PART I
Item 1. Description of Business.
TransWave Corporation ("TransWave" or the "Company") was incorporated
in Delaware October 27, 1998. Its goal is to become one of the leading Internet
Service Providers in the US and will be primarily focused on high-bandwidth
commercial Internet users, complex multi-site WAN servicing, and dialup Internet
access. Specializing in reliable high-speed direct connections, TransWave will
seek to provide the best possible Internet solutions, service and support.
TransWave intends to form a strategic alliance with an as of yet
unknown company that will provide seminars and intensive training courses on the
Internet, including WWW design. It will also specialize in computer integration,
network administration, graphic art and web site design.
With TransWaves solid base of technical experience, practical business
sense, and personal integrity, TransWave will provide the highest quality access
Internet in the US. As a full service Provider, its customers will connect via
dial-up analog lines, ISDN service, and leased-lines. It will also offer
business to business connections.
TransWave will differ from other providers in a number of ways,
including: TransWave will guarantee no more than 10 users per modem - to
eliminate busy signals TransWave will not "share" or over-sell its
infrastructure as do some providers. TransWave intends to own and manage all its
own equipment - the customer will never be caught in a circus of the ISP blaming
an outsourcing agency for any connection difficulties the customer may have.
TransWave will not deliver degraded performance to its customers as a
solution to insufficient capital investment. It intends to connect directly at
multi-megabit speeds to the Cable & Wireless and GTE/UUnet Internet Backbones.
TransWave will provide professional business communications. It will operate its
equipment and network 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year. It will
continuously monitor its equipment and communication lines to detect any faults.
TransWave will be committed to bringing the best and latest
technologies to the market at the earliest possible time. And lastly, it will
never take long to get a real human being on the phone for help!

Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis or Plan of Operation.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The following discussion and analysis below should be read in
conjunction with the financial statements, including the notes thereto,

net loss of ($1,096).
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND LIQUIDITY

shares of Common Stock for net proceeds of $1,018.00.
Item 3. Description of Property.
The Company's executive and administrative offices are located at 22147

TransWave is authorized to issue 8,000,000 shares of "blank check"
preferred stock, par value $0.001 per share, in one or more series from time to
time with such designations, rights and preferences as may be determined from
time to time by the Board of Directors, including, but not limited to (i) the
designation of such series; (ii) the dividend rate of such series, the
conditions and dates upon which such dividends shall be payable, the relation
which such dividends shall bear to the dividends payable on any other class or
classes or series of TransWave's capital stock and whether such dividends shall
be cumulative or non-cumulative; (iii) whether the shares of such series shall
be subject to redemption for cash, property or rights, including securities of
any other corporation, by TransWave or upon the happening of a specified event
and, if made subject to any such redemption, the times or events, prices, rates,
adjustments and other terms and conditions of such redemptions; (iv) the terms

voting power or other rights of the holders of the common stock. In the event of
issuance, the preferred stock could be utilized, under certain circumstances, as

control of TransWave. TransWave does not currently intend to issue any shares of
its preferred stock.

