ITEM 1. THE BUSINESS OF THE COMPANY.
Commercial Concepts, Inc., (the "Company") has made forward-looking
statements in this Form 10-SB. Forward-looking statements are statements
regarding the Company's "belief," "anticipation," "desire," "plan,"
"expectations," etc. Such statements are subject to risks and uncertainties. The
forward-looking statements include information about future results of the
Company's operation and are made with the understanding that actual future
results and events will vary, perhaps significantly, from the beliefs,
anticipation, plans, desires and expectations of the Company at the present
time.
History and Development of the Company
The Company was incorporated in the State of Utah on March 1, 1984. The
Company was originally organized to engage in the milling and recovery of
precious minerals. In November 1997, the Company's last milling and recovery
asset, an option to acquire mining property, expired. As a result, the Company
changed its business focus by acquiring the rights to certain software developed
to fix computer date recognition problems associated with the year 2000 ("Y2K").
The Company acquired computer equipment and hired software developers to refine
and further develop the program. The software tests the internal clock found in
personal computers each time the computer is turned on to determine if the date
is correct. If the date is incorrect, the software permits the user to correct
the date on a one-time basis or automatically each time the user turns-on the
computer. The Company holds a registered copyright for such software which it
began marketing in April, 1998. The software is sold at Fedco Drug Stores,
Navarro Supermarkets, and through Tiger Direct, a mail order catalog that has a
circulation of over 1,000,000. The software is also marketed on the Company's
web site. There are a number of other software products, including Check It 98,
2000 Tool Box, Year 2000 Now, Norton 2000, and Check 2000 PC, that are marketed
by larger companies with more resources and a better marketing network than the
Company. Because of its late entry into the market and lack of name recognition
and a limited marketing network, the Company's sales of the Y2K software have
been insignificant and are expected to disappear by the end of the year 2000.
Nevertheless, the computer equipment acquired and software developers
hired by the Company to develop the Y2K software provided the means for the
Company to become a software development and technology company. Building on
this foundation, the Company hired a new President and Chief Executive Officer
in February, 1999, a new Executive Vice President in July, 1999 and a new Chief
Financial Officer in August, 1999. In addition, in June, 1999, the Company
acquired 100% of the stock of Advice Productions, Inc. a graphic design company
specializing in customized video marketing and training tools. The assets and
technology of Advice Productions enables the Company to create customized
compact discs.
Products and Services
The Company's primary focus is on the development of "canned" software
programs. The Company's primary source of revenue, however, presently comes from
the development of
2
customized software and products for clients. Customized software development
permits the Company to generate revenues from research and development. The
Company's programmers develop customized software programs to meet specific
needs such as data entry and retrieval, multi media, and information
dissemination. The Company generally retains all rights, title and interest in
the customized software it develops, including source codes, with the
expectation that the Company will revise and improve such programs so the
programs can be "canned" and sold to other customers. The Y2K software program
is the only canned software program marketed by the Company at the present time.
The Company, however, is developing several additional software products.
Electronic Brochures. Using photos, logos, advertising and other
information provided by clients, and templates it has designed, the Company
creates customized presentations and advertising on mini-compact discs. The
compact discs are designed to replace traditional printed advertising and
brochures, and even business cards. The compact discs come in a variety of
designs (the most common of which is a disc the size of a business card) and can
be uniquely packaged for each client. Because the Company uses a pre-designed
template, the compact discs can be created at an affordable cost of between
$3,000 and $5,000. The average price of compact discs from the Company's local
competitors is approximately $10,000. The Company's lower production costs give
it a strategic advantage. The Company is currently developing software that will
permit clients to create their own presentations using the software thereby
further reducing production costs. However, there can be no guarantee that the
software will be developed, or if developed, that it will not be obsolete when
complete, or that it will be accepted by the public.
Medical Imaging Software. The Company is presently under contract with
Intermountain Health Care ("IHC") to develop medical imaging software to capture
images generated by equipment used in medical procedures such as ultra-sound,
catheter cameras, MRI's, and CAT scans. The software, which is currently being
beta tested in nine operating rooms at IHC's Cottonwood Hospital, is designed to
store images generated during medical procedures on a computer network. The
software permits physicians and administrators to access and notate the images
during or after the procedure from any computer on the network. The software
also reduces the storage space required to maintain the images. The Company has
by contract with IHC retained all rights, title and interest in and to the
software except that the Company has agreed to license IHC to use the software
in up to 30 operating rooms at no additional cost. The Company has filed a
patent application to protect the source code. The Company expects beta testing
to be completed by January 30, 2000. The Company then expects to market the
software to other hospitals and medical professionals nationwide. The Company is
aware of only one direct competitor, Smith & Nephew Dionics, Inc., which markets
a product that stores medical images on a floppy disk and is not compatible with
many networks. Unlike Smith & Nephew Dionics' program, the Company's software is
a cross-platform system that works on most networks or as a stand-alone product
and stores the data directly on a hard drive.
Screen Saver Technology. The Company has developed technology for an
interactive screen-saver for which a patent is pending. The screen saver
technology permits network administrators to place any image they choose on the
computer screen and to change or update the images as often as they desire. The
screen saver software is also interactive. A link to a web site or a document
can be placed on the screen saver to connect users to the advertised site if the
3
user clicks on the link. The screen saver also monitors when the screen saver
appears and who is logged on to the computer when it appears and records the
information for marketing purposes. The Company expects to generate revenues
from one-time licensing, advertising and annual maintenance fees.
The Company believes that there are several uses for this software.
First, businesses can use the screen saver to disseminate information and
control what employees have on their computer screens when they are not in use
since the program records when the screen saver appears. Second, schools and
other organizations can use the program to raise funds from advertising as well
as to disseminate information. Based on initial market research advertisers are
paying 2(cent) per impression per day for banner advertisements. The Company
believes, although it has conducted limited research to determine, that
advertisers will pay at least 1(cent) per impression for screen saver
advertising.
The Company faces competition in the screen saver market from numerous
competitors, some of whom have greater resources than the Company and technology
presently in the market that permits network administrators to place any image
they choose on the computer screen and to change or update the images as often
as they desire. To the knowledge of the Company, none of screen saver software
in the market is interactive. To be exact, none of the existing screen saver
software keeps a record of when the screen saver appears and who is logged on
the computer when the screen saver appears, nor does such software permit links
to be placed on the screen saver. The Company believes the interactive features
