PART I
ITEM 1. DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS.
GENERAL. Grace Development, Inc., originally organized in 1989 (the "Company"),
is pursuing one or more acquisitions of other businesses, with the preference of
acquiring operating and revenue generating concerns. The Company has no
revenues. The Company is seeking qualified business acquisition opportunities
which may satisfy certain needs, to be modified from time to time as determined
by Management, but will generally include the following considerations: the
experience or ability of management of the acquisition; the financial history of
the acquisition candidate; the opportunity of the acquisition candidate to
generate significant future revenues and profits in its business area or areas;
the ability of the acquisition candidate to satisfy the cash needs of an
operating public company; and the ability to expand business operations in the
future.
PERSONNEL. The Company currently has one employee, its President. There are no
collective bargaining agreements or unions of any type. Management believes its
relationship with its employee(s) has been good. No binding employment
agreements exist.
BUSINESS STRATEGY. The current strategy is to keep costs at a minimum while
pursuing viable business acquisition opportunities. The Company will not
restrict its search to any specific business, industry or geographical location,
and it may participate in a business venture of virtually any kind or nature.
Management of the Company will not consult with the Company's shareholders with
respect to identifying, researching, analyzing and acquiring a business
opportunity for the Company.
The Company anticipates that the selection of a business opportunity will be
complex and will entail a high degree of risk. Business opportunities exist in
many different industries and at various stages of development, all of which
will make the task of locating and researching these business opportunities
difficult. The Company has virtually no capital with which to provide the owners
of business opportunities with cash or other assets. The owners of business
opportunities will probably incur significant merger, or similar costs. The
Company will also incur costs in connection with the acquisition of a business
opportunity.
The analysis of business opportunities will be undertaken by the Management of
the Company (not a professional business analyst.) Any business opportunity in
which the Company participates will present risks. Many risks cannot be
adequately identified prior to selection of the specific opportunity. In
implementing its participation in a particular business opportunity, the Company
may become a party to a merger, consolidation, reorganization, joint venture or
licensing agreement with another corporation or entity. The Company may pay a
consulting, finder or similar fee for locating and/or helping as to a merger or
acquisition candidate.
The Company is an insignificant participant among the firms that engage in the
acquisition of business opportunities. There are many established venture
capital and financial concerns which have significantly greater financial and
personnel resources and technical expertise than the Company.
FORWARD STATEMENTS. Certain statements in this form 10-KSB constitute
forward-looking statements. These statements involve known and unknown risks,
uncertainties and other factors that may cause actual results, levels of
activity, performance, or achievements to be materially different from any
future results, levels of activity, performance, or achievements expressed or
implied by such forward-looking
<PAGE>
statements. In some cases, you can identify forward-looking statements by
terminology such as "may," "will," "should," "could," "expects," "plans,"
"anticipates," "believes," "estimates," "predicts," "potential," or "continue"
or the negative of such terms or other comparable terminology. Although
expectations reflected in the forward-looking statements are believed to be
reasonable, there is no guarantee of future results, levels of activity,
performance, or achievements. Moreover, neither we nor any other person assumes
responsibility for the accuracy and completeness of such statements. The Company
does not undertake to update any of the forward-looking statements herein.
YEAR 2000 (Y2K) READINESS DISCLOSURE. The Company may be subject to external
Year 2000-related failures or disruptions that might generally affect industry
and commerce. Moreover, businesses might experience substantial slow-downs in
business if consumers avoid products and services such as air travel both before
and after January 1, 2000, arising from concerns about reliability and safety
because of the Year 2000 issue. All of these factors could have a material
adverse effect on the business, financial condition and results of operations
during this calendar year change. Information technology time and date data
processes including, but not limited to, calculating, comparing and sequencing
data from, into and between the 20th and 21st centuries contained in the
products and services which may be offered by the Company through future
endeavors should function accurately, continuously and without degradation in
performance and without requiring intervention or modification in any manner
that will or could adversely affect performance, given Management's position not
to start any business or acquire any business unless satisfactory confirmation
of Y2K readiness is addressed (as best as reasonable).
ITEM 2. DESCRIPTION OF PROPERTIES.
The Company does not maintain any formal business office, and has relied upon
facilities supplied by its Management, at no cost.
ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS.
Management knows of no litigation by or against the Company.

