Any statement contained in a document incorporated or deemed to be incorporated herein by reference shall be deemed to be modified or superceded for the purpose of this Registration Statement to the extent that a statement contained herein or in any subsequently filed document which is also, or is deemed to be, incorporated herein by reference modifies or supercedes such statement. Any such statement so modified or superceded shall not be deemed, except as so modified or superceded, to constitute a part of this Registration Statement. ITEM 4. DESCRIPTION OF SECURITIES COMMON STOCK GENERAL. The Company is authorized to issue 690,000,000 shares of Common Stock, $.001 par value per share. The holders of the Common Stock are entitled to receive dividends when, as and if declared by the Board of Directors, out of funds legally available therefor. In the event of liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company, the holders of the Common Stock are entitled to share ratably in all assets remaining available for distribution to them after payment of liabilities and after provision has been made for each class of stock, if any, having preference over the Common Stock. The holders of the Common Stock as such have no conversion, sinking fund, cumulative, preemptive or other subscription rights and there are no redemption provisions applicable to the Common Stock. VOTING RIGHTS. The holders of the Common Stock are entitled to one vote for each share held of record on all matters to be voted on by stockholders. There is no cumulative voting with respect to the election of directors, with the results that the holders of shares having more than fifty percent (50%) of the votes for the election of directors can elect all of the directors. DIVIDEND POLICY. During the last two fiscal years, the Company has not paid any dividends on its Common Stock. The payment of dividends, if any, in the future is within the discretion of the Board of Directors and will depend upon the Company's earnings, its capital requirements and financial condition and other relevant factors. The Board does not intend to declare any dividends in the foreseeable future, but instead intends to retain all earnings, if any, for use in the Company's business operations. ITEM 5. INTEREST OF NAMED EXPERTS AND COUNSEL Not applicable ITEM 6. INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS The Company's Bylaws provide that the Company shall indemnify its officers and directors against all expenses and liabilities, including counsel fees, reasonably incurred by or imposed upon an officer or director in connection with any proceeding to which the officer or director may be made a party, or in which the officer or director may become involved, by reason of being or having been an officer or director of the Company or is or was serving at the Company's request as a director, officer, employee or agent of the Company, partnership, joint venture, trust or enterprise, or any settlement thereof, except in such cases wherein the officer or director is adjudged guilty of willful misfeasance or malfeasance in the performance of the officer's or director's duties. In the event of a settlement, the indemnification only applies when the Company's Board of Directors approves such settlement and reimbursement as being in the best interests of the Company. The Bylaws further provide that the Company will indemnify its officers and directors against expenses of a suit, litigation or other proceeding that is specifically permissible under applicable law. Nevada law authorizes a corporation to indemnify directors, officers, employees or agents of the corporation in non-derivative suits if such party acted in good faith and in a manner he 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 no reasonable cause to believe his conduct was unlawful, as determined in accordance with Nevada law. The foregoing provisions affecting personal liability do not abrogate a director's fiduciary duty to the Company and its shareholders, but eliminate personal liability for monetary damages for breach of that duty. The provisions do not, however, eliminate or limit the liability of a director for failing to act in good faith, for engaging in intentional misconduct or knowingly violating a law, for authorizing the illegal payment of a dividend or repurchase of stock, for obtaining an improper personal benefit, for breaching a director's duty of loyalty, which is generally described as the duty not to engage in any transaction which involves a conflict between the interest of the Company and those of the director, or for violations of the federal securities laws. Moreover, they do not provide indemnification for liability arising out of willful misconduct, fraud, or dishonesty, for "short-swing" profits violations under the federal securities laws, for the receipt of illegal remuneration or if the officer or director received a benefit in money, property or services to which the officer or director is not legally entitled. ITEM 7. EXEMPTION FROM REGISTRATION CLAIMED Not applicable. ITEM 8. EXHIBITS 4.1 Consulting Services Agreement with Annas Fneikher 4.2 Consulting Agreement with Richard Margulies/GRQ Financial, Inc. 5.1 Opinion and consent of David M. Loev, Attorney at Law re: the legality of the shares being registered 23.1 Consent of David M. Loev, Attorney at Law (included in Exhibit 5.1) 23.2 Consent of Henry L. Creel Co., Inc. ITEM 9. UNDERTAKINGS (a) The registrant hereby undertakes: (1) To file, during any period in which offers or sells are being made, a post-effective amendment to this registration statement 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 the registration statement. (2) That, for the purpose of determining liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each post-effective amendment shall be treated as a new registration statement of the securities offered, and the offering of the securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof. (3) To file a post-effective amendment to remove from registration any of the securities being registered that remain unsold at the end of the offering. (b) The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each filing of the registrant's annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (and, where applicable, each filing of an employee benefit plan's annual report pursuant to Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) that is incorporated by reference in the registration statement shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof. (c) Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. 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 such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue. SIGNATURES Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, the registrant certifies that it has reasonable grounds to believe that it meets all of the requirements for filing on Form S-8 and has duly caused this registration statement to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned, thereunto duly authorized, in the City of Cleveland, State of Ohio, on January 28, 2004.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration for those services Consultant provides to Client, the parties agree as follows: 1. SERVICES OF CONSULTANT. Consultant agrees to serve as a representative in Dubai and to establish a Dubai facility and office and to establish a distribution center for the Middle East. As such Consultant will provide bona fide Services to Client.

Any such suspension will in no way relieve Client from payment of Shares, and, in the event of collection enforcement, Client shall be liable for any costs associated with such collection, including, but not limited to, legal costs, attorneys' fees, courts costs, and collection agency fees. 5. INDEMNIFICATION. (A) CLIENT.
