PART I
ITEM 1. DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS.
Parade Holdings, Inc. (the "Company"), was incorporated on July 27, 1999,
under the laws of the State of Delaware. The Company was formed in order to seek
business opportunities and is currently a "blank check" company with no
commercial operations. To date its activities have been organizational in nature
and as a result it must be considered to be in its developmental stage. The
Company has no full time employees, owns no real estate and since inception has
been primarily concerned with developing its business plan and raising its
initial capital.
The Company is one of ten blank check companies created by Mark Elenowitz and
Louis Taubman, who are shareholders in all ten blank check companies. Each blank
check company has the same business plan. The Company and the other blank check
companies seek to find private companies that wish to become reporting
companies, with which to merge. Mr. Elenowitz and Mr. Taubman engage in the
business of creating public blank check companies and finding merger partners
for these blank check companies.
The Company's current business plan is to seek out business opportunities and
to pursue other related activities intended to enhance shareholder value.
Because the Company has no capital, it is unlikely that the Company will be able
to take advantage of more than one such business opportunity. The Company
intends to seek opportunities demonstrating the potential of long-term growth as
opposed to short-term earnings.
The Company currently intends to generate revenue for its shareholders
through the acquisition of stock of potential merger partners with whom the
blank check company may be merged. In addition to the revenue generated from
anticipated capital gains from the sale of such stock, Mr. Elenowitz and Mr.
Taubman also derive revenue indirectly from TM Capital Partners, LLC, the
majority shareholder in the blank check companies, which acts as a consultant to
companies seeking to merge with a public vehicle.
The acquisition of a business opportunity will probably be in the form of a
merger with a foreign or domestic private issuer that wishes to become a
reporting issuer. However, the Company is not limiting its search to such an
opportunity and as a result the business opportunity may also take the form of a
purchase, exchange of stock, or otherwise, and may encompass assets or a
business entity, such as a corporation, joint venture, or partnership.
Neither does the Company intend to restrict its search for business
opportunities to any particular geographical area or industry, and may,
therefore, engage in essentially any business, to the extent of its limited
resources. This includes industries such as service, finance, natural resources,
manufacturing, high technology, product
2
<PAGE>
development, medical, communications and others. The Company's discretion in the
selection of business opportunities is unrestricted, subject to the availability
of such opportunities, economic conditions, and other factors.
To date, the Company has not identified any business opportunity that it
plans to pursue, nor has the Company reached any agreement or definitive
understanding with any person concerning an acquisition. The Company is filing
this Form 10-SB on a voluntary basis in order to become a 12(g) registered
company under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. As a "reporting company," the
Company may be more attractive to a private acquisition target because it may be
listed to trade its shares on the OTCBB.
As a consequence of this registration of its securities, any entity which has
an interest in being acquired by, or merging into, the Company is expected to be
an entity that desires to become a public company and establish a public trading
market for its securities. There are various reasons why an entity would wish to
become a public company including (i) the ability to use registered securities
as currency in acquisitions of assets or businesses; (ii) increased visibility
in the financial community; (iii) the facilitation of borrowing from financial
institutions; (iv) increased liquidity to investors; (v) greater ease in
subsequently raising capital (vi) compensation of key employees through stock
options; (vii) enhanced corporate image; and (viii) a presence in the United
States capital markets.
Management believes that the business opportunity will likely be a business
entity with the goal of becoming a public company in order to use its securities
for the acquisition of assets or businesses; a company which is unable to find
an underwriter of its securities or is unable to find an underwriter of its
securities on terms acceptable to it; a company that wishes to become public
with less dilution of its common stock than would occur upon an underwriting; a
company that believes that it will be able to obtain investment capital on more
favorable terms after it has become public; or a foreign company that wishes to
make an initial entry into the United States securities market.
A business combination with a target company will normally involve the
transfer to the target company of the majority of the issued and outstanding
common stock of the Company, and the substitution by the target company of its
own management and board of directors.
The Company is unable to predict when it may participate in a business
opportunity. It expects, however, that the analysis of specific proposals and
the selection of a business opportunity may take several months or more. No
assurances can be given that the Company will be able to enter into a business
combination, as to the terms of a business combination, or as to the nature of
the target company.
In all probability, however, upon completion of an acquisition or merger,
there will be a change in control through issuance of substantially more shares
of common stock. Further, in conjunction with an acquisition or merger, it is
likely that management may
3
<PAGE>
offer to sell a controlling interest at a price not relative to or reflective of
any value of the shares sold by management, and at a price which could not be
achieved by individual shareholders at the time.
The Company is voluntarily filing this Registration Statement with the
Securities and Exchange Commission and is under no obligation to do so under the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934.
RISK FACTORS
The Company's business is subject to numerous risk factors, including the
following:
NO OPERATING HISTORY OR REVENUE AND MINIMAL ASSETS. The Company has had no
operating history nor any revenues or earnings from operations. The Company has
no significant assets or financial resources. The Company will, in all
likelihood, sustain operating expenses without corresponding revenues, at least
until the consummation of a business combination. This may result in the Company
incurring a net operating loss which will increase continuously until the
Company can consummate a business combination with a target company. There is no
assurance that the Company can identify such a target company and consummate
such a business combination.
SPECULATIVE NATURE OF THE COMPANY'S PROPOSED OPERATIONS. The success of the
Company's proposed plan of operation will depend to a great extent on the
operations, financial condition and management of the identified target company.
While management will prefer business combinations with entities having
established operating histories, there can be no assurance that the Company will
be successful in locating candidates meeting such criteria. In the event the
Company completes a business combination, of which there can be no assurance,
the success of the Company's operations will be dependent upon management of the
target company and numerous other factors beyond the Company's control.
SCARCITY OF AND COMPETITION FOR BUSINESS OPPORTUNITIES AND COMBINATIONS. The
Company is and will continue to be an insignificant participant in the business
of seeking mergers with and acquisitions of business entities. A large number of
established and well-financed entities, including venture capital firms, are
active in mergers and acquisitions of companies which may be merger or
acquisition target candidates for the Company. Nearly all such entities have
significantly greater financial resources, technical expertise and managerial
capabilities than the Company and, consequently, the Company will be at a
competitive disadvantage in identifying possible business opportunities and
successfully completing a business combination. Moreover, the Company will also
compete with numerous other small public companies in seeking merger or
acquisition candidates.
