                                   PART II

                   INFORMATION NOT REQUIRED IN PROSPECTUS

Item 3.  Incorporation of Documents by Reference.

         The following documents filed by LS Capital Corporation (the "Company")
with the Securities and Exchange  Commission (the "Commission") are incorporated
herein by reference:

         (a)      The  Company's  Annual  Report on Form 10-K for the year ended
June 30, 1999 (file no.  0-21566), including all amendments;

         (b) The description of the Company's common stock,  $.01 per value (the
"Common  Stock"),  set forth under the caption  "Description of Common Stock" in
the  Company's  Registration  Statement  on Form 8-A dated April 16, 1993 (which
incorporates  such description in the Company's  Registration  Statement on Form
SB-2 (file no.  33-57998D),  as filed with the  Commission on March 29, 1993, as
amended) and all  amendments  and reports  filed  thereafter  for the purpose of
updating such description.

         All documents  subsequently  filed by the Company  pursuant to Sections
13(a),  13(c),  14 and 15(d) of the Securities  Exchange Act of 1934  ("Exchange
Act"), prior to the filing of a post-effective amendment that indicates that all
securities  offered hereby have been sold or which  de-registers  all securities
remaining unsold,  shall be deemed to be incorporated by reference herein and to
be a part hereof from the date of the filing of such document.

Item 4.  Description of Securities.

                  Not applicable.

Item 5.  Interests of Named Experts and Counsel.

                  Not applicable.

Item 6.  Indemnification of Directors and Officers.

         Section  145  of  the  Delaware  General   Corporation  Law  permits  a
corporation  to indemnify  any person who was or is party or is threatened to be
made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding,
whether civil, criminal,  administrative or investigative, by reason of the fact
that he is or was a director,  officer,  employee or agent of the corporation or
is or was serving at the  request of the  corporation  as a  director,  officer,
employee or agent of another corporation,  partnership,  joint venture, trust or
other  enterprise,  against  expenses,  judgments,  fines  and  amounts  paid in
settlement  actually  and  reasonably  incurred by him in  connection  with such
action.

         In an action brought to obtain a judgment in the  corporation's  favor,
whether  by  the  corporation  itself  or  derivatively  by a  stockholder,  the
corporation may only indemnify for expenses, including attorney's fees, actually
and  reasonably  incurred in  connection  with the defense or settlement of such
action,  and the  corporation may not indemnify for amounts paid in satisfaction
of  a  judgment  or  in  settlement  of  the  claim.  In  any  such  action,  no
indemnification may be paid in respect of any claim, issue or matter as to which
such  person  shall  have  been  adjudged  liable to the  corporation  except as
otherwise  approved by the Delaware  Court of Chancery or the court in which the
claim was brought.  In any other type of  proceeding,  the  indemnification  may
extend  to  judgments,  fines  and  amounts  paid in  settlement,  actually  and
reasonably  incurred in  connection  with such other  proceeding,  as well as to
expenses.

         The statute does not permit  indemnification  unless the person seeking
indemnification  has acted in good faith and in a manner  the person  reasonably
believed to be in, or not opposed to, the best interests of the corporation and,
in the case of criminal  actions or  proceedings,  the person had no  reasonable
cause to believe his  conduct was  unlawful.  The  statute  contains  additional
limitations  applicable to criminal  actions and to actions brought by or in the
name of the  corporation.  The  determination  as to  whether  a person  seeking
indemnification  has met the required standard of conduct is to be made (1) by a
majority  vote of a quorum of  disinterested  members of the board of directors,
(2) by independent legal counsel in a written opinion, if such a quorum does not
exist or if the disinterested directors so direct, or (3) by the stockholders.

         The  Company's  Bylaws  require the Company to indemnify  the Company's
directors and officers to the fullest extent  authorized by the Delaware General
Corporation Law or any other applicable law in effect. The Company's Certificate
of Incorporation  limits the personal liability of a director to the corporation
or its stockholders to damages for breach of the director's fiduciary duty.

Item 7.  Exemption from Registration Claimed.

                  Not applicable.

Item 9.  Undertakings

                  (a)      The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes:

                  (1) To file,  during  any  period in which the offers or sales
                  are being made, a post-effective amendment to this
                  registration statement:

                           (i)  To include any  prospectus  required by section
                  10(a)(3) of the Securities Act of 1933 (the "Act");

                           (ii) To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events
                  arising after the effective date of the registration statement
                  (or the most recent  post-effective  amendment thereof) which,
                  individually  or in the  aggregate,  represent  a  fundamental
                  change  in the  information  set  forth  in  the  registration
                  statement;

                           (iii)  To  include  any  material   information  with
                  respect to the plan of distribution  not previously  disclosed
                  in the  registration  statement or any material change to such
                  information in the registration statement.

