604,795 (8.1%) shares, respectively, of the 7,500,000 shares now outstanding
pursuant to their exchange of shares with the Registrant. In addition, Western
Financial Communications, Inc., an investor relations firm, acquired 1,200,000
(16.0%) shares from Dempsey Mork, the Registrant's former Chairman of the Board,
in a private transaction along with certain other non-affiliated persons for
cash and an agreement by Western Financial Communications to perform investor
relations for the Registrant until March 2001. There are no other 5% or greater
shareholders of the Registrant.
There are no arrangements or understandings among members of the former
and new control groups and their associates and no arrangements, which may
result in a subsequent change in control.
Item 2. Share Exchange/Merger.

of the Merger Agreement (a) the Registrant issued an aggregate of 3,605,205
shares of Common Stock, representing 48% of the shares outstanding after such
original issuance, to the stockholders of Wasatch and (b) Wasatch was merged
with and into the Registrant (the "Merger"). AG Holdings is the surviving
corporation, which has changed its name to Wasatch Interactive Learning
Corporation, a Washington corporation. The Certificate of Incorporation and

This report includes forward-looking statements relating to
the Company's operations that are based on Management's and
third parties' current expectations, estimates and
projections. Forward-looking statements discuss future
expectations, contain projections of results of operations or
financial condition and general business prospects. Words such
as "expect," "may," "will," "anticipates," "intends,"
"plans," "believes," "seeks," "estimates," and similar
expressions identify forward-looking statements. The
forward-looking statements in this report reflect the good
faith judgment of our management. However, forward-looking
statements can only be based on facts and factors currently
known. Consequently, these statements are not guarantees of
future performances and actual results could differ
materially.
The statements in this report regarding the Company's ability
to operate as a public company, to expand its marketing and
sales efforts, deliver services over the Internet, the size of
the market for the Company's services, the size of the
Internet marketplace and new products under development, are
all forward-looking statements that involve risks and
uncertainties. These risks and uncertainties include: the
Company's ability to market its products and services, the
timely development and acceptance of new products and
services, the impact of competitive products and pricing, the
timely funding of school budgets, customer payments to the
Company and other risks which will be detailed from time to
time in the Company's SEC reports.
Company
Background
The Company was formed in 1997 with the acquisition of the
exclusive distribution rights of over 1,000 instructional
hours of comprehensive educational software designed for
kindergarten through adults. This software developed by the
Company's principals, Barbara Morris and Carol Loomis, while
previously at Wasatch Education Systems ("WES") is effective
in a variety of learning settings, including public schools,
private schools, alternative education programs and adult
basic education sites. The Company also acquired an
established school customer base and access to proprietary
code and development tools.
The Company believes the Internet is an integral component in
improving academic skills in schools and through home access.
In preparation for Internet delivery, in 1998 the Company
completed a comprehensive R&D program including: othe upgrade
of the licensed WES products for Windows 95/98/NT, othe
development of a multimedia Internet Courseware Editor to
accelerate market release of new products and oan Internet
based management system to facilitate anywhere, anytime
learning.
The Company's expansive multimedia Internet Courseware Editor
enabled the 1999 release of over 400 hours of web-enabled,
comprehensive K-8 math software as well as a series of
interactive math tools. Management believes its web-enabled
software and Internet instructional management system gives
the Company a competitive advantage in all markets and a
significant advantage in the Internet educational software
market.
The Company's interactive, high-quality educational software,
including problem-solving, simulations, advanced on-line tools
and graphics, creates an exciting learning environment for
students and is well received by educators.
The Company is currently marketing to school sites in two
markets:
1. the "K-12 education market" and
2. the "adult education" market (including adult basic
education and "at-risk" teenagers).
Industry
Background
Education reform is forefront in America's mind. The U.S.
Department of Education says funding for education reform has
increased 584 percent since the mid-1990s. Federal funding for
instructional technology alone is estimated to be $1-1.5
billion annually, which is only 20-30 percent of the total
annual expenditure.

