PART I
ITEM 1. DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS
Introduction
- ------------
Pegasus Industries, Inc., formerly known as Pathfinder Corporation, a Nevada
corporation (the "Company") is a holding company that, prior to February 1995
had no operating activities. As discussed below, the Company made a series of
acquisitions prior to 1995 which were later rescinded, or alternatively are
inactive and carried at no value on the Company's financial statements. In
February 1995 the Company acquired Zearl T. Young, Incorporated ("ZTY") and
experienced a change in both management and ownership control in connection with
the acquisition. (See "Acquisition of ZTY" below).
The Company was originally incorporated as a Nevada corporation on November 1968
under the name Helistructures Corporation as a wholly owned subsidiary of
American International, Inc. (formerly American Mining and Development Company).
In January 1974, the Company changedits name from Helistructures Corporation to
Midas International and in 1982 the name was changed from Midas International,
Inc. to MII, Inc.
In December 1985 the Company filed for bankruptcy protection under Chapter 11 of
the U.S. Bankruptcy Code in the Central District of California. In December
1990, pursuant to the Plan of Reorganization of the Company approved by the
Bankruptcy Court, the Company issued 19,454,000 shares of common stock to
unsecured creditors for cancellation of $1,018,000 in debt. In August
1990 the Company changed its name from MII, Inc. to Pathfinder Corporation. In
1990 the Company initiated a reverse stock split whereby all outstanding shares
were reversed by a factor of 1 for 100 with the stipulation that no shareholder
be reduced to less than 10 post-split shares. In connection with this
stipulation, the Company issued 48,576 pre-split common shares. From 1973 to
1991 the Company's activities consisted primarily of the management of its
interests in various uranium mining claims.
On March 13, 1995 the Company changed its name from Pathfinder Corporation to
Pegasus Industries, Inc. in connection with the acquisition of ZTY and the
resulting change of control. Additionally, the Company's executive offices were
moved to Dallas, Texas as a result of the change in control.
Acquisition and Disposition of Oil and Gas Interest
- ---------------------------------------------------
In September 1992 the Company acquired certain oil and gas producing properties
for 699,997 shares of its common stock. In 1994 the Company rescinded the
acquisition and cancelled the
Page 3
<PAGE>
699,997 shares of stock it issued due to difficulties the Company encountered in
obtaining clear title to the oil and gas properties.
In January 1994, the Company authorized the purchase of an office building
valued at $700,000 for 700,000 shares of common stock of the Company from
certain officers and directors of the Company. In February 1994 the Company
rescinded the transaction and cancelled all 700,000 shares of stock issued
related to the purchase.
Acquisition of Zearl T. Young, Incorporated and Change of Control
- -----------------------------------------------------------------
Effective February 28, 1995, the Company acquired 100% of the outstanding common
stock of Zearl T. Young, Incorporated ("ZTY") from Pegasus Ventures, Inc.
("Ventures"), a privately held Texas corporation, pursuant to a Stock Exchange
Agreement in exchange for the issuance of 11,500,000 shares of the Company's
common stock. ZTY currently operates a nine store retail and consumer finance
concern in Hobbs, New Mexico. ZTY has assets of over $11 million and generated
revenues in fiscal 1994 in excess of $9 million. Ventures is a wholly owned
subsidiary of Boudreau & Associates, Inc. ("BAI") formed in 1992 by John R.
Boudreau and Robert W. Schleizer to acquire undermanaged and undervalued
companies.
In connection with the transaction, Mr. Boudreau and Mr. Schleizer were elected
to fill two of the three seats on the Company's board of directors. Kevin
Chisholm, a certified public accountant in private practice, was elected to fill
the remaining seat. The Company's prior directors, James M. Richards, Allen C.
Stout and Kenneth Mock resigned. Mr. Boudreau was subsequently elected by the
Company's board to fill the positions of Chairman of the Board, President and
Secretary of the Company. Mr. Schleizer was elected Chief Financial Offficer
and Treasurer of the Company. Mr. Boudreau resigned his position as director
effective the same date. Mr. Chisholm also resigned as director December 31,
1995.
