RISK FACTORS

1. The majority control by the Company's Principal Shareholders, Officers
   and Directors may negatively impact the operation of the Company.

The Company's principal shareholders, officers and directors will beneficially
own ninety-five percent (95%) of the Company's Common Stock.  As a
result, such persons will have the ability to control the Company and direct
its affairs and business.  Such concentration of ownership may also have the
effect of delaying, deferring or preventing change in control of the Company.
See "Principal Stockholders."

2. Conflicts of interest between the Company and its officers and directors
   may impede the operational ability of the Company, negatively impact
   the ability of the Company to secure the best available business
   opportunity and may lead to the possible breach of fiduciary duties
   owed to the Company by such officers and directors.

Certain conflicts of interest exist between the Company and its officers and
directors as follows:

(a)-They have other business interests to which they devote their attention,
    and they may be expected to continue to do so. As a result, conflicts
    of interest may arise that can be resolved only through their exercise of
    such judgment as to whether certain needs of the Company may not be
    adequately and necessarily addressed, provided the Company's officers and
    directors elect to devote attention to outside interest when they could
    be attending to the needs of the Company;

<PAGE>  2

(b)-The Company's President, Vice President and all current shareholders own
    all of the issued and outstanding stock of eight (8) additional
    corporations (Providence Capital I, II, III, V, VI, VII, IX, and X) which
    are shell companies formed November 24.  The Form 10-SB registration
    statement of Providence Capital I through X may become effective by lapse
    of time on or about May 17, 2000.  (See "Item 5. Directors, Executive
    Officers, Promoters, and Control Persons---Other Blind Pool Activities.")
    Thus, the Company may be in competition with Providence Capital I, II, III,
    V, VI, VII, IX, and X in seeking merger candidates.

    The Company's Directors may also elect, in the future, to form one or more
    additional public shell companies with a business plan similar or identical
    to that of the Company.  Any such additional shell companies would also be
    in direct competition with the Company for available business opportunities.
    (See Item 5 - "Directors, Executive Officers, Promoters and Control
    Persons- Conflicts of Interest.")

(c)-It is anticipated that Company's President and Vice President may actively
    negotiate or otherwise consent to the purchase of a portion of their common
    stock as a condition to, or in connection with, a proposed merger or
    acquisition transaction.  In this process, the Company's President and/or
    Vice President may consider their own personal pecuniary benefit rather
    than the best interests of other Company shareholders, and the other Company
    shareholders are not expected to be afforded the opportunity to approve or
    consent to any particular stock buy-out transaction.  See "Conflicts of
    Interest."

3. The possible need for additional financing may impair the Company's
   ability to locate the best available business opportunity.

The Company has very limited funds, and such funds may not be adequate to take
advantage of any available business opportunities.  Even if the Company's funds
prove to be sufficient to acquire an interest in, or complete a transaction
with, a business opportunity, the Company may not have enough capital to exploit
the opportunity.  The ultimate success of the Company may depend upon its
ability to raise additional capital. The Company has not investigated the
availability, source, or terms that might govern the acquisition of additional
capital and will not do so until it determines a need for additional financing.
If additional capital is needed, there is no assurance that funds will be
available from any source or, if available, that they can be obtained on terms
acceptable to the Company.  If not available, the Company's operations will be
limited to those that can be financed with its modest capital.

4. The regulation of Penny Stocks may negatively impact the potential
   trading market for the Company's securities.

The Company's securities, when available for trading, will be subject to a
Securities and Exchange Commission rule that imposes special sales practice
requirements upon broker-dealers who sell such securities to persons other

<PAGE>  3

than established customers or accredited investors.  For purposes of the rule,
the phrase "accredited investors" means, in general terms, institutions with
assets in excess of $5,000,000, or individuals having a net worth in excess of
$1,000,000 or having an annual income that exceeds $200,000 (or that, when
combined with a spouse's income, exceeds $300,000).  For transactions covered
by the rule, the broker-dealer must make a special suitability determination
for the purchaser and receive the purchaser's written agreement to the
transaction prior to the sale.  Consequently, the rule may affect the ability
of broker-dealers to sell the Company's securities and also may affect the
ability of purchasers in this offering to sell their securities in any market
that might develop therefor.

