Employer Identification No.) 719 5th Street Miami Beach, FL 33139 (Address of principal executive offices) (Zip Code) (305) 579-9008 (Issuer's telephone number) Securities to be Registered Under Section 12(b) of the Act: None Securities to be Registered Under Section 12(g) of the Act: Common Stock $.000666 Par Value (Title of Class) To simplify the language in this Registration Statement StartCall.com, Inc. is referred to herein as "the Company" or "We". Item 1. Description of Business. We were incorporated under the name Click and Call Corporation in the State of Florida in October, 1999 and on June 5, 2000 a Certificate of Amendment was filed with the Secretary of State of Florida changing the name of the Company to StartCall.com, Inc. StartCall.com, Inc. is an application service provider (ASP) that offers real-time interaction technology as an out source service. It was established to suit the need for a quick and easy solution to customer service while conducting e-commerce business over the Internet. The Company will offer to all businesses the opportunity to improve their online customer care service by placing an Internet voice box and a Text Chat button with a URL push feature on their website. These tools allow their visitors and customers visiting their websites to receive live help at the crucial point of purchase and or when any type of assistance is needed. I-1 Business Overview. The nature of our products or services is to offer a technology that will enable visitors to a web site to simply click on a button and request live help at the crucial point of purchase or when needed or desired by the customer. We currently provide only two ways of Interaction: Via Voice or through Voice over Protocol Technology and Interactive Text Chat or Instant Messaging. Through a public relations campaign, in-house sales representatives, strategic alliances, and advertising, StartCall's goal is to become the leading business for all businesses that provide online customer service solutions for e-commerce. The Company's plan is to bring the element of human-touch to the online world. Our tools allow their visitors, customers and potential customers visiting their Web site to receive live help at the crucial point of purchase and/or when any type of assistance is needed. We intent to become the predominant e-commerce service company by providing our Online Interactive Technology that will be both Efficient and Cost Effective for any business with a presence in the Internet, our services are ClickiCall and ClickiChat. The ClickiCall button provides companies the opportunity to increase online sales by giving visitors to their site the facility to use the ClickiCall button that connects them instantly and directly from their Personal Computer ("PC") to a sales Customer Service Representative's regular office phone. The calls are made from a conventional Personal Computer, with a sound card, speakers and microphone. Calls are received on any type of conventional phone at the office, home or cellular phone. The ClickiChat button allows Net surfers to receive live assistance via Text. Live Chat is popular among many of today's Internet buyers. Customer service representatives ("CSRs") can manage multiple chat sessions simultaneously, serving multiple buyers cost effectively. Chat sessions are helpful in processing orders for the hearing impaired. The ClickiChat service is personal, private and secure. The URL push or Pushing pages feature impresses and educates site - visitors on the navigation of the site, to show product information or instructions not otherwise available, or to share confidential, competitive difference or pricing information that would not otherwise be made available for all Web site visitors. A CSR can instantly "push" those pages and images to qualified prospects in an impressive manner that supports the selling process. We believe that our ClickiChat service offers our clients the opportunity to increase sales by answering customer questions and solving customer problems at critical points in the buying process. It also enables our clients to reduce customer service costs by allowing them to enhance operating efficiency and to improve customer response times. In addition, information captured in transcripts of live text-based interactions can be used by our clients to increase their responsiveness to customer needs and preferences, thereby improving customer satisfaction, loyalty and retention. I-2 Our products are operational for both the ClickiCall and ClickiChat services. We started offering our ClickiChat service on July 1, 2001. We have received small amounts of revenue from the sale of our ClickiChat solution as well as miscellaneous consulting. Even though we have not promoted our ClickiChat service, we had visitors to our web site who decided to buy our service and therefore we were able to receive some limited revenues. We are going to start selling our services directly through our Web sites: www.startcall.com,www.liveinternethelp.com, www.clickicall.com, www.clickichat.com. We intend to generate traffic by promoting the name of our services. In addition, we intend to start promoting our services through our strategic marketing alliances by offering to their customers a 30 FREE trial of our ClickiChat service. This means that our new customers will have unlimited usage of the Clickichat service for 30 days. With some of our strategic marketing alliances we will have an ongoing promotional marketing campaign for yet an undetermined amount of time. We do not and will not rely on one specific marketing alliance to generate substantial revenues and we will continue finding new channels of distribution to market our services. This 30 day FREE trial campaign will focus on our ClickiChat service only. This offers means that we will allow business with a presence on the Internet to test our ClickiChat service on their site as an Interactive Text Chat Solution. We will not offer a free trial for the ClickiCall service. Our methods to increase traffic to our Web sites will be by initiating email campaigns talking about our services. We will try to attract more awareness to our services by doing road shows or participating in trade shows, press releases, associating to chamber of commerce nationally and internationally. We will provide a 30-day FREE trial of our ClickiChat service to all first time users so they may become familiar with our service. We feel that our potential difficulty is timing. There are several other companies competing in our area of business services. Our goal is to achieve certain parameters that will allow us to compete with companies which provide similar services to those of the ClickiChat solution. In addition, our goal is to maintain up-to-date with new technologies to provide our customers with rapid solutions to their needs in the area of online customer service. In addition, we also feel that we should be able to gain market share due to the quality of our marketing alliances, and influences these strategic alliances may have on their customers. Since our primary product is the ClickiChat solution, we feel confident that once we officially launch our services we should be able to gain market share fairly quickly. Our primary product is our ClickiChat service and not the ClickiCall service. We do not choose to make ClickiCall our primary product because, in the opinion of our management, there is not enough interest in the market for this type of service. Furthermore, the ClickiCall service requires end users to have a sound card in their computer, plus speakers and other minor components which everyone does not have. This is unlike the ClickiChat which is just simple text chat that every computer is able to do. There is always the possibility that someone else may come up with a better technology and for lesser price. Currently, there are no companies offering a similar service to our ClickiChat at our price structure, but there is no assurace that no other company will maintain prices higher than ours. I-3 Our prices were effective on June 1st, 2001. Each of these packages will provide the following functions and benefits: Reduces Cost - Your customer service reps can each manage up to 4 support sessions at one time vs. answering phone call, one on one.

As set forth above, the difference between our ClikiChat Silver package and Gold package is that our Silver package allows one operator per license and that our Gold package allows up to 4 operators per license. They both have all functionalities set forth above except for the amount of operators who able to use the software simultaneously. For further information on our Pricing Model for ClickiChat please visit: www.liveinternethelp.com. ------------------------ The Pricing for our ClickiCall service is $14.95 per month which includes 50 calls (unlimited time ) with additional calls at $0.25 per call. Additionally, the Company plans to branch out into the areas of Internet long distance telecommunication services with the use of the StartCall Dial Pad and the Banner Ad Center which offers businesses the opportunity to let interested parties contact them directly from their banner ads and/or press releases via e-mail. We do not own the technology use or the proprietary service behind our the StartCall Dial Pad Service and Banner Ad. These concepts can be duplicated by other companies. Nonetheless we intend to start marketing the Interactive Banner Ad at the beginning of December 2001 prior to Holiday season. We have not fully developed the StartCall Dial Pad and due to market conditions we may not continue developing this service at this time until further notice. We may choose to continue developing this service at a later date which has not yet been determined. Currently our focus is primarily on our ClickiChat service. At this moment we are using technology that belongs to other companies, our ClickiChat technology is available to us by Click 121 and the technology for our ClickiCall services is owned by Vocaltec NASDAQ: (VOCL). We are in the process to developing technology for our own ClickiChat services. Currently we do not pay or receive revenues from other sources such as joint ventures or strategic alliances or online affiliated programs. We expect to receive revenues from the following sources once we launch our services: I-7 1. Strategic Alliances 2. Online Affiliated Programs 3. Link Exchange Our strategic marketing alliances are simply associations with companies that will help StartCall promote the usage and sale of its services ClickiCall and ClickiChat to their customers and prospects. This type of relationship generates revenues to the Company when one of our strategic alliance refers one of its customers to buy our services. In exchange we provide this strategic marketing allied company a percentage of the revenue collected from each sale. Furthermore, we may have what is known as the new online economy affiliated online programs which refers to when businesses with a presence on the Internet wish to promote our services by placing small adds on their web site. For every account we receive from this web site, the web site owner will receive a commission. This is what is known as an affiliated program. Our agreements with our third parties supplier is to purchase rights for usage of the technology in order to provide our services. We currently have two suppliers. At present, we have reported the minimum expenses incurred to date as components of research and development costs. Upon the engagement of customers, the following outlines the cost structure that will compromise the anticipated cost of sales: 1. Volcaltec, Inc. They provide us with the technology platform in order for us to sell our ClickiCall service. In exchange they charge us a yearly fee and a cost per call. (Please see attached agreement). We pay Vocaltec a minimum of $12,000 