Item 1.  Description of Business.
         ------------------------

General
-------

     The  Company  was  incorporated  under the laws of the State of Wyoming on
May 27, 1997 and is in the early  developmental and promotional  stages. To
date the  Company's  activities  have  been  organizational  ones,  directed  at
developing its business plan and raising its initial capital.

        The Company is a "shell"  company and its only current  business plan is
to seek,  investigate,  and, if  warranted,  acquire one or more  properties  or
businesses,   and  to  pursue  other  related  activities  intended  to  enhance
shareholder  value.  The  acquisition of a business  opportunity  may be made by
purchase, merger, exchange of stock, or otherwise, and may encompass assets or a
business  entity,  such as a corporation,  joint venture,  or  partnership.  The
Company has no capital, and it is unlikely that the Company will be able to take
advantage of more than one such  business  opportunity.  The Company  intends to
seek opportunities demonstrating the potential of long-term growth as opposed to
short-term earnings.

     At the present time the Company has not identified any business opportunity
that it plans to pursue, nor has the Company reached any agreement or definitive
understanding  with any person  concerning an  acquisition.  The Company filed a
Form 10-SB on a  voluntary  basis in 1999 in order to become a 12(g)  registered
company under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. As a "reporting company," the
Company may be more attractive to a private acquisition target because it may be
listed to trade its shares on the OTCBB.

        It is anticipated that the Company's officers and directors will contact
broker-dealers  and other persons with whom they are acquainted who are involved

<PAGE>

in corporate  finance  matters to advise them of the Company's  existence and to
determine if any  companies or  businesses  they  represent  have an interest in
considering a merger or acquisition with the Company.  No assurance can be given
that the Company will be successful in finding or acquiring a desirable business
opportunity,  given that no funds that are available for  acquisitions,  or that
any  acquisition  that occurs will be on terms that are favorable to the Company
or its stockholders.

        The  Company's  search will be directed  toward  small and  medium-sized
enterprises which have a desire to become public corporations and which are able
to satisfy,  or anticipate in the reasonably  near future being able to satisfy,
the minimum asset  requirements in order to qualify shares for trading on NASDAQ
or  a  stock   exchange   (See   "Investigation   and   Selection   of  Business
Opportunities").   The  Company  anticipates  that  the  business  opportunities
presented to it will (i) be recently organized with no operating  history,  or a
history of losses attributable to under-capitalization or other factors; (ii) be
experiencing financial or operating  difficulties;  (iii) be in need of funds to
develop a new product or service or to expand into a new market; (iv) be relying
upon an untested product or marketing concept;  or (v) have a combination of the
characteristics   mentioned  in  (i)  through  (iv).  The  Company   intends  to
concentrate its acquisition efforts on properties or businesses that it believes
to be  undervalued.  Given the above factors,  investors  should expect that any
acquisition candidate may have a history of losses or low profitability.

        The  Company  does not  propose to  restrict  its search for  investment
opportunities  to  any  particular  geographical  area  or  industry,  and  may,
therefore,  engage in  essentially  any  business,  to the extent of its limited
resources. This includes industries such as service, finance, natural resources,
manufacturing, high technology, product development, medical, communications and
others. The Company's  discretion in the selection of business  opportunities is
unrestricted,  subject  to the  availability  of  such  opportunities,  economic
conditions, and other factors.

     As a consequence of this  registration of its securities,  any entity which
has an interest in being  acquired by, or merging into the Company,  is expected
to be an entity that desires to become a public  company and  establish a public
trading  market  for  its  securities.  In  connection  with  such a  merger  or
acquisition, it is highly likely that an amount of stock constituting control of
the  Company  would be issued  by the  Company  or  purchased  from the  current
principal shareholders of the Company by the acquiring entity or its affiliates.
If stock is purchased  from the current  shareholders,  the  transaction is very
likely to result in  substantial  gains to them relative to their purchase price
for such stock.  In the Company's  judgment,  none of its officers and directors
would thereby become an "underwriter" within the meaning of the Section 2(11) of
the  Securities Act of 1933, as amended.  The sale of a controlling  interest by
certain  principal  shareholders  of the Company  could occur at a time when the
other shareholders of the Company remain subject to restrictions on the transfer
of their shares.

<PAGE>

        Depending upon the nature of the  transaction,  the current officers and
directors  of the Company may resign  management  positions  with the Company in
connection with the Company's acquisition of a business  opportunity.  See "Form
of Acquisition,"  below, and "Risk Factors - The Company - Lack of Continuity in
Management."  In  the  event  of  such  a  resignation,  the  Company's  current
management would not have any control over the conduct of the Company's business
following the Company's combination with a business opportunity.

        It is anticipated that business opportunities will come to the Company's
attention from various  sources,  including its officer and director,  its other
stockholders,   professional   advisors  such  as  attorneys  and   accountants,
securities  broker-dealers,   venture  capitalists,  members  of  the  financial
community,  and others who may present unsolicited proposals. The Company has no
plans,  understandings,  agreements, or commitments with any individual for such
person to act as a finder of opportunities for the Company.

        The  Company  does not  foresee  that it would  enter  into a merger  or
acquisition  transaction  with any business with which its officers or directors
are currently affiliated.  Should the Company determine in the future,  contrary
to foregoing expectations,  that a transaction with an affiliate would be in the
best  interests of the Company and its  stockholders,  the Company is in general
permitted by Wyoming law to enter into such a transaction if:

1. The material facts as to the relationship or interest of the affiliate and as
to the  contract  or  transaction  are  disclosed  or are  known to the Board of
Directors, and the Board in good faith authorizes the contract or transaction by
the affirmative vote of a majority of the disinterested  directors,  even though
the disinterested directors constitute less than a quorum; or

<PAGE>

2. The material facts as to the relationship or interest of the affiliate and as
to the contract or  transaction  are disclosed or are known to the  stockholders
entitled to vote  thereon,  and the  contract  or  transaction  is  specifically
approved in good faith by vote of the stockholders; or

3. The  contract or  transaction  is fair as to the Company as of the time it is
authorized, approved or ratified, by the Board of Directors or the stockholders.

