Item 1. Business
General
Danny and Tony Gibbs, the Company's two executives, acquired Gibbs
Construction, Inc. (Gibbs Construction, Inc. is referred to herein as the
"Company" unless the context indicates otherwise) in 1985 and began to conduct
their construction business from that entity. The Company headquarters are
located in Garland, Texas, a suburb of Dallas. The Company is a full service,
national, commercial construction company. The Company's clients are principally
national retail chains that are engaged in aggressive expansion programs
although the Company has begun to construct small hotels. These programs usually
call for the erection of stand-alone facilities or "power centers," which
typically have stores that range in size from 10,000 to 75,000 square feet. Some
of the Company's clients include Best Buy, Oshmans Super Sports, Barnes & Noble,
Office Max, Petstuff, Just for Feet, Copy Max and Petsmart.
In July of 1996, the Company sold the assets of its wholly owned
subsidiary, Bronco Bowl Holding, Inc. which operated a 136,000 square foot
complex, the Bronco Bowl, on approximately twenty acres near downtown Dallas.
The Company acquired the property in 1994 and performed extensive renovations on
the complex, opening it in January of 1996. Because of operating losses, the
Company sold the facility later in 1996.
Effective January 18, 2000, the Company and two of its principal
stockholders, Danny and Tony Gibbs, entered into a joint control and escrow
agreement whereby one of the Company's principal sureties agreed to provide
funds to complete contract obligations. This agreement followed a request by the
Company for financial assistance because of the Company's lack of cash flow to
make certain payments relative to five bonded construction contracts. As part of
the agreement, the Company agreed to grant the surety a security interest in
certain Company assets, and Danny and Tony Gibbs granted the surety a security
interest in their ownership of 2,000,000 shares of the Company's stock. Two of
the five bonded contracts, which relate to the construction of small hotels, had
resulted in major losses and the five contracts resulted in losses of
approximately $5,000,000. Primarily because of those losses, the Company
anticipates filing for protection under Chapter 11 of the United State
Bankruptcy Code.
Construction Operations
The Company acts as a general contractor for both "ground up" and
interior "finish out" construction. "Ground up" construction involves the
construction of a building's shell, that is, construction of the building's
floor, wall, and ceiling. "Finish out" comprises electrical work, erection of
walls, painting, demolition, air conditioning and heating systems and plumbing,
among other activities. The Company focuses on the higher margin activities
involved in "finish out" work, subcontracting lower margin work to other
contractors. In 1999, approximately 65% of the Company's revenues were derived
from "ground up" work and 35% from "finish out" work.
The Company utilizes its own personnel throughout a project while
trying to minimize any subcontract labor. Personnel are sometimes flown to the
city where the construction occurs, but normally personnel and equipment are
transported by trucks and trailers to the construction site. The Company rents
corporate apartment housing when necessary, housing three or four persons per
apartment.
The Company transports Company owned small tools and equipment to the
construction site via Company owned trucks. The Company leases or rents
particularly heavy equipment such as hoists, cranes and personnel lifts from
local equipment suppliers when necessary for use on particular projects. Most
jobs, including out of state jobs, can be organized within seven to ten days
after award of the contract.
Marketing of the Construction Business
In 1999, the Company's construction business focuses on a clientele of
publicly held companies or companies anticipating to become publicly held which
have the necessary funds appropriated for construction programs on a nation-wide
basis. The specifically targeted companies are national retail chains that
conduct operations in stand-alone facilities or "power-centers". These national
retail companies are frequently engaged in aggressive expansion programs, which
often require the construction of ten to fifty units of 10,000 to 100,000 square
feet per year on a nation-wide basis. In addition, these retail chains often
remodel a large number of existing outlets for which the Company bid. However,
in 1998 the Company began to bid on non-retail projects, including the small
hotels referred to above.
<PAGE>
The Company usually experiences some work slowdown in the first quarter
of each calendar year due, in the opinion of management, to a slowing of the
bidding process during the holiday season.
The Company does not engage in a formal marketing or selling program
for the construction business. Most work comes by referral or reputation with a
large amount of repeat business from existing customers. During 1999,
approximately 40% of the Company business was repeat business from existing
clients.
Most clients which have stores under construction have revenues which
are directly affected by the opening date of the store. It is critical for the
Company to further establish and maintain a dependable reputation within the
industry to meet completion schedules. To date, the Company has never had to
delay the expected completion date of a project. After completion of the first
project for a new client, the Company is able to develop a continuing
relationship with its clients by demonstrating the Company's other advantages
such as: the ability to work throughout the United States regardless of the
client's targeted area of expansion; more consistent service and product due to
familiarity with the client construction and operational needs; more centralized
communication since numerous projects could be discussed at one time; and
greater control over the construction schedule due to the use of the Company's
own crews.
The Company does not engage in heavy construction and provides neither
engineering nor architectural services. Only a small portion of its business
comes from construction in shopping malls or finish out of commercial office
buildings. None of its business is derived from work provided to governmental
agencies.
In 1999, the Company was engaged in over 120 projects for approximately
40 different clients. Two clients, Office Max (17%) and Just for Feet (18%),
accounted for approximately 35% of the Company's revenues during 1999. One
shopping center development amounted to approximately 20% of the Company's
revenues. In 1999 Just for Feet filed for protection under the United States
Bankruptcy Code.
Contracting Process
Almost all of the Company's projects are competitively bid on a fixed
price basis. The Company presently obtains approximately 85% of all of its work
on a competitive bid basis. The Company utilizes an estimating process whereby
the project manager reviews every division and line item of the project. Unit
costs are then applied to each line item. This approach not only allows the
project manager to become extremely familiar with the details of the project but
also gives a good indication as to whether subcontractor prices are consistent
with market conditions.
Competition
The Company believes that its construction business competes on price,
reputation for quality, timeliness, familiarity with retail construction, the
availability of aggregate materials.
The market for construction services, particularly services to national
retail chains, is highly competitive. While the vast majority of the Company's
competitors are smaller and may not be as well capitalized, several of the
Company's competitors are larger, better known and have substantially greater
marketing, financial, personnel and other resources, including established
reputations and working relationships, than the Company. There can be no
assurance that the Company's services will continue to be competitive in the
market place.
Government Regulation
The Company's business is subject to a variety of state and local
governmental regulations and licensing requirements relating to construction
activities. Prior to commencing work on a construction project, the Company is
required to obtain building permits and, in some jurisdictions, state and local
authorities require the Company to obtain demonstrating knowledge of
construction, building, fire and safety codes. In order to complete a project
and obtain a certificate of occupancy, the Company is required to obtain the
approval of local authorities confirming compliance with these requirements.
The Company has general contractor licenses in numerous large states
and major metropolitan areas.
<PAGE>
Insurance and Bonding
The Company maintains general liability and excess liability insurance
covering its construction equipment in amounts consistent with industry
practices. Management believes its insurance programs are adequate. Worker's
compensation insurance covering the leased employees is provided through the
employee leasing company from which the Company leases employees.
Although not required by most clients, occasionally the Company is
required to provide various types of surety bonds guaranteeing its performance
under certain contracts. The Company's ability to obtain surety bonds depends
upon its capitalization, working capital, past performance, management expertise
and other factors. Surety companies consider such factors in light of the amount
of surety bonds then outstanding for the Company and their current underwriting
standards, which may change from time to time.
Construction Employees
The Company leases all of its field employees through an employee
leasing company. The Company has utilized the same employee leasing company for
more than five years. By doing so, the Company is able to relieve itself from
administration surrounding employment practices. In particular, the Company
believes that the employee leasing company is able to find more favorable
workers compensation insurance than it would otherwise be able to find as well
as develop and administer Company safety programs.
At March 15, 2000, the field operations of the Company were conducted
by 8 superintendents and 35 tradesmen. A field superintendent is assigned to
each project with the responsibility to oversee the day to day progress on the
project. The field superintendent reports directly to the project manager.
In addition to Danny and Tony Gibbs, the Company employs in the
construction business six persons, including one project managers, 3 project
assistants, one project accountant, and one accounting clerks. The project
managers typically run three to four projects at a time and are responsible for
the overall coordination and scheduling of each project as well as
communications with the client.
Item 2. Properties.
The Company owns a 10,000 square foot office and warehouse facility in
Garland, Texas. Offices presently occupy approximately 6,000 square feet. Of
that space, the Company completed in March of 1996 and an additional 2,500
square feet that enabled the Company to have space for additional project
managers and four staff members capable of supporting operations. These assets
now secure the Company's surety. See "Item 1. Business - General."
As of March 15, 2000, the Company owned 9 trucks and 5 trailers. The
Company also owned two tractors, two fork lifts and six scissor lifts. This type
of equipment is used on almost all jobs, and any additional equipment or
machinery required for a job is rented on an as needed basis. The Company has
very little inventory. That which does exist primarily consists of left over or
unused material which can be used on the next project.
Item 3. Legal Proceedings
The Company is involved in a number of legal proceedings. Several of
these matters involve alleged non-performance by the Company and, in the opinion
of management arise in the ordinary course of business. Several additional suits
are on accounts and relate to disputes arising out of the Company's financial
difficulties.

