ITEM 1. DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS OVERVIEW We currently have three distinct divisions: (1) the Aerisys Division, (2) the PARIS Division and (3) the HBOA Division. The Aerisys Division offers branded, private communities for schools, corporations and large groups. The PARIS Division owns a 17.99% membership interest in PARIS Health Services, Ltd. ("PARIS Project"). The PARIS Project was formed to launch a new service for hospitals for routing procedure authorizations between hospitals and insurance providers. The HBOA Division provides an online community with business tools and fee-based services for small and home based businesses. AERISYS DIVISION Our Aerisys Division markets and sells the Aerisys Intelligent Community(TM) to schools. The Aerisys Intelligent Community(TM) is a a web-based software program and private, browser- based intranet that allows schools to collaborate with parents and faculty each day on classroom homework, assignments, critical dates, team priorities and school news in a private forum. The network is branded to a private logo and color scheme for each school and Aerisys hosts the community for the schools. Parents can receive private or group messages from teachers and administrators, and schools are be able to reduce paper costs. The program is hosted by Aerisys, 1 which saves the schools money each year. It is our understanding that most schools will charge the parent an annual technology fee for this service of approximately $120 per family per year. However, our fee will vary depending on the number of families and the term of the contract the school selects with Aerisys. We are presently anticipating fees between $89-$159 per family per school year. We believe that our Aerisys Intelligent Community(TM)for Schools provides a powerful tool at an affordable price at a time when schools are searching for new technology. Our surveys with schools have uncovered a definite trend toward implementing such systems, and our program is both affordable and powerful. With our solution, schools can enjoy the power of the program without any major purchases or burdens on their staff time. In fact, the time between a sales presentation, contract execution and delivery can be as short as two weeks, although most schools will implement before the start of a new school year, usually sometime between June and August. Sales and Marketing Our sales efforts are heavily concentrated during the period from January - June, in an effort to sign as many new schools as possible during the time when principals typically evaluate changes for the next school year. Presently, our marketing efforts are primarily targeting K-12 private and parochial schools because these schools have tuition payments that make our parent- based fee structure logical. Additionally, these schools typically are autonomous entities, able to make decisions and change technology without the review of a school board. Since the number of these non-public schools in the USA is very high, it may be likely that we will always focus on these schools as our target clients. Aerisys Intelligent Community for Schools is marketed through direct sales, supported by direct mail, telemarketing, advertising and trade shows. We feel an integral part of our success will come from the face-to-face selling method and personalized training of school staff. So although our product is a web-based service, a good part of our service is in the training and consultation activities that happen at the school facility. Our market area has been limited to South Florida in 2001, but will be expanded in 2002 to the rest of Florida and metropolitan Atlanta. This expansion comes in the form of additional sales representatives hired in both regions and an aggressive marketing campaign during the Spring and early Summer 2002. Between these two market areas, approximately 3,500 prospective clients exist. In the future as the corporate advertising climate improves from currently excessively conservative levels, we will re-assess the idea of offering the Internet Intelligence Fairs in metropolitan regions where our product is sold. This concept is the idea of teaming up with vendors who offer synergistic products for the K-12 school market for one-day fairs. The theme will be to offer training and fun sessions that teach parents about the power and dangers of the Internet, while at the same time establishing Aerisys as a dominant player in the school technology market. 2 Competition The market for providing private, branded intranets to schools is competitive. Our current and potential competitors include companies that are well established both in the technology marketplace and the school arena. Companies like Apple Computer with their Powerschool solution and eChalk are both excellent solutions. Additionally, a definite "competitor" of our product is an in-house solution that any school may decide to build or have built to suit their needs. We expect that it will be quite common for a company that offers or provides basic website development services to offer a school a customized solution that encompasses homework online and other similar features to the Aerisys Intelligent Community(TM) for Schools. We further expect that as the suppliers of other school products realize the market potential of school intranets, they may develop a solution to compete with ours. We expect that these current and future competitors will place increasing price and service pressures on our future price model. Current Business Activities In October 2001, Aerisys signed an agreement with a private school in Miami, Florida. The agreement is for services to be rendered between January 2002 and August 2002 and provides for a payment of $4,950. Further, the school in Hollywood Florida that was previously a "pilot" school signed a three-year agreement commencing August 2002. This agreement represents between $80,000 - $105,000 in income for Aerisys over the next three years, with cash flows as follows: $20,000 in August 2002; approximately $37,500 in August 2003; and approximately $40,375 in August 2004. The amounts will vary by the number of registered students at this school, but the existing contract secures the increasing fee for this school. We are very encouraged by the fact that schools, in general, are comfortable signing multiple-year contracts when we've proven our product and service quality. PARIS DIVISION We own a 17.99% limited partnership interest in PARIS Health Services, Ltd. ("PARIS Partnership"), an entity that will assist hospitals in obtaining the pre-authorization approvals that they need to obtain from insurance providers before they perform certain medical procedures. We refer to the procedure authorization routing interface system as the PARIS system. Existing Business Problem Hospitals frequently do not receive authorizations for medical procedures that require authorization from managed care organizations and/or other insurance organizations (collectively, the "insurers"). The hospitals fail to gain authorization for various reasons, 3 including (1) lack of time to enter physician orders into the hospital computer system, (2) lack of time to call the insurer before the mandatory 24-hour expiration period and (3) failure to correlate authorization response with procedure requests. Our research shows that an average 200 bed hospital spends $500,000 a year in costs associated with the authorization process and has approximately $2,000,000 a year in uncollected billing due to lack of authorization. Insurers require authorization requests both for pre-approval for payment of procedures and as a notification tool to manage the stay of their members. Also, insurers historically pay in an untimely manner. This has been an impediment to improved efficiency for hospital authorizations and payments in the past. However, current market conditions are providing an opportunity for our solution: the economic recession has reduced the portfolio value of managed care organizations, which are now declaring quarterly net losses, a greater desire to improve efficiency and the HIPAA compliance mandate by the U.S. government with a 2003 implementation target. Solution - PARIS PARIS is an outsourcing service that will assist the hospitals in obtaining the pre- approvals from the insurers. The PARIS network services will be connected via virtual private networks to the hospital computer system. The PARIS services will also link to the insurer's computer systems, and for those insurer's that don't have a direct data link with the hospital, PARIS will operate