FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
This Form 10-SB contains forward looking statements within the meaning of the
Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 (the "PSLRA"), including, but
not limited to statements related to the Company's business objectives and
strategy. Such forward-looking statements are based on current expectations,
estimates and projections about the Company's industry, management beliefs, and
certain assumptions made by the Company's management. Words such as
"anticipates," "expects," "intends," "plans," "believes," "seeks," "estimates,"
variations of such words and similar expressions are intended to identify such
forward-looking statements. These statements are not guarantees of future
performance and are subject to certain risks, uncertainties and assumptions that
are difficult to predict; therefore, actual results may differ materially from
those expressed, forecasted, or contemplated by any such forward- looking
statements. The PSLRA does not apply to initial public offerings.
Factors that could cause actual events or results to differ materially include,
among others, the following: market acceptance of the Internet as a medium for
consumers to obtain telecommunications products, the Company's ability to
acquire and develop quality products on an ongoing basis, intense competition
from other E-commerce websites over the Internet, the Company's early state of
development, delays or errors in the Company's ability to effect electronic
commerce transactions, potential liability for defamation, negligence,
intellectual property infringement, and other risks inherent in the
telecommunications and high tech industry and associated with doing business
over the Internet. See, "Management's Discussion and Analysis or Plan of
Operation -- Factors That May Affect Future Results and Market Price of Stock."
Given these uncertainties, investors are cautioned not to place undue reliance
on any such forward-looking statements.
Unless required by law, the Company undertakes no obligation to update publicly
any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future
events or otherwise. However, readers should carefully review the risk factors
set forth in other reports or documents the Company files from time to time with
the Securities and Exchange Commission, particularly the Annual Reports on Form
10-KSB, the Quarterly Reports on Form 10-QSB and any Current Reports on Form
8-K.
American IDC Corp. (the "Company") is voluntarily filing this Form 10-SB
registration statement in order to make information concerning its business
plan, including financials, as required by the Securities and Exchange
Commission ("SEC") available to the public and its existing and potential
investors. The Company intends to continue to file the interim and periodic
reports as required under the Exchange Act of 1934, as amended ("Exchange Act"),
in order to stay in compliance with the Exchange Act. The Company is currently

PART I
ITEM 1. DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS
GENERAL
-------
American IDC Corp. (hereinafter "The Company"), a development stage company, was
incorporated on June 3, 1997 under the laws of the State of Florida. Its
Articles of Incorporation provided for authorized capital of fifty million
(50,000,000) shares of Common Stock , par value $0.001.
There have been no bankruptcy, receiverships, or similar proceedings by or
against the Company. There has been no material reclassification, merger,
consolidation, or purchase or sale of any significant asset(s).
The Company's principal executive offices are located at: Suite 625 - 9800
Sepulveda Boulevard, Los Angeles, CA 90045.
BUSINESS HISTORY
----------------
The Company was incorporated as a development stage company on June 3, 1997 as
Future Projects VIII Corp. On July 20, 2000, the Company changed its name to
American IDC Corp. with the intention of developing an Internet Data Center
business.
The Company has recognized the increasing demand for companies entering into
E-commerce to have a place of Internet presence, security and redundancy within
the Data Center market place. The Company intends to become a total Internet
Solutions Provider by offering businesses a platform to build and execute their
E-business strategies.
THE INTERNET DATA CENTER OUTSOURCING INDUSTRY
---------------------------------------------
As one of many organizations in a growing industry, the Company is prepared to
implement a strategy to position itself as an Information Technology solution
provider to various public and private organizations. The Company believes that
in order to capitalize on the growth in the Internet Data market, it needs to
target its core competencies with an emphasis on customer service and support.
BUSINESS DEVELOPMENT
--------------------
Though in its developmental stage, the Company believes that it has refined a
business model that will provide Internet co-location service, Internet Data
Center services, and office space leasing services to small and medium size
businesses. The Company will provide the security, flexibility, and control that
customers require to fill all of their Information Technology needs.
4
<PAGE>
The Company plans to offer solutions that will enable Information Technology
clients to procure data center outsourcing services as an extension of their
organizations and not as an "either/or" business proposition. The Company
believes this will lead to greater end user satisfaction, improved budge
performance from customer/supplier synergies, fixed cost expense forecasting,
significant cost savings and access to state of the art data center facilities.
The Company has based its business model on the belief that the market is
currently lacking secure and flexible comprehensive Information Technology
solutions provided by one source.
The Company plans to design and engineer its own customized data center
platforms on which clients build their applications. The Company believes by
providing teams of technical specialists and in-field technicians to assume end
to end accountability for all hardware and network functions, and by utilizing
centralized data center consulting services, the Company will be able to provide
a premium level of customer service to clients with efficiency and flexibility.
Using the Internet, the Company plans to connect clients to its data center
where servers are stored and managed in an environmentally controlled and secure
facility. Customer service oriented technicians will be provided to support
clients around the clock.
