Limited State Registration Initially, the only state in which our securities may be sold is New York State. Therefore, you may only resell your shares in New York State. In the event we expand the number of states which we intend to do ,in which our securities will be sold, we will file a post-effective amendment to the registration statement and re-circulate prospectuses to all prospective investors to whom prospectuses had previously been distributed. In addition, we may sell shares to investors who reside in foreign countries. In that event, we will register or qualify the sale of our shares in such country unless an exemption from registration or qualification is available. -9- SUMMARY FINANCIAL INFORMATION The following is a summary of our financial information and is qualified in its entirety by our audited financial statements. For the Nine Months Ended May 31, 2002 Unaudited ----------------------- Statement of Income Data: Net Sales $ 0 Net profit (Loss) $ 0 Net Loss Per Share $ (0.00) Shares Outstanding at 12/31/01 10,024,000 As of May 31, 2002 Unaudited ----------------- Balance Sheet Data Cash $ 0 Working Capital $ 0 Total Assets $ 545 Long Term Debt $ 0 Total Liabilities $ 2,045 Total Shareholders' Equity $ 545 RISK FACTORS You may not have access to your funds for up to 18 months the date of this prospectus; if returned you will not get interest on your funds. If we are unable to locate an acquisition candidate meeting our acquisition criteria, you will have to wait 18 months from the date of this prospectus before a proportionate portion of your funds is returned, without interest. You will be offered return of your proportionate portion of the funds held in escrow only upon the reconfirmation offering required to be conducted upon execution of an agreement to acquire an acquisition candidate which represents 80% of the maximum offering proceeds, including the total exercise price of the class A and class B warrants. If a sufficient number of investors do not reconfirm their investments, the business combination will not be closed and you will not be issued your securities. -10- A business combination with an acquisition candidate cannot be closed unless, for the reconfirmation offering required by Rule 419, we can successfully convince you and a sufficient number of investors representing 80% of the maximum offering proceeds to elect to reconfirm your investments. If, after completion of the reconfirmation offering, a sufficient number of investors do not reconfirm their investment, the business combination will not be closed. In that event, none of the securities held in escrow will be distributed and the funds will be returned to you on a proportionate basis. Management does not devote full time to the company and we may end up missing a target opportunity Lack of Prior Market for Securities of the Company. No prior market has existed for the securities being offered hereby and no assurance can be given that a market will develop subsequent to this registration statement. There are relatively few restrictions on the resale of our common stock being offered and a large number of shares of common stock will become eligible for public sale. Sales of substantial amounts of these shares in the public market, or the perception that such sales could occur, could cause the market price for our common stock to fall. Additional offerings may have to be made in the future to meet additional cash flow needs with such offerings including warrants for issuance of additional common stock, further diluting the common stock outstanding. These warrants if exercised will most likely require that we register their shares for resale. Even when shares are not registered for resale, the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission permit a holder who has held shares for one year to sell the stock into the public market subject, in some cases, to volume and other limitations. A person who has held shares for two years can generally sell without limitation. Projections. The financial projections that the Company may prepare from time to time are unaudited and are based upon assumptions made by management concerning future events and circumstances. Projections are only indications of what may happen under certain circumstances as described in the assumptions thereto. Some assumptions inevitably will not materialize and unanticipated events and circumstances may occur which will materially effect these projections. However, the Company has no prior operating history from which to extrapolate regarding possible future operations. THESE PROJECTIONS MAY VARY SIGNIFICANTLY FROM ACTUAL RESULTS AND NO INVESTMENT DECISION SHOULD BE BASED THEREON UPON THESE PROJECTIONS. WARNING ABOUT FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS This prospectus and the documents referred to in this prospectus contain "forward-looking statements" as that term is used in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Forward-looking statements address future events, developments or results and typically use words such as believe, anticipate, expect, intend, plan or estimate. For example, our forward-looking statements may include statements regarding: -11- - our growth plans, including our plans to acquire an operating business entity; - the possible effect of inflation and other economic changes on our costs, and profitability, including the possible effect of future changes in operating costs and capital expenditures; - our cash needs, including our ability to fund our proposed capital expenditures and working capital requirements; - this being a start-up situation, the timing of cash requirements and the expected projected profitability; - our expectations regarding competition For a discussion of the risks, uncertainties, and assumptions that could affect our future events, developments or results, you should carefully Review "Risk Factors". In light of these risks, uncertainties and assumptions, The future events, developments or results described by our forward-looking statements in this prospectus or in the documents referred in this prospectus could turn to be materially different from those we discuss or imply. We have no obligation to publicly update or revise our forward-looking statements after the date on the front cover of this prospectus and you should not expect us to do so. YOUR RIGHTS AND SUBSTANTIVE PROTECTION UNDER RULE 419 Rule 419 requires that offering proceeds, after deduction for underwriting commissions, underwriting expenses and dealer allowances, if