PROSPECTUS SUMMARY
CORPORATE BACKGROUND
Cyber-Vitamin was organized on February 1, 2000. We have just recently launched our e-commerce website in
August, 2000, to engage in our

any vitamin sales so far. We intend to begin advertising and promotion of the
website upon the receipt of the first proceeds of this offering, if any, which
we predict will occur by June 30, 2000. Our plan of operations depends upon
raising sufficient funds to engage in traditional and Internet advertising and
promotion of our web site and products. Cyber-Vitamin is controlled by two
individuals who devote only 25% each of their time to the business of Cyber-
Vitamin. There can be no assurance that Cyber-Vitamin's common stock will ever
develop a market.

RISK FACTORS
Prospective Investors in the Shares offered should carefully consider the following risk factors, in addition to the other information appearing in this prospectus.
Cyber-Vitamin is a development stage company with no operating history, which may make it difficult to evaluate our future prospects.
Cyber-Vitamin's prospects must be considered in light of the risks, expenses, delays and difficulties frequently encountered in establishing a new business in an industry characterized by intense competition. Since inception, Cyber- Vitamin has incurred losses of $1,950, and we expect to incur net losses in the foreseeable future. These losses are in the form of pre-operating expenses, since we have just begun operations.
Our financial status creates a doubt whether we will continue as a going concern, and, if we do not continue as a going concern, investors may lose their entire investment.
As noted in note 4 to our financial statements, we have nominal assets and no current operations with which to create operating capital. We seek to raise operating capital to promote and advertise our web site in an offering of our common stock on Form SB-2. Our company's plan specifies a minimum amount of $10,000 in operating capital to operate for the next 12 months. However, there can be no assurance that such offering will be successful.
Our success depends on generating awareness of the Cyber-Vitamin name in association with the vitamins we sell.
We intend to spend the majority of proceeds from this and future offerings on marketing and promotional expenditures for our website, which may not be successful in generating any awareness of our website. We must establish, maintain and enhance the Cyber-Vitamin name to attract customers to our website and to generate revenues from product sales. Name recognition and customer loyalty will become increasingly important as more companies with established brands in online services or vitamins, nutritional supplements and minerals offer competing services on the Internet. Development of the Cyber-Vitamin name will depend largely on our success in providing a quality online shopping experience supported by high levels of customer service.
If we are not successful in raising at least $10,000 in the next twelve months, investors may lose their entire investment.
If we are unsuccessful in raising at least $10,000 from this offering for our operations during the next twelve months, we will be unable to pay our minimum operating expenses, and, unless we have financial contributions from our principal, we will be forced to temporarily or permanently cease our operations. This may result in investors losing their entire investment.
We will need additional capital to fund our expected needs for working capital and capital expenditures.
We require substantial capital to fund our business. Since our inception, we
have experienced negative cash flow from operations and expect to experience
significant negative cash flow from operations for the foreseeable future. We
expect that the net proceeds of this offering will be sufficient to meet our
expected needs for working capital and capital expenditures for at least the
next 12 months. However, we may need to raise additional funds prior to the
end of this period, and, if additional capital is required, we expect to
attempt to sell additional shares though private placements of our stock.
If we raise future capital in private offerings, depending on the terms of
the private offerings, it may dilute the holdings of investors who purchase our
shares in this offering beyond the dilution figures we have presented in this
prospectus. We cannot be certain that additional financing will be
available to us when required on favorable terms or at all. Our inability to
obtain adequate capital would limit our ability to achieve the level of
corporate growth that we believe to be necessary to succeed in our business.
We depend on our two officers who comprise the entire management team at the present time.
Our success depends on hiring, retaining and integrating senior management and skilled employees in order to expand our business. We have only two officers; Robert T. Yarbray, the president, secretary, and director of Cyber- Vitmain, and George White, the chief financial officer and director, who each devote approximately 25 hours per week to our business. The loss of Mr. Yarbray or Mr. White could slow the growth of our business.
Cyber-Vitamin has complete discretion in spending proceeds of this offering.
Once this offering is complete, it is possible that we may decide not to spend any of the proceeds on further development of the website and associated advertising necessary to continue operations.
Related party transactions and possible conflicts of interest affect investors' investment in our shares.
Cyber-Vitamin has engaged in transactions with certain of its officers, directors and principal stockholders. The terms of such transactions were determined without arms' length negotiations and could create, or appear to create, potential conflicts of interest which may not necessarily be resolved in Cyber-Vitamin's favor. See "Certain Transactions."
We do not have an encrypted link for credit card sales and we may not be able to generate sales if our website and systems are not as convenient or secure as the sites of our competitors.
We currently use "DC Shop" for credit card sales, which is not as secure for consumers as an encrypted link. We plan to add an encrypted link by phase two of our plan of operations, within the second year of operations, but there can be no assurance that we will do so. This may cause consumers to avoid ordering our products due to privacy and safety concerns about their credit card information.
We must continually improve and enhance the functionality and performance of our website, order tracking and other technical systems to provide a convenient shopping experience. We must also introduce additional or enhanced features and services from time to time to attract and retain customer. Failure to improve these systems effectively or within a reasonable period of time may cause customers to visit our website less frequently or not at all. New services or features may contain errors, and we may need to modify the design of these services to correct errors. If customers encounter difficulty with or do not accept new services or features, they may buy from other online vendors and cause our sales to decline.
We face intense competition in Internet vitamin sales.
We compete with numerous resellers, manufacturers and wholesalers, including other online companies as well as retail and catalog sources. Most of our competitors may have greater access to capital than we do and may use these resources to engage in aggressive advertising and marketing campaigns. The current prevalence of aggressive advertising and promotion may generate pricing pressures to which we must respond.
Consumers may not accept an online source for our products.
Our success depends on attracting and retaining a high volume of online customers at a reasonable cost. We may not be able to convert a large number of consumers from traditional shopping methods to online shopping. Factors that could prevent or delay the widespread consumer acceptance of purchasing vitamins, nutritional supplements and minerals online, and consequently our ability to increase our revenues, include:
- shipping charges, which do not apply to shopping at traditional retail stores;
- delivery time associated with online orders, as compared to the immediate receipt of products at a physical store;
- pricing that does not meet consumer expectations of finding "the lowest price on the Internet";
- lack of consumer awareness of our online presence;
- customer concerns about the security of online transactions and the privacy of personal health information;
- product damage from shipping or shipments of wrong or expired products, which may result in a failure to establish customer trust in purchasing our products online;
- delays in responses to customer inquiries or in deliveries to customers; and
- difficulty in returning or exchanging orders.
Extensive governmental regulation could limit our sales or add significant additional costs to our business.
Because the online market for vitamins, nutritional supplements and minerals is relatively new, there is little common law or regulatory guidance that clarifies the manner in which government regulation impacts online sales. Governmental regulation may limit our sales or add significant additional costs to our business. The two principal federal agencies that regulate dietary supplements, including vitamins, nutritional supplements and minerals, are the Food and Drug Administration and the Federal Trade Commission. Among other matters, FDA regulations govern claims that assert the health or nutritional value of a product. Many FDA and FTC remedies and processes, including imposing civil penalties in the millions of dollars and commencing criminal prosecution, are available under federal statutes and regulations if product claims violate the law. Similar enforcement action may also result from noncompliance with other regulatory requirements, such as FDA labeling rules. The FDA also reviews some product claims that companies must submit for agency evaluation and may find them unacceptable. State, local and foreign authorities may also bring enforcement actions for violations of these laws.
In addition, because we sell products outside the United States, our business is also subject to the risks associated with United States and foreign legislation and regulations relating to exports. See "Business -- Government Regulation" for additional discussion of the government regulations impacting our business.
The sale of vitamins and minerals involves product liability and other risks.
Like any other distributor or manufacturer of products that are ingested, we face an inherent risk of exposure to product liability claims if the use of our products results in illness or injury. If we do not have adequate insurance or contractual indemnification, product liability claims could have a material adverse effect on our business. Cyber-Vitamin has no current product liability insurance. Manufacturers and distributors of vitamins, nutritional supplements and minerals have been named as defendants in product liability lawsuits from time to time. The successful assertion or settlement of an uninsured claim, or the failure to obtain adequate insurance coverage would harm us by adding further costs to our business and by diverting the attention of our senior management from the operation of our business.
Some of our products contain innovative ingredients or combinations of ingredients, and there is little long-term experience with human consumption of these ingredients or combinations in concentrated form. In addition, interactions of these products with other similar products, prescription medicines and over-the-counter drugs have not been fully explored. Although the manufacturers may perform research and tests in connection with the formulation and production of the products that we sell, there are no conclusive clinical studies regarding many of our products. We depend upon customer perceptions about the safety and quality of our products and of similar products distributed by our competitors. The mere publication of reports asserting that a particular product may be harmful may substantially reduce or eliminate sales of the product, regardless of whether the reports are scientifically supported and regardless of whether the harmful effects would be present at recommended dosages. Vitamins, nutritional supplements and minerals are subject to sharp increases in consumer interest, which in some cases stems from discussion of particular products in the popular press.
We depend on third party shippers to deliver our products in a timely manner.
Our customers cannot visit physical stores to pick up our products. Our product distribution relies instead on third-party delivery services, including the United States Postal Service and United Parcel Service. Strikes and other interruptions may delay the timely delivery of customer orders, and customers may refuse to purchase our products because of this loss of convenience.
Our present systems are inadequate to support rapid growth in user demand.
Our success depends on generating a high volume of traffic to our website. However, growth in the number of users accessing our website may strain or exceed the capacity of our computer systems and lead to declines in performance or system failure. We believe that our present systems will not be adequate to accommodate rapid growth in user demand.
Increased sales volume as a result of increased traffic may exceed our supply and fulfillment capabilities. Failure to accommodate increased traffic may decrease levels of customer service and satisfaction.
Our computer and communications systems may fail or experience delays.
Our success, and in particular our ability to receive and fulfill orders and provide quality customer service, depends on the efficient and uninterrupted operation of our computer systems. System interruptions may result from fire, power loss, water damage, telecommunications failures, vandalism and other malicious acts and problems related to our equipment. Our website may also experience disruptions or interruptions in service due to failures by third- party communications providers. We depend on communications providers and our website host to provide our customers with access to our website. In addition, our customers depend on their own Internet service providers for access to our website. Periodic system interruptions will occur. These occurrences may cause customers to perceive our website as not functioning properly and therefore cause them to stop using our services.
We depend on continued growth in use of the Internet and online commerce.
Our success depends upon the ability of the Internet infrastructure to support increased use. The performance and reliability of the Internet may decline as the number of online users grows or bandwidth requirements increase. The Internet has experienced a variety of outages due to damage to portions of its infrastructure. If outages or delays frequently occur in the future, Internet usage and usage of our website may grow slowly or decline. Concerns about inadequate Internet infrastructure, security, reliability, accessibility, privacy and the availability of cost-effective, high-speed service also may inhibit growth in Internet usage. Even if the necessary infrastructure or technologies develop, we may incur significant costs to adapt our operating strategy. Our success also depends upon acceptance and use of online commerce as an effective medium of commerce. Widespread use of the Internet and online commerce is a recent phenomenon. A large base of consumers may not adopt and continue to use the Internet as a medium of commerce.
We may be unable to respond to rapid changes in the online commerce industry.
To be competitive, we must continue to enhance and improve the responsiveness, functionality and features of our website. Online commerce has been characterized by rapid technological change, evolving industry standards, changes in user and customer requirements and preferences, frequent new product and service introductions embodying new technologies and the emergence of new industry standards and practices that could render our website, technology and systems obsolete. We must obtain licensed technologies useful in our business, enhance our existing services, develop new services and technologies that address sophisticated and varied consumer needs, respond to technological advances and emerging industry standards and practices on a timely and cost- effective basis and address evolving customer preferences. We may experience difficulties that delay or prevent our being able to respond to these changes.
The offering has no escrow, and investor funds may be used on receipt.
There is no escrow of any funds received by Cyber-Vitamin in this offering, and any funds received may be used by Cyber-Vitamin for any corporate purpose as the funds are received.
USE OF PROCEEDS
The net proceeds to Cyber-Vitamin from the sale of the shares of Common stock offered are estimated to be approximately $19,500 if all shares in this offering are sold. Cyber-Vitamin intends to use these proceeds for web site promotion, working capital and general corporate purposes, as follows:
Use Amount
Web site development 10,000
Web site promotion 3,500
Management salaries 0
Employee salaries 4,500
Working capital 1,500
--------
Total: $19,500

