                      2000 NON-QUALIFIED STOCK OPTION PLAN

     This Amended and Restated 2000  Non-Qualified  Stock Option Plan  correctly
sets forth the provisions of the Amended and Restated 2000  Non-Qualified  Stock
Option Plan.

                                    ARTICLE I
                            ESTABLISHMENT AND PURPOSE

     I.1  Establishment.  TCOM  Ventures,  a Delaware  corporation  ("Company"),
hereby establishes a Non-Qualified stock option plan for employees,  independent
contractors  and  consultants  providing  material  services  other  than  those
independent  contractors and  consultants  involved  capital-raising  activities
including  fundraising  public  relations,  to the  Company  and its present and
future  subsidiaries  which shall be known as the  "AMENDED  AND  RESTATED  2000
NON-QUALIFIED  STOCK OPTION PLAN" (the  "Plan").  None of the options  issued to
employees pursuant to the Plan may constitute incentive stock options within the
meaning of Section 422 of the Internal Revenue Code.  Options issued pursuant to
the Plan shall constitute non-qualified options.

     I.2 Purpose. The purpose of this Plan is to enhance shareholder  investment
by attracting,  retaining and motivating key employees,  independent contractors
and consultants of the Company, and to encourage stock ownership by such persons
by  providing  them  with a means  to  acquire  a  proprietary  interest  in the
Company's success.

               sale  prices of the Stock for the 20  trading  days  prior to the
               date of grant of this option, provided that if no sale is made on

                                   ARTICLE III
                          ELIGIBILITY AND PARTICIPATION

     III.1  Eligibility  and  Participation.   All  Employees  are  eligible  to
participate in this Plan and receive  Non-qualified  Options under the Plan. All
Consultants  are eligible to participate in this Plan and receive  Non-qualified
Options hereunder.  Optionees in the Plan shall be selected by the Board, in its
sole discretion,  from among those Employees and Consultants who, in the opinion
of the Board,  are in a  position  to  contribute  materially  to the  Company's
continued growth and development and to its long-term financial success.

                                   ARTICLE IV
                                 ADMINISTRATION

     IV.1  Administration.  The Board shall be responsible for administering the
Plan.

          (a) The Board is  authorized  to  interpret  the Plan;  to  prescribe,
     amend,  and rescind rules and regulations  relating to the Plan; to provide
     for conditions and assurances  deemed necessary or advisable to protect the
     interests of the Company; and to make all other determinations necessary or
     advisable   for   the   administration   of   the   Plan.   Determinations,
     interpretations,  or other actions made or taken by the Board,  pursuant to
     the provisions of this Plan,  shall be final and binding and conclusive for
     all purposes and upon all persons.

          (b) At the discretion of the Board, this Plan may be administered by a
     Committee which shall be an executive committee of the Board, consisting of
     not less than two members of the Board.  The members of such  Committee may
     be  directors  who are  eligible to receive  Options  under this Plan,  but
     Options may be granted to such persons only by action of the full Board and
     not by action of the  Committee.  At such time as the Company has any class
     of equity  security  which is  registered  pursuant  to  Section  12 of the
     Securities  Exchange Act of 1934, the Committee shall consist solely of two
     or more Non-Employee  Directors as that term is defined in Rule 16b-3 under
     that Act. Such Committee  shall have full power and  authority,  subject to
     the  limitations of the Plan and any  limitations  imposed by the Board, to
     construe,  interpret and  administer  this Plan and to make  determinations
     which shall be final,  conclusive and binding upon all persons,  including,
     without limitation,  the Company,  the shareholders,  the directors and any
     persons having any interests in any Options which may be granted under this
     Plan,  and, by  resolution  or  resolution  providing  for the creation and
     issuance of any such Option, to fix the terms upon which, the time or times
     at or within  which,  the price or prices at which any such  shares  may be
     purchased  from the Company upon the  exercise of such Option.  Such terms,
     time or times and price or prices  shall,  in every  case,  be set forth or
     incorporated by reference in the instrument or instruments  evidencing such
     Option, and shall be consistent with the provisions of this Plan.

          (c) If the  Committee has been  appointed,  the Board may from time to
     time remove members from, or add members to, the  Committee.  The Board may
     terminate the Committee at any time. Vacancies on the Committee,  howsoever
     caused, shall be filled by the Board. The Committee shall select one of its
     members as  Chairman,  and shall hold  meetings at such times and places as
     the Chairman may  determine.  A majority of the Committee at which a quorum
     is present, or acts reduced to or approved in writing by all of the members
     of the Committee,  shall be the valid acts of the Committee. A quorum shall
     consist of two-thirds (2/3) of the members of the Committee.

          (d) Where the Committee  has been created by the Board,  references in
     this Plan to actions  to be taken by the Board  shall be deemed to refer to
     the Committee as well, except where limited by this Plan or by the Board.

          (e)  The  Board  shall  have  all  of  the  enumerated  powers  of the
     Committee,  but shall not be limited to such powers. No member of the Board
     or the Committee  shall be liable for any action or  determination  made in
     good faith with respect to the Plan or any Option granted under it.

                            STOCK SUBJECT TO THE PLAN

     V.1 Number.  The total number of shares of Stock hereby made  available and
reserved  for issuance  under the Plan upon  exercise of  Non-Qualified  Options
shall be 4,000,000. The aggregate number of shares of Stock available under this
Plan shall be subject to adjustment as provided in Section 5.3. The total number
of shares of Stock may be  authorized  but unissued  shares of Stock,  or Shares
acquired  by  purchase  as  directed  by the  Board  from  time  to  time in its
discretion, to be used for issuance upon exercise of Options granted hereunder.

     V.2 Unused  Stock.  If an Option shall  expire or terminate  for any reason
without having been exercised in full, the  unpurchased  shares of Stock subject
thereto shall (unless the Plan shall have terminated) become available for other
Options under the Plan.

