Prior to the fiscal year ending March 31, 1999, the Company did not have a
certifying accountant. In April, 1999, the Company contacted Williams &
Webster, P.S. about acting as auditors for the Company's balance sheet as of
March 31, 1999, and the related statements of operations, stockholders' equity,
and cash flows for the year then ended. Williams & Webster has now accepted the
engagement and will serve as the Company's auditor.
ITEM 5. OTHER EVENTS
1. REINCORPORATION IN NEVADA. On March 15, pursuant to a duly noticed and
valid meeting of the shareholders of New Hilarity Mining Company, the
shareholders voted in favor of reincorporating the Company in the State of
Nevada. The reincorporation was accomplished by merging New Hilarity Mining
Company into its wholly owned subsidiary, New Hilarity, Inc., a Nevada
corporation. Following the merger, the separate existence of New Hilarity
Mining Company ceased. The successor company, New Hilarity, Inc., continues the
business of the Company and all shareholders of New Hilarity Mining Company are
now deemed to hold shares of New Hilarity, Inc. on a share for share basis. The
certificates of New Hilarity Mining Company may be exchanged for certificates of
New Hilarity, Inc. by submitting the old certificates to AST for transfer.
2. CHANGE OF NAME. In conjunction with the reincorporation of the Company in
the State of Nevada, the name of the Corporation was changed to New Hilarity,
Inc.

the Company's transfer agent and registrar, notified the Company that American

between AST and the Company continues in force following assignment to AST, and
all future stock transfer requests and questions should be directed to AST.
