PART I
Item 1. Business
General
National Diversified Services, Inc. ("National" or the "Company") was
incorporated under the laws of the State of Delaware on May 30, 1985.
National's business purpose is to seek and review acquisition
possibilities, and to make one or more acquisitions or enter into business
endeavors and provide opportunities for strong organic growth.
Business Strategy
The Company is seeking one or more potential business opportunities through
the acquisition of existing businesses, assets to establish subsidiary
businesses for the Company, a statutory merger or consolidation or the
establishment of a new business or industry. However, due to the limited working
capital of the Company, it is likely that the Company will enter into only one
business transaction.
The Company may also seek to acquire one or more majority and/or wholly
owned equity positions in other companies through the direct purchase of stock.
Such equity positions will be limited by Section 3(a)(3) of the Investment
Company Act of 1940 (the "1940 Act"), in that the Company will not be permitted
to own or propose to acquire investment securities having a value exceeding 40%
of the Company's total assets (exclusive of government securities and cash
items) on an unconsolidated basis.
The Company may provide debt financing to companies in which it has taken
(or intends to take) an equity position. Such financing would generally be made
on an unsecured basis. In no event will the Company provide financing for or
take equity positions in companies where the aggregate of such investments would
cause the Company to be required to register under the 1940 Act.
Present Management of the Company may or may not become involved as
management in the aforementioned business or subsidiary or may hire qualified
but as yet unidentified management personnel. There can, however, be no
assurance whatsoever that the Company will be able to acquire a business.
A potential acquisition of a business may involve the acquisition of, or
merger with, a company which does not need additional capital but which desires
to establish a public trading market for its shares. A company that seeks the
Company's participation in attempting to consolidate its operations through a
merger, reorganization, asset acquisition, or some other form of combination may
desire to do so to avoid what it may deem to be adverse consequences of itself
undertaking a public offering including the inability or unwillingness to comply
with various federal and state laws enacted for the protection of investors.
Factors considered may include time delays, significant expense,
2
<PAGE>
loss of voting control. In connection with such acquisition, it is possible that
an amount of stock constituting control of the Company would be purchased from
the Company or its current officers, directors and stockholders resulting in
substantial profits to such persons without similar profits being realized by
other stockholder. Moreover, no assurance can be given with respect to the
experience or qualifications of as yet unknown persons who may, in the future,
engage in the operations of the Company or any business or subsidiary acquired
by the Company. In the event of a change in control of the Company and its Board
of Directors, the payment of dividends would be wholly dependent upon such
persons. Furthermore, it is impossible as yet to determine what, if any,
consequences applicable state law may provide to the Company's shareholders in
any merger or reorganization.
General Policy
The Company may establish or acquire a business and/or invest in one or
more new and developing corporations, whether directly or by way of statutory
merger, which the Management of the Company determines will offer significant
long-term growth potential. In the case of an equity position, the Company will
seek to acquire primarily a majority owned and wholly owned capital stock
position in such corporation. The Company is not restricted to any particular
industry and may engage in any line of business. Accordingly, Management's
discretion as to the type of businesses and equity investments is unlimited.
Management assumes that any business to be acquired and/or equity
investment made by the Company, whether directly or by way of statutory merger,
will involve a business that is new and unseasoned, or a business that has been
operating for a limited period of time and has a limited or unsuccessful record
of revenues or earnings. Investments in start-up enterprises result in a higher
risk of total loss of investment by the Company. Except in cases of a merger or
other instances where stockholders' approval may be required by applicable law,
the Company's stockholders will not have the opportunity to review the relative
merits or weaknesses of any proposed business to be acquired or equity
investment to be made and, accordingly, will have to rely upon the discretion of
Management in selecting a business or investment.
The Company has identified certain general policies which will be
considered by the Company in evaluating business acquisition candidates and
investment possibilities. These policies are listed below. In no event will the
Company provide financing or take equity positions in companies where the
aggregate of such investments would cause the Company to be required to register
under the 1940 Act.
1. The Company will examine the products or services of a business
being considered to determine whether a market exists for the products or
services and whether the business can manufacture and/or market the products or
produce the services at a competitive cost.