per year for our ClickiCall service; In addition we also have the following payment schedule on usage: Customer sessions Our cost per session or call that Vocaltec Calls per month Vocaltec charges us. --------------------- ------------------------------------------- 20,000 to 50,000 $0.20 50,001 to 100,000 $0.15 100,001 to 200,000 $0.10 100,001 to 200,000 $0.05 200,000 or more $0.04 We charge our customers a flat rate of $14.95 per month, which includes 50 calls or sessions, additional call are $.25 per session unlimited. I-8 2. Click 121, Inc. They provide us with the technology platform in order for us to sell our ClickiChat service. In exchange they received 33.33% of our gross collected revenue. We are in the process of developing our own technology which we believe will be completed the by the end of the 3rd fiscal quarter this year. In the interim we continues to pay the fee to Click 121. Click 121, this is simply part of our expenses of doing business, again as we mentioned before we are in the process of developing our own technology, we feel that by the end of our 3rd fiscal quarter this year, we shall have develop our proprietary solution, meanwhile we will continue paying this over-head. These agreements mentioned above both shall continue in force for a term of one year unless terminated earlier under any provision hereof. These agreements shall be automatically renewed for additional one-year terms unless either party provides notice in writing to the other party no less than 30 days prior to the expiration date. Please see agreements attached for Click 121 and Vocaltec. The Click Interconnect function is to oversee the daily administrative operations of the ClickIchat solution. StartCall through Click Interconnect provides reporting modules for tracking information and running reports plus control modules for customization. Users can generate their own real-time daily, weekly, monthly or customized reports; track call volume, length of the ClickIchat sessions, usage and collect customer data. (ClickIchat is the Company's Interactive Text Solution). We have several different contracts at this stage and are constantly trying to bring new potential strategic marketing alliances to promote our services. According to recent research undertaken by the Company in yahoo.com, we found exactly 8,071 ISP's (Internet Service Providers). We will pursue a campaign calling and emailing these ISP's with the objective to establish strategic marketing alliances. As of this date, we have entered into agreements with the following companies: o Epubliceye.com o Pricealliance.com o LiveChatSupport.com o Makeastore.com I-9 We use a general dealer/promoter agreement with these companies. The terms of the agreements are standard for each company with the exception of the compensation plan which may change from one promoter to another, based upon the potential business that each individual promoter may have to offer. The following sets forth the general terms of these agreements: 1. We utilize the services of the Promoter to promote said Services to end users. Promoter agrees to take reasonable steps to make available to potential end-users an opportunity to purchase our services in accordance with the our best interest. Additional products or services offered or sold to Promoter's contacts will be commissionable to Promoter. The Promoter shall be our non exclusive dealer for selling "Internet related services". 2. We agree to make payments due to Promoter under this Agreement and to provide the Promoter with documents and information normally provided by us and necessary to fulfill Promoter's duties hereunder, including, but not limited to, Application Documents, Service Agreements, marketing materials, and documents and information regarding practices to configure the Services and support the Services. 3. We pay the Promoter a fee for accounts in accordance with a Compensation Schedule set forth as an Appendix. The Promoter only receive fees from those accounts resulting from Promoter's efforts as evidenced by a duly executed original Service Agreement during the term of this Agreement and at times when neither Promoter nor end-user is in breach or default of this Agreement and/or the Service Agreement. Commissions are be payable to Promoter not later than the last day of each month following the month of the Company's receipt. 4. The Agreements are effective upon execution by the last party to sign, and expires the sooner of six (6) months or the sale of 5000 account of Click I Chat and/or Click I Call. The Agreement may thereafter renew on terms mutually agreeable to both parties. The Agreement may be terminated by either party at any time upon 30 days written notice or by a new term Agreement is executed, which shall supersede this Agreement. 5. The following sets forth the standard appendix to these agreements with regard calculation of compensation for these promoters: The expected performance of Promoter is to refer a minimum of 5 new subscribers per month or $ 1,000.00 in billing revenue. Minimum requirements are expected by the end of 6 months from the date of this Agreement. Month 7 will officially be the end of the ramp-up period and we expect the above stated performance. Both parties agree that Clickichat is the subject of this Agreement and that the Promoter will maintain our price structure. The Promoter will refer potential purchasers of Live Chat licenses (Clickichat) at the Standard Price (Set by us and currently $ 29.95 per month including 25 sessions). The Promoter will receive a residual income as listed on the commission scale on Page #2 of the total monthly fees or sales that result from their referrals or follow up purchases as well as compensation of the installation fee, if charged. Sales are Qualified when the end-user is accepted by Start and the end-user's deposit is made. All services are provided strictly on a pre-paid basis. Additional Chat Sessions above the basic will be charged at $0.25 per session, with the same compensation percentages as stated on Page #2. Maximum sales fees per account will be $250.00 per month. I-10 The objective of these agreements is to initiate the promotion and sale of the Company's e-commerce interactive solutions (ClickIcall and ClickIchat). The above-mentioned companies combined have approximately 1 Million commerce Web sites as potential immediate customers. The agreements with these companies are strategic marketing alliances and these companies are not customers of the Company. The Company plans to grow and expand by establishing new strategic marketing alliances throughout the world to provide a variety of interactive e-commerce solutions. Continuing to Build Strong Brand Recognition. The StartCall brand name will be prominently displayed on the pop-up dialogue window that appears when an Internet user has requested assistance. We believe that high visibility placement of our brand name will create greater brand awareness and increase demand for the StartCall service. In addition, we intend to leverage increasing awareness of our brand and our reputation as a leading provider of real-time sales and customer service technology to become a well- recognized solution for companies doing business on the Internet. We intend to expand our traditional and online marketing activities to achieve these goals. Achieving and Maintaining a Technological Leadership Position. The Company's goal is to achieve and maintain a leadership position in the industry through its technology. The Company believes it can achieve these goals since Vocaltec, has received more rewards than any other company developing Voice over IP technology. In addition, even though our ClickiChat technology is owned by Click 121, the Company is currently developing its technology and believes that there is no other company currently in the market offering the same amount of functions ClickiChat will be able to offer to its users with its current prices. Once the Company launches its own technology, it will concentrate its efforts to continue offering to its customers, competitive prices and added features to its services as needed or demanded in the market place. Our focus is to maintain ourselves in constant awareness of new developments of tightly integrated software design and network architecture that is both reliable and scalable. We have already undertaken research by testing companies which competes in its arena such as: www.liveperson.com, www.livehelper.com, and www.humanclick.com. In addition, we intend to devote significant resources for research and development of new innovations.Over the course of the next six months we intend to invest approximately $100,000, if necessary, for the research and development of new innovations in our ClickiChat service. Although we have only one person in our technical department at this time in order to keep our overhead down, we I-11 plan to hire a team of software developers on a per needed basis only. Since inception we have spent approximately $69,319 in research and development to various software developers for the development of its own Clichichat service. Together with our strategic alliances we plan to expand the features and functionality of our existing ClickiChat service, develop broader applications for our service and create new products and services that will benefit our expanding client base. We will continue to evaluate emerging technologies, industry standards and continually update the technology in response to changes in the real-time, customer service industry. We believe that these efforts will allow us to effectively anticipate changing client and end-user requirements in our rapidly evolving industry. In order to begin to successfully implement its growth plan and achieve the objectives identified earlier, we have already formed strategic alliances with several large corporations. Each of these alliances would provide StartCall with a critical cornerstone element for its growth strategy. ePublicEye.com: ePublicEye.com is an independent third party that allows consumers to rate e-business for reliability, privacy and customer satisfaction. Since 1996, ePublicEye.com's proprietary monitoring system has been providing the information consumers care about most. They call this information eConsumer Intelligence(tm) and with it, Internet shoppers are empowered to make confident buying decisions. This is achieved through our Open Customer Satisfaction reporting system (OCSR). ePublicEye.com will promote the sale and marketing of our Interactive Solutions (Clickicall & Clickichat) throughout its network of over 20,000 e-commerce companies. Price Alliance: a leading Internet Shopping and Search Engine Placement company, since 1996. ; Shopping Portals and Online Malls reach 50,000,000+ Shoppers ; Search Engines and Portals reach 75% of all Internet Users ; B2B Marketplaces reach 180,000,000 buyers and sellers I-12 COMPETITION StartCall will compete in the areas of Internet Live Customer Care Support over the Internet. It will provide its services to e-commerce based companies looking to improve their online customer care and/or provide interactive features through their Web site. We directly compete with companies focused on online live customer support and application service providers that facilitate real-time sales and customer service interaction. The primary competition for StartCall's primary service, ClickiChat/Support, includes LivePerson, Inc. which is a pure-play ASP customer Service Company with a market cap of approximately $50 million. It is a publicly held company that has over 800 customers and its revenues for the financial year 2000 were $6.2 million with a net loss of $29.5 million. LivePerson's chat service is priced at three times compared to our ClickiChat/Support. From a product offering perspective, ClickiChat has the most in common with LivePerson: both