PART I
ITEM 1. DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS
Business Development
Online Innovation, Inc. (the "Company") is a website development company.
The Company is currently developing a group of webpages designed to facilitate
social interaction between single adults, with an emphasis on entertainment and
matchmaking. The Company intends to develop a group of webpages through which
internet users will be able to interact socially in a variety of contexts. The
various webpages will facilitate the development of "virtual communities" in
which members interact socially and form bonds through the use of the internet.
The Company's main website, located on the worldwide web at
www.virtuallydating.com, will provide entertainment for and facilitate
matchmaking between single adults. This site will act as a gateway to the
various webpages developed by the Company, all of which will be designed to
facilitate social interaction in a variety of settings and contexts. The target
market will be single North Americans over the age of 18 and the primary focus
will be on entertainment and matchmaking between single adults.
The Company was incorporated on May 7, 1997 pursuant to the General
Corporation Law of the State of Delaware, U.S.A. under the name Micro Millennium
Inc. On September 30, 1997 the Company acquired a 60% interest in 4 mineral
properties located in the state of Sinaloa, Mexico. The Company changed its
name from Micro Millennium, Inc., to Sinaloa Gold Corp. on October 16, 1997 and
operated as a mineral exploration and development company until March of 1999.
Between September of 1997 and March of 1999 the Company's primary business focus
was attempting to finance the exploration and development of its mineral
properties.
Depressed metal prices and lack of investor interest in resource stocks
during this period made financing difficult. As a result, the Company chose to
abandon its interest in its mineral properties and to acquire and develop its
current website development business. Pursuant to an agreement dated April 2,
<PAGE>
Page 2
1999, the Company acquired from Online Innovation, a non-reporting private
unincorporated entity, a 100% interest in all of its proprietary and
intellectual property associated with its business plan and concepts and its
worldwide web site domain name, www.virtuallydating.com. As consideration for
the acquisition of the assets of Online Innovation, the Company issued 400,000
common shares at a deemed value of $0.50 per share to Mr. Darin Wong, the sole
proprietor of Online Innovation. The Company changed its name from Sinaloa Gold
Corp. to Online Innovation, Inc. on April 8, 1999, after acquiring the assets of
Online Innovation as described above. Since the acquisition the Company has
continued to develop the property and concepts acquired from Online Innovation.
In addition, it has been forging partnerships and strategic alliances in the
internet industry and seeking financing to further its development goals. The
website www.virtuallydating.com is currently under construction and operates on
a test basis only. Once the site is fully functioning the Company hopes to
generate revenue through the sale of memberships to users via the internet,
through the sale of banner advertising on the website, and through the sale of
merchandise.
Business of the Company
Principal Products and Services
The Company's principal product/service will be a website on the worldwide
web (www.virtuallydating.com) which internet users will be able to utilize to
engage in various forms of social interaction with other users. The focus will
be on entertainment and matchmaking for single adults. The website will be
multi-faceted and will allow users to interact socially in a number of different
forums, described in greater detail below. The main webpage, located at
www.virtuallydating.com, will provide links to the other pages which comprise
the site. These pages will contain the various interactive/entertainment
functions and services offered by the Company. In order to utilize the website,
internet users will be required to become members. A membership fee will be
charged. Once an individual pays the required membership fee, he or she will be
able to utilize the various webpages created by the Company to interact with
other members. Applying highly developed technology to create virtual
communities, virtuallydating.com will be the first website of its kind to
combine traditional on-line matchmaking features with interactive entertainment
concepts to emulate real world experiences and social environments.
The website will offer several innovative ways for members to meet,
interact, and have fun through its many features, while always maintaining
privacy and discretion. While the intention may be for members to find a love
connection or friendship, the site is being developed with entertainment as its
primary focus. The interactive entertainment features of the site may also lead
to or enhance a friendship or romantic liaison.
Member WebPages
Members of the site will complete a survey in which they will compile
information such as gender, height, geographic location, lifestyle choices,
interests, hopes, dreams and desires. This information will provide a personal
profile for each member. Once the survey has been completed, the information
will be incorporated into a personal webpage for the member. The member will
design the look and feel of his/her personal webpage by selecting from a number
of different graphic options and features designed by the Company. Members will
also have the option of personalizing their webpage further by including their
<PAGE>
Page 3
photograph. The personal webpage will then be posted in a member webpage
viewing gallery. All information from the member profiles will be placed in a
searchable database which other members will to able to utilize to find suitable
companions.
AutoMatch Function
An AutoMatch option will be available which will allow members to match
automatically with other members who have similar interests. This option will
allow members to create a personal "short list" of member webpages to view and
will serve as an alternative to completing a more time-consuming survey of each
member in the viewing gallery.
Searching Member Webpages
In addition to the AutoMatch function, a search engine will be provided
which will enable members to search the database for a suitable companion.
Members engaging in such a search will be required to identify the key qualities
they are seeking in a companion. Utilizing the criteria set out by the member,
the search engine will search the database and the member will be provided with
other member profiles which meet his/her criteria.
Internal Messaging Service
Each member will be provided with an internal messaging service which is
operated through the website. Home and office e-mail addresses are not utilized
so that privacy is maintained. Once a member has selected the profile of a
person they wish to contact, the member will be able to send a personal
electronic message to that member as a first means of direct communication.
When the recipient member logs onto the site, they will be instantly informed
that they have received mail. The recipient can then easily retrieve the
message and respond at their discretion.
Chat Rooms
Chat rooms are sites where large numbers of members interact through
instant messaging. All members participating in a chat room discussion can
read messages that are sent to other participants in the room. Chat rooms
provide "chatters" with the opportunity to discuss common interests and themes.
