for bowling alleys as well as individual purchasers.

offering price will be .50 per share. We are also registering for sale 2,525,000
shares on behalf of selling security-holders. Included in the selling
security-holders are the officers and directors who are registering 2,250,000
shares for sale. No market currently exists for our shares and there is no

Risk Factors
An investment in J.T. Bowling involved risks due in part to a limited previous
financial and operating history of Company, as well as competition in the
Bowling industry. Also, certain potential conflicts of interest arise due to the
relationship of J.T. Bowling to management and others. See "Risk Factors."
RISK FACTORS
THE SECURITIES OFFERED HEREBY ARE HIGHLY SPECULATIVE IN NATURE AND INVOLVE A
HIGH DEGREE OF RISK. THEY SHOULD BE PURCHASED ONLY BY PERSONS WHO CAN AFFORD TO
LOSE THEIR ENTIRE INVESTMENT. THEREFORE, EACH PROSPECTIVE INVESTOR SHOULD, PRIOR
TO PURCHASE, CONSIDER VERY CAREFULLY THE FOLLOWING RISK FACTORS AMONG OTHER
THINGS, AS WELL AS ALL OTHER INFORMATION SET FORTH IN THIS PROSPECTUS.
The president and 37% shareholder is attempting to sell 750,000 shares which
represents 25% of his position.
The president and 37% shareholder Mr. David R. Clifton is registering 750,000
shares for sale. If a trading market ever is developed and Mr. Clifton registers
all of his shares for sale in this registered offering, he will be subject to
limitations of Rule 144, including its volume limitations in the sale of his
shares. The timing of such sales and the price at which the shares are sold by
the selling security holder could have an adverse effect upon the public market
for the common stock, should one develop. Mr. Clifton will only be allowed to
offer shares for sale after the minimum offering amount of $20,000 has been met.
The secretary and 28% shareholder is attempting to sell 750,000 shares which
represents 33.33% of his position.
The secretary and 28% shareholder Mr. Kevin J. Krickbaum is registering 750,000
shares for sale. If a trading market ever is developed and Mr. Krickbaum
registers all of his shares for sale in this registered offering, he will be
subject to limitations of Rule 144, including its volume limitations in the sale
of his shares. The timing of such sales and the price at which the shares are
sold by the selling security holder could have an adverse effect upon the public
market for the common stock, should one develop. Mr. Krickbaum will only be
allowed to offer shares for sale after the minimum offering amount of $20,000
has been met.
A director and 28% shareholder is attempting to sell 750,000 shares which
represents 33.33% of his position.
The director and 28% shareholder Mr. Calvin K. Mees, is registering 750,000
shares for sale. If a trading market ever is developed and Mr. Mees registers
all of his shares for sale in this registered offering, he will be subject to
limitations of Rule 144, including its volume limitations in the sale of his
shares. The timing of such sales and the price at which the shares are sold by
the selling security holder could have an adverse effect upon the public market
for the common stock, should one develop. Mr. Mees will only be allowed to offer
shares for sale after the minimum offering amount of $20,000 has been met.
Limited experience of management
The management has limited experience in relation to the bowling and marketing
industry. There is no guarantee that management will have the ability to be
successful in starting and managing an onging business. Because of the lack of
experience of management there is a possibility you may lose your entire
investment. In addition, all decisions with respect to the management of J.T.
Bowling will be made exclusively by the officers and directors of the Company.
Investors will only have rights associated with minority ownership interest
rights to make decision which effect J.T. Bowling. The success of J.T. Bowling ,
to a large extent, will depend on the quality of the directors and officers J.T.
Bowling can attract. Accordingly, no person should invest in the Shares unless
he is willing to entrust all aspects of the management to the officers and
directors of J.T. Bowling. At present J.T. Bowling does not have key man life
insurance. If a catastrophic event were to occur to either officer or director
of J.T. Bowling it will have an adverse effect on it's business.
Limited prior operations.
The Company has no revenues from its operations, and has minimal assets. There
can be no assurance that J.T. Bowling will generate significant revenues in the
future; and there can be no assurance that J.T. Bowling will operate at a
profitable level. See "Description of Business." If the Company is unable to
obtain customers and generate sufficient revenues so that it can profitably
operate, J.T. Bowling 's business will not succeed. In such event, investors in
the Shares may lose their entire cash investment.
Lack of product diversification; dependence on the bowling industry.
The company only has one product, Thom's Thum insert. The company is also
relying on the acceptance by the bowling community for acceptance of its single
product. If the bowling community does not accept it's product there is a great
possibility you could lose your entire investment.
Regulatory factors.
