PART I ITEM 1. DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS Registrant was incorporated in 1997 as Baskin In The Sun International, Inc. in Florida to act as a U. S. holding company for the British Virgin Islands subsidiary, Baskin In The Sun, Ltd. Hereafter, Baskin In the Sun International, Inc. will be referred to as "the Company". CORPORATE NAME CHANGE At an extraordinary meeting of shareholders held June 10, 1999, the motion for the corporate name was changed to Divedepot.com, Inc. From this time forward the Company will operate under the name Divedepot.com, Inc. with the BVI subsidiary maintaining it's current identity of Baskin In The Sun, Ltd. Travel and non-diving specific operations will operate on a DBA basis under the Baskin In The Sun name. PREDECESSOR HISTORY The Original Baskin In The Sun ("BITS") was founded in February of 1969 on the little known island of Grenada by Alan M. Baskin. In 1973, an unstable political environment prompted Alan Baskin to sell the existing business together with the dive boats and SCUBA equipment. The "Baskin In The Sun" name, however, was retained. DOMINICAN REPUBLIC: The second Baskin In The Sun operation opened in Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic, in September of 1974. The business at the time consisted of a SCUBA store, a classroom for teaching courses and a single dive boat. This company was the first professional operation of its kind in the Dominican Republic. In 1975 Mr. Baskin sold his interest in the company, but again retained the corporate name. He formed a partnership with one of the original investors, Eva Cope, and opened his third dive operation, this time at the Punta Cana Hotel, a resort on the eastern shore of the Dominican Republic. The hotel and dive operation was sold to Club Med in the spring of 1977. HAITI: In November of 1977 Baskin In The Sun opened for business in Haiti. This move came about for several reasons. First, there were no professional SCUBA diving operations in the country. Second, the Duvalier government exerted political stability and was interested in promoting tourism. Finally, it represented a challenge to be successful in Haiti. The problems associated with establishing a viable business in Haiti were daunting. Haiti had a serious public relations problem and was therefore a difficult vacation spot to sell. Baskin In The Sun operated for nine years in Haiti, while more than fourteen similar dive businesses met with failure. Unfortunately on February 7, 1985 the Haitian Revolution began. The airlines stopped flying; the tourists stopped coming. After nine years in Haiti it was necessary to close and relocate Baskin In The Sun to a new location where it might be an attractive destination. 3

BRITISH VIRGIN ISLANDS: As a British colony, the BVI offered unquestioned political stability and, furthermore, it was already recognized as an outstanding diving location. Alan Baskin and Eva Cope purchased an existing business called Marler Industries, Ltd. (DBA Aquatic Centres) from George and Luana Marler in Road Town, Tortola, in April of 1986. This business had been operating in the BVI since 1971. However, it was clear that the company had been neglected and was in financial trouble. Management was ineffective and many of the company's assets had been depleted. To capitalize on the "Baskin In The Sun" name, "Aquatic Centres": was dropped and a new corporation was formed under the name - Baskin In The Sun, Ltd. Most of the first year of business was spent restructuring the company and the operation. Donald Mitchell and his daughter Lisa Mitchell ( an experienced diving instructor), together with a small group of Investors, acquired Baskin In The Sun, Ltd. from Alan Baskin and Eva Cope in 1993. A predecessor to Divedepot.com, Inc. was formed in 1996, under the laws of the Republic of Panama as BASKIN IN THE SUN INTERNATIONAL, S.A. The purpose of the predecessor was to own and operate dive facilities and provide ancillary travel, retail and rental activities related to the diving industry in the British Virgin Islands and other locations. The predecessor, Baskin In The Sun International, S.A., was formed in 1996 to consolidate the subsidiaries Baskin In The Sun, Ltd., Baskin In Panama, S.A., the investment in Discovery Diving & Fishing, Inc. The predecessor, Baskin In The Sun International, S.A. was unsuccessful in its efforts to raise additional capital as a foreign corporation, and had an unsuccessful investment in Discovery Dive & Fishing, Inc. in Key Largo, Florida. In December 1997, management formed the company, which then purchased all of the assets and liabilities of the predecessor. No markup or goodwill was recorded in the accounting for the transaction. The subsidiary in BVI, Baskin In The Sun, Ltd. became a subsidiary of the new company. The Company, Baskin In The Sun International, Inc. (name changed to DiveDepot.Com, Inc. in June 1999) was originally founded in 1997 and in December of 1997 acquired in exchange for stock and assumption of debt the British Virgin Island company, Baskin In The Sun, Ltd. as a subsidiary. The Company commenced operations in the United States on December 1st, 1997, its purpose to engage in dive travel, promotions and marketing activities in support of the subsidiary located in the British Virgin Islands. The Company has funded its activities primarily through a combination of operating revenues, debt and through the private placement of equity. The Company's Revenue through June 30, 2000 has been primarily generated from the sale of travel packages. The Company's current focus is on developing an improved capacity to efficiently market and sell dive trip packages including airline and hotel accommodations located in the Caribbean. Management believes that the ability to market dive travel and other specialty adventure travel products via 4
10SB12G/A5th Page of 66TOC1stPreviousNextBottomJust 5th
the internet provides an opportunity to expand the current operation substantially, and accordingly has developed an additional business direction of internet marketing of travel/dive ventures through its internet dive portal (divedepot.com). MARKETING The Corporate Strategy for the Company is to be an recreational diving resource. While the nature of the business is recreational diving the company's marketing focus will be on the consumer. The primary objective of the Company is to market dive resort packages to consumers over the next three to five years. By carefully choosing new destinations, the number and variety of dive travel packages will be significantly increased and customized in line with guest's needs and desires. The Company has developed a centralized reservation service located in Longwood, Florida to assist in its marketing efforts. The continued development of the Company's U.S. based centralized reservation, marketing, sales and travel service will enable Baskin customers from around the world to arrange for vacation packages to vacation locations with one telephone call, e-mail or fax. This direct reservations service will provide cost savings for the company as a whole in addition to substantially increased sales opportunities. The Company has established an educational program that focuses on continuing diver training to promote loyal repeat customers. With the Company's focus on growth and diversification, this customer base will be the primary business source for the expanded sites, travel services and investment opportunities. The Company has been developing specialty courses and seasonal events to give guests additional creative diving opportunities. Each dive trip is different, even if it is to the same dive site. This diversification of programs and events will give both repeat customers and first time guests more variety, as well as the opportunity to gain additional certifications and a broadening of underwater knowledge. A key element within the long term objectives of the Company to remain firmly rooted in the developing and growing Recreation and Leisure Industry. The Company intends to become involved in every related aspect of the diving business to include equipment rental and travel/reservations coordination. 5