NO AGREEMENT FOR BUSINESS COMBINATION OR OTHER TRANSACTION--NO STANDARDS FOR
BUSINESS COMBINATION. The Company has no current arrangement, agreement or
understanding with respect to
4
<PAGE>
engaging in a merger with or acquisition of a specific business entity. There
can be no assurance that the Company will be successful in identifying and
evaluating suitable business opportunities or in concluding a business
combination. Management has not identified any particular industry or specific
business within an industry for evaluation by the Company. There is no assurance
that the Company will be able to negotiate a business combination on terms
favorable to the Company. The Company has not established a specific length of
operating history or a specified level of earnings, assets, net worth or other
criteria which it will require a target company to have achieved, or without
which the Company would not consider a business combination with such business
entity. Accordingly, the Company may enter into a business combination with a
business entity having no significant operating history, losses, limited or no
potential for immediate earnings, limited assets, negative net worth or other
negative characteristics.
CONTINUED MANAGEMENT CONTROL, LIMITED TIME AVAILABILITY. While seeking a
business combination, management anticipates devoting only a limited amount of
time per month to the business of the Company. The Company's officers have not
entered into a written employment agreement with the Company and they are not
expected to do so in the foreseeable future. The Company has not obtained key
man life insurance on its officers and directors. Notwithstanding the combined
limited experience and time commitment of management, loss of the services of
these individuals would adversely affect development of the Company's business
and its likelihood of continuing operations.
CONFLICTS OF INTEREST--GENERAL. Certain conflicts of interest may exist
between the Company and its officers and directors. They have other business
interests to which they devote their attention, and may be expected to continue
to do so although management time should be devoted to the business of the
Company. As a result, conflicts of interest may arise that can be resolved only
through exercise of such judgment as is consistent with fiduciary duties to the
Company. See "Management," and "Conflicts of Interest."
Mark Elenowitz and Louis Taubman have created and are beneficial owners of
ten blank check companies. It is presumed that these blank check companies will
be sold in chronological order by date of incorporation. However, a target
company may be more suited or prefer a certain blank check company formed
subsequent to the Company. Thus, Mark Elenowitz and Louis Taubman may attempt to
merge a target company with one of their blank check companies incorporated
subsequent to the Company, regardless of chronological order. Mark Elenowitz and
Louis Taubman will profit if any of the blank check companies are merged,
regardless of chronological order of incorporation. Thus, finding a target
company to merge with this Company may not necessarily be a priority for Mark
Elenowitz and Louis Taubman who will gain financially if any of the blank check
companies are sold.
Mark Elenowitz and Louis Taubman will each receive stock, indirectly and
directly as a result of any merger that occurs. In addition, Mr. Elenowitz, Mr.
Taubman and their
5
<PAGE>
other partners may also receive cash as a result of any consulting agreement
between TM Capital Partners, LLC and any potential merger candidates.
REPORTING REQUIREMENTS MAY DELAY OR PRECLUDE ACQUISITION. Section 13 of
the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the "Exchange Act") requires companies
subject thereto to provide certain information about significant acquisitions
including certified financial statements for the company acquired covering one
or two years, depending on the relative size of the acquisition. The time and
additional costs that may be incurred by some target companies to prepare such
financial statements may significantly delay or essentially preclude
consummation of an otherwise desirable acquisition by the Company. Acquisition
prospects that do not have or are unable to obtain the required audited
statements may not be appropriate for acquisition so long as the reporting
requirements of the Exchange Act are applicable.
LACK OF MARKET RESEARCH OR MARKETING ORGANIZATION. The Company has neither
conducted, nor have others made available to it, market research indicating that
demand exists for the transactions contemplated by the Company. Even in the
event demand exists for a merger or acquisition of the type contemplated by the
Company, there is no assurance the Company will be successful in completing any
such business combination.
LACK OF DIVERSIFICATION. The Company's proposed operations, even if
successful, will in all likelihood result in the Company engaging in a business
combination with only one business entity. Consequently, the Company's
activities will be limited to those engaged in by the business entity that the
Company merges with or acquires. The Company's inability to diversify its
activities into a number of areas may subject the Company to economic
fluctuations within a particular business or industry and therefore increase the
risks associated with the Company's operations.
REGULATION UNDER INVESTMENT COMPANY ACT. Although the Company will be
subject to regulation under the Exchange Act, management believes the Company
will not be subject to regulation under the Investment Company Act of 1940,
insofar as the Company will not be engaged in the business of investing or
trading in securities. In the event the Company engages in business combinations
which result in the Company holding passive investment interests in a number of
entities, the Company could be subject to regulation under the Investment
Company Act of 1940. In such event, the Company would be required to register as
an investment company and could be expected to incur significant registration
and compliance costs. The Company has obtained no formal determination from the
Securities and Exchange Commission as to the status of the Company under the
Investment Company Act of 1940 and, consequently, any violation of such Act
could subject the Company to material adverse consequences.
PROBABLE CHANGE IN CONTROL AND MANAGEMENT. A business combination involving
the issuance of the Company's common stock will, in all likelihood, result in
shareholders of a target company obtaining a controlling interest in
6
<PAGE>
the Company. Any such business combination may require shareholders of the
Company to sell or transfer all or a portion of the Company's common stock held
by them. The resulting change in control of the Company will likely result in
removal of the present officers and directors of the Company and a corresponding
reduction in or elimination of their participation in the future affairs of the
Company.
REGULATION OF PENNY STOCKS. The Company's securities, when available for
trading, will be subject to a Securities and Exchange Commission rule that
imposes special sales practice requirements upon broker-dealers who sell such
securities to persons other than established customers or accredited investors.
For purposes of the rule, the phrase "accredited investors" means, in general
terms, institutions with assets in excess of $5,000,000, or individuals having a
net worth in excess of $1,000,000 or having an annual income that exceeds
$200,000 (or that, when combined with a spouse's income, exceeds $300,000). For
transactions covered by the rule, the broker-dealer must make a special
suitability determination for the purchaser and receive the purchaser's written
agreement to the transaction prior to the sale. Consequently, the rule may
affect the ability of broker-dealers to sell the Company's securities and also
may affect the ability of purchasers in this offering to sell their securities
in any market that might develop therefore.