In addition, the Securities and Exchange Commission has adopted a number of
rules to regulate "penny stocks."  Such rules include Rules 3a51-1, 15g-1,
15g-2, 15g-3, 15g-4, 15g-5, 15g-6, and 15g-7 under the Securities Exchange Act
of 1934, as amended.  Because the securities of the Company may constitute
"penny stocks" within the meaning of the rules, the rules would apply to the
Company and to its securities.  The rules may further affect the ability of
owners of Shares to sell the securities of the Company in any market that
might develop for them.

Shareholders should be aware that, according to Securities and Exchange
Commission Release No. 34-29093, the market for penny stocks has suffered in
recent years from patterns of fraud and abuse.

Such patterns include (i) control of the market for the security by one or a
few broker-dealers that are often related to the promoter or issuer; (ii)
manipulation of prices through prearranged matching of purchases and sales and
false and misleading press releases; (iii) "boiler room" practices involving
high-pressure sales tactics and unrealistic price projections by inexperienced
sales persons; (iv) excessive and undisclosed bid-ask differentials and
markups by selling broker-dealers; and (v) the wholesale dumping of the same
securities by promoters and broker-dealers after prices have been manipulated
to a desired level, along with the resulting inevitable collapse of those
prices and with consequent investor losses.

5. The Company's limited operating history may severely impact its
   ability to operate and locate the best available business opportunity.

The Company was formed in November of 1999 for the purpose of registering its
common stock under the 1934 Act and acquiring a business opportunity.  The
Company has no operating history, revenues from operations, or assets other
than cash from private sales of stock.  The Company faces all of the risks of
a new business and the special risks inherent in the investigation, acquisition,
or involvement in a new business opportunity.  The Company must be regarded as a
new or "start-up" venture with all of  the unforeseen costs, expenses, problems,
and difficulties to which such ventures are subject.

<PAGE>  4

6. There can be no assurance of the Company's potential success or
   profitability.

There is no assurance that the Company will acquire a favorable business
opportunity.  Even if the Company should become involved in a business
opportunity, there is no assurance that it will generate revenues or profits,
or that the market price of the Company's Common Stock will be increased
thereby.

7. 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 certified 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 entities to prepare such 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 1934 Act are applicable.

8. The Company lacks market research and marketing organization.

The Company has neither conducted, nor have others made available to it,
results of market research indicating that market demand exists for the
transactions contemplated by the Company.  Moreover, the Company does not
have, and does not plan to establish, a marketing organization.  Even in the
event demand is identified for a merger or acquisition contemplated by the
Company, there is no assurance the Company will be successful in completing
any such business combination.

9. The Company's potential business opportunity -
   Has not been identified and will be highly risky

The Company has not identified and has no commitments to enter into or acquire
a specific business opportunity and therefore can disclose the risks and
hazards of a business or opportunity that it may enter into in only a general
manner, and cannot disclose the risks and hazards of any specific business or
opportunity that it may enter into.  An investor can expect a potential
business opportunity to be quite risky.  The Company's acquisition of or
participation in a business opportunity will likely be highly illiquid and
could result in a total loss to the Company and its stockholders if the business
or opportunity proves to be unsuccessful.  See  Item 1 "Description of
Business."

10. The type of business acquired may be unprofitable or present other
    negative factors.

The type of business to be acquired may be one that desires to avoid effecting
its own public offering and the accompanying expense, delays, uncertainties,
and federal and state requirements which purport to protect investors. Because
of the Company's limited capital, it is more likely than

<PAGE>  5

not that any acquisition by the Company will involve other parties whose
primary interest is the acquisition of control of a publicly traded company.
Moreover, any business opportunity acquired may be currently unprofitable or
present other negative factors.

11. The Company may not be able to conduct an exhaustive investigation
    and analysis of potential business opportunities.

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 business opportunity before the Company commits its capital or
other resources thereto.  Management decisions, therefore, will likely be made
without detailed feasibility studies, independent analysis, market surveys and
the like 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 promoter, owner, sponsor, or others associated
with the business opportunity seeking the Company's participation.
A significant portion of the Company's available funds may be expended for
investigative expenses and other expenses related to preliminary aspects of
completing an acquisition transaction, whether or not any business opportunity
investigated is eventually acquired.

