This Summary is qualified in its entirety by the more detailed information appearing or referred to elsewhere in this proxy statement/prospectus. THE MEETING TIME, DATE AND PLACE OF SPECIAL MEETING The special meeting will be held on __________, __________ 2000 at 9:00 a.m. at 10130 E. Winding Trail, Tucson, Arizona. PURPOSES OF THE MEETING The meeting has been called for the purpose of considering and, if deemed advisable, approving the merger of Nascent and Evolution on the terms contained in the Plan of Merger. THE COMPANIES Nascent Technology, Inc. is a Nevada corporation which since its inception has not engaged in any operations other than organizational activities. It was specifically formed to be a "blank check" corporation, for the purpose of either merging with or acquiring an operating company. Nascent's principal executive offices are located at 10130 E. Winding Trail, Tucson, Arizona 85749, (520) 577-1516. Evolution USA, Inc. is a Washington corporation, headquartered in Los Angeles, California engaged in multimedia branding activity aimed at the 15-30 year age group. Evolution USA, Inc.'s principal executive offices are located at 6100 Wilshire Boulevard, Suite 201, Los Angeles, California 90048, (323) 634-7799. THE MERGER On the effective date (the date the Articles of Merger are filed and accepted by the Secretary of State of Washington), which is expected to be _______________ 2001, Nascent and Evolution will merge and continue as one corporation under the name Evolution USA, Inc. In connection with the merger: (a) Nascent's shareholders (other than dissenting shareholders) will receive, in exchange for each of their Nascent common shares, fifteen Evolution Class A common shares; (b) On the effective date, all of the assets and liabilities of Nascent will become the assets and liabilities of Evolution and the Nascent shareholders will become shareholders of Evolution; and -1- (c) Immediately prior to the effective date, 773,333 shares of common stock held by Daniel Hodges, sole director and officer of Nascent, shall be canceled and extinguished without any conversion thereof. REASONS FOR THE MERGER In evaluating the proposed merger, management of Nascent considered criteria such as the value of the assets of Evolution, Evolution's ability to compete in its market and the present and anticipated business operations of Evolution. Based on these criteria management determined that the merger was in the best interest of its shareholders. VOTES REQUIRED The Plan of Merger must be approved by at least a majority of the votes cast in respect thereof by holders of Nascent common shares present in person or represented by proxy at the meeting. Shareholders of record at the close of business on __________, 2000 will be entitled to receive notice of and to vote at the meeting. RECOMMENDATION OF THE DIRECTOR The sole director of Nascent has concluded that the terms of the Plan of Merger are fair to Nascent and its shareholders. Accordingly, the board recommends that the shareholders vote in favor of the Plan of Merger. The Plan of Merger must be approved by majority of the votes cast. INCOME TAX CONSEQUENCES OF THE MERGER Neither Evolution nor Nascent will recognize gain or loss as a result of the merger. Additionally, you will not recognize gain or loss by exchanging your Nascent shares for shares of Evolution. GOVERNMENT REGULATION The merger of Evolution and Nascent is not subject to federal or state regulatory review. RISK FACTORS The Evolution securities offered hereby are speculative in nature and involve a high degree of risk. Nascent shareholders and prospective investors should consider carefully the following factors, among others, prior to making an investment decision. ARBITRARY MERGER EXCHANGE RATIO The 1 for 15 exchange offered in this proxy statement/prospectus bears no relationship to the assets, book value, earnings, net worth, or any other recognized criteria of value of Nascent. Consequently, the share exchange ratio, which can be deemed an offering price for Nascent's securities, was determined arbitrarily and solely by Nascent and Evolution. In establishing the exchange ratio or offering price, management considered such matters as Evolution and Nascent's limited financial resources and the general condition of the securities markets. The exchange ratio of the merger should not, however, be considered an indication of Nascent's actual value. Neither Nascent nor Evolution obtained an opinion, appraisal or report of a financial consultant or other third party in establishing the exchange ratio. -2- LIMITED OPERATING HISTORY Nascent has no operating history and Evolution only has a limited operating history. Nascent was incorporated in 1994 but has been inactive since its inception. Evolution only commenced its operations on May 20, 2000 and has incurred approximately $4,312,000 in losses since inception to September 30, 2000. EXPECTATION OF LOSSES Evolution's management and Nascent's management believe Evolution, with its services and products, will be a profitable enterprise in the future. However, Evolution anticipates experiencing future operating losses resulting primarily from marketing and associated training costs. Nascent has operated at a loss since inception. WORKING CAPITAL REQUIREMENTS After the merger, Evolution will require a substantial investment in working capital, principally to finance its marketing activities, development, and to increase its existing staff. Without additional capital generated from the sale of Evolution's stock, or from operations, Evolution will be unable to fund its business, offer its services and products on an