3
<PAGE>
2. The Company will invest in a corporation that it believes has a
strong potential for growth. The Company will evaluate the corporation's
business and determine the quality and experience of its management.
3. The Company may invest in an operating corporation that has
experienced increases in gross revenues which exceed industry averages. The
market for the corporation's products will be evaluated by determining the
relationship of size, growth potential and competitive factors in that
corporation's industry. This may include the purchase of businesses which offer
opportunities for consolidation.
4. The Company will also consider the following factors: (1) special
risks associated with the business and the industry, (2) equity available to the
business, (3) capital requirements of the business, (4) potential for
profitability and (5) the effect of market and economic conditions and
governmental policies on the business and its products.
It is unlikely that any one prospective corporation with which the
Company may seek to enter a relationship will conform in all respects to the
policies described above. Accordingly, this description is intended to serve
only as a general guide for the Company's projected investment activities. These
policies are not fundamental policies of the Company and may be changed at any
time by the Company's Board of Directors.
The Company intends to actively participate (through present Management
or presently unidentified individuals who may be hired by the Company) in the
management of the operations of any business or subsidiary in which it acquires
an interest. In order to accomplish this objective in the case of a subsidiary,
the Company will be represented on the board of directors of such target
corporation through a nominee of its choice. In addition, where the Company
deems it beneficial, the Company may also have a nominee of its choice elected
as an officer. Such nominee is expected to be an officer or director of the
Company. The objective of such acquisition(s) will be to enhance that
corporation's capabilities through active management as well as financial
support.
The Company anticipates that it will be brought into contact with a
prospective business acquisition or equity investment primarily through the
efforts of its officers, directors and principal stockholders who in the course
of their professional activities frequently come into contact with corporations
whose products, services or concepts may be subject to successful development
and marketing. In such connection, the Company may pay a finder's fee to such
officers, directors, principal stockholders or their affiliates. Any such
payment would not be higher than that which would ordinarily be paid to a non-
affiliated person. The Company proposes to make a business acquisition or equity
investment and to provide interim financing which will assist such organization
in the development of these products, services and concepts. To date, the
Company does not have any contracts or commitments with anyone or any firm with
regard to these business activities. The Company also does not have any
arrangements or understandings with respect to the acquisition of any business
entity or the acquisition of any interest therein.
4
<PAGE>
The Company may use independent consultants (who may agree to receive
stock of the Company in payment for their services in lieu of cash) to explore
areas of, and to seek out, acquisition prospects. Such independent consultants
would be expected to have such expertise or knowledge which would be of use to
Management in any investment decision. The Company has not engaged any
independent consultants as of March 27, 2000.
At this time, Management believes the Company's equity investments will
be made in private transactions with privately owned corporations. Securities
acquired in this manner are restricted from public sale unless they are
registered under the Securities Act of 1933, or unless an exemption from
registration is available.
Government Regulation
The Company may be subject to government regulations promulgated by
various local, state and Federal government agencies with regard to its proposed
business. Additionally, the Company, in the purchase of equity positions, will
be subject to various rules and regulations promulgated by the Securities and
Exchange Commission and the various state securities commissions. Company does
not intend to engage in the business of investing, reinvesting, owning, holding
or trading in securities or otherwise engaging in activities which would render
the Company an "investment company" as defined in the Investment Company Act of
1940, as amended.
The Company's financing activities will be limited by Section 3(a)(3)
of the Investment Company Act of 1940 in that the Company will not be permitted
to own or propose to acquire investment securities having a total value
exceeding 40% of the value of the Company's total assets (excluding government
securities and cash items) on an unconsolidated basis. The Company is permitted
under Section 3(a)(3) of the 1940 Act to own or propose to own securities of a
majority owned subsidiary which is defined under Section 2(a)(24) of the 1940
Act to mean 50% or more of the outstanding securities of which are owned by the
Company or a majority owned subsidiary of the Company. Notwithstanding Section
3(a)(3) of the 1940 Act, the Company would not be considered an investment
company where it is engaged directly or indirectly through a wholly-owned
subsidiary (which is defined to mean at least 95% ownership of the outstanding
voting stock), in a business or businesses, other than that of investing,
owning, holding or trading in securities.