a 24-hour call center. As soon as the hospital computer system updates any patient information, PARIS will determine whether or not the insurer needs to be notified of that service based on profiles set up per the insurer's contract with the hospital. If required, an appropriate notification is transmitted, called in or faxed to the insurer as necessary. This process is tracked and recorded by PARIS, so that it can be reviewed both during and after the process. PARIS Ltd. expects to generate revenues by charging a fee for each authorization that take places. It is currently contemplated that there will be minor or no changes to the hospitals for the system to be deployed, and that the Paris Ltd. will absorb the cost related to the implementation. In return, PARIS Ltd. is seeking contracts from hospitals that will be for period of three years or more in duration. PARIS Ltd. would also like to generate revenues from processing fees from insurance companies. CURRENT STATUS OF PARIS LTD. We are completing beta testing with a hospital in South Florida and expect to have the testing completed in the next six months. We have had conversations, and are in various stages of negotiation with large hospitals (Blue Cross/Blue Shiled, Humana, etc.). OWNERSHIP INTEREST IN PARIS LTD. We own a 17.99% ownership interest in Paris Ltd. Our partners include Heathcare Financial Enterprises, Inc. ("HFE") and Lexsys Software Corporation. For the past ten years, 4 HFE has been one of the leading companies in the United States in the field of services pertaining to third party reimbursements to health care providers on a nationwide basis. For the past eight years, LexSys has developed and implemented revolutionary proprietary software. We had previously owned a 25% interest in PARIS, LLC, but our equity investment was restructured because a private trust (the "Trust") made a $900,000 investment in the PARIS project in January 2000. One of the conditions of the Trust's investment, was that the venture be restructured as an investment in a limited liability partnership. As a member of a limited partnership, we are entitled to receive 17.99% of any profits or losses of the partnership. However, our ability to receive profit distributions is limited to approximately 9% of the profits, until the Trust has received distributions equal to its initial capital contribution. Furthermore, the Trust also has certain preferences if there is liquidation or dissolution. As such, it is difficult to predict how and when we will begin receiving profit distributions under the PARIS Partnership. Competition Although PARIS believes that it is offering hospitals a unique service, other companies could begin providing a similar service because there are not many barriers to entry in this market. Many large consulting companies such as IBM, EDS, Oracle and other small private software consulting companies could offer similar services. Many of these companies have significantly greater financial, technical product development and market resources and greater name recognition. We expect that competition will be based on price, speed of service and quality. Additionally, PARIS expects that the MIS departments of hospitals and managed care companies may try to develop this product on their own. However, we do not think that many of our competitors will be willing to absorb all of the costs to implement and develop the virtual area networks for the hospitals. HBOA DIVISION Overview We have established and developed an interactive network for home based business owners. Our web site address is www.hboa.com. We intend this to be a premier Internet portal through which home based business owners obtain the products services and information necessary to start, expand and profitable run their businesses. During fiscal 2001, we did not expend significant resources or time on the HBOA Division, because we have been developing our Intelligent Community for Schools(TM) projects. As of March 31, 2002, the cost to become a member is $14.95 per month or $149 annually with a pre-paid membership. As of March 31, 2002, we had 126 paid members on our web site. Our members receive: 1. Access to all of our site resources. Health benefits, products and services, travel, shipping center, advocacy center, shopping mall, chat and web links. 5 2. Reference Center. A wealth of "how to" information on starting your business, structuring your business, developing your business and more. 3. Free monthly e-mail newsletter, which has articles, tips and more on how to run a small or home-based business. 4. Free Tax Assistance. Unlimited phone calls for qualified advice on personal and small business tax issues. 5. Long Distance Service for 4.9 cents per minute. 6. Internet access, for as low as $8.95 per month. Strategic Partnerships We have entered into co-branding and vendor agreements with a wide variety of nationally recognized companies to sell our products and services. These companies include Amazon.com, MCI and IBM. Our efforts to expand the products and services offered to our customers (members) is an integral element in the future development of the HBOA Division. Competition We face competition from a number of small business sites currently on the web.. Additionally, various association sites have been formed which generally promote such things as books, tapes, speaking engagements or selling business opportunities. We try to differentiate ourselves as a "single source" vertically integrated portal for home based business. Sales and Marketing Our target customers are persons who run home based business and persons involved with direct sales organizations, such as Amway, Nuskin and Tupperware to name a few. Direct sales organization, sometimes referred to as MLM (Multi Level Marketing) companies generally offer little in the way of benefits, support services or education to their members. We use a variety of media sources to generate interest in our HBOA web site. In the last year, we did not make significant expenditures to increase our client base. HISTORY We were incorporated in the state of Colorado on December 11, 1996. From our inception through December 28, 1999, we were involved in the business of acquiring, developing and operating oil and gas properties. On December 28, 1999, Philip Davis and John Lee, our founders and principal shareholders, sold 60% of our issued and outstanding common stock to HBOA.Com, Inc., a District of Columbia corporation ("HBOA-DC"). Pursuant to this stock sale, there was a change in our business and management team. We began to focus on HBOA's 6 business, which was related to the sale of products and services to the owners of home based businesses through its Internet web site. On May 31, 2000, HBOA-DC was merged with and into our wholly owned subsidiary, HBOA.Com, Inc., a Florida corporation ("HBOA-FL"). In June 2000, we began to develop our ASP business, in addition to HBOA's web site. On November 10, 2000, our shareholders approved our proposal to change our name from Mizar Energy Company to HBOA Holdings, Inc. and to change our state of incorporation from Colorado to Florida. In May 2001, we received a membership interest in PARIS Health Services, Ltd., which investment was restructured as an interest in a limited liability company in January 2002. In 2002, we plan on focusing most of our business efforts on our Aerisys Division and its Intelligent Community for Schools(TM). We will also devote significant business resources to developing the PARIS Project, so our interest in the PARIS partnership is maximized. EMPLOYEES As of March 27, 2002, we have 4 full-time employees, two of whom are in management, one in sales and one in technology and one in our administrative department. We would like to hire independent sales representatives to assist us in our marketing efforts with our Intelligent Communities.(TM) ITEM 2. DESCRIPTION OF PROPERTY We utilize approximately 560 square feet of office space at 5200 NW 33rd Avenue, Suite 215, Ft. Lauderdale, Florida. This office space is provided to HBOA on a rent-free basis by Dundas Systems, Inc., a company which is owned by Gary Verdier. Dundas Systems leases the office space from an unrelated third party. We believe that these facilities are in substantial compliance with environmental laws and regulations, and adequately covered by insurance. We also believe that the leased facility is not unique, and could be replaced, if necessary. ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS We are not a party to any material litigation presently pending nor, to the best knowledge of the Company, have any such proceedings been threatened. ITEM 4. SUBMISSION OF MATTERS TO A VOTE OF SECURITY HOLDERS. No matters were submitted during the fourth quarter of the calendar year covered by this report. 7 PART II ITEM 5. MARKET FOR COMMON EQUITY AND RELATED STOCKHOLDER MATTERS MARKET INFORMATION Our common stock began trading on the OTC Bulletin Board on October 5, 2000 under the symbol "MIZR". In November 2000, we changed our symbol to "HBOA". Prior to our listing on the OTC Bulletin Board in October 2000, our stock did not trade publicly. The following are high and low bid quotations on the OTC Bulletin Board for the quarterly periods shown, which we obtained from Nasdaq Data Products, Historical Data Service. Such prices represent quotes or prices between dealers in securities and do not include retail markups, markdowns or commissions and may not reprsent actual transactions. High Low Period Bid Bid ------ --- --- Fourth Quarter 2000 (Oct. - Dec. 31) $.94* $.75* First Quarter 2001 $.93* $.28* Second Quarter 2001 $.28 $.08 Third Quarter 2001 $.11 $.065 Fourth Quarter 2001 $.11 $.05 *These numbers have been adjusted to reflect our 2-for-1 stock split, effective as of February 19, 2001. HOLDERS As of March 31, 2002, we had 92 holders of record of our common stock. These numbers do not include an indeterminate number of shareholders whose shares may be held by brokers in street name. DIVIDEND POLICY We have never paid cash dividends on our common stock. Payment of dividends will be within the sole discretion of the Company's Board of Directors and will depend, among other factors, upon earnings, capital requirements and the operating and financial condition of the Company. At the present time, the Company's anticipated financial capital requirements are such that it intends to follow a policy of retaining earnings in order to finance the development of its business. 8 ITEM 6. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OR PLAN OF OPERATION OVERVIEW We currently have three distinct divisions: (1) the Aerisys Division, (2) the HBOA Division and (3) the PARIS Division. The Aerisys Division offers branded, private communities to schools. The HBOA Division provides an online community with business tools and fee-based services for small and home based businesses. The PARIS Division owns a 17.99% membership interest in PARIS Health Services, Ltd. ("PARIS Project"). The PARIS Project was formed to launch a new service for hospitals for routing procedure authorizations between hospitals and insurance providers Many of the changes in our results of operations, liquidity and capital resources are due to the merger of HBOA-DC with and into HBOA-FL on May 31, 2000 and the accounting treatment of the merger The merger of HBOA-DC into our company in May 2000 was treated as a capital transaction and a recapitalization of HBOA-DC. Our financial statements became those of HBOA-DC, with adjustments to reflect the changes in equity structure and receipt of assets. As a result of this accounting treatment, our historical financial statements from the previous periods have been restated to include the operations of HBOA-DC. Prior to the merger, our revenues and expenses were nominal. RESULTS OF OPERATION We are a development stage company and our revenues from operations have been nominal. Sales, net or returns, were $2,223 during the fiscal 2001 compared with revenues of $3,980 for fiscal 2000. These revenues came from the sale of HBOA memberships. Our revenues decreased in fiscal 2001 because the number of paying members in our web site community decreased. Furthermore, we shifted the focus of our business to developing private intranets, the Intelligent Communities(TM), in August 2000 and the PARIS Project in August 2001. During the period from July 7, 1998(date of inception) through December 31, 2001, sales, net of returns, were $15,304. Costs of sales were $6,690 during fiscal 2001 compared with $3,513 during fiscal 2000. During the period from July 7, 1998 (date of inception) through December 31, 2001, costs of sales were $14,247. 9 We had a gross loss of $4,467 during fiscal 2001 compared with a gross profit of $467 during fiscal 2000. Our gross loss is primarily the result of our failure to generate revenues and the expenses that we incurred to generate sales. During the period from inception, July 7, 1998, through December 31, 2001, our gross profit was $12,835. These profits came from the sale of HBOA memberships. Our operating expenses were $1,134,638 in fiscal 2001 compared with operating expenses of $2,642,259 in fiscal 2000. Our expenses for salaries, consulting and professional fees decreased significantly during this time period. Furthermore, we did not have to recognize a $139,225 loss on a purchase option, which we incurred in connection with our proposed acquisition of an Internet company in fiscal 2000. As a result of the foregoing, our net loss was $1,144,262during fiscal 2001 compared with $2,605,259 in fiscal 2000. During the period from July 7, 1998 (date of inception) through December 31, 2001, our net loss was $4,129,699. LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES As of December 31, 2001, we had cash on hand of $5,046. During the first quarter of 2002, our founder, Gary Verdier has placed approximately $10,000 - $15,000 in our company every two weeks. We expect that our founder will continue to provide us with necessary capital, until we obtain a funding source. As of December 31, 2001, Gary Verdier, our founder and Chairman, has advanced $272,000 to our company. We are presently exploring other options to raise additional capital for HBOA, in the form of debt or equity financing. In order to obtain additional financing, we are considering obtaining a loan or loans from our other shareholders, which may be secured by a lien on all of our assets or our intellectual property. At this time, we have not entered into any definitive financing agreements,. See "We Need Additional Capital" and "Proposed Financing from Shareholders secured by a lien on the Company's Assets and Intellectual Property" under "Risk Factors." Our capital requirements have been and will continue to be significant due to, among other things, our expenses to develop our ASP business and fullfill our obligations to the PARIS LLC. At the present time, we do not have any extensive capital commitments, other than our web hosting services fee in the amount of $17,940 per year. We do not plan on making any new purchases of plant or equipment and any hiring of additional employees during the next twelve month period. During fiscal 2001, we used $341,545 in operating activities. This consisted primarily of our net loss of $1,144,262 offset by compensation in exchange for stock, options and warrants in the amount of $400,74 and certain other cash sources. During the period from July 7, 1998(date of inception) through December 31, 2001, we have used $1,946,590 in operating activities. 10 During fiscal 2001, we used $243,290 to purchase certain investments and $24,00 to purchase certain intangible property. In the aggregate, we used $267,645 in investing activities. During the period from July 7, 1998 (date of inception) through December 31, 2001, we used $525,865 in investing activities. During fiscal 2001, we received $280,875 from financing activities, which consisted primarily of $272,000 from a loan payable. During the period from July 7, 1998 (date of inception) through December 31, 2001, we received $2,471,986 from financing activities, which includes approximately $2 million raised in a private offering in 2001. RISK FACTORS In evaluating our business, the following risk factors should be considered: WE NEED ADDITIONAL CAPITAL Our capital requirements have been and will continue to be significant due to, among other things, our expenses to develop our ASP business. As of December 31, 2001, we had cash on hand of $5,046. During the first quarter of 2002, our founder, Gary Verdier has placed approximately $10,000 - $15,000 in our company every two weeks. We expect that our founder will continue to provide us with necessary capital, until we obtain a funding source. As of December 31, 2001, Gary Verdier, our founder and Chairman, has advanced $272,000 to our company. We are currently exploring various forms of financing, including but not limited sales of additional debt or equity securities (or a combination thereof) in future public or private offerings or obtaining loans from third parties. However, there can be no assurance that any such financing will in fact be available to us when needed or upon terms