Item 7. Management's Discussion And Analysis Of Financial Condition And
Results Of Operations.
Overview
The Company is presently operating under an agreement with one of its
sureties relating to five small hotels that the Company contracted to construct
which resulted in approximately $5,000,000 in losses. The Company accrued an
additional $2,000,000 in bad debt expense relating to receivables that may not
be collected. The Company's financial resources are not sufficient to finance
these losses and the Company will file for protection under Chapter 11 of the
United States Bankruptcy Code.
<PAGE>
Results of Operations - 1999 Compared with 1998
Revenues for 1999 were essentially unchanged from 1998, $53,366,171 in
1999 compared to $54,496,848 in 1998. Gross profit was positive in 1998 and
negative in 1999 principally because of approximately $5,000,000 in losses
incurred in connection with the construction of hotels referred to above. The
loss was also affected by a large contract which failed to pay for extensive
change orders causing a significant reduction in gross profit on the contract.
Finally, the bankruptcy of Just for Feet significantly diminished gross profit
because in 1998 the client provided significant gross margin on contracts.
General and administrative costs were $2,759,871 in 1999 compared to
$1,687,147 in 1998. The increase relates $800,000 in liquidated damages that may
be charged against the Company, $450,000 in litigation expenses in excess of
charges to projects and $325,000 in legal expenses. In addition, in 1999 the
Company increased its bad debt expense to $2,508,138 from $842,758 in the
earlier year.
The Company also expensed an income tax asset of $1,523,840 in 1999
which it had previously set up as a result of losses in prior years.
Accordingly, the Company Net loss in 1999 was $8,950,262 compared to a
profit of $465,707 in 1998.
Results of Operations - 1998 Compared with 1997
Revenues from continuing operations between 1998 and 1997 increased
approximately 13.6% to $54,496,848 in 1998 compared to $47,993,287 in 1997. The
increase is principally attributable to expanding the Company's operations
beyond retail construction to small hotels.
Gross profits for 1998 increased to $3,282,871 in 1998 or approximately
6.0% of revenues compared to $2,439,086 or 5.1% of revenue in 1997. The Company
enjoyed particularly strong gross margins in the fourth quarter from its
construction on several retail construction projects.
Operating income from continuing operations, however, decreased to
$752,966 in 1998 from $1,070,089 in 1997. The decrease resulted from an increase
in 1998 in General and Administrative expenses principally because the Company
wrote off $842,758, of which $637,632 was written off in the fourth quarter of
1998. In addition, the Company accrued $166,670 in 1998 in litigation expense
compared to $62,213 in 1997 related to collection of aforesaid receivables.
The effect of these increases in General and Administrative Expense was
to reduce 1998 income before taxes to approximately $731,772 in 1998 compared to
$891,100 in 1997, and net income in 1998 to $465,707 compared to $584,900 in
1997.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
The Company is insolvent and will shortly file for protection under
Chapter 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code. It is possible that a
proceeding under Chapter 11 could be converted into a Chapter 7 and the Company
liquidated.

