PART I
ITEM 1. BUSINESS.
Allmon Management Inc. (the "Company"), was incorporated on March 3, 2000,
under the laws of the State of Delaware to engage in any lawful corporate
undertaking, including, but not limited to, selected mergers and acquisitions.
The Company has been in the developmental stage since inception and has no
operations to date other than issuing shares to its original shareholders.
The Company will attempt to locate and negotiate with a business entity for
the combination of that target company with the Company. The combination will
normally take the form of a merger, stock-for-stock exchange or stock-for-assets
exchange. In most instances the target company will wish to structure the
business combination to be within the definition of a tax-free reorganization
under Section 351 or Section 368 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as
amended. No assurances can be given that the Company will be successful in
locating or negotiating with any target company.
The Company has been formed to provide a method for a foreign or domestic
private company to become a reporting ("public") company whose securities are
qualified for trading in the United States secondary market.
PERCEIVED BENEFITS
There are certain perceived benefits to being a reporting company with a
class of publicly-traded securities. These are commonly thought to include
the following:
* the ability to use registered securities to make acquisitions of
assets or businesses;
* increased visibility in the financial community;
* the facilitation of borrowing from financial institutions;
* improved trading efficiency;
* shareholder liquidity;
* greater ease in subsequently raising capital;
* compensation of key employees through stock options for which there
may be a market valuation;
* enhanced corporate image;
* a presence in the United States capital market.

<PAGE>
POTENTIAL TARGET COMPANIES
A business entity, if any, which may be interested in a business
combination with the Company may include the following:
* a company for which a primary purpose of becoming public is the use of
its securities for the acquisition of assets or businesses;
* a company which is unable to find an underwriter of its securities or
is unable to find an underwriter of securities on terms acceptable to
it;
* a company which wishes to become public with less dilution of its
common stock than would occur upon an underwriting;
* a company which believes that it will be able to obtain investment
capital on more favorable terms after it has become public;
* a foreign company which may wish an initial entry into the United
States securities market;
* a special situation company, such as a company seeking a public market
to satisfy redemption requirements under a qualified Employee Stock
Option Plan;
* a company seeking one or more of the other perceived benefits of
becoming a public company.
A business combination with a target company will normally involve the
transfer to the target company of the majority of the issued and outstanding
common stock of the Company, and the substitution by the target company of its
own management and board of directors.
No assurances can be given that the Company will be able to enter into a
business combination, as to the terms of a business combination, or as to the
nature of the target company.
The Company is voluntarily filing this Registration Statement with the
Securities and Exchange Commission and is under no obligation to do so under the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934.
RISK FACTORS
The Company's business is subject to numerous risk factors, including the
following:
2
<PAGE>
NO OPERATING HISTORY OR REVENUE AND MINIMAL ASSETS. The Company has had no
operating history nor any revenues or earnings from operations. The Company has
no significant assets or financial resources. The Company will, in all
likelihood, sustain operating expenses without corresponding revenues, at least
until the consummation of a business combination. This may result in the Company
incurring a net operating loss which will increase continuously until the
Company can consummate a business combination with a target company. There is no
assurance that the Company can identify such a target company and consummate
such a business combination.
SPECULATIVE NATURE OF THE COMPANY'S PROPOSED OPERATIONS. The success of the
Company's proposed plan of operation will depend to a great extent on the
operations, financial condition and management of the identified target company.
While management will prefer business combinations with entities having
established operating histories, there can be no assurance that the Company will
be successful in locating candidates meeting such criteria. In the event the
Company completes a business combination, of which there can be no assurance,
the success of the Company's operations will be dependent upon management of the
target company and numerous other factors beyond the Company's control.
SCARCITY OF AND COMPETITION FOR BUSINESS OPPORTUNITIES AND COMBINATIONS.
The Company is and will continue to be an insignificant participant in the
business of seeking mergers with and acquisitions of business entities. A large
number of established and well-financed entities, including venture capital
firms, are active in mergers and acquisitions of companies which may be merger
or acquisition target candidates for the Company. Nearly all such entities have
significantly greater financial resources, technical expertise and managerial
capabilities than the Company and, consequently, the Company will be at a
competitive disadvantage in identifying possible business opportunities and
successfully completing a business combination. Moreover, the Company will also
compete with numerous other small public companies in seeking merger or
acquisition candidates.
IMPRACTICABILITY OF EXHAUSTIVE INVESTIGATION. The Company's limited funds
and the lack of full-time management will likely make it impracticable to
conduct a complete and exhaustive investigation and analysis of a target
company. The decision to enter into a business combination, therefore, will
likely be made without detailed feasibility studies, independent analysis,
market surveys or similar information which, if the Company had more funds
available to it, would be desirable. The Company will be particularly dependent
in making decisions upon information provided by the principals and advisors
associated with the business entity seeking the Company's participation.
NO AGREEMENT FOR BUSINESS COMBINATION OR OTHER TRANSACTION--NO STANDARDS
FOR BUSINESS COMBINATION. The Company has no current arrangement, agreement or
understanding with respect to engaging in a business combination with a specific
entity. There can be no assurance that the Company will be successful in
identifying and evaluating suitable business opportunities or in concluding a
business combination. Management has not identified any particular industry or
specific business within an industry for evaluation by the Company. There is no
assurance that the Company will be able to negotiate a business combination on
terms favorable to the Company. The Company has not established a specific
length of operating
3
<PAGE>
history or a specified level of earnings, assets, net worth or other criteria
which it will require a target company to have achieved, or without which the
Company would not consider a business combination with such business entity.
Accordingly, the Company may enter into a business combination with a business
entity having no significant operating history, losses, limited or no potential
for immediate earnings, limited assets, negative net worth or other negative
characteristics.
CONTINUED MANAGEMENT CONTROL, LIMITED TIME AVAILABILITY. While seeking a
business combination, management anticipates devoting only a limited amount of
time per month to the business of the Company. The Company's sole officer has
not entered into a written employment agreement with the Company and he is not
expected to do so in the foreseeable future. The Company has not obtained key
man life insurance on its officer and director. Notwithstanding the combined
limited experience and time commitment of management, loss of the services of
this individual would adversely affect development of the Company's business and
its likelihood of continuing operations.
CONFLICTS OF INTEREST--GENERAL. The Company's officer and director
participates in other business ventures which may compete directly with the
Company. Additional conflicts of interest and non-arms length transactions may
also arise in the future. Management has adopted a policy that the Company will
not seek a business combination with any entity in which any member of
management serves as an officer, director or partner, or in which they or their
family members own or hold any ownership interest. See "ITEM 5. DIRECTORS,
EXECUTIVE OFFICERS, PROMOTERS AND CONTROL PERSONS--Conflicts of Interest."
REPORTING REQUIREMENTS MAY DELAY OR PRECLUDE ACQUISITION. Section 13 of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the "Exchange Act") requires companies subject
thereto to provide certain information about significant acquisitions including
audited financial statements for the company acquired covering one or two years,
depending on the relative size of the acquisition. The time and additional costs
that may be incurred by some target companies to prepare such financial
statements may significantly delay or essentially preclude consummation of an
otherwise desirable acquisition by the Company. Acquisition prospects that do
not have or are unable to obtain the required audited statements may not be
appropriate for acquisition so long as the reporting requirements of the
Exchange Act are applicable.
LACK OF MARKET RESEARCH OR MARKETING ORGANIZATION. The Company has neither
conducted, nor have others made available to it, market research indicating that
demand exists for the transactions contemplated by the Company. Even in the
event demand exists for a transaction of the type contemplated by the Company,
there is no assurance the Company will be successful in completing any such
business combination.
LACK OF DIVERSIFICATION. The Company's proposed operations, even if
successful, will in all likelihood result in the Company engaging in a business
combination with only one target company. Consequently, the Company's activities
will be limited to those engaged in by the business entity which the Company
merges with or acquires. The Company's inability to diversify its activities
into a number of areas may subject the Company to economic fluctuations within a
particular business or industry and therefore increase the risks associated with
the Company's operations.
4
<PAGE>
REGULATION UNDER INVESTMENT COMPANY ACT. Although the Company will be
subject to regulation under the Exchange Act, management believes the Company
will not be subject to regulation under the Investment Company Act of 1940,
insofar as the Company will not be engaged in the business of investing or
trading in securities. In the event the Company engages in business combinations
which result in the Company holding passive investment interests in a number of
entities, the Company could be subject to regulation under the Investment
Company Act of 1940. In such event, the Company would be required to register as
an investment company and could be expected to incur significant registration
and compliance costs. The Company has obtained no formal determination from the
Securities and Exchange Commission as to the status of the Company under the
Investment Company Act of 1940 and, consequently, any violation of such Act
could subject the Company to material adverse consequences.
PROBABLE CHANGE IN CONTROL AND MANAGEMENT. A business combination involving
the issuance of the Company's common stock will, in all likelihood, result in
shareholders of a target company obtaining a controlling interest in the
Company. Any such business combination may require shareholders of the Company
to sell or transfer all or a portion of the Company's common stock held by them.
The resulting change in control of the Company will likely result in removal of
the present officer and director of the Company and a corresponding reduction in
or elimination of his participation in the future affairs of the Company.
REDUCTION OF PERCENTAGE SHARE OWNERSHIP FOLLOWING BUSINESS COMBINATION. The
Company's primary plan of operation is based upon a business combination with a
business entity which, in all likelihood, will result in the Company issuing
securities to shareholders of such business entity. The issuance of previously
authorized and unissued common stock of the Company would result in reduction in
percentage of shares owned by the present shareholders of the Company and would
most likely result in a change in control or management of the Company.
TAXATION. Federal and state tax consequences will, in all likelihood, be
major considerations in any business combination the Company may undertake.
Currently, such transactions may be structured so as to result in tax-free
treatment to both companies, pursuant to various federal and state tax
provisions. The Company intends to structure any business combination so as to
minimize the federal and state tax consequences to both the Company and the
target company; however, there can be no assurance that such business
combination will meet the statutory requirements of a tax-free reorganization or
that the parties will obtain the intended tax-free treatment upon a transfer of
stock or assets. A non-qualifying reorganization could result in the imposition
of both federal and state taxes which may have an adverse effect on both parties
to the transaction.
POSSIBLE RELIANCE UPON UNAUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS. The Company will
require audited financial statements from any business entity that it proposes
to acquire. No assurance can be given, however, that audited financials will be
available to the Company prior to a business combination. In cases where audited
financials are unavailable, the Company will have to rely upon unaudited
information that has not been verified by outside auditors in making its
decision to engage in a transaction with the business entity.
5
<PAGE>
The lack of the type of independent verification which audited financial
statements would provide increases the risk that the Company, in evaluating a
transaction with such a target company, will not have the benefit of full and
accurate information about the financial condition and operating history of the
target company. This risk increases the prospect that a business combination
with such a business entity might prove to be an unfavorable one for the
Company.
COMPUTER SYSTEMS REDESIGNED FOR YEAR 2000. Many existing computer programs
use only two digits to identify a year in such program's date field. These
programs were designed and developed without consideration of the impact of the
change in the century for which four digits will be required to accurately
report the date. If not corrected, many computer applications could fail or
create erroneous results by or following the year 2000 ("Year 2000 Problem").
Many of the computer programs containing such date language problems have not
been corrected by the companies or governments operating such programs. It is
impossible to predict what computer programs will be effected, the impact any
such computer disruption will have on other industries or commerce or the
severity or duration of a computer disruption.
The Company does not have operations and does not maintain computer
systems. Before the Company enters into any business combination, it may inquire
as to the status of any target company's Year 2000 Problem, the steps such
target company has taken or intends to take to correct any such problem and the
probable impact on such target company of any computer disruption. However,
there can be no assurance that the Company will not enter into a business
combination with a target company that has an uncorrected Year 2000 Problem or
that any planned Year 2000 Problem corrections will be sufficient. The extent of
the Year 2000 Problem of a target company may be impossible to ascertain and any
impact on the Company will likely be impossible to predict.
ITEM 2. PLAN OF OPERATION
The Company intends to enter into a business combination with a target
company in exchange for the Company's securities. As of the initial filing date
of this Registration Statement, neither the Company's officer and director nor
any affiliate has engaged in any negotiations with any representative of any
specific entity regarding the possibility of a business combination with the
Company.
Management anticipates seeking out a target company through solicitation.
Such solicitation may include newspaper or magazine advertisements, mailings and
other distributions to law firms, accounting firms, investment bankers,
financial advisors and similar persons, the use of one or more World Wide Web
sites and similar methods. No estimate can be made as to the number of persons
who will be contacted or solicited. Management may engage in such solicitation
directly or may employ one or more other entities to conduct or assist in such
solicitation. Management and its affiliates will pay referral fees to
consultants and others who refer target businesses for mergers into public
companies in which management and its affiliates have an interest. Payments are
made if a business combination occurs, and may consist of cash or a portion of
the stock in the Company retained by management and its affiliates, or both.

