INTRODUCTION The transaction contemplated by this Agreement is intended to be an integral part of a "tax free" contribution of property under Section 351 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 as amended. As a single consolidated transaction, Pubco will simultaneously exchange shares of its stock (the "Pubco Stock") for 100% of the outstanding stock of SmartGate and $1,187,000 of capital. The acquisition by Pubco of SmartGate is contingent upon, simultaneous with and indivisible from Pubco's acquisition of $1,187,000 of capital; likewise, Pubco's acquisition of $1,187,000 of capital is contingent upon, simultaneous with and indivisible from Pubco's acquisition of SmartGate. As a result of this transaction, Pubco shall issue capital stock of Pubco in exchange for said property representing more than 80% of the Pubco stock outstanding immediately after closing. AGREEMENT SECTION 1 GENERAL Issuance of shares of Pubco shall be part of a single consolidated transaction which has two integral components, each of which will close simultaneously, will be contingent upon each other and will be indivisible from each other. The two components of this transaction are: (i) the SmartGate Stockholders, as of the date of closing as such term is defined in Section 3 hereof (the "Closing" or the "Closing Date") shall contribute to Pubco at Closing certificates representing 100% of the outstanding shares of SmartGate. The transfer of SmartGate shares shall be made free and clear of all liens, mortgages, prejudices, encumbrances or charges, whether disclosed or undisclosed except as the SmartGate shareholders and Pubco shareholders have otherwise agreed in writing. The SmartGate shareholders shall receive approximately 7,743,548 shares of Pubco stock representing no less than 74% of the outstanding capital stock of Pubco immediately after Closing in exchange for the delivery of said property; and (ii) suitable and sophisticated parties shall contribute a minimal $1,187,000 to Pubco in the form of cash in exchange for approximately 657,952 shares of capital stock of Pubco which will be outstanding immediately after Closing. The contribution of SmartGate Shares for Pubco shares shall be governed by this Agreement while the contribution of $1,187,000 for Pubco shares shall be governed by the private placement memorandum and separate subscription agreements which are expressly incorporated into this Agreement and which are expressly made a part of this Agreement. Accordingly, after the conclusion of the transaction, Pubco shall, in exchange for the foregoing described property (i.e. 100% of the outstanding stock of SmartGate and $1,187,000 in cash investment), issue stock representing more than 80% of the capital stock of Pubco immediately after Closing. The shareholders of Pubco not participating in this transaction shall hold less than 20% of the capital of Pubco immediately after closing. All shareholders of Pubco, immediately following closing of this Agreement, shall be set forth on Schedule 1. SECTION 2 CONTRIBUTION OF SMARTGATE FOR PUBCO STOCK 2.1 Issuance and Delivery of Pubco Stock. Subject to the terms and conditions contained in this Agreement, at the Closing, Pubco shall acquire from the SmartGate Shareholders, and each SmartGate Shareholder, shall contribute to Pubco, that number of shares of SmartGate Stock set forth on Schedule 4.2. Subject to the provisions below regarding fractional shares, as consideration for the transfer, assignment, conveyance and delivery of the SmartGate Stock hereunder, at the Closing, Pubco shall issue to SmartGate Shareholders that number of shares of Pubco reflected on Schedule 4.2, representing approximately 7,743,548 shares of Pubco Common Stock which shall represent not less than 74% of the outstanding Common Stock of Pubco immediately following the Closing of this Agreement (hereafter referred to as the "Exchange Transaction"). 2.2 Issuance of Pubco Options. As further consideration for this transaction Pubco shall, at closing, issue options of Pubco in the amount and terms set forth on Schedule 4.2 to replace the outstanding options of SmartGate which represents 491,191 shares at an exercise price per share of $1.00 2.3 No Lien or Encumbrances on Pubco Stock. The issuance of the Pubco Stock shall be made free and clear of all liens, mortgages, pledges, encumbrances or charges, whether disclosed or undisclosed, except as the SmartGate Shareholders and Pubco shall have otherwise agreed in writing. 2.4 Fractional Shares. Notwithstanding any other term or provision of this Agreement, no fractional share of Pubco Common Stock and no certificates or scrip therefor, or other evidence of ownership thereof, will be issued and neither shall any SmartGate Shareholder have any right to receive cash in lieu thereof. Each SmartGate Shareholder's pro rata share of Pubco Common Stock shall be rounded up to the nearest whole number of shares. 2.5 No Registration of the Pubco Stock; Legend. None of the Pubco Stock issued to the SmartGate Shareholders shall, at the time of Closing, be registered under federal or state securities laws but, rather, shall be issued pursuant to an exemption therefrom and shall be considered "restricted stock" within the meaning of Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"). The Pubco Common Stock so issued shall bear a legend worded substantially as follows: "THESE SECURITIES HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE "SECURITIES ACT") AND ARE "RESTRICTED SECURITIES" AS DEFINED IN RULE 144 PROMULGATED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT. THE SHARES REPRESENTED BY THE CERTIFICATE MAY NOT BE SOLD, OFFERED FOR SALE, PLEDGED, HYPOTHECATED, TRANSFERRED OR ASSIGNED EXCEPT (1) PURSUANT TO A REGISTRATION STATEMENT THEN IN EFFECT UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT, (2) IN COMPLIANCE WITH RULE 144, OR (3) PURSUANT TO AN OPINION OF COUNSEL TO THE ISSUER HEREOF, SATISFACTORY IN FORM AND SUBSTANCE TO THE ISSUER, THAT SUCH REGISTRATION OR COMPLIANCE IS NOT REQUIRED AS TO SUCH SALE, OFFER TO SELL, PLEDGE, HYPOTHECATION, TRANSFER OR ASSIGNMENT" 2 Pubco's transfer agent shall annotate its records to reflect the restrictions on transfer embodied in the legend set forth above.

