From September 5-24, 2001, Mrs. Laurie Bird Kitts, eCom Corporate Secretary, conducted a due diligence review of various aspects of TTR's business. Based upon the foregoing series of events and activities, on September 21 , 2001, the board of directors of eCom unanimously approved the terms of the transaction, which are reflected in the stock purchase agreement dated September 5, 2001. TTR'S REASONS FOR THE TRANSACTION TTR believes the proposed transaction with eCom will help further its strategic goal to grow and diversify its business. The TTR board of directors endorsed the transaction with eCom after considering the following factors: - The effect on shareholder value of TTR remaining an independent entity. The board of directors considered benefits and costs of eCom's current and prospective efforts at diversifying and growing its business. - A review of (a) the business, operations, earnings and financial condition, including technological capabilities, capital levels and asset quality, of eCom on both an historical and prospective basis; (b) the business fit of TTR and eCom ; and (c) the operating philosophy, competence and experience of eCom and its management. - The adequacy of the consideration. A comparison of the financial terms of recent comparable transactions indicated that the financial terms of the stock purchase agreement compared favorably with other recent transactions. - The terms of the stock purchase agreement, including the per share exchange rate and the ability of TTR to terminate the agreement under certain circumstances. - The opportunity to leverage eCom's infrastructure and technological capabilities to grow earnings. - The ability of eCom to contribute to TTR's business strategy. - The economic effect of the transaction on TTR, as well as the future business opportunities served by TTR. While each member of the TTR board of directors individually considered the foregoing and other factors, the board of directors did not collectively assign any specific or relative weights to the factors considered and did not make any determination as to any individual factor. eCOM'S REASONS FOR THE TRANSACTION eCom believes the proposed transaction with TTR will further its strategic goal to grow and diversify its operations. The eCom board of directors endorsed the transaction with TTR after considering the following factors: 28
S-4/A29th Page of 104TOC1stPreviousNextBottomJust 29th
- The benefits and costs of TTR's current and prospective efforts at growing its business and the increasing competition in the high performance industry. - A review of (a) the business, operations, earnings and financial condition, including TTR's future business potential; (b) the business fit of eCom and TTR; and (c) the operating philosophy, competence and experience of eCom and its management. - The financial terms of the transaction, including the relationship of the value of the consideration eCom will provide TTR shareholders in relation to TTR's historical book value and earnings and a comparison of the financial terms of recent comparable transactions; - The ability of the operations of TTR after the closing to contribute to eCom's consolidated earnings; and - The ability of TTR to contribute to eCom's future business strategies. While each member of eCom's board of directors individually considered The foregoing factors, the board of directors did not collectively assign any specific or relative weights to the factors considered and did not make any determination with respect to any individual factor. eCom's board of directors collectively made its determination with respect to the transaction based on the unanimous conclusion reached by its members, in light of the factors that each of them considered appropriate, that the transaction is in eCom's best interests and the best interests of its shareholders. CONSIDERATION FOR THE TRANSACTION The amount and form of consideration to be paid by eCom was determined through negotiations between management of eCom and TTR, and not by any outside negotiators or consultants. The decision to enter into the transaction was solely that of eCom's management and board of directors. The management of eCom has represented that such projections and pro forma combined information have been reasonably prepared on a basis reflecting management's best currently available estimates and judgment as to the future financial performance of eCom and the projected combined financial performance of eCom and TTR. EXCHANGE OF SHARES At the closing, (i) certain shareholders of TTR will receive a 4,800,000 shares of eCom common stock, such that after the transaction the TTR shareholders will beneficially own on a pro-rata basis approximately 17.3% of the common stock of eCom on a fully diluted basis. eCom will issue 4,800,000 shares of eCom common stock in exchange for 15% of TTR stock upon consummation of the transaction under the stock purchase agreement. There are only two (2) individuals from TTR who will be offering their stock to eCom. These two officers of the Company own ninety (90) percent of TTR, and they were the individuals who were part of the discussions. These two officers only are offering 15 percent of the ownership in TTR, which would come out of their holdings. In other words, these two officers who currently own 90 percent of TTR, with subsequently will own 75% of TTR following this proposed business transaction. The other ten (10) shareholders in TTR, would not offer any of their ownership, yet they would receive their pro-rata share in the combination, at closing. 29
S-4/A30th Page of 104TOC1stPreviousNextBottomJust 30th
eCom will not issue any certificates or scrip representing fractional shares of eCom common stock in the transaction. If a fractional share results from the application of the conversion ratio to the number of shares of TTR common stock owned, then, in lieu of any such fractional share, each holder of TTR common stock who otherwise would be entitled to receive a fractional share of eCom common stock in the exchange will receive a whole the closed whole share based on the pro-rata ownership of TTR. REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES In the stock purchase agreement, TTR makes certain representations and warranties to eCom regarding TTR, including, among others, as to: - their legal existence; - the authorization, execution, and enforceability of the stock purchase agreement and related agreements; - TTR's capital structure; - the accuracy of TTR's recent financial statements; - the absence of material litigation and undisclosed liabilities; - the absence of material adverse changes since June 30, 2001; - certain tax matters; - the absence of violations of material agreements; - intellectual property rights; - compliance with regulatory requirements; - the adequacy of insurance; - the need for third party consents to the transaction; and - certain employment matters. eCom makes substantially similar representations and warranties to TTR and its shareholders regarding eCom.

