Item 1. Business.

The  Registrant  was formed in May,  1987 to seek,  investigate  and  acquire an
interest  in  business   opportunities.   In  March,  1989  it  raised  $250,000
(approximately   $185,000  net  after  expenses  and   commissions)   through  a
"blind-pool"  offering.  On March 4,  1996,  Exchange  Place  Capital  Partners,
exercised an option to purchase 28,550,000 shares of Venture World LTD, Inc. for
$30,000.  This was paid  directly to Alan  Weisberger  (of New Jersey) and Moshe
Milstein (of New York) in full. A new Board of Directors  was  appointed by Alan
Weisberger  and Moshe  Milstein,  and was  approved  by Exchange  Place  Capital
Partners.   Thereafter  Weisenberger  and  Milstein  resigned  as  officers  and
directors of the Company. (See "Management")

The  Registrant  is  seeking  a  business  opportunity,  but  to  date  has  not
participated  in any  business  opportunities.  There is no  assurance  that the
Company will be successful in finding any business  opportunity to merge with or
acquire. (See "Managements't Discission and Analysis of Financial Condition")

trading in the stock of the Company.  As of February 5, 1996, the Company had 64

earnings, if any, for use in the development and expansion of its business.

           MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
                            AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Financial Condition

Total  stockholders'  equity increased $4,389 from $(5,689) at December 31, 1995
to $(1,300) at December 31, 1996. The increase was, principally,  due to capital
contributions.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

The Company currently has no significant assets and is in the process of looking
for business  opportunities  to merge with or acquire.  At minimum,  the Company
will  need to raise  additional  capital  through  private  funding  to meet the
financial  needs of being a reporting  company.  There is no guarantee  that the
Company  will be  successful  in  obtaining  necessary  funding to  develop  any
business opportunities.

Results of Operations

The Company  sustained  losses of $1,961 and $2,561 for the years ended December
31,1996 and  December 31, 1995  respectively.  Revenues of $2 and $2 for the two
periods  represented  interest  earned on temporary cash  investments and loans.
Expenses of $1,963 and $2,563 for the periods  consisted of  professional  fees,
depreciation,  and other administrative  expenses incurred while the Company was
seeking out business ventures which in the opinion of management,  could provide
a profit to the Company.

                          INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT


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, 1996 and 1995 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,
1996 and 1995,  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



l.  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. Fully depreciated  equipment is written off.  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.

          The presentation of financial  statements in conformity with generally
accepted  accounting  principles  requires  management  to  make  estimates  and
assumptions that affect the amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the
financial  statements  and the  amounts  of  revenues  and  expenses  during the
reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

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 represented net advances by the Company to its
President and  Vice-President  and included interest at a rate of 9% a year. The
Vice-President assumed a loan outstanding from an unrelated party (see below).

   Loans  receivable  - other  consisted  of  loans  made by the  Company  to an
unrelated party and included  interest at a rate of 10% a year.  Another loan to
an unrelated party at the same interest rate which totalled $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:

   a. 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.

   b. The Company leased an automobile for approximately $430.00 a month under a
4 year lease  agreement  which began in May 1989. The agreement also included an
initial  lease  prepayment  of $2,806 which was  reflected as "Deferred  leasing
expense", net of amortization over the 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.