of its screen saver software program will give it a competitive advantage.
However, there can be no assurance that the Company will be first to market with
this technology, that its patent application will be approved or that there will
be sufficient public interest to successfully market the software.
Video Conferencing Technology. The Company has developed technology to
compress video images transmitted over telephone lines thus reducing the
bandwidth and therefore the time required for transmission. High-speed
transmission of high-resolution video images presently requires a bandwidth of
approximately 124 Kbs. The video conferencing equipment required to handle such
bandwidth can be expensive, ranging from between $10,000 to $100,000. By
compressing the bandwidth less sophisticated and less costly equipment can be
used for video conferencing. A third party is presently using the Company's
technology to operate video conferencing facilities in Guatemala City and Miami,
Florida. The Company anticipates the opening of additional video conferencing
centers in the year 2000. The Company is continuing to develop its video
conferencing technology in hopes of reducing the cost of video conferencing to
an amount comparable to the cost of a telephone call.
Subsidiaries
Advice Productions. Advice Productions, Inc. is a wholly owned
subsidiary of the Company, which was acquired in June of 1999. Advice
Productions facilitated the production of customized multi-media presentations
by bringing customers and production facilities together. Advice Productions is
dormant at the present time.
Merchanttranders, Inc. Merchanttranders, Inc. is a wholly owned
subsidiary of the Company. Merchanttranders was organized in February 1999, as
an e-commerce business to offer goods and services to the general public and
members on a web site located at www.merchanttranders.com.
4
Merchanttranders members are expected to receive discounts on all products and
services sold plus benefits like discounts on hotels, rental cars and airfares.
The general public is not expected to receive discounts or benefits.
Merchanttranders' primary source of revenues is expected to come from selling
memberships. Merchanttranders is negotiating with manufacturers and suppliers to
advertise and sell their products and services on-line and hopes to commence
operations by mid-2000.
Sales and Marketing
The Company has two full-time sales persons, but expects to rely on
wholesale distributors and sales persons with established distribution networks
and contacts to market its products as they are developed. Such persons or
organizations will be paid on a commission basis.
Employees
As of January 31, 2000, the Company had 14 full and part-time
employees. None of the Company's employees are represented by a union or other
collective bargaining group. Management believes its relations with its
employees are good.
ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS.
General
Effective March 1, 1998, the Company began earning revenues and was no
longer classified as a development stage company.
Results of Operations
Nine Months Ended November 30, 1999 Compared to the Nine Months Ended
November 30, 1998.
Sales increased by $156,269 or 247%, to $219,555 for the nine months
ended November 30, 1999 from $63,286 for the comparable period in 1998. This
increase was primarily a result of sales of customized software and computer
products for clients. Costs of sales increased from $16,926 to $65,483 as the
result of the increased sales.
Marketing and selling expenses decreased by $10,497 or 49%, to $10,771
for the nine months ended November 30, 1999 from $21,268 for the comparable
period in 1998. This decrease was a result of focusing our sales efforts for
Quick Fixx 2000(R) on the domestic market and only paying commissions and
royalties on product that was actually bought and paid for. The Company expects
its marketing and selling expenses to increase as it increases its marketing and
selling efforts as it acquires or develops additional technology products and
services.
General and administrative expenses increased by $304,580 or 172%, to
$481,715 for the nine months ended November 30, 1999 from $177,135 for the
comparable period in 1998. This increase was a result of an increase in the
number of employees and consultants employed by the Company as well as
5
legal expenses. The Company expects that such expenses will continue to increase
as the Company's operations expand and continue to develop.
The Company did not incur research and development expenses for the
nine months ended November 30, 1999, nor in the comparable period in 1998. The
Company's practice is to develop future products from the customized software it
develops. Its research and development expenses are therefore substantially paid
for by customers who retain the Company to develop customized software programs.
The Company typically retains all rights to the software it develops.
During the nine months ended November 30, 1999, the Company incurred
$5,512.83 of expenses in connection with the settlement of a lawsuit by Rex
Pitcher, a shareholder, against the Company based upon the sale by a former
officer of the Company of stock of the Company held by that officer to Mr.
Pitcher. The former officer allegedly made promises and incurred obligations
that he could not legally fulfill.
Fiscal Year Ended February 28, 1999 Compared to the Fiscal Year Ended
February 28, 1998.
For the first time in its operating history, the Company generated
revenue from sales in fiscal year 1999. The amount of such revenue was $64,557.
This was a result of sales of Quick Fixx 2000(R) software. Costs of such sales
equaled $31,336.
Although the Company did not generate revenue until fiscal year 1999,
it did incur marketing and selling expenses in the prior fiscal year. Marketing
and selling expenses increased by $35,999 or 720%, to $40,999 for the fiscal
year ended February 28, 1999 from $5,000 for the fiscal year ended February 28,
1998. This increase was the result of increased marketing efforts. The Company
expects to continue to increase its marketing and selling efforts as it acquires
or develops additional technology products and services and as the current
products are taken to market.
General and administrative expenses increased by $313,820, or 671%, to
$360,571 for the 1999 fiscal year end from $46,751 for the 1998 fiscal year end.
This increase was a result of an increase in the number of employees and
consultants employed by the Company as well as legal expenses. The Company
expects that such expenses will continue to increase as the Company's operations
expand, but at a slower rate, as the Company continues to develop.
There were no research and development costs in fiscal year 1999.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
At February 28, 1999, the Company had cash and other current assets of
$94,535 as compared to cash and other current assets of $6,106 at February 28,
1998. The increase of $88,429 was primarily due to a private placement of the
Company's common stock pursuant to Rule 504 of Regulation D promulgated under
the Securities Act of 1933 (the "1933 Act") and an increase in revenues from
sales. The increase was partially offset by increased general and administrative
costs and payments on debt obligations. As of February 28, 1999, the Company had
no long-term debt obligations.
The Company generated $155,000 from the private placement of 700,000
shares of common stock in March of 1999. The Company also borrowed $15,000 from
an individual and an additional
6
$10,000 from a second individual, neither of whom are shareholders of the
Corporation, in August of 1999 pursuant to promissory notes, at the rate of 10%
per annum with each note being respectively due and payable on August 12, 2000
and August 16, 2000. From August 26, 1998 to November 28, 1998 the Company
raised a total of $310,000 from a private placement of its common stock.
ITEM 3. PROPERTIES.
The Company conducts its business operations at 324 South 400 West,
Suite B, Salt Lake City, Utah, where it has approximately 7,105 square feet of
office space under lease through February 29, 2004. Under the terms of the
lease, the Company pays $6,051 per month, which amount increases by 4% annually.
There is no renewal option under the terms of this lease. The Company, however,
has an option to purchase the office building in which its offices are located
for $800,000. The option expires on October 31, 2000. Management of the Company
believes that it will either be able to negotiate a new lease on its existing
space or obtain suitable other space in the Salt Lake City area upon the
expiration of the existing lease.

