PURPOSE OF AMENDMENT
D-lanz Development Group, Inc. ("D-Lanz") has heretofore filed and amended
Registration Statement No. 333-61233 (the "Registration Statement") which
registered 1,525,000 shares of Common Stock, par value $.001 per share (the
"Common Stock"), for sale and issuance as compensation in lieu of cash pursuant
to Compensation Agreements with, or in payment of services previously rendered
from Wharton Capital Corporation ("Wharton"), Joel Brownstein ("Brownstein"),
Vestcom Holdings, Inc. ("Vestcom"), and Sarit Hirschkorn ("Hirschkorn"). On
September 30, 1998, D-Lanz and Wharton modified this their agreement, which will
result in D-Lanz issuing an additional 275,000 shares of stock for services on
similar terms as the original agreement. Therefore, the Registration Statement
is hereby amended to register the additional shares of Common Stock contemplated
under the terms of the amended contract.

SPECIAL NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
This Prospectus may contain various "forward-looking statements," within
the meaning of the Securities Act and the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as
amended, (the "Exchange Act"), that are based on management's beliefs, and
assumptions, as well as information currently available to management. When used
in this document, the words "anticipate," "estimate," "expect," "will" and
similar expressions may identify forward-looking statements. Although the
Company believes that the expectations reflected in any such forward-looking
statements are reasonable, it can give no assurance that such expectations will
prove to be correct. Any such statements are subject to certain risks,
uncertainties and assumptions. Should one or more of these risks or
uncertainties materialize, or should underlying assumptions prove incorrect,
actual results, performance or financial condition may vary materially from
those anticipated, estimated or expected. Among the key factors that may have a
direct bearing on the Company's results, performance or financial condition are
fluctuations in the economy; the degree and nature of competition; demand for
the Company's products; changes in laws and regulations affecting the Company's

OVERVIEW
THE COMPANY
D-Lanz Development Group, Inc., a development stage company commenced
business activities as a partnership in 1947 and was incorporated on December 5,
1952, under the name Osrow Products Company, Inc. Effective December 1, 1972,
Osrow Products Company, Inc., a New York Corporation, merged into OSR
Corporation, a Delaware corporation. OSR was incorporated on June 28, 1972. OSR
was formed solely for the purpose of having Osrow Product Company's state of
incorporation changed from New York to Delaware and its name changed from Osrow
Products Company, Inc. to OSR Corporation. On May 17, 1988, the Company amended
its certificate of incorporation, changing its name to Resort Connections, Inc.
and changing the total authorized capital stock to 55,000,000 of which
50,000,000 shares are common stock with a par value of $.001 per share and
5,000,000 shares are preferred stock with a par value of $.001 per share. On
January 30, 1990, the Company amended its certificate of incorporation to change
its name to D-Lanz Development Group, Inc., and to change the aggregate number
of shares of stock the Company may issue to 200,000,000 shares of which
50,000,000 are common stock with a par value of $.001 per share and 50,000,000
shares are preferred stock with a par value of $.001 per share. On May 6, 1988,
the company restated the number of common stock outstanding by reverse splitting
the number of shares 1 for 4 from 6,2205,970 to 1,551,394.
On September 30, 1997, the Registrant acquired the assets of Health
Technologies International, Inc. ("HTI"), a private New Jersey corporation, in
exchange for 8,448,606 shares of the Registrant's common stock. HTI was
controlled by Roger Fidler, President of the Registrant. Through the acquisition
of HTI, the Company acquired the rights to purchase under license the exclusive
rights in Chile and Singapore (the "Territory") to manufacture and market a
breast thermal activity indicator ("BTAI") device ("the Licensed Device").
THE COMPANY'S PRODUCT AND PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION
The Licensed Device is a non-invasive, easy to use, low cost, adjunctive
test to be used by primary care physicians, gynecologists and other medical
specialists as part of a breast disease monitoring program along with breast
self- examination ("BSE"), palpation and (depending on a patient's age, family
history and other factors) mammography and other established clinical procedures
including ultrasound and/or biopsy. An important feature of the Licensed Device
is that the results will be immediately available to the physician while the
patient is "on site" at the point of care in the physician's office, clinic,
hospital and/or mammography center. If the Licensed Device indicates that there
is unilateral breast thermal activity (i.e., in one breast only), the physician
is alerted to the possibility of a physiological condition, including thermally
active cancer. The Licensed Device has received marketing clearance under
Section 510(k) of the Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act (the "FDC" Act ) from the
United States Food and Drug Administration ("FDA") by Humascan, Inc., the
licensee of the same technology in the United States. The Company's product has
not yet been submitted for approval to the appropriate regulatory agencies in
either Chile or Singapore.
