SUMMARY OF OUR OFFERING THIS SUMMARY HIGHLIGHTS SELECTED INFORMATION FROM THE PROSPECTUS. IT DOES NOT CONTAIN ALL OF THE INFORMATION THAT IS IMPORTANT TO YOU. WE URGE YOU TO READ THE ENTIRE PROSPECTUS BEFORE CONSIDERING INVESTING IN ANY COMMON STOCK OF OUR COMPANY. (Nexland, Inc. and, unless otherwise noted, or if the context otherwise requires, its former name, Windstar Resources, Inc., are referred to in this prospectus as "Nexland," "our," "we" or " us". "WindStar" Nexland LP" and "Nexland Fla.," may also on occasion be used to identify specific events prior to the November 1999 reverse acquisition of Nexland Fla. by WindStar) WindStar was formed in Arizona on March 22, 1995, (under the name Turtleback Mountain Gold Co., Inc.) to engage in the business of mineral exploration, and if warranted, development and production, or the sale of precious minerals. WindStar failed to achieve its goals and business objectives and in 1999 we concluded it was no longer economical to continue as a public gold exploration mining company. Nexland Fla. was incorporated in Florida on December 4, 1994, but was inactive until November 17, 1999 when it was acquired by us. Nexland LP, a Florida limited partnership, formed on September 25, 1997, was an operating company until November 15, 1999 when it assigned all of its partnership assets to Nexland Fla. in exchange for 17,000 of the latter's common shares. On November 17, 1999, we acquired Nexland Fla. in a reverse acquisition transaction resulting in the change of our business from mining to Internet technology. We changed our name to "Nexland, Inc." on December 8, 1999. 1.1 OUR BUSINESS. We provide Internet access solutions for the office or home through sales, marketing and distribution of information technology hardware. We develop, market, distribute and manufacture through third parties, Internet Sharing Boxes or ISBs, that enable any entity with an ethernet network (home or commercial) to cost effectively share secure Internet access and email across that network. An ethernet network is a standard for connecting computers into a local area network, i.e., a computer network limited to the immediate area, usually in the same building, also referred to as a LAN. Our products are a flexible and scalable platform that provides firmware-based routing and functionality to deliver Internet-enabled applications and services. Our products support existing analog phone lines, as well as integrated services digital networks (ISDN) and emerging access technologies such as digital subscriber line (xDSL) and cable modems. Our product technology coupled with broadband Internet access enables multiple users to access the Internet simultaneously through regular phone lines and analog modems at up to 30-50 times the access speed of a single -6- analog connection. We also offer Virtual Private Networking " VPN" pass-through support (IPSec, PPTP, and L2TP) which allows the encrypted flow of data packets over the Internet, a public domain, to pass through our devices. Additionally, we manufacture a complete line of networking hardware such as hubs, routers, switches, mini-transceivers and local area network or LAN cards. We identify the home, office and home-office market as the end users of our products although we primarily target Internet service providers, telephone companies and value-added resellers as our immediate market. The office environment can consist of both small and large corporate businesses and branch or satellite offices of larger businesses. Further, we believe that emerging broadband access technologies such as digital subscriber line (xDSL) and cable modems will enable a variety of new data intensive, multimedia and graphical applications that increase the value of shared Internet access for the office environment. We primarily market and sell our products throughout North America and, to a limited extent, South America. Although our marketing strategy will employ value-added resellers, selected retail outlets and mail order catalogs, we will primarily focus upon Internet service providers and telephone companies. 1.2 THE OFFERING. Common Shares outstanding prior to offering ..........................34,308,916 Securities offered upon exercise of A Warrants ...................................... 1,541,558 Securities offered upon exercise of B Warrants ...................................... 1,600,000 Equity Securities to be outstanding after offering (assuming complete exercise of A and B Warrants): o common.......................................................37,450,474 o preferred.................................................... -0- o options...................................................... 160,000 o warrants..................................................... -0- The number of shares being registered is our good faith assumption, that all Warrant holders will exercise due to the price of our Common stock during the weeks immediately preceding the filing of this Registration Statement. The number of common shares outstanding following the Offering does not include 160,000 options to purchase 160,000 common shares. The options were issued in connection with Employment Agreements; the exercise price of the options range from $1.00 to $5.00 per share. 1.3 USE OF PROCEEDS. Assuming the exercise of all A (at $1.00) and B warrants, we would have about $9,541,558 million in net proceeds. We plan to use the net proceeds for general corporate purposes and working capital. -7- 1.4 RISK FACTORS. Investment in our stock should be considered highly speculative, start-up and largely unproven. There are non-arms length transactions involving conflicts of interest between us and our affiliates. Purchasers of the shares of common stock upon the exercise of the warrants will incur immediate and substantial dilution in the net tangible book value of the shares and the price at which our securities are being offered to the public. We have arbitrarily determined the warrant exercise price. We will incur substantial offering expenses in connection with this offering and we do not anticipate paying any dividends on our Common Stock. 1.5 SELECTED FINANCIAL INFORMATION. The selected financial data presented below has been derived from our financial statements, which have been examined by Williams & Webster, Certified Public Accountants, as indicated in their report found at the end of the prospectus. You should read the information in conjunction with all other financial information and analysis in this prospectus. Please don't assume that the results below indicate results we'll achieve in the future, that we will ever have material revenues or that our operations will be profitable.

From August 1997 to November 15, 1999, all of the operations were conducted through Nexland LP. Nexland Fla. was dormant during that period. [2] For 1997 and 1998, Stockholder's Equity is actually partners capital of Nexland LP and the equity of Nexland Fla. [3] In the acquisition of Nexland LP and Nexland Fla., the allocated 29,500,000 shares for the interests of the partners in the partnership and the original shares by Nexland Fla., are used as the net stock outstanding. For 1997 and 1998, these shares are considered as outstanding for purposes of comparison. -8- 2. RISK FACTORS The Securities being offered involve a high degree of risk and, therefore you should carefully consider, among other factors, the following risks: 2.1. OUR LIMITED OPERATING HISTORY MAKES IT DIFFICULT FOR AN INVESTOR TO EVALUATE OUR BUSINESS AND PROSPECTS. Nexland was incorporated in December 1997 and has minimal business history that investors can analyze to help them decide whether or not to invest in us. We first began shipping products commercially in 1999. Any investment in us should be considered a high-risk investment because investors will be placing their funds at risk in an unseasoned development stage company with unforeseen costs, expenses and problems often experienced by development stage companies. There can be no assurance that we will be able to achieve profitability in the future and, if achieved, sustain such profitability. We anticipate that marketing and selling our line of products as contemplated herein will require substantial expenditures; i.e., public relations, outside sales associates, hiring of a chief financial officer, etc. The likelihood of our success must be considered in light of the problems, expenses, difficulties, complications and delays frequently encountered in connection with a new business, and the competitive and regulatory environment in which we operate. 2.2 WE HAVE HAD HISTORY OF LIMITED REVENUES THIS MAY CONTINUE TO BE THE CASE. From the reverse acquisition of November 17, 1999 to December 31, 1999, we generated operating revenues of approximately $67,057 and incurred costs of revenues of $34,175, operating expenses of $64,576 and interest expense of $1,706. All operating revenues have been achieved by Nexland Fla. At December 31, 1999, we had an accumulated deficit of approximately $33,400 after discounts and dividends. Even if we do achieve profitability, we cannot assure you that we can sustain or increase profitability on a quarterly or annual basis in the future. Furthermore, we currently expect to use the net proceeds of this offering to increase our sales and marketing expenditures, research and development expenditures and capital expenditures. We may not generate a sufficient level of revenue to offset these expenditures or be able to adjust spending in a timely manner to respond to any unanticipated decline in revenue. If revenue grows slower than we anticipate, if gross margins do not improve or if operating expenditures exceed our expectations or cannot be adjusted accordingly, we may continue to experience significant losses on a quarterly and annual basis. 2.3 WE HAVE HAD HISTORY OF A LIMITED CUSTOMER BASE AND THIS MAY CONTINUE TO BE THE CASE. At present, our customer base consists primarily of Internet service providers or ISPs, telephone companies or Telcos, and value-added resellers. Our ability to operate profitably depends on increasing our customer base and achieving sufficient gross profit margins. We cannot assure -9- you that we will be able to increase our customer base or to operate profitably. If any of our major customers stops or delays its purchase of our products, our revenue and profitability would be adversely affected. We anticipate that sales of our products to relatively few customers will continue to account for a significant portion of our revenue. In 1999, sales to ten customers accounted for 70% of our revenue. We cannot assure you that our current customers will continue to place orders with us, that orders by existing customers will continue at the levels of previous periods or that we will be able to obtain orders from new customers. Although our financial performance depends on large orders from a few key customers and resellers we do not have binding commitments from any of them. 2.4 WE ARE SUBJECT TO ALL OF THE SUBSTANTIAL RISKS INHERENT IN AN INTERNET BUSINESS, WHICH MAY HARM OUR ABILITY TO OPERATE SUCCESSFULLY . We are subject to all of the substantial risks inherent in an Internet related business, any one of which may harm our ability to operate successfully. These include, but are not limited to: o Our inability to attract or retain customers. o Our failure to anticipate and adapt to a developing market o Our inability to upgrade and develop competitive products. o Technical difficulties with product development. 2.5 IF WE CANNOT MANAGE OUR GROWTH EFFECTIVELY, OUR BUSINESS COULD BE HARMED. We are currently experiencing a period of significant growth. As part of this growth, we will have to: o Implement new operational procedures and controls. o Train and manage our employees. o Expand and coordinate our operations o Hire additional staff. o Expand existing offices and open new offices. If we cannot manage the growth of our network, staff, offices, and business and coordinate the activities of our technical, accounting, finance, marketing, and sales staff effectively, we will: o Commit funds that may not produce revenue. o Increase our operational overhead. o Expend management time and effort on operations that may not succeed. -10- 2.6 IF WE CANNOT INTEGRATE NEW BUSINESSES, OPERATIONS, TECHNOLOGY, AND PERSONNEL OUR GROWTH AND OUR BUSINESS COULD BE HARMED. If we acquire new businesses, we will need to integrate new operations, technologies and personnel. Acquisitions and business combinations entail numerous operational risks, including: o Difficulty in the assimilation of acquired operations, technologies or products. o Diversion of management's attention from other business operations. o Risks of entering markets in which we have limited or no experience. o Potential loss of key employees of acquired businesses. 2.7 IF WE RAISE ADDITIONAL CAPITAL THROUGH THE ISSUANCE OF EQUITY OR CONVERTIBLE DEBT, YOUR PROPORTIONATE INTEREST WILL BE DILUTED. We are dependent on the success of this offering to implement our business plan. If it is not successful we will need more working capital to expand our operations. If we raise additional capital by issuing equity or convertible debt securities, the percentage ownership of our then-current stockholders will be reduced, and such securities may have senior rights, preferences, or privileges. 2.8 WE MAY NOT BE ABLE TO RAISE ADDITIONAL CAPITAL ON THE MOST FAVORABLE TERMS We may not be able to obtain financing on favorable terms, or at all, which will limit our ability to: o Expand. o Take advantage of unanticipated opportunities, develop or enhance services. o Otherwise respond to competitive pressures. This limitation could harm our business and decrease the value of the shares or cause us to go out of business. If we are unable to continue our operations, your entire investment in us will be lost. See "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations--Liquidity and Capital Resources" for a discussion of our working capital and capital expenditures. 2.9 WE COULD LOSE REVENUES AND OUR REPUTATION MAY BE DAMAGED IF OUR SYSTEMS OR THOSE OF OUR CUSTOMERS OR OUR SUPPLIERS ARE NOT YEAR 2000 COMPLIANT. We established a program during 1999 to ensure that, to the extent reasonably possible, all systems are Year 2000 compliant. Since the beginning of the new millennium we have experienced no problems related to Y2K. Although there continues to be inherent uncertainty in the Year 2000 -11- issue, based on the results of our Y2K program, we do not believe that the Year 2000 issues will have a material effect on our internal network, computer systems, or operations. Our customers are dependent on a number of third party network service providers. At present, we are not aware, nor have we experienced, any third party Year 2000 issues that are likely to result in any disruption of our services. The failure of third party network service providers to properly correct a Year 2000 problem could result in the interruption or failure of their normal business activities or operations. 2.10 YOU MAY NOT BE ABLE TO RESELL SHARES OF OUR STOCK AT OR FOR MORE THAN THE PRICE YOU PAID. The price of our common stock and Internet and telecommunication stock in general, have recently experienced extreme volatility that often has been unrelated to the operating performance of any specific public companies. During the period from December 23, 1999 to March 24, 2000, the bid and ask price of our common stock has ranged from a high of $8.00 to a low of $4.00. If continued, these broad market and industry fluctuations may adversely affect the trading price of our common stock, regardless of our actual operating performance. This volatility may negatively impact the liquidity and value of your shares. 2.11 THERE IS A POTENTIAL LACK OF LIQUIDITY FOR COMMON STOCK Our common stock trades on the OTC Electronic Bulletin Board. Stocks trading on the OTC Electronic Bulletin Board generally attract a smaller number of market makers and a less active public market. Moreover, since our common stock is traded on the OTC Electronic Bulletin Board, investors may find it difficult to dispose of or obtain accurate quotations as to the value of our common stock. 