PART I
ITEM 1. DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS.
Since its inception on July 11, 1997, FREEDOM FINANCIAL CORPORATION a Wyoming
corporation (the "Company") has not engaged in any operations other than
organizational matters. It was formed specifically to be a "blank check" or
"clean public shell" corporation, for the purpose of either merging with or
acquiring an operating company with operating history and assets. The Company
is a "clean public shell" because it has not commenced operational activities,
and has no debt liabilities. The Company has not been involved in any
litigation nor has it had any prior regulatory problems or business failures.
We believe that a strong attraction of the Company as a merger partner or
acquisition vehicle will be its status as a reporting public company without
any history of prior business failures, litigation or prior regulatory
problems.
The executive offices of the Company are located at 10130 East Winding Trail,
Tucson, Arizona 85749. Its telephone number is (520) 577-1516. The President,
Secretary and sole director of the Company is Daniel L. Hodges.
Mr. Hodges was not the original incorporator of the Company. Mr. Hodges
retained the services of a third party to incorporate or provide already
incorporated Nevada and Wyoming companies. Subsequent to incorporation, the
original incorporator resigned as director and Mr. Hodges was appointed as sole
officer and director of the Company. Mr. Hodges continues to be the sole
officer and director of the Company and majority shareholder.
As the sole director, Mr. Hodges has commenced implementation of the Company's
principal business purpose, which is to seek merger or acquisition candidates.
The Company intends to seek to acquire assets or shares of an entity actively
engaged in business which generates revenues, in exchange for its securities.
The Company has not selected any company as an acquisition or merger candidate
and does not intend to limit itself to any particular field or industry, but
does, in its sole discretion, retain the right to do so. The Company's plans
are in the conceptual stage only. There is no relationship between the
particular name of the Company and the Company's intended business plan. If
successful in completing a merger or acquisition, the Company expects that it
would change its name to reflect the marketing goals of the business
combination.
As is described fully in Item 5 herein, Mr. Hodges has had a controlling
interest in numerous shell companies which have effected mergers or
acquisitions similar to that which the Company will be seeking. In these
situations, Mr. Hodges has typically sold his controlling interests in the
shell companies for cash. The other shareholders of the shell companies
received interests in the applicable new company as a result of the merger or
acquisition.

COMPETITION
The Company is an insignificant participant which competes among firms which
engage in business combinations with, or financing of, development stage
enterprises. There are many established management and financial consulting
companies and venture capital firms which have significantly greater financial
and personnel resources, technical expertise and experience than the Company in
this field. In view of the Company's limited financial resources and management
availability, the Company continues to be at a significant competitive
disadvantage.
REGULATION AND TAXATION
The Company intends to structure a merger or acquisition in such a manner as to
minimize federal and state tax consequences to the Company and to any target
company.
PATENTS
The Company owns no patents and no Internet domain names.
EMPLOYEES
The Company has no full-time or part-time employees. Mr. Hodges, the sole
officer and director of the Company, has agreed to allocate a nominal portion
of his time to the activities of the Company without compensation.
LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
The Company is not subject to any pending litigation, legal proceedings or
claims.
RISK FACTORS
The Company's business is subject to numerous risk factors, including the
following:
THE COMPANY HAS ONLY ONE DIRECTOR AND ONE OFFICER.
The Company's president and sole officer is Daniel L. Hodges. Mr. Hodges is the
sole director and the majority shareholder. Because management consists of only
Mr. Hodges, the Company does not benefit from multiple judgments that a greater
number of directors or officers would provide. The Company must rely completely
on the judgment of its sole officer and director when selecting a target
company. The decision to enter into a business combination will likely be made
without detailed feasibility studies, independent analysis, market surveys or
similar information which, if the Company had more funds available to it, would
be desirable. Mr. Hodges anticipates devoting only a nominal amount of time per
month to the business of the Company. Mr. Hodges has not entered into a written
employment agreement with the Company and he is not expected to do so. The
Company has not obtained key man life insurance on Mr. Hodges. The loss of the
services of Mr. Hodges would adversely affect development of the Company's
business and its likelihood of continuing operations.
3
<PAGE> 4
THE COMPANY HAS NO OPERATING HISTORY, NO REVENUE, MINIMAL ASSETS AND OPERATES
AT A LOSS.
