PART I ITEM 1. DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS BUSINESS DEVELOPMENT MAS Acquisition XXV Corp. (the "Company"), was incorporated on January 6, 1997 in the State of Indiana, to engage in any lawful corporate undertaking, including, but not limited to, selected mergers and acquisitions. Pursuant to the Articles of Incorporation, the Company is authorized to issue 80,000,000 shares of Common Stock at $.001 par value and 20,000,000 shares of Preferred Stock at $.001 par value. Each holder of the Common Stock shall be entitled to one vote for each share of Common Stock held. The Preferred Stock may be divided into Series or Classes by the management of the Company upon the approval of a majority vote of the Directors of the Company. As of January 8, 2000, there are 8,519,900 shares of Common Stock and no shares of Preferred Stock outstanding. The Company has been in the developmental stage since inception and has no operations to date. Other than issuing shares to its shareholders, the Company never commenced any operational activities. As such, the Company can be defined as a "shell" company, whose sole purpose at this time is to locate and consummate a merger or acquisition with a private entity. The Board of Directors of the Company has elected to commence implementation of the Company's principal business purpose, described below under "ITEM 2 - PLAN OF OPERATION". The Company is filing this registration statement on a voluntary basis because the primary attraction of the Company as a merger partner or acquisition vehicle will be its status as a reporting public company. Any business combination or transaction may potentially result in a significant issuance of shares and substantial dilution to present stockholders of the Company. The proposed business activities described herein classify the Company as a "blank check" company. Many states have enacted statutes, rules and regulations limiting the sale of securities of "blank check" companies in their respective jurisdictions. The Company has distributed shares of its common stock as gift without any cash considerations to non-U.S. persons in reliance on Regulation S. The shares of common stock distributed in reliance on Regulation S were escrowed and the Company will refuse to register any transfer of the shares, during the two year distribution compliance period unless sold in accordance to rule 144 for shares held for at least one year. Management does not intend to undertake any other offering of the Company's securities, either debt or equity, until such time as the Company has successfully implemented its business plan described herein. Relevant thereto, MAS Capital Inc., the primary shareholder of the Company, has expressed its intention that it has no plan to sell its respective shares of the Company's common stock until such time as the Company has successfully consummated a merger or acquisition and the Company is no longer classified as a "blank check" company, and it has also expressed its intention not to sell its shares unless the shares are subsequently registered or if an exemption from registration is available. RISK FACTORS NO OPERATING HISTORY, REVENUE AND ASSETS. The Company has had no operating history nor any revenues or earnings from operations. The Company has little or no tangible assets or financial resources. The Company will, in all likelihood, continue to sustain operating expenses without corresponding revenues, at least until the consummation of a business combination. This may result in the Company incurring a net operating loss which will increase continuously until the Company can consummate a business combination with a profitable business opportunity. There is no assurance that the Company can identify such a business opportunity and consummate such a business combination. SPECULATIVE NATURE OF COMPANY'S PROPOSED OPERATIONS. The success of the Company's proposed plan of operation will depend to a great extent on the operations, financial condition and management of the identified business opportunity. While management intends to seek business combination(s) with entities having established operating histories, there can be no assurance that the Company will be successful in locating candidates meeting such criteria. In the event the Company completes a business combination, of which there can be no assurance, the success of the Company's operations may be dependent upon management of the successor firm or venture partner firm and numerous other factors beyond the Company's control. STATE BLUE SKY REGISTRATION; RESTRICTED RESALES OF THE SECURITIES Transferability of the shares of Common Stock of the Company is very limited because a significant number of states have enacted regulations pursuant to their securities or so-called "blue sky" laws restricting or, in many instances, prohibiting, the initial sale and subsequent resale of securities of "blank check" companies such as the Company within that state. In addition, many states, while not specifically prohibiting or restricting "blank check" companies, would not register the securities of the Company for sale or resale in their states. Because of these regulations, the Company currently has no plan to register any securities of the Company with any state. To ensure that any state laws are not violated through the reales of the securities of the Company, the Company will refuse to register the transfer of any securities of the Company, to residents of any state, which prohibit such resale or if no exemption is available for such resale. It is not anticipated that a secondary trading market for the Company's securities will develop in any state until subsequent to consummation of a Business Combination, if at all. SCARCITY OF AND COMPETITION FOR BUSINESS OPPORTUNITIES AND COMBINATIONS. The Company is and will continue to be an insignificant participant in the business of seeking mergers with, joint ventures with and acquisitions of small private and public entities. A large number of established and well-financed entities, including venture capital firms, are active in mergers and acquisitions of companies which may be desirable target candidates for the Company. Nearly all such entities have significantly greater financial resources, technical expertise and managerial capabilities than the Company and, consequently, the Company will be at a competitive disadvantage in identifying possible business opportunities and successfully completing a business combination. Moreover, the Company will also compete in seeking merger or acquisition candidates with numerous other small public companies. NO AGREEMENT FOR BUSINESS COMBINATION OR OTHER TRANSACTION - NO STANDARDS FOR BUSINESS COMBINATION. The Company has no arrangement, agreement or understanding with respect to engaging in a merger with, joint venture with or acquisition of, a private or public entity. There can be no assurance the Company will be successful in identifying and evaluating suitable business opportunities or in concluding a business combination. Management has not identified any particular industry or specific business within an industry for evaluation by the Company. There is no assurance the Company will be able to negotiate a business combination on terms favorable to the Company. The Company has not established a specific length of operating history or a specified level of earnings, assets, net worth or other criteria which it will require a target business opportunity to have achieved, and without which the Company would not consider a business combination in any form with such business opportunity. Accordingly, the Company may enter into a business combination with a business opportunity having no significant operating history, losses, limited or no potential for earnings, limited assets, negative net worth or other negative characteristics. CONTINUED MANAGEMENT CONTROL, LIMITED TIME AVAILABILITY. While seeking a business combination, Aaron Tsai, President of the Company anticipates devoting up to ten hours per month to the business of the Company. Aaron Tsai will be the only person responsible in conducting the day to day operations of the company including searches, evaluations, and negotiations with potential merger or acquisition candidates. The Company has not entered into any written employment agreement with Aaron Tsai and is not expected to do so in the foreseeable future. The Company has not obtained key man life insurance on Aaron