The selling stockholders have not entered into any underwriting
arrangements. The sale of the shares by the selling stockholders may occur in
one or more transactions that may take place on the over-the-counter market,
including ordinary broker's transactions, privately negotiated transactions, and

prices prevailing at the time of transfer, or at negotiated prices. Brokerage
fees or commissions may be paid by the selling stockholders in connection with
the sales of the common stock. The selling stockholders may transfer some or all
of the common stock in exchange for consideration other than cash, or for no
consideration, in the selling stockholders' sole discretion. This prospectus may
be used by the selling stockholders to transfer the common stock to affiliates
of the selling stockholders.
We have filed with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission
(the "SEC") a registration statement under the Securities Act of 1933, as
amended, with respect to the common stock being offered. We have not included in

In February of 2000 the Company voluntarily filed with the SEC a
registration statement under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended
("the Exchange Act"), to become a "reporting company" subject to the reporting
requirements of that Act. Our registration became effective April 24, 2000. Our
filings may be inspected and copied at the SEC, Room 1024, Judiciary Plaza, 450
Fifth Street, N.W., Washington, D.C. 20549. We have filed, and will continue to
file, our registration statements (including this one) and other documents and
reports electronically through the Electronic Data Gathering, Analysis and
Retrieval System ("EDGAR") which is publicly accessible through the SEC's
Internet Web site (http://www.sec.gov).
We intend to furnish to our stockholders, after the close of each fiscal
year, an annual report containing audited financial statements examined and
reported upon by an independent certified public accountant relating to our
operations. In addition, we may furnish to our stockholders, from time to time,
such other reports as may be authorized by our board of directors. Our fiscal
year ends December 31.
WE HAVE NOT AUTHORIZED ANYONE TO GIVE INFORMATION OR TO MAKE
REPRESENTATIONS OTHER THAN THOSE CONTAINED IN THE PROSPECTUS, AND IF GIVEN OR
MADE, SUCH INFORMATION OR REPRESENTATIONS MUST NOT BE RELIED UPON AS HAVING BEEN
AUTHORIZED BY US. THE PROSPECTUS DOES NOT CONSTITUTE AN OFFER TO SELL OR A
SOLICITATION OF AN OFFER TO BUY ANY SECURITIES IN ANY JURISDICTION IN WHICH SUCH
OFFER OR SOLICITATION WOULD BE UNLAWFUL. THE DELIVERY OF THE PROSPECTUS SHALL
NOT UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES CREATE AN IMPLICATION THAT THERE HAS NOT BEEN ANY
CHANGE IN OUR AFFAIRS SINCE THE DATE OF THE PROSPECTUS. HOWEVER, WE DO NOT
CONSIDER ANY CHANGES THAT MAY HAVE OCCURRED MATERIAL TO AN INVESTMENT DECISION.
IN THE EVENT THERE HAS BEEN ANY MATERIAL CHANGE IN OUR AFFAIRS, WE WILL FILE A
POST-EFFECTIVE AMENDMENT TO THE REGISTRATION STATEMENT DESCRIBING THE CHANGES.

PROSPECTUS SUMMARY
We incorporated under the laws of the State of Nevada on October 14, 1999
for the purpose of developing a special-interest world wide web site. We raised
capital through private sales of our common stock to a few investors and
officers; however, our resources were insufficient to properly carry out our
business plan. The Board of Directors unanimously resolved to abandon the
original business plan and to focus on uncovering alternate business or
investment opportunities, or to acquire, merge with or be acquired by an
operating business. We are, and have been since inception, a development stage
company.
Our management believes that becoming a reporting public shell company will
make us an attractive candidate for a business combination, and accordingly we
have voluntarily registered our outstanding securities under the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934 to become such a reporting company. Our Exchange Act
registration became effective April 24, 2000. Exchange Act Registration does not
imply that the Securities and Exchange Commission or any securities regulatory
body has ruled on the merits of an investment in our securities, or on the
accuracy or completeness of our disclosures.
We are considered to be a "blank check" company under the federal
securities laws, because we have no specific business plan and our securities
are not traded on an exchange. Rule 419 of Regulation C under the Securities Act
of 1933 requires that the sales of shares in a blank check company be transacted
through an escrow account meeting the requirements of that Rule. See "SELLING
SHAREHOLDERS AND PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION -- Escrow Account." An investment in the
securities of a blank check company is extremely speculative, including the
potential for losing your entire investment.
We maintain our mailing address at 2921 N. Tenaya Way, Suite 216, Las
Vegas, Nevada 89128. Our phone number is (702) 947-4877.
THE OFFERING
The selling shareholders may sell a total of up to 3,500,000 shares of
common stock.
The shares may be sold at market prices or other negotiated prices. In
addition, the selling shareholders may, in their sole discretion, transfer the
shares in exchange for consideration other than cash or for no consideration.
The selling shareholders have not entered into any underwriting arrangements for
the sale of the shares. See "SELLING SECURITY HOLDERS AND PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION".
We will not receive any proceeds from the sale of common stock by the
selling shareholders.