As breast cancer cells multiply, excessive heat is often generated. This
heat is most often conveyed to the surface of the breast resulting in the
temperature of the skin of a particular area of one breast being elevated from
between 2 degrees and 6 degrees Fahrenheit versus the temperature of the same
area of the other breast. The Licensed Device permits the measurement and
comparison of temperature variances between three mirror-image sections of each
breast, thus indicating the possibility of either proliferating thermally active
breast cancer cells or certain types of thermally active breast disease which
may require medical treatment.
The Company intends initially to market the Licensed Device to primary care
physicians, gynecologists and other medical specialists throughout Chile and
Singapore. Pursuant to this strategy, the Company is searching for local
companies to enter into supply and distribution agreements in the licensed
territories.
The Licensed device consists of a pair of mirror-image, non-invasive,
lightweight, disposable soft pads, each of which has three wafer-thin segments
containing columns of heat sensitive chemical sensor dots that change color from
blue to pink reflecting an 8.5 degree temperature range between 90 degrees to
98.5 degrees Fahrenheit. When placed over a woman's breasts inside her brassiere
for a period of 15 minutes, the Licensed device registers skin temperature
variations due to heat conducted from within the breast tissue to the surface of
the skin. By comparing the mirror-image temperature differences between the two
breasts registered by the Licensed device, the physician can objectively
quantify if there is abnormal unilateral breast thermal activity, which is
considered significant if there is a 2o Fahrenheit or more temperature
difference between each breast in the same mirror-image location. Based on
clinical studies at major medical centers, the threshold tumor size that
resulted in significant skin temperature differences detectable with the
Licensed device was as small as five millimeters in size. In contrast, according
to industry sources, the majority of breast tumors are, on average, at least 15
millimeters or larger before they are palpable by most experienced clinicians.
The equipment that the Company will use to manufacture the Licensed Device
will be constructed by a medical engineering contractor and is expected to be
operational within one year of the start of construction. The Company
anticipates that the Licensed Device will be sold to distributors for prices
ranging from &8 per unit to $15 per unit. Final selling price will depend upon
whether the product is sold "OTC" or through physicians.
INDUSTRY BACKGROUND
Breast cancer is one of the most common cancers among women and,
notwithstanding existing methods of detection, is currently the leading cause of
death among women between the ages of 35 and 54 in the United States. The
American Cancer Society estimates that in 1996 approximately 184,300 new cases
of breast cancer are expected to be diagnosed and approximately 44,300 women are
expected to die from the disease in the United States alone. Although the causes
of breast cancer are unknown and there is no known method of prevention,
survival rates are highest, and the likelihood of recurrence is lowest, if the
cancer is diagnosed and treated at its earliest stages. According to the
National Cancer Institute, the five-year survival rate decreases from more than
90% to 72% after the cancer has spread to the lymph nodes and to 18% after it
has spread to other soft-tissue organs. Government spending for, and public
awareness of, early screening and diagnosis of breast cancer has increased
substantially in recent years. In fact, breast cancer screening is generally
recommended as a routine part of preventive health care for over 90 million
women in the United States. Industry sources estimate that approximately 11.3
million mammograms and 800,000 surgical biopsies were performed in the United
States in 1994 (the last year for which such data is available from the Centers
For Disease Control). Moreover, the Physicians' Insurers Association report for
1995 indicated that, during such year, failure to diagnose breast cancer was the
most common source of malpractice complaint among patients with breast cancer
and the second most expensive type of claim, with an average indemnity payment
of $301,460 during the six months preceding such report.
<PAGE>
CLINICAL TESTING
From 1980 to 1984, clinical data from the use of the Licensed Device was
collected on 3,262 women of all ages in five separate clinical trials at six
institutions and hospitals, all in the United States, including M.D. Anderson
Hospital and Tumor Institute ("M.D. Anderson"), Brottman Memorial Hospital
(UCLA) ("Brottman"), Georgetown University School of Medicine, Memorial
Sloan-Kettering Hospital ("Sloan-Kettering") and Guttman Cancer Diagnostic
Institute ("Guttman Diagnostic"). The key results of the principal trial, one
involving multiple sites, were as follows:
TRIAL (Guttman Diagnostic)
o The Licensed device versus Clinical Screening for "Suspicion of Cancer"
(using mammography and clinical breast examination) - The trial involved
2,805 women:
o 99 women were judged positive for "suspicion of cancer" based solely on
the standard screening methods, i.e., mammography and clinical breast
examination. Of the 99 women, 86 had positive breast thermal activity
based on the Licensed device results, for a sensitivity index (agreement
on positives with the standard clinical screening methods) of 86.9%.
