(A) Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited financial statements of Chapeau, Inc. (the
"Company"), have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form
10-QSB. Accordingly, these financial statements do not include all of the
information and footnote disclosures required by generally accepted accounting
principles for complete financial statements. These financial statements and
footnote disclosures should be read in conjunction with the audited financial
statements and the notes thereto included in the Company's annual report on Form
10-KSB for the year ended June 30, 1999. In the opinion of management, the
accompanying unaudited financial statements contain all adjustments (consisting
of only normal recurring adjustments) necessary to fairly present the Company's
financial position as of March 31, 2000, its results of operations for the three
and nine months ended March 31, 2000 and 1999, and its cash flows for the nine
months ended March 31, 2000 and 1999. The results of operations for the three
months and nine months ended March 31, 2000, may not be indicative of the

On February 3, 2000, the three directors of the Company resigned and Howard S.

Mr. Landa and other members of management purchased a controlling interest in
the Company from its two former principal shareholders. As part of the

shareholders agreed to pay all accounts payable outstanding as of February 2,
2000, except those included in Reserve for Discontinued Operations, and
converted the notes payable and accrued interest due to them into contributed
capital. New management, together with a principal shareholder, holds 3,960,000
of the outstanding shares, or approximately 46%, of the Company after completion
of the private placement discussed in Note C.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Recent Events
Control and management of the Company changed on February 3, 2000, as
reported on the Company's current report on Form 8-K as of that date. Readers
are referred to that report for additional information.
General
The Company was organized under the laws of the State of Utah on September
19, 1985, to provide a capital resource fund to be used to participate in
business opportunities. The Company completed a public offering of its common
stock in March of 1986. The Company received net proceeds from the public
offering of $163,900, after deducting underwriters' compensation and other costs
of the offering totaling $37,215.
On May 13, 1987, the Company entered into an agreement with Pro Image, Inc.
for the purchase of licenses to open up to eighteen (18) Pro Image stores. In
1987, the Company acquired Robert K. McIntosh, Inc., a closely held corporation
which owned a Pro Image franchise. In exchange for all of the stock of Robert
K. McIntosh, Inc., the Company issued 40,000 shares of its common stock and the
shareholders of Robert K. McIntosh, Inc., Robert K. McIntosh and Robert
McDonald, became members of the Company's board of directors. In December 1987,
the Company also entered an agreement with Dave Carver to purchase a Pro Image
store in Long Beach, California.
The Company used the proceeds of its public offering and all additional
funds it borrowed or raised to fund the Company's efforts in starting and
purchasing Pro Image stores. However, the Company's efforts to become a
franchisee of Pro Image stores ultimately proved unsuccessful and the Company
ceased all activity related to the Pro Image stores.
Subsequently, the Company investigated several other business
opportunities, but did not consummate any transaction. The Company presently
has no operations other than minimal operations necessary to maintain its
corporate status.
In 1997, the Company changed management and sold shares of its Common and
Preferred Stock to two individuals in order to raise capital to cover past
obligations and to provide for basic ongoing corporate obligations. Until
recently, these two individuals were the controlling shareholders of the
Company.
Results of Operations
The Company has no current operations or revenue. The Company has only
incidental ongoing expenses primarily associated with maintaining its corporate
status. For the three and nine month periods ended March 31, 2000, the
Company's expenses were $8,321 and $10,340, respectively, compared to $2,821 and
$6,061 for the three and nine month periods ended March 31, 1999, respectively.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
As of March 31, 2000, the Company had cash of $987,607 and liabilities of
$4,951, resulting in working capital of $982,656.
During the quarter ended March 31, 2000, the Company completed a private
placement of 4,000,000 shares of common stock resulting in net proceeds to the
Company of approximately $987,000. The offering was made to provide funding to
the Company to permit it to search for a business opportunity and to provide the
Company with sufficient capital to potentially make it an attractive merger
candidate.
Management of the Company believes that the current cash balance is
sufficient to meet its existing commitments for the fiscal year.
ITEM 5. OTHER INFORMATION
On May 6, 2000, the board of directors of the Company authorized a change
in the independent accountants of the Company from Jones, Jensen & Company to
Hansen Barnett & Maxwell.
The report of Jones, Jensen & Company on the Company's financial statements
as of June 30, 1999, and the two years then ended did not contain an adverse
opinion, or a disclaimer of opinion, nor was its report qualified or modified as
to uncertainty, audit scope, or accounting principles, other than a limitation
as to the presentation of the financials on a going concern basis at a time that
the Company was a development stage company with no operating capital. During
the engagement of Jones, Jensen & Company, there were no disagreements on any
matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or
auditing scope or procedure which disagreements, if not resolved to the
satisfaction of Jones, Jensen & Company, would have caused the Company to make
reference to the subject matter of the disagreements in connection with its
reports.
The Company was not advised by Jones, Jensen & Company that internal
controls necessary for the Company to develop reliable financial statements did
not exist nor that any information had come to its attention that led it to no
longer be able to rely on management's representations or that made it unwilling
to be associated with the financial statements prepared by management. The
Company was not advised by Jones, Jensen & Company of the need to expand
significantly the scope of the Company's audit. Jones, Jensen & Company has not
advised the Company that any information has come to its attention that Jones,
Jensen & Company concluded would materially impact the fairness or reliability
of either (i) a previously issued audit report or the underlying financial
statements; or (ii) any financial statements issued or to be issued subsequent
to the most recent audit report. The Company provided its former auditors,
Jones, Jensen & Company with a copy of the foregoing disclosures. The Company
has filed a letter from the former auditors concurring with the foregoing
statements as an exhibit to this report on Form 10-QSB.
Neither the Company nor anyone acting on its behalf consulted Hansen
Barnett & Maxwell prior to its appointment regarding the application of
accounting principles to a specific completed or contemplated transaction, the
type of audit opinion, or other accounting advice that was considered by the
Company in reaching a decision as to an accounting, auditing, or financial
reporting issue. The Company requested that Hansen Barnett & Maxwell review the
foregoing disclosure and provided it with an opportunity to furnish the Company
with a letter containing any new information, clarification of its views, or
respects in which it disagreed with the Company's disclosure. Hansen Barnett &
Maxwell indicated that it was unnecessary to provide such a letter.
The Company and its current auditors have not disagreed on any items of
accounting treatment or financial disclosure.
