EXPLANATORY NOTE
This is our fourth post-effective amendment to our registration statement
relating to our previous registration of one million units. Each unit consisted
of one share of common stock and five two-year common stock purchase warrants.
All units were subscribed to in our initial self underwritten public offering,
raising gross and net proceeds of $100,000. We were organized as a vehicle to
merge with another company, pursuant to Rule 419 of Regulation C of the
Securities Act of 1933. Our first and second post-effective amendments related
to our proposed acquisition of Sky E-Com. Our third post-effective amendment to
our registration statement related to our proposed acquisition of Look Models
International, Inc. Rule 419 requires that we consummate an acquisition within
eighteen months from the effective date of our registration statement. We were
unable to complete our acquisition of Look Models International, Inc. pursuant
to an effective post-effective amendment and reconfirmation offer within the
required eighteen month time frame. As a result, the Securities and Exchange
Commission advised us to refund the balance of our subscription proceeds to our
investors($90,000 after utilization of 10% of the proceeds for expenses as
allowed by Rule 419), which we have done. We have been permitted to proceed with
this post-effective amendment in order to disclose the details of our
acquisition of Look Models and to re-offer one million units, now consisting of
one share of common stock and two two-year common stock purchase warrants, for
an aggregate of $100,000.
PROSPECTUS
KINGSGATE ACQUISITIONS, INC.
(A Delaware Corporation)
1,000,000 units consisting of
1,000,000 shares of common stock
2,000,000 two-year redeemable warrants
In our initial self-underwritten public offering pursuant to Rule 419 of
the Securities Act of 1933, we sold 1,000,000 units at $0.10 per unit raising an
aggregate of $100,000. All the offering proceeds as well as certificates
representing the shares and warrants purchased in the offering were held in an
escrow account. Pursuant to a Securities Purchase Agreement dated July 25, 2001,
we agreed to purchase all of the outstanding shares of common stock of Look
Models International, Inc., a Delaware corporation ("Look Models") and all
shareholders of Look Models will become our shareholders. Rule 419 requires that
we consummate an acquisition within eighteen months from the effective date of
our registration statement. As we were unable to accomplish this goal within the
allotted time frame, we were required by the Securities and Exchange Commission
to return escrowed funds. The purpose of this post-effective amendment to our
registration statement is to disclose the completion of our acquisition of Look
Models and to re-offer our 1,000,000 units to the public. Each unit consists of
one share of common stock and two two-year purchase warrants. Each unit shall be
offered at a $0.10 per unit for an aggregate offering amount of $100,000.
These securities have not been approved or disapproved by the securities
and exchange commission nor has the commission passed upon the accuracy or
adequacy of the prospectus. Any representation to the contrary is a criminal
offense.
Our shares are not listed on any securities exchange.

*Note that we were unable to complete our acquisition of Look Models

reconfirmation offer within the statutorily required eighteen month time frame,
mandated by Rule 419 of the Securities Act. As a result, the Securities and
Exchange Commission advised us to refund the balance of our subscription
proceeds to our investors($90,000 after utilization of 10% of the proceeds for
expenses as allowed by Rule 419). The subscription proceeds has been returned
subsequent to the date of this summary financial information.
RISK FACTORS
An investment in our securities involves a high degree of risk. You should
carefully consider, together with the other information appearing in this
prospectus, the following factors in evaluating an investment in our company.
We cannot assure you of the abilities or success of the Look Models
management team upon whom investors must rely for our future success
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
We have agreed that, upon the successful completion of our business
combination with Look Models, we will issue 10,500,000 shares of our common
stock and our founders will transfer 1,000,000 of their shares to shareholders
of Look Models so that the shareholders of Look Models will own 11,500,000
shares of a total of 12,500,000 shares or 92% of our issued and outstanding
common stock. Assuming the successful sale of all 1,000,000 shares of common
stock pursuant to this offering, there will be 13,500,000 shares outstanding, of
which the shareholders of Look Models will own 85.2%. Therefore, the
consummation of this business combination will result in a change of control to
the present management of Look Models and the resignation of all our present
officers and all of our directors. We can provide no assurance that the
management of Look Models will successfully run the business after our
acquisition.
Look Models has experienced losses and we can give no assurances that Look
Models will become a profitable venture or that its products and services will
achieve commercial acceptance.
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Look Models and its predecessors have experienced losses in the past two
fiscal years, as it has invested heavily in the development of its event
management and licensing business, as well as its product line. We can give no
assurances that Look Models' new products will be accepted in the marketplace or
that these products will generate revenues.
Look Models is dependent on its, President, Wolfgang Schwarz, and upon the
retention of additional qualified management and technical personnel.
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Look Models' success is greatly dependent on its president and largest
stockholder, Wolfgang Schwarz, due to his background, experience and contacts in
the industry and his knowledge of the marketplace and its nuances. In addition,
Look Models must attract and retain qualified management for the further
development of its business and improvement and marketing of its products.
Competition for management and marketing personnel is intense. Look Models'
inability to attract additional key employees or the loss of one or more current
key employees could adversely affect it in developing existing products and
marketing its products to existing and future clients.
There is no public market for our securities.
- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------
As of this date, there is no public trading market for our common stock.
Given the small size of this offering, and the relatively minimal public float,
there is only a very limited likelihood of any active and liquid public trading
market developing for the shares. If such a market does develop, the price of
our common stock may be volatile. Thus, investors run the risk that they will
never be able to sell their shares. In any event, there are additional state
securities laws preventing resale transactions. While we have solicited Public
Securities of Spokane, Washington to be our market maker, we can give assurance
that a market can be made in our securities.
We may need additional financing.
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
While the president of Look Models has guaranteed funding for its
operations for up to 25% of the total annual operating expenses for 2002, this
guarantee is not without end. No other officers, directors or affiliates of our
company or Look Models have agreed to lend money to our company or Look Models.
In order to achieve and maintain our planned growth rate after the merger, which
growth plan includes financing acquisitions, Look Models may have to obtain
additional bank financing or sell additional debt or equity securities in public
or private financing. Any such financing could dilute the interest of current
shareholders. There can be no assurance that any such additional financing will
be available or, if it is available, that it will be in such amounts and on the
terms that will be satisfactory to Look Models.
There was no independent valuation of the shares in the acquisition transaction.
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The number of our shares to be issued pursuant to the acquisition agreement
was determined by negotiation between our company and Look Models and does not
necessarily bear any relationship to Look Models' asset value, net worth or
other established criteria of value and should not be considered indicative of
the actual value of Look Models. Furthermore, neither our company nor Look
Models has obtained either an appraisal of our respective securities or an
opinion that the acquisition is fair from a financial perspective.

We are not incurring any expenses in connection with this offering. The

Legal Fees.................................................. $ 80,000

TOTAL....................................................... $125,500
DILUTION
The difference between the initial public offering price per share of
common stock and the net tangible book value per share after this offering
constitutes the dilution to investors in this offering. Net tangible book value
per share of common stock is determined by dividing our net tangible book value,
which is total tangible assets less total liabilities, by the number of shares
of common stock outstanding.
As of December 31, 2001, our net tangible book value was $91,367 or $0.03
per share of common stock. Excluding the $100,000 proceeds of the offering and
the 1,000,000 shares issued in the offering, our net tangible book value as of
December 31, 2001 was $0 or $0 per share of common stock. Net tangible book
value represents the amount of our total assets, less any intangible assets and
total liabilities. Our net tangible book value (deficit) as of December 31, 2001
on an unaudited pro forma combined basis, taking into account the acquisition of
Look Models, Inc. and issuance of 10,500,000 shares of common stock to Look
Models' present shareholders was $(1,691,712), which represents net liabilities
increased by intangible assets of $104,810, or approximately $(0.13) per share,
based on 13,500,000 outstanding shares of common stock, after consummation of
the transaction and assuming sale of all 1,000,000 shares pursuant to this
offering. The result will be an immediate reduction in net tangible book value
of $0.13 per share to our present shareholders and an immediate decrease of
$0.23 per share to the public investors on a post-offering basis and post-merger
basis assuming 1,000,000 shares of our common stock are sold pursuant to this
offering.

The tables are based upon the potential acquisition of Look Models, the
possible issuance of 10,500,000 shares of common stock to present Look Models
stockholders, the total issued and outstanding shares being equal to 13,500,00
and the assumptions that 100% of our 1,000,000 shares of common stock are sold
in this offering.
TERMS OF THE SECURITIES PURCHASE AGREEMENT
The terms of our acquisition of Look Models are set forth in a securities
purchase agreement, dated July 25, 2001, by and among us, our founding
stockholders, Look Models International, Inc. and the stockholders of Look
Models International, Inc.
The agreement includes the following terms:
o All issued and outstanding shares of common stock of Look Models shall be
exchanged for an aggregate of 10,500,000 of our shares of common stock, in
proportion to the holdings of the Look Models stockholders. In addition,
our founding stockholders will transfer to Wolfgang Schwarz, 1,000,000 of
their shares. The former stockholders of Look Models will own 11,500,000
shares of our common stock representing 85.2% of the combined entity.
o Our founders will transfer a portion of their shares to the following
parties in consideration of various services. R. Scott Barter acted as a
finder for this transaction. The founders will transfer 125,000 shares of
their founders' stock to him. Mr. Barter will be given the opportunity to
purchase 125,000 units in our offering. Jack Rubinstein will act as advisor
to the company in respect to locating key executives and strategic
alliances as well as in the provision of product marketing advice. The
founders will transfer 125,000 shares of their founders' stock to him. Mr.
Rubinstein will be given the opportunity to purchase 125,000 units in our
offering. Richard Cohen will act as an advisor to the company in connection
with the management and marketing expertise gained from his business
experience, including but not limited to his service as the former
president of General Media, Inc. The founders will transfer 125,000 shares
of their founders' stock to him. He will be given the opportunity to
purchase 125,000 units in our offering.
o Look Models has funded our counsel's legal fees in connection with this
post-effective registration statement. In consideration of all prior legal
services Mrs. Corvino has rendered to our company, including the
preparation of our last post-effective amendment, and in lieu of additional
cash compensation, our founders have awarded her 125,000 shares of their
common stock. If the acquisition is ratified, our stockholders will give
her the opportunity to purchase 125,000 of their units in our offering.
Effect on current management
We will pay no fees or other compensation to present management or our
affiliates nor have we entered into or intend to enter into any understandings
for any future arrangements that will result in income for current management or
our affiliates. None of our management or directors will be a part of Look
Models' management or its board. No person associated with our company will
receive any form of compensation for the acquisition transaction. Although no
assurances can be given, our board of directors believes that our acquisition of
Look Models represents a good investment opportunity.
Accounting Treatment
Although we are the parent corporation, for accounting purposes, our
acquisition of Look Models is treated as the acquisition of us by Look Models.
This is known as a reverse acquisition and a recapitalization of Look Models.
Look Models is the acquirer for accounting purposes because the former Look
Models stockholders will receive the larger percentage of our common stock and
voting rights than our current stockholders. The fiscal year will remain the
same as both our company and Look Models have the same fiscal year, December 31.
USE OF PROCEEDS
The gross proceeds of this offering if fully subscribed will be $100,000.
The entire proceeds of this offering will be used to pay legal, and a portion of
the accounting fees associated with this offering.
If the offering is fully subscribed, there will be 2,000,000 warrants
outstanding. Upon exercise of these 2,000,000 warrants, Look Models will receive
gross proceeds of $2,000,000. We intend to use 40% of the warrant proceeds to
pay outstanding officer loans and 60% of the warrant proceeds for marketing our
cosmetics and accessory lines. Although Mr. Schwarz is currently owed $812,911,
in order to avoid using company revenue to pay his loan, he has agreed to
postpone payment of this amount until such time as additional money is raised
vis-a-vis the warrant exercises.
PROPOSED BUSINESS
Forward-looking Statements
Certain statements contained under this caption and elsewhere in this
prospectus regarding matters that are not historical facts are forward-looking
statements as defined in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995.
All statements that address operating performance, events or developments that
our management or the management of Look Models expects to incur in the future,
including statements relating to sales and earnings growth or statements
expressing general optimism about future operating results, are forward-looking
statements. These forward-looking statements are based on Look Models
management's current views and assumptions regarding future events and operating
performance. Many factors could cause actual results to differ materially from
estimates contained in these forward-looking statements. The differences may be
caused by a variety of factors, including, but not limited to, adverse economic
conditions, competitive pressures, inadequate capital, unexpected costs, lower
revenues or net income, the possibility of fluctuation and volatility of our
operating results and financial condition, inability to carry out marketing and
sales plans and loss of key executives, among other things.
History of our company and of the transaction
We were organized on September 28, 1999 as a blank check company, which is
essentially a vehicle to pursue a business combination. We offered our
securities to the public pursuant to Rule 419 and closed our offering, raising
proceeds of $100,000 on July 27, 2000. After we closed our offering, we located
Sky E-Com, a company our management believed to be a suitable acquisition
target, entered into an agreement to acquire it and filed a post-effective
registration statement documenting the transaction. However, after receiving
comment from the Securities and Exchange Commission that Sky E-Com was an
unsuitable target as it might not be considered to be an operating business, we
terminated the transaction. After this transaction was terminated, our officers
and directors continued their search for an acquisition candidate. In early July
2001, we learned of an international modeling agency that was seeking to be a
public company. Negotiations were commenced and a securities purchase agreement
between the parties was signed on July 25, 2001. None of our officers or
directors had any preliminary contact or discussions with any representative of
Look Models regarding a business combination until subsequent to the close of
our offering.
Rule 419 requires that we complete an acquisition within eighteen months of
the effective date of our registration statement. As we were unable to complete
an acquisition within this time frame, we were required to refund the balance of
our escrow account to our investors. In accordance with Rule 419, we utilized
10% of the proceeds of our offering ($10,000) for expenses relating to updating
our financial statements, and preparing our first post-effective amendment.
Pursuant to our escrow agreement with Chittenden Bank, we have advised
Chittenden to refund the balance of our escrow agent to our investors, and
Chittenden Bank has advised us that it has done so.
Employees
We presently have no employees. Look Models has twenty-six (26) total
employees, of which twenty three (23) are full time employees and three (3) are
freelance.
Facilities
We are presently using the office of our President, Barney Magnusson, at no
cost, as our office, an arrangement which we expect to continue until the
consummation of our acquisition of Look Models. We presently do not own any
equipment, and do not intend to purchase or lease any equipment prior to the
consummation of the acquisition.
Look Models does not own any real estate, but has a protected lease on its
offices in Vienna pursuant to Austrian law. As a result, Look Models has an
indefinite leasehold. Look Models owns and leases sophisticated computer and
graphic production equipment for photo shoots, Internet activities, and events.
It owns other personal property and business furniture in its business premises.
Description of the Business of Look Models International, Inc.
Business Development:
In 1979, Mr. Wolfgang Schwarz, president, chief executive officer and
chairman of the board of Look Models International, Inc. and its subsidiaries,
launched a series of European contests for models using the name "The face of
the 80's". In 1986 he started the Look of the Year contest in Austria and
Hungary, and achieved considerable success with that concept. In 1986, he formed
an Austrian company under the name Wolfgang Schwarz Sport- und
Kultwveranstaltungen GmbH, Vienna. This company later changed its name to Look
Eventmanagement GmbH, and is now a wholly owned subsidiary of Look Models
International. In 1987, Mr. Schwarz established the first Eastern European
modeling agency in Hungary using the name "The Girls and Boys", which also
became a market leader. In 1989, Mr. Schwarz and John Casablancas of the Elite
Modeling Agency in New York, one of the leading model agencies in the world,
agreed to develop the Look of the Year contest in 15 countries in Central and
Eastern Europe. It has been an extremely successful business initiative for Mr.
Schwarz, and since 1993, Look has become the large supplier of new faces to the
modeling world.
From 1994 to the present, Mr. Schwarz has built Look Models into a
prestigious European contest platform and modeling agency, while continuing to
discover and promote new faces. He has helped discover top models like Teresa
Maxova, Nina Moric, Svetlana, Tatjana Dragovic and others, and has launched the
careers of many others. Look Models currently represents high profile models,
such as Naomi Campbell, Linda Evangelista, Karolina Kurkova and Viera
Shottertova in Europe, as well as many rising stars. Mr. Schwarz has formed
several affiliated companies through which he operates the following businesses:
o a modeling agency,
o a talent scout and talent development business,
o a promotional event management and event licensing business, and
o a product development and distribution business.
The corporate structure of Look Models International and its affiliates is
as follows:
-----------------------------------------