Investigation and Selection of Business Opportunities
-----------------------------------------------------

To a large extent, a decision to participate in a specific business  opportunity
may be made upon  management's  analysis of the  quality of the other  company's
management  and  personnel,  the  anticipated  acceptability  of new products or
marketing concepts,  the merit of technological  changes,  the perceived benefit
the company will derive from becoming a publicly held entity, and numerous other
factors  which  are  difficult,  if  not  impossible,  to  analyze  through  the
application of any objective criteria. In many instances, it is anticipated that
the historical operations of a specific business opportunity may not necessarily
be indicative  of the  potential for the future  because of the possible need to
shift marketing approaches substantially,  expand significantly,  change product
emphasis, change or substantially augment management, or make other changes. The
Company will be dependent upon the owners of a business  opportunity to identify
any such problems which may exist and to implement,  or be primarily responsible
for the implementation of, required changes. Because the Company may participate
in a business  opportunity  with a newly  organized firm or with a firm which is
entering a new phase of growth,  it should be  emphasized  that the Company will
incur further risks,  because  management in many instances will not have proved
its abilities or effectiveness,  the eventual market for such company's products
or  services  will  likely  not be  established,  and  such  company  may not be
profitable when acquired.

It is  anticipated  that the  Company  will not be able to  diversify,  but will
essentially  be limited to one such  venture  because of the  Company's  limited
financing.  This lack of  diversification  will not permit the Company to offset
potential losses from one business opportunity against profits from another, and
should be  considered an adverse  factor  affecting any decision to purchase the
Company's securities.


<PAGE>

It is emphasized that management of the Company may effect transactions having a
potentially  adverse  impact  upon the  Company's  shareholders  pursuant to the
authority and  discretion of the Company's  management to complete  acquisitions
without  submitting any proposal to the  stockholders  for their  consideration.
Holders of the  Company's  securities  should not  anticipate  that the  Company
necessarily will furnish such holders, prior to any merger or acquisition,  with
financial statements, or any other documentation, concerning a target company or
its  business.  In some  instances,  however,  the proposed  participation  in a
business   opportunity   may  be  submitted  to  the   stockholders   for  their
consideration,  either  voluntarily by such directors to seek the  stockholders'
advice and consent or because state law so requires.

The  analysis  of  business  opportunities  will be  undertaken  by or under the
supervision  of the  Company's  President,  who is not a  professional  business
analyst. See "Management." Although there are no current plans to do so, Company
management might hire an outside  consultant to assist in the  investigation and
selection of business opportunities, and might pay a finder's fee. Since Company
management  has no current plans to use any outside  consultants  or advisors to
assist in the investigation and selection of business opportunities, no policies
have been adopted regarding use of such consultants or advisors, the criteria to
be used in selecting such consultants or advisors,  the services to be provided,
the term of service,  or  regarding  the total  amount of fees that may be paid.
However,  because of the limited resources of the Company, it is likely that any
such fee the  Company  agrees  to pay  would  be paid in stock  and not in cash.
Otherwise,  the Company  anticipates that it will consider,  among other things,
the following factors:

1. Potential for growth and  profitability,  indicated by new  technology,
anticipated market expansion, or new products;

2. The Company's  perception of how any particular business  opportunity will be
received by the investment community and by the Company's stockholders;

3. Whether,  following  the business  combination,  the  financial  condition of
the business opportunity  would be, or would have a significant  prospect in the
foreseeable  future of  becoming  sufficient  to enable  the  securities  of the
Company  to  qualify  for  listing on an  exchange  or on a  national  automated
securities quotation system, such as NASDAQ, so as to permit the trading of such
securities to be exempt from the requirements of Rule 15c2-6 recently adopted by
the  Securities  and  Exchange  Commission.  See "Risk  Factors - The  Company -
Regulation of Penny Stocks."

<PAGE>

4. Capital  requirements  and anticipated  availability of required funds, to be
provided  by the  Company or from  operations,  through  the sale of  additional
securities,  through  joint  ventures  or  similar  arrangements,  or from other
sources;

5. The extent to which the business opportunity can be advanced;

6.  Competitive  position  as compared to other  companies  of similar  size and
experience  within the  industry  segment as well as within  the  industry  as a
whole;

7. Strength and diversity of existing  management,  or management prospects that
are scheduled for recruitment;

8. The  cost of  participation  by the  Company  as  compared  to the  perceived
tangible and intangible values and potential; and

9. The accessibility of required management expertise, personnel, raw materials,
services, professional assistance, and other required items.

    In regard to the  possibility  that the shares of the Company  would qualify
for listing on NASDAQ,  the current  standards include the requirements that the
issuer of the  securities  that are sought to be listed have total  assets of at
least $4,000,000 and total capital and surplus of at least $2,000,000. Many, and
perhaps most, of the business  opportunities that might be potential  candidates
for a  combination  with the  Company  would  not  satisfy  the  NASDAQ  listing
criteria.

     No one of the factors  described above will be controlling in the selection
of a business  opportunity,  and management  will attempt to analyze all factors
appropriate to each  opportunity and make a determination  based upon reasonable
investigative  measures  and  available  data.  Potentially  available  business
opportunities  may occur in many  different  industries and at various stages of
development,  all of which will make the task of comparative  investigation  and
analysis  of  such  business  opportunities  extremely  difficult  and  complex.
Potential  investors  must  recognize  that,  because of the  Company's  limited
capital  available for  investigation  and  management's  limited  experience in
business analysis,  the Company may not discover or adequately  evaluate adverse
facts about the opportunity to be acquired.

<PAGE>

      The  Company is unable to predict  when it may  participate  in a business
opportunity.  It expects,  however,  that the analysis of specific proposals and
the selection of a business opportunity may take several months or more.

       Prior to making a decision to participate in a business opportunity,  the
Company  will  generally  request  that it be provided  with  written  materials
regarding the business  opportunity  containing  such items as a description  of
products,   services  and  company  history;   management   resumes;   financial
information; available projections, with related assumptions upon which they are
based; an explanation of proprietary products and services; evidence of existing
patents,  trademarks, or services marks, or rights thereto; present and proposed
forms of compensation to management;  a description of transactions between such
company and its affiliates during relevant periods; a description of present and
required  facilities;  an  analysis  of  risks  and  competitive  conditions;  a
financial  plan  of  operation  and  estimated  capital  requirements;   audited
financial  statements,  or  if  they  are  not  available,  unaudited  financial
statements,   together  with  reasonable   assurances  that  audited   financial
statements  would be able to be produced within a reasonable  period of time not
to  exceed  60 days  following  completion  of a merger  transaction;  and other
information deemed relevant.

       As part of the Company's investigation,  the Company's executive officers
and directors may meet personally  with management and key personnel,  may visit
and inspect material facilities,  obtain independent analysis or verification of
certain information provided,  check references of management and key personnel,
and take other reasonable investigative measures, to the extent of the Company's
limited financial resources and management expertise.