extensive basis, nor its business. Evolution will require a minimum of nearly $30,000,000 in working capital over the next twelve months. There can be no assurance that capital from private and public offerings will be available, or if available, can be obtained on terms advantageous to Evolution. If Evolution is successful in effecting a private placement and/or a public offering, the capital it raises will be sufficient to meet its expected working capital needs for the following twelve months. If Evolution is unable to raise sufficient capital either externally or from operations it will not be able to sustain its operations. Evolution will have to reduce expenditures to keep in line with existing revenues as they are generated. DEPENDENCE ON KEY PERSONNEL Evolution is dependent on the continued services of certain key management personnel, particularly George Fleming, Chairman of the Board, President and Chief Executive Officer of Evolution. The loss of George Fleming's services could significantly impact Evolution's future operations and its ability to one day become profitable. After the merger, Evolution's growth and profitability will depend upon its ability to attract and retain skilled managerial, marketing and technical personnel. INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS The articles of incorporation for Evolution indemnify directors and officers and allow for Evolution to secure insurance for the liability of their respective directors and officers. -3- NO TRADING MARKET FOR SHARES At the present time, no trading market exists for Evolution's common stock and no market may, in fact, develop after completion of the merger. After the merger, Evolution will seek to have its shares listed on the OTC Bulletin Board, but will not apply to have its shares listed on any exchange. NO DIVIDENDS Evolution has not paid any dividends to date and has no plans to pay dividends in the foreseeable future. FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS This proxy statement/prospectus contains or incorporates by reference certain forward looking statements with respect to the financial condition, results of operations and business of Evolution and, assuming the consummation of the merger, the proposed merger with Nascent. These forward-looking statements involve certain risks and uncertainties. Factors that may cause actual results to differ materially from those contemplated by such forward looking statements include, among others, the following possibilities: (1) revenues following the mergers are lower than expected; (2) competitive pressure among multimedia branding companies increases significantly; (3) general economic conditions, either nationally or in California in which the combined company will be doing business, are less favorable than expected; or (4) legislation or regulatory changes adversely affect the business in which the combined company would be engaged. -4- UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS On September 11, 2000, Nascent, a development stage company, and Evolution, executed a letter of intent that provides for the merger of Nascent with and into Evolution. See "The Merger." The following unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements are based on the September 30, 2000 historical financial statements of Nascent and Evolution contained elsewhere herein, giving effect to the transaction under the purchase method of accounting, with Evolution treated as the acquiring entity for financial reporting purposes.

NOTES TO UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- (1) GENERAL In the merger, Nascent will be merged with and into Evolution, with the shares of outstanding Evolution common stock being approximately 18,000,000 shares, or approximately 99.4%, subject to certain adjustments, and each share of Nascent common stock issued and outstanding prior to the Effective Time will be converted into 15 shares of new common stock for an aggregate of 100,005 shares of new common stock, or approximately 0.6% of the new common stock outstanding subsequent to the merger. Nascent has not yet performed a detailed evaluation and appraisal of the fair market value of the net assets sold in order to allocate the purchase price among the assets sold. For purposes of preparing these pro forma financial statements, certain assumptions as set forth in the notes to the pro forma adjustments have been made in allocating the sales price to the net assets sold. As such, the pro forma adjustments discussed below are subject to change based on final appraisals and determination of the fair market value of the assets and liabilities of Nascent. -7- (2) FISCAL YEAR ENDS The unaudited pro forma condensed combined statements of operations for the year ended September 30, 2000, include Nascent's and Evolution's operations on a common fiscal year. The financial statements of Nascent have been conformed to the fiscal year ended September 30, 2000, by including the operating results of Evolution for the period May 20, 2000 (inception), to September 30, 2000, and including such operating results for Nascent for the twelve months ended September 30, 2000. (3) PRO FORMA ADJUSTMENTS The adjustments to the accompanying unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet as of September 30, 2000, are described below: (A) Record merger by converting Evolution common stock and Nascent common stock to newly issued shares of common stock, par value $0.001 per share. The adjustments to the accompanying unaudited pro forma condensed combined statements of operations are described below: There are no anticipated adjustments to the statements of