PART I
Item 1. Prior Business
On March 28, 1994, the Company entered into an Agreement and Plan
of Reorganization ("Reorganization Agreement") with R-S Iso-Block
Produktions GmbH, a German limited liability company ("Iso-Block
GmbH"), Josef Ratey, an individual ("Ratey"), Helge Seidel, an
individual ("Seidel"), and R-S Plus Investment Corp., a Florida
corporation ("R-S PLUS"). Pursuant to the Reorganization Agreement,
on March 31, 1995 the Company purchased from Ratey and Seidel all
of the equity interest in Iso-Block GmbH, and purchased from
R-S Plus all of its right, title and interest in and to Iso-Block
GmbH, including all R-S Plus property heretofore contributed to
Iso-Block GmbH and all R-S Plus's rights to Iso-Block profits, in
exchange for the issuance of an aggregate of 2,000,000 shares of
the Company's authorized but heretofore unissued common stock, no
par value (the "Exchange Shares"). In addition, Mr. Ratey, Mr.
Seidel and R-S Plus were entitled to receive options for a two-year
period to purchase an aggregate of not more than 1,000,000 shares
of the Company at a nominal price in order too prevent their
aggregate equity interest in the Company from being diluted below
57%. In 1995, Iso-Block GmbH changed its name to R-S ISO-Block
Produktions und Bautrager GmbH, which permitted it to engage in
the business of constructing buildings as well as manufacture and
production of building materials.
In fiscal years ended 1995 and 1996, Iso-Block GmbH had certain
operations in Germany. The Company wound down such operations in
the closing months of 1996. See Part II, Item 6 below.
Current Business of the Company
The Company now functions entirely as an US company engaged in
the business of residential home construction as general contractor
as well as the holding company of Franchise Connection, Inc.,
("Franchise Connection") a strategic conglomerate of new and
emerging franchise companies and a team of franchise experts that
work together to match the aspirations of entrepreneurs with viable
analogous franchise concepts.
Residential Home Building.
The demand for housing in Colorado has exploded during the 1990s
because of the migration to Colorado of numerous large corporations
as well as the expansion of Colorado domiciled businesses due to
the current excellent economic climate. February, 1997 home sales
in the Denver Metro area was the second best on record in which
5,297 homes were placed under contract in contrast with February,
1992 in which there were 3,436 homes placed under contract. It is
estimated that the only factor which could slow home sales in the
Denver area would be rising mortgage interest rates. The
Company believes the strong housing market will allow it to build
custom homes very profitably.
Franchising Operations
Franchise Connection, Inc. was incorporated in Colorado in 1996
with headquarters in Denver, Colorado. The Company plans to
form strategic partnerships with prospective or existing
franchise operations ("Franchisors") under which it will provide
them with marketing and sales services plus business and legal
services in return for an equity interest in, and/or a portion
of their royalties. It is targeting private companies which are
seeking to franchise expertise or financial capacity to
successfully engage in franchising. The Company will offer
comprehensive franchise marketing and consulting services to its
Franchisors companies including operations, personnel,
management, training, legal and financial advice. In addition,
Franchise Connection will assume total responsibility for the
recruitment of franchisees.
This will include national media advertising, trade show attendance,
and other forms of promotion supported by a commissioned sales staff.
In the evaluation of a prospective Franchisor, the Company will
generally be guided by a number of factors, including analysis
of a prospect's financial position, the experience of its
management, the product, service and/or concept offered and the
identification of its competitors, as well as its ability to
show a profit at the franchisee level. To date, Franchise
Connection has established a strategic partnership with several
companies which will be the initial base franchises. Franchise
Connection receives a franchise sales commission plus has
varying interests in each company ranging from full ownership to
a royalty agreement. The initial base franchises include
Brilliant Marketing! Inc., a small business marketing and
training firm wholly owned by Franchise Connection which offers
a step-by-step, comprehensive, consistent marketing system that
is custom designed for each client; ENCORE NAILS, a nail salon
which offers women a nail covering which is attractive and
durable using a revolutionary, proprietary process;
HYDRO-PHYSICS, a pipe inspection service using video technology
to inspect or locate underground water or sewer pipe breakages;
and, FOOT LAB, a full service, compact, self contained, insole
"foot bed" manufacturing station which can produce a foot
platform that is custom shaped to a person's foot.
There are many firms engaged in the business of franchising small
companies, and competition is fierce. Franchise Connection believes
that its particular marketing orientation (the marketing of less
expensive franchises of low-entry cost businesses) combined with
Johnny Wilson's experience and background will enable it to be
successful.
