PART I
ITEM 1. BUSINESS
GENERAL DEVELOPMENT OF BUSINESS
Rockport Healthcare Group, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the "Company"
or "Rockport"), formerly Protokopos Corporation, was incorporated on May 4,
1992. The Company had no operating history other than organizational matters
until December 17, 1997, at which time the Company acquired all of the issued
and outstanding common stock of Rockport Group of Texas, Inc. Protokopos
Corporation was originally formed specifically to be a "clean public shell" for
the purpose of either merging with or acquiring an operating company with
operating history and assets.
On December 17, 1997, the shareholders of Rockport Group of Texas, Inc.
approved a merger with Protokopos Corporation ("the merger"). Pursuant to the
merger agreement, each outstanding share of Rockport, par value $1 per share,
was converted to the right to receive 961.6213 shares of Protokopos Corporation,
par value $.001 per share. After the completion of the Merger, Protokopos
Corporation changed its name to Rockport Healthcare Group, Inc. At the
conclusion of the Merger, the Company had 2,461,472 shares of common stock
outstanding.
In late November 1998, the Company filed its Form 211 and received its
clearance letter from the National Association of Securities Dealers ("NASD") on
January 20, 1999, to begin trading its stock via the OTC Bulletin Board. The
Company began trading on the OTC Bulletin Board under the symbol "RPHL" on
February 12, 1999.
The executive offices of the Company are located at 50 Briar Hollow
Lane, Suite 515W, Houston, Texas 77027. Its telephone number is (713) 621-9424
and its fax number is (713) 621-9492.
PLAN OF OPERATION - GENERAL
The Company has been established as a holding company to develop and/or
acquire business entities which deliver comprehensive, integrated products
and/or services to targeted healthcare populations. These products and services
include, but are not limited to, medical healthcare networks for workers'
compensation injuries and rehabilitation, individual and group medical networks
for accidents and illnesses, medical networks for catastrophic illnesses and
injuries and access to national medical, dental, prescription, chiropractic and
vision networks via private label or retail medical access savings cards. The
goal of the Company is to develop and deliver high value, quality healthcare
services and programs that create provider and customer satisfaction as well as
result in appropriate financial return to investors in the Company. The Company
has commenced revenue-generating operations in the workers' compensation
networks and medical access savings cards during the year ended March 31, 1999.
The Company has been able to retain the services of key management
personnel and develop critical infrastructure components including information
and data management, customer services, provider credentialing and contracting,
claims review and re-pricing systems. During the year ended March 31, 1999, the
Company acquired a wholly owned Texas based preferred provider organization
("PPO") having contracts with 65 hospitals and 8,000 providers. It has also
negotiated access agreements with hospitals and providers in California,
Indiana, Louisiana, Ohio and Oklahoma as part of its development plan to create
a nationwide PPO network. Negotiations have begun with hospitals and providers
in Arkansas, Georgia, Florida and Mississippi to add these states to the
nationwide network.

<PAGE>
The healthcare providers selected by the Company to join its networks
have been selected based on their clinical qualifications and their adherence to
the standards of care and service developed by the Company. The product provided
to the payors and/or consumers is a network of exclusive, high quality providers
organized to facilitate the delivery of a full continuum of integrated
healthcare services. The network of providers is geographically appropriate,
accessible and consumer friendly. Care is approached as an "episodic situation"
that groups related diagnoses and treatment services provided as collective
events. Treatment outcomes are monitored, documented and reported. Results of
these activities are utilized in improving all of the processes necessary to
ensure high quality network development, care management, prevention and health
education programs. Building on the experience of the Company's leadership and
implementing the processes and procedures established by the Company, products
and services would meet or exceed the requirements of the healthcare purchasers.
The following six subsidiaries comprise the specific business units of
the Company for implementation of its business plan. The entities are linked
through core management functions and overseen by the senior management team of
the Company. Of these business entities, the Company developed five since
November 1997 and acquired one on September 14, 1998, with the issuance of
100,000 shares of the Company's SEC Rule 144 restricted common stock.
ROCKPORT ADVANCED CARE, INC. Rockport Advanced Care, Inc. ("RAC") was
incorporated in the State of Nevada on March 19, 1998, and is a wholly owned
subsidiary of the Company. RAC will be a nationwide catastrophic illness and
injury network comprised of providers of disease, illness and injury-specific
tertiary and quartinary care which includes trauma, burns, transplants, hearts,
high-risk maternal, perinatal and neonatal, cancer, neurological and
gastrointestinal care. Contracting for this network will begin during 1999 with
final completion during the year 2000.
