PART I
ITEM 1: DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS
Business Development
Interactive Marketing was incorporated in the state of Nevada as Shur De Cor, Inc. on August 14, 1987. Shur De Cor never began commercial operations. In April of 1999 Shur De Cor completed a reverse merger with Interactive Marketing Technology, Inc., a New Jersey corporation ("Interactive New Jersey"). Interactive New Jersey was formed on April 21, 1998 and was engaged in the business of direct marketing of consumer products through its wholly owned subsidiary, IMT's Plumber, Inc., a New Jersey corporation ("IMT's Plumber"). To effect the merger, Shur De Cor issued 12,404,000 common shares of restricted stock to the twenty-two shareholders of Interactive New Jersey in exchange for all of the issued and outstanding stock of Interactive New Jersey.
Pursuant to the merger agreement, Shur De Cor was the surviving
corporation and changed its name to Interactive Marketing Technology, Inc.,
the directors and officers of Shur De Cor resigned and the management of
Interactive New Jersey filled the vacancies, Interactive Marketing increased
its authorized capital stock from 20,000,000 to 60,000,000 common shares and
the former shareholders of Interactive New Jersey obtained 50% of Interactive
Marketing's total voting power at that time. (See, "Part 1, Item II:
Managements' Discussion & Analysis - Reverse Merger Treatment," below.)
Our short operating history and operating losses raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. This fact is reported by our independent auditor Moore Stephens, P.C.
Business
Interactive Marketing is engaged in the direct marketing of proprietary consumer products in the United States and worldwide. We facilitate the design and manufacture of products and develop market strategies for such products. Our goal is to generate awareness of new and better products for the home and family and initiate consumer brand recognition of our products in the marketplace. When appropriate, we may contract with well-known personalities to serve as spokespersons for a product to increase that product's credibility and marketability. We manage all phases of our direct marketing programs and retail marketing for the products we sell, including:
* Product selection, testing and development
* Securing all necessary or appropriate rights to the product
* Supervision of the manufacturing process, quality control and packaging
* Production and broadcast of infomercials and commercials
* In-bound telemarketing, order fulfillment and customer service
* Print advertisements
IMT's Plumber, Inc.
In June 1998 Interactive New Jersey acquired exclusive rights to a product called The Plumbers Secret. (See, "Principle Products," below). In November of 1998, Interactive New Jersey, as licensor, entered into an agreement to assign the exclusive license to a yet to be formed New Jersey limited liability company which would have Interactive New Jersey's wholly owned subsidiary as a majority member. The other member of the limited liability company would be a entity formed by Bob Vila, a popular home-improvement expert.
On February 4, 1999, the wholly owned subsidiary, IMT's Plumber, Inc., a New Jersey corporation and the limited liability company, The Plumber's Secret, L.L.C., a New Jersey limited liability company, were formed. IMT's Plumber is a 50.01 % member of The Plumber's Secret, L.L.C. with Vila Enterprises, L.L.C. as the other member. The Plumber's Secret, L.L.C. operating agreement provides that all day-to-day management decisions of The Plumber's Secret L.L.C. are to be made by Interactive Marketing.
Product Development
Interactive Marketing searches out independent third parties who have invented or patented a product that we believe can be marketed to the public or we may invent or patent a product. We attempt to develop new product ideas from a variety of sources including inventors, suppliers, trade shows, industry conferences and strategic alliances with manufacturing and consumer product companies. Initially, we evaluate the suitability of a product for television demonstration and explanation, the perceived value of the product to the consumer, we determine if an adequate supply of the product can be obtained and estimate the profitability of the product.
Once we conclude that the product will be commercially viable we attempt to obtain the rights to the product. We then negotiate licensing arrangements with the third parties that own the patent or the rights to the product. Generally these licensing arrangements involve a combination of up-front advances and/or royalties payable based upon sales or profits of the product. We ordinarily seek exclusive worldwide rights to sell and to use all means of distribution. However, we may be unsuccessful in obtaining such broad rights and may acquire only limited rights. We have negotiated an exclusive license for The Plumbers Secret and are currently negotiating licensing arrangements for three other products: Putterball, EFL Fishing Lure and Tom House Physical Fitness. (See, "Recent Developments," below). We also are currently in preliminary negotiations for at least four additional proprietary products.
Once we have obtained the rights to market a product we may decide to enhance the product to increase its marketability by changing the product itself or altering its trade name, packaging, etc. Depending on the product, we may place an order with a third party vendor to manufacture between 15,000 and 35,000 units. That amount is typically allocated for direct response television sales only. Prior to marketing a product for domestic retail we place another order with the manufacturer to cover the anticipated sales to the retail market. We use this procedure to ensure we and our retailers have enough lead-time to fill the demands for our products.
During fiscal year 1998 we expended $18,000 for research and development for proprietary formulation but we have not recorded any research and development costs during fiscal year 1999. We expect to market products for home and business related to fitness, nutrition, pet care, health emergency, golf and fishing.
Sales and Marketing
Once we obtain the rights to market a product, we develop what we believe will be the most effective marketing strategy. Strategies may include one or more of the following:
* Direct Response Television (transactional television programming
* known as infomercials)
* Spot Buying (30 seconds to two minute commercial spots)
* Catalogs
* Direct mail
* Direct Response print ads
* Television home-shopping programs
* Credit card statement inserts
* Membership programs
* Internet marketing
* Retail
* International Marketing
* Print advertising
We attempt to structure a campaign for the product which most closely suits the product, its potential consumer and the profit margins associated with the product. We typically require two to eight weeks to develop the best approach for marketing a product. During this phase, we: (1) Evaluate the suitability of the product for direct marketing and retail; (2) Evaluate the perceived value of the product to consumers; (3) Determine whether an adequate and timely supply of the product can be obtained; and (4) Analyze whether the estimated profitability of the product satisfies our criteria.
When we decide to bring a product to market, we may arrange for the production of a direct response television program ("infomercial") that can provide in-depth demonstration and/or explanations of our product. The duration of these productions may vary from one to sixty minutes. We attempt to present the product in an entertaining and informative manner, and may use a variety of program formats including live talk shows and paid live studio audience programs. Our infomercials are produced in-house or by independent production companies with experience in the infomercial field. We expect the production of an infomercial to take approximately ten (10) days up to three weeks to complete, at a cost typically ranging from $75,000 to $200,000 per infomercial. Additional costs may include fees paid to hosts and spokespersons.
Following completion of the production of an infomercial, we may test the program in the United States in specific time slots on both national cable networks and targeted broadcast stations. If an infomercial achieves acceptable results in the market tests, we generally air it on a rapidly increasing schedule on cable networks and broadcast channels. Acceptable results means that we believe we will be able to sell sufficient amounts of the product to cover the expense of production and of the media time. During this initial phase, we may modify the creative presentation of the infomercial and/or the retail pricing, depending upon viewer response. In general, we expect to air each infomercial domestically at least four to ten months and we continue such infomercials for longer periods of time to support retail sales.
An important part of our ability to successfully market products is access to media time. We do not have, and do not presently intend to have inventories of media time or long-term contracts with suppliers of media time for the broadcasting of infomercials. We believe that such inventories and long-term contracts impose a financial burden and risk which we are unwilling to accept. The lack of such inventories or long-term contracts causes us to pay for media time at the prevailing rates at the time the infomercial is aired. However, when a product tests successfully, media time can be purchased in bulk, which provides a 40-60% cost savings. We have paid approximately $150,000 for media time for the period from June 1999 through November 30, 1999.
Our infomercials periodically display an "800" telephone number and our Web site, www.shopimt.com, on the television screen during the broadcast which a customer can call or visit to order a product. We contract with third-party vendors to provide in-bound telemarketing for a fee based principally on the number of telephone calls answered. In-bound telemarketers electronically transmit orders to our third-party vendors where the product is packaged and shipped. In the future we expect the in-bound telemarketer to promote, "up-sell," complementary and/or additional products related to the product from which the inquiry is received. Such sales efforts will be orchestrated by our marketing personnel who will script the sales approaches for the telemarketing personnel.
We believe that an opportunity exists for the retailing of our consumer products on the Internet. By directly offering products through our own Web site, we interact with customers in real-time and are able to frequently adjust the product mix, pricing and visual presentation. In addition, we can more easily obtain extensive
demographic and behavioral data about our customers, provide them with greater direct marketing opportunities and offer a more personalized shopping experience. Also, the Internet provides the convenience of home shopping and 24-hour-a-day, seven-days-a-week operation, available to any location, foreign and domestic, that has access to the Internet. In December of 1999 we agreed to link our Web site with Bob Vila's Web site, www.BobVila.com which is an interactive site specializing in home improvements. We also intend to create links with hundreds of Web sites to promote and sell our products.
Principal Products
The Plumbers Secret. In June 1998, Interactive New Jersey entered into a licensing agreement with A 2000 USA, Inc., licensor, and Robert and John Miller, as inventors, for the exclusive right to manufacture and or produce, advertise, promote, market or sell worldwide The Plumbers Secret. Interactive Marketing agreed to pay A2000 USA a royalty per unit for a period of one year. $20,000 was paid to the A 2000 USA upon execution of the agreement and an additional $30,000 was paid after successful test marketing
The Plumbers Secret is a simple plumbing device that is packaged in its own plastic toolbox-like carry case and can be used up to twelve times for clearing any clogged drain in a home. The product retails for $39.95 and has a shelf life of ten years. The case holds a canister, pistol grip extension, and three adapters which connect to tubs, sinks, toilets, showers, garbage disposals and removable and non-removable grates. The pressurized canister releases a patented non-toxic, non-corrosive enzymatic formula that expands 200 times its mass when introduced to water. The aerosol delivery system propels the standing water through the clog.
