PROSPECTUS SUMMARY THIS SUMMARY HIGHLIGHTS SELECTED INFORMATION FROM THIS PROSPECTUS AND MAY NOT CONTAIN ALL OF THE INFORMATION THAT IS IMPORTANT TO YOU. TO UNDERSTAND THE TERMS OF OUR SECURITIES, YOU SHOULD CAREFULLY READ THIS DOCUMENT. YOU SHOULD ALSO READ THE DOCUMENTS WE HAVE REFERRED YOU TO IN THE SECTION ENTITLED "WHERE YOU CAN FIND MORE INFORMATION ON PAGE 1 FOR INFORMATION ON OUR COMPANY AND OUR FINANCIAL STATEMENTS. OUR BUSINESS Cassco Capital Corp. (Company) was incorporated as Anthony Kane Incorporated under the laws of the State of Delaware on February 5, 1969, and became subject to the reporting provisions of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 on June 11, 1969, when a registration statement filed by the Company was declared effective by the Commission. The name of the Company was changed to Maid Rite Ventures, Inc., on April 8, 1985, and to Grandee Corporation on September 23, 1985, on which date the Company also increased its authorized shares of common stock from 25,000,000 to 75,000,000, concurrently effecting a decrease in par value per share from $.01 to $.00333. In July, 1992, the Company entered into an agreement with K C Jakes BBQ & Grill, Inc., for the purpose of acquiring KC Jakes as a subsidiary. This agreement was set aside by a court of competent jurisdiction in 1994, as previously reported by the Company in a filing under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 on Form 8-K. On January 10, 1995, the Company entered into an agreement with Epsitek, Inc., a Delaware corporation to acquire two subsidiaries of Epsitek as wholly owned subsidiaries of the Company. In conjunction with the acquisition, the Company issued 6,000,000 shares of common stock to Epsitek, which also appointed new directors and took control of the Company. Subsequently, Epsitek was unable to complete the conditions imposed for and at closing. The acquisition, therefore, did not occur and the shares issued in connection with the acquisition were returned to treasury and the board members of the Company appointed by Epsitek resigned. The Company then became engaged in the process of locating a merger and/or acquisition candidate. In that regard, the outstanding capital of the Company was reverse split on a one for 70 (1:70) basis, a class of preferred stock was created, the authorized common shares were increased to 100,000,000 in number with an adjusted par value of $.001 per share and the preferred shares were authorized at 10,000,000 in number with a par value of $.01. On December 1, 1999, the Company acquired S&J (Chatteris) Limited in a share for share exchange, issuing 12,000,000 post-split common shares to acquire the subsidiary. Please see the Form 8-KSB filed in this regard. Year 2000 Issues: The Company has evaluated all internal software against anticipated Year 2000 concerns, and believes, first, that its business will not be substantially affected, and, secondly, that it has no significant exposure to contingencies related to this from past business. The Company has upgraded all internal software and conducted testing on its information technology to further 2 ensure that all aspects of its business are Year 2000 compliant. These procedures had no material effect on the Company or its business contacts and did not require any material expenditures or other material diversion of resources. THE OFFERING Common Stock offered ................ 690,000 shares Common Stock outstanding ............ 15,000,000 shares Use of Proceeds ..................... We will not receive any consideration from the re-sale of the Common Stock, but will receive the consideration consideration to which we are entitled from the exercise of the options granted the Selling Stockholders. RISK FACTORS The statements in this Prospectus that are not descriptions of historical facts may be forward- looking statements that are subject to risks and uncertainties. In particular, statements in this Prospectus, including any material incorporated by reference in this Prospectus, that state our intentions, beliefs, expectations, strategies, predictions or any other statements relating to our future activities or other future events or conditions are forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements are subject to risks, uncertainties and other factors, including, but not limited to, those identified under Risk Factors, those described in Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Conditions and Results of Operations in our Form 10-KSB for the year ended December 31, 1998, and the Forms 10-QSB as of and for the periods ended March 31, 199, June 30, 1999, and September 30, 1999, and in any other filings which are incorporated by reference in this Prospectus, as well as general economic conditions, any one or more of which could cause actual results to differ materially from those stated in such statements. An investment in our Common Stock involves a high degree of risk. You should consider carefully, along with other factors, the following risks and consult with your own legal, tax and financial advisors. 