In addition, the Securities and Exchange Commission has adopted a number of
rules to regulate "penny stocks." Such rules include Rules 3a51-1, 15g-1, 15g-2,
15g-3, 15g-4, 15g-5, 15g-6, 15g-7, and 15g-9 under the Securities Exchange Act
of 1934, as amended. Because the securities of the Company may constitute "penny
stocks" within the meaning of the rules, the rules would apply to the Company
and to its securities. The rules may further affect the ability of owners of
Shares to sell the securities of the Company in any market that might develop
for them.
Shareholders should be aware that the market for penny stocks has suffered in
recent years from patterns of fraud and abuse (see www.sec.gov; Press Releases:
"SEC Proposes Several Measures to Combat Securities Fraud, and Issues Status
Report on Commission-wide Microcap Fraud Efforts"). Such patterns include (i)
control of the market for the security by one or a few broker-dealers that are
often related to the promoter or issuer; (ii) manipulation of prices through
prearranged matching of purchases and sales and false and misleading press
releases; (iii) "boiler room" practices involving high-pressure sales tactics
and unrealistic price projections by inexperienced sales persons; (iv) excessive
and undisclosed bid-ask differentials and markups by selling broker-dealers; and
(v) the wholesale dumping of the same securities by promoters and broker-dealers
after prices have been manipulated to a desired level, along with the resulting
inevitable collapse of those prices and with consequent investor losses. The
Company's management is aware of the abuses that have occurred historically in
the penny stock market. Although the Company does not expect to be in a position
to dictate the behavior of the market or of broker-dealers who participate in
the market, management will strive within the confines of practical limitations
to prevent the described patterns from being established with respect to the
Company's securities.

TAXATION. Federal and state tax consequences will, in all likelihood, be
major considerations in any business combination the Company may undertake.
Currently, such transactions may be structured so as to result in tax-free
treatment to both companies, pursuant to various federal and state tax
provisions. The Company intends to structure any business combination so as to
minimize the federal and state tax consequences to both the Company and the
target company; however, there can be no assurance that such business
combination will meet the statutory requirements of a tax-free reorganization or
that the parties will obtain the intended tax-free treatment upon a transfer of
stock or assets. A non-qualifying reorganization could result in the imposition
of both federal and state taxes that may have an adverse effect on both parties
to the transaction.
NO PUBLIC MARKET EXISTS. There is no public market for the Company's Common
stock, and no assurance can be given that a market will develop or that a
shareholder ever will be able to liquidate his investment without considerable
delay, if at all. If a market should develop, the price may be highly volatile.
Factors such as those discussed in this "Risk Factors" section may have a
significant impact upon the market price of the securities offered hereby. Owing
to the low price of the securities, many brokerage firms may not be willing to
effect transactions in the securities. Even if a purchaser finds a broker
willing to effect a transaction in these securities, the combination of
brokerage commissions, state transfer taxes, if any, and any other selling costs
may exceed the selling price. Further, many lending institutions will not permit
the use of such securities as collateral for any loans.
RULE 144 SALES. All of the outstanding shares of Common Stock held by present
officers, directors, and stockholders are "restricted securities" within the
meaning of Rule 144 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. As restricted
shares, these shares may be resold only pursuant to an effective registration
statement or under the requirements of Rule 144 or other applicable exemptions
from registration under the Act and as required under applicable state
securities laws. Rule 144 provides in essence that a person who has held
restricted securities for one year may, under certain conditions, sell every
three months, in brokerage transactions, a number of shares that does not exceed
the greater of 1.0% of a company's outstanding common stock or the average
weekly trading volume during the four calendar weeks prior to the sale. There is
no limit on the amount of restricted securities that may be sold by a
nonaffiliate after the restricted securities have been held by the owner for a
period of two years. A sale under Rule 144 or under any other exemption from the
Act, if available, or pursuant to subsequent registration of shares of Common
Stock of present stockholders, may have a depressive effect upon the price of
the Common Stock in any market that may develop.
BLUE SKY RESTRICTIONS. Many states have enacted statutes or rules that
restrict or prohibit the sale of securities of "blank check" companies to
residents so long as they remain without specific business plans. To the extent
any current shareholders or subsequent purchaser from a shareholder may reside
in a state that restricts or prohibits resale of shares in a "blank check"
company, warning is hereby given that the shares may be "restricted" from resale
as long as the company is a blank check company.
8
<PAGE>
At the date of this registration statement, the Company has no intention of
offering further shares in a private offering to anyone. Further, the policy of
the Board of Directors is that any future offering of shares will only be made
after an acquisition has been made and can be disclosed in appropriate 8-K
filings.
In the event of a violation of state laws regarding resale of "blank check"
shares the Company could be liable for civil and criminal penalties which would
be a substantial impairment to the Company. At date of this registration
statement, all shareholders' shares bear a "restrictive legend," and the Company
will examine each shareholders' resident state laws at the time of any proposed
resale of shares now outstanding to attempt to avoid any inadvertent breach of
state laws.
ITEM 2. PLAN OF OPERATION
The Company intends to merge with or acquire a business entity in exchange
for the Company's securities. The Company has no particular acquisition in mind
and has not entered into any negotiations regarding such an acquisition. Neither
the Company's officers and directors nor any affiliate have engaged in any
negotiations with any representative of any company regarding the possibility of
an acquisition or merger between the Company and such other company.
Management anticipates seeking out a target company through solicitation.
Such solicitation may include newspaper or magazine advertisements, mailings and
other distributions to law firms, accounting firms, investment bankers,
financial advisors and similar persons, the use of one or more World Wide Web
sites and similar methods. No estimate can be made as to the number of persons
who will be contacted or solicited. Management may engage in such solicitation
directly or may employ one or more other entities to conduct or assist in such
solicitation. Management and its affiliates pay referral fees to consultants and
others who refer target businesses for mergers into public companies in which
management and its affiliates have an interest. Payments are made if a business
combination occurs, and may consist of cash or a portion of the stock in the
Company retained by management and its affiliates, or both. In the past a cash
referral fee was paid to a finder in relation to the Solomon Alliance Group,
Inc. and Madison Holdings, Inc. business combination.