ACCOUNTING TREATMENT OF THE TRANSACTION The parties intend to account for the transaction as a purchase for accounting and financial reporting purposes under generally accepted accounting principles. Because of the treatment of the transaction as an partial acquisition, the financial statements of eCom will be the financial statements of the surviving corporation. Under the purchase method, 5 percent of TTR's results of operations will be included in eCom's results of operations from and after the closing of the transaction. For purposes of preparing eCom's results of operations, eCom will establish a new accounting basis for eCom's identifiable tangible and intangible assets and liabilities based upon the fair values thereof, and record goodwill for the difference between the purchase price, including the direct costs of the transaction, and the fair value of such net assets. A final determination of required purchase accounting adjustments and of the fair value of the assets and liabilities of TTR has not yet been made. Accordingly, the purchase accounting adjustments made in connection with the development of the comparative pro forma per share financial information appearing elsewhere in this Proxy Statement/Prospectus are preliminary and subject to change. CERTAIN TAX CONSEQUENCES There will be no tax consequences to the shareholders of eCom . The shareholders of TTR may be subject to certain tax consequences. TTR SHAREHOLDERS ARE URGED TO CONSULT THEIR OWN TAX ADVISORS AS TO THE CONSEQUENCES OF THE TRANSACTION, INCLUDING THE APPLICABLE TAX CONSEQUENCES TO THEM. 33

RISK FACTORS An investment in eCom common stock involves a high degree of risk. You should invest only after carefully considering the risks described below and elsewhere in this Proxy Statement/Prospectus and only if you can afford to lose your entire investment. References to "we," "our" and "us" refer to the consolidated company after the transaction with TTR. WE WILL NEED ADDITIONAL CAPITAL. We believe that existing cash held in the eCom's escrow account, will be sufficient to fund our possible capital expenditure, product development and working capital requirements for at least 6 months. Any significant change in our plans would require additional capital prior to that time. If additional capital is sought through a new line of credit, asset-based lending or the sale of equity, there can be no assurance that such capital will be available or available on terms favorable to us. The sale of equity interests would likely dilute the ownership of our shareholders. We anticipate raising additional funds through equity sales in the near future. WE HAVE INCURRED OPERATING LOSSES IN THE PAST AND EXPECT SUCH LOSSES TO CONTINUE. Through June 30, 2001, we incurred a net loss of $(39,818) for the first six months of this fiscal year. Since inception, we have an accumulated deficit of $(813,182) as of June 30, 2001. We expect operating losses to continue for the foreseeable future. WE ARE DEPENDENT UPON CERTAIN KEY PERSONNEL. We are highly dependent on a limited number of key management, including Ian Archibald, Laurie Bird Kitts and Brian Kitts. Our future success will depend, in part, on our ability to attract and retain highly qualified personnel. There can be no assurance that we will be successful in hiring or retaining qualified personnel. The loss of key personnel, or inability to hire and retain qualified personnel, could have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. We do not have key-person life insurance on any of our key personnel. 34

The Company now has an investment in ACS Sports.com, Inc. which partners with professional teams, leagues and sports-related organizations to design, build host and manage their "official" presence on the worldwide web. ACS Sport has already established itself as a market leader in this niche by developing partnerships with 11 domestic professional sports franchises across three sports, three regional sports media companies and two major professional leagues and is rapidly developing dominant positions in regional markets across the country and the world, networking geographically and/or affinity linked sports content. ACS Sports partners include the New York Yankees, New York Mets, Denver Broncos, Anaheim Might Ducks and Comcast Sportsnet. ACS Sports creates the leading interactive sports destinations for its properties by combining its proprietary online custom publishing system, community building and technology convergence with each property's unique content, established brand and fan base. ACS Sports is not focused on building its brand with consumers (Business-to- Consumer) but instead dedicated to providing an internet branding vehicle to sports teams and organizations (Business-to-Business). ACS Sports is committed to augmenting the brand power of its partner properties while remaining inconspicuous to the site traffic across its "invisible" network. All marketing costs to promote the site in the ACS network are borne by its partners as ACS Sports typically negotiates in its contracts with teams, leagues or media companies for the property to provide ACS Sports promotional "value-in-kind" services to generate interest in and drive consumer traffic to its "official" Website. In these arrangement, the team, league and/or broadcast partner guarantees certain promotion minimums with respect to various outlets, including: stadium signage, in-game billboards, TV & radio sports, print materials, and designated promotion game-days. The Company has 75 employees and has just completed the build-out of a state-of-the-art website. ACS Sports' predominant business is the creation and management of Websites for sports organizations. The Company has secured Website partnerships in four categories: team, league, regional sports portal, and specialty site. The ACS Sports property base currently comprises 11 team sites spanning three leagues, 2 individual league sites, 4 regional sports portals, and 1 specialty site. In forming the full-service, online conduit for teams to reach their fan bases, ACS Sports works with the teams to design, develop and maintain their sites. Once created, ACS Sports maintains each site through a dedicated, on-site staff composed of a Webmaster, multimedia producer, and a beatwriter that travels with the team. Subsequent Event ---------------- In early January, 2001, the Company entered into a agreement with CacheStream Corporation. The Company has forwarded to-date, $450,000 to CacheStream on a convertible note. On March 12, 2001, ECCM filed an Information Statement on Schedule 14f1 with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, and subsequently sent this statement out to its shareholders. This Information statement discusses the CacheStream agreement. 38