aggregate amount of 4,000,000 shares) to Lombardi Research Foundation to secure
a short-term loan to the Company in the amount of $30,000. The proceeds of the
loan were used to finance a business development trip to China and to purchase
assets for the Company. The loan was to be repaid on or before August, 1999.
When the loan was not repaid by August, 1999, Lombardi Research Foundation
caused all 4,000,000 shares to be transferred to it pursuant to a security
agreement. The shares pledged by Richards & Associates to secure the loan were
issued to it on May 5, 1999 as described below. The shares pledged by Mr. Blum,
however, were issued to Mr. Blum by the Company's transfer agent at Mr. Blum's
request without the approval of the Company's Board of Directors. Since all of
the proceeds of the loan were used for the Company's benefit, on December 23,
1999, the Company issued 2,000,000 shares of common stock to Richards &
Associates to replace the shares that were transferred to Lombardi. The Company
did not issue replacement shares to Mr. Blum. The Company has also implemented
certain procedures to prevent the issuance of stock without the approval of the
Company's Board of Directors.
On May 5, 1999, the Company issued 2,000,000 shares of common stock to
Richards & Associates, Inc., a Utah corporation, of which the current Chief
Executive Officer and President, George E. Richards, Jr., is the sole
shareholder, in consideration of an oral agreement to pay the Company
11
$120,000. The obligation is not payable until the shares of stock are sold and
no interest accrues on the obligation.
The Company paid Albert Fretz, who at the time of the transaction was
an officer of the Company, a royalty fee of $6,750 for the year ended February
28, 1999 to purchase the proprietary rights to the Quick Fixx 2000 software.
On January 25, 1999, the Company issued 2,000,000 shares of restricted
common stock valued at $.06 per share, for a total amount of $120,000 to Wilfred
Blum, a director of the Company and its former Chief Executive Officer and
President. Of the shares issued, 1.6 million shares or $96,000 worth of stock
was issued for services rendered to the Company during the fiscal year ended
February 28, 1999, and 400,000 shares or $24,000 worth of stock was issued to
repay cash advances to the Company. On or about July, 1999, the Company loaned
$12,340 to Mr. Blum. No note has been executed for this advance. The loan does
not bear interest. The Company's management expects the loan to be repaid in
calendar year 2000.
On February 3, 1999, the Company issued 50,000 shares of restricted
common stock valued at $.20 per share, for a total amount of $10,000 to Richards
& Associates, Inc., a Utah corporation, of which Mr. George E. Richards, Jr.,
the current Chief Executive Officer and President of the Company, is the sole
shareholder, for services rendered by Mr. Richards to the Company during the
fiscal year ended February 28, 1999.
On November 25 and December 2, 1998, the Company issued a total of
234,100 shares of restricted common stock valued at $.22 per share to D. Welker,
who at the time of the transaction was an officer of the Company, to repay
previous net unpaid cash advances to the Company of $51,500.