2.12 IF WE TRADE BELOW $5.00 PER SHARE WE WILL BE SUBJECT TO PENNY STOCK REGULATIONS AND RESTRICTIONS The Securities Exchange Commission has adopted regulations, which generally define Penny Stocks to be an Equity Security that has a market price less than $5.00 per share, subject to certain exemptions. As of March 27, 2000, the closing trade price of our common stock was $6.062 per share, and therefore is not presently designated as a "penny stock." Such a designation requires any broker or dealer selling such securities to disclose certain information concerning the transaction, obtain a written agreement from the purchaser, and determine that the purchaser is reasonably suitable to purchase such securities. These rules will restrict the ability of Broker / Dealers to sell our common stock and may affect the ability of Investors to sell their shares. -12- 2.13 WE HAVE A SUBSTANTIAL AMOUNT OF STOCK THAT WILL BECOME AVAILABLE FOR RESALE UNDER RULE 144, WHICH MAY HAVE AN ADVERSE EFFECT ON THE MARKET AND OUR ABILITY TO OBTAIN EQUITY FINANCING We have issued and outstanding prior to this offering 34,308,916 shares of common stock of which 33,636,950 shares are "restricted securities" as that term is defined under Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act. Future sales of the restricted shares may be made under Rule 144. Such sales may have an adverse effect on the then prevailing market price of the common stock, adversely affect our ability to obtain future financing in the capital markets, and may create a potential market overhang. 2.14 OUR ARTICLES OF INCORPORATION ALLOW AUTHORIZATION AND DISCRETIONARY ISSUANCE OF BLANK CHECK PREFERRED STOCK WHICH COULD DELAY, DETER, OR PREVENT A TAKE OVER, MERGER OR CHANGE OF CONTROL AND MAY PREVENT YOU FROM REALIZING A PREMIUM RETURN Our Articles of Incorporation authorize the issuance of "blank check," preferred stock. The board of directors is empowered, without stockholder approval, to designate and issue additional series of preferred stock with dividend, liquidation, conversion, voting or other rights, including the right to issue convertible securities with no limitations on conversion. These designations and issuances, could: o Adversely affect the voting power or other rights of the holders of our common stock. o Substantially dilute the common shareholder's interest. o Depress the price of our common stock. o delay, deter, or prevent a merger, take over or change in control without any action by the shareholders. 2.15 OUR BUSINESS PLAN CONTEMPLATES FUTURE INTERNATIONAL OPERATIONS BUT THERE ARE NUMEROUS RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES IN OFFERING SERVICES OUTSIDE OF THE UNITED STATES. We intend to expand into international markets. We currently have a technology sharing business relationship with Nexland France, which precludes us from marketing in Europe, subject to our exercising an option to acquire that company. We cannot be sure that we will be able to successfully sell our services or adequately maintain operations outside North or South America. In addition, there are certain risks inherent in conducting business internationally. These include: o Unexpected changes in regulatory requirements. -13- o Ability to secure and maintain the necessary physical and telecommunications infrastructure. o Challenges in staffing and managing foreign operations. o Employment laws and practices in foreign countries. Any of these could adversely affect our proposed international operations. Furthermore, some foreign governments have enforced laws and regulations on content distributed over the Internet that are more restrictive than those currently in place in the United States. Our manufacturing is performed by companies located in Taiwan. The current political tension between Taiwan and mainland China, may impair our ability to import product from our manufacturers. Any one or more of these factors could adversely affect our contemplated future international operations, and consequently, our business. 2.16 WE MAY BE UNABLE TO PROTECT OUR INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS OR TO CONTINUE USING INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY THAT WE LICENSE FROM OTHERS; WE MAY ALSO BE THE SUBJECT OF INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY INFRINGEMENT CLAIMS. We rely and intend to rely on a combination of patents pending, copyright, trademark, service mark, and trade secret laws and contractual restrictions to establish and protect certain of our proprietary rights. We have a patent pending for certain technology which is included in our family of Internet Sharing products. There can be no assurance that we will be able to obtain such protection. Despite our efforts to protect our proprietary rights, we cannot assure you that unauthorized parties will not copy or otherwise obtain and use our data or technology or will not independently develop similar or competing technology. We cannot assure you that these precautions will prevent misappropriation or infringement of our intellectual property. Monitoring unauthorized use of our products is difficult, and we cannot assure you that the steps we have taken will prevent misappropriation of our technology or intellectual property, particularly in foreign countries where the laws may not protect our proprietary rights as fully as in the United States. Our industry is characterized by the existence of a large number of patents and frequent claims and related litigation regarding patent and other intellectual property rights. In particular, leading companies in the data communications and networking markets have extensive patent portfolios with respect to modem and networking technology. From time to time, third parties, including these leading companies, have asserted and may assert exclusive patent, copyright, trademark and other intellectual property rights to technologies and related standards that are important to us. We expect that we may increasingly be subject to infringement claims as the numbers of products and competitors in the office market for shared Internet access solutions grow and the functionality of products overlaps. As of the date of this prospectus, we have not been the recipient of any such claims. We may in the future initiate claims or litigation against third parties for infringement of our proprietary rights to determine the scope and validity of our proprietary rights. Any such claims, with or without merit, could be time-consuming, result in costly litigation and diversion of technical -14- and management personnel, or require us to develop non-infringing technology or enter into royalty or licensing agreements. Such royalty or licensing agreements, if required, may not be available on acceptable terms, if at all. In the event of a successful claim of infringement and our failure or inability to develop non-infringing technology or license the proprietary rights on a timely basis, our business would be harmed. 2.17 BECAUSE OF THE UNCERTAINTY ASSOCIATED WITH UNPROVEN BUSINESS MODELS, WE MAY BE UNABLE TO ACHIEVE WIDESPREAD MARKET ACCEPTANCE Since our business model is relatively new and unproven, we may not be able to anticipate and adapt to a developing market. In addition, our success will depend upon the widespread commercial acceptance of shared Internet access products by offices. Businesses have only recently begun to deploy shared Internet access products, and the market for these products is not fully developed. If the single Internet access devices, such as Integrated Services Digital Network or ISDN, xDSL and cable modems, currently utilized by many offices are deemed sufficient even though they do not enable shared access, then the market acceptance of our products may be slower than expected. Potential users of our products may have concerns regarding the security, reliability, cost, ease of use and capability of our products. We cannot accurately predict the future growth rate or the ultimate size of the office or home markets. 2.18 WE CANNOT BE CERTAIN THAT WE WILL BE ABLE TO COMPETE WITH SIGNIFICANT PRICING PRESSURE BY OUR COMPETITORS. As a result of increased competition in our industry, we expect to encounter significant pricing pressure. We cannot be certain that we will be able to offset the effects of any required price reductions through an increase in the number of our customers, higher revenues from our business services, cost reductions or otherwise, or that we will have the resources to continue to compete successfully. 2.19 OUR BUSINESS WILL BE ADVERSELY AFFECTED IF WE LOSE MARKET SHARE We compete in a new, rapidly evolving and highly competitive market. We expect competition to persist and intensify in the future. Our current and potential competitors offer a variety of competitive products, including shared Internet access devices such as the products offered by RAMP Networks, Flowpoint, Intel, Netopia, Sonicwall, Linksys, Cayman Systems and others, and high-end networking equipment such as routers and switches offered by companies such as 3Com and Nortel. Many of our competitors are substantially larger than we are and have significantly greater financial, sales, marketing, technical, manufacturing and other resources and more established distribution channels. These competitors may be able to respond more rapidly to new or emerging technologies and changes in customer requirements or devote greater resources to the development, promotion and sale of their products than we can. Furthermore, some of our competitors may make -15- strategic acquisitions or establish cooperative relationships among themselves or with third parties to increase their ability to rapidly gain market share by addressing the needs of our prospective customers. These competitors may enter our existing or future markets with solutions that may be less expensive, provide higher performance or additional features or be introduced earlier than our solutions. Given the market opportunity in the shared Internet access market, we also expect that other companies may enter our market with better products and technologies. If any technology that is competing with ours is more reliable, faster, and less expensive or has other advantages over our technology, then the demand for our products and services would decrease, which would seriously harm our business. We expect our competitors to continue to improve the performance of their current products and introduce new products or new technologies as industry standards and customer requirements evolve that may supplant or provide lower cost alternatives to our products. To be competitive, we must continue to invest significant resources in research and development, sales and marketing and customer support. Increased competition is likely to result in price reductions, reduced gross margins, longer sales cycles, and loss of market share, any of which would seriously harm our business and results of operations. The market for shared Internet access solutions is characterized by rapidly changing technologies and short product life cycles. Our future success will depend in large part upon our ability to: o identify and respond to emerging technological trends in the market; o develop and maintain competitive products; o enhance our products by adding innovative features that differentiate our products from those of our competitors; o bring products to market on a timely basis at competitive prices; o respond effectively to new technological changes or new product announcements by others; and o respond to emerging broadband access technologies such as xDSL, cable, wireless and other emerging broadband technologies. The technical innovations required for us to remain competitive are inherently complex, require long development cycles, and are dependent in some cases on sole source suppliers. We will be required to continue to invest in research and development in order to attempt to maintain and enhance our existing technologies and products, but we may not have the funds available to do so. Even if we have sufficient funds, these investments may not serve the needs of customers or be compatible with changing technological requirements or standards. Most development expenses must be incurred before the technical feasibility or commercial viability of new or enhanced products can be ascertained. Revenue from future products or product enhancements may not be sufficient to recover the associated development costs. -16- 2.20 WE HAVE LIMITED MARKETING AND SALES CAPABILITY. Because of our limited working capital in the past, we have not had the resources to fully implement our marketing and sales strategy. In order to increase our revenues, we are in the process of further implementing a marketing and sales force with technical expertise and marketing capability. There can be no assurance that we will be able to: o Establish such a sales force. o Gain market acceptance for our products. o Develop our sales force. o Obtain and retain qualified sales personnel on acceptable terms. o Meet our proposed marketing schedules or plans. To the extent that we arrange with third parties to market our services, the success of such products may depend on the efforts of such third parties. 2.21. THE LOSS OF THE SERVICES OF EXISTING PERSONNEL AS WELL AS THE FAILURE TO RECRUIT KEY TECHNICAL AND MANAGEMENT PERSONNEL WOULD BE DETRIMENTAL AND COULD HAVE AN ADVERSE IMPACT UPON OUR BUSINESS AFFAIRS AND FINANCES Due to the specialized nature of our business, we are highly dependent upon our ability to attract and retain qualified technical and managerial personnel. Therefore we have entered into employment and consulting agreements with certain of our executive officers. We have also engaged Nexland France to consult regarding our technology and research and development. Nexland France has agreed to provide the services of their entire research and development department including Israel Daniel Sultan. The loss of the services of existing personnel, especially Mr. Levine our President/Chief Executive Officer and Nexland France, as well as the failure to recruit key technical and managerial personnel in a timely manner would be detrimental and could have an adverse impact upon our business affairs or finances. Our anticipated growth and expansion into areas and activities requiring additional expertise, such as marketing, will require the addition of new management personnel. Competition for qualified personnel is intense and there can be no assurance that we will be able to attract and retain qualified personnel necessary for the development of our business. We cannot assure you that we will be able to effectively manage the expansion of our operations, that our systems, procedures or controls will be adequate to support our operations or that the executive management team will be able to achieve the rapid execution necessary to fully exploit the market opportunity for our products and services. -17- 2.22 OUR EXECUTIVE OFFICERS, DIRECTORS AND PRINCIPAL STOCKHOLDERS, TOGETHER, MAY BE ABLE TO EFFECTIVELY EXERCISE CONTROL OVER ALL MATTERS SUBMITTED TO A VOTE OF STOCKHOLDERS Our executive officers, directors, and principal stockholders beneficially own, in the aggregate, approximately 81.2% of our outstanding shares of common stock. These stockholders, if acting together, will be able to effectively control most matters requiring approval by our stockholders, including the election of our Directors. These shareholders can designate the members of our Board of Directors and can decide our operations and business strategy. You may disagree with these shareholders decisions. Even if you do not like our Directors, you will not be able to remove them from office. Additionally, such persons would be able to influence significantly a proposed amendment to our charter, a merger proposal, a proposed sale of assets or other major corporate transaction or a non-negotiated takeover attempt. Their influence may not be beneficial to you. If they prevent or delay a merger or takeover, you may not realize the premium return that stockholders may realize in conjunction with corporate takeovers. Moreover, there are no preemptive rights in connection with our Common Stock. Finally, cumulative voting in the election of Directors is not provided for. Accordingly, the holders of a majority of the shares of Common Stock, present in person or by proxy, will be able to elect all of our Directors. 