PART I
ITEM 1. DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS.
(A) BUSINESS DEVELOPMENT
RadioTower.com, Inc. ("RADIOTOWER") was incorporated under the laws of the State
of Nevada on May 5, 1998 under the original name "Magnum Ventures Inc."
RadioTower changed its name on May 18, 1999 to "RadioTower.com, Inc."
Initially, RadioTower was in the mining business and on June 4, 1998, acquired
the right to purchase some mineral claims. However, this was the extent of
RadioTower's operation as a mining company and its involvement in the mining
industry. RadioTower did not do any testing on or developing of the mineral
claims.. See Note #4 of the December 31, 1999 financial statements for more
information.
In March 1999, the board of directors decided to abandon its rights to the
mineral claims and not to make any further option payments, resulting in the
termination of the option. RadioTower ceased all mining industry activities at
this time, and the board of directors decided to enter into the radio Internet
business. RadioTower has not been involved in any bankruptcy, receivership or
similar proceedings. There has been no material reclassification, merger,
consolidation or purchase or sale of a significant amount of assets not in the
ordinary course of RadioTower's business with the exception of the acquisition
of the assets and goodwill of Radiotower.com and Radio Tower Interactive from
Paul Valkama and Henry Valkama. See "Item 7. Certain Relationships and Related
Transactions" and Exhibit 6.1 - Purchase Agreement for more details.
At the completion of the acquisition of the domain asset of Radiotower.com,
Anthony England subsequently resigned as a director and as the sole officer of
RadioTower on August 9, 1999. Alan Brown was elected a director on April 23,
1999, and appointed the sole officer of RadioTower on August 9, 1999. Mr.
Brown's affiliation with RadioTower began in March 1999, when he was first
introduced to Paul Valkama and Henry Valkama. As a result of Mr. Brown's
considerable experience in preparing financial statements, in corporate tax, and
the administration of corporate records, the Valkama brothers offered Mr. Brown
a position on the Board of Directors.
Prior to the acquisition of the domain asset of RadioTower from the Valkama
brothers, RadioTower was doing business as a sole proprietorship. They operated
the radiotower.com site as a hobby business from which no revenues were
generated. They also provided web design work, under contract, for various small
businesses. New station listings were constantly added as they became available.
The site was marketed online through various free channels. At this point, an
advertising agent (Burst Media) was contracted to solicit advertising on
RadioTower's behalf. Version 3.0 of RadioTower's site also involved an interface
change along with adding database backend. RadioTower put in place partnerships
with Pronet Enterprises Ltd. (see Exhibit #6.5) and Destiny Media Technologies
Inc. (see Exhibit #6.4) to begin development of the AudioAd service. Version 4.0
of the site, launched on December 20, 1999, included a new interface and
operated on an in-house Linux Server. RadioTower is constantly adding new
stations to the database with development of new features ongoing.
(B) BUSINESS OF RADIOTOWER
RadioTower is an Internet company (www. radiotower.com). RadioTower is a pioneer
of Internet audio, being one of the first companies online with a live radio
directory and audio portal. The directory is a free television guide-like
listing of over 1,000 radio stations worldwide. With the use of existing
technology, such as RealPlayer, RadioTower allows listeners to link to and
listen to these radio stations.
<PAGE>
RADIOTOWER.COM, INC. FORM 10-SB PAGE 4 OF 19
For each listing, RadioTower supplies a direct audio link, whereby the user can
listen to the radio station directly from RadioTower's site, and a link to the
station's own website. RadioTower also lists the station's name, call letters,
category and location, and provides a brief description of the radio station.
Site users must have a multi-media computer with free downloadable copy of
RealPlayer installed. Audio quality depends on speed of Internet connection,
computer speed and quality of a particular station's host server. Users can
search for a station by name, country, category or keyword search. Once a
station is located, the user simply clicks on the play button beside each
station to listen. The user is free to continue to browse RadioTower's site,
surf other websites and work at home or in the office while listening to the
radio station. New stations are constantly being added to the RadioTower's
database.
RadioTower only contains listings for those radio stations that already
broadcast their signals over the Internet using Real Audio.
Transition Capital Management was hired in March 1999 to handle management,
filing and accounting for RadioTower. These services were terminated in July
1999 and all invoices and promissory notes were paid up to date.
Principal Products or Services and their Markets
RadioTower is a free online directory of Internet audio sites. The directory
currently provides information and easy access to over 1,000 radio stations from
around the world. RadioTower has built a steady user base of 20,000 monthly
listeners with no marketing budget and receives 100,000 page views a month due
to: Positive word-of-mouth, high listings on most major search engines, links