12. The Company may lack diversification.

Because of the limited financial resources that the Company has, it is
unlikely that the Company will be able to diversify its acquisitions or
operations.  The Company's probable inability to diversify its activities into
more than one area will subject the Company to economic fluctuations within a
particular business or industry and therefore increase the risks associated
with the Company's operations.

13. The Company may have to rely upon unaudited financial statements of
    a potential business opportunity.

The Company generally will require audited financial statements from companies
that it proposes to acquire.  No assurance can be given, however, that audited
financials will be available to the Company.  In cases where audited financials
are unavailable, the Company will have to rely upon unaudited information
received from target companies' management that has not been verified by outside
auditors. The lack of the type of independent verification which audited
financial statements would provide, increases the risk that the Company, in
evaluating an acquisition 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 the
acquisition of such a company might prove to be an unfavorable one for the
Company or the holders of the Company's securities.

Moreover, the Company will be subject to the reporting provisions of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), and thus
will be required to furnish certain information about significant acquisitions,
including audited financial statements for any business that it acquires.
Consequently, acquisition prospects that do not have, or are unable to provide
reasonable assurances that they will be able to obtain, the required audited
statements would not be considered by the Company to be appropriate for
acquisition so long as the reporting requirements of the Exchange Act are
applicable.  Should the Company, during the time it remains

<PAGE>  6

subject to the reporting provisions of the Exchange Act, complete an acquisition
of an entity for which audited financial statements prove to be unobtainable,
the Company would be exposed to enforcement actions by the Securities and
Exchange Commission (the "Commission") and to corresponding administrative
sanctions, including permanent injunctions against the Company and its
management.  The legal and other costs of defending a Commission enforcement
action are likely to have material, adverse consequences for the Company and its
business.  The imposition of administrative sanctions would subject the Company
to further adverse consequences.

In addition, the lack of audited financial statements would prevent the
securities of the Company from becoming eligible for listing on NASDAQ, the
automated quotation system sponsored by the National Association of Securities
Dealers, Inc., or on any existing stock exchange.  Moreover, the lack of such
financial statements is likely to discourage broker-dealers from becoming or
continuing to serve as market makers in the securities of the Company.  Without
audited financial statements, the Company would almost certainly be unable to
offer securities under a registration statement pursuant to the Securities Act
of 1933, and the ability of the Company to raise capital would be significantly
limited until such financial statements were to become available.

14. Government, State or Local regulations may limit the Company's
    business opportunities.

An acquisition made by the Company may be of a business that is subject to
regulation or licensing by federal, state, or local authorities.  Compliance
with such regulations and licensing can be expected to be a time-consuming,
expensive process and may limit other investment opportunities of the
Company.

15. There will be a limited participation by Management in the daily
    operations of the Company.

The Company currently has three individuals who are serving as its sole
officers and directors.  The Company will be heavily dependent upon their
skills, talents, and abilities to implement its business plan, and may, from
time to time, find that the inability of the officers and directors to devote
their full time attention to the business of the Company results in a delay in
progress toward implementing its business plan.  Furthermore, since only three
individuals are serving as the officers and directors of the Company, it will
be entirely dependent upon their experience in seeking, investigating, and
acquiring a business and in making decisions regarding the Company's operations.
See "Management."  Because investors will not be able to evaluate the merits of
possible business acquisitions by the Company, they should critically assess
the information concerning the Company's three officers and directors.

<PAGE>  7

16. There is a lack of continuity in the Management of the Company.

The Company does not have an employment agreement with its officers and
directors, and as a result, there is no assurance that they will continue to
manage the Company in the future.  In connection with acquisition of a
business opportunity, it is likely the current officers and directors of the
Company may resign.  A decision to resign will be based upon the identity of
the business opportunity and the nature of the transaction, and is likely to
occur without the vote or consent of the stockholders of the Company.

17. The Company's required indemnification of its Officers and Directors
    may negatively impact its operation.

The Company's Articles of Incorporation provide for the indemnification of its
directors, officers, employees, and agents, under certain circumstances,
against attorney's fees and other expenses incurred by them in any litigation
to which they become a party arising from their association with or activities
on behalf of the Company.  The Company will also bear the expenses of such
litigation for any of its directors, officers, employees, or agents, upon such
person's promise to repay the Company therefor if it is ultimately determined
that any such person shall not have been entitled to indemnification.  This
indemnification policy could result in substantial expenditures by the Company
which it will be unable to recoup.

