Item 2. Acquisition of Disposition of Assets.

     Pursuant to an agreement entered into as of April 29, 2002, the Company acquired all of the issued and outstanding shares of stock of Bycom Media Inc., an Ontario, Canada corporation, in exchange for 4,800,000 shares of common stock of the Company. The closing occurred on May 5, 2002. Bycom Media Inc. is engaged in multimedia applications for internet-based businesses. Utilizing business search tools and databases, Bycom Media Inc. will be able to locate and access global business information. Bycom Media Inc. intends to use its technology in order to enter into various business combinations with entities who offer products or services which are susceptible to internet marketing. As an alternative, Bycom Media Inc. will also sell, for a fee, this information and will act as an “out-source provider” of information. As an “out-source provider,” the information will be cost-effective for the user. This is because the customer typically lacks the technology expertise, capital, personnel or ability to bear the time to market and operating risk to install, maintain and monitor business information. Bycom Media Inc. for itself and for its customers will provide personnel who are readily available to respond to technical issues and marketing issues, and who can assist in developing and implementing the effective use of the business search tools and data base.

Tel.: (416) 363-6273 600 -- 56 Temperance St., Fax: (416) 363-9982 Toronto, Ontario M5H 3V3 Auditor's Report to the Shareholders I have audited the balance sheets of Bycom Media Inc. as at January 31, 2002 and the statements of loss and deficit and changes in cash flows for the period from the date of incorporation, January 30, 2002 to January 31, 2002. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. My responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on my audit. I conducted an audit in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards in Canada. Those standards require that I plan and perform an audit to obtain reasonable assurance whether the financial statements are free from 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. In my opinion, these financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as at January 31, 2002 and the results of its operations and the changes in its cash flows for the period from the date of incorporation January 30, 2002 to January 31, 2002, in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in Canada.
