PART I

ITEM 1. DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS.

Fifth Avenue Acquisition I Corp. (the "Company") was incorporated on August 14, 2000 under the laws of the State of Florida to engage in any lawful business activity, including, but not limited to, entering into one or more selected agreements and/or plans of merger or acquisitions. The Company has been in the developmental stage since inception and has no operations to date other than issuing shares to its original shareholders. The Company may sometimes be referred to as "we", "us", "our" among other such words as may be appropriate

We will attempt to locate and negotiate with a third party business entity for the combination of such entity with and into the Company or a duly organized subsidiary (the "Transaction"). The Transaction should be expected to take the form of a merger, stock-for-stock exchange or stock-for-assets exchange and the resulting Transaction should be deemed to be within the definition of a tax-free reorganization under Section 351 or Section 368 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended.

No assurances can be given that we will be able to locate and then negotiate a Transaction with any entity, or that any such Transaction will result in a successful operating entity.

The Company has been formed to become a reporting ("public") company under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the "Exchange Act") with a class of registered securities, and thereafter to conclude a Transaction that will result in an operating entity.

POTENTIAL ADVANTAGES AND DISADVANTAGES OF BEING A REPORTING COMPANY

There are certain perceived advantages of being a reporting company under the Exchange Act. These are commonly thought to include the following:

- enhanced corporate exposure in the financial and investment community;

- availability of information required under Rule 144 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Act"), to permit the   sale of eligible securities under the Act;

- compliance with applicable requirements of the NASD for the quotation of securities on the OTC Bulletin Board or other securities markets, as may be applicable;

- enhancing the Company’s ability to secure debt and/or equity financing from financial institutions and third parties;

- creating market liquidity for the Company’s securities; and

- compensation of key employees, officers, directors and individual consultants through stock options and stock incentives.

There are also certain perceived disadvantages that can result from being a reporting company under the Exchange Act, which include, among others, the following:

- requirement for audited financial statements on an annual basis which must be filed on a timely basis with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC");

- required publication of material and current corporate information;

- required timely filings with the SEC of annual, quarterly and periodic reports under the Exchange Act; and

- compliance with other rules and regulations applicable to corporate governance for public reporting companies.

FORM 10-SB/12g REGISTRATION DOES NOT CONSTITUTE AN INITIAL PUBLIC OFFERING

The filing with the SEC of a registration statement under the Exchange Act on Form 10-SB/12g, which is declared effective by the SEC, involves the registration of a class of securities under the Exchange Act. This registration under the Exchange Act results in the obligation to file reports under the Exchange Act, including Form 10-KSB (Annual Report), Forms 10-QSB (Quarterly Reports), and Forms 8-K (Periodic Reports). This registration on Form 10-SB/12g/12g does not constitute a filing of a registration statement for an initial public offering ("IPO") under the Act. An IPO, which is declared effective by the SEC under the Act, may provide for the public distribution of securities by a company, and/or issuance and registration for public resale by selling shareholders of such company’s securities. However, certain private companies seeking to enter into a Transaction may find that a Transaction that involves the registration of a class of securities under the Exchange Act, through the filing of Form 10-SB/12g, is more attractive than an IPO for various reasons, which may include the following:

- difficulties in obtaining an underwriter for an IPO at acceptable terms;

- higher costs, including professional legal and accounting fees, underwriting expenses and other costs associated with an IPO;

- possible delays that may occur in the process of preparing, filing and having declared effective by the SEC an IPO registration statement under the Act;

- potential dilution in the equity ownership based upon the issuance and sale of securities by an entity in an IPO; and

- dependence upon any underwriter’s net capital in an amount sufficient to permit an underwriter to give a firm commitment related to the underwriting of an IPO.

On the other hand, certain private companies may find a Transaction that does not include an IPO to be less attractive than an IPO of their securities. Reasons for this may include, among others, the following:

- no investment capital being raised for operations from a registration and sale of securities under the Act;

- no underwriter to create and hopefully sustain a trading market in the registered securities; and

- dependence upon market makers having no established relationship with the entity, resulting from a Transaction to enter quotations reflecting the bid and asked price of such public entity’s securities on a regular basis.

POTENTIAL ENTITIES FOR A BUSINESS COMBINATION TRANSACTION

Reasons for a private business entity to be interested in a Transaction with us may include, among others, the following:

- the ability to use our securities as a public reporting company for the future acquisition of assets and/or other businesses;

- the increased likelihood of being able to find an underwriter for a subsequent IPO or other offering of securities under the Act after a Transaction and becoming a reporting company at terms more acceptable and/or advantageous than would otherwise be available to a private company;

- being able to become a public reporting company under the Exchange Act with less dilution of its equity securities;

- the potential for securing investment capital, whether debt or equity, at terms more favorable than those available to a private company; and

- being able to attract and retain key employees by having available a stock option and/or stock incentive plan with securities registered under the Exchange Act.

We have not yet identified any potential target company with which we would entertain a Transaction, nor have we commenced review or consideration of any private company for such purpose. Nor can there be any assurance as to when or whether we will be successful in entering into any such Transaction. However, we expect that any Transaction will normally involve the transfer to the target private operating company of the majority of our issued and outstanding common stock, and the replacement of our management including control of the board of directors to persons designated by the owners and management of the private company.

No assurances can be given that we will be able to enter into a successful Transaction at terms acceptable to us, nor can we predict with any certainty the terms of any future Transaction. Further, we have no predetermined plan regarding the nature of the business of any future target company nor any particular industry in which such target private company may operate.

Our proposed business activities described herein will result in our being classified under applicable SEC rules as a "blank check" company. The SEC and certain states have enacted statutes, rules and regulations limiting the sale of securities of blank check companies. We do not intend to issue or sell additional shares or take steps to cause a market to develop in our securities until such time as we shall have successfully concluded a Transaction. Following such a Transaction, it should be expected that we shall no longer be classified by the SEC as a blank check company.

The principal shareholders of the Company have executed and delivered a "lock-up" agreement affirming that they will not sell or otherwise transfer their shares except in connection with or following a Transaction resulting in our Company no longer being classified as a blank check company.

We have elected to voluntarily file this Form 10-SB/12g registration statement with the SEC although we are under no present obligation to do so under the Exchange Act. We undertake to voluntarily continue to file all reports required under the Exchange Act until a Transaction has occurred, and will engage the services of qualified professionals in addition to CR Capital Services, Inc. ("CRCS"), a Florida corporation having the same officers, directors and shareholders as the company, in order to prepare and file all such reports on a timely basis.

A Transaction will normally result in a change in control and management of the Company. We intend that in connection with a Transaction to continue to be a reporting company under the Exchange Act, and will continue to file reports under the Exchange Act both prior to any following a Transaction. However, there can be no assurance that we will be able to continue to remain timely, which will be dependent upon continued funding from CRCS and the business, financial conditions and results of operations of the entity being acquired in the Transaction.

Thomas J. Craft, Jr., Richard Rubin and Ivo Heiden, at present are our sole officers, directors and shareholders. They are also the sole officers, directors and shareholders of CRCS. We have at present no employees nor are there any other persons than our officers/directors who devote any of their time to our affairs. Further, we have no present intention or plan to hire any employees or consultants. All references herein to our management are to our three officers/directors. The inability at any time of our management to devote sufficient attention to our business and business plan could have a material adverse impact on our operations.

GLOSSARY

"Blank Check" Company: As used herein, a "blank check" company is a development stage company that has no specific business plan or purpose or has indicated that its business plan is to engage in a merger or acquisition with an unidentified company or companies.

Business Combination Transaction: As used herein, such term may be expected to include a merger, stock-for-stock exchange or stock-for-assets exchange between the Company as the Registrant and a target company not yet identified.

The Company: Fifth Avenue Acquisition I Corp., whose common stock is the subject of this Registration Statement under the Exchange Act.

Exchange Act: The Securities Exchange Act of 1934.

Act: The Securities Act of 1933, as amended.

RISK FACTORS ASSOCIATED WITH BLANK CHECK COMPANIES

Our business, as a blank check company, is subject to numerous risk factors, including, among others, the following:

WE HAVE NO OPERATING HISTORY, NO REVENUES AND ONLY NOMINAL ASSETS.

We have only recently been organized and have no operating history, nor any revenues or operations. We have only limited assets and financial resources, which reflect the initial capitalization of $1,000 provided by CRCS in partial consideration for the issuance of 1,000,000 shares of common stock at a par value of $.001. In addition to the capitalization provided by CRCS, such firm has provided and will continue to provide corporate securities services. To date, our principal shareholders, through CRCS, have paid in capital and provided additional funds, which have been used to fund the costs necessary to prepare and file this registration statement on Form 10-SB/12g including the professional fees paid to our independent public accountant (See "Notes to Financial Statements"), and as a result we have operated at a loss to date. We will, in all likelihood, continue to depend on funding from CRCS for our general and administrative expenses, including accounting fees, without generating any revenues. These expenses shall be associated with the preparation and filing of reports under the Exchange Act. CRCS has agreed to provide necessary funding at least until the consummation of a Transaction. At the time of such Transaction, we will negotiate on an arm’s length basis with the entity to be acquired in the Transaction the terms, if any, regarding any repayment to CRCS or the conversion by CRCS into equity in consideration for CRCS’s advances. To date, expenses of approximately $1,961 have been incurred by CRCS for the pre-organization, professional fees and other expenses associated with the formation of the Company and the preparation of this Form-10SB.

SAFE HARBOR COMPLIANCE STATEMENT FOR FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS.

Reference is made to Exhibit 99 (i) regarding The Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 (the "Litigation Reform Act"). The Litigation Reform Act permits the Company to make "forward looking statements" as that term is defined therein, which "forward looking statements" are included in this Form 10-SB/12g.

COMPANY HAS THREE DIRECTORS AND THREE OFFICERS.

The Company's president is Thomas J. Craft, Jr., its vice-president is Ivo Heiden and its corporate secretary is Richard Rubin. They are also our sole directors and shareholders. The decision to enter into a Transaction may be made without detailed independent feasibility studies, analysis, market surveys or similar independent sources of information ("Independent Studies"). If we had more funds available, it may be deemed advantageous for us to conduct or secure Independent Studies. While the officers/directors collectively intend to devote only a limited amount of time per month to the business of the Company, they will fulfill their management obligations until a Transaction is concluded. While CRCS has agreed to provide continuing corporate securities services to the Company, the individual officers/directors of the Company have not entered into a written employment agreements with the Company and are not expected to do so. As a result, we have not obtained key man life insurance on such persons nor do we intend to do so. The loss of the services of our officers/directors could adversely affect the fulfillment of our business plan to negotiate and conclude a Transaction and continue to remain a reporting entity under the Exchange Act, unless such individual(s) were replaced.

CONFLICTS OF INTEREST.

Our officers/directors presently participate in other business activities, including providing third parties with corporate securities services, which will reduce the time they have available to devote to the Company. However, we do not believe at present that such activities will compete directly with the business plan of the Company. Additional conflicts of interest and non-arms length transactions may also arise in the future. However we have adopted a policy that we will not enter into a Transaction with any entity in which any member of management serves as an officer, director, or control person, or in which such person or such person's affiliates or associates hold any ownership interest. The terms of Transaction may include, among other provisions, one or more remaining as a director or officer of the post-Transaction entity and/or CRCS continuing to provide corporate securities services for such entity. The terms of a Transaction may provide for a payment by cash or other consideration to our present shareholders for the purchase or retirement of all or part of their common stock by a target company. Further, pursuant to a services agreement between the Company and CRCS, which is owned and controlled by our management, CRCS has agreed to provide continued corporate securities and consulting services following a Transaction for a period of two years at terms and conditions to be determined in connection with the Transaction. The services agreement between the Company and CRCS may also be deemed to constitute a conflict of interest because of the common control between the Company and CRCS and the benefits that may be derived by CRCS following the conclusion of the Transaction. See the discussion under "Conflicts of Interest" below and exhibit 10 (i), which is the entire service agreement. While CRCS intends to organize other blank check companies in the future, this is the first such entity organized by CRCS and by Messrs. Craft, Heiden and Rubin with respect to which it has filed a Form 10-SB/12g.

Our present management and/or CRCS would directly benefit from any continued employment, received payment from the entity resulting from any Transaction. Such benefits may influence the management's choice of a target company. The Articles of Incorporation of the Company provides that the Company may indemnify officers and/or directors of the Company for liabilities, which can include liabilities arising under the securities laws. Therefore, assets of the Company could be used or attached to satisfy any liabilities subject to such indemnification under certain conditions.

