C. BUSINESS
-----------
(a) Castpro.com, is a development stage company which started the
business in March of 1999, of producing digital, live on-location webcasts, for
immediate and/or delayed broadcast utilizing high quality equipment, and new
digital technology to transfer streaming data both over the net and through
other video feed mediums.
Webcasting is a broadcast via the Internet, consisting of audio, video,
still images, and/or text streamed over the Internet.
DVD and HDTV are a form of streaming media, and in the future,
television, radio, and movies are expected to be streamed over the Internet.
Utilizing the Internet, prerecorded or live performances and interviews can be
accompanied by powerful user interaction such as real time viewer chat sessions,
polling, hyperlinks to external web sites/e-commerce, and extensive information
about the performance, its participants, and sponsors/advertising.
Broadcasting on the web can be targeted to either the general public
worldwide, or to tightly controlled audiences utilizing passwords, depending
upon particular client requirements. Webcasting utilizes streaming technologies
that allow users to experience audio and visual on the Internet without the need
to download files. This allows the media to be experienced in real-time, either
live or on-demand by the user.
CastPro.com offers complete audio-visual digital production, editing,
encoding and broadcast services that utilize Remote Webcast Technology to stream
wireless online broadcasts from remote locations. CastPro.com utilizes specially
designed trucks that are outfitted with hi-tech equipment, including digital
microwave and satellite wireless capabilities. This allows the Company to
broadcast live to the Internet from remote locations. CastPro.com can provide
onsite service to corporate and entertainment clients and allow the client to
'stream' or broadcast an event, speech, or training session to the Internet
immediately.
CastPro.com intends to specialize in the live streaming media
production of concerts, trade shows, breaking news events, interviews, social
activities, sporting events and movie premiers.
It also intends to produce streaming media production for business
related events, such as shareholder meetings, press releases and earnings
announcements, product launches and training sessions.
These events will be first captured on-site by CastPro.com using
quality digital production equipment, professionally edited live, then encoded
and
3
<PAGE>
streamed wirelessly to servers which distribute the stream to the Internet. The
event can be broadcast simultaneously locally and/or internationally to multiple
viewers on the Internet.
Because the Company only commenced its web cast business in March of
1999, and its actual services to date has been in the areas of live web casting,
encoding and non-live productions, the following discussion is primarily
prospective and discusses what the Company's management plans to do. There is no
assurance that the Company will be successful in entering management's targeted
markets, providing the planned services, doing so in a manner that generates
profits, or that the Company will be able to locate sufficient capital, or on
reasonable terms, or that its services will prove profitable.
(b) Projected Sources or Revenues. CastPro.com has identified
these future revenue producing activities associated with its services:
* Pre-Production - The Company creates preview clips for the
beginning of live digital streams, as well as original content
for inserts and commercials during live broadcast.
* Connectivity (Wireless) Solutions - The Company establishes
connectivity to the Internet for temporary events. Using their

4
<PAGE>
This will allow the stream to be seen within a typical web
page, the surrounding space will be used for company artwork
hyperlinks, and advertisements. Incorporating a webcast into a
company's website, provides seamless viewing of the live
event. CastPro.com offers interactivity that incorporates live
chat sessions as well as advertising, hyperlinks,
merchandising and security access codes along with video/audio
streaming.
* Live webcasting - Encoding and broadcasting to the Internet-
Includes secure broadcasting for corporate communications.
Professional productions, live events and broadcasting to the
Internet.
* Pre-Production - A preview clip is a 30-second audio/visual
introduction that occurs at the beginning of a live webcast
and consists of integrating client's artwork, production
material, advertisements and credits into the webcast,
organizing chat programs, and creative direction. CastPro.com
will organize this stage to be completed before the live
webcasting event begins. Prepared at CastPro.com's facility,
pre-production will include the creation of preview clips,
inserts and commercials, web design and event specific online
marketing.

time. Participation in a webcast may require some downloading
of helper applications (plug-ins), Private or pay-for-view
offerings require that viewers provide their user name and
password and will be available 24 hours, 7 days a week for

(c) Markets. The Company has defined two target markets, (i) large
multi-state Business Enterprises, and (ii) the Entertainment Industry. In both
of these markets, management believes it can present cost savings, benefit and
convenience to its clients, because of CastPro.com's low costs and its ability
to be on location with wireless broadcast capabilities. Utilizing the Company's
services, Clients are given the opportunity to reach a worldwide audience over
the Internet with a specific message tailored for effect.