Look Models International, Inc. is a holding company that was organized
under the laws of the State of Delaware on June 12, 2000. On September 26, 2000,
Look Models acquired all the issued and outstanding stock of Fordash Holdings
Ltd., a Bahamian holding company organized in July 1999 and 100% owner of all
Look Models affiliates. The interests of Fordash are wholly owned by Monti
Fiduciaria S.A., in trust for Wolfgang Schwarz. As originally intended, Mr.
Schwarz wanted an equity partner who would share in the company's operations,
fund-raising and management. Mr. Schwarz anticipated that Look Models would be
used as the vehicle to accomplish this goal, that the interests would be divided
up and that as a bonus, Mr. Schwarz through Fordash would receive an equity
distribution of one million dollars. This transaction was terminated and Mr.
Schwarz extinguished the $1,000,000 payable having determined that it was not in
the best interest of the company to take a distribution at that time. Instead,
the transfer was treated as a recapitalization, as the shareholders of Look
Models acquired all the stock of Fordash. In addition, Mr. Schwarz determined
that a Delaware holding company would be a good vehicle through which to enter
the U.S. equity marketplace.
The remaining elements of the Look Models family of companies are as
follows: Fordash owns all the issued and outstanding stock of Look
Eventmanagement GmbH, an Austrian company organized in 1986 under the name
Wolfgang Schwarz Sport- und Kultwveranstaltungen GmbH, Vienna. Look
Eventmanagement owns all the issued and outstanding stock of two companies, Look
Model Management GmbH, an Austrian company, and Look Model Management spol sro,
a Czech Republic company.
Business of Issuer
- ------------------
Look Models and its subsidiaries operate its business in three segments:
Event Management, Model Management and Product Development and Distribution.
Event Management:
Look Eventmanagement GmbH operates an event management and model scouting
business. It sources new models and organizes model search and contest events.
These events are sponsored by a wide variety of companies, including hotels,
manufacturers and national airlines, such as Hilton Hotels, Timex and Austrian
Airlines and are attended by agents and industry professionals in the hope of
signing on new models. The selected models' contracts are signed through Look
Model Management. In addition to hosting these events itself, Look
Eventmanagement licenses to third parties the right to operate these events, and
obtains a license fee and continued royalties pursuant to such licenses.
During 1999 and 2000, the company decided to create brand awareness for the
"Look" name, its products, and its business model. Accordingly, Look
Eventmanagement organized national and international model search and contest
events. Initially, the company funded all these events itself, in order to
enhance its reputation and build its brand. Look Models intends to generate
continued revenue from these relationships by entering into licensing agreements
and sponsorship deals.
The structure of a licensing deal is that Look Eventmanagement is paid an
initial licensing fee between $15,000 and $50,000 and retains a portion of the
revenue generated from sponsors of the events. Examples of companies that have
sponsored Look Eventmanagement events include:
NOKIA PROCTOR & GAMBLE
LUMENE ABSOLUT
CASINOS AUSTRIA DINERS CLUB
DIVA PEUGEOT
PEEK & CLOPPENBURG CASALL
HABARI SONY MUSIC
BMG MANGO
CHRYSLER CORPORATION MERCEDES BENZ
LUFTHANSA L'OREAL
REPLAY INTERCONTINENTAL HOTELS
SHIMAN PLANET HOLLYWOOD
UNILEVER LE MERIDIEN
LAUDA-AIR CHAMPAGNE POMMERY
MARBERT AUSTRIAN AIRLINES
WARSTEINER MARTINI
OIL OF OLAY MARRIOTT HOTEL
PANTENE LEVI STRAUSS AND COMPANY
HILTON HOTELS HOLIDAY INN
ELIZABETH ARDEN
In the event marketing, licensing and sponsorship businesses, Look Models
targets companies with expertise in event marketing, and is focusing its efforts
to sign up licensees in major European markets. In 2001, Look Models through
Look Eventmanagement targeted several countries in which it will seek to develop
strategic licensing relationships, including Germany, Slovakia, Czech Republic,
Hungary, Turkey, Greece, Portugal, Sweden, Russia, Luxemburg, Romania and the
Baltic nations. Look Models also intends to solicit franchises in these
countries for the Look and Catwalk branded products. In addition, the event
management company is designing a new, worldwide Internet oriented model contest
in order to further generate revenues through licenses and sponsorship fees.
The model search and contest process also provides Look Models with a
steady stream of young models that join its portfolio of faces for future
placement.
Model Management:
Look Model Management GmbH ("Look Model Management") operates a model
agency in Austria, while Look Model Management spol sro operates a model agency
in the Czech Republic ("LMM Czech"). Look Models also operates offices in
Bratislava, Slovakia and Belgrade, Yugoslavia and has operations in other
European countries, including Turkey, Croatia, Poland, and Romania. These
companies contract with models and place them at other agencies around the world
as well as directly with clients, such as public relations firms, cosmetics and
clothing companies, consumer goods companies, airlines, and so forth.
Other clients of modeling agencies typically include the following:
o Advertising companies / agencies;
o Photographers and Production Agencies;
o Designers;
o Fashion Event Organizers;
o Media;
o Film and Video Production Companies (Commercials).
Currently, Look Models through Look Model Management and LMM Czech has
contracted with approximately 250 models worldwide. Look Models currently
represents high profile models, such as Naomi Campbell, Linda Evangelista,
Karolina Kurkova and Viera Schottertova in Europe, and, although no assurance
can be given, expects to continue to offer services to such high profile,
established models. In addition, Look Models strategy, through Look Model
Management is to invest in the future of young models in the hope that it will
benefit when these models develop in their careers. However, no assurance can be
given that Look Models will ever receive a return on its investment in a
significant number of its models due to a variety of factors, such as changing
consumer tastes, personal difficulties of the models, emotional inability to
perform in the modeling world, lack of modeling assignments, economic downturns,
more affordable replacements for models.
The revenue from the model management business is derived primarily from
Austria, which is a relatively small market. Additionally, there are some
international bookings that supplement the Austrian revenue. The model
management business bears the cost, however, of the Prague, Warsaw, Budapest,
Belgrade, Istanbul and Bratislava offices, as these offices are formation
centers that develop local model talent until these local models are ready to
work internationally. The revenue that Look generates from its modeling agencies
generally mirrors the following formula, which is industry standard: For every
booking, the modeling agency that has the rights to the model's activities and
promotion the "mother agency") receives 45%; 25% from the model and 20% from the
clients for direct bookings. If a model is placed with a partner or affiliated
agency, the "mother company" usually receives 10% for national and 20% for
international campaigns. With the business model that Look Models is now
pursuing, Look Models revenue will be maximized through increased Internet
booking of these models, which Look Models believes will provide it with a an
even greater return than that paid by outside agencies. Look Models also plans
to acquire agencies in the so-called "large" markets, such as London, New York,
Paris, and Munich, to name a few. These acquisitions will allow Look Models to
place its home grown models in international agencies it owns, thereby
generating larger fees.
Look Models is currently constructing what it believes to be the first
Internet portal with a software that will guarantee worldwide bookings online.
The web-site is located at www.link2look.com. Look Models intends to use its
portal web-site aggressively and, while no assurance can be given, believes that
this global booking structure is the future of the business. Nina Ricci, Paris,
Grey Germany, and NEWPORT News USA, are a few clients that have already taken
advantage of utilizing Look Models' new software.
In addition, part of Look Models' business plan is to form, acquire and/or
develop strategic relationships with other model agencies in the world's top
markets. Look Models believes that combined with its Internet booking services,
such acquisitions will give it an increased share of the global marketplace.
Licensing.
Look Models has licensed the use of its name to a restaurant, known as the
"Look Bar". In addition to filing trademark applications to extend its trademark
protection to the name "Look Bar", Look Models has protected the use of its name
and image by Look Bar through a License Agreement. The license for the use of
the name "Look Bar" provides Look Models with an annual license fee. The license
fee, currently 7,267EUR is subject to increase in successive years.
Product Development and Distribution:
Look Models is currently developing a line of cosmetic products, lingerie
and accessories under the brand names "Look" and "Catwalk" aimed at the young
female market worldwide. Look Models works with Uli Petzold, an internationally
renowned designer who is a director of Look Models, in the creation of these
products. Look Models has applied much of its 1999, 2000 and 2001 revenues to
finance its product line and web site development, as management believes this
is a good investment in future revenue production. Look Models has already
developed perfume, eau de toilette, body milk, body splash and perfume
towelettes and has produced 35,000 units of the fragrance and cream products,
and 500,000 promotional perfume towelettes. These products are being distributed
by Douglas Parfumerie, an exclusive purveyor of fragrances and cosmetics that
has approximately 800 locations in Europe, and one store in the US, located at
Grand Central Station in New York. To date, the Look Models and Catwalk branded
products can be found in three countries, Austria, Czech Republic and Slovakia.
By the end of this year, these products should also be available in Turkey. To
date the company has sold more than 7,000 units of fragrance and cream, and
150,000 towelettes.
Look Models believes that it has developed products with superior
ingredients, sophisticated packaging, and innovative characteristics. While no
assurances can be given, Look Models believes that its products will generate
substantial revenue. It is currently developing aromatherapy, sunscreen, and
what it believes to be very trendy items oriented towards the modeling industry.
This division is developing lingerie, outfits for sports and leisure, swimsuits,
beachwear, travel and cosmetics bags, and other items that it believes models
favor and that will be desirable to the young female population. Look Models has
developed four sample collections of "cult items" such as leather jackets, caps,
model backpacks, workout outfits and lingerie. However, this collection is not
yet in production and Look Models has entered into no contract for their
distribution.
On November 15, 2001, Look Models entered into a five year, renewable
International Production and Distribution Agreement with Dialpack, Inc., a
German corporation, pursuant to which it has obtained, among other things, the
worldwide right to promote and distribute a patented cosmetics dispenser under
our Look Models and Catwalk labels. Look Models will also act as Dialpack's
exclusive distributor in Eastern Europe for all uses of the product and in North
America for specific model-related uses. The product is a two cartridge
dispenser that can adjust the amount of filler dispensed from each cartridge
with the turn of a dial. Look Models intends to distribute a line of suncreen
products that can deliver any range of sun protection factor (SPF) by dialing
the front of the container. It also anticipates distributing a foundation makeup
that can range in shade according to a turn of the dial. As a result of the
agreement with Dialpack, Look Models has entered into a three-year Product
Distribution Agreement on December 5, 2001 with Models Prefer, Inc., a
Connecticut corporation. Under this agreement, Look has granted exclusive U.S.
distribution rights for the distribution of a moisturizing make up, or other
such products, in the Dialpack dispenser so long as it meets pre-set milestones.
Models Prefer anticipates marketing its products over televised distribution
channels, such as QVC. In addition, under the terms of the Product Distribution
Agreement, Look Models is guaranteed minimum purchases of the dispenser, which
are expected to generate revenues to Look Models of approximately $575,000.00,
$900,000.00, and $1.2 million over each of the three years ending November 30,
2002, 2003 and 2004, respectively. In addition, the exclusivity provision of
this agreement provides that the above revenues will double in the event that
Models Prefer exercises its exclusivity rights.
The company also intends to build value in its brand names so that it can
license its brand name to other manufacturing and distribution companies. Look
Models may form a wholly owned subsidiary to conduct these operations.
Distribution methods of the products or services
- ------------------------------------------------
Through Look Eventmanagement, a scouting network is utilized to source and
contract with the models. Look Eventmanagement's employee's and independent
contractors travel to various events to find new models. They call, write and
meet with various companies to sponsor these events and to license the right to
hold Look Model contests.
Look Models presently distributes its cosmetic products through Douglas
Parfumerie. It will seek the services of other distributors as well as use its
in-house staff and its president to market its products to large cosmetic
companies, department stores and catalogue companies.
Look Modelmanagement booking agents use phone, fax, in person meetings and
the Internet to place models with other agencies as well as directly with
clients.
Look Models also anticipates utilizing its web-site as a distribution tool
to market is products as well as place its models.
Look Models also intends to build value in its brand names in order to
build sales and attract sponsors and licensees. Its model contests have been
televised in Turkey and it has staged press events such as large outdoor runway
presentations in Vienna to launch its products.
Competition
We face intense competition with respect to marketing our own brand of
fragrance, cosmetic items and health and beauty aid products. We compete with
major health and beauty aid companies, as well as fragrance and cosmetic
companies who have well-established product lines, spend large sums for
advertising and marketing and have far greater financial and other resources
than we do. We also compete with these companies for shelf space and product
placement in various retail outlets. The distribution of health and beauty aid
products is also extremely competitive. We compete with pharmaceutical
wholesalers that carry health and beauty aid products, as an accommodation for
their customers. Many of these wholesalers have greater financial and other
resources than we do. We believe that we compete on the basis of our development
of a superior line of products that will be marketed to the young female market
worldwide as the type of products models prefer. In addition, we believe that
the innovative and patented Dialpack product will generate much interest and
substantial revenue.
The apparel industry is highly competitive and fragmented, and is subject
to rapidly changing consumer demands and preferences. We believe that our
success will depend in large part upon our ability to anticipate, gauge and
respond to changing consumer demands and fashion trends in a timely manner and
upon the appeal to consumers of the Look and Catwalk brand image. We will
compete with numerous apparel manufacturers and distributors and several
well-known designers. Many of our competitors have greater financial resources
than we do. Although the level and nature of competition differ among our
product categories, we believe that we will compete on the basis of our brand
image, quality of design, workmanship and product assortment.
The modeling business is highly competitive, globalized and fragmented, and
is also subject to changing demands and preferences. In the modeling industry,
there is a low capital requirement to begin operations, and consequently Look
Models has estimated that there are over twelve thousand (12,000) modeling
agencies worldwide. There is a high cost to the clients for use of models, and
the fixed costs tend to be uniform worldwide. There is often little loyalty
between models and agencies, and reputation and local connections are some of
the key factors that distinguish agencies. Look Models believes that its
reputation has earned it much model loyalty. In addition, its model contest and
scouting network have resulted in a stream of new talent for its modeling
agencies. Look is the top modeling agency in Austria, the Czech Republic,
Slovakia and Yugoslavia based on its reputation, model loyalty, and ability to
place its models all around the world. Look Models methods of competition
include, its scouting network, its unique Internet booking system, as well as
what it considers its leverage on its reputation and loyalty of its models.
Sources and availability of raw materials
- -----------------------------------------
Look Models relies on its scouting network to source new faces and contract
with these models. Look Models believes it has great reach and influence in
terms of attracting modeling talent from the Eastern Block countries, which
forms the basis of its new model intake, and a large part of the current trend
in the industry.
We source products through numerous suppliers. We seek to achieve the most
efficient means for timely delivery of our high quality products.
We do not own any production equipment. The products we distribute are
manufactured and supplied by independent foreign and domestic companies. Many of
these companies also manufacture and supply health and beauty aid products,
fragrances and cosmetics for many of our competitors. We purchase our cosmetics
and fragrances products from manufacturers selected by our creative director
based on best price and terms through XODESIGNGROUP, a company with which Mr.
Petzold was formerly associated. We purchase the patented two cartridge
dispensers we will now distribute from Dialpack, Inc. We are presently sourcing
manufacturers of our clothing and accessory line.

