                      THE HAVANA GROUP, INC. AND SUBSIDIARY
                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                   (Unaudited)

Note 1.  Business Description and Principles of Consolidation

     The Havana Group,  Inc. (Havana) is in the mail order and Internet business
and sells to customers  throughout the United States. The Company sells tobacco,
cigars, smoking pipes and accessories.  Products are purchased from a variety of
manufacturers. The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of The
Havana  Group,  Inc.,  and its wholly  owned  subsidiary,  Monarch  Pipe Company
(collectively, "the Company"). Monarch manufactures smoking pipes and sells them
exclusively to Havana. All significant  inter-company  accounts and transactions
have been eliminated in consolidation

Note 2.  Basis of Presentation

     A. The accompanying  unaudited  financial  statements have been prepared by
the Company.  Certain information and footnote  disclosures normally included in
financial  statements  prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles  have been  condensed  or omitted.  In the  opinion of the  Company's
management,  the disclosures made are adequate to make the information presented
not  misleading,   and  the  consolidated   financial   statements  contain  all
adjustments  necessary to present fairly the financial  position as of March 31,
2000,  the results of  operations  for the three month  periods  ended March 31,
2000,  and March 31, 1999 and cash flows for the three month periods ended March
31,  2000 and March 31,  1999.  The  results of  operations  for the three month
period is not necessarily  indicative of the results to be expected for the full
year.

     Per Share Amounts - The number of shares outstanding in computing basic and
diluted earnings per share for the three-month  periods ended March 31, 2000 and
1999 was 2,345,000 and 1,860,000 respectively.

     B. Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

     In June 1999,  the  Financial  Accounting  Standards  Board  (FASB)  issued
Statement of Financial  Accounting  Standards  (SFAS) No. 137,  "Accounting  for
Derivative  Instruments and Hedging  Activities - Deferral of the Effective Date
of FASB  Statement  No. 133 - an  amendment  of FASB  Statement  No. 133," which
postponed  the  effective  date of SFAS  No.  133,  "Accounting  for  Derivative
Financial  Instruments  and Hedging  Activities,"  to all fiscal years beginning
after June 15,  2000.  The Company  does not  anticipate  having  these types of
hedges, and the effect of adoption is expected to be immaterial.

     The Accounting  Standards  Executive Committee issued Statement of Position
(SOP) 98-1, "Accounting for the Costs of Computer Software Developed or Obtained
for  Internal  Use,"  and  SOP  98-5,   "Reporting  on  the  Costs  of  Start-Up
Activities,"  which are effective for years  beginning  after Dec. 31, 1998. The
Company's  adoption  of SOP  98-1 and SOP 98-5  had no  material  effect  on its
results of operations or financial position.

     In December 1999, the  Securities  and Exchange  Commission  issued SAB101,
"Revenue  Recognition  in  Financial  Statements"  SAB101  provides  guidance on
applying generally accepted accounting  principles to revenue recognition issues
in financial  statements.  This  statement is effective in the second quarter of
2000.  The  Company  is  evaluating  the  effect  the  adoption  may have on the
Company's consolidated results of operations and financial position.

Note 3.  Agreement with Affiliated Company

     Effective  January 1, 1997, the Company  contracted  with Kids Stuff,  Inc.
("Kids"),  a subsidiary of Duncan Hill,  Inc., to provide  telemarketing,  order
fulfillment,  data processing and certain administrative  functions. The Company
is  charged  for  its  portion  of the  expenses  on a  direct  cost  basis,  as
applicable, or on a pro rata basis. Actual costs are those direct costs that can
be charged on a per order or per hour basis,  fixed costs are allocated on a pro
rata basis by dividing  the total  assets of the Company by the sum of the total
assets of the Company and Kids.

                                       7
<PAGE>
     At  January  1,  1999  the   agreement  was  modified  and  extended  on  a
month-to-month  basis  as the  Company  began  to  incur  direct  costs  for its
administrative  functions.  The  Company  pays  to  Kids  an  accounting,   data
processing, and administrative charge of $15,000 per year. Additionally, a $1.75
per shipment for warehouse  services was paid by Havana until March 8, 2000 when
Havana obtained their own warehousing facility and no longer required Kids Stuff
Inc.'s fulfillment services.