The Company has no full time employees. The Company's officers have agreed to
allocate a portion of their time to the activities of the Company, without
compensation. The officers anticipate that the business plan of the Company can
be implemented by their devoting no more than 10 hours each per month to the
business affairs of the Company and, consequently, conflicts of interest may
arise with respect to the limited time commitment by such officer.
Management is currently involved with other blank check companies, and is
involved in creating additional blank check companies similar to this one. A
conflict may arise in
9
<PAGE>
the event that another blank check company with which management is affiliated
is formed and actively seeks a target company. Management anticipates that
target companies will be located for the Company and other blank check companies
in chronological order of the date of incorporation of such blank check
companies or by lot. However, other blank check companies that may be formed may
differ from the Company in certain items such as place of incorporation, number
of shares and shareholders, working capital, types of authorized securities, or
other items. It may be that a target company may be more suitable for or may
prefer a certain blank check company formed after the Company. In such case, a
business combination might be negotiated on behalf of the more suitable or
preferred blank check company regardless of date of formation or choice by lot.
To Date, Management has successfully completed business combinations, in the
form of share exchanges, between three target companies and three of their blank
check companies in chronological order by date of incorporation of the blank
check companies.
The Certificate of Incorporation of the Company provides that the Company may
indemnify officers and/or directors of the Company for liabilities, which can
include liabilities arising under the securities laws. Therefore, assets of the
Company could be used or attached to satisfy any liabilities subject to such
indemnification.
GENERAL BUSINESS PLAN
The Company's purpose is to seek, investigate and, if such investigation
warrants, acquire an interest in a business entity which desires to seek the
perceived advantages of a corporation which has a class of securities registered
under the Exchange Act. The Company will not restrict its search to any specific
business, industry, or geographical location and the Company may participate in
a business venture of virtually any kind or nature. Management anticipates that
it will be able to participate in only one potential business venture because
the Company has nominal assets and limited financial resources. See item F/S,
"Financial Statements." This lack of diversification should be considered a
substantial risk to the shareholders of the Company because it will not permit
the Company to offset potential losses from one venture against gains from
another.
The Company may seek a business opportunity with entities which have recently
commenced operations, or which 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. The Company
may acquire assets and establish wholly-owned subsidiaries in various businesses
or acquire existing businesses as subsidiaries.
The Company anticipates that the selection of a business opportunity in which
to participate will be complex and extremely risky. Management believes (but has
not conducted any research to confirm) that there are business entities seeking
the perceived benefits of a publicly registered corporation. Such perceived
benefits may include facilitating or improving the terms on which additional
equity financing may be sought,
10
<PAGE>
providing liquidity for incentive stock options or similar benefits to key
employees, increasing the opportunity to use securities for acquisitions,
providing liquidity for shareholders and other factors. Business opportunities
may be available in many different industries and at various stages of
development, all of which will make the task of comparative investigation and
analysis of such business opportunities difficult and complex.
The Company has, and will continue to have, no capital with which to provide
the owners of business entities with any cash or other assets. However,
management believes the Company will be able to offer owners of acquisition
candidates the opportunity to acquire a controlling ownership interest in a
public company without incurring the cost and time required to conduct an
initial public offering. Management has not conducted market research and is not
aware of statistical data to support the perceived benefits of a merger or
acquisition transaction for the owners of a business opportunity.
The analysis of new business opportunities will be undertaken by, or under
the supervision of, the officers and directors of the Company, who are not
professional business analysts. In analyzing prospective business opportunities,
management will consider such matters as 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 which 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
then may be anticipated to impact the proposed activities of the Company; the
potential for growth or expansion; the potential for profit; the perceived
public recognition or acceptance of products, services, or trades; name
identification; and other relevant factors. This discussion of the proposed
criteria is not meant to be restrictive of the Company's virtually unlimited
discretion to search for and enter into potential business opportunities.
The Exchange Act requires that any merger or acquisition candidate comply
with certain reporting requirements, which include providing audited financial
statements to be included in the reporting filings made under the Exchange Act.
The Company will not acquire or merge with any company for which audited
financial statements cannot be obtained at or within a reasonable period of time
after closing of the proposed transaction.
The Company may enter into a business combination with a business entity that
desires to establish a public trading market for its shares. A target company
may attempt to avoid what it deems to be adverse consequences of undertaking its
own public offering by seeking a business combination with the Company. Such
consequences may include, but are not limited to, time delays of the
registration process, significant expenses to be incurred in such an offering,
loss of voting control to public shareholders or the inability to obtain an
underwriter or to obtain an underwriter on satisfactory terms.
11
<PAGE>
The Company will not restrict its search for any specific kind of business
entity, but may acquire a venture which is in its preliminary or development
stage, which is already in operation, or in essentially any stage of its
business life. It is impossible to predict at this time the status of any
business in which the Company may become engaged, in that such business may need
to seek additional capital, may desire to have its shares publicly traded, or
may seek other perceived advantages which the Company may offer.
Management of the Company, which in all likelihood will not be experienced in
matters relating to the business of a target company, will rely upon its own
efforts in accomplishing the business purposes of the Company. Outside
consultants or advisors may be utilized by the Company to assist in the search
for qualified target companies. If the Company does retain such an outside
consultant or advisor, any cash fee earned by such person will need to be
assumed by the target company, as the Company has limited cash assets with which
to pay such obligation.
Following a business combination the Company may benefit from the services of
others in regard to accounting, legal services, underwritings and corporate
public relations. If requested by a target company, management may recommend one
or more underwriters, financial advisors, accountants, public relations firms or
other consultants to provide such services.
A potential target company may have an agreement with a consultant or advisor
providing that the services of the consultant or advisor be continued after any
business combination. Additionally, a target company may be presented to the
Company only on the condition that the services of a consultant or advisor be
continued after a merger or acquisition. Such preexisting agreements of target
companies for the continuation of the services of attorneys, accountants,
advisors or consultants could be a factor in the selection of a target company.