o Biopsy results confirmed cancer in 15 women, 13 of whom had positive
breast thermal activity based on the Licensed device results, for a
sensitivity index (agreement on positives with biopsy) of 86.7%.
o 2,706 women were judged negative using the standard clinical screening
methods. 2,340 women were found to have no breast thermal activity based on
the Licensed device results, for a specificity index (agreement on
negatives with the standard screening methods) of 86.5% for no "suspicion
of cancer." Comparatively, in clinical screening for "suspicion of breast
cancer," mammography has a reported specificity of 90.0% and sensitivity of
78.0% to 96.0%, while clinical breast examination has a reported
specificity of 57.0% to 70.0% and BSE has a reported specificity of 20.0%
to 30.0%.
HISTORY OF THE LICENSED PRODUCT
The BTAI was patented in 1980 by Zsigmond L. Sagi, Ph.D. ("Dr. Sagi"), who
assigned the patents relating to the device, then called the "Breast Cancer
Screening Indicator," to a private company called BCSI Laboratories, Inc.
("BCSI"). In 1980, BCSI was acquired by Faberge, Incorporated ("Faberge") and
work on the BTAI continued. FDA authorization to market the BTAI was granted in
1984. By that time, Faberge had constructed a plant and the necessary machinery
to commence commercial production of the BTAI. In 1985, Faberge was acquired in
a hostile takeover by McGregor Industries ("McGregor"). Following the
acquisition, McGregor reportedly discontinued work on many of the new business
projects Faberge had been pursuing, including the BTAI, but retained ownership
of the patent to, and regulatory approvals for, the BTAI. In 1986 Scantek
Medical Corp. ("SMC") was formed by Dr. Sagi and purchased all BCSI. In 1991,
the assets of SMC (including the patent rights and regulatory approvals for the
Licensed device) were acquired by Scantek Medical, Inc. ("Scantek"). In 1997,
Scantek granted a license to the Company to manufacture and market the Licensed
Device in Chile and Singapore.
Plan Of Operation
The Company has an exclusive license to manufacture, market and sell a
breast abnormality indicator in Chile and Singapore. Over the next twelve months
the Company intends to begin a series of steps which hopefully will lead to the
utilization of this license. The Company intends to apply for all approvals
needed to begin sales of the Company's product in these countries, to arrange
for a medical product distributor in these countries to carry the Company's
product, and to set up a manufacturing facility for the product in one or both
of the countries in which the company holds an exclusive license. In order to
set up this plant, the Company will be require to raise additional funds to pay
for the as of yet unascertained costs of setting up the manufacturing and
marketing systems envisioned. The minor administrative costs for the Company
have been and will in all likelihood continue to be borne by the Company's
President during 1998, until such time as the Company makes more active efforts
to implement its marketing and manufacturing plans.
RISK FACTORS
An investment in the shares of Common Stock offered hereby involves a high
degree of risk and immediate and substantial dilution and should be made only by
persons who can afford a loss of their entire investment. In addition to the
other information in this Prospectus, the following risk factors should be
considered carefully in evaluating an investment in the shares of Common Stock
offered hereby.
Absence of Operating History; Development Stage; Stockholders' Deficit; No
Revenues; Continuing Losses. The Company commenced its current business (See
Business of the Company) in December, 1997, has no operating history and is in
the development stage. As such, the Company is subject to all of the business
risks associated with a new enterprise, including constraints on the Company's
resources, lack of established creditor relationships and uncertainties
regarding product development and future revenues. Since its inception, the
Company has been engaged only in development activities and raising capital. The
Company has not derived any revenue from operations and has incurred losses
since inception. The Company does not anticipate deriving any revenue from
operations until such time as the Company's licensed device is available for
commercial delivery. The Company anticipates incurring significant costs in
connection with bringing the Company's licensed device to market, including
costs relating to the establishment of its manufacturing facility and the
establishment of its marketing program. The Company's ability to operate its
business successfully will depend, in part, on a variety of factors, many of
which are outside the Company's control, including governmental programs and
requirements in Chile and Singapore, physician and consumer preferences,
regulatory requirements, plant and equipment repair and maintenance
requirements, competition and changes in raw material supplies and suppliers.
The likelihood of success of the Company must be considered in light of the
expenses, difficulties and delays frequently encountered in connection with the
formation and early phase of operation of a new business and the competitive
environment in which it will operate. There can be no assurance regarding
whether or when the Company will successfully implement its business plan or
that the Company will achieve profitability by generating sufficient revenues to
offset anticipated costs. See "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial
Condition and Plan of Operation."
