ITEM 1.

DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS

 

Our company was incorporated, as Jerry’s Inc., in the State of Florida on November 30, 1942. The company ceased operations in 1998 and remained dormant until March of 2004 when we moved our domicile to Nevada and changed our name to Diamond Ranch Foods, Ltd. Although the company ceased operations and filed a Form NTN 10K stating that certain information could not be obtained to file their Form 10-K for the year ended September 30, 1997, certain filing requirements became due at that time and throughout the period of our dormancy. Previous management did not complete the required filings and as a result Jerry’s Inc. was delinquent in its duty to file. Recently we filed a Form 15 in an effort to deal with the delinquent filings that became our responsibility as the surviving corporation after our merger. Form 15 has the effect of terminating the old registration of Jerry’s Inc. while new reporting requirements will take effect as a result of this Form 10-SB.

 

We are engaged in the meat processing and distribution industry. Our operations consist of packing, processing, custom meat cutting, portion controlled meats, private labeling, and distribution of our products to a diversified customer base, including, but not limited to; in-home food service businesses, retailers, hotels, restaurants and institutions, deli and catering operators, and industry suppliers.

 

We became the distributor and processor of the “All American Hamburger” and other meat products through the acquisition of MBC Foods, Inc., a second-generation family owned business on May 1, 2004.

 

In addition to servicing our customers with a full line of fresh meats, we also produce private-labeled and “branded” hot dogs and meats for the Hebrew National ? Deli line in the New York Metropolitan area, as well as private-label Sabrett ? Hamburgers for Marathon Foods.

 

Our company is located at 555 West Street, New York, NY 10014.

 

HISTORY AND COMPANY DEVELOPMENT

 

Our company was originally incorporated in the State of Florida in 1942 as Jerry’s Inc. In 2004 we moved our domicile to Nevada and changed our corporate name to Diamond Ranch Foods, Ltd,

 

On May 1, 2004 we issued 31,607,650 restricted shares of common stock and acquired MBC Foods, Inc as a wholly owned subsidiary.

 

We have undergone no bankruptcy, receivership or similar proceedings.

 

The cash flow from operations is sufficient to fund capital requirements. However, we will seek to raise additional capital through the sale of common stock to fund the expansion of our company. There can be no assurance that we will be successful in raising the capital required and without additional funds we would be unable to expand our plant, acquire other companies, or exponentially increase our sales volume.

 

PRODUCTS AND SERVICES

 

Our operations are centrally located in the Gansevoort district of New York City, which is located near our current client base and potential new customers.

 

Products

 

We offer the following products, which we can prepare either fresh, frozen, or vacuum-packed:

 

All-American Hamburger : We offer a proprietary-formulated hamburger called the All American Hamburger. Sizes range from 2 oz. to 12 oz. and come in round, oval, or square, as well as custom shapes.

Custom Cuts and Butchering

 

Our butchers can process any meats as either traditional cuts or custom orders according to customer specifications. We specialize in timely delivery and service of such custom products, which can include steaks, chops and other meats, with selections from fresh or frozen packaging.

 

Private Labeling

 

Our designers can custom design any type of package to fit our clients’ and their products’ needs. We are able to produce small or large quantities of our customers’ products so as not to alienate potential customers by the size of their business.

 

Distribution

 

Our fleet of refrigerated trucks delivers orders throughout the NY Metropolitan area. We can also ship anywhere from coast to coast via common carrier, including Hawaii, Alaska and Canada.

 

Our delivery truck fleet consists of six (6) vehicles described as follows:

2001 Mitsubishi FEHD Truck

2002 UD Nissan 1400

2003 GMC 4500

2004 Mitsubishi FH 210T

Band Saws

Hamburger Formation Machines

Grinders

Overwrap Machines

Stainless Steel Tables

Digital Scales

 

4

 



 

 

Pallet Jacks

Platform Scales

 

All of the refrigeration equipment, a combination of approximately 10 compressor units contained within the premises, is owned by the Company.

 

Safety

 

In order to meet the public’s expectation for safe food produced in a competitive market environment, we safeguard our products to prevent food safety hazards by adhering to the USDA’s Hazard Analysis of Critical Control Points (HACCP) system. Through the years, we have attempted to preserve our reputation and branded products by addressing the vital components of meat processing, such as sanitary plant conditions, regulated processing controls, observance of USDA inspections, and constant monitoring of procedures and standards to guarantee that our systems meet the increasing demands of our customers.

 

Customers

 

Our customers include:

 

J.P. Morgan Chase Executive Dining Room

TGI Friday’s

Madison Square Garden

Houlihan’s

Boulder Creek Steak Houses

Dallas BBQ

The Old Drover’s Inn

Memorial Sloan Kettering Hospital

The Hilton Group

Mickey Mantle’s Steak House

Sparks Steak House

 

We manufacture and private label quality meats for local supermarkets including:

 

A&P Food Basic Stores

Farmer John’s

Key Foods

Associated Food Stores

 

Competition

 

Our competition can be divided into two (2) primary categories. First, there are the large full line foodservice distributors, such as US Foodservice, Sysco Foods, DiCarlo Distributors, Landmark, and J. Kings. Second, there are the smaller independent jobbers.

 

Our advantages over the large foodservice distributors are as follows:

 

1)

We have an USDA inspected facility with daily fresh custom cutting of all meats and daily fresh manufacturing of the All American Burger.

 

2)

We make available daily deliveries with less stringent minimum order amounts. Many restaurants in the inner city do not have enough refrigerator or freezer storage space affording them a minimum of 2-3 deliveries per week.

 

3)

We have the flexibility within our location for customers to make “last minute” call-in orders for the same day delivery or second same day deliveries for emergency situations. We have no cut-off times.

 

 

 

5

 



 

 

4)

We purchase our raw product on a daily basis. This allows us to react much faster to fluctuation in market conditions whereby the larger foodservice houses cannot because of enormous inventories.

 

5)

Our overall overhead is lower. The cost of our operations in proportion to our sales volume affords us the ability to be price competitive.

 

Our advantages over the small independent jobbers are as follows:

 

1)

Since we operate an USDA inspected warehouse that enables us to custom cut and manufacture, we have the ability to eliminate the “middle man” in the chain of supply. We benefit with the additional gross profit because we also act as a supplier of our custom cut, manufactured goods to the independent jobber.

                                                                                                                                                                                       

2)

We have a facility to store inventory. This allows us to “buy in” during favorable market conditions and thus, be more price competitive.

 

3)

The location of our facility allows us to satisfy last minute and emergency orders. Once the independent jobber vacates the “Meat Market” premises, he is incapable of filling any additional deliveries or providing service to his customers.