RISK FACTORS
------------
LACK OF OPERATING HISTORY; NO REVENUE AND MINIMAL ASSETS. The Company has
had no operating history nor any revenues or earnings from operations. The
Company has minimal tangible assets or financial resources. We believe we have
sufficient cash to meet our needs for at least 14 months while we evaluate
potential business combinations or other opportunities. But we will, in all
likelihood, continue to sustain operating expenses without corresponding
revenues, at least until we can complete 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 profitable
business opportunity. There is no assurance that the Company can identify such a
business opportunity and consummate such a business combination within any
specific time frame, if at all.
LACK OF MANAGEMENT EXPERIENCE IN MERGERS AND ACQUISTIONS. Our management
has limited experience locating, evaluating, and negotiating with companies that
may be suitable for a business combination with us. We may confer with business
consultants, investment banks, attorney firms, accountants or other business
professionals to assist us in evaluating an opportunity, but our available
resources for such consultations are very limited. Accordingly, there can be no
assurance that we can find a suitable business combination, and if we do enter
into a business combination it may not be on terms most favorable to the Company
or our shareholders.
-8-
<PAGE>
SPECULATIVE NATURE OF 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 particular business
opportunity we identify. While management intends to seek a business combination
with an entity having established an operating history, there can be no
assurance that we will be successful in locating candidates meeting such
criteria. In the event we complete a business combination, of which there can be
no assurance, the success of the Company's operations may be dependent upon
management of the successor firm or venture partner firm and numerous other
factors beyond the Company's control. There is no assurance that we can identify
a target company and complete a business combination.
STATE BLUE SKY REGISTRATION; RESTRICTED RESALES OF THE SECURITIES. If you
purchase shares of our Common Stock from the selling shareholders, you may find
it difficult or impossible to sell or transfer them. Because the company has no
specific business plan, laws and regulations governing the purchase and sale of
securities may consider us to be a "blank check" company. A significant number
of states have enacted regulations that restrict or in some cases prohibit the
initial sale and subsequent resale of securities of "blank check" companies
within that state. In addition, many states, while not specifically prohibiting
trading in shares of "blank check" companies, would not register the securities
of the Company for sale or resale in their states. Because of these regulations,
we currently have no plans to register any of our securities with any state
other than California. To ensure that state laws are not violated through the
resales of the securities of the Company, we will refuse to register the
transfer of any of our securities to residents of any state which prohibits
resale. We do not anticipate that a secondary trading market for the Company's
securities will develop in any state until after we have completed a merger with
or an acquisition of an operating company, if at all.
SCARCITY OF AND COMPETITION FOR BUSINESS OPPORTUNITIES AND COMBINATIONS. We
are, and will continue to be, a minor participant in the business of seeking
mergers with, and acquisitions of, small private and public businesses. A large
number of established and well-financed entities, including venture capital
firms, are active in mergers and acquisitions of companies of the type which we
may be interested in acquiring or merging with. We believe that nearly all of
the firms competing with us have significantly greater financial resources,
technical expertise and managerial capabilities than we have. Consequently, we
will be at a competitive disadvantage in identifying possible business
opportunities and successfully completing a business combination. Moreover, we
may also have to compete in seeking merger or acquisition candidates with other
small public companies.
-9-
<PAGE>
NO AGREEMENT FOR BUSINESS COMBINATION OR OTHER TRANSACTION; NO STANDARDS
FOR BUSINESS COMBINATION. We currently have no arrangement, agreement or
understanding with respect to engaging in a merger with, joint venture with or
acquisition of, a private or public company. We can not be certain that we will
be successful in identifying and evaluating suitable business opportunities or
in concluding a business combination. We have not identified any particular
industry or specific business within an industry for evaluation, and even if we
identify such a company we cannot assure you that we will be able to negotiate a
business combination on terms favorable to the Company. We have not established
specific requirements or characteristics for a company we will evaluate, such as
a specific length of operating history or a specified level of earnings, assets,
net worth or other criteria. Accordingly, we may enter into a business
combination with a business opportunity that has no significant operating
history, is experiencing operating losses, or has limited or no potential for
earnings, limited assets, negative net worth or other negative characteristics.
CONFLICTS OF INTEREST; NON-ARMS-LENGTH TRANSACTIONS. It is possible that
various conflicts of interest and non-arms length transactions may arise in the
future in connection with the Company's selection of a target Company to acquire
or to merge with. For instance, it is possible that the terms of a business
combination may include such terms as one or more of our officers or directors
continuing to serve as officers or directors of the merged entity. There may
also be a payment in cash or some other consideration to officers or directors
for the purchase or retirement of all or part of their common stock of the
Company. The officers and directors would directly benefit from such a payment,
and those benefits may influence their selection of a target company. The
Certificate of Incorporation of the Company provides that we 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 arising out of that
indemnification. See "MANAGEMENT -- Indemnification of Officers and Directors."
The Company has adopted a policy that it will not enter into a business
combination with any entity in which any member of management holds an ownership
interest, or serves as an officer, director or partner, or in which any
affiliates or associates of a member of management, holds any ownership
interest.
LIMITED MANAGEMENT TIME AND ATTENTION TO THE AFFAIRS OF THE COMPANY. Each
of our executive officers and directors participates in other business and
employment activities which compete with the Company for their time and
attention, and may preclude them devoting sufficient time to the Company's
interests. At present, each officer devotes less than 10% of working hours to
the Company's affairs. We have not entered into any employment contract with any
officer or director, and do not anticipate doing so in the foreseeable future.
We have not purchased key man life insurance on any of the officers. The loss of
an officer may adversely affect the development of our business.
-10-
<PAGE>
LACK OF MARKET RESEARCH OR MARKETING ORGANIZATION. We have not conducted
market research indicating that market demand exists for the type of transaction
we are hoping to complete, nor have we obtained any market research from any
other source. Moreover, we neither have, nor intend to establish, a marketing
organization. Even in the event we identify a demand for a merger or
acquisition, we cannot assure you that we will be successful in completing any
such business combination.
LACK OF DIVERSIFICATION. Even if we are successful in our plan to acquire
or merge with an operating company, our activities may be limited to those
engaged in by the business entity or entities we combine with. Our inability to
diversify our activities into a number of areas may subject us to economic
fluctuations within a particular business or industry and therefore increase the
risks associated with our operations.
PROBABLE CHANGE IN CONTROL AND MANAGEMENT. If we enter into a business
combination involving the issuance of the Company's Common Shares, it is likely
that the shareholders of a private company will obtain a controlling interest in
us. Such a business combination may require our management to sell or transfer
all or a portion of the Company's Common Shares held by them, or resign as
members of the Board of Directors of the Company, or both. The resulting change
in control of the Company could result in the removal of present officers and a
corresponding reduction in or elimination of their participation in the future
affairs of the Company.
PURCHASE OF PENNY STOCKS CAN BE RISKY. In the event that a public market
develops for our common stock following a business combination, our stock may be
classified as a "penny stock" depending upon the market price and the manner in
which it is traded. 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 whose
securities are admitted to quotation but do not trade on the Nasdaq SmallCap
Market or on a national securities exchange. For any transaction involving a
penny stock, unless exempt, the rules require that the broker deliver a document
to investors stating the risks of investment in penny stocks, the possible lack
of liquidity, commissions to be paid, current quotation and investors' rights
and remedies, a special suitability inquiry, regular reporting to the investor
and other requirements. Prices for penny stocks are often not available and
investors are often unable to sell such stock. Thus you may lose your entire
investment in a penny stock and consequently should be cautious of any purchase
of penny stocks.
-11-
<PAGE>
POTENTIAL REDUCTION OF PERCENTAGE SHARE OWNERSHIP FOLLOWING BUSINESS
COMBINATION. Our primary plan of operation is based upon a business combination
with a private concern which, depending on the terms of merger or acquisition,
may result in the Company issuing securities to shareholders of the private
company. Our issuance of previously authorized and unissued Common Shares would
