                           STATEMENT FOR SCHEDULE 13D

     This  Statement is filed by RAS Securities  Corp.,  a New York  corporation
("RAS"), to amend its Schedule 13D with respect to the common stock (the "Common
Stock") of Nationsmart  Corporation  (the "Issuer"),  whose principal  executive
office is located at 1164 Lilburn Park Road, St. Louis, Missouri 63146.


Item 3.  Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration.
 
     The  aggregate  purchase  price of the shares of the Issuer's  Common Stock
owned by RAS is approximately  $184,600. The shares of Common Stock owned by RAS
were acquired with corporate funds

Item 4.  Purpose of Transaction.

     In December 1993, RAS co-managed the Issuer's initial public offering,  and
has acted as a market  maker in its common  stock and  warrants.  Following  the
offering,  RAS became  disappointed with the Issuer's  performance and suggested
that the Issuer engage in one or more transactions, none of which occurred.

     RAS has no present plan or proposal  which would relate to or result in any
of the matters set forth in  subparagraphs  (a) - (j) of Item 4 of Schedule 13D.
RAS intends to review its  investment  in the Issuer on a continuing  basis and,
depending  on  various  factors  including,  without  limitation,  the  Issuer's
business affairs and financial  position,  the price levels of the Common Stock,
conditions  in  the  securities   markets  and  general  economic  and  industry
conditions,  may in the future take such actions with respect to RAS' investment
in the Issuer as it deems appropriate including, without limitation,  purchasing
additional shares of Common Stock and/or selling some or all of RAS' shares.


Item 5.  Interest in Securities of the Issuer.
 
     (a) The aggregate  percentage of shares of Common Stock  reported  owned by
RAS is based upon  5,686,226  shares  outstanding,  which is the total number of
shares of Common Stock outstanding as