Significant Capital Requirements; Need for Additional Financing. The
Company's capital requirements in connection with its product development and
marketing activities will be significant. The Company has been dependent upon
the proceeds of sales of its securities to private investors to fund its initial
development activities. Since the Company is not currently generating any
revenue from operations, it is dependent on the proceeds of this Offering to
continue development activities. The Company's future liquidity and capital
funding requirements will depend on numerous factors, including the results of
clinical studies, the extent to which the licensed device gains market
acceptance, the costs and timing of expansion of sales, marketing and
manufacturing activities and competition. There can be no assurance that
additional capital, if needed, will be available on terms acceptable to the
Company, or at all. Furthermore, any additional equity financing may be dilutive
to stockholders, and debt financing, if available, will likely include
restrictive covenants. The failure of the Company to raise capital on acceptable
terms when needed could have a material adverse effect on the Company. See
"Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Plan of
Operation--Liquidity and Capital Resources."
Dependence Upon a Single Product. The Company's licensed device is
currently the Company's only product and will account for substantially all of
the Company's revenue, if any, for the foreseeable future. The Company's
licensed device was approved by FDA in January 1984 under Section 510(k) of the
FDC Act ("510(k) Market Rights") to be marketed for use by physicians as an
adjunct to routine physical examination, including palpation, mammography and
other established procedures for the detection of breast disease, but has not
yet been commercially introduced. There can be no assurance that, when
manufactured, the device will be effective or that it will be more effective
than competing products or technologies, capable of being manufactured in
commercial quantities at acceptable costs or successfully marketed. If the
device is not successfully commercialized, it is likely that the Company's
business operations would cease.
Uncertainty of Market Acceptance; Certain Thermographic Applications Not
Accepted. The Company's success will be substantially dependent upon, among
other factors, the market acceptance of the Company's licensed device. The
Company has not yet commenced marketing activities or conducted market or
feasibility studies with respect to the device. The Company believes that market
acceptance of the device will depend, in part, upon the Company's ability to
demonstrate to physicians the clinical benefits, safety, efficacy and
cost-effectiveness of the device. Prior thermographic devices which, unlike the
device, involved imaging rather than measurement of temperature differences, did
not perform as intended. In 1983, the Office of Health Technology Assessment
("OHTA") of the Department of Health and Human Services issued a report stating
that thermography needed further development and should not be used alone for
diagnostic screening as an alternative to mammography. In 1984, the Health Care
Financing Administration ("HCFA") withdrew coverage for thermography under
Medicare and Medicaid as a diagnostic screening method. In 1991, based upon
reports which addressed the use of thermography in neurological and
musculoskeletal conditions, the American Medical Association ("AMA") passed a
resolution stating that thermography had not been proven to have value as a
medical diagnostic test. In 1992, HCFA withdrew Medicare and Medicaid
reimbursement for all other uses of thermography. In 1993, the AMA adopted a
resolution stating that the use of thermography for diagnostic purposes could
not be recommended at that time. Although the Company's licensed device is
adjunctive and is not to be used for diagnosis of breast disease, the OHTA, HCFA
and AMA positions against the use of thermography as a diagnostic tool may cause
confusion among physicians. The Company will need to demonstrate that the
licensed device is an effective adjunct to diagnostic procedures. In the event
that the licensed device fails to achieve significant market acceptance, it is
likely that the Company's business operations would cease. See "Management's
Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Plan of Operation."
No Manufacturing Experience; Dependence on Zigmed, Inc. The Company has no
experience in manufacturing, and has not yet manufactured the licensed device.
If the Company is unable to manufacture the device, the Company would not be
able to commercialize it, in which event, it is likely that the Company's
business operations would cease. If the Company encounters manufacturing
difficulties, including problems involving production yields, quality control
and assurance, shortages of components or shortages of qualified personnel, it
could have a material adverse effect on the Company's business, financial
condition and results of operations. In addition, there is no assurance that the
Company will be able to manufacture the device in accordance with FDA's current
Good Manufacturing Practice ("CGMP") regulations. The Company has entered into a
contract (the "Turnkey Construction Contract") with Zigmed for the turnkey
construction of its licensed device production machinery (the "Production Line")
and is dependent on Zigmed for the construction of the Production Line. In the
event Zigmed fails to complete the Production Line, the Company would be forced
to complete the Production Line itself or pay another contractor to complete it.
Unless the Production Line is substantially completed by Zigmed, it is unlikely
that the Company could complete the Production Line itself, and there can be no
assurance that the Company could find another contractor willing to complete the
Production Line or complete it at a cost acceptable to the Company. Failure by
Zigmed to complete the Production Line would, and failure by Zigmed to complete
it as scheduled could, have a material adverse effect on the Company. Zigmed is
controlled by Zsigmond G. Sagi, the son of Dr. Sagi, the Chairman of the Board
of Scantek.
