INTRODUCTION

As used herein, except as the context otherwise requires, the term "Company" refers to Irutil Co. Inc., a corporation organized under the laws of the Commonwealth of the Bahamas.

The Company publishes its financial statements expressed in United States dollars. In this document, references to "US dollars" or "US$" are to the currency of the United States of America.

The Company=s fiscal year ends on December 31 of each year. References in this document to a particular year are to the fiscal year unless otherwise indicated.



ITEM 1. DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS.

General

Irutil Co. Inc. (the "Company"), is a start-up corporation which has not begun operations. The Company was organized under the laws of the Commonwealth of The Bahamas on September 8, 1995 as Southern Energy Co. Inc., and intends to engage in the business of generating electricity and distributing the same to rural or remote cities, villages, and towns initially in the Philippines. As of the date hereof, the Company does not generate or distribute any electricity to anyone and there is no assurance that the Company=s plans to generate and sell electricity to anyone will ever occur.

The Company=s Plan for Generating Electricity

The Company's intends to acquire small rural electric corporations ("RECS") located in the Philippine Islands and consolidate the same with other rural electric regional electric cooperatives, municipals, and distribution companies to form a larger entity. Currently, the Company has not acquired any electric corporations and there is no assurance that the Company will be able to acquire any entities. The Company has entered into a letter of intent with ESI E&C Co., Inc. ("ESI"), a corporation owned and controlled by David Atkinson, the Company=s President, to acquire one Philippine energy corporation.

The Company believes that by acquiring multiple energy corporations and consolidating the same, that it will (1) increase its purchasing power, (2) be able to attract financing, (3) attract a qualified work force, (4) be able to influence local, regional, and national government legislation, and (5) centralize cost structures in operations and administration, thereby decreasing the cost of operation while increasing revenue (6) operate the rural electric corporations more efficiently and profitably than the present government/cooperative structure.

Subsequent to making its initial acquisition, the Company intends to restructure, rehabilitate, and expand transmission, distribution, metering, and supervisory control and data acquisition system (ASCADA@) of the RECS franchise area to lower costs, expand service and increase reliability. The foregoing plans have led the Company to focus its business development efforts in regions of the world in which it already has local business relationships and where the opportunity exists to execute its strategy.

The Company has entered into a non-binding letter of intent with ESI to purchase its partnership interest in a partnership to be formed by Cotabato Electric Cooperative Inc., North Cotabato, Mindanao, Philippines, a REC ("Cotabato") and ESI. ESI is a corporation entirely owned by David Atkinson, the Company=s President. The partnership was formed for the purpose of designing, building, owing and operating the Kabacan 8MW mini-hydro project. As of the date hereof, the partnership has not been formed and there is no assurance the partnership will be formed in the future. Further, the Kabacan mini-hydro project has not been initiated and there is no assurance such project will ever be initiated. The letter of intent provides that the Company will:

a. Acquire ESI=s partnership interest in the partnership between Cotabato and ESI. Said 90% interest constitutes the entire ownership interest of ESI in the partnership.



b. Refinance the existing debt on the Cotabato balance sheet, and

c. Conduct due diligence over a period of the next 90 days

All of the material terms of a definitive agreement are yet to be negotiated and the letter of intent is not deemed to be a binding agreement.

In addition to its targeted electric distribution acquisition program, the Company also plans to strategically align itself with local electric production and generation plants to supply low cost electricity to the distribution companies, thereby lowering transmission costs currently incurred in moving electricity from large, remotely located central generating plants to the distribution companies. As of the date hereof, the Company has not strategically aligned itself with any plants and does not have adequate funds to develop any plants. Further, there is no assurance that the Company will ever develop or build any plants.

Because the Company=s initial target is located in the Philippine Islands, the Company intends to concentrate its efforts and programs in the Philippine Islands.

Overview of Philippine Electric Generation and Distribution

Electricity for Philippine distribution companies is typically provided through high-voltage transmission wires from central electric generation plants located throughout a particular region. Electricity generated from these plants is often located many miles from the distribution company, resulting in distribution losses from heat loss, inefficiencies, and theft. Currently, all parts of the Philippine system are regulated. However, to improve efficiencies and reduce government subsidization of the electric industry, national legislation is pending in the Philippine Islands that would deregulate parts of the system, allowing distribution companies to be owned and operated by non-regulated private and public companies. Specifically, the generating plants would be sold to and operated by third parties. Distribution companies would be privatized as well, leaving the transmission lines partially regulated.

Philippine Electric Industry

Currently, many electric distribution companies in the Philippine Islands operate in rural areas. The government has funded development of locally owned electric distribution networks to electrify isolated communities. The government's goal is to have electricity available to all citizens as soon as possible. To that end, the Philippine government has legislation pending to privatize the local government owned electric companies and to introduce new technologies and to create more efficient and cost effective systems that will allow RECS to continue to provide reliable electricity to citizens.