valued at $18.00 in the aggregate. There was no underwriter or placement agent

Item 5. Indemnification of Directors and Officers.
TransWave's Restated Certificate of Incorporation limits the liability
of its directors to TransWave's corporate stockholders for monetary damages
arising from a breach of fiduciary duty owed to TransWave or TransWave's
stockholders to the fullest extent permitted by the Delaware General Corporation
Law.
TransWave's Restated Certificate of Incorporation and its Bylaws
provide for the indemnification by TransWave of each person (including the
heirs, executors, administrators, or estate of such person) who is or was a
director or officer of TransWave to the fullest extent permitted or authorized
by law, including attorneys' fees. Section 145 of the Delaware General
Corporation Law provides in relevant part that a corporation may indemnify any
person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any
threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil,
criminal, administrative or investigative (other than an action by or in the
right of the corporation) by reason of the fact that such person is or was a
director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation, or is or was serving at
the request of the corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of
another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise,
against expenses (including attorneys' fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid
in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by such person in connection with
such action, suit or proceeding if such person acted in good faith and in a
manner such person reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best
interests of the corporation, and, with respect to any criminal action or
proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe such person's conduct was
unlawful.
6
<PAGE>
In addition, Section 145 provides that a corporation may indemnify any
person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any
threatened, pending or completed action or suit by or in the right of the
corporation to procure a judgment in its favor by reason of the fact that such
person is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation, or
is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director, officer,
employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or
other enterprise against expenses (including attorneys' fees) actually and
reasonably incurred by such person in connection with the defense or settlement
of such action or suit if such person acted in good faith and in a manner such
person reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the
corporation and except that no indemnification shall be made in respect of any
claim, issue or matter as to which such person shall have been adjudged to be
liable to the corporation unless and only to the extent that the Delaware Court
of Chancery or the court in which such action or suit was brought shall
determine upon application that, despite the adjudication of liability but in
view of all the circumstances of the case, such person is fairly and reasonably
entitled to indemnity for such expenses which the Delaware Court of Chancery or
such other court shall deem proper. Delaware law further provides that nothing
in the above-described provisions shall be deemed exclusive of any other rights
to indemnification or advancement of expenses to which any person may be
entitled under any bylaw, agreement, vote of stockholders or disinterested
directors or otherwise.
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities
Act may be permitted to directors, officers, and controlling persons of
TransWave pursuant to the above statutory provisions or otherwise, TransWave has
been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such
indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and
is, therefore, unenforceable.
PART F/S
TransWave's balance sheet as of August 31, 1999 and the related
statements of operations, changes in stockholders' deficiency and cash flows for
the period from October 27, 1998 (inception) to August 31, 1999 have been

TRANSWAVE CORPORATION
(A DEVELOPMENT STAGE COMPANY)
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
AS OF AUGUST 31, 1999
NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
A. Organization and Business Operations
Transwave Corporation (a development stage company) ("the Company") was
incorporated in Delaware on October 27, 1998 to serve as a vehicle to
effect a merger, exchange of capital stock, asset acquisition or other
business combination with a domestic or foreign private business. At
August 31, 1999, the Company had not yet commenced any formal business
operations, and all activity to date relates to the Company's formation
and proposed fund raising.
The Company's ability to commence operations is contingent upon its
ability to identify a prospective target business and raise the capital
it will require through the issuance of equity securities, debt
securities, bank borrowings or a combination thereof.
B. Use of Estimates
The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles requires 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.
C. Cash and Cash Equivalents
For purposes of the statement of cash flows, the Company considers all
highly liquid investments purchased with an original maturity of three
months or less to be cash equivalents.
D. Income Taxes
The Company accounts for income taxes under the Financial Accounting
Standards Board Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 109,
Accounting for Income Taxes' ("Statement 109"). Under Statement 109,
deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax
consequences attributable to differences between the financial
statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their
respective tax basis. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured
using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the
years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered
or settled. Under Statement 109, the effect on deferred tax assets and
liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the
period that includes the enactment date. There were no current or
deferred income tax expense or benefits due to the Company not having
any material operations for the period ending August 31, 1999.

conferred by the Delaware General Corporation Law, the Board of Directors of the
Corporation is expressly authorized to make, alter, amend, change, add to or
repeal the By-laws of the Corporation by the affirmative vote of a majority of
the total number of Directors then in office. Any alteration or repeal of the
By-laws of the Corporation by the stockholders of the Corporation shall require

outstanding shares of capital stock of the Corporation entitled to vote on such
alteration or repeal, subject to ARTICLE NINTH hereof and applicable provisions
of the Corporation's By-laws.
SEVENTH: (a) Stockholder Action. Election of Directors need
not be by written ballot unless the By-laws of the Corporation so provide.

after the date on which the Common Stock of the Corporation is registered
pursuant to the Exchange Act, (i) any action required or permitted to be taken
by the stockholders of the Corporation must be effected at an annual or special
meeting of stockholders of the Corporation and may not be effected in lieu
thereof by any consent in writing by such stockholders, (ii) special meetings of
stockholders of the Corporation may be called only by either the Board of

