FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
Some of the statements contained in this Form 10-KSB, discuss future
expectations, contain projections of results of operations or financial
condition or state other "forward-looking" information. These statements are
subject to known and unknown risks, uncertainties, and other factors that could
cause the actual results to differ materially from those contemplated by the
statements. The forward-looking information is based on various factors and is
derived using numerous assumptions. Important factors that may cause actual
results to differ from projections include, for example:
- the success or failure of management's efforts to implement their
business strategy;
- the ability of the Company to raise sufficient capital to meet
operating requirements;
- the ability of the Company to protect its intellectual property
rights;
- the ability of the Company to compete with major established
companies;
- the effect of changing economic conditions;
- the ability of the Company to attract and retain quality employees;
and
- other risks which may be described in future filings with the SEC.
ITEM 1. DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS
GENERAL
The Company was founded in 1986. The Company is engaged in the
distribution and sales of sports novelties, memorabilia, apparel and
collectibles. The Company has been engaged in distributing sports related
products for 15 years. The products are sports novelties, memorabilia, apparel
and collectibles. The Company has recently modified its business strategy and
has now entered the e-commerce market with the launch of its web site,
"uglyfan.com."
The Company's primary marketing segments include:
- Wholesale - Distributing product to brick and mortar retail
storefronts.
- Fulfillment - Distributing product for other online (sports and
non-sports) companies.
- Retail - Sales from several different online storefronts owned by
Sportan.
- uglyfan.com - The sports portal and flagship store owned by Sportan.
- Auctions - Sales from products submitted to auction sites.
<PAGE>
BUSINESS STRATEGY
The Company's goal is to become a leading fulfillment center for online
sales of sports novelties and collectibles in America, and to promote its own
Internet site to become a successful sports portal on the web. To accomplish
this goal, management is committed to the highest standards in distributing
diversified products to the sports/hobby industry in an aggressive, reliable,
and ethical manner. The Company's strategy involves several key business
objectives. Management's strategy is to establish the Company as the
fulfillment firm of preference in the markets it serves, by acquiring new
product lines and expanding to meet the needs of all customers. Management
believes the key factor for success will be a strong and efficient marketing
program. Management's goal is to increase market share by being the best choice
for wholesale needs, fulfillment needs, and retail customer needs in the sports
products market.
PRODUCTS
The Company distributes all types of sports memorabilia and collectibles.
The sports collectibles industry includes:
- Sports novelties,
- periodicals,
- apparel,
- hats,
- racing items,
- autograph memorabilia,
- artwork,
- posters, and
- other licensed memorabilia and collectibles.
The Company does not have any agreements with manufacturers with respect to
ordering the products it distributes. The Company orders products on an as
needed basis based on its internal estimates. Although the Company does not
foresee its inability to order products from manufacturers in the future, the
Company can provide no assurance that it will be able to continue to order
products on favorable terms from any of its manufacturers. The loss of one of
the Company's manufacturers could limit the Company's ability to offer a wide
variety of products to customers, which could damage the Company's trade name
and have an adverse effect on its business.
SALES AND MARKETING
The Company distributes its products to retailers that sell to the end
user, customers of online companies, customers of the Company's Internet retail
store, and to customers from auction sites. Management believes
the increased demand for sports collectibles and the emergence of e-commerce,
means that:
- retailers cannot afford to stock their inventory with all the products
produced by a manufacturer,
- online stores have no time, facilities, and experience in distributing
sports products, and
- the development of the online sports portal created by the Company
will provide the Company with access to this market.
Currently, the Company has one retail agreement and is currently
negotiating more, although there is no assurance that it will be able to execute
any other retail agreements. The retail agreement already established is with
Gridiron.com, which the Company has exclusive rights for fulfillment of all
products sold on site. The agreement with Gridiron.com expires in August 2000,
but may be extended on a year-to-year basis by the mutual agreement of the
parties. In addition, either party may terminate the agreement on 180 days
notice.
-2-
<PAGE>
The Company's business is service-oriented, and its primary marketing
focus is on responding rapidly to customer requirements. The Company conducts
limited advertising in the trade magazine Card Trade for the traditional
wholesale segment of the business. The Company is developing a market strategy
for advertising the online sports portal. For the fulfillment portion of the
business, most arrangements are made through personal contact.
Sales of sports memorabilia and collectibles in general are influenced by
the popularity of the sports to which the products or memorabilia relate.
During 1994, Major League Baseball experienced a strike and the National Hockey
League experienced a work stoppage. In 1998, the National Basketball
Association also experienced a work stoppage. These labor disputes resulted in
a loss of interest in these sports by many fans, which in turn triggered a
significant and immediate reduction in memorabilia sales. There can be no
assurance that similar labor disputes will not occur again or that the
popularity of the sports for which the Company distributes sports memorabilia
will not decline for other reasons. Further labor disputes or any such decline
in popularity could have a material adverse effect on the Company's business.
COMPETITION
The Company competes with a few companies on distribution of some products.
The Company believes the number of different product lines it offers makes it
unique in the industry. The Company's main competition is from the
manufacturers that produce the products it offers. The Company believes
manufacturers have a significant competitive advantage in the traditional retail
store front distribution. The retail store can buy direct but are often forced,
at this time, to buy in large quantities. There is no assurance that
manufacturers will not allow retailers to purchase smaller quantities of product
in the future, which would reduce or eliminate the Company's advantage over such
manufacturers.
For the fulfillment and online segments, there is a threat of new entrants
into the market because of the growth potential the Company believes this market
has experienced and will continue to experience. The Company expects to compete
with corporation with significantly greater financial and personnel resource
than the Company. There is no assurance that the Company will be able to
successfully compete in this market.
The Company competes based on a number of factors, such as:
- customer service and support,
- product diversification,
- timely and reliable delivery, and
- price.
Of these factors, the Company believes that product diversification is the
most important factor in attracting new customers, while service is the most
important factor in retaining customers. The Company believes that its ability
to compete effectively in the industry requires sales and support organizations
that are well versed in the various products distributed by the Company.
Management's business strategy is to acquire a multitude of product lines,
forming a one-stop distributor of novelty products, while expanding its reach to
a national level through the Internet. The Company's ability to adequately
execute its business strategy will be directly related to its level of capital.
There is no assurance that the Company will be able to raise sufficient capital
to fully execute its strategy.
INSURANCE
The Company has insurance covering risks incurred in the ordinary course of
business, covering fire, theft and other destruction, in amounts management
believes adequate for its needs. The Company does not maintain key-man life
insurance on the life of Jason G. Otteson, president and chief executive officer
of the Company. The Company believes its insurance coverage is adequate, but
the loss of Mr. Otteson, for any reason, could have a material adverse effect on
the prospects of the Company.
FACILITIES
The Company's headquarters facility, which includes its principal
administrative offices, is located at 3170 Old Houston Road, Huntsville, Texas

