ITEM 1. DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS.
4networld.com, Inc. ("4networld" or the "Company") was incorporated in
1986. Between 1991 and March 2000, the Company had no operations, except for
necessary administrative matters, and was not engaged in operating a business.
During that period, the Company utilized its resources to remain in compliance
with the periodic reporting requirements of the federal securities laws while
management attempted to arrange for a merger, acquisition or other arrangement
by and between the Company and a viable operating entity.
In March 2000, the Company adopted a new plan of operation. The Company's
new plan of operation is to make acquisitions and strategic investments in
companies that have developed unique niche software and/or Internet related
products and services that enable companies to integrate the Internet into their
business strategy. The Company's objective is to acquire undervalued businesses
and manage and operate a portfolio of niche software and Internet solution
companies. The Company plans to develop and operate the acquired businesses by
providing management and financial support, as well as assisting them in
marketing, sales, and accounting functions.
In accordance with its business plan, the Company called and held a
Special Meeting of Stockholders on May 11, 2000 (the "Special Meeting"). At the
Special Meeting, the Company's stockholders approved, among other things, the
change of the Company's name from MedTech Diagnostics, Inc. to 4networld.com,
Inc. and a 50 for 1 reverse split of the Company's common stock. At the Special
Meeting the stockholders also approved the adoption of the 4networld.com, Inc.
2000 Stock Incentive Plan ("2000 Stock Incentive Plan"). See Part II, Item 4.
Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders contained in the Company's
Form 10-QSB for the quarter ended June 30, 2000, which is incorporated herein by
reference.

<PAGE>
Pursuant to its new business plan, on April 28, 2000, 4networld
acquired all of the issued and outstanding capital stock of DelOtto Systems,
Inc., a Pennsylvania corporation ("DelOtto Systems"), pursuant to the terms and
conditions of a Stock Purchase Agreement dated April 24, 2000. See Current
Report on Form 8-K, filed on May 3, 2000 reporting the acquisition of DelOtto
Systems, which is incorporated herein by reference. Subsequent to the
acquisition, DelOtto Systems changed its name to 4net Software, Inc. ("4net
Software"). In December 2000, the Company restructured 4net Software from a
Pennsylvania corporation to a Delaware corporation.
4net Software is a full service provider of content management and
content syndication software and is a developer of business-critical web sites.
4net Software develops web-based software applications, focusing on content
management and information exchange. Its flagship product, 4netManager(TM)
bridges the gap between content creation and content delivery by giving
non-technical users the ability to update and maintain their own web site. This
functionality reduces the cost of web site maintenance, and improves the process
of sustaining a dynamic online presence.
Currently, the Company is engaged in managing and developing the
business of 4net Software, and searching for and evaluating appropriate,
undervalued, businesses for possible acquisition.
Strategy
4networld's objective is to become a premier supplier of web-enabling
software by expanding its product and service line through the acquisition of
companies with proven performance in web-based technology. We believe that our
focus will allow us to rapidly capitalize on new opportunities and quickly
expand our product and service line. In addition, we believe that the
acquisition of companies with proven products or services will increase our
revenues and earnings.
As Internet usage continues to rise, the ability of a business to
effectively and efficiently manage the Internet should create a significant
competitive advantage in most industries. 4networld's strategy of acquiring
niche software and Internet solution companies, as well as 4net Software's
products and services, is intended to offer businesses a cost-effective means of
integrating the Internet into their business operations and thereby profiting
through the efficient utilization of the Internet.
The Company plans to acquire companies that have developed unique
proprietary software and Internet based applications and/or e-business
consulting services intended to help businesses manage the Internet. We expect
to target companies for acquisition that are in the following industry segments:
Internet Applications/Services - Companies developing unique
technology regarding web design, software engineering,
e-commerce solutions, and database integration.
4
<PAGE>
e-Business/Information Technology Consulting - Companies that
provide enterprise-wide consulting services to assist
businesses in harnessing the potential of the Internet.
Sales/Marketing Business Solutions - Companies that have
developed proven business solutions in the area of online and
off-line advertising programs, brand development, market and
competitive research, technical writing, corporate
communications, and sales promotion.
Competition of 4networld
In connection with its acquisition strategy, the Company expects to
encounter intense competition from other entities having business objectives
similar to those of the Company. Many of these entities, including Internet
incubators, venture capital partnerships and corporations, blind pool companies,
large industrial and financial institutions, small business investment companies
and wealthy individuals, are well-established and have extensive experience in
connection with identifying and effecting acquisitions directly or through
affiliates. Many of these competitors possess greater financial, technical,
human and other resources than the Company and there can be no assurance that
the Company will have the ability to compete successfully. The Company's
financial resources will be limited in comparison to those of many of its
competitors. This inherent competitive limitation may compel the Company to
select certain less attractive acquisition prospects.
The principal competitors of the Company's wholly owned subsidiary,
4net Software, include: in-house development efforts by potential clients or
partners; other vendors of software that directly address elements of e-business
applications, such as BroadVision; and developers of software that address only
certain technology components of e-business applications (e.g., content
management), such as Interwoven. See "Business of 4net Software, Inc. -
Competition of 4net Software," below.
4networld plans to differentiate itself from its competition through
4net Software's ability to provide a menu of web-based applications and
e-business solutions that scales in both price and functionality from the middle
market up to Fortune 500 companies. This component based approach to application
development provides the business community with the flexible decision making
needed in building an effective online presence, and using the Internet to
manage their business.
The Company will seek to retain a competitive advantage through
execution of its acquisition strategy. Since 4networld plans to acquire
profitable companies already entrenched and proven within their market space,
the Company expects to quickly solidify its position within the web-based
software industry.

