INFORMATION STATEMENT PURSUANT TO
REGULATION 14C PROMULGATED UNDER THE
SECURITIES EXCHANGE ACT OF 1934
WE ARE NOT ASKING YOU FOR YOUR PROXY AND YOU ARE REQUESTED NOT TO SEND
US A PROXY. THE ACTIONS DESCRIBED BELOW HAVE ALREADY BEEN APPROVED BY WRITTEN
CONSENT OF HOLDERS OF A MAJORITY OF ARMITEC, INC'S OUTSTANDING SHARES OF COMMON
STOCK. A VOTE OF THE REMAINING STOCKHOLDERS IS NOT NECESSARY. PLEASE DO NOT SEND

Pursuant to the requirements of Section 14(c) of the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934 and Section 228(d) of the General Corporation Law of the
State of Delaware (the "Delaware Corporation Law"), this information statement
is being mailed on or about December 8, 2000 to holders of record as of
September 22, 2000 (the "Record Date") of shares of common stock, par value
$0.00167 ("Common Stock"), of Armitec, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the
"Company" or "Armitec"). It is being furnished in connection with:
- an amendment to the Company's Amended and Restated Certificate of
Incorporation by written consent of the holders of a majority of the outstanding
shares of Common Stock, which effected a one-for-ten reverse stock split of the
Company's issued and outstanding Common Stock;
- the adoption of an amendment to the Company's Amended and Restated
Certificate of Incorporation by written consent of the holders of a majority of
the outstanding shares of Common Stock (the "Majority of the Shareholders"),
which changed the name of the Company from Family Health Systems, Inc. to
Armitec, Inc., and increased the authorized shares of Common Stock of the
Company to Fifty Million (50,000,000); and
- a Plan and Agreement to Exchange Stock by and among Armitec.com, Inc.
("Armitec.com"), the Armitec.com shareholders and the Company.
THE REVERSE STOCK SPLIT
On April 1, 1993, the Company's Board of Directors approved an
amendment to the Company's Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation to
effect a one-for-ten reverse stock split (the "Reverse Split") of the Company's
then issued and outstanding Common Stock (the "Prior Common"). The amendment was
approved in a written consent executed by the holders of more than a majority of
the outstanding shares of Common Stock.
Pursuant to the Reverse Split, each of the ten shares of Prior Common
issued and outstanding was reclassified as, and exchanged for, one share of
newly issued Common Stock, par value $.00167 ("New Common").
<PAGE> 3
The Reverse Split occurred on April 30, 1993 (the "Effective Date")
without any further action on the part of stockholders of the Company and
without regard to the date or dates on which certificates representing shares of
Prior Common are actually surrendered by each holder thereof for certificates
representing the number of shares of the New Common that each such stockholder
is entitled to receive as a consequence of the Reverse Split. After the
Effective Date of the Reverse Split, the certificates representing shares of
Prior Common represent one-tenth the number of shares of New Common.
Certificates representing shares of New Common will be issued in due course as
old certificates are tendered for exchange. No fractional shares of New Common
will be issued and, in lieu thereof, stockholders holding a number of shares of
Prior Common not evenly divisible by 10, and stockholders holding fewer than 10
shares of Prior Common prior to the Effective Date, upon surrender of their old
certificates, will receive one share of stock in lieu of fractional shares of
New Common.
The Reverse Split did not materially affect the proportionate equity
interest in the Company of any holder of Prior Common or the relative rights,
preferences, privileges or priorities of any such stockholder, and the par value
per share of the Common Stock was not changed. The New Common issued pursuant to
the Reverse Split will be fully paid and non-assessable. All shares of New
Common will have the same par value, voting rights and other rights as shares of
the Prior Common have. Stockholders of the Company do not have preemptive rights
to acquire additional shares of Common Stock which may be issued.
THE AMENDMENTS
On August 24, 2000, the Board of Directors ("Board") unanimously and
the holders of a majority of the outstanding voting securities of the Company
approved, by written consent, an amendment to the Company's Amended and Restated
Certificate of Incorporation which changed the name of the Company from Family
Health Systems, Inc. to Armitec, Inc. (the "Name Change"), and increased the
authorized shares of Common Stock of the Company to Fifty Million (50,000,000)
(the "Authorized Share Increase"). An amendment to the Company's Certificate of
Incorporation reflecting the Name Change and the Authorized Share Increase was
filed with the Secretary of the State of Delaware on August 30, 2000.
THE SHARE EXCHANGE
On September 15, 2000, the Board unanimously and the Majority of the
Shareholders approved the terms of the purchase of Armitec.com, Inc. Those basic
terms involve the issuance of the Company's Common Stock to the shareholders of
Armitec.com in exchange for their shares of Armitec.com., so that after the
issuance, the shareholders of Armitec.com will hold 45.68% of the outstanding
shares of the Company and the current shareholders of the Company will retain
10.00% ownership. Additionally, 39.32% of the outstanding shares of the Company
will be reserved for use in a Private Offering of such shares in order to raise
capital for the Company. To the extent that such shares are not sold in a
Private Placement, the Armitec.com shareholders may purchase such shares for a
nominal amount. Additionally, 5.00% of the outstanding shares of the Company
will be reserved to hire consultants to assist the Company after the
acquisition.

<PAGE> 4
The Majority of the Shareholders currently beneficially own
approximately 71% of the Armitec Common Stock, representing approximately 71% of
the voting power of the shareholders of Armitec.
On September 15, 2000, the Company executed a definitive Plan and
Agreement to Exchange Stock with Armitec.com (the "Exchange Agreement"). A copy
of the Plan and Agreement to Exchange Stock is attached to this information
statement as Exhibit A.
A written consent executed by the Majority of the Shareholders of
Armitec approving the Exchange Agreement was executed on September 15, 2000.
The closing date of the Exchange Agreement is dependent upon the
completion and satisfaction of required shareholder consents and notifications.
This information Statement is being mailed on or about December 8,
2000 to all holders of Armitec's Common Stock.
The Board of Directors believe that the terms and provisions of the
Exchange Agreement are fair to and in the best interest of Armitec and holders
of Armitec common stock.
THIS TRANSACTION HAS NOT BEEN APPROVED OR DISAPPROVED BY THE SECURITIES
AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION (THE "SEC") OR ANY STATE SECURITIES COMMISSION, NOR HAS
THE SEC OR ANY STATE SECURITIES COMMISSION PASSED UPON THE FAIRNESS OR THE
MERITS OF SUCH TRANSACTION NOR UPON THE ACCURACY OR ADEQUACY OF THE INFORMATION
CONTAINED IN THIS DOCUMENT. ANY REPRESENTATION TO THE CONTRARY IS UNLAWFUL.
QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS ABOUT THE INFORMATION STATEMENT
Q: WHAT IS THE REVERSE SPLIT?
A: On April 1, 1993, the Company's Board of Directors approved an
amendment to the Company's Amended and Restated Certificate of
Incorporation to effect a one-for-ten reverse stock split of the
Company's then issued outstanding Common Stock (the "Prior Common").
The amendment was approved in a written consent executed by the holders
of more than a majority of the outstanding shares of Common Stock.
Pursuant to the Reverse Split, each of the ten shares of Prior Common
issued and outstanding was reclassified as, and exchanged for, one
share of newly issued Common Stock, par value $0.00167 ("New Common").
Q: WHY DID ARMITEC APPROVE THE REVERSE SPLIT?
A: On or about February 2, 1988, the Company's listing on NASDAQ was
suspended when its assets and net worth fell below the NASDAQ minimum
requirements. In connection with an attempted acquisition in 1993, the
one-for-ten reverse stock split of the Company's common stock was
approved in order to assist the Company in having its stock re-listed
on either the American Stock Exchange or the NASDAQ.
Q: WHAT SHOULD I DO IF I HAVE NOT ALREADY EXCHANGED ANY PRIOR COMMON?
A: On April 30, 1993, Armitec mailed a letter to all of its Shareholders
on the procedure to exchange shares of Prior Common for New Common. If
you have not already exchanged your shares of Prior Common for New
Common, you may do so in accordance with written instructions you will
receive after the closing of the Exchange Agreement.
3
<PAGE> 5
Q: WHY DID THE COMPANY CHANGE ITS NAME?
A: The Company was formed to provide comprehensive business services to
physicians, dentists and professional corporations operating full
service dental centers and emergency/industrial medical centers. The
Company exited this business in fiscal 1987. Because of the Share
Exchange Agreement with Armitec.com and the Company's new business
activities after the expected completion of the Share Exchange, the
Board unanimously and the holders of a majority of the outstanding
voting securities of the Company approved, by written consent, the name
change of the Company to "Armitec, Inc."
Q: WHAT ARE THE EFFECTS OF THE SHARE INCREASE?
A: The Board unanimously and the holders of a majority of the outstanding
voting securities of the Company approved, by written consent, an
increase in the authorized shares of Common Stock of the Company from
Twenty Million (20,000,000) to Fifty Million (50,000,000). The increase
in the authorized shares may have a dilutive effect on current
shareholders, decrease the percentage ownership of current shareholders
or have anti-takeover effect. For more information, see "The Amendments
-- Effect of the Authorized Share Increase."
Q: WHY DID ARMITEC INCREASE ITS AUTHORIZED SHARES OF COMMON STOCK?
A: Due to the reverse stock split, the Board of Directors of Armitec did
not believe that the Company had a sufficient number of authorized but
unissued stock to raise capital for the Company or to allow the Company
to use its common stock to acquire interests in other companies. Any
issuance of such shares will have a dilutive effect. The Armitec Board
of Directors also considered other factors in deciding to increase
Armitec's authorized shares of Common Stock. See "The Amendments --
Reasons for the Approval of the Armitec Board."
Q: WHAT IS THE EXCHANGE AGREEMENT?
A: Armitec, Inc. will acquire Armitec.com, Inc. in a stock exchange
whereby the Shareholders of Armitec.com will receive shares of Armitec.
Armitec.com will become a wholly owned subsidiary of Armitec and the
Armitec.com shareholders as a group will receive 13,940,785 shares of
the Armitec common stock, or 45.68% ownership of Armitec. For more
information on the Exchange Agreement, see "Exhibit A: Plan and
Agreement to Exchange Stock."
Q: WHY DID ARMITEC AGREE TO THE EXCHANGE AGREEMENT?
A: Armitec's Board of Directors believes that the terms and provisions of
the Exchange Agreement with Armitec.com are fair and in the best
interests of Armitec and its stockholders. For more information on the
reasons Armitec has approved the Exchange Agreement, see "The
Acquisition of Armitec.com, Inc. - Reasons for the Approval of the
Armitec Board."
Q: WHAT WILL THE ARMITEC.COM SHAREHOLDERS RECEIVE IN THE EXCHANGE
AGREEMENT?
A: In connection with the Exchange Agreement, Armitec will assign,
transfer and deliver to the Armitec.com shareholders 13,940,785 shares
of Armitec common stock, representing 45.68% ownership of Armitec. For
more information on the Exchange Agreement, see "Exhibit A: Plan and
Agreement to Exchange Stock."
Q: HOW WILL THE EXCHANGE AGREEMENT AFFECT ME?
A: After issuance of the Armitec common stock to the shareholders of
Armitec.com, and the reservation of common stock for consulting
services and issuance through a private placement of shares to occur
within six (6) months of the closing of the Exchange Agreement, current
Armitec shareholders will hold as a group, 3,051,857 shares of Armitec
common stock, or 10% of the fully-diluted Armitec common stock.
Q: WHAT RIGHTS DO I HAVE IF I OPPOSE THE EXCHANGE AGREEMENT?
A: If you wish, you may dissent and seek an appraisal of the fair market
value of your shares, but only if you comply with all Delaware laws and
procedures. For more information, see "Outstanding Stock and Appraisal
Rights" and "Exhibit B: Appraisal Rights Statute."