Benefit Plans
1995 Incentive Stock Option Plan
The Company's 1995 Incentive Stock Option Plan was approved by the
Board of Directors and shareholders of the Company on August 15, 1995 to provide
for the grant of incentive stock options within the meaning of Section 422 of
the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 as amended to officers and employees of the
Company and subsidiaries of the Company. A total of 200,000 shares of Common
Stock has been authorized and reserved for issuance under the 1995 Incentive
Stock Option Plan, subject to adjustment to reflect changes in the Company's
capitalization in the case of a stock split, stock dividend or similar event.
The 1995 Incentive Stock Option Plan is administered by the Compensation
Committee, which consists of the Company's two "Outside Directors." Outside
Directors shall mean only those directors of the Company or a subsidiary of the
Company who are not regular salaried employees of either the Company or a
subsidiary as of the date the option is granted. The Compensation Committee has
the sole authority to interpret the 1995 Incentive Stock Option Plan, to
determine the persons to whom options will be granted, to determine the basis
upon which the options will be granted, and to determine the exercise price,
duration and other terms of options to be granted under the 1995 Incentive Stock
Option Plan; provided that, (i) the exercise price of each option granted under
the 1995 Incentive Stock Option Plan may not be less than the fair market value
of the Common Stock on the day of the grant of the option, (ii) the exercise
price must be paid in cash and or stock upon exercise of the option, (iii) no
option may be exercisable for more than 10 years after the date of grant, and
(iv) no option is transferable other than by will or the laws of descent and
distribution. No option is exercisable after an optionee ceases to be employed
by the Company or a subsidiary of the Company, subject to the right of the
Compensation Committee to extend the exercise period for not more than 90 days
following the date of termination of an optionee's employment. An optionee who
was a director or advisor may exercise his option at any time within 90 days
after such optionee's status as a director or advisor terminates to the extent
he was entitled to exercise such option at the date of termination of his
status. If an optionee's employment is terminated by reason of disability, the
Compensation Committee has the authority to extend the exercise period for not
more than one year following the date of termination of the optionee's
employment or service as an advisor or director. If an optionee dies and shall
hold options not fully exercised, such options may be exercised in whole or in
part within one year of the optionee's death by the executors or administrators
of the optionee's estate or by the optionee's heirs. The vesting period, if any,