Business of 4net Software, Inc.
-------------------------------
On April 28, 2000, 4networld acquired 4net Software, Inc. ("4net
Software"). 4net Software is a full service provider of content management and
content syndication software and is a developer of business-critical web sites.
4net Software has developed a technology which helps businesses manage the
Internet through web-based applications. From design to deployment, 4net
Software provides a comprehensive set of products and services that support the
complete integration of web systems into a company's operation. 4net Software
provides its clients with proprietary web-based applications and e-business
consulting services that perform and scale with the client's business.
4net Software develops web-based software applications focusing on
content management and information exchange. Its flagship product,
4netManager(TM) bridges the gap between content creation and content delivery by
giving non-technical users the ability to update and maintain their own web
site. This functionality reduces the cost of web site maintenance, and improves
the process of sustaining a dynamic online presence.
The Company believes that the cost and processes of web site content
management can be prohibitive to small and mid-sized businesses even as web
sites become an integral part of a business' operations and success. Many of
today's content management systems, regardless of whether they are custom or
packaged, require in-house, expensive technical personnel to write proprietary
code. Thus, it is difficult for a non-technical user to add or change content to
its corporate web sites. To solve this problem, 4net Software has developed
proprietary solutions that enable non-technical users to take a more active role
in web site management - all without sacrificing performance and scalability. As
a result, 4net Software's proprietary products provide businesses with cost
effective and efficient solutions for creating and maintaining a dynamic online
presence.
Recently, 4net Software has added prominent companies to its growing
client base such as ITT Industries. In addition, the Company is in the process
of identifying and pursuing customers where synergies exist, which would allow
4net Software to leverage a strategic partner's resources and gain access to its
existing client base.
Products of 4net Software
4netManager(TM)
---------------
4netManager(TM) is the primary software product of 4net Software. The
success of 4net Software will depend to a large degree on its ability to
successfully market and sell 4netManager(TM). The following components of
4netManager(TM) give businesses the ability to easily modify existing content,
work within familiar interfaces, control workflow, collaborate with remote
sources, search with advanced capabilities, develop an e-commerce
infrastructure, and administer ad placement.

<PAGE>
Free-form Content Manager
This component allows the user to add any sort of free form text into a
web page. Once the web page has been created, the user simply selects
the page to edit in 4netManager(TM), makes any and all text changes,
then clicks the "Save" button. Changes are automatically posted to the
web site.
Events Calendar
The calendar component allows users to enter date-sensitive information
and have web visitors view the information in a user-friendly calendar
context. Additional features include the ability to incorporate event
starting/ending dates, event locations, and event starting/ending
times, and the ability to include a hyperlink to additional event
information. Also included is a purge function that allows users to
easily delete blocks of data based on dates.
Banner Manager
The Banner Manager allows users to change banners on the web site
through the 4netManager(TM) interface. New banners are easily uploaded
through the 4netManager(TM) Media Manager without the need of FTP
software; a third party control allows for simple browser-based
uploading. Once a banner has been added to the rotation this component
differentiates between internal and external links. If an external link
is selected, a new browser window is opened automatically.
Media Manager
The Media Manager is one of the cornerstones of the 4netManager(TM)
program. It facilitates the simple upload, display and deletion of a
wide array of media types. Virtually any media type (e.g. Word (.doc)
documents, Adobe Acrobat (.pdf) files, PowerPoint (.ppt) presentations)
can be managed through this interface.
Links
The Links component gives users the ability to build up a links library
on their web site. Visitors are afforded the ability to dynamically
sort links on the site by selecting a links category from a drop-down
list. Users can verify these links directly from the 4netManager(TM)
interface.
FAQ
Users may build up a knowledge base of questions and answers through
the FAQ component. Visitors are afforded the ability to dynamically
search questions on the site by selecting a questions category from a
drop-down list.
Products
The Product section allows users to easily add a product, product
description, features and benefits list, supporting documents and
images. Products are arranged in a Category / Sub-Category / Product
Listing format.
7
<PAGE>
Product Search
Product Searching capability is fully integrated into the
above-mentioned Products module. Once the product library is properly
established, visitors will be able to perform a key-word search for any
product in the library.
Application Search
In situations where specific applications apply to a family of products
(e.g. recreational, domestic, commercial), applications can be defined
and then simply aligned with the chosen products through a simple
point-and-click interface.
Employee Directory
The Employee Directory component offers a user-friendly interface to
list all key employees and their contact information. Visitors can
filter their search by the first letter of the employee last name.
Optional fields (e.g. photos, cell phone numbers) are displayed only if
they contain data.
Survey
The Survey component allows a user to gain some web site interactivity
by entering a question and up to four possible responses into the
4netManager(TM) interface. When visitors come to the site they vote for
their choice and have the current survey results displayed in a
graphical format. Visitors will only be able to vote once per session.
Advertising Brochures
This module displays current advertising campaign literature on a user's
web site. Visitors can see a thumbnail image of the ad-slick and a
description of the piece, and have a link to download the ad-slick in
.PDF format. Users create the .PDF files; 4netManager(TM) provides the
tools to easily list those files on the web site.
Press Releases
Keeps a user's visitors informed of recent business activity by
displaying press releases on a user's web site. This module includes an
archive flag that allows users to tag an item as current, which creates
both a current and archive news system. An optional module allows the
press release titles to be displayed on any page.
Job Listings
Keep company job openings current for your site visitors. List job
openings by category and include key information topics such as job
description, education or experience requirements, and job codes for
easy identification.
Photo Gallery
This component creates a dynamic display of images on a single web page.
The user simply sets a variable for the number of images to be displayed
per page; the page is dynamically created, allowing visitors to scroll
from page to page.
8
<PAGE>
Scrolling Pages
Similar to the Photo Gallery object, this component allows the user the
ability to create pages of content. A scrollable page will be
dynamically created, allowing visitors to move easily through the
individual pages.
Contact Form
The Contact Form module allows for easy form management and is
integrated with the "ASPMail" object from ServerObjects, Inc. The form
features user-friendly layout that allows visitors to request more
information from check box fields. Options for additional information
(e.g. request for directions, have someone call) are managed through the
4netManager(TM) interface.
Email Sign-up
Provides visitors to a user's web site the ability to sign-up for any
function or event. The Email Sign-up module allows visitors to subscribe
and unsubscribe to a list with a click of a button. The 4netManager(TM)
interface creates a comma-delimited list of resulting e-mail addresses
for easy importing into most mail packages.
The 4netManager(TM)program is the system used to manage all of the
above components. 4netManager(TM) also includes the following features:
Security Login
Access to 4netManager(TM) is secured through a username and password
combination. Users with administrative access can create username and
passwords for other users. New users can be given administrative rights
or can be limited to specific page sections.
Web-based HTML Editing
4netManager(TM) includes in-line HTML editing. Users can bold,
italicize and underline any section of text with the simple click of a
button. Hyperlinks are added by clicking the link button and entering
in the necessary URL.
File Uploading
4netManager(TM) is integrated with SA Fileup. This server-side control
allows for easy file uploading through the web browser. 4netManager(TM)
includes objects that interface with the upload object to limit what
types of files are uploaded and the folders to where they may be
stored.
Graphical Content Positioning
Positioning of data on a web page is easy with 4netManager(TM). Certain
components include the ability to have their positions set by viewing
the content title information and then clicking on the up or down
buttons to position the data on the page.