<PAGE> 6

A: The Securities and Exchange Commission and federal securities laws

were not solicited. We are providing you with this Information
Statement because the Exchange Agreement was approved by the written
consent of the holders of a majority of Armitec's stock and proxies
were not required to be solicited.
Q: SHOULD I SEND IN MY SHARE CERTIFICATE?
A: No. We will send you written instructions for exchanging your share
certificates promptly after the closing of the Exchange Agreement.
Q: WHAT VOTE WAS REQUIRED TO APPROVE THE EXCHANGE AGREEMENT?
A: The approval of the Exchange Agreement required the affirmative vote of
the holders of a majority of the shares issued, outstanding and
entitled to vote as of the date the written consent was executed,
September 15, 2000.
Q: WHAT ARE THE FEDERAL TAX CONSEQUENCES OF THE EXCHANGE AGREEMENT TO ME?
A: The Exchange Agreement should be tax free to Armitec shareholders. For
more information on the federal tax consequences, "The Acquisition of
Armitec.com, Inc. -- Federal Income Tax Consequences."

after this information statement is mailed to shareholders.

THE REVERSE SPLIT
For information on the Reverse Split and the reasons for the Reverse
Split, please read the introductory information and the question and answer
section provided in this information statement. The Reverse Split did not
result in any change in the Company's status as a reporting company for federal
securities law purposes, and the receipt of New Common in the Reverse Split
should not result in any taxable gain or loss to stockholders for federal
income tax purposes.
THE AMENDMENTS
For general information on the Amendments, please read the
introductory information and the question and answer section provided in this
information statement.
Reasons for the Approval of the Armitec Board
In approving the Authorized Share Increase, the Armitec Board
considered factors, including, but not limited to, the following. The
Authorized Share Increase will: (a) give Armitec additional shares to effect
the Exchange Agreement, and (b) allow the Board of Directors to (i) react
without further Stockholder approval to the Company's capital needs, (ii)
pursue strategic opportunities that may arise in the future, (iii) respond to
business opportunities and pursue objectives that may arise in the future
including financings, acquisitions, strategic business relationships or stock
dividends or stock splits, and (iv) enable management to attract and retain
talented employees through a grant of stock options and other stock based
incentives.
Effects of the Authorized Share Increase
Depending on the consideration per share received by Armitec for any
subsequent issuance of Common Stock, such issuance could have a dilutive effect
on those stockholders who paid a higher consideration per share for their
stock. Also, future issuances will increase the number of outstanding shares of
Common Stock, thereby decreasing the percentage ownership in Armitec (for
voting, distributions and all other purposes) represented by existing share of
Common Stock. The availability for issuance of the additional shares of Common
Stock and any issuance thereof, or both, may be viewed as having the effect of
discouraging an unsolicited attempt by another person or entity to acquire
control of Armitec. This may have an anti-takeover effect. The Authorized Share
Increase is not part of a plan by Armitec's management to adopt a series of
anti-takeover measures, and was done for the reasons listed above.

of Armitec.com will hold 45.68% of the outstanding shares of the Company and the
current shareholders of the Company will retain 10.00% ownership. Additionally,

outstanding shares of the Company will be reserved to hire consultants to assist
the Company after the acquisition. See "The Acquisition of Armitec.com, Inc."
and "Exhibit A: Plan and Agreement to Exchange Stock."
WRITTEN CONSENT
Under Section 228 of the Delaware General Corporation Law such actions
can be authorized, provided shareholders holding at least a majority of the
outstanding shares of Armitec entitled to vote on the matter at the Record Date
give their written consent thereto. On September 15, 2000, the Majority of the
Shareholders approved the terms of the purchase of Armitec.com, Inc.
INTERESTS OF CERTAIN PERSONS IN THE ACQUISITION
The interests of certain members of the Management of Armitec could be
different than those of other Armitec shareholders. See "The Acquisition of
Armitec.com, Inc.-- Certain Relationships and Related Transactions."
CLOSING AND CONDITIONS OF THE ACQUISITION
The acquisition of Armitec.com shall become effective at such time as
the Conditions Precedent for closing the Exchange Agreement have been either
satisfied or waived, and the required Shareholder consents and notifications are
completed. See "Exhibit A: Plan and Agreement to Exchange Stock."
TERMINATION OF THE EXCHANGE AGREEMENT
The Exchange Agreement may be terminated by either Armitec or
Armitec.com prior to the closing under certain circumstances. See "Exhibit A:

After closing the acquisition of Armitec.com, Armitec.com will become a

<PAGE> 9
effective at closing, and Armitec.com will reconstitute the Board of Directors
as specified in the Exchange Agreement and in this Information Statement. The
corporate offices of Armitec will be moved to the principal offices of
Armitec.com post-closing. See "The Acquisition of Armitec.com - Certain

THE ACQUISITION CONSIDERATION

receive on a pro rata basis, determined by their percent ownership of the
outstanding common stock of Armitec.com, shares of Armitec Common Stock
constituting 45.68% of the post acquisition Fully-Diluted shares of Armitec
Common Stock. The stock exchange encompassed by the Exchange Agreement
contemplates the issuance of shares of Armitec Common Stock in excess of the
current number of outstanding Common Stock shares and will dilute current
shareholders of Armitec Common Stock to 10% Fully-Diluted ownership
post-acquisition.
ACCOUNTING TREATMENT
The acquisition will be accounted for as a purchase of net monetary
assets of Armitec by Armitec.com in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles. "See the Acquisition of Armitec.com--Accounting
Treatment."
DISPOSITION OF CURRENT OPERATIONS
Due to the lack of synergy between current operations of Armitec and
the operations of Armitec.com, and the poor financial performance experienced in
recent months from Armitec's operations, the Board of Directors authorized Mr.
Bryant to discontinue Armitec's operations. See "Background Information on
Armitec, Inc. -Disposition of Current Operations."

LISTING ARMITEC COMMON STOCK
Armitec's common stock will trade in the over-the-counter market.
Armitec's common stock was listed on the NASDAQ National Market System, under
the symbol FHSI until November 26, 1986, at which time such listing was
suspended because FHSI assets and net worth fell below the minimum required
levels. FHSI was reinstated on NASDAQ on April 2, 1987, but was again suspended
on February 12, 1988 when its assets and net worth fell below the NASDAQ minimum
requirements. There was no trading of FHSI common stock on any listed exchange
during calendar years 1995, 1996, 1997, 1998 and 1999.
On September 8, 2000, Armitec received a new symbol from NASDAQ. As of
that date, Armitec's trading symbol on the OTC Bulletin Board is AMTI. Armitec
is currently in the process of having its stock relisted on the OTC Bulletin
Board.
SELECTED HISTORICAL FINANCIAL INFORMATION
Armitec and Armitec.com are providing certain selected financial
information to assist you in your analysis of the Exchange Agreement. This
information is only a summary and you should read it in conjunction with the
historical financial statements of Armitec and the related notes contained in
the Annual Report on Form 10-KSB/A. Results of operations for unaudited interim
periods are not necessarily indicative of the results that may occur for any
other interim period or any annual period.
THE ACQUISITION OF ARMITEC.COM, INC.
BACKGROUND OF THE OFFER AND THE ACQUISITION
Armitec, Inc. was organized to provide comprehensive administrative,
marketing and consulting services to group dental and medical practices and
began operations on May 1, 1983. Effective in October 1987, all administrative
and marketing agreements had been terminated. Since 1987, Armitec has been
seeking a merger or business combination for itself.
In August, 2000, Armitec and Armitec.com began discussions concerning
the use of Armitec as a reverse merger vehicle to position Armitec.com in the
public market.
On August 29, 2000, Armitec and Armitec.com completed negotiations and
determined that a 90/10 split of the post-transaction equity of Armitec was an
acceptable and fair deal for the shareholders of both parties. On September 15,
2000, the Exchange Agreement was signed. It was a non-binding agreement subject
to the completion of due diligence and exchange of Schedules outlined in the
Exchange Agreement.