       It is  possible  that the range of business  opportunities  that might be
available  for  consideration  by the Company  could be limited by the impact of
Securities and Exchange  Commission  regulations  regarding purchase and sale of
"penny stocks." The regulations  would affect,  and possibly impair,  any market
that might develop in the Company's  securities  until such time as they qualify
for listing on NASDAQ or on another  exchange  which would make them exempt from
applicability of the "penny stock" regulations. See "Risk Factors - - Regulation
of Penny Stocks."


<PAGE>

        Company  management  believes that various types of potential  merger or
acquisition  candidates might find a business combination with the Company to be
attractive.  These include  acquisition  candidates  desiring to create a public
market for their shares in order to enhance liquidity for current  shareholders,
acquisition  candidates  which have long-term  plans for raising capital through
the public sale of securities and believe that the possible prior existence of a
public  market  for  their  securities  would  be  beneficial,  and  acquisition
candidates  which  plan  to  acquire   additional  assets  through  issuance  of
securities rather than for cash, and believe that the possibility of development
of a public market for their  securities  will be of assistance in that process.
Acquisition  candidates which have a need for an immediate cash infusion are not
likely  to find a  potential  business  combination  with the  Company  to be an
attractive alternative.

        There  are no  loan  arrangements  or  arrangements  for  any  financing
whatsoever relating to any business opportunities.

Form of Acquisition
-------------------

        It is  impossible  to  predict  the  manner  in which  the  Company  may
participate in a business opportunity.  Specific business  opportunities will be
reviewed  as well as the  respective  needs and  desires of the  Company and the
promoters of the opportunity and, upon the basis of that review and the relative
negotiating  strength of the Company and such promoters,  the legal structure or
method deemed by management to be suitable will be selected.  Such structure may
include, but is not limited to leases,  purchase and sale agreements,  licenses,
joint ventures and other contractual arrangements.  The Company may act directly
or indirectly through an interest in a partnership, corporation or other form of
organization.  Implementing such structure may require the merger, consolidation
or  reorganization  of the Company with other  corporations or forms of business
organization,  and although it is likely, there is no assurance that the Company
would  be  the  surviving  entity.  In  addition,  the  present  management  and
stockholders  of the Company  most likely will not have control of a majority of
the voting shares of the Company following a reorganization transaction. As part
of such a  transaction,  the  Company's  existing  directors  may resign and new
directors may be appointed without any vote by stockholders.

        It is likely  that the  Company  will  acquire  its  participation  in a
business opportunity through the issuance of Common Stock or other securities of


<PAGE>

the Company.  Although the terms of any such transaction cannot be predicted, it
should be noted that in  certain  circumstances  the  criteria  for  determining
whether or not an acquisition is a so-called "tax free" reorganization under the
Internal Revenue Code of 1986,  depends upon the issuance to the stockholders of
the acquired company of a controlling  interest (i.e. 80% or more) of the common
stock of the combined entities  immediately  following the reorganization.  If a
transaction  were structured to take advantage of these  provisions  rather than
other "tax free"  provisions  provided  under the  Internal  Revenue  Code,  the
Company's current  stockholders would retain in the aggregate 20% or less of the
total issued and outstanding shares. This could result in substantial additional
dilution in the equity of those who were  stockholders  of the Company  prior to
such  reorganization.  Any such issuance of additional shares might also be done
simultaneously  with a sale or transfer  of shares  representing  a  controlling
interest  in the  Company  by the  current  officers,  directors  and  principal
shareholders. (See "Description of Business - General").

        It is anticipated that any new securities  issued in any  reorganization
would  be  issued  in  reliance  upon  exemptions,  if any are  available,  from
registration  under  applicable  federal  and  state  securities  laws.  In some
circumstances,  however, as a negotiated element of the transaction, the Company
may agree to register  such  securities  either at the time the  transaction  is
consummated,  or under certain conditions or at specified times thereafter.  The
issuance of substantial  additional securities and their potential sale into any
trading  market  that  might  develop  in the  Company's  securities  may have a
depressive effect upon such market.

         The Company will  participate in a business  opportunity only after the
negotiation  and  execution of a written  agreement.  Although the terms of such
agreement  cannot  be  predicted,  generally  such an  agreement  would  require
specific  representations and warranties by all of the parties thereto,  specify
certain events of default,  detail the terms of closing and the conditions which
must be satisfied by each of the parties thereto prior to such closing,  outline
the manner of bearing costs if the transaction is not closed, set forth remedies
upon default, and include miscellaneous other terms.

        As a  general  matter,  the  Company  anticipates  that it,  and/or  its
officers and principal  shareholders will enter into a letter of intent with the
management,  principals or owners of a prospective business opportunity prior to
signing a binding agreement. Such a letter of intent will set forth the terms of


<PAGE>

the proposed  acquisition but will not bind any of the parties to consummate the
transaction.  Execution  of a letter of intent  will by no means  indicate  that
consummation  of an acquisition is probable.  Neither the Company nor any of the
other  parties  to the  letter  of  intent  will  be  bound  to  consummate  the
acquisition unless and until a definitive  agreement  concerning the acquisition
as described  in the  preceding  paragraph is executed.  Even after a definitive
agreement  is  executed,  it is  possible  that  the  acquisition  would  not be
consummated  should  any  party  elect to  exercise  any right  provided  in the
agreement to terminate it on specified grounds.

        It  is  anticipated  that  the   investigation   of  specific   business
opportunities   and  the   negotiation,   drafting  and  execution  of  relevant
agreements,  disclosure documents and other instruments will require substantial
management time and attention and substantial  costs for accountants,  attorneys
and others.  If a decision  is made not to  participate  in a specific  business
opportunity,  the costs theretofore incurred in the related  investigation would
not be  recoverable.  Moreover,  because  many  providers  of goods and services
require  compensation  at the time or soon  after  the goods  and  services  are
provided, the inability of the Company to pay until an indeterminate future time
may make it impossible to procure goods and services.

        In all probability,  upon completion of an acquisition or merger,  there
will be a change in control  through  issuance of  substantially  more shares of
common stock.  Further,  in conjunction  with an  acquisition  or merger,  it is
likely that  management may offer to sell a controlling  interest at a price not
relative to or reflective of any value of the shares sold by management,  and at
a price which could not be achieved by individual shareholders at the time.

Investment Company Act and Other Regulation
-------------------------------------------

        The Company may  participate  in a business  opportunity  by purchasing,
trading or selling  the  securities  of such  business.  The  Company  does not,
however,  intend to  engage  primarily  in such  activities.  Specifically,  the
Company intends to conduct its activities so as to avoid being  classified as an
"investment  company" under the Investment  Company Act of 1940 (the "Investment
Act"),  and  therefore  to  avoid  application  of the  costly  and  restrictive
registration  and other  provisions of the Investment  Act, and the  regulations
promulgated thereunder.