Existing and possible future consumer legislation, regulations and actions could
cause additional expense, capital expenditures, restrictions and delays in the
activities undertaken in connection with the business, the extent of which
cannot be predicted.
Competition.
J.T. Bowling may experience substantial competition in its efforts to locate and
attract clients. Many competitors in the industry such as Contour Power Grip,
Turbo 2-N-1 and Vise Grips, have greater experience, resources, and managerial
capabilities than J.T. Bowling and may be in a better position than J.T. Bowling
to obtain access to attractive clientele. In light of the larger competitors and
the greater resources which gives them the ability to provide marketing,
personnel there is a possibility that it will have an adverse effect on the
business of J.T. Bowling.
Use of proceeds not specific.
The proceeds of this offering have been allocated only generally. Proceeds from
the offering have been allocated generally to legal and accounting, and working
capital. Accordingly, investors will entrust their funds with management in
whose judgment investors may depend, with only limited information about
management's specific intentions with respect to a significant amount of the
proceeds of this offering. See "Use of Proceeds."
Lack of diversification.
The size of J.T. Bowling makes it unlikely that J.T. Bowling will be able to
commit its funds to diversify the business until it has a proven track record,
and J.T. Bowling may not be able to achieve the same level of diversification as
larger entities engaged in this type of business. Relying on one main focus of
business could cause J.T. Bowling to cease operations if it cannot attain a
sufficient client base.
Absence of cash dividends
The Board of Directors does not anticipate paying cash dividends on the Shares
for the foreseeable future and intends to retain any future earnings to finance
the growth of the Company's business. Payment of dividends, if any, will depend,
among other factors, on earnings, capital requirements, and the general
operating and financial condition of J.T. Bowling, and will be subject to legal
limitations on the payment of dividends out of paid-in capital.
Conflicts of interest.
The officers and directors may have other interests to which they devote
substantial time, either individually or through partnerships and corporations
in which they have an interest, hold an office, or serve on boards of directors,
and each will continue to do so notwithstanding the fact that management time
may be necessary to the business of J.T. Bowling. As a result, certain conflicts
of interest may exist between J.T. Bowling and its officers and/or directors
which may not be susceptible to resolution.
In addition, conflicts of interest may arise in the area of corporate
opportunities which cannot be resolved through arm's length negotiations. All of
the potential conflicts of interest will be resolved only through exercise by
the directors of such judgment as is consistent with their fiduciary duties to
J.T. Bowling. It is the intention of management, so as to minimize any potential
conflicts of interest, to present first to the Board of Directors to J.T.
Bowling, any proposed investments for its evaluation.
Our independent auditor has expressed doubts about our ability to continue as a
going concern
We are a Development Stage Company as defined in Financial Accounting Standards
Board Statement No. 7. We are devoting substantially all of our present efforts
in establishing a new business and, although planned principal operations have
commenced, there have been no significant revenues. Our plans regarding the
matters which raise doubts about our ability to continue as a going concern are
disclosed in Notes to the financial statements. These factors raise substantial
doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. The consolidated
financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the
outcome of this uncertainty.
Additional financing may be required
Even if all of the 200,000 Shares offered to the public are sold, the funds
available to J.T. Bowling may not be adequate for it to be competitive in the
areas in which it intends to operate. See "Plan of Distribution." There is no
assurance that additional funds will be available from any source when needed by
J.T. Bowling for expansion; and, if not available, J.T. Bowling may not be able
to expand its operation as rapidly as it could if such financing were available.
The proceeds from this offering are expected to be sufficient for J.T. Bowling
to develop and market it's line of services. Additional financing could possibly
come in the form of debt/preferred stock. If additional shares were issued to
obtain financing, investors in this offering would suffer a dilutive effect on
their percentage of stock ownership in J.T. Bowling. However, the book value of
their shares would not be diluted, provided additional shares are sold at a
price greater than that paid by investors in this offering. J.T. Bowling does
not anticipate having within the next 12 months any cash flow or liquidity
problems
No assurance shares will be sold.
The 200,000 Shares being offered to the public are to be offered directly by
J.T. Bowling, and no individual, firm, or corporation has agreed to purchase or
take down any of the shares. No assurance can be given that any or all of the
Shares will be sold.
A public market may not develop for J.T. Bowling's common stock
A public trading market for J.T. Bowling's common stock may not develop or if
developed may not be sustained. Furthermore, if for any reason the common stock
is not listed on the OTC Bulletin Board maintained by Nasdaq or a public trading
market does not otherwise develop, purchasers of the shares may have difficulty
selling their common stock should they desire to do so.