<PAGE>
The Company has entered into an agreement with Gerald Ghini to supervise
the search for target companies as potential candidates for a business
combination. Gerald Ghini will receive common stock of the Company in
consideration of its agreement to provide such services. Gerald Ghini has not
performed any services for the Company to date at this time, and therefore, no
common stock has been issued by the Company for services to date. Gerald Ghini
will pay the costs and expenses it will incur in supervising the search for a
target company. Gerald Ghini anticipates that he will enter into agreements with
other consultants to assist in locating a target company and may share stock
received by it or cash resulting from the sale of its securities with such other
consultants. Gerald Ghini is fully authorized to enter into any agreement
binding the Company, which can only be done by action of the Company's officer,
director and shareholders, as may be required. Gerald Ghini is an affiliate of
the Company's management.
See Item 4: SECURITIES OWNERSHIP OF CERTAIN BENEFICIAL OWNERS AND
MANAGEMENT."
The Company has no full time employees. The Company's president has agreed
to allocate a portion of his time to the activities of the Company, without
compensation. The president anticipates that the business plan of the Company
can be implemented by his devoting no more than 10 hours per month to the
business affairs of the Company and, consequently, conflicts of interest may
arise with respect to the limited time commitment by such officer. In addition,
the Company has an agreement with the Company's President to perform services
without compensation. There have been no services provided through the date of
the filing or this Form 10-SB by the President. When such services are provided,
the Company will record the services at their fair value as a capital
contribution.
See "ITEM 5, DIRECTORS, EXECUTIVE OFFICERS, PROMOTERS AND CONTROL
PERSONS--Other Current Blank Check Companies" Nil.
The Certificate of Incorporation of the Company provides that the Company
may indemnify officers and/or directors of the Company for liabilities, which
can include liabilities arising under the securities laws. Therefore, assets of
the Company could be used or attached to satisfy any liabilities subject to such
indemnification.
GENERAL BUSINESS PLAN
The Company's purpose is to seek, investigate and, if such investigation
warrants, acquire an interest in a business entity which desires to seek the
perceived advantages of a corporation which has a class of securities registered
under the Exchange Act. The Company will not restrict its search to any specific
business, industry, or geographical location and the Company may participate in
a business venture of virtually any kind or nature. Management anticipates that
it will be able to participate in only one potential business venture because
the Company has nominal assets and limited financial resources. See ITEM F/S,
"FINANCIAL STATEMENTS." This lack of diversification should be considered a
substantial risk to the shareholders of the Company because it will not permit
the Company to offset potential losses from one venture against gains from
another.
The Company may seek a business opportunity with entities which have
recently commenced operations, or which wish to utilize the public marketplace
in order to raise additional capital in order to expand into new products or
markets, to develop a new product or service, or for other corporate purposes.
7
<PAGE>
The Company anticipates that the selection of a business opportunity in
which to participate will be complex and extremely risky. Management believes
(but has not conducted any research to confirm) that there are business entities
seeking the perceived benefits of a publicly registered corporation. Such
perceived benefits may include facilitating or improving the terms on which
additional equity financing may be sought, providing liquidity for incentive
stock options or similar benefits to key employees, increasing the opportunity
to use securities for acquisitions, providing liquidity for shareholders and
other factors. Business opportunities may be available in many different
industries and at various stages of development, all of which will make the task
of comparative investigation and analysis of such business opportunities
difficult and complex.
The Company has, and will continue to have, no capital with which to
provide the owners of business entities with any cash or other assets. However,
management believes the Company will be able to offer owners of acquisition
candidates the opportunity to acquire a controlling ownership interest in a
public company without incurring the cost and time required to conduct an
initial public offering. Management has not conducted market research and is not
aware of statistical data to support the perceived benefits of a business
combination for the owners of a target company.
The analysis of new business opportunities will be undertaken by, or under
the supervision of, the officer and director of the Company, who is not a
professional business analyst. In analyzing prospective business opportunities,
management may consider such matters as the available technical, financial and
managerial resources; working capital and other financial requirements; history
of operations, if any; prospects for the future; nature of present and expected
competition; the quality and experience of management services which may be
available and the depth of that management; the potential for further research,
development, or exploration; specific risk factors not now foreseeable but which
then may be anticipated to impact the proposed activities of the Company; the
potential for growth or expansion; the potential for profit; the perceived
public recognition or acceptance of products, services, or trades; name
identification; and other relevant factors. This discussion of the proposed
criteria is not meant to be restrictive of the Company's virtually unlimited
discretion to search for and enter into potential business opportunities.
The Exchange Act requires that any merger or acquisition candidate comply
with certain reporting requirements, which include providing audited financial
statements to be included in the reporting filings made under the Exchange Act.
The Company will not acquire or merge with any company for which audited
financial statements cannot be obtained at or within the required period of time
after closing of the proposed transaction.
The Company may enter into a business combination with a business entity
that desires to establish a public trading market for its shares. A target
company may attempt to avoid what it deems to be adverse consequences of
undertaking its own public offering by seeking a business combination with the
Company. Such consequences may include, but are not limited to, time delays of
the registration process, significant expenses to be incurred in such an
offering, loss of voting control to public shareholders or the inability to
obtain an underwriter or to obtain an underwriter on satisfactory terms.
8
<PAGE>
The Company will not restrict its search for any specific kind of business
entities, but may acquire a venture which is in its preliminary or development
stage, which is already in operation, or in essentially any stage of its
business life. It is impossible to predict at this time the status of any
business in which the Company may become engaged, in that such business may need
to seek additional capital, may desire to have its shares publicly traded, or
may seek other perceived advantages which the Company may offer.
Management of the Company, which in all likelihood will not be experienced
in matters relating to the business of a target company, will rely upon its own
efforts in accomplishing the business purposes of the Company. Following a
business combination the Company may benefit from the services of others in
regard to accounting, legal services, underwritings and corporate public
relations. If requested by a target company, management may recommend one or
more underwriters, financial advisors, accountants, public relations firms or
other consultants to provide such services.
A potential target company may have an agreement with a consultant or
advisor providing that services of the consultant or advisor be continued after
any business combination. Additionally, a target company may be presented to the
Company only on the condition that the services of a consultant or advisor be
continued after a merger or acquisition. Such preexisting agreements of target
companies for the continuation of the services of attorneys, accountants,
advisors or consultants could be a factor in the selection of a target company.
ACQUISITION OF OPPORTUNITIES
In implementing a structure for a particular business acquisition, the
Company may become a party to a merger, consolidation, reorganization, joint
venture, or licensing agreement with another corporation or entity. On the
consummation of a transaction, it is likely that the present management and
shareholders of the Company will no longer be in control of the Company. In
addition, it is likely that the Company's officer and director will, as part of
the terms of the acquisition transaction, resign and be replaced by one or more
new officers and directors.
It is anticipated that any securities issued in any such reorganization
would be issued in reliance upon exemption from registration under applicable
federal and state securities laws. In some circumstances, however, as a
negotiated element of its transaction, the Company may agree to register all or
a part of such securities immediately after the transaction is consummated or at
specified times thereafter. If such registration occurs, it will be undertaken
by the surviving entity after the Company has entered into an agreement for a
business combination or has consummated a business combination and the Company
is no longer considered a blank check company. The issuance of additional
securities and their potential sale into any trading market which may develop in
the Company's securities may depress the market value of the Company's
securities in the future if such a market develops, of which there is no
assurance.
9
<PAGE>
While the terms of a business transaction to which the Company may be a
party cannot be predicted, it is expected that the parties to the business
transaction will desire to avoid the creation of a taxable event and thereby
structure the acquisition in a tax-free reorganization under Sections 351 or 368
of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended.
With respect to negotiations with a target company, management expects to
focus on the percentage of the Company which target company shareholders would
acquire in exchange for their shareholdings in the target company. Depending
upon, among other things, the target company's assets and liabilities, the
Company's shareholders will in all likelihood hold a substantially lesser
percentage ownership interest in the Company following any merger or
acquisition. The percentage of ownership may be subject to significant reduction
in the event the Company acquires a target company with substantial assets. Any
merger or acquisition effected by the Company can be expected to have a
significant dilutive effect on the percentage of shares held by the Company's
shareholders at such time.
The Company will participate in a business opportunity only after the
negotiation and execution of appropriate agreements. Although the terms of such
agreements cannot be predicted, generally such agreements will require certain
representations and warranties of the parties thereto, will specify certain
events of default, will detail the terms of closing and the conditions which
must be satisfied by the parties prior to and after such closing and will
include miscellaneous other terms.
The Company will not enter into a business combination with any entity
which cannot provide audited financial statements at or within the required
period of time after closing of the proposed transaction. The Company is subject
to all of the reporting requirements included in the Exchange Act. Included in
these requirements is the duty of the Company to file audited financial
statements as part of or within 60 days following the due date for filing its
Form 8-K which is required to be filed with the Securities and Exchange
Commission within 15 days following the completion of the business combination.
If such audited financial statements are not available at closing, or within
time parameters necessary to insure the Company's compliance with the
requirements of the Exchange Act, or if the audited financial statements
provided do not conform to the representations made by the target company, the
closing documents may provide that the proposed transaction will be voidable at
the discretion of the present management of the Company.
Management has orally agreed that it will advance to the Company any
additional funds which the Company needs for operating capital and for costs in
connection with searching for or completing an acquisition or merger. Such
advances will be made without expectation of repayment. There is no minimum or
maximum amount management will advance to the Company. The Company will not
borrow any funds to make any payments to the Company's management, its
affiliates or associates.
The Board of Directors has passed a resolution which contains a policy that
the Company will not seek a business combination with any entity in which the
Company's officer, director, shareholders or any affiliate or associate serves
as an officer or director or holds any ownership interest.

