Item 1. Description of Business
- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
General
- - ------
TEQ - 1 Corporation (the "Company") was incorporated under the laws of
the State of Nevada on November 19, 1997. The Company has had no commercial
operations to date. The Company has no full-time employees and owns no real
estate.
The Company's current business plan is to seek, investigate, and acquire
a business opportunity representing assets or businesses intended to enhance
shareholder value. The Company is deemed to be a new or start-up venture with
all of the unforeseen costs, expenses, problems, and difficulties to which
such ventures are subject.
At the present time, neither the Company nor its officers, directors or
affiliates have identified any business opportunity to acquire or pursue, nor
has the Company reached any agreement or understanding with any person
concerning a transaction of any kind. The Company is unable to predict when
it may participate in a business opportunity. It expects, however, that the
analysis and selection of a business opportunity may take several months or
more.
Because an opportunity has not been identified, it is impossible to
predict or disclose the specific risks and hazards of such opportunity. There
is no assurance that the Company will acquire a favorable business opportunity
or that such opportunity will generate revenues or profits, or that
shareholder value will be increased thereby. As such, any potential business
opportunity is expected to be highly speculative and therefore risky. Such
opportunity may be highly illiquid and could result in a total loss to the
Company and its stockholders.
The Company has limited capital which may not be adequate to take
advantage of many business opportunities. In the event funds are adequate, it
is likely that it will only be able to take advantage of only one such
business opportunity. This lack of diversification may prevent the Company
from pursuing future opportunities if its first one proves to be unsuccessful.
Moreover, a significant portion of the Company's available funds may be
expended for investigative expenses without any guarantee that a transaction
will be consummated. The Company's long term success may therefore depend
upon its ability to raise additional capital. However, the Company has not
investigated the availability, source, or terms for additional capital and
will not do so until it determines such a need. Additionally, there is no
assurance that funds will be available from any source or, if available,
obtainable on terms acceptable to the Company. If not available, the
Company's operations will be limited to those that can be financed with its
limited capital.
Another effect of the Company's limited capital is that its analysis and
investigation of potential opportunities will also be limited which could
increase the Company's risk. Management decisions will likely be made without
detailed feasibility studies, independent analysis and market surveys. The
Company will likely be making decisions upon information provided by the
owner, sponsor, or others associated with the business opportunity. Such
information may not always be objective.
3
<PAGE>
The Company is filing this Form 10-SB on a voluntary basis in order to
become a 12(g) registered company under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934
(the "Act"). As a "reporting company", the Company believes it may be more
attractive to a potential business opportunity because it may eventually be
able to list its shares for trading on the National Association of Securities
Dealers ("NASD") Over-The-Counter Bullet Board ("OTCBB") or any other stock
exchange or securities market that requires a company's securities to be
registered under the Act prior to listing. The Company's Management believes
that various opportunities may also be attracted to the Company because of
their desire to eventually develop a public market in the Company's stock in
order to enhance liquidity for current and future shareholders; to implement
potential plans for raising capital through the public sale of securities; and
to acquire additional assets through issuance of securities rather than for
cash.
The reorganization of a business opportunity may be made by purchase,
merger, exchange of stock, or otherwise, and may encompass assets or a
business entity, such as a corporation, joint venture or partnership. The
final structure, which is currently impossible to predict, will be the result
of negotiations, consultation from legal counsel, and the needs of the
specific business opportunity. Although it is likely, there is no assurance
that the Company would be the surviving entity.
There is also a possibility that the Company may finance the
reorganization of the business opportunity by borrowing against the assets or
against the projected future revenues or profits of the business opportunity
to be acquired. This could increase the Company's exposure to larger losses.
A business opportunity acquired through a heavily financed ("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
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. There are currently no loan arrangements or arrangements for any
financing whatsoever relating to any business opportunities.
Although the terms and structure of a transaction with the Company cannot
be predicted, it is possible that the transaction would be a "tax free"
reorganization under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986. Such a transaction
normally requires the issuance to the stockholders of the acquired entity, a
controlling interest (i.e. 80% or more) of the common stock of the combined
entities immediately following the reorganization. If a transaction were
structured to take advantage of these provisions rather than other "tax free"
provisions provided under the Internal Revenue Code, the Company's current
stockholders would retain, in the aggregate, 20% or less of the total issued
and outstanding shares. This could result in substantial dilution in the
equity of stockholders of the Company prior to such reorganization.
It is possible that any business combination entered into by the Company
could result in a change of control as a result of stock issuances by the
Company or shares purchased from the current shareholders of the Company by
the acquiring entity or its affiliates. If stock is purchased from the
current shareholders, the transaction is very likely to result in substantial
gains to them relative to their purchase price for such stock. Such sale may
occur at a price not relative to or reflective of any value of the shares held
by such parties, and at a price which may not be achieved by other individual
shareholders at the time. Additionally, the sale of a controlling interest by
4
<PAGE>
certain principal shareholders of the Company could occur at a time when the
other shareholders of the Company remain subject to restrictions on the
transfer of their shares. The Company does not believe its officers and
directors would become an "underwriter" within the meaning of the Section
2(11) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, with regards to such sales,
as such sales would likely be made in non-public transactions.
