MARGO CARIBE, INC.

MERGER PROPOSAL--YOUR VOTE IS VERY IMPORTANT

        The board of directors of Margo Caribe, Inc. has approved transactions
that will result in:                                                            

       o        the sale of Margo's existing nursery and other subsidiaries;

    o        the merger of Margo with and into a newly formed Delaware
                  corporation named "iTract, Inc." that will be headquartered in
New York, New York; and                     

       o        the merger of a wholly-owned subsidiary of iTract, Inc. with
               and into itract, LLC, a privately held early-stage Internet
               based company organized to build a system designed to allow
              its users to develop and launch direct marketing campaigns
                  using e-mail, fax and postal mail simultaneously from a user's
personal computer.                          

      If both mergers are completed, Margo's shareholders will receive one
share of iTract, Inc. common stock for each share of Margo common stock. iTract,
Inc. will issue 12,680,057 shares of common stock to members of itract, LLC as a
result of the itract, LLC merger. Upon completion of both mergers, on a fully   
diluted basis, Margo's shareholders will own 13.2% of iTract, Inc. and itract,  
LLC members will own 86.8% of iTract, Inc. and itract, LLC will be a            
wholly-owned subsidiary of iTract, Inc.                                         

         We are asking the Margo shareholders to approve the merger with iTract,
Inc. and the sale of Margo's existing nursery and other subsidiaries. In        
addition, Margo is asking its shareholders to vote on the election of directors.
Margo's annual meeting will be held:                                            

______________, 2000
10:00 a.m.
 The Bankers Club of Puerto Rico
Banco Popular Center
 209 Munoz Rivera Avenue
 San Juan, Puerto Rico

      We cannot complete the transactions unless the shareholders of Margo
approve and adopt the merger agreement with iTract, Inc. and the sale of Margo's
existing nursery and other subsidiaries . Michael J. Spector, the Chairman of   
the Board, Chief Executive Officer and President of Margo, and Margaret D.      
Spector, the Secretary of Margo, who hold approximately 65.7% of the outstanding
Margo common stock, have agreed to vote all of their shares of Margo common     
stock in favor of the proposed transactions.                                    

We believe the proposed transactions will offer us significant
opportunities to create shareholder value.                                      

                      MICHAEL J. SPECTOR

 QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS ABOUT

 THE TRANSACTION

Q:       Why is Margo proposing these transactions?                             

A:       Margo believes that the consummation of these transactions presents an 
    opportunity for Margo's shareholders to participate in an Internet
        based company that is developing a system that will allow companies to
        direct market their products and services in a more efficient and cost
         effective manner. The mergers will afford itract access to Margo's cash
obtained from the sale of Margo's existing nursery and other  
   subsidiaries. To review Margo's reasons for the merger in greater
detail, see pages 26 to 28.                                   

Q:       Why is Margo proposing to merge with Holdings, a new Delaware          
corporation, prior to the merger with itract?                 

A:       Since Margo is a Puerto Rico corporation, a merger of Margo or a       
    subsidiary of Margo with and into itract would have been a taxable
     transaction to itract's members for federal income tax purposes. By
         first merging Margo with and into itract, Inc., a Delaware corporation,
     the merger of a subsidiary of Holdings with and into itract will be
       tax-exempt to itract's members for federal income tax purposes to the
         extent that they are transferring property to Holdings for stock. Also,
     Delaware is one of the preferred jurisdictions for public companies
   because of its established body of corporate law. Thus, Margo and
   itract believe that being organized as a Delaware corporation may
         facilitate Holdings' ability to obtain debt and equity financing in the
future.                                                       

Q:       Will the mergers with Holdings and itract have any effect on the       
currently outstanding shares of Margo?                        

A:       Yes. Following Margo's merger with Holdings, Margo's shareholders will 
       receive one share of common stock of Holdings for each share of Margo
        common stock. The merger of the subsidiary of Holdings into itract and
        the issuance of the Holdings common stock to itract's members will not
    have any effect on the shares of Holdings common stock received by
   Margo shareholders in the reincorporation merger, except that the
number of outstanding shares of Holdings will increase from   
        approximately 2.0 million shares to approximately 15.2 million shares.
     Following the completion of both mergers, on a fully diluted basis,
      Margo's shareholders will own 13.2% of Holdings and itract's members
       will own 86.8% of Holdings. Following the transactions, Holdings will
   be a holding company whose sole asset will be its 100% membership
interest in itract.                                           

Q:       Why is Margo proposing to sell its nursery and other subsidiaries?     

A:       The sale of Margo's nursery and other subsidiaries is a condition to   
the obligation of itract to consummate the itract merger.     

Q:       Who needs to approve the reincorporation merger and the sale of Margo's
businesses?                                                   

A:       Holders of a majority of Margo's outstanding common stock need to      
     approve the proposed reincorporation merger and the sale of Margo's
  nursery operations and other businesses. Michael J. Spector, the
        Chairman of the Board, Chief Executive Officer and President of Margo,
    and Margaret D. Spector, the Secretary of Margo, who together hold
       65.7% of the outstanding shares of Margo common stock, have agreed to
         vote all of their shares of Margo common stock in favor of the proposed
transactions.                                                 

Q:       What does a holder of Margo common stock need to do now?               

A:       After reading this proxy statement/prospectus, such holders need to    
     indicate on their proxy card how they want to vote their shares and
        sign and mail the completed proxy card in the enclosed return envelope
       as soon as possible so that their shares can be represented and voted
at the Margo annual meeting.                                  

Q:       If you own shares of Margo common stock held in "street name" by a     
broker, can that broker vote those shares for you?            

A:       A broker that holds shares of Margo common stock will not be able to   
     vote those shares without instructions from the beneficial owner of
those shares. Therefore, owners of Margo

 common stock should instruct their broker to vote their shares,
following the procedure provided by their brokers.            

Q:       Can a holder of Margo common stock change its vote after signing the   
proxy card?                                                   

A:       Yes. Holders of Margo common stock can change their vote at any time   
     before their proxy card is voted at the annual meeting. This can be
        done in one of three ways. First, holders may send a written notice to
      Margaret D. Spector, Secretary of Margo (at the address set forth on
        page 2), stating that the proxy should be revoked. Second, a new proxy
        card may be completed and submitted to Ms. Spector in the same manner.
       Third, Margo's shareholders may attend the annual meeting and vote in
         person. Attendance alone will not, however, revoke a proxy. If a broker
        has been instructed to vote Margo shares, the broker's procedures must
be followed to change those instructions.                     

Q:       When does Margo expect the mergers to be completed?                    

A:       Margo expects to complete the mergers during the third quarter of 2000.

Q:       Will the composition of Holdings' board of directors following the     
   mergers be different than Margo's board of directors prior to the
mergers?                                                      

A:       Yes. As a condition to the consummation of the merger with itract,     
         Holdings' directors must resign and a new board consisting of designees
       of itract will be elected. For information regarding the directors of
         Holdings following the merger with itract, see "Directors and Principal
Officers of Holdings after the Merger" at pages 47 to 48.     

Q:       What other matters will be voted on at the meeting?                    

A:       In addition to approving the reincorporation merger, the Margo         
     shareholders will also be asked to vote on the following proposals:

     o        The approval of the Stock Purchase Agreement with Empresas
           Margo, Inc., providing for the sale of Margo's existing
nursery and other subsidiaries.             

   o        The reelection of the current five directors to serve on
            Margo's board of directors until the consummation of the
                reincorporation merger and, if the reincorporation merger is
             not consummated, until their successors are duly elected.

 When casting their votes on these additional proposals, Margo's
         shareholders desiring the consummation of the merger with itract should
      bear in mind that shareholder approval of the reincorporation merger
      and of the sale of the nursery and other subsidiaries is a condition
         which must be met by Margo before itract is obligated to consummate the
merger.                                                       

Q:       Where can more information about Margo be found?                       

A:       Margo files periodic reports and other information with the Securities 
        and Exchange Commission. This information may be read or copied at the
SEC's public reference facilities. Please call the SEC at     
         1-800-SEC-0330 for information about these facilities. This information
       is also available at the SEC's Internet site (http://www.sec.gov) and
      the offices of the National Association of Securities Dealers. For a
        more detailed description of information available, see "Where You Can
Find More Information" at page 94.                            

Q:       Who can help answer any questions?                                     

A:       If you are a Margo shareholder and have more questions about the       
proposed transaction, you can contact:

         The stock purchase agreement with Empresas Margo, Inc., is the document
that governs the sale of Margo's nursery subsidiary and other subsidiaries to   
Empresas Margo, Inc. It is attached to this proxy statement/prospectus as

disposition of all of Margo's current businesses.                               

What Holders of Margo Stock Will Receive in the Reincorporation Merger          

     Each share of Margo common stock will be exchanged for one share of
Holdings common stock at the effective date of the reincorporation merger of    
Margo with and into Holdings.                                                   

What Holders of itract Membership Units Will Receive in the itract Merger       

         Holders of itract membership units will receive in the itract merger an
amount of shares of Holdings common stock that will constitute, on a fully      
diluted basis, 86.8% the outstanding shares of Holdings common stock immediately
following the itract merger.                                                    

Reasons for the itract Merger                                                   

        Margo believes that the merger with itract offers its shareholders the
opportunity to create shareholder value by participating in a growing sector of 
commerce and the economy-the Internet.                                          

Recommendations to Margo Shareholders                                           

        Margo's board of directors believes that the proposed transactions are
fair to Margo's shareholders and in their best interests, and unanimously       
recommends that the Margo shareholders vote "FOR" the following items:          

       o        approval of the merger agreement with Holdings providing for
           the reincorporation of Margo as a Delaware corporation;

        o        approval of the stock purchase agreement with Empresas Margo,
                  Inc., providing for the sale of Margo's nursery subsidiary and
other subsidiaries; and                     

        o        reelection of the existing five directors to serve as Margo's
              board of directors pending consummation of the merger with
               Holdings and, if the merger is not consummated, until their
successors are duly elected.                

       The reincorporation merger and the sale of Margo's nursery subsidiary
and other subsidiaries are conditions to the itract merger.                     

Votes Required for Approval of Merger with Holdings and the Sale of the         
Businesses                                                                      

      Holders of more than 50% of Margo's outstanding common stock need to
approve the proposed reincorporation merger and the stock purchase agreement    
providing for the sale of Margo's nursery subsidiary and other subsidiaries.    
Margo's directors and officers, and their affiliates, own approximately 68% of  
Margo's outstanding common stock. Michael J. Spector, Margo's Chairman of the   
Board, Chief Executive Officer and President, and his wife, Margaret D. Spector,
Margo's Secretary, have entered into an agreement to vote all of their shares of
Margo, constituting 65.7% of the outstanding Margo common stock, in favor of the
reincorporation merger of Margo with Holdings and the sale of the nursery       
operations and other businesses. The vote of Mr. and Mrs. Spector in favor of   
the proposal submitted in this proxy statement/prospectus is sufficient for     
their approval. The vote of itract's members is not required for the            
consummation of the itract merger.                                              

Opinions of Financial Advisors                                                  

         Schwartz Heslin Group, Inc. provided a written opinion to Margo's board
of directors as to the fairness of the merger with itract to Margo's            
shareholders from a financial point of view. This written opinion is attached as
Appendix D to this document. You should read this entire opinion carefully, as  
well as the additional information set forth under the heading "THE             
TRANSACTION--Opinion of Financial Advisor Regarding Merger with itract"

at pages 28 to 30, to understand the procedures followed, assumptions made,     
matters considered and limitations of the review undertaken by Schwartz Heslin  
Group in providing its opinion.                                                 

        San Juan Holdings, Inc. provided a written opinion to Margo's board of
directors as to the fairness to Margo's shareholders of the sale by Margo of its
nursery and other subsidiaries from a financial point of view. This written     
opinion is attached as Appendix E to this document. You should read this entire 
opinion carefully, as well as the additional information set forth under the    
heading "SALE OF MARGO'S BUSINESSES-Opinion of Financial Advisor Regarding Sale 
of Margo's Businesses" at pages 89 to 91, to understand the procedures followed,
assumptions made, matters considered and limitations of the review undertaken by
San Juan Holdings, Inc. in providing its opinion.                               

      These opinions are directed to Margo's board of directors and do not
constitute a recommendation to any of Margo's shareholders as to how such       
shareholders should vote at the annual meeting.                                 

Interests of Persons Involved in the Merger                                     

        In connection with the execution of the letter of intent between Margo
and itract, Michael J. Spector, the Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive   
Officer of Margo, and J. Morton Davis, who beneficially own 65.7% and 9.8%,     
respectively, of Margo's outstanding common stock, made a $2.0 million loan to  
ICES, the indirect parent company of itract. The entire principal balance plus  
accrued interest on the loan is payable immediately following the effective time
of the merger with itract. If the itract merger is not consummated, this loan   
will be converted into common stock of ICES.                                    

 Michael J. Spector owns all of the outstanding capital stock of
Empresas Margo, Inc. and will act as its Chief Executive Officer.               

        In addition, all options to purchase shares of Margo common stock held
by Margo's officers and directors will be converted into options to purchase the
same number of shares of Holdings common stock and such options will become     
immediately exercisable upon consummation of the reincorporation merger. See    
"THE MARGO ANNUAL MEETING-Share Ownership of Management and Certain             
Shareholders."                                                                  

Board of Directors and Management of Holdings following the Merger with itract  

        Upon consummation of the merger with itract, the board of directors of
Holdings will initially consist of six directors designated by itract. The      
present management team of itract will serve as Holdings' management team after 
the merger. See "THE TRANSACTION-Directors and Principal Officers of Holdings   
after the Merger."                                                              

Dissenters' Rights of Appraisal                                                 

Margo Shareholders                                            

         Holders of Margo common stock who dissent to the reincorporation merger
have the right to seek an appraisal of, and to be paid in cash an amount that   
the Puerto Rico Court decides is the fair value of their shares. This amount may
be more or less than the value of the shares of the Holdings common stock you   
would receive pursuant to the reincorporation merger.                           

    Section 10.12 of the Puerto Rico General Corporations Law of 1995,
which governs the rights of shareholders of Puerto Rico companies who wish to   
seek appraisal of their shares, is discussed under the heading "THE             
TRANSACTION-Terms of the Merger Agreement with Holdings-Dissenters' Rights of   
Appraisal" at pages 32 to 34, and is attached to this proxy statement/prospectus
as Appendix F. If you wish to exercise your dissenter's rights of appraisal, you
must not vote in favor of the merger with Holdings and must take a series of    
steps which are set out in full in Appendix F.                                  

Regulatory Approval                                                             

       No submissions to the Antitrust Division of the Department of Justice
and the Federal Trade Commission are required of Margo pursuant to the          
Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act.

Federal and Puerto Rico Income Tax Consequences                                 

      The exchange of shares of common stock of Margo for shares of common
stock of Holdings will be a taxable transaction for U.S. shareholders for       
federal income tax purposes.                                                    

      It is a condition to the closing of the transactions contemplated by
the merger agreement with itract that Margo receive a ruling from the Puerto    
Rico Treasury Department confirming that the merger of Margo into Holdings      
qualifies as a tax-free reorganization for Puerto Rico income tax purposes.     

        The merger of a subsidiary of Holdings with itract has been structured
so that neither Holdings, its shareholders, nor itract will recognize any gain  
or loss for Federal income taxes in that merger. itract's members will not      
recognize any gain or loss for Federal income tax purposes in that merger to the
extent they exchange property for stock.                                        

 For a description of certain Puerto Rico and Federal income tax
consequences of the transaction to holders of the Margo common stock, see "THE  
TRANSACTION-Terms of the Merger Agreement with Holdings-Federal and Puerto Rico 
Income and Other Tax Consequences of the Reincorporation Merger" commencing on  
page 34 and "THE TRANSACTION-Terms of the Merger Agreement with itract-Material 
Federal Income Tax Consequences" commencing on page 43.                         

Exchange of Stock Certificates                                                  

       After the reincorporation merger with Holdings is completed, you will
be sent written instructions for exchanging your Margo stock certificates for   
new Holdings stock certificates.                                                

Listing on the NASDAQ SmallCap Market                                           

        Margo's common stock is listed on the Nasdaq SmallCap Market under the
symbol "MRGO." Holdings will apply to have its shares of common stock listed on 
the Nasdaq SmallCap Market. It is a condition to the obligation of itract to    
consummate the itract merger that the shares of Holdings be listed on the Nasdaq
SmallCap Market.                                                                

SUMMARY HISTORICAL AND PRO FORMA FINANCIAL INFORMATION

      The following table shows the financial results actually achieved by
each of Margo and itract (the "historical figures") as well as the results as if
the companies had been combined for the period shown (the "pro forma combined"  
figures) under the following circumstances: (1) that the sale of Margo's nursery
and other subsidiaries to Empresas Margo, Inc. has been consummated, (2) that   
all outstanding stock options to purchase shares of Margo and options to        
purchase membership units of itract were exercised, and (3) that no Margo       
shareholder dissents to the reincorporation merger and exercises any appraisal  
rights. You should not assume that Margo and itract would have achieved the     
combined pro forma results if they had actually been combined during the periods
shown.                                                                          

    Margo's and itract's historical figures for the three months ended
March 31, 2000 are unaudited, but management of Margo and itract each believes  
that its own figures reflect all normal recurring adjustments necessary for a   
fair presentation of the financial position and results of operations for that  
period. You should not assume that the results for the three months ended March 
31, 2000 will be repeated in later periods.

RISK FACTORS

In addition to the other information contained in this proxy  
statement/prospectus, shareholders of Margo should carefully review the         
following factors in deciding whether to vote in favor of approval of the       
proposed transactions.                                                          

      Following the transactions, Holdings will be a holding company whose
sole asset will be its 100% membership interest in itract. Therefore, when      
voting on the proposed transactions, you should consider the risks and          
difficulties that may be encountered by itract, an early-stage internet based   
company. These risks include risks particular to itract and its technology, and 
general risks associated with companies doing business on the Internet.         

Risks Associated with itract's Business                                         

itract Has a Limited Operating History and May Never Achieve Profitability.     

       itract was organized in May 1999 and has not generated any revenue to
date. itract has expended and will continue to expend substantial resources to  
create, launch and enhance its services. Because of itract's limited operating  
history, it is extremely difficult to evaluate its business and prospects.      
itract's revenue and income potential are unproven. Since the way in which the  
Internet is used is constantly changing, itract may need to change its business 
strategy to adapt to those changes. itract's business should be evaluated in    
light of the risks and difficulties frequently encountered by early-stage       
companies engaged in Internet commerce. Such risks include:                     

o        lack of sufficient capital;                          

    o        uncertain market acceptance of its products and services;

o        the ability to develop and upgrade infrastructure;   

o        competition;                                         

o        reliance on the Internet;                            

o        dependence upon and need to hire key personnel;      

o        need to manage changing operations;                  

o        regulatory risks associated with itract's business.  

itract may not be successful in addressing these risks, and its business        
strategy may not be successful.                                                 

itract Has a History of Losses and an Expectation of Continuing Losses.         

     itract has incurred losses since inception, including a net loss of
$850,554 for the quarter ended March 31, 2000. As of March 31, 2000, itract had 
an accumulated deficit of $798,331, representing accumulated losses of          
$1,344,856 offset by capital contributions of $546,525. itract expects to       
continue to incur losses and have negative cash flow from operations for the    
foreseeable future.                                                             

itract has invested substantial capital in technology and     
infrastructure development, and expects to expend even greater amounts in these 
areas as it begins to provide its services to customers on its Web site. itract 
will need to invest substantial financial and other resources to complete       
development of its Web site and develop and introduce new services. In addition,
itract will be required to expend substantial financial resources to expand its 
sales and marketing efforts and operating infrastructure. itract expects that   
its cost of revenue, and sales and marketing, general and administrative, and   
customer support expenses, as well as other expenses, will increase if and when 
revenues are realized. itract will need to generate significant revenue to      
achieve profitability. Further, even if itract were to achieve profitability,   
itract may not be able to sustain profitability in the future.

itract's Business Will Suffer If the Market for Outsourced Direct Marketing     
Services in General, and Email and Fax Marketing Services in Particular, Fails  
to Grow.                                                                        

         The market for outsourced direct marketing via email and fax is new and
rapidly evolving. If sufficient demand for itract's services does not develop,  
itract may not generate sufficient revenue to offset its costs and itract may   
never become profitable. Market acceptance of itract's services will depend on  
the acceptance and use of outsourced email and fax direct marketing services.   
These services are very different from the traditional advertising and direct   
mail methods that itract's targeted customers have historically used to attract 
new customers and maintain customer relationships. Businesses that have already 
invested substantial resources in traditional or other methods of marketing and 
communications may be reluctant to adopt new marketing strategies and methods.  
Consumers may also be reluctant to alter established patterns of purchasing     
goods and services.                                                             

Intense Competition Exists in Internet-Based Direct Marketing Services and      
itract Expects Competition to Continue to Intensify.                            

       Competition for Internet-based direct marketing in general, and email
and fax services in particular, is intense. If itract does not respond          
successfully to competitive pressures, itract may not be able to develop        
sufficient market share to support its operations. itract may not be able to    
compete successfully against current or future competitors. Such competitors    
include the in-house email capabilities of many businesses. An increasing number
of companies are entering the market for direct marketing alternatives via the  
Internet. Many of itract's competitors have greater brand recognition, longer   
operating histories, larger customer bases and greater financial, marketing and 
other resources than itract. These factors may place itract at a disadvantage   
when itract responds to its competitors' pricing strategies, technological      
advances and other initiatives. Additionally, itract's competitors may develop  
or provide services that are superior to itract's or that achieve greater market
acceptance. itract expects competition to persist and intensify. Barriers to    
entry may be substantial and itract may face substantial and growing competitive
pressures from companies both in the United States and abroad. See "Information 
About itract - Competition" for a list of itract's competitors.                 

itract's Inability to Comply with Federal Law Relating to the Transmission of   
Unsolicited Faxes May Harm itract's Business.                                   

         Federal law makes it unlawful to use a computer or other device to send
an unsolicited advertisement to a telephone facsimile machine, and provides a   
private right of action to recover $500 for each violation of this law. To the  
extent itract sells fax numbers to its customers, itract intends that all such  
numbers will belong to individuals that have explicitly agreed to receive       
advertisements transmitted to their fax machines. In addition, itract will      
require its customers that use their own fax mailing lists to acknowledge that  
such lists consist only of individuals that have agreed to receive the          
information being transmitted. However, despite itract's efforts, there can be  
no assurance that itract will be able to comply with the law, and itract may    
also be held responsible for violations of its customers. If itract is found to 
have violated this federal law, itract may have to pay significant damages, its 
reputation will be harmed and its business will suffer.                         

itract's Failure to Manage its Planned Rapid Growth Could Cause its Business to 
Suffer.                                                                         

   itract's failure to manage its growth effectively could result in
service disruptions, loss of competitive position and lack of adequate financial
controls. itract plans to expand its operations rapidly and to significantly    
augment its infrastructure. itract must effectively manage its operational,     
customer service and financial systems, procedures and controls to manage this  
planned growth. Any growth will result in increased responsibility for existing 
and new management personnel. itract's ability to grow will depend in part on   
its ability to recruit, train, motivate and manage employees. Growth will place 
a significant strain on itract's managerial, operational and financial          
resources.                                                                      

Delays in Upgrading of itract's Web site and Offering New Services May Harm     
itract's Business.                                                              

         itract has completed the testing of a "beta"version of its software and
launched a basic "version 1.0" of its Web site on June 30, 2000. itract has     
experienced delays in the development and launch of its Web site. In addition,  
several features intended to be provided by the itract system were not included 
in version 1.0. These features, which itract intends to make available by       
September 2000, will provide itract's clients with a wide variety of targeted   
marketing capabilities and the use of "reward points." Several

factors may delay the development and launch of these additional features as    
well as any other new services which may be developed in the future. itract also
expects to improve the itract system on an ongoing basis to increase its ease of
use and to remedy any defects that it may discover. Delays or failure to improve
the itract system or to develop new services could result in itract's failure to
attract and retain clients and may result in the loss of existing clients.      

itract's Faxing Capabilities are Dependent on Third Party Licenses and          
Relationships; itract May Need to License Additional Technologies to Succeed in 
its Business.                                                                   

    itract licenses software technology which enables it to send faxes
through the Internet, and itract is dependent on support services provided by   
third parties for the integration of such software with itract's hardware and   
proprietary software. If itract's outside service providers cease operations or 
otherwise become unavailable to itract, and itract is not able to promptly find 
a suitable replacement, the itract system will be unable to transmit faxes and  
itract's business will be materially harmed. Prior to the launch of "version    
1.0" of the itract system, itract anticipated licensing such software and       
obtaining support services from a particular entity which subsequently ceased   
operations. As a result, itract was forced to delay the launch of version 1.0 of
its Web site and incur additional costs. If a similar occurrence were to occur  
in the future, itract's business could be disrupted and may be adversely        
affected.                                                                       

      In the future, itract may need to license additional technologies to
remain competitive. There is no assurance that itract will be able to license   
these technologies on commercially reasonable terms, or at all. itract's        
inability to obtain any license could delay the development of its services     
until equivalent technology can be identified, licensed and integrated. Such    
delays could cause itract's business to suffer. Further, third party licenses   
may expose itract to increased risks. Such risks include:                       

o        risks related to the integration of new technology;  

      o        the diversion of resources from the development of itract's
own proprietary technology; and             

o        itract's inability to generate revenue from licensed 
              technology sufficient to offset associated acquisition and
maintenance costs.                          

Unknown Software Defects Could Disrupt itract's Services.                       

        itract's service offerings depend on its complex proprietary software.
Such software often contains defects, particularly when first introduced or when
new versions are released. These defects may not be discovered until after such 
software has been in use for a significant amount of time. Accordingly, the     
itract system may be subject to unknown defects. These defects could:           

o        cause service interruptions;                         

o        increase itract's service costs;                     

o        cause itract to lose revenue;                        

o        delay market acceptance; and                         

o        divert itract's development resources.               

      Although itract tests its software, itract may not discover software
defects that affect current or planned services or enhancements until after they
are deployed.                                                                   

itract's Quarterly Operating Results May Fluctuate and Fall below Market        
Expectations Which Could Negatively Affect The Value of Holdings' Common Stock  
Following the itract Merger.                                                    

   itract's operating results will be difficult to predict. itract's
future quarterly operating results may fluctuate significantly. If this occurs, 
Holdings' results may not meet the expectations of securities analysts or       
investors and

the price of Holdings' common stock would likely decline, perhaps substantially.
Factors that may cause fluctuations of itract's operating results include the   
following:                                                                      

  o        the level of market acceptance of itract's products and
services;                                   

      o        delays itract may encounter in introducing new products and
services;                                   

o        competitive developments; and                        

o        changes in pricing policies and resulting margins.   

      itract expects that most of its revenues will be derived from email,
fax and postal marketing services. The volume and timing of orders are difficult
to predict because the market for these products is in its infancy and the sales
cycle may vary substantially from customer to customer. Moreover, itract's sales
are expected to fluctuate due to seasonal or cyclical marketing campaigns.      

itract May Not Be Able to Obtain Additional Capital to Fund its Operations When 
Needed.                                                                         

itract expects that the cash available to Holdings upon the   
consummation of the itract merger, together with anticipated revenues from its  
services, will be sufficient to fund its capital requirements through the fiscal
year ending June 30, 2001. However, itract's capital requirements are subject to
numerous contingencies associated with early-stage companies. itract may be     
required to seek additional financing in the event of delays, cost overruns or  
unanticipated expenses associated with a company in an early stage of           
development or in the event itract does not realize anticipated revenues. In    
addition, itract may seek financing in the future to expand its service         
offerings or to make strategic acquisitions. There can be no assurance that such
financing will be available, or that, if available, such financing will be on   
terms favorable to itract.                                                      

        If itract cannot obtain adequate funds on acceptable terms, itract may
be unable to:                                                                   

o        fund its capital requirements;                       

o        take advantage of strategic opportunities;           

o        respond to competitive pressures; and                

o        develop or enhance its services.                     

    If Holdings raises additional funds through the issuance of equity
securities, shareholders of Holdings following the itract merger may experience 
dilution, and if Holdings raises funds by issuing debt, it may be subject to    
certain limitations on its operations.                                          

itract's Business Will Suffer If it Does Not Attract and Retain Additional      
Highly Skilled Personnel.                                                       

   itract currently has only seven employees. In order for itract to
succeed, it must identify, attract, retain and motivate highly skilled          
technical, managerial, sales and marketing personnel. Failure to retain and     
attract necessary personnel will limit itract's ability to compete effectively  
and provide services to its customers. itract plans to significantly expand its 
operations and will need to hire additional personnel as its business grows.    
Competition for qualified personnel is intense. itract may experience           
difficulties in hiring highly skilled technical personnel due to significant    
competition for experienced personnel in the Internet industry.                 

Need to Attract and Retain Executive Personnel.                                 

   Following the itract merger, itract will need to recruit and hire
additional executive officers, including a Chief Executive Officer and a full   
time Chief Financial Officer. Such personnel are in short supply, and the       
competition for their services is intense. The process of identifying and       
recruiting executive personnel with the requisite combination of skills may be  
lengthy. Failure to recruit such personnel could have an adverse impact on the  
ability of itract to successfully implement its business plan.

itract May Not Be Able to Successfully Operate its Business If itract's Newly   
Formed Management Team Does Not Work Effectively Together.                      

         If itract's management team is unable to work together effectively, its
business could be harmed. As itract was only formed in May 1999, its executive  
officers and employees have had a limited time to work together and may not be  
able to work together effectively.                                              

Entities Affiliated With itract Will Have Significant Control of Holdings after 
the itract Merger; Conflicts of Interest.                                       

      ICES, through its subsidiary The TechDepartment.com, Inc., currently
owns approximately 91.7% of itract's outstanding units. Upon the consummation of
the itract merger, the TechDepartment.com will own approximately 80% of the     
outstanding common stock of Holdings. Henry Kauftheil is currently the sole     
manager of itract and, upon the effectiveness of the itract merger, will be the 
Chairman of the Board of Holdings. Mr. Kauftheil is also the sole director of   
the TechDepartment.com and the Chairman and a controlling shareholder of ICES.  
Mr. Kauftheil controls the voting capital stock of both ICES and, as Chairman of
ICES, of The TechDepartment.com. In addition, as described in the section of    
this proxy statement/prospectus entitled "Information About itract-Relationship 
with ICES and its Affiliates," itract currently occupies space leased by ICES   
and is provided various services from ICES and its affiliates such as investment
banking, legal and accounting services as well as computer hardware, software   
and network services. itract is also indebted to ICES and its affiliates in the 
amount of $1,003,103 as of March 31, 2000. These arrangements create conflicts  
of interest for Mr. Kauftheil and the entities that he controls in acting in the
best interests of himself and these entities as opposed to the shareholders of  
itract. Additionally, Mr. Kauftheil and these entities will be able to          
significantly influence all matters requiring approval by shareholders,         
including the election of directors and the approval of mergers or other        
business combination transactions. This concentration of ownership might also   
have the effect of delaying or preventing a change in control.                  

itract May Face Claims for Activities of its Customers Which Could Harm itract's
Business.                                                                       

A wide variety of laws and regulations govern the content of  
advertisements and regulate the sale of products and services. There is also    
uncertainty as to the application of these laws to the emerging world of        
advertising on the Internet. itract cannot predict whether its role in          
facilitating the marketing activities of its customers would expose it to       
liability under these laws. Providers of Internet products and services have    
been sued in the past, sometimes successfully, based on the content of material.
In addition, some of the content may be compiled by itract or other parties. If 
such content is improperly used, it could result in liability. itract may also  
face civil or criminal liability for unlawful advertising or other activities of
its customers. If itract is exposed to this kind of liability, itract could be  
required to pay substantial fines or penalties, redesign its business methods,  
discontinue some of its services or otherwise expend resources to avoid         
liability. Any costs incurred as a result of that liability or asserted         
liability could harm itract's business.                                         

itract May Lose Customers and its Reputation May Suffer Because of Spam;        
Government Regulation of Email Transmissions.                                   

       A number of states have passed statutes prohibiting and/or regulating
the transmission of unsolicited commercial email ("spam"). A number of statutes 
have also been introduced in Congress and state legislatures to impose penalties
for sending unsolicited emails which, if passed, could impose additional        
restrictions on itract's business. In addition, a California court recently held
that unsolicited email distribution is actionable as an illegal trespass for    
which the sender could be subject for monetary damages.                         

        While itract believes that its system and controls comply with current
laws, there is no assurance that the itract system will not be utilized to      
transmit spam. Further, the growth and development of the market for online     
email may prompt calls for more stringent consumer protection laws that may     
impose additional burdens on those companies conducting business online.        

         If itract fails in its efforts to limit the distribution of unsolicited
bulk email, or spam, itract's business and reputation may be harmed and itract  
may be subject to claims for violations of Federal or state civil or criminal   
law. In addition, spam-blocking efforts by others may also result in the        
blocking of legitimate messages forwarded by itract on behalf of its customers. 
itract's reputation may be harmed if email addresses with its domain names are  
used in this manner. Any of these events may cause itract's customers to become 
dissatisfied with its services and such customers may terminate their           
relationship with itract.

itract Expects to Engage in Future Acquisitions That Could Entail Risks.        

       itract expects to pursue acquisition or investment opportunities that
would complement its current services, enhance its technical capabilities or    
offer growth opportunities. Acquisitions could entail many risks, such as:      

        o        difficulties in integrating acquired operations, technologies
or services;                                

      o        unanticipated costs associated with acquisitions that could
harm operating results;                     

        o        negative effects on the market price of Holdings common stock
      resulting from acquisition-related charges and the
amortization of goodwill;                   

      o        risks of entering markets in which itract has no or limited
prior experience; and                       

        o        dilution to then existing shareholders if shares of Holdings'
                  common stock are issued as consideration in such acquisitions.

itract Depends on Third-party Vendors for the Delivery of Postal Mail.          

       itract will be dependent on one or more third-party vendors to handle
the physical packaging and mailing of the postal mail to be delivered through   
the itract system. Accordingly, the failure of such vendors to satisfy on a     
timely basis the requirements of itract's customers could harm itract's         
business, operations and reputation. In addition, the termination of itract's   
relationship with such vendors without itract finding a prompt replacement would
adversely effect itract's operations.                                           

Risks Associated with itract's Technology                                       

If itract is Unable to Adequately Protect its Intellectual Property, its        
Business Will Suffer.                                                           

     itract's ability to successfully compete is substantially dependent
upon its internally developed technology, which it protects through a           
combination of copyright, trade secret and trademark law. itract has no issued  
patents or patent applications pending. In addition, effective copyright and    
trademark protection may be unenforceable or limited in certain countries. The  
failure of itract to adequately protect its proprietary rights may harm its     
business. In addition, unauthorized parties may attempt to copy or otherwise    
obtain and use itract's products or technology. Policing unauthorized use of    
itract's products is difficult, and itract cannot be certain that the steps it  
has taken will prevent misappropriation of its technology, particularly in      
foreign countries where the laws may not protect its proprietary rights as fully
as in the United States. For a more detailed description of the protection of   
itract's intellectual property, please see "Information About itract --         
Intellectual Property Rights."                                                  

itract's Proprietary Technology May Be Subject to Infringement Claims Which     
Could Harm its Business.                                                        

  There is a substantial risk of litigation regarding intellectual
property rights in the Internet industry. Claims against itract may be asserted 
based on itract's use of its own proprietary technology or technology which it  
licenses from third parties. Third parties may assert exclusive patent,         
copyright, trademark and other intellectual property rights to technologies and 
related standards that are utilized by itract. Future claims of infringement    
against itract with respect to it and its technology, with or without merit,    
could:                                                                          

o        be time-consuming to defend;                         

o        result in costly litigation;                         

o        divert management's attention and resources;         

o        cause delays in delivering products and services;    

o        require the payment of monetary damages;             

   o        result in an injunction which would prohibit itract from
offering a particular product or service; or

        o        require itract to enter into royalty or licensing agreements.

        Royalty or licensing agreements, if required, may not be negotiated by
itract on acceptable terms, or at all. For additional information, please see   
"Information About itract -- Intellectual Property Rights."                     

If itract Fails to Upgrade its Systems and Infrastructure to Expand its Business
and to Accommodate Increases in Email and Fax Transmissions, itract May         
Experience Slower Response Times or System Failures.                            

        itract will need to expand its network infrastructure as the number of
its customers increases and as such customers' requirements change.             
Additionally, itract must adapt its network infrastructure to the increasing    
volume and complexity of information itract's customers wish to transmit. If    
itract does not add sufficient capacity to handle the growing volume and        
complexity of messages, itract could suffer slower response times or system     
failures which could result in a loss of customers. itract intends to make      
substantial investments in new hardware and in upgrading its software to        
increase capacity. itract's services may be unable to handle growing message    
volume and complexity. The expansion of itract's network infrastructure will    
also require substantial financial, operational and managerial resources.       

       In addition, itract may not be able to accurately project the rate or
timing of email and fax transmission increases or upgrade its systems and       
infrastructure to accommodate future traffic levels. As itract upgrades its     
network infrastructure to increase capacity available to its customers, itract  
may encounter equipment or software incompatibility which may cause delays in   
implementation. itract may not be able to expand or adapt its network           
infrastructure to meet additional demand of its clients or itract's clients'    
changing requirements in a timely manner or at all.                             

Failure to Keep Pace with Rapidly Changing Technology and Market Conditions     
Could Affect itract's Competitiveness.                                          

itract will operate in an industry that is characterized by:  

o        rapid technological change;                          

o        frequent new service introductions;                  

o        changing client demands; and                         

     o        the emergence of new industry standards and practices that
              could render itract's services, proprietary technology and
systems obsolete.                           

itract must continually improve the performance, features and 
reliability of itract's services, particularly in response to competitive       
offerings. itract's success will depend, in part, on itract's ability to enhance
its services and to develop new services, functionality and technology that     
address the increasingly sophisticated and varied needs of itract's prospective 
clients. The development of itract's technology and necessary service           
enhancements entail significant technical and business risks and require        
substantial expenditures and lead-time. itract may not be able to keep pace with
the latest technological developments or adapt itract's services to client      
requirements or emerging industry standards.                                    

If itract Encounters System Failure, it May Not Be Able to Provide Adequate     
Service and its Business and Reputation Could Be Damaged.                       

       itract's ability to successfully receive orders for its services from
customers and send email and fax messages and provide acceptable levels of      
customer service largely depends on the efficient and uninterrupted operation of
itract's computer and communications hardware and network systems. itract's     
operations will depend on its ability to protect its computer systems against   
damage from a variety of sources, including telecommunications failures,        
malicious human acts, including computer viruses, and natural disasters. All of 
itract's communications systems will be located in New York, New York. As a     
result, if there were to be a natural disaster affecting the New York area,     
itract's communications systems could be disrupted and itract's business would  
be harmed. itract may not be able to

relocate quickly under those circumstances. If any of these events occur, itract
may be unable to provide its customers with services for indefinite periods of  
time.                                                                           

Service Interruptions from itract's Third Party Internet and Telecommunications 
Providers Could Harm its Business.                                              

     itract will depend heavily on third party providers of Internet and
telecommunications services. Any interruption by itract's Internet and          
telecommunications providers would likely disrupt the operation of itract's     
business, causing a loss of revenue and a potential loss of clients.            

Risks Associated with the Internet                                              

itract's Business Will Suffer If the Internet Does Not Achieve Continuing,      
Widespread Acceptance as a Marketing and Communications Medium.                 

      itract's revenue and profitability will be adversely affected if the
Internet does not achieve continuing, widespread acceptance as a marketing and  
communications medium. itract's future success will depend substantially upon   
the continued evolution of the Internet as an attractive platform for marketing 
and communications applications and the use of outsourcing to solve businesses' 
marketing needs. Most businesses and consumers have only limited experience with
the Internet as a marketing and communications medium.                          

itract Will Not Be Able to Increase its Business Unless Consumers and Businesses
Increase Their Use of the Internet and the Internet Is Able to Support the      
Demands of this Growth.                                                         

         itract's success depends on increasing use of the Internet by consumers
and businesses. If use of the Internet as a medium for consumer and business    
communications does not continue to increase, demand for itract's services will 
be limited. Consumers and businesses might not increase their use of the        
Internet for a number of reasons, such as:                                      

o        high Internet access costs;                          

o        perceived security and privacy risks;                

o        legal and regulatory issues;                         

o        inconsistent service quality; and                    

o        unavailability of cost-effective, high-speed service.