2.23 WE HAVE NOT PAID NOR DO WE EXPECT TO PAY DIVIDENDS IN THE NEAR FUTURE It is not anticipated that we will pay any dividends on our common stock in the future. The Board of Directors intends to follow a policy of retaining earnings, if any, for use in our business operations. As a result, the return on your investment in us will depend upon any appreciation in the market price of the common stock. 2.24 THE INSIDE SHAREHOLDERS RECEIVED SHARES FOR LESS CONSIDERATION THAN YOU ARE ASKED TO PAY The number of shares of Common Stock issued to our present shareholders for cash and property was arbitrarily determined and was not the product of arm's length transactions. The inside shareholders received shares for $0.1223 to $0.0104 per share, which is substantially less than you are asked to pay. 2.25 THE OFFICERS AND DIRECTORS MAY BE ENTITLED TO INDEMNIFICATION FOR SECURITIES LIABILITIES BY THE COMPANY RESULTING IN SUBSTANTIAL EXPENDITURES FOR US AND PREVENTING ANY RECOVERY FROM OFFICERS AND DIRECTORS Our Articles of Incorporation provide that we may indemnify any Director, Officer, agent, and/or employee as to those liabilities and on those terms and conditions as are specified in the Arizona Business Corporation Act. Further, we may purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of any such persons whether or not the corporation would have the power to indemnify such person against the liability insured against. The foregoing could result in substantial expenditures by us and -18- prevent any recovery from such Officers, Directors, agents, and employees for losses incurred by us as a result of their actions. Further, we have been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission, indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and is, therefore, unenforceable. 2.26 WE HAVE EXPERIENCED NEGATIVE CASH FLOW WHICH COULD RESULT IN OUR INABILITY TO FUND PROGRAMS AND CREATE A NEED FOR ADDITIONAL FINANCING Since inception, we have experienced negative cash flow from operations and we expect to continue to experience negative cash flow from operations for the foreseeable future. Therefore, we have relied solely on limited revenues, shareholder loans and, by this offering, the issuances of equity securities, to fund our operations. If this offering is not successful, we may need to raise additional funds prior to the expiration of such period. In particular, we may need to raise additional funds, especially if our estimates of revenue, working capital and/or capital expenditure requirements change or prove inaccurate or in order for us to respond to unforseen technological or marketing hurdles or to take advantage of unanticipated opportunities. We cannot be certain that additional financing, through the issuance of equity securities or otherwise, will be available to us on favorable terms when required, or at all. If adequate funds are not available, or are not available on acceptable terms, we may not be able to take advantage of market opportunities, develop new products or otherwise respond to competitive pressures which could adversely affect our ability to achieve and sustain positive cash flow and profitability in the future. 2.27 WE DEPEND ON CONTRACT MANUFACTURERS FOR SUBSTANTIALLY ALL OF OUR MANUFACTURING REQUIREMENTS. THE INABILITY OF OUR CONTRACT MANUFACTURERS TO PROVIDE US WITH ADEQUATE SUPPLIES OF HIGH QUALITY PRODUCTS OR THE LOSS OF ANY OF OUR CONTRACT MANUFACTURERS WOULD CAUSE A DELAY IN OUR ABILITY TO FULFILL ORDERS WHILE WE OBTAIN A REPLACEMENT MANUFACTURER We have developed a highly outsourced contract manufacturing capability for the production of our products. Our primary relationship with our contract manufacturers has been accomplished through our Hong Kong agent located in Taiwan, owned by affiliates, with whom we have entered into a Cooperation Agreement. We rely on contract manufacturers to procure components, assemble, test and package our products. While we believe there are alternative manufacturing companies available at competitive prices, any interruption in the operations of one or more of these contract manufacturers or delays in their shipment of products would adversely affect our ability to meet scheduled product deliveries to our customers. We intend to regularly introduce new products and product enhancements that will require that we rapidly achieve volume production by coordinating our efforts with those of our suppliers and contract manufacturers. The inability of our contract manufacturers to provide us with adequate supplies of high quality products or the loss of any of our contract manufacturers would cause a delay in our ability to fulfill orders while we obtain a replacement manufacturer. In addition, our -19- inability to accurately forecast the actual demand for our products could result in supply, manufacturing or testing capacity constraints. These constraints could result in delays in the delivery of our products or the loss of existing or potential customers. Although we perform random spot testing on manufactured products, we rely on our contract manufacturers for assembly and primary testing of our products. Any product shortages or quality assurance problems could increase the costs of manufacturing, assembling or testing our products. 2.28 IF WE FAIL TO DEVELOP AND EXPAND OUR DISTRIBUTION CHANNELS OUR BUSINESS WILL SUFFER Our product distribution strategy focuses primarily on continuing to develop and expand our distribution channels through ISPs, value-added resellers, and Telcos. If we fail to develop and cultivate relationships with these customers, or if they are not successful in their sales efforts, our product sales may decrease and our operating results may suffer. Many of our resellers also sell products that compete with our products. We cannot assure you that our customers will market our products effectively or continue to devote the resources necessary to provide us with effective sales, marketing and technical support. 2.29 OUR FINANCIAL RESULTS MAY PERIODICALLY VARY DUE TO FACTORS WHICH MAY AFFECT OUR STOCK In some future financial reporting periods our operating results may vary due to factors unrelated to the progress of our business and beyond our control. Should these fluctuations be below the expectations of public market analysts and investors, the price of our common stock may fall. These factors include: o continued market acceptance of our products; o fluctuations in demand for our products and services; o variations in the timing of orders and shipments of our products; o the timing of new product and service introductions by us or our competitors; o our ability to obtain sufficient supplies of sole or limited source components for our products; o unfavorable changes in the prices of the components we purchase; o our ability to attain and maintain production volumes and quality levels for our products; and o our ability to integrate new technologies we develop or acquire into our products. The amount and timing of our operating expenses generally will vary from quarter to quarter depending on the level of actual and anticipated business activities. Research and development expenses will vary as we develop new products. General and administrative expense fluctuations in past periods have been due primarily to the level of sales and marketing expenses associated with new product introductions. In the past, we have experienced fluctuations in operating results. -20- Supply, manufacturing or testing constraints could result in delays in the delivery of our products. Any delay in the product deployment schedule of one or more of our products would likely adversely affect our operating results for a particular period. 2.30 WE WILL HAVE BROAD DISCRETION TO USE THE PROCEEDS FROM THIS OFFERING IN A WAY YOU MAY DISAGREE Of the estimated net proceeds from this offering of approximately $9,000,000, a substantial portion will be used for general corporate purposes and has not yet been designated for a particular purpose. Our management can therefore spend the proceeds from this offering in ways with which our stockholders may not agree. 3. FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS This prospectus contains statements that plan for or anticipate the future. Forward-looking statements include statements about the future of the internet industry, the future of our products in that industry, statements about our future plans and strategies, and most other statements not historical in nature. They are based on assumptions that may or may not prove to be accurate and such projected results should not be relied upon as indicative of the actual results that may be obtained by us. No representation or warranty of any kind is given with respect to the accuracy of such projections or the underlying assumptions. Such projections have been prepared by and are the sole responsibility of our management and have not been reviewed or compiled by independent auditors. Such statements can be identified by the use of forward-looking terminology such as "may," "will," "expect," "anticipate," "continue," "estimate," or other similar words. These statements discuss future expectations, contain projections of results of operations or of financial condition, or state other "forward-looking" information. Examples of forward-looking statements include discussions relating to: o Plans to expand our existing operations. o Plans to enter the international market. o Introductions of new products and services. o Estimates of market sizes and addressable markets for our services and products. o Anticipated revenues from designated markets during 2000 and later years. o Statements regarding the Year 2000 issue. Because forward-looking statements involve future risks and uncertainties, there are factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed or implied. For example, a few of the uncertainties that could effect the accuracy of forward-looking statements, besides the specific factors identified in Section 2, include: -21- o Changes in our business strategies o Changes in the level of demand for our products o Technical developments which make our products obsolete o Changes in general economic and business conditions affecting the internet industry 4. USE OF PROCEEDS We currently expect to use the net proceeds primarily for working capital and general corporate purposes, including increased sales and marketing expenditures, increased research and development expenditures and capital expenditures made in the ordinary course of business. In addition, we may use a portion of the net proceeds for further development of our product lines through acquisitions of products, technologies and businesses. We have an option to purchase Nexland France, but no requirement to do so. Although there is no basis for determining how many Warrants will be exercised, the following table, in order of priority, shows how possible proceeds would be applied over the next 12 months assuming 100% of the A Warrants are exercised and then, 100% of the A and B Warrants combined: Purpose AWarrants A & B Warrants o Research & Development $ 120,000 $ 570,000 o Sales & Marketing1/ 304,000 304,000 o Operating and Administrative Expenses2/ 84,000 244,000 o Salaries - Officers3/ 420,000 420,000 o Other Salaries4/ 510,000 510,000 o Leasehold Payments 72,000 72,000 o Working Capital5/ 31,558 7,421,558 Total $1,541,558 $9,541,558 - ---------------------------------- 1/ This allocation will include the cost of conventions, seminars trade shows, direct mail postage and advertising. 2/ This allocation is intended to meet the general office, clerical and administrative expenses of the Company's operations, including administrative salaries and Director's and Officer's insurance. 3/ This allocation is intended to provide for payment of the president, CEO, and CFO salaries. 4/ This allocation is intended to provide for salaries for technical and sales personnel. 5/ This allocation is intended to supply general working capital for the Company to use in connection with its commercial operations and to meet unexpected contingencies. We may also draw upon this fund in the event the Company decides to exercise its option to purchase Nexland France. The amounts set forth above are only estimates. We are unable to predict precisely what amounts, if any, will be received from the exercise of the Warrants and, consequently, cannot accurately predict what amounts will be used for each purpose. The actual expenditures may vary -22- from the estimates set forth in the table above, depending upon a number of factors beyond our control. It is anticipated that a sufficient reserve has been allocated to "Working Capital" to provide adequate additional funds, without affecting the allocations set forth in other categories. To the extent amounts received are inadequate in any particular area of expenditure, supplemental amounts may be drawn from operating revenues, if any, or from the allocation for "Working Capital." Conversely, in the event that actual expenditures in any particular category are less than the amounts allocated, any amounts not expended will be added to the reserve for "Working Capital." At present, we do not have adequate cash on hand or other resources in order to fully implement our business plan. At least $2,000,000 in proceeds from the exercise of Warrants is required by us for our first year of operation. Depending upon the success of our operations, prevailing market conditions affecting the future prospects of our business, and the availability of new or expanded business opportunities, we may seek funding for future expansion. Pending the utilization of the net proceeds of this offering, the available funds will be invested temporarily in government securities, bank certificates of deposit, and other bank money market instruments. 5. DILUTION As of March 21, 2000, the Company had 34,308,916 shares of Common Stock outstanding with no net tangible book value per share. We had a net deficit of $365,454.63 as of our most recent financial statements dated December 31, 1999 at $1.00 per share. This net deficit was reduced by $160,000 in March, 2000, by the exercise of common stock options at $1.00 per share in cash. Assuming the exercise of all Class A Warrants (1,541,588 at $1.00 per share) and assuming no other changes to the Company's financial position, the net tangible book value of the Company would be $1,377,368 or approximately $0.04 per share. This represents an immediate dilution of $0.96 per share to new investors and an immediate increase in the net tangible book value of shares held by present shareholders of $0.04 per share. Assuming the exercise of all Class B Warrants (1,600,000 at $5.00 per share) and assuming no other changes to the Company's financial position, the net tangible book value of the Company would be $7,835,780 or approximately $0.22 per share. This represents an immediate dilution of $4.78 per share to new investors and an immediate increase in the net tangible book value of shares held by present shareholders of $0.22 per share. "Net tangible book value" is the amount that results from subtracting the total liabilities, deferred costs, and intangible assets of the Company from its total assets. "Dilution" is the difference between the public offering price and the net tangible book value of the shares immediately after the offering. Additionally, dilution is calculated based on book value of the Company's assets, which may not necessarily reflect the actual market value of such assets. The following table illustrates the per share dilution -23- Assuming Assuming Exercise Assuming Exercise Exercise of of all Class A Warrants [3] of all Class B Warrants [3] all Class A and B Warrants[3] --------------------------- --------------------------- ----------------------------- Exercise price per Warrant [1] . . $1.00 $5.00 $3.04 Net tangible book value per share before offering [2] . . . 0.00 0.00 0.00 Increase per share attributable to existing investors. . 0.04 0.22 0.25 Net tangible book value per share after offering . . 0.04 0.22 0.25 Dilution of net tangible book value per share to new investors . . $0.96 $4.78 $2.79 [1] Exercise price before deduction of offering expenses.