The following table shows the Company's use of proceeds if 25%, 50%, 75%, and/or 100% of the shares are sold. Further, there can be no assurance that any shares will be sold in this offering.
10% 25% 50% 75%

Totals: $1,850 $4,250 $8,500 $16,250

The allocation of the net proceeds of the Offering set forth above represents Cyber-Vitamin's best estimates based upon its current plans and certain assumptions regarding industry and general economic conditions and Cyber- Vitamin's future revenues and expenditures. If any of these factors change, Cyber-Vitamin may find it necessary or advisable to reallocate some of the proceeds within the above-described categories.
Proceeds not immediately required for the purposes described above will be invested temporarily, pending their application as described above, in short- term United States government securities, short-term bank certificates of deposit, money market funds or other investment grade, short-term, interest- bearing instruments.
DIVIDEND POLICY
Cyber-Vitamin has never declared or paid cash dividends on its capital stock. Cyber-Vitamin currently intends to retain earnings, if any, to finance the growth and development of its business and does not anticipate paying any cash dividends in the foreseeable future.
PRICE RANGE OF SECURITIES
Cyber-Vitamin's common stock is not listed or quoted at the present time, and
there is no present public market for Cyber- Vitamin's common stock. Cyber-
Vitamin has obtained a market maker who has agreed to file an application for
Cyber-Vitamin's securities to be quoted on NASD OTC Bulletin Board, upon the
effectiveness of this Registration Statement, but the obtaining of a quotation
is subject to NASD approval, and there can be no assurance that Cyber-Vitamin's
stock will be quoted on the Bulletin Board. Thus, there can be no assurance
that the NASD will accept Cyber-Vitamin's market maker's application on Form
211. Therefore, there can be no assurance that a public market for Cyber-
Vitamin's common stock will ever develop.
CAPITALIZATION
The following table sets forth the short-term debt and capitalization of Cyber- Vitamin as of December 31, 2000. The table should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial Statements, including the Notes thereto, appearing elsewhere in this Prospectus.

