Item 2. Acquisition and Disposition of Assets.
Effective March 31, 1999, International Fuel Solutions, Inc. (the
"Company") entered into a rescission agreement with FES Innovations, Inc.
("FES"), a privately held British Columbia, Canada corporation, whereby the
Company and FES did agree to rescind the previous asset acquisition agreement
entered between the aforesaid parties in June 1998. As part of the terms of this
rescission, FES and its assigns did agree to tender back into the Company's
treasury an aggregate of 21,000,000 "restricted" common shares, representing
67.7% of the Company's then outstanding common stock. FES also agreed to repay
certain balances incurred by the Company applicable to the rescission and other
related activities of the Company.
Also effective March 31, 1999, the Company entered into a letter of
intent with Mr. Michael Levine, Toronto, Canada ("Levine"), whereby the Company
has agreed, in principle, to acquire certain assets owned by Levine, including
an electronic commerce web site and the right to the business names, including
"Shopshopshopping.com," "Superwebmall.com" and "Greatestmall on earth.com" (the
"Assets"). In exchange for the Assets, the Company has agreed to issue 2,500,000
shares of its common stock equal to ownership of approximately 33% of its
outstanding shares, in exchange for all of the Assets. In the event this
proposed acquisition is successfully consummated, it is anticipated that the
Company will change its name to "Shopshopping.com, Inc.", or such other name as
may be available and acceptable to Levine and the Company's shareholders.
The proposed acquisition is subject to satisfaction of certain
conditions, including completion of due diligence activities and other matters.
If the proposed transaction with Levine is consummated, the present officers and
directors of the Company are expected to resign their respective positions with
the Company, to be replaced by Mr. Levine and others designated by him. If these
conditions are met, it is expected that the proposed transaction with Levine
will close in approximately 10-15 days from the date of this report. However,
there are no assurances that the proposed transaction will close on the
aforesaid date, or that any unforeseen delay will occur. A copy of the letter of
intent between the Company and Levine is attached hereto as Exhibit 2.3 and
incorporated herein as if set forth.

Bernard Ave., Kelowna, British Columbia, Canada V1Y 6N7 (hereinafter referred to
as "FES"), who hereby agree as follows:
R E C I T A L S:
WHEREAS, on or about June 19, 1998 the parties hereto did enter into
that certain Purchase and Sale Agreement (the "Agreement"), wherein IFS acquired
certain of the assets and liabilities of FES in exchange for issuance of an
aggregate of 12,500,000 shares of Purchaser's common stock, par value $.001 per

WHEREAS, the parties hereto have concluded that it is in their

Shares issued pursuant to said Agreement and for IFS and FES to release the
other pursuant to the terms and conditions contained hereinbelow; and
WHEREAS, the parties hereto mutually acknowledge, recognize and agree
that IFS has incurred certain costs and expenses, both direct and indirect,
arising out of the Agreement and FES has agreed to cause IFS to be reimbursed
for such costs and expenses pursuant to the terms and conditions contained
hereinbelow; and
WHEREAS, the parties hereto have undertaken all corporate action
necessary to approve this rescission and the terms and conditions contained
hereinbelow.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing premises and the
mutual covenants, terms and conditions set forth herein, and for other good and