Upon completion, Mr. Ian Archibald, one of the Company's two current directors, would resign and be replaced by new directors designated by CacheStream. Mr. Brian Kitts, the one remaining current director of the Company, will continue to serve as a director of the Company with the Incoming Directors. Recent Event ------------ eCom has recently re-negotiated its agreement with CashStream Corporation. On or before June 15, 2001, eCom shall purchase $150,000 in Debentures from CashStream. These Debentures, together with any accrued interest of 8% per annum, shall be automatically converted into Common Stock of CashStream.

The warrants shall have a 3 year term and shall have piggyback registration rights. This common stock conversion, once completed, will represent for eCom approximately a ten percent ownership in CashStream. TRADEMARKS The Company regards substantial elements of its future and underlying infrastructure and technology as proprietary and attempts to protect them by relying on trademark, service mark, copyright and trade secret laws and restrictions on disclosure and transferring title and other methods. The Company plans to enter into confidentiality agreements with its future Employees and any future consultants and in connection with its license agreements with third parties and generally seeks to control access to its irrigation business and other proprietary information. Despite these precautions, it may be possible for a third party to copy or otherwise obtain and use the Company's proprietary information without authorization or to develop similar technology independently. Legal standards relating to the validity, enforceability and scope of protection of certain proprietary rights in irrigation businesses may be uncertain, and no assurance can be given as to the future viability or value of any of the Company's proprietary rights.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS FOR ECOM GENERAL eCom Corporation, is a developmental stage company whose original principal business objective was to provide reliable and cost efficient business Internet connectivity in the form of "website packages" for the business-to- business sector to use as rewards, coupons, or rebates. Although the Company's original business objective has not been completely abandoned, due to the struggle of Internet companies in the past year, the Company is currently assessing various options and strategies to become a profitable corporation. The original focus of the Company was to become a regional provider (Nevada initially) of Internet connectivity and enhanced Internet services to small and medium sized businesses. Key elements of the Company's strategy included: (i) consolidate the independent ISP industry in Nevada by acquiring additional local and regional ISPs focused on the Company's target market; (ii) integrate the operations of its ISPs focused on the operational economies of scale by leveraging its infrastructure and support services; (iii) develop and offer additional high-margin enhanced services to increase revenues from existing and future customers; and (iv) build customer loyalty and gain market share by expanding the Company's local technical, distribution and service capabilities and establishing eCom's regional brand name recognition. The Company hoped that its above products and services could blend into serving the web designer market. The Company was unable to develop a customer base, that would support continue to support the Company, as such it did not develop a web designer market. Based on adverse market conditions and the failure of many Internet "dot.com" companies, ECCM has reconsidered its original business plan, and is currently developing other business strategies. After the Company evaluated its market, particularly within the State of Nevada and Utah, it has recognized that the market has changed for its services, and based on adverse market conditions that Internet companies are struggling to remain going concerns, the Company is seeking new initiatives. Going Concern - The Company's financial statements are prepared using the generally accepted accounting principles applicable to a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and liquidation of liabilities in the normal course of business. However, the Company has not commenced its planned principal operations. Without realization of additional capital, it would be unlikely for the Company to continue as a going concern. The officers and directors are involved in other business activities and may, in the future become involved in other business opportunities. If a specific business opportunity becomes available, such persons may face a conflict in selecting between the Company and their other business interests. The Company has not formulated a policy for the resolution of such conflicts. 41

