PART I
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
ITEM 1. DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
(a) Business Development
MICRON SOLUTIONS, INC. (the "Company" or the "Registrant" ) is a Nevada
corporation which was originally incorporated on September 5, 1997. On December
4, 1997, Shillelagh Ventures Chartered ("Shillelagh"), a Utah corporation, was
acquired by the Company through a merger.
Shillelagh was originally incorporated under the laws of the State of
Utah on January 18, 1974 under the name of Northwestern Construction Company
("Northwestern"). Northwestern became a publicly-held company on August 27, 1976
through a distribution of 24,000 shares of its common stock to the stockholders
of World Electors, Inc. On January 28, 1987 it changed its name to Shillelagh
Ventures, Chartered.
On April 15, 1987 Shillelagh offered 5,000,000 shares of its common
stock through a Private Placement Memorandum. On June 10, 1988, the Company
offered a maximum of 1,625,000 units and a minimum of 900,000 units consisting
of one (1) share of common stock and one (1) Class A Warrant per Unit. The
Company filed a Registration Statement on Form S-18 with respect to the Units of
the Company offered.
Shillelagh was a reporting company, filing under Commission file number
0- 17268. To management's knowledge, the last filing made on Shillelagh's behalf
was a Form 10-Q filed in the first quarter of 1989. At that time, Shillelagh was
a start-up company which intended to engage in the satellite communications
business and the leasing of related and other equipment. Some time after that
date, Shillelagh became inactive. In July of 1992, Shillelagh's charter was
revoked by the State of Utah and the Company was involuntarily dissolved.
Having learned that the Company had been dissolved and abandoned by
past management, a group of shareholders sought to have Shillelagh's charter
reinstated in 1997. In that regard, a petition to reinstate Shillelagh's charter
was filed in the Third District Court in Salt Lake County, State of Utah on
April 28, 1997. On August 12, 1997, the Third District Court entered an order
reinstating the Company's charter. The shareholders then installed new
management.

<PAGE>
New management entered into a merger agreement with Micron Solutions,
Inc., a Nevada corporation on September 9, 1997. Micron was incorporated on
September 5, 1997 for the purpose of this merger. At the time of the merger,
Shillelagh had an authorized capitalization of 10,000,000 shares of common
stock, having a par value of $0.005 per share, of which 9,908,002 shares were
issued and outstanding. At that same time, Micron had a capitalization of
100,000,000 shares of common stock, having a par value of $0.001 per share, of
which 1,000 shares were outstanding. Micron, the Nevada corporation, was the
surviving corporation.
Currently, the Company has a capitalization of 100,000,000 shares of
common stock with a par value of $0.001 per shares, of which 1,982,600 shares
are issued and outstanding. The Company currently has 404 shareholders.
(b) BUSINESS OF THE ISSUER
(1) Principal Products and Services and Their Markets
The Company provides specialized services directed to the investment
community but available to the general public through the internet. Revenue is
derived by clients willing to pay for specific information as to their
investment holdings as follows:
By accessing internet web-sit STOCKTRACING.COM (a domain name owned by
Micron Solutions, Inc.), a potential client can have any stock
certificate (old, new or obsolete) researched for current status and
value. The service is designed to inform holders of certificates of
stock in companies that have merged, changed names, been bought out of
failed, etc. whether there is any current value attached to their
certificates. The fee for a search in this category is $30.00. Should
the client have a certificate of value, the company will process it for
an additional fee at the owner's discretion.
The Company is also the owner of the domain name LOSTSTOCKHOLDERS.COM
and is developing a web-site for the purpose of listing shareholders of publicly
listed companies that have been classified as lost, missing, dormant, etc.
Access to the web-site and search by name of record will be free of charge,
however, additional information as to value, company name, along with how and
where to collect any property will be furnished for a fee of $50.00 along with
proper shareholder identification.
The Company plans to develop and/or acquire other businesses when the
opportunity becomes available.
-2-
<PAGE>
(2) Distribution Methods
The Company intends to market its products and services through direct
mailings and through the maintenance of an Internet website which describes such
services and products.
(3) Status of Publicly Announced New Products or Services
To date, the Company has not publicly announced the availability of its
services or products.
(4) Competitive Business Conditions
There are several corporations engaged in the type of business
activities contemplated by the Company. Those entities are presumed to be more
experienced and to possess substantially greater financial, technical and
personnel resources than the Company. While the Company hopes to be competitive
with other similar companies, there can be no assurance that such will be the
case.