acceptable to us. OUR METHODS OF GENERATING REVENUE ARE RELATIVELY NEW AND LARGELY UNTESTED AND WE PROBABLY WILL NOT GENERATE SIGNIFICANT REVENUES IN FISCAL 2002 During 2002, we expect to generate revenues from our Aerisys Division and our PARIS Division. However, at this time, it is difficult to predict the amount of revenues that will be generated by each division. Our Aerisys Division intends to generate revenues by selling the Aerisys Intelligent Community(TM) to private and parochial schools. It is our understanding these schools will charge the parents an annual technology fee of up to $120 per year. As of March 31, 2002, we had two contracts with private schools and have set up many sales meetings with other schools. However, there can be no assurances that we will obtain contracts to provide services at other schools or that we will generate revenues from the two school contracts. PARIS Ltd. has agreed to pay for the consulting and technology services that Marty Torsey, our Chief Technology Officer, provides to the PARIS partnership. In March __, 2002, we submitted an invoice to the PARIS partnership for $4,000 for Mr. Torsey's services in 11 January. However, we do not know when we will begin receiving profit distributions under the PARIS partnership. Our ability to receive profit distributions is limited to approximately 9% of the profits, until the Trust has received distributions equal to its initial capital contribution. Furthermore, the Trust has certain preferences if there is a liquidation or dissolution of the Paris partnership. Given the current economic climate, we do not plan on devoting significant resources to our HBOA division in fiscal 2002. WE HAVE A HISTORY OF OPERATING LOSSES, A GOING CONCERN QUALIFICATION AND EXPECT TO INCUR FUTURE LOSSES We have a net loss of $1,144,262 for the period from July 7, 1998 (date of inception) through December 31, 2001. The footnotes to our financial statements for the twelve months ended December 31, 2001 include an explanatory paragraph relating to the uncertainty of our ability to continue as a going concern, which may make it more difficult for us to raise additional capital. We do not anticipate that we will earn a profit, during the 2002 fiscal year, due, in part to start up costs associated with developing our Aerisys and PARIS divisions. Furthermore, there can be no assurances that our business strategy will enable us to achieve profitable operations in the future. THE MARKETS WE SERVE ARE HIGHLY COMPETITIVE AND MANY OF OUR COMPETITORS HAVE MUCH GREATER RESOURCES Aerisys Division The market for providing private, branded intranets to schools is competitive. Our current and potential competitors include companies that are well established both in the technology marketplace and the school arena. Companies like Apple Computer with their Powerschool solution and eChalk are both excellent solutions. Additionally, a definite "competitor" of our product is an in-house solution that any school may decide to build or have built to suit their needs. We expect that it will be quite common for a company that offers or provides basic website development services to offer a school a customized solution that encompasses homework online and other similar features to the Aerisys Intelligent Community(TM) for Schools. We further expect that as the suppliers of other school products realize the market potential of school intranets, they may develop a solution to compete with ours. We expect that these current and future competitors will face increasing price and service pressures on our future family-based price. Many of our competitors have substantially greater financial, technical and marketing resources, larger customer bases, longer operating histories, greater name recognition and more established relationships in the industry than we do. We cannot be sure that we will have the 12 resources or expertise to compete successfully in the future. Our competitors may be able to (1) more quickly develop and expand their network infrastructure and service offerings; (2) better adopt to new or emerging technologies and changing customer needs; (3) negotiate more favorable licensing agreements with software application vendors; (4) devote greater resources to the marketing and sale of their products and (5) adopt more aggressive pricing polices. Some of our competitors may also be able to provide customers with additional benefits at lower overall costs. We cannot be sure that we will be able to match cost reductions by our competitors. In addition, we believe that here is likely to be consolidation in our markets. Consolidation could increase price competition and other competitive forces in ways that materially adversely affect our business, results of operations and financial condition. Finally, there are not any substantial barriers to entry, and we have no patented technology that would bar competitors from our market. PARIS Division Although PARIS believes that it is offering hospitals a unique service, other companies could begin providing a similar service because there are not many barriers to entry in this market. Many large consulting companies such as IBM, EDS, Oracle and other small private software consulting companies could offer similar services. Many of these companies have significantly greater financial, technical product development and market resources and greater name recognition. We expect that competition will be based on price, speed of service and quality. Additionally, PARIS expects that the MIS departments of hospitals and managed care companies may try to develop this product on their own. However, we do not think that many of our competitors will be willing to absorb all of the costs to implement and develop the virtual area networks for the hospitals. HBOA Membership Community The number of web sites competing for the attention and spending of members, users and advertisers has increased and we expect it to continue to increase. Our primary competition at the present time is various associations' sites, which generally have been formed to promote such things as books/tapes, speaking engagements or selling business opportunities. These include the American Association of Home Based Businesses, American Home Business Association, Frank Tarkenton Small Business Network, Home Business Institute and the Home Office Association of America. None of the existing sites have the level of content anticipated to be provided by HBOA. Additionally, we face competition from a number of small businesses sites currently on the web or in various states of development. New entrants to this market include Staples, Office Depot and Onvia further validating the marketplace. While many of these competitors have significantly greater financial, technical and marketing resources than HBOA, none focuses on the home business owner. HBOA offers a "single source" vertically integrated portal for home based businesses which gives it a distinct competitive advantage. We believe providing a user friendly technically rich and product/service 13 complete site will attract and retain home business owners. We always face the risk, however, that competitors will introduce better services and resources. This could also affect our ability to keep existing customers or acquire new customers and could result in lower net revenue and/or profits. THE GROWTH IN DEMAND FOR OUR AERISYS INTELLIGENT COMMUNITIES(TM)IS HIGHLY UNCERTAIN As of March 31, 2002, we have two signed contracts with schools. We plan on pursuing an aggressive marketing and sale campaign during the upcoming months with private and parochial schools. However, it is difficult to predict if any additional schools will want to purchase our product. The market for providing private, branded intranets to K-12 schools is competitive. It is unclear if we will be able to distinguish ourselves from our competitors. OUR BUSINESS IS DIFFICULT TO EVALUATE BECAUSE WE HAVE A LIMITED AND VARIED OPERATING HISTORY We were incorporated under Colorado law on December 11, 1996 under the name of Mizar Energy Company. During our first three years of operations, we were engaged in the development, production and sale of oil and gas leases. On December 28, 1999, an affiliate of HBOA acquired a 60% ownership interest in Mizar and on May 31, 2000 merged its operations into a wholly owned subsidiary of Mizar. Since December 28, 1999, we have been primarily focused on HBOA's Internet operations. In June 2000, we began focusing on the application service provider business. In November 2000, we reincorporated in Florida and changed our