PART I


ITEM 1:	BUSINESS (General)

A.	The Company

Merit Diversified International, Inc. ("the Company") currently has
no operations and no cash flow or operating capital.  The Company is
considered to be a develop- ment-stage company, and will continue to
be classified as such until the Company initiates business operations.

B.	History of Operations

The Company was incorporated in the State of Utah, in 1983, subsequently
reincorporating in the State of Nevada.  Initially, the Company published
a telephone directory, but this operation was suspended in 1987 due to
lack of operating funds and revenues.  Since 1988, the Company has made
several attempts to acquire and operate various businesses.  All efforts
have proven to be unsuccessful.

In 1994, the Company purchased from Phalanx, Ltd., certain rights to molds
and designs of exclusive jewelry.  These were purchased with 27,000,000
shares of the Company's common stock.  Originally valued at $270,000 this
investment proved to be worthless.  Major shareholders of the Company sued
for return of the shares.  On February 9, 1995, the Superior Court of the
County of Maricopa, Arizona decided that the 27,000,000 were improperly
given and denied those shares voting rights.  On March 23, 1995, a
shareholders meeting was held whereby those shares were rescinded and
returned to the Company.

In April, 1996, the Company approved a 20 to 1 reverse stock split.
Subsequent to the stock split, the Company approved a merger with a company
named NEAT, Inc., a Nevada corporation, through the issuance of 13,000,000
shares of common stock, with  the intent of marketing a certain new
technology and combining the companies.  Both parties chose not to continue
the merger; however, NEAT, Inc. returned 13,000,000 shares to the Company.
There is no assurance that the potential business will be successful.

During the past five fiscal years, the Company has been dormant. During May
1997, and in anticipation of the acquisition of Global Resources and
Technology, Inc., the Company appointed Mr. Mallette as officer and interim
director to investigate and facilitate the acquisition of a viable business
operation focusing on environmental products and services.  During June 1997,
the Company identified a business opportunity with Amwest Environmental
Group, Inc. (AEG). AEG held contracts to perform environmental reclamation
services for certain cities in the Peoples Republic of China and secured
property, plant and equipment in those cities to operate recycling and
manufacturing facilities. The company issued 25,100,000 shares of no par
value Common Stock to Jen Investments Corporation, in trust for the benefit
of AEG, pending shareholder approval of the exchange of those shares for
AEG's investment in Global Resources & Technology, Inc. (Global). During
May 1997, AEG formed Global as a wholly owned subsidiary and transferred
certain contracts for enviromental clean-up projects, patents, and
proprietary technologies associated  with environmental clean-up and
protection, and certain assets acquired including property, plant and
equipment, including land, that it had acquired by purchase. The property,
plant, equipment and land are located in the Peoples Republic of China.
However, the merger to this date has not yet been completed and the Company
does not anticipate that it will be completed in the future.

As a potential replacement to the above referenced China deal, on or about
August 5, 1998 Jen Investments transferred to six entities 20,000,000 shares
in exchange for an irrevocable commitment by International Synergy Holding Co,
Ltd to transfer into Merit assets having a value of $5,000,000.  It is
anticipated by the Company that $2,000,000 of those commited assets will
be booked on the records of Merit within the third quarter of the year 1999
and that the Company will seek to engage in the business of selling music over
the Internet and other entertainment related businesses.

As of August 31, 1998, the Company had no employees and no operating assets.
The Company continues to meet its organizational obligations through the
contribution of capital by major shareholders.

The Company has continued its efforts to acquire, merge with or enter into
other forms of business combinations. It is presently unknown whether any
transactions will be successfully concluded.

ITEM 7:	MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
	CONDITION RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (Continued)

The information set forth in "Management's Discussion and Analysis of
Financial Condition and Results of Operations" below includes "forward-
looking statements" within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act,
and is subject to the safe harbor created by that section.  Factors that
could cause actual results to differ materially from these contained in the
forward-looking statements are set forth in "Management's Discussion and
Analysis of Financial condition and Results of Operations".

Year Ended August 31, 1998 and 1997

The Company has no assets, and has not engaged in any operational activities
during the past five (5) years.  At present, the Company has no employees.
The Company does not expect any changes unless the Company concludes a
merger or other business combination.

During the years ended August 31, 1997 and 1998, the Company had no
operations.  The Company maintained its existence through contributions
from its shareholders to satisfy its general and administrative expenses.
As detailed on the accompanying consolidated statements of cash flows, there
were no significant adjustments between the net loss and net changes in cash.

