    Because this is only a summary, it does not contain all of the information
that may be important to you. You should read the entire prospectus, including
"Risk Factors" and the financial statements and the notes thereto, before
deciding to invest in our common stock.

                                  THE COMPANY

    The Company has developed a patented French fries vending machine (the
"Machine"). The Company intends to manufacture and market the machine in both
domestic and international markets through a combination of exclusive,
territorial distributorships and traditional sales to established companies in
the vending industry. The Company may also own and operate machines itself. The
machines are expected to be located in high-traffic locations that have
historically been successful for vending operators, such as universities,
airports, bus and train stations, high schools, military bases, industrial
locations and recreational venues.

    The Company has also developed a related proprietary potato product for the
production of French fries in the Machine (the "Potato Product"). Although the
Company has developed its own potato product, the Company presently intends to
purchase a comparable potato product for use in the machine from a third party.
This strategic determination is driven by the high costs associated with
establishing a production line to produce its own, proprietary Potato Product.
At such time as the economics of the business and the success of the machine
warrant the capital investment of a production line, the Company may manufacture
its own, proprietary Potato Product or license the product to a contract
manufacturer.

    The Company's basic business strategy is to market the machines and the
ancillary products that are required to prepare each serving of French fries.
These ancillary products include the potato product, vegetable cooking oil and
serving cups (with salt and ketchup packets attached). The Company's long-term
profitability and success will be driven primarily by the revenue and
accompanying profit to the Company associated with each and every vended portion
sold from its installed base of Machines.

    The Company has subsequently federally registered its name and logo, "Tasty
Fries", as a federal trademark on the Supplemental Register and has been
marketing the Machine and its products under that name.

    The Company is a Nevada corporation with its principal executive offices at
650 Sentry Parkway, Suite One, Blue Bell, Pennsylvania 19422. Its telephone
number is (610) 941-2109.

                                  RISK FACTORS

    An investment in the Common Stock of the Company offered hereby is highly
speculative and involves a high degree of risk. Investors could lose their
entire investment. Prospective investors should carefully consider the following
factors, along with the other information set forth in this Prospectus, in
evaluating the Company, its business and prospects before purchasing the Common
Stock.

    LIMITED OPERATING HISTORY; NO REVENUES FROM OPERATIONS; NO ASSURANCE OF
SUCCESSFUL IMPLEMENTATION OF BUSINESS STRATEGY.  Although the Company has
operated since July 1991 in its current business, it has had virtually no
revenues from operations. Substantially all cash received by the Company to date
has been through the sale of equity and debt securities to investors in private
placements. Limited funds have also been received from the down payments made by
certain distributors for their distribution rights for the Machine and the
Products. As of July 31, 1999, the amount of all such down payments aggregated
$406,000. The Company has utilized the proceeds from the sale of securities and
distributor down payments to fund its research and development of the Machine
and the Products, repay debt, satisfy Court judgments and court awards and for
working capital purposes. The Company has incurred substantial net losses since
1991 and is still in its development stage.

    The Company continues to face all of the risks inherent in the growth of a
developing business, including among other things, a continuing lack of
sufficient working capital to fund development and operations. There can be no
assurances that the Company's business will ultimately be successful and/or
profitable. As a result, the purchase of the Shares offered hereby must be
regarded by investors as the placing of funds at a high and uncertain risk in a
developing business with all of the unforeseen costs, expenses, problems and
difficulties to which such businesses are subject. Investors in this offering
may lose all or a substantial part of their investment.

    HISTORY OF SUBSTANTIAL LOSSES; NEED FOR ADDITIONAL CAPITAL.  The Company
incurred net losses of $2,172,577 and $4,798,588 for the fiscal years ended
January 31, 1999 and 1998, respectively, and a net loss for the six months ended
July 31, 1999 and 1998 of $2,657,588 and $1,193,598, respectively. In order to
attain any profitability, the Company must commence commercial production and
delivery of the Machine and its Products to distributors, lessees and
independent operators if any, and successfully plan and control costs so as to
produce a positive operating margin. There can be no assurance that the Company
can do so, and the failure of the Company to achieve and maintain profitability
could ultimately result in the inability of the Company to pay its financial
obligations as they become due. This would, as it has in the past, have a
material adverse effect on the Company.

    The report of the Company's independent certified public accountants
accompanying the Company's financial statements set forth elsewhere herein
contains an explanatory paragraph that there exists substantial doubt about the
Company's ability to continue as a going concern due to its continuing losses
and lack of liquidity and capital resources. Unless the Company can continue to
obtain financing from the issuance of Common Stock and/or through loans until
such time as it has sufficient revenues from operations, as to which no
assurances are given; the Company may be required to cease all operations.

    At January 31, 1999 and 1998, the Company reported a working capital deficit
of approximately $(531,436) and ($152,529), respectively. As of July 31, 1999,
the Company reported a working capital deficit of approximately ($(1,372,033).
Presently existing capital resources are not sufficient for the Company to
maintain its current and planned operations through the remainder of the fiscal
quarter ending April 30, 1999. The Company has historically funded its
operations through a combination of the sale of securities, issuance of stock
for services or in settlement of corporate obligations and to a much lesser
extent, the down payments of distributors. Although the Company is in
discussions with several funding sources, no assurances can be given at this
time that any will be consummated. Any debt or equity financing, to the extent
available, as to which no assurances are given, may be dilutive to the interests
of investors in this offering.

    NO MANUFACTURING FACILITIES; COMPLETION OF TOOLING.  The Company has not and
does not intend to establish its own manufacturing operations. The Company has
been and will continue to be dependent upon third parties to manufacture its
Machines and Products, including the Potato Product. In June 1996, the Company
entered into a manufacturing agreement with a local Pennsylvania electronics
company to manufacture the Machines. It previously had an agreement with Premier
Design, Ltd. ("Premier"), a company owned by a former director, Harry Schmidt,
to manufacture the Machine; however, in accordance with the terms of such
agreement, which provides for Premier to receive a royalty for all Machines
sold.

    The Company's unaffiliated contractor has completed the tooling necessary to
produce the machines on a commercial basis. Approximately $250,000 is due the
contractor for its services in the tooling and manufacture of the Machine. In
November 1999, the Company raised $250,000 through a private placement of its
securities. The Company has earmarked these monies for payment to the
contractor.

    VIABILITY OF DISTRIBUTION AGREEMENTS.  Because of the delay in completing
the tooling process for the Machine, distributors who entered into distribution
agreements with the Company in the past may no longer have the ability to meet
their obligations thereunder. Accordingly, it is possible that one or more
distribution agreements may no longer be viable. In such event, the Company does
not intend to seek new distributors for such territories. Instead, the Company
intends to sell to large vending machine companies with the financial resources
to purchase Machines and the ability to service the Machines. No assurances are
given that such independent operators will be secured.

    NO CLEARLY DEFINED MARKETING PLAN.  Although the Company previously marketed
its french fry vending machine through agreements with distributors, it had
never established a clearly defined marketing plan. It had intended to utilize
these exclusive distributorships to market its Machine and Products worldwide.
Through discussions with consultants and other individuals and companies with
experience in the vending business, a decision was made in mid-1995 to change
this marketing focus by limiting, if not, ceasing all sales of exclusive
distributorships to third parties and possibly reacquiring existing
distributorships. It is the Company's present intention to market the Machines
utilizing large vending companies that have the ability to service and purchase
Machines or lease them to qualified vending companies on a long-term basis.
Additionally, these companies would have the ability to service the Machines and
order large quantities of Products, including Potato Product from the Company.

    PRODUCTION DEVELOPMENT RISKS.  The Machines have been operated by the
Company on a limited basis at trade shows, at previews to the investment banking
community, at a limited number of beta test sites and, in certain instances, by
distributors and others the United States and in foreign countries. Operating
results have been excellent to date; however, the Machines are always subject to
refinement, adjustment and improvement by the Company and its trained technical
personnel. There is no assurance that the Machines will continue to perform in
accordance with the Company's expectations over a long period of time.