CURRENT OPERATIONS OF SUBSIDIARY BASKIN IN THE SUN, LTD. IN BVI The current revenue producing areas of the Company operations primarily focus on Training, Diving, Rentals and Merchandising in its BVI dive resort operations and 80% of the its business falls into these four revenue categories. The British Virgin Islands are known by purists within the diving profession as offering the widest variety of diving opportunities in the Caribbean. There are several shipwrecks throughout the BVI located at varying depths, accommodating all levels of divers, including snorkelers. The wreck of the famous British packet, "The Rhone", for example, lends itself to both snorkeling and SCUBA activities. Wreck diving is of consummate interest to snorkelers and SCUBA divers since wrecks attract hordes of tropical and reef fish. Wrecks also sponsor a serious interest in the history of the period and in those passengers associated with the wreck.. Currently, there are three Baskin In The Sun locations in the British Virgin Islands: Soper's Hole, Prospect Reef, and Peter Island. The first dive center is in Soper's Hole, on Frenchman's Cay. Locally known as the "West End", Soper's Hole is a protected harbor nestled among steep hills and dotted with glistening yachts. The second operation, Prospect Reef, is located on the property of The Prospect Reef Hotel. This hotel is among the largest within the British Virgin Islands with approximately 131 rooms, six lighted tennis courts, a deep water diving pool, Olympic designed swimming pool, several different room configurations, and charming restaurants. The Prospect Reef location is a short distance from the new government building where cruise ship passengers disembark. This is very significant for the business growth of Baskin In The Sun because the British Virgin Islands has a duty-free status. This places the island of Tortola on a more competitive footing with St. Thomas, St. John and St. Croix in the US Virgin Islands. The exclusive Peter Island Resort is the location of the third dive operation. Baskin In The Sun has chosen this charming setting from which to operate and promote the diving experience. The Company has three dive boats, a basic requirement for the diving and marine recreational business. These boats have configurations that permit client comfort in a variety of seas. All the BITS boats have good maintenance and performance records. The Company is committed to fleet modernization and will seek new dive boats that will improve customer service and safety. 6

Insurance requirements for the Company are currently handled by Lloyds of London. Baskin In The Sun is a PADI 5-Star Instructor Development Center (IDC), and authorized to certify all levels up to Dive Instructor. The Company is also affiliated with NAUI, SSI and other major scuba certification. INTERNET DIVE PORTAL (DIVEDEPOT.COM) In conjunction with its dive resort and travel business, the Company has identified a significant opportunity for utilizing the internet to web enable many of its marketing programs and create an internet presence in the sport diving industry. The domain and operating name Divedepot.com, Inc. has been researched and trademarked and the domain registered, and a website is under development. The "Master Dive Portal - Divedepot.com, Inc." will be automatically updated to contain virtually all existing web content relative to diving where all pages are posted automatically to all search engines and directories. By incorporating several traffic generation techniques and services, the site will attempt to become the most active scuba diving category-specific portal on the web. This searchable site is intended to also allow many other diver-related web services that will further enhance the traffic: 1. FREE E-MAIL ACCOUNTS TO ALL DIVERS by using this e-mail the diver would be automatically entered in drawings, get dive related news, be updated on specials etc. The model for this is the hotmail.com e-mail system offered by Microsoft. Every e-mail sent is a marketing piece, as it has a tag line that is automatically attached containing a hyperlink to the divedepot.com portal. This system will be completely automated and runs on the web mail server. It also allows a user to check/send e-mail with only a browser. 2. To enhance this further the Company will give individuals 1-3 personal pages for their own use. As people go to these pages they will pass through the divedepot.com portal site and generate other impressions and marketing opportunities. 7
10SB12G/A8th Page of 66TOC1stPreviousNextBottomJust 8th
3. The divedepot postcard system. As part of e-mail registration and the mail system the user will be able to send an e-postcard using a variety of formats and include proprietary photos by copying in digital photos and .gif or .jpeg images. 4. Dive shop websites. The Company will create at least an e-commerce page for virtually every recognized dive shop in the world. Shops will then be able to go up to several pages by providing us the content, logos, prices for courses etc.. If they currently have a site it will be initially copied it to registrant's the appropriate heading. The system will allow all to have an e-commerce site under the divedepot.com domain and all transactions and travel will result in a commission being paid to the shop. This system will promote the loyalty of the dive shops who are major players in the training of new divers and sponsoring dive travel. THE COMPANY INTENDS TO GENERATE WEB DIRECT REVENUE SOURCES 1. The BVI subsidiary - Baskin In The Sun, Ltd. will be a featured advertiser on the divedepot site driving traffic to the Baskin site for Dive Travel services, providing a low cost way of creating substantial traffic through the Baskin site. 2. Web advertising space will be sold to dive equipment, dive shops, resorts and services providers. 3. Partnering with book resellers at each content area to sell books on the subject and other related items. By registering all dive shops and their clients, the Company will be able to charge a commission to the dive retailer every time a direct internet purchase is effected for either travel services or merchandise. This unique partnering arrangement with the retail shops promotes ongoing loyalty and a maximization of all potential sales outlets. COMPETITION The Company expects to encounter substantial competition in its efforts to build its businesses. Many of these entities will have significantly greater experience, financial and other resources and managerial capabilities than the Company and will therefore be in a better position than the Company to market services. 8