See "ITEM 5. DIRECTORS, EXECUTIVE OFFICERS, PROMOTERS AND CONTROL PERSONS - Conflicts of Interest." below.

THE PROPOSED PLAN OF OPERATIONS OF THE COMPANY CONTAINS A HIGH DEGREE OF RISK.

The success of our proposed plan of operation will depend to a great extent on the operations, financial condition and management of an as yet unidentified target company. While a Transaction with entities having established operating histories are preferred, there can be no assurance that we will be successful in locating candidates meeting certain criteria. In the event that we complete a Transaction, our future success and any successful operations, if any, will be dependent upon management of the target company and numerous other factors beyond our control. There is no assurance that we will be able to identify a target company and consummate a Transaction with a desired target company at acceptable terms and conditions.

PURCHASE OF PENNY STOCKS INVOLVES A HIGH DEGREE OF RISK.

In the event that a public market develops for our securities following a Transaction, of which there can be no assurance, such securities may be classified as a penny stock depending upon their market price and the manner in which they are traded. The Securities and Exchange Commission has adopted Rule 15g-9 under the Exchange Act, which establishes the definition of a "penny stock" as any equity security that has a market price of less than $5.00 per share or with an exercise price of less than $5.00 per share whose securities are admitted to quotation but do not trade on the NASDAQ SmallCap Market or on a national securities exchange. For any transaction involving a penny stock, unless exempt, the rules require delivery of a document to investors and purchasers stating the risks associated with such security, special suitability inquiry, regular reporting and other requirements. Current quotations of the price of penny stocks are often not available and investors are often unable to readily liquidate and trade sell securities defined as such penny stocks. Thus an investor may lose his entire investment in a penny stock and consequently investors should carefully consider of any purchase of penny stocks and be aware of the risks associated with any such investment.

THERE IS A SCARCITY OF AND COMPETITION FOR BUSINESS OPPORTUNITIES AND COMBINATIONS.

We are and will continue to be an insignificant participant in the business of seeking mergers with and acquisitions of operating business entities. A large number of established and well-financed entities, including venture capital firms, are active in seeking mergers and acquisitions of operating companies, some of which may also be potential merger or acquisition target candidates for the Company. Nearly all such entities targeting business acquisition Transactions have significantly longer operating history, greater financial resources, technical expertise and managerial capabilities than we have and, consequently, we will be at a competitive disadvantage in identifying possible business opportunities and successfully completing a negotiation of a Transaction at acceptable terms. Moreover, we will also compete with numerous other small public companies, including Blank Check companies, in seeking merger or acquisition candidates.

THERE IS NO PENDING AGREEMENT FOR A TRANSACTION AND NO MINIMUM REQUIREMENTS FOR A TRANSACTION.

We have no current agreement or understanding with any party regarding any Transaction, nor are we in any negotiations for such purpose. There can be no assurance that we will be successful in identifying and evaluating suitable business opportunities or in concluding any Transaction. At this time, we have not identified any particular industry nor any specific business within any industry in order to possibly pursue a target company for a Transaction. We have not established a specific length of operating history nor any specified level of earnings, assets, net worth or other criteria which we will require for any potential target company, nor have we set any limits below which we would not consider a Transaction. Accordingly, it is possible that we may elect to enter into a Transaction with a business entity having no significant or only limited operating history, may have cumulative deficit and operating or other losses, limited or no potential for immediate earnings, limited assets, negative net worth or other characteristics which may be considered negative by the investment community. There is no assurance that we will be able to negotiate a Transaction at favorable terms and conditions, if at all.

REPORTING REQUIREMENTS MAY DELAY OR PRECLUDE ACQUISITION.

Pursuant to the requirements of Section 13 of the Exchange Act, following the effective date of this Form 10-SB/12g, we will be required to provide certain information about significant acquisitions and other material events, and will be required to file Quarterly Reports on Form 10-QSB and Annual Reports on Form 10-KSB, which latter report must contain our audited financial statements. Further, following any Transaction, as a reporting company under the Exchange Act, we will be required to file a report on Form 8-K or other form appropriate under the Exchange Act, which contains audited financial statements of the acquired company. These audited financial statements must be filed with the SEC within 60 days following the filing of Form 8-k. While obtaining audited financial statements for the two previous fiscal years are typically the economic responsibility of the target company, it is possible that a potential target company will lack the financial resources and professional accounting services to complete such audited financial statements in a timely manner, if at all. In such event, we may elect to finance the expense of preparation of the audited financial statements of a target company. At this time, we do not have the financial resources to fund the costs and expenses associated with the completion of such audited financial statements. If we elect to fund such audit expense, we will be dependent upon the ability of CRCS and its shareholders to provide or otherwise secure the financing in order to timely complete the required filing under the Exchange Act. The additional time and costs that may be incurred by some potential target companies to prepare such audited financial statements may significantly delay or essentially preclude consummation of an otherwise desirable Transaction. Acquisition prospects that do not have or are unable to obtain the required audited statements may not be appropriate for acquisition so long as the reporting requirements of the Exchange Act are applicable, which requirements shall apply to the Company following the effective date of this Form 10-SB/12g. Notwithstanding a target company's agreement to obtain audited financial statements within the required time frame, such audited financial statements may not be available to us in a timely manner in connection with a Transaction. In the event where audited financial statements are unavailable, we could be in position where we will have to rely upon unaudited financial statements and other information that has not been verified by outside auditors in making its decision to engage in a Transaction. This risk increases the prospect that a Transaction with such a business entity might prove to be an unfavorable one for the Company, and would likely preclude our ability to have a trading market develop and be sustained for our securities.

LACK OF MARKET RESEARCH OR MARKETING ORGANIZATION.

To date, we have neither conducted, nor have others made available to us market research indicating that demand exists for any contemplated Transaction. Even in the event that a demand may exist for a Transaction, there is no assurance that we will be successful in completing any such Transaction.

REGULATION UNDER INVESTMENT COMPANY ACT.

In the event we engage in a Transaction which result in our holding passive investment interests in a number of entities, although that is not our intention, we could become subject to the regulations under the Investment Company Act of 1940. "Passive investment interests", as defined in the Investment Company Act, essentially means investments held by persons who do not provide any type of management and/or consulting services nor are not involved in the business entity in which we shall hold securities. In such event, we would be required to register as an investment company, which would involve our incurring significant registration and compliance costs under the Investment Company Act. We have obtained no formal determination nor have requested any ruling or interpretation from the SEC as to our status or potential status under the Investment Company Act of 1940. Consequently, any violation by us of the Investment Company Act, whether intentional or inadvertent, could subject the Company to material adverse consequences.

PROBABLE CHANGE IN CONTROL AND MANAGEMENT.

A Transaction involving the issuance of our common stock or other equity will, in all likelihood, result in shareholders of a target company obtaining a controlling interest in the Company. As a condition of the Transaction agreement, CRCS, the control person of the Company, and Messrs. Craft, Heiden and Rubin, may agree to sell or transfer all or a portion of the common stock so to provide the target company with all or majority control of the surviving entity. The resulting change in control of the Company will likely result in removal of the present officers and directors of the Company and a corresponding reduction in or elimination of their participation in our future affairs and operations. The services agreement between the Company and CRCS, discussed more fully below and attached as exhibit 10 (i) hereto, may survive or be terminated in connection with the conclusion with a Transaction.

POSSIBLE DILUTION OF NET TANGIBLE BOOK VALUE OF SHARES UPON A TRANSACTION.

A Transaction normally will involve the issuance of a significant number of additional shares. Depending upon the value of the assets acquired in such Transaction, the per share net tangible book value of our common stock may increase or decrease, perhaps significantly.

TAXATION.

Federal and state tax consequences will, in all likelihood, be major considerations in our consideration of any potential Transaction. Currently, under applicable federal and state tax law provisions, Transactions may be structured so as to result in tax-free treatment to both the acquiring and acquired companies and their respective shareholders. Our management intends to structure any Transaction in order to minimize the federal and state tax consequences. However, there can be no assurance that such Transaction will satisfy the statutory requirements of a tax-free reorganization or that the parties will obtain the intended tax-free treatment upon a transfer of stock or assets. A non-qualifying reorganization could result in the imposition of both federal and state taxes which may have an adverse effect on both parties to the Transaction or may result in our failure to successfully conclude a desired Transaction.

COMPUTER SYSTEMS REDESIGNED FOR YEAR 2000.

At present we do not have operations, but we do utilize the computer systems and resources of CRCS, which systems are Year 2000 Compliant. Before we enter into any Transaction, we will inquire as to the status of any target company's Year 2000 Problems, if any, and the steps such target company has taken or intends to take to correct any such problem in order to become Year 2000 Compliant as well as the probable impact on such target company of any computer disruption. However, there can be no assurance that we will not determine to enter into a Transaction with a target company that is not Year 2000 Compliant, has uncorrected Year 2000 Problems or that any planned Year 2000 Problem corrections will be sufficient. The extent of the Year 2000 Problems of a target company may be impossible to accurately ascertain and any adverse impact on the Company will likely be difficult or impossible to predict. If we do not predetermine the Year 2000 Problems and Year 2000 Compliance readiness of a target company, or if a target company is unsure of its own readiness or vulnerability, then we may suffer significant adverse consequences if the disruptions predicted by the Year 2000 Problems materialize and are not promptly corrected.

ITEM 2. PLAN OF OPERATION

SEARCH FOR TARGET COMPANY

Our plan is to enter into a Transaction with a target company in exchange for the issuance of shares of our common stock. We have not engaged in any negotiations with any specific entity regarding the possibility of a Transaction, nor engaged the services of any independent third party for such purpose. We have entered into a services agreement with CRCS, which is a controlling affiliate of the Company, to provide us with corporate securities services, engage an independent public accounting firm to audit the financial statements of the Company filed herewith, and seek out third parties to assist in the search for target companies as potential candidates for a Transaction. The services agreement between the Company and CRCS will continue for a period of two years, subject to the terms of a Transaction. Such Transaction may result in the termination or amendment of the service agreement with CRCS. CRCS has agreed to pay all expenses in connection with the organization of the Company, the preparation and filing of this Form 10-SB/12g, and the fees and expenses of engaging an independent public accounting firm. CRCS has also agreed to fund the expenses associated with the preparation and filing of any Quarterly Reports on Form 10-QSB and Annual Report on Form 10-KSB, as required under the Exchange Act. Any terms of repayment will be subject to the terms and conditions of any Transaction.

Our management team is Thomas J. Craft, Jr., president, Ivo Heiden, vice president and Richard Rubin, corporate secretary, who are also the sole directors of the Company and the sole shareholders of CRCS. The Company's agreement with CRCS is not exclusive and therefore CRCS may enter into agreements with other companies, including blank check companies that have been organized and are similar to the Company, on comparable or different terms than those contained in the CRCS services agreement with the Company. CRCS may provide corporate securities services and advice to potential target companies incident to and following a Transaction, and receive payment for such assistance from target companies. In such event, it may be deemed to involve a conflict of interest, which would be disclosed in all appropriate filings and reports with the SEC, including any amendment to this Form 10-SB/12g.

CRCS or the Company may enter into agreements with non-affiliated third party consultants to assist in locating a target company. It may be anticipated that such other consultants may also be issued shares of the Company, either by transfer from CRCS or directly by the Company pursuant to the provisions and in compliance with applicable federal and state securities laws. There is no minimum or maximum amount of stock, options, or cash consideration that the Company may grant, pay or agree to issue to such third party consultants.

CRCS anticipates that it may seek to locate a target company through solicitation. Such solicitation may include newspaper or magazine advertisements, mailings and other distributions to law firms, accounting firms, investment bankers, financial advisors and similar persons, the use of one or more World Wide Web sites and similar methods. No estimate can be made as to the number of persons who may be contacted or solicited. To date, CRCS has not utilized solicitation, does not anticipate that it will do so, and expects to rely solely on referrals of potential target companies from professionals, including consultants, in the business and financial communities.

