ITEM 1. CHANGES IN CONTROL OF REGISTRANT.
A change in control of the registrant occurred on December 13, 1999
pursuant to the terms and conditions of a Plan and Agreement of
Reorganization (the "Agreement") dated December 13, 1999 between MAS
Acquisition XIII Corp., an Indiana corporation ("MAS") and LoanRates
Online, Inc., a Virginia corporation ("LoanRates"), which provided for the
acquisition from all of the shareholders of LoanRates all of the issued and
outstanding shares of LoanRates in return for 8,627,000 shares of the
authorized but unissued shares of MAS. LoanRates then became and operates
as a wholly owned subsidiary of MAS.
The Plan or Reorganization is within the meaning of Section 368 (a)(1)(b)
of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended.
LoanRates Online, Inc. ("LoanRates") was incorporated in the state of
Virginia in March 1997. LoanRates is a business to business Internet
service company that was formed to replace paper product data with an
economical end to end online database system for wholesale mortgage lenders
and mortgage brokers/correspondents. LoanRates has developed a system which
enables wholesale mortgage lenders to electronically transmit loan product
data via the Internet and allow registered mortgage brokers/correspondents
to find loan products quickly, lock in rates, and securely register loans
electronically. The system, which is currently operating on the Internet at
wwww.loanratesonline.com, will improve operations for lenders, brokers and
correspondents by reducing cost, time and effort, and increase productivity.
LoanRates automates the process of updating product information from lender
spreadsheets into its proprietary software, then electronically transmits
that data via the Internet. The electronic speed and computer software
accuracy of the system is far more advanced and cost effective than the
current method. With no manual data entry required after the initial set-up,
the system makes available current rates, points, caps, margins, adjustments,
terms and conditions to brokers/correspondents, who may access the data and
electronically register the loan product with the selected lender.
ITEM 2. ACQUISITION AND DISPOSITION OF ASSETS.
MAS entered into the Agreement with LoanRates on December 13, 1999,
whereby MAS has acquired from the shareholders of LoanRates all of the issued
and outstanding shares of LoanRates in return for 8,627,000 shares of the
authorized but not issued shares of MAS. MAS has subsequently changed its
name to LoanRates Online.com, Inc. (the "Company").
ITEM 3. BANKRUPTCY OR RECEIVERSHIP.
Not applicable.
ITEM 4. CHANGES IN REGISTRANT'S CERTIFYING ACCOUNTANT.
Not applicable.
ITEM 5. OTHER EVENT.
The Company has changed its fiscal year end from June 30 to December 31
because of the reorgization. The Company will file 10K-SB for the
fiscal year ended on December 31, 2000.
The Company has authorized and effected a ten for one forward split of
shares of Common Stock on December 13, 1999 for shareholders of the record
prior to the issuance of 8,627,000 shares in connection with the acquisition
of LoanRates.
ITEM 6. RESIGNATION OF REGISTRANT'S DIRECTORS.
As a result of the Agreement, the Company has accepted the resignation of
Aaron Tsai, the Company's sole Director and Officer, as of December 13, 1999,
and appointed Frederick T. Dykes as Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of
the Board of Directors and Richard J. Heiston as President, Chief Operations
Officer and Director.

We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to

significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall
financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a
reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly,
in all material respects, the financial position of LoanRates Online, Inc. (A

