DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS General Pacific Alliance Corporation (the "Company") is a Delaware corporation which is currently inactive. The Company was previously engaged in the business of distributing television programming. On June 23, 1995, the Company filed for protection under Chapter 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code (Case No. BK. No. SV 95-14737 KL). On May 28, 1997 (the "Confirmation Date"), the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Central District of California Confirmed the Company's Modified Plan of Reorganization (the "Plan") and First Amended Disclosure Statement (the "Disclosure Statement"). The Effective Date of the Plan was June 8, 1998. Although the Company's Chapter 11 Plan of Reorganization has been confirmed by the Bankruptcy Court, the Company continues to operate under the jurisdiction of the Court. The Company's current business plan calls for it to locate and acquire an operating company. The Company filed no Form 10-KSB's or Forms 10-QSB for the 1995, 1996, 1997 fiscal years until December 22, 1998 when it filed its December 31, 1997 Form 10-KSB. The information contained in this December 31, 1996 Form 10-KSB has in certain matters, including financial statement matters, been superceded by the information contained in the December 31, 1997 Form 10-KSB heretofore filed. Information about shares outstanding and the Company's managment has been brought current to the date of filing. History The Company was organized on April 22, 1986 under the laws of the State of Utah under the name of Kaiser Research, Inc. On December 2, 1994, the Company changed its domicile from the State of Utah to the State of Delaware through a reincorporation merger. In order to effect the reincorporation merger, the Company formed a wholly-owned subsidiary under Delaware law under the name of PACSYND, Inc. After the change of the Company's domicile, it acquired a privately held corporation ("Private PSI") in a merger transaction, and in connection therewith, the Company's name was changed to Pacific Syndication, Inc. After the acquisition of Private PSI in December 1994, and prior to its filing of a Petition under Chapter 11, the Company was engaged in the business of transmitting television programming to television stations and others via satellite or land deliveries on behalf of production companies, syndicators and other distributors of television programming. Although the Private PSI was not the survivor of the Merger, and did not exist after the Merger, pursuant to the accounting requirements of the Securities and Exchange Commission the Merger was treated as a "reverse merger" and, solely for accounting purposes, Private PSI was deemed to be the survivor. Private PSI was formed under the laws of the State of Delaware in November 1991. Private PSI was formed to engage in the business of providing a variety of television industry related services to its clients. Such services included, but were not limited to, video tape duplication, 3 standards conversion and delivery of television programming by way of conventional carriers (such as UPS, Airborne and Federal Express) and by satellite or fiber optic transmission. Private PSI provided its clients (primarily television producers, programmers and syndicators) with several related but different services, including distribution of syndicated programming to television stations, program mastering and standards conversion, infomercial customization and delivery, master tape and film storage, library distribution services and video integration and delivery services. Private PSI developed its own tape tracking and vault library management system and a system for infomercial customization and voice-over integration. From its inception, Private PSI was undercapitalized. It funded its initial operations through the factoring of its accounts receivable. The Company was unable to commence operations in the television programming services business and ultimately, substantially all of its assets were sold and it discontinued its operations. Chapter 11 Plan of Reorganization On June 23, 1995, the Company filed a Petition under Chapter 11 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code. As of December 1995, the Company had sold most of its assets, reduced its debt and terminated its operations. By that date, there was no trading market in the Company's securities. In 1996, Troika Capital, Inc. ("Troika"), a Utah corporation, agreed to assist the Company in developing a Plan of Reorganization which would provide the Company, its shareholders and creditors with at least a possibility of recouping all or some of their investment in the Company or the debts owed to them by the Company. Troika is a privately-owned Utah corporation which has been involved in various company formations, mergers and financings. Mark A. Scharmann, the President of Troika, and now the President of the Company, and his affiliates, were shareholders of the Company and creditors of the Company at the time the Company commenced its bankruptcy proceeding. Mr. Scharmann was a founder of the Company in 1986 and was an original shareholder of the Company. At the time the Company acquired Private PSI, he resigned as an officer and director of the Company but remained a shareholder and later became a creditor of the Company. Many of the investors in the Company are friends and acquaintances of Mr. Scharmann. The Company believed that if it were to liquidate, there would be a total loss to creditors and shareholders. Because of his own equity and debt investment in the Company, and his relationship with other shareholders and creditors of the Company, Mr. Scharmann agreed, through Troika, to develop a business plan for the Company and to attempt to assist the Company in carrying out such plan. The Plan of Reorganization developed for the Company by Troika was essentially as follows: 1. Eliminate all non-tax liabilities of the Company through the conversion of debt into equity. 