The Company has no operating history or any revenues or earnings from
operations. The Company has no significant assets or financial resources. The
Company has operated at a loss to date and will, in all likelihood, continue to
have operating expenses without corresponding revenues, at least until the
consummation of a business combination. As of March 31, 2000, the Company had
incurred expenses of approximately $3,800. Mr. Hodges has paid these expenses
and he has no expectation or agreement with the Company for reimbursement for
those expenses. There is no assurance that the Company will ever be profitable.
MR. HODGES MAY HAVE CONFLICTS OF INTEREST WITH THE COMPANY.
The terms of any future business combination involving the Company may include
such terms as Mr. Hodges' remaining a director or officer of the Company
following the business combination. However, the terms of a business
combination may provide for a payment by cash, securities or otherwise to Mr.
Hodges for the purchase or retirement of all or part of his common stock of the
Company by a target company or for services rendered incident to or following a
business combination. Mr. Hodges would directly benefit from such employment or
payment. These benefits may influence Mr. Hodges' choice of a target company.
In addition, the Articles of Incorporation of the Company provide that the
Company indemnify its officers and/or directors 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.
As is described fully in Item 5 herein, Mr. Hodges has had a controlling
interest in numerous shell companies which have effected mergers or
acquisitions similar to that which the Company will be seeking. In these
situations, Mr. Hodges has typically sold his controlling interests in the
shell companies for cash. The other shareholders of the shell companies
received interests in the applicable new company as a result of the merger or
acquisition.
In addition, Mr. Hodges has participated or is currently participating in other
blank check companies which may compete directly with the Company. See Item 5
for a listing of these companies. Additional conflicts of interest and
non-arm's length transactions may also arise in the future. As of the date of
this prospectus, Mr. Hodges has been or currently is involved with 130 shell
companies, approximately 110 of which are or will be seeking business
opportunities for mergers or acquisitions. Consequently, there are potential
inherent conflicts of interest in Mr. Hodges' acting as officer and director of
the Company. Conflicts could also arise if the Company were to enter into any
business combination with a company in which Mr. Hodges is involved. This type
of business transaction is not an arm's-length transaction because of Mr.
Hodges' potential involvement with both parties. While there is no policy
prohibiting such a transaction, the Company currently does not intend to engage
in a business combination of this type.
Many states, including Wyoming where the Company is incorporated, have enacted
laws to address breaches of fiduciary duties of management when conflicts of
interest become
4
<PAGE> 5
problematic. You should note that shareholders' pursuit of remedies under state
laws can be prohibitively expensive and time consuming.
THE COMPANY'S PROPOSED OPERATIONS ARE SPECULATIVE.
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
not-yet-identified target company. While business combinations with entities
having established operating histories are preferred, we cannot guarantee that
the Company will be successful in locating candidates meeting such criteria. In
the event the Company does complete a business combination, the success of the
Company's operations will be dependent upon the management of the target
company and numerous other factors beyond the Company's control. There is no
assurance that the Company can identify a target company and consummate a
business combination.
THE PURCHASE OF PENNY STOCKS CAN BE RISKY.
In the event that a public trading market develops for the Company's shares
following a business combination, such securities may be classified as a "penny
stock" depending upon their market price and the manner in which they are
traded. Section 3(a)(51) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 defines 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 and is not admitted for
quotation and does not trade on the Nasdaq Stock Market or on a national
securities exchange. For any transaction involving a penny stock, unless
exempt, the rules require delivery by the broker of a document to investors
stating the risks of investment in penny stocks, the possible lack of
liquidity, commissions to be paid, current quotations 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 an investor may lose his
entire investment in a penny stock and consequently should be cautious of any
purchase of penny stocks.
THERE IS A SCARCITY OF, AND SIGNIFICANT 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 companies, 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 of these other
participants have greater financial resources, technical expertise and
managerial capabilities than the Company. 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. As of the date of this prospectus, Mr. Hodges has been
or currently is involved with 130 shell companies, approximately 110 of which
are or will be seeking business opportunities for mergers or acquisitions.
5
<PAGE> 6
CURRENTLY, THERE IS NO AGREEMENT FOR A BUSINESS COMBINATION WITH THE COMPANY
AND NO MINIMUM REQUIREMENTS FOR A BUSINESS COMBINATION.
The Company has no current arrangement, agreement or understanding with respect
to engaging in a business combination with any specific entity. We cannot
guarantee that the Company will be successful in identifying and evaluating any
suitable business opportunities or in concluding a business combination. We
have not selected any particular industry or specific business within an
industry as a potential target company. The Company has not established any
criteria, including a specific length of operating history or a specified level
of earnings, assets, and/or net worth, 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. We cannot
guarantee you that the Company will be able to negotiate a business combination
on terms favorable to the Company.