The Company anticipates that any new securities issued in a
reorganization would be issued in reliance upon exemptions, if any are
available, from registration under applicable federal and state securities
laws. Any securities which the Company might acquire in exchange for its
Common Stock will likely be "restricted securities" within the meaning of the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "1933 Act"). Sales of such securities
cannot proceed unless a registration statement has been declared effective by
the Securities and Exchange Commission or an exemption from registration is
available. The Company would be required to comply with the provisions of the
1933 Act to effect any resale. In the event of a resale, the Company may rely
on Section 4(1) of the 1933 Act, which exempts sales of securities not
involving a public offering. Also, the Company may agree to register such
securities sometime after the transaction is consummated. The issuance of
additional securities and their potential sale into any trading market, that
might develop in the Company's securities, could have a depressive effect upon
the price of the Company's stock.
Nevada Business Corporation Act vests authority in the Board of Directors
with written consent to decide and approve the issuance of stock. While in
some instances a proposed participation in a business opportunity may be
submitted to the stockholders for their consideration, it is unlikely that the
Company's minority shareholders will be furnished with financial statements,
or any other documentation, concerning a target opportunity. It is also
emphasized that management of the Company could effect transactions having a
potentially adverse impact upon the Company's shareholders. The Company may
adopt an amendment to its Articles of Incorporation which precludes the
anti-takeover provisions of Nevada Revised Statutes. Also, a shareholder may
have no right of dissent under Nevada law, if a majority of shareholders
consent in writing to the transaction.
Depending upon the nature of the transaction, the current officers and
directors of the Company may resign their positions with the Company upon
completion of a transaction. In the event of such a resignation, the
Company's current management would not have any control over the conduct of
the Company's business following the Company's combination with a business
opportunity.
The Company does not foresee that it would enter into any business
opportunity with which its officers or directors are currently affiliated.
Should the Company determine in the future, contrary to foregoing
expectations, that a transaction with an affiliate would be in the best
interest of the Company and its stockholders, the Company may enter into such
a transaction only if: a) the material facts as to the relationship or
interest of the affiliate are disclosed to the board of directors and
shareholders, and the Board and/or majority of disinterested shareholders in
good faith authorizes the transaction by the affirmative vote, even though the
disinterested parties constitute less than a quorum; and b) the contract or
transaction is fair as to the Company as of the time it is authorized,
approved or ratified by the Board of Directors or the stockholders.

Sources of Opportunities
- - -----------------------
Business opportunities may come to the Company's attention from various
sources, including its officer and director, its stockholders, professional
advisors such as attorneys and accountants, securities broker-dealers, venture
capitalists, members of the financial community, and others who may present
unsolicited proposals. The Company has no plans, understandings, agreements,
or commitments with any individual to act as a finder of opportunities for the
Company. The analysis of business opportunities will be undertaken by or
under the supervision of the Company's president, who is not a professional
business analyst. See "Directors, Executive Officers, Promoters and Control
Persons". Although there are no current plans to do so, Company's management
may hire an outside consultant to assist in the investigation and selection of
business opportunities, and may pay a finder's fee. No policies have been
adopted regarding use of such consultants or advisors, the criteria to be used
in selecting such consultants or advisors, the services to be provided, the
term of service, or the total amount of fees that may be paid. And, because
of the limited resources of the Company, it is likely that any fee the Company
agrees to pay would be in stock instead of cash.
It is possible that the range of business opportunities available for
consideration by the Company could be limited by the impact of Securities and
Exchange Commission regulations regarding purchase and sale of "penny stocks."
The regulations would affect, and possibly impair, any market that might
develop in the Company's securities until such time as they qualify for
listing on NASDAQ or on another exchange which would make them exempt from
applicability of the "penny stock" regulations.
Investigation and Selection of Business Opportunities
- - ----------------------------------------------------
Management will make a decision to participate in a specific business
opportunity based on an analysis of the quality of the opportunity's business
plan, its management and personnel, the anticipated market acceptability of
new products or marketing concepts, the merit of technological changes, the
perceived benefit the opportunity will derive from becoming a publicly held
entity, and numerous other factors which are difficult, if not impossible, to
analyze through the application of any objective criteria. It is likely that
the historical operations of a specific business opportunity may not be
indicative of its future potential because of possible future changes in
marketing approaches, expansion plans, product emphasis, management, or other
changes.
The Company will be dependent upon the owners of a business opportunity
to identify any potential future problems and to implement necessary changes.