 

4)

We have the ability to distribute to large retail accounts based on our USDA Inspection and Product Liability Insurance. We can offer private labeling and custom packaging to any retail chain.

 

RISK FACTORS

 

An investment in our securities is highly speculative, involves a high degree of risk and is suitable only for investors with substantial means who can bear the economic risk of the investment for an indefinite period of time, have no need for liquidity of the investment, and have adequate means of providing for their current needs and contingencies. An investment in the securities should be made only by persons able to bear the risk in the event the investment results in a total loss.

 

1.) RISK OF LOSS OF INVESTMENT DUE TO HIGHLY COMPETITIVE NATURE OF OUR INDUSTRY.

 

A majority of the meat packing industry is dominated by four multinational firms. Consolidation and low-cost labor have helped these firms dominate the U.S. industry. Labor cuts by these conglomerates have been due to a decline in unionization and increase in the use of immigrant workers. Potential customers may overlook the Company’s products and services because of their inability to institute competitive pricing, availability, and favorable delivery methods as compared to those services provided by the dominant industry players.

 

2.) RISK OF DEPENDENCE ON KEY PERSONNEL.

 

The Company is dependent on its present officers and directors, primarily Joseph Maggio, Chairman and CEO. The success of the company is dependent on Mr. Maggio and his management team. Should one or more of these individuals cease to be affiliated with the Company before acceptable replacements are found, there could be a material adverse effect on the Company’s business and prospects. We depend substantially on the continued services and performance of our senior management and, in particular, their contracts and relationships, especially within the meat, poultry, and food businesses.

 

3.) RISK OF LOSS OF AVAILABILITY OF RAW MATERIALS.

 

The success of the business is contingent on a variety of external factors, such as the availability of healthy livestock at reasonable market prices. The possible introduction of disease into the U.S. national cattle herd, whether unintentionally or as a terrorist act, has been a recent consideration by the Department of Homeland Security (DHS). The U.S. slaughters about 35 million head of cattle per year and is the world’s largest beef producing country. Should serious disease occur, no matter how dangerous to human health, the results could be catastrophic to the U.S. economy, as well as a possible cessation of business operations for an undetermined period of time.

 

 

6

 



 

 

4.) RISK OF ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS AND BUSINESS CLIMATE.

 

We are a small to medium-sized processing facility, and we rely on custom manufacturing for area restaurants and growing niche markets of consumers desiring locally-produced foods for revenue. Customers rely on the consistency in both quantity and quality of the company’s products and should that diminish in any way, they could seek products from the competition. Such a loss in sales could effect our revenues and our ability to continue operations.

 

5.) RISKS OF REDUCED LIQUIDITY OF “PENNY STOCKS.”

 

The Securities and Exchange Commission has adopted regulations that generally define a “penny stock” as any equity security that has a market price of less than $5.00 per share and that is not traded on a national stock exchange, NASDAQ or the NASDAQ National Market System. Now, or sometime in the future, penny stocks could be removed from NASDAQ or the NASDAQ National Market System or the securities may become subject to rules of the Commission that impose additional sales practice requirements on broker-dealers effecting transactions in penny stocks. In most instances, unless the purchaser is either (i) an institutional accredited investor, (ii) the issuer, (iii) a director, officer, general partner or beneficial owner of more than five percent (5 %) of any class of equity security of the issuer of the any stock that is the subject of the transaction, or (iv) an established customer of the broker-dealer, the broker-dealer must make a special suitability determination for the purchase of such securities and have received the purchaser’s prior written consent to the transaction. Additionally, on any transaction involving a penny stock, the rules of the Commission require, among other things, the delivery, prior to the transaction, of a disclosure schedule prepared by the Commission relating to the penny stock market and the risks associated with investing in penny stocks. The broker dealer also must disclose the commissions payable to both the broker-dealer and registered representative and current quotations for the securities. Finally, among other requirements, monthly statements must be sent to the purchaser of the penny stock disclosing recent price information for the penny stock held in the purchaser’s account and information on the limited market in penny stocks. Consequently, the penny stock rules may restrict the ability of broker-dealers to sell the securities and may affect the ability of purchasers in this Registration Statement to sell the securities in the secondary market.

 

GOVERNMENT APPROVAL & REGULATION

 

We have filed Grants of Inspection with the U.S. Department of Agriculture and are approved to operate as an USDA certified meat processing establishment. We currently operate as establishment number “EST. 5099” as indicated inside the USDA mark of inspection displayed on all of our processed meat items and establishment number “EST. P-20622” for our processed poultry items. The USDA considers our business a “Small Plant” operation since we employ a staff of 20-500 personnel.

 

We adhere to the Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Point (HACCP) system established by the USDA and endorsed by the National Academy of Sciences and the National Advisory Committee on Microbiological Criteria for Foods. The HACCP approach is a system of checks and balances that focuses on identifying and preventing hazards from contaminating food, permits more efficient and effective government oversight on establishments and their compliance of food safety laws on a continuing basis, while placing responsibility on the food manufacturer or distributor for ensuring appropriate food safety.

 

We comply with the USDA Label Regulations on all packages, containers, and boxes used to transport any meat and/or poultry products; including, but not limited to: Product Name, Product Description, Ingredients, and Nutrition Facts Panel.

 

Furthermore, we must comply with the Standard Sanitation Operational Procedures (SSOP) that we have developed in accordance with the USDA to prevent direct contamination or adulteration of our products. The SSOPs are implemented and maintained on a daily basis and are relevant to the entire establishment and all shifts of operation. The SSOPs are signed and dated by the individual with overall authority on-site or a member of our management team and are verified for adherence by a USDA certified inspector.

 

We are a federally-recognized establishment, thus, inspections by a USDA certified inspector occur on a daily basis.

 

We are not subject to inspection by any city or state authority.

RESEARCH & DEVELOPMENT

 

We anticipate incurring material research and development costs during the next 12 months which we will pay for by selling our common stock. Additionally, we anticipate the acquisition or sale of material property, plant or equipment during the next 12 months. We have acquired the assets and assumed the liabilities estimated at a fair value of $25,950 when we acquired MBC Foods, Inc. during the first quarter ended June 30, 2004.

 

EMPLOYEES

 

We currently have twenty-nine (29) paid full-time employees. We assess employee relations to be exceptional. Mr. Maggio, our Chief Executive Officer, and the rest of the management team, devote one hundred percent (100%) of their professional time to running our company. We do not anticipate hiring new paid full-time employees within the next twelve months. However, we would consider hiring commission-based salespeople should the opportunity arise.

