Asheville, NC 28803. These offices consist of 5700 square feet which are
leased on a three year lease basis beginning October, 1998 at the monthly
lease price of $5,462.50 which is terminable on a ninety day written notice.
There are presently outstanding 11,256,555 Common Shares.
Corporate Operations. The Company is a newly formed company, which currently
intends to acquire and operate barbecue restaurants to be known as
"Foxworthy's Smoke House Grill" or "Foxworthy's Backyard Bar-B-Q," The
Company intends initially to acquire existing barbecue restaurants for
conversion to one of the two restaurant concepts. The Company also intends
to market and distribute barbecue sauces and salsas under trademarks using
the "Foxworthy" name and may also, at a later time, distribute other food
products which are related to the restaurant menu.
License Agreement. On February 4, 1997, the Company entered into a
license agreement with Jeff Foxworthy whereby Mr. Foxworthy licensed the use
of his name and likeness. In consideration for the license agreement, the
Company issued 2,500,000 of its Series A Preferred Stock under the terms of a
Stock Purchase Agreement. The term of the license agreement is 50 years
unless sooner terminated by the occurrence of any of the following:
a. a material breach by the Company of the license agreement,
the Stock Purchase Agreement or any of the transaction documents, if the
breach is not cured within 30 days of receipt from Foxworthy of written
notice thereof.
b. at the option of Foxworthy, upon a material breach by David
Womick of his obligations under Mr. Womick's employment agreement within the
first three years after opening of the first restaurant, which breach has
not been cured within 30 days of receipt from Foxworthy of written notice
thereof.
c. Upon receipt of written notice from Foxworthy in the event
the Company commits any act or omission, is subject to any claim or
occurrence or is involved in any circumstances that would cause the continued
association of the Company with the licensed material to be detrimental to
the value of the licensed material or to Mr. Foxworthy's image or reputation
as determined by Foxworthy in his sole and absolute discretion.
d. The failure of the Company to continually operate the
restaurants and manage the franchise according to the policies, practices and
standards agreed to by the parties pursuant to the terms of the Stock
Purchase Agreement.
e. The failure of the Company and/or Mr. Womick to raise the
Investment Capital, on or before June 30, 1998, and otherwise pursuant to the
terms provided in the Stock Purchase Agreement; or
f. The failure of the Company to comply with any laws and
regulations, the consequences of which are materially adverse to the Company.
As of June 7, 1998, the Investment Capital had been raised and Mr.
Foxworthy's Series A Convertible Preferred Stock was automatically converted
to Common Shares as per the Series A Convertible Stock Purchase Agreement.
Upon termination or expiration of the License Agreement, all license rights
granted to the Company shall terminate and the Company shall immediately
thereafter discontinue all use of the licensed material. Mr. Foxworthy
shall have the right to purchase any inventory of the licensed products in
the Company's possession as of the date of termination. If Mr. Foxworthy
does not purchase all of the Company's existing inventory of the licensed
products, then not withstanding the termination of the license agreement, the
Company shall have the right ot continue to use the licensed material in
connection with the advertisement, distribution, and sale of its existing
inventory of licensed products for a period of 120 days after termination,
provided that such advertisement, distribution and sale is done only by means
of and through then-existing distribution channels and in all other respects
in accordance with all the terms and conditions contained in the license
agreement.
Development of Corporate Owned Restaurants. The Company intends to develop a
chain of corporate owned restaurants under the name of "Foxworthy's Smoke
House Grill" or "Foxworthy's Backyard Bar-B-Q."
Implementation of Restaurant Franchising Program. The Company intends to
build additional corporate owned restaurants and develop and implement a
restaurant franchising program on a nationwide basis.
<PAGE>4
Acquisition of Existing Barbecue Restaurants. The Company intends to
acquire existing barbecue restaurants for conversion to either "Foxworthy's
Smoke House Grill" or Foxworthy's Backyard Dar-B-Q concepts.
In March, 1998, the Company paid an escrow deposit of $25,000 in connection
with negotiations with Woody's Bar-B-Q, a barbecue restaurant chain of seven
company operated and twenty-six franchised barbecue restaurants in
Jacksonville, Florida which the Company was seeking to acquire. The
Company forfeited the escrow deposit when the agreement terminated without
being consummated.
The agreement has been verbally extended while the parties finalize
negotiations regarding the purchase by the Company of a percentage interest
in Woody's equal to the cash the Company has already delivered to the Woody's
shareholders and negotiations of a management agreement based upon the
parties desire to have the Company manage the affairs of Woody's until the
final closing can occur.
The Company continues to seek possible restaurant acquisition candidates as
per the Company's business plan, although it has not executed any definitive
agreements to acquire any business other than Woody's Bar-B-Q and the
restaurant to be acquired from the joint venture.
The Company does not have any other plans, agreement, arrangements or
understandings with respect to the acquisition of restaurants.
Products. The Company's sauces will be produced and marketed under the
"Jeff Foxworthy's Backyard Bar-B-Q Sauce" brand. The first three sauces
are:
Original Redneck. An original mild tomato and molasses based sauce.
Redneck Hot. A hot spicier version of "Original Redneck" sauce.