6
<PAGE>
Management is endeavoring to develop industry alliances with large
network distributors, news and entertainment broadcasters and entertainment
portals, in order to establish its business and build a customer base. However
there are no assurances such alliances will be secured.
(d) Distribution of Webcasts. The delivery of a live webcast will
depend on the number of simultaneous users that are expected to view the final
product. For less than 200 viewers, the Company will handle its own delivery of
the webcast through its distribution network. For more than 200 simultaneous
viewers, the Company will transmit the webcast from its facility to a third
party distribution network. The Company plans to partner with several
distribution networks in order to provide the best delivery solutions for its
clients. Products will be shown over local and national channels or networks.
The Company will use existing network distributors that are experienced in
providing global quality services for cable television, entertainment
broadcasting as well as Internet portals. These arrangements with distribution
networks will complement the company's focus on webcast production.
(e) Organization. CastPro.com has split its service categories into
four types: Special Events/Conventions, Corporate and Government Solutions,
Creative Internet Programming and temporary on-location connectivity.
Corporate and Government Solutions
----------------------------------
This service category will offer to create solutions for corporations
in the areas of live press releases, conferencing, remote training,
product/technology demonstrations, Internet marketing campaigns, convention
booth and speaker coverage, sales materials, crisis communications, and investor
and public relations.
Special Events / Conventions
----------------------------
This service category will be staffed with production teams ready to
capture events such as concerts, seminars, conventions, sporting events, gala
parties and promotional events. Its technical capabilities will allow for
creative coverage, including mobile coverage and broadcasting from multiple
locations simultaneously.
As part of this service category, CastPro.com can help clients create
"live on the street" marketing campaigns by means of these mobile production
teams which will then be made available to broadcast live anytime.
7
<PAGE>
Creative Internet Programming
-----------------------------
This service category will provide technical capabilities in remote
webcasting, thereby offering dynamic live content to film and television
studios, cable companies, Internet entertainment portals, and others interested
in expanding to Internet programming.
Temporary on-location connectivity
----------------------------------
This service category offers through mobile units and wireless
technology, temporary and immediate broadband connectivity to the Internet. From
remote broadcasting to establishing an emergency up-link, this service category
allows CastPro.com to provide a quick and affordable communication solution for
its clients.
(f) Competition
-----------
CastPro.com's Remote Webcast Technology enables the Company to produce
cost effective, live on-location webcasts. To date, only a few companies
specialize in live media and webcasting production. Management believes that
those that offer remote streaming production services are expensive due to
equipment, crew availability and transmission requirements.
Some companies producing live broadcasts require the use of an ISDN
line to transfer a Webcast to their server, often requiring a two-week period
for the line installation prior to the webcast. Others transmit the broadcast
via satellite, requiring a substantial investment in satellite communications
technology and equipment or paying high user fees for the access to a third
party's satellite communications network. These high-end services, while often
excellent, are vulnerable to competition from more economical services that
deliver the same quality of product. Further, many companies take weeks to set
up real-time event transmission. Equipment is typically bulky and can be hard to
place in the space available.
The singular feature that differentiates CastPro.com from its
competitors is the use of Mobile Production Units that propel the Company from
being one of several to offer digital production to being one that currently
offers live wireless production, editing and streaming in a full service,
seamless operation. However, a well capitalized competitor could easily
duplicate the Company's equipment and plan of business, and there are no
barriers to competition.
(g) Equipment and Technology.
CastPro.com's two Mobile Production Units (outfitted trucks) are able
to uplink directly from the production location to the Internet. Each truck
costs approximately $500,000 to build and equip.
8
<PAGE>
The Mobile Production Units are similar to a custom built mobile
recording studio. The trucks come equipped with wireless capability, allowing
them to broadcast live within a 20-60-mile line of sight from a hosting facility
or repeater antenna, even while in motion. The Mobile Production Unit is
equipped with the digital production equipment mounted to the walls of the
truck. Inside the vehicle there is sufficient room for two technicians to
operate the live broadcast. One Mobile Production Unit is required for each live
event.
The Company maintains its own website, which includes current and
up-to-date information about the Company, archives and examples of past webcast
available for viewing on demand and contact information.
(h) Employees
---------
The Company currently has 9 employees and hires part time staff as
needed.

