(Exact name of registrant as specified in its charter) Nevada (State or other jurisdiction of incorporation) 0 41703 51 0356301 (Commission File Number) (IRS Employer Identification Number) 48 S.W. 16th, Dania Beach, Florida 33004 (Address of principal executive offices including zip code) (954) 927.0034 (Registrant's telephone number including area code) Not Applicable (Former name or former address, if changed since last report) Item 1. Change in Control of Registrant. Acquisition of X-Change, Inc., as a Wholly Owned Subsidiary of Registrant: On June 28, 2001, Diversified Technologies Group, Inc., a Nevada corporation (Company), entered into an agreement (Reorganization Agreement) to acquire all of the outstanding capital stock of X-Change Corporation, Inc., a privately-held Nevada corporation (XCI or X Change). Pursuant to the Reorganization Agreement, the Company agreed to acquire all of the outstanding capital stock of XCI in exchange for 28,000,000 post split shares of its common stock. The Reorganization Agreement became effective on July 1, 2001. Background and Overview of X-Change, Inc.: XCI is a corporation registered under the laws of the state of Nevada. The corporation is developing an alternative trading system (ATS) for the orderly transactional flow of stock transactions primarily for shares normally excluded from mainstream trading venues. These shares may be American Depository Receipts or private placement shares, but the major focus is in transactions of shares trading currently through the National Quotation Bureau "Pink Sheets". A second prospect is the orderly trading of shares issued under Rule 144. Until the advent of "The X Change," holders of these shares had no choice but to wait until the expiration of a specific holding period had been satisfied before realizing any gains that may have accrued. The X Change will offer a method of transaction that will serve this poorly addressed market. As previously mentioned, XCI is in the development stage of a stock trading and order flow system called an alternative trading system. OM Technology is doing a design study for XCI and has the software necessary to establish an effective and efficacious order flow system that can be used by either individual stock traders or broker dealers or institutions. Mission Statement: The aim of X Change is to provide a means by which young, emerging companies can be introduced to the investing public and conversely provide the individual investor with a fair and equitable venue through which ownership in these companies can be made with a high degree of assurance that the investment decision is based on reliable information and the best price available. Of equal importance will be the institution of a trading venue for transactions in shares that have been issued under Rule 144 of the Act. These are shares that were originally issued as un-registered and must be held for a specific time before being eligible as free trading. Often times they are sold at injurious discounts instead of at fair market value. Our system should enable holders to make transactions at more equitable price levels. XCI intends to employ state of the art computer software designed specifically to provide the best order flow possible for quick execution of transactions taken from the broadest cross section of buyers and sellers. This system will be available to not only broker dealers and institutions but independent investors who see the advantages to trading in an arena where the members truly do monitor and police themselves to insure the efficacy of their own vision. Business History: On July 28, 2000, X Change was incorporated under the laws of the State of Nevada. XCI is developing an alternative trading system (ATS) for the trading of shares normally excluded from mainstream trading venues. XCI is registered as a broker-dealer with the SEC. On October 15, 2001, XCI signed an agreement with OM Technologies to design an electronic trading platform. X Change has filed with the United States Patent & Trademark office for its trademark. Alternative Trading System: An Alternative Trading System is the next generation in transaction processing and order flow. Software exists that can connect individuals into a network that provides for proper quotations, order entry and transactional procedures all on a real time electronic basis. A Self-Regulating Organization (SRO) operates under auspices of the Securities and Exchange Commission. The two groups work hand in glove to regulate specific broker dealers and issues traded on venues organized and monitored by the SRO itself. At the present time there are but a handful of SROs. The New York Stock Exchange and various regional exchanges. The Commodities Futures Trading Commission and some other minor special interest venues. It must be noted however that nothing precludes the establishment of other SRO's who have qualified under the rules as promulgated by the SEC. Market: X Change has identified a specific market segment that will lend itself easily to the Alternative Trading System it is developing in conjunction with OM Technologies. This focus is the Pink Sheets. By using this new software technology the Company will generate an increase in liquidity and visibility of these issues by providing traders with an online trading vehicle through a totally new membership venue. As has been previously noted, Pink Sheet issues trade exclusively over the phone. This limits liquidity and restricts the validity of these issues. In addition, there is no form of Order Book and no electronic access to route orders. The NASD has not turned a deaf ear to the needs of these smaller companies but as presently organized they simply do not have the man power or the necessary regulations to provide an effective trading venue or monitoring system to give viability to such issues. In order to keep viability amongst such stocks, they have encouraged the National Quotation Bureau to create its own electronic market data competition to NASD's Bulletin Board. The opportunity to become a leader in trading small capital and limited liquidity stocks by providing an open, fully automated cost effective, transparent marketplace is rapidly growing. By incorporating in its place trading software with an intended registration as an SRO, X Change intends to create a network of institutions and individuals that will implement trading on the system. Including private individuals