result in a reduction in the percentage of shares owned by present and
prospective shareholders of the Company and may result in a change in control or
management of the Company.
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, according 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 entity; however, there can be no assurance that we can comply with the
statutory requirements of a tax-free reorganization or that the parties will
obtain the intended tax-free treatment when they transfer stock or assets. If a
business combination should fail to qualify as a tax-free reorganization, both
parties could suffer adverse federal and state tax consequences.
REPORTING REQUIREMENTS MAY DELAY OR PRECLUDE ACQUISITION. Section 13 of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934 requires that when we acquire a significant
asset we must report certain information, including audited financial statements
of the acquired company. We must furnish these audited financial statements
within 75 days following the effective date of a business combination. Obtaining
and paying for audited financial statements would be the responsibility of the
acquired company. Some companies that may otherwise be suited to a business
combination with us may deem it too costly or disruptive to obtain audited
statements. 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. Even though a
target company agrees to obtain audited financial statements within the required
time frame, they may not be available at the time we negotiate and complete a
business combination. In cases where audited financials are unavailable, we will
have to rely upon unaudited information that has not been verified by outside
auditors in making our decision to engage in a transaction with the business
entity. This risk increases the prospect that a business combination with such a
business entity might prove to be an unfavorable one for the Company.
-12-
<PAGE>
COMPUTER SYSTEMS REDESIGNED FOR YEAR 2000. Many existing computer programs
use only two digits to identify a year in such program's date field. These
programs were designed and developed without consideration of the impact of the
change in the century for which four digits will be required to accurately
report the date. If not corrected, many computer applications could fail or
create erroneous results ("Year 2000 Problem"). Many of the computer programs
containing such date language problems have not been corrected by the companies
or governments operating such programs. It is impossible to predict what
computer programs will be affected, the impact any such computer disruption will
have on other industries or commerce or the severity or duration of a computer
disruption.
YEAR 2000 PROBLEM MAY ADVERSELY AFFECT THE COMPANY. We do not have
operations and do not maintain computer systems. Before we enter into any
business combination, we may inquire as to the status of any target company's
Year 2000 Problem, the steps the target company has taken or intends to take to
correct any such problem and the probable impact on the target company of any
computer disruption. However, we cannot assure you that any company we enter
into a business combination transaction with will be be free of uncorrected Year
2000 Problems. The extent of the Year 2000 Problem of a target company may be
impossible to ascertain and any impact on us will likely be impossible to
predict. If we do not accurately determine the Year 2000 Problem readiness of a
target company, or if that target company is unsure of its own readiness or
vulnerability, then we may suffer severe consequences if the disruptions
predicted by the Year 2000 Problem materialize. In addition to the those
disruptions that may be suffered by region, such as erratic distribution of
electricity, gas, food, water, telephone and transportation systems, we may be
specifically harmed by computer hardware or software failure on which the target
company may have been dependent.
OUR SHAREHOLDERS MAY NOT HAVE A SAY IN THE SELECTION OF A BUSINESS
OPPORTUNITY. If and when our Management decides to enter into a business
combination or opportunity, we do not expect to submit the matter to a vote of
the shareholders in advance of completing a transaction. We are authorized and
may elect to enter into any lawful transaction in the discretion of the Board of
Directors. Accordingly, it is unlikely that the shareholders will have a voice
-13-
<PAGE>
in the selection of a business opportunity for the Company, or in the terms of
any acquisition or business combination. You will, however, be given an
opportunity to affirm or withdraw your offer to purchase securities after we
have amended this registration statement to include information about a merger
or acquisition, and have delivered to you a new prosectus including the
information. See "SELLING SHAREHOLDERS AND PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION -- Escrow
Account."
THE COMPANY
-----------
DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS.
We were incorporated in the State of Nevada on October 14, 1999, for the
purpose of developing and operating a special interest worldwide web site
community. Prior to fully implementing our business plan, however, we determined
that our capital resources were inadequate, and we abandoned the plan. We then
resolved to investigate possibilities for investing in an existing business
enterprise, or forming a business combination with an operating company of some
sort. To date, we have not been successful in locating such a venture or
company, and there is no assurance that we will be successful in the future. We
have been a development stage company since our inception, and we have no
prospects for generating any revenues or earning any profits unless or until we
can complete a business combination with an operating company.
We believe that there are companies already conducting business operations
which could benefit from entering into a business combination with a "public"
company. In some circumstances, such a transaction might aid the company in
establishing a public trading market for its stock, while avoiding possible
adverse consequences of doing its own public offering. Such consequences may
include, among others, time delays of the registration process, significant
expenses to be incurred in such an offering, loss of voting control to public
shareholders and the inability or unwillingness to comply with various federal
and state laws enacted for the protection of investors. Regardless of such
perceived advantages, however, such a company or business opportunity is not
permitted to utilize a business combination with a reporting company as a device
to circumvent the disclosure requirements of the Exchange Act. Accordingly, any
company that is not willing and able to provide a current audited financial
statement within a reasonable period following the consummation of a business
combination will not be a suitable candidate for a business combination with us.
We have not established any particular parameters or guidelines as to the
type, nature, suitability or any other characteristics of any business or
company which we may seek to acquire, invest in or form a business combination
with. The expertise and interests of the present management lie in the areas of
psychological services, education and publishing; however, the Board of
Directors has resolved to consider any viable opportunities it becomes aware of
regardless of the business or industry. In reviewing possible acquisition
-14-
<PAGE>
targets and investment opportunities, we will perform, or engage someone to
perform, only that investigation and evaluation which our Directors deem
necessary and appropriate before deciding whether and on what terms to proceed
with a business combination, if at all. No member of our Board has any
particular experience or expertise in performing these sorts of evaluations, or
in negotiating mergers and acquisitions. Accordingly, we remain uncertain as to
when, if ever, the Company will become profitable.
We are likely to face significant competition for available business and
investment opportunities, mostly from substantial competitors with far greater
resources and expertise than we possess. Our competitors include venture capital
firms, investment banks, and large professional groups such as attorney firms,
accounting firms, and business consultants (see "Competition").
In furtherance of our current business objective, we have voluntarily
registered our outstanding common stock pursuant to Section 12(g) of the
Exchange Act. We are informed and believe, although there can be no assurance,
that our ability to attract and successfully negotiate a business combination
with an operating company, or to pursue certain business opportunities, may be
enhanced by our becoming a reporting company under the Exchange Act. The
Company's registration statement became effective April 24, 2000, making us
subject to the reporting requirements of that Act as of that date. The fact that
the Company has registered a class of securities does not in any manner signify
that the U. S. Securities and Exchange Commission or any other regulatory body
has passed upon the merits of an investment in the Company's stock, or on the
accuracy or completeness of its registration statements or required periodic
reports.
We have not filed bankruptcy, been in receivership, or been involved in any
similar proceedings. We have not been involved in a purchase or sale of a
significant amount of assets, whether in the ordinary course of business or
otherwise. We have had no sales or revenues, other than interest earned on our
cash balances, and we currently have no products or services. Accordingly, we
have no backlog of orders, nor are we dependent on any one or few large
customers. We are not subject to any industry-specific government regulation,
nor do we need government approval for any of our operations, except that as a
reporting company we must comply with federal and state securities laws and
regulations wherever we engage in activities that are subject to those laws and
rules (see "Regulation"). We have made no significant expenditures on research
and development during the most recent fiscal year or interim period. We
maintain an office at 2921 N. Tenaya Way, Suite 216, Las Vegas, Nevada 89128
which we share with other business entities.

