SUMMARY This summary highlights information we present more fully elsewhere in this prospectus. You should read this entire prospectus carefully. About Us InterCare.com formally known as Inter-Care Diagnostics, Inc., is a leading developer of bio-medical healthcare multi-media content and software technologies. Since February 1991, we have taken steps to become a leading provider of software technologies for neuromuscular re-education, stress management and biofeedback. The company was originally incorporated in 1991 for the purpose of operating a medical diagnostics laboratory and engaging in various medical services to clients. On January 17, 1994, a 6.8 magnitude earthquake centered in Northridge, California caused wide spread damage to commercial and residential structures, and to major freeways, causing business interruptions and disrupting the normal flow of traffic. The Company experienced irreversible damage to all its high-tech computers and diagnostic equipment. Since that time, the Company has been devoting substantially all its efforts to establishing a new business entity that develops software for the healthcare industry and other related activities over the Internet. We have created, published and marketed multimedia software products, content and Internet-ready applications that provide biofeedback, healthcare transactions, medical and health-related information for the education, consumer and professional markets. The company developed the Mirage Systems Multimedia Biofeedback software program ( a cross-platform program : Windows 3.X including windows 95;98 and Apple Macintosh platforms) in 1994, and this software became the first FDA approved software program for neuromuscular re-education and biofeedback training. The company also has four other software products in the market including the "Body Pain Trigger Points Program", one of our best selling software products, with over 20,000 copies sold. The company intends to convert all its software programs to run in all the popular operating systems available, including but not limited to Microsoft Windows, Macintosh and Linus or Unix operating systems. During the fiscal year ended March 31, 1994 ("fiscal 1994"), InterCare.com made the strategic decision to focus the majority of its efforts on the online dissemination of consumer health information, resulting in the May 1994 launch of WWW.CAPNET.COM, our consumer health destination, the later which was acquired by Meridian Holdings, Inc., a NASDAQ OTC BB (MEHO) technology oriented company. In connection with this redirected strategy, we also started focusing our efforts on Telemedicine product research and development, as well as conversion of our existing healthcare transaction software program into a web-enabled healthcare transaction management program. In the changing world of healthcare, one trend serves the common interests of doctors, patients, and medical administrators: to maintain and increase the quality of care through new and more cost-effective technologies, hence the Company's interest in the emerging healthcare Transactions and telemedicine services and software applications development. There are several different reports and articles discussing the telemedicine market. Each of them looks at telemedicine in a slightly different way and provides different estimates, as follows: - - Business Communications Company (BCC): BCC is a large consulting firm producing industry reports on many industry sectors. In February 1998 the firm produced a report titled: Telemedicine Opportunities for Medical and Electronic Providers (240 pages, cost: $1,350). Ben Grimley, an industry analyst who specializes in health and information technology issues, prepared the report. BCC estimates that the current U.S. market for telemedicine is $65 million and will reach $3 billion by the year 20 02 based on the high growth rates of leading market segments and an assumption that full reimbursement for telemedicine services will continue to become more common. They predict the overall growth rate for telemedicine to be 35 percent per year over the next five years with a 42 percent increase in public sector investments and an 89 percent growth in sites over the same period. The report cites provider plans for predicting a 280 percent growth in prison telemedicine sites over five years and a doubling of military investment over seven years. The predicted rates of growth for telemedicine is particularly important given the firm's prediction that the market for overall health-care related information is expected to grow only three percent per year. - - Feedback Research Services (FRS): FRS is a market research firm specializing in high-tech health care delivery systems. Overall, FRS states that the current annual U.S. market for telepathology, teleradiology, and videoconferencing telemedicine systems is under $100 million. According to FRS, telemedicine-related videoconferencing equipment sales in Europe, North America, and the Pacific Rim accounted for $250 million in revenues in 1996. They estimate that worldwide sales of products and services during the 1990s reached an estimated $520 million, cumulative, through the year-end of 1996. They project the annual worldwide growth rate to be 15 percent. They project that Europe and the Pacific Rim combined may represent cumulative telemedicine expenditures of $1.4 billion by 2001. - - Frost and Sullivan (F&S): F&S is an international marketing, consulting and training firm covering many different markets. A representative from F&S wrote an article in the April 1998 issue of ADVANCE for Administrators in Radiology & Radiation Oncology that provided market forecasts for PACS and Teleradiology. According to the article, the current total PACS and teleradiology systems market revenue for the U.S. and Europe is estimated for 1998 at $368.8 million with the United States generating 81 percent of this market. They project a growth rate of about 28 percent over the next six years yielding a total annual market of $1.6 billion by 2004. In a separate report on U.S. hospital communications equipment markets, including telemedicine videoconferencing as well as other segments, F&S forecasts a 30 percent growth in this market. - - Waterford Advisors: Waterford Advisors is an investment firm specializing in healthcare and information systems. The firm has developed the Waterford Telemedicine Index (WTI), an index of stock prices from various telemedicine-related companies. WTI was debuted in the April 1998 issue of Telemedicine and Telehealth Networks and will be a regular feature of the magazine. The index does not attempt to predict market size. Rather, the index is designed to be a monitor of the overall performance of the industry and a way to estimate the economic value of telemedicine companies. Since the index is new, there is little information about the recent performance of telemedicine companies in the market. The index currently includes 38 companies. - - HIMSS annual leadership survey: The Healthcare Information and Systems Society (HIMSS) recently conducted their ninth annual survey of senior healthcare executives. Of the 1,754 respondents, 34 percent reported that their organizations currently use telemedicine, ten-percent plan on using telemedicine within the next 21 months and 28 percent are investigating its use in the future. - - Telemedicine and Telehealth Networks Survey: The Telemedicine and Telehealth Networks magazine recently completed a survey of selected telemedicine program managers. Ninety-three percent reported that they expect to expand their operations in the next five years. Corporate Information We are incorporated under the laws of the State of California in January 1991, and changed our name from Monet Medical Testing, Inc., to Inter-Care Diagnostics, Inc., in April 25th, 1991. On December 18, 1999, in keeping with our new strategy to become an Internet-based company, the Company changed its name to InterCare.com Inc. Our principal executive offices are located at 900 Wilshire Blvd, Suite 500 Los Angeles, California. Our telephone number at that address is (213) 627-8878.

Risk Factors Investments in our securities are highly speculative, involve a high degree of risk, and should be purchased only by you if you can afford to lose your entire investment. See "Risk Factors" for special risks concerning us and "Dilution" for information concerning dilution of the book value of your shares from the public offering. Use of Proceeds All proceeds from this offering whether minimum or maximum offering were sold will be used for working capital and general corporate purposes. No escrow account will be set-up for this offering. (See "USE OF PROCEEDS"). RISK FACTORS An investment in our Common Stock involves a high degree of risk and should only be made by investors who can afford to lose their entire investment. You should carefully consider the risks and uncertainties described below and other information in this Prospectus before deciding to invest in our Common Stock. The risks described herein are intended to highlight risks that are specific to us and are not the only ones we face. Additional risks and uncertainties, such as those that apply to the business we acquire may also impair our business operations. Risks and uncertainties, in addition to those we describe below, that are presently not known to us or that we currently believe are not material, may subsequently become material and may also impair our financial condition. If any of the following risks actually occur, our business, results of operations and financial condition could be materially, adversely affected. This could cause the trading price of our Common Stock to decline and a loss of part or all of any investment in our Common Stock. GOING CONCERN CONTINGENCY. The Company has minimal capital resources presently available to meet obligations that normally can be expected to be incurred by similar companies, and with which to carry out its planned activities. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. CAPITAL CONSTRAINTS MAY AFFECT OUR RESOURCES. Since inception we have funded operations with debt and equity capital. Our ability to operate profitably under our current business plan is largely contingent upon success in obtaining additional sources of capital. Assuming the sale of all the shares in this offering, we will receive net proceeds of approximately $5,000,000. Such an amount will be sufficient as a working capital and general corporate expenses. There can be no assurance that sources of capital will be available on satisfactory terms or at all. Without sufficient capital we may not be able to fully implement our business, operating and development plans. There can be no assurance that any such financing, if obtained, will be adequate to meet our ultimate capital needs. If adequate capital can not be obtained or obtained on satisfactory terms, our operations could be negatively impacted. WE ARE A YOUNG COMPANY THAT HAS INCURRED LOSSES. We have experienced substantial losses since our inception. We cannot be certain that we can obtain profitability in any future period. We operate in a new and rapidly evolving market and must, among other things: - - respond to competitive developments; - - continue to upgrade and expand our content and healthcare information services offerings; and - - continue to attract, retain and motivate our employees. - - demand for our products; - - size and timing of sales and installations of our products; - - product and price competition; - - our unpredictable sales cycle; - - our ability to successfully expand our direct sales force; - - our ability to develop and market new and enhanced products on a timely basis; - - deferral of customer orders in anticipation of product enhancements or new products; - - continued purchases by our existing customers, including additional licenses and maintenance contracts; - - delays in our customers' orders due to their year 2000 priorities; . variability in the mix of our license and professional service revenues; - - our ability to accurately price fixed-priced professional services projects; - - variability in the mix of professional services that we perform versus those performed for our customers by others; - - software defects; - - technological changes in our market; - - our ability to establish and maintain relationships with our third-party implementation partners; - - changes in our sales force incentives; - - expansion of our international sales organization and increase in international sales; - - the loss of any key employees and timing of our new hires; and general economic factors. We cannot be certain that we will be successful. RISK FACTORS RELATED TO OUR OPERATIONS We are still in the early stages of our development, so evaluating our business operations and our prospects is difficult. The revenues and income potential of our Tele-medicine and Healthcare Transaction management business and market are unproven. We will encounter risks and difficulties frequently encountered by early-stage companies in new and rapidly evolving markets. These risks include our: - - need to sell additional licenses and software products to our existing customers; - - need to expand our sales and marketing, customer support and professional services organizations; - - need to expand our customer base outside of the electronics and medical device industries; - - need to build strategic partnerships and relationships; - - need to effectively manage growth; - - need to expand our international operations and customer base; and - - need to attract and retain key personnel. We may not be able to successfully address these risks, and the failure to do so could seriously harm our business and operating results. In addition, because of our limited operating history, we have limited insight into trends that may emerge and affect our business. NO UNDERWRITER We are selling the shares through our directors and officers without the use of a professional securities underwriting firm. Consequently, there may be less due diligence performed in conjunction with this offering than would be performed in an underwritten offering. SUBSTANTIAL SALES OF OUR COMMON STOCK COULD ADVERSELY AFFECT OUR STOCK PRICE Sales of a substantial number of shares of our common stock after this offering could cause the market price of our common stock to decline by potentially introducing a large number of sellers of our common stock into a market in which our common stock price is already volatile. In addition, the sale of these shares could impair our ability to raise capital through the sale of additional equity securities. RISK RELATED TO THIS OFFERING Our Executive Officers, Directors and Major Stockholders Will Retain Significant Control Over Us After This Offering, Which May Lead to Conflicts With Other Stockholders Over Corporate Governance Matters. After this offering, executive officers, directors and holders of 5% or more of our outstanding common stock will, in the aggregate, own approximately % of our outstanding common stock. These stockholders would be able to significantly influence all matters requiring approval by our stockholders, including the election of directors and the approval of significant corporate transactions. This concentration of ownership may also delay, deter or prevent a change in our control and may make some transactions more difficult or impossible to complete without the support of these stockholders. VOLATILE STOCK PRICE WHICH MAY LEAD TO LOSSES BY INVESTORS AND TO SECURITIES LITIGATION Prior to this offering, you could not buy or sell our common stock publicly. An active public market for our common stock may not develop or be sustained after the offering. We will negotiate and determine the initial public offering price with the representatives of the Market Makers based on several factors. This price may vary from the market price of the common stock after the offering. The stock market has experienced significant price and volume fluctuations and the market prices of securities of technology companies, particularly Internet-related companies, have been highly volatile. Investors may not be able to resell their shares at or above the initial public offering price. See "Plan of Distribution." In the past, securities class action litigation has often been instituted against a company following periods of volatility in the company's stock price. This type of litigation could result in substantial costs and could divert our management's attention and resources. WE FACE RAPID TECHNOLOGICAL CHANGE IN OUR INDUSTRY. Rapid changes in technology pose significant risks to us. To remain successful, we must continue to change, adapt and improve our content and delivery mediums in response to changes in technology. Our future success hinges on our ability to both continue to enhance our current content and to successfully market this content. We cannot