4 2. Replace the current officers and directors of the Company with new management. The new management includes the following: Mark Scharmann, Dan Price and David Knudson. 3. File all required Securities and Exchange Commission reports which may be necessary to bring the Debtor current in its filing requirements under Section 15(d) of the 1934 Act. File all SEC reports which become due in the future. 4. File any tax returns which are in arrears and file all required tax returns and reports which become due in the future. 5. Use existing cash of the Company to pay quarterly tax payments and for working capital. 6. Prepare and bring current, the financial statements of the Company 7. Attempt to raise additional cash to be used to fund quarterly tax payments and for working capital. 8. Locate a private-company which is seeking to become a public company by merging with the Company. 9. Assist the Company in completing any merger which is located and which the Board of Directors deems appropriate. 10. Assist the post-merged company with shareholder relations, financial public relations and with attempts to interest a broker-dealer in developing a public market for the Company's common stock so that the Company's shareholders (including creditors whose' debt was converted into shares of the Company's common stock) may ultimately have a opportunity to liquidate their shares for value in market or in privately negotiated transactions. The Plan and Disclosure Statement was confirmed by the Bankruptcy Court on May 28, 1997. The Effective Date of the Plan was June 8, 1997. The Company continues to file monthly "Debtor in Possession Interim Statements" and "Debtor in Possession Operating Reports" with the the Office of the United States Trustee. Post Confirmation Date Activities Since the Confirmation of the Plan of Reorganization the following have occurred: 1. Pre-Confirmation Date non-tax debt in the amount of approximately $1,458,000 was converted into 1,458,005 shares of the Company common stock. 5 2. The Company completed its audited financial statements for the years ended December 31, 1995, 1996 and 1997. 3. Tax liabilities to the Internal Revenue Service of approximately $269,093 had been reduced to $137,717 as September 30, 1998. 4. The Company effected a 1-for-6 reverse split of its issued an outstanding common stock in order to establish a more desirable capital structure for potential merger partners. 5. The Company changed its name to Pacific Alliance Corporation. 6. The Company obtained the preliminary agreement of a registered-broker to make a market in the Company's common stock. 7. The Company filed an application for approval of secondary trading in its common stock with the Division of Securities of the State of Utah. An Order Granting such application was issued by the Utah Division of Securities. 8. The Company prepared and filed this Form 10-KSB and a Form 10-KSB for the year ended December 31, 1997. Business Plan The Company's current business plan is to serve as a vehicle for the acquisition of, or the merger or consolidation with another company (a "Target Business"). The Company intends to utilize its limited current assets, equity securities, debt securities, borrowings or a combination thereof in effecting a Business Combination with a Target Business which the Company believes has significant growth potential. The Company's efforts in identifying a prospective Target Business are expected to emphasize businesses primarily located in the United States; however, the Company reserves the right to acquire a Target Business located primarily elsewhere. While the Company may, under certain circumstances, seek to effect Business Combinations with more than one Target Business, as a result of its limited resources the Company will, in all likelihood, have the ability to effect only a single Business Combination. The Company may effect a Business Combination with a Target Business which may be financially unstable or in its early stages of development or growth. To the extent the Company effects a Business Combination with a financially unstable company or an entity in its early stage of development or growth (including entities without established records of revenue or income), the Company will become subject to numerous risks inherent in the business and operations of financially unstable and early stage or potential emerging growth companies. In addition, to the extent that the Company effects a Business Combination with an entity in an industry 6 characterized by a high level of risk, the Company will become subject to the currently unascertainable risks of that industry. An extremely high level of risk frequently characterizes certain industries which experience rapid growth. Although management will endeavor to evaluate the risks inherent in a particular industry or Target Business, there can be no assurance that the Company will properly ascertain or assess all risks. Probable Lack of Business Diversification. As a result of the limited resources of the Company, the Company, in all likelihood, will have the ability to effect only a single Business Combination. Accordingly, the prospects for the Company's success will be entirely dependent upon the future performance of a single business. Unlike certain entities that have the resources to consummate several Business Combinations or entities operating in multiple industries or multiple segments of a single industry, it is highly likely that the Company will not have the resources to diversify its operations or benefit from the possible spreading of risks or offsetting of losses. The Company's probable lack of diversification may subject the Company to numerous economic, competitive and regulatory developments, any or all of which may have a material adverse impact upon the particular industry in which the Company may operate subsequent to consummation of a Business Combination. The prospects for the Company's success may become dependent upon the development or market acceptance of a single or limited number of products, processes or services. Accordingly, notwithstanding