PART I

ITEM 1 -- BUSINESS.

General

Augrid of Nevada, Inc., hereinafter referred to as the "Company," "Augrid", or "AGRD" was organized by the filing of articles of incorporation with the Secretary of State of the State of Nevada on August 4, 1995. The Company was formerly known as Ironwood Ventures, Inc., hereinafter referred to as "Ironwood," and changed its name in March of 1998 after a change of control. The original articles of incorporation of the Company authorized the issuance of seven million five hundred thousand (7,500,000) shares of Common Stock at a par value of $0.01. The articles of the Company were amended on March 2, 1998, and the Company's amended articles authorized the issuance of ninety million (90,000,000) shares of Common Stock at a par value of $0.001 per share and ten million (10,000,000) shares of Preferred Stock at a par value of $0.001 per share.

The Company is a developmental stage company with a business objective to develop, acquire and manage development stage technologies that assist in the process of developing proprietary flat panel display technology. The Company, although in its development stages, is currently a minority-owned research and development company which has ownership of what management of the Company believes is the first truly operational flat panel display technology. The Company believes that the uniqueness of its proprietary technology lies with the incorporation of a proprietary ceramic backplane which the Company's management believes will allow manufacturers to overcome pricing, power and size obstacles currently facing all other manufacturers in the flat panel display industry.

The Company designates as its priorities for its next approximately twelve (12) months of operations as developing and emphasizing its flat panel display technology to the point where production of a flat panel display product off of an assembly line is possible. The Company believes that if it is successful in accomplishing this goal - assuming that a competitor cannot develop a similar product or technology with the same power consumption, clarity and size, utilizing a different technology - over the next approximately twelve (12) months, that the Company will have enough time to create brand loyalty and a sizeable market share allowing the Company to produce competitive flat panel technology products at competitive profit margins. Of this, however, the Company can give no assurance.

On March 12, 1998, the Company entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement to purchase all of the technology and assets, including machinery and equipment, furniture and fixtures, office equipment, cash, accounts receivable, investments, and deposits of Augrid Corporation ("Augrid Delaware"), a Delaware corporation, for 1,000,000 newly issued common shares of the Company.

Strategy

Industry Distribution Patterns

The Company expects that the ultimate distribution of its small and large video billboard displays will be through direct sales efforts. The Company believes that it will be able to enter into a joint venture marketing agreement whereby the Company would manufacture the video billboard, the billboard joint venture partner would secure the clients, and the partners would share in the net advertising proceeds equally, i.e., fifty percent (50%) each. The Company has yet to secure a joint venture agreement, however, Augrid's management believes that it will be able to secure such a joint venture partnership once it begins to manufacture its video billboard products. Management of the Company does not expect to begin to manufacture this type of product, though, in the next approximately twelve (12) months of operations.

Promotion Strategy

The Company's long range goal - over the next thirty-six (36) months - is to garner enough visibility to support its eventual product line into other domestic industries, as well as foreign markets. To accomplish this goal, the Company plans on effectuating the following over the next approximately thirty-six (36) months: (i) retain the services of a public relations firm, which is intended to generate awareness of editors and product information insertions and reviews; (ii) advertise via a concerted advertising effort in various trade publications and business magazines; (iii) the Company plans on experimenting with various trade-related publications and business magazines, while keeping careful track of the results in order to maximize the return of its advertising dollars spent; and (iv) attend many of the most important technological trade shows throughout the United States and internationally in order to promote its to-be-introduced products and technology.

Sales Programs

The Company's direct sales efforts during the next approximately twenty-four (24) months will focus on the following:

* Dealer Sales - The Company plans to sell directly to the following Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs). However, it currently has no agreement(s) with such OEMs and does not expect any orders over the next approximately twelve (12) months.

* Hiring a Vice President of Sales and Marketing - The Company believes that this member of its team will be a key sales executive; the Company plans on filling this position in the next approximately twelve (12) months; this key executive will be in charge of establishing a more detailed marketing plan for the Company, and as the Company's anticipated product line and related technology offerings expand, this individual will be in charge of the additional marketing and related staff the Company believes it will need to hire.

* Manufacturers' Representatives - The Company's management believes that these individuals may be able to help the Company expand into major domestic and international markets.

Products

The Company is currently involved in the research, development and manufacture of flat panel display technology utilizing the Thin Cathode Ray Tube (TCRT). The Company's currently contemplated product line includes, but is not limited to, video billboards, television monitors, computer monitors, laptops, medical monitors and various types of military applications. The Company plans to launch software offerings related to the Company's technology and product offerings including a line of main productivity applications, utilities and networking software that will operate in conjunction with the flat panel display and related hardware and products

As of the date of this statement, however, the Company is in the research and development stage only. The Company has yet to manufacture its first prototype TCRT, and any subsequent technology, product or service introductions by the Company are fully dependent on the Company's successful manufacture and completion of its first TCRT. Additionally, the Company is relying completely on Ceravision Limited to develop and produce its first prototypes. From that point, the Company expects to introduce new product and service offerings related to the Company's proprietary technology developed by Ceravision.

