Risk Factors
The following are risk factors which are directly related to our
business, financial condition, and this offering. Investing in our securities
involves a high degree of risk and you should not invest in the securities
offered unless you can afford to lose your entire investment.
Risks related to our financial condition
-----------------------------------------
We have no operating history so it will be difficult for
you to evaluate an investment in our common stock; we
do not know whether we will be able to operate profitably.
We were formed on March 28, 2000, and since that time our business
activities have been limited to amending the Articles of the Corporation on
April 25, 2000 to correct the spelling of "Khan", and contacting companies
that acquire and warehouse inventory from factory overruns and retailers with
overstocks in California. There is no assurance that we will be successful
in acquiring factory overruns or overstock merchandise for sale at discount
prices. It will be more difficult for you to evaluate the investment
potential in a start-up company such as ours than in a company with an
operating history. We do not know whether we will be able to operate
profitably in the business we have chosen to develop. You run the risk of
losing all or part of your investment.
Unless we can raise capital in this offering,
we may be unable to continue in business.
We do not have an established source of revenue sufficient to cover our
operating costs to allow us to continue as a going concern. Our ability to
continue as a going concern is dependent upon our ability to successfully
complete this offering, operate profitably and/or raise additional capital
through other means.
Risks related to our business
------------------------------
Our current officers and directors have minimal experience in
wholesale and retail sales and may not be able to successfully
develop relationships with wholesalers and/or customers; they
may not have sufficient experience to effectively estimate our
product needs, or to market and sell our products at a profit
to us.
Kristine Ramsey, an officer and director, has approximately two years
experience as a merchandiser with Revlon. However, her experience is limited
and she has no experience in discount or overrun merchandise. William Roberts
has approximately one year experience as a sales representative/merchandiser
to retailers for Keebler Corporation. He has no experience in discount or
overrun merchandise. The other officers and directors have no experience in
retail and wholesale sales. Our management's lack of experience could make
them unable to successfully develop relationships with wholesalers and
manufacturers. Lack of experience
<PAGE> 5
could also cause them to make poor decisions on merchandise selection and
inventory; and could make it difficult for them to market and sell our
products effectively. In addition, management may not have correctly estimated
inventory needs for a start up company such as Kubla Khan nor anticipated
purchase prices and resale prices accurately. Even if we succeed in purchasing
inventory at what we believe is a discounted price, we could have difficulty in
reselling the same for prices which would be profitable to us.
The amount of time officers and directors have to devote
to our business is limited which may limit their
ability to successfully develop our business.
The amount of time which our officers and directors will devote to our
business will be limited. They may be unable to devote the time necessary to
fully develop the business due to the fact that they devote time to other
business interests they have. Our president also serves as an officer and
director in other entities engaged in various businesses. Thus, there exists
potential conflicts of interest, including, among other things, time, effort
and corporate opportunity involved with participation in other such business
entities. We have no agreements with our officers and directors as to how
they will allocate either their time to us nor how they will handle corporate
opportunities. At this time, none or our officers and directors are involved
with a business which would benefit from the same type of corporate
opportunity as Kubla Khan, Inc.
We will encounter substantial competition from larger and
more experienced companies.
The discount market for wholesale and retail merchandise is highly
competitive and involves a high degree of risk and there is no assurance that
we will be able to operate profitably. We will be competing with larger,
more experienced, and better funded companies which have already developed
relationships with manufacturers and wholesalers as well as potential
end-users. Due to our lack of experience in the industry and minimal funding,
it may be difficult for us to develop relationships with wholesalers and
manufacturers as well as develop a market niche for any goods or overstocks we
may purchase. We will be competing with other "jobbers" in the purchase of
distressed or overstocked merchandise at discounted prices. We will also be
competing with some of the wholesalers and manufacturers themselves who have
established direct relationships with end users. It will be extremely
difficult for us to compete. We believe that we will be able to compete
successfully only if we succeed in purchasing inventory at 30%-50% off of
normal wholesale costs and are able to successfully establish relationships
with retail end-users. In the retail segment of our business, which will be
minimal, we will experience substantial competition with other entities such
as MacFruggals, All-A-Dollar and Discount Houses in the sale and marketing of
merchandise all of which have greater name recognition and experience. We will
not be able to directly compete with such entities but will either (a) sell
our inventory to them; or (b) direct retail sales efforts through flea markets
and swap meets and expo marts.
<PAGE> 6
Risks related to this offering, our stock price, and corporate control
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Investors are relying on management's discretion in the use of
proceeds from this offering; management's uses of proceeds may
not result in revenues to us.
Investors will be relying on the judgment of our management regarding
the application of a significant portion of the proceeds from this offering.
Investors will rely on management's discretion in identifying merchandise
which may have potential value. If management uses the proceeds of this
offering for purposes which do not result in increasing our revenues, the
value of your investment could be reduced.
The price of the shares in this offering was arbitrarily
determined and our offering price of $1.00 per share
may be too high; the price of our stock in any market
which may develop after our offering could be much lower
than the price you paid for your stock.
If you purchase shares of our common stock in this offering, you will
pay a price that was not established in a competitive market but was
determined arbitrarily by us. The price bears no relationship to our assets,
shareholders' value or any other recognized criteria of value, and it should
not be considered to be an indication of our actual value. The price we
have established may be too high and you may lose all or part of your
investment. In addition, the price of the common stock that will prevail
in any market that develops after the offering may be lower than the price you
paid. The stock market, in general, has been volatile and has experienced
fluctuations that have often been unrelated or disproportionate to the
operating performance of companies like ours. The market price of our common
stock could be volatile and subject to wide fluctuations.