Tsai. The loss of the services of Aaron Tsai would adversely affect development of the Company's business and its likelihood of continuing operations. See "ITEM 5 - DIRECTORS, EXECUTIVE OFFICERS, PROMOTERS AND CONTROL PERSONS." CONFLICTS OF INTEREST - GENERAL. Aaron Tsai may in the future participate in business ventures which could be deemed to compete directly with the Company. Aaron Tsai is serving as officer and director of a number of other blank check companies. Additional conflicts of interest and non-arms length transactions may also arise in the future in the event the Company's current and future officers or directors are involved in the management of any firm with which the Company transacts business. LACK OF MARKET RESEARCH OR MARKETING ORGANIZATION. The Company has neither conducted, nor have others made available to it, results of market research indicating that market demand exists for the transactions contemplated by the Company. Moreover, the Company does not have, and does not plan to establish, a marketing organization. Even in the event demand is identified for a merger or acquisition contemplated by the Company, there is no assurance the Company will be successful in completing any such business combination. LACK OF DIVERSIFICATION. The Company's proposed operations, even if successful, will in all likelihood result in the Company engaging in a business combination with a business opportunity. Consequently, the Company's activities may be limited to those engaged in by business opportunities which the Company merges with or acquires. The Company's inability to diversify its activities into a number of areas may subject the Company to economic fluctuations within a particular business or industry and therefore increase the risks associated with the Company's operations. REGULATION. Although the Company will be subject to regulation under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, management believes the Company will not be subject to regulation under the Investment Company Act of 1940, insofar as the Company will not be engaged in the business of investing or trading in securities. In the event the Company engages in business combinations which result in the Company holding passive investment interests in a number of entities, the Company could be subject to regulation under the Investment Company Act of 1940. In such event, the Company would be required to register as an investment company and could be expected to incur significant registration and compliance costs. The Company has obtained no formal determination from the Securities and Exchange Commission as to the status of the Company under the Investment Company Act of 1940 and, consequently, any violation of such Act would subject the Company to material adverse consequences. PROBABLE CHANGE IN CONTROL AND MANAGEMENT. A business combination involving the issuance of the Company's Common Shares will, in all likelihood, result in shareholders of a private company obtaining a controlling interest in the Company. Any such business combination may require management of the Company to sell or transfer all or a portion of the Company's Common Shares held by them, or resign as members of the Board of Directors of the Company. The resulting change in control of the Company could result in the removal of Aaron Tsai and a corresponding reduction in or elimination of his participation in the future affairs of the Company. POTENTIAL REDUCTION OF PERCENTAGE SHARE OWNERSHIP FOLLOWING BUSINESS COMBINATION. The Company's primary plan of operation is based upon a business combination with a private concern which, depending on the terms of merger or acquisition, may result in the Company issuing securities to shareholders of any such private company. The issuance of previously authorized and unissued Common Shares of the Company would result in reduction in percentage of shares owned by present and prospective shareholders of the Company and may result in a change in control or management of the Company. DISADVANTAGES OF BLANK CHECK OFFERING. The Company may enter into a business combination with an entity that desires to establish a public trading market for its shares. A business opportunity may attempt to avoid what it deems to be adverse consequences of undertaking its own public offering by seeking a business combination with the Company. Such consequences may include, but are not limited to, time delays of the registration process, significant expenses to be incurred in such an offering, loss of voting control to public shareholders and the inability or unwillingness to comply with various federal and state laws enacted for the protection of investors. TAXATION. Federal and state tax consequences will, in all likelihood, be major considerations in any business combination the Company may undertake. Currently, such transactions may be structured so as to result in tax-free treatment to both companies, pursuant to various federal and state tax provisions. The Company intends to structure any business combination so as to minimize the federal and state tax consequences to both the Company and the target entity; however, there can be no assurance that such business combination will meet the statutory requirements of a tax- free reorganization or that the parties will obtain the intended tax-free treatment upon a transfer of stock or assets. A non- qualifying reorganization could result in the imposition of both federal and state taxes which may have an adverse effect on both parties to the transaction. REQUIREMENT OF AUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS MAY DISQUALIFY BUSINESS OPPORTUNITIES. Section 13 and 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the "Exchange Act"), require companies subject thereto to provide certain information about significant acquisitions, including certified financial statements for the company acquired, covering one, two or three years, depending on the relative size of the acquisition. The time and additional costs that may be incurred by some target entities to prepare such statements may preclude consummation of an otherwise desirable acquisition by the Company. Acquisition prospects that do not have or are unable to obtain the required audited financial statements may not be appropriate for acquisition so long as the reporting requirements of the 1934 Act are applicable. ITEM 2. PLAN OF OPERATION The Company intends to seek to acquire assets or shares of an entity actively engaged in business which generates revenues, in exchange for its securities. The Company has no particular acquisitions in mind and has not entered into any negotiations regarding such an acquisition. None of the Company's officers, directors, promoters or affiliates have engaged in any preliminary contact or discussions on behalf of the Company with any representative of any other company regarding the possibility of an acquisition or merger between the Company and such other company as of the date of this registration statement. The Company's officers, directors, promoters or affiliates are engaged in contacting or discussing on behalf of many other public shell companies with representatives of many companies regarding the possibility of acquisition or merger between the public shell companies and such other companies. EMPLOYEES The Company has no full time or part time employees. Aaron Tsai has agreed to allocate a portion of his time to the activities of the Company, without compensation. The Company anticipates that the business plan of the Company can be implemented through the efforts of Aaron Tsai, President of the Company, devoting up to 10 hours per month to the business affairs of the Company, consequently, conflicts of interest may arise with respect to the limited time commitment by such officer. See "ITEM 5 - DIRECTORS, EXECUTIVE OFFICERS, PROMOTERS AND CONTROL PERSONS." Aaron Tsai has been and is currently involved with other "blank check" companies. Aaron Tsai may, in the future, become involved with other companies which have business purpose similar to that of the Company. As a result, additional potential conflicts of interest may arise in the future. If such a conflict does arise and an officer or director of the Company is presented with business opportunities under circumstances where there may be a doubt as to whether the opportunity should belong to the Company or another "blank check" company they are affiliated with, they will disclose the opportunity