<PAGE>
(c) Removal and Resignation. No Director may be removed from
office without cause and without the affirmative vote of the holders of a
majority of the voting power of the then outstanding shares of capital stock of
the Corporation entitled to vote generally in the election of Directors voting
together as a single class; provided, however, that if the holders of any class
or series of capital stock are entitled by the provisions of this Certificate
(it being understood that any references to this Certificate shall include any
duly authorized certificate of designation) to elect one or more Directors, such
Director or Directors so elected may be removed without cause only by the vote
of the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of that class or series
entitled to vote. Any Director may resign at any time upon written notice to the
Corporation.
(d) Vacancies and Newly Created Directorships. Subject to any
rights of holders of any series of Preferred Stock to fill such newly created
Directorships or vacancies, any newly created Directorships resulting from any
increase in the authorized number of Directors and any vacancies in the Board of
Directors resulting from death, resignation, disqualification or removal from
office for cause shall, unless otherwise provided by law or by resolution
approved by the affirmative vote of a majority of the total number of Directors
then in office, be filled only by resolution approved by the affirmative vote of
a majority of the total number of Directors then in office. Any Director so
chosen shall hold office until the next election of the class for which such
Director shall have been chosen, and until his successor shall have been duly
elected and qualified, unless he shall resign, die, become disqualified or be
removed for cause.
EIGHTH: (a) Dividends. The Board of Directors shall have
authority from time to time to set apart out of any assets of the Corporation
otherwise available for dividends a reserve or reserves as working capital or
for any other purpose or purposes, and to abolish or add to any such reserve or
reserves from time to time as said Board may deem to be in the interest of the
Corporation; and said Board shall likewise have power to determine in its
discretion, except as herein otherwise provided, what part of the assets of the
Corporation available for dividends in excess of such reserve or reserves shall
be declared in dividends and paid to the stockholders of the Corporation.
(b) Issuance of Stock. The shares of all classes of stock of
the Corporation may be issued by the Corporation from time to time for such
consideration as from time to time may be fixed by the Board of Directors of the
Corporation, provided that shares of stock having a par value shall not be
issued for a consideration less than such par value, as determined by the Board.
At any time, or from time to time, the Corporation may grant rights or options
to purchase from the Corporation any shares of its stock of any class or classes
to run for such period of time, for such consideration, upon such terms and
conditions, and in such form as the Board of Directors may determine. The Board
of Directors shall have authority, as provided by law, to determine that only a
part of the consideration which shall be received by the Corporation for the
shares of its stock which it shall issue from time to time, shall be capital;
provided, however, that, if all the shares issued shall be shares having a par
value, the amount of the part of such consideration so determined to be capital
shall be equal to the aggregate par value of such shares. The excess, if any, at
any time, of the total net assets of the Corporation over the amount so
determined to be capital, as aforesaid, shall be surplus. All classes of stock
of the Corporation shall be and remain at all times nonassessable.