from 100's of other sites to RadioTower's website, favourable reviews (L.A.
Times, HotWired, Vancouver Sun etc.) and numerous awards (Yahoo Picks, Windows
Magazine Site of the Day etc.).
According to RadioTower's ISP server statistics provided by Eline Technologies
Inc., RadioTower's website has an average of just under 900 site visitors per
day, which extrapolates into 27,000 visitors per month.
Search engines such as Yahoo and Altavista are the #1 way that Internet users
find web sites. A high listing on these search engines (on the first page of
results) is a very important marketing tool. These rankings are constantly
changing and RadioTower regularly submits updates to attempt to keep
RadioTower's rankings high.
Link popularity is the total number of web sites that link to RadioTower's
website. Good link popularity can dramatically increase traffic to RadioTower's
website. According to linkpopularity.com there are 1136 websites on the Alta
Vista search engine that currently have links to RadioTower.
In a typical Internet session a user will go to RadioTower's site and select the
radio station of their preference by name, place and/or genre. The station's
audio signal will be broadcast continually as the user surfs other stations or
sites, works in the office or home, or until they select another station.
A user must have a multi-media computer and a free downloadable copy of the
RealPlayer installed. Audio quality depends on speed of Internet connection and
computer and quality of a particular station's host server. A 28k modem and 486
computer will provide acceptable results.
RadioTower did not have any revenues generated from its business operations
during its last two fiscal years. RadioTower is in the early stages of operation
and just beginning to generate business revenues. Since June 30, 1999,
RadioTower has generated revenues from the sale of onsite advertising.
<PAGE>
RADIOTOWER.COM, INC. FORM 10-SB PAGE 5 OF 19
Our advertisers have included Rolling Stone Magazine and Gillette. RadioTower's
ecommerce affiliates have included: Music Previews, Audio Book Club, Beyond.com
(software), IQ (audio software) and Wall Street Journal. Specific RadioTower Web
pages will be targeted towards particular audiences. Users can browse the site
by 20 different categories such as Rock, Classical, Sports or Business. Users
who select a certain category can be targeted on the main page for that
category. For example, visitors to RadioTower's Rock pages will see
advertisements and be able to click directly to areas that would be of interest
to Rock music fans.
The target for RadioTower's products and advertising is the individual listener
with a personal computer. Historically, radio stations have targeted precise
listeners with unique profiles. According to the National Association of
Broadcasters, online radio stations plan to acquire a share of the $12
billion/year radio business by tapping into this marketing source. It is
management's belief that by providing individual listeners with what they want
in a radio station's web site, such as information and shopping, radio stations
will attract listeners, which in turn will attract advertisers.
According to Arbitron Internet Listing Study II from July 1998 to January 1999,
Americans who listened to Internet radio increased by 6% to 13%. According to a
BRS Media report dated April 27, 2000, there were 3,537 radio stations available
over the Internet with another 5,784 radio stations that had a website but did
not webcast.
Listeners can bookmark their favourite radio station's web sites and may not
need to return to RadioTower once having done so. However, users will initially
find RadioTower of service in finding these stations. Also, RadioTower will soon
offer a My-Audio feature whereby site users can make as many of their own
presets as they want. This customization feature will impact on RadioTower's
plan to attract advertisers and revenues from operations by increasing customer
loyalty and page view with a corresponding increase in revenue.
Distribution Methods
RadioTower will distribute its products and services over the Internet and will
advertise through medium such as newspapers, television and radio. The main
product, RadioTower.com, is distributed over the Internet. AudioAds are
available for online purchase and delivery on the Internet.
<PAGE>
RADIOTOWER.COM, INC. FORM 10-SB PAGE 6 OF 19
Status of Publicly Announced New Product or Service
RadioTower' site is constantly under development. RadioTower will work with
other Internet development firms to create more powerful software. RadioTower
will partner with content providers and other Internet sites to maximize the
reach and ability of its offerings. Some features RadioTower plans to offer
include:
o highly targeted rich media ads (audio banners) that increase the
value of our partners content.
o customizable one-click access to an array of preselected audio
reports and audio updates on specific topics, such as NFL reports
or OTC-BB reports.
o information about the song and artist which is currently playing
and relevant links.
o Internet audio hosting services
Competition
Even though the Internet radio market is large enough to support several
directories, RadioTower still competes with many companies possessing greater
financial resources and technical facilities than itself in the Internet radio
market as well as for the recruitment and retention of qualified personnel. Many