The Company intends to work closely with clients to enable them to design their
own networks, chose the operation system, bandwidth options, backup and recovery
strategies and security services that best support their technical goals for
their specific business applications. The Company intends to ensure clients that
it can tailor its services to their business needs.
PRODUCTS AND SERVICES
---------------------
The Company's products and services are expected to include:
1. Internet Co-Location Services
2. Office Space Leasing Services
3. Data Centers
INTERNET CO-LOCATION SERVICES
The Company's Co-Location services will be designed to give businesses the
security, flexibility, and control that is essential in a hosting service. The
Company's operation will be built around reliability and total network
protection.
Co-Location will be targeted to companies who want to use their own servers and
network equipment, those that rely on complex or legacy operating systems, or
that maintain proprietary, patented, or sensitive intellectual property. It will
also be targeted to Application Service Providers and dot-com companies that
provide software, data, or IT services to their customers. Co-Location enables
clients to maintain control over their own server and data, while ensuring
systems remain online and that the data is safe.
5
<PAGE>
OFFICE SPACE LEASING SERVICES
The Company's facility will consist of potentially over 65,000 square feet of
designated, independent office space area. This area will be designed to provide
short term or temporary accommodation solutions to emerging and growing
businesses who may not yet require an operating office in Los Angeles or
southern California but who are in need of a business presence (for example, a
representative office for a Chinese or Asian based company).
The Company believes that one of the biggest concerns of small and medium sized
businesses is overhead expense. The Company intends to provide its clients with
an immediate temporary solution to this concern. The Company plans to offer full
service lease spaces on a project basis or short term lease until clients decide
on more permanent solutions.
DATA CENTERS
The Company's management intends to develop a proprietary web-based project
management system that will allow the outsourcing partner direct participation
in project management and coordination of the Company's development resources.
The Company plans to have data center technicians available to clients 24 hours
a day to ensure smooth operations. Technicians will be in constant contact with
the Company's Network Operations Center to monitor the performance and
availability of every server in the Operations Center.
The Company plans to invest in the most current and up to date data center
specific equipment available to ensure stability, reliability, and protection
from bottlenecks, system failures, data loss and downtime.
As different industries and businesses may require different levels of
assistance, the Company plans to focus on customer service with each client on
an individual basis. The Company will specifically focus on the client's
industry requirements and take into account the specific level of information
technology required by each client's organization, customizing the networks to
match the level of sophistication and support each customer requires.
To date the Company has no new announcements of products or services.
MARKETING STRATEGY
------------------
The initial and primary target market the Company has identified is the small
and medium-sized business market. The Company decided it will target this
segment for two reasons:
1. These businesses' lack of local IT expertise and resources to build a
full service/function IT department
2. The budgetary concern of increasing operational expenses to locate and
staff IT professionals.
6
<PAGE>
The demand for web-enabled business applications places additional pressures on
companies to provide around the clock computer operations, and to support those
operations with robust network and data center infrastructures.
The Company's marketing and sales plan is designed so that small business owners
will also be able to use its services in order to save on their IT operational
expenses. Large-scale business enterprises will be personally assisted to find
the best IT solution for their needs by working directly with the Company's
staff, especially if the Company is already housing one or more of their
servers.
Managed services provide businesses with the tools they need to implement a
cohesive set of IT objectives. Companies in the process of formulating a core IT
strategy may not have the in house expertise to objectively determine what that
strategy should be. The Company's technical consultants will be able to deliver
the knowledge and experience in Data Center Outsourcing, Data Center Migration,
Business Continuity, and Security.
The Company is confident that by targeting the small and medium sized business
segment of the market with reliable and affordable Information Technology
solutions, it will be able to establish itself as a leader in the industry.
COMPETITION
-----------
The Information Technology services market is highly fragmented, with no single
institution or company holding a dominant share. These companies include Digital
Island and Exodus, in addition to other providers of traditional consulting and
networking services. Management believes the number of these companies will
continue to increase. Some of these are larger and have greater resources than
the Company, while others offer only specialized IT solutions.
The Company believes that if it can offer a more diverse selection of services,
system reliability and data security in combination with its ability to
effectively manage and administer its Network Operations Centers, it will
position the Company to successfully compete in the Information Technology
solutions market.
EMPLOYEES
---------
Currently, the Company has no employees other than the principal. However,
additional staff will be added, as the success of the business demands it.
7
<PAGE>
GOVERNMENT REGULATIONS
----------------------
The Company is not currently subject to direct federal, state, or local
regulation in the United States other than regulations applicable to businesses
generally or directly applicable to electronic commerce. However, because the
Internet is becoming increasingly popular, it is possible that a number of laws
and regulations may be adopted in the United States with respect to the
Internet. These laws may cover issues such as user privacy, freedom of
expression, pricing, content and quality of products and services, taxation,
advertising, intellectual property rights, and information security.