      Even if consumers and businesses increase their use of the Internet,
the Internet infrastructure may not be able to support the demands of this      
growth. The Internet infrastructure must be continually improved and expanded in
order to alleviate overloading and congestion. Failure to do so will degrade the
Internet's performance and reliability. Internet users may experience service   
interruptions as a result of outages and other delays occurring throughout the  
Internet. Frequent outages or delays may cause consumers and businesses to slow 
or stop their use of the Internet as a communications medium.                   

Increased Governmental Regulation and Legal Uncertainties May Impair the Growth 
of the Internet and Decrease Demand for itract's Services or Increase itract's  
Cost of Doing Business.                                                         

     With the exception of state anti-spam laws, there are currently few
laws and regulations directly applicable to the Internet and commercial email   
services. However, the adoption of additional laws or regulations may impair the
growth of itract's business and the use of the Internet thereby decreasing the  
demand for itract's services and increasing itract's cost of doing business. A  
number of laws have been proposed involving the Internet, including laws        
addressing:                                                                     

o        user privacy;                                        

o        pricing;

Changes in Telecommunications Regulations Could Cause Reduced Demand for        
itract's Services.                                                              

     Several telecommunications carriers are advocating that the Federal
Communications Commission regulate the Internet in the same manner as other     
telecommunications services by imposing access fees on Internet service         
providers. These regulations could substantially increase the costs of          
communicating on the Internet. This, in turn, could slow the growth in Internet 
use and thereby decrease the demand for itract's services.                      

Other risks relating to your investment in Margo and, following the             
reincorporation merger, in Holdings                                             

Margo's stock price has been, and is likely to continue to be, extremely        
volatile.                                                                       

    Following Margo's announcement of the itract merger, Margo's stock
price has been volatile and following the consummation of the proposed          
transactions, Holdings' stock price is likely to continue to be volatile.       

   In addition, the Nasdaq SmallCap Market, where many publicly held
Internet companies are traded, has recently experienced extreme price and volume
fluctuations. These fluctuations are often unrelated or disproportionate to the 
operating performance of these companies. The trading prices of many Internet   
companies' stocks were recently at or near historical highs and the price to    
earnings multiples of many Internet companies are substantially above historical
levels. These trading prices and multiples may not be sustainable. The market   
price of Holdings' common stock may be adversely affected by industry volatility
regardless of its actual operating performance. In the past, following periods  
of volatility in the market price of a company's securities, securities class   
action litigation often has been instituted against that company. Similar       
litigation, if instituted against Holdings, could result in substantial costs   
and a diversion of its management's attention and resources.                    

Your investment in Holdings stock may become illiquid and you may lose your     
entire investment.                                                              

         Following the reincorporation merger, Holdings will be required to meet
Nasdaq's initial inclusion requirements which require it to have:               

       o        net tangible assets (total assets, excluding goodwill, minus
          total liabilities) of at least $4 million, or a market
               capitalization exceeding $50 million, or net income (in the
             latest fiscal year or two of the last three fiscal years)
exceeding $750,000;                         

      o        at least 1 million shares in the public float with a market
           value of at least $5 million (not including shares held
          directly or indirectly by any of Holdings' officers or
               directors or by any other person who beneficially owns more
            than ten percent of Holdings' total outstanding shares);

         o        a minimum bid price of Holdings' common stock of $4 per share;

  o        at least three market makers for Holdings common stock;

      o        at least 300 shareholders of Holdings common stock (each of
         which holds at least 100 shares of common stock); and

o        an operating history of at least one year or a market
capitalization exceeding $50 million.       

  In addition, Holdings will be required to meet certain corporate
governance tests promulgated by Nasdaq.

       Although the listing of Holdings' securities on Nasdaq is a condition
to the closing of the itract merger, Holdings may not meet all of the           
requirements for initial listing and the parties to the itract merger agreement 
may determine to waive the listing requirement.                                 

 Even if Holdings' securities are listed on Nasdaq following the
reincorporation merger, Holdings. will need to meet the continued listing       
requirements of the Nasdaq Stock Market to remain listed. The failure of        
Holdings to meet the initial listing or maintenance requirements of Nasdaq could
result in Holdings' securities trading on the OTC Bulleting Board or in the     
"pink sheets". As a consequence, an investor could find it more difficult to    
dispose of or to obtain accurate quotations as to the market value of Holdings' 
securities. Among other things, failure to list or delisting from Nasdaq may    
cause a decline in Holdings' stock price as well as difficulty in obtaining     
future financing.                                                               

Penny stock regulations may affect your ability to sell Holdings' securities.   

      If Holdings' securities fail to be listed on Nasdaq, such securities
would become subject to Rule 15g-9 under the Exchange Act, which imposes        
additional sales practice requirements on broker dealers which sell such        
securities to persons other than established customers and accredited investors.
Under these rules, broker-dealers who recommend penny stocks to persons other   
than established customers and "accredited investors" must make a special       
written suitability determination for the purchaser and receive the purchaser's 
written agreement to a transaction prior to sale. Securities are exempt from    
these rules if the market price is at least $5.00 per share.                    

        The SEC has adopted regulations that generally define a penny stock to
be any equity security that has a market price of less than $5.00 per share,    
subject to certain exceptions. These exceptions include an equity security      
listed on the Nasdaq SmallCap Market, and an equity security issued by an issuer
that has:                                                                       

        o        net tangible assets of at least $2,000,000, if the issuer has
 been in continuous operation for three years;

        o        net tangible assets of at least $5,000,000, if the issuer has
              been in continuous operation for less than three years; or

         o        average revenue of at least $6,000,000 for the preceding three
            years. Unless an exception is available, the regulations
              require the delivery, prior to any transaction involving a
              penny stock, of a disclosure schedule explaining the penny
stock market and the associated risks.      

Anti-takeover provisions in Holdings' charter could negatively impact the       
trading price of its securities.                                                

  Following the merger, Holdings' board of directors will have the
authority to issue up to 5,000,000 shares of preferred stock without the need   
for shareholder approval. The board may also determine the economic and voting  
rights of this preferred stock. The holders of Holdings' common stock could be  
adversely affected by the issuance of preferred stock. Issuance of preferred    
stock could impede or prevent transactions that would cause a change in control 
of Holdings. This might discourage bids for Holdings common stock at a premium  
over its market price and adversely affect the trading price of Holdings' common
stock. Holdings has no current plans to issue shares of preferred stock.        

Following the Mergers, Holdings will be Required to Indemnify the Former        
Officers and Directors of Margo and its Affiliates.                             

 Under the merger agreement with itract, Holdings is required to
indemnify and hold harmless each present and former officer and director of     
Holdings, Margo, and Margo's other subsidiaries, from and against all claims and
losses incurred in connection with any claim or lawsuit pertaining to any matter
that existed or occurred at or prior to the time of the itract merger.          

No Dividends will be Paid in the Near Future.                                   

        Following the consummation of the proposed transactions, Holdings does
not anticipate that it will pay dividends in the foreseeable future. Holdings is
likely to reinvest any funds that might otherwise be available for the payment  
of dividends in further development of its business following the itract merger.

statement/prospectus constitute forward-looking statements. These statements    
involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that may cause 
actual results, levels of activity, performance or achievements following the   
mergers to be materially different from any future results, levels of activity, 
performance, or achievements expressed or implied by such forward-looking       
statements. Such factors include, among other things, those listed under "Risk

THE MARGO ANNUAL MEETING

Purpose, Time and Place                                                         

       Margo is furnishing this proxy statement/prospectus to the holders of
shares of Margo common stock in connection with the solicitation of proxies by  
its board of directors for use at Margo's annual meeting to be held on          
_________, 2000. The annual meeting will be held at The Bankers Club of Puerto  
Rico, Banco Popular Center, 209 Munoz Rivera Avenue, San Juan, Puerto Rico, at  
10:00 a.m. local time and at any adjournments or postponements thereof.         

        At the annual meeting, the holders of Margo common stock will be asked
to vote on proposals to:                                                        

       o        adopt and approve the agreement and plan of merger, dated as
                  of June 21, 2000, by and between Margo and Holdings, providing
for the reincorporation merger;             

      o        adopt and approve the stock purchase agreement, dated as of
          June 30, 2000, between Margo and Empresas Margo, Inc.,
                  providing for the sale of Margo's nursery operations and other
businesses;                                 

        o        reelect the existing five directors to serve as Margo's board
                 of directors pending consummation of the merger with Holdings
               and, in the event that the merger is not consummated, until
   such time as their successors are duly elected;

Record Date; Voting Power                                                       

        Margo's board of directors has fixed the close of business (5:00 p.m.,
Puerto Rico time) on ___________, 2000 as the record date for determining the   
holders of shares of Margo common stock entitled to notice of, and to vote at,  
the annual meeting. Only holders of record of Margo common stock at the close of
business on the record date will be entitled to notice of, and to vote at, the  
annual meeting.                                                                 

    At the close of business on the record date, ___________ shares of
Margo common stock were issued and outstanding and entitled to vote at the      
annual meeting. Holders of record of Margo common stock are entitled to one vote
per share on any matter which may properly come before the meeting. Votes at the
annual meeting may be cast in person or by proxy.                               

       The presence at Margo's annual meeting, either in person or by proxy,
of the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of Margo common stock    
entitled to vote is necessary to constitute a quorum in order to transact       
business at the meeting. However, in the event that a quorum is not present at  
the annual meeting, Margo expects to adjourn or postpone the meeting in order to
solicit additional proxies.

Votes Required                                                                  

       Approval by Margo's shareholders of the board of directors' proposals
to adopt and approve the reincorporation merger with Holdings and the           
transactions contemplated by the merger agreement and the sale of Margo's       
nursery operations and other businesses will require the affirmative vote of the
holders of a majority of the shares of Margo common stock outstanding on the    
record date. Under applicable Puerto Rico law, in determining if the board's    
proposals to adopt and approve the reincorporation merger with Holdings and the 
transactions contemplated by the merger agreement and the sale of Margo's       
nursery operations and other businesses have been approved by Margo's           
shareholders, abstentions by shareholders will have the same effect as a vote   
against the proposals, although they will count toward the presence of a quorum.

   Brokers who hold shares of Margo common stock as nominees, in the
absence of instructions from the beneficial owners thereof, will not have       
discretionary authority to vote for approval and adoption of the reincorporation
merger or the sale of the nursery farm and other businesses, but brokers who    
hold shares of Margo common stock as nominees will have such authority to vote  
such shares for the election of directors. Any shares which are not voted       
because the nominee-broker lacks discretionary authority will have the same     
effect as a vote against the proposals. Accordingly, any beneficial owner of    
Margo common stock whose stock is held by a broker as a nominee should instruct 
their broker as to how to vote their shares. See "Voting of Proxies" below.     

     The affirmative vote of a plurality of the votes cast at the annual
meeting will be required for the election of directors. For purposes of the     
election of directors, abstentions will not be treated as votes cast and will   
have no effect on the result of the vote. A properly executed proxy marked      
"WITHHOLD AUTHORITY" with respect to the election of one or more directors will 
not be treated as voted with respect to the directors indicated, although it    
will be counted for purposes of determining whether there is a quorum.          

         Michael J. Spector and Margaret D. Spector (the "Spectors") jointly own
more than a majority of the outstanding shares of Margo common stock. In        
connection with the execution of the merger agreement with itract, the Spectors 
entered into an agreement whereby they agreed to vote all their shares in favor 
of the reincorporation merger and the sale of Margo's businesses. The Spectors  
have sufficient votes to approve each of the proposals being submitted herewith 
and have indicated that they intend to vote for each of such proposals,         
including the election of the existing five directors. See "Security Ownership  
of Certain Beneficial Owners and Management."                                   

Voting of Proxies                                                               

       Shares of Margo common stock represented by properly executed proxies
that Margo receives prior to the start of the annual meeting will be voted at   
the annual meeting in the manner specified by such proxies. Margo shareholders  
should be aware that, if their proxy is properly executed but does not contain  
voting instructions, their proxy will be voted FOR adoption and approval of each
of the proposals before the annual meeting. Margo shareholders should also be   
aware that, if their proxy is not submitted or is improperly executed, their    
proxy will be voted against adoption and approval of each of the proposals.     

      Margo does not expect that any matter other than as described herein
will be brought before the annual meeting. If other matters are properly        
presented before the meeting, the persons named in a properly executed proxy    
will have authority to vote in accordance with their judgment on any other such 
matter, including without limitation, any proposal to adjourn or postpone the   
meeting or otherwise concerning the conduct of the meeting; provided, that a    
properly executed proxy that has been designated to vote against the adoption   
and approval of the proposals will not be voted, either directly or through a   
separate proposal, to adjourn the meeting to solicit additional votes.          

Revocability of Proxies                                                         

         The grant of a proxy on the enclosed proxy card or a vote by telephone,
does not preclude a shareholder from voting in person. Also, a shareholder of   
Margo may revoke or change their vote on a proxy at any time prior to its       
exercise by:                                                                    

   o        delivering, prior to the start of the annual meeting, to
                  Margaret Spector, Secretary of Margo, Road 690, Kilometer 5.8,
                Vega Alta, Puerto Rico 00692, a written notice of revocation
          bearing a later date or time than the proxy previously
delivered to Margo,

        o        delivering to the Secretary of Margo, at the prior address, a
             duly executed proxy with different instructions bearing a
             later date or time than the proxy previously delivered to
Margo, or                                   

o        attending the annual meeting and voting in person.   

     Margo does not expect to adjourn its annual meeting for a period of
time long enough to require the setting of a new record date for such meeting.  
If an adjournment occurs, it will have no effect on the ability of Margo's      
shareholders of record as of the record date to exercise their voting rights or 
to revoke any previously delivered proxies.                                     

Solicitation of Proxies                                                         

      Margo will bear the cost of the solicitation of proxies from its own
shareholders. In addition to solicitation by mail, Margo's directors, officers  
and employees may solicit proxies from our shareholders by telephone, telegram  
or in person. Arrangements will also be made with brokerage houses and other    
custodians, nominees and fiduciaries for the forwarding of solicitation material
to the beneficial owners of stock held of record by such persons, and Margo will
reimburse such brokers, custodians, nominees and fiduciaries for their          
reasonable out-of-pocket expenses in connection therewith.                      

Executive Compensation                                                          

Summary Compensation Table                                                      

      The following table sets forth information regarding compensation of
Margo's chief executive officer during each of the three years ended December   
31, 1999, 1998 and 1997. No other executive officer of Margo earned more than   
$100,000 during 1999.

Options Exercised During 1999 and Option Values at December 31, 1999            

     The following table sets information on outstanding options held by
Margo's chief executive officer and their value at December 31, 1999. There were
no exercises of options during 1999. Value is calculated as the difference      
between the last sales price of the common stock and the exercise price at      
December 31, 1999, the last day the common stock traded during 1999. Upon       
consummation of the itract merger, all outstanding options of Margo will vest   
and become immediately exercisable. The information in the table is based on the
original vesting schedule of the options without taking into account that such  
options will become automatically exercisable as part of the itract merger.

Salary Deferral Retirement Plan                                                 

       During 1998, Margo established a Salary Deferral Retirement Plan (the
"Retirement Plan") under the provisions of the Puerto Rico Internal Revenue Code
of 1994. The retirement plan only covers employees of Margo Caribe, Inc., the   
parent company, who are at least 21 years of age and have completed one year of 
service. Under the terms of the retirement plan, Margo matches up to 100% of the
pre-tax contributions made by its employees in an amount equal to 10% of their  
basic salary subject to a maximum of $8,000. For the year ended December 31,    
1999, Margo paid approximately $38,000 representing the matching contributions  
under the retirement plan for all participants.

Section 16(a) Beneficial Ownership Reporting Compliance                         

         Section 16 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, requires
Margo's directors and executive officers to report their ownership of and       
transactions in Margo's common stock to the SEC and the National Association of 
Securities Dealers. Copies of these reports are also required to be supplied to 
Margo. Specific dates for filing these reports have been established by the SEC,
and Margo is required to report in the annual report any failure of its         
directors and executive officers to file by the relevant due date any of these  
reports during the fiscal year ended December 31, 1999. Based solely on its     
review of the copies of the report received by it, Margo believes that all such 
filing requirements were satisfied, except that each of Blas R. Ferraiuoli,     
Frederick D. Moss, Michael Rubin and Margaret D. Spector failed to timely file  
one report each, related to receipt of stock options. Frederick D. Moss failed  
to timely file two additional reports related to three purchases of common stock
and Rene Llerandi failed to timely file one report related to the purchase of   
common stock.                                                                   

Performance Graph                                                               

     The following performance graph shall not be deemed incorporated by
reference by any general statement incorporating by reference this proxy        
statement/prospectus into any filing under the Securities Act of 1933 or the    
Securities Exchange Act of 1934, except to the extent that Margo specifically   
incorporates this information by reference, and shall not otherwise be deemed   
filed under such Acts.                                                          

        The Performance Graph compares the yearly percentage change in Margo's
cumulative total stockholder return on its common stock to that of the Center of
Research in Securities Prices ("CRSP") Index for NASDAQ Stock Market (US        
Companies) and a Peer Group Index. The Peer Group Index consists of corporations
engaged in the nursery business (Calloways Nursery Inc., Hines Horticulture Inc.
and Griffin Land and Nurseries Inc.) The Performance Graph assumes (1) that $100
was invested on December 30, 1994 in the case of each of the CRSP Index for     
NASDAQ Stock Market (U.S. Companies), the Peer Group Index and Margo's common   
stock; and (2) the reinvestment of all dividends.

PROPOSED REINCORPORATION MERGER AND MERGER WITH ITRACT

General                                                                         

This proxy statement/prospectus is being furnished to Margo   
shareholders in connection with the solicitation of proxies by Margo's board of 
directors from holders of the shares of Margo common stock for use at the annual
shareholders' meeting to be held on ________, 2000. This proxy                  
statement/prospectus also constitutes a prospectus of Holdings, which is part of
a registration statement on Form S-4 filed with the SEC under the Securities    
Act, in order to register the shares of Holdings common stock to be issued to   
the holders of shares of Margo common stock and holders of itract membership    
units.                                                                          

Background of the Transaction                                                   

Since the early part of 1998, the board of directors of Margo 
determined that it had to seek alternatives to enhance shareholder value. Margo 
began by looking for ways to become more efficient such as eliminating its      
unprofitable Florida operations. These efforts began to bear results with sales 
increasing by 16% during 1999 and the net losses from operations being reduced  
to $128,000 for 1999, compared to $1,113,000 for 1998. The board also examined  
the possibility of diversifying into real estate development. Puerto Rico's     
residential construction market has experienced various years of strong growth. 
To this end, Margo organized a real estate development company in the early part
of 1998 and in August 1999 Margo optioned a 109 acre site for possible          
development as a real estate project. Despite these efforts the stock price of  
Margo continued to trade below book value.                                      

 During the later part of December 1999, Michael J. Spector, the
Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer of Margo was approached by    
Alan Stahler, an investment banker based in New York City. Mr. Stahler asked Mr.
Spector whether Margo would consider the possibility of merging with an         
early-stage Internet company. Mr. Stahler is the son-in-law of J. Morton Davis, 
the principal shareholder of D.H. Blair Investment Banking Corporation, which   
owns approximately 9.8% of Margo's outstanding common stock prior to the        
contemplated transactions.                                                      

       Mr. Stahler explained that this type of transaction would allow Margo
shareholders the ability to participate at an early stage in an Internet        
company. It would also provide the Internet company with a vehicle for becoming 
a publicly held company without some of the costs and uncertainties involved in 
a public offering.                                                              

       On December 30, 1999, Mr. Spector met in New York City with Mr. Davis
and Mr. Henry Kaufthiel, Chairman of ICES. ICES owns equity interests in various
early-stage Internet companies. Certain affiliates of Mr. Davis have equity     
interests in ICES, and ICES through another entity owns approximately 92% of the
equity interests of itract LLC. At the meeting, Mr. Kaufthiel explained to Mr.  
Spector the various Internet businesses that were being developed by ICES.      

     During the first two weeks of January 2000, Mr. Spector met various
times with Margo's outside counsel as well as with Blas Ferraiuoli and Michael  
Rubin, two of Margo's outside directors, to generally discuss the type of       
transaction that Margo might engage in with one of the Internet companies       
affiliated with ICES.                                                           

        On January 18, 2000, Mr. Spector met in New York with Mr. Stahler, Mr.
Davis and Mr. Kaufthiel and other representatives of ICES. At the meeting,      
representatives of itract presented their business plan for the first three     
years of operations.                                                            

       On January 19, 2000, Mr. Davis informed Mr. Spector that he felt that
itract LLC would be willing to pursue a merger transaction with Margo in which  
the members of itract would receive approximately 88% of the outstanding common 
stock of the resulting company in the merger.                                   

         During the next two weeks, Mr. Spector discussed the idea of a possible
merger on general terms with members of Margo's board of directors and outside  
attorneys. During this period, Mr. Spector requested more detailed financial    
projections from itract, which he received on January 27, 2000.

       During the week of January 31, 2000 Mr. Spector invited Mr. Kaufthiel
and other members of the itract management to come to Puerto Rico and make a    
detailed presentation to Margo's board of directors. Mr. Spector also invited   
Mr. Stahler and Mr. Davis to attend the meeting.                                

   Mr. Kaufthiel accepted Mr. Spector's invitation and itract made a
presentation of its business plan and projections to Margo's board of directors 
on February 7, 2000 in San Juan, Puerto Rico. Immediately following the meeting,
Margo's board of directors held a special meeting and authorized Mr. Spector to 
negotiate and execute a non-binding letter of intent with itract. Negotiations  
between the parties continued during February 7 and February 8 and a non-binding
letter of intent was executed in the evening of February 8, 2000. Under the     
terms of the letter of intent, the holders of membership units of itract are    
entitled to receive approximately 88% of the outstanding common stock of Margo  
following the merger.                                                           

    On February 10, 2000, Margo's board of directors voted to create a
committee consisting of its independent board members to review the proposed    
transaction with itract. On March 9, 2000, Margo retained the services of the   
Schwartz Heslin Group, Inc., an independent investment banking firm, to render  
an opinion on the fairness of the proposed merger to Margo's shareholders from a
financial point of view.                                                        

In the weeks following the signing of the letter of intent,   
representatives of Margo and itract conducted due diligence investigations,     
studied the tax implications of the transaction and negotiated the terms of the 
merger agreement. On April 4, 2000, Margo's board of directors held a special   
meeting to review the recommendations of the special committee and the report   
made by the Schwartz Heslin Group, Inc. The board subsequently voted to approve 
the merger agreement, subject to such minor changes as management might deem    
advisable.                                                                      

    Further negotiations ensued. As a result of such negotiations, the
percentage ownership to be received by the members of itract was reduced from   
88% to 86.8%. This reduction was based on Margo's understanding that certain    
amounts owed by itract to ICES and its affiliated entities reduced the value of 
itract. A special board meeting was held on April 11, 2000 to approve the final 
terms of the merger agreement. Margo's board of directors once again approved   
the agreement and the merger agreement was executed in the evening of April 11, 
2000.                                                                           

Recommendations of Margo's Board of Directors and Reasons for the Transactions  

        Margo's board of directors believes that the proposed transactions are
fair to, and in the best interests of, Margo and its shareholders. Accordingly, 
Margo's board of directors has unanimously approved the merger agreement with   
Holdings and the purchase agreement with Empresas Margo, Inc. and recommends    
that Margo shareholders vote FOR the approval and adoption of those agreements  
and the transactions contemplated thereby.                                      

  Margo's board of directors believes that the consummation of the
transactions present an opportunity for Margo shareholders to participate in a  
growing sector of commerce and the economy--the Internet.                       

        In reaching its decision to approve the reincorporation merger and the
sale of the existing nursery and other subsidiaries and recommend their approval
to Margo's shareholders, Margo's board of directors consulted with Margo's      
management, as well as with its financial and legal advisors, and considered a  
variety of factors, including the following:                                    

 o        Market prices of its common stock over recent periods.

     o        The business prospects of its existing nursery and related
operations.                                 

o        Margo's going concern value.                         

       o        Margo's inability to obtain crop insurance for damage caused
by hurricanes.                              

   o        The future prospects of itract in the Internet marketing
        business, as contemplated by itract's business plan.

       o        A review of possible alternatives, including continuing as a
publicly or privately held corporation.     

         o        The written opinion of Schwartz Heslin Group, Inc. that, as of
                  the date of such opinion and based upon and subject to certain
                 matters stated in such opinion, the conversion ratio is fair,
              from a financial point of view, to Margo's shareholders. A
                copy of such opinion, which sets forth the assumptions made,
                matters considered and limitations on the review undertaken,
                is attached as Appendix D to this proxy statement/prospectus
and is incorporated herein by reference.    

       o        The structure and terms of the merger agreement with itract.

   The above discussion of the information and factors considered by
Margo's board of directors is not intended to be exhaustive, but includes all   
material factors considered by the board. In reaching its determination to      
approve and recommend the merger, Margo's board of directors did not assign any 
relative or specific weights to the foregoing factors, and individual directors 
may have given differing weights to different factors. Margo's board of         
directors unanimously recommends that Margo shareholders vote FOR adoption and  
approval of the merger agreement.                                               

Opinion of Financial Advisor Regarding Merger with itract                       

       Margo retained Schwartz Heslin Group, Inc. ("Schwartz Heslin") to act
as its financial advisor to render a fairness opinion in connection with the    
itract merger, based on Schwartz Heslin's qualifications, expertise and         
reputation. On April 11, 2000, Scwartz Heslin rendered to Margo's board of      
directors its written opinion that, as of such date and based upon the          
considerations set forth in the opinion, the itract merger was fair from a      
financial point of view to the holders of the shares of Margo's common stock.   
The full text of the Scwartz Heslin opinion is attached as Appendix D to this   
proxy statement/prospectus.                                                     

         Margo's stockholders are urged to read the opinion carefully and in its
entirety. The Schwartz Heslin opinion is directed to Margo's board of directors,
addressed only the fairness of the itract merger transaction from a financial   
point of view to the holders of the shares of Margo common stock, and does not  
address any other aspect of the itract merger or constitute a recommendation to 
any of Margo's stockholders or the members of itract as to how such stockholders
or members should vote on the merger. This summary is qualified in its entirety 
by reference to the full text of such opinion.                                  

   Pursuant to an engagement agreement dated March 8, 2000, Schwartz
Heslin was engaged by Margo's board of directors to render an opinion as to     
whether the itract merger was fair to the shareholders of Margo from a financial
point of view. In rendering the opinion, it was Schwartz Heslin's understanding 
that the itract merger is the merger of a subsidiary of Holdings with itract    
whereby Holdings would acquire itract in an all stock transaction. In the       
reincorporation merger, Margo's existing common stock would be exchanged for    
shares of common stock of Holdings. itract's members would receive shares of    
Holdings common stock representing 86.8% of Holdings common stock after the     
itract merger (on a fully diluted basis).                                       

    Schwartz Heslin is a firm that provides a broad range of financial
consulting and advisory services. Schwartz Heslin has been engaged in a number  
of transactions to render valuation and fairness opinions for both private and  
public companies. Schwartz Heslin has previously not provided any financial     
advisory services to Margo or itract.                                           

      For purposes of its opinion and in connection with its review of the
itract merger, Schwartz Heslin reviewed and analyzed, among other things, the   
following: (a) the itract merger agreement; (b) the letter of intent, dated     
February 8, 2000; (c) itract's Business Plan, dated March 17, 2000; (d) certain 
internal information, financial and operational in nature (including projections
prepared by management of itract and ICES) concerning the business and          
operations of itract; (e) the unaudited balance sheet and income statement of   
itract as of February 29, 2000; and (f) audited financial statements for Margo  
for the years ended December 31, 1999 and 1998.                                 

       Schwartz Heslin considered such other information, financial studies,
analyses, investigations and financial, economic and market criteria that it    
deemed relevant. Schwartz Heslin also had discussions with certain officers and 
employees of Margo and itract to review the foregoing as well as other matters  
it believed relevant to its analysis.

         In connection with its opinion, with Margo's permission and without any
independent verification, Schwartz Heslin relied on the accuracy and            
completeness of all the financial and other information reviewed by it,         
furnished, or otherwise communicated to it by Margo or obtained by Schwartz     
Heslin from publicly available sources. Schwartz Heslin did not make an         
independent valuation or appraisal of the assets or liabilities of Margo and was
not furnished with any such valuation or appraisal. Any inaccuracies in the     
information on which Schwartz Heslin relied could materially affect its opinion.

        In conjunction with rendering its written opinion dated April 11, 2000
to the board of directors of Margo, Schwartz Heslin presented a summary of its  
analysis to the Board on April 4, 2000. Set forth below is a brief summary of   
the analyses performed by Schwartz Heslin in reaching its April 11, 2000        
opinion.                                                                        

Market Approach.                                              

        Under this approach, Schwartz Heslin used three valuation methods: (1)
the guideline company method, (2) the merger and acquisition method, and (3) the
industry performance guideline method.                                          

  Under the guideline company method, Schwartz Heslin selected six
comparable companies and calculated median market multiples based on the ratio  
of market value to revenues, earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and  
amortization ("EBITDA") and net income. Applying these multiples to itract's    
forecasted values produced a potential value for itract of $119 million. The    
comparable public companies were: Clickaction, Inc., Doubleclick, Inc., Siebel  
Systems, Inc., Digital Impact, Inc., Exactis.com, Inc., and 24/7 Media, Inc.    

     Under the merger and acquisition method, Schwartz Heslin determined
price multiples for selected similar businesses that have recently been sold.   
The price multiples used were price to total assets, price to equity and price  
to revenue for each of three projected years, weighted more for the first year. 
The median multiples calculated were applied to the projected itract values.    
Each multiple was also weighted based on observations of current Internet       
company valuations. The application of this method produced a potential value   
for itract of $43 million.                                                      

     Under the industry performance guideline method, industry multiples
were selected for similar businesses that have publicly available financial     
information. The price multiples used were price to total assets, price to      
equity and price to revenue for each of three projected years (weighted more for
the first year). The median multiples calculated were applied to the projected  
itract values. Each multiple was also weighted based on observations of current 
Internet company valuations. The application of this method produced a potential
value for itract of $90.5 million.                                              

Income Approach.                                              

        Under the income approach, Schwartz Heslin performed a discounted cash
flow analysis of itract based on the forecasted information provided by itract's
management. The projected cash flows were discounted to present values using a  
discount rate of 33.41%, which reflect different assumptions regarding the      
required rates of return of holders and prospective buyers of Holdings common   
stock. The application of this method produced a potential value for itract of  
$41 million.                                                                    

Implied Market Value.                                         

Schwartz Heslin considered the public market's reaction to the
announcement of the itract merger. The publicly traded stock of Margo rose      
substantially after the announcement of the itract merger, indicating that the  
market views the itract merger favorably. The price of Margo's common stock     
increased from $5.75 per share immediately prior to the announcement to $35 per 
share shortly after the announcement, and closed at $17 per share on February 9,
2000, the day of the announcement. The stock price has fluctuated between       
approximately $11 and $30 per share from February 10, 2000 to March 31, 2000, on
relatively low volume. The volatility in the stock price tends to indicate that 
trading in Margo's common stock is being done in a highly speculative manner    
with respect to the value of itract. Nevertheless, the trading prices for       
Margo's common stock provides an indication of the perceived value

of itract, although not necessarily its fair value. Using these trading values  
and applying a discount factor, after taking into consideration the dilution to 
Margo's shareholders as a result of the itract merger, provides a potential     
value for itract of $38 million.                                                

      No company or transaction used in the above analyses is identical to
Margo, itract or the itract merger. Accordingly, an analysis of the results of  
the foregoing is not mathematical; rather, it involves complex considerations   
and judgments concerning differences in financial and operating characteristics 
of the companies and other facts that could affect the public trading value of  
the companies to which they are being compared.                                 

         The material analyses performed by Schwartz Heslin have been summarized
above. Nonetheless, the summary set forth above does not purport to be a        
complete description of the analyses performed by Schwartz Heslin. The          
preparation of a fairness opinion involves various determinations as to the most
appropriate and relevant methods of financial analysis and the application of   
these methods to the particular circumstances. Therefore, such an opinion is not
readily susceptible to a summary description. Schwartz Heslin did not form a    
conclusion as to whether any individual analysis, considered in isolation,      
supported or failed to support an opinion as to fairness. Rather, in reaching   
its conclusion, Schwartz Heslin considered the results of the analyses in light 
of each other and ultimately reached its opinion based on the results of all    
analyses taken as a whole. Schwartz Heslin did not place a particular reliance  
or weight on any particular analysis, but instead concluded that its analyses,  
taken as whole, supported its determination.                                    

       In performing its analyses, Schwartz Heslin made numerous assumptions
with respect to itract's performance, general business and economic conditions  
and other matters. The analyses performed by Schwartz Heslin are not necessarily
indicative of future actual values or future results, which may be significantly
more or less favorable than suggested by such analyses. The analyses do not     
purport to be appraisals or to reflect prices at which a company might actually 
be sold or the prices at which any securities may trade at the present time or  
at any time in the future. Schwartz Heslin used in its analyses various         
projections of future performance prepared by the management of itract. The     
projections were based on numerous variables and assumptions which are          
inherently unpredictable and must be considered not certain of occurrence as    
projected. Accordingly, actual results could vary significantly from those      
assumed in the projections and any related analyses. Schwartz Heslin has not    
expressed an opinion or given any form of assurance for the underlying data     
presented in their opinion and/or their valuation report nor has Schwartz Heslin
expressed any opinion or given any form of assurance that itract can achieve its
business plan. Furthermore, Schwartz Heslin's opinion does not address the      
relative merits of the itract merger as compared to any alternative business    
strategies that might exist for Margo or the effect of any other business       
combination in which Margo might engage.                                        

         Pursuant to the terms of Schwartz Heslin's engagement, Margo has agreed
to pay Schwartz Heslin for its financial advisory services in connection with   
the fairness opinion an aggregate fee of $25,000. Margo also has agreed to      
reimburse Schwartz Heslin for reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by it  
in performing its services, including fees and expenses for legal counsel and   
other advisors, and to indemnify Schwartz Heslin and certain related persons and
entities against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the federal   
securities laws, arising out of Schwartz Heslin's engagement.                   

Terms of the Merger Agreement with Holdings                                     

   This section of the proxy statement/prospectus describes material
provisions of the merger agreement with Holdings. The description of the merger 
agreement contained in this proxy statement/prospectus does not purport to be   
complete. For a complete understanding of the terms and conditions of the merger
agreement, all of Margo's shareholders are urged to read the entire merger      
agreement, attached as Appendix A to this proxy statement/prospectus carefully  
and in its entirety.                                                            

General                                                                         

  Holdings, a corporation organized under the laws of the State of
Delaware, was established to accomplish the reincorporation of Margo in Delaware
pursuant to the proposed merger of Margo and Holdings. As a result of the       
reincorporation merger, all current Margo shareholders will have the same equity
interest in Holdings as they now

have in Margo. However, upon consummation of the merger with itract, Margo      
shareholders will own, on a fully diluted basis, 13.2% of the outstanding common
stock of Holdings. Prior to the consummation of the proposed reincorporation    
merger, Margo will have sold its nursery and other subsidiaries pursuant to the 
stock purchase agreement with Empresas Margo, Inc. See, "Sale of Business"      
below.                                                                          

         Upon consummation of the proposed reincorporation, Margo will be merged
with and into Holdings, with Holdings being the surviving corporation of such   
merger. All holders of Margo common stock will become holders, on a             
share-for-share basis, of shares of common stock of Holdings having the same    
rights with respect to Holdings as their shares of Margo common stock now have  
with respect to Margo. Holdings will succeed to all rights, assets, liabilities 
and obligations of Margo. The closing of the reincorporation merger would occur 
immediately prior to the closing of the merger with itract.                     

Purpose                                                                         

       The reason for the reincorporation of Margo as a Delaware corporation
is that it allows the merger with itract, as discussed below, to qualify as a   
tax-free exchange for most of the members of itract for federal income tax      
purposes. Also, Delaware is one of the preferred jurisdictions for public       
companies because of its established body of corporate law. Thus, Margo and     
itract believe that being a Delaware corporation will help Holdings' ability to 
obtain debt and equity financing in the future.                                 

Conversion of Shares                                                            

    Pursuant to the terms and conditions of the merger agreement, each
share of Margo common stock, $0.001 par value, which is outstanding immediately 
prior to the merger will be converted into one share of common stock, $0.001 par
value, of Holdings having the same rights, powers, qualifications, limitations  
and restrictions with respect to Holdings as the Margo common stock presently   
has with regard to Margo.                                                       

It will not be necessary for shareholders to surrender their  
certificates. Certificates representing Margo common stock will be deemed to be 
certificates for an equal number of shares of Holdings common stock. After the  
merger, certificates that previously represented Margo common stock will be     
replaced by certificates representing Holdings common stock when submitted to   
the transfer agent with a request that they be so replaced or when presented for
transfer. If any certificate is to be reissued in a name other than that in     
which the certificate surrendered is registered, the person requesting such     
exchange shall pay any transfer or other taxes incident thereto.                

Conditions of Merger                                                            

        Consummation of the merger with Holdings is subject to fulfillment, on
or before the effective time of the merger, of the following conditions: (1)    
approval by the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of Margo common 
stock, (2) satisfaction of all conditions to the consummation of the merger with
itract, as discussed below, and (3) receipt of a ruling from the Puerto Rico    
Treasury Department and an opinion of counsel from Pietrantoni Mendez & Alvarez 
LLP to the effect that the merger constitutes a tax-free reorganization under   
the Puerto Rico Internal Revenue Code of 1994, as amended.                      

Termination                                                                     

      At any time prior to the consummation of the reincorporation merger,
the merger agreement may be terminated and the merger abandoned by the board of 
directors of Margo. The board of directors would abandon the merger if the      
conditions set forth above are not satisfied.                                   

Stock Options                                                                   

  All options to purchase Margo common stock outstanding as of the
effective time of the reincorporation merger shall, by virtue of such merger and
without any further action on the part of Margo or the holders of such options,

be converted into the options to acquire the same number of shares of Holdings  
common stock and for the same exercise price.                                   

Dissenters' Rights of Appraisal                                                 

       Pursuant to Section 10.12 of the Puerto Rico General Corporations Law
of 1995 ("PRGCL"), the holder of record of any shares of Margo common stock who 
does not vote such holder's shares in favor of adoption and approval of the     
merger agreement with Holdings may assert appraisal rights and elect to have the
"fair value" of such holder's shares of Margo common stock determined and paid  
to such holder, provided that such holder complies with the requirements of     
Section 10.12 of the PRGCL, summarized below. All references to and summaries of
the rights of Margo dissenting shareholders are qualified in their entirety by  
reference to the text of Section 10.12 of the PRGCL which is attached to this   
proxy statement/prospectus as Appendix F.                                       

       Any shareholder entitled to vote on the merger who desires that Margo
purchase the shares of Margo common stock held by such shareholder (the         
"dissenting shares") must not vote in favor of adoption and approval of the     
reincorporation merger. Shares of Margo common stock voted in favor of adoption 
and approval of the reincorporation merger will be disqualified as dissenting   
shares.                                                                         

  Shareholders whose shares are not voted in favor of adoption and
approval of the reincorporation merger and who, in all other respects, follow   
the procedures specified in Section 10.12 of the PRGCL, will be entitled to have
their Margo common stock appraised by the Puerto Rico Court of First Instance   
(the "Court") and to receive payment of the "fair value" of such shares,        
exclusive of any element of value arising from the accomplishment or expectation
of the merger, as determined by the Court. The procedures set forth in Section  
10.12 of the PRGCL must be strictly complied with. Failure to follow any such   
procedures will result in a termination or waiver of the shareholders' appraisal
rights under Section 10.12 of the PRGCL.                                        

  Under Section 10.12 of the PRGCL, a holder of Margo common stock
electing to exercise appraisal rights must:                                     

       1.       Deliver to Margo, before taking of the vote on the merger, a
              written demand for appraisal of such holder's Margo common
               stock which reasonably informs Margo of the identity of the
                  shareholder of record and that such record shareholder intends
             to demand appraisal of such holder's shares. Such written
                  demand is in addition to and separate from any consent or vote
              with respect to the reincorporation merger. Neither a vote
           against, nor abstention from voting with respect to the
           reincorporation merger, nor a failure to consent to the
                  merger, will satisfy the requirement that a written demand for
                  appraisal be delivered to Margo before the vote on the merger.
                Such written demand for appraisal should be delivered either
                in person to the Secretary of Margo, or by mail to Road 690,
           Kilometer 5.8, Vega Alta, Puerto Rico 00692, Attention:
   Secretary of Margo, prior to _______, 2000; and

2.       Not vote in favor of, or consent in writing to, the  
                 reincorporation merger. A failure to vote against the merger,
             or not respond to a request for written consent, will not
constitute a waiver of appraisal rights.    