statements. These forward-looking statements are based on Look Models
management's current views and assumptions regarding future events and operating

estimates contained in these forward-looking statements. The differences may be
caused by a variety of factors, including, but not limited to, adverse economic
conditions, competitive pressures, inadequate capital, unexpected costs, lower
revenues or net income, the possibility of fluctuation and volatility of our

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
- -------------------------------------------
The discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of
operations are based upon our consolidated financial statements, which have been
prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the
United States. The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make
estimates and judgments that affect our reported assets, liabilities, revenues
and expenses, and our related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities.
On an on-going basis, we evaluate our estimates, including those related to
revenue recognition, bad debts, intangible assets and income taxes.
We believe the following critical accounting policies and the related judgments
and estimates affect the preparation of our consolidated financial statements.
We recognize revenue when it is earned and record accounts receivable at
that time. We do not account for revenue based on contractual arrangements in
advance of their being earned.
We maintain allowances for doubtful accounts for estimated losses resulting
from the inability of our customers to make required payments. If the financial
condition of our customers were to deteriorate, resulting in an impairment of
their ability to make payments, additional allowances may be required which
would result in an additional general and administrative expense in the period
such determination was made.
We do not have any of the following:
o Off-balance sheet arrangements.
o Certain trading activities that include non-exchange traded contracts
accounted for at fair value. o Relationships and transactions with persons
or entities that derive benefits from any non-independent relationships
other than related party transactions discussed herein.
Overview of our Business
- ------------------------
GENERAL
- -------
Look Models operates a model management and event management business. Look
Models is also distributing in Europe, perfume, eau de toilette, sunscreen, body
milk and body splash products under the name "Catwalk." Furthermore, Look Models
also distributes, pursuant to a Distribution Agreement with Dialpack, a German
corporation, Dialpack's patented dispenser. The dispenser is distributed in
Europe, under the names "Catwalk" and "Look", and in the United States the
dispenser is distributed to a Connecticut corporation which sells its products,
under the name "Models Prefer," over the televised shopping channel, QVC.
The model management business mediates models in Vienna, Prague, Warsaw,
Budapest, Belgrade, Istanbul and Bratislava. The revenue from the model
management business is derived primarily from Austria, which is a relatively
small market. Additionally, there are some international bookings that
supplement the Austrian revenue. The model management business bears the cost,
however, of the Prague, Warsaw, Budapest, Belgrade, Istanbul and Bratislava
offices, as these offices are formation centers that develop local model talent
until these local models are ready to work internationally. The revenue that
Look generates from its modeling agencies generally mirrors the following
formula, which is industry standard: For every booking, the modeling agency that
has the rights to the model's activities and promotion the "mother agency")
receives 45%, 25% from the model and 20% from the clients for direct bookings.
If a model is placed with a partner or affiliated agency, the "mother company"
usually receives 10% for a national and 20% for international campaigns. With
the business model that Look Models is now pursuing, Look Models revenue will be
maximized through increased Internet booking of these models, which Look Models
believes will provide it with a an even greater return than that paid by outside
agencies. Look Models also plans to acquire agencies in the so-called "large"
markets, such as London, New York, Paris, and Munich, to name a few. These
acquisitions will allow Look Models to place its home grown models in
international agencies it owns, thereby generating larger fees. Part of the
model management business is a division we call model movement. Model movement
places models with partner agencies around the world. The event management
company is designing a new, worldwide Internet oriented model contest in order
to further generate revenues through licenses and sponsorship fees. We believe
that both model management and model movement will increase their volume though
our Internet portal.
Foreign Exchange Issues
- -----------------------
Foreign currency translation:
- -----------------------------
The financial position and results of operations of the Company's foreign
subsidiaries are measured using local currency as the functional currency. The
functional currency for most foreign operations is the Austrian Schilling, which
was replaced by the Euro in January 2002. Conversion to the Euro is not expected
to have an impact on the Company's financial condition and results of
operations. Revenues and expenses of such subsidiaries have been translated into
U.S. dollars at average exchange rates prevailing during the period. Assets and
liabilities have been translated at the rate of exchange at the balance sheet
date. Translation gains and losses are included in other comprehensive income.
Aggregate foreign currency transaction gains and losses are included in the
results of operations as incurred.

