THE DATE OF THIS PROSPECTUS IS _______, 2001 1 PROSPECTUS SUMMARY This summary highlights information found in greater detail elsewhere in this prospectus. This summary is not complete and does not contain all of the information you should consider before investing in our common stock. You should read the entire prospectus carefully, including the "Risk Factors." ABOUT OUR COMPANY We were incorporated in Nevada on August 26, 1986 as P.R. Stocks, Inc. Since that time, we have had three name changes and been the surviving corporation in one merger: - On February 26, 1992, we changed our name to National Health & Safety Corporation; - On November 12, 1992, we changed our name to Medgain International Corporation; - On June 20, 1994, we changed our name to E-Rex, Inc.; and - On February 20, 1999, we merged with Plantech Communications Systems, Inc., a British Columbia, Canada corporation. Plantech was a development stage company in the software, computer, and Internet business that had no revenues. We are a development stage company with an $11,422,153 accumulated deficit as of December 31, 2000. We do not have any significant operating history or revenues, and our independent accountant has qualified his report, noting that our significant losses raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue in business. Our primary product is the Dragonfly, a portable, multi-function color printer, copier, fax and scanner with Internet and e-mail capabilities. We are presently completing the initial prototypes of the Dragonfly. We are not currently generating any revenues from the sale of the Dragonfly product, and do not expect to generate any revenues from it during this fiscal year. We currently generate a limited amount of income from our Internet consulting business, which is not our primary business. Our executive offices are located at 11645 Biscayne Boulevard, Suite 210, Miami, Florida 33181. Our telephone number is (305) 895-3350 and our website address is www.e-rex.net. Information contained on our website or on any other website does not constitute a part of this prospectus. ABOUT OUR INVESTMENT AGREEMENT WITH SWARTZ We have entered into an investment agreement with Swartz Private Equity, LLC to raise up to $15 million through a series of sales of our common stock. The dollar amount of each sale is limited by our common stock's price, trading volume, and a minimum period of time that must elapse between each sale. Each sale will be to Swartz. In turn, Swartz will either hold our stock in its own portfolio, sell our stock in the open market, or place our stock through negotiated transactions with other investors. This prospectus covers the resale of our stock by Swartz either in the open market or to other investors. The investment agreement provides, in summary: 2 - from time to time at our request, Swartz will purchase from us that number of shares of our common stock equal to 15% of the number of shares traded in the market in the 20 business days immediately before the date of the requested purchase, excluding certain block trades, or 15% of the number of shares traded in the 20 business days preceding the date of our advance notice of our put right, excluding certain block trades, whichever is less; - the purchase price per share is the lesser of 91% of the lowest closing bid price per share during the 20 Business days after our request, or that closing bid price minus $0.075, but in no event will the purchase price be less than the minimum price we select in our sole discretion; - Swartz will not be required to purchase at any one time shares having a value in excess of $2,000,000; - we may make additional requests at intervals of approximately 30 days; - as a commitment fee, we granted to Swartz commitment warrants to purchase 2,700,000 shares of our common stock, which warrants can be exercised at $0.041 per share (subject to potential future adjustment) through September 22, 2007. - the commitment warrants exercise price is reset to the lowest closing price of our common stock during the five trading days ending on the six month anniversary of the warrant issuance date, if the lowest price is lower than the then-current exercise price; - Swartz can only exercise its commitment warrants to the extent that, after exercise, Swartz does not own more than 4.99% of our outstanding shares; - the commitment warrants are subject to antidilution provisions, in the case of stock splits. Our agreement with Swartz is not a convertible debenture, convertible preferred stock, or similar type of investment instrument. In addition, we are not borrowing from Swartz as with a conventional cash line of credit. Rather, subject to the limitations set forth above, our agreement with Swartz permits us to decide, in our sole discretion (subject to penalties for non-use), whether and the extent to which we wish to require that Swartz purchase our stock. Until our registration statement is declared effective, we have no plans to sell shares to Swartz, and we are currently in compliance with the terms of the investment agreement. 3 THE OFFERING Common stock outstanding prior to this offering 32,296,890 shares (1) Common stock offered for resale to the public 32,700,000 shares (2) Common stock outstanding after this offering 64,996,890 shares Percentage of common stock outstanding after this offering represented by shares offered for resale to the public 50.3% (1) Does not include 2,700,000 shares underlying commitment warrants issued to Swartz. (2) Includes up to 30,000,000 shares that may be issued to Swartz pursuant to the Investment Agreement, and 2,700,000 shares underlying commitment warrants issued to Swartz. 4 RISK FACTORS Any investment in our common stock involves a high degree of risk. You should consider carefully the following information, together with the other information contained in this prospectus, before you decide to buy our common stock. If any of the following events actually occurs, our business, financial condition or results of operations would likely suffer. In this case, the market price, if any, of our common stock could decline, and you could lose all or part of your investment in our common stock. We have a history of operating losses and limited product revenues, we expect these losses to continue, and we may never become profitable. We have a limited operating history upon which potential investors may evaluate our performance. To date, we have generated an accumulated deficit of more than $11,472,153. For the years ended December 31, 2000 and 1999, we incurred net losses of $8,042,853 and $464,436, respectively, and for the six months ended June 30, 2001, our net loss was $1,912,721. We expect that our operating expenses will increase over the next few years as we continue to develop and market our Dragonfly product, and as a result we expect losses to continue. In addition, our future operations may not be profitable. We must consider the likelihood of our success relative to the problems, difficulties, complications, and delays frequently encountered in connection with the development and operation of a new business. If we do not obtain adequate financing to fund our future operations and to complete development of our Dragonfly product, we may not be able to successfully implement our business plan. We do not yet have a prototype of our Dragonfly product, and as a result we have not generated any revenues from the sale of the Dragonfly, and do not expect to during this fiscal year. We have funded a large portion of our operations through the issuance of stock to employees and consultants, and unless we are successful in obtaining financing through our investment agreement with Swartz, we will continue to do so. If we do not obtain adequate financing, we cannot continue the development of our Dragonfly product. If we are successful in obtaining financing from Swartz, we estimate that our net proceeds from this offering will satisfy our capital requirements for at least the next 24 months. Although it is difficult to estimate the amount of additional financing we will require, we anticipate that over the next two years we will need approximately $300,000 to complete the development of the Dragonfly, $2,500,000 for marketing and sales expenses, and $3,200,000 for general working capital expenses. We anticipate that our cash requirements for the next two years may need to come primarily from the proceeds of the investment agreement with Swartz. However, our ability to raise funds under the investment agreement is subject to certain conditions. These conditions include the continuing effectiveness of a registration statement covering the resale of the shares sold under agreement, and a limitation on the number of shares we may issue based on the volume of trading in our common stock. If we are not able to satisfy these conditions, we will not be able to implement our business plan. We have not generated any revenues from our Dragonfly product and do not expect to be profitable for several more years. For the year ended December 31, 2000, we generated a total of $7,524 in revenues, all of which was consulting fees related to our Internet consulting division. For the six months ended June 30, 2000, our consulting division generated $37,038 in revenues, representing all of our revenues for the period. We do not expect to generate any revenues from our Dragonfly product this fiscal year, and when we do begin to generate revenues from the product, we do not expect to be profitable for several years, if at all. 5 If our primary product, the Dragonfly, does not obtain widespread market acceptance, our sales and profitability will suffer. We are relying on the success of one primary product, the Dragonfly. If this product is not widely accepted by the marketplace, we may not generate sufficient revenues to sustain operations, and may not be profitable. We do not have a patent on our product, and as a result it may be duplicated by a competitor. We have conducted a patent study on the hardware and operating system of the Dragonfly, and have determined that it is unlikely that some or all of the product may be able to be protected by patents. Although the operating system, circuit boards, control systems, and Internet interface are proprietary to E-Rex, we cannot be certain that others will not independently develop or market substantially similar products in competition with the Dragonfly. There is intense competition for our product from substantially larger and more established companies, which may make it impossible for us to compete. We believe that no other company manufacturers a product exactly like the Dragonfly. If released, the Dragonfly will compete with other portable devices from well-known companies such as Hewlett-Packard, Cannon, Brother, Docuport, Palm, and Xerox. Although our management believes that our product is superior in functionality, those companies, as well as future competitors, have substantially more financial and technical resources than us and have established a reputation in the industry. As a result of intense competition from larger, well-known and well-financed companies, we may not be able to successfully market our product. We have limited personnel and we must attract and retain qualified employees to succeed in our business plan. We currently have only three employees. In order to finish the development of our Dragonfly, and market it, we need to recruit and retain professional and technical staff. Unless we are successful in obtaining the financing in this offering, we will not have the resources to attract the necessary personnel, and we will not be successful in implementing our business plan. Our auditors have expressed substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern, which ability is dependent on the net proceeds of this offering. Our auditors, in their independent auditors' report, have expressed substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern based on significant operating losses we have incurred since inception. Our financial statements include an accumulated deficit of $11,422,153 as of December 31, 2000 and other indications of weakness in our present financial position. Without the net proceeds from this offering, our ability to remain in business will be in jeopardy. 