<PAGE>
The Board of Directors is hereby expressly authorized, in its
discretion, in connection with the issuance of any obligations or stock of the
Corporation (but without intending hereby to limit its general power so to do in
other cases), to grant rights or options to purchase stock of the Corporation of
any class upon such terms and during such period as the Board of Directors shall
determine, and to cause such rights to be evidenced by such warrants or other
instruments as it may deem advisable.
(c) Inspection of Books and Records. The Board of Directors
shall have power from time to time to determine to what extent and at what times
and places and under what conditions and regulations the accounts and books of
the Corporation, or any of them, shall be open to the inspection of the
stockholders; and no stockholder shall have any right to inspect any account or
book or document of the Corporation, except as conferred by the laws of the
State of Delaware, unless and until authorized so to do by resolution of the
Board of Directors or of the stockholders of the Corporation.
(d) Location of Meetings, Books and Records. Except as
otherwise provided in the By-laws, the stockholders of the Corporation and the
Board of Directors may hold their meetings and have an office or offices outside
of the State of Delaware and, subject to the provisions of the laws of said
State, may keep the books of the Corporation outside of said State at such
places as may, from time to time, be designated by the Board of Directors.
NINTH: The Corporation reserves the right to amend, alter,
change or repeal any provision contained in this Certificate in the manner now
or hereinafter prescribed herein and by the laws of the State of Delaware, and
all rights conferred upon stockholders herein are granted subject to this
reservation. Notwithstanding anything contained in this Certificate to the
contrary, Sections (a), (b) and (c) of ARTICLE FOURTH, ARTICLE TENTH, ARTICLE
SEVENTH, and this ARTICLE NINTH of this Certificate shall not be altered,
amended or repealed and no provision inconsistent therewith shall be adopted
without the affirmative vote of the holders of at least a majority of the voting
power of the then outstanding shares of capital stock of the Corporation
entitled to vote on such alteration, amendment or repeal, voting together as a
single class.
TENTH: (a) Limitation of Liability.
(i) To the fullest extent permitted by the
Delaware General Corporation Law as it now exists or may hereafter be amended
(but, in the case of any such amendment, only to the extent that such amendment
permits the Corporation to provide broader indemnification rights than permitted
prior thereto), and except as otherwise provided in the Corporation's By-laws,
no Director of the Corporation shall be liable to the Corporation or its
stockholders for monetary damages arising from a breach of fiduciary duty owed
to the Corporation or its stockholders.
6
<PAGE>
(ii) Any repeal or modification of the foregoing paragraph by the
stockholders of the Corporation shall not adversely affect any right or
protection of a Director of the Corporation existing at the time of such repeal
or modification.
(b) Right to Indemnification. Each person who was or is made a
party or is threatened to be made a party to or is otherwise involved (including
involvement as a witness) in any action, suit or proceeding, whether civil,
criminal, administrative or investigative (a "proceeding"), by reason of the
fact that he or she is or was a Director or officer of the Corporation or, while
a Director or officer of the Corporation, is or was serving at the request of
the Corporation as a Director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation
or of a partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, including service
with respect to an employee benefit plan (an "indemnitee"), whether the basis of
such proceeding is alleged action in an official capacity as a Director or
officer or in any other capacity while serving as a Director or officer, shall
be indemnified and held harmless by the Corporation to the fullest extent
authorized by the Delaware General Corporation Law, as the same exists or may
hereafter be amended (but, in the case of any such amendment, only to the extent
that such amendment permits the Corporation to provide broader indemnification
rights than permitted prior thereto), against all expense, liability and loss
(including attorneys' fees, judgments, fines, excise taxes or penalties and
amounts paid in settlement) reasonably incurred or suffered by such indemnitee
in connection therewith and such indemnification shall continue as to an
indemnitee who has ceased to be a Director, officer, employee or agent and shall
inure to the benefit of the indemnitee's heirs, executors and administrators;
provided, however, that, except as provided in Section (c) of this ARTICLE TENTH
with respect to proceedings to enforce rights to indemnification, the
Corporation shall indemnify any such indemnitee in connection with a proceeding
(or part thereof) initiated by such indemnitee only if such proceeding (or part
thereof) was authorized by the Board of Directors of the Corporation. The right
to indemnification conferred in this Section (b) of this ARTICLE TENTH shall be
a contract right and shall include the obligation of the Corporation to pay the
expenses incurred in defending any such proceeding in advance of its final
disposition (an "advance of expenses"); provided, however, that, if and to the
extent that the Delaware General Corporation Law requires, an advance of
expenses incurred by an indemnitee in his or her capacity as a Director or
officer (and not in any other capacity in which service was or is rendered by
such indemnitee, including, without limitation, service to an employee benefit
plan) shall be made only upon delivery to the Corporation of an undertaking (an
"undertaking"), by or on behalf of such indemnitee, to repay all amounts so
advanced if it shall ultimately be determined by final judicial decision from
which there is no further right to appeal (a "final adjudication") that such
indemnitee is not entitled to be indemnified for such expenses under this
Section (b) or otherwise. The Corporation may, by action of its Board of
Directors, provide indemnification to employees and agents of the Corporation
with the same or lesser scope and effect as the foregoing indemnification of
Directors and officers.
7
<PAGE>
(c) Procedure for Indemnification. Any indemnification of a
Director or officer of the Corporation or advance of expenses under Section (b)
of this ARTICLE TENTH shall be made promptly, and in any event within forty-five
(45) days (or, in the case of an advance of expenses, twenty (20) days), upon
the written request of the Director or officer. If a determination by the
Corporation that the Director or officer is entitled to indemnification pursuant
to this ARTICLE TENTH is required, and the Corporation fails to respond within
sixty (60) days to a written request for indemnity, the Corporation shall be
deemed to have approved the request. If the Corporation denies a written request
for indemnification or advance of expenses, in whole or in part, or if payment
in full pursuant to such request is not made within forty-five (45) days (or, in
the case of an advance of expenses, twenty (20) days), the right to
indemnification or advances as granted by this ARTICLE TENTH shall be
enforceable by the Director or officer in any court of competent jurisdiction.
Such person's costs and expenses incurred in connection with successfully
establishing his or her right to indemnification, in whole or in part, in any
such action shall also be indemnified by the Corporation. It shall be a defense
to any such action (other than an action brought to enforce a claim for the
advance of expenses where the undertaking required pursuant to Section (b) of
this ARTICLE TENTH, if any, has been tendered to the Corporation) that the
claimant has not met the standards of conduct which make it permissible under
the Delaware General Corporation Law for the Corporation to indemnify the
claimant for the amount claimed, but the burden of such defense shall be on the
Corporation. Neither the failure of the Corporation (including its Board of
Directors, independent legal counsel or its stockholders) to have made a
determination prior to the commencement of such action that indemnification of
the claimant is proper in the circumstances because he or she has met the
applicable standard of conduct set forth in the Delaware General Corporation
Law, nor an actual determination by the Corporation (including its Board of
Directors, independent legal counsel or its stockholders) that the claimant has
not met such applicable standard of conduct, shall be a defense to the action or
create a presumption that the claimant has not met the applicable standard of
conduct. The procedure for indemnification of other employees and agents for
whom indemnification is provided pursuant to Section (b) of this ARTICLE TENTH
shall be the same procedure set forth in this Section (c) for Directors or
officers, unless otherwise set forth in the action of the Board of Directors
providing indemnification for such employee or agent.
(d) Insurance. The Corporation may purchase and maintain
insurance on its own behalf and on behalf of any person who is or was a
Director, officer, employee or agent of the Corporation or was serving at the
request of the Corporation as a Director, officer, employee or agent of another
corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise against any
expense, liability or loss asserted against him or her and incurred by him or
her in any such capacity, whether or not the Corporation would have the power to
indemnify such person against such expense, liability or loss under the Delaware
General Corporation Law.

