PART I
Item 1. Description of Business.
General
Westech Capital Corp. (the "Company" or the "Registrant") was organized as
a New York corporation on July 18, 1990 for the purpose of investing in any and
all types of assets, properties and businesses. It has not engaged in any
business operations. The Company, which is commonly known as a "blind pool" or
"blank check", will attempt to acquire a business in an industry as yet
undetermined. The Company presently has no specified type of business
contemplated to be acquired.
In connection with its initial capitalization, the Registrant issued 12,500
shares of its Common Stock to its officers and directors for the aggregate sum
of $2,500. In furtherance of its corporate purpose, on May 26, 1992, the
Registrant closed its initial public offering of 50,000 Units at a price of
$1.00 per Unit. Each Unit consisted of one share of Common Stock, one Class "A"
Common Stock Purchase Warrant, and one Class "B" Common Stock Purchase Warrant.
The Warrants, which entitled the holders to purchase additional Common Stock at
$5.00 and $10.00, respectively, have expired. To obtain additional working
capital, in each of July 1997 and March 1998 the Company raised $10,000 from the
sale of 40,000 shares of its Common Stock at a price of $.25 per share.
The Registrant is seeking the acquisition of or merger with an existing
company ("Potential Business Acquisitions"). Given the limited assets of the
Registrant, it is likely to acquire or merge with a company which is not seeking
immediate substantial amounts of cash but one which desires to establish a
public trading market for its shares. However, within the next six months the
Company intends to seek to raise additional funds to augment its cash on hand,
which also could be used for the benefit of any Business Acquisition seeking an
immediate cash infusion. There can be no assurance that the Company's financing
efforts will be successful.
There are numerous reasons why an existing privately-held company would
seek to become a public company through a merger or acquisition rather than
doing its own public offering. Such reasons include avoiding the time delays
involved in a public offering; retaining a larger share of voting control of the
publicly-held company; reducing the cost factors incurred in becoming a public
company; and avoiding any dilution requirements set forth under various states'
blue sky laws.
The Registrant does not propose to restrict its search for Potential
Business Acquisitions to any particular industry or
3
<PAGE>
any particular geographic area and may, therefore, engage in essentially any
business to the extent of its limited resources.
It is anticipated that knowledge of Potential Business Acquisitions will be
made known to the Registrant by various sources, including its officers and
directors, shareholders, professional advisors such as attorneys and
accountants, securities broker-dealers, venture capitalists, members of the
financial community, and others who may present unsolicited proposals. In
certain circumstances, the Registrant may agree to pay a finder's fee or to
otherwise compensate such persons for services rendered in bringing about a
transaction. However, no cash finder's fee shall be paid to any officer or
director of the Registrant or their affiliates or associates. The amount of any
such finder's fee or other compensation which may be paid to such persons for
services rendered in bringing about a transaction is subject to future
negotiation between the Registrant, the entity to be acquired and the finder.
Selection of Opportunities
The analysis of new business opportunities has and will be undertaken by or
under the supervision of the officers and directors of the Registrant, none of
whom is a professional business analyst or has any previous training or
experience in business analysis or in selecting or hiring business analysts. The
Registrant has, since the date of the closing of its public offering, considered
potential acquisition transactions with several companies but as of this date
has not entered into any definitive agreement with any party. The Registrant has
unrestricted flexibility in seeking, analyzing and participating in Potential
Business Opportunities. In its efforts to analyze potential acquisition targets,
the Registrant will consider the following kinds of factors:
(a) Potential for growth, indicated by new technology, anticipated market
expansion or new products;
(b) Competitive position as compared to other firms of similar size and
experience within the industry segment as well as within the industry as a
whole;
(c) Strength and diversity of management, either in place or scheduled for
recruitment;
(d) Capital requirements and anticipated availability of required funds, to
be provided by the Registrant or from operations, through the sale of additional
securities, through joint ventures or similar arrangements or from other
sources;
(e) The cost of participation by the Registrant as compared to the
perceived tangible and intangible values and potentials;
4
<PAGE>
(f) The extent to which the business opportunity can be advanced;
(g) The accessibility of required management expertise, personnel, raw
materials, services, professional assistance and other required items; and
(h) other relevant factors.
In applying the foregoing criteria, no one of which will be controlling,
management will attempt to analyze all factors in the circumstances and make a
determination based upon reasonable investigative measures and available data.