Tangy Mustard. A tangy mustard based sauce that was developed to be
used as a barbecue sauce, salad dressing and a dipping sauce.
The Company has entered into an agreement with PicNik Foods, Inc. located in
Montgomery, Alabama to manufacture these sauces. It is believed that this
manufacturer has sufficient capacity to process, pack and ship the
anticipated sales volume of the sauces. Other manufacturers are available to
manufacture the sauces, if needed.
The Company has determined the retail and wholesale prices of its products,
however, the prices vary from store to store.
The Company has retained food brokers to assist the Company in the
development and distribution of products expected to be developed that are
related to the menu and concept.
Marketing. The Company shall rely primarily on print, television and radio
advertising along with sampling at retail outlets to initially attract
customers to buy its products and, in the future, to eat at its restaurants.
The Company may also use distinctive exterior signage and off-site
billboards.
Promotion Agreement. On February 4, 1997, the Company entered into a
promotion agreement with Jeff Foxworthy whereby the Mr. Foxworthy will
provide the Company with certain promotional appearances and services. For
a period of five years, Mr. Foxworthy agrees to serve, without charge, but
subject to applicable union and guild minimums, as the feature actor in four
commercials per year promoting the restaurants and the franchise. The
commercials may be aired on local or national television or radio or both.
During the term of the agreement, Mr. Foxworthy shall not directly or
indirectly provide promotional appearances or services to any business which
competes with the Company's business of owning and managing restaurants that
feature barbecue style as their primary cuisine and marketing and selling
barbecue-related food products. The promotion agreement has the same
termination features as the License Agreement discussed above.
Consulting Agreement. On February 4, 1997, the Company entered into a
consulting agreement with J.P. Williams to provide the Company with
consulting advice and services with respect to the promotion and
merchandising of the Company's proposed restaurants and the food products of
the Company. The Company pays J. P. Williams an annual consulting fee
of $10,000, as a base fee. In addition to the base fee plus reasonable
expenses, J.P. Williams may be entitled to a potential bonus, the amount of
which, if any, shall be determined by the Board of Directors of the Company,
in its sole and absolute discretion.
Additionally, Mr. Williams has been granted options to acquire 540,000 shares
of common stock of the Company. Mr. William's interest in such options shall
vest in equal monthly installments on the first day of each month over the
three year term of the consulting agreement. The options expire ten years
from the date of the grant.
Distribution. The Company's products are specifically designed for national
distribution through grocery stores, gift shops, discount outlets and
restaurants.
<PAGE>5
Buyer-Broker Agreement. On April 16, 1997, the Company entered into a
Buyer-Broker agreement with Business Intermediary Services, Ltd., a business
controlled by Mr. Erich Schmid, a director of the Company, to locate
businesses or properties to be purchased by the Company. The term of the
agreement is twenty four (24) months. Pursuant to the Buyer-Broker
Agreement, the Company shall pay an accomplishment fee based on a percentage
of the total purchase price paid by the Company. The accomplishment fee
structure is:
5% of total purchase price up to $1,000,000; plus
4% of total purchase price between $1,000,000 and $2,000,000; plus
3% of total purchase price between $2,000,000 and $3,000,000; plus
2% of total purchase price between $3,000,000 and $4,000,000; plus
1% of total purchase price in excess of $4,000,000.
Pursuant to this agreement, the Company paid Business Intermediary Services,
Ltd. $30,000 on February 16, 1998 in connection with the acquisition of the
Asheville, North Carolina restaurant. Additionally, Business Intermediary
Services, Ltd. will be entitled to a fee in the event the acquisition of
Woody's Bar-B-Q, Inc. is consummated.
Stock Purchase Letter Agreement. On September 11, 1998, the Company
obtained an extension relating to its ongoing negotiations to
acquire all of the stock of Woody's Bar-B-Q Holdings, Inc., a 33-
unit chain based in Jacksonville Florida. To obtain this extension,
the Company agreed to release to the selling shareholders of Woody's
$805,630, representing the net funds held in escrow at that time.
The Company expects to pay a total of $2,000,000 in cash plus
approximately $3,400,000 of Convertible Promissory Notes (the
"Notes") bearing interest at 10% and maturing in one year. The
final purchase price is subject to adjustment based upon a closing
balance sheet audit. The Notes are convertible into Common Stock
at the lower of $2.93 per Common Share or the average daily closing
prices for the 30 days prior to conversion. Additionally, the
Company will issue Warrants to the Selling Shareholders to acquire
500,000 shares of the Company's Common Stock at the lower of $1.71
(the bid price of the Company's Common Stock on September 24, 1998, the date
a further extension was executed) or the Conversion Price identified in the
Notes. Mr. David Womick, President of Redneck Foods, Inc., and his wife
have also agreed to guarantee the Notes and they have agreed to pledge
1,000,000 of their Redneck Common Shares as additional collateral. The
Company and the Sellers extended the closing 3 times until October 8, 1998
to facilitate the raising of the necessary capital to close the
transaction. The agreement has been verbally extended while the parties
finalize negotiations regarding the purchase by the Company of a percentage
interest in Woody's equal to the cash the Company has already delivered to
the Woody's shareholders and negotiations of a management agreement based
upon the parties desire to have the Company manage the affairs of Woody's
until the final closing can occur.