18. The Company's Directors have potentially limited liability.

The Company's Articles of Incorporation exclude personal liability of its
directors to the Company and its stockholders for monetary damages for breach
of fiduciary duty except in certain specified circumstances.  Accordingly, the
Company will have a much more limited right of action against its directors
than otherwise would be the case.  This provision does not affect the
liability of any director under federal or applicable state securities laws.

19. The Company may have to depend upon Outside Advisors.

To supplement the business experience of its officers and directors, the
Company may be required to employ accountants, technical experts, appraisers,
attorneys, or other consultants or advisors.  The selection of any such
advisors will be made by the Company's President without any input from
stockholders.  Furthermore, it is anticipated that such persons may be engaged
on an "as needed" basis without a continuing fiduciary or other obligation to
the Company.

20. The Company may engage in a highly risky leveraged transaction.

There is a possibility that any acquisition of a business opportunity by the
Company may be leveraged, i.e., the Company may finance the acquisition of the
business opportunity by borrowing against the assets of the business opportunity
to be acquired, or against the projected future revenues or

<PAGE>  8

profits of the business opportunity.  This could increase the Company's
exposure to larger losses.  A business opportunity acquired through a
leveraged transaction is profitable only if it generates enough revenues to
cover the related debt and expenses.  Failure to make payments on the debt
incurred to purchase the business opportunity could result in the loss of a
portion or all of the assets acquired.  There is no assurance that any business
opportunity acquired through a leveraged transaction will generate sufficient
revenues to cover the related debt and expenses.

21.  Significant competition may impair the Company's ability to locate
     the best available business opportunity.

The search for potentially profitable business opportunities is intensely
competitive.  The Company expects to be at a disadvantage when competing with
many firms that have substantially greater financial and management resources
and capabilities than the Company.  These competitive conditions will exist in
any industry in which the Company may become interested.

22. There are no foreseeable dividends for the Company's shareholders.

The Company has not paid dividends on its Common Stock and does not anticipate
paying such dividends in the foreseeable future.

23. The Company's present Management and Stockholders may lose control.

The Company may consider an acquisition in which the Company would issue as
consideration for the business opportunity to be acquired an amount of the
Company's authorized but unissued Common Stock that would, upon issuance,
represent the great majority of the voting power and equity of the Company.
The result of such an acquisition would be that the acquired company's
stockholders and management would control the Company, and the Company's
management could be replaced by persons unknown at this time.  Such a merger
would result in a greatly reduced percentage of ownership of the Company by
its current shareholders. In addition, the Company's President and/or Vice
President could sell their control block of stock at a premium price to the
acquired company's stockholders.

24. There is no public trading market for the Company's common stock.

There is no public market for the Company's common stock, and no assurance can
be given that a market will develop or that a shareholder ever will be able to
liquidate his investment without considerable delay, if at all.  If a market
should develop, the price may be highly volatile.  Factors such as those
discussed in this "Risk Factors" section may have a significant impact upon
the market price of the securities offered hereby.  Owing to the low price of
the securities, many brokerage firms may not be willing to effect transactions
in the securities.  Even if a purchaser finds a broker willing to effect a
transaction in these securities, the combination of brokerage commissions,
state transfer taxes, if any, and any other selling costs may exceed the
selling price.  Further, many lending institutions will not permit the use of
such securities as collateral for any loans.

<PAGE>  9

25. Affiliates and their successors/assigns may have exposure and risk
    if re-selling securities pursuant to Rule 144.

All of the outstanding shares of Common Stock held by present stockholders are
"restricted securities" within the meaning of Rule 144 under the Securities
Act of 1933, as amended.