Because the Company may participate in a business opportunity with a newly
organized firm or with a firm which is entering a new phase of growth, the
Company may incur further risks because management and the company's products
or services may be unproven and unprofitable when acquired. Business
opportunities presented to the Company may (i) be recently organized with no
operating history, or a history of losses attributable to under-capitalization
or other factors; (ii) be experiencing financial or operating difficulties;
(iii) be in need of funds to develop a new product or service or to expand
into a new market; (iv) be relying upon an untested product or marketing
concept; or (v) have a combination of the characteristics mentioned in (i)
through (iv). The Company intends to concentrate its reorganization efforts
on properties or businesses that it believes to be undervalued. Given the
above factors, investors should expect that any reorganization candidate may
have a history of losses or low profitability.
6
<PAGE>
The Company's search will be directed primarily towards small and medium
sized business opportunities with or without revenues and earnings which
desire to become public corporations and which are able to satisfy, or
anticipate in the near future being able to satisfy, the minimum asset
requirements in order to qualify shares for trading on NASDAQ or a stock
exchange. The Company intends to seek opportunities demonstrating the
potential of long term growth.
The Company's investigation of business opportunities will not be
restricted to any particular geographical area, industry, or stage of growth
and may, therefore, engage in essentially any business, to the extent of its
limited resources. No specific factors described herein will be controlling
in the selection of a business opportunity. Management will attempt to
analyze the factors it deems appropriate to each opportunity and make a
determination based upon a reasonable investigation of available data.
Prior to making a decision to participate in a business opportunity, the
Company will generally request that it be provided with a business plan
regarding the business opportunity containing such items as a description of
products, services and company history; management resumes; financial
information; available projections, with related assumptions upon which they
are based; an explanation of proprietary products and services; evidence of
existing patents, trademarks, or services marks, or rights thereto; present
and proposed forms of compensation to management; a description of
transactions between such company and its affiliates during relevant periods;
a description of present and required facilities; an analysis of risks and
competitive conditions and estimated capital requirements.
As part of the Company's investigation, the Company's executive officers
and directors may meet personally with management and key personnel, may visit
and inspect material facilities, obtain independent analysis or verification
of certain information provided, check references of management and key
personnel, and take other reasonable investigative measures, to the extent of
the Company's limited financial resources and management expertise. However,
it is also possible that an investigation of such opportunities may be
exclusively by phone, mail, facsimile, email or other methods not involving a
physical meeting or inspection with such opportunities.
The Company will likely require audited financial statements from
opportunities with which it proposes to acquire or merge because 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
audited financial statements for any opportunity in which it engages. Failure
to do so could expose the Company to enforcement actions by the Securities and
Exchange Commission which could result in penalties, legal fees and/or
injunctive action, which would have a material adverse effect on the Company
and its operations.
In the event that audited financial statements are not available, the
Company may still engage in such an opportunity if it believes that audited
financial statements will be provided within a reasonable time after the
Company enters into a transaction with such opportunity. However without
audited financial information, the Company will not have the benefit of full
and accurate information provided by independent verification about the
financial condition and recent interim operating history of the target
company. This could substantially increase the risk of a potential
transaction.
7
<PAGE>
The Company will participate in a business opportunity only after the
negotiation and execution of a written agreement. Although the terms of such
agreement cannot be predicted, generally such an agreement would require
specific representations and warranties by all of the parties thereto, specify
certain events of default, detail the terms of closing and the conditions
which must be satisfied by each of the parties thereto prior to such closing,
outline the manner of bearing costs if the transaction is not closed, set
forth remedies upon default, and include miscellaneous other terms. Even
after a definitive agreement is executed, it is possible that the
reorganization would not be consummated should any party elect to exercise any
right provided in the agreement to terminate it on specified grounds.
Competition
- - ----------
The Company expects to encounter substantial competition in its efforts
to locate attractive opportunities, primarily from business development
companies, venture capital partnerships and corporations, venture capital
affiliates of large industrial and financial companies, small investment
companies, and wealthy individuals. Many of these entities will have
significantly greater experience, resources and managerial capabilities than
the Company and will therefore be in a better position than the Company to
obtain access to attractive business opportunities. The Company also will
possibly experience competition from other public companies seeking such
opportunities, some of which may have more funds available than does the
Company.
Regulation
- - ---------
The Company may acquire an opportunity that is subject to regulation or
licensing by federal, state, or local authorities which may be a
time-consuming, expensive process and may limit other investment opportunities
of the Company.
The Company may participate in a business opportunity by purchasing,
trading or selling the securities of such business. The Company does not,
however, intend to engage primarily in such activities, and therefore intends
to avoid being classified as an "investment company" under the Investment
Company Act of 1940 (the "Investment Act"). Such a classification could
subject the Company to a costly registration process. Section 3(a) of the
Investment Act excludes from the definition of an "investment company," any
entity that does not engage primarily in the business of investing,
reinvesting or trading in securities, or that does not engage in the business
of investing, owning, holding or trading "investment securities" (defined as
"all securities other than government securities or securities of
majority-owned subsidiaries") the value of which exceeds 40% of the value of
its total assets (excluding government securities, cash or cash items). Since
the Company will not register as an investment company, stockholders will not
be afforded certain protections under the Investment Act.
Regulation of Penny Stocks. 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 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
8
<PAGE>
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 consent prior to the sale of a security.