ROCKPORT COMMUNITY NETWORK, INC. Rockport Community Network, Inc.
("RCN") was incorporated in the State of Nevada on November 14, 1997 and is a
wholly owned subsidiary of the Company. RCN is a preferred provider organization
that develops and operates national networks to serve the workers' compensation
markets. The provider networks are marketed to organizations including, but not
limited to, third party administrators, managed care organizations, insurers,
case and utilization management companies and self-funded employers. RCN will
accelerate its national growth by acquiring, creating joint ventures and/or
contracting with quality regional and local PPO's).
Fees for use of RCN's networks will be based on fixed amounts per
covered individual per month or as a percentage of savings; i.e., the difference
between billed charges for healthcare services and the rates contracted by RCN.
RCN currently has nine network access agreements with access to networks in all
fifty states. RCN has three client agreements for use of its networks and is in
final negotiations with five other clients with all agreements expected to be
completed by August 1999.
ROCKPORT OCCUPATIONAL NETWORK, INC. Rockport Occupational Network, Inc.
("RON") was incorporated in the State of Nevada on March 19, 1998, and is a
wholly owned subsidiary of the Company. RON is an equity-model exclusive
provider organization ("EPO") specializing in providing workers' compensation
health services. The primary care physicians will own a minority interest of the
local network with RON owning the balance of 80% or more. The goal of RON is to
properly align the incentives for the employers, providers, employees and RON to
significantly reduce the costs of occupational illnesses and injuries. RON is
currently developing a network of quality providers to deliver and manage a full
consortium of integrated occupational medical services encompassing an injured
worker's entire episode of care from injury through rehabilitation and return to
work.
ROCKPORT PREFERRED, INC. Rockport Preferred, Inc. ("RP") was
incorporated in the State of Nevada on February 19, 1999, and is a wholly owned
subsidiary of the Company. RP is an organization providing discounts on quality
medical and healthcare services through membership and/or purchase of a private
label or retail medical access savings card. Benefits through private label
cards are available to large employee groups
3
<PAGE>
and/or associations and individuals that do not have sufficient insurance
coverage through their employer or Medicare or are unable to obtain
insurance. They can be custom tailored in terms of programs and personalized
to reflect sponsors and/or endorsers. Most typically, the card may provide up
to a 30% reduction on services such as prescriptions, vision, dental,
chiropractic and hearing for an annual fee of $120. Physicians are added to
the program for an additional fee of $60 per year for a total fee of $180 per
year. While the employee or consumer enjoys significant savings, the employer
is provided with solutions for administration of multiple benefit networks
through single source accountability, fee reconciliation, geo-mapping, etc.
It is estimated there are 110 million individuals in the United States
who are either uninsured, underinsured or uninsurable. The card will afford
discounted healthcare goods and services throughout the United States provided
by physicians, healthcare facilities, prescriptions, dentists, chiropractors,
vision care and hearing providers. The Company began selling the card during the
second calendar quarter of 1999 and has received a tremendous response from
those presented with the medical access savings card literature.
ROCKPORT GROUP OF TEXAS, INC. Rockport Group of Texas, Inc. ("RGT") is
a business entity which provides the managed care support services to its sister
companies and to the healthcare industry. It houses the support services of all

services, doctor and provider referrals, contracting providers and payors,

medical access savings card account enrollments.
NEWTON HEALTHCARE NETWORK, LLC. Newton Healthcare Network, LLC
("Newton") is a Texas limited liability company formed on January 2, 1997.
Newton is a preferred provider organization network for individual and group
healthcare benefits which currently provides statewide coverage within Texas
through a network of approximately 65 hospitals and 8,000 healthcare providers.
During the second calendar quarter of 1999, the Company intends to begin
actively marketing Newton's accident and health network to insurance companies
and other payors to provide premier services for its clients needing quality and
cost containment for their health and medical benefits programs.