In addition to the limitations by the Investment Company Act of 1940 as
mentioned above, there are a number of other provisions of the Federal
securities laws which will affect the Company's proposed investments.
Most, if not all, of the securities which the Company acquires as
equity investments will be "restricted securities" within the meaning of the
Securities Act of 1933 ("Securities Act") and will not be permitted to be resold
without compliance with the Securities Act. The registration of securities owned
by the Company is likely to be a time consuming and expensive process, and the
Company always bears the risk, because of these delays, that
5
<PAGE>
it will be unable to resell such securities, or that it will not be able to
obtain an attractive price for the securities. In the event the Company does not
register securities it acquires for sale, it will seek to rely upon an exemption
from registration. Among other exemptions, Rule 144 of the Securities Act of
1933, as amended, imposes a one year holding period prior to the sale of
restricted securities and established volume limitations on the amount of any
restricted securities that can be sold within certain defined time periods.
Competition
There are numerous similar companies which are larger, have more
experience, and are better financed than the Company. The Company may encounter
intense competition from numerous other firms engaged in its field. In view of
the Company's lack of operating history, it may be anticipated that the Company
will encounter competition seeking relatively more desirable equity investments.
Accordingly, the Company's proposed equity investments, if any, will entail a
high degree of business and financial risk that may result in substantial losses
to the Company.
Personnel
The Company presently has no full-time employees. The day-to-day
operations of the Company are managed by George Rubin, the Company's Chairman,
and Morry F. Rubin, its President, each of whom devotes such time to the affairs
of the Company which is necessary for the performance of his duties.
Item 2. Properties
Currently the Company is utilizing the office space of its counsel,
Lester Morse P.C., at no cost to the Company until an acquisition is consummated
or a business is established. The amount of office space utilized by the Company
is currently insignificant.
Item 3. Legal Proceedings
There are no material legal proceedings pending against the Company.
Item 4. Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders.
Not Applicable.

<PAGE>
PART II
Item 5. Market for Registrant's Securities and Related Stockholder Matters.
From the completion of the Company's public offering in December 1986
until the present time, the Company's securities have been traded in the
over-the-counter market. The Company believes that there is not an active
trading market for the Company's Common Stock and quotations for, and
transactions in the securities are limited. Price quotations for prior periods
are not being supplied herein because in view of the infrequent trading in the
securities, they would not be meaningful.
Management has been advised by its transfer agent (American Stock
Transfer Company) that the approximate number of holders of the Company's Common
Stock as of March 27, 2000 was 328.
No cash dividends have been paid by the Company on its Common Stock and
no such payment is anticipated in the foreseeable future.
Of the Company's issued and outstanding 6,548,870 shares of Common
Stock as of March 27, 2000, 5,790,300 shares of the Company's restricted Common
Stock may be sold in compliance with Rule 144. Rule 144 provides among other
things and subject to certain limitations that a person holding restricted
securities for a period of one year may sell those securities in brokerage
transactions, in an amount equal to at least 1% of the Company's outstanding
Common Stock every three months. Possible or actual sales of the Company's
Common Stock under Rule 144 may have a depressive effect upon the price of the
Company's Common Stock.
Broker-Dealer Sales of Company's Registered Securities.
Except where the Company's Common Stock has a market price of at least
$5.00 per share, the Company's Registered Securities are covered by a Securities
and Exchange Commission ("SEC") rule that imposes additional sales practice
requirements on broker- dealers who sell such securities to persons other than
established customers and institutional accredited investors. For transactions
covered by the rule, the broker-dealer must make a special suitability
determination for the purchaser and receive the purchaser's written agreement to
the transaction prior to the sale. Consequently, the rule affects the ability of
broker-dealers to sell the Company's securities and also may affect the ability
of purchasers in this offering to sell their securities in the secondary market.
