PROSPECTUS SUMMARY
The Company
Mirex, Inc. a Nevada corporation was formed on February 28,
1986. Our company's offices are located at 8452 Boseck Drive,
Suite 272, Las Vegas, Nevada 89145.
Mirex, an international consulting company, has consulted for
Bechtel Civil and Minerals, San Francisco, and developed
associations with Hochtief AG Germany's largest construction
company, Thyssen AG a major industrial and trading company and
Nanhai Oil Shenzhen Development and Service Corporation of China.
In May 1999 Mirex entered into an agreement with Xaxon Immobilien
und Anlagen Consult GmbH, a German corporation, to provide
financing to acquire and commence the development of the Thousand
Springs Ranches located in Elko County, Nevada.
For the initial financing of $125,000,000 (One Hundred Twenty-
five Million USD) Mirex will be paid a fee equal 3.5% of the
total loan amount. Mirex has been named the project manager for
future development of the Thousand Springs Ranches. Mirex will
be entitled fees of 7.5% of the total costs. A hydroelectric dam
and a water theme resort are to be the major developments on the
ranch.
The completed hydroelectric dam will be able to sell the
electricity generated by the dam onto an electrical grid that
supplies the seven western states, Washington, Oregon,
California, Idaho, Nevada, Utah and Arizona. Mirex will have the
right to negotiate and market the electricity generated from the
dam and will be paid a brokerage fee.

RISK FACTORS
THE SECURITIES OFFERED HEREBY ARE HIGHLY SPECULATIVE IN NATURE
AND INVOLVE A HIGH DEGREE OF RISK. ONLY PERSONS WHO CAN AFFORD TO
LOSE THEIR ENTIRE INVESTMENT SHOULD PURCHASE THEM. THEREFORE,
EACH PROSPECTIVE INVESTOR SHOULD, PRIOR TO PURCHASE, CONSIDER
VERY CAREFULLY THE FOLLOWING RISK FACTORS AMONG OTHER THINGS, AS
WELL AS ALL OTHER INFORMATION SET FORTH IN THIS PROSPECTUS.
Mirex has lack of experience in the field of project management.
Mirex has recently undergone reorganization, has no revenues from
operations and has no assets. There is no assurance that Mirex
will generate revenues in the future or that Mirex will operate
at a profitable level. If Mirex is unable to generate sufficient
revenues so that it can operate at a profit, our company's
business will not succeed. Investors may lose their entire cash
investment.
Mirex may fail to obtain loans for Xaxon Immobilien und Anlagen
Consult GmbH.
Mirex may experience substantial competition in its efforts to
locate the necessary loans for Xaxon Immobilien und Anlagen
Consult GmbH. Many competitors in international finance have
greater experience, resources, and managerial capabilities than
our company and may be in a better position than Mirex to obtain
available loans for their clients.
Reliance on the management of Mirex could jeopardize your
investment.
The investor is relying on the management of Mirex to obtain the
financing for it's client Xaxon Immobilien und Anlagen Consult
GmbH. Mirex must rely on key technical personnel that it must
hire if it is to be successful in its contract as project
manager. None of the officers or directors, or any of the other
key personnel have any employment or non-compete agreement with
Mirex. If any of these individuals cease to be affiliated with
Mirex for any reason before qualified replacements could be found,
there could be significant adverse effects on our company's
business.
Officers and directors may have conflicts of interest with Mirex.
The following describes a possible conflict of interest of the
officers and directors:
Mr. Lewis Eslick is the president of Mirex, Inc. and the managing
director of Xaxon Immobilien und Anlagen Consult GmbH. Mirex,
Inc. was dependent upon Xaxon Immobilien und Anlagen Consult GmbH
for the contracts it was awarded. Mr. Eslick's position in these
companies could be considered a conflict of interest.
Mrs. Leslie Eslick is the secretary of Mirex, Inc. and the
assistant managing director of Xaxon Immobilien und Anlagen
Consult GmbH. This relationship between Mirex, Inc., and Xaxon
Immobilien und Anlagen Consult GmbH may present a conflict of
interest.
Mrs. Patsy Harting has no conflicts of interest.