DILUTION
As of December 31, 2000, Cyber-Vitamin's net tangible book value was $0, or $0 per share of common stock. Net tangible book value is the aggregate amount of Cyber-Vitamin's tangible assets less its total liabilities. Net tangible book value per share represents Cyber-Vitamin's total tangible assets less its total liabilities, divided by the number of shares of common stock outstanding. After giving effect to the sale of 50,000 shares at an offering price of $.50 per share of Common stock, application of the estimated net sale proceeds (after deducting offering expenses of $5,500), Cyber-Vitamin's net tangible book value as of the closing of this offering would increase from $0 to $.005 per share. This represents an immediate increase in the net tangible book value of $.005 per share to current shareholders, and immediate dilution of $.495 per share to new investors, as illustrated in the following table:
Public offering price per share of common stock ...... $ 0.50 Net tangible book value per share before ............. $ 0 Increase per share attributable to new investors...... $ .005 Net tangible book value per share after offering...... $ .005 Dilution per share to new investors................... $ 0.495 Percentage dilution......................................99.5% |
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The following discussion should be read in conjunction with Cyber-Vitamin's Consolidated Financial Statements, including the Notes thereto, appearing elsewhere in this Prospectus.
COMPANY OVERVIEW
Cyber-Vitamin was organized on February 1, 2000, under the original name of Exotic-Bird.com, and has just recently commenced operations in August, 2000, with the launching of its new website. Cyber-Vitamin's original purpose was to sell exotic birds on the Internet, but it changed its business focus in June 2000, and its corporate name on July 3, 2000 to focus on its new business purpose of vitamin sales on the Internet. Cyber-Vitamin's former sole officer and director, Damir DeBalkany, resigned as officer and director on October 3, 2000, and was replaced by Robert T. Yarbray and George R. White. Cyber-Vitamin has just launched its e commerce site on the Internet for the purpose of engaging in the business of selling of vitamins. Since the web site has just been launched and has not been advertised or promoted yet, Cyber- Vitamin has virtually no operations, assets or revenue and has net losses consisting of pre-operating expenses, of $1,950. Cyber-Vitamin's common stock is not listed on any recognized exchange or quoted on any quotation medium. There can be no assurance that its common stock will ever develop a market.
PLAN OF OPERATIONS-IN GENERAL
Cyber-Vitamin's plan of operations is to sell vitamins on the Internet. In management's opinion, vitamins from retail outlets are too expensive for the average consumer, and the vitamins can be easily ordered from the Internet,
because, in management's opinion, they are not the type of items which require physical inspection, as vitamins are usually packaged securely and safely, and buyers of vitamins rely on the ingredients of the vitamins rather than a physical inspection of them. We will provide a satisfaction guarantee and full refund and, if customers are not satisfied, they may return the unopened product for a full refund. Cyber-Vitamin will seek to establish an aggressive marketing plan both on the Internet and conventionally.
Cyber-Vitamin presently has no cash with which to satisfy any future cash requirements. Cyber-Vitamin will need a minimum of $10,000 to satisfy its cash requirements for the next 12 months. In order to raise this minimum amount of capital, Cyber-Vitamin depends on the success of this offering in selling at least 50% of the shares offered. If we are not successful in raising in selling at least 50% of the shares in this offering, we will have to seek a private placement of our stock or borrow from our principals. We have not engaged in any private placements of our common stock to date.
Our minimum operating expenses are relatively low, and management expects that the majority of proceeds from these offerings can be invested in further development, promotion and advertising of the website, which should develop, within the next 12 months, sufficient gross revenues, to support minimum operating overhead of less than $1,000 per month. Cyber-Vitamin does not anticipate any further research and development of any products, nor does it expect to incur any research and development costs. Cyber-Vitamin does not expect the purchase or sale of plant or any significant equipment, and it does not anticipate any change in the number of its employees, with the exception of the fact that it intends to hire additional clerical employees. Cyber-Vitamin has no current material commitments. Cyber-Vitamin has generated no revenue since its inception.
Cyber-Vitamin has just recently commenced operations. It has obtained domain names for its web site, and has developed and launched an e-commerce site, www.cyber-vitamin.com, and a duplicate website at Internet-vitamin.com. The website was developed by a website developer in exchange for 100,000 common shares of Cyber-Vitamin stock. Over the next twelve months, Cyber-Vitamin plans to establish itself on over 1500 Internet search engines and Internet links. We have submitted our website name, description and search key words and have been accepted by Alta Vista, Excite, Goto.com, Lycos, Infoseek, Webcrawler, HotBot, What-U-Seek, Infomak, Northern Light, AOL Netfind, Euroferret, PlanetSearch, Rex, Anzwers, Ibcnet, Infospace, SearchKing, UK Index, Por Find, Powercrawler, Fireball, Intersearch, and over 275 links and Internet classifieds.
Since we have not yet promoted our site on these search engines and links, and have not yet done any advertising or promotion, we have not made any vitamin sales to date, and still must be considered to be a developmental stage company with limited operations and no revenue.
Cyber-Vitamin has no current plans, preliminary or otherwise, to merge with any other entity.
Cyber-Vitamin is still considered to be a development stage company, which has generated no revenue to date, and is dependent upon the raising of capital through placement of its common stock. There can be no assurance that Cyber- Vitamin will be successful in raising the capital it requires through the sale of its common stock.

FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS
This registration statement contains forward-looking statements. Cyber- Vitamin's expectation of results and other forward-looking statements contained in this registration statement involve a number of risks and uncertainties.