Shares eligible for future sale
All of the Shares which are held by management have been issued in reliance on
the private placement exemption under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended
("Act"). Such Shares will not be available for sale in the open market without
separate registration except in reliance upon Rule 144 under the Act. In
general, under Rule 144 a person (or persons whose shares are aggregated) who
has beneficially owned shares acquired in a nonpublic transaction for at least
on year, including persons who may be deemed Affiliates of J.T. Bowling (as that
term is defined under the Act) would be entitled to sell within any three-month
period a number of shares that does not exceed the greater of 1% of the then
outstanding shares of common stock, or the average weekly reported trading
volume on all national securities exchanges and through NASDAQ during the four
calendar weeks preceding such sale, provided that certain current public
information is then available. If a substantial number of the Shares owned by
management were sold pursuant to Rule 144 or a registered offering, the market
price of the Common Stock could be adversely affected.
USE OF PROCEEDS
Following the issuance of the minimum of 40,000 Shares or a maximum of 200,000
of common stock offered for sale by J.T. Bowling to the public, this will
represent net proceeds to J.T. Bowling of approximately $6,200 (after deducting
certain expenses of this offering) and $86,200 maximum. These proceeds will be
used to provide capital for the further development and marketing of its
product, allow J.T. Bowling to develop strategic alliances and provide working
capital and manage liquidity needs.
The following table sets forth the use of proceeds from this offering (based on
the minimum and maximum offering amounts):

but not limited to, general working capital and/or external financing. The net

interest or non-interest bearing accounts, or invested in government

Shares, the opportunity to ask questions and receive answers from J.T. Bowling

DETERMINATION OF OFFERING PRICE
The offering price is not based upon J.T. Bowling 's net worth, total asset
value, or any other objective measure of value based upon accounting
measurements.
DILUTION
Our net tangible book value as of May 31, 2000 was $80,000.00 or .01 per share.
Our net Tangible book value per share is determined by subtracting the total
amount of our liabilities from the total amount of tangible assets and dividing
by the amount of shares outstanding before the offering.
The adjusted pro forma book net tangible book value after this offering will be
$0.022 based on an assumed initial public offering price of $0.50 per share.
Therefore, purchasers of shares of common stock in this offering will realize
immediate dilution of $0.21 cents per share or over 95.45% of their investment.
The following table illustrates dilution:

Limited Public Market for Company's Securities.
Prior to the Offering, there has been no public market for the Shares being
offered. There can be no assurance that an active trading market will develop or
that purchasers of the Shares will be able to resell their securities at prices
equal to or greater than the respective initial public offering prices. The
market price of the Shares may be affected significantly by factors such as
announcements by J.T. Bowling or its competitors, variations in J.T. Bowling 's
results of operations, and market conditions in the retail and bowling
industries in general. The market price may also be affected by movements in
prices of stock in general. As a result of these factors, purchasers of the
Shares offered hereby may not be able to liquidate an investment in the Shares
readily or at all.
Penny Stock Regulations.
The Company's Shares will be quoted on the "Electronic Bulletin Board"
maintained by the National Quotation Bureau, Inc., which reports quotations by
brokers or dealers making a market in particular securities. In view of the fact
that no broker will be involved in the Offering, it is likely to be difficult to
find a broker who is willing to make an active market in the stock. The
Securities and Exchange Commission (the "Commission") has adopted regulations
which generally define "penny stock" to be any equity security that has a market
price less than $5.00 per share. J.T. Bowling 's shares will become subject to
rules that impose additional sales practice requirements on broker-dealers who
sell penny stocks to persons other than established customers and accredited
investors (generally those with assets in excess of $1,000,000 or annual income
exceeding $200,000, or $300,000 together with their spouse). For transactions
covered by these rules, broker-dealers must make a special suitability
determination for the purpose of such securities and must have received the
purchaser's written consent to the transaction prior to the purchase.
Additionally, for any transaction effected involving a penny stock, unless
exempt, the rules require the delivery, prior to the transaction, of a
disclosure schedule prepared by the Commission relating to the penny stock
market. A broker-dealer also must disclose the commissions payable to both the
broker-- dealer and the registered representative, and current quotations for
the securities. Finally, monthly statements must be sent disclosing recent price
information for the penny stock held in the account and information on the
limited market in penny stocks. Consequently, these rules may restrict the
ability of broker-dealers to sell J.T. Bowling 's Shares and may affect the
ability of purchasers in the Offering to sell the Company's securities in the
secondary market. There is no assurance that a market will develop for J.T.
Bowling 's Shares.