1. History of Losses: We have had losses since our organization. 2. Need for Additional Working Capital: We believe that we will require substantial additional funds for working capital. We have no relationship with any financial institution for this purpose and are relying solely on the largesse of management and counsel. 3. Board of Directors Control: On the date of this prospectus, our directors and officers and certain principal stockholders and their affiliates beneficially owned (as defined by the Commission) in the aggregate sufficient shares of Common Stock to constitute control. Accordingly, they have the ability to influence significantly our affairs and matters requiring a stockholder vote, including the election of directors, the amendment of charter documents, the merger or dissolution of the Company and the sale of all or substantially all of our assets. The voting power of these holders may also discourage or prevent any proposed takeover of the Company pursuant to a tender offer. 4. Dividends on our Common Stock not Likely: We do not anticipate paying dividends on the Common Stock. We presently intend to retain future earnings, if any, in order to provide funds for use in the operation and expansion of our business and, accordingly, we do not anticipate paying cash dividends on the Common Stock in the foreseeable future. 5. Intense Competition: Competition among companies that provide services in the industries in which we are focused is intense. 6. Year 2000 Compliance: Many computer systems will experience problems handling dates beyond the year 1999; therefore, some computer hardware and software will need to be modified prior to the year 2000 in order to remain functional. We are presently assessing internal readiness of our computer systems. We believe we have successfully implemented the systems and programming changes necessary to address the 2000 issues, and do not believe that the cost of such actions will have a material and adverse effect on our results of operations or financial 3 condition. There can be no assurance, however, that there will not be a delay in, or increased costs associated with, the implementation of such changes. Our inability to implement such changes could have an adverse effect on future results of operations. 7. Penny Stock: The Common Stock is subject to additional sales practice requirements on broker-dealers which sell penny stock to persons other than established customers and institutional accredited investors. The broker-dealer must make a special suitability determination for the purchaser and have received the purchaser's written consent to the transaction prior to sale. Consequently, the rule may affect the price of the Common Stock and your ability to sell the stock. The Commission's regulations define a penny stock to be any equity security that has a market price which is less than $5.00 per share, subject to certain exceptions. The penny stock restrictions apply to our Common Stock. 8. Issuance of Additional Shares of Preferred Stock: The rights of the holders of Common Stock may be affected by the potential issuance of preferred stock. Our certificate of incorporation gives the board of directors the right to determine the designations, rights, preferences and privileges of the holders of one or more series of preferred stock. Accordingly, the board of directors is empowered, without stockholder approval, to issue preferred stock with voting, dividend, conversion, liquidation or other rights which could adversely affect the voting power and equity interest of the holders of Common Stock. Although we have no present intention to issue any additional shares of preferred stock or to create any additional series of preferred stock, we may issue shares in the future. 9. Change in Control Provisions: Our Bylaws and the Delaware General Corporation Law contain provisions that may have the effect of making more difficult or delaying attempts by others to obtain control of us, even when these attempts may be in the interests of stockholders. The Delaware General Corporation Law also imposes conditions on certain business combinations with interested stockholders (as defined by Delaware law). USE OF PROCEEDS We will not receive any proceeds from the sale of the Shares. BUSINESS CONSULTING AGREEMENTS/ ISSUANCE OF COMMON STOCK AND OPTIONS General: We previously entered into an agreement with our former sole executive officer and director. We would not otherwise have been able to obtain these services, and the services which were rendered are those which an employee in a larger organization would render on a full-time basis. The agreement provided for business consultation and advisory services of a nature which an employee would conduct for the Company. The Selling Stockholder has provided us with oral assurances that the services rendered did not directly or indirectly relate to the promotion and maintenance