ACQUISITION OF OPPORTUNITIES
In implementing a structure for a particular business acquisition, the
Company may become a party to a merger, consolidation, reorganization, joint
venture, or licensing agreement with another corporation or entity. It may also
acquire stock or assets of an existing business. On the consummation of a
transaction, it is likely that the present management and shareholders of the
Company will no longer be in control of the Company. In addition, it is likely
that the Company's officers and directors will, as part of the terms of the
acquisition transaction, resign and be replaced by one or more new officers and
directors.
It is anticipated that any securities issued in any such reorganization would
be issued in reliance upon exemption from registration under applicable federal
and state securities laws. In some circumstances, however, as a negotiated
element of its transaction, the Company may agree to register all or a part of
such securities immediately after the transaction is consummated or at specified
times thereafter. If such registration occurs, of which there can be no
assurance, it will be undertaken by the surviving entity after the
12
<PAGE>
Company has entered into an agreement for a business combination or has
consummated a business combination and the Company is no longer considered a
blank check company. Until such time as this occurs, the Company will not
register any additional securities. The issuance of additional securities and
their potential sale into any trading market which may develop in the Company's
securities may depress the market value of the Company's securities in the
future if such a market develops, of which there is no assurance.
While the terms of a business transaction to which the Company may be a party
cannot be predicted, it is expected that the parties to the business transaction
will desire to avoid the creation of a taxable event and thereby structure the
acquisition in a "tax-free" reorganization under Sections 351 or 368 of the
Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code").
With respect to any merger or acquisition negotiations with a target company,
management expects to focus on the percentage of the Company which target
company shareholders would acquire in exchange for their shareholdings in the
target company. Depending upon, among other things, the target company's assets
and liabilities, the Company's shareholders will in all likelihood hold a
substantially lesser percentage ownership interest in the Company following any
merger or acquisition. The percentage of ownership may be subject to significant
reduction in the event the Company acquires a target company with substantial
assets. Any merger or acquisition effected by the Company can be expected to
have a significant dilutive effect on the percentage of shares held by the
Company's shareholders at such time.
The Company will participate in a business opportunity only after the
negotiation and execution of appropriate agreements. Although the terms of such
agreements cannot be predicted, generally such agreements will require certain
representations and warranties of the parties thereto, will specify certain
events of default, will detail the terms of closing and the conditions which
must be satisfied by the parties prior to and after such closing, will outline
the manner of bearing costs, including costs associated with the Company's
attorneys and accountants, and will include miscellaneous other terms.
The Company will not acquire or merge with any entity that cannot provide
audited financial statements at or within a reasonable period of time after
closing of the proposed transaction. The Company is subject to all of the
reporting requirements included in the Exchange Act. Included in these
requirements is the duty of the Company to file audited financial statements as
part of or within 60 days following its Form 8-K to be filed with the Securities
and Exchange Commission upon consummation of a merger or acquisition, as well as
the Company's audited financial statements included in its annual report on Form
10-K (or 10-KSB, as applicable). If such audited financial statements are not
available at closing, or within time parameters necessary to insure the
Company's compliance with the requirements of the Exchange Act, or if the
audited financial statements provided do not conform to the representations made
by the target company, the closing documents may provide that the proposed
transaction will be voidable at the discretion of the present management of the
Company.

TM Capital Partners, L.L.C., the principal shareholder of the Company, has
informally agreed that it will advance to the Company any additional funds which
the Company needs for operating capital and for costs in connection with
searching for or completing an acquisition or merger. Such advances will be made
without expectation of repayment unless the owners of the business which the
Company acquires or merges with agree to repay all or a portion of such
advances. There is no minimum or maximum amount TM Capital Partners, L.L.C. will
advance to the Company. The Company will not borrow any funds to make any
payments to the Company's promoters, management or their affiliates or
associates.
The Board of Directors has passed a resolution which contains a policy that
the Company will not seek an acquisition or merger with any entity in which the
Company's officers, directors, and shareholders or any affiliate or associate
serves as an officer or director or holds any ownership interest.
COMPETITION
The Company expects to encounter substantial competition in its efforts to
locate attractive business opportunities, primarily from business development
companies, venture capital partnerships and corporations, venture capital
affiliates of large industrial and financial companies, small investment
companies, and wealthy individuals. Many of these entities have significantly
greater financial and personnel resources and technical expertise than the
Company. The Company may also experience competition from other public "blank
check" companies, some of which may have more funds available than the Company.
As a result of the Company's combined extremely limited financial resources and
limited management availability, the Company will continue to be at a
significant competitive disadvantage compared to the Company's competitors.
ITEM 3. DESCRIPTION OF PROPERTY
The Company has no property. The Company does not currently maintain an
office or any other facilities. It does currently maintain a mailing address at
39 Broadway, Suite 2250, which is the office address of its Secretary, Louis
Taubman. The Company pays no rent for the use of this mailing address. The
Company does not believe that it will need to maintain an office at any time in
the foreseeable future in order to carry out its plan of operations described
herein.
ITEM 4. SECURITY OWNERSHIP OF CERTAIN BENEFICIAL OWNERS AND MANAGEMENT.
The following table sets forth, as of the date of this registration
statement, each person known by the Company to be the beneficial owner of five

Capital provides services for such persons, particularly in regard to locating
private companies that may wish to go public, and acts as an initial shareholder
in certain companies formed by such parties. Since TM Capital has fewer than 100
shareholders and is not making and does not intend to make a public offering of
its securities, management believes that it is not deemed to be an investment
company by virtue of an exemption provided under the Investment Company Act of
1940, as amended.
ITEM 5. DIRECTORS, EXECUTIVE OFFICERS, PROMOTERS AND CONTROL PERSONS.
The Company has two Directors and two Officers as follows:

CURRENT BLANK CHECK COMPANIES
Mr. Elenowitz, as president and a director of the Company, and Mr. Taubman,
as secretary and a director of the Company, are currently involved with other
blank check companies, and are involved in creating additional companies similar
to this one. The initial business purpose of each of these companies was or is
to engage in a business combination with an unidentified company or companies
and each were or will be classified as a blank check company until completion of
a business combination.