 

ITEM 2.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OR PLAN OF OPERATION

 

We began generating revenues in May 2004 upon acquiring 100% of the issued and outstanding shares of capital stock of MBC Foods, Inc. Prior to May 2004, we had no active operations and had incurred a net loss of approximately $49,603 for the year ended March 31, 2004.

 

Audited comparisons of results of operations and financial position can be made upon year end on March 31, 2005.

Sales

 

Our revenues from operations for the nine months ended December 31, 2004 were $7,722,543, and were generated from the sale of our meat products and services.

 

Cost of Sales and Gross Profit

 

Our cost of sales for the nine months ended December 31, 2004 was $5,548,016, generating a gross profit of $2,174,527 (28.16%).

 

Our business activities and exposure in the competitive marketplace have favorably evolved from quarter-to-quarter causing our gross profit to steadily increase. We have operated on the same margins with no changes in the types of

 

8

 



 

products sold or services provided from one period to the next. We attribute our growth to new customers and sales accounts and a higher volume of products being sold through these means. The addition to our customer base was achieved by increased sales efforts made by our management team through standard marketing procedures, such as in-person sales visits and demonstrations and “warm” referrals through existing clientele.

 

For the next twelve months we plan to operate the business using our current methods. We are able to satisfy our cash requirements, material commitments, and applicable filing fees anticipated under our obligations of the Exchange Act. We will not have to raise additional funds in the next twelve months for operating expenses. We expect to become profitable within this time period based on our current growth trend. If sales continue to incline, we may elect to purchase/lease one (1) or more pieces of new equipment depending on inflated product demand. However, no new equipment is necessary to satisfy current operations or anticipated sales order increases within the next twelve months.

 

We will need to raise additional funds should management be desirous in acquiring existing like-minded businesses. Such candidates have been sought out, however no definitive agreements exist.

 

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

 

We have no off-balance sheet arrangements.

 

ITEM 3.

DESCRIPTION OF PROPERTY

 

We lease our operating facility from the City of New York on a month-to-month basis. The facility consists of 7,000 sq. ft. with two (2) loading docks on each side of the plant and a separate poultry section.

 

We have targeted several businesses for acquisition in New York City. We would acquire 100% of the stock and operations of these entities, including, without limitation, all rights, title know-how, assignment of property leases, equipment, furnishings, inventories, processes, trade names, trademarks, goodwill, and other assets of every nature used in the entities’ operations.

 

All of the facilities that are intended for acquisition are centrally located within the historic Gansevoort market in lower Manhattan, thus affording the company to capitalize on the economies of scale for delivery, purchasing, and other daily operating responsibilities.

 

If we were successful in raising funds through the sale of our common stock, and were able to enter into negotiations for the purchase of any and/or all of the selected like-minded businesses, we intend to continue operations in such facilities while maintaining their current principals to continue the day-to-day operations.

 

No negotiations have taken place, and no contracts have been entered into to purchase any such properties as described herein. We assume that if such purchase(s) were to be completed, funds would be required to renovate the existing facilities, as well as improve or replace machinery as prescribed by the existing landlord or pursuant to USDA regulation.

Pursuant to the rules of the Commission, in calculating percentage ownership, each person is deemed to beneficially own shares subject to options or warrants exercisable within 60 days of the date of this Filing, but shares subject to options or warrants owned by others (even if exercisable within 60 days) are deemed not to be outstanding.

 

Changes in Control

Audit Committee Financial Expert

 

The Company’s board of directors does not have an “audit committee financial expert,” within the meaning of such phrase under applicable regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission, serving on its audit committee. The board of directors believes that all members of its audit committee are financially literate and experienced in business matters, and that one or more members of the audit committee are capable of (i) understanding generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) and financial statements, (ii) assessing the general application of GAAP principles in connection with our accounting for estimates, accruals and reserves, (iii) analyzing and evaluating our financial statements, (iv) understanding our internal controls and procedures for financial reporting; and (v) understanding audit committee functions, all of which are attributes of an audit committee financial expert. However, the board of directors believes that there is not any audit committee member who has obtained these attributes through the experience specified in the SEC’s definition of “audit committee financial expert.” Further, like many small companies, it is difficult for the Company to attract and retain board members who qualify as “audit committee financial experts,” and competition for these individuals is significant. The board believes that its current audit committee is able to fulfill its role under SEC regulations despite not having a designated “audit committee financial expert.”

CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS

 

MBC Foods, Inc., founded and incorporated in 1999, employed Joseph Maggio, Chairman, CEO and Director, Louis Vucci, President and Director, Philip Serlin, COO and Director, William DeMarzo, CFO, and Paul Aloisio, Executive Vice President. MBC Foods, Inc. was acquired by Diamond Ranch Foods, Ltd. on May 1, 2004. Pursuant to the acquisition, we issued these officers, and directors John Maggio and Henry Guerra, 28,000,000 common shares out of the total 31,607,650 restricted common shares issued in exchange for their interest in MBC Foods, Inc.

 

To the best of our knowledge, there are no other transactions involving any Director, Executive Officer, any nominee for election as a Director or Officer, or any 5% shareholder who is a beneficial owner or any member of the immediate family of the same.

During the quarter ended December 31, 2004, shareholders have paid general and administrative expenses on behalf of the Company. These payments have been recorded as liabilities and as shareholder loans to the Company. The Shareholder Loans contributed by shareholders totaled $150,300.

 

During the quarter ended December 31, 2004, Berkshire Capital Management Co., Inc., a shareholder, loaned the Company $360,000. The note is payable in lump-sum including interest at 5% on September 30, 2009. Interest on the notes began accruing on September 30, 2004. We considered the terms of this loan to be more beneficial than any other loans that might have been available from third parties at that time.

 

ITEM 8.

DESCRIPTION OF SECURITIES

 

Common or Preferred Stock

 

There are no securities being offered under this Registration Statement. We are authorized by our Articles of Incorporation to issue 500,000,000 shares of common stock, $0.0001 par value. Our common stock is traded on the “Pink Sheets” under the symbol “DFDR”.

 

We have issued and outstanding 56,421,150 shares of common stock. Holders of the common stock are entitled to one vote per share on all matters subject to shareholder vote. If the Board of Directors were to declare a dividend out of funds legally available therefore, all of the outstanding shares of common stock would be entitled to receive such dividend ratably. We have never declared a dividend and we do not intend to declare a dividend in the foreseeable future. If our business was liquidated or dissolved, holders of shares of common stock would be entitled to share ratably in assets remaining after satisfaction of our liabilities and redemption of preferred shares, if any. Holders of common stock do not have preemption rights.