Mirex may require additional financing
Even if all of the 5,000,000 shares offered are sold additional
financing may be required. The funds available to Mirex may not
be adequate for it achieve its first contract for funding. There
is no assurance that additional funds will be available from any
other source when needed by Mirex. Additional financing might
come in the form of debt/preferred stock. If additional shares
were issued to obtain financing, investors in this offering would
suffer a dilutive effect on their percentage of stock ownership
in Mirex. The book value of their shares would not be diluted,
provided additional shares are sold at a price greater than that
paid by investors in this offering.
Additional purchases of Mirex, Inc., common stock by affiliates
There is no intent or plan for the affiliates of the company to
acquire any additional shares of Mirex's common stock to reach
the minimum offering.
The shares of this offering are to be sold by Mirex.
The 5,000,000 shares are to be offered directly by Mirex, and no
individual, firm, or corporation has agreed to purchase any of
the shares. No assurance can be given that any or all of the
shares will be sold.
Mirex has determined the offering price of the shares.
The offering price of the shares bears no relation to book value,
assets, earnings, or any other objective criteria of value. Mirex
has arbitrarily determined the price. There is no assurance that,
even if a public trading market develops for the Mirex's
securities, the shares will attain market values equal to the
offering price.
Mirex may not be able to develop a public market for it's
securities.
Prior to this initial public offering, there has been no public
market for the shares being offered. Mirex can give no assurance
that an active trading market will develop or that purchasers of
the shares will be able to resell their securities at prices
equal to or greater than the initial public offering price.
Purchasers of the shares may not be able to liquidate their
investment readily or at all.
Uncertainty due to year 2000 problem.
The Year 2000 issue arises because many computerized systems use
two digits rather than four to identify a year. Date sensitive
systems may recognize the year 2000 as 1900 or some other date,
resulting in errors when information using the year 2000 date is
processed. In addition, similar problems may arise in some
systems that use certain dates in 1999 to represent something
other than a date. The effects of the Year 2000 issue may be
experienced before, on, or after January 1, 2000, and if not
addressed, the impact on operations and financial reporting may
range from minor errors to significant system failure, which could
affect Mirex's ability to conduct normal business operations. This
creates potential risk for all companies, even if their own
computer systems are Year 2000 compliant. It is not possible to
be certain that all aspects of the Year 2000 issue affecting our
company, including those related to the efforts of customers,
suppliers, or other third parties, will be fully resolved.
Mirex's Year 2000 plans are based on management's best estimates.
Based on currently available information, management does not
believe that the Year 2000 issues will have a material adverse
impact on our company's financial condition or results of
operations. Because of the uncertainties in this area, Mirex can
give no assurances in this regard.
USE OF PROCEEDS
Following the sale of the 5,000,000 shares offered by Mirex there
would be gross proceeds of $20,000 (less certain expenses of this
offering). These proceeds will be used to provide start-up and
working capital for Mirex.
Table I describes the amount of funds collected from this
offering and the costs that will be incurred to complete the
offering (based on the minimum and maximum offering amounts):

The management of Mirex anticipates expending these funds for the
purposes indicated above. To the extent that expenditures are
less than projected, the resulting balances will be retained and
used for general working capital purposes or allocated according
to the discretion of the board of directors. Conversely, to the
extent that such expenditures require the utilization of funds in
excess of the amounts anticipated, supplemental amounts may be
drawn from other sources, including, general working capital
and/or external financing. The net proceeds of this offering
that are not expended immediately may be deposited in interest or
non-interest bearing accounts, or invested in government
obligations, certificates of deposit, commercial paper, money
market mutual funds, or similar investments. Management and/or
the principal shareholders will not receive any monies collected
from shares sold in the initial public offering.
DETERMINATION OF OFFERING PRICE
The offering price is not based upon Mirex, Inc.'s net worth,
total asset value, or any other objective measure of value based
upon accounting measurements. The offering price is determined
by the board of directors of Mirex and was determined arbitrarily
based upon the amount of funds needed by our company to start-up
the business, and the number of shares that the initial
shareholders were willing to allow to be sold.
DILUTION
Mirex's Certified Public Account reporting on costs of start-up
activities is in compliance with "SOP 98-5". Start-up costs and
organizational costs are expensed as they are incurred.