We have no public market for our stock and there is
no assurance one will develop; you may have difficulty
liquidating your investment.
There is no public market for our shares of common stock. Although we
intend to apply for listing on the OTC Bulletin Board as soon a we meet
listing requirements, there is no assurance that we will be granted a listing.
If we are granted a listing, there is no assurance that a market for our
common shares will develop. If a market develops, there can be no assurance
that the price of our shares in the market will be equal to or greater than
the price per share investors pay in this offering; in fact, the price of our
shares in any market that may develop could be significantly lower. Investors
in this offering may have difficulty liquidating their investment.
<PAGE> 7
Our shares may be considered a "penny stock" within the
meaning of Rule 3a-51-1 of the Securities Exchange Act; this
may affect your ability to sell your shares in the secondary
market.
Our shares will be subject to the Penny Stock Reform Act which may
affect your ability to sell your shares in any secondary market which may
develop. If our shares are not listed on a nationally approved exchange or the
NASDAQ, do not meet certain minimum financing requirements, or have a bid
price of at least $5.00 per share, they will likely be defined as a "penny
stock." Broker-dealer practices in connection with transactions in "penny
stocks" are regulated by the SEC. Rules associated with transactions in
penny stocks include the following:
* the delivery of standardized risk disclosure documents;
* the provision of other information such as current bid/offer
quotations, compensation to be provided broker-dealer and
salesperson, monthly accounting for penny stocks held in the
customers account;
* written determination that the penny stock is a suitable investment
for purchaser;
* written agreement to the transaction from purchaser.
These disclosure requirements and the wide fluctuations that "penny
stocks" often experience in the market may make it difficult for you to sell
your shares in any secondary market which may develop. Penny stock rules are
discussed in more detail on page 25 and 26 of this prospectus.
Our officers/ directors and affiliates control a
significant portion of our stock which gives them significant
influence on all matters requiring stock holder approval.
Officers, directors and existing stockholders, whose interests may
differ from other stockholders, will have the ability to exercise significant
control over us. Our officers and directors and entities affiliated with them
will, in the aggregate, beneficially own approximately 33% of our common stock
following this offering in the event the maximum offering is sold,
assuming they do not purchase any of the shares in the offering. These
stockholders will be able to exercise significant influence over all matters
requiring approval by our stockholders, including the election of directors,
the approval of significant corporate transactions, and any change of control
of Kubla Khan, Inc. The interests of our officers and directors may not
necessarily be in the best interests of the shareholders in general.
You will suffer an immediate and substantial dilution to your
investment if you purchase shares in this offering.
Investors purchasing shares in this offering will incur immediate and
substantial dilution in their investments. The initial public offering price
per share will exceed our net tangible book value per share. See "Dilution"
for a calculation of the extent to which your investment will be diluted.
<PAGE> 8
There is no minimum offering and no assurance that the
$75,000 offering amount in this self-underwritten offering
will be sold; failure to receive maximum proceeds could
result in an inability to achieve our minimal business goals
over the next year; although we believe this offering will
meet our needs over the next 12 months, if fully subscribed,
we may require additional sources of financing in the future.
We currently anticipate that the net maximum proceeds from the
offering ($75,000) , together with available funds, will be sufficient
to meet our anticipated needs for at least the next 12 months. The shares are
being sold by the President, William S. (Bill) Roberts, in a self-underwritten
public offering of 75,000 shares. No individual or firm is committed to
purchase or take any of the shares. There is no assurance that any portion of
the shares will be sold. There is no minimum in this offering and no
escrow of funds which are available to us immediately upon receipt. Your
investment will not be returned if we do not raise the full $75,000. If we do
not succeed in achieving proceeds of $75,000, we may not have sufficient funds
to effect our business plan for the next 12 months and we will need to reduce
the amount of inventory we purchase as well as make other adjustments to
our proposed use of proceeds and our business plan. We expect to generate
losses until such time as merchandise from manufacturers or retailers with
overruns are located and product is sold to retailers and wholesalers. Even
assuming maximum proceeds, if we do not succeed in seeing revenues from
operations in the next twelve months, we may require additional funding which
may not be available when needed. If we are able to raise additional funds
and we do so by issuing equity securities, you may experience significant
dilution of your ownership interest and holders of these securities may have
rights senior to those of the holders of our common stock. If we obtain
additional financing by issuing debt securities, the terms of these securities
could limit our flexibility in making business decisions. Failure to
achieve maximum proceeds in this offering and/or the need for additional
future financing could reduce the value of your investment.
Forward-looking Statements
Many statements made in this prospectus under the captions "Prospectus
Summary", "Risk Factors", "Management's Discussion and Analysis or Plan of
Operations", "Business" and elsewhere are forward-looking statements that are
not based on historical facts. Because these forward-looking statements
involve risks and uncertainties, there are important factors that could cause
actual results to differ materially from those expressed or implied by these
forward-looking statements including those discussed under "Risk Factors."
The forward-looking statements presented in this prospectus are based on
events through the date on which the statements are made.