<PAGE> 11
APPROVAL OF THE ARMITEC BOARD
The Armitec Board of Directors, on September 15, 2000, unanimously
approved the Exchange Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby,
including the acquisition, and determined that the acquisition, and the
transactions contemplated thereby are in the best interests of Armitec and its
shareholders. The Board of Directors, consisting of Mr. Donald C. Carman and Mr.
William S. Bryant, gave their consent to the actions contemplated. On the Record
Date, the Board of Directors as a group hold approximately 41% of the Voting
Stock of Armitec.
REASONS FOR THE APPROVAL OF THE ARMITEC BOARD
In approving the Exchange Agreement, the Armitec Board considered a
number of factors, including, but not limited to, the following:
1. The familiarity of the Armitec Board with the financial
condition, results of operations, business and prospects of Armitec.
2. That Armitec's financial condition, results of operations,
business and prospects make it doubtful that Armitec is strong enough to carry
its operations forward or sustain itself, if this acquisition is not
consummated.
3. The share exchange with Armitec.com gives the shareholders of
Armitec the opportunity to participate in a unique market.
4. A review by Armitec's Management of a range of alternative
strategies that might be pursued, the possible values that might be achieved
through those strategies, and the Armitec Board's conclusion that these
alternative strategies entailed increased risk and, in any event, were unlikely
to result in greater value to Armitec or its shareholders than the acquisition
of Armitec.com on the terms specified in the Exchange Agreement.
The foregoing discussion of the information and factors considered and
given weight by the Armitec's Board is not intended to be exhaustive. In view of
the variety of factors considered in connection with its evaluation of the
Exchange Agreement, the Armitec Board did not find it practicable to, and did
not, quantify or otherwise assign relative weights to the specific factors
considered in reaching its determination. In addition, individual members of the
Armitec Board may have given different weights to different factors.
10
<PAGE> 12
ACCOUNTING TREATMENT
The acquisition of Armitec.com will be accounted for as a purchase of
net monetary assets of Armitec by Armitec.com in accordance with generally
accepted accounting principles. The acquisition is a reverse purchase of the
assets and liabilities of Armitec by Armitec.com. The accounting treatment
applied in the reverse transaction differs from the legal form of the
transaction and the continuing legal entity is Armitec.
MATERIAL TERMS OF EXCHANGE AGREEMENT
The following is a summary of the material provisions of the Exchange
Agreement by and among Armitec.com, the Armitec.com Shareholders and Armitec.
This summary does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by
reference to the definitive Exchange Agreement, which is attached as Exhibit A.

outstanding Armitec Common Stock post-closing. The pre-closing holders of
Armitec Common Stock shall retain their shares which, immediately following the
issuance of Armitec Common Stock to the Armitec.com shareholders in connection
with the closing of the Acquisition shall constitute 10% of the fully-diluted
shares of Armitec Common Stock post-closing. Additionally, 39.32% of the
outstanding shares of the Company will be reserved for use in a Private Offering
of such shares in order to raise capital for the Company. To the extent that

may purchase such shares for a nominal amount. Additionally, 5.00% of the
outstanding shares of the Company will be reserved to hire consultants to assist
the Company after the acquisition.