Chat rooms also provide an alternative to the member webpage gallery as a means
of meeting other members. For those members who are shy, and for whom
connecting for the first time through internal messaging is too direct, the chat
rooms will provide the opportunity to get to know members first, before
escalating the communication to a one-on-one basis.
The Company will provide three different sets of chat rooms organized
around three different themes. Each chat room will emulate a natural setting in
which people tend to meet, and will be graphically enhanced to actually look and
feel like the themed environment.
Friendship/Companionship Chat Rooms
The Friendship/Companionship set of chat rooms will be designed to attract
members who are looking to meet others who have the same interests and are not
looking for romantic involvement. There will be four themed chat rooms
available to these types of members.
<PAGE>
Page 4
Romance & Love Chat Rooms
The Romance & Love set of chat rooms will be designed to attract members
who are serious about finding a love match and embarking on an experience of
romance. Four themed chat rooms will emulate the environments where singles
most often look for love.
The Red Light District
In these chat rooms members will be able discuss more personal issues that
are sexual in nature. The Company does not wish to encourage sexual discussion
and activity through its facilities, but believes that it will be impossible to
prevent this type of activity from occurring. The Company hopes that by
providing a separate set of chat rooms for sexual discussions to occur, it will
help prevent this type of interaction from occurring in the
Friendship/Companionship and Romance & Love chat rooms.
Private Rooms
If a members connect with someone special in a chat room, they will be
provided with the option of forming a private room where the two can send
instant messages and interact one-on-one. The room will be completely private.
Only the two members involved will be able to read the other's messages and
participate in the conversation.
The Dressing Room
The Dressing Room allows members to design their own "avatar", a
personalized caricature which will represent the member throughout the site.
Members will enter the Dressing Room and have a selection of graphic
representations of body parts and other accessories with which to create their
own caricature. By utilizing drag and drop technology, members are easily
guided through the creation of their avatar, choosing from a library of
components (eyes, hair, body type, accessories, etc.). The avatar will
represent the member in all interactive sections of the Virtually Dating site.
In chat rooms, multi-player games, or on the member's personal webpage, the
avatar serves to introduce members to other members and provide another way in
which members can express themselves.
Multi Player Avatar Based Games
The website will contain an interactive zone in which members will be able
to congregate to play games with one another. Proposed games include trivia,
multi player card games and carnival games. Each player/member participating in
these games will be represented by their avatar.
Send a Gift
This service will combine online dating with online shopping. Once a
member has found that special someone, he or she will be able to send a gift to
that person. Gifts will range from greeting cards or "virtual" bouquets of
flowers which are sent electronically, to merchandise which is mailed to the
recipient. Members will be able to view a select inventory of Private
Collection gifts with the click of a mouse and purchase the gift directly,
without having to leave the site, or provide another organization with their
credit card number. The Company will complete the recipient mailing information
so that privacy of the member's location will be maintained. The sender will
never know the address of the recipient, and vice versa. All gifts in the
Private Collection will be tasteful and in the spirit of romance so that
<PAGE>
Page 5
intended recipients need not fear receiving something offensive in the mail.
In the first phase of implementation, animated greeting cards and virtual
gifts will be available. Members will be required to complete an information
form and then send a card from the VirtuallyDating Gallery of animated cards (10
animated cards to start with, future plans to increase the Gallery's inventory).
Phase 2, which the Company intends to implement within the first year of site
launch, will involve the purchase and delivery of merchandise.
Dear Bridgette
The website will offer members third party love advice, relationship advice
or dating advice through the use of a "Dear Abby" persona known as Bridgette.
Bridgette's one on one advice will only be available to members.
Horoscopes
The Company has negotiated an agreement with KnowledgeWeb, Inc.
("KnowledgeWeb"), pursuant to which the horoscope content of KnowledgeWeb's
website will be made available to the Company's members. KnowledgeWeb provides
an online horoscope service through its website located at www.Astrology.net.
The Company entered into an Affiliate Agreement with KnowledgeWeb on November 8,
1999. Pursuant to the terms of the Affiliate Agreement, the Company is
permitted to provide its members with access to content provided on the
Astrology.net website. Access will be provided by direct links from the
Company's website to the Astrology.net website. Astrology.net provides some
horoscope content to its users free of charge (e.g. daily horoscopes) and
charges users for other content (e.g. personalized charts). The Company will be
paid commissions by KnowledgeWeb on purchases of content/services provided by
Astrology.net made by persons who are linked to the Astrology.net website
directly from the Company's website (10% for aggregate purchases of up to $1,000
in any given month and 20% for aggregate purchases exceeding $1,000 per month).
Dating Safety Tips
Dating safety tips and advice for using the VirtuallyDating site will be
available to all members. This advice will include online dating and off-line
dating safety tips for members.
Banner Advertising
In addition to membership fees and online shopping, the Company intends to
generate revenue through the sale of banner advertising. Banner advertisements
are advertisements which appear on banners on the perimeter of a computer user's
screen while viewing a website. Once traffic on the Company's website reach
1,000,000 page views per month, the website will be marketable to major
corporations for banner advertising. A page view is the number of times each
page throughout the site has been viewed by multiple users.
The Company intends to target corporations whose business will enhance the
general spirit of the website so that members will not feel that they are being
blatantly advertised to. General floating banner spots will be made available
to all prospective advertisers throughout the website's pages, but will not be
available in the themed chat rooms. Banner advertisements in the themed chat
<PAGE>
Page 6
rooms will be sold exclusively to corporations that sell products that are
related to the theme of and will directly enhance the atmosphere in the chat
room. For example, the Company intends to create a chat room with a "coffee
house" theme. The Company intends to reserve banner advertisements in the
"coffee house" chat room for corporations that sell coffee related products.