<PAGE>
UNDERTAKINGS AND UNDERSTANDINGS REQUIRED OF TARGET COMPANIES
As part of a business combination agreement, the Company intends to obtain
certain representations and warranties from a target company as to its conduct
following the business combination. Such representations and warranties may
include (i) the agreement of the target company to make all necessary filings
and to take all other steps necessary to remain a reporting company under the
Exchange Act (ii) imposing certain restrictions on the timing and amount of the
issuance of additional free-trading stock, including stock registered on Form
S-8 or issued pursuant to Regulation S and (iii) giving assurances of ongoing
compliance with the Securities Act, the Exchange Act, the General Rules and
Regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission, and other applicable
laws, rules and regulations.
A prospective target company should be aware that the market price and
volume of its securities, when and if listed for secondary trading, may depend
in great measure upon the willingness and efforts of successor management to
encourage interest in the Company within the United States financial community.
The Company does not have the market support of an underwriter that would
normally follow a public offering of its securities. Initial market makers are
likely to simply post bid and asked prices and are unlikely to take positions in
the Company's securities for their own account or customers without active
encouragement and a basis for doing so. In addition, certain market makers may
take short positions in the Company's securities, which may result in a
significant pressure on their market price. The Company may consider the ability
and commitment of a target company to actively encourage interest in its
securities following a business combination in deciding whether to enter into a
transaction with such company.
A business combination with the Company separates the process of becoming a
public company from the raising of investment capital. As a result, a business
combination with a Company normally will not be a beneficial transaction for a
target company whose primary reason for becoming a public company is the
immediate infusion of capital. The Company may require assurances from the
target company that it has or that it has a reasonable belief that it will have
sufficient sources of capital to continue operations following the business
combination. However, it is possible that a target company may give such
assurances in error, or that the basis for such belief may change as a result of
circumstances beyond the control of the target company.
Prior to completion of a business combination, the Company will generally
require that it be provided with written materials regarding the target company
containing such items as a description of products, services and company
history; management resumes; financial information; available projections, with
related assumptions upon which they are based; an explanation of proprietary
products and services; evidence of existing patents, trademarks, or service
marks, or rights thereto; present and proposed forms of compensation to
management; a description of transactions between such company and its
affiliates during relevant periods; a description of present and required
facilities; an analysis of risks and competitive conditions; a financial plan of
operation and estimated capital requirements; audited financial statements, or
if they are not available, unaudited financial statements, together with
reasonable assurances that audited financial statements would be able to be
produced within a reasonable period of time not to exceed 75 days following
completion of a business combination; and other information deemed relevant.

