Item 2. MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Plan of Operation
The Company engages in research, either by itself and/or through the use
of independent consultants) (who may have to agree to receive stock of the
Company in payment for their services in lieu of cash), to determine what type
of business can be established by a new venture which would have potentially
high profits. The Company's management has no present intention to retain any
independent consultants and management of the Company has established numerous
contacts which, on an ongoing basis, can lead to inquiries from potential
acquisition contacts. In the event consultants are retained in the future, it is
intended that their compensation, whether in restricted securities of the
Company or otherwise, will be based on the fair market value of the Company's
stock and the fair market value of such services calculated on an arms-length
basis.
On July 1, 1997, the Company entered into an agreement with World Wide Web
Casinos, Inc. (WWWC), whereby the Company and WWWC would merge with and into
WWWC Acquisition Corporation, the surviving corporation, in a tax free merger.