PLAN OF OPERATION
The Company is in the development stage, having no revenues from business
operations since our inception. Moreover, we are considered under the securities
regulations to be a "blank check" company since we have no specific business
plan other than to acquire, merge with or invest in a business opportunity or
entity which we have not yet identified. We believe we have sufficient cash to
meet our needs for the next 12 months, and accordingly have not planned to raise
additional capital during that time. However, we are uncertain what costs we
will incur in locating, investigating and negotiating for acquisitions or
business combination opportunities. Should we decide to raise additional capital
by selling equity securities, your percentage ownership of the Company could be
substantially diluted.
EMPLOYEES
At present we have no full time or part time employees. Our officers have
allocated a small portion of their working hours to various activities on behalf
of the Company, but have received no compensation other than some reimbursement
of minor out-of-pocket expenses incurred by them on our behalf. We currently
have no plans to hire employees or to institute a compensation plan for the
existing officers, although it is likely that we will put into place some sort
of executive compensation plan should the Company succeed in creating operating
revenues through a business combination or investment. If we institute such a
plan, it would be based on industry standards for compensation of executives in
similar businesses with similar duties and responsibilities.
REGULATION
Inasmuch as the Company is not engaged in any particular business, other
than seeking a suitable acquistion or merger, or business opportunity of some
sort, we are not subject to any industry-specific laws, rules or regulatory
scheme. Nevertheless, as a reporting company under the Securities Exchange Act
of 1934, we are subject to all of the rules and requirements applicable to
reporting companies (see "Risk Factors"). These requirements include at a
minimum the obligation to file periodic reports with the Securities and Exchange
Commission, including an audited financial statement within ninety days of our
fiscal year-end, and unaudited financial statements within forty-five days of
the end of each interim fiscal quarter.
We are also required to file Current Reports on Form 8-K with respect to
certain developments, including such occurrences as a change of our certifying
accountants, acquiring or disposing of a significant amount of assets, or a
change of control, any or all of which are likely to occur in connection with
the Company's completion of a merger with or acquisition of an operating
company. These reporting requirements will represent a continuing burden on the
Company's cash and management resources whether or not we succeed in our
business plan.
-16-
<PAGE>
Although at present we have no plans to do so, it is possible that we will
invest our cash in passive investments in securities. If we do so, we may be
required to register as an investment company under the Investment Company Act
of 1940. Registering will likely incur a significant drain on the Company's
limited resources, and may require us to borrow funds or sell more securities to
defray the costs of registration. If we sell additional equity securities, or
securities exercisable or convertible into equity stock, your proportional
ownership in the Company will be diluted.
COMPETITION
We will likely remain an insignificant participant among the firms which
engage in the acquisition of business opportunities. There are many established
venture capital and financial concerns which have significantly greater
financial and personnel resources and technical expertise than the Company. We
cannot predict in advance who will be specific competitors for particular
acquisitions or investments that we may choose to pursue. However, in view of
our limited financial resources, and limited management availability and
expertise, we will likely remain at a significant disadvantage compared to our
competitors.
PROPERTY
The Company does not own any real or personal property. We currently
maintain a mailing and business address at the offices of our statutory resident
agent, for which we pay a small annual fee. That address is:
Westnet Communication Group, Inc.
2921 N. Tenaya Way, Suite 216
Las Vegas, Nevada 89128
We believe these facilities will be adequate for the needs of the Company
until such time as we commence regular business operations or enter into a
business combination transaction with an operating company.