Franchise Connection and its subsidiaries currently employ 4
people in full-time positions and employ others as needed. Staff
will be added only as needed, and there is a labor pool or
persons with experience in the business of Franchise Connection
available at a reasonable cost.
Employees
The Company 's only employees are its executive officers, who
devote most of their time to Company affairs, and the four employees
of Franchise Connection, Inc.
Item 2. Description of Property.
The Company occupies facilities provided at no charge by its
President, Mr. Egin Bresnig in his residence; these facilities are
expected to be adequate in the near term, through fiscal 1998.
Franchise connection leases from unaffiliated parties approximately
1,383 square feet of space at 4155 East Jewell Avenue, Suite 1000,
Denver, Colorado 80222. Management of
Franchise Connection believes that these facilities will be
sufficient for their needs for at least the next twelve months.
Item 3. Legal Proceedings.
The Company and its President, Egin Bresnig, have been named as
defendants in Texas Finance Incorporated v. Iso Block Products
USA, Inc., et al., filed in the United States District Court for
the District of Colorado, Civil Action No. 96-WM-1961. The suit
alleges among other things that the plaintiff purchased
securities of the Company in reliance upon misleading statements
knowingly made by the Company, Mr. Bresnig and others, and seeks
return of the price paid for the securities plus damages under
various federal and state securities laws. The Company has not
answered the lawsuit but has instead filed a motion to dismiss
the complaint upon various grounds, including among others that
plaintiff has sustained no damages and lacks standing to bring
the action. The Company intends to vigorously defend the action
if it does not prevail on its motion to dismiss. Management
believes that, should the action go to trial, the Company will
prevail on the merits. Otherwise, the Company is not subject to
any pending or threatened legal proceedings.
Item 4. Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders.
No matters were submitted to the Company's security holders
during the fiscal year ended March 31, 1997.
PART II
Item 5. Market for Common Equity and Related Stockholder Matters.
Market Information
The Company's outstanding Common Shares are not publicly quoted
or traded, nor were they traded during the two fiscal years
ended March 31, 1997. The Company intends to arrange in the
second fiscal quarter of 1997 for the quotation and trading of
its shares in the over-the-counter markets. There is no
assurance that an active market will arise in the Company's
shares.
Holders
The Company had 326 shareholders of record as of June 6,
1997, which does not include shareholders whose shares are held
in street or nominee names.
Dividends
The Company does not expect to pay a cash dividend upon its
capital stock in the foreseeable future. Payment of dividends in
the future will depend on the Company's earnings (if any) and
its cash requirements at that time.
Item 6. Management's Discussion and Analysis or Plan of Operation.
Business Operations
The Company's principal business operations through March 31,
1992 consisted of leasing out computers, peripheral products and
software. The Company realized only nominal revenues through
March 31, 1992. Due to lack of significant revenues or
operations, the Company remained in the developmental stage, as
defined in Financial Accounting Standards Board Statement No. 7
until fiscal year ended March 31, 1994.
The first half of the business year of 1994 was occupied in
establishing the infra structure to gear up for the planned
operational activities of the German subsidiary, ISO-Block GmbH.
Securing authorization to construct homes as a general contractor
and obtaining the necessary financing in Germany became a
bureaucratic nightmare. The Company had a very difficult time
trying to raise capital to start single-family and multi-family
developmental projects as a general contractor. The Company decided
to begin building single family custom homes at first, using the
Company's proprietary building system, before attempting larger
and more aggressive projects. Not until the first quarter of 1995
was the Company able to raise sufficient additional capital to
begin operations.
The Company had a difficult but promising start, and the wholly
owned subsidiary Iso-Block GmbH began custom home construction
in Germany in the second quarter of 1995. A proof-of-concept
home was built to demonstrate the Company's proprietary building
system, several homes were completed for customers and others
were initiated. Bigger projects were planned, some with partial
financing from local governments. The weather in Germany in the
fall and winter of 1995 (third and fourth quarter 1995) did turn
so bad that it was practically impossible, under those circumstances,
to build anything for several months. Also a very negative
business climate developed in Germany with an abnormally high
unemployment rate, the highest since Word War II. We were,
however, successful in raising additional capital and hoped for
better weather and a better economy in Germany. The weather
improved but the business climate in Germany has not. The
construction industry, in general, in Germany hit bottom in 1995.
The financial statement section below discloses operating
losses the past two years of approximately $1,031,000 of which
the major amount was due to the very adverse business climate in
Germany as outlined above. However, in addition the previous
Chairman of the Board and CEO, Mr. Josef Ratey, resident of
Germany, and the Company's major shareholder did not provide
the required direction and guidance. Mr. Helge Seidel, manager
of Iso-Block GmbH continued fighting an uphill battle trying
to build houses in an ever more eroding construction business
environment. The US side of the Company, represented by Mr.