16
<PAGE>
Generally target companies will be located for the Company and other
identical blank check companies in chronological order of the date of formation
of such blank check companies or, in the case of blank check companies formed on
the same date, alphabetically. However, certain blank check companies may differ
from the Company in certain items such as place of incorporation, number of
shares and shareholders, working capital, types of authorized securities,
preference of a certain blank check company name by management of the target
company, or other items. It may be that a target company may be more suitable
for or may prefer a certain blank check company formed after the Company. In
such case, a business combination might be negotiated on behalf of the more
suitable or preferred blank check company regardless of date of formation.
The following chart summarizes certain information concerning recent blank
check companies with which Mr. Elenowitz and Mr. Taubman are or have been
involved, which have filed or will be filing a registration statement on Form
10-SB. In most instances that a business combination is transacted with one of
these companies, it is required to file a Current Report on Form 8-K describing
the transaction. Reference is made to the Form 8-K filed for any company listed
below for detailed information concerning the business combination entered into
by that company.

CONFLICTS OF INTEREST
The Company's officers and directors have organized nine other blank check
companies, and expect to organize other companies of a similar nature and with a
similar purpose as the Company. Consequently, there are potential inherent
conflicts of interest in acting as an officer and director of the Company.
Insofar as the officers and directors are engaged in other business activities,
management anticipates that it will devote only a minor amount of time to the
Company's affairs. The Company does not have a right of first refusal pertaining
to opportunities that come to management's attention insofar as such
opportunities may relate to the Company's proposed business operations.
A conflict may arise in the event that another blank check company with which
management is affiliated is formed and actively seeks a target company. It is
anticipated that target companies will be located for the Company and other
blank check companies
20
<PAGE>
in chronological order of the date of incorporation of such blank check
companies or by lot. However, any blank check companies that may be formed may
differ from the Company in certain items such as place of incorporation, number
of shares and shareholders, working capital, types of authorized securities, or
other items. It may be that a target company may be more suitable for or may
prefer a certain blank check company formed after the Company. In such case, a
business combination might be negotiated on behalf of the more suitable or
preferred blank check company regardless of date of incorporation or choice by
lot. As such, Mr. Elenowitz and Mr. Taubman may, at the time of a merger
negotiation with a target company, be more inclined to enter into a business
combination involving another blank check companies regardless of chronological
order of the date of incorporation.
Management are principals of other businesses with operations which require
greater time commitments than the Company. As such, demands may be placed on the
time of Management that will detract from the amount of time they are able to
devote to the Company. Management intends to devote as much time to the
activities of the Company as required. However, should such a conflict arise,
there is no assurance that Management would not attend to other matters prior to
those of the Company. Management projects that initially up to ten hours each
per month of their time may be spent locating a target company which amount of
time would increase when the analysis of, and negotiations and consummation
with, a target company are conducted.
In addition to the foregoing, Louis Taubman, the Company's secretary and
director, is a partner in the law firm of Kogan Taubman & Neville, LLC, the
Company's current attorneys. In addition, other partners of Kogan Taubman &
Neville, LLC hold an indirect interest in TM Capital Partners, LLC, the
Company's majority shareholder.
No other securities, or rights to securities, of the Company will be issued
to management or promoters, or their affiliates or associates, prior to the
completion of a business combination. At the time of a business combination,
management expects that some or all of the shares of Common Stock owned by TM
Capital Partners, L.L.C, Mark Elenowitz and Louis Taubman will be purchased by
the target company. The amount of Common Stock sold or continued to be owned by
such parties cannot be determined at this time.
The terms of a business combination may include such terms as some or all of
the current officers or directors remaining as directors or officers of the
Company and/or the continuing services or other legal work of the Company being
handled by the law firm of which Mr. Taubman is a principal. Additionally, the
terms of a business combination may provide for a payment by cash or otherwise
(i.e. stock of the target company) to TM Capital Partners, L.L.C. or the
officers or directors of the Company for the purchase of all or part of their
common stock of the Company by a target company. Certain of the Company's
principals would directly benefit from such employment or payments. Such
benefits may influence Management's choice of a target company.
21
<PAGE>
The Company may agree to pay finder's fees, as appropriate and allowed, to
unaffiliated persons who may bring a target company to the Company where that
reference results in a business combination. The amount of any finder's fee will
be subject to negotiation, and cannot be estimated at this time. No finder's fee
of any kind will be paid to management or promoters of the Company or to their
associates or affiliates. No loans of any type have, or will be, made to
management or promoters of the Company or to any of their associates or
affiliates.
The Company's officers and directors, and their affiliates or associates have
not had any negotiations with and there are no present arrangements or
understandings with any representatives of the owners of any business or company
regarding the possibility of a business combination with the Company.
The Company will not enter into a business combination, or acquire any assets
of any kind for its securities, in which management or promoters of the Company
or any affiliates or associates have any interest, direct or indirect.
Management has adopted certain policies involving possible conflicts of
interest, including prohibiting any of the following transactions involving
management, promoters, shareholders or their affiliates:
(i) Any lending by the Company to such persons;
(ii) The issuance of any additional securities to such persons prior to a
business combination;
(iii) The entering into any business combination or acquisition of assets in
which such persons have any interest, direct or indirect; or
(iv) The payment of any finder's fees to such persons.
These policies have been adopted by the Board of Directors of the Company,
and any changes in these provisions require the approval of the Board of
Directors. Management does not intend to propose any such action and does not
anticipate that any such action will occur.
Other than the policies listed above, there are no binding guidelines or
procedures for resolving potential conflicts of interest. Failure by management
to resolve conflicts of interest in favor of the Company could result in
liability of management to the Company. However, any attempt by shareholders to
enforce a liability of management to the Company would most likely be
prohibitively expensive and time consuming.