Furthermore, the growth of electronic commerce may prompt calls for more
stringent consumer protection laws. Several states have proposed legislation to
limit the use of personal user information gathered online or require online
services to establish privacy policies. The Federal Trade Commission has
indicated that it may propose legislation on this issue to Congress in the near
future and has initiated action against at least one online service regarding
the manner in which personal information was collected from users and provided
to third parties. The adoption of such consumer protection laws could create
uncertainty in Internet usage and reduce the demand for all products and
services. The Company does not provide customer information to third parties
and, therefore, does not anticipate any current or proposed legislation relating
to online privacy to directly affect its activities to a material extent.
The Company is not certain how its business may be affected by the application
of existing laws governing issues such as property ownership, copyrights,
encryption, and other intellectual property issues, taxation, libel, obscenity,
and export or import matters.
The vast majority of those laws were adopted prior to the advent of the
Internet. As a result, they do not contemplate or address the unique issues of
the Internet and related technologies. Changes in laws intended to address such
issues could possibly create uncertainty in the Internet marketplace. That
uncertainty could reduce demand for the Company's products or services or
increase the cost of doing business as a result of litigation costs or increased
service delivery costs.
RAW MATERIALS
-------------
The Company does not rely on any one or more raw materials or raw material
suppliers for the normal course of business.
PATENTS
-------
The Company has no patents, nor is it in the process of trying to obtain any
patents at this time.
CUSTOMERS
---------
The Company currently does not rely on one or a few customers to continue
business nor does the Company believe such a dependency shall evolve in the
future for the Company. Potential customers include any E-commerce company
requiring a significant business presence in southern California.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OR PLAN OF OPERATION
The following discussion contains forward-looking statements that are subject to
significant risks and uncertainties. There are several important factors that
could cause actual results to differ materially from historical results and
percentages and results anticipated by the forward-looking statements. The
Company has sought to identify the most significant risks to its business, but
cannot predict whether or to what extent any of such risks may be realized nor
can there be any assurance that the Company has identified all possible risks
that might arise. Investors should carefully consider all of such risks before
making an investment decision with respect to the Company's stock. In
particular, investors should refer to the section entitled, "Factors that May
Affect Future Results and Market Price of Stock".
PLAN OF OPERATION
-----------------
During the next twelve months, the Company plans to concentrate its efforts on
developing its services and identifying specific markets and clients for these
services. The Company intends to rely on the experience and expertise of its
management to study the market for Information Technology solutions.
Because the Company remains essentially a start-up development company with
limited capital resources, it may be necessary for the President to either
advance funds to the Company, or to accrue expenses until such time as an
additional financing can be made. Management intends to hold expenses to a
minimum and to obtain services on a contingency basis when possible until the
Company's product development and marketing reaches a point when additional
financing will be possible. Further, the Company's President and sole Director
will defer any cash compensation until such time as the Company begins to earn
revenues from operations.
It is clear to the Company that present funding is not sufficient for the launch
of its operations, and that it must interest investors in one or more secondary
capital formation programs before it can launch.
Management is now engaged in evaluating the feasibility of further limited
offerings or private placements, whether to develop a program for investors
involving royalties or profit participation in actual product sales, with
investments tied to specific products, or whether to attempt to register
securities for sale, pursuant to Section 5 of the Securities Act of 1933. It is
the conclusion of management that significant additional capital formation is
necessary to launch operations successfully.
The Company does not intend to use any employees, with the possible exception of
part-time clerical assistance on an as-needed basis, until the Company begins to
earn revenues from operations. Outside advisors or consultants will be used only
if they can be obtained for a minimal cost or on a deferred payment basis.
Management is confident that it will be able to operate in this manner as it
continues to develop its business plan during the next twelve months.
9
<PAGE>
CASH REQUIREMENTS AND NEED FOR ADDITIONAL FUNDS
-----------------------------------------------
The Company anticipates no substantial cash requirements for the next twelve
months, to remain in its present pre-operating condition. It is the opinion of
management that approximately $1,000,000 would be required to launch operations
in the next twelve months.
To sustain the Company in a pre-operating mode, the Company has indicated
substantial self-sufficiency, for this reason, management anticipates no
activity during that period, other than compliance with reporting requirements.
Required management, legal and professional services during that period are
believed capable of being secured for deferred payment or payment in new
investment shares of common stock. The exception to the previous statement is
that the Company's Auditor cannot lawfully or properly be compensated otherwise
than by payment for services in cash as billed by such independent auditor. This
cash requirement is foreseen to be not less than $4,000.00 nor more than
$10,000.00 during the next twelve months. This minimal funding will be obtained
by borrowing, possibly with a guarantee from its officers, directors or
principal shareholder. There is no assurance possible that even these minimal
requirements for cash can be met. The failure to maintain current auditing of
the corporate affairs would result in the failure to meet the Company's
intention to file periodic reports, voluntarily or otherwise, at the close of
its next fiscal year. The expenses of its audit, legal and professional
requirements, may be advanced by management. No significant cash or funds are
required for Management to evaluate possible transactions. No such activity is
expected for at least the next six months.