The Philippine government has called on RECS to form joint ventures with foreign firms engaged in power development and to seek nongovernment capital, expertise, and technology to reduce system losses and fund system expansion. In the Philippine Islands, over 100 RECS supply 97% of the country's 1,500 municipalities. The Company intends to initiate the acquisition of distribution companies as well as to strategically align itself to smaller power generation plants in order lower overall electric costs and provide more reliable and safe electricity to regional customers.



According to the undated Philippine Energy Plan (1999-2004), the country has 11,615 MW of installed, electric generating capacity, over 50% of which is owned by the state-owned National Power Corporation (NPC). Oil-fired power plants provided 47% of the power generated while hydro and geothermal plants provide 36%, and coal and gas-fired plants provided the remaining 17%. From 1992 to 1996, electric utilization increased 7% annually and is expected to increase 5.8% annually through 2010.

Currently, generation and transmission is owned and operated by NPC, while retail distribution is provided by 17 investor-owned utilities (IOU's), 119 rural electric cooperatives (RECs), and 4 municipal, city, and provincial distribution companies (MUNIs).

The Department of Energy (DOE) has overall responsibility for Philippine industry policy, planning, coordination, and non-price regulation. It assumes responsibility for (1) integrated power system planning; (2) setting and enforcing performance standards for independent power producers (IPPS), NPC and utility-owned generation; and (3) facilitating and encouraging investment in the power sector.

The Energy Regulatory Board (ERB) is a government agency whose primary goal is regulating the retail price of electricity. It has jurisdiction over the IOUs, RECs, and MUNIs. The NPC is not under the jurisdiction of ERB since the NPC rate is dictated by their contractual obligation with various independent power producers (IPPs) which account to about 50% of the total generation.

Certain Factors Affecting Industry

The Philippine electric distribution industry is highly capital intensive and the industry is becoming increasingly more competitive on a global basis. There are many competitors with more resources in terms of qualified personnel and capital funds than the Company. There can be no assurance that capital will be available to purchase the targeted assets, nor might there be capital available to maintain the assets. The Company is targeting international, Federal, and local banks to provide acquisition and growth capital.

Each Philippine Island REC has a monopoly or franchise for a given geographic area. REC electric prices are regulated and set by the ERB, therefore there is no direct competition from other distribution companies. However, distributed generation (electric generation on site by a REC customer) can result in the loss of electric sales from the REC. The distributed generation concept is just starting to take hold in developed countries and currently is more expensive than buying electricity from a local distribution company. Therefore, the Company does not expect significant, if any, loss of revenues from this potential competitive technology.

Contracts, Agreements and Understandings

The Company has entered into a non-binding memorandum of agreement with ESI to purchase up to 90% of a partnership interest to be formed between ESI and Cobato. ESI will own 90% of the partnership and Cotabato will own 10% of the partnership. The partnership was formed for the purpose of designing, building, owing and operating the Kabacan 8MW mini-hydro project. As of the date hereof, the partnership has not been formed and there is no assurance the partnership will be formed in the future. Further, the Kabacan mini-hydro project has not been initiated and there is no assurance such project



will ever be initiated. The Multilateral Investment Guarantee Agency (MIGA) has issued a preliminary guarantee for debt and equity totaling US$15 million. The Company plans to finalize the acquisition sometime in the year 2001.

Benefits Associated with the Philippines

The operating and business environment in the power industry of the Philippines has improved over the last few years and is expected to improve in the near future. The Philippine government is in the process of privatizing its power generation and distribution organizations to attract private capital for operating, upgrading, and expanding its power generators and grids. The government hopes that privatization will result in new management teams that will bring in innovative ideas learned from years of experience operating similar for-profit companies. These innovative ideas are expected to increase motivation of employees, improve morale, work attitudes, and standards while increasing and expanding system reliability and service to electric consumers at a lower cost.

By privatizing the power industry, the government hopes to reallocate its capital resources to those neglected sectors in greater need of capital and human resources.

Risks Associated with Philippines

The financial crisis that has swept across southeast Asia over the last two years has a forced its consumers to become cost conscious of energy consumption. Business globalization has forced some multinational companies to close offices and factories and to relocate in locations where labor and raw materials are relatively inexpensive.

This has resulted in decreased revenues for power companies including, the NPC. High incidence of power pilferage has also been reported as a result of the foregoing.

The Company believes that the benefits described above far outweigh the risks. There is no assurance, however, that one of the aforementioned risks will not cause the demise of the Company.

Selection of Target Areas for Acquisition

REC's and private utilities selected for acquisition are those that might benefit from professional management and that are Metro Manila, a potential growth area.

Evaluation Techniques

The Company will use a customized acquisition plan for each REC. For each REC acquisition, the approach will be similar, differing only in that one REC is different than another.

In general, the Company will evaluate an acquisition candidate on its cash flows and growth potential. Traditional corporate finance valuation analysis, such as discounted cash flows and comparable acquisitions, will be used in evaluating the cash flows and value of each REC. The current customer penetration, past historical profit growth rates, and potential future sales growth rates as well as the ability of the REC management to continue that growth are, among other things, are the key items to be evaluated by the Company in considering and acquisition of a particular REC.