<PAGE> 9
Use of Proceeds
The net proceeds to be realized by us from this offering, after deducting
estimated offering related expenses of $8,000, will be approximately $67,000
if all shares are sold. It is possible that we will not sell any shares in the
offering. We believe that we must sell at least 25% of our offering
($18,750) to begin putting our business plan into effect although such amount
will be insufficient to meet our needs over the next 12 months unless we
achieve revenues from operations almost immediately. We believe we need to
raise maximum proceeds to most effectively implement our business plan and
less than that amount will require us to limit salaries; limit our payments
of $500 per month rent to Mr. Roberts which will be accrued; and limit
significantly our purchase of merchandise. Limited inventory could cause us to
fail as a going concern if we make unwise inventory choices or if we fail to
resell the same in a timely manner in order to generate cash flow.
We propose to use the net proceeds as follows, in order of priority:
Assuming sale Assuming sale Assuming sale
of 100% or of 50% or of 25% or
Description 75,000 shares 37,500 shares 18,750 shares

============== ============= =============
(1) Rent will be paid to an officer and director, Mr. William "Bill"
Roberts and will be reduced accordingly if less than maximum proceeds
are received. Mr. Roberts will defer the balance of any payments due
(if less than $500.00 per month are made to him) until such time as
the Company begins seeing revenues from operations or receives
additional financing.
The working capital reserve may be used for general corporate purposes
to operate, manage and acquire inventory. We presently have no commitments or
agreements, and we are not involved in any negotiations, with respect to any
acquisitions of merchandise.
The amounts set forth in the use of proceeds table merely indicate the
proposed use of proceeds, and actual expenditures may vary substantially from
these estimates depending upon market and economic conditions once operations
are commenced. We may, in the future, seek additional funds through loans or
other financing arrangements.
<PAGE> 10
Pending expenditures of the proceeds of this offering, we may make
temporary investments in short-term, investment grade, interest-bearing
securities, money market accounts, insured certificates of deposit and/or in
insured banking accounts.
We presently do not pay our officers and directors any amount of salary.
In the event we are successful in completing this offering, we propose to then
begin paying our officers approximately $15.00 per hour for future services
while they work for us. Any full time employees, including officers if they
work full time, will be paid salaries competitive in the industry subject to
our ability to do so.
Determination of Offering Price
As of the date of this prospectus, there is no public market for our
common stock. The offering price of the shares was determined arbitrarily by
us and should not be considered an indication of the actual value of our
company or our shares of common stock. It was not based on any established
criteria of value and bears no relation to our assets, book value, earnings or
net worth. In determining the offering price and the number of shares to be
offered, we considered such factors as the price paid by our initial
investors, our financial condition, our potential for profit and the general
condition of the securities market. The offering price of $1.00 per share was
decided on by us because we believe that the price of $1.00 per share will be
the easiest price at which to sell the shares. The price of the common stock
that will prevail in any market that develops after the offering, if any, may
be higher or lower than the price you paid. There is also no assurance that an
active market will ever develop in our securities. You may not be able to
resell any shares you purchased in this offering following this offering.
Our common stock has never been traded on any exchange or market prior to
this offering.

contributions of existing common stock shareholders and investors in this

<PAGE> 11
The table appearing on the previous page has been prepared assuming that
none of the present shareholders purchase additional shares in this offering.
Assuming sale of maximum shares in the offering , our pro forma
net tangible book value if all shares are sold is $ 74,500 or approximately
$0.67 per share. Pro Forma net tangible book value per share represents our
total tangible assets less our total liabilities divided by the number of
shares of our common stock outstanding.
Pro forma net tangible book value dilution per share represents the
difference between the amount paid per share by purchasers of common stock in
this offering and the pro forma net tangible book value per share of common
stock as adjusted to give effect to this offering. After giving effect to the
sale of 75,000 shares of common stock offered at $ 1.00 per share, our
adjusted net tangible book value would be approximately $74,500 or
approximately $ 0.67 per share of common stock. This represents an immediate
increase in pro forma net tangible book value of approximately $0.47 per share
to existing shareholders and an immediate dilution of approximately $0.33 per
share to new investors in this offering. The following table sets for
information on dilution to new shareholders presuming 100%, 50% and 25% of
maximum proceeds are received.

Plan of Distribution
How this offering will be sold
-------------------------------
Kubla Khan, Inc. will sell shares of its common stock according to this
prospectus directly to any and all suitable investors in approved states in
which these securities are
<PAGE> 12
registered or are exempt from registration. This is a self-underwritten
offering with 75,000 shares offered. William S. (Bill) Roberts, our President,
will sell the shares. Mr Roberts qualifies for the exemption from
registration as a broker dealer under Rule 3a4-1 of the Exchange Act because
he will not receive commissions or other offering remuneration of any kind for
selling shares in this offering; he is not currently associated with a
broker/dealer firm; and he is registered in the State of Utah as an

Purchases by officers, directors and principal shareholders
-----------------------------------------------------------
Our officers, directors and principal shareholder and persons associated
with them may purchase some of the shares being offered according to this
prospectus, not to exceed 33% of the shares sold in this offering. Any
securities purchased by our officers, directors, and principal shareholders
will be purchased for investment purposes only and not for the purpose of
redistribution. Moreover, it is not intended that the proceeds from this
offering will be utilized, directly or indirectly, to enable anyone, including
officers and directors, to purchase the shares offered.
Purchases of shares by officers and directors will result in management
increasing its control of Kubla Khan Inc. Consequently, this offering could
close with a greater percentage of shares being held by present management and
with lesser participation by the other investors than would otherwise be the
case.