Consequently, the rule may affect the ability of broker-dealers to sell the
Company's securities in an offering or in any market that might develop
thereafter.
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, 15g-7, and 15g-9 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, 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 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. The
Company's management is aware of the abuses that have occurred historically in
the penny stock market. Although the Company does not expect to be in a
position to dictate the behavior of the market or of broker-dealers who
participate in the market, management will strive within the confines of
practical limitations to prevent the described patterns from being established
with respect to the Company's securities.
Blue Sky Considerations. Because the securities to be 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.
Warning is hereby given that the shares may be "restricted" from resale. In
the event of a violation of state laws regarding resale of the shares, the
Company could be liable for civil and criminal penalties which would be a
substantial impairment to the Company.
At the date of this registration statement, the Company has no intention
of offering further shares in a private offering to anyone. Further, the
policy of the Board of Directors is that any future offering of shares will
only be made after a reorganization has been made and can be disclosed in
appropriate Form 8-K filings.
Rule 144 Sales. Shares of the Company's Common Stock that are held by
officers, directors, and any stockholder owing greater than 10% of the total
issued and outstanding shares 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
9
<PAGE>
statement or under the requirements of Rule 144 or other applicable exemptions
from registration under the 1933 Act and as required under applicable state
securities laws. Rule 144 provides in essence that a person who has held
restricted securities for one year 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. There is no limit on the amount of restricted securities that may be
sold by a non-affiliate 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 1933 Act, if available, or pursuant to subsequent
registration 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 shares outstanding, one million shares are available
for resale (subject to volume limitations for affiliates) under Rule 144. One
hundred thousand shares are available for resale under Rule 144 without any
volume limitation.
Administrative Offices
- - ---------------------
The Company currently maintains a mailing address at 3434 East 7800
South, #237, Salt Lake City, Utah 84121. Other than this mailing address, the
Company does not currently maintain any other office facilities, and does not
anticipate the need for maintaining office facilities at any time in the
foreseeable future. The Company pays no rent or other fees for the use of
this mailing address.
Employees
- - --------
The Company is a development stage company and currently has no employees
and does not anticipate a need to engage any full-time employees so long as it
is seeking and evaluating business opportunities.
The Company currently has only one individual who is serving as its
officer and director on a part time basis. The Company will be heavily
dependent upon her skills, talents, and abilities to implement its business
plan, and may, from time to time, find that the inability of this person to
devote full time attention to the business of the Company may result in a
delay in progress toward implementing its business plan. Additionally,
conflicts of interest may arise that can be resolved only through exercise of
good judgment as is consistent with fiduciary duties to the Company. Such
conflicts may require that the Company attempt to employ additional personnel.
There is no assurance that the services of such persons will be available or
that they can be obtained upon terms favorable to the Company. Certain of the
officers and directors of the Company may be directors and/or principal
shareholders of other companies and, therefore, could face conflicts of
interest with respect to potential reorganizations. In addition, officers and
directors of the Company may in the future participate in business ventures
which could be deemed to compete directly with the Company. Additional
conflicts of interest and non-arms length transactions may also arise in the
future in the event the Company's officers or directors are involved in the
management of any firm with which the Company transacts business. The
Company's Board of Directors has adopted a policy that the Company will not
seek a merger with, or reorganization of, any entity in which management
serves as officers or directors, or in which they or their family members own
or hold a controlling ownership interest. Although the Board of Directors
10
<PAGE>
could elect to change this policy, the Board of Directors has no present
intention to do so. In addition, if the Company, and other companies with
which the Company's officers and directors are affiliated, both desire to take
advantage of a potential business opportunity, then the Board of Directors has
agreed that said opportunity should be available to each such company in the
order in which such companies registered or became current in the filing of
annual reports under the Exchange Act subsequent to January 1, 2000 unless the
targeted business opportunity specifically chooses otherwise.
The Company's officers and directors or majority shareholders 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 transaction.
It is anticipated that a substantial premium over the initial cost of such
shares may be paid by the purchaser in conjunction with any sale of shares by
the Company's officers and directors which is made as a condition to, or in
connection with, a proposed transaction. The fact that a substantial premium
may be paid to the Company's officers and directors to acquire their shares
creates a potential conflict of interest for them in satisfying their
fiduciary duties to the Company and its other shareholders. Even though such
a sale could result in a substantial profit to them, they would be legally
required to make the decision based upon the best interests of the Company and
the Company's other shareholders, rather than their own personal pecuniary
benefit.
Because investors will not be able to evaluate the merits of possible
business reorganizations by the Company, they should critically assess the
information concerning the Company's officers and directors.

Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Operations or Plan of
Operations.
- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Liquidity and Capital Resources for the Year Ended December 31, 1999 (Audited)
- - ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Company remains in the development stage and, since inception, has
had no revenues. At December 31, 1999, the Company had working capital of $0.