<PAGE>
77340. These premises are leased from Jason G. Otteson and consist of
approximately 12,000 square feet. The lease expires on September 30, 2000 and
the monthly rental is $2000.
EMPLOYEES
As of January 3, 2000, the Company employed sixteen persons, six of whom
are full-time employees, and ten part-time employees. No employees are covered
by a collective bargaining agreement. Management considers relations with its
employees to be very satisfactory. To date the Company does not have any
employment agreements with its officers, directors, or employees.
ITEM 2. DESCRIPTION OF PROPERTY
The Company's headquarters facility, which includes its principal
administrative offices, is located at 3170 Old Houston Road, Huntsville, Texas
77340. These premises are leased from Jason G. Otteson and consist of
approximately 12,000 square feet. The lease expires on September 30, 2000 and
the monthly rental is $2000.
ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
None.
ITEM 4. SUBMISSION OF MATTERS TO A VOTE OF SECURITY HOLDERS
None.

<PAGE>
PART II
ITEM 5. MARKET FOR COMMON EQUITY AND RELATED SHAREHOLDER MATTERS
Currently, there is no public trading market for the company's securities
and there can be no assurance that any market will develop. If a market
develops for the company's securities, it will likely be limited, sporadic and
highly volatile. The Company has submitted its application to be listed on the
OTC Electronic Bulletin Board.
It is the present policy of the Company not to pay cash dividends and to
retain future earnings to support the Company's growth. Any payment of cash
dividends in the future will be dependent upon the amount of funds legally
available therefor, the Company's earnings, financial condition, capital
requirements and other factors that the Board of Directors may deem relevant.
The Company has not paid any dividends during the last two fiscal years and does
not anticipate paying any cash dividends in the foreseeable future.
The following information sets forth certain information for all securities
the Company sold within the past three years, without registration under the
Act.
Between April 1998 and August 1998, the Company issued 1,000,000 shares of
Common Stock at a purchase price of $0.05 per share. The issuance was made
pursuant to Rule 504 promulgated under the Act. In connection with the
offering, the Company paid a cash sales commission of $5,000, a non-accountable
expense allowance of $1,500, and issued warrants to purchase 100,000 shares of
Common Stock at an exercise price of $0.06 per share to the underwriters, Di
Paulo Securities, Ltd. The Company believes the transaction was exempt from
registration pursuant to Section 4(2) of the Act.
In August 1998, the Company issued warrants to purchase 71,000 shares of
Common Stock at an exercise price of $0.01 per share to Brewer & Pritchard, P.C.
The Company believes the transaction was exempt from registration pursuant to
Section 4(2) of the Act.
In April 1998, the Company issued 15,000 shares of Common Stock to current
and former officers and directors, Messrs. Rodriguez, Strader, and Westbrook,
for services rendered. The Company believes the transaction was exempt from
registration pursuant to Section 4(2) of the Act.
ITEM 6. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
GENERAL
The Company was incorporated in March 1991, but has experienced significant
changes in its management and operations since the death of its founder, James
R. Otteson, in October 1995. The Company's operating results have been
declining since 1995. The Company's fiscal year was changed from December 31 to
September 30 in 1997.
The Company recognizes revenues from sales of sports memorabilia at the
time of shipment. General and administrative costs are charged to expense as
incurred. Property, plant and equipment are recorded at cost and depreciated
using an appropriate accounting method over the estimated useful lives of the
assets. Expenditures for repairs and maintenance are charged to expense as
incurred. The costs of major renewals and betterments are capitalized and
depreciated over the estimated useful lives. The cost and related accumulated
depreciation of the assets are removed from the accounts upon disposition.
Historically, the Company has concentrated on the distribution of sports
cards. In June 1999, the Company sold the sports cards and supplies portion for
net cash of $344,279, plus assumption by the buyer of $216,703 in related
accounts payable. The sales price included transfer of $320,040 in inventory,
$31,741 in accounts receivable, $2,300 in equipment, their St. Louis warehouse
lease, and a 3-year non-compete agreement with the Company and 3 key officers
valued at $206,901. The net gain recognized in 1999 was 206,903. The proceeds
were used to retire $85,000 in bank debt and $55,000 in related party debt, with
the balance used to fund current operating losses. Management estimates that
trading cards accounted for 80% of its past revenues.