be sure that we will successfully develop and market new content. Any failure by us to timely develop and disseminate new or to update and enhance our current content could adversely affect our business, operating results and financial condition. WE FACE RISKS REGARDING OUR POTENTIAL FUTURE ACQUISITIONS OR INVESTMENTS. As part of our growth strategy, we may acquire or make investments in, companies with products, technologies or professional services capabilities complementary to ours. In acquiring companies in the future, we could encounter difficulties in assimilating their personnel and operations into our company. These difficulties could disrupt our ongoing business, distract our management and employees, increase our expenses and adversely affect our results of operations. These difficulties could also include accounting requirements, such as amortization of goodwill or in-process research and development expense. We cannot be certain that we will successfully overcome these risks with respect to any future acquisitions or that we will not encounter other problems in connection with our prior or any future acquisitions. In addition, any future acquisitions may require us to incur debt or issue equity securities. The issuance of equity securities could dilute the investment of our existing shareholders. RISK RELATED TO INTERNET BUSINESS AND PROSPECTS If Use of the Internet Does Not Grow, Our Business Would Be Harmed. Our success depends upon continued growth in the use of the Internet as a medium of commerce. Although the Internet is experiencing rapid growth in the number of users, this growth is a recent phenomenon and may not continue. Furthermore, despite this growth in usage, the use of the Internet for commerce is relatively new. As a result, a sufficiently broad base of enterprises and their supply chain partners may not adopt or continue to use the Internet as a medium of commerce. Our business would be seriously harmed if: - - use of the Internet does not continue to increase or increases more slowly than expected; - - the infrastructure for the Internet does not effectively support enterprises and their supply chain partners; - - the Internet does not create a viable commercial marketplace, inhibiting the development of electronic commerce and reducing the demand for our products; or - - concerns over the secure transmission of confidential information over public networks inhibit the growth of the Internet as a means of conducting commercial transactions. - - Capacity Restraints May Restrict the Use of the Internet as a Commercial Marketplace. The Internet infrastructure may not be able to support the demands placed on it by increased usage and bandwidth requirements. Other risks associated with commercial use of the Internet could slow its growth, including: - - inadequate reliability of the network infrastructure; - - slow development of enabling technologies and complementary products; and - - limited availability of cost-effective, high-speed access. - - Delays in the development or adoption of new equipment standards or protocols required to handle increased levels of Internet activity, or increased governmental regulation, could cause the Internet to lose its viability as a means of communication between enterprises and their supply claim partners. If these or any other factors cause use of the Internet for commerce to slow or decline, our business could be harmed. RISK FACTORS ASSOCIATED WITH INTERNATIONAL EXPANSION We believe that expansion of our international operations will be necessary for our future success. Therefore, we believe that we will need to commit significant resources to expand our international operations. A key aspect to our strategy is to expand our sales and support organizations internationally. We employ sales professionals in Europe and are in the early stages of expanding into the Asia Pacific market. If we are unable to successfully enter into and expand these international markets on a timely basis, our business and operating results could be harmed. This expansion may be more difficult or take longer than we anticipate, and we may not be able to successfully market, sell, deliver and support our products internationally. If successful in our international expansion, we will be subject to a number of risks associated with international business activities. These risks include: - - difficulty in providing customer support in multiple time zones; - - need to develop software in multiple foreign languages; - - laws and business practices favoring local competition; - - currency fluctuations; - - longer sales cycles; - - greater difficulty in collecting accounts receivable; - - political and economic instability, particularly in Asia; - - difficulties in enforcing agreements through foreign legal systems; - - unexpected changes in regulatory requirements; - - import or export licensing requirements; - - reduced protection of our intellectual property rights in some countries; and - - multiple conflicting tax laws and regulations. To date, most of our revenues have been denominated in United States dollars. If we experience an increase in the portion of our revenues denominated in foreign currencies, we may incur greater risks in currency fluctuations, particularly since we translate our foreign currency revenues once at the end of each quarter. In the future, our international revenues could be denominated in the Euro, the currency of the European Union. The Euro is an untested currency and may be subject to economic risks that are not currently contemplated. We currently do not engage in foreign exchange hedging activities, and therefore our international revenues and expenses are currently subject to the risks of foreign currency fluctuations. LIMITED PROTECTION OF OUR INTERLECTUAL PROPERTY Our success and ability to compete depend upon our proprietary technology. Despite our efforts to protect our intellectual property, a third party could copy or otherwise obtain our software or other proprietary information without authorization, or could develop software competitive to ours. Our means of protecting our proprietary rights may not be adequate and our competitors may independently develop similar technology, duplicate our products or design around patents that may be issued to us or our other intellectual property. In addition, the laws of some foreign countries do not protect our proprietary rights to as great an extent as do the laws of the United States, and we expect that it will become more difficult to monitor the use of our products if we increase our international presence. We may have to resort to litigation to enforce our intellectual property rights, to protect our trade secrets or know-how or to determine their scope, validity or enforceability. Enforcing or defending our proprietary technology is expensive, could cause the diversion of our resources, and may not prove successful. Our protective measures may prove inadequate to protect our proprietary rights, and any failure to enforce or protect our rights could cause us to lose a valuable asset. Our competitors may independently develop similar technology, duplicate our products or design around any patents that may be issued to us or our other intellectual property. SUBJECT TO INTERLECTUAL PROPERTY INFRINGEMENT CLAIMS There has been a substantial amount of litigation in the software and Internet industries regarding intellectual property rights. It is possible that, in the future, third parties may claim that we or our current or potential future products infringe their intellectual property. We expect that software product developers and providers of electronic commerce solutions will increasingly be subject to infringement claims as the number of products and competitors in our industry segment grows and the functionality of products in industry segments overlaps. Any claims, with or without merit, could be time-consuming, result in costly litigation, cause product shipment delays or require us to enter into royalty or licensing agreements. If our products were found to infringe a third party's proprietary rights, we could be required to enter into royalty or licensing agreements in order to continue to be able to sell our products. Royalty or licensing agreements, if required, may not be available on terms acceptable to us or at all, which could seriously harm our business. We integrate third-party software into our products. This third-party software may not continue to be available on commercially reasonable terms. We depend on third party licenses, including licenses for our servers, encryption and security software. If we cannot maintain licenses to this third-party software at an acceptable cost, shipments of our products could be delayed until equivalent software could be developed or licensed and integrated into our products, which could substantially harm our business, operating results and financial condition. SEASONALITY OF REVENUE We have experienced, and expect to continue to experience, seasonality in our license revenues and results of operations, with a disproportionately greater amount of our license revenues for any fiscal year being recognized in our fourth fiscal quarter. As a result, our first quarter revenues can be less than those of the preceding quarter. If we introduce products that are sold in a manner different from how we currently market our products, we could recognize revenue differently than under our current accounting policies. Depending on the manner in which we sell future products, this could have the effect of extending the length of time over which we recognize revenues. Furthermore, our quarterly revenues could be significantly affected based on how applicable accounting standards are amended or interpreted over time. Due to these and other factors, we believe that period-to-period comparisons of our results of operations are not meaningful and should not be relied upon as indicators of our future performance. It is possible that in some future periods our results of operations may be below the expectations of public market analysts and investors. If this occurs, the price of our common stock may decline. We Will Depend on the Commercial Success of Our Product Suite, Which Has Not Yet Been Shipped We have generated substantially all of our revenues from licenses and services related to current and prior versions of our product suite. Our Quarterly Operating Results Fluctuate and Are Difficult to Predict, and if Our Future Results are Below the Expectations of Public Market Analysts or Investors, the Price of Our Common Stock May Decline Our quarterly operating results have varied significantly in the past and are likely to vary significantly in the future, which makes it difficult for us to predict our future operating results. This quarter-to-quarter fluctuation is due to a number of factors, any of which could harm our business and operating results, including the following: - - demand for our products; - - size and timing of sales and installations of our products; - - product and price competition; - - our unpredictable sales cycle; - - our ability to successfully expand our direct sales force; - - our ability to develop and market new and enhanced products on a timely basis; - - deferral of customer orders in anticipation of product enhancements or new products; - - continued purchases by our existing customers, including additional licenses and maintenance contracts; - - delays in our customers' orders due to their year 2000 priorities; - - variability in the mix of our license and professional service revenues; - - our ability to accurately price fixed-priced professional services projects; - - variability in the mix of professional services that we perform versus those performed for our customers by others; . software defects; - - technological changes in our market; - - our ability to establish and maintain relationships with our third-party implementation partners; - - changes in our sales force incentives; - - expansion of our international sales organization and increase in international sales; - - the loss of any key employees and timing of our new hires; and - - general economic factors. License revenues in any quarter can be difficult to forecast because they depend on orders shipped or installed in that quarter. Moreover, we typically recognize a substantial percentage of revenues in the last month of each quarter. A high percentage of our operating expenses are essentially fixed in the short term. As a result, if we experience delays in recognizing revenue, we could experience significant variations in operating results from quarter to quarter. In addition, we expect our operating expenses to increase as we expand our engineering and sales and marketing operations, broaden our customer support capabilities, develop new distribution channels and strategic alliances, fund increased levels of research and development and build our operational infrastructure. If our revenues do not grow faster than the increase in these expenses, our business and operating results could be harmed. DEPENDENT ON LICENSED TECHNOLOGY FROM A THIRD PARTY We license technology on a non-exclusive basis from several businesses for use with our products, including licenses from Microsoft Corporation for our servers and Macromedia Corporation for our multimedia development tools, from RSA Data Security, Inc. for security and encryption technology software, and from Adobe Systems Inc. for our graphic software tools. We anticipate that we will continue to license technology from third parties in the future. Some of the software we license from third parties would be difficult to replace. This software may not continue to be available on commercially reasonable terms, if at all. The loss or inability to maintain any of these technology licenses could result in delays in the licensing of our products until equivalent technology, if available, is identified, licensed and integrated. In addition, the effective implementation of our products depends upon the successful operation of third-party licensed products in conjunction with our products, and therefore any undetected errors in these licensed products may prevent the implementation or impair the functionality of products, delay new product introductions and/or injure our reputation. The increased use of third-party software could require us to enter into license agreements with third parties, which could result in higher royalty payments and a loss of product differentiation. WE FACE INTENSE COMPETITION WITH OTHER ONLINE PROVIDERS OF HEALTHCARE TECHNOLOGY. The market for providing healthcare information online is intensely competitive, and we expect competition to increase in the future. Our business has low barriers to entry, and we cannot guarantee that we will compete successfully against our current or potential competitors, especially those with significantly greater financial resources or brand name recognition. Our current competitors include, E-Medsoft.com, Medscape.com, Dr. Koop.com and Healtheon/WebMD. We have yet to derive significant revenues as an online provider of healthcare information and Tele-medicine company. Mergers or consolidations among our competitors, or acquisitions of small competitors by larger companies, would make such combined entities more formidable competitors to us. Large companies may have advantages over us because of their longer operating histories, greater name recognition, or greater financial, technical and marketing resources. As a result, they may be able to adapt more quickly to new or emerging technologies and changes in customer requirements. They can also devote greater resources to the promotion and sale of their products or services than we can. For the above reasons, we may not be able to compete successfully against our current and future competitors. Increased competition may result in reduced gross margins and loss of market share. WE FACE RAPID TECHNOLOGICAL CHANGE IN OUR INDUSTRY. Rapid changes in technology pose significant risks to us. To remain successful, we must continue to change, adapt and improve our content and delivery mediums in response to changes in technology. Our future success hinges on our ability to both continue to enhance our current content and to successfully market this content. We cannot be sure that we will successfully develop and market new content. Any failure by us to timely develop and disseminate new or to update and enhance our current content could adversely affect our business, operating results and financial condition. CONFLICT OF INTEREST - MANAGEMENT'S FIDUCIARY DUTIES. Our director and Officer are or may become, in their individual capacities, an officer, director, controlling shareholder and/or partner of other entities engaged in a variety of businesses. Anthony C. Dike, our founder, chairman and CEO is engaged in business activities outside of us, and the amount of