       The written demand for appraisal must be made by or for the holder of
record of shares of Margo common stock. Accordingly, such demand must be        
executed by or for such shareholder of record, fully and correctly, as such     
shareholder's name appears on the stock certificates representing the shares. If
the applicable shares are owned of record in a fiduciary capacity, such as by a 
trustee, guardian or custodian, execution of the demand should be made in such  
capacity, and if the applicable shares are owned of record by more than one     
person, as in a joint tenancy or tenancy in common, such demand should be       
executed by or for all joint owners. An authorized agent, including one of two  
or more joint owners, may execute the demand for appraisal for a shareholder of 
record. However, the agent must identify the record owner(s) and expressly      
disclose the fact that, in executing the demand, the agent is acting as agent   
for the record owner(s).                                                        

         A record owner, such as a broker, who holds shares as nominee for other
persons may exercise appraisal rights with respect to the shares held for all or
less than all of such other persons. In such case, the written demand should

set forth the number of shares covered by it. Where no number of shares is      
expressly mentioned, the demand will be presumed to cover all of the shares     
outstanding in the name of such record owner.                                   

 Within 10 days after the effective time of the merger, Margo is
required to, and will, notify each shareholder who has satisfied the foregoing  
conditions of the date on which the effective time occurred and that appraisal  
rights are available with respect to shares for which a demand has been         
submitted. Within 120 days after the effective time, Margo, or any such         
shareholder who has satisfied the foregoing conditions and otherwise is entitled
to appraisal rights under Section 10.12 of the PRGCL, may file a petition in the
Court demanding a determination of the value of the shares held by all          
shareholders entitled to appraisal rights. If no such petition is filed,        
appraisal rights will be lost for all shareholders who previously had demanded  
appraisal of their shares. Shareholders of Margo seeking to exercise appraisal  
rights should not assume that Margo will file a petition with respect to the    
appraisal of the value of their shares or that Margo will initiate any          
negotiations with respect to the "fair value" of such shares. Accordingly, such 
shareholders should regard it as their obligation to take all steps necessary to
perfect their appraisal rights in the manner prescribed in Section 10.12 of the 
PRGCL.                                                                          

       Within 120 days after the date of the effective time, any shareholder
who has complied with the applicable provisions of Section 10.12 of the PRGCL   
will be entitled, upon written request, to receive from Margo a statement       
setting forth the aggregate number of shares not voted in favor of the          
reincorporation merger and with respect to which demands for appraisal were     
received by Margo, and the number of holders of such shares. Such statement must
be mailed within 10 days after the written request therefor has been received by
Margo or within 10 days after expiration of the period for delivery of demands  
for appraisal, whichever is later.                                              

        If a petition for an appraisal is timely filed, at the hearing on such
petition the Court will determine the shareholders of Margo entitled to         
appraisal rights. After determining the shareholders entitled to an appraisal,  
the Court will appraise the value of the shares of Margo common stock owned by  
such shareholders, determining the "fair value" of such shares exclusive of any 
element of value arising from the accomplishment or expectation of the          
reincorporation merger and the transactions described herein.                   

         The Court will direct payment by Margo of the fair value of such shares
together with a fair rate of interest, if any, on such fair value to            
shareholders entitled thereto upon surrender to Margo of stock certificates. The
costs of the proceeding may be determined by the Court and taxed upon the       
parties as the Court deems equitable in the circumstances. Upon application of a
shareholder, the Court may, in its discretion, order that all or a portion of   
the expenses incurred by any shareholder in connection with an appraisal        
proceeding, including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys' fees and fees  
and expenses of experts, be charged pro rata against the value of all the shares
entitled to appraisal.                                                          

       Although Margo believes that the merger is fair, no representation is
made as to the outcome of the appraisal of fair value as determined by the      
Court, and shareholders should recognize that such appraisal could result in a  
determination of a value higher or lower than, or the same as, the consideration
to be received in the merger. Moreover, Margo does not presently anticipate     
offering cash consideration in excess of the fair market value of such merger   
consideration (calculated as of the completion of the merger) to any shareholder
exercising appraisal rights, and reserves the right to assert, in any appraisal 
proceeding, that, for purposes of Section 10.12 of the PRGCL the "fair value" of
a share of Margo common stock is less than the fair market value of such merger 
consideration (calculated as of the completion of the merger) that would        
otherwise be received by such shareholder. In determining the "fair value" of   
shares of Margo common stock, the Court is required to take into account all    
relevant factors. Therefore, such determination could be based upon             
considerations other than, or in addition to, the price paid for shares and the 
asset value of shares of Margo common stock, including, without limitation, the 
market value of shares and the asset values and earning capacity of Margo.      
Section 10.12 of the PRGCL provides that "fair value" is to be "exclusive of any
element of value arising from the accomplishment or expectation of the merger." 

Any holder of shares of Margo common stock who has demanded an
appraisal in compliance with Section 10.12 of the PRGCL will not, after the     
effective time of the merger, be entitled to vote such holder's shares for any  
purpose nor be entitled to the payment of dividends or other distributions on   
such shares other than those payable to shareholders of record as of a date     
prior to the effective time of the merger.

         If no petition for an appraisal is filed within 120 days after the date
of the effective time, or if a holder of shares delivers to Margo a written     
withdrawal of such holder's demand for an appraisal and an acceptance of the    
merger either within 60 days after the effective time or with the written       
approval of Margo after such period, then the right of such shareholder to an   
appraisal will cease and such shareholder will receive the merger consideration 
for their Margo shares and become a shareholder of Holdings. Margo reserves the 
right to give or withhold such written approval in its sole discretion. No      
appraisal proceeding in the Court will be dismissed as to any shareholder       
without the approval of the Court, which approval may be conditioned on such    
terms as the Court deems just.                                                  

Federal and Puerto Rico Income and Other Tax Consequences of the Reincorporation
Merger                                                                          

         The following discussion summarizes certain Federal and Puerto Rico tax
aspects of the proposed reincorporation merger. This discussion is based on the 
United States Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"), the Puerto
Rico Internal Revenue Code of 1994, as amended (the "PR Code") and the Puerto   
Rico Municipal Property Tax Act of 1991, as amended (the "MPTA"), all as in     
effect on the date of this proxy statement.                                     

         Some portions of the discussion are based on the assumption that (1) at
the time of the reincorporation merger the fair market value of Holdings common 
stock would be approximately equal to the fair market value of Margo common     
stock surrendered pursuant thereto, (2) at the time of the reincorporation      
merger there is no plan or intention by the shareholders of Margo to sell,      
exchange, or otherwise dispose of any shares of Holdings received in the        
reincorporation merger that would reduce the Margo shareholders' ownership of   
Holdings common stock to a number of shares having a value, as of the date of   
the reincorporation merger of less than 50% of the value of all of the formerly 
outstanding common stock of Margo (including Margo shares held by dissenters and
Margo shares redeemed prior to the reincorporation merger) as of the date of the
reincorporation merger, (3) there is no plan or intention to have Holdings      
reacquire any of its common stock issued in the reincorporation merger, (4) the 
liabilities of Margo assumed by Holdings, plus the liabilities, if any, to which
the assets are subject, were incurred by Margo in the ordinary course of its    
business, (5) the fair market value of the assets of Margo transferred to       
Holdings will equal or exceed the sum of the liabilities assumed by Holdings,   
plus the amount of liabilities, if any, to which-the transferred assets are     
subject, (6) following the reincorporation merger, Holdings would continue to   
conduct a business and, (7) Margo, its shareholders and Holdings would pay their
respective expenses, if any, incurred in connection with the reincorporation    
merger.                                                                         

         This discussion does not address all aspects of Federal and Puerto Rico
taxation that may be relevant to a holder of Margo or Holdings common stock in  
light of that shareholder's particular circumstances or to a shareholder subject
to special rules such as: (1) an individual shareholder that is not a citizen of
the United States; (2) a financial institution or insurance company; (3) a      
tax-exempt organization; (4) a dealer or broker in securities; or (5) a         
shareholder that holds Margo or Holdings common stock or that acquired Margo or 
Holdings common stock pursuant to the exercise of options or otherwise as       
compensation.                                                                   

       Margo strongly urges each holder of Margo common stock to consult his
or her tax advisor to determine the Federal and Puerto Rico tax consequences of 
the merger that may be applicable to the particular shareholder.                

Federal Income Tax Consequences                                                 

Margo                                                                           

       For purposes of the Code, the reincorporation merger would be treated
as a taxable sale by Margo of each of its appreciated tangible and intangible   
assets to Holdings in exchange for Holdings common stock and a distribution by  
Margo to its shareholders of Holdings' common stock.                            

         Since at the effective time of the reincorporation merger Margo will be
considered a foreign corporation that is not engaged in a United States trade or
business under the Code, Margo will not be subject to Federal income tax on such
a gain.

Holdings                                                                        

     Holdings would not be required to recognize any gain or loss on the
receipt of Margo's tangible and intangible assets in exchange for Holdings      
common stock.                                                                   

The Shareholders                                                                

       The reincorporation merger would be treated as a taxable exchange for
federal income tax purposes by a shareholder of Margo common stock for Holdings'
common stock. Thus, Margo shareholders would generally be required to recognize 
a gain or loss on the exchange of the Margo common stock for Holdings' common   
stock under the Code measured by the difference as of the effective time of the 
reincorporation merger between the fair market value of Holdings' common stock  
received and the holder's tax basis in the Margo common stock.                  

         Holders of Margo common stock that are corporations organized under the
laws of the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico, would be subject to federal income tax 
on gains derived from the exchange of Margo common stock for Holdings' common   
stock only if the gain is effectively connected to a U.S. trade or business     
carried on by such corporation.                                                 

        Gains, if any, from exchange of the Margo's common stock for Holdings'
common stock by individuals who are bona fide residents of Puerto Rico during   
the entire taxable year generally is treated as Puerto Rico source income and   
therefore excluded from U.S. Federal income taxation if the Puerto Rico resident
pays a Puerto Rico income tax at an effective rate of at least 10% on the gain. 
Because such gain is subject to tax in Puerto Rico at progressive rates that    
generally exceed 10%, in many cases it will be excluded from U.S. taxation under
this rule. However, a resident of Puerto Rico who is not subject to a 10% tax on
gain from the sale of such holder's Margo common stock nevertheless may treat   
the gain as Puerto Rico source income not subject to U.S. Federal income tax if 
the requirements of Notice 89-40 are met. The Code provisions governing the     
source of the gain authorizes the Secretary of the Treasury to issue regulations
making the 10% tax requirement inapplicable to bona fide residents of Puerto    
Rico. In Notice 89-40, the IRS announced that regulations would be issued that  
would provide that gain from the sale of stock individuals who had been bona    
fide residents of Puerto Rico for the entire taxable year would be Puerto Rico  
source, and therefore excluded from U.S. Federal income taxation, whether or not
the individual paid a 10% on the gain to Puerto Rico. Unless contrary authority 
is issued, an individual resident of Puerto Rico who meets the conditions       
described in the notice may treat a gain from the exchange of the Margo common  
stock for Holdings' common stock as Puerto Rico source income.                  

Dividends Paid by Holdings                                                      

   Dividends paid by Holdings out of its earnings and profits to its
shareholders would constitute ordinary gross income for purposes of the Code.   

Sale or Exchange of Holdings' common stock                                      

         Holders of Holdings' common stock would be required to recognize a gain
or loss on the sale, exchange or other disposition of Holdings' common stock for
federal income tax purposes under the Code.                                     

     Corporations organized under the laws of the Commonwealth of Puerto
Rico would be subject to U.S. Federal income tax on gains derived from the sale,
exchange or other disposition of Holdings' common stock only if the gain is     
effectively connected to a U.S. trade or business carried on by such            
corporation.                                                                    

    Gains, if any, from the sale, exchange or other disposition of the
Holdings' common stock by individuals who are bona fide residents of Puerto Rico
during the entire taxable year generally are treated as Puerto Rico source      
income and, therefore, excluded from U.S. taxation if the Puerto Rico resident  
pays a Puerto Rico income tax at an effective rate of at least 10% on the gain. 
Because such gain is subject to tax in Puerto Rico at progressive rates that    
generally exceed 10%, in many cases it will be excluded from U.S. taxation under
this rule. However, a resident of Puerto Rico who is not subject to a 10% tax on
gain from the sale of such holder's Margo common stock

nevertheless may treat the gain as Puerto Rico source income not subject to     
federal income tax if the requirements of Notice 89-40 are met. The Code        
provisions governing the source of the gain authorize the Secretary of the      
Treasury to issue regulations making the 10% tax requirement inapplicable to    
bona fide residents of Puerto Rico. In Notice 89-40, the IRS announced that     
regulations would be issued that would provide that gain from the sale of stock 
by individuals who had been bona fide residents of Puerto Rico for the entire   
taxable year would be Puerto Rico source income, and therefore excluded from    
U.S. Federal income taxation, whether or not the individual paid a 10% on the   
gain to Puerto Rico. Unless contrary authority is issued, an individual resident
of Puerto Rico who meets the conditions described in the notice may treat a gain
from the sale, exchange or other disposition of the Holdings' common stock as   
Puerto Rico source income under the Code.                                       

United States Estate and Gift Taxes                                             

      The transfer by death or gift of Holdings' common stock is generally
subject to federal estate and gift taxes under the Code.                        

Puerto Rico Tax Consequences                                                    

Income Tax                                                                      

Margo, Holdings' and the Shareholders                                           

      Margo understands that the reincorporation merger would constitute a
tax-free reorganization for purposes of the PR Code. Under these circumstances: 

         1.       no gain or loss would be recognized by Margo upon the transfer
                 of its tangible and intangible assets to Holdings in exchange
for Holdings' common stock;                 

2.       no gain or loss would be recognized by Margo upon the
               distribution to its shareholders of Holdings' common stock;

         3.       no gain or loss would be recognized by Holdings upon receiving
          Margo's tangible and intangible assets in exchange for
Holdings' common stock; and                 

         4.       Margo's shareholders would not recognize gain of loss upon the
              deemed exchange of Margo common stock for Holdings' common
stock.                                      

        Furthermore, shareholder's basis in Holdings' common stock received in
the reincorporation merger would be the same basis as such holder had in shares 
of Margo common stock and the holding period of Holdings' common stock received 
by each shareholder would include the holding period of the common stock of     
Margo held by such shareholder immediately prior to the reincorporation merger. 

 Margo has requested a ruling from the Puerto Rico Department of
Treasury to the effect that the reincorporation merger constitutes a tax-free   
reorganization under the PR Code. The administrative practice of the Puerto Rico
Department of Treasury is to require as a condition of issuing this ruling that 
Margo be deemed to distribute a dividend of its current and accumulated earnings
and profits to its shareholders. To this date, the Puerto Rico Department of the
Treasury has not issued this ruling and no assurance can be given that the      
ruling will in fact be issued. The receipt of the ruling confirming the tax-free
reorganization treatment of the reincorporation merger is a condition to the    
closing of the itract merger.                                                   

        A gain realized by a dissenting shareholder on account of surrendering
Margo stock pursuant to the exercise of dissenter rights will generally be      
subject to Puerto Rico income taxes.                                            

In the case of a gain realized by a dissenting shareholder not
described in the preceding paragraph, such gain will be subject to Puerto Rico  
income tax (and in certain circumstances a tax to be withheld at source of up to

25% of the consideration received will be imposed) only if (1) in the case of an
individual citizen of the United States, such gain is treated as income derived 
from sources within Puerto Rico, or (2) in the case of a foreign corporation or 
partnership or non-resident alien individual, such gain is income from sources  
within Puerto Rico or is effectively connected with a trade or business in      
Puerto Rico. To the extent such gain is subject to Puerto Rico income tax, a    
dissenting shareholder that is also subject to Federal income tax on the gain   
may not be able to claim the Puerto Rico income tax imposed thereon against the 
applicable Federal income tax.                                                  

Dividends Paid by Holdings                                                      

    The shareholders of Holdings that are individuals and residents of
Puerto Rico and corporations or partnerships organized pursuant to the laws of  
the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico will be subject to a Puerto Rico income tax as  
ordinary income on the total amount of dividends distributed by Holdings from   
its earnings and profits.                                                       

Sale or Exchange of Holdings' common stock                                      

        Any gain realized by a shareholder of Holdings from the sale, exchange
or redemption of Holdings' common stock will not be subject to the Puerto Rico  
income tax under the PR Code if the gain is income from sources outside of      
Puerto Rico and such shareholder (1) is an individual citizen of the United     
States and not a resident of Puerto Rico, (2) an individual not a citizen of the
United States and not engaged in a trade or business in Puerto Rico, or (3) a   
corporation or partnership organized under the laws of a country other than     
Puerto Rico and not engaged in a trade or business in Puerto Rico.              

         Any gain to be recognized by a shareholder of Holdings from the sale or
exchange of Holdings' common stock will constitute income from sources within   
Puerto Rico if title to and beneficial ownership of the stock is transferred in 
Puerto Rico. Any gain realized by a Holdings shareholder on account of a        
redemption of Holdings' common stock will constitute income from sources within 
Puerto Rico.                                                                    

Property Tax Consequences Under the MPTA                                        

         Under the MPTA, Holdings' common stock would not be subject to personal
property taxes.                                                                 

Puerto Rico Estate and Gift Taxes                                               

The transfer by death or gift of Holdings' common stock by an 
individual resident of Puerto Rico would be subject to Puerto Rico estate or    
gift taxes under the PR Code.                                                   

Terms of the Merger Agreement with itract                                       

   This section of the proxy statement/prospectus describes material
provisions of the merger agreement with itract. The description of the merger   
agreement contained in this proxy statement/prospectus does not purport to be   
complete. For a complete understanding of the terms and conditions of the merger
agreement, you are urged to read the merger agreement, attached as Appendix B to
this proxy statement/prospectus carefully and in its entirety.                  

Closing; Effective Time                                                         

     The closing of the merger will take place at the offices of Kronish
Lieb Weiner & Hellman LLP, 1114 Avenue of the Americas, New York, New York, on

Holdings and itract. Subject to the provisions of the merger agreement, on the  
closing date, Holdings and itract will file a certificate of merger or other    
appropriate documents with the Secretary of State of Delaware in accordance with
the relevant provisions of the Delaware corporations statutes, as a result of   
which iTract Acquisition Company, LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of Holdings,   
will merge with and into itract and itract will become a wholly owned subsidiary
of Holdings. The merger will become effective at such time as the certificate of
merger is duly filed with the Secretary of State of Delaware.

The Merger Consideration                                                        

         Each member of itract will be entitled to receive at the effective time
of the merger a pro rata share of the "Merger Consideration", rounded to the    
nearest whole number, based on the proportion that the itract units held by that
member immediately prior to the merger bears to the total number of issued and  
outstanding itract units at the time of the merger. The "Merger Consideration"  
is the number of shares of common stock of Holdings equal to the difference     
between the "Maximum itract Shares" and the number of shares of Holdings that   
will be subject to options and warrants to acquire shares of Holdings' common   
stock issued to the current holders of options and warrants of itract in        
connection with the merger. As of the date of this proxy statement/prospectus,  
there are 453,500 membership units subject to outstanding warrants of itract and
127,500 shares subject to outstanding options of Margo. There are no outstanding
warrants or other convertible securities of Margo.                              

 The "Maximum itract Shares" will be determined by the following
formula:                                                                        

                Margo common stock  +  Margo common stock underlying
             outstanding             outstanding options
        0.868 x ------------------------------------------------------------
       0.132

   This means that Margo anticipates exchanging 12,680,057 shares of
Holdings common stock for the itract membership units exchanged in the merger,  
with up to an additional 536,045 shares being available upon exercise of the    
outstanding warrant issued by itract to InfoSpace. See "Information About       
itract-itract's Business-Marketing." Accordingly, on a fully diluted basis      
assuming exercise of all outstanding options and warrants, Holdings common stock
received by the itract members in the merger will represent 86.8% of the        
outstanding Holdings common stock immediately after the merger.                 

Cancellation of itract Units; Fractional Shares                                 

    At the effective time of the itract merger, all outstanding itract
membership units will automatically be cancelled and holders of such units will 
be entitled to receive, as soon as is practicable, certificates representing    
shares of Holdings' common stock. No certificates representing fractional shares
of Holdings' common stock will be issued upon the surrender of the itract       
membership units.                                                               

Representations and Warranties                                                  

    Each of itract, Holdings, iTract Acquisition Company, LLC ("iTract
Acquisition Sub") and Margo have made certain customary representations and

o        business locations.                                  

      The merger agreement also contains representations and warranties of
Margo relating to:

     Margo's, Holdings' and iTract Acquisition Sub's Conduct of Business

have agreed that, until the earlier of the termination of the itract merger

No Solicitation                                                                 

       Each of Margo, Holdings, itract and iTract Acquisition Sub has agreed
that, prior to the earlier of the termination or effective time of the itract   
merger, it will not solicit, initiate or encourage any inquiries, proposals or

itract, Margo or Holdings or any sale of a material portion of its assets and/or
capital stock, other than with respect to the sale of Margo's nursery and other

view, to Margo's shareholders;

    o        evidence that the loans made by Michael J. Spector and J.
             Morton Davis to ICES in the aggregate principal amount of
                  $2,000,000 shall be repaid, with interest thereon, immediately

     o        receipt of opinions of counsel that the merger with itract
             qualifies as a tax-free exchange under Section 351 of the
                  Internal Revenue Code and is not subject to taxation in Puerto
Rico                                        

       o        receipt of a ruling from the Puerto Rico Treasury Department

Termination                                                                     

       The merger agreement may be terminated prior to the completion of the
itract merger only as follows:                                                  

o        by written agreement of all the parties at any time; 

      o        unilaterally by Margo or Holdings if satisfaction of any of
                 the conditions to their obligations becomes impossible and is
                not waived or the merger has not occurred by August 15, 2000
(subject to a 60 day extension if this proxy
               statement/prospectus has not been declared effective by the
             SEC), in either case other than as a result of a material
               breach or default by Margo, Holdings or Michael J. Spector;

o        unilaterally by itract if satisfaction of any of the 
               conditions to its obligations becomes impossible and is not
            waived or the merger has not occurred by August 15, 2000
(subject to a 60 day extension if this proxy
               statement/prospectus has not been declared effective by the
             SEC), in either case other than as a result of a material
breach or default by itract;                

       o        unilaterally by Margo or Holdings if itract has breached the
                  agreement in any material respect and such breach has not been
   cured within ten days after notice thereof; and

       o        unilaterally by itract if Margo or Holdings has breached the
                  agreement in any material respect and such breach has not been
cured within ten days after notice thereof. 

Expenses                                                                        

     In the event the merger agreement is terminated as set forth above,
there is no further liability or obligation of any party, except that:          

   o        if the agreement is terminated by Margo or Holdings as a
                result of a material breach by itract, itract and ICES shall
        be obligated to reimburse Margo and Holdings for all
                  out-of-pocket expensed incurred by them in connection with the
               agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby up to a
maximum of $100,000; and                    

    o        if the agreement is terminated by itract as a result of a
                  material breach by Margo or Holdings, Margo and Holdings shall
          be obligated to reimburse itract for all out-of-pocket
                expensed incurred by it in connection with the agreement and
            the transactions contemplated thereby up to a maximum of
$100,000.                                   

Material Federal Income Tax Consequences                                        

     The following discussion summarizes the material Federal income tax
consequences of the merger of iTract Acquisition Sub into itract and ownership  
and disposition of shares of Holdings common stock received by itract members in
that merger that are applicable to holders of Holdings common stock and itract  
members. It is based on the Code, applicable U.S. Treasury Regulations, judicial
authority, and administrative rulings and practice, all as of the date of this  
proxy statement/prospectus, and all of which are subject to change, including   
changes with retroactive effect. The discussion below does not address any      
state, local or foreign tax consequences of the merger, or estate or gift tax   
considerations. Each itract member's tax treatment may vary depending upon the  
particular situation of such member.                                            

Holdings and Holdings Shareholders                                              

  For purposes of the Code, the itract merger will be treated as a
nontaxable transfer to a controlled corporation by itract members of their      
membership interests (or by itract of its assets followed by a liquidation of   
itract). Holdings will not be subject to Federal income tax on the receipt of   
those interests. After the itract merger, itract will be a "disregarded entity" 
that is not treated as separate from Holdings for Federal income tax purposes.  
Holdings' basis in itract's assets will be equal to the sum of the bases of the 
interests itract members transferred to Holdings (or, if

the transaction is treated as a transfer by itract of its assets followed by a  
liquidation of itract, equal to itract's basis in the assets).                  

        Persons who were Holdings shareholders prior to the itract merger will
not transfer or receive any property in the itract merger. Thus, the itract     
merger will not affect the Federal income tax liability of Holdings'            
shareholders.                                                                   

itract Members                                                                  

         This discussion does not address all aspects of Federal income taxation
that may be relevant to an itract member in light of that member's particular   
circumstances or to a member subject to special rules such as:                  

1.       a financial institution or insurance company;        

2.       a tax-exempt organization;                           

3.       an S corporation;                                    

4.       a taxpayer subject to alternative minimum tax;       

5.       a dealer or broker in securities; or                 

6.       a person that is not a U.S. holder.                  

     For these purposes, the term "U.S. holder" means a person that is a
citizen or resident of the United States, a corporation, partnership, or other  
entity created or organized in the United States or under the laws of the United
States or of any political subdivision thereof, an estate whose income is       
includible in gross income for United States federal income tax purposes        
regardless of source, or a trust if a U.S. court is able to exercise primary    
supervision over the administration of the trust or one or more U.S. persons    
have the authority to control all substantial decisions of the trust. Each      
itract member is urged to consult his or her tax advisor to determine the       
Federal tax consequences of the itract merger that may be applicable to the     
particular shareholder.                                                         

       Some portions of this discussion are based on the assumption that the
following statements are true as of the date of this proxy statement/prospectus 
and that they will remain true until the date of the itract merger:             

       1.       itract has not issued additional membership units (including
                  membership units issued pursuant to warrants or options) since
                  March 31, 2000, and will not issue additional membership units
              or options to acquire membership units prior to the itract
merger;                                     

      2.       at the time of the itract merger, the adjusted tax basis of
             each member's interest in itract will equal or exceed the
             member's share of itract's liabilities, and the aggregate
              adjusted tax basis of itract's assets will equal or exceed
itract's liabilities;                       

       3.       the fair market value of the shares of Holdings common stock
                received by itract members with respect to itract membership
            interests associated with membership units held prior to
           December 1999 will be no greater than the value of such
interests surrendered in the itract merger; 

         4.       no holder of an option or warrant to acquire itract membership
            units or Holdings stock will have a plan to exercise the
                  option or warrant other than a generalized plan to realize the
                 value of the option or warrant at some indefinite time in the
future before it expires;                   

       5.       the number of shares of Holdings common stock to be received
              with respect to all of the itract membership interests was
                determined by arm's-length negotiations among itract members
and the managements of itract and Holdings;

      6.       in connection with the itract merger, no itract member will
           receive, directly or indirectly, any consideration from
                 itract, Margo, or iTract Acquisition Sub other than shares of
Holdings common stock;                      

         7.       except to the extent that holders of earlier-issued membership
          units may be shifting value to holders of later-issued
                  membership units at the time of the itract merger, none of the
                 shares of Holdings common stock received in the itract merger
              by an itract member will be separate consideration for, or
                  allocable to, any employment, consulting, or similar agreement
with respect to services;                   

         8.       the itract merger agreement and the documents described in the
               itract merger agreement and this proxy statement/prospectus
               represent the entire understanding between or among itract,
                 ICES, Holdings, Margo, and iTract Acquisition Sub and between
           or among such entities and the members of itract or the
                shareholders of ICES, Holdings, or Margo with respect to the
              itract merger, and there are no written or oral agreements
          regarding the itract merger other than those expressly
             referred to in the itract merger agreement and this proxy
statement/prospectus;                       

  9.       none of the itract members has any plan or intention to
                  dispose of the shares of Holdings common stock received in the
itract merger;                              

    10.      on each date on which itract issued membership units, the
             value of itract was equal to or greater than the value of
              itract on the previous date on which membership units were
issued;                                     

     11.      neither Margo nor Holdings will have issued any options to
             purchase Margo or Holdings common stock between March 31,
2000, and the date of the itract merger;    

      12.      the itract members each hold their membership interest, and
                will hold their shares of Holdings common stock, as "capital
assets" within the meaning of the Code; and 

      13.      at the time of the itract merger, the assets of itract will
                 not include any "investment company property" other than cash
            in an amount no greater than $100,000, and the assets of

     This discussion is not binding on the Internal Revenue Service (the
"IRS") or the courts. Neither Margo, Holdings, nor itract has sought or will    
seek any rulings from the IRS with respect to the positions discussed herein,   
and there can be no assurance that the IRS will not take a different position   
concerning the tax consequences of the itract merger or ownership or disposition
of shares of itract common stock or that any such position would not be         
sustained.                                                                      

Receipt of Shares of Holdings Common Stock in the itract Merger                 

     To the extent that itract members receive shares of Holdings common
stock in exchange for their itract membership interests, they will be treated as
having received their stock in a nontaxable transfer to a controlled            
corporation. Such itract members will not be subject to Federal income tax      
liability on the gain realized on the transfer, and each such itract member's   
basis in his or her Holdings stock will equal his or her basis in his or her    
transferred itract membership interest.                                         

      Because the capital accounts associated with itract membership units
will tend to be greater with respect to earlier-issued membership units, and    
because the shares of Holdings common stock will be issued to the members in the
same ratio that profit and loss is shared, the holders of earlier-issued        
membership units may be deemed to have received additional shares of Holdings   
common stock, which they transferred to the holders of later-issued membership  
units. If so, the value of such shares will be income to the holders of the     
later-issued membership units. The holders of earlier-issued membership units   
should not recognize gain on this deemed transfer because they should be treated
as having contributed a portion of their membership interest to itract before   
the merger, after which itract should be treated as having issued the membership
interests to the holders of later-issued units, or as having contributed a      
portion of their shares to Holdings after the merger, after which Holdings      
should be treated as issuing shares to the holders of later-issued membership   
units.                                                                          

   Any persons that are treated as having received Holdings stock in
exchange for services (rather than for a membership interest in itract) will not
be treated as having received the stock in a nontaxable transaction, and will be
subject to Federal income tax on the receipt of compensation.                   

Distributions by Holdings                                                       

      A distribution on shares of Holdings common stock will be taxable to
the holder as ordinary dividend income to the extent that the amount of the     
distribution does not exceed Holdings' current or accumulated earnings and      
profits allocable to such distribution (as determined for federal income tax    
purposes). To the extent that the amount of the distribution exceeds Holdings'  
current or accumulated earnings and profits allocable to such distribution, the 
distribution will be treated as a return of capital, thus reducing the holder's 
adjusted tax basis in the shares of Holdings common stock with respect to which 
such distribution was made. The amount of any such excess distribution that     
exceeds the holder's adjusted tax basis in the shares of Holdings common stock  
will be taxed as capital gain and will be long-term capital gain if the holder's
holding period for the shares of Holdings common stock exceeds one year. If the 
holder received his or her shares of Holdings common stock in exchange for his  
or her itract membership interest, the holding period for that holder's shares  
of Holdings common stock will include the period for which the holder held his  
or her itract membership interest. If the holder received his or her shares of  
Holdings common stock in exchange for services, his or her holding period will  
commence on the day following the day on which he or she received the shares of 
Holding common stock. There can be no assurance that Holdings will have         
sufficient earnings and profits to cause distributions on the shares of Holdings
common stock to be treated as dividends for federal income tax purposes. For    
purposes of the remainder of this discussion, the term "dividend" refers to a   
distribution paid out of current or accumulated earnings and profits, unless the
context indicates otherwise.                                                    

        Dividends received by corporate holders will generally be eligible for
the 70% dividends-received deduction under of the Code. There are, however, many
exceptions and restrictions relating to the availability of the                 
dividends-received deduction, such as restrictions relating to (1) the holding  
period of the stock on which the dividends are received, (2) debt-financed      
portfolio stock, (3) dividends treated as "extraordinary dividends," and (4)    
taxpayers that pay alternative minimum tax. Corporate holders should consult    
their own tax advisors regarding the extent, if any, to which such exceptions   
and restrictions may apply to their particular factual situations. The Code     
requires a

corporate holder to satisfy a separate 46-day (91-day, in the case of certain   
preferred stock dividends) holding period requirement with respect to each      
dividend in order to be eligible for the dividends-received deduction with      
respect to such dividend.                                                       

Sale or Exchange of Holdings Common Stock                                       

Holders of shares of Holdings common stock will be required to
recognize a gain or loss on the sale, exchange or other disposition of shares of
Holdings common stock for Federal income tax purposes under the Code. In        
determining their holding period, holders who received their stock in exchange  
for their itract membership interests will include the period for which they    
held their interests prior to the itract merger.                                

Directors and Principal Officers of Holdings after the Merger                   

  In accordance with the merger agreement, all of the then current
members of the board of Holdings will resign immediately prior to the effective 
time of the itract merger and will designate as their successors persons        
designated by itract. In addition, all of Holdings' executive officers and      
employees will resign as of the effective time, to be replaced by the executive 
officers appointed by the board of directors of Holdings following the itract   
merger.                                                                         

 Listed below is biographical information for each person who is
expected to be a director or executive officer of Holdings upon completion of   
the itract merger. itract is engaged in an active search for, and intends to

Interests of Certain Persons in the Merger                                      

 You should be aware that, as described below, certain executive
officers and directors of Margo have interests in the merger that are different 
from, or in addition to, your interests and that may create potential conflicts 
of interest.                                                                    

        Except as described below, Margo is not aware of any material interest
in the merger of its executive officers and directors, other than those as      
shareholders of Margo generally.                                                

        In connection with the execution of the letter of intent between Margo
and itract, Michael J. Spector and J. Morton Davis, who beneficially own 65.7%  
and 9.8%, respectively, of Margo's outstanding common stock, made a $2.0 million
loan to ICES, the indirect parent company of itract. The entire principal       
balance plus accrued interest on the loan is payable immediately following the  
effective time of the merger with itract. If the itract merger is not           
consummated, this loan will be converted into common stock of ICES.             

        In addition, all options to purchase shares of Margo common stock held
by Margo's officers and directors will be converted into options to purchase the
same number of shares of Holdings' common stock and such options will become    
immediately exercisable upon consummation of the reincorporation merger.        

   Executive officers and directors of Margo own options to purchase
shares of Margo common stock, as more fully described in "Election of Directors 
to Serve until Consummation of the Merger" at pages 92 to 94.

Indemnification and Insurance                                                   

         Pursuant to the merger agreement, Holdings has agreed to indemnify each
present and former director and officer of Margo, Holdings, iTract Acquisition  
Sub and Margo's subsidiaries against claims, liabilities, costs and expenses    
incurred in connection with claims arising out of or pertaining to matters      
existing or occurring at or prior to the effective time of the merger.          

     See "THE MERGER--Terms of the Merger Agreement--Indemnification and
Insurance."                                                                     

Accounting Treatment                                                            

   The itract merger will be accounted for as a reverse merger. As a
result, itract will be considered to be the acquiring entity and Holdings the   
acquired entity for accounting purposes, even though Holdings is the acquirer   
for legal purposes. The historical financial information of itract will become  
the historical financial information of Holdings and historical stockholders'   
equity and earnings per share prior to the merger will be retroactively restated
for the equivalent number of shares to be received in the merger.               

Restriction on Resales by Affiliates                                            

         The shares of Holdings' common stock to be issued to Margo shareholders
and members of itract in the mergers are being registered under the Securities  
Act, subject to certain lock-up agreements. These shares may be traded freely   
and without restriction by those shareholders who are not deemed to be          
"affiliates" of Holdings or itract, as that term is defined under the Securities
Act.                                                                            

An affiliate of Holdings or itract is a person who directly or
indirectly, through one or more intermediaries, controls, is controlled by, or  
is under common control with, Holdings or itract, as the case may be. Any       
subsequent transfer by an affiliate of Holdings or itract must be permitted by  
the resale provisions of Rule 145 under the Securities Act (or Rule 144 under   
the Securities Act, in the case of persons who become affiliates of Holdings    
after the merger) or otherwise permitted under the Securities Act, and not be   
subject to any lock-up agreement. These restrictions are expected to apply to   
the directors, executive officers and principal stockholders of Holdings.       

         Certain current officers, directors, shareholders, managers and members
of Margo and itract will enter into such lock-up agreements. Under the itract   
merger agreement, each member of itract receiving shares of Holdings' common    
stock in the itract merger will enter into an agreement whereby such member will
agree, for a period of eight months following the closing of the merger, not to 
sell, assign or transfer any securities of Holdings held by such member or      
acquired by such member. In addition, each holder of more than 5% of Margo's    
common stock will enter into an agreement whereby such holder will agree, for a 
period of four months following the closing of the merger, not to sell, assign  
or transfer any securities of Holdings held by such shareholder or acquired by  
such shareholder. However, Michael J. Spector and Margaret D. Spector will be   
able to pledge their shares of Holdings common stock to an unaffiliated lender  
as collateral for purposes of financing the purchase of Margo's nursery         
operations and other businesses without such lender being subject to the lock-up
provisions, and Margaret D. Spector will be able to sell up to 30,000 of        
Holdings' common stock during such four months period.                          

INFORMATION ABOUT HOLDINGS

         Holdings is a Delaware corporation that was formed by Margo on April 5,
2000 as a wholly-owned subsidiary for the sole purpose of effecting the merger  
transactions. Holdings has no assets other than a wholly-owned subsidiary (which
also has no assets) which will merge with and into itract. Prior to such merger,
Margo will merge into Holdings with Holdings as the survivor of such merger.    
Following these transactions, Holdings will be a holding company whose sole     
asset will be its 100% membership interest in itract. As a result of these      
mergers, the current shareholders of Margo and members of itract will be        
shareholders of Holdings.                                                       

        Holdings' current directors are the same as Margo's directors. Michael
J. Spector also serves as President and Chief Executive Officer of Holdings.    
Upon the consummation of the itract merger, all of these directors and officers

will resign and are expected to be replaced with the persons listed under       
"Directors and Principal Officers of Holdings after the Merger."                

 DESCRIPTION OF HOLDINGS' SECURITIES

         As of the date of this proxy statement/prospectus, Holdings' authorized
capital stock consists of 100,000,000 shares of common stock, par value $.001   
per share, and 5,000,000 shares of "blank check" preferred stock, par value     
$.001 per share. No other classes of capital stock are authorized under         
Holdings' certificate of incorporation.                                         

Common Stock                                                                    

         itract Inc. issued 1,000 shares of common stock to Margo. Approximately
2 million shares of common stock will be issued in connection with the          
reincorporation merger of Margo into Holdings and approximately 12.8 million    
shares of common stock will be issued to itract members in connection with the  
itract merger. At the effective time of the reincorporation merger and the      
itract merger, the issued and outstanding shares of Holdings common stock will  
be duly authorized, validly issued and nonassessable. Holders of the Holdings   
common stock will have no preemptive, redemption, conversion, subscription or   
sinking fund rights. Such holders will be entitled to receive dividends when and
as declared by the board of directors of Holdings out of funds legally available
for payment. Upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up of Holdings, the       
holders of the common stock may share ratably in the assets, subject to the     
rights and preferences of any outstanding preferred stock.                      

         Each holder of Holdings' common stock is entitled to one vote per share
of common stock held of record by such holder. Holdings' common shareholders do 
not have any right to cumulate votes for the election of directors.             

Preferred Stock                                                                 

        The board of directors of Holdings has the power, without further vote
of the shareholders, to authorize the issuance of up to 5,000,000 shares of     
preferred stock and to fix the terms, limitations, rights, privileges and       
preferences of any of these shares of preferred stock. This power includes the  
ability to establish voting, dividend, redemption, conversion, liquidation and  
other rights and preferences for any or these shares. There are presently no    
shares of Holdings preferred stock outstanding.                                 