products are completely web-based and offer similar functionalities. The Company will also compete, in some ways, with much larger companies such as Cisco, eGain, and Kana. All three of these vendors offer large integrated CRM solutions that contain some forms of web-based chat. These vendors compete on a much larger scale, and their engagements are typically greater than $150,000. None of these vendors offer an ASP solution to their products, and therefore have a much longer sales cycle, and require a significantly greater upfront investment from their customers. While StartCall's ClickiChat/Support has competitive overlap with these vendors from a functional standpoint, StartCall does not expect to engage them in head-to-head customer acquisitions. We may also compete with other pure-play customer service organizations such as: cs-live, FaceTime, LiveAssist, and eShare. These vendors are third- and second- tier players that offer online customer support in the same fashion as our service. Each competes on different value propositions: some vendors offer the service for free but only provide limited functionality, requiring the customer to "upgrade" to the fee-based version. Others offer advertising supported versions of their product that push ad-banners into the chat session. We believes that we will offer the most cost effective price models available in the market today. To compare please visit C/Net web site or go to: http://webware.cnet.com/b/li/1-1005-1257.asp?tag=st.ww.dp.ClickiChat_rel.1-1005- 1257. We will also face competition from clients and potential clients that choose to provide a real-time sales and customer service solution in-house, as well as, to a lesser extent, traditional offline customer service solutions, such as telephone call centers. The Company will offer a world class solution at the most affordable prices. I-13 When we state that it is our goal to become and maintain a leadership position with our services, we feel we can support such statement based on a number of different reasons such as unique functionalities avaliable in our technology with our proze structure. No assurance is available that no other competitor will maintain their prices lowers than ours. Furthermore, we have also considered the fact that Vocaltec does offer the technology behind our ClickiCall service to other companies and it is important to realize that other businesses may offer the same service as we do, since Vocaltec has the right to do so. It is our belief that we can differentiate ourselves from our competition by providing our potential customers with the ability to choose either one of our services, ClickiCall or ClickiChat. This is unlike most of our competition which usually provide usually one type of Interactive solution. However, there is no assurance that our competitors will not try to provide both type of Interactive Solutions. 1. Vocaltec, unlike any other company developing Voice over IP technology, has received more awards than any other Voice over IP developers. Vocaltec's Our Voice over IP service technology has been awarded as one of the most reliable and best interactive solution available in the e-commerce world today. Some of the awards which VocalTec has received include: Network Magazine Internet Telephony Magazine c|net "Product of the Year" "Product of the Year" "Buy it" Voice Europe 99 PW Magazine PC Magazine "Best Call Center Solution" "Product of the Week" "Top 100 Most Influential"
2. With regards to the ClickiChat technology, even though the technology is owned by Click 121, we are currently developing our technology. Once we launch our own technology, we will use our up-most effort to continue offering our prospective customers, competitive prices and added features to our services as needed or demanded in the market place. The above statement is in the opinion of management and is based on the following facts: a- We offer our ClickiChat service as low as $29.95 per operator license per month, which in the opinion of management, is the lowest price for these services. The closest competitor is Humanclick.com which is a liveperson.com company which charges $89.95. No assurance is available that our competitors will maintain their prices higher than ours. I-14 b- Unlike most of our competitors such as Humanclick.com and livehelper. com there is no nothing needed to be downloaded both on the operator side as well as the customers or visitor's side. Our service is purely Internet driven. In addition we do not intend to replace Vocaltec's technology, but we will eventually replace Click 121's for our own proprietary software. This software that we are developing for our ClickiChat service is still under development. In the opinion of management, the amount of functions we will have available will be unlike any other that we are aware of based on management's experiences and requests we had from users of the Clickichat service. c- In the opinion of management, the Vocaltec technology does not play a significant role in the leadership position we intend to become. The significant role in our business model will beour ability to provide excellent, reliable service for our ClickiChat solution to our customers. Our primary product is the ClickiChat service and not the ClickiCall, our goal is to primarily promote the ClickiChat service and only if requested by a customer we will provide them the ClickiCall service. 3. In addition, our sales force and customer service representatives focus on quality care service. StartCall provides live connectivity on the web between businesses and their prospects and/or clients. As such, it offers state-of- the-art technology at a fraction of the cost of traditional live-connectivity solutions without a significant, up-front financial commitment. With StartCall, small, mid-size and large corporations can now provide their customers immediate, on-demand interaction with their customer care or sales representatives, and this valuable competitive edge could be part of a Web site the same day it is requested. Unlike our competitors providing hardware/software applications at customer's premises, StartCall is uniquely positioned to provide easy-to-implement, easy-to-use, and the most cost effective and reliable Web live-connectivity solutions, both via the telephone as well as in the chat format. I-15 MARKETING --------- The Company will market its products and services through internal direct sales and Independent Sales Channels. Internet sales and promotion are managed by Sylvio Martini, our Vice President of Technology, and strategic alliances are managed by Antonio Treminio, our President and Chief Executive Officer. From its central offices in Miami, Florida, StartCall manages the marketing, administration, and coordination for all of the Company's activities. Such responsibilities include the installation of the ClickIcall and ClickIchat button to a business Web site, technical support, daily bookkeeping and scheduling of employee responsibilities. A business in need of StartCall's service has several options. It can either log on to our Web site at http://www.clickicall.com and receive live assistance, it can call our toll free number or send an email to inform us of their interest in our service. Upon acknowledging such interest, a customer service representative will contact them to establish the relationship. Within 24 hours thereafter, the business will be able to have their potential customers utilize the service with the simple click of a button. A trained StartCall technician will work in conjunction with the Webmaster to install the services. Once installed, the process of utilizing the ClickIcall and ClickIchat buttons is quite simple for the businesses potential customers. For the Internet Voice Button a typical website surfer simply clicks on the ClickIcall button and downloads the plug-in. This download takes roughly from 1 to up to 4- minutes and is only needed the first time a customer utilizes the service. Once downloaded, the customer will hear a phone actually ringing. A live customer service representative will answer the call and be able to answer the customer's questions. When a customer clicks the "ClickIchat" button on a Web site, a screen pops up requesting the customer's name, to help personalize the communication. A Customer Service Representative greets the customer and the two-way text-chat dialog begins as both parties take turns typing text online. Because the text-chat sessions are conducted over a secure connection, e-buyers and Web businesses can enter confidential information without any fear of the information being hijacked. We focus to maintain ourselves in constant awareness of new developments of tightly integrated software design and network architecture that is both reliable and scalable. As previously mentioned we intent to devote initially $100,000 for research and development of our own ClickiChat technology. Specifically, together with our strategic marketing alliances we plan to expand the features and functionality of our existing service, develop broader applications for our service and create new products and services that will benefit our expanding client base. I-16 As we mentioned previously we will continue seeking opportunities to form new strategic marketing alliances as well as seeking the possibilities to acquire other companies that will enhance our business. We have entered into selected strategic alliances with re-sellers and customer service call centers and may enter into additional alliances in the future. Our marketing activities are funded directly with the Company's working capital and other activities such as online affiliated programs and link exchange banner ads. Online Affiliated Programs is a new wave of self creating strategic alliances that are automatically establish online through a network of different web sites, These web sites measure the number of orders and visitors that one particular web site may get from or referred by another. Affiliate Marketing is a revolutionary method for driving profits through revenue sharing relationships between online merchants and content sites. Affiliate Marketing pushes products and services out to the consumer on virtual shelf space across the Web, creating more opportunities for merchants to generate sales, for affiliates to earn revenue from their sites, and for consumers to find the products and services they want on the Web. Through Affiliate Marketing, merchants can place their advertising banners and links on content sites worldwide and only pay a commission when those links generate a sale or qualified lead. Affiliated content sites can easily convert their online content into e-commerce by populating it with these revenue-generating links. How It Works With Affiliate Marketing, a merchant recruits content sites to partner with them as affiliates in exchange for commissions. The merchant provides their advertising banners and links to their affiliates and assigns a commission for each click-through to their site, subscription to their service (a lead), or purchase of their products that is generated from the links. Affiliates place the tracking code for these ads into their Web pages. Whenever a visitor to the affiliate's site uses these links to generate a click- through, lead, or sale for the merchant, that transaction is tracked online. If a product or service is purchased, the customer pays the merchant directly, and the affiliate is paid a commission for that transaction. Why It's Effective Affiliate Marketing allows you to profit online with your current business or Web site without the hassle of CPM ad buys and uncertainty about the effectiveness of your ad dollars. Affiliate Marketing provides results instead of promises, and Commission Junction gives you all the tools you need to build and maintain the most successful affiliate and merchant relationships.

