PART I
ITEM 1. DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS.
Genesis Companies Group, Inc. (the "Company" or "Registrant"),
was incorporated under the laws of the State of Delaware on
December 22, 1988, for the purpose of engaging in any lawful
activity. On or about March 29, 1990, the Company filed a
registration statement on Form S-18 with the Securities and
Exchange Commission, wherein the Company attempted to register
20,000 Units, each Unit consisting of 100 shares of the Company's
Common Stock and 100 Class A, Class B and Class C Common Stock
Purchase Warrants. This registration statement was subsequently
voluntarily abandoned by the Company prior to effectiveness. Other
than filing and abandoning of the aforesaid registration statement,
the only activities undertaken by the Company since its inception
has been the issuing of 4,500,000 shares of the Company's common
stock to its original shareholders, which stock was issued in
exchange for aggregate cash consideration of $13,500 (average price
of $0.003 per share), which shares are presently held by 8 persons.
As such, the Company can be defined as a "shell" company whose sole
purpose at this time is to locate and consummate a merger or
acquisition with a private entity.
The proposed business activities described herein classify the
Company as a "blank check" company. Many states have enacted
statutes, rules and regulations limiting the sale of securities of
"blank check" companies in their respective jurisdictions.
Management does not intend to undertake any efforts to cause a
market to develop in the Company's securities until such time as
the Company has successfully implemented its business plan
described herein. Relevant thereto, each shareholder of the
Company has executed and delivered a "lock-up" letter agreement,
affirming that they shall not sell their respective shares of the
Company's common stock until such time as the Company has
successfully consummated a merger or acquisition and the Company is
no longer classified as a "blank check" company. In order to
provide further assurances that no trading will occur in the
Company's securities until a merger or acquisition has been
consummated, each shareholder has agreed to place their respective
stock certificate with the Company's legal counsel, who will not
release these respective certificates until such time as legal
counsel has confirmed that a merger or acquisition has been
successfully consummated. However, while management believes that
the procedures established to preclude any sale of the Company's
securities prior to closing of a merger or acquisition will be
sufficient, there can be no assurances that the procedures
established relevant herein will unequivocally limit any
shareholder's ability to sell their respective securities before
such closing.