<PAGE>
COMPETITION
The Company will remain an insignificant participant among the firms which
engage in the acquisition of business opportunities. There are many established
venture capital and financial concerns which have significantly greater
financial and personnel resources and technical expertise than the Company. In
view of the Company's combined extremely limited financial resources and limited
management availability, the Company will continue to be at a significant
competitive disadvantage compared to the Company's competitors.
ITEM 3. DESCRIPTION OF PROPERTY
The Company has no properties and at this time has no agreements to acquire
any properties. The Company currently uses the offices of management at no cost
to the Company. Management has agreed to continue this arrangement until the
Company completes an acquisition or merger.
ITEM 4. SECURITY OWNERSHIP OF CERTAIN BENEFICIAL OWNERS AND MANAGEMENT.
The following table sets forth each person known by the Company to be the
beneficial owner of five percent or more of the Company's Common Stock, all

Mr.Ghini has been primarily involved in all the various aspects of the Real
Estate industry during the past two decades. In the years 1991-1999 Mr. Ghini
served as a consultant for private companies involved in real estate
developments. Responsibilities included the assembly, design, rezoning and sale
to contractors of turnkey, ready to build multi-family sites in the Greater
Vancouver B.C. area. During the years 1977-1991 Mr. Ghini worked as a licenced
Realtor involved in residential and commercial sales throughout the Province of
British Columbia.
There are no agreements or understandings for the officer or director to
resign at the request of another person and the above-named officer and director
is not acting on behalf of nor will act at the direction of any other person.
PREVIOUS BLANK CHECK COMPANIES- Scovel Management Inc.
CURRENT BLANK CHECK COMPANIES- Scovel Management Inc., Corsea Management Inc.,
Anmore Management Inc., Burnam Management Inc., Raybor Management Inc.
Management may be in the future, an officer, director and/or beneficial
shareholder of other blank check companies. The initial business purpose of
these companies is to engage in a business combination with an unidentified
company or companies and will be classified as a blank check company until
completion of a business combination. In most instances when a business
combination is transacted with a blank check company, it is required to file a
Current Report on Form 8-K describing the transaction.

CONFLICTS OF INTEREST
The Company's officer and director expects to organize other companies of a
similar nature and with a similar purpose as the Company. Consequently, there
are potential inherent conflicts of interest in acting as an officer and
director of the Company. Insofar as the officer and director is engaged in other
business activities, management anticipates that it will devote only a minor
amount of time to the Company's affairs. The Company does not have a right of
first refusal pertaining to opportunities that come to management's attention
insofar as such opportunities may relate to the Company's proposed business
operations.
A conflict may arise in the event that another blank check company with
which management is affiliated is formed and actively seeks a target company. It
is anticipated that target companies will be located for the Company and other
blank check companies in chronological order of the date of formation of such
blank check companies or, in the case of blank check companies formed on the
same date, alphabetically. However, any blank check companies with which
management is, or may be, affiliated may differ from the Company in certain
items such as place of incorporation, number of shares and shareholders, working
capital, types of authorized securities, or other items. It may be that a target
company may be more suitable for or may prefer a certain blank check company
formed after the Company. In such case, a business combination might be
negotiated on behalf of the more suitable or preferred blank check company
regardless of date of formation. Mr.Ghini will be responsible for seeking,
evaluating, negotiating and consummating a business combination with a target
company which may result in terms providing benefits to Mr.Ghini.
Mr.Ghini is a business consultant in Vancouver B.C. As such, demands may be
placed on the time of Mr.Ghini which will detract from the amount of time he is
able to devote to the Company. Mr.Ghini intends to devote as much time to the
activities of the Company as required. However, should such a conflict arise,
there is no assurance that Mr.Ghini would not attend to other matters prior to
those of the Company. Mr.Ghini projects that initially up to ten hours per month
of his time may be spent locating a target company which amount of time would
increase when the analysis of, and negotiations and consummation with, a target
company are conducted.
Mr.Ghini is the president, director and controlling shareholder of the
Company. Gerald Ghini is the sole shareholder and owns 5,000,000 shares of the
Company's common stock. At the time of a business combination, management
expects that some or all of the shares of Common Stock owned by Gerald Ghini
will be purchased by the target company or retired by the Company. The amount of
Common Stock sold or continued to be owned by Gerald Ghini cannot be determined
at this time.
The terms of business combination may include such terms as Mr.Ghini
remaining a director or officer of the Company. The terms of a business
combination may provide for a payment by cash or otherwise to Gerald Ghini for
the purchase or retirement of all or part of its common stock of the Company by
a target company or for services rendered incident to or following a business
combination. Mr.Ghini would directly benefit from such employment or payment.
Such benefits may influence Mr.Ghini's choice of a target company.
14
<PAGE>
The Company may agree to pay finder's fees, as appropriate and allowed, to
unaffiliated persons who may bring a target company to the Company where that
reference results in a business combination. No finder's fee of any kind will be
paid by the Company to management or promoters of the Company or to their
associates or affiliates. No loans of any type have, or will be, made by the
Company to management or promoters of the Company or to any of their associates
or affiliates.
The Company will not enter into a business combination, or acquire any
assets of any kind for its securities, in which management of the Company or any
affiliates or associates have any interest, direct or indirect.
There are no binding guidelines or procedures for resolving potential
conflicts of interest. Failure by management to resolve conflicts of interest in
favor of the Company could result in liability of management to the Company.
However, any attempt by shareholders to enforce a liability of management to the
Company would most likely be prohibitively expensive and time consuming.
INVESTMENT COMPANY ACT OF 1940
Although the Company will be subject to regulation under the Securities Act
of 1933 and the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, management believes the Company
will not be subject to regulation under the Investment Company Act of 1940
insofar as the Company will not be engaged in the business of investing or
trading in securities. In the event the Company engages in business combinations
which result in the Company holding passive investment interests in a number of
entities the Company could be subject to regulation under the Investment Company
Act of 1940. In such event, the Company would be required to register as an
investment company and could be expected to incur significant registration and
compliance costs. The Company has obtained no formal determination from the
Securities and Exchange Commission as to the status of the Company under the
Investment Company Act of 1940. Any violation of such Act would subject the
Company to material adverse consequences.
ITEM 6. EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION.
The Company's officer and director does not receive any compensation for
his services rendered to the Company, has not received such compensation in the
past, and is not accruing any compensation pursuant to any agreement with the
Company. However, the officer and director of the Company anticipates receiving
benefits as a beneficial shareholder of the Company and, possibly, in other
ways. See "ITEM 5. DIRECTORS, EXECUTIVE OFFICERS, PROMOTERS AND CONTROL PERSONS
Conflicts of Interest".
No retirement, pension, profit sharing, stock option or insurance programs
or other similar programs have been adopted by the Company for the benefit of
its employees.
ITEM 7. CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS.
The Company has issued a total of 5,000,000 shares of Common Stock to the
following persons for a total of $210 paid in cash:
Name Number of Total Shares Consideration
Gerald Ghini 5,000,000 $210
Mr.Ghini is the sole director, controlling shareholder and president of
Gerald Ghini. With respect to the sales made to Gerald Ghini, the Company relied
upon Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities
Act") and Rule 506 promulgated thereunder.