Legal Proceedings
There are no legal proceedings or pending litigation to which we are a
party or against any of our officers or directors as a result of their
capacities with Kubla Khan and we are not aware of any threat of such
litigation. We are not aware of any proceeding involving us that a
governmental authority may be contemplating.

and Financial Principal of Le Barron Securities, Inc. The penalties imposed
under this decree were spread over an 8 month period of time. For the first
four months, Bill was barred from being associated in the securities industry.
For the following four months, Bill was allowed to be involved in the
securities industries as a Registered Representative but barred from being a
Registered Principal. At the end of the eight months, Bill was allowed to

Involvement in other public companies.
-------------------------------------
Mr. Roberts since 1998 has been the Secretary, Treasurer, and Director
of Industries International, Inc. which is a Nevada corporation attempting to
develop a golf course in Moapa Valley (Overton), Nevada. It is anticipated
the company will very shortly be filing a 10SB Registration Statement in order
to allow trading of securities to the public.
There are no other involvements of any of our officers and directors in
any public companies.
Significant employees
---------------------
We do not intend to hire an office staff. We believe that the company
can be effectively managed by its officers and directors. There may be
occasions, such as retail selling events, when it will be necessary for the
company to hire temporary help at wages consistent with those paid for similar
functions performed in the industry.
Officers and directors, while performing the functions of employees, will
be compensated on a per hour basis at the rate of $15.00 per hour for their
time. It is anticipated that the majority of those functions will be
performed by Kris Ramsey who will devote approximately 100% of her time to
Kubla Khan; Bill Roberts will devote approximately 25% of his time to Kubla
Khan. Mr. Pidcock will devote such time to Kubla Khan as is necessary for
corporate formalities.
Involvement in certain legal proceedings
-----------------------------------------
In March of 1996, the secretary and treasurer, Kristine Ramsey, filed a
Chapter 7 Petition in Bankruptcy which was discharged on June 25, 1996. With
the exception of the bankruptcy filed by Kristine, during the past five years,
no present or former director, executive officer, or person nominated to
become a director or executive officer of Kubla Khan, Inc:
* has filed a petition under federal bankruptcy laws or any state
insolvency law, nor had a receiver, fiscal agent or similar officer

Inc. The penalties upon signing the decree was that Mr. Roberts, for
four months following, was barred from being associated in the
securities industries. For the following four months, Bill was
allowed to be involved in the securities industries as a Registered
Representative but barred from being a Register Principal. At the end

control of Kubla Khan, Inc.
Rule 13d-3 generally provides that beneficial owners of securities
include any person who, directly or indirectly, has or shares voting power
and/or investment power with respect to such securities, and any person who
has the right to acquire beneficial ownership of such security within 60 days.
Any securities not outstanding which are subject to such options, warrants or
conversion privileges exercisable within 60 days are treated as outstanding
for the purpose of computing the percentage of outstanding securities owned by
that person. Such securities are not treated as outstanding for the purpose
of computing the percentage of the class owned by any other person. At the
present time there are no outstanding options, warrants or conversion
privileges for any or our existing or proposed securities.
Description of Securities
Our authorized capital stock consists of 50,000,000 shares of $0.001 par
value common stock. All shares have equal voting rights and are not
assessable. Voting rights are not cumulative. The holders of more than 50% of
the voting stock could, if they chose to do so, elect all of the directors.
Common stock
------------
Upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up of Kubla Khan, Inc. and after
the payment of liabilities and satisfaction of all claims our assets will be
distributed pro rata to the holders of the common stock. The holders of the
common stock do not have preemptive rights to subscribe for any additional
securities and they have no right to require us to redeem or purchase their
shares. The shares of common stock presently outstanding are, and the shares
of common stock which may be sold in future will be upon issuance, fully paid
and nonassessable.
Holders of our common stock are entitled to share equally in dividends
when, as and if declared by the Board of Directors, out of funds legally
available for that purpose after payment of any dividends to the holders of
our preferred stock. There is no preferred stock issued, authorized or
proposed. We have not paid any cash dividends on our common stock, and it is
unlikely that any such dividends will be declared in the foreseeable future.
We presently have a total of 36,744 shares of our common stock issued and
outstanding which are held by 4 shareholders.
<PAGE> 18
Change in Control Provisions
-------------------------------------
There are no provisions in our charter or bylaws that would delay, defer
or prevent a change in control of Kubla Khan.
Experts
The financial statements as of June 30, 2000 and for the periods then
ended included in this prospectus have been audited by Randy Simpson, PC.,
independent public accountants, as stated in his report appearing herein and
have been so included in reliance upon such report given upon the authority of
that firm as experts in accounting and auditing.
Disclosure of Commission Position of Indemnification
for Securities Act Liabilities
Insofar as indemnification for liability arising under the Securities Act
of 1933 may be permitted to our directors, officers and controlling persons
according to the provisions described above, or otherwise, we have 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
unenforceable.
In the event a claim for indemnification against such liabilities other
than the payment by us of expenses incurred or paid by any of our directors,
officers or controlling persons 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 sold in this offering, we will, unless in
the opinion of our legal counsel the matter has been settled by controlling
precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether
such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Act and will
be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
Organization Within the Last Five Years
No promoters have been involved with Kubla Khan either directly or
indirectly since its inception on March 28, 2000.