<PAGE>

        Section  3(a)  of the  Investment  Act  contains  the  definition  of an
"investment  company," and it excludes any entity that does not engage primarily
in the business of investing, reinvesting or trading in securities, or that does
not engage in the business of investing,  owning, holding or trading "investment
securities"  (defined as "all  securities  other than  government  securities or
securities of  majority-owned  subsidiaries")  the value of which exceeds 40% of
the value of its total assets  (excluding  government  securities,  cash or cash
items).  The Company  intends to implement  its business  plan in a manner which
will  result  in the  availability  of this  exception  from the  definition  of
"investment company." Consequently, the Company's participation in a business or
opportunity  through the  purchase  and sale of  investment  securities  will be
limited.

        The  Company's  plan of  business  may  involve  changes in its  capital
structure,  management,  control and business,  especially  if it  consummates a
reorganization  as  discussed  above.  Each of these areas is  regulated  by the
Investment Act, in order to protect purchasers of investment company securities.
Since the Company will not register as an investment company,  stockholders will
not be afforded these protections.

        Any  securities  which the Company  might  acquire in  exchange  for its
Common Stock are expected to be  "restricted  securities"  within the meaning of
the  Securities  Act of 1933, as amended (the "Act").  If the Company  elects to
resell such securities, such sale cannot proceed unless a registration statement
has been  declared  effective by the  Securities  and Exchange  Commission or an
exemption from registration is available. Section 4(1) of the Act, which exempts
sales of securities  not involving a  distribution,  would in all  likelihood be
available to permit a private  sale.  Although  the plan of  operation  does not
contemplate resale of securities acquired,  if such a sale were to be necessary,
the Company would be required to comply with the provisions of the Act to effect
such resale.

        An  acquisition  made by the  Company  may be in an  industry  which  is
regulated or licensed by federal,  state or local  authorities.  Compliance with
such regulations can be expected to be a time-consuming and expensive process.

Competition
-----------

        The Company expects to encounter substantial  competition in its efforts
to  locate  attractive   opportunities,   primarily  from  business  development
companies,  venture  capital  partnerships  and  corporations,  venture  capital
affiliates  of  large  industrial  and  financial  companies,  small  investment
companies,   and  wealthy   individuals.   Many  of  these  entities  will  have
significantly greater experience, resources and managerial capabilities than the
Company and will  therefore be in a better  position  than the Company to obtain
access to  attractive  business  opportunities.  The Company also will  possibly
experience competition from other public "blank check" companies,  some of which
may have more funds available than does the Company.

No Rights of Dissenting Shareholders
------------------------------------

        The  Company does not  intend to provide  Company  shareholders with the
complete  disclosure   documentation  including  audited  financial  statements,
concerning a possible  target  company  prior to  acquisition,  because  Wyoming
Corporation  Act vests authority in the Board of Directors to decide and approve
matters  involving  acquisitions  within certain  restrictions.  Any transaction
would be structured as an acquisition,  not a merger,  with the Registrant being
the parent company and the acquiree being merged into a wholly owned subsidiary.
Therefore, a shareholder will have no right of dissent under Wyoming law.

No Target Candidates for Acquisition
------------------------------------

        None of the Company's Officers,  Directors,  promoters,  affiliates,  or
associates  have had any  preliminary  contact or  discussion  with any specific
candidate for acquisition. There are no present plans, proposals,  arrangements,
or  understandings  with any  representatives  of the owners of any  business or
company regarding the possibility of an acquisition transaction.

Administrative Offices
----------------------
     The  Company  currently  maintains  a mailing  address at 214 S. Center St,
Casper,  Wyoming,  82601. Other than this mailing address,  the Company does not
currently maintain any other office facilities, and does not anticipate the need
for maintaining  office  facilities at any time in the foreseeable  future.  The
Company  pays no rent or other fees for the use of this mailing  address.  Legal
counsel  will not be  involved  in any day to day  activities  but  will  handle
securities  related  and  corporate  matters for the  Company,  so long as he is
engaged to do so.

<PAGE>


Employees
---------

     The Company is a development  stage company and currently has no employees.
Management of the Company expects to use consultants,  attorneys and accountants
as necessary,  and does not anticipate a need to engage any full-time  employees
so long as it is seeking and  evaluating  business  opportunities.  The need for
employees  and their  availability  will be  addressed  in  connection  with the
decision  whether  or  not  to  acquire  or  participate  in  specific  business
opportunities. There is no current plan under which, remuneration may be paid to
or  accrued  for  the  benefit  of,  the  Company's  officers  prior  to,  or in
conjunction with, the completion of a business acquisition for services actually
rendered,  and the company has adopted a resolution  and policy which  precludes
payment of any  compensation  or finder's  fees to officers  or  directors.  See
"Executive   Compensation"   and  under  "Certain   Relationships   and  Related
Transactions."

Risk Factors
------------

1.  Conflicts of Interest.  Certain  conflicts of interest may exist between the
Company and its officers and directors.  They have other  business  interests to
which they  devote  their  attention,  and may be  expected to continue to do so
although  management time should be devoted to the business of the Company. As a
result,  conflicts  of  interest  may arise that can be  resolved  only  through
exercise of such judgment as is consistent with fiduciary duties to the Company.
See "Management," and "Conflicts of Interest."

        It is  anticipated  that  Company's  officers and directors may actively
negotiate or otherwise  consent to the purchase of a portion of his common stock
as a condition  to, or in  connection  with,  a proposed  merger or  acquisition
transaction.  In this  process,  the  Company's  officers  may  consider his own
personal  pecuniary  benefit  rather than the best  interests  of other  Company
shareholders, and the other Company shareholders are not expected to be afforded
the  opportunity  to  approve  or  consent  to  any  particular   stock  buy-out
transaction. See "Conflicts of Interest."

2. Need For Additional  Financing.  The Company has very limited funds, and such
funds  may  not  be  adequate  to  take  advantage  of  any  available  business
opportunities.  Even if the Company's funds prove to be sufficient to acquire an
interest in, or complete a transaction with, a business opportunity, the Company
may not have enough capital to exploit the opportunity.  The ultimate success of



<PAGE>


the Company may depend upon its ability to raise additional capital. The Company
has not investigated the  availability,  source,  or terms that might govern the
acquisition of additional  capital and will not do so until it determines a need
for additional financing. If additional capital is needed, there is no assurance
that funds will be available from any source or, if available,  that they can be
obtained on terms  acceptable to the Company.  If not  available,  the Company's
operations  will be  limited  to those  that  can be  financed  with its  modest
capital.