Note 4.  Stockholders' Equity

Common Stock

     The Havana  Group,  Inc.  has  25,000,000  shares of $.001 par value common
stock  authorized.  In  connection  with  reorganization,   the  Company  issued
1,000,000  common shares to its parent,  Duncan Hill, Inc. The holders of Common
shares are entitled to one vote on all stockholder matters.

     The Company is not currently subject to any contractual arrangements, which
restricts  its  ability to pay cash  dividends.  The  Company's  Certificate  of
Incorporation  prohibits the payment of cash  dividends on the Company's  Common
Stock in excess of $.05 per share per year so long as any Serial Preferred Stock
remains  outstanding unless all accrued and unpaid dividends on Serial Preferred
Stock  has been set  apart  and there  are no  arrearages  with  respect  to the
redemption of any Serial Preferred Stock.

     In Febuary 2000, Mr. Miller purchased  240,000  unregistered  shares of the
Company's  common  stock at a price of $.4044  per share for total  proceeds  of
approximately  $97,000.  In March 2000,  the Company sold  245,000  unregistered
common shares to seven investors in a private placement for $245,000.

     B. Series A Preferred Stock

     The Board of Directors has the  authority to issue up to 10,000,000  shares
of  Preferred  Stock in one or more series and to fix all  rights,  preferences,
privileges,  and  restrictions.  In  December  1997,  the Company  issued,  as a
dividend to Duncan  Hill,  Inc.,  5,000,000  shares of Series A Preferred  Stock
(Series A) to Duncan  Hill,  Inc.  The Series A holders are entitled to one vote
for each share held on all matters submitted to a vote of the stockholders.  The
Series A stock is not  subject to  redemption  and has no  conversion  rights or
rights to  participate  in dividend  payments.  In the event of any voluntary or
involuntary  liquidation  of the  Company,  each  share of  Series A stock has a
liquidation preference of $.001 per share.

     C. Series B Preferred Stock

     In December  1997,  the  Company  issued  1,100,000  shares of its Series B
Convertible  Preferred  Stock (Series B) to Duncan Hill. In return,  Duncan Hill
assumed a $300,000  liability due to an affiliate.  Series B has the same voting
privileges as the Common Stock. Each share of Series B stock is convertible into
one share of the  Company's  Common  Stock at the option of either the holder or
the Company upon reaching net pre-tax earnings of at least $500,000. If declared
by the  Board of  Directors,  Series B  shareholders  are  entitled  to  receive
quarterly  dividends of no more than $.025 per share,  payable out of surplus or
net profits of the Company.  As of November 10, 1999, the Board of Directors has
not declared any  dividends.  As the Series B Preferred pays a $.10 dividend per
share, the Company has recorded the Series B stock at $1.00 per share to reflect
its estimated fair value.  The Series B stock is not subject to  redemption.  In
the event of a voluntary or involuntary  liquidation of the Company,  each share
of Series B stock has a liquidation  preference of $.001,  which is subordinated
to the liquidation preference of the Series A stock.

     D. Class A Warrants

     As  of  March  31,  2000,  the  Company  has  2,858,000  Class  A  Warrants
outstanding,  which is comprised of 920,000 warrants  included in the units sold
in the  initial  public  offering  (see Note 8);  1,400,000  warrants  issued in
connection with the conversion of a note payable (see Note 4E); 138,000 warrants
issued to Duncan Hill in  replacement of warrants  issued in conjunction  with a
reorganization; and 400,000 warrants issued to Mr. William Miller, the Company's
CEO, as described in Note 5, 200,000 of which he currently owns.

                                       8
<PAGE>
     Each Class A Warrant  entitles  the Holder to purchase  one share of common
stock at a price of $5.25 and expires May 2003. The Company may redeem the Class
A Warrants  at a price of $.10 per  warrant,  upon not less than 30 days'  prior
written  notice,  if the closing bid price of the common stock has been at least
$10.50 per share for 20  consecutive  trading  days ending no more than the 15th
day prior to the date on which the notice of redemption is given.

Note 5. Employment Agreement

     In  December  1997,  the Company  and its CEO  entered  into an  employment
agreement,  which  among other  terms,  granted  the CEO  200,000  Common  Stock
Purchase  Warrants at $6.00 per share.  The warrants were converted into Class A
warrants upon the effectiveness of the Company's registration statement. The CEO
was also granted an option to purchase  200,000  shares of the Company's  Common
Stock,  which will vest 20% on each of the  following  dates:  December 1, 1997;
January  1,  1998;  January 1,  1999;  January  1,  2000;  and  January 1, 2001,
regardless  of whether the  executive  is employed on such dates by the Company.
The vested options will be immediately exercisable and will expire 10 years from
the date of the  agreement.  The exercise price of the options will be $6.00 per
share,  subject to downward  adjustments  in the  exercise  price if the Company
meets certain performance goals.