Egin Bresnig, was challenged with taking over the offices of
CEO and the presidency of the Company from Mr. Josef Ratey.
After this change of leadership, the Company and its new
management initiated drastic action to stop the financial
bleeding. The process of extraditing the Company from its
overseas operations was very costly because of the archaic
business practices still in place in Germany. Hourly wages for
an unskilled laborer in Germany with all the mandatory
financial benefits required by the government are so high that
the Company attempted importing labor from France. However, it
is expected in Europe that construction employees must be paid
even if the weather prohibits work. The Company faced poor
weather for weeks at time and the labor costs continued. We
found out the hard way that Germany is one of the most expensive
places in the world in which to do business. We could not leave
projects unfinished but rather completed them knowing that these
projects would lose money.
The Company explored other business opportunities in the United
States. Negotiations with one potential venture partner came
close to being completed but the Company withdrew from the
negotiations due to repeated delays. Management of the Company
decided to cease all operational activities in Germany. The
better part of 1996 was spent winding down and closing the
German operation.
During the 1996 fiscal year, the Company decided to
discontinue its European operations because of the continuing
recession in Germany and the difficulty in managing its European
subsidiaries from Denver, Colorado. Iso-Block GmbH ceased
operations in July, 1996. The Company incurred dissolution
expenses in ceasing operations of its two European subsidiaries
of $166,000. The Company retained assets of $126,000 consisting
of undeveloped property in Kehl, Germany and an account
receivable for completed construction of one residential
property in Germany. On December 9, 1996 the Company sold its
Iso-Block GmbH subsidiary, including all liabilities and assets,
to Big B Tex A.G. (CH), a Swiss company domiciled in Zurich,
and the Company paid $40,000 to the buyer in addition to
transferring its Iso-Block GmbH assets. Big B Tex A.G. assumed
all Iso-Block GmbH liabilities and future contingent
liabilities, if any.
Results of Operations - Fiscal Year 1997
The Company realized a loss of $348,921 on total revenue of
$46,228 for the fiscal year ended March 31, 1997. As of March 31,
1997, the Company had accumulated a deficit since inception of
$1,357,440. The loss realized was primarily due to beginning
operations in the U.S.,the closing of operations in Germany and
general and administrative expenses incurred to date.
Results of Operations - Fiscal Year 1996
The Company realized a loss of $682,136 on total revenue of
$618,421 for the fiscal year ended March 31, 1996. As of March
31, 1996, the Company had accumulated a deficit since inception
of $831,889. The loss incurred was diverse and was primarily due
to adverse whether and economic conditions in Germany. These
activities included construction material, various services, poor
wether conditions and increased labor costs.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Cash on-hand on March 31,1997 was nominal in light of the
Company's home building and franchise plans. During the fiscal
year the Company issued 652,000 preferred shares in exchange for
cash of $521,600. The Company also issued 245,353 common shares. Of
which 200,000 shares, valued at $130,000, were issued for services
rendered, 35,000 shares were issued for employment incentive in
Germany and 10,353 common shares were issued as an incentive to the
issuance of preferred stock.
Cash totaled $302,931 at March 31, 1997 compared with $10,296
at March 31, 1996. The $292,635 increase in cash was primarily
from operating activities. As of March 31, 1996 , the Company
had raised $31,136 from the sale of its common shares and
$527,470 in net proceeds from the sale of its Series A, Non-Voting
Convertible Preferred Stock, stated value $1.25 per share and
from the sale of its Series B and C, Non-Voting Convertible
Preferred Stock, stated value $1.50 per share, to a small number
of persons who are residents of Germany.
Income Taxes and Net Operating Losses
At March 31, 1997, the Company had net operating loss
carryforwards for United States and German income tax purposes
totaling $1,357,440, which are available to offset future taxable
income. These NOL's expire through 2004.