Due to the nature of the Company's activities, the Company's prospects for
the future are dependent on a number of variables which cannot be predicted.
Generally, after identifying a potential business opportunity, the Company
could incur significant costs in evaluating the desirability of an
acquisition or other form of business combination.  Should the Company
determine to proceed with the business combination, the transaction costs
could be significant. Thereafter, results of operation would likely be
materially affected by the business acquired or merged with the Company.

The Company has continued its efforts to acquire, merge with or enter into
another form of business combination with another entity, and the Company
plans to continue these efforts in the future fiscal year. It is presently
unknown whether any transaction will be successfully concluded.


Liquidity and Capital Resources

Year Ended August 31, 1998

The Company currently does not have adequate reserves to satisfy its short
-term obligations.  The Company is currently seeking private placement
funding to maintain its obligation until such time as its operations can
generate cash flow.  No guarantee can be made that the current development
stage search for an operational business or private funding will be
successful.  The Company is able to continue because the major shareholders
continue to cover administrative expenses.  No guarantee can be made that the
major shareholder will continue to cover these expenses.




ITEM 7:	MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION RESULTS
        OF 	OPERATIONS (Continued)

The Company considers its current cash and cash equivalent balances
inadequate to satisfy its cash requirements for the next twelve months.
Legal and accounting and other expenses required could increase
significantly in connection with any contemplated business combination. The
Company may not have the liquidity and capital resources to consummate such
business combination.  Due to the nature of the Company's present activities,
however, the Company is unable to predict its likely expenditure for
professional fees and other expenses. The Company has no major capital
commitments nor access to mechanisms to fund working or operating capital,
and there can be no assurance that it will be successful in its efforts to
raise additional capital to maintain its plan of operation.

Merit Diversified International, Inc.:



INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT



	I have audited the accompanying balance sheet of Merit Diversified
International, Inc., a development-stage company, as of August 31, 1998 and
the related statements of operations, stockholders' equity and cash flows
for the year ended August 31, 1998.  My responsibility is to express an
opinion on these financial statements based on my audit.  I did not audit
the statements prior to the year ended August 31, 1996.  Other auditors
audited those statements.

I have conducted my audit in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards.  Those standards require that I plan and perform the audit to
obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free
of material misstatement.  An audit includes examining, on a test basis.
Evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements.
An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and
significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall
financial statement presentation.  I believe that my audit and those of
other auditors provides a reasonable basis for my opinion.

In my opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly,
in all material respects, the financial position of Merit Diversified
International, Inc., as of August 31, 1998 and the results of their
operations and their cash flows for the three (3) years ended August 31,
1998 in conformity with generally-accepted accounting principles.

MERIT DIVERSIFIED INTERNATIONAL, INC.
(A Developmental-Stage Company)

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Note 1.	General Company Information and Summary of
      		Significant Accounting Policies

The Company was organized August 23, 1983, in the State of Utah.  Initially,
the Company published and attempted to market a telephone directory, but
this operation was suspended in 1987 due to lack of operating funds and
revenues.  Since 1988, the Company has made several attempts to acquire and
operate various businesses.  These have proven thus far to be unsuccessful.
Note 2 (below) lists some of the attempted acquisitions and the results. The
Company continues to pursue a path of merger with an operating business.

The Company has incurred significant losses since its inception and as of
August 31 1998, has no source of revenue.  The Company has no cash, and has
maintained its existence and paid ongoing expenses through the issuance of
common stock.

The Company has been able to continue because major shareholders have
continued to invest in the Company to meet its expenses.

The Company is considered a development-stage company, and will remain in
this status until operations begin.  There can be no assurance that the
Company will be able to merge with an operating company, acquire an ongoing
business, or that the major shareholders will continue to pay the expense
of the Company.


Basis of Presentation

The accompanying consolicated financial statements have been prepared in
accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles.

Property and Equipment

As of August 31, 1998 the Company had no fixed assets.  Previously the
Company depreciated its fixed assets over their estimated useful lives on
a straight line bases.

Development Stage Company

The Company has had no revenue or operations during the previous five years,
and because of this has considers itself a development stage company.  It
will remain in this status until such time as it initiates or merges with
operations of some kind. In the early years, the Company generated nominal
revenues from the sale of its telephone directory. These minimal revenues
have been netted with general and administrative expenses of those years.

















MERIT DIVERSIFIED INTERNATIONAL, INC.
(A Developmental-Stage Company)


NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


Net Loss Per Share

Loss per share is computed based on the average number of shares outstanding
during each year.


Revenue Recognition

The Company has had no revenue during the past five years.