BUSINESS OF TTR HP MOTORSPORT MARINESPORT RACING LLC GENERAL TTR HP has been formed to develop, produce, and distribute a product line aimed at two consumer groups. (1) High performance and racing consumers, and (2) Fuel economy and improved performance consumers with stock and catalytic converter exhaust systems. TTR HP has completed the R&D engineering, prototypes of AEROTURBINE- mufflers, muffler trademark, and filed a US patent pending. The manufacturing facility has been set up and is ready for production and inventory. Management of the company believes they have identified a specific void in the market (high tech, high performance mufflers) and a consumer demand for a new revolutionary muffler product. TTR HP's marketing strategy for 2001 will emerge in three phases. Phase one will be the national AEROTURBINE- press release and the sponsoring of a snowmobile racing team. The media blitz will cover the AEROTURBINE( technology, the Polaris Exhaust System and the TTR 325 HP AEROTURBINE( RACING Package for the Dodge Cummins 24 valve Turbo Diesel. Phase two will consist of testing AEROTURBINE--technology in a totally controlled environment to develop consumer and institutional endorsements for it technical merits. AEROTURBINE--will be submitted for review by the following media groups: Four Wheel Drive (Turbo Diesel and Trucks), Hot Rod (high performance cars), Car & Driver (fuel economy and improved performance), and miscellaneous snowmobile, street bike, motocross, and marine publications. Phase three will be the national AEROTURBINE- MARINE press release and the sponsoring of a marine racing team. The media blitz will cover the AEROTURBINE--technology, and the TTR HP MARINE RACING Package for the V8 Mercruiser and OMC out drives. No technological muffler upgrades have been implemented to date. The fact that AEROTURBINE( is a revolutionary technology covering a wide spectrum will generate tremendous media interest and attention. The promotion agenda will focus on clothing and apparel in the racing look fashion, which is one of the fasted growing clothing fashions in the targeted consumer groups. The company has identified excellent high volume distribution channels and is contractually ready to sign up distributors. Some distributors are in negotiations at the present time. TTR HP's management team consists of the two founders, one VP of sales and marketing, and the other the VP of engineering and production. TTR HP is currently seeking an administrator and CFO, while seeking professionals in the motorsport and marinesport industries. The primary goal of this entity is to become profitable in its second year of operations and establish industry leadership in the motorsport and marinesport exhaust and high performance industries. PATENTS TTR HP has a US patent pending on the TTR HP AEROTURBINE -- Technology and plans on filing the same patent information under several foreign countries. 45

TTR HP TECHNOLOGIES TTR HP has a US patent pending; revolutionary high performance muffler technology. This technology is trade marked as AEROTURBINE( mufflers. AEROTURBINE--utilize vortex, aerofoil, induction, expansion, frequency resonation, cancellations, and velocity pressure transfer principals. AEROTURBINE--creates an airturbine effect inside the exhaust pipe; the motor frequency sounds turbo charged-even if it not. The sound is louder at idle, but as RPM increases the sound starts to dampen where you need it the most. Opposite of most mufflers on the market, the AEROTURBINE operates most efficient when the airflow, or RPM's increase-our technology helps to move exhaust, not restrict it. The ability to run high airflow, without power robbing restriction and backpressure, gives low and high-end torque, horsepower gains and overall high performance improvements. TRADEMARKS TTR HP has two US trademarks in the name of AEROTURBINE and TTR HP. These names will be used in all documents, promotional literature, and products associated with TTR HP. DEVELOPMENT COSTS TTR HP has spent over 15 months in research and development leading up the final AEROTURINE -- muffler design. Any and all expense incurred in the development and patent process have been paid. TTR HP is now past the development phase and is ready to move into full production. PACKAGE PRODUCTS TTR HP has engineered a complete AEROTURBINE -- Exhaust and Computer Module system for the DODGE CUMMINS 24 VALVE TURBO DIESEL and ISB CUMMINS commercial applications. The AEROTURBINE -- 5.0 TURBO DIESEL muffler produces a deep resonate "Big-Rig" sound with overall high performance. The POWER EDGE EZ Computer Module maximizes engine efficiency by monitoring the RPM, timing, turbo boost pressure and fueling parameters to determine both fueling and timing enhancements for the Bosch fuel injection pump, this provides an additional 65 rear wheel horsepower and adds 185 foot pounds of torque just from the Computer Module alone, add the AEROTURBINE--Exhaust system and synergistically increase Horsepower and Torque above the 65 HP and 185 lbs of torque. Simply plug one connector into the ECM (Engine Control Module) Data Link port and the other into the MAP sensor port. Plugging into the MAP sensor port, monitors critical operating parameters in real time data formats that pertain to instantaneous RPM, RPM rate of change (XY Axis), Turbo Boost Pressure with XY Axis, Timing with XY Axis, and Fueling with XY Axis.