In the more important and desirable event that operations are to be launched
during the next twelve months, as intended, it will be necessary for the Company
to obtain sufficient working capital to insure that its operations could
continue for long enough to achieve profitability.
While the Company has disclosed the results of such a contingency, it does not
anticipate any such contingency upon which the Company would voluntarily cease
filing reports with the SEC, even though it might cease to be required to do so
under current rules. It is in the Company's compelling interest to be a
reporting company and to report its affairs quarterly, annually and currently,
as the case may be, generally to provide accessible public information to
interested parties. Capital formation programs cannot be approached responsibly
without maintenance of the Company's reporting status.
DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
------------------------------------------------------------------------
OPERATIONS AND RESULTS FOR THE PAST TWO FISCAL YEARS: The Company was
incorporated on June 3, 1997 and has yet to launch operations. Activity during
the past year has been confined to the identification of markets and development
of services.
FUTURE PROSPECTS: The Company is unable to predict when it may launch intended
operations, or failing to do so, when and if it may elect to participate in a
business acquisition opportunity. The reason for this uncertainty arises from
its limited resources, and competitive disadvantage to other public or
semi-public issuers. Notwithstanding the conditions, the Company expects to
develop a capital formation strategy and launch operations during the next
twelve to eighteen months.
10
<PAGE>
REVERSE ACQUISITION CANDIDATE: The Company is not currently searching for a
profitable business opportunity. This contingency is disclosed for the
possibility that the Company's intended business might fail. The Company is not
presently a reverse acquisition candidate. Should the Company's business fail,
management does not believe the Company would be able to effectively, under
current laws and regulations, attract capital, and would be required to seek
such an acquisition to achieve profitability for shareholders.
RISK FACTORS THAT MAY AFFECT FUTURE RESULTS AND MARKET PRICE OF STOCK
---------------------------------------------------------------------
The business of the Company involves a number of risks and uncertainties that
could cause actual results to differ materially from results projected in any
forward-looking statement, or statements, made in this report. These risks and
uncertainties include, but are not necessarily limited to the risks set forth
below. The Company's securities are speculative and investment in the Company's
securities involves a high degree of risk and the possibility that the investor
will suffer the loss of the entire amount invested.
LIMITED OPERATING HISTORY; ANTICIPATED LOSSES; UNCERTAINLY OF FUTURE RESULTS
The Company was organized in 1997, and has no operating history upon which an
evaluation of its business and prospects can be based. The Company's prospects
must be evaluated with a view to the risks encountered by a company in an early
stage of development, particularly in light of the uncertainties relating the
acceptance of the Company's business model.
The Company will be incurring costs to develop and market its IT solutions, to
establish marketing relationships, and to build an administrative organization.
There can be no assurance that the Company will be profitable on a quarterly or
annual basis. In addition, as the Company expands its business network and
marketing operations it will likely need to increase its operating expenses,
broaden its customer support capabilities, and increase its administrative
resources. To the extent that such expenses are not subsequently followed by
commensurate revenues, the Company's business, results of operations and
financial condition will be materially adversely affected.
POSSIBLE NEED FOR ADDITIONAL FINANCING
It is possible that revenues from the Company's operations may not be sufficient
to finance its initial operating cost to reach breakeven. If this were to occur,
the Company would need to raise or find additional capital. While the Company
expects to be able to meet its financial obligations for approximately the next
twelve months, there is no assurance that, after such period, the Company will
be operating profitably. If they are not, there can be no assurance that any
required capital will be obtained on terms favorable to the Company. Failure to
obtain adequate additional capital on favorable terms could result in
significant delays in the expansion of new services and market share and could
even result in the substantial curtailment of existing operations and services
to clients.
11
<PAGE>
UNPREDICTABILITY OF FUTURE REVENUES; POTENTIAL FLUCTUATIONS IN QUARTERLY
RESULTS.
As a result of the Company's lack of operating history and the emerging nature
of the market in which it competes, the Company is unable to forecast its
revenues accurately. The Company's current and future expense levels are based
largely on its investment/operating plans and estimates of future revenue and
are to a large extent based on the Company's own estimates. Sales and operating
results generally depend on the volume of, timing of, and ability to obtain
customers, orders for services received, and revenues therefrom generated. These
are, by their nature, difficult at best to forecast.
The Company may be unable to adjust spending in a timely manner to compensate
for any unexpected revenue shortfall or delay. Accordingly, any significant
shortfall or delay in revenue in relation to the Company's planned expenditures
would have an immediate adverse affect on the Company's business, financial
condition, and results of operations. Further, in response to changes in the
competitive environment, the Company may from time to time make certain pricing,
service, or marketing decisions that could have a material adverse effect on the
Company's business, financial condition, operating results, and cash flows.