shareholders of record of Common Stock as at July 16, 1999. To date, the Company
has not paid any dividends on its Common Stock and does not expect to pay any
dividends in the foreseeable future. Instead, the Company intends to retain all
earnings to finance the growth and development of the Company's businesses.
ITEM 6. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OR PLAN OF OPERATION.
<PAGE>
The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the Financial
Statements and Notes thereto contained elsewhere herein. Please note that no
assurance exists as to the actual future outcome of Management's plans,
assumptions or estimates. Currently, Management is seeking to maintain costs at
a minimum while seeking business acquisition opportunities. The Company has
experienced significant losses from operations. Management anticipates that
losses should relatively decrease as time passes and one or more other
businesses are acquired.
PLAN OF OPERATION.
The Company's plan of operation for the next twelve-month period is to focus
upon the acquisition and/or establishment of additional revenue generating
businesses. The Company believes it can satisfy cash requirements through the
end of 1999. Until an acquisition is made, the Company intends to keep expenses
at a minimum, paying nominal expenses from possible loans by Management, and
Management will only select an acquisition it believes will have the ability to
pay the cash needs of the Company, all without any guarantees. Management
believes the ability of the Company to achieve profitability is conditioned upon
several variables, but primarily the successful pursuit of acquisitions,
including the establishment of new operating businesses.

Independent Auditor's Report
Stockholders and Board of Directors
Grace Development, Inc.
Waterloo, Ontario, Canada
We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of Grace Development, Inc., (a
Development Stage Company) as of December 31, 1997 and 1996, and the related
statements of operations, cash flows, and statement of changes in stockholders'
equity (deficiency in assets) 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 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 audit provides 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 Grace Development, Inc. (a
Development Stage Company) at December 31, 1997 and 1996, and the results of its
operations and its 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 4 to the
financial statements, the Company has suffered recurring losses from operations
and other transactions, has a working capital deficiency and has a deficiency in
assets that raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going
concern. Management's plans in regard to these matters are also described in
Note 4. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might
result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

GRACE DEVELOPMENT, INC.
(A Development Stage Company)
Notes to Financial Statements
December 31, 1997 and 1996
1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
BUSINESS HISTORY OF DEVELOPMENT STAGE COMPANY Grace Development, Inc. (the
"Company") was incorporated under the laws of the State of Colorado on January
6, 1989, for the purpose of seeking, investigating and if warranted, acquiring
an interest in business opportunities presented to it by persons or firms that
wish to obtain the perceived advantages of becoming a publicly-held corporation.
The Company is still in the development stage as more fully defined in Statement
No. 7 of the Financial Accounting Standards Board because the Company's
principal operations have not yet commenced.
In March 1990, the Company's Board of Directors determined that a planned merger
with another previously unrelated entity, By American U.S.A. ("BAU"), would not
be finalized because of a variety of factors including the fact that the
purported new officers and directors never filled their offices and acted as
officers and directors of the Company, and that the purported new principal
place of business of the Company and BAU were closed with no forwarding
addresses available. Consequently, the 9,000,000 shares of the Company's common
stock which were going to be issued to BAU in connection with this transaction
were returned to the Company and regarded as never issued. The Company's
original Board of Directors was reconstituted in March 1990, once it became
apparent that the proposed merger had not been consummated.
During March 1990, the Company's former officer and director reconveyed his
300,000 shares of the Company's common stock to the Company for no
consideration. These shares were then canceled.
In February 1991, the Company's original officers and directors resigned and new
officers and directors were appointed.
Because of the lack of funds as further described in Note 4, the Company became
inactive in approximately March 1990, and conducted no activities until April
1993, when it began to perform limited administrative activities.
CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS For purposes of the statement of cash flows, cash and
cash equivalents would consist of money market funds and demand deposits in
banks.
USE OF ESTIMATES The preparation of financial statements in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates
and assumptions that affect certain reported amounts and disclosures.
Accordingly, actual results could differ from those estimates.
NET LOSS PER COMMON SHARE Basic per share information is computed by dividing
income (loss) available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of
common shares outstanding. No warrants or options were outstanding.
DEVELOPMENT STAGE COMPANY The Company has been devoting its efforts to raising
capital, establishing sources of supply, and developing markets for its planned
operations. Since the Company has had no revenues, it is considered a
development stage company.