as full members with access to all markets on the system opens the market to an almost unlimited number of associates. Through the use of simple PC connections every computer nationwide can be connected as a terminal not only for order execution but for real time reporting of trades and market conditions. XCI intends to charge a monthly fee for connection to the service and for the software. Once the trading structure is in place, the universe could grow to include other under-served or foreign markets, but a defined focus in this area will contain scope, minimize risk and provide the quickest returns. Expansion into foreign markets requires the addition of multi-market, multi-instrument and multi-currency capabilities to existing base programs being licensed by XCI from OM Technology, which has scheduled this as an on going development. Technology also allows access to domestic markets from overseas investors via the Internet and other order routing methods. In addition, local points of presence to foreign investors would be available through currently available technology. Technology: XCI has contracted with OM Technology to do a design study for this project and intends to contract with OM to implement this program with proprietary software, hardware infrastructure and support services. OM is an internationally recognized leader in exchange trading systems. Their software suite and integration expertise is unrivaled. They were the pioneer in "for profit" exchanges and offer valuable expertise in establishing this venture as a profit making investment for X Change. The electronic trading system to be used will provide transparency; quotes based on a Limit Book, real-time trade reporting, feed to NQB and a standard feed to vendors such as Reuter's etc. OM will be installing an NQB interface for our Service Bureau business. The software systems have the capability to perform full customer accounting and will maintain client position information, receive securities orders via the Internet or a private network, perform price discovery and manage orders and route and deliver orders to multiple execution destinations. In addition, the software can communicate transaction confirmation information that is received back from the market to the order sending sources. Trade information will be delivered to clearing firms and updated credit and position information can be received from those clearing firms. According X Change research, the electronic system brings with it expertise from electronic exchanges around the world. The common limit order book can be set to interact with one or more matching models. For fairly active/liquid models, a FIFO continuous match could be used while less liquid issues might revert back to periodic auction. Large blocks or special interest orders may `trigger' a call auction. The model can be flexible enough to meet the issue and market requirements. Participants: XCI's intent is to provide all market participants or members--from individual investors to large financial institutions--with the ability to execute transactions on a level playing field, at an extremely low cost. Membership will be open to allow the most number of players and by its very nature increase liquidity. XCI will have subscribers consisting of any person that has entered into a contractual agreement XCI to access such alternative trading systems for the purpose of effecting transactions in thinly traded securities or for submitting, disseminating or displaying orders on such alternative trading systems, including a customer, member, user or participant in an alternative trading system. Anyone who deals with and handles orders for the OTC market can route those orders to The X Change. XCI estimates that within the first year of operation it will enroll 700 members making 200,000 transactions per month. Traders will only be able to access The X Change via broker/dealers, all of which will have access to over 500 institutional clients connected into the IXNET hub. Development Strategy: XCI anticipates rolling out its development and marketing program in three phases during the first 12 months of operation. Phase I . XCI will launch its alternative trading system for stocks which do not have the liquidity and visibility regarded as a prerequisite for an active market. Revenues are anticipated to be generated within the first eighteen months after the ATS is launched. As previously mentioned, XCI is in negotiations with a regional stock exchange to use its services for surveillance and compliance. The infrastructure is in place to connect to the International Stock Exchange, which is the first electronic stock exchange to trade options. It is the intent XCI to trade options side by side on a single screen which is something that is against current regulations to do on an exchange floor but can be accomplished with electronic access to simultaneous exchange floors with modern technology available from OM Technology. The benefits include reduced trading risks. Phase II. XCI will commence offering access to its system to U.S. financial services companies, broker-dealers and other regional exchanges. XCI will market access to the system through front-end platforms developed for it or through the customer's own brokerage platform. In summary, XCI's objective, commencing immediately and continuing over an estimated one year period, is to provide an electronic platform that will make OTC securities markets available to financial institutions and retail investors in a centralized, fully-automated and efficient manner. Management: Cary Grant is the principal founder and president of XCI. Mr. Grant had been a partner/founder of Third Market Corp. and began his career as an account executive with Merrill Lynch. Third Market Corp. was an earlier client of OM Technology allowing The X Change to leverage the relationship into this new venture, with OM willing to defer licensing fees into the future because of its confidence in the vision. He also founded Grant Financial Corp., a specialist firm on the floor of the Chicago Stock Exchange. He subsequently sold Grant Financial to Rodman & Renshaw. Born and raised in Chicago, Mr. Grant was educated at Loyola University and the New York Institute of Finance. He is presently a member of the Security Traders Association (STA), the Security Traders Association of Chicago and the Securities Industry Association. He was a member of the