All documents filed with the Commission by the Registrant pursuant to
Sections 13(a), 13(c), 14 and 15(d) of the Exchange Act after the date of this

which indicates that all securities offered have been sold or which deregisters
all securities then remaining unsold, shall be deemed to be incorporated by
reference in this Registration Statement and to be part hereof from the date of

ITEM 4. DESCRIPTION OF SECURITIES.
The Company is authorized to issue 150,000,000 shares of Common Stock,
par value $.001 per share (the "Common Stock"). Holders of the Common Stock have
one vote per share on each matter submitted to a vote of stockholders, the right
to receive such dividends, if any, as may be declared by the Board of Directors
out of assets legally available therefore and the right to receive net assets in
liquidation after payment of all amounts due to creditors and all preferential

directors.
The Common Stock is traded in the over-the-counter market (the "OTC

ITEM 5. INTERESTS OF NAMED EXPERTS AND COUNSEL.
Jonathan D. Leinwand, Esq., who acts as counsel the company and who has
expressed an opinion as to the issuance of the stock being registered on this
S-8 registration statement is the beneficial owner of 100,000 shares of common
stock of the Company. Such stock was received as compensation for services
rendered in connection with matters not related to the opinion being expressed
herein.
ITEM 6. INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS.
As permitted by the provisions of the Nevada Revised Statutes (the
"NRS"), the Company has the power to indemnify any person made a party to an
action, suit or proceeding by reason of the fact that they are or were a
director, officer, employee or agent of the Company, against expenses,
judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred
by them in connection with any such action, suit or proceeding if they acted in
good faith and in a manner which they reasonably believed to be in, or not
opposed to, the best interest of the Company and, in any criminal action or
proceeding, they had no reasonable cause to believe their conduct was unlawful.
Termination of any action, suit or proceeding by judgment, order, settlement,
conviction, or upon a plea of nolo contendere or its equivalent, does not, of
itself, create a presumption that the person did not act in good faith and in a
manner which they reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best
interests of the Company, and, in any criminal action or proceeding, they had no
reasonable cause to believe their conduct was unlawful.
The Company must indemnify a director, officer, employee or agent of
the Company who is successful, on the merits or otherwise, in the defense of any
action, suit or proceeding, or in defense of any claim, issue, or matter in the
proceeding, to which they are a party because they are or were a director,
officer employee or agent of the Company, against expenses actually and
reasonably incurred by them in connection with the defense.
The Company may provide to pay the expenses of officers and directors
incurred in defending a civil or criminal action, suit or proceeding as the
expenses are incurred and in advance of the final disposition of the action,
suit or proceeding, upon receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of the
director or officer to repay the amount if it is ultimately determined by a
court of competent jurisdiction that they are not entitled to be indemnified by
the Company.
The NRS also permits a corporation to purchase and maintain liability
insurance or make other financial arrangements on behalf of any person who is or
was a director, officer, employee or agent of the Company, or is or was serving
at the request of the corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent, of
another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise for
any liability asserted against them and liability and expenses incurred by them
in their capacity as a director, officer, employee or agent, or arising out of
their status as such, whether or not the Company has the authority to indemnify
them against such liability and expenses.

ITEM 9. UNDERTAKINGS.
(a) The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes:
(1) To file, during any period in which offers or sales are
being made, a post-effective amendment to this registration statement
(i) to provide any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act
of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act").
(ii) to reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the
effective date of the registration statement (or the most recent post effective
amendment thereof) which, individually, or in the aggregate, represent a
fundamental change in the information set forth in this Registration Statement.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in the volume of
securities offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered would not
exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of
the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus
filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the
changes in volume and price represent no more than 20 percent change in the
maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the "Calculation of Registration
Fee" table in the effective registration statement.
(iii) To include any material information with respect to the plan of
distribution not previously disclosed in this Registration Statement or any
material change to such information in the registration statement; provided
however, that clauses (i) and (ii) above do not apply if the information
required to be included in a post-effective amendment by those clauses is
contained in periodic reports filed by the Registrant pursuant to Sections 13 or
15(d) of the Exchange Act that are incorporated by reference in this
Registration Statement.
(2) That, for the purpose of determining liability under the
Securities Act, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new
registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the
offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona
fide offering thereof.
(3) To remove from Registration by means of a post-effective
amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the
termination of the offering.
(b) The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of
determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each filing of the
registrant's annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or Section 15(d) of the
Exchange Act (and, where applicable, each filing of an employee benefit plan's
annual report pursuant to Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act) that is
incorporated by reference in this Registration Statement shall be deemed to be a
new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the
offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona
fide offering thereof.
(c) Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the
Securities Act 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 Commission such
indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities 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 whether such indemnification by it is against public
policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by the final
adjudication of such issue.
SIGNATURES
Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended,
the Registrant certifies that it has reasonable grounds to believe that it meets
all of the requirements for filing on Form S-8 and has duly caused this
Registration Statement to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned, thereunto
duly authorized, in the City of Toronto, Province of Ontario, on July 23, 2003.