WE MAY BE DELAYED OR PRECLUDED FROM AN ACQUISITION BY REPORTING REQUIREMENTS.
Pursuant to the requirements of Section 13 of the Securities Exchange Act of
1934, the Company is required to provide certain information about significant
acquisitions including audited financial statements of the acquired company.
These audited financial statements must be furnished within 75 days following
the effective date of a business combination. The information about they merger
or acquisition and the audited financials will be reported by the Company on
Form 8-K.
The target company will have the obligation for obtaining audited financial
statements. The additional time and costs for some potential target companies
to prepare 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. Notwithstanding a target
company's agreement to obtain audited financial statements within the required
time frame, these audited financials may not be available to the Company at the
time of effecting a business combination. In cases where audited financials are
unavailable, the Company will have to rely upon unaudited information that has
not been verified by outside auditors in making its 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.
After the consummation of the merger or acquisition, if Mr. Hodges does not
assume a director or officer position with the new company, he will have no
legal or other obligation or responsibility for the reporting requirements of
the new company. All obligations and responsibilities will reside with the
management of the new company.

<PAGE> 7
WE LACK MARKET RESEARCH AND MARKETING ORGANIZATION.
The Company has not conducted, and others have not made available to the
Company, market research indicating that demand exists for the transactions we
contemplate. Even in the event demand exists for a transaction of the type
contemplated by the Company, there is no assurance the Company will be
successful in completing any such business combination. As of the date of this
prospectus, Mr. Hodges has been or currently is involved with 130 shell
companies, approximately 110 of which are or will be seeking business
opportunities for mergers or acquisitions.
WE LIKELY WILL HAVE A CHANGE IN CONTROL AND MANAGEMENT FOLLOWING A BUSINESS
COMBINATION.
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 the Company. As a condition of the business combination
agreement, Mr. Hodges may agree to sell or transfer all or a portion of his
common stock to provide the target company with all or majority control of the
Company. The resulting change in control of the Company will occur without your
vote and will likely result in removal of Mr. Hodges as the present sole
officer and director of the Company and a corresponding reduction in or
elimination of his participation in the future affairs of the Company.
A BUSINESS COMBINATION WILL POSSIBLY DILUTE THE VALUE OF THE COMPANY'S SHARES.
A business combination normally will involve the issuance of a significant
number of additional shares of the Company's common stock. Depending upon the
value of the assets acquired in the business combination, the per share value
of the Company's common stock may increase or decrease, perhaps significantly.
THERE ARE STATE AND FEDERAL REGULATIONS WHICH MIGHT AFFECT THE TRANSFERABILITY
OF THE COMPANY'S SHARES.
The Company has not registered its shares for resale under the securities or
"blue sky" laws of any state and has no plans to register or qualify its shares
in any state. Current shareholders, and persons who desire to purchase the
shares in any trading market that may develop in the future, should be aware
that there may be significant state restrictions upon the ability of new
investors to purchase the securities.
Blue sky laws, regulations, orders, or interpretations place limitations on
offerings or sales of securities by "blank check" companies, or in "blind-pool"
offerings, or if such securities represent "cheap stock" previously issued to
promoters or others. These limitations typically provide, in the form of one or
more of the following limitations, that such securities are:
o not eligible for sale under exemption provisions permitting
sales without registration to accredited investors or
qualified purchasers;
7
<PAGE> 8
o not eligible for the transactional exemption from
registration for nonissuer transactions by a registered
broker-dealer;
o not eligible for registration under the simplified small
corporate offering registration (SCOR) form available in many
states;
o not eligible for the "solicitations of interest" exception to
securities registration requirements available in many
states;
o required to be placed in escrow and the proceeds received
held in escrow subject to various limitations; or
o not permitted to be registered or exempted from registration,
and thus not permitted to be sold in the state under any
circumstances.
