The Company is not registering resale of these securities. Any resale must be separately registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission or exempt from registration under the Securities Act of 1933. Each Warrant entitles the holder to purchase one share of Common Stock of the Company. Each Series A Warrant is exercisable at $1.00 per share during the first year, $1.50 per share during the second year, and $2.00 per share during the third year following the date of this prospectus. Each Shop Warrant and Pro Warrant will be exercisable at a price equal to the fair market value of the Common Stock at the time of issuance of the Warrant, determined by taking the average of the bid and asked prices quoted by the 3 highest market makers, during the 5 trading days preceding the date of grant of the Warrant. All of the Warrants will be callable and can be redeemed by the Company for $.01 per Warrant on 30 days notice at any time after the closing bid price of the Common Stock equals or exceeds the exercise price of that Warrant for 10 consecutive trading days (or, in the case of Series A Warrants, 200% of the exercise price then in effect, for 20 consecutive trading days). Warrants may only be exercised or redeemed if a current prospectus is in effect. The exercise and redemption prices of the Warrants were arbitrarily determined by the Company and bear no relationship to assets, shareholders equity or any other objective criteria of value. The Company's Common Stock is quoted on the NASD Electronic Bulletin Board under the Symbol "GLFN" and the current (November 6, 1998) bid price quotation is $1.09.

PROSPECTUS SUMMARY This summary is qualified in its entirety by the more detailed information appearing elsewhere in the Prospectus. THE COMPANY McHenry Metals Golf Corp. (the "Company") is in the business of designing, developing, marketing and distributing premium quality golf clubs using its own design concepts, which utilize state-of-the-art engineering technology, manufacturing processes, and the newest materials available to the golf industry. The Company is led by Mr. Gary V. Adams, who previously founded Taylor Made Golf Company, where he first introduced the "metal wood" golf club driver, and later started Founders Club Golf Company. The management team has extensive relationships and product development, sales and marketing experience in the golf industry. Four of the Company's executives have over thirty years of experience in the golf industry, two have been in the business for over twenty years, and two others played key roles in developing a golf company within the past decade. The Company's long term objective is to build a diversified golf equipment company with a market leadership position in domestic and international markets. In the short-term, the Company will focus on developing a business in the metal wood product category. The Company is currently focusing the majority of its product research and development efforts on becoming a successful metal wood company. The Company introduced its first product, the TourPure driver, at the PGA International Golf Show in Las Vegas during September, 1997. The Company began shipping product to sales representatives in January, 1998 and to customers in February, 1998. A complete line of metal fairway woods complementing the TourPure driver was introduced at the PGA Merchandise Show in Orlando, Florida, held January 30 - February 2, 1998. The Company is adding a 3, 4, 5, 7, and 9 wood to the TourPure family. The metal fairway woods incorporate the features of the TourPure driver, plus design enhancements for weight distribution. As of June 30, 1998, the Company had recorded net sales of $1.3 million. The principal executive offices are located at 1945 Camino Vida Roble, Suite J, Carlsbad, California 92008. The telephone number is (760) 929- 0015. The Company was incorporated in Utah on October 31, 1985, and changed its corporate domicile to Nevada in March, 1994. THE OFFERING Securities 1,271,094 redeemable Series A Warrants, 1,000,000 offered redeemable Shop Warrants, 300,000 redeemable Pro Warrants, and 2,571,094 Shares of Common Stock, $.001 par value of the Company issuable upon exercise of the Series A Warrants, Shop Warrants and Pro Warrants. See "Description of Securities". 3

Offering Prices Series A Warrants will be distributed at no cost; the Shop and Pro Warrants will be distributed without cash consideration. The Shares underlying the Series A Warrants will be sold at $1.00 per share during the first year, $1.50 per share during the second year and $2.00 per share during the third year following the date of this prospectus. The Shares underlying the Shop and Pro Warrants will be sold at the exercise prices of those warrants, which will be based on the fair market value of the Common Stock at the time of granting of those warrants. Plan of Series A Warrants will be distributed as soon as Distribution practicable after the date of this prospectus, to the common stockholders of the Company of record as of March 31, 1997. Shop Warrants and Pro Warrants will be distributed to certain dealers of the Company's products and to golf professionals who agree to use and endorse the Company's products. The Shares will be offered and sold by the Company without any underwriting discounts or other commissions, to the holders of these Warrants, upon the exercise thereof. See "Plan of Distribution." Securities The Company is authorized to issue up to 50,000,000 Outstanding shares of Common Stock. At June 30, 1998, 11,011,860 shares were issued and outstanding. The Company has since issued or agreed to issue 43,577 shares, and has reserved from its authorized but unissued capital 2,571,094 shares of Common Stock for issuance upon exercise of the Series A, Shop and Pro Warrants. 319,033 shares are reserved for issuance upon exercise of Unit Warrants already outstanding. The Company is also authorized to issue up to 5,000,000 shares of Preferred Stock in one or more series with such rights and preferences as the Board of Directors may designate. The Board of Directors has not designated any series of Preferred Stock. See "Description of Securities." Warrants Each Warrant entitles the holder to purchase one share of Common Stock. Series A Warrants are exercisable at $1.00 during the first year, $1.50 during the second year, and $2.00 during the third year, after the date of this Prospectus. The Series A Warrants are callable and can be redeemed by the Company for $.01 per Series A Warrant on 30 days notice at any time after the date of this Prospectus if the closing bid 4
424B35th Page of 61TOC1stPreviousNextBottomJust 5th
price of the Common Stock equals or exceeds 200% of the exercise price for 20 consecutive trading days. Each Shop Warrant and Pro Warrant is callable and can be redeemed by the Company for $.01 per Warrant on 30 days notice at any time after the date of this Prospectus if the closing bid price of the Common Stock equals or exceeds the exercise price of that Warrant, for 10 consecutive trading days. The exercise prices for the Warrants are subject to adjustment in certain events. See "Description of Securities." Use of Proceeds There is no assurance as to the amount of proceeds that may be received from the exercise of any of the Warrants. Any proceeds that are received will be used generally to provide additional working capital, but have not been specifically allocated, inasmuch as there is no assurance when or how many (if any) Warrants will be exercised. Transfer Agent Interwest Transfer Company, Inc., 1981 East 4800 South, Suite 100, Salt Lake City, Utah 84117,(801) 272-9294, serves as transfer agent and registrar for the Company's outstanding securities. Risk Factors An investment in the Company is highly speculative. Investors will suffer substantial dilution in the book value per share of the Common Stock compared to the purchase price. If substantial funds are not received from exercise of the Warrants, of which there is no assurance, the Company may require additional funding for which it has no commitments. No person should invest in the Company who cannot afford to risk loss of the entire investment. See "Risk Factors." 5