Holdings Long Term Incentive Plan                                               

   In ________, 2000 the board of directors of Holdings adopted, and
Margo, as Holdings' sole stockholder, approved, the 2000 Long Term Incentive    
Plan (the "Plan"), which provides for the grant by Holdings of awards of        
restricted stock and options to purchase common stock. The maximum number of    
shares of common stock which may be issued and sold under the Plan is           
___________. The Plan, which expires in ________, 2010, will be administered by 
the board of directors or a committee of the board of directors of Holdings. The
purposes of the Plan are to ensure the retention of existing executive          
personnel, key employees, directors, consultants and advisors who are expected  
to contribute to Holdings future growth and success and to provide additional   
incentive by permitting such individuals to participate in the ownership of     
Holdings.                                                                       

   Options granted under the Plan may be either incentive options or
non-qualified options. Incentive options granted under the Plan are exercisable 
for a period of up to 10 years from the date of grant at an exercise price which
is not less than the fair market value of Holdings' common stock on the date of 
the grant, except that the term of an incentive option granted under the Plan to
a stockholder owning more than 10% of the outstanding voting power may not      
exceed five years and its exercise price may not be less than 110% of the fair  
market value of the common stock on the date of the grant. To the extent that   
the aggregate fair market value, as of the date of grant, of the shares for     
which incentive options become exercisable for the first time by an optionee    
during the calendar year exceeds $100,000, the portion of such option which is  
in excess of the $100,000 limitation will be treated as a non-qualified option.

       Options granted under the Plan to officers, directors or employees of
Holdings may be exercised only while the optionee is employed or retained by    
Holdings or within 90 days of the date of termination of the employment         
relationship or directorship. However, where termination is by reason of death  
or permanent disability of the optionee, options which are exercisable at such  
time may be exercised within 12 months of the date of termination of the        
employment relationship or directorship. Upon the exercise of an option, payment
may be made by cash or by any other means that the board of directors or the    
committee determines. No option may be granted under the Plan after _______,    
2010.                                                                           

         In addition to providing for the granting of options, the Plan provides
for awards of "restricted stock." Such restricted stock will be subject to      
restrictions on transfer and subject to forfeiture upon termination of          
employment, for such periods as shall be specified by board of directors or the 
committee on the granting of each such award of restricted stock.               

    Options or restricted stock may be granted only to such employees,
officers and directors of, and consultants and advisors to, Holdings or any     
subsidiary of Holdings as the board of directors or the committee shall select  
from time to time in its sole discretion, provided that only employees of       
Holdings or a subsidiary of Holdings shall be eligible to receive incentive     
options.                                                                        

    The board of directors may amend or terminate the Plan except that
stockholder approval is required to effect a change so as to increase the       
aggregate number of shares that may be issued under the Plan (unless adjusted to
reflect such changes as a result of a stock dividend, stock split,              
recapitalization, merger or consolidation of Holdings) to modify the            
requirements as to eligibility to receive options, to increase materially the   
benefits accruing to participants or as otherwise may be required by Rule 16b-3 
or Section 422 of the Code. No action taken by the board may materially and     
adversely affect any outstanding option grant without the consent of the        
optionee.                                                                       

        Under current tax law, there are no Federal income tax consequences to
either the employee or Holdings on the grant of non-qualified options if granted
under the terms set forth in the Plan. Upon exercise of a non-qualified option, 
the excess of the fair market value of the shares subject to the option over the
option price (the "Spread") at the date of exercise is taxable as ordinary      
income to the optionee in the year it is exercised and is deductible by Holdings
as compensation for Federal income tax purposes, provided Holdings complies with
applicable withholding and/or reporting rules. The optionee's basis in the      
shares will be equal to the fair market value on the date taxation is imposed   
and the holding period commences on such date.                                  

        Incentive option holders incur no regular Federal income tax liability
at the time of grant or upon exercise of such option, assuming that the optionee
was an employee of Holdings from the date the option was granted until 90 days  
before such exercise. However, upon exercise, the Spread must be added to       
regular Federal taxable income in computing the optionee's "alternative minimum 
tax" liability. An optionee's basis in the shares received on exercise of an    
incentive stock option will be the option price of such shares for regular      
income tax purposes. No deduction is allowable to Holdings for Federal income   
tax purposes in connection with the grant or exercise of such option.           

Transfer Agent                                                                  

    ChaseMellon Shareholder Services, L.L.C., New York, New York, will
serve as transfer agent for the shares of common stock of Holdings.             

COMPARATIVE RIGHTS OF SHAREHOLDERS OF MARGO AND HOLDINGS

    The following is a summary of the material differences between the
current rights of Margo shareholders and the rights they will have as Holdings  
shareholders after the reincorporation merger. The rights of Margo shareholders 
are currently governed by Puerto Rico law, the Margo articles of incorporation  
and the Margo bylaws. Upon completion of the reincorporation merger, holders of 
Margo common stock will become holders of Holdings' common stock and their      
rights will be governed by Delaware law, Holdings' certificate of incorporation 
and Holdings' by-laws.

         Holdings The total authorized capital stock of Holdings consists of 100

Board of Directors                                                              

       Margo. The Margo bylaws provide that the number of directors of Margo
shall be five. The act of the majority of the directors present at a meeting at 
which a quorum is present is the act of the board of directors of Margo. Each   
director shall hold office until the annual meeting of the shareholders next    
succeeding his election and until his successor is elected and qualified, or    
until his prior death, resignation or removal.                                  

      Holdings The Holdings bylaws provide that the number of directors of
Holdings shall be fixed from time to time by the board of directors. The act of 
the majority of the directors present at a meeting at which a quorum is present 
is the act of the board of directors of Holdings. Each director shall hold      
office until the annual meeting of the shareholders next succeeding his election
and until his successor is elected and qualified, or until his prior death,

Newly Created Directorships and Vacancies                                       

Margo. The Margo bylaws provide that any vacancy in the board,
including any vacancy created by reason of an increase in the number of         
directors, may be filed by the affirmative vote of a majority of the remaining  
directors though less than a quorum of the board. A director elected to fill a  
vacancy shall hold office until the next election of directors by the           
shareholders.                                                                   

       Holdings The Holdings bylaws provide that vacancies and newly created
directorships resulting from any increase in the authorized number of directors 
may be filled by a majority of the directors then in office, although less than 
a quorum, or by a sole remaining director. A director elected to fill a vacancy 
shall hold office for the remainder of the full term of the class of directors  
in which the new directorship was created or the vacancy occurred and until such
director's successors shall have been duly elected and qualified, or until their
earlier resignation or removal.                                                 

Removal of Directors

individual director may be removed from office, with or without cause, by a vote

Special Meetings of Shareholders                                                

Margo. The Margo bylaws provide that special meetings of Margo
shareholders shall be held when directed by the President or the Margo board, or
when requested in writing by the holders of not less than 10% of all shares     
entitled to vote at the meeting.                                                

        Holdings The Holdings bylaws provide that special meetings of Holdings
shareholders may be called by the Chairman, the President, any Executive Vice   
President, any Vice President, the Secretary or any Assistant Secretary, and    
shall be called by any such officer at the request in writing of a majority of  
the board of directors or a majority of the shareholders entitled to vote.      

Shareholder Action by Written Consent                                           

       Margo. The Margo bylaws provide that any action required or permitted
to be taken at any meeting of the shareholders may be taken by written consent  
of the holders of outstanding stock having not less than the minimum number of  
votes that would be necessary to take such action at a meeting at which all the 
shares entitled to vote thereon were present and voted.                         

  Holdings The Holdings bylaws provide that any action required or
permitted to be taken at any meeting of the shareholders may be taken by written
consent of the holders of outstanding stock having not less than the minimum    
number of votes that would be necessary to take such action at a meeting at     
which all the shares entitled to vote thereon were present and voted. However,  
if shareholder consent is less than unanimous in electing directors, Delaware   
law provides that written consent may be used provided that all directorships to
which directors could be elected at an annual meeting are vacant and filled by  
such action.                                                                    

Shareholder Proposal and Nomination Procedure                                   

        Margo. The Margo bylaws and certificate of incorporation are silent on
the issue of advance notice of shareholder proposals and director nominations at
annual meetings. The Puerto Rico General Corporations Law does not explicitly   
require that shareholder proposals be the subject of an advance notice to       
shareholders.                                                                   

     Holdings. The Holdings bylaws provide that at any annual meeting of
shareholders, only such business shall be conducted as shall have been: (i)     
specified in the notice of the meeting given by or at the direction of the      
Holdings board; or (ii) otherwise properly brought before the annual meeting by 
a stockholder. The stockholder must give notice of the business proposed to be  
brought before the annual meeting to the secretary of Holdings not less than 50 
days nor more than 60 days prior to the annual meeting and comply with the      
applicable requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.                 

         A stockholder's notice to Holdings' Secretary must describe each matter
the stockholder proposes to bring before the annual meeting, the name and record
address of the stockholder proposing such business, the class and number of our 
shares which are beneficially owned by the stockholder, and any material        
interest of the stockholder in such business.                                   

       Similarly, any stockholder desiring to nominate a person to stand for
election to our board of directors must make a written nomination to our        
Secretary not less than 50 days nor more than 60 days prior to the meeting. The 
notice must set forth (a) as to each person whom the stockholder proposes to    
nominate for election as a director, (i) the name, age, business address, and   
residence address of the nominee, (ii) the principal occupation or employment of
the nominee, (iii) the class and number of our shares which are beneficially    
owned by the nominee, (iv) any other information about the nominee that is      
required to be disclosed in solicitations for proxies for election of directors 
pursuant to Rule 14a under the Securities Exchange Act, and (v) any other       
information about the nominee that is required pursuant to any statute, or any  
rule or regulation of any governmental authority; and (b) as to the stockholder 
giving notice, (i) the name and record address of the stockholder, and (ii) the 
class and number of our shares beneficially owned by the stockholder.

Amendment to Governing Documents                                                

        Margo. The Margo certificate of incorporation provides that the bylaws
shall be subject to alteration, amendment or repeal by either the shareholders  
or directors.                                                                   

       Holdings. The Holdings bylaws provide that the bylaws may be altered,
amended or repealed, in whole or in part, or new bylaws may be adopted by the   
stockholders or by the board of directors, provided that notice of such         
alteration, amendment, repeal or adoption be contained in the notice of such    
meeting of stockholders or directors, as the case may be. All such amendments   
must be approved by either the holders of a majority of the outstanding capital 
stock entitled to vote thereon or by a majority of the entire board of directors
then in office.                                                                 

Antitakeover Provisions                                                         

         Margo. The Margo certificate of incorporation and bylaws do not contain
any provisions with respect to business combinations. Under the Puerto Rico     
General Corporations Law, an agreement of merger, or the sale, lease or exchange
of all or substantially all of a corporation's assets, must be approved by the  
corporation's board of directors and the holders of a majority of the           
outstanding shares of stock entitled to vote thereon. As discussed above, the   
certificate of incorporation provides that the board of directors has the       
authority to issue preferred stock without shareholder approval. Issuance of    
preferred stock could impede or prevent transactions that would result in a     
change of control of Margo.                                                     

       Holdings. The Holdings certificate of incorporation and bylaws do not
contain any provisions with respect to business combinations. Under the Delaware
General Corporation Law, an agreement of merger, or the sale, lease or exchange 
of all or substantially all of a corporation's assets, must be approved by the  
corporation's board of directors and the holders of a majority of the           
outstanding shares of stock entitled to vote thereon. As discussed above, the   
certificate of incorporation provides that the board of directors has the       
authority to issue preferred stock without shareholder approval. Issuance of    
preferred stock could impede or prevent transactions that would result in a     
change of control of Holdings.                                                  

The Delaware General Corporation Law also contains a business 
combination statute, which restricts "business combinations" between a domestic 
corporation and an "interested stockholder." A "business combination" means one 
of various types of transactions, including mergers, that increases the         
proportionate voting power of the interested stockholder. An "interested        
stockholder" means any person, or its affiliate or associate, that owns or      
controls 15% or more of the outstanding shares of the corporation's voting      
stock.                                                                          

 COMPARATIVE RIGHTS OF MEMBERS OF ITRACT
AND SHAREHOLDERS OF HOLDINGS

    The following is a summary of the material differences between the
current rights of itract members and the rights they will have as shareholders  
of Holdings after the mergers. The rights of itract members are currently       
governed by Delaware law (including Delaware's Limited Liability Company Act)   
and itract's Limited Liability Company Agreement. Upon consummation of the      
mergers, itract's sole member will be Holdings, the members of itract           
immediately preceding the mergers will become shareholders of Holdings, and     
their rights will be governed by Delaware law (including the General Corporation
Law), Holdings' certificate of incorporation and by-laws.                       

The following discussion is not intended to be complete and is
qualified in its entirety by reference to itract's Limited Liability Company    
Agreement and the certificate of incorporation and bylaws of Holdings. All      
references below to itract's Limited Liability Company Agreement are references 
to itract's Limited Liability Company Agreement as currently in effect. itract's
Limited Liability Company Agreement will be amended and restated at the         
effective time of the merger as set forth in Exhibit A to the itract merger     
agreement which is attached to this proxy statement/prospectus as Appendix B.

Ownership Interest                                                              

       itract. A member's interest in itract is represented by the ownership
of "units" and such member's capital account. There is no limit on the number of
units of itract that may be issued to members. A member's capital account       
consists of the amount of capital contributed by such member to itract,         
increased for, among other things, allocations of profit, and reduced for, among
other things, allocations of loss and distributions to such member. In general, 
distributions to members are made pro rata according to the number of units held
by each member, provided that distributions are not made to reduce a member's   
capital account below zero unless and until all members' capital accounts have  
been reduced to zero.                                                           

     Holdings. A shareholder's interest in Holding is represented by the
ownership of Holdings capital stock. The total authorized capital stock of      
Holdings consists of 100 million shares of common stock, par value $0.001 per   
share, and 5 million shares of preferred stock, par value $0.001 per share.     
Former members of itract will be issued shares of common stock in the itract    
merger. No shares of preferred stock have been issued or will be issued as a    
result of the mergers. For a more complete description of Holdings' securities, 
see "Description of Holdings Securities."                                       

Management                                                                      

 itract. Under itract's Limited Liability Company Agreement, its
business and affairs are managed by a single Manager, who has full discretion   
make all decisions with respect to its business and broad powers to bind itract.
The Manager may also delegate functions relating to day to day operations to    
officer, agents, consultants and employees.                                     

     Holdings. Under Delaware law and Holdings' bylaws, the business and
affairs of Holdings is managed by or under the direction of its board of        
directors. Under Holdings' bylaws, the number of directors will be fixed from   
time to time by the board of directors. It is expected that following the

types of income realized by them, including compensation, interest, dividends   
and active business income.                                                     

      Holdings. Holdings, as a corporation, is subject to income taxation.
Shareholders of Holdings will not generally be responsible for taxes on         
Holdings' income but will be subject to capital gains tax for gains realized    
upon their disposition of shares of Holdings capital stock. To the extent       
Holdings pays any distributions to its shareholders in a year in which Holdings 
has current or historical earnings and profits, its shareholders will have to   
pay ordinary income tax in respect of such distributions. However, Holdings does
not anticipate paying dividends for the foreseeable future. See "Material

Pro Forma Financial Statements                                                  

Introduction to Pro Forma Financial Statements (Unaudited)                      

 The accompanying unaudited pro forma balance sheet presents the
financial position of Margo and itract as of March 31, 2000, assuming the       
reincorporation merger, the itract merger and the sale of Margo's nursery and   
other subsidiaries have been completed as of the balance sheet date. The pro    
forma statements of operations for the period ended December 31, 1999 and for   
the three months ended March 31, 2000 for Margo and itract, respectively,       
reflect the reincorporation merger, the itract merger and the sale of Margo's   
nursery and other subsidiaries, as if the transactions had occurred on the first
day of the fiscal year presented and carried forward to the interim period      
presented.                                                                      

   The itract merger will be accounted for as a reverse merger. As a
result, itract will be considered to be the acquiring entity and Holdings the   
acquired entity for accounting purposes, even though Holdings' subsidiary is the
legal acquirer. The historical financial information of itract will become the  
historical financial information of Holdings and historical stockholders' equity
and earnings per share prior to the merger have been retroactively restated for 
the equivalent number of shares to be received in the merger. The pro forma     
financial statements subsequent to the itract merger include: (1) the pro forma 
balance sheet as of March 31, 2000, with the net assets of itract at historical 
costs; (2) the pro forma results of operations for the three-month period ended 
March 31, 2000 and for the period ended December 31, 1999.                      

       The pro forma financial information does not purport to be indicative
of the results which would have actually been obtained had such transactions    
been completed as of the assumed dates and for the periods presented or which   
may be obtained in the future.

         (a) Represents the expected sale of Margo's subsidiaries (Margo Nursery
Farms, Inc., Margo Garden Products, Inc., Margo Landscaping and Designs, Inc.,  
Rain Forest Products Group, Inc., Margo Development Corporation and Margo Flora,
Inc.) for an assumed price of $5,000,000 in cash, plus the assumption of debt of
approximately $600,000, pursuant to the terms of the stock purchase agreement   
with Empresas Margo. See (f) below.                                             

         (b) Margo, a Puerto Rico corporation, will merge with and into a wholly
owned subsidiary, Holdings, a Delaware corporation, pursuant to the             
reincorporation merger. As a result of the reincorporation merger, each         
stockholder of Margo will receive one share of Holdings for every Margo share   
that such stockholder owns.                                                     

      (c) Assumes exercise of outstanding stock options to acquire 127,500
shares of Margo common stock. Margo is expected to receive cash of $346,495,    
which will increase common stock by $128 and additional paid-in capital by      
$346,368. Also assumes that no Margo shareholder dissents to the reincorporation
merger and exercises any appraisal rights.                                      

     (d) Assumes Holdings will issue 12,680,057 new shares of its common
stock to itract members in exchange for all of the outstanding units of itract  
and 536,045 shares of its common stock upon the exercise of the outstanding     
warrant issued by itract to InfoSpace. This transaction will increase common    
stock and decrease additional paid-in capital by $13,216.                       

 (e) Elimination of Margo's retained earnings of $426,822 with a
corresponding increase in additional paid-in-capital.                           

       (f) Elimination of Margo's non-recurring loss on sale of subsidiaries
(determined on the basis of the assumed price mentioned in (a) above and the net
assets as of March 31, 2000) revenues and expenses and the elimination of the   
subsidiaries revenues and expenses. Margo acted as a holding company and did not
engage in any substantive business activities.                                  

      (g) Information for itract, which operates on a June 30 fiscal year,
covers the period from May 12, 1999 (inception) to December 31, 1999.           

INFORMATION ABOUT ITRACT

Business Overview                                                               

        itract was formed as a Delaware limited liability company in May 1999.
itract is an Internet based company established to address the needs of small to
medium sized businesses that desire a more efficient and cost effective means to
direct market their products and services. itract's system is intended to allow 
these businesses to analyze, assemble and launch their direct marketing         
campaigns in a simple, low-cost and effective manner. By accessing itract's Web 
site, itract customers will be able to develop and launch comprehensive direct  
marketing campaigns delivering email, fax and traditional postal mail to a      
targeted audience of both on-line and off-line prospective customers. Itract has
completed successful testing of a "beta" version of its software and launched a 
basic "version 1.0" of its system from its Web site (www.itract.com) on June 30,
2000.                                                                           

Industry Overview                                                               

DIRECT MARKETING                                                                

        Direct marketing has traditionally been conducted by mailing marketing
information directly to consumers. More recently, with the growth of the        
Internet and advances in telecommunications technology, direct marketers have   
begun to utilize email and fax machines to deliver their marketing messages to  
prospective customers. According to the Direct Marketing Association, overall   
media spending for direct marketing initiatives reached

$176.5 billion in 1999, up 7.2% over 1998's expenditures. Direct marketing      
advertising expenditures represented 57.1% of total U.S. advertising            
expenditures in 1999. Direct marketing expenditures for business-to-business, at
$90 billion, accounted for 51% of total 1999 direct marketing expenditures.     
According to the Direct Marketing Association, in 1999 a total of $42.2 billion 
was spent on direct mail campaigns, up from $39.3 billion spent in 1998. In     
addition, the Direct Marketing Association also predicts that direct mailing    
expenditures will grow at a rate of 6.2% annually through 2004. Total U.S.      
direct marketing sales business-to-business grew by 10.4% from $626.4 billion in
1998 to $691.6 billion in 1999, and are expected to grow at an annual rate of   
7.4% to $1.17 trillion in 2004.                                                 

The Internet and Email                                                          

The Internet has emerged as a significant tool for global     
communications, commerce and media. The growth of the Internet is the result of 
a number of factors, including the extensive and growing installed base of      
advanced personal computers in the home and workplace, increasingly faster and  
cheaper access to the Internet, improvements in network infrastructure and      
bandwidth, development of Internet-based applications and increasingly useful   
content available online. Email is one of the most popular applications         
associated with the Internet. Increased use of the Internet has resulted in the 
widespread adoption of email as a regular and dependable communications medium. 

   The ability to inexpensively communicate at any time and from any
location with Internet access has resulted in the rapid increase in email use in
recent years. Continued growth in the use of email is being driven by its       
convenience, speed, low cost and the ability to send increasingly large and     
complex files and attachments, including documents, spreadsheets and multimedia.
Today, email is becoming increasingly critical to business-to-consumer and      
business-to-business communications. Forrester Research estimates that three    
billion solicited commercial emails were sent during 1997 and predicts that 250 
billion commercial emails will be sent in 2002 for both consumer and business   
email users.                                                                    

Email Marketing                                                                 

       Consumer marketing has traditionally been conducted through a variety
of media, including direct mail and telephone. The widespread adoption of the   
Internet and email has enabled companies to create new direct marketing and     
communications strategies to target and acquire new customers, as well as       
enhance existing customer relationships. The Direct Marketing Association has   
estimated that approximately $1.3 billion was spent on direct marketing through 
the Internet in 1999 and predicts that this number will grow to $8.6 billion by 
2004. Email marketing and communications strategies are gaining acceptance among
a wide variety of businesses. In a 1999 Forrester Research study, 70% of online 
retail, manufacturing and media companies surveyed indicated that email         
marketing is "important" or "very important" to their sales and marketing       
strategy and that 66% of such companies are using email for promotional         
activities. itract believes that email marketing is more cost effective than    
traditional direct marketing methods and enables significantly faster           
communication with a larger audience.                                           

Fax Marketing                                                                   

         Technological advances over the past decade have improved the speed and
quality of facsimile transmissions and reduced the cost of fax machines to      
consumers, resulting in a large and increasing worldwide installed base of fax  
machines. The proliferation of fax machines and their ease of operation has     
caused fax usage to increase significantly as a principal means of              
business-to-business communications. Declining telephony costs and improved     
transmission technologies have made the transmission of documents by fax a      
cost-effective and preferred alternative to mail, courier and telex services. In
addition, there recently has been a substantial increase in the installed base  
of fax-capable personal computers.                                              

Itract's Business                                                               

 itract's system is being designed to assist small businesses in
analyzing, assembling and delivering targeted direct marketing campaigns without
the high cost, long lead times and production difficulties associated with

traditional direct marketing. itract expects that the ease of use and           
functionality of the itract system will allow customers to increase sales,      
improve effective communication and reduce marketing costs.                     

       itract is developing an all-inclusive Internet based direct marketing
system designed to empower itract's small business customers with the ability to
develop and launch a direct marketing campaign from a single computer, using    
bulk email, "blast" fax mail or traditional postal mail. To utilize the itract  
system, the user will access itract's Web site and upload its authored document,
which may be a marketing announcement, catalog or any other type of business    
message, together with a mailing list. The mailing list, if it is the user's own
list, may consist of a combination of email addresses, fax telephone numbers and
traditional postal addresses. In addition, with version 1.0 of the itract       
system, users will be able to purchase permission-based email mailing lists from
itract. Subsequent upgraded versions of the itract system are intended to       
provide customers with the ability to purchase mailing lists consisting of      
permission based fax numbers or postal addresses. Once the authored document and
mailing list are provided to itract through its Web site, itract's "smart send" 
system is intended to be capable of transmitting the authored document to each  
prospect on the mailing list, through email, fax or traditional postal mail.    
itract's Internet based direct marketing system will simultaneously reach both  
the on-line and off-line marketplace.                                           

     itract will use its best efforts to adhere to all federal and state
laws and regulations relating to the transmission of spam (unsolicited email)   
and faxes. In addition to taking steps to ensure that the itract system is not  
used to transmit unsolicited email or fax, itract will provide every recipient  
of information transmitted through the itract system with the ability to contact
itract at no cost to "opt-out" of receiving future solicitations through itract.
Furthermore, itract will create its own proprietary "opt-in" mailing list       
database consisting of individuals who have registered with itract on its Web   
site.                                                                           

         Finally, while not available on version 1.0, itract expects that future
upgrades of its system will incorporate a rewards/incentives program and include
reporting tools that itract customers will be able to use to increase the       
effectiveness of their direct marketing campaigns.                              

LIST RENTAL/PURCHASE                                                            

       An integral feature of itract's system will be the ability to provide
users, for a fee, with targeted mailing lists (initially consisting of email    
addresses) which may be purchased directly from itract on its Web site.         
Subsequent versions of the itract system are intended to allow users to purchase
fax numbers and postal addresses from a choice of list companies available      
through itract's Web site. In addition, in the future, itract customers will be 
able to purchase itract's proprietary, permission based mailing list, which it  
will compile from information provided directly to itract by individuals        
accessing itract's Web site. To date, itract has entered into agreements with   
two list provider companies. Both of these agreements are for a three-year      
period. One of these agreements is with a provider of permission-based email    
listings, and the other with a provider of permission-based fax listings. Under 
these agreements, itract, at no initial cost, has been granted the nonexclusive 
right to resell such mailing lists to its customers, and pays the list providers
royalties upon sales to itract customers. itract may enter into agreements with 
other list provider companies which require itract to pay initial licensing     
fees. Using features expected to be accessible on its Web site, itract users    
will be able to construct mailing lists tailored to their demographic,          
geographic, product and/or service specifications.                              

      In addition to providing users with targeted mailing lists, itract's
Web site is intended to allow customers to manage, analyze, search and          
manipulate the data contained in their contact lists (whether or not purchased  
from itract).                                                                   

FREERIDE.COM(R)REWARDS PROGRAM                                                  

To generate increased use and loyalty, the itract system will 
incorporate a rewards and loyalty points program. To this end, itract has       
entered into an agreement with FreeRide.com, LLC, an established online rewards 
and loyalty points program organization. Rewards points provided through        
FreeRide will be used in three ways. To generate increased response rates,      
itract customers will be able to provide prospects that respond to its direct   
marketing efforts with rewards points. itract customers will also earn rewards  
points for utilizing the itract system. In addition, anyone

who registers for itract's permission-based registry will be eligible to        
instantly receive reward points. Reward points will be redeemable at both online
and offline retailers that participate in FreeRide's program, as well as for    
itract services. Under the terms of this agreement, itract will pay FreeRide a  
specified price for each "Point" awarded by itract under the agreement.         

SPAM PRECAUTIONS, ANTI-SPAM REGISTRY                                            

     All email lists provided by itract, including those lists purchased
from third party list providers, will be designed, to the greatest extent       
practicable, to include only prospects that have specifically requested to      
receive information of interest or have been given the option to opt out from   
receiving information but have not done so. All fax mailing lists provided by   
itract will be purchased from third party list providers which represent that   
such lists only include prospects that have specifically requested to receive   
information of interest. In addition, all recipients of information email or    
faxes through the itract system will be given the option, by accessing itract's 
Web site, to "opt out" from receiving future unsolicited information of the     
nature received, and/or opting in to receiving future solicitations in specific 
categories of interest. To encourage individuals to provide itract with specific
opt in information, as well as basic personal information such as name, address,
phone and fax numbers and email address, itract intends to award FreeRide(R)    
Points to individuals providing itract with such information. In this manner,   
itract will be able to build both an "Anti-Spam registry" (containing the names 
of individuals who have requested not to receive information), and a proprietary
permission based database consisting of the individuals who have "opted in."    

        The Anti-Spam registry will be used by itract customers (whether using
their own or purchased mailing lists) to ensure that individuals in the registry
who have so requested do not receive unsolicited information. Moreover,         
customers using the itract system with their own mailing lists will be required 
to acknowledge an "anti-spam" disclaimer that will appear on screen before      
continuing. Accordingly, the itract system will attempt to minimize the legal   
and ethical issues related to the transmission of spam (unsolicited mass email  
or fax).                                                                        

Revenue Sources                                                                 

        itract intends to generate revenue from multiple sources. itract users
will be charged both an annual subscription fee (currently anticipated to be    
$49.95) and a transmission fee for each email, fax and piece of postal mail     
delivered by itract. In addition, itract will charge its customers for its      
internally produced permission-based mailing list databases, and itract will    
earn commissions on mailing lists purchased by itract users through itract's Web
site from third party list companies. itract will also charge its customers who 
purchase reward points for use in their direct marketing campaigns.             

ITRACT PRIVATE LABEL PROGRAM                                                    

       itract intends to generate additional revenues from its private label
program, pursuant to which itract will enter into agreements with strategic     
partners to provide them with "private label" versions of the itract system     
which will be accessible from the Web site of such third parties. In addition to
maintenance and development fees that these parties will be required to pay to  
itract for itract's development and management of these private label Web sites,
revenues generated from the itract system through strategic partners' Web sites 
will be shared with itract according to contracted for rates. In this manner,   
itract's private label program will enable it to gain access to customers that  
may not otherwise have utilized the itract solution from itract's own Web site. 

Itract Sales and Marketing

1. Web site Sales                                             

         itract's Web site (www.itract.com) is being designed to function as one
of itract's primary sales methods. A major marketing goal is to drive traffic to
the itract Web site. The "front end" of the Web site is being designed to sell  
itract services and is the portal to the user site. The member site will be     
designed for functional ease-of-use and generation of renewal income.           

    The front end of the itract Web site is being designed to grab the
customer's attention in the first few seconds. itract believes it succinctly    
articulates the benefits of the itract system and will encourage customers to   
purchase its online services. A prospect will be able to visit the itract Web   
site for the first time, purchase credits and mount a direct marketing campaign 
all on the same day. On every page of the itract Web site, the user will have   
the opportunity to purchase itract's services. A specially created navigation   
bar provides users with immediate access to the information they require.       
itract's sales promotion/service description, pricing, ordering, help desk, and 
contact information are all specially designed to be user friendly.             

        An integral part of the itract Web site will be the member site, which
itract believes will be highly sophisticated yet easy-to-use. The member site is
being designed from the user point of view. A step-by-step process will walk the
customer through importing and building its mailing lists, attaching documents, 
adding rewards points and transmitting the data to user-specific groups designed
by the customer.                                                                

       The member site will be designed to generate renewal revenue. It will
include an automated function, which notifies the customer when it has fallen   
below a predetermined number of credits in its account. This message will prompt
the customer to purchase more credits at that time and reward the customer with 
bonus e-mail credits or reward points for doing so. There will be a hyper-link  
directly into the "Purchase More Credits" function of the member site, where the
customer will be able to purchase more credits.                                 

2. Private Label Program                                      

      The itract private label program is being designed to facilitate the
creation of strategic relationships with companies that private label itract's  
services. The private label program will allow these companies to market the    
itract facility from their own Web site and under their own name to their       
existing customer base. This is intended to permit increased sales of itract's  
services while keeping direct sales costs low. By partnering with companies that
target particular industry segments, itract believes it will gain access to a   
relevant customer base, which in turn will increase itract's online sales.      
Because these partnerships will be performance-based, itract will compensate its
strategic partners only when a purchase is made, making this channel highly     
cost-effective.                                                                 

itract will initially leverage its existing relationship with 
eMarketplaces, Inc., an indirect majority owned subsidiary of ICES.             
eMarketplaces is an e-commerce provider that utilizes proprietary technology to 
create community-oriented, business-to-business electronic marketplaces for     
specific industries. Under an agreement entered into between itract and         
eMarketplaces, itract will provide eMarketplaces with a "private label" version 
of the itract system so that existing customers of eMarketplaces will be able to
purchase itract's services. itract will seek to enter into agreements with other
strategic partners.                                                             

3. Direct Sales                                               

         itract's in-house sales force currently consists of a Vice President of
Marketing and one additional account executive, and itract intends to hire      
additional account executives consistent with its growth needs as required. The 
in-house sales force will focus on strategic selling. itract's initial target   
market will consist of the following:                                           

 Affiliate Programs - itract will seek to enter into one or more
agreements that will provide it access to an "affiliate network" of companies   
doing business on the Internet. These agreements will provide itract with the   
ability to engage network affiliates (for a fee based either on revenues        
generated through such Web site, or customers referred through such Web site or 
other similar criteria) to provide links on their Web sites to itract's Web     
site. In

this manner, if itract is able to successfully engage such affiliates, itract   
will be able to reach prospective customers that may not otherwise have been    
aware of itract's services.                                                     

        On-line and Off-Line Businesses and Services - itract will use its own
itract system to bulk e-mail and fax promotional information regarding the      
itract system's capabilities to on-line and off-line businesses.                

        Trial Offer - itract will make its services available on a trial offer
basis to selected customers at rates below its regular subscription rate        
($49.95), and with a minimum purchase, will give these customers a certain      
number of free e-mails and fax transmissions.                                   

MARKETING                                                                       

       To familiarize the public with the itract system and its capabilities
and build brand awareness, itract has entered into several promotional and      
marketing agreements which will allow itract to incorporate several methods into
its marketing strategy. To this end, itract has entered into agreements with    
both an advertising agency and a public relations agency.                       

 In addition, itract has recently entered into an agreement with
InfoSpace.com, Inc. InfoSpace maintains an Internet content, commerce and       
community Web site. Pursuant to the agreement, InfoSpace will post itract       
promotional placements (which will include textual and graphic links to itract's
Web site) on various locations of its Web site. InfoSpace has committed to      
providing itract a specified number of "impressions" over the two year term of  
the agreement. An "impression" is defined as a user's viewing an InfoSpace Web  
site page that has an itract promotional placement and connecting to itract's   
Web site through such link. itract's sole remedy for InfoSpace's failure to meet
this commitment is the ability of itract to extend the term of the agreement up 
to a maximum of 12 additional months until such commitment is met. As           
consideration for such services, InfoSpace has been granted a warrant to        
purchase for nominal value up to a maximum of approximately 3.52% of the shares 
of Holdings common stock that will be outstanding immediately following the     
itract merger. The warrant will vest over the two-year term of the agreement,   
subject to InfoSpace meeting specified performance targets, measured by the     
number of InfoSpace users viewing the itract promotional placements. In         
addition, under the terms of the warrant, if the itract merger is not           
consummated by August 15, 2000, then such warrant will be canceled, and         
InfoSpace will instead be compensated by monthly cash payments (to the extent   
the contracted performance targets are reached).                                

Technology                                                                      

       itract's proprietary software will be able to interactively determine
the proper delivery method for a client's message. This software is implemented 
in ColdFusion. The itract system was originally developed for itract and has    
been further refined by itract's own programmers with the assistance of         
independent consultants engaged by itract. The system consists of itract's      
proprietary software, which incorporates licensed software for the transmission 
of faxes, linked to a network of web servers, fax servers, and email servers,   
redundantly connected to deliver these messages.                                

       In addition to relying on third parties for the software that enables
the itract system to send faxes through the Internet, itract is dependent on    
support services provided by third parties for the integration of such software 
with itract's hardware and proprietary software. Prior to the launch of "version
1.0" of the itract system, itract anticipated licensing such software and       
obtaining support services from a particular entity which subsequently ceased   
operations. As a result, itract was forced to delay the launch of version 1.0 of
its Web site and incur additional costs. While itract has made alternative      
arrangements to enable the itract system to provide fax capabilities, if        
itract's current service providers were unable to provide itract with the       
services it needs to transmit faxes, itract's business could be disrupted.      

     Clients will be able to upload, and then purchase, contact lists of
various demographic profiles, group these contacts by any methodology they wish,
and then contact any or all of them using the itract system by a simple online  
interface that accepts immediate online input or attachment of a document the   
client has previously authored. itract will handle the delivery of the rendered 
documents to the client's customers.

         itract has contracted with an outside data facility provider to provide
itract with a data facility, located in New York, New York, where itract will   
maintain its Web servers, fax servers and email servers. As both an ISP         
(Internet Service Provider) and CLEC (Competitive Local Exchange Carrier), this 
provider will provide itract with both Internet connectivity for its email      
services and telephony services for fax transmission.                           

Competition                                                                     

         itract will compete both with traditional providers of direct marketing
services and new entrants to the market that provide email and fax direct       
marketing services. In addition, the majority of businesses today use their     
internal email systems to provide solutions to manage and deliver outbound email
campaigns. Many of itract's current and potential competitors have greater name 
recognition, longer operating histories, larger customer bases, and             
significantly greater financial, technological, marketing, public relations,    
sale, distribution and other resources.                                         

      For companies seeking outsourced solutions, itract will compete with
email outsourcing companies that offer services similar to those provided by    
itract, including email distribution, list management and reporting. Key        
competitors include Exactis.com, yesmail.com, Bigfoot International, Digital    
Impact and MessageMedia. Other competitors offer both fax and email service,    
such as Cynet, Inc., 24/7 Media, Net Moves Corp., Click Action, Message Blaster 
and Boomerang.com, and still other competitors of itract provide fax services   
only, such as efax.com. itract will also compete with E-Letter, Inc. an online  
direct mail service company whose service is limited to postal mail.            

   The direct marketing industry in general, and the email marketing
industry in particular, is intensely competitive. The market is highly          
fragmented, with the largest companies accounting for only a small portion of   
the market. There are few barriers to entry, as evidenced by the many new       
entrants to the market, and it is expected that established and new entities    
will continue to enter the market. While itract believes that it may be one of  
the first companies to provide a fully-integrated communications system that    
through email, fax and postal mail, will simultaneously reach the on-line and   
off-line marketplace, there can be no assurance that itract will be able to     
compete effectively with current or future competitors.                         

         itract's ability to compete will depend on the success of its sales and
marketing efforts, and will further depend upon itract's ability to offer:      

o        technical expertise;                                 

o        consistent and reliable service;                     

o        features and functionality;                          

o        full service solutions; and                          

o        direct marketing expertise.                          

Intellectual Property Rights                                                    

     itract's success and ability to compete are substantially dependent
upon its technology and intellectual property. While itract relies on copyright,
trade secret and trademark law to protect its technology and intellectual       
property, itract believes that factors such as the technological and creative   
skills of its personnel, new product and service developments, frequent product 
and service enhancements and reliable product and service maintenance are more  
essential to establishing and maintaining an intellectual property leadership   
position. itract has one trademark application pending for the mark "itract" and
has no patents or patent applications pending. Others may develop products and  
services that are similar or superior to those provided by itract.              

        itract has entered into confidentiality agreements with its employees,
consultants and corporate partners and intends to control access to, and        
distribution of its products, documentation and other proprietary information.

Despite itract's efforts to protect its proprietary rights, unauthorized parties
may attempt to copy or otherwise obtain and use its products, services or       
technology. Policing unauthorized use of proprietary information is difficult,  
and the steps itract has taken might not prevent misappropriation of its        
technology, particularly in foreign countries where the laws may not protect its
proprietary rights as fully as do the laws of the United States.                

         Substantial litigation regarding intellectual property rights exists in
the technology industry. From time to time, third parties may assert exclusive  
patent, copyright, trademark and other intellectual property rights to          
technologies and related standards that are important to itract. itract may     
increasingly be subject to infringement claims as the number of competitors in  
its industry segments grows and the functionality of products in different      
industry segments overlaps. In addition, many of itract's competitors may have  
filed or intend to file patent applications covering aspects of their technology
that they may claim itract's intellectual property infringes. Although itract   
has not been party to any litigation asserting claims that allege infringement  
of intellectual property rights, there can be no assurance that itract will not 
be a party to litigation in the future. Any third party claims, with or without 
merit, could be time-consuming to defend, result in costly litigation, divert   
management's attention and resources, cause product introduction delays or      
require itract to enter into royalty or licensing agreements. Such royalty or   
licensing agreements, if required, may not be available on terms acceptable to  
itract, if at all. A successful claim of product infringement against itract    
could harm itract's business.                                                   

Government Regulation                                                           

         There is a growing body of laws and regulations applicable to access to
or commerce on the Internet. Due to the increasing popularity and use of the    
Internet, it is likely that a growing number of laws and regulations will be    
adopted at the international, federal, state and local level with respect to the
Internet or direct marketing services covering issues such as user privacy,     
pricing, content, copyrights, distribution, and characteristics and quality of  
products and services. Further, the growth and development of the market for    
email direct marketing may prompt calls for more stringent consumer protection  
laws that may impose additional burdens on those companies conducting business  
online. The adoption of any additional laws or regulations may impair the growth
of the Internet or email direct marketing, which could, in turn, decrease the   
demand for itract's products and services and increase itract's cost of doing   
business, or otherwise harm its business. Moreover, the applicability to the    
Internet of existing laws in various jurisdictions governing issues such as     
property ownership, sales and other taxes, libel and personal privacy is        
uncertain and may take years to resolve. Any such new legislation or regulation,
the application of laws and regulations from jurisdictions whose laws do not    
currently apply to itract's business or the application of existing laws and    
regulations to the Internet could harm itract's business.                       

