Item 3.

The following documents are incorporated herein by reference:

(a)   (1) The Form 10-K of Virtual Technology Corporation, filed with the
          SEC on May 6, 1999.

      (2) The Form 10-SB of Virtual Technology Corporation, filed with the SEC 
          on February 12, 1999.

(b)   All reports and other documents subsequently filed by the Company
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 of this
registration statement from the date of the filing of such reports and
documents.

(c)   (i) Form of Common Stock Certificate, see Exhibit 3(a) for the Form 10-K
of Virtual Technology Corporation, filed February 12, 1999; and (ii) Form of 
Stock Purchase Warrant, see Exhibit 3(b) of the Form 10-SB of Virtual Technology
Corporation, filed February 12, 1999.

Item 4. Description of Securities.

Not Applicable.

Item 5. Interests of Named Experts and Counsel.

      The legality of the Common Stock offered hereby will be passed upon for
the Company by Messerli & Kramer P.A. of Minneapolis, Minnesota ("Messerli &
Kramer"). As of the date of this prospectus, Messerli & Kramer owns 27,500
shares of the Registrant's Common Stock.

Item 6. Indemnification of Directors and Officers.

      The Bylaws of the Company and the statutes of the State of Minnesota give
the Company the power to indemnify any director, officer, employee, or agent who
was or is a party to any threatened, pending, or completed action, suit, or
proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative, or investigative, against
certain liabilities and expenses incurred in connection with the action, suit,
or proceeding. The Bylaws of the Company provide that the Company shall
indemnify any such directors, officers, employees, or agents to the full extent
provided under applicable provisions of the Minnesota Statutes. These provisions
do not affect the availability of equitable remedies, such as an action to
enjoin or rescind a transaction involving a breach of fiduciary duty, although,
as a practical matter, equitable relief may not be available. In the opinion of
the Securities and Exchange Commission, such indemnification is against public
policy as expressed in the Securities Act. As a result, the above provisions may
not limit liability of the directors for violations of, or relieve them from the
necessity of complying with, the federal securities laws.

Item 9. Undertakings.

UNDERTAKINGS

1. The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes:

        (a) 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;

            (ii) To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after
        the effective date of the 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 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 
        


                                       -3-
<PAGE>   4
        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,and (iii) 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;


        PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that paragraphs (a)(i) and (a)(ii) do not apply if
the information required to be included in a post-effective amendment by those
paragraphs is contained in periodic reports filed by the issuer pursuant to
section 13 or section 15(d) of the Exchange Act that are incorporated by
reference herein.

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

        (c) 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.

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

3.      Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities
Act 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 Securities 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 Securities Act and will be governed by the final
adjudication of such issue.

        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,and (iii) 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;

        PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that paragraphs (a)(i) and (a)(ii) do not apply if
the information required to be included in a post-effective amendment by those
paragraphs is contained in periodic reports filed by the issuer pursuant to
section 13 or section 15(d) of the Exchange Act that are incorporated by
reference herein.

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

        (c) 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.

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

3.      Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities
Act 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 Securities 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 Securities Act and will be governed by the final
adjudication of such issue.