RISK FACTORS This prospectus contains certain forward-looking statements. Prospective investors and other readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance upon such forward looking statements, which represent only the plans, beliefs, estimates, expectations and/or anticipation of management as of the date of this prospectus. Forward looking statements are subject to certain uncertainties and other factors which could cause actual results in the future to differ materially from the results contemplated in and by such statements. Such uncertainties and other factors include those enumerated below as risk factors. The securities being offered hereby involve a high degree of risk. Prospective investors should carefully consider the following risk factors before investing in the Company. RISKS INHERENT IN A NEW START UP COMPANY Lack of Operating History. The Company is a recently formed enterprise with very limited operating history. All of the risks associated with a start-up company are inherent in any ownership or investment in this venture. The Company has no commitments for the future funding that it may require and has only recently established relationships with suppliers or manufacturers with respect to production and assembly of the products it is now marketing or proposes to market in the future. Operating Losses. The Company has incurred substantial operating losses since inception, had negative cash flow from operations of $2,195,277 in 1997 and $5,550,100 in 1998, and an accumulated deficit of $6,784,543 at June 30, 1998. There is no assurance when or if the Company will operate on a profitable basis. Going Concern. The financial statements of the Company have been prepared in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles which contemplate continuation of the Company as a going concern. However, the Company is newly formed, has incurred losses since its inception and has not yet been successful in establishing profitable operations. These factors raise questions about the ability of the Company to continue as a going concern. In this regard, management is proposing to raise any necessary additional funds not provided by its planned operations through loans and/or through additional sales of its equity securities pursuant to the exercise of the Warrants or otherwise. However, there is no assurance that the Company will be successful in raising this additional capital or achieving profitable operations. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of these uncertainties. Need for Additional Funding. The Company estimates that it may need substantial funding, in addition to its present capital, to be able to fully develop and expand its business. However, the Company has no commitment for additional funding and may have to seek further equity financing in order to continue to develop and expand its business, in the event less than the full amount of this Offering is received. There is no assurance that the Company will be able to obtain such funding and if obtained it could dilute the ownership of present shareholders and investors in this Offering. Bank line of credit. In July, 1998, the Company obtained a $3,000,000 bank line of credit that provides an advance on eligible accounts receivable and is 6
424B37th Page of 61TOC1stPreviousNextBottomJust 7th
secured by the assets of the Company. Due to slow customer payments, the Company became over-advanced in its position with the bank. The line of credit was reduced to $930,000; and the expiration date of the line of credit changed from July 30, 1999 to November 11, 1998. Although the Company believes that it will be able to secure a new line of credit, there is no assurance one can be obtained before November 11, 1998 or on terms acceptable to the Company. Furthermore, the Company is restricted from borrowing additional funds under its existing bank line of credit. See "Management's Plan of Operations" Dependence on Key Personnel. The Company is dependent upon the management and leadership skills of Gary V. Adams, the Company's founder and Chief Executive Officer, and the other members of its management team. Development of innovative golf clubs will be dependent upon the product development personnel including Mr. Adams. The research and development team is headed by Mario Cesario. There is intense competition for qualified personnel in the golf club industry, and the loss of key personnel or an inability to attract, retain and motivate key personnel could adversely affect the Company's business. The Company has no key man life insurance on Mr. Adams (who is recovering from an illness originally diagnosed as pancreatic cancer, but subsequently diagnosed that no cancer is present) or other members of management. There is no assurance that the Company will be able to retain its existing management personnel or to attract additional qualified personnel. See "Management". No Cash Dividends. The Company does not currently intend to pay cash dividends on its Common Stock and does not anticipate paying such dividends at any time in the foreseeable future. At present, the Company will follow a policy of retaining all of its earnings, if any, to finance development and expansion of its business. See "Dividend Policy." RISKS RELATED TO THE NATURE OF THE PROPOSED BUSINESS Seasonality. Golf is a warm weather sport and sales of golf equipment have historically been subject to seasonal sales fluctuations. The Company hopes to minimize the disruptions caused by seasonal sales fluctuations through adjusting product inventories and introducing new products, but there is no assurance the Company will be able to successfully offset the impact of seasonality. New Product Risks. The Company's business involves relatively new products which have not established their market share or demand. The products have only been in use a short time, have a limited track record, and are still being developed. There is no assurance of feasibility or that such products will be favorably received by consumers in the golf industry. The Company's business will be subject to all the risks associated with introduction of new products. Competition. The market for premium-quality golf clubs is highly competitive and is served by a number of well-established, well-financed companies with recognized brand names. In addition, there are several golf club manufacturers with substantial resources that, although they do not currently manufacture premium-quality golf clubs, could pose significant competition to the Company if they were to enter the market for premium-quality golf clubs. The golf club industry, in general, has been characterized by widespread 7
424B38th Page of 61TOC1stPreviousNextBottomJust 8th
imitation of popular club designs. A company's ability to compete is in part dependent upon its ability to satisfy various subjective requirements of golfers, including the golf club's look and "feel" and the level of acceptance that the golf club has among professional and other golfers. The subjective preferences of golf club purchasers may also be subject to rapid and unanticipated changes. There can be no assurances as to whether or how long the Company's golf clubs will receive market acceptance. A decline in the size of the golf club market, whether from a decrease in the popularity of golf or otherwise would have a material adverse effect on the Company's proposed business. New Product Introduction. The basis of the Company's future is the introduction of new, innovative golf clubs. New models and basic design changes are frequently introduced into the golf club market but are often met with consumer rejection. No assurances can be given that the Company will be able to design and market golf clubs that meet with market acceptance. In addition, prior successful designs may be rendered obsolete within a relatively short period of time as new products are introduced into the market. The design of new golf clubs is also greatly influenced by rules and interpretations of the United States Golf Association ("USGA"). Although the golf equipment standards established by the USGA generally apply only to competitive events sanctioned by that organization, it has become critical for designers of new clubs to assure compliance with USGA standards. Although the Company has been notified by the USGA that its TourPure driver conforms with its standards, and believes that all its clubs will comply with USGA standards, no assurance can be given that any new products will receive USGA approval or that USGA existing standards will not be altered in ways that adversely affect the future sales of the Company's products. Technological Changes. The manufacture and design of golf clubs has undergone significant changes with respect to design and materials in recent years. The introduction of new or enhanced technologies or designs by competitors could render the Company's products less marketable. The ability of the Company to compete successfully will depend to a large degree on its ability to innovate and respond to changes and advances in its industry. There can be no assurance that the Company will be able over the long term to keep pace with the demands of the marketplace. Dependence on Certain Suppliers. The Company intends to purchase most of its metal wood club heads from certain well-known casting houses on a purchase order basis and to purchase club shafts from certain shaft manufacturers which may have to make modifications in their standard products to accommodate the Company's golf club designs. Any significant delay or disruption in the supply of club heads or shafts would have a material adverse effect on the company's business. In such event, the Company believes that suitable club heads and shafts could be obtained from other manufacturers, although the transition to another supplier could result in production delays of several weeks. The Company currently is dealing with approximately ten different suppliers of its product components, but has only a limited experience with such suppliers. Developing Markets. The market for the Company's proposed products has experienced recent growth and appears to be rapidly evolving as new products are regularly being introduced. The market is characterized by a few dominant entrants with widely accepted and recognized products. Because the markets 8
424B39th Page of 61TOC1stPreviousNextBottomJust 9th
for the Company's products are evolving and because the Company has no operating experience, it is difficult to assess or predict with any assurance the growth rate, if any, and the size of the market for the Company's products. There can be no assurance that a market for the Company's products will develop. If such a market fails to develop or develop more slowly than anticipated, the Company's business, operating results and financial condition will be materially adversely affected. Risks of Technical Problems or Product Defects. There is no assurance, despite testing and quality assurance efforts that may be performed by the Company and/or its industry partners, that technical problems or product defects will not be found, resulting in loss of or delay in market acceptance and sales, diversion of development resources, injury to the Company's reputation or increased service and support costs, any of which could have a material adverse effect on the Company's business. Moreover, there is no assurance that the Company will not experience difficulties that could delay or prevent the development and introduction of its products and services, that new or enhanced products and services will meet with market acceptance, or that advancements by competitors will not erode the Company's position or render the Company's products and services obsolete. Dependence on Proprietary Technology. The Company's success will be heavily dependent upon a combination of proprietary design and technology developed internally. The Company does not now have but will pursue trademark and patent protection and also expects to rely on a combination of trade secrecy, non- disclosure agreements and contractual provisions with respect to the pro- prietary nature of its technology. However, there can be no assurance that any steps taken by the Company will prevent misappropriation of this technology. Effective legal protection of these technologies may be unavailable or limited in certain foreign countries. Third parties could independently develop competing technologies that are substantially equivalent or superior to the Company's technologies. Although the Company believes that its products and the proprietary rights developed by it do not infringe upon any proprietary rights of others, an infringement claim was filed against the Company, but was subsequently settled and dismissed. Whether or not this or any claim has merit, there is no assurance regarding the outcome of litigation, which could have a material adverse effect upon the Company. See "Legal Proceedings" Ability to Manage Growth. The Company intends to pursue a strategy of rapid growth. The Company plans to significantly expand marketing efforts and to devote substantial resources to operations and support areas, including administrative services. There can be no assurance that the Company will attract qualified personnel or will successfully manage such expanded operations. The failure to properly manage growth could have a material adverse effect on the Company. RISKS RELATED TO THE OFFERING No Assurance of Warrant Exercise and No Escrow of Funds. There is no assurance that any proceeds will be received from exercise of Warrants in this offering. Proceeds may be insufficient to defray offering expenses. No minimum number of Warrants must be exercised and there is no escrow of funds received upon exercise. Any proceeds received will immediately be retained by 9
424B310th Page of 61TOC1stPreviousNextBottomJust 10th
the Company to be used in its business and management will have broad discretion as to the application of proceeds. In the event that any proceeds from this offering and the Company's existing capital are not sufficient to enable the Company to develop and expand its business and generate a profit, the Company may need to seek additional financing from commercial lenders or other sources, for which it presently has no commitments or arrangements. This creates an increased risk to persons who exercise Warrants, because there is no assurance that any additional Warrants will be exercised or that the Company will receive any further funding. Risks of Warrant Exercise. There is no assurance that exercising Warrant holders will be able to sell their Common Stock in the future at a price which equals or exceeds their exercise price. Outstanding Warrants, Options and Other Rights. In addition to the 1,271,094 Series A Warrants, 1,000,000 Shop Warrants and 300,000 Pro Warrants, the Company has 319,033 Unit Warrants and 1,295,000 management stock options already outstanding and has authorized up to 1,000,000 warrants/options to be granted in the future in connection with an employee incentive stock option program. The holders of such options, warrants or rights are given an opportunity during the term of such rights to profit from a rise in the market price of the Company's common stock, with a resultant dilution of the interests of all other stockholders. The holders thereof are likely to exercise them only if the then prevailing market price exceeds such exercise prices, which would be at a time when, in all likelihood, the Company would otherwise be able to obtain funds from the sale of its securities on terms more favorable than those provided by the options and warrants. Accordingly, the Company may find it more difficult to raise additional capital while the options and warrants are outstanding. Qualification for Listing on NASDAQ. The Company intends to apply as soon as possible for listing of its common stock on the NASDAQ Small-cap Market. There is no assurance when, if ever, the company will meet the requirements for such listing or, in any event, be accepted for such listing. Furthermore, if the Company's common stock were to qualify for listing there is no assurance that the Company would be able to continue to satisfy the listing requirements. In the event of delisting or failure to qualify initially, trading in the Company's common stock is expected to continue on the Electronic Bulletin Board. As a result, investors may find it more difficult to dispose of, or to obtain quotations as to the price of the common stock. Current Prospectus and Registration Required for Exercise. Holders of the Warrants will only be able to exercise such securities to acquire the underlying Common Stock if a current prospectus relating to the Common Stock is then in effect and such exercise is qualified or exempt from qualification under applicable securities laws of the states in which such holders of the Warrants reside. Although the Company intends to use its best efforts to update this prospectus as necessary to maintain a current prospectus and federal and state registration/qualification for such exercise, there is no assurance that the Company will be able to do so at such time as such persons may wish to exercise Warrants. The value of the Warrants may be greatly diminished if the ability to exercise them is not maintained. If a current prospectus is in effect, each of the Warrants is redeemable for nominal consideration at any time after the date hereof upon 30 days notice, if the 10
424B311th Page of 61TOC1stPreviousNextBottomJust 11th
bid price of the common stock equals or exceeds the exercise price of a Shop or Pro Warrant for 10 consecutive trading days, or 200% of the exercise price of the Series A Warrants for 20 consecutive trading days. If redeemed when a current prospectus is in effect, Warrant holders would have 30 days to exercise the Warrants, after which they would be compelled to accept the nominal redemption price. Dilution. Warrant holders who exercise their Warrants to purchase the underlying Shares of Common Stock will suffer substantial dilution in the purchase price of the Shares compared to the net tangible book value per share immediately after the purchase. The exact amount of dilution will vary depending upon the total number of Warrants exercised, and will be greater if less than all the Warrants are exercised. The fewer Warrants exercised, the greater dilution will be with respect to the Warrants that are exercised. See "Dilution." Potential Issuance of Additional Common and Preferred Stock. The Company is authorized to issue up to 50,000,000 shares of Common Stock. To the extent of such authorization, the Board of Directors of the Company will have the ability, without seeking shareholder approval, to issue additional shares of Common Stock in the future for such consideration as the Board of Directors may consider sufficient. The issuance of additional Common Stock in the future will reduce the proportionate ownership and voting power of the Common Stock offered hereby. The Company is also authorized to issue up to 5,000,000 shares of preferred stock, the rights and preferences of which may be designated in series by the Board of Directors. To the extent of such authorization, such designations may be made without shareholder approval. The Board of Directors has not yet designated any series of Preferred Stock. The designation and issuance of series of preferred stock will create additional securities which will have dividend and liquidation preferences over the Common Stock offered hereby. See "Description of Securities." Potential Anti-Takeover Measures. Certain provisions in the articles of incorporation or bylaws of the Company, such as authorization to issue additional common or preferred stock and designate the rights and preferences of the preferred stock without further approval of shareholders, could be used as anti-takeover measures. Provisions such as these could result in the Company being less attractive to anyone who might consider a takeover attempt, and result in shareholders receiving less than they otherwise might in the event of a takeover attempt. Limited Liability of Management. The Company has adopted provisions to its Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws which limit the liability of Officers and Directors and provides for indemnification by the Company of Officers and Directors to the full extent permitted by Nevada law, which provides that officers and directors shall have no personal liability to a Company or its stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duties as directors, except for a breach of their duty of loyalty, acts or omissions not in good faith or which involve intentional misconduct or knowing violation of law, unlawful payment of dividends or unlawful stock purchases or redemptions, or any transaction from which a director derives an improper personal benefit. Such provisions substantially limit the shareholders' ability to hold officers and directors liable for breaches of fiduciary duty, and may require the Company to indemnify its officers and directors. See "Certain Transactions - Conflicts of Interest". 11
424B312th Page of 61TOC1stPreviousNextBottomJust 12th
Determination of Offering Prices. The exercise prices of the Warrants were arbitrarily determined by management of the Company and set at levels substantially in excess of prices recently paid for securities of the same class. The prices bear no relationship to the Company's assets, book value, net worth or other economic or recognized criteria of value. In no event should the exercise prices be regarded as an indicator of any future market price for the Company's securities. No Assurance of a Liquid Public Market for Securities. Although the Company's shares of common stock are quoted on the Electronic Bulletin Board maintained by the NASD, there can be no assurance that a regular and established market will continue for the securities upon completion of this offering. There can also be no assurance as to the depth or liquidity of any market for common stock or the prices at which holders may be able to sell the Shares. As a result, an investment in the Shares may be totally illiquid and investors may not be able to liquidate their investment readily or at all when they need or desire to sell. Volatility of Stock Prices. In the event that an established public market does develop for the Shares, market prices will be influenced by many factors, and will be subject to significant fluctuation in response to variations in operating results of the Company and other factors such as investor perceptions of the Company, supply and demand, interest rates, general economic conditions and those specific to the industry, international political conditions, developments with regard to the Company's activities, future financial condition and management. See "Plan of Distribution." Shares Eligible for Future Sale/Market Overhang. Of the 11,055,437 shares of the Company's common stock outstanding prior to the exercise of any Warrants, approximately 2,000,000 shares are not restricted and may be sold in the public market. All the shares of Common Stock to be issued in this offering will also not be restricted and may be sold immediately upon issuance, if the sale is exempt from registration pursuant to Section 4(1) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"). All the remaining shares of Common Stock presently outstanding are restricted and/or affiliate securities which are not presently, but may at any time be sold into any public market that may exist for the Common Stock, pursuant to Rule 144 promulgated pursuant to the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"). Sales of restricted and/or affiliate securities pursuant to Rule 144 or otherwise by insiders and others holding restricted securities have occurred in significant amounts; such sales are ongoing and the amount of such stock overhanging the market is substantial. Sales by current shareholders of substantial amounts of Common Stock into the public market depresses the market prices of the Common Stock in any such market. See "Shares Eligible for Future Sale". Applicability of Low Priced Stock Risk Disclosure Requirements. The common stock of the Company may be considered a low priced security under rules promulgated under the Exchange Act. Under these rules, broker-dealers participating in transactions in low priced securities must first deliver a risk disclosure document which describes the risks associated with such stocks, the broker-dealer's duties, the customer's rights and remedies, and certain market and other information, and make a suitability determination approving the customer for low priced stock transactions based on the customer's financial situation, investment experience and objectives. Broker- 12
424B313th Page of 61TOC1stPreviousNextBottomJust 13th
dealers must also disclose these restrictions in writing and provide monthly account statements to the customer, and obtain specific written consent of the customer. With these restrictions, the likely effect of designation as a low priced stock is to decrease the willingness of broker-dealers to make a market for the stock, to decrease the liquidity of the stock and increase the transaction cost of sales and purchases of such stocks compared to other securities. DILUTION Dilution is the difference between the price per share being paid for the Common Stock offered hereby pursuant to the exercise of the Warrants, and the net tangible book value per share of the Common Stock immediately after its purchase. The Company's net tangible book value per share of Common Stock is calculated by subtracting the Company's total liabilities from its total assets less any intangible assets and liquidation preferences, then dividing by the number of shares of Common Stock then outstanding. Based on the unaudited interim financial statements, the Company had 11,011,860 shares of Common Stock outstanding at June 30, 1998, with a net tangible book value of $2,833,511 or approximately $.25 per share. These amounts do not give effect to operating results or any other changes in net tangible book value of the Company occurring after June 30, 1998. Subsequent to June 30, 1998, the Company has issued or committed to issue another 43,577 shares, for services rendered or to be rendered. If all Series A Warrants were to be exercised during the first year at $1.00 per share (of which there is no assurance), upon the exercise thereof, but before exercise of any other Warrants, the estimated net tangible book value of the Company after the offering, on a pro forma basis (which gives effect to receipt of the estimated net proceeds from such exercise and issuance of the underlying Shares of Common Stock, but does not take into consideration any other changes in net tangible book value of the Company subsequent to June 30, 1998), would be approximately $4,000,000 or $.32 per share. This would result in dilution to persons exercising Series A Warrants of $.68 per share, or 68% of the exercise price of $1.00 per share. Net tangible book value per share would increase to the benefit of present stockholders from $.25 prior to the offering to $.32 after the offering, or an increase of $.07 per share attributable to the exercise of the Series A Warrants. If less than all the Series A Warrants are exercised during the first year, dilution to the Series A Warrant holders who do exercise during the first year will be greater than the amount shown. The fewer Series A Warrants exercised, the greater dilution will be to those who do exercise. The following table sets forth the estimated net tangible book value ("NTBV") per share assuming exercise of all Series A Warrants during the first year, and the dilution to persons purchasing the underlying Shares of Common Stock. 13