Termination of License Agreement if Certain Threshold Royalties are not
Earned. The Company has licensed the rights to the licensed device from Scantek
pursuant to a license agreement dated as of August 15, 1996, as amended March 5,
1997 (the "License Agreement"). The License Agreement provides that the Company
is to pay minimum royalties of $80,000, $200,000 and $300,000 respectively, in
the first three years in which the device is sold and $400,000 in the fourth and
subsequent years. There is no assurance that the device will be commercialized
successfully, or that threshold royalties will be earned. Any such termination
of the License Agreement for failure to earn threshold royalties would be likely
to cause the Company's business operations to cease. See "Business--License
Agreement."
Lack of Marketing Experience; Dependence on Unascertainable Companies; The
Company currently has no marketing experience and limited financial, personnel
and other resources to undertake the extensive marketing activities necessary to
market the licensed device. The Company's ability to generate revenue from the
sale of the device will be dependent upon, among other things, its ability to
manage an effective sales organization. The Company will need to develop a sales
force and a marketing group with technical expertise to coordinate marketing
efforts with local companies in its designated license areas. The Company has
not yet entered into distribution agreements in its licensed territories, yet
will be significantly dependent on the companies ultimately contracted with for
distribution and sales. Failure of these companies to perform as anticipated
would have a material adverse effect on the Company's operations. In addition,
there can be no assurance that the Company will be able to market or sell its
products effectively through independent sales representatives, through
arrangements with some other outside sales force, or through strategic partners.
See "Business--Marketing and Distribution."
Foreign Government Regulation. The Company's products and manufacturing
activities are subject to extensive foreign government regulation. The
regulation of medical devices varies from country to country. USFDA approval is
sometimes accepted as proof of efficacy in Chile and Singapore. There can be no
assurances that regulatory registration will be effected within an acceptable
time frame. Failure to achieve registration for sale of the BTAI will materially
and adversely effect the Company.
Competition; Technological Obsolescence. The Company is not aware of any
low-cost devices currently on the market which compete with the Company's
licensed device. Nevertheless, the Company's potential competitors may succeed
in developing products that are more effective or less costly than the Company's
products, and such competitors may also prove to be more successful than the
Company in manufacturing, marketing and sales. Some of the Company's potential
competitors may be large, well-financed and established companies that have
greater resources for research and development, manufacturing and marketing than
the Company and, therefore, may be better able than the Company to compete for a
share of the market even in areas in which the Company may have superior
technology. It is also possible that there will be technological changes or
developments by competitors which will render the device noncompetitive or
obsolete.
Dependence on Qualified Personnel. The success of the Company is dependent
on the continued efforts of Roger L. Fidler, the Company's President and Chief
Executive Officer. The loss of Mr. Fidler's services could have a material
adverse effect on the Company's operations. The success of the Company is also
dependent upon its ability to hire and retain additional qualified scientific,
managerial and manufacturing personnel. Competition for personnel is intense in
the medical device manufacturing industry. There can be no assurance that the
Company will be able to attract and retain qualified personnel.
Lack of Patent Protection; Neither the Company nor the Licensor of the
licensed device which the Company intends to manufacture has patented the
Company's licensed device in Chile or Singapore. Therefore, the Company must
rely on trade secrets, to protect its technology. There can be no assurances
that trade secrets will be established, that secrecy obligations will be
honored, or that others will not independently develop similar or superior
technology. To the extent that consultants, key employees, or other parties
apply technological information independently developed by them or by others to
Company products, disputes may arise as to the proprietary rights to such
information which may not be resolved in favor of the Company. There is no
assurance that the Company will be able to prevent competitors from using the
same or similar marks, concepts or appearance or will have the financial
resources to protect its marks against infringing use. The Company does not
currently intend to apply for patents on the licensed device in Chile or
Singapore. In the event that patent protection is not obtained, the business of
the Company may be materially and adversely affected.
Product Liability. The nature of the Company's products may expose the
Company to product liability risks. The Company currently does not maintain
product liability insurance coverage. Although the Company plans to obtain
product liability insurance before sales of the licensed device begin, such
insurance is becoming increasingly expensive and there can be no assurance that
the Company will be able to obtain or maintain such insurance on acceptable
terms or that such insurance, if obtained, will provide adequate coverage
against product liability claims. While no product liability claims have been
brought against the Company to date, a successful product liability claim
against the Company in excess of its insurance coverage could have a material
adverse effect on the Company.