 

We have no preferred stock issued at this time.

 

Change in Control Provisions

 

We are unaware of any contract or other arrangement, the operation of which may, at a subsequent date, result in a change in control of our Company. Presently in the by-laws there are no provisions that could delay a change in control of the Company.

 

Debt Securities

 

There are no debt securities being offered under this Registration Statement.

We anticipate making an application to the NASD to have our shares quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board after this Form 10-SB Registration Statement is deemed effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). Our application to the NASD will consist of current corporate information, financial statements and other documents as required by Rule 15c2-11 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and the OTC Bulletin Board Eligibility Rule (NASD Rules 6530 and 6540). Inclusion on the OTC Bulletin Board permits price quotations for our shares to be published by such service.

 

Secondary trading of our shares may be subject to certain state imposed restrictions.

 

The ability of individual shareholders to trade their shares in a particular state may be subject to various rules and regulations of that state. A number of states require that an issuer’s securities be registered in their state or appropriately exempted from registration before the securities are permitted to trade in that state.

 

From time-to-time we may grant options or warrants, or promise registration rights to certain shareholders. We have no control over the number of shares of our common stock that our shareholders sell. The price of our common stock may be adversely affected if large amounts are sold in a short period of time.

 

Our shares most likely will be subject to the provisions of Section 15(g) and Rule 15g-9 of the Exchange Act, commonly referred to as the “penny stock” rule. Section 15(g) sets forth certain requirements for transactions in penny stocks and Rule 15g-9(d)(1) incorporates the definition of penny stock as that used in Rule 3a51-1 of the Exchange Act.

 

The SEC generally defines penny stock to be any equity security that has a market price less than $5.00 per share, subject to certain exceptions. Rule 3a51-1 provides that any equity security is considered to be a penny stock unless that security is: registered and traded on a national securities exchange meeting specified criteria set by the SEC; authorized for quotation on The NASDAQ Stock Market; issued by a registered investment company; excluded from the definition on the basis of price (at least $5.00 per share) or the issuer’s net tangible assets; or exempted from the definition by the SEC. Broker-dealers who sell penny stocks to persons other than established customers and accredited investors (generally persons with assets in excess of $1,000,000 or annual income exceeding $200,000, or $300,000 together with their spouse), are subject to additional sales practice requirements.

 

For transactions covered by these rules, broker-dealers must make a special suitability determination for the purchase of such securities and must have received the purchaser’s written consent to the transaction prior to the purchase. Additionally, for any transaction involving a penny stock, unless exempt, the rules require the delivery, prior to the first transaction, of a risk disclosure document relating to the penny stock market. A broker-dealer also must disclose the commissions payable to both the broker-dealer and the registered representative, and current quotations for the securities. Finally, monthly statements must be sent to clients disclosing recent price information for the penny stocks held in the account and information on the limited market in penny stocks. Consequently, these rules may restrict the ability of broker-dealers to trade and/or maintain a market in our common stock and may affect the ability of shareholders to sell their shares.

 

As of March 11, 2005, there were approximately 535 holders of record of our common stock. This number does not include an indeterminate number of shareholders whose shares are held by brokers in street name.

 

Transfer Agent

 

We have appointed Signature Stock Transfer, Inc., with offices at 2301 Ohio Drive, Suite 100, Plano, TX 75093, phone number 972-612-4120, as transfer agent for our shares of common stock. The transfer agent is responsible for all record-keeping and administrative functions in connection with the common shares and stock warrants.

 

Dividend Policy

 

We have never declared or paid any cash dividends on our common stock and do not expect to declare or pay any cash dividends in the foreseeable future.

ITEM 2.

LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

 

We know of no material, active or pending legal proceedings against our company, nor are we involved as a plaintiff in any material proceeding or pending litigation. There are no proceedings in which any of our directors, officers or affiliates, or any registered or beneficial shareholder, is an adverse party or has a material interest adverse to our interest.

 

ITEM 3.

CHANGES IN AND DISAGREEMENTS WITH ACCOUNTANTS.

 

There have been no changes in or disagreements with our accountants.

 

ITEM 4.

RECENT SALES OF UNREGISTERED SECURITIES

 

On May 1, 2004, we issued 31,607,650 restricted shares of common stock to acquire MBC Foods, Inc. As of May 1, 2004, MBC Foods, Inc. is a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company. The securities were issued in reliance upon the exemption provided in Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933.

 

On June 3, 2004 we completed a private sale of $6,000 in principal to individual accredited investors in accordance with the laws of the State of Texas. Twenty-four million (24,000,000) shares of the Company’s common stock were sold at a price of $0.00025 per share to ten (10) investors. The securities were issued in reliance upon the exemption provided in Rule 139.16 of the Texas Securities Code. Adopted in 1995, the rule exempts from the securities registration requirements of the Act, as amended, the sale of securities, by the issuer itself or by a registered dealer, to individual accredited investors. Although the rule is designed to stand alone, it coordinates with Rule 504 under Regulation D promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933.

 

All investors that participated in the offering were by definition “individual accredited investors” and eligible to partake in the purchase of shares in reliance upon Rule 139.16 of the Texas Securities Code, whereas the offered shares were exempt from registration and were issued without any restrictive transfer legend. Pursuant to Rule 139.16(e), we publicly filed a disclosure document with the Texas State Securities Board and furnished the same to the accredited investors. Included in the disclosure document were all statements required or permitted to be included under this ruling.

 

On June 24, 2004, the Company issued 600,000 shares of common stock for $0.00025 per share in return for investor relation services.

 

On July 8, 2004, the Company issued 200,000 shares of common stock for $0.00025 per share in return for an independent research report.

 

ITEM 5.

INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS

 

DISCLOSURE OF COMMISSION POSITION OF INDEMNIFICATION FOR SECURITIES ACT LIABILITIES

 

Our Articles of Incorporation permit us to limit the liability of our directors to the fullest extent permitted under Section 78.037 of the Nevada General Corporation Law. As permitted by Section 78.037 of the Nevada General Corporation Law, our Bylaws and Articles of Incorporation also include provisions that eliminate the personal liability of each of its officers and directors for any obligations arising out of any acts or conduct of such officer or director performed for or on behalf of the Company. To the fullest extent allowed by Section 78.751 of the Nevada General Corporation Law, we will defend, indemnify and hold harmless its directors or officers from and against any and all claims, judgments and liabilities to which each director or officer becomes subject to in connection with the performance of his or her duties and will reimburse each such director or officer for all legal and other expenses reasonably incurred in connection with any such claim of liability. However, we will not indemnify any officer or director against, or reimburse for, any expense incurred in connection with any claim or liability arising out of the officer’s or director’s own negligence or misconduct in the performance of duty.