ADMINISTRATIVE OFFICES The Company currently maintains a mailing address at 2101 West SR 434, Suite 221, Longwood, Florida, 32779. The Company's telephone number is (407) 949-9300. The wholly owned subsidiary (Baskin In The Sun, Ltd.) maintains offices at Prospect Reef Hotel, Slaney Point, Tortola, British Virgin Islands, Tel 284-494-2858. The Company does not currently maintain any other office facilities. EMPLOYEES The Company currently employs a staff of five (5). Management of the Company expects to use consultants, attorneys and accountants as necessary and will require a further staff of eight (8) to carry on the intended business plan. Although there is no current plan with respect to its nature or amount, remuneration may be paid to or accrued for the benefit of, the Company's officers and directors in addition to Mr. Weller's current salary as President and CEO and Ms. Mitchell's current salary as Executive Vice President. See "Executive Compensation" and under "Certain Relationships and Related Transactions." RISK FACTORS 1. CONFLICTS OF INTEREST. Certain conflicts of interest may exist between the Company and its officers and directors. They have other business interests to which they devote their attention, and may be expected to continue to do so although management time should be devoted to the business of the Company. As a result, conflicts of interest may arise that can be resolved only through exercise of such judgment as is consistent with fiduciary duties to the Company. See "Management," and "Conflicts of Interest." 2. NEED FOR ADDITIONAL FINANCING. The Company has very limited funds, and such funds may not be adequate to take advantage of any available business opportunities. Even if the Company's funds prove to be sufficient to acquire an interest in, or complete a transaction with, a business opportunity, the Company may not have enough capital to exploit the opportunity. The ultimate success of the Company may depend upon its ability to raise additional capital. The Company has not investigated the availability, source, or terms that might govern the acquisition of additional capital and will not do so until it determines a need for additional financing. If additional capital is needed, there is no assurance that funds will be available from any source or, if available, that they can be obtained on terms acceptable to the Company. If not available, the Company's operations will be limited to those that can be financed with its modest capital. 3. REGULATION OF PENNY STOCKS. The Company's securities, when available for trading, will be subject to a Securities and Exchange Commission rule that imposes special sales practice requirements upon broker-dealers who sell such securities to persons other than established customers or accredited investors. For purposes of the rule, the phrase "accredited investors" means, in general terms, institutions with assets in excess of $5,000,000, or individuals having a net worth in excess of $1,000,000 or having an annual income that exceeds $200,000 (or that, when combined with a spouse's income, exceeds $300,000). For 9
10SB12G/A10th Page of 66TOC1stPreviousNextBottomJust 10th
transactions covered by the rule, the broker-dealer must make a special suitability determination for the purchaser and receive the purchaser's written agreement to the transaction prior to the sale. Consequently, the rule may affect the ability of broker-dealers to sell the Company's securities and also may affect the ability of purchasers in this offering to sell their securities in any market that might develop therefore. In addition, the Securities and Exchange Commission has adopted a number of rules to regulate "penny stocks." Such rules include Rules 3a51-1, 15g-1, 15g-2, 15g-3, 15g-4, 15g-5, 15g-6, 15g-7, and 15g-9 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Because the securities of the Company may constitute "penny stocks" within the meaning of the rules, the rules would apply to the Company and to its securities. The rules may further affect the ability of owners of Shares to sell the securities of the Company in any market that might develop for them. Shareholders should be aware that, according to Securities and Exchange Commission, the market for penny stocks has suffered in recent years from patterns of fraud and abuse. Such patterns include (i) control of the market for the security by one or a few broker-dealers that are often related to the promoter or issuer; (ii) manipulation of prices through prearranged matching of purchases and sales and false and misleading press releases; (iii) "boiler room" practices involving high-pressure sales tactics and unrealistic price projections by inexperienced sales persons; (iv) excessive and undisclosed bid-ask differentials and markups by selling broker-dealers; and (v) the wholesale dumping of the same securities by promoters and broker-dealers after prices have been manipulated to a desired level, along with the resulting inevitable collapse of those prices and with consequent investor losses. The Company's management is aware of the abuses that have occurred historically in the penny stock market. Although the Company does not expect to be in a position to dictate the behavior of the market or of broker-dealers who participate in the market, management will strive within the confines of practical limitations to prevent the described patterns from being established with respect to the Company's securities. 4. LIMITED OPERATING HISTORY. The parent company was formed in December 1997 in Florida (the subsidiary was incorporated as Marler Industries in BVI in 1971) for the purpose of engaging in any lawful business. The Company is not and has never been profitable. The Company has a limited operating history and has not yet reached a profitable operating stage. 5. NO ASSURANCE OF SUCCESS OR PROFITABILITY. There is no assurance that the Company will acquire a favorable business opportunity. There is no assurance that the company will generate profits, or that the market price of the Company's common stock will be increased thereby. 6. LACK OF DIVERSIFICATION. Because of the limited financial resources that the Company has, it is unlikely that the Company will be able to diversify its acquisitions or operations. The Company's probable inability to diversify its activities into more than one area will subject the Company to economic fluctuations within the scuba diving and travel industry and therefore increase the risks associated with the Company's operations. 10
10SB12G/A11th Page of 66TOC1stPreviousNextBottomJust 11th
7. OTHER REGULATION. An acquisition made by the Company may be of a business that is subject to regulation or licensing by federal, state, or local authorities. Compliance with such regulations and licensing can be expected to be a time-consuming, expensive process and may limit other investment opportunities of the Company. 8. DEPENDENCE UPON MANAGEMENT. Limited Participation of Management. The Company currently has only five individuals who are serving as its officers and directors. The Company will be heavily dependent upon their skills, talents, and abilities to implement its business plan, and may, from time to time, find that the inability of the officers and directors to devote their full time attention to the business of the Company results in a delay in progress toward implementing its business plan. See "Management." Because investors will not be able to evaluate the merits of possible business acquisitions by the Company, they should critically assess the information concerning the Company's officers and directors. 9. LACK OF CONTINUITY IN MANAGEMENT. The Company does not have an employment agreement with its officers and directors, and as a result, there is no assurance they will continue to manage the Company in the future. 10. INDEMNIFICATION OF OFFICERS AND DIRECTORS. Florida Revised Statutes provide for the indemnification of its directors, officers, employees, and agents, under certain circumstances, against attorney's fees and other expenses incurred by them in any litigation to which they become a party arising from their association with or activities on behalf of the Company. The Company will also bear the expenses of such litigation for any of its directors, officers, employees, or agents, upon such person's promise to repay the Company therefore if it is ultimately determined that any such person shall not have been entitled to indemnification. This indemnification policy could result in substantial expenditures by the Company, which it will be unable to recoup. 11. DIRECTOR'S LIABILITY LIMITED. Florida Revised Statutes exclude personal liability of its directors to the Company and its stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty except in certain specified circumstances. Accordingly, the Company will have a much more limited right of action against its directors than otherwise would be the case. This provision does not affect the liability of any director under federal or applicable state securities laws. 12. DEPENDENCE UPON OUTSIDE ADVISORS. To supplement the business experience of its officers and directors, the Company may be required to employ accountants, technical experts, appraisers, attorneys, or other consultants or advisors. The selection of any such advisors will be made by the Company's President without any input from stockholders. Furthermore, it is anticipated that such persons may be engaged on an "as needed" basis without a continuing fiduciary or other obligation to the Company. In the event the President of the Company considers it necessary to hire outside advisors, he may elect to hire persons who are affiliates, if they are able to provide the required services. 11
10SB12G/A12th Page of 66TOC1stPreviousNextBottomJust 12th
13. COMPETITION. The travel marketing and dive business is intensely competitive. The Company expects to be at a disadvantage when competing with many firms that have substantially greater financial and management resources and capabilities than the Company. 14. NO FORESEEABLE DIVIDENDS. The Company has not paid dividends on its common stock and does not anticipate paying such dividends in the foreseeable future. 15. NO PUBLIC MARKET EXISTS. There is no public market for the Company's common stock, and no assurance can be given that a market will develop or that a shareholder ever will be able to liquidate his investment without considerable delay, if at all. If a market should develop, the price may be highly volatile. Factors such as those discussed in this "Risk Factors" section may have a significant impact upon the market price of the securities offered hereby. Owing to the low price of the securities, many brokerage firms may not be willing to effect transactions in the securities. Even if a purchaser finds a broker willing to effect a transaction in these securities, the combination of brokerage commissions, state transfer taxes, if any, and any other selling costs may exceed the selling price. Further, many lending institutions will not permit the use of such securities as collateral for any loans. 16. RULE 144 SALES. All of the outstanding shares of common stock held by present officers, directors, and stockholders are "restricted securities" within the meaning of Rule 144 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. As restricted shares, these shares may be resold only pursuant to an effective registration statement or under the requirements of Rule 144 or other applicable exemptions from registration under the Act and as required under applicable state securities laws. Rule 144 provides in essence that a person who has held restricted securities for one year may, under certain conditions, sell every three months, in brokerage transactions, a number of shares that does not exceed the greater of 1.0% of a company's outstanding common stock or the average weekly trading volume during the four calendar weeks prior to the sale. There is no limit on the amount of restricted securities that may be sold by a nonaffiliated shareholder after the restricted securities have been held by the owner for a period of two years. Nonaffiliated shareholders of the Company who have held their shares for two years under Rule 144(K) are eligible to have freely tradable shares. A sale under Rule 144 or under any other exemption from the Act, if available, or pursuant to subsequent registration of shares of common stock of present stockholders, may have a depressive effect upon the price of the common stock in any market that may develop. 17. BLUE SKY CONSIDERATIONS. Because the securities registered hereunder have not been registered for resale under the blue sky laws of any state, the holders of such shares and persons who desire to purchase them in any trading market that might develop in the future, should be aware that there may be significant state blue-sky law restrictions upon the ability of investors to sell the securities and of purchasers to purchase the securities. Accordingly, investors should consider the secondary market for the Company's securities to be a very limited one. 12
10SB12G/A13th Page of 66TOC1stPreviousNextBottomJust 13th
18. CONTROL BY PRINCIPAL STOCKHOLDERS. The directors and executive officers of the company own a majority of the outstanding common stock in DiveDepot.Com. In particular, Donald Mitchell and entities under his beneficial ownership or control constitute the largest shareholder of the company's common stock. Donald Mitchell is, an officer and director. As a result, Mr. Mitchell may be able to control the election of members of the company's Board of Directors and generally exercise control over the company's corporate actions. Such concentration of ownership may also have the effect of delaying or preventing a change in control of the company. INDUSTRY RISK FACTORS THAT COULD AFFECT OPERATING RESULTS The following factors, together with other risk factors discussed in the "Overview" section of Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations and other information contained elsewhere herein, should be considered carefully in evaluating the company and its business. 1. NARROW GROSS MARGINS FOR AIR TRAVEL RELATED SALES. Approximately 5% of the company's revenues in fiscal 1998 were generated through air travel related sales. As a result of price competition and the entry of airlines into direct competition with the travel industry and, the elimination or reduction of commissions paid by airlines, the company's gross margins on air travel sales will continue to be fairly low, projected to be approximately 12% in fiscal 1999. As a result of the company's narrow gross margins in this product category, fluctuations in net revenues and operating costs may have an impact on the company's operating results. Further declines in the company's air travel gross margins may have an adverse effect on the company's business, financial condition and operating results. 2. DEPENDENCE ON BRITISH VIRGIN ISLAND OPERATIONS. Disruption of operations at the Baskin In The Sun Island locations for any reason, including power or telecommunications failures, natural disasters such as hurricanes, fires, tornadoes or floods, or work stoppages, would have a material adverse effect on the company's business, operating results and financial condition. 3.INCREASED EMPHASIS ON INTERNET GENERATED SALES. DiveDepot.Com's adventure travel sales are characterized by higher gross margins than those attainable in general vacation and domestic sales. As a result, the company's goal is to increase the proportion of revenues derived from the provision of adventure travel packages (dive, yacht charter and condo/villa) relative to air only or domestic travel sales. DiveDepot.Com's success in increasing its travel revenues will depend to a certain extent on the use of the internet as a proactive marketing and sales tool backed by the history of the Baskin In The Sun brand, identity, service and reputation. To the extent that DiveDepot.Com does not successfully increase the revenues attributable to its adventure travel business, the company's operating margins may be adversely affected. The company has also implemented a marketing program for selling its travel services, known as the "Partners in Paradise". If travel revenues do not increase sufficiently or the company fails to accurately price its services, the company's business, operating results and financial 13
10SB12G/A14th Page of 66TOC1stPreviousNextBottomJust 14th
condition would be materially and adversely affected. In addition, customer acceptance and strong sales of DiveDepot.Com travel services and merchandise and the ability to establish a significant participating group of dive shops or network will have a substantial impact on revenues. 4. NEED TO RECRUIT AND RETAIN MANAGEMENT, TECHNICAL AND SALES PERSONNEL. The company believes that its future success depends, to a large extent, upon the efforts and abilities of its executive officers, managers, technical and sales personnel. Failure by the company to attract and train skilled managers, technical and sales personnel on a timely basis, or the inability of the company to retain such personnel, could materially and adversely affect the company's business, operating results or financial condition. 5. MANAGEMENT OF GROWTH. The company has experienced business growth since its entry into the dive and travel industry. This growth has placed, and is expected to continue to place, a significant strain on the company's management, financial, sales, technical and support systems and personnel. The ability to manage its growth effectively will require it to continue to develop and improve its operational, financial and other internal systems and train, manage and motivate its employees. The company has in the past and will continue in the future to evaluate the acquisition of businesses that complement or expand the company's presence and profitability in the sport diving and related travel and merchandising industry. Integrating newly acquired businesses may divert significant management resources and attention from day to day operations. 6. COMPETITION. The sport diving, adventure travel and dive related merchandising industry is very competitive. DiveDepot.Com expects competition to intensify in the future. As an integrated product and service provider, DiveDepot.Com competes with sellers of travel, and other equipment and diving services providers. Management is not aware of any company, which would compete directly in every phase of the company's operations. Instead, DiveDepot.Com faces competition from a number of different sources and on different levels. Caradonna, Maduro, Island destinations, PADI Travel and others compete with DiveDepot.Com in adventure travel products. In addition to these large and established travel wholesalers, DiveDepot.Com also competes against numerous regional and local companies in the sport diving resort and dive instructional areas and many of these competitors have longstanding customer relationships. For the dive travel markets, there is intense competition from destinations that have much cheaper air fare from the United States and less expensive hotel accommodations. Many of the company's competitors have greater financial, technical and marketing resources. As a result, such companies may be able to respond more quickly to new or emerging changes in customer needs or devote more resources to the development, promotion and sales of their services than DiveDepot.Com. In addition, competition could result in price decreases and depress gross margins in the industry. Declines in the company's gross margins may exacerbate the impact of fluctuating net revenues and operating costs on the company's operating results and have a material adverse affect on the company's business, operating results and financial condition. 14
10SB12G/A15th Page of 66TOC1stPreviousNextBottomJust 15th
The principal competitive factors in the company's industry include the breadth and quality of destinations, and services offerings, availability, pricing, and expertise of the sales and operational workforce. Management believes that it competes favorably with respect to each of these factors. However, there can be no assurance that DiveDepot.Com will, in the future, be able to compete successfully against existing or future competitors or that such competition will not adversely affect DiveDepot.Com's business, operating results and financial condition. 7. HIGH DEGREE OF LEVERAGE; FUTURE CAPITAL NEEDS. The Company requires substantial capital to fund its business and, in particular, to finance internet and sales and marketing organizational development, accounts receivable, capital expenditures, salaries and lease payments on its Orlando and British Virgin Island facilities. To date, the company has relied on an influx of equity and debt to finance its business and its expansion. As a result, the company is highly leveraged. Substantially all of the company's outstanding indebtedness is tied to the prime rate. The company is not currently a party to any financial instruments, which would mitigate the company's exposure to increases in the prime interest rate. Accordingly, increases in the prime rate could adversely impact the company's pretax income or otherwise materially and adversely affect the company's business, operating results or financial condition. Also, there can be no assurance that the company will be able to generate sufficient cash from operations to satisfy future interest and principal payments. In the event that the company is unable to meet its payment obligations or needs additional capital to fund its business, the company would be required to seek alternative sources of financing or attempt to refinance its existing credit facilities. There can be no assurance that such alternative equity or debt funding would be available on terms acceptable to the company, if at all. Under such circumstances, the company's inability to procure additional funding or refinance existing indebtedness would have a material adverse effect on the company's business, operating results and financial condition. 8. LIABILITY AND RISKS FROM PERSONAL INJURY. The sport diving industry is not highly regulated, and relies on the small group of training agencies to set safety standards. The company operates under a number of local safety regulations and all vessels and dive equipment are inspected annually. All dive instructors must be certified and insured. The company's diving operations are constantly exposed to the possibility of accidents or fatalities related to the sport. A serious accident or fatality could have a serious and material effect on the company's diving operations and could result in civil penalties on behalf of the company, its employees, officers and directors. While the company has all regulatory permits and insurance for its business as presently conducted, and operates to the highest safety standards there can be no assurance that such insurance would cover every contingency. 15

