See notes to financial statements. -5- 6 BISHOP EQUITIES, INC. A DEVELOPMENT STAGE ENTERPRISE NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (unaudited) - June 30, 1996 NOTE 1: Summary of Significant Accounting Policies Bishop Equities, Inc. (the "Company") was organized in Nevada on April 17, 1991, and is a blank check company with no defined business plan other than intention to acquire an existing private company through an exchange of securities (the "Business Combination"). Selection of the Business Combination candidate will be at the complete discretion of Management, and upon consummation, control and management of the Company may pass to other individuals who are presently unknown and unidentifiable. The Company's success will depend upon Management's ability to locate a suitable candidate for Business Combination, and to consummate the transaction, and on the eventual profitability of the resulting entity. The Company's year end is March 31. Organization costs will be amortized over a 60-month period. During the period covered by the Report, the Company's activities were limited to investigating potential candidates for merger or acquisition. NOTE 2: Capitalization The Offering commenced March 8, 1993 and concluded on March 19, 1993. The Company sold to the public, through its underwriter, Westminster Securities Corp. (the "Underwriter"), on a firm-commitment basis, a total of 11,500 shares of common stock, par value $.001 per share (the "Shares"), at $6.00 per Share, including the exercise of the Underwriter's overallotment option. The Company received net proceeds of $60,042 after deduction of $8,970 in underwriting commissions and discounts. Additional offering expenses totalled $25,531, of which $20,607 was paid as of March 31, 1993 and the remainder was paid subsequently. Officers and directors are reimbursed for out-of-pocket expenses incurred in the investigation of Business Combination candidates on the Company's behalf including travel expenses. The Underwriter purchased 1,000 nonredeemable Underwriter Warrants for $.0125 each. Each may be exercised by the registered -6- 7 BISHOP EQUITIES, INC. A DEVELOPMENT STAGE ENTERPRISE Notes to financial statements - June 30, 1996 -continued holder to purchase one share for $7.20 during a four-year exercise period commencing March 8, 1994. The exercise price and number of Shares purchasable are subject to anti-dilution adjustment upon occurrence of certain events. The Company has undertaken to include the Underwriter Warrants in any registration statement it may file during a six-year period commencing March 8, 1994, and to file a registration statement containing the Underwriter Warrants and/or underlying Shares at the request of the holders on two occasions during a five-year period commencing March 8, 1993. The Underwriter has executed an undertaking that any registration of the Underwriter Warrants will be for exercise, not distribution. The amount of paid-in-capital was reduced by the amount of Deferred Offering costs, and the costs of the Offering were offset against the proceeds of the Offering. NOTE 3: Employees; Related Party Transactions The Company's officers are its only employees. No salaries were paid to officers during the period. The secretary-treasurer, Maureen Abato, is also the Company's attorney, and has been paid fees for certain legal services rendered. The officers and directors have limited experience in evaluating businesses and devote only minimal time to the Company's affairs. NOTE 4: Lease Commitment Registrant maintains a rent-free mailing address in its president's office, 355 South End Ave., #22B, New York NY 10280. NOTE 5: Conflicts of Interest Certain conflicts of interest will continue to exist between the Company and its officers and directors, each of whom has other business interests to which she devotes substantial attention. Each officer and director is expected to continue in such activities, which could detract from management time necessary for the Company's affairs. The officers and directors hold similar positions in, and are major shareholders of, other public 'blank check' companies and may also become involved with other corporations which may file registration statements for blank check offerings, all of which may compete with the Company for available opportunities. -7- 8 BISHOP EQUITIES, INC. A DEVELOPMENT STAGE ENTERPRISE Notes to financial statements - June 30, 1996 -continued Management has established a limited policy for handling potential conflicts of interest which may arise. The Company intends not to conduct any business transaction with an entity in which its officers, directors, major shareholders, or their affiliates or associates, have an ownership interest. Further, the Company intends not to join in any type of business combination with any of the other corporations in which its officers and directors are involved in the same or similar capacities. The public offerings of all of the blank check ventures in which the Company's president has been involved were also underwritten by the Company's underwriter, Westminster Securities Corp. The Company's independent auditor, Jody M. Weber, CPA, served as the independent auditor for each. Business Combination candidates are expected to become available primarily through the personal contacts of the Company's officers and directors, and the Company has not present intention to engage professional firms specializing in business acquisitions or reorganizations, nor to retain, hire or utilize any consultants. No finders fees will be paid to any party in connection with a Business Combination. No prediction can be made as to the costs of identifying a suitable candidate for a Business Combination, or of consummating such a transaction. NOTE 6: Risk Factors The Company was recently organized, has no history of operations or revenues and is in its earliest stages of development. The Company has no working capital and its ability to conduct its proposed activities, i.e., the investigation of Business Combination candidates, and operate as a going concern, is contingent upon locating an acquisition candidate and consummating such transaction. The Company's capital has been deemed sufficient to commence only very limited operations. NOTE 7: "Blue Sky Laws" Many states have imposed restrictions on the tradeability of securities of "blank check" companies. Upon completion of a Business Combination, its securities may become eligible for sale in additional states. -8- 9 PART II - OTHER INFORMATION Item 1. Legal Proceedings - None. Item 2.