Banner advertising on the website will be sold for $12 per unit (1 unit = 1,000
impressions).
Distribution Method
The Company's primary means of distribution for its products and services
will be the internet. The Company's primary product is the information and
interactive functions which will be contained on the website. The information
will be accessible to internet users who are members. Merchandise which will
be available through the "Send a Gift" service, once that service is
functioning, will be distributed through the mail.
Competition
The Company competes with numerous entities which provide
matchmaking/dating services to the public in a variety of manners. The Company
has identified four sources of competition: traditional "offline" dating
agencies, personal advertisements, telepersonals and other online dating
services.
Traditional Dating Agencies
The Company competes with traditional "offline" dating agencies which
provide matchmaking services to single adults. These are typically local
services which serve defined and limited geographic areas. These services
typically charge clients a fee for their service and do not facilitate
interaction beyond introducing their clients to one another. By virtue of
delivering its services via the internet, the Company will be able to reach a
market which is international in scope. Marketing efforts will focus primarily
on Canada and the U.S., but the company will be in a position to deliver its
services anywhere in the world. This represents a significant advantage for the
Company relative to traditional local dating agencies. In addition, the
Company will offer a range of services and forums which will facilitate
interaction between single people prior to their actually meeting in person.
This type of service has traditionally not been provided by traditional dating
agencies. Finally, the Company's internet based service allows delivery of the
service directly to an individual's home. This allows members to interact
socially from the comfort of their own home, until such time as they wish to
interact with other members in a more direct fashion. The primary competitive
disadvantage for the Company relative to "offline" dating services, is the
Company's reliance on the internet to deliver its services, which limits the
Company's market to personal computer users with internet access. Traditional
dating services have no such market restriction. Nonetheless, for the reasons
discussed above, the Company believes that its use of the internet as a means of
service/product delivery is also the Company's primary competitive advantage
over traditional dating services. In addition, the Company expects the use of
the internet to increase dramatically in the coming years, significantly
offsetting any advantage "offline" dating agencies may have in this regard.
Personal Ads
Single adults seeking companionship or romance often place personal
advertisements in newspapers and other periodical publications. The Company
thus competes with newspapers and other periodicals for a portion of the market
<PAGE>
Page 7
share. Periodicals are subject to the same geographic restrictions with respect
to the market that offline dating agencies are subject to. They can be costly
and do not have an interactive component as the Company's internet based service
does. Without an interactive component, participants are forced to communicate
directly, either via telephone or in person, perhaps more quickly than they
would like. As discussed above, the Company's internet based service allows
members to interact from the comfort and security of their homes prior to
arranging person to person contact with a prospective companion. Personal
advertisements also have the advantage of being accessible to individuals
without computers and internet access. As discussed above, however, the
Company believes the use of the internet will increase dramatically in the
coming years, thereby offsetting a significant portion of the advantage of
offline services in this regard.
Telepersonals
Telepersonal services enable users to record personal advertisements which
can then be accessed by other individuals over the telephone. Fees are often
based on time spent using the service. Telepersonals advertisements have some
of the same drawbacks relative to the Company's internet based service that the
other services described above have. They do not facilitate any social
interaction prior to a person to person or telephone meeting with a prospective
companion.
Online Dating Services
There are other websites which provide services similar to those that are
provided by the Company. The table below provides a summary of the most
successful direct competition.

Assessment of Competition
The Company's primary competition will most likely be from other online
dating services. The Company's management is of the view that online
matchmaking/entertainment services are superior to services provided by offline
competitors and that the major barrier to their success relative to offline
competitors is current lack of access to the internet by a large segment of the
population. Management is of the view that once internet access becomes more
widespread, online matchmaking services should displace offline competition.
The interactive component of the online service, particularly the potential to
foster extensive interaction prior to person to person meetings, should make use
of online services more appealing than offline services to single adults seeking
companionship. There is no guarantee, however, that access to and use of the
internet will increase. Even if access to and use of the internet do increase,
there is no guarantee that online services will displace offline competitors or
that the Company will capture a substantial portion of the online market.
The Company's products and services are in the development stage only. The
Company's primary website and related webpages are currently functioning on a
test basis only. Established competitors have an advantage over the Company in
that they have already captured a share of the market and thus have an
established market presence. Achieving critical mass with respect to market
share is critical for a business of the nature of the Company's. The Company's
service will only be useful to consumers once a certain level of membership is
attained. Competitors who already have an established market share will,
therefore, be in a better competitive position than the Company. The Company
hopes to offset any such competitive advantages by offering products and
services which are superior in quality to and more appealing than those of their
competitors and by launching an effective marketing campaign.
The Company's primary objectives in the immediate future are to complete
the development of its products/services and to market them and attain a broadly
based diverse membership. To do so will require capital. The Company relies on
equity financing to acquire capital for marketing and product development.
There is no guarantee that financing sufficient to enable the Company to meet
its objectives will be available in the future. The Company will thus be at a
competitive disadvantage relative to more established competitors with greater
access to capital. Established competitors with cash flow from revenues may be
in a better position to capture a share of the available market.
Intellectual Property Rights
The Company relies on copyrights, trademarks, trade secret laws and
contractual restrictions to establish and protect its proprietary rights in its
services and products. The Company does not at this time have any patented
<PAGE>
Page 9
technology which would prevent competitors from entering into its market. The
Company's management believes that the steps taken by the Company to protect its
intellectual property are consistent with industry standards for online
businesses. The Company also relies on third party software licenses.