Plan of Operation
The Company intends to continue as general contractor in the
United States and has purchased two residential building sites
in the Outlook subdivision in Broomfield, Colorado, located
approximately five miles northwest of Denver, Colorado, The
Company has the capacity to build at least one speculative house
at a constructed retail price of $250,000 and a constructed cost
price of approximately $149,000. Construction was started June
1997. Once the first residential house is constructed and has
passed all building inspections and sold, the Company will
immediately begin construction on its second building site. The
Company expects to continue its construction program as long as the
residential real estate business climate continues its intensity
in Colorado. According to the March 7, 1997 issue of The Rocky
Mountain News "SunMicrosystems' $200 million planned research
and development campus in Broomfield, Colorado already has
helped jump-start the metro area's home building activity." In
January, there were 75 permits pulled for single-family homes in
Broomfield, compared with only 13 in January 1996. The
relatively healthy month for permit activity is a sign of the
"Goldilocks" economy according the Home Builders Association of
Metropolitan Denver. One of the strongest areas is expected to
be Broomfield, Colorado, thanks to SunMicrosystems, which will
create 4,000 jobs at an average salary of $70,000. The Company
is positioned correctly to take advantage of this growth by
establishing itself as general contractor in Broomfield. If the
Company realizes its profit goals by completing the first two
speculative homes then it intends to become a developer of
housing projects. Even though the current management of the
Company has limited building experience the availability of
professional construction consultants should provide the
necessary guidance to the Company. Management believes it will
be successful in raising additional capital required to become a
significant player in the Broomfield and Metro Denver housing
construction market.
The Company is very excited about its completion of ownership
of The Franchise Connection, Inc. because of the importance of
franchising in today's economy. Franchising has been
responsible for over 35% of the United State's total retail
sales in the 1990s and is projected too grow to over 50% of all
retail sales in the twenty-first century. Franchising has
proved to be an outstanding method of distribution and market
penetration. Established franchise organizations are growing by
11% annually and service related and business format franchises
are growing by 39% annually. Franchising has added two
million jobs to the US economy the past ten years. The
Franchise Connection, Inc. intends to capitalize on this
predominate and enormous growth trend by exploiting its
franchise expertise in conjunction with viable, talented
entrepreneurs who know and understand their business. These
business owners work diligently to insure that their business
will be successful and that it maintains its strong niche that
can be duplicated on a national and/or international scale
through franchising. By working in a "partnership" relationship
with The Franchise Connection, Inc., these entrepreneurs can
continue to make their business ever better while using The
Franchise Connection, Inc. to recruit franchises and expand
their concept globally. Using this strategic alliance,
marketing costs, administration costs, and legal expenses can be
controlled and, thus, general overhead can be reduced. The
Franchise Connection's corporate objective is to acquire
successful business concepts and via franchise sales to multiply
its revenues over the next three years. The Franchise
Connection, Inc. has formed alliances with the following
companies; each representing a successful prototype and
possessing an unique position in their industry. They all have
a proprietary product with the ability to dominate their market
if expanded rapidly. The concepts are very teachable, have a
universal consumer base and have very affordable entry
investment. Each one has management in place with the technical
expertise to operate the business. With the franchising
knowledge and marketing know-how of the Franchise Connection
they all have the ability to exceed five hundred units in a very
short time. The demand has never been higher to get into
business. The opportunity seeker is more knowledgeable and
seeking more than just buying a job.
Brilliant Marketing offers marketing and training services to
small businesses that is custom designed to fit the client and
his budget. Brilliant Marketing offers a proprietary product,"
The Living Marketing Manual" featuring an annualized marketing
blueprint that gets guaranteed results. With more than 22.5
million businesses currently operating the US and an additional
800,000 new businesses starting up every year the marketing
niche for this business is unlimited. Brilliant Marketing has a
letter of intent to provide marketing product to be made
available for distribution by a network of over 500
representatives. Encore Nails is an upscale nail studio in the
fast growing nail beautification industry. It uses a
revolutionary, proprietary process to offer clients attractive,
durable, environmentally safe, and technologically advanced nail
coverings. The product was tested for four years in a very
successful studio prior to being offered outside the control
market. A new unit will open in March, 1997 to serve as a
prototype unit. With the growth in the nail industry exploding,
Encore Nails is on the leading edge. Franchise Connection has
acquired the franchise rights which includes a 40% ownership of
Encore Nails and 50% of all franchise fees and has a letter of
intent to joint venture the franchising with financial partners
who will have day to day operation responsibility. Franchise
Connection projects opening 12 units in the next 12 months.
Hydro-Physics is the first of its kind, national video pipe
inspection service franchise that saves commercial and
residential customers thousands of dollars in unnecessary repair
cost. The company utilizes a self-contained portable state-of
-the-art video technology to identify, locate, and verify
underground pipeline problems. The market is wide-open with
limited competition. Hydro-Physics has a five year history of
profitability. By using technology in insure portability with
the ability to inspect 3 inch pipes by a one man crew the
concept has wide appeal. The company has contracted for two
franchises (Idaho and Missouri). Franchise Connection has the
exclusive marketing rights and receives 25% of royalty over five
years with a conversion factor to own 30% of the parent
company. It is expected that 10 units will be opened over the
next 12 months. Footlab is a full service, compact,
self-contained foot insole manufacturing station that produces
hand-make custom shaped foot support inserts from a variety of
materials depending on the intended use in less that five
minutes. Re-designed from a 25 year old invention from
Switzerland and in use in the winter ski industry for many years
this concept can be located in athletic footwear stores,
sporting good stores, golf pro shops, and department stores.