Cyber-Vitamin is on online source for vitamin products and content related to vitamins, nutritional supplements and minerals. Our www.cyber-vitamin.com website, which was launched in August, 2000, offers consumers an extensive selection of vitamins, nutritional supplements and minerals.
Our strategy is to become a leading online source for vitamins, nutritional supplements and minerals by positioning ourselves on Internet links and search engines, and by conventional direct mail advertising. All conventional advertising and marketing will be done internally. We do not intend to hire an outside advertising agency. Our website developer will, in return for payment in common stock, establish a regular submission schedule to all major search engines and links to sites of similar interests to establish traffic to our website, and will, along with management, analyze weekly traffic and source reports from reporting software which monitors our websites.
Our e-commerce website is located at www.cyber-vitamin.com.
BUSINESS STRATEGY
The online opportunity. We believe that the Internet is uniquely qualified to become the "channel of choice" for vitamins, nutritional supplements and minerals. Using the Internet, we offer a highly efficient solution that allows customers to research a large selection of products in the convenience and privacy of their own homes so that informed purchase decisions may be made. In addition, we believe that the privacy of the Internet enables consumers to feel more comfortable in purchasing personal products, since the information conveyed is confidential. These benefits, together with the convenience of being able to shop 24 hours per day, seven days per week, the ability to reorder products easily and the availability of a large product selection make the Internet an excellent distribution channel for these products. In November 1998, Packaged Facts called the World Wide Web an "ideal place" to market vitamins, nutritional supplements and minerals, due in part to the low shipping cost relative to the value of the products, as well as the capability of providing detailed information about a large number of products.
Our goal is to make Cyber-vitamin.com a comprehensive online source for products and information about vitamins, nutritional supplements and minerals. To achieve this goal, we are focusing on the following objectives:
-Offer a large selection of products and provide a convenient shopping experience
By offering an extensive selection of quality products, together with access to product and health-oriented information, we believe that we make our products accessible to a wide range of consumers whose level of interest and knowledge ranges from casual to sophisticated. The easy-to-use search capabilities of our website and its flexible database structure allow customers to tailor the breadth of product choice. We provide consumers with the ability to shop 24 hours per day, seven days per week.
-Offer compelling content and information. As we enhance our website, we will provide information about vitamins, nutritional supplements and minerals, and hyperlinks to credible third-party information sources about health and nutrition on well-known health-related websites, such as www.drkoop.com, www.drweil.com, www.InteliHealth.com and www.onhealth.com.
GROWTH STRATEGY
Our growth strategy focuses on maximizing the lifetime value of our customers by establishing ourselves as a "trusted provider" of vitamins, nutritional supplements and minerals and by creating long-term customer relationships. We believe that this strategy will build customer loyalty, encourage repeat purchases, increase average order size and produce recurring revenues. In order to maximize the lifetime value of our customers, we believe that we must:
- generate high levels of interest and awareness of the Cyber-Vitamin brand to encourage consumers to try online purchasing;
- build customer trust in the Cyber-Vitamin brand;
- provide helpful product information to facilitate informed purchases; and
- reward customer loyalty.
The key elements of our growth strategy include:
--Acquire new customers. Our objective is to attract new customers through aggressive marketing initiatives and strategic relationships that generate awareness of the Cyber-Vitamin brand as a comprehensive online source for both products and hyperlinks to credible third-party information sources.
- Accelerate marketing initiatives. We plan to utilize a broad range of advertising and marketing programs to build awareness of Cyber-Vitamin.com as a comprehensive online source for products and information. We will use these programs to communicate the value proposition of our website and to encourage new customers to experience online buying. Our marketing initiatives will include online and traditional media, and others and direct and database marketing.
- Build strategic relationships. We will attempt to build new strategic relationships to enhance the Cyber-Vitamin brand. Our goal is to maximize customer retention and to increase order frequency and size across our customer base. Through a combination of quality products, price and service, coupled with the personalization capabilities of the Internet, we plan to build relationships with our customers that will meet their lifetime purchasing needs for vitamins, nutritional supplements and minerals. We intend to promote customer retention and growth by utilizing the following strategies:
- Utilize customer database for target marketing. We plan to develop and target a customer database with e-mail marketing messages designed to stimulate repeat purchases and increased spending. Our database will contain a detailed customer information about the preferences and purchasing patterns of our online customers.
- Enhance customer experience. To enhance the purchasing experience, we intend to invest in technology, such as customization features, and to increase our offerings. We will use customer feedback and transaction histories to expand our product offerings and to pursue additional revenue opportunities. In addition, we will build strategic relationships and licensing arrangements to expand our content offerings.
MILESTONES
- First phase. It is anticipated that, if this offering is successful in selling all of the 50,000 shares offered, we will have enough capital to satisfy our cash requirements for the next twelve months. With this capital, we will be able to launch our Internet campaign to build awareness of our brand, and our banner advertising and improve our website by making it easier to use, more secure with advanced encryption technology, and more informative.
This is the first phase of the accomplishment of our goals. Management expects to reach this goal by the end of the sixth month following the closing of this offering, and the source of funds to accomplish this goal are from this offering. We expect to generate our first revenues as a result of this phase.
- Second phase. Our second phase includes the acceleration of our marketing activities by conventional direct advertising, the establishment of strategic relationships and the expansion of our supplier base, which can only be accomplished by hiring additional clerical personnel and by the raising of additional capital, which we plan to accomplish by private placements of common stock, in the event the funds from this offering are not sufficient. There are no commitments to purchase any of our common stock in a private placement, but we do have private sources to solicit for private placement capital. The successful private placement of our common stock depends upon us establishing a quote for our stock on a national quotation service such as the pink sheets or the NASD Bulletin Board, and there can be no assurance that this can be accomplished. We will continue to rely upon Internet expertise of outside technicians in return for common stock for the improvement of our website and the launching of our Internet campaign to build awareness of our brand, in the event we are unable to raise sufficient capital. The cost of the second phase is estimated by management to be a minimum of $100,000 to a maximum of $250,000. There can be no assurance that we will be able to raise this capital. Depending upon the ability to raise the capital necessary for this phase, we expect that it will be accomplished by the twelfth month after closing of this offering.
ADVERTISING AND MARKETING
We intend to pursue comprehensive advertising and marketing campaigns. We have begun to develop name awareness by submitting our website to search engines, at a cost to us of approximately $150 per month. After the receipt of the proceeds of this offering, if any, we intend to implement an aggressive online advertising and marketing campaign to increase awareness of the Cyber-Vitamin name and to acquire new customers through multiple channels, including traditional and online advertising, direct marketing and expansion and strengthening of our strategic relationships. We believe that the use of multiple marketing channels reduces reliance on any one source of customers, maximizes brand awareness and promotes customer acquisition. In addition to the specific strategies discussed below, we will seek to maximize the lifetime value of our customers by focusing on purchase frequency and customer retention.
Traditional and online advertising. We intend to pursue a traditional media- based advertising campaign that may include television, radio, print, outdoor and event-based advertising, as well as an aggressive online campaign to build consumer awareness of our website.
Cyber-Vitamin will seek to promote its web site and attract visitors to it by becoming predominant on major search engines and banner advertisements. In addition, Cyber-Vitamin will promote its web site and its products by conventional advertising and marketing.
To help achieve its sales goals, Cyber-Vitamin plans to implement an aggressive online marketing campaign. The objective will be to name awareness for Cyber- Vitamin in the online community and to continually acquire new visitors to its Web site. One of the best ways to attract this target audience is to achieve high visibility in the places where prospective customers are likely to be browsing. Cyber-Vitamin's online campaign will target sites that generate high traffic from Internet users who fit Cyber- Vitamin's customer profile. In order to create this market presence and increase customer awareness, Cyber-Vitamin intends to promote its Web site on the most effective search engines, directories and promotional sites the Internet offers. However, there can be no assurance that it will implement these programs. The programs to establish visibility and increase traffic to the web site include directory submissions to make sure Cyber-Vitamin is listed in the top five listings on the major search engines such as Yahoo, America Online, Excite, Infoseek, HotBot, AltaVista, and Lycos, when a potential visitor types in key words related to software sales. The reason for this is that many new e commerce consumers seeking vendors of merchandise will perform searches on the major search engines for information. Of course, there can be no assurance that Cyber- Vitamin can obtain such a status, but it will continually update its submissions to search engines to keep them current and will update its site weekly. Cyber-Vitamin will review its site data to optimize its listing. Once the site data has been perfected, Cyber-Vitamin's site will be submitted to the top 75 search engines and promotional sites. While listing a Web site with the search engines and promotional sites is a high priority for the foundation of Cyber-Vitamin's Internet program, targeted links with sites of similar interest is another powerful method of obtaining visitors that are interested in Cyber- Vitamin's site. Cyber-Vitamin will search for sites of similar interest where it is likely to find its target audience to place targeted links. These links will increase targeted traffic to Cyber-Vitamin's Web site.
Cyber-Vitamin intends to design a professional banner and place it with various sites and banner exchange facilities on a "reciprocal" basis, at no charge to Cyber-Vitamin. Cyber-Vitamin also plans to purchase online ad banners on highly trafficked Web sites that appeal to Cyber-Vitamin's target audience. We have not yet placed banners on any sites.
Cyber-Vitamin intends to announce its products and services on the Web in press releases through PR Newswire. Favorable articles or editorial pieces about Cyber-Vitamin's Web site can generate tremendous visibility and opportunity to sell its products and services. Cyber-Vitamin will e-mail its press releases to targeted publications selected from a database of over 30,000 media resources. We will send our e mail press releases to approximately 1,000 media resources. Press releases can be distributed within 72 hours.
COMPETITION
The vitamin, nutritional supplement and mineral market is highly fragmented and competitive. In addition, the online commerce market in which we operate is new, rapidly evolving and highly competitive. We expect competition to intensify in the future because current and new competitors can launch websites at a relatively low cost.
We compete with a variety of companies, including health/natural specialty retailers, drugstores, supermarkets and grocery stores and mass merchant retailers. Our competitors operate in one or more distribution channels, including online commerce, retail stores, catalog operations or direct selling. The companies referred to below are market leaders in this industry. We currently have a weak competitive position compared to these companies.
- Health/natural specialty retailers. This category is highly fragmented and includes local, regional and national chains, as well as catalog marketers and online retailers. The largest participant in this sector is General Nutritional Centers, which has a nationwide presence and recently launched a website. Another large competitor is NBTY, which sells exclusively private-label products through its Puritan's Pride and Nutrition Headquarters mail order catalogs and its Vitamin World retail stores. NBTY also sells through separate Vitamin World and Puritan's Pride websites. In addition, Rexall Sundown, a large manufacturer of vitamins, nutritional supplements and minerals, sells directly to consumers through both catalog and direct mail operations. Competitors focusing exclusively on online operations include www.MotherNature.com and www.GreenTree.com. Another significant competitor is The Vitamin Shoppe, and the affiliated, Vitaminshoppe.com, who has recently launched their own website. All of these competitors have greater financial resources, product sourcing and experience than Cyber-Vitamin and there can be no assurance that Cyber-Vitamin will be able to compete successfully on the same scale as these potential competitors.
- Drugstores. This category is dominated by national chains, such as Walgreen's, CVS and RiteAid. Most national chains have a limited online presence, if any. Others have recently acquired an online presence, as CVS did when it acquired www.soma.com and RiteAid did when it invested in www.drugstore.com. Recent online entrants include www.drugstore.com and www.planetRx.com. This category currently offers a moderate selection of vitamins, nutritional supplements and minerals, focusing instead on prescriptions and over-the-counter products.
- Supermarkets and grocery stores. This category includes traditional supermarkets, such as Safeway and Kroger, and natural-food markets, such as Whole Foods and Wild Oats. Some of these companies have entered the online market with a limited offering of vitamins, nutritional supplements and minerals. Online grocery stores, such as www.Peapod.com and www.netgrocer.com, also compete against us. This category generally offers a limited selection of vitamins, nutritional supplements and minerals and infrequent discounts.
- Mass merchant retailers. This category is dominated by companies such as Wal-Mart, Kmart and Target, which have extensive retail locations but limited online presence. These chains offer attractive pricing on vitamins, nutritional supplements and minerals but have limited selection at retail stores and offer little product information. Many of our current and potential competitors have longer operating histories, larger customer bases, greater brand recognition and significantly greater financial, marketing and other resources than we do. Our competitors may develop products or services that are equal or superior to our solutions and may achieve greater market acceptance than we do. In addition, larger, well-established and well-financed entities may acquire, invest in or form joint ventures with online competitors or suppliers as the use of the Internet increases.
THE PRODUCTS
Vitamins and minerals.
Vitamins and minerals are sold in single vitamin and multi- vitamin form, and in different potency levels. Products are produced in tablets, soft gelatin and hard-shell capsules and powder forms. We obtain our products from nationally known suppliers; Twin Laboratories, Inc. and Natrol, Inc. We have no written agreements with our suppliers. These vitamins and nutritional products include acidophilus, amino acid products, antioxidants, B-Complex vitamins, Vitamin C products, Vitamin E products, Vitamins, A,D, and K, Bee products, beta carotene, calcium products, chondroitin/glucosamine, chromium, coenzyme Q-10, cranberry products, Echinacea/goldenseal, EPA and Fish oils, evening primrose, linseed, garlic, ginkgo biloba, ginseng, Grapeseed/pycnogenol, L- Carnitine, Lecithin, Milk Thistle, Mineral products, MSM products, multiple vitamins, saw palmetto, selenium, shark cartilage, and St. John's Wort.
Sports Nutrition Products.
Sports nutrition products are food and dietary supplements designed to be taken in conjunction with a fitness program. Management believes that these products, which include various protein and weight gain powders, sports drinks, sports bars, and high potency vitamin formulations, appeal to consumers who are engaged in regular exercise, including athletes who are in training to gain weight and develop their physique. Over 200 different sports nutrition products will be offered by Cyber- Vitamin.
Warehousing and Distribution
Cyber-Vitamin will distribute its products to the consumer by mail after order directly from a small warehouse/storage facility operated by us. It is Cyber- Vitamin's policy that all products received from suppliers be reviewed by Cyber-Vitamin's personnel prior to sale to assure that such products and their labels are reviewed for compliance with federal law.
GOVERNMENTAL REGULATION
The processing, formulation, packaging, labeling and advertising of the Company's products are subject to regulation by one or more federal agencies, including the Food and Drug Administration, Federal Trade Commission, the Consumer Product Safety Commission, the United States Department of Agriculture and the Environmental Protection Agency. These activities are also regulated by various agencies of the states and localities in which the Company's products are sold. The FDA, in particular, regulates the formulation, manufacture, and labeling of dietary supplements. Principally through the efforts of the dietary supplement industry, on October 25, 1994, the Dietary Supplement Health and Education Act of 1994 was signed into law. The law amends the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act and, in the judgment of the Company, is favorable to the dietary supplement industry. First and foremost, the legislation creates a new statutory class of "dietary supplements". This new class includes vitamins, minerals, herbs, amino acids and other dietary substances for human use to supplement the diet. A dietary supplement which contains a new dietary
ingredient, one not on the market as of October 15, 1994, will require evidence of a history of use or other evidence of safety establishing that it will reasonably be expected to be safe, such evidence to be provided by the manufacturer or distributor to the FDA before it may be marketed. The legislation also recognizes the need for the dissemination of information about the link between nutrition and health and provides that publications, which are not false and misleading and present a balanced view of available scientific information on a dietary supplement, may be used in connection with the sale of dietary supplements to consumers. Among other changes, the new law prevents the further regulation of dietary ingredients as "food additives" and allows the use of statements of nutritional support on product labels and in other labeling.
On September 23, 1997, the FDA issued final new regulations to implement the 1994 legislation. Among other things, these new regulations establish a procedure for dietary supplement companies to notify the FDA about the intended marketing of a new dietary ingredient or about the use in labeling of statements of nutritional support. The regulations also establish a new format for nutrition labeling on dietary supplements. The new format became mandatory on March 23, 1999.

