquire stock or
assets of an existing business. On the consummation of a transaction, it is
probable that our present management and shareholders will no longer be in
control. In addition, our directors may, as part of the terms of the acquisition
transaction, resign and be replaced by new directors without a vote of our
shareholders. Furthermore, management may negotiate or consent to the purchase
of all or a portion of our stock. Any terms of sale of the shares presently held
by officers and/or directors will be also afforded to all other shareholders on
similar terms and conditions. Any and all sales will only be made in compliance
with the securities laws of the United States and any applicable state.
While the actual terms of a future transaction cannot be predicted, it is
expected that the parties to the business transaction will find it desirable to
avoid the creation of a taxable event and thereby structure the acquisition in a
so-called "tax-free" reorganization under Sections 368(a)(1) or 351 of the
Internal Revenue Code (the "Code"). In order to obtain tax-free treatment under
the Code, it may be necessary for the owners of the acquired business to own 80%
or more of the voting stock of the surviving entity. In that event, the
shareholders of the Issuer would retain 20% or less of the issued and
outstanding shares of the surviving entity, which would result in significant
dilution in the equity of the shareholders.
As part of the "due diligence" investigation, our officers and directors will
meet personally with management and key personnel, may visit and inspect
material facilities, obtain independent verification of certain information
provided, check references of management and key personnel, and take other
reasonable investigative measures to the extent of our limited financial
resources and management expertise. How we will participate in an opportunity
will depend on the nature of the opportunity, the respective needs and desires
of the parties, the management of the target company and our relative
negotiation strength.
6
<PAGE>
Negotiations with target company management are expected to focus on the
percentage of our company that the target company shareholders would acquire in
exchange for all of their shareholdings in the target company. Depending upon
the target company's assets and liabilities, our shareholders will probably hold
a substantially lesser percentage ownership interest following any merger or
acquisition. Percentage ownership may be subject to significant reduction in the
event we acquire a company with substantial assets. Any merger or acquisition
effected by us can be expected to have a significant dilutive effect on the
percentage of shares held by our remaining shareholders.
We will participate in a business opportunity only after the negotiation and
signing of appropriate written agreements. Although we cannot predict the terms
of the agreements, generally the agreements will require some specific
representations and warranties by all of the parties, will specify certain
events of default, will detail the terms of closing and the conditions that must
be satisfied by each of the parties before and after the closing.
We will not acquire or merge with any entity that cannot provide independent
audited financial statements concurrent with the closing of the proposed
transaction. We are subject to the reporting requirements of the '34 Act.
Included in these requirements is our affirmative duty to file independent
audited financial statements as part of its Form 8-K to be filed with the
Securities and Exchange Commission upon consummation of a merger or acquisition,
as well as our audited financial statements included in our annual report on
Form 10-K (or 10-KSB, as applicable) and quarterly reports on Form 10-Q (or
10-QSB, as applicable). If the audited financial statements are not available at
closing, or if the audited financial statements provided do not conform to the
representations made by the candidate to be acquired in the closing documents,
the closing documents will provide that the proposed transaction will be
voidable at the discretion of our present management. If the transaction is
voided, the agreement will also contain a provision providing for the
acquisition entity to reimburse us for all costs associated with the proposed
transaction.
Competition
We are an insignificant participant among the firms that engage in the
acquisition of business opportunities. There are many established venture
capital and financial concerns that have significantly greater financial and
personnel resources and technical expertise than we do. In view of our extremely
limited financial resources and limited management availability we will continue
to be at a significant competitive disadvantage compared to our competitors.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT
To the Directors and Stockholders of
Tripacific Development Corporation
(A Development Stage Company)
We have audited the accompanying balance sheet of Tripacific Development
Corporation (A Development Stage Company) as at March 31, 2000 and the related
statements of operations, changes in stockholders' equity and cash flows for the
year then ended and for the period from inception on July 18, 1997 to March 31,
2000. 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
in the United States of America. Those standards require that we plan and
perform an 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.
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that
Tripacific Development Corporation (A Development Stage Company) will continue
as a going concern. The Company is in the development stage and does not have
the necessary working capital for its planned activity which raises substantial
doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Management's plans in
regards to these matters are discussed in Note 2. The financial statements do
not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this
uncertainty.
In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material
respects, the financial position of Tripacific Development Corporation (A
Development Stage Company) as at March 31, 2000 and the results of its
operations and its cash flows for the year then ended and for the period from
inception on July 18, 1997 to March 31, 2000 in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles in the United States of America.
The audited financial statements as at March 31, 1999 and for the year then
ended were examined by other auditors who expressed an opinion without
reservation on those statements in their report dated June 22, 1999.

