Part I
Item 1. Business.
Strategic Ventures, Inc., ("the Company") a Florida corporation was
organized in March, 1987, as Sci Tech Ventures, Inc., and successfully completed
its initial public offering in August, 1989. The term "Company" includes the
registrant and its subsidiaries, unless the context indicates otherwise. The
Company raised $109,000 through the sale of 109 units consisting of Ten Thousand
shares of par value $.0001 Common Stock, and Ten Thousand Common Stock Purchase
Warrants to purchase an additional Ten Thousand shares of Common Stock at a
price of $.50 and One Zero Coupon U.S. Treasury-Backed Obligation ("USTBO") with
a maturity value of $1,000. The warrants expired in October 1992.
The Company changed its name to Strategic Ventures, Inc. in May, 1991.
The Company was formed to engage in the identification, evaluation and
investigation of prospective business acquisition candidates, and if believed
warranted, the acquisition of one or more selected businesses, ventures or
enterprises.
Activities
- ----------
During 1998, the Company's business activities involved the search for
investment opportunities in diverse industries such as specialized
pharmaceutical products manufacturer, entertainment and recreational businesses
among others.
The Company investigated several acquisition candidates during fiscal
1997, but did not pursue a merger agreement after completion of due diligence
reviews by the Company's management team. The Company continues to investigate
potential acquisitions on an ongoing basis with a view towards meeting the
listing requirements for NASDAQ.

<PAGE>
Regulation and Taxation
- -----------------------
Any securities which the Company issues in exchange for the Common Stock
of a target acquisitions will be "restricted securities" within the meaning of
the Securities Act of 1933 (the "1933 Act"). If the target stockholders elected
to resell such securities, such sale could not proceed unless a registration
statement had been declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission
or an exemption from registration was available. As a condition to any merger or
acquisition, it is possible that target company's management may request
registration of the Company's Common Shares to be received by target company
shareholders. In such event, the Company could incur significant related
expenses however, management would likely require the target company to bear
most, if not all, of the cost of any such registration.
The Company intends to structure a merger or acquisition in such a manner
as to minimize federal and state tax consequences for the Company and any target
company.
Competition
- -----------
The Company continues to view itself as an insignificant participant among
the other firms which engage in mergers and acquisitions of privately-financed
concerns. Other competitive firms may have greater financial and personnel
resources and technical expertise than the Company.
Employees and Consultants
- -------------------------
The Company presently has no employees, although its President/Treasurer,
Thomas L. McCrimmon and Vice President/Secretary, Bertram E. Cutler continue to
serve on an as needed basis. These officers devote such time as necessary to the
business affairs of the Company. The Company may also engage, from time to time,
the services of outside consultants to assist it in the evaluation of
prospective target companies and other management matters.
Neither Mr. McCrimmon nor Mr. Cutler receive salaries, however, they are
reimbursed for their expenses incurred in their services as officers. There is
no provision for any additional bonuses or benefits. The Company anticipates
that in the near future it may enter into employment agreements with its
officers. Although Directors do not receive compensation for their services they
may be reimbursed for expenses incurred in attending Board meetings.
The Company has authorized 100,000,000 shares of common stock at
$0.0001 par value. There are 4,000,000 shares of common stock issued and
outstanding as of December 31, 1998.

Financial Condition
- -------------------
During fiscal year 1998, the Company continued to be a development stage
entity and had no sales or revenues.
Liquidity and Capital Assets.
- -----------------------------
The Company's primary source of liquidity since inception has been from
funds raised from its initial public stock offering which were fully expended in
1991. During the year, cash requirements have been minimal due to the minimal
present level of operations. The Company anticipates it will rely in part, upon
the operating profits of its principal subsidiary activities, to contribute
toward its day to day working capital needs.
The Company's cash and cash on deposit position remained at $0 at December
31, 1998. The Company anticipates it may obtain additional equity capital
through the placement of shares of capital stock on a private basis to suitable
and sophisticated investors to fund any further operations. No assurance can be
given that further resources will be accessible to the Company on favorable
terms or at all.
Results of Operations - 1998 as Compared to 1997
- ------------------------------------------------
Expenses during 1998 consisted of accounting expenses, transfer agent and
miscellaneous. The Company anticipates operating costs will continue during the
next fiscal year due to acquisition investigation costs and company maintenance
expenses. As of December 31, 1998, the Company has no material commitments for
capital expenditures.
The Company had no ongoing operations, no assets, and no income at year end
1998.
In 1998 the company incurred a total of $3,485 in operating expenses and
in 1997 had incurred $2,742 in operating expenses. The company had no revenue in
1998 and no revenue in 1997.

