General Development of the Business
Fast Eddie Racing Stables, Inc. (the Company ), was incorporated under
the laws of the State of Florida on April 3, 1981. During the period from
inception through the year ended December 31, 1988 the Company was engaged in
the business of acquiring, racing and selling standardbred race horses (pacers
and trotters. During the year ended December 31, 1989, the Company
discontinued operations and through the date hereof, has been inactive.
Description of the Business
During the years it conducted operations, the Company owned and raced
standardbred race horses at facilities in Florida, New York, New Jersey,
Maryland and California. The horses were trained and driven by independent
professional personnel pursuant to specific agreements. Under these agreements,
the bulk of the training, boarding and related costs of maintaining the
Company's horses were borne by the driver/trainer.
During the year ended December 31, 1989 the Company sold or otherwise
disposed of all remaining horses in order to settle outstanding indebtedness.
At that point and through the date hereof the Company has been inactive.
At present, the Company has only one employee, its President and Chief

ITEM 5. MARKET FOR COMMON EQUITY AND RELATED STOCKHOLDER MATTERS

the date hereof and has not filed all required reports with the United States