         Legislation has recently been enacted in several states relating to the
sending of unsolicited emails, a practice commonly referred to as "spamming."   
The federal government and several states, including New York, are considering, 
or have considered, similar legislation. Although the provisions of these       
current and contemplated laws vary, they generally limit or prohibit both the   
transmission of unsolicited emails and the use of familiar spamming techniques  
such as the use of forged or fraudulent routing and header information. Some    
states, including California, require that unsolicited emails include opt-out   
instructions and that senders of such emails honor any opt-out requests, a      
requirement that is consistent with itract's own permission email policies.     
itract believe that its permission-based email system will not be affected by   
such legislation because it does not send unsolicited messages and because its  
current practices are intended to comply with current and proposed legislation. 
However, if itract is unable to prevent the transmission of unsolicited email,  
it may be subject to claims for violations by its customers of federal or state 
civil or criminal law. In addition, there can be no assurance that such         
legislation or similar legislation will not also affect permission-based email  
marketing in a way that could force itract to change its business practices,    
particularly in light of the rapidly evolving state of the law in this area. In 
such event, itract's business could suffer.                                     

         In addition to the laws regulating the Internet and the transmission of
email, Federal law makes it unlawful to use a computer or other device to send  
an unsolicited advertisement to a telephone facsimile machine, and provides a   
private right of action to recover $500 for each violation of this law. To the  
extent itract sells fax numbers to its customers, itract intends that all such  
numbers will belong to individuals that have explicitly agreed to receive       
advertisements transmitted to their fax machines. In addition, itract will      
require its customers that use their own fax mailing lists to acknowledge that  
such list consist only of individuals that have agreed to receive the           
information

being transmitted. However, despite itract's efforts, there can be no assurance 
that itract will be able to comply with the law, and itract may also be held    
responsible for violations of its customers. If itract is found to have violated
this federal law, itract may have to pay significant damages, its reputation    
will be harmed and its business will suffer.                                    

Employees and Facilities                                                        

       itract employs seven full-time employees, who are located at itract's
principal executive offices at 220 West 19th Street, 12th Floor, New York, New  
York 10011. itract occupies these facilities pursuant to an occupancy agreement 
with its indirect majority owner, ICES. Under such agreement, itract pays ICES a
monthly amount based on the number of itract employees located at these         
facilities. ICES does not have a current lease for these premises and has been  
served with a notice of eviction, although ICES is in negotiations with the     
landlord for the lease of such premises. itract believes that if it is forced to
vacate the premises at 220 West 19th Street, it will be able to find suitable   
replacement offices, although the terms of any such agreement may be at a       
greater cost than itract's current occupancy agreement. itract's telephone      
number is (212) 647-8483. itract's home page is located at www.itract.com.      
Information contained on itract's Web site shall not be deemed a part of this   
prospectus/proxy statement.                                                     

Legal Proceedings                                                               

    itract is not currently a party to any material legal proceedings.

Certain Relationships and Related Transactions                                  

     ICES, through its subsidiary The TechDepartment.com Inc., currently
owns approximately 91.7% of itract's outstanding membership units. Upon the     
consummation of the itract merger, TechDepartment.com Inc. will own             
approximately 80% of the outstanding common stock of Holdings. ICES develops,   
invests in, and operates Internet technology related companies.                 

     Henry Kauftheil is currently the sole manager of itract and, at the
effective time of the itract merger, will be the Chairman of the Board of       
Holdings. Mr. Kauftheil is also the sole director of The TechDepartment.com and 
the Chairman and a controlling shareholder of ICES.                             

         itract currently occupies space previously leased by ICES, for which it
pays ICES a monthly amount based on the number of itract employees located at   
these facilities. Such amount was approximately $5,600 for the month of May, and
may increase as itract employs additional personnel. See "Employees and         
Facilities."                                                                    

       Pursuant to a written agreement dated as of May 12, 1999, itract pays
ICES a monthly fee of $10,000 in consideration of certain services provided by  
ICES to itract, including investment banking, legal and accounting services.    

  itract also is a party to an agreement with CoreActive ACG, LLC,
another majority-owned subsidiary of ICES, pursuant to which itract pays        
CoreActive $850 per month for each itract employee that utilizes computer       
hardware, software and network services provided by CoreActive.                 

  itract has also compensated CoreActive ACG, LLC in the amount of
$485,000 in connection with the development of certain components of the itract 
system by employees of ICES and certain of its affiliates. ICES and these       
affiliates have executed an Assignment of Intellectual Property pursuant to     
which ICES and such affiliates have conveyed all of their rights in the itract  
system to itract.                                                               

       In connection with the agreements and obligations described above, at
March 31, 2000, itract owed ICES and certain of its affiliates the aggregate    
amount of $1,003,103. Pursuant to the Agreement and Plan of Merger, itract has  
agreed that prior to the effective time of the itract merger, all amounts owed  
by itract to ICES and its affiliates at February 29, 2000 will be discharged and
converted into capital contributions to itract, except for the amount of        
$525,000 (plus interest) payable to CoreActive on demand.

Executive Compensation                                                          

      No executive compensation was paid during the fiscal year ended June
30, 1999. Certain entities controlled by Henry Kauftheil, the Manager of itract,
received fees from itract for the year ended June 30, 1999, as set forth under  
"Certain Relationships and Related Transactions." Upon the consummation of the  
itract merger, the limited liability company agreement of itract will be amended
to provide, among other things, that the business and affairs of itract be      
managed and controlled by its sole member, Holdings, eliminating the position of
"Manager." Accordingly, after the merger, Mr. Kauftheil will cease to be the    
Manager of itract, although it is anticipated that Mr. Kauftheil will serve as  
the Chairman of the Board of Holdings, following the merger.

those discussed in this section and elsewhere in this filing, including those   
discussed under "Risks Associated With itract's Business." Readers are cautioned
not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which reflect  
itract management's analysis, judgement, belief or expectation only as of the   
date hereof. itract undertakes no obligation to publicly revise these           
forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances that arise after  
the date hereof.                                                                

Overview                                                                        

         itract was formed as a Delaware limited liability company and commenced
operations in May 1999. itract is a development stage company and it is a member
of an affiliated group of companies under common control of its indirect parent,
ICES. itract has a fiscal year ending June 30.                                  

   itract's system is being designed to provide a cost effective and
efficient means for its customers to direct market their products and services. 
By accessing itract's Web site, itract's customers will be able to develop and  
launch comprehensive direct marketing campaigns delivering e-mail, fax and      
traditional postal mail to a targeted audience of both on-line and off-line     
prospective customers. itract has completed successful testing of a "beta"      
version of its software and launched a basic "version 1.0" of its system from   
its Web site (www.itract.com) on June 30, 2000.                                 

         itract intends to generate revenues from multiple sources. itract users
will enter into subscription agreements with itract (currently anticipated at   
$49.95 per annum) for unlimited access to itract's system. A transmission fee   
will be charged for each e-mail, fax and piece of postal mail delivered by      
itract. In addition, itract will charge its customers for its internally        
produced permission-based mailing list databases, and itract will earn          
commissions on mailing lists purchased by itract's users through its Web site   
from third party list companies. itract also intends to charge its customers who
purchase reward points for use in their direct marketing campaigns. itract      
expects its e-commerce transactions to generate substantially all of itract's   
revenues in the future. However, to the extent that the number of subscribed    
users of itract's system is less than anticipated or that such users do not     
engage the anticipated volume of e-commerce transactions, revenues generated by 
itract's system will be less than projected.                                    

      itract also anticipates deriving additional revenue from its private
label program pursuant to which itract will enter into agreements with strategic
partners to provide them with "private label" versions of the itract system     
which will be accessible from the Web site of such third parties. In this       
manner, itract's private label program will enable it to gain access to         
customers that may not otherwise have utilized the itract system from itract's  
own Web site.                                                                   

itract believes that the continued expansion of its operations and
marketing efforts is essential to achieving its financial goals. itract         
therefore intends to continue to increase expenditures in all areas of its      
operations, resulting in continued increases in cost of revenues and selling,   
general and administrative expenses.                                            

Historical Results of Operations                                                

         Historical Comparison of the six months ended December 31, 1999 and the
three months ended March 31, 2000.                                              

Revenue                                                                         

    itract has had no revenue to date. itract anticipates that it will
begin to generate revenues following the launch of its Web site on June 30,     
2000.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses                                    

         Selling and marketing expenses consist of salaries, travel expenses for
sales staff, marketing expenses for itract's system, marketing materials and    
promotions. Sales and marketing expenses amounted to $18,673, for the six months
ended December 31, 1999, and $76,385, for the three months ended March 31, 2000.
The increase is consistent with itract's plan, which commenced during the first 
quarter of 2000, to build an infrastructure and to market its system            
aggressively, in order to increase the number of strategic alliances, value     
added services, and ultimately, the number of users. As itract continues to     
expand sales and launch new services, itract expects to incur significant       
promotional expenses as well as expenses related to the hiring of additional    
sales and marketing personnel, increased advertising, public relations campaigns
and events marketing. itract anticipates that these costs will substantially    
increase in future periods.                                                     

       General and administrative expenses consist primarily of salaries and
related costs for general corporate functions, including executive, finance,    
administration, facilities and fees for professional services. General and      
administrative expenses amounted to $169,198, for the six months ended December 
31, 1999, and $722,229, for the three months ended March 31, 2000. This increase
is primarily due to a non-cash compensation charge of $546,525 as a result of   
the issuance of membership units as payment for services rendered, expenses due 
to the hiring of additional personnel between January 1, 2000 and March 31, 2000
and the increase in overhead and support services necessary to support          
operations. itract anticipates that its general and administrative expenses will
continue to increase significantly as itract expands its infrastructure and     
administrative staff.                                                           

Provision for Income Taxes                                                      

     No provision is required to be made by itract for Federal and State
income taxes. Under the Internal Revenue Code and similar state regulations,    
itract has elected to be treated as a partnership; accordingly, the income of   
itract is taxed to its members.                                                 

Liquidity and Capital Resources                                                 

    Since inception, itract has funded its operations, working capital
needs and capital expenditures through loans and advances from its indirect     
parent, ICES and affiliates of ICES. On February 24, 2000, in conjunction with  
the proposed merger with Margo, ICES issued $2,000,000 in convertible notes to  
certain shareholders of Margo. The proceeds of these notes are to be used to    
fund the operations of itract on an as-needed basis until the effective time of 
the itract merger. As of March 31, 2000, itract had cash and cash equivalents of
$7,523 as compared to total liabilities of $1,185,347.                          

         itract's outstanding liabilities are principally comprised of loans and
advances due to ICES and affiliates of ICES. Pursuant to the Agreement and Plan 
of Merger, itract has agreed that prior to the effective time of the itract     
merger, all amounts owed by itract to ICES and its affiliates at February 29,   
2000 will be discharged and converted into capital contributions to itract,     
except for $525,000 (plus interest) representing principally the amount incurred
by itract for the development of its Web site, which amount shall be payable on 
demand to CoreActive ACG, LLC, an affiliate of ICES.                            

  itract anticipates that it will continue to increase its capital
expenditures in the near future due to anticipated growth in its operations,    
infrastructure and personnel. In addition to any future commitments for capital 
expenditures relating to leaseholds, improvements to infrastructure, additional 
licenses for interactive elements (including content management software) and   
Web site development and security, capital expenditures are expected to average 
$208,000 monthly through the third quarter of the year 2000.                    

        Sales and marketing expenditures are expected to average $ 740,000 per
month through the third quarter of the year 2000 in order to reach projected    
levels of registered users, traffic and revenue from e-commerce transactions on 
the itract system.

     Subsequent to March 31, 2000, itract entered into an agreement with
InfoSpace pursuant to which InfoSpace will post itract promotional placements on
various locations of its Web site. As consideration for such services, InfoSpace
has been granted a warrant to purchase, for nominal value, up to 3.52% of the   
shares of Holdings' common stock that will be available immediately following   
the itract merger. The warrant will vest over the two-year term of the agreement
subject to InfoSpace meeting specified performance targets. In addition, under  
the terms of such agreement, if the itract merger is not consummated by August  
15, 2000, then such warrant will be cancelled and InfoSpace will instead be     
compensated by monthly cash payments (to the extent the contracted performance  
targets are reached).                                                           

         To date, the $2,000,000 advanced by ICES for purposes of funding itract
has been sufficient to meet itract's working capital and capital expenditure    
needs. However, if the itract merger is not consummated, the cash anticipated to
be generated from itract's operations will be insufficient to satisfy its       
liquidity requirements after September 2000, and itract would need to receive   
additional loans and advances, sell its securities or modify its growth         
strategy.                                                                       

        Upon completion of the itract merger, Holdings will have $5,000,000 in
cash, less the amounts previously advanced by ICES. It is anticipated that cash 
balances on hand at the effective time of the itract merger together with the   
anticipated cash flow from operations will be sufficient to fund working capital
and capital expenditures through June 30, 2001.                                 

However, itract's capital requirements are subject to numerous
contingencies associated with early stage companies. itract may be required to  
seek additional financing in the event of delays, cost overruns or unanticipated
expenses associated with a company in an early stage of development or in the   
event itract does not realize anticipated revenues. To the extent that the      
number of subscribed users of the itract system is less than anticipated or that
such users do not engage in the anticipated volume of e-commerce transactions,  
cash flows generated by the itract system will be less than projected. In       
addition, itract may seek financing in the future to expand its service         
offerings or to make strategic acquisitions. There can be no assurance that such
financing will be available, or that, if available, such financing will be on   
terms favorable to itract. Such financing may include the issuance of equity    
securities which may result in dilution to the shareholders of Holdings.        
Further, if Holdings raises funds by issuing debt, limitations may be placed on 
its operations. Failure to obtain financing may impact itract's ability to      
respond to competitive pressures or to take advantage of strategic              
opportunities.                                                                  

Web site Development Costs                                                      

      Costs incurred to develop itract's Web site have been capitalized or
expensed based upon guidelines issued by the Emerging Issues Task Force         
Consensus Issue No. 00-2. All costs associated with the planning stage, totaling
$296,767 through March 31, 2000, have been expensed as incurred. Costs incurred 
in the Web site application and infrastructure, graphics and content development
stages, totaling $370,520 through March 31, 2000, have been capitalized.        

Recently Issued Accounting Standards                                            

        In June 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued SFAS No.
133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities." SFAS 133   
establishes accounting and reporting standards for derivative instruments,      
including certain derivative instruments imbedded in other contracts            
(collectively referred to as derivatives) and for hedging activities. SFAS 133  
requires the recognition of all derivatives as either assets or liabilities in  
the statement of financial position and the measurement of those instruments at 
fair value. SFAS No. 133, as amended by SFAS No. 137, is effective for all      
fiscal quarters of all fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2000. As itract    
does not engage or plan to engage in derivative or hedging activities, there    
will be no impact to itract's results of operations, financial position or cash 
flows upon the adoption of this standard.                                       

    itract implemented the provisions of Statement of Position ("SOP")
98-5, "Reporting on the Costs of Start-up Activities," effective May 1999. SOP  
98-5, issued by the Accounting Standards Executive Committee of the American    
Institute of Certified Public Accountants, requires that the costs of all       
start-up activities, as defined in the

SOP, be expensed as incurred. The adoption of the provisions of this SOP did not
materially impact the results of operations or the financial position of itract.

     In October 1999, the Chief Accountant of the SEC requested that the
Financial Accounting Standards Board Emerging Issues Task Force ( the "EITF" )  
address a number of accounting and financial reporting issues that the SEC      
believes has developed with respect to Internet businesses. The SEC identified  
twenty issues for which they believed some form of standard setting or guidance 
may be appropriate either because (i) there appeared to be diversity in practice
or (ii) the issues are not specifically addressed in current accounting         
literature or (iii) the SEC Staff is concerned that developing practice may be  
inappropriate under generally accepted accounting principles. Many of the issues
identified by the SEC, including those which address barter and revenue         
recognition, are potentially applicable to itract. Although the EITF has begun  
to deliberate these issues, formal guidance has not been issued to date for the 
majority of them. In addition, in December 1999, the SEC Staff issued Staff     
Accounting Bulletin ("SAB") No. 101, "Revenue Recognition in Financial          
Statements", which is required to be implemented in the quarter ended March 31, 
2000. Although itract believes its historical accounting policies and practices 
conform with generally accepted accounting principles, there can be no assurance
that the final consensus reached by the EITF on the Internet issues referred to 
above, or other actions by standard setting bodies will not result in changes to
itract's historical accounting policies and practices or to the manner in which 
certain transactions are presented and disclosed in itract's consolidated

Puerto Rico Operations                                                          

       Margo's operations in Puerto Rico are conducted at a 117 acre nursery
farm in Vega Alta, Puerto Rico, approximately 25 miles west of San Juan, and a  
13 acre nursery in the Municipality of Barranquitas, Puerto Rico. The 117 acre  
farm is leased from Michael J. Spector and Margaret D. Spector, who are         
directors, officers and principal shareholders of Margo. See "Certain           
Relationships and Related Transactions -- Lease and Option to Purchase Main

is leased from Cali Orchids, Inc., an unrelated third party.                    

     Margo is engaged in the production and distribution of tropical and
flowering plants. Its products are primarily utilized for the interior and      
exterior landscaping of office buildings, shopping malls, hotels and other      
commercial sites, as well as private residences. In Vega Alta, Margo produces

ornamental plants, trees, shrubs, bedding plants and ground covers. In          
Barranquitas, Margo produces orchids, bromelias, anthuriums, spathiphylum and   
poincettias. Its customers include wholesalers, retailers, chain stores and     
landscapers primarily located in Puerto Rico and the Caribbean. Margo enjoys a  
90% tax exemption under Puerto Rico law from income derived from its nursery    
business in Puerto Rico.                                                        

         Margo is a supplier of plants and lawn and garden products for The Home
Depot Puerto Rico, the largest mainland retailer of lawn and garden products    
according to Nursery Retailer magazine. As of May 15, 2000, Home Depot had      
opened two stores, and has announced plans to open seven additional stores in   
Puerto Rico over the next three years. During the third quarter of 1999, Margo  
became the largest supplier of live goods (plant material) to WalMart Stores,   
which presently has nine stores throughout Puerto Rico.                         

         Margo provides landscaping services to customers in Puerto Rico and the
Caribbean, including commercial as well as residential landscape design and     
landscaping.                                                                    

  Margo is engaged in sales of lawn and garden products, including
plastic and terracotta pottery, planting media, such as soil and peat moss, and 
mulch. Among the various lawn and garden product lines it distributes, Margo is 
the exclusive distributor of Sunniland Corporation's fertilizer and pesticide   
products as well as DEROMA Italian terracotta pottery for Puerto Rico and the   
Caribbean.                                                                      

     Margo is also engaged in the manufacturing of potting soils, mulch,
professional growing mixes, river rock and gravels.                             

South Florida Operation                                                         

       On August 15, 1997, after a review of Margo's South Florida operation
and in view of the strong competition in that market, Margo's board of directors
made the determination to close its operation in South Florida effective        
September 30, 1997, and dispose of all related assets. On September 29 and      
November 28, 1997, Margo sold the two nursery farms which comprised Margo's     
facilities in South Florida.                                                    

Production                                                                      

     Margo's plants are propagated by using cuttings, plugs, liners, air
layers, seeds and tissue cultures. Cuttings are obtained from Margo's own stock 
plants and from other nurseries for growout at Margo's facilities. The newly    
planted cuttings take from two months to five years to mature into finished     
products, depending on variety. Bedding plants and annuals take from four to    
eight weeks to mature.                                                          

       Margo's products are either field grown or container grown, depending
on the variety of plants and where they are grown. Most of these products start 
out in small pots and are "stepped up" to larger pot sizes over time. Margo     
produces both field and container grown material, as well as flowering, bedding 
plants and hanging baskets.                                                     

Marketing                                                                       

     Margo's marketing efforts have been primarily directed at customers
throughout Puerto Rico and the Caribbean.                                       

       The principal customers of Margo are wholesalers, mass merchandisers,
chain stores, retailers, garden centers, hotels, landscapers, government        
projects and commercial businesses located in Puerto Rico and the Caribbean.    
Margo targets construction and government projects which require extensive      
landscaping. In addition, Landscaping provides landscaping design, installation 
and maintenance services which complement the sales function. For large         
retailers in Puerto Rico (such as The Home Depot, WalMart Stores, Kmart, and    
Masso Expo), Margo develops promotional programs which include deliveries to    
customer outlets and special pricing based on volume.                           

       For the three months ended March 31, 2000 and the year ended December
31, 1999, Margo's two largest customers accounted for approximately 16% and 26%,
respectively, of Margo's net sales. The Home Depot

accounted for approximately 28% and 26% and WalMart Stores accounted for        
approximately 8% and 12% of Margo's net sales for the three months ended March  
31, 2000 and the year ended December 31, 1999, respectively.                    

   During 1998 and 1997, Margo's single largest customer, Masso Expo
(formerly Builders Square) accounted for approximately 13% and 24%,             
respectively, of Margo's net sales.                                             

         Margo does not have any significant delivery contracts extending over a
one year period with customers, including landscaping contracts.

Trade Names and Trademark                                                       

   Margo utilizes the Trade Names "Margo Farms" and "Margo Farms del
Caribe", and has registered the name "Margo Farms" as a trademark with the      
United States Department of Commerce Patent and Trademark Office. In addition,  
Margo has registered "Margo Farms del Caribe" (as a trade name) and "Rain       
Forest" (as a trademark) with the Department of State of the Commonwealth of    
Puerto Rico.                                                                    

Competition                                                                     

     At the present time, Margo's sales efforts are primarily focused in
Puerto Rico and the Caribbean. Margo enjoys an advantage over its competitors   
because it is the largest producer of quality nursery products in Puerto Rico.  
Margo continues expanding its operations in Puerto Rico. Most of Margo's        
competitors in Puerto Rico and the Caribbean are small nurseries and            
landscapers.

Seasonality                                                                     

    The demand for plants in Puerto Rico is year round, with increased
demand during spring, late fall and winter.                                     

Working Capital Requirements of the Industry                                    

         The nursery industry requires producers to maintain large quantities of
stock plants and inventory to meet customer demand and to assure a new source of
products in the future. As a result, producers need to invest significant       
amounts of capital in stock plants and inventory. Should the itract merger not  
be consummated for any reason, Margo believes that it has sufficient working    
capital for its existing nursery operations from cash flow generated from       
operations and short-term borrowings.                                           

Employees                                                                       

         At March 31, 2000, Margo had 183 full time employees, of which 163 were
directly involved in nursery production activities, and 20 in sales, accounting 
and administration. None of its employees are represented by a union.           

Government Regulation                                                           

        The United States Department of Agriculture ("USDA") inspects cuttings
imported into the United States by Margo. In addition, USDA regulations control 
various aspects of Margo's plant production process, including restrictions on  
the types of pesticides and fertilizers. All pesticides and fertilizers utilized
by Margo are approved by the Environmental Protection Agency, as required by    
USDA regulations. The USDA prohibits the importation of foreign soil into the   
United States and limits the size of plants that can be imported into the United
States. Puerto Rico is considered part of the United States for purposes of the 
USDA regulations.                                                               

     Shipments of products may also be subject to inspections by certain
Puerto Rico or state officials. These officials may quarantine or destroy plants
that are contaminated or infected by hazardous organisms.                       

      Margo's operations are subject to the Fair Labor Standards Act which
governs such matters as minimum wage requirements, overtime and other working   
conditions. A large number of Margo's personnel are paid at or just above the   
federal minimum wage level and, accordingly, changes in such minimum wage rate  
have an adverse effect on Margo's labor costs.                                  

Natural Hazards                                                                 

Margo's operations are vulnerable to severe weather, such as  
hurricanes, floods, storms and, to a lesser extent, plant disease and pests.    
Margo believes that it currently maintains adequate insurance coverage for its  
facilities and equipment. As of May 14, 2000, Margo had been unable to obtain   
adequate crop and business interruption insurance coverage at a reasonable cost.
Margo intends to continue to seek to obtain crop and business interruption      
insurance coverage at reasonable rates. However, no assurance can be given that 
Margo will be able to obtain such insurance coverages.                          

   Margo believes it has taken reasonable precautions to protect its
plants and operations from natural hazards. Margo's newer facilities are being  
constructed with fabricated steel in an attempt to reduce the damage from any   
future storms. Each of Margo's locations currently has access to a plentiful    
water supply and facilities for the protection of many of their weathersensitive
plants.

Industry Segments                                                               

         Margo has three reportable segments identified by line of business: the
production and marketing of tropical and flowering plants, the sale of related  
lawn and garden products and the provision of landscaping services. Certain     
financial information concerning this industry segment is set forth in          
Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of      
Operations of Margo and in Margo's Consolidated Financial Statements included as
Appendix I to this proxy statement/prospectus.                                  

Income Taxes                                                                    

Federal Taxes                                                                   

        As a Florida corporation, through December 31, 1997, Margo was subject
to federal income taxes on its worldwide operations. For U.S. income tax        
purposes, Margo had elected the benefits of Section 936 ("Section 936") of the  
Code, which provided a credit against Margo's income tax liability based        
generally on a portion of wages paid by Margo in Puerto Rico.                   

       The Small Business Job Protection Act of 1996 (the "1996 Amendments")
enacted into law on August 20, 1996, amended Section 936 by repealing the credit
available under this Section subject to a ten-year grandfather rule applicable  
only for corporations that were actively conducting a trade or business in      
Puerto Rico on October 13, 1995. In light of the phase-out of the benefits of   
Section 936, Margo decided to change its jurisdiction of incorporation to Puerto
Rico, where it enjoys substantial tax benefits as discussed below. As a Puerto  
Rico corporation, effective January 1, 1998, Margo is generally only subject to 
U.S. income taxation to the extent it is engaged in a trade or business in the  
United States or receives income from sources in the United States.             

Puerto Rico Taxes                                                               

        Margo is also subject to Puerto Rico income taxes from its Puerto Rico
operations. Subject to certain limitations, during 1997 Margo's federal income  
tax liability was creditable against its Puerto Rico income tax liability.      

        The Agricultural Tax Incentives Act of the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico
(Act. No. 225 of December 1, 1995, as amended) provides its nursery operations  
with a 90% tax exemption for income derived from "bonafide" agricultural        
activities within Puerto Rico, including sales within and outside Puerto Rico,  
as well as a 100% exemption from property, municipal and excise taxes. The Act  
defines "bona fide agricultural activity" to include the nursery business. The  
Act became effective for taxable years commencing on or after December 1, 1995. 

Property                                                                        

 During 1999, Margo conducted its operations from nursery facilities
located in Puerto Rico.                                                         

Vega Alta Nursery Facility                                                      

     Margo leases a 117 acre nursery facility in Vega Alta, Puerto Rico,
approximately 25 miles west of San Juan. The facility, which includes Margo's   
corporate offices, consists of approximately 1,130,000 square feet of           
shadehouses, propagation and mist facilities, as well as a 10,000 square foot   
warehouse for Margo's lawn and garden products. The nursery facility also has   
irrigation equipment and pump houses, shipping and storage areas, as well as a  
home for a field supervisor.                                                    

       The Vega Alta facility is leased from Michael J. Spector and Margaret
D. Spector (the "Spectors"), who are officers, directors and the major          
shareholders of Margo, pursuant to a lease agreement dated January 1, 1993. The 
lease provides for an initial term of five years subject to one additional      
renewal term of five years at the option of

Margo. During the initial term of the lease, rent was $19,000 per month. The    
lease also provides that during the renewal term, the rent increases to the     
greater of $24,000 per month, or the original $19,000 per month adjusted on the 
basis of the increase in the Wholesale Price Index ("WPI") published by the     
United States Department of Labor, Bureau of Labor Statistics, from the WPI     
which was in effect on January 1, 1993 to the WPI in effect on January 1, 1998. 
Under the lease, Margo must pay all taxes on the property, maintain certain     
insurance coverage and otherwise maintain and care for the property. The lease  
also contains an option which permits Margo to purchase the property at its     
appraised value at any time during the term of the lease. In consideration of   
the option, Margo must pay $1,000 per month. On January 1, 1998, Margo exercised
its renewal option at a monthly rental of $24,000. The Spectors have committed  
to grant Margo an option to extend the lease for an additional period of five   
years ending December 31, 2007.                                                 

   On January 1, 1994, the lease agreement was amended to include an
additional 27 acres of land adjacent to the nursery facility at a monthly rental
of $1,750. This amendment did not provide for renewal or purchase options for   
this tract of land. Effective January 1, 1998, Margo and the Spectors entered   
into an amendment to the lease agreement which grants Margo the right to        
continue to lease the 27 acre parcel on a month to month basis. Either party may
terminate this portion of the lease upon 30 days prior written notice. In       
connection with this amendment, the Spectors also agreed to reimburse Margo by  
no later than March 1, 2001, the unamortized value (approximately $45,000 at    
February 1, 2000) of the leasehold improvements applicable to such parcel as of 
the date of termination. Effective February 1, 2000, the lease agreement with   
respect to the 27 acre parcel was terminated.                                   

  During the three months ended March 31, 2000 and the years ended
December 31, 1999 and 1998, total lease payments to the Spectors amounted to    
$73,750, $309,000 and $309,000, respectively, in each case not including the    
monthly payments for the option referred to above.                              

Barranquitas Nursery Facility                                                   

      Effective January 1, 1997, Margo entered into a lease agreement with
Cali Orchids, Inc., to lease a 13 acre nursery facility located in the town of  
Barranquitas, Puerto Rico. The lease has an initial term of five years and may  
be renewed for two additional five-year terms at Margo's option. During the     
first year of the initial term of the lease, monthly payments amount to $4,500. 
During the remaining four years of the initial term of the lease, monthly       
payments amount to $5,000. During the first and second renewal terms, monthly   
payments increase to $6,000 and $7,000, respectively. The lease agreement does  
not provide for any purchase option.                                            

       For the three months ended March 31, 2000 and each of the years ended
December 31, 1999 and 1998 total lease payments amounted to $15,000, $60,000 and
$45,000, respectively. Lease payments for 1998 reflect a rent abatement of      
$15,000 due to damages caused by Hurricane Georges.                             

New Vega Alta Facility                                                          

         On March 24, 1999, Margo leased two additional parcels of land from the
Puerto Rico Land Authority (an instrumentality of the Government of the         
Commonwealth of Puerto Rico). The two parcels are adjacent to each other, have a
total capacity of 321 acres, and are located approximately one mile from Margo's
main nursery facility in Vega Alta. Among other things, the lease agreement     
provides for an initial lease term of five years subject to three additional    
renewal terms of five years, at the option of Margo. Lease payments are $33,625 
per year. For the three months ended March 31, 2000 and the year ended December 
31, 1999, lease payments of $8,406 and $25,219, respectively, were paid by      
Margo. Lease payments for renewal terms are to be negotiated 90 days prior to   
each renewal term.                                                              

Legal Proceedings                                                               

       In the opinion of Margo's management, any pending or threatened legal
proceedings of which management is aware will not have a material adverse effect
on Margo's financial condition or results of operations.

 MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS OF MARGO

Results of Operations for Each of the Years Ended December 31, 1999, 1998 and   
1997                                                                            

         For the year ended December 31, 1999, Margo incurred a consolidated net
loss of approximately $128,000, compared to a net loss of $1,113,000 and        
$751,000 in 1998 and 1997, respectively. These amounts represent a consolidated 
net loss per common share of $.07, $.59 and $.40 for 1999, 1998 and 1997,       
respectively.                                                                   

      Margo's net loss for the year ended December 31, 1999, was due to an
operating loss of approximately $165,000, which was offset by other income of   
$37,000. The operating loss for the year ended December 31, 1999 was principally
due to an increase in selling, general and administrative expenses incurred     
during the year.                                                                

        Margo's net loss for the year ended December 31, 1998 was due to three
unrelated events experienced during the year. The first of these events was a   
decrease in sales of approximately $1.2 million, which precluded additional     
gross profit to absorb selling, general and administrative expenses. The second 
and third events were non-operational

in nature. These included the write-down of approximately $202,000 to the       
carrying value of a note receivable and a loss of $609,000 as a result of       
damages caused by Hurricane Georges on September 21, 1998.                      

         During the year ended December 31, 1997, Margo closed its South Florida
operation and sold the major assets related to this operation, represented by   
two parcels of land. Although the sale of these two properties resulted in a    
gain of $474,574 for 1997, this gain was more than offset by a loss from        
operations of approximately $1,239,000 of which $517,000 corresponded to the    
South Florida operation, arising from storage and maintenance costs as well as  
the write down associated with unsalable inventory and certain other            
administrative costs related to the closing of the operation.                   

Sales                                                                           

  Consolidated net sales for the year ended December 31, 1999 were
approximately $6,201,000, representing an increase of 16% over sales of         
$5,349,000 in 1998. The increase in sales for 1999 was principally due to the   
result of increased sales volume to chain stores such as The Home Depot and     
WalMart Stores, as well as a sales contract of mature trees with the            
Municipality of San Juan. Increases in sales included increased sales of both   
plant material of $762,000 and of lawn and garden products of $258,000. Sales of
landscaping services decreased by $168,000 due to higher volume of              
post-Hurricane Georges services performed during the fourth quarter of 1998.    

  Consolidated net sales for the year ended December 31, 1998 were
approximately $5,349,000, representing a decrease of 18% from sales of          
$6,549,000 in 1997. This decrease in sales for 1998 was principally due to a    
reduction in sales of approximately $857,000 to one of Margo's major customers, 
principally in sales of lawn and garden products, a decrease in the volume of   
landscaping services of approximately $256,000 and the absence of sales of the  
discontinued South Florida operation which had sales of approximately $478,000  
in 1997. These decreases were offset by increases from new customer base as well
as a sales contract with the Puerto Rico Department of Transportation and Public
Works of approximately $221,000.

The table above reflects that consolidated gross profits as a 
percentage of net sales were approximately 36%, 32%, and 21%, for the years     
ended December 31, 1999, 1998 and 1997, respectively.                           

        Margo's consolidated gross profit for the year ended December 31, 1999
was 36% compared to 32% for 1998, representing an increase of 4%. This increase 
in gross profit was spread among all business segments. Gross profit

from sales of plant material for 1999 was approximately 37% compared to 32% in  
1998. This increase of 5% was due to higher margins under various sales         
contracts during 1999, as well as sales of plant material during the Christmas  
season. Gross profit from sales of lawn and garden products was approximately   
38% for 1999, compared to 36% in 1998. This increase of 2% was due to higher    
sales volume of Rain Forest products during 1999. Gross profit from sales of    
landscaping services was approximately 25% for 1999 compared to 30% in 1998.    
This decrease of 5% experienced during 1999 was directly related to an          
unfavorable performance on a specific project during 1999.                      

        Margo's consolidated gross profit for the year ended December 31, 1998
was 32% compared to 21% in 1997, representing an increase of 11%. This increase 
in gross profit was directly related to the closing of Margo's unprofitable     
South Florida operation during September 1997. To a lesser extent, the Puerto   
Rico operation also had gross profit problems during 1997, arising from         
excessive storage and maintenance costs of slow moving inventory.               

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses                                    

        Margo's selling, general and administrative expenses ("SG&A") for 1999
were approximately $2,395,000 compared to $2,123,000 in 1998, representing an   
increase of 13% in dollar terms and a decrease of 1% as a percentage of sales.  
The increase in SG&A in dollar terms for 1999 was due to increases in shipping  
and selling costs (principally salaries) as well as administrative salaries, a  
portion of which were classified as clean up and debris removal in 1998, as a   
result of the damages caused by Hurricane Georges.                              

 Margo's SG&A for 1998 were approximately $2,123,000 compared to
$2,604,000 in 1997, representing a decrease of 18% in dollar terms. SG&A as a   
percentage of sales remained at 40% in both 1998 and 1997. The decrease in      
dollar terms was due to the non-recurrence of approximately $220,000 incurred at
the discontinued South Florida operation during 1997, as well as decreases in   
shipping, travel and legal services during 1998.                                

Other Income and Expense                                                        

       The decrease in interest income for the year ended December 31, 1999,
when compared to 1998, is due to lower yields obtained during 1999 on similar   
investments.                                                                    

       The decrease in interest expense for the year ended December 31, 1999
when compared to 1998, is due to reductions in the outstanding principal        
balances of long-term debt, despite an increase in notes payable and long-term  
debt for in the latter part of 1999.                                            

Hurricane Georges                                                               

     Hurricane Georges struck Puerto Rico on September 21, 1998. As with
other hurricanes, the agricultural industry was the hardest hit sector. At its  
Vega Alta facilities, Margo suffered moderate damage to all of its fabricated   
steel structures (shadehouses) and near total destruction of all its wooden     
shadehouses and its irrigation systems. Total property written down as a result 
of the damages had a book value of approximately $171,000 at December 31, 1998. 
At its Barranquitas facilities, moderate damage was also sustained to a portion 
of its pull and cable shadehouses and its irrigation system, however, all of the
shadecloth covers were blown away. As of December 31, 1998, Margo had incurred  
expenses of approximately $696,000 in connection with clean-up, restoration and 
debris removal at both locations.                                               

  Margo's inventory of lawn and garden products did not suffer any
damages. However, inventory of plant material sustained significant damages as a
result of damage and destruction to shadehouses at both Company locations.      
Inventory destroyed at both of Margo's locations as of December 31, 1998 had a  
net realizable value of approximately $362,000. As of December 31, 1998, Margo  
had received approximately $620,000 from its insurers for property damages, for 
a loss of $609,000 from the damages caused by the hurricane.

       During 1999, Margo received an assistance payment of $12,880 from the
Farm Service Agency of the United States Department of Agriculture for debris   
removal from damages caused by the hurricane.                                   

    The Puerto Rico Department of Agriculture has committed to provide
assistance to bona-fide agricultural enterprises for damages caused by the      
hurricane. At December 31, 1999, the Puerto Rico Department of Agriculture had  
approved $111,885 in assistance, subject to the formalization of an agreement,  
which among other things requires the facility to be operated as a nursery farm 
for a minimum period of ten years from the date of the signing. Accordingly,    
Margo recorded a receivable and a deferred revenue to account for the assistance
at December 31, 1999.                                                           

Write Down of Note Receivable                                                   

        Margo owns a note receivable from the sale of a former subsidiary to a
Dominican Republic company, which had a carrying value of approximately $302,000
at December 31, 1997. Refer to Note 5 to the Margo consolidated financial       
statements for the year ended December 31, 1999. On February 12, 1997, Margo    
obtained a junior lien on the borrower's property and equipment and modified the
terms of the note by waiving interest and principal payments until January 2000.
On September 23, 1998, Hurricane Georges struck the Dominican Republic. The     
hurricane severely damaged the former subsidiary's facilities. As a result of   
the damages caused by the hurricane, Margo determined to write down the carrying
value of the note to $100,000 as of September 30, 1998. The write down,         
amounting to $201,621 was included as an other expense in the accompanying      
consolidated statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 1998.      

       The borrower is now in default with certain modified repayment terms.
As a result, during the fourth quarter of 1999, Margo wrote down the carrying   
value of the note to $20,000, and has included the $80,000 charge as an other   
expense in the accompanying consolidated statement of operations for the year   
ended December 31, 1999.                                                        

Sale of Land in South Florida                                                   

    During 1997, Margo sold two parcels of land in South Florida at an
aggregate gain of $474,574, arising from Margo's decision to close its South    
Florida operation.                                                              

Significant Fourth Quarter Adjustments                                          

       During the third quarter of 1999, Margo recorded $150,000 in revenues
based on estimates of amounts to be received in hurricane assistance payments   
from the Puerto Rico Department of Agriculture. During the fourth quarter, Margo
was informed by the Puerto Rico Department of Agriculture that the actual amount
to be received in assistance payments was approximately $112,000. Moreover, the 
Department of Agriculture informed Margo that the receipt of the payments would 
be subject to an agreement that its nursery farm subsidiary would remain        
operating as an agricultural business for ten years. Failure to meet this       
requirement, could result in all or a portion of the amount received as         
assistance payments being required to be repaid to the Department of            
Agriculture. On the basis of this new information, during the fourth quarter of 
1999, Margo took a charge against earnings of $150,000 to reverse the revenue   
previously recognized during the third quarter of 1999 and recorded a receivable
and a deferred revenue of approximately $112,000 as of December 31, 1999.       