[Download Table] Exercise of all Series A Warrants: Series A Warrant exercise price/share (1st year) $1.00 NTBV/share prior to exercise $ .25 Increase attributable to Series A Warrant exercise .07 Pro forma NTBV/share after exercise .32 Dilution $ .68 If any Series A Warrants not exercised during the first year are subsequently exercised during the second or third years at the higher exercise prices of $1.50 or $2.00 per share, any dilution to such Warrant holders is not presently determinable and may be higher or lower than the foregoing amount, depending upon the net tangible book value of the Company immediately prior to such exercise. Similarly, the exact amount of dilution which exercising holders of the Shop Warrants and Pro Warrants may suffer is also not presently determinable and may differ from warrant holder to warrant holder, because the exercise prices of such warrants may be different. The amount of such dilution will vary depending on a number of factors presently unknown, such as exercise price and the number of warrants exercised. USE OF PROCEEDS Net proceeds to the Company from sale of the Shares of Common Stock underlying the Warrants will vary depending upon the total number of Warrants exercised, and the timing of and prices at which they are exercised. If all Series A Warrants were to be exercised during the first year at $1.00 per share (of which there is absolutely no assurance, nor any assurance that any Series A Warrants will be exercised), the Company would receive gross proceeds of $1,271,094 from Series A Warrants. If all Shop Warrants and Pro Warrants were to be exercised, the total amount of proceeds that may be received from those Warrants will depend upon the exercise prices established for such warrants as well as the total number of such warrants issued, and is not presently determinable. Regardless of the timing and number of Warrants exercised, the Company expects to incur offering expenses presently estimated at $100,000 for legal, accounting, printing and other costs in connection with the offering pursuant to this prospectus. Inasmuch as there is no assurance that all Series A, Shop or Pro Warrants will be exercised nor any requirement that any minimum amount of the Series A, Shop or Pro Warrants be exercised, there are no escrow provisions and any proceeds that are received will be immediately available to the Company to provide additional working capital to be used for general corporate purposes. Proceeds will be used generally to provide working capital for whatever working capital needs the Company may have at the time funds are received. The exact uses of any proceeds will depend on the amounts received and the timing of receipt. Management's general intent is to use whatever additional funds may be generated from Warrant exercise to finance further development and expansion of the Company's business. See "Management's Plan of Operations." Management will have broad discretion as to the application of proceeds, and has presently identified the following categories of expenditure to which proceeds may be applied, to the extent 14

received, in the general order of priority and approximate amounts set forth below: Category of expenditure Approximate Amount Reduction of payables $3,000,000 Receivables and inventory financing 4,000,000 Capital expenditures 500,000 MARKET INFORMATION & DIVIDEND POLICY The common stock of the Company has traded in the over-the-counter market since the acquisition of McHenry on April 1, 1997, and is quoted on the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. Electronic Bulletin Board under the symbol GLFN. There was no price quoted for the stock prior to the acquisition. Set forth below is high and low bid information for the Common Stock as reported on the Bulletin Board system for each calendar quarter during such part of the past two fiscal years that price quotations have been available. These prices represent interdealer quotations, without retail markup, markdown or commissions, and may not represent actual transactions. As of June 30, 1998, there were approximately 500 record holders of the Company's common stock. 1997 HIGH BID PRICE LOW BID PRICE Second Quarter $4.875 $2.50 Third Quarter $7.250 $4.75 Fourth Quarter $6.125 $4.625 1998 First Quarter $8.625 $3.875 Second Quarter $6.125 $4.687 Third Quarter $4.97 $1.50 DIVIDEND POLICY The Company has not previously paid any cash dividends on its common stock and does not anticipate or contemplate paying dividends on common stock in the foreseeable future. It is the present intention of management of the Company to utilize all available funds for the development of the Company's business. The only restrictions that limit the ability to pay dividends on common or preferred equity or that are likely to do so in the future, are those restrictions imposed by law. Under Nevada corporate law, no dividends or other distributions may be made which would render the Company insolvent or reduce assets to less than the sum of its liabilities plus the amount needed to satisfy outstanding liquidation preferences. 15