    PATENT PROTECTION AND PROPRIETARY RIGHTS.  A patent was issued by the U.S.
Patent and Trademark Office in July 1996 for the Machine to Mr. Edward C. Kelly,
the inventor, who is President, Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of the
Board of the Company. The patent, prior to issue, was assigned to Premier, a
private company owned by Harry Schmidt, a former director of the Company, in
January 1995 pursuant to the terms of an amendment ("the "Premier Amendment") to
the Manufacturing Requirements Agreement, between the Company and Premier (the
"Premier Agreement"). The Premier Amendment provides that a one-half (1/2)
interest in the patent for the Machine will be assigned to the Company upon
payment by the Company to Premier of one-half of the Machine's total development
cost. Premier has agreed to accept 700,000 shares of our common stock in full
payment of our obligation to them.

                                       6
<PAGE>
    The Company has also filed for patent protection to the Patent Cooperation
Treaty ("PCT") for the Machine in 54 foreign countries which is currently
pending. Even if the Company receives all patents applied for, there can be no
assurances given that third parties will not assert infringement claims against
the Company in the future or that others will not infringe upon such patent. The
cost of defending or commencing patent infringement litigation is expensive with
no assurances as to the outcome thereof. The Company has a federally registered
trademark for its current name and logo, "Tasty Fries," on the Supplemental
Register and has been marketing the Machine and its Products under that name.

    DEPENDENCE ON MANAGEMENT.  The Company is wholly dependent upon the time,
talent and experience of Edward C. Kelly, its President and Chief Executive
Officer, who exercises control over the day-to-day affairs of the Company. The
Company's future success is materially dependent on the continued services of
Mr. Kelly and on its ability to attract, motivate and retain highly-qualified
employees. Mr. Kelly has an Employment Agreement, as amended, with the Company
and significant equity ownership of the Company. The loss of the services of Mr.
Kelly for any reason could have a material adverse effect on the Company. The
Company does not currently maintain key-man life insurance on Mr. Kelly or any
of its other employees.

    COMPETITION.  The Company faces competition from other suppliers of french
fries, including fast food outlets. The Company is aware of other companies
which have test marketed french fry vending machines or are in the process of
developing such machines. Certain of the companies may be currently viewed as
competitors or which may become competitors in the future, have more capital and
greater resources than the Company. Currently, the Company is aware of only one
viable competitor, TEGE, who uses dehydrated potatoes to produce its product.
Ore-Ida and Vendotech use frozen potatoes to produce their products. Management
believes, although no assurances are given, that due to current consumer demand
for french fried potatoes, that there will be strong competition in the future
in the area of french fry vending once technological problems have been solved.

    PREFERRED STOCK AUTHORIZED FOR ISSUANCE.  After the termination of this
offering and regardless of the amount of securities which may be sold hereby,
the Company will have available for issuance up to 5,000,000 shares of preferred
stock, $.001 par value per share. The Company's directors are authorized to
issue such preferred stock in one or more series and to fix the voting powers
and the designations, preferences and relative participating, optional or other
rights and restrictions thereof. Accordingly, the Company may issue one or more
series of preferred stock in the future that will have preference over the
Shares offered hereby with respect to the payment of dividends and upon its
liquidation, dissolution or winding up or have voting or conversion rights which
could adversely affect the voting power and percentage ownership of the holders
of the preferred stock and Common Stock.

    SHARES ELIGIBLE FOR FUTURE SALE.  As of the date hereof, the Company has
      shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding. Some of such shares of
Common Stock will become eligible for public sale at various times, subject to
compliance with an exemption from the registration requirements of the Act, such
as Rule 144 or Rule 144A or earlier registration under the Act. No predictions
can be made as to the effect, if any, that market sales of such shares or the
availability of such shares for sale or any shares which may be later issued
will have on the market price of the shares of Common Stock, which may prevail
from time to time. Sales of substantial amounts of shares of Common Stock in the
public market could adversely affect the market price of the Common Stock and
could impair the Company's future ability to raise capital through an offering
of equity securities.

    NO DIVIDENDS.  The Company has never paid any cash dividends on its Common
Stock and the Board of Directors does not anticipate paying cash dividends in
the foreseeable future. It currently intends to retain future earnings, if any,
to finance the growth of the business.

    PENNY STOCK REGULATION.  Broker-dealer practices in connection with
transactions in "penny stocks" are regulated by certain penny stock
rules adopted by the Commission. Penny stocks generally are equity securities
with a price of less than $5.00 (other than securities registered on certain
national securities exchanges or quoted on the NASDAQ system, provided that
current price and volume information with respect to transactions in such
securities is provided by the exchange or system). The penny stock
rules require a broker-dealer, prior to a transaction in a penny stock not
otherwise exempt from the rules, to deliver a standardized risk disclosure
document that provides information about penny stocks and the risks in the penny
stock market. The broker-dealer also must provide the customer with current bid
and offer quotations for the penny stock, the compensation of the broker-dealer
and its salesperson in the transaction, and monthly account statements showing
the market value of each penny stock held in the customer's account. In
addition, the penny stock rules generally require that prior to a transaction in
a penny stock, the broker-dealer make a special written determination that the
penny stock is a suitable investment for the purchaser and receive the
purchaser's written agreement to the transaction. These disclosure requirements
may have the effect of reducing the level of trading activity in the secondary
market for a stock that becomes subject to the penny stock rules. If the
Company's securities become subject to the penny stock rules, investors may find
it more difficult to sell their securities.

                           FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

    In this prospectus, we make statements about our future financial condition,
results of operations and business. These are based on estimates and assumptions

estimates and assumptions are reasonable, they are uncertain. These
forward-looking statements can generally be identified because the context of
the statement includes words such as may, will, except, anticipate, intend,
estimate, continue, believe or other similar words. Similarly, statements that
describe our future expectations, objectives and goals or contain projections of
our future results of operations or financial condition are also forward-looking
statements. Our future results, performance or achievements, could differ
materially from those expressed or implied in these forward-looking statements,
including those listed under the heading "Risk Factors" and other cautionary

                    MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
                  FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATION

PLAN OF OPERATION

    The Company's basic business model is to market the Machines and the
ancillary products that are required to prepare each serving of French fries.
These ancillary products include the potato product, vegetable cooking oil and
serving cups (with salt and ketchup packets attached). The Company's long-term
profitability and success will be driven by a significant degree by the revenue
and accompanying profit to the Company associated with each and every vended
portion sold from its installed base of Machines.

    With that business model in mind, the Company's current plan of operation is
to manufacture an initial quantity of 25 Machines. Management currently
estimates that a portion of these initial Machines will be sold to third parties
(existing distributors and others) and a number of them will be owned and
operated by the Company. The Company intends to place its Machines in locations
within the greater Portsmouth, New Hampshire area.

    Management believes that, once in full production, the business cycle of the
Company will allow it to operate in a cash positive fashion. That is, the
Company will require a significant advance payment from its customers with
receipt of each order; therefore providing a good portion of the capital
necessary to fund the procurement of essential component parts for machine
production. If management is incorrect in this assumption, the Company's capital
needs for manufacturing may be greater than currently anticipated. In this
event, the Company will be required to raise additional funds. There can be no
assurances given that any funding, including that which may be required to be
advanced, will be available or if available, on terms satisfactory to the
Company.

    Based upon the Company's internal projections, the Company should receive
sufficient cash flow to support the modest expansion of operations over the next
12 months. Although management cannot assure the ultimate success of its plan,
it is reasonably confident that it will enable the Company to continue its
business and grow modestly.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

    Since its inception, the Company has had no revenues from operations and has
relied almost exclusively on stockholder loans, limited distribution deposits
and sales of securities to raise working capital to fund operations. At
January 31, 1999 the Company had approximately $66,394 in cash.