<PAGE>
INVESTMENT COMPANY ACT OF 1940
Although the Company may participate in a business opportunity by purchasing,
trading or selling the securities of such business, the Company does not intend
to engage primarily in such activities. Specifically, the Company intends to
conduct its activities so as to avoid being classified as an "investment
company" under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the "Investment Act"), and
therefore to avoid application of the costly and restrictive registration and
other provisions of the Investment Act, and the regulations promulgated
thereunder. In the event, however, that the Company engages in business
combinations which result in the Company holding passive investment interests in
a number of entities the Company could be subject to regulation under the
Investment Company Act of 1940. In such event, the Company would be required to
register as an investment company and could be expected to incur significant
registration and compliance costs. The Company has obtained no formal
determination from the Securities and Exchange Commission as to the status of
the Company under the Investment Company Act of 1940. Any violation of such Act
would subject the Company to material adverse consequences.
ITEM 6. EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION.
The Company's officers and directors do not receive any compensation for
their services rendered to the Company, have not received such compensation in
the past, and are not accruing any compensation pursuant to any agreement with
the Company.
The officers and directors of the Company will not receive any finder's fee,
either directly or indirectly, as a result of their efforts to implement the
Company's business plan outlined herein. However, the officers and directors of
the Company anticipate receiving benefits as beneficial shareholders of the
Company. See "Item 4. Security Ownership of Certain Beneficial Owners and
Management."
No retirement, pension, profit sharing, stock option or insurance programs or
other similar programs have been adopted by the Company for the benefit of its
employees.
ITEM 7. CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS.
The Company has issued a total of 5,000,000 shares of Common Stock to the
following persons for a total of $725 in cash:
<TABLE>

(1) TM Capital Partners, LLC is owned by MHE, Inc., which is wholly-owned by
Mark Elenowitz; and by KT Ventures, LLC, which is owned by Louis Taubman, Simon
Kogan and Brian Neville.
The proposed business activities described herein classify the Company as a
blank check company. See "Glossary". The Securities and Exchange Commission and
many states have enacted statutes, rules and regulations limiting the sale of
securities of blank check companies. Management does not intend to undertake any
efforts to cause a market to develop in the Company's securities until such time
as the Company has successfully implemented its business plan described herein.
Accordingly, the shareholders of the Company have executed and delivered a
"lock-up" letter agreement, affirming that such shareholders shall not sell
their shares of the Company's common stock except in connection with or
following completion of a merger or acquisition resulting in the Company no
longer being classified as a blank check company. The shareholders have
deposited their stock certificates with the Company's management, and will not
release the certificates except in connection with or following the completion
of a merger or acquisition.
ITEM 8. DESCRIPTION OF SECURITIES.
The authorized capital stock of the Company consists of 120,000,000 shares of
Common Stock, par value $.0001 per share. The following statements relating to
the capital stock are summaries and do not purport to be complete. Reference is
made to the more detailed provisions of, and such statements are qualified in
their entirety by reference to, the Certificate of Incorporation and the
By-laws, copies of which are filed as exhibits to this registration statement.

dividends, if any, will be within the discretion of the Company's Board of
Directors. The Company presently intends to retain all earnings, if any, for use
in its business operations and accordingly, the Board of Directors does not
anticipate declaring any dividends prior to a business combination.

PART II
ITEM 1. MARKET PRICE FOR COMMON EQUITY AND RELATED STOCKHOLDER MATTERS.
(A) MARKET PRICE. There is no trading market for the Company's Common Stock
at present and there has been no trading market to date. There is no assurance
that a trading market will ever develop or, if such a market does develop, that
it will continue.
The Securities and Exchange Commission has adopted Rule 15g-9 which
establishes the definition of a "penny stock," for purposes relevant to the
Company, as any equity security that has a market price of less than $5.00 per
share or with an exercise price of less than $5.00 per share, subject to certain
exceptions. For any transaction involving a penny stock, unless exempt, the
rules require: (i) that a broker or dealer approve a person's account for
transactions in penny stocks and (ii) the broker or dealer receive from the
investor a written agreement to the transaction, setting forth the identity and
quantity of the penny stock to be purchased. In order to approve a person's
account for transactions in penny stocks, the broker or dealer must (i) obtain
financial information and investment experience and objectives of the person;
and (ii) make a reasonable determination that the transactions in penny stocks
are suitable for that person and that person has sufficient knowledge and
experience in financial matters to be capable of evaluating the risks of
transactions in penny stocks. The broker or dealer must also deliver, prior to
any transaction in a penny stock, a disclosure schedule prepared by the
Commission relating to the penny stock market, which, in highlight form, (i)
sets forth the basis on which the broker or dealer made the suitability
determination and (ii) that the broker or dealer received a signed, written
agreement from the investor prior to the transaction. Disclosure also has to be
made about the risks of investing in penny stocks in both public offerings and
in secondary trading, and about commissions payable to both the broker-dealer
and the registered representative, current quotations for the securities and the
rights and remedies available to an investor in cases of fraud in penny stock
transactions. Finally, monthly statements have to be sent disclosing recent
price information for the penny stock held in the account and information on the
limited market in penny stocks.
In order to qualify for listing on the Nasdaq SmallCap Market, a company must
have at least (i) net tangible assets of $4,000,000 or market capitalization of
$50,000,000 or net income for two of the last three years of $750,000; (ii)
public float of 1,000,000 shares with a market value of $5,000,000; (iii) a bid
price of $4.00; (iv) three market makers; (v) 300 shareholders and (vi) an
operating history of one year or, if less than one year, $50,000,000 in market
capitalization. For continued listing on the Nasdaq SmallCap Market, a company
must have at least (i) net tangible assets of $2,000,000 or market
capitalization of $35,000,000 or net income for two of the last three years of
$500,000; (ii) a public float of 500,000 shares with a market value of
$1,000,000; (iii) a bid price of $1.00; (iv) two market makers; and (v) 300
shareholders.
26
<PAGE>
If, after a merger or acquisition, the Company does not meet the
qualifications for listing on the Nasdaq SmallCap Market, the Company's
securities may be traded in the over-the-counter ("OTC") market. The OTC market
differs from national and regional stock exchanges in that it (1) is not sited
in a single location but operates through communication of bids, offers and
confirmations between broker-dealers and (2) securities admitted to quotation
are offered by one or more broker-dealers rather than the "specialist" common to
stock exchanges. The Company may apply for listing on the NASD OTC Bulletin
Board or may offer its securities in what are commonly referred to as the "pink
sheets" of the National Quotation Bureau, Inc. To qualify for listing on the
NASD OTC Bulletin Board, an equity security must have one registered
broker-dealer, known as the market maker, willing to list bid or sale quotations
and to sponsor the company for listing on the Bulletin Board.