Market for Electricity

The market for electricity production and transmission in the Philippine Islands is regulated. The overall market is mature and the Company will receive uniform price throughout the Philippines, which is approximately $0.072$/Kwhr.

Government incentives available in the Philippines

Currently, there are no government incentives to encourage REC

privatization. However, the government has mandated and is encouraging private companies to invest capital and form joint ventures with REC's to increase reliability and expand service to its consumers.

Philippine Economy

The United States Department of Commerce has identified the Philippines as one of the 10 "big emerging markets." The Philippines economy is experiencing its fastest growth since 1989. New monetary policies have resulted in two straight years of government surpluses and a reduction in foreign debt. The government is committed to eliminating its intervention in private business, and is instituting important market reforms, including import and foreign exchange liberalization, privatization, tax reform, and tariff restructuring. These reforms are enhancing competition and aiding the development of a capital markets industry.

The Philippines has an abundant English speaking workforce and skilled electrical engineers well-versed in U.S. technical standards, designs, and concepts.

Philippine Market Access

Beginning in 1991, the Philippines government launched several important measures to attract foreign investment. The 1991 Foreign Investment Act allows foreign equity in Filipino enterprises to exceed 40 percent as long as the company is not seeking investment incentives. A minimum paid-up capital of $200,000 is required for an enterprise to be more than 40 percent foreign-owned. Since 1992, the government has enacted foreign exchange liberalization and lifted Central Bank restrictions on peso borrowing for companies more that 40 percent foreign-owned. There are no restrictions on repatriation of



capital and profits. In 1995, the country officially joined the ranks of "Article VIII" International Monetary Fund members, indicating it is committed to an open and liberal foreign exchange and payments regime. Tariffs are being reduced on most industrial goods and the government plans to move toward a uniform tariff rate of five percent by 2004.

The Philippines is a member of the World Trade Organization (WTO) and the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN).

Philippine Energy Resources

The Philippine Islands are rich in fossil fuel and renewable energy resources, but lacks the financial resources with which to develop them. The country relies on oil imports - seven percent of total imports - for its energy needs. Currently, oil comprises 50 percent of installed capacity, hydro 30 percent, geothermal 14 percent, and coal 6 percent. The remainder comes from independent power producers under build-operate-transfer arrangements. (The Build-Operate-Transfer Law of 1990 permits private power generation).

Estimates show energy demand growing by 11.2 percent through 2005, necessitating 65,712 MW of additional capacity over the next 30 years. New regulations and restructuring of the energy sector is creating an environment more conducive to private power development and IPPs are expected to play a major role in future market development. The private sector could eventually generate up to 60 percent of output.

Philippine Electricity

The Philippines government is focusing on reducing oil imports for electricity generation and restructuring the power sector. The reliability of power supply remains a problem for much of the country, including Manila. At present, 65 percent of the country is electrified, but the Philippine Energy Plan anticipates increasing this rate to 96 percent by 2000.

Although its monopoly over power generation ended in 1995, the National Power Corporation (NPC), a state-owned utility, controls 79 percent of installed capacity. NPC sells electric power to private utilities, local governments, rural electric cooperatives, and industrial customers. It maintains a monopoly over transmission activities, but distribution is managed by local governments, utilities and cooperatives. The Manila Electric Rail and Light Company (MERALCO), a private utility, controls over half of the national power distribution market. The Cagayan Electric Power and Light Company (CEPALCO) controls power distribution for the Cagayan region in Mindanao. NPC is in the process of privatizing power generation facilities into 14 subsidiaries. The Omnibus Electric Power Industry Bill currently under consideration by the Philippines Congress will open the power industry to greater competition.

Major government institutions involved in the Philippines energy sector are the National Economic Development Authority (NEDA), the Department of Energy (DOE), the Electricity Regulatory Board (ERB), and the Philippines National Oil Company-Economic Development Authority. The NEA oversees power distribution and is primarily responsible for executing rural electrification programs on an area-coverage basis through 119 rural electric cooperatives, 17 privately-owned electric utilities, and eight local government-owned electric utilities. NEDA evaluates and approves power and energy development projects. The ERB is responsible for tariff-setting.



Energy Efficiency and Conservation

Chronic power shortages and brownouts since the early 1990s have cost the Philippines economy several billion dollars per year. In spite of this, energy conservation has not gained wide acceptance and has had little impact on significantly reducing energy consumption. This situation can be attributed mainly to inadequate energy conservation campaigns, energy tariffs that are too low to encourage efficiency, and a lack of incentives for promoting efficient energy use.

As a result, the Department of Energy has launched a major national energy conservation program, including education and training, industrial energy audits, technical and financial assistance, and promotion of energy efficient technologies. It has also ordered all utilities to develop demand-side management plans. The DSM program will include approximately 25-50 industrial pilot projects. Additionally, MERALCO is working with the U.S. Agency for International Development to design a voluntary program targeted at shopping malls with large electricity loads in the metro Manila area. Efficiency measures will include commercial air conditioning equipment, commercial control systems, energy services and energy consulting, high-efficiency motors and compressors, and cogeneration systems and design services.

