per above, The Company will operate with two distinct divisions: The first being that of Basic Material Assets which will also include construction and the second division that of Pharmaceutical Development. The Pharmaceutical Division has worked with the prestigious University of Birmingham in the UK under the research headed by the esteemed "Doctor Gordon Skinner, PHD".
The Pharmaceutical Division will continually look for medical cures however, at this time has curtailed its research and will redirected its funds into the company's Basic Material Division.
The Basic Materials Division operates ""RiMart"" retail and wholesale stores. These stores provide tools and access to its building material and products. The company is now directing its attention to the economic recovery that is affecting building and construction projects worldwide. It is the Company's intention that these two distinct and separate divisions of Grupo International Inc. will separate and be spun-off from each other in the future.
Grupo International, Inc.
Introduction
Our Company, Grupo International has gone from a research company to an International Company, offering products and services from Pharmaceutical Research to building an international highway - or just picking up that specially needed tool to complete the job.

RiMart Stores
RiMart may be one of the fastest growing tool chain stores in Mexico- opening at least one new store a month and supplying to both the local retail markets as well as to large commercial users. The RiMart stores are typically small stores scattered throughout the city, with larger warehouse stores supplying their inventory and fulfilling their large orders directly. This combination of small stores and a "hub" warehouse concept has kept costs down and growth up. Another distinctive advantage is due to the Company's vertical integration of building materials and manufacturing facilities.
RiMart's Progress
RiMart currently owns and operates 12 retail stores. They carry and stock a variety of small hand and electric tools, electrical parts, PVC, and supply special orders for local builders and developers.
RiMart has recently started to grant local concessions to qualified individuals
who wish to operate the store as a business opportunity.
RiMart's Advantages
? Size: Small, but efficient stores that can offer the consumer a wide range of savings.
? Opportunity: Ease of an entry level business in cost and locations.
? Association: Grupo International can assist at every level of its business structure in its stores and concessions.

The Company's vaccine which was originally acquired under an assignment of a license agreement which covered patents held by The University of Birmingham, UK. The vaccine completed its pre-clinical trials and is prepared to begin its Phase I trial in the United Kingdom as soon as additional funding becomes available.
Grupo International believes that its Hiv-Vac division has developed a unique vaccine in that it is the only vaccine that uses a multi-protein approach which covers the whole spectrum of HIV virus proteins. The vaccine contains a wide representation of virus proteins in their natural configuration but does not contain virus particles.
The vaccine can be easily adapted to different virus strains and its effect is believed to have excellent potential for individual protection and on-going therapy.
In addition, the vaccine has the potential to be both a prophylactic and a therapeutic vaccine.

Grupo International will continue to pursue these opportunities and continue to grow through acquisition and investment .