MANAGEMENT'S PLAN OF OPERATIONS The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with the Company's consolidated financial statements and the notes associated with them contained elsewhere in this prospectus. The financial statements of the Company referred to in this discussion include and reflect the financial condition and operating results of McHenry Metals Golf Corp. and its consolidated subsidiaries for the period since its acquisition of McHenry Metals, Inc. on April 1, 1997, through March 31, 1998, and of McHenry Metals, Inc. and its consolidated subsidiaries for the period prior to such acquisition back its date of inception on January 13, 1997. This discussion should not be construed to imply that the results discussed herein will necessarily continue into the future or that any conclusion reached herein will necessarily be indicative of actual operating results in the future. PLAN OF OPERATIONS. Management's plan of operations for the next twelve months is to continue pursuing a strategy of rapid growth in attempting to build a successful golf equipment company based on its own product concepts. To accomplish this objective, the company has raised substantial funds and will seek to raise additional funds through this Offering, to provide the necessary capital to finance the continuation and expansion of its business operations. The new capital will fund the Company's production activities, acquisition of inventory and accounts receivable, and marketing efforts. The Company, through its wholly owned subsidiary, is in the business of designing, developing and marketing premium-quality golf clubs. The Company is currently focusing the majority of its product research and development efforts on becoming a successful metal wood company. The Company has formulated several proprietary concepts which management believes are unique, which are being incorporated into the design and manufacture of its golf clubs. The Company has secured certain trademarks associated with its business and filed patent applications relative to its first product, the TourPure titanium/tungsten driver. The TourPure driver was introduced September 8-10, 1997 at the PGA International Golf Show in Las Vegas. The Company began shipping product to sales representatives in January, 1998 and to customers in February, 1998. For the six months ended June 30, 1998, the Company recorded net sales revenue of $1.3 million. Actual sales were $3.6 million, but due to the Company's limited operating history and uncertainty with respect to the market acceptance of the Company's product, management has elected to defer recognition of revenue on product sales until the related accounts receivable have been collected. This basis of revenue recognition is expected to continue until, in the opinion of management, there exists sufficient history of customer payments and returns to provide a reasonable basis to conclude that revenue is earned at the point of shipment. A complete line of metal fairway woods complementing the TourPure driver was introduced at the PGA Merchandise Show in Orlando, Florida, held January 30 - February 2, 1998. The Company is adding a 3, 4, 5, 7, and 9 wood to the TourPure family. The metal fairway woods incorporate the features of the TourPure driver, plus design enhancements in terms of weight distribution. The Company will continue to devote substantial resources to product research and development as part of its plan of operations. The Company also anticipates hiring additional hourly wage employees for inventory management, quality assurance and distribution. The Company is having its products manufactured by outside 16
424B317th Page of 61TOC1stPreviousNextBottomJust 17th
manufacturers, rather than make significant purchases or other acquisitions of its own manufacturing plant and equipment. There is no assurance that the funding that may be received from this Offering, together with existing capital and any revenues the Company may receive from sales of its products, will be sufficient to fund operations for any specific length of time. There is no assurance any funding will be received from this offering. However, the Company has already raised several million dollars to provide funding for product development, operations infrastructure, marketing and tour promotion and working capital, through several private placements it has completed, including $700,000 raised in April, 1997, $2.9 million raised in August-September, 1997, approximately $2.4 million raised in a units offering of common stock and warrants which commenced in December, 1997, and was completed in March, 1998, and nearly $3.5 million raised from a small group of private investors at the end of March, 1998. At June 30, 1998, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $1,053,400, compared to $921,100 at December 31, 1997. The company had working capital of $3,555,000 at June 30, 1998 compared to $683,000 at December 31, 1997. For the first six months of 1998, cash used by operating activities was $5,550,000. Primary uses of operating cash flows resulted from the Company's operating loss as well as increases in accounts receivable and inventories, partially offset by increases in accounts payables. The increase in accounts payable is due to significant increase in inventory procurement as well as accrued promotional and advertising expenses incurred to complement the launch of the Company's product into the marketplace. The increase in accounts receivables is due to growth in sales. Accounts receivable balance at June 30, 1998 was $2,388,745. Subsequent cash collections of the June 30, 1998 accounts receivable have amounted to $679,000. Because management does not expect the bulk of receivables to be paid until after 90 days, the basis for estimating collectibility of accounts receivable is based on evaluation of accounts which have aged significantly past 90 days from date of invoice. Cash used for investing activities was $155,000 for the first six months of 1998, and consisted principally of capital expenditures. Currently, the Company does not have any significant capital expenditure plans. The Company has committed to purchase its titanium golf club heads costing approximately $2.4 million from its sole supplier based on a schedule that extends into the first half of 1999. Cash provided by financing activities was $5,838,000 for the first six months of 1998, consisting primarily of net proceeds from sales of Common Stock pursuant to two private offerings. Effective July 30, 1998, the Company entered into a $3,000,000 secured, revolving credit line with a bank. Based on the Company's sales through June, sufficient accounts receivable did not exist to fully secure the credit line. Furthermore, approximately 40% of the accounts were not eligible to borrow against under the terms of the credit line due to aging beyond 90 days. These factors reduced the amount of the credit line available for borrowing to approximately $900,000. In August 1998, the Company borrowed $680,000 against its credit line to supplement cash flow used by operations in order to build inventories, support 17
424B318th Page of 61TOC1stPreviousNextBottomJust 18th
its media advertising campaign and finance general operating activities. Also in August, the Company provided extended payment terms to a significant portion of its customers which caused a further reduction in the amount eligible for borrowing under the current bank credit line. As of August 31, 1998, the portion of accounts receivable eligible for borrowing under the terms of the credit line was approximately 25% of total accounts receivable or $290,000. The $680,000 already borrowed was $390,000 over the eligible borrowing base. Effective September 11, 1998, the bank and the Company agreed to amend the credit line principally to reduce the total line of credit to $930,000 and shorten the term of maturity to November 11, 1998. On September 16, 1998, the bank provided an additional $250,000 to the Company for working capital purposes to mature on November 11, 1998. Based on these factors, there can be no assurance that the current credit facility is sufficient to allow the Company to meet its cash requirements. Furthermore, the Company is restricted from borrowing additional funds under its existing bank line of credit and must repay its current indebtedness of $930,000 to the bank by November 11, 1998. There is also no assurance that the Company will be able to obtain new credit or that new credit will be available before expiration of the existing credit line. Furthermore, due to the extended aging of accounts receivable, there can be no assurance that a new credit facility (should one be obtained) will provide sufficient working capital for the Company, particularly if sales do not increase or if future industry developments or general economic conditions adversely effect the Company's operations. As a result of the Company's current operating losses and liquidity pressures there is a risk that the Company may not have the ability to maintain its operations at current levels and expand its market presence. If cash generated from operations and its credit facility are insufficient to satisfy the Company's liquidity requirements, the Company may seek to sell additional equity or debt securities to satisfy its growth plan. The sale of additional equity or convertible debt securities could result in added dilution to existing stockholders. Although management believes that it will be able to raise sufficient capital, there can be no assurance that financing will be available in amounts or on terms acceptable to the Company, if at all. The financial statements of the Company have been prepared in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles which contemplate continuation of the Company as a going concern. However, the Company is newly formed, has incurred losses since its inception and has not yet been successful in establishing profitable operations. These factors raise questions about the ability of the Company to continue as a going concern. In this regard, management is proposing to raise any necessary additional funds not provided by its planned operations through loans and/or through additional sales of its equity securities pursuant to the exercise of Warrants or otherwise. However, there is no assurance that the Company will be successful in raising this additional capital or achieving profitable operations. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of these uncertainties. 18

BUSINESS HISTORY AND DEVELOPMENT OF THE COMPANY The Company was incorporated in Utah on October 31, 1985, originally under the name of White Pine, Inc. The Company was organized initially for the purpose of creating a vehicle to obtain capital and to seek out, investigate and acquire interests in products and businesses with the potential for profit. In 1986, the Company completed a public offering of common stock, conducted pursuant to the exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933 provided by Rule 504 of Regulation D promulgated thereunder and was registered by qualification in the State of Utah. The Company changed its corporate domicile to the State of Nevada in March, 1994. On April 1, 1997, the Company (which was then known as Micro-ASI International, Inc.) entered into an Agreement and Plan of Reorganization with McHenry Metals, Inc. ("MMI") and changed its name to McHenry Metals Golf Corp. MMI was incorporated in January, 1997, under the laws of the State of Illinois to design and market golf clubs and related equipment. Pursuant to the Agreement, the Company forward split its common stock on a 2.2 for 1 basis, and then issued 5,650,000 post split shares of its authorized but previously unissued common stock to acquire all the issued and outstanding stock of MMI in a stock for stock exchange (the "Acquisition") whereupon MMI became a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company. The Acquisition is treated as a "reverse merger" for accounting purposes and MMI is deemed to be the successor entity with a recapitalization of the stockholders equity portion of its financial statements. In conjunction with the Acquisition, the Company declared a distribution to shareholders of the Company, of record as of March 31, 1997, (immediately prior to the Acquisition) of 1,271,094 Series A Warrants to be distributed in the future, upon effectiveness of a registration statement covering the offer and sale of shares issuable upon exercise of such warrants. BACKGROUND OF MMI MMI is an Illinois corporation with offices in Illinois and California. The Company's principal business office is located at 1945 Camino Vida Roble, Suite J, Carlsbad, California, 92008. MMI is the third golf equipment company to be founded by Gary V. Adams. Mr. Adams assembled a management team along with a carefully selected group of investors, consultants and advisors to launch MMI as a golf equipment company developing and marketing unique proprietary golf clubs. Mr. Adams has an extensive background in the golf equipment industry, having introduced the first "metal wood" golf club at Taylor Made Golf Company, which Mr. Adams founded in McHenry, Illinois in 1979. Mr. Adams later started Founders Club Golf Company. MMI designs, develops and markets premium-quality golf clubs. The clubs are being sold at premium prices to both average and skilled golfers on the basis of high performance, ease of use and attractive appearance. Mr. Adams has formulated several unique and proprietary concepts which are being used in the design and manufacture of the clubs. 19