Virtually all 50 states have adopted one or more of these limitations, or other
limitations or restrictions affecting the sale or resale of stock of blank
check companies, or securities sold in "blind pool" offerings or "cheap stock"
issued to promoters or others. Specific limitations on offerings by blank check
companies (or companies meeting such a definition, i.e., having no current
business operations and no specific business plan or purpose) have been adopted
in:
<TABLE>
<S> <C> <C>
Alaska Nevada Tennessee
Arkansas New Mexico Texas
California Ohio Utah
Delaware Oklahoma Vermont
Florida Oregon Washington
Georgia Pennsylvania
Idaho Rhode Island
Indiana South Carolina
Nebraska South Dakota
</TABLE>
The Company's selling efforts, and any secondary trading market which may
develop, may only be conducted in those jurisdictions where an applicable
exemption is available or where the shares have been registered. The Company
has no current plan to register its shares in any state and does not anticipate
doing so until after the consummation of a merger or acquisition, after which
it will no longer be classified as a blank check company. The Company has not
taken, and does not contemplate taking, any steps to ensure compliance with
state securities laws.
There also may be restrictions on resale of the shares under federal law. The
Division of Corporation Finance of the SEC is of the view that none of the
shares of the Company are `freely transferable,' but the SEC itself has not
officially expressed any views on this matter.

<PAGE> 9
A BUSINESS COMBINATION MAY RESULT IN UNFAVORABLE TAXATION TO THE COMPANY.
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 which may have an adverse effect on
both parties to the transaction and their shareholders.
ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OR PLAN OF OPERATION.
PLAN OF OPERATIONS - GENERAL
The Company was organized for the purpose of creating a corporate vehicle to
seek, investigate and, if such investigation warrants, acquire an interest in
one or more business opportunities presented to it by persons or firms who or
which desire to seek perceived advantages of a publicly held corporation. At
this time, the Company has no plan, proposal, agreement, understanding or
arrangement to acquire or merge with any specific business or company, and the
Company has not identified any specific business or company for investigation
and evaluation. Mr. Hodges, the Company's sole officer and director, has not
had any material discussions with any company with respect to the acquisition
of that company.
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. Our discussion of the proposed business of the
Company is purposefully general and is meant to demonstrate the Company's
virtually unlimited discretion to search for and enter into potential business
opportunities.
SOURCES OF OPPORTUNITIES
The Company does not intend to actively seek out investors. Rather, the Company
seeks to merge with or acquire assets or shares of an entity which is already
actively engaged in a business that generates revenues, in exchange for the
Company's common stock. Mr. Hodges expects that upon successful regulatory
clearance of this Form 10-SB, he will be contacted by a number of target
companies.
In addition, the Company anticipates that business opportunities will be
referred to it by various sources, including Mr. Hodges, professional advisers,
securities broker-dealers, venture capitalists, members of the financial
community, and others who may present unsolicited proposals. The Company will
seek a potential business opportunity from all known sources, but
9
<PAGE> 10
will rely principally on personal contacts of Mr. Hodges as well as indirect
associations between him and other business and professional people. We can not
predict the number of individuals or companies who may approach Mr. Hodges
about the Company.
The Company will not enter into a business combination with a company in which
Mr. Hodges or his affiliates or associates has a current ownership interest.
However, there is no policy, corporate bylaw or shareholder resolution
prohibiting the Company from merging or acquiring a business, asset or company
in which any potential promoter, affiliate or associate of the Company or Mr.
Hodges has any direct or indirect ownership.
The Company does not currently plan to engage professional firms specializing
in business acquisitions or reorganizations; however the Company has not
formulated any policy regarding the use of consultants or outside advisors. In
addition, the Company has not, and does not intend to, advertise in search of
business opportunities. However, the Company may, in the future, advertise and
promote itself in financial newspapers, magazines and on the Internet.
The Company may seek a business opportunity with a firm that only recently
commenced operations, or a developing company in need of additional funds for
expansion into new products or markets, or an established company seeking a
public vehicle. In some instances, a business opportunity may involve the
acquisition or merger with a corporation which does not need substantial
additional cash but which desires to establish a public trading market for its
common stock. The Company may purchase assets and establish wholly owned
subsidiaries in various businesses or purchase existing businesses as
subsidiaries.
The Company anticipates that its selection of a business opportunity in which
to participate may be complex and extremely risky. Because of general economic
conditions, rapid technological advances being made in some industries and
shortages of available capital, Mr. Hodges believes that there are numerous
firms seeking the benefits of a publicly traded corporation like the Company.