<PAGE>
Industry
Background
Parents, teachers and community leaders are demanding an even
greater expansion of technology-based resources in their
schools as virtually every state moves to implement new
standards including graduation exit exams. Charter schools and
homeschooling are alternatives increasing at tremendous rates,
creating an even greater need for effective, instructional
educational software.
Based on 1998 data from Quality Education Data, Inc. (QED),
the K-12 marketplace in the United States consists of
approximately 111,000 public and private schools. According to
the U.S. Department of Education, the number of students
enrolled in these schools was approximately 52.7 million in
1998 and is expected to increase to 54.3 million by 2008.
According to industry sources, U.S. educational technology
expenditures were $4.16 billion in 1997, representing less
than 1% of the education budget, and are expected to increase
to $9.88 billion by 2002. Moreover, the installed base of
computers in K-12 schools in the United States was 6.4 million
units in 1997 and is expected to grow to 13.7 million by 2002.
The educational technology expenditure in the adult basic
education market is currently estimated at approximately $2
billion, with significant growth expected as corporations seek
to educate the workforce and the nation focuses on preventing
recidivism in our over-populated prisons. The technology
expenditures from the homeschooling market is difficult to
accurately estimate, however 86% of homeschoolers use
computers and the number of homeschoolers is increasing
dramatically across the country.
This rapidly growing role of technology in the many education
marketplaces has created an increased demand for
technology-based educational software that motivates learners
and achieves results.
Markets
The educational software market can be divided into four
segments: the school marketplace, the adult basic education
marketplace, the homeschooling marketplace, and the Internet
marketplace, each described below.
School
Marketplace
In the school marketplace for educational technology, the
primary emphasis is on content and instructional methodology.
Product life spans are much greater than retail, marketing
costs are lower, and the greater emphasis on content and
instructional methodology means development costs are lower,
resulting in greater profitability.
The school market for educational software is large and
growing. Schools spend roughly $1.4 billion on educational
software and the installed base of computers is expected to
double by 2002. While many technology companies are attempting
to position themselves for this educational software
opportunity, none clearly dominates the market, leaving a
tremendous opportunity for companies with a comprehensive
offering of educational software products.
4
<PAGE>
Adult Education
Marketplace
Approximately 4 million adult education students take courses
at numerous public high schools, community colleges, adult
learning centers and correctional facilities each year. It is
estimated that over $2 billion is spent annually on
educational software for adult education programs in the
United States, which are growing dramatically as a result of a
variety of factors including:
o high illiteracy rates,
o high school dropouts establishing qualifications
for job opportunities,
o immigrant populations seeking to develop English
language skills,
o corporations trying to improve job performance,
o a requirement to qualify for welfare and
o preventation of recidivism in the nation's prisons.
Homeschooling
Marketplace
The homeschooling movement is growing at a significant rate
due, in part, to increased school violence, lowering opinions
of public education standards and the desire to protect
children from undesirable influences outside the home.
Virtually every state has annual statewide homeschooling and
family learning conferences and the Internet is providing a
burgeoning number of resources including chat rooms to support
homeschoolers. In some states, the public schools have
responsibility for monitoring the effectiveness of
homeschooling.
Homeschoolers have a great need for comprehensive, effective,
managed courseware based on sound educational research. At
this time no educational software company monopolizes this
market. This marketplace is accessible through conferences,
direct mail, advertising in specialized newsletters and
magazines and the Internet.
Internet
Marketplace
The home market for educational technology is rapidly growing.
Home PC use surpasses one billion hours per week with each PC
household using computers more than twenty (20) hours per
week. Educational use ranks third in importance and represents
71% of on-line use. (Source: Odyssey)
As more parents see PCs and educational software as possibly
the most important investment they can make for their
children, there is a very large revenue potential from the
on-line accessibility of educational software.
Internet-deliverable content is becoming a valuable commodity
as Internet companies are aggressively acquiring
content-providers. Wasatch is in the unique position of having
a broad range of educational content that is Internet
deliverable.
5
<PAGE>
Competition
The Company competes primarily on the basis of depth and
recognized quality of its courseware and its ability to
deliver a flexible, cost-effective solution for the client's
educational software needs.
School Market
Within the school marketplace, the Company competes most
directly with Computer Curriculum Corporation, a division of
Pearson Education; Jostens Learning, a division of WRC Media;
and Curriculum Advantage, a division of Havas Interactive. In
Management's opinion, the Company compares favorably to these
companies in number of products and product coverage with a
clear advantage in volume of new products, volume of products
Internet-enabled and price.
Adult Market
In the adult education marketplace, TRO Learning is one of the
Company's largest competitors. Pearson Education and
McGraw-Hill have acquired educational software companies that
compete in this market; however, no educational software
company dominates this rapidly growing market. The Company
believes its products are well positioned to compete favorably
in this market based on feedback and academic improvement
already achieved by its adult education customers.
In the opinion of Management, the Company products compete
favorably in quality and depth of coverage with much larger
companies and is ahead of its competitors in having products
that are Internet deliverable, an Internet based instructional
management system and a strategy for building an Internet
presence that will tap the tremendous future growth
opportunities.
Products
Overview

Distribution
The Company is one of the few companies in the school and
adult market with a comprehensive product offering for
improving academic skills. The Company has no exclusive
distribution agreements with larger publishers that might
restrict the future marketability of its products.
During 1997 and 1998, approximately 60% of the Company's
revenue came from Indiana, Ohio and Chicago; 25% from
Mississippi and Georgia; and 13% from California. The Company
has an established customer base in Chicago and California but
no direct sales representative.
Revenue Distribution by State
-----------------------------
Midwest (IN, OH & IL) 60%
South (GA, MS) 25%
West (CA) 13%
-------------------------------
IN, OH, CA, GA, MS & IL 98%
In Management's opinion, revenue distribution will be
comparable for 1999.
Domestic
The Company products are currently distributed through two (2)
employed direct sales representatives and two (2)
recently-engaged independent resellers. At present, the
Company is expanding its salesforce by adding 18 direct reps
and broadening its reseller channel.
The Company's current direct sales representatives service
Indiana, Ohio and Kentucky, with sporadic coverage in Michigan
and Georgia. The Company's current independent resellers
service Chicago and Dade County in Florida.
National
Accounts
The Company's products reach several other school districts
outside the territory range of the distribution mentioned
above, either through existing customer updates, customer
references or exposure at national conferences. In FY98,
Chicago Public Schools purchased approximately $250,000 of
Company products and services while districts in California
purchased approximately $200,000 of Company products through
direct purchases.
The Company's products are not being marketed internationally.
Summary
The Company has been successful in the above mentioned states
where its products are marketed. The Company currently has
distribution in five (5) states, with no distribution in the
other 45 states. Management believes that sales will rapidly
accelerate with a distribution channel marketing in the
additional 45 states where there is currently no exposure to
the Company's products.
Facilities
The Company operates from a 6,200-sq. ft. location in The
Atrium Building in Salt Lake City, Utah. Rent is $8,200 per
month with a lease that expires on March 31, 2002. The space
will accommodate 10-12 additional people.