 

 

16

 



 

 

The provisions of our Bylaws and Articles of Incorporation regarding indemnification are not exclusive of any other right we have to indemnify or reimburse our officers or directors in any proper case, even if not specifically provided for in our Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws.

 

We believe that the indemnity provisions contained in our bylaws and the limitation of liability provisions contained in our certificate of incorporation are necessary to attract and retain qualified persons for these positions. No pending material litigation or proceeding involving our directors, executive officers, employees or other agents as to which indemnification is being sought exists, and we are not aware of any pending or threatened material litigation that may result in claims for indemnification by any of our directors or executive officers.

 

Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers or persons controlling us pursuant to the foregoing provisions, we have been informed that, in the opinion of the SEC, such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is therefore unenforceable.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT

To the Board of Directors and ShareholdersDiamond
Ranch Foods, Ltd.(Formerly
MBC Food Corpration)

        We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of Diamond Ranch Foods, Ltd. (Formerly MBC Food Corpration) as of March 31, 2004 and 2003 and the related statements of income, stockholders equity, and cash flows for the years then ended. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Diamond Ranch Foods, Ltd.(Formerly MBC Food Corpration) management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.

        We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

        In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Diamond Ranch Foods, Ltd. (Formerly MBC Food Corpration) as of March 31, 2004 and 2003, and the results of its operations, stockholders’ equity and its cash flows for the years ended March 31, 2004 and 2003 and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years then ended with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

F-1


        The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 1 to the financial statements, the Company has suffered recurring losses from operations and has a net capital deficiency that raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

THE YEARS ENDED MARCH 31, 2004 AND 2003 AND THE NINE MONTHS
ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2004 AND 2003 (Unaudited)

NOTE 1 — NATURE OF OPERATIONS AND GOING CONCERN

        The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, which contemplates the Company as a going concern. However, the Company has sustained substantial operating losses in recent years and has used substantial amounts of working capital in its operations. Realization of a major portion of the assets reflected on the accompanying balance sheet is dependent upon continued operations of the Company which, in turn, is dependent upon the Company’s ability to meet its financing requirements and succeed in its future operations. Management believes that actions presently being taken to revise the Company’s operating and financial requirements provide them with the opportunity for the Company to continue as a going concern.

        These financial statements do not reflect adjustments that would be necessary if the Company were unable to continue as a “going concern”. While management believes that the actions already taken or planned, will mitigate the adverse conditions and events which raise doubt about the validity of the “going concern” assumption used in preparing these financial statements, there can be no assurance that these actions will be successful.

        If the Company were unable to continue as a “going concern”, then substantial adjustments would be necessary to the carrying values of assets, the reported amounts of its liabilities, the reported revenues and expenses, and the balance sheet classifications used.

Organization and Basis of Presentation

        The Company was incorporated under the laws of the State of Florida on November 30, 1942 under the name Jerry’s Inc. The Company ceased all operating activities during the period from January 1, 1998 to March 8, 2004 and was considered dormant. On March 8, 2004 the Company changes its domicile to the State of Nevada. On March 30, 2004, the company changed its name to Diamond Ranch Foods, Ltd.

        On May 1, 2004, the shareholders of the Diamond Ranch Foods, Ltd. (formerly Jerry’s Inc.) completed a stock purchase agreement with MBC Foods, Inc., a Nevada corporation. The merger was accounted for as a reverse merger, with MBC Foods, Inc. being treated as the acquiring entity for financial reporting purposes. In connection with this merger, Diamond Ranch Foods, Ltd.(formerly Jerry’s Inc.) issued 31,607,650 shares of common stock in exchange for the 100% of the issued and outstanding shares of capital stock of MBC Foods, Inc..

        For financial reporting purposes, Diamond Ranch Foods, Ltd.(formerly Jerry’s Inc.) was considered the new reporting entity .

Interim Reporting

        The unaudited financial statements as of December 31, 2004 and for the three and nine month period then ended reflect, in the opinion of management, all adjustments (which include only normal recurring adjustments) necessary to fairly state the financial position and results of operations for the three and nine months. Operating results for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results which can be expected for full years.

Nature of Business

        The Company is a meat processing and distribution company located in the historic Gansevoort “meatpacking district” in lower Manhattan, NY. The Companies operations consist of packing, processing, labeling, and distributing products to a customer base, including, but not limited to; in-home food service businesses, retailers, hotels, restaurants, and institutions, deli and catering operators, and industry suppliers.

NOTE 2 — SUMMARY OF ACCOUNTING POLICIES

        This summary of accounting policies for Diamond Ranch Foods, Ltd.(formerly Jerry’s Inc.) is presented to assist in understanding the Company’s financial statements. The accounting policies conform to generally accepted accounting principles and have been consistently applied in the preparation of the financial statements.

Use of Estimates

        The financial statements are prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. In preparing the financial statements, management is required to make estimates and assumptions that effect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the balance sheet and statement of operations for the year then ended. Actual results may differ from these estimates. Estimates are used when accounting for allowance for bad debts, collectibility of accounts receivable, amounts due to service providers, depreciation and litigation contingencies, among others.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

        For purposes of the statement of cash flows, the Company considers all highly liquid debt instruments purchased with a maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents to the extent the funds are not being held for investment purposes.

Income Taxes

        The Company accounts for income taxes under the provisions of SFAS No.109, “Accounting for Income Taxes.” SFAS No.109 requires recognition of deferred income tax assets and liabilities for the expected future income tax consequences, based on enacted tax laws, of temporary differences between the financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities.

        The Company does not have any accumulated comprehensive income items, and therefore, is not required to report comprehensive income.

Inventory

        Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market.

Advertising

        Advertising costs are expensed as incurred.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

        In June 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) 141, Business Combinations , and SFAS 142, Goodwill and Intangible Assets . SFAS 141 is effective for all business combinations completed after June 30, 2001. SFAS 142 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2001; however, certain provisions of this Statement apply to goodwill and other intangible assets acquired between July 1, 2001 and the effective date of SFAS 142. Major provisions of these Statements and their effective dates for the Company are as follows:

  (a) All business combinations initiated after June 30, 2001 must use the purchase method of accounting. The pooling of interests method of accounting is prohibited except for transactions initiated before July 1, 2001.

  (b) Intangible assets acquired in a business combination must be recorded separately from goodwill if they arise from contractual or other legal rights or are separable from the acquired entity and can be sold, transferred, licensed, rented or exchanged, either individually or as part of a related contract, asset or liability.