Presently the Company has two employees and two independent contractors. The two employees have multiple responsibilities including technology/programmers, management, clerical and administrative. The two independent contractors are the sale people for the Company. The Company anticipates that it may employ up to 17 people within the next 12 months: Technology-programmers - 3; Sales - 8; Administrative - accountant/bookkeeping - 2; Management/Directors - 2; and Clerical - filing - 2. The Company also outsourcers to independent contractors for such areas as sales, marketing, accounting, tax, and other services needs. The Company has not entered into any collective bargaining agreements. The Company will offer employee stock compensation programs based on performance (Bonus programs: stock and cash bonus). Other benefits will include health insurance, life insurance and retirement plans. I-18 Risk Factors Developmental Stage Company; Limited Operating History: The Company is a ------------------------------------------------------ development stage company enterprise organized in October 1999, and as such has had nominal operating revenues. Further, the Company has no significant assets, no current earnings, nor any history of operations. The success of the Company is dependent upon the extent to which it will gain market share and commence with its planned principal operations. All financial information and financial projections and other assumptions made by the Company are speculative and, while based on management's best estimates of projected sales levels, operational costs, consumer preferences, and the general economic and competitive health of the Company in the Internet marketplace, there can be no assurance that the Company will operate profitably or remain solvent. Since October 19, 1999 (Inception) through March 31, 2001, the Company's accumulated losses have been a total of $433,255.00. Lack of Capital: The Company presently has limited operating capital and is and --------------- may not be sufficient to enable the Company to fully develop its business without additional capital raising activities. There can be no assurance that such capital raising activities will be available to the Company. The lack of capital may adversely affect the Company's ability to meet its objectives. Competition: Short-term and/or long-term competition may become intense once the ----------- Company launches its Internet business. Although the Company's financial projections assume that the industry will generate competition, there can be no assurances on how any level of competition may impact the financial forecasts and projections made by management. Some competitors may include large publicly funded companies. Some of these potential competitors have greater financial and business resources than the Company. The Company believes that it will be able to effectively compete with these larger entities but there can be no assurances that it will be able to do so. In order to compete with the larger companies, the Company must maintain prices that are lower than its competitors. There are no assurances the our competitors will maintain prices that are higher than the Company's prices. Need to Develop Technology: The Company currently licenses the Clickichat and -------------------------- Clickicall services from third parties. In order to compete in this marketplace, the Company must develop its own technology for such services. The Company is currently in the process of developing the Clickichat services. There are no assurances that the Company will be successful in developing this or any other technology. I-19 Need for Additional Financing: The lack of adequate funding may adversely affect ----------------------------- the Company's ability to meet its short-term objectives. The Company may require additional financing to expand its operations, maintain public awareness of its products/services and provide working capital for the anticipated growth of the Company. There can be no assurance that such financing will be available or, if available that the terms thereof will be attractive to the Company. The lack of additional financing may adversely affect the Company's ability to meet its objectives. Control of the Corporation; Conflicts of Interest: Management will have the ------------------------------------------------- right, assuming the ownership of the Company does not change, to perpetuate their status as officers and directors and therefore conduct the business and affairs of the Company. The terms of any employment agreements or other agreements between the Company and its officers were not the result of any arm's length bargaining or negotiation, and such transactions involve inherent conflicts of interest. There is no assurance that such transactions are or will be favorable to the Company due to the lack of arm's length bargaining. The board of directors, does however, believe that such agreements and arrangements are fair to the Company and its shareholders. The percentage of ownership by the Company's three officers and directors is as follows: Antonio Treminio owns a total of 907,499 (41.12%) of the outstanding common shares, Sylvio Martini owns a total of 330,000 (14.95%) common shares and Sean Kanov owns a total of 187,500 (8.50%) common shares. Therefore, the three officers and directors of the Company own a total of 1,424,999 (64.57%) common shares of the Company which allows them enough ownership interest to make all of the key decisions necessary to operate the Company. Minimal Historical Basis for Management's Opinion: The Company has a limited -------------------------------------------------- operating history. Accordingly, there is only a minimal basis, other than the judgment of management, upon which to estimate the volume of sales or the amount of revenues, which the Company's planned operations may generate. Management's judgment regarding these estimates is based, in part, upon research into the current state of the Internet marketplace. Although the financial projections have been compiled by management to reflect conservative results, subscribers for the Shares should be aware that conditions and circumstances beyond the control of management may result in substantial differences in the projected and actual financial results for the Company. I-20 Dependence on Key Personnel: The Company is dependent upon experienced --------------------------- management team, including its President and Chief Executive Officer, Antonio Treminio, its Chief Operating Officer, Sylvio Martini, and its Chief Financial Officer, Sean A. Kanov, CPA. The loss of any of their services could negatively impact the Company as there is a risk that their services could not be replaced. Without these services, the growth, progress, and overall success of the Company may be adversely affected. Need for Additional Management: We require additional management, middle ------------------------------- management and technical personnel. Our business is dependent on continued services of our key personnel, particularly, President and Chief Executive Officer, Antonio Treminio, its Chief Operating Officer, Sylvio Martini, and its Chief Financial Officer, Sean A. Kanov, CPA. However, in order to implement an expanded website program, we must hire additional management and middle management and technical personnel. We may be unable to retain our key employees or attract, assimilate or retain other highly qualified employees. There is significant competition for qualified employees in the computer programming and Internet industries. If we do not succeed in attracting new personnel or retaining and motivating our current personnel, our business will be adversely affected. Limited Liability of Management: The Company has adopted provisions to its ------------------------------- Articles of Incorporation and bylaws which limit the liability of its officers and directors and provide for indemnification by the Company of its officers and directors to the fullest extent permitted by Florida corporate law. Such law generally provides that its officers and directors shall have no personal liability to the Company or its shareholders for monetary damages for breaches of their fiduciary duties as directors, except for breaches of their duties of loyalty, acts or omissions not in good faith or which involve intentional misconduct or knowing violation of the law, acts involving unlawful payment of dividends or unlawful stock purchases or redemptions, or any transaction from which a director derives an improper personal benefit. Such provisions substantially limit the shareholders' ability to hold officers and directors liable for breaches of fiduciary duty, and may require the Company to indemnify its officers and directors. Losses/Third Party Participation: The Company expects to increase operating -------------------------------- expenses and incur losses in the foreseeable future. The Company will rely on the ability of third parties to properly brand and develop its marketing/advertising campaigns and structure e-commerce ventures and alliances. I-21 Company's Ability to Survive: Investors should note to Company's independent ---------------------------- accountant has expressed substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern and cautions the users of the Company's financial statements that these statements do not include any adjustment that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty because the Company is a development stage enterprise that has not commenced its planned principal operations. Furthermore, the "going concern" paragraph states that the Company's ability to continue is also dependent on its ability to, among other things, obtain additional debt and equity financing, identify customers, secure vendors and suppliers, and establish an infrastructure for its operations. Therefore, the Company must increase its operating expenses and that the Company will need to obtain additional funding necessary for the growth of the Company. Acquisition Related Risks: The Company intends, as part of its business strategy to acquire other businesses which are in the industry. Management is unable to predict whether or when any prospective acquisitions will occur or the likelihood of a material transaction being completed on favorable terms and conditions. The Company's ability to finance acquisitions may be constrained by, among other things, its ability to raise additional capital or obtain debt financing. Although the Company has no current plans to incur debt financing, the terms of any future debt financings may significantly limit the Company's ability to incur indebtedness in connection with other acquisitions. In addition, acquisitions of other companies commonly involve certain risks, including, among others: the difficulty of assimilating the acquired operations and personnel; the potential disruption of the Company's ongoing business and diversion of resources and management time; the possible inability of management to maintain uniform standards, controls, procedures and policies; the risks of entering markets in which the Company has little or no direct prior experience; and the potential impairment of relationships with employees or customers as a result of changes in management. There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to identify, acquire or profitably manage additional companies or successfully integrate the operations of additional companies into those of the Company without encountering significant delays, costs or other problems. The Company may compete for expansion and acquisition opportunities with other companies who may have greater financial and other resources than the Company. There can be no assurance that any acquisition will be made, that the Company will be able to obtain additional financing needed to finance such acquisitions and, if any acquisitions are so made, that the acquired business will be successfully integrated into the Company's operations or that the acquired business will perform as expected. The Company has no definitive agreement with respect to any acquisition, although from time to time it has discussions with other companies and assesses opportunities on an ongoing basis. I-22 The Company may also enter into joint venture transactions. These transactions present many of the same risks involved in acquisitions and may also involve the risk that other joint venture may have economic, business or legal interests or objectives that are inconsistent with those of the Company. Joint ventures may also be unable to meet their economic or other obligations, thereby forcing the Company to fulfill these obligations. Government Regulation: --------------------- The Company's services are subject to significant regulation at the federal, state and local levels. Delays in receiving required regulatory approvals or the enactment of new adverse regulation or regulatory requirements may have a material adverse effect upon the Company. Government regulation and legal uncertainties could add additional costs to doing business on the Internet. There are currently few laws or regulations that specifically regulate communications or commerce on the Internet. However, laws and regulations may be adopted in the future that address issues such as user privacy, pricing and the characteristics and quality of products and services. For example, the Telecommunications Act of 1996 sought to prohibit transmitting various types of information and content over the Internet. Several telecommunications companies have petitioned the Federal Communications Commission to regulate Internet service providers and on- line service providers in a manner similar to long distance telephone carriers and to impose access fees on those companies. This could increase the cost of transmitting data over the Internet. Moreover, it may take years to determine the extent to which existing laws relating to issues such as intellectual property ownership, libel and personal privacy are applicable to the Internet. Any new laws or regulations relating to the Internet or any new interpretations of existing laws could adversely affect our business. Competition: ----------- Because of our small size, we may have difficulty in competing with major