Item 1. Description of Business.

Introduction

     Discovery Investments, Inc. (the “Company”) was incorporated on September 10, 1996, under the laws of the State of Nevada to engage in any lawful corporate activity. The Company had been in the development stage until October 26, 1999. Prior to October 26, 1999, the Company could be defined as a “shell” company, whose sole purpose was to locate and consummate a merger or acquisition with a private entity, and the Company did not have any operations.

     On December 10, 1999, the Company entered into a Plan and Agreement of Reorganization with LLO-Gas, Inc. and John Castellucci. On December 20, 1999, there was a closing under the Plan and Agreement of Reorganization and LLO-Gas, Inc. became a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company and there was a change of control of the Company. During the period from inception until October 26, 1999, the Company sustained operational expenses without corresponding revenues, with a resulting net operating loss. On October 26, 1999, LLO-Gas acquired certain ARCO facilities and a so-called card lock facility and commenced operations. LLO-Gas was incorporated in July 1998 under the laws of the State of Delaware. Between December 20, 1999 and August 11, 2000, differences of opinion as to matters of fact and as to matters of law had arisen by and between certain of the shareholders of the Company, who were shareholders prior to the closing, and between the Company, John Castellucci and LLO-Gas, Inc.

     On June 7, 2000, LLO-Gas, Inc. filed a Voluntary Petition under Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code in the United States Bankruptcy Court, Central District of California, San Fernando Valley Division, case number SV 00-15398-AG. On December 1, 2000, the United States Bankruptcy Court converted the pending matter into a Chapter 7 liquidation. Said Chapter 7 effects LLO-Gas, Inc. and not the Company.

     On August 10, 2000, the Company entered into a Mutual Rescission Agreement and Mutual Release with John Castellucci which provided, inter alia, that the Company consents and agrees to rescind that certain Plan and Agreement of Reorganization with John Castellucci consenting and agreeing to the rescission. The parties mutually agreed to forego all rights and benefits provided to each other thereunder.

     On August 9, 2001, the Company filed a voluntary petition under Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code in the United States Bankruptcy Court, District of Nevada, Case Number BK-S-01-18156-RCJ. On September 24, 2001, the Bankruptcy Court confirmed the Disclosure Statement and Plan of Reorganization submitted by

4.


Table of Contents

the Company and the Company was thereafter released from Bankruptcy.

     On February 28, 2002, Donald Bell became the sole director and officer of the Company. See Item 9.

     Currently, the Company has no revenues or earnings from operations, with no significant assets or financial resources. Accordingly, the Company will in all likelihood continue to sustain operating expenses without corresponding revenues at least, until the consummation of a new business combination.

Plan of Operation

     The Company’s current purpose is to seek, investigate and, if such investigation warrants, acquire an interest in business opportunities presented to it by persons or firms who or which desire to seek the advantages of a company who has complied with the Securities Act of 1934, as amended (“the 1934 Act”)

     The Company may seek a business opportunity with entities related to or affiliates of Donald Bell which have recently commenced operations, or which wish to utilize the public marketplace in order to raise additional capital in order to expand into new products or markets, to develop a new product or service, or for other corporate purposes.

     The Company anticipates that the selection of a business opportunity in which to participate may be complex and extremely risky. Due to general economic conditions, rapid technological advances being made in some industries and shortages of available capital, Donald Bell believes that there are numerous firms seeking the benefits of an issuer who has complied with the 1934 Act. Such benefits may include facilitating or improving the terms on which additional equity financing may be sought and providing liquidity (subject to restrictions of applicable statutes), for all shareholders.

     It is anticipated that the Company will incur nominal expenses in the implementation of its business plan described herein. Because the Company has no capital with which to pay these anticipated expenses, present management of the Company will pay these charges with his personal funds, as interest free loans to the Company or as capital contributions. However, if loans, the only opportunity which management has to have these loans repaid will be from a prospective merger or acquisition candidate.

Acquisition of Opportunities

     In implementing a structure for a particular business acquisition, the Company may acquire stock or assets of an existing business. On the consummation of a transaction, it is possible that the present management and shareholders of the Company will no longer be in control of the Company. In addition, the Company’s director may, as part of the terms of the acquisition transaction, resign and be replaced by new directors without a vote of the Company’s shareholders.

