PART I
ITEM 1 DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS
BUSINESS DEVELOPMENT
Organization
Dicut, Inc. was incorporated in Delaware on May 31, 1994 for the purpose of
developing and marketing a residential Hydronic Low Pressure Heating and Air
Conditioning system ("Hydronic LPHVAC") that would operate at lower pressure
levels than large commercial systems. During December 1997 and January 1998, the
Company received its initial funding through the sale of common stock to
investors. From inception until December 1999, the Company had no material
operating activities. In December 1999, Management completed its development and
testing of the Company's Hydronic LPHVAC design. In January 2000 Management
decided to seek necessary capital in order to advance the Company's business
plan.
Bankruptcy or Similar Proceedings
There have been no bankruptcy, receivership or similar proceedings.
Reorganizations, Purchase or Sale of Assets
As of the Company's fiscal year end of March 31, 2000 there were no material
reclassifications, mergers, consolidations, or purchase or sale of a significant
amount of assets not in the ordinary course of business.
BUSINESS OF ISSUER
Principle Products or Services and Markets
The Company intends to become a major supplier of its proprietary Hydronic Low
Pressure Heating and Air Conditioning System ("Hydronic LPHVAC") to the
residential construction industry and the residential air conditioning repair
and replacement industry, first in California, and then throughout the United
States. The Company's target market includes single family residences,
condominiums, and apartment buildings. The Company's residential Hydronic LPHVAC
product is a heating and air conditioning system consisting of a trade secret
design for a gas fired temperature transfer generator that heats or chills an
aquas solution using natural gas, and a series of metal pipes, concealed
radiators, electric fans, and thermostats that set individual room temperatures.
The Company's Hydronic LPHVAC system is based on currently available large scale
commercial building hydronic systems that utilize high pressure techniques to
heat and cool large buildings. Unlike these large scale commercial hydronic
systems, the Company's residential Hydronic LPHVAC system has been designed with
a proprietary hydronic aquas
3
<PAGE> 4
temperature control system and operates at low pressure levels that are
approximately 70 PSI, comparable to residential interior water pipe pressure of
approximately 80 pounds PSI.
Fred McNorton developed the Hydronic LPHVAC system from 1994 through 1999. On
August 15, 1994 Mr. McNorton accepted the position of President of the Company.
On March 15, 1997, the Company signed an exclusive license agreement with its
President for use of his Hydronic LPHVAC design in exchange for 70,500
restricted shares of the Company's common stock. The number of shares issued was
based upon an estimate of the total costs incurred by Mr. McNorton for product
development and testing.
Based upon Management's experience in the residential construction industry and
in the design and manufacture of heating and cooling systems, the Company's
Hydronic LPHVAC system will offer contractors and owners of residential
dwellings the following advantages for heating and air conditioning
requirements:
The target price of the Company's proprietary new heating and air
conditioning system is estimated by Management to be eight to twelve
percent less than traditional systems installed in residential new
construction.
The installed cost to replace an existing residential heating and air
conditioning system with the Company's new Hydronic LPHVAC system is
estimated by management to be approximately six to eight percent less
than purchasing traditional replacement heating and air conditioning
systems. The Hydronic LPHVAC system may be easily retrofitted through an
existing building's central heating and air conditioning system and
in-wall air ducts.
The Company's Hydronic LPHVAC system is designed to primarily use
natural gas as its source of heating and cooling energy. Natural gas is
less expensive than electricity or heating oil as an energy source.
National average costs per one hundred thousand btu of useable heat are
$1.79 for electricity, $1.24 for heating oil, and $.95 for natural gas
((C) 2000 warmair.com). In California, the target market for the first
two years of the Company's business plan, the cost of running a gas
based heating and air conditioning system is about $.60 per hour
compared to an all electric system of about $1.40 per hour ((C) 2000
sdge.com/energy).
The Company's Hydronic LPHVAC system incorporates design features that
maintain low pressure levels in all components for safety and building
code compliance for residential applications. The Hydronic LPHVAC system
consists of a proprietary design for a gas fired temperature transfer
generator that utilizes a self-contained constant temperature fluid bath
and aquas fluid mixture that maintains temperature within plus or minus
five degrees of any temperature setting between thirty eight degrees and
one hundred fifty degrees Fahrenheit. The aquas fluid mixture is an
integral part of the design which functions to maintain the bath
temperatures. The aquas fluid mixture is an important intellectual
property of the company and is protected by trade secret laws.