We have produced one and two minute spots with Bob Vila, the former host of the television series "This Old House", as the spokesperson for The Plumbers Secret. The infomercial began airing in July of 1999 and was released as part of Apple Computer's QuickTime 4 digital video and streaming media at the Macworld Expo/NY '99 show. In August of 1999 The Shopping Channel in Canada and tSc Direct, an Internet site, agreed to market The Plumber's Secret on Canadian Home Shopping. The Canadian Home Shopping Channel is similar to the QVC Network in the United States. The Plumber's Secret infomercial is broadcast throughout English speaking Canada and on the tSc Direct Internet site located at www.tsc.ca.
We have also expanded into retail markets with The Plumbers Secret. In December of 1999 we filled product orders with Bed Bath & Beyond, Inc., QVC and Kmart Corporation. As of December 31, 1999 there has been approximately $990,000 in sales of this product. We believe that The Plumbers Secret will become a common retail product.
Principal Suppliers
Production needs for our products are provided by third party vendors or in-house. We contact several vendors until we find the combination of quality manufacturing for a reasonable price. We consistently search for new suppliers to insure that we and our customers are always assured the best product. We currently rely on four vendors to supply the parts for The Plumbers Secret. Accra Pac Group located in Indiana supplies the pressurized cans filled with the non-toxic formula. Blow Molded Products located in California supplies the plastic case, cap, handles and adapters. Hawthorne Rubber located in New Jersey supplies the large flange adaptor. GM Packaging located in California provides the shipping boxes. We have not entered into formal long-term written agreements with these suppliers.
We monitor the availability of our products and promptly adjust our
direct marketing campaign if and when a product cannot be adequately supplied.
However, such adjustment may not always be possible in the short term.
Management believes the loss of one or more of these vendors should not result
in a material adverse affect on our operations because we use a secondary
vendor for smaller quantities which allows us to replace the primary vendor
within 30-45 days.
Distribution
We rely on third parties to distribute our products. Sales from direct response television and Internet sales are handled by our North American order fulfillment center, PDS, located in Pacoima, California. This facility receives merchandise from manufacturers, inspects merchandise for damage or defects, stores product for later delivery, assembles the product as required, packages and ships the products and processes customer returns. We use bulk shippers to deliver products to customers in the United States. In certain instances, the manufacturer of the product ships orders directly to the customer.
Each customer is charged a shipping and handling fee, which varies by product. The majority of customer payments are made by credit card over the telephone, with the remainder paid by check. No product is shipped C.O.D. and we will not ship a product until payment has been received and cleared.
In addition to direct response television we rely on our President, Sandy Lang, Johnny Bench, Leisure Marketing and 20 independent sales representatives to market our products. We recently entered into an agreement with Leisure Marketing to market our products. Leisure Marketing has had twenty-five years experience with direct response television sales. We currently have engaged fourteen domestic independent distributors who intend to solicit ninety major retail organizations in the home center, hardware, farm and fleet and maintenance supply centers. Sales to our independent distributors are at a fixed price and all sales are final with no guaranteed sales provisions. In July of 1999 we began development of an international retail and independent distributor network. We currently have established ten independent distributors who will begin marketing our products within the next 60 days. We anticipate that we will engage independent distributors in various foreign countries around the world to market our products.
Competition
We have been in our market for a short period of time and compete directly with many other companies, large and small, which generate revenue from direct marketing, wholesale/retail and Internet commerce activities. We also compete with consumer products companies and retailers which have substantially greater financial, marketing and other resources. Some of these companies presently conduct, or indicate their intent to conduct, direct response marketing. Products similar to our products may be sold in department stores, pharmacies, general merchandise stores and through magazines, newspapers, direct mail advertising catalogs and the Internet.
The Plumbers Secret competes directly with two products available in the marketplace today that purport to do what our product does. They are called Power Plumber and Air Force and sell for 30% less than The Plumbers Secret. We compete with these products by using direct response television advertising blitzes which provide the customer with the convenience of ordering by phone or mail and a 100% money-back guarantee. Also, we use a non-corrosive, non-toxic formula in our product where the others use corrosive chemicals. Our packaging is constructed of sturdy plastic parts where the other products use cardboard. Finally, the endorsement of nationally known home improvement expert, Bob Vila, improves The Plumbers Secret credibility and marketability.
Recent Developments
The following discussions involve forward looking statements regarding our product developments that involve substantial risks and uncertainties. We cannot assure that we will be able to finalize licensing agreements for these products, or that the products will prove to be marketable or successful.
Putterball. In November of 1999 we entered into a letter of intent to develop and market the Putterball. The Putterball is a putting practice device fashioned with a steel golf ball-like attachment in place of the normal putter blade. The device does not tolerate error and assists a player to learn his or her most productive technique through repetitive use of the Putterball.
Tom House Physical Fitness. In December of 1999 Interactive Marketing and Tom House signed a letter of intent to market Dr. House's fitness products. Tom House is a retired major-league pitcher who has a Ph.D. in
psychology and he is an consultant, performance analyst and sports psychologist, and is a trainer of elite athletes. We anticipate that the Tom House Physical Fitness products will include training equipment that weighs less than one pound, training tapes and nutritional supplements which will provide body development necessary for a person's needs whether at home, the office or while traveling. We anticipate we will shoot the Tom House infomercial during the first quarter of 2000. The nutritional supplements have been formulated and we anticipate they will be available in the last quarter of 2000. We hope to create a continuity package with Tom House where the customer can call an "800" number and receive answers for any questions regarding the fitness products.
EFL Fishing Lure. The EFL Fishing Lure is a patented latex plastic in the shape of a fish developed by actor, Chris Atkins (known for his performance in Blue Lagoon) and five motion picture special effects people. When the EFL Fishing Lure is put over a crank bait the bait feels like a fish and moves like a fish. Chris Atkins will be the spokesman for the EFL Fishing Lure and we anticipate using many of the recognized pro fishermen along with celebrities that love to fish as spokespersons. We intend to produce a 30 minute infomercial and will begin production of the product in foreign countries. We have created a logo and we plan to use a retail package consisting of a unique type of tackle box with several types of baits and hooks. We expect the retail price to be $39.95
Trademarks, License and Intellectual Property
We rely upon a combination of licenses, confidentiality agreements and other contractual covenants to establish and protect development and marketing rights for our products. We have assigned our exclusive license to manufacture and or produce, advertise, promote, market or sell worldwide The Plumber's Secret to the Plumber's Secret L.L.C. We are currently seeking trademark protection for The Plumbers Secret. We consider trademark protection to be very important to brand name recognition and independent distributor and consumer loyalty to our business. We intend to register our important trademarks in the United States.
Our ability to compete effectively will depend in part on our ability to maintain exclusive licensing and the aggressive continued development of our products. We can not assure that our competitors will not independently develop or obtain products that are substantially equivalent or superior to our products.
Government Regulations
Various aspects of our business are subject to regulation and ongoing review by a variety of federal, state, local and foreign government agencies, including the Federal Trade Commission ("FTC"), the United States Post Office, the Consumer Products Safety Commission ("CPSC"), the Federal Communications Commission, ("FCC"), various States' Attorneys General and other state, local and foreign consumer protection and health agencies. The statutes, rules and regulations applicable to our operations and to our product are numerous, complex and subject to change. Our international business, when developed, will be subject to the laws and regulations in the countries in which we sell our products including, but not limited to, the various consumer and health protection laws and regulations in that country where we market our product.
If any significant actions are brought against us or any of our subsidiaries in connection with a breach of such laws or regulations, including the imposition of fines or other penalties, or against one of the entities through which we obtain a significant portion of our media exposure, we could be materially and adversely affected. There can be no assurance that changes in the laws and regulations of any state or country which forms a significant portion of our market will not adversely affect our business or results of operations.
We collect and remit sales tax in the states where we have a physical
presence, however, certain states in which our only activity is direct
response television and Internet marketing have attempted to require direct
marketers, such as Interactive Marketing, to collect and remit sales tax on
sales to customers residing in such states. A 1995 United States Supreme
Court decision held that Congress could legislate such a change. Thus far,
Congress has taken no action to that effect. We are prepared to collect sales
taxes for other states if laws are passed requiring such collection. We do
not believe that a change in the laws requiring the collection of sales taxes
will have a material adverse effect on our financial condition or results of
operations.
Employees
Currently we employ six (6) individuals. We think we have good relations with our employees and none are subject to a collective bargaining agreement.
Reports to Security Holders.
Interactive Marketing has voluntarily elected to file this Form 10-SB registration statement in order to become a reporting company under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended ( the "Exchange Act"). Following the effective date of this registration statement, we will be required to comply with the reporting requirements of the Exchange Act. We will file annual, quarterly and other reports with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"). We also will be subject to the proxy solicitation requirements of the Exchange Act and, accordingly, will furnish an annual report with audited financial statements to our stockholders. Interested persons may visit our web site at www.shopimt.com.