     At June 30, 1999 the  Company  and its CEO agreed to modify his  employment
agreement.  Pursuant  to the  modification,  the CEO  received  200,000  Class A
Warrants  identical to the Class A Warrants  issued to the public in May 1998 in
exchange for his waiver of base salary. The modification  agreement will require
the Company to register with the Securities  and Exchange  Commission the resale
of Mr. Miller's Class A Warrants.  See Note 4D for a description of the terms of
the Class A Warrants.

     The Company has entered into an employment  agreement effective February 1,
1999 through  December 31, 2002 with Gary J.  Corbett  whereby Mr.  Corbett will
serve as the Company's  President at an annual base salary of $80,000 plus bonus
to be  determined  by the Board of  Directors.  He was also  granted  options to
purchase  80,000  shares of the Company's  common stock at an exercise  price of
$3.50 per share  subject to downward  adjustments  in the exercise  price if the
Company meets certain  performance  goals. The options vest 25% on March 1, 1999
and 25% on  each of the  first,  second,  and  third  anniversary  dates  of the
employment agreement.

                               RECENT DEVELOPMENT

         The Company  has an  agreement  in  principle  to purchase  100% of the
outstanding   stock  of  Phillips  &  King   International,   Inc.   ("P&K")  in

Description of P&K Business

     Phillips & King International,  Inc. was organized by Mr. Harry Phillips in
1906. The controlling  interests in P&K today are fourth generation  descendants
of the founder.

                                       10
<PAGE>
     P&K is a wholesale  distributor of tobacco  products.  Their business is to
sell to retail smoke shops, and P&K has approximately  3,000 such accounts.  The
method of sale is by direct contact, and P&K employs nine sales  representatives
in that regard.

     P&K's  sales  reached  a peak of  $26.7  million  in 1997,  reflecting  the
popularity of premium  cigars.  Following the decline in  consumption of premium
cigars, P&K's sales dropped 33% in 1998 and 22% in 1999. Sales in 1999 were also
adversely affected by P&K's Chapter 11 Bankruptcy, filed on a voluntary basis on
February 8, 1999.

     During the 1997-1998  peak in premium  cigars,  Cuba Libre  Humidors,  Inc.
("Cuba   Libre")   claimed  to  have  received  a  verbal   purchase  order  for
humidification  devices for continuous monthly sale to P&K. This did not happen,
Cuba Libre filed suit and was awarded a judgment of $1.8 million.  P&K responded
by filing for protection under Chapter 11 provisions of the bankruptcy code, and
began  defensive  actions.  The  purchase  of P&K  presented  herein  presumes a
negotiated  resolution  of the Cuba Libre claim,  and  corresponding  successful
reorganization  under Chapter 11 provisions.  In this instance,  Havana fulfills
the role of "White Knight".

     Until its Chapter 11 filing,  P&K operated as a  Subchapter S  Corporation.
While  Havana will analyze the owners'  benefits as a part of its due  diligence
process,  it has not done so at  present,  and has not  identified  those  costs
beneficial to the owners which would not carry  forward on a post  transactional
basis.  The Company  has,  however,  identified  "Salaries  - Owners",  which it
believes should be considered separately from the operation results of P&K.

            MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OR PLAN OF OPERATION

     This discussion  should be read in conjunction  with the information in the
financial statements of the Company and notes thereto appearing elsewhere.

Overview

     The  Havana  Group,  Inc.  is a  consumer  catalog  and  Internet  business
specializing in smoking pipes, tobaccos, cigars and related accessories.  We are
the  manufacturer  and sole  distributor  of the "Magic  Inch" and  "Aerosphere"
smoking pipe systems,  and the sole  distributor  of "Carey  Honduran"  lines of
proprietary  hand made  cigars.  Our  products  are offered  through our Carey's
Smokeshop catalog. Carey Tobacco Club is also offered through the catalog, which
is a monthly program of tobacco shipments to Club members.  During December 1997
we opened,  and have since been  developing,  our Havana Group retail store.  In
June of 1999, we developed and launched our web site www.smokecheap.com as a new
distribution outlet.