These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based upon our audit. We conducted our audit 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 audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion. In our opinion the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Torik Corporation (a Company in the Development Stage) as of March 31, 1999, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the period from inception (July 9, 1998) through March 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.

Activities through March 31, 1999 include organization of the Company and the raising of equity capital. The Company intends to complete detailed impact analysis on corporate information systems to verify if the system will have date-related failures in the year 2000. 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 revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. NET LOSS PER SHARE OF COMMON STOCK Net loss per share of common stock is based on weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. NOTE 2 - SHAREHOLDERS' EQUITY The Company has the authority to issue 25,000,000 shares of common stock $0.001 par value. The Company issued 1,500,000 shares of common stock to one founder for $1,500 and 1,000,000 shares of common stock to other shareholders for $10,000 in August, 1998. The Company issued 31,000 shares of common stock in connection with a private offering for $1,550 in August, 1998. NOTE 3 - RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS For the period ended March 31, 1999, the Company paid $5,750 in office expenses and $4,950 in management and consulting fees to its original founding shareholder and an affiliate of this shareholder. NOTE 4 - GOING CONCERN The Company has suffered recurring losses from operations that raises a substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. The continuation of the Company as a going concern is dependent upon the Company attaining and maintaining profitable operations and raising additional capital. Management's plans in this regard is to raise additional capital through an equity offering. The financial statements do not include any adjustment relating to the recovery and classification of recorded asset amounts or the amount and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company discontinue operations.

(the "Company") was incorporated under the laws of Nevada and intends to complete detailed impact analysis on corporate information systems to verify if the system will have date-related failures in the year 2000. The Company has also decided to enter into the manufacturing and distribution of safety sensors for closing devices. Development Stage: The Company is currently in the development stage and has no significant operations to date. Income Taxes: Income Taxes are provided for the tax effects of transactions reported in the financial statements and consist of taxes currently due plus deferred taxes related primarily to differences between the recorded book basis and tax basis of assets and liabilities for financial and income tax reporting. The deferred tax assets and liabilities represent the future tax return consequences of those difference, which will either be taxable or deductible when the assets and liabilities are offset future taxable income and tax credits that are available to offset federal income taxes. Due to the Company's net operating loss there are no income taxes currently due. Also, there were no material differences between recorded book basis and tax basis at January 31, 2000.

Cash paid for interest and taxes in the period ended January 31, 2000 was $-0-.