The perceived benefits of a publicly traded corporation may include
facilitating or improving the terms on which additional equity financing may be
sought, providing liquidity for the principals of a business, creating a means
for providing incentive stock options or similar benefits to key employees,
providing liquidity (subject to restrictions of applicable statues) for all
shareholders, and other factors. Potentially available business opportunities
may occur in many different industries and at various stages of development,
all of which will make the task of comparative investigation and analysis of
such business opportunities extremely difficult and complex.
The Company has, and will continue to have, insufficient capital with which to
provide the owners of potential target companies with any significant cash or
other assets. However, Mr. Hodges believes the Company will offer owners of
business opportunities the opportunity to acquire a controlling ownership
interest in a public company at substantially less cost than is required to
conduct an initial public offering. The owners of the business opportunities
will, however, incur significant post-merger or acquisition registration costs
in the event they wish to register a portion of their shares for subsequent
sale. The target company will also incur significant legal and accounting costs
in connection with the business combination including the costs of preparing
post-effective amendments, Forms 8-K, agreements and related reports and
10
<PAGE> 11
documents. However, Mr. Hodges has not conducted market research and is not
aware of statistical data which would support the perceived benefits of a
merger or acquisition transaction for the owners of a business opportunity.
EVALUATION OF OPPORTUNITIES
The analysis of new business opportunities will be undertaken by, or under the
supervision of, Mr. Hodges. Mr. Hodges will be the key person in the search,
review and negotiation with potential acquisition or merger candidates. While
Mr. Hodges likely has no quantifiable experience in the businesses of any
particular target companies that may be reviewed, he has experience in managing
development stage companies similar to the Company. Mr. Hodges will rely upon
his own efforts in accomplishing the business purposes of the Company. Mr.
Hodges is currently employed in other positions and will devote only a nominal
portion of his time to the business affairs of the Company, until such time as
an acquisition has been determined to be highly favorable. After that time,
however, Mr. Hodges expects to spend full time in investigating and closing any
acquisition. In addition, in the face of competing demands for his time, Mr.
Hodges may grant priority to his other positions rather than to the Company.
For example, in analyzing prospective business opportunities, Mr. Hodges will
consider the following matters:
o the available technical, financial and managerial resources;
working capital and other financial requirements of the
target;
o the target's history of operations, if any;
o the target's prospects for the future;
o the present and expected competition in the target's
industry;
o the quality and experience of management services which may
be available and the depth of that management within the
target;
o the potential for further research, development or
exploration in the target's industry;
o specific risk factors which may be anticipated to impact the
proposed activities of the Company;
o the potential for growth or expansion and profit;
o the perceived public recognition or acceptance of products,
services or trades of the target and the industry and brand
or name identification; and
o all other relevant factors.
Mr. Hodges and/or his legal and financial advisers intend to meet personally
with management and key personnel of the firm sponsoring the business
opportunity as part of their investigation. To the extent possible, the Company
intends to utilize written reports and personal investigation to evaluate the
above factors. Mr. Hodges will personally pay for his meetings and expenses
while he is evaluating opportunities and he will not be reimbursed by the
Company for his time or expenses. The Company will not acquire or merge with
any company for which audited financial statements cannot be obtained.
Mr. Hodges is currently involved in promoting approximately 110 blank check
companies, many of which have registered their shares with the SEC under the
Securities and Exchange Act of
11
<PAGE> 12
1934. All of these companies are in various stages of searching for merger or
acquisition opportunities, and thus, there are potential inherent conflicts of
interest in Mr. Hodges' acting as officer and director of the Company and these
other companies. See Item 5 "Directors, Executive Officers, Promoters and
Control Persons" for a listing of companies in which Mr. Hodges is involved.
Insofar as he is engaged in other business activities, Mr. Hodges anticipates
he will devote only a nominal amount of time to the Company's affairs. In
addition, Mr. Hodges may in the future become a shareholder, officer or
director of other companies which may be formed for the purpose of engaging in
business activities similar to those conducted by the Company. Accordingly,
additional direct conflicts of interest may arise in the future with respect to
such other entities.
The Company does not currently have a right of first refusal pertaining to
opportunities that come to Mr. Hodges' attention insofar as such opportunities
may relate to the Company's proposed business operations. Mr. Hodges will
consider merger and/or acquisition opportunities and intends to make them
available to the Company and the companies that he is affiliated with on an
equal basis and in his sole discretion. The Company has not adopted any
conflict of interest policy with respect to these types of transactions. If a
situation arises in which more than one company with which Mr. Hodges is
involved desires to merge with or acquire a specific target company and the
principals of the proposed target company have no preference as to which
company will merge or acquire the target company, the company that first filed
a registration statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission will be
entitled to proceed with the proposed transaction.