DEVELOPING MARKET; ACCEPTANCE OF THE INTERNET AS A MEDIUM FOR COMMERCE JUST NOW
BEING PROVEN.
The Company's long-term viability is substantially dependent upon the continued
widespread acceptance and use of the Internet as a medium for business commerce,
in terms of the sales of both products and services to businesses and
individuals. The use of the Internet as a means of business sales and commerce
is has only recently reached a point where many companies are making reasonable
profits from their endeavors therein, and there can be no assurance that this
trend will continue.
The Internet has experienced, and is expected to continue to experience,
significant growth in the number of users and amount of traffic. There can be no
assurance that the Internet infrastructure will continue to be able to support
the demands placed on it by this continued growth. In addition, delays in the
development or adoption of new standards and protocols to handle increased
levels of Internet activity or increased governmental regulation could slow or
stop the growth of the Internet as a viable medium for business commerce.
Moreover, critical issues concerning the commercial use of the Internet
(including security, reliability, accessibility and quality of service) remain
unresolved and may adversely affect the growth of Internet use or the
attractiveness of its use for business commerce.
The failure of the necessary infrastructure to further develop in a timely
manner, or the failure of the Internet to continue to develop rapidly as a valid
medium for business would have a material adverse effect on the Company's
business, financial condition, operating results, and cash flows.
12
<PAGE>
UNPROVEN ACCEPTANCE OF THE COMPANY'S SERVICES AND/OR PRODUCTS
The Company is still in its development stage. As a result, it does not know
with any certainty whether its services and/or products will be accepted within
the business marketplace. If the Company's services and/or products prove to be
unsuccessful within the marketplace, or if the Company fails to attain market
acceptance, it could materially adversely affect the Company's financial
condition, operating results, and cash flows.
DEPENDENCE ON KEY PERSONNEL
The Company's performance and operating results are substantially dependent on
the continued service and performance of its officer and directors. The Company
intends to hire additional technical, sales, and other personnel as they move
forward with their business model. Competition for such personnel is intense,
and there can be no assurance that the Company can retain its key technical
employees, or that it will be able to attract or retain highly qualified
technical and managerial personnel in the future. The loss of the services of
any of the Company's key employees or the inability to attract and retain the
necessary technical, sales, and other personnel could have a material adverse
effect upon the Company's business, financial condition, operating results, and
cash flows. The Company does not currently maintain "key man" insurance for any
of its key employees.
DEPENDENCE ON THE INTERNET
Online companies have experienced interruptions in their services as a result of
outages and other delays occurring due to problems with the Internet network
infrastructure, disruptions in Internet access provided by third-party providers
or failure of third party providers to handle higher volumes of user traffic. If
Internet usage grows, the Internet infrastructure or third-party service
providers may be unable to support the increased demands which may result in a
decline of performance, reliability or ability to access the Internet. If
outages or delays frequently occur in the future, Internet usage, as well as
usage of the Company's Internet Web-sites, could grow more slowly or decline.
COMPETITION
The IT solutions market in which the Company will operate is very competitive.
Many competitors have substantially greater, financial, technical, marketing,
and distribution resources than the Company.
In the all its markets, the Company competes against a large number of companies
of varying sizes and resources. There are an increasing number of competitive
services and products offered by a growing number of companies. Increased
competition in any service or product area may result in a loss of a client,
reduction in sales revenue, or additional price competition, any of which could
have a material adverse effect on the Company's operating results. In addition,
existing competitors may continue to broaden their service and/or product lines
and other potential competitors may enter or increase their presence in the IT
solutions market, resulting in greater competition for the Company.
13
<PAGE>
Most of the Company's current and potential competitors have substantially
longer operating histories, larger customer bases, greater name and service
recognition, and significantly greater financial, marketing, and other resources
than the Company. In addition, competitors may be acquired by, receive
investments from or enter into other commercial relationships with larger,
well-established and well-financed companies as the use of the Internet and
other online services increases. Many of the Company's competitors may be able
to respond more quickly to changes in customer preferences/needs, devote greater
resources to marketing and promotional campaigns, adopt more aggressive pricing
policies and devote substantially more resources to Internet site and systems
development than the Company.
It is possible that new competitors or alliances among competitors may emerge
and rapidly acquire market share. Increased competition may result in reduced
operating margins and/or loss of market share, either of which could materially
adversely affect the Company's business, results of operations and financial
condition. There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to compete
successfully against current or future competitors or alliances of such
competitors, or that competitive pressures faced by the Company will not
materially adversely affect its business, financial condition, operating results
and cash flows.
RISKS OF POTENTIAL GOVERNMENT REGULATION AND OTHER LEGAL UNCERTAINTIES RELATING
TO THE INTERNET
The Company is not currently subject to direct federal, state, or local
regulation in the United States and Canada other than regulations applicable to
businesses generally or directly applicable to electronic commerce. However,
because the Internet is becoming increasingly popular, it is possible that a
number of laws and regulations may be adopted with respect to the Internet.