COMPETITION
The managed healthcare industry and the Company's markets are highly
competitive. Healthcare, despite a continually changing reimbursement formula
and ten-year decline in net margins, continues to be this country's most
competitive industry. Quality and price of services and products, however,
continue to be distinguishing factors that customers and consumers will seek out
and purchase. The Company will compete by delivering comprehensive, integrated
services and/or products to defined healthcare populations with excellent
customer services and extremely competitive pricing. There are many managed
healthcare organizations, including many that are larger and have financial
resources significantly greater than the Company's.
The Company anticipates it will only participate in one business
industry, the managed healthcare industry. This lack of diversification should
be considered a substantial risk in investing in the Company because it will not
permit the Company to offset potential losses from one venture against gains
from another. For several years the Federal government has proposed various
forms of national health insurance. Should a comprehensive national health
insurance program be enacted, the Company would have to modify its business plan
accordingly.
EMPLOYEES
At March 31, 1999, the Company employed seven full time individuals,
six in Houston, Texas and one in Monument, Colorado. None of the Company's
employees are represented by a labor union, and the Company considers its
relations with its employees to be good. The Company intends to add additional
personnel and/or sub-contract through independent contractors as operations
demand.

ITEM 5. MARKET FOR REGISTRANT'S COMMON EQUITY AND RELATED STOCKHOLDER MATTERS
The Company's common stock began trading on the OTC Bulletin Board
under the symbol "RPHL" on February 12, 1999. During the period February 12,
1999, through and including March 31, 1999, the high and low sales prices for
the Company's common stock were $9 and $3, respectively. The quotations reflect
inter-dealer prices, without retail mark-up, mark-down or commission and may not

337 stockholders of record of the Company's common stock. No dividends have been
paid in the history of the Company. The Company does not anticipate paying
dividends in the near future until such time the Company has sufficient cash
flow from operations to justify payment of a dividend. On December 17, 1997,
Protokopos Corporation acquired all of the issued and outstanding common stock
of Rockport Group of Texas, Inc. in exchange for 1,442,432 shares of common

ITEM 6. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS AND
FINANCIAL CONDITION
The following discussion of the results of operations and financial
condition of Rockport Healthcare Group, Inc. for the years in the two year
period ended March 31, 1999 should be read in conjunction with the Company's
Financial Statements and related notes thereto and schedules included elsewhere
herein.
OVERVIEW
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS - YEARS ENDED MARCH 31, 1999 AND 1998
REVENUE. Total revenue increased by $11,539, or 36%, to $43,828 in 1999
from $32,289 in 1998. Network access fees increased from zero in 1998 to $43,828
in 1999. Consulting fees in 1998 were $32,289 and there were no consulting fees
in 1999.
During 1999, the Company concentrated its efforts in developing
workers' compensation healthcare networks in various states and seeking out
various types of organizations to utilize the Company's healthcare networks. The
Company receives fees from companies who access and utilize its networks and
receives a fixed amount per covered individual per month or a percentage of the
cost savings achieved by the utilizing company as compared to its total cost of
the previous year. The Company intends to continue to expand its workers'
compensation networks in other states through contracting and acquisitions and
add additional companies throughout the United States to utilize its networks.
The Company has developed a medical access savings card, which among
other things allows the holder of the card the right to access national networks
in the areas of physicians, dentists, prescriptions, vision, hearing,
chiropractic and a 24-hour nurse "hot-line". The medical access savings card was
developed for those individuals who cannot afford medical insurance, are
uninsurable or require a supplement to their current medical insurance plan. By
accessing the networks provided by the medical access savings card, the holders
of the cards obtain national discounts of care providers' rates over the
non-contracted rates. The holder of the medical access savings card pays an
annual fee to the Company for the use of the card and the Company shares a
portion of the fee with the networks accessed by the medical access savings
card.
On September 14, 1998, the Company acquired 100% of the membership
interests of Newton Healthcare Network, LLC ("Newton") through the issuance of
100,000 shares of SEC Rule 144 Company restricted common stock. Newton is a
statewide preferred provider organization with contracts with 65 hospitals and
8,000 providers. This acquisition allows the Company to enter the accident and
health area of the healthcare industry. The Company intends to expand Newton's
network to include all states and to begin actively marketing Newton's accident
and health network to insurance companies and other payors to provide premier
services for its clients needing quality and cost containment for their health
and medical benefits programs.
