Report to Shareholders
The Corporation furnishes its stockholders with annual
reports containing consolidated financial statements that have
been examined and reported upon, with an opinion expressed by
independent certified public accountants, and quarterly reports
containing unaudited summaries of financial information for the
first three quarters of each fiscal year.
No dealer, salesman or other person has been authorized to
give any information or to make any representations other than
those contained in this Prospectus, and, if given or made, such
information or representation must not be relied upon as having
been authorized by the Corporation. This Prospectus does not
constitute an offer or solicitation by anyone in any state in
which such offer or solicitation is not authorized, or in which
the person making such offer or solicitation is not qualified to
do so, or to any person whom it is unlawful to make such offer
or solicitation. The delivery of this Prospectus at any time
does not imply that information herein is correct as of any time
subsequent to the date hereof.
The date of this Prospectus is September 11, 1998.
Risk Factors
The securities being offered hereby involve a high degree
of risk. Prior to making an investment, prospective investors
should carefully consider the following factors inherent in and
affecting an investment in the Corporation and this offering.
Operating History
The Corporation as of the date hereof, conducts virtually
no business operations, other than its efforts to seek merger or
acquisition candidates. On December 31, 1996, the Corporation
underwent a change of control. As of January 31, 1997, new
management has sold all of the Corporation's operating
subsidiaries. As a result, the Corporation has no business
history that investors can analyze to aid them in making an
informed judgment as to the merits of an investment in the
Corporation. As of the date of this Prospectus, the Corporation
has entered into a definitive arrangement to reorganize with
Southern Finance and Development Banking Corp., a privately held
corporation. Certain conditions outside the Corporation's
control must occur for this transaction to close. No assurances
can be made this transaction will close.
Shell Corporation
The Corporation does not have any specific business
operations, therefor, an investment in the shares involves an
extremely high degree of risk. The Corporation's present
<PAGE>
business is to search for merger or acquisition candidates. As
of the date of this Prospectus, the Corporation has entered into
a definitive arrangement to reorganize with Southern Finance and
Development Banking Corp., a privately held corporation.
Certain conditions outside the Corporation's control must occur
for this transaction to close. No assurances can be made this
transaction will close. Investors in the Corporation have no
control over the decision making relating to such. Shareholders
will be unable to pass upon the merits of this or any other
transaction that the Corporation may ultimately make. Also, the
Corporation cannot estimate the time that it may take for this
or any other transaction to occur. Such a search may be time
consuming and such potential delays should be considered by
investors prior to the purchase of any stock in this offering.
Dependence on Officers and Directors
The Corporation is presently dependent upon its officers
and directors and their efforts to seek merger or acquisition
candidates. In the event the Corporation should lose the
services of any of these officers or directors, the Corporation
could be adversely affected.
Conflicts of Interest
The officers and directors of the Corporation may engage in
other business activities similar and dissimilar to those
engaged in by the Corporation. To the extent that such persons
engage in such other activities, they will have possible
conflicts of interest in diverting opportunities to other
companies, entities or persons with which they are or may be
associated or have an interest, rather than diverting such
opportunities to the Corporation. Such potential conflicts of
interest include, among other things, time, effort and corporate
opportunity involved in their participation in other business
transactions. As no policy has been established for the
resolution of such a conflict, the Corporation may be adversely
affected should such officers or directors choose to place their
other business interests before those of the Corporation. No
assurance can be given that such potential conflicts of interest
will not cause the Corporation to lose potential opportunities.
Possible Issuance of Additional Shares
The Corporation's Board of Directors has the power to issue any
or all of such additional shares without shareholder approval.
Management presently anticipates that it will issue additional
shares to reorganize with Southern Finance and Development
Banking Corp., if such reorganization occurs. Potential
investors should be aware that any such stock issuances may
result in a reduction of book value or market price, if any, of
the outstanding shares. If the Corporation issues any
additional shares of Common Stock, such issuance will reduce the
proportionate ownership and voting power of each shareholder.
Further, any new issuance of shares will likely result in a
change of control of the Corporation.
Possible Change in Control and Management
The successful completion of the reorganization with
Southern Finance and Development Banking Corp. will likely
result in a change of control of the Corporation. This will
result from the issuance of a large percentage of the
Corporation's authorized Common Stock. Any such change in
<PAGE>
control may also result in the resignation or removal of the
Corporation's present officers and directors. If there is a
change in management, no assurance can be given as to the
experience or qualification of such persons, either in the
operation of the Corporation's activities or in the operation of
the business, assets or property being acquired.