        Also, during the fourth quarter of 1999, Margo recorded a charge of to
earnings of $80,000 to write down the carrying value of a note receivable from  
$`100,000 to $20,000, see "Write Down of Note Receivable".                      

Results of Operations for the Quarters Ended March 31, 2000 and 1999            

     During the first three months of 2000, Margo incurred a net loss of
approximately $19,000, or $.01 per share, compared to net income of             
approximately $63,000 for the same period in 1999, or $.03 per share. However,  
income

from operations for the first three months of 2000 was approximately $127,000   
compared to $36,000 for the same period in 1999.                                

     The decrease in net profits for the first quarter 2000 is due to an
increase in non- operational expenses related to the ongoing merger transaction 
with itract. Merger related expenses amounted to approximately $157,000 for the 
three months ended March 31, 2000. Increase in income from operations for the   
first three months of 2000 is principally due to increased sales, as discussed  
below.                                                                          

Sales                                                                           

        Margo's consolidated net sales for the first three months of 2000 were
approximately $2,108,000, compared to $1,533,000 for the same period in 1999, or
an increase of approximately 37%. The increase in sales for the first three     
months of 2000 when compared to the same period in 1999 was due to increased    
sales in all business segments, the highest of which were lawn and garden       
products as a result of increased sales of Margo's Rain Forest product line, as 
well as other increases in sales of lawn and garden products. This increase in  
sales was principally the result of increased demand by large retail chains in  
Puerto Rico.                                                                    

Gross Profits                                                                   

    Margo's gross profit for the first three months of 2000 was 34.9%,
compared to 36.7% for the same period in 1999, or a decrease of approximately   
1.8%.                                                                           

         The decrease in gross profit of 1.8% for the first three months of 2000
when compared to the same period in 1999 is principally due to a reduction in   
margins of plant material, offset in part by the increase in margins of lawn and
garden products.                                                                

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses                                    

   SG&A were approximately $608,000 and $526,000 for the first three
months of 2000 and 1999, respectively, representing an increase of approximately
16% in dollar terms and a decrease of 5% as a percentage of sales.              

         The increase in SG&A in dollar terms for the first three months of 2000
when compared to the same period in 1999 is due, among other things, to         
increases in repairs and maintenance expenses as well as salary increases in    
shipping and landscaping.                                                       

Other Income and Expenses                                                       

         The increase in interest income for the first three months of 2000 when
compared to the same period in 1999, is due to higher yields obtained during    
2000 with similar investment balances. The increase in interest expense for 2000
when compared to 1999 is the result of additional borrowings of long-term debt  
during the latter part of 1999.                                                 

    During the first three months of 2000, Margo has been pursuing the
proposed merger with itract. Legal, accounting and other expenses incurred in   
connection with the itract merger during the period amounted to approximately   
$157,000.                                                                       

Financial Condition                                                             

       Margo's financial condition at March 31, 2000 remains comparable with
that of December 31, 1999. Margo's current ratio continues to be strong, with a 
ratio of 3.1 to 1 at March 31, 2000, compared to 2.9 to 1 at December 31, 1999.

 At March 31, 2000, Margo had cash of approximately $640,000 and
short-term investments of $500,000, compared to cash of $1,083,000 and short    
term investments of $500,000 at December 31, 1999. The decrease in cash at March
31, 2000 is due to cash outflows used in operations of $372,000, principally    
from an increase in accounts receivable of approximately $356,000 as a result of
increased sales, as well as other minor cash outflows arising from additions to 
property and equipment of $41,000 and repayment of long-term debt of $30,000.   

        As a result of a decrease in current liabilities as of March 31, 2000,
debt to equity ratio improved to approximately 41% compared to 43% at December  
31, 1999.                                                                       

        Shareholders' equity at March 31, 2000 remained comparable to December
31, 1999 due to Margo's net loss for the quarter of approximately $19,000,      
offset by a conversion of stock options into common stock of approximately      
$20,000. There were no dividends declared nor issuance of capital stock during  
the first quarter of 2000.                                                      

Current Liquidity and Capital Resources                                         

      Margo is presently current on all its obligations. Excess funds have
been invested in short-term bank instruments. Margo believes it has adequate    
resources to meet its current and anticipated liquidity and capital requirements
related to its current nursery operations.                                      

Inflation                                                                       

      The primary inflationary factors which may affect Margo's results of
operations and financial condition are the costs of labor and production        
materials such as soil, pots, chemicals, fertilizer and plant cuttings. During  
the last three years, the impact of inflation on the results of operations and  
financial condition of Margo has been minimal due to the stability of wage      
rates, except for the increase in minimum wage experienced during 1997, and the 
availability of production materials from a wide variety of sources.            

         Margo does not anticipate that inflation will have a significant effect
on its future earnings or financial condition because increases caused by       
inflation are ordinarily recovered through increases in prices.                 

Year 2000 Issue                                                                 

  The inability of computer hardware and software to recognize and
properly process data fields using a four-digit year to define the applicable   
year is commonly referred to as the "Year 2000 Problem".                        

      During 1999, Margo completed a review and evaluation of its hardware
and software programs and applications and modified and tested its software and 
operating systems for Year 2000 compliance. As of the date of this proxy        
statement/prospectus, Margo's hardware and software systems were fully          
operational and Margo had not experienced any material adverse effect on its    
operations as a result of Year 2000 Problems, nor had Margo been aware of       
problems by either its major suppliers or customers.                            

Reclassifications                                                               

       Certain reclassifications were made to the 1998 and 1997 consolidated
financial statements in order for them to be in conformity with the 1999        
presentation.

 PROPOSED SALE OF MARGO'S BUSINESSES

Background to Sale of Businesses                                                

         The merger agreement with itract provides that it is a condition to the
obligation of itract to consummate the merger with the subsidiary of Holdings   
that Margo have sold all assets, other than cash and cash equivalents, owned or 
used by Margo and its subsidiaries in any of the businesses presently conducted 
by any of them, including all the capital stock of Margo's subsidiaries owned by
Margo (other than Holdings' shares of common stock presently owned by Margo). To
satisfy this condition, Margo has entered into a stock purchase agreement with  
Empresas Margo, Inc., which agreement has been approved by itract.              

      On March 17, 2000, Margo retained the services of San Juan Holdings,
Inc. ("SJ Holdings") an investment banking firm based in San Juan, Puerto Rico, 
to seek potential buyers for its existing nursery business and to act as Margo's
financial advisor in such a transaction.                                        

       SJ Holdings prepared a Confidential Information Memorandum containing
operational and financial information regarding Margo's nursery operations.     
Letters of inquiry were sent to approximately 31 firms which had either         
previously expressed an interest in purchasing Margo's nursery operations or    
which SJ Holdings had identified as persons in the nursery business that might  
be interested in pursuing the purchase of Margo's nursery operations. All       
parties were informed that an Information Memorandum would be forwarded to them 
upon receipt of an executed confidentiality agreement. Four persons executed    
confidentiality agreements and requested a Confidential Information Memorandum. 

    Indications of interest were received from only two firms, Pennock
Growers, Inc., a Puerto Rico based nursery company and Empresas Margo, a        
corporation organized by Michael J. Spector. Mr. Spector owns all of the        
outstanding capital stock of Empresas Margo.                                    

       The indication of interest received from Pennock Growers was for $4.0
million, subject to possible increase if they could obtain evidence to their    
satisfaction supporting the projections contained in the Confidential           
Information Memorandum. The Pennock Growers proposal provided for a structure   
involving the sale of assets versus the stock of the subsidiaries and was       
subject to a due diligence investigation. In addition, it provided that accounts
receivable over 90 days would not be purchased, that the existing inventory of  
Margo's subsidiaries would be subject to adjustment based on a market evaluation
and that Margo would be required to pay all severance obligations under Puerto  
Rico law with respect to existing employees. The Pennock Growers proposal also  
stated that they would have to conduct further due diligence before agreeing to 
assume any existing indebtedness of Margo.                                      

      Empresas Margo's indication of interest was for $5.0 million in cash
plus the assumption of $600,000 in debt. It was structured as a stock purchase  
rather than an asset purchase and was not subject to due diligence investigation
or possible reduction in price due to valuation of accounts receivable and      
inventory or payment of severance obligations. In addition, Empresas Margo's    
proposal indicated that no post closing indemnification would be required from  
Margo, a condition that itract had informed Margo they would insist on.         

   Based on the structural considerations discussed above, the Board
determined that it was very unlikely that they could obtain a binding offer from
Pennock Growers that would exceed the price proposed by Empresas Margo or that  
would allow Margo to comply with the requirement in the itract merger agreement 
that there be at least $5.0 million in cash and cash equivalents in Margo at the
time of the merger and liabilities not in excess of $10,000. Accordingly, the   
Board decided to pursue further negotiations with Empresas Margo.               

        Negotiations between Margo and Empresas Margo ensued. On June 6, 2000,
a special meeting of the Board of Directors was held and based on the           
considerations discussed above and the opinion of Margo's financial advisor, SJ 
Holdings, the board of directors voted to approve the stock purchase agreement  
with Empresas Margo.

Recommendations of Margo's Board of Directors                                   

   Margo's board of directors believes that the proposed sale of its
nursery operation to Empresas Margo pursuant to the stock purchase agreement is 
fair to, and in the best interest of, Margo and its shareholders. Margo's board 
of directors, with Michael J. Spector and Margaret D. Spector abstaining, has   
unanimously approved the stock purchase agreement with Empresas Margo and       
recommends shareholders vote for the approval of the sale of all the stock of   
Margo's subsidiaries pursuant to the stock purchase agreement.                  

     In reaching its decision to approve the sale of its subsidiaries to
Empresas Margo, the board of directors consulted with Margo's financial and     
legal advisors, and considered a variety of factors, including the following:   

      o        that the merger agreement with itract provides that it is a
              precondition to the transactions contemplated thereby that
            Margo shall have sold all of its assets, other than cash
               equivalents and the Board determined that the itract merger
           was in the best interest of Margo and its shareholders;

  o        its determination that it was unlikely that Margo would
             receive competing offers that were more favorable or that
             could comply with the minimum quantitative and structural
requirements of the itract merger agreement.

   o        the structure and terms of the stock purchase agreement,
            including the absence of post-closing indemnification or
severance obligations;                      

         In making its determination, the Board considered the fact that Michael
J. Spector, the current Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer of    
Margo owned all of Empresas Margo, and that his ownership of Empresas Margo     
raised various conflicts of interest.                                           

   The above discussion of the information and factors considered by
Margo's board of directors is not intended to be exhaustive, but includes all   
material factors considered by the board. In reaching its determination to      
approve and recommend the stock purchase agreement, Margo's board of directors  
did not assign any relative or specific weights to the foregoing factors, and   
individual directors may have given differing weights to different factors.     

      Because Margo shareholders must approve the stock purchase agreement
before itract is obligated to consummate the merger, Margo's board of directors 
unanimously recommends that each of Margo shareholders vote "FOR" approval of   
the stock purchase agreement.                                                   

Terms of the Stock Purchase Agreement                                           

       This discussion of the stock purchase agreement is not intended to be
complete and is qualified by reference to the stock purchase agreement attached 
hereto as Appendix C.                                                           

Purchase and Sale of Shares                                                     

         The stock purchase agreement provides for the sale by Margo to Empresas
Margo of all of the shares of stock owned by Margo in its subsidiaries (except  
for the shares of Holdings) for a price of $5,000,000 plus the assumption of the
outstanding debt (after application of the cash collateral securing this debt)  
of Margo. As of May 31, 2000, the outstanding principal amount of the debt to be
assumed was approximately $812,000. The closing will take place at the offices  
of Pietrantoni Mendez & Alvarez LLP on the first business day following the     
satisfaction or waiver of all conditions set forth in the stock purchase        
agreement, unless another time or place is agreed to by Margo and Empresas      
Margo.

Certain Covenants                                                               

         Margo has agreed that until the closing of the purchase and sale of the
shares, Margo will cause its subsidiaries to conduct their businesses in the    
ordinary course and use their best efforts to maintain satisfactory commercial  
relationships.                                                                  

      Empresas Margo has agreed to retain all current employees of Margo's
subsidiaries and to honor their years of service for purposes of certain        
employee benefits, without limiting its ability to terminate employees in the   
ordinary course or as deemed necessary or advisable.                            

Conditions of Sale                                                              

         The obligation of Empresas Margo to consummate the purchase and sale of
the shares is subject to the satisfaction or waiver of several customary        
conditions, including:                                                          

         o        the accuracy of the representations and warranties of Margo as
of the closing date;                        

        o        the absence of any governmental order or proceeding affecting
the transaction; and                        

     o        the receipt of all governmental consents necessary for the
consummation of the transaction.            

    The obligation of Margo to consummate the purchase and sale of the
shares is subject to the satisfaction or waiver of several conditions,          
including:                                                                      

   o        the effectiveness of the registration statement filed by
               Holdings with the SEC and evidence that the reincorporation
                merger and the itract merger will occur concurrently with or
                immediately following the closing of the sale of the shares.

         o        the accuracy of the representations and warranties of Empresas
Margo as of the closing date;               

        o        the absence of any governmental order or proceeding affecting
the transaction;                            

     o        the receipt of all governmental consents necessary for the
consummation of the transaction; and        

       o        the receipt of approval by Margo's shareholders of the stock
purchase agreement.                         

Survival of Representations                                                     

         All representations, warranties, covenants and agreements made by Margo
and Empresas Margo in the stock purchase agreement or pursuant thereto expire on
the closing date and Margo has no liability with respect to such                
representations, warranties, covenants and agreements.                          

Termination                                                                     

     The stock purchase agreement may be terminated prior to the closing
only as follows:                                                                

o        by mutual consent of Margo and Empresas Margo;       

      o        by either Margo or Empresas Margo at any time after October
      15, 2000 if, through no fault of the party seeking
     termination, the closing shall not have occurred;

  o        by Empresas Margo, if Margo has materially breached the
                agreement in a way that has rendered the satisfaction of any
                 condition to the obligations of Empresas Margo impossible and
      such breach has not been waived by Empresas Margo;

  o        by Margo, if Empresas Margo has materially breached the
                agreement in a way that has rendered the satisfaction of any
             condition to the obligations of Margo impossible and such
breach has not been waived by Margo; and    

    o        by either Margo or Empresas Margo if a final order from a
           court of competent jurisdiction permanently enjoins the
transaction.                                

Expenses                                                                        

Each party will bear its own expenses in connection with the  
consummation of the purchase and sale of the shares. In the event of the        
termination of the stock purchase agreement as set forth above, there is no     
further obligation or liability of any party, except that:                      

   o        if the agreement is terminated by Margo as a result of a
              material breach by Empresas Margo, Empresas Margo shall be
               obligated to reimburse Margo for all out-of-pocket expenses
              incurred by Margo in connection with the agreement and the
                  transactions contemplated thereby up to a maximum of $100,000;
and                                         

       o        if the agreement is terminated by Empresas Margo as a result
              of a material breach by Margo, Margo shall be obligated to
           reimburse Empresas Margo for all out-of-pocket expenses
               incurred by Empresas Margo in connection with the agreement
                and the transactions contemplated thereby up to a maximum of
$100,000.                                   

Opinion of Financial Advisor Regarding Sale of Margo's Businesses               

        Margo retained SJ Holdings to act as its financial advisor to render a
fairness opinion in connection with the sale of Margo's existing nursery and    
other subsidiaries, based on SJ Holdings' qualifications, expertise and         
reputation. On June 30, 2000, SJ Holdings rendered to Margo's board of directors
its written opinion that, as of such date and based upon the considerations set 
forth in the opinion, the consideration to be received by Margo for the sale of 
the subsidiaries, consisting of $5,000,000 and the assumption of certain debt as
set forth above, was fair to Margo from a financial point of view. The full text
of the SJ Holdings opinion is attached as Appendix E to this proxy              
statement/prospectus.                                                           

         Margo's stockholders are urged to read the opinion carefully and in its
entirety. The SJ Holdings opinion is directed to Margo's board of directors,    
addressed only the fairness to Margo of the consideration to be received by     
Margo for the sale of the subsidiaries from a financial point of view, and does 
not address any other aspect of the sale of the subsidiaries or the itract      
merger or constitute a recommendation to any of Margo's stockholders as to how  
such stockholders should vote on the proposed sale of Margo's subsidiaries. This
summary is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of such      
opinion.                                                                        

       SJ Holdings is a privately-owned merchant banking firm with principal
offices in San Juan, Puerto Rico, that also provides financial advisory and     
investment banking services to small and middle market businesses and investor  
groups. SJ Holdings has not previously provided any financial advisory services 
to Margo or itract. However, in the ordinary course of business, an affiliate of
SJ Holdings holds accounts for certain customers that may, at any time, hold a  
position in Margo's common stock.                                               

       For purposes of its opinion and in connection with its review of sale
of the subsidiaries, SJ Holdings reviewed and analyzed, among other things, the 
stock purchase agreement with Empresas Margo, certain publicly available        
business and financial information relating to Margo and Margo's financial      
forecasts. SJ Holdings had discussions

with certain officers of Margo about the business and prospects of Margo. SJ    
Holdings also considered such other information, financial studies, analyses,   
investigations and financial, economic and market criteria that it deemed       
relevant. At the request of Margo's board of directors, SJ Holdings solicited   
indications of interest in acquiring Margo's subsidiaries from U.S. nursery     
companies and other third parties identified to it by Margo.                    

         In connection with its opinion, with Margo's permission and without any
independent verification, SJ Holdings relied on the accuracy and completeness of
all the financial and other information reviewed by it, furnished, or otherwise 
communicated to it by Margo or obtained by SJ Holdings from publicly available  
sources. SJ Holdings did not make an independent valuation or appraisal of the  
assets or liabilities of Margo and was not furnished with any such valuation or 
appraisal. Any inaccuracies in the information on which SJ Holdings relied could
materially affect its opinion.                                                  

       In conjunction with rendering its written opinion dated June 30, 2000
to the board of directors of Margo, SJ Holdings presented a summary of its      
analysis to the Board on June 6, 2000. Set forth below is a brief summary of the
analyses performed by SJ Holdings in reaching its June 30, 2000 opinion.        

Historical Trading Valuation Analysis.                        

         Under this approach, SJ Holdings reviewed the historical trading prices
of Margo's common stock for the period from June 1996 through February 8, 2000, 
the date of the announcement of the itract merger, and analyzed the implied     
premium of Empresas Margo's offer to Margo's market capitalization during such  
periods. Empresas Margo's offer represents an average premium of approximately  
37%, 46% and 21% during the years 1997, 1998 and 1999. Based on these premiums, 
SJ Holdings believes that Empresas Margo's offer, as compared to Margo's        
historical market capitalization, is reasonable. Although the implied premium   
for the period from January 2000 to February 8, 2000 is inconsistent with the   
historical premiums set forth above, SJ Holdings believes that Margo's stock    
price for this period reflected speculation related to the itract merger and    
therefore is not indicative of Margo's intrinsic value.                         

Acquisition Premium Over Public Market Valuation Analysis.    

       Under this approach, SJ Holdings analyzed selected publicly announced
acquisition transactions during the period from January 1996 through June 2000  
for companies in comparable industry groups, since there was no public          
acquisition transaction in Margo's same industry group. SJ Holdings further     
analyzed which specific transactions were more closely related to Margo's       
business operations. The comparable industry groups were: wholesale food        
products, wholesale natural and organic food products and wholesale and retail  
general merchandise. Based on the acquisition premiums of the publicly announced
transactions in these comparable segments, which ranged from 14% to 24%, SJ     
Holdings derived a range of market valuations for Margo. SJ Holdings discounted 
such valuations by applying a discount rate of between 10% and 20% due to the   
fact that the terms of the stock purchase agreement with Empresas Margo does not
contain any indemnification by Margo for breach of representations and          
warranties, which would have been typical in transactions of this nature but was
not permitted by the terms of the itract merger agreement. This analysis        
resulted in an adjusted implied valuation of Margo of between $4.2 million and  
$5.2 million.                                                                   

Comparable Public Company Analysis.                           

         SJ Holdings analyzed certain financial information of comparable public
companies in the nursery and florist business. SJ Holdings considered the mean  
and median range of the market value of these companies to their sales, assets, 
book value, tangible book value and earnings before interest, taxes,            
depreciation and amortization. Based on this analysis, SJ Holdings determined   
that the measure of market value to book value represents a reasonable valuation
measure for Margo. Applying to Margo's book value the mean and median ranges of 
the comparable public companies' ratio of market value to book value, and       
factoring acquisition premiums ranging from 14% to 24% derived from the analysis
of publicly announced transactions, provided an implied acquisition value of    
Margo

from $4.3 million to $5.7 million. Discounting these valuations for the lack of 
indemnification in the stock purchase agreement as discussed above, the         
valuation under this analysis ranges from $3.4 million to $5.1 million. The     
comparable public companies used are: Callaway's Nursery Inc., Dimon, Inc.,     
Griffin Land & Nurseries, Hines Horticulture and USA Floral.                    

      No company or transaction used in the above analyses is identical to
Margo. Accordingly, an analysis of the results of the foregoing is not          
mathematical; rather, it involves complex considerations and judgments          
concerning differences in financial and operating characteristics of the        
companies and other facts that could affect the public trading value of the     
companies to which Margo is being compared.                                     

Discounted Cash Flow Analysis.                                

         Under this approach, SJ Holdings analyzed the financial and operational
projections provided by Margo's management and performed discounted cash flow   
analyses applying discount rates ranging from 20% to 25% in order to reflect the
risk in Margo's cash flows and the lack of indemnification to Empresas Margo.   
Assuming that Margo's sales grow at 75% of their projected level, and applying  
the discount rates of 20% and 25% mentioned above, Margo's valuation ranges from
$4.9 million to $5.8 million. The projections used were based on numerous       
variables and assumptions which are inherently unpredictable and must be        
considered not certain of occurrence as projected.                              

Analysis of Market Solicitation of Indications of Interest.   

       As previously discussed SJ Holdings solicited indications of interest
from selected U.S. and Puerto Rico based potential buyers. Besides Empresas     
Margo's offer, this solicitation resulted in only one indication of interest for
approximately $4 million.                                                       

     The material analyses performed by SJ Holdings have been summarized
above. Nonetheless, the summary set forth above does not purport to be a        
complete description of the analyses performed by SJ Holdings. The preparation  
of a fairness opinion involves various determinations as to the most appropriate
and relevant methods of financial analysis and the application of these methods 
to the particular circumstances. Therefore, such an opinion is not readily      
susceptible to a summary description. SJ Holdings did not form a conclusion as  
to whether any individual analysis, considered in isolation, supported or failed
to support an opinion as to fairness. Rather, in reaching its conclusion, SJ    
Holdings considered the results of the analyses in light of each other and      
ultimately reached its opinion based on the results of all analyses taken as a  
whole. SJ Holdings did not place a particular reliance or weight on any         
particular analysis, but instead concluded that its analyses, taken as whole,   
supported its determination.                                                    

         SJ Holdings' opinion does not address the relative merits of the itract
merger as compared to any alternative business strategies that might exist for  
Margo or the effect of any other business combination in which Margo might      
engage.                                                                         

       Pursuant to the terms of SJ Holdings' engagement, Margo has agreed to
pay SJ Holdings a fee of $25,000 in connection with its rendering of the        
fairness opinion. Margo has also agreed to pay SJ Holdings for its financial    
advisory services in connection with the sale of the subsidiaries an additional 
fee of $50,000 contingent on the closing of the sale of the subsidiaries. Margo 
also has agreed to reimburse SJ Holdings for reasonable out-of-pocket expenses  
incurred by it in performing its services, including fees and expenses for legal
counsel, and to indemnify SJ Holdings and certain related persons and entities  
against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the federal securities 
laws, arising out of SJ Holdings' engagement. In the ordinary course of its     
business, SJ Holdings and its affiliates may actively trade the equity          
securities of Margo for their own accounts and for the accounts of customers    
and, accordingly, may at any time hold long or short positions in such          
securities.

  One of the purposes of Margo's annual meeting is to re-elect the
existing five members of Margo's board of directors to serve until the          
consummation of the reincorporation merger and in the event that the merger is  
not consummated, until the next annual meeting of shareholders or until their   
respective successors shall have been elected or qualified or until their       
earlier resignation or removal.                                                 

Information Concerning Existing Margo Directors

Compensation of Directors                                                       

  The directors of Margo who are not employees of Margo are paid a
quarterly retainer fee of $1,000 and an additional $1,000 for each meeting of   
the board (or committee thereof) attended, plus any travel and out-of-pocket    
expenses incurred in connection with the performance of their duties. No        
separate fees are paid for committee meetings attended on the same day as a     
regular board meeting. The directors of Margo who are employed by Margo do not  
receive additional compensation for serving as directors. Margo also provides   
directors liability insurance for its directors.                                

    As provided under Margo's 1998 Stock Option Plan ("the 1998 Plan")
adopted on April 23, 1998, any nonemployee director of Margo who is in office on
the first business day following any annual meeting of shareholders shall       
automatically receive on such date an option to acquire 2,500 shares of Common  
Stock at the market price on such date.                                         

    During 1999, Messrs. Ferraiuoli, Moss, Rubin and Mrs. Spector each
received options to acquire 2,500 shares of Common Stock at an exercise price of
$2 1/2($2 3/4for Mrs. Spector), expiring on May 17, 2009, in accordance with the
1998 Plan.                                                                      

Certain Relationships and Related Transactions                                  

Amount due from/to Principal Shareholder                                        

     In connection with the settlement of litigation with Margo's former
principal lender ("the Bank"), on May 29, 1996 Margo advanced $340,158 on behalf
of Michael J. Spector, which was the portion of the settlement that corresponded
to claims made by the Bank against Mr. Spector in his individual capacity. This 
amount was reduced by $66,506 that was due to Mr. Spector in connection with the
purchase in 1996 of a residence from a partnership controlled by Mr. Spector.   
During 1997, Margo charged Mr. Spector for certain expenses paid on his behalf. 
During March 1998, the amount owed by Mr. Spector was converted into a          
non-interest bearing note due on March 2001. At December 31, 1999 and 1998, Mr. 
Spector owed Margo $290,226.                                                    

Lease and Option to Purchase Main Nursery Farm                                  

        Effective January 1, 1993, Margo and the Spectors entered into a lease
agreement with respect to the main Puerto Rico nursery farm. The lease had an   
initial term of five years renewable for one additional term of five years at   
the option of Margo. During the initial term of the lease, rent was set at      
$19,000 per month. During the renewal term, the rent increases to the greater of
(x) $24,000 per month or (y) the original $19,000 per month adjusted on the     
basis of the increase in the Wholesale Price Index ("WPI") published by the     
United States Department of Labor, Bureau of Labor Statistics, from the WPI     
which was in effect on January 1, 1993 to the WPI in effect on January 1, 1998. 
Additionally, Margo must pay all taxes on the property, maintain certain        
insurance coverages and otherwise maintain and care for the property. The lease 
also contains an option which permits Margo to purchase the property at its     
appraised value at any time during the term of the lease. In consideration of   
the option, Margo must pay the Spectors $1,000 per month. On January 1, 1998,   
Margo exercised its renewal option at a monthly rental of $24,000. The Spectors 
have committed to grant Margo an option to extend the lease for an additional   
period of five years ending December 31, 2007.                                  

       Effective January 1, 1994, the lease agreement was amended to include
an additional 27-acre tract of land adjacent to the existing nursery facility   
for $1,750 per month. The lease terms for this additional tract did not include 
renewal or purchase options. Effective January 1, 1998, Margo and the Spectors  
entered into an amendment to the lease agreement which grants Margo the right to
continue to lease the 27 acre parcel on a month to month basis. Either party may
terminate this portion of the lease upon 30 days prior written notice. In       
connection with this amendment, the Spectors also agreed to reimburse Margo by  
no later than March 1, 2001, the unamortized value (approximately $45,000 at    
February 1, 2000) of the leasehold improvements applicable to said parcel as of 
the date of termination. This agreement terminated effective February 1, 2000.

UNITS") issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall, by
virtue of the iTract Merger and without any action on the part of the holders   
thereof, be converted into the right to receive the Merger Consideration. At the

          (b) Each of Purchaser Subsidiary's units of membership
interest issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall,  
by virtue of the iTract Merger and without any action on the part of the holder 
thereof, be converted into one unit of membership interest of the Surviving LLC.

     2.4 MERGER CONSIDERATION. The "MERGER CONSIDERATION" shall mean the
number of shares of Purchaser Common Stock equal to the difference between: (i) 
Maximum Purchaser Shares (as defined below); and (ii) the number of shares of   
Purchaser Common Stock that will be the subject of Purchaser Options pursuant to
Section 2.5 below. Each Member shall be entitled to receive its pro rata share  
of the Merger Consideration (rounded to the nearest whole number of shares of   
Purchaser Common Stock) based on the proportion that the iTract Units held by   
such Member immediately prior to Effective Time bears to the total number of    
issued and outstanding iTract Units at the Effective Time. The Maximum Purchaser
Shares shall mean the product of: (i) 0.868; and (ii) the quotient obtained by  
dividing the sum of (aa) the number of shares of Purchaser Common Stock         
outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time, and (bb) the number of     
shares of Purchaser Common Stock underlying all options, warrants and any other 
securities convertible into shares of Purchaser Common Stock which are          
outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time, by 0.132. The shares of the
Purchaser Common Stock which constitute the Merger Consideration are referred to
as the "PURCHASER SHARES."                                                      

      2.5 CONVERSION OF iTRACT OPTIONS. All of the options and warrants to
purchase iTract Units (the "iTRACT OPTIONS") outstanding immediately prior to   
the Effective Time shall, by virtue of the iTract Merger and without any further
action on the part of iTract or the holders of such options or warrants, be     
converted into options or warrants to acquire shares of the Purchaser Common    
Stock (the "Purchaser Options"). Each Purchaser Option issued in exchange for an
iTract Option shall be exercisable for that whole number of shares of Purchaser 
Common Stock (to the nearest whole share) that a holder of the number of iTract 
Units subject to such iTract Option immediately prior to the Effective Time     
would be entitled to receive under Section 2.4 hereof. The aggregate purchase   
price for the shares of Purchaser Common Stock subject to each Purchaser Option 
issued in exchange for an iTract Option shall be the same as the aggregate      
purchase price for the iTract Units subject to the corresponding iTract Option  
immediately prior to the Effective Time. Purchaser agrees that as soon as       
practicable after the Effective Time it will cause to be filed one or more      
registration statements on Form S-8 under the Securities Act in order to        
register the shares of Purchaser Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the     
converted iTract Options (if such shares may be registered on Form S-8).

                  (a) Attached to this Agreement as SCHEDULE 4.6(A) are true and
correct copies of the statements of operations and cash flows of iTract for the 
period from inception through June 30, 1999, for the six month period ended     
December 31, 1999 and for the eight month period ended February 29, 2000, and   
balance sheets as of June 30, 1999, December 31, 1999 and February 29, 2000     
(collectively the "iTRACT FINANCIAL STATEMENTS").                               

                (b) The iTract Financial Statements comply as to form in all
material respects with applicable accounting requirements and have been prepared
in conformity with GAAP consistently applied (except as may be indicated in the 
notes thereto or, in the case of unaudited financial statements, as permitted by
the rules and regulations of the SEC) and present fairly, in all material       
respects, the financial position of iTract at the dates thereof and the results 
of its operations and cash flows for the periods then ended (subject in the case
of unaudited interim financial statements to normal recurring year-end audit    
adjustments).                                                                   

               (c) Except as set forth in SCHEDULE 4.6(C), iTract does not
have any liabilities or obligations (whether known or unknown, absolute,        
accrued, contingent or otherwise and whether due or to become due) that were not
fully reflected or reserved against in the balance sheet of iTract as of        
February 29, 2000 (the "iTRACT RECENT BALANCE SHEET") except for non-material   
liabilities and obligations incurred in the ordinary course of business and     
consistent with past practice (in nature and scope) since the date thereof. The 
reserves reflected in the iTract Recent Balance Sheet are adequate, appropriate 
and reasonable and the reserves reflected in the iTract Recent Balance Sheet are
in accordance with GAAP consistently applied. Since the date of the iTract      
Recent Balance Sheet, there has been no change in the business, operations or   
financial condition of iTract which has or could reasonably be expected to have 
a Material Adverse Effect with respect to iTract.                               

4.7      TITLE TO PROPERTY; SUFFICIENCY; ENCUMBRANCES.        
--------------------------------------------

 (a) iTract has never owned any real property.

              (b) Except for those properties or assets leased by iTract
(each of which is listed in Schedule 4.8(a)), or as disclosed in SCHEDULE       
4.7(B), iTract owns all the properties and assets used in the conduct of its    
business and, with respect to contract rights, is a party to and enjoys the     
right to the benefits of all material contracts, agreements and other           
arrangements used by iTract in the conduct of its business (all such properties,
assets and contract rights being the "iTRACT ASSETS"). iTract has good and      
marketable title to all the iTract Assets, free and clear of all Encumbrances,  
except for Permitted Encumbrances. As used herein, "PERMITTED ENCUMBRANCES"     
means (i) statutory liens for current taxes or assessments not yet due or       
delinquent, and (ii) those Encumbrances disclosed on SCHEDULE 4.7(B).           

      (c) Following the consummation of the Contemplated
Transactions, the Surviving LLC will continue to own the iTract Assets without  
incurring any penalty or other adverse consequence, including, without          
limitation, any increase in royalties, or licenses or other fees imposed as a   
result of, or arising from, the consummation of the Contemplated Transactions.  
Immediately following the Effective Time, the Surviving LLC shall own and       
possess all documents,

                (a) SCHEDULE 4.8 sets forth a true and complete list of each

or rights to use all Intellectual Property necessary to the conduct of its      
business as presently conducted and as proposed to be conducted as of the date  
hereof, and no claim is pending or, to the knowledge of iTract, threatened to   
the effect that the operations of iTract infringe upon or conflict with the     
asserted rights of any other Person under any Intellectual Property and, to the 
knowledge of iTract, there is no reasonable basis for any such claim (whether or
not pending or threatened). No claim is pending or, to the knowledge of iTract, 
threatened to the effect that any such Intellectual Property owned or licensed  
by iTract or by which iTract otherwise has the right to use, is invalid or      
unenforceable by iTract, and, to the knowledge of iTract, there is no reasonable
basis for any such claim (whether or not pending or threatened). iTract has     
taken reasonable steps to establish and maintain the confidentiality of all     
manufacturing processes, formulae, trade secrets, customers lists and know how  
of iTract, and, to the knowledge of iTract, all such items have remained        
confidential. SCHEDULE 4.9 also contains a list of all licenses and sublicenses

Agreement and the consummation of the Contemplated Transactions, in violation of
any license, sublicense or agreement described in SCHEDULE 4.9.                 

               (b) The Intellectual Property owned by iTract or, for which
iTract is the exclusive licensee, are free and clear of all liens and           
encumbrances of every nature, are not currently being challenged in any way,    
have not lapsed or expired, and are not involved in any pending or, to the

               (c) Neither iTract nor any of its Affiliates has during the
preceding 5 years been sued or charged in writing with or have been a defendant

of any of the Intellectual Property of iTract. iTract has no knowledge of any   
other claim of infringement by iTract and no knowledge of any continuing        
unauthorized use, misappropriation or infringement by any party of any          
Intellectual Property of iTract. No Intellectual Property of iTract is subject  
to any outstanding order, judgment, decree, stipulation or agreement restricting
the use thereof by iTract or restricting the licensing thereof by iTract to any 
other party. Other than as set forth in SCHEDULE 4.9, iTract has not entered    
into any agreement to indemnify any other person against any charge of          
infringement of any Intellectual Property of iTract.                            

           (d) As of April 18, 2000, none of the present or former

directly or indirectly, in whole or in part, any Intellectual Property of iTract
or application therefor as set forth in SCHEDULE 4.9.

in each of such cases, for such items as would not constitute, in the aggregate,
a Material Adverse Effect with respect to Margo, Purchaser or Purchaser

Body with taxing power over it or its assets. As of the time of filing, such Tax
Returns correctly reflected the facts regarding the income, business, assets,   
operations, activities, status, and other matters of Margo and its Subsidiaries 
and any other information required to be shown thereon. In particular, such Tax 
Returns are not subject to penalties under Section 6662 of the Code or any      
predecessor provision of law or any other provision of the Code. An extension of
time within which to file any Tax Return that has not been filed has not been

Tax Returns filed by them since formation. SCHEDULE 5.6(A) lists all state,     
local and foreign jurisdictions in which Margo and its Subsidiaries have        
previously filed or currently file Tax Returns, which are all of the state,     
local or foreign taxing jurisdictions in which Margo and its Subsidiaries have  
been or are required to file Tax Returns.                                       

                  (b) With respect to all amounts in respect of Taxes imposed on
Margo and its Subsidiaries or for which Margo and its Subsidiaries are or could 
be liable, whether to Governmental Bodies (as, for example, under law) or to    
other persons or entities (as, for example, under tax allocation agreements),   
with respect to all taxable periods or portions of periods through the Effective
Time, (i) all applicable tax laws and agreements have been fully complied with, 
(ii) all such amounts required to be paid by Margo and its Subsidiaries to      
Governmental Bodies or others on or before the date hereof have been paid,      
except such taxes, if any, as are set forth in SCHEDULE 5.6(B) and are being    
contested in good faith and as to which adequate reserves (determined in        
accordance with GAAP consistently applied) have been provided in the Financial  
Statements, and (iii) reserves have been established for the payment of all     
Taxes not yet due and payable, which reserves are reflected on the Preliminary  
Balance Sheet and are adequate and in accordance with the past custom and       
practice of Margo and its Subsidiaries.