the Company. Ms. Warren retired from a supervisory position for Centel Telephone
in 1997, and has served five years as a Director for Investment Management
Associates, a financial consulting firm. For the foreseeable future, Ms. Warren

development of the business, up to an estimated maximum of about 25 hours per
week.
EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION
To date, we have not paid any money to any officer or director, except
reimbursement for direct out-of-pocket expenses incurred by them on behalf of
the Company. We currently have no plans to implement executive or director
compensation, and none of the executives or directors is accruing any
compensation that would have to be paid in the future. Our directors and
executive officers currently devote less than ten percent of working hours to
the affairs of the Company.
On October 14, 1999, we issued 150,000 restricted pre-split shares (now
300,000 shares) to the executive officers of the Company in exchange for their
services in the planning and organization of the Company. Those shares are
included in the shares being offered by this prospectus.
The Company is not a party to any employment contracts and does not pay
consulting fees to officers or directors. No cash or other advances have been or
are contemplated to be made to any officer or director. We have no retirement,
pension, profit sharing or stock option plans or insurance or medical payment
plans covering any officer or director, nor do have any intention to implement
such plans in the foreseeable future.
-18-
<PAGE>
If and when we complete a merger or acquisition with an unaffiliated
business entity, it is possible that the entity may desire to employ or retain
one or a number of members of our present management for the purposes of
providing services to the surviving entity. The Company has adopted a policy
whereby the offer of any post-transaction compensation to members of management
will not be a consideration in the Company's decision to undertake any proposed
transaction.
The management has agreed to disclose to the Company's Board of Directors
any discussions concerning possible compensation to be paid to them by any
entity which proposes to undertake a transaction with us. It is possible that
persons associated with management may refer a prospective merger or acquisition
candidate to us. In the event the Company consummates a transaction with any
entity referred by associates of management, it is possible that such an
associate will be compensated for their referral in the form of a finder's fee.
We anticipate that this fee, if one is paid, will be in the form of either
restricted common stock or warrants issued by the Company as part of the terms
of the proposed transaction, or will be in the form of cash consideration. As of
the date of this prospectus, it is not possible for us to determine the amount
of such a finder's fee, but we expect it to be comparable to consideration
normally paid in similar transactions. Any new restricted stock we may issue as
compensation will dilute the percentage ownership of existing shareholders. Any
warrants we may issue will potentially dilute the percentage ownership of
existing shareholders.
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.
INDEMNIFICATION OF OFFICERS AND DIRECTORS
To the fullest extent permitted by the laws of the State of Nevada and the
By-laws of the Company, we will indemnify any person who is made a party, or
threatened to be made a party, to an action or proceeding, whether criminal,
civil, administrative or investigative, because of his or her having been a
director or officer of the Company, or having served any other enterprise as
director, officer or employee at the request of the Company. The Board of
Directors, in its discretion, has the power on behalf of the Company to
indemnify any person, other than a director or officer, made a party to any
action, suit or proceeding by reason of the fact that he/she is or was an
employee of the Company.
INDEMNIFICATION OF OFFICERS OR PERSONS CONTROLLING THE COMPANY FOR LIABILITIES
ARISING UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933 IS HELD TO BE AGAINST PUBLIC POLICY BY
THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION AND IS THEREFORE UNENFORCEABLE.