operations as a result of the merger. THE MERGER BACKGROUND OF THE MERGER In connection with its normal business practices, Nascent continuously reviewed its strategic business opportunities and during the summer of 2000 it was contacted by a representative of Evolution concerning a possible merger. Discussion were entered into and shortly thereafter, the parties executed a letter of intent. REASONS OF NASCENT FOR THE MERGER The business purpose of Nascent since its inception was to merge with an operating company. The criteria used by management for determining appropriate merger partner were based on the expectation that the resulting company would be successful. Therefore, management considered the value of the assets of Evolution, Evolution's ability to compete in its markets and the present and anticipated business operations of Evolution. Based on these criteria, management determined that the proposed merger would likely result in a successful company and therefore would be in the best interest of its shareholders ACCOUNTING TREATMENT The merger will be accounted for under the purchase method of accounting. -8- FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSEQUENCES FOR SHAREHOLDERS In general, shareholders who hold Nascent common stock as capital property will not realize a capital gain or capital loss as a result of the merger. However, any shareholder that dissents from the merger may realize a capital gain or a capital loss in respect to the payment resulting from such shareholder's exercise of dissenter's rights. Neither Nascent nor Evolution has received a tax opinion or has sought a ruling from the Internal Revenue Service in connection with the tax consequences of the merger. RIGHT OF DISSENTING SHAREHOLDERS Under Nevada law, a shareholder may dissent from and obtain the fair value of his or her shares in the event of any of the following corporate actions: (a) Consummation of a merger plan if shareholder approval is required and the shareholder is entitled to vote on the merger, or if the company is a subsidiary and is merged with its parent; (b) Consummation of an exchange plan where the company will be acquired if the shareholder is entitled to vote on the plan; (c) Any corporate action pursuant to a shareholder vote if the articles, bylaws or a directors' resolution permits shareholders to dissent and obtain payment for their shares. The dissenting shareholder cannot challenge the corporate action unless the action is unlawful or fraudulent. A notice of dissenter's rights must be sent with the notice of the meeting. A dissenting shareholder must notify the company of his or her dissent in writing before the vote is taken and is prohibited from voting in favor of the proposed action. Otherwise the dissenting shareholder is not entitled to payment for his or her shares. If a proposed action creating dissenters' rights is authorized at a shareholders' meeting, the company must deliver a written dissenter's notice to all shareholders who satisfied the requirements to assert those rights within 10 days of effecting the corporate action. The notice must state where the demand for payment must be sent, when and where certificates are to be deposited, and it must inform holders not represented by certificates to what extent the transfer of shares will be restricted after demand for payments is received. The company must supply a form for demanding payment that includes the date of the first announcement to the news media or shareholders of the terms of the proposed action. The form must require that the person asserting the dissenter's rights certify whether or not he or she acquired beneficial ownership before that date. The notice must set a deadline when the corporation must receive the demand for notice. The shareholder must then demand payment, certify whether he or she acquired beneficial ownership of the shares before the date required to be set forth in the dissenter's notice of this certification and deposit his or her certificates, if any, in accordance with terms of the notice. The shareholder who complies retains all other rights of a shareholder until those rights are canceled or modified by the company's taking the proposed action. The shareholder who fails to demand payment or deposit his or her certificates where required by the date set forth in the dissenter's notice forfeits his or her payment. -9- The company must pay the dissenter within 30 days the amount the company estimates to be the fair value of the shares plus accrued interest. The company must include with the payment a copy of its balance sheets as of the end of a fiscal year ending not more than 16 months before the payment date, an income statement for that year, a statement of changes in shareholders equity for that year, and the latest available interim financial statements. The company must also provide a statement of its estimate of the fair value of the shares, an explanation of how the interest was calculated, a statement of dissenter's rights to demand payment and a copy of the Nevada Revised Statute 92A.300 - 92A.500, inclusive. Unless the beneficial shareholder owned the shares before the date set forth in the dissenter's notice as of the date of the first announcement to the news media or to the shareholder of the terms of the proposed action, the corporation may withhold payment from a dissenter. If the company withholds payment, it must estimate the fair value of the shares, plus accrued interest and offer to pay this amount to each dissenter who agrees to accept it in full satisfaction of his or her demand. The company must send with its offer a statement of its