name to HBOA Holdings, Inc. In May 2001, we received a membership interest in PARIS Health Services, Ltd., which investment was restructured as an interest in a limited liability company in January 2002. In fiscal 2002, we plan on focusing most of our business efforts on our Aerisys Division and our PARIS Division. Accordingly we have a varied and limited operating history upon which an evaluation of its prospects and future performance can be made. PROPOSED LOANS FROM SHAREHOLDERS SECURED BY A LIEN ON ALL OF OUR ASSETS OR OUR INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY We are presently exploring the possibility of receiving a loan or loans from our shareholders which are secured by a lien on some or all of our assets. As of December 31, 2001, Gary Verdier has advanced approximately $272,000 to our company. These loans were not secured by a lien on any of our assets. However, Mr. Verdier may not be willing to make any further loans to our company or he may demand that his previous loans be secured by some or all of our assets. Similarly, our other shareholders may not be willing to advance money to our company unless they receive a security interest in all of our assets or our intellectual property. As of December 31, 2001, we have not entered into any definitive financing agreements which grant a lien in our assets to any of our shareholders. However, if any of our shareholders receive a security interest in all of our assets and we default on our loan, our shareholders could foreclose on the pledged assets. Any foreclosure on pledged assets would have a material adverse effect on our business. 14 OUR HISTORICAL RESULTS MAY NOT BE INDICATIVE OF OUR FUTURE PERFORMANCE Our historical results of operations are not useful as a basis for predicting future operating results. The merger on May 31, 2000 of HBOA.Com, Inc., a District of Columbia corporation with and into our wholly owned subsidiary, HBOA.Com, Inc., a Florida corporation, was accounted for as a capital transaction and a recapitalization of HBOA-DC. As a result of this accounting treatment of the merger, our historical financial statements from prior periods have been restated to include the operations of HBOA-DC. Prior to the merger, our revenues and expenses were nominal. The majority of the changes in our results of operations, liquidity and capital resources are due to the merger of HBOA- DC with and into us on May 31, 2000 and the accounting treatment of the merger . WE FACE RISKS RELATED TO INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS. Our success depends on its internally developed technologies and other intellectual property. Despite our precautions, it may be possible for a third party to copy or otherwise obtain and use its intellectual property or trade secrets without authorization. In addition, it is possible that others may independently develop substantially equivalent intellectual property. If we do not effectively protect our intellectual property, our business could suffer. In the future, we may have to resort to litigation to enforce our intellectual property rights, to protect our trade secrets, or to determine the validity and scope of the proprietary rights of others. This type of litigation, regardless of its outcome, could result in substantial costs and diversion of management and technical resources. We may receive in the future notices of claims of infringement of other parties' proprietary rights. Infringement or other claims could be made against us in the future. Any claims, with or without merit, could be time-consuming, result in costly litigation and diversion of technical and management personnel, cause product delays or require us to develop non- infringing technology or enter into royalty or licensing agreements. Royalty or licensing agreements, if required, may not be available on acceptable terms or at all. If a successful claim of product infringement were made against us, it could have a material adverse effect on our business. THE SUCCESS OF OUR AERISYS INTELLIGENT COMMUNITIES(TM) DEPENDS ON THE ACCEPTANCE AND INCREASED USE OF INTERNET-BASED BUSINESS SOFTWARE SOLUTIONS AND WE CANNOT BE SURE THAT THIS WILL HAPPEN The success of our Aerisys Intelligent Community(TM) depends on the adoption of Internet- based business software solutions by schools. Our business could suffer dramatically if Internet- based solutions are not accepted or perceived to be effective. The growth of Internet-based business software solutions could also be limited by: - concerns over transaction security and user privacy; 15 - inadequate network infrastructure for the entir Internet; and - inconsistent performance of the Internet. We cannot be certain that this market will continue to grow or to grow at the rate we anticipated. DEPENDENCE ON KEY PERSONNEL We will be dependent upon the services of its executive officers, principal employees and consultants (particularly Gary Verdier, William Shope, Martin Torsey and Bonnie Novella,) for management of HBOA and implementation of our business strategy. The loss of services of Mr. Verdier, Mr. Shope, Mr. Torsey or Ms. Novella, could have a material adverse effect on our business operations, financial conditions and results of operations. If our operations expand, we will be dependent upon its ability to attract and retain additional qualified employees and consultants. There can be no assurances that the demands placed on our personnel by the growth of our business and the need for close monitoring of its operations and financial performance through appropriate and reliable administrative and accounting procedures and controls will be met, or that we will manage its growth successfully; the failure to do so could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. There is significant competition for qualified personnel, and there can be no assurances that we will be successful in recruiting, retaining or training the management personnel it requires. MANAGEMENT OF GROWTH During 2002, we expect to have significant growth (principally as a result of our HBOA and PARIS Division) and this growth will require us to make significant additions in personnel and increase it working capital requirements. Such growth will result in new and increased responsibilities for management personnel and has placed and continues to place a significant strain upon our management, operating and financial systems and other resources. There can not be any assurances that we will be able to attract or retain sufficient personnel to continue the planned expansion of its operations. Also crucial to our success in managing our growth will be our ability to achieve economies of scale, such as enhanced purchasing power, the ability to purchase a higher percentage of products on credit and the ability to obtain products, which we might not otherwise be able to obtain. There can be no assurance that we will be able to achieve such economies of scale and the failure to do so could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations. Although we have experienced significant sales growth, such growth may not be indicative of future sales growth. To manage the expansion of our operations, we must continuously evaluate the adequacy of its management structure and its existing systems and procedures, including, without limitation, its data processing, financial and internal control systems. There can be no assurance that management will adequately anticipate all of the changing demands that growth could impose on our systems, procedures, and structure. In addition, we will be required to react to changes in its industry, and there can be no assurance that it will be able to do so successfully or 16 at all. Any failure to adequately anticipate and respond to such changing demand may have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. OUR LIABILITY FOR INFORMATION RETRIEVED FROM THE WEB Because users of our web sites for our Intelligent Communities(TM) and our HBOA web site may distribute our content to others, third parties might use us for defamation, negligence, copyright or trademark infringement, personal injury or other matters. These types of claims have been brought, sometimes successfully, against online services in the past. Others could also sue us for the content that is accessible from our web site through links to other web sites or through content and materials that may be posed by members in chat rooms or bulletin boards. We also intend to offer e-mail services on our Intelligent Community(TM) and HBOA web sites, which may subject us to potential risks, such as liabilities