of RadioTower's competitors have a very diverse portfolio and have not confined
their market to one industry, product or service, but offer a wide array of
multi-layered businesses consisting of may different customers and industry
partners.
RadioTower's has differentiated itself from its large competitors by offering an
international directory that includes all types of radio stations. These
competitors, while better financed and more popular, list certain stations only:
Stations that use a particular streaming audio technology (Real Guide, Windows
Media Guide), or use a particular streaming audio service provider (Yahoo
Broadcast). While RadioTower can host stations, it is not a prerequisite to be
listed on the site. It makes no difference to audio quality where the person
links from.
Other competitive directories do exist: Internet Radio List, BRS Web Radio
Directory, Seek Radio, Earth Tuner, On The Air, vTuner, Atomic Global Radio,
Sunset Radio, Broadcastmusic.com, Virtual Tuner and MIT List of Radio Stations.
All these sites offer the same basic information - RadioTower differs from them
in a qualitative way rather than quantitative. It is management's belief that
RadioTower's site provides a better experience for its users than its
competitors - it is visually more appealing, runs faster and is easier to use.
With adequate financing, management believes it can distinguish itself from
these competitors by developing an even better site (offering more information,
easier to use and more powerful graphic features) and through superior
marketing.
RadioTower's policy is to link to all audio providers regardless of technology
or proprietary interests. Key advantages that RadioTower has over its
competitors are an in-depth knowledge of the Internet industry and Internet
audio, a functional Web site with regular users, and site recognition and
strategic alliances with important industry players, such as:
o Burst Media LLC. - advertising placement agency that resells
RadioTower's ad inventory (See Exhibit 6.3 - Site Contract);
o Destiny Media Technologies Inc. (formerly Destiny Software
Productions Inc. - developer of audio streaming technology that
is used in RadioTower's AudioAd Player (See Exhibit 6.4 -
Interim Licence Agreement);
o Pronet Enterprises Ltd. - operates an Internet business directory
and a marketing partner for AudioAds; and
Sources, Raw Materials and Principal Suppliers
The RadioTower site is developed and maintained by RadioTower personnel and then
delivered, via Internet, to Vancouver-based Eline Technologies Inc. for serving.
See Exhibit 6.6 - Contract with Eline Technologies Inc. for more information.
This site can serve over 200,000 customers per hour. Station data is researched
on the Internet, then added to the database on a monthly basis. As a courtesy,
RadioTower notifies each radio station of its inclusion and asks if any changes
are required. To date, only one station has requested removal. Many stations
also contact RadioTower to request a listing or to compliment management on
RadioTower's service.
<PAGE>
RADIOTOWER.COM, INC. FORM 10-SB PAGE 7 OF 19
Dependence on One or a Few Major Customers
RadioTower does not have any major customers that it depends on. However,
RadioTower's advertising revenue depends on the selling of ad inventory by its
advertising agent, Burst Media.
Patents/Trade Marks/Licences/Franchises/Concessions/Royalty Agreements or Labour
Contracts
RadioTower currently does not own any patents or trade marks and is not a party
to any licence or franchise agreements, concessions, royalty agreements or
labour contracts.
The Internet site is copyrighted upon uploading. radiotower.com is a registered
domain name of RadioTower. RadioTower will seek trademark protection for
RadioTower as it refers to an internet service and further trademark protection
for the slogans "The Internet Radio Receiver", which RadioTower has used online
since June of 1996, and for "Transmitting YOUR message to the world!", which
RadioTower has used since June of 1997.
Requirement for Government Approval of Principal Products or Services
Currently, there is no requirement for RadioTower to obtain any governmental
approval on any of its products or services.
Effect of Existing or Probable Governmental Regulations on RadioTower's Business
RadioTower is a portal, distribution of radio. Except as indicated above, there
are no existing or probable government regulations on RadioTower's business.
However, there are unforeseen uncertainties in the future of the Internet radio
and audio. For example, as a result of a lack of regulation, the music industry
has a problem with pirating (copying) of music with the MP3 comparison
technologies available over the Internet. As MP3 has no copyright protection
built in, Internet users can technically copy material and distribute it without
paying royalties. Although illegal, this bypasses the music industry and
threatens their revenue stream. However, the technology used by RadioTower does
not allow for unauthorized copying. If a format does appear which satisfies both
the music industry and the consumers, downloadable music can become a vital
method of distribution and have a major impact. While the effect of MP3 is
sorted out, the use of streaming audio will continue to grow, unencumbered by
the objections of the music industry. Once an agreed upon standard appears for
downloadable audio, RadioTower can easily migrate into this market.