CRCS, a Florida company, as noted above, specializes in corporate securities and corporate law, and as such, is regularly in communication with numerous persons, including corporate officers, attorneys, accountants, financial advisors, brokers, dealers, investment and financial advisors and others. Some of these individuals and entities may be interested in utilizing the services of the CRCS for their own companies or clients in regard to a wide variety of possible securities-related work including negotiation and preparation and filing of documentation involving mergers, acquisitions, IPO’s, secondary stock distributions, or other services and activities. It is possible over time that certain of the companies or clients represented by such persons and entities may develop into possible target companies or may independently engage CRCS to perform services unrelated to the Company.

MANAGEMENT OF THE COMPANY

The Company has no full time employees. Thomas J. Craft, Jr., Richard Rubin and Ivo Heiden, at present, are our sole officers, directors and shareholders. The member of Management are also the controlling shareholders of CRCS. The member of Management have agreed to allocate a portion of their time to the activities of the Company, including pursuit of a Transaction. As a result potential conflicts may arise with respect to the time commitment by the Management and the potential demands of the Company's activities.

The amount of time devoted by the Management on the activities of the Company cannot be predetermined. Such time may vary widely from an extensive amount when reviewing a potential target company and effecting a Transaction to an essentially passive role when activities of Management focus elsewhere, or some amount in between. It is impossible to state with any precision the exact amount of time the Management will actually be required to spend to locate a suitable target company and negotiate a Transaction. The Management estimates that the business plan of the Company can be implemented by devoting cumulatively approximately 10 to 15 hours per month over the course of several months but such figure cannot be stated with precision.

GENERAL BUSINESS PLAN

Our purpose is to seek, investigate and, if such investigation warrants, acquire an interest in or 100% of another business entity, previously defined as a Transaction, which entity desires to pursue the perceived advantages of a Transaction with a corporation which has a class of securities registered under the Exchange Act. We will not restrict our search to any specific business, industry, or geographical location and we may participate in a business venture of virtually any kind or nature. We anticipate that we may be able to participate in only one potential business venture because at present we have only nominal assets and limited financial and personnel resources. Reference is made to the financial statement and the notes to the financial statements that are included as part of this Form 10-SB/12g registration statement. This lack of diversification should be considered a substantial risk to our investors.

We may seek to enter into a Transaction with an entity which has recently commenced operations, or which wishes to utilize the public marketplace in order to raise additional capital in order to expand into new products or markets, to develop a new product or service, or for other corporate purposes.

We anticipate that the selection of a business opportunity and Transaction in which we elect to participate may involve a high degree of risk. Management believes (but has not conducted any research to confirm) that there are business entities seeking the perceived benefits of a Transaction with a reporting corporation. Such perceived benefits may include those discussed under "POTENTIAL ENTITIES FOR A BUSINESS COMBINATION TRANSACTION" above. Included among such perceived benefits are: the ability to use our securities as a public reporting company for the future acquisition of assets and/or other businesses; the increased likelihood of being able to find an underwriter for a subsequent IPO or other offering of securities under the Act after a Transaction and becoming a reporting company at terms more acceptable and/or advantageous than would otherwise be available to a private company; being able to become a public reporting company under the Exchange Act with less dilution of its equity securities; the potential for securing investment capital, whether debt or equity, at terms more favorable than those available to a private company; and being able to attract and retain key employees by having available a stock option and/or stock incentive plan with securities registered under the Exchange Act.

Business opportunities may be available in many different industries and at various stages of development, all of which will make the task of comparative investigation and analysis of such business opportunities and potential target companies difficult and complex for us.

We do not have, nor do we anticipate having, working capital or other liquid assets to provide to the owners and operators of target companies. However, management believes that we will be able to offer owners and operators of target companies the opportunity to acquire a controlling ownership interest in us as a reporting company under the Exchange Act, without incurring the costs and time typically required to complete an IPO. However, we have not conducted market research and are not aware of statistical data to support the perceived benefits of a Transaction by a target company.

Analysis of potential target companies will be undertaken by our Management team, non of whom are professional business analysts or appraisers. In analyzing prospective target companies, we may consider among other information regarding the target company, the following: its available technical, financial and managerial resources; its working capital and other financial requirements; its history of operations, if any; its potential for the future growth in revenues and profits; the nature of its present and potential future competition; the quality and experience of its management; specific risk factors applicable or which may be anticipated to become applicable to its activities; the perceived public recognition or acceptance of its products, services, or other assets; and other relevant factors. This discussion of the proposed criteria is not meant to be restrictive on our virtually unlimited discretion to search for and enter into a Transaction.

Following the effective date of this registration statement on Form 10-SB/12g, we shall be subject to the reporting requirements under the Exchange Act. Included in these requirements is the our requirement to file with the SEC the audited financial statements of the Company together with the acquired target company on a consolidated basis within 60 days following the filing of our Form 8-K reporting the Transaction. The Form 8-K must be filed with the SEC within 15 days following the completion of the Transaction. It is our intention to acquire or merge with a target company for which audited financial statements are available or for which we believe audited financial statements can be obtained within the required period of time. We further intend to reserve the right in any acquisition or merger documentation for the Transaction to void the Transaction if the audited financial statements are not timely available or if the audited financial statements provided do not conform in all material respects to the representations made by the target company.

We will not restrict our search for any specific kind of business entities, but may acquire a venture which is in its development stage, which is already in operation, or in essentially any stage of its business life. It is impossible for us to predict at this time the status of any business in which we may enter into a Transaction, in that such business may need to seek additional capital, may desire to have the of the Company issued in a Transaction be available to be publicly traded, or may seek other perceived advantages which we may offer.

Following a Transaction, we may seek to engage the services of professionals for accounting and legal services, enter into investment banking relationships and agreements for corporate public relations, among other services and arrangements. We may also recommend one or more potential underwriters, financial advisors, or other consultants to provide such services.

A potential target company may have a pre-existing agreements with third-party consultants and others which require that the target company continue to utilize one or more third-party’s services following the conclusion of any Transaction. Additionally, this requirement may be a pre-condition to a target company being presented to us for a potential Transaction. The existence of such a requirement for the continuation of the services of third-parties could be a factor in the selection of a target company.

TERMS OF A TRANSACTION

In implementing a structure for a particular Transaction, we may become a party to a merger, consolidation, reorganization, joint venture, licensing agreement, or other arrangement with another corporation or entity. In connection with a Transaction, it is likely that our present Management and control shareholders will no longer be in control of the Company. In addition, it is likely that our officers and directors will resign, as part of the terms of the Transaction, and be replaced by new officers and directors.

It is anticipated that any securities issued in any such Transaction would be issued in reliance upon exemption from registration under the Act and applicable state securities laws. In some circumstances, however, as a negotiated element of a Transaction, we may agree to register all or a part of such securities issued in a Transaction, as well other securities that we have issued or agree to issue, including shares issued to our present control shareholders, immediately after the Transaction is consummated or at a specified or times thereafter. If such registration occurs, it will be undertaken by the surviving entity after we have entered into an agreement for a Transaction or have consummated a Transaction and are no longer deemed to be a blank check company. The issuance of additional securities and their potential sale into any trading market which may develop in our securities may adversely effect any trading market that may exist, and cause a decline in the market price of our securities in the future, if any such market develops, of which there is no assurance.

While the terms of a Transaction which we may be a party cannot be predicted, it is expected that the parties to any Transaction will desire to avoid the creation of a taxable event. As a result, we believe that we will structure a Transaction in a "tax-free reorganization" under Sections 351 or 368 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended.

With respect to negotiations with a target company, we expect to focus on the percentage of the Company which target company shareholders would acquire in consideration for the acquisition of a target company. Depending upon, among other things, the target company's assets and liabilities, our present shareholders, Messrs. Craft, Rubin and Heiden, will in all likelihood hold a substantially lesser percentage ownership interest in the Company following any Transaction than at present. Any merger or acquisition Transaction that we complete can also be expected to have a significant dilutive effect on the percentage of shares held by all our shareholders immediately preceding the Transaction.

We intent to enter into a Transaction only after appropriate due diligence and the negotiation and execution of appropriate agreements. Although the terms of such agreements cannot be predicted, generally such agreements will require certain representations and warranties of the parties thereto, will contain certain events of default, and set forth the terms of closing and the conditions which must be satisfied by the parties prior to and after such closing among other terms.

To date, has paid on behalf of the Company expenses aggregating approximately $1,961, including incorporation and accounting expenses. We will not borrow any funds to make any payments to the Company's management, or to its affiliates, CRCS. If CRCS ceases or becomes unable to continue to pay our operating expenses, however limited, we may not be able to file with the SEC on a timely manner the periodic reports that will become required under the Exchange Act following the effective date of this registration statement on Form 10-SB/12g, nor we will be able to effectively continue to search for an acquisition target with which to enter into a Transaction. In such event, we would seek alternative sources of funds or services, primarily through the issuance of additional securities.

The Board of Directors has passed a resolution which contains a policy that the Company will not seek a Transaction with any entity in which our officers, director, shareholders or any affiliates or associates serves as an officer or director or holds any ownership interest.

UNDERTAKINGS AND UNDERSTANDINGS REQUIRED OF TARGET COMPANIES

As part of a Transaction agreement, it is our intention to seek and obtain certain representations and warranties from a target company regarding its conduct following the Transaction. Such representations and warranties may include

(i) the agreement of the target company to make all necessary filings and to take all other steps necessary to remain a reporting company under the Exchange Act

(ii) imposing certain restrictions on the timing and amount of the issuance of additional unrestricted shares, including shares registered on Form S-8 or issued pursuant to Regulation S and (iii) giving assurances of ongoing compliance with the Securities Act, the Exchange Act, the General Rules and Regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission, and other applicable laws, rules and regulations.

A prospective target company should be aware that the market price and volume of its securities, when and if listed for secondary trading, may depend in great measure upon the willingness and efforts of successor management to encourage interest in the Company within the United States financial community. The Company does not have the market support of an underwriter that would normally follow a public offering of its securities. Initial market makers are likely to simply post bid and asked prices and are unlikely to take positions in the Company's securities for their own account or customers without active encouragement and a basis for doing so. In addition, certain market makers may take short positions in the Company's securities, which may result in a significant pressure on their market price. The Company may consider the ability and commitment of a target company to actively encourage interest in its securities following a Transaction in deciding whether to enter into a transaction with such company.

A Transaction with the Company separates the process of becoming a public company from the raising of investment capital. As a result, a Transaction with the Company normally will not be a beneficial transaction for a target company whose primary reason for becoming a public company is the immediate infusion of capital. The Company may require assurances from the target company that it has or that it has a reasonable belief that it will have sufficient sources of capital to continue operations following the Transaction. However, it is possible that a target company may give such assurances in error, or that the basis for such belief may change as a result of circumstances beyond the control of the target company.

Prior to completion of a Transaction, the Company will generally require that it be provided with written materials regarding the target company containing such items as a description of products, services and company history; management resumes; financial information; available projections, with related assumptions upon which they are based; an explanation of proprietary products and services; evidence of existing patents, trademarks, or service marks, or rights thereto; present and proposed forms of compensation to management; a description of transactions between such company and its affiliates during relevant periods; a description of present and required facilities; an analysis of risks and competitive conditions; a financial plan of operation and estimated capital requirements; audited financial statements, or if they are not available, unaudited financial statements, together with reasonable assurances that audited financial statements would be able to be produced within a reasonable period of time not to exceed 75 days following the completion of a Transaction; and other information deemed relevant by us.

COMPETITION

We will remain a minor participant among the firms, which engage in the acquisition of business opportunities. There are many established venture capital and financial concerns which have significantly greater financial and personnel resources and technical expertise than us. In view of the Company's combined extremely limited financial resources and limited management availability, we will continue to be at a significant competitive disadvantage compared to the Company's competitors.

ITEM 3. DESCRIPTION OF PROPERTY

We have no properties and at this time have no agreements to acquire any properties. The Company currently uses the offices of CRCS at no cost to the Company. CRCS has agreed to continue this arrangement until the Company completes an acquisition or merger.

ITEM 4. SECURITY OWNERSHIP OF CERTAIN BENEFICIAL OWNERS AND MANAGEMENT.

CURRENT BLANK CHECK COMPANIES

The Management of the Company, is currently not involved with other blank check companies, but considers to get involved in creating additional companies similar to this one.

CONFLICTS OF INTEREST

The Company's officers and directors have organized and expect to organize other companies of a similar nature and with a similar purpose as the Company. Consequently, there are potential inherent conflicts of interest in acting as an officer and director of the Company. In addition, insofar as the Management is engaged in other business activities, the Management may devote only a portion of his time to the Company's affairs.