Results of Operations
- ----------------------------------
2001 Compared with 2000
- -----------------------------------
For the period ending December 31, 2001 revenue decreased slightly from the
period ending December 31, 2000, which was up 34% from revenue for 1999. Revenue
at December 31, 2000 was $1,220,841, and revenue at December 31, 2001 was
$1,076,237 (a 12% decrease). The cost of sales of $662,601, for the period
ending December 31, 2001, is significantly lower than the cost of sales of
$839,754 in the period ending December 31, 2000. The reduction in cost of sales
is due to Look Models' cost reductions and overhead controls. Accordingly, there
was a considerable increase in Look Models' gross margin for the period ending
December 31, 2001. Specifically, the gross margin for the period ending December
31, 2000 was $381,087, or 31%, but, for the period ending December 31, 2001, the
gross margin was $413,636,or 38%. Selling expenses for the period ending
December 31, 2001, as compared to the selling expenses for the period ending
December 31, 2000 show a decrease from $483,378 to $430,375, or 11%.
Administrative expenses increased slightly in 2001 compared to those of 2000.
Administrative expenses were $1,503,701 in 2000, and were $1,648,951 in 2001, a
10% increase. This is because of the additional expenses and costs incurred by
Look Models in preparing for this transaction, and in upgrading its accounting
and financial controls, and its staffing in Europe and the United States. Look
Models also increased spending on its website development, and on the LOOK MODEL
SEARCH International Final, a signature event in the model search business. Look
Models posted a net loss for the period ending December 31, 2001 of $1,725,950.
The net loss for 2001 showed an incremental increase of 2.7% over the net loss
in 2000 of $1,680,438.
While Look Models did post a net loss in 2001, such loss was in part
attributable to non-recurring expenses. The loss in 2001 can be divided into a
loss from U.S. operations, and a loss from European operations. The loss in 2001
from U.S. operations was $1,072,958, while the loss from European operations was
$652,992. The U.S. operations are those of the holding company, which received
funds from non U.S. investors and dispensed funds to its European subsidiaries
for working capital purposes, and paid obligations to both U.S. and non-U.S.
vendors, primarily in satisfaction of transaction based, non-recurring expenses.
Other than the distribution of products to Models Prefer, Ltd. ("Models Prefer")
there are no operations currently being conducted in the U.S. Of the loss from
U.S. operations, approximately $750,000 can be characterized as non-recurring
expenses because it is comprised of the following: (i) the legal and other
professional fees incurred for this transaction, (ii) salaries to employees in
Look Models' London office, an office that is no longer in existence, and (iii)
salary to Look Models' president and majority shareholder, who has agreed to
forgo salary in 2002 until such time as profitable operations or future equity
transactions or capital from redemption of outstanding warrants provide Look the
ability to incur his salary in accordance with his employment agreement. The
loss from operations in Europe of $652,992 was marginally higher in 2001 than it
was in 2000. In 2000 the net loss from Europe was $584,932. The 2001 loss from
U.S. operations of approximately $750,000 is lower than the 2000 loss from U.S.
operations of $1,095,506. This is a positive indication for Look Models, as the
U.S. operating losses include the significant non-recurring expenses.
Look Models believes that it is moving toward profitability, and plans to
attain profitability and meet cash flow needs going forward by:
(i) The Product Distribution Agreement with Models Prefer will generate
guaranteed net revenues of $575,000 for 2002. This is because the Product
Distribution Agreement provides for minimum purchase guarantees of
$1,150.000 in 2002. Look Models has a profitability ratio of 50% for this
product, resulting in minimum net revenue for the year of $575.000. Models
Prefer has already placed its first two guaranteed minimum purchase orders,
and has made two payments pursuant to the agreement totaling $375,000. Look
Models believes these orders by Models Prefer signal an obligation by
Models Prefer to honor its commitments under the Product Distribution
Agreement.
(ii) The President and majority shareholder of Look Models has made a firm
commitment to fund up to one-quarter (1/4) of the operating expenses of
Look Models for 2002, if required.
(iii)The fourth quarter of 2001 showed remarkable growth for Look Models. Look
Models posted sales in the fourth quarter of 2001 of $500,000,
approximately the same revenue as Look Models produced in the first three
(3) quarters of 2001 combined. The fourth quarter of 2001 was exceptionally
strong, indicating a move towards profitability. In fact, as a stand-alone
comparison, Look Models' sales in the fourth quarter of 2001, were
virtually at the Company's break even point. Most significantly, Look
Models believes that it can meet its cash operating requirements going
forward using the guaranteed payments from Models Prefer, Ltd. under the
Product Distribution Agreement, and its president and majority
shareholder's commitment to fund up to one quarter (1/4) of Look Models'
annual operating expenses for 2002.
(iv) Eliminating non-recurring expenses. See Liquidity and Capital Resources,
below.
(v) Eliminating non-cash charges, such as payment in stock for services
rendered to Look Models.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
- -------------------------------
Working Capital, Debt and Liquidity.
- ------------------------------------
Although Look Models had a shareholders' deficit as of December 31, 2001,
of $1,678,269, Look Models believes that it will have the capital resources for
the next twelve (12) months in order to operate its business due to:
(1) Distribution Agreement. The revenue expected from the Product Distribution
Agreement Look Models entered into with Models Prefer, Ltd.
(2) Funding Commitment. The commitment from its President and majority
shareholder to fund up to one-quarter (1/4) of Look Models' annual
operating expenses for the 2002 financial year,
(3) Non-Recurring Expenses. The fact that approximately $750,000 of the 2001
net loss is attributable to one-time non-recurring expenses incurred in the
US, and attributable to the transaction with Kingsgate, as well as the
following:
(i) There are several trends and events that have, or are reasonably
likely to have, a material impact on Look Models' short-term or
long-term liquidity.
Look Models is currently negotiating to obtain financing from a
private equity fund. This funding is intended to increase both the
short-term, and the long-term liquidity position of Look Models. Look
Models intends to use this financing for working capital, and to cover
the transaction costs it will incur in the next several months, as
well as to complete an acquisition of a modeling agency in a major
market. (See Planned Acquisitions, below). Look Models believes that
its Internet booking system, as well as the maturity in age of its
models database, and the execution of several pending licensing
transactions will add to its short-term liquidity. Look Models is
attempting to license its "Look" and "Catwalk" brands for franchise
purposes, and to increase the number of licensees of its brands.
Turkey and Russia are two markets where the "Look" brand will be
developed and the "Catwalk" products will be sold. Look Models is not
aware of other known trends, events or uncertainties, other than
general business upswings or downturns that will have a material
impact on its short-term or long-term liquidity.
(ii) Look Models' internal and external sources of liquidity are as
follows:
Externally, Look Models hopes to continue its past strategy of
obtaining funding from the sale of its stock to outside investors,
some of whom are already current shareholders of Look Models.
Internally, Look Models expects to fund its operations from revenues
and acquisitions using stock, and expects to continue its growth in
revenues, while stabilizing its expenses. Look Models has entered into
an International Production and Distribution Agreement with a German
corporation, whereby Look Models has obtained, amongst other things,
the worldwide rights to promote and distribute a patented cosmetics
dispenser under the "Look Models" and "Catwalk" brands, and to
distribute the dispenser in the United States under additional brand
names. Accordingly, Look Models has entered into a three-year Product
Distribution Agreement with Models Prefer, a U.S. company. Pursuant to
this agreement, Look Models has granted distribution rights to Models
Prefer for the distribution of the dispenser over televised
distribution channels. Under the terms of the Product Distribution
Agreement, Look Models is guaranteed certain minimum purchases of the
dispenser, which is expected to generate net revenues to Look Models
of a minimum of $575,000.00, $900,000.00, and $1.2 million, over each
of the three years ending November 30, 2002, 2003 and 2004,
respectively. In addition, the exclusivity provisions of this
agreement provide that the above revenues will double in the event
that Models Prefer Ltd. exercises rights to exclusive supply of the
dispenser in the United States.
(iii)There are several trends and events or uncertainties that have, or
are reasonably likely to have a material impact on Look Models' net
sales or revenues or income from continuing operations:
As discussed elsewhere in this analysis, Look Models expects that its
Internet booking system, the maturity in age of its models database,
and the execution of several pending licensing transactions, as well
as its distribution agreements, will increase its revenues. Look
Models is not aware of other known trends, events or uncertainties,
other than general business upswings or downturns that will have a
material impact on its short-term or long-term liquidity.
(4) Non-Cash Expenses.
-----------------
As reflected in the Statement of Changes in Shareholder's Deficit and
Comprehensive Income there are charges associated with the Kingsgate
transaction and for payments made using stock that are reflected in
the administrative expenses. These charges are one-time charges that
are unlikely to be repeated in successive years. These expenses are
primarily professional and other fees relating to the transaction,
including fees necessary to provide adequate documentation of
international contracts and agreements, developing its licensing and
brand extension business, negotiations with Kingsgate, etc. and
totaled approximately $750,000.
(5) Deferred Repayment.
------------------
The President and majority shareholder of Look Models has deferred
repayment of loans due to him for one (1) year, or until Look Models
returns to profitability, or is successful in securing follow-on
financing.
Net Cash Used in Investing Activities
- -------------------------------------------------------
Look Models has no material commitments for capital expenditures, as it has
already expended the majority of necessary funding in developing its licensing
and brand extension businesses, but Look Models will need working capital to
continue to purchase inventory of dispensers, perfume, eau de toilette and body
splash. Look Models is currently developing a new range of products, and is
attempting to negotiate royalty based contracts with large cosmetic companies
for these products. Look Models also intends to license products under its brand
names, particularly to licensees that will sponsor the LOOK MODEL SEARCH
International Final. Look Models also has commitments to various entities and
individuals for transactional fees, disbursements, professional fees, and other
related costs in conjunction with completing this transaction. These costs are
not expected to exceed $150,000.00, and Look Models intends to partly finance
these expenditures internally from revenue, but primarily, Look Models intends
to use financing and offering proceeds to make such expenditures.
Seasonality
- ----------------
There are seasonable aspects that can have a material effect on the
financial condition or results of operation of Look Models, such as lower demand
during off-season periods. Partially offsetting the seasonality is the fact that
Look Models has a presence in various markets. A slowdown in one market is
sometimes offset by buoyancy in another market, resulting in such fluctuations
having less of an overall effect on Look Models' annual revenue stream.
Business
- --------
Planned Acquisitions
- ----------------------
As Look Models believes it would be more cost effective to acquire existing
agencies in certain markets, rather than to open up new offices in said markets,
Look Models has commenced preliminary discussions for one acquisition, but it
has no formal or advanced plans for an acquisition as of the date of this
filing. Look Models plans to make acquisitions of modeling agencies in some of
the world's modeling centers, such as New York, London, Paris, Milan, and
Munich. Look Models may also seek to purchase companies, or assets that will
benefit, or assist its production and distribution capabilities in its cosmetics
business. Look Models intends to use its stock, in large part, to finance these
acquisitions.
Planned Ventures
- ----------------
Look Models has commenced preliminary discussions with a media company for
a collaboration between the companies for the LOOK MODEL SEARCH International
Final. This collaboration would allow Look Models to have a participating
partner to share the expenses of the event, while maximizing revenue by
increasing visibility of the event through greater media coverage of the event.
Expected Market, Product, Region of Influence
- ----------------------------------------------
Look Models anticipates that its services will continue to be demanded by
many young girls from Eastern Europe seeking to enter the modeling world. Look
Models also anticipates it will be sought out by aspiring models in the Western
world once it has established a presence in one or more major modeling markets.
Look Models currently represents high profile models, such as Naomi Campbell,
Linda Evangelista, Karolina Kurkova and Viera Schottertova in Europe, and
expects to continue to offer services to such high profile, established models.
Another expected market is the development of young models. In the event
marketing, licensing and sponsorship businesses, Look Models targets companies
with expertise in event marketing, and is focusing its efforts to sign up
licensees in major European markets. In 2001 Look Models signed agreements in
Portugal, Germany, Czech Republic, Slovakia, Turkey, Poland, Hungary, Russia,
Yugoslavia, Luxemburg and Romania.
In the cosmetics business, Look Models targets the young female market in
Europe. Look Models hopes to establish a brand name in Europe before launching
its products in the United States. Look Models plans to extend its product line
to develop products that are identified with its models, such as handbags,
accessories, sunglasses, and so forth. Look Models is developing four sample
collections of "cult items" such as leather jackets, caps, model backpacks,
workout outfits and lingerie.
Projected Financial Information and Management
- ----------------------------------------------
Expectation on the Nature of Future Business1
- --------------------------------------------
1. Licenses and Sponsoring:
- ---------------------------
Beginning in 1999 and continuing through 2002, Look Models decided to create
awareness for its brand name, its products, and its business model. Accordingly,
Look Models invested in, and developed partnerships with outside parties for the
purpose of organizing national and international model search events. Initially,
Look Models funded all the model search events itself, in order to develop a
reputation as a leader in the search for new faces. The model search process
also provides Look Models with a steady stream of young models that join Look
Models' portfolio of faces for future placement. Look Models now intends to
generate revenue from these relationships by entering into licensing and
sponsorship deals. In 2002, Look Models will be focusing on exploiting both
existing and new markets, and expects to negotiate licensing and sponsorship
deals.
The structure of a licensing deal is as follows:
Look Models is paid an initial licensing fee of anywhere from $15,000.00 -
$50,000.00 per country, and retains a portion of the revenue from sponsors at
the events.
2. Merchandising:
- ------------------
Look Models has invested heavily in product development and marketing, and
has developed a superior line of products that will utilize its "Look Models",
and its "Catwalk" brands. The products are aimed at the young female market
worldwide. Look Models has developed products with superior ingredients,
sophisticated packaging, and innovative characteristics. The products being
developed are perfume, eau de toilette, body milk, body splash, perfume
towelettes, aromatherapy, sunscreen, and lingerie. Look Models works with Uli
Petzold, an internationally renowned designer who is a director of Look Models,
in the creation of these products. At this time, Look Models' products have a
presence in Austria, the Czech Republic, Slovakia and Turkey.
- --------
1 These notes are arranged by dividing Look Models into its four (4) revenue
producing units.
As discussed above, Look Models has entered into an International
Production and Distribution Agreement with Dialpack, a German corporation,
whereby Look Models has obtained, amongst other things, the worldwide right to
promote and distribute Dialpack's patented cosmetics dispenser under the "Look
Models" and "Catwalk" brands. Further, Look Models has entered into a three-year
Product Distribution Agreement with Models Prefer. Under this agreement Look
Models has granted exclusive distribution rights to Models Prefer for the
distribution of the dispenser over televised distribution channels. Under the
terms of the Product Distribution Agreement, Look Models is guaranteed minimum
purchases of the dispenser, which is expected to generate revenues to Look
Models of approximately $575,000.00, $900,000.00, and $1.2 million over each of
the three years ending November 30, 2002, 2003 and 2004, respectively. In
addition, the exclusivity provision of this agreement provides that the above
revenues will double in the event that Models Prefer exercises its exclusivity
rights.
3. Modeling and licensing:
- --------------------------
Through the acquisition of agencies in major markets, Look Models hopes to
increase its revenue stream. Additionally, due to the fact that several of its
models will be finishing school this year, Look Models expects to add to its
revenue base from these new faces. These models will be able to generate
additional revenue due to the fact that they will have completed their studies.
Without the acquisition of "big market" agencies, Look Models, based upon
historical figures, would expect to increase its revenue by 5% per annum.
4. E-Commerce:
- --------------
Given that this is the first time that a model agency network has built a
fully operating model booking portal, there are no historical figures to use for
revenue projections herein. We believe that the portal will increase revenues
and decrease operating expenses, without taking revenue from the existing
modeling business. The portal will allow Look Models to book models worldwide by
electronic means without interfering with the models' local agency's office and
the current base of operation of the models. As these transactions will be new,
they will not be taking revenue from Look Models' existing modeling business.
Look Models will promote its portal aggressively and believes that this global
booking structure is the future of the business. Nina Ricci Paris, Grey Germany,
and NEWPORT News USA, are a few clients that have already taken advantage of
utilizing Look Models' new software.
The sources of income for the e-commerce division are:
1. Modeling commissions;
2. Portal advertising revenue;
3. Revenue from portal links; and
4. Product sales.
Description of Material Risks and Management's strategy of offset risk
- ----------------------------------------------------------------------
Look Models effectively invests in the future of young models in the hope
that it will benefit when these models develop in their careers. Look Models may
never receive a return on its investment in a significant number of its models
due to a variety of factors, such as changing consumer tastes, personal
difficulties of the models, emotional inability to perform in the modeling
world, lack of modeling assignments, economic downturns, more affordable
replacements for models, to name a few. Look Models also faces the risk that its
models may dishonor contracts they have with the agency, refuse to sign
contracts with the agency, or leave the agency to join another agency. Look
Models plans to issue shares of stock to each of its models as an incentive to
remain with Look Models, and to build loyalty and an ownership mentality in its
models. Additionally, management intends to closely marshal and enforce its
contractual relationships with all its models, and with the outside agencies
with which Look Models shares bookings, and, therefore, fees.
Significant Accounting Policies
- -------------------------------
Stock-based compensation:
- -------------------------
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 123, "Accounting
for Stock-Based Compensation" allows companies to choose whether to account for
employee stock-based compensation on a fair value method, or to account for such
compensation under the intrinsic value method prescribed in Accounting
Principles Board Opinion No. 25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees"
("APB 25"). The Company has chosen to account for employee stock-based
compensation using APB 25.
Segment reporting:
The Company has adopted SFAS No. 131, "Disclosures about Segments of an
Enterprise and Related Information" ("SFAS No. 131"). The Company's results of
operations and financial position were not affected by the implementation of
SFAS No. 131.
Comprehensive income (loss):
SFAS No. 130, Reporting Comprehensive Income, establishes requirements for
disclosure of comprehensive income which includes certain items previously not
included in the statements of operations, including minimum pension liability
adjustments and foreign currency translation adjustments, among others. During
the years ended December 31, 2001 and 2000, comprehensive income represents
foreign currency translation adjustments.
Recently issued accounting standards:
- -------------------------------------
In June 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued SFAS No 133,
"Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities". This statement,
as amended, is effective for fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2000.
Currently, Look Models does not have any derivative financial instruments and
does not participate in hedging activities. Therefore, management believes that
SFAS No 133 will not impact Look Models' consolidated financial statements.
In July 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued SFAS
No. 141, "Business Combinations", and SFAS No. 142, "Goodwill and Other
Intangible Assets". SFAS No. 141 requires that the purchase method of accounting
be used for all business combinations initiated after June 30, 2001. Use of the
pooling-of-interests method will be prohibited on a prospective basis only. SFAS
No. 142 changes the accounting for goodwill from an amortizations method to an
impairment-only approach. Look Models is currently evaluating the impact that
the adoption of the SFAS No. 141 and SFAS No. 142 will have on its financial
condition and results of operations.
In August 2001, the FASB issued SFAS No. 144, "Accounting for the
Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets", which addresses accounting and
financial reporting for the impairment or disposal of long-lived assets. This
statement is effective for Look Models on January 1, 2002. Look Models does not
expect that adoption of this standard will have a material effect on its results
of operations or financial position.
In December 1999, the staff of the Securities and Exchange Commission
issued Staff Accounting Bulletin ("SAB") No 101, "Revenue Recognition in
Financial Statements". SAB No 101, as amended by SAB No 101A and SAB No 101B,
was effective no later than the fourth fiscal quarter of fiscal years beginning
after December 15, 1999. SAB No 101 provides the Staff's view in applying
generally accepted accounting principles to selected revenue recognition issues.
The Company believes that it complies with the accounting and disclosure
described in SAB No 101.
Synopsis of Kingsgate Transaction:
- ----------------------------------
Pursuant to a Securities Purchase Agreement dated July 25, 2001, (the
"Purchase Agreement") Look Models' shareholders have agreed to sell all of their
outstanding shares of common stock to Kingsgate Acquisitions, Inc., a Delaware
corporation ("Kingsgate"). As a result of the Purchase Agreement, all
shareholders of Look Models will become shareholders of Kingsgate. On the
effective date of the Purchase Agreement, Look Models' shareholders will
exchange all of their shares of Look Models common stock for 10,500,000 shares
of the common stock of Kingsgate, in proportion to the holdings of its
shareholders. In addition, Look Models' management will receive 1,000,000 shares
of Kingsgate common stock from the stockholders of Kingsgate. As of this filing
Look Models' shareholders, thereby, will own 11,500,000 of the 12,500,000 issued
and outstanding shares of Kingsgate, or 92% of Kingsgate. After the successful
completion of the offering herein, Look Models will own 11,500,000 shares of the
13,500,000 issued and outstanding shares of Kingsgate, or 85.2% of Kingsgate.