     V.3  Adjustment  in  Capitalization.  In the  event  of any  change  in the
outstanding   shares  of  Stock  by  reason  of  a  stock   dividend  or  split,
recapitalization,  reclassification,  or other  similar  corporate  change,  the
aggregate  number  of  shares  of  Stock  set  forth  in  Section 5.1  shall  be
appropriately  adjusted by the Board, whose  determination  shall be conclusive;
provided  however,  that fractional shares shall be rounded to the nearest whole
share.  In any such case,  the number and kind of shares that are subject to any
Option  (including any Option  outstanding  after termination of employment) and
the Option price per share shall be proportionately  and appropriately  adjusted
without  any  change in the  aggregate  Option  price to be paid  therefor  upon
exercise of the Option.

                                   ARTICLE VI
                              DURATION OF THE PLAN

     VI.1 Duration of the Plan.  Subject to approval of  shareholders,  the Plan
shall be in effect for ten years from the date of its adoption by the Board. Any
Options  outstanding  at the  end of said  period  shall  remain  in  effect  in
accordance  with their terms.  The Plan shall  terminate  before the end of said
period if all Stock subject to it has been purchased pursuant to the exercise of
Options granted under the Plan.

                                   ARTICLE VII
                             TERMS OF STOCK OPTIONS

     VII.1 Grant of Options.  Subject to Section 5.1,  Options may be granted to
Employees or  Consultants at any time and from time to time as determined by the
Board.  The Board shall have complete  discretion in  determining  the terms and
conditions  and  number of  Options  granted to each  Optionee.  In making  such
determinations,  the Board may take into account the nature of services rendered
by such Employees or Consultants,  their present and potential  contributions to
the Company and its Subsidiary Corporations, and such other factors as the Board
in its discretion shall deem relevant.

          (a) The Board is expressly  given the  authority  to issue  amended or
     replacement  Options with  respect to shares of Stock  subject to an Option
     previously  granted  hereunder.  An amended  Option  amends the terms of an
     Option  previously  granted and thereby  supersedes the previous  Option. A
     replacement Option is similar to a new Option granted hereunder except that
     it provides  that it shall be  forfeited  to the extent  that a  previously
     granted  Option is  exercised,  or except that its issuance is  conditioned
     upon the termination of a previously granted Option.

     VII.2 Option  Agreement;  Terms and  Conditions  to Apply Unless  Otherwise
Specified. As determined by the Board on the date of grant, each Option shall be
evidenced by an Option  agreement  (the "Option  Agreement")  that  includes the
non-transferability  provisions  required by Section 10.2  hereof and specifies:
whether the Option is a Non-qualified  Option; the Option price; the duration of
the  Option;  the  number of shares of Stock to which the  Option  applies;  any
vesting or  exercisability  restrictions  which the Board may  impose.  All such
terms and  conditions  shall be  determined by the Board at the time of grant of
the Option.

                                       4
<PAGE>

     (a)  If not  otherwise  specified  by the Board,  the  following  terms and
          conditions shall apply to Options granted under the Plan:

          (i)  Term.  The  duration  of the Option  shall be five years from the
               date of grant.

          (ii) Exercise of Option.  Unless an Option is  terminated  as provided
               hereunder, an Optionee may exercise his Option for up to, but not
               in excess  of,  the  amounts  of  shares  subject  to the  Option
               specified  hereafter,  based on the Optionee's number of years of
               continuous  service with the Company or a Subsidiary  Corporation
               from the date on which the Option is  granted.  In the case of an
               Optionee  who  is an  Employee,  continuous  service  shall  mean
               continuous  employment;  in  the  case  of an  Optionee  who is a
               Consultant,   continuous   service  shall  mean  the   continuous
               provision of consulting  services.  In applying said limitations,
               the  amount  of  shares,  if  any,  previously  purchased  by the
               Optionee  under the Option  shall be counted in  determining  the
               amount of shares  the  Optionee  can  purchase  at any time.  The
               Optionee may exercise his Option in the following amounts:

               (A)  After one year of such continuous services, up to but not in
                    excess of twenty percent of the shares originally subject to
                    the Option;

               (B)  After two years of such continuous  services,  up to but not
                    in excess of forty percent of the shares originally  subject
                    to the Option;

               (C)  After three years of such continuous services, up to but not
                    in excess of sixty percent of the shares originally  subject
                    to the Option;

               (D)  After four years of such continuous services,  up to but not
                    in excess of eighty percent of the shares originally subject
                    to the Option; and

               (E)  At the  expiration  of the  fifth  year of  such  continuous
                    services, the Option may be exercised,  in whole or in part,
                    and at any time and from time to time within its term but it
                    shall not be  exercisable  after the expiration of six years
                    from  the  date on which it was  granted  (five  years  with
                    respect to Significant Shareholders).

          (b) The Board shall be free to specify terms and conditions other than
     those set forth above, in its discretion.

     VII.3 Option  Price.  The Option Price shall be  determined by the Board of
Directors,   except  that  Option  Price  for  consultants   and/or  independent
contractors  may not be less than Fair  Market  Value on the date of grant.  The
Option  exercise price shall be subject to adjustment as provided in Section 5.3
above.

     VII.4 Term of Options.  Each Option  shall expire at such time as the Board
shall determine when it is granted, provided however that under no circumstances
shall a  Non-qualified  Option be exercisable  later than the tenth  anniversary
date of its grant.

     VII.5  Exercise  of  Options.  Options  granted  under  the  Plan  shall be
exercisable at such times and be subject to such  restrictions and conditions as
the Board  shall in each  instance  approve,  which need not be the same for all
Optionees.

     VII.6  Payment.  Payment  for all shares of Stock shall be made at the time
that an Option, or any part thereof, is exercised, and no shares shall be issued
until full payment therefor has been made. Payment shall be made (i) in cash, or
(ii) if acceptable to the Board, in Stock or in some other form.