<PAGE>
MARKET FOR COMMON STOCK AND RELATED STOCKHOLDER MATTERS
-------------------------------------------------------
The Company's shares have never traded, and there exists no public trading
market for the shares. As of the date of this prospectus, the Company has seven
(7) shareholders, including officers, directors and control persons.
The Company intends to apply to have its Common Stock traded on the
over-the-counter market and listed on the OTC Bulletin Board. There is no
assurance that the Company will obtain OTC Bulletin Board listing, that a
trading market will ever develop or, if such a market does develop, that it will
continue. Even if a market does develop and continue, the trading volume in the
Company's securities may be inadequate to provide meaningful liquidity or
reliable pricing.
The securities to which this registration statement applies are being
offered by selling security holders. No new shares are being offered for sale by
the Company. There are no outstanding options, rights, warrants to purchase, or
securities convertible into, our common equity.
The Company has never paid a dividend, nor does it intend to do so in the
foreseeable future. There are no restrictions on the power of the Board of
Directors to declare and pay dividends.
CERTAIN TRANSACTIONS
--------------------
There have been no related party transactions, or any other transactions or
relationships required to be disclosed pursuant to Item 404 of Regulation S-B.
On October 14, 1999, we issued 150,000 restricted pre-split shares (now
300,000 shares) to the executive officers of the Company in exchange for their
services in the planning, organization and formation of the Company. Those
shares are included among the shares being offered by this prospectus.