INCOME TAXES Income taxes are computed under the provisions of the Financial
Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Statement No. 109 (SFAS 109), Accounting for
Income Taxes. SFAS 109 is an asset and liability approach that requires the
recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax
consequences of the difference in events that have been recognized in the
Company's financial statements compared to the tax returns.
FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS Financial instruments are carried at
amounts, which reasonably approximate their fair value due to the short-term
nature of these amounts or due to variable rates of interest, which are
consistent with market rates.
RECLASSIFICATIONS AND RESTATEMENTS Certain amounts in the prior year financial
statements have been reclassified for comparative purposes to conform to the
presentation of the current year financial statements.
2. INCOME TAXES
The Company has accumulated net operating losses, which can be used to offset
future earnings. Accordingly, no provision for income taxes is recorded in the
financial statements. A deferred tax asset for the future benefits of net
operating losses is offset by a 100% valuation allowance due to the uncertainty
of the Company's ability to utilize the losses. As of December 31, 1997, the
Company has net operating loss carryforwards available as follows:
Year
Year Amount Expires
- ---- ------ -------
1997 $ 2,000 2012
1996 2,000 2011
1995 322,000 2010
1994 745,276 2009
1993 8,976 2008
1992 774 2007
1991 668 2006
1990 7,554 2005
1989 8,402 2004
----------
$1,097,650
However, if subsequently there are ownership changes in the Company, as defined
in Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code, as a result of those changes, the
Company's ability to utilize net operating losses and capital losses available
before the ownership change may be restricted to a percentage of the market
value of the Company at the time of the ownership change. Therefore, substantial
net operating loss carryforwards could, in all likelihood, be limited or
eliminated in future years due to a change in ownership as defined in the Code.
The utilization of the remaining carryforwards is dependent on the Company's
ability to generate sufficient taxable income during the carryforward periods
and no further significant changes in ownership.
3. PREFERRED STOCK
The Company is authorized to issue 10,000,000 shares of preferred stock with no
par value. The preferred stock may be issued by the Board of Directors in one or
more series. The Board of Directors shall determine the distinguishing features
of each, including preferences, rights and restrictions, by resolution upon the
establishment of such series. No such shares have been issued to date.

4. GOING CONCERN AND MANAGEMENT'S PLANS
The Company has minima1 capital resources presently available to meet
obligations, which normally can be expected to be incurred by similar companies,
and has an accumulated deficit of $1,097,650 at December 31, 1997. These factors
raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going
concern. In order to begin any significant operations after its period of
inactivity, the Company will have to pursue other sources of capital, such as
additional equity financing or debt financing. There is no assurance that the
Company will be able to obtain such financing. The financial statements, herein,
do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this
uncertainty.
5. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
Year 2000
The year 2000 issue results from certain computer systems and software
applications that use only two digits (rather than four) to define the
applicable year. As a result, such systems and applications may recognize a date
of "00" as 1900 instead of the intended year 2000, which could result in data
miscalculations and software failures. The Company does not own any computer
systems as of year-end and does not have any key suppliers. Thus, the Year 2000
issue should not have a material impact on the Company's financial position or
results of operations.
Common stock
On July 24, 1994, the Company issued 1,000,000 shares, valued at $200,000, for
consulting services. These shares were issued in connection with a consulting
agreement with respect to the location, acquisition and financing of business
opportunities and operating assets. An acquisition was found, but the
acquisition agreement, which the Company entered into, was later rescinded. The
Company disputes the issuance of shares to the consultant and believes these
shares should be cancelled and returned. The subject shares are currently
reflected as outstanding and are considered to be contingently returnable.
On January 6, 1995, the Company issued 80,000 shares, valued at $200,000, for
consulting services. These shares were issued in connection with a consulting
agreement with respect to a potential Agreement and Plan of Merger. The Company
did not enter into an Agreement and Plan of Merger, thus, the Company disputes
the issuance of shares to the consultant and believes these shares should be
cancelled and returned. The subject shares are currently reflected as
outstanding and are considered to be contingently returnable.