"Dilution" is the difference between the public offering price of
a security and its net tangible book value per share immediately
after the offering, giving effect to the receipt of net proceeds
in the offering. As of November 10, 1999, the net tangible book
value of our company was $0.00 or $0.00 per share.
If Mirex achieves the sale of the maximum offered shares at the
public offering price, the pro forma net tangible book value of
our company would be $10,325.00 or $0.002 per share, which would
represent an immediate increase of $0.002 in net tangible book
value per share and $ 0 per share dilution per share to new
investors.
If Mirex achieves only the sale of the minimum offered at the
public offering price, the pro forma net tangible book value of
our company would be $5,825.00 or $0.00116 per share, which would
represent an immediate increase of $0.00116 in net tangible book
value per share and $ 0 per share dilution per share to new
investors.
Dilution of the book value of the shares may result from future
share offerings by Mirex.
PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION
Mirex will sell a maximum of 5,000,000 shares of its common
stock, par value $.001 per share to the public as a direct sale
by our company. The minimum purchase required of an investor is
$300.00. There can be no assurance that any of these shares will
be sold. The gross proceeds to Mirex will be $20,000.00 if all
the shares offered are sold. Our company, or any of its
principals will pay no commissions or other fees, directly or
indirectly, to any person or firm in connection with solicitation
of sales of the shares. These securities are offered by Mirex
subject to prior sale and to approval of certain legal matters by
counsel.
Investors have the opportunity to make inquiries of Mirex, Inc.
Mirex will make available to each Offeree, prior to any sale of
the shares, the opportunity to ask questions and receive answers
from our company concerning any aspect of the investment. The

fiduciary duty as a director involving any act or omission of any
director since provisions have been made in the articles of
incorporation limiting liability. The following provisions shall
not eliminate or limit the liability of a director:
any breach of the director's duty of loyalty to the Company or
its stockholders,
any acts or omissions not in good faith or, which involve
intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law, under
applicable Sections of the Nevada Revised Statutes,
payment of dividends in violation of Section 78.300 of the Nevada
Revised Statutes
any transaction where the director derived an improper personal
benefit.
The by-laws provide for indemnification of the directors,
officers, and employees of Mirex and in most cases for any
liability suffered by them or arising out of their activities as
directors, officers, and employees of the Company.
Indemnification applies if they were not engaged in willful
misfeasance or malfeasance in the performance of his or her
duties. In the event of a settlement, the indemnification will
apply only when the board of directors approves the settlement
and reimbursement as being for the best interests of Mirex. The
by-laws limit the liability of directors to the maximum extent
permitted by Nevada law (Section 78.751).
The officers and directors of Mirex are accountable to the
Company as fiduciaries, which means they are required to exercise
good faith and fairness in all dealings affecting Mirex. In the
event that a shareholder believes the officers and/or directors
have violated their fiduciary duties to Mirex, the shareholder
may, subject to applicable rules of civil procedure, be able to
bring a class action or derivative suit to enforce the
shareholder's rights. These include rights under certain federal
and state securities laws and regulations to recover damages from
and require an accounting by management. Shareholders, who have
suffered losses in connection with the purchase or sale of their
interest in Mirex in connection with a sale or purchase,
including the misapplication by any officer or director of the
proceeds from the sale of these securities, may be able to
recover losses from the Company.
The registrant undertakes the following:
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the
Securities Act of 1933 (the "Act") may be permitted to directors,
officers and controlling persons of the small business issuer
pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the small
business issuer 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.
ORGANIZATION WITHIN LAST FIVE YEARS
The names of the promoters of Mirex, Inc., are the officers and
directors as disclosed elsewhere in this Form SB-2. None of the
promoters have received anything of value from the registrant.
DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS
Mirex's Corporate History
Mirex, Inc., a Nevada Corporation was organized February 28, 1986
as an international consulting company by its incorporators,
Lewis and Leslie Eslick. Mirex entered into a consulting
contract in 1986 with Bechtel Civil and Minerals. This agreement
was entered into to assist Bechtel in acquiring a contract to
construct a portion of the Mawan Harbor at the mouth of the Pearl
River in Shenzhen, China.
The contract consisted of the following:
The construction of a 12 berth harbor to accommodate ocean cargo
vessels of up to 50,000 Dead Weight Tons. The cost was
approximately $191,000,000 (One Hundred Ninety-one Million USD).
