PART I DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Item 1. Description of Business.
(a) Business Development.
Harmony Trading Corp., a New York corporation, was formed on August 13,
1996. We remained inactive until December 1998, when we became a direct seller
for Doncaster, a division of Tanner Companies. Doncaster is a manufacturer of
women's apparel and accessories.
(b) Business of the Issuer.
Our business is the direct selling of Doncaster women's apparel and
accessories. Doncaster is a division of Tanner Companies Limited Partnership, a
private company, which is based in Rutherfordton, North Carolina. Direct selling
is the sale of a consumer product or service in a face-to-face manner away from
a fixed retail location. We, through our two independent contractors, Falene
Gottbetter and Roberta Winley, market the Doncaster line through fashion shows
and private appointments. Initially, Mrs. Gottbetter entered into a fashion
consultant agreement with Tanner. Tanner and Mrs. Gottbetter verbally agreed to
allow us to assume the fashion consultant agreement from Mrs. Gottbetter.
Under the agreement with Tanner, we receive a sales kit four times a year,
one for each seasonal collection. We pay $180 to Doncaster for each sales kit,
but that money will be refunded if we decide not to continue selling Doncaster.
The sales kit includes brochures for the trunk show mailings, a look book which
contains a detailed description of every item, fabric and color swatches,
pictures of every item in the collection, a size chart and a pricing sheet. The
agreement is on-going and can be terminated either by us or by Tanner on thirty
(30) days written notice. The agreement provides that we will not show
competitive products at the same time that we are showing Doncaster apparel. We
must sell, after returns and credits, a minimum of $10,000 per collection in
order to remain as a fashion consultant for Doncaster.
We are in the District 39 selling district. Although we are geographically
based in Westchester County, New York, we are not limited to selling to
customers only located in Westchester, and we sell to anyone wherever located.
We are not the only Doncaster fashion consultant in District 39. District 39
consists of the counties of Orange, Rockland, Nassau, Westchester and New York.
There are approximately 28 other fashion consultants in District 39. The
district managers set sales goals for the fashion consultants based on the
previous collection's sales. These goals are only guidelines, and the fashion
consultants are not penalized if the goals are not met.
4
<PAGE>
Each Doncaster sales district has a district manager. The district manager
is responsible for coordinating the scheduling of all the trunk shows in the
district, the receipt of the trunk show clothing collection and keeping the
fashion consultants in communication so the truck show collection is delivered
to every fashion consultant on time. The district manager works with the fashion
consultants when they are having problems with Doncaster in having orders
delivered, having returns credited and having back orders filled.
Doncaster also has regional managers. The regions consist of several
states. The regional managers have similar responsibilities to the district
manager but on a larger scale.
Doncaster has district training services once a month for all fashion
consultants in each sales district. The seminars are held at Doncaster's
showroom in New York, New York. The cost of attending these seminars is $50 per
person, which is for the cost of the luncheon and refreshments. At the district
training seminars, Doncaster fashion consultants meet with the district sales
manager to discuss customer complaints, selling techniques and Doncaster
merchandise. The seminars last for half a day and attendance is strongly
recommended, though not mandatory.
Doncaster also holds regional meetings for its fashion consultants four
times per year, which include districts from several states. These regional
meetings are all day affairs, at a cost of approximately $85 per person, which
is for the cost of the luncheon and refreshments. At the regional meetings,
Doncaster presents a fashion show of its new collection, has a question and
answer session for its fashion consultants, and presents awards to its top
sellers. Both Mrs. Gottbetter and Ms. Winley have received awards for their
selling efforts. Doncaster holds one annual meeting for its fashion consultants.
There are four trunk shows every year, one for each collection. We have
our trunk shows in the home of Paul and Falene Gottbetter. Each trunk show lasts
for one week. For the second to fourth week prior to a trunk show, Mrs.
Gottbetter devotes approximately 16 hours per week preparing for the show. Ms.
Winley devotes approximately 50 hours per week for the same period. During this
three-week period, Mrs. Gottbetter and Ms. Winley create a mailing on the show
and send the mailing to the customers on our client list. They also begin making
appointments to show clients the collection during the show.