Bahamian Government Regulation

The International Business Companies Act, 1989, as amended, is the main body of law governing international business companies in the Bahamas, such as the Company. The foregoing legislation covers matters such as directors= duties and responsibilities, preparation of accounts, auditor control, issue and transfer of shares, control of shareholders; meetings, rights of minority interest, amendments to capital structure, preparation and filing of public documents.

<R> Under the provisions of the foregoing Act, the direction, operation and policies of the Company are the responsibility of the board of directors. It is not necessary to prepare or file accounts or financial statements, however, the Company must keep such accounts and registers in order to reflect the financial status of the Company. There is no requirement that the Company prepare audited financial statements. Annual shareholders= meetings are not required, however, upon the written request of holders of 50% or more of the outstanding shares, the board of directors shall call an annual meeting. As such minority interests will be prevented from calling an annual meeting of shareholders. Copies of minutes of each shareholders= meeting and board meeting, together with a list of shareholders and a copy of Memorandum of Articles of Association must be maintained at the Company=s registered office. </R>

The Securities Industry Act, 1999, governs the offer or sale of securities in the Commonwealth of The Bahamas. Pursuant to Section 62 of the Securities Industry Act, 1999 of the Commonwealth of The Bahamas, the Company is deemed a "private company" as it has limited its beneficial ownership base to no more than 50 persons and has prohibited the offer of its shares to the public for subscriptions.

<R> Currently, the Company has fifty shareholders. The Company is obligated to monitor each transfer of securities to prevent the Company from having more than fifty shareholders. Accordingly, it is unlikely that a shareholder will be able to transfer his shares, unless he sells all of his shares to one person. This will result in the selling shareholder no longer being a shareholder, and the buying shareholder replacing the selling



shareholder. The fifty shareholder restriction is not contained in the articles of incorporation, but rather is a regulation contained in the Securities Industry Act, 1999. For the foregoing reason, liquidity of the Company=s shares could be adversely affected.

The Company intends to take steps to register as a public company under the Securities Industry Act, 1999, thereby eliminating the fifty shareholder limitation. There is no assurance, however, that such registration will ever take place, or if it does take place, that it will approved by the Securities Commission of The Bahamas.

U.S. investors may find it difficult to enforce civil liabilities under either U.S. or Bahamian securities laws. Bahamian courts will not give full faith and credit to judgments of any kind rendered in courts other than Bahamian courts. Further, Bahamian securities laws are relatively new, having been enacted in 1999, and accordingly there is little if any precedent for actions by investors under the Bahamian Industry Act, 1999.

Officers and directors fiduciary duties are similar to those in the United States. Liability for violations thereof are predicated upon common law actions for fraud of breach of fiduciary duty. </R>

Management and Employees

The Company is a development stage company and currently has no employees other than its Officers and Directors. The Company intends to hire additional employees as needed. The Company intends to require all of its officers, directors and other key employees to enter into non-competition agreements with terms of eighteen months to three years after termination of employment with the Company. There can be no assurance, however, that these agreements will provide meaningful protection for the Company's proprietary know-how or technology or adequate remedies in case of breach. No employment contracts have been executed by Mr. Atkinson, Mr. Riser, Mr. Darville or Ms. Green and there is not assurance that said persons will ever enter into employment agreements wit the Company.

Company=s Offices

The Company's offices are located at Brigadon House, P. O. Box EE17736, Nassau, Commonwealth of The Bahamas, and the telephone number is 242-324-3555. The Company leases its office space from ESI.

Risk Factors Associated with the Company

1. Company No History of Earnings. The Company has no operating history and is subject to all of the risks inherent in a developing business enterprise including lack of cash flow and service acceptance.

<R> 2. Going Concern Opinion. The Company=s auditor has issued a going concern opinion. This means that he believes that the Company does not have adequate capital to maintain operations during the next twelve months. If the Company does not generate revenues or obtain additional capital of its operations during the next twelve months, it will have to suspend or cease operations until such time as additional capital has been obtained for operations. </R>



3. Development and Market Acceptance of Services. The Company=s success and growth will depend upon the Company=s ability to acquire rural electric companies and market its services. The Company=s success will depend in part upon the market=s acceptance of, and the Company=s ability to deliver and support its electric services.

4. Liquidity; Need for Additional Financing. The Company believes that it does not have the cash it needs for at least the next twelve months based upon its internally prepared budget. Further, the Company=s cash requirements are not easily predictable and there is a possibility that its budget estimates will prove to be inaccurate. If the Company is unable to generate a positive cash flow, it will be required to curtail operations substantially and seek additional capital. There is no assurance that the Company will be able to obtain additional capital if required, or if capital is available, to obtain it on terms favorable to the Company. The Company may suffer from a lack of liquidity in the future which could impair its short-term marketing and sales efforts and adversely affect its results of operations.