and local law enforcement personnel, fire department personnel, emergency
medical technicians, private security personnel, and for sale by postal
retailers and catalog houses. Armitec.com intends to use the internet and direct
mail to reach is direct customer base, and employ sales representatives to sell
to retailers and catalog houses. Armitec.com is currently in the development
stage of its business and is in the process of entering into arrangements and
agreements to implement its business plan. Armitec.com was organized to develop
and operate a retail web site on the Internet specializing in the uniform
industry. Armitec.com also intends to manufacture uniforms and accessories to
sell to retailers and catalog houses. At this time, Armitec.com is still in the
process of designing and developing its web site, and has not made final
decisions with respect to a web design firm, web development firm, a hosting
services provider or other necessary Internet vendors.
MARKET OVERVIEW
The uniform industry is very fragmented and currently made up of a
small number of manufacturers located throughout the United States. Most large
uniform manufacturers sell to retailers or catalog houses who then sell to the
ultimate end user or consumer. In addition, rather than performing manufacturing
operations, most large catalog houses purchase their products from the various
manufacturers and price the merchandise as a retailer does. Because Armitec.com
intends to manufacture most of its own products and sell directly to consumers,
28
<PAGE> 30
Armitec.com believes that it can price its products lower than the prices of
similar products available through traditional sources and still maintain strong
gross margins.
Because the typical consumer of uniform products generally receives a
fixed uniform allowance, Armitic.com believes that it can offer customers
specific annual dollar savings which can be used for unrelated purposes or,
optimally, to purchase additional uniform items from Armitec.com.
Unlike the private sector, growth in the uniform market is often
regulated by the budget constraints set by local, state and federal agencies.
Armitec.com believes that growth in this market will generally track the general
economic conditions and population growth rates. Armitec.com believes that the
normal projected growth in population will increase the entire customer base
and, coupled with Armitec.com's program to attract present consumers, provide
the growth factor predicted by Armitec.com.
Additionally, the uniform industry is less susceptible to the general
volatility experienced in other sectors of the apparel industry as a result of
changing fashion trends. Armitec.com believes that this will help to insulate
Armitec.com from inventory losses brought about by changes in style, allow
Armitec.com to focus on marketing its products, and largely avoid the need to
continually design new and accepted products.
RISK FACTORS
Service and product related businesses based on Internet E-commerce
face inherent risks that may prevent Armitec.com from entering this market. If
any of the following risks actually occur, Armitec.com's business, financial
conditions or results of operation could be materially harmed. If Armitec.com's
business is harmed, the trading price of Armitec's stock could decline and you
could lose all or part of your investment.
WE ARE A NEW COMPANY WITH MINIMAL OPERATIONS TO DATE, AND WE HAVE NOT FORMALLY
LAUNCHED OUR WEB SITE
Armitec.com was formed in July 2000 and has had minimal operations to
date, which have consisted solely of expenses incurred in developing our
business plan. We are still in the process of designing and developing our web
site, and we have not made final decisions with respect to a web design firm,
web development firm, a hosting services provider or other necessary Internet
vendors. If we experience a delay in identifying and retaining qualified vendors
for the completion and launch of our web site, our ability to successfully
implement our business strategy will be adversely affected. In addition, since
we are dependent upon outside vendors for these services, our estimated time
frames will depend upon their availability.
LACK OF INTERNET-RELATED OPERATING HISTORY
As a new entrant to the Internet business, we face risks and
uncertainties relating to our ability to implement successfully the Internet
component of our business strategy, including:
(i) Successful design, development and launch of the
Armitec.com web site;
29
<PAGE> 31
(ii) Creation of public awareness of the Armitec.com brand
and web site; and
(iii) Successful expansion of our uniform sales businesses
on the Internet.
ACQUISITIONS
Armitec may make future acquisitions or investments in other companies,
facilities or technologies. Armitec may not realize the anticipated benefits of
any acquisition or investment. If Armitec makes any acquisitions, it will be
required to assimilate the operations, products and personnel of the acquired
businesses and train, retain and motivate key personnel from the acquired
businesses. Armitec may be unable to maintain uniform standards, controls,
procedures and policies if it fails in these efforts. Similarly, acquisitions
may cause disruptions in Armitec's operations and divert management's attention
from day-to-day operations, which could impair Armitec's relationships with
Armitec's current employees, customers and strategic partners. In addition,
Armitec's profitability may suffer because of acquisition-related costs or
amortization costs for acquired goodwill and other intangible assets.
ONLINE COMMERCE MARKET
The online commerce market is new, rapidly evolving and intensely
competitive. Increased competition is likely to result in price reductions,
reduced gross margins and loss of market share, any of which could seriously
harm Armitec.com's net sales and results of operations. Armitec.com expects
competition to intensify in the future because current and new competitors can
enter this market with little difficulty and can launch new web sites at a
relatively low cost. In addition, the development of new technologies and the
expansion of existing technologies, such as price comparison programs that
select specific products from a variety of web sites, may increase competitive
pressures on Armitec.com.
There are no assurances that Armitec.com will be able to be competitive
against current or potential competitors. Armitec.com will compete with a
variety of catalog-based uniform retailers, many of which have longer operating
histories, larger customer or user bases, greater brand recognition and
significantly greater financial, marketing, technical and other resources than
Armitec.com does. Many of these competitors have more extensive knowledge about
Armitec.com's industry and can devote substantially more resources to web site
development and advertising. In addition, new competitors may emerge in the
future and larger, well-established and well-financed entities may join with
online competitors the use of the Internet and other online services increases.
Armitec.com's competitors may be able to fulfill customer orders more
efficiently and adopt more aggressive pricing or inventory availability policies
than Armitec.com can. Furthermore, some competitors may price their products
below cost in an attempt to gain market share.
ACCEPTANCE OF BUSINESS MODEL
To be successful, Armitec.com must attract and retain a significant
number of consumers to its web site at a reasonable cost. Any significant
shortfall in the number of transactions occurring over Armitec.com's web site
will negatively affect its financial results by increasing or
30
<PAGE> 32
prolonging operating losses. Conversion of customers from traditional shopping
methods to electronic shopping may not occur as rapidly as Armitec.com expects,
or at all. Therefore, Armitec.com may not achieve the critical mass of customer
traffic it believes is necessary to become successful. Specific factors that
could prevent widespread customer acceptance of Armitec.com's online business
model, and Armitec.com's ability to grow its revenue, include:
(i) customer concerns about the security of online
transactions;
(ii) customer concerns about buying uniforms without first
seeing them;
(iii) delivery time before customers receive Internet
orders;
(iv) pricing that may not meet customer expectations;
(v) customer resistance to shipping charges;
(vi) shipment of damaged goods or wrong products from
Armitec.com's suppliers; and
(vii) difficulties in returning or exchanging orders.
CONCERNS ABOUT THE SECURITY OF THE PERSONAL INFORMATION WE GATHER
If the security of our web site is compromised, the information we
gather from our users, including credit card information, may be accessed by
unauthorized users accessing our systems remotely. In such an event, current and
potential users may be reluctant to use our services or provide us with the
personal information we need to adequately develop and maintain individual user
profiles. In addition, as a result of these security and privacy concerns, we
may incur significant costs to protect against the threat of security breaches
or to alleviate problems caused by security breaches, and we may be subject to
legal claims of users if unauthorized third parties gain access to our system
and alter, destroy or misappropriate our user's personal information. Also, any
public perception that we engaged in the unauthorized release of user
information, whether or not correct, would adversely affect our ability to
attract and retain users. In addition, the FTC and state agencies have been
investigating the use by Internet companies of personal information. We could
incur additional expenses if new regulations regarding the use of personal
information are introduced or if our privacy practices are investigated.
FAILURES OF OUR NETWORK INFRASTRUCTURE
Our ability to successfully create an interactive online community and
to deliver our services online depends in large part on the capacity,
reliability and security of our network hardware, software and
telecommunications infrastructure. Failures of our network infrastructure could
result in unanticipated expenses to address these failures and could prevent our
users from effectively utilizing our services, which could prevent us from
retaining and attracting users.
Our system is susceptible to natural and man-made disasters, including
fire, floods, earthquakes, power loss, telecommunications failures, break-ins
and similar events. Computer
31
<PAGE> 33
viruses, electronic break-ins or other similar disruptive problems could also
adversely affect the operation of our web site. Our insurance policies may not
compensate us for any losses that may occur due to any failures or interruptions
in our systems. We do not presently have any secondary "off-site" systems or a
formal disaster recovery plan. Any system failure that causes an interruption in
service or decreases the responsiveness of our service could impair our
reputation, damage our brand name and harm our revenues.
In addition, our users will depend on Internet service providers,
online service providers and other web site operators for access to our web
site. Due to the rapid growth of the Internet, many of these service providers
have experienced significant outages in the past and could experience outages,
delays and other difficulties due to system failures unrelated to our systems.
These problems could also harm our business by preventing users from effectively
utilizing our services.
TECHNOLOGICAL CHANGES
To be competitive, Armitec.com will need to continually enhance and
improve the functionality and features of Armitec.com's online store. The
Internet and the online commerce industry are rapidly changing. If competitors
introduce new products and services featuring new technologies, or if new
industry standards and practices emerge, Armitec.com's web site and proprietary
technology and systems may become obsolete. Armitec.com may use new technologies
ineffectively, or may be unable to license or otherwise obtain new technologies
from third parties. Armitec.com may also experience difficulties in adapting its
web site, the systems that it uses to process customers' orders and payments,
its computer network to customer requirements, new technologies or emerging
industry standards.
GOVERNMENTAL REGULATION OF THE INTERNET
Laws and regulations directly applicable to online commerce or Internet
communications are becoming more prevalent. These laws and regulations could
expose Armitec.com to compliance costs and substantial liability, which could
materially harm Armitec.com's business, operating results and financial
condition. In addition, the growth of the Internet, coupled with publicity
regarding Internet fraud, may lead to the enactment of more stringent consumer
protection laws. These laws would be likely to impose additional burdens on
Armitec.com's business. The adoption of any additional laws or regulations may
also inhibit the expansion of the Internet, which could reduce visits to
Armitec.com's online store or otherwise harm its business. In order to comply
with new or existing laws regulating online commerce, Armitec.com may need to
modify the manner in which it does business, which may result in additional
expenses and could slow Armitec.com's growth.
CREDIT CARD FRAUD
A failure to adequately control fraudulent credit card transactions
could reduce Armitec.com's net revenues and Armitec.com's gross margin.
Armitec.com may suffer losses as a result of orders placed with fraudulent
credit card data even though the associated financial institution approved
payment of the orders.
32
<PAGE> 34
ESTABLISHING BRAND NAME
Armitec.com believes that it must establish, maintain and enhance the
Armitec.com brand to attract customers to Armitec.com's web site and to generate
revenues from product sales. Brand recognition and customer loyalty will become
increasingly important as more companies with well-established uniform brands
offer competing products on the Internet. For example, existing uniform
retailers with established brand names may establish an online presence that
competes with Armitec.com's web site and existing online providers with better
name recognition than Armitec.com may begin selling products similar to
Armitec.com's products. Establishing the Armitec.com brand as a widely
recognized and trusted source of uniforms will depend largely on Armitec.com's
success in providing a high-quality online experience supported by a high level
of customer service, which cannot be assured.
PROPRIETARY RIGHTS
The steps Armitec.com takes to protect its proprietary rights may be
inadequate. Armitec.com regards copyrights, service marks, trademarks, trade
dress, trade secrets and similar intellectual property as critical to
Armitec.com's success. Armitec.com may rely on trademark and copyright law,
trade secret protection and confidentiality or license agreements with
Armitec.com's employees, customers, partners and others to protect Armitec.com's
proprietary rights. Despite these precautions, it may be possible for a third
party to copy or otherwise obtain and use Armitec.com's intellectual property
without Armitec.com's authorization. Effective trademark, service mark,
copyright and trade secret protection may not be available in every country in
which Armitec.com will sell its products and services online. If Armitec.com
becomes involved in litigation to defend Armitec.com's intellectual property
rights, it may have to spend significant amounts of money, and the litigation
could divert Armitec.com's management's time and efforts.
INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY CLAIMS
Third parties may in the future assert that Armitec.com has infringed
their trademarks or copyrights or engaged in unfair competition or other illegal
trade practices. Armitec.com may be unsuccessful in defending against any such
claim, which could result in substantial damages, fines or other penalties. The
resolution of a claim could also require Armitec.com to change how Armitec.com
does business, redesign Armitec.com's web site and other systems, or enter into
burdensome royalty or licensing agreements. In particular, Armitec.com may have
to enter into a license to use Armitec.com's domain name, or Armitec.com could
even be forced to change Armitec.com's name, either of which would severely harm
Armitec.com's business. These license or royalty agreements, if required, may
not be available on acceptable terms, if at all, in the event of a successful
claim of infringement. Armitec.com's insurance coverage may not be adequate to
cover every claim that could be asserted against Armitec.com. Even unsuccessful
claims could result in significant legal fees and other expenses, diversion of
management's time and disruptions in Armitec.com's business. Any such claim
could also harm Armitec.com's reputation and brand.
33
<PAGE> 35
INVENTORY THEFT
If the security measures implemented at any distribution facility that
Armitec.com may use or operate do not prevent inventory theft, Armitec.com's
expected gross margin may significantly decrease. Theft may increase as
Armitec.com expands its manufacturing and fulfillment operations and
distribution network. If measures Armitec.com takes to address inventory theft
do not reduce or prevent inventory theft, Armitec.com's gross margin and results
of operations could be significantly below expectations in future periods.
POTENTIAL TAXES
Armitec.com is generally not required to collect sales or other similar
taxes for physical shipments of goods into states other than its own. However,
one or more local, state or foreign jurisdictions may seek to impose sales tax
collection obligations on Armitec.com and other out-of-state companies that
engage in online commerce. If one or more states or any foreign country
successfully asserts that Armitec.com should collect sales or other taxes on the
sale of Armitec.com's merchandise, it could adversely affect Armitec.com's
business.
COMPETITION
Armitec.com faces a variety of competitive challenges from other
domestic and foreign uniform marketers, some of which have greater financial and
marketing resources than Armitec.com does. Armitec.com will compete with these
companies primarily on the basis of:
(i) anticipating and responding to changing consumer
demands in a timely manner;
(ii) maintaining favorable brand recognition;
(iii) pricing products;
(iv) providing strong and effective marketing support; and
(v) creating an acceptable value proposition for
customers.
Armitec.com may also face competition from companies selling uniform
products through the Internet. Increased competition from Internet-based
competitors, could reduce Armitec.com's sales and prices and adversely affect
Armitec.com's results of operations.
PRICE OF RAW MATERIALS
The principal fabrics used in Armitec.com's business are cotton,
synthetics, wools and blends. The prices Armitec.com pays for these fabrics are
dependent on the market price for raw materials used to produce them, primarily
cotton. The price and availability of cotton may fluctuate significantly,
depending on a variety of factors, including crop yields. Any raw material price
increases could increase Armitec.com's cost of sales and decrease Armitec.com's
profitability unless Armitec.com is able to pass higher prices on to
Armitec.com's customers.
34
<PAGE> 36
Moreover, any decrease in the availability of cotton could impair Armitec.com's
ability to meet Armitec.com's production requirements in a timely manner.
CUSTOMER TRAFFIC AND PURCHASE VOLUME
Armitec.com may not obtain enough customer traffic or a high enough
volume of purchases to generate sufficient revenues and achieve profitability.
Armitec.com intends to increase Armitec.com's operating expenses substantially
as it:
(i) increases its sales and marketing activities,
particularly advertising efforts;
(ii) increases its general and administrative functions to
support Armitec.com's growing operations;
(iii) expands its customer support to better serve customer
needs;
(iv) develops enhanced technologies and features to
improve its web site;
(v) enhances its distribution and order fulfillment
capabilities; and
(vi) expands, buys or builds distribution facilities.
Because Armitec.com will spend these amounts before it receives any
revenues from these efforts, Armitec.com's losses will be greater than the
losses it would incur if it developed its business more slowly. In addition,
Armitec.com may find that these efforts are more expensive than Armitec.com
currently anticipates, which would further increase Armitec.com's losses. Also,
the timing of these expenses may contribute to fluctuations in Armitec.com's
quarterly operating results.
FULFILLMENT OPERATIONS
Armitec.com must be able to fill customer orders quickly and
efficiently. If Armitec.com is unable to expand Armitec.com's fulfillment
operations and systems to accommodate increases in demand, it will not be able
to increase Armitec.com's net sales in accordance with expectations.
HIGH MERCHANDISE RETURNS
Armitec.com makes allowances in its financial statements for
anticipated merchandise returns. However, actual returns may exceed
Armitec.com's allowances. If merchandise returns increase significantly or
exceed Armitec.com's allowances, Armitec.com's financial condition and results
of operations could be adversely affected.
INVENTORY LEVELS
Armitec.com anticipates that it will carry an increasing amount of
inventory and that the percentage of sales made from inventory will rise. As a
result, it will be critical to Armitec.com's success that it does not
over-manufacture and overstock unpopular products.
35
<PAGE> 37
Predicting these trends is difficult. If demand for one or more of Armitec.com's
products falls short of Armitec.com's expectations, Armitec.com may be required
to take significant inventory markdowns, which could reduce Armitec.com's net
sales and gross margins. In addition, to the extent that demand for
Armitec.com's products increases over time, Armitec.com may be forced to
increase inventory levels. Any increase would subject Armitec.com to additional
inventory risks.
IMPORTING RISKS
Armitec.com may import raw materials and Armitec.com's import
operations may be subject to:
(i) quotas imposed by bilateral textile agreements
between the countries where Armitec.com may locate its facilities are
located and foreign countries;
(ii) customs duties imposed on imported products by the
governments where Armitec.com may locate its facilities; and
(iii) penalties imposed for, or adverse publicity relating
to, violations by foreign contractors of labor and wage standards.
In addition, the countries in which Armitec.com products get
manufactured or imported may from time-to-time impose additional new quotas,
duties, tariffs or other restrictions on Armitec.com's imports or adversely
modify existing restrictions. Adverse changes in these import costs and
restrictions could harm Armitec.com's business. In addition, Armitec.com's
business may be subject to risks generally associated with doing business in
countries other than the United States, including risks associated with foreign
governmental regulation and social, political and economic changes in such
countries.
KEY SUPPLIERS
Armitec.com may not have long-term supply agreements with any of its
principal suppliers, and may compete with other apparel companies for supply
capacity. Armitec.com cannot make assurances that it will be able to obtain
adequate supply if there occurs a significant disruption in any of Armitec.com's
supplier relationships, including any disruption caused by a change of control,
bankruptcy or other financial or operating difficulty of any of Armitec.com's
suppliers, or in the markets for the fabrics Armitec.com purchases, including
disruptions arising from mill closures or consolidation resulting from excess
industry capacity or otherwise. Any of those disruptions could impair
Armitec.com's ability to deliver products to customers in a timely manner and
harm Armitec.com's business.
MANUFACTURING CONCERNS
Armitec.com may manufacture a large percentage of its own products.
Shortages of raw materials, production capacity constraints, or delays by
Armitec.com's suppliers could negatively affect Armitec.com's ability to meet
Armitec.com's production obligations and result in increased prices for certain
components of Armitec.com's products.
36
<PAGE> 38
DISTRIBUTION NETWORK
Armitec.com's distribution network is also heavily dependent upon
third-party carriers, such as United Parcel Service and the United States Post
Office, for product shipments. Armitec.com is therefore subject to the risk that
labor shortages, strikes, inclement weather or other factors may limit the
ability of Armitec.com's carriers to meet Armitec.com's shipping needs.
Armitec.com's shippers' failure to deliver products to Armitec.com's customers
in a timely manner would damage Armitec.com's brand and adversely affect
Armitec.com's operating results.