to all such companies. If a situation arises in which more than one company desires to merge with or acquire that target company and the principals of the proposed target company has no preference as to which company will merge or acquire such target company, the company which first filed a registration statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission will be entitled to proceed with the proposed transaction. See "ITEM 5 - DIRECTORS, EXECUTIVE OFFICERS, PROMOTERS AND CONTROL PERSONS." INDEMNIFICATION The Company shall indemnify to the fullest extent permitted by, and in the manner permissible under the laws of the State of Indiana, any person made, or threatened to be made, a party to an action or proceeding, whether criminal, civil, administrative or investigative, by reason of the fact that he/she is or was a director or officer of the Company, or served any other enterprise as director, officer or employee at the request of the Company. The Board of Directors, in its discretion, shall have the power on behalf of the Company to indemnify any person, other than a director or officer, made a party to any action, suit or proceeding by reason of the fact that he/she is or was an employee of the Company. See PART II, "ITEM 5 - INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS." GENERAL BUSINESS PLAN The Company's purpose is to seek, investigate and, if such investigation warrants, acquire an interest in business opportunities presented to it by persons or firms who or which desire to seek the perceived advantages of an Exchange Act registered corporation. The Company will not restrict its search to any specific business, industry, or geographical location and the Company may participate in a business venture of virtually any kind or nature. This discussion of the proposed business is purposefully general and is not meant to be restrictive of the Company's virtually unlimited discretion to search for and enter into potential business opportunities. Management anticipates that it may be able to participate in only one potential business venture because the Company has nominal assets and limited financial resources. See PART F/S, "FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND EXHIBITS." This lack of diversification should be considered a substantial risk to shareholders of the Company because it will not permit the Company to offset potential losses from one venture against gains from another. The Company may seek a business opportunity with entities which have recently commenced operations, or which wish to utilize the public marketplace in order to raise additional capital in order to expand into new products or markets, to develop a new product or service, or for other corporate purposes. The Company may acquire assets and establish wholly-owned subsidiaries in various businesses or acquire existing businesses as subsidiaries. The Company may advertise and promote the Company in newspaper, magazines and on the Internet. The Company has not yet prepared any notices or advertisement. The Company anticipates that the selection of a business opportunity in which to participate will be complex and extremely risky. Due to general economic conditions, rapid technological advances being made in some industries and shortages of available capital, management believes that there are numerous firms seeking the perceived benefits of a publicly registered corporation. Such perceived benefits may include facilitating or improving the terms on which additional equity financing may be sought, providing liquidity for incentive stock options or similar benefits to key employees, providing liquidity (subject to restrictions of applicable statutes), for all shareholders and other factors. Potentially, available business opportunities may occur in many different industries and at various stages of development, all of which will make the task of comparative investigation and analysis of such business opportunities extremely difficult and complex. The Company has, and will continue to have, no capital with which to provide the owners of business opportunities with any significant cash or other assets. However, management believes the Company will be able to offer owners of acquisition candidates the opportunity to acquire a controlling ownership interest in a publicly registered company without incurring the cost and time required to conduct an initial public offering. The owners of the business opportunities will, however, incur significant legal and accounting costs in connection with acquisition of a business opportunity, including the costs of preparing Form 8-K's, 10-K's or 10-KSB's, agreements and related reports and documents. The Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the "34 Act"), specifically requires that any merger or acquisition candidate comply with all applicable reporting requirements, which include providing audited financial statements to be included within the numerous filings relevant to complying with the 34 Act. Nevertheless, the officers and directors of the Company have not conducted market research and are not aware of statistical data which would support the perceived benefits of a merger or acquisition transaction for the owners of a business opportunity. The analysis of new business opportunities will be undertaken by, or under the supervision of, Aaron Tsai, who may not be considered a professional business analyst. Aaron Tsai, President of the Company will be the key person in the search, review and negotiation with potential acquisition or merger candidates. Management intends to concentrate on identifying preliminary prospective business opportunities which may be brought to its attention through present associations of the Company's officer and director, or by the Company's shareholder. In analyzing prospective business opportunities, management will consider such matters as the available technical, financial and managerial resources; working capital and other financial requirements; history of operations, if any; prospects for the future; nature of present and expected competition; the quality and experience of management services which may be available and the depth of that management; the potential for further research, development, or exploration; specific risk factors not now foreseeable but which then may be anticipated to impact the proposed activities of the Company; the potential for growth or expansion; the potential for profit; the perceived public recognition of acceptance of products, services, or trades; name identification; and other relevant factors. Officers and directors of the Company do not expect to meet personally with management and key personnel of the business opportunity as part of their investigation due to lack of capital. To the extent possible, the Company intends to utilize written reports and investigation to evaluate the above factors. The Company will not acquire or merge with any company for which audited financial statements cannot be obtained within a reasonable period of time after closing of the proposed transaction. Aaron Tsai has limited experience in managing companies similar to the Company and shall rely upon his own efforts and, to a much lesser extent, the efforts of the Company's shareholder, in accomplishing the business purposes of the Company. It is not anticipated that any outside consultants or advisors will be utilized by the Company to effectuate its business purposes described herein. However, if the Company does retain such an outside consultant or advisor, any cash fee earned by such party will need to be paid by the prospective merger/acquisition candidate, as the Company has no cash assets with which to pay such obligation. There have been no contracts or agreements with any outside consultants and none are anticipated in the future. The Company will not restrict its search for any specific kind of firms, but may acquire a venture which is in its preliminary or development stage, which is already in operation, or in essentially any stage of its corporate life. It is impossible to predict at this time the status of any business in which the Company may become engaged, in that such business may need to seek additional capital, may desire to have its shares publicly traded, or may seek other perceived advantages which the Company may offer. However, the Company does not intend to obtain funds in one or more private placements to finance the operation of any