Business of Zearl T. Young, Incorporated
- ----------------------------------------
ZTY was founded in 1955 as a single location Western Auto store in Hobbs, New
Mexico and was incorporated as a New Mexico corporation in 1958.
ZTY is engaged in the retail sale at its five locations of a diverse range of
products including: (1) furniture; (2) home electronics; (3) household
appliances; (4) hardware; (5) home improvement supplies; (6) household and
commercial floor coverings and installation thereof; (7) sporting goods
and recreational equipment; (8) automotive parts, supplies and accessories;
(9) automotive repair services; and (10) toys. ZTY's stores include a Western
Auto affiliated store and a True Value Hardware store.
Page 4
<PAGE>
ZTY operates its business from five retail locations in Hobbs, New Mexico. The
Company was operating five stores at December 1996 compared to nine the prior
year. The diversified retail concern draws customers from southeastern New
Mexico and western Texas. The company generates 72% of its revenues from sales
of retail merchandise. In October 1996, the Company sold off $2.8 of its then
$7.5 million finance contracts to Norwest Financial Services, Inc., an affiliate
of its primary secured lender, Norwest Bank Minnesota, N.A. The sale was
completed as part of a restructuring of the Company's $10 million line of credit
that was in default. The Company netted $2.3 million or 81.4% of the gross
finance contracts sold, resulting in a $90,000 loss to the Company. The entire
proceeds were applied to the line of credit.
Approximately 28% of ZTY's revenues are derived from the financing of consumer
purchases.
Competition
- -----------
The retail merchandise trade in which ZTY is engaged is highly competitive.
There are several discount retailers in Hobbs, New Mexico including Kmart and
Walmart which affect the gross margins ZTY can achieve on its retail sales. In
addition, during 1996, six new small loan companies have opened offices in
Hobbs, directly competing with ZTY for higher risk credit consumers. The
combination of both factors resulting in ZTY closing four stores in 1996.
Employees
- ---------
As of December 31, 1996, ZTY employed 54 people in New Mexico, 36 of which
engaged in operating the retail operation, 15 operating the consumer finance
business and 3 in administrative support positions. The Company currently has
three employees in Dallas, Texas in administrative and executive capacities.
ITEM 2. DESCRIPTION OF PROPERTY
The Company's headquarters are at 400 N. St. Paul, Suite 950, Dallas, Texas
75201.
ZTY, its wholly owned subsidiary, has 180,000 square feet of retail space
available under a master lease agreement. ZTY also leases 50,000 square feet of
warehouse space under the master lease. The master lease expires in November
2012. The master lease was negotiated on an arm's length basis with a company
owned by some of ZTY's preferred shareholders. As of
Page 5
<PAGE>
December 31, 1996, the Company occupied only 43,000 square feet of retail space
and 21,000 square feet of warehouse space. Rent payments were in arrears
totalling $120,000 at December 31, 1996.
ZTY owns a 5,500 square foot office building in Hobbs, New Mexico that serves as
its administrative office.

ITEM 5. MARKET FOR COMMON EQUITY AND RELATED SHAREHOLDER
MATTERS
The Company's Common Stock, $.01 par value ("Common Stock") is traded on an
interdealer basis under the symbol PIND (formerly "PTHF"). The following table

There is an absence of an established public trading market, therefore the
market for the Common Stock is limited, sporadic and highly volatile.
Though no dividend restrictions exist relative to the Company's paying cash
dividends, the Company has never paid cash dividends on its stock and does not
anticipate doing so in the foreseeable future. Rather,the Company has determined
to utilize any earnings in the operation of its business. Such policy is
subject to change based on current industry and market conditions, as well as
other factors beyond the control of the Company.

ITEM 6. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The following is management's discussion and analysis of significant factors
which have affected the registrant's financial position and operations during
the year ended December 31, 1996 as compared to December 31, 1995.
Results of Operations
- ---------------------
The Company's Consolidated Statement of Operations for the years ended December
31, 1996 and December 31, 1995 consist of the Company and ZTY, its wholly owned
subsidiary. Sales decreased from $5,621,587 for the year ended December 31,
1995 to $4,531,905 for the current year, a 19% decrease. The decrease is due to
the closing of four additional stores in 1996. Gross profits declined 18% or
$735,801 for the same period. Reduced sales and difficulty obtaining current
inventory due to insufficient working capital caused the decline.