Description of Business
Business development
--------------------
Kubla Khan, Inc. was organized as a Utah corporation on March 28, 2000.
On April 25, 2000, the Company amended the articles to correct the spelling of
the name from Kubla Khan to Kubla "Khan". Kubla Khan was incorporated to
develop relationships with companies which purchase factory overruns from
manufacturers and distressed merchandise from retailers at discounts. As a
result, it is hoped that these companies can offer us new high quality
products in quantity whereby the costs to us is substantially discounted
(generally around 30% of the
<PAGE> 19
standard wholesale cost for the same product). It is anticipated that we
will primarily sell to retailers, however, we also intend to engage in retail
sales on a limited basis. Kubla Khan, Inc. is considered a development
stage company; we have no revenues and virtually no assets.
Our business
------------
Principal products or services and their markets
Our primary business objective is to satisfy and fulfill the demand of
retailers for high quality merchandise at below wholesale costs. We will
purchase new, high quality items in quantity whereby we can sell these items
immediately to retailers for an amount which includes a substantial profit to
us. We will maximize net profits by minimizing fixed overhead such as salary
and employee benefits.
Distribution methods
We anticipate selling nationwide, but our initial focus will be in the
Utah area.
Milestones
We have set the following milestones to effect our business plan.
Event Date
----------------- ----
* Complete sale of offering 6-9 mos. from
effective date
* Continue to research and solidify
relationships with potential suppliers
contacting manufacturers/wholesalers
primarily in California re: availability
and cost of merchandise, especially
lower-end merchandise which retails for
less than $20; continue making contact
with potential end-users, mostly in Utah,
in an effort to determine their needs. Now and on-going
* Begin purchasing inventory; Upon receipt of first
proceeds
* Rent storage facility When needed
* Begin sales of inventory Upon purchase of first
inventory
* Test some limited retail sales 12 months
mostly at swap meets/ flea markets.
<PAGE> 20
* Increase volume of inventory purchase and
resales utilizing retained earnings 12 - 24 months
Competitive business conditions, methods of competition, our competitive
position.
We will be in direct competition with other entities that market on a
discount basis and have greater name recognition and assets than we have.
We will experience competition from some of the wholesalers/manufacturers we
purchase from which already directly sell their overstock to retailers. It is
likely retailers will get a better price from these wholesalers and
manufacturers because they have more buying power, an established
relationship, and use no middleman. We will also compete with other "jobbers"
or intermediaries who are experienced in the industry, have existing
relationships with wholesalers/manufacturers, and are better able to analyze
costs of goods as well as potential market . We hope to compete by
*
Price - we believe we must purchase inventory at least 30% - 50%
off standard wholesale prices in order be sufficiently competitive
to attract purchases and still make a profit. Our contact with
potential suppliers indicates that it will be possible for us to
purchase inventory at the prices we need to be profitable.
* Low Overhead - we will keep our overhead as low as possible to help
increase our profit margin;
* Convenience and Good Service- We also believe by initially limiting
our marketing efforts to the greater Salt Lake area, we will be in a
better position to offer "convenience" and good service to retailers
while at the same time becoming more quickly attuned to local buying
trends.
We will suffer from extreme competition from a variety of sources
but we believes that there is room in the market for us provided we are able
to offer the right products at a sufficient discount.
Dependence on a few major suppliers
At the present time we are attempting to establish working arrangements
with suppliers in California but as of this date there are no signed
contracts.
Number of employees
It is anticipated that the company will primarily be operated by
Kristine D. Ramsey and William S. Roberts.
<PAGE> 21
Reports to securities holders
-----------------------------
Kubla Khan, Inc. has filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, a
Registration Statement on Form SB-2, SEC File No. 333-46114 , under
the Securities Act of 1933 with respect to the securities offered by this
prospectus. This prospectus omits certain information contained in the
Registration Statement. For further information, reference is made to the
Registration Statement and to the exhibits and other schedules filed
therewith. Statements contained in this prospectus as to the contents of any
contract or other document referred to are not necessarily complete, and where
such contract or other document is an exhibit to the Registration Statement,
each such statement is deemed to be qualified and amplified in all respects by
the provisions of the exhibit. Copies of the complete Registration Statement,
including exhibits may be examined at the office of the Securities and
Exchange Commission at 450 Fifth Street, N.W., Washington, D.C. 20549,
through the EDGAR database at www.sec.gov.; or copies may be obtained from
this office on payment of the usual fees for reproduction. Following the
effective date of the prospectus, we will be required to comply with the
reporting requirements of the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934. We will
file annual, quarterly and other reports with the Securities and Exchange
Commission which will also be available at www.sec.gov.
Management's Discussion and Analysis or Plan of Operation
We have had only limited operations since our inception in March 2000.
We have limited assets of $ 6,436 most of which are comprised of deferred
offering costs. We also owe $553 to one of our officers/stockholders,
Mr. Bill Roberts for travel expenses related to visiting wholesalers and
manufacturers in California.
Prior to this offering, we have dedicated time to initiating contacts
and developing relationships with various entities which purchase factory
overruns from manufacturers and distressed merchandise from retailers at a
discount. Our goal has been to seek merchandise/inventory that is both high
quality and below existing wholesale prices. Upon completion of this
offering, and the for the following twelve months, Management intends to
* aggressively pursue these relationships in an effort to acquire high
quality merchandise overruns and distressed merchandise for
immediate resale to retailers; we will attempt to develop these
relationships in the Western US, primarily in California; we intend
to resell this merchandise in the Western US, primarily in Utah.