6 The substantial number of shares of our common stock that are eligible for future sale in the public market could adversely affect prevailing market prices of our common stock or limit our ability to raise additional capital. Future sales of substantial amounts of our common stock in the public market, or the perception that these sales might occur, could adversely affect the prevailing market price of our common stock or limit our ability to raise additional capital. We currently have 32,296,890 shares of our common stock issued and outstanding, and over 11,838,000 shares of our common stock are reserved for issuance upon the exercise of outstanding options and warrants. Upon effectiveness of the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part, we may issue up to an additional 30,000,000 shares of common stock, representing an increase of over 92% in the issued and outstanding shares. Our stock price will fluctuate after this offering, which could result in substantial losses for investors. The market price for our common stock may fluctuate significantly in response to a number of factors, some of which are beyond our control. These factors include: - Quarterly variations in operating results; - Changes in financial estimates by securities analysts; - Announcements by us or our competitors of new products, significant contracts, acquisitions or strategic relationships; - Disputes concerning our technology proprietary rights; - Publicity about our company, management, products or our competitors; - Additions or departures of key personnel; - Any future sales of our common stock or other securities; and - Stock market price and volume fluctuations of publicly-traded companies. These and other external factors have caused and may continue to cause the market price and demand for our common stock to fluctuate substantially, which may limit or prevent investors from readily selling their shares of common stock and may otherwise negatively affect the liquidity of our common stock. In the past, securities class action litigation has often been brought against companies following periods of volatility in the market price of their securities. If securities class action litigation is brought against us it could result in substantial costs and a diversion of our management's attention and resources, which could hurt our business. The exercise of our put rights may lower the market price of our common stock and substantially dilute the interests of other holders of our common stock. As we exercise our put rights, we will be required to issue shares of our common stock to Swartz at a price below the prevailing market price of our common stock. The shares issuable to Swartz upon exercise of our put rights will be issued at a price equal to the lesser of (a) the market price for our common stock minus $0.075 or (b) 91% of the market price for our common stock. Accordingly, we will issue the shares issuable to Swartz upon exercise of our put rights at a rate that will be below the market price of our common stock. 7 The sale of material amounts of our common stock could reduce the price of our common stock and encourage short sales. As we sell shares of our common stock to Swartz pursuant to our put rights and if, and to the extent that Swartz sells our common stock, our common stock price may decrease due to the additional shares in the market. As the price of our common stock decreases, and if we decide to exercise our right to put shares to Swartz, we will be required to issue more shares of our common stock upon exercise of our put rights for any given dollar amount invested by Swartz, subject to a designated minimum put price specified by us and a minimum designated number of shares to be purchased. This may encourage short sales, which could place further downward pressure on the price of our common stock. The exercise of our put rights may substantially dilute the interests of other holders. The shares of our common stock issuable upon exercise of our put rights will be available for sale immediately upon issuance. Accordingly, subject to (a) any designated minimum put price we may specify, (b) any minimum number of shares which we choose to put and (c) any volume limitations, as further described under "Selling Shareholders," the exercise of our put rights may result in substantial dilution to the interests of the other holders of our common stock and the price of our common stock may decrease which would entitle the selling shareholder to receive a greater number of shares of our common stock upon exercise of our put rights. The exercise of outstanding options and warrants may adversely affect our stock price and your percentage ownership. There are currently outstanding options and warrants to purchase at least 11,838,000 shares of our common stock, (including the 2,700,000 warrants already issued to Swartz in connection with the investment agreement). In the future, we may grant more warrants or options under stock option plans or otherwise. The exercise of stock options and warrants that are presently outstanding or may be issued in the future will dilute the percentage ownership of our other shareholders. Because we are subject to the "penny stock" rules, the level of trading activity in our stock may be reduced. Our common stock is traded on the OTC Electronic Bulletin Board. Broker-dealer practices in connection with transactions in "penny stocks" are regulated by certain penny stock rules adopted by the Securities and Exchange Commission. Penny stocks, like shares of our common stock, generally are equity securities with a price of less than $5.00, other than securities registered on certain national securities exchanges or quoted on Nasdaq. The penny stock rules require a broker-dealer, prior to a transaction in a penny stock not otherwise exempt from the rules, to deliver a standardized risk disclosure document that provides information about penny stocks and the nature and level of risks in the penny stock market. The broker-dealer also must provide the customer with current bid and offer quotations for the penny stock, the compensation of the broker-dealer and its salesperson in the transaction, and, if the broker-dealer is the sole market maker, the broker-dealer must disclose this fact and the broker-dealer's presumed control over the market, and monthly account statements showing the market value of each penny stock held in the customer's account. In addition, broker-dealers who sell these securities to persons other than established customers and "accredited investors" must make a special written determination that the penny stock is a suitable investment for the purchaser and receive the purchaser's written agreement to the transaction. Consequently, these requirements may have the effect of reducing the level of trading activity, if any, in the secondary market for a security subject to the penny stock rules, and investors in our common stock may find it difficult to sell their shares. 8 Forward Looking Statements. Except for historical information, the discussion in this registration statement contains some forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. These statements may refer to our future plans, objectives, expectations and intentions. These statements may be identified by the use of the words such as "expect," "anticipate," "believe," "intend," "plan" and similar expressions. Our actual results could differ materially from those anticipated in such forward-looking statements. 9 USE OF PROCEEDS We will not receive any proceeds from the resale of our common stock by the selling shareholders. We may, however, receive proceeds from the sale of our common stock to Swartz pursuant to the Investment Agreement and, if exercised, we will receive proceeds from the sale of shares to Swartz upon their exercise of warrants. If all shares of common stock in this offering to Swartz are sold, and the warrants are exercised, we estimate that we will receive net proceeds of approximately $15,110,700. We intend to use the net proceeds from this offering as follows: Offering Costs $ 214,250 Completion of Dragonfly Prototype $ 300,000 Payment of Accounts Payable $ 800,000 Marketing and Advertising $ 6,000,000 Research and Development $ 2,775,000 Other Working Capital Requirements $ 5,021,450 Total $15,110,700 ----------- Pending the use of any proceeds as discussed above, we intend to invest these funds in short term, interest bearing, investment-grade obligations. 10 SELLING SECURITY HOLDERS The following table sets forth certain information as of the date of this prospectus, with respect to Swartz and the other selling shareholders for whom we are registering shares for resale to the public. Swartz and the other selling shareholders propose selling all of their shares, in which case each would beneficially own no shares after the offering. Except as set forth below, none of the selling shareholders currently is an affiliate of ours, and none of them has had a material relationship with us during the past three years. None of the selling shareholders are or were affiliated with registered broker-dealers. An asterisk indicates that their common stock ownership is less than one percent.

(2) Represents up to 30,000,000 shares of our common stock that we may sell to Swartz pursuant to the Investment Agreement and 2,700,000 shares of our common stock that we may issued to Swartz upon their exercise of warrants. It is expected that Swartz will not own beneficially more than 9.9% of our outstanding common stock at any time. The Manager of Swartz is Eric S. Swartz. Swartz Investment Agreement On December 22, 2000, we entered into an Investment Agreement with Swartz, on March 3, 2001 we entered into an Amended and Restated Investment Agreement with Swartz, and on September 27, 2001 we entered into a Second Amended and Restated Investment Agreement with Swartz. The investment agreement entitles us to issue and sell our common stock to Swartz for up to an aggregate of $15 million from time to time during a three-year period beginning on the date that this registration statement is declared effective. Each election by us to sell stock to Swartz is referred to as a put right. Put Rights. In order to invoke a put right, we must have an effective registration statement on file with the SEC registering the resale of shares of our common stock that may be issued as a consequence of the exercise of our put right. We must also give at least ten but no more than 20 business days advance notice to Swartz of the date on which we intend to exercise a particular put right and we must indicate the maximum number of shares of our common stock that we intend to sell to Swartz. At our option, we may also designate a maximum dollar amount of our common stock (not to exceed $2 million) that we will sell under the put and/or a minimum purchase price per common share at which Swartz may purchase shares under the put. The number of shares of our common stock sold to Swartz in a put may not exceed the lesser of 11 - 1.5 million shares; - 15% of the aggregate daily reported trading volume of our common stock, excluding certain block trades of our common stock, during the 20 business days after the date of our put notice, excluding any trading days in which the common stock trades below a minimum price, if any, that we specify in our put notice; - 15% of the aggregate daily reported trading volume of our common stock during the 20 business days before the put date, excluding certain block trades; or - a number of shares that, when added to the current number of shares acquired by Swartz under the investment agreement during the 61 days preceding the put date, would exceed 9.99% of the total number of shares of our common stock outstanding. For each share of our common stock, Swartz will pay us the lesser of: - The market price for such share, minus $0.075; or - 91% of the market price for the shares; provided, however, that Swartz may not pay us less than the designated minimum per share price, if any, that we indicate in our notice. We estimate that we will make no more than twelve puts per year to Swartz. We estimate that we will put to Swartz up to a total of 30,000,000 shares of our common stock over the next three years, subject to restrictions based upon trading volume. Market price is defined as the lowest closing bid price for our common stock on its principal market during the pricing period. The pricing period is defined as the 20 business days immediately following the date we exercise the put right. The following is an example of the calculation of a put we would issue to Swartz in connection with that put based on hypothetical assumptions: Sample drawdown amount calculation: For purposes of this example, suppose for our first put we provide a put notice to Swartz, and that we set the threshold price at $0.20 per share, below which we will not sell any shares to Swartz during this purchase period. Suppose further that the total daily trading volume for the 20 trading days immediately preceding the put date is 3,000,000 shares with no block trades exceeding 20,000 or more shares. Under these hypothetical numbers, the maximum amount of shares that could be sold to Swartz is as follows: - the total trading volume for the 20 days prior to our put notice (3,000,000 shares) multiplied by 15% equals 450,000 If the total daily trading volume for the 20 trading days during the actual purchase period was greater than 3,000,000 (like our example that follows) then the maximum amount of shares that could be sold will be 450,000. Sample calculation of number of shares: For example, for the first trading day in the example in the table below, the calculation is as follows: multiply 15% times the total shares traded (500,000) to get 75,000 shares. Perform this calculation for each of the 20 trading days during the purchase period, excluding any days on which daily trading price traded below the $0.20 threshold price set by us. In the table below there are no days which must be excluded. 