ACQUISITION OF OPPORTUNITIES
The Company does not intend to make any loans to any prospective merger or
acquisition candidates or unaffiliated third parties. However, as is customary
in the industry, the Company may pay a finder's fee for persons locating and
introducing an acquisition prospect. In the event the Company consummates a
transaction with an entity introduced by a finder, we may compensate the finder
for the referral in the form of a finder's fee. If a finder's fee is paid, we
anticipate that the finder's fee will be either in the form of restricted
common stock issued by the Company as part of the terms of the proposed
transaction, or in the form of cash consideration. If the finder's fee is paid
in the form of common stock, the Board of Directors will approve this issuance.
If the finder's fee is in the form of cash, the payment will have to be
tendered by the acquisition or merger candidate because the Company has
insufficient cash available to make any fee payment. If any such fee is paid,
it will be approved by the Company's Board of Directors and will be in
accordance with the industry standards. Such fees are customarily between 1%
and 5% of the size of the transaction, based upon a sliding scale of the dollar
amount involved. These fees are typically in the range of 5% on a $1,000,000
transaction ratably down to 1% in a $4,000,000 transaction.
As part of any transaction, the acquired company may require that Mr. Hodges or
other shareholders of the Company sell all or a portion of their shares to the
acquired company, or to the principals of the acquired company. The sales price
of these shares may be lower than the anticipated market price of the Company's
common stock at that time. The Company's shareholders will not be provided the
opportunity to approve or consent to such sale.
12
<PAGE> 13
Mr. Hodges may actively negotiate for the purchase of his common stock as a
condition to or in connection with a proposed merger or acquisition
transaction. Any terms of a sale of Mr. Hodges' shares may not be afforded to
other shareholders of the Company. The opportunity to sell all or a portion of
his shares in connection with an acquisition may influence Mr. Hodges' decision
to enter into a specific transaction. However, Mr. Hodges believes that since
the anticipated sales price will potentially be less than market value, the
potential of a stock sale will be a material factor in any decision to enter a
specific transaction. This description of potential sales of Mr. Hodges' stock
is not based upon any corporate bylaw, shareholder or board resolution, or
contract or agreement. No other payments of cash or property are expected to be
received by Mr. Hodges in connection with any acquisition.
In implementing a structure for a particular business acquisition, the Company
may become a party to a merger, consolidation, reorganization, joint venture,
franchise or licensing agreement with the target corporation. The Company may
also purchase stock or assets of the existing business. On the consummation of
a transaction, it is likely that the present management and shareholders of the
Company will not be in control of the Company. Mr. Hodges may, as part of the
terms of the acquisition transaction, resign and be replaced by new officers
and directors without a vote of the Company's shareholders. Except as may be
required by state or federal securities law applicable to the particular form
of transfer, the Company does not intend to provide its shareholders with any
complete disclosure documents, including a proxy statement and/or audited
financial statements, concerning an acquisition or merger candidate and its
business prior to the consummation of any acquisition or merger transaction.
A potential target might insist that the Company issue the target shares of the
Company's common stock as part of the business combination. We believe that any
stock that the Company might issue in any reorganization would be issued in
reliance on exemptions from registration under applicable federal and state
securities laws. In some circumstances, however, as a negotiated element of
this transaction, the Company may agree to register the shares either at the
time the transaction is consummated, under certain conditions or at specified
time thereafter. The issuance of substantial additional shares of stock and
their potential sale into any trading market in the Company's common stock may
have a dilutive and depressive effect on such trading market.
While the actual terms of a transaction to which the Company may be a party
cannot be predicted, we expect that the parties to the business combination
will want to avoid the creation of a taxable event and structure the
acquisition in a so called "tax free" reorganization under Sections 368(a)(1)
or 351 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. In order to obtain
tax-free treatment, it may be necessary for the owners of the acquired business
to own 80% or more of the voting stock of the surviving entity. In this event,
the shareholders of the Company, including past and current investors, would
retain less than 20% of the issued and outstanding shares of the surviving
entity, which could result in significant dilution in the equity of such
shareholders. However, treatment as a tax free reorganization will not be a
condition of any future business combination and if it is not the case, the
Company will not obtain an opinion of counsel that the reorganization will be
tax free.