the possibility of capital investment in and management assistance to the Target Business by the Company, there can be no assurance that the Target Business will prove to be commercially viable. No Independent Appraisal of Potential Acquisition Candidates. The Company does not anticipate that it will obtain an independent appraisal or valuation of a Target Business. Thus, stockholders of the Company will need to rely primarily upon management to evaluate a prospective Business Combination. However, a Business Combination will not be consummated unless it is approved by the stockholders of the Company Limited Ability to Evaluate Management of a Target Business. The role of the present management of the Company, following a Business Combination, cannot be stated with any certainty. Although the Company intends to scrutinize closely the management of a prospective Target Business in connection with its evaluation of the desirability of effecting a Business Combination with such Target Business, there can be no assurance that the Company's assessment of such management will prove to be correct. While it is possible that certain of the Company's directors or its executive officers will remain associated in some capacities with the Company following consummation of a Business Combination, it is unlikely that any of them will devote a substantial portion of their time to the affairs of the Company subsequent thereto. Moreover, there can be no assurance that such personnel will have significant experience or knowledge relating to the operations of the particular Target Business. The Company also may seek to recruit additional personnel to supplement the incumbent management of the Target Business. There can be no assurance that the Company will have the ability to recruit additional personnel or that such additional personnel will have the requisite skills, knowledge or experience necessary or desirable to enhance the incumbent management. In addition, there can be no assurance that the future 7 management of the Company will have the necessary skills, qualifications or abilities to manage a public company intending to embark on a program of business development. Selection of a Target Business and Structuring of a Business Combination. Management of the Company will have substantial flexibility in identifying and selecting a prospective Target Business within the specified businesses. In evaluating a prospective Target Business, management will consider, among other factors, the following: (i) costs associated with effecting the Business Combination; (ii) equity interest in and opportunity for control of the Target Business; (iii) growth potential of the Target Business; (iv) experience and skill of management and availability of additional personnel of the Target Business; (v) capital requirements of the Target Business; (vi) competitive position of the Target Business; (vii) stage of development of the Target Business; (viii) degree of current or potential market acceptance of the Target Business; (ix) proprietary features and degree of intellectual property or other protection of the Target Business; (x) the financial statements of the Target Business; and (xi) the regulatory environment in which the Target Business operates. The foregoing criteria are not intended to be exhaustive and any evaluation relating to the merits of a particular Target Business will be based, to the extent relevant, on the above factors as well as other considerations deemed relevant by management in connection with effecting a Business Combination consistent with the Company's business objectives. In connection with its evaluation of a prospective Target Business, management anticipates that it will conduct a due diligence review which will encompass, among other things, meeting with incumbent management and inspection of facilities, as well as a review of financial, legal and other information which will be made available to the Company. The time and costs required to select and evaluate a Target Business (including conducting a due diligence review) and to structure and consummate the Business Combination (including negotiating relevant agreements and preparing requisite documents for filing pursuant to applicable securities laws and state "blue sky" and corporation laws) cannot presently be ascertained with any degree of certainty. The Company's current executive officers and directors intend to devote only a small portion of their time to the affairs of the Company and, accordingly, consummation of a Business Combination may require a greater period of time than if the Company's management devoted their full time to the Company's affairs. However, each officer and director of the Company will devote such time as they deem reasonably necessary to carry out the business and affairs of the Company, including the evaluation of potential Target Businesses and the negotiation of a Business Combination and, as a result, the amount of time devoted to the business and affairs of the Company may vary significantly depending upon, among other things, whether the Company has identified a Target Business or is engaged in active negotiation of a Business Combination. Any costs incurred in connection with the identification and evaluation of a prospective Target Business with which a Business Combination is not ultimately consummated will result in a loss to the Company and reduce the amount of capital available to otherwise complete a Business Combination or for the resulting entity to utilize. 