time he will devote to our business will only be about five (5) to twenty (20) hours per week. There exist potential conflicts of interest including allocation of time between us and such other business entities. CONTROL BY PRESENT MANAGEMENT AND SHAREHOLDERS. Assuming the sale of all the shares offered to persons other than existing shareholders, the shares of common stock purchased by the public will represent 9% of our outstanding common stock after the completion of this offering. Therefore, our present stockholders will own 91% of us and will continue to be able to elect our director, appoint our officer, and control our affairs and operations. Our articles of incorporation do not provide for cumulative voting. SHARES ELIGIBLE FOR FUTURE SALE. Of the common shares outstanding after the offering, up to 3,000,000 shares including those sold in this offering will be registered with the SEC and can be freely resold, unless they are acquired by our directors, executive officers or other persons or entities that they control or who control them. Our directors, executive officers, and persons or entities that they control or who control them will be able to sell shares of stock so long as they do so without violating SEC Rule 144. The remaining 8,000,000 outstanding shares may only be sold under the Rule 144 until such time as they are registered. We have made no guarantees to any of our existing shareholders that this registration statement will be approved by SEC. Rule 144 provides that director, executive officer, and persons or entities that they control or who control them may sell shares of common stock in any three-month period in an amount limited to the greater of: -1% of our outstanding shares of common stock or The average weekly trading volume in our common stock during the four calendar weeks preceding a sale. Sales under the rule also must be made without violating: - Manner-of-sale provisions in the market through a broker at current market prices - Notice requirements forms must be filed with the SEC - Requirement of availability of public information about us current in filing required SEC reports. We cannot predict the effect that sales of shares or the availability of shares for sale will have on the any market price that may exist for our common stock after completion of the offering. It is likely that sales of substantial amounts of our common stock in the public market could drive our stock price down. INCREASE IN GOVERNMENTAL REGULATIONS OF MARKETING OF SOFTWARE PRODUCTS As Internet commerce continues to evolve, we expect that federal, state and foreign governments will adopt laws and regulations covering issues such as user privacy, taxation of goods and services provided over the Internet, pricing, content and quality of products and services. It is possible that legislation could expose companies involved in electronic commerce to liability, taxation or other increased costs, any of which could limit the growth of electronic commerce generally. Legislation could dampen the growth in Internet usage and decrease its acceptance as a communications and commercial medium. If enacted, these laws and regulations could limit the market for our products. WE DEPEND ON OUR KEY PERSONNEL. Our future success also depends on our continuing ability to attract and retain highly qualified personnel. The competition for employees at all levels of our industry is increasingly intense. Furthermore, in order to promote the development of our Web Site, we will need to identify, attract and retain software engineers, web designers and content editors. If we do not succeed in attracting such new employees and retaining and motivating our current employees, our business could suffer significantly. WE ARE SUBJECT TO RISKS RELATING TO THE YEAR 2000. Many currently installed computer systems and software products accept only two-digit entries in the date code field. These date code fields will need to accept four digit entries to distinguish 21st century dates from 20th century dates. As a result, computer systems and software used by many companies and governmental agencies may need to be upgraded to comply with such "Year 2000" requirements. Non-compliant computer systems or software may cause system failure or result in miscalculations that will cause disruptions of normal business activities. Although we have designed all of the products that we currently offer to be Year 2000 compliant, we cannot assure you that our products contain all necessary date code changes, or that, in the year 2000, our products will be compatible with third-party software that may be integrated or used in conjunction with our products. There can be no assurances that we have identified all Year 2000 issues with respect to our products and products supplied to us by third parties and the failure to do so could have a material adverse effect on our business. Furthermore, there can be no assurance that our estimates related to the Year 2000 issue will prove to be accurate and actual results could differ materially from those currently anticipated. Specific factors that could cause such material differences include, but are not limited to, the ability to identify, assess, and remediate and test all relevant computer codes and embedded technology, and similar uncertainties. In addition, variability of definitions of "compliance with Year 2000" and the myriad of different products and services, and combinations thereof, sold by adam.com may lead to claims whose impact on adam.com is not currently estimable. No assurance can be given that the aggregate cost of defending and resolving such claims, if any, will not materially adversely affect our results of operation. Although some of the our agreements and contracts with third parties contain provisions requiring such parties to indemnify us under some circumstances, there can be no assurance that such indemnification arrangements will cover all of our liabilities and costs related to claims by third parties related to the Year 2000 issue. FUTURE SALES OF OUR COMMON STOCK COULD CAUSE OUR STOCK TO DECLINE IN PRICE. All shares registered in this offering will be freely tradable upon effectiveness of this registration statement. The sale of a significant amount of shares registered in this offering at any given time could cause the trading price of our common stock to decline and to be highly volatile. WE HAVE ADOPTED CERTAIN ANTI-TAKEOVER PROVISIONS THAT MAY DETER A TAKEOVER. Our articles of incorporation and bylaws contain the following provisions that may deter a takeover, including a takeover on terms that many of our shareholders might consider favorable, such as: - - the authority of our board of directors to issue common stock and preferred stock and to determine the price, rights (including voting rights), preferences, privileges and restrictions of each series of preferred stock, without any vote or action by our shareholders; - - the existence of large amounts of authorized but un-issued common stock and preferred stock; - - staggered, three-year terms for our board of directors; and - - advance notice requirements for board of directors nominations and for shareholder proposals. The rights and preferences of any series of preferred stock could include a preference over the common stock on the distribution of our assets upon a liquidation or sale of our company, preferential dividends, redemption rights, the right to elect one or more directors and other voting rights. The rights of the holders of any series of preferred stock that may be issued in the future may adversely affect the rights of the holders of the common stock. We have no current plans to issue preferred stock. In addition, certain provisions of California law and our stock option plan may also discourage, delay or prevent a change in control of our company or unsolicited acquisition proposals. DILUTION The difference between the public offering price per share and the pro forma net tangible book value per share of our Common Stock after this offering constitutes the dilution to investors in this offering. Net tangible book value per share is determined by dividing our net tangible book value (total tangible assets less total liabilities) by the number of our outstanding common shares. The following table illustrates, as of December 31, 1999, the dilution to investors in this offering:
Maximum Minimum Public offering price per Share $5.00 $5.00 Net tangible book value per Share, before this offering $.002 $.002 Increase per Share attributable to Payment by new investors $0.476 $0.05 Net tangible book value per Share, after this offering $0.478 $0.07 Dilution to new investors per Share $4.522 $4.93
As of the date hereof there are currently no plans, proposals, arrangements or understandings with respect to the sale of additional securities to any persons for the period commencing with the closing of this offering. For the maximum offering following table compares between existing shareholders and investors: the number of shares of our Common Stock held, their percentage ownership of such shares, the total consideration paid, the percentage of total consideration paid, and the average price per share:
Shares Purchased Total Consideration Price Per Amount Percentage Paid Percentage Share Existing Shareholders 10,000,000 91% $577,228 10% $ 0.06 New Investors 1,000,000 9% $5,000,000 90% $ 5.00 Total 11,000,000 100% $5,577,228 100%
USE OF PROCEEDS The Company will use the proceed from the 1,000,000 share sold during this offering for working capital and general corporate purposes. We are also registering the shares for sale to provide the holders of the company's shares thereof with freely tradable securities, but the registration of such shares does not necessarily mean that any of such shares will be offered or sold by the holder thereof. THE MARKET FOR COMMON EQUITY AND RELATED STOCKHOLDER MATTERS Our common stock has never been traded in any market. We hope to trade at a minimum on the over-the-counter market, if we are unable to meet the eligibility requirements for NASDAQ Small Cap or NASDAQ National Markets. Our Trading symbol if not yet known. HOLDERS As of December 31, 1999, the end of the physical year, there were 300 registered share-holders of record. DIVIDEND On December 10, 1999, as provided in Article IV of this Corporation's Article of Incorporation, as amended, this corporation has one hundred million (100,000,000) shares of Common Stock authorized and as of December 7, 1999, an aggregate of one hundred thousand (100,000) shares of Common Stock were issued and outstanding. The board of directors by way of a written consent declared a stock dividend of one hundred (100) shares of Common Stock for every one (1) share of common stock currently issued and outstanding, to be payable to shareholders of record as of December 30th, 1999. Meridian Holdings, Inc., the 51% owners of the outstanding shares of the Company's Common Stock declared a dividend simultaneously to all its shareholders of record who owns a share in Meridian Holdings, Inc., to receive five (5) shares of common stock of InterCare.com SELLING SHAREHOLDERS The following table sets forth the number of shares owned by each of the selling shareholders. None of the selling shareholders has had a material relationship with InterCare.com within the past three years other than as a result of the ownership of the shares or other securities of InterCare.com. The shares offered by this prospectus may be offered from time to time by the selling shareholders listed in the Form 8-A DETERMINATION OF OFFERING PRICE We set the offering price of $5.00 per share arbitrarily. This price bears no relation to our assets, book value, or any other customary investment criteria, including our prior operating history or lack thereof. Among factors considered by us in determining the offering price were: Estimates of our business potential Our limited financial resources The amount of equity desired to be retained by present shareholders The amount of dilution to the public The general condition of the securities markets BUSINESS Overview InterCare.com formally known as Inter-Care Diagnostics, Inc., is a leading developer of bio-medical healthcare multi-media content and software technologies. Since February 1991, we have taken steps to become a leading provider of software technologies for neuromuscular re-education, stress management and biofeedback. The company was originally incorporated in 1991 for the purpose of operating a medical diagnostics laboratory and engaging in various medical services to clients. On January 17, 1994, a 6.8 magnitude earthquake centered in Northridge, California caused wide spread damage to commercial and residential structures, and to major freeways, causing business interruptions and disrupting the normal flow of traffic. The Company experienced irreversible damage to all its high-tech computers and diagnostic equipment. Since that time, the Company has been devoting substantially all its efforts to establishing a new business entity that develops software for the healthcare industry and other related activities over the Internet. We have created, published and marketed multimedia software products, content and Internet-ready applications that provide biofeedback, healthcare transactions, medical and health-related information for the education, consumer and professional markets. The company developed the Mirage Systems Multimedia Biofeedback software program ( a cross-platform program : Windows 3.X including windows 95;98 and Apple Macintosh platforms) in 1994, and this software became the first United States FDA approved software program for neuromuscular re-education and biofeedback training. The company also has four other software products in the market including the "Body Pain Trigger Points Program", one of our best selling software products, with over 20,000 copies sold. The company intends to convert all its software programs to run in all the popular operating systems available, including but not limited to Microsoft Windows, Macintosh and Linus or Unix operating systems. During the fiscal year ended December 31, 1994 ("fiscal 1994"), the Company made the strategic decision to focus the majority of its efforts on the online dissemination of consumer health information, resulting in the May 1999 launch of WWW.CAPNET.COM, our consumer health destination, the later which was acquired by Meridian Holdings, Inc., a NASDAQ OTC BB (MEHO) technology oriented company. In connection with this redirected strategy, we also started focusing our efforts on Telemedicine product research and development, as well as conversion of our existing healthcare transaction software program into a web-enabled healthcare transaction management program. The Internet has created new and evolving ways for conducting commerce. According to Forrester Research, business-to-business electronic commerce is expected to grow to $1.3 trillion in 2003, accounting for more than 90% of the dollar value of electronic commerce in the United States. The market for applications that enable business-to-business electronic commerce is expected to reach $1.5 billion by 2002, according to Dataquest. Enterprises that have successfully implemented web-enabled customer interfaces now face the challenge of utilizing the Internet and intranets to gain the same level of increased efficiencies in their supply chain. In the changing world of healthcare, one trend serves the common interests of doctors, patients, and medical administrators: to maintain and increase the quality of care through new and more cost-effective technologies, hence the Company's interest in the emerging healthcare Transactions and tele-medicine services and software applications development. There are several different reports and articles discussing the telemedicine market. Each of them looks at telemedicine in a slightly different way and provides different estimates, as follows: - - Business Communications Company (BCC): BCC is a large consulting firm producing industry reports on many industry sectors. In February 1998 the firm produced a report titled: Telemedicine Opportunities for Medical and Electronic Providers (240 pages, cost: $1,350). Ben Grimley, an industry analyst who specializes in health and information technology issues, prepared the report. BCC estimates that the current U.S. market for telemedicine is $65 million and will reach $3 billion by the year 20 02 based on the high growth rates of leading market segments and an assumption that full reimbursement for telemedicine services will continue to become more common. They predict the overall growth rate for telemedicine to be 35 percent per year over the next five years with a 42 percent increase in public sector investments and an 89 percent growth in sites over the same period. The report cites provider plans for predicting a 280 percent growth in prison telemedicine sites over five