The week prior to the show Mrs. Gottbetter devotes approximately 24 hours
to our business and Ms. Winley devotes approximately 40 hours. During this time,
they prepare the Gottbetter's home for the show and schedule appointments.
During the week of the trunk show and the week after the trunk show, both Mrs.
Gottbetter and Ms. Winley devote approximately 40 hours each per week to our
business, showing clients the collection and taking orders. The week after the
trunk show is spent following up with Doncaster on the orders. During the rest
of the year, Mrs. Gottbetter spends approximately 10 hours a week on our
business and Ms. Winley spends about 25 hours a week.
5
<PAGE>
In management's opinion, and Mrs. Gottbetter's and Ms. Winley's opinions,
Doncaster's clothing is comparable in quality and styling to DKNY, Donna Karan,
Dana Buchman and other high end contemporary clothing lines. The style of
clothing is classic and traditional, but modern and contemporary and is made
from wool, linen, silk and cotton. The size of the clothing ranges from 2 to 18,
2 to 14 petite, and women's sizes 14 to 24 and is a fuller cut to assure true
sizing and proper fit. Doncaster added a new line of women's sizes to its Spring
collection called Elana.
Doncaster's line of clothing consists of separate pieces to allow women
versatility in mixing and matching items. The line includes pants, blazers,
sweaters, blouses, skirts, shorts, camisoles, and dresses. In addition,
Doncaster offers accessories including jewelry, belts and scarves. Doncaster has
four seasonal collections, Spring, Spring/Summer, Fall and Fall/Winter. The
collections are introduced on the following schedule - Fall in July, Fall/Winter
in September, Spring in January, and Spring/Summer in May. Within each season's
collection, there are various style/theme collections. For example, the Spring
/Summer 1999 collection consisted of Sloan Ranger, White Sand, Summer
Essentials, Kauai Island and Spice Market Group. The Sloan Ranger group was
inspired by London's Sloane Ranger district and featured casual coordinates in
khaki, white, peach and lilac, in solids and prints. The White Sand group
consisted of very classic pieces including, but not limited to, a shirtwaist
dress, and a man tailored jacket, man tailored shirt, in the colors of white,
beige and navy. The Fall 1999 collection consists of the following: Grey
Matters, Country Classics, Luxe, Fall Essentials, Haute View and Simply Silk. In
addition to slacks, sweaters, blouses, the Fall collection included wool jackets
and a coat with a detachable fur collar.
Doncaster has been in business since 1931, and we have been a direct
seller of Doncaster clothing and accessories since December 1998.
We rely on our mailing list, referrals and national advertising by
Doncaster in order to increase our customer base. We currently have a mailing
list of approximately 200 names to which we send announcements of the trunk
shows and preview shows during the year.
The trunk show lasts for one week, and it is by appointment. Customers
make appointments to view the current collection, try on different pieces and
place orders. Each client's appointment is for one hour to one and one-half
hours. The client can look at various colors and fabrics in a "look book" for
the current season's collection. If a client is unable to attend the trunk show,
we will make an appointment to view the collection at Doncaster's New York
showroom. Doncaster's offices in New York City are open during regular business
hours. However, we are able to obtain after hours access to the showroom with
advance notice to Doncaster.
We forward a client's order to Doncaster by phone or fax. The customer is
not billed for the order until Doncaster ships the order to the client. The
order can be shipped directly to the client or to Doncaster's New York showroom.
Doncaster employs a dressmaker who can make
6
<PAGE>
alterations to the clothing. Clothing which has not been altered or worn can be
returned to Doncaster for a full refund within thirty (30) days of receipt.
We also obtain clients from referrals by Doncaster in response to its
national advertising campaign in magazines such as Harper's Bazaar, Town &
Country, Mode, and Vogue. Doncaster will give the name and telephone number of a
consultant in a potential client's area in response to calls Doncaster receives
from the public inquiring about its merchandise.
We run fashions shows for various organizations, including but not limited
to, women's groups, church groups and other women's organizations. For each
season, Doncaster provides a fashion show set which a consultant can obtain from
Doncaster's district manager.