8 The Company anticipates that various prospective Target Businesses will be brought to its attention from various non-affiliated sources, including securities broker-dealers, investment bankers, venture capitalists, bankers, other members of the financial community and affiliated sources, including, possibly, the Company's executive officer, directors and their affiliates. While the Company has not yet ascertained how, if at all, it will advertise and promote itself, it may elect to publish advertisements in financial or trade publications seeking potential business acquisitions. While the Company does not presently anticipate engaging the services of professional firms that specialize in finding business acquisitions on any formal basis (other than the independent investment banker), the Company may engage such firms in the future, in which event the Company may pay a finder's fee or other compensation. As a general rule, Federal and state tax laws and regulations have a significant impact upon the structuring of business combinations. The Company will evaluate the possible tax consequences of any prospective Business Combination and will endeavor to structure a Business Combination so as to achieve the most favorable tax treatment to the Company, the Target Business and their respective stockholders. There can be no assurance that the Internal Revenue Service or relevant state tax authorities will ultimately assent to the Company's tax treatment of a particular consummated Business Combination. To the extent the Internal Revenue Service or any relevant state tax authorities ultimately prevail in recharacterizing the tax treatment of a Business Combination, there may be adverse tax consequences to the Company, the Target Business and their respective stockholders. Tax considerations as well as other relevant factors will be evaluated in determining the precise structure of a particular Business Combination, which could be effected through various forms of a merger, consolidation or stock or asset acquisition. There currently are no limitations on the Company's ability to borrow funds to effect a Business Combination. However, the Company's limited resources and lack of operating history may make it difficult to borrow funds. The amount and nature of any borrowings by the Company will depend on numerous considerations, including the Company's capital requirements, potential lenders' evaluation of the Company's ability to meet debt service on borrowings and the then prevailing conditions in the financial markets, as well as general economic conditions. The Company does not have any arrangements with any bank or financial institution to secure additional financing and there can be no assurance that such arrangements if required or otherwise sought, would be available on terms commercially acceptable or otherwise in the best interests of the Company. The inability of the Company to borrow funds required to effect or facilitate a Business Combination, or to provide funds for an additional infusion of capital into a Target Business, may have a material adverse effect on the Company's financial condition and future prospects, including the ability to effect a Business Combination. To the extent that debt financing ultimately proves to be available, any borrowings may subject the Company to various risks traditionally associated with indebtedness, including the risks of interest rate fluctuations and insufficiency of cash flow to pay principal and interest. Furthermore, a Target Business may have already incurred debt financing and, therefore, all the risks inherent thereto. 9 Competition The Company expects to encounter intense competition from other entities having business objectives similar to that of the Company. Many of these entities are well established and have extensive experience in connection with identifying and effecting business combinations directly or through affiliates. Many of these competitors possess greater financial, technical, human and other resources than the Company and there can be no assurance that the Company will have the ability to compete successfully. The Company's financial resources will be limited in comparison to those of many of its competitors. Further, such competitors will generally not be required to seek the prior approval of their own stockholders, which may enable them to close a Business Combination more quickly than the Company. This inherent competitive limitation may compel the Company to select certain less attractive Business Combination prospects. There can be no assurance that such prospects will permit the Company to satisfy its stated business objectives. Uncertainty of Competitive Environment of Target Business In the event that the Company succeeds in effecting a Business Combination, the Company will, in all likelihood, become subject to intense competition from competitors of the Target Business. In particular, certain industries which experience rapid growth frequently attract an increasingly large number of competitors including competitors with increasingly greater financial, marketing, technical, human and other resources than the initial competitors in the industry. The degree of competition characterizing the industry of any prospective Target Business cannot presently be ascertained. There can be no assurance that, subsequent to a Business Combination, the Company will have the resources to compete effectively, especially to the extent that the Target Business is in a high-growth industry. Certain Securities Laws Considerations Under the Federal securities laws, public companies must furnish stockholders certain information about significant acquisitions, which information may require audited financial statements for an acquired company with respect to one or more fiscal years, depending upon the relative size of the acquisition. Consequently, the Company will only be able to effect a Business Combination with a prospective Target Business that has available audited financial statements or has financial statements which can be audited. Shareholder Approval The Company will not effect any merger unless it first obtains approval from its shareholders. In connection with obtaining shareholder approval of a proposed merger, the Company will distribute a Proxy, Notice of Meeting of Stockholders and Proxy Statement which contains information about the proposed acquisition transaction. Such information will likely include audited financial statements and other financial information about the acquisition target which meets the requirements of Form 8-K as promulgated under