3.  Regulation of Penny Stocks.  The Company's  securities,  when  available for
trading,  will be subject to a  Securities  and  Exchange  Commission  rule that
imposes special sales practice  requirements upon  broker-dealers  who sell such
securities to persons other than established  customers or accredited investors.
For purposes of the rule, the phrase  "accredited  investors"  means, in general
terms, institutions with assets in excess of $5,000,000, or individuals having a
net worth in excess of  $1,000,000  or  having  an annual  income  that  exceeds
$200,000 (or that, when combined with a spouse's income, exceeds $300,000).  For
transactions  covered  by the  rule,  the  broker-dealer  must  make  a  special
suitability  determination for the purchaser and receive the purchaser's written
agreement  to the  transaction  prior to the  sale.  Consequently,  the rule may
affect the ability of broker-dealers  to sell the Company's  securities and also
may affect the ability of purchasers  in this offering to sell their  securities
in any market that might develop therefore.

       In addition,  the Securities and Exchange Commission has adopted a number
of rules to regulate  "penny  stocks." Such rules  include Rules 3a51-1,  15g-1,
15g-2,  15g-3,  15g-4,  15g-5,  15g-6,  15g-7,  and 15g-9  under the  Securities
Exchange  Act of 1934,  as amended.  Because the  securities  of the Company may
constitute "penny stocks" within the meaning of the rules, the rules would apply
to the Company and to its  securities.  The rules may further affect the ability
of owners of Shares to sell the  securities  of the  Company in any market  that
might develop for them.

        Shareholders should be aware that,  according to Securities and Exchange
Commission,  the  market  for penny  stocks has  suffered  in recent  years from
patterns of fraud and abuse. Such patterns include (i) control of the market for
the  security  by one or a few  broker-dealers  that are  often  related  to the
promoter or issuer; (ii) manipulation of prices through prearranged  matching of
purchases and sales and false and misleading press releases; (iii) "boiler room"


<PAGE>

practices   involving   high-pressure   sales  tactics  and  unrealistic   price
projections  by  inexperienced  sales persons;  (iv)  excessive and  undisclosed
bid-ask  differentials  and  markups  by  selling  broker-dealers;  and  (v) the
wholesale dumping of the same securities by promoters and  broker-dealers  after
prices  have been  manipulated  to a desired  level,  along  with the  resulting
inevitable  collapse of those prices and with consequent  investor  losses.  The
Company's  management is aware of the abuses that have occurred  historically in
the penny stock market. Although the Company does not expect to be in a position
to dictate the behavior of the market or of  broker-dealers  who  participate in
the market,  management will strive within the confines of practical limitations
to prevent the  described  patterns from being  established  with respect to the
Company's securities.

4. Lack of Operating  History. The Company was formed in December,  1993 for the
purpose of  registering a common stock  offering under the 1933 Act and engaging
in  consulting  services  for  clients as to  methods  to obtain  debt or equity
financing  for  start-up  companies.  Due to the special  risks  inherent in the
investigation,  acquisition,  or involvement in a new business opportunity,  The
Company must be regarded as a new or start-up venture with all of the unforeseen
costs, expenses, problems, and difficulties to which such ventures are subject.

5. No Assurance  of Success or  Profitability.  There is no  assurance  that the
Company  will  acquire a  favorable  business  opportunity.  Even if the Company
should become involved in a business opportunity,  there is no assurance that it
will  generate  revenues or profits,  or that the market price of the  Company's
Common Stock will be increased thereby.

6. Possible  Business - Not  Identified  and Highly  Risky.  The Company has not
identified and has no  commitments to enter into or acquire a specific  business
opportunity  and  therefore  can disclose the risks and hazards of a business or
opportunity that it may enter into in only a general manner, and cannot disclose
the risks and hazards of any specific  business or opportunity that it may enter
into. An investor can expect a potential business opportunity to be quite risky.
The Company's  acquisition of or  participation  in a business  opportunity will
likely be highly  illiquid  and could  result in a total loss to the Company and
its stockholders if the business or opportunity  proves to be unsuccessful.  See
Item 1 "Description of Business."

7. Type of Business  Acquired.  The type of  business to be acquired  may be one
that desires to avoid  effecting  its own public  offering and the  accompanying
expense, delays, uncertainties, and federal and state requirements which purport
to protect  investors.  Because of the  Company's  limited  capital,  it is more
likely than not that any  acquisition  by the Company will involve other parties
whose  primary  interest  is the  acquisition  of control  of a publicly  traded
company.   Moreover,   any  business   opportunity  acquired  may  be  currently
unprofitable or present other negative factors.

<PAGE>

8. Impracticability of Exhaustive Investigation. The Company's limited funds and
the lack of full-time  management will likely make it impracticable to conduct a
complete and  exhaustive  investigation  and analysis of a business  opportunity
before the Company  commits its capital or other resources  thereto.  Management
decisions,  therefore, will likely be made without detailed feasibility studies,
independent analysis, market surveys and the like which, if the Company had more
funds  available to it,  would be  desirable.  The Company will be  particularly
dependent in making decisions upon information provided by the promoter,  owner,
sponsor,  or  others  associated  with  the  business  opportunity  seeking  the
Company's participation.  A significant portion of the Company's available funds
may be  expended  for  investigative  expenses  and other  expenses  related  to
preliminary aspects of completing an acquisition transaction, whether or not any
business opportunity investigated is eventually acquired.

9. Lack of Diversification.  Because of the limited financial resources that the
Company  has, it is  unlikely  that the Company  will be able to  diversify  its
acquisitions or operations.  The Company's  probable  inability to diversify its
activities  into  more  than one area  will  subject  the  Company  to  economic
fluctuations within a particular business or industry and therefore increase the
risks associated with the Company's operations.

10.  Reliance upon  Financial  Statements.  The Company  generally  will require
audited financial  statements from companies that it proposes to acquire.  Given
cases where audited financials are not available,  the Company will have to rely
upon  interim  period  unaudited  information  received  from target  companies'
management that has not been verified by outside auditors.  The lack of the type
of independent  verification  which audited financial  statements would provide,
increases the risk that the Company,  in evaluating an  acquisition  with such a
target company, will not have the benefit of full and accurate information about
the  financial  condition  and recent  interim  operating  history of the target
company. This risk increases the prospect that the acquisition of such a company
might  prove to be an  unfavorable  one for the  Company  or the  holders of the
Company's securities.