estimate of the fair value, and explanation of how interest was calculated and a statement of the dissenter's right to demand payment. A dissenter can notify the company of his or her own estimation of the fair market value of the shares and demand payment of this amount less any money already paid if he or she believes the amount offered by the company is less than the fair value of the shares. The dissenter must do so within 30 days. After receiving such a demand, if the amount remains unsettled, the company must commence a proceeding within 60 days in the district court in the county of its registered agent to determine the value of the shares, or pay the amount the dissenter demands. All parties with unsettled demands become parties to the proceeding, the court appoints an appraiser, and issues a judgment for the amount the court finds to be the fair value of the shares payable to the shareholders. The corporation must pay the court costs unless the dissenters acted arbitrarily, vexatiously or in bad faith and the court may impose fees for counsel and experts in equitable amounts against the respective parties. In some cases, dissenter's counsel fees may come from the funds awarded in the judgment. INTEREST OF CERTAIN PERSONS IN THE MERGER Daniel L. Hodges, President and sole director of Nascent has agreed to the cancellation of all his shares except 6,667 shares. He will receive 100,005 shares as a result of the exchange and merger. Certain foreign companies held in trust for the benefit of the children of George Fleming, Chairman of the Board, President & Chief Executive Officer of Evolution, own 200,000 shares of Nascent common stock that will be exchanged under the terms of the Merger for 3,000,000 shares of Evolution Series A voting common stock. Mr. Fleming disclaims any beneficial ownership interest in the foreign companies or the trusts that own them. TERMS OF THE PLAN OF MERGER Conditions to the Merger The obligations of Nascent and Evolution to consummate the merger are subject to the satisfaction or written waiver of the following conditions: -10- - - approval of the Plan of Merger by the requisite shareholder vote of the Nascent. - - the absence of actual or threatened proceedings before a court or other governmental body relating to the merger. - - the registration statement of which this proxy statement/prospectus is a part shall have been declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission; - - performance by the other company of its obligations under the Plan of Merger; - - the accuracy, in all material respects, of the representations and warranties of the other company contained in the Plan of Merger; - - the receipt of opinions and certificates from the other company; and - - the cancellation of 773,333 of Daniel L. Hodges' Nascent common shares. DIFFERENCES IN THE RIGHTS OF SHAREHOLDERS There are few significant differences in the rights of Nascent shareholders and Evolution shareholders under their respective articles of incorporation and bylaws, and there are no significant differences concerning the rights of shareholders to amend the articles and bylaws, to approve a merger, to remove a director or to call a special meeting. THE COMPANIES NASCENT Since its inception on July 25, 1997, Nascent, a Nevada corporation has not engaged in any operations other than organizational matters. It was formed specifically to be a "blank check" or "clean public shell" corporation, for the purpose of either merging with or acquiring an operating company with a history of operating assets. Nascent is a "clean public shell" because it has not commenced operational activities, and has no debt liabilities. Nascent has not been involved in any litigation nor has it had any prior regulatory problems or business failures. The executive offices of Nascent are located at 10130 East Winding Trail, Tucson, Arizona 85749. Its telephone number is (520) 577-1516. The President, Secretary and sole director of the Company is Daniel L. Hodges. As the sole director and officer of Nascent, Mr. Hodges commenced implementation of Nascent's principal business purpose, which was to seek merger or acquisition candidates. Nascent intended to seek to acquire assets or shares of an entity actively engaged in business, which generates revenues, in exchange for its securities. Nascent did not intend to limit itself to any particular field or industry. Mr. Hodges has had a controlling interest in numerous shell companies, which have effected mergers or acquisitions similar to that which Nascent has sought. In these situations, Mr. Hodges has typically sold his controlling interests in the shell companies for cash. The other shareholders of the shell companies received interests in the applicable new company as a result of the merger or acquisition. -11- Competition. Nascent is an insignificant participant which competes among firms which engage in business combinations with, or financing of, development stage enterprises. There are many established management and financial consulting companies and venture capital firms which have significantly greater financial and personnel resources, technical expertise and experience than Nascent in this field. In view of Nascent's limited financial resources and management availability, Nascent continues to be at a significant competitive disadvantage. Regulation and Taxation. Nascent intended to structure a merger or acquisition in such a manner as to minimize federal and state tax consequences to Nascent and to any target company. Patents. Nascent owns no patents and no Internet domain names. Employees. Nascent has no full-time or part-time employees.