     It is anticipated that any securities issued in any such reorganization would be issued in reliance upon exemption from registration under applicable federal and state securities laws.

     While the actual terms of a transaction to which the Company may be a party cannot be predicted, it may be expected that the parties to the business transaction will find it desirable to avoid the creation of a taxable event and thereby structure the acquisition in a so-called “tax-free” reorganization under Sections 368(a)(1) or 351 of the Internal Revenue Code (the “Code”). In order to obtain tax-free treatment under the Code, it may be necessary for the owners of the acquired business to own 80% or more of the voting stock of the surviving entity. In such event, the shareholders of the Company, would retain less than 20% of the issued and outstanding shares of the surviving entity, which would result in significant dilution in the equity of such shareholders.

     The Company will participate in a business opportunity only after the negotiation and execution of appropriate written agreements. Although the terms of such agreements cannot be predicted, generally such agreements will require some specific representations and warranties by all of the parties thereto, will specify certain events of default, will detail the terms of closing and the conditions which must be satisfied by each of the parties prior to and after such closing, will outline the manner of bearing costs, including costs associated with the Company’s attorneys and accountants, will set forth remedies on default and will include miscellaneous other terms.

     The Company will not acquire or merge with any entity which cannot provide independent audited financial statements within a reasonable period of time after closing of the proposed transaction. The Company is subject to all of the reporting requirements included in the 1934 Act. Included in these requirements is the affirmative duty of the Company to file independent audited financial statements as part of its Form 8-K to be filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission upon consummation of a merger or acquisition, as well as the Company’s audited financial statements included in its annual report on

6.

Form 10-KSB (or 10-K, as applicable).

Competition

     The Company will remain an insignificant participant among the firms which engage in the acquisition of business opportunities. There are many established venture capital and financial concerns which have significantly greater financial and personnel resources and technical expertise than the Company. In view of the Company’s combined extremely limited financial resources and limited management availability, the Company will continue to be at a significant competitive disadvantage compared to the Company’s competitors.

Investment Company Act of 1940

     Although the Company will be subject to regulation under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and the 1934 Act, management believes the Company will not be subject to regulation under the Investment Company Act of 1940 insofar as the Company will not be engaged in the business of investing or trading in securities. In the event the Company engages in business combinations which result in the Company holding passive investment interests in a number of entities, the Company could be subject to regulation under the Investment Company Act of 1940. In such event, the Company would be required to register as an investment company and could be expected to incur significant registration and compliance costs. The Company has obtained no formal determination from the Securities and Exchange Commission as to the status of the Company under the Investment Company Act of 1940 and, consequently, any violation of such Act would subject the Company to material adverse consequences.

Employees

     The Company has no full time employees.

     For the year ended December 31, 2001, none of the officers and directors devoted more than ten (10%) percent of his or her time to Company activities. The Company’s current President has agreed to allocate a portion of his time to the activities of the Company, without compensation.

Item 2. Description of Property.

     The Company has no properties.

     The Company presently occupies office space supplied by a shareholder of the Company at 6767 W. Tropicana Avenue, Suite 207, Las Vegas, Nevada 89103. This space is provided to the Company on a rent free basis, and it is anticipated that this arrangement will remain until such time as the Company

successfully consummates a merger or acquisition. Management believes that this arrangement will meet the Company’s needs for the foreseeable future.

Item 3. Legal Proceedings.

     There is no pending or threatened legal proceedings against the Company.

Item 4. Submission of Matter to Vote of Security Holders.

     There has been no matters submitted to the Company’s security holders.

Item 5. Market for Common Company Equity and Related Stockholder Matter.

     (a)  Market Price.

     On March 1, 2002, the ask for the common stock of the Company was $0.55 and the bid for the common stock of the Company was $.42. The last trade was on February 21, 2002 at $.40.