Provision for Income Taxes

The provision for income taxes is the total of the current taxes payable
and the net of the change in the deferred income taxes.  Provision is made
for deferred income taxes where differences exist between the period in
which transactions affect current taxable income and the period in which
they enter into the determination of net income in the financial statements.
The Company has a net operating loss carry forward of approximately
$2,000,000 available to offset future taxable income.  The last of the carry
forward expires in 2009. No benefit has been recorded on the face of the
balance sheet for this benefit.


Note 2.	Investments and Acquisitions

Marketable securities at August 31, 1998 and 1997 had an original cost
basis of $240,000.  The stock is currently considered worthless.

Purchase of Phalanx, Ltd. Rights:

In 1994, the Company purchased from Phalanx, Ltd. certain rights to molds
and designs of exclusive jewelry.  These were purchased with 27,000,000
shares of the Company's common stock.  Originally valued at $270,000 this
investment proved to be worthless.  Major shareholders of the Company sued
for return of the shares.  On February 9, 1995, the Superior Court of the
County of Maricopa, Arizona decided that the 27,000,000 shares were
improperly given and denied those shares voting rights.  On March 23, 1995,
a shareholders' meeting was held wherein those shares were rescinded and
returned to the Company.



Proposed Merger:

As part of a proposed merger, the Company issued 1,250,000 shares to various
parties for consulting.  This merger was not successful; however, the shares
of stock for consulting are still outstanding. Similarily, there were
25,100,000 shares issued in association with the proposed acquisition of
Global Resources and Technology, Inc. During June 1997, the Company identified
a business opportunity with Amwest Environmental Group, Inc. (AEG). AEG held
contracts to perform environmental reclamation  services for certain cities
in the Peoples Republic of China and secured property, plant, and equipment
in those cities to operate recycling and manufacturing facilities. The
Company issued 25,100,000 shares of no par value Common Stock to Jen
Investments Corporation, in trust, for the benefit of AEG, pending
shareholder approval of the exchange of those shares of AEG's investment
in Global Resources & Technology, Inc. (Global). During May 1997, AEG formed
Global as a wholly owned subsidiary and transferred certain contracts for
environmental clean-up projects, patent and proprietary technologies
associated with environmental clean-up and including land, that it had
acquired by purchase. The property, plant, equipment, and land are located
in the Peoples Republic of China. However, the merger to this date has not
been completed and the Company does not anticipate that it will be completed
in the future.

As a potential replacement to the above referenced "Global" acquisition, on or
about August 5, 1998 Jen Investments transferred to six entities 20,000,000
shares in exchange for an irrevocable commitment by Synergy International to
transfer into Merit assets having a value of $5,000,000.  It is anticipated by
the Company that $2,000,000 of those commited assets will be booked on the
records of Merit within the third quarter of the year 1999 and that the Company
will seek to engage in the business of selling music over the Internet and
other entertainment related businesses.


Note 3.	Related Party Transactions

The Company has been able to continue in existence and to remove most of
its debts because some of the major shareholders have continued to cover
the administrative expenses and to pay outstanding debts.  There is no
guarantee that these shareholders will continue to fund the Company.

There are no outstanding obligations due to or from related parties as of
August 31, 1998.


Note 4.	Commitments and Contingencies

The Company has no commitments or contingencies as of August 31, 1998

Note 5.  Going Concern

The Company has incurred significant losses since its inception and as of
August 31, 1998, had no source of revenue.  The Company also had no cash,
and has paid for all of its ongoing expenses with the issuance of its
common stock.

The Company has been able to continue because the major stockholders have
been willing to continually invest in the Company to cover expenses.  The
Company is to be considered a development-stage company, and will remain in
this status until operations have been established.  No guarantee can be
made that the Company will be able to merge with an operational company or
that the major stockholders will continue to pay the expenses of the Company.
 As of August 31, 1998 and 1997, the Company had no assets.

Due to the nature of the Company's activities, the Company's prospects for
the future are dependent on a number of variables which cannot be predicted.
Generally, after identifying a potential business opportunity, the Company
could incur significant costs in evaluating the desirability of an
acquisition or other form of business combination.  Should the Company
determine to proceed with the business combination, the transaction costs
could be significant.  Thereafter, results of operation would likely be
materially affected by the business acquired or merged with the Company.

In February 1997, major stockholders contributed $8,000 to pay old payables.

Note 6. Subsequent Events

The Company is currently seeking additional funding through debt and equity
financing. The Company is also seeking a suitable merger candidate. No
guarantees can be made that the company will be successful in its attempts
to obtain funding or acquire or start an operational business.