SELLING SECURITY HOLDERS AND PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION
-------------------------------------------------
METHOD OF DISTRIBUTION
This prospectus concerns the transfer by the selling security holders of an
aggregate of 3,500,000 shares of common stock. The selling security holders may
transfer the common stock at those prices that they are able to obtain in the
market or in negotiated transactions. In addition, the selling stockholders may
transfer the shares in exchange for consideration other than cash, or for no
consideration, as determined by the selling stockholders in their sole
discretion. The selling stockholders may use this prospectus to transfer shares
of the common stock to affiliates of the selling stockholders. We will receive
no proceeds from the sale of common stock by the selling security holders.
Under federal securities laws, we are deemed to be a "blank check" company,
because we are a development stage company with no specific business plan or
purpose, and our securities are not traded on a securities exchange. Rule 419 of
Regulation C under the Securities Act of 1933 ("Rule 419") imposes a special
escrow requirement on sales of stock in blank check companies. Under the rule,
all proceeds from the sales of the securities offered by this prospectus will be
deposited into an escrow or special account and held there until certain
conditions are met. See "Escrow Account" following.
-23-
<PAGE>
ESCROW ACCOUNT
Rule 419 requires that securities sold by a blank check issuer, and the
proceeds of those sales, be deposited into an escrow account at an insured
depository institution, or into a segregated account at a registered securities
Broker-Dealer. If you purchase shares of stock offered through this prospectus,
the selling shareholder(s) will deposit the shares and your payment into an
escrow account established for that purpose at Southwest Escrow, Inc. of Las
Vegas, Nevada. When we acquire an operating business, or complete a merger or
other business combination with an operating entity, the funds will be released
to the Selling Shareholders, and the securities will be released to you.
Once we have secured an agreement to acquire or combine with an operating
company, we will file an amendment to our registration statement and send you an
amended prospectus with information about the new business, including financial
statements. If, after reviewing the amended prospectus, you still wish to
purchase the shares, you will be asked to affirm your intention in writing. If
you do not affirm your purchase in writing within 45 days of the effective date
of our amended registration statement, your funds will be promptly returned to
you together with any interest or dividends earned on them. If a sufficient
number of purchasers affirm their purchases, the acquisition or merger will be
completed, and the funds will be released to the selling shareholders and the
securities will be released to you.
If we have not consummated an acquisition or business combination within 18
months after the effective date of our initial registration statement, your
funds will be returned to you together with any interest or dividends earned on
them. If the selling shareholders elect to withdraw their registration statement
prior to the consummation of a business combination or the passing of 18 months,
your funds will be returned to you with interest or dividends earned, if any.
The Escrow Agreement between Southwest Escrow Co. and the Selling
Shareholders is attached as Exhibit 99 to our Registration Statement filed on
the E.D.G.A.R. reporting system. If you wish to review the Escrow Agreement, and
are unable or do not wish to access E.D.G.A.R., you may contact the selling
shareholders in care of Westnet Communication Group, Inc., 2921 N.Tenaya Way,
Suite 216, Las Vegas, Nevada, 89128, (702) 947-4877 and a copy will be made
available to you.
SALES THROUGH REGISTERED BROKER-DEALERS
We anticipate that the selling security holders will offer the shares in
direct sales to private persons and in open market transactions. In that event,
the transactions will be effected as described above under "Escrow Account."
It is possible that the selling security holders may offer the shares to or
through registered broker-dealers who may be paid standard commissions or
discounts by the selling security holders. In that event, the funds and
securities will be deposited into a segregated account at the Broker-Dealer, to
be held and released on the same terms and conditions as described under "Escrow
Account" above, except that the amount of any brokerage commission or selling
expenses may be deducted from your funds as soon as they are deposited.
-24-
<PAGE>
As of the date of this Prospectus, we believe that no selling security
holders have any arrangements or agreements with any underwriters or
broker-dealers to sell the shares. Should any selling security holder make such
an agreement or arrangement, any sales under the agreement must be transacted
according to the Escrow Agreement with Southwest Escrow Co. or through a
segregated brokerage account. Additionally, agents, brokers or dealers may
acquire shares or interests in shares and may, from time to time, effect
distributions of the shares or interests in such capacity. Such distributions
will be subject to the escrow requirements of Rule 419 until we have completed
an acquisition or merger.
SELLING SECURITY HOLDERS
The following table sets forth the name of the selling security holders,
the number of shares of common stock owned by the selling security holders
before this offering, the number of shares of common stock being registered, and
the number and percentage of shares of common stock owned after this offering.
None of the selling security holders has held any position or office, or had any
marital relationship with our officers or directors in the past three years
except as noted below.