12 Closing Bid Total Number of Trading Day Price ($) (1) Shares Traded Shares Sold ----------- ------------- ------------- ----------- 1 . . . . . 0.25 500,000 75,000 ----------- ------------- ------------- ----------- 2 . . . . . 0.25 213,000 31,950 3 . . . . . 0.27 276,000 41,400 4 . . . . . 0.27 145,000 21,750 5 . . . . . 0.25 180,000 27,000 6 . . . . . 0.22 399,000 59,850 7 . . . . . 0.25 120,000 18,000 8 . . . . . 0.22 55,000 8,250 9 . . . . . 0.22 129,000 19,350 10. . . . . 0.23 72,000 10,800 11. . . . . 0.28 9,000 1,350 12. . . . . 0.28 2,000 300 13. . . . . 0.25 51,000 7,650 14. . . . . 0.27 11,000 1,650 15. . . . . 0.27 24,000 3,600 16. . . . . 0.25 48,000 7,200 17. . . . . 0.27 343,000 51,450 18. . . . . 0.28 412,000 61,800 19. . . . . 0.30 25,000 3,750 20. . . . . 0.30 85,000 12,750 Totals: 3,099,000 464,850 ------------- ----------- (1) The share prices are illustrative only and should not be interpreted as a forecast of share prices or the expected or historical volatility of the share prices of our common stock. The total number of shares that we would issue to Swartz for this put would be 450,000 shares, which was previously calculated as the maximum of shares that could have been sold based on multiplying 15% by the total trading volume for the 20 trading days prior to the put date (even though 15% multiplied by the total shares traded during the purchase period equals 464,850). Swartz will purchase the shares at a purchase price equal to the lesser of: the market price for the applicable pricing period (market price is defined as the lowest closing bid price during the pricing period) minus $0.075 or 91% of the market price. In this case Swartz would pay $.145 per share for 450,000 shares equaling $65,250. There is no placement agent involved in this transaction to receive any other fees. We are registering 30,000,000 shares to be sold to Swartz in puts. Therefore, in order for the Company to receive $15,000,000, the average sale price of these shares would need to be $.50. Unless our share price increases drastically, we will need to register additional shares in order to access the $15,000,000 maximum. Limitation and Conditions Precedent to Our Put Rights. We may not initiate a put if, as of the proposed date of such put: - we have issued shares of our common stock that have been paid for by Swartz and is equal to the maximum offering amount; - the registration statement covering the resale of the shares becomes ineffective or unavailable for use; - our common stock is not actively trading on the OTC Bulletin Board, the Nasdaq Small Cap Market, the Nasdaq National Market, the American Stock Exchange, or the New York Stock Exchange, or is suspended or delisted with respect to the trading on such market or exchange. 13 If any of the following events occur during the pricing period for a put, the volume accrual shall cease. For the put, the pricing period shall be adjusted to end 10 business days after the date that we notify Swartz of the event, and any minimum price per share we specified shall not apply to the put if: - we have announced or implemented a stock split or combination of our common stock between the advanced put notice date and the end of the pricing period; - we have paid a common stock dividend or made any other distribution of our common stock between the advanced put notice date and the end of the pricing period; - we have made a distribution to the holders of our common stock or of all or any portion of our assets or evidences of indebtedness between the put notice date and the end of the pricing period; - we have consummated a major transaction (including a transaction which constitutes a change of control) between the advance put notice date and the end of the pricing period, the registration statement covering the resale of the shares becomes ineffective or unavailable for use, or our stock becomes delisted for trading on our then primary exchange; or - we discover the existence of facts that cause us to believe that the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part contains an untrue statement or omits to state a material fact. Short Sales. Swartz and its affiliates are prohibited from engaging in short sales of our common stock unless Swartz has received a put notice under which shares have not yet been issued and the amount of shares involved in the short sale does not exceed the number of shares specified in the put notice. Cancellation of Puts. We must cancel a particular put between the date of the advance put notice and the last day of the pricing period if: - We discover an undisclosed material fact which would cause the registration statement not to be current and effective until the registration statement was amended or supplemented to incorporate such fact; - The registration statement registering the resale of our common stock becomes ineffective; or - Our common stock is de-listed from the then-primary exchange. Shareholder Approval. Under the investment agreement, we may sell Swartz a number of shares that is more than 20% of our shares outstanding on the date of this prospectus. If we become listed on the NASDAQ Small Cap Market or NASDAQ National Market, we may be required to obtain shareholder approval to issue some or all of the shares to Swartz. As our common stock is currently traded on the OTC Bulletin Board, we do not need shareholder approval. 14 Termination of Investment Agreement. We may terminate our right to initiate further puts or terminate the investment agreement at any time by providing Swartz with notice of such intention to terminate; however, any such termination will not affect any other rights or obligations we have concerning the investment agreement, the Commitment Warrants, or any related agreement. Commitment and Termination Fees If we do not put at least $1,000,000 worth of common stock to Swartz during each six month period following the effective date of the Swartz investment agreement, we must pay Swartz a semi-annual non-usage fee. This fee equals the difference between $100,000 and 10% of the value of the shares of common stock we put to Swartz during the six month period. If the Swartz investment agreement is terminated, we must pay Swartz the greater of (i) the non-usage fee described above, or (ii) the difference between $200,000 and 10% of the value of the shares of common stock put to Swartz during all puts to date. Restrictive Covenants. During the term of the investment agreement and for a period of sixty days after the investment agreement is terminated, we are prohibited from engaging in certain transactions. These include the issuance of any equity securities, or debt securities convertible into equity securities, in an amount exceeding $3,000,000 in a private transaction without the prior written approval of Swartz. We are also prohibited from entering into any private equity line-type agreements similar to the investment agreement without obtaining Swartz's prior written approval. Right of First Refusal. Swartz has a right of first refusal to participate in any private capital raising transaction of equity securities that closes on or prior to sixty days after the termination of the investment agreement. Swartz's Right of Indemnification. We have agreed to indemnify Swartz (including its stockholders, officers, directors, employees, investors and agents) from all liability and losses resulting from any misrepresentations or breaches we make in connection with the investment agreement, our registration rights agreement, other related agreements, or the registration statement. 15 PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION Each selling shareholder is free to offer and sell his or her shares of our common stock at such times, in such manner and at such prices as he or she may determine. The types of transactions in which the shares of our common stock are sold may include transactions in the over-the-counter market (including block transactions), negotiated transactions, the settlement of short sales of our common stock, or a combination of such methods of sale. The sales will be at market prices prevailing at the time of sale or at negotiated prices. Such transactions may or may not involve brokers or dealers. The selling shareholders have advised us that they have not entered into agreements, understandings or arrangements with any underwriters or broker-dealers regarding the sale of their shares. The selling shareholders do not have an underwriter or coordinating broker acting in connection with the proposed sale of our common stock. The selling shareholders may sell their shares directly to purchasers or to or through broker-dealers, which may act as agents or principals. These broker-dealers may receive compensation in the form of discounts, concessions or commissions from the selling shareholders. They may also receive compensation from the purchasers of our common stock for whom such broker-dealers may act as agents or to whom they sell as principal, or both (which compensation as to a particular broker-dealer might be in excess of customary commissions). Swartz is, and each remaining selling shareholder and any broker-dealer that assists in the sale of our common stock may be deemed to be, an "underwriter" within the meaning of Section 2(a)(11) of the Securities Act of 1933. Any commissions received by such broker-dealers and any profit on the resale of the shares of our common stock sold by them while acting as principals might be deemed to be underwriting discounts or commissions. The selling shareholders may agree to indemnify broker-dealers for transactions involving sales of our common stock against certain liabilities, including liabilities arising under the Securities Act. Because Swartz is, and each remaining selling shareholder may be deemed to be, an underwriter within the meaning of Section 2(a)(11) of the Securities Act, the selling shareholders will be subject to prospectus delivery requirements. We have informed Swartz that the anti-manipulation rules of the SEC, including Regulation M promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, will apply to its sales in the market, and we have informed the other selling shareholders that these anti-manipulation rules may apply to their sales in the market. We have provided all of the selling shareholders with a copy of such rules and regulations. Regulation M may limit the timing of purchases and sales of any of the shares of our common stock by the selling shareholders and any other person distributing our common stock. The anti-manipulation rules under the Securities Exchange Act may apply to sales of shares of our common stock in the market and to the activities of the selling shareholders and their affiliates. Furthermore, Regulation M of the Securities Exchange Act may restrict the ability of any person engaged in the distribution of shares of our common stock to engage in market-making activities with respect to the particular shares of common stock being distributed for a period of up to five business days prior to the commencement of such distribution. All of the foregoing may affect the marketability of our common stock and the ability of any person or entity to engage in market-making activities with respect to our common stock. Rules 101 and 102 of Regulation M under the Securities Exchange Act, among other things, generally prohibit certain participants in a distribution from bidding for or purchasing for an account in which the participant has a beneficial interest, any of the securities that are the subject of the distribution. Rule 104 of Regulation M governs bids and purchases made to stabilize the price of a security in connection with a distribution of the security. 16 The selling shareholders, other than Swartz, also may resell all, or a portion, of the common shares in open market transactions in reliance upon Rule 144 under the Securities Act, provided they meet the criteria and conform to the requirements of such Rule. Swartz may not rely upon Rule 144 since Swartz is an underwriter within the meaning of Section 2(a)(11) of the Securities Act and the safe-harbor provided by Rule 144 is not available to underwriters of our common stock. Swartz and the other selling stockholders will pay all commissions, transfer taxes and other expenses associated with their sales. The shares offered hereby are being registered pursuant to our contractual obligations, and we have agreed to pay the expenses of the preparation of this prospectus.