of a trading market for our Common Stock. Additionally, the Selling Stockholder has represented that the services provided were not be in connection with the offer of our securities in capital-raising transactions. Federal Income Tax Effects: Under the business consulting agreement pursuant to which the securities were issued, the exercise of the options resulted in the recognition of taxable income to the Selling Stockholder. Correspondingly, we will be entitled to a deduction equal to the amount of ordinary income charged to the Selling Stockholder. Restrictions under Securities Laws: The sale of any shares of Common Stock issued under the Agreement must be made in compliance with federal and state securities laws. Officers, directors and 10% or greater shareholders of the Company, as well as certain other persons or parties who may be deemed affiliates under federal securities laws, should be aware that resales by affiliates can only be made pursuant to an effective Registration Statement, Rule 144 or any other applicable exemption. SELLING STOCKHOLDERS The following table sets forth (i) the name and address of each Selling Stockholder; (ii) any position, office or other material relationship which he had with the Company or any of its affiliates during the last three years; (iii) the number of Shares owned by him prior to the offering; (iv) the number of Shares offered by him; (v) the number of Shares he would own if he exercised all 4 of his options and sells the Shares; and (vi) his percentage ownership of Common Stock if he sells all of his Shares. The Shares are being registered to permit public secondary trading of the Shares, and the Selling Stockholders may offer the Shares for resale from time to time. See Plan of Distribution.

The number of Shares owned by each person after the offering, assumes that such person sells all of his Shares. PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION The Selling Stockholder may sell the Shares from time to time in a transaction (which may include block transactions) on the Bulletin Board, in negotiated transactions or both. He may sell the Shares at fixed prices which may be changed, at market prices or in negotiated transactions, a combination of such methods of sale or otherwise. The Selling Stockholder may also transfer Shares by gift. The Selling Stockholder may not transfer his options except in case of death. The Selling Stockholder may sell the Shares directly to purchasers, through broker-dealers acting as agents for the Selling Stockholder or to broker-dealers who may purchase securities as principals for their own account. The Selling Stockholders may pay the broker-dealers a brokerage fee or a discount from the sales price. The purchaser of the Shares may also pay a brokerage fee or other charge. The compensation to a particular broker-dealer may exceed customary commissions. We do not know of any arrangements by any Selling Stockholder for the sale of any of the Shares. The Selling Stockholder and broker-dealers, if any, acting in connection with such sales might be deemed to be underwriters within the meaning of Section 2(11) of the Securities Act of 1933 and any commission received by them and any profit on the resale of the securities might be deemed to be underwriting discounts and commissions under the Securities Act. The Selling Stockholder understands that the anti-manipulative rules under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, which are set forth in Regulation M, may apply to their sales in the market. We have furnished the Selling Stockholder with a copy of Regulation M, and we have informed him that he should deliver a copy of this Prospectus when he sells any Shares.

INFORMATION REQUIRED IN THE REGISTRATION STATEMENT ITEM 3. INCORPORATION OF DOCUMENTS BY REFERENCE. Registrant is subject to the informational and reporting requirements of Sections 13(a), 13(c), 14 and 15(d) of the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, and, in accordance therewith, files reports, proxy statements and/or information statements and other information with the Securities and Exchange Commission (Commission). The following documents, which have been or will be subsequently, filed with the Commission are incorporated in this Registration Statement by reference: (a) annual report on Form 10-KSB for the year ended December 31, 1998; (b) quarterly reports on Form 10-QSB for the quarters ended March 31, 1998, June 30, 1999, and September 30, 1999; (c) all other reports filed pursuant to Section 13(a) or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 since the end of the fiscal year covered by the annual report or the prospectus referred to in (a) above; and (d) the description of the $.001 par value per share common stock of Registrant (Common Stock) contained in the Form 10 previously filed by Registrant under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, including any amendment or report filed for the purpose of updating such description.