This makes it subject to reporting, disclosure and other rules imposed on broker-dealers by the Securities and Exchange Commission requiring brokers and dealers to do the following in connection with transactions in penny stocks:
1. Prior to the transaction, to approve the person's account for transactions in penny stocks by obtaining information from the person regarding his or her financial situation, investment experience and objectives, to reasonably determine based on that information that transactions in penny stocks are suitable for the person, and that the person has sufficient knowledge and experience in financial matters that the person or his or her independent advisor reasonably may be expected to be capable of evaluating the risks of transactions in penny stocks. In addition, the broker or dealer must deliver to the person a written statement setting forth the basis for the determination and advising in highlighted format that it is unlawful for the broker or dealer to effect a transaction in a penny stock unless the broker or dealer has received, prior to the transaction, a written agreement from the person. Further, the broker or dealer must receive a manually signed and dated written agreement from the person in order to effectuate any transactions is a penny stock.
2. Prior to the transaction, the broker or dealer must disclose to the customer the inside bid quotation for the penny stock and, if there is no inside bid quotation or inside offer quotation, he or she must disclose the offer price for the security transacted for a customer on a principal basis unless exempt from doing so under the rules.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT
CYBER-VITAMIN.COM
(A Development Stage Company)
|
I have audited the accompanying balance sheets of Cyber- Vitamin.com (a development stage company) as of December 31, 2000, and the related statements of operations, stockholders' equity, and cash flows for the period inception (February 1, 2000) to December 31, 2000. These financial statements are the responsibility of Cyber-Vitamin's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.
I conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards. 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.
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as going concern. As discussed in Note 4 to the financial statements, the Company has an accumulated deficit of $1,950 at December 31, 2000. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as going concern. Management's plan in regard to these matters is also discussed in Note 4. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
In my opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Cyber-Vitamin.com, Inc. (a development stage company) as of December 31, 2000, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the period February 1, 2000 (inception) to December 31, 2000, in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