To date, the Company has received no notification that its services or
products infringe the proprietary rights of third parties. Third parties could,
however, make such claims of infringement in the future. Any future claims that
do occur may have a material adverse effect on the Company and its business.
Refer to "Risk Factors" herein.
Government Regulation
As at the date of filing there are few laws and regulations that apply
specifically to access to or commerce on the internet. Due to the increasing
popularity of use of the internet, however, it is possible that laws and
regulations with respect to the internet may be adopted at federal, state and
even local levels, covering issues such as user privacy, freedom of expression,
pricing, characteristics and quality of products and services, taxation,
advertising, intellectual property rights, information security and the
convergence of traditional telecommunications services with Internet
communications. Such future regulations may end up having a material adverse
affect on the Company and its business. Refer to "Risk Factors" herein.
Employees and Consultants
The Company has no full or part time employees. The Company retains
consultants to provide it with services related to the administration,
management and development of the Company. The Company pays $2,500 per month to
MCS Management Ltd., a private company wholly owned by Marlene Schluter,
director, secretary and treasurer of the Company, for management and
administrative services provided by MCS Management Ltd. The Company pays $2,500
per month to Netgain Management Solutions Inc., a private company wholly owned
by Chad Lee, director and president of the Company, for management and
administrative services provided by Netgain Management Solutions Inc. The
Company pays $2,500 per month to 535424 B.C. Ltd. for marketing services
provided by 535424 B.C. Ltd.
Services related to the design, development and maintenance of the
Company's website are provided by Stratford Internet Technologies Inc.
("Stratford"). Stratford is retained by the Company pursuant to the terms of a
consulting agreement between Stratford and the Company dated July 30, 1999.
Pursuant to the terms of this agreement, Stratford provides services related to
the development, design and maintenance of the Company's internet based products
and services. Stratford has been retained to design, develop and maintain the
following items:
Database Architecture - (software comprising the member
registration/tracking database system)
Credit card transaction/authorization system for processing memberships and
maintaining accounts
Interactive "build your own website/profile/avatar" system
Interactive chat rooms
Interactive multi-player games
Audio-technology to provide background music for the website

their personal computers
Animated greeting cards and virtual gifts
Personal messaging system
Dear Bridgette Advice system
Daily horoscope service through links with third party service provider

Survey systems for surveying members on a variety of issues
Stratford will undertake all of the computer programming and other
technical development work related to the production of these various
functions/services. Stratford will not act as the Company's webserver or
provide the Company with webhosting services. A webserver is a computer server
which houses the technical data and components comprising a webpage or website
and related functional components. Webhosting companies typically provide
internet companies and other entities with access to a server which functions 24
hours a day and is connected to the internet through a service provider who
provides access to telephone cables or other means of electronically
disseminating information. The Company does not currently have any agreements
in place with any webhosting companies or internet service providers.
Pursuant to the agreement with Stratford, the Company will pay Stratford
$400,000 and issue Stratford 300,000 shares of its common stock in exchange for
the services to be provided by Stratford. The Company paid Stratford a deposit
of $275,000 upon execution of the agreement. The balance will be paid upon
completion of a financing by the Company. The shares are to be issued after
Stratford has performed all of its obligations under the agreement. The shares
will bear restrictive legends pursuant to Rule 144 and will not be transferable
for one year from the date they are issued.
Risk Factors
Prospective investors should consider carefully the following risk factors,
in addition to the other information contained in this Registration Statement
concerning the Registrant and its business, before making any investment in the
Registrant's securities.
Success of Business
The Company may not be successful in its effort to further its business.
Even if the Company were to successfully meet the goals it has set for itself
the aforesaid goals may not be achieved within the respective time-frames set
for them herein. The limited extent of the Company's assets and the Company's
stage of development as well as the Company's limited operating history make it
subject to the risks associated with start-up companies.
Management
The Company's present management structure, although adequate for the early
stage of its operations, will likely have to be significantly augmented as
operations commence and expand. The ability of the Company to recruit and
retain capable and effective individuals is unknown, although there are many
such people within the industry worldwide. The loss of the services of its
current officers, or the inability of the Company to attract, motivate and
<PAGE>
Page 11
retain highly qualified executive personnel in the future, could, if and when
the Company commences commercial operations, have a material adverse effect upon
the Company's operations.
Competition
The Company intends to enter into markets which are relatively new and are,
therefore, difficult to predict in terms of the level of demand for the
Company's product and services. In addition, such markets are or likely will
be, subject to intense competition from both private and public businesses
nationally and/or around the world, many of whom have greater financial and
technical resources than the Company. Such competition as well as any future
competition may adversely affect the Company's success in the marketplace.
There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to successfully compete.
Financial Assumptions
The Company will rely on internally prepared forecasted financial
statements, which are predicated on certain assumptions, including assumptions
of revenue and expense and the occurrence of certain future events, which in
turn were based on management's considered assessment of prevailing conditions
and management's best estimates of future events. Should, for example, product
yields or prices deviate from the levels assumed in the internal forecasted
statements, then the Company's projected revenue and profits will be adversely
affected. Similarly, should the Company's actual costs exceed the assumed
levels, then the impact on the Company's projected profits would likewise be
adverse. In the final analysis, any return to an investor in the Company will
in large part be determined by management's ability to execute the Company's
plan as projected, and there can be no assurances provided of their success with
respect thereto. There can be no assurances whatsoever as to the future
financial performance of the Company. Projections are based upon current
information and certain extrinsic factors, some of which are beyond the control
of the Company, and/or subject to various assumptions, such as the Company's
ability to obtain additional financing and its ability to implement its plan.