                      CERTIFICATES, SHAREHOLDER PRIVILEGES

     VIII.1 Written Notice. An Optionee wishing to exercise an Option shall give
written notice to the Company,  in the form and manner  prescribed by the Board.
Full payment for the shares exercised  pursuant to the Option must accompany the

     VIII.2  Issuance of Stock  Certificates.  As soon as practicable  after the
receipt of written notice and payment, the Company shall deliver to the Optionee
or to a permitted  nominee of the Optionee a certificate or certificates for the
requisite number of shares of Stock.

     VIII.3  Privileges  of a  Shareholder.  An  Optionee  or any  other  person
entitled  to  exercise  an Option  under  this Plan  shall not have  stockholder
privileges  with  respect to any Stock  covered by the Option  until the date of
issuance of a stock certificate for such stock.

                                   ARTICLE IX
                      TERMINATION OF EMPLOYMENT OR SERVICES

     IX.1 Death.  If an  Optionee's  employment  in the case of an Employee,  or
provision of services as a Consultant in the case of a Consultant, terminates by
reason of death, the Option may thereafter be exercised at any time prior to the
expiration  date of the Option or within 12 months after the date of such death,
whichever  period is the  shorter,  by the person or persons  entitled  to do so
under the Optionee's  will or, if the Optionee shall fail to make a testamentary
disposition  of  an  Option  or  shall  die  intestate,   the  Optionee's  legal
representative or  representatives.  The Option shall be exercisable only to the
extent that such Option was exercisable as of the date of death.

     IX.2  Termination  other than for Cause or Due to Death. In the event of an
Optionee's  termination of employment in the case of an Employee, or termination
of the provision of services as a Consultant in the case of a Consultant,  other
than by reason of death, the Optionee may exercise such portion of his Option as
was exercisable by him at the date of such termination (the "Termination  Date")
at any time within three months of the Termination Date; provided, however, that
where the Optionee is an Employee,  and is terminated  due to disability  within
the meaning of Code  422,  he may  exercise  such  portion of his  Option as was
exercisable by him on his  Termination  Date within one year of his  Termination
Date. In any event,  the Option cannot be exercised  after the expiration of the
term of the Option. Options not exercised within the applicable period specified
above shall terminate.

          (a) In the case of an Employee,  a change of duties or position within
     the Company or an assignment of employment in a Subsidiary  Corporation  or
     Parent  Corporation  of the Company,  if any, or from such a Corporation to
     the  Company,  shall not be  considered a  termination  of  employment  for
     purposes of this Plan.

          (b) The Option  Agreements  may contain such  provisions  as the Board
     shall  approve with  reference to the effect of approved  leaves of absence
     upon termination of employment.

     IX.3  Termination for Cause.  In the event of an Optionee's  termination of
employment  in the case of an  Employee,  or  termination  of the  provision  of
services as a Consultant in the case of a Consultant,  which  termination  is by
the Company or a Subsidiary Corporation for cause, any Option or Options held by
him under the Plan, to the extent not exercised before such  termination,  shall
terminate upon notice of termination for cause.

                                    ARTICLE X
                               RIGHTS OF OPTIONEES

the right of the Company or a Subsidiary Corporation to terminate any Employee's
employment,  or any  Consultant's  services,  at any time,  nor confer  upon any
Employee  any right to  continue  in the employ of the  Company or a  Subsidiary
Corporation, or upon any Consultant any right to continue to provide services to
the Company or a Subsidiary Corporation.

                          OPTIONEE-EMPLOYEE'S TRANSFER
                               OR LEAVE OF ABSENCE

     XI.1 Optionee-Employee's Transfer or Leave of Absence. For purposes of this
Plan:

          (a) A transfer of an Optionee who is an Employee from the Company to a
     Subsidiary Corporation or Parent Corporation,  or from one such Corporation
     to another, or

          (b) A leave of absence for such an Optionee  which is duly  authorized
     in writing by the Company or a Subsidiary Corporation shall not be deemed a
     termination of employment.  However, under no circumstances may an Optionee
     exercise an Option  during any leave of absence,  unless  authorized by the
     Board.

                                   ARTICLE XII
                          AMENDMENT, MODIFICATION, AND
                             TERMINATION OF THE PLAN

     XII.1 Amendment, Modification, and Termination of the Plan.

          (a) The  Board  may at any time  terminate,  and from time to time may
     amend or modify the Plan,  provided,  however,  that no such  action of the
     Board, without approval of the shareholders, may:

               (i)  increase  the total  amount of Stock which may be  purchased
          through  Options  granted  under  the  Plan,  except  as  provided  in
          Article V;

               (ii) change the class of  Employees  or  Consultants  eligible to
          receive Options;

          (b) No amendment,  modification,  or  termination of the Plan shall in
     any manner adversely  affect any outstanding  Option under the Plan without
     the consent of the Optionee holding the Option.  ARTICLE XIII  ACQUISITION,
     MERGER OR LIQUIDATION

     XIII.1 Acquisition.

          (a) In the  event  that an  Acquisition  occurs  with  respect  to the
     Company,  the Company  shall have the option,  but not the  obligation,  to
     cancel Options outstanding as of the effective date of Acquisition, whether
     or not such  Options  are then  exercisable,  in return for  payment to the
     Optionees  of an  amount  equal  to a  reasonable  estimate  of  an  amount
     (hereinafter  the "Spread") equal to the difference  between the net amount
     per share  payable in the  Acquisition  or as a result of the  Acquisition,
     less  the  exercise  price  of  the  Option.   In  estimating  the  Spread,
     appropriate  adjustments  to give  effect to the  existence  of the Options
     shall be made, such as deeming the Options to have been exercised, with the
     Company receiving the exercise price payable  thereunder,  and treating the
     shares  receivable  upon  exercise of the Options as being  outstanding  in
     determining the net amount per share.