Outside Directors Stock Option Plan
The Outside Directors Stock Option Plan was approved by the Board of
Directors and shareholders of the Company on August 15, 1995. A total of 50,000
shares of Common Stock has been authorized and reserved for issuance under the
Outside Directors Stock Option Plan, subject to adjustment to reflect changes in
the Company's capitalization in the case of a stock split, stock dividend or
similar event. The Outside Directors Stock Option Plan is administered by the
Stock Option Committee which consists of Danny Gibbs and Tony Gibbs. The Stock
Option Committee has the sole authority to interpret the Outside Directors Stock
Option Plan, to determine the persons to whom options will be granted, to
determine the basis upon which the options will be granted, and to determine the
exercise price, duration and other terms of options to be granted under the
Outside Directors Stock Option Plan; provided that, (i) the exercise price of
each option granted under the Plan may not be less than the fair market value of
the Common Stock on the day of the grant of the option, (ii) the exercise price
must be paid in cash and or stock upon exercise of the option, (iii) no option
may be exercisable for more than 10 years after the date of grant, and (iv) no
option is transferable other than by will or the laws of descent and
distribution. If an optionee's status as an Outside Director is terminated for
any reason other than death, the optionee may exercise his option at any time
within 90 days after such termination to the extent it was then exercisable. If
an optionee dies while an Outside Director and shall not have fully exercised
options granted under the Outside Directors Stock Option Plan, such options may
be exercised in whole or in part within six months of the optionee's death by
the executors or administrators of the optionee's estate or by the optionee's
heirs. The vesting period, if any, specified for each option will be accelerated
upon the occurrence of a change of control or threatened change of control of
the Company.
Options under the Outside Directors Stock Option Plan are granted only
to Outside Directors selected by the Committee. Outside Directors shall mean
only those directors of the Company or a subsidiary of the Company who are not
regular salaried employees of either the Company or a subsidiary as of the date
the option is granted. As of the date of this Prospectus, none of the Common
Stock reserved for issuance in either the Outside Directors Stock Plan or the
1995 Incentive Stock Option Plan had been issued.
Item 12. Security Ownership of Certain Beneficial Owners and Management.
The following table sets forth certain information regarding the

$318,415 in 1999.
In 1997 Messrs. Danny and Tony Gibbs formed Team Technical Services,
Inc. and in 1998 formed Tri-Tech, Inc which engaged in electrical and roofing
contracting services. In 1999 Mr. Danny Gibbs formed a residential real estate
development company, Regal Homes, Inc. Team Technical Services filed for
protection under Chapter 7 of the United States Bankruptcy Code in 1999. In
connection with services rendered to the Company, the Company paid Team
Technical Services and Tri Tech, Inc. $1,799,576, $2,068,365 and $75,775 during