Enterprise Application of 4netManager(TM)
-----------------------------------------
The Company is in the process of developing an Enterprise Application
of 4netManager(TM). The Company expects to release its web-based content
management enterprise application during the second quarter of fiscal year 2001.
Building on the power and flexibility of the 4netManager(TM) platform, the
enterprise application accelerates time to market for delivering online
business. With a core set of flexible components, 4net Software's enterprise
application will provide businesses with a fast and efficient system to
successfully manage large-scale online businesses that unite content, commerce,
and security.
Services of 4net Software
-------------------------
E-Business Consulting
4net Software provides its clients with effective e-business consulting
services, allowing clients to act decisively and implement quickly. The Company
helps clients navigate through technical issues, such as database integration
and web hosting requirements. Once a strategy is determined, 4net Software is
particularly adept at developing web-based applications that enable companies to
speed effective e-business solutions to market.
Distribution of 4net Software's Products
To date, 4net Software has operated primarily as a web site development
company with a proprietary content management application. Over the past year,
4net Software has designed and deployed web sites for over 100 small businesses.
Each web site developed by the Company is integrated with its content management
system, 4netManager(TM), which allows individuals to update content in real time
regardless of their technical background.
4net Software continues to sell its services along with its proprietary
technology through relationships and customer referrals. In addition, the
Company has significant recurring revenue from its larger clients such as ITT
Industries.
4net Software plans to distribute its enterprise software applications
through key relationships with IT consulting firms and other synergistic
companies within specific industries. In addition, 4net Software will market
their enterprise application directly to companies within the manufacturing
industry.
4net Software plans to distribute its web development and consulting
services through key relationships with advertising agencies, trade
associations, and traditional media companies. The Company has already entered
into agreements with the National Investment Banking Association and KYW-TV3
(CBS Affiliate and subsidiary of Viacom, Inc.) to provide Web development
services to their membership and/or clientele.

<PAGE>
Revenue Model
4net Software derives its revenue from the sale of software product
licenses, software maintenance and support services, and e-business consulting.
Software Product Licenses - 4net Software earns revenues through
licensing it's proprietary software, including 4netManager(TM).
Maintenance and Support Agreements - 4net Software clients
typically purchase maintenance agreements annually, which are
based on a percentage of the product list price. Clients
purchasing maintenance agreements receive unspecified product
upgrades and electronic, web-based technical support, while
purchasers of support contracts receive additional telephone
support.
E-business Consulting - 4net Software earns consulting fee
revenues from providing e-business consulting services. Such
consulting services include integration of software,
application development, training and software installation.
Competition of 4net Software
The business of 4net Software, providing web site content management,
syndication services, and consulting, is highly competitive. 4net Software
expects to encounter intense competition from other entities in its industry.
Many of these entities, including large information technology consulting
service providers such as Andersen Consulting; large Internet hosting services
such as Verio; global and regional web development companies such as
Worldweb.net; vendors of software that directly address elements of e-business
applications such as BroadVision; and developers of software that address
certain technology components of e-business applications (e.g., content
management), such as Interwoven, are well-established, have extensive experience
and possess greater financial, technical, human and other resources than the
Company. There can be no assurance that 4net Software will have the ability to
compete successfully in its industry. 4net Software's financial resources will
be limited in comparison to those of many of its competitors and there can be no
assurance that such limitations will permit 4net Software to achieve its
business objectives.
4net Software will try to differentiate itself from its competition through
its ability to provide a menu of web-based applications and e-business solutions
that scales in both price and functionality from the middle market up to Fortune
500 companies. This component based approach to application development provides
the business community with the flexible decision making needed to build an
effective online presence.
Employees
---------
As of December 21, 2000, we had a total of 4 employees, of which 1 was
employed at 4networld and 3 were employed at 4net Software. None of our
employees are represented by a union or other collective bargaining group.