Las Vegas, NV
We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of Westnet Communication Group,
Inc. (the Company) as of May 31, 2000 and the related statements of income,
shareholders' equity (from inception October 14, 1999), and cash flows for the

opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain

misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting

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 of the financial statements provides a reasonable
basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, based on our audit, the financial statements referred to above
present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Westnet

been a director or officer of the Company, or having served any other enterprise
as director, officer or employee at the request of the Company. The Board of
Directors, in its discretion, shall have the power on behalf of the Company to
indemnify any person, other than a director or officer, made a party to any

On October 14, 1999, the Company issued 450,000 shares of its common stock

Ltd., for cash. On December 1, 1999, we sold 1,000,000 shares of common stock to
two private investors for $0.05 per share. All of the shares were issued
pursuant to the exemption authority provided in Section 4(2) of the Securities
Act of 1933, as amended, and are therefore subject to certain restrictions on
transfer until such time as a registration statement has become effective with
respect to the shares, or unless an exemption is available.

ITEM 28. UNDERTAKINGS
The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes:
(1) To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a
post-effective amendment to this Registration Statement.
(i) To include any Prospectus required by Section l0(a)(3) of the
Securities Act of l933;
(ii) To reflect in the Prospectus any facts or events arising after
the effective date of the Registration Statement (or the most recent
post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the
aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth
in the Registration Statement;
(iii) To include any material information with respect to the plan of
distribution not previously disclosed in the Registration Statement or
any material change to such information in the Registration Statement,
including (but not limited to) any addition or deletion of a managing
underwriter.
-39-
<PAGE>
(2) That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities
Act of l933, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new
registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the
offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial
bona fide offering thereof.
(3) To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any
of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination
of the offering.
(4) Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities
Act of l933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons
of the Registrant, the Registrant has been advised that in the opinion of
the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against
public policy as expressed in the Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In
the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other
than the payment by the Registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a
director, officer or controlling person of the Registrant in the successful
defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director,
officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being
registered, the Registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the
matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of
appropriate jurisdiction the question of whether such indemnification by it
is against public policy as expressed in the Act and will be governed by
the final adjudication of such issue.
(5) For determining any liability under the Securities Act, treat each
post-effective amendment that contains a form of prospectus as a new
registration statement for the securities offered in the registration
statement, and that offering of the securities at that time as the initial
bona fide offering of those securities.

SIGNATURES

1934, the registrant has duly caused this registration statement to be signed on
its behalf by the undersigned, thereunto duly authorized.
