(Exact Name of Registrant as Specified in Charter) Colorado 0-9015 84-0768695 (State or Other Jurisdiction (Commission (IRS Employer of Incorporation) File Number) Identification No.) 57 West 200 South, Suite 310, Salt Lake City, Utah 84101 (Address of Principal Executive Offices) (Zip Code) Registrant's telephone number, including area code: (801) 359-9309 Item 1. Changes in Control of Registrant (a) On March 30, 1998, the Registrant issued 2,015,500 post-reverse split shares of its common stock to Kip Eardley, an officer and a director of the Registrant, for settlement of a debt owed by the Registrant to Mr. Eardley in the amount of $20,155 owed by the Registrant for cash advances to the Registrant. As of February 11, 1998, the shares issued to Mr. Eardley represented approximately 80.44% of the outstanding common stock of the Registrant. Mr. Eardley assumed control of the Registrant by virtue of the number of shares acquired from the Registrant in this transaction. Mr. Eardley has granted an option to sell such shares as set forth below. (b) On February 11, 1998, Howard M. Oveson, a director and officer, and shareholder of the Registrant entered into an agreement with 1st Zamora Corp. ("1st Zamora") to sell 11,102,500 pre-reverse split shares (277,563 post-reverse split shares) of common stock of the Registrant owned by Milagro Holdings, Inc. ("Milagro"), a corporation owned and controlled by Mr. Oveson. The option provided for an expiration date of March 31, 1998. On or about March 31, 1998, 1st Zamora paid an additional $50,000 to Milagro to extend the option to June 30, 1998, and to decrease the exercise price to $120,000. In addition, Mr. Eardley granted an option to 1st Zamora to purchase the 2,015,500 shares owned by him for $20,000 exercisable on or before June 30, 1998. During the extended term of the option Milagro and Mr. Eardley have agreed not to sell, transfer, assign, convey, or encumber the shares or any interest therein. However, Milagro and Mr. Eardley shall remain at all times during the extended term of the option the legal owners of their shares having all rights of ownership with respect to the shares, including voting rights, dividend and liquidation rights, and any and all other rights inherent in the ownership of the shares, subject only to the terms of the amended option. The option rights of 1st Zamora may be exercised only by it or its successors and are not transferable. The exercise of the option would result in a change of control of the Registrant by virtue of such party obtaining a majority of the outstanding stock of the Registrant. Item 7.

Issuance of Shares. The Company shall, and hereby agrees to, issue to the Creditor 2,015,500 shares of common stock of the Company (hereinafter the "Shares") in full and complete satisfaction of $20,155 owed by the Company to the Creditor. Immediately upon execution of this Agreement by the Creditor, the Company shall instruct the transfer agent for the common stock of the Company to issue to the Creditor one or more stock certificates representing the Shares. 2. Forgiveness of Debt.

Representations and Warranties of the Company. The Company represents and warrants to the Creditor as set forth below. These representations and warranties are made as an inducement for the Creditor to enter into this Agreement and, but for the making of such representations and warranties and their accuracy, the Creditor would not be parties hereto. a. Organization and Good Standing. The Company is a corporation duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the State of Colorado with full power and authority to enter into and perform the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. b. Performance of This Agreement. The execution and performance of this Agreement and the issuance of the Shares contemplated hereby have been authorized by the board of directors of the Company. c. Legality of Shares to be Issued. The Shares to be issued by the Company pursuant to this Agreement, when so issued and delivered, will have been duly and validly authorized and issued by the Company and will be fully paid and nonassessable. d. Accuracy of All Statements Made by the Company. No representation or warranty by the Company in this Agreement, nor any statement, certificate, schedule, or exhibit hereto furnished or to be furnished by the Company pursuant to this Agreement, nor any document or certificate delivered to the Creditor pursuant to this Agreement or in connection with actions contemplated hereby, contains or shall contain any untrue statement of material fact or omits to state or shall omit to state a material fact necessary to make the statements contained therein not misleading. 4. Representations and Warranties of the Creditor. The Creditor represents and warrants to the Company as set forth below. These representations and warranties are made as an inducement for the Company to enter into this Agreement and, but for the making of such representations and warranties and their accuracy, the Company would not be a party hereto. a. Restricted Securities. The Creditor understands that the Shares to be issued to him will not have been registered pursuant to the Securities Act of 1933, or any state securities act, and thus will be restricted securities as defined in Rule 144 promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC"). Therefore, under current interpretations and applicable rules, he will probably have to retain such shares for a period of at least one year and at the expiration of such one year period his sales may be confined to brokerage transactions of limited amounts requiring certain notification filings with the SEC and such disposition may be available only if the issuer is current in its filings with the SEC under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or other public disclosure requirements. b. Non-distributive Intent. The Creditor acknowledges that the Shares are acquired for his own account and not with the present view towards the distribution thereof and he will not dispose of such shares except (i) pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act, or (ii) in any other transaction which, in the opinion of counsel acceptable to the issuer, is exempt from registration under the Securities Act, or the rules and regulations of the SEC thereunder, and that an appropriate legend will be placed upon each of the certificates representing the Shares, and stop transfer instructions shall be placed with the transfer agent for the securities. c. Evidence of Compliance with Private Offering Exemption. The Creditor has such knowledge and experience in business and financial matters that he is capable of evaluating the risks of the prospective investment, and that the financial capacity of the Creditor is of such proportion that the total cost of such person's commitment in the Shares would not be material when compared with its total financial capacity. d. Access to Information. The Creditor has received and read and is familiar with information concerning the Company furnished to him, and confirms that all documents, records, and books pertaining to this proposed investment have been made available to him. e. Opportunity to Ask Questions. The Creditor has had the opportunity to question and receive answers from representatives of the Company concerning the terms and conditions of the proposed investment and the business of the Company. In addition, the Creditor has received all requested additional information and documents. f. Limitations on Transfer of Shares. The Creditor acknowledges that he is aware that there are substantial restrictions on the transferability of the Shares. Since the Shares will not be registered under the Securities Act or any applicable state securities laws, the Shares may not be, and the Creditor agrees that they shall not be, transferred unless the Shares are registered under the Securities Act and state securities laws or unless such sale is exempt from such registration under the Securities Act and any other applicable state securities laws or regulations. The Creditor further acknowledges that the Company is under no obligation to aid it in obtaining any exemption from the registration requirements. The Creditor also acknowledges that it shall be responsible for compliance with all conditions on transfer imposed by any securities administrator of any state and for any expenses incurred by the Company for legal or accounting services in connection with reviewing such a proposed transfer and/or issuing opinions in connection therewith. However, the Company agrees to cooperate with the Creditor in regard to any such transfer. g. Accuracy of All Statements Made by the Creditor. No representation or warranty by the Creditor in this Agreement, nor any statement, certificate, schedule, or exhibit hereto furnished or to be furnished by the Creditor pursuant to this Agreement, nor any document or certificate delivered to the Company pursuant to this Agreement or in connection with actions contemplated hereby, contains or shall contain any untrue statement of material fact or omits to state or shall omit to state a material fact necessary to make the statements contained therein not misleading. 5.Miscellaneous Provisions a.

No delay or failure on the part of a party in the exercise of any power or right shall operate as a waiver thereof nor as an acquiescence in any default nor shall any single or partial exercise of any power or right preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other power or right. c.