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Note 1. Nature of Business and Significant Accounting Policies
Nature of business:
LoanRates Online, Inc. was incorporated under the laws of the
Commonwealth of Virginia in March 1997. The company commenced
operations in April 1997. The company is a business-to-business
Internet service company serving wholesale lenders and mortgage
brokers/correspondents.
Significant accounting policies:
Method of accounting:
The financial statements are presented on the accrual basis of
accounting.
Use of estimates:
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles requires management to
make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts
of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets
and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and
reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting
period. Due to their prospective nature, actual results could
differ from those estimates.
Property and equipment:
Property and equipment is carried at cost. Depreciation is
computed using the straight-line method over three to five years.
Maintenance and repairs of property and equipment are charged to
operations and major improvements are capitalized. Upon
retirement, sale or other disposition of property and equipment,
the cost and accumulated depreciation are eliminated from the
accounts and gain or loss is included in operations.
Financing fees:
Financing fees are being amortized over the term of the loans on
the straight-line method.
Patents:
The company has filed a Provisional Patent and Utility Patent
Application with the U.S. Patent Office. The company has incurred
patent costs of $14,786 as of September 30, 1999. There is no
amortization expense as of September 30, 1999, since the
application process is not yet complete.
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 7
(A Development Stage Company)
Note 2. Development Stage Operations
The company has been developing its software products and website
since inception. In March 1999, the system went live on the
Internet and is currently being used by a highly recognized
wholesale mortgage lender, Chevy Chase Bank. No revenue has been
recognized as of September 30. 1999. The Company is continuing in
its strategy to obtain additional financing/investments to both
improve its product/service and extend its marketing capabilities.
Note 3. Software Development Costs
During the period from April 3, 1997, date of inception, to
September 30, 1999, the company incurred total software development
costs of $90,997. Of this amount $42,797 has been expensed because
it is believed that those costs will not contribute to the final
service or products. The company incurred software development
costs of $13,511, $29,342 and $48,144, during the periods ended
December 31, 1997, 1998, and 1999, respectively. Of these amounts,
$1,073, $23,468 and $18,256, respectively, were expensed during
those periods. $12,438, $18,312 and $48,200 has been capitalized
as software development costs as of December 31, 1997, December 31,
1998, and September 30, 1999, respectively. There has been no
amortization expense since no revenue has yet been generated. The
company intends to enhance its systems via reprogramming under the
Oracle database management system.
Note 4. Income Taxes
The company, with the consent of its stockholders, has elected to be
taxed as an S corporation under the sections of the federal and
state income tax laws which provide that, in lieu of corporate
income tax, the stockholders separately account for the company's
items of income, deductions, losses, and credits. Therefore, the
financial statements do not include any provision for corporate
income tax.
Note 5. Convertible Notes Payable
The company received loans from three individuals totaling $85,000.
The notes bear interest at 12 percent and were due in full on
November 7, 1999. The note holders have the option to convert the
unpaid principal amount into shares of voting common stock in the
ratio of one dollar of principal for each share of stock. The
notes had not been repaid as of December 16, 1999.
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 8
(A Development Stage Company)
Note 6. Noncash Financing and Investing Activities
In October 1998, the stockholders converted $59,000 of their
previous loan advances into additional paid-in capital
Note 7. Common Stock
The company has 25,000 authorized no par value shares of common
stock. The company has three classes of common stock at September
30, 1999. Series A, NVR stock is non-voting. Series A, LTVR stock
has voting rights for the original owner, but not for any
transferees. Series B stock has full voting rights and no
restrictions. Shares issued by class are as follows:
Series A, NVR 20
Series A, LTVR 50
Series B 956
-----
Total stock shares issued and outstanding 1,026
=====
Note 8. Subsequent Financing and Investing Agreements
Investing Agreement
-------------------
The company has an agreement with Castle Capital Partners, LLC (CCP),
a management consulting firm, in order to assist the company in its
efforts to obtain $3 million in capital and become a publicly traded
company. In exchange for its services, CCP would receive the
following: 1) 600,000 free trading shares; 2) 99,000 restricted
shares; 3) 400,000 free-trading shares; 4) $500,000 cash less

for $3 million in capital raised. The agreement would be in effect
for three years. There may be a $250,000 termination fee due upon
early termination.

-------------------------
Subsequent to September 30, 1999, the company accepted additional
convertible loans from other parties with loan terms similar to
those disclosed in note 5 of the financial statements. Loan terms
are 180 days and include stock conversion options. The total amount
subsequently borrowed was $169,200, including the conversion of an