(5) Suppliers
The Company intends to contact all listed public companies in an effort
to create a large database for its web-site LOSTSTOCKHOLDERS.COM. With regard to
the web-site STOCKTRACING.COM, the Company is in possession of books and
publications that provide the research needs to satisfy most inquiries. Other
needs can be obtained from governmental offices and public libraries.
(6) Customer Dependence
The Company does not have a base of customers. Management anticipates
that the demand for its services will come primarily from the general public.
(7) Intellectual Property
The Company regards its trade secrets and similar intellectual property
as valuable to its business, and will rely on trademark and copyright law, trade
secret protection and confidentiality and/or license agreements with its
employees, partners and others to protect its proprietary rights. There can be
no assurance that the steps taken by the Company will be adequate to prevent
misappropriation or infringement of its intellectual property. The Company
expects that it may license in the future, certain of its proprietary rights,
such as trademarks or copyrighted material, to third parties. While the Company
attempts to ensure that the quality of its brand is maintained by such
licensees, there can be no assurance that such licensees will not take actions
that might materially adversely affect the value of the Company's proprietary
rights or reputation, which could have a material adverse effect on the Company.
-3-
<PAGE>
(9) Effect of Governmental Approval and Regulation
Government Regulation and Legal Uncertainties. The company is subject
to various laws and governmental regulations applicable to business generally.
The Company believes it is in compliance with such laws and that such laws do
not have a material impact on its operations. In addition, although there are
currently few laws or regulations directly applicable to access to or commerce
on the Internet, due to the increasing popularity and use of the Internet, it is
possible that more stringent consumer protection laws and regulations may be
adopted with respect to the Internet covering issues such as participant
privacy, pricing, intellectual property, information security, anti-competitive
practices, the convergence of traditional channels with Internet commerce,
characteristics and quality of product and services and the taxation of income
or gross receipts. The enactment or enforcement of such federal or state laws or
regulations in the future may decrease the demand for the Company's products and
services, increase the Company's costs, or otherwise have an adverse effect on
the Company's business, prospects, financial condition or operating results.
Moreover, the applicability to the Internet of existing laws in various
jurisdictions governing issues such as property ownership, libel and personal
privacy is uncertain, may take years to resolve and could expose the Company to
substantial liability for which the Company might not be indemnified by content
providers or other third parties. Any such new legislation or regulation or the
application of existing laws and regulations to the Internet could have a
material adverse effect on the Company's business, prospects, financial
condition or operating results.
(10) Research and Development
The Company has not engaged in any research or development in the last
two years.
(11) Cost of Environmental Regulation
The Company anticipates that it will have no material costs associated
with compliance with either federal, state or local environmental law.
(12) Employees
As of the date of this filing, Micron had 2 full-time and no part time
employees. These two employee are the officers and directors of the Company.
None of the Company's employees is represented by a labor union, and the Company
considers its employee relations to be good. The Company expects the number of
employees to grow over the next twelve months as sales personnel and shareholder
tracing personnel are added.

<PAGE>
(c) Reports to Security Holders
To the extent that the Company is required to deliver annual reports to
security holders through its status as a reporting company, the Company shall
deliver annual reports. Also, to the extent the Company is required to deliver
annual reports by the rules or regulations of any exchange upon which the
Company's shares are traded, the Company shall deliver annual reports. If the
Company is not required to deliver annual reports, the Company will not go the
expense of producing and delivering such reports. If the Company is required to
deliver annual reports, they will contain audited financial statements if
audited financial statements are required.
Prior to the filing of this Form 10-KSB, the Company has not filed
reports with the Securities and Exchange Commission since 1989. Management
anticipates that Forms 3, 4, 5, 10K-SB, 10Q-SB, 8-K and Schedules 13D along with
appropriate proxy materials will have to be filed as they come due. If the
Company issues additional shares, the Company may file additional registration
statements for those shares.
The public may read and copy any materials the Company files with the
Securities and Exchange Commission at the Commission's Public Reference Room at
450 Fifth Street, N.W., Washington, D.C. 20549. The public may obtain
information on the operation of the Public Reference Room by call the Commission
at 1-800-SEC- 0330. The Commission maintains an Internet site that contains
reports, proxy and information statements, and other information regarding
issuers that file electronically with the Commission. The Internet address of
the Commission's site is (http://www.sec.gov).