any, and certificates, representing the securities purchased by you and other investors in this offering, be deposited into an escrow or trust account governed by an agreement which contains certain terms and provisions specified by Rule 419. Under Rule 419, the funds will be released to us and the securities will be released to you only after we have met three basic conditions: - First, we must execute an agreement for the acquisition of a business or asset that will constitute our business and for which the fair value of the business or net assets to be acquired represents at least 80% of the maximum offering proceeds, but excluding underwriting commissions, underwriting expenses and dealer allowances, if any. - Second, we must file a post-effective amendment to or registration statement which includes the results of this offering including, but not limited to, the gross offering proceeds raised, the amounts paid for underwriting commissions, underwriting expenses and dealer allowances, if any, amounts disbursed to us and amounts remaining in the escrow account. In addition, we must disclose the specific amount, use and appropriation of funds dispersed to us to date, including, payments to officers, directors, controlling shareholders or affiliates, specifying the amounts and purposes of these payments, and the terms of a reconfirmation offer that must contain conditions prescribed by Rule 419. The post-effective amendment must also contain information regarding the acquisition candidate and its business, including audited financial statements. -12- - Third, we must mail to each investor within five business days of a post-effective amendment, a copy of the prospectus contained in the registration statement. - After we submit a signed representation to the escrow agent that the requirements of Rule 419 have been met and after the acquisition is closed, the escrow agent can release funds to us and the certificates to you and our investors. Accordingly, we have entered into an escrow agreement with William Yarno, Attorney at Law which provides that: The proceeds are to be deposited promptly upon receipt into the escrow account maintained by the escrow agent. Rule 419 permits 10% of the funds to be released to us prior to the reconfirmation offering, and we do intend to release these funds. The funds and stock dividends, if any, are to be held for the sole benefit of the investor and can only be invested in bank deposit, money market, mutual funds or federal government securities or securities for which the principal or interest is guaranteed by the federal government. All securities issued in this offering and any other securities issued to investors as a result of their ownership of the offered securities, including securities issued as a result of stock splits, stock dividends or similar rights are to be deposited directly into the escrow account promptly upon issuance. Your name must be included on the stock certificates or other documents evidencing the securities. The securities held in the escrow account are to remain as issued, and are to be held for your sole benefit. You retain the voting rights, if any to the securities held in your name. The securities held in the escrow account may neither be transferred or disposed of nor any interest created in them other than by will or the laws of descent and distribution, or under a qualified domestic relations order as defined by the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 or Table 1 of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act. Rule 419 allows for warrants, convertible securities or other derivative securities relating to securities held in the escrow account to be exercised or converted in accordance with their terms, provided that certificates representing the securities received upon exercise or conversion, together with any cash or other consideration paid for the exercise or conversion, be promptly deposited into the escrow account. However, you and other warrant holders may not exercise your warrants until the escrow agent has released the funds to us and the share certificates and warrant certificates to you and other investors. Rule 419 requires that, before the funds and the securities can be released, we must first execute an agreement to acquire a candidate meeting certain specific criteria. The agreement must provide for the acquisition of business or assets for which the fair value of the business represents at least 80% of the maximum offering proceeds. The agreement must include, as a precondition to its closing, a requirement that the number of investors representing 80% of the maximum offering proceeds, including the total exercise price of any warrants, must elect to reconfirm their investment. Thus, for purposes of the offering, the fair value of the business or assets to be acquired must be at least $ 720,000 (80% of $ 900,000). -13- Once the agreement governing the acquisition of a business meeting the required criteria has been executed, Rule 419 requires us to update the registration statement with a post-effective amendment. The post-effective amendment must contain information about proposed acquisition candidate and its business, including audited financial statements, the results of this offering and the use of the funds disbursed from the escrow account. The post-effective amendment must also include the terms of the reconfirmation offer mandated by Rule 419. The reconfirmation offer must include certain prescribed conditions which must be satisfied before the funds and securities can be released from escrow. The reconfirmation offer must commence after the effective date of the post-effective amendment. Under Rule 419, the terms of the reconfirmation offer must include the following conditions: The prospectus contained in the post-effective amendment will be sent to each investor whose securities are held in the escrow account within 5 business days after the effective date of the post-effective amendment. Each investor will have no fewer than 20 and no more than 45 business days from the effective date, of the post-effective amendment to notify us in writing that the investor elects to remain an investor. If we do not receive written notification from any investor within 45 business days following the effective date, the proportionate portion of the funds and any related dividends or interest held in the escrow account on that Investor's behalf will be returned to the investor within 5 business days by first class mail or other equally prompt means. The acquisition will