years and a doubling of military investment over seven years. The predicted rates of growth for telemedicine is particularly important given the firm's prediction that the market for overall health-care related information is expected to grow only three percent per year. - - Feedback Research Services (FRS): FRS is a market research firm specializing in high-tech health care delivery systems. Overall, FRS states that the current annual U.S. market for telepathology, teleradiology, and videoconferencing telemedicine systems is under $100 million. According to FRS, telemedicine-related videoconferencing equipment sales in Europe, North America, and the Pacific Rim accounted for $250 million in revenues in 1996. They estimate that worldwide sales of products and services during the 1990s reached an estimated $520 million, cumulative, through the year-end of 1996. They project the annual worldwide growth rate to be 15 percent. They project that Europe and the Pacific Rim combined may represent cumulative telemedicine expenditures of $1.4 billion by 2001. - - Frost and Sullivan (F&S): F&S is an international marketing, consulting and training firm covering many different markets. A representative from F&S wrote an article in the April 1998 issue of ADVANCE for Administrators in Radiology & Radiation Oncology that provided market forecasts for PACS and Teleradiology. According to the article, the current total PACS and teleradiology systems market revenue for the U.S. and Europe is estimated for 1998 at $368.8 million with the United States generating 81 percent of this market. They project a growth rate of about 28 percent over the next six years yielding a total annual market of $1.6 billion by 2004. In a separate report on U.S. hospital communications equipment markets, including telemedicine videoconferencing as well as other segments, F&S forecasts a 30 percent growth in this market. - - Waterford Advisors: Waterford Advisors is an investment firm specializing in healthcare and information systems. The firm has developed the Waterford Telemedicine Index (WTI), an index of stock prices from various telemedicine-related companies. WTI was debuted in the April 1998 issue of Telemedicine and Telehealth Networks and will be a regular feature of the magazine. The index does not attempt to predict market size. Rather, the index is designed to be a monitor of the overall performance of the industry and a way to estimate the economic value of telemedicine companies. Since the index is new, there is little information about the recent performance of telemedicine companies in the market. The index currently includes 38 companies. - - HIMSS annual leadership survey: The Healthcare Information and Systems Society (HIMSS) recently conducted their ninth annual survey of senior healthcare executives. Of the 1,754 respondents, 34 percent reported that their organizations currently use telemedicine, ten-percent plan on using telemedicine within the next 21 months and 28 percent are investigating its use in the future. - - Telemedicine and Telehealth Networks Survey: The Telemedicine and Telehealth Networks magazine recently completed a survey of selected telemedicine program managers. Ninety-three percent reported that they expect to expand their operations in the next five years. OUR PROPRIETARY PRODUCTS - - The Mirage Systems Body Pain Trigger Points Software programs (Both Macintosh and Windows versions) - - The Mirage Systems Multimedia Biofeedback Software Programs (Both Macintosh and Windows versions) - - The Mirage Systems Internet-based Healthcare Transaction Management Software Program - - The Mirage Systems Stress Profiling Software Programs (Both Macintosh and Windows versions) - - The Mirage Systems Electro-Diagnostics Scan Site Program (Both Macintosh and Windows versions) Our Business Strategy We intend to capitalize on the enormous public attention focused on the Internet and healthcare transactions by increasing our telemarketing sales and technical support staff, targeting our advertising to our core audience, and by providing the most efficient, lowest-cost healthcare transactions management and Tele-Medicine service to our prospective clients. Our Competitive Advantages OUR KNOWLEDGEABLE AND GROWING SALES FORCE AND TECHNICAL STAFF. We will be making sure that the sales force is trained on the "high-end" networking elements in which we deal so they will be able to service the needs of their customers. OUR BUSINESS MODEL OPTIMIZES COST, EFFICIENCY AND FLEXIBILITY. We have addressed the largest cost factor in the methodology for deploying our services through a outsourcing strategy rather than a building the human resources from the scratch strategy. This keeps start-up costs as low as possible. OUR STRATEGIC PARTNER STRENGTH. Partnerships with CGI Communications Services, Inc., Capnet Gateway Online Services, Meridian Holdings, Inc., Netsales, Inc., Ingram-Micro Inc., DigitalRiver Corporation, and others, will give us the ability to deliver our products and solutions faster and at a lower cost than the competition. INTEGRATION. We can seamlessly integrate all of the different technological solutions and custom applications development. We use different strategic partners to tailor the optimum solution for our customer. AUTOMATION AND ADVANCED TELECOMMUNICATIONS TECHNOLOGY. Our Network Management tools are automated which leads to less downtime, and lower labor costs. We use the latest equipment, work closely with strategic partners that are forerunners in their fields, and are not hampered by existing legacy infrastructures. OUR CUSTOMIZED CUSTOMER APPROACH. We emphasize direct relationships with our customers. These relationships enable us to learn information from our customers about their needs and preferences and help us expand our service offerings to include additional value-added services based on customer demand. We believe that these customer relationships increase customer loyalty and reduce turnover. In addition, our existing customers have provided customer referrals and we believe strong relationships will result in customer referrals in the future. Our success depends upon careful planning and the selection of partners. We can meet the customer's needs more efficiently with entrenched procedures. This enables us to excel at customer service. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF THE FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS The following discussion should be read in conjunction with our financial statements and notes thereto, as well as the other information included elsewhere in this prospectus. Our discussion contains forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties, including those referring to the period of time the Company's existing capital resources will meet the Company's future capital needs, the Company's future operating results, the market acceptance of the services of the Company, the Company's efforts to establish and the development of new services, and the Company's planned investment in the marketing of its current services and research and development with regard to future endeavors, The Company's actual results could differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements as a result of certain factors, including: domestic and global economic patterns and trends. Results of Operations We have experienced, and expect to continue to experience, seasonality in our license revenues and results of operations, with a disproportionately greater amount of our license revenues for any fiscal year being recognized in our fourth fiscal quarter. As a result, our first quarter revenues can be less than those of the preceding quarter. If we introduce products that are sold in a manner different from how we currently market our products, we could recognize revenue differently than under our current accounting policies. Depending on the manner in which we sell future products, this could have the effect of extending the length of time over which we recognize revenues. Furthermore, our quarterly revenues could be significantly affected based on how applicable accounting standards are amended or interpreted over time. Due to these and other factors, we believe that period-to-period comparisons of our results of operations are not meaningful and should not be relied upon as indicators of our future performance. It is possible that in some future periods our results of operations may be below the expectations of public market analysts and investors. If this occurs, the price of our common stock may decline. We Will Depend on the Commercial Success of Our Product Suite, Which Has Not Yet Been Shipped We have generated substantially all of our revenues from licenses and services related to current and prior versions of our product suite. REVENUES. Total revenues decreased 52% to $6,629 in the year ending December 31, 1999 compared to $13,795 for December 31, 1998. The revenue was generated from collections from previous years account receivables and consulting services. No revenue has been generated from activities related to providing health related content over the Internet, including page view-based and Internet Healthcare Transaction software licensing. The Company projects a revenue of $1,000,000 on a proforma basis for the year 2000, assuming adequate capital is raised from this offering to help finance a comprehensive marketing and advertisement campaign. COST OF REVENUES. Cost of revenues decreased 13% to $252 for the year ending December 31, 1999 compared to $289 in the comparable period in 1998. This decrease in the cost of revenue is due to our transition from hard-copy software sale to electronic download over the Internet, with resultant decrease in software product shipment. Amortization of capitalized software development costs will continue in the future to bring levels closer to expected future revenues to be generated, or net realizable value. Any future reduction in net realizable value during the next coming year will be as a result of our decision not to support certain products moving forward and instead to focus on development and execution of our Internet strategies. SALES AND MARKETING. Only minimal sales and marketing has been done by the company, since focusing most of its resources at the moment in our Internet strategies, and software enhancement, testing and debugging. The company is budgeting over $250,000 for its initial roll-out of new products sales and marketing campaign during the first quarter of the year 2,000, assuming more capital is raised from this offering to pay for such an expense. PRODUCT AND CONTENT DEVELOPMENT. Product and content development expenses is anticipated to increase significantly during the next coming year, due to website redesign and other Internet initiative launch costs, consisting primarily of personnel and consulting cost. The company projects to spend over $250,000 during the next 12 months to fund project and content development. As a result of the Company's decision in fiscal 1999 to no longer develop traditional products, capitalized software development costs was $0. GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE. General and administrative expenses increased 41% for the year ending December 31, 1999 to $107,295 compared to $62,829 in comparable period in 1998 primarily due to the additional operating costs of increased personnel requirement. The company anticipates future increase in General and administrative expense as it embarks on aggressive product development, sales and marketing with its' associated increase in personnel cost, legal and accounting expenses. OPERATING LOSS. As a result of the factors described above, the operating expenses increased from $76,333 for the year ending December 31, 1998 to $120,800 for year ending December 31, 1999. The company expects further increase in operating expense on a proforma basis up to $752,342 for the year 2000, assuming additional funding is raised from this offering to be used in financing future operating costs. There is no guarantee that the company will be able to raise additional funds to finance all the anticipated operating cost. In absence of such funds being available, the company may not be able to operate, and this could have a material impact in the overall execution of the companies business plan. NET LOSS. The Company had a net loss of $114,423 or $.011 per share for the year ended December 31, 1999, compared with net loss of $62,827 or $.006 per share for the year ended December 31, 1998. The proforma projected revenue for the year 2000 is $122,658 assuming the company is able to raise the appropriate funds to finance its business plan. LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES The Company has experienced a substantial increase in expenditures since the launch of our Internet strategy through the growth in those operations and related staffing. Management anticipates that these increased expenditure levels will continue for the foreseeable future. Management anticipates incurring additional expenses to increase our marketing and sales efforts, for content development and for technology and infrastructure development. Additionally, we will continue to evaluate possible investments in businesses, products and technologies and the expansion of our marketing and sales programs. The Company uses working capital to finance ongoing operations, fund the development and introduction of our new business strategy and acquire capital equipment. All the operating cost of the company is being borne by Meridian Holdings, Inc., the parent company. After this offering, the company will become an independent entity, and will have to seek for further funding to cover its operating cost. There is no guarantee that the company will be able to raise additional funds, and if such funds becomes available, the cost incurred for securing such funds may not be on favorable terms to the company, and this could have an adverse impact on the entire operation. Plan of Operations Management believes the Company has adequate capital resources to meet anticipated needs for working capital and capital expenditures through the end of December 1999, but the Company needs to enhance its capital resources in order to provide it with sufficient cash to meet its current operating needs and to address such needs through the end of March 2000. If the Company is unable to enhance its capital resources, the Company will be forced to reduce its spending on capital expenditures and product development until such financing is obtained. The Company currently is exploring a number of alternatives, including borrowings, the issuance of debt and/or equity securities, and other strategic transactions to enhance its cash position. Management is optimistic that the Company will be able to meet its liquidity needs through one or more of such alternatives under consideration; however, there can be no assurance that any particular alternative will be available on terms favorable to the Company, or at all. Further, any financing or capital transaction would be subject to customary closing conditions. If additional funds are raised by the issuance of equity securities, our shareholders may experience dilution of their ownership interest and these securities may have rights senior to those of the holders of the common stock. If additional funds are raised by the issuance of debt securities, we may be subject to certain limitations on our operations, including limitations on the payment of dividends. The Company may also issue equity securities for acquisitions of businesses or health information content to use in the Company's website or other internet based product offerings.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT To the Board of Directors InterCare.com, Inc. We have audited the accompanying balance sheet of InterCare.com, Inc. at December 31, 1999 and the related statements of changes in stockholders' equity, operations, and cash flows for the period from January 1, 1998 to December 31, 1999. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit. We conducted our audit in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion. In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of InterCare.com, Inc. at December 31, 1999, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the period then ended, in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles. The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. However, the Company has minimal capital resources presently available to meet obligations which normally can be expected to be incurred by similar companies, and with which to carry out its planned activities. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. Management's plans in regard to this matter are discussed in Note 2. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty. Andrew M Smith, CPA Long Beach, California January, 2000 INTERCARE.COM, INC.