PART II
ITEM 1. MARKET FOR COMMON EQUITY AND RELATED STOCKHOLDER MATTERS.
The Company's common stock was traded on the NASDAQ Bulletin Board
until October 20, 1999, when quotation was transferred to the National Quotation
Bureau's "Pink Sheets" pursuant to NASD Eligibility Rule 6530 issued on January
4, 1999, which provides that issuers who do not make current filings pursuant to
Sections 13 and 15(d) of the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934 are ineligible
for listing on the NASDAQ Bulletin Board. Accordingly, there is currently a
limited market for the Company's shares. The Company expects to apply to be
listed on the NASDAQ Bulletin Board again upon the effectiveness of this
registration statement.
The following table sets forth the high and low bid prices for shares
of the Company's common stock for the periods noted, as reported by the National
Daily Quotation Service and the NASDAQ Bulletin Board. Quotations reflected
inter-dealer prices, without mark-up, markdown or commission and may not
represent actual transactions. There was no trading of the Company's common

common stock issued and outstanding, and there were 313 record stockholders. As
of the date hereof, the Company has not paid or declared any cash dividends. The
Company can give no assurance that it will generate future earnings from which
cash dividends can be paid. Future payment of dividends by the Company, if any,
is at the discretion of the Board of Directors and will depend, among other
criteria, upon the Company's earnings, capital requirements, and its financial
condition as well as other relative factors. Management has followed the policy
of retaining any and all earnings to finance the development of the business.
Such a policy is likely to be maintained as long as necessary to provide working
capital for the Company's operations.