COMPLIANCE WITH SECTION 16(A) OF THE EXCHANGE ACT
Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended,
requires directors, executive officers and 10% beneficial owners of any class of
equity securities of Armitec to file certain reports concerning their ownership
of Armitec's equity securities. Based solely upon a review of Forms 3 and 4 and
amendments thereto furnished to the Corporation during its most recently
completed fiscal year, and Forms 5 and amendments thereto furnished to Armitec
with respect to its most recently completed fiscal year, the directors, officers
and beneficial owners of 10% or more of any class of Armitec's securities which

Outstanding Stock and Appraisal Rights
Armitec presently has only one class of voting Stock outstanding,
namely its common Stock, which has a par value of $.00167. As of the Record
Date, there were 50,000,000 shares authorized and 3,051,857 shares of Common
Stock outstanding. The Majority of Stockholders held approximately 2,166,975
shares of Common Stock, or approximately 71% of Armitec's issued and outstanding
Common Stock.
Each holder of Common Stock would normally be entitled to one vote in
person or by proxy for each share of Common Stock in his or her name on the
books of Armitec, as of the Record Date, on any matter submitted to the vote of
stockholders. However, under Section 228(a) of the Delaware Corporation Law, any
action which may be taken at a stockholders' meeting may be taken by written
consent of the requisite number of stockholders required to take such action.
The approval of the Amendments and the Stock Exchange require the affirmative
vote or written consent of a majority of Armitec's outstanding Common Stock. On
September 15, 2000, the Board of Directors and the majority of stockholders
consented to the Amendments and Share Exchange.

This Information Statement is being provided for your information
purposes only. This Information Statement also constitutes your notice of the
availability to you of appraisal rights pursuant to Section 262 of the Delaware
Corporation Law.
Under Section 262 of the Delaware Corporation Law, holders of record of
Shares who do not wish to accept the terms of the Share Exchange have the right
to seek an appraisal of the fair value of their Shares in the Delaware Court of
Chancery (the "Delaware Court"). Holders of Shares wishing to assert this right
must, on or before the twentieth day after the mailing of this Information
Statement, make a written demand for the appraisal of their Shares to: Armitec,
Inc., Attention: President, Post Office Box 21238, St. Simons Island, GA 31522.
The demand must reasonably inform the Corporation of the identity of the
Stockholder making the demand as well as the intention of the Stockholder to
demand an appraisal of the fair value of the Shares held by the Stockholder.
Only a holder of record of Shares, or a person duly authorized and
explicitly purporting to act on his behalf, is entitled to assert an appraisal
right for the Shares registered in his name. Beneficial owners who are not
record holders and who wish to exercise appraisal are advised to consult
promptly with the appropriate record holders as to the timely exercise of
appraisal rights. A record holder, such as a broker, who holds Shares as a
nominee for others may exercise appraisal rights with respect to the Shares held
for one or more beneficial owners, while not exercising such rights for other
beneficial owners. In such a case, the written demand should set forth the
number of Shares as to which the demand is made. Where no Shares are expressly
mentioned, the demand will be presumed to cover all Shares held in the name of
such record holder.
A demand for the appraisal of Shares owned of record by two or more
joint holders must identify and be signed by, or on behalf of, all of the
holders. A demand for appraisal signed by trustees, executors, administrators,
guardians, attorneys-in-fact, officers of corporations or others acting in a
fiduciary or representative capacity must so identify the persons signing the
demand.
An appraisal demand may be withdrawn by a Stockholder within 60 days
after the Effective Time by written withdrawal of his demand for an appraisal
and an acceptance of the terms of the Share Exchange, or may be withdrawn
thereafter with the written approval of the Corporation.
Only a holder of record of Shares on the date of the making of an
appraisal demand with respect to such Shares who continuously holds such Shares
through the Effective Time, who has otherwise complied with the requirements of
Section 262 of the Delaware Corporation Law shall be entitled to an appraisal.
Within 120 days after the Effective Time (the "120-Day Period"), any
remaining Stockholder who has properly demanded an appraisal and who has not
withdrawn his demand as provided above (such Stockholders being referred to
collectively as the "Dissenting Stockholders") and the Corporation each have the
right to file in the Delaware Court a petition (the "Petition") demanding a
determination of the fair value of the Shares held by all of the Dissenting
Stockholders. If, within the 120-Day Period, no Petition shall have been filed
as provided above, all rights to appraisal will ascertained as of the date of
the Share Exchange that
39
<PAGE> 41
throw any light on future prospects of the corporation. Section 262 of the
Delaware Corporation Law provides that fair value is to be "exclusive of any
element of value arising from the accomplishment or expectation of the merger or
consolidation." In addition, Delaware courts have decided that the statutory
appraisal remedy, depending on factual circumstances, may or may not be a
dissenter's exclusive remedy. The costs of the appraisal proceeding may be
determined by the Delaware Court and taxed upon the parties as the Delaware
Court deems equitable in the circumstances. Upon application, the Delaware Court
may also order that all or a portion of the expenses incurred by any former
holder of Shares in connection with the appraisal proceeding, including, without
limitation, reasonable attorneys' fees and the fees and expense of experts
utilized in the appraisal proceeding, be charged pro rata against the value of
all the Shares entitled to an appraisal. Determinations by the Delaware Court
are subject to appellate review by the Delaware Supreme Court.
Dissenting Stockholders generally are permitted to participate in the
appraisal proceedings. No appraisal proceeding in the Delaware Court shall be
dismissed as to any Dissenting Stockholder without the approval of the Delaware
Court, and this approval may be conditioned upon terms which the Delaware Court
deems just.
From and after the Effective Time, Stockholders are not entitled to
vote the Shares for any purpose and are not entitled to receive payment of
dividends or other distributions on the Shares payable to stockholders of record
thereafter.
The foregoing description is not, and does not purport to be, a
complete summary of the applicable provisions of Section 262 of the Delaware
Corporation Law and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the text of
this provision which is set forth in its entirety in Exhibit B hereto. Any
Former Stockholder considering demanding appraisal is advised to consult its own
legal counsel.

and complete copies of:
(i) the audited Consolidated Balance Sheets of
Armitec and its subsidiaries dated as of August 31, 1998, 1999
and December 31, 1999 and the audited, consolidated statements
of income, cash flow and stockholders equity for the years
then ended, together with the notes thereto and the report
thereon of Moore Stephens Tiller LLC, independent certified
public accountants for Armitec.
Such financial statements and the notes thereto are

periods involved, and (iv) reflect adequate reserves for all
liabilities and losses. Armitec has no material liabilities or
obligations (secured or unsecured, whether accrued, absolute, direct,
indirect, contingent, or otherwise, and whether due or to become due)
that are not fully accrued or reserved against in the Armitec Financial
Statements or described in Schedule 3.03. Armitec has not received any
advice or notification from its independent certified public
accountants that Armitec has used any improper accounting practice that
would have the effect of not reflecting or incorrectly reflecting in

any properties, assets, liabilities, revenues, or expenses. The Armitec
Financial Statements do not contain any items of special or
nonrecurring income, or other income not earned in the ordinary course

transactions, assets, and liabilities of Armitec. Armitec has not

contingent, or otherwise, and whether due or to become due) that are
not fully accrued or reserved against in the Armitec Financial
Statements, other than:
(i) liabilities incurred in the ordinary course
of business subsequent to the date of the Armitec Financial
Statements consistent with past practice, none of
5
<PAGE> 55

incurred in prior comparable fiscal periods;
(ii) obligations under Contracts listed on
Schedule 3.03 or incurred in the ordinary course of business
and not required under generally accepted accounting
principles to be reflected in the Armitec Financial
Statements, which liabilities and obligations, individually or
in the aggregate, are not material to the financial condition
or operating results of Armitec; and
(iii) the liabilities listed on Schedule 3.03.

from amounts owing to employees, creditors, and third parties. The federal
income tax returns of Armitec have never been audited by the Internal Revenue
Service and no state income or sales tax returns of Armitec have been audited.
No deficiency assessment with respect to or proposed adjustment of Armitec's
federal, state, county, or local taxes is pending or, to the best of Armitec's
knowledge, threatened. There is no tax lien, whether imposed by any federal,
state, county, or local taxing authority, outstanding against the assets,
properties, or business of Armitec. Neither Armitec nor any of its shareholders
has ever filed a consent pertaining to Armitec pursuant to Section 341(f) of the
IRC (as hereinafter defined), relating to collapsible corporations. Any amounts
reserved in the Armitec Financial Statements for taxes are sufficient for the
payment of all accrued and unpaid federal, state and local taxes of all types,
including interest and penalties thereon of Armitec for or on account of which
Armitec is or may become liable in any manner whatsoever for the quarter ending
June 30, 2000 and for all prior periods.