                  (2) That, for the purpose of determining  any liability  under
the  Act,  each  such  post-effective  amendment  shall  be  deemed  to be a new
registration  statement  relating to the  securities  offered  therein,  and the
offering of such  securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona
fide offering thereof; and

                  (3) To remove from  registration by means of a  post-effective
amendment  any of the  securities  being  registered  which remain unsold at the
termination of the offering.

         (b) The undersigned  registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of
determining any liability under the Act, each filing of the registrant's  annual
report  pursuant to Section  13(a) or Section  15(d) of the Exchange Act that is
incorporated by reference in the registration  statement shall be deemed to be a
new registration  statement relating to the securities offered therein,  and the
offering of such  securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona
fide offering thereof.

         (c) Insofar as  indemnification  for liabilities  arising under the Act
may  be  permitted  to  directors,  officers  and  controlling  persons  of  the
registrant pursuant to the foregoing  provisions,  or otherwise,  the registrant
has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities  and Exchange  Commission
such  indemnification  is against  public policy as expressed in the Act and is,
therefore,  unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against
such liabilities  (other than the payment by the registrant of expenses incurred
or paid by a director,  officer or  controlling  person of the registrant in the
successful  defense of any  action,  suit or  proceeding)  is  asserted  by such
director,  officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being
registered, the registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter
has been  settled by  controlling  precedent,  submit to a court of  appropriate
jurisdiction the questions whether such  indemnification by it is against public
policy as expressed in the Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of
such issue.

                                 SIGNATURES

The Registrant

         Pursuant  to the  requirements  of the  Securities  Act  of  1933,  the
registrant certifies that it has reasonable grounds to believe that it meets all
of the requirement for filing on Form S-8 and has duly caused this  registration
statement  to be  signed  on its  behalf  by  the  undersigned,  thereunto  duly
authorized, in the City of Dublin, Ireland on February 14, 2000.

                           LS CAPITAL CORPORATION

                   YEAR 2000 CONSULTANT COMPENSATION PLAN

1.       Purpose

         The Year 2000 Consultant  Compensation Plan (the "Plan") is intended to
promote  the  interests  of  LS  Capital   Corporation   and  its   subsidiaries
(collectively the  "Corporation")  by offering those outside  consultants of the
Corporation  who assist in the  development  and success of the  business of the
Corporation,  the opportunity to participate in a compensation  plan designed to
reward  them for their  services  and to  encourage  them to continue to provide
services to the Corporation.

2.       Definitions

         For all  purposes  of this Plan,  the  following  terms  shall have the
following meanings:

         "Common  Stock" means LS Capital  Corporation  common  stock,  $.01 par
value.

         "Conditional  Shares"  means shares of Common Stock  awarded under this
Plan subject to conditions  imposed by the Committee (as defined  herein) or the
conditions set forth in Section 6.2 or both.

         "Discounted  Purchase  Shares"  means shares of Common Stock sold under
this Plan at a discount from the Common Stock's then current market price.

         "LS Capital" means LS Capital Corporation, a Delaware corporation.

         "Subsidiary"  means any company of which LS Capital  Corporation  owns,
directly or indirectly, the majority of the combined voting power of all classes

Plan subject to no conditions.

3.       Administration

         The Plan shall be administered by a committee (the  "Committee") of not
less than two  directors of LS Capital  selected by, and serving at the pleasure
of, LS Capital's Board of Directors (the "LS Capital Board").

         LS Capital or any Subsidiary will recommend to the Committee persons to
whom shares may be awarded or may be sold at a  discount.  The  Committee  shall
make all final  decisions  with  respect to the persons to whom awards  shall be

respective  boards of LS Capital and all  Subsidiaries  involved in the award or
sale will fund the Plan to the extent so  required to provide  Common  Stock for
the benefit of  Participants.  The total  number of shares of Common Stock which
may be granted or sold under this Plan shall not exceed 10,000,000 shares in the