Traditional heating and air conditioning systems, engineered to maintain
temperature
4
<PAGE> 5
fluctuations of plus or minus ten degrees, use more energy as they
repeatedly correct for wider temperature variances.
A key feature of The Company's Hydronic LPHVAC system allows individual
rooms within a residential building to be adjusted for temperature
variances up to ten degrees instead of a traditional system of heating
or cooling the building to only one temperature setting. Thus the rooms
on the side of a building facing the sun may be cooled more than the
rooms on the shady side of the building.
The Company's trade secret Hydronic LPHVAC constant temperature
controller and aquas bath system was designed to utilize existing
off-the-shelf components such as heating and electrical parts used in
gas furnaces, low pressure pipes, radiators, electric fans and
thermostats, all of which are available in building code approved
formats.
The Company has a current business plan which proposes to utilize its founders'
backgrounds to develop its business from the current design stage into a unique
affordable alternative to residential contractors for their new residential HVAC
and replacement HVAC needs.
The business plan requires the Company during the first two quarters to raise
capital of $5,000,000 through the sale of common stock in a private placement.
During the third quarter, after raising capital, the Company intends to utilize
subcontract manufacturers in California to begin production of its proprietary
residential Hydronic LPHVAC system for sale in California. The Company intends
to expend $2,500,000 for subcontractor production of its proprietary residential
Hydronic LPHVAC system, $75,000 for a marketing manager, $75,000 for two
salesmen, $30,000 for two office clerical employees, $20,000 for set-up and
maintenance of the Company's web site, $500,000 for advertising, $50,000 for
purchase of computers and fixed assets, and $75,000 for rent and other operating
expenses.
Distribution Methods of Products or Services
For the first two years of its business plan, the Company will advertise its
products through direct mailings to all major plumbing, heating, and air
conditioning companies in California. In addition, the Company will advertise
weekly in medium to large city construction newspapers and in developer,
construction, and plumbing trade journals throughout California. The Company
intends to offer information on its product to prospective contractor and
homeowner customers on its web site, www.hydronicsamerica.com, which will
feature product information and local plumbing contractors who will sell and
service the Company's Hydronic LPHVAC systems.
Based upon Management's experience in the heating and air conditioning
manufacturing business and the construction business, the Company will sell its
complete residential Hydronic LPHVAC product in a range of approximately $2,100
for a 2,000 sq. ft. building to $30,000 for a 25,000 sq. ft. building. This
compares to traditional complete heating and air conditioning products priced in
a range of approximately $2,500 for a 2,000 sq. ft. building to $37,500 for a
5
<PAGE> 6
25,000 sq. ft. building per information from the Air Conditioning &
Refrigeration Institute ((C) 2000 ari.org). These selling prices are for all
components including controls and air ducts, but exclude installation labor
which is approximately $1.25 to $1.50 per sq. ft. for the Company's Hydronic
LPHVAC product, the same installation labor price for traditional heating and
air conditioning systems.
Status of Any Publicly Announced New Products or Services
The Company has no new product or service planned or announced to the public.
Competition and Competitive Position
The size and financial strength of the Company's primary competitors,
traditional residential heating and air conditioning manufacturers, Carrier,
Rheem, Trane, and Lennox are substantially greater than those of the Company.
The Company intends to compete against these manufacturers by offering a product
that is approximately the same cost to install, but is less costly to run than
their systems. There are major competitors for large commercial building
hydronics systems, such as Kitec and Bio-Radiant Energy, Inc. However, none of
the current hydronics systems manufacturers offer products that incorporate the
Company's trade secret low pressure constant temperature features designed to
handle residential heating and air conditioning requirements in compliance with
building codes. The Company's competitors have longer operating histories,
larger customer bases, and greater brand recognition than the Company.
Management is not aware of any significant barriers to the Company's entry into
the residential heating and air conditioning manufacturing market, however, the
Company at this time has no market share of this market.
Suppliers and Sources of Raw Materials
Management will rely on their combined experience and knowledge in the heating
and air conditioning manufacturing and construction businesses to arrange for
the manufacture of its hydronic parts. The Company will utilize hydronic parts
manufacturers to produce and assemble its Hydronic LPHVAC product. While the
Company has no current contracts with hydronic parts manufacturers, Management
is aware of manufacturers and suppliers such as Sparco Hydronic Heating,
Plumbing, and Energy Products, Amtrol, Inc. and Haydon Thermogenic. Management
is aware that general manufacturing costs for its Hydronic LPHVAC product
currently average approximately fifty percent of its projected wholesale selling
price. The Company will enter into agreements with manufacturers and suppliers
per its business plan after raising capital during the first six months of its
plan.