A conflict may arise in the event that other blank check companies with which the Management is affiliated also actively seeks a target company. However, other blank check companies may differ from the Company in certain items such as place of incorporation, number of shares and shareholders, working capital, types of authorized securities, or other items. It may be that a target company may be more suitable for or may prefer a certain blank check company formed after the Company. In such case, a Transaction might be negotiated on behalf of the more suitable or preferred blank check company regardless of date of formation.

The Management is the principal shareholder of CR Capital Services Inc., a consulting firm located in New York, NY. As such, demands may be placed on the time of the Management, which will detract from the amount of time the Management is able to devote to the Company. The Management intends to devote as much time to the activities of the Company as required. However, should such a conflict arise, there is no assurance that the Management would not attend to other matters prior to those of the Company. The Management estimates that the business plan of the Company can be implemented by devoting an aggregated amount of time of approximately 10 to 25 hours per month over the course of several months but there can be given no assurance to such figure.

The terms of Transaction may include such terms as the Management remains as director or officer of the Company and/or the continuing corporate securities or other related services of the Company being handled by CR Capital Services Inc. of which the member of the Management are the principal shareholders. Terms of a Transaction may provide for a payment by cash or otherwise to CRCS for the purchase or retirement of all or part of its common stock of the Company by a target company or for services rendered in connection to or following a Transaction. The Management would directly benefit from such employment or payment. Such benefits may influence the Management’s choice of a target company. However, the Management’s beneficial and economic interest in other blank check companies with which the Management may become involved is identical.

We will not enter into a Transaction, or acquire any assets of any kind for our securities, in which management of the Company or any affiliates or associates have any interest, direct or indirect.

There are no binding guidelines or procedures for resolving potential conflicts of interest. Failure by management to resolve conflicts of interest in favor of the Company could result in liability of the Management to the Company.

INVESTMENT COMPANY ACT OF 1940

Although we will be subject to regulation under the Securities Act of 1933 and the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, management believes that we will not be subject to regulation under the Investment Company Act of 1940 insofar as we will not be engaged in the business of investing or trading in securities. In the event we engage in Transactions which result in the Company holding passive investment interests in a number of entities we could be subject to regulation under the Investment Company Act of 1940. In such event, we would be required to register as an investment company and could be expected to incur significant registration and compliance costs. We have obtained no formal determination from the Securities and Exchange Commission as to the status of the Company under the Investment Company Act of 1940. Any violation of such Act would subject the Company to material adverse consequences.

ITEM 6. EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION.

The Management does not receive any compensation for serving as the Company’s officers or directors, and they have not received such compensation in the past, are they accruing any compensation pursuant to any individual employment agreements with the Company. However, the Management of the Company anticipates receiving benefits as shareholders of the Company in addition to the compensation and benefits they shall receive as principals of CRCS, which has entered into a services agreement to perform corporate securities services for the Company both before and after the Transaction. See "ITEM 5. DIRECTORS, EXECUTIVE OFFICERS, PROMOTERS AND CONTROL PERSONS Conflicts of Interest".

No retirement, pension, profit sharing, stock option or insurance programs or other similar programs have been adopted by the Company for the benefit of the Management.

ITEM 7. CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS.

The Company has issued a total of 1,000,000 shares of Common Stock to the following control persons for a total of $1,000 in cash:

Mr. Thomas J. Craft, Jr. is an officer, director and shareholder of the Company and of CRCS. With respect to the issuance and sale of shares by the Company to Mr. Craft, the Company relied upon Section 4(2) of the Act.

Mr. Ivo Heiden is an officer, director and shareholder of the Company and a director and shareholder of CRCS. With respect to the issuance and sale of shares by the Company to Mr. Heiden, the Company relied upon Section 4(2) of the Act.

Mr. Richard Rubin is and officer, director, and shareholder of the Company and CRCS. With respect to the issuance and sale of shares by the Company to Mr. Rubin, the Company relied upon Section 4(2) of the Act.

It is the position of the Office of Small Business of the Securities & Exchange Commission (per No Action Letter, NASD Regulation, Inc., dated January 21, 2000) that Rule 144 is not available for resale transactions involving securities sold by promoters and affiliates of a blank check company, and their transferees, and anyone else who has been issued securities from a blank check company, and that securities issued by a blank check company to promoters and affiliates, and their transferees, can only be resold through registration under the Securities Act.

ITEM 8. DESCRIPTION OF SECURITIES.

The authorized capital stock of the Company consists of 20,000,000 shares of common stock, par value $.001 per share, of which there are 1,000,000 shares of common stock issued and outstanding. The following statements relating to the capital stock set forth the material terms of the Company's securities; however, reference is made to the more detailed provisions of, and such statements are qualified in their entirety by reference to, the Certificate of Incorporation and the By-laws, copies of which are filed as exhibits to this registration statement.

COMMON STOCK

Holders of shares of common stock are entitled to one vote for each share on all matters to be voted on by the stockholders. Holders of common stock do not have cumulative voting rights. Holders of common stock are entitled to share ratably in dividends, if any, as may be declared from time to time by the Board of Directors in its discretion from funds legally available therefor. In the event of a liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company, the holders of common stock are entitled to share pro rata all assets remaining after payment in full of all liabilities. All of the outstanding shares of common stock are fully paid and non-assessable. Holders of common stock have no preemptive rights to purchase the Company's common stock. There are no conversion or redemption rights or sinking fund provisions with respect to the common stock.

DIVIDENDS

Dividends, if any, will be contingent upon the Company's revenues and earnings, if any, capital requirements and financial conditions. The payment of dividends, if any, will be within the discretion of the Company's Board of Directors. The Company presently intends to retain all earnings, if any, for use in its business operations and accordingly, the Board of Directors does not anticipate declaring any dividends prior to a Transaction.

TRADING OF SECURITIES IN SECONDARY MARKET

The National Securities Market Improvement Act of 1996 limited the authority of states to impose restrictions upon sales of securities made pursuant to Sections 4(1) and 4(3) of the Securities Act of companies which file reports under Sections 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act. Upon effectiveness of this registration statement, the Company will be required to, and will, file reports under Section 13 of the Exchange Act. As a result, sales of the Company's common stock in the secondary market by the holders thereof may then be made pursuant to Section 4(1) of the Securities Act (sales other than by an issuer, underwriter or broker) without qualification under state securities acts.

Following a Transaction, a target company will normally wish to cause the Company's common stock to trade in one or more United States securities markets. The target company may elect to take the steps required for such admission to quotation following the Transaction or at some later time.

In order to qualify for listing on the NASDAQ Small Cap Market, a company must have at least

(i) net tangible assets of $4,000,000 or market capitalization of $50,000,000 or net income for two of the last three years of $750,000;

(ii) public float of 1,000,000 shares with a market value of $5,000,000;

(iii) a bid price of $4.00;

(iv) three market makers;

(v) 300 shareholders and

(vi) operating history of one year or, if less than one year, $50,000,000 in market capitalization.

For continued listing on the NASDAQ SmallCap Market, a company must have at least

(i) net tangible assets of $2,000,000 or market capitalization of $35,000,000 or net income for two of the last three years of $500,000;

(ii) a public float of 500,000 shares with a market value of $1,000,000;

(iii) a bid price of $1.00; (iv) two market makers; and (v) 300 shareholders.

If, after a Transaction, the Company does not meet the qualifications for listing on the NASDAQ SmallCap Market, the Company may apply for quotation of its securities on the OTC Bulletin Board. In certain cases the Company may elect to have its securities initially quoted in the "pink sheets" published by the National Quotation Bureau, Inc.

To have its securities quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board a company must:

(1) be a company that reports its current financial information to the Securities and Exchange Commission, banking regulators or insurance regulators;

(2) has at least one market maker who completes and files a Form 211 with NASD Regulation, Inc.

The OTC Bulletin Board is a dealer-driven quotation service. Unlike the NASDAQ Stock Market, companies cannot directly apply to be quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board, only market makers can initiate quotes, and quoted companies do not have to meet any quantitative financial requirements. Any equity security of a reporting company not listed on the NASDAQ Stock Market or on a national securities exchange is eligible.

TRANSFER AGENT

It is anticipated that Florida Atlantic Stock Transfer Co. will act as transfer agent for the common stock of the Company.

 

PART II

ITEM 1. MARKET PRICE FOR COMMON EQUITY AND RELATED STOCKHOLDER MATTERS.

(A) MARKET PRICE. There is no trading market for the Company's Common Stock at present and there has been no trading market to date. There is no assurance that a trading market will ever develop or, and if such a market does develop, that it will continue.

The Securities and Exchange Commission has adopted Rule 15g-9 which establishes the definition of a "penny stock," for purposes relevant to the Company, as any equity security that has a market price of less than $5.00 per share or with an exercise price of less than $5.00 per share, subject to certain exceptions. For any transaction involving a penny stock, unless exempt, the rules require:

(i) that a broker or dealer approve a person's account for transactions in penny stocks and

(ii) the broker or dealer receive from the investor a written agreement to the transaction, setting forth the identity and quantity of the penny stock to be purchased.

In order to approve a person's account for transactions in penny stocks, the broker or dealer must

(i) obtain financial information and investment experience and objectives of the person; and

(ii) make a reasonable determination that the transactions in penny stocks are suitable for that person and that person has sufficient knowledge and experience in financial matters to be capable of evaluating the risks of transactions in penny stocks.

The broker or dealer must also deliver, prior to any transaction in a penny stock, a disclosure schedule prepared by the Commission relating to the penny stock market, which, in highlight form,

(i) sets forth the basis on which the broker or dealer made the suitability determination and

(ii) that the broker or dealer received a signed, written agreement from the investor prior to the transaction. Disclosure also has to be made about the risks of investing in penny stocks in both public offerings and in secondary trading, and about commissions payable to both the broker-dealer and the registered representative, current quotations for the securities and the rights and remedies available to an investor in cases of fraud in penny stock transactions.

Finally, monthly statements have to be sent disclosing recent price information for the penny stock held in the account and information on the limited market in penny stocks.

(B) HOLDERS. There are three holders of the Company's Common Stock. The issued and outstanding shares of the Company's Common Stock were issued in accordance with the exemptions from registration afforded by Section 4(2) of the Act.

(C) DIVIDENDS. The Company has not paid any dividends to date, and has no plans to do so in the immediate future.

ITEM 2. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS.

There is no litigation pending or threatened by or against the Company.

ITEM 3. CHANGES IN AND DISAGREEMENTS WITH ACCOUNTANTS ON ACCOUNTING AND FINANCIAL DISCLOSURE.

The Company has not changed accountants since its formation and there are no disagreements with the findings of its accountants.

ITEM 4. RECENT SALES OF UNREGISTERED SECURITIES.

During the past three years, the Company has sold securities, which were not registered as follows:

Mr. Richard Rubin is director, shareholder and corporate secretary of the Company. With respect to the sales made to Mr. Rubin, the Company relied upon Section 4(2) of the Act.

It is the position of the Office of Small Business of the Securities & Exchange Commission (per No Action Letter, NASD Regulation, Inc., dated January 21, 2000) that Rule 144 is not available for resale transactions involving securities sold by promoters and affiliates of a blank check company, and their transferees, and anyone else who has been issued securities from a blank check company, and that securities issued by a blank check company to promoters and affiliates, and their transferees, can only be resold through registration under the Securities Act.

ITEM 5. INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS.

Chapter 607.0850 of the Florida Statutes provides that the articles of incorporation may contain a provision indemnifying officers, directors, employees and agents from certain personal liability including liability under the Act. The detailed provisions of the Florida Statutes are set forth in full in Exhibit 99 (ii) attached hereto and incorporated herein. The Company's Articles of Incorporation contains such a provision.

INSOFAR AS INDEMNIFICATION FOR LIABILITIES ARISING UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, MAY BE PERMITTED TO DIRECTORS, OFFICERS OR PERSONS CONTROLLING THE COMPANY PURSUANT TO THE FOREGOING PROVISIONS, IT IS THE OPINION OF THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION THAT SUCH INDEMNIFICATION IS AGAINST PUBLIC POLICY AS EXPRESSED IN THE ACT AND IS THEREFORE UNENFORCEABLE.

(a development stage enterprise) as of September 30, 2000 and the related statements of operations, changes in stockholders’ equity (deficit) and cash flows for the period from August 14, 2000 (date of incorporation) to September 30, 2000. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit.