The women's apparel retail industry is highly competitive and fragmented.
We compete with large specialty retailers, traditional and better department
stores, national apparel chains, designer boutiques, individual specialty
apparel stores and other direct marketing firms. We do not have to compete with
these other businesses for merchandise since we only order merchandise for
individual clients directly from Doncaster. However, Doncaster only manufactures
a fixed number of pieces of each item and the pieces are sold on a "first-come,
first-serve basis." Most of our competitors are larger, have greater financial
resources and a more varied selection of clothing than we do. Our success is
dependent in part upon initiating and maintaining strong relationships with our
clients and the quality and value of the Doncaster clothing.
In addition to selling Doncaster, our consultants also act as fashion
consultants. As a fashion consultant we:
o teach people how to put different outfits together using the same
items of clothing;
o act as a wardrobe consultant and assist clients in throwing away the
old clothes that they have been saving; and
o assist the clients in evaluating which styles and color are the most
suitable for them.
We act as a fashion consultant directly in connection with our selling
Doncaster. We do not currently charge for this service because we have found
that our clients, after consulting with us, tend to purchase more items in order
to update or create a new look.
We are contemplating becoming a direct seller for additional products that
do not compete with Doncaster. We are investigating the possibility of being a
direct seller of cosmetics and skin care products. We are currently
investigating the various cosmetic and skin care manufacturers that engage in
direct sales, although we have no arrangements with any manufacturer and we have
not identified a specific manufacturer who we may contact.
7
<PAGE>
In investigating the different manufacturers, we are interested in
products that:
o are of high quality;
o are of moderate cost;
o have supportive management;
o have national advertising; and
o have a reasonable return policy.
As of March 27, 2000, we had no employees. We have two (2) independent
contractors, Falene Gottbetter and Roberta Winley. Falene Gottbetter is the wife
of our President, Paul B. Gottbetter. Mrs. Gottbetter and Ms. Winley are
independent contractors and not our employees. The decision to have them as
independent contractors are for tax purposes. By classifying Mrs. Gottbetter and
Ms. Winley as independent contractors and not employees, we are not responsible
for paying unemployment taxes, disability or social security taxes, providing
benefits like pension or medical plans, providing paid vacation or withholding
taxes. The benefit to us is that our record keeping is simpler. We pay our
consultants a commission and give them a Form 1099 for their yearly taxes.
Our consultants are considered independent consultants because they do not
have an employment contract with us, they have no regular hours and they are
paid on a commission basis.

ITEM 2. DESCRIPTION OF PROPERTY
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
We maintain our offices at 8 Harmony Lane, Hartsdale, New York, 10530, in
the home of our President, Paul B. Gottbetter. We do not have any rental
agreement with Mr. Gottbetter. We pay a nominal rent of $250 per month to Mr.
Gottbetter.

PART II
ITEM 5. MARKET FOR COMMON EQUITY
AND RELATED STOCKHOLDER MATTERS
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
(a) Market Information
There is no public trading market on which Harmony's Common Stock is
traded. Harmony has engaged a broker/dealer to file a Form 211 with the National
Association of Securities Dealers ("NASD") in order to allow the quote of
Harmony's common stock on the OTC Bulletin Board. Harmony's common stock may
trade on the OTC Bulletin Board under the symbol "HRMY."
There are no outstanding options or warrants to purchase, or securities
convertible into, common equity of Harmony.
Holders
There are approximately forty-four (44) record holders of the shares of
common stock. The records of Harmony's transfer agent do not indicate that any
of the shares are held in "street name"
Dividends
As of the date of this report, no cash dividends have been declared on the
common stock. Subject to the prior rights of any series of preferred stock which
may from time to time be outstanding, if any, holders of common stock are
entitled to receive ratably, dividends when, as, and if declared by the board of
directors out of funds legally available therefor. Under the Business
Corporation Law of New York, Harmony may only pay dividends out of capital and
surplus, or out of certain enumerated retained earnings, as those terms are
defined in the Business Corporation Law of New York. The payment of dividends on
its common stock is, therefore, subject to the availability of capital and
surplus or retained earnings as provided in the Business Corporation Law of New
York.

