10-QSB and the previously filed Form 10-KSB for the period ending December 31,

Plan of Operation
The mission of Maxx International, Inc. (the "Company") is to own and
manage Web content and media assets which are packaged and converged across
multiple distribution platforms to provide multifaceted revenue streams and
increase stockholder equity.
The Company is presently seeking to form a strategic alliance with another
entity and or investor to help satisfy its current cash flow needs for the next
twelve months. The Company is in the unique position of owning the exclusive
worldwide licensing rights to the seven private prayer books written by His
Holiness Pope John Paul II. Although there can be no assurance, a significant
publishing advance of $5,000,000 to $8,000,000 is anticipated once the approved
translations are received from the Vatican. Additionally, the Company's
marketing program includes the distribution of a collection of music compact
discs with unique characteristics. This will involve famous national and
international entertainment idols, actors and sports stars reading various
prayers contained within the Pope's Prayer Books, combined with music.
In March 2000, the Company acquired 100% of the outstanding stock of Pure
Vision Internet, Inc. ("Pure Vision") which manages 35,000 digital video and
audio files daily. Pure Vision is well established in the areas of web site
template development, video streaming, webcasting, web conferencing, hosting
sites, automatic e-commerce store generator, domain name provider and ISP/DSL
reseller. The main focus of Pure Vision for the last three years has been their
Web site www.thegospel.com. The Gospel.com is a Christian Web Community that
links the churches and ministries of today with the furthest points of the

the various business centers.