acquired business opportunity until such time as the Company has successfully consummated such a merger or acquisition. It is anticipated that the Company will incur nominal expenses in the implementation of its business plan described herein. Because the Company has no capital with which to pay these anticipated expenses, Aaron Tsai agreed to pay these charges with his personal funds, as interest free loans to the Company. However, the only opportunity which management has to have these loans repaid will be from a prospective merger or acquisition candidate. Management has agreed that the repayment of any loans made on behalf of the Company will not impede, or be made conditional in any manner, to consummation of a proposed transaction. ACQUISITION OF OPPORTUNITIES In implementing a structure for a particular business acquisition, the Company may become a party to a merger, consolidation, reorganization, joint venture, or licensing agreement with another corporation or entity. It may also acquire stock or assets of an existing business. On the consummation of a transaction, it is probable that the present management and shareholders of the Company will no longer be in control of the Company. In addition, the Company's directors may, as part of the terms of the acquisition transaction, resign and be replaced by new directors without a vote of the Company's shareholders or may sell their stock in the Company. Any terms of sale of the shares presently held by officers and/or directors of the Company will not be afforded to all other shareholders of the Company. Any and all such sales will only be made in compliance with the securities laws of the United States and any applicable state. It is anticipated that any securities issued in any such reorganization would be issued in reliance upon exemption from registration under applicable federal and state securities laws. In some circumstances, however, as a negotiated element of its transaction, the Company may agree to register all or a part of such securities immediately after the transaction is consummated or at specified times thereafter. If such registration occurs, of which there can be no assurance, it will be undertaken by the surviving entity after the Company has successfully consummated a merger or acquisition and the Company is no longer considered a "shell" company. The issuance of substantial additional securities and their potential sale into any trading market which may develop in the Company's securities may have a depressive effect on the value of the Company's securities in the future, if such a market develops, of which there is no assurance. While the actual terms of a transaction to which the Company may be a party cannot be predicted, it may be expected that the parties to the business transaction will find it desirable to avoid the creation of a taxable event and thereby structure the acquisition in a so-called "tax-free" reorganization under Sections 368(a)(1) or 351 of the Internal Revenue Code (the "Code"). In order to obtain tax-free treatment under the Code, it may be necessary for the owners of the acquired business to own 80% or more of the voting stock of the surviving entity. In such event, the shareholders of the Company, would retain less than 20% of the issued and outstanding shares of the surviving entity, which would result in significant dilution in the equity of such shareholders. As part of the Company's investigation, officers and directors of the Company may personally meet with management and key personnel, may visit and inspect material facilities, obtain analysis of verification of certain information provided, check references of management and key personnel, and take other reasonable investigative measures, to the extent of the Company's limited financial resources and management expertise. The manner in which the Company participates in an opportunity will depend on the nature of the opportunity, the respective needs and desires of the Company and other parties, the management of the opportunity and the relative negotiation strength of the Company and such other management. With respect to any merger or acquisition, negotiations with target company management is expected to focus on the percentage of the Company which the target company shareholders would acquire in exchange for all of their shareholdings in the target company. Depending upon, among other things, the target company's assets and liabilities, the Company's shareholders will in all likelihood hold a substantially lesser percentage ownership interest in the Company following any merger or acquisition. The percentage ownership may be subject to significant reduction in the event the Company acquires a target company with substantial assets. Any merger or acquisition effected by the Company can be expected to have a significant dilutive effect on the percentage of shares held by the Company's then shareholders. The Company will participate in a business opportunity only after the negotiation and execution of appropriate written agreements. Although the terms of such agreements cannot be predicted, generally such agreements will require some specific representations and warranties by all of the parties thereto, will specify certain events of default, will detail the terms of closing and the conditions which must be satisfied by each of the parties prior to and after such closing, will outline the manner of bearing costs, including costs associated with the Company's attorneys and accountants, will set forth remedies on default and will include miscellaneous other terms. As stated hereinabove, the Company will not acquire or merge with any entity which cannot provide independent audited financial statements within a reasonable period of time after closing of the proposed transaction. The Company is subject to all of the reporting requirements included in the 1934 Act. Included in these requirements is the affirmative duty of the Company to file independent audited financial statements as part of its Form 8-K to be filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission upon consummation of a merger or acquisition, as well as the Company's audited financial statements included in its annual report on Form 10-K (or 10-KSB, as applicable). If such audited financial statements are not available at closing, or within time parameters necessary to insure the Company's compliance with the requirements of the 1934 Act, or if the audited financial statements provided do not conform to the representations made by the candidate to be acquired in the closing documents, the closing documents may provide that the proposed transaction will be voidable, at the discretion of the present management of the Company. If such transaction is voided, the agreement may also contain a provision providing for the acquisition entity to reimburse the Company for all costs associated with the proposed transaction. The Company does not intend to make any loans to any prospective acquisition or merger candidates or to unaffiliated third parties. The Company may make loans only to prospective acquisition or merger candidates only when such fund is available, the Company has entered into an acquisition or merger agreement and making a loan to the acquisition or merger candidate is beneficial to the Company. The criteria that will be used in determining whether to make loans is the availability and the need of cash by the acquisition or merger candidate in order to complete the acquisition or merger. The loan may be either secured or non-secured depending on the result of negotiation and there is no limitations as to the amounts that may be loaned. The Company does not intends to provide the Company's security holders with any complete disclosure documents, including audited financial statements, concerning an acquisition or merger candidate and its business prior to the consummation of any acquisition or merger transaction. COMPETITION The Company will remain an insignificant participant among the firms which engage in the acquisition of business opportunities. There are many established venture capital and financial concerns which have significantly greater financial and personnel resources and technical expertise than the Company. In view of the Company's combined extremely limited financial resources and limited management availability, the Company will continue to be at a significant competitive disadvantage compared to the Company's competitors.

