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 317 of the California  Corporations Code, as amended,  provides
for the indemnification of Russian Imports.Com's officers, directors,  employees
and agents under certain circumstances, for any threatened, pending or completed
action or proceeding, whether civil, criminal,  administrative or investigative;
and "expenses"  includes  without  limitation  attorneys' fees and any expenses,
against expenses,  judgments, fines, settlements, and other amounts actually and
reasonably  incurred in connection  with the  proceeding if that person acted in
good  faith and in a manner  the person  reasonably  believed  to be in the best
interests of the corporation and, in the case of a criminal  proceeding,  had no
reasonable cause to believe the conduct of the person was unlawful.

         Russian  Imports.Com's  Certificate of Incorporation  provides that the
directors  of the Company  shall be  protected  from  personal  liability to the
fullest extent  permitted by law. Russian  Imports.Com's  By-laws also contain a
provision for the indemnification of Russian Imports.Com's directors.

         The Company's By-Laws provide that:

         "Each person who was or is made a party or is  threatened  to be made a
party or is involved in any action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal,
administrative or investigative  (hereinafter a "proceeding"),  by reason of the
fact that he or she, or a person of whom he or she is the legal  representative,
is or was a director or officer,  of the Corporation of is or was serving at the
request of the Corporation as a director,  officer, employee or agent of another
corporation  or of a  partnership,  joint  venture,  trust or other  enterprise,
including  service with respect to employee or agent or in any other capacity as
a director, officer, employee or agent or in any other capacity while serving as
a director,  officer,  employee or agent, shall be indemnified and held harmless
by the  Corporation  to the fullest  extent  authorized by the Delaware  General
Corporation  Law, as the same exists or may  hereafter be amended  (but,  in the
case of any such amendment,  only to the extent that such amendment  permits the
Corporation to provide broader


<PAGE>



indemnification  rights than said law permitted the Corporation to provide prior
to  such  amendment),   against  all  expense,  liability  and  loss  (including
attorney's fees,  judgments,  fines, ERISA excise taxes or penalties and amounts
paid or to be paid in settlement) reasonable incurred or suffered by such person
in connection therewith and such  indemnification  shall continue as to a person
who has ceased to be a director,  officer,  employee or agent and shall inure to
the  benefit  of his or  her  heirs,  executors  and  administrators;  provided,
however, that, except as provided in paragraph (b) hereof, the Corporation shall
indemnify  any  such  person  seeking   indemnification  in  connection  with  a
proceeding  (or part thereof)  initiated by such person only if such  proceeding
(or part thereof) was  authorized by the Board of Directors of the  Corporation.
The right to indemnification conferred in this Section shall be a contract right
and shall include the right to be paid by the Corporation  the expense  incurred
in defending any such proceeding in advance of its final disposition:  provided,
however,  that, if the Delaware General Corporation Law requires, the payment of
such  expenses  incurred  by a director  or officer in his or her  capacity as a
director or officer  (and not in any other  capacity in which  service was or is
rendered  by such  person  while  a  director  or  officer,  including,  without
limitation,  service  to an  employee  benefit  plan) in  advance  of the  final
disposition of a proceeding, shall be made only upon delivery to the corporation
of an  undertaking,  by or on behalf of such  director or officer,  to repay all
amounts so advanced if it shall  ultimately be determined  that such director or
officer is not entitled to be indemnified  under this Section or otherwise.  The
Corporation may, by action of its Board of Directors, provide indemnification to
employee  and  agents of the  Corporation  with the same scope and effect as the
foregoing indemnification of directors and officers."


Item 7.   Exemption from Registration Claimed.

         Not applicable.


Item 8.   Exhibits.

Item 9.   Undertakings.

The Registrant hereby undertakes:



<PAGE>



(a) (1) to file,  during  any period in which it offers or sells  securities,  a
post  effective  amendment  to  this  registration   statement  to  include  any
prospectus required by Section10(a) (3) of the Securities Act;

              (2) that, for the purpose of determining  any liability  under the
Securities  Act  of  1933,  to  treat  each  post-effective  amendment  as a new
registration  statement  of the  securities  offered,  and the  offering  of the
securities at that time to be the initial bona fide offering;

              (3) to  remove  from  registration  by means  of a  post-effective
amendment any of the securities that remain unsold at the end of the offering.

(b) Insofar as indemnification  for liabilities arising under the Securities Act
of 1933 (the "Act") may be permitted to  directors,  officers,  and  controlling
persons of the small business  issuer pursuant to the foregoing  provisions,  or
otherwise, the small business issuer 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 this
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
jurisdiction of such issue.

attorney's fees,  judgments,  fines, ERISA excise taxes or penalties and amounts
paid or to be paid in settlement) reasonable incurred or suffered by such person
in connection therewith and such  indemnification  shall continue as to a person
who has ceased to be a director,  officer,  employee or agent and shall inure to