its behalf consulted with Fitzgerald regarding the application of accounting
principles to any specified transaction or the type of audit opinion that might
be rendered on the Company's financial statements. In addition, during the
Company's fiscal years ended February 28, 1999 and 1998, and during the period
March 1, 1999 through August 31, 1999, neither the Company nor anyone acting on

Independent Auditor's Report
To the Board of Directors and Stockholders
of Commercial Concepts, Inc.
Salt Lake City, Utah
We have audited the accompanying balance sheet of Commercial Concepts, Inc. (a
Utah corporation) as of February 28, 1999 and the related statements of
operations, stockholders' equity, and cash flows for the year then ended. These
financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our
responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on
our audit. The financial statements and supplementary information of Commercial
Concepts, Inc. as of February 28, 1998 and 1997, were audited by other auditors
whose report dated March 11, 1998, on those statements included an explanatory
paragraph that described a substantial doubt about the Company's ability to
continue as a going concern due to losses from operations and limited working
capital discussed on Note 4 to the financial statements.
We conducted our audit in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards.
Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable
assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes
assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by
management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.
We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in
all material respects, the financial position of Commercial Concepts, Inc. as of
February 28, 1999, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for
the year then ended in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.
The accompanying financial statements as of February 28, 1999, have been
prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As
discussed in Note 4 to the financial statements, the Company has suffered
recurring losses from operations and has limited working capital. The factors
raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern.
Management's plans regarding those matters also are described in Note 4. The
financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the
outcome of this uncertainty.

Our report on our audit of the basic financial statements of Commercial
Concepts, Inc. for 1999 appears on page 2. That audit was conducted for the

whole. The supplementary Schedule of General and Administrative Expenses is
presented for purposes of additional analysis and is not a required part of the

procedures applied in the audit of the basic financial statements and, in our
opinion, is fairly stated in all material respects in relation to the basic
statements taken as a whole. The supplementary information of Commercial