DESCRIPTION OF SECURITIES
General Description
The securities being offered are shares of common stock. The Articles of
Incorporation authorize the issuance of 100,000,000 shares of common stock, with
a par value of $0.01. The holders of the Shares: (a) have equal ratable rights
to dividends from funds legally available therefore, when, as, and if declared
by the Board of Directors of J.T. Bowling ; (b) are entitled to share ratably in
all of the assets of the Company available for distribution upon winding up of
the affairs of J.T. Bowling ; (c) do not have preemptive subscription or
conversion rights and there are no redemption or sinking fund applicable
thereto; and (d) are entitled to one non-cumulative vote per share on all
matters on which shareholders may vote at all meetings of shareholders. These
securities do not have any of the following rights: (a) cumulative or special
voting rights; (b) preemptive rights to purchase in new issues of Shares; (c)
preference as to dividends or interest; (d) preference upon liquidation; or (e)
any other special rights or preferences. In addition, the Shares are not
convertible into any other security. There are no restrictions on dividends
under any loan other financing arrangements or otherwise. See a copy of the
Articles of Incorporation, and amendments thereto, and Bylaws of J.T. Bowling ,
attached as Exhibit 3.1, Exhibit 3.2, and Exhibit 3.3, respectively, to this
Form SB-2.
Non-Cumulative Voting.
The holders of Shares of Common Stock of J.T. Bowling do not have cumulative
voting rights, which means that the holders of more than 50% of such outstanding
Shares, voting for the election of directors, can elect all of the directors to
be elected, if they so choose. In such event, the holders of the remaining
Shares will not be able to elect any of J.T. Bowling 's directors.
Dividends.
The Company does not currently intend to pay cash dividends. J.T. Bowling 's
proposed dividend policy is to make distributions of its revenues to its
stockholders when J.T. Bowling 's Board of Directors deems such distributions
appropriate. Because J.T. Bowling does not intend to make cash distributions,
potential shareholders would need to sell their shares to realize a return on
their investment. There can be no assurances of the projected values of the
shares, nor can there be any guarantees of the success of J.T. Bowling .
A distribution of revenues will be made only when, in the judgment of J.T.
Bowling 's Board of Directors, it is in the best interest of J.T. Bowling 's
stockholders to do so. The Board of Directors will review, among other things,
the investment quality and marketability of the securities considered for
distribution; the impact of a distribution of the investee's securities on its
customers, joint venture associates, management contracts, other investors,
financial institutions, and the company's internal management, plus the tax
consequences and the market effects of an initial or broader distribution of
such securities.
Possible Anti-Takeover Effects of Authorized but Unissued Stock.
Upon the completion of this Offering, assuming the maximum offering of 200,000
is sold, J.T. Bowling 's authorized but unissued capital stock will consist of
91,800,000 shares of common stock. One effect of the existence of authorized but
unissued capital stock may be to enable the Board of Directors to render more
difficult or to discourage an attempt to obtain control of J.T. Bowling by means
of a merger, tender offer, proxy contest, or otherwise, and thereby to protect
the continuity of the Company's management. If, in the due exercise of its
fiduciary obligations, for example, the Board of Directors were to determine
that a takeover proposal was not in the Company's best interests, such shares
could be issued by the Board of Directors without stockholder approval in one or
more private placements or other transactions that might prevent, or render more
difficult or costly, completion of the takeover transaction by diluting the
voting or other rights of the proposed acquirer or insurgent stockholder or
stockholder group, by creating a substantial voting block in institutional or
other hands that might undertake to support the position of the incumbent Board
of Directors, by effecting an acquisition that might complicate or preclude the
takeover, or otherwise.
Transfer Agent.
The Company has engaged the services of Nevada Agency and Trust Company of Reno,
Nevada to act as transfer agent and registrar.
INTEREST OF NAMED EXPERTS AND COUNSEL
No named expert or counsel was hired on a contingent basis, will receive a
direct or indirect interest in the small business issuer, or was a promoter,
underwriter, voting trustee, director, officer, or employee of the small
business issuer.
DISCLOSURE OF COMMISSION POSITION ON
INDEMNIFICATION FOR SECURITIES ACT LIABILITIES
No director of J.T. Bowling will have personal liability to J.T. Bowling or any
of its stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a
director involving any act or omission of any such director since provisions
have been made in the Articles of Incorporation limiting such liability. The
foregoing provisions shall not eliminate or limit the liability of a director
(i) for any breach of the director's duty of loyalty to J.T. Bowling or its
stockholders, (ii) for acts or omissions not in good faith or, which involve
intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law, (iii) under applicable
Sections of the Delaware Revised Statutes, (iv) the payment of dividends in
violation of Section 78.300 of the Delaware Revised Statutes or, (v) for any
transaction from which the director derived an improper personal benefit.