The marketing plan is designed to penetrate the existing markets for new technology exhaust and hi-performance products. The major markets for TTR HP product line will be: 1) vehicles that utilize catalytic converters that would like to improve performance and fuel economy and 2) consumers that are looking to gain hi-performance out their vehicles (cars, boats, atvs, trucks, etc). These products will be marketed through the following channels: OEM Manufacturers Wholesale Distributors Automotive Manufactures Marine Manufactures Automotive Chain Stores Marine Aftermarket Stores EMPLOYEES As of June 30, 2001, TTR employed 4 employees. They include: a CEO and Director, a President, a Vice President, Marketing and Sales and a Vice President, Production and Manufacturing. There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to retain its key managerial and technical personnel or that it will be able to attract and retain additional highly qualified technical and managerial personnel in the future. The inability to attract and retain the technical and managerial personnel necessary to support the growth of the Company's business, due to, among other things, a large increase in the wages demanded by such personnel, could have a material adverse effect upon the Company's business, results of operations and financial condition. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS TTR is not a party to any material litigation and is not aware of any threatened litigation that would have a material adverse effect on its financial condition or results of operations. 49

DESCRIPTION OF ECOM CAPITAL STOCK GENERAL The Articles of Incorporation authorize the issuance of 80,000,000 shares of common stock, with $0.001 par value, and 5,000,000 preferred stock with $0.001 par value. COMMON STOCK General. As of September 30, 2001, 21,424,190 shares of common stock were issued and outstanding. No share of common stock is entitled to preference over any other share and each such share is equal to other shares of common stock in all respects. In any distribution of assets, whether voluntary or involuntary, holders of common stock are entitled to receive pro rata the assets remaining after creditors and holders, if any, of stock with a liquidation preference have been paid in full. Voting. Common shareholders are entitled to one vote for each share held of record on each matter submitted to a vote of the common shareholders. Dividends, Distributions and Redemptions. Subject to the preferential dividend rights of any subsequent classes or series of stock with such rights and preferences superior to the common stock as eCom's board of directors may designate, the common stock shareholders are entitled to receive dividends as and when declared by eCom's board of directors. However, dividends on eCom's common stock are not contemplated in the foreseeable future. Under the Nevada Business Corporation Act, eCom may declare and pay dividends on the common stock only if it will be able to pay its debts in the ordinary course of business after making the distribution. In addition, eCom's bank line of credit prohibits the payment of dividends without prior approval of the lender. If eCom were liquidated, its common shareholders would be entitled to receive, pro rata, all assets available for distribution to them after satisfaction of eCom's liabilities and any payment applicable to any preferred stock then outstanding. No Cumulative Voting. eCom's Articles of Incorporation provide that shareholders will not have cumulative voting rights in the electing of directors. Under cumulative voting, a shareholder could cast that number of votes in favor of one candidate or among several candidates equal to such shareholder's shares multiplied by the number of directors to be elected. Cumulative voting makes it possible for less than a majority of the shareholders to elect one or more members of the board of directors. Without cumulative voting, a majority of the voting power of the shareholders entitled to vote can elect the entire board of directors. 54
S-4/A54th Page of 104TOC1stPreviousNextBottomJust 54th
No Preemptive Rights. eCom's Articles of Incorporation provide that shareholders will not have any preemptive rights to subscribe for or purchase additional shares of capital stock. This means that eCom's shareholders will not be entitled to acquire a certain fraction of the unissued securities or rights to purchase eCom securities before eCom may offer them to other persons. Preemptive rights enable a shareholder to maintain the shareholder's proportional voting power and proportional rights to receive dividends and other distributions by eCom . LIMITATION OF DIRECTOR LIABILITY; INDEMNIFICATION Article XII of the Company's Articles of Incorporation for the Company do contain provisions for indemnification of the officers and directors; in addition, Section 78.751 of the Nevada General Corporation Laws provides as follows: 78.751 Indemnification of officers, directors, employees and agents; advance of expenses. 1) A corporation may indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, except an action by or in the right of the corporation, by reason of the fact that he is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, against expenses, including attorney's fees, judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by him in connection with the action, suitor proceeding if he acted in good faith and in a manner which he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe his conduct was unlawful. The termination of any action, suit or proceeding by judgment, order, settlement, conviction, or upon a plea of nolo contendere or its equivalent, does not, of itself, create a presumption that the person did not act in good faith and in a manner which he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation, and that, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, he had reasonable cause to believe that his conduct was unlawful. 2. A corporation may indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action or suit by or in the right of the corporation to procure a judgment in its favor by reason of the fact that he is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise against expenses, including amounts paid in settlement and attorneys' fees actually and reasonably incurred by him in connection with the defense or settlement of the action or suit if he acted in good faith and in a manner which he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation. Indemnification may not be made for any claim, issue or matter 55
S-4/A55th Page of 104TOC1stPreviousNextBottomJust 55th
as to which such a person has been adjudged by a court of competent jurisdiction, after exhaustion of all appeals therefrom, to be liable to the corporation or for amounts paid in settlement to the corporation, unless and only to the extent that the court in which the action or suit was brought or other court of competent jurisdiction determines upon application that in view of all the circumstances of the case, the person is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for such expenses as the court deems proper. 3. To the extent that a director, officer, employee or agent of a corporation has been successful on the merits or otherwise in defense of any action, suit or proceeding referred to in subsections 1 and 2, or in defense of any claim, issue or matter therein, he must be indemnified by the corporation against expenses, including attorneys' fees, actually and reasonably incurred by him n connection with the defense. 4. Any indemnification under subsections 1 and 2, unless ordered by a court or advanced pursuant to subsection 5, must be made by the corporation only as authorized in the specific case upon a determination that indemnification of the director, officer, employee or agent is proper in the circumstances. The determination must be made: (a) By the stockholders: (b) By the board of directors by majority vote of a quorum consisting of directors who were not parties to act, suit or proceeding; (c) If a majority vote of a quorum consisting of directors who were not parties to the act, suit or proceeding so orders, by independent legal counsel in a written opinion; or (d) If a quorum consisting of directors who were not parties to the act, suit or proceeding cannot to obtained, by independent legal counsel in a written opinion; or 5. The articles of incorporation, the bylaws or an agreement made by the corporation may provide that the expenses of officers and directors incurred in defending a civil or criminal, suit or proceeding must be paid by the corporation as they are incurred and in advance of the final disposition of the action, suit or proceeding, upon receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of the director or officer to repay the amount if it is ultimately determined by a court of competent jurisdiction that he is not entitled to be indemnified by corporation. The provisions of this subsection do not affect any rights to advancement of expenses to which corporate personnel other than the directors or officers may be entitled under any contract or otherwise by law. 6. The indemnification and advancement of expenses authorized in or ordered by a court pursuant to this section: (a) Does not exclude any other rights to which a person seeking indemnification or advancement of expenses may be entitled under the articles of incorporation or any bylaw, agreement, vote of stockholders or disinterested directors or otherwise, for either an action in his official capacity or an action in another capacity while holding his office, except that indemnification, unless ordered by a court pursuant to subsection 2 or for the advancement of expenses made pursuant to subsection 5, may not be made to or on behalf 56