          (b) For  purposes of this  section,  an  "Acquisition"  shall mean any
     transaction in which substantially all of the Company's assets are acquired
     or in which a controlling  amount of the Company's  outstanding  shares are
     acquired,  in each case by a single person or entity or an affiliated group
     of persons and entities. For purposes of this section, a controlling amount
     shall mean more than 50% of the issued and  outstanding  shares of stock of
     the Company.  The Company  shall have such an option  regardless of how the
     Acquisition is effectuated, whether by direct purchase, through a merger or
     similar corporate transaction, or otherwise. In cases where the acquisition
     consists of the  acquisition  of assets of the Company,  the net amount per
     share shall be  calculated on the basis of the net amount  receivable  with
     respect to shares upon a distribution  and liquidation by the Company after
     giving effect to expenses and charges,  including but not limited to taxes,
     payable by the Company before the liquidation can be completed.

                                       7
<PAGE>

          (c)  Where  the  Company  does not  exercise  its  option  under  this
     Section 13.1 the remaining  provisions of this Article XIII shall apply, to
     the extent applicable.

     XIII.2  Merger or  Consolidation.  Subject  to any  required  action by the
shareholders, if the Company shall be the surviving corporation in any merger or
consolidation,  any Option granted  hereunder  shall pertain to and apply to the
securities  to which a holder of the  number of shares of Stock  subject  to the
Option would have been entitled in such merger or consolidation.

     XIII.3 Other Transactions. A dissolution or a liquidation of the Company or
a merger and consolidation in which the Company is not the surviving corporation
shall cause every Option outstanding  hereunder to terminate as of the effective
date of such dissolution,  liquidation,  merger or consolidation.  However,  the
Optionee either (i) shall be offered a firm commitment  whereby the resulting or
surviving  corporation in a merger or consolidation  will tender to the Optionee
an  option  (the  "Substitute  Option")  to  purchase  its  shares  on terms and
conditions both as to number of shares and otherwise,  which will  substantially
preserve  to the  Optionee  the rights and  benefits  of the Option  outstanding
hereunder granted by the Company, or (ii) shall have the right immediately prior
to such  dissolution,  liquidation,  merger,  or  consolidation  to exercise any
unexercised  Options whether or not then exercisable,  subject to the provisions
of this Plan.  The Board shall have  absolute  and  uncontrolled  discretion  to
determine  whether the Optionee has been offered a firm  commitment  and whether
the tendered  Substitute Option will substantially  preserve to the Optionee the
rights and  benefits  of the Option  outstanding  hereunder.  In any event,  any
Substitute   Option  for  an  Incentive  Stock  Option  shall  comply  with  the
requirements of Code Section 424(a).

                                   ARTICLE XIV
                             SECURITIES REGISTRATION

     XIV.1 Securities Registration.  In the event that the Company shall deem it
necessary or desirable to register under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended,
or any other applicable statute,  any Options or any Stock with respect to which
an Option may be or shall have been granted or exercised, or to qualify any such
Options or Stock under the  Securities  Act of 1933,  as  amended,  or any other
statute, then the Optionee shall cooperate with the Company and take such action
as is  necessary  to permit  registration  or  qualification  of such Options or
Stock.

     XIV.2 Representations. Unless the Company has determined that the following
representation  is unnecessary,  each person exercising an Option under the Plan
may be required by the  Company,  as a condition  to the  issuance of the shares
pursuant to exercise of the Option, to make a representation in writing (i) that
he is acquiring  such shares for his own account for  investment  and not with a
view to, or for sale in connection  with, the  distribution of any part thereof,
(ii) that  before any transfer in connection with the resale of such shares,  he
will obtain the written  opinion of counsel for the  Company,  or other  counsel
acceptable to the Company, that such shares may be transferred.  The Company may
also require that the  certificates  representing  such shares  contain  legends
reflecting the foregoing.

                                   ARTICLE XV
                                 TAX WITHHOLDING

     XV.1  Tax  Withholding.  Whenever  shares  of  Stock  are to be  issued  in
satisfaction  of Options  exercised  under this Plan, the Company shall have the
power to require  the  recipient  of the Stock to remit to the Company an amount
sufficient to satisfy federal, state, and local withholding tax requirements.

                                 INDEMNIFICATION

     XVI.1  Indemnification.  To the extent permitted by law, each person who is
or shall have been a member of the Board shall be indemnified  and held harmless
by the Company against and from any loss, cost,  liability,  or expense that may
be imposed upon or reasonably  incurred by him in  connection  with or resulting
from any claim,  action,  suit,  or  proceeding to which he may be a party or in
which he may be involved  by reason of any action  taken or failure to act under
the Plan and  against  and from any and all  amounts  paid by him in  settlement
thereof, with the Company's approval, or paid by him in satisfaction of judgment
in any such action,  suit, or proceeding against him, provided he shall give the
Company an opportunity, at its own expense, to handle and defend the same before
he undertakes to handle and defend it on his own behalf.  The foregoing right of
indemnification shall not be exclusive of any other rights of indemnification to
which such persons may be entitled under the Company's articles of incorporation
or bylaws,  as a matter of law, or  otherwise,  or any power that the Company or
any Subsidiary Corporation may have to indemnify them or hold them harmless.

                                  ARTICLE XVII
                               REQUIREMENTS OF LAW

     XVII.1  Requirements  of Law.  The  granting of Options and the issuance of
shares  of  Stock  upon the  exercise  of an  Option  shall  be  subject  to all
applicable  laws,  rules,  and  regulations,   and  to  such  approvals  by  any
governmental agencies or national securities exchanges as may be required.

     XVII.2  Governing  Law. The Plan, and all  agreements  hereunder,  shall be
construed in accordance with and governed by the laws of the State of Colorado.

                                  ARTICLE XVIII

     XVIII.1 Effective Date. The Plan shall be effective on July 21, 2000

                        NO OBLIGATION TO EXERCISE OPTION

     XIX.1 No Obligation to Exercise.  The granting of an Option shall impose no
obligation upon the holder thereof to exercise such Option.