ITEM 8. DESCRIPTION OF SECURITIES.
The authorized capital stock of the Company consists of 100,000,000 shares
of Common Stock, par value $.0001 per share. The following statements relating
to the capital stock set forth the material terms of the Company's securities;
however, reference is made to the more detailed provisions of, and such
statements are qualified in their entirety by reference to, the Certificate of
Incorporation and the By-laws, copies of which are filed as exhibits to this
registration statement.
COMMON STOCK
Holders of shares of common stock are entitled to one vote for each share
on all matters to be voted on by the stockholders. Holders of common stock do
not have cumulative voting rights. Holders of common stock are entitled to share
ratably in dividends, if any, as may be declared from time to time by the Board
of Directors in its discretion from funds legally available therefor. In the
event of a liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company, the holders of
common stock are entitled to share pro rata all assets remaining after payment
in full of all liabilities. All of the outstanding shares of common stock are
fully paid and non-assessable.
Holders of common stock have no preemptive rights to purchase the Company's
common stock. There are no conversion or redemption rights or sinking fund
provisions with respect to the common stock.
DIVIDENDS
Dividends, if any, will be contingent upon the Company's revenues and
earnings, if any, capital requirements and financial conditions. The payment of
dividends, if any, will be within the discretion of the Company's Board of
Directors. The Company presently intends to retain all earnings, if any, for use
in its business operations and accordingly, the Board of Directors does not
anticipate declaring any dividends prior to a business combination.
TRADING OF SECURITIES IN SECONDARY MARKET
The National Securities Market Improvement Act of 1996 limited the
authority of states to impose restrictions upon sales of securities made
pursuant to Sections 4(1) and 4(3) of the Securities Act of companies which file
reports under Sections 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act. Upon effectiveness of
this Registration Statement, the Company will be required to, and will, file
reports under Section 13 of the Exchange Act. As a result, sales of the
Company's common stock in the secondary market by the holders thereof may then
be made pursuant to Section 4(1) of the Securities Act (sales other than by an
issuer, underwriter or broker).
Following a business combination, a target company will normally wish to
list the Company's common stock for trading in one or more United States
markets. The target company may elect to apply for such listing immediately
following the business combination or at some later time.

<PAGE>
In order to qualify for listing on the Nasdaq SmallCap Market, a company
must have at least (i) net tangible assets of $4,000,000 or market
capitalization of $50,000,000 or net income for two of the last three years of
$750,000; (ii) public float of 1,000,000 shares with a market value of
$5,000,000; (iii) a bid price of $4.00; (iv) three market makers; (v) 300
shareholders and (vi) an operating history of one year or, if less than one
year, $50,000,000 in market capitalization. For continued listing on the Nasdaq
SmallCap Market, a company must have at least (i) net tangible assets of
$2,000,000 or market capitalization of $35,000,000 or net income for two of the
last three years of $500,000; (ii) a public float of 500,000 shares with a
market value of $1,000,000; (iii) a bid price of $1.00; (iv) two market makers;
and (v) 300 shareholders.
If, after a business combination, the Company does not meet the
qualifications for listing on the Nasdaq SmallCap Market, the Company's may
apply for quotation of its securities on the NASD OTC Bulletin Board. In certain
cases the Company may elect to have its securities initially quoted on the NASD
OTC Bulletin Board or in the "pink sheets" published by the National Quotation
Bureau, Inc.
TRANSFER AGENT
It is anticipated that Holiday Stock Transfer, 100f, 4350 E. Camelback Rd.
Phoenix Arizona, 85018 will act as transfer agent for the common stock of the
Company.

PART II
ITEM 1. MARKET PRICE FOR COMMON EQUITY AND RELATED STOCKHOLDER MATTERS.
(A) MARKET PRICE. There is no trading market for the Company's Common Stock
at present and there has been no trading market to date. There is no assurance
that a trading market will ever develop or, if such a market does develop, that
it will continue.
The Securities and Exchange Commission has adopted Rule 15g-9 which
establishes the definition of a "penny stock," for purposes relevant to the
Company, as any equity security that has a market price of less than $5.00 per
share or with an exercise price of less than $5.00 per share, subject to certain
exceptions. For any transaction involving a penny stock, unless exempt, the
rules require: (i) that a broker or dealer approve a person's account for
transactions in penny stocks and (ii) the broker or dealer receive from the
investor a written agreement to the transaction, setting forth the identity and
quantity of the penny stock to be purchased. In order to approve a person's
account for transactions in penny stocks, the broker or dealer must (i) obtain
financial information and investment experience and objectives of the person;
and (ii) make a reasonable determination that the transactions in penny stocks
are suitable for that person and that person has sufficient knowledge and
experience in financial matters to be capable of evaluating the risks of
transactions in penny stocks. The broker or dealer must also deliver, prior to
any transaction in a penny stock, a disclosure schedule prepared by the
Commission relating to the penny stock market, which, in highlight form, (i)
sets forth the basis on which the broker or dealer made the suitability
determination and (ii) that the broker or dealer received a signed, written
agreement from the investor prior to the transaction. Disclosure also has to be
made about the risks of investing in penny stocks in both public offerings and
in secondary trading, and about commissions payable to both the broker-dealer
and the registered representative, current quotations for the securities and the
rights and remedies available to an investor in cases of fraud in penny stock
transactions. Finally, monthly statements have to be sent disclosing recent
price information for the penny stock held in the account and information on the
limited market in penny stocks.
(B) HOLDERS. There is one holder of the Company's Common Stock. The issued
and outstanding shares of the Company's Common Stock were issued in accordance
with the exemptions from registration afforded by Section 4(2) of the Securities
Act of 1933 and Rule 506 promulgated thereunder.
(C) DIVIDENDS. The Company has not paid any dividends to date, and has no
plans to do so in the immediate future.

ITEM 2. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS.
There is no litigation pending or threatened by or against the Company.
ITEM 3. CHANGES IN AND DISAGREEMENTS WITH ACCOUNTANTS ON ACCOUNTING AND
FINANCIAL DISCLOSURE.
The Company has not changed accountants since its formation and there are
no disagreements with the findings of its accountants.
ITEM 4. RECENT SALES OF UNREGISTERED SECURITIES.
During the past three years, the Company has sold securities which were
not registered as follows:
Date Name Number of Shares Consideration
March 3, 2000 Gerald Ghini 5,000,000 $210
--------
Mr. Ghini is the sole director, controlling shareholder and president of
Gerald Ghini. With respect to the sales made to Gerald Ghini, the Company relied
upon Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended and Rule 506
promulgated thereunder.
ITEM 5. INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS.
Section 145 of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware
provides that a certificate of incorporation may contain a provision eliminating
the personal liability of a director to the corporation or its stockholders for
monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director provided that such
provision shall not eliminate or limit the liability of a director (i) for any
breach of the director's duty of loyalty to the corporation or its stockholders,
(ii) for acts or omissions not in good faith or which involve intentional
misconduct or a knowing violation of law, (iii) under Section 174 (relating to
liability for unauthorized acquisitions or redemptions of, or dividends on,
capital stock) of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware, or (iv)
for any transaction from which the director derived an improper personal
benefit. The Company's Certificate of Incorporation contains such a provision.
INSOFAR AS INDEMNIFICATION FOR LIABILITIES ARISING UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF
1933, AS AMENDED, MAY BE PERMITTED TO DIRECTORS, OFFICERS OR PERSONS CONTROLLING
THE COMPANY PURSUANT TO THE FOREGOING PROVISIONS, IT IS THE OPINION OF THE
SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION THAT SUCH INDEMNIFICATION IS AGAINST PUBLIC
POLICY AS EXPRESSED IN THE ACT AND IS THEREFORE UNENFORCEABLE.