As of October 24, 2001, there are 32,296,890 shares of our common stock issued and outstanding. We are not authorized to issue preferred stock. COMMON STOCK. Each shareholder of our common stock is entitled to a pro rata share of cash distributions made to shareholders, including dividend payments. The holders of our common stock are entitled to one vote for each share of record on all matters to be voted on by shareholders. There is no cumulative voting with respect to the election of our directors or any other matter. Therefore, the holders of more than 50% of the shares voted for the election of those directors can elect all of the directors. The holders of our common stock are entitled to receive dividends when and if declared by our Board of Directors from funds legally available therefore. Cash dividends are at the sole discretion of our Board of Directors. In the event of our liquidation, dissolution or winding up, the holders of common stock are entitled to share ratably in all assets remaining available for distribution to them after payment of our liabilities and after provision has been made for each class of stock, if any, having any preference in relation to our common stock. Holders of shares of our common stock have no conversion, preemptive or other subscription rights, and there are no redemption provisions applicable to our common stock. DIVIDEND POLICY. We have never declared or paid a cash dividend on our capital stock. We do not expect to pay cash dividends on our common stock in the foreseeable future. We currently intend to retain our earnings, if any, for use in our business. Any dividends declared in the future will be at the discretion of our Board of Directors and subject to any restrictions that may be imposed by our lenders. STOCK OPTION PLAN. On July 9, 2001, our directors approved the E-Rex, Inc. 2001 Stock Option Plan, effective July 9, 2001. The plan offers selected employees, directors, and consultants an opportunity to acquire our common stock, and serves to encourage such persons to remain employed by us and to attract new employees. The plan allows for the award of stock and options, up to 2,500,000 shares of our common stock. We have not issued any options or stock awards under the plan. The plan was not approved by our shareholders at the last annual shareholders meeting, and as a result no awards will be made under the plan. TRANSFER AGENT. The transfer agent for our common stock is Nevada Agency & Trust Company, 50 West Liberty, Suite 880, Reno, Nevada 89501, telephone number (775) 322-0626.

As of October 24, 2001, Mr. Lebrecht is the owner of 425,000 shares of our common stock, as well as a warrant to acquire up to $20,000 worth of our common stock at a price equal to 50% of the stock's market value. 21 DISCLOSURE OF COMMISSION POSITION ON INDEMNIFICATION FOR SECURITIES ACT LIABILITIES Article XI of our Bylaws provides that, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the Corporation shall indemnify and hold harmless its directors and officers for reasonable damages suffered by him in connection with his relationship with the Corporation. In addition, the Corporation shall have the power to buy, at this Corporation's expense, policies of insurance. Our Articles of Incorporation do not further address indemnification, and there are no resolutions of our shareholders or directors which address indemnification. Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 (the "Act") may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the small business issuer pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the small business issuer 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. 22 DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS ABOUT OUR COMPANY We were incorporated in Nevada on August 26, 1986 as P.R. Stocks, Inc. Since that time, we have had three name changes and been the surviving corporation in one merger: - On February 26, 1992, we changed our name to National Health & Safety Corporation; - On November 12, 1992, we changed our name to Medgain International Corporation; - On June 20, 1994, we changed our name to E-Rex, Inc.; and - On February 20, 1999, we merged with Plantech Communications Systems, Inc., a British Columbia, Canada corporation. Plantech was a development stage company in the software, computer, and Internet business that had no revenues. In January 2000, our management believed that our financial condition had deteriorated to the point where it was going to discontinue operations. In an attempt to salvage the value of the technology, management entered into an agreement with International Investment Banking, Inc. (IIBI) whereby IIBI would provide consulting services, introduce management personnel to us, and assist us in raising necessary capital. In January 2000, our founder, Dr. Bauer, resigned and was replaced with our current management. We are a development stage company with an $11,422,153 accumulated deficit as of December 31, 2000. We do not have any significant operating history or revenues, and our independent accountant has qualified his report, noting that our significant losses raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue in business. Our primary product is the Dragonfly, a portable, multi-function color printer, copier, fax and scanner with Internet and e-mail capabilities. We are presently completing the initial prototypes of the Dragonfly. We are not currently generating any revenues from the sale of the Dragonfly product, and do not expect to generate any revenues from it during this fiscal year. We currently generate a limited amount of income from our Internet consulting business, which is not our primary business. Our executive offices are located at 11645 Biscayne Boulevard, Suite 210, Miami, Florida 33181. Our telephone number is (305) 895-3350 and our website address is www.e-rex.net. Information contained on our website or on any other website does not constitute a part of this prospectus. OUR PRIMARY PRODUCT We intend to market the Dragonfly, a portable, multi-function color printer, copier, fax and scanner with Internet and e-mail capabilities. The Dragonfly incorporates Microsoft's Windows CE operating system which supports a variety of connectivity options, ranging from satellite uplink to ordinary and cellular modems and Ethernet networks. Pricing of this product has not yet been determined. 23 We are presently completing the initial prototype of the Dragonfly, but do not have the necessary capital to do so. It is anticipated that following completion of the prototype, production could begin within six months of obtaining the necessary capital and/or entering into a relationship with a third party for manufacturing. We have not entered into any agreements for the manufacture of the Dragonfly. We anticipate that as soon as the initial prototypes are fully operational, demonstrations with potential manufacturers can be arranged. The Dragonfly is designed so that is can be integrated with other information appliances and computers including digital cameras, photo-printers and network servers. When bundled with these items, the unit provides a complete solution for the small, home or mobile office market. The Dragonfly operating system can be enhanced with related products designed by third parties. For example, a software enhancement for drawing and handwriting could permit stored documents to be annotated on-screen using a pen. These would appeal to students, and homemakers. The addition of a card reader could permit the unit to act as a point of sale terminal that manages purchases in a portable kiosk. This would appeal to artists and others at weekend craft festivals, etc. We have not entered into any agreements or discussion with third parties regarding the design or production of any related products. MARKETING AND SALES We anticipate that the Dragonfly will be most desirable to current laptop users that require access to several communication mechanisms in a mobile environment, and will purchase the unit for its portability, ease of use, convenience, and power. We also anticipate that the Dragonfly will be attractive to current non-computer users who, once they decide to purchase a computer, will want an all-in-one piece of equipment rather than several difference products. Finally, we anticipate that older users who desire a range of functions without the necessity and complication of using a fully functional computer will be potential users of the Dragonfly. We have not yet developed our marketing plan. We anticipate that we will initially sell the Dragonfly in the United States and Canada, and over the Internet. We anticipate that the product will be offered directly by us, and through electronics distributors and marketing representatives. After initial sales begin in the United States and Canada, we anticipate expanding sales worldwide within a year. MANUFACTURING The Dragonfly uses products commonly manufactured by Intel, Microsoft, Fujitsu and Cannon, among others. We do not intend to establish our own manufacturing plant, but instead intends to contract with third party manufacturers. We do not have any agreements, and have not entered into discussions, with any potential manufacturers. RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT Our Dragonfly product was originally created by Plantech, and we acquired all of the rights to the product and its technology when we acquired Plantech in 1999. Plantech utilized the research and testing facilities at the British Columbia Institute of Technology to produce our mock-prototype. 24 Since that time, we have contracted with Valcom, Ltd. of Guelph Ontario, Canada, to produce our first prototype, including the associated software and hardware. Valcom has estimated that the cost of producing the prototype will be approximately $395,000, of which we still need to pay approximately $245,000 before the prototype can be completed and released. COMPETITION There is significant competition in the computer peripheral, software, hardware and Internet industries. Computer peripheral and print-scan equipment manufacturers such as Hewlett-Packard, Cannon, Xerox, Epson, Palm Computing and others have the engineering, manufacturing and marketing expertise to produce similar devices and the financial resources to design and distribute a product similar in functionality to the Dragonfly. At present these manufacturers produce products that we believe offer some but not all of the functionality of the Dragonfly, but with appropriate engineering and licensing could produce a similar product. Any new developments in printing, scanning or document handling technology could cause the obsolescence of the product to be accelerated. Almost all of the companies with which we will compete are substantially larger, have more substantial histories, backgrounds, experience and records of successful operations, greater financial, technical, marketing and other resources, more employees and more extensive facilities than us. It is also likely that other competitors offering similar products will emerge in the near future. There is no assurance that we will compete successfully with other established computer software and Internet companies. We hope to compete on the basis of functionality, quality and price. INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY We regard our copyrights, service marks, trademarks, trade secrets and similar intellectual property as critical to our success, and rely on trademark and copyright law, trade secret protection and confidentiality and/or license agreements with our employees, customers, partners and others to protect our proprietary rights. We have no registered trademarks or service marks to date. It may be possible for unauthorized third parties to copy certain portions of our products or reverse engineer or obtain and use information that we regard as proprietary. There can be no assurance that our means of protecting our proprietary rights in the United States or abroad will be adequate. Other parties may assert, from time to time, infringement claims against us. We may also be subject to legal proceedings and claims from time to time in the ordinary course of our business, including claims of alleged infringement of the trademarks and other intellectual property rights of third parties by us and our licensees, if any. Such claims, even if not meritorious, could result in the expenditure of significant financial and managerial resources. E-REX CONSULTING We currently generate a limited amount of revenue from our consulting business, which operates as E-tech Design. This division of E-Rex provides services to its clients in the areas of Internet website design and development. Once the Dragonfly product is ready to market, we do not anticipate that our consulting business will constitute a material part of our operations, but will support and develop applications and customized services for the Dragonfly. 