TRIPACIFIC DEVELOPMENT CORPORATION
(A Development Stage Company)
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
MARCH 31, 2000
================================================================================
1. ORGANIZATION OF THE COMPANY
Tripacific Development Corporation ("the Company") was incorporated on
July 18, 1997 under the laws of Nevada to engage in any lawful business
or activity for which corporations may be organized under the laws of
the State of Nevada.
The Company entered the development stage in accordance with Statement
of Financial Accounting Standards No. 7 on July 18, 1997. Its purpose
is to evaluate, structure and complete a merger with, or acquire a
privately owned corporation.
2. GOING CONCERN
The Company's financial statements are prepared using the generally
accepted accounting principles applicable to a going concern, which
contemplates the realization of assets and liquidation of liabilities
in the normal course of business. However, the Company has no current
source of revenue. Without realization of additional capital, it would
be unlikely for the Company to continue as a going concern. The
Company's management plans on advancing funds on an as needed basis and
in the longer term, revenues from the operations of the merger or
acquisition candidate, if found. The Company's ability to continue as a
going concern is dependent on these additional management advances,
and, ultimately, upon achieving profitable operations through a merger
or acquisition candidate.
=======================================================================
2000 1999
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Deficit accumulated during the development stage $(3,541) $ (50)
=======================================================================
3. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
USE OF ESTIMATES
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates
and assumptions that affect the reported amount of assets and
liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the
date of the financial statements and the reported amount of revenues
and expenses during the year. Actual results could differ from these
estimates.
BASIC LOSS PER SHARE
Earnings per share are provided in accordance with Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 128, "Earnings Per Share". Due to
the Company's simple capital structure, with only common stock
outstanding, only basic loss per share must be presented. Basic loss
per share is computed by dividing losses available to common
shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares
outstanding during the year.
INCOME TAXES
Income taxes are provided in accordance with Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards No. 109 ("SFAS 109"), "Accounting for Income
Taxes". A deferred tax asset or liability is recorded for all temporary
differences between financial and tax reporting and net operating loss
carryforwards. Deferred tax expenses (benefit) result from the net
change during the year of deferred tax assets and liabilities.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
MARCH 31, 2000
================================================================================
3. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (cont'd.....)
INCOME TAXES (cont'd......)
Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance when, 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. Deferred tax
assets and liabilities are adjusted for the effects of changes in tax
laws and rates on the date of enactment.
COMPREHENSIVE INCOME
The Company has adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No.
130 ("SFAS 130"), "Reporting Comprehensive Income". This statement
establishes rules for the reporting of comprehensive income and its
components. The adoption of SFAS 130 had no impact on total
stockholders' equity as of March 31, 2000.
ACCOUNTING FOR DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS AND HEDGING ACTIVITIES
In June 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 133 ("SFAS 133"),
"Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities" which
establishes accounting and reporting standards for derivative
instruments and for hedging activities. SFAS 133 is effective for all
fiscal quarters of fiscal years beginning after June 15, 1999. In June
1999, the FASB issued SFAS 137 to defer the effective date of SFAS 133
to fiscal quarters of fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2000. The
Company does not anticipate that the adoption of the statement will
have a significant impact on its financial statements.
STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123, "Accounting for
Stock-Based Compensation," encourages, but does not require, companies
to record compensation cost for stock-based employee compensation plans
at fair value. The Company has chosen to account for stock-based
compensation using Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25,
"Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees." Accordingly compensation
cost for stock options is measured as the excess, if any, of the quoted
market price of the Company's stock at the date of the grant over the
amount an employee is required to pay for the stock.
4. CAPITAL STOCK
The Company's authorized capital stock consists of 100,000,000 shares
of common stock, with a par value of $0.0001 per share. All shares of
common stock have equal voting rights and, when validly issued and
outstanding, are entitled to one vote per share in all matters to be
voted upon by shareholders. The shares of common stock have no
pre-emptive, subscription, conversion or redemption rights and may be
issued only as fully paid and non-assessable shares. Holders of the
common stock are entitled to share pro-rata in dividends and
distributions with respect to the common stock, as may be declared by
the Board of Directors out of funds legally available.
On July 18, 1997, the Company issued 500,000 shares of common stock for
services at a deemed value of $50.
On October 15, 1999, the Company implemented a 31:1 forward stock
split. Subsequent to year end, on April 3, 2000, the Company reversed
the previous 31:1 forward stock split. The statements of changes in
stockholders' equity have been restated to give retroactive recognition
of the stock split presented by reclassifying from common stock to
deficit accumulated during the development stage, the par value of
shares arising from the split. In addition, all references to number of
shares and per share amounts of common stock have been restated to
reflect the stock split.