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. Due to the Registrant's limited capital
available for investigation and management's limited experience in business
analysis, the Registrant may not discover or adequately evaluate adverse facts
about the opportunity to be acquired.
Form of Acquisition
The manner in which the Registrant participates in an opportunity will
depend upon the nature of the opportunity, the respective needs and desires of
the Registrant and the promoters of the opportunity, and the relative
negotiating strength of the Registrant and such promoters.
It is likely that the Registrant will acquire its participation in a
business opportunity through the issuance of common stock or other securities of
the Registrant. Although the terms of any such transaction cannot be predicted,
it should be noted that in certain circumstances the criteria for determining
whether or not an acquisition is a so-called "tax free" reorganization under
Section 368(a)(1) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, depends upon
the issuance to the shareholders of the acquired company of at least 80 percent
of the common stock of the combined entities immediately following the
reorganization. If a transaction were structured to take advantage of these
provisions rather than other "tax free" provisions provided under the Internal
Revenue Code, all prior shareholders would in such circumstances retain 20% or
less of the total issued and outstanding shares. This could result in
substantial additional dilution to the equity of those who were shareholders of
the Registrant prior to such reorganization.
The present shareholders of the Registrant will likely not have control of
a majority of the voting shares of the Registrant following a reorganization
transaction. As part of such a transaction, all or a majority of the
Registrant's directors may
5
<PAGE>
resign and new directors may be appointed without any vote by shareholders.
In the case of an acquisition, the transaction may be accomplished upon the
sole determination of management without any vote or approval by shareholders.
In the case of a statutory merger or consolidation, it will likely be necessary
to call a shareholders' meeting and obtain the approval of the holders of a
majority of the outstanding shares. The necessity to obtain such shareholder
approval may result in delay and additional expense in the consummation of any
proposed transaction and will also give rise to certain appraisal rights to
dissenting shareholders. Most likely, management will seek to structure any such
transaction so as not to require shareholder approval.
It is anticipated that the investigation of specific business opportunities
and the negotiation, drafting and execution of relevant agreements, disclosure
documents and other instruments will require substantial management time and
attention and substantial costs for accountants, attorneys and others. If a
decision is made not to participate in a specific business opportunity, the
costs theretofore incurred in the related investigation would not be
recoverable. Furthermore, even if an agreement is reached for the participation
in a specific business opportunity, the failure to consummate that transaction
may result in the loss to the Registrant of the related costs incurred.
Acquisition Restrictions
The Company does not intend to pursue any business opportunity or
transaction which would render it an "investment company" as the term is defined
in the Investment Company Act of 1940. In this regard, the Company has not
engaged and does not intend to engage in the business of (1) investing,
reinvesting, or trading in securities as its primary business, (2) issuing face
amount certificates of the installment type or (3) investing, reinvesting,
owning, holding, or trading in securities. Being deemed an "investment company"
under such Act, without registration as such, could result in certain instances
in civil liability and criminal penalties to controlling persons of, as well as
civil liabilities and unenforceability of contracts with regard to, the Company.
The Company has not engaged and does not intend nor have authority to
engage in the business of advising others, either directly or through
publications or writings, as to the value of securities or as to the
advisability of investing in, purchasing, or selling securities for compensation
nor as a part of its regular business to issue or promulgate analyses or reports
concerning securities. The Company does not intend, nor does it have any
authority, to pursue any course of business which would render it an "investment
advisor" as that term is defined in the Investment Advisors Act of 1940.
6
<PAGE>
Daily Operations and Employees
To date, the Company has had no, and until an active business is commenced
or acquired the Company will have no, employees or day-to-day operations.
Management is unable to make any estimate as to the future number of employees
which may be necessary, if any, to work for the Company. If an existing business
is acquired it is possible that its existing staff would be hired by the
Company. At the present time it is the intention of management to meet or be in
telephone contact as needed to review business opportunities, evaluate potential
acquisitions and otherwise operate the affairs of the Company. Management will
not be compensated for these services rendered on behalf of the Company.
Item 2. Description of Property.
The Company has entered into an oral arrangement with Neil Ragin,
President, Treasurer and Chairman of the Board of the Company, providing for him
to furnish the use of a portion of his business office as a temporary office for
the Company until such time it needs additional facilities. The Company will not
pay rent for the use of such temporary facilities.
