           Condensed Notes to the Financial Statements


(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, and its cash flows
for  the period from February 3, 2000 (date of inception  of  the
development stage), to March 31, 2000.  The results of operations
for  the period from February 3, 2000 (date of inception  of  the
development  stage), to March 31, 2000, may not be indicative  of
the results that may be expected for the period from February  3,
2000  (date of inception of the development stage), to  June  30,
2000.

(B)  History and Recent Events

History and Nature of Business -- The Company was organized under
the laws of the State of Utah on September 19, 1985.  The Company
was  engaged in the operation of sports clothing stores  but  was
unsuccessful and closed its final store in May 1989.  The Company
was dormant from May 1989 until February 3, 2000.

Recapitalization   --   On  February  3,  2000,   two   principal
shareholders of the Company (the "Selling Shareholders") and  the
Company  entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement with a group  of
investors  (the  "Purchasers").  Under the  terms  of  the  Stock
Purchase  Agreement, the Selling Shareholders  contributed  notes
payable and accrued interest to the Selling Shareholders totaling
$16,602 as capital of the Company with no additional shares being
issued, the Purchasers acquired 5,000,000 shares of common  stock
from  the Selling Shareholders by a cash payment of $300,000,  or
$0.06  per  share, and the Selling Shareholders and  one  of  the
Purchasers  returned  7,820,049 shares of  common  stock  to  the
Company  for  cancellation for no consideration.   No  stated  or
unstated  rights  were given in exchange for the cancellation  of
the  common  stock.  No gain or loss was recognized in connection
with  the  contribution of the notes payable and accrued interest
to capital.

Inception  of  the  Development Stage -- In connection  with  the
recapitalization  of the Company, the former board  of  directors
resigned  and  a  new board of directors was appointed  from  the
Purchasers.   Howard  S. Landa was also appointed  as  the  chief
executive officer and Andrew C. Bebbington was appointed  as  the
chief financial officer of the Company.  As a result of the Stock
Purchase Agreement and the changes in management, the Company was
reactivated   on   February  3,  2000.   The  development   stage
activities  of  the Company include raising capital  and  seeking
investment or merger opportunities.

(C)  Related Party Transactions

Prior to the change in executive management in February 2000, the
Company borrowed money from directors or shareholders in order to
fund  its continued existence.  These notes were unsecured,  were
due  on demand, and bore interest at a rate of 8% per annum.   On
February  3,  2000,  notes in the amount  of  $16,602,  including
accrued interest, were contributed to additional paid-in capital.

          ITEM 2.  MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
                      OR PLAN OF OPERATION


Historical and Recent Events

      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.
Initially, the Company engaged in the operation of sport clothing
stores,  but was unsuccessful and closed its final store  in  May
1989.   The  Company was dormant from May 1989 until February  3,
2000.

     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.  On February 3, 2000, two principal shareholders of
the  Company entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement with a group
of investors pursuant to which the following occurred:

          (1)  The investors purchased 5,000,000 shares of common
     stock from the two principal shareholders;

           (2)   The  two principal shareholders and one investor
     returned 7,820,049 shares of common stock to the Company for
     cancellation for no consideration; and

           (3)   The two principal shareholders contributed notes
     payable and accrued interest totaling $16,602 as capital  of
     the Company for no consideration.

      In  conjunction with this transaction, the former board  of
directors  resigned  and a new board of directors  was  appointed
from  the  new investor group.  As a result of the stock purchase
and change in management, the Company was reactivated on February
3,  2000, representing the inception of a new development  stage.
The  development stage activities of the Company include  raising
capital and seeking investment or merger opportunities.

Plan of Operations

      The  Company  has no current operations  or  revenue.   The
Company  has  only incidental expenses primarily associated  with
reactivating  the  Company and maintaining its corporate  status.
For  the period from February 3, 2000 (date of inception  of  the
development stage), to March 31 2000, the Company's expenses were
$4,629,  principally consisting of professional fees  and  travel
expenses.

      During  the  period  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.

      As  of March 31, 2000, the Company had cash of $987,607 and
liabilities of $4,951, resulting in working capital of $982,656.

      Management of the Company has evaluated certain  investment
or merger opportunities and continues to seek such opportunities.
Management  believes that the current cash balance is  sufficient
to  meet  its  existing operating commitments and to conduct  its
investigations  of potential investment or merger  opportunities.
The Company's need for additional capital beyond its current cash
balances will depend on the financial condition and capital needs
of  the  potential investment or merger candidate.

                   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.