The By-laws provide for indemnification of the directors, officers, and
employees of J.T. Bowling in most cases for any liability suffered by them or
arising out of their activities as directors, officers, and employees of J.T.
Bowling if they were not engaged in willful misfeasance or malfeasance in the
performance of his or her duties; provided that in the event of a settlement the
indemnification will apply only when the Board of Directors approves such
settlement and reimbursement as being for the best interests of the Corporation.
The Bylaws, therefore, limit the liability of directors to the maximum extent
permitted by Delaware law (Section 78.751).
The officers and directors of J.T. Bowling are accountable to J.T. Bowling as
fiduciaries, which means they are required to exercise good faith and fairness
in all dealings affecting J.T. Bowling . In the event that a shareholder
believes the officers and/or directors have violated their fiduciary duties to
the Company, the shareholder may, subject to applicable rules of civil
procedure, be able to bring a class action or derivative suit to enforce the
shareholder's rights, including rights under certain federal and state
securities laws and regulations to recover damages from and require an
accounting by management.. Shareholders who have suffered losses in connection
with the purchase or sale of their interest in J.T. Bowling in connection with
such sale or purchase, including the misapplication by any such officer or
director of the proceeds from the sale of these securities, may be able to
recover such losses from J.T. Bowling .
The registrant undertakes the following:
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of
1933 (the "Act") may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons
of the small business issuer pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise,
the small business issuer has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities
and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as
expressed in the Act and is, therefore, unenforceable.
DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS
J.T. BOWLING
History and Organization
J.T. Bowling Enterprises was formed as a corporation in September, 1994 in
Cincinnati, Ohio, by Joe Arsenault and Thom Jones in response to the following
market conditions:
o A need for consistency when changing bowling equipment during league or
tournament play, o The ability to change the size of an individual thumb grip
quickly without using tape. o The ability of bowling center personnel to fit a
bowler who uses one of the center's house bowling balls. o To allow a
professional bowling ball driller rot fit a ball without the customer being
present.
In July 1998 the company was reincorporated in Deleware. In March 2000 David R.
Clifton was elected the President in order to guide J.T. Bowling through the
process of going public. Mr. Clifton had been acting as a consultant to J.T.
Bowling and assisting in raising capital since 1997. The Principal office
location of J.T. Bowling is 753 Bandit Trail, Fort Worth TX, 76180. The
telephone number is (817) 577-4726.
THE BUSINESS
Product Description
Our company intends to offer Thom's Thum. This product offers our customers the
best possible solution as it:
o Is the most technically advanced
o Offers more useful features
o Saves them time and money
o Offers our users better value per dollar spent o Provides a service which is
not presently available o Increases profits and return business.
We have a U.S. patent for this product. This patent was issued on April 9, 1996.
Even though at this time our expertise is unique I the marketplace, we expect
advance to be made and competitors to arise and offer similar services. We will
meet this challenge by:
o Being the first in the market thus locking bowlers into using our specific
design in their bowling equipment. o Adding complimentary lines o Make regular
investments in new advertising and promotion.
Objectives
Long Term
We believe very strongly in technical, financial, business and moral
excellence. To secure a stable future for all those connected with Thom's Thumb,
we have set the following long term goals:
o Present market is estimated at $1Billion. Our goal for the market share is
15%.
o We want to be considered by our peers to be the market leader in sales as
evidenced by:
o Trade industry awards
o High end of scale in financial ratios
o Major market share
o Technical excellence (awards, honors, etc.)
o Sponsorship of bowling tournaments, etc.
Short Term
o Market share goals:
First Year: 4% of U.S. Market
Second Year: 10% of U.S. Market and 5% of overseas
Third Year 15% of U.S. Market and 10% of overseas
Fourth Year: 15% of both U.S. and overseas markets
o Maintain costs through acquisition of new plant and equipment.
o Increase productivity by investing in employee training and education
1. Budget for complete computer training for appropriate applications
2. Budget for necessary seminars and/or continuing job-specific education.
Competitors
At the present time, the only other products on the market are non adjustable

Our Competitive Advantages
The distinctive competitive advantages that Thom's Thum brings to this market
are:
o The only product in the market with the ability to change sizes and be used in
all of a bowler's equipment. o Sophistication in manufacturing and distribution.