Item 3. Legal Proceedings.
There are no material pending legal proceedings to which the Company is a
party or to which any of its property is subject and no such proceedings are
known to the Company to be threatened or contemplated by or against it.
Item 4. Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders.
No matters were submitted to a vote of security holders during the fiscal
year covered by this Report.

<PAGE>
PART II
Item 5. Market for Common Equity and Related Stockholder Matters.
Market Information
There is no public market for the Company's securities.
Holders
As of September 9, 1998, there were 39 record holders of the Company's
Common Stock.
Common Stock
The Company is authorized to issue 50,000,000 shares of Common Stock, par
value $.001 each. As of September 9, 1998 there were 142,500 such shares issued
and outstanding. Holders of shares of Common Stock are entitled to one vote for
each share held. There are no preemptive, subscription, conversion or redemption
rights pertaining to the shares. Holders of the shares of Common Stock are
entitled to receive such dividends as may be declared by the Board of Directors
out of assets legally available therefor and to share ratably in the assets of
the Company available upon liquidation.
The holders of shares of Common Stock do not have the right to cumulate
their votes in the election of directors and, accordingly, the holders of more
than 50% of all such shares outstanding can elect all of the directors.
Remaining shareholders will not be able to elect any directors.
Dividends
The Company has not paid cash dividends to date and intends to retain
earnings, if any, for use in its activities. Payment of cash dividends in the
future will be wholly dependent upon the Board of Directors and upon the
Company's earnings, financial condition, capital requirements and other factors
deemed relevant by them. It is not likely that cash dividends will be paid in
the foreseeable future.
In the event of the acquisition of or merger with a business by the
Company, control of the Company and its Board of Directors may pass to others.
In that event, the payment of dividends would be wholly dependent upon such
persons.

Item 6. Management's Discussion and Analysis or Plan of Operation.
(a) Plan of Operation
The Registrant was formed July 18, 1990 for the purpose of investing in any
and all types of assets, properties and businesses. In connection with the
initial capitalization of the Company a total of 12,500 shares of its common
stock were issued to its officers and directors for the aggregate sum of $2,500.
On November 12, 1991, the United States Securities and Exchange Commission
granted effectiveness to a Registration Statement on Form S-18 for an offering
of 50,000 Units of Common Stock and Warrants to purchase shares of Common Stock
at a price of $1.00 per Unit. The offering was closed in May 1992. To obtain
additional working capital, in each of July 1997 and March 1998, the Company
raised $10,000 from the sale of 40,000 shares of its Common Stock at a price of
$.25 per share.
The Registrant is implementing its plan of operation by seeking to locate a
suitable company which desires to go public through a "reverse acquisition" with
it. Although no assurance can be given, the Company believes its cash on hand
will satisfy its cash requirements until it effects such an acquisition.
However, depending on how long it takes to implement its plan of operation the
Company may seek to raise additional funds to augment its cash on hand, which
also could be used for the benefit of any company it acquires or with which it
merges. There can be no assurance that the Company's financing efforts will be
successful. The Company's plan of operation is further described in Item 1
hereof.
(b) Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
Results of Operations
Since inception the Registrant has not any business operations, and its
activities have been limited to the sale of its securities and the search for a
company to acquire or with which to merge through a "reverse acquisition". The
Registrant will not have any business operations until, if ever, such time as it
effects an acquisition or merger. Accordingly, no operating income has been
generated by the Registrant since its inception.
For the years ended June 30, 1997 and 1998, the Company had a net loss of
($12,949) and ($9,696), respectively, or ($.21) and ($.08) per share,
respectively. From inception to June 30, 1998, the Company had a net loss of
($54,938), or ($.96) per share. Such losses are attributable primarily to costs
associated with being subject to the reporting requirements of federal
securities laws and the Company's attempts to identify and acquire a business.

Organization business activity and dividend policy
The Company was incorporated under the laws of the State of New York on July 18,

principal operations. The Company is seeking the acquisition of, or merger with
an existing Company. The fiscal year of the corporation is June 30. The Company
has, at the present time, not paid any dividends and any dividends that may be
paid in the future will depend upon the financial requirements of the Company
and other relevant factors.

Company in fiscal 1998 or prior years, and it
17
<PAGE>
is not anticipated that remuneration will be paid prior to the Company's
acquisition of a business. The Company has no current intent to issue shares of
its common stock to management in connection with a Business Acquisition.