Chicago Stock Exchange from 1981 to 1989 and the Chicago Board of Options Exchange from 1974 to 1981. He was nominated for the 1988 Entrepreneur of the year by Venture Magazine and Arthur Young and Company. Mark Fadiman is the founder of Palisade Business Press, a New Jersey based cooperative publishing firm that has published close to 30 books on business and finance between 1998 and 2000 and supports top Wall Street firms such as Weiss, Peck & Greer and RWB Advisory Services with magazines, newsletters and marketing materials. Palisade Press also supervises advertorial programs for the financial trade publication Ticker magazine and Individual Investor magazine (ca.:500,000). Mark was previously publisher and editor-in-chief of the Money Review magazine and is the author of two well-received books on the financial industry--Rebuilding Wall Street (Simon & Schuster, 1992) and MarketShock (John Wiley & Sons, 1994). Fadiman has held numerous reporting positions in the financial media including Wall Street and banking correspondent for Investor's Business Daily and retail brokerage and municipal finance editor for Investment Dealers Digest magazine. He is founding editor of the financial technology newsletter Investment Management Technology and the retail brokerage magazine On Wall Street (ca.:100,000 Thomson Corp.) Location: The Company's and XCI's offices are located at 150 North Michigan Avenue, Suite 690, Chicago, IL 60601. The telephone number is (312) 332-4400 and facsimile number is (312) 332-4401. Regulatory Classification: On December 8, 1998, the Securities and Exchange Commission issued new rules and rule amendments regarding the regulation of exchanges and alternative trading systems (ATS). The new SEC rules and amendments allow an ATS to choose whether to register as national exchanges or as broker/dealers and comply with additional requirements under Regulation ATS. The amendments also make changes to the interpretation of the definition of "exchange" and the rules regarding the registration as an exchange, and exclude from the rule filing requirements for self-regulatory organizations (SRO's) certain pilot trading systems operated by national securities exchanges and national securities associations. These new rules provide options to The X Change in how best to take advantage of the opportunity to introduce the next generation of equity trading platforms. There are exemptions that XCI can take advantage of if it so chooses. Section 36 of the Exchange Act gives the SEC authority to exempt any person, security, or transaction from provisions of the Exchange Act. Under this authority, the SEC adopted Exchange Act Rule 3a1-1, which exempts certain entities from the definition of "exchange" and there for the requirement to register as an exchange, if they are operated by a national securities association, comply with new Regulation ATS, or are not required to comply with that regulation. One such exemption that The X Change can use is a temporary exemption from rule filing requirements for Pilot Trading Systems. In order to provide an SRO with the opportunity to better compete with ATS's registered as broker/dealers, the SEC adopted new Rule 19b-5. Rule 19b-5 allows SROs to operate new pilot trading systems for up to two years without pre-approval by the SEC. Currently, these entities are required to submit a rule filing to the SEC for approval before they are permitted to operate any new trading system. The X Change's relationship with the regional stock exchange mentioned above could prove to be invaluable. Taking the swift and easier regulatory route of first establishing a Pilot program under the oversight of the regional stock exchange, but having a partner who can provide the knowledge, experience (such as compliance and surveillance) and operational structure of a regional exchange gives The X Change instant credibility. Established procedures and well-run facilities insure a high degree of acceptance and success. Proven connectivity to SIAC (for trade reporting), to NSCC (for clearing) and to member firms for order routing shorten the development, testing and certification cycles. When XCI moves to exchange status, the connectivity to ITS as well as the business expertise with the regional stock exchange will save the time and headaches during the process. Ultimately The X Change will choose to take advantage of these new rules by creating a new National Securities Exchange and Self-Regulatory Organization (SRO) if it receives approval from the SEC. As an "exchange," XCI will be defined as such under Section 3(a)(1) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (Exchange Act) which includes a "market place or facilities for bringing together purchasers and sellers or for otherwise performing with respect to securities the functions commonly performed by a stock exchange". The Adopting Release states that ATS's are increasingly performing many of the functions typically carried out by registered exchanges and are being used by many market participants as the functional equivalents of exchanges. The SEC therefore adopted new Rule 3b-16 under the Exchange Act. Rule 3b-16 defines terms used in the statutory definition of "exchange" in order to include systems, such as The X Change's ATS, within the definition of "exchange". Specifically, Rule 3b-16 interprets the terms used in the statutory definition of "exchange" to include any entity that (1) brings together the orders for securities of multiple buyers and sellers and (2) uses established, non-discretionary methods under which the orders interact with each other, and the buyers and sellers entering the orders agree to the terms of a trade. An ATS registering as a National Securities Exchange must comply with all the current requirements of registered exchanges. For example, an ATS must perform all the self-regulatory responsibilities of an exchange, including enforcing compliance by its members, and persons associated with its members, with the federal securities laws, and the rules of the exchange. The representation of their members in the selection of directors and prohibits registered exchanges from granting new membership to any person not registered as a broker/dealer with the SEC or associated with a broker/dealer. An ATS registering, as an exchange also would be required to trade only registered securities and would be expected to become a participant in the national market system.