The Company is attempting to raise the required cash through a
private placement of convertible debentures. The Company
authorized up to $3,000,000 in aggregate principal amount of Series
1 Secured Convertible Debentures Due 2001 (the "Debentures"). The
Debentures bear interest at 5% per annum, payable quarterly, and are
redeemable at 125% of the principal amount so redeemed. Subsequent
to June 30, 1998, $1,275,000 in Debentures has been sold.
Joint Venture Agreement. The Company has entered into a joint venture with
Pigs"R"Us, Inc., a Florida corporation to be called Redneck Pigs Joint
Venture 1. The sole purpose of the joint venture is to create a single
barbecue restaurant on property under lease by Pigs"R"Us. The parties
agreed to convert the venture into a limited liability company as soon as
practicable and to jointly plan, operate and own the pilot restaurant. The
Company will sublicense to the venture certain rights under its license
agreement and contribute capital. The Company has contributed $50,000 to
this joint venture. No additional contributions will be made under the
current agreement. The Company will own a 10% interest in the venture. The
Company shall be paid a consulting fee of 3% of gross sales in addition to
its available distributions based on its ownership interest. Certain
options and rights for both parties in the joint venture are established by
the contractual agreement. The Company plans to acquire the remaining
interest in the joint venture in the fourth quarter of 1998 pursuant to an
agreement with the joint venture partner whereby shares of Common Stock will
be issued after the completion of an audit. The Company has agreed to
manage the operations untio the final audit is complete.
Dependence on One or a Few Major Customers. The Company does not expect
that any single customer will account for more than ten percent of its
business.
The Company is a newly formed company, which currently intends to acquire and
operate barbecue restaurants to be known as "Foxworthy's Smoke House Grill"
or "Foxworthy's Backyard Bar-B-Q," The Company intends initially to acquire
existing barbecue restaurants for conversion to one of the two restaurant
concepts. The Company also intends to market and distribute barbecue
sauces and salsas under trademarks using the "Foxworthy" name and may also,
at a later time, distribute other food products which are related to the
restaurant menu.
<PAGE>6
In February, 1998, the Company entered into a contract to acquire the real
estate, the equipment and leasehold interest of a barbecue restaurant in
Asheville, North Carolina to be connected to a Foxworthy's Smoke House Grill.
The Company did not acquire the operating business of the restaurant. The
Company issued 223,333 shares of Common Stock valued at $3.00 per Common
Share for the equipment and the leasehold interest and has contracted to
acquire the real estate for $550,000 in cash. A deposit of $42,352 has been
paid against the purchase price and the Company expects to close on the real
estate prior to the end of 1998.
Research and Development. The Company has expended in excess of $61,700
for research and development activities. These amounts include $35,000 in
consulting expense and $26,700 in contract services. In the future, the
Company anticipates that a portion of the proceeds from this offering will be
used to conduct additional research and development activities.
Competition. The restaurant and food product industries are highly
competitive with respect to price, service, quality and location and, as a
result, has a high failure rate. There are numerous well-established
competitors, including national, regional and local restaurant chains,
possessing substantially greater financial, marketing, personnel and other
resources than the Company. Furthermore, to the extent that barbecue
restaurants are frequently viewed as "local", the Company may experience
intense competition or lack of consumer acceptance if it expands into areas
with existing barbecue restaurants. There can be no assurance that the
Company will be able to respond to various competitive factors affecting the
restaurant industry. The restaurant and food industries are also
generally affected by changes in consumer preferences, national, regional and
local economic conditions and demographic trends. The performance of
restaurant facilities may also be affected by factors such as traffic
patterns, demographic considerations and the type, number and location of
competing facilities. In addition, factors such as inflation, increased
labor and employee benefit costs, and a lack of availability of experience
management and hourly employees may also adversely affect the restaurant and
food industries in general and the Company's restaurants and food products,
in particular. Restaurant operating costs are further affected by increases
in the minimum hourly wage, unemployment tax rates and similar matters over
which the Company has no control. Finally, by the nature of its business,
the Company would be subject to potential liability from serving contaminated
or improperly prepared food.
Employees. The Company employs thirteen full time persons. The Company
shall employ additional individuals as required.
Governmental Regulation. The restaurant and food product business is
subject to various federal, state and local government regulations, including
those relating to sanitation, safety, fire and the sale of food and alcoholic
beverages. The failure to maintain food and liquor licenses would have a
material adverse effect on the Company's operating results. In addition,
restaurant and food production operating costs are affected by increases in
the minimum hourly wage, unemployment tax rates, sales taxes and similar
costs over which the Company has no control. Many of the Company's
personnel will be paid at rates based on the federal minimum wage. Recent
increases in the minimum wage are not expected to materially impact the
Company's labor costs. The Company will be subject to "dram shop" statutes
in certain states which generally allow a person injured by an intoxicated
person to recover damages from an establishment that served alcoholic
beverages to such intoxicated person. As appropriate, the Company shall
seek to obtain liability insurance against such potential liability.