Recent Sales of Unregistered Securities.
In August 1996, Harmony issued 200 shares of its common stock to Paul
Gottbetter for a price of $5.00 per share. The shares of common stock were
issued under Section 4(2) of the Securities Act.
In the summer of 1998, Paul Gottbetter transferred an aggregate of 7,500
shares to 25 people in consideration of the assistance and support these people
gave to Harmony during the period in which they were preparing our first show
for Doncaster. These transfers were made under Sections 4(1) and 4(2) of the
Securities Act.
Paul Gottbetter initially considered these transfers to be gifts, but upon
re-evaluation of the transfers, realized that the transfers could be deemed
sales under the Securities Act because we indirectly derived a benefit from
these people. Section 4(1) provides for an exemption from the registration
requirements of the Securities Act for transactions by any persons other than an
issuer, underwriter or dealer. Section 4(2) provides for an exemption from the
registration requirements by an issuer not involving any public offering.
The value of the services provided by these 25 persons and the value of
the shares was $375.
In January 1999, Paul Gottbetter made a gift of 25 shares (pre-split) to
his son, Adam Gottbetter. In April 1999, Adam Gottbetter transferred an
aggregate of 3,000 (post-split) shares to ten (10) people who were employees of
Adam Gottbetter's law firm, Kaplan Gottbetter & Levenson, LLP. These transfers
were made under Section 4(1) of the Securities Act.
Adam Gottbetter initially considered these transfers to be gifts. Upon
re-evaluation of these transfers, he realized that the transfers could be deemed
sales under the Securities Act because his law firm derived a benefit from these
ten (10) people.
On April 6, 1999, Harmony closed its offering of common stock under Rule
504 of Regulation D promulgated under the Securities Act. Harmony sold 555,0000
shares of its common stock, at a price of $.05 per share, aggregating $27,750.
We have filed a registration statement on Form SB-2 to register 1,265,000
shares of the common stock owned by the people who received their shares from
Paul Gottbetter and Adam Gottbetter. We have also included 1,000,000
(post-split) shares sold in April 1999 under Rule 504 in the registration
statement. The shares are being registered for the benefit of the shareholders.
The offering of the shares by the selling shareholder will begin when the
Securities and Exchange Commission grants effectiveness to the registration
statement.

ITEM 6. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
OR PLAN OF OPERATION
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The statements contained in this Annual Report on Form 10-KSB that are not
historical facts are forward-looking statements (as such term is defined in the
Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995) that involve risks and
uncertainties. Such forward-looking statements may be identified by, among other
things, the use of forward-looking terminology such as "believes," "expects,"
"may," "will," "should" or "anticipates" or the negative thereof or other
variations thereon or comparable terminology, or by discussions of strategy that
involve risks and uncertainties. From time to time, the Company or its
representatives have made or may make forward-looking statements, orally or in
writing. Such forward-looking statements may be included in various filings made
by the Company with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC"), or press
releases or oral statements made by or with the approval of an authorized
executive officer of the Company. These forward-looking statements, such as
statements regarding anticipated future revenues, capital expenditures, and
other statements regarding matters that are not historical facts, involve
predictions. The Company's actual results, performance or achievements could
differ materially from the results expressed in, or implied by, these
forward-looking statements.
Harmony was formed on August 13, 1996, under the laws of the State of New
York. We intend to continue to be a direct seller of Doncaster apparel. The
following is our plan of operation for the next twelve months. Although Harmony
was formed in August 1996, we were unable to locate a business to engage in
until Summer 1998, when we discovered the business of direct selling Doncaster
apparel. From Summer 1998 to December 1999, we engaged in compiling a mailing
list to announce the December 1998 holiday line. We commenced operations as a
direct seller of Doncaster in December 1998. Our operations to date have
consisted of preparing for the direct selling of Doncaster by compiling a
mailing list, sending out mailings and the selling of Doncaster through trunk
shows and personal appointments.