Financing income decreased from $2,000,153 to $1,720,282 for the year ended
December 31, 1996 as compared to the year ended December 31, 1995, a 14%
decrease.
The Company reported a net loss of $2,314,859 for the year ended December 31,
1996 as compared to a net loss of $1,455,466 for 1995. The losses and the
Company's inability to raise sufficient working capital resulted in the Company
entering into an agreement in May 1997 to liquidate ZTY.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
- -------------------------------
Current liabilities as of December 31, 1996 of $7,637,789 exceeded currrent
assets by $3,876,750. The Company experienced significant working capital
shortages resulting in the inability to purchase sufficient inventory to
maintain sales.
The Company was in default on certain financial covenants of its senior loan
agreement including shareholder equity, collateral base and profitability
provisions. Management entered into a Liquidation Agreement in May 1997 to
close the operation of ZTY and sell its assets.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT
Board of Directors
Pegasus Industries, Inc.
Dallas, Texas 75201
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of Pegasus
Industries, Inc., as of December 31, 1996 and 1995, and the related consolidated
statements of operations, stockholders' equity and cash flows for the years then
ended. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's
management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial
statements based on our audit.
We conducted our audit in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards.
Those standards require that we 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 used and significant estimates made by
management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.
We believe that our audit of the financial statements 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 Pegasus Industries, Inc., as of
December 31, 1996 and 1995, in conformity with generally accepted accounting
principles.
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company
will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 1 to the financial
statements, the Company has suffered recurring losses from operatins and has a
net capital deficiency that raises doubt about the Company's ability to continue
as a going concern. Management's plan in regard to these matters is also
described in Note 1. The financial statements do not include any adjustments
that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
December 31, 1996 and 1995
NOTE 1 - ORGANIZATION
------------
Pegasus Industries, Inc. (The Company) was incorporated under the name
Helistructures Corporation on November 25, 1968 under the laws of the State of
Nevada with an authorized capital of 2,500 shares of common stock with no par
value. On January 12, 1973, the Company filed restated Articles of
Incorporation changing its name to Midas International, Inc. and increasing its
authorized capital to 125,000 shares of common stock with a par value of $0.20.
The restated articles supersede the original Articles of Incorporation and all
amendments heretofore made thereto prior to this date.
On December 14, 1982, the Company amended its Articles of Incorporation changing
its name to MII and increasing its authorized capital to 20,000,000 shares of
common stock with a par value of $0.01.
In December 1985, the Company applied for and was allowed protection under
Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Court in the Central District of California. On
December 19, 1989, the Bankruptcy Court accepted the Order of Confirmation of
the Trustee's second amended Chapter 11 Plan of Reorganization, which in effect
returned all assets of the Company to creditors for cancellation of all debt.
The Company issued a total of 19,454,500 shares of common stock to the unsecured
creditors for cancellation of $1,018,000 of debt.
On January 19, 1990, the Company amended its Articles of Incorporation,
increasing its authorized capital to 50,000,000 shares of common stock with a
par value of $0.01.
On August 7, 1990, the Company amended its Articles of Incorporation, changing
its name to Pathfinder Corporation and authorizing a reverse split of 100 to 1
with the stipulation that no shareholders be reduced to less than 10 shares.
Due to the stipulation that no shareholder be reduced to less than 10 shares,
the Company issued an additional 48,576 shares to maintain the 10 share minimum.
On September 30, 1992, the Company acquired oil and gas-producing properties for
699,997 shares of common stock. On September 12, 1994, the purchase agreement
was rescinded and the shares of common stock were returned and canceled.
On March 30, 1995, the Company amended its Articles of Incorporation, changing
its name to Pegasus Industries, Inc.
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company
will continue as a going concern. The Company has suffered recurring losses
from operations, has a net capital deficiency and is in default on several loan
agreement items, which raises doubt about the Company's ability to continue as
a going concern.