Intense Competition
Numerous companies and individuals are engaged in the
business of searching for and acquiring assets and businesses,
and such business activity is intensely competitive. Many of the
Corporation's competitors will have vastly greater resources,
personnel, technical know-how, and financial capacity than the
Corporation. Accordingly, there can be no assurance that the
Corporation will be able to effectively compete with its many
competitors.
Taxation
In the course of any acquisition or merger the Corporation
may undertake, a substantial amount of attention will be focused
upon federal and state tax consequences to both the Corporation
and the "target" company. Presently, under the provisions of
federal and various state tax laws, a qualified reorganization
between business entities will generally result in tax-free
treatment to the parties to the reorganization. While the
Corporation expects to undertake any merger or acquisition so as
to minimize federal and state tax consequences to both the
Corporation and the "target" company, there is no assurance that
such business combination will meet the statutory requirements
of a reorganization or that the parties will obtain the intended
tax-free treatment upon a transfer of stock or assets. A
non-qualifying reorganization could result in the imposition of
both federal and state taxes which may have a substantial
adverse effect on the Corporation.
Over-The-Counter Trading Market
Presently, the Corporation trades its Common Stock in the
over-the-counter trading market, which is a less liquid market
than the higher volume stock exchanges. Therefore, purchasers
of the Corporation's Common Stock may experience difficulty in
selling their shares, and therefore may be unable to readily
liquidate their investment in the Common Stock.
Lack of Dividends
To date, the Corporation has not paid any dividends on its
Common Stock, and does not foresee paying any dividends in the
near future. There can be no assurance that the Corporation's
financial condition will ever permit the payment of dividends.

Description of Common Stock
The Corporation is authorized to issue 20,000,000 shares of
Common Stock, no par value. Each share of Common Stock is
entitled to share pro rata in dividends and distributions, if
any, with respect to the Common Stock, when and if declared by
the Board of Directors, from funds legally available therefor.
No holder of any shares of Common Stock has any preemptive or
similar right to subscribe for any securities of the
Corporation. Upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the
Corporation and after payment of creditors, the assets will be
divided pro rata on a share-for-share basis among the holders of
the shares of Common Stock. All shares of Common Stock have
equal voting rights and have one vote per share in all matters
to be voted upon by the shareholders, except cumulative voting
is permitted for the election of directors.
Interests of Named Experts and Counsel.
Experts
The audited financial statements and schedules incorporated
by reference from the Corporation's Form 10-KSB for the fiscal
year ended December 31, 1997 and incorporated herein by
reference were examined and reported upon by independent
certified public accountants. Such financial statements are
incorporated herein in reliance upon the report of that firm and
upon their authority as experts in accounting and auditing.
Indemnification of Officers and Directors
Section 1741 of the Pennsylvania Business Corporation
Statutes provides Pennsylvania business corporations the power,
unless otherwise restricted in its bylaws, to indemnify any
person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party
to any threatened, pending or completed action or proceeding,
whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (other
than an action by or in the right of the corporation), by reason
of the fact that he was a representative of the corporation, or
<PAGE>
is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a
representative of another domestic or foreign corporation for
profit or not-for-profit, partnership, joint venture, trust or
other enterprise, against expenses (including attorneys' fees),
judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and
reasonably incurred by him in connection with the action or
proceeding if he acted in good faith and in a manner he
reasonably believed to be in, or not opposed to, the best
interests of the corporation and, with respect to any criminal
proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe his conduct was
unlawful. The termination of any action or proceeding by
judgment, order, settlement or conviction or upon a plea of nolo
contendere or its equivalent shall not of itself create a
presumption that the person did not act in good faith and in a
manner that he reasonably believed to be in, or not opposed to,
the best interests of the corporation and, with respect to any
criminal proceeding, had reasonable cause to believe that his
conduct was unlawful.
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under
the Securities Act may be permitted to directors and officers or
persons controlling the registrant pursuant to the foregoing
provisions, or otherwise, the registrant has been informed that
in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission, such
indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the
Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event
that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other
than the payment by the registrant of expenses incurred or paid
by a director, officer or controlling person of the registrant
in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is
asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in
connection with the securities being registered, the registrant
will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been
settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of
appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such
indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in
the Securities Act and will be governed by the final
adjudication of such issue.