The SEC has adopted seven rules ("Rules") under the Securities Exchange
Act of 1934 requiring broker/dealers engaging in certain recommended
transactions with their customers in specified equity securities falling within
the definition of "penny stock" (generally non-NASDAQ securities priced below $5
per share) to provide to those customers certain specified information. Unless
the transaction is exempt under the Rules, broker/dealers effecting customer
transactions in such defined penny stocks are required to provide their
customers with: (1) a risk disclosure document; (2) disclosure of current bid
and ask quotations, if any; (3) disclosure of the compensation of the
broker/dealers
7
<PAGE>
and its salesperson in the transaction; and (4) monthly account statements
showing the market value of each penny stock held in the customer's account.
These SEC Rules were adopted in April, 1992 pursuant to the requirements of the
Securities Enforcement Remedies and Penny Stock Reform Act of 1990 ("Penny Stock
Act").
As a result of the aforesaid rules regulating penny stocks, the market
liquidity for the Company's securities, if any, may be severely adversely
affected by limiting the ability of broker-dealers to sell the Company's
securities and the ability of purchasers of the Company's securities in the
secondary market.

Item 7. Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
Results of Operations.
Results of Operations
During the past three years, except for interest income, no revenues
were received by the Company. The Company is presently exploring various
business opportunities that may be available to it. See "Item 1."
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Financing of the Company's activities has been provided from the public
sale of its securities for cash amounting to a net of approximately $600,000. At
December 31, 1999, the Company's working capital amounted to $252,041 with cash
and cash equivalent assets of $252,466. The Company has an arrangement with
George Rubin and Morry Rubin pursuant to which each received Warrants to
purchase 1,000,000 shares of the Company's Common Stock at an exercise price of
$.03 per share at any time until November 21, 2007 in exchange for them making
available to the Company a line of credit of an aggregate up to $500,000. The
Company believes that its presently available cash and cash equivalents combined
with the availability of the above referenced line of credit are sufficient to
fund the Company's search for a business opportunity. If successful in entering
into such a business opportunity, the Company may require additional financing.
No assurances can be given that the Company will be successful in entering into
a business opportunity and if successful in securing additional financing for
the Company on terms satisfactory to it, if at all.
There are no material commitments for capital expenditures or other
long term credit arrangements.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT
To the Board of Directors and Stockholders
National Diversified Services, Inc.
New York, New York
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of National
Diversified Services, Inc. and Subsidiaries as at December 31, 1999 and 1998,
and the related consolidated statements of operations, cash flows, and changes
in stockholders' equity for the three years ended December 31, 1999. These
consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's
management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated
financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are
free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis,
evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial
statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and
significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall
financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a
reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present
fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of National Diversified
Services, Inc. and Subsidiaries as at December 31, 1999, 1998 and 1997, and the
results of their operations and their cash flows for the years then ended, in

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
DECEMBER 31, 1999, 1998 AND 1997
NOTE A - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Organization and History
The Company was organized under the laws of the State of Delaware on May
30, 1985 and was in the development stage until 1989. During November 1989,
the Company began setting up operations to import to the United States
products for sale principally to the hardware and construction markets. Two
wholly-owned subsidiaries were formed to conduct these operations. The
Company commenced operations during the first three months of 1990 and
began billing its customers in April 1990. Billings to customers ended in
June 1990 and the Company terminated its import business. Currently, the
Company is exploring various business opportunities that may be available
to it.
Principles of Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company
and its subsidiaries, which are all wholly-owned and totally inactive. All
significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in
consolidation.
Use of Estimates in the Preparation of Financial Statements
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and
assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and
disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the
financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses
during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from these
estimates.
Concentrations of Credit Risk
The Company places its cash balances with high credit quality financial
institutions. At times, such balances may be in excess of the FDIC
insurance limit. At December 31, 1999, no amounts were in excess of the
FDIC limit.
Property, Plant and Equipment and Depreciation
Property, plant and equipment have been fully depreciated primarily by
accelerated methods over the estimated useful lives of the individual
classes of assets.
Cash Equivalents
Cash equivalents comprised an investment in short-term commercial paper
with a maturity of less than ninety days.

of the financial statements. The resulting deferred tax assets or
liabilities are adjusted to reflect changes in tax laws as they occur.