The Company had cash in the amount of $0. All cash raised by the Company to
date, has come from a $1,000 loan to the Company by its president, Tammy
Gehring, on January 1, 2000 to obtain capital to pay the costs of becoming a
reporting company under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Management is
hopeful that becoming a reporting company will increase the number of
prospective business ventures that may be available to the Company.
During the period from November 19, 1997 (inception) through December 31,
1999, the Company has engaged in no significant operations other than
organizational activities. No revenues were received by the Company during
this period. The Company has incurred operating expenses since inception to
the year ended December 31, 1999 of ($1,815). The net loss on operations was
($257) from January 1, 1999 through December 31, 1999. Such losses will
continue unless a business opportunity with revenues and profits can be
acquired by the Company. There is no assurance that revenues or profitability
will ever be achieved by the Company.
The Company will carry out its plan of business as discussed above. The
Company cannot predict to what extent its lack of liquidity and capital
resources will impair the consummation of a business combination or whether it
will incur further operating losses through any business entity which the
Company may eventually acquire.

inception through December 31, 1999 of ($1,815), which resulted primarily from
general and administrative expenses and interest expense. The net loss per
share for each period was ($0.00) per share.
For the current fiscal year, the Company anticipates incurring a loss as
a result of legal and accounting expenses, expenses associated with
registration under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, and expenses
associated with locating and evaluating reorganization candidates. The
Company anticipates that until a business combination is completed with a
reorganization candidate, it will not generate revenues other than possible
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
- - ----------------------------
Management believes that the Company has sufficient cash to meet the
anticipated needs of the Company's operations through at least the first two
calendar quarters of 2001. However, there can be no assurances to that
effect, as the Company has no revenues and the Company's need for capital may
change dramatically if it acquires an interest in a business opportunity
during that period. In the event the Company requires additional funds, the
Company will have to seek loans or equity placements to cover such cash needs.
There is no assurance additional capital will be available to the Company on
acceptable terms. In the event the Company is able to complete a business
combination during this period, lack of its existing capital may be a
sufficient impediment to prevent it from accomplishing the goal of completing
a business combination. There is no assurance, however, that without funds it
will ultimately allow the Company to complete a business combination. Once a
business combination is completed, the Company's needs for additional
financing are likely to increase substantially.
12
<PAGE>
The Company's current president has verbally committed to providing funds
necessary to maintain the Corporation's existence until such time as it is
able to seek a combination with a viable business opportunity. However, there
can be no assurance that any additional funds will be available to the Company
to allow it to cover its expenses as they may be incurred. It is likely that
such additional funds, if needed, will be provided by management in the form
of the loan. However, management may also opt to acquire additional shares of
the Company's stock which would result in the issuance of additional shares
and a corresponding dilution in ownership and voting power to the Company's
existing shareholders.
Irrespective of whether the Company's cash assets prove to be adequate to
meet the Company's operational needs, the Company might seek to compensate
providers of services by issuances of stock in lieu of cash.
Year 2000 Issues
- - ---------------
Year 2000 problems result primarily from the inability of some computer
software to properly store, recall, or use data after December 31, 1999.
These problems may affect many computers and other devices that contain
embedded computer chips. The Company's operations, however, do not rely on
information technology (IT) systems. Accordingly, the Company does not
believe it will be material affected by Year 2000 problems.
The Company relies on non-IT systems that may suffer from Year 2000
problems, including telephone systems and facsimile and other office machines.
Moreover, the Company relies on third-parties that may suffer from Year 2000
problems that could affect the Company's operations, including banks, oil
field operators, and utilities. In light of the Company's substantially
limited operations, the Company does not believe that such non-IT systems or
third-party Year 2000 problems will affect the Company any differently or
adversely than similar companies in similar industries. Consequently, the
Company does not currently intend to conduct a readiness assessment of Year
2000 problems or to develop a detailed contingency plan with respect to Year
2000 problems that may affect the Company.
- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Item 3. Description of Property
- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Company has no property. The Company does not currently maintain an
office or any other facilities. It does currently maintain a mailing address
at 3434 East 7800 South, #237, Salt Lake City, Utah 84121. The Company pays
no rent for the use of this mailing address. The Company does not believe
that it will need to maintain an office at any time in the foreseeable future
in order to carry out its plan of operations described herein.

Statement, the number of shares of Common Stock owned of record and
beneficially by executive officers, directors and persons who hold 5.0% or
more of the outstanding Common Stock of the Company. Also included are the

- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Item 5. Directors, Executive Officers, Promoters and Control Persons
- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The directors and executive officers currently serving the Company are
as follows:
NAME AGE POSITION HELD SINCE
- ----- ---- -------------- ------
Tammy Gehring 25 President, Secretary, 1997
Treasurer and Director
Tammy Gehring, age 25, has been President, Secretary, Treasurer and
Director of the Company since inception. Ms. Gehring is employed at Park
Street Investments, Inc. as an assistant and consultant in Mergers and
Acquisitions since June 1997. Prior to this, Ms. Gehring was employed as an
administrative assistant in the mergers and acquisitions department of a
financial consulting firm based in Salt Lake City, Utah since February 1996.