In connection with audits of two most recent fiscal years and any interim
period preceding resignation, no disagreements exist with any former accountant
on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement
disclosure, or auditing scope of procedure, which disagreements if not resolved
to the satisfaction of the former accountant would have caused him to make
reference in connection with his report to the subject matter of the

ALESSANDRI & ALESSANDRI, PA
INDEPENDENT AUDITORS'REPORT
Strategic Ventures, Inc.
Tampa, Florida
We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of Strategic Ventures,
Inc. (a development stage company) as of December 31, 1998 and 1997, and the
related statements of operations, stockholders' equity, and cash flows for the
three years ended December 31, 1998, and for the cumulative period from
inception (March 19, 1987) to December 31, 1998. These financial statements are
the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express
an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of
material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence
supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit
also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant
estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial
statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis
for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present
fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Strategic Ventures,
Inc. as of December 31, 1998 and 1997, and the results of its operations and
its cash flows for the three years ended December 31, 1997 and for the
cumulative period from inception (March 19,1987) to December 31, 1998 in
conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.
During the aforementioned periods Strategic Ventures, Inc., ("Company")
has not conducted operations, nor does it have any products or services. The
notes (Note 1) to the financial statements of the Company describe that the
Company was formed for the purpose of making an offering of securities (common
stock and warrants) to the public. Management used the proceeds from the public
offering to seek interests in one or more businesses which management believed
would result in a profit to the Company. As of July 1999, a business had
not been acquired, and additional external financing may be required.
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the
Company will continue as a going concern. As shown in the financial statements,
the Company incurred a net loss of $ 3,485 during the year ended December 31,
1998, and as of that date had a no stockholders' equity. The Company is not
aware of any alternate sources of capital to meet its' obligations. These
conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to acquire an
interest in a business, and its' ability to continue as a going concern. The
financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the
outcome of this uncertainty.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE I ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:
ORGANIZATION - Strategic Ventures, Inc. ("Company") was organized as a Florida
corporation on March 19, 1987. A statement of income (loss) is presented.
However, the Company has had no operating revenues and expenses, except
expenses for acquisition investigation administration.
Presently, the Company is in the development stage, and activities include the
arranging of an offering of common stock and warrants to the public, which was
accomplished in 1989. The Company intends to acquire interests in various
business opportunities, which in the opinion of management will provide a
profit to the Company. Presently, the Company has had no operations, planned
products, or services, and additional external financing may be required to
acquire the business interests.
DEFERRED SECURITIES OFFERING EXPENSES - The Company incurred $5,709 of costs
directly related to its public offering. Such amount was offset in 1989 against
the proceeds from the public offering.
CASH FLOWS - For the purposes of cash flows, the Company considers all highly
liquid debt instruments purchased with a maturity of three months or less to be
cash equivalents.
EARNINGS (LOSS) PER SHARE - Earnings (loss) per share are based on the weighted
average number of common shares outstanding during the period starting from the
date of inception. All insider stock issued is deemed to have been issued on
that date for all periods presented.
INCOME TAXES - The provision (benefit) for income taxes, if any, is based on
the pre-tax earnings (loss) reported in the financial statements, adjusted for
transactions that may never enter into the computation of income taxes payable.
A deferred tax liability or asset is recognized for the estimated future tax
effect attributable to temporary differences in the recognition of income and
expenses for financial statement and income tax purposes.
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 reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting
period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
NOTE 2 PUBLIC OFFERING
The Company offered 250 units to the public at an offering price of $1,000 per
unit. Each unit consisted of 10,000 shares of the Company's common stock, and
10,000 warrants, each entitling the warrant holder to purchase one share of the
Company's common stock at $0.50 each, and a U.S. Treasury-backed Zero Coupon
Obligation. Each U.S. Treasury-backed Zero Coupon Obligation will be purchased
from the
<PAGE>
offering proceeds at an estimated cost of $200 by the underwriter of the
proposed public offering, in the name of the unit holder. The offering was on a
best efforts basis and resulted in the issuance of 1,090,000 common shares.
NOTE 3 INCOME TAXES
The Company has incurred losses to date and as a result no provision for income
taxes has been made.
On December 31, 1997 the Company had $317,000 of accumulated loss carry
forwards. In addition, the Company had deferred tax assets of approximately
$119,000 as a result of the loss carryforwards, against which a valuation
allowance of $119,000 has been recognized due to the uncertainty with respect
to recoverability of the deferred tax asset. Due to the absence of operations,
certain portions of the accumulated net operating loss may not be immediately
deductible.
The net operating losses expire as shown below.
2003 $ 2,020 2008 $19,454
2004 $ 13,582 2009 $ 1,910