25 WEBULATE In August 2000, we acquired the assets of Webulate, LLC. These assets include an Internet service provider located at the Denver Technology Center, a suite of proprietary e-commerce and business-to-business application software systems, rights to a developmental stage peripheral computer device, and the ongoing client base of Webulate, LLC. Our management is currently evaluating the compatibility of these operations with our Dragonfly product. EMPLOYEES We currently have three full-time employees. Each of our full-time employees devotes all of their time to company. The Company currently subcontracts research and development as required for production of the Dragonfly prototype. The Company intends to add full-time executives in sales and marketing, finance and distribution as it moves closer to production of the Dragonfly. In the E-tech Design division there is one full time employee and it is anticipated that several staff will be added in the coming months in the areas of project management, sales and web site design and programming. 26 MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS QUALIFIED REPORT OF INDEPENDENT CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS Our independent accountant has qualified his report. They state that the audited financial statements of E-Rex, Inc. for the period ending December 31, 2000 have been prepared assuming the company will continue as a going concern. They note that the significant losses of our company as of December 31, 2000 raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue in business. YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2000 AND 1999 Results of Operations We had significant losses of $8,042,853 for the year ended December 31, 2000. We have funded losses by the sale of additional securities and the issuance of stock for services. We expect losses to continue. Other than the Swartz financing, we have no sources of long-term capital. To the extent losses continue and we are unable to fund them, we may have to curtail aspects of our operations or cease operations altogether. The Company intends to pursue its business plan and meet its reporting requirements utilizing cash made available from the private and future public sale of its securities as well as income for the Internet consulting division of the Company. The Company's management is aggressively pursuing relationships and markets for this division and is of the opinion that revenues from the sales of its securities will be sufficient to pay its expenses until its business operations create positive cash flow. The Company does not currently have sufficient capital to continue operations for the next twelve months and will have to raise additional capital to meet its business objectives as well as 1934 Act reporting requirements. On a long-term basis, the Company's liquidity is dependent on revenue generation, additional infusions of capital and potential debt financing. Company management believes that additional capital and debt financing in the short term will allow it to pursue it's business plan and thereafter result in revenue and greater liquidity in the long term. However, we currently have no arrangements for such financing and there can be no assurance that the Company will be able to obtain the needed additional equity or debt financing in the future. Revenue The Company's total revenue for the year ended December 31, 2000 was $35,976, all of which were earned from web site design and consulting services rendered by the Company. The cost of sales for this period was $10,607, resulting in gross profit of $25,369 for the year. The Company did not have any revenues for the years ended December 31, 1999 and 1998. General and Administrative The Company's general and administrative expenses totaled $7,900,075 for the year ended December 31, 2000, as compared to $464,436 for the previous year, an increase of over seventeen times. Of the total general and administrative expenses, $7,398,467, or 93.6%, is attributable to stock issued for services to various consultants, advisors, employees, and service providers to the Company. Because the Company does not have sufficient revenues or current assets to pay these providers in cash, it has continued to issue common stock for services, and anticipates that this pattern will continue throughout the current fiscal year. The Company also recorded $151,729 in research and development expenses related to its Dragonfly product. 27 Net Losses Net losses for the year ended December 31, 2000 were $8,042,853, as compared to $464,436 for the prior year, an increase of over 17 times. As described in General and Administrative, above, the primary component of the net loss was stock issued for services ($7,398,467). The Company expects that it will continue to incur large operating and net losses as a result of its insufficient revenue and continued issuance of stock for services. The loss per share, based on a weighted average number of shares of 18,841,966, was $0.43 per share, an increase of over ten times from the loss per share of $0.04 for the previous year. Liquidity and Capital Requirements The Company requires substantial capital in order to meet its ongoing corporate obligations and in order to continue and expand its current and strategic business plans. Working capital has been primarily obtained through the private placement of common stock. The web design and hosting business of the Company is in its infancy and is a minor part of the overall business. It is not expected that revenues from this area of the business will be sufficient in the near term to fund ongoing operations and development and the bringing to market of the Dragonfly. The Company's plans for manufacturing, sales and distribution of the Dragonfly are focused on establishing an OEM licensing agreement with one or more electronics manufacturers who have the available resources and wholesale and retail distribution channels to satisfactorily bring the product to market. The Company will therefore need available capital to complete the Dragonfly prototypes estimated at approximately $125,000 and an estimated additional $325,000 for product testing, packaging and consumer research prior to manufacturing. Capital to promote the product and accomplish the sales and marketing to the OEM entities is estimated at $1,000,000 over the next 12 months. Head office and corporate operations including salaries, rent, miscellaneous office expenses, investor relations, legal and accounting for the next 12 months is estimated at $650,000. The total capital requirement is therefore estimated at $2,100,000. It is anticipated that equity line from Swartz Private Equity, LLC, will be sufficient to meet those needs, however, there can be no assurance that the Company will be able to obtain the needed additional equity or debt financing in the future. In addition, the Swartz line of credit can only be utilized by the Company upon the effectiveness of this registration statement with the SEC, and then only if certain conditions are met and certain conditions precedent exist. It is possible that the company may not have sufficient capital to meet its short term requirements prior to the funding from the Swartz equity line becoming available and there is the potential due to market conditions that the amount of funding available under the Swartz financing agreement may be limited and not necessarily cover all operating and research and development expenses. The company may also raise additional operating capital through other equity and/or debt offerings. However there can be no assurances that it will be successful in its endeavors. 28 The Company received proceeds from the sale of common stock of $329,000.00 for the year ended December 31, 2000 resulting in net cash provided by financing activities of $436,654.00. The Company received proceeds from the sale of common stock of $80,833.00 for the year ended December 31, 1999 resulting in net cash provided by financing activities of $80,833.00. In an exchange of stock and services agreement with Ultimate Franchise Systems, Inc., the Company acquired securities valued at $400,000.00 for the twelve months ended December 31, 2000. The Company purchased fixed assets of $47,971.00 and invested $150,000.00 in a company named DiveDepot.Com, Inc. during the twelve months ended December 31, 2000. THREE AND SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2001 Results of Operations The Company had significant losses of $455,112 for the three month period ended June 30, 2001, as compared to $2,023,162 for the three month period ended June 30, 2000, and losses of $1,912,721 for the six month period ended June 30, 2001. The reduction in losses for this quarter as compared to the same quarter of last year is due primarily to the reduction in general and administrative expenses associated with restructuring and changing management. Losses have been funded by the sale of additional securities and the issuance of stock for services. We expect losses to continue. Revenue The Company's total revenue for the three month period ended June 30, 2001 was $29,072, all of which was earned from web site design and consulting services rendered by the Company. The cost of sales for this period was $23,228, resulting in gross profit of $5,844 for the three month period. The Company did not report any revenues for the same period in 2000. The company reported revenue of $35,976 for the year ended December 31, 2000 and did not have any revenues for the years ended December 31, 1999 and 1998.

The cost of sales for this period was $37,270, resulting in gross profit of ($232). The Company did not report any revenues for the same period in 2000. General and Administrative The Company's general and administrative expenses totaled $403,687 for the three month period ended June 30, 2001, as compared to $2,023,162 for the three month period ended June 30, 2000. Of the total general and administrative expenses, $358,569 is attributable to stock issued for services to various consultants, advisors, employees, and service providers to the Company. The substantial decline in operating expenses in the June 2001 quarter is due to final amortizing of accrued management fees expenses in the first quarter of 2001 in the amount of $1,258,045. These fees were related to the restructuring of the management team in early 2000 and are non-recurring. Because the Company does not have sufficient revenues or current assets to pay these providers in cash, it has continued to issue common stock for services, and anticipates that this pattern will continue during the coming year. The Company also recorded $41,397 in research and development expenses related to its Dragonfly product. No research and development expenses were recorded in the three month period ended June 30, 2000. 29 The Company's general and administrative expenses totaled $1,810,408 for the six month period ended June 30, 2001. Of the total general and administrative expenses, $450,775 is attributable to stock issued for services to various consultants, advisors, employees, and service providers to the Company. Because the Company does not have sufficient revenues or current assets to pay these providers in cash, it has continued to issue common stock for services, and anticipates that this pattern will continue during the coming year. The Company also recorded $71,189 in research and development expenses related to its Dragonfly product for the period. Net Losses Net losses for the three month period ended June 30, 2001 were $455,112 as compared to $2,023,162 for the three month period ended June 30, 2000, as a result of the change in general and administrative expenses as described above. The Company expects that it will continue to incur operating and net losses as a result of its insufficient revenue and continued issuance of stock for services. The loss per share for the quarter, based on a weighted average number of shares of 26,178,872 was $0.02 per share, compared with the loss per share of $0.11 based on a weighted average number of shares of 17,973,048 for the quarter ended June 30, 2000. Net losses for the six months ended June 30, 2001 were $1,912,721. The loss per share, based on a weighted average number of shares of 25,217,878 was $0.08 per share for the period.