Factors Affecting Operating Results and Market Price of Stock
-------------------------------------------------------------
You should carefully consider the risks described below before making an
investment decision concerning the common stock of the Company. The risks and
uncertainties described below are not the only ones we face. If any of the
following risks actually occur, our business, financial condition or results of
operations could be materially and adversely affected. In that case, the trading
price of our common stock could decline, and you may lose all or part of your
investment.
The Company Has Limited Resources
The Company has limited resources and has had no revenues from operations
for the fiscal years ended September 30, 1999, September 30, 1998 and September
30, 1997. Currently, the sole source of revenue for the Company is the business
of 4net Software, which became a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company on April
28, 2000. Other than the revenues earned through the operations of 4net
Software, the Company will only earn revenues through the acquisition of a
target company (an "Acquisition"). There can be no assurance that any target
company (a "Target"), at the time of the Company's consummation of an
Acquisition of the Target, or at any time thereafter, will derive any material
revenues from its operations or operate on a profitable basis. The current
revenues of the Company, including the current revenues of 4net Software, will
not be sufficient to fund further Acquisitions. Based on the Company's limited
resources, the Company may not be able to effectuate its business plan and
consummate any additional Acquisitions. There can be no assurance that
determinations ultimately made by the Company will permit the Company to achieve
its business objectives.
The Company Will Need Additional Financing in Order to Execute Its Business Plan
The Company has had only nominal revenues to date and will be entirely
dependent upon its limited available financial resources to implement its
business plan. The Company cannot ascertain with any degree of certainty the
capital requirements for the execution of its business plan. In the event that
the Company's limited financial resources prove to be insufficient to implement
its business plan, the Company will be required to seek additional financing. In
addition, in the event of the consummation of an Acquisition, the Company may
require additional financing to fund the operations or growth of the Target.
Additional Financing May Not Be Available to the Company
There can be no assurance that additional financing will be available on
acceptable terms, or at all. To the extent that additional financing proves to
be unavailable when needed, the Company would, in all likelihood, be compelled
to abandon plans of further Acquisitions, and would have minimal capital
remaining to pursue other Targets. The failure by the Company to secure
additional financing, if needed, could also have a material adverse effect on
the continued development or growth of 4net Software. The Company has no
arrangements with any bank or financial institution to secure additional
financing and there can be no assurance that any such arrangement, if required
or otherwise sought, would be available on terms deemed to be commercially
acceptable and in the best interests of the Company.
The Company May Not Be Able to Borrow Funds
While there currently are no limitations on the Company's ability to borrow
funds, the limited resources of the Company and limited operating history will
make it difficult to borrow funds. The amount and nature of any borrowings by
the Company will depend on numerous considerations, including the Company's
capital requirements, the Company's perceived ability to meet debt service on
any such borrowings and the then prevailing conditions in the financial markets,
as well as general economic conditions. There can be no assurance that debt
financing, if required or sought, would be available on terms deemed to be
commercially
12
<PAGE>
acceptable by and in the best interests of the Company. The inability of the
Company to borrow funds required to effect or facilitate an Acquisition, or to
provide funds for 4net Software, may have a material adverse effect on the
Company's financial condition and future prospects. Additionally, to the extent
that debt financing ultimately proves to be available, any borrowings may
subject the Company to various risks traditionally associated with indebtedness,
including the risks of interest rate fluctuations and insufficiency of cash flow
to pay principal and interest. Furthermore, a Target may have already incurred
borrowings and, therefore, the Company will be subjected to all the risks
inherent thereto.
Competition for Acquisitions
The Company expects to encounter intense competition from other entities
having business objectives similar to those of the Company. Many of these
entities, including Internet incubators, venture capital partnerships and
corporations, blind pool companies, large industrial and financial institutions,
small business investment companies and wealthy individuals, are
well-established and have extensive experience in connection with identifying
and effecting Acquisitions directly or through affiliates. Many of these
competitors possess greater financial, technical, human and other resources than
the Company and there can be no assurance that the Company will have the ability
to compete successfully. The Company's financial resources will be limited in
comparison to those of many of its competitors. This inherent competitive
limitation may compel the Company to select certain less attractive acquisition
prospects. There can be no assurance that such prospects will permit the Company
to achieve its stated business objectives.
The Company May Be Subject to
Uncertainty in the Competitive Environment of a Target
In the event that the Company succeeds in effecting an Acquisition, the
Company will, in all likelihood, become subject to intense competition from
competitors of the Target. In particular, certain industries which experience
rapid growth frequently attract an increasingly large number of competitors,
including competitors with greater financial, marketing, technical, human and
other resources than the initial competitors in the industry. The degree of
competition characterizing the industry of any prospective Target cannot
presently be ascertained. There can be no assurance that, subsequent to a
consummation of an Acquisition, the Company will have the resources to compete
effectively in the industry of the Target, especially to the extent that the
Target is in a high growth industry.
Competition of 4net Software.
The business of 4net Software, providing web site content management and
syndication services, is highly competitive. Many of these competitors have been
in business for a number of years, have established customer bases, are larger,
and have greater financial resources than 4net Software. There can be no
assurance as to the degree to which 4net Software will be able to successfully
compete. See "Business of 4net Software, Inc.- Competition of 4net Software".

<PAGE>
The Company May Pursue an Acquisition With a Target Operating Outside the United
States: Special Additional Risks Relating to Doing Business in a Foreign Country
The Company may effectuate an Acquisition with a Target whose business
operations or even headquarters, place of formation or primary place of business
are located outside the United States. In such event, the Company may face the
significant additional risks associated with doing business in that country. In
addition to the language barriers, different presentations of financial
information, different business practices, and other cultural differences and
barriers that may make it difficult to evaluate such a Target, ongoing business
risks may result from the internal political situation, uncertain legal systems
and applications of law, prejudice against foreigners, corrupt practices,
uncertain economic policies and potential political and economic instability
that may be exacerbated in various foreign countries.
Steven N. Bronson is Critical to the Future Success of the Company
Steven N. Bronson is the Chairman, C.E.O. and President of the Company. The
ability of the Company to successfully carry out its business plan and to
consummate additional Acquisitions will be dependent upon the efforts of Mr.
Bronson and the Company's directors. Notwithstanding the significance of Mr.
Bronson, the Company has not obtained any "key man" life insurance on his life.
The loss of the services of Mr. Bronson could have a material adverse effect on
the Company's ability to successfully achieve its business objectives. If
additional personnel are required, there can be no assurance that the Company
will be able to retain such necessary additional personnel.
Mr. Bronson Has Effective Control of the Company's Affairs
Mr. Bronson owns 4,818,800 shares of common stock of the Company, not
including options to purchase 300,000 shares of common stock, representing
approximately 60.2% of the issued and outstanding shares of common stock and
approximately 60.2% of the voting power of the issued and outstanding shares of
common stock of the Company. In the election of directors, stockholders are not
entitled to cumulate their votes for nominees. Accordingly, as a practical
matter, Mr. Bronson may be able to elect all of the Company's directors and
otherwise direct the affairs of the Company.
There Exist Conflicts of Interest
Relating to Mr. Bronson's Time Commitment to the Company
Mr. Bronson is not required to commit his full time to the affairs of the
Company. Mr. Bronson will have conflicts of interest in allocating management
time among various business activities. As a result, the consummation of an
Acquisition may require a greater period of time than if Mr. Bronson devoted his
full time to the Company's affairs. However, Mr. Bronson will devote such time
as he deems reasonably necessary to carry out the business and affairs of the
Company, including the evaluation of potential Targets and the negotiation and
consummation of Acquisitions and, as a result, the amount of time devoted to the
business and affairs of the Company may vary significantly depending upon, among
other things, whether the Company has identified a Target or is engaged in
active negotiation and consummation of an Acquisition.

