                                    PART II

              INFORMATION REQUIRED IN THE REGISTRATION STATEMENT

ITEM 3.  INCORPORATION OF DOCUMENTS BY REFERENCE.

    The following documents, which have been filed with the Securities and
Exchange Commission (the "Commission") by Ram-Z Enterprises, Inc. (the
"Company"), are incorporated herein by reference and made a part hereof: (a)
the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-KSB for the fiscal year ended December
31, 1995; and (b) all other reports filed pursuant to Section 13(a) or 15(d) of
the Exchange Act since December 31, 1995.

    All documents filed by the Company pursuant to Sections 13(a), 13(c), 14
and 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, subsequent to the
date hereof and 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 part hereof from the date of the filing of such
documents.  Any statement contained in a document incorporated or deemed to be
incorporated by reference herein shall be modified or superseded for purposes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 deemed to be
incorporated by reference herein modifies or supersedes such statement.  Any
such statement so modified or superseded shall not be deemed, except as so
modified or superseded, to constitute a part of this Registration Statement.

ITEM 4.  DESCRIPTION OF SECURITIES.

    The Registrant is authorized to issue one class of securities, being
comprised of $0.001 par value common voting stock.

    The holders of the $0.001 par value common stock of the Registrant have
traditional rights as to voting, dividends and liquidation.  All shares of
common stock are entitled to one vote on all matters; there are no pre-emptive
rights and cumulative voting is not allowed.  The common stock is not subject
to redemption and carries no subscription or conversion rights.  In the event
of liquidation of the Registrant, the holders of common stock are entitled to
share equally in corporate assets after satisfaction of all liabilities.

ITEM 5.  INTERESTS OF NAMED EXPERTS AND COUNSEL.

    Axelrod, Smith & Kirshbaum, who has prepared this Registration Statement
and Opinion regarding the authorization, issuance and fully-paid and
non-assessable status of the securities covered by this Registration Statement,
has represented the Registrant in the past on certain legal matters.  Excluding
any shares of common stock that may be issued to Robert D. Axelrod pursuant to
this Registration Statement, Mr. Axelrod owns no shares of common stock of the
Registrant.  Otherwise, his entire relationship with the Registrant has been as
legal counsel, and there are no arrangements or understandings which would in
any way cause him to be deemed an affiliate of the Registrant or a person
associated with an affiliate of the Registrant.

ITEM 6.  INDEMNIFICATION OF OFFICERS AND DIRECTORS.

    Under the Delaware General Corporation Law, a corporation has the power to
indemnify any





                                       2
<PAGE>   3
person who is made a party to any civil, criminal, administrative or
investigative proceeding, other than an action by or in the right of the
corporation, by reason of the fact that such person was a director, officer,
employee or agent of the corporation, against expenses, including attorneys'
fees, judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement of any such actions if he
or she acted in good faith and in a manner reasonably believed to be in or not
opposed to the best interest of the corporation; provided, however, in any
criminal proceeding, the indemnified person shall have had no reason to believe
the conduct committed was unlawful.

    It is the position of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the
"Commission") that indemnification against liabilities for violations under the
federal securities laws, rules and regulations is against public policy.  See
subparagraph (c) of Item 9 below.


ITEM 7.  EXEMPTION FROM REGISTRATION CLAIMED.

    Not applicable.

ITEM 8.  EXHIBITS.

    The following is a list of exhibits filed as part of the Registration

         23(i)                Consent of Jack Evans, Certified Public
                              Accountant

         23(iii)              Consent of Jones, Jensen & Company

ITEM 9.  UNDERTAKINGS.

    The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes:

    A.   (1) To file during any period in which offers or sales are being made,
a post-effective amendment to this Registration Statement:

         (i) to include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the
    Securities Act of 1933;

         (ii)    to reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after
    the effective date of this registration statement (or the most recent
    post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate,
    represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in this
    registration statement;

         (iii)   to include any material information with respect to the plan
    of distribution not previously disclosed in this registration statement or
    any material change to such information in this registration statement;
    provided, however, that paragraphs (a) (i) and (a) (ii) above do not





                                       3
<PAGE>   4
    apply if the  registration statement is on Form S-3 or Form S-8 and the
    information required to be included in a post-effective amendment by those
    paragraphs is contained in periodic reports filed by the Registrant
    pursuant to Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the 1934 Act that are
    incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement.

         (2) That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the
Securities Act of 1933, each such post- effective amendment shall be deemed to
be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and
the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial
bona fide offering thereof.

         (3) To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment
any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination
of the offering.

    B.   The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of
determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each filing of the
registrant's annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or Section 15(d) of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (and, where applicable, each filing of an
employee benefit plan's annual report pursuant to Section 15(d) of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934) that is incorporated by reference in the
registration statement shall be deemed to be a new registration statement
relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities
at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

    C.   Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the
Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers, and controlling
persons of the Registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise,
that the Registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and
Exchange Commission, such indemnification is against public policy as expressed
in the Act and is, therefore, unenforceable.  In the event that a claim for
indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the
Registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling
person of the Registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or
proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in
connection with the securities being registered, the Registrant will, unless in
the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling
precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question of
whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the
Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

                                    PART II

              INFORMATION REQUIRED IN THE REGISTRATION STATEMENT

ITEM 3.  INCORPORATION OF DOCUMENTS BY REFERENCE.

