PART I
Item 1. Business
E'Prime Aerospace Corporation and Subsidiaries (EPAC or the Company) was
established in February, 1987, to capitalize on the worldwide demand for
commercial satellite launching services.
In October, 1987, an agreement was signed with the United States Air Force
(USAF) which provided EPAC the use of technology based on the Peacekeeper
solid fuel missile system. As a result of this agreement, EPAC began the
development of the Eagle Series of launch vehicles. Eagle launch vehicles
are based on a modular design of solid propellant booster stages and a
bi-propellant liquid upper stage.
In early 1990, the Peacekeeper first stage motor was included in the
Strategic Arms Reduction Treaty (START) which was signed by both the
governments of the United States and the former Soviet Union. Accordingly,
pursuant to the execution of this treaty, the Company was severely restricted
in producing EPAC's first stage motor. For nine years, EPAC's development
concentrated on redesign, new technologies and the preservation of the
technology developed during the Peacekeeper program.
In 1998, using Peacekeeper baseline technology, EPAC's improved design
changes, and development of it's ESM-9 first stage motor in a 100% commercial
environment, eliminated the ESM-9 from the START Treaty.
EPAC is marketing a range of launch vehicles with payload capabilities from
small communications satellites up to large multipurpose satellites of
20,000 pounds into a geosynchronous earth orbit. Light to medium lift
single core vehicles will be launched from a launch tube which propels the
rocket some 200 feet into the air before the first stage is ignited. This
"cold launch" method increases the payload capability by approximately 10% and
prevents costly refurbishment to the launch facility. Flight hardware for the
Eagle Series launch vehicles will be produced by many of the same companies
that were responsible for the manufacture and supply of materials for the
Peacekeeper. By utilizing the experience of these suppliers, the track record
of reliability experienced during the Peacekeeper missile system program
will be carried forward into a commercial application.
EPAC has succeeded in evolving the technology of the Peacekeeper ICBM into
a commercial launch vehicle. Based on developments completed through February,
1999, EPAC is now proceeding with finance and contract negotiations. While
substantial additional capital is needed for the construction of commercial
launch facilities, management is confident in achieving this financial
objective. Although EPAC has met its vehicle objective, a time-frame for the
Company to establish profitable operations cannot be determined at this time.
Over the past several years, other companies have developed a range of
launch vehicles corresponding to the demand for commercial launch services.
The Company currently considers its principal competitors to be Arianespace
(Ariane), Lockheed Martin (Atlas, LLV), Boeing (Delta), Orbital Science
(Taurus), China (Longmarch) and several Russian programs.
As of September 30, 1998, the company had 5 full time employees.
<PAGE> 4
Item 2. Properties
The Company leases its corporate office of approximately 3,000 square feet in
Titusville, FL and occupies approximately 12,000 square feet of warehouse
space in Memphis, TN.
Substantially all of the development of the Company's launch technology as
well as management of overall operations is based in the corporate offices.
The space in Memphis is used primarily to warehouse EPAC launch hardware and
support equipment and will provide support during testing of the Company's
launch vehicle.
During the year ended September 30, 1993, the Company purchased certain
launch and support equipment from an agency of the United States government.
As a result of this purchase, a substantial amount of additional and related
equipment was transferred to EPAC. These acquisitions represent savings
of millions of dollars of non-recurring start-up costs. Most of the equipment
received, which is located at various facilities in the United States,
consists of the following:
Missile system hardware
Support equipment including computer hardware, electronic consoles and
launch vehicle transportation and handling equipment
Specialized tooling associated with missile system hardware
Most of the equipment acquired was primarily associated with the United
States' government Peacekeeper missile system. EPAC has incorporated the
Peacekeeper technology into the research and development of its launch systems
as more fully discussed in Item 1 of this filing.
The Company is currently negotiating the construction of launch facilities
at Kodiak, Alaska, Kennedy Space Center, Florida and a near equatorial
launch site.
Item 3. Legal Proceedings
The Company has been subject to legal proceedings and claims which have arisen
in the ordinary course of business. These claims have not and are not expected
to have a material effect on the financial position of the Company.
Item 4. Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders

Item 7. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
Results of Operations
Liquidity and capital resources
As indicated herein, the Company has expended substantial funds in the
development of its business over the past several years. Sources of capital
during this time have included stock sales, advances from shareholders and
short term funding from Coleman Research Corporation and the Eckler Investor
Group. As of September 30, 1998, the Company has a working capital deficit of
$6,891,609.
In order to complete its development and reach full operational capability
and, in order to satisfy existing liabilities, the Company will need to
obtain substantial additional capital. Management is currently engaged in
negotiations to secure the necessary funds to complete implementation of its
launch technology, repay existing liabilities and fund facility construction. In
addition, the Company is concluding the development of a its marketing
strategy (www.eprimeaerospace.com) and establishing a launching schedule.
Results of Operations
Since its inception, the Company has been in the development stage. Accordingly,
the Company has not generated any revenues from operations and has not
projected significant revenues until its development stage is completed and
financing can be obtained for its operations. Through the year ended September
30, 1998, the Company has incurred an accumulated deficit of $13,564,245.
Since its inception, the Company has expended approximately 48% and 26% of its
general and administrative expenses for salaries and wages and interest and
financing fees, respectively. Expenditures related to salaries and wages have
been incurred principally in the development of the Company's launch
technology systems.

Independent Auditors' Report
----------------------------
The Shareholders and Board of Directors
E'Prime Aerospace Corporation:
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of E'Prime
Aerospace Corporation and subsidiaries (a development stage company) as of
September 30, 1998, 1997, 1996 and 1995, and the related consolidated
statements of operations, stockholders' deficit and cash flows for each of
the years in the four-year period ended September 30, 1998 and for the
cumulative development stage from February 20, 1987 (inception) to
September 30, 1998. These consolidated financial statements are the
responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express
an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to
obtain reasonable assurance about whether the 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 consolidated financial statements referred to above
present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of E'Prime
Aerospace Corporation and subsidiaries at September 30, 1998, 1997, 1996 and
1995, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of
the years in the four-year period ended September 30, 1998 and for the
cumulative development stage from February 20, 1987 (inception) to September
30, 1998, in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared
assuming that E'Prime Aerospace Corporation and subsidiaries will continue
as a going concern. As discussed in notes 1 and 8 to the consolidated financial
statements, the Company's cumulative losses during the development period,
the net capital deficiency and the need to obtain substantial additional
funding to complete its development raises substantial doubt about the
entity's ability to continue as a going concern. Management's plans and
intentions with regard to these matters are discussed in note 8. The
consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might
result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

E'PRIME AEROSPACE CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
(A Development Stage Company)
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
(1) Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
(a) Corporate Organization
E'Prime Aerospace Corporation (the Company or EPAC) has been in the
development stage since its incorporation in Florida on February 20,
1987. The Company is engaged in seeking to provide a reliable and
comprehensive payload and satellite launching service to industry and
government, both domestic and foreign.
As noted, the Company is in its development stage and has expended a
substantial amount of funds to date. At September 30, 1998, the Company
has a stockholder's deficit of $ 6,644,492. The Company needs substantial
additional capital to complete its development and to reach an operating
stage.
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared
assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern, and therefore,
will recover the reported amount of its assets and satisfy its liabilities
on a timely basis in the normal course of its operations. See note 8 to the
consolidated financial statements for a discussion of management's plans and
intentions.
The consolidated financial statements of the Company include the accounts
of EPAC and two inactive subsidiaries.
(b) Cash and Cash Equivalents
The Company considers all highly liquid investments with a maturity of one
year or less when purchased to be cash equivalents.
(c) Depreciation
Depreciation of property and equipment is computed by the straight-line
method over the estimated useful lives of the assets.
(d) Income Taxes
The Company uses the asset and liability method of accounting for income
taxes. Under the asset and liability method, deferred tax assets and
liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to
differences between the financial statements carrying amounts of existing
assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets
and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to
taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are
expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and
liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period
that includes the enactment date. Deferred tax assets resulting
principally from operating losses have not been recognized.