There Exist Risks to Stockholders Relating to Dilution: Authorization of
Additional Securities and Reduction of Percentage Share Ownership Following
Merger
The Company's Certificate of Incorporation authorizes the issuance of
100,000,000 shares of common stock. As of December 21, 2000 the Company had
approximately 8,011,018 shares of common stock issued and outstanding and
approximately 91,988,982 authorized but unissued shares of common stock
available for issuance. Additionally, the Company has authorized for issuance
5,000,000 shares of preferred stock none of which are issued and outstanding.
Although the Company has no commitments as of this date to issue its securities,
the Company will, in all likelihood, issue a substantial number of additional
shares in connection with or following an Acquisition. To the extent that
additional shares of common stock are issued, the Company's stockholders would
experience dilution of their ownership interests in the Company. Additionally,
if the Company issues a substantial number of shares of common stock in
connection with or following an Acquisition, a change in control of the Company
may occur which may affect, among other things, the Company's ability to utilize
net operating loss carry forwards, if any. Furthermore, the issuance of a
substantial number of shares of common stock may adversely affect prevailing
market prices, if any, for the common stock and could impair the Company's
ability to raise additional capital through the sale of its equity securities.
The Company may use consultants and other third parties providing goods and
services. These consultants or third parties may be paid in cash, stock, options
or other securities of the Company. The Company may in the future need to raise
additional funds by selling securities of the Company which may involve
substantial additional dilution to the investors.
The Uncertain Structure of an Acquisition May
Result in Risks Relating to the Market for the Company's Common Stock
The Company may form one or more subsidiary entities to effect an
Acquisition and may, under certain circumstances, distribute the securities of
subsidiaries to the stockholders of the Company. There cannot be any assurance
that a market would develop for the securities of any subsidiary distributed to
stockholders or, if it did, any assurance as to the prices at which such
securities might trade.
The Company Expects to Pay No Cash Dividends
The Company presently does not expect to pay dividends. The payment of
dividends, if any, will be contingent upon the Company's revenues and earnings,
if any, capital requirements, and general financial condition. The payment of
any dividends will be within the discretion of the Company's then Board of
Directors. The Company presently intends to retain all earnings, if any, to
implement its business plan, accordingly, the Board does not anticipate
declaring any dividends in the foreseeable future.
Indemnification of Officers and Directors
The Company's Certificate of Incorporation provides for the indemnification
of its officers and directors to the fullest extent permitted by the laws of the
State of Delaware. It is possible that the indemnification obligations imposed
under these provisions could result in a charge against the Company's earnings
and thereby affect the availability of funds for other uses by the Company.
15
<PAGE>
Taxation Considerations May Impact the Structure of an Acquisition and
Post-merger Liabilities
Federal and state tax consequences will, in all likelihood, be major
considerations for the Company in consummating an Acquisition. The structure of
an Acquisition or the distribution of securities to stockholders may result in
taxation of the Company, the Target or stockholders. Typically, these
transactions may be structured to result in tax-free treatment to both
companies, pursuant to various federal and state tax provisions. The Company
intends to structure any Acquisition so as to minimize the federal and state tax
consequences to both the Company and the Target. Management cannot assure that
an Acquisition will meet the statutory requirements for a tax-free
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 an adverse
effect on both parties to the transaction.
The Company May Be Deemed an Investment Company and Subjected to Related
Restrictions
The regulatory scope of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the
"Investment Company Act"), which was enacted principally for the purpose of
regulating vehicles for pooled investments in securities, extends generally to
companies engaged primarily in the business of investing, reinvesting, owning,
holding or trading in securities. The Investment Company Act may, however, also
be deemed to be applicable to a company which does not intend to be
characterized as an investment company but which, nevertheless, engages in
activities which may be deemed to be within the definitional scope of certain
provisions of the Investment Company Act. The Company believes that its
anticipated principal activities, which will involve acquiring control of an
operating company, will not subject the Company to regulation under the
Investment Company Act. Nevertheless, there can be no assurance that the Company
will not be deemed to be an investment company. If the Company is deemed to be
an investment company, the Company may become subject to certain restrictions
relating to the Company's activities, including restrictions on the nature of
its investments and the issuance of securities. In addition, the Investment
Company Act imposes certain requirements on companies deemed to be within its
regulatory scope, including registration as an investment company, adoption of a
specific form of corporate structure and compliance with certain burdensome
reporting, record keeping, voting, proxy, disclosure and other rules and
regulations. In the event of the characterization of the Company as an
investment company, the failure by the Company to satisfy such regulatory
requirements, whether on a timely basis or at all, would, under certain
circumstances, have a material adverse effect on the Company.

ITEM 2. DESCRIPTION OF PROPERTY.
The Company presently maintains its corporate and administrative offices at
900 Third Avenue, Suite 201, New York, New York 10022. The Company utilizes a
portion of the premises occupied by Catalyst Financial LLC, a full service
brokerage investment banking firm, with which Mr. Steven N. Bronson, the
Company's Chairman, C.E.O. and President, is a principal. Catalyst Financial LLC
has, until further notice, waived the payment of rent by the Company. No rent
was paid for use of these offices by the Company during the fiscal years ended
September 30, 2000, September 30, 1999 or September 30, 1998. The Company does
not have a lease on this property and is a month-to-month tenant.
4net Software, the Company's wholly owned subsidiary, occupies a 1,500
square foot office located at 212 S. Main Street, Suite 2, Elmira, New York
14904. The lease is for a period of one year and has an annual rent of $9,000,
including utilities, payable monthly at a rate of $750 per month. The lease
expired by its terms on November 30, 2000, and at that time the lease converted
to a month to month lease with a monthly rent of $750.
ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS.
On or about August 3, 1999, in connection with an agreement with a third
party who was a potential merger candidate, the Company made unsecured loans to
the third party totaling $170,000, which bear interest at the rate of 10% per
annum. The merger negotiations between the Company and the third-party ended
without a merger agreement and the third party has failed to repay the loans as
required by the loan agreement between the parties. On or about November 22,
1999, the Company commenced a lawsuit to recover the $170,000 loaned to the
third party. The action is entitled: MedTech Diagnostics, Inc. v. Abtech
Industries, Inc. and is pending in the New York State Supreme Court, New York
County and has been assigned Index No. 99-605288. The Company entered into a
settlement agreement whereby Abtech Industries, Inc. ("Abtech") agreed to pay
the Company $170,000, plus interest at a rate of 10% on that sum from August 3,
1999, on or before May 15, 2000. The settlement agreement is secured by a
confession of judgment executed by Abtech.
On May 15, 2000, the Company entered into a forbearance agreement with
Abtech, whereby the Company agreed not to file the judgment against Abtech for a
period of two weeks in exchange for a payment of $15,000 representing the
interest on the principal amount of the loan through June 15, 2000. On June 1,
the Company entered into a second forbearance agreement with Abtech, whereby the
Company agreed not to file the judgment against Abtech for a period of two weeks
in exchange for a payment of $15,000 towards the principal amount of the loan.
On June 15, 2000 the Company entered into a third forbearance agreement
with Abtech whereby the
17
<PAGE>
Company agreed not to file the judgment against Abtech for a period of 45 days
in exchange for a payment of $10,000 towards the principal amount of the loan on
or before June 16, 2000, a payment of $10,000 towards the principal amount of
the loan on or before July 5, 2000, a payment of $6,000 representing interest on
the remaining principal balance of the loan from June 15, 2000 through July 31,
2000, and a bonus payment for the forbearance agreement on or before July 20,
2000.
On August 1, 2000, the Company entered into a further agreement with Abtech
whereby Abtech agreed to payoff the remaining principal with interest on the
loan on or before December 1, 2000 (the "August 1st Agreement"). Pursuant to the
August 1st Agreement, Abtech agreed to make the following payments of principal
and interest: (1) a payment of $10,000 by August 5, 2000 representing principal;
(2) a payment of $10,000 by August 15, 2000 representing $5,000 of principal
with the remaining $5,000 for interest and a bonus payment for the extension;
(3) a payment of $30,750 by October 1, 2000 representing principal and interest;
(4) a payment of $30,500 by November 1, 2000 representing principal and
interest, (5) a payment of $30,250 by December 1, 2000 representing principal
and interest. On September 27, 2000, the Company agreed to extend the payment
terms of the August 1st Agreement by one month in exchange for a payment of
$5,000.
Currently, Abtech owes the Company, pursuant to the August 1st Agreement,
as amended, $30,250 for principal and interest due on January 1, 2001. While
Abtech has made all of the payments called for by the agreements set forth above
to date, there can be no assurance that the Company will be able to recover any
additional funds which are owed to the Company by Abtech.
The Company is not a party to any other material legal proceedings.