The construction of the Shenzhen Petro-Chemical Refinery with an
operating capacity of 68,000 barrels per day. This Petro-Chemical
Refinery was to be constructed at a cost of approximately
$184,000,000 (One Hundred Eighty-four Million USD).
Mirex was then requested to assist in obtaining financing for the
construction of the Mawan Port Facility. Mirex, Inc., with the
assistance of Triad Enterprises S.A., Villars Sur Glane,
Switzerland, arranged a loan with Banco Arabe de Espanole in an
amount of $375,000,000 (Three Hundred Seventy-five Million USD)
In 1990 Mirex, Inc. negotiated with the State of Nevada an
Industrial Development Revenue Bond in an amount of Twelve
million Three Hundred Thousand Dollars ($12,300,000.00). These
bonds were to finance a manufacturing facility which would
produce antique and classic automobiles. The manufacturing plant
was to be located in the city of Reno, Nevada. Mirex worked for
over two years complying with the State of Nevada regulations
concerning the issuance of Industrial Development Revenue Bonds.
Mirex was successful in obtaining an inducement certificate from
the State of Nevada for the bond issue, but Mirex was unable to
obtain the necessary financial guarantee required by the State of
Nevada fund the bonds.
Mr. Eslick spent an extensive amount of time in Europe from 1993
through 1996. During those years Mirex, Inc., became a dormant
company. In the later part of 1996 Mr. Eslick returned to the
United States. Following Mr. Eslick's suggestion, the board of
directors of Mirex amended its articles of incorporation and
structured the company so that it could be in a position for a
public offering.
Business summary of Mirex, Inc.
Mirex, has entered into an agreement with Xaxon Immobilien und
Anlagen Consult GmbH, a German corporation, to provide the
necessary financing to acquire and commence the development of
the Thousand Springs Ranches located in Elko County, Nevada.
Xaxon Immobilien und Anlagen Consult GmbH was formed in the city
of Melli, Germany in 1978. Mr. Eslick acquired Xaxon and
relocated it to Bad Homburg v.d.H. Germany in 1995. The original
name of the Company was Xaxon Immobilien und Investoren Consult
GmbH, the government of Germany required the word Investoren be
changed. The name was changes to Xaxon Immobilien und Anlagen
Consult GmbH. Mr. Eslick is currently the Managing Director of
Xaxon.
Xaxon became aware that the Thousand Springs ranch was being
offered for sale in August of 1995. Xaxon commenced negotiations
with the owners to acquire the ranch. The current owners of the
ranch presented Xaxon with a sales agreement in late 1995. The
purchase and development of the ranch can only be accomplished if
sufficient financing can be arranged. The funds needed are to be
utilized as follows:
Acquisition of ranch, livestock and equipment $62,250,000
Development of irrigation and water flow $22,750,000
Construct initial reservoir to prepare for dam site $40,000,000
Mirex has an agreement to secure financing for Xaxon Immobilien
und Anlagen Consult GmbH in the amount of $125,000,000 (One
Hundred Twenty-five Million USD . For arranging the financing,
Mirex will be paid a fee equal to 3.5% of the total loan amount.
This fee will equate to approximately $4,375,000 (Four Million
Three Hundred Seventy-five Thousand USD).
The agreement between Mirex and Xaxon Immobilien und Anlagen
Consult GmbH additionally names Mirex as the Project Manager for
construction of a hydroelectric dam and a water theme park
resort. If Mirex is successful in obtaining the secondary
financing it will receive a fee equal to 7.5% of the total
project costs.
As the Project Manager, Mirex will be responsible for the
following:
submit the construction of the hydroelectric dam to qualified
companies on a design and build basis. This will take into
consideration the optimum electrical output at the most effective
cost.
submit the design construction of a water theme resort park to
qualified companies, including hotel/casino and gaming companies
on a design and build basis.
The Thousand Springs Ranch consists of over 1,000,000 contiguous
acres and approximately 242,000 acre-feet of water rights. A
portion of the ranch known as the 21-mile canyon has been
determined as the ideal location for the dam and reservoir. Mirex
can not determine at this time where qualified geologists and
engineers will locate the dam. Because of this Mirex has no way
of determining an accurate cost of construction or it's project
managers fees.