EVOLUTION Evolution is a multimedia branding company in the process of developing brand "image" and revenue streams by creating proprietary events that are leveraged into media, sponsorship, Internet and retail opportunities, and which are designed to satisfy the entertainment desires of "Generation Y,"a categorization of the 15-30 year old age group, which is expected to be the most powerful market segment in U.S. history. Evolution hopes to exploit its brand name recognition through the development and sale of branded merchandise apparel, accessories and other products throughout the Generation Y marketplace. Generation Y has discretionary income and the time available to spend it. They are a growing demographic for not only traditional retail but online retail as well. Due to Evolution's ability to reach this generation via multiple media such as the Internet, print and TV, management believes the company is in a unique position to exploit the demand of a very "wired" and technologically savvy Generation Y. Evolution is organized into three divisions: EVOLUTION EVENTS is partnering or proposes to partner with extreme sports ----------------- and fashion modeling agencies to leverage popular extreme sports stars, fashion models and celebrities into compelling vehicles targeted to and highly desired by Generation Y. EVOLUTION MERCHANDISE is expected to develop its own fashion and ---------------------- accessories product lines by designing its own products and by acquiring companies with proprietary product lines. Starting with fashion, extreme sports wear and developing a line of "extreme street-wear," Evolution expects to capture catalog, e-commerce, and retail market share for further servicing of its market and building of its brand. EVOLUTION.TV (EVTV) is the media division. Providing the public interface, ------------ EVTV consists of a production group that develops cutting-edge television; multimedia and broadband programming based on and around Evolution events and featured talent. It also has responsibility for television programming distribution, web site development and contextual e-commerce. Its goal is to be the best source available for information and entertainment related to extreme sports stars, fashion models and celebrities. -12- Revenue/Net Losses. To date, Evolution has earned no revenues from business operations/activities and has realized a net loss of $4,312,533. Within the next three to five years, Evolution expects to begin to generate revenues by developing leading edge Web content through the utilization of its own events, strengthened by its strategic partners' talent, coupled with the development of unique consumer merchandise offerings, sold through catalog, retail, online and contextual based e-commerce channels. Employees. Evolution currently has 25 full-time employees, of which 9 are in administration/management, 7 are in sales and marketing, 6 are in programming and related activities, and 3 in new media. Description of Property. Evolution maintains offices in 1,424 square feet of space at 6100 Wilshire Boulevard in Los Angeles. The lease provides for $3,560 per month of minimum lease payments, plus pro-rata share of operating expenses and taxes, on a month to month term. Evolution has executed a lease for 5,157 square feet at 5757 Wilshire Boulevard to provide for the continued expansion of Evolution. The lease provides for a term of 2 years and expires in July 2002 at an annual cost of $142,333, plus its share of operating expenses and property taxes. Legal Proceedings. Vogue Magazine & Conde Naste. Nascent has been informed via a demand letter by counsel for Advance Magazine Publishers, Inc., the publisher of Vogue Magazine & Conde Naste, that it will initiate litigation against Evolution for non-payment of its obligations to Vogue Magazine & Conde Naste pursuant to an agreement, dated July 25, 2000. The letter seeks payment of approximately $1,360,000, the net amount of the contract. The letter does not specify which court the suit will be filed in, but does identify New York as the venue. While Evolution acknowledges that it is obligated for some of the amount claimed by Vogue Mag z ne & Conde Naste, it believes it has a significant offset for services not provided. Nascent has been informed via a demand letter by counsel for a former employee, that she will initiate litigation against Evolution for an alleged breach due to non-payment of its obligations to her pursuant to an employment agreement, dated August 14, 2000. The letter further states that, as a result of these alleged breaches, she was terminated without cause and seeks damages of the remaining amounts due under the contract (allegedly $117,500) plus punitive damages. Evolution will contest this matter vigorously and believes it has significant defenses to the claim. EVOLUTION MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND PLAN OF OPERATION Evolution is projecting a loss for it's upcoming fiscal year ending September 30, 2001. In addition, it is anticipating losses and cash flow deficits from Evolution's operations for at least the next 12 months. It is expected that this loss will be caused primarily by: - development completion costs for production and web-site - startup, including personnel, costs - marketing costs, including launch of various events - content acquisition and development costs - inventory acquisition costs Evolution estimates that a total of $29,805,000 will be spent on each category as follows: -13- Technical Development Costs, including hardware and software $ 3,744,000 Start-up Costs 4,363,000 Inventory 1,000,000 Event Costs 9,184,000 Production/new media 4,469,000 Marketing Costs 7,045,000 ---------- $29,805,000 These amounts exclude any revenues to be received over the next 12 months. Evolution is in the development stage. Consistent with other branding and marketing organizations, expenditures are heavily weighted in favor of its marketing effort. Evolution realizes that these expenditures are necessary in order to develop a profitable merchandising operation as well as programming by allowing it to compete for brand awareness more effectively. In October 2000, Evolution launched it's web-site and event operations by co-hosting and co-sponsoring the Vogue VH-1 Fashion Awards pre and post-parties. Evolution did not realize any revenues from this event, as was originally intended. Evolution also expects to continue searching for, and developing content, which either complements or is synergistic with its existing content. At the present time it is difficult for Evolution to determine in detail, the nature, source or value of the content it will attempt to acquire. In the event that Evolution targets a content acquisition or licensing content candidate, it will in all likelihood require additional funding. Evolution does not currently have sufficient financial resources to meet the aforementioned funding requirements. Accordingly, Evolution currently is seeking funding from outside sources. At the date hereof, Evolution has no firm commitments from anyone to provide additional funding to Evolution. Any funding that is obtained may take the form of debt or equity or a combination thereof. DESCRIPTION OF EVOLUTION'S CAPITAL STOCK COMMON STOCK Evolution is authorized to issue up to 100,000,000 shares of its Class A common stock, $.001 par value per share.