computer, software and Internet companies. All aspects of the Internet market are new, rapidly evolving and intensely competitive, and we expect competition to intensify in the future. Barriers to entry are low, and current and new competitors can easily launch new websites at a relatively low cost using I-23 commercially- available software. Our present competitors include nationally-known companies, that have expertise in computer and Internet technology, and a number of other small companies, including those that serve specialty markets. Other major companies have the financial and technical ability to compete aggressively in the market for three- dimensional software products on the Internet. Many, if not all, of these companies have longer operating histories, larger customer bases, greater brand recognition in other business and Internet markets and significantly greater financial, marketing, technical and other resources than we have. Competitive pressures created by any one of these companies, or by our competitors collectively, could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition, and we can give no assurance that we will be able to compete successfully against current and future competitors. We may be unable to respond to the rapid technological change in our industry. The computer and Internet industries are characterized by rapidly changing technologies, frequent new product and service introductions and evolving industry standards. The recent growth of the Internet and intense competition in our industry make these market characteristics more pronounced. Our future success will depend on our ability to adapt to rapidly changing technologies by continually improving the performance features and reliability of our services. We may experience difficulties that could delay or prevent the successful development, introduction or marketing of new products and services. In addition, any enhancements must meet the requirements of our current and prospective users and must achieve significant market acceptance. We could also incur substantial costs if we need to modify our service or infrastructures to adapt to these changes. The failure to offer the most current technologies could have a material adverse effect upon our business. Furthermore, if three-dimensional Internet standards evolve in a manner which is incompatible with out technology, we may not be able to market our technology. We cannot insure that we can provide our users with a secure environment. Our website is vulnerable to physical or electronic break-ins, viruses or other problems that affect websites and Internet communication and commerce generally. As e-commerce becomes more prevalent, our customers may become more concerned about security. Although we believe that we can implement reasonable security precautions, security systems can and are sometimes circumvented. The circumvention of our security measures may result in the misappropriation of proprietary information, such as credit card information, or interruptions of our operations. Any security breaches could damage our reputation and expose us to a risk of loss or liability. We may be required to make significant investments in our efforts to protect against and to remedy security breaches. Our failure to address security concerns adequately could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition and operating results. I-24 Item 2. Management Discussion and Analysis and Plan of Operation ----------------------------------------------------------------
January 1, October 19, October 19, 2000 (Inception) (Inception) through through through December December December 31, 2000 31, 1999 31, 2000 ----------------------------------------------------- Development Stage Revenues $ 7,162 $ - $ 7,162 Development Stage Expenses (379,127) (35,138) (414,265) ----------------------------------------------------- Deficit Accumulated During Development Stage $ (371,965) (35,138) $(407,103)
The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with the financial statements of the Company and the accompanying notes appearing subsequently under the caption "Financial Statements." The following discussion and analysis contains forward-looking statements, which involve risks and uncertainties. The Company's actual results may differ significantly from the results, expectations and plans discussed in these forward-looking statements. During the past fourteen months, the Company has spent considerable time and capital resources defining and developing its strategic plan for delivering and operating its real-time interactive e-commerce technology. Plan of Operation -------------------- StartCall will manage the marketing launch of its services from its office in Miami where it currently manages the administration and coordination for all of its other activities. Such responsibilities include the installation of the ClickiCall and ClickiChat services to business' websites, technical support, daily bookkeeping and scheduling of employee responsibilities. The installation of the ClickiChat service is automated and therefore businesses that are interested in adding our ClickiChat service can simply fill out an online sign up page. The Company's system will automatically, within 60 to 120 seconds, send back to the new register user an account number, login name and password with all instructions in order to set-up their ClickiChat account. Please visit our sign up page at: www.liveinternethelp.com/signup.htm I-25 The installation of the ClickiCall also requires interested parties to sign up an online form. Once the Company receives the order it takes approximately 24 hours to get back to its customers with all necessary information in order for them to install this service onto their Web site. The Company started offering its service ClickiChat on July 1st, 2000. The Company intends to continue its ongoing marketing campaign. Currently, the Company spends approximately $15,000 per month. In order to fund the Company, the officers and directors of the Company will continue making capital contributions to the Company for the next 6 (six) months. Startcall expects to start generating revenues as soon as December 2001 and estimates that it will have close to or over 1,000 paying customers by January 15th 2002. This is based on the trend of the ISP and Web hosting industry. Please note that there is no assurance that the size of this business will reflect the size of this Industry. At the minimum income per customer of $29.95, the Company should be generating sufficient funds to cover its current monthly expenses. The Company anticipates that it will continue adding new services to its service menu with any potential new services related to its market area. There are currently over 8,000 ISP and web-hosting companies in the United States. Even with the current troubles that have plagued the largest of these organizations, InformationWeek.com, Tech Search and USA Today believe that industry will continue to grow. The regional nature of their business usually creates a fixed customer base and margin sensitive business. StartCall intends to capitalize on these conditions by offering the ISP a simple, effective way to: 1) Add an additional revenue stream that is nearly risk free and extremely high margin; 2) Offer a set of services that allows them to differentiate themselves from the competition; and 3) Promote themselves as a business that cares about consumer privacy and control on the Internet. Because StartCall hosts ClickiChat/Support, ISPs will have no internal knowledge transfer or set-up costs. They simply sign-up as a partner, up-sell to their clients, and start receiving royalty checks. Another rapidly growing segment of the e-CRM market is web-based customer interaction ("WCI"). The WCI market is built upon the premise that relationships, by their very nature, require a two-way communication. WCI focuses on translating the traditional web based experience of a human interacting with a computer into a human interacting with a human over an electronic medium. WCI software sales are expected to reach $1.8 billion by 2004. I-26 If customers cannot get immediate support and care, they often seek alternative purchase selections. Integrated customer service via chat has proven to reduce abandoned shopping carts anywhere from 20-50%. Many companies offer web chat products, including LivePerson, Cisco, CS-Live, RightNow, and FaceTime. However, in today's environment only 8% of e-commerce sites provide some form of online interaction, even though more than 90% of online shoppers would like it to be available while they shop online. StartCall believes that this market is going to experience rapid expansion over the next two years. The Company does not foresee purchasing any major equipment or changes on the number of employees for the next 6 months. The Company feels that once it reaches approximately 10,000 customers, new positions will be available in the areas of customer service, marketing and business development. The Company anticipates that it will raise additional funding once it reaches 5,000 customers within the next twelve (12) months. Development Stage Revenues -------------------------- The Company's operations have been devoted primarily to designing its business and marketing plans and building an infrastructure. The ability of the Company to achieve its business objectives is contingent upon its success in raising additional capital until adequate revenues are realized from operations. The source of the Company's revenues in January 1, 2000 to December 31, 2000 primarily consisted of miscellaneous consulting projects performed during the period. Development Stage Expenses -------------------------- Development stage expenses during the fourteen-month period primarily consisted of accounting, legal, consulting, other professional fees, internet charges, office expenses and other related operating expenses which are necessitated by operating in a public environment. In addition, included in development stage expenses are marketing and promotional expenses that consist of costs incurred in connection with raising capital and promoting the Company. At this time, the percentage that the Company spends in research is less than 10% of its total expenses. Ongoing increases to development stage expenses are anticipated during the year 2001. I-27 Liquidity and Capital Resources ------------------------------- Despite capital contributions and related party loans, the Company from time to time experienced cash flow shortages that have slowed the Company's growth. The Company has primarily financed its activities from sales of capital stock of the Company under a private placement offering that is further disclosed in the financial statements. In addition, the Company obtained financing from loans from certain shareholders. The terms of these are further disclosed in the notes to the financial statements. A significant portion of the funds raised from the sale of capital stock has been used to cover working capital needs such as office expenses and various consulting and professional fees. During 2000, the consequences of those cash flow shortages has been an increase of accrued expenses and stockholder loans bringing those amounts to approximately $66,000 and $78,000, respectively. The stockholder loans begin accruing interest on June 1, 2000 at 8% per annum. Principal and interest are due on August 30, 2002. The Company has primarily financed its activities from sales of capital stock of the Company and from loans from its shareholders. A significant portion of the funds raised from the sale of capital stock has been used to cover working capital needs such as office expenses and various consulting and professional fees. The Company intends to start earning revenue approximately 30 days after it official launch its services on June 1st, 2001. Initially, the Company will have its Strategic Marketing Alliances start sending email to their customers about the Company's services and will offer them a 30-day FREE Trial of our ClickiChat service. These strategic marketing alliances will also add the Company's services in their list of menus and the Company will start making presentations to its local businesses and over the Internet, trade shows etc. The Company continues to experience cash flow shortages, and anticipates this continuing through the foreseeable future. Management believes that additional funding will be necessary in order for it to continue as a going concern. The Company is investigating several forms of private debt and equity financing, although there can be no assurances that the Company will be successful in procuring such financing or that it will be available on terms acceptable to the Company. I-28 Item 3. Description of Property. --------------------------------- The Company has a lease to rent 1,049 square feet of office space located at 719 5th Street, Miami Beach, Florida 33139. The Company pays $2,075 per for the space. The lease expires on November 30, 2002 and the Company has an option to renew the lease for an additional 2 years. Item 4.