We conducted our audit in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the 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 provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly in all material respects, the financial position of Fifth Avenue Acquisition I Corp. (a development stage enterprise) as of September 30, 2000, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the period from August 14, 2000 (date of incorporation) to September 30, 2000 in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Notes 1 and 4 to the financial statements, the Company is in the development stage and will require a significant amount of capital to commence its planned principal operations and proceed with its business plan. As of the date of these financial statements, an insignificant amount of capital has been raised, and as such there is no assurance that the Company will be successful in its efforts to raise the necessary capital to commence its planned principal operations and/or implement its business plan. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans in regard to this matter are described in Note 4. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

FIFTH AVENUE ACQUISITION I CORP.

(A DEVELOPMENT STAGE ENTERPRISE)

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE 1 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Organization and Business Operations

Fifth Avenue Acquisition I Corp. (a development stage enterprise) ("the Company") was incorporated in Florida on August 14, 2000 to serve as a vehicle to effect a merger, exchange of capital stock, asset acquisition or other business combination transaction with a domestic entity. As of September 30, 2000, the Company had not yet commenced any formal business operations, and all activity to date relates to the Company's formation and proposed fund raising. The Company's fiscal year end is December 31.

The Company's ability to commence operations is contingent upon its ability to identify a prospective target business and the surviving entity’s ability to secure the capital it will require through the issuance of equity securities, debt securities, bank borrowings or a combination thereof.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

Financial instruments, including cash, receivables, accounts payable, and notes payable are carried at amounts which reasonably approximate their fair value due to the short-term nature of these amounts or due to variable rates of interest which are consistent with market rates. At present, the Company does not have any receivables, accounts payable or notes payable.

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

The Company adopted FASB Statement No. 121 (SFAS 121), "Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to Be Disposed Of". SFAS 121 requires that impairment losses are to be recorded when long-lived assets to be held and used are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the related carrying amount may not be recoverable. When required, impairment losses on assets to be held and used are recognized based on the fair value of the asset. Long-lived assets to be disposed of, if any, are reported at the lower of carrying amount or fair value less cost to sell. There have been no material adjustments for impairments of long-lived assets.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

For purposes of the statement of cash flows, the Company considers all highly liquid investments purchased with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.

Income Taxes

The Company accounts for income taxes under the Financial Accounting Standards Board of Financial Accounting Standard No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes" ("Statement 109"). Under Statement 109, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax basis. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. Under Statement 109, the effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. There were no current or deferred income tax expense or benefits due to the Company’s not having any material operations for the period ending September 30, 2000.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In 2000, the Company is subject to the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 130 ("SFAS 130"), "Reporting Comprehensive Income" and Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 131 ("SFAS 131"), "Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information." Neither statement had any impact on the Company’s financial statements as the Company does not have any "comprehensive income" type earnings (losses) and its financial statements reflect how the "key operating decisions makers" view the business. The Company will continue to review these statements over time, in particular SFAS 131, to determine if any additional disclosures are necessary based on evolving circumstances.

NOTE 2 – STOCKHOLDERS’ EQUITY

Common Stock

The Company is authorized to issue 20,000,000 shares of common stock at $0.001 par value. The Company issued 1,000,000 shares of its common stock to its shareholders pursuant to the exemption provided under Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, for an aggregate consideration of $1,000.

NOTE 3 – NET LOSS PER SHARE

We compute net loss per share in accordance with SFAS No. 128 "Earnings per Share" ("SFAS No. 128") and SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 98 ("SAB 98"). Under the provisions of SFAS No. 128 and SAB 98, basic net loss per share is computed by dividing the net loss available to common stockholders for the period by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted net loss per share is computed by dividing the net loss for the period by the number of common and common equivalent shares outstanding during the period. There were no common equivalent shares outstanding as of September 30, 2000.

NOTE 4 – AGREEMENT WITH RELATED PARTY

On September 10, 2000, the Company signed an agreement with CR Capital Services, Inc. (CRCS), a related party. (The principals of CRCS are the Company’s stockholders.) The Agreement calls for CRCS to provide the following services, without reimbursement from the Company, until the Company enters into a business combination transaction as described in Note 1:

1. Preparation and filing of required documents with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including the Form 10-SB registration statement, and the Annual Report on Form 10-KSB, and Quarterly Reports on Form 10-QSB;

2. Location and review of potential target companies and the preparation and filing of a Form 8-K reporting the transaction;

3. Payment of all professional and accounting fees, and corporate, organizational and other costs incurred by the Company.

As of September 30, 2000, CRCS had advanced the Company $2,307, which is represented in the account due to related party.

NOTE 5 – GOING CONCERN AND MANAGEMENT'S PLANS

As reflected in the accompanying financial statements, during the period from the date of incorporation through September 30, 2000, the Company had no revenues and incurred a net loss of $1,961. In addition, the Company is dependent upon the willingness and ability of CRCS to pay the ongoing expenses of the Company prior to a business combination transaction. These factors, as well as the uncertain conditions the Company faces regarding its ability to successfully conclude a business combination transaction, creates substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. However, there can be no assurance regarding any terms and conditions of a business combination transaction, if any. To date, the Company has been dependent upon the willingness of its officers, directors and CRCS to provide services without any assurance of cash or other compensation. The Company will continue to be dependent upon the willingness of persons for services, until such time, if ever, that it generates a positive cash flow from operations by the successful conclusion of a business combination transaction.

ARTICLE I. DIRECTORS

Section 1. Function. All corporate powers shall be exercised by or under the authority of the Board of Directors. The business and affairs of the Corporation shall be managed under the direction of the Board of Directors. Directors must be natural persons who are at least 18 years of age but need not be shareholders of the Corporation. Residents of any state may be directors.

Section 2. Compensation. The shareholders shall have authority to fix the compensation of directors. Unless specifically authorized by a resolution of the shareholders, the directors shall serve in such capacity without compensation.

Section 3. Presumption of Assent. A director who is present at a meeting of the Board of Directors or a committee of the Board of Directors at which action on any corporate matter is taken shall be presumed to have assented to the action taken unless he objects at the beginning of the meeting (or promptly upon arriving) to the holding of the meeting or transacting the specified business at the meeting, or if the director votes against the action taken or abstains from voting because of an asserted conflict of interest.

Section 4. Number. The Corporation shall have at least the minimum number of directors required by law. The number of directors may be increased or decreased from time to time by the Board of Directors.

Section 5. Election and Term. At each annual meeting of shareholders, the shareholders shall elect directors to hold office until the next annual meeting or until their earlier resignation, removal from office or death. Directors shall be elected by a plurality of the votes cast by the shares entitled to vote in the election at a meeting at which a quorum is present.

Section 6. Vacancies. Any vacancy occurring in the Board of Directors, including a vacancy created by an increase in the number of directors, may be filled by the shareholders or by the affirmative vote of a majority of the remaining directors though less than a quorum of the Board of Directors. A director elected to fill a vacancy shall hold office only until the next election of directors by the shareholders. If there are no remaining directors, the vacancy shall be filled by the shareholders.

Section 7. Removal of Directors. At a meeting of shareholders, any director or the entire Board of Directors may be removed, with or without cause, provided the notice of the meeting states that one of the purposes of the meeting is the removal of the director. A director may be removed only if the number of votes cast to remove him exceeds the number of votes cast against removal.

Section 8. Quorum and Voting. A majority of the number of directors fixed by these Bylaws shall constitute a quorum for the transaction of business. The act of a majority of directors present at a meeting at which a quorum is present shall be the act of the Board of Directors.

Section 9. Executive and Other Committees. The Board of Directors, by resolution adopted by a majority of the full Board of Directors, may designate from among its members one or more committees each of which must have at least two members. Each committee shall have the authority set forth in the resolution designating the committee.

Written notice of the time, date and place of special meetings of the Board of Directors shall be given to each director by mail delivery at least two days before the meeting.

Notice of a meeting of the Board of Directors need not be given to a director who signs a waiver of notice either before or after the meeting. Attendance of a director at a meeting constitutes a waiver of notice of that meeting and waiver of all objections to the place of the meeting, the time of the meeting, and the manner in which it has been called or convened, unless a director objects to the transaction of business (promptly upon arrival at the meeting) because the meeting is not lawfully called or convened. Neither the business to be transacted at, nor the purpose of, any regular or special meeting of the Board of Directors must be specified in the notice or waiver of notice of the meeting.

A majority of the directors present, whether or not a quorum exists, may adjourn any meeting of the Board of Directors to another time and place. Notice of an adjourned meeting shall be given to the directors who were not present at the time of the adjournment and, unless the time and place of the adjourned meeting are announced at the time of the adjournment, to the other directors. Meetings of the Board of Directors may be called by the President or the Chairman of the Board of Directors. Members of the Board of Directors and any committee of the Board may participate in a meeting by telephone conference or similar communications equipment if all persons participating in the meeting can hear each other at the same time. Participation by these means constitutes presence in person at a meeting.

Section 12. Action By Written Consent. Any action required or permitted to be taken at a meeting of directors may be taken without a meeting if a consent in writing setting forth the action to be taken and signed by all of the directors is filed in the minutes of the proceedings of the Board. The action taken shall be deemed effective when the last director signs the consent, unless the consent specifies otherwise.

ARTICLE II. MEETINGS OF SHAREHOLDERS

Section 1. Annual Meeting. The annual meeting of the shareholders of the corporation for the election of officers and for such other business as may properly come before the meeting shall be held at such time and place as designated by the Board of Directors.

Section 4. Notice. A written notice of each meeting of shareholders shall be mailed to each shareholder having the right and entitled to vote at the meeting at the address as it appears on the records of the Corporation. The meeting notice shall be mailed not less than 10 nor more than 60 days before the date set for the meeting. The record date for determining shareholders entitled to vote at the meeting will be the close of business on the day before the notice is sent. The notice shall state the time and place the meeting is to be held. A notice of a special meeting shall also state the purposes of the meeting. A notice of meeting shall be sufficient for that meeting and any adjournment of it. If a shareholder transfers any shares after the notice is sent, it shall not be necessary to notify the transferee. All shareholders may waive notice of a meeting at any time.

Section 5. Shareholder Quorum. A majority of the shares entitled to vote, represented in person or by proxy, shall constitute a quorum at a meeting of shareholders. Any number of shareholders, even if less than a quorum, may adjourn the meeting without further notice until a quorum is obtained.

Section 6. Shareholder Voting. If a quorum is present, the affirmative vote of a majority of the shares represented at the meeting and entitled to vote on the subject matter shall be the act of the shareholders. Each outstanding share shall be entitled to one vote on each matter submitted to a vote at a meeting of shareholders. An alphabetical list of all shareholders who are entitled to notice of a shareholders' meeting along with their addresses and the number of shares held by each shall be produced at a shareholders, meeting upon the request of any shareholder.

Section 7. Proxies. A shareholder entitled to vote at any meeting of shareholders or any adjournment thereof may vote in person or by proxy executed in writing and signed by the shareholder or his attorney-in-fact.

No proxy shall be valid more than 11 months after the date of its execution unless a longer term is expressly stated in the proxy.

Section 8. Validation. If shareholders who hold a majority of the voting stock entitled to vote at a meeting are present at the meeting, and sign a written consent to the meeting on the record, the acts of the meeting shall be valid, even if the meeting was not legally called and noticed.

Section 9. Conduct of Business By Written Consent. Any action of the shareholders may be taken without a meeting if written consents, setting forth the action taken, are signed by at least a majority of shares entitled to vote and are delivered to the officer or agent of the Corporation having custody of the Corporation's records within 60 days after the date that the earliest written consent was delivered. Within 1,0 days after obtaining an authorization of an action by written consent, notice shall be given to those shareholders who have not consented in writing or who are not entitled to vote on the action. The notice shall fairly summarize the material features of the authorized action. If the action creates dissenters, rights, the notice shall contain a clear statement of the right of dissenting shareholders to be paid the fair value of their shares upon compliance with and as provided for by the state law governing corporations.