As restricted shares, these shares may be resold only pursuant to an effective
registration statement or under the requirements of Rule 144 or other
applicable exemptions from registration under the Act and as required under
applicable state securities laws.  Rule 144 provides in essence that a person
who has held restricted securities for a prescribed period may, under certain
conditions, sell every three months, in brokerage transactions, a number of
shares that does not exceed the greater of 1.0% of a company's outstanding
common stock or the average weekly trading volume during the four calendar
weeks prior to the sale.  As a result of revisions to Rule 144 which became
effective on or about April 29, 1997, there will be no limit on the amount of
restricted securities that may be sold by a nonaffiliate after the restricted
securities have been held by the owner for a period of two years.  A sale
under Rule 144 or under any other exemption from the Act, if available, or
pursuant to subsequent registrations of shares of Common Stock of present
stockholders, may have a depressive effect upon the price of the Common Stock
in any market that may develop.

Of the total 1,700,000 shares of common stock held by present stockholders of
the Company, 1,700,000 shares which were issued pursuant to Rule 701 and may
become available for resale under Rule 144, on or about July 1, 2000. However,
recent correspondence directed from the Commission to the NASD suggests that
Rule 144 sales by affiliates or their successors/assigns will generally not
be afforded an opportunity to rely on Rule 144 for "safe harbor" re-selling
under such rule and will most likely only be able to transfer such securities
pursuant to an effective registration statement filed under the Securities
Act of 1933 (the "Act").

26. Blue Sky considerations may negatively impact the Company's ability
    to sell or transfer its securities or to establish secondary trading
    markets.

Because the securities registered hereunder have not been registered for
resale under the blue sky laws of any state, the holders of such shares and
persons who desire to purchase them in any trading market that might develop
in the future, should be aware that there may be significant state blue-sky law
restrictions upon the ability of investors to sell the securities and of
purchasers to purchase the securities.  Some jurisdictions may not
under any circumstances allow the trading or resale of blind-pool or "blank-
check" securities.  Accordingly, investors should consider the secondary market
for the Company's securities to be a limited one.

INDEPENDENT CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS' REPORT

To the Board of Directors
Providence Capital IV, Inc.
(A Development Stage Company)

We have reviewed the accompanying balance sheet of Providence Capital IV, Inc.
(a development stage company) as of September 30, 2000, and the related
statements of operations, stockholders' equity, and cash flows for the three
month period then ended and the period from November 24, 1999 (inception) to
September 30, 2000.  These financial statements are the responsibility of the
company's management.

We conducted our review in accordance with standards established by the American
Institute of Certified Public Accountants. A review of interim financial
statements consists principally of applying analytical procedures to financial
data and making inquiries of persons responsible for financial and accounting
matters.  It is substantially less in scope than an audit in accordance with
generally accepted auditing standards, the objective of which is the expression
of an opinion regarding the financial statements taken as a whole.  Accordingly,
we do not express such an opinion.

Based on our review, we are not aware of any material modifications that should
be made to the accompanying financial statements in order for them to be in
conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

1.   SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Organization and Development Stage Operations

     Providence Capital IV, Inc. (a Development Stage Company) (the Company) was
incorporated on November 24, 1999, in the State of Colorado.  The Company is in
the development stage and its intent is to operate as a capital market access
corporation and to acquire one or more existing businesses through merger or
acquisition.  The Company has had no significant business activity to date.
The Company has selected the calendar year as its fiscal year.  Costs
associated with organization have been expensed in accordance with SOP 98-5.

Stock-Based Compensation

     The Company accounts for stock-based compensation under Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 123 "Accounting for Stock-Based
Compensation".  The Company accounts for stock-based compensation based on the
fair value of the consideration received or the fair value of the stock issued,
whichever is more reliably measurable.

Estimates

     The preparation of the Company's financial statements in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles requires the Company's management to
make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in these
financial statements and accompanying notes.  Actual results could differ from
those estimates.

2.   STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY

     On November 24, 1999, the Company issued seven hundred thirty-four thousand
(734,000) shares of its $.001 par value common stock for services, rendered by
related parties, valued at their fair market value of $2,789.  The shares were
issued pursuant to Rule 701 of the Securities Act of 1933 (the "Act") and are
restricted securities within the meaning of Rule 144 of the Act.

     On June 15, 2000, the Company issued nine hundred sixty-six thousand
(966,000) shares of its $0.001 par value common stock for services, rendered
by related parties, valued at their fair market value of $3,671.  The shares
were issued pursuant to Rule 701 of the Securities Act of 1933 (the "Act")
and are restricted securities within the meaning of Rule 144 of the Act.