To the Board of Directors of:

Auditor's Report
AUDITOR'S REPORT
To the Board of Directors
Allmon Management Inc.
(A Development Stage Company)
I have audited the balance sheet of Allmon Management Inc. (a development stage
company)as at March 6, 2000 and the statements of operations, cash flows and
changes in stockholder's equity for the period from incorporation on March 3,
2000 to March 6, 2000. These financial statements are the responsibility of the
Company's management. My responsibility is to express an opinion on these
financial statements based on my audit.
I conducted my audit in accordance with Canadian generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that I plan and perform an audit to obtain
reasonable assurance whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes
assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by
management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.
In my opinion, these financial statements present fairly, in all material
respects, the financial position of the Company as at March 6, 2000 and the
results of its operations and its cash flows for the period from incorporation
on March 3, 2000 to March 6, 2000 in accordance with Canadian generally accepted
accounting principles.

AS OF MARCH 6, 2000
-------------------
NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
- ---------------------------------------------------
1. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
A Basis of presentation
--------------------------
The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with
generally accepted accounting principles in Canada and are reported in
US dollars, the Company's functional currency. There are no
significant differences from generally accepted accounting principles
in the United States and the rules and regulations promulgated by the
Securities and Exchange Commission. Amounts reported in the statements
of operations and deficit and cash flows for the period ended March 6,
2000 are from the date of the Company's incorporation, March 3, 2000.
B. Organization and Business Operations
-----------------------------------------
Allmon Management, Inc. (a development stage company) ("the Company")
was incorporated in Delaware on March 3, 2000 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
March 6, 2000, 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.
C. 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.
D. 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.
E. Income Taxes
-----------------
The Company accounts for income taxes under the Financial Accounting
Standards Board of Financial Accounting Standards No. 109, "Accounting
for Income Taxes" ("Statement 109"). Under Statement 109, deferred tax
assets and liabilities are

- ------------------------------------------------------------
E. Income Taxes - Cont'd
--------------------------
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 expenses or
benefits due to the Company not having any material operations for the
period ended March 6, 2000.
F. New Accounting Pronouncements
----------------------------------
The Financial Accounting Standards Board has recently issued several
new accounting pronouncements. Statement No. 129, "Disclosure of
Information about Capital Structure" establishes standards for
disclosing information about an entity's capital structure, is
effective for financial statements for periods ending after December
15, 1998 and has been adopted by the Company. Statement No. 130,
"Reporting Comprehensive Income" establishes standards for reporting
and display of comprehensive income and its components, and is
effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 1997.
Statement No. 131, "Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and
Related Information" establishes standards for the way that public
business enterprises report information about operating segments in
annual financial statements and requires that those enterprises report
selected information about operating segments in interim financial
reports issued to shareholders. It also establishes standards for
related disclosures about products and services, geographic areas, and
major customers, and is effective for financial statements for periods
beginning after December 15, 1997. The Company believes that its
adoption of Statements 130 and 131 will not have a material effect on
the Company's financial position or results of operations

Interested Directors, Officers and Securityholders
A. Validity. If Paragraph (B) is satisfied, no contract or other transaction
between the Corporation and any of its directors, officers or securityholders,
or any corporation or firm in which any of them are directly or indirectly

the presence of the director, officer or securityholder at the meeting of the
Board of Directors or committee authorizing the contract or transaction, or his
participation or vote in the meeting or authorization.
B. Disclosure, Approval, Fairness. Paragraph (A) shall apply only if:
(1) The material facts of the relationship or interest of each such director,
officer or securityholder are known or disclosed:
(a) to the Board of Directors or the committee and it nevertheless authorizes or
ratifies the contract or transaction by a majority of the directors present,
each such interested director to be counted in determining whether a quorum is
present but not in calculating the majority necessary to carry the vote; or (
(b) to the Shareholders and they nevertheless authorize or ratify the contract
or transaction by a majority of the shares present, each such interested person

Indemnification and Insurance
A. Persons. The Corporation shall indemnify, to the extent provided in
Paragraphs (B), (D) or (F) and to the extent permitted from time to time by law:
(1) any person who is or was director, officer, agent or employee of the
Corporation, and
(2) any person who serves or served at the Corporation's request as a director,
officer, agent, employee, partner or trustee of another corporation or of a
partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise.
B. Extent--Derivative Suits. In case of a suit by or in the right of the
Corporation against a person named in Paragraph (A) by reason of his holding a
position named in Paragraph (A), the Corporation shall indemnify him, if he
satisfies the standard in Paragraph (C), for expenses (including attorney's fees
but excluding amounts paid in settlement) actually and reasonably incurred by
him in connection with the defense or settlement of the suit.
C. Standard--Derivative Suits. In case of a suit by or in the right of the
Corporation, a person named in Paragraph (A) shall be indemnified only if:
(1) he is successful on the merits or otherwise, or
(2) he acted in good faith in the transaction which is the subject of the suit,
and in a manner he reasonably believed to be in, or not opposed to, the best
interests of the Corporation. However, he shall not be indemnified in respect of
any claim, issue or matter as to which he has been adjudged liable for
negligence or misconduct in the performance of his duty to the Corporation
unless (and only to the extent that) the court in which the suit was brought
shall determine, upon application, that despite the adjudication but in view of
all the circumstances, he is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for
such expenses as the court shall deem proper.
<PAGE>
D. Extent--Nonderivative Suits. In
case of a suit, action or proceeding (whether civil, criminal, administrative or
investigative), other than a suit by or in the right of the Corporation against
a person named in Paragraph (A) by reason of his holding a position named in
Paragraph (A), the Corporation shall indemnify him, if he satisfies the standard
in Paragraph (E), for amounts actually and reasonably incurred by him in
connection with the defense or settlement of the suit as
(1) expenses (including attorneys' fees),
(2) amounts paid in settlement
(3) judgments, and
(4) fines.
E. Standard--Nonderivative Suits. In case of a nonderivative suit, a person
named in Paragraph (A) shall be indemnified only if:
(1) he is successful on the merits or otherwise, or
(2) he acted in good faith in the transaction which is the subject of the
nonderivative suit, and in a manner he reasonably believed to be in, or not
opposed to, the best interests of the Corporation and , with respect to any
criminal action or proceeding, he had no reason to believe his conduct was
unlawful. The termination of a nonderivative suit by judgement, order,
settlement, conviction, or upon a plea of nolo contendere or its equivalent
shall not, of itself, create a presumption that the person failed to satisfy
this Paragraph (E) (2).
F. Determination That Standard Has Been Met. A determination that the standard
of Paragraph (C) or (E) has been satisfied may be made by a court of law or
equity or the determination may be made by:
(1) a majority of the directors of the Corporation (whether or not a quorum) who
were not parties to the action, suit or proceeding, or
(2) independent legal counsel (appointed by a majority of the directors of the
Corporation, whether or not a quorum, or elected by the Shareholders of the
Corporation) in a written opinion, or
(3) the Shareholders of the Corporation.
G. Proration. Anyone making a determination under Paragraph (F) may determine
that a person has met the standard as to some matters but not as to others, and
may reasonably prorate amounts to be indemnified.
H. Advance Payment. The Corporation may pay in advance any expenses (including
attorney's fees) which may become subject to indemnification under paragraphs
(A) - (G) if:
(1) the Board of Directors authorizes the specific payment and
(2) the person receiving the payment undertakes in writing to repay unless it is
ultimately determined that he is entitled to indemnification by the Corporation
under Paragraphs (A) - (G).
I. Nonexclusive. The indemnification provided by Paragraphs (A) - (G) shall not
be exclusive of any other rights to which a person may be entitled by law or by
by-law, agreement, vote of Shareholders or disinterested directors, or
otherwise.
J. Continuation. The indemnification and advance payment provided by Paragraphs
(A) - (H) shall continue as to a person who has ceased to hold a position named
in paragraph (A) and shall inure to his heirs, executors and administrators.
K. Insurance. The Corporation may purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of
any person who holds or who has held any position named in Paragraph (A) against
any liability incurred by him in any such positions or arising out of this
status as such, whether or not the Corporation would have power to indemnify him
against such liability under Paragraphs (A) - (H).
<PAGE>
L. Reports. Indemnification payments, advance payments, and insurance purchases
and payments made under Paragraphs (A) - (K) shall be reported in writing to the
Shareholders of the Corporation with the next notice of annual meeting, or
within six months, whichever is sooner.
M. Amendment of Article. Any changes in the General Corporation Law of Delaware
increasing, decreasing, amending, changing or otherwise effecting the
indemnification of directors, officers, agents, or employees of the Corporation
shall be incorporated by reference in this Article as of the date of such
changes without further action by the Corporation, its Board of Directors, of
Shareholders, it being the intention of this Article that directors, officers,
agents and employees of the Corporation shall be indemnified to the maximum
degree allowed by the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware at all
times

eliminate or limit the liability of a director to the Corporation or its

or which involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law (iii) for
any unlawful payment of dividends or unlawful stock purchases or redemptions in
violation of Section 174 of the General Corporation Law of Delaware or (iv) for
any transaction for which the director derived an improper personal benefit.
I , THE UNDERSIGNED, for the purpose of forming a corporation under the laws of
the State of Delaware, do make, file and record this certificate, and do certify
that the facts stated herein are true, and I have accordingly set my hand.