1999, 1998, and 1997, the Company owed Team Technical Services, Inc. and
Tri-Tech, Inc. $786, $164,342 and $53,412, respectively.
In 1999 Tri Tech and Regal Homes purchased approximately $130,000 of

payable to Messrs. Danny and Tony Gibbs.
In 1999, Vratsinas Construction Company, Inc. filed a lawsuit against
the Company, Team Technical Services and Messrs. Danny R. Gibbs and Tony G.
Gibbs relating to certain services provided by Team Technical Services and
alleging breach of contract. Management of the Company believes that any
recovery against the Company pursuant to this litigation is remote. The
litigation asserts a claim of approximately $1,400,000.
In 1999, Pinion Construction, Inc. filed a similar claim against Team
Technical Services, the Company and Messrs. Danny R. Gibbs and Tony G. Gibbs
upon similar theories, asserting approximately $1,540,000 in damages. Management
of the Company believes that any recovery against the Company is remote.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS
The Board of Directors and Stockholders
Gibbs Construction, Inc. and Subsidiary
Garland, Texas
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Gibbs
Construction, Inc. and Subsidiary as of December 31, 1999 and 1998, and the
related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders' (deficit) equity
and cash flows for each of the years in the three year period ended December 31,
1999. 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 audit.
Except as discussed in the following paragraph, we conducted our audits in
accordance with generally accepted auditing standards. Those standards require
that we plan and perform the audits 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
audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
We were unable to obtain a discussion or evaluation from one of seventeen firms
of attorneys who were acting as the Company's legal counsel on pending or
threatened litigation described in Note 8 to the consolidated financial
statements.
In our opinion, except for the effects of such adjustments, if any, as might
have been determined to be necessary had we been able to obtain a discussion or
evaluation of pending or threatened litigation from the Company's outside legal
counsel as discussed in the preceding paragraph, the consolidated financial
statements referred to in the first paragraph present fairly, in all material
respects, the financial position of Gibbs Construction, Inc. and Subsidiary as
of December 31, 1999 and 1998, and the results of their operations and cash
flows for each of the years in the three year period ended December 31, 1999, 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 shown in the financial statements,
the Company incurred a net loss of $8,950,262 for the year ended December 31,
1999, and, as of that date, had a working capital deficiency of $7,149,451 and
net stockholders' deficit of $6,473,672. As described more fully in Note 16 to
the financial statements, the Company is experiencing extreme financial
difficulty due to large losses on numerous construction contracts. The balance
of the funding of those construction projects was assumed by the Company's
bonding surety on January 18, 2000. The Company is not aware of any alternate
sources of capital to finance future operations. Those conditions raise
substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern.
The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from
the outcome of this uncertainty.

GIBBS CONSTRUCTION, INC. AND SUBSIDIARY
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
DECEMBER 31, 1999, 1998 and 1997
NOTE 1: SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
General
Gibbs Construction, Inc. (the "Company"), is a full service, national
commercial construction company located in Garland, Texas. The Company
operates throughout the United States and Puerto Rico, providing
construction services principally to national retail store chains, hotels,
and other miscellaneous construction projects.
Subsidiary and Principles of Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Gibbs
Construction, Inc. and its wholly owned inactive subsidiary, Bronco Bowl
Holding, Inc. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have
been eliminated in consolidation.
Temporary Investments
The Company has entered into numerous account agreements with stockbrokers
and participates in an active trading program in equity securities listed on
nationally recognized stock exchanges. The fair value for temporary
investment securities are based on quoted market prices.
Revenue Recognition
Revenues from construction contracts are recognized on the
percentage-of-completion method, measured by the percentage of total direct
job costs incurred to date to estimated total direct job costs for each
contract. This method is used because management considers expended direct
job costs to be the best available measure of progress on contracts.
Contract costs include all direct material, labor and sub-contract costs and
those indirect costs related to contract performance, such as indirect
labor, supplies, tools and repair costs. General and administrative costs
are charged to expense as incurred. Provisions for estimated losses on
uncompleted contracts are made in the period in which such losses are
determined. Changes in job performance, job conditions, and estimated
profitability, including those arising from contract penalty provisions and
final contract settlements, may result in revisions to costs and income and
are recognized in the period in which the revisions are determined.
The asset "costs and estimated earnings in excess of billings on uncompleted
contracts," represents revenues recognized in excess of amounts billed. The
liability "billings in excess of costs and estimated earnings on uncompleted
contracts," represents billings in excess of revenues recognized.
Receivables and payables related to construction contracts are generally
expected to be paid in less than one year.