The Company will not have sufficient funds (unless it is able to raise funds in
a private placement) to undertake any significant development, marketing and
manufacturing of any products which it may acquire. The Company does not intend
to raise any funds, via private placement or otherwise, prior to the
effectiveness of a merger or acquisition. Upon the merger or acquisition, the
Company intends to obtain funds in one or more private placements to finance
the operation of the acquired business. Persons purchasing securities in these
placements and other shareholders may not have the opportunity to participate
in the decision relating to any acquisition. The Company's proposed business is
sometimes referred to as a blank check because any investors will entrust their
investment to the Company's management before they have a chance to analyze any
ultimate use to which their money may be put. Accordingly, the Company would
probably be required to give up a substantial portion of its interest in any
acquired product. We cannot assure you that the Company will be able either to
obtain additional financing or interest third parties in providing funding for
the further development, marketing and manufacturing of any products acquired.
We believe that the investigation of specific business opportunities and the
negotiation, drafting and execution of relevant agreements, disclosure
documents and other instruments will require substantial time, attention and
costs for accountants, attorneys and others. If the Company and/or the target
business decide not to participate in a specific business opportunity, the
costs incurred in the related investigation would not be recoverable. In
addition, following the merger the target company will incur additional
expenses of complying with the annual and periodic reporting requirements
included in the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. These will include legal,
accounting, printing, filing and related costs.
ITEM 3. DESCRIPTION OF PROPERTY.

There have been no recent sales of the Company's securities. As noted above, in
connection with organizing the Company, on November 4, 1997, persons consisting

relied upon Section 4(2) of the Securities Act. On October 20, 1999, those
outstanding shares were forward split 1,000 to 1, resulting in a total of
1,000,000 shares outstanding.
ITEM 5. INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS.
The Wyoming Business Incorporation Act allows a company to indemnify an
individual who is a party to a proceeding because he is a director if (a) he
conducted himself in good faith, (b) he reasonably believed that his conduct
was in or at least not opposed to the company's best interest
26
<PAGE> 27
and, (c) in the case of any criminal proceeding, he had no reasonable cause to
believe his conduct was unlawful or (d) he engaged in conduct for which broader
indemnification has been made permissible or obligatory under a provision of
the articles of incorporation. The Act also provides that, unless ordered by a
court, a company may not indemnify a director (a) in connection with a
proceeding by the company, except for reasonable expenses incurred if it is
determined that the director met the above standards of conduct or (b) in
connection with any proceeding in which he was adjudged liable for receiving
financial benefits to which he was not entitled.
The Act also allows a company to indemnify an officer who is not also a
director to the same extent as a director and to such further extent as may be
provided in the articles of incorporation, the by-laws, a contract, or a
resolution of the board of directors. A company may not, however, indemnify an
officer against liability arising from (a) a proceeding by the company, except
for reasonable expenses incurred in connection with the proceeding, (b) receipt
of financial benefits to which the officer is not entitled, (c) an intentional
infliction of harm on the company or its shareholders, or (d) an intentional
violation of criminal law.
The Company's Articles of Incorporation state that no director or officer of
the Company shall be personally liable to the Company or any of its
stockholders for damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director or officer
involving any act or omission of any such director or officer. This provision,
however, shall not eliminate or limit the liability of a director or officer
for (a) acts or omissions which involve intentional misconduct, fraud or a
knowing violation of law, (b) the payment of dividends in violation of Section
17-16-833 of the Wyoming Statutes, (c) any breach of the director's duty of
loyalty, as defined by the Wyoming Business Incorporation Act, to the Company
or its shareholders or (d) any transaction from which the officer or director
derived an improper personal benefit. Any repeal or modification of this
Article by the Company's shareholders shall be prospective only.
The Company's By-Laws provide that the Company shall indemnify, to the fullest
extent not prohibited by Wyoming General Corporation law, its present and
former directors and officers, as well as any person who is serving, or has
served, at the request of the Company as a director or officer of another
corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise. Prior to a
final disposition, the Company shall advance to any director or officer who has
been named, or has been threatened to be named, as a party to any threatened,
pending, or completed action, suit, or proceeding due to his present or former
status as a director or officer of the Company all expenses actually and
necessarily incurred, provided that the Company is in receipt of an undertaking
by or on behalf of such person to repay said amounts if it should be ultimately
determined that such person is not entitled to indemnification under these
By-Laws or otherwise. However, no advance shall be made by the Company to an
officer, unless he or she is or was a director, in any action, suit or
proceeding if it is reasonably and promptly determined by (a) the Board of
directors by a majority vote of a quorum consisting of directors who are not
parties to the action, suit or proceeding or (b) an independent legal counsel
in a written opinion, at the direction of a quorum of disinterested directors,
that such person acted in bad faith or in a manner that such person did not
believe to be in the best interests of the Company. The Company shall not be
required to indemnify any director or officer against any proceeding initiated
by such person unless (a) such indemnification is expressly required by law,
(b) the
27
<PAGE> 28
proceeding was authorized by the Board of Directors of the Company, (c) such
indemnification is provided by the Company in its sole discretion or (d) such
indemnification is required to be made under the By-Laws.