Description of Securities. ---------------------------------- Qualification. The following statements constitute brief summaries of our Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws, as amended. Such summaries do not purport to be complete and are qualified in their entirety by reference to the full text of our Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws. Common Stock. Our Articles of Incorporation authorize us to issue up to 50,000,000 Common Shares, $0.000666 par value per common share and no Preferred Shares. As of March 1, 2001, there are 2,207,450 shares of our common stock outstanding. All outstanding Common Shares are legally issued, fully paid and non-assessable. Liquidation Rights. Upon our liquidation or dissolution, each outstanding Common Share will be entitled to share equally in our assets legally available for distribution to shareholders after the payment of all debts and other liabilities. Dividend Rights. We do not have limitations or restrictions upon the rights of our Board of Directors to declare dividends, and we may pay dividends on our shares of stock in cash, property, or our own shares, except when we are insolvent or when the payment thereof would render us insolvent subject to the provisions of the Delaware Statutes. We have not paid dividends to date, and we do not anticipate that we will pay any dividends in the foreseeable future. I-33 Voting Rights. Holders of our Common Shares are entitled to cast one vote for each share held of record at all shareholders meetings for all purposes. Other Rights. Common Shares are not redeemable, have no conversion rights and carry no preemptive or other rights to subscribe to or purchase additional Common Shares in the event of a subsequent offering. There are no other material rights of the common not included herein. There is no provision in our charter or by- laws that would delay, defer or prevent a change in control of us. We have not issued debt securities. I-34 PART II Item 1. Market Price of and Dividends on the Registrant's Common Equity and Related Stockholder Matters. ---------------------------------------------------------- There is no established public trading market for our securities. After the Securities and Exchange Commission declares this document effective, we intend to seek a listing on the OTC Electronic Bulletin Board in the United States. Our shares cannot trade on the OTC Bulletin Board until all SEC comments relating to this Form 10-SB have been resolved. Our shares are not and have not been listed or quoted on any exchange or quotation system. As of March 1, 2001, there were 2,207,450 shares of our common stock issued and outstanding. We have never paid dividends on our shares. We currently intend to retain earnings for use in our business and do not anticipate paying any dividends in the foreseeable future. As of the date of this registration, we have 42 holders of record of our common stock. We currently have one class of common stock outstanding. Certain securities herein are restricted securities as defined under Rule 144 of the Securities Act of 1933 and may only be sold under Rule 144 or otherwise under an effective registration statement or an exemption from registration, if available. Rule 144 generally provides that a person who has satisfied a one-year holding period for the restricted securities and is not an affiliate of us may sell such securities subject to the Rule 144 provisions. Under Rule 144, directors, executive officers, and persons or entities they control or who control them may sell shares that have satisfied the one year holding period for the restricted securities in an amount limited to, in any three-month period, the greater of 1% of our outstanding shares of common stock or the average of the weekly trading volume in our common stock during the four calendar weeks preceding a sale. All sales under Rule 144 must also be made without violating the manner-of-sale provisions, notice requirements, and the availability of public information about us. A sale of shares by such security holders, whether under Rule 144 or otherwise, may have a depressing effect upon the price of our common stock in any market that might develop. As of May 15, 2001, the three shareholders that have restricted stock can sell their shares in accordance with and subject to the resale restrictions of Rule 144. Therefore pursuant to Rule 144, each of these shareholders can sell 22,074 shares (1% of the outstanding shares-2,207,450) within a ninety day period. II-1 Penny Stock Considerations. Broker-dealer practices in connection with transactions in "penny stocks" are regulated by certain penny stock rules adopted by the Securities and Exchange Commission. Penny stocks generally are equity securities with a price of less than $5.00. Penny stock rules require a broker-dealer, prior to a transaction in a penny stock not otherwise exempt from the rules, to deliver a standardized risk disclosure document that provides information about penny stocks and the risks in the penny stock market. The broker-dealer also must provide the customer with current bid and offer quotations for the penny stock, the compensation of the broker-dealer and its salesperson in the transaction, and monthly account statements showing the market value of each penny stock held in the customer's account. In addition, the penny stock rules generally require that prior to a transaction in a penny stock, the broker-dealer make a special written determination that the penny stock is a suitable investment for the purchaser and receive the purchaser's written agreement to the transaction. These disclosure requirements may have the effect of reducing the level of trading activity in the secondary market for a stock that becomes subject to the penny stock rules. Our shares will likely be subject to such penny stock rules, and our shareholders will, in all likelihood, find it difficult to sell their securities. No market exists for our securities and there is no assurance that a regular trading market will develop, or if developed will be sustained. A shareholder, in all likelihood, therefore, will not be able to resell the securities referred to herein should he or she desire to do so. Furthermore, it is unlikely that a lending institution will accept our securities as pledged collateral for loans unless a regular trading market develops. There are no plans, proposals, arrangements or understandings with any person in regard to the development of a trading market in any of our securities. Item 2. Legal Proceedings. -------------------------- We are not a party to any pending legal proceeding, and we are not aware of any contemplated legal proceeding by a governmental authority involving us. Item 3. Changes in and Disagreements with Accountants. ------------------------------------------------------- During the two most recent fiscal years and the subsequent interim period, we have had no disagreement, resignation or dismissal of the principal independent accountant for the Company. Our accountant at this time is Jewett, Schwartz & Associates, 2514 Hollywood Blvd., Suite 508, Hollywood Florida 33020. Our previous accountant was The DeCarlo Group, 1101 Brickell Avenue, PO Box 310115, Miami, Florida 33231. Larry Wolfe, CPA, of Jewett, Schwartz & Associates was the associate at The DeCarlo Group who prepared the audited financials statements II-2 for the Company and Mr. Wolfe and Jewett, Schwartz & Associates have assumed the accuracy of the audited financial statements. Item 4. Recent Sales of Unregistered Securities. ------------------------------------------------- The following sets forth information relating to all of our previous sales of securities, which were not registered under the Securities Act of 1933. StartCall.com, Inc. was incorporated in the State of Florida formed in October, 1999 under the name Click and Call Corporation. On June 5, 2000 the Company filed a Certificate of Amendment with the Secretary of State of Florida changing the name of the Company to StartCall.com, Inc. and at that time restricted common shares were issued to the following officers of the Company for services rendered to the Company: Antonio Treminio-907,449 shares; Sylvio Martini-330,000 shares; and Sean Kanov-187,500 shares. Such shares were issued to these founders in reliance on the exemption under Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Act"). Such shares met the requirements for this exemption since these officers of the Company were qualified in terms of financial sophistication and had access to material information about the Company. In July, 2000, the Company filed a Form U-7 with the Nevada Securities Division pursuant to the Rule 504 exemption under Regulation D of the Securities Act of 1933. On October 26, 2000, the Company received a Notice of Effectiveness from the State of Nevada confirming that the Form U-7 was effective in the State of Nevada as of October 20, 2000. Thereafter, in November 2000, we completed the offering pursuant to the Rule 504 exemption promulgated under Regulation D of the 1933 Securities Act in compliance with Rule 90.403 of the Nevada Revised Statutes. Pursuant to this offering, the Company issued a total of 707,500 shares of our common stock at a price of $.40 per share to the following 39 shareholders for an aggregate offering price of $283,000. The following sets forth the identity of the class of persons to whom Startcall sold these shares and the amount of shares for each shareholder: John Cathro Jr. 2,500 Robert J. Kolesar Jr. 5,000 John and Dawn Straus 2,500 James J. Bounce 2,500 Valerie Pine 5,000 Rivka Paris 2,500 Philip Davis 5,000 Sandra L. Othick 12,500 Rolland R. Othick 25,000 Ted Weisman 2,500 Philip Weisman 2,500 Max Gray 5,000 Carolyn F. Hamilton 5,000 Peter Ventrella 5,000 Ben Spano 25,000 Michael Becker 5,000 Michael Minetti 5,000 Carol A. Skarda 12,500 II-3 Danny T. Skarda 12,500 Nancy L. Erwin 12,500 James C. Thompson 12,500 Mohit Ramchand 5,000 Ryan O. Skarda 12,500 Denny R. Mason 275,000 Matthew B. Othick 25,000 Russell W. Hamilton Jr. 5,000 Russell W. Hamilton Sr. 5,000 Joey Whitacre 5,000 Steven Cyr 2,500 Marco Semeraro 2,500 Susan Davis 5,000 Anthony Testolin 5,000 Jerry Buzz Horden 2,500 Lynne David 5,000 Frederic David 5,000 Vanessa Nix 5,000 John N. and Phyllis Pedote 5,000 Gerald L. Erwin 12,500 John and Robin Wolslegel 7,500 The Common Stock issued in the Company's Regulation D, Rule 504 offering was issued in a transaction not involving a public offering in reliance upon an exemption from registration provided by Rule 504 of Regulation D promulgated under the Act. In accordance with Section 230.504 (b)(1) of the Securities Act of 1933, these shares qualified for exemption under the Rule 504 exemption for this offerings since it met the following requirements set forth in Reg. Section 230.504: (A) No general solicitation or advertising was conducted by the Company in connection with the offering of any of the Shares. (B) At the time of the offering the Company was not: (1) subject to the reporting requirements of Section 13 or 15 (d) of the Exchange Act; or (2) an "investment company" within the meaning of the federal securities laws. (3) a development stage company that either has no specific business plan or purpose or has indicated that its business plan is to engage in a merger or acquisition with an unidentified company or companies, or other entity or person. II-4 (C) Neither the Company, nor any predecessor of the Company, nor any director of the Company, nor any beneficial owner of 10% or more of any class of the Company's equity securities, nor any promoter currently connected with the Company in any capacity has been convicted within the past ten years of any felony in connection with the purchase or sale of any security. (D) The offers and sales of securities by the Company pursuant to the offerings were not attempts to evade any registration or resale requirements of the securities laws of the United States or any of its states. (E) None of the investors are affiliated with any director, officer or promoter of the Company or any beneficial owner of 10% or more of the Company's securities. (F) The aggregate offering price did not exceed $1,000,000, less the aggregate offering price for all securities sold within the twelve months. (G) The Company has complied with the requirements of Rule 504 of Regulation D promulgated pursuant to the Act and of applicable state exemptions from registration in the offers and sales by the Company of its securities in these offerings. In accordance with Section 230.504 (b)(1) of the Act, these shares were designated as unrestricted since they qualified for exemption under Section 230.504 since such transactions satisfy the terms and conditions of Sections 230.501 and 230.502 (a) of the Act since such offering was registered in the State of Nevada without violation of any Federal or state securities law or regulation. We have never utilized an underwriter for an offering of our securities. Other than the securities mentioned above, we have not issued or sold any securities. II-5 Item 5. Indemnification of Directors and Officers. -------------------------------------------------- Our Articles of Incorporation provide that, to the fullest extent permitted by law, none of our directors or officers shall be personally liable to us or our shareholders for damages for breach of any duty owed to our shareholders or us. In addition, we shall have the power, by our by-laws or in any resolution of our stockholders or directors, to undertake to indemnify the officers and directors of ours against any contingency or peril as may be determined to be in our best interest and in conjunction therewith, to procure, at our expense, policies of insurance.

F-1 REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS To the Board of Directors and Stockholders Startcall.com, Inc. Miami, FL We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of Startcall.com, Inc. (A Development Stage Enterprise) (the "Company") as of December 31, 2000 and December 31, 1999, and the related statements of operations, changes in stockholders' (deficiency) equity, and cash flows for the periods January 1, 2000 through December 31, 2000, October 19, 1999 (Date of Inception) through December 31, 1999 and Inception through December 31, 2000. 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 have 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 and 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 Startcall.com, Inc. as of December 31, 2000 and December 31, 1999, and the results of its operations and its cash flow for the periods then ended in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles. The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note A to the financial statements, the Company is a development stage enterprise that has not commenced its planned principal operations and is reporting accumulated losses since inception totaling approximately $407,000. Accordingly, the Company's ability to continue as a going concern is dependent on its ability to, among other things, obtain additional debt and equity financing, identify customers and secure vendors and suppliers, and establish an infrastructure for its planned operation. Management's plans in regard to these matters are also described in Note A. These financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty. /s/ Jewett, Schwartz & Associates February 19, 2001 Hollywood, FL F-2 STARTCALL.COM, INC.

