DOCUMENTS INCORPORATED BY REFERENCE
List hereunder the documents incorporated by reference and the Part of this
Form 10-KSB into which the document is incorporated: None.
PART I
Item 1. Description of Business
Freedom Funding, Inc. (the "Company"), was incorporated under the laws of
Delaware on September 18, 1986. The Company initially provided for its
operations from the sale of 800,000 shares of its "restricted," $.0001 par
value per share common stock from inception through the period ended
September 30, 1987. This initial capitalization provided the Company with
$7,000 in cash and services valued at $1,000.
The funds raised from the initial capitalization were expended in the
conduct of an initial public offering which was conducted during the second
and third quarters of 1987. The securities offered to the public by the
Company were units of one share of common stock and four separate classes
of warrants denominated A, B, C and D Warrants. The public offering closed
on September 30, 1987, raising gross proceeds of $40,000. This offering
resulted in the issuance of 800,000 common shares and a like number of each
class of warrant.
During 1988, 654,500 A Warrants were exercised, raising $65,450 in gross
proceeds, and 46,800 B warrants were exercised, raising $11,690 in gross
proceeds, a total of $77,140 in gross proceeds. The foregoing warrant
exercises resulted in the issuance of 701,300 common shares of the Company.
All of the unexercised warrants have expired.
In the fourth quarter of 1987, the Company began its investigation of
business opportunities in which to engage. During 1988, the Company began
discussions with a group of individuals for the purpose of beginning a
business using the corporate structure of the Company for the business and
the outstanding warrants of the Company to raise capital for the new
business.. These efforts were unsuccessful, although the situs of the
incorporation of the Company was changed to Colorado as a result. As of
the date of this report, the Company had not fulfilled its business plan.
In 1996, Mr. Roger F. Tompkins was appointed a director of the Company, and
all other directors resigned. Mr. Tompkins is now the sole director of the
Company and acts as its Chief Executive, Financial and Accounting Officer,
President and Treasurer.
On February 13, 1997, the Company entered into an arrangement with an
unaffiliated third party, Mr. Mark S. Pierce, whereby he agreed to extend
up to $100,000 in cash and services in exchange for the commitment of the
Company to forthwith issue to him 6,000,000 common shares of the Company.
Mr. Pierce committed to bring the Company current in its reports with the
Securities and Exchange Commission, including obtaining audits for the
Company since 1987 and filing tax returns for these periods.
Item 2. Description of Properties
The principal executive offices of the Company are presently located at 331
Kenilworth Circle, Stone Mountain,Georgia 30083. The telephone number at
this address is (404) 296-4347. The Company is receiving the use of these
offices free of charge from Mr. Tompkins.
Item 3. Litigation
No material legal proceedings to which the Company (or any officer or
director of the Company, or any affiliate or owner of record or
beneficially of more than five percent of the Common Stock, to management's
knowledge) is a party or to which the property of the Company is subject
is pending and no such material proceeding is known by management of the
Company to be contemplated.
Item 4. Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders
There were no meetings of security holders during the period covered by
this report.
PART II
Item 5. Market for Common Equity and Related Stockholder Matters
The Company effected its initial capitalization in late 1986 and early 1987
through the issuance of 800,000 shares of its $.0001 par value per share
common stock to various individuals in exchange for $7,000 in cash and
$1,000 in services. Subsequently, on September 30, 1987, the Company
raised an additional $40,000 in cash through the issuance and sale of
800,000 units in a public offering. The units consisted of one share of
common stock and four separate warrants. During 1988, 654,500 A Warrants
were exercised, raising $65,450 in gross proceeds, and 46,800 B warrants
were exercised, raising $11,690 in gross proceeds, a total of $77,140 in
gross proceeds. The foregoing warrant exercises resulted in the issuance
of 701,300 common shares of the Company.
No market for the common stock of the Company has ever developed; thus,
there has never been any market quotations.
Outstanding Shares and Shareholders
As of March 5, 1997, the transfer ledgers maintained by the Company's stock
transfer agent indicated that there were 8,301,300 shares of common stock
issued and outstanding, of which approximately 6,845,000 were "restricted."
The Company estimates that there were approximately 98 shareholders on that
date. There were no shares of preferred stock outstanding on March 5,
1997.
Dividends
The Company has not declared or paid any dividends on the common stock from
inception to the date of this report, although there are no restrictions
on the payment of dividends. Further, no dividends are contemplated
at any time in the foreseeable future.
Item 6. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
Results of Operations