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS. IMPORTANT NOTE ABOUT FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS This Registration Statement contains forward looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Predictions of future events are inherently uncertain. Actual events could differ materially from those predicted in the forward looking statements due to a number of factors including but not limited to the risks set forth in the following discussion. THE FOLLOWING DISCUSSION SHOULD BE READ IN CONJUNCTION WITH THE UNAUDITED INTERIM CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND RELATED NOTES THERETO INCLUDED IN PART 1- ITEM 1 OF THIS REPORT AND DIVEDEPOT.COM'S AUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS In late 1998 DiveDepot.Com began negotiating to operate the diving concession at the Peter Island Resort in the British Virgin Islands. A concession operating contract was signed with Amway Hotel Corp. and operations commenced at that location on April 1st, 1999. It is managements expectation that this operating unit under the control of the subsidiary Baskin In The Sun, Ltd. will increase to gross sales for the company. Management has worked to reduce overhead and streamline management and operations in the subsidiary Baskin In The Sun, Ltd. In early 1999 management determined that there was a need for a dive related internet portal. This portal would be a search engine containing virtually all available information for the industry and also be a transactional based system allowing dive shops, dive resorts and manufacturers the ability to conduct e-commerce between the users and the diving enthusiasts who would avail themselves of the services provided to the diving public. DiveDepot.Com management entered into internet development contracts with Virtacon Corp, Webulate, LLC, Q Sound Corp, and Prismawebs to design support and host the internet portal to be known as DiveDepot.Com. At an extraordinary meeting of shareholders held June 10, 1999 the motion to change the name of the parent corporation to DiveDepot.Com, Inc. was unanimously approved. In anticipation of the development of the DiveDepot.Com project, the added vessels and equipment to support the Peter Island operations and for general working capital the company made a private placement offering which raised $435,000. 16

