</FONT>

<P align="left"><FONT size="2">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Section&nbsp;145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law (the &#147;DGCL&#148;)
provides, in
effect, that any person made a party to any action by reason of the fact that
he is or was a
director, officer, employee or agent of the Company may and, in certain cases,
must be
indemnified by the Company against, in the case of a non-derivative action,
judgments,
fines, amounts paid in settlement and reasonable expenses (including attorneys&#146;
fees)
incurred by him as a result of such action, and in the case of a derivative
action, against
expenses (including attorneys&#146; fees), if in either type of action he acted in
good faith and in
a manner he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best
interests of the
Company. This indemnification does not apply, in a derivative action, to
matters as to
which it is adjudged that the director, officer, employee or agent is liable
to the Company,
unless upon court order it is determined that, despite such adjudication of
liability, but in
view of all the circumstances of the case, he is fairly and reasonably
entitled to indemnity
for expenses, and, in a non-derivative action, to any criminal proceeding in
which such
person had reasonable cause to believe his conduct was unlawful.
</FONT>
<P align="left"><FONT size="2">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The Company&#146;s certificate of incorporation, provides that no director of
the Company shall be liable to the Company or its stockholders for monetary
damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director to the fullest extent
permitted by the DGCL.
</FONT>
<P align="left"><FONT size="2">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The Company&#146;s bylaws provide that the Company shall indemnify to the
fullest extent permitted by Delaware law any and all of its directors and
officers, or former directors and officers, or any person who may have served
at the Company&#146;s request as a director or officer of another corporation,
partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise.

</FONT>
<P align="left" style="margin-left:0%; margin-right:0%"><FONT size="2">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(1) To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a
post-effective amendment to this registration statement to include any material
information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed
in the registration statement or any material change to such information in the
registration statement;
</FONT>
<P align="left" style="margin-left:0%; margin-right:0%"><FONT size="2">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(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; and
</FONT>
<P align="left" style="margin-left:0%; margin-right:0%"><FONT size="2">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(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.
</FONT>
<P align="left"><FONT size="2">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b)&nbsp;The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of
determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each filing of the
registrant&#146;s annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or 15(d) of the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934 (and, where applicable, each filing of an employee benefit
plan&#146;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.
</FONT>
<P align="left"><FONT size="2">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(h)&nbsp;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, 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 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 previously filed by Mobile Reach International,
Inc., including its predecessor Asphalt Paving, Inc. (the "Company"), with the
Securities and Exchange Commission are incorporated herein by reference:
(a) The Company's Annual Report on Form 10-KSB for the fiscal year ended
July 31, 2002, filed pursuant to Section 13 of the Securities and Exchange Act
of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act");
(b) The Company's Quarterly Reports on Form 10-QSB for the quarters ended
October 31, 2002, January 31, 2003 and April 30, 2003 filed pursuant to Section
13 of the Exchange Act;
(c) The Company's Current Report on Form 8-K filed pursuant to Section 13
of the Exchange Act on August 14, 2003; and
(d) The description of the Company's Common Stock contained in the
Company's Registration Statement on Form 10SB (File No. 000-29313) filed
pursuant to Section 12 of the Exchange Act, including any amendment or report
filed for the purpose of updating such description.
All documents filed by the Company pursuant to Sections 13(a), 13(c), 14
or 15(d) of the Exchange Act after the date hereof and prior to the filing of a
post-effective amendment that indicates that all securities offered under this
registration statement have been sold or that deregisters all securities then
remaining unsold, shall be deemed to be incorporated by reference herein and to
be part hereof from the date of filing of such documents.
Any statement contained in a document incorporated by reference herein
shall be deemed to be modified or superseded for purposes hereof to the extent
that a statement contained herein (or in any other subsequently filed document
that also is or is deemed to be incorporated by reference herein) modifies or
supersedes such statement. Any statement so modified or superseded shall not be
deemed to constitute a part hereof except as so modified or superseded.
Item 4. Description of Securities.
Not applicable.
Item 5. Interests of Named Experts and Counsel.
Not applicable.

Item 6. Indemnification of Directors and Officers
.
Section 145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law (the "DGCL")
provides, in
effect, that any person made a party to any action by reason of the fact that
he is or was a
director, officer, employee or agent of the Company may and, in certain cases,
must be
indemnified by the Company against, in the case of a non-derivative action,
judgments,
fines, amounts paid in settlement and reasonable expenses (including attorneys'
fees)
incurred by him as a result of such action, and in the case of a derivative
action, against
expenses (including attorneys' fees), if in either type of action he acted in
good faith and in
a manner he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best
interests of the
Company. This indemnification does not apply, in a derivative action, to
matters as to
which it is adjudged that the director, officer, employee or agent is liable
to the Company,
unless upon court order it is determined that, despite such adjudication of
liability, but in
view of all the circumstances of the case, he is fairly and reasonably
entitled to indemnity
for expenses, and, in a non-derivative action, to any criminal proceeding in
which such
person had reasonable cause to believe his conduct was unlawful.
The Company's certificate of incorporation, provides that no director of
the Company shall be liable to the Company or its stockholders for monetary
damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director to the fullest extent
permitted by the DGCL.
The Company's bylaws provide that the Company shall indemnify to the
fullest extent permitted by Delaware law any and all of its directors and
officers, or former directors and officers, or any person who may have served
at the Company's request as a director or officer of another corporation,
partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise.
Item 7. Exemption from Registration Claimed.
Not applicable.

Item 9. Undertakings
.
(a) The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes:
(1) To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a
post-effective amendment to this registration statement to include any material
information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed
in the registration statement or any material change to such information 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; and
(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 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.
(h) 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, 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 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.