Dependence on One or a Few Major Customers
The Company will not depend on any one or a few major customers. The Company's
target market for the first two years of its business plan will be California
heating and air conditioning units installed in new housing starts and
replacement units for housing over fifteen years old. This market is served by
heating and air conditioning contractors in California estimated by
6
<PAGE> 7
Management at over six thousand throughout the State. According to United States
Census Bureau housing data (census.gov/const) for residences of one to four
units, California averaged the following new construction starts per year:
<TABLE>
<CAPTION>
Time Period Average Number of New Housing Starts Per Year
----------- ---------------------------------------------
<S> <C>
1980 - 1989 199,355
1990 - 1998 74,000
1999 103,888
</TABLE>
California's existing housing units total over 8,500,000 built before 1990 per
United States Census Bureau housing data (census.gov/const). Based upon an
average life for heating and air conditioning systems of fourteen to fifteen
years (Air Conditioning & Refrigeration Institute - (C) 2000 ari.org), the
Company will target this large potential replacement market with its Hydronic
LPHVAC product. After the first two years of marketing in California, the
Company intends to expand into the national heating and air conditioning market.
The national residential housing market that the Company will target with its
Hydronic LPHVAC system includes single family residences, condominiums, and
apartment buildings averaging over 1,000,000 new housing starts per year, for a
total national market of existing units over 47,000,000 built since 1959 per
United States Census Bureau housing data (census.gov/const).
Patents, Trademarks, Licenses, Franchises, Concessions, Royalty Agreements or
Labor Contracts
The Company has setup its first web page "hydronicsamerica.com", and will expand
its web site in the third quarter of 2000. The Company has no current plans for
any additional registrations such as patents, trademarks, copyrights,
franchises, concessions, royalty agreements or labor contracts at this time. The
Company will assess the need for any additional copyright, trademark or patent
applications on an ongoing basis. The Hydronic LPHVAC system consists of a
proprietary design for a gas fired temperature transfer generator that utilizes
a self-contained constant temperature fluid bath and aquas fluid mixture that
maintains temperature within plus or minus five degrees of any temperature
setting between thirty eight degrees and one hundred fifty degrees Fahrenheit.
The aquas fluid mixture is an integral part of the design which functions to
maintain the bath temperatures. The aquas fluid mixture is an important
intellectual property of the company and is protected by trade secret laws.
On March 15, 1997, the Company signed an exclusive license agreement with its
President for use of his Hydronic LPHVAC design in exchange for 70,500
restricted shares of the Company's common stock. The Company issued 70,500
shares of its common stock in exchange for a ten year exclusive right to
development, manufacturing, marketing, sale, sublicensing, and any and all
usages of the Hydronic LPHVAC design in the United States and throughout the
world. After ten years the license is subject to automatic renewal each year
thereafter, subject to written notification, sixty days in advance to the
renewal, by both parties of the license agreement.

Need for Government Approval for its Products or Services
The Company is not required to apply for or have any government approval for its
products or services.
Effect of Existing or Probable Governmental Regulations on the Company
The Company's business is not subject to material regulation by federal
governmental agencies. The Company will be required to meet all state and local
governmental building codes and standards for the manufacturer of its
residential Hydronics HVAC product. Management personnel are familiar with all
California state and local building codes, plumbing and health department
regulations, and contractor licensing requirements.
Research and Development Costs
The Company has not expended funds for research and development costs since
inception.
Costs and Effects of Compliance with Environmental Laws
Environmental regulations have had no materially adverse effect on the Company's
operations to date, but no assurance can be given that environmental regulations
will not, in the future, result in a curtailment of service or otherwise have a
materially adverse effect on the Company's business, financial condition or
results of operation. Public interest in the protection of the environment has
increased dramatically in recent years. The trend of more expansive and stricter
environmental legislation and regulations could continue. To the extent that
laws are enacted or other governmental action is taken that imposes
environmental protection requirements that result in increased costs, the
business and prospects of the Company could be adversely affected.
The Company's business plan allows for maintaining insurance coverage against
certain environmental liabilities, but there can be no assurance that such
insurance will continue to be available or carried by the Company or, if
available and carried, will be adequate to cover the Company's liability in the
event of a catastrophic occurrence.