the notice of the meeting, for the election of directors and for the transaction
of such other business as may come before the meeting.
SECTION 1.2. SPECIAL MEETINGS. A special meeting of the stockholders may be
called at any time by the written resolution or request of two-thirds or more of
the members of the Board of Directors, the president, or any executive vice
president and shall be called upon the written request of the holders of
two-thirds or more in amount, of each class or series of the capital stock of
the Corporation entitled to vote at such meeting on the matters(s) that are the
subject of the proposed meeting, such written request in each case to specify
the purpose or purposes for which such meeting shall be called, and with respect
to stockholder proposals, shall further comply with the requirements of this
Article.
SECTION 1.3. NOTICE OF MEETINGS. Written notice of each meeting of
stockholders, whether annual or special, stating the date, hour and place where
it is to be held, shall be served either personally or by mail, not less than
fifteen nor more than sixty days before the meeting, upon each stockholder of
record entitled to vote at such meeting, and to any other stockholder to whom
the giving of notice may be required by law. Notice of a special meeting shall
also state the purpose or purposes for which the meeting is called and shall
indicate that it is being issued by, or at the direction of, the person or
persons calling the meeting. If, at any meeting, action is proposed to be taken
that would, if taken, entitle stockholders to receive payment for their stock,
the notice of such meeting shall include a statement of that purpose and to that
effect. If mailed, notice shall be deemed to be delivered when deposited in the
United States mail or with any private express mail service, postage or delivery
fee prepaid, and shall be directed to each such stockholder at his address, as
it appears on the records of the stockholders of the Corporation, unless he
shall have previously filed with the secretary of the Corporation a written
request that notices intended for him be mailed to some other address, in which
case, it shall be mailed to the address designated in such request.
SECTION 1.4. FIXING DATE OF RECORD. (a) In order that the Corporation may
determine the stockholders entitled to notice of or to vote at any meeting of
stockholders, or any adjournment thereof, the Board of Directors may fix a
record date, which record date shall not precede the date upon which the
resolution fixing the record date is adopted by the Board of Directors, and
which record date shall not be more than sixty nor less than ten days before the
date of such meeting. If no record date is fixed by the Board of Directors, the
record date for determining stockholders entitled to notice of, or to vote at, a
meeting of stockholders shall be at the close of business on the day next
preceding the day on which notice is given, or if notice is waived, at the close
of business on the day next preceding the day on which the meeting is held. A
determination of stockholders of record entitled to notice of, or to vote at, a
meeting of stockholders shall apply to any adjournment of the meeting; provided,
however, that the Board of Directors may fix a new record date for the adjourned
meeting.
<PAGE>
(b) In order that the Corporation may determine the stockholders entitled
to consent to corporate action in writing without a meeting (to the extent that
such action by written consent is permitted by law, the Certificate of
Incorporation or these By-Laws), the Board of Directors may fix a record date,
which record date shall not precede the date upon which the resolution fixing
the record date is adopted by the Board of Directors, and which date shall not
be more than ten days after the date upon which the resolution fixing the record
date is adopted by the Board of Directors. If no record date has been fixed by
the Board of Directors, the record date for determining stockholders entitled to
consent to corporate action in writing without a meeting, when no prior action
by the Board of Directors is required by law, shall be the first date on which a
signed written consent setting forth the action taken or proposed to be taken is
delivered to the Corporation by delivery to its registered office in its state
of incorporation, its principal place of business, or an officer or agent of the
Corporation having custody of the book in which proceedings of meetings of
stockholders are recorded. Delivery made to the Corporation's registered office
shall be by hand or by certified or registered mail, return receipt requested.
If no record date has been fixed by the Board of Directors and prior action by
the Board of Directors is required by law, the record date for determining
stockholders entitled to consent to corporate action in writing without a
meeting shall be at the close of business on the day on which the Board of
Directors adopts the resolution taking such prior action.
(c) In order that the Corporation may determine the stockholders entitled
to receive payment of any dividend or other distribution or allotment of any
rights or the stockholders entitled to exercise any rights in respect of any
change, conversion or exchange of stock, or for the purpose of any other lawful
action, the Board of Directors may fix a record date, which record date shall
not precede the date upon which the resolution fixing the record date is
adopted, and which record date shall be not more than sixty days prior to such
action. If no record date is fixed, the record date for determining stockholders
for any such purpose shall be at the close of business on the day on which the
Board of Directors adopts the resolution relating thereto.
SECTION 1.5. INSPECTORS. At each meeting of the stockholders, the polls
shall be opened and closed and the proxies and ballots shall be received and be
taken in charge. All questions touching on the qualification of voters and the
validity of proxies and the acceptance or rejection of votes, shall be decided
by one or more inspectors. Such inspectors shall be appointed by the Board of
Directors before or at the meeting, or, if no such appointment shall have been
made, then by the presiding officer at the meeting. If for any reason any of the
inspectors previously appointed shall fail to attend or refuse or be unable to
serve, inspectors in place of any so failing to attend or refusing or unable to
serve shall be appointed in like manner.
<PAGE>
SECTION 1.6. QUORUM. At any meeting of the stockholders, the holders of a
majority of the shares entitled to vote, represented in person or by proxy,
shall constitute a quorum of the stockholders for all purposes, unless the
representation of a larger number shall be required by law, and, in that case,
the representation of the number so required shall constitute a quorum.
If the holders of the amount of stock necessary to constitute a quorum
shall fail to attend in person or by proxy at the time and place fixed in
accordance with these By-Laws for an annual or special meeting, a majority in
interest of the stockholders present in person or by proxy may adjourn, from
time to time, without notice other than by announcement at the meeting, until
holders of the amount of stock requisite to constitute a quorum shall attend. At
any such adjourned meeting at which a quorum shall be present, any business may
be transacted which might have been transacted at the meeting as originally
notified.
SECTION 1.7. BUSINESS. The chairman of the Board, if any, the president, or
in his absence the vice-chairman, if any, or an executive vice president, in the
order named, shall call meetings of the stockholders to order, and shall act as
chairman of such meeting; provided, however, that the Board of Directors or
executive committee may appoint any stockholder to act as chairman of any
meeting in the absence of the chairman of the Board. The secretary of the
Corporation shall act as secretary at all meetings of the stockholders, but in
the absence of the secretary at any meeting of the stockholders, the presiding
officer may appoint any person to act as secretary of the meeting.
SECTION 1.8. STOCKHOLDER PROPOSALS. No proposal by a stockholder shall be
presented for vote at a special or annual meeting of stockholders unless such
stockholder shall, not later than the close of business on the fifth day
following the date on which notice of the meeting is first given to
stockholders, provide the Board of Directors or the secretary of the Corporation
with written notice of intention to present a proposal for action at the
forthcoming meeting of stockholders, which notice shall include the name and
address of such stockholder, the number of voting securities that he holds of
record and that he holds beneficially, the text of the proposal to be presented
to the meeting and a statement in support of the proposal.
Any stockholder who was a stockholder of record on the applicable record
date may make any other proposal at an annual meeting or special meeting of
stockholders and the same may be discussed and considered, but unless stated in
writing and filed with the Board of Directors or the secretary prior to the date
set forth herein above, such proposal shall be laid over for action at an
adjourned, special, or annual meeting of the stockholders taking place sixty
days or more thereafter. This provision shall not prevent the consideration and
approval or disapproval at the annual meeting of reports of officers, directors,
and committees, but in connection with such reports, no new business proposed by
a stockholder, qua stockholder, shall be acted upon at such annual meeting
unless stated and filed as herein provided.
<PAGE>
Notwithstanding any other provision of these By-Laws, the Corporation shall
be under no obligation to include any stockholder proposal in its proxy
statement materials or otherwise present any such proposal to stockholders at a
special or annual meeting of stockholders if the Board of Directors reasonably
believes the proponents thereof have not complied with Sections 13 or 14 of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and the rules and regulations
thereunder; nor shall the Corporation be required to include any stockholder
proposal not required to be included in its proxy materials to stockholders in
accordance with any such section, rule or regulation.
SECTION 1.9. PROXIES. At all meetings of stockholders, a stockholder
entitled to vote may vote either in person or by proxy executed in writing by
the stockholder or by his duly authorized attorney-in-fact. Such proxy shall be
filed with the secretary before or at the time of the meeting. No proxy shall be
valid after eleven months from the date of its execution, unless otherwise
provided in the proxy.
SECTION 1.10. VOTING BY BALLOT. The votes for directors, and upon the
demand of any stockholder or when required by law, the votes upon any question
before the meeting, shall be by ballot.
SECTION 1.11. VOTING LISTS. The officer who has charge of the stock ledger
of the Corporation shall prepare and make, at least ten days before every
meeting of stockholders, a complete list of the stockholders entitled to vote at
the meeting, arranged in alphabetical order, and showing the address of each
stockholder and the number of shares of stock registered in the name of each
stockholder. Such list shall be open to the examination of any stockholder, for
any purpose germane to the meeting, during ordinary business hours for a period
of at least ten days prior to the meeting, either at a place within the city
where the meeting is to be held, which place shall be specified in the notice of
the meeting, or if not so specified, at the place where the meeting is to be
held. The list shall also be produced and kept at the time and place of the
meeting during the whole time thereof and may be inspected by any stockholder
who is present.
SECTION 1.12. PLACE OF MEETING. The Board of Directors may designate any
place, either within or without the state of incorporation, as the place of
meeting for any annual meeting or any special meeting called by the Board of
Directors. If no designation is made or if a special meeting is otherwise
called, the place of meeting shall be the principal office of the Corporation.
SECTION 1.13. VOTING OF STOCK OF CERTAIN HOLDERS. Shares of capital stock
of the Corporation standing in the name of another corporation, domestic or
foreign, may be voted by such officer, agent, or proxy as the by-laws of such
corporation may prescribe, or in the absence of such provision, as the board of
directors of such corporation may determine.
Shares of capital stock of the Corporation standing in the name of a
deceased person, a minor ward or an incompetent person may be voted by his
administrator, executor, court-appointed guardian or
<PAGE>
conservator, either in person or by proxy, without a transfer of such stock into
the name of such administrator, executor, court-appointed guardian or
conservator. Shares of capital stock of the Corporation standing in the name of
a trustee may be voted by him, either in person or by proxy.
Shares of capital stock of the Corporation standing in the name of a
receiver may be voted, either in person or by proxy, by such receiver, and stock
held by or under the control of a receiver may be voted by such receiver without
the transfer thereof into his name if authority to do so is contained in any
appropriate order of the court by which such receiver was appointed.
A stockholder whose stock is pledged shall be entitled to vote such stock,
either in person or by proxy, until the stock has been transferred into the name
of the pledgee, and thereafter the pledgee shall be entitled to vote, either in
person or by proxy, the stock so transferred.
Shares of its own capital stock belonging to this Corporation shall not be
voted, directly or indirectly, at any meeting and shall not be counted in
determining the total number of outstanding stock at any given time, but shares
of its own stock held by it in a fiduciary capacity may be voted and shall be
counted in determining the total number of outstanding stock at any given time.