Management's Discussion and Analysis of
---------------------------------------
Financial Condition and Results of Operation
--------------------------------------------
1. Results of Operations
Fiscal Year Ended December 31, 1999
- -----------------------------------
The Company was in a startup mode and had no revenues through December
31, 1999. Expenses totaled $298,250 for this period, resulting in a loss from
operations of $(298,250). Management believes that expenses will exceed revenues
for the foreseeable future.
Quarter Ended March 31, 1999
- ----------------------------
Revenues totaled $0 for the quarter ended March 31, 2000, while
expenses totaled $228,493 for the quarter, leaving a loss from operations of
$(228,493).
2. Liquidity and Capital Resources
- -----------------------------------
The Company's management recognizes the Company's urgent need to raise
additional cash in order to increase working capital, purchase additional
equipment, expand its staff, and thereby increase the number of events it can
broadcast each year, with a resulting increase in revenues.
Management is planning to raise additional working capital through the
private sale of the Company's Common Stock. However, the availability of such
capital, and the terms for sale of its Common Stock are uncertain at this time,
and there is no assurance the Company will be able to raise additional capital
and continue its operations, or that the terms for any such capital will be
commercially reasonable.
Forward Looking Statement
- -------------------------
The above paragraphs and other parts of this Form 10SB Registration
Statement include "Forward Looking Statements". All statements other than
statements of historical fact included herein, including any statements with
respect to sales forecast, future product acceptance or other future matters,
are Forward Looking Statements.
10
<PAGE>
Although the Company believes that there is a reasonable basis for the
projections reflected in such Forward Looking Statements, it can give no
assurance that such expectations will prove to be correct. Certain of the
important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially and
negatively from the Company's expectations, among others, include the condition
of the economy, the emergence and acceptance of new streaming technology and
webcasts the entry of other and perhaps better capitalized companies into the
business, and/or an inability of CastPro to obtain sufficient working capital.

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 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 consolidated financial statements referred to above present
fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of CASTPRO.COM, Inc.
and Subsidiary as of December 31, 1999, and the results of its operations and
its cash flows for the period January 12, 1999 (Date of Inception) to December
31, 1999, in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

Formation and Description of Business
-------------------------------------
Quinntal, International, LLC (California Incorporated) was formed on January
12, 1999. The LLC changed its name to CASTPRO.COM, LLC on August 6, 1999.
Effective December 31, 1999 the shareholders of LLC exchange 400 shares of
LLC (representing 100% of all shares) for 8,000,000 shares of Deep Earth,
Inc. formerly Engineering Services, Inc. (a Nevada corporation). At the time
of the business combination Deep Earth, Inc. was an active public shell and
had no assets or liabilities. Since the former controlling shareholders of
the LLC controlled Deep Earth, Inc. after the business combination, the
transaction has been accounted for as a reverse acquisition. Immediately
prior to the business combination, Deep Earth, Inc. had 388,500 shares
outstanding. Simultaneous with the closing of the business combination,
$825,000 of related party debt was exchanged for 825,000 shares of common
stock of CASTPRO.COM, INC. Deep Earth, Inc. changed its name to CASTPRO.COM,
INC. on December 31, 1999. CASTPRO.COM, INC. is a provider of live,
on-location digital webcast productions for corporations and major event
marketeers. The Company specializes in streaming media production of
concerts, tradeshows, interviews, sporting events and movie premiers. The
Company also produces streaming media for key business-related events such
as shareholders meetings, press release and earnings announcements, product
launches and training sessions. The Company is a development stage company
and has not as yet generated any revenues.
Principles of Consolidation

INC. and its wholly owned subsidiary CASTPRO.COM, LLC. All significant

investments with a maturity of three months or less when purchased. There

to December 31, 1999.
Use of Estimates
----------------
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and
assumptions that affect the amounts reported in financial statements and
accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Issuance of Shares for Service
------------------------------

of the services performed.