of any director or officer if a final adjudication establishes that his act or omissions involved intentional misconduct, fraud or a knowing violation of the law and was material to the cause of action. (b) Continues for a person who has ceased to be a director, officer, employee or agent and endures to the benefit of the heirs, executors and administrators of such a person. Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the Registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the Registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the Registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the Registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the Registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue. 57

COMPARISON OF RIGHTS OF ECOM AND TTR Upon completing the transaction, TTR shareholders will become shareholders of eCom. Because TTR was organized as a limited liability company under the laws of the Utah and eCom was incorporated under the laws of the State of Nevada, the rights of eCom's shareholders under its Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws differ in certain respects from the rights of TTR's shareholders under its statutes, being the equivalent of articles of incorporation and bylaws. Certain significant differences between the rights of eCom shareholders and TTR shareholders are summarized below. This summary does not, however, purport to be a complete description of all of the differences between the rights of shareholders of TTR and the rights of shareholders of eCom . CLASSIFICATION, REMOVAL, AND NOMINATION OF DIRECTORS Classification. ecom's Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws do not classify its board of directors, and directors are elected each year for a one-year term. TTR statutes (articles of organization and bylaws) do not classify a term for its board of directors, or managing members. It being understood that directors may be renewed by the majority its members at it annual shareholders' meeting. Amendment of Provisions. eCom's Bylaws provide that eCom's board of directors has the power to make, alter, amend or rescind provisions of eCom's Bylaws, except for provisions fixing a quorum for meetings of shareholders and provisions regarding removal of directors or filling vacancies on the board. Provisions of the statutes (bylaws) of TTR may be amended or rescinded by a vote of 2/3 of its members attending or represented at extraordinary shareholders' meetings. Liability of Directors. eCom's Articles of Incorporation exempt Directors from personal liability to the corporation or its shareholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director to the full extent permitted by Nevada law. There is no similar with TTR. PREFERRED STOCK eCom has 5,000,000 authorized but unissued shares of undesignated stock. Under governing eCom's Articles of Incorporation, no action by its shareholders is necessary, and only action of the board of directors is required, to authorize the issuance of any of the undesignated stock. The board of directors is empowered to establish and to designate each class or series of the undesignated shares and to set the terms of such shares (including terms with respect to redemption, sinking fund, dividend, liquidation, preemptive, conversion and voting rights and preferences). Accordingly, the board of directors, without shareholder approval, may issue such undesignated shares in one or more series of 58
S-4/A58th Page of 104TOC1stPreviousNextBottomJust 58th
preferred stock having rights, preferences, privileges or restrictions, including voting rights, that may be greater than the rights of holders of common stock, provided, however, that the issuance of preferred stock is approved by a majority of eCcom's independent directors who do not have an interest in the transaction and who have access, at eCom's expense, to eCom's or independent legal counsel. It is not possible to state the actual effect of the issuance of any Shares of preferred stock upon the rights of holders of the common stock until the board of directors determines the specific rights of the holders of such preferred stock. However, the effects might include, among other things, restricting dividends on the common stock, diluting the voting power of the common stock, impairing the liquidation rights of the common stock and delaying or preventing a change in control of eCom without further action by the shareholders. eCom has no present plans to issue any shares of preferred stock. TTR, is a limited liability company, and its Articles or Organization did not authorize any preferred stock. VOTING RIGHTS; SHAREHOLDER APPROVALS Under eCom's Articles of Incorporation, holders of common stock are entitled to one vote per share on all matters submitted to a vote of the shareholders. eCom's Bylaws provide that, except as specifically required otherwise under eCom's Articles or Nevada law, all matters submitted to the shareholders are decided by a majority vote of the