This space covers approximately 1,050 square feet and is leased under an agreement that expires January 1, 2003 and requires us to pay $1,441.00 per month in rent.

CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS In May, 2000 the Company entered into an oral contract for design and integration work with Valcom, Ltd., a West Vancouver, British Columbia, controlled by Paul R. MacPherson, a former Director of the Company. Under the terms of this agreement, Valcom, Ltd. will supply six prototypes of the Dragonfly for the approximate sum of $268,000, including work done prior to May 2000. The work is to be done on an ongoing basis. To date, the Company has paid Valcom, Ltd. the sum of U.S. $150,000 on account, and the estimated total cost has been revised to $395,000, leaving a balance due of $245,000. In connection with the merger with Plantech Communication Systems, Inc. on February 20, 1999, the Company assumed a promissory note dated March 15, 1997 in the amount of $6,450 with no interest payable to Valcom, Ltd. The note remains outstanding. The Company entered into an agreement on January 21, 2000 with International Investment Banking, Inc. ("IIBI") whereby IIBI, among other things, was to serve as senior management of the Company for an initial term of two years unless further extended by mutual agreement of the parties (management is now the responsibility of Carl E. Dilley, President and Chief Executive Officer of the Company). Donald A. Mitchell, the former Chairman of the Company, controls IIBI. Pursuant to the agreement, IIBI received $10,000 per month and reimbursement of normal business expenses that it incurs on behalf of the Company and certain expenses of individual consultants assigned to the Company by IIBI. Thereafter the annual compensation increased at a rate of 20% per year. In addition to monthly compensation, IIBI or Mr. Mitchell was entitled to receive an annual bonus as determined by the Company's Board of Directors payable in common stock or cash. Mr. Mitchell was granted 2,000,000 shares of common stock representing 1,000,000 common shares for each year of IIBI's engagement. The agreement was terminated on June 30, 2001. IIBI has also loaned the Company money from time to time to cover the Company's short-term cash flow needs. The amounts borrowed accrue interest at the rate of the Wall Street Journal "Money Rates" Prime plus 4% per annum and is due and payable on demand. Currently, the outstanding balance due to IIBI under this arrangement is approximately $381,000, after giving effect to the conversion of $120,000 in principal amount into 600,000 shares of our common stock in February 2001.

We have audited the accompanying balance sheet of E-REX, Inc. as of December 31, 2000, and the related statement of operations, stockholders' equity, and cash flows for the two years ended December 31, 2000. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit. We conducted our audit in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion. In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of E-Rex, Inc., as of December 31, 2000 and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the two years in the period ended December 31, 2000 in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles. The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in the notes to the financial statements, the Company has experienced a loss. The Company's financial position and operating results raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 1. Summary of significant accounting policies: Nature of Operations - E-Rex, Inc. (the "Company"), a Nevada corporation, was incorporated on August 26, 1986 as P.R. Stocks, Inc. On February 26, 1992, the Company changed its name to National Health & Safety Corporation. On November 12, 1992, the Company changed its name to Medgain International Corporation. On June 20, 1994 the Company changed its name to E-Rex, Inc. On February 20, 1999 the Company entered into a business combination (see Note 5). Until September of the year 2000, the Company had no material revenues and was considered to be in the development stage. The Company now operates an internet web hosting service. The Company continues its development of computer hardware and software products that it intends to sell. Cash Equivalents - The Company considers all highly liquid investments with a maturity of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents. Earnings (Loss) Per Share - Basic earnings per share ("EPS") is computed by dividing earnings available to common shareholders by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding for the period as required by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) under Statement No. 128, "Earnings per Shares". Diluted EPS reflects the potential dilution of securities that could share in the earnings. Basis of Accounting - The Company's financial statements are prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. 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 amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Income Taxes - The Company records its income tax provision in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes." Functional Currency - All amounts in the Company's financial statements and related footnotes are stated in US dollars. The Company had no significant gain or losses from foreign currency conversions. The Company has closed its foreign bank accounts during the year 2000 and now operates using U.S. currency. Property and Equipment - Depreciation and amortization is computed by the straight line method with the following recovery periods: Office equipment and software 3-5 Years Furniture 5-7 Years Maintenance and repairs, as incurred, are charged to expense; betterments and renewals are capitalized in plant and equipment accounts. Cost and accumulated depreciation applicable to items replaced or retired are eliminated from the related accounts; gain or loss on the disposition thereof is included as income. No depreciation is recorded on property and plant left idle. 2. Basis of Presentation as a Going Concern: The Company's financial statements have been presented on the basis that it is a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company incurred a net loss for the period from inception (August 26, 1986) to September 30, 2000 (the Company's development stage). The Company continues to operate at a loss. This factor, among others, raises substantial doubt as to the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. The Company's management intends to raise additional operating funds through equity and/or debt offerings and revenue from its new operation. However, there can be no assurance management will be successful in its endeavors. 3. Income Taxes: The Company records its income tax provision in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes" which requires the use of the liability method of accounting for deferred income taxes. Since the Company has not generated cumulative taxable income since inception, no provision for income taxes has been provided. At December 31, 2000, the Company did not have significant tax net operating loss carry forwards (tax benefits resulting from losses for tax purposes have been fully reserved due to the uncertainty of a going concern). At December 31, 2000 the Company did not have any significant deferred tax liabilities or deferred tax assets. 4. Development Stage Company: During the year 2000, the Company's management has determined that the Company is no longer in the development stage. It continues to develop computer hardware and software components, but has added the service of internet web hosting as its current operations. A development stage company is one for which principal operations have not commenced or principal operations have generated an insignificant amount of revenue. Management of a development stage company devotes most of its activities to establishing a new business. Operating losses have been incurred through September 30, 2000, and the company continues to use, rather than provide, working capital for the development of computer hardware and software. Although management believes that it is pursuing a course of action that will provide successful future operations, the outcome of these matters is uncertain. The Company continues this development and has now started operations in the internet web hosting industry. 5. Business Combination: On February 20, 1999 the Company entered into a merger agreement with Plantech Communications Systems, Inc. ("Plantech"), a privately held British Columbia, Canada, Corporation. Plantech is a development stage enterprise in the software, computer and internet area. From inception in 1992 to date Plantech has had no revenues. Under the terms of the merger agreement, Plantech shareholders received one share of the Company's common stock for each outstanding share of Plantech stock. The Company issued 8,137,616 shares of its common stock in exchange for all the Plantech common shares outstanding as of February 20, 1999. F-6 The above business combination was accounted for under the purchase method. There was no significant difference between the purchase cost and the fair value of net assets/liabilities acquired, thus no goodwill was recorded. Plantech's results of operations are included in the Company's statement of operations from the date of merger, February 20, 1999, until the Company survived during that year as the surviving corporation. The following table sets forth certain results of operations for the periods presented as if the Plantech business combination had been consummated on the same terms at the Plantech inception in 1992. Inception Jan. 1, 1999 (8/26/86) To Feb. 20, To Dec. 31, 1999 1999 ----------------- -------------- Revenues $ -- $ -- Net (Loss) $ (230,954) $ (616,086) 6. Litigation: On August 4, 2000, Crusader Capital Group, Inc. filed a complaint against the company in civil action number CV-N-411-DWH-RAM in the United States District Court for the district of Nevada. The company was served with this complaint on or about August 10, 2000. This complaint alleges undetermined damages for misrepresentations, omissions, breach of contract and unjust enrichment related to Crusaders purchase of restricted stock in the company during the first quarter of 2000. In January, 2000 the Board of Directors resolved to settle a British Columbia Supreme Court action brought against the Company for an unpaid vendor bill for $25,000.00. The Company also accepted from the same vendor a return of 50,000 shares of the Company stock that the vendor held. In 1993 the Company initiated legal action against a former merger candidate, and several of its principals, primarily to the Company when the merger was not consummated. In October, 1997 a settlement agreement relating to the above action was entered into. In November, 1997 the Company received, net of attorney's fees, $120,726.00 to settle this matter. The company believes the claims made in the complaint are without merit and intends to defend itself vigorously in this matter. 7. Related Party Transactions: The Company made two investments in related companies. The Company made an investment in Ultimate Franchise Systems, Inc. (USFI) on August 1, 2000 in an exchange of 1,000,000 shares of the Company's stock valued at $400,000 for stock in USFI. Further to the agreement the Company will develop a home delivery web site and on-line ordering system for a fee of $75.00 per unit per month in approximately 300 restaurants, plus a royalty of 5% of on-line gross sales. The second investment the Company made on September 1, 2000 was a purchase of assets from Webulate LLC. The assets include software, equipment and stock in DiveDepot.Com, Inc. The transaction was completed with $40,000 cash and $200,000 in convertible note payables valued for a total of $240,000. The President of the Company, Mr. Dilley, is also on the Board of Directors of DiveDepot.Com, Inc. F-7 The Company entered into an agreement on January 21, 2000 with International Investment Banking, Inc. ("IIBI") whereby IIBI will serve as senior management of the Company for an initial term of two years unless further extended by mutual agreement of the parties. The Chief Executive Officer, Donald A. Mitchell, of the Company also controls IIBI. Pursuant to the agreement, IIBI receives $10,000 per month and reimbursement of normal business expenses that it incurs on behalf of the Company and certain expenses of individual consultants that IIBI assigns to carry out the duties and responsibilities of IIBI. Thereafter the annual compensation shall increase at a rate of 20% per year. In addition to monthly compensation, IIBI OR Mr. Mitchell may be entitled to receive an annual bonus as determined by the Company's Board of Directors payable in common stock or cash. Mr. Mitchell was granted 2,000,000 shares of common stock representing 1,000,000 common shares for each year of IIBI's engagement. As an addendum of this agreement, IIBI was directed on the Company's behalf the following: Purchase 8,237,616 shares of stock from two of the Company's former directors for $250,000; issue 6,000,000 shares of stock to Stockholder Presentations, Inc. per an investor relations contract; and issue IIBI 1,000,000 shares of restricted common stock. The Company assumed a promissory note payable to Valcom Ltd, a West Vancouver, British Columbia Company, dated March 15, 1997 in the amount of $6,450 with no interest stated. This note was assumed by the Company from the merger as described in footnote 5. The Company has also entered into an agreement for design and integration work with Valcom Ltd, an entity controlled by a shareholder of the Company, Paul R. Macpherson, that was a director of the Company at the time the agreement was entered into. The Company continues an ongoing relationship with Valcom Ltd. in that the Company uses Valcom Ltd. as its resource for research and development of its computer hardware and software product development along with a company by the name of Riotech. 