The resulting translation adjustment is recorded as a separate component of stockholders' equity. Property and Equipment - ------------------------ Property and equipment is stated at cost. Depreciation is provided in amounts sufficient to relate the cost of depreciable assets to operations over their estimated service lives, principally on a straight-line basis from 3 to 5 years. Upon sale or other disposition of property and equipment, the cost and related accumulated depreciation or amortization are removed from the accounts and any gain or loss is included in the determination of income or loss. Expenditures for maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred. Major overhauls and betterments are capitalized and depreciated over their useful lives. Loss per Share - ---------------- The reconciliations of the numerators and denominators of the basic loss per share computations are as follows: Per-Share Income Shares Amount -------------- ------------- ---------- (Numerator) (Denominator) For the Period May 19, 2000 (inception) --------------------------------------- to September 30, 2000 ---------------------- BASIC LOSS PER SHARE Loss to common shareholders $ (4,312,533) 15,000,000 $ (0.29) -------------- ------------- ---------- The effect of outstanding common stock equivalents would be anti-dilutive for September 30, 2000 and are thus not considered. F-8 EVOLUTION USA, INC. ------------------- (A Development Stage Company) ----------------------------- NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS ------------------------------------------ FOR THE PERIOD MAY 19, 2000 (INCEPTION) TO SEPTEMBER 30, 2000 ------------------------------------------------------------- (Continued) ----------- NOTE 1 - ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued) - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Intangible Assets - ------------------ Software and website rights were purchased and/or developed for internal-use and are amortized on a straight-line basis over three to five years. Software rights are capitalized after preliminary project stage is completed. Capitalization of computer software cost is discontinued when the computer software product is substantially complete and ready for its intended use. Cost for maintenance and support are charged to expense when incurred. Management regularly assesses the carrying amount of intangible assets and where, in their opinion, the value is less than the carrying amount, the loss is recognized immediately. Unamortized computer software costs that have been capitalized are reported at net realizable value. The Company identifies and records impairment losses on intangible assets when events and circumstances indicate that such assets might be impaired. The Company considers factors such as significant changes in the regulatory or business climate and projected future cash flows from the respective asset. Impairment losses are measures as the amount by which the carrying amount of intangible asset exceeds its fair value. NOTE 2 - INCOME TAXES - ------------------------- In accordance with SFAS 109, the Company accounts for income taxes under the liability method. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on differences between the financial statement reporting and the tax bases of the assets and liabilities, and are measured at the enacted tax rates that will be in effect when the differences are expected to reverse. Such differences principally arise from the timing of income and expense recognition for accounting and tax purposes. The application of SFAS 109 does not have any material effect on the assets, liabilities, or operations for the periods presented in these financial statements. Deferred tax assets arising from the Company's net operating loss carryforwards have been fully offset by a valuation allowance. At September 30, 2000, the Company has net operating loss carryforwards for income tax purposes of approximately $4,000,000 which are available to offset future taxable income. The Company's utilization of these carryforwards may be restricted due to changes in ownership during the year. The components of the deferred tax asset as of September 30, 2000 are as follows: F-9 EVOLUTION USA, INC. --------------------- (A Development Stage Company) -------------------------------- NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -------------------------------- FOR THE PERIOD MAY 19, 2000 (INCEPTION) TO SEPTEMBER 30, 2000 ------------------------------------------------------------- (Continued) ----------- NOTE 2 - INCOME TAXES (Continued) - -------------------------------------- September 30, ------------------ 2000 ------------------ Deferred Tax Asset: Net operating loss carryforward $ - - ------------------------------------ Valuation Allowance ------------------ Net Deferred Tax Asset $ - ================== NOTE 3 - DEVELOPMENT STAGE COMPANY - --------------------------------------- The Company has not begun principal operations and as is common with a development stage company, the Company has had recurring losses during its development stage.