5. Foreign Operations Risks. The Company=s principal business operations will be located on the Philippine Islands. The Company will be subject to Philippine taxation, business licensing and other areas may be different from those typically encountered in the United States or Bahamas. Although management intends to ensure that all agreements, permits, licenses and/or regulatory approvals are adequately addressed and followed, there can be no assurance that the regulatory climate in the future in Philippines will not change in a materially negative way for the Company.

<R> 6. Political Unrest and Uncertainty. The Philippine Islands are currently subject to violent activities conducted by political dissidents. The unrest is expected to continue in the future. The Company believes that the current level of political unrest will not have any adverse affect upon the Company, but should the political unrest escalate, it could in the future adversely impact the Company=s operations or cause a complete cessation of operations in the Philippine Islands.

7. Difficulty in Enforcing Civil Liabilities under either U.S. or Bahamian securities laws. U.S. investors may find it difficult to enforce civil liabilities under either U.S. or Bahamian securities laws. Bahamian courts will not give full faith and credit to judgments of any kind rendered in courts other than Bahamian courts. Further, Bahamian securities laws are relatively new, having been enacted in 1999, and accordingly there is little if any precedent for actions by investors under the Bahamian Industry Act, 1999. </R>

8. Competition. Most of the Company=s competitors have substantially greater financial, technical and marketing resources than the Company. In addition, the Company=s services compete indirectly with all other forms of energy delivery.

9. Reliance Upon Directors and Officers. The Company is wholly dependent, at the present, upon the personal efforts and abilities of its Officers and Directors, who exercise control over the day to day affairs of the Company.



10. Issuance of Additional Shares. The Company is authorized to issue 100,000,000 ordinary shares. 3,000,000 ordinary shares are currently issued and outstanding. 97,000,000 or 97% of the 100,000,000 ordinary shares are unissued. The Board of Directors has the power to issue such shares. Although the Company presently has no commitments or contracts to issue any additional shares to other persons. The Company may in the future attempt to issue shares to acquire products, equipment or properties, or for other corporate purposes. Any additional issuance by the Company, from its authorized but unissued shares, would have the effect of diluting the interest of existing shareholders.

11. Indemnification of Officers and Directors for Securities Liabilities. The laws of the Commonwealth of The Bahamas provides that the Company could indemnify any Director, Officer, agent and/or employee as to those liabilities and on those terms and conditions as are specified in the International Business Companies Act, as amended, of the Commonwealth of The Bahamas. Further, the Company may purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of any such persons whether or not the corporation would have the power to indemnify such person against the liability insured against. The foregoing could result in substantial expenditures by the Company and prevent any recovery from such Officers, Directors, agents and employees for losses incurred by the Company as a result of their actions. Further, the Company has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission, indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and is, therefore, unenforceable.

12. Cumulative Voting, Preemptive Rights and Control. There are no preemptive rights in connection with the Company=s Common Stock. Shareholders may be further diluted in their percentage ownership of the Company in the event additional shares are issued by the Company in the future. Cumulative voting in the election of Directors is not provided for. Accordingly, the holders of a majority of the shares of Common Stock, present in person or by proxy, will be able to elect all of the Company=s Board of Directors.

13. No Dividends Anticipated. At the present time the Company does not anticipate paying dividends, cash or otherwise, on its Common Stock in the foreseeable future. Future dividends will depend on earnings, if any, of the Company, its financial requirements and other factors.

 

ITEM 2. DESCRIPTION OF PROPERTY.

Currently the Company does not own any property. The Company=s offices are located at Brigadoon House, P. O. Box EE17736, Nassau, Bahamas The Company leases the foregoing offices from ESI owned and controlled by David Atkinson, the Company=s President, pursuant to the terms of a written lease agreement. The term of the lease is monthly with monthly rental payments of $2,500 per month. The term of the lease is from month-to-month.

No market exists for the Company=s securities and there is no assurance that a regular trading market will develop, or if developed, that it will be sustainable. A shareholder in all likelihood, therefore, will be unable to resell the securities referred to herein should he or she desire to do so. Furthermore, it is unlikely that a lending institution will accept the Company=s securities as pledged collateral for loans unless a regular trading market develops.



There are no plans, proposals, arrangements or understandings with any person with regard to the development of a trading market in any of the Company=s securities. On January 4, 1999, the NASD amended its rules regarding listing of securities for trading on the Bulletin Board which it operates. Effective January 4, 1999, securities of corporations will not be listed for trading on the Bulletin Board unless the corporation files reports pursuant to Section 13 or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Accordingly, the Company=s common stock will not be listed for trading on the Bulletin Board until such time as this registration statement is declared effective by operation of law and the Company has satisfied all outstanding comments issued by the Securities and Exchange Commission.

As of August 1, 2000, the Company had 42 holders of record of its Ordinary Shares. Currently, there are two U.S. shareholders of the Company=s Ordinary Shares.

The Company has not paid any dividends since it is inception and does not anticipate paying any dividends on its Ordinary Shares in the foreseeable future.

 

ITEM 6. EXCHANGE CONTROLS AND OTHER LIMITATIONS AFFECTING SECURITY HOLDERS.