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS FOR THE QUARTER ENDED JUNE 30, 2000 COMPARED TO THE SAME PERIOD IN 1999 The Company had revenues for the three month period of $271,116 in 2000, compared to $206,549 in 1999. The cost of sales in the period in 2000 was $112,026 and in 1999 cost of sales was $55,082. The gross profit was $159,090 in the period in 2000 compared to $151,467 in 1999. The operating expenses in the period in 2000 increased to $406,564 from $182,341 in 1999. The net loss in the period in 2000 was ($256,677) compared to ($36,396) in the period in 1999. COST OF REVENUE. Cost of Sales totaled $112,026 (or 41% of sales) for the three months ended June 30, 2000 compared to $55,082 in 1999. Cost of sales consists primarily of costs to provide travel related services to clients; the costs of merchandise sold in the retail stores and to a minor extent the costs fuel and training materials sold to third parties. Management believes that there is significant room for reducing the relative cost of travel services and retail merchandise as volumes increases and buying power is more firmly established. Management has reduced substantially the inventory carried over the last three years and streamlined the purchasing operations. OPERATING EXPENSES. (Including Marketing, Sales and Administration). Operating expenses totaled $406,564 for the three months ended June 30, 2000, compared to $182,341 in 1999. Operating expenses include all the ongoing dive operations in the British Virgin Islands. Dive operations expenses are high as a percentage of sales and significant economies of scale can be achieved as diving activities increase. At present, infrastructure and equipment is in place within the companies operations in the BVI to accommodate substantial additional business with only minor capital expenditures, marketing, sales and administration expense consist primarily of personnel expenses, accounting, legal expenses and marketing development, promotion and sales activities, including salary and commissions, costs of marketing programs and the cost of attending various dive shows and travel trade shows. This expenditure reflects a substantial investment in the internet systems, customer support, marketing and sales organizations necessary to support the company's expanded customer base. Management expects marketing, sales and administration expenditures to continue to increase in dollar amount, but to decline as a percentage of revenue. Specifically, the administrative infrastructure of DiveDepot.Com is designed to anticipate future travel, and merchandise sales that have not yet occurred. As these sales occur, administrative expenses will not increase substantially and will decline as a percentage of revenue. The company has also incurred significant administrative costs in fulfilling its regulatory obligations in preparation for and as a potential public entity. Management expects these expenses to remain constant and therefore decline as a percentage of revenue. Together, therefore, management anticipates that marketing, sales and administrative expenses will increase somewhat more modestly than in the previous quarter of the last fiscal year, but decline sharply as percentage of revenue as sales of travel and merchandise increase. Operating loss for the period in 2000 was ($256,677) as compared to ($36,396) in 1999 for the quarter. NET LOSS. DiveDepot.Com had a loss of approximately ($211,731) for the quarter June 30, 2000 after an extraordinary gain on sale of fixed assets of $44,945. Net loss for the quarter in 1999 was ($36,396). RESULTS OF OPERATIONS FOR THE SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2000 The Company had sales revenues of $571,017 in the period in 2000 compared to $688,495 for the period in 1999. COST OF REVENUE. Cost of Sales totaled $268,431( or 41% of sales) for the period in 2000 compared to $183,605 in 1999. Cost of sales consists primarily of costs to provide travel related services to clients; the costs of merchandise sold in the retail stores and to a minor extent the costs of fuel and training materials sold to third parties. 17

