(a development stage company)
Notes to Unaudited Financial Statements
NOTE 1 - ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND OTHER DISCLOSURES
The condensed financial statements included in this Form 10-QSB Report have been
prepared by the Registrant, without audit, pursuant to the rules and regulations
of the Securities and Exchange Commission. These financial statements have been
prepared for the purpose of providing information with respect to the interim
nine month period ending April 30, 1997, at a time when the Registrant was
without a board of directors and without any officers.
From the date of the Registrant's commencement as a development stage company,
on July 31, 1996, through July 22, 1997, the Registrant didn't conduct any
business operations. Commencing during the fourth quarter of the fiscal year
ending July 31, 1997, the Registrant conducted such business activities as
needed in preparation for the July 22, 1997 election of a board of directors.
The amounts stated in these financial statements are not purposeful for
analyzing the Registrant's normal business operations and should not be
considered indicative of the results to be expected for the entire year, nor for
the future corresponding quarter of the fiscal year ended July 31, 1998.
The accounting policies followed by the Registrant and other pertinent financial
statement disclosures are contained in the footnotes accompanying the
Registrant's audited financial statements for its fiscal year ended July 31,
1997. Those financial statements are contained in the Registrant's Form 10-KSB
Report which was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission at or about
the same time as this Form 10-QSB Report.
NOTE 2 - COMMON STOCK ISSUED AND OUTSTANDING
On July 22, 1997, by a Written Consent Resolution representing a vote of 61% of
the Registrant's shareholders, the Registrant changed its name to Arena Group,
Inc. At the same time a reverse split in the Registrant's common stock was
approved whereby one (1) share of common stock reflecting the Registrant's new
name, Arena Group, Inc., will be issued for seven (7) shares of the Registrant's
common stock held under its previous name. The herein presented financial
statements reflect, in all respects, the Registrant's common stock as adjusted
for the 1 for 7 reverse split.
The Registrant issued 214,285 shares of its post split common stock during July
of 1997. These shares were issued for a total cash consideration of $15,000. Of
the total 214,285 shares, 174,285 shares were issued to one of the Registrant's
directors and 40,000 shares were issued to an individual who, after such
issuance, holds 8.3% of the Registrant's total issued and outstanding common
stock.
The results of operations as presented on a per common share basis is reflected
in the accompanying Statement of Operations by using the total number of post
split common shares outstanding as of the Registrant's fiscal year ended July
31, 1997. Inasmuch as the Registrant is a development stage company and did not
conduct any business operations during the period presented, using the number of
common shares outstanding as of the Registrant's year end provides a more
comparable and conservative approach to the per share computation for the
present and in future periods.

PART I - FINANCIAL INFORMATION
ITEM 2. PLAN OF OPERATIONS
The Registrant's two wholly owned subsidiaries were placed under the control of
a Court appointed Receiver during 1994. The business activities of the
Registrant's subsidiaries comprised the only business in which the Registrant
was engaged.
As a result, for approximately three years, the Registrant has been inactive and
has not generated any revenue from any sources. Furthermore, the Registrant has
been without management, including a functioning board of directors, for
approximately the same period of time. These facts have resulted in a dormancy
with respect to any business operations or other activities of the Registrant.
Not until the election of a board of directors in July, 1997, and the
Registrant's limited sale of unregistered securities, has the Registrant been
under any type of management and have funds been available to conduct any
business activities. These facts should be given due consideration when reading
statements made regarding the Registrant's expectations as to its future
operations and other activities disclosed in this Form 1-=QSB Report. Such
statements constitute forward looking information within the meaning of the
Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Although the Registrant
believes that its expectations are based on reasonable assumptions within the
bounds of its knowledge and experience, there can be no assurance that actual
results will not differ materially from the expectations expressed herein.
The Registrant did not have any business operations during the period covered by
this Report. Additionally, the Registrant only engaged in certain organizational
and minimal capitalization activities from the period covered by this Report
through the date of filing this Report with the Securities and Exchange
Commission. The Registrant's intent is to seek a new business venture. In
attempting to locate a viable business venture, which the Registrant has not
attempted to define in any detail (hereinafter referred to as a "Target
Company"), the Registrant may counter factors which would cause expectations to
differ from those expressed herein. Such factors would include, but not be
limited to the following: 1) changes in federal and/or state securities laws; 2)
changes in federal and/or state income tax laws relating to tax free
reorganizations; 3) economic conditions and their associated impact on equity
security markets; 4) management of the Registrant having the ability to locate a
Target Company; and 5) the Registrant's ability to have sufficient capital
available for an undeterminable future period of time in order to seek and find
a Target Company.
As previously stated, the Registrant was essentially dormant through the period
of time that its subsidiaries were being operated by a Court appointed Receiver.
During the period covered by this Report, no substantial changes occurred from
those that existed on July 31, 1996, when the Court discharged and released the
Receiver and closed the proceedings with respect to the Registrant's
subsidiaries. The Registrant was not a party to the Receivership nor was the
Registrant named as a defendant in any of the Receivership proceedings.

The Registrant remained essentially inactive until the fourth quarter of its
fiscal year ended July 31, 1997. At that time, the Registrant's shareholders,
among other items, elected a board of directors, approved a change in the
Registrant's name and agreed to reverse split the Registrant's common stock.
Reference is made to the Registrant's Form 10-KSB Report for the fiscal year
ended July 31, 1997, which contains the Registrant's plan of operations for the
twelve month period ending with its fiscal year of July 31, 1998, in
significantly greater detail. The board of directors elected in July of 1997
have set goals which they believe are attainable and which should not exceed the
cash available to the Registrant from its recently completed limited sale of its
securities.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
As of the end of August 1997, the Registrant had cash assets of approximately
$13,500 and no accrued liabilities. The Registrant anticipates that further
costs will be incurred for legal, accounting and other related matters in
conjunction with bringing its reporting requirements with the Securities and
Exchange Commission current. Additional financial obligations may be incurred in
attempting to locate a Target Company and to create an interest in the
Registrant which will result in a publicly traded market for the Registrant's
common stock being established. These endeavors will result in management making
time commitments and incurring out-of-pocket costs, which the Registrant has
agreed to reimburse. Additionally, the Registrant shall pay to one of its
directors a monthly fee of $250 for incidental costs incurred relative to the
Registrant's shareholder and business activities. As a result, if sufficient
cash is not available for these and other expenditures, the Registrant may issue
shares of its equity securities or enter into a debt arrangement with management
to satisfy those obligations.