Also, the Digital Millennium Copyright Act contains provisions in regard to the
subject to payment of compulsory license fees for the performance right in sound
recordings. This licensee fee for webcasting has not been set and is currently
being negotiated by such interested parties as the Recording Industry
Association of America and the International Webcasting Association. As the
amount of these fees and what parties must pay them is unclear, the effect on
RadioTower is unknown at this point. RadioTower's profit potential can be
adversely affected, as the fees might be an additional material expense.
Expenditures on Research and Development During the Last Two Fiscal Years
$34,000 has have been spent on research and development activities since the
date of RadioTower's incorporation. None of these costs were borne directly by
the customers of RadioTower.
<PAGE>
RADIOTOWER.COM, INC. FORM 10-SB PAGE 8 OF 19
Number of Total Employees and Number of Full Time Employees
RadioTower has four employees, all of which are fulltime employees. RadioTower
is in the process of hiring programmers and designers on a consultant basis and
will continue to do so as the need arises.
ITEM 2. PLAN OF OPERATION.
RadioTower.com, Inc. ("RADIOTOWER") did not have any revenues generated
from its business operations during its last three fiscal years.
RadioTower's twelve-month plan of operation is to (i) improve the
quality and quantity of content on its website in order to provide the best
online directory connecting listeners to stations worldwide, (ii) increase site
traffic, and (iii) develop more revenue-generating programs. RadioTower will
improve its site by developing a more dynamic interface and making the site
easier to navigate and more graphically exciting. RadioTower will utilize new
technologies and software such as Flash with Vector graphics to improve the
quality of the website. RadioTower's strategy is to enhance the product design
while increasing brand awareness and loyalty among its listeners.
(A) CONTENT
It is management's intent to continue to add as many stations as
possible to its directory and will also continue to add more contextual and
specific information to RadioTower's website. As technology improves, management
plans to provide more customized features and a much more interactive interface
so that the website will have a user-friendly design and a quick download time
and will have cross-reference capabilities. The site will provide users with
more information on their searches such as better station descriptions, and will
highlight special events, concerts and regularly scheduled features. Management
intends to improve RadioTower's website so that it will also provide a multiple
of dynamic ways for visitors to interact in the site. These developments are
currently in progress and will be released on an ongoing basis.
RadioTower will continue to hire employees as the need arises and
finances allow. Positions will include web programmers, graphic artists, web
masters, multimedia designers, web writers, marketing representatives, sales
representatives and administrators.
(B) SITE TRAFFIC
In order to increase site traffic, RadioTower will launch an extensive
sales and marketing campaign to promote its website. The campaign will include
banner and audio advertising on the Internet, print ads in relevant print media
and spot ads on radio stations. RadioTower will participate in trade shows that
have an Internet, technology and/or radio focus.
(C) REVENUE
RadioTower will attempt to generate more revenue by (i) acquiring
exclusive rights to radio personalities and content, and (ii) putting in place
more e-commerce affiliations. RadioTower will pursue exclusive arrangements with
radio stations to rebroadcast their content. RadioTower will endeavour to make
arrangements with various radio personalities and shows and recording artists to
broadcast their material on the RadioTower site. This will create exposure for
the content provider and a marketing opportunity for RadioTower to drive traffic
to the site.
RadioTower is in the early stages of operation and just beginning to
generate business revenues. Revenue generating programs include:
<PAGE>
RADIOTOWER.COM, INC. FORM 10-SB PAGE 10 OF 19
o Advertising - Burst Media currently acts as an agent to place ads
on the RadioTower site; and
o AudioAds - beta site available, full launch set of summer 2000 and
provides turn-key solution for business' to put audio on their
web site. The final stage of beta testing is currently under
way.
(D) SUMMARY
RadioTower cannot satisfy its cash requirements for the next 12 months
without having to raise additional funds. RadioTower's expected cash requirement
for the next 12 months is $180,000. As RadioTower's monthly user base grows,
management expects advertising and e-commerce revenues to grow significantly.
RadioTower also expects to raise any required additional funds by way of equity
and/or debt financing. However, RadioTower may not be able to raise the required
funds from such financings. In that case RadioTower will proceed by approaching
current shareholders for loans to cover operating costs.
RadioTower will not be purchasing any plant or significant equipment.
RadioTower will continue with its research or development by conducting
continuous perceptual studies to monitor what listeners want from its website
and by continuing to explore various e-commerce models to ensure its store and
website continue to meet the listeners' needs.