Rights to indemnification under these By-Laws shall be deemed to be contractual
rights that may be modified through individual contracts with the Company's
directors and officers. No such contracts have been made as of the date of the
filing of this Form 10-SB. These rights shall not be deemed exclusive of any
other rights which those indemnified may have or later acquire under any
statute, provision of the Articles of Incorporation, provision of the By-Laws,
agreement, vote of stockholders, or otherwise. These rights shall continue to
one who has ceased to be a director or officer and shall inure to the benefit
of the heirs, executors, and administrators of such a person.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT
Freedom Financial Corporation
(A Development Stage Company)
We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of Freedom Financial
Corporation (a development stage company) as of September 30, 1999 and 1998,
and the related statements of operations, and cash flows for the two years
ended September 30, 1999 and the statement of stockholders' equity from July
11, 1997 (inception) to September 30, 1999. 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 audits.
We conducted our audits 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 audits provide 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 Freedom Financial
Corporation (a development stage company) as of September 30, 1999 and 1998,
and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the two years ended
September 30, 1999 in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

FOR THE YEARS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 1999 AND 1998
NOTE 1 - ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
This summary of accounting policies for Freedom Financial Corporation
is presented to assist in understanding the Company's financial statements. The
accounting policies conform to generally accepted accounting principles and
have been consistently applied in the preparation of the financial statements.
Organization and Basis of Presentation
The Company was incorporated under the laws of the State of Wyoming on
July 11, 1997. The Company ceased all operating activities during the period
from July 11, 1997 to October 20, 1999 and was considered dormant. Since
October 20, 1999, the Company is in the development stage, and has not
commenced planned principal operations.
Nature of Business
The Company has no products or services as of September 30, 1999. The
Company was organized as a vehicle to seek merger or acquisition candidates.
The Company intends to acquire interests in various business opportunities,
which in the opinion of management will provide a profit to the Company.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
For purposes of the statement of cash flows, the Company considers all
highly liquid debt instruments purchased with a maturity of three months or
less to be cash equivalents to the extent the funds are not being held for
investment purposes.
Pervasiveness of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles required management to make estimates and
assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and
disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial
statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the
reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

</TABLE>
The effect of outstanding common stock equivalents would be
anti-dilutive for September 30, 1999 and 1998 and are thus not considered.
NOTE 2 - INCOME TAXES
As of September 30, 1999, the Company had a net operating loss
carryforward for income tax reporting purposes of approximately $1,000 that may
be offset against future taxable income through 2011. Current tax laws limit
the amount of loss available to be offset against future taxable income when a
substantial change in ownership occurs. Therefore, the amount available to
offset future taxable income may be limited. No tax benefit has been reported
in the financial statements, because the Company believes there is a 50% or
greater chance the carryforwards will expire unused. Accordingly, the potential
tax benefits of the loss carryforwards are offset by a valuation allowance of
the same amount.

NOTE 3 - DEVELOPMENT STAGE COMPANY
The Company has not begun principal operations and as is common with a
development stage company, the Company has had recurring losses during its
development stage.
NOTE 4 - COMMITMENTS
As of September 30, 1999 all activities of the Company have been
conducted by corporate officers from either their homes or business offices.
Currently, there are no outstanding debts owed by the company for the use of
these facilities and there are no commitments for future use of the facilities.
NOTE 5 - STOCK SPLIT
On October 20, 1999 the Board of Directors authorized 1,000 to 1 stock
split, changed the authorized number of shares to 100,000,000 shares and the
par value to $.001 for the Company's common stock. As a result of the split,
999,000 shares were issued. All references in the accompanying financial
statements to the number of common shares and per-share amounts for 1999 and
1998 have been restated to reflect the stock split.