the Securities Exchange of 1934, as amended, resumes of potential new management, description of potential risk factors which shareholders 10 should consider in connection with their voting on the proposed acquisition and a description of the business operations of the acquisition target. Troika and its affiliate will vote all of their shares of the Company's common stock for or against any merger proposal in the same ratio which the shares owned by other shareholders are voted. This will permit other shareholders to be able to effectively determine whether the Company acquires any particular Operating Company. The merger will be effected only if a majority of the other shareholders attending the meeting of shareholders in person and/or by proxy, vote in favor of such proposed merger. The shares of Troika and its affiliates will be included for purposes of determining whether a quorum of shareholders is present at the meeting. Employees As of the date of this Prospectus, the Company has no full time employees. ITEM 2. PROPERTIES The Company's offices are located at 1661 Lakeview Circle, Ogden, UT 84403. The Company, pursuant to an oral agreement, utilizes an office at the residence of Mark A. Scharmann, a stockholder of the Company and the Company's President. Until the acquisition of a Target Business, the Company will pay Mr. Scharmann $ 500 per month for rent, office and secretarial services. ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS Except for the continued jurisdiction of the U.S. Bankruptcy Court, and the matter described below, the Company is not party to any legal actions as of the date of this Form 10-KSB. In 1995, the Company filed a lawsuit against Donald Palmer alleging breach of contract and other claims. The case was filed in Los Angeles County, California. The Company sought damages in the approximate amount of $1,000,000. The defendant filed a counter claim against the Company for breach of contract, for past due rent and for other damages. As of December31, 1996, past due rent claimed by the defendant was approximately $150,000. The defendant also seeks damages in the amount of $75,000 pursuant to a stock purchase agreement. The Company is unable to predict the outcome of this litigation. The Company has assigned its position in this matter to another entity. The Company does not believe this litigation will have any material impact on its future operations or financial position. ITEM 4. SUBMISSION OF MATTERS TO A VOTE OF SECURITY HOLDERS No matters were submitted to the Company's shareholders for a vote during the last quarter of the year ended December 31, 1996. 11 PART II ITEM 5. MARKET FOR THE REGISTRANT'S COMMON STOCK AND RELATED SECURITY HOLDER MATTERS There is no active market for the Company's common stock. The Company's common stock is sporadically traded on a workout basis in the over-the-counter market. Shares Issued in Unregistered Transactions Shares Issued Prior to Confirmation Date Immediately prior to the confirmation of the Company's Plan of Reorganization by the Bankruptcy Court on May 28, 1997, there were a total of 12,594,422 shares of the Company's common stock issued and outstanding. The Plan of Reorganization, called for a 1-for-6 reverse split of the issued and outstanding shares which reduced the 12,594,422 shares to 2,099,125 shares. Shares Issued to Troika Pursuant to the Plan of Reorganization, 5,000,000 shares of the Company's common stock, calculated after the reverse stock split, were issued to Troika Capital Investment. The shares issued to Troika were issued pursuant to Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1993, as amended (the "Securities Act"). Shares Issued to Creditors A total 1,458,005 shares of the Company's common stock (calculated after the 1-for-6 reverse stock split) were issued to creditors pursuant to the Plan of Reorganization. In exchange for every $1.00 of Allowed Unsecured Claims (as defined in the Plan of Reorganization) a creditor was issued one share of common stock, one Class A Warrant and One Class B Warrant. Each Class A Warrant entitles the holder to purchase one share of the Company's common stock at $2.50 per share for a period of three years commencing on the Effective Date of the Plan. Each Class B Warrant entitles the holder to purchase one share of the Company's common stock at 5.00 per share for a period of five years commencing on the Effective Date of the Plan. The Effective Date of the Plan was June 8, 1997. The 1,458,005 shares and the Class A and Class B Warrants issued to claim holders, were issued under Section 1145 of the United States Bankruptcy Code (the "Code"). Section 1145 provides that the securities registration requirements of federal, state and local laws do not apply to the offer or sale of securities issued by a debtor (or its successor) if (i) the offer or sale occurs under a plan of reorganization and (ii) the securities are transferred in exchange (or principally in exchange) for a claim against or interest in the debtor. Accordingly, under Section 1145 of the Code, the issuance of common stock in exchange for a Claim against the Company was exempt from the registration requirements of Section 5 of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "1933 Act") and from the registration requirements of any state securities laws. Approximately 86 creditors were issued shares in exchange for claims against the Company. 