(d) Year 2000 Disclosure
The Company does not anticipate any problem in dealing with computer
entries in the year 2000 or thereafter, with any computers currently used at any
of their facilities. All of the Company's computer systems are new and have been
year 2000 compliant from their acquisition. The Company keeps current with all
updates and revisions with all software the Company currently use. It is
anticipated that the software updates reflect required revisions to accommodate
transactions in the year 2000 and thereafter. Though it is not anticipated that
the Company will have a problem at the turn of the century, the Company intends
to coordinate the resolution of any year 2000 problems with the vendors of the
software the Company utilizes.
-5-
<PAGE>
State of Readiness
The Company does not anticipate any problems in dealing with year 2000
issues. All of the Company's computer systems have been acquired within the last
year and are year 2000 compliant. In this regard, the Company uses computers
(PCs) owned by management. All such systems have computer processors capable of
properly recognizing dates past 1999. The Company's computer systems are used
primarily for word processing, bookkeeping and Internet communications. The
Company keeps current with all updates and revisions of all software used in
connection with the Company's business. The Company's current word processing
accounting and Internet communications software is year 2000 compliant. From an
internal standpoint, the Company is year 2000 ready. Indeed, the Company has
made the year 2000 transition without any problems.
The Company's business may be impacted by the year 2000 readiness of
third parties with whom the Company has a material relationship. Such parties
include banks, telephone companies, attorneys, accountants and transfer agents.
The Company has made inquiry of its transfer agent, Nevada Agency and Trust
Company, its attorneys and its accountant regarding their year 2000 readiness.
All of the Company's attorneys, its accountant and its transfer agent are year
2000 compliant. Larger vendors, such as banks and telecommunications companies,
have represented themselves as year 2000 compliant. However, the Company has
expience no year 2000 related problems since the turn of the new year.
Costs of Year 2000 Issues
The Company's costs of remediating any year 2000 issues has been
inconsequential. Such costs total no more than a few thousand dollars and have
been borne by the members of the Company's management which own the computer
systems the Company uses. Indeed, the general need to upgrade and replace
computer systems was more of a factor in recent computer hardware and software
acquisitions than the year 2000 was in connection with the computer systems the
Company uses.
Year 2000 Issues, Risks and Contingency Plans
The most reasonable worst case scenario the Company faces as a result
of year 2000 issues is the failure of third party service providers, such as
banks or telecommunications companies, failing as a result of their failure to
properly remediate any year 2000 problem they may have. If that happens, the
Company will deal with service providers who have not failed to remediate their
year 2000 issues. Management does not anticipate that the costs of changing such
third party service providers will be significant.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
CONDITION OR PLAN OF OPERATION
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Company has not had revenues in the last two (2) years.
Accordingly, management's plan of operations follows:
Plan of Operation
During the second quarter of 2000, management intends to organize the
Company's operations. This includes drafting promotional materials and sending
such materials to prospective clients. Management also plans to create a website
for the promotion of the Company's business.
Management already has obtained facilities and basic office equipment
in connection with its initial operations. The Company's operating office is
located at 8361 East Evans Road, Suite 105, Scottsdale, Arizona 85260. The
Company's office equipment is minimal, but is sufficient for the Company's
initial operating needs.
During the six (6) months which follow the filing of this Form 10-SB,
management intends to contact potential clients and otherwise advertise and
promote the Company's services. Such advertising and promotion shall include
maintenance of the Company's website, direct mailings to potential corporate
clients, and telephone contact with such potential clients. In this fashion,
management intends to build a base of clients.
Management does not anticipate revenues which will fully support the
Company's expense needs for a period of six (6) months from its initial
operations. During that time, the Company's officers and directors intend to use
personal funds to cover the Company's expenses. In this regard, management
anticipates that the Company's operating expenses for the first full year of
operations will be approximately $38,000. Officers and directors contributing
cash to the Company will be compensated either through the issuance of stock or
through the execution of Promissory Notes.
Management also intends to make the Company available for combination
with other businesses. While no such combination is currently contemplated, the
combination of the Company with another business could be more advantageous to
the Company and its shareholders than the continued operation of the Company's
current line of business. If a suitable combination is not available, management
intends to continue the Company's operations as described above.

<PAGE>
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
ITEM 8. DESCRIPTION OF REGISTRANT'S SECURITIES TO BE REGISTERED
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Company is registering all of its issued and outstanding shares of
its capital stock with a par value of One Mill ($0.001) per share. On March 31,
2000, there were 1,982,600 shares of stock issued and outstanding.