The Federal Americans With Disabilities Act prohibits discrimination on basis
of disability in public accommodations and employment. The Company could be
required to expend funds to modify its restaurants in order to provide
service to or make reasonable accommodations for disabled persons.
The Company will be subject to environmental rules, particularly with respect
to preventing water pollution. The Company plans to recycle cooking grease
to prevent water pollution.
Seasonal Nature of Business Activities. The Company's business activities
are not seasonal.
Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis or Plan of Operation
Trends and Uncertainties. Demand for the Company's products, franchises and
success of its restaurants will be dependent on, among other things, market
acceptance of the Company's concept, the quality of its food products and
restaurant operations and general economic conditions which are cyclical in
nature. Inasmuch as a major portion of the Company's activities is the
receipt of revenues from the sales of its products, the Company's business
operations may be adversely affected by the Company's competitors and
prolonged recessionary periods.
Capital and Source of Liquidity. The Company requires substantial capital
in order to meet its ongoing corporate obligations and in order to continue
and expand its current and strategic business plans. Initial working
capital has been obtained from the initial sale of the Company's common
shares in July 1997 for $.75 per share which raised $156,000, an offering
<PAGE>7
netting approximately $899,000 for 920,000 shares of common stock at $1.00
per share pursuant to Regulation D, Rule 504 and additional capital of
$775,000 from the subsequent sale of common stock.
Additionally, since inception the Company has issued 2,500,000 Series A
Preferred Shares (for promotional services valued at $50,000), founders stock
of 5,100,000 common shares and 1,524,000 common shares for various services
with an aggregate value of approximately $446,000. The 2,500,000 Series A
Convertible Preferred Shares were converted into common stock of the Company
in June 1998 in accordance with the preferred stock agreement upon obtaining
certain capitalization thresholds.
For the six months ended June 30, 1998, the Company purchased office and
restaurant equipment totaling $34,326 and received proceeds from disposal of
equipment of $1,200. The Company also invested an additional $15,000 in a
joint venture with Pigs"R"Us and paid expenses of approximately $28,000 which
are to be reimbursed by the joint venture. The Company has also paid an
additional earnest deposit of $50,000 toward a potential restaurant chain
acquisition and a $42,000 deposit on real estate to be acquired under an
asset purchase agreement. As a result these activities, the Company used
cash for investing activities of approximately $207,000 for the six months
ended June 30, 1998.
For the six months ended June 30, 1998, the Company received
proceeds from short-term borrowings of $12,000 which were repaid. The
Company also received net proceeds from the sale of an additional 428,500
shares of common stock of $775,000. As a result, the Company had net cash
provided by financing activities of $775,000 for the six months ended June
30, 1998.
For the six months ended June 30, 1997, the Company had no investing or
financing during its initial period of inception.
The Company did begin selling its sauces through Wal-Mart Supercenters and
other retailers in December, 1997. Capital is needed to finance the
production of inventory and receivables for approximately 30 days of sales.
In March, 1998, the Company, through its joint venture partner, Pigs"R"Us,
opened its first restaurant, a Foxworthy's Backyard Bar-B-Q. As of June 30,
1998, the Company has invested $50,000 in the joint venture. Additionally,
the Company has spent considerable funds in continuing to refine the
products, including the gift shop selections, at this unit. A portion of
such costs incurred directly for the benefit of the joint venture, have been
billed to the joint venture. All other costs have been expensed or have
been capitalized as development costs. On September 17, 1998 the joint
venture was terminated. The parties jointly executed a Bill of Sale which
transfers and assigns all property of the Joint Venture to the Company on its
individual proprietary capacity.
On September 11, 1998, the Company obtained an extension relating to
its ongoing negotiations to acquire all of the stock of Woody's Bar-
B-Q Holdings, Inc., a 33-unit chain based in Jacksonville Florida.
To obtain this extension, the Company agreed to release to the
selling shareholders of Woody's $870,630, representing the net funds
held in escrow at that time. The Company expects to pay a total of
$2,000,000 in cash plus approximately $3,400,000 of Convertible
Promissory Notes ("the Notes") bearing interest at 10% and maturing
in one year. The final purchase price is subject to adjustment
based upon a closing balance sheet audit. The Notes are
convertible into Common Stock at the lower of $2.93 per Common Share
or the average daily closing prices for the 30 days prior to
conversion. Additionally, the Company will issue Warrants to the
Selling Shareholders to acquire 500,000 shares of the Company's
Common Stock at the lower of $1.71 (the bid price of the Company's Common
Stock on September 24, 1998, the date a further extension was executed) or
the Conversion Price identified in the Notes. Mr. David Womick, President
of Redneck Foods, Inc., and his wife have also agreed to guarantee the Notes
and they have agreed to pledge 1,000,000 of their Redneck Common
Shares as additional collateral. The Company and the Sellers
extended the closing 3 times until October 8, 1998 to facilitate the
raising of the necessary capital to close the transaction. The agreement has
been verbally extended while the parties finalize negotiations regarding the
purchase by the Company of a percentage interest in Woody's equal to the cash
the Company has already delivered to the Woody's shareholders and
negotiations of a management agreement based upon the parties desire to have
the Company manage the affairs of Woody's until the final closing can occur.