With approximately 90 % of the 275 million US and Canadian
population needing foot inserts the market is very large. The
operating units require less than 20 sq. feet which opens up
many avenues of opportunity. Franchise Connection is the
franchisor and owns 100% of Footlab with a contract to pay 10%
royalty fees to the founder who also has the responsibility to
provide all research and development of product.

Because the Company was not subject to the reporting
requirements of the Exchange Act during the fiscal year ended
March 31, 1995, no filings under Section 16(a) were required.
Item 10. Executive Compensation.
Cash Compensation and Compensation Pursuant to Plans
For the fiscal year ended March 31, 1997, Mr. Egin Bresnig, CEO
and Mr. Dean Wicker, Secretary received cash compensation
of $47,500 each annually, and reimbursement of out-of-pocket
expenses incurred on behalf of the Company. The Company does
not have in effect any pension, profit-sharing, stock
appreciation or bonus plans. The Board of Directors authorized
a Medical Insurance Plan for its President, Mr. Egin Bresnig,
effective January 3, 1997. Other benefit plans are described
below.
Employee Stock Compensation Plan. The Company has adopted the
1993 Employee Stock Compensation Plan for employees, officers,
directors of the Company and advisors to the Company (the "ESC
Plan"). The Company has reserved a maximum of 500,000 Common
Shares to be issued upon the grant of awards under the ESC Plan.
Employees will recognize taxable income upon the grant of Common
Stock equal to the fair market value of the Common Stock on the
date of the grant and the Company will recognize a compensating
deduction at such time. The ESC Plan will be administered by the
Board of Directors or Compensation Committee. No Common Stock
has been awarded under the ESC Plan.
Compensatory Stock Option Plan. The Company has adopted the
1993 Compensatory Stock Option Plan for officers, employees,
potential key employees, non-employee directors and advisors
(the "CSO Plan"). The Company has reserved a maximum of
1,000,000 Common Shares to be issued upon the exercise of
options granted under the CSO Plan. The CSO Plan is intended to
qualify as an "incentive stock option" plan under Section 422 of
the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. Options will be
granted under the CSO Plan at exercise prices to be determined
by the Board of Directors or other CSO Plan administrator. With
respect to options granted pursuant to the CSO Plan, optionees
will not recognize taxable income upon the grant of options, but
will realize income (or capital loss) at the time the options
are exercised to purchase Common Stock. The amount of income
will be equal to the difference between the exercise price and
the fair market value of the Common Stock on the date of the
exercise. The CSO Plan will be administered by the Board of
Directors or a Compensation Committee of directors. Subsequent
to year-end, an aggregate of 600,000 common shares subject to
purchase under options have been granted under the CSO Plan. See
Item 11 below.

The following table sets forth information regarding compensation

Exchange Shares issued to R-S PLUS pursuant to the Exchange

cancelled and are reflected as such on the Company's records of
stock transfer and registry, but have not yet been physically

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT
Board of Directors
ISO BLOCK PRODUCTS USA, INC.
I have audited the accompanying consolidated comparative balance
sheet of ISO Block Products USA, Inc., as of March 31, 1997 and
1996 and the related consolidated comparative - statements of
operations, shareholder's equity and cash flows for the years
then ended. These consolidated comparative financial statements
are the responsibility of the Company's management. My
responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated
comparative f inancial statements based on my audit.
I conducted my audit in accordance with generally accepted
auditing standards. These standards require that I plan and
perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether
the financial statements are ree of material misstatement. An
audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An
audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and
the significant estimates made by management, as well as
evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. I
believe that my audit provides a reasonable basis for my opinion.
In my opinion, the consolidated comparative financial statements
referred to above, present fairly, in all material respects, the
financial position of ISO Block Products USA, Inc., at March 31,
1997 and 1996 and the results of its operations and cash flows
for the years then ended in conformity with generally accepted

-----------------------------

receivable.

real estate but are not concentrated in a limited number of
borrowers. The mortgages are from high quality entities and
secured by high value real estate to limit the Company's
exposure to concentrations of credit risk.
The Company's mortgages receivable are classified as available
for sale as the Company does not have the positive intent to
hold to maturity or does not intend to trade actively. These
securities are reported at fair value with unrealized gains and
losses reported as a net amount as a separate component of
stockholders' equity.