6.       COVENANTS RELATING TO REINCORPORATION AND CONTEMPLATED TRANSACTIONS.   
     -------------------------------------------------------------------

6.1      REINCORPORATION MERGER.                              
----------------------                      

            (a) From and after the date of this Agreement, Margo and
Purchaser will take all commercially reasonable actions necessary to cause Margo
to be merged with and into Purchaser, with Purchaser as the surviving           
corporation of such merger, so that as a result of such merger, Purchaser will  
assume all of the assets, liabilities, properties and rights of Margo. In       
effecting the Reincorporation Merger, Margo and Purchaser will cause each share 
of Margo Common Stock to be converted into one share of Purchaser Common Stock, 
so that immediately after the Reincorporation Merger, each Person that was      
previously a holder of Margo Common Stock will be the holder of the same number 
of shares of Purchaser Common Stock.                                            

              (b) All of the options to purchase Margo Common Stock (the
"Margo Options") outstanding as of the effective time of the Reincorporation    
Merger shall, by virtue of the Reincorporation Merger and without any further   
action on the part of Margo or the holders of such options, be converted into   
Purchaser Options in the manner provided by this Section 6.1(b). Each Purchaser 
Option issued in exchange for a Margo Option shall be exercisable for that whole
number of shares of Purchaser Common Stock (to the nearest whole share) that a  
holder of the number of Margo Common Stock subject to such Margo Option         
immediately prior to the effective time of the Reincorporation Merger would be  
entitled to receive under Section 6.1(a) of this Agreement. The aggregate       
purchase price for the shares of Purchaser Common Stock subject to each         
Purchaser Option issued in exchange for a Margo Option shall be the same as the 
aggregate purchase price for the Margo Common Stock subject to the corresponding
Margo Option immediately prior to such effective time. Purchaser agrees that as 
soon as practicable after the Effective Time it will cause to be filed one or   
more registration statements on Form S-8 under the Securities Act, in order to  
register the shares of Purchaser Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the     
converted Margo Options (if the issuance of such shares may be registered on    
Form S-8).                                                                      

6.2 REGISTRATION OF PURCHASER SHARES. In connection with the  
Reincorporation Merger, Margo and Purchaser will (i) prepare and file with the  
SEC a proxy/registration statement on Form S-4 (the "Registration Statement"),  
(ii) use commercially reasonably efforts to cause the Registration Statement to 
become effective as soon as practicable after filing, and (iii) cause the       
Registration Statement to be mailed to Margo's shareholders immediately after it
has become effective. The Registration Statement will (A) solicit proxies to    
vote in favor of (i) the Reincorporation Merger, and (ii) the approval of the   
Contemplated Transactions, including the transactions contemplated by this      
Agreement and the Asset Sale, (B) register the Purchaser Shares to be issued to 
the former shareholders of Margo in connection with the Reincorporation Merger, 
(C) register any Margo Options and any iTract Options to be outstanding after   
the Effective Date (if required); and (D)

6.4      ASSET SALE.                                          
----------                                  

  (a) Purchaser and/or Margo will take all commercially reasonable
efforts necessary to cause the Nursery Business Assets to be sold (the "ASSET   
SALE") as soon as practicable after obtaining the approval of such sale from    
Margo's shareholders. The Asset Sale shall be consummated on or prior to the    
Effective Time.                                                                 

     (b) Margo shall provide iTract with a copy of any proposed purchase
agreement for the Asset Sale prior to its execution by Margo. The terms and     
conditions of the purchase agreement must be reasonably acceptable to iTract,   
including the structure of the transaction (i.e., an asset sale or a stock      
sale). Notwithstanding the foregoing, iTract shall not be entitled to object to 
the purchase price under the proposed purchase agreement if the purchase price  
equals or exceeds $5,000,000 in cash. iTract shall either approve or disapprove 
the terms and conditions of the purchase agreement within three business days of
its delivery by Margo to iTract. Margo shall not consummate the Asset Sale on   
terms which are different from those set forth in the purchase agreement        
approved by iTract without iTract's prior written consent (which may not be     
unreasonably withheld).                                                         

6.5 NASDAQ LISTING. Margo shall timely notify Nasdaq of the   
Contemplated Transactions and the shares to be issued in connection therewith.  
The Parties shall together take such actions as are reasonably required to      
obtain the approval of Nasdaq to list the Purchaser Shares on The Nasdaq        
SmallCap Market immediately upon the effectiveness of the iTract Merger (the    
"NASDAQ LISTING").                                                              

    6.6 STOCKHOLDERS APPROVAL. Margo shall use commercially reasonable
efforts to obtain the approval of its stockholders (the "STOCKHOLDER APPROVAL") 
of the Contemplated Transactions (to the extent required by applicable law and  
the rules of Nasdaq) as soon as practicable following the date upon which the   
Registration Statement is declared effective by the SEC. Subject to the         
fiduciary duties of the Board of Directors of Margo under applicable law, Margo 
shall, through its Board of Directors, recommend to the holders of Margo Common 
Stock approval of this Agreement and the transactions contemplated by this      
Agreement.                                                                      

        6.7 VOTING AGREEMENT OF SPECTOR. Concurrent with the execution of this
Agreement, Michael J. Spector, the principal shareholder of Margo, has entered  
into an agreement with iTract in the form of EXHIBIT C, pursuant to which Mr.   
Spector has agreed to vote all of the shares of Margo Common Stock held by him  
in favor of the Contemplated Transactions.                                      

   6.8 iTRACT LOCK-UP AGREEMENTS. Prior to the effective date of the
Registration Statement, iTract and ICES shall cause each of the Members         
receiving Purchaser Shares in the Merger (and each person who may receive shares
of Purchaser Common Stock upon the exercise of any iTract Options) to execute   
and deliver to Purchaser the iTract Lock-Up Agreement in the form of EXHIBIT

     9.9 CONSENTS: REGULATORY APPROVAL. Each Party will use commercially

 9.11 INDEMNIFICATION OF FORMER DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS OF MARGO,

          (a) From and after the Effective Time, Purchaser shall
indemnify and hold harmless each present and former officer and director of     
Margo, Purchaser, Purchaser Subsidiary and the other Subsidiaries of Margo prior
to the Effective Time (the "INDEMNIFIED PARTIES"), against all claims, losses,  
liabilities, damages, judgments, fines, fees, costs and expenses, including     
without limitation, attorney's fees and disbursements (collectively, "COSTS")   
incurred in connection with any claim, action, suit, proceeding or              
investigation, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, arising
out of or pertaining to matters existing or occurring at or prior to the        
Effective Time (including without limitation this Agreement and the Contemplated
Transactions) whether asserted or claimed prior to, at or prior to the Effective
Time, to the fullest extent permitted under the Certificate of Incorporation and
Bylaws of Margo or Purchaser, as the case may be, as in effect immediately prior
to the consummation of the Reincorporation Merger, including provisions relating
to advances and expenses incurred in the defense of any claim, actions, suit,   
proceeding or investigation. Without limiting the foregoing, in the event that  
any claim, action, suit or proceeding or investigation is brought against the   
Indemnified Party (whether arising before or after the Effective Time), the     
Indemnified Party may retain counsel satisfactory to such Indemnified Party and

reasonably satisfactory to Purchaser and Purchaser shall advances the fees and  
expenses of such counsel for the Indemnified Party in accordance with the       
Certificate of Incorporation or Bylaws of the Purchaser in effect immediately   
prior to the consummation of the iTract Merger, provided that as a condition to 
the advance of expenses, the indemnified party must execute an undertaking to   
reimburse Purchaser if indemnified party is ultimately determined not to be     
entitled to indemnity.                                                          

                (b) In the event that the Purchaser or any of its successors
or assigns (i) consolidates with, or merges into another person and shall be not
the continuing or surviving corporation of such consolidation or merger or (ii) 
transfers or conveys all or substantially all of its property assets to any     
person, then, in any such case, to the extent necessary to effectuate the       
purposes of this Section 9.11, proper provision shall be made so that the       
successors and assigns of Purchaser shall succeed to the obligations set forth  
in this Section 9.11.

Parties shall promptly supplement or amend the Schedules to this Agreement with 
respect to any matter arising after the date of this Agreement which, if        
EXISTING or occurring at the date of this Agreement, would have been required to
have been set forth in the Schedules to this Agreement. Such supplement or      
amendment shall have the effect of curing any related misrepresentation or      
breach of warranty made in connection with the transactions contemplated by this
Agreement; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that if such misrepresentation or breach is       
material, each Party shall have a commercially reasonable period of time        
following receipt of any supplemented or amended Schedules to elect (i) to      
terminate this Agreement without any further liability to the Parties or (ii) in
such non-amending Party's sole discretion, to waive such breach and consummate

otherwise arrange to release iTract from such liabilities), PROVIDED, HOWEVER,  
that the amount of $525,000 (plus interest) payable by iTract to Core Active ACG
LLC on demand, may remain as a liability of iTract. iTract acknowledges that the
amounts to be converted to capital contributions (or released) include, without

Party hereto of a breach of any provision of this Agreement shall not operate or
be construed as a waiver of any other breach.                                   

11.10    DISPUTE RESOLUTION.                                  
------------------                          

           (a) The Parties agree to attempt initially to solve all
claims, disputes or controversies arising under, out of or in connection with   
this Agreement by conducting good faith negotiations. If the Parties are unable 
to settle the matter between themselves, the matter shall thereafter be resolved
by alternative dispute resolution, starting with mediation and including, if    
necessary, a final and binding arbitration.                                     

              (b) Whenever a Party shall decide to institute arbitration
proceedings, it shall give written notice to that effect to the other Parties.  
The Party giving such notice shall refrain from instituting the arbitration     
proceedings for a period of sixty (60) days following such notice. During such  
period, the Parties shall make good faith efforts to amicably resolve the       
dispute without arbitration. Any arbitration hereunder shall be conducted under 
the rules of the American Arbitration Association. Each such arbitration shall  
be conducted by a panel of three arbitrators with one arbitrator being appointed
by Margo (or by Purchaser if the Reincorporation Merger shall have been         
previously effected), one arbitrator shall be appointed by iTract and the third 
shall be appointed by the American Arbitration Association.                     

                 (c) Any such arbitration shall be held in New York, New York.
The arbitrators shall have the authority to grant specific performance. Judgment
upon the award so rendered may be entered in any court having jurisdiction or   
application may be made to such court for judicial acceptance of any award and  
an order of enforcement, as the case may be. In no event shall a demand for     
arbitration be made after the date when institution of a legal or equitable     
proceeding based on such claim, dispute or other matter in question would be    
barred under this Agreement or by the applicable statute of limitations.

Attention:    Members of the Board Of Directors                                 

Gentlemen:                                                                      

You have requested that the Schwartz Heslin Group, Inc. ("SHG") deliver an      
Opinion to the Board of Directors of Margo Caribe, Inc. ("Margo"), a Puerto Rico
corporation, that from a financial point of view, the following merger          
transaction with respect to itract, LLC ("itract" or the "Company") is fair to  
Margo's existing shareholders:                                                  

Under the Agreement and Plan of Merger by and among Margo Caribe, Inc.
 ("Margo") and itract, LLC ("itract,") dated April 11, 2000, itract, LLC
    members would receive 86.8% of the issued and outstanding shares of common
stock of Margo (on a fully diluted basis) in exchange for all of the  
membership units of itract. Margo will sell its existing operating    
  businesses prior to the merger. In addition, Margo must have at least $5
million in cash and cash equivalents and not be subject to liabilities
    exceeding $10,000 as of the time of the effective closing. With respect to
itract, LLC, certain existing liabilities representing International  
 Commerce Exchange Systems, Inc. ("ICES") funded services and activities
 will be converted to contributed capital in the amount of approximately
$384,000.                                                             

SHG issued a Valuation Report, which is an integral part of this Fairness       
Opinion, on the Company as of March 31, 2000. The Valuation Report contains     
detailed descriptions of our quantitative and qualitative analyses and          
conclusions; the statement of valuation assumptions and limiting conditions; SHG
credentials; engagement letter; and a signed indemnification agreement.         

In conducting our analysis and arriving at our Opinion as expressed herein, we  
have considered such financial and other factors, as we have deemed appropriate 
under the circumstances. We have reviewed, among other things, without          
limitation, the following: (i) the March 17, 2000 itract, LLC Business Plan (ii)
certain internal information, financial and operational in nature (including

April 11, 2000

projections prepared by itract and ICES management) concerning the business and 
operations of itract; (iii) certain available information concerning the trading
of, and the trading market for, the Common Stock of Margo Caribe, Inc.; (iv)    
certain publicly available information with respect to other companies that we  
believe to be comparable in certain respects to itract (or one or more of its   
business segments) and the trading markets for certain of such other companies' 
securities as of March 31, 2000. We have also met with certain officers and     
employees of itract to discuss the foregoing as well as other matters we believe
relevant to our inquiry. We have also taken into account our assessment of      
market and financial conditions, as well as our experience in connection with   
similar transactions and valuations generally including economic, business, and 
financial market changes since March 31, 2000 through the signing of the Merger 
Agreement on April 11, 2000.                                                    

In arriving at our Opinion, we have assumed and relied upon the accuracy and    
completeness of all of the financial and other information provided us or       
publicly available and have not attempted independently to verify any of such   
information, nor have we made or obtained any independent evaluations or        
appraisals of itract's ability to achieve its Business Plan as presented.       
Accordingly, we express no opinion or any form of assurance for the underlying  
data presented in this opinion and/or the Valuation Report nor do we express any
opinion or any form of assurance that itract can achieve its Business Plan as   
presented. This Opinion, along with the Valuation Report, are to be used only   
for the one purpose stated. Any use or reliance of this report for any other    
purpose by you or third parties is invalid.                                     

SHG is independent of itract, LLC, International Commerce Exchange Systems, Inc.
and Margo Caribe, Inc. and has no financial interest in either of these         
businesses. Our fee for this Opinion is in no way influenced by the results of  
our analysis.

Dear Members of the Board:                                                      

  Margo Caribe, Inc. (the "Company") and iTract, LLC ("iTract"), a
developmental stage internet company, have entered into an Agreement and Plan of
Merger dated as of April 11, 2000 (the "Agreement"). Under the Agreement, the   
Company would first reincorporate as a Delaware corporation pursuant to a merger
with a newly created Delaware corporation. A subsidiary of the new Delaware     
corporation would then merge with iTract (the "iTract Merger"). As a condition  
prior to consummating the iTract Merger, the Company is required to sell its    
nursery and other operating businesses.                                         

     You have asked us to advise you with respect to the fairness to the
Company, from a financial point of view, of the consideration to be received by 
the Company pursuant to the terms of the Stock Purchase Agreement, dated as of  
June 30, 2000 (the "Stock Purchase Agreement"), between the Company and Empresas
Margo, Inc., a Puerto Rico corporation ("Empresas Margo"). The Stock Purchase   
Agreement provides for the purchase by Empresas Margo, or an entity owned and   
controlled by Empresas Margo, of all of the issued and outstanding shares (the  
"Shares") of Margo Nursery Farms, Inc., Margo Garden Products, Inc., Margo      
Landscaping & Design, Inc., Rain Forest Products, Inc., and Margo Development   
Corp. (the "Subsidiaries"), which are wholly-owned subsidiaries of the Company  
(the "Transaction"). In consideration of the aforesaid Transaction, Empresas    
Margo shall pay to the Company a cash payment of $5.0 million plus the          
assumption of the outstanding debt (after application of the cash collateral    
securing this debt) of Margo. As of May 31, 2000, the outstanding principal     
amount of the debt to be assumed was approximately $812,000 (the                
"Consideration").                                                               

         In arriving at our opinion, we have reviewed certain publicly available
business and financial information relating to the Company, as well as the Stock
Purchase Agreement. We have also reviewed certain other information, including  
financial forecasts, provided to us by the Company and have met with the        
Company's management to discuss the business and prospects of the Company.      

        We have also considered certain financial and stock market data of the
Company, and we have compared that data with similar data for other publicly    
held companies in businesses similar to the Company and we have considered the  
financial terms of certain other business combinations and other transactions   
which have recently been effected. We also considered such other information,   
financial studies, analyses and investigations and financial, economic and      
market criteria which we deemed relevant. At the request of the Board of        
Directors of the Company, we solicited indications of interest in acquiring the 
Subsidiaries from certain U.S. nursery companies and other third parties        
specifically identified to us by the Company.

FAIRNESS OPINION LETTER--MARGO CARIBE, INC.                                     
June 30, 2000

       In connection with our review, we have not assumed any responsibility
for independent verification of any of the foregoing information and have relied
on its being complete and accurate in all material respects. With respect to the
financial forecasts, we have assumed that they have been reasonably prepared on 
bases reflecting the best currently available estimates and judgments of the    
Company's management as to the future financial performance of the Company. In  
addition, we have not been requested to make, and have not made, an independent 
evaluation or appraisal of the assets or liabilities (contingent or otherwise)  
of the Company nor have we been furnished with any such evaluations or          
appraisals. Our opinion is necessarily based upon financial, economic, market   
and other conditions as they exist and can be evaluated on the date hereof.     

   With respect to the iTract Merger and Agreement, we have not been
provided and have not reviewed the terms of the iTract Merger, the Agreement, or
any information relating to iTract or any of the possible financial effects of  
the iTract Merger. We understand that, as of the date hereof, the iTract Merger 
is still pending based on the completion of certain terms and conditions,       
including the sale of the Subsidiaries. Accordingly, we have not been requested 
to opine as to, and our opinion does not in any manner take into consideration  
any possible financial, business, economic or other consequence of the iTract   
Merger to the Company or the shareholders of the Company.                       

         We have acted as the Company's financial advisor in connection with the
sale of the Subsidiaries and will receive a fee for our services, a significant 
portion of which is contingent upon the consummation of the sale of the         
Subsidiaries. We have also received a fee for rendering this opinion.           

      In the ordinary course of business, our affiliate holds accounts for
certain customers that may, at any time, hold a position in the Company's common
stock.                                                                          

         It is understood that this letter is for the information of the Company
only in connection with its consideration of the Transaction, does not          
constitute a recommendation to any stockholder as to how such stockholder should
vote on the proposed Transaction and is not to be quoted or referred to, in     
whole or in part, nor shall this letter be used for any other purposes, without 
our prior written consent; provided, however, that this letter may be included  
in its entirety in any proxy statement/prospectus to be distributed to the      
holders of Margo common stock in connection with the Transaction and the iTract 
Merger.                                                                         

        Based upon and subject to the foregoing, it is our opinion that, as of
the date hereof, the Consideration to be received by the Company in the         
Transaction is fair to the Company, from a financial point of view.             

Very truly yours,

PUERTO RICO GENERAL CORPORATIONS LAW

 CHAPTER 10. MERGER OR CONSOLIDATION

Article 10.12.  Appraisal Rights.                                               

      A. Any stockholder of a corporation organized in the Commonwealth of
Puerto Rico (i) who holds shares of stock on the date of the making of a demand 
pursuant to subsection (D) of this section with respect to such shares, (ii) who
continuously holds such shares through the effective date of the merger or      
consolidation,(iii) who has otherwise complied with subsection (D) of this      
section and (iv) who has neither voted in favor of the merger or consolidation  
nor consented thereto in writing pursuant to section 7.17 of this act shall be  
entitled to an appraisal by the Court of First Instance (Superior Part) of the  
fair value of his shares of stock under the circumstances described in          
subsections (B) and (C) of this section. As used in this section, the word      
"stockholder" means a holder of record of stock in a stock corporation, and also
a member of record of a nonstock corporation. The words "stock" and "share" mean
and include what is ordinarily meant by those words and also membership or      
membership interest of a member of a nonstock corporation. The words "depository
receipt" mean a receipt or other instrument issued by a depository representing 
an interest in one or more shares, or fractions thereof, solely of stock of a   
corporation, which stock is deposited with the depository.                      

   B. Appraisal rights shall be available for the shares of any class or
series of stock of a constituent corporation in a merger [or consolidation] to  
be effected pursuant to sections 10.01,10.02, 10.04, 10.07 or 10.08 of this act:

             1. Provided, however, that no appraisal rights under this section
shall be available for the shares of any class or series of stock, which stock, 
or depository receipts in respect thereof, at the record date fixed to determine
the stockholders entitled to receive notice of and to vote at the meeting of    
stockholders to act upon the agreement of merger or consolidation, were either: 

                  (i)   listed on a national securities exchange or the National
                        Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. (NASDAQ)-NMS; or

          (ii)  held of record by more than two thousand (2,000)
                       holders. No appraisal rights shall be available for any
                        shares of stock of the constituent corporation surviving
                       a merger if the merger did not require for its approval
             the vote of the stockholders of the surviving
                    corporation as provided in subsection (F) of section
10.01 of this act.              

          2. Notwithstanding paragraph (1) of this subsection, appraisal
rights under this section shall be available for the shares of any class or     
series of stock of a constituent corporation if the holders thereof are required
by the terms of an agreement of merger or consolidation pursuant to sections    
10.01, 10.02, 10.04, 10.07 and 10.08 of this act to accept for such stock       
anything except:                                                                

         (i)   shares of stock of the corporation surviving or
               resulting from such merger or consolidation, or
       depository receipts in respect thereof;

                 (ii)  shares of stock of any other corporation, or depository
                     receipts in respect thereof, which shares of stock or
                       depository receipts at the effective date of the merger
                    or consolidation will be either listed on a national
                  securities exchange or the National Association of
                       Securities Dealers, Inc. (NASDAQ)-NMS or held of record
          by more than two thousand (2,000) holders;

         (iii) cash in lieu of fractional shares or fractional
              depository receipts described in the foregoing
                subparagraphs (i) and (ii) of this paragraph; or

               (iv)  any combination of the I shares of stock, [depository
                  receipts] and cash in lieu of fractional shares or
               fractional depository receipts described in the
                   foregoing subparagraphs (i), (ii) and (iii) of this
paragraph.                      

     3. In the event all of the stock of a subsidiary domestic
corporation party to a merger effected under section 10.03 of this act is not   
owned by the parent corporation immediately prior to the merger, appraisal      
rights shall be available for the shares of the subsidiary domestic corporation.

      C. Any, corporation may provide in its certificate of incorporation that
appraisal rights under this section shall be available for the shares of any    
class or series of its stock as a result of an amendment to its certificate of  
incorporation, any merger or consolidation in which the corporation is a        
constituent corporation or the sale of all or substantially all of the assets of
the corporation. If the certificate of incorporation contains such a provision, 
the procedures of this section; ,including those set forth in subsections (D)   
and (E) of this section, shall apply as nearly as is practicable.               

D. Appraisal rights shall be perfected as follows:                  

         1. If a proposed merger or consolidation for which appraisal rights are
provided under this section is to be submitted for approval at a meeting of     
stockholders, the corporation, not less than twenty (20) days prior to the      
meeting, shall notify each of its stockholders who was such on the record date  
for such meeting with respect to shares for which appraisal rights are available
pursuant to subsection (B) or (C) hereof that appraisal rights are available for
any or all of the shares of the constituent corporations, and shall include in  
such notice a copy of this section. Each stockholder electing to demand the     
appraisal of his shares shall deliver to the corporation, before the taking of  
the vote on the merger or consolidation, a written demand for appraisal of his  
shares. Such demand will be sufficient if it reasonably informs the corporation 
of the identity of the stockholder and that the stockholder intends thereby to  
demand the appraisal of his shares. A proxy or vote against the merger or       
consolidation shall not constitute such a demand. A stockholder electing to take
such action must do so by a separate written demand as herein provided. Within  
ten (10) days after the effective date of such merger or consolidation, the     
surviving or resulting corporation shall notify each stockholder of each        
constituent corporation who has complied with this subsection and has not voted 
in favor of or consented to the merger or consolidation of the date that the    
merger or consolidation has become effective; or                                

         2. If the merger or consolidation was approved pursuant to section 7.17
or 10.03 of this act, the surviving or resulting corporation, either before the 
effective date of the merger or consolidation or within ten (10) days           
thereafter, shall notify each of the stockholders entitled to appraisal rights  
of the effective date of the merger or consolidation and that Appraisal rights  
are available for any or all of the shares of the constituent corporation. Such 
notice shall include a copy of this section. The notice shall be sent by        
certified or registered mail, return receipt requested, addressed to the        
stockholder at his Address as it appears on the records of the corporation. Any 
stockholder entitled to appraisal rights may, within twenty (20) days after the 
date of mailing of the notice, demand in writing from the surviving or resulting
corporation the appraisal of his shares. Such demand will be sufficient if it   
reasonably informs the corporation of the identity of the stockholder and that  
the stockholder intends thereby to demand the appraisal of his shares.          

     E. Within one hundred and twenty (120) days after the effective date of
the merger or consolidation, the surviving or resulting corporation or any      
stockholder who has complied with subsections (A) and (D) hereof and who is     
otherwise entitled to appraisal rights, may file a petition in the Court of     
First Instance (Superior Part) demanding a determination of the value of the    
stock of all such stockholders. Notwithstanding the foregoing, at any time      
within sixty (60) days after the effective date of the merger or consolidation, 
any stockholder shall have the right to withdraw his demand for appraisal and to
accept the terms offered upon the merger or consolidation. Within one hundred   
twenty (120) days after the effective date of the merger or consolidation, any  
stockholder who has complied with the requirements of subsections (A) and (D)   
hereof, upon written request, shall be entitled to receive from the corporation 
surviving the merger or resulting from the consolidation a statement setting    
forth the aggregate number of shares not voted in favor

of the merger or consolidation and with respect to which demands for Appraisal  
have been received and the aggregate number of holders of such shares. Such     
written statement shall be mailed to the stockholder within ten (10) days after 
his written request for such a statement is received by the surviving or        
resulting corporation or within ten (10) days after expiration of the period for
delivery of demands for appraisal under subsection (D), hereof, whichever is    
later.                                                                          

    F. Upon the filing of any such petition by A stockholder, service of a
copy thereof shall be made upon the surviving or resulting corporation, which   
shall within twenty (20) days after such service file in the office of the      
Department of State in which the petition was filed a duly verified list        
containing the names and addresses of all stockholders who have demanded payment
for their shares and with whom agreements as to the value of their shares have  
not been reached by the surviving, or resulting corporation. If the petition    
shall be filed by the surviving or resulting corporation; the petition shall be 
accompanied by such a duly verified list. The Department of State, if so ordered
by the Court, shall give notice of the Puerto Rico Taxes time and place fixed   
for the hearing of such petition by registered or certified mail to the         
surviving or resulting corporation and to the stockholders shown on the list at 
the addresses therein stated. Such notice shall also be given by one or more    
publications at least one week before the day of the hearing, in a newspaper of 
general circulation published in San Juan, Puerto Rico or such publication as   
the Court deems advisable. The form of the notice by mail and by publication    
shall be approved by the Court. and the costs thereof shall be borne by the     
surviving or resulting corporation.                                             

       G. At the hearing on such petition. the Court of First Instance (Superior
Part),shall determine the stockholders who have complied with this section and  
who have become entitled to appraisal rights. The Court may require the         
stockholders who have demanded an appraisal for their shares and who hold stock 
represented by certificates to submit their certificates of stock to the        
Department of State for notation thereon of the pendency of the appraisal       
proceedings. If any stockholder fails to comply with such direction, the Court  
may dismiss the proceedings as to such stockholder.                             

       H. After determining the stockholders entitled to an appraisal, the Court
of First Instance (Superior-Part) shall determine their fair value taking into  
consideration the fair rate of interest, if any, to be paid upon the amount     
determined to be the fair value. In determining such fair value, the Court shall
take into account all relevant factors. In determining the fair rate of         
interest, the Court may consider all relevant factors, including the rate of    
interest which the surviving or resulting corporation would have had to pay to  
borrow money during the pendency of the proceeding. In determining the fair     
value of the shares, the Court shall not take into consideration any element of 
value arising from the accomplishment or expectation of the merger or           
consolidation.                                                                  

      Upon application by the surviving or resulting corporation or by any
stockholder entitled to participate in the appraisal proceeding, the Court may, 
in its discretion, permit discovery or other pretrial proceedings and may       
proceed to trial upon the appraisal prior to the final determination of the     
stockholder entitled to an appraisal. Any stockholder whose name appears on the 
list filed by the surviving or resulting corporation pursuant to subsection (F) 
of this section and who has submitted his certificates of stock to the          
Department of State, if such is required, may participate fully in all          
proceedings until it is finally determined that he is not entitled to appraisal,
rights under this section.                                                      

    I. The Court shall direct the payment of the fair value of the shares,
together with interest, if any, by the surviving or resulting corporation to the
stockholders entitled thereto. Payment shall be so made to each such            
stockholder, in the case of holders of uncertificated stock forthwith, and the  
case of holders of shares represented by certificates upon the surrender to the 
corporation of the certificates representing such stock. The Court's decree may 
be enforced as other decrees in the Court of First Instance (Superior Part) may 
be enforced, whether such surviving or resulting corporation be a domestic or   
foreign corporation.                                                            

     J. The costs of the proceeding may be determined by the Court and taxed
upon the parties as the Court deems equitable in the circumstances. Upon        
application of a stockholder, the Court may order all or a portion of the       
expenses incurred by, any stockholder in, connection with the appraisal         
proceeding, including, without limitation, reasonable attorney's fees and the   
fees and expenses of experts, to be charged pro rata against the value of all   
the shares entitled to an appraisal.

     K. From and after the effective date of the merger or consolidation, no
stockholder who has demanded his appraisal rights as provided in subsection (D) 
of this section shall be entitled to vote such stock for any purpose or to      
receive payment of dividends or other distributions on the stock (except        
dividends or other distributions payable to stockholders of record at a date    
which is prior to the effective date of the merger or consolidation). If no     
petition for an appraisal shall be filed within the time provided in subsection 
(E) of this section, or if such stockholder shall deliver to the surviving or   
resulting corporation a written withdrawal of his demand for an appraisal and an
acceptance of the merger or consolidation, either within sixty (60) days after  
the effective date of the merger or consolidation as provided in subsection (E) 
of this section or thereafter with the written approval of the corporation, then
the right of such stockholder to an appraisal shall cease. Notwithstanding the  
foregoing, no appraisal proceeding in the Court of First Instance (Superior     
Part) shall be dismissed as to any stockholder without the approval of the      
Court, and such approval may be conditioned upon such terms as the Court deems  
just.                                                                           

  L. The shares of the surviving or resulting corporation to which the
shares of such objecting stockholders would have been converted had they        
assented to the merger or consolidation shall have the status of authorized, and
unissued shares of the surviving or resulting corporation.

brought before an annual meeting, business must be specified in the notice of   
meeting (or any supplement thereto) given by or at the direction of the board,

must be so received not later than the close of business on the 10th day        
following the day on which such notice of the date of the annual meeting was    
mailed or such public disclosure was made. A stockholder's notice to the        
Secretary shall set forth as to each matter the stockholder proposes to bring   
before the annual meeting: (i) a brief description of the business desired to be

shares of the Corporation which are beneficially owned by the stockholder, and  
(iv) any material interest of the stockholder in such business.                 

              Notwithstanding anything in the Bylaws to the contrary, no
business shall be conducted at any annual meeting except in accordance with the 
procedures set forth in this Section 11 of this Article II provided, however,   
that nothing in this Section 11 of this Article II shall be deemed to preclude  
discussion by any stockholder of any business properly brought before the annual
meeting in accordance with said procedure.                                      

                  The chairman of an annual meeting shall, if the facts warrant,
determine and declare to the meeting that business was not properly brought     
before the meeting in accordance with the provisions of this Section 11 of this 
Article II, and if he should so determine, he shall so declare to the meeting   
and any such business not properly brought before the meeting shall not be      
transacted.                                                                     

       In addition to the provisions of this Section 11, a
stockholder shall also comply with the applicable requirements of the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), and the rules and        
regulations promulgated thereunder with respect to the matters set forth herein.
Nothing in these Bylaws shall be deemed to affect the rights of any stockholder 
to request inclusion of proposals in the Corporation's proxy statement pursuant 
to Rule 14a-8 under the Exchange Act.

of the class of directors in which the new directorship was created or the      
vacancy occurred and until such director's successors shall have been duly      
elected and qualified, or until their earlier resignation or removal. No        
decrease in the number of directors constituting the board of directors shall   
shorten the term of any incumbent director.

direction of the Board of Directors. In addition to the powers and authorities  
by these Bylaws expressly conferred upon them, the Board may exercise all such  
powers of the Corporation and do all such lawful acts and things as are not by  
statute or by the Certificate of Incorporation or by these Bylaws directed or   
required to be exercised or done by the stockholders.

thereof stating the place, date and hour of the meetings shall be given to each 
director either by mail not less than forty-eight (48) hours before the date of 
the meeting, by telephone, facsimile, email or telegram on twenty-four (24)     
hours notice, or on such shorter notice as the person or persons calling such   
meeting may deem necessary or appropriate in the circumstances.                 

              Section 6. Quorum. Except as may be otherwise specifically
provided by law, the Certificate of Incorporation or these Bylaws, at all

quorum shall be the act of the Board of Directors. If a quorum shall not be     
present at any meeting of the Board of Directors, the directors present thereat 
may adjourn the meeting from time to time, without notice other than            
announcement at the meeting, until a quorum shall be present. If only one       
director is authorized, such sole director shall constitute a quorum.           

                 Section 7. Actions of Board. Unless otherwise provided by the
Certificate of Incorporation or these Bylaws, any action required or permitted  
to be taken at any meeting of the Board of Directors or of any committee thereof
may be taken without a meeting, if all the members of the Board of Directors or 
committee, as the case may be, consent thereto in writing, and the writing or   
writings are filed with the minutes of proceedings of the Board of Directors or 
committee.                                                                      

                Section 8. Meetings by Means of Conference Telephone. Unless

of the Board of Directors of the Corporation, or any committee designated by the
Board of Directors, may participate in a meeting of the Board of Directors or   
such committee by means of a conference telephone or similar communications     
equipment by means of which all persons participating in the meeting can hear   
each other, and such participation in a meeting pursuant to this Section 8 shall
constitute presence in person at such meeting.                                  

         Section 9. Committees. The Board of Directors may, by

designate one or more committees, each such committee to consist of one or more 
of the directors of the Corporation. The Board of Directors may designate one or
more directors as alternate members of any committee, who may replace any absent
or disqualified member at any meeting of any such committee. In the absence or  
disqualification of a member of a committee, and in the absence of a designation
by the Board of Directors of an alternate member to replace the absent or       
disqualified member, the member or members thereof present at any meeting and   
not disqualified from voting, whether or not he or they constitute a quorum, may
unanimously appoint another member of the Board of Directors to act at the      
meeting in the place of any absent or disqualified member. Any committee, to the
extent allowed by law and provided in the resolution establishing such          
committee, shall have and may exercise all the powers and authority of the Board
of Directors in the management of the business and affairs of the Corporation,  
and may authorize the seal of the Corporation to be affixed to all papers which 
may require it; but no such committee shall have the power or authority in      
reference to amending the Certificate of Incorporation, adopting an agreement of
merger or consolidation, recommending to the stockholders the sale, lease or    
exchange of all or substantially all of the Corporation's property and assets,  
recommending to the stockholders a dissolution of the Corporation or a

provides, no such committee shall have the power or authority to declare a      
dividend or to authorize the issuance of stock. Each committee shall keep       
regular minutes of its meetings and report the same to the Board of Directors   
when required.                                                                  

                Section 10. Chairman of the Board of Directors. The Board of
Directors in its discretion may choose a Chairman of the Board of Directors (who
must be a director). The Chairman of the Board of Directors, if there be one,   
shall preside at all meetings of the stockholders and of the Board of Directors.
The Chairman of the Board of Directors shall also perform such other duties and 
may exercise such other powers as from time to time may be assigned to him by   
these Bylaws or by the Board of Directors.                                      

                Section 11. Compensation. Unless otherwise restricted by the
Certificate of Incorporation or these Bylaws, the Board of Directors shall have 
the authority to fix the compensation of directors. The directors may be paid   
their expenses, if any, of attendance at each meeting of the Board of Directors 
and may be paid a fixed sum for attendance at each meeting of the Board of      
Directors or a stated salary as director. No such payment shall preclude any    
director from serving the Corporation in any other capacity and receiving       
compensation therefor. Members of special or standing committees may be allowed 
like reimbursement of expenses for attending committee meetings.                

                Section 12. Interested Directors. No contract or transaction
between the Corporation and one or more of its

partnership, association, or other organization in which one or more of its     
directors or officers are directors or officers, or have a financial interest,

or officer is present at or participates in the meeting of the Board of         
Directors or committee thereof which authorizes the contract or transaction, or 
solely because his or their votes are counted for such purpose if (i) the       
material facts as to his or their relationship or interest and as to the        
contract or transaction are disclosed or are known to the Board of Directors or 
their committee, and the Board of Directors or committee in good faith          
authorizes the contract or transaction by the affirmative votes of a majority of
the disinterested directors, even though the disinterested directors be less    
than a quorum; or (ii) the material facts as to his or their relationship or    
interest and as to the contract or transaction are disclosed or are known to the
shareholders entitled to vote thereon, and the contract or transaction is       
specifically approved in good faith by vote of the shareholders; or (iii) the   
contract or transaction is fair as to the Corporation as of the time it is      
authorized, approved or ratified, by the Board of Directors, a committee thereof
or the shareholders. Common or interested directors may be counted in           
determining the presence of a quorum at a meeting of the Board of Directors or  
of a committee which authorizes the contract or transaction.

          Section 13. Indemnification. (a) The Corporation shall
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 (other than 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 attorneys' fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid 
in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by him in connection with such   
action, suit or proceeding if he acted in good faith and in a manner he         
reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interest 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, shall 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, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had        
reasonable cause to believe that his conduct was unlawful.

                  (b) The Corporation shall 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 attorneys' fees) actually and reasonably incurred by him in 
connection with the defense or settlement of such action or suit if he acted in 
good faith and in a manner he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the
best interest of the Corporation and except that no such indemnification shall  
be made in respect of any claim, issue or matter as to which such person shall  
have been adjudged to be liable to the Corporation unless and only to the extent
that the Court of Chancery of Delaware or the court in which such action or suit
was brought shall determine upon application that, despite the adjudication of  
liability but in view of all the circumstances of the case, such person is      
fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for such expenses which such Court  
of Chancery or such other court shall deem proper.

any action, suit or proceeding referred to in paragraphs (a) and (b), or in     
defense of any claim, issue

attorneys' fees) actually and reasonably incurred by such person in connection  
herewith.                                                                       

                (d) Any indemnification under paragraphs (a) and (b) (unless
ordered by a court) shall be made by the Corporation only as authorized in the  
specific case upon a determination that indemnification of the present or former
director, officer, employee or agent is proper in the circumstances because he  
has met the applicable standard of conduct set forth in paragraphs (a) and (b). 
Such determination shall be made, with respect to person who is a director or   
officer at the time of such determination, (1) by the Board of Directors by a   
majority vote of a quorum consisting of directors who were not parties to such  
action, suit or proceeding, or (2) by a committee of such directors designated  
by a majority vote of such directors, even though less than a quorum, or (3) if

counsel in a written opinion, or (4) by the stockholders.

civil or criminal action, suit or proceeding may be paid by the Corporation in  
advance of the final disposition of such action, suit or proceeding upon receipt
of an undertaking by or on behalf of such director or officer to repay such     
amount if it shall ultimately be determined that such person is not entitled to 
be indemnified by the Corporation as authorized in this Section 13. Such        
expenses incurred by former directors and

by, or granted pursuant to, the other paragraphs of this Section 13 shall not be
deemed exclusive of any other rights to which those seeking indemnification or  
advancement of expenses may be entitled under any bylaw, agreement, vote of     
stockholders or disinterested directors or otherwise, both as to action in such 
person's official capacity and as to action in another capacity while holding   
such office.

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 any liability     
asserted against such person and incurred by such person in any such capacity,  
or arising out of such person's status as such, whether or not the Corporation  
would have the power to indemnify such person against such liability under the  
provisions of this Section 13.                                                  

               (h)      For the purposes of this Section 13, references to

case any officer, transfer agent or registrar who has signed or whose facsimile 
signature has been placed upon a certificate shall have ceased to be such

of stock to be lost, stolen or destroyed. When authorizing such issue of a new  
certificate, the Board of Directors may, in its discretion and as a condition   
precedent to the issuance thereof, require the owner of such lost, stolen or    
destroyed certificate, or his legal representative, to advertise the same in    
such manner as the Board of Directors shall require and/or to give the          
Corporation a bond in such sum as it may direct as indemnity against any claim  
that may be made against the Corporation with respect to the certificate alleged
to have been lost, stolen or destroyed.

or for the purpose of any other lawful action, the Board of Directors may fix,  
in advance, a record date, which shall not be more than sixty days nor less than
ten days before the date of such meeting, nor more than sixty days prior to any 
other action. A determination of stockholders of record entitled to notice of or
to vote at a meeting of stockholders shall apply to any adjournment of the      
meeting; provided, however, that the Board of Directors may fix a new record    
date for the adjourned meeting.

liable for calls and assessments a person registered on its books as the owner  
of shares, and shall not be bound to recognize any equitable or other claim to  
or interest in such share or shares of the part of any other person, whether or 
not it shall have

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT                                                    

To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of                                   
Margo Caribe, Inc.                                                              
Vega Alta, Puerto Rico                                                          

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Margo Caribe,   
Inc. and subsidiaries as of December 31, 1999 and 1998, and the related         
consolidated statements of operations, shareholders' equity, and cash flows for 
each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 1999. Our audits also  
included the financial statement schedule listed in the Index as Schedule II for
each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 1999. These financial  
statements and financial statement schedule are the responsibility of the       
Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the        
financial statements and financial statement schedule based on our audits.      

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

In our opinion, such consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all   
material respects, the financial position of Margo Caribe, Inc. and subsidiaries
as of December 31, 1999 and 1998, and the results of their operations and their 
cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 1999, in
conformity with generally accepted accounting principles. Also, in our opinion, 
such financial statement schedule, when considered in relation to the basic     
consolidated financial statements taken as a whole, presents fairly in all      
material respects, the information set forth therein.                           

As discussed in Note 22, on February 9, 2000, the Company entered into a letter 
of intent concerning a proposed merger after divesting its current core         
business.

 MARGO CARIBE, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
DECEMBER 31, 1999, 1998 AND 1997

Note 1 - Business and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies                

Margo Caribe, Inc. and subsidiaries (all Commonwealth of Puerto Rico            
corporations and collectively, the "Company") are primarily engaged in the      
production and distribution of a wide range of tropical plants for sale to      
interior and exterior landscapers, wholesalers and retailers. The Company is    
also engaged in the manufacturing and distribution of its own line ("Rain       
Forest") of planting media, sales and distribution of lawn and garden products, 
and provides landscaping design installation and maintenance services. The      
Company is also engaged in seeking real estate sites for the development of     
residential housing projects.                                                   

The Company's primary facility is located in Vega Alta, Puerto Rico. From this  
facility, the Company sells principally to customers in Puerto Rico and the     
Caribbean.                                                                      

Effective June 1, 1998, the Company adopted a holding company structure. The    
restructuring was accomplished by means of Margo Nursery Farms, Inc. ("Margo")  
transferring substantially all of its assets and liabilities to a newly formed  
Puerto Rico subsidiary ("Newco") in return for all the outstanding stock of     
Newco. Newco continued to conduct the business previously operated by Margo as a
wholly-owned subsidiary of Margo and operates under the name of Margo Nursery   
Farms, Inc. Margo now acts as the holding company for Newco as well as the other
existing subsidiaries of Margo. In connection with the holding company          
restructuring, Margo changed its corporate name to Margo Caribe, Inc.           