CONFLICTS OF INTEREST Members of the Company's management is associated with other firms involved in a range of business activities. Consequently,there are potential inherent conflicts of interest in Aaron Tsai acting as officer and director of the Company. Insofar as the officer and director is engaged in other business activities, management anticipates it will devote only a minor amount of time to the Company's affairs. The officer and director of the Company is and may in the future become shareholder, officer or director of other companies which may be formed for the purpose of engaging in business activities similar to those conducted by the Company. Accordingly, additional direct conflicts of interest may arise in the future with respect to such individual acting on behalf of the Company or other entities. Moreover, additional conflicts of interest may arise with respect to opportunities which come to the attention of such individual in the performance of his duties or otherwise. The Company does not currently have a right of first refusal pertaining to opportunities that come to management's attention insofar as such opportunities may relate to the Company's proposed business operations. The officer and director is, so long as he is officer or director of the Company, subject to the restriction that all opportunities contemplated by the Company's plan of operation which come to his attention, either in the performance of his duties or in any other manner, will be considered opportunities of, and be made available to the Company and the companies that he is affiliated with on an equal basis. A breach of this requirement will be a breach of the fiduciary duties of the officer or director. If the Company or the companies in which the officer and director is affiliated with both desire to take advantage of an opportunity, then said officer and director would abstain from negotiating and voting upon the opportunity. However, the officer and director may still take advantage of opportunities if the Company should decline to do so. Except as set forth above, the Company has not adopted any other conflict of interest policy with respect to such transactions. Aaron Tsai, President of the Company may be compensated in form of shares of common stock of the Company upon completion of an acquisition or merger. It is possible that such compensation may become a factor in negotiations and present conflict of interest. Aaron Tsai will use his best efforts to resolve equitably any conflicts that might result during negotiations for an acquisition or merger. There are no agreements or understandings for Aaron Tsai to resign at the request of another person and that Aaron Tsai is not acting on behalf of or will act at the direction of any other person except at the time of the acquisition or merger and at the request of the controlling persons of the acquisition or merger candidate. The Company expects that the controlling persons of the acquisition or merger candidate will ask all of the current Officers and Directors to resign at the time of the acquisition or merger because they will become controlling persons of the Company. INVESTMENT COMPANY ACT OF 1940 Although the Company will be subject to regulation under the Securities Act of 1933 and the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, management believes the Company will not be subject to regulation under the Investment Company Act of 1940 insofar as the Company will not be engaged in the business of investing or trading in securities. In the event the Company engages in business combinations which result in the Company holding passive investment interests in a number of entities, the Company could be subject to regulation under the Investment Company Act of 1940. In such event, the Company would be required to register as an investment company and could be expected to incur significant registration and compliance costs. The Company has obtained no formal determination from the Securities and Exchange Commission as to the status of the Company under the Investment Company Act of 1940 and, consequently, any violation of such Act would subject the Company to material adverse consequences. The Company presently desires to be exempt from the Investment Company Act of 1940 via Regulation 3a-2 thereto. INVESTMENT ADVISOR ACT OF 1940 The Company is not an "investment adviser" under the Federal Investment Adviser Act of 1940, which classification would involve a number of negative considerations. Accordingly, the Company will not furnish or distribute advice, counsel, publications, writings, analysis or reports to anyone relating to the purchase or sale of any securities within the language, meaning and intent of Section 2(a)(11) of the Investment Adviser Act of 1940, 15 U.S.C. ITEM 6. EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION. The Company issued 1,250 shares of Common Stock as compensation to former directors. None of the Company's current officer and/or director received any compensation for their respective services rendered unto the Company, nor have they received such compensation in the past. Aaron Tsai has agreed to act without compensation until authorized by the Board of Directors, which is not expected to occur until the Company has generated revenues from operations after consummation of a merger or acquisition. As of the date of this registration statement, the Company has no funds available to pay Aaron Tsai. Further, Aaron Tsai is not accruing any compensation pursuant to any agreement with the Company. It is possible that, after the Company successfully consummates a merger or acquisition with an unaffiliated entity, that entity may desire to employ or retain one or a number of members of the Company's management for the purposes of providing services to the surviving entity, or otherwise provide other compensation to such persons. However, the Company has adopted a policy whereby the offer of any post-transaction remuneration to members of management will not be a consideration in the Company's decision to undertake any proposed transaction. The management has agreed to disclose to the Company's Board of Directors any discussions concerning possible compensation to be paid to them by any entity which proposes to undertake a transaction with the Company. It is possible that persons associated with management may refer a prospective merger or acquisition candidate to the Company. In the event the Company consummates a transaction with any entity referred by associates of management, it is possible that such an associate will be compensated for their referral in the form of a finder's fee. It is anticipated that this fee will be either in the form of restricted common stock issued by the Company as part of the terms of the proposed transaction, or will be in the form of cash consideration. However, if such compensation is in the form of cash, such payment will be tendered by the acquisition or merger candidate, because the Company has insufficient cash available. The amount of such finder's fee cannot be determined as of the date of this registration statement, but is expected to be comparable to consideration normally paid in like transactions. Aaron Tsai may receive a finders fee, either directly or indirectly, as a result of his efforts to implement the Company's business plan outlined herein. The Company may also compensate Aaron Tsai, President of the Company between 800,000 to 1,500,000 shares of Common Stock of the Company for his services in connection with completion of an acquisition or merger. The Company does not intend to compensate any other Officers and Directors of the Company or consultants in connection