  (c) Goodwill, as well as intangible assets with indefinite lives, acquired after June 30, 2001, will not be amortized.

  (d) Effective January 1, 2002, all previously recognized goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite lives will no longer be subject to amortization.

  (e) Effective January 1, 2002, goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite lives will be tested for impairment annually and whenever there is an impairment indicator.

  (f) Effective January 1, 2002, the useful life of intangible assets with finite lives will be evaluated each reporting period to determine whether events and circumstances warrant a revision to the remaining period of amortization.

  (g) All acquired goodwill must be assigned to reporting units for purposes of impairment testing and segment reporting.

        On April 1, 2003, the Company adopted SFAS 142 and as required, the useful lives of the customer lists were evaluated and the remaining amortization periods adjusted accordingly. Prior to the adoption of SFAS 142, the Company amortized the customer lists over an estimated useful life of fifteen years. Since the adoption of SFAS 142, the Company amortizes the customer lists over an estimated useful life of five years.

NOTE 3 — INCOME TAXES

        As of March 31, 2004, the Company had a net operating loss carryforward for income tax reporting purposes of approximately $1,750,000 that may be offset against future taxable income through 2024. Current tax laws limit the amount of loss available to be offset against future taxable income when a substantial change in ownership occurs. Therefore, the amount available to offset future taxable income may be limited. No tax benefit has been reported in the financial statements, because the Company believes there is a 50% or greater chance the carry-forwards will expire unused. Accordingly, the potential tax benefits of the loss carry-forwards are offset by a valuation allowance of the same amount.

NOTE 4 — OPERATING LEASE COMMITMENTS

The Companies operating facility is a New York City owned property consisting of 7,000 sq. ft. The Company leases the space on a month-to-month basis.

        Total lease expense for the year ended March 31, 2004 and 2003 was $81,864 and $81,864.

         not, by statute or by the Articles of Incorporation or by these Bylaws,
         directed or required to be exercised or done by the Shareholders.

         shareholders,  except as provided in Bylaw 3.03 and 3.05. Each Director

         his election.

3.03     CHANGE IN NUMBER. The number of Directors may be increased or decreased
         from time to time by  amendment  to the Bylaws,  but no decrease  shall

         directorship  to be filled by reason of an  increase  in the  number of
         Directors  shall be  filled  by the  Board of  Directors  for a term of
         office continuing only until the next election of one or more Directors
         by the Shareholders;  provided that the Board of Directors may not fill
         more than two such  directorships  during  the period  between  any two
         successive annual meetings of Shareholders.

         remaining  Directors  though  less  than  a  quorum  of  the  Board  of
         Directors.

         term of his predecessor in office,  except that a vacancy occurring due

         Directors  shall be held without further notice  immediately  following

         otherwise  expressly  provided  by  statute,  or  by  the  Articles  of
         Incorporation,   or  by  these  Bylaws,  neither  the  business  to  be
         transacted at, nor the purpose of, any special  meeting of the Board of
         Directors need be specified in a notice or waiver of notice.

3.11     MAJORITY VOTE. At all meetings of the Board of Directors, a majority of
         the number of Directors then elected and qualified  shall  constitute a
         quorum for the  transaction  of business.  The act of a majority of the
         Directors  present at any meeting at which a quorum is present shall be
         the act of the Board of  Directors,  except as  otherwise  specifically

         is present.

         Each  Director  who is  present  at a  meeting  will be  deemed to have
         assented to any action taken at such meeting  unless his dissent to the
         action is entered in the  minutes of the meeting or unless he files his
         written  dissent  thereto with the Secretary of the meeting or forwards

         may be paid their  expenses,  if any, of  attendance at each meeting of
         the Board of Directors  and may be paid a fixed sum for  attendance  of
         each meeting of the Board of Directors, or a stated salary as Director.
         No  such  payment   shall   preclude  any  Director  from  serving  the
         Corporation in any other capacity and receiving compensation therefore.
         Members of any executive, special or standing committees established by
         the Board of  Directors,  may, by resolution of the Board of Directors,

         Corporation and any of its Directors,  Officers or Shareholders (or any
         corporation  or firm in which any of them are  directly  or  indirectly
         interested)  shall be invalid  solely because of such  relationship  or
         because of the presence of such Director, Officer or Shareholder at the
         meeting authorizing such contract or transaction,  or his participation
         in such meeting or authorization.

(b)      Paragraph (a) shall apply only if:

(1)      The  material  facts  of the  relationship  or  interest  of each  such
         Director, Officer or Shareholder are known or disclosed:

(A)      To the Board of Directors and it nevertheless authorizes or
         ratifies the  contract or  transaction  by a majority of the  Directors
         present,  each such  interested  Director to be counted in  determining
         whether  a  quorum  is  present  but not in  calculating  the  majority
         necessary to carry the vote; or

(B)      To the  Shareholders  and they  nevertheless  authorize  or ratify  the
         contract or transaction by a majority of the shares present,  each such
         interested person to be counted for a quorum and voting purposes; or

(2)      The contract or transaction  is fair to the  Corporation as of the time

         meeting. The signed consent, or a signed copy thereof,  shall be placed
         in the minute book of the  Corporation.  Such consents may be signed in

         the  Executive  Committee  may be  paid  their  expenses,  if  any,  of
         attendance at each meeting of the Executive Committee and may be paid a
         fixed sum for attendance at each meeting of the Executive  Committee or
         a stated salary as a member thereof. No such payment shall preclude any
         member from serving the Corporation in any other capacity and receiving
         compensation therefore.

4.10     PROCEDURE.  The Executive  Committee  shall keep regular minutes of its
         proceedings  and  report  the  same  to the  Board  of  Directors  when
         required.  The minutes of the  proceedings  of the Executive  Committee
         shall be placed in the minute book of the Corporation.

4.11     ACTION WITHOUT MEETING. Any action required or permitted to be taken at
         a meeting of the Executive  Committee may be taken without a meeting if
         a consent in writing,  setting forth the action so taken,  is signed by
         all the members of the Executive Committee. Such consent shall have the
         same force and  effect as a  unanimous  vote at a  meeting.  The signed
         consent, or a signed copy thereof,  shall be placed in the minute book.
         Such  consents  may be signed in multiple  counterparts,  each of which
         shall  constitute  an  original  for all  purposes,  and  all of  which
         together  shall  constitute  the  unanimous   written  consent  of  the
         Directors.