(A DEVELOPMENT STAGE COMPANY)
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FROM 2/1/00 (INCEPTION) TO December 31, 2000
NOTE 1. DESCRIPTION OF THE BUSINESS
Cyber-Vitamin was incorporated under the laws of the state of California on
February 1, 2000, under the original name of Exotic-Bird.com. The purpose for
which the Corporation is organized is to engage in any lawful act or activity
for which a corporation may be organized under the General Corporation Law of
the State of California including, without limitation, to provide sales of
vitamins on the Internet.
Cyber-Vitamin has been in the development stage since its formation on February 1, 2000. Planned principal operations have only recently commenced since then, but Cyber-Vitamin has not generated any significant revenue.
NOTE 2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
A. Cyber-Vitamin uses the accrual method of accounting.
B. Revenues and are recognized and recorded when ordered goods are paid for by credit card. Expenses are realized and recorded when invoiced.
C. Cyber-Vitamin considers all short term, highly liquid investments that are readily convertible, within three months, to known amounts as cash equivalents. Cyber-Vitamin currently has no cash equivalents.
D. Basic and Diluted Earnings Per Share amounts are based on the weighted average number of shares outstanding at the dates of the financial statements. Fully Diluted Earnings Per Shares shall be shown on stock options and other convertible issues that may be exercised within ten years of the financial statement dates.
E. Estimates: The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
NOTE 3. INCOME TAXES
Cyber-Vitamin has adopted the provisions of SFAS No. 109 "Accounting for Income Taxes". SFAS 109 requires recognition of deferred tax liabilities and assets for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been included in the financial statements or tax returns. Under this method, deferred tax liabilities and assets are determined based on the differences between the financial statement and tax basis of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to reverse. Cyber-Vitamin has incurred losses that can be carried forward to offset future earnings if conditions of the Internal Revenue Codes are met.
Cyber-Vitamin shares office space and telephone services of the President of Cyber-Vitamin at no charge.
NOTE 4. GOING CONCERN
The Company has nominal assets and no current operations with which to create operating capital. The Company has accumulated deficits of $1,950 at December 31, 2000. The Company seeks to raise operating capital to promote and advertise its web site in an offering of its common stock on Form SB-2. The company's plan specifies a minimum amount of $10,000 in operating capital to operate for the next 12 months. However, there can be no assurance that such offering will be successful.
NOTE 5. FISCAL YEAR END. Cyber-Vitamin's fiscal year end is December 31st.
NOTE 6. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS. Cyber-Vitamin issued unregistered common
stock to its President, in exchange for services as President, Secretary and
Treasurer, and to non management consultants and employees in exchange for
their services. The issuance of shares were recorded at their fair market
value of par value. This is deemed appropriate, rather than recording the
issuance of shares at the offering price, since Cyber-Vitamin's shares have no
current book value.
No dealer, salesperson, or other person has been authorized to give any information or to make any representations in connection with this offering other than contained in this prospectus and, if given or made, such information and representations must not be relied upon as having been authorized by Cyber- Vitamin. This prospectus does not constitute an offer to sell or a solicitation of an offer to buy any security other than the securities offered by this prospectus, or an offer to sell or solicitation of any offer to buy any securities by any person in any jurisdiction in which such offer or solicitation is not authorized or is unlawful. The information in this prospectus may be accurate only on the date of this prospectus, even if this prospectus is delivered to you or you buy common stock after that date. Until , 2001 (25 days after the commencement of this offering), all dealers that effect transactions in these securities, whether or not participating in the offering, may be required to deliver a prospectus.

ITEM 28. UNDERTAKINGS.
The undersigned Company undertakes to:
(a) (1) File, during any period in which it offers or sells securities, a post-effective amendment to this Registration Statement to:
(I) Include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act;
(ii) Reflect in the prospectus any facts or events which, individually or together, represent a fundamental change in the information in the Registration Statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than a 20 percent change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the "Calculation of Registration Fee" table in the effective registration statement;
(iii) Include any additional or changed material information on the plan of distribution. (2) For determining liability under the Securities Act, treat each post-effective amendment as a new registration statement of the securities offered, and the offering of the securities at that time to be the initial bona fide offering. (3) File a post-effective amendment to remove from registration any of the securities that remain unsold at the end of the offering.
(e) Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 (the "Act") may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of Cyber-Vitamin pursuant to the provisions referred to under Item 24 of this Registration Statement, or otherwise, Cyber-Vitamin has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Act and is, therefore, unenforceable.
In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by Cyber-Vitamin of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or a controlling person of Cyber-Vitamin in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the Company will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of competent jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
(f) (1) For determining any liability under the Securities Act, treat the information omitted from the form of prospectus filed as part of this Registration Statement in reliance upon Rule 430A and contained in a form of prospectus filed by Cyber- Vitamin under Rule 424(b)(1), or (4), or 497(h) under the Securities Act as part of this Registration Statement as of the time the Commission declared it effective.
(2) For determining any liability under the Securities Act, treat each post-effective amendment that contains a form of prospectus as a new registration statement for the securities offered in the registration statement, and that offering of the securities at that time as the initial bona fide offering of those securities.