INDUSTRY BACKGROUND The development and introduction of new golf club designs and technological advances have dramatically influenced the golf club industry. In the late 1960's cavity-backed, perimeter-weighted irons were successfully introduced. The "sweet spot" on these irons was significantly increased, making the club more forgiving to off-center hits and providing the opportunity for many golfers to make better golf shots. The golf club market was further advanced in the late 1970's with the introduction of metal woods, which increased the distance golfers could achieve with drivers or fairway woods and in the early 1990's oversized metal wood clubs were introduced. Recently, the industry has experienced a return to mid-sized metal wood clubs to provide greater controllability, reduced wind resistance, and improved club aesthetics. The Company's TourPure driver is an example of this shift in product design which has been stimulated by customer demand. BUSINESS STRATEGY Several important elements of the Company's business strategy are intended to enhance its business prospects and to establish a reputation for quality and innovation. Active Product Development. The Company's strategy is to develop new golf clubs that appeal to both average and skilled golfers on the basis of performance, ease of use and appearance. In order to develop such products, the Company is committing substantial resources to its product development activities. Manufacturing Differentiation. The Company strives to differentiate its products in part on the basis of the specialized manufacturing process required by the unique design of its products. Premium Brand Franchise. The Company intends to build a premium brand franchise to reflect the innovation, performance and quality of its products. As a part of this strategy, the Company intends to support its products with extensive customer service. Consistent with the premium quality image that the Company seeks to convey, prices for the Company's products will be at the high end of the U. S. market. The Company will seek to enhance this image by actively advertising and promoting its products, including entering into endorsement arrangements with leading golf professionals. Quality. The Company believes that product quality and responsiveness to customers are critical factors for success in the market for premium golf clubs. The Company has adopted a number of quality improvement and measurement techniques to establish and then monitor all aspects of its proposed business. To achieve excellence in product quality, the Company emphasizes inspection throughout the production process, and devotes significant resources to its research, development and design systems and maintains close relations with key suppliers and manufacturers. The Company is establishing extensive customer service to enhance its reputation for producing high quality golf clubs. 20
424B321st Page of 61TOC1stPreviousNextBottomJust 21st
International Expansion. After a launch of products in the U.S., the Company intends to explore international distribution of its products. Protection of Intellectual Property. The Company believes that its golf club designs, development processes and name recognition will represent valuable intellectual property rights. The Company intends to aggressively seek to protect these rights by obtaining and enforcing patents, trademarks, trade secrets, trade dress and other intellectual property rights. PRODUCTS The Company intends to offer a broad line of golf clubs including oversized metal woods, conventional-sized metal woods, fairway woods, irons, wedges and putters. Metal Woods. The Company initially is concentrating on bringing to market its new and unique designs in its metal wood drivers. These clubs are being offered in a variety of lofts with titanium, graphite or steel shafts. A proprietary design in the club heads being marketed as the "Compression Matched" series in various weights. Mr. Adams believes that his new concepts will be revolutionary in the industry. Other Clubs and Products. The Company expects to follow development of its metal wood drivers and fairway woods, with irons, putters and wedges until it offers a complete line of its own premium golf clubs. The Company also expects to offer a limited line of other golf products including golf bags, apparel and other accessories. PRODUCT DEVELOPMENT The Company will not limit itself in its research efforts by trying to duplicate designs that are traditional or conventional and believes it will create an environment in which new ideas are valued and explored. Product development at the Company is expected to be a result of the integrated efforts of its sales and product development staff and outside manufacturers, all of which will work together to generate new ideas for golf equipment. The Company's product development department will refine these ideas and work with outside firms to create prototypes, masters and the necessary tooling. The design of new golf clubs is greatly influenced by rules and interpretations of the United States Golf Association ("USGA"). Although golf equipment standards established by the USGA generally apply only to competitive events sanctioned by that organization, it has become critical for designers of new clubs to assure compliance with USGA standards. The Company's new product design and development process will involve coordination with the USGA staff regarding such compliance. The Company has been notified by the USGA that its TourPure driver conforms with these standards. The Company's first product, the TourPure driver, was introduced in September, 1997 and is currently in production. The Company began shipping product to sales representatives in January, 1998 and to customers in February, 1998. 20
424B322nd Page of 61TOC1stPreviousNextBottomJust 22nd
Meanwhile, product design and engineering is underway for left-handed versions of the driver along with a line of fairway metal woods which complements the TourPure driver. The Company introduced the new products at the PGA Merchandise Show in Orlando, Florida held January 30 - February 2, 1998. The TourPure driver is available in three lofts of 7.5 degrees, 9.5 degrees and 10.5 degrees with a proprietary low torque, low frequency shaft that is designed to accommodate different swing speeds between 70 to 110 mph. The separate face is constructed of high quality beta titanium which management believes gives greater feel and transfers more energy to the ball. The 235cc driver uses the concentrated weight of a tungsten/copper ring in the back of the club head to maintain the center of gravity and face size advantage of drivers that are 300cc or larger. Five shafts are offered to cater to all skill levels. Design work is also being completed on club face thickness and related matters for other clubs, after which the Company will have an outside design firm complete prototypes to undergo a thorough testing program. Tooling will then be completed and the products will be ready for manufacturing. SALES AND MARKETING Sales for Distribution in the United States The Company targets those golf retailers who sell professional quality golf clubs and provide the level of customer service appropriate for the sale of premium golf clubs. This includes "green grass" golf pro shops as well as off-course golf specialty stores. The Company has created a national field sales organization with a senior vice president of sales, a national sales manager, six regional sales managers, and a network of approximately 30 manufacturer's representatives. The Company is developing a telephone-based inside sales and customer service function to generate additional volume and to provide sales support. Each region is expected to be covered by field and inside sales efforts, targeting prospective customers with in-person visits and telephone solicitation. Advertising and Promotion. The Company initially commenced advertising in trade publications such as PGA Magazine, Golf Week, Golf Product News, Golf Shop Operations and Golf Pro to build the company's name awareness within the industry and to promote its products. In 1998, the Company also began to utilize additional publications and television advertising to generate brand interest among the consumer market. The television phase of the advertising commitment includes the continuation of McHenry Metals' TourPure advertisement on the Golf Channel (5- times-per-day/7-days-a-week). Since this ad began running in January, the Company has received over 3,000 requests for its TourPure video. In addition, TourPure television commercials will be seen on NBC and Fox networks. The campaign extends into the print media with 4-color, full-page advertisements in golf publications that reach the upscale, serious golfer. The print media schedule includes Sports Illustrated Golf Plus Editions featuring the Masters, US Open, British Open and PGA Championship. 22
424B323rd Page of 61TOC1stPreviousNextBottomJust 23rd
The Company is establishing relationships with golf professionals and other celebrities in order to promote its products among both professional and amateur golfers. The Company is entering into endorsement arrangements with members of the Professional Golf Association Tour and the Professional Golf Association Senior Tour, as well as other celebrities associated with golf. Already this season, golf professionals who were using the Company's TourPure driver have won two Senior PGA Tour events and finished in second place in another two events on the PGA and Senior PGA Tours. In addition, McHenry Metals staff player, Fred Funk, continues to place in the top five in driving accuracy on the PGA Tour, and has increased his distance off the tee. MARKET According to Golf Pro, a trade magazine, sales of golf clubs in the U.S. in 1995 reached a level of $1.2 billion. The top three premium brands accounted for over one-half of these sales, the next five companies accounted for approximately 27% of such sales and approximately thirty other companies accounted for the balance of 18%. A publication by the National Golf Foundation entitled Trends in the Golf Industry 1986-1995 has stated that the number of golfers in the U.S. rose by more than five million between 1986 and 1995 and that the annual expenditure on golf clubs saw a 10.6% increase in 1995 (over 1994) and 16.6% increase in 1996 (over 1995). The explanation for these increases, generally, is the well-being of the U.S. economy, shifting age concentration of the population and overall increased recreational spending. The publication indicates that "the long-term growth potential for golf spending is very encouraging". MANUFACTURING The manufacture of premium golf clubs involves a number of specialized processes required by the unique design of the products. The Company is having its products manufactured by outside manufacturers most of whom are located in or near Carlsbad, California. The Company believes that there are numerous manufacturers which can manufacture the Company products to the high standards developed by the Company. Clubheads, shafts, grips and other components are being supplied by independent vendors with whom the Company has established a relationship. All McHenry products are being manufactured to the Company's precise specifications by highly competent manufacturers based in part on processes which are proprietary to the Company. The Company will work closely with its casting houses, which will enable it to monitor the quality and reliability of clubhead productions. Any significant delay or disruption in the supply of clubheads by the casting houses or graphite shaft manufacturers would have a material adverse effect on the Company's business. In such event, the Company believes that suitable heads and shafts could be obtained from other manufacturers, although the transition to another supplier could result in production delays of several months. The Company is currently in discussions with potential suppliers of product components and manufacturers, although no assurance is given that the Company will be able to establish arrangements with any supplier or manufacturer. 23