See accompanying report of independent accountants and notes to financial statements. F-6 STARTCALL.COM, INC. (A Development State Enterprise) NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS NOTE A--SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES Summarized below are the significant accounting policies of STARTCALL.COM, INC. The Company: STARTCALL.COM, INC. (the "Company"), incorporated in the State of ----------- Florida effective October 19, 1999 (Date of Inception), established its corporate offices in Miami, Florida. On June 7, 2000, the Company filed an amendment to the Articles of Incorporation effecting a name change to STARTCALL.COM, INC., and changed its capital structure as disclosed in Note G to these financial statements. Because the Company meets the criteria of a development stage enterprise, as discussed more fully below, these financial statements are presented in accordance with Statements of the Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") Number 7, "Accounting and Reporting by Development Stage Enterprises". Nature of the Business: The Company plans on operating as ----------------------- an Application Service Provider, or ASP, and offering real- time interaction technology as an outsource service. Management is in the process of establishing a viable solution to real-time access to commerce business over the Internet. The Company plans to offer these businesses the opportunity to improve their online customer care service capabilities by placing an internet voice box and a Text Chat button with a URL push feature on the websites of some of these potential domestic and international business customers. These tools should not only provide the visitors and customers of a particular website live help at the crucial point of purchase, but they should also facilitate other types of needed assistance. Development Stage Enterprise: The Company is currently ----------------------------- devoting substantially all of its efforts to establishing a new business and its planned principle operations have not commenced as of December 31, 2000. In their efforts to establish a new business, management is commencing with design of its business and marketing plans that include the following: preparation of a financial plan, cash forecast and operating budget; identifying markets to raise additional equity capital and debt financing; embarking on research and development activities; performing employment searches, recruiting and hiring technicians and management and industry specialists; acquiring operational and technological assets; and, developing market and distribution strategies. General and administrative expenses include professional fees, internet service charges, and other related operating expenses. Marketing and promotional expenses include costs incurred in connection with raising capital and promoting the Company. F-7 NOTE A--SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES-- Continued Research and Development Costs: Generally accepted accounting principles state that costs that provide no discernible future benefits, or allocating costs on the basis of association with revenues or among several accounting periods that serve no useful purpose, should be charged to expense in the period occurred. Since the Company is in its development state, SFAS No. 2 "Accounting for Research and Development Costs" requires that certain costs be charged to current operations including, but not limited to: salaries and benefits; contract labor; consulting and professional fees; depreciation; repairs and maintenance on operational assets used in the production of prototypes; testing and modifying product and service capabilities and design; and, other similar costs. Basis of Presentation: In accordance with SFAS No.7, the Company's policy --------------------- regarding the preparation of these financial statements includes the presenting, in addition to its statements of operations, changes in stockholders' (deficiency) equity and cash flows, the cumulative amounts of revenues and expenses, stockholder equity transactions and cash flows since Inception through December 31, 2000. The Company's independent accountants are including a "going concern" paragraph in their audit report accompanying these financial statements that cautions the uses of the Company's financial statements that these statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty because the Company is a development stage enterprise that has not commenced its planned principal operations. Furthermore, the "going concern" paragraph states that the Company's ability to continue is also dependent on its ability to, among other things, obtain additional debt and equity financing, identify customers, secure vendors and suppliers, and establish an infrastructure for its operations. Even though the Company has not commenced planned principle operations or generated revenues from prospective customers nor has it secured the funding necessary to meet its current working capital needs, management believes that, despite the extent of the financial requirements and funding uncertainties going forward, it has under development a business plan that, if successfully funded and executed as in integral part of a financial structuring, the Company can overcome the concerns of the independent accountants within the next twelve months. F-8 NOTE A--SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES-- Continued Management continues to actively seek various sources and methods of short and long-term financing and support; however, there can be no assurances that some or all of the necessary financing can be obtained. Because of the nature and extent of the uncertainties, many of which are outside the control of the Company, there can be no assurances that the Company will be able to ultimately consummate planned principal operations or secure the necessary financing. Start-up Costs: Cost incurred in connection with commencing operations, --------------- including general and administrative expenses, are charged to operations in the period incurred. Revenue Recognition: The Company recognizes revenues upon the delivery of a -------------------- product or service. Installation, maintenance and service fees paid in advance by customers are initially recorded as deferred revenues and subsequently amortized over the life of their respective contract periods, except in those instances whereby the contracts contain forfeiture and/or nonrefundable fee provisions. Accordingly, in those instances, revenue is earned upon receipt. Property and Equipment: Property and equipment are stated ----------------------- at cost. Depreciation and amortization are provided in amounts sufficient to relate the cost of depreciable assets to operations over their estimated service lives. When applicable, leasehold improvements and capital leases are amortized over the lives of respective leases, or the service lives of the improvements, whichever is less. The straight-line method of depreciation is used for financial reporting purposes. The estimated useful lives, of property and equipment, are as follows: YEARS Computer equipment, peripherals and software 2-3 Office equipment 3-5 Furniture and fixtures 5-7 F-9 NOTE A--SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES-- Continued Expenditures for renewals and improvements that significantly extend the useful life of an asset are capitalized. The costs of software used in the business operations are capitalized and amortized over their expected useful lives. Expenditures for maintenance and repairs are charged to operations when incurred. When assets are sold or retired, the cost of the asset and the related accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts and any gain or loss is recognized at such time. Earnings Per Common Share: In calculating earnings per -------------------------- common share, basic earnings per share is computed by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding, excluding the diluted effects of stock options. Use of Estimates: In preparing financial statements in conformity with generally ----------------- accepted accounting principles, management is required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and revenues and expenditures during the reported periods. Actual results could differ materially from those estimates. Estimates may include, but not be limited to, those pertaining to the estimated useful lives of property and equipment and software, determining the estimated net realizable value of receivables, and the realization of deferred tax assets. Stock-Based Compensation: The Company will account for -------------------------- stock-based compensation using the intrinsic vale method prescribed in Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, "Accounting for Stork Issued to Employees". Compensation costs for stock options, if any, is measured as the excess of the quoted market price of the Company's stock at the date of grant over the amount the employee must pay to acquire the stock. Restricted stock is recorded as compensation costs over the requisite vesting periods based on the market value on the date of grant. Compensation costs for shares issued under performance share plans are recorded based upon the current market value of the Company's stock at the end of each period. Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation", established accounting and disclosure requirements using a fair-value- based method of accounting for stock-based employee compensation plans. The Company is electing to use APB Opinion No. 25 as its method of accounting and is adopting the disclosure requirements of SFAS No. 123. F-10 NOTE A--SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES-- Continued The fair value of each option grant is to be estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model and certain weighted-average assumptions. Risks and Uncertainties: Management regularly evaluates risks and uncertainties ------------------------ and, when probable that a loss or expense will be incurred, a charge to current period operations is recorded. Even though the Company does not have sufficient assets and liquidity, the Company's management has elected to self- insure the Company against losses, if any, that might be otherwise insurable if the Company maintained business insurance including; business interruption; property, wind and flood; general and automobile liability; errors and omissions; and, officers and directors coverage. From inception through December 31, 2000, management is not aware of any event, transaction or matter that requires disclosure and/or adjustment to these financial statements with respect to uninsured losses, except as many otherwise be disclosed in these footnotes. However, because of the current financial condition of the Company, should any uninsured claim or loss occur, the ability of the Company to continue might be adversely effected. Additionally, the Company has agreed, as set forth in it's By-Laws, to indemnify to the fullest extent permitted or authorized by current or future legislation, judicial or administrative decision, all past and present employees, agents, directors, officers and representatives against any fine, liability, cost or expense asserted against them or incurred by them in the above capacities. Because of the rapid evolution of the industry in which the Company operates, its ability to operate may be adversely effected by future changes in Federal and state regulations. Income Taxes: On December 29, 1999, the stockholders holding a majority of the ------------- shares of the Company's issued and outstanding shares voted to terminate its S-election with the Internal Revenue Service, with an effective date retroactive to October 19, 1999. The Company recognizes deferred tax assets and liabilities based on differences between the financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities using the enacted tax rates and laws that are expected to be recovered. The Company provides a valuation allowance for deferred tax assets for which it does not consider realization of such assets to be more likely than not. F-11 NOTE B--OFFERING MEMORANDUM The Company filed a Form U-7 SCOR Offering Memorandum, on July 26, 2000, under Regulation D promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. However, this share offering was not registered under the 1933 Act, or the securities laws of any state. The Offering was made available for sale in Nevada and, in order to meet the conditions for exemption from the registration requirements under the securities laws of certain jurisdictions, accredited investors who are residents of such jurisdiction will be required to meet certain suitability requirements. The Company planned on offering a maximum of 706,750 shares of the Company's $.000666 par value common stock at an offering price of $.40 per share. However, the actual amount of shares sold was 707,500. The issuance of these shares has a dilutive effect on the book value per share of the Company's common stock. The total amount of gross proceeds realized on the Offering totaled $283,000. This Offering was made on an "all-or-none basis" utilizing subscription agreements containing the applicable terms, conditions and requirements; there are no underwriters; and, the Company was required to maintain on deposit with an escrow agent the proceeds from the Offering equaling twenty- five (25%) percent of the total gross proceeds until all of the securities under this Offering are sold.