Previous to that, Ms. Gehring was an accounting and finance student at Salt
Lake Community College. Ms. Gehring served as an officer and director of
Flexweight Corporation from August 1996 through May 1998. Currently, Ms.
Gehring is a director of Area Investment and Development Company.
14
<PAGE>
The directors named above will serve until the next annual meeting of the
Company's stockholders. Thereafter, directors will be elected for one-year
terms at the annual stockholders' meeting. Officers will hold their positions
as directed by the board of directors. Currently, none of the Company's
officers nor directors have any employment agreement with the Company, nor is
any currently contemplated. There is no arrangement or understanding between
the directors and officers of the Company and any other person pursuant to
which any director or officer was or is to be selected as a director or
officer.
The directors and officers of the Company will devote such time to the
Company's affairs on an "as needed" basis, but less than 20 hours per month.
As a result, the actual amount of time which they will devote to the Company's
affairs is unknown and is likely to vary substantially from month to month.
While it is unexpected, it is possible that after the Company consummates
a transaction with an unaffiliated business opportunity, that the entity may
employ or retain a member of the Company's management for future services.
However, the Company has adopted a policy whereby the offer of any
post-transaction compensation to members of management will not be a
consideration in the Company's decision to undertake any proposed transaction.
Each member of management has agreed to disclose to the Company's Board of
Directors any discussions concerning possible compensation to be paid to them
by any entity which proposes to undertake a transaction with the Company and
further, to abstain from voting on such transaction.
It is possible that persons associated with or known to management may be
responsible for introducing a potential business opportunity to the Company
and may therefore be compensated with a finder's fee in cash or stock. The
amount of such finder's fee, if applicable, cannot be determined as of the
date of filing this report, but is expected to be comparable to consideration
paid in similar transactions. No member of management of the Company will
receive any finders fee, either directly or indirectly, as a result of their
respective efforts to implement the Company's business plan outlined herein.
Exclusion of Liability
- - ---------------------
The Nevada Corporation Act excludes personal liability for its directors
for monetary damages based upon any violation of their fiduciary duties as
directors, except as to liability for any breach of the duty of loyalty, acts
or omissions not in good faith or which involve intentional misconduct or a
knowing violation of law, acts in violation of the Nevada Corporation Act, or
any transaction from which a director receives an improper personal benefit.
This exclusion of liability does not limit any right which a director may
have to be indemnified and does not affect any director's liability under
federal or applicable state securities laws.
15
<PAGE>
- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Item 6. Executive Compensation
- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
No officer or director has received any other remuneration in the two
year period prior to the filing of this registration statement. Although
there is no current plan in existence, it is possible that the Company will
adopt a plan to pay or accrue compensation to its officers and directors for
services related to seeking business opportunities and completing a merger or
reorganization transaction. The Company has no stock option, retirement,
pension, or profit-sharing programs for the benefit of directors, officers or
other employees, but the Board of Directors may recommend adoption of one or
more such programs in the future.
- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Item 7. Certain Relationships and Related Transactions
- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
On November 23, 1997, the Company issued to Tammy Gehring, its founding
director, a total of 1,000,000 shares of Common Stock for services rendered in
connection with the Company's formation with a value of $1,000. Also on
November 23, 1997, the Company issued to Tyson Schiff a total of 100,000
shares of Common Stock for services rendered in connection with the Company's
formation with a value of $100.
On January 1, 2000, Tammy Gehring, the Company's president and director,
loaned the Company a total of $1,000 for various administrative expenses.
This amount is due on demand and bears interest at 10% per annum.
- ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Item 8. Description of Securities
- ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Common Stock
- - -----------
The Company's Articles of Incorporation authorize the issuance of
20,000,000 shares of Common Stock $0.001 par value. Each record holder of
Common Stock is entitled to one vote for each share held on all matters
properly submitted to the stockholders for their vote. Cumulative voting for
the election of directors is not permitted by the Articles of Incorporation.
Holders of outstanding shares of Common Stock are entitled to such
dividends as may be declared from time to time by the Board of Directors out
of legally available funds; and, in the event of liquidation, dissolution or
winding up of the affairs of the Company, holders are entitled to receive,
ratably, the net assets of the Company available to stockholders after
distribution is made to the preferred stockholders, if any, who are given
preferred rights upon liquidation. Holders of outstanding shares of Common
Stock have no preemptive, conversion or redemptive rights. All of the issued
and outstanding shares of Common Stock are, and all unissued shares when
offered and sold will be, duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid, and
non-assessable. To the extent that additional shares of the Company's Common
Stock are issued, the relative interests of then existing stockholders may be
diluted.
16
<PAGE>
Preferred Stock
- - --------------
The Company's Articles of Incorporation authorize the issuance of
5,000,000 shares of preferred stock at $0.001 per value. The Board of
Directors of the Company is authorized to issue the preferred stock from time
to time in classes and series and is further authorized to establish such
classes and series, to fix and determine the variations in the relative rights
and preferences as between series, to fix voting rights, if any, for each
class or series, and to allow for the conversion of preferred stock into
Common Stock. No Preferred Stock has been issued by the Company. Preferred
Stock may be utilized in making acquisitions or reorganizations.