12 Resales or Transfers of Plan Securities. Any person who is not an "underwriter" under Section 1145 of the Code or a "dealer" under the 1933 Act and who transfers shares received under the Plan ("Plan Securities") need not comply with the registration requirements of the 1933 Act or of any state securities laws. The term "underwriter", as used in Section 1145, includes four categories of persons, which are referred to in this Disclosure Statement as "Controlling Persons", "Accumulators", "Distributors" and " Syndicators". "Dealers" and the four types of underwriters are discussed below. a. Controlling Persons. "Controlling Persons" are persons who, after the Effective Date, have the power, whether direct or indirect and whether formal or informal, to control the management and policies of the reorganized debtor. Whether a person has such power depends on a number of factors, including the person's equity in the reorganized debtor relative to other equity holders, and whether the person, acting alone or in concert with others, has a contractual or other relationship giving that person power over management policies and decisions. In order to transfer the Plan Securities without registration, a Controlling Person would be required to comply with the restrictions set forth in SEC Rule 144, other than the holding period requirement set forth in that Rule. The restrictions of Rule 144 are complicated. In general, in order for the resale of Plan Securities by a Controlling Person to be permissible under Rule 144, the Controlling Person must not sell during any three-month period, more than one percent of the Company's common stock (or, if greater, the average weekly report volume of trading in such securities). b. Accumulators and Distributors. "Accumulators" are persons who purchase a Claim against or Interest in the Company with a view to distribution of any Plan Securities to be received under the Plan in exchange for such Claim or Interest. "Distributors" are persons who offer to sell Plan Securities for the holders of those securities. In a 1986 SEC No- Action Letter (Manville Corp.), the SEC staff took the position that resales by Accumulators and Distributors of securities distributed under a plan are exempt from the registration requirements of the 1933 Act if made in "ordinary trading transactions". The SEC staff took the position that a transaction is an ordinary trading transaction if it is made on an exchange or in the over-the-counter market at a time when the issuer is a reporting company under the 1934 Act and does not involve any of the following factors: (i) concerted action by recipients of Plan Securities in connection with the sale of such securities, concerted action by distributors on behalf of one or more such recipients in connection with such sales, or both; (ii) informational documents concerning the offering of the securities prepared or used to assist in the resale of such securities other than this Disclosure Statement and any supplements hereto and documents filed with the SEC by the issuer pursuant to the 1934 Act; or 13 (iii) special compensation to brokers and dealers in connection with the sale of such securities designed as a special incentive to resell such securities, other than compensation that would be paid pursuant to arm's length negotiations between a seller and a broker or dealer, each acting unilaterally, and not greater than the compensation that would be paid for a routine similar-sized sale of a similar issue. c. Syndicators. "Syndicators" are persons who offer to buy Plan Securities from the holders with a view to distribution, under an agreement made in connection with the Plan, with consummation of the Plan or with the offer or sale of securities under the Plan. d. Dealers. "Dealers" are persons who engage either for all or part of their time, directly or indirectly, as agent, broker, or principal, in the business of offering, buying, selling, or otherwise dealing or trading in securities. Section 4(3) of the 1933 Act exempts transactions in the Plan Securities by dealers taking place more than 40 days after the Effective Date. Within the 40-day period after the Effective Date, transactions by dealers who are stockbrokers are exempt from the 1933 Act pursuant to Section 1145 (a) (4) of the Code, as long as the stockbrokers deliver a copy of this Disclosure Statement (and periodic supplements hereto, if any, as ordered by the Court) at or before the time of delivery of Plan Securities to their customers. This requirement specifically applies to trading and other aftermarket transactions in such securities. In this regard, however, in the 1986 SEC No-Action Letter (Manville Corp.), the staff of the SEC took the position that it would not recommend action if stockbrokers did not comply with the Disclosure Statement delivery requirements of Section 1145 (a) (4) as long as the issuer of the securities was a reporting person under the 1934 Act and was current and timely in its reporting obligations. Shares Issued Subsequent to Confirmation Date As part of the Plan, the Company issued 5,000,000 shares to Troika Capital for $25,000. Subsequent to the Confirmation Date, the Company issued its securities in non-registered transactions pursuant to the exemption provided by Section 4(2) of the Securities Act. The Company did not pay a commission or any finders fees in connection with such transactions. The securities issued in such transactions were as follows: Number of Issued To Shares Date Consideration - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Harold Spector 16,000 5/28/98 Consulting services valued at $80 Workout Specialists, 200,000 6/29/98 Consulting services valued at $1,000 Inc. William M. Hynes, II 80,078 9/30/98 These shares were issued to Mr. Hynes as payment in full for $80,077.57 in IRS tax credits transferred to the Company by Mr. Hynes. Total: 296,078 14 Holders As of November 30, 1998, there were 8,853,208 shares of common stock outstanding and approximately 152 stockholders of record of common stock. Dividends The Company has not paid any cash dividends to date and does not anticipate or contemplate paying dividends in the foreseeable future. It is the present intention of management to utilize all available funds for the development of the Company's business. ITEM 6. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATION The Company has had no operations during the last three years. During this period, the Company has been involved in a Chapter 11 Proceeding under the Unites States Bankruptcy Code. In May 1997, the Company's Plan or Reorganization was confirmed by the U.S. Bankruptcy Court. The Company intends to attempt to commence operations in an active business by acquiring or merging with an operating company. No potential merger target has been identified as of this date. The Plan of Operation of the Company is further described in Item 1 of this Form 10-KSB. Liquidity and Capital Resources Presently, the Company's assets consist solely of a minimal amount of cash. As of December 31, 1996, the Company had total assets of $35,290, of which $35,167 was attributed to accounts receivable and $123 to cash. Therefore, the Company had minimal usable cash as of December 31, 1996. Currently, the Company is dependent upon loans and advances from its management and affiliates to fund its expenses pending the completion of an merger or acquisition. As of December31, 1996, the Company had total liabilities of $1,838,702 of which $380,697 were tax liabilities. 15 The Company intends to use such cash to pay for various filing fees and professional fees relating to its reporting obligations and to fund the costs which may arise from seeking new business opportunities. It is likely that the Company will be required to raise additional capital in order to attract and potential acquisition partner but there can be no assurance that the Company will be able to raise any additional capital. It is also likely that any future acquisition will be made through the issuance of shares of the Company's common stock which will result in the dilution of the percentage ownership of the current shareholders. The auditors' report on the Company's December 31, 1996 financial statements contains a going concern qualification, which provides that the Company's ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon it raising additional capital. The Company will continue to be an inactive company unless and until it raises additional capital and acquires an operating company. There can be no assurance that either will occur. Results of Operations The Company has not commenced any active operations since its Confirmation Date and generated no revenue from continuing operations for the year ended December 31, 1996 or the year ended December 31, 1995. The Company had total expenses of $57,965 for the year ended December 31, 1996 all of which was related to Bankruptcy administration and legal expenses. For the year ended December 31, 1995, the Company had no revenue related to continuing operations, and expenses related to continuing operations of $54,122, all of which was attributed to Bankruptcy administration and legal fees. The Company anticipates that it will not generate any revenues until, it acquires or merges with another company. Plan of Operation The Company's current plan of operation is to acquire another operating company. (See "Item 1 - Description of Business - Current Business Plan.") It is likely that any acquisition will be a "reverse merger" acquisition whereby the Company acquires a larger company by issuing shares of the Company's common stock to the shareholders of the larger company. Although the Company would be the surviving or parent company from a corporate law standpoint, the shareholders of the larger company would be the controlling shareholders of the Company and the larger company would be treated as the survivor or parent company from an accounting point of view. It can be expected that any company which may desire to be acquired by the Company will do so as method of potentially becoming a public company more quickly and less expensively than if such company undertook its own public offering. Even if the Company is able to acquire another company, there can be no assurance that the Company will ever operate at a profit. 16 Inflation The Company does not believe that inflation will negatively impact its business plans. Impact of Year 2000 Issue An issue exists for all companies that rely on computers as the year 2000 approaches. The "Year 2000" problem is the result of the past practice in the computer industry of using two digits rather than four to identify the applicable year. This practice will result in incorrect results when computers perform arithmetic operations, comparisons or data field sorting involving years later than 1999. Currently, the Company has no active operations and will not have active operations until and unless it acquires another company. As part of its consideration of the merits of acquiring another company, the Company will consider the effects of the ear 2000 problem on such other company and the actions taken by such other company be ready for Year 2000. In assessing the level of readiness any potential acquisition target, the Company considered the following to be the most important factors: (i) the level of compliance of the such company's central computer systems; (ii) the level of compliance of the software used in such company's ongoing operations; and (iii) the level of readiness of such company's largest vendors. There can be no assurances that either any company acquired by the Company or any customers and suppliers of such acquired company, will be Year 2000 compliant.. In the event that the any company or acquired by the Company or any of such company's customers or suppliers do not install Year 2000 compliant systems, following such acquisition the Company may need additional clerical staff to perform certain tasks, such as order entry and cash posting, and to provide the information currently provided to customers electronically. There can be no assurance that the Company will not have to bear additional costs and expenses in the future related to the Year 2000 problem.