NOTE G-- STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY The Articles of Incorporation, initially filed with the State of Florida, authorize only one class of stock: 1000 shares of one ($1,00) dollar par value common stock. The holders of these shares of common stock do not have cumulative voting rights. Shares are not issued until paid for in full. On June 7, 2000, the Board of Directors approved an amendment to the Articles of Incorporation, authorizing the Company to issue up to 50,000,000 shares of $.000666 par value common stock. On June 29, 2000, the 1000 previously issued and outstanding shares of the $1.00 par value common stock were tendered by each shareholder and canceled. In exchange for the tendered shares, on July 1, 2000 the Company issued 1,499,950 shares of its $.000666 par value stock that resulted in a dilution of the Company's book value per share. F-15 NOTE G-- STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY-Continued As more fully disclosed in Note B to these financial statements, the Offering Memorandum provides for the sale of an additional 707,500 shares of the Company's $.000666 par value common stock at a price of $.40 per share. NOTE H--COMMITMENTS Summarized below are certain contracts and agreements executed by the Company from October 19, 1999 (Inception) through December 31, 2000. License and Distribution Agreement and the End-User License Agreement: ----------------------------------------------------------- On October 19, 1999, the Company ("Licensee"), entered into a License and Distribution Agreement and an End-User License Agreement, herein collectively referred to as the "License Agreement" with and unrelated third party ("Licensor"). The Licensor grants the Licensee a perpetual, nonexclusive, non-transferable license to use certain software solely for the Licensee's business purpose, without further re-selling or distribution, except the Licensee may duplicate and distribute the software to end-user customers. The Licensee may also use the Licensor's trade names and trademarks. The media containing the software is subject to a 90-day warranty, but the Licensor does not warrant its software. The fee structure associated with this agreement is disclosed in the Distribution Partner Agreement described below. Distribution Partner Agreement: On June 14, 2000, the ------------------------------- Company executed a Distribution Partnership Agreement (the "Distribution Agreement") with the unrelated third party Licensor. The Distribution Agreement provides that the Company distribute to its customers, the Licensor's web-to- phone Internet telephony and multimedia services. The Company, at its expense, is responsible for providing the first level of technical support to its customers relating to the use of the Licensor's software and services, subject to the terms of the Licensor's standard support agreement and, the License and Distribution Agreement and the End-User License Agreement, disclosed in the preceding paragraph of these financial statements. The Licensor has agreed to provide the second level of technical support to the Company's customers, subject to the terms of its standard support agreement. The Distribution Agreement sets forth a combination of one or more of the following fee structures: (a) Session Pricing--Connection costs per "customer session" subject to various volume levels; (b) Minimum Volume Commitments-- Twelve (12) non-refundable minimum monthly payments by the Company of one thousand ($1,000.00) dollars to be applied to the first one thousand of monthly charges with no carryover if the minimum is not met. The entire amount of twelve thousand ($12,000) dollars is payable F-16 NOTE H-COMMITMENTS--continued in advance upon execution of the Distribution Agreement; (c) Programming Fees--The Company is subject to a fifty ($50) dollar one-time "start-up" fee per customer. The Distribution Agreements are for a one (1) year term and are subject to automatic one-year renewals unless terminated by either party with thirty (30) days written notice prior to the expiration of the then-effective term. The $12,000 fee was paid in June 2000. At December 31, 2000 the unexpensed portion of this fee is included in prepaid expenses. The Distribution Agreements may also be terminated by either party with seven (7) days prior written notice in the event of an occurrence of certain defined events, including a material breach of the terms and conditions therein. Dealer/Promoter Agreements: During 2000, the Company executed various --------------------------- non-exclusive agreements whereby these independent contractors agree to use their best efforts to cause end-users to purchase the Company's services. During the terms of these Agreements, the Company has agreed to pay the Dealer/Promoters a commission in accordance with the established schedules, as more fully described in each of the duly executed original service agreements. These Agreements expire under various criteria ranging from the earlier of six (6) to twelve (12) months, or the sale of two (2000) to five (5,000) thousand accounts of ClickIChat and/or ClickICall services. The Agreements are renewable under certain conditions and may be canceled by either party with thirty (30) days advance written notice. The Agreements, among other things, set forth certain performance, compensation and charge-back provisions as follows: CLICKICHAT SERVICE: (a) Performance Standards- - The Dealer/Promoters must sell Chat Licenses at a minimum standard price per month based on sessions, plus the installations fees, and at the defined minimum sales levels for the number of new subscribers and billing revenues; (b) Compensation- - The Dealer/Promoters will be paid commissions ranging between fifteen (15%) and twenty (20%) percent of the total sales they generate and an additional thirty-three and one-third (33 1/3%) percent of the installation fees when the sales are deemed "qualified" under the terms of these Agreements. CLICKICALL SERVICE: (a) Compensation --The Dealer/Promoters will be paid commissions ranging between fifteen (15%) and twenty (20%) percent of the total sales they generate and an additional thirty-three and one-third (33 1/3%) percent of the installation fees when the sales are deemed "qualified" under the terms of F-17 NOTE H--COMMITMENTS-Continued these Agreements. (b) Duration--The compensation schedules are in effect the earlier that a certain number of accounts are sold or the expiration of the stated contract periods, at which time the parties agree to renegotiate the various fee provisions. The Company may charge-back the Dealer/Promoters for uncollectible accounts of customers, but only to the extent of the amount of subsequent fees earned by the Dealer/Promoters. One agreement requires the Company to maintain a prepaid commission balance of $25,000, included in prepaid assets, to offset against the dealer's share of revenues. The Company is required to pay an additional deposit upon the sooner of acquiring 1000 customers or reaching a zero balance. Employment Agreements: Effective July 1, 2000, the Company extended three-year employment agreements to two of its officers, who are also stockholders of the Company. These agreements, among other things, contain certain provisions relating: nondisclosure and development; protecting licensed materials; non-compete and non-solicitation restrictions. The annual compensation for one officer totals $120,000, $180,000 and $195,000 and the other totals $85,000, $140,000 and $195,000 for each of the twelve (12) month periods ending June 30, 2002, 2003 and 2004, respectively, or upon the Company commencing operations, whichever is sooner. Lease Agreement: The Company conducts its operations from facilities that are ---------------- leased under a two-year lease agreement expiring on September 14, 2002. There is an option to renew for an additional two years at an increased monthly rental. Under the lease agreement the Company is subject to additional charges related to their proportionate of operating expenses as well as maintaining minimum levels of insurance coverage. F-18 NOTE H--COMMITMENTS-Continued Future minimum lease payments required under this lease as of December 31, 2000 are as follows:
Year ---- 2001 $23,550 2002 18,000 ---------- Total minimum lease payments $41,550 ----------
Rent expense was $6,829 and $33,775 and $40,604 for the periods October 19, 1999 (inception) through December 31, 1999, the year ended December 31, 2000, and for the period October 19, 1999 (Inception) through December 31, 2000, respectively. Stock Compensation Plans: On December 29, 1999, the Board ------------------------- of Directors approved the adopting of three stock option plans that will provide for the granting of stock options to officers and key employees. The objectives of these plans include attracting and retaining the quality personnel, providing for additional performance incentives, and promoting the success of the Company by providing employees the opportunity to acquire the common stock of the Company. In connection with these plans, the Company is authorized to grant options up to 714,285 shares. Options to be granted under these plans will be at prices, which are either equal to or above the market value of the stock on the date of grant, vest over two-, three-and four-year periods, and expire ten years after the grant dates. The Company will account for stock-based compensation using the intrinsic value method prescribed by Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, "Accounting for Stock Issues to Employees", under which no compensation cost for stock options is recognized for stock option awards granted at or above fair market value. If the compensation expense for the Company's three stock-based plans are determined based No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation", the Company's net earnings and upon fair values at the grant dates for awards under these plans in accordance with SFAS earnings per share will be reduced to pro forma amounts to be disclosed in the financial statements for the applicable periods. As of December 31, 2000, the Company has not granted any stock options or rights. F-19 NOTE I--CONTINGENCIES Going Concern: As discussed previously in Note A to these financial statements, -------------- uncertainties exist with respect to the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. Lack of Insurance: As previously discussed in these financial statements, the ------------------ Company does not maintain any insurance coverage and the Company therefore, is in violation of certain agreements. Upon receipt of the net proceeds, if any, from the Offering Memorandum discussed in Note B to these financial statements, management intends to secure the necessary insurance coverage. No estimates have been made as to the amounts that may be required should an unexpected loss occur and, accordingly, no accruals have been made in these financial statement for self-insurance reserves that might be necessary. NOTE J--EARNINGS (LOSS) PER SHARE OF COMMON STOCK Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No 128, "Earning Per Share," requires two presentations of earnings (loss) per share - "basic" and "diluted." Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing income available to common stockholders (the numerator) by the weighted-average number of common shares (the denominator) for the period. The computation of diluted earnings (loss) per share is similar to basic earning per share, except that the denominator is increased to include the number of additional common shares that would have been outstanding if the potentially dilutive common shares had been issued The numerator in calculating both basic and diluted earnings (loss) per share for each period is the reported net income (loss). The denominator is based on the following weighted-average number of common shares outstanding for each of the respective periods:
December 31, 1999 December 31, 2000 October 19, 1999 (Inception) through December 31, 2000 ------------------------------------------------------------------ 1,499,950 1,704,571 2,000,395
A difference between basic and diluted weighted-average common shares arises from the assumption that dilutive stock options outstanding, if any, are exercised. Stock options and warrants are not included in the diluted earnings (loss) per share calculation when the exercise price is greater than the average market price. The Company does not have any dilutive stock options outstanding as of December 31, 2000. F-20 NOTE K--INCOME TAXES As previously discussed, the stockholders elected to terminate, retroactively to October 19, 1999, the S- Corporation income tax filing status for the Company. The stockholders are filing with the Internal Revenue Service, a letter of request for retroactive termination, accompanied by the Statement of Consent to Revocation of Election signed by the stockholders. The Company is confident that the IRS will grant the Company's request to be a C corporation and, accordingly, these financial statements are prepared under the SFAS No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes". The Company did not provide any current or deferred US federal or state income tax provision or benefit for any of the periods presented because it has experienced operating losses since inception. The Company has provided a full valuation allowance on the deferred tax asset, consisting primarily of net operating loss, because of uncertainty regarding its realizability. At December 31, 2000 the Company had a net operating loss carryforward of approximately $407,000. Utilization of these net operating losses, which begin to expire in year 2019, may be subject to certain limitations under section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and other limitations under state tax laws. Deferred income taxes reflect the net tax effects of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for income tax purposes. Significant components of the Company's deferred tax assets at December 31 are approximately as follows:
2000 1999 ---- ---- Net operating loss carryforward $ 153,000 $ 13,000 Valuation allowance for deferred tax assets. (153,000) (13,000) Net deferred tax assets $ - $ -