ARTICLE III. OFFICERS

Section 1. Officers; Election; Resignation; Vacancies. The Corporation shall have the officers and assistant officers that the Board of Directors appoint from time to time. Except as otherwise provided in an employment agreement which the Corporation has with an officer, each officer shall serve until a successor is chosen by the directors at a regular or special meeting of the directors or until removed. Officers and agents shall be chosen, serve for the terms, and have the duties determined by the directors. A person may hold two or more offices. Any officer may resign at any time upon written notice to the Corporation. The resignation shall be effective upon receipt, unless the notice specifies a later date. If the resignation is effective at a later date and the Corporation accepts the future effective date, the Board of Directors may fill the pending vacancy before the effective date provided the successor officer does not take office until the future effective date. Any vacancy occurring in any office of the Corporation by death, resignation, removal or otherwise may be filled for the unexpired portion of the term by the Board of Directors at any regular or special meeting.

Section 2. Powers and Duties of Officers. The officers of the Corporation shall have such powers and duties in the management of the Corporation as may be prescribed by the Board of Directors and, to the extent not so provided, as generally pertain to their respective offices, subject to the control of the Board of Directors.

Section 3. Removal of Officers. An officer or agent or member of a committee elected or appointed by the Board of Directors may be removed by the Board with or without cause whenever in its judgment the best interests of the Corporation will be served thereby, but such removal shall be without prejudice to the contract rights, if any, of the person so removed. Election or appointment of an officer, agent or member of a committee shall not of itself create contract rights. Any officer, if appointed by another officer, may be removed by that officer.

Section 4. Salaries. The Board of Directors may cause the Corporation to enter into employment agreements with any officer of the Corporation. Unless provided for in an employment agreement between the Corporation and an officer, all officers of the Corporation serve in their capacities without compensation.

Section S. Bank Accounts. The Corporation shall have accounts with financial institutions as determined by the Board of Directors.

ARTICLE IV. DISTRIBUTIONS

The Board of Directors may, from time to time, declare distributions to its shareholders in cash, property, or its own shares, unless the distribution would cause (i) the Corporation to be unable to pay its debts as they become due in the usual course of business, or (ii) the Corporation's assets to be less than its liabilities plus the amount necessary, if the Corporation were dissolved at the time of the distribution, to satisfy the preferential rights of shareholders whose rights are superior to those receiving the distribution. The shareholders and the Corporation may enter into an agreement requiring the distribution of corporate profits, subject to the provisions of law.

ARTICLE V. CORPORATE RECORDS

Section 1. Corporate Records. The corporation shall maintain its records in written form or in another form capable of conversion into written form within a reasonable time. The Corporation shall keep as permanent records minutes of all meetings of its shareholders and Board of Directors, a record of all actions taken by the shareholders or Board of Directors without a meeting, and a record of all actions taken by a committee of the Board of Directors on behalf of the Corporation. The Corporation shall maintain accurate accounting records and a record of its shareholders in a form that permits preparation of a list of the names and addresses of all shareholders in alphabetical order by class of shares showing the number and series of shares held by each.

The Corporation shall keep a copy of its articles or restated articles of incorporation and all amendments to them currently in effect; these Bylaws or restated Bylaws and all amendments currently in effect; resolutions adopted by the Board of Directors creating one or more classes or series of shares and fixing their relative rights, preferences, and limitations, if shares issued pursuant to those resolutions are outstanding; the minutes of all shareholders' meetings and records of all actions taken by shareholders without a meeting for the past three years; written communications to all shareholders generally or all shareholders of a class of series within the past three years, including the financial statements furnished for the last three years; a list of names and business street addresses of its current directors and officers; and its most recent annual report delivered to the Department of State.

Section 2. Shareholders' Inspection Rights. A shareholder is entitled to inspect and copy, during regular business hours at a reasonable location specified by the Corporation, any books and records of the Corporation. The shareholder must give the Corporation written notice of this demand at least five business days before the date on which he wishes to inspect and copy the record(s). The demand must be made in good faith and for a proper purpose. The shareholder must describe with reasonable particularity the purpose and the records he desires to inspect, and the records must be directly connected with this purpose. This Section does not affect the right of a shareholder to inspect and copy the shareholders' list described in this Article if the shareholder is in litigation with the Corporation. In such a case, the shareholder shall have the same rights as any other litigant to compel the production of corporate records for examination.

The Corporation may deny any demand for inspection if the demand was made for an improper purpose, or if the demanding shareholder has within the two years preceding his demand, sold or offered for sale any list of shareholders of the Corporation or of any other corporation, had aided or abetted any person in procuring any list of shareholders for that purpose, or has improperly used any information secured through any prior examination of the records of this Corporation or any other corporation.

Section 3. Financial Statements for Shareholders. Unless modified by resolution of the shareholders within 120 days after the close of each fiscal year, the Corporation shall furnish its shareholders with annual financial statements which may be consolidated or combined statements of the Corporation and one or more of its subsidiaries, as appropriate, that include a balance sheet as of the end of the fiscal year, an income statement for that year, and a statement of cash flows for that year. if financial statements are prepared for the Corporation on the basis of generally accepted accounting principles, the annual financial statements must also be prepared on that basis.

If the annual financial statements are reported upon by a public accountant, his report must accompany them. If not, the statements must be accompanied by a statement of the President or the person responsible for the Corporation's accounting records stating his reasonable belief whether the statements were prepared on the basis of generally accepted accounting principles and, if not, describing the basis of preparation and describing any respects in which the statements were not prepared on a basis of accounting consistent with the statements prepared for the preceding year. The Corporation shall mail the annual financial statements to each shareholder within 120 days after the close of each fiscal year or within such additional time thereafter as is reasonably necessary to enable the Corporation to prepare its financial statements. Thereafter, on written request from a shareholder who was not mailed the statements, the Corporation shall mail him the latest annual financial statements.

Section 4. Other Reports to Shareholders. If the Corporation indemnifies or advances expenses to any director, officer, employee or agent otherwise than by court order or action by the shareholders or by an insurance carrier pursuant to insurance maintained by the Corporation, the Corporation shall report the indemnification or advance in writing to the shareholders with or before the notice of the next annual shareholders, meeting, or prior to the meeting if the indemnification or advance occurs after the giving of the notice but prior to the time the annual meeting is held. This report shall include a statement specifying the persons paid, the amounts paid, and the nature and status at the time of such payment of the litigation or threatened litigation.

If the Corporation issues or authorizes the issuance of shares for promises to render services in the future, the Corporation shall report in writing to the shareholders the number of shares authorized or issued, and the consideration received by the corporation, with or before the notice of the next shareholders' meeting.

ARTICLE VI. STOCK CERTIFICATES

Section 1. Issuance. The Board of Directors may authorize the issuance of some or all of the shares of any or all of its classes or series without certificates. Each certificate issued shall be signed by the President and the Secretary (or the Treasurer). The rights and obligations of shareholders are identical whether or not their shares are represented by certificates.

Section 2. Registered Shareholders. No certificate shall be issued for any share until the share is fully paid. The Corporation shall be entitled to treat the holder of record of shares as the holder in fact and, except as otherwise provided by law, shall not be bound to recognize any equitable or other claim to or interest in the shares.

Section 3. Transfer of Shares. Shares of the Corporation shall be transferred on its books only after the surrender to the Corporation of the share certificates duly endorsed by the holder of record or attorney-in-fact. If the surrendered certificates are canceled, new certificates shall be issued to the person entitled to them, and the transaction recorded on the books of the Corporation.

Section 4. Lost, Stolen or Destroyed Certificates. if a shareholder claims to have lost or destroyed a certificate of shares issued by the Corporation, a new certificate shall be issued upon the delivery to the Corporation of an affidavit of that fact by the person claiming the certificate of stock to be lost, stolen or destroyed, and, at the discretion of the Board of Directors, upon the deposit of a bond or other indemnity as the Board reasonably requires.

ARTICLE VII. INDEMNIFICATION

Section 1. Right to Indemnification. The Corporation hereby indemnifies each person (including the heirs, executors, administrators, or estate of such person) who is or was a director or officer of the Corporation to the fullest extent permitted or authorized by current or future legislation or judicial or administrative decision against all fines, liabilities, costs and expenses, including attorneys' fees, arising out of his or her status as a director, officer, agent, employee or representative. The foregoing right of indemnification shall not be exclusive of other rights to which those seeking an indemnification may be entitled. The Corporation may maintain insurance, at its expense, to protect itself and all officers and directors against fines, liabilities, costs and expenses, whether or not the Corporation would have the legal power to indemnify them directly against such liability.

Section 2. Advances. Costs, charges and expenses (including attorneys' fees) incurred by a person referred to in Section 1 of this Article in defending a civil or criminal proceeding shall be paid by the Corporation in advance of the final disposition thereof upon receipt of an undertaking to repay all amounts advanced if it is ultimately determined that the person is not entitled to be indemnified by the Corporation as authorized by this Article, and upon satisfaction of other conditions required by current or future legislation.

Section 3. Savings Clause. If this Article or any portion of it is invalidated on any ground by a court of competent jurisdiction, the Corporation nevertheless indemnifies each person described in Section I of this Article to the fullest extent permitted by all portions of this Article that have not been invalidated and to the fullest extent permitted by law.

ARTICLE VIII. AMENDMENT

These Bylaws may be altered, amended or repealed, and new Bylaws adopted, by a majority vote of the directors or by a vote of the shareholders holding a majority of the shares.

I certify that these are the Bylaws adopted by the Board of Directors of the Corporation.

EXHIBIT 99 (i)

PRIVATE SECURITIES LITIGATION REFORM ACT OF 1995 SAFE HARBOR COMPLIANCE STATEMENT FOR FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

In passing the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 (the "Reform Act"), 15 U.S.C.A. Sections 77z-2 and 78u-5 (Supp. 1996), Congress encouraged public companies to make "forward-looking statements" by creating a safe harbor to protect companies from securities law liability in connection with forward-looking statements. Fifth Avenue Acquisition I Corp. ("the Company") intends to qualify both its written and oral forward-looking statements for protection under the Reform Act and any other similar safe harbor provisions.

"Forward-looking statements" are defined by the Reform Act. Generally, forward-looking statements include expressed expectations of future events and the assumptions on which the expressed expectations are based. All forward- looking statements are inherently uncertain as they are based on various expectations and assumptions concerning future events and they are subject to numerous known and unknown risks and uncertainties which could cause actual events or results to differ materially from those projected. Due to those uncertainties and risks, the investment community is urged not to place undue reliance on written or oral forward-looking statements of the Company. The Company undertakes no obligation to update or revise this Safe Harbor Compliance Statement for Forward-Looking Statements (the "Safe Harbor Statement") to reflect future developments. In addition, the Company undertakes no obligation to update or revise forward-looking statements to reflect changed assumptions, the occurrence of unanticipated events or changes to future operating results over time.

The Company provides the following risk factor disclosure in connection with its continuing effort to qualify its written and oral forward-looking statements for the safe harbor protection of the Reform Act and any other similar safe harbor provisions. Important factors currently known to management that could cause actual results to differ materially from those in forward-looking statements include the following:

FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS

THIS QUARTERLY REPORT AND OTHER STATEMENTS ISSUED OR MADE FROM TIME TO TIME BY FIFTH AVENUE ACQUISITION I CORP. (HEREINAFTER REFERRED TO AS (THE "COMPANY") OR ITS REPRESENTATIVES CONTAIN STATEMENTS WHICH MAY CONSTITUTE "FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS" WITHIN THE MEANING OF THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933 AND THE SECURITIES EXCHANGE ACT OF 1934, AS AMENDED BY THE PRIVATE SECURITIES LITIGATION REFORM ACT OF 1995. FIFTEEN U.S.C.A. SECTIONS 77Z-2 AND 78U-5 (SUPP. 1996). THOSE STATEMENTS INCLUDE STATEMENTS REGARDING THE INTENT, BELIEF OR CURRENT EXPECTATIONS OF NORTH SHORE AND MEMBERS OF ITS MANAGEMENT TEAM AS WELL AS THE ASSUMPTIONS ON WHICH SUCH STATEMENTS ARE BASED. PROSPECTIVE INVESTORS ARE CAUTIONED THAT ANY SUCH FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS ARE NOT GUARANTEES OF FUTURE PERFORMANCE AND INVOLVE RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES, AND THAT ACTUAL RESULTS MAY DIFFER MATERIALLY FROM THOSE CONTEMPLATED BY SUCH FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS. IMPORTANT FACTORS CURRENTLY KNOWN TO MANAGEMENT THAT COULD CAUSE ACTUAL RESULTS TO DIFFER MATERIALLY FROM THOSE IN FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS ARE SET FORTH IN THE SAFE HARBOR COMPLIANCE STATEMENT FOR FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS INCLUDED AS EXHIBIT 99.1 TO THIS FORM 10QSB, AND ARE HEREBY INCORPORATED HEREIN BY REFERENCE. THE COMPANY UNDERTAKES NO OBLIGATION TO UPDATE OR REVISE FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS TO REFLECT CHANGED ASSUMPTIONS, THE OCCURRENCE OF UNANTICIPATED EVENTS OR CHANGES TO FUTURE OPERATING RESULTS OVER TIME.