4.12     RESPONSIBILITY.  The  designation  of an  Executive  Committee  and the
         delegation of authority to it shall not operate to relieve the Board of
         Directors, or any member thereof, of any responsibility imposed by law.
                              ARTICLE FIVE: NOTICE

5.01     METHOD.  Whenever by statute or the Articles of  Incorporation or these
         Bylaws  notice is required to be given to any  Director or  Shareholder
         and no provision is made as to how such notice shall be given, it shall
         not be construed to mean  personal  notice,  but any such notice may be
         given:

(a)      in writing,  by mail,  postage  prepaid,  addressed to such Director or
         Shareholder at such address as appears on the books of the Corporation;
         or

(b)      by any other method  permitted by law. Any notice required or permitted
         to be  given  by mail  shall  be  deemed  to be given at the time it is
         deposited in the United States mail.

5.02     WAIVER.  Whenever, by statute or the Articles of Incorporation or these
         Bylaws,  notice is required to be given to a Shareholder or Director, a
         waiver thereof in writing  signed by the person or persons  entitled to
         such  notice,  whether  before or after the time stated in such notice,
         shall be  equivalent  to the  giving of such  notice.  Attendance  of a
         Director  at a  meeting  shall  constitute  a waiver  of notice of such
         meeting  except  where a Director  attends for the  express  purpose of
         objecting  to the  transaction  of any business on the grounds that the
         meeting is not lawfully called or convened.

5.03     TELEPHONE  MEETINGS.   Shareholders,   Directors,  or  members  of  any
         committee,  may hold any meeting of such  Shareholders,  Directors,  or
         committee by means of  conference  telephone or similar  communications
         equipment which permits all persons anticipating in the meeting to hear
         each other. Actions taken at such meeting shall have the same force and
         effect as a vote at a meeting in person.  The Secretary shall prepare a
         memorandum of the actions taken at conference telephone meetings.

                        ARTICLE SIX: OFFICERS AND AGENTS

6.01     NUMBER: QUALIFICATION; ELECTION; TERM.

         and

(2)      Such  other  Officers  (including  one  or  more  Vice-Presidents,  and
         assistant  Officers  and agents) as the Board of  Directors  authorizes
         from time to time.

(b)      No Officer or agent need be a Shareholder,  a Director or a resident of
         Nevada except as provided in Sections 3.15 and 4.02 of these Bylaws.

         exists.  The Board of Directors may elect  officers and agents in named
         in Section 6.01(a)(2) at any meeting.

(d) Unless otherwise specified by the Board at the time of election or appointment, or in an employment contract approved by the Board, each Officer's and agent's term shall end at the first meeting of Directors after the next annual meeting of Shareholders.

(e) The same person may hold any two or more offices.

6.02     REMOVAL AND  RESIGNATION.  Any Officer or agent elected or appointed by

         Board of  Directors.  Any  Officer  may  resign  at any time by  giving
         written  notice  to the  Board  of  Directors  or to the  President  of
         Secretary.

         Any such  resignation  shall take effect upon receipt of such notice if
         no date is specified in the notice, or, if a later date is specified in
         the notice, upon such later date; and unless otherwise specified in the
         notice,  the acceptance of such  resignation  shall not be necessary to
         make it effective. The removal of any Officer or agent shall be without
         prejudice  to the  contract  rights,  if any, of the person so removed.
         Election  or  appointment  of an Officer  or agent  shall not of itself
         create contract rights.

         Directors.

         warrants,  promissory notes, bonds,  debentures,  contracts,  and other
         papers and  instruments  in writing,  and unless the Board of Directors
         orders  otherwise by  resolution,  make such  contracts as the ordinary
         conduct of the Corporation's business requires.

                  (d) Hire and Discharge  Employees.  Subject to the approval of
         the Board of Directors,  appoint and remove, employ and discharge,  and
         prescribe the duties and fix the compensation of all agents,  employees

         Shareholders are entitled. Certificates shall be consecutively numbered
         and  shall  be  entered  in the  books of the  Corporation  as they are
         issued.  Each  certificate  shall  state on the face  thereof  that the
         Corporation  is  organized  under the laws of the State of Nevada,  the
         holder's  name,  the number and class of shares,  the par value of such
         shares or a statement that such shares are without par value,  and such
         other matters as may be required by law.

         They shall be signed by the  President or a  vice-president  and either
         the Secretary or Assistant  Secretary or such other Officer or Officers
         as the Board of Directors  designates,  and may be sealed with the Seal
         of the  Corporation  or a  facsimile  thereof.  If any  certificate  is

         Corporation  or an employee of the  Corporation),  the signature of any
         such Officer may be a facsimile thereof.

7.02     ISSUANCE OF  CERTIFICATES.  Shares,  both treasury and authorized,  not
         unissued,  may be  issued  for such  consideration  (not  less than par
         value) and to such  persons as the Board of Directors  determines  from
         time to time.  Shares  may not be issued  until the full  amount of the
         consideration,  fixed as provided by law,  has been paid.  In addition,
         Shares  shall  not be  issued  or  transferred  until  such  additional
         conditions and documentation as the Corporation (or its transfer agent,
         as the  case  may  be)  shall  reasonably  require,  including  without
         limitation,  the delivery with the surrender of such stock  certificate
         or certificates  of proper evidence of succession,  assignment or other
         authority to obtain transfer thereof, as the circumstances may require,
         and such legal  opinions with  reference to the  requested  transfer as
         shall be required by the  Corporation  (or its transfer agent) pursuant
         to the provisions of these Bylaws and  applicable  law, shall have been
         satisfied.

7.03     LEGENDS ON CERTIFICATES.

                  (a)  Shares  in  Classes  or  Series.  In the  Corporation  is
         authorized  to issue  shares of more than one  class,  the  certificate
         shall set forth, either on the face or back of the certificate,  a full
         or  summary  statement  of  all  of  the   designations,   preferences,
         limitations and relative rights of the shares of such class and, if the
         Corporation  is  authorized  to issue any preferred or special class in
         series,  the variations in the relative  rights and  preferences of the
         shares  of  each  such  series  so far  as  the  have  been  fixed  and
         determined,  and the  authority  of the Board of  Directors  to fix and
         determine the relative rights and preferences of subsequent  series. In
         lieu of  providing  such a  statement  in full  on the  certificate,  a
         statement on the face or back of the  certificate  may provide that the
         Corporation  will furnish such  information to any shareholder  without
         charge upon written  request to the  Corporation at its principal place
         of business or registered office and that copies of the information are
         on file in the office of the Secretary of State.