Absence of Operating History
The Company was incorporated on May 7, 1997 but, as discussed, has yet to
commence operations in the internet/e-commerce business as it was previously in
the mining resource industry. To date, the Company has attempted to raise
capital to fund the implementation of its initial goals. The Company has no
revenues from operations, has yet to produce a profit and has no significant
assets. Failure to achieve projected rates of market penetration could
significantly affect the Company's pattern of revenues and expense, and
accordingly future cash flow. Therefore, the Company's stockholders should be
prepared to bear the economic risk of losing their entire investment.
Public Market
There is not now, and there may never be, a public market of any kind for
the securities issued by the Company. There is no assurance that the price of
the Company's common stock in any market which may develop will be greater than
the offering price. As a result of these factors, holders of the Company's
common stock may not be able to liquidate their investment.
<PAGE>
Page 12
Penny Stock
The Company's securities may be deemed "penny stock" as defined in Rule
3a51-1 of the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Such a
designation could have a material adverse effect on the development of the
public market for shares of the Company's common stock or, if such a market
develops, its continuation, since broker-dealers are required to personally
determine whether an investment in such securities is suitable for customers
prior to any solicitation of any offer to purchase these securities. Compliance
with procedures relating to sale by broker-dealers of "penny stocks" may make it
more difficult for purchasers of the Company's common stock to resell their
shares to third parties or to otherwise dispose of such shares.
Ability To Raise Additional Capital
The Company may not be able to raise additional funds for expansion and/or
growth. If such funds are not available, investors may lose their entire
investment. Additional financing may come in the form of securities offerings or
from bank financing. If additional shares are issued to raise capital, existing
shareholders will suffer a dilution of their stock ownership in the Company.
The book value of their shares will not be diluted, however, provided additional
shares are sold at a price greater than that paid by any of them. Management of
the Company currently does not anticipate that subsequent Offerings will dilute
the book value of its common stock. In the event the Company has not achieved
certain milestones, or consummated further financings, the Company will have (i)
severe cash flow and liquidity problems, and (ii) may cease at that point to be
a viable commercial entity.
Potential Conflicts Of Interest
There are various interrelationships between the officers and directors of
the Company which may create conflicts of interest that might be detrimental to
the Company. The Company's directors and officers will deal with any such
conflicts of interest, should they arise, in accordance with applicable
corporate law principles.
No Foreseeable Dividends
The Company does not anticipate paying dividends on its common stock in the
foreseeable future but plans to retain earnings, if any, for the operation,
growth and expansion of its business.
Permits and Licenses
The operations of the Company may require licenses and permits from various
governmental authorities. There can be no assurance that the Company will be
able to obtain all necessary licenses and permits that may be required to carry
out its plan.
Intellectual Property
The Company does not have any patents for its technology and there can be
no assurance that the Company will be able to protect its proprietary rights
from use by its competitors. The commercial success of the Company may also
depend upon its products and services not infringing any intellectual property
rights of others and upon no such claims of infringement being made.
<PAGE>
Page 13
Currency Fluctuation
The Company's potential operations make it subject to foreign currency
fluctuation and such fluctuation may adversely affect the Company's financial
position and results. There can be no assurance that steps taken by management
to address foreign currency fluctuations will eliminate all adverse effects and
accordingly, the Company may suffer losses due to adverse foreign currency
fluctuation. Such fluctuations may also influence future contribution margins.
Current Technology
The technology necessary to create a service such as the one the Company
will be offering exists today and is readily accessible. The Company's line of
business may, therefore, be easily entered by would-be competitors
Internet
Use of the Internet by consumers is at a very early stage of development,
and market acceptance of the Internet as a medium is subject to a high level of
uncertainty. The Company expects to experience significant fluctuations in
operating results in future periods due to a variety of factors, including, but
not limited to, (i) market acceptance of the Internet as a medium for consumers,
(ii) the Company's ability to create and deliver internet content in order to
attract users to its websites to purchase its product and/or services, and to
attract advertisers to its websites, (iii) there can be no assurance that the
Company's content will be attractive to a sufficient number of users to generate
significant revenues, (iv) intense competition from other providers of related
content over the Internet, (v) delays or errors in the Company's ability to
effect electronic commerce transactions, (vi) the Company's ability to upgrade
and develop its systems and infrastructure in a timely and effective manner
(vii) technical difficulties, system downtime or Internet brownouts, (viii) the
Company's ability to attract customers at a steady rate and maintain customer
satisfaction, (ix) seasonality of the industry, (x) seasonality of advertising
sales, (xi) Company promotions and sales programs, (xii) the amount and timing
of operating costs and capital expenditures relating to expansion of the
Company's business, operations and infrastructure and the implementation of
marketing programs, key agreements and strategic alliances, (xiii) the level of
returns experienced by the Company; and (xiv) general economic conditions and
economic conditions specific to the Internet, on-line commerce industry.
Risk Associated With The Year 2000
Year 2000 related computer failure was expected by many to be widespread
upon the arrival of January 1, 2000. Computer failures were expected as a
result of the fact that numerous older computer programs were written using two
digits rather than four to define the applicable year. It was believed that
date-sensitive software in these programs would recognize a date using "00" as
the year 1900 rather than the year 2000. It was believed that this would result
in system failures or miscalculations causing disruptions of operations,
including, among others, a temporary inability to process transactions, send
invoices or engage in similar normal business activities. Computer problems
related to the arrival of the year 2000 appear to have been extremely limited,
although some did occur and some may still occur.