COMMERCIAL CONCEPTS, INC
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FEBRUARY 28, 1999 AND 1998
NOTE 1 - SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Business Operations The Company develops, markets and supports multimedia
software, information technology for customers' computer based applications, and
development of telecommunications retail locations for the general public.
Development Stage Classification - Commercial Concepts, Inc. was incorporated in
the state of Utah on March 1, 1984. Until February 28, 1998, the Company has
been defined as a development stage company because it had not commenced planned
principal operations and did not have operational revenues, but only sold its
common stock to the public. In November 1997, the Company experienced a change
in its Board of Directors and management. Under the new management the Company
has been engaged in the purchasing of computer software products and in
marketing and distributing them, and effective March 1, 1998, has been an
operating company not subject to development stage company disclosures.
Revenue Recognition - Revenue consists primarily of sales of software and
information technology for customers' computer based applications. Revenue is
recognized upon sale. The Company provides technical support at no charge to
customers, generally no technical assistance beyond installation support is
required.
Provision for income taxes - No provision for income taxes has been made in the
financial statements due to operating losses. The State of Utah franchise taxes
have been included in operating expenses in the statements of operations. Income
tax expense includes federal and state taxes currently payable and deferred
income taxes arising from temporary differences between income for financial
reporting and income tax purposes. These differences result principally from
depreciable assets where different methods of depreciation are used and the
allowances for bad debt which is not deductible for income tax purposes.
Due to operating losses no provision for deferred income taxes has been made.
Cash Equivalents - The Company considers all highly liquid investments with a
maturity of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents.
Inventories - Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market on a
first-in, first-out basis and consist of packaged software and related packaging
supplies.
Use of Estimates - The preparation of financial statements in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles requires 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.
F-11
COMMERCIAL CONCEPTS, INC
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS, CONTINUED
FEBRUARY 28, 1999 AND 1998
Equipment - The cost of equipment is depreciated over the estimated useful lives
of the related assets. The cost of leasehold improvements is depreciated
(amortized) over the lesser of the length of the related leases or the estimated
useful lives of the assets. Depreciation is computed on the straight-line method
for financial reporting purposes and on the MACRS method for income tax
purposes.
Income Taxes - Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are computed annually
for differences between the financial statement and tax bases of assets and
liabilities that will result in taxable or deductible amounts in the future
based on enacted tax laws and rates applicable to the periods in which the
differences are expected to affect taxable income. Valuation allowances are
established when necessary to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected
to be realized. Income tax expense is the tax payable or refundable for the
period plus or minus the change during the period in deferred tax assets and
lialilities.
Concentrations of Credit Risk - The Company develops and markets multimedia
software, information technology for computer based applications. In the course
of such activities, the Company will extend credit to customers located
principally in the Intermountain West. However, the Company is involved in E
commerce with potentially national and global markets and customers.
NOTE 2 - PUBLIC OFFERING OF COMMON STOCK
At inception, the Company offered and sold 1,000,000 shares of its authorized
but unissued stock to the public. An offering price of $.10 per share was
determined by the Company. There are no options or warrants outstanding to
acquire the stock of the Company as of February 28, 1999.
In May 1996, the Company commenced a private offering of common stock pursuant
to an exemption from registration under Regulation D of the Security and
Exchange Commission. 92,050 shares were sold and a total of $460,205 in capital
was raised.
Since inception the Company has privately sold for cash and exchanged common
stock for services and property at various times.
NOTE 3 - SOFTWARE DEVELOPMENT COSTS
The Company has capitalized the acquisition cost of Quick Fix 2000, a Y2K fix,
but no other software costs have been capitalized. The Company's policy is to
expense research and development costs until technological feasibility is
reached and all related research and development activities are completed,
subsequent production expenses to bring the product to market are then
capitalized. Capitalization of software costs is discontinued when the product
is available for general release to customers. No amortization of capitalized
software costs has been included in the accompanying statements of operations.
NOTE 4 - GOING CONCERN
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles, which contemplates continuation of the
Company as a going concern. However, the Company has sustained substantial
losses. In addition, the Company has used almost all of its working capital and
has stockholders' deficits from inception, which raise substantial doubt as to
the Company's ability to continue as a going concern.