                  The Committee may award to Participants  Unconditional  Shares
and  Conditional  Shares.  The Committee  will  determine  for each  Participant
selected to be awarded  Unconditional  Shares and Conditional Shares the time or
times when  Unconditional  Shares or Conditional Shares shall be awarded and the
number of shares of Common Stock to be covered by each  Unconditional  Shares or
Conditional Share award. Unless expressly specified as Conditional Shares by the
Committee,  all  shares  of  Common  Stock  awarded  under  this  Plan  shall be
Unconditional  Shares.  No Unconditional  Shares or Conditional  Shares shall be
awarded  unless LS Capital (in the judgement of the Committee) has received from
the  Participant  either (a) a full  performance  of the  services for which the
Unconditional  Shares or  Conditional  Shares  are being  awarded,  or (b) (i) a
partial  performance  of the  services  for  which the  Unconditional  Shares or
Conditional  Shares are being awarded and the value of such partial  performance
(in the judgement of the Committee) equals or exceeds the aggregate par value of
the Unconditional  Shares or Conditional Shares to be awarded and (ii) a binding
obligation  from the  Participant  to provide in the future the remainder of the
services  for which the  Unconditional  Shares or  Conditional  Shares are being
awarded.  In addition to awarding  Unconditional  Shares and Conditional Shares,
the Committee may sell to Participants  Discounted Purchase Shares, for purchase
prices at such discounts from the then current market price of the Common Stock,
and upon such terms and conditions, as the Committee shall determine.

         6.2      Conditions

                  Shares  of  Common  Stock  issued  to  a   Participant   as  a
Conditional Shares award will be subject to the following  conditions as well as
all other conditions imposed by the Committee ("Share Conditions"):

                  (a) Except as set forth in  Paragraphs  6.4 and 6.5,  if Share
         Conditions are not satisfied,  Conditional Shares will be forfeited and
         returned  to LS Capital or, in the event such  Conditional  Shares were
         provided to the  Participant  from shares of Common Stock  purchased by
         the  Subsidiary,  then the  Conditional  Shares will be returned to the
         Subsidiary.  In either  case,  all  rights of the  Participant  to such
         Conditional  Shares will terminate without any payment of consideration
         by  LS  Capital  or  the  Subsidiary  with  which  the  Participant  is
         associated,  unless the Participant  maintains his association  with LS
         Capital or a Subsidiary  for the period of time (if any)  determined by
         the Committee.

                  (b) During the condition period ("Condition  Period") relating
         to a Conditional Share award, none of the Conditional Shares subject to
         such award may be sold,  assigned,  bequeathed,  transferred,  pledged,
         hypothecated or otherwise disposed of in any way by the Participant.

                  (c) The Committee may require the Participant to enter into an
         escrow   agreement   providing  that  the   certificates   representing
         Conditional  Shares sold or granted pursuant to the Plan will remain in
         the physical  custody of LS Capital or the applicable  Subsidiary or an
         escrow holder during the Condition Period.

                  (d)  Certificates  representing  Conditional  Shares  sold  or
         granted  pursuant to the Plan may bear a legend  making an  appropriate
         reference to the conditions imposed on the Conditional Shares.

                  (e)  The  Committee   may  impose  other   conditions  on  any
         Conditional  Shares  issued  pursuant  to  the  Plan  as  it  may  deem
         advisable,  including  without  limitations,   restrictions  under  the
         Securities Act of 1933, as amended, under the requirements of any stock
         exchange  upon  which  such  share or shares of the same class are then
         listed and under any state  securities  laws or other  securities  laws
         applicable to such shares.

         6.3      Rights of a Stockholder

                  Except as set forth in Paragraph  6.2(b),  the  recipient of a
Conditional  Share  award  will have all of the  rights of a  stockholder  of LS
Capital with respect to the Conditional Shares,  including the right to vote the
Conditional Shares and to receive all dividends or other distributions made with
respect to the Conditional Shares.

         6.4      Lapse of Conditions

                  In  the  event  of  the   termination   of  association  of  a
Participant  during  the  Condition  Period by reason of death,  disability,  or
termination of association,  the Committee may, at its discretion,  remove Share
Conditions on Conditional Shares.

                  Conditional  Shares to which the Share  Conditions have not so
lapsed  will be  forfeited  and  returned  to the  Corporation  as  provided  in
Paragraph 6.2(a).

         6.5      Lapse of Conditions at Discretion of the Committee

                  The Committee  may shorten the Condition  Period or remove any
or all Share  Conditions  if, in the  exercise of its  absolute  discretion,  it
determines  that such action is in the best  interests  of the  Corporation  and
equitable to the Participant..

         6.6      Listing and Registration of Shares

                  LS Capital  may, in its  reasonable  discretion,  postpone the
issuance  and/or delivery of any shares of Common Stock awarded or sold pursuant
to this Plan until completion of stock exchange  listing,  or  registration,  or
other qualification of such shares under any law, rule or regulation.