The accompanying notes are an integral part of this statement. INTERCARE.COM, INC. Notes to the Financial Statements 1. ORGANIZATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES Organization. InterCare.com formally known as Inter-Care Diagnostics, Inc., (the "Company") was Incorporated under the laws of the State of California in February 1991. The is a leading developer of healthcare multi-media content and software technologies, and since February 1991, the company have taken steps to become a leading provider of software technologies for neuromuscular re-education, stress management and biofeedback. The company was originally incorporated in 1991 for the purpose of operating a medical diagnostics laboratory and engaging in various medical services to clients. On January 17, 1994, a 6.8 magnitude earthquake centered in Northridge, California caused wide spread damage to commercial and residential structures, and to major freeways, causing business interruptions and disrupting the normal flow of traffic. The Company experienced irreversible damage to all its high-tech computers and diagnostic equipment. Since that time, the Company has been devoting substantially all its efforts to establishing a new business entity that develops software for the healthcare industry and other related activities over the Internet. The company have created, published and marketed multimedia software products, content and Internet-ready applications that provide biofeedback, healthcare transactions, medical and health-related information for the education, consumer and professional markets. The company developed the Mirage Systems Multimedia Biofeedback software program ( a cross-platform program : Windows 3.X including windows 95;98 and Apple Macintosh platforms) in 1994, and this software became the first FDA approved software program for neuromuscular re-education and biofeedback training. The company also has four other software products in the market including the "Body Pain Trigger Points Program", one of our best selling software products, with over 20,000 copies sold. The company intends to convert all its software programs to run in all the popular operating systems available, including but not limited to Microsoft Windows, Macintosh and Linus or Unix operating systems. On September 27, 1999, the Company, announced that it has executed an Electronic Commerce Agreement with Netsales, Inc., in which Netsales will distribute Intercare's softwareprograms through more than 140,000 loyal reseller customers in 130 countries of Ingram Micro, the largest provider of computer technology products and servicesin the world. The company had entered into similar agreement earlier, with DigitalRiver, Inc.,in which DigitalRiver will market the company's software program through major retailers such as CompUSA, Wal-Mart, and other Internet software resellers. Estimates. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect certain reported amounts and disclosures. Accordingly, actual results could differ from those estimates. Deferred Costs Related To Proposed Public Offering. Costs incurred in connection with the proposed public offering of common stock have been deferred and will be charged against capital if the offering is successful or against operations if it is unsuccessful. The estimated expenses of this offering in connection with the issuance and distribution of the securities being registered, all of which are to be paid by the Registrant, are as follows:
Registration Fee $ 1,320.00 Legal Fees and Expenses 5,000.00 Accounting Fees and Expenses 2,000.00 Printing 240.00 Miscellaneous Expenses 820.80 Total $ 9460.80 ==========
Shares Issued In Exchange For Services. The fair value of shares issued in exchange for services rendered to the Company was determined by the Company's officers and directors. Income Taxes. The Company has made no provision for income taxes because of accumulated business and tax losses since its inception. Net Loss Per Common Share. The net loss per common share is computed by dividing the net loss for the period by the weighted average number of shares outstanding. For purposes of computing the weighted average number of shares, all stock issued with regards to the founding of the Company is considered to be "cheap stock" as defined in SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin 4D and is therefore counted as outstanding for the entire period. 2. GOING CONCERN CONTINGENCY The Company has minimal capital resources presently available to meet obligations which normally can be expected to be incurred by similar companies, and with which to carry out its planned activities. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. In order to begin any significant operations, the Company will have to pursue other sources of capital, such as additional equity financing as discussed in Note 4. There is no assurance that the Company will be able to obtain such financing. The accompanying financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty. 3. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS The company's majority shareholder Anthony C. Dike, is also the principal of MMG Investments, Inc. MMG Investments Inc., made an equity investment of an aggregate of $75,000 in exchange for 9,000 shares of common stock of the company in February 1991. On September 18th, 1999, pursuant to a Stock Purchase Agreement dated September 18th, 1999 (the "Stock Purchase Agreement") by and among the Registrant ("Seller"), and Meridian Holdings, Inc., (a Colorado Corporation) ("Buyer"), the Registrant sold 51,000 shares of Common Stock at 0 par value, representing 51% of all the issued and outstanding shares to Meridian Holdings, Inc., in exchange for "Banner" Advertisement and Promotion of Intercare Products and Services on all high traffic websites of Meridian Holdings, Inc., as well as assumption of current and future software development costs and debts of Intercare.com totaling $513,700, hence this amount was not reflected in the December 31, 1999 balance sheet. 4. CONTINGENT PUBLIC OFFERING OF COMMON STOCK On December 31, 1999, the board of directors authorized the Company to sell in a public offering a minimum of 100,000 and a maximum of 1,000,000 shares of common stock pursuant to an effective registration statement on Form SB-2 filed under the Securities Act of 1933. Each share shall have a purchase price of $5.00. Proceeds from the public offering shall be for working capital and General Corporate purposes. 5. LEGAL FEE The Company has agreed to pay its corporate attorney, who is also a stockholder of the Company, $5000 cash for his legal services relative to the public offering upon the registration statement for the public offering (see Note 4 above) becoming effective. This obligation has been accrued in the accompanying balance sheet and the costs are included in deferred public offering costs. PART II INFORMATION NOT REQUIRED IN PROSPECTUS ITEM 24.

Notice of a shareholders' meeting shall be given either personally or by first-class mail, or other means of written communication, charges prepaid, addressed to the shareholder at the address of such shareholder appearing on the books of the corporation or given by the shareholder to the corporation for the purpose of notice; or if no such address appears or is given, at the place where the principal executive office of the corporation is located or by publication at least once in a newspaper of general circulation in the county in which the principal executive office is located. The notice shall be deemed to have been given at the time when delivered personally or deposited in the mail or sent by other means of written communication. An affidavit of mailing of any notice executed by the secretary, assistant secretary or any transfer agent, shall be prima facie evidence of the giving of the notice. Adjourned Meeting and Notice Thereof. Any meeting of shareholders may be - ---------------------------------------- adjourned from time to time by the vote of a majority of the shares represented either in person or by proxy whether or not a quorum is present. When a shareholders' meeting is adjourned to another time or place, notice need not be given of the adjourned meeting if the time and place thereof are announced at the meeting at which the adjournment is taken. At the adjourned meeting the corporation may transact any business which might have been transacted at the original meeting. However, if the adjournment is for more than 45 days or if after the adjournment a new record date is fixed for the adjourned meeting, a notice of the adjourned meeting shall be given to each shareholder of record entitled to vote at the meeting. Waiver of Notice. The transactions of any meeting of shareholders, however - ------------------ called and noticed, and wherever held, are as valid as though had at a meeting duly held after regular call and notice, if a quorum is present either in person or by proxy, and if, either before or after the meeting, each of the persons entitled to vote, not present in person or by proxy, signs a written waiver of notice or a consent to the holding of the meeting or an approval of the minutes thereof. The waiver of notice or consent need not specify either the business to be transacted or the purpose of any annual or special meeting of shareholders, except that if action is taken or proposed to be taken for approval of any of those matters specified in the second paragraph of subparagraph (d) of Section 2.1 of this Article II, the waiver of notice or consent shall state the general nature of the proposal. All such waivers, consents and approvals shall be filed with the corporate records or made a part of the minutes of the meeting. Quorum. The presence in person or by proxy of the persons entitled to vote a - ------ majority of the shares entitled to vote at any meeting shall constitute a quorum for the transaction of business. If a quorum is present, the affirmative vote of the majority of the shares represented and voting at the meeting (which shares voting affirmatively also constitute at least a majority of the required quorum) shall be the act of the shareholders, unless the vote of a greater number or voting by classes is required by law or the Articles of Incorporation of the corporation. The shareholders present at a duly called or held meeting at which a quorum is present may continue to transact business until adjournment notwithstanding the withdrawal of enough shareholders to leave less than a quorum, provided that any action taken (other than adjournment) must be approved by at least a majority of the shares required to constitute a quorum. Action Without a Meeting. Any action which may be taken at any annual or - --------------------------- special meeting of shareholders may be taken without a meeting and without prior notice, if a consent in writing, setting forth the action so taken, shall be signed by the holders of outstanding shares having not less than the minimum number of votes that would be necessary to authorize or take such action at a meeting at which all shares entitled to vote thereon were present and voted. Notwithstanding the foregoing, directors may not be elected by written consent except by unanimous written consent of all shares entitled to vote for the election of directors, except as provided by Section 3.4 hereof. Where the approval of shareholders is given without a meeting by less than unanimous written consent, unless the consents of all shareholders entitled to vote have been solicited in writing, the secretary shall give prompt notice of the corporate action approved by the shareholders without a meeting. In the case of approval of transactions pursuant to Section 310, 317, 1201 or 2007 of the General Corporation Law of the State of California, the notice shall be given at least 10 days before the consummation of any action authorized by that approval. Such notice shall be given in the same manner as notice of shareholders' meeting. Voting of Shares. - ------------------ In General. Except as otherwise provided in the Articles of Incorporation and subject to subparagraph (b) hereof, each outstanding share, regardless of class, shall be entitled to one (1) vote on each matter submitted to a vote of shareholders. Cumulative Voting. At any election of directors, every shareholder complying - ------------------ with this paragraph (b) and entitled to vote may cumulate his or her votes and give one (1) candidate a number of votes equal to the number of directors to be elected multiplied by the number of votes to which the shareholder's shares are entitled, or distribute the shareholder's votes on the same principle among as many candidates as the shareholder thinks fit. No shareholder shall be entitled to cumulate votes (i.e., cast for any one (1) or more candidates a number of votes greater than the number of votes which such shareholder normally is entitled to cast) unless such candidate or candidates' names have been placed in nomination prior to the voting and the shareholder has given notice at the meeting prior to the voting of the shareholder's intention to cumulate the shareholder's votes. If any one (1) shareholder has given such notice, all shareholders may cumulate their votes for candidates in nomination. In any election of directors, the candidates receiving the highest number of affirmative votes up to the number of directors to be elected by such shares are elected; votes against a director and votes withheld shall have no legal effect. Election by Ballot. Elections for directors need not be by ballot unless a - -------------------- shareholder demands election by ballot at the meeting and before the voting begins. Proxies. Every person entitled to vote shares may authorize another person or - ------- persons to act by proxy with respect to such shares. No proxy shall be valid after the expiration of 11 months from the date thereof unless otherwise provided in the proxy. Every proxy continues in full force and effect until revoked by the person executing it prior to the vote pursuant thereto, except as otherwise herein provided. Such revocation may be effected by a writing delivered to the corporation stating that the proxy is revoked or by a subsequent proxy executed by the person executing the prior proxy and presented to the meeting, or