Written notice of each annual meeting shall be mailed to each shareholder entitled to vote, addressed to such shareholder at his address appearing on the books of the corporation or given by him to the corporation for the purpose of notice. If a shareholder gives no address, notice shall be deemed to have been given if sent by mail or other means of written communication addressed to the place where the principal executive office of the corporation is situated, or if published at least once in some newspaper of general circulation in the county in which said office is located. All such notices shall be mailed, postage prepaid, to each shareholder entitled thereto not less than ten (10) days nor more than sixty (60) days before each annual meeting. Such notices shall specify the place, the day, and the hour of such meeting, the names of the nominees for election as Directors if Directors are to be elected at the meeting, and those matters which the Board of Directors intends to present for action by the shareholders, and shall state such other matters, if any, as may be expressly required by statute.
5. SPECIAL MEETINGS. Special meetings of the shareholders, may be called at any time by the Chairman of the Board of Directors, if any, the President or any Vice President, or by the Board of Directors, or by one or more shareholders holding not less than ten (10%) percent of the voting power of the corporation. Except in special cases where other express provision is made by statute, notice of such special meeting shall be given in the same manner as for an annual meeting of shareholders. Said notice shall specify the general nature of the business to be transacted at the meeting. No business shall be transacted at a special meeting except as stated in the notice sent to shareholders, unless by the unanimous consent of all shareholders represented at the meeting, either in person or by proxy. Upon written request to the Chairman of the Board, the President, the Secretary or any Vice President of the corporation by any person (but not the Board of Directors) entitled to call a special meeting of shareholders, the person receiving such request shall cause a notice to be given to the shareholders entitled to vote that a meeting will be held at a time requested by the person calling the meeting not less than thirty-five (35) nor more than sixty (60) days after the receipt of the request.
6. ADJOURNED MEETINGS AND NOTICE THEREOF. Any shareholders' meeting, annual or special, whether or not a quorum is present, may be adjourned from time to time by the vote of a majority of the shares the holders of which are either present in person or represented by proxy thereat, but in the absence of a quorum no other business may be transacted at such meeting.
Notice of an adjourned meeting need not be given if (a) the meeting is adjourned for forty-five (45) days or less, (b) the time and place of the adjourned meeting are announced at the meeting at which the adjournment is taken, and (c) no new record date is fixed for the adjourned meeting.

