PART I
INFORMATION REQUIRED IN THE SECTION 10(a) PROSPECTUS
Item 1. Plan Information
GENERAL INFORMATION
The Company
The Company has its principal executive offices at 20700 Ventura Blvd. Suite
227, Woodland Hills, CA 91364, where its telephone number is (818) 227-9494.
Purposes
The Company is also issuing shares of its common stocks to certain non-employee
directors, advisors and consultants for their past services to the Company under
the Company's Non-Employee Directors, Advisors and Consultants Retainer Stock
Plan for 2003 (the "Plan").
Common Stock
The Board of Directors has authorized the issuance of up to 660,000 shares of
Common Stock to the Consultants and upon effectiveness of this Registration
Statement.
The Consultants
The Consultants have agreed to provide their expertise and advice to the Company
for the purposes set forth in the Plan.
No Restrictions on Transfer
The Consultants will become the record and beneficial owners of the shares of
Common Stock upon issuance and delivery and are entitled to all of the rights of
ownership, including the right to vote any shares awarded and to receive
ordinary cash dividends on the Common Stock.
Tax Treatment to the Consultants
The Common Stock is not qualified under Section 401(a) of the Internal Revenue
Code. The Consultants, therefore, will be required for federal income tax
purposes to recognize ordinary income during the taxable year in which the first
of the following events occur: (a) the shares become freely transferable, or (b)
the shares cease to be subject to a substantial risk of forfeiture. Accordingly,
absent a specific contractual provision to the contrary, the Consultants will
receive compensation taxable at ordinary rates equal to the fair market value of
the shares on the date of receipt since there will be no substantial risk of
forfeiture or other restrictions on transfer. The Consultants are urged to
consult their own tax advisors on this matter. Further, if any recipient is an
"affiliate", Section 16(b) of the Exchange Act is applicable and will affect the
issue of taxation.
Tax Treatment to the Company
The amount of income recognized by any recipient hereunder in accordance with
the foregoing discussion will be an expense deductible by the Company for
federal income tax purposes in the taxable year of the Company during which the
recipient recognizes income.
Restrictions on Resale
In the event that an affiliate of the Company acquires shares of Common Stock
hereunder, the affiliate will be subject to Section 16(b) of the Exchange Act.
Further, in the event that any affiliate acquiring shares hereunder sold or
sells any shares of Common Stock in the six months preceding or following the
receipt of shares hereunder, any so called "profit," as computed under Section
16(b) of the Exchange Act, would be required to be disgorged from the recipient
to the Company. Services rendered have been recognized as valid consideration
for the "purchase" of shares in connection with the "profit" computation under
Section 16(b) of the Exchange Act. The Company has agreed that for the purpose
of any "profit" computation under 16(b), the price paid for the Company's common
stock issued hereunder to affiliates is equal to the value of services rendered.
Shares of the Company's Common Stock acquired hereunder by persons other than
affiliates are not subject to Section 16(b) of the Exchange Act.
DOCUMENTS INCORPORATED BY REFERENCE
AND
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
The Company hereby incorporates by reference (1) its Form 10-KSB for the year
ended December 31, 2002, filed pursuant to the Exchange Act; (2) any and all
Quarterly Reports and Current Reports on Form 10-Q (or 10-QSB or 8-K) filed
under the Securities Exchange Act subsequent to the filing of the Company's
Annual Report on Form 10-K (or 10-KSB) for the fiscal year ended December 31,
2002, as well as all other reports filed under Section 13 of the Exchange Act,
and (iii) its annual report, if any, to shareholders delivered pursuant to Rule
14a-3 of the Exchange Act. In addition, all further documents filed by the
Company pursuant to Section 13, 14, or 15(d) of the Exchange Act prior to
termination of this Offering are deemed to be incorporated by reference into
this Prospectus and to be a part hereof from the date of the filing. All
documents which when together constitute this Prospectus, will be sent or given
to participants by the Registrant as specified by Rule 428(b)(1) of the
Securities Act.
Item 2. Registrant Information and Employee Plan Annual Information
A copy of any document or part thereof incorporated by reference in this
Registration Statement but not delivered with this Prospectus or any document
required to be delivered pursuant to Rule 428(b) under the Securities Act will
be furnished without charge upon written or oral request. Requests should be
addressed to: Micro Bio-Medical Waste Systems, Inc., 20700 Ventura Blvd. Suite
227, Woodland Hills CA 91364, (818) 227-9494.
Legal Opinion and Experts
Other than as set forth below, no named expert or counsel was hired on a
contingent basis, will receive a direct or indirect interest in the small
business issuer, or was a promoter, underwriter, voting trustee, director,
officer or employee of the Registrant.
The financial statements of 20/20 Networks, Inc. incorporated by reference in
this Prospectus for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2002 have been audited by
Malone & Bailey, PLLC, certified public accountants, as set forth in their
report incorporated herein by reference, and are incorporated herein in reliance
upon such report given upon the authority of said firm as experts in auditing
and accounting.
Indemnification of Officers and Directors
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of
1933 may be permitted to directors, officers, or persons controlling the
Company, the Company has been informed that in the opinion of the 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 payment by registrant of expenses incurred
or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of registrant in the
successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such
director, officer or controlling person on connection with the securities being
registered, registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel that matter
has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of competent
jurisdiction the question of whether such indemnification is against public
policy as expressed in the Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of
such issue.