be closed only if a minimum number of investors representing 80% of the units sold elect to reconfirm their investment. If a closed acquisition has not occurred by September 2003, the funds held in the escrow account shall be returned to all investors on a proportionate basis within 5 business days by first class mail or other equally prompt means. The funds will be released to us, and the securities will be released to you, only after: The escrow agent has received a signed representation from us and any other evidence acceptable by the escrow agent that: We have executed an agreement for the acquisition of a candidate for which the fair market value of the business represents at least 80% of the maximum offering proceeds, including the total exercise price of warrants if any, and has filed the required post-effective amendment. The post-effective amendment has been declared effective. We have satisfied all of the prescribed conditions of the reconfirmation offer. The acquisition of the business with a fair value of at least 80% of the maximum proceeds, including the total exercise price of warrants if any has closed. -14- USE OF PROCEEDS We estimate that we will receive net proceeds of approximately $900,000 from our sale of 2,000,000 shares offered by us. This estimate is based on an offering price of $0.50 per share of common stock and after deducting estimated underwriting discounts and commissions, and other estimated offering expenses payable by us. We expect to use the net proceeds of this offering for the following purposes:
Amount Percentage Business acquisitions $ 850,000 94.4% Working capital and general corporate purposes 50,000 5.6% ---------- ----- Total $ 900,000 100.0% ======= ======
The use of proceeds is subject to the conditions as set out above in compliance with Rule 419. Working capital and general corporate purposes including the following: - hiring of personnel - enhancing support and management systems - funding short term losses - setting up of office environment for corporate headquarters - payment of staff - acquisition of office and telecommunication equipment. On the assumption that we will proceed with our original business objectives, then we will expect the net proceeds from this offering, together with the future expected cash flows from operations, will be sufficient to fund our operations and capital requirements for at least 12 months following the consummation of this offering. We may be required to seek additional sources of capital sooner if: - operating assumptions change or prove to be inaccurate; or - we wish to may further business acquisitions not intended from this offering which may require additional funds. Pending the uses described above or in the event that Rule 419 does not apply, the net proceeds will be invested in a money market account and/or short-term government bonds. - 15- CAPITALIZATION The following table sets forth our capitalization as of May 31, 2002. May 31, 2002 ------------------- Long term debt $ 0 Stockholders' equity Preferred stock, par value $.001, authorized 5,000,000, issued - none Common stock, $ 0.001 par value, authorized 50,000,000, issued - 10,024,000 10,024 Deficit accumulated during the development Stage (11,524) ------ Total stockholders' equity (1,500) ------ Total Capitalization $ 545 ====== DETERMINATION OF OFFERING PRICE The offering prices are purely arbitrary, the Company is a development stage company with no discertainable operations at this time and has not had its shares listed on any stock exchange. Through this registration statement the Company wishes to list its shares and by doing so establish a reasonable share price based on the expectations of selling shares and realizing its business objectives to be discussed below. (See: Description of Business). DIVIDEND POLICY Holders of the Company's Common Stock are entitled to dividends when, As and if declared by the Board of Directors, out of funds legally available therefor. The Company does not anticipate the declaration or payment of any dividends in the foreseeable future. The Company intends to retain earnings, if any, to finance the development and expansion of its business. Future dividend policy will be subject to the discretion of the Board of Directors and will be contingent upon future earnings, if any, the Company's financial condition, capital requirements, general business conditions and other factors. Therefore, there can be no assurance that any dividends of any kind will ever be paid. - 16 - DILUTION The dilution between the initial public offering price per share of common stock and the net tangible book value per share after this offering constitutes the dilution to investors in this offering. Net tangible book value per share of common stock is determined by dividing our net tangible book value(total tangible assets less total liabilities) by the number of shares of common stock outstanding. Our net tangible book value as of May 31, 2002 was $ 0.00 Our net tangible book value per share was $0.00. The public offering per share is $ 0.50 and the net proceeds will be $ 0.45 per share. The pro forma net tangible book value after the offering will be $ 900,000. The pro forma net tangible book value per share after the offering will be $ 0.08 per share. Therefore the shares purchased by investors assuming all shares of this offering will be sold will be diluted by $ 0.37 or 82%. As of May 31, 2002, there were 10,024,000 shares of our common stock outstanding. Dilution represents the difference between the public offering price and the net pro forma tangible book value per share immediately following the completion of the public offering. The table below sets forth, as of the date of the prospectus, the percentage of our common stock to be purchased by the public investors compared to the percentage of our common stock to be purchased by the public investors compared to the percentage of our common stock to be owned by the present stockholders, and the comparative amounts paid for shares by the public investors as compared to the total consideration paid by our present stockholders.
Approximate Approximate Percentage Percentage Shares Total Shares Total Total Stockholder Purchased Outstanding Consideration Consideration ------------------------------------------------------------------------- New Investors 2,000,000 20.0% $ 1,000,000 99.9% Existing Stockholders 10,024,000 80.0% $10,024 0.1% We sold 10,024,000 shares to the founders, officers and directors for expenses and services rendered on behalf of the Company.