8. QUORUM. A majority of the shares entitled to vote, represented in person or by proxy, constitutes a quorum for the transaction of business. No business may be transacted at a meeting in the absence of a quorum other than the adjournment of such meeting, except that if a quorum is present at the commencement of a meeting, business may be transacted until the meeting is adjourned even though the withdrawal of shareholders results in less than a quorum. If a quorum is present at a meeting, the affirmative vote of a majority of the shares represented at the meeting and entitled to vote on any matter shall be the act of the shareholders unless the vote of a larger number is required by law or the Articles of Incorporation. If a quorum is present at the commencement of a meeting but the withdrawal of shareholders results in less than a quorum, the affirmative vote of the majority of shares required to constitute a quorum shall be the act of the shareholders unless the vote of a larger number is required by law or the Articles of Incorporation. Any meeting of shareholders, whether or not a quorum is present, may be adjourned by the vote of a majority of the shares represented at the meeting.
9. CONSENT OF ABSENTEES. The transactions of any meeting of shareholders, however called and noticed and wherever held, are as valid as though had at a meeting duly held after regular call and notice, if a quorum is present either in person or by proxy and if, either before or after the meeting, each of the persons entitled to vote who is not present at the meeting in person or by proxy signs a written waiver of notice, a consent to the holding of the meeting or an approval of the minutes of the meeting. For such purposes a shareholder shall not be considered present at a meeting if, at the beginning of the meeting, the shareholder objects to the transaction of any business because the meeting was not properly called or convened or, with respect to the consideration of a matter required to be included in the notice for the meeting which was not so included, the shareholder expressly objects to such consideration at the meeting.
10. ACTION WITHOUT MEETING. Except as provided below or by the Articles of Incorporation, any action which may be taken at any meeting of shareholders may be taken without a meeting and without prior notice if a consent in writing, setting forth the action so taken, is signed by the holders of outstanding shares having no less than the minimum number of votes which would be necessary to authorize or take such action at a meeting at which all shares entitled to vote on such action were present and voted. Unless the consents of all shareholders entitled to vote have been solicited in writing, the corporation shall give, to those shareholders entitled to vote who have not consented in writing, a written notice of (a) any shareholder approval obtained without a meeting pursuant to those provisions of the California Corporations Code set forth in Subsection 603(b)(l) of such Code at least ten (10) days before the consummation of the action authorized by such approval, and (b) the taking of any other action approved by shareholders without a meeting, which notice shall be given promptly after such action is taken.
11. PROXIES. A shareholder may be represented at any meeting of shareholders by a written proxy signed by the person entitled to vote or by such person's duly authorized attorney- in-fact. A proxy must bear a date within eleven (11) months prior to the meeting, unless the proxy specifies a different length of time. A revocable proxy is revoked by a writing delivered to the Secretary of the corporation stating that the proxy is revoked or by a subsequent proxy executed by, or by attendance at the meeting and voting in person by, the person executing the proxy.
12. ELECTION INSPECTORS. One or three election inspectors may be appointed by the Board of Directors in advance of a meeting of shareholders or at the meeting by the Chairman of the meeting. If not previously chosen, one or three inspectors shall be appointed by the Chairman of the meeting if a shareholder or proxyholder so requests. When inspectors are appointed at the request of a shareholder or proxyholder, the majority of shares represented in person or by proxy shall determine whether one or three inspectors shall be chosen. The election inspectors shall determine all questions concerning the existence of a quorum and the right to vote, shall tabulate and determine the results of voting and shall do all other acts necessary or helpful to the expeditious and impartial conduct of the vote. If there are three inspectors, the decision, act or certificate of a majority of the inspectors is effective as if made by all.
(a) To select and remove all of the other officers, agents and employees of the corporation, prescribe such powers and duties for them as may be consistent with law, with the Articles of Incorporation, or the Bylaws, fix their compensation and require from them security for faithful service.
(b) To conduct, manage and control the affairs and business
of the corporation, and to make such rules and regulations therefor not
inconsistent with law, or with the Articles of Incorporation, or the Bylaws, as
they may deem best.
(c) To change the principal office for the transaction of the
business of the corporation from one location to another within the same county
as provided in Section 1 hereof; to fix and locate from time to time one or
more subsidiary offices of the corporation within or without the State of
California, as provided in Section 2 hereof; to designate any place within or
without the State of California for the holding of any shareholders' meeting or
meetings; and to prescribe the forms of certificates of stock, and to alter the
form of such certificates from time to time, as in their judgment they may deem
best, provided such certificates shall at all times comply with the provisions
of law.
(d) To authorize the issuance of shares of capital stock of the corporation from time to time, upon such terms as may be lawful.
(e) To borrow money and incur indebtedness for the purposes of the corporation, and to cause to be executed and delivered therefor, in the corporate name, promissory notes, bonds, debentures, deeds of trust, mortgages, pledges, hypothecations, or other evidence of debt and securities therefor.
14. NUMBER OF DIRECTORS. The authorized number of Directors of this
corporation shall be three (3) until changed by amendment of the Articles of
Incorporation or by a By-Law duly adopted by the shareholders amending this
Section 14.
15. ELECTION, TERM OF OFFICE AND VACANCIES. At each annual meeting of shareholders, Directors shall be elected to hold office until the next annual meeting. Each Director, including a Director elected to fill a vacancy, shall hold office until the expiration of the term for which the Director was elected and until a successor has been elected. The Board of Directors may declare vacant the office of a Director who has been declared to be of unsound mind by court order or convicted of a felony. Vacancies on the Board of Directors not caused by removal may be filled by a majority of the Directors then in office, regardless of whether they constitute a quorum, or by the sole remaining Director. The shareholders may elect a Director at any time to fill any vacancy not filled, or which cannot be filled, by the Board of Directors.
16. REMOVAL. Except as described below, any or all of the Directors may be removed without cause if such removal is approved by the affirmative vote of a majority of the outstanding shares entitled to vote. Unless the entire Board of Directors is so removed no Director may be removed if (a) the votes cast against removal, or not consenting in writing to such removal, would be sufficient to elect such Director if voted cumulatively at an election at which the same total number of votes were cast or, if such action is taken by written consent, all shares entitled to vote were voted, and (b) the entire number of Directors authorized at the time of the Director's most recent election were then being elected.
17. RESIGNATION. Any Director may resign by giving written notice to the Chairman of the Board, the President, the Secretary or the Board of Directors. Such resignation shall be effective when given unless the notice specifies a later time. The resignation shall be effective regardless of whether it is accepted by the corporation.
18. COMPENSATION. If the Board of Directors so resolves, the Directors, including the Chairman of the Board, shall receive compensation and expenses of attendance for meetings of the Board of Directors and of committees of the Board. Nothing herein shall preclude any Director from serving the corporation in another capacity and receiving compensation for such service.
19. COMMITTEES. The Board of Directors may, by resolution adopted by a majority of the authorized number of Directors, designate one or more committees, each consisting of two or more Directors, to serve at the pleasure of the Board. The Board may designate one or more Directors as alternate members of a committee who may replace any absent member at any meeting of the committee. To the extent permitted by resolution of the Board of Directors, a committee may exercise all of the authority of the Board to the extent permitted by Section 311 of the California Corporations Code.
20. INSPECTION OF RECORDS AND PROPERTIES. Each Director may inspect all books, records, documents and physical properties of the corporation and its subsidiaries at any reasonable time. Inspections may be made either by the Director or the Director's agent or attorney. The right of inspection includes the right to copy and make extracts.
21. TIME AND PLACE OF MEETINGS AND TELEPHONE MEETINGS. Immediately following each annual meeting of shareholders, the Board of Directors shall hold a regular meeting for the purposes of organizing the Board, election of officers and the transaction of other business. The Board may establish by resolution the times, if any, when other regular meetings of the Board shall be held. All meetings of Directors shall be held at the principal executive office of the corporation or at such other place, within or without California, as shall be designated in the notice for the meeting or in a resolution of the Board of Directors. Directors may participate in a meeting through use of conference telephone or similar communications equipment so long as all Directors participating in such meeting can hear each other.
22. CALL. Meetings of the Board of Directors, whether regular or special, may be called by the Chairman of the Board, the President, the Secretary, or any Director.
23. NOTICE. Regular meetings of the Board of Directors may be held without notice if the time of such meetings has been fixed by the Board. Special meetings shall be held upon four days' notice by mail or 48 hours' notice delivered personally or by telephone or telegraph, and regular meetings shall be held upon similar notice if notice is required for such meetings. Neither a notice nor a waiver of notice need specify the purpose of any regular or special meeting. If a meeting is adjourned for more than 24 hours, notice of the adjourned meeting shall be given prior to the time of such meeting to the Directors who were not present at the time of the adjournment.
24. MEETING WITHOUT REGULAR CALL AND NOTICE. The transactions of any meeting of the Board of Directors, however called and noticed or wherever held, are as valid as though had at a meeting duly held after regular call and notice if a quorum is present and if, either before or after the meeting, each of the Directors not present signs a written waiver of notice, a consent to holding the meeting or an approval of the minutes of the meeting. For such purposes, a Director shall not be considered present at a meeting if, although in attendance at the meeting, the Director protests the lack of notice prior to the meeting or at its commencement.
25. ACTION WITHOUT MEETING. Any action required or permitted to be taken by the Board of Directors may be taken without a meeting, if all the members of the Board individually or collectively consent in writing to such action.
26. QUORUM AND REQUIRED VOTE. A majority of the Directors then in office shall constitute a quorum for the transaction of business, provided that unless the authorized number of Directors is one, the number constituting a quorum shall not be less than the greater of one-third of the authorized number of Directors or two Directors.
Except as otherwise provided by Subsection 307(a)(8) of the California Corporations Code, the Articles of Incorporation or these Bylaws, every act or decision done or made by a majority of the Directors present at a meeting duly held at which a quorum is present is the act of the Board. A meeting at which a quorum is initially present may continue to transact business notwithstanding the withdrawal of Directors, if any action taken is approved by at least a majority of the required quorum for such meeting. A majority of the Directors present at a meeting whether or not a quorum is present, may adjourn the meeting to another time and place.
27. COMMITTEE MEETINGS. The principles set forth in Sections 21 through 26 of these Bylaws shall apply to committees of the Board of Directors and to actions by such committees.
28. LOANS. Except as provided by Section 315 of the California Corporations Code, the vote or written consent of the holders of a majority of the shares of all classes, regardless of limitations on voting rights, other than shares held by the benefitted Director, officer or shareholder, shall be obtained before this corporation makes any loan of money or property to or guarantees the obligation of:
(a) Any Director or officer of the corporation, any Director
or officer of any of its parents, or any Director or officer of any of its
subsidiary corporations, directly or indirectly.

otherwise adequately secured.

Re: Cyber-Vitamin.com
Gentlemen:
The undersigned is counsel for Cyber-Vitamin.com. I have been requested to render an opinion on the tradeability of the 50,000 shares of Cyber-Vitamin proposed to be sold pursuant the Cyber- Vitamin's Registration Statement on Form SB-2. In rendering this opinion, I have reviewed Cyber-Vitamin's Registration on Form SB- 2, company articles of incorporation and by laws and other corporate documents. All representations made to me in Cyber- Vitamin documents and by company officers and directors are deemed to be accurate. It is my opinion that the shares to be issued will be free trading shares. It is further my opinion that:
1. Cyber-Vitamin is a corporation duly organized, validly existing and in good standing and is qualified to do business in each jurisdiction in which such qualification is required.
2. That the shares of common stock to be issued by Cyber-Vitamin have been reserved and have been duly and properly approved by Cyber-Vitamin's Board of Directors.
3. That the shares of stock will be legally issued, fully paid, and non- assessable when sold, , and will be a valid and binding obligation of the corporation.
4. That the shares of common stock have not been but will be registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Act"), and will be registered by coordination with or exempt from the securities laws of the state jurisdictions in which they will be sold.
I hereby consent to the use of this opinion in Cyber-Vitamin's Registration Statement on Form SB-2. Please feel free to contact the undersigned should you have any further questions regarding this matter.
Very truly yours,