                                   ARTICLE XX
                              STOCKHOLDER APPROVAL

     THIS AMENDED AND RESTATED 2000 NON-QUALIFIED  STOCK OPTION PLAN was adopted
by the Board of Directors of TCOM  Ventures  Corporation  on July 21, 2000 to be

                                  Risk Factors

     You should  carefully  consider the risks  described  below before deciding
whether  to invest in TCOM  Ventures  Corporation.  If any of the  contingencies
discussed  in the  following  paragraphs  or  other  materially  adverse  events
actually  materialize,   the  business,   financial  condition  and  results  of
operations of TCOM Ventures could be materially and adversely affected.  In such
a case, the trading price of TCOM Ventures' common stock could decline,  and you
could lose all or part of your investment.

TCOM Ventures Has Experienced Difficulty Implementing Its Business Plan

     TCOM Ventures has an ambitious business plan that it has been attempting to
implement  since  April  1999.  Since the  company  has  experienced  difficulty
obtaining financing from traditional sources,  execution of most of its business
plan has been delayed.  There can be no assurance  that the business plan can be
implemented and successfully executed.

Substantial  Doubt  Exists as to TCOM  Ventures'  Ability to Continue as a Going
Concern

     The independent auditor's report on the June 30, 1999, financial statements
of TCOM Ventures  contains an  explanatory  paragraph  that  indicates  there is
substantial  doubt as to the company's  ability to continue as a going  concern.
Management  projects  that TCOM  Ventures  will continue to incur net losses and
experience  negative  cash flow for the  foreseeable  future.  This will require
substantial  amounts of capital.  As of the date of this prospectus,  management
does not have commitments for additional  financing and cannot be sure that TCOM
Ventures will be able to obtain any such  commitments at all or upon  reasonable
terms and conditions.

Failure  to  Integrate  Acquisitions  Successfully  May  Adversely  Affect  TCOM
Ventures' Operating Results

     The success of TCOM  Ventures  will depend to a great extent on its ability
to  integrate  the  operations  and  management  of the  businesses  that it has
acquired  and  businesses  that  it may  acquire  in the  future.  Consolidating
acquired  businesses and integrating  regional operations may take a significant
period of time, will place a significant strain on TCOM Ventures'  resources and
could prove to be more  expensive  than  expected.  TCOM  Ventures  may increase
expenditures  to accelerate the integration  and  consolidation  of its acquired
operations,  but it cannot  guarantee  this  result nor can the  company  assure
investors  that its resources will be sufficient to  successfully  implement its
expansion program.

Management's Planned Aggressive Growth Will Strain TCOM Ventures' Resources

     Management  intends  to expand  the  operations  of TCOM  Ventures  rapidly
through  acquisitions  by  aggressively  pursuing  companies that provide or can
provide a national network system and infrastructure and then expand the network
through the  acquisition  and  installation  of necessary  equipment,  extensive
marketing  efforts in new locations and the  employment of qualified  technical,
marketing  and  customer  support  personnel.  This  rapid  growth  will place a
significant strain on our managerial, operational and financial resources.

     To manage our growth,  management  must  improve the  operational  systems,
procedures and controls of TCOM Ventures on a timely basis by  centralizing  and
standardizing  TCOM Ventures'  operations  and upgrading and replacing  outdated
infrastructure.  If the  demands  placed on its network  resources  by a growing
subscriber  base  outpace  its growth  and  operating  plans,  the  quality  and
reliability of our service may decline and  relationships  with customers may be
harmed as a result.

If TCOM  Ventures Is Unable to  Establish  Satisfactory  Peering  Relationships,
Costs May Increase

     Management intends to establish and maintain  "peering"  relationships with
other ISPs and with CLECs so that TCOM  Ventures  can exchange  traffic  without
paying  transit  costs.  If management is unable to establish  adequate  peering
relationships,  our costs will increase and our revenues  could  decrease.  This
would harm the business,  financial  condition and results of operations of TCOM
Ventures.

If Suppliers  Fail to Provide TCOM Ventures With The Equipment it Needs,  We May
Lose Customers

     There are only a limited number of businesses that can supply TCOM Ventures
with the key  components  it will need for its planned  network  infrastructure,
including  telecommunications  services  and  networking  equipment.  Management
cannot be certain that suppliers and  telecommunications  carriers will continue
to sell or lease their  products and services to TCOM  Ventures at  commercially
reasonable  prices or at all. If there are delays in receiving  this  equipment,
TCOM  Ventures  may  not be able  to  service  its  customers.  Difficulties  in
developing  alternative  sources of supply, if required,  could adversely affect
its business, future financial condition or operating results. Moreover, failure
of  telecommunications  providers  to provide the data  communications  capacity
required  by TCOM  Ventures  for any reason  could  cause  interruptions  in its
ability to provide access  services to its  customers,  which may materially and
adversely affect our business, financial condition and operating results.

Acquisitions of ISP Subscribers  May Result in Subscriber  Cancellations  Due to
Billing Problems and Unfamiliarity with TCOM Ventures' Service

     As  part  of  management's  growth  strategy,  TCOM  Ventures  may  acquire
businesses,  products,  technologies and other assets,  including ISP subscriber
accounts,   or  enter  into  joint  venture  arrangements  that  complement  our
businesses.  In an acquisition of ISP subscribers,  TCOM Ventures may experience
subscription cancellations in the shortterm period following the acquisition due
to the lack of the acquired subscribers' familiarity with TCOM Ventures as their
ISP and billing  issues  that may arise due to poor  record  keeping and billing
administration by the selling company.