OPERATING EXPENSES (Including Marketing, Sales and Administration). Operating expenses totaled $755,207 for the six month period ended June 30, 2000, compared to $607,802 in 1999. Operating expenses include all costs of salaries, rent, utilities, repairs, fuel and all costs associated with the ongoing dive operations in the British Virgin Islands. The Company had a loss on operations of ($471,027) in the six month period in 2000, as compared to a loss of ($121,319) in the same period in 1999. The Company had an extraordinary gain of $44,945 in the second quarter of 2000 which reduced the net loss for the six month period to ($427,082) compared to ($121,319) in loss for the same period in 1999. The loss per share for the six month period in 2000 was ($.21) and in 1999, it was ($.095). Losses can be expected to continue as the Company attempts to expand its business. Management believes that period-to-period comparisons of its financial results should not be relied upon as an indication of future performance. DiveDepot.Com may experience significant period-to-period fluctuations in operating results depending upon factors such as the success of the DiveDepot.Com's efforts to expand sales and implement its internet marketing programs and mix of products and services and changes in, and the timing of, expenses relating to development and sales and marketing. Other factors that may contribute to variability of operating results include the timely deployment and implementation of expansion of the DiveDepot.Com outside sales network or internal direct marketing capability, changes in demand for sport diving travel and related products and services, the cyclical nature of marine expenditures and the overall health of the regional and international economy. LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES To date, the Company has satisfied its cash requirements primarily through debt, the sale of capital stock and through operating revenues. The Company's principal uses of cash are to fund working capital requirements and capital expenditures and to service its vendor, payroll and professional expenses. CASH FLOWS Net cash used in operating activities for the three months ended June 30, 2000 was approximately $110,397. The amount of cash used in operating activities in the period was primarily impacted by the increased costs of operations and expenses associated with commencement opening the new dive operations at Peter Island. Additional cash expenditures were caused by increased costs in supporting the DiveDepot.Com internet development program and the expansion of DiveDepot.Com's management, sales, marketing and organizational infrastructure. NEED FOR ADDITIONAL FINANCING The Company does not have capital sufficient to meet the Company's cash needs, which remain critical due to continuing operating losses. The Company will have to seek loans or equity placements to cover such cash needs. No commitments to provide additional funds have been made by management or other stockholders. Accordingly, there can be no assurance that any additional funds will be available to the Company to allow it to cover its expenses as they may be incurred. In regard to the possibility that the shares of the Company would qualify for listing on NASDAQ, the current NASDAQ standards include the requirements that the issuer of the securities that are sought to be listed have net tangible assets of at least $4,000,000. The Company does not satisfy the NASDAQ listing criteria, at this time. 18

