(718) 851-8617

To the
Board of Directors and Stockholders
of Venture World, Ltd.
I have audited the accompanying balance sheets of Venture World, Ltd. (a
development stage company) as of December 31, 1995 and 1994 and the related
statements of operations, changes in stockholders' equity, and cash flows for
the years then ended. These financial statements are the responsibility of the
company's management. My responsibility is to express an opinion on these
financial statements based on my audit.
I conducted my audit in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards.
Those standards require that I 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.
I believe that my audit provides a reasonable basis for my opinion.
In my opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all
material respects, the financial position of Venture World, Ltd. at December 31,
1995 and 1994, and the results of its operations and cash flows for the years
then ended in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:
Venture World, Ltd. ("the Company") is considered to be in the development
stage as defined in Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 7, and
was incorporated on May 6, 1987 for the purpose of seeking out business
opportunities, including acquisitions that the Board of Directors in their
discretion, believe to be good opportunities. Since inception, the Company
has been primarily engaged in the procurement of capital, and has been
pursuing its objective of seeking business opportunities. There can be no
assurance that the Company will be able to acquire a favorable business
opportunity. Even if the Company becomes engaged in a new business
opportunity, there can be no assurance that the Company will be able to
generate revenues or profits therefrom.
Office equipment is stated at cost less accumulated depreciation.
Depreciation is provided on a straight-line basis over periods of five and
seven years. Maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred.
Organization costs relating to the costs of incorporation are amortized on
a straight-line basis over five years.
Loss per share is computed using the weighted average number of shares
outstanding.
2. INITIAL PUBLIC OFFERING:
On March 31, 1989 the Company completed a public offering of 25,000 units
at $10.00 per unit or $250,000 total. Each unit consisted of 500 shares of
common stock, par value $.0001 per share, and 500 common stock purchase
warrants per class (Classes A, B, and C) that provided for the purchase of
one additional share of common stock per warrant that were exercisable as
follows:
Price Description
Class A $.04 Exercisable to December 31, 1995
Class B $.06 Exercisable to December 31, 1995
Class C $.07 Exercisable to December 31, 1995
No warrants were exercised.

3. RELATED PARTY AND OTHER TRANSACTIONS:
a. Loans receivable - officers represents net advances by the Company to
its President and Vice President and includes interest at a rate of 9%
a year. The Vice President assumed a loan outstanding from an
unrelated party (see below).
Loans receivable - other consists of loans made by the Company to an
unrelated party and includes interest at a rate of 10% a year. Another
loan to an unrelated party at the same interest rate which totaled
$9,971 at January 1, 1991 was assumed by the Vice President (see
above).
b. In January, 1991, the Board of Directors resolved to incur consulting
fees to September 30, 1993 as follows:
The President and Vice President of the Company - $15,600 a year
each and an unrelated investment banking firm (see above) - $450 a
week.
c. The Company paid office rent to its President in 1991 (see Note 5).
4. STOCK OPTION PLAN:
The Company has adopted an incentive stock option plan under which options
to purchase a total of 7,500,000 shares of common stock may be issued.
Options issued under the plan can be granted at exercise prices equal to
100% of the fair market value of the common stock on the date of grant. At
December 31, 1990, 7,500,000 shares of common stock have been reserved for
issuance upon exercise of options under the plan and no options have been
granted.
5. LEASES:
d. At the beginning of 1991, the Company relocated its offices to New
Jersey where it rented space under an oral lease with its President at
$250 a month. The lease ended in October, 1991.
e. The Company leased an automobile for approximately $430 a month under
a four (4) year lease agreement which began in May 1989. The agreement
also included an initial lease prepayment of $2,806 which is reflected
as "Deferred leasing expense", net of amortization over the four (4)
year lease period.

6. CONFLICTS OF INTEREST:
Certain conflicts of interest may arise when the Company finds a business
opportunity due to the fact that the officers and directors each have other
business interests that may also wish to invest in that business
opportunity. There are no assurances that such conflicts will be resolved
in the Company's favor.
7. CONTINGENT LIABILITY AND SUBSEQUENT EVENTS:
In February, 1996, the Company terminated the services of the stock
registrar it had been using and retained a new registrar. The former
registrar is demanding a termination fee of $3,000.
The Company maintains that it has no obligation to pay the fee since the
contract with the registrar does not contain a termination fee clause.