     The Company authorized 50,000,000 shares of Series A convertible preferred
stock with a par value of $.001 per share.  Currently, there are no shares
outstanding.  Each share of preferred stock can be converted into one share of
common stock and each share is entitled to one vote, voting together with the
holders of shares of common stock.

3.   RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

The loan from officers of $17,125 was for legal services rendered in
connection with business planning and compliance.  Those legal services were
rendered by shareholders of the Company.

As described in footnote #2 the Company issued common stock for services
provided by related parties that are valued at the fair market value of
$6,460.

4.   INCOME TAXES

Due to the current period's operating loss, the Company has no provision for
income taxes.

Deferred income taxes reflect the net tax effects of temporary differences
between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting
purposes and the amounts used for income tax purposes.  The Company's net
deferred tax asset balances are attributable to net operating loss carry-
forwards.  At September 30, 2000, the Company's deferred tax asset consisted
of the following:

     Deferred tax asset                        $     5,700
     Valuation allowance                           ( 5,700)

     Net deferred tax assets recognized on
      the accompanying balance sheets          $         0


The components of the income tax provision (benefit) consisted of the following
for the period ended September 30, 2000.

     Current                                   $         0
     Deferred                                        5,700
     Tentative tax provision (benefit)               5,700
     Change in valuation allowance                 ( 5,700)

       Net income tax provision (benefit)      $         0


     The Company has a net operating and economic loss carryforward of
approximately $17,975 available to offset future federal and state taxable
income through 2019 as follows:

     Year of Expiration                        Amount

     2019                                      $    17,975

ITEM 2.  MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OR
         PLAN OF OPERATION

                           PROVIDENCE CAPITAL IV, INC.

                     MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
                  FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS


September 30, 2000

=====================================
THREE MONTHS ENDING SEPTEMBER 30, 2000
=====================================

The following information should be read in conjunction with the historical
financial information and the notes thereto included in Item 1 of this
Quarterly Report.

NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

     Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 121, "Accounting for the
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed of"
("SFAS 121") issued by the FASB, is effective for financial statements for
fiscal years beginning after December 15, 1995. The standard establishes new
guidelines regarding when impairment losses on long-lived assets, which
include plant and equipment, certain identifiable intangible assets, and
goodwill, should be recognized and how impairment losses should be measured.

The Company does not expect adoption to have a material effect on its
financial position or results of operations.

     Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123, "Accounting for
Stock-Based Compensation" ("SFAS 123") issued by the FASB, is effective for
specific transactions entered into after December 15, 1995. The disclosure
requirements of SFAS 123 are effective for financial statements for fiscal
years beginning no later than December 15, 1995. The new standard established
a fair value method of accounting for stock-based compensation plans and for
transactions in which an entity acquires goods or services from non-employees
in exchange for equity instruments. The Company does not expect adoption to
have a material effect on its financial position or results of operations.

General

     The Registrant intends to seek to acquire assets or shares of an entity
actively engaged in business which generates revenues, in exchange for its
securities.  The Registrant has no particular acquisitions in mind and has not
entered into any negotiations regarding such an acquisition.  None of the
Company's officers, directors, promoters or affiliates have engaged in any
preliminary contact or discussions with any representative of any other
company regarding the possibility of an acquisition or merger between the
Company and such other company as of the date of this quarterly report.

<PAGE> 11

     While the Company will attempt to obtain audited financial statements of
a target entity, there is no assurance that such audited financial statements
will be available.  The Board of Directors does intend to obtain certain
assurances of value of the target entity's assets prior to consummating such a
transaction, with further assurances that an audited statement would be
provided within seventy-five days after closing of such a transaction.
Closing documents relative thereto will include representations that the value
of the assets conveyed to or otherwise so transferred will not materially
differ from the representations included in such closing documents.

     The Company has filed a registration statement on a voluntary basis
because the primary attraction of the Registrant as a merger partner or
acquisition vehicle will be its status as an SEC reporting company.  Any
business combination or transaction will likely result in a significant
issuance of shares and substantial dilution to present stockholders of the
Registrant.