ITEM 2: MANAGEMENTS' DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OR PLAN OF OPERATIONS
Overview
Interactive Marketing provides comprehensive marketing services for proprietary consumer products in both the United States and worldwide. Operations commenced in August of 1999. Currently management plans to introduce in the near-term at least five different products which may generate significant revenues over the next three years. In addition, to date, management is in the initial stages of signing four additional products which could enhance our revenues.
We have had no revenues for the fiscal year ended February 28, 1999. However, we have posted $577,490 in revenues for the nine month period ended November 30, 1999. We have had a short operating a history and history of operating losses, but management believes our product lines will provide a source of future revenues.
Reverse Merger Treatment
In April of 1999 Shur De Cor, a blank check company, merged with Interactive New Jersey. Shur De Cor, the Nevada corporation, was the surviving entity following the merger. The reverse merger was completed pursuant to a stock-for-stock exchange of 12,404,000 shares of the Shur De Cor's common stock for 100% of the outstanding stock, 2,500 shares, of Interactive New Jersey. The merger was structured as a tax free stock-for-stock exchange pursuant to Section 368 (a)(1) (B) of the Internal Revenue Code, as amended. For accounting purposes, the acquisition is being treated as an issuance of 6,202,000 shares by Interactive New Jersey for the $50,000 in assets of Shur De Cor.
Plan of Operations
We did not post revenues for the fiscal years ended 1998 and 1997 and have experienced cumulative operating losses since our inception of approximately $700,000 through November 30, 1999, but we started
generating revenues in August of 1999. Management believes that our current cash balance at November 30, 1999, of $152,573, along with anticipated revenues, external debt and equity financing should be adequate to fund our projected operations and provide for our working capital needs over at least the next twelve months.
We have monthly lease commitments for our office space of approximately $5,398. We have no plans to purchase significant equipment or other capital expenditures. In addition, in the next twelve months, we anticipate research and development costs for our new products to amount to approximately $7,500. Further, it is anticipated based upon projected revenues for the new products, our payroll costs will increase to approximately $150,000 due to employment of two to three additional employees.
On March 16, 1999, the members of The Plumber's Secret L.L.C. agreed to amend the operating agreement. The members agreed that the initial capital contribution by both members would be approximately $100,000 each. IMT's Plumber has committed to lend The Plumber's Secret L.L.C. up to $150,000. IMT's Plumber will receive a preferred return on its capital contribution. Under a service agreement, $100,000 will be paid to Vila Enterprises for advertising and promoting the product in an infomercial. $100,000 in profits from The Plumber's Secret L.L.C. will be allocated to Vila Enterprises and then profits will be distributed to the members according to the terms of the first operating agreement.
During fiscal year 1999 Interactive New Jersey was a private company developing a five year plan of products. It had entered into various agreements to market or purchase some of our current product lines. After our merger with Interactive New Jersey our management continued the development of our product lines. Management believes we now have sufficient products to maintain revenues. Our management is reviewing various product cost bids and is discussing with major retailers the selling of our products. We also intend to generate banner stream income from Internet advertisers. We plan to create a Web site that will become a movie channel with a weekly soap opera and will be a source of such banner stream income.
We sustained a net loss from operations of $40,680 for the period from April 21, 1998 (date of inception) through February 28, 1999 compared to a net loss from operations of approximately $658,000 for the nine months of fiscal year 1999. To date, management has devoted its efforts primarily to developing its products, developing its business strategy and raising capital. We are unaware of any known trends, events or uncertainties that are reasonably likely to impact revenues from operations.
We may experience significant fluctuations in operating results in future periods due to a variety of factors, including but not limited to, the following factors:
* We may need additional financing in order to carry out our business plan and management cannot assure that we will be successful in obtaining such financing. Failure to obtain necessary financing could have a material adverse impact on our operations.
* Sales from our products are unproven and yet to be tested in the retail environment.
* We must obtain new products and customers at reasonable costs, retain customers and encourage repeat purchases.
* We need to develop our customer base through multiple marketing channels, which include the following: (i) Development of an aggressive marketing campaign using a combination of online and traditional marketing: (ii) by entering into linking arrangements with other web sites; and (iii) using direct marketing techniques to target new and existing customers with personalized communications.
Seasonal Trends
Our market is not seasonal because our products are marketed with a
direct response television media blitz, which is not related to the seasonal
variables.
ITEM 3: DESCRIPTION OF PROPERTIES
Our principal offices are located in Hollywood, California. The property is a six story office building made of brick and glass which is in good condition. We lease approximately 2,500 square feet which includes six offices, a conference room, kitchen and stock room. This property should be adequate for the immediate future. Our monthly rent begins at $5,398 and increases 1.966% over a five year period. This lease will expire in May of 2004.
ITEM 4: SECURITY OWNERSHIP OF CERTAIN BENEFICIAL OWNERS AND MANAGEMENT
The following table sets forth the beneficial ownership of our outstanding common stock of; (i) each person or group known by us to own beneficially more than 5% of our outstanding common stock, (ii) each of our executive officers, (iii) each of our director's and (iv) all executive officers and directors as a group. Beneficial ownership is determined in accordance with the rules of the SEC and generally includes voting or investment power with respect to securities. Except as indicated by footnote, the persons named in the table below have sole voting power and investment power with respect to all shares of common stock shown as beneficial ownership of those shares. The percentage of beneficial ownership is based on 15,832,000 shares of common stock outstanding as of December 31, 1999