ITEM 3. DESCRIPTION OF PROPERTY.

plans or arrangements with regard to any named executive officer which provide

among RadioTower, Paul Valkama and Henry Valkama dated March 12, 1999. The
assets included the domain name, a database of radio stations and a website,
which RadioTower has completely redeveloped since the acquisition. As full
consideration for the business, RadioTower issued an aggregate 6,500,000 shares
of common stock at $0.001 per share to Paul Valkama and Henry Valkama, as joint
tenants. See Exhibit 6.1 - Purchase Agreement for more details.

RadioTower an aggregate $64,975 - Larry McNabb ($10,000), Jason Walsh ($3,000)
and Tech Equities Ltd. ($51,975). The loans were evidenced by a non-interest
bearing promissory note payable on May 19, 2000, May 6, 2000, and December 31,
2000 respectively. All amounts are still outstanding. However, Mr. McNabb and
Mr. Walsh have agreed to extend the deadline for payment of their loans to
December 31, 2000. See Exhibit 6.7 - Copies of Promissory Notes" and Note #5 of
the audited financial statements for December 31, 1999 for more information.
Also, in December 1998, B-Mac Trading Inc., Barry Clemiss, Thomas Gardner,
Leslie Rutledge and Sharon Ivancoe advanced an aggregate $15,000 to RadioTower
to pay management fees, a legal retainer and to reduce a payable to a related
party. RadioTower repaid the advances in full by issuing an aggregate 1,500,000
shares to the lenders at $0.01 per share. See "Item 4. Recent Sale of