will be appointed to our board of directors.
Below are the biographies of the officers and directors of Look Models:
Wolfgang Schwarz, 49 - Chief Executive Officer, President, Chairman of the
Board and Treasurer of Look Models and its subsidiaries: Mr. Schwarz is an
Austrian entrepreneur. In 1974, after a short modeling and acting career, he
founded a modeling agency called "The Girls and Boys", which became the dominant
force in the industry in Austria, where it commanded a 75% share of the local
market. The Girls and Boys thereafter expanded its business activities to
Germany. In 1979, Mr. Schwarz launched a series of European contests for models
using the name "The face of the 80's". In 1986 he started the Look of the Year
contest in Austria and Hungary, and achieved considerable success with that
concept. In 1986, he formed an Austrian company under the name Wolfgang Schwarz
Sport- und Kultwveranstaltungen GmbH, Vienna. This company later changed its
name to Look Eventmanagement GmbH, and is now a wholly owned subsidiary of Look
Models International. In 1987, Mr. Schwarz established the first eastern
European modeling agency in Hungary using the name "The Girls and Boys", which
also became a market leader. In 1989, Mr. Schwarz and John Casablancas of the
Elite Modeling Agency in New York, one of the leading model agencies in the
world, agreed to develop the Look of the Year contest in 15 countries in Central
and Eastern Europe. It has been an extremely successful business initiative for
Mr. Schwarz, and since 1993, Look has been a large supplier of new faces to the
modeling world. From 1994 to the present, Mr. Schwarz has built Look Models into
a prestigious European contest platform and modeling agency, while continuing to
discover and promote new faces. He has helped discover top models like Teresa
Maxova, Nina Moric, Svetlana, Tatjana Dragovic and others, and has helped launch
the careers of supermodels Naomi Campbell, Linda Evangelista and Karen Mulder in
Europe.
Uli Petzold Age 41, Director and Creative Director was born in Frankfurt
Germany and moved to Nuremberg after obtaining his Abitur. There he completed an
apprenticeship as a furrier in the studios of Marco International. By 1982 he
was designing furs for Ansel & Ansel in Montreal Canada. After Montreal, New
York and Tokyo, he accepted a call from Balenciaga Paris to head the fur
division under the then director of Karl G. Kunert. The two formed a team,
creating collections that were very successful, first and foremost in Japan and
the United States. At the age of 27, Uli Petzold opened an atelier in the Avenue
Victor Hugo, Paris and designed his own apparel lines under the label Petzold
Paris. At the same time, he also opened for his German customers a studio in Bad
Homburg. A contract with Jindo International to become a chief designer of the
European Division took him back to Asia. Back to Europe, he designed a Petzold
women's wear collection that the garment manufacturer Wiedekind licensed in
place of Daniel Hechter Paris. Parallel to the stepwise development and
extension of his own design company in Germany and USA, he ran a Petzold store
under franchise in Germany. Later, Mr. Petzold designed the trend collection for
a period of five seasons for AKZO, wrote copy for his own column in the Italian
fashion press "Nella Moda di Uli Petzold", and received (as the only German) the
"Oscar of the Haute Couture" for furs in 1985 and 1986 from the Academy of
Fashion in Turin, Italy. From 1991 to 1993, he headed the international
Terndtables as official trend advisor for prestigious trade fair Interstoff in
Frankfurt.
Since 1995 his personal interests on design changed more and more to
graphic, packaging, industrial and interior design. He stared to create his own
home collection and was hired to design special interest products by the
Ritzenhoff AG. Within a short period of time his name became well known in the
scene. From 1996 to 1997, he was asked by Mercedes Benz AG to design and develop
a new corporate showroom interior. By the end of 1997 the first two branches
were opened in Germany. The design was licensed by Uli Petzold to implement the
concept worldwide. In 1998 he moved back to the USA. Since then he has operated
the creative studios of the XODESIGNGROUP in Frankfurt Germany with his partner
Kay Witte, and in Miami Beach, USA. Currently, Mr. Petzold operates Petzold New

MANAGEMENTENTS
STATEMENT AS TO INDEMNIFICATION
Section 145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law provides for
indemnification of our officers, directors, employees and agents. Under Article
XI of our by-laws, we will indemnify and hold harmless to the fullest extent
authorized by the Delaware General Corporation Law, any of our directors,
officers, agents or employees, against all expense, liability and loss
reasonably incurred or suffered by such person in connection with activities on
our behalf. Complete disclosure of relevant sections of our certificate of
incorporation and by-laws is provided in Part II of the registration statement.
This information can also be examined as described in "Further Information."
We have been informed that in the opinion of the SEC, indemnification for
liabilities arising under the Securities Act, which may be permitted to our
directors, officers or control persons pursuant to our certificate of
incorporation and by-laws is against the public policy as expressed in the
Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable.
MARKET FOR OUR COMMON STOCK
Prior to the date of the prospectus, no trading market for the our common
stock has existed. Pursuant to the requirements of Rule 15g-8 of the Securities
Exchange Act, a trading market will not develop prior to or after the
effectiveness of our post-effective registration statement while certificates
representing the shares of our common stock and warrants which constitute the
units remain in escrow. We can offer no assurance that a trading market will
develop upon the acquisition of the common stock of Look Models and the
subsequent release of the stock and warrant certificates from escrow.
We have retained Public Securities, Inc., Spokane, Washington, a
broker-dealer registered with the NASD, to act as lead market maker for our
units, common stock and warrants and to make application for the listing of our
units, shares of common stock and warrants on the OTC Bulletin Board. No
assurance can be given that our units will be accepted for listing on the OTC
Bulletin Board.
The 2,000,000 shares of our common stock issued to our founding
stockholders are "restricted securities" as that term is defined in the
Securities Act. In a recent letter from the Commission's Division of Small
Business to the NASD, the Commission stated its position that Rule 144 is
inapplicable to founders of blank check companies who transfer securities either
before or after the reconfirmation of an acquisition. However, we believe that
upon the date of consummation of this offering, our company is no longer a blank
check company and the time clock under Rule 144 should commence. In the
alternative, we must register the shares of the founding stockholders, in order
for them to sell their shares of our common stock on the public market.
CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS
We were incorporated in the State of Delaware on September 28, 1999.
Between September 28, 1999 and September 30, 1999, we sold an aggregate of
2,000,000 shares of our common stock to thirteen persons at $.01 per share, for
a total cash consideration of $20,000.
In July 7, 2000, we sold 1,000,000 units at $.10 per unit to investors in
our initial pubic offering. Three of our founding stockholders, Turf Holding
Ltd., Partner Marketing AG and The Pembridge Capital Establishment, purchased
100,000, 100,000 and 60,000 units, respectively, in our initial public offering.
We entered in a securities purchase agreement, which has been since
terminated, to acquire Sky E-Com.
On July 25, 2001, we entered into a securities purchase agreement with Look
Models International, Inc. If the acquisition is ratified, all issued and
outstanding shares of common stock of Look Models shall be exchanged for an
aggregate of 10,500,000 of our shares of common stock, in proportion to the
holdings of the Look Models stockholders. In addition, our founding stockholders
will transfer to Wolfgang Schwarz, 1,000,000 of their shares. The former
stockholders of Look Models will own 11,500,000 shares of our common stock
representing 85.2% of the combined entity assuming all 1,000,000 shares are sold
pursuant to this offering.
PRINCIPAL STOCKHOLDERS
The table on the following page sets forth certain information regarding
the beneficial ownership of our common stock as of the date of the prospectus,
and as adjusted to reflect the acquisition of Look Models. As 10,500,000 shares
of our common stock will be issued to Look Models shareholders, and 1,000,000
shares of founder's stock will be transferred to them, they will initially
receive that number of shares equal to 92% of Kingsgate, or 85.2% assuming all
1,000,000 shares are sold pursuant to this offering.
+ each person who is known by us to own beneficially more than
5% of our outstanding common stock;
+ each of our officers and directors; and
+ all of our directors and officers as a group.

DESCRIPTION OF SECURITIES
Common Stock
We are authorized to issue 45 million shares of common stock, $.001 par
value per share, of which 2,000,000 shares are issued and outstanding. Each
outstanding share of common stock is entitled to one vote, either in person or
by proxy, on all matters that may be voted upon by their holders at meetings of
the stockholders.
Holders of our common stock
+ have equal ratable rights to dividends from funds legally available
therefor, if declared by our board of directors;
+ are entitled to share ratably in all of our assets available for
distribution to holders of common stock upon our liquidation, dissolution
or winding up;
+ do not have preemptive, subscription or conversion rights, or redemption or
sinking fund provisions; and
+ are entitled to one non-cumulative vote per share on all matters on which
stockholders may vote at all meetings of our stockholders.
All shares of our common stock which are part of the units, or which
underlie the warrants, will be fully paid for and non-assessable when issued,
with no personal liability attaching to ownership. You and other holders of
shares of our common stock do not have cumulative voting rights, which means
that the holders of more than 50% of outstanding shares voting for the election
of directors can elect all of our directors if they so choose and, in such
event, the holders of the remaining shares will not be able to elect any of our
directors. At the completion of our acquisition of Look Models, the officers and
directors and other stockholders of Look Models will beneficially own at least
85.2% of the outstanding shares of our common stock and will be in a position to
control all of our affairs.
Preferred Stock
We may issue up to 5,000,000 shares of our preferred stock from time to
time in one or more series. As of the date of the prospectus, we have issued no
shares of preferred stock. Our board of directors, without further approval of
our common stockholders, is authorized to fix the dividend rights and terms,
conversion rights, voting rights, redemption rights, liquidation preferences and
other rights and restrictions relating to any series of our preferred stock.
Issuances of additional shares of preferred stock, while providing flexibility
in connection with possible financings, acquisitions and other corporate
purposes, could, among other things, adversely affect the voting power of the
holders of other of our securities and may, under certain circumstances, have
the effect of deterring hostile takeovers or delaying changes in management
control.
Redeemable Common Stock Purchase Warrants
You and other holders of our warrants which are part of the units may
exercise them for a period of two years commencing on the date of the
prospectus. Each warrant entitles the holder to purchase one share of our common
stock at an exercise price of $1.00. Our common stock underlying the warrants
will, upon exercise of the warrants, be validly issued, fully paid and
non-assessable.
We may redeem our warrants, at any time, for $0.001 per warrant, if we
provide 30 days' prior written notice, if the closing bid price of our common
stock, as reported by the market on which our common stock trades, exceeds $1.25
per share for any twenty consecutive trading days ending within ten days prior
to the date of the notice of redemption. If we are unable to qualify our common
stock underlying the warrants for sale in certain states, holders of the
warrants in those states will have no choice but either to sell their warrants
or allow them to expire.
We have delivered to the escrow agent certificates representing five
warrants for each unit purchased. These certificates have been returned to our
company. The number of warrants for each unit has been reduced to two.
Warrantholders, you may exchange your certificates for new certificates of
different denominations, and you may exercise or sell them. However, we can
offer no assurance that a market in the warrants will develop.
You may exercise your warrants by surrendering the warrant certificate,
with the form of election to purchase printed on the reverse side of the warrant
certificate properly completed and executed, together with payment of the
exercise price, to us or the warrant agent. You may exercise your warrants in
whole or from time to time in part. If you exercise fewer warrants than are
evidenced by a warrant certificate, we will issue a new warrant certificate for
the number of unexercised warrants.
Warrantholders are protected against dilution of the equity interest
represented by the underlying shares of common stock upon the occurrence of
certain events, including stock splits, recapitalizations and the issuance of
stock dividends. If we merge, reorganize or are acquired in such a way as to
terminate the warrants, they may be exercised immediately prior to such action.
In the event of liquidation, dissolution or winding up, holders of the warrants
are not entitled to participate in our assets.
For the life of the warrants, holders are given the opportunity to profit
from a rise in the market price of our common stock. The exercise of the
warrants will result in the dilution of the book value of our common stock at
the time of exercise and would result in a dilution of the percentage ownership
of existing stockholders. The terms upon which we may obtain additional capital
may be adversely affected during the period in which the warrants remain
exercisable. Warrantholders may be expected to exercise them at a time when we
would, in all likelihood, be able to obtain equity capital on terms more
favorable than the exercise price of the warrants.
We may not call the warrants for redemption if there does not exist an
effective registration statement relating to the underlying shares.
Warrantholders may not be able to exercise their warrants if they have not been
qualified for sale under the laws of the state where the warrantholder resides.
A call for redemption could force the warrantholder to accept the redemption
price, which, in the event of an increase in the price of the stock, would be
substantially less than the difference between the exercise price and the market
value at the time of redemption.
Reports to Stockholders
We intend to furnish our stockholders with annual reports containing
audited financial statements as soon as practicable after the end of each fiscal
year. Our fiscal year ends on December 31st.
Dividends
We have only been recently organized, have no earnings and have paid no
dividends. Look Models likewise has not shown positive earnings in the past two
(2) fiscal years, and has paid no dividends. The combined company, in all
likelihood, will use its earnings, if any, to develop its business and does not
intend to declare dividends for the foreseeable future.
Transfer Agent
We have appointed Olde Monmouth Stock Transfer Co., Inc., 77 Memorial
Parkway, Suite 101, Atlantic Highlands, New Jersey 07716 as transfer agent for
our shares of common stock and warrants.
Certain Income Tax Consequences
In our management's opinion, our acquisition of Look Models is intended to
qualify as a "tax-free reorganization" for purposes of the United States federal
income tax so that our stockholders and the stockholders of Look Models subject
to United States taxes will not recognize gain or loss from the transaction. In
addition, the transaction is not intended to result in the recognition of gain
or loss to either us or Look Models in the respective jurisdictions where each
of us is subject to taxation. We have not obtained an opinion of counsel nor a
ruling from the Internal Revenue Service. You should consult your own tax
advisors as to the specific tax consequences of our acquisition.