CAPITALIZATION The following table shows our capitalization as of March 21, 2000, as adjusted to reflect the exercise of no Warrants, all Class A Warrants and all Class B Warrants. This table should be reviewed in conjunction with our financial statements and the notes included elsewhere in this Prospectus. See "Financial Statements." -24- As Adjusted for As Adjusted for As Adjusted fo Exercise of all Exercise of all Exercise of all Class A Warrants Class B Warrants Class A and B Actual Pro Forma Pro Forma Warrants Pro Forma ------ --------- ------------------ --------- Stockholder's Equity: 50,000,000 Common Stock Authorized $0.0001 par value; 34,308,916 shares outstanding $ 3,430.89 -- -- -- at Mar. 21, 2000; 35,850,474 shares outstanding (A Warrants); $ -- 3585.05 -- -- 35,908,916 Shares Outstanding (B Warrants) -- -- 3590.89 -- 37,450,474 shares outstanding (A & B Warrants); 3745.05 Preferred Stock $0.0001 par value, $ -- -- -- -- authorized 10,000,000 shares; - -0- issued and outstanding at Mar. 21, 2000 Additional Paid-In Capital[1] $1,518,049.20 3,059,483.04 9,517,889.20 11,059,323.04 Accumulated Deficits [2] $ (365,454.63) (365,454.63) (365,454.63) (365,454.63) TOTAL STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY $1,156,025.46 2,697,613.46 9,156,025.46 10,697,613.46 [1] Additional paid-in capital includes $1,026,016 as of December 31, 1999 and $154,984 from the exercise of options and $332,049.20 per stock issued for services and financing purposes in March 2000.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS 7.1. OVERVIEW The following is a discussion of certain factors affecting our results for the past three fiscal years ending December 31, 1999 and our liquidity and capital resources. We are a provider of easy-to-use, reliable and affordable shared Internet access solutions for the home and small office market. Our ISB family of products allows multiple users in an office or home environment (or comparable arrangement) to share the same Internet connection simultaneously while optimizing each user's access speed, and providing a secure firewall. Our ISB product family is a flexible and scalable platform that provides firmware-based routing and functionality to deliver Internet-enabled applications and services. Our products support existing analog phone lines, as well as ISDN and -25- emerging access technologies such as xDSL and cable modems. Our products enable multiple users to securely access the Internet simultaneously with complete firewall security. We earn revenue primarily from product sales to ISPs, value added resellers and telephone companies, which in turn resell or provide a premium service to their customers seeking shared internet access and security. Our product sales prices range from $199 to $349, depending upon the type of product each customer selects. Customers generally pay us directly on a 30 day delayed basis for these products. From time to time we have also generated revenue from the sale of traditional networking products. Our costs and expenses primarily fall into the following categories: o Cost of Contract Manufacturing; o Sales and marketing; o General and administrative; o Amortization and depreciation. o Research and Development We expect these expenses to increase over time to support our growing customer base. Our operating expenses also include employee salaries and benefits, equipment costs, office rent and utilities and customer service and technical support costs. We expect customer service and support expenses to increase over time to support new and existing subscribers. Our sales and marketing expenses to date have been minimal due to the start of our operations. We expect those expenses to increase as we implement our business plan in the coming year. We anticipate those expenses to include advertising and commissions and bonuses paid to our sales and marketing personnel. We also anticipate hiring additional sales and marketing personnel to assist us in our rapid growth plans. We plan to look at certain employment agreements currently in place to determine the need, if any for modification. We also plan to implement our employee stock compensation/option plan that will attract new employees, retain current employees, and will not be disproportionate to our income from operations. Our general and administrative expenses consist primarily of administrative staff and related benefits. We expect our general and administrative costs to increase to support our growth. Our amortization and depreciation expense primarily relates to our equipment and is based on the estimated useful lives of the assets ranging from three to five years using the straight-line method for the equipment. Depreciation expense is expected to increase as we place in service -26- equipment already purchased and as we acquire additional equipment to support our intended growth. 7.2. REVERSE SPLIT Unless otherwise stated, all share and per share information contained in this prospectus gives retroactive effect to a 1-for-250 reverse split of all outstanding shares of our common stock. 7.3. RESULTS OF OPERATIONS The discussion of our historical results set forth below addresses our historical results of operations and annual conditions as shown on our Financial Statements for the fiscal year ended December 31, 1999, as compared to the fiscal year ended December 31, 1998. However, this information is not necessarily indicative of our operating results since we had no significant operations until November 17, 1999, when we acquired Nexland Inc. (Florida) in a reverse acquisition merger, and began our Internet related operations. Furthermore, for comparison purposes, the information for the predecessor companies, Nexland LP and Nexland, Inc. (Florida) for 1998 and part of 1999 are included in the comparable numbers. For Years Ending December 31, 1999 and 1998: (1) Revenues. For the years ended December 31, 1999, we had $263,338 in revenue consisting primarily of product sales. During 1998, the Company and its predecessors recognized no revenues and were still developing their products and market. The increase in customer revenues is primarily due to long sales cycle and the Company will be adding additional sales positions to continue the expansion of sales. (2) Expenses and Net Loss From Operations. Cost of product sales for the year ended December 31, 1999 was $129,311. Actual product sales did not begin until January 1999, so there are no comparable costs of product for 1998. Advertising expenses for the year ending December 31, 1999 were $10,364 which compares to 3,354 for the same period in 1998. The increase represents the additional advertising used to promote sales in 1999. Salary expense increased to $42,302 from $17,091 as compared to the year ended December 31, 1999 to the year ended December 31, 1998. The increase was due to increased activities of the Company. General and administrative expenses consist primarily of office and equipment rent, costs associated with operating our offices, such as telephones, utilities and supplies, -27- insurance and professional fees, such as legal, accounting and consulting. These expenses increased to $201,661 for the year ended December 31, 1999 as compared to $75,729 for the year ended December 31, 1998, primarily as a result of our start-up activities and beginning minimal operations. Depreciation and amortization for the year ended December 31, 1999 increased to $10,008 from $1,528 for the year ended December 31, 1998. The increase was due to our placing in service equipment during the year ended 1999 and the amortization of intangible assets trademarks acquired as part of the reverse accounts on November 17, 1999. (3) Interest expense. For the months ended December 31, 1999 increased to $9,327 from $2,200 for the year ended December 31, 1998 due to the accrual of interest on the note payable to stockholder. (4) Income From Operations. These activities resulted in a net loss for the year ended December 31, 1999 of $33,400 for Nexland, Inc. and $106,235 for the predecessor Nexland LP. 7.4. LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES. (A) Sources of Cash Since our inception, we have relied principally upon the proceeds of private equity financings/loans to fund our working capital requirements and capital expenditures. We have generated only minimal revenues from operations to date. Although we cannot accurately predict the precise timing of our future capital, we estimate that we will need to expend approximately $2,000,000 on new product, increasing the Company's sales force and additional research and development. In addition, our present operating costs are approximately $35,000 per month and we expect to have operating costs of approximately $100,000 per month by the third quarter of 2000. Upon organization, Windstar sold 1,992,000 shares of our Common Stock to nineteen persons and two corporations for $44,450 in cash and property. The cash has been used for organizational matters and initial start-up. If we are unable to obtain necessary additional capital, we may be required to change our proposed business plan and decrease our planned operations, which would have a material adverse effect upon our business, financial condition, or results of operations. As part of the employment agreement dated November 11, 1997, the Company sold Fred R. Schmid, pursuant to a Stock Purchase Agreement, 540,000 shares of Common Stock at a purchase -28- price of $10,000, which has been paid to the Company. The agreement also provides an option for the purchase of 160,000 shares at an exercise price of $2.50 per share and 160,000 shares at $5.00 per share for a period of ten years. On July 29, 1998, the $2.50 option price was reduced to conform to the offer made to the Class A warrant holders to $1.00 per share to reduce the exercise price for a specific time period. The Company must obtain additional capital in order to fully develop its business plan. The Company intends to raise additional capital through the exercise of the Class A and Class B Warrants for shares of Common Stock, loans, and/or to enter into arrangements for such purposes with third parties. There is no assurance that the Company will be able to raise such additional capital or that, if available, the terms of such financing will be commercially acceptable to the Company. The Company has no significant operating history. The foregoing reflects the 1 for 250 share reverse stock split that took place on April 15, 1998. (B) Capital Expenditures. Our net capital additions were $225 in 1999, for computer equipment. During 2000, the Company anticipates spending $20,000 for a phone system and computers. 8. OUR BUSINESS 8.1. GENERAL We design and develop easy-to-use, reliable and affordable shared Internet access solutions for the office and home markets and similar arrangements. Our product family allows multiple users on a local area network (LAN) in an office to share the same Internet connection simultaneously while optimizing each user's access speed and providing firewall security. Our ISB product family is a flexible and scalable platform that provides firmware-based routing functionality to deliver Internet-enabled applications and services. Our products support existing analog phone lines, as well as ISDN and emerging access technologies such as xDSL, cable modems and wireless connections. Our products enable multiple users to safely and securely access the Internet simultaneously through either regular phone lines, analog modems, or highspeed digital connections. Our products also support VPNs, the passthrough of VPN protocols(IPSec, L2TP and PPTP). We primarily market and sell our products through North American and South American based ISPs, value-added resellers, and Telcos, with some minor sales to direct end-users. As of year-end 1999, we had relationships with over 100 customers. 8.2. EXPLANATION AND BACKGROUND OF THE INTERNET -29- The Internet is a global collection of interconnected computer networks that allows commercial organizations, educational institutions, government agencies, and individuals to communicate electronically, access and share information, and conduct business. As businesses have begun to use e-mail, file transfer and area networks, commercial usage has become a major component of Internet traffic. In the mid-1990s, Internet service providers began to offer access, e-mail, customized content and other specialized services, and products aimed at allowing both commercial and residential customers to obtain information from, transmit information to, and use resources available on the Internet. The emergence of the Web, the graphical, multimedia environment of the Internet, has resulted in the development of the Internet as a new mass communication medium. The Internet has experienced rapid growth in recent years as evidenced by the volume of Internet traffic and the numbers of Internet users, Web sites and Internet-based applications and a proliferation of Internet-based services, including: o chat rooms o online magazines o news feeds o interactive games o educational and entertainment information o development of online communities o Virtual Private Networking This rapid growth is expected to continue as businesses increasingly use the Internet to access and share information and to interact with a large number of geographically dispersed consumers and business partners. Furthermore, an Internet-based economy is emerging as businesses continue to use the Internet to sell products and services, implement electronic commerce initiatives and utilize new generations of Internet-enabled business applications. Participation in this emerging Internet-based economy and realization of the benefits and efficiencies facilitated by new Internet-enabled business applications are becoming increasingly important for the office market as well as the internet service providers and telephone companies which provide internet service to them. The office market includes small businesses, home offices and remote offices. The Internet allows businesses to communicate more effectively with their suppliers and customers and to access and share critical business information both internally and with their business partners. Overall, the Internet and the business applications enabled by the Internet present tremendous opportunities for offices to improve business communications, collaborate with partners and suppliers, perform important business processes online and realize cost and operational efficiencies that will position them to compete more effectively with organizations that have greater resources and market presence. -30- (A) Internet Access Technologies Facilitate New Applications. Analog dial-up modems currently represent the most widely utilized method of accessing the Internet. While many markets worldwide will continue to depend on analog Internet access technologies, new high-speed and high-bandwidth Internet access technologies such as xDSL and cable modems have emerged in recent years. According to TeleChoice, xDSL connections, which utilize the same copper wire infrastructure that provides telephone service to most residential and business locations, are projected to grow from approximately 250,000 in 1999 to more than 2.3 million in 2002. Likewise, cable modem service providers and equipment manufacturers have experienced significant growth in the number of subscribers and deployments over the past several years. There are approximately 350,000 cable modem subscribers in North America and industry analysts such as Forrester Research predict there will be more than 2 million cable modem subscribers during the year 2000. Furthermore, it is predicted by Forrester Research that 25% or 16 million of all online households in the U.S. will have high-speed connectivity to the Internet by 2002 and 3 million xDSL subscribers by 2001. (B) The Broadband Market - High Speed Access. At present ISDN is rapidly becoming available to the United States as a method used to transmit more data over existing regular phone lines. ISDN is, in most markets, priced comparably to standard analog phone circuits. It can provide speeds of roughly 128,000 bits per second, although, in practice, most users will be limited to 56,000 or 64,000 bits per second. However, new emerging access technologies offer greater bandwidth and provide much higher access speeds; they enable a variety of new data intensive, multimedia and graphical applications, as well as new integrated voice and high-speed data connectivity services. These broadband markets include: o Digital Subscriber Line or xDSL, is a method for moving data over existing copper phone lines, but at a much faster rate than a regular phone connection. o Interactive Cable allows for communication across cable infrastructure, cable modems, or cable modem termination centers; also known as headends; o Wireless Transmissions are movements of packets of information over airwaves o Fiber to the Curb exists when fiber optic cable supports an alternative broadband access. o Future technology will include high speed access based on light and photonics that offer nearly unlimited bandwidth capacity. As these access technologies become more affordable and widely available, they will present increasingly attractive alternatives for satisfying the Internet access requirements of offices. Because of our ethernet to ethernet interface, all of the aforementioned broadband options can be securely routed and shared through our family of products. In addition, the office environment will experience an even greater need to access the Internet via these emerging technologies as new generations of business applications emerge that larger competitors can already access through relatively expensive dedicated high-speed leased lines. Furthermore, the higher cost of xDSL and cable modem access technologies relative to analog -31- technologies will increase the need of offices for shared Internet access solutions that enable total implementation costs to be allocated across a greater number of users. (C) Today's Small Business Office Internet Access Environment. Access Media International estimates that in 1998 there were approximately 85 million small businesses worldwide with fewer than 100 employees that could afford and benefit from information technology solutions, including approximately 7.2 million small businesses in the United States alone. International Data Corporation estimates that the percentage of the number of small businesses with access to the Internet increased from approximately 26% in 1997 to approximately 50% in 1998 and is projected to increase to approximately 65% by 2001. Worldwide, there is an increasing demand for Broadband access services. The Internet is becoming increasingly popular to consumers for conducting business and personal pursuits. Consequently, those same consumers are seeking high-speed, low-cost solutions, enabling them to benefit from the advances in data transfer speed. International Data Corporation predicted that by the end of 1999, one in three US households would be online. And businesses have even greater requirements for high-speed access in order to implement electronic commerce and/or web based business initiatives. Despite the large size of the small office market and increasing demand for viable Internet access solutions, most networking and personal computing vendors have tailored their product offerings and Internet access solutions for either the large corporate market or the consumer market. As