<PAGE>
The Company's purpose is to seek, investigate and, if such
investigation warrants, acquire an interest in business
opportunities presented to it by persons or firms who or which
desire to seek the perceived advantages of an Exchange Act
registered corporation. The Company will not restrict its search
to any specific business, industry, or geographical location and
the Company may participate in a business venture of virtually any
kind or nature. This discussion of the proposed business is
purposefully general and is not meant to be restrictive of the
Company's virtually unlimited discretion to search for and enter
into potential business opportunities. Management anticipates that
it may be able to participate in only one potential business
venture because the Company has nominal assets and limited
financial resources. See "Item 7 - Financial Statements." This
lack of diversification should be considered a substantial risk to
shareholders of the Company because it will not permit the Company
to offset potential losses from one venture against gains from
another.
The Company may seek a business opportunity with entities
which have recently commenced operations, or which wish to utilize
the public marketplace in order to raise additional capital in
order to expand into new products or markets, to develop a new
product or service, or for other corporate purposes. The Company
may acquire assets and establish wholly owned subsidiaries in
various businesses or acquire existing businesses as subsidiaries.
The Company anticipates that the selection of a business
opportunity in which to participate will be complex and extremely
risky. Due to general economic conditions, rapid technological
advances being made in some industries and shortages of available
capital, management believes that there are numerous firms seeking
the perceived benefits of a publicly registered corporation. Such
perceived benefits may include facilitating or improving the terms
on which additional equity financing may be sought, providing
liquidity for incentive stock options or similar benefits to key
employees, providing liquidity (subject to restrictions of
applicable statutes) for all shareholders and other factors.
Potentially, available business opportunities may occur in many
different industries and at various stages of development, all of
which will make the task of comparative investigation and analysis
of such business opportunities extremely difficult and complex.
The Company has, and will continue to have, no capital with
which to provide the owners of business opportunities with any
significant cash or other assets. However, management believes the
Company will be able to offer owners of acquisition candidates the
opportunity to acquire a controlling ownership interest in a
publicly registered company without incurring the cost and time
required to conduct an initial public offering. The owners of the
business opportunities will, however, incur significant legal and
accounting costs in connection with acquisition of a business
5
<PAGE>
opportunity, including the costs of preparing Form 8-K's, 10-K's
or 10-KSB's, agreements and related reports and documents. The
Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the "34 Act") specifically
requires that any merger or acquisition candidate comply with all
applicable reporting requirements, which include providing audited
financial statements to be included within the numerous filings
relevant to complying with the 34 Act. Nevertheless, the officers
and directors of the Company have not conducted market research and
are not aware of statistical data which would support the perceived
benefits of a merger or acquisition transaction for the owners of
a business opportunity.
The analysis of new business opportunities will be undertaken
by, or under the supervision of, the officers and directors of the
Company, none of whom is a professional business analyst.
Management intends to concentrate on identifying preliminary
prospective business opportunities which may be brought to its
attention through present associations of the Company's officers
and directors, or by the Company's shareholders. In analyzing
prospective business opportunities, management will consider such
matters as the available technical, financial and managerial
resources; working capital and other financial requirements;
history of operations, if any; prospects for the future; nature of
present and expected competition; the quality and experience of
management services which may be available and the depth of that
management; the potential for further research, development, or
exploration; specific risk factors not now foreseeable but which
then may be anticipated to impact the proposed activities of the
Company; the potential for growth or expansion; the potential for
profit; the perceived public recognition of acceptance of products,
services, or trades; name identification; and other relevant
factors. Officers and directors of the Company will meet
personally with management and key personnel of the business
opportunity as part of their investigation. To the extent
possible, the Company intends to utilize written reports and
personal investigation to evaluate the above factors. The Company
will not acquire or merge with any company for which audited
financial statements cannot be obtained within a reasonable period
of time after closing of the proposed transaction.
Management of the Company, while not especially experienced in
matters relating to the new business of the Company, shall rely
upon their own efforts and, to a much lesser extent, the efforts of
the Company's shareholders, in accomplishing the business purposes
of the Company. It is not anticipated that any outside consultants
or advisors, other than the Company's legal counsel and
accountants, will be utilized by the Company to effectuate its
business purposes described herein. However, if the Company does
retain such an outside consultant or advisor, any cash fee earned
by such party will need to be paid by the prospective merger/
acquisition candidate, as the Company has no cash assets with which
to pay such obligation. There have been no contracts or agreements
6
<PAGE>
with any outside consultants and none are anticipated in the
future.
The Company will not restrict its search for any specific kind
of firms, but may acquire a venture which is in its preliminary or
development stage, which is already in operation, or in essentially
any stage of its corporate life. It is impossible to predict at
this time the status of any business in which the Company may
become engaged, in that such business may need to seek additional
capital, may desire to have its shares publicly traded, or may seek
other perceived advantages which the Company may offer. However,
the Company does not intend to obtain funds in one or more private
placements to finance the operation of any acquired business
opportunity until such time as the Company has successfully
consummated such a merger or acquisition.
Management of the Company is of the opinion that the business
objectives of the Company remain viable, despite the Company's
failure to merge with or acquire another business entity to date.
Management of the Company continues to review potential merger
candidates and acquisition opportunities.
Previous "Blind Pool" Experience.
Mr. Wm. Ernest Simmons, President and a director of the
Company, was president and a director of Bluestone Capital Corp.,
a "blank check" company ("Bluestone"), which filed a registration
statement in September 1987 with the Denver Regional Office of the
Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"), pursuant to the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Offering"). The Offering
was deemed effective by the SEC on July 13, 1988 and successfully
closed with gross sales of $150,000 (1,500,000 Units at $.10 per
Unit). In December 1989, Bluestone completed a merger with
Dialogue, Inc., wherein Bluestone issued 30,000,000 shares of its
"restricted" common stock, representing approximately 83% interest
in Bluestone, for all of the issued and outstanding shares of
Dialogue. Mr. Simmons resigned his positions with Bluestone at the
time of the Dialogue acquisition. The company has since ceased
operations.
Mr. Simmons was also President and a director of Yaak River
Mines, Ltd., which filed a registration statement on Form 10-SB
with the Securities and Exchange Commission in September 1993.
This registration statement became effective in April 1994.
Effective June 27, 1994, Yaak River Mines, Ltd. ("Mines") entered
into a letter of intent with ITV Communications, Inc. ("ITV"), a
privately held California corporation, whereby Mines agreed to
acquire all of the issued and outstanding shares of ITV, in
exchange for issuance by Mines of previously unissued "restricted"
common stock, representing ownership interest of approximately 90%
in Mines. Mr. Simmons resigned his position with Mines in July
1994, prior to the consummation of the relevant transaction. The
7
<PAGE>
Mines-ITV transaction successfully closed on February 8, 1995. As
of the date of this registration statement, management of the
surviving entity is engaged in listing its securities for trading
on a recognized stock exchange, but as of the date hereof, no
market for the Mines securities has commenced.
Mr. Titcombe, the remaining member of the Company's officers
and directors, does not have any prior "blank check" company
experience.
Employees
The Company has no full time employees. The Company's
officers and directors have agreed to allocate a portion of their
time to the activities of the Company, without compensation. These
officers and directors anticipate that the business plan of the
Company can be implemented by their devoting an aggregate of
approximately 20 hours per month to the business affairs of the
Company and, consequently, conflicts of interest may arise with
respect to the limited time commitment by such officers. See "Item
9. Directors, Executive Officers, Promoters and Control Persons;
Compliance With Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act."
ITEM 2. DESCRIPTION OF PROPERTY
The Company has no properties and at this time has no
agreements to acquire any properties. The Company intends to
attempt to acquire assets or a business in exchange for its
securities which assets or business is determined to be desirable
for its objectives.
The Company's principal place of business is located at 830 S.
Kline Way, Lakewood, Colorado 80226, which offices are provided by
Wm. Ernest Simmons, an officer, director and shareholder of the
Company, on a rent free basis pursuant to an oral agreement. Mr.
Simmons has advised the Company that he is agreeable to maintaining
this situation until the Company successfully consummates an
acquisition or merger. It is anticipated that this arrangement
will be suitable for the needs of the Company for the foreseeable
future.
ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
There are no material legal proceedings which are pending or
have been threatened against the Company of which management is
aware.
ITEM 4. SUBMISSION OF MATTERS TO A VOTE OF SECURITY HOLDERS
None.