Risks Associated with an International License. The Company is only
licensed to sell the licensed product in Chile and Singapore. Thus, the Company
is required to create a strategy which will require it to run operations
exclusively in foreign markets. To date, the Company has no experience in
creating localized versions of its products and marketing and distributing its
products internationally. There can be no assurance that the Company or the
entities with which it partners in these international markets will be able to
successfully manufacture, market, sell and deliver the Company's licensed
products in these markets. In addition to the uncertainty as to the Company's
ability to operate with an international presence, there are certain risks
inherent in doing business on an international level which could adversely
impact the success of the Company's international operations. These risks
include technical difficulty in localizing the products for the specific
territories, changes in regulatory requirements, export restrictions, export
controls relating to encryption technology, tariffs and other trade barriers,
difficulties in staffing and managing foreign operations, longer payment cycles,
problems in collecting accounts receivable, political instability, fluctuations
in currency exchange rates, seasonal reductions in business activity during the
summer months in Europe and certain other parts of the world and potentially
adverse tax consequences. In some cases, the prohibitive costs of telephones,
telephone lines, high speed links and other communications access may exclude
whole countries. There can be no assurance that one or more of such factors will
not have a material adverse effect on the Company's future international
operations and, consequently, on the Company's business, operating results and
financial condition. Concentration of Stock Ownership. The present directors,
executive officers and their respective affiliates are the beneficial owners of
approximately 63.6% of the outstanding Common stock and upon completion of this
offering, the present directors, executive officers and their respective
affiliates will beneficially own approximately 63.28% of the outstanding Common
Stock. As a result, these stockholders are and will be able to exercise absolute
control over all matters requiring stockholder approval, including the election
of directors and approval of significant corporate transactions. Such
concentration of ownership may also have the effect of delaying or preventing a
change in control of the company.
Potential Conflicts of Interest. In connection with its acquisition of the
technology relating to the licensed device, the Company entered into the License
Agreement with Scantek and the Turnkey Construction Contract with Zigmed. Upon
completion of this Offering, Scantek will own beneficially approximately 20% of
the Company's outstanding Common Stock. Zigmed is controlled by Zsigmond G.
Sagi, the son of Dr. Sagi, the Chairman of the Board of Scantek. These
relationships could result in conflicts of interest and none of Scantek, Dr.
Sagi or Zigmed is under any obligation to resolve such conflicts in favor of the
Company. In connection with this Offering, the Company has adopted a policy
whereby all future transactions between the Company and its officers, directors,
principal stockholders or affiliates, will be approved by a majority of the
Board of Directors, including a majority of the independent and disinterested
members of the Board of Directors or, if required by law, a majority of
disinterested stockholders, and will be on terms no less favorable to the
Company than could be obtained in arm's length transactions from unaffiliated
third parties. However, until such directors have been employed, this will not
be effective.
Shares Eligible for Future Sale. Future sales of shares of Common Stock by
existing stockholders, or optionholders or warrantholders upon exercise of their
options or warrants, pursuant to Rule 144 ("Rule 144") promulgated under the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), or otherwise, could
have an adverse effect on the price of shares of Common Stock. Sales of
substantial amounts of Common Stock or the perception that such sales could
occur could adversely affect prevailing market prices for the Common Stock. Each
of the Company, the existing stockholders and all holders of options, warrants
or other securities exchangeable for or convertible into Common Stock have
entered into certain lock-up agreements with the Representative.
Absence of Dividends. The Company has never paid a dividend on the Common
Stock and does not expect to pay any dividends on the Common Stock in the
foreseeable future. See "Dividend Policy."
USE OF PROCEEDS
The Company will only receive nominal proceeds from the sale of the
1,800,000 of the Shares to be registered under this registration Statement
($1,525) but will receive $825,000 from the execution of the options rendered
hereunder, if and only if those options are executed. Additionally, the Company
will benefit from the services rendered under the Compensation Agreements. The
Company anticipates that it will use such gross proceeds for general corporate
and working capital purposes.

Statement, the Shares to which this Prospectus relates will be issued by the
Company from time to time, or at any one time, as compensation pursuant to

THE REGISTRATION STATEMENT
Item 3. Incorporation of Documents by Reference.
The following documents heretofore filed by the Registrant with the
Securities and Exchange Commission (File No. 000-05367) pursuant to Section
13(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the "1934 Act") are incorporated
herein by reference:
(a) The Registrant's Annual Report on Form 10-KSB for the
fiscal year ended December 31, 1997;
(b) The Registrant's Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for the fiscal quarter
ended March 31, 1998 and June 30, 1998 and the Registrant's Current
Reports on Form 8K, filed by the Registrant on December 1, 1997
and September 11, 1998; and
(c) See Item 4, Description of Securities below.