* to purchase such merchandise at quantities and at prices that will
average approximately 30% - 50% off the standard wholesale cost for
such product in the industry; we will make every effort to stay
within these discount percentages in order to be competitive. (These
discount estimates are based on our meetings/contacts with California
wholesalers/manufacturers.); we will make
<PAGE> 22
every effort to resell the merchandise at the highest possible
profit margin.
* pursue some limited retail sales on a "test the market" basis
(mostly at swap meets and flea market and expo marts in the greater
Salt Lake locale.
* limit overhead by (a) paying only nominal rent to William (Bill)
Roberts for use of an office in his home; (b) by limiting payroll and
administrative expenses and (c) by the use of sales incentive bonuses
of 2.5% of net profits to two of our officers each month.
During the next twelve months, our cash requirements will include the
following:
* $500 per month office rent;
* compensation to two of our officers of approximately $15.00 per hour
not to exceed an aggregate of $10,000 in the next twelve month
period unless generated from operating revenues
* legal and accounting expenses associated with compliance with SEC
reporting obligations, estimated at $5,000
* miscellaneous overhead of approximately $3000;
* cash to purchase our inventory.
We will require a minimum of $27,000 for the next 12 month for day to
day operating expenses which does not include the $40,000 we need for our
initial inventory purchases. We believes that the anticipated $67,000 in net
proceeds from this offering will be sufficient to cover both our general
operating expenses as well as implementing our business plan through the
purchase of inventory. If we do not receive the full amount of proceeds, we
will be required to purchase less inventory and find other ways to cut
expenses in order to remain operational.
Even if we are able to raise the full $75,000 in the offering, there is
no guarantee that the funds available to us will be sufficient to achieve our
goal of penetrating the highly competitive market of retail and wholesale
sales. We will encounter substantial competition in the market from other
"jobbers" and intermediaries such as ourselves who have much more experience
in the industry as well as established relationships with
wholesalers/manufacturers and retailer/end users. We also suffer competition
from wholesalers and manufacturers themselves who deal with discount retailers
directly. We believe our main method of competition will be to make every
effort to purchase our inventory at least 30% below normal wholesale prices;
to keep our overhead low; and to initially limit our market to one
geographical locale. We will use every effort to minimize our expenses
during our first year of operations and have no plans for additional employees
until or unless warranted due to business needs.
<PAGE> 23
If we do not succeed in seeing limited revenues or, at minimum, the
potential of limited revenues, in the next twelve months, we may be forced to
discontinue operations unless we are able to raise additional capital.
Management is not experienced in developmental companies and may not have
correctly estimated its inventory needs for a start up company such as Kubla
Khan nor anticipated purchase prices and resale prices accurately. Even if we
succeed in purchasing inventory at what we believe is a discounted price, we
could have difficulty in reselling the same for prices which would be
profitable to us. Profit margins on resales of goods could prove to be
insufficient to cover our operating expenses. We may need additional funds
even if we begin generating revenues; we may also need additional financing
for expansion. It may be difficult for us to succeed in securing additional
financing. We may be able to attract some private investors, or officers and
directors may be willing to make additional cash contributions, advancements
or loans. However, we have no agreements with our officers and directors
obligating them to make additional cash contributions to Kubla Khan, Inc.
In the alternative, we could attempt some form of debt or equity financing.
However, there is no guarantee that any of the foregoing methods of financing
would be successful. If we fail to achieve at least a portion of our business
goals in the next twelve months with the funds available to us, there is
substantial uncertainty as to whether we can continue operations.
Description of Property
At the present time we have no property. We intend to pay $500 per month
rent to William (Bill) Roberts (president and CEO) for the use of office space
in his home.
Certain Relationship and Related Transactions
Office rent
------------
We will pay rent of $500.00 per month for office space which is in the
residence of Mr. William S. Roberts and consists of one room with
approximately 300 square feet and a telephone. Mr. Roberts has agreed to the
use of his residence until such time as we require additional office space.
In addition, Mr. Roberts has agreed to defer a portion of these payments
if we do not receive maximum proceeds in this offering. He will receive full
payment if 100% of proceeds are received; $250 per month if 50% of proceeds
are received and $125 per month if 25% of proceeds are received. Mr. Roberts
will receive any deferred portions when and if we begin realizing revenues
from operations.
Purchase of common stock
------------------------
Three of our officers/directors, as well as one individual who is not an
officer or director, purchased stock at inception; 36,744 common shares were
purchased by the four current shareholders for $7,500.
<PAGE> 24
Advances by officers/directors
------------------------------
One officer/director has advanced money for his own travel expenses
($553 as of September 30, 2000) which will be reimbursed without interest once
the offering is completed. These advances were made by Mr. William Roberts.
No compensation has been accrued or deferred by any officer or director.
Resolving conflicts of interest
-------------------------------
The board of directors has determined that its directors are to disclose
all conflicts of interest and all corporate opportunities to the entire board
of directors. Any transaction involving a conflict of interest engaged in by
Kubla Khan, Inc. shall be on terms not less favorable than that which could be
obtained from an unrelated third party.