a result, there are limited shared Internet access solutions designed to accommodate the specific needs of the small office market. Small office Internet access requirements include the following: o Shared Access. Many small offices have addressed the Internet access problem by installing a single dedicated computer that is connected to the Internet via a modem, an analog phone line, and a single Internet service account shared by all users in the office. This approach is inefficient in that it requires users to wait in line until the Internet terminal becomes available. In addition, productivity is often reduced since many users fail to utilize the Internet because it is not conveniently accessible from their individual workplaces. As an alternative, some small offices have added additional modems, analog phone lines and Internet service accounts for each employee requiring Internet access. However, maintaining separate Internet connections for each user is costly and difficult to manage. Moreover, neither of these solutions enable shared Internet access among multiple users, which is critical to achieving cost efficiencies and benefitting from the information sharing, communications and operational advantages offered by the Internet and Internet-enabled business applications. o Ease of Installation and Use. Most small offices lack in-house information technology personnel as well as sufficient resources to hire outside system integration consultants to implement and maintain complex Internet access solutions. -32- Therefore, small offices require Internet access solutions that are easy to install, use, maintain and upgrade. o Affordability. Small offices are often subject to tight budgetary constraints. Therefore, the server-based and router-based local area networking solutions that have been widely adopted by larger organizations to accommodate shared access often are prohibitively expensive for small offices. o Scalability and Compatibility. Small offices need Internet access solutions that accommodate their current requirements and can be scaled to accommodate additional users as their businesses grow. In addition, small offices seek solutions that meet these needs without having to replace existing systems, invest significant capital in upgrades or employ in-house information technology personnel. Further, most small offices have already made significant investments in computer hardware, modems, and software, and in many cases utilize widely available analog access technologies. As a result, small offices require Internet access solutions that are compatible with existing hardware and software and flexible enough to support analog access technologies, as well as ISDN and emerging high-speed access technologies such as xDSL and cable modems. o Platform for New Applications and Services. Small offices also seek Internet access solutions that serve as a platform for the deployment of new applications and services enabled by the Internet and the emergence of high-speed access technologies. (D) The Small Office Market Opportunity for Shared Internet Access Solutions. Access Media International estimates that the number of small businesses in the United States using shared Internet access will grow from 400,000 in 1998 to 1.3 million by the year 2000, representing a three year annual compound growth rate of 80%. However, affordable shared Internet access products currently offered by networking equipment and software vendors typically lack the flexibility and features required by most small offices. As a result, a significant portion of the small office market has been unable to realize the business benefits of the Internet and fully participate in the emerging Internet-based economy. As the Internet grows, electronic commerce initiatives are adopted, and new applications facilitated by emerging high-speed access technologies are introduced, the inability of small offices to effectively access the Internet will become an increasingly significant competitive disadvantage. In order to more fully participate in the evolving uses of the Internet, the small office market requires easy-to-use, affordable and scalable products that enable shared Internet access by multiple users and support a full range of existing and emerging Internet-enabled applications and services. 8.3. THE BENEFITS OUR PRODUCTS ARE DESIGNED TO PROVIDE Our products provide an easy-to-use, reliable and affordable shared Internet access solution. Our solution allows multiple users in an office, workplace or home to share the same Internet connection simultaneously while optimizing each user's access speed. Further, our products are designed to overcome the limitations of existing Internet access solutions by offering a flexible and -33- scalable platform for firmware-based routing functionality and firewall security to deliver Internet-enabled applications and services. Our products inter-operate with Analog modems (28.8K, 33.6K, 56K), and emerging high-speed technologies such as digital modems including ISDN, xDSL and Cable or Wireless connections, and are plug and play (meaning the user simply connects the modem to an ISB box, the ISB box to the network hub, and everyone has secure shared access). In addition, our products extend the benefits of analog technology by enabling multiple users to access the Internet simultaneously through regular phone lines and analog modems at up to 30 times the access speed of a single analog connection. Our products offer the following key benefits: o Efficient Shared Internet Access. The ISB product family enables the entire office to share information, use e-mail, and access the Internet independent of the access technology utilized. Multiple users in an office can share a single Internet connection and ISP account. In addition, users are able to connect simultaneously to a remote office LAN and the Internet. o Ease of Installation and Use. We deliver a plug-and-play shared Internet access solution. To facilitate easy installation, the ISB package contains step-by-step installation instructions and easy-to-follow diagrams and illustrations for a variety of network environments. Users can determine whether their computers are appropriately configured to connect to the product. Our integrated firmware provides a single screen configuration to connect the entire office to the Internet. Our products work within most existing environments and operating systems, such as Windows, Macintosh, or UNIX, and are compatible with most network architectures and all major Internet access technologies. o high-speed Access. Our product family supports all major Internet access technologies used by offices, including analog, ISDN, xDSL, and cable modems. Our routing software allows multiple users to connect simultaneously to the Internet and allocates bandwidth among active users to optimize each user's access speed. In addition, our products aggregate the bandwidth of multiple analog or ISDN lines to create access speeds that are up to 30 times the access speed of a single analog or ISDN connection. o Low Cost of Ownership. The ISB product family is designed to minimize installation, maintenance, and Internet access expenditures by enabling users in offices to share a single Internet connection and ISP account. In addition, the ease of installation and use of the ISB product family enables small offices to avoid hiring in-house information technology personnel that would be otherwise required to implement and maintain an effective Internet access solution. o Scalability and Compatibility. The ISB product family is designed to accommodate additional users easily and to be compatible with most widely-used computers, software, modems, and terminal adapters. This broad compatibility enables most offices to leverage prior technology investments by utilizing our products with hardware and software that has already been installed. -34- o Platform for New Applications and Services. We have designed the ISB product family to facilitate effective delivery of value-added Internet-enabled applications and services such as fax and voice over Internet, virtual private networking, remote dial-in, and advanced security features. Our product line architecture allows software-based applications to be easily downloaded and implemented. It also provides us a platform to deliver new Internet-enabled applications and services to our customers. o Firewall Protection. Our ISB products provide firewall security among shared users. o Virtual Private Network or VPN. This name usually refers to a network in which some of the parts are connected using the public Internet, but the data is transmitted in encrypted form, thus making the network "virtually private." This function is supported by our ISB2LAN product. 8.4. A DESCRIPTION OF OUR PRODUCTS Our primary product line is the ISB series. The ISB products include the ISB100e, the ISB200e and the ISB300e as well as the ISB2LAN Cable/xDSL Internet Sharing Box. The ISB products are cost-effective network adapters that allow everyone on an Ethernet Local Area Network or LAN, to share Internet access at the same time using only one modem, one phone line or cable connection, and one Internet Access Account. In addition, the ISB series of products act as a "natural firewall," providing network security. The ISB products are platform independent and are compatible with personal computers or PC, Macintosh, UNIX, NT, Linux computers or any computer that uses a TCP/IP browser interface. Retail priced from $199 to $349, the ISB line of products provides a simple and cost-effective hardware solution for connecting multiple PCs to the Internet. From the simple single port ISB100e, to the more advanced three port ISB300e and powerful cable/xDSL supporting ISB2LAN, we have an ISB for every application: from the home with three or four PCs to the office with up to 250 PCs. The Internet connection utilized by the company determines the choice of the product. The ISB products fill a unique niche in the networking marketplace. While they can act as routers, the ISB products are less expensive and provide many additional features, including firewall and VPN security, specifically IPSec pass-through that are not available in a stand alone router. While the ISB products can provide the same functionality as a proxy server, our Internet Sharing Box products are much easier to install and configure and do not require any client software, as a proxy server does. The ISB2LAN, is a plug and play product that can be installed on a network in a matter of a few minutes. All of the ISB products allow simultaneous and independent Internet access for all users on a network, as well as natural firewall protection to prevent any unwanted access to the local network. -35- o ISB100e -- One serial port connection for use with any external analog or ISDN modem up to a maximum transfer rate of 230k. Expanded features include modem sharing, fax sharing, and remote access capability and VPN pass-through functionality. o ISB200e -- Same product as the ISB100e except with two serial port connections to allow for up to two external modems. Maximum transfer rate is 460k when both ports are in use. The ISB200e will dynamically increase available bandwidth as needed, or ports can be split for Internet access and other modem functions at the same time. o ISB300e -- Same product as the ISB200e except with three serial port connections to allow for up to three external modems. Maximum transfer rate is 690k when all three ports are in use. The ISB300e will dynamically increase available bandwidth as needed, or ports can be split for Internet access and other modem functions at the same time. o ISB2LAN -- Designed specifically for shared Internet access, the ISB2LAN features "plug and play" installation and configuration. The ISB2LAN connects to a cable or xDSL modem through an Ethernet connection to accommodate high-speed data transmission. The maximum transfer rate of the ISB2LAN is 2.5mb. The ISB2LAN supports PPPoE, remote configuration, and provides VPN functionality. 8.5. BACKGROUND OF THE COMPANY We were incorporated as an Arizona company on March 22, 1995. We were formed to engage in the business of identification, acquisition, exploration and, if warranted, development of mineral properties and the production of minerals there from. However, as WindStar Resources, we never owned an operating mine and, prior to the Nexland Fla. acquisition, had no other revenue-producing mining activities. Since our merger with Nexland Fla., we have become a designer, developer and supplier of Internet sharing devices, Internet firewall devices and networking products and have shed all connection with the mining business. Upon our organization in 1995, we sold an aggregate of 498,000,000 of our Common Stock to nineteen (19) persons and two (2) corporations for an average price of $0.0223 per share or an aggregate of $44,450 in cash and mining claims (later reduced to 1,992,000 based upon a subsequent reverse stock split in April 1998, of 1 for 250). Additional mining claims were transferred to the Company on June 30, 1995 in exchange for 1,240,000 post-split common shares and were valued at the transferor's cost of $13,000. On August 16, 1996, we registered 1,600,000 post-split Units which had previously been issued in exchange for certain additional mining claims. Each Unit consisted of one share of common stock, one "Class A Warrant" and one "Class B Warrant." On June 19, 1998, we registered through a post-effective registration statement, the 3,200,000 shares of Common Stock underlying our Class "A" and Class "B" Warrants. Each A Warrant and each B Warrant entitled the holder to purchase one share of Common Stock at $2.50 per share; and at $5.00 per share, respectively; on or -36- before August 15, 2001. The warrants are redeemable at any time upon the Company giving thirty days written notice to the holder thereof at redemption price of $0.0025 per warrant. On July 29, 1998, we reduced the exercise price for the Class A Warrant holders for a specific time period. Presently, the exercise price is at $1.00 until June 30, 2000, at which time it returns to $2.50 per share. To date, $12,839 has been raised from the exercise of 58,442 A Warrants, leaving 1,541,558 "Class A Warrants" remaining authorized and outstanding (not exercised). Funds must continue to be raised through the exercise of the Class A and Class B Warrants. There is no assurance that the Warrants will be exercised, nor that we will realize any additional funding from this transaction. On April 15, 1998, the Company's shareholders approved, among other things, a 1 for 250 share reverse stock split; and, a change in the authorized capital from 3,000,000,000 shares of Common Stock, $0.00001 par value per share to 50,000,000 shares of Common Stock, $0.0001 par value, and from 400,000,000 shares of Preferred Stock $0.00001 par value per share to 10,000,000 shares of Preferred stock, $0.0001 par value per share. There are currently 34,308,916 shares of Common Stock outstanding. No Preferred Stock has been issued. Nexland Fla., was incorporated in Florida on December 4, 1994, but remained dormant until November 17, 1999, when it was acquired by Windstar in a reverse acquisition. Nexland LP was formed as a Florida limited partnership, on September 25, 1997, and was the operating company until November 15, 1999, when it assigned all its partnership assets, which included the ISB product line, to Nexland Fla. From 1997 through 1999, Nexland LP's operating activities were related primarily to developing, prototyping and testing its first ISB product, staffing administrative, sales and marketing and operations organizations, and establishing relationships with resellers, ISPs and Telcos for the sales of its products. In mid-1999, Nexland LP commenced shipments of its ISB family of products. In addition to the ISB product line, our products include hubs, routers, mini transceivers, communication servers, Ethernet cards and Internet adapters. Nexland Fla. became a public company as a result of its being acquired in "reverse acquisition" with Windstar in November 1999. The shareholders of Nexland Fla. retain approximately 81.2% of the merged company. We trade on the OTC bulletin board market under the symbol "XLND." Our corporate offices are located in Miami, Florida. 8.6. BUSINESS STRATEGY Our intent is to become a leading provider of Internet sharing and firewall security devices in the high-speed broadband arena. We will accomplish our mission by completing the following tasks: o Continuing to interoperate with other high-speed backbone providers. o Satisfy Customers. We believe that the Internet access solutions currently offered -37- by most personal computing and networking vendors continue to be relatively expensive, technically complex and generally unable to satisfy the unique requirements of the office market. Therefore, we believe the opportunity in the office market is significant and we intend to continue to focus our product development efforts, distribution strategies and support services to satisfy the specific requirements of the office market. o Internet-enabled business applications and services. We believe that in order to remain competitive, offices will experience an increasing need to access the Internet. o Continuing to integrate emerging access technologies into our products. Our products are designed to support all major Internet access technologies used by consumers, including analog, ISDN, xDSL and cable and wireless modems. We believe our strategy of developing products that are access technology independent will enable our installed and future customer base to benefit from the deployment of emerging broadband technologies. Further, we believe emerging broadband technologies will increase the demand in offices for shared Internet access solutions. Therefore, we intend to support the commercialization of new broadband technologies in the design of our product offerings and by pursuing partnering relationships with broadband technology providers while continuing to penetrate the existing market for our analog-based products. o Develop Strategic Alliances. In order to be apprized of industry trends, to be compatible with all emerging technologies, and to be recognized as a technologically savvy company, we have aligned ourselves with various industry leaders including Redback Networks, Copper Mountain Networks, and MasTec. 