<PAGE> 65
(g) Except as to those plans identified on Schedule
3.20.7 as tax-qualified Armitec Plans (the "Armitec Qualified Plans"),
no member of Armitec Group maintains a tax-qualified employee plan
which meets or was intended to meet the requirements of Code Section
401 for the benefit of present or former employees. The Internal
Revenue Service has issued favorable determination letters to the
effect that each Armitec Qualified Plan qualifies under Code Section
401(a) and that any related trust is exempt from taxation under Code
Section 501(a), and such determination letters are in effect. Copies of
the most recent determination letters and any outstanding requests for
a determination letter with respect to each Armitec Qualified Plan have
been delivered to Armitec.Com. Armitec Qualified Plans have been
administered according to their terms, except for those terms which are
inconsistent with the changes required by the Tax Reform Act of 1986
and other acts, regulations, and rulings, in which case Armitec
Qualified Plans have been administered in accordance with the
provisions of those acts, regulations, and rulings in all material
respects. No member of Armitec Group or any fiduciary of any Armitec
Qualified Plan has done anything that would adversely affect the
qualified status of Armitec Qualified Plans or the related trusts.
Armitec Qualified Plans currently comply in form with the requirements
under Code Section 401(a), other than changes required by the Tax
Reform Act of 1986, the Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1986 and
other acts, regulations, and rulings for which amendments are not yet
required. Any Armitec Qualified Plan subject to Code Sections 401(k) or
401(m) has been tested for compliance with, and has satisfied the
requirements of, Code Sections 401(k)(3), 401(m)(2), or both, as
application, for each plan year ending prior to the Closing Date.
(h) With respect to any Armitec Qualified Plan or any
member of Armitec Group, no termination liability to the Pension
Benefit Guaranty Corporation ("PBGC") has been or is expected to be
incurred or would be incurred if any Armitec Qualified Plan were
terminated on the Closing Date. If any Armitec Qualified Plan were
terminated on the Closing Date, the present value of all benefit
liabilities under Armitec Qualified Plan would not, as of the Closing
Date, exceed the then current value of the assets of such Armitec
Qualified Plan. No Armitec Qualified Plan has suffered any accumulated
funding deficiency within the meaning of ERISA Section 302 and Code
Section 412. Armitec has made all quarterly contributions required
under Code Section 412(m) and no conditions exist which would subject
the assets of Armitec or Armitec.Com to a lien under Code Section
412(m) or ERISA Section 4068. No member of Armitec Group has any
outstanding liability under Code Section 4971. As of the Closing Date,
all contributions required to have been made on or prior to the Closing
Date under Armitec Plans will have been made or have been accrued on
the Financial Statements and all required premium payments for Armitec
Qualified Plans have been made, when due, to PBGC. No event or
condition exists with respect to any Armitec Qualified Plan which could
be deemed a "reportable event" as defined in ERISA Section 4043, with
respect to which the 30-day notice requirement has not been waived and
which could result in a liability to Armitec.Com, and no condition
exists which would subject Armitec.Com to a fine under ERISA Section
4071. No amendment has occurred to any Armitec Qualified
16
<PAGE> 66
Plan which has required or which would require Armitec Group to provide
security under Code Section 401(a)(29).
(i) No member of Armitec Group has any past, present, or
future obligation to contribute to any multiemployer plan as defined in
ERISA Section 3(37).
(j) No member of Armitec Group nor any other
"disqualified person" or "party in interest" (as defined in Code
Section 4975 and ERISA Section 3(14), respectively) with respect to
Armitec Plans, has engaged in any "prohibited transaction" (as defined
in Code Section 4975 or ERISA Section 406). Armitec Group and all other
"fiduciaries" (as defined in ERISA Section 3(21)) with respect to
Armitec Plans have complied in all respects with the requirements of
ERISA Section 404. Neither Armitec Group nor any party in interest or
disqualified person with respect to Armitec Plans has taken or omitted
any action which could lead to the imposition of an excise tax under
the Code or a fine under ERISA against Armitec.Com or Armitec Plans.

a material
31
<PAGE> 81
liability), or, in the case of documents referred to in clause (i)
below, have been in effect at any time prior to the date hereof:
(i) "employee pension benefit plans" and
"employee benefit plans" as defined in Sections 3(2) and 3(3)
of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974
("ERISA");
(ii) any other pension, profit sharing,
retirement, deferred compensation, stock purchase, stock
option, incentive, bonus, vacation, severance, disability,
health, hospitalization, medical, life insurance, vision,
dental, prescription drug, supplemental unemployment, layoff,
automobile, apprenticeship and training, day care,

outstanding, present, or future obligations to contribute or
make payments under, whether voluntary, contingent, or
otherwise (the plans, programs, policies, or arrangements
described in clauses (ii) or (iii) are herein collectively
referred to as the "Armitec.Com Plans").
Included in said Schedule 4.18.6 are true and complete copies of all
documents as they may have been amended to the date hereof involving or relating
to clauses (i) and (ii) hereinabove, together with all filings, IRS
determination letters and financial statements, including but not limited to,
the most recent actuarial report for each employee pension benefit plan and IRS
Form 5500 for each Armitec.Com Plan for each of the five most recent plan years.
(g) Except as to those plans identified on Schedule
4.18.2 as tax-qualified Armitec.Com Plans (the "Armitec.Com Qualified
Plans"), no member of Armitec.Com Group maintains a tax-qualified
employee plan which meets or was intended to meet the requirements of
Code Section 401 for the benefit of present or former employees. The
Internal Revenue Service has issued favorable determination letters to
the effect that each Armitec.Com Qualified Plan qualifies under Code
Section 401(a) and that any related trust is exempt from taxation under
Code Section 501(a), and such determination letters are in effect.
Copies of the most recent determination letters and any outstanding
requests for a determination letter with respect to each Armitec.Com
Qualified Plan have been delivered to Armitec. Armitec.Com Qualified
Plans have been administered according to their terms, except for those
terms which are inconsistent with the changes required by the Tax
Reform Act of 1986 and other acts, regulations, and rulings, in which
case Armitec.Com Qualified Plans have been administered in accordance
with the provisions of those acts, regulations, and rulings in all
material respects. No member of Armitec.Com Group or any fiduciary of
any Armitec.Com Qualified Plan has done anything that would adversely
affect the qualified status of Armitec.Com Qualified Plans or the
related trusts. Armitec.Com Qualified Plans currently comply in form
with the requirements under Code Section 401(a), other than changes
required by the Tax Reform
32
<PAGE> 82
Act of 1986, the Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1986 and other
acts, regulations, and rulings for which amendments are not yet
required. Any Armitec.Com Qualified Plan subject to Code Sections
401(k) or 401(m) has been tested for compliance with, and has satisfied
the requirements of, Code Sections 401(k)(3), 401(m)(2), or both, as
application, for each plan year ending prior to the Closing Date.
(h) With respect to any Armitec.Com Qualified Plan or any
member of Armitec.Com Group, no termination liability to the Pension
Benefit Guaranty Corporation ("PBGC") has been or is expected to be
incurred or would be incurred if any Armitec.Com Qualified Plan were
terminated on the Closing Date. If any Armitec.Com Qualified Plan were
terminated on the Closing Date, the present value of all benefit
liabilities under Armitec.Com Qualified Plan would not, as of the
Closing Date, exceed the then current value of the assets of such
Armitec.Com Qualified Plan. No Armitec.Com Qualified Plan has suffered
any accumulated funding deficiency within the meaning of ERISA Section
302 and Code Section 412. Armitec.Com has made all quarterly
contributions required under Code Section 412(m) and no conditions
exist which would subject the assets of Armitec.Com or Armitec to a
lien under Code Section 412(m) or ERISA Section 4068. No member of
Armitec.Com Group has any outstanding liability under Code Section
4971. As of the Closing Date, all contributions required to have been
made on or prior to the Closing Date under Armitec.Com Plans will have
been made or have been accrued on the Financial Statements and all
required premium payments for Armitec.Com Qualified Plans have been
made, when due, to PBGC. No event or condition exists with respect to
any Armitec.Com Qualified Plan which could be deemed a "reportable
event" as defined in ERISA Section 4043, with respect to which the
30-day notice requirement has not been waived and which could result in
a liability to Armitec.Com or Armitec, and no condition exists which
would subject Armitec.Com to a fine under ERISA Section 4071. No
amendment has occurred to any Armitec.Com Qualified Plan which has
required or which would require Armitec.Com Group to provide security
under Code Section 401(a)(29).
(i) No member of Armitec.Com Group has any past, present,
or future obligation to contribute to any multiemployer plan as defined
in ERISA Section 3(37).
(j) No member of Armitec.Com Group nor any other
"disqualified person" or "party in interest" (as defined in Code
Section 4975 and ERISA Section 3(14), respectively) with respect to
Armitec.Com Plans, has engaged in any "prohibited transaction" (as
defined in Code Section 4975 or ERISA Section 406). Armitec.Com Group
and all other "fiduciaries" (as defined in ERISA Section 3(21)) with
respect to Armitec.Com Plans have complied in all respects with the
requirements of ERISA Section 404. Neither Armitec.Com Group nor any
party in interest or disqualified person with respect to Armitec.Com
Plans has taken or omitted any action which could lead to the
imposition of an excise tax under the Code or a fine under ERISA
against Armitec.Com Plans.

provisions of Section 10.01(e)(ii)(B) hereof, which provisions shall thereupon
become null and void.

