Asset Purchase Agreement
THIS ASSET PURCHASE AGREEMENT (the "Agreement") is made and entered into by and
among AmeriNet Group.com, Inc., a publicly held Delaware corporation with a
class of securities registered under Section 12(g) of the Securities Exchange
Act of 1934, as amended ("AmeriNet" and the "Exchange Act," respectively);
Lorilei Communications, Inc., a Florida corporation and wholly owned subsidiary
of AmeriNet ("Lorilei"); and, AmeriNet Communications, Inc., a Florida
corporation and wholly owned subsidiary of AmeriNet ("AmeriCom"), AmeriNet,
Lorilei and AmeriCom being sometimes hereinafter collectively referred to as the
"Parties" or generically as a "Party").
Preamble:
WHEREAS, in light of the resignation of Gerald R. Cunningham and his
spouse, Leigh A. Cunningham ("Mr. and Mrs. Cunningham") as officers and
directors of Lorilei, in violation of their obligations under their employment
agreements with Lorilei and the reorganization agreement between them and
AmeriNet, AmeriNet believes that it would be imprudent to continue to loan
operating and other funds required by Lorilei; and
WHEREAS, without continuing capital infusions Lorilei will not be able to
continue its operations, will be unable to make payments required to maintain
ownership of its current assets and may be subjected to material litigation due
to its inability to meet contractual obligations; and
WHEREAS, AmeriNet has caused the organization of AmeriCom to engage in
business activities similar to those heretofore engaged in by Lorilei and is
willing to provide AmeriCom with limited operating loans in order to permit it
to acquire Lorilei's assets and certain of its existing operations, in
consideration for assumption of specified liabilities of Lorilei associated with
such assets and operations; and
WHEREAS, the boards of directors of AmeriNet, Lorilei and AmeriCom have all
recommended that Lorilei sell all of its assets and specified operations to
AmeriCom in order to limit its exposure to litigation that would otherwise be
expected to occur and AmeriNet, as the sole stockholder of Lorilei and AmeriCom,
has approved such transaction:
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the covenants, promises and
representations set forth herein, and for other good and valuable consideration,
the Parties, intending to be legally bound, hereby agree as follows:

Existing Defaults
While Lorilei has not received any notice of default on any of their material
contracts such as equipment finance leases, Lorilei would like to disclose that
some payments on leases have not been made in a timely manner.
FINOVA Loan Administration repossessed the Pre-Press Film equipment on 9/19/00
previously to Lorilei's request. It was Lorilei's intention to have the
Pre-Press repossessed because Lorilei was unable to make any revenue from
offering this service. Lorilei tried to exchange the equipment for something
more useful but to no avail.
The Bank of America automobile loan is for the Volvo. In August, 2000, Lorilei
notified Bank of America that Gerald R. Cunningham has resigned, filed
bankruptcy and left the State of Florida. Lorilei further informed Bank of
American that the Volvo was for Gerald's primary use and since he is no longer
employed, that Lorilei had no use for the vehicle and would like the vehicle
repossessed. No payment has been made to Bank of America since July 2000. To
date, Lorilei has not been contacted as to when the repossession will take
place.

Litigation
To Lorilei's knowledge, there are not actions, suits or proceedings
pending, or, threatened or anticipated before any court or governmental or
administrative body or agency affecting the Business, except the following
information.
During the month of August 1999, Lorilei placed a spot air time buy on
behalf of a client with Home & Garden Television ("HGTV"). The total buy for
this flight was $21,420.00. Not long after the buy was placed, trade industry
reports made allegations that HGTV inserted national spots in local break slots.
This allegation proved to be true for some customers which meant that there was
a possibility that our client's spot did not air according to the buy scheduled.
In any event, Gerald R. Cunningham, former CEO of Lorilei, wanted proof from
HGTV that this was not the case and that our client's spot ran according to
schedule. After many months of correspondence between Lorilei and HGTV, this
issue was never resolved. Gerald R. Cunningham never was satisfied with the
proof that HGTV provided. The account was then forwarded to HGTV's collection
agency. The outcome was the same, Gerald R. Cunningham refused to come to a
resolution with HGTV based on the insufficient proof provided. The account has
been forwarded to the collection agency's legal department. To date, no suit has
been filed to Lorilei's knowledge.
Sheryl Wolf, a former sales representative, for Lorilei resigned on June
28, 2000. She resigned due to irreconcilable differences with Gerald R.
Cunningham, CEO and Leigh A. Cunningham, President. Shortly after her departure,
she obtained an attorney who wrote a demand letter for past wages that Sheryl
felt she was entitled to based on her commission structure. Lorilei hired their
attorney to respond to Sheryl's demand. The response from Lorilei's attorney
basically stated that there was no basis for her claim. To date, not suit has
been filed to Lorilei's knowledge.
On August 1, 2000, Gerald R. Cunningham and Leigh A. Cunningham resigned
from Lorilei. Shortly thereafter, Gerald R. Cunningham obtained an attorney
demanding collection of his last paycheck for 8/5/00, for wages 8/16-8/31/00.
Lorilei's Legal Affairs Department responded by informing Cunningham's attorney
that Gerald R. Cunningham had violated his employment agreement and therefore
Lorilei did not feel it was their duty to pay him the last paycheck. To date,
not suit has been filed to Lorilei's knowledge.
On September 19, 2000 a 10 day demand letter was sent to Edward Waters
College. Edward Waters College ("EWC") owes Lorilei $27,300.37 for infomercial
production, CD Rom authoring, creation of promotional items, graphic and print
services. While Lorilei feels that they have gone above and beyond the
parameters of the contracts to provide a finished product that meets EWC's
approval, EWC will not make payment on their account or communicate with
Lorilei.
September 1, 1999, Leigh Cunningham executed an office lease for a sales
office in Orlando with Corporate Investments, Inc. There were trade arrangements
made in the amount of
<PAGE>
Exhibit 3.1(C)(1)
Litigation
$5,000.00. Basically, The Firm Multimedia would produce an infomercial for
Corporate Investments International, Inc. In return, The Firm Multimedia would
occupy one of their office suites. Sometime during the year Corporate
Investments International, Inc. decided that they wanted a CD-Rom instead of a
infomercial. As of October 16, 2000, The Firm Multimedia has completed the
CD-Rom and sent it to Corporate Investments International, Inc. for approval. On
October 13, 2000, Lorilei received a letter from Corporate Investment
International's attorney demanding payment in full for the one year lease term
and threaten that suit would be filed if no payment is received. Lorilei's legal
affairs department has replied and provided information in reference to the
above events. Lorilei feels that this is a misunderstanding and that this issue
will be resolved out of court.