The Company sees significant revenue growth from the utilization of its
workers' compensation networks, medical access savings cards and accident and
health networks over the next twelve month period and will dedicate a
significant portion of its future funding to developing these products.
COST OF SALES. Cost of sales increased to $3,097 in 1999. There were no
cost of sales during 1998. This was comprised primarily of fees the Company pays
for accessing other healthcare networks and commissions.
GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES. General and administrative
expenses increased by $1,257,150, or 277%, to $1,710,216 in 1999 from $453,066
in 1998. The primary reason for this increase was due to only five months of
general and administrative expenses included in the period ended March 31, 1998,
and twelve
6
<PAGE>
months of expenses included in the year ended March 31, 1999. Increased
staffing and associated expenses to implement the Company's business plan
were the primary reasons for the increase.
DEPRECIATION AND AMORTIZATION EXPENSES. Depreciation and amortization
expenses increased by $174,625 to $181,638 in 1999 from $7,013 in 1998. The
Company obtained loans during 1999 to fund its operations. Three loans
totalling $400,000 granted the makers of the loans 400,000 shares of the
Company's SEC Rule 144 restricted common stock. The fair market value of the
common stock issued on the date of issuance has been capitalized as loan
costs and is being amortized over the term of the loans. The total amount of
the loan costs amortized during the period ended March 31, 1999, was $166,944.
INTEREST EXPENSE. Interest expense increased by $15,513, or 610%, to
$20,179 in 1999 from $4,666 in 1998. This increase was a result of accrued
interest payable on the loans received by the Company during 1999.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
The Company is a developmental stage company and, as such, requires
additional outside capital to implement its business plan. The Company has
funded its operations through the sale of Company common stock, borrowing funds
from outside sources and conversion of employee and director debt to common
stock of the Company. The Company has an agreement with an outside firm whereby
the firm is to sell 1,000,000 shares of the Company's common stock under SEC
Rule 144 for total proceeds to the Company of $1,000,000. As of March 31, 1999,
the Company had received proceeds from the sale of the Company's common stock of
$219,000 with an additional amount due of $1,086,487 after revisions to the
agreement. It is anticipated the balance of the funding from the sale of Company
common stock will be received during the second and third calendar quarters of
1999.
Should the Company not be able to raise the necessary funding to
implement the Company's business plan, the Company would not be able to proceed
prospectively, and therefore, would no longer anticipate being a going concern.
Should the funding of the private placement of Company common stock not
materialize, the Company is investigating alternative methods of obtaining the
funding required to implement its business plan.
YEAR 2000 ISSUES
Since all of the Companies software has been created or purchased from
major vendors within the last two years, the year 2000 is not expected to effect
the Company in any way.
ITEM 7. FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
The consolidated financial statements of the Company required to be
included in Item 7 are set forth in the Financial Statements Index.
The Company has retained Hein & Associates to audit its financial
statements as of March 31, 1999. It is anticipated the audit will be
completed by July 21, 1999, at which time the Company will file an amended
Form 10-KSB. The Company does not anticipate there will be any material
changes to its financial statements included herein.
ITEM 8. CHANGES IN AND DISAGREEMENTS WITH ACCOUNTANTS ON ACCOUNTING AND
FINANCIAL DISCLOSURE

ROCKPORT HEALTHCARE GROUP, INC.
(FORMERLY KNOWN AS PROTOKOPOS CORPORATION)
COMPANIES IN THE DEVELOPMENTAL STAGE
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
MARCH 31, 1999
NOTE 1. DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
BUSINESS
Rockport Healthcare Group, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the "Company"
or "Rockport"), formerly Protokopos Corporation was incorporated on May 4, 1992.
The Company had no operating history other than organizational matters until
December 17, 1997, at which time the Company acquired all of the issued and
outstanding common stock of Rockport Group of Texas, Inc. Protokopos Corporation
was originally formed specifically to be a "clean public shell" for the purpose
of either merging with or acquiring an operating company with operating history
and other assets.
On December 17, 1997, Protokopos Corporation acquired all of the issued
and outstanding common stock of Rockport Group of Texas, Inc. in exchange for
1,442,432 shares of its common stock and the surrender, redemption and
retirement of 254,760 shares of Treasury common stock, leaving total outstanding
Protokopos Corporation shares of 2,461,472. These financial statements have been
consolidated effective as of December 17, 1997. On January 16, 1998, the name of
the corporation was changed from Protokopos Corporation to Rockport Healthcare
Group, Inc.