RADIOTOWER.COM, INC. FORM 10-SB PAGE 15 OF 19

executive officer or security holder had any direct or indirect interest in any

provided and continue to provide services for the organization of RadioTower and

ITEM 8. DESCRIPTION OF SECURITIES.
(A) COMMON OR PREFERRED STOCK
The authorized common stock of RadioTower is 50,000,000 shares of common stock
with a par value of $0.001 per share, of which 15,500,000 shares are issued and
outstanding as of the date of this filing, and 1,000,000 shares of preferred
stock with a par value of $0.01 per share, of which no shares have been issued.
All of the issued and outstanding shares of common stock are fully paid and
non-assessable.
All shares of both common stock and preferred stock have equal voting rights
and, when validly issued, are entitled to one vote per share in all matters to
be vote upon by the stockholders. The shares have no pre-emptive, subscription,
conversion or redemption rights and may be issued only as fully paid and
non-assessable shares. Cumulative voting in the election of directors is not
permitted, which means that the holders of a majority of the issued and
outstanding shares of common stock represented at any stockholder meeting at
which a quorum is present, will be able to elect the entire Board of Directors
if they so choose and, in such event, the holders of the remaining shares of
common stock will not be able to elect any directors. Holders of shares of
common stock are entitled to share rateable in distributions, as may be declared
from time to time by the Board of Directors in its discretion, from funds
legally available for distribution.
There is no provision in RadioTower's Articles of Incorporation or By-laws that
would delay, defer or prevent a change in control of RadioTower with the
exception of Article II of the Articles of Incorporation. Article II provides
that the Board of Directors of RadioTower may fix and determine the
designations, rights, preferences or other variations of each class or series
within each class of capital stock of RadioTower. If the Board of Directors
exercised this ability, it may have the potential to defer or prevent a change
of control of RadioTower.
(B) DEBT SECURITIES
RadioTower is not offering any debt securities.
(C) OTHER SECURITIES TO BE REGISTERED
RadioTower is not registering any other securities of its capital at this time
other than its common stock.

ITEM 5. INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS.
Articles V and VI of the Articles of Incorporation and Article VI of the By-Laws
of RadioTower set forth certain indemnification rights. The By-Laws of
RadioTower provide that RadioTower will indemnify its directors and officers
from any action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative, or
investigative to the fullest extent that indemnification is legally permissible
under the laws of Nevada. The By-laws further provide that any expenses of the
directors and officers incurred in defending an action, suit, or proceeding must
be paid by RadioTower as these expenses are incurred and in advance of the final
disposition of the action, suit, or proceeding.
RadioTower may also purchase and maintain insurance or make other financial
arrangements for the benefit of any director or officer who is or was a director
or officer of RadioTower and such insurance may cover claims for which
RadioTower could not indemnify such director or officer. Currently, RadioTower
has not purchased any such insurance or made any such financial arrangements.
The Articles of RadioTower provide that no director or officer is personally
liable to RadioTower or its stockholders for damages for breach of fiduciary
duty as a director or officer.
The Nevada Private Corporations Act provides that RadioTower may indemnify its
directors and officers if the directors and officers acted in good faith and in
a manner the directors and officers believed to be in the best interest of
RadioTower and had no reasonable cause to believe the conduct was unlawful.
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of
1933 may be permitted to officers, directors or persons controlling RadioTower
pursuant to the foregoing, such indemnification may be against public policy as
expressed in the Securities Act of 1933, and would therefore be unenforceable.
Except as referred to above, no controlling person, director or officer of
RadioTower is insured or indemnified by any statute, charter provisions,
by-laws, contract or other arrangement.
PART F/S
The revised audited financial statements of RadioTower and related notes which
are included in this registration statement have been examined by Stark Tinter &