     The Securities and Exchange Commission adopted Rule 15g-9, which established the definition of a “penny stock,” for purposes relevant to the Company, as any equity security that has a market price of less than $5.00 per share or with an exercise price of less than $5.00 per share, subject to certain exceptions. For any transaction involving a penny stock, unless exempt, the rules require: (i) that a broker or dealer approve a person’s account for transactions in penny stocks; and (ii) the broker or dealer receive from the investor a written agreement to the transaction, setting forth the identity and quantity of the penny stock to be purchased. In order to approve a person’s account for transactions in penny stocks, the broker or dealer must (i) obtain financial information and investment experience and objectives of the person; and (ii) make a reasonable determination that the transactions in penny stocks are suitable for that person and that person has sufficient knowledge and experience in financial matters to be capable of evaluating the risks of transactions in penny stocks. The broker or dealer must also deliver, prior to any transaction in a penny stock, a disclosure schedule prepared by the Commission relating to the penny stock market, which, in highlight form, (i) sets forth the basis on which the broker or dealer made the suitability determination; and (ii) that the broker or dealer received a signed, written agreement from the investor prior to the transaction. Disclosure also has to be made about the risks of investing in penny stock in both public offering and in secondary trading, and about commissions payable to both the broker-dealer and the registered representative, current quotations for the securities and the rights and remedies available to an investor in cases of fraud in penny stock transactions. Finally, monthly statements have to be sent disclosing recent price information for the penny stock held in the account and information on the limited market in penny stocks.

     For the initial listing in the NASDAQ SmallCap market, a company must have net tangible assets of $4 million or market capitalization of $50 million or a net income (in the latest fiscal year or two of the last fiscal years) of $750,000, a public float of 1,000,000 shares with a market value of $5 million. The minimum bid price must be $4.00 and there must be 3 market makers. In addition, there must be 300 shareholders holding 100 shares or more, and the company must have an

Table of Contents

operating history of at least one year or a market capitalization of $50 million.

     For continued listing in the NASDAQ SmallCap market, a company must have net tangible assets of $2 million or market capitalization of $35 million or a net income (in the latest fiscal year or two of the last fiscal years) of $500,000, a public float of 500,000 shares with a market value of $1 million. The minimum bid price must be $1.00 and there must be 2 market makers. In addition, there must be 300 shareholders holding 100 shares or more.

     Management intends to strongly consider undertaking a transaction with any merger or acquisition candidate which will allow the Company’s securities to be traded without the aforesaid limitations. However, there can be no assurances that, upon a successful merger or acquisition, the Company will qualify its securities for listing on NASDAQ or some other national exchange, or be able to maintain the maintenance criteria necessary to insure listing.

     (b)  Holders.

     There are twenty two (22) holders of record of the Company’s Common Stock.

     On September 20, 1996, the Company issued 2,100,000, as adjusted for a forward stock split of its Common Shares, for cash. On November 29, 2001, the Company issued 99,881 shares pursuant to the Disclosure Statement and Plan of Reorganization. All of the issued and outstanding shares of the Company’s Common Stock were issued in accordance with the exemption from registration afforded by Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.

     As of the date hereof, except for the 99,881 shares issued on November 20, 2001, all of the issued and outstanding shares of the Company’s Common Stock held by non-affiliates are eligible for sale under Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, subject to certain limitations included in said Rule. In general, under Rule 144, a person (or persons whose shares are aggregated), who has satisfied a one year holding period, under certain circumstances, may sell within any three-month period a number of shares which does not exceed the greater of one percent of the then outstanding Common Stock or the average weekly trading volume during the four calendar weeks prior to such sale. Rule 144 also permits, under certain circumstances, the sale of shares without any quantity limitation by a person who has satisfied a two-year holding period and who is not, and has not been for the preceding three months, an affiliate of the Company.

10.


Table of Contents

     In summary, Rule 144 applies to affiliates (that is, control persons) and nonaffiliates when they resell restricted securities (those purchased from the issuer or an affiliate of the issuer in nonpublic transactions). Nonaffiliates reselling restricted securities, as well as affiliates selling restricted or nonrestricted securities, are not considered to be engaged in a distribution and, therefore, are not deemed to be underwriters as defined in Section 2(11), if six conditions are met:

        (1)    Current public information must be available about the issuer unless sales are limited to those made by nonaffiliates after two years.
 
        (2)    When restricted securities are sold, generally there must be a one-year holding period.
 
        (3)    When either restricted or nonrestricted securities are sold by an affiliate after one year, there are limitations on the amount of securities that may be sold; when restricted securities are sold by non-affiliates between the first and second years, there are identical limitations; after two years, there are no volume limitations for resales by non-affiliates.
 
        (4)    Except for sales of restricted securities made by nonaffiliates after two years, all sales must be made in brokers’ transactions as defined in Section 4(4) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or a transaction directly with a “market maker” as that term is defined in Section 3(a)(38) of the 1934 Act.
 