There are no exchange controls or other limitations which effect security holders other than the shares of common stock issued to Mr. Riser and Ms. Green are "restricted securities" as that term is defined in Reg. 144 of the Securities Act of 1933 (the "Act") and may only be resold in compliance with Reg. 144 of the Act.

In general, under Reg. 144, an affiliate of the Company (officers, directors, and owners of more than ten percent (10%) of the outstanding shares of Common Stock are affiliates of the Company) may sell in ordinary market transactions through a broker or with a market maker, within any three (3) month period a number of shares which does not exceed the greater of one percent (1%) of the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock or the average of the weekly trading volume of the Common Stock during the four calendar weeks prior to such sale. Sales under Reg. 144 require the filing of Form 144 with the Securities and Exchange Commission. If the shares of Common Stock have been held for more than two (2) years by a person who is not an affiliate, there is no limitation on the manner of sale or the volume of shares that may be sold and no Form 144 is required. Sales under Reg. 144 may have a depressive effect on the market price of the Company=s Common Stock.



ITEM 7. TAXATION.

The following discussion summarizes certain US federal and Bahamian tax consequences of the ownership of Shares by a person ("US Portfolio Stockholder") that: (i) is a citizen or resident of the US, a US corporation or that otherwise will be subject to US federal income tax on a net income basis in respect of the Shares; (ii) is not deemed a resident of Commonwealth of The Bahamas for exchange control purposes by the Central Bank of the Commonwealth of The Bahamas; (iii) has not, within the preceding five years, beneficially owned 10% of the issued capital or voting stock in the Company; and, (iv) has not used the Shares in carrying on a trade or business, wholly or partly through a permanent establishment in Commonwealth of The Bahamas.

The statements regarding US and Bahamian tax laws set forth herein are based on those laws as in force on the date of this document that may affect the tax consequence described herein (some of which may have retroactive effect). This summary is not exhaustive of all possible tax consideration and investors are advised to satisfy themselves as to the overall tax consequences, including specifically the consequences under US, state, local and other laws, of the acquisition, ownership and disposition of Shares by consulting their own tax advisers.

Taxation of Gains on Sale

A US Portfolio Stockholder is not subject to Bahamian income tax on the sale of its Ordinary Shares in the Company.

Passive Foreign Investment Company Status

A foreign corporation is classified as a passive foreign investment company (a "PFIC") in any taxable year in which, after taking into account the income and assets of certain subsidiaries pursuant to the applicable US Internal Revenue Code "look-through" rules, either (i) at least 75% of its gross income is passive income, or (ii) at least 50% of the average value of its assets is attributable to assets that produce passive income from cash holdings and profits from the sale of marketable securities, even if derived from an active business.

If the Company were a PFIC during any year in which a US Portfolio Stockholder owned Shares, that US Portfolio Stockholder would be subject to additional taxes on any gain realized from the sale or any other disposition of the Shares, or any excess distribution received from the Company.

A US Portfolio Stockholder will have an excess distribution to the extent that distributions on Shares during a taxable year exceeded 125% of the average amount received during the three preceding taxable years (or, if shorter, the US Portfolio Stockholders= holding period for the Shares). To compute the tax on gain or on an excess distribution, (i) the excess distribution or the gain is allocated ratably over the US Portfolio Stockholder=s holding period for the Shares, (ii) the amount allocated to the current taxable year at the highest applicable marginal rate in effect for each year and an interest charge is imposed to recover the deemed benefit from the deferred payment of the tax attributable to each year.



If the Company is a PFIC, US persons that own an interest in another entity that owns shares in the Company may be treated as indirect holders of their proportionate share of that entity=s Shares, and may be taxed on their proportional share of any gain or excess distribution from that entity attributable to the entity=s in the Company. A US person that owns an interest in the entity that is an actual holder of Shares will be treated as an indirect holder if (i) the actual holder is itself a PFIC, (ii) the actual holder is a foreign corporation other than a PFIC in which the US person who owns an interest in the actual holder owns (directly or indirectly) at least 50% in value of the actual holder=s shares, or (iii) the actual holder is a partnership, trust or estate in which the US Portfolio Stockholder is a partner or beneficiary. An indirect holder must take into income its portion of any excess distribution received by the actual holder or any gain recognized by the actual holder on the Shares. An indirect holder also must treat an appropriate portion of its gain on the sale or disproportion of its interest in the actual holder as gain on the sale of the Shares. If the Company were a PFIC, a US Portfolio Stockholder of Shares would generally be subject to similar rules with respect to distribution by, and dispositions of the shares of, any direct or indirect subsidiaries of the Company that were PFICs.