COMPETITION The golf club business is highly competitive. The industry has been characterized by widespread imitation of popular club designs. The preferences of golf club purchasers may also be subject to rapid and unanticipated changes. There are several golf club manufacturers that, although they do not currently manufacture premium-quality golf clubs, could, in light of their substantial resources, pose significant competition to the Company if they were to enter the market for premium-quality golf clubs. The Company's principal competition will come from several large well- established and recognized leaders in the sale of premium golf clubs. Each of these companies has substantially more financial, management and technical resources than does the Company. The Company proposes to compete based on its own designs and concepts and the recognition of the name of Gary V. Adams and other persons involved with the Company. INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY The Company intends to aggressively seek to protect its intellectual property, such as product designs, manufacturing processes, new product research and concepts and trademarks. These rights will be protected through the acquisition of utility and design patents and trademark registrations, the maintenance of trade secrets, the development of trade dress, and, when necessary and appropriate, litigation against those who are, in the Company's opinion, unfairly competing. The Company has applied for patents for certain features of its products. Additionally, it has applied for trademark registration for McHenry Metals and Compression Matched and for several other product names and descriptions. There is no assurance that, prior to a court of competent jurisdiction validating them, any of these patents or trademarks will be enforceable. The Company intends to aggressively assert its rights against infringers. There can be no assurance that other golf club manufacturers will not be able to produce successful golf clubs which imitate the Company's designs without infringing on any of the Company's intellectual property rights. The Company is developing stringent procedures to maintain the secrecy of its confidential business information, which it believes gives it a distinct competitive advantage. These procedures will include a "need to know" criteria for dissemination of information and written confidentiality agreements from visitors and employees. Suppliers, when engaged in joint research projects will be required to enter into additional confidentiality agreements. SEASONALITY Golf is generally regarded as a warm weather sport. Sales of golf equipment have historically been strongest during the second and third quarters. To minimize the disruption caused by these anticipated sales fluctuations, the Company proposes to increase its product inventories during the fourth quarter. 24
424B325th Page of 61TOC1stPreviousNextBottomJust 25th
Although the golf club business generally follows this seasonal trend, the Company hopes its new products will tend to mitigate the impact of seasonality. No assurances can be given, however, that the Company will be able to successfully introduce new products to offset the impact of seasonality. PRODUCT WARRANTIES The Company intends to support all of its golf clubs with a two year written warranty. Since the Company does not rely upon traditional designs in the development of its golf clubs, its products may be more likely to develop unanticipated problems than those of many of its competitors that use traditional designs. The Company intends to monitor closely the level and nature of any product breakage and, where appropriate, incorporate design and production changes to assure its customers of the highest quality available on the market. If McHenry clubs were to experience a significant increase in the incidence of breakage or other product problems, the Company's sales and image with golfers could be materially adversely affected. EMPLOYEES The Company currently has approximately 35 full-time employees, including persons employed in sales (13), marketing (4), research and development (1), operations (8), administration and support (9). The Company anticipates hiring additional hourly wage employees for inventory management, quality assurance and distribution. None of the Company's employees is expected to be represented by unions. FACILITIES The Company's principal executive offices are located in Carlsbad, California. The Company there leases approximately 5,800 square feet of office space which serves as its corporate headquarters, for $4,261 per month, and 1,500 square feet of warehouse space for $1,100 per month. The office lease expires in October, 1998, with option to renew for two years. The warehouse lease expires January 1, 1999. The Company is also leasing approximately 1,400 square feet of office space in McHenry, Illinois which serves as the office of its National Sales Manager and his staff. The lease for this space expires December 31, 1998. The monthly lease payment is $1,500.

CERTAIN TRANSACTIONS THE COMPANY Prior to completing the acquisition of MMI, the Company had received advances from an officer, director and shareholder of the Company in order to pay minimal operating expenses. As of March 11, 1997, September 30, 1996 and September 30, 1995, $10,500, $8,350 and $6,000, respectively was payable by the Company as a result of these advances. These debts were forgiven by the officer-director at closing of the acquisition of MMI, as a contribution to the capital of the Company. Upon closing the acquisition of MMI the Company had 6,921,094 shares of its common stock outstanding. Subsequent to closing the acquisition of MMI, the Company issued common stock and/or granted stock options to various persons as consideration for services or to acquire certain assets. Those transactions involving management are summarized below. The Company has issued or granted to: Gary Adams (Chairman/CEO), 600,000 options exercisable at $.50 per share for 5 years from April 1, 1997, to acquire Mr. Adams' design work. Ted Aroney (Vice Chairman), 150,000 options exercisable at $1.75 per share for 5 years from April 2, 1997, for services. Mark Bergendahl (Director), 50,000 shares to purchase office furnishings, and 150,000 options exercisable at $1.75 per share for 5 years from April 2, 1997, for services. Mario Cesario (V.P.-Product Research), 30,000 shares to purchase equipment. The Company also agreed to issue 60,000 shares for services, subject to certain buy back provisions. 32
424B333rd Page of 61TOC1stPreviousNextBottomJust 33rd
Henry Fleming (Director), 250,000 options exercisable at $.50 per share for 5 years from April 1, 1997, for consulting services. Brad Wilhite (President-CAO), 100,000 shares and 100,000 options exercisable at $4.125 per share for 5 years from September 29, 1997, for services. Fred Funk (Company Golf Pro), 60,000 shares for services. Gary Moles (COO), 100,000 shares for services, subject to certain buy back provisions. Thomas Williams (V.P.- National Sales Manager), 25,000 shares for services, subject to certain buy back provisions. The Company has purchased advertising services from a Company owned by Sal Lupo, an employee stockholder. Total fees billed for services during 1997 and the first half of 1998 amounted to $784,154. The advertising services are provided to the Company at a discount from the fees normally charged by Mr. Lupo's firm and by other advertising agencies; therefore management believes the terms are as favorable to the Company as those generally available from unaffiliated third parties. MMI In January 1997, MMI issued 4,250,000 shares of common stock at a price of $.0005 per share to its founding shareholders which included Gary V. Adams, Ted Aroney and Sal Lupo. MMI subsequently sold 1,400,000 of its shares at $.50 per share to investors including persons who may serve as officers or directors of the Company. Therefore, MMI had 5,650,000 shares of its common stock outstanding prior to its acquisition by the Company. All of such shares were acquired by the Company in exchange for the issuance of 5,650,000 shares of the Company's common stock. CONFLICTS OF INTEREST Other than as described herein the Company is not expected to have significant dealings with affiliates. However, if there are such dealings the parties will attempt to deal on terms competitive in the market and on the same terms that either party would deal with a third person. All ongoing and future affiliated transactions will be on terms no less favorable to the Company than can be obtained from unaffiliated third parties and will be approved by a majority of the independent directors. Presently none of the officers and directors have any transactions which they contemplate entering into with the Company, aside from the matters described herein. Management will attempt to resolve any conflicts of interest that may arise in favor of the Company. Failure to do so could result in fiduciary liability to management. INDEMNIFICATION AND LIMITATION OF LIABILITY OF MANAGEMENT The General Corporation Law of Nevada permits provisions in the articles, by- laws or resolutions approved by shareholders which limit liability of directors for breach of fiduciary duty to certain specified circumstances, namely, breaches of their duties of loyalty, acts or omissions not in good 33
424B334th Page of 61TOC1stPreviousNextBottomJust 34th
faith or which involve intentional misconduct or knowing violation of law, acts involving unlawful payment of dividends or unlawful stock purchases or redemptions, or any transaction from which a director derives an improper personal benefit. The Company's by-laws indemnify its Officers and Directors to the full extent permitted by Nevada law. The by-laws with these exceptions eliminate any personal liability of a Director to the Company or its shareholders for monetary damages for the breach of a Director's fiduciary duty and therefore a Director cannot be held liable for damages to the Company or its shareholders for gross negligence or lack of due care in carrying out his fiduciary duties as a Director. The Company's Articles provide for indemnification to the full extent permitted under law which includes all liability, damages and costs or expenses arising from or in connection with service for, employment by, or other affiliation with the Company to the maximum extent and under all circumstances permitted by law. Nevada law permits indemnification if a director or officer acts in good faith in a manner reasonably believed to be in, or not opposed to, the best interest's of the corporation. A director or officer must be indemnified as to any matter in which he successfully defends himself. Indemnification is prohibited as to any matter in which the director or officer is adjudged liable to the corporation. Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers, and controlling persons of the Company pursuant to the foregoing provisions or otherwise, the Company 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. DESCRIPTION OF SECURITIES The following statements do not purport to be complete and are qualified in their entirety by reference to the detailed provisions of the Company's Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws, copies of which will be furnished to an investor upon written request therefor. COMMON STOCK The Company is presently authorized to issue 50,000,000 shares of $.001 par value common stock. The Company presently has 11,035,810 shares of common stock outstanding. The Company has reserved from its authorized but unissued shares a sufficient number of shares of common stock for issuance of the Shares offered hereby. The shares of common stock issuable on completion of the offering will be, when issued in accordance with the terms of the offering, fully paid and non-assessable. The holders of common stock, including the Shares offered hereby, are entitled to equal dividends and distributions, per share, with respect to the common stock when, as and if declared by the Board of Directors from funds legally available therefor. No holder of any shares of common stock has a pre-emptive right to subscribe for any securities of the Company nor are any common shares subject to redemption or convertible into other securities of the Company. Upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company, and after payment of creditors and preferred stockholders, if any, the assets will be divided pro-rata on a share-for-share basis among the holders of the shares of common stock. All shares of common stock now outstanding are fully paid, validly issued and non-assessable. Each share of common stock is entitled to one vote with respect to the election of any director or any other matter upon which shareholders are required or permitted to vote. Holders of the Company's 34
424B335th Page of 61TOC1stPreviousNextBottomJust 35th
common stock do not have cumulative voting rights, so that the holders of more than 50% of the combined shares voting for the election of directors may elect all of the directors, if they choose to do so and, in that event, the holders of the remaining shares will not be able to elect any members to the Board of Directors. PREFERRED STOCK The Company is also presently authorized to issue 5,000,000 shares of $.001 par value Preferred Stock. Under the Company's Articles of Incorporation, as amended, the Board of Directors has the power, without further action by the holders of the common stock, to designate the relative rights and preferences of the preferred stock, and issue the preferred stock in such one or more series as designated by the Board of Directors. The designation of rights and preferences could include preferences as to liquidation, redemption and conversion rights, voting rights, dividends or other preferences, any of which may be dilutive of the interest of the holders of the common stock or the Preferred Stock of any other series. The issuance of Preferred Stock may have the effect of delaying or preventing a change in control of the Company without further shareholder action and may adversely effect the rights and powers, including voting rights, of the holders of common stock. In certain circumstances, the issuance of preferred stock could depress the market price of the common stock. The Board of Directors effects a designation of each series of Preferred Stock by filing with the Nevada Secretary of State a Certificate of Designation defining the rights and preferences of each such series. Documents so filed are matters of public record and may be examined in accordance with procedures of the Nevada Secretary of State, or copies thereof may be obtained from the Company. SERIES A WARRANTS In connection with and as part of the terms of the acquisition of McHenry, shortly prior to consummating such acquisition the Company declared a distribution of Series A Warrants, to common stockholders of record as of March 31, 1997, on a 1 for 1 basis, with such distribution to be made subject to the effectiveness and upon the Effective Date of the registration statement covering sale of the shares underlying the Warrants (of which this prospectus is part); so the Company now has 1,271,094 Series A common stock purchase warrants (the "Warrants") outstanding. The Warrants are exercisable at $1.00 per share during the first year after the Effective Date, $1.50 per share during the second year after the Effective Date, and $2.00 per share during the third year after the Effective Date. Warrants are exercisable only if the registration statement is then in effect, and the exercise is registered or otherwise qualified in any state or other jurisdiction where required. (a) The Company may redeem all or a portion of the Warrants, at $.01 per warrant upon 30 days' prior written notice to the warrant holders in the event the Closing bid price of the Company's common stock exceeds or equals 200% of the exercise price per share for 20 consecutive trading days. The warrants may be redeemed only if a current registration statement is in effect with respect thereto. Any warrant holder who does not exercise his Warrants prior to the Redemption Date, as set forth on the Company's Notice of Redemption, will forfeit his right to 35
424B336th Page of 61TOC1stPreviousNextBottomJust 36th
purchase the shares of Common Stock underlying such Warrants, and after such Redemption Date any outstanding Warrants referred to in such Notice will become void and be canceled. If the Company does not redeem such Warrants, such warrants will expire at the conclusion of the exercise period unless extended by the Company. (b) The Company may at any time, and from time to time, extend the exercise period of the Warrants provided that written notice of such extension is given to the warrant holders prior to the expiration date thereof. Also, the Company may, at any time, reduce the exercise price thereof by written notification to the holders thereof. The Company does not presently contemplate any extensions of the exercise period or reduction in the exercise price of the Warrants. (c) The Warrants contain anti-dilution provisions with respect to the occurrence of certain events, such as stock splits or stock dividends. The anti-dilution provisions do not apply in the event of a merger or acquisition. In the event of liquidation, dissolution or winding-up of the Company, warrant holders will not be entitled to participate in the assets of the Company. Warrant holders have no voting, preemptive, liquidation or other rights of a stockholder of a Company, and no dividends may be declared on the Warrants. (d) The Warrants may be exercised by surrendering to the Company, a Warrant certificate evidencing the Warrants to be exercised, with the exercise form included therein duly completed and executed, and paying to the Company the exercise price per share in cash or check payable to the Company. Stock certificates will be issued as soon thereafter as practicable. (e) The Warrants were not exercisable until the Warrants and the shares of Common Stock underlying the Warrants were registered. The Company filed with the Commission a registration statement with respect to the issuance of such shares underlying the Warrants as soon as practicable following the Acquisition. This Prospectus is part of such registration statement and the date of this Prospectus is the effective date of the registration statement. The effective date of such registration statement is the "Commencement Date" for determining the exercise period of such Warrants. The Company will also seek to register or qualify the Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of the Warrants under the Blue Sky laws of all states in which holders of the Warrants may reside. SHOP WARRANTS AND PRO WARRANTS The Company is proposing to grant up to 1,000,000 warrants, referred to herein as "Shop Warrants" to dealers of the Company's products who are the first to purchase certain quantities of the Company's products. The Company is also proposing to grant up to 300,000 warrants, referred to herein as "Pro Warrants" to golf professionals who enter into agreements with the Company to use and endorse the Company's products in connection with Professional Golf Association events. 36