We are in the developmental stage and our revenues are based solely on the
commission we receive from the sales of Doncaster apparel. We have also received
money from a limited offering of shares of our common stock in April 1999, which
raised $25,250.
After deducting operating expenses which consist of postage, printing and
miscellaneous office supplies of approximately $1,000 per trunk show, the two
consultants are paid their fees. Since we do not have to pay in advance for any
of the merchandise that we sell, it is not necessary to have large amounts of
cash available.
11
<PAGE>
Doncaster pays us 25% of our net sales. Our net sales are the total of all
our sales minus any returns. Of the money we receive from Doncaster, Ms. Winley
is paid 40%. We divide the remaining money equally between Harmony and Mrs.
Gottbetter.
The proceeds from the limited offering have been and are being used to pay
for our legal and accounting fees in connection with the preparation and filing
of our registration statement on Form 10-SB which was filed with the Securities
and Exchange Commission on July 22, 1999, the preparation and filing of our
registration statement on Form SB-2 which was filed with the Securities and
Exchange Commission on December 21, 1999, the preparation and filing of this
annual report, and the preparation and filing of our quarterly reports and the
year audit for the year ended December 31, 1999.
Doncaster increased its current line of apparel by adding women's sizes
(16W, 18W, 20W, 1X, 2X, etc.), in the Spring 2000 collection. We expect that
with the additional sizes available, our customer base will increase and our
revenues will increase due to the additional sales. We realize adequate revenue
after the payment of the commissions to our independent contractors, to cover
our out-of-pocket costs, and our legal and accounting expenses. In the next
twelve months we intend to:
o continue selling Doncaster apparel;
o increase our client base through mailings and word-of-mouth;
o become a direct seller of a cosmetic skin care product line,
or another product line that compliments but does not compete
with Doncaster.
We do not expect to hire any employees or engage the services of any
additional independent contractors in the next twelve months unless the number
of customers increases to an extent that an additional fashion consultant is
needed. Any additional consultants would be paid a percentage of our
commissions.
Although we would like to generate profits, at this stage, it is unlikely
we will be able to do so, unless our net sales increase. In order to do this,
our sales at Doncaster must increase or we must sell other products in addition
to Doncaster.
Our business for the next twelve months does not include any product
research and development other than investigating the manufacturers of cosmetics
and skin care products that market their merchandise through direct selling. In
order to investigate these manufacturers, we will:
o contact the Direct Selling Association for the names and
addresses of cosmetic manufacturers;
o research magazines and newspapers for advertisements placed by
cosmetic manufacturers;
o use the Internet as a search and research tool on cosmetic
manufacturers.
12
<PAGE>
Once we identify a cosmetic manufacturer that we are interested in, either
Mr. Gottbetter or Mrs. Gottbetter will contact the manufacturer to discuss the
possibility of Harmony becoming a direct seller of the products. We anticipate
that it may take up to six months for us to find a company whose product
interests us.
We do not expect to purchase any plant or significant equipment in the
next twelve months and we do not own any plant or significant equipment to sell.
We anticipate that we will continue to operate at a loss for the
foreseeable future. Our expenses consist of general and administrative expenses,
legal fees and accounting fees.
Since December 1998, our management had devoted the majority of its
efforts to obtaining new customers for our products, pursuing and finding a
management team to continue the process of completing its marketing goals,
marketing limited quantities of the Doncaster Line, and obtaining sufficient
working capital through loans and equity through a private placement offering.
These activities were funded by our management and investments from
stockholders.
Results of Operations for the year ended December 31, 1999 as compared to
the year ended December 31, 1998.
For the year ended December 31, 1999, Harmony generated net sales of
$15,918 as compared to $0 for the year ended December 31, 1998 representing an
increase of $15,918. Our cost of goods sold for the year ended December 31, 1999
was $0 as compared to $0 for the year ended December 31, 1998. Our gross profit
on sales was $15,918 for the year ended December 31, 1999 as compared to $0 for
the year ended December 31,1998. The increase in gross profit is the result of
offering for sale the Doncaster Line in the reorganization of our business.