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS FOR YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1999 COMPARED TO SAME PERIOD IN 1998. The Company had revenues of $1,187,538 in 1999 compared to $1,326,414 in 1998. Cost of sales in 1999 was $841,699, compared to a cost of sales in 1998 of $940,038. In 1999 the gross profit was $345,839, and in 1998 gross profit was $386,376. The Company incurred operating expenses of $671,971 in 1999 compared to $587,204 in 1998. After amortization of goodwill of $36,811 for each year, the Company sustained a loss on operations totalling ($362,943) in 1999 and ($237,639) in 1998. The net loss was $362,943 in 1999 and ($237,639) in 1998. The diving income for the Company rose to $548,502 in 1999 from $415,999 in 1998. Certification income from divers was $76,274 in 1999 compared to $78,090 in 1998. Merchandise sales were $286,666 in 1999 and $290,914 in 1998. Travel package income decreased to $156,333 in 1999 from $372,613 in 1998, as a result of the Company changing its marketing of this area due to unprofitability. The Company incurred yacht charter expenses in 1999 of $27,534 for a new travel program not offered in 1998. Repair income was off in 1999 to $26,907 from $40,052 in 1998. The Company's largest operational expense items were merchandise costs of $173,634 in 1999 compared to $147,209 in 1998, and salaries of $433,152 in 1999 as compared to $370,108 in 1998.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES The Company had $15,410 in cash at year end 1999, down from $27,482 at 1998 year end. Current assets were $142,930 and $162,534 at year end 1999 and 1998, respectively. The current liabilities of the Company were $645,543 and $353,854 at year end 1999 and 1998, respectively. The Company had inadequate capital and needed to borrow funds or make private placements of stock in order to fund operations and pay liabilities at year end. CASH FLOWS The Company, at year end, had inadequate cash flow to pay accounts payable and current operations costs. The operations deficits of ($362,943) for 1999 and ($237,639) show continued unprofitability in the start up share of the Company's business efforts. NEED FOR ADDITIONAL FINANCING The Company does not have capital sufficient to meet the Company's cash needs. The Company will have to seek loans or equity placements to cover such cash needs. No commitments to provide additional funds have been made by management or other stockholders. Accordingly, there can be no assurance that any additional funds will be available to the Company to allow it to cover its expenses as they may be incurred. Irrespective of whether the Company's cash assets prove to be inadequate to meet the Company's operational needs, the Company might seek to compensate providers of services by issuances of stock in lieu of cash. 20

YEAR 2000 ISSUES Year 2000 problems result primarily from the inability of some computer software to properly store, recall, or use data after December 31, 1999. These problems may affect many computers and other devices that contain embedded computer chips. Based on a review of its existing information systems, the Company does not anticipate that it will incur significant costs in connection with bring its information systems into compliance with Year 2000 requirements. Most of DiveDepot.Com's software is non-customized third-party software. However, there is no guarantee that the company will not experience disruptions in its operations due to a failure of its vendors, key suppliers, lenders, utility providers or dealers in addressing their individual Year 2000 compliance issues effectively. The Company relies on non-IT systems that may suffer from Year 2000 problems, including telephone systems and facsimile and other, office machines. Moreover, the Company relies on third-parties that may suffer from Year 2000 problems that could affect the Company's operations, including banks, reservation systems, and utilities. The Company does not believe that such non-IT systems or third-party Year 2000 problems will affect the Company in a manner that is different or more substantial than such problems affect other similarly situated companies or industry generally. Consequently, the Company does not currently intend to conduct any further readiness assessment of Year 2000 problems or to develop a detailed contingency plan with respect to Year 2000 problems that may affect the Company.

