who are entitled to receive this Information Statement, 139,450,000 shares of
Common Stock were issued and outstanding. The Common Stock constitutes the sole

shareholders. The mailing date of this Information Statement is April __, 2004.
NO VOTE OR OTHER CONSENT OF THE STOCKHOLDERS IS SOLICITED IN
CONNECTION WITH THIS INFORMATION STATEMENT.
WE ARE NOT ASKING YOU FOR A PROXY AND YOU ARE
REQUESTED NOT TO SEND US A PROXY.
On April 9, 2004, stockholders who collectively own 72,415,392 shares, or

FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS
This Information Statement and other reports that we file with the SEC contain
forward-looking statements about our business containing the words "believes,"
"anticipates," "expects" and words of similar import. These forward-looking
statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that
may cause our actual results or performance to be materially different from the
results or performance anticipated or implied by such forward-looking
statements. Given these uncertainties, stockholders are cautioned not to place
undue reliance on forward-looking statements. Except as specified in SEC
regulations, we have no duty to publicly release information that updates the
forward-looking statements contained in this Information Statement. Additional
risks will be disclosed from time to time in our future SEC filings.
GENERAL
This Information Statement is being furnished to all of the Common Stock
shareholders of the Company, in connection with the approval by the Company's
shareholders of an amendment to the Company's Articles of Incorporation changing
its name to "Giant Jr. Investments, Inc." (the "Amendment").
The Company's Board of Directors and shareholders owning approximately 51.4% of
the Company's Common Stock on April 9, 2004, approved and recommended that the
Amendment be effected. Such approval of recommendations by the Board of
Directors and shareholders will become effective as of the date the Amendment is
filed with the Nevada Secretary of State. The Amendment is expected to be filed
on or about May __, 2004, and will become effective upon the filing with the
Secretary of State of Nevada (the "Effective Date"). If the proposed Amendment
was not adopted by written consent it would have been required to be considered
by the Company's shareholders, at a special shareholders' meeting convened for
the specific purpose of approving the Amendment.
The elimination of the need for a special meeting of shareholders to approve the
Amendment is authorized by the Nevada Revised Statutes (the " Nevada Law") which
provides that the written consent of the holders of the outstanding shares of
voting stock, having not less than the minimum number of votes which would be
necessary to authorize or take such action at a meeting at which all shares
entitled to vote thereon were present and voted, may be substituted for such a
special meeting. Pursuant to the Nevada Law, a majority of the outstanding share
of voting stock entitled to vote thereon is required in order to approve an
amendment to Company's Articles of Incorporation changing its name. In order to
eliminate the costs and management time involved in holding a special meeting
and in order to approve the Amendment as early as possible in order to
accomplish the purpose of the Company as hereafter described, the Board of
Directors of the Company voted to utilize the written consent of the holders of
a majority in interest of the outstanding Common Stock of the Company.
Stockholders who beneficially own approximately 51.4% of the outstanding Common
Stock of the Company entitled to vote on the Amendment, gave their written
consent to the approval of the Amendment described in this Information Statement
on April 9, 2004. The written consent became effective on April 9, 2004, the
date on which their written consent was filed with the Secretary of the Company.
The date on which this Information Statement was first sent to the shareholders
is on or about April __, 2004. The record date established by the Company for
the purpose of determining the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock of
the Company is April 22, 2004 (the "Record Date").
Pursuant to the Nevada Law, the Company is required to provide prompt notice of
the taking of the corporation action without a meeting to shareholders who have
not consented in writing to such action. Inasmuch as the Company will have
provided to its shareholders of record this Information Statement, the Company
will notify its shareholders by letter filed under a Current Report on Form 8-K
of the effective date of the name change. No additional action will be
undertaken pursuant to such written consents, and no dissenters' rights under
the Nevada Law are afforded to the Company's shareholders as a result of the
approval of the Amendment.

We are not seeking written consent from any of our stockholders and our other

Information Statement is furnished solely for the purpose of:

by Nevada law; and

AMENDMENT TO OUR ARTICLES OF INCORPORATION
CHANGE OF NAME
On April 9, 2004 the Board of Directors of the Company and shareholders owning
approximately 51.4% of the Company's issued and outstanding common stock
approved an Amendment to the Company's Articles of Incorporation changing the
name of the Company to "Giant Jr. Investments Corp."
The Board of Directors of the Company has determined that in the best interest
of its shareholders, the Company should consider a different course of action.
In this regard the Company will pursue becoming a Business Development Company.
The Company plans to seek out strategic investments in a number of growth
industries. The Company intends to raise capital for investment into mid stage
businesses, and then provide management assistance and growth capital.
Therefore, since the Company will be focusing on today's junior companies with
the potential to become tomorrow's giants within their industry the name "Giant
Jr. Investments Corp." more accurately reflects the Company's planned business
model as a holding company with diversified interests outside of the sports
equipment industry.
The proposed Amendment will not have any material affect on the Company's
business, operations, reporting requirements, or stock price. Stockholders will
not be required to have new stock certificates reflecting the name change. New
stock certificates will be issued in due course as old certificates are tendered
to the Company's transfer agent.