Number of Total Employees and Number of Full-Time Employees
The Company's only current employees are its two Officers who will devote as
much time as the Board of Directors determines is necessary to manage the
affairs of the Company. The Officers intend to work on a full-time basis when
the Company raises capital per its business plan. The Company's business plan
calls for hiring five new full-time employees during the next twelve months.
8
<PAGE> 9
Risks
While Management believes its estimates of projected occurrences and events are
within the timetable of its business plan, there can be no guarantees or
assurances that the results anticipated will occur.
The Company's long-term viability is substantially dependent upon the widespread
acceptance of its residential Hydronics HVAC product. There is no historic
evidence that this type of new product will be accepted by the Company's
end-user, the residential home market or by the construction industry. The
potential lack of acceptance by purchasers of residential HVAC products could
have a material adverse effect upon the Company's business, financial condition,
operating results and cash flows.
The Company's performance and future operating results are substantially
dependent on the continued service and performance of its current Management.
The Company intends to hire a relatively small number of additional technical
and marketing personnel in the next year. Competition for such personnel is
intense, and there can be no assurance that the Company will be able to retain
its essential employees or that it will be able to attract or retain
highly-qualified technical and managerial personnel in the future. The loss of
the services of any of the Company's current Management or other key employees
or the inability to attract and retain the necessary technical, and marketing
personnel could have a material adverse effect upon the Company's business,
financial condition, operating results and cash flows.
The current officers, Mr. McNorton and Mr. Davis, are the sole officers and
directors of the company and have control in directing the activities of the
company. Both officers are involved in other business activities and may, in the
future, become involved in additional business opportunities. If a specific
business opportunity becomes available, the officers and directors of the
company may face a conflict of interest. The Company has not formulated a plan
to resolve any conflicts that may arise. While the Company and its sole officers
and directors have not formally adopted a plan to resolve any potential or
actual conflicts of interest that exist or that may arise, they have verbally
agreed to limit their roles in all other business activities to roles of passive
investors and devote full time services to the Company after the Company raises
capital of $5,000,000 through the sale of securities through a private placement
and is able to provide officers' salaries per its business plan.
While Management believes its estimates of projected occurrences and events are
within the timetable of its business plan, there can be no guarantees or
assurances that the results anticipated will occur. Investors in the Company
should be particularly aware of the inherent risks associated with the Company's
planned business. These risks include a lack of a proven market for the
Company's residential Hydronics HVAC product, lack of equity funding, and the
size of the Company compared to the size of its competitors. Although Management
intends to implement its business plan through the foreseeable future and will
do its best to mitigate the risks associated with its business plan, there can
be no assurance that such efforts will be
9
<PAGE> 10
successful. Management has no liquidation plans should the Company be unable to
receive funding. Should the Company be unable to implement its business plan,
Management would investigate all options available to retain value for the
shareholders. Among the options that would be considered are: acquisition of
another product or technology, or a merger or acquisition of another business
entity that has revenue and/or long-term growth potential. However, there are no
pending or anticipated arrangements, understandings or agreements with outside
parties for acquisitions, mergers or any other material transactions.
Year 2000 Disclosure
Before January 1, 2000, users of computers in business applications were
concerned that time-sensitive software might cause their computer systems to
recognize a date using "00" as the year 1900 rather than the year 2000. This
date recognition problem was mitigated by computer software compliance,
remediation, and improvements throughout the world. As of the date of this
filing, minimal computer software problems have been recorded or reported
relating to software date recognition problems.
The Company's Management has hands-on familiarity with all of the software
utilized in its business plan and has experienced no Year 2000 related systems
problems as of the date of this filing. Third party suppliers of software,
hardware, and equipment which rely on proper date recognition have also
confirmed their products have experienced no significant malfunctions or errors
related to date recognition problems.
As Management has experienced no date recognition problems in computer systems,
equipment, or third party provided products, the Company's Year 2000 compliance
plan is: utilize software and other products which are already Year 2000
compatible and prepare no Year 2000 contingency plans.
REPORTS TO SECURITIES HOLDERS
The Company's bylaws do not require the Company to deliver an annual report to
its shareholders and the Company has no present plans to provide an annual
report to its shareholders. The Company is voluntarily filing this Form 10-KSB
in order to make its financial information equally available to any interested
parties or investors. The Company is subject to the disclosure rules of
Regulation S-B for a small business issuer under the Securities Act of 1933 and
the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. The Company is subject to disclosure filing
requirements and is required to file Form 10-KSB annually and Form 10-QSB
quarterly. In addition, the Company will be required to file Form 8 and other
proxy and information statements from time to time as required.