The Company has been in the development stage since its inception and
has been established as a holding company to develop and/or acquire business
entities which deliver comprehensive, integrated products and/or services to
targeted healthcare populations. These products and services include, but are
not limited to, medical healthcare networks for workers' compensation injuries
and rehabilitation, individual and group medical networks for accidents and
illnesses, medical networks for catastrophic illnesses and injuries and access
to national medical, dental, prescription, chiropractic and vision networks via
private label or retail medical access savings cards. The goal of the Company is
to develop and deliver high value, quality healthcare services and programs that
create provider and customer satisfaction as well as result in appropriate
financial return to investors in the Company.
The Company had the following wholly owned subsidiaries as of March 31,
1999:
Rockport Advanced Care, Inc.
Rockport Community Network, Inc.
Rockport Group of Texas, Inc.
Rockport Occupational Network, Inc.
Rockport Preferred, Inc.
Newton Healthcare Network, LLC
CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS
Cash and cash equivalents consist of cash on hand and held in banks in
unrestricted accounts.
19
<PAGE>
PROPERTY, PLANT AND EQUIPMENT
Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost. Expenditures for
renewals and betterments are capitalized and maintenance and repair expenditures
are expensed as incurred. Depreciation and amortization are computed by the
straight-line method over the estimated economic lives of the assets as follows:
Office furniture and equipment 7 years
Computer equipment and software 3 to 5 years
Telephone equipment 7 years
ORGANIZATION COSTS
Prior to the acquisition of Rockport Group of Texas, Inc. the Company's
activities had been limited to organizational matters and amortized on a
straight-line basis over a period of five years.
INCOME TAXES
The company has adopted the liability method of accounting for income
taxes in accordance with SFAS No. 19, ACCOUNTING FOR INCOME TAXES. Under the new
accounting standard, the Company provides deferred income taxes based on enacted
income tax rates in effect on the dates temporary differences between financial
reporting and tax basis of assets and liabilities reverse. The effect on
deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in income tax rates is
recognized in the period that includes the enactment date.
The Company filed its initial income tax return using the cash basis of
accounting. Since utilization of net operating loss carryforwards are not
assured, no benefit for future offset of taxable income has been recognized.
REVENUE RECOGNITION
Revenue is recognized as products and services are delivered and
earned. Losses are recognized when reasonable estimates of the amount of the
loss can be made.
NOTE 2. STOCK SUBSCRIPTION RECEIVABLE
The Company has a stock subscription receivable of $1,086,487 for
1,086,487 shares of its common stock due from a third party. Of the original
amount due, $219,000 was collected during the period ended March 31, 1999, and
it is anticipated the balance will be collected during the third calendar
quarter of 1999.
NOTE 3. PRIOR PERIOD ADJUSTMENT
The Company's prior president and controlling shareholder had advanced
$1,198 to fund operations. Of this amount, $1,168 had been expensed in prior
persons and $30 was expensed during the first six months of a previous reporting
period. In connection with the purchase of the Company's subsidiary, the prior
president released the Company of this liability such that the $1,168 expensed
in previous years has been reported as an adjustment of prior periods.
20
<PAGE>
NOTE 4. DUE TO SHAREHOLDERS, DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS
Shareholders who are also officers and directors of the Company and an
employee of one of the Company's subsidiaries have advanced funds to one of the
Company's subsidiaries for operations. Effective October 31, 1998, three
officers who are also directors converted $324,960 of amounts owing by the
Company to these officers into common stock of the Company at an exchange rate
of $1 per share.
The Company expensed management fees in the consolidated income
statement of $287,250.
NOTE 5. NOTES PAYABLE
On September 14, 1998, Bannon Energy Incorporated ("Bannon") loaned the
Company $200,000 for a one year, 8% note in the same amount and 200,000 shares
of Company SEC Rule 144 restricted common stock. The stock, valued at $1 per
share, has been recorded as a loan cost and is being amortized over the period
of the loan, one year. On January 26, 1999, Bannon loaned the Company an
additional $100,000 at 8% interest with the note due September 15, 1999. The
Company issued an additional 100,000 shares of Company SEC Rule 144 restricted
common stock to Bannon, which was also valued at $1 per share and is being
amortized as loan costs over the term of the loan. Bannon has the option, but
not the obligation, to convert the principal amount of the loans into an
additional 300,000 shares of Company SEC Rule 144 restricted common stock at any
time prior to the loan maturity date.