statements and management's comments thereon set forth under this and Item

Liquidity
The Company has not generated any cash flows from operating or investing
activities since inception. Operating capital was primarily provided from
inception through 1987 from the proceeds of an initial funding prior to a
public offering and then from the public offering itself. The proceeds of
these efforts resulted in approximate gross proceeds of $47,000 in cash and
services valued at $1,000. An additional $77,140 in operating capital
was provided through the exercise of warrants in 1988, all of which was
expended in 1988.
Results of Operations
The Company had no operations, other than its search for a business
opportunity, from inception through 1988. In 1989, these efforts ceased
due to lack of working capital. In 1997, this business plan was again
implemented due to an agreement with Mr. Pierce to infuse working capital
and services as needed up to the amount of $100,000.
Item 7. Financial Statements
The audited financial statements and supporting schedules required under
this item are set forth in the immediately following pages.
[INTENTIONALLY LEFT BLANK]
HALLIBURTON, HUNTER & ASSOCIATES, P.C.
Certified Public Accountants
To the Board of Directors and Shareholders
FREEDOM FUNDING, INC.
We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of FREEDOM FUNDING, INC.
(a development stage company) as of December 31, 1996, December 31, 1995,
and December 31, 1994, and the related statements of operations,
stockholders' equity, and cash flows for the years then ended. 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 audit.
We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted
auditingstandards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the
audits 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, based on our audit, the financial statements referred to
above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of
FREEDOM FUNDING, INC.(a development stage company), as of December 31,
1996, December 31, 1995, and December 31, 1994, and the results of its
operations and cash flows for the years then ended in conformity
with generally accepted accounting principles.
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the
Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 3 to the
financial statements, the Company has suffered recurring losses from
operations that raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to
continue as a going concern. Management's plans in regard to these matters
are described in Note 3. The financial statements do not include any
adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
December 31, 1996
1. Organization and Nature of Business:
Freedom Funding, Inc., a Colorado corporation, was incorporated September
18, 1986, under the laws of the State of Delaware, and changed its situs
to Colorado in 1989. Since
inception, the Company has been in the development stage. The Company's
primary intended activity is to engage in all aspects of review and
evaluation of private companies, partnerships or sole proprietorships for
the purpose of completing mergers or acquisitions with the Company, and to
engage in mergers and acquisitions with any or all varieties of private
entities.
Organization costs are amortized over a period of 60 months.
The Company's fiscal year ends on December 31.
2. Results of Operations:
The Company had no operations during the period from inception through
December 31, 1996, other than its search for a business opportunity in
which to engage.
3. Going Concern:
Due to a lack of operating experience, a lack of working capital and a lack
of a selected merger or acquisition candidate, as well as recurring
operating losses, there is substantial doubt of the Company's ability to
establish itself as a going concern and its success is dependent upon the
Company obtaining sufficient financial capital to continue its development
activities and, ultimately, to achieve profitable operations through a
merger or acquisition.
4. Change in Control:
]
In the fourth quarter of 1987, the Company began its investigation of
business opportunities in which to engage. In 1996, Mr. Roger F. Tompkins
was appointed a director of the Company, and all other directors resigned.
Mr. Tompkins is now the sole director of the Company and acts as its Chief
Executive, Financial and Accounting Officer, President and Treasurer.
Further, on February 13, 1997, the Company entered into an arrangement with
an unaffiliated third party, Mr. Mark S. Pierce, whereby he agreed to
extend up to $100,000 in cash and services in exchange for the commitment
of the Company to issue to him 6,000,000 common shares of the Company. Mr.
Pierce committed to bring the Company current in its reports with the
Securities and Exchange Commission, including obtaining audits for the
Company since 1987 and filing tax returns for these periods.
Item 8. Changes in and Disagreements with Accountants on Accounting and
Financial Disclosure
The Company has had no disagreement with its accountant on any matter of
accounting principal or practice, financial statement disclosure or
auditing scope or procedure which would have caused the accountant to make
reference in its report upon the subject matter of the disagreement.
Further, the principal accountant's report in the financial statements does
not contain an adverse opinion or a disclaimer of opinion or qualification
as to audit scope or accounting principle. The Company has had the same
auditor since 1988, its former principal accountant having ceased the
practice.
PART III
Item 9. Directors and Executive Officers of the Company
The following table sets forth all current directors and executive officers
of the Company, as well as their ages:

are or will be selected as a director or nominee.
Mr. Tompkins will hold office until the next annual meeting of shareholders

basis.
The Board of Directors currently consists of one member, Mr. Tompkins. The
Company does not have any standing audit, nominating or compensation
committees, or any committees performing similar functions. The board will
meet periodically throughout the year as necessity dictates. During the
years of 1986, 1987, 1988, 1989, 1990, 1991, 1992, 1993, 1994, 1995 and