As further described in Note 22, during 2000 the Company may dispose of all of  
its operating businesses as part of a proposed merger.                          

(a)      Principles of Consolidation                                            

For the years ended December 31, 1999 and 1998, the accompanying consolidated   
financial statements include the financial statements of Margo Caribe, Inc. and 
its wholly-owned subsidiaries, Margo Nursery Farms, Inc., Margo Landscaping and 
Design, Inc., Margo Garden Products, Inc., Rain Forest Products Group, Inc. and 
Margo Development Corporation. For the year ended December 31, 1997, the        
consolidated financial statements

also include the financial statements of Margo Bay Farms, Inc. and its wholly   
owned subsidiaries, Tropiflower, Inc. and Margo Imports, B.V. (a Netherlands    
company). These entities were merged with and into Margo Bay Farms, Inc. in     
1997, in connection with the Company's decision to close operations in South    
Florida. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been       
eliminated in consolidation.                                                    

(b)  Cash Equivalents                                                           

For purposes of the statements of cash flows, the Company considers all highly  
liquid debt instruments purchased with an original maturity of three months of  
less to be cash equivalents. At December 31, 1999 and 1998, cash and equivalents
include $500,000 invested in a certificate of deposit bearing interest at 5.3%  
and 4.6%, respectively, which has been pledged as collateral for notes payable  
(refer to Note 8).                                                              

(c)  Inventories                                                                

Inventory of plant material includes the cost of seeds, cuttings, pots, soil,   
chemicals, fertilizers, direct labor and an allocation of overhead costs such as
depreciation and rent, among others. Inventories of plant material are stated at
the lower of cost (first-in, first-out) or market. Inventories of lawn and      
garden products are stated at the lower of average cost of market.              

(d) Property and Equipment and Related Depreciation and Amortization            

Property and equipment are carried at acquisition cost. Depreciation and        
amortization are provided over the estimated useful lives of the respective     
assets on a straight-line basis. Such useful lives range from four to twenty    
years.                                                                          

The Company considers depreciation of certain facilities and equipment as a     
direct cost of production of inventory. As inventory is sold, such cost is      
charged to cost of sales.

(e) Foreign Currency Translation                                                

Assets and liabilities outside the United States and Puerto Rico are translated 
to U.S. Dollars using exchange rates at the balance sheet date. Revenues and    
expenses are translated at the average rates of exchange during the applicable  
period. Effects of translation adjustments are deferred and included as a       
separate component of shareholders' equity. There were no balances or           
transactions involving foreign currency translation as of December 31, 1999 and 
1998, or for the years then ended.                                              

(f) Revenue Recognition                                                         

The Company recognizes sales of foliage and lawn and garden products upon       
shipment from its facilities to customers. Revenues from landscaping services   
are recognized as plants are installed at the customers' facilities. Certain    
hurricane-related government assistance has been deferred and will be recognized
into income on a straight-line basis over a ten-year period during which certain
conditions must be complied with.                                               

(g) Income Tax                                                                  

The Company follows the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting         
Standards ("SFAS") No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes". SFAS No. 109 requires
the use of the asset and liability method in accounting for income taxes.       
Deferred income taxes are recognized for the future tax consequences of         
temporary differences between the financial statement carrying amounts and the  
tax bases of assets and liabilities.                                            

Through December 31, 1997, the Company was a Florida corporation and filed a    
final federal corporate income tax return for the taxable year then ended.      
However, the Company elected to be treated as a possessions corporation under   
Section 936 of the Internal Revenue Code, and accordingly, received a credit of 
federal income tax payable for operations in Puerto Rico. Margo Bay Farms, Inc.,
a former wholly-owned Florida subsidiary, filed a final federal income tax      
return for the year ended December 31, 1997.

The Agricultural Tax Incentives Act of the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico ("Act No.
225" of December 1, 1995, as amended) provides the Company with a 90% tax       
exemption for income derived from "bonafide" agricultural business, including   
sales of nursery plants within Puerto Rico and outside Puerto Rico, as well as a
100% exemption from property, municipal and excise taxes.                       

(h) Loss per Common Share                                                       

The Company reports its earnings per share ("EPS") using Financial Accounting   
Standards Board Statement No. 128, "Earnings Per Share" ("SFAS 128"). SFAS 128  
requires dual presentation of basic and diluted EPS. Basic EPS is computed by   
dividing income available to common stockholders by the weighted average number 
of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted EPS reflects the potential 
dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue common stock
were exercised or converted into common stock.                                  

(i) Fair Value of Financial Instruments                                         

The amounts included in the consolidated financial statements for cash and      
equivalents, short term investments, accounts receivable, notes payable,        
accounts payable and accrued expenses reflect their fair value due to the       
short-term maturity of these instruments. The fair values of the Company's other
financial instruments are discussed in Notes 5 and 9.                           

(j) Impairment of Long-Lived Assets                                             

The carrying value of property and equipment is evaluated periodically for      
recoverability when considered in relation to the expected future undiscounted  
cash flows of the underlying business over the estimated remaining useful life  
of the asset.                                                                   

(k) Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation Plans                               

The Company accounts for its stock-based compensation plans pursuant to the     
provisions of Accounting Principles Board Opinion 25 and related                
interpretations, which generally require that compensation cost be recognized to
the extent the market price of the related stock exceeds the exercise price at  
the

measurement date. However, Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123  
("SFAS 123"), "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation", provides an alternative
method for measuring compensation cost by measuring the fair value of the option
at the award date. Although the compensation cost measurement criteria is not   
required to be adopted, SFAS 123 requires disclosure of pro forma information   
regarding the effects of the application of its compensation cost measurement   
criteria and of other information.                                              

(l)      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.                               

The allowance for doubtful accounts is an amount that management believes will  
be adequate to absorb estimated losses on existing accounts receivable that may 
become uncollectible based on evaluations of collectibility and prior credit    
experience. Because of uncertainties inherent in the estimation process,        
management's estimate of credit losses inherent in the existing accounts        
receivable and related allowance may change in the near term.                   

The Company has recorded a deferred tax asset of approximately $608,000 which is
offset in full by a valuation allowance. Realization of the deferred tax asset  
is dependent on generating sufficient taxable income in the future. The amount  
of the deferred tax asset considered realizable could change in the near term if
estimates of future income are increased.

Note 5 - Notes Receivable                                                       

The Company owns a note receivable with an outstanding principal balance of     
$996,962, from the sale of Cariplant S.A. ("Cariplant") a former Dominican      
Republic subsidiary, to Altec International C. por A. ("Altec"), another        
Dominican Republic company. The note is collateralized by the common stock and  
personal guarantee of the major shareholder of Cariplant.                       

From the inception of the note in March 1993, the Company received several      
payments through December 1995. However, Altec has been unable to comply with   
the terms of the note.                                                          

Due to the unfavorable collection experience as well as the difficulties of     
operating in the Dominican Republic, in 1994 Company management wrote down the  
carrying amount of the note to $316,000, representing the estimated value of    
Cariplant's land and related improvements, including buildings, shadehouses, and
fixed and installed equipment.                                                  

On February 12, 1997, the Company obtained a junior lien in Cariplant's property
and equipment and entered into an agreement with Altec to modify the repayment  
terms of the unpaid principal balance of $996,962, with payments of principal   
and interest commencing in the year 2000. Payment of interest on the note was   
waived through January 1, 2000.                                                 

On September 23, 1998, the Dominican Republic was struck by Hurricane Georges   
severely damaging Cariplant's facilities. As a result of the damages caused by  
the hurricane, the Company determined to write down the carrying value of the   
note to $100,000. The write down, amounting to $201,621 was included as an other
expense in the accompanying consolidated statement of operations for the year   
ended December 31, 1998.                                                        

Altec is now in default with the modified repayment terms. As a result, the     
Company wrote down the carrying value of the note to $20,000, and has included  
the $80,000 charge as other expense in the accompanying consolidated statement  
of operations for the year ended December 31, 1999.

Amounts reflected in the balance sheet for notes receivable approximate their   
current fair values based on market interest rates for comparable risks,        
maturities and collateral. With respect to the Altec note, management believes  
it is not practicable to estimate its fair value because of the difference      
between the face value of the note and its carrying amount, as well as other    
factors.

Note 10 - Hurricane Georges                                                     

On September 21, 1998, Puerto Rico was struck by Hurricane Georges, a category 3
hurricane on the Saffir/Simpson scale. The hurricane severely damaged a portion 
of the Company's facilities (shadehouses) and inventory of plant material.      

For the year ended December 31, 1998, as a result of the damages caused by the  
hurricane, the Company recorded the following loss:

                                      ==========

During 1999, the Company received an assistance payment of $12,880 from the Farm
Service Agency of the United States Department of Agriculture for debris removal
from damages caused by the hurricane. This assistance was recorded as other     
income in the accompanying consolidated statement of operations for the year    
ended December 31, 1999.                                                        

The Puerto Rico Department of Agriculture has committed to provide assistance to
bona-fide agricultural enterprises for damages caused by the hurricane. At      
December 31, 1999, the Puerto Rico Department of Agriculture had approved       
$111,885 in assistance, subject to the formalization of an agreement, which     
among other things requires the facility to be operated as a nursery farm for a 
minimum period of ten years from the date of signing. Accordingly, the Company  
recorded a receivable and a deferred revenue to account for the assistance at   
December 31, 1999.

The Company provides for income taxes using the applicable statutory tax rates  
in the related jurisdiction where it operates.

For the years ended December 31, 1999, 1998 and 1997, the effect of the assumed 
exercise of stock options determined by using the treasury stock method was     
antidilutive; thus no incremental shares were added to the weighted average     
number of common shares outstanding.

The Company is a party to various legal actions arising in the ordinary course  
of business. In the opinion of management, the disposition of these matters will
not have a material adverse effect on the financial condition or results of

The certificate of incorporation of the Company authorizes the issuance of      
250,000 shares of one cent ($0.01) par value serial preferred stock, and the    
Board of Directors is authorized from time to time to divide the preferred stock

of which 19,800 shares were acquired in 1988 at a cost of $48,788, and 20,000   
shares were acquired in 1998 at a cost of $47,500.                              

Note 15 - Lease and Option Agreements                                           

(a)      Property in Vega Alta, Puerto Rico                                     

The primary Puerto Rico facility is leased from Michael J. Spector and Margaret 
D. Spector (the "Spectors"), who are officers, directors and major shareholders 
of the Company.                                                                 

Effective January 1, 1993, the Company entered into a lease agreement with the  
Spectors for an initial five year period at a monthly rental of $19,000. In     
addition, the Spectors have released the Company from responsibility from any   
claims arising from the Company's use of a defective fungicide in its operations
at the nursery facility. The Company had an option to renew this lease for an   
additional five year period at the greater of $24,000 per month, or the original
$19,000 per month adjusted on the basis of the increase in the Wholesale Price  
Index ("WPI") published by the United States Department of Labor, Bureau of     
Labor Statistics, from the WPI which was in effect on January 1, 1993 to the WPI
in effect on January 1, 1998. On January 1, 1998, the Company exercised its     
option to renew the lease agreement with the Spectors at a monthly rental of    
$24,000. The Spectors have committed to grant the Company an option to extend   
the lease for an additional period of five years ending December 31, 2007.

Under the above lease agreement, the Company has the option to purchase the     
nursery facility at any time during the term of the lease, based on the         
property's appraised value. The Company pays $1,000 per month for this purchase 
option, which amount is expensed when paid.                                     

Effective January 1, 1994, the Company amended the lease agreement with the     
Spectors to include an additional 27 acres of land adjacent to the nursery      
facility at a monthly rental of $1,750. This amendment did not provide for      
renewal nor purchase options towards the additional 27 acres of land. Effective 
January 1, 1998, the Company and the Spectors entered into an amendment to the  
lease agreement which grants the Company the right to continue to lease the 27  
acre parcel on a month to month basis. Either party may terminate this portion  
of the lease upon 30 days prior written notice. In connection with this lease   
amendment, the Spectors also agreed to reimburse the Company by no later than   
March 1, 2001 for the unamortized value (approximately $45,000 at February 1,   
2000) of the leasehold improvements applicable to said parcel as of the date of 
termination. Effective February 1, 2000, the lease agreement with respect to the
27 acre parcel terminated.                                                      

Total rental payments amounted to approximately $309,000 in 1999 and 1998 and   
$249,000 in 1997.                                                               

(b)      Property in Barranquitas, Puerto Rico                                  

Effective January 1, 1997, the Company entered into a lease agreement with Cali 
Orchids, Inc. to lease a 13 acre nursery facility located in the town of        
Barranquitas, Puerto Rico. The lease has an initial term of five years and may  
be renewed for two additional five-year terms at the Company's option. During   
the first year of the initial five-year term of the lease, monthly payments     
amount to $4,500. During the remaining four years of the initial term of the    
lease, monthly payments amount to $5,000. During the first and second renewal   
terms, monthly payments increase to $6,000 and $7,000, respectively. The lease  
agreement does not provide for any purchase option.

Total rental payments amounted to $60,000, $45,000 and $54,000 for the years    
ended December 31, 1999, 1998 and 1997, respectively. Lease payments for 1998   
reflect a rent abatement of $15,000 due to damages caused by Hurricane Georges. 

(c)      Other Properties in Vega Alta, Puerto Rico                             

On March 24, 1999, the Company leased two additional parcels of land from the   
Puerto Rico Land Authority (an instrumentality of the Commonwealth of Puerto    
Rico). The two parcels are adjacent to each other, have a total area of 321     
acres, and are located approximately one mile from the Company's main nursery   
facility in Vega Alta. Among other things, the lease agreement provides for an  
initial lease term of five years subject to three additional renewal terms of   
five years, at the option of the Company. During the initial term, total lease

Note 16 - Stock Option and Salary Deferral Plans                                

Effective April 1998, the Company adopted the 1998 Stock Option Plan (the "1998 
Plan") to replace the Company's 1988 Stock Benefits Plan (the "1988 Plan").     
Outstanding options granted under the previous plan, including all related      
obligations and commitments, will continue to be honored by the Company.        

Under the 1998 Plan, the Company's Board of Directors, through a committee, can 
award options to purchase up to 200,000 shares of common stock (exclusive of    
outstanding options under the previous plan) to eligible employees at 100% of   
the fair market value at the time of the grant, except that options granted to  
persons owning 10% or more of the outstanding common stock carry an exercise    
price equal to 110% of the fair market value at the date of grant. The 1998 Plan
also provides for the automatic grant of options to purchase 2,500 shares of    
common stock to each non-employee director on the first business day following  
every annual meeting of shareholders.                                           

Options vest ratably over a period of five years, become exercisable one year   
from the date of grant and expire ten years after the date of grant. The status 
of the stock options granted under the 1998 Plan and the prior 1988 Plan as of  
December 31, 1997, 1998 and 1999, and changes during the years ended on those   
dates, are as follows:

The Company applies Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, "Accounting for 
Stock Issued to Employees", and related interpretations in measuring stock based
compensation, including options. Accordingly, no compensation expense has been  
recognized for options granted under both plans. Had compensation expense been  
determined based upon the fair value at the grant date for awards under any plan
consistent with SFAS No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation", ("SFAS 
No. 123") the Company's net loss and net loss per share, on a pro forma basis,  
would not have significantly changed from those reported. The Company did not   
recognize compensation cost for the options granted to non-employees pursuant to
the requirements of SFAS No. 123 because its effect was not significant.        

During 1998, the Company established a Salary Deferral Retirement Plan (the     
"Retirement Plan") under the provisions of Article 1165(a)(4) of the regulations
under the Puerto Rico Internal Revenue Code of 1994. The retirement plan covers 
all employees who are at least 21 years old and have completed one year of      
service. The Company did not make any cash contributions to the retirement plan 
during 1998. For the year ended December 31, 1999, the Company paid             
approximately $38,000, representing the matching contributions under the        
retirement plan for all participants.

Note 17 - Supplemental Disclosures for the Statements of Cash Flows             

(a)      Non-Cash Investing Activities                                          

During the year ended December 31, 1999, fully depreciated equipment with a cost
of $454,877 was written off, and equipment with a cost of $66,129 and a book    
value of $43,459 was sold at a gain of $16,451. Also, during 1999, an account   
receivable and a deferred revenue in the amount of $111,885 were established in 
connection with certain government assistance.                                  

During the year ended December 31, 1998, the Company wrote off fully depreciated
equipment with a cost of $505,070. Also during 1998, the Company wrote off      
leasehold improvements with a cost of $365,278 and a book value of $171,039, as 
a result of damages caused by Hurricane Georges.                                

During the year ended December 31, 1997, the Company wrote off stock plants with
a cost of $97,277 and a book value of $72,951. The write off was charged to an  
accrual made as of December 31, 1996, for the possible impairment of assets at  
the Company's South Florida location.                                           

During 1997, the Company sold two properties at its South Florida location with 
a cost of $1,088,594 and a book value of $990,105. Included in the determination
of the $474,574 gain on the sale of the property sold were $177,049 representing

impairment of assets at the Company's South Florida location. In connection with
the sale of one of the properties, the Company received a $475,000 mortgage note

Note 18 - Major Customers                                                       

During 1999, the Company's two largest customers accounted for approximately 26%
($1,592,000) of the Company's net sales. The first customer accounted for 14%   
($864,000) and the second customer accounted for 12% ($728,000) of the Company's
net sales.                                                                      

During 1998 and 1997 the Company's single largest customer accounted for        
approximately 13% ($683,000) and 24% ($1,540,000), respectively, of the         
Company's net sales.                                                            

Note 19 - Disposal of Margo Bay Farms, Inc.                                     

On August 15, 1997, after a review of past and present performance of the       
Company's South Florida operation, and in view of the strong competition in that
market, inadequate sales levels and lack of profitability, the Company's Board  
of Directors made the determination to close this operation effective September 
30, 1997, and dispose of all related assets. On September 29 and November 28,   
1997, the Company sold the two nursery farms (a 54 acre and a 20 acre parcel)   
which comprised the Company's facility in South Florida, resulting in a gain of 
$474,574.                                                                       

The South Florida operation which closed effective September 30, 1997, accounted
for net sales of approximately $478,000, and incurred a net loss of $27,000 for 
the year ended December 31, 1997.                                               

Note 20 - Significant Concentration of Risk                                     

As discussed in Note 1, the Company's operations are principally concentrated in
Puerto Rico. The Company's operations are vulnerable to severe weather, such as 
hurricanes, floods, storms and, to a lesser extent, plant disease and pests. The
Company believes that it currently maintains adequate insurance coverage for its
facilities and equipment. As of December 31, 1999, the Company had been unable  
to obtain adequate crop and business interruption insurance coverage at a       
reasonable cost. The Company intends to continue to seek to obtain crop and     
business interruption insurance coverage at reasonable rates. However, no       
assurance can be given that the Company will be able to obtain such insurance   
coverages.

The Company believes it has taken reasonable precautions to protect its plants  
and operations from natural hazards. The Company's newer facilities are being   
constructed with fabricated steel in an attempt to reduce the damage from any   
future storms. Each of the Company's operations currently has access to a       
plentiful water supply and facilities for the protection of many of their       
weather-sensitive plants.                                                       

Accounts receivable are due from customers resident in Puerto Rico.             
Concentration of credit risk with respect to accounts receivable is mitigated by
monitoring the operations and financial strength of the Company's customers.    
Certain short-term certificates of deposit are placed with local financial      
institutions. Such credit risk is mitigated by depositing the funds with high   
credit quality financial institutions and limiting the amount of credit exposure
in any financial institution.                                                   

Note 21 - Segment Information                                                   

In June 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement No. 131,
Disclosure about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information ("SFAS 131").
SFAS 131 establishes standards for the way an enterprise reports information    
about operating segments in annual financial statements and requires that       
enterprises report selected information about operating segments in interim     
financial reports issued to shareholders. Operating segments are components of  
an enterprise about which separate financial information is available that is   
evaluated regularly by the chief operating decision maker in deciding how to    
allocate resources and in assessing performance. SFAS 131 requires a            
reconciliation of total segment revenue and expense items and segment assets to 
the amount in the enterprise's financial statements. SFAS 131 also requires a   
descriptive report on how the operating segments were determined, the products  
and services provided by the operating segments, and any measurement differences
used for segment reporting and financial statement reporting.                   

The Company's management monitors and manages the financial performance of three
primary business segments: the production and distribution of plants, sales of  
lawn and garden products and landscaping services. The accounting policies of   
the segments are the same as those described in the summary of significant      
accounting policies. The Company evaluates performance based on net income or   
loss.

Note 22 - Subsequent Event                                                      

On February 9, 2000 the Company announced that it entered into a non-binding    
letter of intent to merge with iTract, LLC ("iTract"), a privately held         
developmental stage internet company building a communication tool that is      
designed to allow its users to deliver a targeted marketing campaign using      
e-mail, fax and postal mail. To date, iTract has not earned any significant     
revenues.                                                                       

iTract will seek to address the needs of businesses that desire more efficient, 
expedient and cost- effective ways to promote and communicate products and      
services to their target audiences. iTract will target small to medium sized    
businesses that want to reach potential customers at a lower cost than          
traditional direct marketing. iTract's system is designed to allow users to send
out faxes, e-mails and postal mail in volume from the same document directly off
the computer at the same time. iTract is also building a permission-based fax   
and e-mail list that is demographically organized and can be custom configured  
to meet the client's marketing needs.                                           

Under the proposed transaction, the Company would first reincorporate as a      
Delaware corporation pursuant to a merger (the "Reincorporation Merger") with a 
newly created Delaware corporation. A subsidiary of the new Delaware corporation
would then merge with iTract (the "iTract Merger"). As a result of the iTract   
Merger, iTract members would receive 88% of the issued and outstanding shares of
common stock of the new Delaware corporation (on a fully diluted basis assuming 
exercise of all outstanding stock options) in exchange for all the outstanding  
membership interests of iTract. Thus, following the iTract Merger, iTract       
members would control the new Delaware corporation, holding 88% of its common   
stock, with the Company's current shareholders holding 12%. Prior to the        
effective time of the iTract Merger, all outstanding stock options held by      
officers, directors and employees of the Company would vest and become          
immediately exercisable. Following the merger, the new corporation will be named
iTract, Inc. A majority of the Board of Directors of the merged company would be
composed of members designated by iTract, and iTract's management would manage  
the merged company. The letter of intent does not provide for any break-up fee. 
It is anticipated that the Reincorporation Merger will be a taxable transaction 
for U. S. shareholders for federal income tax purposes.

It is a condition to the consummation of the iTract Merger that the Company sell
prior to the iTract Merger its nursery and other operating businesses. In       
addition, as of the effective time of the merger, the Company must have at least
$5 million in cash and cash equivalents and not be subject to liabilities       
exceeding $10,000 in the aggregate.                                             

In connection with the execution of the letter of intent, Michael J. Spector,   
President, Chief Executive Officer and the controlling shareholder of the       
Company, and another major shareholder of the Company made a $2.0 million loan  
to International Commerce Exchange Systems, Inc. ("ICES"), an indirect parent   
company of iTract. The loan is payable in a single balloon payment on the       
closing day of the iTract Merger. If the iTract Merger is not consummated, such 
loan will be converted into common stock of ICES.                               

The parties anticipate that the transaction would close during the latter part  
of the second quarter or early part of the third quarter of 2000, subject to the
negotiation of definitive agreements, the satisfactory completion of due        
diligence examinations, and the satisfaction of various other conditions        
customary and appropriate for this type of transaction, including the approval  
of the merger by the majority of the Company's and iTract's equity holders, the 
qualification of the iTract Merger as a tax-free reorganization for federal and 
Puerto Rico income tax purposes, continued listing of the shares on the NASDAQ  
Small Cap Market and obtaining an opinion from an investment banking firm       
satisfactory to the Company that the transaction is fair to shareholders from a 
financial point of view. The letter of intent provides that concurrent with the 
execution of the merger agreement, Michael J. Spector will agree to vote his    
Company shares, representing approximately 66% of the Company's outstanding     
common stock, in favor of the merger. No assurance can be given that the Company
will reach a definitive merger agreement or that, if reached, the parties will  
be able to satisfy the conditions to the consummation of the merger. If the     
parties do not execute a merger agreement by April 14, 2000, the letter of      
intent will be automatically terminated.                                        

Note 23 - Reclassifications                                                     

Certain reclassifications were made to the 1998 and 1997 consolidated financial 
statements in order for them to be in conformity with the 1999 presentation.

 MARGO CARIBE, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
March 31, 2000
 (Unaudited)

Note 1 - Basis of Presentation                                                  

These interim consolidated financial statements include the financial statements
of Margo Caribe, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries (collectively "the      
Company"), Margo Nursery Farms, Inc., Margo Landscaping and Design, Inc., Margo 
Garden Products, Inc., Rain Forest Products Group, Inc. and Margo Development   
Corporation.                                                                    

These interim consolidated financial statements are unaudited, but include all  
adjustments that, in the opinion of management, are necessary for a fair        
statement of the Company's financial position, results of operations and cash   
flows for the periods covered. These statements have been prepared in accordance
with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission's instructions to Form
10-Q, and therefore, do not include all information and footnotes necessary for 
a complete presentation of financial statements in conformity with generally    
accepted accounting principles.                                                 

The preparation of interim financial statements relies on estimates. Therefore, 
the results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2000 are not     
necessarily indicative of the operating results to be expected for the year     
ending December 31, 2000. These statements should be read in conjunction with   
the Company's Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes thereto included in   
the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 1999.     

On April 11, 2000, the Company executed an Agreement and Plan of Merger with    
iTract, LLC, a developmental stage internet company. To the extent the          
transactions contemplated in the agreement are consumated, the Company will     
cease being engaged in the current nursery and related businesses and would be  
engaged in providing internet based marketing services.                         

Note 2 - Use of Estimates in the Preparation of Financial Statements

America 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.                                                    

The allowance for doubtful accounts is an amount that management believes will  
be adequate to absorb possible losses on existing accounts receivable that may  
become uncollectible based on evaluations of collectibility and prior credit    
experience. Because of uncertainties inherent in the estimation process,        
management's estimate of credit losses inherent in the existing accounts        
receivable and related allowance may change in the near term.

Note 4 - Notes Receivable                                                       

The Company owns a note receivable with an outstanding principal balance of     
$996,962, from the sale of Cariplant S.A. (a former Dominican Republic          
subsidiary) to Altec International, C. por A. ("Altec"), another Dominican      
Republic company. The note is collateralized by the common stock and personal   
guarantee of the major shareholder of Cariplant.                                

Since the inception of the note, the Company received various sporadic payments.
On February 12, 1997, the Company obtained a junior lien on Cariplant's property
and equipment and modified the repayment terms of the unpaid principal balance, 
with payments of principal and interest commencing in the year 2000.            

Altec is now in default with the modified repayment terms. As a result of the   
unfavorable collection experience, as well as the difficulties of operating in  
the Dominican Republic, the Company wrote down the carrying value of the note to
$20,000.

Note 6 - Net Income (loss) per Common Share                                     

In 1997, the Company adopted Financial Accounting Standards Board Statement No. 
128, Earnings Per Share ("SFAS 128"). SFAS 128 establishes standards for        
computing and presenting earnings per share ("EPS"). It replaces the            
presentation of primary EPS with basic EPS, and requires dual presentation of   
basic and diluted EPS on the face of the statement of operations. Basic EPS is  
computed by dividing income available to common stockholders by the weighted    
average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted EPS reflects
the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to     
issue common stock were exercised or converted into common stock.               

Basic and diluted income (loss) per common share at March 31, 2000 and 1999 were
computed as follows:

Note 7 - Segment Information                                                    

In June 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement No. 131,
Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information ("SFAS      
131"). SFAS 131 establishes standards for the way an enterprise reports         
information about operating segments in annual financial statements and requires
that enterprises report selected information about operating segments in interim
financial reports issued to shareholders. Operating segments are components of  
an enterprise about which separate financial information is available that is   
evaluated regularly by the chief operating decision maker in deciding how to    
allocate resources and in assessing performance. The Statement requires a       
reconciliation of total segment revenue and expense items and segment assets to 
the amounts in the enterprise's financial statements. SFAS 131 also requires a  
descriptive report on how the operating segments were determined, the products  
and services provided by the operating segments, and any measurement differences
used for segment reporting and financial statement reporting.                   

The Company's management monitors and manages the financial performance of three
primary business segments: the production and distribution of plants, sales of  
lawn and garden products and landscaping services. The accounting policies of   
the segments are the same as those described in the summary of significant      
accounting policies. The Company evaluates performance based on net income or   
loss.                                                                           

The financial information presented below was derived from the internal         
management accounting system and are based on internal management accounting    
policies. The information presented does not necessarily represent each         
segments's financial condition and results of operations as if they were        
independent entities.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT

TO THE MEMBERS OF                                                               
iTRACT, LLC                                                           

               We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of iTRACT, LLC (A
Development Stage Company) as of December 31, 1999 and June 30, 1999 and the    
related statements of operations and members' deficit and cash flows for the six
months ended December 31, 1999, for the period from May 12, 1999 (inception) to 
June 30, 1999 and for the period May 12, 1999 (inception) to December 31, 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 audit.                                                                   

           We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted
auditing standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits 
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 audit provides a reasonable basis for our     
opinion.                                                                        

                                                                            K-1.

        In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above
present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of iTRACT, LLC 
at December 31, 1999 and June 30, 1999, and the results of its operations and   
members' deficit and its cash flows for the six months ended December 31, 1999, 
for the period from May 12, 1999 (inception) to June 30, 1999, and for the      
period May 12, 1999 (inception) to December 31, 1999, in conformity with        
generally accepted accounting principles.                                       

               The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming
that the company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 2 to the
financial statements, the company has suffered losses from operations and has   
net capital and working capital deficiencies that raise substantial doubt about 
the entity's ability to continue as a going concern. Management's plans in      
regards 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.                                                                    

                                                  /s/ ANCHIN, BLOCK & ANCHIN LLP

                                                      ANCHIN, BLOCK & ANCHIN LLP

New York, New York

 NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:                            

Organization and Business Plan:                               

               The company was organized in Delaware on May 12, 1999, as a
        limited liability company (LLC). The company is a member of a group of
     affiliated entities and has been in the development stage since its
formation.                                                    

               The company is in the process of developing a website which
      will offer an all inclusive internet based directed marketing system
        that reaches the online and offline marketplaces simultaneously, which
it plans to license to others.                                

        Subsequent to December 31, 1999 the company signed a
     nonbinding letter of intent to merge with a publicly traded company
which intends to bring a minimum of $5,000,000 cash and cash  
         equivalents (and no other assets) and liabilities not to exceed $10,000
   into the merged entity. The principal shareholders of this public
     company have loaned an affiliate of the company $2,000,000 which is
       intended to help finance the company until the merger, when the loans
      are due. If the merger does not occur the loans are convertible into
stock of the company's affiliate.                             

Use of Estimates:                                             

              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.                                  

Web Site Development Costs:                                   

              Costs incurred to develop the company's web site have been
      capitalized or expensed based upon guidelines issued by the Emerging
       Issues Task Force Consensus issue No. 00-2. All costs incurred in the
         planning stage are expensed as incurred. Costs incurred in the web site
        application and infrastructure, graphics and content development stage
are capitalized.                                              

Income Taxes:                                                 

               No provision is required for Federal and state taxes on the
    income of the company. Under the Internal Revenue Code and similar
         state regulations the company is treated as a partnership; accordingly,
the income of the company is taxed to the members.            

                                                                            K-6.

NOTE 2 - GOING CONCERN:                                                         

        The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that
        the company will continue as a going concern. The company has suffered
       losses from operations, has a net capital deficiency and will require
additional capital to continue operating. These factors raise 
     substantial doubt about the entity's ability to continue as a going
concern.                                                      

     Management believes the company will continue to have the financial
         support of its members and affiliates and is seeking additional sources
of capital (see Note 1).                                      

NOTE 3 - RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS:                                            

   The company has transactions with affiliates for various services
performed as follows:                                         

                                                                [Download Table]

 NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:                            

Interim Financial Statements:                                 

           The financial information included herein is unaudited;
         however, the information reflects all adjustments (consisting solely of
       normal recurring adjustments) that, in the opinion of management, are
        necessary to a fair presentation of the financial position, results of
operations, and cash flows for the interim periods.           

Organization and Business Plan:                               

               The company was organized in Delaware on May 12, 1999, as a
        limited liability company (LLC). The company is a member of a group of
     affiliated entities and has been in the development stage since its
formation.                                                    

               The company is in the process of developing a website which
      will offer an all inclusive internet based directed marketing system
        that reaches the online and offline marketplaces simultaneously, which
it plans to license to others.                                

                Subsequent to March 31, 2000 the company signed an agreement
    and plan of merger to merge with a subsidiary of a publicly traded
      company which intends to bring a minimum of $5,000,000 cash and cash
         equivalents (and no other assets) and liabilities not to exceed $10,000
   into the merged entity. The principal shareholders of this public
     company have loaned an affiliate of the company $2,000,000 which is
       intended to help finance the company until the merger, when the loans
      are due. If the merger does not occur the loans are convertible into
     stock of the company's affiliate. Additionally, the company and its
        affiliate may be liable for up to $100,000 for reimbursement of merger
expenses incurred.                                            

Use of Estimates:                                             

              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.                                  

Web Site Development Costs:                                   

              Costs incurred to develop the company's web site have been
      capitalized or expensed based upon guidelines issued by the Emerging
       Issues Task Force Consensus issue No. 00-2. All costs incurred in the
         planning stage are expensed as incurred. Costs incurred in the web site
        application and infrastructure, graphics and content development stage
are capitalized.                                              

                                                                            L-5.

NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED):                

Income Taxes:                                                 

               No provision is required for federal and state taxes on the
    income of the company. Under the Internal Revenue Code and similar
         state regulations the company is treated as a partnership; accordingly,
the income of the company is taxed to the members.            

NOTE 2 - GOING CONCERN:                                                         

        The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that
        the company will continue as a going concern. The company has suffered
losses from operations, has net capital and working capital   
         deficiencies and will require additional capital to continue operating.
     These factors raise substantial doubt about the entity"s ability to
continue as a going concern.                                  

     Management believes the company will continue to have the financial
         support of its members and affiliates and is seeking additional sources
of capital (see Note 1).                                      

NOTE 3 - RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS:                                            

   The company has transactions with affiliates for various services
performed as follows:                                         

                                                     May 12, 1999   Three Months

                                                     ========       ========

                  (a) Certain of these costs have been capitalized (see Note 1).

    In conjunction with the agreement and plan of merger, (see Note 1)
        several affiliates of the company are required to contribute a minimum
      of approximately $384,000 of amounts due them, to the capital of the
company.                                                      

                                                                            L-6.

 PART II

INFORMATION REQUIRED IN THE REGISTRATION STATEMENT

Item 20. Indemnification of Directors and Officers.                             

   A. Section 102(b)(7) of the Delaware General Corporation Law (the
"DGCL") provides that a corporation may include in its certificate of           
incorporation a provision eliminating or limiting the personal liability of     
directors to the corporation or its stockholders for monetary damages for breach
of a director's fiduciary duty. However, no such provision may eliminate or     
limit the liability of a director for breaching his duty of loyalty, failing to 
act in good faith, engaging in intentional misconduct or knowingly violating a  
law, paying a dividend or approving a stock repurchase which was illegal, or    
obtaining an improper personal benefit. A provision of this type has no effect  
on the availability of equitable remedies, such as injunction or rescission, for
breach of fiduciary duty. Article V of iTract, Inc.'s Certificate of            
Incorporation contains such a provision.                                        

B. Section 145 of the DGCL authorizes Delaware corporations to
indemnify their officers and directors against liabilities arising out of       
pending or threatened actions, suits or proceedings to which they are or may be 
made parties by reason of being directors or officers. Such rights of           
indemnification are not exclusive of any other rights to which such officers or 
directors may be entitled under any by-law, agreement, vote of stockholders or  
otherwise. The Certificate of Incorporation of iTract, Inc. provides that       
iTract, Inc. shall indemnify its directors, officers and employees to the full  
extent permitted by law. iTract, Inc. also maintains directors' and officers'   
liability insurance on behalf of its directors and officers.                    

    C. Section 13(a) of Article III of the iTract, Inc.'s By-laws (the
"By-laws") provides that iTract, Inc. shall 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 (other than an action by or in the right of iTract, Inc.) by      
reason of the fact that he is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of  
iTract, Inc. or is or was serving at the request of iTract, Inc. as a director, 
officer, employee or agent of another corporation or enterprise, against        
expenses (including attorneys' fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in      
settlement actually and reasonably incurred by him in connection with such      
action, suit or proceeding if he acted in good faith and in a manner he         
reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of iTract,    
Inc., and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable 
cause to believe his conduct was unlawful.                                      

        Section 13(b) of Article III of the By-laws provides that iTract, Inc.
shall 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 iTract, Inc. to procure a judgment in its favor by reason of the fact that   
such person acted in any of the capacities set forth above, against expenses    
(including attorneys' fees) actually and reasonably incurred by him in          
connection with the defense or settlement of such action or suit if he acted    
under similar standards set forth in the preceding paragraph, except that no    
indemnification may be made in respect of any claim, issue or matter as to which
such person shall have been adjudged to be liable to iTract, Inc. unless and    
only to the extent that the court in which such action or suit was brought shall
determine that despite the adjudication of liability, such person is fairly and 
reasonably entitled to be indemnified for such expenses which the court shall   
deem proper.                                                                    

         Section 13(c) of Article III of the By-laws provides that to the extent
a director or officer of iTract, Inc. has been successful on the merits or      
otherwise in the defense of any action, suit or proceeding referred to in       
Sections 13(a) and 13(b) of Article III of the By-laws or in the defense of any 
claim, issue, or matter therein, such person shall be indemnified against       
expenses (including attorneys' fees) actually and reasonably incurred by such   
person in connection therewith.                                                 

        Section 13(e) of Article III of the By-laws provides that iTract, Inc.
may pay expenses incurred in defending a civil or criminal action, suit or      
proceeding in advance of the final disposition of such action, suit or          
proceeding if it receives an undertaking by or on behalf of such director or    
officer to repay such amounts if it is ultimately determined that such person is
not entitled to be indemnified by iTract, Inc. as authorized in Section 13 of   
Article III of the By-laws.                                                     

     Sections 13(f) and 13(g) of Article III of the By-laws provide that
indemnification provided for by Section 13 of Article III of the By-laws shall

Item 22. Undertakings.                                                          

The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes:                 

        1. To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made,
a post-effective amendment to this registration statement:                      

        (i)      To include any prospectus required by section 10(a)(3) of the
Securities Act of 1933;                     

         (ii)     To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after
                 the effective date of the registration statement (or the most
                recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually
              or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the
        information set forth in the registration statement.
              Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in
              volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of
                  securities offered would not exceed that which was registered)
               and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated
          maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of
                prospectus filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b)
         if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price
             represent no more than a 20 percent change in the maximum
             aggregate offering price set forth in the "Calculation of
         Registration Fee" table in the effective registration
statement;                                  

       (iii)    To include any material information with respect to the plan
                of distribution not previously disclosed in the registration
               statement or any material change to such information in the
registration statement;                     

 2. That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the
Securities Act of 1933, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be
a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the
offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona 
fide offering thereof.                                                          

       3. To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment
any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of
the offering.                                                                   

     4. That prior to any public reoffering of the securities registered
hereunder through use of a prospectus which is a part of this registration      
statement, by any person or party who is deemed to be an underwriter within the 
meaning of Rule 145(c), such reoffering prospectus will contain the information 
called for by the applicable registration form with respect to reofferings by   
persons who may be deemed underwriters, in addition to the information called   
for by the other items of the applicable form.                                  

      5. That every prospectus (i) that is filed pursuant to paragraph (4)
immediately preceding, or (ii) that purports to meet the requirements of Section
10(a)(3) of the Securities Act of 1933 and is used in connection with an        
offering of securities subject to Rule 415, will be filed as a part of an       
amendment to the registration statement and will not be used until such         
amendment is effective, and that, for purposes of determining any liability     
under the Securities Act of 1933, each such post-effective amendment shall be   
deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered    
therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be 
the initial bona fide offering thereof.                                         

     6. To supply by means of a post-effective amendment all information
concerning a transaction, and the company being acquired involved therein, that 
was not the subject of and included in the registration statement when it became
effective.                                                                      

        Insofar as indemnification for liabilities under the Securities Act of
1933 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 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 Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of
such issue.