We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of Pacific Syndication, Inc. (a Delaware corporation in the Development Stage) as of December 31, 1996 and 1995, and the related statements of operations, stockholders' deficit, and cash flows for the years then ended and the period from inception of the development stage (December 21, 1995) through December 31, 1996. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Corporation's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit. We conducted our audit in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards. Those standards require that we 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. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion. In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Pacific Syndication, Inc. (a development stage company) as of December 31, 1996 and 1995, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years then ended and the period from inception of the development stage (December 21, 1995) through December 31, 1996, 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 discussed in Note 1 to the financial statements, the Company is a development stage company with no operating capital which raises substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Management's plans in regard to these matters are also described in Note 1. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

See independent auditors' report and notes to financial statements. 23 1. ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES Organization and Going Concern. Pacific Syndication, Inc. was originally incorporated in December 1991 under the laws of the State of Delaware. It also became a California corporation in 1991. Pacific Syndication, Inc. was engaged in the business of videotape duplication, standard conversion and delivery of television programming. In 1994, Pacific Syndication, Inc. merged with Kaiser Research, Inc. The Company filed a petition for Chapter 11 under the Bankruptcy Code in June 1995. The debtor in possession kept operating until December 21, 1995, when all the assets, except cash and accounts receivable, were sold to a third party, Starcom. The purchaser assumed all post-petition liabilities and all obligations collateralized by the assets acquired (see note 6). The Company is no longer operating, and will attempt to locate a new business (operating company), and offer itself as a merger vehicle for a company that may desire to go public through a merger rather than through its own public stock offering. The Company's financial statements are prepared using generally accepted accounting principles applicable to a going concern which contemplates the realization of assets and liquidation of liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company has not established revenue sufficient to cover its operating costs and to allow it to continue as a going concern. Management intends to seek a merger with a existing operating company, in the interim it has committed to meeting the Company's minimal operating expenses. Cash Flows For purposes of the statements of cash flows, the Company considers all highly liquid debt instruments with a maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. Estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect certain reported amounts and disclosures. Accordingly, actual results may differ from those estimates. See Independent Auditor's Report 24 2. INCOME TAXES The Company's loss carryforwards available to offset future taxable income are estimated at $0 due to limitations in accordance with rules in change of ownership. 3. STOCK OPTIONS In 1994, the Company issued stock options to an individual in connection with a covenant not to compete. At December 31, 1996, there were options to purchase 70,550 shares of the Company at $.01 per share. These options expire on May 31, 1998. 4. COMMON STOCK During 1995, 950,550 shares of common stock were issued in settlement of various matters. Issuance of shares did not impact the financial statements of the Company, as the matters could not be valued, and the value of the shares was not material. On May 28, 1997, the existing shares of the Company were reverse split 1-for-6 as part of the reorganization plan approved by the Bankruptcy Court. The reverse split was considered retroactively for the disclosure of outstanding shares on the balance sheet, and for the calculation of weighted average number of common shares which is used for determination of loss per common share. 5. COMMITMENTS & CONTINGENCIES In 1995, the Company filed a lawsuit against Donald Palmer alleging breach of contract and other claims. The case was filed in Los Angeles County, California. The Company sought damages in the approximate amount of $1,000,000. The defendant filed a counter claim against the Company for breach of contract and is seeking past due rent and other damages. As of December 31, 1996, past due rent claimed by the defendant was approximately $150,000. The defendant also seeks damages in the amount of $75,000 pursuant to a stock purchase agreement. The Company is unable to predict the outcome of this litigation. The Company has assigned its position in this matter to another entity. The Company does not believe this litigation will have any material impact on its future operations or financial position. 6. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS In May 1997, a reorganization plan was approved by the Bankruptcy Court, and the remaining creditors composed of all liabilities subject to compromise, excluding tax claims, were issued 1,458,005 shares of the Company, which was one share for every dollar of indebtedness. IRS tax liabilities are payable in cash by quarterly installments of $17,612 starting in 1997. In November 1997, the Company changed its name to Pacific Alliance Corporation. See independent auditors' report. 25 ITEM 8. CHANGES AND DISAGREEMENTS WITH ACCOUNTANTS ON ACCOUNTING AND FINANCIAL DISCLOSURE Until the completion of the audited financial statements for inclusion in this filing, the Company last audit was for the year ended December 31, 1993. During the period from the time the petition for bankruptcy protection was filed and the date of the Confirmation of the Plan, no firm acted as the Company's certifying accountant. On August 31, 1997, the new Board of Directors of the Company appointed Rose, Snyder & Jacobs as the Company's certifying accountant. To the best knowledge of the new Board, there was no dispute as to accounting principles or any other matter between the Company and its previous accountants. PART III ITEM 9.