     The Company has, and will continue to have, no capital with which to
provide the owners of business opportunities with any significant 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 publicly registered company without incurring the cost
and time required to conduct an initial public offering. The owners of the
business opportunities will, however, incur significant legal and accounting
costs in connection with the acquisition of a business opportunity, including
the costs of preparing Form 8-K's, 10-K's or 10-KSB's, agreements and related
reports and documents. The Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the "34 Act"),
specifically requires that any merger or acquisition candidate comply with all
applicable reporting requirements, which include providing audited financial
statements to be included within the numerous filings relevant to complying
with the 34 Act.  Nevertheless, the officers and directors of the Company have
not conducted market research and are not aware of statistical data which
would support the perceived benefits of a merger or acquisition transaction
for the owners of a business opportunity.

     As stated hereinabove, the Company will not acquire or merge with any
entity which cannot provide independent audited financial statements within a
reasonable period of time after closing of the proposed transaction.  The
Company is subject to all of the reporting requirements included in the 34
Act.  Included in these requirements is the affirmative duty of the Company to
file independent audited financial statements as part of its Form 8-K to be
filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission upon consummation of a
merger or acquisition, as well as the Company's audited financial statements

<PAGE> 12

included in its annual report on Form 10-K (or 10-KSB, as applicable).  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 34 Act, or if the audited financial statements provided do not conform
to the representations made by the candidate to be acquired in the closing
documents, the closing documents may provide that the proposed transaction
will be voidable, at the discretion of the present management of the Company.

     The Company's officers and shareholders have verbally agreed that they
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.  These persons have further agreed that such
advances will be made in proportion to each person's percentage ownership of
the Company.  These persons have also agreed that such advances will be made
interest free without expectation of repayment unless the owners of the
business which the Company acquires or merges with agree to repay all or a
portion of such advances.  Such repayment will in no way be a condition to the
selection of a target company.  There is no dollar cap on the amount of money
which such persons will advance to the Company.  The Company will not borrow
any funds from anyone other than its current shareholders for the purpose of
repaying advances made by the shareholders, and the Company will not borrow
any funds to make any payments to the Company's promoters, management or their
affiliates or associates.

     The Balance Sheet as of 09/30/2000 reflects $0.00 assets and no entry
of organizational costs in accordance with SOP 98-5.  The Statement
of Operations has been revised to update cumulative amounts, while conforming
changes have been made to the Statement of Changes in Stockholders' Equity.

     As of the date of this report, the Company has no assets and a Deficit
accumulated during the development stage of $24,435. The Company has also
incurred a net loss to date of $24,435.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

     The Company remains in the development stage and, since inception,
has experienced no significant change in liquidity or capital resources or
stockholder's equity.  The Company's balance sheet as of September 30, 2000,
reflects a total asset value of $0.00.  The Company has no cash or line of
credit, nor does it expect to have one before a merger is effected.

     The Company will carry out its plan of business as discussed
above.  The Company cannot predict to what extent its liquidity and
capital resources will be diminished prior to the consummation of a
business combination or whether its capital will be further depleted by
the operating losses (if any) of the business entity which the Company
may eventually acquire.

<PAGE> 13

Results of Operations

     During the period from January 1, 2000 through September 30, 2000, the
Company has engaged in no significant operations other than organizational
activities, acquisition of capital and preparation for registration of its
securities under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.  No
revenues were received by the Company during this period.

     For the current fiscal year, the Company anticipates incurring
a loss as a result of organizational expenses, expenses associated with
registration under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, and expenses
associated with locating and evaluating acquisition candidates.  The
Company anticipates that until a business combination is completed
with an acquisition candidate, it will not generate revenues other than
interest income, and may continue to operate at a loss after completing
a business combination, depending upon the performance of the
acquired business.

Need for Additional Financing

     The Company believes that its existing capital will be sufficient to
meet the Company's cash needs, including the costs of compliance with the
continuing reporting requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934,
as amended, for a period of approximately one year.  Accordingly, in the
event the Company is able to complete a business combination during this
period, it anticipates that its existing capital will be sufficient to allow
it to accomplish the goal of completing a business combination.  There is no
assurance, however, that the available funds will ultimately prove to be
adequate to allow it to complete a business combination, and once a business
combination is completed, the Company's needs for additional financing are
likely to increase substantially.