The public may read and copy any materials the Company files with the Securities
and Exchange Commission, ("SEC"), at the SEC'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 calling the SEC at
1-800-SEC-0330. The SEC maintains an Internet site
10
<PAGE> 11
(http://www.sec.gov) that contains reports, proxy and information statements,
and other information regarding issuers that file electronically with the SEC.
ITEM 2 DESCRIPTION OF PROPERTY
The Company's principal executive office address is 12140 Cotorro Way, San
Diego, CA 92128. The principal executive office and telephone number are
provided by an officer of the corporation. The costs associated with the use of
the telephone and mailing address were deemed by management to be immaterial as
the telephone and mailing address were almost exclusively used by the officer
for other business purposes. Management considers the Company's current
principal office space arrangement adequate until such time as the Company
achieves its business plan goal of raising capital of $5,000,000 and then begins
hiring new employees per its business plan.
ITEM 3 LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
The Company is not currently involved in any legal proceedings and is not aware
of any pending or potential legal actions.
ITEM 4 SUBMISSION OF MATTERS TO A VOTE OF SECURITY HOLDERS
During the fourth quarter of the fiscal year ended March 31, 2000, there were no
submissions of matters to a vote of security holders.
PART II
ITEM 5 MARKET FOR COMMON EQUITY AND RELATED STOCKHOLDERS MATTERS.
The Company plans to file for trading on the OTC Electronic Bulletin Board which
is sponsored by the National Association of Securities Dealers (NASD). The OTC
Electronic Bulletin Board is a network of security dealers who buy and sell
stock. The dealers are connected by a computer network which provides
information on current "bids" and "asks" as well as volume information.
As of the date of this filing, there is no public market for the Company's
securities. As of March 31, 2000, the Company had 73 shareholders of record. The
Company has paid no cash dividends. The Company has no outstanding options. The
Company has no plans to register any of its securities under the Securities Act
for sale by security holders. There is no public offering of equity and there is
no proposed public offering of equity.
11
<PAGE> 12
ITEM 6 MANAGEMENT'S PLAN OF OPERATION
The Company's current cash balance is $8195. Management believes the current
cash balance is sufficient to fund only a minimum level of operations. In order
to advance the Company's business plan, the Company must raise capital through
the sale of equity securities. To date, the Company has sold $9,200 in equity
securities and used approximately $1,005 for licenses and fees. Sales of the
Company's equity securities have allowed the Company to maintain a positive cash
flow balance.
Management has made initial progress in implementing its business plan by
obtaining an exclusive licence for the use of the HVAC proprietary design,
registering its Internet domain name on the Internet, and opening its own web
page on the Internet. The Company will only be able to continue to advance its
business plan after it receives capital funding through the sale of equity
securities. After raising capital, Management intends to hire employees, rent
commercial space in San Diego, and begin production and marketing of its
residential Hydronics LPHVAC product. The Company intends to use its equity
capital to fund the Company's business plan during the next twelve months as
cash flow from sales is not estimated to begin until year two of its business
plan. The Company will face considerable risk in each of its business plan
steps, such as difficulty of hiring competent personnel within its budget,
longer than anticipated time for subcontractors to manufacture its residential
Hydronics LPHVAC product, and a shortfall of funding due to the Company's
inability to raise capital in the equity securities market. If no funding is
received during the next twelve months, the Company will be forced to rely on
its existing cash in the bank and funds loaned by the directors and officers.
The Company's officers and directors have no formal commitments or arrangements
to advance or loan funds to the Company. In such a restricted cash flow
scenario, the Company would be unable to complete its business plan steps, and
would, instead, delay all cash intensive activities. Without necessary cash
flow, the Company may be dormant during the next twelve months, or until such
time as necessary funds could be raised in the equity securities market.
There are no current plans for additional product research and development. The
Company plans to purchase approximately $50,000 in furniture, computers, and
software during the next twelve months from proceeds of its equity security
sales. The Company's business plan provides for an increase of five employees
during the next twelve months.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT
Board of Directors July 18, 2000
Dicut, Inc.
