                                     PART I

Item 1.   THE BUSINESS

General

     The Registrant was incorporated  under the laws of the State of Delaware on
November 29, 1988,  and issued  500,000  shares of its Common Stock,  $.0001 par
value (the "Common  Stock") to TRIM-A-LAWN on January 23, 1989, for $1,000 cash.
The  Registrant  was organized  with a view toward (a) the  distribution  of the
500,000  shares  of  the  Registrant's  Common  Stock  to  the  shareholders  of
TRIM-A-LAWN  and (b) the subsequent  search for,  location of and combination of
the Registrant with a privately-held business enterprise.  The Registrant has no
current  business  operations,  except  for  the  activities  of  its  officers,
directors and consultants in searching for a potential  combination partner. The
Registrant  has limited assets and no operating  income.  Since  inception,  the
costs associated with the  Registrant's  search for a merger candidate have been
and will be paid by the  Registrant  and by the  officers  and  directors,  on a
discretionary  basis.  The  Registrant's  offices  are  located at 4180 La Jolla
Village Drive, Suite 500, La Jolla, California 92037.

     The Registrant proposes to combine with an existing, privately-held company
which  is  profitable   and,  in   management's   view,  has  growth   potential
(irrespective  of the industry in which it is  engaged).  A  combination  may be
structured as a merger, consolidation, exchange of the Registrant's Common Stock
for stock or  assets  or any  other  form  which  will  result  in the  combined
enterprise's  being a  publicly-held  corporation.  The Registrant will pursue a
combination with a company or business enterprise that satisfies its combination
suitability  standards by advertising in one or more  newspapers or magazines to
establish  contact with,  or by otherwise  contacting,  selected  privately-held
companies which are profitable and are believed to have growth potential.  There
are no assurances  that  management of the  Registrant  will be able to locate a
suitable  combination  partner or that a combination  can be structured on terms
acceptable to the Registrant.

     Pending  negotiation  and  consummation  of a  combination,  the Registrant
anticipates  that  it  will  have  limited  business  activities,  will  have no
significant  sources  of  revenue  and will  incur no  significant  expenses  or
liabilities. If expenses are incurred and funds are necessary the Registrant may
undertake  a private  placement  of its  common  stock or borrow  the  necessary
capital from its officers and directors.  Should  necessary  funds be available,
the Registrant will engage  attorneys,  accountants  and/or other consultants to
evaluate and assist in completing a potential combination.

Capital Expenditures

     The Registrant plans no significant expenditures.

Employees

     As of December 31, 1996 the Registrant had no full or part time employees.

ITEM 2.   PROPERTIES

     As of December 31, 1996 the Registrant did not own any property.

ITEM 3.   LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

     The Registrant is not a party to any material legal proceedings, nor to the
Registrant's   knowledge,   are  there  any  other  material  legal  proceedings
contemplated against it.

ITEM 4.   SUBMISSION OF MATTERS TO A VOTE OF SECURITY HOLDERS

     During the fourth  quarter of the fiscal year covered by this  report,  the
Registrant  held its 1996 Annual Meeting of Shareholders  and submitted  various
matters  to be  voted  on by  the  shareholders.  The  1996  Annual  Meeting  of
Shareholders  was held on  Tuesday,  October  29,  1996,  at 3:00 p.m.,  at 3900
Paradise Road, Suite 263, Las Vegas, Nevada,  pursuant written notice. As of the
Record  Date,  October 15,  1996,  there were issued and  outstanding  2,185,000
shares  (pre-reverse split) of the Registrant's common stock entitled to vote at
said annual meeting.  There were present in person or by proxy 1,414,374  shares
at said meeting.  The matters  submitted to the vote of the shareholders and the
results of said vote are as follows:

     (1) Proposal No. 1 was the election of four (4)  directors  for the ensuing
year and term ending December 31, 1997. The nominees for directors were,  Thomas
R. Brooksbank,  George G. Chachas, James E. Franklin and Joseph Milanowski.  All
four nominees were elected as directors to serve for the ensuing year with votes
for the election of directors being cast as follows:

Joseph Milanowski        1,414,374           None 

</TABLE>

     (2) Proposal No. 2 was to ratify and approve the  appointment  of McBride &
Reeves as  independent  auditors of the Registrant for the fiscal years 1996 and
1997.  The  shareholders  approved  the  appointment  of  McBride  &  Reeves  as
independent  auditors of the Registrant for the fiscal years 1996 and 1997, with
1,414,384  votes  cast in favor of such  appointment  and no  votes  against  or
abstaining.

     (3) Proposal No. 3 was to ratify and approve the amendment and  restatement
of the  Certificate  of  Incorporation  in its  entirety in order to correct the
errors  on the  original  Certificate  of  Incorporation  and to  eliminate  the
Registrant's class of preferred stock in its entirety. The shareholders approved
and adopted  proposal no. 3 with 1,414,384  votes cast in favor of said proposal
and no votes against or abstaining.