<PAGE>
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Year Ended September 30, 1999 Compared to the Year Ended September 30, 1998
Revenues. For the year ended September 30, 1999, revenues decreased to
$2,901,829 from $3,057,734 during the year ended September 30, 1998. The
decrease of $155,905 or 5% was attributable to the sale of its trading card
business which represented approximately 80% of its revenues. For the year
ended September 30, 1999, gross margins decreased to $363,104 from $453,331
during the year ended September 30, 1998.
Cost of Sales. For the year ended September 30, 1999, cost of sales
decreased to $2,538,725 from $2,604,403 during the year ended September 30,
1998. The decrease of $65,678 or 3% was primarily attributable to the sale of
merchandise and inventory of the trading card business.
General and Administrative Expenses. For the year ended September 30,
1999, general administrative expenses increased to $685,812 from $569,931 during
the year ended September 30, 1998. The increase of $115,881 or 20% was
partially attributable to the increase in offering expenses, increased legal and
accounting fees incurred in connection with and in preparation for the Company's
initial public filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission, and contract
labor used in determining the Company's year 2000 readiness.
Net Loss. For the year ended September 30, 1999, the Company's net loss
increased to $178,248 from $129,304 during the year ended September 30, 1998.
The increase of $48,944 or 38% was attributable to the decrease in revenues and
the increase in general and administrative expenses discussed above.
Historical Cash Flows
Cash Flow from Operating Activities. The Company's net cash flow from
operating activities resulted in cash provided by operations of $149,177 for the
year ended September 30, 1999, and cash used in operations of $66,363 for the
year ended September 30, 1998. The increase was primarily attributable to net
operating losses for both years, offset in fiscal 1999 by the sale of inventory
in connection with the sale of the Company's trading card business.
Cash Flow from Investing Activities. The Company's net cash used in
investing activities for the year ended September 30, 1999 decreased to $2,368
from $8,270 for the year ended September 30, 1998. The decrease was due to the
Company's sale of property and equipment in connection with the sale of the
Company's trading card business in fiscal 1999.
Cash Flow from Financing Activities. The Company's net cash flows used in
financing activities for the year ended September 30, 1999 was $134,982,
compared to net cash flows provided in financing activities of $45,214 for the
year ended September 30, 1998. In fiscal 1999, cash used in financing
activities consisted primarily of repayments on the Company's line of credit,
repayments of principal on notes to stockholders, and repayment of stockholder
advances to the Company. In fiscal 1998, cash provided in financing activities
consisted primarily of proceeds from the Company's line of credit, proceeds from
the sale of common stock, stockholder advances to the Company, and proceeds from
notes to stockholders, which was partially offset by the repayment of principal
on notes to stockholders.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Management believes that working capital as of September 30, 1999 of
$35,534 should enable the Company to continue its current operations for
approximately the next six months. However, unforeseen costs could shorten the
period during which the current working capital may be expected to satisfy the
Company's capital requirements. Management estimates its current monthly
-6-
<PAGE>
operating costs are approximately $50,000. Management expects to finance year
2000 operating deficits with through additional vendor credits. In December
1999, the Company updated its computer systems, financing approximately $30,000
in computer hardware. The Company does not have any other material commitments
for capital expenditures. Management estimates that its current product sales
will not raise sufficient profits to meet its operating costs, and the Company
believes it will need to add additional product lines to increase revenues. The
Company may raise additional capital through equity sales to fund its business
strategy. The Company can provide no assurance that it will be able to make
such equity sales on terms favorable to the Company, if at all. If the Company
is able to raise funding through the sale of equity, it will result in
additional dilution to the Company's stockholders.
The Company has established a line of credit in the amount of $100,000 with