waive notice in writing either before or after the meeting. The notice of
meetings of the Board need not state the purpose of the meeting.
SECTION 2.9. PARTICIPATION BY CONFERENCE TELEPHONE. Members of the Board of
Directors of the Corporation, or any committee thereof, may participate in a
regular or special or any other meeting of the Board or committee by means of

shall constitute presence in person at such meeting.
<PAGE>
SECTION 2.10. ACTION BY WRITTEN CONSENT. Any action required or permitted
to be taken at any meeting of the Board of Directors, or of any committee
thereof, may be taken without a meeting if prior or subsequent to such action
all the members of the Board or such committee, as the case may be, consent
thereto in writing, and the writing or writings are filed with the minutes of
the proceedings of the Board or committee.
SECTION 2.11. QUORUM. A majority of the total number of directors then in

order named, shall preside.
SECTION 2.13. INTEREST OF DIRECTORS IN CONTRACTS. (a) No contract or
transaction between the Corporation and one or more of its directors or
officers, or between the Corporation and any other corporation, partnership,
association, or other organization in which one or more of the Corporation's
directors or officers, are directors or officers, or have a financial interest,
shall be void or voidable solely for this reason, or solely because the director
or officer is present at or participates in the meeting of the Board or
committee which authorizes the contract or transaction, or solely because his or
their votes are counted for such purpose, if:
(1) The material facts as to his relationship or interest and as to the
contract or transaction are disclosed or are known to the Board of
Directors or the committee, and the Board or committee in good faith
authorizes the contract or transaction by the affirmative votes of a
majority of the disinterested directors, even though the disinterested
directors be less than a quorum; or

contract or transaction are disclosed or are known to the stockholders
entitled to vote thereon, and the contract or transaction is

quorum at a meeting of the Board of Directors or of a committee which authorizes
the contract or transaction.
<PAGE>
SECTION 2.14. COMPENSATION OF DIRECTORS. Each director of the Corporation
who is not a salaried officer or employee of the Corporation, or of a subsidiary
of the Corporation, shall receive such allowances for serving as a director and
such fees for attendance at meetings of the Board of Directors or the executive
committee or any other committee appointed by the Board as the Board may from
time to time determine.
SECTION 2.15. LOANS TO OFFICERS OR EMPLOYEES. The Board of Directors may
lend money to, guarantee any obligation of, or otherwise assist, any officer or
other employee of the Corporation or of any subsidiary, whether or not such
officer or employee is also a director of the Corporation, whenever, in the
judgment of the directors, such loan, guarantee, or assistance may reasonably be
expected to benefit the Corporation; provided, however, that any such loan,
guarantee, or other assistance given to an officer or employee who is also a
director of the Corporation must be authorized by a majority of the entire Board
of Directors. Any such loan, guarantee, or other assistance may be made with or
without interest and may be unsecured or secured in such manner as the Board of
Directors shall approve, including, but not limited to, a pledge of shares of
the Corporation, and may be made upon such other terms and conditions as the
Board of Directors may determine.
SECTION 2.16. NOMINATION. Subject to the rights of holders of any class or
series of stock having a preference over the common stock as to dividends or
upon liquidation, nominations for the election of directors may be made by the
Board of Directors or by any stockholder entitled to vote in the election of
directors generally. However, any stockholder entitled to vote in the election
of directors generally may nominate one or more persons for election as
directors at a meeting only if written notice of such stockholder's intent to
make such nomination or nominations has been given, either by personal delivery
or by United States mail, postage prepaid, to the secretary of the Corporation
not later than (i) with respect to an election to be held at an annual meeting
of stockholders, the close of business on the last day of the eighth month after
the immediately preceding annual meeting of stockholders, and (ii) with respect
to an election to be held at a special meeting of stockholders for the election
of directors, the close of business on the fifth day following the date on which
notice of such meeting is first given to stockholders. Each such notice shall
set forth: (a) the name and address of the stockholder who intends to make the
nomination and of the person or persons to be nominated; (b) a representation
that the stockholder is a holder of record of stock of the Corporation entitled
to vote at such meeting and intends to appear in person or by proxy at the
meeting to nominate the person or persons specified in the notice; (c) a
description of all arrangements or understandings between the stockholder and
each nominee and any other person or persons (naming such person or persons)