        (5)    Except for sales of restricted securities made by nonaffiliates after two years, a notice of proposed sale must be filed for all sales in excess of 500 shares or with an aggregate sales price in excess of $10,000.
 
        (6)    There must be a bona fide intention to sell within a reasonable time after the filing of the notice referred to in (5) above.

     (c)  Dividends.

     The Company has not paid any cash dividends to date and has no plans to do so in the immediate future.

11.


Table of Contents

Item 6. Management’s Discussion and Analysis or Plan of Operation

     The Company has no current business operations. The Company is dependent upon its officer and director to meet any de minimis costs which may occur.

     Donald Bell, the sole officer and director of the Company, has agreed to provide the necessary funds, without interest, for the Company to comply with the 1934 Act provided that he is an officer and director of the Company when the obligation is incurred. All advances are interest-free.

     In addition, since the Company has no revenues or earnings from operations, with no significant assets or financial resources, the Company will in all likelihood sustain operating expenses without corresponding revenues, at least until the consummation of a business combination. This may result in the Company incurring a net operating loss which will increase continuously until the Company can consummate a business combination with a profitable business opportunity. There is assurance that the Company can identify such a business opportunity and consummate such a business combination.

Independent Auditor’s Report

To the Board of Directors
Discovery Investments, Inc.
Las Vegas, Nevada

I have audited the accompanying balance sheet of Discovery Investments, Inc. (A Development Stage Company) as of December 31, 2001 and December 31, 2000 and the related statements of income, stockholders’ equity, and cash flows for the years then ended and the period September 10, 1996 (date of inception) through September 30, 2001. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. My responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on my audit.

I conducted my audit in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards. Those standards require that I plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. I believe that my audit provides a reasonable basis for my opinion.

In my opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Discovery Investments, Inc. (A Development Stage Company) as of December 31, 2001 and December 31, 2000 and the results of its operations and cash flows for the years then ended and the period September 10, 1996 (date of inception) through September 30, 2001, in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As more fully described in Note 2 to the financial statements, effective September 24, 2001, the Company completed its reorganization after seeking protection under Chapter 11 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code pursuant to a Reorganization Plan which was confirmed by the Bankruptcy Court on September 24, 2001. As discussed in Note 4 to the financial statements, the Company has no operations and has no established source of revenue. 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 4. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
September 30, 2001 and December 31, 2000

Note 1. Nature of Business and Significant Accounting Policies

Nature of business:

Discovery Investments, Inc. (“Company”) was organized September 10, 1996 under the laws of the State of Nevada. The Company currently has no operations and, in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standard (SFAS) No. 7, “Accounting and Reporting by Development Stage Enterprises,” is considered a development stage company.

On August 9, 2001 (“Petition Date”), the Company filed a voluntary petition for Chapter 11 protection pursuant to the United States Bankruptcy Code. As of that date, The United States Bankruptcy Court for the District of Nevada (“Bankruptcy Court”) assumed jurisdiction over the assets of the Company. On September 24, 2001, the Bankruptcy Court confirmed the Disclosure Statement and Plan of Reorganization (the “Plan”) submitted by the Debtors. On September 24, 2001 the Plan became effective.

A summary of the Company’s significant accounting policies is as follows:

Basis of Presentation

The Company implemented guidance provided by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants Statement of Position 90-7 “Financial Reporting By Entities in Reorganization Under the Bankruptcy Code” (“AICPA SOP 90-7”) as of September 30, 2001. Accordingly, the Company’s financial statements for the periods prior to September 30, 2001 are not comparable to financial statements presented on or subsequent to September 30, 2001.

Estimates

The preparation of 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 financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Cash

For the Statements of Cash Flows, all highly liquid investments with maturity of three months or less are considered to be cash equivalents. There were no cash equivalents as of December 31, 2001 and December 31, 2000 and 1999.

Income taxes

Income taxes are provided for using the liability method of accounting in accordance with SFAS No. 109 “Accounting for Income Taxes.” A deferred tax asset or liability is recorded for all temporary differences between financial and tax reporting. Temporary differences are the differences between the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and their tax basis. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance when, in the

opinion of management, it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are adjusted for the effect of changes in tax laws and rates on the date of enactment.