The termination of any action, suit or proceeding, by judgment, order, settlement, conviction upon a plea of nolo contendere or its equivalent, shall not of itself create a presumption that the person did not act in good faith in a manner he reasonably believed to be in, or not opposed to, the best interests of the corporation and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had reasonable cause to believe the action was unlawful. (b) The corporation shall indemnify any person who was or is a party, or is threatened to be made a party, to any threatened, pending or completed action or suit by or in the right of the corporation, to procure a judgment in its favor by reason of the fact that he is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, against expenses (including attorneys' fees), actually and reasonably incurred by him in connection with the defense or settlement of such action or suit, if he acted in good faith and in a manner he reasonably believed to be in, or not, opposed to, the best interests of the corporation, except that no indemnification shall be made in respect of any claim, issue or matter as to which such person shall have been adjudged to be liable for negligence or misconduct in the performance of his duty to the corporation, unless, and only to the extent that, the court in which such action or suit was brought shall determine upon application that, despite the adjudication of liability, but in view of all circumstances of the case, such person is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnification for such expenses which such court deems proper. (c) To the extent that a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation has been successful on the merits or otherwise in defense of any action, suit or proceeding referred to in Sections (a) and (b) of this Article, or in defense of any claim, issue or matter therein, he shall be Indemnified against expenses (including attorney's fees) actually and reasonably Incurred by him in connection therewith. - 23 - (d) Any indemnification under Section (a) or (b) of this Article (unless ordered by a court) shall be made by the corporation only as authorized in the specific case upon a determination that indemnification of the officer, director and employee or agent is proper in the circumstances, because he has met the applicable standard of conduct set forth in Section (a) or (b) of this Article. Such determination shall be made (i) by the Board of Directors by a Majority vote of a quorum consisting of directors who were not parties to such action, suit or proceeding, or (ii) if such quorum is not obtainable or, even if obtainable, a quorum of disinterested directors so directs, by independent legal counsel in a written opinion, or (iii) by the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the shares of stock entitled to vote and represented at a meeting called for purpose.

ORGANIZATION WITHIN LAST FIVE YEARS Not applicable DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS Business Development Multimod Investments, Ltd. (the "Company") was organized on May 12, 2000, under the laws of the State of Nevada, having the stated purpose of engaging in any lawful activities. The Company was formed with the contemplated purpose to acquire a business that may be engaged in technology industry in the United States and elsewhere. The Company is searching for a viable entity Upon which to merge and/or acquire. - 24 - The Company has never engaged in an active trade or business throughout The period from May 12, 2000 until the filing of this form. On May 13, 2000 the Company issued stock a total of 400,000 shares of common stock. Marvin N. Winick was issued 188,000 shares of common stock, Sterling Klein was issued 188,000 shares of common stock, and 24 other non-affiliated persons were issued at total of 24,000 shares. Additionally stock was issued to individuals including Mr. Winick, Mr. Klein and Mr. Narwal who are directors and officers of the the company for services rendered in connection with investigation and research for a suitable business acquisition or merger candidate. The Company has now begun to consider and investigate potential business opportunities. The Company is considered a development stage company and, due to its status as a "shell" corporation, its principal business purpose is to locate and consummate a merger or acquisition with a private entity. Because of the Company's current status of having limited assets and No recent operating history, in the event the Company does successfully acquire Or merge with an operating business opportunity, it is likely that the Company's present shareholders will experience substantial dilution and there will be a probable change in control of the Company. On September 1, 2001, the Company also determined it should become active in seeking potential operating businesses and business opportunities with the intent to acquire or merge with such businesses. Any target acquisition or merger candidate of the Company will become subject to the same reporting requirements as the Company upon consummation of any such business combination. Thus, in the event that the Company successfully completes an acquisition or merger with another operating business, the resulting combined business must provide audited financial statements for at least the two most recent fiscal years, or in the event that the combined operating business has been in business less than two years, audited financial statements will be required from the period of inception of the target acquisition or merger candidate. The Company's principal executive offices are located at 14 Pico Crescent, Thornhill, Ontario Canada L4J 8P4 and its telephone number is (905) 731-0189. Business of Issuer The Company has no recent operating history and no representation is made, nor is any intended, that the Company will be able to carry on future business activities successfully. There can be no assurance that the Company. will have the ability to acquire or merge with an operating business, business opportunity or property that will be of material value to the Company. Management plans to investigate, research and, if justified, potentially acquire or merge with one or more businesses or business opportunities. The Company currently has no commitment or arrangement, written or oral, to participate in any business opportunity and management cannot predict the nature of any potential business opportunity it may ultimately consider. Management will have broad discretion in its search for and negotiations with any potential business or business opportunity. - 25 - Sources of Business Opportunities The Company intends to use various sources in its search for potential business opportunities including its officers and directors, consultants, special advisors, securities broker-dealers, venture capitalists, member of the financial community and others who may present management with unsolicited proposals. Because of the Company's limited capital, it may not be able to retain on a fee basis professional firms specializing in business acquisitions and reorganizations. The Company will most likely have to rely on outside sources, not otherwise associated with the Company, that will accept their compensation