shares entitled to vote and represented at a meeting at which there is a quorum. eCom's Articles of Incorporation require approval by a majority of the shares entitled to vote to authorize a merger, exchange, sale of substantially all its assets, or a dissolution of eCom . Under the TTR statutes (bylaws) holders of common stock are entitled to one vote per share on all matters submitted to a vote of the shareholders. Except as specifically required otherwise under TTR statutes (bylaws), all matters submitted to the shareholders are decided by a majority vote of the shares entitled to vote and represented at a meeting at which there is a quorum. Quorum is one-third of the shares for the first notice and one-fourth for the second notice if needed because a quorum is not reached after the first notice. CUMULATIVE VOTING Neither eCom's nor TTR's governing documents provides for cumulative voting for holders of common stock. PREEMPTIVE RIGHTS Under eCom's and TTR's governing documents, holders of common stock are denied preemptive rights. 59
S-4/A59th Page of 104TOC1stPreviousNextBottomJust 59th
AMENDMENT OF THE ARTICLES OF INCORPORATION Under Nevada law, an amendment to the articles of incorporation requires the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the shares present and entitled to vote unless a larger affirmative vote is required by the corporation's articles. ecom's Articles of Incorporation do not contain any provisions that require a larger affirmative vote in order to amend its Articles of Incorporation. BUSINESS COMBINATIONS AND CONTROL SHARE ACQUISITIONS Nevada Anti-Takeover Provisions The anti-takeover provisions of Sections 78.411 through 78.445 of the Nevada Corporation Law apply to eCom. Section 78.438 of the Nevada law prohibits the Company from merging with or selling eCom or more than 5% of our assets or stock to any shareholder who owns or owned more than 10% of any stock or any entity related to a 10% shareholder for three years after the date on which the shareholder acquired the eCom shares, unless the transaction is approved by eCom's Board of Directors. The provisions also prohibit the Company from completing any of the transactions described in the preceding sentence with a 10% shareholder who has held the shares more than three years and its related entities unless the transaction is approved by our Board of Directors or a majority of our shares, other than shares owned by that 10% shareholder or any related entity. These provisions could delay, defer or prevent a change in control of eCom. 60

G. BRAD BECKSTEAD --------------------------- Certified Public Accountant 330 E. Warm Springs Las Vegas, NV 89119 702.528.1984 425.928.2877 (efax) INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANT'S REVIEW REPORT -------------------------------------- Board of Directors eCom Corporation (a Development Stage Company) Las Vegas, NV I have reviewed the accompanying balance sheet of eCom Corporation (a Nevada corporation) (a development stage company) as of September 30, 2001 and the related statements of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2001 and 2000 and for the period October 6, 1998 (Inception) to September 30, 2001, and statements of cash flows for the nine month period ending September 30, 2001 and 2000 and for the period October 6, 1998 (Inception) to September 30, 2001. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. I conducted my reviews in accordance with standards established by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants. A review of interim financial information consists principally of applying analytical procedures to financial data, and making inquiries of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters. It is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards, which will be performed for the full year with the objective of expressing an opinion regarding the financial statements taken as a whole. Accordingly, I do not express such an opinion. Based on my reviews, I am not aware of any material modifications that should be made to the accompanying financial statements referred to above for them to be in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles. The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 2 to the financial statements, the Company has had limited operations and has not commenced planned principal operations. This raises substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Management's plans in regard to these matters are also described in Note 2. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty. I have previously audited, in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards, the balance sheet of ECom Corporation (a development stage company) as of December 31, 2000, and the related statements of operations, stockholders' equity, and cash flows for the year then ended (not presented herein) and in my report dated March 29, 2001, I expressed an unqualified opinion on those financial statements. /s/ G.

