Notes to the Financial Statements
June 30, 2000 and December 31, 1999
NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
a. Organization
Lazarus Industries, Inc. (the "Company") was incorporated under the laws
of the State of Utah on December 31, 1985. The Company was incorporated for
the purpose of engaging in the business of developing, manufacturing and
marketing proprietary medical devices. In 1991, the Company discontinued its
operations, and liquidated its assets leaving the Company dormant until 1996
when the Company began its operations again.
b. Provision for Taxes
At June 30, 2000, the Company had net operating loss carryforwards of
approximately $266,000 that may be offset against future taxable income
through 2020. No tax benefit has been reported in the financial statements,
because the Company believes there is a 50% or greater chance the
carryforwards will expire unused. Accordingly, the potential tax benefits of
the net operating loss carryforwards are offset by a valuation allowance of
the same amount
c. Accounting Method
The financial statements are prepared using the accrual method of
accounting. The Company has elected a calendar year end.
d. Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and
assumptions that affect 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.
e. Cash and Cash Equivalents
The Company considers all highly liquid investments with a maturity of
three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents.
f. Basic Loss Per Share
The computation of basic income (loss) per share of common stock is based
on the weighted average number of shares issued and outstanding during the
period of the financial statements as follows:

g. Change in Accounting Principle
In June 1998, the FASB issued SFAS No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative
Instruments and Hedging Activities" which requires companies to record
derivatives as assets or liabilities, measured at fair market value. Gains or
losses resulting from changes in the values of those derivatives would be
accounted for depending on the use of the derivative and whether it qualifies
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. SFAS No. 133 is effective for all fiscal
quarters of fiscal years beginning after June 15, 1999. Management believes
the adoption of this statement will have no material impact on the Company's
financial statements.
h. Revenue Recognition
The Company currently has no source of revenues. Revenue recognition
policies will be determined when principal operations begin.
i. Unaudited Financial Statements
The accompanying unaudited financial statements include all of the
adjustments which, in the opinion of management, are necessary for a fair
presentation. Such adjustments are of a normal recurring nature.

NOTE 2 - DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS
On March 29, 1988, Gaslight, Inc. (Gaslight) consummated an exchange
agreement (the "Exchange Agreement"), with Lazarus and the shareholders of
Lazarus providing for the acquisition of Lazarus as a wholly-owned subsidiary
of Gaslight. Under the terms of the Exchange Agreement, Gaslight was required
to call and convene a meeting of its stockholders for the purpose of
submitting to its stockholders for approval proposals for a 25-to-1 reverse
stock split or share consolidation of the 19,000,000 shares of Gaslight's
common stock issued and outstanding at March 18, 1988; approval of the
Exchange Agreement, amendment of Gaslight's Articles of Incorporation to
change its name to "Lazarus Industries, Inc." and the election of five
designees of Lazarus to the Board of Directors of Gaslight.
In connection with the acquisition of Lazarus, Gaslight issued
2,036,800 post-split shares of its restricted common stock, par value $0.001
to the stockholders of Lazarus in exchange for all the issued and outstanding
capital stock of Lazarus. Consequently, Lazarus became a wholly-owned
subsidiary of Gaslight.
NOTE 3 - RELATED-PARTY TRANSACTIONS
The Company's president has paid out-of-pocket expenses through June 30,
2000 totaling $2,517 (including interest of $296.) The amount is unsecured,
accrues interest at 10% per annum and is due on demand.
NOTE 4 - GOING CONCERN
The Company's financial statements are prepared using generally accepted
accounting principles applicable to a going concern which contemplates the
realization of assets and liquidation of liabilities in the normal course of
business. The Company has not established revenues sufficient to cover its
operating costs and allow it to continue as a going concern. Management
intends to seek a merger with an existing, operating company. In the interim,
it has committed to meeting the Company's minimal operating expenses.