         6.7      Designation of Beneficiary

                  A  Participant   may,  with  the  consent  of  the  Committee,
designate a person or persons to receive,  in the event of death,  any shares of
Common Stock to which such Participant  would then be entitled  pursuant to this
Plan. Such  designation will be made upon forms supplied by and delivered to the
Committee  and may be revoked in writing by the  Participant.  If a  Participant
fails  effectively to designate a beneficiary,  then such  Participant's  estate
will be deemed to be the beneficiary.

7.       Capital Adjustments

         The  number and  consideration  of Common  Stock  covered by each award
granted or each sale under this Plan and the total  number of shares that may be
granted or sold  under the Plan shall be  proportionally  adjusted  to  reflect,
subject to any required  action by  stockholders,  any stock  dividend or split,
recapitalization,  merger, consolidation, spin-off, reorganization,  combination
or exchange of shares or other similar corporate change.

8.       Change of Control

         Notwithstanding  the  provisions of Section 7, in the event of a change
of control,  all Share  Conditions  on all  Conditional  Shares will lapse.  For
purposes of this plan,  a "Change of  Control" of LS Capital  shall be deemed to
have  occurred at such time as (a) any "person" (as that term is used in Section
13(d) and 14(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934), becomes the "beneficial
owner"  (as  defined  in Rule  13d-3  under  the  foregoing  act),  directly  or
indirectly, of securities of LS Capital representing 30% or more of the combined
voting power of LS Capital's outstanding  securities ordinarily having the right
to vote at the election of directors;  or (b)  individuals who constitute the LS
Capital Board on the date hereof (the  "Incumbent  Board") cease for any reasons
to constitute at least a majority  thereof,  provided that any person becoming a
director subsequent to the date hereof whose election was approved by at least a
majority of the directors comprising the Incumbent Board, or whose nomination or
election was  approved by a majority of the LS Capital  Board  serving  under an
Incumbent Board, shall be, for purposes of this clause (b),  considered as if he
or she were a member of the Incumbent  Board;  or (c) merger,  consolidation  or
sale of all or  substantially  all the assets of LS Capital occurs,  unless such
merger  or  consolidation  shall  have  been  affirmatively  recommended  to  LS
Capital's  stockholders  by a majority of the  Incumbent  Board;  or (d) a proxy
statement  soliciting proxies from stockholders of LS Capital,  by someone other
than the current management of LS Capital seeking stockholder approval of a plan
of  reorganization,  merger  or  consolidation  of LS  Capital  with one or more
corporations  as a result  of  which  the  outstanding  shares  of LS  Capital's
securities  are actually  exchanged  for or  converted  into cash or property or
securities  not  issued  by LS  Capital  unless  the  reorganization,  merger or
consolidation  shall  have  been  affirmatively   recommended  to  LS  Capital's
stockholders by a majority of the Incumbent Board.

9.       Approvals

         The issuance of shares  pursuant to this Plan is expressly  conditioned
upon obtaining all necessary  approvals from all regulatory  agencies from which
approval is required.

10.      Effective Date of Plan

         The effective date of the Plan is January 27, 2000.

11.      Term and Amendment of Plan

         This Plan  shall  expire on January  27,  2010  (except to  Conditional
Shares  outstanding  on that date).  LS Capital Board may terminate or amend the
Plan in any respect at any time,  except no action of the LS Capital Board,  the
Committee or LS Capital's  stockholders,  however, may, without the consent of a
Participant,  alter or impair such  Participant's  rights under any  Conditional
Shares previously granted.

12.      No Right of Association

         Neither  the action of LS Capital in  establishing  this Plan,  nor any
action taken by any LS Capital Board or any Subsidiary or the Committee, nor any
provision of the Plan  itself,  shall be construed to limit in any way the right
of LS Capital to terminate a Participant's  association  with the Corporation at
any time.

13.      Withholding Taxes

         LS Capital or any  Subsidiary,  as applicable,  shall have the right to
deduct  withholding taxes from any payments made pursuant to the Plan or to make
such other  provisions  as it deems  necessary  or  appropriate  to satisfy  its
obligations to withhold  federal,  state or local income or other taxes incurred
by reason of payment or the  issuance of Common  Stock under the Plan.  Whenever
under the Plan,  Common  Stock is to be delivered  upon  vesting of  Conditional
Shares,  the  Committee  shall be entitled to require as a condition of delivery
that  the  Participant  remit  or  provide  for  the  withholding  of an  amount
sufficient to satisfy all federal,  state and other  government  withholding tax
requirements related thereto.