All documents filed subsequent to the date of this Registration Statement
pursuant to Section 13(a), 13(c), 14 or 15(d) of the 1934 Act and prior to the
filing of a post-effective amendment which indicates that all securities offered
have been sold or which deregisters all securities then remaining unsold, shall
be deemed to be incorporated by reference in this Registration Statement and to
be a part hereof from the date of the filing of such documents. Any statement
contained in a document incorporated or deemed to be incorporated herein by
reference shall be deemed to be modified or superseded for purposes of this
Registration Statement to the extent that a statement contained herein or in any
other subsequently filed document which also is or is deemed to be incorporated
by reference herein modifies or supersedes such statement.
Item 4. Description of Securities.
The Common Stock of the Registrant is registered under Section 12(g) of the
Exchange Act.
All of the 1,800,000 shares of Common Stock, par value $.001 per share (the
"Common Stock"), offered hereby are being offered by D-Lanz Development Group,
Inc. (the "Registrant"). As of October 13, 1998, the Common Stock is traded
through the Over The Counter Market under the symbol "DLNZ" The last reported
sales price for the Common Stock on October 13, 1998 was $1.25 per share.
The Registrant is authorized to issue 55,000,000 shares of which 50,000,000
shares are common stock with a par value of $.001 per share and 5,000,000 shares
are preferred stock with a par value of $.001 per share. As of the date hereof,
the Registrant had 10,000,000 shares of Common Stock outstanding held of record
by approximately 800 holders. No shares of Preferred Stock are currently
outstanding. Holders of Common Stock are entitled to one vote for each share
held of record on each matter submitted to a vote of stockholders. There is no
cumulative voting for election of directors. Subject to the prior rights of any
series of Preferred Stock which may from time to time be outstanding, if any,
holders of Common Stock are entitled to receive dividends when, as, and if
declared by the Board of Directors out of funds legally available therefor and,
upon the liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Registrant, are entitled
to share ratably in all assets remaining after payment of liabilities and
payment of accrued dividends and liquidation preferences on the Preferred Stock,
if any. Holders of Common Stock have no preemptive rights and have no rights to
convert their Common Stock into any other securities. All outstanding shares of
Common Stock are, and the shares of Common Stock offered hereby upon issuance,
will be, duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable.
The Registrant's Restated Certificate of Incorporation authorizes the
issuance of Preferred Stock with such designations, rights and preferences as
may be determined from time to time by the Board of Directors. Accordingly, the
Board is empowered, without stockholder approval, to issue Preferred Stock with
dividend, liquidation, conversion, voting or other rights which could adversely
affect the relative voting power or other rights of the holders of the
Registrant's Common Stock. In the event of issuance, the Preferred Stock could
be used, under certain circumstances, as a method of discouraging, delaying or
preventing a change in control of the Registrant. Although the Registrant has no
present intention to issue any shares of Preferred Stock, there can be no
assurance that the Registrant will not do so in the future. If the Registrant
issues shares of Preferred Stock, the issuance may have a dilutive effect upon
the holders of the Registrant's Common Stock, including the purchasers of the
shares being offered hereby.
Item 5. Interests of Named Experts and Counsel.
Roger L. Fidler, Esq., has passed upon the legality under the law of
Delaware, the state in which the Company is incorporated, of the Common Stock of
the Company being offered hereby. Mr. Fidler is the majority holder of the
Company's common stock, holding 6,360,000 shares of the Common Stock of the
Company.
Item 6. Indemnification of Directors and Officers.
Section 145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law authorizes a
corporation, under certain circumstances, to indemnify its directors and
officers (including reimbursement for expenses incurred). The registrant has
provided for indemnification to the extent permitted by the provisions of the
Delaware statute in its charter and by-laws. See Item 9, "Undertakings."

Item 9. Undertakings
The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes: (1) To file, during any
period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to
this registration statement: (i) To include any prospectus required by Section
10(a)(3) of theSecurities Act of 1933; (ii) To reflect in the prospectus any
facts or events arising after the effective date of the registration statement
(or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in
the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in
the registration statement; (iii) To include any material information with
respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the registration
statement or any material change to such information in the registration
statement; provided, however, that paragraphs (a)(1)(i) and (a)(1)(ii) do not
apply if the registration statement is on Form S-3, Form S-8, and the
information required to be included in a post-effective amendment by those
paragraphs is contained in periodic reports filed by the registrant pursuant to
Section 13 or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 that are incorporated
by reference in the registration statement. (2) That, for the purpose of
determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each such
post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement
relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities
at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof. (3)
To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the
securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the
offering.