The Company is attempting to raise the required cash through a
private placement of convertible debentures. The Company
authorized up to $3,000,000 in aggregate principal amount of Series
1 Secured Convertible Debentures Due 2001 (the "Debentures"). The
Debentures bear interest at 5% per annum, payable quarterly, and are
redeemable at 125% of the principal amount so redeemed. Subsequent
to June 30, 1998, $1,271,200 in Debentures has been sold.
The Company also entered into an agreement to acquire the leasehold estate
and equipment of an existing Bar-B-Q restaurant in Asheville, North Carolina
that is being converted to a Foxworthy's Smokehouse Grill and will serve as
the Company's first corporate unit and as its training and product
<PAGE>8
development center. The Company acquired the leasehold and equipment for
$670,000 and expects to spend approximately $210,000 on the conversion. The
unit will open in the fourth quarter of 1998.
Upon the completion of the additional $1,200,000 financing required for the
Woody's acquisition, the Company will have completed its capital requirements
for the initial phase of its operational development. However, additional
capital will be required to fund the ongoing corporate development until such
time as other acquisitions or internal growth can be achieved for future
restaurant development and/or future acquisitions that may become available.
In the next twelve months, The Company intends to pursue expansion by
internal growth or acquisition as capital or business opportunities become
available. Based on current corporate development expenditure levels, the
Company expects to require additional capital in the next twelve months of
approximately $1,000,000 or more, including the cost to convert the Asheville
restaurant to a Foxworthy's Smokehouse Grill.
Results of Operations. For the six months ended June 30, 1998, the Company
had a net loss of $1,042,348. This loss results from continued selling,

agreement were to have been issued in February 1997. However, it was
determined that the exercise price was incorrectly described in the

the value of the shares at the time of the original agreement and was in fact
in excess of the valuation assigned in February 1997 which was $.10 per
share.

ITEM 5. INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS
Indemnification. The Company shall indemnify to the fullest extent permitted
by, and in the manner permissible under the laws of the State of Delaware,
any person made, or threatened to be made, a party to an action or
proceeding, whether criminal, civil, administrative or investigative, by
reason of the fact that he is or was a director or officer of the Company, or
served any other enterprise as director, officer or employee at the request
of the Company. The Board of Directors, in its discretion, shall have the
power on behalf of the Company to indemnify any person, other than a director
or officer, made a party to any action, suit or proceeding by reason of the
fact that he/she is or was an employee of the Company.
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Act may be
permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the Company, the
Company has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange
Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the
Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for
indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the
Company of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling
person of the Company in the successful defense of any action, suit or
proceedings) is asserted by such director, officer, or controlling person in
connection with any securities being registered, the Company will, unless in
the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling
precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether
such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Act
and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issues.
INDEMNIFICATION OF OFFICERS OR PERSONS CONTROLLING THE CORPORATION FOR
LIABILITIES ARISING UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, IS HELD TO BE AGAINST
PUBLIC POLICY BY THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION AND IS THEREFORE
UNENFORCEABLE.
GENERAL - YEAR 2000 ISSUES
The Company has conducted a comprehensive review of its computer systems to
identify any business functions that could be affected by the "Year 2000"
issue. As the millennium ("Year 2000") approaches, businesses may experience
problems as the result of computer programs being written using two digits
<PAGE>18
rather than four to define the applicable year. The Company has conducted a
comprehensive review of its computer systems to identify those areas that
could be affected by the "Year 2000" issue. Any of the Company's programs
that have time-sensitive software may recognize a date using "00" as the year
1900 rather than the year 2000. If not corrected, this could result in
extensive miscalculations or a major system failure.
The Company relies on industry standard software. Certain manufacturers
have already provided the Company with upgraded software to address the "Year
2000" issue and the Company believes that its remaining software manufactures
will modify their programs accordingly. In the event the remaining
manufacturers do not upgrade their software packages, the Company will
replace such software with programs that address the "Year 2000" issue. The
Company believes that by modifying existing software and converting to new
software, the "Year 2000" issue will not pose significant operational
problems and is not anticipated to require additional expenditures that would
materially impact its financial position or results of operations in any
given year.

REDNECK FOODS, INC.
(A Development Stage Company)
Notes to Financial Statements
December 31, 1997
1. Organization
Nature of Operations - Redneck Foods. Inc. (the "Company") is a development
stage company that was incorporated on January 31, 1997 in the state of
Delaware. The Company currently intends to acquire and operate barbecue
restaurants to be known as "Foxworthy's Smoke House Grill" or "Foxworthy's
Backyard Bar-B-Q". It plans to initially acquire existing barbecue
restaurants for conversion to one of the two restaurant concepts. The Company
also intends to produce, market, and distribute food products using the
"Foxworthy" name. Operations to date have consisted of the efforts to
negotiate agreements with Jeff Foxworthy and raise the initial capital
necessary to fund sales and marketing efforts, research and development of
food products, inventory and initial start-up expenses. The Company has
elected to end its fiscal year on December 31.