It is intended that these warrants will be exercisable for a two year term after their issuance, and will be issued in the future with exercise prices equal to their current fair market value at the time of issuance, determined by taking the average of the bid and asked prices quoted by the three highest market makers during the five trading days immediately preceding the issuance of the warrant. The Company will have the ability to redeem all or a portion of these Warrants also, at $.01 per warrant upon 30 days' prior written notice to the warrant holders in the event the Closing bid price of the Company's common stock exceeds or equals the exercise price per share for 10 consecutive trading days. Otherwise, these Warrants will have the same provisions as the Series A Warrants previously described. TRANSFER AGENT The transfer agent for the Company is Interwest Transfer Co., Inc., 1981 East 4800 South, Suite 100, Salt Lake City, Utah 84117. ANNUAL REPORTS The Company intends to furnish annual reports to shareholders which will contain financial statements audited by independent certified public accountants and such other interim reports as the Company may determine. DIVIDEND POLICY The Company has not paid any cash dividends on common stock to date and does not anticipate paying cash dividends on common stock in the foreseeable future. The Company intends for the foreseeable future to follow a policy of retaining all of its earnings, if any, to finance the development and expansion of its business. The Company does intend to pay stock dividends on its preferred stock in accordance with the terms thereof. SHARES ELIGIBLE FOR FUTURE SALE Of the 11,055,437 shares of the Company's common stock outstanding prior to the exercise of any Warrants, approximately 2,000,000 shares are not restricted and are eligible to be sold in the public market that exists for the Common Stock. In addition, the 2,571,094 shares of Common Stock underlying the Warrants will also not be restricted and may be sold into the public market immediately upon issuance, if the sale is exempt from registration pursuant to Section 4(1) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"). Sales of substantial amounts of this common stock in the public market could adversely affect the market price of the common stock. Furthermore, all of the remaining shares of Common Stock presently outstanding are restricted and/or affiliate securities which are not presently, but may at any time be sold into any public market that may exist for the Common Stock, pursuant to Rule 144 promulgated pursuant to the Securities Act. In general, under Rule 144 as currently in effect, a person (or group of persons whose shares are aggregated), including affiliates of the Company, can sell within any three-month period, an amount of restricted 37
424B338th Page of 61TOC1stPreviousNextBottomJust 38th
securities that does not exceed the greater of 1% of the total number of outstanding shares of the same class, or (if the Stock becomes quoted on NASDAQ or a stock exchange), the reported average weekly trading volume during the four calendar weeks preceding the sale; provided, that at least one year has elapsed since the restricted securities being sold were acquired from the Company or any affiliate of the Company, and provided further that certain other conditions are also satisfied. If at least two years have elapsed since the restricted securities were acquired from the Company or an affiliate of the Company, a person who has not been an affiliate of the Company for at least three months can sell restricted shares under Rule 144 without regard to any limitations on the amount. Sales of restricted and/or affiliate securities pursuant to Rule 144 or otherwise by insiders and others holding restricted securities have occurred in significant amounts; such sales are ongoing and the amount of such stock overhanging the market is substantial. Sales by current shareholders of substantial amounts of Common Stock into the public market depresses the market prices of the Common Stock in any such market. PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION This Prospectus and the registration statement of which it is part relate to the offer and sale of 1,271,094 redeemable Series A Warrants, 1,000,000 redeemable Shop Warrants, 300,000 redeemable Pro Warrants, and 2,571,094 shares of Common Stock of the Company underlying these Warrants. As soon as practicable after the date of this Prospectus, the Series A Warrants will be distributed to the record holders of the Company's Common Stock as of March 31, 1997. Series A Warrants are exercisable at a price of $1.00 per share during the first year, at $1.50 during the second year and at $2.00 during the third year after the date of this Prospectus. The Shop Warrants and Pro Warrants will be issued at various dates in the future, and will be exercisable at prices to be determined at such times, by reference to the current fair market value of the Common Stock. The Warrants were not distributed and did not constitute an offer by the Company to sell the Shares prior to the date of this prospectus. The offering will be managed by the Company without an underwriter, and the Shares will be offered and sold by the Company through an officer (Mr. Wilhite), without any discount, sales commissions or other compensation being paid to anyone in connection with the offering. In connection therewith, the Company will pay the costs of preparing, mailing and distributing this Prospectus to the holders of the Warrants. Brokers, nominees, fiduciaries and other custodians will be requested to forward copies of this Prospectus to the beneficial owners of securities held of record by them, and such custodians will be reimbursed for their expenses. There is no assurance that all or any of the Shares will be sold, nor any requirement, or escrow provisions to assure that, any minimum amount of Warrants will be exercised. All funds received upon the exercise of any Warrants will be immediately available to the Company for its use. EXERCISE PROCEDURES Warrants may be exercised in whole or in part by presentation of the Warrant 38
424B339th Page of 61TOC1stPreviousNextBottomJust 39th
Certificate, with the Purchase Form on the reverse side thereof filled out and signed at the bottom thereof, together with payment of the Exercise Price and any applicable taxes at the principal office of Interwest Transfer Co., Inc., 1981 East 4800 South, Suite 100, Salt Lake City, Utah 84117. Payment of the Exercise Price shall be made in lawful money of the United States of America by wire transfer or check payable to the order of "McHenry Metals Golf Corp." All holders of warrants will be given an independent right to exercise their purchase rights. If, as and when properly completed and duly executed notices of exercise are received by the Transfer Agent and/or Warrant Agent, together with the Certificates being surrendered and full payment of the Exercise Price in cleared funds, the checks or other funds will be delivered to the Company and the Transfer Agent and/or Warrant Agent will promptly issue certificates for the underlying Common Stock. It is presently estimated that certificates for the shares of Common Stock will be available for delivery in Salt Lake City, Utah at the close of business on the tenth business day after the receipt of all required documents and funds. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS On January 30, 1998, Pacific Golf Holdings, a California corporation operating as GolfGear International, filed a lawsuit against McHenry Metals Golf Corp. in U.S. District Court for the Southern District of California, alleging patent infringement. GolfGear claimed that the Company's TourPure line of golf clubs infringed two of GolfGear's U.S. patents relating to the materials and construction of the club face. The suit sought injunctive relief to enjoin the alleged infringement, and monetary relief for damages arising from the alleged infringement, in unspecified amounts. These claims were presented to the Company prior to filing of the lawsuit, but were rejected by the Company as being unfounded. The lawsuit was settled in July, 1998 for an immaterial amount. To the knowledge of management, there is no other material litigation pending or threatened against the Company. The validity of the issuance of the Shares offered hereby will be passed upon for the Company by Thomas G. Kimble & Associates, Salt Lake City, Utah. EXPERTS The December 31, 1997 consolidated financial statements of the Company (formerly known as McHenry Metals, Inc.), included in this Prospectus have been audited by Clumeck, Stern, Phillips & Schenkelberg, independent certified public accountants, as indicated in their report with respect thereto, and are included herein in reliance on such report given upon the authority of that firm as experts in accounting and auditing. 39