If the hydroelectric dam is constructed Mirex has secured the
rights from Xaxon to sell the electricity generated by the dam
onto the electrical grid that supplies the seven western states,
Washington, Oregon, California, Idaho, Nevada, Utah and Arizona.
Mirex will be paid a brokerage fee of 10% for marketing the
electricity.
Xaxon Immobilien und Anlagen Consult GmbH intends to market a
portion of the water rights from the ranch on a 20-year right to
use lease. Mirex has been given the first right of refusal to
acquire the water rights. Mirex could purchase the leased water
rights and resell them to any third party. In the alternative
Mirex may market the lease on the water rights to any third party
for a 6% fee.
If Mirex is not successful in obtaining the initial financing it
will become to a shell company. As a shell company Mirex will
abide by the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange
Commission. In this event Mirex will continue to file timely all
documents required to remain current with the SEC and at the same
time seek new business ventures.
The legal structure of Mirex, Inc.
Mirex was organized as a Nevada Corporation, and has filed all
the necessary paperwork with the Secretary of State of Nevada to
gain its corporate certificate and remains in good standing.
DESCRIPTION OF PROPERTY
The Company does not currently own any property.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT
Board of Directors November 11, 1999
Mirex, Inc.
Las Vegas, Nevada
I have audited the accompanying Balance Sheets of Mirex, Inc. (A
Development Stage Company), as of September 30, 1999, December
31, 1998, and December 31, 1997, and the related statements of
operations, stockholders' equity and cash flows for the period
January 1, 1999, to September 30, 1999, and the two years ended
December 31, 1998, and December 31, 1997, and the period February
28, 1986 (inception) to September 30, 1999. These financial
statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. My
responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial
statements based on my audit.
I conducted my 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. I believe that my
audit provides a reasonable basis for my opinion.
In my opinion, the financial statements referred to above present
fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of
Mirex, Inc. (A Development Stage Company), as of September 30,
1999, December 31, 1998, and December 31, 1997, and the related
statements of operations, stockholders' equity and cash flows for
the period January 1, 1999, to September 30, 1999, and the two
years ended December 31, 1998, and December 31, 1997, and the
period February 28, 1986 (inception) to September 30, 1999, in
conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming
the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in
Note #5 to the financial statements, the Company has suffered
recurring losses from operations and has no established source of
revenue. This raises substantial doubt about its ability to
continue as a going concern. Management's plan in regard to these
matters is described in Note #5. These financial statements do
not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of
this uncertainty.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
September 30, 1999, December 31, 1998, and December 31, 1997
NOTE 1 - HISTORY AND ORGANIZATION OF THE COMPANY
The Company was organized February 28, 1986, under the laws of
the State of Nevada as Mirex, Inc. The Company currently has no
operations and in accordance with SFAS #7, is considered a
development company.
NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Accounting Method
The Company records income and expenses on the accrual method.
Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles requires management to
make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts
of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and
liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the
reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting
period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Cash and equivalents
The Company maintains a cash balance in a non-interest-bearing
bank that currently does not exceed federally insured limits. For
the purpose of the statements of cash flows, all highly liquid
investments with the maturity of three months or less are
considered to be cash equivalents. There are no cash equivalents
as of September 30, 1999.
Income Taxes
Income taxes are provided for using the liability method of
accounting 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
difference between financial and tax reporting. Deferred tax
expense (benefit) results from the net change during the year of
deferred tax assets and liabilities.
Organization Costs
Costs incurred to organize the Company were amortized on a
straight-line basis over a sixty-month period.
Loss Per Share
Net loss per share is provided in accordance with Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 128 (SFAS #128) "Earnings Per
Share". Basic loss per share is computed by dividing losses
available to common stockholders by the weighted average number
of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted loss per
share reflects per share amounts that would have resulted if
dilative common stock equivalents had been converted to common
stock. As of September 30, 1999, the Company had no dilative
common stock equivalents such as stock options.
Year End
The Company has selected December 31st as its fiscal year-end.
Year 2000 Disclosure
Computer programs that have time sensitive software may recognize
a date using "00" as the year 1900 rather than the year 2000.
This could result in a system failure or miscalculations causing
disruption of normal business activities.