The Internal Revenue Code provides each US stockholder in an PFIC with an election whereby the additional US tax burden imposed on gain on sale of PFIC stock and receipt of excess distributions from a PFIC, as described above, can be avoided. This election generally requires that the PFIC stockholder include in its income, its pro-rata share of the PFIC=s distributed and undistributed income, as computed under US tax accounting principles, on an current basis. In certain cases, a further election is available to an electing PFIC stockholder to defer the tax payable with respect to the stockholder=s pro-rata share of the PFIC=s undistributed income, although in this case interest applies on the deferred tax. Thus, even if the first or both of these elections are made, a US stockholder of a PFIC loses the tax benefit, which is available with respect to investment in a non-PFIC corporation, of deferring and converting to capital gain the investor=s personal US tax liability with respect to the Company=s undistributed income. These elections also generally require that the PFIC annually provide the electing PFIC shareholder, for inspecting by the Internal Revenue Service, an analysis of the PFIC=s income computed under US tax accounting principals. The Company does not intend to furnish any US Portfolio Stockholder with the information that it would need in order to avoid the PFIC tax treatment described by electing to include its share of the Company=s income on a current basis. There, these election will not be available to the Company=s US Portfolio Stockholders.

There are other adverse US tax rules associated with holding Shares in a company that has been a PFIC during any part of a US Portfolio Stockholders holding period. These include a denial of a step-up in a tax basis on the death of a US individual stockholder, and burdensome reporting requirements.

If the Company ceases to be a PFIC, a US Portfolio Stockholder may avoid the contained application of the tax treatment described above by electing to be treated as if it sold its Shares on the last day of the last taxable year in which the Company was a PFIC. Any gain is recognized and subjected to tax under the rules described above. Loss is not recognized. The US Portfolio Stockholder=s basis in the Shares is increased by the amount of gain recognized on the deemed sale. This election is not available to a US Portfolio Stockholder that previously elected to include its share of the Company=s income on a current basis. The US Congress recently has considered legislation that would alter the PFIC rules substantially. Prospective investors should consult their own tax advisors as to the potential application of the PFIC rules, as well as, the impact of any proposed legislation that could affect them.



The Company has generated sufficient income and assets during 1995 and 1996 not to be deemed a PFIC.

Taxation of Dividends.

The Company does not expect to pay cash dividends for the foreseeable future, but, rather, to retain earnings to finance expansion of the business. Should the Company begin paying dividends, however, the Company=s dividends to its US Portfolio Stockholders would be exempt from Bahamian tax. The overall limitation on non-US taxes eligible for US credit is calculated separately with respect to specific classes, or "baskets" of income. For this purpose, dividends distributed by the Company will generally constitute "passive income" or, in the case of certain US Portfolio Stockholder, "financial service income." The US tax credits allowable with respect to each income basket cannot exceed the US federal income tax payable with respect to such income. The consequences of the separate limitation calculation will depend on the nature and sources of each US Portfolio Stockholder=s income and the deductions allocable thereto.

Distributions on the Shares will constitute dividends for US Federal income tax purposes to the extent paid out of current or accumulated earnings and profits of the Company, as determined for US federal income tax purposes. If the Company pays a dividend, such dividend would likely be paid in U.S. dollars. The amount of dividend income for a US Portfolio Stockholder will be the US dollar value of the dividend income for a US Portfolio Stockholder will be the US dollar value of the dividend payment on the date of receipt, even if the dividend is not converted into US dollars. Dividends paid by the Company will not be eligible for the "inter-corporate dividends received" deduction allowed to US corporations.

Estate and Gift Tax

The Commonwealth of The Bahamas does not impose any estate, inheritance or gift taxes. Therefore, no Bahamian estate tax, inheritance tax or gift tax will be imposed on the death or upon a lifetime gift by, a US Portfolio Stockholder.

ITEM 9. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS.

The Company has inadequate cash to maintain operations during the next twelve months. In order to meet its cash requirements the Company will have to raise additional capital through the sale of securities or loans. As of the date hereof, the Company has not made sales of additional securities and there is no assurance that it will be able to raise additional capital through the sale of securities in the future. Further, the Company has not initiated any negotiations for loans to the Company and there is no assurance that the Company will be able to raise additional capital in the future through loans. In the event that the Company is unable to raise additional capital, it may have to suspend or cease operations.

The Company does not intend to conduct any research or development of its services during the next twelve months other than as described herein.



The Company does not intend to purchase a plant or significant equipment, however, the Company does intend to acquire an interest in other corporations that do own substantial assets.

The Company will hire employees on an as needed basis, however, the Company does not expect any significant changes in the number of employees.

The Company expects to earn revenues in the fourth quarter of 2000. There is no assurance, however, that the Company will earn said revenues as planned.

Inflationary and Other Economic Pressures

The Company is not currently generating revenues from sale of electricity. Future revenues in this segment are governed primarily by worldwide commodity pricing. No immediate effect in respect to inflation and changes on prices is realized. However inflationary pressures effect the Company=s development expenditure. The directors estimation of inflation is considered in regards to the general state of the world economy of the Philippines in particular. This exposure to inflationary pressure is dependent on the mix of goods and services provided to the Company by suppliers, source internally in Philippines and externally. At this stage the Company is unable to quantify the mix of inflationary pressures from different sources that will effect the supply of goods and services to the Company.