$.001, of which 15,832,000 were issued and outstanding as of December 31,
1999. All shares of common stock have equal rights and privileges with
respect to voting, liquidation and dividend rights. Each share of common
stock entitles the holder thereof (i) to one non-cumulative vote for each
share held of record of all matters submitted to a vote of the stockholders,
(ii) to participate equally and to receive any and all such dividends as may
be declared by the Board of Directors out of funds legally available; and

preemptive rights to acquire additional shares of common stock or any other

PART II
ITEM 1: MARKET FOR COMMON EQUITY
AND RELATED STOCKHOLDER MATTERS
Our common stock is traded over-the-counter and quoted on the OTC NASDAQ Electronic Bulletin Board under the symbol "IAMK". The following table represents the range of the high and low bid prices of our stock as reported by the Nasdaq Trading and Market Services for each fiscal quarter for the last two fiscal years ending February 28, 1999 and the interim period ended November 30, 1999. There was no trading activity prior to April 1999. Such quotations represent
prices between dealers and my not include retail markups, markdowns, or commissions and may not necessarily represent actual transactions.
Quarter Ended High Low ------------- ------- --------- May 31, 1999 $ 7.875 $ 0.0625 August 31, 1999 4.0625 2.00 November 30, 1999 2.6875 0.75 |
We have approximately 43 stockholders of record as of November 30, 1999. On March 17, 1999, we effected a 2-for-1 forward split of our outstanding common shares. The discussions in this registration statement regarding our common shares reflect the forward stock split.
Dividends
We have not declared dividends on our common stock and do not anticipate paying dividends on our common stock in the foreseeable future.
OTC Bulletin Board Eligibility Rule
In January of 1999, the SEC granted approval of amendments to the NASD OTC Bulletin Board Eligibility Rule 6530 and 6540. These amendments now require a company listed on the OTC Bulletin Board to be a reporting company and current in its reports filed with the SEC. As a result of this rule change we have voluntarily filed this registration statement in order to become a fully reporting company and maintain the listing of our common stock on the OTC Bulletin Board. The rule requires that the SEC come to a position of no further comment regarding the registration statement before a company is considered compliant. We cannot assure that the SEC will come to such a position in regards to this registration statement prior to our phase-in-date of April 5, 2000. According to the rules, if we are not in compliance at our phase-in-date our common stock will be removed from the OTC Bulletin Board. If our listing is removed from the OTC Bulletin Board we intend to move our listing to the National Quotation Bureau's Pink Sheets. This move to the "pink sheets" may adversely affect the market, if any, in our stock.
ITEM 2: LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
We are not a party to any legal proceedings or threatened proceedings as of the date of this filing.
ITEM 3: CHANGES IN AND DISAGREEMENTS WITH ACCOUNTANTS
Pursuant to the merger agreement, we continue to employ the accounting survivor, Interactive New Jersey's principal independent accountant, Moore Stephens, P.C. located in Cranford, New Jersey. For the past two fiscal years we have not had any disagreements regarding accounting practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure with our former independent accountant, Crouch, Bierwolf and Chisholm, located in Salt Lake City, Utah; nor have their reports contained an adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion.
ITEM 4: RECENT SALES OF UNREGISTERED SECURITIES
The following discussion describes all securities we have sold within the past three fiscal years without registration:
On December 22, 1998, we issued 60,000 pre-forward shares of common stock, valued at $600, to James Glavas, our then President, services rendered on our behalf. The issuance of such shares was exempt from registration under the Securities Act of 1933 by reason of Sections 3(b) and 4(2) as a private transaction not involving a public distribution.
On January 26, 1999, we issued 50,000 pre-forward shares of common stock, valued at $500, to Principal Holdings, Inc. for investment banking services rendered on our behalf. The issuance of such shares was exempt from registration under the Securities Act of 1933 by reason of Sections 3(b) and 4(2) as a private transaction not involving a public distribution.
On February 15, 1999, pursuant to Rule 504, we offered 2,000,000 shares of common stock for an aggregate offering price of $50,000. Sixteen (16) investors purchased 2,000,000 common shares for the $50,000 aggregate offering price No underwriting discounts or commissions were paid for this offering.
On April 13, 1999 we sold 285,000 common shares for $949,050 to Stratus Investco S.A. The issuance of such shares was exempt from registration under the Securities Act of 1933 by reason of Sections 3(b) and 4(2) as a private transaction not involving a public distribution.
On November 1, 1999 we sold 295,000 common shares to Finks Consultancy Limited for $245,000. The issuance of such shares was exempt from registration under the Securities Act of 1933 by reason of Sections 3(b) and 4(2) as a private transaction not involving a public distribution.
On November 19, 1999 we issued 2,000,000 common shares to Planet Entertainment Corporation to acquire 5,000 master audio recordings valued at $1,600,000. The issuance of such shares was exempt from registration under the Securities Act of 1933 by reason of Sections 3(b) and 4(2) as a private transaction not involving a public distribution.
In each of the private transactions above, we believe that each purchaser
(i) was aware that the securities had not been registered under federal
securities laws, (ii) acquired the securities for his/her/its own account for
investment purposes of the federal securities laws, (iii) understood that the
securities would need to be indefinitely held unless registered or an
exemption from registration applied to a proposed disposition and (iv) was
aware that the certificate representing the securities would bear a legend
restricting its transfer. We believe that, in light of the foregoing, the
sale of our securities to the respective acquirers did not constitute the sale
of an unregistered security in violation of the federal securities laws and
regulations by reason of the exemptions provided under Sections 3(b) and 4(2) of
the Securities Act, and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder.
ITEM 5: INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS
Neither our Articles of Incorporation nor our bylaws provide for the indemnification of a present or former director and officer. However, pursuant to Nevada Revised Statutes Section 78.750 and 78.751 the corporation must indemnify a director, officer employee or agent of the corporation who is successful on the merits or otherwise in defense on any action or suit. Such indemnification shall include, expenses, including attorney's fees actually or reasonably incurred by him. Nevada law also provides for discretionary indemnification for each person who serves as or at the request of the corporation as an officer or director of the corporation. The corporation may indemnify such individuals against all costs, expenses and liabilities incurred in a threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding brought because such individual is an director or officer of the corporation. Such individual must have conducted himself in good faith and reasonably believed that his conduct was in, or not opposed to, the best interests of the corporation. In a criminal action he must not have had a reasonable cause to believe his conduct was unlawful.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT AUDITORS
To the Board of Directors and Stockholders
Interactive Marketing Technology, Inc.
|
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of Interactive Marketing Technology, Inc. [a development stage company] as of February 28, 1999, and the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders' equity, and cash flows for the period from April 21, 1998 [date of inception] through February 28, 1999. These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audit.
We conducted our audit in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall consolidated financial statement presentation. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Interactive Marketing Technology, Inc. [a development stage company] as of February 28, 1999, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for the period from April 21, 1998 [date of inception] through February 28, 1999, in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that Interactive Marketing Technology, Inc. will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 8 to the consolidated financial statements, Interactive Marketing Technology, Inc. suffered a net loss of $40,680 for the period April 21, 1998 through February 28, 1999 and had an insufficient cash balance at February 28, 1999 for future operations that raise substantial doubt about Interactive Marketing Technology, Inc.'s ability to continue as a going concern. Management's plans in regard to these matters are described in Note 8. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