or claims resulting from unsolicited e- mail (spamming), lost or misdirected messages, illegal or fraudulent use of e-mail or interruptions or delays in e-mail service. Also, we have entered and may enter into other agreements with commerce partners and sponsors that entitle us to receive a share of any revenue from the purchase of goods and services through direct links from our web sites to their web sites. Such arrangements may subject us to additional claims, including potential liabilities to consumers of such products and services, because we provide access to such products or services, even if we do not provide such products or services ourselves. While our agreements with these parties often provide that we will be indemnified against such liabilities, such indemnification, if available, may not be adequate. Our insurance may not adequately protect us against these types of claims. E-COMMERCE AND POTENTIAL PRODUCT LIABILITY Our HBOA Division plans on developing a range of products targeted specifically at home business owners. We also may foster relationships with manufacturers or companies to offer such products directly on our web site. Such a strategy involves numerous risks and uncertainties. We have very limited experience in the sale of products online and the development of relationships with manufacturers or suppliers of such products. Consumers may sue us if any of the products that we sell are defective, fail to perform properly or injure the user. Our agreements with manufacturers typically will contain provisions intended to limit our exposure to liability claims. These limitations, however, may not prevent all potential claims. Liability claims could require us to spend significant time and money in litigation or to pay significant damages. As a result, any such claims, whether or not successful, could seriously damage our reputation and our business. RELIABILITY OF WEB SITES AND TECHNOLOGY; RISK OF CAPACITY CONSTRAINTS The performance, reliability and availability of our web sites, systems and network infrastructure will be critical to our business and our ability to promote our business for our Intelligent Communities(TM) and HBOA web site . Our web sites are hosted by a server owned 17 and operated by a third party, limiting the extent to which we will have control over, or the ability to cure, technical problems, which may arise. Any systems problems that result in the unavailability of our web sites or interruption of information or access of information to members through the web sites would diminish their effectiveness as a means of promoting our business. If the volume of traffic on our web sites is greater than anticipated, we will be required to expand and upgrade our web sites and related infrastructure. Although we intend that our systems will be designed for scalability, the can be no assurance that the systems will be fully scalable. Any inability to add additional software and hardware to accommodate increased usage may cause unanticipated systems disruptions and degradation in levels of service to customers. There can be no assurance that we will be able to effectively upgrade and expand our web sites in a timely manner or to integrate smoothly any newly developed or purchased technology with its existing systems. Any inability to do so would have a material adverse effect on our business, prospects, financial condition and results of operations. SECURITY RISKS A party who is able to circumvent our security measures could misappropriate proprietary information or cause interruptions in our Internet operations. We may be required to expend significant capital and resources to protect against the threat of such security breaches or to alleviate problems caused by such breaches. Consumer concern over Internet security has been, and could continue to be, a barrier to commercial activities requiring consumers to send their credit card information over the Internet. Computer viruses, break-ins, or other security problems could lead to misappropriation of proprietary information and interruptions, delays, or cessation in service to our Aerisys Intelligent Community(TM) customers or HBOA customers. Moreover, until more comprehensive security technologies are developed, the security and privacy concerns of existing and potential customers may inhibit the growth of the Internet as a communication and merchandising medium. GOVERNMENTAL REGULATION AND LEGAL UNCERTAINTIES We are not currently subject to direct federal, state, or local regulation, and laws or regulations applicable to access to or commerce on the Internet, other than regulations applicable to businesses generally. Due to the increasing popularity and use of the Internet and other online services, however, it is possible that a number of laws and regulations may be adopted with respect to the Internet or other online services covering issues such as user privacy, "indecent" materials, freedom of expression, pricing, content and quality of products and services, taxation, advertising, intellectual property rights and information security. The adoption of any such laws or regulations might also decrease the rate of growth of Internet use, which in turn could decrease the demand for HBOA's products and services or increase the cost of doing business or in some other manner have a material adverse effect on HBOA's business, results of operations, and financial condition. In addition, applicability to the Internet of existing laws governing issues such as property ownership, copyrights and other intellectual property issues, taxation, libel, 18 obscenity, and personal privacy is uncertain. The vast majority of such laws were adopted prior to the advent of the Internet and related technologies and, as a result, do not contemplate or address the unique issues of the Internet and related technologies. HBOA does not believe that such regulations, which were adopted prior to the advent of the Internet, govern the operations of HBOA's business nor have any claims been filed by any state implying that HBOA is subject to such legislation. There can be no assurance, however, that a state will not attempt to impose these regulations upon HBOA in the future or that such imposition will not have a material adverse effect on HBOA's business, results of operations, and financial condition. Several states have also proposed legislation that would limit the uses of personal user information gathered online or require online services to establish privacy policies. The Federal Trade Commission has also initiated action against at least one online service regarding the manner in which personal information is collected from users and provided to third parties. Changes to existing laws or the passage of new laws intended to address these issues, including some recently proposed changes, could create uncertainty in the marketplace that could reduce demand for the services of HBOA of increase the cost of doing business as a result of litigation costs or increased service delivery costs, or could in some other manner have a material adverse effect on HBOA's business, results of operations, and financial condition. In addition, because HBOA's services are accessible worldwide, and HBOA facilitates sales of goods to users worldwide, other jurisdictions may claim that HBOA is required to qualify to do business as a foreign corporation in a particular state or foreign country. HBOA is qualified to do business in Florida, and failure by HBOA to qualify as a foreign corporation in a jurisdiction where it is required to do so could subject HBOA to taxes and penalties for the failure to quality and could result in the inability of HBOA to enforce contracts in such jurisdictions. Any such new legislation or regulation, or the application of laws or regulations from jurisdictions whose laws do not currently apply to HBOA's business, could have a material adverse effect on HBOA's business, results of operations, and financial condition. POTENTIAL LIABILITY FOR SALES AND OTHER TAXES HBOA does not currently collect sales or other similar taxes in respect of the delivery of its products into states other than California where HBOA collects sales taxes for sales of tangible products. New state tax regulations may subject HBOA to the assessment of sales and income taxes in additional states. Although the Internet Tax Freedom Act precludes for a period of three years the imposition of state and local taxes that discriminate against or single out the Internet, it does not impact currently existing taxes. Tax authorities in a number of states are currently