only after the Company has finalized a successful acquisition or merger. The Company will rely upon the expertise and contacts of such persons, will use notices in written publications and personal contacts to find merger and acquisition candidates, the exact number of such contacts dependent upon the skill and industriousness of the participants and the conditions of the marketplace. None of the participants in the process will have any past business relationship with management. To date the Company has paid certain consultants with stock for services rendered but has not entered into any definitive agreements nor understandings regarding retention of any of the consultants already remunerated to assist the Company in its search for business opportunities. The Company does not intend to restrict its search to any specific kind Of industry or business. The Company may investigate and ultimately acquire a venture that is in its preliminary or development stage, is already in operation, or in various stages of its corporate existence and development. Management cannot predict at this time the status or nature of any venture in which the Company may participate. A potential venture might need additional capital or merely desire to have its shares publicly traded. The most likely scenario for a possible business arrangement would involve the acquisition of, or merger with, an operating business that does not need additional capital, but which merely desires to establish a public trading market for its shares. Management believes that the Company could provide a potential public vehicle for a private entity interested in becoming a publicly held corporation with this registration statement. Evaluation Once the Company has identified a particular entity as a potential acquisition or merger candidate, management will seek to determine whether acquisition or merger is warranted or whether further investigation is necessary. Such determination will generally be based on management's knowledge and experience, (limited solely to working history - See "Directors, Executive Officers, etc.") or with the assistance of outside advisors and consultants evaluating the preliminary information available to them. Management may elect to engage outside independent consultants to perform preliminary analysis of potential business opportunities. However, because of the Company's limited capital it may not have the necessary funds for a complete and exhaustive investigation of any particular opportunity. Management will not devote full time to finding a merger candidate, will continue to engage in outside unrelated activities, and anticipates devoting no more than an average of five (5) hours weekly to such undertaking. - 26 - In evaluating such potential business opportunities, the Company will consider, to the extent relevant to the specific opportunity, several factors including potential benefits to the Company and its shareholders; working capital, financial requirements and availability of additional financing; history of operation, if any; nature of present and expected competition; quality and experience of management; need for further research, development or exploration; potential for growth and expansion; potential for profits; and other factors deemed relevant to the specific opportunity. Because the Company has not located or identified any specific business opportunity as of the date hereof, there are certain unidentified risks that cannot be adequately expressed prior to the identification of a specific business opportunity. There can be no assurance following consummation of any acquisition or merger that the business venture will develop into a going concern or, if the business is already operating, that it will continue to operate successfully. Many of the potential business opportunities available to the Company may involve new and untested products, processes or market strategies which may not ultimately prove successful. At this time the Company is evaluating a number of opportunities. If any of these opportunities are pursued with a view to acquisition or merger, the Company will file a post-effective registration statement to effect this merger or acquisition. Form of Potential Acquisition or Merger Presently the Company cannot predict the manner in which it might participate in a prospective business opportunity. Each separate potential opportunity will be reviewed and, upon the basis of that review, a suitable legal structure or method of participation will be chosen. The particular manner in which the Company participates in a specific business opportunity will depend upon the nature of that opportunity, the respective needs and desires of the Company and management of the opportunity, and the relative negotiating strength of the parties involved. Actual participation in a business venture may take the form of an asset purchase, lease, joint venture, license, partnership, stock purchase, reorganization, merger or consolidation. The Company may act directly or indirectly through an interest in a partnership, corporation, or other form of organization, however, the company does not intend to participate in opportunities through the purchase of minority stock positions. Because of the Company's current status of inactivity since inception May 12, 2000, and its concomitant lack of assets and relevant operating history, it is likely that any potential merger or acquisition with another operating business will require substantial dilution to the Company's existing shareholders' interests. There will probably be a change in control of the Company, with the incoming owners of the targeted merger or acquisition candidate taking over control of the Company. Management has not established any guidelines as to the amount of control it will offer to prospective business opportunity candidates, since this issue will depend to a large degree on the economic strength and desirability of each candidate, and the corresponding relative bargaining power of the parties. However, management will endeavor to negotiate the best possible terms for the benefit of the Company's shareholders as the case arises. Management may actively negotiate or otherwise consent to the purchase of any portion of their common stock as a - 27 - condition to, or in connection with, a proposed merger or acquisition. In such an event, existing shareholders may not be afforded an opportunity to approve or consent to any particular stock buy-out transaction. However the terms of the sale of shares held by present management of the Company will be extended equally to all other current shareholders. Management does not have any plans to borrow funds to compensate any persons, consultants, or promoters in conjunction with its efforts to find and acquire or merge with another business opportunity. Management does not have any plans to borrow funds to pay compensation to any prospective business opportunity, or shareholders, management, creditors, or other potential parties to the acquisition or merger. In either case, it is unlikely that the Company would be able to borrow significant funds for such purposes from any conventional lending sources. With this registration statement the Company hopes to raise enough funds that will allow it to go