First National Bank of Huntsville. At September 30, 1999, the Company had a
balance of approximately $10,000 on the line of credit. At October 31, 1998,
the Company had borrowed $90,000 in the form of a note payable due on demand, at
an annual interest rate of 9.5% with principal plus accrued interest payments
beginning March 1999. The note payable is collateralized by all accounts
receivable and inventory of the Company. There can be no assurance that the
Company will be able to obtain additional funding from other external sources on
suitable terms, if at all.
The Company still owes stockholders $53,500 in the form of a note payable
due on demand, at an annual interest rate of 5% with principal plus accrued
interest to be paid on repayment. There can be no assurance that additional
stockholder funds will be available in the future.
The Company may in the future experience significant fluctuations in its
results of operations. Such fluctuations may result in volatility in the price
and/or value of the Company's common stock if any market develops. Results of
operations may fluctuate as a result of a variety of factors, including demand
for the Company's products, introduction of new products by the Company or its
competitors, the variety of products distributed by the Company, the number and
timing of the hiring of additional personnel, the timing of acquisitions,
general competitive conditions in the industry, and general economic conditions.
Shortfalls in revenues may adversely and disproportionately affect the Company's
results of operations because a high percentage of the Company's operating
expenses are relatively fixed. Accordingly, the Company believes that period to
period comparisons of results of operations are not necessarily meaningful and
should not be relied upon as an indication of future results of operations. Due
to the foregoing factors, it is likely that in one or more future periods the
Company's operating results will be below expectations.
SEASONALITY
Sales of sports-related memorabilia products tend to be more constant, with
sales peaks during holiday seasons and the then current sport season.
YEAR 2000 COMPLIANCE
Even though the date is now past January 1, 2000, and the Company has not
experienced any immediate adverse impact from the transition to the year 2000,
it cannot provide any assurance that its suppliers and customers have not been
affected in a manner that is not yet apparent. In addition, certain computer
programs which were date sensitive to the year 2000 may not have been programmed
to process the year 2000 as a leap year, and any negative consequential effects
remain unknown. As a result, the Company will continue to monitor its year 2000
compliance and the year 2000 compliance of its suppliers and customers.
In assessing the effect of the year 2000 problem, management determined
that there existed two general areas that needed to be evaluated:
- Internal infrastructure and
- Supplier/third-party relationships.
A discussion of the various activities related to assessment and actions
resulting from those evaluations is set forth below.
-7-
<PAGE>
INTERNAL INFRASTRUCTURE.
The Company verified that all of its personal computers and software are
Year 2000 compliant. The Company replaced or upgraded all items that were not
to Year 2000 compliant. The costs related to these efforts were not material.
SUPPLIERS/THIRD-PARTY RELATIONSHIPS.
The Company relies on its outside vendors for water, electrical, and
telecommunications services as well as climate control, building access, and
other infrastructure services. Although the Company has not experienced any
delays or interruptions in its service, it has received any assurance of
compliance from the providers of these services. Any failure of these
third-parties to resolve year 2000 problems with their systems could have a
material adverse effect on the Company's operations.
CONTINGENCY PLANS.
Based on the above actions, the Company has not developed a formal
contingency plan to be implemented as part of its efforts to identify and
correct year 2000 problems affecting our internal systems. However, if it deems
necessary, the Company may take the following actions:
- Accelerated replacement of affected equipment or software;
- Short to medium-term use of backup equipment and software;
- Increased work hours for Company personnel;
- Other similar approaches.
If the Company is required to implement any of these contingency plans,
such plans could have a material adverse effect on its business.
Based on the actions taken to date, and the lack of any problems to date,
the Company is reasonably certain that it has identified and resolved all year
2000 problems that could hurt its business.

assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes
assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by
management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.
We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in
all material respects, the financial position of Sportan United Industries, Inc.
as of September 30, 1999, and the results of its operations and its cash flows
for the years then ended, in conformity with generally accepted accounting
principles.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE A - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Nature of operations and organization: Sportan United Industries, Inc.
(formerly Players Texas Sports, Inc.) (the Company) was incorporated on March
15, 1991, as Players Texas Sports, Inc., a subchapter S corporation. On March
30, 1998, the Board of Directors of Players Texas Sports, Inc. voted to change
the name of the company to Sportan United Industries, Inc. and change the
federal income tax filing status to a C corporation. The Company is a
distributor of sports novelties and memorabilia. The Company markets its
distribution services primarily to retail outlets in the United States.
Cash and cash equivalents: For purposes of the statements of cash flows, cash
equivalents include all highly liquid investments with original maturities of
three months or less.
Allowance for Doubtful Accounts: Earnings are charged with a provision for
doubtful accounts based on a current review of the collectibility of accounts.
Accounts deemed uncollectible are applied against the allowance for doubtful
accounts.
Inventory: Inventory is stated at the lower of cost (determined by the specific
identification method) or market.
Property and Equipment: Property and equipment are stated at cost. The Company
depreciates property and equipment by the straight-line method over the
estimated useful lives of the related assets as follows:
Computer equipment 5 years $ 73,864
Furniture and fixtures 5-10 years 35,854
Transportation equipment 5-7 years 7,821
---------
117,539
Less accumulated depreciation ( 90,699)
---------

=========
Revenue Recognition: Revenues are recognized as goods are shipped from the
Company's warehouse. Shipments directly to customers from a third party vendor
are recognized at time of shipment from vendor.
Federal Income Taxes: Since March 30, 1998, the Company reports federal income
taxes as a C corporation and uses the liability method in accounting for income
taxes, whereby tax rates are applied to cumulative temporary differences based
on when and how they are expected to affect future tax returns. Deferred tax
assets and liabilities are adjusted for tax rate changes in the year changes are
enacted. The realizability of deferred tax assets are evaluated annually and a
valuation allowance is provided if it is more likely than not that the deferred
tax assets will not give rise to future benefits in the Company's tax returns.