     (4) Proposal No. 4 was to ratify and approve the amendment and  restatement
of the  Bylaws of the  Registrant  to  clarify  the  rights  and  ability of the
Registrant's  directors  and  shareholders  to  take  action  on  behalf  of the
Registrant.  The shareholders approved and adopted proposal no. 4 with 1,414,384
votes cast in favor of said proposal and no votes against or abstaining.

     (5)  Proposal  No. 5 was to ratify  and  approve a one (1) for one  hundred
(100)  reverse  split  of the  shares  of the  Common  Stock  of the  Registrant
effective on the seventh day following the Annual Meeting of  Shareholders.  The
shareholders  approved and adopted  proposal no. 5 with 1,413,365  votes cast in
favor of said  proposal,  1,009 votes cast  against  said  proposal and no votes
abstaining.  The one (1) for 100  reverse  split of the issued  and  outstanding
shares  of  Common  Stock of the  Registrant  became  effective  on the close of
business on November 5, 1997.

     (6) Proposal  No. 6 was to ratify,  adopt and approve the  1996-1997  Stock
Compensation Plan in order to allow the Registrant to compensate such attorneys,
accountants  and consultants as necessary to maintain the  Registrant's  federal
and state corporate, securities and tax filings and in seeking out a combination
partner for the Registrant. The shareholders approved and adopted proposal no. 6
with 1,413,365 votes cast in favor of said proposal,  no votes cast against said
proposal and 1,009 votes abstaining.

ITEM 7.   MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION 
          AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

General

     The Registrant is in the  development  stage with a view towards  combining
with an  existing,  privately-held  company  or  business  enterprise  which  is
profitable and, in management's  opinion,  has growth potential.  The Registrant
has no  significant  assets,  revenues or  expenses  and the  Registrant  is not
expected  to  have  significant  operations  until  a  business  combination  is
effected.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

     With the exception  with the sale $12,000  raised in September 1996 through
the sale of a total of 600,000 shares  (pre-reverse  split) of the  Registrant's
Common Stock to Thomas R. Brooksbank,  George G. Chachas,  James E. Franklin and
Thomas Hantges,  there have been no material changes in the financial  condition
of the Registrant  since its  inception,  nor is a material  change  anticipated
until the Registrant is able to identify and consummate a business combination.

     However,  it should be noted  the  working  capital  of the  Registrant  is
extremely  low and  thus the  Registrant  may have to  undertake  an  additional
private  placement of its Common Stock on short notice if  additional  funds are
needed by the Registrant.

                                     Page 3
<PAGE>

Results of Operations

     For the year ended  December 31, 1996 the  Registrant had a loss of $80,112
or $0.13 per  share.  This  compares  with a net  income of $0.00,  or $0.00 per
share,  for the previous  year ended  December 31, 1995. It should be noted that
the loss per share of common  stock was computed by dividing the net loss by the
weighted  average number of shares of common stock  outstanding for the year and
prior  periods.  For 1996 the weighted  average number of shares of Common Stock
was 622,210 shares after accounting for a 1 for 100 reverse stock split approved
on October 29, 1996 and effective November 5, 1996.

     There are two main reasons for the  Registrant's net loss incurred in 1996.
First, the Registrant had no revenue in 1996.  Second,  the Registrant  incurred
certain legal and  consulting  services,  which totaled  $75,600,  in 1996.  The
$75,600  accounted  for  94%  of  the  operating  costs  of  the  Company.   The
Registrant's common stock was issued in exchange for these services, and thus no
cash was expended by the Registrant in for these services. A portion of the cash
raised in September  1996 was  expended in bringing  current the past due filing
fees,  taxes,  processing fees and auditor fees with the Securities and Exchange
Commission,  state of Delaware, proxy companies and the Registrant's independent
auditors, respectively.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS

Board of Directors
Curbstone Acquisition Corp.
La Jolla, California


We have audited the accompanying  balance sheets of Curbstone  Acquisition Corp.
(a Delaware  corporation in the development  stage), as of December 31, 1996 and
1995, and the related statements of operations,  stockholders'  equity, and cash
flows as of December 31, 1996, 1995 and 1994. These financial statements are the
responsibility of the Company's management.  Our responsibility is to express an
opinion on these  financial  statements  based on our audits.  The statements of
operations,  stockholders' equity and cash flows of Curbstone  Acquisition Corp.
as of December 31, 1991 and from November 29, 1988 (inception),  were audited by
other auditors  whose report dated  February 29, 1992,  expressed an unqualified
opinion on those financial statements.

We  conducted  our  audits  in  accordance  with  generally   accepted  auditing
standards.  Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free 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  significant  estimates  made by
management,  as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.
We believe that our audits provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion,  the financial  statements  referred to above present fairly, in
all material respects,  the financial position of Curbstone Acquisition Corp. as
of December 31, 1996 and 1995,  and the results of its  operations  and its cash
flows for the years then ended, in conformity with generally accepted accounting
principles.

statement  carrying  amounts  of  existing  assets  and  liabilities  and  their
respective  tax  bases  and to the  effects  of  operating  loss and tax  credit
carry-forwards.  Deferred tax assets and  liabilities are measured using enacted