    In June 1997, the Company received $1,000,000 from three non-"U.S. Persons",
as defined in Regulation S, in exchange for notes convertible into the Company's
common stock. The financing was completed pursuant to Section 903(C)(2) of
Regulation S under the Securities Act of 1933. Pursuant to the terms of the
financing, the Company issued 1,142,857 shares of common stock to be held in
escrow, pending the potential conversion of notes. The notes bear interest at 7%
annually and had a maturity date of May 14, 2000. In connection with the
financing, the Company also issued 250,000 common stock purchase warrants. The
notes were subsequently converted into 2,180,280 shares of our common stock.

    In November 1997, in a separate transaction, the Company received $1,600,000
from six non-"U.S. persons", as defined in Regulation S, in exchange for notes
convertible into the Company's common stock. The financing was completed
pursuant to Section 903(C)(2) of Regulation S under the Securities Act of 1933.
Pursuant to the terms of the financing, the Company issued 2,400,000 shares of
common stock to be held in escrow, pending the potential conversion of notes.
The notes bore interest at 6% annually and had a maturity date of November 5,
2000. In connection with the financing, the Company also issued 720,000 common
stock purchase warrants. The notes were subsequently converted into 4,105,870
shares or our common stock.

                                       11
<PAGE>
    In January 1998, the Company and a private investment corporation, a former
investor in the Company from April 1996, terminated the stock purchase agreement
that had been the basis for the original investment in 1996, due to lack of
performance on the investor's part.

    In April 1998, the Company entered into an agreement to receive $1,500,000
in proceeds from the sale of restricted stock to a U.S. corporation. The Company
issued 3,000,000 shares of common stock as consideration. The Company also
issued warrants to purchase 1,500,000 shares of common stock at an exercise
price of $1.90; the warrants expire April 12, 2001. The Company also issued
150,000 shares of restricted stock as a commission on the transaction. The
Company and the investor have entered into an escrow agreement for this
transaction and the shares were issued into escrow, pending funding. As of
January 31, 1999 the Company has received $800,000 of the total $1,500,000
financing and 1,600,000 of the total 3,000,000 shares have been released.

    Although management estimated that the April 1998 financing would allow it
to proceed with its current plan of operation, the Company will need to raise
additional capital to enter into full scale production. If the Company is unable
to obtain the desired funding from any source, it is highly unlikely that it
will be able to generate a sufficient amount of cash to support its operations
during the 12 months following the date hereof, unless it is able to obtain the
necessary funds from the sale of debt and/or equity during such period. Based
upon its past history, management believes that it may be able to obtain funding
in such manner but is unable to predict with any certainty the amount and terms
thereof.

    Subsequent to January 31, 1999, the Company has issued additional shares and
warrants to purchase common stock to various parties as payment for services
rendered. The Company intends to continue this practice.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS, FISCAL YEARS ENDING JANUARY 31, 1998 & 1999

    The Company had no revenues for the fiscal years ended January 31, 1998 and
1999. From fiscal 1997 to 1998, travel and entertainment expenses decreased
approximately 61% from approximately $147,372 in 1997 to approximately $57,656
in 1998 primarily due to significant decrease in business related travel.
Consulting expenses decreased from approximately $1,159,964 in fiscal 1997 to
$172,600 in fiscal 1998. The decrease in consulting expenses was primarily due
to the Company's reduced dependence on consultants to provide financial,
business and marketing expertise. Payroll and payroll taxes decreased
approximately 10% from approximately $640,267 in fiscal 1997 to approximately
$573,814 in fiscal 1998. The decrease payroll and payroll tax expense resulted
primarily from the release of personnel in 1998. Management believes, although
it cannot be assured, that it has made significant inroads in stabilizing its
operating and overhead costs and should be able to move forward with its
business plan as discussed herein.

                                    BUSINESS

GENERAL

    The Company has developed a patented French fries vending machine. The
Company intends to manufacture and market the machine in both domestic and
international markets through a combination of exclusive, territorial
distributorships and traditional sales to established companies in the vending
industry. The Company may also own and operate machines itself. The Machines are
expected to be located in high-traffic locations that have historically been
successful for vending operators, such as universities, airports, bus and train
stations, high schools, military bases, industrial locations and recreational
venues.

    The Company has also developed a related proprietary potato product for the
production of French fries in the Machine. Although the Company has developed
its own potato product, the

                                       12
<PAGE>
Company presently intends to purchase a comparable potato product for use in the
machine from a third party. This strategic determination is driven by the high
costs associated with establishing a production line to produce its own,
proprietary Potato Product. At such time as the economics of the business and
the success of the machine warrant the capital investment of a production line,
the Company may manufacture its own, proprietary Potato Product or license the
product to a contract manufacturer.

    The Company's basic business strategy is to market the machines and the
ancillary products that are required to prepare each serving of French fries.
These ancillary products include the potato product, vegetable cooking oil and
serving cups (with salt and ketchup packets attached). The Company's long-term
profitability and success will be driven primarily by the revenue and
accompanying profit to the Company associated with each and every vended portion
sold from its installed base of Machines. The Company has subsequently federally
registered its name and logo, "Tasty Fries", as a federal trademark on the
Supplemental Register and has been marketing the Machine and its products under
that name.

DESIGN AND MANUFACTURING

    In 1992, persons then associated with the Company filed a U.S. patent
application with respect to a device for the vending of fresh French fried
potatoes (the original machine) which was assigned to the Company on October 9,
1992. In January 1993, the Company entered into a manufacturing agreement with
Premier Design, Ltd. ("Premier") for the production of its vending machine (the
"Premier Agreement"). The Premier Agreement provided that Premier would refine
and manufacture the original machine. The Agreement called for the Company and
Premier to share the development costs of the project; such costs were to
include design, engineering and initial manufacturing costs projected over the
initial quantity of production machines. The Agreement also provided for Premier
to manufacture any additional or similar machines for the Company. The Premier
Agreement could not be terminated by either party so long as Premier provided
the Machines as required by the Company. Pursuant to the terms of the Premier
Agreement, the first initial production of machines was to be delivered by June
15, 1993.

    As one element of the process undertaken by Premier, an engineering review
of the machine was to be performed. Mr. Harry Schmidt, president of Premier,
retained the services of Mr. Edward C. Kelly to perform said evaluation. In
February 1993, Kelly submitted the findings of his evaluation. Mr. Kelly's study
found the device failing to perform as anticipated and his review identified
significant and numerous mechanical and design problems. Mr. Kelly and Premier's
recommendation to prior management was that the existing machine should be
abandoned completely. The then current management of the Company decided to
abandon the original device. The Company then retained Premier Design to design
and develop a machine based on new and different technology. Kelly and Premier
began the process of designing a new machine in March 1993.

    Premier is a private company owned by Mr. Schmidt. Mr. Schmidt was
subsequently appointed to the Company's Board of Directors in May 1993, but did
not stand for reelection to the Board in September 1995. At the time of the
original Premier Agreement, neither Mr. Schmidt nor Mr. Kelly had any
affiliation with the Company. Edward C. Kelly joined the Company as Executive
Vice President in January 1994 and was subsequently appointed to the Company's
Board of Directors in February 1994. In June of 1994, he was named President of
the Company.

    In December 1994, having completed much of the design and development of the
new Machine, Premier and the Company amended the original manufacturing contract
(the "Premier Amendment"). The Premier Amendment described the terms under which
Premier would: (i) manufacture the first 10 beta models of the new machine and
(ii) begin manufacture of the production units.

                                       13
<PAGE>
    In July 1996, a U.S. patent was issued in Mr. Kelly's name for the Machine.
Mr. Kelly assigned the patent rights for the Machine to Premier based upon the
terms of the Premier Amendment and the express understanding between Premier,
the Company and Mr. Kelly (individually) that: (i) upon issuance, the patent
would be assigned 100% to Premier as consideration for the significant funds
expended by Premier in the development of the machine; (ii) Premier would
immediately assign the Company a 50% interest in the patent upon payment to
Premier by the Company of one-half of the total development costs.

    The Company's 50% share of the development costs were later determined to be
$650,000 (not including the $350,000 paid by the Company for the 10 prototype
machines). The current balance due Premier is $350,000, after $100,000 payments
in each of July 1996, July 1997 and January 1998. Premier will also receive $250
per Machine manufactured by a third party. Premier has agreed to accept 700,000
shares of our common stock in full payment of our obligation to them.