with completion of an acquisition or merger. No retirement, pension, profit sharing, stock option or insurance programs or other similar programs have been adopted by the Company for the benefit of its employees. ITEM 7. CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS. There have been no related party transactions, or any other transactions or relationships required to be disclosed pursuant to Item 404 of Regulation S-B. ITEM 8. DESCRIPTION OF SECURITIES. COMMON STOCK The Articles of Incorporation currently authorizes the Company to issue Eighty Million (80,000,000) shares of Common Stock at $.001 par value. Each holder of the Common Stock shall be entitled to one vote for each share of Common Stock held. As of January 8, 2000 there are 8,519,900 shares of Common Stock outstanding. PREFERRED STOCK Pursuant to the Articles of Incorporation, the Company is authorized to issue Twenty Million (20,000,000) shares of Preferred Stock at $.001 par value. The Preferred Stock may be divided into Series or Classes, with special voting rights and preferences, to be established by the management of the Company upon the approval of a majority vote of the Directors of the Company. As of January 8, 2000, there are no shares of Preferred Stock outstanding. If the Board of Directors authorized the issuance of shares of Preferred Stock with conversion rights, the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding could potentially be increased by up to the authorized amount. Issuance of Preferred Stock could, under certain circumstances, have the effect of delaying or preventing a change in control of the Company and may adversely affect the rights of holders of other classes of Preferred Stock or holders of Common Stock. Also, Preferred Stock could have preferences over the Common Stock and other series of Preferred Stock with respect to dividends and liquidation rights. Upon liquidation of the Company, each shareholder is entitled to receive a proportionate share of the Company's assets available for distribution to shareholders after the payment of liabilities and after distribution in full of preferential amounts, if any. All shares of the Company's Common Stock issued and outstanding are fully-paid and nonassessable. Holders of the Common Stock are entitled to share pro rata in dividends and distributions with respect to the Common Stock, as may be declared by the Board of Directors out of funds legally available therefor. PART II ITEM 1. MARKET FOR COMMON EQUITY AND RELATED STOCKHOLDER MATTERS. There is no public trading market for the Company's Common Stock. The Company plans to apply to have its Common Stock traded on the over-the- counter market and listed on the OTC Bulletin Board. There is no assurance that a trading market will ever develop or, if such a market does develop, that it will continue. As of January 8, 2000, the number of holders of the Company's Common Stock was 151. DIVIDEND POLICY The Company has not paid any cash dividends on its Common Stock and presently intends to continue a policy of retaining earnings, if any, for reinvestment in its business. PENNY STOCK Until the Company's shares qualify for inclusion in the Nasdaq system, the trading of the Company's securities, if any, will be in the over-the-counter markets which are commonly referred to as the "pink sheets" or on the OTC Bulletin Board. As a result, an investor may find it more difficult to dispose of, or to obtain accurate quotations as to the price of the securities offered. Effective August 11, 1993, the Securities and Exchange Commission adopted Rule 15g-9, which established the definition of a "penny stock," for purposes relevant to the Company, as any equity security that has a market price of less than $5.00 per share or with an exercise price of less than $5.00 per share, subject to certain exceptions. For any transaction involving a penny stock, unless exempt, the rules require: (i) that a broker or dealer approve a person's account for transactions in penny stocks; and (ii) the broker or dealer receive from the investor a written agreement to the transaction, setting forth the identity and quantity of the penny stock to be purchased. In order to approve a person's account for transactions in penny stocks, the broker or dealer must (i) obtain financial information and investment experience and objectives of the person; and (ii) make a reasonable determination that the transactions in penny stocks are suitable for that person and that person has sufficient knowledge and experience in financial matters to be capable of evaluating the risks of transactions in penny stocks. The broker or dealer must also deliver, prior to any transaction in a penny stock, a disclosure schedule prepared by the Commission relating to the penny stock market, which, in highlight form, (i) sets forth the basis on which the broker or dealer made the suitability determination; and (ii) that the broker or dealer received a signed, written agreement from the investor prior to the transaction. Disclosure also has to be made about the risks of investing in penny stock in both public offering and in secondary trading, and about commissions payable to both the broker-dealer and the registered representative, current quotations for the securities and the rights and remedies available to an investor in cases of fraud in penny stock transactions. Finally, monthly statements have to be sent disclosing recent price information for the penny stock held in the account and information on the limited market in penny stocks. The National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. (the "NASD"), which administers NASDAQ, has recently made changes in the criteria for continued NASDAQ eligibility. In order to continue to be included on NASDAQ, a company must maintain $2,000,000 in net tangible assets or $35,000,000 in market capitalization or $500,000 net income in latest fiscal year or 2 or last 3 fiscal years, a $1,000,000 market value of its publicly-traded securities and 500,000 shares in public float. In addition, continued inclusion requires two market-makers and a minimum bid price of $1.00 per share. Management intends to strongly consider undertaking a transaction with any merger or acquisition candidate which will allow the Company's securities to be traded without the aforesaid limitations. However, there can be no assurances that, upon a successful merger or acquisition, the Company will qualify its securities for listing on NASDAQ or some other national exchange, or be able to maintain the maintenance criteria necessary to insure continued listing. The failure of the Company to qualify its securities or to meet the relevant maintenance criteria after such qualification in the future may result in the discontinuance of the inclusion of the Company's securities on a national exchange. In such events, trading, if any, in the Company's securities may then continue in the over-the-counter market. As a result, a shareholder may find it more difficult to dispose of, or to obtain accurate quotations as to the market value of, the Company's securities. ITEM 2. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS. The Company is not a party to any legal proceedings. ITEM 3. CHANGES IN AND DISAGREEMENTS WITH ACCOUNTANTS ON ACCOUNTING AND FINANCIAL DISCLOSURE. The Company has not changed accountants since its formation and there are no disagreements with the findings of said accountants. ITEM 4. RECENT SALES OF UNREGISTERED SECURITIES. On January 6, 1997, the Company issued 8,500,000 shares of Common Stock to Aaron Tsai, President of the Company, for $90, which was below the par value at $.001 per common share. The Company relied on exemption provided by Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, for the issuance of 8,500,000 shares of Common Stock to Aaron Tsai. On January 6, 1997, the Company issued 500 shares of Common Stock and on September 30, 1998 the Company issued 750 shares of Common Stock to former directors of the Company as compensation for their services valued at $1 and $1, respectively. On October 1, 1999, the Company issued 100 shares of Common Stock to an individual as compensation for his service valued at $0. The Company relied on exemption provided by Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, for the issuance of 500 shares and 750 shares of Common Stock to the former directors of the Company and 100 shares of Common Stock to an individual. All of these shares are "restricted" shares as defined in Rule 144 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Act"). These shares may not be offered for public sale except under Rule 144, or otherwise, pursuant to the Act. On January 6, 1997, Aaron Tsai gifted 50,000 shares of Common Stock each to three former directors of the Company for a total of 150,000 shares of Common Stock. Aaron Tsai relied on exemption provided by Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, for the transfer of the 150,000 shares. On January 6, 1997 and on January 31, 1998, Aaron Tsai gifted 50,000 shares of Common Stock each to two non-U.S. persons for a total of 100,000 shares of Common Stock as gift. Aaron Tsai relied on exemption provided by Regulation S of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, for the transfer of 100,000 shares of Common Stock to these two non-U.S. persons. All of these shares are "restricted" shares as defined in Rule 144 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Act"). These shares may not be offered for public sale except under Rule 144, or otherwise, pursuant to the Act. All of the investors except one, who received securities issued in reliance on Section 4(2), are accredited investors. The Company have made avaialbe to them all corporate documents. On March 31, 1997, the Company completed a distribution of 7,750 shares of Common Stock to 31 non-U.S. persons as gift. On September 30, 1998 the Company completed a distribution of 10,800 shares of Common Stock to 108 non-U.S. persons as gift. The Company relied on exemption provided by Regulation S of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, for the issuance of 7,750 shares and 10,800 shares of Common Stock to these non-U.S. persons. All of these shares are "restricted" shares as defined by Regulation S under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Act"). Most of these shares may not be offered for public sale except under Regulation S, Rule 144, or otherwise, pursuant to the Act. Of the 8,519,900 shares of the Company's Common Stock outstanding, 8,508,250 shares are eligible for sale in the public market, subject in the case of most of such shares to comply with the volume limitations of Rule 144 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"). In general, under Rule 144, a person (or persons whose shares are aggregated) who has satisfied a one year holding period, under certain circumstances, may sell within any three-month period a number of shares which does not exceed the greater of one percent of the then outstanding Common Stock or the average weekly trading volume during the four calendar weeks prior to such sale. Rule 144 also permits, under certain circumstances, the sale of shares without any quantity limitation by a person who has satisfied a two-year holding period and who is not, and has not been for the preceding three months, an affiliate of the Company. Regulation S provides generally that any offer or sale that occurs outside of the United States is exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, provided that certain conditions are met. Regulation S has two safe harbors. One safe harbor applies to offers and sales by issuers, securities professionals involved in the distribution process pursuant to contract, their respective affiliates, and persons acting on behalf of any of the foregoing (the "issuer safe harbor"), and the other applies to resales by persons other than the issuer, securities professionals involved in the distribution process pursuant to contract, their respective affiliates (except certain officers and directors), and persons acting on behalf of any of the forgoing (the "resale safe harbor"). An offer, sale or resale of securities that satisfied all conditions of the applicable safe harbor is deemed to be outside the United States as required by Regulation S. The distribution compliance period for shares sold in reliance on Regulation S is two years. The Company has complied with the requirements of Regulation S by having no directed selling efforts made in the United States, ensuring that each persons is a non-U.S. person with address in a foreign country and having each persons made representation to the Company certifying that he or she is not a U.S. person and is not acquiring the Securities for the account or benefit of a U.S. person other than persons who purchased Securities in transactions exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act; and also agrees only to sell the Securities in accordance with the registration provisions of the Securities Act or an exemption therefrom, or in accordance with the provisions of the Regulation. Three individuals who assisted the company in the gifting of shares in reliance on Regulation S are David Guevara, Sergey Nerba and Robert Bowmer. The criteria for the selection of the giftees are that they need to be non-U.S. persons and willing to certify that they are non-U.S. persons and agree only to sell the securities in accordance with the registration provisions of the Securities Act or an exemption therefrom, or in accordance with the provisions of the Regulation. David Guevara, Sergey Nerba and Robert Bowmer assisted the company in gifting shares to non-U.S. persons in Venezuela, Russia and U.K., respectively. None of them received compensation for the gifting of shares. They are also giftees of shares of the company. The Company has obligations to ensure that any state laws are not violated through the sale and resale of its securities. Aaron Tsai, President of the Company, understood and agreed that the securities of the Company originally issued to him, currently held by MAS Capital Inc. are unregistered and restricted securities and may not be sold, transferred or otherwise disposed of unless registered or qualified under applicable state securities laws or an exemption therefrom is available. ITEM 5. INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS. The Company shall indemnify to the fullest extent permitted by, and in the manner permissible under the laws of the State of Indiana, any person made, or threatened to be made, a party to an action or proceeding, whether criminal, civil, administrative or investigative, by reason of the fact that he is or was a director or officer of the Company, or served any other enterprise as director, officer or employee at the request of the Company. The Board of Directors, in its discretion, shall have the power on behalf of the Company to indemnify any person, other than a director or officer, made a party to any action, suit or proceeding by reason of the fact that he/she is or was an employee of the Company. INDEMNIFICATION OF OFFICERS OR PERSONS CONTROLLING THE COMPANY FOR LIABILITIES ARISING UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, IS HELD TO BE AGAINST PUBLIC POLICY BY THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION AND IS THEREFORE UNENFORCEABLE.

