the parties in writing.  The Stock is to be held in the escrow
account until released as set forth under the provisions of the
Stock Exchange Agreement.

Subsequently, the Registrant acquired the remaining 41.67% of
the stock of IE directly from the shareholders of that company
in a straight stock swap.  This entire acquisition was made in
connection with the transfer of ownership of the 777WINS.com