    In the Spring of 1996, the Company and Premier agreed that Premier would be
unable to manufacture the Machines under the terms of the Premier Amendment. On
June 17, 1996, the Company announced its intention to award the manufacturing
contract for the Machine to S&H Electronics of Robesonia, Pennsylvania ("S&H"),
an unaffiliated third party, and subsequently entered into a non-exclusive
manufacturing agreement with S&H for such purpose. S&H is a contract-
manufacturer which specializes in the assembly and testing of electromechanical
assemblies and equipment. The first 25 units will be produced by subcontract
manufacturers located in Ivyland, PA and Portsmouth, NH. Tasty Fries is also
considering a manufacturing facility in the State of New Hampshire.

    The Company completed the final stages of beta testing of its Machines in
the last quarter of the fiscal year ended January 31, 1996 and completed certain
modifications to and enhancements of the Machine based upon such tests.

PRE-PRODUCTION TOOLING

    The pre-production tooling stage for the machine is a critical element of
the process of getting the machine into commercial production. Consider that the
Tasty Fries device is comprised of approximately 3,100 individual parts. A
portion of these parts are basic, "off-the-shelf" manufacturing components such
as hardware, lighting and electrical components. However, approximately 75% of
the components are customized parts that require a subcontract supplier to
manufacture specifically for Tasty Fries. Because of the costs associated with
manufacturing these custom-designed parts, the most critical components have
been designed to be tooled, molded or cast by the various suppliers. While very
costly and time-consuming in the front-end of a project, the tooling of various
component parts will: (i) ensure the consistency and quality of the machine's
critical parts and (ii) greatly reduce the unit costs of both the individual
parts and the overall machine, as production volume increases. As with the
Company's overall business plan, the tooling process itself has been delayed
over the past 12-18 months due to the lack of capital available to complete the
process.

THE MACHINE

    The Machine is designed to produce quality, freshly-made French fries
utilizing a unique method that automatically converts a dehydrated potato
product into re-hydrated potato mix, delivers this mix into a proprietary
forming and cooking cycle, and finally into complete, high-quality, freshly-made
French fries. The potato product can be stored at room temperature, has a
shelf-life of between 12 and 24 months (depending on storage conditions),
requires no refrigeration or freezing, and occupies less storage space than
frozen fries, thereby offering greater storage capacity than competing
technologies which use frozen French fries. The French fries are delivered to
the consumer in a 4-ounce serving of 32 French fries. From the time currency is
deposited, the total vend time for an order of fries from the

                                       14
<PAGE>
final production model Machine is estimated to be approximately one and one-half
minutes (although the pre-production model's full cycle time is approximately
120 seconds). The utilization of a state-of-the-art combination of computer
driven mechanics makes this possible. Attached to the bottom of the vended cup
are individually prepackaged portions of ketchup and salt.

    The design of the Machine involves the use of a vegetable oil enabling the
process to deliver a cholesterol-free product. Each vend contains French fries
which are crisp and golden brown. The quality of the product is consistently
uniform in each vend. The Machine has the capacity to produce 500 vends before
any refill of potato product or other ingredient is required. The Machine is
computer-controlled and communicates with the consumer from the time the money
is deposited into it until the time the vended cup of fresh French fries is
delivered. The Machine can accept dollar bills, coins or any combination
thereof, depending on the vend charge, which can be changed at anytime by simply
reprogramming the currency mechanism.

    The Machine currently requires a 220-volt electrical connection (although
the Company plans for production models of the Machine to require a 110 volt
connection) and is equipped with modern computer technology using
microprocessors and sensors. If the machine operator desires, the Machine can
communicate with a central data base, via modem, to make available immediate
information on product levels, service issues or currency levels. The machine's
cash management program enables it to monitor the cash position at any time and
the amount of vends, which allows for spontaneous and immediate cash reporting
to the vending operator.

    The Machines have been designed to be repaired on-site without the necessity
of being returned to the manufacturer. It is anticipated that ongoing
maintenance will be limited, and the majority of an operator's labor
expenditures will involve the replenishment of products into the Machines. At
such time oil and water will be replaced and additional cups (with condiment
packages attached) will be restocked. Water will also be changed at such time
unless the Machine is directly attached to a plumbing supply, which is not
necessary for the Machine's operation. The frequency with which the Machine must
be restocked depends completely upon the number of vends dispensed daily.

THE POTATO PRODUCT

    The Company's proprietary Potato Product for use in the Machine was
developed in 1995 by a third party contractor. Management estimates that the
cost to establish a manufacturing line to produce the Potato Product is
significant. Due to the considerable costs involved and the current availability
of another potato product that is comparable with the Company's Potato Product
for use in the Machine, the Company does not currently intend to establish a
manufacturing line for the production of its own product. See "AVAILABILITY OF
RAW MATERIALS".

MARKETING

    The Company has historically marketed the Machines and the products
exclusively through territorial distributorships. The Company currently intends
to market its products in both domestic and international markets through a
combination of exclusive, territorial distributorships and traditional sales to
established companies in the vending industry. The Company may also own and
operate machines itself.

    The existing distributorship agreements vary from territory to territory,
but essentially require an up-front payment and minimum annual payments usually
over the life of the contract. Most distributors must also pay a specified sum
per Machine purchased as a credit toward the minimum annual payments. Most
distributorship agreements require a minimum number of Machines to be purchased
per year.

                                       15
<PAGE>
    The Company has, to date, sold or granted an aggregate of 15 territorial
distributorships. In the course of normal business, some of these
distributorships have been reacquired by the Company and others have been
terminated due to default on behalf of the distributor. There are currently 9
distributorships which have not been terminated or reacquired. The distributor's
obligations to make further payments, after tendering the initial deposit
required upon execution of the distributorship agreement, are conditioned on the
Company's ability to ship its Machines and related products. Management believes
that once commercial production of Machines is commenced and distributors
notified and required to place orders for Machines, some of such distributors
may be financially unable to do so or may simply elect not to purchase Machines
and effectuate their respective agreement.

    The Company has retained the services of Claridge Capital Corporation to
assist with the Marketing and Sales of the Machine. Claridge had been
instrumental in developing and maintaining the Company's web site (www.
tastyfries.com) and introducing the Company to the marketplace.

CALIFORNIA FOOD & VENDING, INC.

    In May 1991, the Company entered into a joint venture agreement with
California Food & Vending, Inc. ("CFV"), another vending and food service
company with a high interest in the research and development of a French fry
vending machine. The companies planned to work together in the manufacturing and
marketing of a French fry machine. Disputes arose between the parties,
litigation was instituted by CFV and in July 1999 the disputes were settled and
the litigation dismissed. Pursuant to the settlement agreement, the Company
regained its distributorship rights for the State of California; shall pay CFV
the sum of $1,000,000 (of which $130,000 has been paid); issue 250,000 shares of
its common stock to CFV; and CFV will receive $350 for each of the first 500
Machines produced and $450 thereafter and $.25 for each pound of Potato Product
sold by the Company.

LEASE FINANCING

    In September 1996, the Company entered into a vendor agreement (the "Vendor
Agreement") with Forrest Financial Corp., a leasing company, to provide lease
financing to distributors and others who may wish to lease Machines rather than
purchase them outright. The Vendor Agreement provides that up to $15 million
will be made available to qualified lessees for this purpose. The Company
believes that lease financing will be an important element of its strategic
plan, as leasing is a very prevalent financing structure used in the vending
industry. As of the date of this prospectus, no party has entered into an
agreement to lease the Machine.

COMPETITION

    The Company faces competition from other suppliers of French fries,
including fast food outlets. The Company is aware of other companies which have
test marketed French fry vending machines or are in the process of developing
such machines. Certain of the companies may be currently viewed as competitors
or which may become competitors in the future, have more capital and greater
resources than the Company. Currently, the Company is aware of at least three
competitors in the French fry vending machine business: Ore-Ida, TEGE and
Vendotech.