as to any meeting by attendance at such meeting and voting in person by the person executing the proxy. The dates contained on the forms of proxy presumptively determine the order of execution, regardless of the postmark dates on the envelopes in which they are mailed. A proxy is not revoked by the death or incapacity of the maker unless, before the vote is counted, written notice of such death or incapacity is received by the corporation. The revocability of a proxy that states on its face that it is irrevocable shall be governed by the provisions of Sections 705(e) and 705(f) of the California General Corporation Law. Inspectors of Election. - ------------------------ Appointment. In advance of any meeting of shareholders the Board may appoint - ----------- inspectors of election to act at the meeting and any adjournment thereof. If inspectors of election are not so appointed, or if any persons so appointed fail to appear or refuse to act, the chairman of any meeting of shareholders may, and on the request of any shareholder or a shareholder's proxy shall, appoint inspectors of election (or persons to replace those who so fail or refuse) at the meeting. The number of inspectors shall be either one (1) or three (3). If appointed at a meeting on the request of one (1) or more shareholders or proxies, the majority of shares represented in person or by proxy shall determine whether one (1) or three (3) inspectors are to be appointed. Duties. The inspectors of election shall determine the number of shares - ------ outstanding and the voting power of each, the shares represented at the meeting, the existence of a quorum and the authenticity, validity and effect of proxies, receive votes, ballots or consents, hear and determine all challenges and questions in any way arising in connection with the right to vote, count and tabulate all votes or consents, determine when the polls shall close, determine the result and do such acts as may be proper to conduct the election or vote with fairness to all shareholders. The inspectors of election shall perform their duties impartially, in good faith, to the best of their ability and as expeditiously as is practical. If there are three inspectors of election, the decision, act or certificate of a majority is effective in all respects as the decision, act or certificate of all. Any report or certificate made by the inspectors of election is prima facie evidence of the facts stated therein. Record Date. In order that the corporation may determine the shareholders - ------------ entitled to notice of any meeting or to vote or entitled to receive payment of any dividend or other distribution or allotment of any rights or entitled to exercise any rights in respect of any other lawful action, the Board may fix, in advance, a record date, which shall not be more than 60 nor less than 10 days prior to the date of such meeting nor more than 60 days prior to any other action. If no record date is fixed: The record date for determining shareholders entitled to notice of or to vote at a meeting of shareholders shall be at the close of business on the business day next preceding the day on which notice is given or, if notice is waived, at the close of business on the business day next preceding the day on which the meeting is held. The record date for determining shareholders entitled to give consent to corporate action in writing without a meeting, when no prior action by the Board has been taken, shall be the day on which the first written consent is given. The record date for determining shareholders for any other purpose shall be at the close of business on the day on which the Board adopts the resolution relating thereto, or the 60th day prior to the date of such other action, whichever is later. A determination of shareholders of record entitled to notice of or to vote at a meeting of shareholders shall apply to any adjournment of the meeting unless the board fixes a new record date for the adjourned meeting, but the board shall fix a new record date if the meeting is adjourned for more than 45 days from the date set for the original meeting. Shareholders at the close of business on the record date are entitled to notice and to vote or to receive the dividend, distribution or allotment of rights or to exercise the rights, as the case may be, notwithstanding any transfer of any shares on the books of the corporation after the record date, except as otherwise provided in the Articles of Incorporation or by agreement or in the California General Corporation Law. Share Certificates. - ------------------- In General. The corporation shall issue a certificate or certificates representing shares of its capital stock. Each certificate so issued shall be signed in the name of the corporation by the chairman or vice chairman of the board or the president or a vice president and by the chief financial officer or an assistant treasurer or the secretary or any assistant secretary, shall state the name of the record owner thereof and shall certify the number of shares and the class or series of shares represented thereby. Any or all of the signatures on the certificate may be facsimile. In case any officer, transfer agent or registrar who has signed or whose facsimile signature has been placed upon a certificate has ceased to be such officer, transfer agent or registrar before such certificate is issued, it may be issued by the corporation with the same effect as if such person were an officer, transfer agent or registrar at the date of issue. Two or More Classes or Series. If the shares of the corporation are classified - ------------------------------ or if any class of shares has two or more series, there shall appear on the certificate one (1) of the following: A statement of the rights, preferences, privileges, and restrictions granted to or imposed upon the respective classes or series of shares authorized to be issued and upon the holders thereof; or A summary of such rights, preferences, privileges and restrictions with reference to the provisions of the Articles of Incorporation and any certificates of determination establishing the same; or A statement setting forth the office or agency of the corporation from which shareholders may obtain upon request and without charge, a copy of the statement referred to in subparagraph (1). Special Restrictions.

If the shares are assessable, a statement that they are assessable. If the shares are not fully paid, a statement of the total consideration to be paid therefor and the amount paid thereon. The fact that the shares are subject to a voting agreement or an irrevocable proxy or restrictions upon voting rights contractually imposed by the corporation. The fact that the shares are redeemable. The fact that the shares are convertible and the period for conversion. Transfer of Certificates. Where a certificate for shares is presented to the - -------------------------- corporation or its transfer clerk or transfer agent with a request to register a - -- transfer of shares, the corporation shall register the transfer, cancel the certificate presented, and issue a new certificate if: (a) the security is endorsed by the appropriate person or persons; (b) reasonable assurance is given that those endorsements are genuine and effective; (c) the corporation has no notice of adverse claims or has discharged any duty to inquire into such adverse claims; (d) any applicable law relating to the collection of taxes has been complied with; (e) the transfer is not in violation of any federal or state securities law; and (f) the transfer is in compliance with any applicable agreement governing the transfer of the shares. Lost Certificates. Where a certificate has been lost, destroyed or wrongfully - ------------------ taken, the corporation shall issue a new certificate in place of the original if the owner: (a) so requests before the corporation has notice that the certificate has been acquired by a bona fide purchaser; (b) files with the corporation a sufficient indemnity bond, if so requested by the Board of Directors; and (c) satisfies any other reasonable requirements as may be imposed by the Board. Except as above provided, no new certificate for shares shall be issued in lieu of an old certificate unless the corporation is ordered to do so by a court in the judgment in an action brought under Section 419(b) of the California General Corporation Law. DIRECTORS Powers. Subject to the provisions of the California General Corporation Law and - ------ the Articles of Incorporation, the business and affairs of the corporation shall be managed and all corporate powers shall be exercised by or under the direction of the Board of Directors. The Board may delegate the management of the day-to-day operations of the business of the corporation to a management company or other person provided that the business and affairs of the corporation shall be managed and all corporate powers shall be exercised under the ultimate direction of the Board. Committees of the Board. The Board may, by resolution adopted by a majority of - ------------------------ the authorized number of directors, designate one (1) or more committees, each consisting of two or more directors, to serve at the pleasure of the Board. The Board may designate one (1) or more directors as alternate members of any committee, who may replace any absent member at any meeting of the committee. The appointment of members or alternate members of a committee requires the vote of a majority of the authorized number of directors. Any such committee, to the extent provided in the resolution of the Board, shall have all the authority of the Board, except with respect to: The approval of any action which also requires, under the California General Corporation Law, shareholders' approval or approval of the outstanding shares; The filling of vacancies on the Board or in any committee.

The shareholders may elect a director or directors at any time to fill any vacancy or vacancies not filled by the directors, but any such election by written consent requires the consent of a majority of the outstanding shares entitled to vote. The Board of Directors shall have the power to declare vacant the office of a director who has been declared of unsound mind by an order of court, or convicted of a felony. Removal. Any or all of the directors may be removed without cause if such - ------- removal is approved by the vote of a majority of the outstanding shares entitled to vote, except that no director may be removed (unless the entire board is removed) when the votes cast against removal, or not consenting in writing to such removal, would be sufficient to elect such director if voted cumulatively at an election at which the same total number of votes were cast (or, if such action is taken by written consent, all shares entitled to vote were voted) and the entire number of directors authorized at the time of the director's most recent election were then being elected. Resignation. Any director may resign effective upon giving written notice to - ----------- the chairman of the board, the president, the secretary or the Board of Directors of the corporation, unless the notice specifies a later time for the effectiveness of such resignation.

The right to indemnification conferred in this Section shall be a contract right and shall include the right to be paid by the corporation the expenses incurred in defending a Proceeding in advance of its final disposition; provided, however, that, if California General Corporation Law requires, the payment of such expenses in advance of the final disposition of a Proceeding shall be made only upon receipt by the corporation of an undertaking by or on behalf of such director or officer to repay all amounts so advanced if it shall ultimately be determined that such director or officer is not entitled to be indemnified under this Section or otherwise. No amendment to or repeal of this Section 5.5 shall apply to or have any effect on any right to indemnification provided hereunder with respect to any acts or omissions occurring prior to such amendment or repeal. Right of Claimant to Bring Suit. If a claim for indemnity under paragraph (a) - --------------------------------- of this Section is not paid in full by the corporation within 90 days after a written claim has been received by the corporation, the claimant may at any time thereafter bring suit against the corporation to recover the unpaid amount of the claim and, if successful in whole or in part, the claimant shall also be entitled to be paid the expense of prosecuting such claim including reasonable attorneys' fees incurred in connection therewith. It shall be a defense to any such action (other than an action brought to enforce a claim for expenses incurred in defending a Proceeding in advance of its final disposition where the required undertaking, if any is required, has been tendered to the corporation) that the claimant has not met the standards of conduct which make it permissible under California General Corporation Law for the corporation to indemnify the claimant for the amount claimed, but the burden of proving such defense shall be on the corporation. Neither the failure of the corporation (including its Board of Directors, independent legal counsel, or its shareholders) to have made a determination prior to the commencement of such action that indemnification of the claimant is proper in the circumstances because he or she has met the applicable standard of conduct set forth in California General Corporation Law, nor an actual determination by the corporation (including its Board of Directors, independent legal counsel, or its shareholders) that the claimant has not met such applicable standard of conduct, shall be a defense to the action or create a presumption that the claimant has not met the applicable standard of conduct. Non-Exclusivity of Rights. The rights conferred in this Section shall not be - --------------------------- exclusive of any other rights which any director, officer, employee or agent may have or hereafter acquire under any statute, provision of the Articles of Incorporation, bylaw, agreement, vote of shareholders or disinterested directors or otherwise, to the extent the additional rights to indemnification are authorized in the Articles of Incorporation of the corporation.