NOTE 6 - SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
On June 10, 1999, the Company acquired all the outstanding stock of Advice
Productions, Inc. The acquisition has been accounted for as a purchase. The
total purchase price was $200,000, paid in 1,000,000 shares of restricted
Company common stock valued at $.20 per share. The Company received accounts
receivable, equipment, and liabilities, but the purchase price exceeded the fair
value of net assets received by $200,000, which excess will be recorded as
goodwill in the financial statements. Simultaneous with the acquisition, the
Company entered into a five year employment contract with the principal of the
seller, which set forth, among other matters, the manner in which compensation
will be computed, and also allowed for bonuses and profit sharing. Advice
Productions, Inc. was previously operated as a sole proprietorship, but
incorporated immediately prior to the acquisition, and therefore had no
corporate operations to be combined with Company operations. The operations of
Advice Productions, Inc. from the date of the acquisition will be included with
subsequent Company operations in any subsequent financial statements of the
Company.
Effective March 1, 1999, the Company accepted the resignations of Wilfred R.
Blum as President, David Welcker as Vice President, and Albert E.S. Fretz as
Vice President. The Board of Directors appointed George Richards as the new
President, and appointed Wilfred. S. Blum as Secretary Treasurer. On September
14, 1999, the Board accepted the resignation of Wilfred R. Blum as Secretary
Treasurer, and appointed V. Kelly Randal as Secretary Treasurer. Wilfred R. Blum
will continue as a member of the Board of Directors.
NOTE 7 - RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
The Company has transactions with certain stockholders and officers who receive
compensation paid in the form of wages, royalties and consulting fees.
The Company paid an officer a royalty fee of $6,750 for the year ended February
28, 1999.
On January 25, 1999, the Company issued 2,000,000 shares of restricted common
stock to an officer valued at $.06 per share, for a total amount of $120,000.
$96,000 was recorded as services for the year ended February 28, 1999, and
$24,000 was a repayment for previous cash advances to the Company. As of
February 28, 1999, the officer owed the Company $12,340. No note has been
executed for this advance. Company management expects this will be repaid in the
following fiscal year.
On February 3, 1999, the Company issued 50,000 shares of restricted common stock
to a Company officer valued at $.20 per share, for a total amount of $10,000,
which was recorded as services for the year ended February 28, 1999.

NOTE 8 - OPERATING LEASES
As of February 28, 1999 the Company leased office space under a five year
operating lease commencing March 1, 1999. The agreement provides for an annual
base rent of $27,720.

for 12 months and had an option to purchase the leased space for $225,000 with a
down payment of $22,500. The Company has since moved from this office space, and
the purchase option as of February 28, 1998, has expired.
NOTE 9 - LITIGATION
The Company was a defendant in litigation wherein the plaintiff sought
rescission and monetary damages in connection with the purchase of 50,000 shares
of company common stock directly from a former officer of the Company. Without
authorization from the Board of Directors, the former officer made certain
promises and incurred certain obligations in connection with the stock sale,
which the Company subsequently determined it could not legally fulfill.
On December 21, 1999, this lawsuit was mutually settled and dismissed. All
parties have waived all claims, liabilities and demands. As a part of the
settlement, the Company has agreed to issue 360,000 shares of restricted common
stock to the plaintiff.
NOTE 10 - NON COMPLIANCE WITH NASD REPORTING REQUIREMENTS
Effective April 1999, the NASD enacted new rules requiring all OTC: BB listed
companies to be "fully reporting", as defined by the Securities and Exchange
Commission. Under the new reporting requirements, the Company was delinquent in
filing financial information and was "delisted" on October 20, 1999. Steps have
been taken to cure the deficiency, including completion of the audited
financials for the current year. Upon completion and filing of the current year
audited financials, interim financials statements, and SEC Form 10, the Company
expects the deficiency to be satisfied, and anticipates reinstatement with NASD.

NOTE 9 - LITIGATION
The Company was a defendant in litigation wherein the plaintiff sought
rescission and monetary damages in connection with the purchase of 50,000 shares
of Company common stock directly from a former officer of the Company. Without
authorization from the Board of Directors, the former officer made certain
promises and incurred obligations in connection with the stock sale, which the
Company subsequently determined it could not legally fulfill.
On December 21, 1999, this lawsuit was mutually settled and dismissed. All
parties have waived all claims, liabilities and demands. As a part of the
settlement, the Company has agreed to issue 360,000 shares of restricted common
stock to the plaintiff.

companies to be "fully reporting", as defined by regulations of the Securities
and Exchange Commission. Under the new reporting requirements, the Company was
delinquent in filing certain financial information and was "delisted" on October
20, 1999. Steps have been taken to cure the deficiency, including completion of
the audited financial statements for the year ended February 28, 1999. Upon
completion and filing of the prior year audited financials, current year interim
financial statements, and SEC Form 10, the Company expects the reporting
deficiency to be satisfied, and anticipates reinstatement with NASD.
