Some info on Dorian Reed, from the 1998 10-K.

- Daniel


The Company considers Mr. Dorian Reed, age 44, a principal stockholder, to be
a key person who provides services to the Company. In 1994 Mr. Reed was
engaged in internet consulting and research, primarily studying internet
market trends for not-for-profit entities. The business Mr. Reed was involved
in was incorporated in January 1995 as Angel Industries, Inc. Mr. Reed became
an employee of Angel Industries until a new business, incorporated in 1995 by
the President of Angel Industries, Inc., called Internet Business Broadcasting
("IBB") became his employer. See "Disclosure of Past Investigations Involving
Dorian Reed". Prior to Hitsgalore.com, Mr. Reed and Steve Bradford together
owned I Wonder Technologies, a now-dormant business that focused on satellite
applications for long distance learning and the transmission of voice, data,
video and the internet.

Disclosure of Past Investigations Involving Dorian Reed-

In 1995, Dorian Reed was employed by a new business called Internet Business
Broadcasting ("IBB"). The original concept of IBB was to build web sites for
small businesses and create an internet business mall for third party on-line
retailers.

In late 1996, IBB started selling billboard space in IBB's internet business
mall, and elsewhere on the IBB site, to companies wishing to advertise on the
then new and growing internet. IBB signed contracts with individuals who
leased the on-line billboards and IBB would then seek advertisers to purchase
the space on the leased billboards. The proceeds generated by selling the
advertising were to be split between IBB and the lessee of the billboard. In
mid-1997, after failing to adequately collect revenues from a sufficient
number of customers, IBB shut down its business and dissolved.

In early 1998, the Federal Trade Commission ("FTC") filed a lawsuit against
Tom Maher, former President of IBB, Audrey Reed, and Mr. Reed for failure to
refund money to customers and allegedly misleading investors about the
potential return on their investment. In April, 1998, Mr. Reed filed an
answer to the FTC complaint, pro se, denying all the allegations, and did not
receive any subsequent correspondence from the government.

Mr. Reed says he was unaware any case was pending against him until stories
appeared in the press and he was served with a default judgment at the
Hitsgalore.com office in Rancho Cucamonga, CA on May 11, 1999. The judgement
served on Mr. Reed informed him that a federal judge in Baltimore issued an
order in April, 1999 for he and his co-defendants to pay $613,110 to 100
customers of IBB.

After being served on May 11, 1999, Mr. Reed immediately and pro-actively
contacted the FTC through counsel regarding the matter. As of May 20, 1999,
Mr. Reed is exploring his legal options for resolving the dispute, including
the possibility of appealing or vacating the judgment.

In addition, the following incident involving Mr. Reed took place more than 5
years ago, and the Company is under no obligation to include it in this
filing. In 1992, Mr. Reed was convicted at trial of wire fraud and unlawful
use of access device and served a 10 month sentence in a federal prison camp
and successfully completed the rest of his term on supervised release. There
were several counts amounting to approximately $2,800.00 in losses, plus court
and other costs, which all have been paid.

This case did not involve the purchase or sale of any security.