Indemnification of Employees and Agents of the Corporation. The corporation - -------------------------------------------------------------- may, to the extent authorized from time to time by the Board of Directors, grant rights to indemnification, including the right to be paid by the corporation the expenses incurred in defending a Proceeding in advance of its final disposition, to any employee or agent of the corporation to the fullest extent of the provisions of this Section or otherwise with respect to the indemnification and advancement of expenses of directors and officers of the corporation. Employee Stock Purchase Plans. The corporation may adopt and carry out a stock - ------------------------------ purchase plan or agreement or stock option plan or agreement providing for the issue and sale for such consideration as may be fixed of its unissued shares, or of issued shares Acquired or to be acquired, to one (1) or more of the employees or directors of the corporation or of a subsidiary or to a trustee on their behalf and for the payment for such shares in installments or at one (1) time, and may provide for aiding any such persons in paying for such shares by compensation for services rendered, promissory notes or otherwise. A stock purchase plan or agreement or stock option plan or agreement may include, among other features, the fixing of eligibility for participation therein, the class and price of shares to be issued or sold under the plan or agreement, the number of shares which may be subscribed for, the method of payment therefor, the reservation of title until full payment therefor, the effect of the termination of employment, an option or obligation on the part of the corporation to repurchase the shares upon termination of employment, subject to the provisions of the California General Corporation Law, restrictions upon transfer of the shares and the time limits of and termination of the plan. Time Notice Given or Sent. Any reference in these Bylaws to the time a notice - --------------------------- is given or sent means, unless otherwise expressly provided herein or by law, (a) the time a written notice by mail is deposited in the United States mails, postage prepaid; or (b) the time any other written notice, including facsimile, telegram, or electronic mail message, is personally delivered to the recipient or is delivered to a common carrier for transmission, or actually transmitted by the person giving the notice by electronic means, to the recipient; or (c) the time any oral notice is communicated, in person or by telephone, including a voice messaging system or other system or technology designed to record and communicate messages, or wireless, to the recipient, including the recipient's designated voice mailbox or address on such system, or to a person at the office of the recipient who the person giving the notice has reason to believe will promptly communicate it to the recipient.

AMENDED BYLAWS -------------- for the regulation, except as otherwise provided by statute or the Articles of Incorporation, of InterCare.com, Inc. PRINCIPAL EXECUTIVE OFFICE. THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS SHALL DESIGNATE THE LOCATION - -------------------------- OF THE principal executive office of the corporation at any place within or without the State of California. The Board of Directors shall have the power to change the principal executive office to another location and may designate and locate one or more subsidiary offices within or without the State of California. Number of Directors. The number of directors of the corporation shall be two - --------------------- (2) until changed by a bylaw amending this Section 1.2 duly adopted by the vote or written consent of a majority of the outstanding shares entitled to vote; provided, however, that a bylaw reducing the number of directors to a number less than five (5) cannot be adopted if the votes cast against its adoption at a meeting or the shares not consenting in the case of action by written consent are equal to more than 16-2/3 percent of the outstanding shares entitled to vote. Name. The name of the corporation shall be "InterCare.Com, Inc." The - ---- corporation shall be authorized to do business under any fictitious business name, or variation of its legal name, as the Board of Directors may choose from time to time. SHARES AND SHAREHOLDERS Meetings of Shareholders. - -------------------------- Place of Meetings. Meetings of shareholders shall be held at any place within - ------------------- or without the State of California designated by the Board of Directors. In the absence of any such designation, shareholders' meetings shall be held at the principal executive office of the corporation. Annual Meetings. An annual meeting of the shareholders of the corporation shall - ---------------- be held on such date and at such time as shall be designated by the Board of Directors. Should said day fall upon a legal holiday, the annual meeting of shareholders shall be held at the same time on the next day thereafter ensuing which is a full business day. At each annual meeting directors shall be elected, and any other proper business may be transacted. Special Meetings. Special meetings of the shareholders may be called by the - ----------------- Board of Directors, the chairman of the board, the president, or by the holders of shares entitled to cast not less than 10 percent of the votes at the meeting. Upon request in writing to the chairman of the board, the president, any vice president or the secretary by any person (other than the board) entitled to call a special meeting of shareholders, the officer forthwith shall cause notice to be given to the shareholders entitled to vote that a meeting will be held at a time requested by the person or persons calling the meeting, not less than 35 nor more than 60 days after the receipt of the request. If the notice is not given within 20 days after receipt of the request, the persons entitled to call the meeting may give the notice. Notice of Meetings. Notice of any shareholders' meeting shall be given not less - ------------------ than 10 nor more than 60 days before the date of the meeting to each shareholder entitled to vote thereat. Such notice shall state the place, date and hour of the meeting and (i) in the case of a special meeting, the general nature of the business to be transacted, and no other business may be transacted, or (ii) in the case of the annual meeting, those matters which the Board, at the time of the giving of the notice, intends to present for action by the shareholders. The notice of any meeting at which directors are to be elected shall include the names of nominees intended at the time of the notice to be presented by the board for election. If action is proposed to be taken at any meeting, which action is within Sections 310, 902, 1201, 1900 or 2007 of the General Corporation Law of the State of California, the notice shall also state the general nature of that proposal. Notice of a shareholders' meeting shall be given either personally or by first-class mail, or other means of written communication, charges prepaid, addressed to the shareholder at the address of such shareholder appearing on the books of the corporation or given by the shareholder to the corporation for the purpose of notice; or if no such address appears or is given, at the place where the principal executive office of the corporation is located or by publication at least once in a newspaper of general circulation in the county in which the principal executive office is located. The notice shall be deemed to have been given at the time when delivered personally or deposited in the mail or sent by other means of written communication. An affidavit of mailing of any notice executed by the secretary, assistant secretary or any transfer agent, shall be prima facie evidence of the giving of the notice. Adjourned Meeting and Notice Thereof. Any meeting of shareholders may be - ---------------------------------------- adjourned from time to time by the vote of a majority of the shares represented either in person or by proxy whether or not a quorum is present. When a shareholders' meeting is adjourned to another time or place, notice need not be given of the adjourned meeting if the time and place thereof are announced at the meeting at which the adjournment is taken. At the adjourned meeting the corporation may transact any business which might have been transacted at the original meeting. However, if the adjournment is for more than 45 days or if after the adjournment a new record date is fixed for the adjourned meeting, a notice of the adjourned meeting shall be given to each shareholder of record entitled to vote at the meeting. Waiver of Notice. The transactions of any meeting of shareholders, however - ------------------ called and noticed, and wherever held, are as valid as though had at a meeting duly held after regular call and notice, if a quorum is present either in person or by proxy, and if, either before or after the meeting, each of the persons entitled to vote, not present in person or by proxy, signs a written waiver of notice or a consent to the holding of the meeting or an approval of the minutes thereof. The waiver of notice or consent need not specify either the business to be transacted or the purpose of any annual or special meeting of shareholders, except that if action is taken or proposed to be taken for approval of any of those matters specified in the second paragraph of subparagraph (d) of Section 2.1 of this Article II, the waiver of notice or consent shall state the general nature of the proposal. All such waivers, consents and approvals shall be filed with the corporate records or made a part of the minutes of the meeting. Quorum. The presence in person or by proxy of the persons entitled to vote a - ------ majority of the shares entitled to vote at any meeting shall constitute a quorum for the transaction of business. If a quorum is present, the affirmative vote of the majority of the shares represented and voting at the meeting (which shares voting affirmatively also constitute at least a majority of the required quorum) shall be the act of the shareholders, unless the vote of a greater number or voting by classes is required by law or the Articles of Incorporation of the corporation. The shareholders present at a duly called or held meeting at which a quorum is present may continue to transact business until adjournment notwithstanding the withdrawal of enough shareholders to leave less than a quorum, provided that any action taken (other than adjournment) must be approved by at least a majority of the shares required to constitute a quorum. Action Without a Meeting. Any action which may be taken at any annual or - --------------------------- special meeting of shareholders may be taken without a meeting and without prior notice, if a consent in writing, setting forth the action so taken, shall be signed by the holders of outstanding shares having not less than the minimum number of votes that would be necessary to authorize or take such action at a meeting at which all shares entitled to vote thereon were present and voted. Notwithstanding the foregoing, directors may not be elected by written consent except by unanimous written consent of all shares entitled to vote for the election of directors, except as provided by Section 3.4 hereof. Where the approval of shareholders is given without a meeting by less than unanimous written consent, unless the consents of all shareholders entitled to vote have been solicited in writing, the secretary shall give prompt notice of the corporate action approved by the shareholders without a meeting. In the case of approval of transactions pursuant to Section 310, 317, 1201 or 2007 of the General Corporation Law of the State of California, the notice shall be given at least 10 days before the consummation of any action authorized by that approval. Such notice shall be given in the same manner as notice of shareholders' meeting. Voting of Shares. - ------------------ In General. Except as otherwise provided in the Articles of Incorporation and subject to subparagraph (b) hereof, each outstanding share, regardless of class, shall be entitled to one (1) vote on each matter submitted to a vote of shareholders. Cumulative Voting. At any election of directors, every shareholder complying - ------------------ with this paragraph (b) and entitled to vote may cumulate his or her votes and give one (1) candidate a number of votes equal to the number of directors to be elected multiplied by the number of votes to which the shareholder's shares are entitled, or distribute the shareholder's votes on the same principle among as many candidates as the shareholder thinks fit. No shareholder shall be entitled to cumulate votes (i.e., cast for any one (1) or more candidates a number of votes greater than the number of votes which such shareholder normally is entitled to cast) unless such candidate or candidates' names have been placed in nomination prior to the voting and the shareholder has given notice at the meeting prior to the voting of the shareholder's intention to cumulate the shareholder's votes. If any one (1) shareholder has given such notice, all shareholders may cumulate their votes for candidates in nomination. In any election of directors, the candidates receiving the highest number of affirmative votes up to the number of directors to be elected by such shares are elected; votes against a director and votes withheld shall have no legal effect. Election by Ballot. Elections for directors need not be by ballot unless a - -------------------- shareholder demands election by ballot at the meeting and before the voting begins. Proxies. Every person entitled to vote shares may authorize another person or - ------- persons to act by proxy with respect to such shares. No proxy shall be valid after the expiration of 11 months from the date thereof unless otherwise provided in the proxy. Every proxy continues in full force and effect until revoked by the person executing it prior to the vote pursuant thereto, except as otherwise herein provided. Such revocation may be effected by a writing delivered to the corporation stating that the proxy is revoked or by a subsequent proxy executed by the person executing the prior proxy and presented to the meeting, or as to any meeting by attendance at such meeting and voting in person by the person executing the proxy. The dates contained on the forms of proxy presumptively determine the order of execution, regardless of the postmark dates on the envelopes in which they are mailed. A proxy is not revoked by the death or incapacity of the maker unless, before the vote is counted, written notice of such death or incapacity is received by the corporation. The revocability of a proxy that states on its face that it is irrevocable shall be governed by the provisions of Sections 705(e) and 705(f) of the California General Corporation Law. Inspectors of Election. - ------------------------ Appointment. In advance of any meeting of shareholders the Board may appoint - ----------- inspectors of election to act at the meeting and any adjournment thereof. If inspectors of election are not so appointed, or if any persons so appointed fail to appear or refuse to act, the chairman of any meeting of shareholders may, and on the request of any shareholder or a shareholder's proxy shall, appoint inspectors of election (or persons to replace those who so fail or refuse) at the meeting. The number of inspectors shall be either one (1) or three (3). If appointed at a meeting on the request of one (1) or more shareholders or proxies, the majority of shares represented in person or by proxy shall determine whether one (1) or three (3) inspectors are to be appointed. Duties. The inspectors of election shall determine the number of shares - ------ outstanding and the voting power of each, the shares represented at the meeting, the existence of a quorum and the authenticity, validity and effect of proxies, receive votes, ballots or consents, hear and determine all challenges and questions in any way arising in connection with the right to vote, count and tabulate all votes or consents, determine when the polls shall close, determine the result and do such acts as may be proper to conduct the election or vote with fairness to all shareholders. The inspectors of election shall perform their duties impartially, in good faith, to the best of their ability and as expeditiously as is practical. If there are three inspectors of election, the decision, act or certificate of a majority is effective in all respects as the decision, act or certificate of all. Any report or certificate made by the inspectors of election is prima facie evidence of the facts stated therein. Record Date. In order that the corporation may determine the shareholders - ------------ entitled to notice of any meeting or to vote or entitled to receive payment of any dividend or other distribution or allotment of any rights or entitled to exercise any rights in respect of any other lawful action, the Board may fix, in advance, a record date, which shall not be more than 60 nor less than 10 days prior to the date of such meeting nor more than 60 days prior to any other action. If no record date is fixed: The record date for determining shareholders entitled to notice of or to vote at a meeting of shareholders shall be at the close of business on the business day next preceding the day on which notice is given or, if notice is waived, at the close of business on the business day next preceding the day on which the meeting is held. The record date for determining shareholders entitled to give consent to corporate action in writing without a meeting, when no prior action by the Board has been taken, shall be the day on which the first written consent is given. The record date for determining shareholders for any other purpose shall be at the close of business on the day on which the Board adopts the resolution relating thereto, or the 60th day prior to the date of such other action, whichever is later. A determination of shareholders of record entitled to notice of or to vote at a meeting of shareholders shall apply to any adjournment of the meeting unless the board fixes a new record date for the adjourned meeting, but the board shall fix a new record date if the meeting is adjourned for more than 45 days from the date set for the original meeting. Shareholders at the close of business on the record date are entitled to notice and to vote or to receive the dividend, distribution or allotment of rights or to exercise the rights, as the case may be, notwithstanding any transfer of any shares on the books of the corporation after the record date, except as otherwise provided in the Articles of Incorporation or by agreement or in the California General Corporation Law. SHARE CERTIFICATES. - ------------------- In General. The corporation shall issue a certificate or certificates - ----------- representing shares of its capital stock. Each certificate so issued shall be signed in the name of the corporation by the chairman or vice chairman of the board or the president or a vice president and by the chief financial officer or an assistant treasurer or the secretary or any assistant secretary, shall state the name of the record owner thereof and shall certify the number of shares and the class or series of shares represented thereby. Any or all of the signatures on the certificate may be facsimile. In case any officer, transfer agent or registrar who has signed or whose facsimile signature has been placed upon a certificate has ceased to be such officer, transfer agent or registrar before such certificate is issued, it may be issued by the corporation with the same effect as if such person were an officer, transfer agent or registrar at the date of issue. Two or More Classes or Series. If the shares of the corporation are classified - ------------------------------ or if any class of shares has two or more series, there shall appear on the certificate one (1) of the following: A statement of the rights, preferences, privileges, and restrictions granted to or imposed upon the respective classes or series of shares authorized to be issued and upon the holders thereof; or A summary of such rights, preferences, privileges and restrictions with reference to the provisions of the Articles of Incorporation and any certificates of determination establishing the same; or A statement setting forth the office or agency of the corporation from which shareholders may obtain upon request and without charge, a copy of the statement referred to in subparagraph (1).