    Ore-Ida, a U.S.-based major manufacturer and distributor of frozen potato
products, has developed a machine that uses frozen, precut French fries which
are heated by a hot-air system. Ore-Ida has spent many years and considerable
capital in the development of their machine. They have been marketing their
machine domestically and abroad for a number of years. The Vendotech machine
also uses precut frozen fries, which it cooks in hot oil. Vendotech has a
marketing alliance with McCain's, a large Canadian potato producer who also owns
Ore-Ida. Because both the Ore-Ida machine and the Vendotech machine are based on
a premise of using frozen, precut fries, the Company believes that they are not
truly comparable technologies. In contrast the Company's Machine

                                       16
<PAGE>
cooks French fries which are not, and have never been frozen; rather, its French
fries are made fresh for every serving from dehydrated potatoes which are mixed
with water and cooked only when a vend is actually purchased.

    TEGE, a Swiss company, uses a dehydrated potato powder, which is used to
form French fries, which are then cooked in oil. TEGE has recently announced
that they have begun limited commercial production and have placed a number of
beta units on location in the United Kingdom. TEGE's current marketing strategy
is focused on four primary European markets.

    Management believes, although no assurances are given, that due to current
consumer demand for French fried potatoes, that there may be additional
competition in the future in the area of French fry vending.

AVAILABILITY OF RAW MATERIALS

    The raw materials or inputs used by the machine in the production of each
serving of fries are: potato product, cooking oil, water and serving cups (with
ketchup and salt packets attached to the bottom). Management believes that the
oil, condiments and serving cups used in the dispensing of French fries are
readily available from its current suppliers. In the event that one or more of
these materials were to be unavailable from a current supplier, the Company is
confident that comparable substitute products would be available from other
suppliers. The Company presently purchases its potato product from 2 unrelated
sources. The Company currently has no contract (exclusive or otherwise) or
licensing rights to purchase the potato product from any supplier. At such time
in the future as may be warranted by the success of the Company's business, the
Company may elect to enter into the production of its own proprietary potato
product or enter into contract manufacturing for same. See "POTATO PRODUCT."

PATENTS AND PROPRIETARY RIGHTS

    The Machine's inventor, Edward C. Kelly, President and Chief Executive
Officer of the Company, was issued a patent by the U.S. Patent and Trademark
office in July 1996. In addition, the Company is seeking, but has not yet
received, patent protection in Canada, Japan, Israel, Brazil and the European
Patent office (which currently represents 17 European countries).

    Management intends to seek patent, trademark and related legal protection in
the future where it deems the same to be beneficial. However, such legal
protections and precautions do not prevent third party development of
competitive products or technologies. There can be no assurance that the legal
precautions and other measures taken by the Company will be adequate to prevent
misappropriation of the Company's proprietary technology. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, the Company does not intend to be solely dependent upon patent
protection for any competitive advantage. The Company expects to rely on its
technological expertise and the early entry into the marketplace of its Products
to further enhance its position as a leader in the field and protect its
technologies.

GOVERNMENTAL APPROVALS AND REGULATIONS

    The Machine was designed and developed in consideration of applicable
governmental and industry rules and regulations. Management believes that the
Machine's design complies with National Sanitation Foundation ("NSF") guidelines
as well as Underwriter's Laboratory ("UL") standards. The Machine will receive
UL and NSF approvals prior to sale and installation. The Company has requested
that the Machine be inspected and expects to have the Machine inspected by
various regulatory agencies during the production process but prior to sale and
installation. In this regard, management has begun the process of obtaining UL
certification. The Company is also seeking certification from the National
Automatic Merchandising Association ("NAMA"). Management has been advised that
all certifications and approvals should be applied for upon commercial
production and would not issue

                                       17
<PAGE>
until such time. Management believes, although no assurance is given, that the
required approvals from UL, NAMA and the various regulatory agencies are
obtainable and is not currently aware of anything that will delay the necessary
approvals.

    Management is not aware of and does not believe that there are any
specifically applicable compliance requirements under state or federal
environmental or related laws relating to the manufacture and operation of the
machine.

RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT COSTS

    For the fiscal years ended January 31, 1999 and 1998, the Company incurred
$460,417 and $533,458, respectively, in costs and expenses relating to the
research and development of its machine.

PERSONNEL

    As of September 30, 1999 the Company had a total of 5 full-time employees.
Additional employees are expected to be hired during the next 12 months if the
company's proposed plan of operation is successful and there is sufficient cash
flow from operations, if any, which remains constant to support such additional
expense. If hired, such additional employees may include a director of
marketing, a chief financial officer, and sales and marketing personnel. At the
present time, management is unable to estimate how many employees will be needed
during the next 12 months.

PROPERTIES

    The Company owns no significant properties. Since June 1994 it has leased
executive office space at the premises located at 650 Sentry Parkway,
Suite One, Blue Bell, Pennsylvania 19422. The Company's current lease
commitments total approximately $2,085 per month until May, 2001. At the present
time, management believes that this office space is sufficient; however, the
Company may require additional space during the next 12 months.

LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

    On August 28, 1996, the Company, Edward C. Kelly and Premier Design, Ltd.,
were added as defendants to a civil lawsuit in the Riverside County Branch of
the Superior Court of the State of California brought by Prize Frize, Inc.,
William Bartfield and Larry Wirth. The suit also named as defendants
approximately 25 other parties, all allegedly involved, in some manner, in the
pursuit of the French fry vending machine concept and/or business. The case was
removed to Federal Court. The Company successfully moved for dismissal of the
claim on behalf of itself and Mr. Kelly; the case was dismissed on June 2, 1997.
On appeal the action was reinstated.

YEAR 2000 COMPLIANCE

    The Company utilizes software and related technologies which have been
programmed to recognize and properly process data fields containing a two digit
year and commonly referred to as Year 2000 Compliance issue. Management has
concluded that a material effect on the Company's financial condition is not
reasonably likely to occur as a result of Year 2000 issues. While the Company
has little communication with the systems of its vendors and suppliers, it
cannot measure the impact that the Year 2000 issue will have on such parties
with which it conducts business.

RECENT DEVELOPMENTS

    In November 1999, 5 investors purchased 6% convertible notes of the Company
in the principal amount of $250,000. In December 1999, holders of the notes
converted them into           shares of Common Stock.

*   The value of unexercised in-the-money options has been determined based on
    the fair market value of the common shares as determined by the Company's
    board of directors on the date of the option grant.

    COMPENSATION OF DIRECTORS.

    Directors are paid an annual fee of $10,000 plus reasonable expenses
commencing as of such date. Payments for the fiscal years ending January 31,
1999 and 1998 have been accrued on a pro rata basis each year and will be paid
when the Company is financially able to do so.

    EMPLOYMENT CONTRACTS AND TERMINATION OF EMPLOYMENT AND CHANGE IN CONTROL
     ARRANGEMENTS

    On October 1, 1994 the Company entered into an employment agreement with
Edward C. Kelly, its then President and Treasurer. The employment agreement was
for a three-year term commencing retroactively to October 1, 1993 and was
automatically renewable for additional one year terms after expiration on
September 30, 1996. The employment agreement was subsequently amended effective
May 1, 1995.

    INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS.

    The Company's Certificate of Incorporation provides we will indemnify our
officers and directors for monetary damages for any breach of fiduciary duty.
Notwithstanding the prior sentence, a director or officer shall be liable for
acts or omissions which involve intentional misconduct, fraud or a knowing
violation of law. We have been informed, that in the opinion of the U.S.
Securities and Exchange Commission, the indemnification of directors and
officers for liabilities arising under the Securities act of 1933, as amended
("Act"), is against public policy expressed by the Act and is therefore
unenforceable.

                              CERTAIN TRANSACTIONS

    In connection with the Subscription Agreement dated April 13, 1998 between
the Company and Lancaster Investment Corp., the Company granted Whetstone
Ventures, Inc. the right to name one of the five directors to the Board of
Directors of Tasty Fries, Inc. Together with a previous right of appointment
(from the April 1996 stock purchase agreement), Whetstone Ventures, Inc. may
appoint two members to the Board of Directors of Tasty Fries, Inc.