The Company has a net operating loss carryforward of approximately
$3,541, which if not used, will expire between the years 2019 and 2020.
The Company has provided a full valuation allowance on the deferred tax
asset because of the uncertainty regarding realizability.
6. SUBSEQUENT EVENT

split, whereby the Company's share capital decreased from 15,500,000
common shares to 500,000 common shares

Item 8 - Changes In and Disagreements With Accountants on Accounting and
Financial Disclosure
On October 20, 1999, the Issuer appointed Davidson & Company, Chartered
Accountants to replace Kish, Leake & Associates, P.C. as our principal
accountants. The report of Kish, Leake & Associates, P.C. on our financial
statements did not contain an adverse opinion or a disclaimer of opinion, and
was not qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting
principles. We had no disagreements with them on any matter of accounting
principles or practices, financial statement disclosure or auditing scope or
procedure. We did not consult with Davidson & Company on any accounting or
financial reporting matters in the periods prior to their appointment. The
change in accountants was approved by the Board of Directors. We filed a Form
8-K with the Commission (File No. 000-26683) on November 1, 1999.

COMPLIANCE WITH SECTION 16(A) OF THE EXCHANGE ACT
Based on the Issuer's review of copies of forms filed with the Securities and
Exchange Commission or written representations from certain reporting persons,
in compliance with Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, the
Issuer believes that during fiscal year 2000, all officers, directors and
greater than ten percent beneficial owners complied with the applicable filing
requirements.
Item 10 - Executive Compensation
None of our officers and/or directors have received any compensation. They all
have agreed to act without compensation until authorized by the Board of
Directors, which is not expected to occur until we have generated revenues from
operations. As of the date of this registration statement, we have no funds
available to pay directors. Further, none of the directors are accruing any
compensation pursuant to any agreement with us.
It is possible that, after we successfully complete a merger or acquisition,
that company may employ or retain one or more members of our management for the
purposes of providing services to the surviving entity. Each member of
management has agreed to disclose to the
18
<PAGE>
Board of Directors any discussions concerning possible employment by any entity
that proposes to undertake a transaction with us and further, to abstain from
voting on the transaction. Therefore, as a practical matter, if each member of
the Board of Directors is offered employment in any form from any prospective
merger or acquisition candidate, the proposed transaction will not be approved
by the Board of Directors as a result of the inability of the Board to
affirmatively approve the transaction. The transaction would then be presented
to our shareholders for approval.
It is possible that persons associated with management may refer a prospective
merger or acquisition candidate to us. In the event we complete a transaction
with any entity referred by associates of management, it is possible that the
associate will be compensated for their referral in the form of a finder's fee.
It is anticipated that this fee will be either in the form of restricted common
stock issued by us as part of the terms of the proposed transaction, or will be
in the form of cash consideration. If compensation is in the form of cash,
payment will be tendered by the acquisition or merger candidate, because we have
insufficient cash available. The amount of any finder's fee cannot be determined
as of the date of this registration statement, but is expected to be comparable
to consideration normally paid in like transactions, which range up to ten (10%)
percent of the transaction price. No member of management will receive any
finders fee, either directly or indirectly, as a result of their efforts to
implement our business plan.
No retirement, pension, profit sharing, stock option or insurance programs have
been adopted by the Issuer's for the benefit of its employees.
Item 11 - Security Ownership of Certain Beneficial Owners and Management
The following table sets forth the number of shares of the Issuer's Common Stock
beneficially owned by (i) each director and nominee for election to the Board of

31, 2000. Unless otherwise indicated, the shareholders listed in the table have

(1) Under the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission, shares not
actually outstanding are nevertheless deemed to be beneficially owned by a
person if such person has the right to acquire the shares within 60 days.
Pursuant to such SEC rules, shares deemed beneficially owned by virtue of a
person's right to acquire them are also treated as outstanding when
calculating the percent of class owned by such person and when determining
the percentage owned by a group.
(2) Based on 500,000 shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding as of March
31, 2000.