14.      Plan not a Trust

         Nothing  contained in the Plan and no action taken pursuant to the Plan
shall  create or be  construed  to create a trust of any  kind,  or a  fiduciary
relationship,  between  the  Corporation  and  any  Participant,  the  executor,
administrator  or other personal  representative,  or designated  beneficiary of
such  Participant,  or  any  other  persons.  If  and to  the  extent  that  any
Participant  or such  Participant's  executor,  administrator  or other personal
representative, as the case may be, acquires a right to receive any payment from
the  Corporation  pursuant to the Plan,  such right shall be no greater than the
right of an unsecured general creditor of the Corporation.

15.      Notices

         Each Participant shall be responsible for furnishing the Committee with
the current and proper address for the mailing of notices and delivery of Common
Stock pursuant to the Plan. Any notices  required or permitted to be given shall
be deemed given if addressed to the person to be notified at such address  given
to the  Committee  by such  person  and mailed by regular  United  States  mail,
first-class  and  prepaid.  If any item  mailed to such  address is  returned as
undeliverable to the addressee,  mailing will be suspended until the Participant
furnishes the proper address. This provision shall not be construed as requiring
the mailing of any notice or  notification  if such notice is not required under
the terms of the Plan or any applicable law.

16.      Severability of Provisions

         If any provisions of this Plan shall be held invalid or  unenforceable,
such  invalidity  or  unenforceability  shall not  affect  any other  provisions
hereof,  and this Plan shall be construed and enforced as if such provisions had
not been included.

17.      Payment to Minors, etc.

         Any benefit  payable to or for the benefit of a minor,  an  incompetent
person or other person  incapable of  receipting  therefor  shall be deemed paid
when  paid to such  person's  guardian  or the  party  providing  or  reasonably
appearing to provide for the care of such person,  and such payment  shall fully
discharge the Committee, the LS Capital Board, the Corporation and other parties
with respect thereto.

18.      Headings and Captions

         The  headings  and  captions  herein are  provided  for  reference  and
convenience  only,  shall not be considered  part of the Plan,  and shall not be
employed in the construction of the Plan.

19.      Controlling Law

         This Plan shall be construed and enforced  according to the laws of the
State of Texas to the extent not preempted by federal law, which shall otherwise
control.

20.      Enforcement of Rights

         In the event the  Corporation or a Participant is required to bring any
action  to  enforce  the  terms of this  Plan,  the  prevailing  party  shall be
reimbursed by the non-prevailing  party for all costs and fees, including actual
attorney fees, for bringing and pursuing such action.

                             Opinion of Counsel

                              February 14, 2000


United States Securities and Exchange Commission
450 Fifth Street N.W.

Washington, D.C. 20549

         RE:      Registration Statement on Form S-8
                  Under the Securities Act of 1933

Gentlemen:

         I  have  acted  as  counsel  for LS  Capital  Corporation,  a  Delaware
corporation (the "Company"), in connection with the registration with the United
States Securities and Exchange  Commission (the  "Commission") on a Registration
Statement  on Form S-8  under  the  Securities  Act of 1933 of up to  10,000,000
shares of the common stock, par value $.01 per share (the "Common Stock"), which
may be issued pursuant to the terms, provisions and conditions of the LS Capital
Corporation Year 2000 Consultant Compensation Plan (the "Plan").

         In such capacity,  I have examined  originals,  or copies  certified or
otherwise identified to my satisfaction, of the following documents:

         1.       Certificate of Incorporation of the Company, as amended to
                  date;

         2.       Bylaws of the Company, as amended to date;

         3.       The Plan;

         4.       The  records of  corporate  proceedings  relating to the
                  authorization  of the Plan; and

         5.       Such  other  instruments  and  documents  as I have  deemed
                  necessary  for the purpose of rendering the following opinion.

         In such  examination,  I have assumed the authenticity and completeness
of all documents,  certificates  and records  submitted to me as originals,  the
conformity  to the  original  instruments  of all  documents,  certificates  and
records submitted to me as copies,  and the authenticity and completeness of the
originals of such  instruments.  As to certain  matters of fact relating to this
opinion,  I have relied on the  accuracy and  truthfulness  of  certificates  of
officers of the Company and on certificates of public  officials,  and have made
such investigations of law as I have deemed necessary and relevant.

         Based  on  the  foregoing,   and  having  due  regard  for  such  legal
considerations as I believe relevant,  I am of the opinion that the Common Stock
has been  duly and  validly  authorized  by the  Company  and,  when  issued  in
accordance  with the  Plan,  will be duly and  validly  issued,  fully  paid and
non-assessable.

         I hereby  consent to the filing of this opinion with the  Commission as
Exhibit 5.1 to the  Registration  Statement  pursuant to which the Common  Stock
will be registered with the Commission.

                                    Very truly yours,

                                    /S/ Randall W. Heinrich