<PAGE>
(e) Service for Subsidiaries. Any person serving as a
Director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership,
limited liability company, joint venture or other enterprise, at least 50% of
whose equity interests are owned by the Corporation (a "subsidiary" for this
ARTICLE TENTH) shall be conclusively presumed to be serving in such capacity at
the request of the Corporation.
(f) Reliance. Persons who after the date of the adoption of
this provision become or remain Directors or officers of the Corporation or who,
while a Director or officer of the Corporation, become or remain a Director,
officer, employee or agent of a subsidiary, shall be conclusively presumed to
have relied on the rights to indemnity, advance of expenses and other rights
contained in this ARTICLE TENTH in entering into or continuing such service. The
rights to indemnification and to the advance of expenses conferred in this
ARTICLE TENTH shall apply to claims made against an indemnitee arising out of
acts or omissions which occurred or occur both prior and subsequent to the
adoption hereof.
(g) Non-Exclusivity of Rights. The rights to indemnification
and to the advance of expenses conferred in this ARTICLE TENTH shall not be
exclusive of any other right which any person may have or hereafter acquire
under this Certificate or under any statute, by-law, agreement, vote of
stockholders or disinterested Directors or otherwise.
(h) Merger or Consolidation. For purposes of this ARTICLE
TENTH, references to the "Corporation" shall include, in addition to the
resulting Corporation, any constituent Corporation (including any constituent of
a constituent) absorbed in a consolidation or merger which, if its separate
existence had continued, would have had power and authority to indemnify its
Directors, officers and employees or agents, so that any person who is or was a
Director, officer, employee or agent of such constituent Corporation, or is or
was serving at the request of such constituent Corporation as a Director,
officer, employee or agent of another Corporation, partnership, joint venture,
trust or other enterprise, shall stand in the same position under this ARTICLE
TENTH with respect to the resulting or surviving Corporation as he or she would
have with respect to such constituent Corporation if its separate existence had
continued.
ELEVENTH: The Corporation expressly elects not to be governed by Section
203 of the Delaware General Corporation Law with respect to business
combinations with interested stockholders.

as they become due in the usual course of business, or (ii) the Corporation's
assets to be less than its liabilities plus the amount necessary, if the
Corporation were dissolved at the time of the distribution, to satisfy the