reviewing the appropriate tax treatment of companies engaged in Internet retailing and are currently considering an agreement with certain of these companies regarding the assessment and collection of sales taxes. HBOA is not a party to any such discussions. RAPID TECHNOLOGICAL CHANGE The markets in which our Aerisys and PARIS Division compete are characterized by frequent new product introductions, rapidly changing technology, and the emergence of new 19 industry standards. The rapid development of new technologies increases the risk that current or new competitors will develop products or services that reduce the competitiveness and are superior to our products and services. The future success of our Aerisys and PARIS Divisions will depend to a substantial degree upon their ability to develop and introduce in a timely fashion new products and services and enhancements totheir existing products and services that meet changing customer requirements and emerging industry standards. The development of new, technologically advanced products and services is a complex and uncertain process requiring high levels of innovation, as well as the accurate anticipation of technological and market trends. There is a potential for product development delay due to the need to comply with new or modified standards. There can be no assurance that our Aerisys and PARIS Divisons will be able to identify, develop, market, support, or manage the transition to new or enhanced products or services successfully or on a timely basis, that new products or services will be responsible to technological changes or will gain market acceptance, or that these divisions will be able to respond effectively to announcements by competitors, technological changes, or emerging industry standards. Our business, results of operations, and financial condition would be materially and adversely affected if our Aerisys and PARIS Divisions were to be unsuccessful, or to incur significant delays in developing and introducing new products, services, or enhancements. ADDITIONAL SHARES ELIGIBLE FOR FUTURE SALE HBOA's Articles of Incorporation authorize the issuance of up to 25 million shares of Common Stock and 10 million shares of preferred stock. As of March 31, 2002, we had 21,725,000 shares of our common stock issued and outstanding. The issuance of additional shares of HBOA's common stock or preferred stock is solely within the discretion of HBOA's Board of Directors. The issuance of a substantial number of additional shares of common stock in connection with the further development of HBOA's business and such additional issuances may result in dilution to the purchasers in this Offering. NO DIVIDENDS We anticipate that earnings, if any, will be retained for the development of its business and will not be distributed to shareholders as cash dividends. The declaration and payment of cash dividends, if any, at some future time will depend upon our results of operations, financial condition, cash requirements, future prospects, limitations imposed by credit agreements or senior securities and any other factors deemed relevant by HBOA's Board of Directors. The declaration and payment of cash dividends, if at all, by HBOA will be at the discretion of the Board of Directors. INVESTMENT RISKS No representation can be made regarding the future operations or profitability or the amount of any future revenues, income or loss of HBOA. The success of HBOA will be subject to many factors beyond the control of HBOA, such as general economic conditions, competition, 20 and general conditions in the home based business market. Prospective investors should be aware that they could lose their entire investment in HBOA. Even if HBOA is successful in its operations, there can be no assurance that investors will receive any cash dividend or derive a profit or benefit from their investment. ABSENCE OF PUBLIC MARKET; RESTRICTIONS ON TRANSFERABILITY Our shares presently trade on the OTC Bulletin Board. Securities trading on the OTC Bulletin Board generally attract a smaller number of market makers and a less active public market and may be subject to significant volatility. Factors such as our ability to (i) generate revenues from our existing contracts and locate new customers, (ii) to raise additional capital and(iii) other risk factors listed in this Form 10-QSB and our Annual Report on Form 10-KSB could have a material effect on the price of our common stock. 21 ITEM 7.

COMPLIANCE WITH SECTION 16(A) OF THE SECURITIES EXCHANGE ACT OF 1934 Section 16(a) of the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934 requires officers, directors and persons who own more than ten percent of a registered class of a company's equity securities to file initial reports of beneficial ownership and to report changes in ownership of those securities with the Securities and Exchange Commission and the National Association of Securities Dealers. There are also required to furnish the Company with copies of all Section 16(a) forms they file. To the Company's knowledge, based solely on a review of the copies of Forms 3,4 and 5 furnished to the Company or written representations that no other transactions were required, the Company has determined that the pertinent officers, directors and principal shareholders have complied with all applicable Section 16(a) requirements during fiscal 2001. 23 ITEM 10.

AND SUBSIDIARIES (A DEVELOPMENT STAGE COMPANY) CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS DECEMBER 31, 2001 AND 2000 TABLE OF CONTENTS Page No. Independent Auditors' Report F-2 Consolidated Balance Sheets F-3 Consolidated Statements of Operations F-5 Consolidated Statements of Changes in Stockholders' Equity F-6 Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows F-12 Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements F-14 F-1 INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT ---------------------------- To the Board of Directors HBOA Holdings, Inc. and Subsidiaries Fort Lauderdale, Florida We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of HBOA Holdings, Inc. and Subsidiaries (a development stage company) (the "Company") as of December 31, 2001 and 2000, and the related consolidated statements of operations, changes in stockholders' equity, and cash flows for the years then ended and for the period from July 7, 1998 (inception) through December 31, 2000. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall consolidated financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion. In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of HBOA Holdings, Inc. and Subsidiaries (a development stage company) as of December 31, 2001 and 2000, and the consolidated results of its operations, and its cash flows for the years then ended and for the period from July 7, 1998 (inception) to December 31, 2000, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 14 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company has no established source of revenue, recurring losses from operations, cash used in operations and accumulated deficit. This raises substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Management's plan in regard to these matters is also described in Note 14. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

AND SUBSIDIARIES (A DEVELOPMENT STAGE COMPANY) CONSOLIDATED NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS DECEMBER 31, 2001 AND 2000 NOTE 1 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES Business Description -------------------- HBOA Holdings, Inc. (the Company), formerly known as Mizar Energy Company, was incorporated in the state of Colorado on December 11, 1996. On May 31, 2000, the Company acquired 100% of HBOA.Com, Inc. through a newly formed subsidiary whose name was changed to HBOA.Com, Inc. in a transaction accounted for as a recapitalization of HBOA.Com, Inc. (See Note 12). The Company is focusing on development of a premier Internet portal through which home based business owners, as well as commercial private label businesses, obtain the products, services, and information necessary to start, expand and profitably run their businesses. On December 28, 2000, the Company formed a new subsidiary, Aerisys, Inc., a Florida Corporation, to handle all commercial private business. The Company is considered to be in the development stage and the accompanying financial statements represent those of a development stage company. Activity during the development stage included organization of the Company, and implementation and revision of the business plan. Principles of Consolidation --------------------------- The consolidated financial statements of the Company include those accounts of HBOA Holdings, Inc., a development stage company, and its wholly owned subsidiaries, HBOA.Com, Inc. and Aerisys, Inc. All significant intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in the consolidation. Cash and Cash Equivalents ------------------------- For purposes of the statement of cash flows, the Company treats all short-term investments with maturities of three months or less at the date of purchase to be cash equivalents. Use of Estimates ---------------- The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Reclassification ---------------- Certain reclassifications were made to the 2000 financial statements in order for the presentation to conform to the 2001 financial statement presentation. Revenue Recognition ------------------- Revenues of HBOA.Com, Inc. are recognized at the time the services are rendered to customers. Services are rendered when the Company's representatives receive the customers' requests and complete the customers' orders. F-14 HBOA HOLDINGS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES (A DEVELOPMENT STAGE COMPANY) CONSOLIDATED NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS DECEMBER 31, 2001 AND 2000 NOTE 1 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES - CONTINUED Property and Equipment ---------------------- Property and equipment are stated at cost. Depreciation of depreciable assets is computed using the straight-line method of depreciation over the estimated useful lives of the assets. The estimated useful life is 5-10 years. Investments ----------- The Company accounts for investments in non-marketable equity interests, including interests in limited partnerships, in accordance with Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 18 (APB 18) THE EQUITY METHOD OF ACCOUNTING FOR INVESTMENTS IN COMMON STOCK and related interpretations. Under APB 18, investments in corporate joint ventures and other common stock of less than 20% are generally accounted for using the equity method. Under the cost method, investments are recorded and reported at original cost until they are partially or entirely disposed of or the original cost value has been impaired. Under the equity method, the investment is recorded at original cost and periodically increased (decreased) by the investor's proportionate share of earnings (losses) of the investee and decreased by all dividends received from the investor by the investee. Software Development Costs -------------------------- In accordance with EITF Issue No. 00.2, the Company accounts for its Internet website design in accordance with Statement of Position No. 98-1 ACCOUNTING FOR THE COST OF COMPUTER SOFTWARE DEVELOPED OR OBTAINED FOR INTERNET USE. (SOP 98-1). SOP 98-1 requires the expensing of all costs of both the preliminary project stage, and the training and application maintenance stage, and the capitalization of all internal or external direct costs incurred during the application development stage. Amortization ------------ Amortization of trademarks and Internet web site is determined utilizing the straight-line method based generally on the estimated useful lives of the intangibles as follows: Trademarks 15 years Internet Website 3 years Long Lived Assets ----------------- The Company continually evaluates the carrying value of property and equipment, goodwill and other intangible assets to determine whether there are any impairment losses. If indicators of impairment are present in intangible assets used in operations, and future cash flows are not expected to be sufficient to recover the assets' carrying amount, an impairment loss would be charged to expense in the period identified. F-15 HBOA HOLDINGS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES (A DEVELOPMENT STAGE COMPANY) CONSOLIDATED NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS DECEMBER 31, 2001 AND 2000 NOTE 1 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES - CONTINUED Advertising Costs ----------------- Advertising and marketing costs are expensed as incurred. During the years ended December 31, 2001 and 2000, advertising cost expenses totaled $9,542 and $44,391, respectively. Stock Options ------------- The Company elected to account for stock options issued to employees in accordance with Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25 (APB Opinion No. 25) ACCOUNTING FOR STOCK ISSUED TO EMPLOYEES and related interpretations, which established financial accounting and reporting for compensation cost of stock issued to employees through non-variable plans, variable plans, and non-compensatory plans, and accounts for stock options and warrants issued to non-employees in accordance with SFAS 123, ACCOUNTING FOR STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION, which established a fair value method of accounting for stock compensation plans with employees and others. Accounting Pronouncements ------------------------- In June 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of Accounting Standards No. 141, BUSINESS COMBINATIONS (SFAS No. 141), which establishes financial accounting and reporting for business combinations and supercedes APB Opinion No. 16, BUSINESS COMBINATIONS, and FASB Statement No. 38 ACCOUNTING FOR PREACQUISITION CONTINGENCIES OF PURCHASED ENTERPRISES. All business combinations in the scope of this statement are to be accounted for using the Purchase Method. SFAS No. 141 is applicable for fiscal years beginning after June 30, 2001. Accounting Standards No. 142 GOODWILL AND OTHER INTANGIBLE ASSETS (SAFS No. 142) addresses financial accounting and reporting for acquired goodwill and other intangible assets and supersedes APB Opinion No. 17. This statement addresses how goodwill and intangible assets other than those acquired in a business combination should be accounted for after they have been initially recognized on the financial statements. SFAS No. 142 is applicable for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2001. Statement No. 144 ACCOUNTING FOR THE IMPAIRMENT OR DISPOSAL OF LONG-LIVED ASSETS supercedes Statement No. 121 ACCOUNTING FOR THE IMPAIRMENT OF LONG-LIVED ASSETS AND FOR LONG-LIVED ASSETS TO BE DISPOSED OF ("SFAS 121"). Though it retains the basic requirements of SFAS 121 regarding when and how to measure an impairment loss, SFAS 144 provides additional implementation guidance. SFAS 144 excludes goodwill and intangibles not being amortized among other exclusions. SFAS 144 also supersedes the provisions of APB 30, REPORTING THE RESULTS OF OPERATIONS, pertaining to discontinued operations. Separate reporting of a discontinued operation is still required, but SFAS 144 expands the presentation to include a component of an entity, rather than strictly a business segment as defined in SFAS 131, DISCLOSURES ABOUT SEGMENTS OF AN ENTERPRISE AND RELATED INFORMATION. SFAS 144 also eliminates the current exemption to consolidation when control over a subsidiary is likely to be temporary. This statement is effective for all fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2001. The Company believes that the future implementation of SFAS 144 will not have a material effect on the Company's financial position, results of operations or liquidity. F-16 HBOA HOLDINGS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES (A DEVELOPMENT STAGE COMPANY) CONSOLIDATED NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS DECEMBER 31, 2001 AND 2000 NOTE 1 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES - CONTINUED Concentration of Risk --------------------- Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to credit risk include cash on deposit with one financial institution amounting to $5,046 at December 31, 2001. Financial institutions insure depositors for up to $100,000 through the U.S. Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation. Basic Earnings (Loss) per Share ------------------------------- Basic earnings (loss) per share for each year is computed by dividing income (loss) for the year by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the year. Diluted earnings (loss) per share include the effects of common stock equivalents to the extent they are dilutive. Basic weighted average number of shares outstanding is as follows: 2001 2000 ------------- ------------- Basic weighted average number of shares outstanding 21,647,055 18,585,980 In connection with the stock option and warrants, no common stock equivalent at December 31, 2001 or 2000 was used, since the effect was antidilutive to compute dilutive earnings per share.