[1] Nature of Operations
Interactive Marketing Technology, Inc. ["IMT"] was formed on April 21, 1998, under the laws of the State of New Jersey, however, operations have not yet commenced. The Company's wholly-owned subsidiary is IMT's Plumber, Inc., which was formed February 4, 1999 [See Note 3]. The Company's principal business activity is to produce, market, and sell throughout the world a licensed product called the Plumbers Secret [the "product"] [See Note 3]. The Company commenced selling the product in August of 1999 and will begin introducing new products in January of 2000.
[2] Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Principles of Consolidation - The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiary. Intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.
Use of Estimates - The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Cash and Cash Equivalents - The Company considers all highly liquid investments, with a maturity of three months or less when purchased, to be cash equivalents. At February 28, 1999 and November 30, 1999, the Company did not have any cash equivalents.
Research and Development Costs - The Company expenses research and development costs as incurred. For the period ended February 28, 1999 research and development costs totaled $18,000 for proprietary formulation.
Net [Loss] Per Share - Net [loss] per share is based on the weighted average
number of shares outstanding, reflecting the shares issued in the transaction
[See Note 9B] and the shares reacquired and reflected in treasury stock [See
Note 12C] as outstanding for all periods presented. FASB issued SFAS No. 128,
"Earnings Per Share," in February 1997. SFAS No. 128 simplifies the earnings
per share ["EPS"] calculations required by Accounting Principles Board ["APB"]
Opinion No. 15, and related interpretations, by replacing the presentation of
primary EPS with a presentation of basic EPS. SFAS No. 128 requires dual
presentation of basic and diluted EPS by entities with complex capital
structures. Basic EPS includes no dilution and is computed by dividing income
available to common stockholders by the weighted-average number of common
shares outstanding for the period. Diluted EPS reflects the potential
dilution of securities that could share in the earnings of an entity, similar
to the fully diluted EPS of APB Opinion No. 15. SFAS No. 128 is effective for
financial statements issued for periods ending after December 15, 1997,
including interim periods; earlier application is not permitted. The Company
adopted SFAS No. 128. Basic EPS is based on average common shares outstanding
and diluted EPS include the effects of potential common stock, such as,
options and warrants, if dilutive. As of February 28, 1999, the Company had
no potentially dilutive securities that would be included in the computation
of diluted earnings per share. Such dilutive securities if issued could
dilute EPS in future years.
Licensing Fees and Customer Lists - Amortization of intangible assets will begin when operations commence and be over five years using the straight-line method.
Fixed Assets - Depreciation began in August of 1999 under the straight-line method over five years.
[2] Summary of Significant Accounting Policies [Continued]
Impairment - Certain long-term assets of the Company are reviewed when changes in circumstances require as to whether their carrying value has become impaired, pursuant to guidance established in Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ["SFAS"] No. 121, "Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed Of." Management considers assets to be impaired if the carrying value exceeds the future projected cash flows from related operations [undiscounted and without interest charges]. If impairment is deemed to exist, the assets will be written down to fair value. Management also reevaluates the periods of amortization to determine whether subsequent events and circumstances warrant revised estimates of useful lives. As of February 28, 1999, management expects these assets to be fully recoverable.
[3] Operating Agreement
The Company's subsidiary, IMT's Plumber, Inc., entered into an operating
agreement in February of 1999 whereby it has a 50.01% interest in the
Plumber's Secret, LLC and all day-to-day management decisions of the operating
entity are to be made by IMT. IMT shall be entitled to 10% of "net cash flow"
as defined as a management fee. IMT, as licensor, has assigned to the limited
liability company a licensing agreement with A2000 USA, Inc. [See Notes 4 and
5]. The other limited liability partner has the right to abandon its interest
if sales from the product are less than $2,000,000 subsequent to the first
year that the infomercial airs on the product [See Note 9A]
[4] Related Party Transactions
[A] Legal fees totaling $14,680 and research and development costs of $18,000 were incurred between October 1, 1997 and June 30, 1998 in connection with the formation of the business, the licensing agreements, and applications for patents and trademarks for the product. These costs were paid for by a stockholder of the Company and were treated as a capital contribution.
[B] A stockholder of the Company paid total licensing fees for the product, "Plumbers Secret", of $20,000 in June and July of 1998. These payments were treated as a capital contribution [See Note 5].
[C] A stockholder of the Company remitted his acquisition of the title and interest in the mailing list of past, current, and future names whereby his basis of $136,560 was treated as a capital contribution.
[D] In January 1999, a stockholder advanced $5,000 to the Company for working capital purposes.
[5] Licensing Agreement
In June 1998, the Company entered into a licensing agreement for the exclusive right to manufacture and or produce, advertise, promote, market or sell worldwide the product for a royalty per unit for a period of one year. Upon execution of agreement, $20,000 was paid to the licensor. An additional $30,000 is to be paid upon successful test marketing that will be utilized as a credit to future royalties due the licensor for products sold by the Company.
[6] Equity and Debt Financing

2,500 shares were exchanged for 12,404,000 shares of common stock of Shur De

[7] Significant Risks and Uncertainties
[A] Concentrations of Credit Risk - Cash - Financial instruments which potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consists of cash.
The Company places its cash with high credit quality institutions and is subject to credit risk to the extent it exceeds federally insured limits. At February 28, 1999, the Company has no cash subject to such risk. The Company does not require collateral or other security to support financial instruments subject to credit risk.
[8] Going Concern
The accompany financial statements have been prepared in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles, which contemplates continuation of the Company as a going concern and realization of assets and settlement of liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business.
The Company has not recorded any revenues through February 28, 1999. The inability of the Company to generate cash from operations, considering currently available funds, creates an uncertainty about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern. The Company is exploring equity financing. The continuation of the Company as a going concern is dependent upon the success of these plans.
There can be no assurances that management's plans to reduce operating losses and to obtain additional financing to fund operations will be successful. The financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded assets, or the amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary in the event the Company cannot continue in existence.
[9] Subsequent Events
[A] Amended Operating Agreement - On March 16, 1999, the Company entered into an amendment of the operating agreement for the limited liability company [See Note 3]. The initial capital contribution by both members will be approximately $100,000 each. IMT will commit to lending the limited liability company up to $150,000. IMT will receive a preferred return on its capital contribution. Under a service agreement, $100,000 will be paid to the other limited liability member [Vila Enterprises, LLC] for advertising and promoting the product in an infomercial. In addition, the first $100,000 in profits from the limited liability company will be allocated to Vila Enterprises and then profits will be distributed to the members according to the terms of the first agreement.
[B] Share Exchange Agreement - On March 15, 1999, the Company ["IMT"] entered into a share exchange agreement with Shur De Cor, Inc. whereby 100% of the Company's common stock, or 2,500 shares, were exchanged for 12,404,000 shares of common stock of Shur De Cor, Inc. For accounting purposes, the acquisition is being treated as an issuance of shares for cash by the Company, with the Company as the acquirer. Shares of 12,404,000 issued in the acquisition are shown as outstanding for all periods presented in these financial statements in the same manner as for a stock split. The acquired equity of Shur De Cor, Inc. is included in the Company's financial statements at the date of acquisition. Pro forma information on this transaction is not presented as, at the date of this transaction, Shur De Cor, Inc. was considered a public shell and accordingly, the transaction will not be considered a business combination.

[10] New Authoritative Accounting Pronouncements
The Financial Accounting Standard Board ["FASB"] has issued Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 133 ["SFAS No. 133"], "Accounting for
Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities." SFAS No. 133 establishes
accounting and reporting standards for derivative instruments, including
certain derivative instruments embedded in other contracts and for hedging
activities. SFAS No. 133 requires that an entity recognize all derivatives as
either assets or liabilities in the statement of financial position and
measure those instruments at fair value. The accounting for changes in the
fair value of a derivative depends on the intended use of the derivative and
how it its designated, for example, gain or losses related to changes in the
fair value of a derivative not designated as a hedging instrument is
recognized in earnings in the period of the change, while certain types of
hedges may be initially reported as a component of other comprehensive income
[outside earnings] until the consummation of the underlying transaction.
SFAS No. 133 is effective for all fiscal quarters of fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2000. Initial application of SFAS No. 133 should be as of the beginning of a fiscal quarter; on that date, hedging relationships must be designated anew and documented pursuant to the provisions of SFAS No. 133. Earlier application of all of the provisions of SFAS No. 133 is encouraged, but it is permitted only as of the beginning of any fiscal quarter. SFAS No. 133 is not to be applied retroactively to financial statements of prior periods.
The Company does not currently have any derivative instruments and is not currently engaged in any hedging activities.
[11] Unaudited Interim Statements
The financial statements as of November 30, 1999 and for the nine months ended November 30, 1999 are unaudited; however in the opinion of management all adjustments [consisting solely of normal recurring adjustments] necessary to make the interim financial statements not misleading have been made.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT
To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of Shur De Cor, Inc.
We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of Shur De Cor, Inc. (a development stage company) as of February 28, 1999 and December 31, 1998 and the related statements of operations, stockholders' equity and cash flows for the two months ended February 28, 1999 and for the year ended December 31, 1998. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. The financial statements of Shur De Cor, Inc. for the period ended December 31, 1997 and from inception at August 14, 1987 through June 30, 1998 were audited by other auditors whose report dated August 8, 1998, expressed an unqualified opinion on these statements.
We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statement 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 included 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 Shur De Cor, Inc. (a development stage company) as of February 28, 1999 and December 31, 1998 and the results of its operations and cash flows for the two months ended February 28, 1999 and for the year ended December 31, 1998 and from inception on August 14, 1987 through February 28, 1999 in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. The Company has suffered recurring losses from operations which raises substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Management's plans in regard to these matters are described in Note 2. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