Weller, Lisa A. Mitchell and Carl Dilley and/or directors receives any compensation for their respective services rendered to the Company, nor have they received such compensation in the past.

Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers or persons controlling the Company pursuant to the foregoing provisions, the Company has been informed that, in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission, such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in that Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. CONFLICTS OF INTEREST The officers and directors of the Company will not devote more than a portion of their time to the affairs of the Company. There will be occasions when the time requirements of the Company's business conflict with the demands of their other business and investment activities.

Conflict of Interest - General. Certain of the officers and directors of the Company may be directors and/or principal shareholders of other companies and, therefore, could face conflicts of interest with respect to time.

REPORTS TO STOCKHOLDERS The Company plans to furnish its stockholders with an annual report for each fiscal year containing financial statements audited by its independent certified public accountants. In the event the Company enters into a business combination with another company, it is the present intention of management to continue furnishing annual reports to stockholders. The Company intends to comply with the periodic reporting requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 for so long as it is subject to those requirements, and to file unaudited quarterly reports and annual reports with audited financial statements as required by the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. PART II ITEM 1. MARKET PRICE AND DIVIDENDS ON THE REGISTRANT'S COMMON EQUITY AND OTHER SHAREHOLDER MATTERS No public trading market exists for the Company's securities and all of its outstanding securities are restricted securities as defined in Rule 144. There were 33 holders of record of the Company's common stock on December 31, 1999. No dividends have been paid to date and the Company's Board of Directors does not anticipate paying dividends in the foreseeable future. ITEM 2. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS The Company is a party to only one legal action. That action is in the Circuit Court for Miami - Dade County, Florida, Plaintiff, the firm of Marc M. Harris, on behalf of others has alleged breach of contract, fraud, conversion, and constructive trust. The total amount of the claim by the firm of Marc M. Harris is recorded as long-term debt on the company books and audited financial statements. This debt was acquired in the acquisition of all liabilities and assets of Baskin In The Sun International, S.A. The Company is vigorously defending the action and believes the action is without foundation because the Plaintiff offset accounts containing funds of Baskin In The Sun, S.A. in similar amounts to those claimed.

The Company filed an answer and a counter claim.

(1) The sales listed above was made for services as listed. All of the listed sales were made in reliance upon the exemption from registration offered by Section 4 (2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. Based upon Subscription Agreements completed by each of the subscribers, the Company had reasonable grounds to believe immediately prior to making an offer to the private investors, and did in fact believe, when such subscriptions were accepted, that such purchasers (1) were purchasing for investment and not with a view to distribution, and (2) had such knowledge and experience in financial and business matters that they were capable of evaluating the merits and risks of their investment and were able to bear those risks. The purchasers had access to pertinent information enabling them to ask informed questions. The shares were issued without the benefit of registration. An appropriate restrictive legend is imprinted upon each of the certificates representing such shares, and stop-transfer instructions have been entered in the Company's transfer records. All such sales were effected without the aid of underwriters, and no sales commissions were paid. * Each of these sales was made in reliance upon Regulation D, Rule 504 as an exemption to Registration under the Securities Act of 1933. All of the investors were sophisticated and were known by principals in the company to have business investment experience. The company provided a personal interview with a principal in the company for each investor who explained the business plan, and provided a copies of any documents requested by an investor. Each subscriber executed a subscription agreement in which the subscriber acknowledged a) an understanding of the investment risks, b) an understanding of the nature of the securities as being unregistered, and restricted from transfer c) an ability to hear economic risk of loss and illiquidity, and d) an investment intent and not a purchase for redistribution. 32

ITEM 5. INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS The Florida Revised Statutes provide that the Company may indemnify its officers and directors for costs and expenses incurred in connection with the defense of actions, suits, or proceedings where the officer or director acted in good faith and in a manner he reasonably believed to be in the Company's best interest and is a party by reason of his status as an officer or director, absent a finding of negligence or misconduct in the performance of duty. EXCLUSION OF LIABILITY The Florida Corporation Act excludes personal liability for its directors for monetary damages based upon any violation of their fiduciary duties as directors, except as to liability for any breach of the duty of loyalty, acts or omissions not in good faith or which involve intentional misconduct or knowing violation of law, acts in violation of the Florida Corporation Act, or any transaction from which a director receives an improper personal benefit. This exclusion of liability does not limit any right which a director may have to be indemnified and does not affect any director's liability under federal or applicable state securities laws. 33

BOX 3083 E-MAIL: DTT@SURFBVI.COM Road Town, Tortola WWW.DELOITTE.COM British Virgin Islands INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT To the Shareholders' of DIVEDEPOT.COM, INC. AND SUBSIDIARY We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of DiveDepot.com, Inc. and its subsidiary (the "Group") as of December 31, 1999 and 1998 and the related consolidated statements of loss, of changes in shareholders' equity and of cash flows for the years ended December 31, 1999 and 1998 (all expressed in United States dollars). These financial statements are the responsibility of the Group's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion. In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Group as of December 31, 1999 and 1998, and the results of its operations, changes in shareholders' equity and cash flows for the years ended December 31, 1999 and 1998 in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