EXPERTS
Sheila Corvino, Esq., 811 Dorset West Road, Dorset, Vermont is passing upon

offered pursuant to this prospectus.
Our financial statements as of the period ended December 31, 2000 and for
the year ended December 31, 2001 all included in this prospectus and in the
registration statement, and have been so included in reliance upon the reports
of Thomas P. Monahan, independent certified public accountant and upon the
authority of said firm as experts in accounting and auditing.
The audited consolidated financial statements of Look Models International,
Inc. as of December 31, 2001 and for each of the years in the two-year period
then ended included herein and elsewhere in the registration statement have been
audited by Horwath Gelfond Hochstadt Pangburn P.C., independent certified public
accountants, to the extent set forth in their report appearing herein and
elsewhere in this registration statement. Such financial statements have been so
included in reliance upon the report of such firm given upon their authority as
experts in auditing and accounting.
FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
The following are our financial statements, with independent auditor's
report, for the period from inception, September 28, 1999, to December 31, 2000;
audited financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2001, audited
consolidated financial statements of Look Models for the years ended December
31, 1999, 2000, and 2001.
REPORT OF INDEPENDENT AUDITOR
To The Board of Directors and Shareholders
of Kingsgate Acquisitions, Inc. (a development stage company)
I have audited the accompanying balance sheet of Kingsgate Acquisitions,
Inc. (a development stage company) as of December 31, 2001, and the related
statements of operations, changes in stockholders' equity, and cash flows for
the years ended December 31, 2000 and 2001. These financial statements are the
responsibility of the Company's management. My responsibility is to express an
opinion on these financial statements based on my audit.
I conducted my audit in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that I 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 and significant estimates made by
management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.
I believe that my audit provides a reasonable basis for my opinion.
In my opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly,
in all material respects, the financial position of Kingsgate Acquisitions, Inc.
(a development stage company) as of December 31, 2001, and the related
statements of operations, changes in stockholders' equity, and cash flows for
the years ended December 31, 2000 and 2001 in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles.
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that
Kingsgate Acquisitions, Inc. (a development stage company) will continue as a
going concern. As more fully described in Note 2, the Company is a blank check
company that is dependent upon the success of management to successfully
complete a self underwriting and locate a potential business to acquire and may
require additional capital to enter into any business combination. These
conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a
going concern. Management's plans as to these matters are described in Note 2.
The financial statements do not include any adjustments to reflect the possible
effects on the recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts and
classifications of liabilities that may result from the possible inability of
Kingsgate Acquisitions, Inc. (a development stage company) to continue as a
going concern.

KINGSGATE ACQUISITIONS, INC.
(A development stage company)
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
DECEMBER 31, 2001
NOTE 1 - ORGANIZATION AND DESCRIPTION OF THE COMPANY
Kingsgate Acquisitions, Inc. (the "Company"), was organized in Delaware on
September 28, 1999 and is authorized to issue 50,000,000 shares of common stock,
$0.001 par value each and 5,000,000 shares of preferred stock, $0.001 par value
each.
The Company is a "blank check" company which plans to search for a suitable
business to merge with or acquire. Operations since incorporation have consisted
primarily of obtaining capital contributions by the initial investors and
activities regarding the registration of the offering with the Securities and
Exchange Commission.
NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared on a going concern
basis which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of
liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company is a blank check
company that is dependent upon the success of management to successfully
complete a self underwriting and locate a potential business to acquire and may
require additional capital to enter into any business combination. These
conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a
going concern. The Company is dependent upon its ability to have positive cash
flows from operations to sustain any business activity. The Company's future
capital requirements will depend on numerous factors including, but not limited
to, continued progress in completing its self underwritten offering, finding a
business to acquire, completing the process of acquiring the business and
obtaining the needed investment capital and working capital to engage in
profitable operations. The Company plans to engage in such financing efforts on
a continuing basis.
The financial statements presented consist of the balance sheets of the
Company as at December 31, 2000 and 2001 and the related statements of
operations and cash flows and stockholders' equity for the years ended December
31, 2000 and 2001.
F-6
NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
Deferred Offering Costs
As Of December 31, 1999, deferred offering costs aggregating 11,785 were
incurred in anticipation of the Company filing a registration statement pursuant
to Rule 419 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, are being deferred
until the registration is complete.
As of December 31, 2000, the deferred offering costs were charged against
the proceeds a completed offering aggregating $100,000.
Organization Costs, Net
Organization costs are being charged to operations.
Income Taxes
The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with the Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes," which
requires the recognition of deferred tax liabilities and assets at currently
enacted tax rates for the expected future tax consequences of events that have
been included in the financial statements or tax returns. A valuation allowance
is recognized to reduce the net deferred tax asset to an amount that is more
likely than not to be realized. The tax provision shown on the accompanying
statement of operations is zero since the deferred tax asset generated from the
net operating loss is offset in its entirety by a valuation allowance. State
minimum taxes will be expensed as incurred.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents, if any, include all highly liquid debt
instruments with an original maturity of three months or less at the date of
purchase.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
Cash, accounts payable and other current liabilities are recorded in the
financial statements at cost, which approximates fair market value because of
the short-term maturity of those instruments.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and
assumptions that effect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and
disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial
statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the
reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
Significant Concentration of Credit Risk
At December 31, 2001, the Company has a concentration of its credit risk by
maintaining deposits in one bank. The maximum loss that could have resulted from
this risk totaled $-0- which represents the excess of the deposit liabilities
reported by the banks over the amounts that would have been covered by the
insurance.
NOTE 3 - STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY
Common Stock
For the period from inception, September 28, 1999, to December 31, 1999,
the Company sold an aggregate of 2,000,000 shares of common stock to thirteen
investors for an aggregate consideration of $20,000 or $0.01 per share.
In July, 2000, the Company completed an offering for the sale of 1,000,000
units at $.10 per unit or an aggregate offering price of $100,000. Each unit
consists of one share of common stock and five redeemable common stock purchase
warrants.
The Company filed a registration statement with the Securities and Exchange
Commission pursuant to Rule 419. The offering was conducted , on a "best efforts
all-or-none basis" and consisted of 1,000,000 units at $.10 per unit or an
aggregate offering price of $100,000. Each unit consists of one share of common
stock and five redeemable common stock purchase warrants. Each warrant is
exercisable at $1.00 for a period of two years from the effective date of a
registration statement relating to the underlying shares of common stock. The
warrants are redeemable at any time, upon thirty day's written notice, in the
event the average closing price of the common stock is at least $1.25 for a
period of twenty consecutive trading days ending within ten days prior to the
notice of redemption.
As of December 31, 2001, the 1,000,000 shares of common stock were being
held in escrow pending approval of the Company's post-effective amendment by the
Securities and Exchange Commission.
Subsequent to the date of the Balance Sheet, the aggregate of $100,000 less
10% ($10,000) for working capital expenses, as allowed by Rule 419, has been
returned to the shareholders.

NOTE 3 - STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY (continued)
Preferred Stock
Up to 5,000,000 shares of preferred stock may be issued from time to time
in one or more series. The Company's board of directors, without further
stockholder approval, is authorized to fix the dividend rights and terms,
conversion rights, voting rights, redemption rights, liquidation preferences and
other rights and restrictions relating to any such series. Issuances of
additional shares of preferred stock, while providing flexibility in connection
with possible financings, acquisitions and other corporate purposes, could,
among other things adversely affect the voting power of the holders of other
securities and may, under certain circumstances, have the effect of deterring
hostile takeovers or delaying changes in control or management.
The number of shares of preferred stock outstanding at December 31, 2001 is
$-0-.
NOTE 4 - RULE 419 REQUIREMENTS
Rule 419 requires that offering proceeds be deposited into an escrow or
trust account (the "Deposited Funds" and "Deposited Securities",
respectively)governed by an agreement which contains certain terms and
provisions specified by that rule. The Company may and did receive 10% of the
escrowed funds for working capital. The remaining Deposited Funds and the
Deposited Securities will be released to the Company and to the investors,
respectively, only after the Company has met the following three basic
conditions. First, the Company must execute an agreement for an acquisition
meeting certain prescribed criteria. Second, the Company must file a
post-effective amendment to its registration statement which includes the terms
of a reconfirmation offer that must contain conditions prescribed by Rule 419.
The post-effective amendment must also contain information regarding the
acquisition candidate and its business, including audited financial statements.
The agreement must include, as a condition precedent to its consummation, a
requirement that the number of investors who contributed at least 80% of the
offering proceeds must elect to reconfirm their investments. Third, the Company
must conduct the reconfirmation offer and satisfy all of the prescribed
conditions. The post-effective amendment must also include the terms of the
reconfirmation offer mandated by Rule 419. After the Company submits a signed
representation to the escrow agent that the requirements of Rule 419 have been
met and after the acquisition is consummated, the escrow agent can release the
Deposited Funds and Deposited Securities. Investors who do not reconfirm their
investments receive the return of a pro rata portion thereof; and in the event
investors representing less than 80% of the Deposited Funds reconfirm their
investments, the Deposited Funds are returned to all the investors on a pro rata
basis. Subsequent to the date of the financial statements, the Company was
advised by the Securities and Exchange
F-9
NOTE 4 - RULE 419 REQUIREMENTS (continued)
Commission that, as it had not consummated its business combination within
the statutorily prescribed eighteen month period, the funds deposited into
escrow must be returned to the investors. Subsequent to the date of the balance
sheet, these funds have been returned to investors.
NOTE 5 - GAIN (LOSS) PER SHARE OF COMMON STOCK
Net gain (loss) per share of common stock outstanding, as shown on the
statement of operations, is based on the number of shares outstanding at each
balance sheet date. Weighted average shares outstanding was not computed since
it would not be meaningful in the circumstances, as all shares issued during the
period from incorporation through December 31, 2001 were for initial capital.
Therefore, the total shares outstanding at the end of each period was deemed to
be the most relevant number of shares to use for purposes of this disclosure.
For future periods, the Company will utilize the treasury stock method for
computing earnings per share, and will compute a weighted average number of
shares outstanding once additional shares of stock are issued to new
stockholders. Under the treasury stock method, the dilutive effect of
outstanding stock options and other convertible securities for determining
primary earnings per share is computed using the average market price during the
fiscal period, whereas the dilutive effect of outstanding stock options and
convertible securities for determining fully diluted earnings per share is
computed using the market price as of the end of the fiscal period, if greater
than the average market price.
NOTE 6 - RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
Office Facilities
Rental of office space and use of office, computer and telecommunications
equipment are provided by the President of the Company on a month to month basis
at a monthly rental of $500 per month commencing with the sale of the units in
the proposed offering until consummation of an acquisition. For the period from
inception, September 28, 1999, to December 31, 1999 and for the years ended
December 31, 2000 and 2001, the accrual for rent is $-0-.
Officer Salaries
For the period from inception, September 28, 1999, to December 31, 1999 and
for the years ended December 31, 2000 and 2001 no officer has received a salary
in excess of $100,000 and no officer will receive a salary until the
consummation of an acquisition.

NOTE 7 - HISTORY OF TRANSACTION; RULE 419
The Company through an initial self-underwritten public offering pursuant
to Rule 419 of the Securities Act of 1933, sold 1,000,000 units at $0.10 per
unit raising an aggregate of $100,000. Each unit consisted of one share of
common stock and five two-year redeemable common stock purchase warrants. All
the offering proceeds as well as certificates representing the shares and
warrants purchased in the offering are being held in an escrow account. Pursuant
to a securities purchase agreement dated August 16, 2000, the Company purchased
all the common stock of Sky E-Com Corporation.
On August 16, 2000, the Company entered into a Securities Purchase
Agreement, (the "Agreement") whereby the Company would issue 7,854,400 shares of
common stock to former Sky E-Com shareholders in proportion to their share
holdings. In addition, our founding stockholders will transfer to Sky E-Com's
stockholders 1,500,000 of their shares. Our founders shall continue to hold
500,000 shares, representing 4.6% of the combined entity. The Company's public
stockholders hold 1,000,000 shares, representing 9.2% of the combined entity.
The former stockholders of Sky E-Com will own 9,354,400 shares of our common
stock representing 86.2% of the combined entity.
The acquisition was the subject of a prospectus for the reconfirmation of
the offering and the election to remain investors.
As Of December 31, 2000, the transaction has been rescinded.
Effective July 25, 2001, the Company entered into an acquisition agreement
(the Agreement) with Look Models International, Inc. ("LMI"), a Delaware
Corporation, that through its wholly-owned subsidiaries, operates a model
agency, an event marketing, licensing and sponsorship business, and a product
development and distributor business that manufactures and distributes a line of
cosmetics and other related products both in the retail and wholesale sectors.
Kingsgate, a development stage corporation, was organized on September 28, 1999
as a vehicle to acquire or merge with a business.
Pursuant to the Agreement, the shareholders of LMI agreed to sell to
Kingsgate 100% of all of the issued and outstanding shares of LMI, in exchange
for 10,500,000, $.001 par value, newly issued shares of voting common stock of
Kingsgate. Additionally, 1,000,000, $.001 par value common shares held by
Kingsgate's founders are to be transferred to the founder of LMI, Wolfgang
Schwarz. After the transaction and assuming the sale of all 1,000,000 shares of
common stock pursuant to this offering, Kingsgate will have a total of
13,500,000 shares of common stock issued and outstanding.
As of December 31, 2001, this merger has not yet been consummated

