WDJ FORSALEFORRENT.COM INC.

WHEREAS:

(A) WDJ Forsaleforrent.com Inc. filed a notice of intention (the "Notice of Intention") to trade under Section 91(b) of the regulations to The Securities Act (the "Act") with The Manitoba Securities Commission (the "Commission") on January 4, 2002 (the "Offering");

(B) The Notice of Intention reflected certain terms of an offering to be made by FSFR pursuant to Section 91(b) in Manitoba and similar regulations in British Columbia to certain of its investors all as disclosed within an Offering Memorandum dated January 4, 2002 (the "Offering Memorandum");

(C) Section 91(b)(ii) of the Regulations to the Act states that all sales related to the offering must be completed within a period of 180 days after the date of filing with the Commission of the Notice Intention. The period for offering the sale of shares to the public in Manitoba pursuant to that Notice of Intention expired July 4, 2002;

(D) The expiry period for this offer in British Columbia is October 1, 2002;

(E) FSFR has represented to the Commission that:

1. FSFR is a corporation incorporated under the laws of Canada on November 10, 1999 as WDJ Forsaleforrent.com Inc.

2. FSFR is not a reporting issuer in any province or territory of Canada. FSFR is not subject to the financial disclosure obligations set out in Part XII of the Act, nor is it subject to similar financial disclosure obligations in any other Canadian province.

3. FSFR currently has issued and outstanding 22,789,016 common voting shares, of which the principals own 20,008,000 as follows: William Redekopp: 5,000,000; Jason Redekopp: 5,000,000; and David Keam: 10,008,000.

4. Pursuant to the original Offering Memorandum, investors could purchase a minimum of 59,067 common voting shares at $0.75 each ($44,000).

5. In response to certain advice received by FSFR, the principals of FSFR contacted its investors by letter dated June 1, 2002, to offer them the right to acquire some of the principals’ shares in conjunction with the offering. Four existing shareholders had committed to invest an aggregate of $55,000, approximately, under the original terms of the Offering Memorandum. In response to the letter of June 1, 2002, FSFR will be able to raise an additional $85,000, and FSFR’s escrow agent has already received these additional funds.

6. Based on advice from legal counsel, FSFR proposes to complete the revised offering by a procedure involving use of a holding company to which one of the principals will transfer shares, with the holding company acting as the issuer for the new investors with the holding company subsequently being amalgamated with FSFR to produce the desired shareholdings.

7. FSFR intends to modify the terms disclosed in the Offering Memorandum as follows:

(a) revise the closing date offering to a date that is consistent with this Order;

(b) revise the offering such that, based on an investment of $10,000, the investor is entitled to receive such number of common voting shares in FSFR that would, upon certain corporate reorganizations involving a holding company, entitle the investor to a .6666% (per $10,000) holding of FSFR assuming an aggregate issuance of 30,000,000 shares in FSFR; and

(c) inform the investors of any material changes since the date of the original Offering Memorandum.

(F) FSFR needs sufficient time to incorporate a holding company and to roll a portion of the principals’ shares in FSFR into that holding company and to provide an amended Offering Memorandum to each investor of the offering; and

(G) In the opinion of the Commission it would not be prejudicial to the public interest to grant the Order requested;

IT IS ORDERED:

1.  THAT, pursuant to Section 20 of the Act, FSFR is exempted from Clause 91(b)(ii) of the Regulations to the Act with respect to the Offering subject to the following conditions:

(a)the Offering may continue until September 16, 2002; and

(b)this Order shall remain in effect until September 16, 2002.

2.  THAT the fee for this order is $350.00.
