holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of Common Stock will be able to
elect the entire board of directors and, if they do so, minority shareholders
would not be able to elect any members to the board of directors. Fortis' board
of directors has authority, without action by its shareholders, to issue all or
any portion of the authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock, which would
reduce the percentage ownership of Fortis of its shareholders and which may
dilute the book value of the Common Stock. Shareholders of the Company have no
pre-emptive rights to acquire additional shares of Common Stock. The Common
Stock is not subject to redemption and carries no subscription or conversion
rights. In the event of liquidation of Fortis, the shares of Common Stock are
entitled to share equally in corporate assets after satisfaction of all
liabilities. Holders of Common Stock are entitled to receive such dividends as
the board of directors may from time to time declare out of funds legally
available for the payment of dividends. Fortis has not paid cash dividends on
its Common Stock and does not anticipate that it will pay cash dividends in the
foreseeable future.</p>

The Preferred Stock may be issued from time to time by the Board of Directors as
shares of one or more classes or series. Subject to the provisions of Fortis'
Articles of Incorporation and limitations imposed by law, the Board of Directors
is expressly authorized to adopt resolutions to issue the shares, to fix the
number of shares and to change the number of shares constituting any series, and
to provide for or change the voting powers, designations, preferences and
relative, participating, optional or other special rights, qualifications,
limitations or restrictions thereof, including dividend rights (including
whether dividends are cumulative), dividend rates, terms of redemption
(including sinking fund provisions), redemption prices, conversion rights and
liquidation preferences of the shares constituting any class or series of the
Preferred Stock, in each case without any further action or vote by the
stockholders.</p>

<p style="word-spacing: 0; line-height: 100%; margin: 0">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
One of the effects of undesignated Preferred Stock may be to enable the Board of
Directors to render more difficult or to discourage an attempt to obtain control
of Fortis by means of a tender offer, proxy contest, merger or otherwise, and
thereby to protect the continuity of Fortis' management. The issuance of shares
of Preferred Stock pursuant to the Board of Director's authority described above
may adversely affect the rights of holders of Common Stock. For example,
Preferred stock issued by Fortis may rank prior to the Common Stock as to
dividend rights, liquidation preference or both, may have full or limited voting
rights and may be convertible into shares of Common Stock. Accordingly, the
issuance of shares of Preferred Stock may discourage bids for the Common Stock
at a premium or may otherwise adversely affect the market price of the Common
Stock.</p>

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 Company 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
Company will, unless in the opinion of its counsel that 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