Accounts Receivable
Accounts receivable consists of amounts due on open customer accounts,
contract balances billed, retain- age, and sundry accounts receivable. The
Company uses the allowance method to account for uncollectible accounts
receivable. The allowance for doubtful accounts is based on management's
analysis of possible bad debts. Management has determined an allowance for
doubtful accounts of $1,233,393 and $725,000 for the years ended December
31, 1999 and 1998, respectively. Bad debt expense was recorded in the

The Company has the policy of expensing advertising costs as incurred. Total
advertising costs charged to expenses was $213,416, $61,833, and $1,531 for
the years ended December 31, 1999, 1998, and 1997, respectively.
Buildings and Equipment
Depreciation of buildings and equipment is provided principally on the
straight-line method using estimated useful lives ranging from five to
twenty-five years.
Major renewals and betterments are added to the property accounts while the
cost of repairs and maintenance is charged to operating expenses in the
period incurred. Cost of assets retired or otherwise disposed of and the
applicable accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts, and the
resultant gain or loss, if any, is reflected in operations.

NOTE 1: SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)
Federal Income Taxes
The Company accounts for income taxes, pursuant to the provisions of
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 109, "Accounting for Income
Taxes" (SFAS No. 109), which requires recognition of deferred tax
liabilities and assets for the expected future tax consequences of events
that have been included in the financial statements or tax returns. Under
this method, deferred tax liabilities and assets are determined based on the
difference between the financial statement and tax basis of assets and
liabilities using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which the
differences are expected to reverse.
Pension and Employee Benefit Plans
The Company has established a flexible benefits plan for its employees. The
purpose of this plan is to provide eligible employees a choice between cash
and specified welfare benefits.
The Company has established a deferred contribution profit sharing plan
(401(k) Plan), covering substantially all employees. This plan allows both
the Company and eligible employees to contribute to the plan. No significant
contributions were made to the plan by the Company in 1999, 1998, or 1997.
Use of 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 could differ from those estimates.
The Company recognizes revenues from fixed-price construction contracts
using the percentage-of-completion method, measured by the percentage of
cost incurred to date to management's estimated total cost for each
contract. That method is used because management considers total cost to be
the best available measure of progress on the contracts. Because of the
inherent uncertainties in estimating costs, it is at least reasonably
possible that the estimates used will change within the near term.
Cash Flows
The Company considers cash to be cash equivalents for purposes of preparing
the statements of cash flows.
Basic Earnings Per Share
Basic earnings (loss) per share was computed using the weighted average
outstanding common shares for the applicable periods. The diluted earnings
(loss) per share is the same as basic since inclusion of the stock warrants
in the computation would have been anti-dilutive.

Accounting for Long-Lived Assets
The Company has adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 121,
"Accounting For The Impairment Of Long-Lived Assets And For Long-Lived
Assets To Be Disposed Of". The Company reviews long-lived assets, certain
identifiable assets and any goodwill related to those assets for impairment
whenever circumstances and situations change such that there is an
indication that the carrying amounts may not be recoverable. At December 31,
1999, the Company believes that there has been no impairment of its
long-lived assets.