                              RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 2000 COMPARED TO THE THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH
31, 1999

     Net sales for the quarter ended March 31, 2000 were  $449,450,  an increase
of  $187,686  or 71.7% from the same  quarter  last year.  The  increase  is due
favorable  response to the current  selection in the company's Carey Catalog and
the sales of the Company's roll-your-own products.

     Cost of sales  decreased  to 53.7% of net sales in 2000 from  72.2% in 1999
due to favorable  margins on  roll-your-own  products and an increase in Tobacco
Lovers Club memberships.

     Selling expenses were 26.6% of sales for the first quarter of 2000 compared
with  31.2% of sales in the first  quarter  of 1999.  The  decrease  in  selling
expense  percentage  in 2000  resulted  from a higher cost  effective  marketing
program implemented by the Company.

     For the first  quarter of 2000,  general and  administrative  expenses were
$145,464  or 32.4% of sales,  compared  to $78,733 or 30.1% of sales  during the
same quarter in 1999.  The  increase of $66,731 was due to  increased  personnel
costs related to the relocation of the Company to a new warehousing facility and
also to costs associated with the acquisition of Phillips & King.

     Losses from operations for the first quarter of 2000 were $44,109,  or 9.8%
of sales,  as compared to an operating loss of $71,455,  or 27.3% of total sales
in 1999. The decrease in loss was due to increased  sales and favorable  margins
on roll-your-own products in the first quarter of 2000.

                        LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES.

     At March 31,  2000,  our  accumulated  deficit  increased  by $44,109  from
December 31, 1999 due to the net loss.

     In  addition  to the  net  loss,  cash  was  used by  operating  activities
primarily  for  paying off of  accounts  payable of  $184,800.  Other  operating
activity cash uses included an increase in accounts receivable of $53,675 and an
increase  in  deferred   catalog   expense,   deposits  and  other  of  $19,079.
Additionally,  customer advances and accrued expense decreased $3,503. Cash uses
were somewhat offset by non-cash charges including depreciation and amortization
of $20,246. Cash from operations was also provided by a decrease in inventory of
$25,608 and a decrease in prepaid expenses of $8,748. Cash was used by investing
activities  in the amount of  $51,511,  primarily  as a result of  purchases  of
property  and  equipment  of  $48,026  and  investing  in  catalog  and  product
development  of  $3,485.  The  Company's  financing  activities  consisted  of a
decrease in amounts due to affiliates  of $146,301,  which  eliminated  this net
liability.  Additionally,  cash was  provided  from the sale of common  stock of
$342,056.

     At March  31,  1999,  our  accumulated  deficit  increased  ($71,455)  from
December 31, 1998 because of the net loss. In addition to the net loss, cash was
used by operating activities primarily to increase  inventories.  Cash uses were
partially   offset  by  non-cash   charges  of  $14,266  for   depreciation  and
amortization,  and by increases in accounts payable customer  advances and other
liabilities in the amount of $26,194. Cash was used by investing activities,  as
investments in property and equipment rose by $58,087,  reflecting the Company's
investment  in its  Havana  Group  site  on the  world-wide-web.  The  Company's
believes that its web site is  approximately  60% complete,  and anticipates the
total cost of its web site will be approximately $100,000.  Financing activities
for the quarter  consisted of a reduction in amounts due to  affiliates,  as the
Company paid down its balances due by $160,531 during the quarter.

     Currently, the Company has no credit facility. However, the Company expects
to meet  cash  needs  over  the next 12 to 15  months  through  working  capital
provided by the recently completed offering and cash from operations.

                 FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS AND ASSOCIATED RISKS

     Management's discussion and analysis contains  forward-looking  statements,
which  reflect  Management's  current  views and  estimates  of future  economic
circumstances,  industry conditions,  company performance and financial results.
These forward-looking statements are based largely on the Company's expectations
and are subject to a number of risks and uncertainties, many of which are beyond
the Company's control. Actual results could differ materially from these forward
looking  statements as a result of changes in the trends in the tobacco or cigar
retail and mail order industry,  government  regulations  imposed on the tobacco
industry,  competition,  availability and price of goods,  credit  availability,
printers'  schedules and  availability,  and other factors.  Any changes in such
assumptions or factors could produce significantly different results.