eCom Corporation (a Development Stage Company) Notes Note 1 - Basis of Presentation The consolidated interim financial statements included herein, presented in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles and stated in US dollars, have been prepared by the Company, without audit, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Certain information and footnote disclosures ormally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations, although the Company believes that the disclosures are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. These statements reflect all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, which, in the opinion of management, are necessary for fair presentation of the information contained therein. It is suggested that these consolidated interim financial statements be read in conjunction with the financial statements of the Company for the year ended December 31, 2000 and notes thereto included in the Company's 10-KSB annual report. The Company follows the same accounting policies in the preparation of interim reports. Results of operations for the interim periods are not indicative of annual results. Note 2 - Going concern These consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles applicable to a going concern which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business. As at September 30, 2001, the Company has not recognized significant revenue to date and has accumulated operating losses of approximately $1,540,000 since inception. The Company's ability to continue as a going concern is contingent upon the successful completion of additional financing arrangements and its ability to achieve and maintain profitable operations. Management plans to raise equity capital to finance the operating and capital requirements of the Company. Amounts raised will be used to further development of the Company's products, to provide financing for marketing and promotion, to secure additional property and equipment, and for other working capital purposes. While the Company is expending its best efforts to achieve the above plans, there is no assurance that any such activity will generate funds that will be available for operations. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. These financial statements do not include any adjustments that might arise from this uncertainty.

PART II INFORMATION NOT REQUIRED IN PROSPECTUS ITEM 20. INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS. Section 78.751 of the Nevada General Corporation Laws provides as follows: 78.751 Indemnification of officers, directors, employees and agents; advance of expenses. 1) A corporation may indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, except an action by or in the right of the corporation, by reason of the fact that he is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, against expenses, including attorney's fees, judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by him in connection with the action, suitor proceeding if he acted in good faith and in a manner which he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe his conduct was unlawful. The termination of any action, suit or proceeding by judgment, order, settlement, conviction, or upon a plea of nolo contendere or its equivalent, does not, of itself, create a presumption that the person did not act in good faith and in a manner which he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation, and that, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, he had reasonable cause to believe that his conduct was unlawful. 2. A corporation may indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action or suit by or in the right of the corporation to procure a judgment in its favor by reason of the fact that he is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise against expenses, including amounts paid in settlement and attorneys' fees actually and reasonably incurred by him in connection with the defense or settlement of the action or suit if he acted in good faith and in a manner which he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation. Indemnification may not be made for any claim, issue or matter as to which such a person has been adjudged by a court of competent jurisdiction, after exhaustion of all appeals therefrom, to be liable to the corporation or for amounts paid in settlement to the corporation, unless and only to the extent that the court in which the action or suit was brought or other court of competent jurisdiction determines upon application that in view of all the circumstances of the case, the person is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for such expenses as the court deems proper. II-1

3. To the extent that a director, officer, employee or agent of a corporation has been successful on the merits or otherwise in defense of any action, suit or proceeding referred to in subsections 1 and 2, or in defense of any claim, issue or matter therein, he must be indemnified by the corporation against expenses, including attorneys' fees, actually and reasonably incurred by him n connection with the defense. 4. Any indemnification under subsections 1 and 2, unless ordered by a court or advanced pursuant to subsection 5, must be made by the corporation only as authorized in the specific case upon a determination that indemnification of the director, officer, employee or agent is proper in the circumstances. The determination must be made: (a) By the stockholders: (b) By the board of directors by majority vote of a quorum consisting of directors who were not parties to act, suit or proceeding; (c) If a majority vote of a quorum consisting of directors who were not parties to the act, suit or proceeding so orders, by independent legal counsel in a written opinion; or (d) If a quorum consisting of directors who were not parties to the act, suit or proceeding cannot to obtained, by independent legal counsel in a written opinion; or 5. The articles of incorporation, the bylaws or an agreement made by the corporation may provide that the expenses of officers and directors incurred in defending a civil or criminal, suit or proceeding must be paid by the corporation as they are incurred and in advance of the final disposition of the action, suit or proceeding, upon receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of the director or officer to repay the amount if it is ultimately determined by a court of competent jurisdiction that he is not entitled to be indemnified by corporation. The provisions of this subsection do not affect any rights to advancement of expenses to which corporate personnel other than the directors or officers may be entitled under any contract or otherwise by law. 6. The indemnification and advancement of expenses authorized in or ordered by a court pursuant to this section: (a) Does not exclude any other rights to which a person seeking indemnification or advancement of expenses may be entitled under the articles of incorporation or any bylaw, agreement, vote of stockholders or disinterested directors or otherwise, for either an action in his official capacity or an action in another capacity while holding his office, except that indemnification, unless ordered by a court pursuant to subsection 2 or for the advancement of expenses made pursuant to subsection 5, may not be made to or on behalf of any director or officer if a final adjudication establishes that his act or omissions involved intentional misconduct, fraud or a knowing violation of the law and was material to the cause of action. (b) Continues for a person who has ceased to be a director, officer, employee or agent and endures to the benefit of the heirs, executors and administrators of such a person. Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the Registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the Registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as II-2

expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the Registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the Registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the Registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