Capital Stock
Each of the holders of record of stock is entitled to one (1) vote per
share thereof at all shareholder meetings for all purposes, including the
election of the Company's directors and all other matters submitted to such
holders for a vote of stockholders; to share ratably in all dividends, when, as,
and if declared by the Company's Board of Directors from funds legally available
therefor; and to share ratably in all assets available for distribution to
holders of record of capital stock upon liquidation or dissolution after the
payment of all debts and other liabilities. Shares of common stock are not
redeemable and the holders have no conversion rights, pre-emptive or other
rights to subscribe to or purchase additional shares in the event of a
subsequent offering. The common stock does not carry cumulative voting rights.
All issued and outstanding shares of common stock are fully-paid and
non-assessable.
There are no limitations or restrictions upon the rights of the Board
of Directors to declare dividends out of any funds legally available therefor.
The Company has not paid dividends to date and it is not anticipated that any
dividends will be paid in the foreseeable future. The Board of Directors
initially may follow a policy of retaining earnings, if any, to finance the
future growth of the Company. Accordingly, future dividends, if any, will depend
upon, among other considerations, the Company's need for working capital and its
financial condition at the time.
The Company may, if approved at the general meeting of shareholders,
resolve to authorize the Board of Directors to declare and pay dividends to the
Company's shareholders in the form of bonus shares. The shareholders would
receive bonus shares in lieu of cash dividends, if any, declared and paid by the
Company.
"Anti-Takeover" Provisions. Although the Board of Directors is not
presently aware of any takeover attempts, the Company's Certificate of
Incorporation and By-laws contain certain provisions which may be deemed to be
"anti-takeover" in nature in that such provisions may deter, discourage, or make
more difficult the assumption of control of the Company by another corporation
or person through a tender offer, merger, proxy contest or similar transaction
or series of transactions. These provisions were adopted unanimously by the
Board of Directors and approved by the stockholders of the Company.
-13-
<PAGE>
Authorized but Unissued Shares. The Company has authorized 100,000,000
shares of common stock, par value $0.001 per share. These shares were authorized
for the purpose of providing the Board of Directors of the Company with as much
flexibility as possible to issue additional shares for proper corporate purposes
including equity financing, acquisitions, mergers, stock dividends, stock
splits, stock options and other purposes. The Company has no agreements,
commitments or plans at this time for the sale or use of its shares of common
stock except as described herein. Through March 31, 2000, the Company had issued
1,982,600 shares of stock.
No Cumulative Voting. The Company's Certificate of Incorporation and
By-laws do not contain any provisions for cumulative voting. Cumulative voting
entitles stockholders to as many votes as equal the number of shares owned by
such holder multiplied by the number of directors to be elected. A stockholder
may cast all these votes for one candidate or distribute them among any two or
more candidates. Thus, cumulative voting for the election of directors allows a
stockholder or group of stockholders who hold less than fifty percent (50%) of
the outstanding shares voting to elect one or more members of a Board of
Directors. Without cumulative voting for the election of directors, the vote of
holders of a plurality of the shares voting is required to elect any member of a
Board of Directors and would be sufficient to elect all the members of the Board
of Directors being elected.
General Effect of Anti-Takeover Provisions. The overall effect of these
provisions may be to deter a future tender offer or other takeover attempt that
some stockholders might view to be in their best interest as the offer might
include a premium over the market price of the Company's capital stock at that
time. In addition, these provisions may have the effect of assisting the
Company's current management in retaining its position and place it in a better
position to resist changes which some stockholders may want to make if
dissatisfied with the conduct of the Company's business.
Voting Rights. Except as set forth below, every holder of shares
present in person or by proxy or by representative, attorney or proxy appointed
under the Company's By-laws at a meeting of shareholders has one vote on a vote
taken by a show of hands, and on a poll every holder of shares who is present in
person or by proxy or representative has one vote for every fully paid share
held by him, registered in each shareholder's name on the Company's stockholder
list. Unless a poll is demanded, every question submitted to a meeting of
holders of shares shall be decided by a show of hands of the shareholders
present and entitled to vote. In the case of an equality of votes, in either a
-14-

poll or a show of hands, the chairman shall have a second or casting vote.
Notwithstanding the above, restrictions are imposed on voting rights in the
following circumstances: (a) if two or more persons are registered as the holder
of the share, the only one of the holders entitled to vote is the senior who
tenders a vote, seniority being determined by the order of names in the
company's list of stockholders; (b) if the terms upon which the shares was
issued restrict the voting rights attaching to that share, the holder is
entitled to vote only in accordance with the terms upon which that share was
issued (neither any shares currently outstanding nor the common shares have
restricted voting rights).