reliance upon an exemption from the registration provisions of the Securities
Act set forth in Sections 4(2), 4(6) and/or 3(b) thereof and the rules and
regulations under the Securities Act, including Regulation D, as transactions by
an issuer not involving any public offering and/or sales to a limited number of

common shares sold in the Private Placement were purchased by Steven N. Bronson,
the Company's Chairman, CEO and President. After giving due consideration to the
Company's financial condition and its capital requirements for the
implementation of its business plan, the acquisition of the Private Placement
shares by Mr. Bronson was approved by the Board of Directors of the Company on
June 30, 2000, with Mr. Bronson abstaining from the Board's vote on the matter.

ITEM 6. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OR PLAN OF OPERATION.
The following discussion and analysis provides information which the
Company's management believes to be relevant to an assessment and understanding
of the Company's results of operations and financial condition. This discussion
should be read together with the Company's financial statements and the notes to
financial statements, which are included in this report.
Background
In 1991, the Company suspended all operations except for necessary
administrative matters and ceased to be an operating company. Thereafter, the
Company utilized its resources to remain in compliance with the periodic
reporting requirements of the federal securities laws while management attempted
to seek to arrange for a merger, acquisition or other arrangement by and between
the Company and a viable operating entity.
In March of 2000, the Company adopted a new business strategy and plan of
operation, which included among other things, changing the Company's name from
MedTech Diagnostics, Inc. to 4networld.com, Inc. In connection with the
Company's new business strategy the Company called and held a Special Meeting of
Stockholders to vote for, among other things, a 50 for 1 reverse split of the
Company's common stock. See Part
20
<PAGE>
II, Item 4. Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders contained in the
Company's Form 10-QSB for the quarter ended June 30, 2000, which is incorporated
herein by reference.
The Company's plan of operation is to develop, manage and market the
products and services of 4net Software, its wholly owned subsidiary, and make
acquisitions and strategic investments in companies that have developed proven
business solutions or unique proprietary technology intended to assist the
business community in creating and maintaining a robust Internet presence. The
Company's objective is to become a premier Internet enabling company. The
Company plans to achieve its objective by expanding 4net Software's products and
services through the acquisition of companies with proven performance in
web-based technology. We believe that our focus will allow us to rapidly
capitalize on new opportunities and quickly expand our product and service line.
In addition, we believe that through the acquisition of companies with proven
products and/or services we will increase our revenues and earnings.
The Company's strategy is to integrate its portfolio of companies into a
collaborative network that leverages the collective knowledge and resources of
the portfolio companies. In addition to providing management and financial
support, the Company will also assist in the marketing, sales, and accounting
functions for each acquired company.
On April 28, 2000, 4networld acquired all of the issued and outstanding
capital stock 4net Software. 4net Software is a full service provider of content
management and content syndication software and is a developer of
business-critical web sites. 4net Software develops web-based software
applications, focusing on content management and information exchange. Its
flagship product, 4netManager(TM) bridges the gap between content creation and
content delivery by giving non-technical users the ability to update and
maintain their own web site. This functionality reduces the cost of web site
maintenance, and improves the process of sustaining a dynamic online presence.
Currently, the Company is engaged in managing and developing the business
of 4net Software, its wholly owned subsidiary, and searching for and evaluating
undervalued businesses that have either niche software and/or Internet
solutions.
Managing and Developing the Business of 4net Software
-----------------------------------------------------
To date, 4net Software has operated primarily as a web site development
company with a proprietary content management application. Over the past year,
4net Software has designed and deployed web sites for over 100 small businesses.
Each web site developed by 4net Software is integrated with its content
management system, 4netManager(TM), which allows individuals to update content
in real time regardless of their technical background.
4net Software continues to sell its services along with its proprietary
technology through relationships and customer referrals. In addition, the
Company has significant recurring revenue from its larger clients such as ITT
Industries.
4net Software is currently enhancing its proprietary content management
solution into a robust enterprise application. We expect to begin to market this
application to enterprises in various industries including the
21
<PAGE>
manufacturing sector and to aggressively pursue strategic relationships that
will allow 4net Software to capitalize on existing distribution channels. The
Company is currently seeking additional capital to fund a comprehensive sales
and marketing effort around the enterprise application.
Results of Operations
During the year ended September 30, 2000 ("Fiscal 00"), the Company earned
revenues of $85,123 through the operations of 4net Software, which was acquired
on April 28, 2000, compared to no revenues from operations for the year ended
September 30, 1999 ("Fiscal 99"). Additionally, in Fiscal 00 the Company earned
income of $80,000 through the recovery of a loan that had been written off as a
bad debt in Fiscal 99 and other income of $22,650. Accordingly, the Company
earned income totaling $187,773 for Fiscal 00 compared to $10,074 of interest
and dividend income earned in Fiscal 99, an increase of $177,699. This increase
is due primarily to the revenues derived from 4net Software, the Company's
subsidiary, and the partial recovery of a bad debt that was written off in
Fiscal 99.
During Fiscal 00, the Company incurred expenses of $394,679, an increase of
$185,805 over Fiscal 99 expenses of $208,874. The increase was due to payroll
expenses associated with the operation of 4net Software and increased
professional expenses and general and administrative expenses associated with
the Company's acquisition of 4net Software in April 2000, and the Company's
Special Meeting of Shareholders held on May 11, 2000.
For Fiscal 00 the Company incurred a net loss of $292,029 compared to a net
loss of $198,800 for Fiscal 99, an increase of $93,229. The increase is due
primarily to the increase in expenses incurred by the Company as a result of its
acquisition of 4net Software and the operation of the business of 4net Software.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
During Fiscal 00, the Company satisfied its working capital needs from cash
on hand at the beginning of the year, revenue from the operations of 4net
Software after April 28, 2000, cash generated from interest income during the
year, and the proceeds of a private placement of the Company's securities in
June 2000. As of September 30, 2000, the Company had working capital of
$275,283. While this working capital will satisfy the Company's immediate
financial needs, it may not be sufficient to provide the Company with sufficient
capital to grow the business of 4net Software and to finance additional
acquisitions for the Company. The Company may need additional funds in order to
further develop the products and services of 4net Software, to expand the
distribution of 4net Software's products and services, and to finance additional
acquisitions for the Company. There can be no assurances that the Company will
be able to obtain additional funds if and when needed.
Subsequent Events
In December 2000, the Company restructured its wholly owned subsidiary,
4net Software, from a Pennsylvania corporation to a Delaware corporation. In
connection with the restructuring of 4net Software, the Company formed a
Delaware corporation named 4net Software, Inc. ("4net Software (DE)") as a
wholly owned subsidiary and merged 4net Software (DE) with 4net Software, which
is a Pennsylvania corporation
22
<PAGE>
("4net Software (PA)"). The board of directors of 4net Software (DE) are Steven
N. Bronson, Leonard Hagan and Alan Rosenberg. Mr. Bronson is the President of
4net Software (DE). Upon completion of the merger, 4net Software (PA) will be
dissolved.
Effective November 30, 2000, Robert Park resigned as the Vice President of
the Company. Mr. Park remains as a member of the Board of Directors of the
Company. Effective December 1, 2000, Mr. Park became employed by Catalyst
Financial LLC, a company controlled by Steven N. Bronson, the Chairman, CEO and
President of the Company.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT

To the Board of Directors and Stockholders
4networld.com, Inc.
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of 4networld.com,
Inc. and Subsidiary as of September 30, 2000, and the related consolidated
statements of operations, changes in stockholders' equity and cash flows for
each of the two years in the period ended September 30, 2000 which have been
prepared on the basis of accounting principles generally accepted in the United
States. 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 auditing standards generally accepted
in the United States. 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 4networld.com, Inc.
and Subsidiary as of September 30, 2000, and the results of their operations and
their cash flows for each of the two years in the period then ended, in
conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.

4networld.com, Inc. AND SUBSIDIARY
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
NOTE 1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts
of 4networld.com, Inc., formerly known as MedTech
Diagnostics, Inc. (the Company) for the entire period and
4net Software, Inc., formally known as Delotto Systems,
Inc., (the Subsidiary) for the period from April 28, 2000
(acquisition date) through September 30, 2000. All
significant intercompany balances and transactions have been
eliminated in consolidation.
Business Activity
The Company is engaged in the business of providing software,
internet consulting and web design and maintenance services
for the business-to-business market and is a provider of
content management and content syndication software. The
Company's customers are located primarily in the United
States.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents consist of cash and all short-term
highly liquid investments that are readily convertible to
cash. The Company, from time to time, maintains cash balances
in excess of federally insured limits.
Property and Equipment
Property and equipment is recorded at cost. Expenditures for
major betterments and additions are charged to the asset
accounts, while replacements, maintenance and repairs which do
not improve or extend the lives of the respective assets are
charged to expense currently.
Depreciation and Amortization
Depreciation and amortization of property and equipment is
computed using straight-line methods over the estimated useful
lives of the assets. The range of useful lives is as follows:
Computer and office equipment 3 - 5 years
Furniture and fixtures 7 years
Leasehold improvements 3 years or life of lease
6
<PAGE>
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
NOTE 1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Goodwill
Goodwill is stated at cost and is amortized on a straight-line
basis over 10 years.
The Company evaluates its intangible assets in accordance with
the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards
("SFAS") No. 121, Accounting for the Impairment of Long-lived
Assets and Assets to be Disposed Of. This statement requires
assessment of impairment of long-lived assets whenever
factors, events or changes in circumstances indicate the
carrying amount of certain long-lived assets to be held and
used may not be recoverable. Assessment of impairment is based
on the expected undiscounted cash flows of the assets. If an
asset is determined to be impaired, an impairment loss is
recognized to the extent the carrying amount of the impaired
asset exceeds fair value.
Income Taxes
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 109 ("SFAS No.
109"), "Accounting for Income Taxes, " requires the use of an
asset and liability approach in accounting for income taxes.
Deferred income taxes reflect the net tax effects of temporary
differences between the carrying amounts of assets and
liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts
used for income tax purposes. A valuation allowance is
established to reduce deferred tax assets if it is more likely
than not that all or some portion of such deferred tax assets
will not be realized. The ultimate realization of the deferred
tax asset depends on the Company's ability to generate
sufficient taxable income in the future.
Revenue Recognition
The Company recognizes revenues as work is performed on a
contract by contract basis, adjusted for any anticipated
losses in the period in which any such losses are identified.
To date, the Company has not experienced any material losses.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 107,
"Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments"
requires that the Company disclose estimated fair values for
its financial instruments. The following methods and
assumptions were used by the Company in estimating the fair
values of each class of financial instruments disclosed
herein:
Accrued expenses - The carrying amount approximates fair
value because of the short maturity of those instruments.
Long-term debt - The fair value of long-term debt is
estimated using discounted cash flows analyses based on
the Company's incremental borrowing rates for similar
types of borrowing arrangements. At September 30, 2000,
the fair values approximate the carrying values.