2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
The following is a summary of the more significant accounting policies used
in the preparation of the accompanying financial statements.
Basis of Presentation - The accounting principles followed by the Company and
the methods of applying these principles conform with the generally accepted
accounting principles (GAAP) and with general industry practices.
Estimates - The preparation of financial statements in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make
estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and
liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date
of the financial statements. Estimates also affect the reported amounts of
revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could
differ from those estimates.
Cash and Cash Equivalents - Cash includes cash on hand and deposits at
financial institutions with an initial maturity of three months or less. At
time the Company has cash and cash equivalents which are not covered by
federal deposit insurance. The Company believes it is not exposed to any
significant credit risk on cash and cash equivalents.
Inventories - Inventories are stated at cost determined by the first-in
first-out (FIFO) method.
Office equipment - Office equipment is carried at cost less accumulated
depreciation. Depreciation is provided for financial reporting purposes
principally on the straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of the
respective assets.
Repairs and maintenance are charged to earnings as incurred. Expenditures
for renewals and betterments are capitalized. The assets and accumulated
depreciation accounts are relieved of the gross amounts with respect to items
replaced, retired or disposed of otherwise. Gains and losses from disposals
are reflected in operations.
Organizational Cost- The organizational cost will be amortized on a straight-
line basis over five years after the first store commences Operations.
Income Taxes - The Company utilizes the liability method of computing income
taxes in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 109,
"Accounting for Income Taxes" (SFAS 109). Under the liability method,
deferred tax liabilities and assets are established for future 'ax return
effects of temporary differences between the stated value of assets and
liabilities for reporting purposes and their tax basis adjusted for tax rate
changes. The focus is on accruing the appropriate balance sheet deferred tax
amount, with the statement of operations effect being the result of changes
in balance sheet amounts from period to period. Current income tax expense is
provided upon actual tax liability incurred for tax return purposes.
Stock-Based Compensation - Transactions in which goods or services are the
consideration received for the issuance of equity instruments have been
accounted for based on the fair value of the consideration received or the
fair value of the equity instruments issued, whichever is more reliably
measurable. Transactions with employees and non-employee directors have been
accounted for within the scope of APB Opinion 25.
Net loss per Common Share - Basic net loss per common share was computed by
dividing the net loss by the weighted average number of common shares
outstanding during the period in accordance with Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards No. 128. "Earnings Per Share" (SFAS 128). Net loss
available to the common stockholders for the basic loss per share computation
is the net loss report in the statement of operations. The conversion of the
convertible preferred stock and stock equivalents for the stock options would
have no dilutive effect, therefore only the basic net loss per share has been
presented.
<PAGE>27
Impact of New Accounting Pronouncement - During 1997, the Financial
Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards
No. 130, "Reporting Comprehensive Income" (SFAS 130). SFAS 130 provides
accounting and reporting standards for displaying comprehensive income and
components of comprehensive income n a complete set of financial statements.
SFAS 130 addresses reporting and display only and is effective for fiscal
years beginning after December 15, 1997. The adoption of SEAS 130 is not
expected to have a material impact on the Company's financial statements.
3. Prepaid Expenses
Prepaid expenses consist of the following:
Prepaid insurance $ 17,122
Prepaid consulting 50,000
Total 67,122
Prepaid consulting is cash payments on two consulting agreements for which
services are anticipated to be provided during the next twelve months. The
portion of these prepayments for services which will be fulfilled after that
time have been classified as other assets.
4. Investment in Joint Venture
The Company has entered into a joint venture with Pigs "R" Us, Inc. (A
Florida Corporation) to be called 'Redneck Pigs Joint Venture l". The sole
purpose of the joint venture is create a single barbecue restaurant on
property under lease by Pigs "R" Us. The parties agreed to convert the
venture into a limited liability company as soon as practicable and to
jointly plan, operate and own the pilot restaurant. The Company will
sublicense to the venture certain rights under its license agreement and
contribute capital. The Company has contributed $35,000 to this joint
venture. The Company will own a 10% interest in the venture and therefore
the investment will be accounted for using the cost method. The Company
shall be paid a consulting fee of 3% of gross sales in addition to its
available distributions based on its ownership interest. Certain options and
rights for both parities in the joint venture are established by the
contractual agreement.
5. Other Assets
Included in other assets are prepaid expenses and other assets consist of the
following:
Escrow deposit $ 25,000
Organization cost 3,000
Product/Restaurant design expenses 99,853
Prepaid offering expense 9,000
Prepaid consulting 45,000
Deposits and other prepaid expenses 2,104
Total 183,957
The escrow deposit was made in connection with negotiations with a barbecue
restaurant chain which the Company is currently seeking to acquire.
6. Accrued expenses and other liabilities
Salaries and wages have been accrued for certain executives of the Company
under their employment agreements. These accrued salaries and wages will be
paid upon the acquisition of $2.5 million in initial capital. Currently, the
Company has included in accrued expenses and other liabilities approximately
$59,000 in unpaid salaries and related payroll taxes under these agreements.