(a development stage company) as of September 30, 2000 and December 31, 1999, and the related statements of operations for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2000 and 1999, and cash flows for the nine month periods ended September 30, 2000 and 1999. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. We conducted our review in accordance with standards established by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants. A review of interim financial information consists principally of applying analytical procedures to financial data and making inquiries of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters. It is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards, the objective of which is the expression of an opinion regarding the financial statement taken as a whole. Accordingly, we do not express such an opinion. Based on our review, we are not aware of any material modifications that should be made to the accompanying financial statements for them to be in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

F-4 NASCENT TECHNOLOGY, INC. ------------------------- (A Development Stage Company) ----------------------------- NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS ----------------------------- FOR THE THREE AND NINE MONTH PERIODS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2000 AND 1999 --------------------------------------------------------------------------- NOTE 1 - ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES - ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- This summary of accounting policies for Nascent Technology, Inc. is presented to assist in understanding the Company's financial statements. The accounting policies conform to generally accepted accounting principles and have been consistently applied in the preparation of the financial statements. The unaudited financial statements as of September 30, 2000 and for the three and nine months then ended reflect, in the opinion of management, all adjustments (which include only normal recurring adjustments) necessary to fairly state the financial position and results of operations for the three and nine months. Operating results for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results which can be expected for full years. Organization and Basis of Presentation - ------------------------------------------ The Company was incorporated under the laws of the State of Nevada on July 25 1997. The Company ceased all operating activities during the period from July 25 1997 to October 20, 1999 and was considered dormant. Since October 20, 1999, the Company is in the development stage, and has not commenced planned principal operations. Nature of Business - -------------------- The Company has no products or services as of September 30, 2000. The Company was organized as a vehicle to seek merger or acquisition candidates. The Company intends to acquire interests in various business opportunities, which in the opinion of management will provide a profit to the Company. Cash and Cash Equivalents - ---------------------------- For purposes of the statement of cash flows, the Company considers all highly liquid debt instruments purchased with a maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents to the extent the funds are not being held for investment purposes. F-5 Pervasiveness of Estimates - ---------------------------- The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles required management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Loss per Share - ---------------- The reconciliations of the numerators and denominators of the basic loss per share computations are as follows: F-6 NASCENT TECHNOLOGY, INC. -------------------------- (A Development Stage Company) -------------------------------- NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS ----------------------------- FOR THE THREE AND NINE MONTH PERIODS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2000 AND 1999 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- (Continued) NOTE 1 - ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES - ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- (CONTINUED) Income Shares Per-Share ------------ ------------- Amount (Numerator) (Denominator) ------------ For the three months ended September 30, 2000 --------------------------------------------- BASIC & DILUTED LOSS PER SHARE Loss to common shareholders $ (352) 1,000,000 $ - ============ ============= ============ For the nine months ended September 30, 2000 BASIC & DILUTED LOSS PER SHARE Loss to common shareholders $ (1,287) 1,000,000 $ - ============ ============= ============ For the three months ended September 30, 1999 BASIC & DILUTED LOSS PER SHARE Loss to common shareholders $ - 1,000,000 $ - ============ ============= ============ For the nine months ended September 30, 1999 BASIC & DILUTED LOSS PER SHARE Loss to common shareholders $ - 1,000,000 $ - ============ ============= ============ The effect of outstanding stock equivalents are anti-dilutive for September 30, 2000 and 1999 and are thus not considered. F-7 Reclassification - ---------------- Certain reclassifications have been made in the 1999 financial Statements to conform with the September 30, 2000 presentation. NOTE 2 - INCOME TAXES - ------------------------- As of September 30, 2000, the Company has a net operating loss carryforward for income tax reporting purposes of approximately $2,000 that may be offset against future taxable income through 2011. Current tax laws limit the amount of loss available to be offset against future taxable income when a substantial change in ownership occurs. Therefore, the amount available to offset future taxable income may be limited. No tax benefit has been reported in the financial statements, because the Company believes there is a 50% or greater change the carry-forwards will expire unused. Accordingly, the potential tax benefits of the loss carry-forwards are offset by a valuation allowance of the same amount. NOTE 3 - DEVELOPMENT STAGE COMPANY - --------------------------------------- The Company has not begun principal operations and as is common with a development stage company, the Company has had recurring losses during its development stage.