The market for the Company's technology, products and services is highly competitive. The Company believes that the principal competitive factors in its business include capital resources, technology, research and development spending, product performance, time to market for new product and technology introductions, adherence to flat panel industry and related manufacturing standards, price and marketing and distribution resources. There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to compete successfully against potential competitors, and competitive pressures faced by the Company may have a material adverse effect on the Company's business, prospects, financial condition and results of operations.

Status of Any Announced New Product

The Company has four (4) product lines that are beyond the research and development stage and that are ready for commercialization. These product lines were initially developed by Ceravision Limited, through an Exclusive Research and Development Agreement the Company had with Ceravision. At this time, the Company is in the process of renegotiating its global exclusive licensing agreement with Ceravision. The purpose of these negotiations is to enable the Company to manufacture the above-mentioned product lines for the military and consumer electronics industry. While the Company believes that it will be successful in re-obtaining its exclusive licensing agreement with Ceravision, there can be no guarantee that this will be the case. Any failure of the Company to successfully renegotiate its licensing agreement with Ceravision will likely have a material adverse financial affect on the Company.

The Company plans to eventually develop and manufacturer ceramic substrates (Laptop Backplanes), packages and multi-layer ceramic interconnects for the commercial computer/electronics market. The Company, however, has yet to begin development of this product beyond the research and development stage. Additionally, the Company hopes to develop and introduce other technologies and products to the marketplace over the next four (4) years related to flat panel displays and related product and technology areas. The Company, however, has yet to announce any specific new products, services or technologies in addition to those existing products and technologies described in this information statement.

Industry Background

The growth of flat panel display sales is being accelerated by the emerging portable consumer electronic products market as evidenced by the proliferation of video view-cams portable video games, hand held TV sets, video displays mounted in the rear seats of automobile vans and personal digital assistants.

Management of the Company believes that the Thin Cathode Ray Tube (TCRT) market is large, well defined and rapidly developing. While flat panel display sales continue to grow, the Company believes that most customers are dissatisfied with the cost, performance and availability tradeoffs inherent in the current portable display technology. This dissatisfaction - in management's opinion - creates an opportunity for the Company's products and technology.

In the market segment of portable video systems, balancing power consumption against demand for higher display performance has become a major design issue. Nearly all other computer components can be included in low power, slim profile systems, with the display demanding a major portion of the power, cost and size budgets. New LCD's have been introduced which feature enhanced color and video rates, but with significant power, thickness and cost penalties.

Research and Development Activities

The market for the Company's products and technology is characterized by frequent technological advances, evolving industry standards and escalating customer expectations. As a result, management believes that the Company's future growth and success will be largely dependent on its ability to develop internally, through research and development, or acquire externally, from third parties, products and technology to meet the evolving needs of its prospective clients. The Company anticipates that the long-term success of its product and technology offerings will require further product and technology development.

In the past approximately three and one half (3 1/2) years, Ceravision UK, Limited, a pure display research and development company, has engaged the Rutherford Appleton Laboratory in the science of field emission device technology, in combination with certain proprietary ceramic technology for the express purposes of completing research and development work for application specific displays. It is that reason that Augrid of Nevada, Inc. engaged Ceravision, Ltd., to license and acquire application specific technologies, i.e., desktop monitors, automobile GPS screens and military application screens. Presently, the Company has four product lines completed and positioned for manufacturing in the United States of America.

Employees

As a start up company in the research and development phase - in order to more prudently manage the Company's limited resources the Company presently has two (2) full time employees and no (0) part time employees. The Company's employees are currently not represented by a collective bargaining agreement, and the Company believes that its relations with its employees is good.

ITEM 6 -- MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OR PLAN OF OPERATION.

FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS

The statements contained in this report that are not historical facts are forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act. Forward-looking statements are made based upon management's current expectations and beliefs concerning future developments and their potential effects upon the Company. There can be no assurance that future developments affecting the Company will be those anticipated by management. Actual results may differ materially from those included in the forward-looking statements.

Readers are also directed to other risks and uncertainties discussed in other documents filed by the Company with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The Company undertakes no obligation to update or revise any forward-looking information, whether as a result of new information, future developments or otherwise.