This results in our having a unique product. o The philosophy of our Company is
to price not just according to our costs, but also according to what the market
will pay. o Our targeted minimum gross profit margin is 66/7% o By pricing to
the market, we will achieve higher sales and therefore increase buying power. As
the amounts of my purchases
increase, our per unit costs of shipping decreases
and we will achieve higher discount levels from our
suppliers. Through these economies of scale, many
items currently on the market can be sold with lower
prices, yet a higher net profit.
o Product pricing will include a range of quantity discounts.
o Rather than being strictly regional, we will expand into the national and
overseas markets. o To control accounts receivable we will sell on a
cash-up-front method as is common in this industry. o A level and policy of
Capitalization that will allow us to fully address the respective markets with
comprehensive marketing
and customer service plans.
o By keeping our overhead low, we will be able to funnel our profits back
into operations thus avoiding high debt ratios or lost sales
opportunities.
o A direct mail campaign directed at both bowlers and pro shops will be
maintained.
o A toll-free national 800 number will be used for customer orders and
inquiries, also an internet site will be established to aid our
customers in ordering.
o We plan to print complete four-color catalogs on a yearly basis. Price
lists will be updated as needed. We intend to be very aggressive in
trade magazine advertising.
o We will attend trade shows to introduce and give demonstrations of the Thom's
Thum insert. o
With this level of capitalization, should an unexpected downturn occur, we
should be able to continue operations on a positive scale.
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The following financial review and analysis is intended to assist prospective
investors in understanding and evaluating the financial condition and results of
operations of J.T. Bowling , for the year ended May 31, 2000. This information
should be read in conjunction with the Company's Financial Statements and
accompanying notes thereto, "Selected Financial Data" and other detailed
information regarding J.T. Bowling appearing elsewhere in this Prospectus.
OVERVIEW
Through our leadership, we will be able to reduce overhead as a percentage of
sales, thereby increasing the amount of profit to be retained in the business.
Because of our pricing policy, more people will purchase our merchandise thus
increasing the size of the market and we will be increasing our market share.
What we propose to use are just good solid business sense, economics of scale,
and the use of efficient financial techniques. This will allow us the following
options:
o Increase service
o Increase advertising
o Reduce prices
o Increase profits
o Increase selection
This plan will give us tremendous flexibility to use any of these options or a
mix of them to effectively attack our target markets and meet our long-term
goals. This combination of experience, sophistication, capitalization and
innovation will assist our company as it strives to reach its sales, profit and
return objectives.
Pricing
Before we set the price for Thom's Thum, we determined on a unit basis what our
costs were going to be. We then determined what the market price was for the
normal insert. At this price it was determined that for all but the lowest sales
projections, this product would turn a profit at this price. However since our
product offers additional features, we felt that we could price it higher than
simple inserts.
To test this price, we attended and participated in a trade show for our
customers. We first questioned them about the desirability of our extra features
and then asked them directly if this price would be acceptable if such a product
were available. We found that 80% of those polled would be interested in this
product.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS:
Limited Operations
J.T. Bowling reported a loss of ($170,545) as of the year ended May 31, 2000 or
a loss of ($0.40) earnings per share. J.T. Bowling Enterprises, Inc. has only
had limited operations and has had no revenues through May 31, 2000 since it's
incorporation. As of the year ended May 31, 2000 J.T. Bowling as been
interviewing proespective manufacturers for the Thom's Thum insert. As soon as a
final manufacturer is secured production of the Thom's Thum ball insert will
begin.
Capital and Liquidity
The current President Mr. David R. Clifton is currently responsible for the
daily operating expenses of J.T. Bowling which are minimal at this point because
of limited activity. J.T. Bowling only asset at this time is the United States
patent of the Thom's Thum bowling ball insert US Patent # 5,505,666. The US.
Patent was awarded April 04, 1996.
Management believes that cash generated from operations is not sufficient to
provide for its capital requirements for at least the next 12 months. J.T.
Bowling may seek additional equity financing in the early part of 2001 through
an offering of its common stock, and contemplate that this offering, before
expenses relating to the offering, will be no less than $2 million and no more
than $4 million.
J.T. Bowling and it's management expects to secure the minimum offering amount
of $20,000 within the first 120 days of the effective date of this offering
without having to exercise the additional 120 day extension.
During the year ended May 31, 2000, there were no cash flows from operating
activities.
J.T. Bowling only asset at this time is the United States patent of the Thom's
Thum bowling ball insert US Patent # 5,505,666. The US. Patent was awarded April
04, 1996.J.T. Bowling Inc. has no other assets at this time. The daily expenses
of J.T. Bowling have been provided by our President and does not appear to have
sufficient working capital because of the reliance on the President of the
Corporation for funds.
RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
In June 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued
Statements of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 133, ACCOUNTING FOR
DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS AND HEDGING ACTIVITIES, which establishes accounting and
reporting standards for derivative instruments and hedging activities. SFAS No.
133 requires recognition of all derivative instruments in the statement of
financial position as either assets or liabilities and the measurement of
derivative instruments at fair value. SFAS No. 133 is effective for fiscal years
beginning after June 15, 1999. The adoption of SFAS No. 133 is not expected to
affect the consolidated financial statements of J.T. Bowling .