On November 5, 1998, a shareholder of the Company loaned the Company
$100,000 for a six month period at 10% interest payable in the same amount and
50,000 shares of Company SEC Rule 144 restricted common stock. The stock, valued
at $1 per share, has been recorded as a loan cost and is being amortized over
the period of the loan. The loan was extended in January 1999 to a one-year loan
and an additional 50,000 shares of Company SEC Rule 144 restricted common stock
was issued for the extension. The shareholder has the option to convert the
principal amount of the loan into an additional 100,000 shares of Company SEC
Rule 144 restricted common stock at any time prior to the loan maturity date.
NOTE 6. LEASES
One of the Company's subsidiaries has assumed leases for office space
and equipment under operating leases expiring at various dates through 2002.

or replaced by similar leases. Future minimum lease payments for each year in
the three year period ending March 31, 2002 are as follows:

</TABLE>
NOTE 7. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
There are no legal proceedings against the Company.
NOTE 8. ACQUISITIONS
As of December 12, 1997, the Company entered into an agreement with
Rockport Group of Texas, Inc. ("RGT"), a Nevada corporation, for the
shareholders of the Company to exchange 80% of the Company's issued and
outstanding common stock for all of the issued and outstanding common stock of
RGT. Effective December 17, 1997, the exchange of stock occurred, making RGT a
wholly owned subsidiary of the Company. RGT remitted to the controlling
shareholder of the Company prior to the acquisition $5,000 for various fees and
expenses relating to this acquisition and change in control.
21
<PAGE>
On September 14, 1998, Rockport Community Network, Inc., acquired 100%
of the membership interests of Newton Healthcare Network, LLC, a Texas limited
liability company for 100,000 shares of Company SEC Rule 144 restricted common
stock. Bannon owned 85% of the membership interests and received 85,000 shares
of Company common stock. Bannon also received an overriding royalty interest to
receive 2% of the gross revenues received by both Newton Healthcare Network, LLC
and Rockport Community Network, Inc. Goodwill has been recorded in the amount of
$99,849.
NOTE 9. CONTINGENT LIABILITIES
One of the Company's subsidiaries has issued 1,000 shares of its 8%,
cumulative, non-participating preferred stock. The stock is redeemable at $200
per share and is expected to be redeemed out of future cash flow of the Company.
NOTE 10. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
In connection with the acquisition by the Company of RGT, RGT remitted
on behalf of the then three common stock shareholders $75,000 ($25,000 for each)
to the controlling shareholder of the Company for the right to exchange the
common stock of RGT for the common stock of the Company. RGT has reflected in
its financial statements this remittance made on behalf of its then shareholders
as a $25,000 reduction in the prior advances and/or the note payable made by
each of these shareholders of which all are also directors of the Company.
NOTE 11. GOING CONCERN
The Company is a developmental stage company and, as such, requires
additional outside capital to implement its business plan. The Company has
funded its operations through the sale of Company common stock, borrowing funds
from outside sources and conversion of employee and director debt to common
stock of the Company. The Company has an agreement with an outside firm whereby
the firm is to sell 1,000,000 shares of the Company's common stock under SEC
Rule 144 for total proceeds to the Company of $1,000,000. As of March 31, 1999,
the Company had received proceeds from the sale of the Company's common stock of
$713,750 with an additional amount due of $1,086,487. It is anticipated the
balance of the funding from the sale of common stock will be received during the
second and third calendar quarters of 1999.
Should the Company not be able to raise the necessary funding to
implement the Company's business plan, the Company would not be able to proceed
prospectively, and therefore, would no longer anticipate being a going concern.
NOTE 12. INCOME TAXES
The fiscal year end of the company is March 31. As of March 31, 1997,
the Company had a net operating loss carryforward of $3,258 that would begin
expiring in the year 2010, however, due to the effects of the prior period
adjustment discussed in Note 3, this net operating loss carryforward will be
adjusted to $2,090. The consolidated tax return filed for March 31, 1998 fiscal
year reflects a loss of $232,886, which will increase the loss carryforward to
$234,976. This component would expire in the year 2013.