Harmony's general and administrative costs aggregated approximately
$41,526 for the year ended December 31, 1999 as compared to $10,865 for the year
ended December 31, 1998 representing an increase of $30,661. Expenses for the
year December 31, 1999 include office and computer expenses of $13,601, rent of
$3000, salary of $3,000, professional fees of $7,292 and commissions of $3,473.
Results of Operations for the period of inception, August 13, 1996 through
December 31, 1999
For the period from our inception, August 13, 1996, through December 31,
1999, a period of approximately 40 months, we generated net sales of $19,918 (an
average of $498 per month). Our cost of goods sold on sales was approximately $0
for the period from our inception, August 13, 1996, through December 31, 1999.
The gross profit from sales for this 40 month period is $19,918. Management
believes the gross profit of an average of $498 for the period from
13
<PAGE>
inception, August 13, 1996, through December 31, 1999, will improve and
stabilize once our marketing plans become fully implemented.
Harmony's general and administrative costs aggregated approximately
$67,448 for the period from inception, August 13, 1996, through December 31,
1999. Of these initial startup costs, approximately $28,634 is attributed to
telephone and other office expenses, $5,699 in commissions, $27.615 in
professional fees and $5,500 in rent.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Harmony increased liquidity by $3,182 from a cash balance at our inception
of $0 through the process of developing gross profits for sales, selling the
marketable securities, loans by our principal shareholders and the completion of
a private placement with net proceeds to Harmony aggregating $18,565.
We expended an aggregate of $18,825 for operating expenses and reduced our
notes payable by $2,325 through December 31, 1999. In April 1999, our company
sold under Rule 504 of Regulation D of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended,
an aggregate of 505,000 shares of common stock at $0.05 per share for an
aggregate cash consideration of $25,250 and the sale of 50,000 shares of common
stock in consideration for $2,500 in legal services less $6,685 in offering
expenses. On September 16, 1999, Harmony forward split the number of shares of
common stock outstanding in a ratio of 2 to 1 restating the number of shares
outstanding from 1,555,000 to 3,110,000.
Income Tax
As of December 31, 1999, Harmony had a tax loss carry-forward of $47,258.
Our ability to utilize the tax credit carry-forwards in future years will be
subject to an annual limitation pursuant to the "Change in Ownership Rules"
under Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. However, any
annual limitations are not expected to have a material adverse effect on our
ability to utilize our tax credit carry-forwards.
We expect our capital requirements to increase over the next several years
as we continue to develop our business, increase sales and administration
infrastructure and embark on developing in-house business capabilities and
facilities. Our future liquidity and capital funding requirements will depend on
numerous factors, including the extent to which our company's present management
can fund the continued capital requirements, the costs and timing of expansion
of sales, marketing activities, facilities expansion needs, and competition in
the business entered into.
The report of our independent accountants on our December 31, 1999
financial statements contains an explanatory paragraph regarding our ability to
continue as an on-going business.

(973) 790-8775
Fax (973) 790-8845
To The Board of Directors and Shareholders
of Harmony Trading Corp. (a development stage company)
I have audited the accompanying balance sheet of Harmony Trading Corp. (a
development stage company) as of December 31, 1999 and the related statements of
operations, cash flows and shareholders' equity for the years ended December 31,
1998 and 1999. These financial statements are the responsibility of the
Company's management. My responsibility is to express an opinion on these
financial statements based on my audit.
I conducted my audit in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that I plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatement. An audit includes examining on a test basis, evidence supporting
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes
assessing the accounting principles and significant estimates made by
management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.
I believe that my audit provides a reasonable basis for my opinion.
In my opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly,
in all material respects, the financial position of Harmony Trading Corp. (a
development stage company) as of December 31, 1999 and the results of its
operations, shareholders equity and cash flows for the year ended December 31,
1998 and 1999 in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that
Harmony Trading Corp. (a development stage company) will continue as a going
concern. As more fully described in Note 2, the Company has incurred operating
losses since the date of reorganization and requires additional capital to
continue operations. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the
Company's ability to continue as a going concern. Management's plans as to these
matters are described in Note 2. The financial statements do not include any
adjustments to reflect the possible effects on the recoverability and
classification of assets or the amounts and classifications of liabilities that
may result from the possible inability of Harmony Trading Corp. (a development
stage company) to continue as a going concern.