8.7. SALES AND MARKETING OVERVIEW Because of our limited working capital in the past, we have not had the resources to fully implement a marketing and sales force. In order to increase our revenues, we will have to develop a marketing and sales force with technical expertise and marketing capability. We intend the sales staff to be employed both on an independent contractor basis and as in-house employees. The market for our products is rapidly evolving. In developing our sales and marketing strategies we are focused on attracting users for our ISB network products. We believe that the principal competitive factors for companies seeking to use our type of products are facility and flexibility of use, reliability, low cost, quality customer service, and demographic focus. Our marketing and sales director is developing our customer base through an active sales and marketing campaign, primarily centered on building relationships with ISP's and Telcos. At present, we are concentrating our efforts in North America, but anticipate expanding geographically to Latin America. We will strategically locate sales engineers in North America. -38- Each Territory will be comprised of a sales manager, and eventually, a sales team. Each territory sales manager will be responsible for specified current and target (ISP and Telco) customers, and will report to the President. Our focus will be the following: o Increase Our ISPs and Telco Relationships. Unlike many of our competitors, who are targeting distributors and retailers, our strategy is to target ISPs and Telephone Companies. We believe they can target our ultimate consumer, the office and home users, far more efficiently and less expensively than we can through direct marketing or through the use of value added resellers and distributors. o Become the Recommended Product. We believe we can become the "recommended" product among ISPs and telephone companies. Our brand name in the ISP and Telco markets is identified with easy-to-use, inexpensive, affordable, and flexible innovative shared Internet access solutions. (A) Sales Strategy We rely primarily on direct sales to generate new customers and to maintain relationships with existing customers. At present, we have six sales representatives. With the funds generated by this offering, we intend to hire regional sales engineers. As our capacity and operations grow we will be hiring a Vice-President of Marketing and Sales to build a quality in-house direct sales force. (B) Marketing Strategy We plan to utilize a variety of marketing techniques to generate awareness and inquiries. o Magazine/Professional Journal/Newspaper Advertisement. We plan to advertise in major telecommunications and Internet magazines throughout the country using postcard inserts and other mail-in techniques to foster inquiries and to solicit sales. o Trade Shows. Trade shows are a critical component for generating awareness because of their popularity among Internet users. Thousands of enthusiasts who surf the Net attend trade shows each year, as well as vendors and product manufacturers. We plan to participate in several annual local shows and events, as well national shows starting in fiscal year 2000. We estimate that the cost of exhibiting at a national trade show ranges from $75,000 to $150,000 and the cost of exhibiting at a local trade show is between $25,000 and 50,000. o Website. We have a website (www.Nexland.com) where information about us and our services can be obtained. Users can also e-mail a request for contact by one of our sales representatives at Sales@Nexland.com. Interested parties can also call a toll-free number (888-NEX-5264)and request informational literature to be sent to them -39- o Cooperative Advertising. We intend to offer customers a rebate program for advertising our products in their desired medium o Website Banner Advertising. We currently advertise on selected websites. (C) Expansion Strategy. Our expansion strategy primarily consists of the following steps: o Introduce New Products and Services. Our objective is to eventually become a leading provider of secured shared Internet access. We realize that in order to do so, we must be innovative in our product design and capabilities and must continually develop new collaborative management services. In addition, we will establish strategic relationships with leading technology developers and distribution alliances with system integrators, system vendors, consulting companies and Internet Service Providers. o Expand through Acquisition. We operate in a highly fragmented segment of the Internet. This environment provides opportunities for a company of our size and capabilities to acquire similar smaller firms providing complementary services. Acquisition is a popular mechanism for building a diverse customer base through purchase, a grass-roots approach, which entails a large increase in overhead. 8.8. COMPETITION In General. As with all markets growing at double-digit rates, competition for these potential revenues are numerous and formidable. We compete in several different markets, each having its own growth potential, expectations, customer base, and competitors. Some of these competitors may be affiliated with major international players and, as a result, are well financed and may present a formidable challenge. We compete on the basis of certain factors, including product features, time-to-market, ease of use, product, performance, product quality, user scalability, customer support and price. We cannot be certain that we will be able to compete with significant pricing pressure by our competitors. Our current and potential competitors offer a variety of competitive products, including shared Internet access devices such as the products offered by Linksys, RAMP Networks, Netopia and 3Com, and networking equipment such as routers and switches offered by companies such as Ascend, Cisco, 3com, Nortel and Intel. Many of our competitors are substantially larger than we are and have significantly greater financial, sales and marketing, technical, manufacturing and other resources and more established distribution channels. These competitors may be able to respond more rapidly to new or emerging -40- technologies and changes in customer requirements or devote greater resources to the development, promotion and sale of their products than we can. Furthermore, some of our competitors may make strategic acquisitions or establish cooperative relationships among themselves or with third parties to increase their ability to rapidly gain market share by addressing the needs of our prospective customers. These competitors may enter our existing or future markets with solutions that may be less expensive, provide higher performance or additional features or be introduced earlier than our solutions. Given the market opportunity in the shared Internet access market, we also expect that other companies may enter our market with better products and technologies. If any technology that is competing with ours is more reliable, faster, less expensive or has other advantages over our technology, then the demand for our products and services could decrease, which could seriously harm our business. We expect our competitors to continue to improve the performance of their current products and introduce new products or new technologies as industry standards and customer requirements evolve that may supplant or provide lower cost alternatives to our products. Successful new product introductions or enhancements by our competitors could reduce the sales or market acceptance of our products and services, perpetuate intense price competition or make our products obsolete. To be competitive, we must continue to invest significant resources in research and development, sales and marketing, and customer support. We cannot be sure that we will have sufficient resources to make such investments or that we will be able to make the technological advances necessary to be competitive. As a result, we may not be able to compete effectively against our competitors. Our failure to maintain and enhance our competitive position within the market may seriously harm our business. Increased competition is likely to result in price reductions, reduced gross margins, longer sales cycles and loss of market share, any of which would seriously harm our business. We cannot be certain that we will be able to compete successfully against current or future competitors or that competitive pressures will not seriously harm our business. Our potential competitors in the ISB market are as follows: o Ramp Networks, Inc. o Flowpoint o WebBeedle o Cayman Systems o Sonic Wall o Netopia o Linksys o Nortel o Macsense o UMAX We believe that we have several advantages over these competitors, including: -41- o we offer one of the only NAT routers with IPSec VPN pass-through support and have a patent pending on this technology o we enjoy a time-to-market advantage and are therefore well positioned to capture a large percentage of early adopteers, which are generally among the heaviest users o we have established strategic alliances with major technology companies. o we are cost competitive o our products combine features of various competitors o we developed one of the first PPPoE routers. Non-Competition. On November 17, 1999, we entered into a Mutual Non-Competition Agreement with Nexland France, which company we have an option to purchase. The terms of the Agreement provide for: o a five year term o Nexland France shall have exclusive sales rights to Europe o we shall have exclusive sales and marketing rights to the rest of the world o if either party sells into the other's territory, the sales contracts shall be assigned to the other party, and the assignee shall pay the assignor 20% of the gross value of the contract 8.9. YEAR 2000. The "Year 2000" issue concerns the potential exposures related to the automated generation of business and financial misinformation resulting from the application of computer programs which have been written using two digits, rather than four, to define the applicable year of business transactions. We established and completed a program during 1999 to ensure that, to the extent reasonably possible, all systems are Year 2000 compliant. To date we have not have had any problems associated with Y2K. The Year 2000 Program consisted of: o Inventory of systems, equipment, software and hardware including those of significant third-party suppliers and customers. o Analysis of the systems to determine compliance or non-compliance. o Remediation and contingency plan development. o Testing of affected systems. o The team designed an aggressive schedule to identify systems requiring compliance upgrades and tested the systems. Although there continues to be some uncertainty in the Year 2000 issue, based on the results of our Year 2000 Program and the lack of problems thus far, we currently do not believe that the Year 2000 issue will have a material effect on our internal network, computer systems or operations. -42- We have not established contingency plans in case of failure of our internal network and computer systems since we currently believe that such systems are Year 2000 compliant. We are dependent on a number of third party product and service providers. We have performed a technical review of significant third party suppliers and customers and, if available, have surveyed the public Year 2000 statements issued by them. Additionally, we have sent inquiries to certain third party suppliers and customers requesting information regarding their vulnerability to Year 2000 issues. Based on our review and inquiry we believe that they have minimum vulnerability to Year 2000 issues. Although we are not presently aware of any third party Year 2000 issues that are likely to result in any disruption of our services, the failure of our third party network service providers to properly correct a Year 2000 problem could result in the interruption or failure of certain normal business activities or operations. We have not established contingency plans in case of failure of our third party network service providers since we currently believe that they have minimum vulnerability to Year 2000 issues. A significant Year 2000-related disruption of these network services could cause customers to consider seeking alternate providers or cause a significant burden on customer service and technical support. 8.10. INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY We rely and intend to rely on a combination of patent, copyright, trademark and trade secret laws and restrictions on disclosure to protect our intellectual property rights. We have obtained registered trademarks for "Nexland" and "The Internet Sharing Box" with the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office. We have one patent pending relating to technology incorporated in our ISB family of products, consisting of an algorithm that allows the VPN IPSec encrypted protocol to pass through our NAT routers, thus securing the communication from unintended third parties. In addition, we design and implement proprietary coded "firmware" which is designed to make the ISB products function. We cannot assure you that others will not independently develop similar or competing technology. We also intend to enter into confidentiality agreements with our employees and consultants, and control access to and distribution of our documentation and other proprietary information. Despite our efforts to protect our proprietary rights, unauthorized parties may attempt to copy or otherwise obtain and use our products or technology. We cannot assure you that these precautions will prevent misappropriation or infringement of our intellectual property. Monitoring unauthorized use of our products is difficult, and we cannot assure you that the steps we have taken will prevent misappropriation of our technology, particularly in foreign countries where the laws may not protect our proprietary rights as fully as in the United States. Our industry is characterized by the existence of a large number of patents and frequent claims and related litigation regarding patent and other intellectual property rights. In particular, leading companies in the data communications and networking markets have extensive patent -43- portfolios with respect to modem and networking technology. From time to time, third parties, including these leading companies, have asserted and may assert exclusive patent, copyright, trademark and other intellectual property rights to technologies and related standards that are important to us. We expect that we may increasingly be subject to infringement claims as the numbers of products and competitors in the office market for shared Internet access solutions grow and the functionality of products overlaps. In addition, we cannot assure you that third parties will not assert additional claims or initiate litigation against us or our manufacturers, suppliers or customers alleging infringement of their proprietary rights with respect to our existing or future products. We may in the future initiate claims or litigation against third parties for infringement of our proprietary rights to determine the scope and validity of our proprietary rights. Any such claims, with or without merit, could be time-consuming, result in costly litigation and diversion of technical and management personnel, or require us to develop non-infringing technology or enter into royalty or licensing agreements. Such royalty or licensing agreements, if required, may not be available on acceptable terms, if at all. In the event of a successful claim of infringement and our failure or inability to develop non-infringing technology or license the proprietary rights on a timely basis, our business, operating results and financial condition could be materially adversely affected. 8.11. EMPLOYEES As of March, 2000, we employed four persons, including one in operations, one in sales and marketing, and two in customer support, engineering, research and development. We also employ a number of commissioned sales representatives. None of our employees is represented by a labor union and we have experienced no work stoppages to date. We believe our employee relations are good. At present, only our president, Gregory S. Levine, is subject to a November 17, 1999, employment agreement with us which provides for: o a five year term o base salary of $100,000, until we obtain equity or debt financing of at least $1,000,000, at which time the salary shall be $150,000 o we may terminate without cause after December 31, 2001, other than in connection with a change of control, in which case the employee shall receive one year severance pay o should employee be terminated, without cause, 90 days prior, or one year subsequent, to a change of control, he shall be entitled to twice his annual salary. "Change of control" is defined as any person or group (as defined by the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) obtaining 50% or more of our voting securities, or a restructuring of the Company. 8.12. PROPERTY LOCATION, DESCRIPTION AND ACCESS We currently lease our offices located at 1101 Brickell Avenue, Suite 702, North Tower, Miami, Florida 33131, consisting of 1,035 square feet of corporate office space for $1,900 per month, plus tax on a month to month basis. -44- Our inventory is located in a bonded warehouse in Miami, Florida, near the Miami International Airport. Although no lease exists on either location at present, we do not believe that we will experience difficulty in locating alternate space should the need arise. Our telephone number is (305) 358-7771. 8.13. RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT On September 15, 1999, Nexland Fla. confirmed a technology sharing arrangement which it had with Nexland France since the beginning of Nexland's activities. In addition, on March 14, 2000, we entered into a five year Consulting Agreement with Nexland France, which provides for the following: o $175,000 per annum consulting fee to commence when we obtain at least $1,000,000 in financing o the consulting services will be performed by Israel Daniel Sultan, Nexland LP's founder, and one of our principal shareholders o we may terminate without cause after December 31, 2001, other than in connection with a change of control, in which case the consultant shall receive one year severance pay o should consultant be terminated, without cause, 90 days prior, or one year subsequent, to a change of control, consultant shall be entitled to twice its annual fee. "Change of control" is defined as any person or group (as defined by the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) obtaining 50% or more of our voting securities, or a restructuring of the Company. 8.14. MANUFACTURING We have developed a fully outsourced manufacturing capability for the production of our products. This approach enables us to reduce fixed costs and to provide flexibility in meeting market demand. Our manufacturing is primarily conducted in Taiwan. Our primary relationship is with Smerwick Ltd., a Hong Kong corporation, with a branch located in Taiwan, whose principal owners are two of our principal shareholders, Laurent Solomon and Andre Choraqui. Our relationship with Smerwick is based upon a January 1999 Cooperation Agreement that allows us to be flexible, highly responsive to upside demand and limits, and which provides for Smerwick to: o coordinate all of our manufacturing efforts o inspect our products o consolidate and organize our shipments o and handle our exports. -45- In exchange, Smerwick receives a fee equal to 3% of invoices issued to us for the manufacture of our products. The Cooperation Agreement may be canceled on 30 days notice. 8.15. LEGAL MATTERS We are subject to a variety of federal and state laws and regulations, especially those governing the communications and securities fields. 8.16. DIVIDEND POLICY We have never paid a cash dividend on our Common Stock and do not expect to pay a cash dividend in the foreseeable future, but intend to devote all funds to the operations of our business. 8.17. AVAILABILITY OF INFORMATION The public may read and copy any materials we file with the SEC at the SEC's Public Reference Room at 450 Fifth Street, N.W., Washington, D.C. 20549. You may obtain information on the operation of the Public Reference Room by calling the SEC at 1-800-SEC-0330. In addition, we file electronically with the SEC and you may access our filings at the SEC's Internet site (http:/www.sec.gov). Our Internet site is www.nexland.com 9. OUR MANAGEMENT 9.1.