MAS ACQUISITION XXV CORP. Date: January 8, 2000 By: /s/ Aaron Tsai __________________________________ Aaron Tsai President, Chief Executive Officer Treasurer and Director REPORT OF INDEPENDENT AUDITORS Shareholders and Board of Directors MAS Acquisition XXV Corp. We have audited the accompanying balance sheet of MAS Acquisition XXV Corp. (a development stage Company) as of December 31, 1999, and the related statements of operations, changes in stockholders' equity, and cash flows for each of the years ended December 31, 1998 and 1999, and the period from January 6, 1997 (date of inception) 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 audits. We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits 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 audits provide 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 MAS Acquisition XXV Corp. (a development stage Company) as of December 31, 1999, and the results of its operations, and its cash flows for each of the years ended December 31, 1998 and 1999, and the period from January 6, 1997 (date of inception) to December 31, 1999 in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles. The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 4 the Company has been in the development stage since inception. Realization of the Company's assets is dependent upon the Company's ability to meet its future financing requirements, and the success of future operations. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. /s/Stark Tinter & Associates, LLC Stark Tinter & Associates, LLC Certified Public Accountants Denver, Colorado January 5, 2000 MAS Acquisition XXV Corp.

Read the accompanying notes to the financial statements. MAS Acquisition XXV Corp. (A Development Stage Company) Notes to Financial Statements As of December 31, 1999 Note 1. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES A. Organization The Company was incorporated on January 6, 1997, in the State of Indiana. The Company is in the development stage and its intent is to locate suitable business ventures to acquire. The Company has had no significant business activity to date and has chosen December 31, as a year end. B. Cash and cash equivalents Cash and cash equivalents consist of cash and other highly liquid debt instruments with an original maturity of less than three months. C. Intangible assets The cost of intangible assets is amortized using the straight line method over the estimated useful economic life (five years for organization costs). They are stated at cost less accumulated amortization. The Company reviews for the impairment of long-lived assets and certain identifiable intangibles whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of the asset may not be recoverable. An impairment loss would be recognized when estimated future cash flows expected to result from the use of the asset and its eventual disposition is less than its carrying amount. No such impairment losses have been identified in the periods presented. D. Net loss per share Net loss per share is computed by dividing the net loss for the period by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. E. Use of estimates The preparation of the Company's financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from these estimates. Note 2. STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY At inception the Company issued 8,500,000 shares of its $.001 par value common stock to an officer as reimbursement of organization costs paid by the officer. Fair value used for this transaction of $90 is based upon the actual cost of incorporation. MAS Acquisition XXV Corp. (A Development Stage Company) Notes to Financial Statements As of December 31, 1999 (Continued) During January, 1997 the Company issued 500 shares of its $.001 par value common stock to directors as compensation valued at $1. During March, 1997 the Company issued 7,750 shares of its common stock to foreign citizens as a gift with an aggregate fair value of $8. During September, 1998 the Company issued 750 shares of its $.001 par value common stock to directors as compensation valued at $1. During September, 1998 the Company issued 10,800 shares of its common stock to foreign citizens as a gift with an aggregate fair value of $11.

INCOME TAXES Deferred income taxes may arise from temporary differences resulting from income and expense items reported for financial accounting and tax purposes in different periods. Deferred taxes are classified as current or non- current, depending on the classifications of the assets and liabilities to which they relate. Deferred taxes arising from temporary differences that are not related to an asset or liability are classified as current or non- current depending on the periods in which the temporary differences are expected to reverse. The deferred tax asset related to the operating loss carryforward has been fully reserved. The Company's net operating loss carryforwards expire in 2012 through 2014. Note 4. GOING CONCERN CONSIDERATION The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles, which contemplates the continuation of the Company as a going concern. As discussed in Note 1 the Company is in the development stage and the realization of its assets is dependent upon its ability to meet its future financing requirements, and the success of its future operations. Management plans include obtaining additional equity financing and the acquisition of a suitable business venture to provide the opportunity for the Company to continue as a going concern.