The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of
determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each filing of the
registrant's annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or Section 15(d) of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934 that is incorporated by reference in this
registration statement shall be deemed to be a new registration statement
relating to the securities offered herein, and the offering of such securities
at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act
of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the
registrant pursuant to the provisions described under Item 6 above, or
otherwise, the registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities
and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as
expressed in the Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim
for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the
registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling
person of the registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or
proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in
connection with the securities being registered, the registrant will, unless in
the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent,
submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such
indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Act and will
be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

EXHIBIT 99.04
CONSULTING AGREEMENT
THIS CONSULTING AGREEMENT (the "Agreement") made as of September 30, 1998
by and between Wharton Capital Group, Inc. (the "Consultant") and D-Lanz
Development Group, Inc. (the "Company").
WITNESSETH:
WHEREAS, Client and Consultant have previously entered into a consulting
agreement whereby Client retained Consultant to advise Client with respect to
certain financial, management and public relations matters; and,
WHEREAS, Consultant and Client have mutually agreed to amend such
consulting agreement;
IT IS NOW THEREFORE AGREED that Client hereby employs Consultant to consult
with respect to financial, management and public relations matters, explicitly
unrelated to cash raising activities, on the terms and conditions set forth
hereinafter, in consideration of which ten dollars has been paid in hand, and
other good and valuable consideration has been exchanged, the receipt and
sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, to wit:
1. Duties of Consultant. Consultant shall use his best efforts and such
time as Consultant and Client shall deem to be necessary and/or advisable to
advise the Company on financial, management and public relations matters as
requested by the Client. The Company acknowledges that Consultant is not
required by this Agreement to restrict his services only to the Company and it
is further specified that these services are unrelated, and will remain
unrelated, to cash raising activities.
2. This Agreement shall become effective as of the date first set forth
above, and shall continue for a period of two (2) years. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, the Company and/or Consultant shall be entitled to terminate this
Agreement for cause upon 30 days' written notice, which written notice shall be
effective upon mailing by first class mail accompanied by facsimile transmission
to Consultant at the address and telecopier number last provided by Consultant
to the Company. Cause shall be determined solely as to the following: violation
of any rule or regulation of any regulatory agency; and other neglect, act or
omission detrimental to the conduct of Company's and/or Consultant's business;
material breach of this Agreement or any unauthorized disclosure of any of the
secrets or confidential information of Company; dishonesty related to
independent contractor status.
3. As compensation for Consultant's services, the Company shall issue to
Consultant upon the execution of this Agreement, pursuant to the terms of the
Company's Non-Qualified Stock Option Plan, an option to purchase up to 125,000
shares of Common Stock, which shall vest immediately upon execution of this
Agreement, at an exercise price of $0.40 per share, and option to purchase up to
275,000 shares of Common Stock, which shall vest immediately upon execution of
this Agreement, at an exercise price of $0.10 per sharefor services to be
performed by Consultant for the benefit of the Company. The Company further
agrees to register the shares underlying said option on Form S-8.
4. Consultant covenants that all information concerning the Company,
including proprietary information, which it obtains as a result of the services
rendered pursuant to this Agreement shall be kept confidential and shall not be
used by Consultant except for the direct benefit of the Company nor disclosed by
Consultant to any third party without the prior written approval of the Company,
unless such confidential information becomes public knowledge.
5. Consultant and the Company hereby acknowledge that Consultant is an
independent contractor. Consultant shall not hold itself out as, nor shall it
take any action from which others might infer that it is a partner or agent of,
or a joint venturer with the Company. In addition, Consultant shall take no
action which binds, or purports to bind, the Company.
6. This Agreement contains the entire agreement between the parties,
and may not be changed except by agreement in writing signed by the party
against whom enforcement of any waiver, change, discharge or modification is
sought. Waiver of or failure to exercise any rights provided by this Agreement
in any respect shall not be deemed a waiver of any further or future rights. The
parties hereto agree to execute such other documents and agreements as is
necessary to effectuate the terms of this Agreement.
7. This Agreement shall be construed under the laws of the State of
Delaware. The parties hereto agree to the jurisdiction of the courts of the
State of New Jersey.
8. This Agreement shall be binding upon the parties, their successors
and assigns; provided, however, that Consultant shall not permit any other
person or entity to assume these obligations hereunder without the prior written
approval of the Company.
9. This Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts, each of
which shall be deemed an original, but all of which shall constitute but one
agreement.
10. Consultant agrees to indemnify, defend and save the Company and its
officer, directors, agents, employees, shareholders, legal representatives,
successors and assigns, and each of them, from any and all claims, actions and
suits, whether groundless or otherwise, and from and against any and all
liabilities, judgements, losses, damages, costs, charges, attorneys fees, and
other expenses of every nature and character by reason of Consultant's business.