After leaving law school in 1991, Mr. Levine entered the computer industry by taking the Purchasing Manager position with All Exim, Miami, Florida, where he was employed until 1995. In 1995 to 1997, Mr. Levine worked as a consultant In 1997, Mr. Levine was hired as the Business Unit Manager for Mass Storage and Components for Computer 2000/AmeriQuest Technologies where he supervised the business unit and was associated with the development of the OEM Memory Broker Desk In 1998, when C2000 sold AmeriQuest, Mr. Levine opened his own consulting firm, the HG America Group, Inc. It served major industry telcos (AT&T, GTE, Bell Atlantic) with internet sharing and firewall products. Mr. Levine operated HG America Group, Inc. until he joined Nexland in December, 1998. None of Mr. Levine's prior employers are affiliated with the Company. Richard George Steeves, 60, is Secretary and a member of the Board of Directors. Mr. Steeves has been a member of our Board of Directors since November 1996 and from 1997 to 1999, has been our Treasurer and Chief Financial Officer. Since August 1994, Mr. Steeves has been the President and a member of the Board of Directors of JOHSTE, Inc., an Illinois corporation. JOHSTE, Inc. consults with companies on business management.

(C) Board Compensation We do not currently compensate our directors, but they are reimbursed for out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with attendance at meetings of the board of directors or its committees. Our directors are generally eligible to participate in our 1999 stock option plan. 9.2. INDEMNIFICATION. Our Articles of Incorporation provide that the Company's directors and officers will be indemnified to the fullest extent permitted by the Arizona Corporation Code, however, such indemnification shall not apply to acts of intentional misconduct; a knowing violation of law; or, any transaction where an officer or director personally received a benefit in money, property, or services to which to the director was not legally entitled. Our bylaws provide that we indemnify our directors and executive officers and may indemnify our officers, employees, and other agents to the full extent permitted by law. We believe -47- that indemnification under our bylaws covers at least negligence on the part of an indemnified party. Our bylaws also permit us to advance expenses incurred by an indemnified party in connection with the defense of any action or proceeding arising out of his or her status or service as a director, officer, employee or other agent of the company upon an undertaking by him or her to repay such advances if it is ultimately determined that he or she is not entitled to indemnification. We believe that our certificate of incorporation and bylaw provisions and indemnification agreements are necessary to attract and retain qualified persons as directors and executive officers. We also intend to acquire directors' and officers' liability insurance. At present we are not aware of any pending litigation or proceeding involving any director, officer, employee or agent of the company where indemnification will be required or permitted. Furthermore, we are not aware of any threatened litigation or proceeding that might result in a claim for such indemnification. Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, executive officers or persons controlling the company, we have been informed that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is therefore unenforceable. 9.3.

[2] We entered into a three (3) year employment agreement with our former president, Fred R. Schmid, effective November 11, 1997. Since salary was not paid, compensation and interest accrued in the approximate amount of $136,422 which was converted into 136,422 (plus 20,463 penalty shares) shares of our common stock and is being registered in this offering. In April, 1999, the employment agreement was terminated and replaced with a consulting agreement which compensated Mr. Schmid at the rate of 10,000 shares per month. By November, 1999, Mr. Schmid -48- had accumulated 70,000 additional shares of our common stock. [3] The April 1997 consulting agreement, and Mr. Schmid, in his capacity as CEO and president, were terminated in November, 1999, as a result of our merger with Nexland Fla. and replaced with a new two year consulting agreement with compensation at the rate of 15,000 common shares, quarterly, half of which was earned in 1999. [4] The November 11, 1997 employment agreement also provided Mr. Schmid an option for the purchase of 160,000 shares at $2.50 per share and 160,000 shares at $5.00 per shares for a period of ten years. On July 29, 1998, the $2.50 option price was reduced to conform with the offer granted to the Warrant holders to exercise the Class A Warrants at a reduced price of $1.00 for a specific time period. In February, 2000, Mr. Schmid exercised 160,000 of these options, the underlying shares are covered by this registration statement. [5]Mr. Steeves is compensated at the rate of $50.00 per hour 9.4 Stock Option Plan On November 2,1999 the Company Board of Directors adopted its 1999 Nonqualifying Stock Option Plan, which was registered pursuant to an S-8 Registration Statement on November 4, 1999. Under the Plan, employees or other persons associated with the Company, including, without limitation, any employee, director, officer, attorney or consultant of the Company are eligible for options to purchase shares of the Company's Common Stock. The purpose of the Plan is to assist the Company in hiring, retaining and developing strong management by providing an opportunity for employees to purchase stock in the Company. The number of common shares available for options under the Plan is 1,000,000. No options have been granted under the Plan as of the date of this Memorandum. Subsequent to the completion of the Offering, the Company expects to issue options as an inducement for managerial and qualified personnel to remain with and to join the Company. Administration of the Plan is by the Board of Directors or a committee appointed by the Board of Directors which consists of not less than three members (the "Committee"). To date, no such Committee has been appointed, and the Board has elected to administer the Plan itself. Optionees have no rights as stockholders with respect to shares subject to option prior to the issuance of shares pursuant to the exercise thereof. Options issued to employees under the Plan shall expire no later than ten years after the date of grant. An option becomes exercisable at such time and for such amounts as determined at the discretion of the Board of Directors or the Committee at the time of the grant of the option. An optionee may exercise a part of the option from the date that part first becomes exercisable until the option expires. The purchase price for shares to be issued to an employee upon his exercise of an option is determined by the Board of Directors or a Committee on the date the option is granted, but in no case may an option be exercisable for less than 100% of the market value (as defined in the Plan) of the Common Stock on the date of the grant. The purchase price is payable in full in cash or by delivery of shares of Common Stock of the Company (or a combination of cash and Common Stock) when the option is exercised. The Plan provides for adjustment as to the number and kinds of shares covered by the outstanding options and the option price therefor to give effect to any stock dividend, stock split, stock combination or other reorganization of or by the Company. In the event of liquidation, dissolution, merger, sale or a corporate reorganization, the ability to exercise the options shall be -49- accelerated so that they shall become immediately exercisable just prior to the consummation of such transaction. If options expire or terminate without having been exercised in full, the unpurchased shares shall again be available for issuance under the Plan. Unless sooner terminated by the Board of Directors, no additional options may be granted after November 1, 2009. The Plan has not been qualified with the Internal Revenue Service. 10. CERTAIN TRANSACTIONS (A) Registrant has engaged in no transactions with management or others in which the amount involved exceeds $60,000 other than the following: (1) On November 11, 1997, we granted Schmid an option to purchase up to 160,000 shares of Common Stock at a purchase price ranging between $1.00 and $2.50(which was subsequently reduced to between $0.25-2.50) per share. The option period commenced on the second anniversary of the date of this Agreement and ending ten years after the second anniversary date. The Company estimates that substantially all of these options will be exercised during the contractual period. In addition, the Company granted Schmid an option to purchase an additional 160,000 shares of Common Stock at a purchase price of $5.00 per share. The option period commences on the third anniversary date of this Agreement and ends ten years after the third anniversary date. In February 2000, 160,000 options were exercised at $1.00 per share and the underlying shares are covered by this registration statement. (2) On November 3, 1999, Nexland Fla., obtained an option, including a right of first refusal, to purchase all of the issued and outstanding shares of Nexland France. The option will expire on June 30, 2000. The purchase price is to be determined by an independent valuation conducted by a French accounting firm and be mutually acceptable to both parties. Nexland France is controlled, by Israel Daniel Sultan, Andre Chouraqui, and Yves Many, all of whom are principal shareholders of our company. In consideration of the option and right of first refusal, these three individuals received a total of 1,584,000 of our common shares. (3) On November 17, 1999 we entered in a consulting agreement with Fred Schmid, our former CEO and president. The agreement provides for the following: o 15,000 common shares quarterly, payable in arrears o two year term subject to automatic renewal unless 30 day notice not to renew o consultant is to provide consulting services regarding the raising of capital and other financial matters o consultant is subject to the customary confidentiality restrictions (4) On January 18, 1999, we executed a Cooperation Agreement with Smerwick Ltd., a Hong Kong corporation located in Taiwan, in a non-arms length negotiation. Smerwick's principal owners are two of our principal shareholders, Laurent Solomon and Andre Chouraqui. Smerwick coordinates all of our manufacturing efforts, inspects our products, consolidates and organizes our -50- shipments, and handles our exports prior to leaving Taiwan. Smerwick acts as our dealer by purchasing our requirements from the manufacturer and reselling the products to us at a 3% markup. The Cooperation Agreement is cancelable on 30 days notice. (5) On September 15, 1999, we confirmed a technology sharing agreement with Nexland France, making their research and manufacturing facilities available to us. (6) On November 17, 1999, we acquired, in a reverse acquisition transaction, Nexland Fla. whose principal shareholders now own approximately 81.2% of our common shares. As a condition of the transaction, we have agreed to register approximately 300,635 shares of certain of our creditors, Fred R. Schmid and Erik Nelson. Included in these shares are 39,213 shares issued due a 5% penalty provision resulting from the late filing of this registration statement. (7) On March 14, 2000, we entered into a five year Consulting Agreement with Nexland France, which provides for the following: o $175,000 per annum consulting fee to commence when we obtain at least $1,000,000 in financing o the consulting services will be performed by Israel David Sultan, Nexland LP's founder, and one of our principal shareholders o we may terminate without cause after December 31, 2001, other than in connection with a change of control, in which case the consultant shall receive one year severance pay o should consultant be terminated, without cause, 90 days prior, or one year subsequent, to a change of control, consultant shall be entitled to twice its annual fee. "Change of control" is defined as any person or group (as defined by the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) obtaining 50% or more of our voting securities, or a restructuring of the Company. (8) As of December 31, 1999, we are obligated to one of our principal shareholders, Israel Daniel Sultan, on unsecured cash loans in the amount of $189,218.45. The loans are evidenced by demand promissory notes, which bear interest equal to the applicable federal rate, and are subject to adjustment on August 1, 2000. The notes are all payable on demand. 11. SECURITY OWNERSHIP OF PRINCIPAL SHAREHOLDERS AND MANAGEMENT The following table sets forth certain information with respect to beneficial ownership of our common stock as of March 27, 2000 as to (i) each person (or group of affiliated persons) known by us to own beneficially more than 5% of our outstanding common stock, (ii) each of our directors, (iii)each of the executive Officers, and (iv) all directors and executive officers of the company as a group. -51- For the purpose of this table, beneficial ownership is determined in accordance with the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission. The number of shares beneficially owned by a person includes shares of common stock subject to options held by that person that are currently exercisable or exercisable within 60 days of March 28, 2000. Shares issuable pursuant to such options are deemed outstanding for computing the percentage ownership of the person holding such options, but are not deemed outstanding for the purposes of computing the percentage ownership of each other person.