TITLE 8. CORPORATIONS
CHAPTER 1. GENERAL CORPORATION LAW
SUBCHAPTER IX. MERGER, CONSOLIDATION OR CONVERSION
8 Del. C.ss.262 (2000)
ss. 262. Appraisal rights
(a) Any stockholder of a corporation of this State who holds
shares of stock on the date of the making of a demand pursuant to subsection (d)
of this section with respect to such shares, who continuously holds such shares
through the effective date of the merger or consolidation, who has otherwise
complied with subsection (d) of this section and who has neither voted in favor
of the merger or consolidation nor consented thereto in writing pursuant to ss.
228 of this title shall be entitled to an appraisal by the Court of Chancery of
the fair value of the stockholder's shares of stock under the circumstances
described in subsections (b) and (c) of this section. As used in this section,
the word "stockholder" means a holder of record of stock in a stock corporation
and also a member of record of a nonstock corporation; the words "stock" and
"share" mean and include what is ordinarily meant by those words and also
membership or membership interest of a member of a nonstock corporation; and the
words "depository receipt" mean a receipt or other instrument issued by a
depository representing an interest in one or more shares, or fractions thereof,
solely of stock of a corporation, which stock is deposited with the depository.
(b) Appraisal rights shall be available for the shares of any
class or series of stock of a constituent corporation in a merger or
consolidation to be effected pursuant to ss. 251 (other than a merger effected
pursuant to ss. 251(g) of this title), ss. 252, ss. 254, ss. 257, ss. 258, ss.
263 or ss. 264 of this title:
(1) Provided, however, that no appraisal rights under
this section shall be available for the shares of any class or series of stock,
which stock, or depository receipts in respect thereof, at the record date fixed
to determine the stockholders entitled to receive notice of and to vote at the
meeting of stockholders to act upon the agreement of merger or consolidation,
were either (i) listed on a national securities exchange or designated as a
national market system security on an interdealer quotation system by the
National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. or (ii) held of record by more
than 2,000 holders; and further provided that no appraisal rights shall be
available for any shares of stock of the constituent corporation surviving a
merger if the merger did not require for its approval the vote of the
stockholders of the surviving corporation as provided in subsection (f) of ss.
251 of this title.
(2) Notwithstanding paragraph (1) of this subsection,
appraisal rights under this section shall be available for the shares of any
class or series of stock of a constituent corporation if the holders thereof are
required by the terms of an agreement of merger or consolidation pursuant to ss.
ss. 251, 252, 254, 257, 258, 263 and 264 of this title to accept for such stock
anything except:
a. Shares of stock of the corporation surviving or resulting from
such merger or consolidation, or depository receipts in respect thereof;
<PAGE> 108
b. Shares of stock of any other corporation, or depository
receipts in respect thereof, which shares of stock (or depository receipts in
respect thereof) or depository receipts at the effective date of the merger or
consolidation will be either listed on a national securities exchange or
designated as a national market system security on an interdealer quotation
system by the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. or held of record
by more than 2,000 holders;
c. Cash in lieu of fractional shares or fractional depository
receipts described in the foregoing subparagraphs a. and b. of this paragraph;
or
d. Any combination of the shares of stock, depository receipts
and cash in lieu of fractional shares or fractional depository receipts
described in the foregoing subparagraphs a., b. and c. of this paragraph.
(3) In the event all of the stock of a subsidiary
Delaware corporation party to a merger effected under ss. 253 of this title is
not owned by the parent corporation immediately prior to the merger, appraisal
rights shall be available for the shares of the subsidiary Delaware corporation.
(c) Any corporation may provide in its certificate of
incorporation that appraisal rights under this section shall be available for
the shares of any class or series of its stock as a result of an amendment to
its certificate of incorporation, any merger or consolidation in which the
corporation is a constituent corporation or the sale of all or substantially all
of the assets of the corporation. If the certificate of incorporation contains
such a provision, the procedures of this section, including those set forth in
subsections (d) and (e) of this section, shall apply as nearly as is
practicable.
(d) Appraisal rights shall be perfected as follows:
(1) If a proposed merger or consolidation for which
appraisal rights are provided under this section is to be submitted for approval
at a meeting of stockholders, the corporation, not less than 20 days prior to
the meeting, shall notify each of its stockholders who was such on the record
date for such meeting with respect to shares for which appraisal rights are
available pursuant to subsection (b) or (c) hereof that appraisal rights are
available for any or all of the shares of the constituent corporations, and
shall include in such notice a copy of this section. Each stockholder electing
to demand the appraisal of such stockholder's shares shall deliver to the
corporation, before the taking of the vote on the merger or consolidation, a
written demand for appraisal of such stockholder's shares. Such demand will be
sufficient if it reasonably informs the corporation of the identity of the
stockholder and that the stockholder intends thereby to demand the appraisal of
such stockholder's shares. A proxy or vote against the merger or consolidation
shall not constitute such a demand. A stockholder electing to take such action
must do so by a separate written demand as herein provided. Within 10 days after
the effective date of such merger or consolidation, the surviving or resulting
corporation shall notify each stockholder of each constituent corporation who
has complied with this subsection and has not voted in favor of or consented to
the merger or consolidation of the date that the merger or consolidation has
become effective; or
(2) If the merger or consolidation was approved pursuant
to ss. 228 or ss. 253 of this title, each consitutent corporation, either
before the effective date of the merger or consolidation or within ten days
thereafter, shall notify each of the holders of any class or series of stock of
such constitutent corporation who are entitled to appraisal rights of the
approval of the merger or
2
<PAGE> 109
consolidation and that appraisal rights are available for any or all shares of
such class or series of stock of such constituent corporation, and shall include
in such notice a copy of this section; provided that, if the notice is given on
or after the effective date of the merger or consolidation, such notice shall be
given by the surviving or resulting corporation to all such holders of any class
or series of stock of a constituent corporation that are entitled to appraisal
rights. Such notice may, and, if given on or after the effective date of the
merger or consolidation, shall, also notify such stockholders of the effective
date of the merger or consolidation. Any stockholder entitled to appraisal
rights may, within 20 days after the date of mailing of such notice, demand in
writing from the surviving or resulting corporation the appraisal of such
holder's shares. Such demand will be sufficient if it reasonably informs the
corporation of the identity of the stockholder and that the stockholder intends
thereby to demand the appraisal of such holder's shares. If such notice did not
notify stockholders of the effective date of the merger or consolidation, either
(i) each such constitutent corporation shall send a second notice before the
effective date of the merger or consolidation notifying each of the holders of
any class or series of stock of such constitutent corporation that are entitled
to appraisal rights of the effective date of the merger or consolidation or (ii)
the surviving or resulting corporation shall send such a second notice to all
such holders on or within 10 days after such effective date; provided, however,
that if such second notice is sent more than 20 days following the sending of
the first notice, such second notice need only be sent to each stockholder who
is entitled to appraisal rights and who has demanded appraisal of such holder's
shares in accordance with this subsection. An affidavit of the secretary or
assistant secretary or of the transfer agent of the corporation that is required
to give either notice that such notice has been given shall, in the absence of
fraud, be prima facie evidence of the facts stated therein. For purposes of
determining the stockholders entitled to receive either notice, each
constitutent corporation may fix, in advance, a record date that shall be not
more than 10 days prior to the date the notice is given, provided, that if the
notice is given on or after the effective date of the merger or consolidation,
the record date shall be such effective date. If no record date is fixed and the
notice is given prior to the effective date, the record date shall be the close
of business on the day next preceding the day on which the notice is given.
(e) Within 120 days after the effective date of the merger or
consolidation, the surviving or resulting corporation or any stockholder who has
complied with subsections (a) and (d) hereof and who is otherwise entitled to
appraisal rights, may file a petition in the Court of Chancery demanding a
determination of the value of the stock of all such stockholders.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, at any time within 60 days after the effective
date of the merger or consolidation, any stockholder shall have the right to
withdraw such stockholder's demand for appraisal and to accept the terms offered
upon the merger or consolidation. Within 120 days after the effective date of
the merger or consolidation, any stockholder who has complied with the
requirements of subsections (a) and (d) hereof, upon written request, shall be
entitled to receive from the corporation surviving the merger or resulting from
the consolidation a statement setting forth the aggregate number of shares not
voted in favor of the merger or consolidation and with respect to which demands
for appraisal have been received and the aggregate number of holders of such
shares. Such written statement shall be mailed to the stockholder within 10 days
after such stockholder's written request for such a statement is received by the
surviving or resulting corporation or within 10 days after expiration of the
period for delivery of demands for appraisal under subsection (d) hereof,
whichever is later.
3
<PAGE> 110
(f) Upon the filing of any such petition by a stockholder, service
of a copy thereof shall be made upon the surviving or resulting corporation,
which shall within 20 days after such service file in the office of the Register
in Chancery in which the petition was filed a duly verified list containing the
names and addresses of all stockholders who have demanded payment for their
shares and with whom agreements as to the value of their shares have not been
reached by the surviving or resulting corporation. If the petition shall be
filed by the surviving or resulting corporation, the petition shall be
accompanied by such a duly verified list. The Register in Chancery, if so
ordered by the Court, shall give notice of the time and place fixed for the
hearing of such petition by registered or certified mail to the surviving or
resulting corporation and to the stockholders shown on the list at the addresses
therein stated. Such notice shall also be given by 1 or more publications at
least 1 week before the day of the hearing, in a newspaper of general
circulation published in the City of Wilmington, Delaware or such publication as
the Court deems advisable. The forms of the notices by mail and by publication
shall be approved by the Court, and the costs thereof shall be borne by the
surviving or resulting corporation.
(g) At the hearing on such petition, the Court shall determine the
stockholders who have complied with this section and who have become entitled to
appraisal rights. The Court may require the stockholders who have demanded an
appraisal for their shares and who hold stock represented by certificates to
submit their certificates of stock to the Register in Chancery for notation
thereon of the pendency of the appraisal proceedings; and if any stockholder
fails to comply with such direction, the Court may dismiss the proceedings as to
such stockholder.
(h) After determining the stockholders entitled to an appraisal,
the Court shall appraise the shares, determining their fair value exclusive of
any element of value arising from the accomplishment or expectation of the
merger or consolidation, together with a fair rate of interest, if any, to be
paid upon the amount determined to be the fair value. In determining such fair
value, the Court shall take into account all relevant factors. In determining
the fair rate of interest, the Court may consider all relevant factors,
including the rate of interest which the surviving or resulting corporation
would have had to pay to borrow money during the pendency of the proceeding.
Upon application by the surviving or resulting corporation or by any stockholder
entitled to participate in the appraisal proceeding, the Court may, in its
discretion, permit discovery or other pretrial proceedings and may proceed to
trial upon the appraisal prior to the final determination of the stockholder
entitled to an appraisal. Any stockholder whose name appears on the list filed
by the surviving or resulting corporation pursuant to subsection (f) of this
section and who has submitted such stockholder's certificates of stock to the
Register in Chancery, if such is required, may participate fully in all
proceedings until it is finally determined that such stockholder is not entitled
to appraisal rights under this section.
(i) The Court shall direct the payment of the fair value of the
shares, together with interest, if any, by the surviving or resulting
corporation to the stockholders entitled thereto. Interest may be simple or
compound, as the Court may direct. Payment shall be so made to each such
stockholder, in the case of holders of uncertificated stock forthwith, and the
case of holders of shares represented by certificates upon the surrender to the
corporation of the certificates representing such stock. The Court's decree may
be enforced as other decrees in the Court of Chancery may be enforced, whether
such surviving or resulting corporation be a corporation of this State or of any
state.
(j) The costs of the proceeding may be determined by the Court and
taxed upon the parties as the Court deems equitable in the circumstances. Upon
application of a stockholder, the Court
4
<PAGE> 111
may order all or a portion of the expenses incurred by any stockholder in
connection with the appraisal proceeding, including, without limitation,
reasonable attorney's fees and the fees and expenses of experts, to be charged
pro rata against the value of all the shares entitled to an appraisal.
(k) From and after the effective date of the merger or
consolidation, no stockholder who has demanded appraisal rights as provided in
subsection (d) of this section shall be entitled to vote such stock for any
purpose or to receive payment of dividends or other distributions on the stock
(except dividends or other distributions payable to stockholders of record at a
date which is prior to the effective date of the merger or consolidation);
provided, however, that if no petition for an appraisal shall be filed within
the time provided in subsection (e) of this section, or if such stockholder
shall deliver to the surviving or resulting corporation a written withdrawal of
such stockholder's demand for an appraisal and an acceptance of the merger or
consolidation, either within 60 days after the effective date of the merger or
consolidation as provided in subsection (e) of this section or thereafter with
the written approval of the corporation, then the right of such stockholder to
an appraisal shall cease. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no appraisal proceeding
in the Court of Chancery shall be dismissed as to any stockholder without the
approval of the Court, and such approval may be conditioned upon such terms as
the Court deems just.
(l) The shares of the surviving or resulting corporation to which
the shares of such objecting stockholders would have been converted had they
assented to the merger or consolidation shall have the status of authorized and
unissued shares of the surviving or resulting corporation.