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements NOTE 1 BASIS OF PRESENTATION The accompanying consolidated financial statements for the three months and six months ended June 30, 1998, and the three months ended March 31, 1998, have been prepared by the Company. These statements are unaudited, and, in the opinion of management, include all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) necessary to present fairly the results for the periods presented. The balance sheet at December 31, 1997 has been derived from the audited financial statements at that date. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and related notes thereto included in the Company's 1997 Financial Report. Operating results for the three months and six months ended June 30, 1998 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the full year. 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. Prior to 1998, the Company was a development stage company. In 1998, the Company started to manufacture, market and sell its line of golf clubs. Due to the Company's limited operating history and uncertainty with respect to the market acceptance of the Company's product, management has elected to defer recognition of revenue on product sales until the related accounts receivable have been collected. This basis of revenue recognition is expected to continue until, in the opinion of management, there exists sufficient history of customer payments and returns to provide a reasonable basis to conclude that revenue is earned at the point of shipment. NOTE 2 INVENTORY Inventory consists of the following at June 30, 1998: Raw materials and work in process $2,163,135 Finished goods 1,325,625 Total $3,488,760 F4
424B345th Page of 61TOC1stPreviousNextBottomJust 45th
NOTE 3 NET LOSS PER SHARE Effective December 31, 1997, the Company adopted SFAS No. 128, earnings Per Share. This statement requires the presentation of basic and diluted earning per common share. Due to losses sustained by the Company (which make common stock equivalents antidilutive), adoption by the Company of this statement had no material impact on current period or retroactive EPS calculations. For the six months ended June 30, 1998 and 1997, 1,295,000 and 1,150,000 options outstanding were excluded from the calculations as their effect would have been antidilutive. NOTE 4 COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES The Company has entered into endorsement agreements with touring golf professionals for periods of up December 31, 1999. These agreements typically provide for a base compensation and bonuses, based upon, among other things, tournament play and performance and standings on the official money list. Minimum requirements under these agreements call for cash payments of $476,000 in 1998 and $374,000 in 1999. In addition to and in lieu of cash, certain players have received stock awards representing 66,000 shares of Common Stock. Compensation expense related to these shares is approximately $183,000 in 1998 and $140,000 in 1999. In the normal course of business, the Company enters into certain long-term purchase commitments with various vendors. The Company has committed to purchase titanium golf clubheads costing approximately $2.4 million from a supplier. These clubheads are to be shipped in accord with a production schedule through the first half of 1999. Pursuant to the April, 1997 reverse merger and name change to McHenry Metals Golf Corp., the Company's Board of Directors declared a warrant distribution of Common Stock Purchase Warrants to all stockholders of record as of March 31, 1997. The issuance of these warrants is predicated on completion of a registration statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission. In addition, the Board of Directors has authorized the registration for public sale up to a maximum of 1,300,000 warrants representing the right to purchase a maximum of 1,300,000 shares of the Company's Common Stock. The Company plans to allocate 1,000,000 warrants to its golf retailer customers and golf pro-shop customers and 300,000 warrants to golf touring professionals. The purchase price of the shares will be the trading price of the Company's Common Stock on the date the warrants are issued. The warrants will be offered to a limited number of customers. In January 1998, the Company was named as a defendant in a patent infringement lawsuit. The lawsuit was settled in July 1998 for an immaterial amount. F5
424B346th Page of 61TOC1stPreviousNextBottomJust 46th
NOTE 5 BANK LINE OF CREDIT Effective July 30, 1998, the Company entered into a $3,000,000 line of credit with a bank at an interest rate that is 1% over the banks prime lending rate. The credit line provides an advance on eligible accounts receivable and is secured by the assets of the Company. The credit line expires July 30, 1999. At the Company's present sales base there are not sufficient accounts receivable to fully utilize the $3 million credit line. In addition, due to slow customer payments, a substantial portion of accounts receivable are not eligible for borrowing under the credit line. As of September 21, 1998, there was $680,000 borrowed under the credit line and the Company was in an over-advanced position with the bank in the amount of $390,000 (based on approximately $290,000 eligible for borrowing). Based on this over-advance position, the Company is not in compliance with the terms of the credit line. Effective September 11, 1998, the bank line of credit was amended. The line of credit was reduced from $3,000,000 to $930,000; interest rate increased from 1% to 1 1/2% over the bank's prime lending rate and the expiration date of the line of credit amended to November 11, 1998. On September 16, 1998, the bank provided an additional $250,000 to the Company for working capital purposes with a maturity date of November 11, 1998. Although the Company believes that it will be able to secure a new line of credit, there is no assurance that one can be obtained before November 11, 1998 or on terms acceptable to the Company. Furthermore, the Company is restricted from borrowing additional funds under its existing bank line of credit and must repay its current indebtedness of $930,000 to the bank by November 11, 1998. NOTE 6 RELATED PARTY TRANSACTION On August 14, 1998, the Company borrowed $120,000 in the form of an unsecured promissory note payable to a shareholder and member of the Company's board of directors. The principal balance is payable on demand after September 14, 1998, and bears interest at 6%. As of September 21, 1998, there has been no demand for payment. NOTE 7 GOING CONCERN The financial statements of the Company have been prepared in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles which contemplate continuation of the Company as a going concern. However, the Company is newly formed, has incurred losses since its inception and has not yet been successful in establishing profitable operations. These factors raise questions about the ability of the Company to continue as a going concern. In this regard, management is proposing to raise any necessary additional funds not provided by its planned operations through loans and/or through additional sales of its equity securities pursuant to the exercise of the Warrants or otherwise. However, there is no assurance that the Company will be successful in raising this additional capital or achieving profitable operations. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of these uncertainties. F6

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT To the Board of Directors McHenry Metals Golf Corp. and Subsidiary Carlsbad, California We have audited the consolidated balance sheet of McHenry Metals Golf Corp. and Subsidiary (a development stage company), as of December 31, 1997 and the related consolidated statements of stockholders' equity, operations and cash flows for the period January 13, 1997 to December 31, 1997.

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 McHenry Metals Golf Corp. and Subsidiary as of December 31, 1997 and the results of its operations and its cash flow for the period January 13, 1997 to December 31, 1997 in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

MCHENRY METALS GOLF CORP. AND SUBSIDIARY (A Development Stage Company) NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS JANUARY 13, 1997 TO DECEMBER 31, 1997 NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES Consolidation McHenry Metals Golf Corp. was incorporated in 1985 in Utah under the name of White Pine, Inc.. In 1986 the name was changed to Symphony Holding Company. In 1993 the corporate domicile was changed from Utah to Nevada and the corporation changed its name to Symphony Ventures, Inc.. In 1996, the name was changed to Micro-ASI International, Inc.. Upon the acquisition of 100% ownership of McHenry Metals, Inc. (subsidiary) in April, 1997, the company's name was changed to McHenry Metals Golf Corp.. McHenry Metals, Inc., the subsidiary, was organized under the laws of Illinois on January 13, 1997, to engage in the manufacture and sale of a new line of golf related equipment. It is currently in the developmental stage of operations devoting its time to raising capital, promotion of future products and administrative functions. The acquisition of McHenry Metals, Inc. is accounted for as a reverse acquisition that results in a recapitalization of Subsidiary as it is deemed to be the acquiring corporation. All intercompany transactions have been eliminated. Inventory Inventory is valued at the lower of cost or market. Cost is determined using the first-in, first-out (FIFO) method. Raw materials $ 84,693 Work in process 25,011 --------- $ 109,704 ========= Revenue Recognition Due to the Company's limited operating history and uncertainty with respect to the market acceptance of the Company's product, management has elected to defer recognition of revenue on product sales until the related accounts receivable have been collected. This basis of revenue recognition is expected to continue until, in the opinion of management, there exists sufficient history of customer payments and returns to provide a reasonable basis to conclude that revenue is earned at the point of shipment. 7

MCHENRY METALS GOLF CORP. AND SUBSIDIARY (A Development Stage Company) NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) JANUARY 13, 1997 TO DECEMBER 31, 1997 NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED) Property and Equipment Property and equipment are stated at cost. Those items that had been placed in service are being depreciated over their estimated useful lives of two to seven years using the straight-line method. Patents and Trademarks The patents and trademarks are recorded at cost and amortized over seventeen years using the straight-line method. Estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amount of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Stock Based Compensation In October, 1995, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation. This statement permits a company to choose either a new fair value based method or the current APB Opinion 25 intrinsic value based method of accounting for its stock-based compensation arrangements. The statement requires pro forma disclosures of net income and earnings per share computed as if the fair value method had been applied in financial statements of companies that continue to follow current practice in accounting for such arrangements under Opinion 25. The Company has elected to follow Opinion 25 and make the required disclosures as outlined in Statement 123 (see Note 9). Income Taxes The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with statement Financial Accounting Standards No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes, which 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 difference between the financial statement and tax basis of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates in effect for the year which the differences are expected to be settled or realized. 8

MCHENRY METALS GOLF CORP. AND SUBSIDIARY (A Development Stage Company) NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) JANUARY 13, 1997 TO DECEMBER 31, 1997 NOTE 7 - CONCENTRATION OF RISK The Company maintains its cash in bank deposit and brokerage accounts which, at times, may exceed federally insured limits. The Company believes it is not exposed to any significant credit risk on cash. NOTE 8 - FORWARD STOCK SPLIT As a negotiated term of the acquisition of the subsidiary, the Parent's Board of Directors approved a 2.2 to 1 forward split of its outstanding common stock effective April 1, 1997. This increased the number of shares outstanding, from 577,770 shares to 1,271,094 shares, before the issuance of shares for the acquisition of the subsidiary. NOTE 9 - RESTRICTED STOCK AND STOCK OPTIONS GRANTED The Company has awarded restricted stock to some of its employees as part of the compensation package under the employment contracts being finalized. It has also granted stock options to other employees as part of their compensation package. The Company applies APB Opinion No. 25 and related interpretations in accounting for its plans. Accordingly, for the stock options, no compensation cost has been recognized. The compensation cost charged against income for the restricted stock award was $48,837. Had compensation cost for the stock options been determined based on the fair value at the grant dates, consistent with the alternative method set forth under SFAS 123, the Company's net loss would have been increased by $99,000. The Board of Directors has granted the following stock options: Options Option Price Exercise date Options granted 600,000 $ .500 Up to September 1, 2000 Options granted 250,000 $ .500 100,000 on or after December 31, 1997; 150,000 on or after December 31, 1998 Options granted 300,000 $ 1.750 200,000 on or after December 31, 1997; 100,000 on or after December 31, 1998 up to May 27, 2000 12