Currently, there are no outstanding debts owed by the Company for the use of these facilities and there are no commitments for future use of the facilities. NOTE 5 - STOCK SPLIT - ------------------------ On October 20, 1999 the Board of Directors authorized 1,000 to 1 stock split, changed the authorized number of shares to 100,000,000 shares and the par value to $.001 for the Company's common stock. As a result of the split, 999,000 shares were issued. All references in the accompanying financial statements to the number of common shares and per-share amounts for 1999 have been restated to reflect the stock split. F-9 EXPERTS The financial statements of Evolution for the period from inception (May 20, 2000) to September 30, 2000, included in this proxy statement/prospectus have been audited by Robison, Hill and Company, and have been so included in reliance on the report of Robison, Hill and Company, independent accountants, given on their authority as experts in auditing and accounting. VALIDITY OF EVOLUTION'S COMMON STOCK The validity of the common stock subject to this offering will be passed upon for Evolution by Monahan & Biagi, PLLC, Seattle, Washington, counsel to Evolution. -20- APPENDIX A PLAN OF MERGER MERGING NASCENT TECHNOLOGY, INC., A NEVADA CORPORATION INTO EVOLUTION USA, INC., A WASHINGTON CORPORATION 1. PARTIES TO THE MERGER; EFFECTIVE DATE. Pursuant to the provisions of the Washington Statutes, Nascent Technology, Inc., a Nevada corporation, shall be merged with and into Evolution USA, Inc., a Washington corporation. Evolution shall be the surviving corporation. The merger ("Merger") shall become effective at such time (the "Effective Time") on the date (the "Effective Date") that the articles of merger are filed with the Secretary of State of Washington. 2. CLOSING. The closing of the merger contemplated by this Agreement shall take place on or before January 30, 2001, at the offices of Troutman Sanders Mays & Valentine, L.L.P., 1660 International Drive, Suite 600, McLean, Virginia 22102, or at such other date and place as the parties may mutually agree. The actual date of such closing is referred to herein as the "Closing." 2A. EFFECT OF THE MERGER. From and after the Effective Time, (i) Evolution shall continue its corporate existence as a Washington corporation and the separate existence of Nascent shall cease; (ii) the corporate charter/articles of incorporation and bylaws of Evolution in effect immediately prior the Effective Time shall continue to be its charter/articles of incorporation and bylaws until amended or repealed in a manner provided by law; and (iii) each of the directors and officers of Evolution in office immediately prior to the Effective Time shall continue to be the directors and officers of Evolution, if they have not resigned as of the Effective Time, until their respective successors are duly elected or appointed. 2B. CONVERSION OF OUTSTANDING SHARES. Each share of Nascent Common Stock that is issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time will, by virtue of the merger of Nascent and Evolution, at the Effective Time, and without any further action on the part of either Nascent and Evolution or any holder of outstanding Common Stock, be cancelled and extinguished and automatically converted into fifteen (15) shares of validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable Evolution Series A Voting Common Stock. All outstanding certificates for shares of either Nascent or Evolution shall be recognized as shares of the surviving, merged corporation, provided that holders of shares of either corporation may submit their certificates to Evolution for re-issuance if they desire to do so. 2C. CANCELLATION OF CERTAIN NASCENT SHARES. Each share of Nascent Common Stock which is, immediately prior to the Effective Time, held in the treasury of Nascent or held by any direct or indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of Nascent shall be canceled and extinguished without any conversion thereof. In addition, 793,333 shares of Nascent Common Stock held by Daniel L. Hodges, President and sole Director of Nascent, shall be canceled and extinguished without any conversion thereof (the "Cancellation Shares"). Upon approval of the Merger by the Nascent shareholders and prior to the Closing, the cancellation of the Cancelled Shares shall be deemed to have occurred and to have been effective prior to the Closing without any further act by Daniel L. Hodges or by Nascent other than the approval of the Merger by the Nascent shareholders. - 1 - 2D. ADJUSTMENTS FOR CAPITAL CHANGES. The fifteen-for-one conversion of shares of Nascent Common Stock into Evolution Series A Voting Common Stock is based upon the assumption that just prior to such conversion, as provided for in 2B, there are exactly 206,667 shares of Nascent Common Stock outstanding and that there are no outstanding rights (e.g., warrants or options) to acquire Nascent Common Stock or any other securities convertible into Nascent Common Stock. If, immediately prior to the Effective Time, the foregoing assumption is not correct, then the applicable ratio for the conversion of Nascent Common Stock into Evolution Common Stock will be adjusted appropriately so as to result in the holders of Nascent Common Stock (and any rights to acquire Nascent Common Stock) receiving (or having the right to receive) a total of three million one hundred five thousand (3,105,000) shares of Evolution Series A Voting Common Stock. 3.

Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the Registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the Registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the Registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the Registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the Registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question of whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue. II - 2 (b) The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes to respond to requests for information that is incorporated by reference into the prospectus pursuant to Item 4, 10(b), 11 or 13 of this form, within one business day of receipt of such request, and to send the incorporated documents by first class mail or other equally prompt means. This includes information contained in documents filed subsequent to the effective date of the registration statement through the date of responding to the request. (c) The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes to supply by means of a post-effective amendment all information concerning a transaction, and the company being acquired involved therein, that was not the subject of and included in the registration statement when it became effective.