If the Company is unable initially to satisfy the requirements for quotation
on the Nasdaq SmallCap Market or becomes unable to satisfy the requirements for
continued quotation thereon, and trading, if any, is conducted in the OTC
market, a shareholder may find it more difficult to dispose of, or to obtain
accurate quotations as to the market value of, the Company's securities.
(B) HOLDERS. There are three holders of the Company's Common Stock. On March
7, 2000, the Company issued 5,000,000 of its Common Shares to these shareholders
for cash at $.0001 per share for a total price of $725. The issued and
outstanding shares of the Company's Common Stock were issued in accordance with
the exemptions from registration afforded by Sections 3(b) and 4(2) of the
Securities Act of 1933 and Rules 506 and 701 promulgated thereunder.
(C) DIVIDENDS. The Company has not paid any dividends to date, and has no
plans to do so in the immediate future.
ITEM 2. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS.
There is no litigation pending or threatened by or against the Company.
ITEM 3. CHANGES IN AND DISAGREEMENTS WITH ACCOUNTANTS ON ACCOUNTING AND
FINANCIAL DISCLOSURE.
The Company has not changed accountants since its formation and there are no
disagreements with the findings of its accountants.

<PAGE>
ITEM 4. RECENT SALES OF UNREGISTERED SECURITIES.
During the past three years, the Company has sold securities that were not
registered as follows:
<TABLE>
<CAPTION>
Date Name Number of Shares Consideration
---- ---- ---------------- -------------
<S> <C> <C> <C>
Nov. 26, 1999 TM Capital 4,750,000 $475.00
Partners, L.L.C. (1)
Nov. 26, 1999 Mark Elenowitz (1) 125,000 $125.00
Nov. 26, 1999 Louis Taubman (1) 125,000 $125.00
</TABLE>
--------
(1) Mark Elenowitz and Louis Taubman are the indirect owners of TM Capital
Partners, L.L.C. and therefore may be considered to be indirect beneficial
owners of the common stock of the Company issued to TM Capital. With respect to
the sales made to TM Capital, the Company relied on the exemption from the
registration requirements set forth in Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of
1933, as amended. Shares issued to Louis Taubman and Mark Elenowitz were issued
pursuant Rule 701.
The shareholders of the Company have executed and delivered a "lock-up"
letter agreement which provides that such shareholders shall not sell the
securities except in connection with or following the consummation of a merger
or acquisition. Further, each shareholder has placed its stock certificates with
the Company until such time. Any liquidation by the current shareholders after
the release from the "lock-up" selling limitation period may have a depressive
effect upon the trading price of the Company's securities in any future market
that may develop.
ITEM 5. INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS.
Section 145 of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware provides
that a Delaware corporation has the power, under specified circumstances, to
indemnify its directors, officers, employees and agents, against expenses
incurred in any action, suit or proceeding. The Certificate of Incorporation and
the By-laws of the Company provide for indemnification of directors and officers
to the fullest extent permitted by the General Corporation Law of the State of
Delaware.
The General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware provides that a
certificate of incorporation may contain a provision eliminating the personal
liability of a director to the corporation or its stockholders for monetary
damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director provided that such provision
shall not eliminate or limit the liability of a director (i) for any breach of
the director's duty of loyalty to the corporation or its stockholders, (ii) for
acts or omissions not in good faith or which involve intentional misconduct or a
28
<PAGE>
knowing violation of law, (iii) under Section 174 (relating to liability for
unauthorized acquisitions or redemptions of, or dividends on, capital stock) of
the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware, or (iv) for any
transaction from which the director derived an improper personal benefit. The
Company's Certificate of Incorporation contains such a provision.
INSOFAR AS INDEMNIFICATION FOR LIABILITIES ARISING UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF
1933, AS AMENDED, MAY BE PERMITTED TO DIRECTORS, OFFICERS OR PERSONS CONTROLLING
THE COMPANY PURSUANT TO THE FOREGOING PROVISIONS, IT IS THE OPINION OF THE
SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION THAT SUCH INDEMNIFICATION IS AGAINST PUBLIC
POLICY AS EXPRESSED IN THE ACT AND IS THEREFORE UNENFORCEABLE.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS
To The Board of Directors
Parade Holdings, Inc.
We have audited the accompanying balance sheet of Parade Holdings, Inc. (a
Delaware development stage corporation) as of March 31, 2000, and the related
statements of loss and accumulated deficit, stockholders' equity, and cash flows
for the period from inception (July 27, 1999) 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.
Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable
assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes
assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by
management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.
We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in
all material respects, the financial position of Parade Holdings, Inc. as of
March 31, 2000, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the
initial period then ended in conformity with generally accepted accounting
principles.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FROM INCEPTION TO THE PERIOD ENDED MARCH 31, 2000
NOTE 1 - DESCRIPTION OF THE COMPANY'S BUSINESS:
Parade Holdings, Inc. (the Company) was incorporated on July 27,
1999 in the state of Delaware. The Company was formed in order to
seek business opportunities and is currently a "blank check" company
with no business operations. As of the date of these financial
statements all of the Company's operations have been organizational
in nature and as a result it must be considered in its developmental
stage.
The Company's current business plan is to seek out business
opportunities and to pursue other related activities intended to
enhance shareholder value. The Company will be seeking
opportunities, which will probably be in the form of a merger with a
foreign or domestic private issuer that wishes to become a reporting
issuer. However, the Company will explore opportunities, which may
take the form of a purchase, exchange of stock, or encompass
entities such as a corporation, joint venture or partnership. This
includes industries such as service, finance, natural resources,
manufacturing, high technology, product development, medical,
communications and others.
NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:
The Company's accounting policies are in accordance with generally
accepted accounting principles. Outlined below are those policies
considered significant.

For purposes of the statement of cash flows, the company considers