At December 31, 1999, the Company had deposits aggregating $1,062,349 with a
bank. Such deposits exceed the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation's
insurance coverage.
The carrying amounts of accounts receivable, accounts payable, notes
payable, and long term debt approximate their fair values.
NOTE 8: LITIGATION AND CONTINGENCIES
The Company, its two principal shareholders, the Company's bonding surety
and construction project owners are defendants in numerous lawsuits
initiated by material suppliers and/or subcontractors for work performed
and/or material supplied and for liquidated damages on certain contracts
which specified completion dates. The Company's management and outside legal
counsel has estimated the potential loss exposure to be approximately
$1,092,000. This amount was accrued as a liability of the Company and
charged against operations for the year ended December 31, 1999.
The Company's Subsidiary is a defendant in two lawsuits related to equipment
leases that were assumed by the purchaser of the Bronco Bowl in 1996. The
purchaser subsequently filed for bankruptcy protection thereby exposing the
Company and its Subsidiary to approximately $161,000 in lease liabilities,
which were recognized as an expense in the statement of operations for the
year ended December 31, 1999.
As part of the audit process, the independent certified public accountants,
selected as auditors by the Company, sent correspondence to seventeen (17)
legal firms requesting discussion and evaluation regarding pending or
threatened litigation involving the Company and its Subsidiary. All legal
firms with the exception of one firm provided the requested discussions and
evaluations. The legal firm not responding to the request billed the Company
$86,075 subsequent to December 31, 1999, and the Company objected to the
amount billed. The primary legal service provided by this firm was in
connection with the Company's negotiations with its bond surety. The
Company's management is not able to determine the amount of any liabilities
associated with pending or threatened litigation for which this firm was
representing the Company.
The Company has entered into guarantee arrangements on contracts in the
ordinary course of business. The guarantee period is generally one year.
Cost of repairs on guarantee arrangements cannot be reasonably estimated.
Warranty costs incurred for the years ended December 31, 1999, 1998, and
1997 were $50,839, $5,317, and $31,314, respectively.

</TABLE>
The deferred tax assets have been recorded based on a net operating loss
carryforward from sale of discontinued operations and loss from discontinued
and continuing operations. Due to excessive losses from operations, the
Company anticipates that it will file for protection from its creditors
under Chapter 11 of the Federal Bankruptcy Code; therefore, it has
determined that there is less than a 50% probability that future taxable
income will be sufficient to fully realize the deferred tax assets. The
Company has determined that a deferred tax asset valuation allowance of
$4,029,616 is needed at December 31, 1999.

deferred income taxes and the tax effects of those temporary differences

NOTE 16: SUBSEQUENT EVENT AND GOING CONCERN
In the latter part of 1998 and early 1999, the Company contracted to
construct several hotels in the Southeast United States (approximately
$9,836,000 in construction revenue, of which, $5,031,000 was recognized in
1998). These construction projects were bonded by the Company's primary
bonding surety. During 1999, losses relating to these projects began to
mount and by December the Company realized it would not have sufficient cash
resources to finish construction on the remaining hotel projects. In
addition the Company was nearing completion of the largest retail project
(construction price of $11,286,422) it had undertaken to date, and the owner
discontinued approval of change orders and funding for the project. This
project was bonded by the Company's surety. In the fourth quarter 1999, the
Company's bonding surety notified the Company that it would no longer
provide completion and payment bonds for the Company's construction
projects. Given these events, the Company began a series of negotiations
with its bonding surety in December 1999, which resulted in a written
agreement in January 2000, whereby the bonding surety would provide funds to
finish certain projects and required the Company to terminate construction
on other projects. As of March 20, 2000, the Company's bonding surety had
made payments to subcontractors, suppliers and other claimants in the amount
of $2,675,738. In addition to the problems associated with these projects,
the Company's largest and most profitable retail customer, Just For Feet,
filed for bankruptcy in November 1999, leaving the Company with $306,000 of
worthless accounts receivables and the loss of its most profitable client,
which accounted for 17.6% and 21.9% of the Company's total revenues in 1999
and 1998, respectively.
Going forward, the Company is actively seeking another company with which to
combine its operations. Discussions were initiated with an Atlanta, Georgia
company in December 1999. That company is a family of Corporations and
LLC(s) whose operations involve construction services and is a minority
designated and owned business. Discussions (which are continuing) around a
plan whereby a "reverse merger" would occur utilizing a pooling of assets or
a stock acquisition by Gibbs. Management of Gibbs would be consolidated with
that company. A change of control by tax definition would not occur under
the terms as contemplated in the current discussions; however, there would
be a change of control in management.

(Continued)
NOTE 16: SUBSEQUENT EVENT AND GOING CONCERN (CONTINUED)
In conjunction with the pending merger as discussed above, in the near
future the Company anticipates that it will file for protection from its
creditors under Chapter 11 of the Federal Bankruptcy Code, which will allow
it time to reorganize itself; thereby, allowing the Company to continue its
operations.
The Company's management is unable to determine the ultimate effect of the
Company's seeking protection form its creditors using Chapter 11 of the
Federal Bankruptcy Code and has not completed its merger negotiations;
therefore, these financial statements are presented on the basis that the
Company is a going concern. Going concern contemplates the realization of
assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business
over a reasonable length of time.