Shareholders
- - -----------
Each shareholder has sole investment power and sole voting power over the
shares owned by such shareholder. No shareholder has entered into or
delivered any lock up agreement or letter agreement regarding their shares or
options thereon.
Transfer Agent
- - -------------
The Company currently performs its own securities transfers.
Reports to Stockholders
- - ----------------------
The Company plans to furnish its stockholders with an annual report for
each fiscal year containing financial statements audited by its independent
certified public accountants. In the event the Company enters into a business
combination with another company, it is the present intention of management to
continue furnishing annual reports to stockholders. The Company intends to
comply with the periodic reporting requirements of the Securities Exchange Act
of 1934 for so long as it is subject to those requirements, and to file
unaudited quarterly reports and annual reports with audited financial
statements as required by the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.
PART II
- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Item 1. Market Price and Dividends on the Registrant's Common Equity and
Other Shareholder Matters
- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
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. There
were approximately nine (9) holders of record of the Company's common stock on
April 1, 2000. No dividends have been paid to date and the Company's Board of
Directors does not anticipate paying dividends in the foreseeable future.
17
<PAGE>
- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Item 2. Legal Proceedings
- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Company is not a party to any pending legal proceedings, and no such
proceedings are known to be contemplated.
No director, officer or affiliate of the Company, and no owner of record
or beneficial owner of more than 5.0% of the securities of the Company, or any
associate of any such director, officer or security holder is a party adverse
to the Company or has a material interest adverse to the Company in reference
to any litigation.
- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Item 3. Changes in and Disagreements with Accountants
- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Not applicable.
- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Item 4. Recent Sales of Unregistered Securities.
- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Since November 19, 1997 (the date of the Company's formation), the
Company has sold its Common Stock to the persons listed in the table below in
transactions summarized as follows:
DATE OF PURCHASE PRICE
PURCHASER PURCHASE PER SHARE SHARES
- ----------------- -------------- --------------- ----------
Tammy Gehring (1) Nov. 23, 1997 $0.001 1,000,000
Tyson Schiff (1) Nov. 23, 1997 $0.001 100,000
(1) Sold for services.
All of the listed sales were made in reliance upon the exemption from
registration offered by Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as
amended. The Company had reasonable grounds to believe immediately prior to
making an offer to the private investors, and did in fact believe, that such
purchasers (1) were purchasing for investment and not with a view to
distribution, and (2) had such knowledge and experience in financial and
business matters that they were capable of evaluating the merits and risks of
their investment and were able to bear those risks. The purchasers had access
to pertinent information enabling them to ask informed questions. The shares
were issued without the benefit of registration. At the time of issuance, an
appropriate restrictive legend was imprinted upon each of the certificates
representing such shares, and stop-transfer instructions would have been
entered in the Company's transfer records at the time of their issuance. All
such sales were effected without the aid of underwriters, and no sales
commissions were paid.
18
<PAGE>
- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Item 5. Indemnification of Directors and Officers
- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
As permitted by Nevada Statutes, the Company may indemnify its directors
and officers against expenses and liabilities they incur to defend, settle, or
satisfy any civil or criminal action brought against them on account of their
being or having been Company directors or officers unless, in any such action,
they are adjudged to have acted with gross negligence or willful misconduct.
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of
1933 may be permitted to directors, officers or persons controlling the
Company pursuant to the foregoing provisions, the Company has been informed
that, in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission, such
indemnification is against public policy as expressed in that Act and is,
therefore, unenforceable.
PART F/S
Filed herewith are the Company's audited financial statements for the
periods from inception on November 19, 1997 through December 31, 1997 and
December 31, 1999 and for the calender years ended December 31, 1999 and
1998. Also filed herewith are the Company's unaudited financial statements
for the three months ended March 31, 2000 and 1999 and from inception on

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT
Board of Directors
TEQ-1 CORPORATION
Salt Lake City, Utah
We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of TEQ-1 Corporation [a
development stage company] at December 31, 1999 and 1998, and the related
statements of operations, stockholders' (deficit) and cash flows for the years
ended December 31, 1999 and 1998 and for the periods from inception on
November 19, 1997 through December 31, 1997 and 1999. These financial
statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our
responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on
our audit.
We conducted our audit in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits 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. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis
for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements audited by us present fairly, in all
material respects, the financial position of TEQ-1 Corporation [a development
stage company] as of December 31, 1999 and 1998, and the results of its
operations and its cash flows for the years ended December 31, 1999 and 1998
and for the periods from inception on November 19, 1997 through December 31,
1997 and 1999, 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 incurred losses since its inception and has not
yet been successful in establishing profitable operations, raising substantial
doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Management's plans in
regards to these matters are also described in Note 5. The financial
statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome
of these uncertainties.

