                  As  permitted  by the  rules of the  Securities  and  Exchange
Commission (the "Commission"), this Registration Statement omits the information

                           INFORMATION REQUIRED IN THE
                             REGISTRATION STATEMENT

Item 3.  Incorporation of Documents by Reference.

         The following  documents  which have been filed by Ikon Ventures,  Inc.
(the  "Registrant")  with the Commission  under the  Securities  Exchange Act of
1934, as amended (the  "Exchange  Act"),  are  incorporated  herein by reference
(File No. 000-29331):

         (a)      Annual  Report  on Form  10-KSB  for  the  fiscal  year  ended
                  December 31, 2000; and

         (b)      Description  of   Registrant's   common  stock   contained  in
                  Registrant's  Form 10-SB filed with the Commission on February
                  3, 2000.

         All documents  subsequently  filed by  Registrant  pursuant to Sections
13(a),  13(c),  14 and  15(d) of the  Exchange  Act,  prior to the  filing  of a
post-effective  amendment which indicates that all securities  offered have been
sold or which deregisters all securities then remaining unsold,  shall be deemed
to be incorporated by reference  herein and to be a part hereof from the date of
filing  such  documents.  Any  statement  contained  herein  or  in  a  document
incorporated or deemed to be incorporated herein by reference shall be deemed to
be modified or  superseded  for purposes of this  Registration  Statement to the
extent  that a statement  contained  herein or in any other  subsequently  filed
document  which  also is or is deemed to be  incorporated  by  reference  herein
modifies or supersedes such statement.

Item 6.  Indemnification of Directors and Officers.

         The Nevada General  Corporation  Law ("NGCL")  permits  corporations to
indemnify any  director,  officer,  employee or agent of a corporation  from and
against any and all expenses and other  liabilities  incurred in connection with
any  threatened,  pending or  completed  action or  proceeding,  whether  civil,
criminal administrative or investigative, except an action by or in the right of
the  corporation,  if such person acted in good faith and in a manner which such
person 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 no
reasonable cause to believe his conduct was unlawful.

         In addition,  under the NGCL, a corporation may indemnify any director,
officer,  emplo7yee  or agent of a  corporation  from  and  against  any and all
expenses  and other  liabilities  incurred in  connection  with any  threatened,
pending or  completed  action or suit by or in the right of the  corporation  if
such person  acted in good faith and in a manner  which such  person  reasonably
believed to be or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation. However,
the NGCL  provides  that  indemnification  may not be made with  respect  to any
matter as to which a person has been  determined to be liable to the corporation
by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final adjudication, unless and only to
the extent  that the court in which the action was  brought or another  court of
competent jurisdiction determines that the person is entitled to indemnity.

         The  NGCL  further  provides  that a  corporation  must  indemnify  any
director,  officer,  employee or agent of a corporation from and against any and
all  expenses  incurred by such  person in the  defense of any  action,  suit or
proceeding, provided that such person has been successful in the defense of such
suit.

         Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities
Act of 1933,  as amended,  may be  permitted to  directors,  officers or persons
controlling the Company  pursuant to the foregoing  provisions,  the Company has
been informed that, in the opinion of the SEC, such  indemnification  is against
public  policy  as  expressed  in that  Act and  is,  therefore,  unenforceable.
Furthermore,  a  successful  indemnification  of any officer or  director  could
deplete the assets of the Company.


Item 7.  Exemption from Registration Claimed.

         Not applicable.

Item 8.  Exhibits.

         Reference is made to the Exhibit Index.

Item 9.  Undertakings.

         The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes:

<PAGE>

                           (1) To file,  during any period in which it offers or
                  sells   securities,   a   post-effective   amendment  to  this
                  registration statement to:

                               (i)   Include any  prospectus required by Section
                  10(a)(3) of the Securities Act;

                               (ii)  Reflect in the  prospectus  any   facts  or
                  events   which,   individually   or   together,   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%  change  in the  maximum
                  aggregate  offering  price  set forth in the  "Calculation  of
                  Registration   Fee"  table  in  the   effective   registration
                  statement;

                               (iii) Include any additional or changed  material
                  information on the plan of distribution;

         provided,  however,  that  paragraphs  (a)(1)(i) and  (a)(1)(ii) do not
         apply if the registration statement is on Form S-3 or Form S-8, and the
         information  required in a post-effective  amendment is incorporated by
         reference from periodic  reports filed by Registrant under the Exchange
         Act in the registration statement.

                           (2) For  determining  liability  under the Securities
         Act treat each post-effective amendment as a new registration statement
         of the securities  offered,  and the offering of the securities at that
         time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering.

                           (3) File a post-effective  registration  statement to
         remove from  registration  any of the securities being registered which
         remain unsold at the end of the offering.