                  (b) Restriction on Transfer.  Any restrictions  imposed by the
         Corporation  on the sale or other  disposition of its shares and on the
         transfer  thereof  may be copied at  length or in  summary  form on the
         face,  or so copied on the back and  referred  to on the face,  of each
         certificate  representing shares to which the restriction  applies. The
         certificate  may,  however,  state  on the  face  or back  that  such a
         restriction  exists  pursuant  to a  specified  document  and  that the
         Corporation  will  furnish a copy of the  document to the holder of the
         certificate  without charge upon written  request to the Corporation at

its principal place of business, or refer to such restriction in any
other manner permitted by law.

(c) Preemptive Rights. Any preemptive rights of a Shareholder to acquire unissued or treasury shares of the Corporation which are or may at any time be limited or denied by the Articles of Incorporation may be set forth at length on the face or back of the certificate representing shares subject thereto. In lieu of providing such a statement in full on the certificate, a statement on the face or back of the certificate may provide that the Corporation will furnish such information to any Shareholder without charge upon written request to the Corporation at its principal place of business and that a copy of such information is on file in the office of the Secretary of State, or refer to such denial of preemptive rights in any other manner permitted by law.

                  (d) Unregistered Securities.  Any security of the Corporation,
         including,  among  others,  any  certificate  evidencing  shares of the
         Common Stock or warrants to purchase  Common Stock of the  Corporation,
         which is issued to any person without registration under the Securities
         Act of 1933, as amended, or the securities laws of any state, shall not
         be  transferable  until the Corporation has been furnished with a legal
         opinion of counsel with  reference  thereto,  satisfactory  in form and
         content  to  the  Corporation  and  its  counsel,  if  required  by the
         Corporation,  to the effect that such sale, transfer or pledge does not
         involve a violation of the Securities  Act of 1933, as amended,  or the
         securities  laws of any  state  having  jurisdiction.  The  certificate
         representing  the  security  shall  bear  substantially  the  following
         legend:

                  "THE SECURITIES  REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE NOT BEEN
                  REGISTERED  UNDER THE SECURITIES  ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED,  OR
                  UNDER THE SECURITIES LAWS OF ANY STATE AND MAY NOT BE OFFERED,
                  SOLD OR TRANSFERRED  UNLESS SUCH OFFER,  SALE OR TRANSFER WILL
                  NOT BE IN VIOLATION OF THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED,
                  OR ANY APPLICABLE  BLUE SKY LAWS. ANY OFFER,  SALE OR TRANSFER
                  OF THESE  SECURITIES MAY NOT BE MADE WITHOUT THE PRIOR WRITTEN
                  APPROVAL OF THE CORPORATION."

7.04     PAYMENT OF SHARES.

                  (a) Kind. The  consideration  for the issuance of shares shall

consist of money paid, labor done (including services actually performed for the Corporation) or property (tangible or intangible) actually received. Neither promissory notes nor the promise of future services shall constitute payment for shares.

(b) Valuation. In the absence of fraud in the transaction, the judgment of the Board of Directors as to the value of consideration received shall be conclusive.

(c) Effect. When consideration, fixed as provided by law, has been paid, the shares shall be deemed to have been issued and shall be considered fully paid and nonassessable.

(d) Allocation of Consideration. The consideration received for shares shall be allocated by the Board of Directors, in accordance with law, between Stated Capital and Capital Surplus accounts.

7.05     SUBSCRIPTIONS. Unless otherwise provided in the subscription agreement,
         subscriptions  for shares shall be paid in full at such time or in such
         installments and at such times as determined by the Board of Directors.
         Any call made by the Board of  Directors  for payment on  subscriptions
         shall  be  uniform  as to all  shares  of the same  series.  In case of
         default in the payment on any  installment or call when payment is due,
         the  Corporation  may  proceed  to  collect  the amount due in the same
         manner as any debt due to the Corporation.

7.06     LIEN. For any  indebtedness  of a Shareholder to the  Corporation,  the
         Corporation  shall  have a first  and prior  lien on all  shares of its
         stock owned by him and on all dividends or other distributions declared
         thereon.

7.07     LOST, STOLEN OR DESTROYED CERTIFICATES. The Corporation shall issue new
         certificate in place of any certificate for shares previously issued if
         the registered owner of the certificate:

                  (a) Claim.  Submits  proof in affidavit  form that it has been

lost, destroyed or wrongfully taken; and

(b) Timely Request. Requests the issuance of a new certificate before the Corporation has notice that the certificate has been acquired by a purchaser for value in good faith and without notice of an adverse claim; and

(c) Bond. Gives a bond in such form, and with such surety or sureties, with fixed or open penalty, if the Corporation so requires, to indemnify the Corporation (and its transfer agent and registrar, if any) against any claim that may be made on account of the alleged loss, destruction, or theft of the certificate; and

(d) Other Requirements. Satisfies any other reasonable requirements imposed by the Corporation.

When a certificate has been lost, apparently destroyed or wrongfully taken, and the holder of record fails to notify the Corporation within a reasonable time after he has notice of it, and the Corporation registers a transfer of the shares represented by the certificate before receiving such notification, the holder of record shall be precluded from making any claim against the Corporation for the transfer or for a new certificate.

7.08     REGISTRATION OF TRANSFER.  The Corporation  shall register the transfer
         of a certificate for shares presented to it for transfer if:

                  (a) Endorsement.  The certificate is properly  endorsed by the

registered owner or by his duly authorized attorney; and

(b) Guaranty and Effectiveness of Signature. If required by the Corporation, the signature of such person has been guaranteed by a national banking association or member of the New York Stock Exchange, and reasonable assurance is given that such endorsements are effective; and

(c) Adverse Claims. The Corporation has no notice of an adverse claim or has discharged any duty to inquire into such a claim; and

(d) Collection of Taxes. Any applicable law relating to the collection of taxes has been complied with.

7.09     REGISTERED OWNER. Prior due to presentment for registration of transfer
         of a certificate  for shares,  the Corporation may treat the registered
         owner or holder of a written  proxy from such  registered  owner as the

In the absence of any action by the Board of Directors, the date upon which the Board of Directors adopts the resolution declaring such dividend shall be the record date.

(c) Reserves. By resolution, the Board of Directors may create such reserve or reserves out of the Earned Surplus of the Corporation as the Directors from time to time, in their discretion, think proper to provide for contingencies, or to equalize dividends, or to repair or maintain any property of the Corporation, or for any other purpose they think beneficial to the Corporation. The Directors may modify or abolish any such reserve in the manner in which it was created.

The Corporation shall keep correct and complete books and records of account and shall keep minutes of the proceedings of its Shareholders and Board of Directors, and shall keep at its registered office or principal place of business, or at the office of its transfer agent or registrar, a record of its Shareholders, giving the names and addresses of all Shareholders and the number and class of the shares held by each.