public and make a serious effort to acquire or merge with a suitable candidate. Management will also endeavor to raise funds through he private sale of its securities. Such a private sale would be limited to persons exempt under the Commission's Regulation D or other rule, or provision or exemption, if any applies. However, no private sales are contemplated by the Company's management at this time until the stock can be registered for sale under this registration. If a private sale of the Company's securities is deemed appropriate in the future, management will endeavor to acquire funds on the best terms available to the Company. However, there can be no assurance that the Company will be able to obtain funding when and if needed, or that such funding, if available, can be obtained on terms reasonable or acceptable to the Company. The Company does not anticipate using Regulation S promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933 to raise any funds any time within the next year, subject only to its potential applicability after consummation of a merger or acquisition. In the event of a successful acquisition or merger, a finder's fee, in the form of cash or securities of the Company, may be paid to persons instrumental in facilitating the transaction and escrowed in accordance to Rule 419. The Company has not established any criteria or limits for the determination of a finder's fee, although most likely an appropriate finder's fee will be negotiated between the parties, including the potential business opportunity candidate, based upon economic considerations and reasonable value as estimated and mutually agreed upon at that time. A finder's fee would only be payable upon completion of the proposed acquisition or merger in the normal case, and management does not contemplate any other arrangement at this time. Current management has not in the past usedany particular consultants, advisors or finders. Management has not actively undertaken a search for, nor retention of, any finder's fee arrangement with any person. It is possible that a potential merger or acquisition candidate would have its own finder's fee arrangement, or other similar business brokerage or investment banking arrangement, whereupon the terms may be governed by a pre-existing contract; in such case, the Company may be limited in its ability to affect the terms of compensation, but most likely the terms would be disclosed and subject to approval pursuant to submission of the proposed transaction to a vote of the Company's shareholders. Management cannot predict any other terms of a finder's fee arrangement at this time. If such a fee arrangement was proposed, independent management and directors would negotiate the best terms available to the Company so as not to compromise the fiduciary duties of the representative in the proposed transaction, and the Company would require that the proposed arrangement would be submitted to the shareholders for prior ratification in an appropriate manner. - 28 - Management does not contemplate that the Company would acquire or merge With a business entity in which any officer or director of the Company has an interest. Any such related party transaction, however remote, would be submitted for approval by an independent quorum of the Board of Directors and the proposed transaction would be submitted to the shareholders for prior ratification in an appropriate manner. The Company's management has not had any contact, discussions, or other understandings regarding any particular business opportunity at this time, regardless of any potential conflict of interest issues. Accordingly, the potential conflict of interest is merely a remote theoretical possibility at this time. Possible Blank Check Company Status It is believed at this time that the Company will be classified as a blank check company and as such is subject to Rule 419 in connection with the raising of capital. The effects of Rule 419 are discussed in this registration statement elsewhere. Rights of Shareholders The Company does intend to provide its shareholders with complete Disclosure documentation including audited finance statements concerning a target company and its business prior to any mergers or acquisitions. Competition Because the Company has not identified any potential acquisition or Merger candidate, it is unable to evaluate the type and extent of its likely competition. The Company is aware that there are several other public companies with only nominal assets that are also searching for operating businesses and other business opportunities as potential acquisition or merger candidates. The Company will be in direct competition with these other public companies in its search for business opportunities and, due to the Company's limited funds, it may be difficult to successfully compete with these other companies. Employees As of the date hereof, the Company does not have any employees and has no plans for retaining employees until such time as the Company's business warrants the expense, or until the Company successfully acquires or merges with an operating business. The Company may find it necessary to periodically hire part-time clerical help on an as-needed basis. The funds needed in this case will be advanced by Mr. Winick. - 29 - Facilities The Company is currently using at no cost to the Company, as its principal place of business offices of one of its directors and officer (provided at no cost), located in Thornhill, Ontario Canada. Although the Company has no written agreement and pays no rent for the use of this facility, it is contemplated that at such future time as an acquisition or merger transaction may be completed, the Company will secure commercial office space from which it will conduct its business. Until such an acquisition or merger, the Company lacks any basis for determining the kinds of office space or other facilities necessary for its future business. The Company has no current plans to secure such commercial office space. It is also possible that a merger or acquisition candidate would have adequate existing facilities upon completion of such a transaction, and the Company's principal offices may be transferred to such existing facilities. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS The Company is considered a development stage company with limited assets or capital, and with no operations or income since inception May 12, 2000. The costs and expenses associated with the preparation and filing of this registration statement and other operations of the Company have been paid for by a shareholder, specifically Mr. Marvin N. Winick (see Security Ownership of Certain Beneficial Owners and Management Marvin N. Winick is one of the controlling shareholders). Mr. Winick has agreed to pay future costs associated with filing future reports under Exchange Act of 1934 if the Company is unable to do so. It is anticipated that the Company will require only nominal capital to maintain the corporate viability of the Company and any additional needed funds will most likely be provided by the Company's existing shareholders or its sole officer and director in the immediate future. Current shareholders have not agreed upon the terms and conditions of future financing and such undertaking will be subject to future negotiations, except for the express commitment of Mr. Winick to fund required 34 Act filings. Repayment of any such funding will also be subject to such negotiations. However, unless the Company is able to facilitate an acquisition of or merger with an operating business or is able to obtain significant outside financing, there is substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. In the opinion of management, inflation has not and will not have a material effect on the operations of the Company until such time as the Company successfully completes an acquisition or merger. At that time, management will evaluate the possible effects of inflation on the Company as it relates to its business and operations following a successful acquisition or merger. Management plans may but do not currently provide for experts to secure A successful acquisition or merger partner so that it will be able to continue As a going concern. In the event such efforts are unsuccessful, contingent Plans have been arranged to provide that the current Director of the Company is to fund required future filings under the 34 Act, and existing shareholders have expressed an interest in additional funding if necessary to continue the Company as a going concern. - 30 - Plan of Operation During the next twelve months, the Company will actively seek out and investigate possible business opportunities with the intent to acquire or merge with one or more business ventures. In its search for business opportunities, management will follow the procedures outlined in Item 1 above. Because the Company has limited funds, it may be necessary for the officers and directors to either advance funds to the Company or to accrue expenses until such time as a successful business consolidation can be made. The Company will not require that the funds advanced by the officers and directors be repaid immediately by the target company. These funds will show as an accounts payable on the records of the Company to be repaid at such time as there are funds available to repay such advances. Management intends to hold expenses to a minimum and to obtain services on a contingency basis when possible. Further, the Company's directors will defer any compensation until such time as an acquisition or merger can be accomplished and will strive to have the business opportunity provide their remuneration. However, if the Company engages outside advisors or consultants in its search for business opportunities, it may be necessary for the Company to attempt to raise additional funds. As of the date hereof, the Company has not made any arrangements or definitive agreements to use outside advisors or consultants or to raise any capital. In the event the Company does need to raise capital most likely the only method available to the Company would be the private sale of its securities. Because of the nature of the Company as a development stage company, it is unlikely that it could make a public sale of securities or be able to borrow any significant sum from either a commercial or private lender. There can be no assurance that the Company will able to obtain additional funding when and if needed, or that such funding, if available, can be obtained on terms acceptable to the Company. The Company does not intend to use any employees, with the possible exception of part-time clerical assistance on an as-needed basis. Outside advisors or consultants will be used only if they can be obtained for minimal cost or on a deferred payment basis. Management is convinced that it will be able to operate in this manner and to continue its search for business opportunities during the next twelve months. Description of Property The information required by this Item is not applicable to this Form SB-2 due to the fact that the Company does not own or control any material property. There are no preliminary agreements or understandings with respect to office facilities in the future. - 31 - CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS On June 5, 2001, the following table sets forth information regarding all securities sold by us to shareholders with greater than 5%, officers and directors.

The accompanying notes are an integral part of these financial statements. - 38 - MULTIMOD INVESTMENTS, LTD. (A Development Stage Company) Notes To Interim Financial Statements May 31, 2002 (Unaudited) Note 1 - Organization and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies: Nature of Business Multimod Investments, Ltd. (the "Company") was incorporated on May 12, 2000 under the laws of the State of Nevada. The Company's primary business operations are to develop and engage in internet related businesses. The Company is searching for a viable entity upon which to merge and/or acquire. The Company intends on going public in order to raise the funds required in order to fulfill its business objectives. The Company's fiscal year end is August 31. Basis of Presentation - Development Stage Company The Company has not earned any revenue from limited principal operations. Accordingly, the Company's activities have been accounted for as those of a "Development Stage Enterprise" as set forth in Financial Accounting Standards Board Statement No. 7 ("SFAS 7"). Among the disclosures required by SFAS 7 are that the Company's financial statements be identified as those of a development stage company, and that the statements of operations, stockholders' equity (deficit) and cash flows disclose activity since the date of the Company's inception. Basis of Accounting The accompanying financial statements have been prepared on the accrual basis of accounting in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. Estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect certain reported amounts and disclosures. Accordingly, actual results could differ from those estimates. Cash and Cash Equivalents For purposes of the statement of cash flows, the Company considered all cash and other highly liquid investments with initial maturities of three months or less to be cash equivalents. Net earning (loss) per share Basic and diluted net loss per share information is presented under the requirements of SFAS No. 128, Earnings per Share. Basic net loss per share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding for the period, less shares subject to repurchase. Diluted net loss per share reflects the potential dilution of securities by adding other common stock equivalents, including stock options, shares subject to repurchase, warrants and convertible preferred stock, in the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding for a period, if dilutive. All potentially dilutive securities have been excluded from the computation, as their effect is anti- dilutive. - 39 - MULTIMOD INVESTMENTS, LTD. (A Development Stage Company) Notes To Interim Financial Statements May 31, 2002 (Unaudited) Fair Value of Financial Instruments The carrying amount of accounts payable and advance from shareholder are considered to be representative of their respective fair values because of the short-term nature of these financial instruments. Income Taxes The Company accounts for income taxes under SFAS No. 109, which requires the asset and liability approach to accounting for income taxes. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured based on differences between financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities measured using enacted tax rates and laws that are expected to be in effect when differences are expected to reverse. Note 2 - Capital Stock Transactions The authorized capital is 50,000,000 shares of common stock at $.001 par value. The Company has issued 400,000 to twenty six individuals for services rendered in the amount of $400 during the period ended August 31, 2000. During this fiscal year end additional stock totaling 9,624,000 shares of common stock was issued to pay for services rendered totaling $ 9,624. Note 3 - Advance from Shareholder An officer of the Company advanced cash to the Company for start-up incorporation costs of $545. This advance was unsecured, bears no interest, and is due on demand. Note 4 - Going Concern: The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles, which contemplates continuation of the Company as a going concern. The Company operations are in the development stage and the Company has generated no income. The future success of the Company is likely dependent on its ability to attain additional capital to develop its proposed products and ultimately, upon its ability to attain future profitable operations. There can be no assurance that the Company will be successful in obtaining such financing, or that it will attain positive cash flow from operations. - 40 - CHANGES IN AND DISAGREEMENTS WITH ACCOUNTANTS ON ACCOUNTING AND FINANCIAL DISCLOSURE There have been no changes in accountants or disagreements with present accountants on financial disclosure. INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS Article XI of the Company's Articles of Incorporation contains provisions providing for the indemnification of directors and officers of the Company as follows: (a) The corporation shall indemnify any person who was or is a party, or is threatened to be made a party, of any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (other than an action by or in the right of the corporation), by reason of the fact that he is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation, or is otherwise serving at the request of the corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership joint venture, trust or other enterprise, against expenses (including attorneys' fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement, actually and reasonably incurred by him in connection with such action, suit or proceeding, if he acted in good faith and in a manner he reasonably believed to be in, or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, has no reasonable cause to believe his conduct is unlawful. The termination of any action, suit or proceeding, by judgment, order, settlement, conviction upon a plea of nolo contendere or its equivalent, shall not of itself create a presumption that the person did not act in good faith in a manner he reasonably believed to be in, or not opposed to, the best interests of the corporation and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had reasonable cause to believe the action was unlawful. (b) The corporation shall indemnify any person who was or is a party, or is threatened to be made a party, to any threatened, pending or completed action or suit by or in the right of the corporation, to procure a judgment in its favor by reason of the fact that he is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, against expenses (including attorneys' fees), actually and reasonably incurred by him in connection with the defense or settlement of such action or suit, if he acted in good faith and in a manner he reasonably believed to be in, or not, opposed to, the best interests of the corporation, except that no indemnification shall be made in respect of any claim, issue or matter as to which such person shall have been adjudged to be liable for negligence or misconduct in the performance of his duty to the corporation, unless, and only to the extent that, the court in which such action or suit was brought shall determine upon application that, despite the adjudication of liability, but in view of all circumstances of the case, such person is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnification for such expenses which such court deems proper. - 41 - (c) To the extent that a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation has been successful on the merits or otherwise in defense of any action, suit or proceeding referred to in Sections (a) and (b) of this Article, or in defense of any claim, issue or matter therein, he shall be indemnified against expenses (including attorney's fees) actually and reasonably incurred by him in connection therewith. (d) Any indemnification under Section (a) or (b) of this Article (unless ordered by a court) shall be made by the corporation only as authorized in the specific case upon a determination that indemnification of the officer, director and employee or agent is proper in the circumstances, because he has met the applicable standard of conduct set forth in Section (a) or (b) of this Article. Such determination shall be made (i) by the Board of Directors by a majority vote of a quorum consisting of directors who were not parties to such action, suit or proceeding, or (ii) if such quorum is not obtainable or, even if obtainable, a quorum of disinterested directors so directs, by independent legal counsel in a written opinion, or (iii) by the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the shares of stock entitled to vote and represented at a meeting called for purpose. (e) Expenses (including attorneys' fees) incurred in defending a civil or criminal action, suit or proceeding may be paid by the corporation in advance of the final disposition or such action, suit or proceeding, as authorized in Section (d) of this Article, upon receipt of an understanding by or on behalf of the director, officer, employee or agent to repay such amount, unless it shall ultimately be determined that he is entitled to be indemnified by the corporation as authorized in this Article. (f) The Board of Directors may exercise the corporation's power to purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of any person who is or was a director, officer, employee, or agent of the corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director, officer, employee, or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, against any liability asserted against him and incurred by him in any such capacity, or arising out of his status as such, whether or not the corporation would have the power to indemnify him against such liability under this Article. (g) The indemnification provided by this Article shall not be deemed exclusive of any other rights to which those seeking indemnification may be entitled under these Amended Articles of Incorporation, the Bylaws, agreements, vote of the shareholders or disinterested directors, or otherwise, both as to action in his official capacity and as to action in another capacity while holding such office and shall continue as to person who has ceased to be a director, officer, employee or agent and shall inure to the benefit of the heirs and personal representative of such a person.