    Except as described in this Prospectus, there are no arrangements, known to
the Company, including any pledge by any person of securities of the Company,
the operation of which may at a subsequent date result in a change in control of
the Company.

    In the normal course of business, we have engaged Louis Kelly, son of Edward
C. Kelly, President, to render certain legal services to the Company. We believe
that the fees paid for these services were comparable to those which would have
been paid to an attorney with no relationship with an officer of the Company.

                           DESCRIPTION OF SECURITIES

THE COMPANY

    The authorized capital stock of the Company consists of 50,000,000 shares of
Common Stock, $.001 par value, of which 23,222,511 shares are issued and
outstanding as of July 31, 1999. The Company has also authorized for issuance
5,000,000 shares of preferred stock, $.001 par value (the "Preferred Stock"), of
which no shares are issued and outstanding as of the date hereof.

COMMON STOCK

    Each outstanding share of Common Stock is fully paid and non-assessable.
Holders of the Common Stock are entitled to one vote per share on each matter
submitted to a vote at any meeting of stockholders or consent in lieu thereof
under Nevada General Corporation Law. The Common Stock does not carry any
cumulative voting rights and, therefore, a majority of the outstanding Common
Stock will be able to elect the entire Board of Directors and, if they do so,
minority stockholders would not be able to elect any members to the Board of
Directors.

    The Common Stock is not subject to redemption and carries no preemptive,
subscription or conversion rights. In the event of liquidation of the Company,
the shares of Common Stock are entitled to share equally in corporate assets
after satisfaction of all liabilities. There are no outstanding options,
warrants or rights to purchase shares of the Company's Common Stock other than
as offered hereby and/or as referred to herein.

PREFERRED STOCK

    The relative rights, preferences, designations, rates, conditions,
privileges, limitations, dividend rates, conversion rights, preemptive rights
and terms of redemption, liquidation preferences and sinking terms thereof are
to be determined by the Board of Directors, without any further vote or action
by stockholders. The Board of Directors, without stockholder approval, may issue
Preferred Stock in such series as it determines, with dividend rights,
liquidation preferences or other rights that are superior to the rights of
holders of Common Stock. The issuance of one or more series of Preferred Stock
could adversely affect the voting power of the holders of the Common Stock and
could have the effect of discouraging or making more difficult any attempt by a
person or a group to attain control of the Company. See "RISK FACTORS--PREFERRED
STOCK AUTHORIZED FOR ISSUANCE".

                                       25
<PAGE>
WARRANTS

    As of January 31, 1999, the Company had 5,792,0052 warrants and options to
purchase common stock outstanding.

SHARES ELIGIBLE FOR FUTURE SALE

    As of July 31, 1999(assuming no exercise of options or warrants after that
date), there were 23,222,511 shares of common stock outstanding. Of these,
including the shares sold this offering,       are freely tradable without
restriction under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Act"). The
remaining      shares will be "restricted shares" as that term is defined in
Rule 144 ("Restricted Shares") of the Act, Restricted Shares may be sold in the
public market only if registered or if they qualify for an exemption from
registration under Rule 144 of the Act. Beginning 90 days from the date of this
Prospectus, approximately       shares will become eligible for sale in
compliance with Rule 144.

    In general, under the new provisions of Rule 144, a person (or persons whose
shares are aggregated) who has satisfied a one (1) year holding period may sell
in ordinary market transactions through a broker or with a market maker, within
any three (3) month period, a number of shares which does not exceed the greater
of one percent (1%) of the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock or the
average of the weekly trading volume of the Common Stock during the four
(4) calendar weeks prior to such sale. Sales under Rule 144 require the filing
of Form 144 with the Commission. If the shares of Common Stock have been held
for more than two (2) years by a person who is not an affiliate, there is no
limitation on the manner of sale or the volume of shares that may be sold and no
Form 144 is required. An "affiliate" of the Company is any person who directly
or indirectly controls, is controlled by or is under common control with, the
Company. Affiliates of the Company may include its directors, executive officers
and persons, directly or indirectly owning 10% or more of the outstanding Common
Stock. No prediction can be made as to the effect, if any, that sales of shares
of Common Stock or the availability of such shares for sale will have on the
market prices prevailing from time to time. Nevertheless, the possibility that
substantial amounts of Common Stock may be sold in the public market would
likely have a material adverse effect on prevailing market prices for the Common
Stock and could impair the Company's ability to raise capital through the sale
of its equity securities. See "RISK FACTORS--SHARES ELIGIBLE FOR FUTURE SALE"
and "PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION".

                              CONCURRENT OFFERING

    Concurrently with this Offering of 4,200,000 shares of Common Stock, the
Company is registering 2,300,000 of Common Stock for concurrent future sales by
the Selling Securityholders.

                                 TRANSFER AGENT

19003-2318; telephone number (610) 649-7300.

                              PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION

    This Offering is a "best-efforts" offering, and will not be underwritten nor
will any underwriter be engaged for the marketing, distribution or sale of any
shares registered hereby. We may sell shares from time to time in one or more
transactions directly by us or, alternatively, we may offer the shares through
dealer, brokers or agents, who may receive compensation in the form of
concession or commissions. Any dealers, brokers or agents that participate in
the distribution of shares may be deemed to be underwriters, and any profits on
the sale of the shares by them and any discounts or commissions received by any
such dealer, brokers or agents may be deemed to be underwriting discounts and
commission under the Act.

                              FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
              FOR THE YEARS ENDED JANUARY 31, 1999, 1998 AND 1997

                          INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT

To the Board of Directors and Stockholders
of Tasty Fries, Inc.

We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of Tasty Fries, Inc. (a
development stage company) (formerly Adelaide Holdings, Inc.) as of January 31,
1999 and 1998, and the related statements of operations, stockholder's equity
(deficiency), and cash flows for the years ended January 31, 1999, 1998 and 1997
and for the period from October 18, 1985 (inception) to January 31, 1999. These
financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our
responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on
our 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 financial statements are free of material
misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes
assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by
management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.
We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in
all material respects, the financial position of Tasty Fries, Inc. as of
January 31, 1999 and 1998, and the results of its operations and its cash flows
for the years ended January 31, 1999, 1998 and 1997 and from October 18, 1985
(inception) to January 31, 1999, in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles.

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the
Company will continue as a going concern. As shown in the financial statements,
the Company has incurred net losses since its inception and has experienced
liquidity problems. Unless the Company can continue to obtain financing from the
issuance of common stock and/or through loans, substantial doubt arises about
the Company's ability to continue as a going concern (Note 1). The financial
statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of
this uncertainty.

                         NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

                        JANUARY 31, 1999, 1998 AND 1997

1. DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS:

    The Company is a development stage company since it has not completed
designing, testing, and manufacturing its sole product, a vending machine that
will cook and dispense french fries. The Company has incurred research and
development costs from inception to January 31, 1999 totaling $2,334,932. The
Company has received ten pre-production prototype machines primarily used for
demonstrative and sales purposes, and it is anticipated that each machine can be
sold for approximately $9,000. The Company is currently in the process of
producing its first 25 machines, which are in process and included in vending
machines at $125,000. The difference between the anticipated selling price and
the cost to obtain the machines has been charged to research, machine and
product development costs. From the corporation's date of inception,
October 18, 1985, to date it has engaged in various business activities that
were unprofitable. The Company had no significant revenues from operations from
the sale of its french fry vending machine since inception and its ability to
continue as a going concern is dependent on the continuation of financing to
fund the expenses relating to successfully manufacturing and marketing the
vending machine. Management is currently in negotiations with several funding
sources to provide the working capital necessary to: (i) begin commercial
production of the machines, and (ii) bring them to market, at which time the
Company believes that sufficient cash will be generated to support its
operations. Although management cannot assure the ultimate success of the above
plan, it is reasonably confident that it will enable the Company to continue its
business and grow modestly.