8. Convertible Debenture Bonds: Refer to Footnote 7 with regard to bonds issued to related parties. 9. Stockholders' Equity: Refer to Footnote 7 with regard to equity changes with related parties. On November 20, 2000, the board of directors declared 1,096,670 restricted common shares to be issued, a value of $449,537, for the purpose of settling with shareholders that had asserted that the Company had originally issued the shareholders stock that was stated to be free trading shares. The shares were issued under a Regulation D section 144 filing. In addition to the shares issued were 3,290,000 options to purchase shares of the Company's common stock at an excercies price at $1.00 that expire on November 21, 2002. The Company's management disagreed with the assertion, but decided to settle with the agreement. As noted in Footnote 6, Crusader Capital Group, Inc., one of the shareholders representing about 15% of all shareholders which has asserted a claim against the Company, has not accepted the settlement at this time, however, the shares have been accounted for as issued. There is uncertainty regarding the outcome of the Crusader Capital Group, Inc. claim. F-8 Stock options have been granted by the Company to directors and officers with an expiration date of November 21, 2002. The stock options were issued November 21, 2000 with 325,000 options excercisable at $.40 per share and 325,000 options excercisable at $.75 per share. Stock options have been granted by the Company to Ultimate Franchise Systems Inc., to purchase 3,000,000 shares of E-Rex common stock at an exercise price equal to the average of the closing ask price plus $.01, as quoted on the NASD over-the counter bulletin board for the five trading days immediately preceding the closing. 700,000 options were issued to Corporate Service Providers Inc. for the purpose of providing investment banking services to the company. Terms as per corporate resolution dated 8/1/00 as follows: Exercisable at $1.00 during the 1st 12 months from date of issue. Exercisable at $1.50 during the 2nd 12 months from date of issue. Options are callable with a 21 day notification by the company if the stock trades for 20 consecutive business days at a 50% premium to the exercise price. E-Rex has also offered $1,000,000 in units of the company's securities pursuant to its Memorandum of terms dated June 21, 2000. The units consist of either a Series A 10% Convertible Debenture or a Series B 10% Convertible Debenture together with 50,000 attached warrants to purchase common stock at an exercise price of $1.00 per share and a two year expiration. The Company has issued $240,000 of these bonds, $200,000 of which were in exchange for assets purchased in the Webulate LLC transaction. The transaction is not a public offering as defined in section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, and accordingly, the units will not be registered under the Act or laws of any state but are being offered pursuant to exemptions from registration. 10. Concentrations of risk: The Company relies on operating revenue from one service, internet web hosting. Development of computer hardware and software products continues, but is not funded by the Company's current operation. 11. Required Cash Flow Disclosure: The Company had no interest and income taxes paid for the year. The Company entered into agreements with non-cash exchanges of stock and bonds as detailed in Footnote 7.

Haas, CPA Office (407) 834-7344 Fax (407) 834-7814 INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT ON FINANCIAL STATEMENTS --------------------------------------------------------------- To the Board of Directors and Stockholders E-Rex, Inc. Orlando, FL We have audited the accompanying balance sheet of E-Rex, Inc. (a development stage company), as of December 31, 1999, and the related statement of operations, stockholders' equity and cash flows for the year ended December 31, 1999, the year ended December 31, 1998, the year ended December 31, 1997 and for the period from inception (August 26, 1986) to December 31,1999. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit. We conducted our audit in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion. In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of E-Rex, Inc. (a development stage company) as of December 31, 1999, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the year ended December 31, 1999, the year ended December 31, 1998, the year ended December 31, 1997 and for the period from inception (August 26, 1986) to December 31, 1999 in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles. The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 2 to the financial statements, the Company has suffered recurring losses from operations that raises substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Management's plans in regard to these matters are also described in note 2. The Financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (See Independent Auditors Report) 1. Summary of significant accounting policies: Nature of Operations - E-Rex, Inc. (the "Company"), a Nevada corporation, was incorporated on August 26, 1986 as P.R. Stocks, Inc. On February 26, 1992, the Company changed its name to National Health & Safety Corporation. On November 12, 1992, the Company changed its name to Medgain International Corporation. On June 20, 1994 the Company changed its name to E-Rex, Inc. On February 20, 1999 the Company entered into a business combination (see Note 5). To date, the Company has had no revenues. The Company is in the development stage. Cash Equivalents - The Company considers all highly liquid investments with a maturity of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents. Earnings (Loss) Per Share - Basic earnings per share ("EPS") is computed by dividing earnings available to common shareholders by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding for the period as required by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) under Statement No. 128, 'Earnings per Shares". Diluted EPS reflects the potential dilution of securities that could share in the earnings. Basis of Accounting - The Company's financial statements are prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. 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 amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Income Taxes - The Company records its income tax provision in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes." Functional Currency - All amounts in the Company's financial statements and related footnotes are stated in US dollars. The Company had no significant gain or losses from foreign currency conversions. F-17 E-REX, INC. NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (See Independent Auditors Report) Property and Equipment - Depreciation and amortization is computed by the straight line method with the following recovery periods: Organization costs 5 Years Office equipment and software 3-5 Years Furniture 5-7 Years Maintenance and repairs, as incurred, are charged to expense; betterments and renewals are capitalized in plant and equipment accounts. Cost and accumulated depreciation applicable to items replaced or retired are eliminated from the related accounts; gain or loss on the disposition thereof is included as income. No depreciation is recorded on property and plant left idle. 2. Basis of Presentation as a Going Concern: The Company's financial statements have been presented on the basis that it is a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company incurred a net loss of $812,952 for the period from inception (August 26, 1986) to December 31, 1999. This factor, amoung others, raises substantial doubt as to the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. The Company's management intends to raise additional operating funds through equity and/or debt offerings. However, there can be no assurance management will be successful in its endeavers. 3. Income Taxes: The Company records its incoem tax provision in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes" which requires the use of the liability method of accounting for deferred incoem taxes. Since the Company has not generated cumulative taxable income since inception, no provision for income taxes has been provided. At December 31, 1999, the Company did not have any significant tax net operating loss carryforwards ( tax benefits resulting from losses for tax purposes have been fully reserved due to the uncertainty of a going concern). At December 31, 1999, the Company did not have any significant deferred tax liabilities or deferred tax assets. F-18 E-REX, INC. NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (See Independent Auditors Report) 4. Development Stage Company: A development stage company is one for which principal operations have not commenced or pricipal operations have generated an insignificant amount of revenue. Management of a development stage company devotes most of its activities to establishing a new business. Operating losses have been incurred through December 31, 1999, and the company continues to use, rather than provide, working capital in this operation. Although management believes that it is pursuing a course of action that will provide successful future operations, the outcome of these matters is uncertain. Basic earnings per share ("EPS") is computed by dividing earnings available to common shareholders by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding for the period as required by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) under Statement No. 128, 'Earnings per Shares". Diluted EPS reflects the potential dilution of securities that could share in the earnings. 5. Business Combination: On February 20, 1999 the Company entered into a merger agreement with Plantech Communications Systems, Inc. ("Plantech"), a privately held British Columbia, Canada, Corporation. Plantech is a development stage enterprise in the software, computer and internet area. From inception in 1992 to date Plantech has had no revenues. Under the terms of the merger agreement, Plantech shareholders received one share of the Company's common stock for each outstanding share of Plantech stock. The Company issued 8,137,616 shares of its common stock in exchange for all the plantech common shares outstanding as of February 20, 1999. The above business combination was accounted for under the purchase method. There was no significant difference between the purchase cost and the fair value of net assets/liabilities acquired, thus no goodwill or negative goodwill was recorded. F-19 E-REX, INC. NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (See Independent Auditors Report) Plantech's results of operations are included in the Company's statement of operations from the date of merger, February 20, 1999, forward. The following table sets forth certain results of operations for the periods presented as if the Plantech business combination had been consumated on the same terms at the Plantech inception in 1992. Inception Jan. 1, 1999 (8/26/86) to Feb. 20, to Dec. 31, 1999 1998 Revenues $ - $ - Net (Loss) $ (230,954) $ (616,086) 6. Litigation and subsequent events: In January, 2000 the Board of Directors resolved to settle a British Columbia Supreme Court action brought against the Company for an unpaid vendor bill for $25,000. The Company also accepted from the same vendor a return of 50,000 shares of the Company stock that the vendor held. In 1993 the Company initiated legal action against a former merger candidate, and several of its principals, primarily to the Company when the merger was not consummated. In October, 1997 a settlement agreement relating to the above action was entered into. In November, 1997 the Company received, net of attorney's fees, $120,726 to settle this matter. 7. Related Party Transactions: The Company entered into a an agreement for design and integration work with an entity controlled by one of the Company's director/shareholders named Valcom Ltd., a West Vancouver, British Columbia company. 8. Required Cash Flow Disclosure: The Company had no interest and income taxes paid for the year. The Company entered into a non-cash merger transaction as noted in footnote 5. F-20 E-REX, INC.