Part I - Item 2
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF
OPERATIONS
(1) Caution Regarding Forward-Looking Information
This quarterly report contains certain forward-looking statements and
information relating to the Company that are based on the beliefs of the
Company or management as well as assumptions made by and information currently
available to the Company or management. When used in this document, the words
"anticipate," "believe," "estimate," "expect" and "intend" and similar
expressions, as they relate to the Company or its management, are intended to
identify forward-looking statements. Such statements reflect the current view
of the Company regarding future events and are subject to certain risks,
uncertainties and assumptions, including the risks and uncertainties noted.
Should one or more of these risks or uncertainties materialize, or should
underlying assumptions prove incorrect, actual results may vary materially
from those described herein as anticipated, believed, estimated, expected or
intended. In each instance, forward-looking information should be considered
in light of the accompanying meaningful cautionary statements herein.
(2) Results of Operations
For the past several years, the Company has had no active business
operations, and has been seeking to acquire an interest in a business with
long-term growth potential. The Company currently has no commitment or
arrangement to participate in a business and cannot now predict what type of
business it may enter into or acquire. It is emphasized that the business
objectives discussed herein are extremely general and are not intended to be
restrictive on the discretion of the Company's management.
The Company is not aware of any trends that have or are reasonably likely
to have a material impact on its liquidity, net sales, revenues, or income
from continuing operations. There have been no events which have caused
material changes from period to period in one or more line items of the
financial statements or any seasonal aspects that have had a material effect
on the financial condition or results of operation.
During the preceding year, the Company has not experienced any material
changes in results of operation. During the quarter ended June 30, 2000, the
Company had $3,422 in general and administrative expenses, as compared to
$2,362 in expenses for the quarter ended June 30, 1999. All of such expenses
were incurred in connection with the Company's efforts to reactivate its
business.
The Company has realized a net loss for the three months ended June 30,
2000 and 1999, of $3,073 and $2,021, respectively; and a net loss since
inception of $266,094.
12
<PAGE>
(3) Liquidity and Capital Resources
The Company has not experienced a material change in financial condition
over the past year. At June 30, 2000, the Company had working capital of
approximately $33,000, which has not changed significantly since December 31,
1999. Working capital as of both dates consists of short-term investments,
and cash and cash equivalents. The Company is dependent upon management and/or
significant shareholders to provide sufficient working capital to preserve the
integrity of the corporate entity during this phase. It is the intent of
management and significant shareholders to provide sufficient working capital
necessary to support and preserve the integrity of the corporate entity.
Although the Company's assets consist of cash and cash equivalents, the
Company has no intent to become, or hold itself out to be, engaged primarily
in the business of investing, reinvesting, or trading in securities.
Accordingly, the Company does not anticipate being required to register
pursuant to the Investment Company Act of 1940, and expects to be limited in
its ability to invest in securities, other than cash equivalents and
government securities, in the aggregate amount of over 40% of its assets.
There can be no assurance that any investment made by the Company will not
result in losses.
The Company has very limited liquid assets, and such assets may not be
sufficient for the Company to meet its operating needs over the next twelve
months. The Company does not anticipate, however, that it will require
substantial revenue, or additional cash assets, until it enters into an
acquisition or reorganization transaction with a business opportunity. The
Company has no material revenues and its needs for capital will in all
likelihood change dramatically if it acquires an interest in a business
opportunity in the next twelve months. The Company's current operating plan
is to (a) cover the administrative and reporting requirements of a public
company; and (b) search for, and investigate, potential businesses, products,
technologies and companies for acquisition. At present, the Company has no
understandings, commitments or agreements with respect to the acquisition of
any business, product, technology or company, and there can be no assurance
that the Company will be able to identify any such business, product,
technology or entity suitable for an acquisition or reorganization
transaction. Moreover, there can be no assurance the Company will be
successful in its efforts to enter into consummate an acquisition or
reorganization transaction on terms favorable or beneficial to the Company and
its shareholders, or that it, or its successor, will be able to effectively
manage the business opportunity the Company acquires or becomes engaged in.