SPORTAN UNITED INDUSTRIES, INC.
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE A SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)
Prior to conversion to a "C" corporation, the income or loss of the Company
flowed through to its stockholders. Accordingly, no provision has been made for
federal income taxes for periods prior to March 30, 1998.
Use of Estimates: The preparation of these 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 and the reported amount of revenues and expenses during
the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Certain reclassifications were made to prior year amounts to conform to the
current year presentation.
NOTE B - BANK CREDIT LINE ARRANGEMENT
The Company presently has a credit line of up to $100,000 at First National Bank
of Huntsville secured by substantially all assets, accounts receivable and
inventory with interest at the bank's prime commercial rate, and maturing March
2000. The Company's outstanding balance on this line as of September 30, 1999,
was $10,000.
NOTE C - INCOME TAXES
The tax effects of temporary differences that give rise to significant portions
of the deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities at September 30, 1999,
are as follows:
Deferred tax assets:
Net operating loss carryforward $ 81,600
Allowance for doubtful accounts 21,900
Less: valuation allowance (103,500)
---------
Net current deferred tax assets (liability) 0
=========
The Company has net operating loss carryforwards of approximately $240,000 as of
September 30, 1999, which expire through year 2019.

and $43,000 for the years ended September 30, 1999 and 1998, respectively.
NOTE E - RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
The Company is involved in various transactions with stockholders or officers of

detailed as follows:
Year Ended Year Ended
September September

Interest $ 8,362 $ 5,141
Notes payable to stockholders consist of the following:
Notes payable to two stockholders bearing interest
at 5% annually, balance is due on demand.
Interest is being accrued. $53,500
NOTE F - STOCK SPLIT CHANGING PAR VALUE OF STOCK
On March 30, 1998, the Board of Directors authorized a 41.43455-for-1 stock
split and a reduction of par value from $.10 to $.001, thereby increasing the
number of issued and outstanding shares to 5,985,000, and decreasing the par
value of each share to $.001. The effect of the change is reflected in the
Statements of Shareholder Equity retroactively to September 30, 1997.
Note G - PREFERRED STOCK, OUTSTANDING STOCK WARRANTS, AND OPTIONS
Preferred Stock: The Company is authorized to issue up to 10,000,000 shares of
preferred stock, no par value per share. The preferred stock may be issued in
one or more series, the terms of which may be determined at the time of issuance
by the Board of Directors, without further action by stockholders, and may
include voting rights (including the right to vote as a series on particular
matters), preferences as to dividends and liquidation, conversion, redemption
rights and sinking fund provisions. The issuance of any such preferred stock
could adversely affect the rights of the holders of Common Stock and, therefore,
reduce the value of the Common Stock.
Outstanding Stock Warrants: At September 30, 1999, the Company had outstanding
warrants to purchase 171,000 shares of the Company's common stock at prices
ranging from $.01 to $.06 per share. The warrants became exercisable in 1998

of common stock were reserved for that purpose.

comprising the South and Midwest. In connection with this sale, a $206,901 gain

this lease.

term of this lease commences, whether because of increased rate or violation,
Lessee shall pay to Lessor upon presentation of paid tax bills an amount equal
to 100 % of the increase in taxes upon the land and building in which the leased
premises are situated. In the event that such taxes are assessed for a tax year
extending beyond the term of the lease, the obligation of Lessee shall be
proportionate to the portion of the lease term included in such year.
17. Common Area Expenses. In the event the demised premises are
situated in a shopping center or in a commercial building in which there are
common areas, Lessee agrees to pay his pro rata share of maintenance, taxes, and
insurance for the common area.

the premises, or for any sum due hereunder, or because of any act which may
arise out of the possession of the premises, by either party, the prevailing