FORM 10-QSB NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS JUNE 30, 2001 1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies: Nature of Operations - E-Rex, Inc. (the "Company"), a Nevada corporation, was incorporated on August 26, 1986 as P.R. Stocks, Inc. On February 26, 1992, the Company changed its name to National Health & Safety Corporation. On November 12, 1992, the Company changed its name to Medgain International Corporation. On June 20, 1994 the Company changed its name to E-Rex, Inc. On February 20, 1999 the Company entered into a business combination (see Note 5). Until September of the year 2000, the Company had no material revenues and was considered to be in the development stage. The Company now operates an internet web hosting service. The Company continues its development of computer hardware and software products that it intends to sell. Cash Equivalents - The Company considers all highly liquid investments with a maturity of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents. Earnings (Loss) Per Share - Basic earnings per share ("EPS") is computed by dividing earnings available to common shareholders by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding for the period as required by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) under Statement No. 128, "Earnings per Share". Diluted EPS reflects the potential dilution of securities that could share in the earnings. Basis of Accounting - The Company's financial statements are prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. 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 amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Income Taxes - The Company records its income tax provision in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes." Functional Currency - All amounts in the Company's financial statements and related footnotes are stated in U.S. dollars. The Company had no significant gain or losses from foreign currency conversions. The Company has closed its foreign bank accounts during the year 2000 and now operates using U.S. currency. Property and Equipment - Depreciation and amortization is computed by the straight line method with the following recovery periods: Office equipment and software 3-5 Years Furniture 5-7 Years F-25 Maintenance and repairs, as incurred, are charged to expense; betterments and renewals are capitalized in plant and equipment accounts. Cost and accumulated depreciation applicable to items replaced or retired are eliminated from the related accounts; gain or loss on the disposition thereof is included as income. No depreciation is recorded on property and plant left idle. 2. Basis of Presentation as a Going Concern: The Company's financial statements have been presented on the basis that it is a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company incurred a net loss for the period from inception (August 26, 1986) to September 30, 2000 (the Company's development stage). The Company continues to operate at a loss. This factor, among others, raises substantial doubt as to the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. The Company's management intends to raise additional operating funds through equity and/or debt offerings and revenue from its new operation. However, there can be no assurance management will be successful in its endeavors. 3. Income Taxes: The Company records its income tax provision in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes" which requires the use of the liability method of accounting for deferred income taxes. Since the Company has not generated cumulative taxable income since inception, no provision for income taxes has been provided. At June 30, 2001, the Company did not have significant tax net operating loss carry forwards (tax benefits resulting from losses for tax purposes have been fully reserved due to the uncertainty of a going concern). At June 30, 2001 the Company did not have any significant deferred tax liabilities or deferred tax assets. 4. Development Stage Company: During the year 2000, the Company's management determined that the Company is no longer in the development stage. It continues to develop computer hardware and software components, but has added the service of internet web hosting, design and consulting as part of its current and ongoing operations. A development stage company is one for which principal operations have not commenced or principal operations have generated an insignificant amount of revenue. Management of a development stage company devotes most of its activities to establishing a new business. Operating losses have been incurred through June 30, 2001, and the company continues to use, rather than provide, working capital for the development of computer hardware and software. Although management believes that it is pursuing a course of action that will provide successful future operations, the outcome of these matters is uncertain. The Company continues this development and has now started operations in the internet web hosting, design and consulting industry. 5. Business Combination: On February 20, 1999 the Company entered into a merger agreement with Plantech Communications Systems, Inc. ("Plantech"), a privately held British Columbia, Canada, Corporation. Plantech is a development stage enterprise in the software, computer and internet area. From inception in 1992 to date Plantech has had no revenues. F-26 Under the terms of the merger agreement, Plantech shareholders received one share of the Company's common stock for each outstanding share of Plantech stock. The Company issued 8,137,616 shares of its common stock in exchange for all the Plantech common shares outstanding as of February 20, 1999. The above business combination was accounted for under the purchase method. There was no significant difference between the purchase cost and the fair value of net assets/liabilities acquired, thus no goodwill was recorded. Plantech's results of operations are included in the Company's statement of operations from the date of merger, February 20, 1999. The Company survived during that year as the surviving corporation. The following table sets forth certain results of operations for the periods presented as if the Plantech business combination had been consummated on the same terms at the Plantech inception in 1992. Inception Jan. 1, 1999 (8/26/86) To Feb. 20, To Dec. 31, 1999 1999 ------------- ------------ Revenues $ -- $ -- Net (Loss) $ (230,954) $ (616,086) 6. Litigation: On August 4, 2000, Crusader Capital Group, Inc. filed a complaint against the company in civil action number CV-N-411-DWH-RAM in the United States District Court for the district of Nevada. The company was served with this complaint on or about August 10, 2000. This complaint alleges undetermined damages for misrepresentations, omissions, breach of contract and unjust enrichment related to Crusaders purchase of restricted stock in the company during the first quarter of 2000. The case is in the discovery phase of litigation, however, a settlement agreement has been reached in principal, subject to execution of the final settlement documents. The Company has issued a total of 166,667 shares of restricted common stock that will be delivered to Crusader Capital Group, Inc. upon execution of the final settlement agreement. In January, 2000 the Board of Directors resolved to settle a British Columbia Supreme Court action brought against the Company for an unpaid vendor bill for $25,000.00. The Company also accepted from the same vendor a return of 50,000 shares of the Company stock that the vendor held. 7. Related Party Transactions: The Company made an investment in Ultimate Franchise Systems, Inc. (USFI) on August 1, 2000 in an exchange of 1,000,000 shares of the Company's stock valued at $400,000 for 1,000,000 shares of common stock in USFI and other consideration, valued at $400,000. Further to the agreement the Company will develop a home delivery web site and on-line ordering system for a fee of $75.00 per unit per month in approximately 300 restaurants, plus a royalty of 5% of on-line gross sales. At the time of the transaction, Donald A. Mitchell was a director of both E-Rex and UFSI. F-27 On September 1, 2000 the Company completed the purchase of assets from Webulate LLC. The assets include software, equipment and stock in DiveDepot.Com, Inc. The transaction was completed with $40,000 cash and $200,000 in convertible note payables valued for a total of $240,000. The President of the Company, Mr. Dilley, and the Chairman, Mr. Mitchell, are also on the Board of Directors of DiveDepot.Com, Inc. The Company entered into an agreement on January 21, 2000 with International Investment Banking, Inc. ("IIBI") whereby IIBI will serve as senior management of the Company for an initial term of two years unless further extended by mutual agreement of the parties. The Chairman of the Company, Donald A. Mitchell, also controls IIBI. Pursuant to the agreement, IIBI receives $10,000 per month and reimbursement of normal business expenses that it incurs on behalf of the Company and certain expenses of individual consultants that IIBI assigns to carry out the duties and responsibilities of IIBI. Thereafter the annual compensation shall increase at a rate of 20% per year. In addition to monthly compensation, IIBI or Mr. Mitchell may be entitled to receive an annual bonus as determined by the Company's Board of Directors payable in common stock or cash. Mr. Mitchell was granted 2,000,000 shares of common stock representing 1,000,000 common shares for each year of IIBI's engagement. As an addendum to this agreement, IIBI was directed on the Company's behalf to execute the following: Purchase 8,237,616 shares of stock from two of the Company's former directors for $250,000; issue 6,000,000 shares of stock to Stockbroker Relations, Inc. per an investor relations contract; and issue IIBI 1,000,000 shares of restricted common stock. On February 28, 2001 the board of Directors issued 600,000 restricted shares under Regulation D to IIBI in satisfaction of an outstanding debt of $120,000. On February 22, 2001 the Company issued 75,000 shares of common stock to Jeffrey Harvey, a director and officer, for legal services valued at $15,000, and 75,000 shares of common stock to Carl Dilley, for management services valued at $28,500.

This note was assumed by the Company from the merger as described in footnote 5. The Company has also entered into an agreement for design and integration work with Valcom Ltd, an entity controlled by a shareholder of the Company, Paul R. Macpherson, who was also a director of the Company at the time the agreement was entered into. The Company continues an ongoing relationship with Valcom Ltd. in that the Company uses Valcom Ltd. as its resource for research and development of its computer hardware and software product development along with a company by the name of Riotech. 8.

Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to our directors, officers and controlling persons pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, we have been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act of 1933 and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by us of expenses incurred or paid by our director, officer or controlling person in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, we will, unless in the opinion of our counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act of 1933 and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue. B. We hereby undertake: (1) To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this registration statement to: (i) Include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act of 1933; (ii) Reflect in the prospectus any facts or events which, individually or together, represent a fundamental change in the information 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) 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) (Section 230.424(b) of Regulation S-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; and (iii) Include any additional or changed material information on the plan of distribution. II-5 (2) For determining liability under the Securities Act, treat each post-effective amendment as a new registration statement of the securities offered, and the offering of the securities at that time to be the initial bona fide offering. (3) File a post-effective amendment to remove from registration any of the securities that remain unsold at the end of the offering.