Government Policies

The Company has considered the issued of political risk in the Philippines in which the Company is acquiring assets and will continue to do so as a matter of normal business practice. The Company=s expects the initial energy acquisitions will be located in the Philippine Islands and there has been a long established energy industry, with significant elements of foreign capital investments and no history of expropriation.

The Philippine Islands is a separate national state and like many other national states regulates controls and taxes activities conducted by residents and non-residents in the county and the flow of investment into the country and the return of capital out of the country. All of these controls and regulations are subject to change from time to time. Some of the interests of the Company are subject to the laws of the Philippine Islands. These contracts are subject to controls and regulations by the contracting parties and by the government of the Philippine Islands. These factors, in addition to the usual risks and the economic and political stability of the host country, Philippine Islands must all be taken into account in relation to the Company=s operations in the Philippine Islands.

Other than the effect of the Philippine Islands Economic Fiscal Monetary or Political Policies or Factors upon the operations of the Company these policies or factors do not effect investments by United States Nationals in Ordinary Shares of the Company.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS= REPORT

To the Stockholders
Irutil Co., Inc.
Nassau, Bahamas

We have audited the accompanying balance sheet of Irutil Co., Inc. (a development stage company) at 31st of December 1999 and the related statements of operations, changes in stockholders= equity and cash flows for the year ended 31st of December 1999 and for the period from inception (8th of September 1995) to 31st of December 1999. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company=s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.

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 an audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, these financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company at 31st of December 1999 and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the year ended 31st of December 1999 and for the period from inception (8th of September 1995) to 31st of December 1999, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 5 to the financial statements, the Company has sustained operating losses and negative cash flows from operations since inception. In the absence of achieving profitable operations and positive cash flows from operations or obtaining debt or equity financing, the Company may have difficulty meeting current obligations. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company=s ability to continue as a going concern. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of these uncertainties.

IRUTIL CO., INC.
(A DEVELOPMENT STAGE COMPANY)
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE 1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Organization and Business Activity

Irutil Co., Inc. (the Company) was incorporated under the laws of The Commonwealth of the Bahamas ("Bahamas") on 8th of September 1995 as The Southern Energy Co. Inc., and subsequently on the 5th of July 1999, changed its name to Irutil Co., Inc. The Company proposes to acquire, develop and operate rural utilities in the Philippines, but, notwithstanding its 8th of September 1995 inception date, did not actually commence its development activities until October 1999. There were no transactions until 5th of October 1999.

The Company is a development stage company as planned operations have not commenced. The accompanying financial statements represent those of a development stage company.

Cash and Concentration of Credit Risk

Cash in bank of $112,480 is held in a non-interest bearing demand account in the Bahamas, is not subject to United States FDIC insurance and is subject to the inherent credit risks of that country.

Income and Revenue Taxes

The Company is not subject to income or revenue taxes in The Commonwealth of the Bahamas.

Translation of Accounts to U.S. Dollars

As the functional currency is the U.S. Dollar, all of the Company=s accounts are translated from Bahamian dollars to U.S. Dollars in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards #52. This requires that all monetary assets and liabilities are to be translated at the spot rate, all non-monetary assets and liabilities be translated at historical rates, and the operating results are to be translated at an average rate for the period. Any translation gain or loss is recognized currently. For the year ended 31st of December 1999 and for the period from inception (8th of September 1995) through 31st of December 1999, the Company did not incur any translation gain or loss.

Use of Estimates in the Preparation of Financial Statements

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

NOTE 1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

Interim Financial Data

The interim financial statements for the nine months ended 30th September 2000 are unaudited and omit certain financial statement disclosures. In the opinion of the management, the accompanying unaudited financial statements contain all adjustments (consisting of only normal, recurring adjustments) necessary to present fairly the financial position of the Company as of 30th September 2000 and the results of its operations and cash flows for the nine month periods ended 30th September 2000 are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations and cash flows which may be reported for the remainder of 2000.

NOTE 2. DUE TO STOCKHOLDER

Amount due to stockholder of $21,644 is non-interest bearing, is due on demand and was used to reimburse professional fees paid in 1999.

NOTE 3. RELATED PARTY

The Company leases office space on a month to month basis from a party related by virtue of common ownership. Total payments for the year ended the 31st December 1999 and for the period from inception (8th September 1999) to 31st December 1999 were $7,500.

NOTE 4. STOCKHOLDERS= EQUITY

The financial statements reflect the effect of a recapitalization in 1999 that had the effect of a 20 for 1 forward stock spilt.

NOTE 5. GOING CONCERN

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles, which contemplate continuation of the Company as a going concern. The Company has incurred significant operating losses and negative cash flows from operations since inception.

The Company=s ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon achieving profitable operations and positive cash flows from operations or obtaining debt or equity financing. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company=s ability to continue as a going concern. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of these uncertainties.

Management is attempting to raise additional capital of up to $500,000 on a best efforts basis, which will assist the Company in funding operations and provide the opportunity for the Company to continue as a going concern. Management believes it will be successful in raising capital sufficient to continue operations.