<PAGE>
PART II
ITEM 5. MARKET FOR REGISTRANT'S COMMON EQUITY AND RELATED
SHAREHOLDER MATTERS
(a) Market Information. There is presently no trading market
for the common or preferred equity of the Company.
(b) Holders. There are eight (8) holders of the Company's
Common Stock.
As of the date of this report all 4,500,000 shares of the
Company's Common Stock are eligible for sale under Rule 144
promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, subject
to certain limitations included in said Rule. In general, under
Rule 144, a person (or persons whose shares are aggregated) who has
satisfied a two year holding period, under certain circumstances,
may sell within any three-month period a number of shares which
does not exceed the greater of one percent of the then outstanding
Common Stock or the average weekly trading volume during the four
calendar weeks prior to such sale. Rule 144 also permits, under
certain circumstances, the sale of shares without any quantity
limitation by a person who has satisfied a three-year holding
period and who is not, and has not been for the preceding three
months, an affiliate of the Company.
(c) Dividends.
(1) The Company has not paid any dividends on its Common
Stock. The Company does not foresee that the Company will have the
ability to pay a dividend on its Common Stock in the fiscal year
ended December 31, 1996, unless the Company successfully
consummates a merger or acquisition. There can be no assurances
that a dividend will be issued even if a merger or acquisition is
so consummated.
ITEM 6. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
(a) Plan of Operation.
The Company intends to seek to acquire assets or shares of an
entity actively engaged in business which generates revenues, in
exchange for its securities. The Company has no particular
acquisitions in mind and has not entered into any negotiations
regarding such an acquisition. None of the Company's officers,
directors, promoters or affiliates have engaged in any preliminary
contact or discussions with any representative of any other company
regarding the possibility of an acquisition or merger between the
Company and such other company as of the date of this registration
statement.
9
<PAGE>
The Company's Board of Directors intends to provide the
Company's shareholders with complete disclosure documentation
concerning a potential business opportunity and the structure of
the proposed business combination prior to consummation of the
same, which disclosure is intended to be in the form of a proxy
statement. While such disclosure may include audited financial
statements of such a target entity, there is no assurance that such
audited financial statements will be available. The Board of
Directors does intend to obtain certain assurances of value of the
target entity assets prior to consummating such a transaction, with
further assurances that an audited statement would be provided
within sixty days after closing of such a transaction. Closing
documents relative thereto will include representations that the
value of the assets conveyed to or otherwise so transferred will
not materially differ from the representations included in such
closing documents, or the transaction will be voidable.
The Company has no full time employees. The Company's
President and Secretary-Treasurer have agreed to allocate a portion
of their time to the activities of the Company, without
compensation. These officers anticipate that the business plan of
the Company can be implemented by their devoting approximately 20
hours per month to the business affairs of the Company and,
consequently, conflicts of interest may arise with respect to the
limited time commitment by such officers. See "Item 9. Directors,
Executive Officers, Promotors asnd Control Persons; Compliance with
Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act - Resumes."
Because the Company presently has nominal overhead or other
material financial obligations, management of the Company believes
that the Company's short term cash requirements can be satisfied by
management injecting whatever nominal amounts of cash into the
Company to cover these incidental expenses. There are no
assurances whatsoever that any additional cash will be made
available to the Company through any means.

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

reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting

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 Genesis Companies Group, Inc.
at December 31, 1996 and December 31, 1995, and the results of its operations
and its cash flows for the period December 22, 1988 (inception), through

Notes to Financial Statements
December 31, 1996
NOTE 1 - Organization
Organization - The Company was organized as a Delaware
Corporation on December 22, 1988.
Basis of Presentation - The Company is in the
development stage and is primarily engaged in raising
capital. On or about March 29, 1990, the Company filed
a registration statement on Form S-18 with the
Securities and Exchange Commission, wherein the Company
attempted to register 20,000 Units, each Unit
consisting of 100 shares of the Company's Common Stock
and 100 Class A, Class B and Class C Common Stock
Purchase Warrants. This registration statement was
subsequently voluntarily abandoned by the Company prior
to effectiveness. Other than filing of the aforesaid
registration statement, the only activities undertaken
by the Company since its inception has been the issuing
of 4,500,000 shares of the Company's Common Stock to its
original shareholders, which stock was issued in