Management believes that the Company does not have a material exposure to
the Year 2000 issue with respect to its own information systems since its
<PAGE>
Page 14
existing systems correctly define the Year 2000. The Company intends to conduct
an analysis throughout its development stage to determine the extent to which
its major suppliers' systems (insofar as they relate to the Company's business)
might be vulnerable to Year 2000 related computer failure. The Company is
currently unable to predict the extent to which the Year 2000 issue will affect
its suppliers, or the extent to which it would be vulnerable to its suppliers'
failure to remediate any Year 2000 computer failures on a timely basis. In
particular, most of the purchases from the Company's Internet website will be
made with credit cards and the Company's operations may be materially adversely
affected to the extent its customers are unable to use their credit cards due to
Year 2000 computer failures that are not rectified by their credit card
providers.
Telecommunication
The Company's services are dependent on the use of the Internet and
telephone connections. Any interruptions, delays or capacity problems
experienced on the Internet or with the telephone connection could adversely
effect the ability of the Company to provide its services. The
telecommunications industry is subject to regulatory control. Any amendments to
current regulations could have a material adverse effect on the Company's
business, results of operations and prospects. The Company's business is highly
dependent on its computer and telecommunications systems for the operation and
quality of its services. The temporary or permanent loss of all or a portion of
either system, or significant replacement delays, for whatever reason, could
have a materially adverse effect on the Company's business, financial condition
and results of operations.
Note: In addition to the above risks, businesses are often subject to risks not
foreseen or fully appreciated by management. In reviewing this Registration
Statement, potential investors should keep in mind other possible risks that
could be important.
ITEM 2. PLAN OF OPERATION
General
The Company's business will be conducted almost exclusively through its
website, www.virtuallydating.com. The website is currently operational on a
test basis only. Management expects that the website will be fully operational
by the end of February, 2000. The Company is currently devoting most of its
time and energy to the development of the website. This involves supervising
the website development consultants retained by the Company, providing creative
input, ensuring that the website is operational within the time currently
scheduled and ensuring that the components function in a manner and at a level
acceptable to the Company's management.
The Company has also begun to focus on marketing activities. Membership
drives and other marketing activities will be the primary component of the
Company's activities once the website is fully functioning. It is anticipated
that marketing expenses will be the Company's most significant expenses in the
12 months after the launch of the website.
<PAGE>
Page 15
Development of the Internet and E-Commerce
Use of the Internet has expanded rapidly in recent years and is expected
to expand even more rapidly in the years ahead. Use of the Internet by
businesses has increased dramatically, and a similar increase in use by
individuals for personal (i.e. non-business) reasons is also occurring.
Acceptance of the Internet as a medium for conducting commercial transactions is
also increasing dramatically, with more and more individuals making purchases or
paying bills over the internet. As a result, the Company believes that the
market for the Company's services is also currently expanding rapidly.
Management will focus its efforts on capturing a share of this expanding market
over the course of the next 12 months.
Marketing Strategies
Management believes that marketing will be the key to the Company's success
in the short term and in the long term. As a result, management intends to
focus much of its energies in the 12 month period following launch of the
website on marketing activities. The Company intends to advertise online,
through print media and possibly, depending on the resources available, through
television, radio and billboards. The goal is to capture, at a minimum, 50,000
subscribing members within the 12 months following the launch of the website.
The target market for the Company's service is single adults, aged 18-49, with
basic computer skills and access to the internet. The Company intends to focus
on the North American market in the short term and consider other markets at a
later date.
Online Advertising
Online advertising can take a number of different forms. Banner
advertising is the most common form. Banner advertisements are small banners
which appear on the perimeter of another Company's website and provide
information about the advertising company. Generally, a link to the advertising
company's website will be provided. The Company intends to place banner
advertisements on those websites which management believes will enable the
Company to most effectively reach its target market.
Affiliations with other websites also provide an avenue for marketing for
internet companies. Companies with similar markets can form various types of
strategic alliances to promote one another's products and services. The key
component is usually a link to the affiliate company's website. By forging
strategic partnerships with key industry players, the Company hopes to be able
to increase traffic on its website. One such arrangement has already been
negotiated by the Company. By agreement dated November 30, 1999, the Company
agreed to act as a sponsor of Student Advantage Inc. ("Student Advantage") a
Company which provides various resources to college students in the US. This
sponsorship agreement runs from January 1, 2000 to March 31, 2000. At a total
cost of $12,800, the Company will receive online marketing support from Student
Advantage. Support will be in the form of banner advertisements and in the form
of inclusion in the Student Advantage February membership e-mail sent to 50,000
Student Advantage members. The Company will be permitted to provide Student
Advantage members with an e-mail message containing a link to the Company's
website.
Another form of online advertising being considered by the Company involves
sponsoring e-mails or newsletters sent by other internet companies. Through
payment of a sponsorship fee, the Company would be shown as the sponsor of a
particular e-mail or newsletter sent by an entity to its members. By selecting
<PAGE>
Page 16
an entity with a large membership, the Company can reach large target markets.
A message identifying the sponsor and a link to the sponsor's website are
provided.
Management intends to explore the various forms of online advertising
available and to focus its initial energy on this sector because of the
relatively low cost and the ability to reach its target market (i.e. personal
computer users) effectively. It will, however, assess other marketing tools and
utilize those which it feels will enable it to reach its target market in the
most efficient and cost effective manner.