NOTE 1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Net Loss Per Common Share
Net loss per share is computed in accordance with Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 128, based on the
weighted average number of common shares outstanding.
Outstanding stock options (see Note 5) were not considered in
the calculation of weighted average number of common shares
outstanding, as their effect would have been antidilutive.
Use of Estimates in the Preparation of Financial Statements
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles requires management
to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported
amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent
assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements
and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the
reporting period. Actual results could differ from those
estimates.
Stock Options (SFAS 123)
Options granted to employees under the Company's Stock Option
Plan are accounted for by using the intrinsic method under APB
Opinion 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees (APB 25).
In October 1995, the Financial Accounting Standards Board
issued Statement No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based
Compensation (SFAS 123), which defines a fair value based
method of accounting for stock options. The accounting
standards prescribed by SFAS 123 are optional and the Company
has continued to account for stock options under the intrinsic
value method specified in APB 25. Pro forma disclosures of net
earnings and earnings per share have been made in accordance
with SFAS 123.
Reclassification
Certain amounts in the 1999 financial statements have been
reclassified to conform with 2000 presentation.

NOTE 4. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES (Continued)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Abtech Industries, Inc. Settlement
During the year ended September 30, 1999, the Company made two
advances, evidenced by a loan receivable, totaling $170,000 to
Abtech Industries, Inc. ("Abtech"), an intended merger target.
The merger agreement was cancelled and Abtech defaulted under
the loan agreement. Due to the Company's inability to estimate
the amount ultimately recoverable from Abtech, the Company
reduced the carrying value of the receivable to $1,000 as of
September 30, 1999.
Pursuant to a final agreement in September 2000, the Company
and Abtech agreed to a full settlement aggregating $170,000.
As of September 30, 2000, the Company had received $80,000 in
principal payments, $17,000 in interest payments and $10,000
in fees to extend payment dates. Per the agreement the Company
will receive the remaining principal payments during the year
ending September 30, 2001.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
NOTE 5. STOCK OPTION PLANS
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
In March 2000, the Company established a Stock Incentive Plan
under which employees, officers, directors, consultants,
independent contractors and advisors of the Company may be
granted options to purchase shares of the Company's common
stock at a price to be determined by two or more directors or
board committee, which can not be less than sixty-five percent
of the common stock fair value at the date of grant. In
addition, the Stock Incentive Plan also authorizes the Company
to issued restrictive stock awards and stock bonuses. The
Stock Incentive Plan authorizes the issuance of up to
1,100,000 shares of the Company's common stock.
The Company adopted the disclosure-only provisions of
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123,
"Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation," ("SFAS 123") in
2000. The Company has elected to continue using Accounting
Principles Board Opinion No. 25, "Accounting for Stock Issued
to Employees" in accounting for employee stock options.
Accordingly, compensation expense has been recorded to the
extent that the market value of the underlying stock exceeded
the exercise price at the date of grant.
The weighted average fair value per option as of grant date
was $0.42 for stock options granted during the fiscal year
ended September 30, 2000. The Company estimated the fair value
of all stock options granted during the fiscal year ended
September 30, 2000 by using the Black-Scholes pricing model
with the following assumptions: (i) risk-free interest rate of
6%, (ii) expected option lives ranging from 5 to 10 years,
depending on the provisions of each option, (iii) expected
volatility in the market price of the Company's common stock
of 80%, and (iv) no expected dividends on the underlying
stock.

Had employee compensation cost been determined on the basis of
fair value pursuant to SFAS 123, the consolidated net loss and

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
NOTE 7. SIGNIFICANT TRANSACTIONS AND EVENTS
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Acquisition
Effective April 28, 2000, the Company acquired all of the
issued and outstanding common stock of the Subsidiary. In
connection therewith, the Company incurred approximately
$20,000 in expenses and issued 300,000 shares of the Company's
common stock. The acquisition was accounted for as a purchase,
and accordingly, the purchase price was allocated to the net
assets acquired based on their estimated fair market values
and the results of operations of the Subsidiary beginning
April 29, 2000 are included in the Company's statement of
operations. As a result of this acquisition, $820,000 was
allocated to goodwill, which is the excess of the purchase
price over the fair value of the net assets acquired. The
goodwill is attributable to the general reputation of this
business in the communities it serves, the collective
experience of the management and other employees.
Unaudited pro forma results of operations, assuming the
acquisition of the Subsidiary occurred as of the beginning of
the fiscal year ended September 30, 2000, after giving effect
to certain adjustments such as the elimination of intercompany
transactions resulting from the acquisitions, were as follows:
September 30, 2000
(Unaudited)
--------------------------------------------------------------
Revenues $ 159,976
Net loss ($ 398,308)
Loss per share ($ 0.06)
The pro forma summary does not necessarily reflect the results
of operations as they would have been if the companies had
constituted a single entity during such period.
Pro forma information for the year ended September 30, 1999 is
not presented as the Subsidiary commenced operations in
November 1999.
Reverse Stock Split
Effective May 16, 2000, the Company amended its certificate of
incorporation to account for a one for fifty reverse stock
split of its common stock and decreased the number of shares
of common stock authorized for issuance to 100,000,000. All
stock information has been adjusted to give effect to the
above.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
NOTE 7. SIGNIFICANT TRANSACTION AND EVENT (Continued)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Private Sale of Stock
Effective June 30, 2000, the Company sold 2,000,000 shares of
its unregistered common stock to its Chairman for $500,000.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
NOTE 8. INCOME TAXES
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
At September 30, 2000, the Company had consolidated net
operating loss carryforwards of approximately $1,532,000,
which expire in varying amounts beginning September 30, 2002
through September 30, 2020. Federal tax rules impose
limitations on the use of net operating losses following
certain changes in ownership. Such changes of control occurred
during the fiscal years ended September 30, 1996 and September
30, 2000. As a result, the Company's and the Subsidiary's
ability to utilize the net operating loss carryforwards
existing prior to the ownership changes are subject to an
annual limitation of approximately $14,000 and $44,500
respectively, and accordingly, the maximum consolidated net
operating loss presently available is approximately $559,000.
As a result of these net operating losses and other timing
differrences, the Company has recorded a deferred tax asset of
approximately $281,000, which is offset by a valuation
allowance in the same amount as the Company believes it is
more likely than not that future tax benefits will not be
realized. Realization of the deferred tax asset is dependent
on generating sufficient taxable income in the future. The
amount of the deferred tax asset considered realizable could
change in the near term if estimates of future taxable income
are increased.
The major elements contributing to the difference between
income taxes and the amount computed by applying the federal
statutory tax rate of 34% to the loss before income taxes are
as follows:
Years Ended September 30
2000 1999
--------------------------------------------------------------
Statutory rate ($ 99,000) ($ 68,000)
State income taxes ( 11,000) ( 7,000)
Change in valuation allowance 118,000 75,000
Permanent differences and other ( 8,000) -