TEQ - 1 CORPORATION
[A Development Stage Company]
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Organization - TEQ-1 Corporation (the Company) was organized under the laws of
the State of Nevada on November 19, 1997. The Company has not commenced
planned principal operations and is considered a development stage company as
defined in SFAS No. 7. The Company is seeking potential business ventures.
The Company has, at the present time, 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.
Organization Costs - Organization costs, which reflect amounts expended to
organize the Company, amounted to $1,100 and were expensed during the period
ended December 31, 1997.
Loss Per Share - The computation of loss per share is based on the weighted
average number of shares outstanding during the period presented in accordance
with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 128, "Earnings Per
Share". [See Note 6]
Cash and Cash Equivalents - For purposes of the financial statements, the
Company considers all highly liquid debt investments purchased with a maturity
of three months or less to be cash equivalents.
Accounting 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, the disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date
of the financial statements, and the reported amount of revenues and expenses
during the reported period. Actual results could differ from those estimated.
Recently Enacted Accounting Standards - Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards (SFAS) No. 132, "Employer's Disclosure about Pensions and Other
Postretirement Benefits", SFAS No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments
and Hedging Activities", SFAS No. 134, "Accounting for Mortgage-Backed
Securities...", SFAS No. 135, "Rescission of FASB Statement No. 75 and
Technical Corrections", SFAS No. 136, "Transfers of Assets to a not for profit
organization or charitable trust that raises or holds contributions for
others", and SFAS No. 137, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging
Activities - deferral of the effective date of FASB statement No. 133 ( an
amendment of FASB Statement No. 133.)," were recently issued. SFAS No. 132,
133, 134, 135, 136 and 137 have no current applicability to the Company or
their effect on the financial statements would not have been significant.
NOTE 2 - CAPITAL STOCK
Common Stock - During November 19, 1997, in connection with its organization,
the Company issued 1,100,000 shares of its previously authorized, but unissued
common stock. The shares were issued for services rendered at $1,100 (or

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE 3 - INCOME TAXES
The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 109 "Accounting for Income Taxes". FASB
109 requires the Company to provide a net deferred tax asset/liability equal
to the expected future tax benefit/expense of temporary reporting differences
between book and tax accounting methods and any available operating loss or
tax credit carryforwards.
The Company has available at December 31, 1999, unused operating loss
carryforwards of approximately $1,800 which may be applied against future
taxable income and which expire in various years from 2017 through 2019. The
amount of and ultimate realization of the benefits from the operating loss
carryforwards for income tax purposes is dependent, in part, upon the tax laws
in effect, the future earnings of the Company, and other future events, the
effects of which cannot be determined. Because of the uncertainty surrounding
the realization of the loss carryforwards the Company has established a
valuation allowance equal to the amount of the loss carryforwards and,
therefore, no deferred tax asset has been recognized for the loss
carryforwards. The net deferred tax assets are approximately $600 and $500 as
of December 31, 1999 and 1998, respectively, with an offsetting valuation
allowance at each year end of the same amount resulting in a change in the
valuation allowance of approximately $100 during 1999.
NOTE 4 - RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
Management Compensation - As of December 1999, the Company has not paid any
compensation to any officer/director of the Company.
Office Space - The Company has not had a need to rent office space. An
officer/shareholder of the Company is allowing the Company to use her office
as a mailing address, as needed, at no expense to the Company.
Notes Payable - As of December 31, 1999, an officer/shareholder of the Company
advanced $635 to the Company. The note is payable upon demand and accrues
interest at 10% per annum. Accrued interest amounted to $116 at December 31,
1999.
NOTE 5 - GOING CONCERN
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles, which contemplate continuation of
the Company as a going concern. However, the Company has incurred losses
since its inception and has not yet been successful in establishing profitable
operations. These factors raise substantial doubt about the ability of the
Company to continue as a going concern. In this regard, management is
proposing to raise any necessary additional funds not provided by operations
through loans or through additional sales of its common stock. There is no
assurance that the Company will be successful in raising this additional
capital or achieving profitable operations. The financial statements do not
include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of these
uncertainties.

A. The Corporation shall indemnify its officers and directors for any
liability including reasonable costs of defense arising out of any act or
omission of any officer or director on behalf of the Corporation to the full
extent allowed by the laws of the State of Nevada, if the officer or director
acted in good faith and in a manner the officer or director reasonably
believed to be in, or not opposed to, the best interests of the Corporation,
and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable
cause to believe the conduct was unlawful.
B. Any indemnification under this section (unless ordered by a court) shall
be made by the Corporation only as authorized in the specific case upon a
determination that indemnification of the director or officer is proper in the
circumstances because the officer or director has met the applicable standard
of conduct. Such determination shall be made by the Board of Directors by a
majority vote of a quorum consisting of Directors who were not parties to such
action, suit, or proceeding, or, regardless of whether or not such a quorum is
obtainable and a quorum of disinterested Directors so directs, by independent
legal counsel in a written opinion, or by the stockholders.