         Moreover,  the Company will be subject to the  reporting  provisions of
the Securities  Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange  Act"), and thus
will be required to furnish certain information about significant  acquisitions,
including  audited  financial  statements  for any  business  that it  acquires.
Consequently,  acquisition  prospects that do not have, or are unable to provide
reasonable  assurances  that they will be able to obtain,  the required  audited
statements  would  not  be  considered  by the  Company  to be  appropriate  for
acquisition  so long  as the  reporting  requirements  of the  Exchange  Act are
applicable.  Should  the  Company,  during  the time it  remains  subject to the
reporting  provisions of the Exchange Act,  complete an acquisition of an entity
for which audited  financial  statements prove to be  unobtainable,  the Company
would  be  exposed  to  enforcement  actions  by  the  Securities  and  Exchange
Commission (the  "Commission")  and to corresponding  administrative  sanctions,
including  permanent  injunctions  against the Company and its  management.  The
legal and other costs of  defending a Commission  enforcement  action would have
material,  adverse consequences for the Company and its business. The imposition
of  administrative  sanctions  would  subject  the  Company to  further  adverse
consequences.

<PAGE>

         In addition, the lack of audited financial statements would prevent the
securities  of the Company from becoming  eligible for listing on NASDAQ,  or on
any existing stock exchange.  Moreover, the lack of such financial statements is
likely to  discourage  broker-dealers  from  becoming or  continuing to serve as
market  makers in the  securities  of the  Company.  Without  audited  financial
statements,  the Company  would almost  certainly be unable to offer  securities
under a registration  statement  pursuant to the Securities Act of 1933, and the
ability of the Company to raise  capital  would be  significantly  limited until
such financial statements were to become available.

11. Other  Regulation.  An acquisition  made by the Company may be of a business
that is  subject  to  regulation  or  licensing  by  federal,  state,  or  local
authorities.  Compliance with such  regulations and licensing can be expected to
be  a   time-consuming,   expensive  process  and  may  limit  other  investment
opportunities of the Company.

12. Dependence upon Management; Limited Participation of Management. The Company
currently has only two individuals who are serving as its officers and directors
on a part time basis.  The Company will be heavily  dependent upon their skills,
talents,  and  abilities to implement its business  plan,  and may, from time to
time, find that the inability of the officers and directors to devote their full
time  attention  to the  business of the Company  results in a delay in progress
toward implementing its business plan. See "Management."  Because investors will
not be able to evaluate  the merits of  possible  business  acquisitions  by the
Company, they should critically assess the information  concerning the Company's
officers and directors.

13. Lack of  Continuity in  Management.  The Company does not have an employment
agreement  with  its  officers  and  directors,  and as a  result,  there  is no
assurance they will continue to manage the Company in the future.  In connection
with  acquisition of a business  opportunity,  it is likely the current officers
and directors of the Company may resign  subject to compliance  with Section 14f
of the Securities  Exchange Act of 1934. A decision to resign will be based upon
the identity of the business opportunity and the nature of the transaction,  and
is  likely to occur  without  the vote or  consent  of the  stockholders  of the
Company.

14. Indemnification of Officers and Directors. Wyoming Revised Statutes provide
for the indemnification of its directors, officers, employees, and agents, under
certain  circumstances,  against  attorney's fees and other expenses incurred by
them in any  litigation  to  which  they  become  a  party  arising  from  their
association  with or activities on behalf of the Company.  The Company will also
bear  the  expenses  of  such  litigation  for any of its  directors,  officers,
employees,  or agents,  upon such person's promise to repay the Company therefor
if it is ultimately determined that any such person shall not have been entitled
to  indemnification.  This  indemnification  policy could result in  substantial
expenditures by the Company which it will be unable to recoup.

<PAGE>

15.  Director's  Liability  Limited.  Wyoming Revised Statutes exclude personal
liability  of its  directors  to the Company and its  stockholders  for monetary
damages for breach of fiduciary duty except in certain specified  circumstances.
Accordingly,  the Company will have a much more limited right of action  against
its directors than otherwise  would be the case.  This provision does not affect
the liability of any director under federal or applicable state securities laws.

16. Dependence upon Outside Advisors.  To supplement the business  experience of
its officers and directors,  the Company may be required to employ  accountants,
technical experts, appraisers,  attorneys, or other consultants or advisors. The
selection of any such advisors will be made by the Company's  President  without
any input from  stockholders.  Furthermore,  it is anticipated that such persons
may be engaged on an "as needed" basis  without a continuing  fiduciary or other
obligation to the Company.  In the event the President of the Company  considers
it  necessary  to hire  outside  advisors,  he may elect to hire persons who are
affiliates, if they are able to provide the required services.

17.  Leveraged  Transactions.  There is a possibility  that any acquisition of a
business  opportunity  by the Company may be  leveraged,  i.e.,  the Company may
finance the  acquisition of the business  opportunity  by borrowing  against the
assets of the  business  opportunity  to be acquired,  or against the  projected
future revenues or profits of the business opportunity.  This could increase the
Company's exposure to larger losses. A business  opportunity  acquired through a
leveraged  transaction  is profitable  only if it generates  enough  revenues to
cover the  related  debt and  expenses.  Failure  to make  payments  on the debt
incurred to purchase  the  business  opportunity  could  result in the loss of a
portion or all of the assets  acquired.  There is no assurance that any business
opportunity  acquired through a leveraged  transaction will generate  sufficient
revenues to cover the related debt and expenses.

18. Competition. The search for potentially profitable business opportunities is
intensely  competitive.  The  Company  expects  to  be  at a  disadvantage  when
competing  with  many  firms  that  have  substantially  greater  financial  and
management  resources  and  capabilities  than the  Company.  These  competitive
conditions  will  exist  in  any  industry  in  which  the  Company  may  become
interested.

19. No Foreseeable  Dividends.  The Company has not paid dividends on its common
stock and does not anticipate paying such dividends in the foreseeable future.

<PAGE>

20.  Loss of Control by Present  Management  and  Stockholders.  The Company may
consider an  acquisition in which the Company would issue as  consideration  for
the business  opportunity  to be acquired an amount of the Company's  authorized
but  unissued  Common  Stock that  would,  upon  issuance,  represent  the great
majority of the voting  power and equity of the  Company.  The result of such an
acquisition  would be that the acquired  company's  stockholders  and management
would  control the Company,  and the Company's  management  could be replaced by
persons  unknown at this time.  Such a merger would result in a greatly  reduced
percentage of ownership of the Company by its current shareholders. In addition,
the Company's major shareholders could sell control blocks of stock at a premium
price to the acquired company's stockholders.