2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:

    Property and equipment:

    Property and equipment are carried at cost. Depreciation is calculated using
the straight-line method over their estimated useful lives ranging from 3 to
7 years. Depreciation expense for January 31, 1999, 1998 and 1997 was $11,805,
$9,522, and $7,239, respectively. Depreciation expense for the six months ended
July 31, 1999 and 1998 was $6,678 and $5,902, respectively.

    Intangibles:

    Intangibles, consisting of loan costs, are being amortized on a
straight-line basis over three years.

    Research, machine and product development:

    Research and development costs consist of expenditures incurred by the
Company during the course of planned search and investigation aimed at the
discovery of new knowledge which will be used to develop and test a vending
machine and potato product for the formation of french fries. Research and
development costs also include costs for significant enhancements or
improvements to the machine and/or potato product. The Company expenses all such
research and development costs as they are incurred.

    Unearned revenue:

    Represents monies received for distribution rights of the vending machines,
which the Company is still in the process of developing and testing. The Company
records these monies as unearned revenue upon receipt. These deferrals will be
recognized as income over the life of the machine upon commercial production of
machines or upon forfeiture by distributors as a result of breach of contract.

                                      F-6

                         (A DEVELOPMENT STAGE COMPANY)

                   NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)

                        JANUARY 31, 1999, 1998 AND 1997

2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES: (CONTINUED)

Since commercial production of the machine has not commenced, the unearned
revenue is classified as a non-current liability.

    Use of estimates:

    The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and
assumptions that affect the amount reported in its financial statements and
accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

    Concentration of credit risk:

    The Company occasionally maintains deposits in excess of federally insured
limits. The risk is managed by maintaining all deposits in high quality
financial institutions.

    Earnings per share:

    In March 1997, the FASB issued SFAS No. 128, EARNINGS PER SHARE. The
statement requires the Company to disclose both basic earnings per share and
diluted earnings per share for annual and interim periods ending after
December 15, 1997. Basic net income per share is based on the weighted average
number of common shares outstanding, while diluted net income per share is based
on the weighted average number of common shares and common share equivalents
that would arise from the exercise of options and warrants or conversion of
convertible securities. The Company incurred losses from operations in 1999,
1998 and 1997; therefore, basic and diluted earnings per share have been
computed in the same manner since the exercise of warrants and the conversion of
the convertible notes payable would be antidilutive.

3. VENDING MACHINES:

    Vending machines are carried at the lower of cost or market. During the year
ended January 31, 1995, the Company paid to Premier, $246,600, for the
production of ten preproduction machines. In the year ended January 31, 1995,
the Company charged $176,600 to research and development expense.

    During the year ended January 31, 1999, the Company paid various third
parties $264,782 for the production of the first 25 commercial machines. Of the
amount paid, the Company charges $139,782 to research and development expense.

4. LOANS RECEIVABLE, OFFICERS:

    In May 1995, an officer borrowed $50,000 from the Company. The loan was
repaid, along with interest at 10% per annum, in accordance with a payment plan
over the current and past fiscal years. The balance due the Company at
January 31, 1999 and 1998 was $--0- and $24,747, respectively.

    In August, 1996, another officer borrowed $50,000 from the Company. This
loan was repaid, along with interest at 10% per annum, in accordance with a
payment plan over the current and past fiscal years. The balance due the Company
at January 31, 1999 and 1998 was $--0- and $5,630, respectively.

                   NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)

                        JANUARY 31, 1999, 1998 AND 1997

5. NOTES PAYABLE:

    An unsecured note from a shareholder, which bears interest at the rate of 8%
per annum, was due June 4, 1993 but was extended indefinitely. The Company
issued to the noteholder, options for 400,000 pre-split shares of its common
stock on December 22, 1994, with an exercise price of $.35 per share. The
Company issued 180,000 and 90,000 pre-split shares of its common stock on
December 22, 1994 and May 4, 1995, respectively, to the noteholder in addition
to paying $30,600 on May 5, 1995. This payment of $30,600 on May 5, 1995
includes a principal payment of $25,000 and interest covering the period June,
1992 to March, 1995 in the amount of $5,600. The 180,000 and 90,000 pre-split
shares were issued as consideration for indefinitely extending the repayment and
recorded as a financing expense, which is included in selling, general and
administrative expense. In October, 1997, the Company issued 90,547 post-split
shares of its common stock in satisfaction of this debt, including interest. The
balance at January 31, 1998 was $0.

    In November, 1996, an unrelated third party advanced the Company $35,000.
This advance bears no interest and repayment is due on demand. The Company
repaid $20,000 in March, 1997; $7,000 in May, 1997; and $8,000 in June, 1997.

    In March 1997, the Company received $282,000 in proceeds from loans made to
the Company by nine individuals, including two directors of the Company (one of
whom is also an officer). The principal and interest due was repaid to these
individuals in the form of restricted stock in October 1997. The total number of
post-split shares issued was 482,044.

6. NOTE PAYABLE, OFFICER/DIRECTOR:

    Represents the unsecured note from a former officer/director of the Company,
which bears interest at the rate of 8% per annum and is due and payable on
demand. The Company reduced this note to $50,000 with a principal payment of
$79,947 on May 1, 1995. In addition to the principal payment on May 1, 1995, the

11. LITIGATION:

CALIFORNIA FOOD AND VENDING LITIGATION

    On August 17, 1998, California Food and Vending, Inc. ("CFV") filed a
multi-count lawsuit in the United States District Court for the Central District
of California against the Company. CFV asserted, in essence that Tasty Fries and
its Chief Executive Officer, Edward C. Kelly breached the terms of the
settlement reached with it in the prior litigation by failing to sell
distributorships, failing to accede to CFV's to maintain its option at the
pre-reverse split level notwithstanding the fact that the Company's stock went
through a reverse split after the settlement and misrepresenting the Company's
condition at the time of the settlement. CFV's First Amended Complaint was
dismissed with leave to amend only some of the counts. It is the opinion of the
Company's counsel that CFV's law suit lacks merit and that the Company will
prevail.

    In February, 1995, the Company reached a settlement agreement with CFV,
which supersedes an arbitration award from October 1994 granted in CFV's favor
that resulted from an agreement between the two parties. In addition to a
one-time cash payment, the settlement agreement provides for: (i) payment to CFV
of a royalty per machine sold consisting of $350 per machine for the first 500
machines sold and 35% of the gross profit for machines sold thereafter, up to a
limit of $500 per machine; (ii) payment to CFV of a royalty consisting of $.25
for each pound of potato product sold; (iii) issuance of an option to CFV for
the purchase of 100,000 shares of the Company's common stock at an exercise
price of $2.00 per share through February 1, 1999; and (iv) CFV shall receive an
aggregate of $2,000,000 payable from 50% of all domestic and international gross
distribution fees until paid in full and thereafter 25% of all international
distribution fees. The royalties, fees, and profits payable in the future to CFV
could become material, but there is no way to assign a dollar figure to this
payable since it will be based on future Company sales. These royalties will be
expensed by the Company when incurred.

PRIZE FRIES LITIGATION--DISMISSED, ON APPEAL

    On August 28, 1996, the Company, Edward C. Kelly and Premier Design, Ltd.,
were added as defendants to a civil law suit in the Riverside County Branch of
the Superior Court of the State of California brought by Prize Fries, Inc.,
William Bartfield and Larry Wirth. The suit also named as defendants
approximately 25 other parties, all allegedly involved, in some manner, in the
pursuit of the french fry vending machine concept and/or business. The case was
removed to Federal Court. The Company successfully moved for dismissal of the
claim on behalf of itself and Mr. Kelly; the case was dismissed on June 2, 1997.
The plaintiffs are appealing the dismissal.

12. COMMON STOCK OPTION PLAN:

    The Company adopted incentive and nonqualified stock option plans for
employees effective as of September 18, 1995. The plan also provides for stock
options to be issued to non-employee directors based upon a formula set forth in
the document. The incentive stock option plan is intended to qualify under
Section 422 of the Internal Revenue Code. Under the terms of the plan, options
to purchase common stock are granted at not less than the estimated fair market
value at the date of the grant and are exercisable during specified future
periods. There were no options granted as of January 31, 1999, 1998 or 1997 to
any executive officers, but non-employee directors received options as of
January 31, 1997 to purchase an aggregate of 12,926 shares of common stock, at
an exercise price of $2.45 per share.