Acquisitions  of  Companies  May Disrupt  TCOM  Ventures'  Business and Distract
Management Due to Difficulties in Assimilating Personnel and Operations

     If TCOM Ventures  acquires another  company,  TCOM Ventures could encounter
difficulties in assimilating the acquiree's  personnel and operations.  This may
disrupt our  ongoing  business  and  distract  management,  as well as result in
unanticipated  costs and  difficulty  in  maintaining  standards,  controls  and
procedures.  TCOM  Ventures  may be  required  to  incur  debt or  issue  equity
securities  to pay  for  any  future  acquisitions  or to  fund  any  losses  or
unanticipated costs of the combined companies.

TCOM Ventures is Subject to All Risks Faced by Start-Up Internet Companies

     TCOM Ventures may encounter  certain risks and difficulties in building and
operating  a  business  in  the  rapidly  evolving   telecommunications  sector,
especially given its limited operating history:

     *    Future revenues will depend heavily on management's ability to acquire
          businesses,  to attract and retain subscribers and business customers,
          and to increase per subscriber revenues.

     *    The  telecommunications  services  business,  including  the  Internet
          services  sector,  is extremely  competitive and is changing  rapidly.
          Competition  could  result  in  loss of  customers  and  reduction  of
          revenues.  Most of our competitors have  significantly  greater market
          presence,  brand recognition,  and financial,  technical and personnel
          resources than TCOM Ventures has, and many have extensive coasttocoast
          Internet backbones and large customer bases.

     *    We expect increasing competition from Internet service providers using
          alternative technologies including:

          *    telecommunications  providers  that bundle  Internet  access with
               basic local and long distance telecommunications  services, which
               could force TCOM  Ventures to price its  services at a level that
               would have an adverse effect on its business, financial condition
               and results of operations;

          *    major  cable  companies  such  as AT&T as  they  begin  to  offer
               Internet connectivity through their cable  infrastructure,  which
               is designed to increase the connection speed to the Internet; and

                                       3
<PAGE>

          *    other  alternative  service  companies that are  approaching  the
               Internet  connectivity  market with various wireless  terrestrial
               and satellitebased  service  technologies,  which currently offer
               highspeed Internet access to business customers.

     *    Management  expects  TCOM  Ventures to encounter  significant  pricing
          pressure as a result of competition and advances in technology.

     *    TCOM Ventures will rely on a combination  of copyright,  trademark and
          trade secret laws to protect its proprietary rights. Management cannot
          be certain that the steps we, or the companies we have acquired,  have
          taken  will  be  adequate  to  prevent  the  misappropriation  of TCOM
          Ventures'  technology or that third  parties,  including  competitors,
          will not  independently  develop  technologies  that are substantially
          equivalent or superior to TCOM Ventures' proprietary technology.

Market Overhang and Shares Available For Future Sale

     The market price of TCOM  Ventures  Corporation  common stock could drop if
substantial  amounts of shares  are sold in the  public  market or if the market
perceives  that  such  sales  could  occur.  A drop in the  market  price  could
adversely affect holders of the stock and could also harm TCOM Ventures' ability
to raise  additional  capital by selling  equity  securities.  TCOM Ventures has
registered  for  public  sale  in  the  registration  statement  of  which  this
prospectus is a part  4,000,000  shares of its common stock  issuable  under its
Amended and Restated 2000 Non-Qualified Stock Option Plan (the "Plan"), based on
a market price of the common  stock of $0.52 per share as of July 21, 2000,  and
as of that date,  TCOM Ventures had outstanding and had agreed to issue options,
warrants and  convertible  securities  for the  purchase of up to  approximately
12,936,134  shares of common  stock  (including  those  referred to above) at an
average  price  of  $7.30  per  share,  representing  approximately  44%  of the
company's outstanding shares of common stock on a fully-diluted basis as of that
date. In addition,  13,725,000 shares issued by TCOM Ventures in connection with
its acquisition of Phoenix  Communications,  Inc., in a private transaction will
become  eligible for sale in the public market under SEC Rule 144 in April 2000.
12,400,000  of these  shares are held by current  officers or  directors of TCOM
Ventures.  However,  officers  of the  Company  have  entered  into  stock  sale
restriction  agreements and, in addition, are subject to the sale limitations of
SEC Rule 144(e) as described herein.

     *    changes in tax requirements,  including tax rate changes, new tax laws
          and revised tax law interpretations; and

     *    interest rate fluctuations and other capital market conditions.

     These factors are not necessarily  all of the important  factors that could
cause  actual  results  to  differ   materially  from  those  expressed  in  the
forwardlooking  statements in this  prospectus.  Other unknown or  unpredictable
factors also could have material  adverse  effects on the future results of TCOM
Ventures.  The forwardlooking  statements in this prospectus are made only as of
the date of this  prospectus  and TCOM Ventures does not have any  obligation to
publicly update any  forwardlooking  statements to reflect  subsequent events or
circumstances.  TCOM Ventures  cannot assure you that projected  results will be
achieved.

                                 Use Of Proceeds

     Because  this  prospectus  is solely  for the  purpose  of  permitting  the
participants  in the Amended and Restated 2000  Non-Qualified  Stock Option Plan
("Participants")  to offer and sell shares,  TCOM  Ventures will not receive any
proceeds  from the sale of the shares being  offered.  The selling  stockholders
will receive all the proceeds.  However, TCOM Ventures will receive the proceeds
from any  exercise of stock  options  which will be used for  general  corporate
purposes.

                         Determination Of Offering Price

     This  offering is solely for the purpose of  allowing  Particpants  to sell
shares. The Participants may elect to sell some or all of their shares when they
choose, in the near future or at a later date, at the price at which they choose
to sell. As the market develops,  the Participants  will determine the price for
their shares.

                                    Dilution

     This offering is for sales of shares by  Participants.  Such sales will not
result in any  dilution to the net  tangible  book value per share of the common
stock of TCOM Ventures before and after the sales.  Prospective investors should
be aware,  however,  that the market price of shares being sold may not bear any
rational  relationship  to net tangible book value per share. As of December 31,
1999, the net tangible book value per  outstanding  share of the common stock of
TCOM Ventures was a negative $.21 per share. Thus,  exercise of the options will
be non-dilutive.