21. No Public Market Exists.  There is no public market for the Company's common
stock,  and no  assurance  can be given  that a market  will  develop  or that a
shareholder ever will be able to liquidate his investment  without  considerable
delay, if at all. If a market should develop,  the price may be highly volatile.
Factors  such as those  discussed  in this  "Risk  Factors"  section  may have a
significant impact upon the market price of the securities offered hereby. Owing
to the low price of the  securities,  many brokerage firms may not be willing to
effect  transactions  in the  securities.  Even if a  purchaser  finds a  broker
willing  to  effect  a  transaction  in these  securities,  the  combination  of
brokerage commissions, state transfer taxes, if any, and any other selling costs
may exceed the selling price. Further, many lending institutions will not permit
the use of such securities as collateral for any loans.

22.  Rule 144  Sales.  All of the  outstanding  shares of Common  Stock  held by
present officers, directors, and stockholders are "restricted securities" within
the  meaning  of Rule 144 under  the  Securities  Act of 1933,  as  amended.  As
restricted  shares,  these  shares may be resold only  pursuant to an  effective
registration statement or under the requirements of Rule 144 or other applicable
exemptions  from  registration  under the Act and as required  under  applicable
state  securities  laws. Rule 144 provides in essence that a person who has held
restricted  securities  for one year may, under certain  conditions,  sell every
three months, in brokerage transactions, a number of shares that does not exceed
the  greater of 1.0% of a  company's  outstanding  common  stock or the  average
weekly trading volume during the four calendar weeks prior to the sale.

Item 6.          Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
                 Results of Operations

                 Financial Condition and Changes in Financial Condition

     No operations  were  conducted and no revenues were generated in the fiscal
year. The Company had no income in 1999. The Company at year end had no capital,
no cash, and no other assets.  The Company at year end was totally  illiquid and
needed cash infusions from  shareholders to provide  capital,  or loans from any
sources.

     Results of  Operations  for the year ended  December 31, 1999,  compared to
year ended December 31, 1998

     The Company incurred  expenses  totalling $1,149 in 1999 compared to $25 in
1998.  The Company had no operations  or revenues in 1999 or 1998.  The net loss
for 1999 was (1,149)  and for 1998 was ($25).  The net loss per share was ($.01)
in 1999 and 1998. A  continuation  of the trend of net losses should be expected
to continue in the future until some profitable operations are achieved, if ever
any are acquired or developed.

     Liquidity & Capital Resources
     -----------------------------

     The company had nominal  cash at year end and no other  capital  resources.
the company will be dependent on its  shareholders  for loans for expenses,  and
has no capital  availability  except through  private sales of treasure  stocks,
none of which has been arranged.

Item 8.           Changes  in  and  Disagreements  on  Accounting and  Financial
                  Disclosure
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

     Michael B. Johnson & Company,  CPA's of Denver,  Colorado  were retained in
1996 as auditors for the Company for fiscal year 1995 and thereafter.

     In  connection  with audits of two most recent fiscal years and any interim
period preceding resignation,  no disagreements exist with any former accountant
on any  matter  of  accounting  principles  or  practices,  financial  statement
disclosure, or auditing scope of procedure,  which disagreements if not resolved
to the  satisfaction  of the former  accountant  would  have  caused him to make
reference  in  connection   with  his  report  to  the  subject  matter  of  the
disagreement(s).

     The decision to change  accountants  was approved by the Board of Directors
as the registrant has no audit committee.

     The principal  accountants'  reports on the financial statements for any of
the past two years  contained no adverse  opinion or a disclaimer of opinion nor
was qualified as to uncertainty,  audit scope, or accounting  principles  except
for the "going concern" qualification.

Name                               Position Held            Tenure
----                               -------------            ------
Z. S. Merritt                      President and Director   Annual

Thomas Hockaday                    Secretary, Treasurer,    Annual
                                   and Director

Lance M. Scherck                   Director                 Annual

     The Directors  named above will serve until the next annual  meeting of the
Company's stockholders. thereafter, Directors will be elected for one-year terms
at the annual stockholders'  meeting.  Officers will hold their positions at the
pleasure of the Board of  Directors,  absent any  employment  agreement of which
none  currently  exists  or  is   contemplated.   There  is  no  arrangement  or
understanding  between the  Directors  and officers of the Company and any other
person  pursuant to which any  Director or officer was or is to be selected as a
Director or officer.

     The  Directors  and  officers of the  Company  will devote such time to the
Company's  affairs on an "as needed" basis, but less than 20 hours per month. As
a result,  the actual  amount of time which  they will  devote to the  Company's
affairs is unknown and is likely to vary substantially from month to month.

Energy  Corp.  since May 1997.  Mr.  Hockaday  has worked as a real estate sales
representative  and investment  advisor for Merit Realty in Casper,  Wyoming for
the past five  years (and  previously).  Mr.  Hockaday  attended  the  Community

Energies Minerals,  Inc. and Western  Technology and Research,  Inc. in the past

         Management  will devote  minimal time to the operations of the Company,
and any time spent will be devoted to screening and assessing and, if warranted,
negotiating to acquire business opportunities.

         None  of  the  Company's   officers  and/or   directors   receives  any
compensation for their  respective  services  rendered to the Company,  nor have
they received such compensation in the past. They all have agreed to act without
compensation  until authorized by the Board of Directors,  which is not expected
to occur  until  the  Company  has  generated  revenues  from  operations  after
consummation of a merger or  acquisition.  As of the date of filing this report,
the Company has no funds available to pay officers or directors.  Further,  none
of the  officers or  directors  is  accruing  any  compensation  pursuant to any
agreement with the Company. No retirement, pension, profit sharing, stock option
or insurance programs or other similar programs have been adopted by the Company
for the benefit of its employees.

     It is possible that, after the Company successfully consummates a merger or
acquisition  with an  unaffiliated  entity,  that entity may desire to employ or
retain one or a number of members of the Company's  management  for the purposes
of  providing  services to the  surviving  entity,  or otherwise  provide  other
compensation to such persons.  However, the Company has adopted a policy whereby
the offer of any post-transaction remuneration to members of management will not
be  a  consideration  in  the  Company's  decision  to  undertake  any  proposed
transaction.  Each member of management  has agreed to disclose to the Company's
Board of Directors any discussions  concerning possible  compensation to be paid
to them by any entity which proposes to undertake a transaction with the Company
and  further,  to  abstain  from  voting on such  transaction.  Therefore,  as a
practical  matter,  if each  member of the  Company's  Board of  Directors  were
offered  compensation  in any form from any  prospective  merger or  acquisition
candidate, the proposed transaction would not be approved by the Company's Board
of Directors as a result of the inability of the Board to affirmatively  approve
such a transaction.

Conflicts of Interest

     Members  of the  Company's  management  are  associated  with  other  firms
involved in a range of business  activities.  Consequently,  there are potential
inherent  conflicts of interest in their acting as officers and directors of the
Company.  Insofar as the officers and  directors  are engaged in other  business
activities, management anticipates it will devote only a minor amount of time to
the Company's affairs.