AMENDED AND RESTATED
BYLAWS
OF
INTERACTIVE MARKETING, INC.
ARTICLE 1. OFFICES
1.1 Business Office. The principal office of the corporation shall be located at any place either within or outside the State of Nevada as designated in the corporation's most recent document on file with the Nevada Secretary of State, Division of Corporations. The corporation may have such other offices, either within or without the State of Nevada as the board of directors may designate or as the business of the corporation may require from time to time.
1.2 Registered Office. The registered office of the corporation shall be located within the State of Nevada and may be, but need not be, identical with the principal office. The address of the registered office may be changed from time to time.
ARTICLE 2. SHAREHOLDERS
2.1 Annual Shareholder Meeting. The annual meeting of the shareholders shall be held on the 1st day of November, at a date and time to be specified by the Board of Directors, for the purpose of electing directors and for the transaction of such other business as may come before the meeting. If the day fixed for the annual meeting shall be a legal holiday in the State of Nevada, such meeting shall be held on the next succeeding business day.
2.2 Special Shareholder Meeting. Special meetings of the shareholders, for any purpose or purposes described in the meeting notice, may be called by the president, or by the board of directors, and shall be called by the president at the request of the holders of not less than one-fourth of all outstanding votes of the corporation entitled to be cast on any issue at the meeting.
2.3 Place of Shareholder Meeting. The board of directors may designate any place, either within or without the State of Nevada, as the place of meeting for any annual or any special meeting of the shareholders, unless by written consent, which may be in the form of waivers of notice or otherwise, all shareholders entitled to vote at the meeting designate a different place, either within or without the State of Nevada, as the place for the holding of such meeting.
2.4 Notice of Shareholder Meeting. Written notice stating the date, time, and place of any annual or special shareholder meeting shall be delivered not less than 10 nor more than 60 days before the date of the meeting, either personally or by mail, by or at the direction of the President, the board of directors, or other persons calling the meeting, to each shareholder of record entitled to vote at such meeting and to any other shareholder entitled by the Nevada Revised Statutes (the "Statutes") or the articles of incorporation to receive notice of the meeting. Notice shall be deemed to be effective at the earlier of: (1) when deposited in the United States mail, addressed to the shareholder at his address as it appears on the stock transfer books of the corporation, with postage thereon prepaid; (2) on the date shown on the return receipt if sent by registered or certified mail, return receipt requested, and the receipt is signed by or on behalf of the addressee; (3) when received; or (4) 3 days after deposit in the United States mail, if mailed postpaid and correctly addressed to an address other than that shown in the corporation's current record of shareholders.
If any shareholder meeting is adjourned to a different date, time or place, notice need not be given of the new date, time and place, if the new date, time and place is announced at the meeting before adjournment. But if the adjournment is for more than 30 days or if a new record date for the adjourned meeting is or must be fixed, then notice must be given pursuant to the requirements of the previous paragraph, to those persons who are shareholders as of the new record date.
2.5 Waiver of Notice. A shareholder may waive any notice required by the Statutes, the articles of incorporation, or these bylaws, by a writing signed by the shareholder entitled to the notice, which is delivered to the corporation (either before or after the date and time stated in the notice) for inclusion in the minutes or filing with the corporate records.
A shareholder's attendance at a meeting:
(a) waives objection to lack of notice or defective notice of the meeting, unless the shareholder at the beginning of the meeting objects to holding the meeting or transacting business at the meeting because of lack of notice or effective notice; and
(b) waives objection to consideration of a particular matter at the meeting that is not within the purpose or purposes described in the meeting notice, unless the shareholder objects to considering the matter when it is presented.
2.6 Fixing of Record Date. For the purpose of determining shareholders of any voting group entitled to notice of or to vote at any meeting of shareholders, or shareholders entitled to receive payment of any distribution, or in order to make a determination of shareholders for any other proper purpose, the board of directors may fix in advance a date as the record date. Such record date shall not be more than 70 days prior to the date on which the particular action, requiring such determination of shareholders, is to be taken. If no record date is so fixed by the board for the determination of shareholders entitled to notice of, or to vote at a meeting of shareholders, the record date for determination of such shareholders shall be at the close of business on the day the first notice is delivered to shareholders. If no record date is fixed by the board for the determination of shareholders entitled to receive a distribution, the record date shall be the date the board authorizes the distribution. With respect to actions taken in writing without a meeting, the record date shall be the date the first shareholder signs the consent.
When a determination of shareholders entitled to vote at any meeting of shareholders has been made as provided in this Section, such determination shall apply to any adjournment thereof unless the board of directors fixes a new record date which it must do if the meeting is adjourned to a date more than 120 days after the date fixed for the original meeting.
2.7 Shareholder List. After fixing a record date for a shareholder meeting, the corporation shall prepare a list of the names of its shareholders entitled to be given notice of the meeting. The shareholder list must be available for inspection by any shareholder, beginning on the earlier of 10 days before the meeting for which the list was prepared or 2 business days after notice of the meeting is given for which the list was prepared and continuing through the meeting, and any adjournment thereof. The list shall be available at the corporation's principal office or at a place identified in the meeting notice in the city where the meeting is to be held.
2.8 Shareholder Quorum and Voting Requirements.
2.8.1 Quorum. Except as otherwise required by the Statutes or the articles of incorporation, a majority of the outstanding shares of the corporation, represented by person or by proxy, shall constitute a quorum at each meeting of the shareholders. If a quorum exists, action on a matter, other than the election of directors, is approved if the votes cast favoring the action exceed the votes cast opposing the action, unless the articles of incorporation or the Statutes require a greater number of affirmative votes.
2.8.2 Voting of Shares. Unless otherwise provided in the articles of incorporation or these bylaws, each outstanding share, regardless of class, is entitled to one vote upon each matter submitted to a vote at a meeting of shareholders.
2.9 Quorum and Voting requirements of Voting Groups. If the articles of incorporation or the Statutes provide for voting by a single voting group on a matter, action on that matter is taken when voted upon by that voting group.
Once a share is represented for any purpose at a meeting, it is deemed present for quorum purposes for the remainder of the meeting and for any adjournment of that meeting unless a new record date is or must be set for that adjourned meeting.
Shares entitled to vote as a separate voting group may take action on a matter at a meeting only if a quorum of those shares exists with respect to that matter. Unless the articles of incorporation or the Statutes provide otherwise, a majority of the votes entitled to be cast on the matter by the voting group constitutes a quorum of that voting group for action on that matter.
If the articles of incorporation or the Statutes provide for voting by two or more voting groups on a matter, action on that matter is taken only when voted upon by each of those voting groups counted separately. Action may be taken by one voting group on a matter even though no action is taken by another voting group entitled to vote on the matter.
If a quorum exists, action on a matter, other than the election of directors, by a voting group is approved if the votes cast within the voting group favoring the action exceed the votes cast opposing the action, unless the articles of incorporation or the Statutes require a greater number of affirmative votes.
2.10 Greater Quorum or Voting Requirements. The articles of incorporation may provide for a greater quorum or voting requirement for shareholders, or voting groups of shareholders, than is provided for by these bylaws. An amendment to the articles of incorporation that adds, changes, or deletes a greater quorum or voting requirement for shareholders must meet the same quorum requirement and be adopted by the same vote and voting groups required to take action under the quorum and voting requirement then in effect or proposed to be adopted, whichever is greater.
2.11 Proxies. At all meetings of shareholders, a shareholder may vote in person or by proxy which is executed in writing by the shareholder or which is executed by his duly authorized attorney-in-fact. Such proxy shall be filed with the Secretary of the corporation or other person authorized to tabulate votes before or at the time of the meeting. No proxy shall be valid after 11 months from the date of its execution unless otherwise provided in the proxy. All proxies are revocable unless they meet specific requirements of irrevocability set forth in the Statutes. The death or incapacity of a voter does not invalidate a proxy unless the corporation is put on notice. A transferee for value who receives shares subject to an irrevocable proxy, can revoke the proxy if he had no notice of the proxy.
2.12 Corporation's Acceptance of Votes.
2.12.1 If the name signed on a vote, consent, waiver, proxy appointment, or proxy appointment revocation corresponds to the name of a shareholder, the corporation, if acting in good faith, is entitled to accept the vote, consent, waiver, proxy appointment, or proxy appointment revocation and give it effect as the act of the shareholder.
2.12.2 If the name signed on a vote, consent, waiver, proxy appointment, or proxy appointment revocation does not correspond to the name of a shareholder, the corporation, if acting in good faith, is nevertheless entitled to accept the vote, consent, waiver, proxy appointment, or proxy appointment revocation and give it effect as the act of the shareholder if:
(a) the shareholder is an entity as defined in the Statutes and the name signed purports to be that of an officer or agent of the entity;
(b) the name signed purports to be that of an administrator, executor, guardian, or conservator representing the shareholder and, if the corporation requests, evidence of fiduciary status acceptable to the corporation has been presented with respect to the vote, consent, waiver, proxy appointment or proxy appointment revocation;
(c) the name signed purports to be that of a receiver or trustee in bankruptcy of the shareholder and, if the corporation requests, evidence of this status acceptable to the corporation has been presented with respect to the vote, consent, waiver, proxy appointment, or proxy appointment revocation; or
(d) the name signed purports to be that of a pledgee, beneficial owner, or attorney-in-fact of the shareholder and, if the corporation requests, evidence acceptable to the corporation of the signatory's authority to sign for the shareholder has been presented with respect to the vote, consent, waiver, proxy appointment or proxy appointment revocation; or
(e) two or more persons are the shareholder as co-tenants or fiduciaries and the name signed purports to be the name of at least one of the co-owners and the person signing appears to be acting on behalf of all co-tenants or fiduciaries.
2.12.3 If shares are registered in the names of two or more persons, whether fiduciaries, members of a partnership, co-tenants, husband and wife as community property, voting trustees, persons entitled to vote under a shareholder voting agreement or otherwise, or if two or more persons (including proxy holders) have the same fiduciary relationship respecting the same shares, unless the secretary of the corporation or other officer or agent entitled to tabulate votes is given written notice to the contrary and is furnished with a copy of the instrument or order appointing them or creating the relationship wherein it is so provided, their acts with respect to voting shall have the following effect:
(a) if only one votes, such act binds all;
(b) if more than one votes, the act of the majority so voting bind all;