However, the Company may subsequently deem the issuance of shares to management
for services rendered in connection with such an Acquisition to be fair and
reasonable to the Company and its public shareholders in light of the services
rendered. In the event any shares are issued for services rendered by management
they shall be issued in such an amount as the Board of Directors deems fair and
reasonable to the Company and its public shareholders and in compliance with
management's fiduciary duties under state law. Officers and directors will be
reimbursed for actual out-of-pocket expenses incurred on behalf of the Company
as approved by the Board of Directors.
Item 11. Security Ownership of Certain Beneficial Owners and Management.
The following table sets forth certain information as to the number of
shares of the Company's Common Stock deemed to be owned beneficially by each
person known by the Registrant to be deemed to be the beneficial owner of more
than 5% of the outstanding Common Stock, each of its executive officers and
directors, and all of its executive officers and directors as a group, at
September 9, 1998. Except as indicated in the footnote to this table, the
Company believes that the named persons have sole voting and investment power
with respect to the shares indicated:

Item 12. Certain Relationships and Related Transactions
No member of management nor controlling shareholder has had any
transactions with the Company during its past fiscal year, nor proposes any such
transactions, in which the amount involved exceeds $60,000.
In connection with its initial capitalization, the Company sold 12,500
shares of its Common Stock to its founding shareholders for an aggregate
consideration of $2,500 in cash.
In March 1998 the Company sold 40,000 shares of Common Stock to Lawrence
Kaplan, who then owned approximately 40% of the Company's Common Stock, for a
price of $.25 per share, which was the same price at which Mr. Kaplan purchased
a like amount of shares in July 1997.
Agreement for Clerical Services - Promoter. In fiscal 1994 the Company
retained Stanley Kaplan Management Consultants, Inc. ("SKMC") to provide
clerical and bookkeeping services to the Registrant for a fee of $50.00 per
month. The agreement between Mr. Kaplan and the Company was oral and was
terminable at will by either party. SKMC terminated such agreement effective
November 23, 1994. Stanley A. Kaplan, the president and sole shareholder of
SKMC, referred the Company to its legal counsel and auditor. Mr. Kaplan is not a
parent or control party of the Company. Inasmuch as Mr. Kaplan offered certain
advice to management in connection with the formation of the Company, he may be
deemed a "promoter" of the Company as that term is defined in Rule 405 of
Regulation C as promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission.
Mr. Kaplan has been the president and sole shareholder of SKMC, an
accounting firm, for at least the past ten years. Since January 1987, Mr. Kaplan
has also been an officer and director of Gro-Vest, Inc., a management consulting
firm.
On August 12, 1994, Mr. Kaplan settled, without admitting or denying any
allegations, a civil action brought against him by the Securities and Exchange
Commission relating to Atratech, Inc. The action charged Mr. Kaplan with certain
violations of the Securities Act of 1933 and the Securities Exchange Act of 1934
(the "Exchange Act"). As part of the settlement, Mr. Kaplan was permanently
restrained and enjoined from future violations of the securities laws and was
permanently barred from acting as an officer or director of any issuer that has
a class of securities registered under Section 12 of the Exchange Act or that is
required to file reports pursuant to Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act.
The Company neither has nor had any written or oral agreement or
understanding with Mr. Kaplan or SKMC regarding his services or participation in
connection with future mergers or acquisitions. Mr. Kaplan's firm had been
retained solely to provide clerical and bookkeeping services. If Mr. Kaplan
becomes aware of a merger or acquisition possibility he may or may not refer
such possibility to
19
<PAGE>
the Company's management for consideration. If Mr. Kaplan becomes aware of a
merger or acquisition possibility and refers it to the Company, the Company's
management will review such merger or acquisition possibility in the same manner
and with the same efforts as it reviews merger and acquisition possibilities
referred to it by other persons. The Company may agree to pay a finder's fee to
any non-management "finder", including Mr. Kaplan, in connection with an
acquisition or merger. Although there is no current intent, agreement,
understanding or expectation to do so, there exists the possibility that the
Company may ultimately acquire or merge with a business or property in which Mr.
Kaplan or his affiliates or associates have a beneficial interest. There is no
business or property in which Mr. Kaplan or his affiliates or associates have a
beneficial interest which is under consideration by the Company as a potential
acquisition or merger candidate.