MARKET SUMMARY
The focus and purpose is to fulfill a demand in the bowling industry that is not
being met by offering the Thom's Thum insert. The insert will allow the average
bowler to custom fit any bowling ball to fit their hand size allowing more
people to enjoy the spor of bowling. As the Thom's Thum insert is more widely
available the size of the recreational bowling market should gradually increase
over time.
J.T. Bowling Enterprises, Inc., is a company dedicated to assisting bowling
alley owners and individual recreational bowlers through the use of our patented
Thum's Thum bowling ball insert.
Our insert has been designed to be both interchangeable in the same bowling
ball, this allows for changes in a bowler's thumb size (a common occurrence) and
for changes in lane conditions requiring the use of a different ball. This gives
us a tremendous advantage over simple inserts. We will also be able to use our
inserts in bowling center equipment to give recreational bowlers a good fit for
their thumb.
PLAN OF OPERATION
We will be using an injection molding system to produce our product. This will
allow us the most cost effective means of manufacturing our product. As of the
end of May 31, 2000 J.T. Bowling has been interviewing prospective manufacturers
to manufacture the mold and subsequently produce the bowling ball insert. As
soon as the offering is closed we will start marketing our product to bowling
alleys and professionals around the United States. We expect to have the mold
completed and in production by the end of the third quarter September 30, 2000.
The goal over the next 12 months is to have all manufacturing complete and our
product being used in a limited number of markets. If this occurs we expect
revenues to occur by the end of the fourth quarter, December 31, 2000. We intend
to market our inserts through all the normal channels available to simple

TO THE Board of Directors J T Bowling Enterprises Inc.
INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT
I have audited the accompanying balance sheet of J T Bowling Enterprises Inc.
(Company) as of May 31, 2000 and the related statement of operations, statement
of stockholders' equity, and the statement of cash flows for the years ended May
31, 2000, and from July 15, 1998 (inception) to May 31, 2000. These financial
statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. My responsibility
is to express an opinion on these statements based on my audit.
I conducted my audit in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards.
Those standards require that I plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable
assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatement. An audit includes examining on a test basis, evidence supporting
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes
assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by
management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.
I believe that my audit provides a reasonable basis for my opinion.
The Company is a development stage enterprise, as defined in Financial
Accounting Standards Board No. 7. The Company is devoting all of its present
efforts in securing and establishing a new business, and its planned principal
operations have not commenced, and, accordingly, no revenue has been derived
during the organizational period.
In my opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all
material respects, the financial position of the Company as of May 31, 2000 and
the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years then ended in
conformity with generally accepted accounting principles
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the
Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 4 to the
financial statements, the Company has no viable operations to date and little or
no tangible assets that raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as
a going concern. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that
might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

Notes to Financial Statements
Note 1 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Organization
J T Bowling Enterprises Inc. ("the Company") was incorporated under the laws of
the State of Delaware on July 15, 1998 for the purpose to promote and carry on
any lawful business for which a corporation may be incorporated under the laws
of the State of Delaware. The company has a total of 100,000,000 authorized
common shares with a par value of $.01 per share and with 8,000,000 shares
issued and outstanding as of May 31, 2000. On May 5, 2000, an amendment to the
Articles of Incorporation was filed with the Delaware Secretary of State to
increase the authorized common shares to 100,000,000 authorized and 30,000,000
in preferred shares. The Company has been inactive since inception and has
little or no operating revenues and expenses.
Development Stage Enterprise
The Company is a development stage enterprise, as defined in Financial
Accounting Standards Board No. 7. The Company is devoting all of its present
efforts in securing and establishing a new business, and its planned principal
operations have not commenced, and, accordingly, no revenue has been derived
during the organizational period.
Federal Income Tax
The Company has adopted the provisions of Financial Accounting Standards Board
Statement No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes. The Company accounts for income
taxes pursuant to the provisions of the Financial Accounting Standards Board
Statement No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes", which requires an asset and
liability approach to calculating deferred income taxes. The asset and liability
approach requires the recognition of deferred tax liabilities and assets for the
expected future tax consequences of temporary differences between the carrying
amounts and the tax basis of assets and liabilities.
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 reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure on
contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and
the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.
Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Accounting Method
The Company's financial statements are prepared using the
accrual method of accounting. Revenues are recognized when earned and expenses
when incurred. Fixed assets are stated at cost. Depreciation and amortization
using the straight-line method for financial reporting purposes and accelerated
methods for income tax purposes.