Article II Section 5 of the Company's By-laws allows that the holders
of a majority of the issued and outstanding shares of the common stock of the
Company entitled to vote thereat, present in person or represented by proxy,
shall constitute a quorum for the transaction of business at all meetings of the
stockholders. All resolutions (e.g. resolutions for the election of directors,
the approval of increase in authorized capital, approval of financial
statements, amending the Articles of Incorporation and By-laws; authorizing
liquidation or a going private transaction) require the affirmative vote of the
holders of a majority of the issued and outstanding shares of the common stock
of the Company entitled to vote.
Not less than ten days' notice of any general shareholders meeting,
specifying the place, day and hour of the meeting, specifying the general nature
of the business, shall be given to the shareholders.
Article III Section 4 of the Company's By-laws allows that any director
or the entire Board of Directors may be removed, at any time, with or without
cause, by the holders of a majority of the shares then entitled to vote with or
without a stockholders meeting.
Certain Voting Requirements. The affirmative vote of the holders of a
majority of the shares present at a shareholders meeting and entitled to vote
generally constitutes shareholder approval or authorization of matters for which
such approval or authorization is required. A sale or transfer of substantially
all of the Company's assets, liquidation, merger, consolidation, reorganization
or similar extraordinary corporate action generally requires the affirmative
vote of a majority of the shares outstanding and entitled to vote thereon.
Restricted Shares. Restricted shares may not be sold unless they are
registered or are sold pursuant to an applicable exemption from registration,
including pursuant to Rule 144.
Reports to Shareholders. The Company intends to furnish its
shareholders with annual reports containing financial statements for each fiscal
year containing unaudited summary financial information and such other periodic
reports as it may deem appropriate or as required by law.

ITEM 1. MARKET PRICE OF AND DIVIDENDS ON REGISTRANT'S
COMMON EQUITY AND RELATED SHAREHOLDER MATTERS
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Market Information:
There is no market for the Company's common stock. The Company intends
to apply for a listing of its shares on the OTC Bulletin Board system once its
reporting obligation filings are current. It is management's understanding that
the Company's shares cannot be traded on the OTC Bulletin Board until the
Company is current with all of reporting obligations. There has been no market
for the Company's stock in the last two years. Accordingly, the Company has no
range of high and low bid prices for the Company's common stock to report.
Holders:
There were approximately 404 holders of record of the Company's common
stock as of March 31, 2000.
Dividends:
The Company has never paid cash dividends on its stock and does not
intend to do so in the foreseeable future. The Company currently intends to
retain its earnings for the operation and expansion of its business. The
Company's continued need to retain earnings for operations and expansion are
likely to limit the Company's ability to pay dividends in the future.
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
ITEM 2. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Company is not party to, and none of the Company's property is
subject to, any pending or threatened legal, governmental, administrative or
judicial proceedings that will have a materially adverse effect upon the
Company's financial condition or operation.

ITEM 3. CHANGES IN AND DISAGREEMENTS WITH ACCOUNTANTS
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
There have been no disagreements with the Company's independent
accountants over any item involving the Company's financial statements. The
Company's independent accountant is W. Dale McGhie, Town & Country Plaza, 1539
Vasser Street, Reno, Nevada 89502.
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
ITEM 4. RECENT SALES OF UNREGISTERED SECURITIES
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
On or about May 18, 1998, the Company issued a total of 500 shares of
its common stock to Mark Riddle in exchange for services to the corporation
which consisted of assisting in the formation of Micron Solutions, Inc. and the
payment of some of the expenses attached thereto. The number of shares were
arbitrarily determined and carry a value of $0.50 on the Company's balance
sheet. Such shares were issued pursuant to the exemption from registration
contained in Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.
On or about May 18, 1998, the Company issued a total of 500 shares of
its common stock to John J. Badger in exchange for services to the corporation
which consisted of assisting in the formation of Micron Solutions, Inc. and the
payment of some expenses attached thereto. The number of shares were arbitrarily
determined and carry a value of $0.50 on the Company's balance sheet. Such
shares were issued pursuant to the exemption from registration contained in
Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
ITEM 5. INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Section 78.751 of the Nevada General Corporation Law allows the Company
to indemnify any person who was or is threatened to be made a party to any
threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding by reason of the
fact that he or she is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the
Company or is or was serving at the request of the Company as a director,
officer, employee or agent of any corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust
or other enterprise. The Company may advance expenses in connection with
defending any such proceeding, provided the indemnitee undertakes to pay any
such amounts if it is later determined that such person was not entitled to be
indemnified by the Company.