Reporting on costs for start-up activities

Statement of Position 98-5 (“SOP 98-5), “Reporting on the Costs of Start-Up Activities” which provides guidance on the financial reporting of start-up and organization costs, requires most costs of start-up activities and organization costs to be expensed as incurred. With the adoption of SOP 98-5, there has been little to no effect on the Company’s financial statements.

Year end

The Company originally selected March 31 for its fiscal year end. In 2000, the Company changed its fiscal year end to December 31.

Note 2. Restructuring Items

Pursuant to he Disclosure Statement and Plan of Reorganization becoming effective September 24, 2001, all general unsecured claims were discharged in exchange for cash payments totaling $50,000. An impaired interest holder-shareholder paid $30,858 for the Chapter 11 administrative claims. The remaining $19,142 was distributed to the Class One impaired creditors on a pro-rata basis, along with a pro-rata share of unregistered common stock, not to exceed 100,000 shares, of the Debtor.

The discharge of debt has been reflected in the accompanying December 31, 2001 financial statements. The Company’s post-reorganization balance sheet as of September 24, 2001 becomes the opening balance sheet for the reorganized Company, as reflected in the following table:

Note 4. Stockholders’ Equity

Common stock

The authorized common stock of the Company consists of 25,000,000 shares with par value of $0.001. On September 15, 1996, the Company authorized and issued 21,000 shares of its no par value common stock in consideration of $2,100 in cash.

On March 15, 1999, the State of Nevada approved the Company’s amended Articles of Incorporation, which increased its capitalization from 25,000 common shares to 25,000,000 common shares. The no par value was changed to $0.001 per share. Also, on March 15, 1999, the Company’s shareholders approved a forward split of its common stock at one hundred shares for one share of the existing shares. The number of common stock shares outstanding increased from 21,000 to 2,100,000. Prior period information has been restated to reflect the stock split.

The Company has not authorized any preferred stock.

Net loss per common share

Net loss per share is calculated in accordance with SFAS No. 128, “Earnings Per Share.” The weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during each period is used to compute basic loss per share. Diluted loss per share is computed using the weighted averaged number of shares and dilutive potential common shares outstanding. Dilutive potential common shares are additional common shares assumed to be exercised.

Basic net loss per common share is based on the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding of 2,100,000 during 2001, 2000, 1999, and since inception. As of September 30, 2001 and December 31, 2000 and 1999 and since inception, the Company had no dilutive potential common shares.

Note 5. Income Taxes

There is no provision for income taxes for the period ended December 31, 2001, due to the net loss and no state income tax in Nevada, the state of the Company’s domicile and operations. The Company’s total deferred tax asset as of December 31, 2001 is as follows:

         
Net operating loss carry forward
  $ 2,136  
Valuation allowance
  $ (2,136 )
 
   
 
Net deferred tax asset
  $ 0  

The net federal operating loss carry forward will expire in 2020. This carry forward may be limited upon the consummation of a business combination under IRC Section 381.

For financial reporting purposes, the Company reported an extraordinary gain in the amount of $1,984,489 resulting from the cancellation of indebtedness that occurred from the bankruptcy discharge on the effective date. Pursuant to Section 1087 of the Internal Revenue Code, this extraordinary gain is excluded from income taxation and certain tax attributes of the Company are eliminated or reduced, up to the amount of such income excluded from taxation. As a result, the Company’s net operating loss carryforwards were reduced by the $1,984,489

Note 6. Going Concern

The Company’s financial statements are prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles applicable to a going concern. This contemplates the realization of assets and the liquidation of liabilities in the normal course of business. Currently, the Company does not have significant cash of other material assets, nor does it have operations or a source of revenue sufficient to cover its operation costs and allow it to continue as a going concern. Until the Company has sufficient operations, the officers and directors have committed to advancing the operating costs of the company.

Note 7. Related Party Transactions

The Company neither owns nor leases any real or personal property. The resident agent of the corporation provides office services without charge. Such costs are immaterial to the financial statements and accordingly, have not been reflected therein. The officers and directors for the Company are involved in other business activities and may, in the future, become involved in other business opportunities. If a specific business opportunity becomes available, such persons may face a conflict in selecting between the Company and their other business interest. The Company has not formulated a policy for the resolution of such conflicts.

Note 8. Warrants and Options

There are no warrants or options outstanding to acquire any additional shares of common stock of the Company.