These laws may cover issues such as user privacy, freedom of expression,
pricing, content, and quality of products and services, taxation, advertising,
intellectual property rights and information security. Furthermore, the growth
of electronic commerce may prompt calls for more stringent consumer protection
laws. The adoption of such consumer protection laws could create uncertainty in
Internet usage and reduce the demand for all products and services.
In addition, the Company is not certain how its business may be affected by the
application of existing laws governing issues such as property ownership,
copyrights, encryption, and other intellectual property issues, taxation, libel,
obscenity, and export or import matters. It is possible that future applications
of these laws to the Company's business could reduce demand for its products and
services or increase the cost of doing business as a result of litigation costs
or increased service delivery costs.
Because the Company's services will likely be available over the Internet in
multiple states, and possibly foreign countries, other jurisdictions may claim
that the Company is required to qualify to do business and pay taxes in each
state or foreign country. The Company's failure to qualify in other
jurisdictions when it is required to do so could subject the Company to
penalties and could restrict the Company's ability to enforce contracts in those
jurisdictions. The application of laws or regulations from jurisdictions whose
laws do not currently apply to the Company's business may have a material
adverse affect on its business, results of operations and financial condition.
14
<PAGE>
INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS
As part of its confidentiality procedures, the Company expects to enter into
nondisclosure and confidentiality agreements with its key employees, and any
consultants and/or business partners and will limit access to and distribution
of its technology, documentation, and other proprietary information.
Despite the Company's efforts to protect any intellectual property rights it may
have, unauthorized third parties, including competitors, may from time to time
copy or reverse-engineer certain portions of the Company's technology and use
such information to create competitive services and/or products.
It is possible that the scope, validity, and/or enforceability of the Company's
intellectual property rights could be challenged by other parties, including
competitors. The results of such challenges before administrative bodies or
courts depend on many factors which cannot be accurately assessed at this time.
Unfavorable decisions by such administrative bodies or courts could have a
negative impact on the Company's intellectual property rights. Any such
challenges, whether with or without merit, could be time consuming, result in
costly litigation and diversion of resources, and cause service or product
delays. If such events should occur, the Company's business, operating results
and financial condition could be materially adversely affected.
RISKS OF TECHNOLOGY TRENDS AND EVOLVING INDUSTRY STANDARDS
The Company's success will depend on its ability to develop Information
Technology solutions that will meet customers' changing requirements. The IT
solutions industry is characterized by rapidly changing technology, evolving
industry standards, and changes in customer need and frequent new service and
product introductions. The Company's future success will depend, in part, on its
ability to effectively use leading edge technologies, to continue to develop its
technological expertise, to enhance its current service, to develop new products
that meet changing customer preferences and to influence and respond to merging
industry standards and other technological changes on a timely and
cost-effective basis.
DEPENDENCE OF LICENSED TECHNOLOGY
The Company may rely on certain technology licensed from third parties, and
there can be no assurance that these third party technology licenses will be
available to the Company on acceptable commercial terms or at all.
ITEM 3. DESCRIPTION OF PROPERTY
The Company is currently operating out of the office of the President of the
Company, Gordon Lee, at Suite 625 - 9800 Sepulveda Boulevard, Los Angeles, CA
90045. The Company currently only occupies the one Suite, however, the entire
facility consists of approximately 65,000 square feet of designated office
space, designed to provide short term/temporary accommodation solution to
emerging and growing businesses. The facility allows businesses to lease spaces
on a project basis or short-term lease until a more permanent solution can be
sought out. The Company believes the ability to expand into these facilities as
the business plan is executed, will be adequate for its current requirements.
15
<PAGE>
The Company's future plans will likely require more permanent additional space
as its business plan progresses. If, and when, this should occur, the Company
will look into expansion into target markets that will be able to financially
support the additional office space and manpower required.

by the Board of Directors, at the time there were no other stockholders. These
shares are restricted since they were issued in compliance with the exemption
from registration provided by Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as
amended. After these shares have been held for one (1) year, the director, noted
above, could sell, in a given period, shares based on 1% of the outstanding
stock of the Company. Therefore, these shares cannot be sold except in
compliance with the provisions of Rule 144. The share certificates registered
has had a legend affixed to it restricting its sale.
17
<PAGE>
ITEM 8. DESCRIPTION OF SECURITIES
The authorized capital stock of the Company consists of fifty million
(50,000,000) shares of Common Stock, par value $0.001. The following summary of
certain provisions of the Common Stock of the Company does not purport to be
complete and is subject to, and qualified in its entirety by, the Articles of
Incorporation and Bylaws of the Company that are included as exhibits to this
Form 10-SB and by the provisions of applicable law.