If the shares are assessable, a statement that they are assessable. If the shares are not fully paid, a statement of the total consideration to be paid therefor and the amount paid thereon. The fact that the shares are subject to a voting agreement or an irrevocable proxy or restrictions upon voting rights contractually imposed by the corporation. The fact that the shares are redeemable. The fact that the shares are convertible and the period for conversion. Transfer of Certificates. Where a certificate for shares is presented to the - -------------------------- corporation or its transfer clerk or transfer agent with a request to register a - -- transfer of shares, the corporation shall register the transfer, cancel the certificate presented, and issue a new certificate if: (a) the security is endorsed by the appropriate person or persons; (b) reasonable assurance is given that those endorsements are genuine and effective; (c) the corporation has no notice of adverse claims or has discharged any duty to inquire into such adverse claims; (d) any applicable law relating to the collection of taxes has been complied with; (e) the transfer is not in violation of any federal or state securities law; and (f) the transfer is in compliance with any applicable agreement governing the transfer of the shares. Lost Certificates. Where a certificate has been lost, destroyed or wrongfully - ------------------ taken, the corporation shall issue a new certificate in place of the original if the owner: (a) so requests before the corporation has notice that the certificate has been acquired by a bona fide purchaser; (b) files with the corporation a sufficient indemnity bond, if so requested by the Board of Directors; and (c) satisfies any other reasonable requirements as may be imposed by the Board. Except as above provided, no new certificate for shares shall be issued in lieu of an old certificate unless the corporation is ordered to do so by a court in the judgment in an action brought under Section 419(b) of the California General Corporation Law. DIRECTORS Powers. Subject to the provisions of the California General Corporation Law and - ------ the Articles of Incorporation, the business and affairs of the corporation shall be managed and all corporate powers shall be exercised by or under the direction of the Board of Directors. The Board may delegate the management of the day-to-day operations of the business of the corporation to a management company or other person provided that the business and affairs of the corporation shall be managed and all corporate powers shall be exercised under the ultimate direction of the Board. Committees of the Board. The Board may, by resolution adopted by a majority of - ------------------------ the authorized number of directors, designate one (1) or more committees, each consisting of two or more directors, to serve at the pleasure of the Board. The Board may designate one (1) or more directors as alternate members of any committee, who may replace any absent member at any meeting of the committee. The appointment of members or alternate members of a committee requires the vote of a majority of the authorized number of directors. Any such committee, to the extent provided in the resolution of the Board, shall have all the authority of the Board, except with respect to: The approval of any action which also requires, under the California General Corporation Law, shareholders' approval or approval of the outstanding shares; The filling of vacancies on the Board or in any committee.

Any or all of the directors may be removed without cause if such - ------- removal is approved by the vote of a majority of the outstanding shares entitled to vote, except that no director may be removed (unless the entire board is removed) when the votes cast against removal, or not consenting in writing to such removal, would be sufficient to elect such director if voted cumulatively at an election at which the same total number of votes were cast (or, if such action is taken by written consent, all shares entitled to vote were voted) and the entire number of directors authorized at the time of the director's most recent election were then being elected. Resignation. Any director may resign effective upon giving written notice to - ----------- the chairman of the board, the president, the secretary or the Board of Directors of the corporation, unless the notice specifies a later time for the effectiveness of such resignation.

If the meeting is adjourned for more than 24 hours, notice of such adjournment to another time and place shall be given prior to the time of the adjourned meeting to the directors who were not present at the time of adjournment. Place of Meeting. Meetings of the Board may be held at any place within or - ------------------ without the state which has been designated in the notice of the meeting or, if not stated in the notice or there is no notice, then such meeting shall be held at the principal executive office of the corporation, or such other place designated by resolution of the Board. Presence by Conference Telephone Call.

Such inspection by a director may be made in person or by agent or attorney and the right of inspection includes the right to copy and make extracts. Checks, Drafts, Etc. All checks, drafts or other orders for payment of money, - ---------------------- notes or other evidences of indebtedness, issued in the name of or payable to the corporation, shall be signed or endorsed by such person or persons and in such manner as, from time to time, shall be determined by resolution of the Board of Directors.

The authority herein granted to said officers to vote or represent on behalf of the corporation any and all shares held by the corporation in any other corporation or corporations may be exercised either by such officers in person or by any other person authorized so to do by proxy or power of attorney duly executed by said officers. Indemnification and Insurance. - ------------------------------- Right to Indemnification. Each person who was or is made a party to or is - -------------------------- threatened to be made a party to or is involuntarily involved in any action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (hereinafter a "Proceeding"), by reason of the fact that he or she, or a person of whom he or she is the legal representative, is or was a director or officer of the corporation or is or was serving (during such person's tenure as director or officer) at the request of the corporation, any other corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise in any capacity, whether the basis of a Proceeding is an alleged action in an official capacity as a director or officer or in any other capacity while serving as a director or officer, shall be indemnified and held harmless by the corporation to the fullest extent authorized by California General Corporation Law, as the same exists or may hereafter be amended (but, in the case of any such amendment, only to the extent that such amendment permits the corporation to provide broader indemnification rights than said law permitted the corporation to provide prior to such amendment), against all expenses, liability and loss (including attorneys' fees, judgments, fines, or penalties and amounts to be paid in settlement) reasonably incurred or suffered by such person in connection therewith. The right to indemnification conferred in this Section shall be a contract right and shall include the right to be paid by the corporation the expenses incurred in defending a Proceeding in advance of its final disposition; provided, however, that, if California General Corporation Law requires, the payment of such expenses in advance of the final disposition of a Proceeding shall be made only upon receipt by the corporation of an undertaking by or on behalf of such director or officer to repay all amounts so advanced if it shall ultimately be determined that such director or officer is not entitled to be indemnified under this Section or otherwise. No amendment to or repeal of this Section 5.5 shall apply to or have any effect on any right to indemnification provided hereunder with respect to any acts or omissions occurring prior to such amendment or repeal. Right of Claimant to Bring Suit. If a claim for indemnity under paragraph (a) - --------------------------------- of this Section is not paid in full by the corporation within 90 days after a written claim has been received by the corporation, the claimant may at any time thereafter bring suit against the corporation to recover the unpaid amount of the claim and, if successful in whole or in part, the claimant shall also be entitled to be paid the expense of prosecuting such claim including reasonable attorneys' fees incurred in connection therewith. It shall be a defense to any such action (other than an action brought to enforce a claim for expenses incurred in defending a Proceeding in advance of its final disposition where the required undertaking, if any is required, has been tendered to the corporation) that the claimant has not met the standards of conduct which make it permissible under California General Corporation Law for the corporation to indemnify the claimant for the amount claimed, but the burden of proving such defense shall be on the corporation. Neither the failure of the corporation (including its Board of Directors, independent legal counsel, or its shareholders) to have made a determination prior to the commencement of such action that indemnification of the claimant is proper in the circumstances because he or she has met the applicable standard of conduct set forth in California General Corporation Law, nor an actual determination by the corporation (including its Board of Directors, independent legal counsel, or its shareholders) that the claimant has not met such applicable standard of conduct, shall be a defense to the action or create a presumption that the claimant has not met the applicable standard of conduct. Non-Exclusivity of Rights. The rights conferred in this Section shall not be - --------------------------- exclusive of any other rights which any director, officer, employee or agent may have or hereafter acquire under any statute, provision of the Articles of Incorporation, bylaw, agreement, vote of shareholders or disinterested directors or otherwise, to the extent the additional rights to indemnification are authorized in the Articles of Incorporation of the corporation. Insurance. In furtherance and not in limitation of the powers conferred by - --------- statute: the corporation may purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of any person who is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation, or is 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 expense, liability or loss, whether or not the corporation would have the power to indemnify the person against that expense, liability or loss under the California General Corporation Law. the corporation may create a trust fund, grant a security interest and/or use other means (including, without limitation, letters of credit, surety bonds and/or other similar arrangements), as well as enter into contracts providing indemnification to the full extent authorized or permitted by law and including as part thereof provisions with respect to any or all of the foregoing to ensure the payment of such amounts as may become necessary to effect indemnification as provided therein, or elsewhere. Indemnification of Employees and Agents of the Corporation. The corporation - -------------------------------------------------------------- may, to the extent authorized from time to time by the Board of Directors, grant rights to indemnification, including the right to be paid by the corporation the expenses incurred in defending a Proceeding in advance of its final disposition, to any employee or agent of the corporation to the fullest extent of the provisions of this Section or otherwise with respect to the indemnification and advancement of expenses of directors and officers of the corporation. Employee Stock Purchase Plans. The corporation may adopt and carry out a stock - ------------------------------ purchase plan or agreement or stock option plan or agreement providing for the issue and sale for such consideration as may be fixed of its unissued shares, or of issued shares Acquired or to be acquired, to one (1) or more of the employees or directors of the corporation or of a subsidiary or to a trustee on their behalf and for the payment for such shares in installments or at one (1) time, and may provide for aiding any such persons in paying for such shares by compensation for services rendered, promissory notes or otherwise. A stock purchase plan or agreement or stock option plan or agreement may include, among other features, the fixing of eligibility for participation therein, the class and price of shares to be issued or sold under the plan or agreement, the number of shares which may be subscribed for, the method of payment therefor, the reservation of title until full payment therefor, the effect of the termination of employment, an option or obligation on the part of the corporation to repurchase the shares upon termination of employment, subject to the provisions of the California General Corporation Law, restrictions upon transfer of the shares and the time limits of and termination of the plan.