HARMONY TRADING CORP.
(A development stage company)
Note 1. Organization of Company and Issuance of Common Stock
a. Creation of the Company
Harmony Trading Corp., (the "Company") was formed under the laws of New
York on August 13, 1996 and was originally authorized to issue 200 shares of
common stock, without par value each. On April 6, 1999, the Company amended its
certificate of incorporation increasing the authorized number of shares of
common stock to 20,000,000, $0.001 par value each and increasing the authorized
number of shares of preferred stock to 5,000,000, $0.001 par value each.
On September 20, 1999, the Company amended its certificate of
incorporation to authorize an aggregate of 200,000,000 shares of common stock,
$.001 par value each and 5,000,000 shares of preferred stock, $.001 par value
each.
b. Description of the Company
The Company is considered to be a development stage business that is in
the business of the direct selling of women's apparel and accessories through
personal appointments and fashion shows.
c. Issuance of Shares of Common Stock
On August 13, 1996, the Company sold an aggregate of 200 shares of common
stock, which was later restated to be 2,000,000 shares as a result of the
forward stock splits, for an aggregate consideration of $2,000 or $.001 per
share.
In January, 1998, Paul Gottbetter, President of the Company, gifted 25
pre-split shares of common stock to Adam S. Gottbetter, which were restated to
125,000 shares after the forward split.
On April 2, 1999, the number of shares of common stock was forward split
in a ratio of 5,000 to 1 restating the number of shares of common stock
outstanding from 200 to 1,000,000.
In September, 1999, the Company has sold, pursuant to the terms of Rule
504 of Regulation D of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, an aggregate of
555,000 shares of common stock at $0.05 per share for an aggregate of $27,750
less $6,685 in offering expenses.
On September 16,1999, the Company forward split the number of shares of
common stock outstanding in a ratio of 2 to 1 restating the number of shares
outstanding from 1,555,000 to 3,110,000.
Note 2-Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
a. Basis of Financial Statement Presentation
The accompanying unaudited financial statements have been prepared on a
going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the
satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company
incurred net losses of $47,258 for the period from inception, August 13, 1996,
to December 31, 1999. These factors indicate that the Company's continuation as
a going concern is dependent upon its ability to have positive cash flows from
operations. The Company's future capital requirements will depend on numerous
factors including, but not limited to, continued progress in its
F-6
<PAGE>
selling capabilities and implementing its marketing strategies. The Company
plans to engage in such ongoing financing efforts on a continuing basis.
The financial statements presented consist of the balance sheet of the
Company as at December 31, 1999 and the related statements of operations and
cash flows and stockholders' equity for the year ending December 31, 1998, and
1999 and for the period from inception, August 13, 1996, to December 31, 1999.
b. Cash and cash equivalents
The Company treats temporary investments with a maturity of less than
three months as cash.
c. Revenue recognition
Revenue is recognized when products are shipped or services are rendered.
Commission income is recognized when products are shipped or services are
rendered.
d. Selling and Marketing Costs
Selling and Marketing - Certain selling and marketing costs are expensed
in the period in which the cost pertains. Other selling and marketing costs are
expensed as incurred.
e. Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and
assumptions that effect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and
disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial
statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the
reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
f. Significant Concentration of Credit Risk
At December 31, 1999, the Company has concentrated its credit risk by
maintaining deposits in several banks. The maximum loss that could have resulted
from this risk totaled $-0- which represents the excess of the deposit
liabilities reported by the banks over the amounts that would have been covered
by the federal insurance.
g. Asset Impairment
The Company adopted the provisions of SFAS No. 121, Accounting for the
impairment of long lived assets and for long-lived assets to be disposed of
effective January 1, 1996. SFAS No. 121 requires impairment losses to be
recorded on long-lived assets used in operations when indicators of impairment
are present and the estimated undiscounted cash flows to be generated by those
assets are less than the assets' carrying amount. SFAS No. 121 also addresses
the accounting for long-lived assets that are expected to be disposed of. There
was no effect of such adoption on the Company's financial position or results of
operations.
h. Property and Equipment
Property and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation.