COMMON STOCK
------------
As of September 11, 2000 there were 5,100,000 shares of Common Stock outstanding
held of record by 36 stockholders. The holders of Common Stock are entitled to
one vote for each share held of record on all matters submitted to a vote of the
holders of Common Stock. Holders of Common Stock are entitled to receive ratably
such dividends as may be declared by the Board of Directors out of funds legally
available therefore. In the event of a liquidation, dissolution or winding up of
the Company, the holders of Common Stock are entitled to share ratably all
assets remaining after payment of liabilities. Holders of Common Stock have no

rights with respect to such shares. All outstanding shares of Common Stock are

TRANSFER AGENT AND REGISTRAR
----------------------------
The transfer agent and registrar for the Common Stock is Interwest Transfer Co.,
Inc., of 1981 East 4800 South, Suite 100, Salt Lake City, UT 84117, Tel. (801)
272-9294.
PART II
ITEM 1. MARKET FOR COMMON EQUITY AND RELATED STOCKHOLDER MATTERS
The Company's Common Shares are currently quoted on the Pink Sheets market under
the ticker symbol ACNI. The Company is not aware of any established trading
market for its Common Stock nor is there any record of any reported trades in
the public market in recent years.
If and when the Company's Common Stock is traded, most likely the shares will be
subject to the provisions of Section 15(g) and Rule 15g-9 of the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the 'Exchange Act"), commonly referred to as
the "penny stock" rule. Section 15(g) sets forth certain requirements for
transactions in penny stocks and Rule 15g9(d)(1) incorporates the definition of
18
<PAGE>
penny stock as that used in Rule 3a5l-l of the Exchange Act. The Commission
generally defines penny stock to be any equity security that has a market price
less than $5.00 per share, subject to certain exceptions. Rule 3a5l-l provides
that any equity security is considered to be a penny stock unless that security
is: registered and traded on a national securities exchange meeting specified
criteria set by the Commission; authorized for quotation on the NASDAQ Stock
Market; issued by a registered investment company; excluded from the definition
on the basis of price (at least $5.00 per share) or the issuer's net tangible
assets; or exempted from the definition by the Commission. If the Company's
shares are deemed to be a penny stock, trading in the shares will be subject to
additional sales practice requirements on broker-dealers who sell penny stocks
to persons other than established customers and accredited investors, generally
persons 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 purchase of
such securities and must have received the purchaser's written consent to the
transaction prior to the purchase. Additionally, for any transaction involving a
penny stock, unless exempt, the rules require the delivery, prior to the first
transaction, of a risk disclosure document 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 stocks held in the account and information on the
limited market in penny stocks. Consequently, these rules may restrict the
ability of broker dealers to trade and/or maintain a market in the Company's
Common Stock and may affect the ability of shareholders to sell their shares.
DIVIDEND POLICY
---------------
The Company has paid no dividends and intends to retain all future earnings, if
any, for use in the development and operation of its business and does not
anticipate paying cash dividends on the Common Stock in the foreseeable future.
ITEM 2. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
The Company is currently not a party to any material pending legal proceedings
and no such action by, or to the best of its knowledge, against the Company has
been threatened.
ITEM 3. CHANGES IN AND DISAGREEMENTS WITH ACCOUNTANTS ON ACCOUNTING AND
FINANCIAL DISCLOSURE
None.
19
<PAGE>
ITEM 4. RECENT SALES OF UNREGISTERED SECURITIES
On or about September 11, 2000, the Company issued 100,000 shares of Common
Stock under Rule 701 of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, for legal and
other services rendered to the Company pursuant to Advisory Agreements dated
September 7, 2000, for $0.10 per share.
ITEM 5. INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS
The Florida Business Act ("Florida Law") permits the indemnification of
officers, directors, and other corporate agents under certain circumstances and
subject to certain limitations. The Registrant's Articles of Incorporation and
Bylaws provide that the Registrant shall indemnify its directors, officers,
employees and agents to the full extent permitted by Florida Law. The Company
has not entered into separate indemnification agreements with its directors and
officers which require the Registrant, among other things, to indemnify them
against certain liabilities which may arise by reason of their status or service
(other than liabilities arising from willful misconduct of a culpable nature).
At present, there is no pending litigation or proceeding involving a director,
officer, employee or other agent of the Registrant in which indemnification is
being sought nor is the Registrant aware of any threatened litigation that my
result in a claim for indemnification by any director, officer, employee or
other agent of the Registrant.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT
----------------------------
Board of Directors July 27, 2000
AMERICAN IDC CORP.
Marina del Rey, California
I have audited the accompanying Balance Sheets of AMERICAN IDC CORP.
(formerly FUTURE PROJECTS VIII CORP.), (A Development Stage Company), as of July
26, 2000, December 31, 1999, and December 31, 19998, and the related statements
of operations, stockholders' equity and cash flows for the period January 1,
2000, to July 26, 2000, and the two years ended December 31, 1999, and December
31, 1998. These Financial Statements are the responsibility of the Company's
management. My responsibility is to express an opinion on these Financial
Statements, based on my audit.