Overview

The Company was organized August 4, 1995, and is considered to be a developmental stage company developing and assisting in the process of developing proprietary flat panel display technology. The Company has a limited operating history and has not generated revenues from its operations. Augrid's activities have been limited to start-up procedures. Consequently, the Company has incurred the expenses of such procedures. Future operating results will depend on many factors, including its ability to raise adequate working capital, demand for its services, the level of competition and its ability to satisfy governmental regulations and deliver its products while maintaining quality and controlling costs.

Plan of Operation

Management of the Company believes that the need for additional capital going forward will be derived somewhat from internal revenues and earnings generated from the sale of its proposed products and technologies. If the Company is unable to generate revenues from such products and technologies, however, management believes the Company will need to raise additional funds to meet its cash requirements. It is the intent of the Company to seek to raise additional capital via a private placement offering, once the Company is trading on the OTC-BB. In the meantime, management of the Company plans to advance funds to the Company on an as-needed basis, although there is no definitive or legally binding arrangement to do so. The Company currently has no arrangements or commitments for accounts and accounts receivable financing. There can be no assurance that any such financing can be obtained or, if obtained that it will be on reasonable terms. This is a development stage company. The Company believes that its initial revenues will be primarily dependent upon the Company's ability to cost effectively and efficiently develop a viable flat-panel display technology. The Company designates as its priorities for the next twelve (12) months of operations as developing and marketing its products and technology to establish its business in the flat-panel display industry. Realization of sales of the Company's products and technology during the fiscal year ending December 31, 2000 is vital to its plan of operations. There are no guarantees that the Company will be able to compete successfully or that the competitive pressures the Company may face will not have a material adverse effect on the Company's business, results of operations and financial condition. Additionally, a superior competitive product, service or technology could force the Company out of business.

Results of Operations

Period from January 31, 1999 to December 31, 1999.

The operational period from January 31, 1999 to December 31, 1999, achieved two (2) main goals for the Corporation. The Company's goals were the formation of the organization to pursue the Company's business objective and to obtain sufficient capital to develop and assist in the development of flat-panel display technology.

Revenues. Augrid of Nevada is a developmental stage company as defined in SFAS #7. The Company has not generated any revenues to date. The Company has devoted substantially all of its present efforts to: (1) developing its technology in the flat-panel display market, (2) seeking strategic alliances to obtain assistance with the development of flat-panel technology and (3) maintaining its 12(g) reporting requirements with the Securities Act of 1934 and its commencement of trading on the NASD Over-the-Counter Bulletin Board ("OTC-BB").

Expenses. The Company incurred expenses for the operating period January 31, 1999 to December 31, 1999, totaling $534,719. Expenditures were primarily due to costs incurred for professional fees, services and general and administrative expenses. The Company's professional and service expenses were incurred from its public listing process on the NASD's OTC-BB which included the process of the public offering in the State of Nevada, state Blue Sky registrations, attorneys' fees, escrow and EDGARization costs related to the offering, and audits and public filing costs.

Net Loss. Due to the significant operating expenses, Augrid of Nevada experienced a net loss of $535,719. The Company anticipated incurring this loss during the initial commencement of operations until such time that it will realize revenues from flat-panel display technology in the fiscal year 2000.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

The Company has generated no revenues during this period and it is unknown when it will generate significant revenues. It is anticipated that the Company will realize revenues from its services during the next twelve (12) months, of which the Company cannot guarantee. The receipt of funds from Private Placement Offerings or loans obtained through private and public sources by Augrid of Nevada may be anticipated to offset its near term cash equivalents for the next twelve (12) months. The Company has financed its cash flow requirements through issuance of common stock, preferred stock and debentures. During its normal course of business, the Company may experience net positive cash flows from operations, attributable to the issuance of notes payable and capital stock, pending receipt of revenues. Further, the Company may be required to obtain additional financing to fund operations through further common or preferred stock offerings, bank borrowings and loans, to the extent available, or to obtain additional financing to the extent necessary to augment its working capital.

Year 2000 Issue

The Company uses computer software programs and operating systems in its internal operations, including applications used in financial business systems and various administrative functions. Although the Company's software applications contain source code that appropriately interpreted the calendar year 2000, failure by the Company to make any future modifications resulting from "Year 2000" could result in systems interruptions or failures that could have a material adverse effect on the Company's business. The Company has not incurred, nor anticipates that it will incur material expenses to make its computer software programs and operating systems "Year 2000" compliant. However, there can be no assurance that unanticipated costs necessary to update software, or potential systems interruptions, will not exceed the Company's expectations and have a material adverse effect on the Company's business, financial condition and results of operations. In addition, failure by key service providers to the Company, such as its Web hosting service provider to make any future modifications resulting from "Year 2000" could result in systems interruptions or failures that could have a material adverse effect on the Company's business.