Notes to Financial Statements
Note 1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Organization
The Company was incorporated on May 5, 1998, in the State of Nevada as Magnum
Ventures Inc. On May 18, 1999 the Company changed its name to RadioTower.com,
Inc. The Company is in the development stage. During the period, the Company
purchased a domain asset, the domain name RadioTower.com, and will utilize the
website as its own internet portal which provides free online directories of
live radio stations.
Estimates
The preparation of the Company's financial statements in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles requires the Company's management to
make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in these
financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from
those estimates.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
For purposes of balance sheet classification and the statements of cash flows,
the Company considers all highly liquid investments purchased with an original
maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.
Financial Instruments
The carrying amounts for the company's cash and cash equivalents, accounts
payable and loans payable - stockholders approximate fair value.
Property and Equipment
Property and equipment are being depreciated by the straight-line method over
lives of five years. The depreciation methods are designed to expense the cost
of the assets over their estimated useful lives.
Research and Development Costs
Research and development costs are charged to operations when incurred and are
included in selling, general and administrative expenses. The amounts charged to
operations for the year ended December 31, 1999, the period May 5, 1998
(inception) to December 31, 1998 and the period May 5, 1998 (inception) to
December 31, 1999, were approximately $34,000, nil and $34,000, respectively.

<PAGE>
Foreign Currency Exchange and Translation
The functional currency of the Company is the U.S. dollar. The Company also has
a Canadian dollar bank account it uses for some operations. For reporting
purposes, the financial statements are presented in U.S. dollars in accordance
with Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 52, Foreign Currency
Translation. At the date a transaction is recognized, each asset, liability,
revenue, expense, gain, or loss arising from a transaction is measured and
recorded in the functional currency by use of the exchange rate in effect at
that date. At each balance sheet date, recorded balances that are denominated in
a currency other than the functional currency is adjusted to reflect the current
exchange rate. The Company does not use foreign exchange contracts, interest
rate swaps, or option contracts. Foreign currency transaction gains and losses,
which for the year ended December 31, 1999 and the period May 5, 1998
(inception) to December 31, 1999 were nil, are included in the results of
operations.
Intangibles
The domain asset represents the cost of a domain name acquired and is being
amortized using the straight-line method over five years. Amortization of the
domain asset expensed to operations for the year ended December 31, 1999 and the
period May 5, 1998 (inception) to December 31, 1999 was $10,833.
Product and website development costs incurred in developing the Company's
website are accounted for in accordance with SOP 98-1. Product and website
development costs include amounts incurred by the Company to develop, enhance,
manage, monitor and operate the Company's website. External direct costs of
materials and services consumed in developing or obtaining internal-use computer
software, payroll and payroll-related costs for employees who devote time
directly related to the internal-use computer software project, and interest
costs incurred while developing internal-use computer software are capitalized.
Product development costs, preliminary project and past implementation product
costs are expensed as incurred. Internal costs for upgrades and enhancements
that result in probable additional functionality are capitalized.
Net loss per common share
The Company follows Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 128,
"Earnings Per Share" ("SFAS No. 128"). Basic earnings per common share ("EPS")
calculations are determined by dividing net income by the weighted average
number of shares of common stock outstanding during the year. Diluted earnings
per common share calculations are determined by dividing net income by the
weighted average number of common shares and dilutive common share equivalents
outstanding. During the periods presented common stock equivalents were not
considered as their effect would be anti-dilutive.

<PAGE>
Comprehensive income
The Company follows Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 130,
"Reporting Comprehensive Income." SFAS 130 establishes standards for reporting
and displaying comprehensive income, its components and accumulated balances.
SFAS 130 is effective for periods beginning after December 15, 1997. The Company
adopted SFAS 130 in 1998.
Impairment of long-lived assets
The Company periodically reviews the carrying amount of property, plant and
equipment and its identifiable intangible assets to determine whether current
events or circumstances warrant adjustments to such carrying amounts. If an
impairment adjustment is deemed necessary, such loss is measured by the amount
that the carrying value of such assets exceeds their fair value. Considerable
management judgement is necessary to estimate the fair value of assets,
accordingly, actual results could vary significantly from such estimates. Assets
to be disposed of are carried at the lower of their financial statement carrying
amount or fair value less costs to sell. As of December 31, 1999, management
does not believe there is any impairment of the carrying amounts of assets.
Revenue Recognition
The Company's revenue is primarily related to advertising and electronic
commerce transaction revenues. Advertising revenues represent sales of online
advertising. Electronic commerce transaction revenues consist of referrals to an
advertiser's website where an individual may conduct an electronic commerce
transaction. The Company recognizes advertising revenues over the period the ads
are displayed on the website. The Company recognizes electronic commerce
transaction revenues (the referral fee only) upon notification from the
advertiser of revenues earned by the Company.
Advertising Costs
The cost of advertising is expensed as incurred. For the year ended December 31,
1999, the period May 5, 1998 (inception) to December 31, 1998 and the period May
5, 1998 (inception) to December 31, 1999, the Company incurred advertising
expense of $11,316, nil and $11,316, respectively, which is included in selling,
general and administrative expenses.