Market for Common Equity and Related Stockholder Matters
No market for our shares
------------------------
As of the date of this prospectus and for the foreseeable future, there
is no public or private market for our shares. In the event that we are
successful in raising capital through this offering, there will still be only
a limited market (if any at all) for our shares. Only in the event that we
are successful in making this initial public offering of our common stock do
we anticipate that we will ever have any public market for our securities. In
the event there is no market for our shares, you could suffer a total loss of
all monies paid to us for your shares. No assurance can be given that we will
be able to successfully complete this initial public offering of our common
stock and develop and sustain a public market for our common stock.
Effect of Penny Stock Reform Act and Rule 15g-9
-----------------------------------------------
The shares will be subject to the Penny Stock Reform Act which may
affect your ability to sell your shares in any secondary market.
(a) Penny Stock Reform Act. In October 1990 Congress enacted the
Penny Stock Reform Act of 1990 to counter fraudulent practices common in penny
stock transactions. Under Rule 3a51-1 of the Exchange Act a security will be
defined as a "penny stock" unless it is:
* listed on approved national securities exchanges;
* a security registered or approved for registration and traded on
a national securities exchange that meets specific guidelines,
where the trade is effected through the facilities of that
national exchange;
* a security listed on NASDAQ;
<PAGE> 25
* a security of an issuer that meets minimum financial
requirements; or
* a security with a price of at least $5.00 per share in the
transaction in question or that has a bid quotation, as defined
in the Rule, of at least $5.00 per share.
Broker-dealer practices in connection with transactions in "penny stocks"
are regulated by penny stock rules adopted by the Securities and Exchange
Commission. The penny stock rules require a broker-dealer, prior to a
transaction in a penny stock not otherwise exempt from the rules, to deliver a
standardized risk disclosure document that provides information about penny
stocks and the risks in the penny stock market. The broker-dealer also must
provide the customer with current bid and offer quotations for the penny
stock, the compensation of the broker-dealer and its salesperson in the
transaction, and monthly account statements showing the market value of each
penny stock held in the customer's account.
In addition, the penny stock rules generally require that, prior to a
transaction in a penny stock, the broker-dealer make a special written
determination that the penny stock is a suitable investment for the purchaser
and receive the purchaser's written agreement to the transaction. These
disclosure requirements may have the effect of reducing the level of trading
activity in the secondary market for a stock that becomes subject to the penny
stock rules. We anticipate that following a successful completion of this
offering, our shares of common stock will be subject to the penny stock rules.
Under the Penny Stock Reform Act, brokers and/or dealers, prior to
effecting a transaction in a penny stock, will be required to provide
investors with written disclosure documents containing information concerning
various aspects involved in the market for penny stocks as well as specific
information about the subject security and the transaction involving the
purchase and sale of that security. Subsequent to the transaction, the broker
will be required to deliver monthly or quarterly statements containing
specific information about the subject security. These added disclosure
requirements will most likely negatively affect the ability of purchasers
herein to sell their securities in any secondary market.
(b) Rule 15g-9 promulgated under the Exchange Act imposes additional
sales practice requirements on broker-dealers who sell penny stocks to persons
other than established customers. For transactions covered by the rule, the
broker-dealer must make a special suitability determination for the purchaser
and receive the purchaser's written agreement to the transaction prior to the
sale. Consequently, the rule may also affect the ability of purchasers in this
offering to sell their securities in any secondary market.
Possible issuance of additional securities
------------------------------------------
We may need additional financing to grow our proposed business. If we
are able to raise additional funds and we do so by issuing equity securities,
you may experience significant
<PAGE> 26
dilution of your ownership interest and holders of the new securities issued
may have rights senior to those of the holders of our common stock. If we
obtain additional financing by issuing debt securities, the terms of these
securities could restrict or prevent us from paying dividends and could limit
our flexibility in making business decisions. In this case, the value of your
investment could be reduced.
Other provisions
-----------------
The shares of common stock offered by this prospectus, when issued, will
be duly and validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT
----------------------------
We have audited the accompanying balance sheet of Kubla Khan, Inc. ( a
development stage company) as of September 30, 2000 and the related statement
of operations, shareholder's equity and cash flows for the period from
inception (March 28, 2000) to September 30, 2000. These financial statements
are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to
express an opinion on this financial statement based on our audit.
We conducted our audit in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to
obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of
material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence
supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit
also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant
estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial
statement presentation. We believe that our audit of the financial statements
provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, based on our audit, the financial statements referred to above
present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Kubla
Khan, Inc, as of September 30, 2000 and the results of its operations,
shareholder's equity and cash flows for the period from inception (March 28,
2000) through September 30, 2000, in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Note 1 - Nature of business and summary of significant accounting policies
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Nature of business - Kubla Khan, Inc. was incorporated on March 28, 2000, in
the state of Utah. The Company has not conducted any operations as June 30,
2000 and has incurred only expenses for travel for the review of various
business opportunities and marketing strategies.
Intangibles - Organizational costs consisting of legal fees of $1,000 have
been expensed in accordance with the AICPA's Statement of Position (SOP) 98-5
which requires that costs incurred in the organization of a new entity be
expensed rather amortized over a period of years.
Income taxes - The Company has no deferred tax assets or liabilities. A tax
loss carryforward of $ 648 has occurred, and is available for carryforward to
offset future profits for the next 20 years. No tax benefit for the loss
carryforward has been established due to the Company's lack of operating
history and it's ability to demonstrate that it can realize a profit from
future operations.