Explanatory Note.
This Report on Form 10-KSB/A amends the disclosure contained in the Annual
Report on Form 10-K for the period ended December 31, 1999, filed by Armitec,
Inc. with the Securities and Exchange Commission on June 30, 2000. Armitec, Inc.
meets the requirements under Item 10(a) of Regulation S-B to enter and file
under the Small Business Disclosure System.
Part I
Item 1. Description of Business
(A) General.
<PAGE> 113
Armitec, Inc. (Armitec or REGISTRANT), a Delaware
corporation, was incorporated on January 20, 1983. The
Registrant was formed to provide comprehensive business
services to physicians, dentists and professional corporations
operating full service dental centers and emergency/industrial
medical centers. Armitec found this activity to be
unprofitable and it exited the business service activity in
fiscal year 1987 and became engaged in the formation,
registration, distribution and sale of developmental stage
companies. Armitec has no activities at this time.
(B) Business of Issuer:
The Registrant is currently inactive, and is seeking a
merger or business combination for itself.
(C) Employees
The Company has only one employee, William S. Bryant, who is
the President, Chief Executive Officer and Treasurer of the
Company.
Item 2. Properties
NONE
Item 3. Legal Proceedings
The Company is not engaged in any litigation, and the
officers and directors presently know of no threatened or
pending litigation in which it is contemplated that the
Company will be made a party.
Item 4. Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders:
Not Applicable.
Part II
Item 5. MARKET FOR REGISTRANT'S COMMON EQUITY AND RELATED STOCKHOLDER MATTERS
(A) Market information:
The Registrant's common stock trades in the over-the-counter
market. The Registrant's common stock was listed on the NASDAQ
National Market System, under the symbol FHSI until November
26, 1986, at which time such listing was suspended because
Armitec's assets and net worth fell below the minimum required
levels. Armitec was reinstated on NASDAQ on April 2, 1987, but
was again suspended on February 12, 1988 when its assets and
net worth fell below the NASDAQ minimum requirements. There
has not been any trading of Armitec common stock on any listed
exchange during calendar years 1995, 1996, 1997, 1998 and
1999.
(B) HOLDERS:
As of December 31, 1999, the approximate number of holders of
record of the Registrant's common stock was 568. In addition
to those who hold shares in their individual names, it is
reported to Registrant that there are 267 holder's in "street
names" for a total of 835 shareholders.
(C) DIVIDENDS:
Cash dividends have not been paid by the Registrant since it
was formed; however, Registrant has during past fiscal years
paid stock dividends in its wholly-owned subsidiaries from
1987-1988.
<PAGE> 114
Item 6. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
OF OPERATIONS
The following is a discussion of Armitec's financial condition and results of
operations. This discussion should be read in conjunction with the Financial
Statements of Armitec appearing under Item 7 of this Report.
(a) Results of Operations
The discontinuance in 1988 of the professional administrative
marketing business decreased revenues; however, it also
decreased liabilities and the risk of potential liabilities.
The only income presently is gains and losses from sales of
stock in the marketplace. Losses from sales of stocks for the
four months ending December 31, 1999 aggregated $(37,547).
For the years ended August 31, 1999 and 1998, the Company
recognized gains on the sale of securities of $75,596 and
losses of $(26,808), respectively.
(b) Financial Condition, Liquidity and Capital Resources.
Management does not expect that the condition of Armitec can
be improved unless it can form a business relationship between
it and another going concern.
Item 7. FINANCIAL STATEMENTS:
The following data, insofar as it relates to the period September 1,
1997 to December 31, 1999 has been derived from annual financial
statements, including the balance sheets at December 31, 1999, August
31, 1999 and 1998 and the related statements of operations and cash
flows for four months ended December 31, 1999 and the years ended
August 31, 1999 and 1998 and notes thereto appearing elsewhere herein.
This financial data should be read in conjunction with the financial
statements of the Company and the related notes thereto attached to
this Annual Report.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
December 31, 1999
1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
NATURE OF BUSINESS - Armitec, Inc. (Company) was organized to provide
comprehensive administrative, marketing and consulting services to
group dental and medical practices and began operations on May 1, 1983.
Effective in October 1987, all administrative and marketing agreements
had been terminated and the Corporation has been inactive since that
time.
BASIS OF ACCOUNTING - The Company's policy is to prepare its financial
statements on the accrual basis of accounting.
NET INCOME (LOSS) PER SHARE - Basic and diluted net income (loss) per
share has been computed using the weighted average number of shares of
common stock outstanding during the applicable period. The Company does
not have any stock option plans. There are no outstanding warrants or
options and therefore no potential dilution to earnings per share for
the periods presented.
CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS - Cash and cash equivalents include all
highly liquid investments with initial maturity dates of no more than
three months.
ESTIMATES - The process of preparing financial statements in conformity
with generally accepted accounting principles requires the use of
management's estimates and assumptions regarding certain types of
assets, liabilities revenues and expenses. Such estimates primarily
relate to unsettled transactions and events as of the date of the
financial statements. Accordingly, upon settlement, actual results may
differ from estimated amounts.
2. CHANGE IN ACCOUNTING YEAR
The Company has elected to change its accounting year from a fiscal
year ending August 31 to a calendar year ending December 31. The change
results in a short accounting year of four months ended December 31,
1999.
3. OTHER RECEIVABLES
During 1999, the Company advanced funds to an entity involved in
pumping water into otherwise non-productive or low production oil wells
and extracting the raw crude oil. These advances are non-interest
bearing with no stated method of repayment and are not evidenced by a
note. Advances made during the four months ended December 31, 1999 and
the year ended August 31, 1999 aggregated $2,800 and $112,323,
respectively. Repayments of advances in the amount of $63,000 and
$24,750 were made during the four months ended December 31, 1999 and
the year ended August 31, 1999, respectively. At December 31, 1999 and
August 31, 1999 the balance advanced was $29,372 and $92,372,
respectively.
In addition, the Company made advances during the year ending August
31, 1999 in connection with a natural gas drilling operation in West
Virginia. The drilling operations are on acreage adjoining a producing
natural gas field. Advances made by the Company during the four months
ended December 31, 1999 was $2,090. No repayments have been received.
At December 31, 1999 and August 31, 1999 the balance advanced was
$24,140 and $22,049, respectively.
Advances were also made to a formerly dormant corporation during the
four months ended December 31, 1999. This advance is not evidenced by a
note and bears no rate of interest or method of repayment. The amount
<PAGE> 123
advanced during the four months ended December 31, 1999 aggregated
$5,000. At December 31, 1999 the balance advanced was $5,000.
Additionally, advances of $2,000 were made to another going concern in
the oil and gas industry. At December 31, 1999 the balance advanced was
$2,000.
4. NOTES RECEIVABLE
An advance was made to the majority stockholder of the Company during
1998. This advance was evidenced by a note receivable in the amount of
$15,079. The balance outstanding at August 31, 1998 was $9,155. This
note was repaid during the year ended August 31, 1999.
5. INVESTMENTS
The Company's investments in marketable equity securities are held for
an indefinite period and thus are classified as available for sale.
Available for sale securities are recorded at fair value in investments
on the balance sheet, with the change in fair value during the period
excluded from earnings and recorded in the equity section of the
balance sheet. There were no unrealized holding gains or losses at
December 31, 1999 or August 31, 1999 due to all unrealized losses being
realized in the write-down to cost.
At December 31, 1999 and August 31, 1999 investments were written down
to their estimated realizable values, because in the opinion of
management, the decline in market value of those securities is
considered to be other than temporary.
Investments in securities are summarized below:

</TABLE>
During the year ended August 31, 1999 and the four months ended
December 31, 1999, the Company invested $16,875 and $7,500,
respectively in a closely-held corporation. This corporation is
involved in the waste management industry. The minority interest in
this investment of $24,375 is carried at cost and management of the
Company believes that the carrying value is recoverable.
6. INCOME TAXES
As of December 31, 1999, the Company has net operating loss
carryforwards of approximately $1,350,000 which expire under current
law from 2000 through 2013. These net operating losses expire as
follows: $1,236,000 in 2001; $61,000 in 2002; and $53,000 thereafter.
Temporary differences giving rise to the deferred tax accounts consist
primarily of the net operating loss carryforwards, capital loss
carryforwards and investment tax credit carryforwards.
The deferred tax benefit and deferred tax liability comprised the
following at December 31, 1999 and August 31, 1999:

--------- ---------
Net deferred tax benefit $ -- $ --
========= =========
</TABLE>
The change in valuation allowance for the four months ended December
31, 1999 aggregated $201,895 largely due to expiration of tax
carryforwards.
During the year ended August 31, 1999, the company had taxable income
of approximately $61,000. The income tax expense attributable to this
income was approximately $12,200. The company offset this expense by
utilizing $61,000 of its net operating loss carryforward and
recognizing a $12,200 income tax benefit.
7. CONCENTRATIONS OF CREDIT RISK
The Company has outstanding receivables from companies in oil and gas
exploration industry which are considered speculative industries.
Therefore, the Company has an industry concentration of credit risk in
the oil and gas industry. At December 31, 1999 the company considers
these receivables to be valued at recoverable value and no valuation
allowance is necessary.
8. PRIOR PERIOD ADJUSTMENT
The Company discovered during a review of old records a liability
determined to be valid which had been written off in a prior year. The
liability was re-established through a prior period adjustment charged
to retained earnings at August 31, 1997. The amount of the liability
was $25,000 and has been settled subsequent to December 31, 1999
through the issuance of 18,000 shares of the Company's common stock and
a cash payment of $5,000.
9. SUBSEQUENT EVENT
During the first quarter of 2000, the company invested in certain
traded options and realized a loss of approximately $161,000 as the
options expired in March 2000.
10. CONTINGENCY
As disclosed in Note 1, the Company has been inactive in its operating
business since 1987. As a result, several Forms 10-K and 10-Q have not
been filed. The Company has since filed a notification of late filing
with the Securities and Exchange Commission for reports 10-K and 10-Q
due to be filed for the period August 31, 1997 to December 31, 1999 and
is currently filing all late filings. Any liability resulting from the
late filing is undetermined and is not reflected in these financial
statements.

Liquidity and Capital Resources.

assets of the Company as of August 31, 2000 to Colonial Corporation, a

consummation of the Stock Exchange. There is no assurance that such
additional financing will be available when required in order to
proceed with the business plan or that the Company's ability to respond
to competition or changes in the market place or to exploit
opportunities will not be limited by lack of available capital.