<PAGE>
Segment Information
Effective in 1999, the Company adopted SFAS No. 131, "Disclosures about Segments
of an Enterprise and Related Information." Certain information is disclosed, per
SFAS No. 131, based on the way management organizes financial information for
making operating decisions and assessing performance. The Company currently
operates in a single segment and will evaluate additional segment disclosure
requirements as it expands its operations.
Recent Pronouncements
The FASB recently issued Statement No 137, "Accounting for Derivative
Instruments and Hedging Activities-Deferral of Effective Date of FASB Statement
No. 133". The Statement defers for one year the effective date of FASB Statement
No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities". The
rule now will apply to all fiscal quarters of all fiscal years beginning after
June 15, 2000. In June 1998, the FASB issued SFAS No. 133, "Accounting for
Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities," which is required to be adopted
in years beginning after June 15, 1999. The Statement permits early adoption as
of the beginning of any fiscal quarter after its issuance. The Statement will
require the Company to recognize all derivatives on the balance sheet at fair
value. Derivatives that are not hedges must be adjusted to fair value through
income. If the derivative is a hedge, depending on the nature of the hedge,
changes in the fair value of derivatives will either be offset against the
change in fair value of the hedged assets, liabilities, or firm commitments
through earnings or recognized in other comprehensive income until the hedged
item is recognized in earnings. The ineffective portion of a derivative's change
in fair value will be immediately recognized in earnings. The Company has not
yet determined if it will early adopt and what the effect of SFAS No. 133 will
be on the earnings and financial position of the Company.
SOP 98-9, "Modification of SOP 97-2, Software Revenue Recognition, With Respect
to Certain Transactions" was issued in December 1998 and addresses software
revenue recognition as it applies to certain multiple-element arrangements. SOP
98-9 also amends SOP 98-4, "Deferral of the Effective Date of a Provision of SOP
97-2", to extend the deferral of application of certain passages of SOP 97-2
through fiscal years beginning on or before March 15, 1999. All other provisions
of SOP 98-9 are effective for transactions entered into in fiscal years
beginning after March 15, 1999. The Company will comply with the requirements of
this SOP as they become effective and this is not expected to have a material
effect on the Company's revenues and earnings.

at a fair value of $0.01 per share, which approximates the predecessor cost of
the asset. The Company has utilized the domain name for its own internet portal
which provides free online directories of live radio stations. This transaction
will be accounted for as the purchase of a domain asset. The Company will
conduct business under the name Radiotower.com.
The following is a summary of the domain asset as of December 31, 1999, less

Division, British Columbia. The agreement was made with an unrelated party. The
terms of the agreement required the Company to make an initial cash payment to

investment.

Note 7. INCOME TAXES
The Company accounts for income taxes under Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards No. 109 (FAS 109), `Accounting for Income Taxes", which requires use
of the liability method. FAS 109 provides that deferred tax assets and
liabilities are recorded based on the differences between the tax basis of
assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts for financial reporting
purposes, referred to as temporary differences. Deferred tax assets and
liabilities at the end of each period are determined using the currently enacted
tax rates applied to taxable income in the periods in which the deferred tax
assets and liabilities are expected to be settled or realized.

The provision for income taxes differs from the amount computed by applying the
statutory federal income tax rate to income before provision for income taxes.

benefit of these net operating and capital losses has been offset by a full
allowance for realization. This carryforward may be limited upon the
consummation of a business combination under IRC Section 381.