I conducted my audit in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the Financial Statements are free of material
misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting
the amounts and disclosures in the Financial Statements. An audit also includes
assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by
management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.
I believe that my audit provides a reasonable basis for my opinion.
In my opinion, the Financial Statements referred to above present
fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of AMERICAN IDC CORP.
(formerly FUTURE PROJECTS VIII CORP.), (A development Stage Company, as of July
26, 2000, December 31, 1999, and December 31, 1998, and the results of its
operations and cash flows for the period January 1, 2000, to July 26, 2000, and
the two years ended December 31, 1999, and December 31, 1998, in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles.
The accompanying Financial Statements have been prepared assuming the
Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note #5 in the "Notes
to the Financial Statements," the Company has had no operations and has no
established source of revenue. This raises substantial doubt about its ability
to continue as a going concern. Management's plan, in regard to these matters,
is also described in Note #5. The Financial Statements do not include any
adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

NOTE #2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
ACCOUNTING METHOD
-----------------
The Company records income and expenses on the accrual method.
ESTIMATES
---------
The preparation of financial statements, in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles, requires management
to make estimates and assumptions which affect the reported
amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent
assets and liabilities, at the date of the Financial
Statements, and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses
during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from
those estimates.
CASH AND EQUIVALENTS
--------------------
The Company maintains a cash balance in a non-interest-bearing
bank, which currently does not exceed federally insured
limits. For the purpose of the statements of cash flows, all
highly liquid investments, with the maturity of three months
or less, are considered to be cash equivalents. There are no
cash equivalents as of December 31, 1999, or July 26, 2000.
INCOME TAXES
------------
Income taxes are provided for using the liability method of
accounting in accordance with Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards No. 109 (SFAS #109) "Accounting for
Income Taxes". A deferred tax asset or liability is recorded
for all temporary difference between financial and tax
reporting. Deferred tax expense (benefit) results from the net
change during the year of deferred tax assets and liabilities.

REPORTING ON COSTS OF START-UP ACTIVITIES
-----------------------------------------
Statement of Position 98-5 ("SOP 98-5"), "Reporting on the
Costs of Start-Up Activities," which provides guidance on the
financial reporting of start-up costs and organization costs.
It requires most costs of start-up activities and organization
costs to be expensed, as incurred. SOP 98-5 is effective for

the Company's Financial Statements.
LOSS PER SHARE
--------------
Net loss per share is provided in accordance with Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 128 (SFAS #128) "Earnings
Per Share". Basic loss per share is computed by dividing
losses available to common stockholders by the weighted
average number of common shares outstanding during the period.
Diluted loss per share reflects per share amounts that would
have resulted if dilative common stock equivalents had been
converted to common stock. As of July 26, 2000, the Company
had no dilative common stock equivalents such as stock
options.
YEAR END
--------
The Company has selected December 31st, as its year-end.
YEAR 2000 DISCLOSURE
--------------------
The Y2K issue had no effect on this Company.
POLICY IN REGARDS TO ISSUANCE OF COMMON STOCK IN A NON-CASH TRANSACTION
-----------------------------------------------------------------------

non-cash transaction is to issue the equivalent amount of
stock equal to the fair market value of the assets or services
received.

NOTE #3 - INCOME TAXES
There is no provision for income taxes for the period ended July 26,
2000. The Company's total deferred tax asset, as of December 31, 1999,
is as follows:
Net operation loss carry-forward $ 2,800
Valuation allowance $ 2,800
Net deferred tax asset $ 0
The federal net operating loss carry-forward will expire between the
years 2017 and 2019.
This carry-forward may be limited upon the consummation of a business
combination under IRC Section 381.
NOTE #4 - STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY
COMMON STOCK
------------
The authorized common stock of the Company consists of 50,000,000
shares, with a par value of $0.001 per share.
PREFERRED STOCK
---------------
AMERICAN IDC CORP. has no preferred stock.
On June 3, 1997, the Company issued 5,000,000 shares of its $0.001 par
value common stock for services for $2,000.
NOTE #5 - GOING CONCERN
The Company's Financial Statements are prepared using generally
accepted accounting principles applicable to a going concern, which
contemplates the realization of assets and liquidation of liabilities
in the normal course of business. However, the Company has no current
source of revenue. Without realization of additional capital, it would
be unlikely for the Company to continue as a going concern. It is
management's plan to seek additional capital through a merger with an
existing operating company.

future, become involved in other business opportunities. If a specific
business opportunity becomes available, such persons may face a
conflict in selecting between the Company and their other business
interests. The Company has not formulated a policy for the resolution
of such conflicts.
NOTE #7 WARRANTS AND OPTIONS
There are no warrants or options outstanding to acquire any additional
shares of common stock.
NOTE #8 - OFFICERS ADVANCES