Poway, California
I have audited the accompanying Balance Sheets of Dicut, Inc. (A
Development Stage Company), as of March 31, 2000, March 31, 1999, and March 31,
1998, and the related statements of operations, stockholders' equity and cash
flows for the three years ended March 31, 2000, March 31, 1999, and March 31,
1998. 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 we 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 provides 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 Dicut, Inc. (A
Development Stage Company), as of March 31, 2000, March 31, 1999, and March 31,
1998, and the related statements of operations, stockholders' equity and cash
flows for the three years ended March 31, 2000, March 31, 1999, and March 31,
1998, in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming the
Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note #5 to the
financial statements, the Company has suffered recurring losses from operations
and has no established source of revenue. This raises substantial doubt about
its ability to continue as a going concern. Management's plan in regard to these
matters is described in Note #5. These financial statements do not include any
adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

DICUT, INC.
(A Development Stage Company)
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
MARCH 31, 2000, MARCH 31, 1999, and MARCH 31, 1998
NOTE 1 - HISTORY AND ORGANIZATION OF THE COMPANY
The Company was organized MAY 31, 1994, under the laws of the State of
Delaware as DICUT, INC. The Company currently has no operations and in
accordance with SFAS #7, is considered a development company.
NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Accounting Method
The Company records income and expenses on the accrual method.
Estimates
The preparation of 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 revenue and expenses during the reporting
period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Cash and equivalents
The Company maintains a cash balance in a non-interest-bearing bank
that currently does not exceed federally insured limits. For the
purpose of the statements of cash flows, all highly liquid
investments with the maturity of three months or less are
considered to be cash equivalents. There are no cash equivalents as
of March 31, 2000.

NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
Income Taxes
Income taxes are provided for using the liability method of
accounting in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards No. 109 (SFAS #109) "Accounting for Income Taxes". A
deferred tax asset or liability is recorded for all temporary
difference between financial and tax reporting. Deferred tax
expense (benefit) results from the net change during the year of
deferred tax assets and liabilities.
Reporting on Costs of Start-Up Activities
Statement of Position 98-5 ("SOP 98-5"), "Reporting on the Costs of
Start-Up Activities" which provides guidance on the financial
reporting of start-up costs and organization costs. It requires
most costs of start-up activities and organization costs to be
expensed as incurred. SOP 98-5 is effective for fiscal years
beginning after December 15, 1998. With the adoption of SOP 98-5,
there has been little or no effect on the company's financial
statements.
Loss Per Share
Net loss per share is provided in accordance with Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 128 (SFAS #128) "Earnings Per
Share". Basic loss per share is computed by dividing losses
available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of
common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted loss per share
reflects per share amounts that would have resulted if dilative
common stock equivalents had been converted to common stock. As of
March 31, 2000, the Company had no dilative common stock
equivalents such as stock options.

There are no current employment agreements between the Company and its executive
officers.
The Board agreed to pay Mr. McNorton 70,500 shares of common stock for an
exclusive license agreement on March 15, 1997. The stock was valued at the price
unaffiliated investors paid for stock sold by the Company, $.10 per share. On
January 15, 2000, 3,102,000 shares of the Company's common stock were issued to
him per a 45 for 1 stock split.
The Board agreed to pay Mr. Davis for administrative services and services
related to the Company's business plan 23,500 shares of the Company's common
stock on March 15, 1997. The stock was valued at the price unaffiliated
investors paid for stock sold by the Company, $.10 per share. On January 15,
2000, 1,034,000 shares of the Company's common stock were issued to him per a 45
for 1 stock split.
The terms of these stock issuances were as fair to the Company, in the Board's
opinion, as could have been made with an unaffiliated third party.
The officers currently devote an immaterial amount of time to manage the affairs
of the Company. The Directors and Principal Officers have agreed to work with no
remuneration until such time as the Company receives sufficient revenues
necessary to provide proper salaries to all Officers and compensation for
Directors' participation. The Officers and the Board of Directors have the
responsibility to determine the timing of remuneration for key personnel based
upon such factors as positive cash flow to include stock sales, product sales,
estimated cash expenditures, accounts receivable, accounts payable, notes
payable, and a cash balance
15
<PAGE> 30
of not less than $25,000 at each month end. When positive cash flow reaches
$25,000 at each month end and appears sustainable the board of directors will
readdress compensation for key personnel and enact a plan at that time which
will benefit the Company as a whole. At this time, management cannot accurately
estimate when sufficient revenues will occur to implement this compensation, or
the exact amount of compensation.
There are no annuity, pension or retirement benefits proposed to be paid to
officers, directors or employees of the Corporation in the event of retirement
at normal retirement date pursuant to any presently existing plan provided or
contributed to by the Corporation or any of its subsidiaries, if any.