7. Income Taxes
The Company plans to file its federal and State income tax returns on a
calendar year basis. No provision for income tax benefit has been provided
for in the accompanying statement of operations because of the Company's
uncertainty regarding the utilization of its operating losses. Accordingly,
a valuation allowance for the deferred tax asset has been recognized at
December 31, 1997.
The difference between actual income tax benefit and the amount computed by
applying the federal statutory income tax rate of 34% to loss before income
tax benefit is reconciled as follows:
Computed income tax benefit $ (223,000)
(Increase) decrease resulting from:
Nondeductible compensation cost recognized for
financial statement purposes 36,000
Valuation allowance for net operating losses 187,000
Actual income tax benefit $ -
At December 31, 1997, deferred tax assets consist primarily of net operating
losses accumulated since inception. The following summarizes the expected
tax consequences of future taxable events due to differences in bases of
assets and liabilities for financial reporting and income tax purposes as of
December 31, 1997.
Gross deferred tax asset $ (187,000)
Less valuation allowance 187,000
Net deferred tax asset $ -
<PAGE>28
At December 31, 1997, the Company has net operating losses of approximately
$545,000 which will expire 2012.
8. Stockholder' Equity
Convertible Preferred Stock - In February 1997, the Company entered into an
agreement which was contractually valued at $50,000 for the use of Jeff
Foxworthy's name and character. The agreement contains a license agreement
as well as a promotional agreement. The license agreement allows the Company
to use his character and name in its marketing efforts. This agreement has a
term of fifty (50) years. The promotional agreement states that Mr.
Foxworthy will provide a certain number of promotional appearance over a five
year period. The entire value of the contract has been assigned to the
promotional agreement and is currently reflected as unearned services in
stockholders equity on the accompanying balance sheet and will be expensed as
promotional services are provided.
In consideration for this agreement, the Company issued 2,500,000 shares of
Class A convertible preferred stock to Mr. Foxworthy. These shares are
convertible into common stock once initial capitalization of $2.5 million is
reached. The conversion ratio is equal to twenty-five percent of the
outstanding shares of common stock on an as converted basis. Upon the
execution of the agreement 1,666,667 shares of the preferred stock were non-
forfeitable by Mr. Foxworthy and the residual 833,333 shares shall become
non-forfeitable ratably over the next five years as the promotional agreement
is satisfied. The convertible preferred stock issued was valued at S.02 per
share.
Common Stock - In February 1997, the Company entered into an agreement to
sell 5,100,000 shares of founders stock to David Womick which was assigned a
value of $.02 per share. In lieu of cash payment and in consideration for
the stock purchased by him from the Company, Mr. Womick agreed to be the
Company's Chief Executive Officer for a period of five years. The employment
services to be rendered have been valued at $102,000 and will be recognized
as compensation in the accompanying statement of operations as earned. Of
the total 5.1 million shares issued, 3.4 million shares are not subject to
forfeiture and the remaining 1.7 million shares subject to forfeiture are
reduced ratably on the first day of each month over a three year period.
In June 1997, the Company entered into two consulting contacts that provided
for the issuance of 1,000,000 shares of common stock in lieu of cash for
consulting services to be rendered. The consulting contracts established a
fair market value conversion rate for the services at $.10 per share. One of
the parties to the consulting contracts subsequently became a director of the
Company. The 200,000 shares issued to this director have been earned and is
restricted common stock pursuant to Rule 144 of the Securities and Exchange
Act of 1933 (the "Act").
In June 1997, the Company also issued restricted stock pursuant to the Act in
consideration for directors fees and services in accordance with various
employment contracts. The aggregate shares issued under these agreements
constituted 416,000 shares of common stock and were valued at $.10 per share
commensurate with the external consulting contracts. Shares issued to
officers have been expensed as services were provided.
In July 1997, the Company sold 156,000 shares of stock to various individuals
for cash at $.75 per share to raise start-up capital. All of the shares of
stock sold have been classified as restricted stock. There was no cost
associated with raising this start-up capital.
The Company has issued in aggregate 772,000 shares of common stock which are
restricted for two years pursuant to Rule 144 of the Act. These restricted
shares allowed the Company to qualify for an exemption from the registration
requirements of the Act and thus file an offering under Rule 504 of
Regulation D as noted below.
In October 1997, the Company completed an offering under Rule 504 of
Regulation D of the Act and sold 920,000 shares of common stock at $1.00 per
share. The costs associated with raising this capital was approximately
$21,000.

over the term of the options.
The Company has not adopted any plans as of December 31, 1997 to grant
options to employees or non-employee directors. In accordance with Statement
of Financial Accounting Standard No. 123 (SFAS 123) "Accounting for Stock-
Based Compensation", the Company has elected to continue to measure employee
compensation cost for the accompanying statement of operations using APB
Opinion No. 25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees". See Note 7 for
discussion of common shares issued to employees and non-employee directors
for services in 1997.
10. Commitments and Contingencies
The Company has entered into employment contracts with certain of its key
employees as well as a license and promotional agreement with Mr. Foxworthy.
These contacts vary in length from three to fifty years in duration.