Depreciation is computed over the estimated useful lives using the straight line
methods over a period of seven years. Maintenance and repairs are charged
against operations and betterments are capitalized.
F-7
<PAGE>
i. Recent Accounting Standards
Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 133, "Accounting for
Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities" (SFAS 133) was issued in June
1998. It is effective for all fiscal years beginning after June 15, 1999. The
new standard requires companies to record derivatives on the balance sheet as
assets or liabilities, measured at fair value. Gains or losses resulting from
changes in the values of those derivatives would be accounted for depending on
the use of the derivatives and whether they qualify for hedge accounting. The
key criterion for hedge accounting is that the hedging relationship must be
highly effective in achieving offsetting changes in fair value or cash flows.
The Company does not currently engage in derivative trading or hedging activity.
The Company will adopt SFAS 133 in the fiscal year ending December 31, 2000,
although no impact on operating results or financial position is expected.
Accounting for the Costs of Computer Software Developed or Obtained for
Internal Use
In March of 1998, the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants
issued Statement of Position 98-1, "Accounting for the Costs of Computer
Software Developed or Obtained for Internal Use". SOP 98-1 requires computer
software costs associated with internal use software to be charged to operations
as incurred until certain capitalization criteria are met. SOP 98-1 is effective
beginning January 1, 1999. The Company is currently assessing the impact that
adoption of this statement will have on consolidated financial position and
results of operations.
Note 3 - Related Party transactions
a. Issuance of Shares of Common Stock
On August 13, 1996, the Company sold an aggregate of 200 shares of common

splits, for an aggregate consideration of $2,000 or $.001 per share.

pre-split shares of common stock to Adam S. Gottbetter, which were restated to
125,000 shares after the forward split.

the year ended December 31, 1999, the Company has accrued a minimal compensation
of $500 per month as compensation to Mr. Gottbetter as consideration for
services while the Company is in the development stage of development as
follows: $2,000, $6,000, $6,000 and $6,000.
Note 5 - Commitments and Contingencies
At December 31, 1998 and December 31, 1999, the Company has not entered
into any contracts or commitments.
Note 6 - Income Taxes
The Company provides for the tax effects of transactions reported in the
financial statements. The provision if any, consists of taxes currently due plus
deferred taxes related primarily to differences between the basis of assets and
liabilities for financial and income tax reporting. The deferred tax assets and
liabilities, if any represent the future tax return consequences of those
differences, which will either be taxable or deductible when the assets and
liabilities are recovered or settled. As of December 31, 1998 and December
31,1999, the Company had no material current tax liability, deferred tax assets,
or liabilities to impact on the Company's financial position because the
deferred tax asset related to the Company's net operating loss carryforward and
was fully offset by a valuation allowance.
At December 31, 1999, the Company has net operating loss carry forwards
for income tax purposes of $47,258. This carryforward is available to offset
future taxable income, if any, and expires in the year 2010. The Company's
utilization of this carryforward against future taxable income may become
subject to an annual limitation due to a cumulative change in ownership of the
Company of more than 50 percent.
The components of the net deferred tax asset as of December 31, 1999 are
as follows:
Deferred tax asset:
Net operating loss carry forward $ 16,067
Valuation allowance $(16,067)
--------
Net deferred tax asset $ -0-
========
The Company recognized no income tax benefit for the loss generated in the
period from inception, August 13, 1996, to December 31, 1999.
SFAS No. 109 requires that a valuation allowance be provided if it is more
likely than not that some portion or all of a deferred tax asset will not be
realized. The Company's ability to realize benefit of its deferred tax asset
will depend on the generation of future taxable income.
Because the Company has yet to recognize significant revenue from the sale
of its products, the Company believes that a full valuation allowance should be
provided.