RISK FACTORS

1. The majority control by the Company's Principal Shareholders, Officers and Directors may negatively impact the operation of the Company.

The Company's principal shareholders, officer and director will beneficially own one hundred percent (100%) of the Company's Common Stock. As a result, such person will have the ability to control the Company and direct its affairs and business. Such concentration of ownership may also have the effect of delaying, deferring or preventing change in control of the Company. See "Principal Stockholders."

2. Conflicts of interest between the Company and its officer and director (the "Management") may impede the operational ability of the Company.

Certain conflicts of interest exist between the Company and its Management. The Management has other business interests to which they devote a certain amount of their time and attention, and the Management may be expected to continue to do so although management time should be devoted to the business of the Company. As a result, conflicts of interest may arise that can be resolved only through their exercise of such judgment as is consistent with his fiduciary duties to the Company. See "Management," and "Conflicts of Interest."

The Company's Management may also elect, in the future, to form one or more additional blank check companies with a business plan similar or identical to that of the Company. Any such additional blank check companies would also be in direct competition with the Company for available business opportunities. (See Item 5 - "Directors, Executive Officers, Promoters and Control Persons- Conflicts of Interest.")

It is anticipated that the Company's Management may actively negotiate or otherwise consent to the purchase of a portion of their common stock as a condition to, or in connection with, a proposed merger or acquisition transaction. In this process, the Company's Management may consider their own personal pecuniary benefit rather than the best interests of other Company shareholders, and the other Company shareholders are not expected to be afforded the opportunity to approve or consent to any particular stock buy-out transaction. See "Conflicts of Interest."

3. The possible need for additional financing may impair the Company's ability to locate the best available business combination transaction (the "Transaction").

The Company has very limited funds, and such funds may not be adequate to take advantage of any Transaction. Even if the Company's funds prove to be sufficient to acquire an interest in, or complete a transaction with another entity, the Company may not have enough capital to exploit the opportunity. The ultimate success of the Company may depend upon its ability to raise additional capital. The Company has not investigated the availability, source, or terms that might govern the acquisition of additional capital and will not do so until it determines a need for additional financing.

If additional capital is needed, there is no assurance that funds will be available from any source or, if available, that they can be obtained on terms acceptable to the Company. If not available, the Company's operations will be limited to those that can be financed with its modest capital.

4. The regulation of Penny Stocks may negatively impact the potential trading market for the Company's securities.

The Company's securities, when available for trading, will be subject to a Securities and Exchange Commission rule that imposes special sales practice requirements upon broker-dealers who sell such securities to persons other than established customers or accredited investors. For purposes of the rule, the phrase "accredited investors" means, in general terms, institutions with assets in excess of $5,000,000, or individuals having a net worth in excess of $1,000,000 or having an annual income that exceeds $200,000 (or that, when combined with a spouse's income, exceeds $300,000). For transactions covered by the rule, the broker-dealer must make a special suitability determination for the purchaser and receive the purchaser's written agreement to the transaction prior to the sale. Consequently, the rule may affect the ability of broker-dealers to sell the Company's securities and also may affect the ability of purchasers in this offering to sell their securities in any market that might develop therefor.

In addition, the Securities and Exchange Commission has adopted a number of rules to regulate "penny stocks." Such rules include Rules 3a51-1, 15g-1, 15g-2, 15g-3, 15g-4, 15g-5, 15g-6, and 15g-7 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Because the securities of the Company may constitute "penny stocks" within the meaning of the rules, the rules would apply to the Company and to its securities. The rules may further affect the ability of owners of Shares to sell the securities of the Company in any market that might develop for them.

Shareholders should be aware that, according to Securities and Exchange Commission Release No. 34-29093, the market for penny stocks has suffered in recent years from patterns of fraud and abuse.

Such patterns include (i) control of the market for the security by one or a few broker-dealers that are often related to the promoter or issuer; (ii) manipulation of prices through prearranged matching of purchases and sales and false and misleading press releases; (iii) "boiler room" practices involving high-pressure sales tactics and unrealistic price projections by inexperienced sales persons; (iv) excessive and undisclosed bid-ask differentials and markups by selling broker-dealers; and (v) the wholesale dumping of the same securities by promoters and broker-dealers after prices have been manipulated to a desired level, along with the resulting inevitable collapse of those prices and with consequent investor losses.

5. The Company's limited operating history may severely impact its ability to operate and locate the best available Transaction.

The Company was formed in August of 2000 for the purpose of registering its common stock under the Exchange Act and acquiring a business opportunity. The Company has no operating history, revenues from operations, or assets other than cash from private sales of stock. The Company faces all of the risks of a new business and the special risks inherent in the investigation, acquisition, or involvement in a new business opportunity. The Company must be regarded as a new or "start-up" venture with all of the unforeseen costs, expenses, problems, and difficulties to which such ventures are subject.

6. There can be no assurance of the Company's potential success or profitability.

There is no assurance that the Company will acquire a favorable Transaction. Even if the Company should become involved in a Transaction, there is no assurance that it will generate revenues or profits, or that the market price of the Company's Common Stock will be increased thereby.

7. Reporting Requirements May Delay Or Preclude Acquisition.

Section 13 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the "Exchange Act"), requires companies subject thereto to provide certain information about significant acquisitions, including certified financial statements for the company acquired, covering one or two years, depending on the relative size of the acquisition. The time and additional costs that may be incurred by some target entities to prepare such statements may significantly delay or essentially preclude consummation of an otherwise desirable acquisition by the Company. Acquisition prospects that do not have or are unable to obtain the required audited statements may not be appropriate for acquisition so long as the reporting requirements of the 1934 Act are applicable.

8. The Company lacks market research and marketing organization.

The Company has neither conducted, nor have others made available to it, results of market research indicating that market demand exists for the transactions contemplated by the Company. Moreover, the Company does not have, and does not plan to establish, a marketing organization. Even in the event demand is identified for a merger or acquisition/Transaction contemplated by the Company, there is no assurance the Company will be successful in completing any such Transaction.

9. The Company's potential Transaction - not been identified and may involve a high degree of risk

The Company has not identified and has no commitments to enter into a Transaction and therefore can disclose the risks and hazards of a Transaction that it may enter into in only a general manner, and cannot disclose the risks and hazards of any specific Transaction that it may enter into. An investor can expect a potential Transaction to have a high degree of risk. The Company's acquisition of or participation in a Transaction will likely be highly illiquid and could result in a total loss to the Company and its stockholders if the Transaction proves to be unsuccessful. See Item 1 "Description of Business."

10. The type of business acquired may be unprofitable or present other negative factors.

The type of business to be acquired may be one that desires to avoid effecting its own public offering and the accompanying expense, delays, uncertainties, and federal and state requirements which purport to protect investors. Because of the Company's limited capital, it is more likely than not that any acquisition by the Company will involve other parties whose primary interest is the acquisition of control of a publicly traded company. Moreover, any business opportunity/Transaction acquired may be currently unprofitable or present other negative factors.

11. The Company may not be able to conduct an exhaustive investigation and analysis of potential Transactions.

The Company's limited funds and the lack of full-time management will likely make it impracticable to conduct a complete and exhaustive investigation and analysis of a Transaction before the Company commits its capital or other resources thereto. Management decisions, therefore, will likely be made without detailed feasibility studies, independent analysis, market surveys and the like which, if the Company had more funds available to it, would be desirable. The Company will be particularly dependent in making decisions upon information provided by the promoter, owner, sponsor, or others associated with the Transaction seeking the Company's participation. A significant portion of the Company's available funds may be expended for investigative expenses and other expenses related to preliminary aspects of completing an acquisition transaction, whether or not any business opportunity investigated is eventually acquired.

12. The Company may lack diversification.

Because of the limited financial resources that the Company has, it is unlikely that the Company will be able to diversify its acquisitions or operations. The Company's probable inability to diversify its activities into more than one area will subject the Company to economic fluctuations within a particular business or industry and therefore increase the risks associated with the Company's operations.

13. The Company may have to rely upon unaudited financial statements of a potential business opportunity.

The Company generally will require audited financial statements from companies that it proposes to acquire. No assurance can be given, however, that audited financials will be available to the Company. In cases where audited financials are unavailable, the Company will have to rely upon unaudited information received from target companies' management that has not been verified by outside auditors. The lack of the type of independent verification which audited financial statements would provide, increases the risk that the Company, in evaluating an acquisition with such a target company, will not have the benefit of full and accurate information about the financial condition and operating history of the target company. This risk increases the prospect that the acquisition of such a company might prove to be an unfavorable one for the Company or the holders of the Company's securities.

Moreover, the Company will be subject to the reporting provisions of the Exchange Act, and thus will be required to furnish certain information about significant acquisitions, including audited financial statements for any business that it acquires. Consequently, acquisition prospects that do not have, or are unable to provide reasonable assurances that they will be able to obtain, the required audited statements would not be considered by the Company to be appropriate for acquisition so long as the reporting requirements of the Exchange Act are applicable. Should the Company, during the time it remains subject to the reporting provisions of the Exchange Act, complete an acquisition of an entity for which audited financial statements prove to be unobtainable, the Company would be exposed to enforcement actions by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "Commission") and to corresponding administrative sanctions, including permanent injunctions against the Company and its management. The legal and other costs of defending a Commission enforcement action are likely to have material, adverse consequences for the Company and its business. The imposition of administrative sanctions would subject the Company to further adverse consequences.

In addition, the lack of audited financial statements would prevent the securities of the Company from becoming eligible for listing on NASDAQ, the automated quotation system sponsored by the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc., or on any existing stock exchange. Moreover, the lack of such financial statements is likely to discourage broker-dealers from becoming or continuing to serve as market makers in the securities of the Company. Without audited financial statements, the Company would almost certainly be unable to offer securities under a registration statement pursuant to the Act, and the ability of the Company to raise capital would be significantly limited until such financial statements were to become available.

14. Government, State or Local regulations may limit the Company's Transaction.

An acquisition/Transaction made by the Company may be of a business that is subject to regulation or licensing by federal, state, or local authorities. Compliance with such regulations and licensing can be expected to be a time-consuming, expensive process and may limit other investment opportunities of the Company.

15. There will be a limited participation by Management in the daily operations of the Company.

The Company will be heavily dependent upon Management’s skills, talents, and abilities to implement its business plan, and may, from time to time, find that the inability of the officer and director to devote his full time attention to the business of the Company results in a delay in progress toward implementing its business plan. Because investors will not be able to evaluate the merits of possible Transactions by the Company, they should critically assess the information concerning the Company's officer and director.

16. There is a lack of continuity in the Management of the Company.

The Company does not have an employment agreement with its officers and directors, and as a result, there is no assurance that present management will continue to manage the Company in the future. In connection with a Transaction, it is likely that the current officers and directors of the Company may resign. A decision to resign will be based upon the identity of the Transaction and the nature of the Transaction, and is likely to occur without the vote or consent of the stockholders of the Company.

17. The Company's required indemnification of its Officers and Directors may negatively impact its operation.

The Company's Articles of Incorporation provide for the indemnification of its directors and officers under certain circumstances, against attorney's fees and other expenses incurred by them in any litigation to which they become a party arising from their association with or activities on behalf of the Company. The Company will also bear the expenses of such litigation for any of its directors and officers upon such person's promise to repay the Company therefor if it is ultimately determined that any such person shall not have been entitled to indemnification. This indemnification policy could result in substantial expenditures by the Company, which it will be unable to recoup.

18. The Company may have to depend upon Outside Advisors.

To supplement the business experience of its Management, the Company may be required to employ accountants, technical experts, appraisers, attorneys, or other consultants or advisors. The selection of any such advisors will be made by the Company's Board of Directors without any input from stockholders. Furthermore, it is anticipated that such persons may be engaged on an "as needed" basis without a continuing fiduciary or other obligation to the Company.

