          TKO International, Inc. :    TO CEASE AND DESIST
          and Leonard A. Turano   :
                                  :
          Respondents.            :
                                  :
          ________________________:

                                        I.

               On October 27, 1998, the Commission instituted
          administrative proceedings pursuant to Section 8A of the
          Securities Act of 1933 ("Securities Act") against TKO
          International, Inc. ("TKO") and Leonard A. Turano ("Turano").

               In response to the institution of these proceedings, TKO
          and Turano (collectively "Respondents") have submitted an
          Offer of Settlement ("Offer") which the Commission has
          determined to accept.  Solely for the purpose of these
          proceedings and any other proceedings brought by or on behalf
          of the Commission or in which the Commission is a party, and
          without admitting or denying the findings contained herein,
          except to admit the jurisdiction of the Commission over them
          and the subject matter herein, Respondents consent to the
          entry of this Order of the Commission Making Findings and
          Order to Cease and Desist ("Order").

                                       II.

               On the basis of this Order and the Offer submitted by the
          Respondents, the Commission finds that:

               A.   TKO is a closely held Colorado corporation with its
          place of business in Englewood, Colorado.  It provides public
          relations services, primarily for microcap public companies.

               B.   Turano, age 47, is a resident of Littleton,
          Colorado, and is the president and sole shareholder of TKO.
          From 1980 through 1993, Turano worked as a registered
          representative for numerous broker-dealers.

               C.   Turano founded TKO in 1994 to provide public
          relations services for publicly held corporations.  TKO and
          Turano collect information about client companies, assemble
          it, and distribute it to various media outlets.  In
          approximately 1997, TKO and Turano added Internet services to
          their menu, and they now provide client information on their
          "GrowthStockInvestor" web site (www.growthstockinvestor.com).
          This information is furnished by the client companies and is
          also collected from other public sources.

               D.   In September 1998, TKO and Turano violated Section
          17(b) of the Securities Act in that, by use of the means or
          instruments of transportation or communication in interstate
          commerce or by use of the mails, published, gave publicity to,
          or circulated notices, circulars, advertisements, newspapers,
          articles, letters, investment services, or communications
          which, though not purporting to offer a security for sale,
          described such security for a consideration received or to be
          received, directly or indirectly, from an issuer, underwriter,
          or dealer, without fully disclosing the receipt, whether past
          or prospective, of such consideration and the amount thereof.

               E.   As part of and in furtherance of the conduct
          described above in paragraph II.D, in September 1998, TKO and
          Turano, through use of the Internet and mailings, promoted
          microcap public companies without fully disclosing
          consideration received from those companies.  In this regard,
          TKO and Turano:

               1.   Promoted four of its public company clients, namely
          PDG Environmental, Inc., Navidec, Inc., Advanced Systems
          International, Inc. dba Automated Systems International and
          Wareforce One, Inc., on TKO’s "GrowthStockInvestor" web site,
          providing for one or more of these issuers descriptions of the
          issuer’s products,  business climate, financial information,
          securities prices and press releases, and provided Internet
          links to order additional financial and general news
          information about the issuers.  In at least one instance
          involving an issuer, TKO and Turano’s web site published
          favorable comments about the issuer made by several securities
          analysts.  As set forth on the web site, these analysts
          recommended the issuer with superlatives such as "Stock of the
          Month" and the "#1 Stock Pick for ‘98."

               2.   Failed to disclose that TKO and Turano contracted to
          receive, and did receive from $4,000 to $7,500 per month in
          cash from each of the four issuers, and received stock options
          from three of the issuers.  In one instance, TKO and/or Turano
          exercised approximately 75% of the options and sold the stock
          into the market for total net income of approximately
          $270,000.

                                       III.

               Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED, pursuant to Section 8A
          of the Securities Act, that Respondents TKO and Turano cease
          and desist from committing or causing any violations, and any
          future violations, of Section 17(b) of the Securities Act.

               For the Commission, by its Secretary, pursuant to
          delegated authority.