All contracts with the key employees are considered void if the $2.5 million
of initial capital is not obtained. In the event full initial capital has
not been raised by June 30, 1998, Mr. Foxworthy has the right to withdraw the
use of his name and likeness. Should this event happen, the Company would be
required to discontinue the use of all licensed material. This would require
changing the name of the any restaurants and products. The Company has
limited operating history and the sales of its products and revenues from its
proposed restaurants are currently dependent on the use of the licensed
material.
The Company's operations is also dependent on its ability to raise additional
capital through an anticipated SB-2 registration offering. This additional
capital will be necessary for restaurant acquisitions, marketing and product
development, and general operations.
The Company leases its administrative office facilities under a short-term
operating lease. Rent expense for the period ending December 31, 1997 was
approximately $8,900.

REDNECK FOODS, INC.
(A Development Stage Company)
Notes to Unaudited Interim Financial Statements
June 30, 1998 and 1997
1. Organization
Nature of Operations - Redneck Foods. Inc. (the "Company") is a development
stage company that was incorporated on January 31, 1997 in the state of
Delaware. The Company currently intends to acquire and operate barbecue
restaurants to be known as "Foxworthy's Smoke House Grill" or "Foxworthy's
Backyard Bar-B-Q". The Company intends to initially acquire existing
barbecue restaurants for conversion to one of the two restaurant concepts.
The Company also intends to market and distribute food products using the
"Foxworthy" name.
2. Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited financial statements were prepared in accordance
with instructions for Form 10-QSB and, therefore, do not include all
disclosures necessary for a complete presentation of the balance sheets,
statements of operations, and statements of cash flows in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles. However, all adjustments which
are, in the opinion of management, necessary for the fair presentation of the
interim financial statements have been included. All such adjustments are
of a normal recurring nature. The statements of operations for the interim
periods are not necessarily indicative of the results which may be expected
for the entire year.
It is suggested that these unaudited financial statements be read in
conjunction with the audited financial statements and notes thereto for the
Company for the year ended December 31, 1997.
3. Income Taxes
The Company plans to file its federal and State income tax returns on a
calendar year basis. No provision for income tax benefit has been provided
for in the accompanying statement of operations because of the Company's
uncertainty regarding the utilization of its operating losses. Accordingly,
a valuation allowance for the deferred tax asset has been recognized at
June 30, 1998.
<R.
4. Joint Venture
In March, 1998, the Company, through its joint venture partner, Pigs"R"Us,
opened its first restaurant, a Foxworthy's Backyard Bar-B-Q. As of June 30,
1998, the Company has invested $50,000 in the joint venture. Additionally,
the Company has spent considerable funds in continuing to refine the
products, including the gift shop selections, at this unit. A portion of
such costs incurred directly for the benefit of the joint venture, have been
billed to the joint venture. All other costs have been expensed or have
been capitalized as development costs. On September 17, 1998 the joint
venture was terminated. The parties jointly executed a Bill of Sale which
transfers and assigns all property of the Joint Venture to the Company on its
individual proprietary capacity.
5. Prepaid Expenses and Other Assets
Prepaid expenses and other assets consist of the following at June 30, 1998:
Deposits $ 6,594
Real estate deposit 42,352
Restaurant design and architectural fees 138,793
Organizational cost 3,000
Earnest deposit for business acquisition 75,000
---------
$265,739
=========
The Company has deposited earnest monies of $75,000 with the owner of a
barbecue restaurant chain for the opportunity to negotiate a potential
acquisition. As of June 30, 1998, Company management and the owner were
still negotiating a potential deal and upon a successful acquisition the
earnest monies will be applied toward the purchase price.
6. Stockholders' Equity
In June 1998, the 2,500,000 shares of convertible preferred stock were
converted into 2,904,722 shares of common stock in accordance with the
preferred stock agreement.
During the six months ending June 30, 1998, the Company also issued 223,333
shares of common stock under an asset purchase agreement with an assigned
value of $670,000 to the owners of a barbecue restaurant in Asheville, North
Carolina. The stock issued was in consideration for a five year noncompete
agreement valued at $70,000, goodwill valued at $500,000 and various
<PAGE>35
restaurant equipment valued at $100,000. The Company anticipates completing
the acquisition of the land, building and improvements sometime in the third
or fourth quarter of 1998. As of June 30, 1998, the Company had deposited
with the sellers $42,352 toward the purchase price of the real property.
This deposit is presented in other assets on the accompanying balance sheet.
7. New Accounting Pronouncement
In April 1998, the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants issued
Statement of Position ("SOP") 98-5, "Reporting on the Cost of Start-up
Activities". The SOP requires that the cost of start-up activities, or one-
time activities that relate to the opening of a new facility and
organizational cost be expensed as incurred instead of being capitalized.
This SOP must be implemented by no later than the first quarter of 1999 at
which time the write-off of any unamortized pre-opening costs or organization
cost will be reported as a cumulative effect of a change in accounting
principle in the statement of operations.
8. Commitments and Contingencies
The agreements with Mr. Foxworthy provided that the Company had not raised
$2,500,000 of initial capital by June 30, 1998, Mr. Foxworthy had the right
to withdraw the use of his name and likeness. As of June 7, 1998, the
initial capital had been raised and, accordingly, this contingency was
removed.