Print Media, T.V., Radio and Billboards
While management is of the view that online advertising will initially be
the most cost-effective marketing tool, it also believes that other, more
traditional methods of marketing will be effective and must be developed to the
fullest extent possible. It envisions placing advertisements in the personals
sections of major newspapers and in high circulation magazines with general
readership to brand the VirtuallyDating name and to expose the Company to a
wider audience. Determination as to whether these types of advertisements will
be placed will depend on funds available after the launch of the website. In
addition, advertisements on television, radio and on billboards will be
considered and utilized if the Company has the capital available to purchase
advertising space/time from these sources.
Cash Requirements
The Company currently has sufficient working capital to meet its operating
requirements for a period of 6 months. Management will be seeking to arrange
additional equity financing for the Company in the upcoming months. Any
additional funds raised will likely be utilized for marketing, website
development and maintenance and for general and administrative expenses. The
quantity of funds to be raised and the terms of any equity financing to be
undertaken will be negotiated by the Company's management as opportunities to
raise funds arise. Specific plans related to marketing and any additional
website development which may occur after the completion of the work to be
performed by Stratford (refer to the section entitled "Employees and
Consultants") will be devised once financing has been completed and management
knows what funds will be available for these purposes.
Additional Website Development
Once the website is launched, the Company intends to continue to develop
new features which will make the website more attractive to prospective members.
Proposed features may include the development of live video chat functions for
members whose personal computers have the capacity to perform video
conferencing/interaction. In addition, the Company intends to create a webpage
entitled "Hey Bartender" which would provide recipes for alcoholic cocktails.
Members would be invited to post their own favorite recipes on the page.
Another section entitled "Postcards Form Stanley" may be created. This section
would feature travel reviews of destinations geared towards singles.

thereunder.
On September 30, 1997, the Company issued 8,500,000 shares of its common
stock at a deemed price of $0.00353 per share (aggregate value $30,000). The

subscribing for 500,000 shares. The offering was made without registration
under the Securities Act in reliance on the exemption from registration
contained in sections 4(2) and 3(b) of the Securities Act and on Rule 504 of
Regulation D promulgated thereunder.
On April 2, 1999 the Company issued 400,000 shares of its common stock at a
deemed price of $0.50 per share (aggregate value $200,000). The shares were
issued to Mr. Darin Wong as consideration for the transfer of the assets of
Online Innovation to the Company. Online Innovation was a private

intellectual property and business concepts which now form the core of the
Company's assets, including the domain name www.virtuallydating.com. The shares
were issued in reliance on the exemption from registration contained in sections

Page 24
4(2) and 3(b) of the Securities Act and on Rule 504 of Regulation D promulgated
thereunder.
On April 6, 1999, the Company completed a sale of 205,000 shares of its
common stock at a price of $0.50 per share for aggregate cash proceeds of
$102,500. Shares were sold to 3 purchasers. The offering was made without
registration under the Securities Act in reliance on the exemption from
registration contained in sections 4(2) and 3(b) of the Securities Act and on
Rule 504 of Regulation D promulgated thereunder.
On April 15, 1999, the Company completed a sale of 1,600,000 units at a
price of $0.50 per unit for aggregate cash proceeds of $800,000. Each unit
consisted of one share of the Company's common stock and one share purchase
warrant. Each share purchase warrant is for a term of 2 years and entitles the
holder to purchase an additional share of the Company's common stock at a price
of $0.50 until April 15, 2000 or at a price of $0.60 any time after April 15,
2000 but before April 15, 2001. Units were sold to 11 purchasers. The
offering was made without registration under the Securities Act in reliance on
the exemption from registration contained in sections 4(2) and 3(b) of the
Securities Act and on Rule 506 of Regulation D promulgated thereunder. As at
January 25, 2000, a total of 450,000 shares had been issued by the Company
pursuant to the exercise of share purchase warrants issued in conjunction with
the unit offering.
As of January 25, 2000, 11,105,000 shares of the Company's common stock were
issued and sold pursuant to Rule 504 of Regulation D promulgated under the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), and 1,600,000 units,
each consisting of one share of the Company's common stock and one warrant to
purchase a Share of the Company's common stock were issued and sold pursuant to
Rule 506 of Regulation D promulgated under the Securities Act. The securities
issued by the Company pursuant to Rule 504 were all issued in connection with an
offering which was completed prior to the April 7, 1999 effectiveness of an
amendment to Rule 504, which altered the requirements for the resale of
unrestricted securities pursuant to such Rule. Consequently, they are not
"restricted securities" as such term is defined in Rule 144. Conversely, the
securities issued by the Company pursuant to Rule 506 are deemed to be
restricted under Rule 144. Accordingly, with the exception of shares owned by
"affiliates" (as such term is defined in Rule 144) of the Company, all of the
Company's shares of common stock issued pursuant to Rule 504, may be resold in
brokerage transactions without restriction, while the shares of common stock
issued pursuant to Rule 506 are restricted from resale as indicated below.
Shares owned by affiliates or issued pursuant to Rule 506, which are restricted
securities, are so restricted for at least an initial period of one year from
the purchase thereof. Following this one-year period, shares issued pursuant to
Rule 506 and shares owned by affiliates may then be sold in brokerage
transactions, subject to certain requirements of Rule 144, including the volume
limitation requirements, which provide that such persons would be entitled to
sell, within any three-month period, a number of shares that does not exceed the
greater of (i) 1% of the then outstanding shares of common stock, or (ii) the
average weekly reported trading volume on all national securities exchanges,
the NASDAQ National Market, and the OTC Bulletin Board during the four calendar
weeks preceding such sale. Any "free trading" and unrestricted shares which may
be owned by affiliates of the issuer are likewise subject to the foregoing
limitation on resale without regard to when they were acquired or how long they
have been held. Rule 144 also permits, under certain circumstances, the sale of
shares without any quantity limitation by a person who has satisfied a two year
holding period and who is not, and has not been for the preceding three months,
an affiliate of the Company.

INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANT'S REPORT

To the Directors and Shareholders of
Online Innovation, Inc. (A Delaware Corporation)
(formerly Sinaloa Gold Corp.)
(A Development Stage Company)
We have reviewed the accompanying Balance Sheets of Online Innovation, Inc. (A
Delaware Corporation) (formerly Sinaloa Gold Corp.) (A Development Stage
Company) as of December 31, 1999, and the Statements of Loss and Deficit, Cash
Flows and Stockholders' Equity for the six month period then ended. These
financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management.
We conducted our review in accordance with standards established by the American
Institute of Certified Public Accountants. A review of interim financial
information consists principally of applying analytical procedures to financial
data and making inquiries of persons responsible for financial and accounting
matters. It is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in
accordance with generally accepted auditing standards, the objective of which is
the expression of an opinion regarding the financial statements taken as a
whole. Accordingly, we do not express such an opinion.
Based on our review, we are not aware of any material modifications that should
be made to the accompanying financial statements for them to be in conformity
with generally accepted accounting principles.

Note 11 INCOME TAXES
The Company has losses carried forward to future years of $558,727.
The potential tax benefit has not been recorded, as an equivalent
reserve has been provided due to unlikely application of the loss.
Note 12 FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
The Company's financial instruments consist of cash, accounts payable
and accrued, loan payable and due to related party. It is management's
opinion that the Company is not exposed to significant interest,
currency or credit risks arising from these financial instruments.
The fair value of these financial statements approximated their
carrying values.
Note 13 YEAR 2000
The Year 2000 issue arises because many computerized systems use two
digits rather than four to identify a year. Date-sensitive systems
may recognize the year 2000 as 1900 or some other date, resulting in
errors when information using year 2000 dates is processed. In
addition, similar problems may arise in some systems which use certain
dates in 1999 to represent something other than a date. The effects
of the Year 2000 issue may be experienced before, on, or after January
1, 2000, and, if not addressed, the impact on operations and financial
reporting may range from minor errors to significant systems failure
which could affect the Company's ability to conduct normal business
operations.
It is not possible to be certain that all aspects of the Year 2000
issue affecting the Corporation, including those related to the
efforts of customers, suppliers, or other third parties, will be fully
resolved. However, the Company is presently attending to resolve any
potential Y2K problems.

SINALOA GOLD CORP.
(A Delaware Corporation)
(formerly Micro Millenium Inc.)
(A Development Stage Company)
Notes to Financial Statements
June 30, 1998
(in U.S. Dollars)
Note 1. BUSINESS OPERATIONS
a) The Company was incorporated on May 7, 1997 under the Company Act
of the State of Delaware, U.S.A. and commenced business on August
1, 1997. The Company changed it's name from Micro Millennium, Inc.
to Sinaloa Gold Corp. on October 16, 1997.
b) The Company is in its development stage in the resource industry
and has not generated any revenues from its planned operations.
The deficit to June 30, 1998 has been accumulated during the
development stage.
Note 2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
a) Mineral Property Acquisition Costs and Deferred Exploration
Expenditures
i) Mineral property acquisition costs are capitalized.
Exploration costs and mine development costs to be incurred,
including those to be incurred in advance of commercial
production and those incurred to expand capacity of proposed
mines, are to be capitalized. Mine development costs to be
incurred to maintain production will be expensed as incurred.
Depletion and amortization expense related to capitalized
mineral properties, exploration costs and mine development
costs will be computed using the units-of-production method
based on proved and probable reserves.
ii) US GAAP requires that whenever events or changes in
circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be
recoverable, the entity shall estimate the future cash flows
expected to result from the use of the asset and its eventual
disposition. If the sum of the discounted future cash flows
is less than the carrying amount of the asset, an impairment
loss (difference between the carrying amount and fair value)
should be recognized as a component of income from continuing
operations before income taxes.
iii) Where properties are disposed of, the sales proceeds are,
firstly, applied as a recovery of deferred exploration
expenditures, secondly, as a recovery of mineral property
acquisition costs, and thirdly, as a gain or loss recorded
in current operations.
b) Mineral Resource Assets
As the Company is in its formative stages it does not have an
estimate of proved or of proved and probable mineral resource on
hand at the end of the current fiscal period.

Note 2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (cont'd)
c) Values
The amounts for mineral properties and deferred expenses represent
costs incurred to date and are not intended to reflect present or
future values. The recoverability of the amounts shown for mineral
properties and deferred exploration costs is dependent on the
confirmation of economically recoverable reserves, the ability of
the Company to obtain the necessary financing to successfully
complete their development, including compliance with the
requirements of lenders who may provide this financing from time
to time, and upon future profitable operations.
d) Administration Costs
Administration costs are written off to operations during the
period.
e) Translation of Foreign Currency
The accounts of the Company are translated into U.S. dollars on
the following basis:
-current assets and liabilities at the rate of exchange in effect
at the balance sheet date
-deferred exploration and administration costs at the average rate
in effect during the year
-non-current assets and liabilities at rates prevailing when the
transaction occurred
f) Environmental Issues
The accounting policy of the Company is to record environmental
liabilities as they become known. There are no known environmental
liabilities. The Company will accrue possible liability for
reclamation costs when the Company commences production on any of
its properties.
g) Basis of Presentation
These financial statements are prepared in accordance with United
States Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP).