Item 4.
Description of Securities.
General
Fortis is authorized to issue 100,000,000 shares of Common Stock, par value
$.001 per share, of which 65,000,000 were outstanding as of July 21, 2003 and
5,000,000 shares of Preferred Stock, par value $.001 per share, of which no
shares are issued or outstanding.
Common
Stock
Holders of Common Stock are entitled to one vote per share on each matter
submitted to vote at any meeting of shareholders. Shares of Common Stock do not
carry cumulative voting
rights and therefore,
holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of Common Stock will be able to
elect the entire board of directors and, if they do so, minority shareholders
would not be able to elect any members to the board of directors. Fortis' board
of directors has authority, without action by its shareholders, to issue all or
any portion of the authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock, which would
reduce the percentage ownership of Fortis of its shareholders and which may
dilute the book value of the Common Stock. Shareholders of the Company have no
pre-emptive rights to acquire additional shares of Common Stock. The Common
Stock is not subject to redemption and carries no subscription or conversion
rights. In the event of liquidation of Fortis, the shares of Common Stock are
entitled to share equally in corporate assets after satisfaction of all
liabilities. Holders of Common Stock are entitled to receive such dividends as
the board of directors may from time to time declare out of funds legally
available for the payment of dividends. Fortis has not paid cash dividends on
its Common Stock and does not anticipate that it will pay cash dividends in the
foreseeable future.
Preferred
Stock
The Preferred Stock may be issued from time to time by the Board of Directors as
shares of one or more classes or series. Subject to the provisions of Fortis'
Articles of Incorporation and limitations imposed by law, the Board of Directors
is expressly authorized to adopt resolutions to issue the shares, to fix the
number of shares and to change the number of shares constituting any series, and
to provide for or change the voting powers, designations, preferences and
relative, participating, optional or other special rights, qualifications,
limitations or restrictions thereof, including dividend rights (including
whether dividends are cumulative), dividend rates, terms of redemption
(including sinking fund provisions), redemption prices, conversion rights and
liquidation preferences of the shares constituting any class or series of the
Preferred Stock, in each case without any further action or vote by the
stockholders.
One of the effects of undesignated Preferred Stock may be to enable the Board of
Directors to render more difficult or to discourage an attempt to obtain control
of Fortis by means of a tender offer, proxy contest, merger or otherwise, and
thereby to protect the continuity of Fortis' management. The issuance of shares
of Preferred Stock pursuant to the Board of Director's authority described above
may adversely affect the rights of holders of Common Stock. For example,
Preferred stock issued by Fortis may rank prior to the Common Stock as to
dividend rights, liquidation preference or both, may have full or limited voting
rights and may be convertible into shares of Common Stock. Accordingly, the
issuance of shares of Preferred Stock may discourage bids for the Common Stock
at a premium or may otherwise adversely affect the market price of the Common
Stock.
Item 5.
Interests of Named Experts and Counsel.
Not applicable.
Item
6. Indemnification.
Fortis' Articles of Incorporation contains provisions for indemnification of its
officers and directors; in addition, Section 78.751 of the Nevada General
Corporation Laws provides as follows:
78.751
Indemnification of officers, directors, employees and agents; advance of
expenses.
A
    corporation may indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened
    to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or
    proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, except
    an action by or in the right of the corporation, by reason of the fact that
    he is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation, or
    is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director, officer,
    employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust
    or other enterprise, against expenses, including attorney's fees, judgments,
    fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by him
    in connection with the action, suit or proceeding if he acted in good faith
    and in a manner which he 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.
    The termination of any action, suit or proceeding by judgment, order,
    settlement, conviction, or upon a plea of nolo contendere or its equivalent,
    does not, of itself, create a presumption that the person did not act in
    good faith and in a manner which he reasonably believed to be in or not
    opposed to the best interests of the corporation, and that, with respect to
    any criminal action or proceeding, he had reasonable cause to believe that
    his conduct was unlawful.
A
    corporation may indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened
    to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action or suit by
    or in the right of the corporation to procure a judgment in its favor by
    reason of the fact that he is or was a director, officer, employee or agent
    of the corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the corporation
    as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation,
    partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise against expenses,
    including amounts paid in settlement and attorneys' fees actually and
    reasonably incurred by him in connection with the defense or settlement of
    the action or suit if he acted in good faith and in a manner which he
    reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the
    corporation. Indemnification may not be made for any claim, issue or matter
    as to which such a person has been adjudged by a court of competent
    jurisdiction, after exhaustion of all appeals therefrom, to be liable to the
    corporation or for amounts paid in settlement to the corporation, unless and
    only to the extent that the court in which the action or suit was brought or
    other court of competent jurisdiction determines upon application that in
    view of all the circumstances of the case, the person is fairly and
    reasonably entitled to indemnity for such expenses as the court deems
    proper.
To
    the extent that a director, officer, employee or agent of a corporation has
    been successful on the merits or otherwise in defense of any action, suit or
    proceeding referred to in subsections 1 and 2, or in defense of any claim,
    issue or matter therein, he must be indemnified by the corporation against
    expenses, including attorneys' fees, actually and reasonably incurred by him
    in connection with the defense.
Any
    indemnification under subsections 1 and 2, unless ordered by a court or
    advanced pursuant to subsection 5, must be made by the corporation only as
    authorized in the specific case upon a determination that indemnification of
    the director, officer, employee or agent is proper in the circumstances. The
    determination must be made:
By
    the stockholders;
By
    the board of directors by majority vote of a quorum consisting of directors
    who were not parties to action, suit or proceeding;
If
    a majority vote of a quorum consisting of directors who were not parties to
    the action, suit or proceeding so orders, by independent legal counsel in a
    written opinion; or
If a quorum
    consisting of directors who were not parties to the action, suit or
    proceeding cannot to obtained, by independent legal counsel in a written
    opinion.
The
    articles of incorporation, the bylaws or an agreement made by the
    corporation may provide that the expenses of officers and directors incurred
    in defending a civil or criminal, suit or proceeding must be paid by the
    corporation as they are incurred and in advance of the final disposition of
    the action, suit or proceeding, upon receipt of an undertaking by or on
    behalf of the director or officer to repay the amount if it is ultimately
    determined by a court of competent jurisdiction that he is not entitled to
    be indemnified by corporation. The provisions of this subsection do not
    affect any rights to advancement of expenses to which corporate personnel
    other than the directors or officers may be entitled under any contract or
    otherwise by law.
The
    indemnification and advancement of expenses authorized in or ordered by a
    court pursuant to this section:
Does
    not exclude any other rights to which a person seeking indemnification or
    advancement of expenses may be entitled under the articles of incorporation
    or any bylaw, agreement, vote of stockholders or disinterested directors or
    otherwise, for either an action in his official capacity or an action in
    another capacity while holding his office, except that indemnification,
    unless ordered by a court pursuant to subsection 2 or for the advancement of
    expenses made pursuant to subsection 5, may not be made to or on behalf of
    any director or officer if a final adjudication establishes that his act or
    omissions involved intentional misconduct, fraud or a knowing violation of
    the law and was material to the cause of action.
Continues
    for a person who has ceased to be a director, officer, employee or agent and
    inures to the benefit of the heirs, executors and administrators of such a
    person.
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may
be permitted to directors, officers or persons controlling Fortis pursuant to
the foregoing provisions, Fortis
has been informed 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.

Item 9.
Undertakings.
Fortis,
the 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 prospectus required by section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act of
    1933;
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;
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, including (but not
    limited to) any addition or election of a managing underwriter.
(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 offered 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.
The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of determining
any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each filing of the Company'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 referring 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.
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of
1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the
Company pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the Company 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 Company 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
Company will, unless in the opinion of its counsel that 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.