                             REGISTRATION STATEMENT

Item 3.  Incorporation of Documents by Reference.

         The following  documents  which have been filed by Ikon Ventures,  Inc.
(the  "Registrant")  with the Commission  under the  Securities  Exchange Act of
1934, as amended (the  "Exchange  Act"),  are  incorporated  herein by reference
(File No. 000-29331):

         (a)      Annual  Report  on Form  10-KSB  for  the  fiscal  year  ended
                  December 31, 2000; and

         (b)      Description  of   Registrant's   common  stock   contained  in
                  Registrant's  Form 10-SB filed with the Commission on February
                  3, 2000.

         All documents  subsequently  filed by  Registrant  pursuant to Sections
13(a),  13(c),  14 and  15(d) of the  Exchange  Act,  prior to the  filing  of a
post-effective  amendment which indicates that all securities  offered have been
sold or which deregisters all securities then remaining unsold,  shall be deemed
to be incorporated by reference  herein and to be a part hereof from the date of
filing  such  documents.  Any  statement  contained  herein  or  in  a  document
incorporated or deemed to be incorporated herein by reference shall be deemed to
be modified or  superseded  for purposes of this  Registration  Statement to the
extent  that a statement  contained  herein or in any other  subsequently  filed
document  which  also is or is deemed to be  incorporated  by  reference  herein
modifies or supersedes such statement.

Item 4.  Description of Securities.

         Not applicable.

Item 5.  Interest of Named Experts and Counsel.

         Not applicable.

                                       2
Item 6.  Indemnification of Directors and Officers.

         The Nevada General  Corporation  Law ("NGCL")  permits  corporations to
indemnify any  director,  officer,  employee or agent of a corporation  from and
against any and all expenses and other  liabilities  incurred in connection with
any  threatened,  pending or  completed  action or  proceeding,  whether  civil,
criminal administrative or investigative, except an action by or in the right of
the  corporation,  if such person acted in good faith and in a manner which such
person 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 no
reasonable cause to believe his conduct was unlawful.

         In addition,  under the NGCL, a corporation may indemnify any director,
officer,  emplo7yee  or agent of a  corporation  from  and  against  any and all
expenses  and other  liabilities  incurred in  connection  with any  threatened,
pending or  completed  action or suit by or in the right of the  corporation  if
such person  acted in good faith and in a manner  which such  person  reasonably
believed to be or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation. However,
the NGCL  provides  that  indemnification  may not be made with  respect  to any
matter as to which a person has been  determined to be liable to the corporation
by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final adjudication, unless and only to
the extent  that the court in which the action was  brought or another  court of
competent jurisdiction determines that the person is entitled to indemnity.

         The  NGCL  further  provides  that a  corporation  must  indemnify  any
director,  officer,  employee or agent of a corporation from and against any and
all  expenses  incurred by such  person in the  defense of any  action,  suit or
proceeding, provided that such person has been successful in the defense of such
suit.

         Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities
Act of 1933,  as amended,  may be  permitted to  directors,  officers or persons
controlling the Company  pursuant to the foregoing  provisions,  the Company has
been informed that, in the opinion of the SEC, such  indemnification  is against
public  policy  as  expressed  in that  Act and  is,  therefore,  unenforceable.
Furthermore,  a  successful  indemnification  of any officer or  director  could
deplete the assets of the Company.

Item 7.  Exemption from Registration Claimed.

         Not applicable.

Item 8.  Exhibits.

         Reference is made to the Exhibit Index.

Item 9.  Undertakings.

         The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes:

                                        3
(1) To file,  during any period in which it offers or
                  sells   securities,   a   post-effective   amendment  to  this
                  registration statement to:

                               (i)   Include any  prospectus required by Section
                  10(a)(3) of the Securities Act;

                               (ii)  Reflect in the  prospectus  any   facts  or
                  events   which,   individually   or   together,   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%  change  in the  maximum
                  aggregate  offering  price  set forth in the  "Calculation  of
                  Registration   Fee"  table  in  the   effective   registration
                  statement;

                               (iii) Include any additional or changed  material
                  information on the plan of distribution;

         provided,  however,  that  paragraphs  (a)(1)(i) and  (a)(1)(ii) do not
         apply if the registration statement is on Form S-3 or Form S-8, and the
         information  required in a post-effective  amendment is incorporated by
         reference from periodic  reports filed by Registrant under the Exchange
         Act in the registration statement.

                           (2) For  determining  liability  under the Securities
         Act treat each post-effective amendment as a new registration statement
         of the securities  offered,  and the offering of the securities at that
         time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering.

                           (3) File a post-effective  registration  statement to
         remove from  registration  any of the securities being registered which
         remain unsold at the end of the offering.