The company's potential software suppliers have verified that
they will provide only certified "Year 2000" compatible software
for all of the company's computing requirements. Because the
company's products and services are sold to the general public
with no major customers, the company believes that the "Year
2000" issue will not pose significant operational problems and
will not materially affect future financial results.
NOTE 3 - INCOME TAXES
There is no provision for income taxes for the period ended
December 31, 1998, due to the net loss and no state income tax in
Nevada, the state of the Company's domicile and operations. The
Company's total deferred tax asset as of December 31, 1998, is as
follows:
Net operation loss carry forward $ 10,211
Valuation allowance $ 10,211
Net deferred tax asset $ 0
The federal net operating loss carry forward will expire from
2006 to 2018.
NOTE 4 - STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY
Common Stock
The authorized common stock of the corporation consists of
50,000,000, shares with a par value $.001 per share.
Preferred Stock
The Corporation has no preferred stock.
On March 7, 1986, the Company issued 1,700 shares of its no par
value common stock for consideration of 168,417 shares of Mutual
Oil Of America, Inc. valued at $402,251.00.
On October 17, 1996, the State of Nevada approved the Company's
restated Articles of Incorporation, which increased its
capitalization from 2,500 Common Shares to 50,000,000 Common
Shares. The No Par Value of the common shares was changed to
$0.001.
On October 17, 1996, the company forward split it's common stock
600:1, thus increasing the number of outstanding common shares
from 1,700 shares to 1,020,000 shares.
NOTE 5 - GOING CONCERN
The Company's financial statements are prepared using 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 does not have significant cash or other material assets,
nor does it have an established source of revenues sufficient to
cover its operating costs and to allow it to continue as a going
concern. The stockholders/officers and or directors have
committed to advancing the operating costs of the Company
interest free.
NOTE 6 - RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
The Company neither owns nor leases any real or personal
property. An officer of the corporation provides office services
without charge. Such costs are immaterial to the financial
statements and accordingly, have not been reflected therein. The
officers and directors of the Company are involved in other
business activities and may in the future, become involved in
other business opportunities. If a specific business opportunity
becomes available, such persons may face a conflict in selecting
between the Company and their other business interests. The
Company has not formulated a policy for the resolution of such
conflicts.
NOTE 7 - WARRANTS AND OPTIONS
There are no warrants or options outstanding to acquire any
additional share of common stock.

UNDERTAKINGS
The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes to:
(a) (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; and Notwithstanding the forgoing, any
increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the
total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that
which was registered) and any deviation From the low or high end
of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the
form of prospects filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule
424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in the 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.
(ii) Reflect in the prospectus any facts or events which, individually
or together, represent a fundamental change in the information in
the registration statement; and notwithstanding the forgoing, any
increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the
total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that
which was registered) and any deviation From the low or high end
of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the
form of prospects filed with the
(iv) Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the
changes in the 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.
(v) Include any additional or changed material information on the

(2) For determining liability under the Securities Act, treat
each post-effective amendment as a new registration statement of

(3) File a post-effective amendment to remove from registration
any of the securities that remain unsold at the end of the
offering.
(b) Provide to the underwriter at the closing specified in the
underwriting agreement certificates in such denominations and

c Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the
Securities Act of 1933 (the "Act") may be permitted to directors,
officers and controlling persons of the small business issuer
pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the small
business issuer 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 small
business issuer of expenses incurred or paid by a director,
officer or controlling person of the small business issuer 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 small business issuer
will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been
settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of
appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such
indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in
the Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication
of such issue.

Please find enclosed a copy of a Certificate executed by me
on July 15, 1991, extending the period of the inducement
certificate issued for the Mirex, Inc. IDRB project for one-year,
to and including August 13, 1992. You should keep a copy of this

of the Department of Commerce to issue tax exempt IDRB's will be
dependent on any extension legislation Considered by the
Congress.

Re: Walker-Winecup-Gamble, Inc.
Dear Lewis,
I am sending you the information that you requested from Arnold
Mullen. Lewis, although these reports were made while Lands of
Sierra were the owners, it is my understanding that these reports
took a time period of three years and a cost of four million
dollars to complete. The nice thing about talking to those know
is that these reports are valid today with a minimal amount of