Look Models International, Inc ("LMI" or "the Company") is a U.S. holding
company that was incorporated in Delaware in June 2000.
Fordash Holdings Ltd ("Fordash") is a Bahamas holding company that was
incorporated in Nassau in July 1999.
Look Eventmanagement GmbH ("LEM") handles the sourcing of new models and their
development, and the organization of promotional events on behalf of a wide
variety of customers, including automobile manufacturers and national
airlines. It was founded in 1986 under its former name Wolfgang Schwarz
Sport- und Kulturveranstaltungen GmbH, Vienna.
Look Model Management GmbH ("LMM Austria") reflects the Company's activities in
Austria. Look Model Management spol sro ("LMM Czech Republic") reflects the
Company's activities in the Czech Republic.
F-18
1. Organization, basis of presentation and management's plans (continued):
The Company also has operations in other European countries, including
Croatia, Poland, Romania, Yugoslavia and Slovakia. These operations
are included in LEM.
In addition, the Company is developing a portfolio of cosmetic products
(such as perfumes, sun and body creams) and lingerie. These activities
are recorded in the books of LEM.
Basis of presentation:
The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance
with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of
America ("US GAAP").
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Look Models
International, Inc. and it's wholly-owned subsidiaries Fordash
Holdings Ltd., Look Eventmanagement GmbH, Look Model Management GmbH
and Look Model Management spol sro. Intercompany balances and
transactions are eliminated.
Management's plans:
The Company's financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2001
and 2000 show that the Company has suffered net losses of $1,725,950
and $1,680,438, respectively, and has a shareholders' deficit and a
working capital deficiency of $1,678,269 and $1,842,854, respectively,
as of December 31, 2001. The Company has experienced uncertainty in
meeting its liquidity needs and has relied on outside investors and
its principal shareholder to provide funding. Management's plans in
connection with these criteria are as follows:
a. The Company's president and majority shareholder has agreed to
postpone his claim for all amounts owed to him by the Company and
to utilize funds from capital raised from redemption of
outstanding warrants or future equity transactions the Company
may conclude for repayment. At December 31, 2001, such amount was
$812,911. In addition, the president and majority shareholder has
agreed to fund 25% of the operating expenses for 2002, and to
forego salary in 2002 until such time as profitable operations,
capital raised from redemption of outstanding warrants, or future
equity transactions provide the Company the ability to incur his
salary in accordance with his employment agreement.
F-19
1. Organization, basis of presentation and management's plans (continued):
Management's plans:
b. In 2001, the Company entered into an International Production and
Distribution Agreement with a German corporation, whereby the Company
obtained, among other things, the worldwide exclusive right to promote
and distribute a patented cosmetics dispenser under the Company's Look
Models and Catwalk labels. Further, the Company entered into a
three-year Product Distribution Agreement with Models Prefer Ltd., a
Connecticut corporation. Under this agreement, the Company has granted
exclusive distribution rights, as defined, to Models Prefer Ltd for
the distribution of the dispenser over televised distribution
channels. Under the terms of the Product Distribution Agreement, the
Company is guaranteed minimum purchases of the dispenser, which are
expected to generate revenues to the Company of approximately
$575,000, $900,000 and $1,200,000, over each of the three contract
years ending November 2002, 2003 and 2004, respectively. In addition,
the exclusivity provision of this agreement provides that the above
revenues will double in the event that the purchaser exercises its
exclusivity rights.
c. The Company is negotiating additional equity funding from foreign
investors, as well as the possibility of a U.S. private placement, and
expects to complete the reverse acquisition of a U.S. publicly traded
development stage company which will provide access to the U.S.
capital markets.
2. Significant accounting policies:
Business combinations:
Effective October 1, 2000, the Company issued 2,000,000 shares of common
stock and a promissory note in the amount of $1,000,000 to the
shareholder of Fordash in exchange for his interest in Fordash. Prior
to the exchange, the Company had no substantial operations and, under
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of
America, the transaction was accounted for as a recapitalization, as
the shareholder of Fordash acquired all the stock of LMI. Accordingly,
there was no revaluation of assets or liabilities for financial
statement accounting purposes. For reporting purposes, the
consolidated financial statements reflect the above-mentioned
reorganization similar to a pooling of interests with assets and
liabilities recorded at historical cost. Subsequent to the
recapitalization, the former shareholder of Fordash and the Company
agreed to cancel the note payable.
F-20
2. Significant accounting policies (continued):
Foreign currency translation:
The financial position and results of operations of the Company's foreign
subsidiaries are measured using local currency as the functional
currency. The functional currency for most foreign operations is the
Austrian Schilling, which was replaced by the Euro in January 2002.
Conversion to the Euro is not expected to have an impact on the
Company's financial condition and results of operations. Revenues and
expenses of such subsidiaries have been translated into U.S. dollars
at average exchange rates prevailing during the period. Assets and
liabilities have been translated at the rate of exchange at the
balance sheet date. Translation gains and losses are included in other
comprehensive income. Aggregate foreign currency transaction gains and
losses are included in the results of operations as incurred.
Cash and cash equivalents:
Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash on hand and deposits with original
maturities of less than three months.
Reclassifications:
Certain amounts reported in the 2000 financial statements have been
reclassified to conform to the 2001 presentation.
Accounts receivable and concentration of credit risk:
The Company grants credit to its customers, generally without collateral.
At December 31, 2001 approximately $109,835 of net trade receivables
were due from 2 customers. During 2001 one cosmetics customer
accounted for 25% of sales. No single customer accounted for more than
10% of sales in 2000.
Inventories:
Inventories consist of cosmetic products ready for sale and are valued by
using the first-in, first-out (FIFO) method at the lower of cost or
market.
Property and equipment:
Property and equipment is stated at cost less accumulated depreciation.
Depreciation expense is recognized using the straight-line method
primarily over useful lives of 5 years.
F-21
2. Significant accounting policies (continued):
Intangible assets:
Intangible assets consist of costs incurred to develop the Company's
websites and costs incurred to develop the Look Models and Catwalk
trademarks. These are being amortized using the straight-line method
over 4 and 10 years, respectively.
The Company periodically assesses the carrying value of its long-lived
assets for impairment, including operating and office equipment and
intangible assets, when events and circumstances indicate that the
carrying value of an asset may not be recoverable. If such assets are
considered to be impaired, the impairment to be recognized is measured
by the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset exceeds the
fair value of the asset. Based on its review, the Company does not
believe that any impairment has occurred as of December 31, 2001.
Income taxes:
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax
consequences attributable to differences between the financial
statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and
their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are
measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income
in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be
recovered or settled.
Revenue recognition:
Revenues from cosmetics sales are recognized upon delivery of goods to
customers. Revenues from event and model management are recognized at
the time services are provided.
Advertising:
Advertising costs are expensed as incurred. During the years ended December
31, 2001 and 2000 the Company incurred approximately $51,761 and
$76,075, respectively in advertising expense.
F-22
2. Significant accounting policies (continued):
Fair value of financial instruments:
The carrying amounts of the Company's cash and cash equivalents,
receivables, trade liabilities and accrued expenses and other current
liabilities approximate fair values due to the short maturities of
these instruments. The carrying values of the Company's short-term
borrowings approximate fair value based on the Company's current
incremental borrowing rates for similar types of borrowing
arrangements. The fair values of the Company's payables to related
parties are not practicable to estimate due to the related party
nature of the underlying transactions and indefinite payment terms.
Stock-based compensation:
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 123, "Accounting
for Stock-Based Compensation" allows companies to choose whether to
account for employee stock-based compensation on a fair value method,
or to account for such compensation under the intrinsic value method
prescribed in Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, "Accounting
for Stock Issued to Employees" ("APB 25"). The Company has chosen to
account for employee stock-based compensation using APB 25.
Segment reporting:
The Company has adopted SFAS No. 131, "Disclosures about Segments of an
Enterprise and Related Information" ("SFAS No. 131"). The Company's
results of operations and financial position were not affected by the
implementation of SFAS No. 131.
Use of estimates:
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires
management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported
amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets
and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the
reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.
Actual results could differ from those estimates.

2. Significant accounting policies (continued):
Comprehensive income:
SFAS No. 130, "Reporting Comprehensive Income", establishes requirements
for disclosure of comprehensive income which includes certain items
previously not included in the statements of operations, including
minimum pension liability adjustments and foreign currency translation
adjustments, among others. During the years ended December 31, 2001
and 2000, comprehensive income represents foreign currency translation
adjustments.
Recently issued accounting standards:
In June 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued SFAS No.
133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities".
This statement, as amended, is effective for fiscal years beginning
after June 15, 2000. Currently, the Company does not have any
derivative financial instruments and does not participate in hedging
activities. Therefore, SFAS No. 133 did not impact the Company's
consolidated financial statements.
In July 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued
SFAS No. 141, "Business Combinations", and SFAS No. 142, "Goodwill and
Other Intangible Assets". SFAS No. 141 requires that the purchase
method of accounting be used for all business combinations initiated
after June 30, 2001. Use of the pooling-of-interests method will be
prohibited on a prospective basis only. SFAS No. 142 changes the
accounting for goodwill from an amortization method to an
impairment-only approach. The Company is currently evaluating the
impact that the adoption of SFAS No. 141 and SFAS No. 142 will have
its financial condition and results of operations.
In August 2001, the FASB issued SFAS No. 144, "Accounting for Impairment
or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets", which addresses accounting and
financial reporting for the impairment or disposal of long-lived
assets. This statement is effective for the Company on January 1,
2002. The Company does not expect that adoption of this standard will
have a material effect on its results of operations or financial
position
In December 1999, the staff of the Securities and Exchange Commission
issued Staff Accounting Bulletin ("SAB") No 101, "Revenue Recognition
in Financial Statements". SAB No 101, as amended by SAB No 101A and
SAB No 101B, was effective no later than the fourth fiscal quarter of
fiscal years beginning after December 15, 1999. SAB No 101 provides
the Staff's view in applying generally accepted accounting principles
to selected revenue recognition issues. The Company believes that it
complies with the accounting and disclosure described in SAB No 101.

5. Short-term borrowings:
At December 31, 2001 short-term borrowings consisted of:
Line of credit, interest of 6.00% at December 31, 2001;
outstanding balance due in September 2002; collateralized
by the Company's receivables and guaranteed by the
Company's president $ 130,910

F-25
6. Profit interest payable:
Pursuant to Austrian law, certain third-party investors were granted a
profit interest in Look Eventmanagement GmbH in 2000 in return for an
investment of $88,888. Under the terms of the agreement, the investors
were to share in profits and losses of the business. In 2001, the
Company decided to terminate the agreement and has provided a
liability as of December 31, 2001 equal to the amount originally
invested plus 10% interest, which was the amount required to terminate
the agreement. This liability is included in accrued expenses and
other current liabilities at December 31, 2001 and was fully repaid in
February 2002.
7. Income taxes:
The Company is subject to income tax on an entity basis on income arising
in or derived from the tax jurisdiction in which each entity is
domiciled. The Company's Bahamian subsidiary is not liable for income
tax. The Company's Austrian and Czech Republic operations are subject
to income tax at 34%. Other European operations are not significant.
The reconciliation between the effective tax rate and the statutory U.S.
federal income tax rate is as follows:
December 31, December 31,
2001 2000
------------ ------------------
Computed "expected" tax benefit 34.00% 34.00%
Operating losses for which a benefit
has not been recognized (34.00%) (34.00%)
------------- ------------------
- -
================ ================
F-26
7. Income taxes (continued):
At December 31, 2001, the Company's deferred tax assets are as follows:
Net operating loss carry forwards (foreign) $ 634,117
Net operating loss carry forwards (U.S.) 737,100
Deferred tax asset valuation allowance (1,371,217)
----------------
Net deferred tax assets $ -
================
At December 31, 2001, the Company has foreign operating loss carryforwards and
U.S. operating loss carryforwards of approximately $1,865,000 and
$2,168,000, respectively. Effective January 1, 2001 the Austrian tax law
was changed so that loss carryforwards can only be used to offset up to 75
% of the taxable income of a single year. Austrian tax losses are available
for offset indefinitely, and U.S. tax losses are available for offset
through 2021.
The income tax returns of the Company's Austrian subsidiaries have been
audited through 1997. The Company does not believe that income tax
audits (if any) for later years will result in any material Austrian
income taxes.
8. Related parties:
Advances payable, related party, represent amounts advanced to the Company
by the Company's president and principal shareholder. The advances are
unsecured, payable on demand and do not bear interest. The Company's
president has agreed to postpone his claim for all amounts owed to him
by the Company through 2002, or until funds are acquired through
redemption of outstanding warrants or future equity transactions which
will provide the means for repayment.
9. Leases:
The Company is leasing automobiles and office equipment under operating
leases. Rent expense under these leases was $39,210 and $42,330 for
the years ended December 31, 2001 and 2000, respectively. The Company
also leases office space in Vienna under an agreement for an
indefinite term. Under the agreement, if the Company continues to make
lease payments at the current amount, the lease cannot be terminated
by the landlord. Rent expense for the years ended December 31, 2001
and 2000 was approximately $10,100 and $10,200, respectively.
F-27
9. Leases (continued):
At December 31, 2001, future minimum lease payments are as follows:
Year ending December 31: Amount

2002 $ 52,567
2003 19,017
2004 12,171
2005 5,491
2006 4,223
-----------------
Total $ 93,469
=================
10. Other post-employment benefits:
Austrian employees have a legal right to severance payment if their
employment is terminated by the employer or if the employee retires.
Thus, a liability has been recorded for estimated severance payments.
The following parameters have been used for calculating estimated severance
payments:
2001 2000
------ ------
Retirement age: Male 61.50 61.50
Female 56.50 56.50
Discount rate 4.50% 5.00%
Rate of increase in future
compensation levels 2.50% 2.00%
For calculation of estimated severance payments, the projected unit credit
method was used.
F-28
10. Other post-employment benefits (continued):
The calculations of the estimated severance payments are as follows:
December 31, December 31,
2001 2000
Projected benefit obligation at the
beginning of the period $ 13,374 $ 10,208
Interest costs 896 687
Service costs 6,224 4,156
Recognized actuarial loss (1,079) (1,677)
---------------- ----------------
Projected benefit obligation at the
end of the period $ 19,415 $ 13,374
================ ================
11. Shareholders' equity:
In connection with its recapitalization, the Company issued 2,000,000
shares of common stock. During the years ended December 31, 2001 and
2000, the Company issued an additional 486,434 and 8,138,874 shares of
common stock for $358,619 and $2,363,265, net, respectively. A total
of 62,810 and 7,806,062 shares were issued in private placements at
prices ranging from $0.02 to $2.00 per share. Different prices arose
as the Company concluded individual negotiations with each of the
Company's investors. In addition, in 2001 and 2000, 423,624 and
332,812 shares, respectively, were issued in exchange for legal and
professional services and in repayment of certain liablities. These
shares were valued at $288,000 and $256,250, respectively, the fair
value of the services received and liabilities paid, which management
considers to be the most reliable measurement.
Included in shares issued for services are 250,000 shares valued at
$240,000, which were issued to a member of the Board of Directors.
12. Commitments and contingent liabilities:
The Company is involved in various claims and legal actions arising in the
ordinary course of business. In the opinion of management, the
ultimate disposition of these matters will not have a material effect
on the financial statements of the Company.
F-29
13.Operating segments:
The Group classifies its businesses into three operating segments. The
segments have been defined by the services each segment offers. The
services offered are described below:
Eventmanagement:
Look Eventmanagement GmbH handles the sourcing of new models and their
development, and the organization of promotional events. It was
founded 1986 under its former name Wolfgang Schwarz Sport- und
Kulturveranstaltungen GmbH, Vienna.
Model management:
Look Model Management GmbH is a model agency operating in Austria.
Cosmetics:
In 2000, the Company started a new operating segment by entering into the
cosmetics business. The products include Eau de toilette, perfumes,
body milk and body splash. In 2001, the Company introduced the sale of
sunscreens.