MARKET PRICE OF SECURITIES Our common stock is traded on the NASDAQ over-the-counter bulletin board market under the symbol "XLND." There has been trading in our common stock since December 23, 1999. The following table sets forth, for each of the fiscal periods indicated, the high and low bid prices for the common stock, as reported on the OTC Bulletin Board. These per share quotations reflect inter-dealer prices in the over-the-counter market without real mark-up, markdown, or commissions and may not necessarily represent actual transactions. QUARTER ENDING HIGH/BID LOW/BID FISCAL YEAR 1999 December 1999 $7.125 $4.00 On March 27, 2000, the closing trade price of the common stock as reported on the OTC Bulletin Board was $6.062 As of such date, there were approximately 398 holders of record of our common stock. 12.1 VOLATILITY AND FLUCTUATION OF OUR COMMON STOCK The price of our common stock and Internet and Telecommunication stock in general, is highly volatile. During the period from December 23, 1999 to March 27, 2000, the bid and ask price of our common stock has ranged from a high of $8.00 to a low of $4.00. This volatility may negatively impact the liquidity and value of your shares. The market price of our common stock could continue to fluctuate substantially due to a variety of factors, including: o The number of shares in the market at the time as well as the number of shares we may be required to issue in the future, compared to the market demand for our shares. o Our performance and whether or not we meet our projections. o General economic and market conditions. o Quarterly fluctuations in results of operations. o The commencement of or major developments in litigation. o Announcement of key developments or new products or services by competitors. o Announcement and market acceptance of acquisitions. o Changes in earnings estimates by analysts. -53- o Press coverage of favorable or unfavorable developments in our business. o Loss of key personnel. o Changes in accounting principles or policies. o Sales of common stock by existing stockholders. o Economic and political conditions The market price for our common stock may also be affected by our inability to meet analysts' expectations. Any failure to meet these expectations, even slightly, could have an adverse effect on the market price of our common stock. In addition, the market prices of securities issued by many companies may change for reasons unrelated to the operating performance of these companies. Following periods of volatility in the market price of other companies' securities, class action securities litigation has often been instituted. If similar litigation were instituted against us, it could result in substantial costs and a diversion of our management's attention and resources, which could have an adverse effect on our business. 13. DESCRIPTION OF THE SECURITIES 13.1 IN GENERAL Our articles of incorporation provide that we may issue up to 50,000,000 shares of its $0.0001 par value Common Stock and 10,000,000 shares of its $0.0001 par value Preferred Stock. Presently 34,308,916 shares of the Company's Common Stock are issued and outstanding. There are no preferred shares outstanding. In the event all of the Class A Warrants are exercised, there will be 35,850,474 shares of Common Stock outstanding and in the event all of the Class B Warrants are exercised, in additional to the Class A Warrants, there will be 37,450,474 shares of Common Stock outstanding. See "Capitalization" and "Risk Factors - Cumulative Voting, Preemptive Rights and Control." 13.2 COMMON STOCK The holders of the Company's Common Stock are entitled to one vote per share on each matter submitted to a vote at any meeting of shareholders. Shares of Common Stock do not carry cumulative voting rights and, therefore, a majority of the outstanding Common Stock will be able to elect the entire Board of Directors and, if they do so, minority shareholders would not be able to elect any members to the Board of Directors. As of January 14, 2000, we had approximately 398 shareholders of record. Holders of the common stock have no preemptive rights to acquire additional shares of Common Stock or other securities. The Common Stock is not subject to redemption or sinking fund provisions and carries no subscription or conversion rights. In the event of liquidation of the Company, the shares of Common Stock are entitled to share equally in corporate assets after satisfaction of all liabilities. The shares of Common Stock, when issued, will be fully paid and non-assessable. -54- Holders of common stock are entitled to receive such dividends as may be declared from time to time by our Board of Directors out of funds legally available. If we were to liquidate, dissolve, or wind up our affairs, holders of Common Stock would share proportionately in our assets that remain after payment of all debts and obligations and after any liquidation payments with respect to the preferred stock. There are no outstanding options, warrants, or rights to purchase shares of the Company's Common Stock, other than as disclosed in this Prospectus. 13.3 PREFERRED STOCK Our Articles of Incorporation authorize the issuance of "blank check" preferred stock. The board of directors is empowered, without stockholder approval, to designate and issue additional series of preferred stock with relative rights, preferences, designations, rates, conditions, privileges, limitations, dividend rates, conversion rights (including the right to issue convertible securities with no limitations on conversion), preemptive rights, voting rights, rights and terms of redemption, liquidation preferences and sinking terms. Any such designations and issuances, could: o Adversely affect the voting power or other rights of the holders of our common stock. o Substantially dilute the common shareholder's interest. o Depress the price of our common stock. o Be superior to the rights of holders of Common Stock. In addition the issuance of "blank check preferred stock could be utilized as an anti-takeover measures, which could have the effect of delaying, deterring, or preventing a change in control without any action by the shareholders. 13.4 DESCRIPTION OF REDEEMABLE WARRANTS The Redeemable Class A and Class B Warrants, have been issued under warrant certificates (the "Warrant Certificates") between the Company and Jersey Transfer & Trust Company, Warrant Agent (the "Warrant Agent"). The following summary of certain provisions of the Warrant Certificates does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Warrant Certificates. Each Redeemable Class A or Class B Warrant entitles the owner to purchase one share of Common Stock. The Redeemable Class A Warrants are exercisable at any time from the effective date of this offering until August 15, 2001, at an exercise price of $1.00 until June 30, 2000 and $2.50 per share thereafter. The Redeemable Class B Warrants are exercisable at any time from the effective date of this offering until August 15, 2001, at an exercise price of $5.00, collectively referred to as the "Exercise Price." At the time a Redeemable Warrant is exercised, the exercise price therefore shall be paid in full. Prior to expiration, the Redeemable Warrants may be -55- exchanged, transferred, or exercised by the Registered Warrant holder by presenting the Redeemable Warrants to the Warrant Agent. The Redeemable Class A and Class B Warrants are redeemable by the Company upon thirty (30) days written notice at the discretion of the Board of Directors, at a redemption price of $0.0025 per Warrant. The Redeemable Class A and Class B Warrants are redeemable at any time from the effective date of this offering until August 15, 2001. Upon redemption of the Redeemable Warrants, if the holder does not exercise the Redeemable Warrants, the Redeemable Warrant lose all value. Fractional shares will not be issued upon exercise of Redeemable Warrants and the Company will not make any cash or other adjustments in respect of a fraction of a share of Common Stock to which any holder might otherwise be entitled upon exercise of Redeemable Warrants. No adjustments as to previously declared or paid cash dividends, if any, will be made upon any exercise of Redeemable Warrants. The Redeemable Warrants do not confer on the holders thereof, any voting or other rights of a stockholder of the Company. The Company will have authorized and reserved for sale the stock purchasable upon exercise of the Redeemable Warrant. When delivered, such shares of stock shall be fully paid and non-assessable. The Warrant Agent will not receive a fee for soliciting the exercise of the Warrants. The Company may pay a solicitation fee to any NASD registered representative, who, after one year from the effective date of the registration statement, causes the exercise thereof prior to the expiration thereof. The Exercise Price and the number of shares issuable upon exercise of the Redeemable Warrants are subject to adjustment by the Board of Directors upon the occurrence of certain events, including the issuance of any Common Stock as a dividend or any stock split or reverse split as a dividend. Adjustments in the number of shares issuable or in the Exercise Price of both shall also be made in the event of any merger or other reorganization. The Warrant Certificates will also provide that the Company and the Warrant Agent may, without the consent of the holder of the Redeemable Warrants, make changes in the Warrant Certificates which do not adversely affect, alter or change the rights, privileges or immunities of the Registered Warrant holders of the Redeemable Warrants. 13.5 ANTI-TAKEOVER PROVISIONS OF ARIZONA LAW As an Arizona corporation, we are subject to the provisions of Section 10-2741, 10-2742 and 10-2743 of the Arizona Revised Statutes. In general, the statute prohibits a publicly held Arizona corporation from engaging in a "business combination" with an "interested stockholder" for a period of three years after the date that the person became an interested stockholder unless (with certain exceptions) the business combination or the transaction in which the person became an interested stockholder is approved in a prescribed manner. Generally, a "business combination" -56- includes a merger, asset or stock sale or other transaction resulting in a financial benefit to the stockholder, and an "interested stockholder" is a person who, together with affiliates and associates, beneficially owns (or within three years prior, did own) 10% or more of the corporation's outstanding voting stock. This provision may have the effect of delaying, deferring, or preventing a change in control of our company without further action by the stockholders. 14. SHARES ELIGIBLE FOR FUTURE SALE. 14.1 IN GENERAL In the event that no Warrants are exercised the Company will have outstanding 34,308,916 shares of Common Stock. If all Class A and Class B Warrants are exercised, there will 37,450,474 shares of Common Stock outstanding. The shares to be issued upon the exercise of the Class A and Class B Warrants are expected to be freely tradeable without restriction or further registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Act"), except for shares purchased by an existing "affiliate" of the Company, which will be subject to the limitations of Rule 144 promulgated under the Act except the one year holding period. 14.2 RESTRICTED SECURITIES Shares not covered by this or prior registration statements, are "restricted securities" as defined in Rule 144. Restricted securities may be sold in the public market only if they are registered or if they qualify for an exemption from registration under the Securities Act. In general, under Rule 144, 90 days after the date of this prospectus, a person (or persons whose shares are aggregated), including an affiliate, who has satisfied a one (1) year holding period may sell in ordinary market transactions through a broker or with a market maker, within any three (3) month period a number of shares which does not exceed the greater of one percent (1%) of the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock or the average of the weekly trading volume of the Common Stock during the four calendar weeks prior to such sale. Sales under Rule 144 require the filing of Form 144 with the Securities and Exchange Commission. If a person who is not an affiliate has held the shares of Common Stock for more than two years, there is no limitation on the manner of sale or the volume of shares that may be sold and no Form 144 is required. Sales under Rule 144 may have a depressive effect on the market price of the Company's Common Stock. 14.3 TRANSFER AGENT AND WARRANT AGENT The Transfer Agent and Warrant Agent for the Company's Common Stock, Class A Redeemable Warrants and Class B Redeemable Warrants is: Jersey Transfer & Trust Co. 201 Bloomfield Ave. Verona, NJ 07044 -57- 15.

The only statutes, charter provisions, bylaws or other arrangements under which any controlling person, Director or Officer of the Registrant is insured or indemnified in any manner against liability which he may incur in his capacity as such are set forth below. The Arizona Revised Statutes provides for indemnification where a person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or contemplated action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (other than action by or in right of a corporation), by reason of fact he is or was a Director, Officer, employee or agent of a corporation or serving another corporation at the request of the corporation, against expenses (including attorneys' fees), judgments, fines, and amounts paid in settlement, actually and reasonably incurred by him if he acted in good faith and in a manner he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interest of the corporation and, with respect to criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe his conduct unlawful. Lack of good faith is not presumed from settlement or nolo contendere plea. Indemnification of expenses (including attorneys' fees) allowed in derivative actions except in the case of misconduct in performance of duty to corporation unless the Court decides indemnification is proper. To the extent any such person succeeds on the merits or otherwise, he shall be indemnified against expenses (including -62- attorneys' fees). Determination that the person to be indemnified met applicable standards of conduct, if not made by the Court, is made by the Board of Directors by majority vote of quorum consisting of the Directors not party to such action, suit or proceeding or, if a quorum is not obtainable or a disinterested quorum so directs, by independent legal counsel or by the stockholders. Expenses may be paid in advance upon receipt of undertakings to repay unless it shall ultimately be determined that he is entitled to be indemnified by the corporation. The Corporation may purchase indemnity insurance. In so far as indemnification for liability arising from the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to Directors, Officers or persons controlling the Company, it has been informed 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. -63- ITEM 15.

[2] With respect to these shares of Common Stock issued by the Company, the Company believes that these transactions did not involve any public offering, in as much as all these shares were issued to the Company's officers, directors and others, who purchased the shares for investment purposes only and not with a view to further public distribution. Further, no advertising of any nature was made in connection with the sale of said shares, all Company information was made available to said purchasers, and said purchasers were required to execute a subscription agreement restating the -64- aforementioned, among other things.

Schmid in lieu of consulting fees due him under a April 1999 Consulting Agreement with Windstar, by the terms of the November 17, 1999 acquisition agreement between Windstar Resources, Inc. and Nexland, Inc., on the basis of $1.00 per share. [5] These shares result from the 5% penalty clause in the November 17, 1999 Acquisition Agreement between Windstar and Nexland due to the filing of this post-effective amendment after the agreed upon date. [6] These shares were issued to Fred R. Schmid as compensation pursuant to the terms of the November 17, 1999 Consulting Agreement with the Company. [7] These shares were issued to Erik Nelson pursuant to the terms of the November 17, 1999 acquisition agreement between Windstar Resources, Inc. and Nexland, Inc. as payment for a finder's fee in connection with the Nexland acquisition. [8] These shares were issued to Brent Nygaard and Summit Capital Group to retire to Company's promissory note obligation plus interest in lieu of payment, on the basis of $1.00 per share. [9] These shares were issued to Fred R. Schmid, upon the exercise of options issued to him pursuant to an November 1997 option agreement, at the exercise price of $1.00 per share. [10] These shares were issued to Baragan Mountain Mining in lieu of unpaid royalty fees plus accrued interest. [11] These 29,500,000 shares were issued to Nexland Fla. shareholders in connection with the November 17, Acquisition Agreement in exchange for all outstanding Nexland Fla. shares. The market value of the Company's common stock on the effective date of the merger was $0.3125 per share or a value of $921,875 plus liabilities of $82,551 or a total of $1,004,426. -65- ITEM 16.

ITEM 17. 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: a. To include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act of 1933; b. To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of the -67- 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 the registration statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in 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 a 20% change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the "Calculation of Registration Fee" table in the effective registration statement. c. To include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the registration statement or any material change to such information in the registration statement. 2. That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, 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. 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 a 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 shall be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