    The following documents, which have been filed with the Securities and
Exchange Commission (the "Commission") by Ram-Z Enterprises, Inc. (the
"Company"), are incorporated herein by reference and made a part hereof: (a)
the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-KSB for the fiscal year ended December
31, 1995; and (b) all other reports filed pursuant to Section 13(a) or 15(d) of
the Exchange Act since December 31, 1995.

    All documents filed by the Company pursuant to Sections 13(a), 13(c), 14
and 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, subsequent to the
date hereof and 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 part hereof from the date of the filing of such
documents.  Any statement contained in a document incorporated or deemed to be
incorporated by reference herein shall 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 deemed to be
incorporated by reference herein modifies or supersedes such statement.  Any
such statement so modified or superseded shall not be deemed, except as so
modified or superseded, to constitute a part of this Registration Statement.

ITEM 4.  DESCRIPTION OF SECURITIES.

    The Registrant is authorized to issue one class of securities, being
comprised of $0.001 par value common voting stock.

    The holders of the $0.001 par value common stock of the Registrant have
traditional rights as to voting, dividends and liquidation.  All shares of
common stock are entitled to one vote on all matters; there are no pre-emptive
rights and cumulative voting is not allowed.  The common stock is not subject
to redemption and carries no subscription or conversion rights.  In the event
of liquidation of the Registrant, the holders of common stock are entitled to
share equally in corporate assets after satisfaction of all liabilities.

ITEM 5.  INTERESTS OF NAMED EXPERTS AND COUNSEL.

    Axelrod, Smith & Kirshbaum, who has prepared this Registration Statement
and Opinion regarding the authorization, issuance and fully-paid and
non-assessable status of the securities covered by this Registration Statement,
has represented the Registrant in the past on certain legal matters.  Excluding
any shares of common stock that may be issued to Robert D. Axelrod pursuant to
this Registration Statement, Mr. Axelrod owns no shares of common stock of the
Registrant.  Otherwise, his entire relationship with the Registrant has been as
legal counsel, and there are no arrangements or understandings which would in
any way cause him to be deemed an affiliate of the Registrant or a person
associated with an affiliate of the Registrant.

ITEM 6.  INDEMNIFICATION OF OFFICERS AND DIRECTORS.

    Under the Delaware General Corporation Law, a corporation has the power to
indemnify any

                                       2
3
person who is made a party to any civil, criminal, administrative or
investigative proceeding, other than an action by or in the right of the
corporation, by reason of the fact that such person was a director, officer,
employee or agent of the corporation, against expenses, including attorneys'
fees, judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement of any such actions if he
or she acted in good faith and in a manner reasonably believed to be in or not
opposed to the best interest of the corporation; provided, however, in any
criminal proceeding, the indemnified person shall have had no reason to believe
the conduct committed was unlawful.

    It is the position of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the
"Commission") that indemnification against liabilities for violations under the
federal securities laws, rules and regulations is against public policy.  See
subparagraph (c) of Item 9 below.

ITEM 7.  EXEMPTION FROM REGISTRATION CLAIMED.

    Not applicable.

ITEM 8.  EXHIBITS.

    The following is a list of exhibits filed as part of the Registration

         23(i)                Consent of Jack Evans, Certified Public
                              Accountant

ITEM 9.  UNDERTAKINGS.

    The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes:

    A.   (1) To file during any period in which offers or sales are being made,
a post-effective amendment to this Registration Statement:

         (i) to include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the
    Securities Act of 1933;

         (ii)    to reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after
    the effective date of this registration statement (or the most recent
    post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate,
    represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in this
    registration statement;

         (iii)   to include any material information with respect to the plan
    of distribution not previously disclosed in this registration statement or
    any material change to such information in this registration statement;
    provided, however, that paragraphs (a) (i) and (a) (ii) above do not

                                       3
4
    apply if the  registration statement is on Form S-3 or Form S-8 and the
    information required to be included in a post-effective amendment by those
    paragraphs is contained in periodic reports filed by the Registrant
    pursuant to Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the 1934 Act that are
    incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement.

         (2) That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the
Securities Act of 1933, each such post- effective amendment shall be deemed to
be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and
the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial
bona fide offering thereof.

         (3) To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment
any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination
of the offering.

    B.   The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of
determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each filing of the
registrant's annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or Section 15(d) of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (and, where applicable, each filing of an
employee benefit plan's annual report pursuant to Section 15(d) of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934) that is incorporated by reference in the
registration statement shall be deemed to be a new registration statement
relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities
at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

    C.   Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the
Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers, and controlling
persons of the Registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise,
that the Registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and
Exchange Commission, such indemnification is against public policy as expressed
in the Act and is, therefore, unenforceable.  In the event that a claim for
indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the
Registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling
person of the Registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or
proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in
connection with the securities being registered, the Registrant will, unless in
the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling
precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question of
whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the
Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

Registrant certifies that it has reasonable grounds to believe that it meets
all of the requirements for filing on Form S-8 and has duly caused this
Registration Statement to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned, thereunto
duly authorized, in the City of Houston, State of Texas, on December 19, 1996.