Notes to Financial Statements
Note 1 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (con't)
Earnings per Common Share
The Company adopted Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 128, "Earnings Per
Share," which simplifies the computation of earnings per share requiring the
restatement of all prior periods.
Basic earnings per share are computed on the basis of the weighted average
number of common shares outstanding during each year.
Diluted earnings per share are computed on the basis of the weighted average
number of common shares and dilutive securities outstanding. Dilutive securities
having an anti-dilutive effect on diluted earnings per share are excluded from
the calculation.
Comprehensive Income
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 130, "Reporting
Comprehensive Income," establishes standards for reporting and display of
comprehensive income, its components and accumulated balances. Comprehensive
income is defined to include all changes in equity except those resulting from
investments by owners and distributions to owners. Among other disclosures, SFAS
No.130 requires that all items that are required to be recognized under current
accounting standards as components of comprehensive income be reported in a
financial statement that is displayed with the same prominence as other
financial statements. The Company does not have any assets requiring disclosure
of comprehensive income.
Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 131, Disclosures about
Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information, supersedes SFAS No. 14,
"Financial Reporting for Segments of a Business Enterprise." SFAS 131
establishes standards for the way that public companies report information about
operating segments in annual financial statements and requires reporting of
selected information about operating segments in interim financial statements
issued to the public. It also establishes standards for disclosures regarding
products and services, geographic areas and major customers. SFAS 131 defines
operating segments as components of a company about which separate financial
information is available that is evaluated regularly by the chief operating
decision maker in deciding how to allocate resources and in assessing
performance. The Company has evaluated this SFAS and does not believe it is
applicable at this time.
Note 2 - Common Stock
In May of 2000, a total of 7,954,500 shares of stock were issued for consulting
services. The shares were valued at par value ($.01) for a total of $79,545 in
consulting expense. Also, in 1998 and 1999, a private placement produced a total
of $91,000 for 45,500 common shares.

Notes to Financial Statements
Note 3 - Related Parties
There were no significant related party transaction.
Note 4 - Going Concern
The Company has had little or no operations to date, has little or no tangible
assets or financial resources, and incurred losses since inception. These losses
and lack of operations raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to
continue as a going concern.
Note 5 - Income Taxes
Deferred income taxes arise from temporary differences resulting from the
Company's subsidiary utilizing the cash basis of accounting for tax purposes and
the accrual basis for financial reporting purposes. Deferred taxes are
classified as current or non-current, depending on the classification of the
assets and liabilities to which they relate. Deferred taxes arising from timing
differences that are not related to an asset or liability are classified as
current or non-current depending on the periods in which the timing differences
are expected to reverse. The Company's previous principal temporary differences
relate to revenue and expenses accrued for financial purposes, which are not
taxable for financial reporting purposes. The Company's material temporary
differences consist of bad debt expense recorded in the financial statements
that is not deductible for tax purposes and differences in the depreciation
expense calculated for financial statement purposes and tax purposes.
The net deferred tax asset or liability is composed of the following:

EXHIBITS
The Exhibits required by Item 601 of Regulation S-B, and an index thereto, are
attached.
UNDERTAKINGS
The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes to:
(a) (1) File, during any period in which it offers or sells securities, a
post-effective amendment to this registration statement to:
(i) Include any prospectus required by section10(a)(3) of the Securities Act;
(ii) Reflect in the prospectus any facts or events which, individually or
together, represent a fundamental change in the information in the
registration statement; and Notwithstanding the forgoing, any increase or
decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of
securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any
deviation From the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range
may be reflected in the form of prospects filed with the Commission
pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in the volume and
price represent no more than a 20% change in the maximum aggregate offering
price set forth in the "Calculation of Registration Fee" table in the
effective registration statement.
(iii) Include any additional or changed material information on the plan of
distribution.
(2) For determining liability under the Securities Act, treat each
post-effective amendment as a new registration statement of the securities
offered, and the offering of the securities at that time to be the initial
bona fide offering.
(3) File a post-effective amendment to remove from registration any of the
securities that remain unsold at the end of the offering. .
(b) Provide to the underwriter at the closing specified in the underwriting
agreement certificates in such denominations and registered in such names
as required by the underwriter to permit prompt delivery to each purchaser.
(c) Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act
of 1933 (the "Act") may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling
persons of the small business issuer pursuant to the foregoing provisions,
or otherwise, the small business issuer has been advised that in the
opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is
against public policy as expressed in the Act and is, therefore,
unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such
liabilities (other than the payment by the small business issuer of
expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of
the small business issuer in the successful defense of any action, suit or
proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in
connection with the securities being registered, the small business issuer
will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by
controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the
question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as
expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by the final
adjudication of such issue.