(c) if more than one votes, but the vote is evenly split on any particular matter, each fraction may vote the securities in question proportionately.
If the instrument so filed or the registration of the shares shows that any tenancy is held in unequal interests, a majority or even split for the purpose of this Section shall be a majority or even split in interest.
2.12.4 The corporation is entitled to reject a vote, consent, waiver, proxy appointment or proxy appointment revocation if the secretary or other officer or agent authorized to tabulate votes, acting in good faith, has reasonable basis for doubt about the validity of the signature on it or about the signatory's authority to sign for the shareholder.
2.12.5 The corporation and its officer or agent who accepts or rejects a vote, consent, waiver, proxy appointment or proxy appointment revocation in good faith and in accordance with the standards of this Section are not liable in damages to the shareholder for the consequences of the acceptance or rejection.
2.12.6 Corporate action based on the acceptance or rejection of a vote, consent, waiver, proxy appointment or proxy appointment revocation under this Section is valid unless a court of competent jurisdiction determines otherwise.
2.13 Action by Shareholders Without a Meeting.
2.13.1 Written Consent. Any action required or permitted to be taken at a meeting of the shareholders may be taken without a meeting and without prior notice if one or more consents in writing, setting forth the action so taken, shall be signed by the holders of outstanding shares having not less than the minimum number of votes that would be necessary to authorize or take such action at a meeting at which all shareholders entitled to vote with respect to the subject matter thereof were present and voted. Action taken under this Section has the same effect as action taken at a duly called and convened meeting of shareholders and may be described as such in any document.
2.13.2 Post-Consent Notice. Unless the written consents of all shareholders entitled to vote have been obtained, notice of any shareholder approval without a meeting shall be given at least ten days before the consummation of the action authorized by such approval to (i) those shareholders entitled to vote who did not consent in writing, and (ii) those shareholders not entitled to vote. Any such notice must be accompanied by the same material that is required under the Statutes to be sent in a notice of meeting at which the proposed action would have been submitted to the shareholders for action.
2.13.3 Effective Date and Revocation of Consents. No action taken pursuant to this Section shall be effective unless all written consents necessary to support the action are received by the corporation within a sixty-day period and not revoked. Such action is effective as of the date the last written consent is received necessary to effect the action, unless all of the written consents specify an earlier or later date as the effective date of the action. Any shareholder giving a written consent pursuant to this Section may revoke the consent by a signed writing describing the action and stating that the consent is revoked, provided that such writing is received by the corporation prior to the effective date of the action.
2.13.4 Unanimous Consent for Election of Directors. Notwithstanding subsection (a), directors may not be elected by written consent unless such consent is unanimous by all shares entitled to vote for the election of directors.
2.14 Voting for Directors. Unless otherwise provided in the articles of incorporation, every shareholder entitled to vote for the election of directors has the right to cast, in person or by proxy, all of the votes to which the shareholder's shares are entitled for as many persons as there are directors to be elected and for whom election such shareholder has the right to vote. Directors are elected by a plurality of the votes cast by the shares entitled to vote in the election at a meeting at which a quorum is present.
ARTICLE 3. BOARD OF DIRECTORS
3.1 General Powers. Unless the articles of incorporation have dispensed with or limited the authority of the board of directors by describing who will perform some or all of the duties of a board of directors, all corporate powers shall be exercised by or under the authority, and the business and affairs of the corporation shall be managed under the direction, of the board of directors.
3.2 Number, Tenure and Qualification of Directions. The authorized number of directors shall be three (3); provided, however, that if the corporation has less than three shareholders entitled to vote for the election of directors, the board of directors may consist of a number of individuals equal to or greater than the number of those shareholders. The current number of directors shall be within the limit specified above, as determined (or as amended form time to time) by a resolution adopted by either the shareholders or the directors. Each director shall hold office until the next annual meeting of shareholders or until the director's earlier death, resignation, or removal. However, if his term expires, he shall continue to serve until his successor shall have been elected and qualified, or until there is a decrease in the number of directors. Directors do not need to be residents of Nevada or shareholders of the corporation.
3.3 Regular Meetings of the Board of Directors. A regular meeting of the board of directors shall be held without other notice than this bylaw immediately after, and at the same place as, the annual meeting of shareholders, for the purpose of appointing officers and transacting such other business as may come before the meeting. The board of directors may provide, by resolution, the time and place for the holding of additional regular meetings without other notice than such resolution.
3.4 Special Meetings of the Board of Directors. Special meetings of the board of directors may be called by or at the request of the president or any director. The person authorized to call special meetings of the board of directors may fix any place as the place for holding any special meeting of the board of directors.
3.5 Notice of, and Waiver of Notice for, Special Director Meeting. Unless the articles of incorporation provide for a longer or shorter period, notice of the date, time, and place of any special director meeting shall be given at least two days previously thereto either orally or in writing. Any director may waive notice of any meeting. Except as provided in the next sentence, the waiver must be in writing and signed by the director entitled to the notice. The attendance of a director at a meeting shall constitute a waiver of notice of such meeting, except where a director attends a meeting for the express purpose of objecting to the transaction of any business and at the beginning of the meeting (or promptly upon his arrival) objects to holding the meeting or transacting business at the meeting, and does not thereafter vote for or assent to action taken at the meeting. Unless required by the articles of incorporation, neither the business to be transacted at, nor the purpose of, any special meeting of the board of directors need be specified in the notice or waiver of notice of such meeting.
3.6 Director Quorum and Voting.
3.6.1 Quorum. A majority of the number of directors prescribed by resolution shall constitute a quorum for the transaction of business at any meeting of the board of directors unless the articles of incorporation require a greater percentage.
Unless the articles of incorporation provide otherwise, any or all directors may participate in a regular or special meeting by, or conduct the meeting through the use of, any means of communication by which all directors participating may simultaneously hear each other during the meeting. A director participating in a meeting by this means is deemed to be present in person at the meeting.
A director who is present at a meeting of the board of directors or a committee of the board of directors when corporate action is taken is deemed to have assented to the action taken unless: (1) the director objects at the beginning of the meeting (or promptly upon his arrival) to holding or transacting business at the meeting and does not thereafter vote for or assent to any action taken at the meeting; and (2) the director contemporaneously requests his dissent or abstention as to any specific action be entered in the minutes of the meeting; or (3) the director causes written notice of his dissent or abstention as to any specific action be received by the presiding officer of the meeting before its adjournment or to the corporation immediately after adjournment of the meeting. The right of dissent or abstention is not available to a director who votes in favor of the action taken.
3.7 Director Action Without a Meeting. Any action required or permitted to be taken by the board of directors at a meeting may be taken without a meeting if all the directors consent to such action in writing. Action taken by consent is effective when the last director signs the consent, unless, prior to such time, any director has revoked a consent by a signed writing received by the corporation, or unless the consent specifies a different effective date. A signed consent has the effect of a meeting vote and may be described as such in any document.
3.8 Resignation of Directors. A director may resign at any time by giving a written notice of resignation to the corporation. Such resignation is effective when the notice is received by the corporation, unless the notice specifies a later effective date.
3.9 Removal of Directors. The shareholders may remove one or more directors at a meeting called for that purpose if notice has been given that a purpose of the meeting is such removal. The removal may be with or without cause unless the articles of incorporation provide that directors may only be removed with cause. If a director is elected by a voting group of shareholders, only the shareholders of that voting group may participate in the vote to remove him. A director may be removed only if the number of votes cast to remove him exceeds the number of votes cast not to remove him.
3.10 Board of Director Vacancies. Unless the articles of incorporation provide otherwise, if a vacancy occurs on the board of directors, including a vacancy resulting from an increase in the number of directors, the shareholders may fill the vacancy. During such time that the shareholders fail or are unable to fill such vacancies then and until the shareholders act:
(a) the board of directors may fill the vacancy; or
(b) if the board of directors remaining in office constitute fewer than a quorum of the board, they may fill the vacancy by the affirmative vote of a majority of all the directors remaining in office.
If the vacant office was held by a director elected by a voting group of shareholders:
(a) if there are one or more directors elected by the same voting group, only such directors are entitled to vote to fill the vacancy if it is filled by the directors; and
(b) only the holders of shares of that voting group are entitled to vote to fill the vacancy if it is filled by the shareholders.
A vacancy that will occur at a specific later date (by reason of a resignation effective at a later date) may be filled before the vacancy occurs but the new director may not take office until the vacancy occurs.
3.11 Director Compensation. By resolution of the board of directors, each director may be paid his expenses, if any, of attendance at each meeting of the board of directors and may be paid a stated salary as director or a fixed sum for attendance at each meeting of the board of directors or both. No such payment shall preclude any director from serving the corporation in any other capacity and receiving compensation therefor.
3.12 Director Committees.
3.12.1 Creation of Committees. Unless the article sof incorporation provide otherwise, the board of directors may create one or more committees and appoint members of the board of directors to serve on them. Each committee must have one or more members, who shall serve at the pleasure of the board of directors.
3.12.2 Selection of Members. The creation of a committee and appointment of members to it must be approved by the greater of (1) a majority of all the directors in office when the action is taken or (2) the number of directors required by the articles of incorporation to take such action.
3.12.3 Required Procedures. Those Sections of this Article 3 which govern meetings, actions without meetings, notice and waiver of notice, quorum and voting requirements of the board of directors, apply to committees and their members.
3.12.4 Authority. Unless limited by the article sof incorporation, each committee may exercise those aspects of the authority of the board of directors which the board of directors confers upon such committee in the resolution creating the committee. Provided, however, a committee may not:
(a) authorize distributions;
(b) approve or propose to shareholders action that the Statutes require be approved by shareholders;
(c) fill vacancies on the board of directors or on any of its committees;
(d) amend the articles of incorporation pursuant to the authority of directors to do so;
(e) adopt, amend or repeal bylaws;
(f) approve a plan of merger not requiring shareholder approval;