14 and 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, prior to the

Act.
Item 4. Description of Securities

Section 12 of the Exchange Act.
Item 5. Interests of Named Experts and Counsel
Ms. Zaman owns shares of the Company's common stock but is not being issued any
of the shares which are being registered hereunder.
Item 6. Indemnification of Directors and Officers
The Company shall indemnify to the fullest extent permitted by, and in the
manner permissible under the laws of the State of Nevada, any person made, or
threatened to be made, a party to an action or proceeding, whether criminal,
civil, administrative or investigative, by reason of the fact that he is or was
a director or officer of the Company, or served any other enterprise as
director, officer or employee at the request of the Company. The Board of
Directors, in its discretion, shall have the power on behalf of the Company to
indemnify any person, other than a director or officer, made a party to any
action, suit or proceeding by reason of the fact that he/she is or was an
employee of the Company.
Pursuant to the Company's bylaws, the Company shall have the right to indemnify,
to purchase indemnity insurance for, and to pay and advance expenses to,
Directors, Officers and other persons who are eligible for, or entitled to, such
indemnification, payments or advances, in accordance with and subject to the
provisions of Nevada Corporation Law and any amendments thereto, to the extent
such indemnification, payments or advances are either expressly required by such
provisions or are expressly authorized by the Board of Directors within the
scope of such provisions. The right of the Company to indemnify such persons
shall include, but not be limited to, the authority of the Company to enter into
written agreements for indemnification with such persons.
Subject to the provisions of Nevada Revised Statutes and any amendments thereto,
a Director of the Corporation shall not be liable to the Corporation or its
shareholders for monetary damages for an act or omission in the Director's
capacity as a Director, except that this provision does not eliminate or limit
the liability of a Director to the extent the Director is found liable for:
1) a breach of the Director's duty of loyalty to the Corporation or its
shareholders;
2) an act or omission not in good faith that constitutes a breach of duty of the
Director to the Corporation or an act or omission that involves intentional
misconduct or a knowing violation of the law;
3) A transaction from which the Director received an improper benefit, whether
or not the benefit resulted from an action taken within the scope of the
Director's office; or
4) an act or omission for which the liability of a Director is expressly
provided by an applicable statute.

Item 9. Undertakings
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities
Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of
the registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions 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 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 Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of
such issue.
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:

Securities Act of 1933;

amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a
fundamental change in the information set forth in the Registration Statement;
(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, paragraphs (i) and (ii) shall not apply if
the information required to be included in a post-effective amendment by those
paragraphs are incorporated by reference from periodic reports filed by the
registrant small business issuer under the Exchange Act.
(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 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.
(4) to deliver or cause to be delivered with the prospectus, to each person to
whom the prospectus is sent or given, the latest annual report to security
holders that is incorporated by reference in the prospectus and furnished
pursuant to and meeting the requirements of Rule 14a-3 or 14e-3 under the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934; and where interim financial information
required to be presented by Article 3 of Regulation S-X is not set forth in the
prospectus, to deliver, or cause to be delivered, to each person to whom the
prospectus is sent or given, the latest quarterly report that is specifically
incorporated by reference in the prospectus to provide such interim financial
information.
Registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of determining any liability
under the Securities Act of 1933, each filing of the Registrant's annual report
pursuant to Section 13(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (and, where
applicable, each filing of an employee benefit's plan 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 relating 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.