                                  Participants

     The Participants  acquired  beneficial  ownership of all the shares offered
for resale  pursuant to this  prospectus  in  compensatory  transactions.  These
transactions  include stock  bonuses for  employees and stock options  issued or
issuable under (i) the Amended and Restated 2000 Non-QualifiedStock Option Plan.
A shareholder is deemed to  beneficially  own shares held in his or her name and
certain  shares he or she does not own but has the right to acquire  upon option
exercise or otherwise within 60 days after the date of this prospectus.

     After the sales are complete, the selling stockholders  beneficially owning
1% or more of the outstanding common stock will be James C. Roberts (37%), Lynne
K. Roberts (37%) and Robert L. Fredrick (23%), based on 29,456,320 shares issued
and outstanding as of July 21, 2000. All of the option shares  identified in the
table above have an exercise price of $10.55 per share.

                              Plan Of Distribution

     TCOM  Ventures  is  registering  this  offering  of shares on behalf of the
Participants. TCOM Ventures will pay all costs, expenses and fees related to the
registration,  including all  registration and filing fees,  printing  expenses,
fees  and  disbursements  of its  counsel,  blue  sky  fees  and  expenses.  The
Participants  will pay any  underwriting  discounts and selling  commissions  in
connection with the sale of the shares.

     The  Participants  may sell the shares covered by this prospectus from time
to  time in one or more  transactions  through  the  OTC  Bulletin  Board  or an
interdealer  quotation  system,  on  one  or  more  securities   exchanges,   in
alternative trading markets or otherwise, at prices and at terms then prevailing
or at  prices  related  to the  then  current  market  price,  or in  negotiated
transactions. The Participant will determine the prices at which they sell their
shares in these  transactions.  The Participant  may effect the  transactions by
selling  the  shares  to  or  through   broker-dealers.   In  effecting   sales,
broker-dealers  engaged by the Participants may arrange for other  brokerdealers
to  participate  in the  resales.  The shares  may be sold by one or more,  or a
combination, of the following:

     *    a block trade in which the brokerdealer attempts to sell the shares as
          agent but may  position and resell a portion of the block as principal
          to facilitate the transaction,

     *    purchases  by  a   brokerdealer   as  principal   and  resale  by  the
          brokerdealer for its account,

     *    ordinary  brokerage  transactions and transactions in which the broker
          solicits purchasers, and

     *    privately negotiated transactions.

     The  amount  of  securities  to be  offered  or  resold  by  means  of this
prospectus  by each  Participant,  and any other  person  with whom he or she is
acting in concert for the purpose of selling  securities  of TCOM  Ventures,  is
limited  by SEC Rule  144(e)(1)  and (2).  The  number of shares  resold may not
exceed, during any three-month period, the greater of:

     *    1% of the shares of the class  outstanding as shown by the most recent
          report published by the issuer, or

     *    the  average  weekly  reported  volume of trading  in such  securities
          during the four  calendar  weeks  preceding the date of receipt of the
          order  to  execute  the  transaction  by the  broker  or the  date  of
          execution of the transaction directly with a market maker.

For the  purpose  of  determining  the  amount of  securities  sold  during  any
three-month period, the following provisions shall apply:

          (i) Where both convertible securities and securities of the class into
     which they are convertible  are sold, the amount of convertible  securities
     sold shall be deemed to be the amount of securities of the class into which
     they are convertible for the purpose of determining the aggregate amount of
     securities of both classes sold;

          (ii) The  amount  of  securities  sold for the  account  of a  pledgee
     thereof,  or for the  account of a  purchaser  of the  pledged  securities,
     during  any period of three  months  within one year after a default in the
     obligation  secured by the pledge, and the amount of securities sold during
     the same  three-month  period  for the  account  of the  pledgor  shall not
     exceed,  in the  aggregate,  the amount  specified  in  paragraph  SEC Rule
     144(e)(1) or (2), whichever is applicable;

          (iii) The amount of securities sold for the account of a donee thereof
     during any period of three months within one year after the  donation,  and
     the amount of securities  sold during the same  three-month  period for the
     account  of the  donor,  shall not  exceed,  in the  aggregate,  the amount
     specified in paragraph SEC Rule 144(e)(1) or (2), whichever is applicable;

          (iv) Where securities were acquired by a trust from the settlor of the
     trust,  the  amount of such  securities  sold for the  account of the trust
     during any period of three months within one year after the  acquisition of
     the securities by the trust,  and the amount of securities  sold during the
     same three-month  period for the account of the settlor,  shall not exceed,
     in the aggregate,  the amount  specified in paragraph SEC Rule 144(e)(1) or
     (2), whichever is applicable.

          (v) The amount of  securities  sold for the account of the estate of a
     deceased person, or for the account of a beneficiary of such estate, during
     any period of three  months and the amount of  securities  sold  during the
     same period for the account of the deceased person prior to his death shall
     not exceed,  in the aggregate,  the amount specified in SEC Rule 144(e) (1)
     or (2),  whichever is  applicable;  provided,  that no limitation on amount
     shall apply if the estate or beneficiary thereof is not an affiliate of the
     issuer;

          (vi)  When two or more  affiliates  or other  persons  agree to act in
     concert for the purpose of selling  securities of an issuer, all securities
     of the same  class  sold for the  account  of all such  persons  during any
     period of three months shall be aggregated  for the purpose of  determining
     the limitation on the amount of securities sold;

          (vii)  The  following  sales of  securities  need not be  included  in
     determining the amount of securities  sold:  securities sold pursuant to an
     effective  registration statement under the Securities Act; securities sold
     pursuant to an exemption provided by Regulation A under the Securities Act;
     securities  sold in a  transaction  exempt  pursuant  to  Section  4 of the
     Securities Act and not involving any public  offering;  and securities sold
     offshore pursuant to Regulation S under the Securities Act.