-17-
<PAGE>
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities
Act may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the
Company pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the Company has been
advised that, in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission, such
indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and
is, therefore, unenforceable.

ACCOUNTANT'S AUDIT REPORT
I have audited the accompanying balance sheets of Micron Solutions, Inc. as (a
development stage company) for the years ended December 31, 1999, 1998, 1997 and
1996, and the related statements of operations, changes in stockholders' equity
and cash flows for the four years then ended. 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 generally accepted auditing standards.
Those standards require that I plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable
assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatement. An audit includes examining on a test basis, evidence supporting
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes
assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by
management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.
I believe that my audit provide a reasonable basis for my opinion.
In my opinion, the financial statements referred to above, present fairly, in
all material respects, the financial position of Micron Solutions, Inc. as of
year ending December 31, 1999 and years ended December 31, 1998, 1997 and 1996,
and the results of operations and its cash flows for the years then ended in
conformity with generally accepted accounting principals.
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the
Company will continue as a going concern, as discussed in Note 2 to the
financial statement. The Company is currently dormant and has no productive
assets. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might
result in a negative outcome as a result of this uncertainty.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1999, 1998, 1997 AND 1996
NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
ORGANIZATION AND HISTORY:
Micron Solutions Inc., (Micron) was formed on September 5, 1997 as a Nevada
corporation in order to complete a merger with Shillelagh Ventures, Chartered
(Shillelagh), both corporations have been inactive except for spending on
reorganization costs during 1997 and 1998. Micron Solutions Inc., is the
surviving company. Shillelagh Ventures, Chartered was an active holding company
until 1991 at which time they ceased operations on August 31, 1991 Shillelagh
showed liabilities totaling $340,031. Management believes these liabilities no
longer are valid and the statute of limitations have caused them to be
uncollectable and they were written off.
On the ninth of September, 1997, the shareholders of Shillelagh exchanged five
shares of its $.005 par value common stock for each one share of Micron $.001
par value common stock. The shareholders then voted to reorganize and through a
Quasi-reorganization eliminated its deficit retained earnings.
NATURE OF BUSINESS:
The Company provides specialized services directed to the investment community,
(such as researchers) and also to the general public through the internet..
ASSETS AND LIABILITIES:
To the best of management's knowledge, there are no assets or liabilities within
the company, except those acquired in 1997,1998 and 1999 in order to affect the
reorganization.
USE OF ESTIMATES:
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with general accepted
accounting principals require management to make estimates and assumptions that
affect certain reported amounts and disclosures. Accordingly, actual results
could differ from these estimates.
ORGANIZATION COSTS:
The Company has adopted Statement of Position (SOP) 98-5, "Reporting on the
Costs of Start-UP Activities" issued in April 1998 by the Accounting Standards
Executive Committee of the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants.
Pursuant to SOP 98-5, Organizational costs were expensed in 1999.
EARNINGS PER SHARE:
The earnings per share calculation are based on the weighted average number of
shares outstanding during the period, 1,982,600 in 1999, 1998, and 1997., and
982,600 in 1996
INCOME TAX:
Due to no earnings as of December 31, 1999, no provision for Federal income
taxes has been made.
DIVIDEND POLICY:
The Company has not paid any dividends and any dividends that may be paid in the
future will depend upon the financial requirements of the Company and other
relevant factors.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
AS OF SEPTEMBER 30, 1999, DECEMBER 31, 1998, 1997 AND 1996
NOTE 1 - CONTINUED
PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT
Property and equipment consists of a Website , whcigh shall be depreciated over
a period of five years using the straight line method.
NOTE 2 - GOING CONCERN
As discussed in Note 1, the company has been in a dormant stage since 1991. The
company has no productive asset and may have prior unknown liabilities. The
company plans include infusing capital. The financial statements do not include
any adjustments that might result from the outcome of these uncertainties. These
factors raise concern about the company's ability to continue as a going
concern.
NOTE 3 - NET OPERATING LOSS CARRY FORWARD
Because of the change in ownership and the value of Shillelagh the net operating
loss carry forward prior to 1997 will be negligible. Net operating losses
occurring in 1999 and 1998 can be carried forward to be used against future
earnings for a 15 year period.