<PAGE>

     Certain of the officers  and  directors  of the Company are  directors  and
principal  shareholders  in  other  blank  check  companies,  and  officers  and
directors  of the Company  may in the future  become  shareholders,  officers or
directors of other  companies which may be formed for the purpose of engaging in
business  activities  similar to those  conducted by the  Company.  Accordingly,
direct  conflicts  of  interest  may arise in the  future  with  respect to such
individuals acting on behalf of the Company or other entities. Conflicts of
interest may arise with respect to opportunities  which come to the attention of
such  individuals in the  performance of their duties or otherwise.  The Company
does not  currently  have a right of first refusal  pertaining to  opportunities
that come to management's  attention insofar as such opportunities may relate to
the Company's proposed business operations.

     The officers and  directors  are, so long as they are officers or directors
of the Company,  subject to the restriction that all opportunities  contemplated
by the Company's plan of operation which come to their attention,  either in the
performance  of  their  duties  or in  any  other  manner,  will  be  considered
opportunities  of, and be made  available to the Company and the companies  that
they are affiliated with on an equal basis. A breach of this requirement will be
a breach of the fiduciary duties of the officer or director.  If the Company and
the companies with which the officers and directors are  affiliated  both desire
to take advantage of an opportunity, then the Board of Directors has agreed that
said opportunity  should be available to each such company in the order in which
such  companies  registered  or became  current in the filing of annual  reports
under the Exchange Act  subsequent  to January 1, 1997.  All directors may still
individually take advantage of opportunities if the Company should decline to do
so. Except as set forth above, the Company has not adopted any other conflict of
interest policy with respect to such transactions.

     The Company's Board of Directors has adopted a policy that the Company will
not seek a merger with,  or  acquisition  of, any entity in which any officer or
director  serves as an officer  or  director  or in which  they or their  family
members own or hold a  controlling  ownership  interest.  Although  the Board of
Directors  could  elect to change this  policy,  the Board of  Directors  has no
present intention to do so.

     There can be no assurance  that  management  will resolve all  conflicts of
interest in favor of the Company.


Item 10.          Executive Compensation
---------------------------------------------

         The Company  accrued no  compensation  to the  executive  officers as a
group for  services  rendered to the Company in all  capacities  during the 1999
fiscal year. No one executive officer received,  or has accrued for his benefit,
in excess of $60,000  for the year.  No cash  bonuses  were or are to be paid to
such persons.

         The Company does not have any employee incentive stock option plans.

         There are no plans pursuant to which cash or non-cash  compensation was
paid or  distributed  during the last fiscal year,  or is proposed to be paid or
distributed in the future, to  the executive officers of the Company.   No other
compensation not described above was paid or distributed  during the last fiscal
year to the executive  officers of the Company.  There are no compensatory plans
or  arrangements,  with respect to any  executive  office of the Company,  which
result or will result from the resignation,  retirement or any other termination
of such individual's  employment with the Company or from a change in control of
the Company or a change in the individual's  responsibilities following a change
in control.

Item 12.       Certain Relationships and Related Transactions
---------------------------------------------------------------

    ITEM 7.           CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS.

     The Company  issued to its founding  Directors a total of 120,000 shares of
Common Stock for a total of $300.  Subsequently,  in 1997, 15 persons  purchased
shares totaling 360,000 at $.0033 per share totaling  $1,500.  In December 1998,
the Company sold 100,000  shares to each  Director at $.0025 per share are total
of 300,000 shares for $750.  Certificates  evidencing the Common Stock issued by
the Company to these persons have all been stamped with a restrictive legend and
are subject to stop transfer orders by the Company.  For additional  information
concerning  restrictions  that are imposed upon the  securities  held by current
stockholders  and the  responsibilities  of such stock  holders  to comply  with
federal  securities  laws in the  disposition  of such Common  Stock,  see "Risk
Factors - Rule 14 Sales."

         No officer,  director,  or  affiliate of the Company has or proposes to
have any  direct or  indirect  material  interest  in any asset  proposed  to be
acquired  by the Company  through  security  holdings,  contracts,  options,  or
otherwise.

         The Company has adopted a policy under which any consulting or finder's
fee  that  may be  paid to a third  party  for  consulting  services  to  assist
management  in evaluating a prospective  business  opportunity  would be paid in
stock or in cash.  Any such  issuance of stock would be made on an ad hoc basis.
Accordingly,  the Company is unable to predict  whether or in what amount such a
stock issuance might be made.

         Although management has no current plans to cause the Company to do so,
it is possible that the Company may enter into an agreement  with an acquisition
candidate requiring the sale of all or a portion of the Common Stock held by the
Company's  current  stockholders  to the  acquisition  candidate  or  principals
thereof,  or to other individuals or business entities,  or requiring some other
form of payment to the Company's current  stockholders,  or requiring the future
employment  of specified  officers  and payment of salaries to them.  It is more
likely  than  not  that  any  sale  of  securities  by  the  Company's   current
stockholders  to an  acquisition  candidate  would  be at a price  substantially
higher than that  originally paid by such  stockholders.  Any payment to current
stockholders  in the context of an  acquisition  involving  the Company would be
determined  entirely by the largely  unforeseeable  terms of a future  agreement
with an unidentified business entity.

                          INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT


Board of Directors
Hi-Plains Energy Corp.
Casper, WY

We have audited the  accompanying  balance sheet of HI-PLAINS  ENERGY CORP.,  (A
Development  Stage  Company) as of December  31, 1999 and 1998,  and the related
statements of operations,  stockholders'  equity,  and cash flows for the period
May 27, 1997  (inception)  through December 31, 1999 and for the fiscal years of
December  31,  1999 and 1998 then  ended.  These  financial  statements  are the
responsibility of the Company's management.  Our responsibility is to express an
opinion on these financial statements based on our audit.

We conducted our audit in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards.
These standards  require that we 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.
We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion,  the financial  statements  referred to above present fairly, in
all material  respects,  the financial position of HI-PLAINS ENERGY CORP., as of
December 31, 1999 and 1998,  and the results of their  operations and their cash
flows for the period May 27, 1997 (inception)  through December 31, 1999 and the
fiscal  years of  December  31,  1999 and 1998 then ended,  in  conformity  with
generally accepted accounting principles.

contingent  assets and  liabilities at the date of the financial  statements and
the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period.
Actual results could differ from those estimates.

for the years in which the  difference  are expected to reverse.  Deferred taxes
are recognized if it is more likely than not that the future tax benefit will be
realized.