19. The Company may engage in a leveraged transaction with a high degree of risk.

There is a possibility that any acquisition/Transaction by the Company may be leveraged, i.e., the Company may finance the acquisition/Transaction by borrowing against the assets of the business opportunity to be acquired, or against the projected future revenues or profits of the business opportunity. This could increase the Company's exposure to larger losses. A business opportunity acquired through a leveraged transaction is profitable only if it generates enough revenues to cover the related debt and expenses. Failure to make payments on the debt incurred to purchase the business opportunity could result in the loss of a portion or all of the assets acquired. There is no assurance that any business opportunity acquired through a leveraged transaction will generate sufficient revenues to cover the related debt and expenses.

20. Significant competition may impair the Company's ability to locate the best available Transaction.

The search for potentially profitable Transactions is intensely competitive. The Company expects to be at a disadvantage when competing with many firms that have substantially greater financial and management resources and capabilities than the Company. These competitive conditions will exist in any industry in which the Company may become interested.

21. There are no foreseeable dividends for the Company's shareholders.

The Company has not paid dividends on its Common Stock and does not anticipate paying such dividends in the foreseeable future.

22. The Company's present Management and Stockholders may lose control.

The Company may consider an acquisition/Transaction in which the Company would issue as consideration for the business opportunity to be acquired an amount of the Company's authorized but unissued Common Stock that would, upon issuance, represent the great majority of the voting power and equity of the Company. The result of such an acquisition would be that the acquired company's stockholders and management would control the Company, and the Company's management could be replaced by persons unknown at this time. Such a merger would result in a greatly reduced percentage of ownership of the Company by its current shareholders. In addition, the Management could sell their controlling share at a premium price to the acquired company's stockholders.

23. There is no public trading market for the Company's common stock.

There is no public market for the Company's common stock, and no assurance can be given that a market will develop or that a shareholder ever will be able to liquidate his investment without considerable delay, if at all. If a market should develop, the price may be highly volatile. Factors such as those discussed in this "Risk Factors" section may have a significant impact upon the market price of the securities offered hereby. Owing to the low price of the securities, many brokerage firms may not be willing to effect transactions in the securities. Even if a purchaser finds a broker willing to effect a transaction in these securities, the combination of brokerage commissions, state transfer taxes, if any, and any other selling costs may exceed the selling price. Further, many lending institutions will not permit the use of such securities as collateral for any loans.

24. Affiliates and their successors/assigns may have exposure and risk if re-selling securities pursuant to Rule 144.

All of the outstanding shares of Common Stock held by present stockholders are "restricted securities" within the meaning of Rule 144 under the Act, as amended. Generally, restricted shares may be resold only pursuant to an effective registration statement or under the requirements of Rule 144 or other applicable exemptions from registration under the Act and as required under applicable state securities laws. However, recent correspondence directed from the Commission to the NASD suggests that Rule 144 sales by affiliates or their successors/assigns will generally not be afforded an opportunity to rely on Rule 144 for "safe harbor" re-selling under such rule and will most likely only be able to transfer such securities pursuant to an effective registration statement filed under the Securities Act of 1933 (the "Act").

Rule 144 provides in essence that a person who has held restricted securities for a prescribed period may, under certain conditions, sell every three months, in brokerage transactions, a number of shares that does not exceed the greater of 1.0% of a company's outstanding common stock or the average weekly trading volume during the four calendar weeks prior to the sale. As a result of revisions to Rule 144 which became effective on or about April 29, 1997, there will be no limit on the amount of restricted securities that may be sold by a nonaffiliate after the restricted securities have been held by the owner for a period of two years. A sale under Rule 144 or under any other exemption from the Act, if available, or pursuant to subsequent registrations of shares of Common Stock of present stockholders, may have a depressive effect upon the price of the Common Stock in any market that may develop.

25. Blue Sky considerations may negatively impact the Company's ability to sell or transfer its securities or to establish secondary trading markets.

Because the securities registered hereunder have not been registered for resale under the blue sky laws of any state, the holders of such shares and persons who desire to purchase them in any trading market that might develop in the future, should be aware that there may be significant state blue-sky law restrictions upon the ability of investors to sell the securities and of purchasers to purchase the securities. Some jurisdictions may not under any circumstances allow the trading or resale of "blank- check" securities. Accordingly, investors should consider the secondary market for the Company's securities to be a limited one.


EXHIBIT 99 (ii)

Chapter 607.0850 of the Florida Statute

Indemnification of officers, directors, employees, and agents.

(1) A corporation shall have power to indemnify any person who was or is a party to any proceeding (other than an action by, or in the right of, the corporation), by reason of the fact that he or she is or was a director, officer, employee, or agent of the corporation or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director, officer, employee, or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, or other enterprise against liability incurred in connection with such proceeding, including any appeal thereof, if he or she acted in good faith and in a manner he or she reasonably believed to be in, or not opposed to, the best interests of the corporation and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe his or her conduct was unlawful. The termination of any proceeding by judgment, order, settlement, or conviction or upon a plea of nolo contendere or its equivalent shall not, of itself, create a presumption that the person did not act in good faith and in a manner which he or she reasonably believed to be in, or not opposed to, the best interests of the corporation or, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had reasonable cause to believe that his or her conduct was unlawful.

(2) A corporation shall have power to indemnify any person, who was or is a party to any proceeding by or in the right of the corporation to procure a judgment in its favor by reason of the fact that the person is or was a director, officer, employee, or agent of the corporation or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director, officer, employee, or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, or other enterprise, against expenses and amounts paid in settlement not exceeding, in the judgment of the board of directors, the estimated expense of litigating the proceeding to conclusion, actually and reasonably incurred in connection with the defense or settlement of such proceeding, including any appeal thereof. Such indemnification shall be authorized if such person acted in good faith and in a manner he or she reasonably believed to be in, or not opposed to, the best interests of the corporation, except that no indemnification shall be made under this subsection in respect of any claim, issue, or matter as to which such person shall have been adjudged to be liable unless, and only to the extent that, the court in which such proceeding was brought, or any other court of competent jurisdiction, shall determine upon application that, despite the adjudication of liability but in view of all circumstances of the case, such person is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for such expenses which such court shall deem proper.

(3) To the extent that a director, officer, employee, or agent of a corporation has been successful on the merits or otherwise in defense of any proceeding referred to in subsection (1) or subsection (2), or in defense of any claim, issue, or matter therein, he or she shall be indemnified against expenses actually and reasonably incurred by him or her in connection therewith.

(4) Any indemnification under subsection (1) or subsection (2), unless pursuant to a determination by a court, shall be made by the corporation only as authorized in the specific case upon a determination that indemnification of the director, officer, employee, or agent is proper in the circumstances because he or she has met the applicable standard of conduct set forth in subsection (1) or subsection (2). Such determination shall be made:

(a) By the board of directors by a majority vote of a quorum consisting of directors whom were not parties to such proceeding;

(b) If such a quorum is not obtainable or, even if obtainable, by majority vote of a committee duly designated by the board of directors (in which directors who are parties may participate) consisting solely of two or more directors not at the time parties to the proceeding;

(c) By independent legal counsel:

1. Selected by the board of directors prescribed in paragraph (a) or the committee prescribed in paragraph (b); or

2. If a quorum of the directors cannot be obtained for paragraph (a) and the committee cannot be designated under paragraph (b), selected by majority vote of the full board of directors (in which directors who are parties may participate); or

(d) By the shareholders by a majority vote of a quorum consisting of shareholders who were not parties to such proceeding or, if no such quorum is obtainable, by a majority vote of shareholders who were not parties to such proceeding.

(5) Evaluation of the reasonableness of expenses and authorization of indemnification shall be made in the same manner as the determination that indemnification is permissible. However, if the determination of permissibility is made by independent legal counsel, persons specified by paragraph (4)(c) shall evaluate the reasonableness of expenses and may authorize indemnification.

(6) Expenses incurred by an officer or director in defending a civil or criminal proceeding may be paid by the corporation in advance of the final disposition of such proceeding upon receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of such director or officer to repay such amount if he or she is ultimately found not to be entitled to indemnification by the corporation pursuant to this section. Expenses incurred by other employees and agents may be paid in advance upon such terms or conditions that the board of directors deems appropriate.

(7) The indemnification and advancement of expenses provided pursuant to this section are not exclusive, and a corporation may make any other or further indemnification or advancement of expenses of any of its directors, officers, employees, or agents, under any bylaw, agreement, vote of shareholders or disinterested directors, or otherwise, both as to action in his or her official capacity and as to action in another capacity while holding such office. However, indemnification or advancement of expenses shall not be made to or on behalf of any director, officer, employee, or agent if a judgment or other final adjudication establishes that his or her actions, or omissions to act, were material to the cause of action so adjudicated and constitute:

(a) A violation of the criminal law, unless the director, officer, employee, or agent had reasonable cause to believe his or her conduct was lawful or had no reasonable cause to believe his or her conduct was unlawful;

(b) A transaction from which the director, officer, employee, or agent derived an improper personal benefit;

(c) In the case of a director, a circumstance under which the liability provisions of s. 607.0834 are applicable; or

(d) Willful misconduct or a conscious disregard for the best interests of the corporation in a proceeding by or in the right of the corporation to procure a judgment in its favor or in a proceeding by or in the right of a shareholder.

(8) Indemnification and advancement of expenses as provided in this section shall continue as, unless otherwise provided when authorized or ratified, to a person who has ceased to be a director, officer, employee, or agent and shall inure to the benefit of the heirs, executors, and administrators of such a person, unless otherwise provided when authorized or ratified.

(9) Unless the corporation's articles of incorporation provide otherwise, notwithstanding the failure of a corporation to provide indemnification, and despite any contrary determination of the board or of the shareholders in the specific case, a director, officer, employee, or agent of the corporation who is or was a party to a proceeding may apply for indemnification or advancement of expenses, or both, to the court conducting the proceeding, to the circuit court, or to another court of competent jurisdiction. On receipt of an application, the court, after giving any notice that it considers necessary, may order indemnification and advancement of expenses, including expenses incurred in seeking court-ordered indemnification or advancement of expenses, if it determines that:

(a) The director, officer, employee, or agent is entitled to mandatory indemnification under subsection (3), in which case the court shall also order the corporation to pay the director reasonable expenses incurred in obtaining court-ordered indemnification or advancement of expenses;

(b) The director, officer, employee, or agent is entitled to indemnification or advancement of expenses, or both, by virtue of the exercise by the corporation of its power pursuant to subsection (7); or

(c) The director, officer, employee, or agent is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnification or advancement of expenses, or both, in view of all the relevant circumstances, regardless of whether such person met the standard of conduct set forth in subsection (1), subsection (2), or subsection (7).

(10) For purposes of this section, the term "corporation" includes, in addition to the resulting corporation, any constituent corporation (including any constituent of a constituent) absorbed in a consolidation or merger, so that any person who is or was a director, officer, employee, or agent of a constituent corporation, or is or was serving at the request of a constituent corporation as a director, officer, employee, or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, or other enterprise, is in the same position under this section with respect to the resulting or surviving corporation as he or she would have with respect to such constituent corporation if its separate existence had continued.

(11) For purposes of this section:

(a) The term "other enterprises" includes employee benefit plans;

(b) The term "expenses" includes counsel fees, including those for appeal;

(c) The term "liability" includes obligations to pay a judgment, settlement, penalty, fine (including an excise tax assessed with respect to any employee benefit plan), and expenses actually and reasonably incurred with respect to a proceeding;

(d) The term "proceeding" includes any threatened, pending, or completed action, suit, or other type of proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative, or investigative and whether formal or informal;

(e) The term "agent" includes a volunteer;

(f) The term "serving at the request of the corporation" includes any service as a director, officer, employee, or agent of the corporation that imposes duties on such persons, including duties relating to an employee benefit plan and its participants or beneficiaries; and

(g) The term "not opposed to the best interest of the corporation" describes the actions of a person who acts in good faith and in a manner he or she reasonably believes to be in the best interests of the participants and beneficiaries of an employee benefit plan.

(12) A corporation shall have power to purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of any person who is or was a director, officer, employee, or agent of the corporation or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director, officer, employee, or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, or other enterprise against any liability asserted against the person and incurred by him or her in any such capacity or arising out of his or her status as such, whether or not the corporation would have the power to indemnify the person against such liability under the provisions of this section.