KINGSGATE ACQUISITIONS, INC.
TRANSACTION WITH LOOK MODELS INTERNATIONAL , INC.
Effective July 25, 2001, Kingsgate Acquisitions, Inc. (the "Company" or
"Kingsgate) entered into an acquisition agreement (the Agreement) with Look
Models International, Inc. ("LMI"), a Delaware Corporation, that through
its wholly-owned subsidiaries, operates a model agency, an event marketing,
licensing and sponsorship business, and a product development and
distributor business that manufactures and distributes a line of cosmetics
and other related products both in the retail and wholesale sectors.
Kingsgate, a development stage corporation, was organized on September 28,
1999 as a vehicle to acquire or merge with a business.
Pursuant to the Agreement, the shareholders of LMI agreed to sell to Kingsgate
100% of all of the issued and outstanding shares of LMI, in exchange for
10,500,000, $.001 par value, newly issued shares of voting common stock of
Kingsgate additionally, 1,000,000, $.001 par value common shares held by
Kingsgate's founders are to be issued to the founder of LMI, Wolfgang
Schwarz. After the transaction, and assuming all 1,000,000 shares are sold
in this offering, Kingsgate will have a total of 13,500,000 shares of
common stock issued and outstanding.
The transaction will be accounted for as a reverse acquisition of Kingsgate by
LMI, since the shareholder of LMI will own approximately 85.2% of the post
acquisition common shares of the consolidated entity immediately after the
completion of the transaction. For accounting purposes, the acquisition has
been treated as an acquisition of the Company by LMI and as a
recapitalization of LMI.
The accompanying unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated balance sheet gives
effect to the acquisition as if it had been consummated on December 31,
2001. The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated balance sheet should
be read in conjunction with the historical financial statements of LMI, as
well as those of the Company. The unaudited pro forma condensed
consolidated balance sheet does not purport to be indicative of the
financial position that actually would have occurred had the transaction
been consummated on December 31, 2001, or to project the Company's
financial position to any future period.
A pro forma statement of operations has not been presented as Kingsgate
incurred a loss of $15,365 and $820 for the years ended December 31, 2001
and 2000. Neither amount would materially increase the net loss incurred by
LMI for the year ended December 31, 2001 and 2000 of $1,725,950 and
$1,680,438 as shown in the LMI historical financial statements. Loss per
share for LMI for the year ended December 31, 2001 and 2000 based on
13,500,000 shares outstanding would have been $0.13 and $0.12,
respectively. F-35

PART II
INFORMATION NOT REQUIRED IN PROSPECTUS
Item 24. Indemnification of Directors and Officers
The Delaware General Corporation Law provides for the indemnification of
the officers, directors and corporate employees and agents of Kingsgate
Acquisitions, Inc. (the "Registrant") under certain circumstances as follows:
INDEMNIFICATION OF OFFICERS, DIRECTORS, EMPLOYEES AND AGENTS; INSURANCE.
(a) A corporation may indemnify any person who was or is a party or is
threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action,
suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative
(other than an action by or in the right of the corporation) by reason of the
fact that he is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the
corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a
director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint
venture, trust or other enterprise, against expenses (including attorneys'
fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably
incurred by him in connection with such action, suit or proceeding if he acted
in good faith and in a manner he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to
the best interests of the corporation, and, with respect to any criminal action
or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe his conduct was unlawful. The
termination of any action, suit or proceeding by judgment, order, settlement,
conviction, or upon a plea of nolo contendere or its equivalent, shall not, of
itself, create a presumption that the person did not act in good faith and in a
manner which he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best
interests of the corporation, and, with respect to any criminal action or
proceeding, had reasonable cause to believe that his conduct was unlawful.
(b) A corporation may indemnify any person who was or is a party or is
threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action or
suit by or in the right of the corporation to procure a judgment in its favor by
reason of the fact that he is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of
the corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a
director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint
venture, trust or other enterprise against expenses (including attorneys' fees)
actually and reasonably incurred by him in connection with the defense or
settlement of such action or suit if he acted in good faith and in a manner he
reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the
corporation and except that no indemnification shall be made in respect of any
claim, issue or matter as to which such person shall have been adjudged to be
liable to the corporation unless and only to the extent that the Court of
Chancery or the court in which such action or suit was brought shall determine
upon application that, despite the adjudication of liability but in view of all
the circumstance of the case, such person is fairly and reasonably entitled to
indemnity for such expenses which the Court of Chancery or such court shall deem
proper.
(c) To the extent that a director, officer, employee or agent of a
corporation has been successful on the merits or otherwise in defense of any
action, suit or proceeding referred to in subsections (a) and (b) of this
section, or in defense of any claim, issue or matter therein, he shall be
indemnified against expenses (including attorney's fees) actually and reasonably
incurred by him in connection therewith.
(d) Any indemnification under subsections (a) and (b) of this section
(unless ordered by a court) shall be made by the corporation only as authorized
in the specific case upon a determination that indemnification of the director,
officer, employee or agent is proper in the circumstances because he has met the
applicable standard of conduct set forth in subsections (a) and (b) of this
section. Such determination shall be made (1) by the board of directors by a
majority vote of a quorum consisting of directors who were not parties to such
action, suit or proceeding, or (2) if such a quorum is not obtainable, or, even
if obtainable a quorum of disinterested directors so directs, by independent
legal counsel in a written opinion, or (3) by the stockholders.
(e) Expenses incurred by an officer or director in defending any civil,
criminal, administrative or investigative action, suit or proceeding may be paid
by the corporation in advance of the final disposition of such action, suit or
proceeding upon receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of such director to
repay such amount if it shall ultimately be determined that he is not entitled
to be indemnified by the corporation as authorized in this section. Such
expenses including attorneys' fees incurred by other employees and agents may be
so paid upon such terms and conditions, if any, as the board of directors deems
appropriate.
(f) The indemnification and advancement expenses provided by, or granted
pursuant to, the other subsections of this section shall not be deemed exclusive
of any other rights to which those seeking indemnification or advancement
expenses may be entitled under any bylaw, agreement, vote of stockholders or
disinterested directors or otherwise, both as to action in his official capacity
and as to action in another capacity while holding such office.
(g) A corporation shall have power to purchase and maintain insurance on
behalf of any person who is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the
corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a
director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint
venture, trust or other enterprise against any liability asserted against him
and incurred by him in any such capacity or arising out of his status as such,
whether or not the corporation would have the power to indemnify him against
such liability under this section.
(h) For purposes of this Section, references to "the corporation" shall
include, in addition to the resulting corporation, any constituent corporation
(including any constituent of a constituent) absorbed in a consolidation or
merger which, if its separate existence had continued, would have had power and
authority to indemnify its directors, officers and employees or agents so that
any person who is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of such
constituent corporation, or is or was serving at the request of such constituent
corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation,
partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, shall stand in the same
position under this section with respect to the resulting or surviving
corporation as he would have with respect to such constituent corporation as he
would have with respect to such constituent corporation if its separate
existence had continued.
(i) For purposes of this section, references to "other enterprises" shall
include employee benefit plans; references to "fines" shall include any excise
taxes assessed on a person with respect to an employee benefit plan; and
references to "serving at the request of the corporation" shall include any
service as a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation which
imposes duties on, or involves services by, such director, officer, employee, or
agent with respect to an employee benefit plan, its participants, or
beneficiaries; and a person who acted in good faith and in a manner he
reasonably believed to be in the interest of the participants and beneficiaries
of an employee benefit plan shall be deemed to have acted in a manner "not
opposed to the best interests of the corporation" as referred to in this
section.
(j) The indemnification and advancement of expenses provided by, or granted
pursuant to, this section shall, unless otherwise provided when authorized or
ratified, continue as to a person who has ceased to be a director, officer,
employee or agent and shall inure to the benefit of the heirs, executors, and
administrators of such person.
Articles Ninth and Tenth of the Registrant's certificate of incorporate
provide as follows:
NINTH:
The personal liability of the directors of the Corporation is hereby
eliminated to the fullest extent permitted by the provisions of paragraph (7) of
subsection (b) of Section 102 of the Delaware General Corporation Law, as the
same may be amended and supplemented.
TENTH:
The Corporation shall, to the fullest extent permitted by the provisions of
Section 145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law, as the same may be amended
and supplemented, indemnify any and all persons whom it shall have power to
indemnify under said section from and against any and all of the expenses,
liabilities or other matters referred to in or covered by said section, and the
indemnification provided for herein shall not be deemed exclusive of any other
rights to which those indemnified may be entitled under any by-law, agreement,
vote of stockholders or disinterested directors or otherwise, both as to action
in his official capacity and as to action in another capacity while holding such
office, and shall continue as to a person who has ceased to be a director,
officer, employee or agent and shall inure to the benefit of the heirs,
executors and administrators of such a person.
Article XII of the Registrant's by-laws provides as follows:
ARTICLE XII - INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS
1. INDEMNIFICATION. The corporation shall indemnify any person who was or is a
party or is threatened to be made a party to any proceeding, whether civil,
criminal, administrative or investigative (other than an action by or in
the right of the corporation) by reason of the fact that such person is or
was a director, trustee, officer, employee or agent of the corporation, or
is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director, trustee,
officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint
venture, trust or other enterprise, against expenses (including attorneys'
fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and
reasonably incurred by such person in connection with such action, suit or
proceeding if such person acted in good faith and in a manner such person
reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the
corporation, and with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no
reasonable cause to believe such person's conduct was unlawful. The
termination of any action, suit or proceeding by judgment, order,
settlement, conviction, or upon a plea of nolo contendere or its
equivalent, shall not, by itself, create a presumption that the person did
not act in good faith and in a manner which the person reasonably believed
to be in or not opposed to the best interest of the corporation, and with
respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had reasonable cause to
believe that such person's conduct was lawful.
2. DERIVATIVE ACTION. The corporation shall indemnify any person who was or is
a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or
completed action or suit by or in the right of the corporation to procure a
judgment in the corporation's favor by reason of the fact that such person
is or was a director, trustee, officer, employee or agent of the
corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a
director, trustee, officer, employee or agent of any other corporation,
partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, against expenses
(including attorneys' fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in
settlement actually and reasonably incurred by such person in connection
with such action, suit or proceeding if such person acted in good faith and
in a manner such person reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the
best interests of the corporation; provided, however, that no
indemnification shall be made in respect of any claim, issue or matter as
to which such person shall have been adjudged to be liable for gross
negligence or willful misconduct in the performance of such person's duty
to the corporation unless and only to the extent that the court in which
such action or suit was brought shall determine upon application that,
despite circumstances of the case, such person is fairly and reasonably
entitled to indemnity for such expenses as such court shall deem proper.
The termination of any action, suit or proceeding by judgment, order,
settlement, conviction, or upon a plea of nolo contendere or its
equivalent, shall not, by itself, create a presumption that the person did
not act in good faith and in a manner which the person reasonably believed
to be in or not opposed to the best interest of the corporation.
3. SUCCESSFUL DEFENSE. To the extent that a director, trustee, officer,
employee or agent of the corporation has been successful, on the merits or
otherwise, in whole or in part, in defense of any action, suit or
proceeding referred to in paragraphs 1 and 2 above, or in defense of any
claim, issue or matter therein, such person shall be indemnified against
expenses (including attorneys' fees) actually and reasonably incurred by
such person in connection therewith. to time in advance of the final
disposition of such action, suit or proceeding as authorized in the manner
provided in paragraph 4 above upon receipt of an undertaking by or on
behalf of the director, trustee, officer, employee or agent to repay such
amount unless it shall ultimately be determined by the corporation that the
payment of expenses is authorized in this Section.
6. NONEXCLUSIVITY. The indemnification provided in this Section shall not be
deemed exclusive of any other rights to which those indemnified may be
entitled under any law, by-law, agreement, vote of stockholders or
disinterested director or otherwise, both as to action in such person's
official capacity and as to action in another capacity while holding such
office, and shall continue as to a person who has ceased to be a director,
trustee, officer, employee or agent and shall insure to the benefit of the
heirs, executors, and administrators of such a person.
7. INSURANCE. The Corporation shall have the power to purchase and maintain
insurance on behalf of any person who is or was a director, trustee,
officer, employee or agent of the corporation, or is or was serving at the
request of the corporation as a director, trustee, officer, employee or
agent of any corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other
enterprise, against any liability assessed against such person in any such
capacity or arising out of such person's status as such, whether or not the
corporation would have the power to indemnify such person against such
liability.
8. "CORPORATION" DEFINED. For purpose of this action, references to the
"corporation" shall include, in addition to the corporation, any
constituent corporation (including any constituent of a constituent)
absorbed in a consolidation or merger which, if its separate existence had
continued, would have had the power and authority to indemnify its
directors, trustees, officers, employees or agents, so that any person who
is or was a director, trustee, officer, employee or agent of such of
constituent corporation will be considered as if such person was a
director, trustee, officer, employee or agent of the corporation.

UNDERTAKINGS
The Registrant undertakes:
(1) To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made,
post-effective amendment to this registration statement (the "Registration
Statement"):
(i) To include any prospectus required by Section 10 (a) (3) of the
Securities Act of 1933 (the "Securities Act");
(ii) To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the
Effective Date of the Registration Statement (or the most recent
post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the
aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth
in the Registration Statement;
(iii)To include any material information with respect to the plan of
distribution not previously disclosed in the Registration Statement or
any material change to such information in this registration
statement, including (but not limited to) the addition of an
underwriter;
(2) That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities
Act, each such post-effective amendment shall be treated 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 thereof.
(3) To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of
the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of
the offering.
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act
may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the
Registrant pursuant to any provisions contained in its Certificate of
Incorporation, or by-laws, or otherwise, the Registrant has been advised that in
the opinion of the Commission such indemnification is against public policy as
expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event
that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the
payment by the Registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or
controlling person of the Registrant 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, the Registrant will, unless
in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling
precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether
indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities
Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
