An amending agreement was signed on Sept. 18, 2000, to amend the investment agreement and other related agreements. The amendments primarily relate to the obligations of Oyster Ventures Limited and e-billing Company, Inc. in relation to the organization and financing of eBillings, Inc. The company's obligations under the investment agreement, which are subject to necessary regulatory and shareholder approvals, remain substantively the same. The company has been advised by eBillings, Inc. that a letter of intent to provide billing and payment services to an emerging call centre operator (ServeLink) has been signed and the terms of such services are being negotiated. ServeLink, a member of the Oyster Group, is currently under a takeover offer from NuGold Hill Mines Limited, an Australian listed company. Under the sponsorship agreement with Golden Capital Securities Ltd., in connection with the company's proposed acquisition of a 50-per-cent interest in eBillings, Inc., the company has agreed to issue Golden Capital 50,000 units at a deemed value of 60 cents per unit and to pay Golden Capital $10,000 in connection with Golden Capital's corporate finance fee. Each unit consists of one common share of the company and one warrant to purchase one common share at 60 cents per share for a one-year term. The issuance of the units to Golden Capital is subject to regulatory approval.

Resignation of director Effective July 17, 2000, Jon Swire-Thompson, chairman and director, resigned his position on the board of directors.