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 at
the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and
expenses during the reporting period. Actual amounts could differ from those
estimates.
Per share information - Per share information has been computed using the
weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period.
Note 2 - Related Party Transactions -Advances from Officers/Stockholder and
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Rental of Personal Residency
----------------------------
The officers of the Company have paid heir own travel costs, which will be

utilize the personal residency of the president to office the Company. The
Company intends to pay $500 per month for the space. The Company has not paid
or accrued any rent expense as of September 30, 2000. The Company will not
begin paying rent until it raises a minimum of $18,240 in its proposed
offering with maximum proceeds of $75,000. The Company's president has agreed
that he will take a rent proportionate to its offering proceeds and will
accrue the balance if maximum proceeds are not raised until such time as the
Company begins earning revenues from operations.
Note 3- Common Stock / Prepaid Legal Fees/Deferred Offering Costs
-----------------------------------------------------------------
The Company issued 36,744 shares for $7,500 in cash from four shareholders.
The Company advanced $7,000 to its legal counsel, who has spent $1,000 in
organizing the Company and incurred $6,000 in fees on a securities
registration statement which amount is reflected in the balance sheet as
deferred offering costs.

Part II - Information Not Required in Prospectus
Item 24. Indemnification of Directors and Officers
Pursuant to Utah Code Annotated Section 16-10a-841, our Articles of
Incorporation and bylaws provide for the indemnification of present and former
directors and officers and each person who serves at our request as our
officer or director. We will indemnify such individuals against all costs,
expenses and liabilities incurred in a threatened, pending or completed
action, suit or proceeding brought because such individual is our director or
officer. Such individual must have conducted himself in good faith and
reasonably believed that his conduct was in, or not opposed to, our best
interest. In a criminal action he must not have had a reasonable cause to
believe his conduct was unlawful. This right of indemnification is not
exclusive of other rights the individual is entitled to as a matter of law or
otherwise.
Article XX of our Articles of Incorporation specifically limits personal
liability of our officers and directors to the corporation pursuant to Utah
Code Annotated 16-10a-841.
Our bylaws also contain provisions for indemnification set forth under
Article VIII which also provides for indemnification of those individuals who
serve at the at the request of the board of directors on any committee as well
as employees .
We will not indemnify an individual adjudged liable to us due to his
negligence or wilful misconduct toward us, or if he improperly received
personal benefit although a conviction based on a guilty plea or nolo
contendre is not in itself deemed adjudication that such individual is liable
to us. Determination on an individual's rights under those circumstances will
be determined under the procedures set forth under our bylaws.
Item 25. Other Expenses of Issuance and Distribution
The estimated expenses of the offering, all of which are to be borne by Kubla
Khan, Inc. are as follows:
SEC Filing Fee.....................................$ 20.85
Printing Expenses ................................. 300.00
Accounting Fees and Expenses....................... 500.00
Legal Fees and Expenses ........................... 5,500.00
Blue Sky Fees ..................................... 300.00
Registrar and Transfer Agent Fees.................. 400.00
Edgarizing and Miscellaneous Expenses.............. 979.15
Total.........................................$ 8,000.00
Item 26. Recent Sales of Unregistered Securities
<PAGE> 40
The following unregistered securities have been issued since the Kubla
Khan Inc.'s inception in March 28, 2000.
At inception, March 28, 2000 , four individuals contributed
$7,500 to Kubla Khan Inc. for an aggregate of 36,744 unregistered common
shares. These individuals are: William S. Roberts, Wallace Pidcock,
Kristine D. Ramsey and Jay Terrell. The shares were issued under the
exemption provided for under Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933 as an
issuance "not involving a public offering". We believe that each of these
purchasers (i) was aware that the securities had not been registered under
federal securities laws, (ii) acquired the securities for his/her/its own
account for investment purposes and not with a view to or for resale in
connection with any distribution for purpose of the federal securities laws,
(iii) understood that the securities would need to be indefinitely held unless
registered or an exemption from registration applied to a proposed disposition
and (iv) was aware that the certificate representing the securities would bear
a legend restricting their transfer. We believe that, in light of the
foregoing, the sale of our securities to the respective acquirers did not
constitute the sale of an unregistered security in violation of the federal
securities laws and regulations by reason of the exemptions provided under
Section 4(2) of the Securities Act, and the rules and regulations promulgated
thereunder.

Item 28. Undertakings
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities
Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of
Kubla Khan, Inc. according to the provisions described above, or otherwise,
Kubla Khan Inc., 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 unenforceable. In the event that a claim for
indemnification against such liabilities, other than the payment by Kubla
Khan, Inc. of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling
person of Kubla Khan, Inc. 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, Kubla Khan, Inc. 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 Act
and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
The undersigned Company hereby undertakes:
(1) To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made,
a post-effective amendment to this registration statement:
a. to include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the
Securities Act of 1933:
b. to reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the
effective date of the registration statement (or the most recent
post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the
aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set
forth in the registration statement;
c. to include any material information with respect to the plan of
distribution not previously disclosed in the registration statement
or any material change to such information in the registration
statement.
(2) That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the
Securities Act of 1933, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to
be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein,
and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the
initial bona fide offering thereof.
(3) To remove any registration by means of a post-effective amendment any
of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of
the offering.
Signatures
In accordance with the requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, the

all of the requirements for filing on Form SB-2/A and authorized this