    Adoption of SFAS 123 by the Company would require an expense of $30,000 in
1997 as director's fees to be accrued for the 12,246 options at the fair value
of $2.45 on grant date.

13. PREFERRED STOCK:

    On July 29, 1991, the Board of Directors authorized 5,000,000 shares of
preferred stock at a par value of $.001 per share. No shares of preferred stock
were issued as of January 31, 1999, 1998, and 1997, respectively.

14. OPTIONS AND WARRANTS ISSUED AND OUTSTANDING:

    As of January 31, 1999 and 1998, the Company had 5,792,052 and 4,292,052
warrants and options, respectively, to purchase common stock outstanding.

15. APRIL 1998 FINANCING:

    In April 1998, the Company entered into an agreement to receive $1,500,000
in proceeds from the sale of restricted stock to a U.S. corporation. The Company
issued 3,000,000 shares of common stock as consideration for the investment. The
Company also issued warrants to purchase 1,500,000 shares of common stock at an
exercise price of $1.90; the warrants expire April 12, 2001. The Company also
issued 150,000 shares of restricted stock as a commission on the transaction.
The Company and the investor have entered into an escrow agreement for this
transaction and all of the shares were issued into escrow, pending funding. As
of January 31, 1999, $800,000 of the $1,500,000 in proceeds has been received by
the Company and 1,600,000 of the 3,000,000 shares of restricted common stock
held in escrow have been released to the investor. The balance of funds due is
anticipated to be received by January 31, 2000.

PROSPECTUS

                               TASTY FRIES, INC.

Securityholders"). The Company will not receive any proceeds from the sale of
the shares by the Selling Securityholders.

    Shares may be offered by Selling Securityholders from time to time in
transactions (which may include block transactions) in the over-the-counter
market, in negotiated transactions, or a combination of such methods of sale, at
fixed prices which may be changed, at market prices prevailing at a time of
sale, or at negotiated prices. The Selling Securityholders may effect such
transactions by selling shares directly to purchasers or through broker dealers
who may act as agents or principals. Such broker dealers may receive
compensation in the form of discounts, concessions or commission from the
Selling Securityholders and/or the purchasers of the Selling Securityholders'
shares for whom they may sell as principals or both (which compensation as to a
particular broker dealer might be in excess of customary commissions).

    The Securities Act of 1933, as amended may impose liability on Selling
Securityholders or any broker/dealer who may be used by the Selling
Securityholders for violations of federal securities laws. If the registration
statement contains untrue statements or omissions of material facts, liability
may be imposed on the Selling Securityholders or any broker/dealer used by the
Selling Security Holder and/or the broker/dealer.

    On the date of this Prospectus, a registration statement under the

of 4,200,000 shares of Common Stock was declared effective by the Securities and
Exchange Commission.

reported on the OTC Bulletin Board was $     .

    THE SECURITIES OFFERED IN THIS PROSPECTUS INVOLVE A HIGH DEGREE OF RISK. YOU

BEGINNING ON PAGE 5 OF THE PROSPECTUS.

    Neither the Securities and Exchange Commission nor any state securities

               SELLING SECURITY HOLDERS AND PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION

            shares of Common Stock are being registered by this Prospectus on
behalf of the beneficial owners thereof.         shares of Common Stock was
issued to Premier in satisfaction of the Company's obligation to Premier in
December, 1999 to fund 50% of the development costs for the machine. Upon
delivery of the shares to Premier, the Company received a 50% interest in the
patent protecting the Machine.         shares were issued to         investors
in connection with the conversion of convertible notes issued to the investors
in November, 1999. The Company has agreed to bear all expenses (other than
underwriting or selling expenses), in connection with the registration of the
shares.

    The Selling Securityholders have advised the Company that sales of the
Common Stock may be effected from time to time by themselves in transactions in
the over-the-counter market, in negotiated transactions or a combination of such
methods of sale, at fixed prices that may be changed, at market prices
prevailing at the time of sale, or negotiated prices. The Selling
Securityholders may effect such transaction by selling Common Stock directly to
purchasers or through broker-dealers that may act as agents or principals. Such
broker-dealers may receive compensation in the form of discounts, concession or
commissions from the Selling Securityholders or the purchasers of the shares of
Common Stock for whom such broker-dealers may act as agents or to whom they sell
as principles, or both (which compensation as to a particular broker-dealer must
be in excess of customary commissions).

    The Selling Securityholders, and any broker-dealers that act in connection
with the sale of the shares of Common Stock as principals may be deemed to be
"underwriters" within the meaning of Section 2(11) of the Securities Act and any
commission received by them and any profit on the resale of the shares of Common
Stock as principals might be deemed to be underwriting discounts and commissions
under the Securities Act. The Selling Securityholders may agree to indemnify any
agent, dealer or broker-dealer that participates in transactions involving sales
of the shares of Common Stock against certain liabilities, including liabilities
arising under the Securities Act. Sales of shares of Common Stock by the Selling
Securityholders, or even the potential of such sales, would likely have an
adverse effect on the market price of the Common Stock.

    We are registering the shares of Common Stock offered in this Prospectus
with the Securities and Exchange Commission to permit secondary trading. As a
result, the Selling Securityholders may offer all or part of the shares for
resale to the public at any time. The Company will not receive any proceeds from
the sale of shares by the Selling Securityholders.

    The following table sets forth as of the date hereof certain information
with respect to the persons for whom the Company is registering the shares. None
of the persons has held any position or office with the Company within the past
three years, other than Christopher Plunkett who resigned as Executive Vice
President in June of 1998.

                     INFORMATION NOT REQUIRED IN PROSPECTUS

ITEM 24. INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS.

    Article XVI of the Company's Articles of Incorporation, as amended, provides
that no director or officer shall be liable to the Company or its stockholders
for monetary damages for any breach of fiduciary duty by such person as a
director or officer. Notwithstanding the foregoing sentence, a director or
officer shall be liable to the extent provided by applicable law, (i) for acts
or omissions which involve intentional misconduct, fraud or a knowing violation
of law, or (ii) for the payment of dividends in violation of Section 78.300 of
the Nevada General Corporation Law ("NRS"). The provisions hereof shall not
apply to or have any effect on the liability of any officer or director of the
Company for or with respect to any acts or omissions of such person occurring
prior to such amendment on July 29, 1991.

    The NRS provide for indemnification where a person who was or is a party or
is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or contemplated
action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or
investigative (other than action by or in right of a corporation), by reason of
fact he is or was a Director, Officer, employee or agent of a corporation or
serving another corporation at the request of the corporation, against expenses
(including attorneys' fees), judgments, fines, and amounts paid in settlement,
actually and reasonably incurred by him if he acted in good faith and in a
manner he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interest of
the corporation and, with respect to criminal action or proceeding, had no
reasonable cause to believe his conduct unlawful. Lack of good faith is not
presumed from settlement or nolo contendere plea. Indemnification of expenses
(including attorneys' fees) allowed in derivative actions except in the case of
misconduct in performance of duty to the corporation unless the Court decides
indemnification is proper. To the extent any such person succeeds on the merits
or otherwise, he shall be indemnified against expenses (including attorneys'
fees). Determination that the person to be indemnified met applicable standards
of conduct, if not made by the Court, is made by the Board of Directors by
majority vote of a quorum consisting of the Directors not party to such action,
suit or proceeding or, if a quorum is not obtainable or a disinterested quorum
so directs, by independent legal counsel or by the stockholders. Expenses may be
paid in advance upon receipt of undertakings to repay unless it shall ultimately
be determined that he is entitled to be indemnified by the corporation. The
Corporation may purchase indemnity insurance.

    Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act
of 1933, as amended (the "Act") may be permitted to directors, officers or
persons controlling the Company pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or
otherwise, the Company has been informed 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
Company of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling
person of the Company 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 Company 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.