          Officers of TCOM Ventures holding an aggregate of 18,894,556 shares of
     its common stock and options and warrants for the purchase of an additional
     2,923,222  shares of common stock have entered into stock sale  restriction
     agreements whereby they agreed, among other things, that the maximum amount
     each will sell during any period of 30  consecutive  calendar days will not
     exceed the lesser of $25,000 in gross  proceeds  or 5,000  shares;  that no
     share  will be sold for a price  less  than  $4.25;  and that they will not
     engage in any short sales of the stock.  The board of  directors  may waive
     any of the  restrictions  on an  individual  basis  and may  terminate  the
     agreement at any time.

          The   Participants   may  enter   into   hedging   transactions   with
     broker-dealers.  In these transactions,  broker-dealers may engage in short
     sales of the  common  stock in the  course of hedging  the  positions  they
     assume with the  Participants.  The  Participants  also may sell the common
     stock short  pursuant to this  prospectus and redeliver the shares to close
     out these short positions.  The Participants may enter into option or other
     transactions  with   broker-dealers   that  require  the  delivery  to  the
     broker-dealer of the shares covered by this prospectus.  The  broker-dealer
     may  then  resell  or  otherwise  transfer  the  shares  pursuant  to  this
     prospectus.  The  Participants  also may loan or  pledge  the  shares  to a
     broker-dealer. The broker-dealer may then sell the loaned shares or, upon a
     default by the Participant,  the  broker-dealer may sell the pledged shares
     pursuant to this prospectus.

          The Participants may engage in other financing  transactions  that may
     include  forward   contract   transactions  or  borrowings  from  financial
     institutions  in which the shares are pledged as  security.  In  connection
     with any of these forward contract  transactions,  the  Participants  would
     pledge shares to secure their  obligations  and the  counterparty  to these
     transactions  would sell the common  stock  short to hedge its  transaction
     with the Participant.  Upon a default by the Participant under any of these
     financings,  including a forward contract  transaction,  the pledgee or its
     transferee may sell the pledged  shares  pursuant to this  prospectus.  Any
     such pledgee or its  transferee  will be identified  in this  prospectus by
     post-effective  amendment  to the  registration  statement of which it is a
     part.

          Broker-dealers  or  agents  may  receive  compensation  in the form of
     commissions, discounts or concessions from the Participant.  Broker-dealers
     or agents may also receive  compensation  from the purchasers of the shares
     for whom they act as agents  or to whom they sell as  principals,  or both.
     Compensation  to a particular  broker-dealer  may be in excess of customary
     commissions  and will be in amounts to be negotiated  with a Participant in
     connection with the sale. Broker-dealers or agents, any other participating
     broker-dealers  and the  Participants  may be deemed  to be  "underwriters"
     within the meaning of Section  2(11) of the  Securities  Act in  connection
     with  sales  of  the  shares.  Accordingly,  any  commission,  discount  or
     concession  received  by them and any  profit on the  resale of the  shares
     purchased by them may be deemed to be underwriting discounts or commissions
     under the  Securities  Act.  Because the  Participants  may be deemed to be
     "underwriters"  within the meaning of Section 2(11) of the Securities  Act,
     the Participants will be subject to the prospectus delivery requirements of
     the Securities Act.

          The  Participants  will be subject  to  applicable  provisions  of the
     Securities  Exchange Act of 1934 and the associated  rules and regulations,
     including  Regulation M. These provisions may limit the timing of purchases
     and  sales  of  shares  of  the  common  stock  of  TCOM  Ventures  by  the
     participants.  TCOM Ventures will make copies of this prospectus  available
     to the  Participants  and has  informed  them of the need for  delivery  of
     copies of this  prospectus  to purchasers at or before the time of any sale
     of the shares.

          Ehrhardt Keefe Steiner & Hottman,  P.C.,  independent  auditors,  have

     as of the  quarter  ended  March  31,  2000 as set  forth in the Form  10-Q

     audited the consolidated equity and cash flows of TCOM Ventures Corporation
     as of the  year  ended  June  30,  1999 as set  forth  in the  Registration
     Statement  filed  on form  SB-2  filed  on  February  24,  2000,  which  is
     incorporated   by  reference  in  this  prospectus  and  elsewhere  in  the
     registration statement.

          The consolidated  statements of operations,  stockholders'  equity and
     cash flows of TCOM Ventures  Corporation  and subsidiary for the year ended
     June 30, 1998  included in this  prospectus  have been  included  herein in
     reliance on the report of Gerstle,  Rosen & Associates,  P.A.,  independent
     certified public accountants, given on authority of that firm as experts in
     accounting and auditing.

          The balance  sheets of  America's  Web Station as of December 31, 1997
     and 1998 and the  statements of operations,  stockholders'  equity and cash
     flows for the  period  then ended  included  in this  prospectus  have been
     included herein in reliance on the report of Girardin  Baldwin & Associates
     LLP, independent  certified public accountants,  given on authority of that
     firm as experts in accounting and auditing.

          With respect to the unaudited interim financial  information  included
     herein,  the independent  certified public  accountants have not audited or
     reviewed  the  information  and have not  expressed an opinion or any other
     form of assurance with respect to this information.

     or purport to give any other form of assurance on them.

     Ehrhardt Keefe Steiner & Hottman P.C. to serve as its principal independent
     accountant  for the fiscal  year  ending June 30,  1999.  Gerstle,  Rosen &
     Associates, P.A., reported on the financial statements of TCOM Ventures for
     the fiscal  year ended June 30,  1998.  Its report for that year noted that
     TCOM Ventures had suffered  recurring  losses from  operations  that raised
     substantial  doubt about its ability to  continue as a going  concern.  The
     same matter was emphasized in the auditor's report for the fiscal year June
     30, 1999.  There were no disagreements  with the former  accountants on any
     matter  of  accounting   principles  or  practices,   financial   statement
     disclosure or auditing scope or procedure.