ITEM 4. DESCRIPTION OF SECURITIES. Not applicable. ITEM 5. INTERESTS OF NAMED EXPERTS AND COUNSEL. None. ITEM 6. INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS. Under the Delaware General Corporation Law (GCL), a corporation may indemnify any director, officer, employee or agent against expense (including attorneys' fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement in connection with any specified, 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) if such person acted in good faith and in a manner such person reasonably believed to be in, or not opposed to, the best interests of the corporation and, with respect to any criminal proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe that his or her conduct was unlawful. Registrant's Articles of Incorporation provide for indemnification of directors and officers of the Registrant to the fullest extent permitted by the GCL. Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers or controlling persons of Registrant, pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, Registrant has been advised that, in the opinion of the Commission, such indemnification is against public policy, as expressed in the Securities Act of 1933 and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by Registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of Registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered hereunder, Registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel, the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction, the question of whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act of 1933 and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue. ITEM 7. EXEMPTION FROM REGISTRATION CLAIMED. Not applicable. ITEM 8. EXHIBITS. The Exhibit Index immediately preceding the exhibits is incorporated herein by reference. ITEM 9. UNDERTAKINGS. (a) The Registrant hereby undertakes: (1) To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this Registration Statement: (i) To include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act of 1933; (ii) To reflect in the Prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of the Registration Statement (or the most recent post-effective Amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in the Registration Statement; (iii) To include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the Registration Statement or any material change to such information in the registration statement; provided however, that paragraphs (a) (1) (i)and (a) (1) (ii) do not apply if the information required to be included in a post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is contained in periodic reports filed with or furnished to the Commission by the Registrant pursuant to Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 that are incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement. (2) That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new Registration Statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof. (3) To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering. (b) The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each filing of Registrant's annual report, pursuant to Section 13(a) or Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (and, where applicable, each filing of an employee benefit plan's annual report, pursuant to the Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) that is incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement shall be deemed to be a new Registration Statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof. (h) Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of Registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, Registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act of 1933 and is, therefore unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by Registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of Registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, Registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act of 1933 and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue. SIGNATURES Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, Registrant certifies that it has reasonable grounds to believe that it meets all of the requirements for filing on Form S-8 and has duly caused this Registration Statement to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned, thereunto duly authorized, in the City of Chatteris, Cambridgeshire on the 3rd day of December, 1999.

In arriving at the opinions set forth below, I have examined and relied upon originals or copies, certified or otherwise identified to my satisfaction, of all such corporate records and all such other instruments, documents and certificates of public officials, officers and representatives of the Company and of other persons and have made such investigations of law as I have considered necessary or appropriate as a basis for my opinions. Moreover, I have with your approval relied as to factual matters stated therein on the certificates of public officials, and I have assumed, but not independently verified, that the signatures on all documents which I have examined are genuine and that the persons signing such had the capacity to do so. This opinion further expressly assumes that the shares covered by the Registration Statement will be issued in conformity with the terms and conditions applicable thereto. Based upon and subject to the forgoing, I am of the opinion that the issuance and sale of the stock in this offering have been duly and validly authorized and upon delivery to the shareholders in accordance with the terms and conditions of the exhibits to the Form S-8 will have been duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid for and nonassessable. I am admitted to practice before the Bar of the State of Colorado only. I am not admitted to practice in any other jurisdiction in which the Company may own property or transact business. My opinions herein are with respect to federal law only and, to the extent my opinions are derived from laws of other jurisdictions, are based upon an examination of relevant authorities and are believed to be correct, but I have not directly obtained legal opinions as to such matters from attorneys licensed in such other jurisdictions. My opinions are qualified to the extent that the enforcement of rights and remedies are subject to bankruptcy, insolvency and other laws of general application affecting the rights and remedies of creditors and security holders and to the extent that the availability of the remedy of specific enforcement or of injunctive relieve is subject to the discretion of the court before which any proceeding thereof may be brought. This opinion is furnished by me to you as counsel for the Company and it is solely for your benefit. This opinion is not to be used, circulated, quoted or otherwise referred to for any other purpose, other than as set forth in my consent to the use of the same in the Form S-8.