E'PRIME AEROSPACE CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
(A Development Stage Company)
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
(e) Loss Per Share
Loss per share amounts are based on the weighted average shares outstanding
of 697,968,420, 691,743,605, 684,725,143 and 675,596,887 for the years
ended September 30, 1998, 1997, 1996 and 1995, respectively. The B
warrants described in note 4 have been excluded from the computation
because they are not dilutive.
(f) 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 reported amounts of assets and liabilities and
disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the
financial statements and the reported amount of revenues and expenses
during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from these
estimates.
(2) Related Party Transactions
During the four year period ended September 30, 1998, the president and
principal stockholder and certain employees have made advances to the
Company. The advances are noninterest bearing and were made principally
for working capital purposes. These advances are included in due to related
parties in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.
Also included in due to related parties were unpaid salaries and wages net
of advances made to directors (officers and principal stockholders) of the
Company.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
(3) Notes Payable (Continued)
The note payable to the Eckler Group provides for interest at 10%. Principal
and interest is payable from the proceeds of the conversion of the Series B
warrants (see note 4). Amounts remaining unpaid in connection with this
obligation upon expiration of the Series B warrants will be converted into
common stock of the Company at the rate of $.04 per share.
(4) Common Stock
At September 30, 1998 the Company has outstanding Series B warrants that
entitles the holder to purchase one share of common stock at $.20 per share
on or at anytime before June 30, 1999. The Company has the right to redeem
the Series B warrants upon 30 days written notice, at $.0002 per warrant,
during the respective periods which the warrants are exercisable. At
September 30, in each of the years ended 1995 - 1998, 12,471,800 shares
were reserved for that purpose.
(5) Property and Equipment Purchased
The Company has purchased certain launching and support equipment from an
agency of the U.S. Government for $233,654. As a result of this purchase,
EPAC acquired a substantial amount of related property at no additional cost
to the Company. Most of the equipment acquired was primarily associated with
the U.S. Government's discontinued "Peacekeeper" missile system and is
located at various facilities in the United States.
In connection with the receipt of the additional equipment as described
herein, the Company has not yet obtained clear evidence of title for all of
the equipment nor has it received a full and complete listing of the
property transferred from the U.S. Government. In addition, there is no
readily determinable market value associated with the property, most of
which was delivered and built for very specialized purposes.
(6) General and Administrative Expenses
General and administrative expenses include interest expense of $104,453,
$104,240, $86,196 and $365,290 for the years ended September 30, 1998, 1997,
1996 and 1995, respectively.
(7) Commitments and Contingencies
During the four years ended September 30, 1998, the Company has maintained
its principal offices in Titusville, Florida. Through March 1993, the
Company leased its premises on a month to month basis. Commencing in April
1993, the Company leases its corporate offices pursuant to a noncancellable
operating lease, which expired in March 1996. The lease is subject to seven
one-year renewal periods at the discretion of the Company. Currently, the
office space is leased on a month-to-month basis.

(A Development Stage Company)
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
(7) Commitments and Contingencies (Continued)
Total rental expense in each of the four years ended September 30, 1998 is
as follows: 1998 $ 16,176, 1997 $ 10,176, 1996 $ 4,244 and 1995 $10,176.
In 1988 the Company entered into an agreement to pay $600,000 in several
installments through August 1989 to settle a certain legal action.
Subsequent to the settlement agreement, management, in conjunction with
legal counsel, challenged the validity of the claims made against the
Company in connection with this matter. Accordingly, during 1989, the
Company ceased making the scheduled payments. The remaining payable due of
$424,703 plus accrued interest of $286,630 was written off in 1995 and
reflected as a reduction of general and administrative expenses. During the
periods ended September 30, 1998, the Company has been subject to legal
proceedings and claims which have arisen in the ordinary course of its
business which have been settled without having a material effect on the
accompanying consolidated financial statements.
In addition, other actions have arisen in the ordinary course of business,
which have not been finally adjudicated. These actions, when finally
concluded and determined, will not, in the opinion of management, have
material adverse effect upon the financial position of the Company.
(8) Management Plans and Intentions
Commencing in 1990, the Company was prohibited by certain agencies of the
United States government from using and developing certain technology
originally provided by the United States Air Force (USAF) in connection with
management's plans to provide a comprehensive payload and satellite
launching service. The Company was informed that the prohibition was
associated with provisions of the Strategic Arms Reduction Treaty, (START)
as signed by the United States and the former Soviet Union.
Primarily, as a result of the circumstances described above, the Company has
encountered difficulties in obtaining the necessary funds to effectively
develop its launching service. However, the Company's development of an
improved version of the "Peacekeeper" first stage motor in a 100% commercial
environment has eliminated it from the START Treaty.
During fiscal year 1998, the Company began the licensing process with the
Federal Aviation Authority and Kennedy Space Center. Based on development
completed through February, 1999, EPAC is proceeding with contract
negotiations.
Management anticipates, through a combination of additional debt but
primarily equity financing, that the Company will successfully complete
remaining research and development of its launch technology, determine and
implement its overall marketing strategy and establish a viable schedule for
the testing and ultimate launching of commercial payloads.
However, as of September 30, 1998, the success of achieving the objectives
discussed above, as well as the ultimate profitability of the Company's
operations once the development stage has ended cannot be determined at this
time.