6.6 Corporation's Acquisition of Shares. The corporation may acquire its own shares and the shares so acquired constitute authorized but unissued shares.
If the articles of incorporation prohibit the reissue of acquired shares, the number of authorized shares is reduced by the number of shares acquired, effective upon amendment of the articles of incorporation, which amendment may be adopted by the shareholders or the board of directors without shareholder action.

(b) the reduction in the number of authorized shares, itemized by class and series;

(a) the articles of incorporation or the Statutes reserve this power exclusively to the shareholders in whole or part; or
(b) the shareholders in adopting, amending, or repealing a particular bylaw provide expressly that the board of directors may not amend or repeal that bylaw; or
(c) the bylaw either establishes, amends, or deletes, a greater shareholder quorum or voting requirement.

The execution and delivery of this Plan does not, and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby will not, violate any provision of IMT's Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws.

As of the date hereof all common shares of IMT issued and outstanding are fully paid, non-assessable shares. There are no outstanding options, warrants, obligations convertible into shares of stock, or calls or any understanding, agreements, commitments, contracts or promises with respect to the issuance of IMT's common stock or with regard to any options, warrants or other contractual rights to acquire any of IMT's authorized but unissued common shares.
4.3 Conduct of Business. IMT will use its best efforts to maintain and preserve its business organization, employee relationships and goodwill intact, and will not, without the prior written consent of Shur De Cor, enter into any material commitments except in the ordinary course of business.

4.6 Books and Records. From the date hereof, and for any reasonable period subsequent thereto, IMT and its present management will (i) give to Shur De Cor, or their duly authorized representatives, full access, during normal business hours, to all of its books, records, contracts and other corporate documents and properties so that Shur De Cor, or their duly authorized representatives, may inspect them; and (ii) furnish such information concerning the properties and affairs of IMT as the Shareholders and IMT, or their duly authorized representatives, may reasonably request.

4.8 Investment Intent. The Shareholders represent and covenant that they are acquiring the unregistered and restricted common shares of Shur De Cor to be delivered to them under this Plan for investment purposes and not with a view to the subsequent sale or distribution thereof, and as agreed, supra, the Shareholders, their successors and assigns agree to execute and deliver to Shur De Cor on the date of Closing or no later than the date on which the restricted shares are issued and delivered to the Shareholders, their assigns, or designees, an Investment Letter similar in form to that attached hereto as Exhibit B.

IMT agrees to indemnify and hold Shur De Cor harmless, including each of its Directors and Officers, and each person, if any, who controls such party, under any applicable law from and against any and all losses, claims, damages, expenses or liabilities to which any of them may become subject under applicable law, or reimburse them for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by them in connection with investigating or defending any such actions, whether or not resulting in liability, insofar as such losses, claims, damages, expenses, liabilities or actions arise out of or are based on any untrue statement, alleged untrue statement, or omission of a material fact contained in such information delivered hereunder.
5.2 Shur De Cor Information Incorporated in IMT's Reports. Shur De Cor represents and warrants to IMT that all the information furnished under this Plan shall be true and correct in all material respects and that there is no omission of any material fact required to make the information stated not misleading. The current officers and directors of Shur De Cor agree to indemnify and hold IMT harmless, including each of its Directors and Officers, and each person, if any, who controls such party, under any applicable law from and against any and all losses, claims, damages, expenses or liabilities to which any of them may become subject under applicable law, or reimburse them for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by them in connection with investigating or defending any such actions, whether or not resulting in liability, insofar as such losses, claims, damages, expenses, liabilities or actions arise out of or are based on any untrue statement, alleged untrue statement, or omission of a material fact contained in such information delivered hereunder.
5.3 Special Covenants and Representations Regarding the Exchanged Shur De Cor Stock. The consummation of this Plan and the transactions herein contemplated, including the issuance of the Shur De Cor shares in exchange for one hundred percent (100%) of the issued and outstanding shares of IMT to the Shareholders constitutes the offer and sale of securities under the Securities Act and the applicable state statutes, which depend, inter alia, on the circumstances under which the Shareholders acquire such securities. Shur De Cor intends to rely on the exemption of the registration provision of Section 5 of the Securities Act as provided for under Section 4.2 of the Securities Act of 1933, which states "transactions not involving a public offering", among others. Each Shareholder upon submission of his IMT shares and the receipt of the Shur De Cor shares exchanged therefor, shall execute and deliver to Shur De Cor a letter of investment intent to indicate, among other representations, that the Shareholder is exchanging the IMT shares for Shur De Cor shares for investment purposes and not with a view to the subsequent distribution thereof. A proposed Investment Letter is attached hereto as Exhibit B and incorporated herein by reference for the general use by the Shareholders, as they may determine.
5.4 Action Prior to Closing. Upon the execution hereof until the Closing date, and the completion of the consolidated audited financials,
(a) IMT and Shur De Cor will (i) perform all of its obligations under material contracts, leases, insurance policies and/or documents relating to its assets and business; (ii) use its best efforts to maintain and preserve its business organization intact, to retain its key employees, and to maintain its relationship with existing potential customers and clients; and (iii) fully comply with and perform in all material respects all duties and obligations imposed on it by all federal and state laws and all rules, regulations, and orders imposed by all federal or state governmental authorities.
(b) Neither IMT nor Shur De Cor will (i) make any change in its Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws except and unless as contemplated pursuant to Section 3 of this Plan; (ii) enter into or amend any contract, agreement, or other instrument of the types described in the parties' schedules, except that a party may enter into or amend any contract or other instrument in the ordinary course of business involving the sale of goods or services, provided that such contract does not involve obligations in excess of $10,000.
