PART I
ITEM 1. Business.
The Company was incorporated under the laws of Nevada on January 14,
1988. The Company was formed to look for investments, business opportunities and
assets in any industry. Initially the Company determined to acquire assets and
properties in real estate development, specifically the area of Idaho Falls,
Idaho.
In furtherance of its determination to acquire real properties for
development, on September 30, 1993, the Company entered into an agreement with
the principals of Panorama Industries, Inc. ("Panorama") to issue 5,250,700
shares of its common stock to acquire 99.45% of the outstanding stock of
Panorama, an affiliated Nevada corporation, which owned real properties near
Idaho Falls, Idaho and other areas in Idaho. In December, 1996, the Company
determinded that it was unable to complete the acquisition of 460,000 shares of
Panorama stock due to the failure of certain Panorama shareholders to complete
the terms of the acquisition. This reduced the shares of the Company issued to
acquire Panorama to 4,790,700 shares and the Company's ownership of Panorama to
90.73%.
At the time of the above mentioned acquisition, Panorama was a real
estate development company with its principal asset being approximately 300
acres of land located on the outskirts of Idaho Falls, Idaho, platted for 2.5
acre lot sites, which was the minimum allowed by the Bonneville County Planning
and Zoning Commission for subdivisions using septic tanks. Approximately 55 lots
had been sold by the previous owner, AMR Corporation, which filed a Chapter 11
bankruptcy and ceased development of the property for several years. AMR sold
the property to Panorama in 1991 as part of its resolving its bankruptcy
proceedings.
Upon its acquisition of the majority of the Panorama shares, the
Company determined that a significantly different approach to developing the
subdivision, i.e., installation of sewer lines and replatting of smaller lot
sizes, would achieve greater success. Although the Company began the design and
engineering for the changes, in 1996, it determined not to develop the land but
instead to list it for sale. One factor that lead to the change in plans was
the slowdown in economic development and related decrease in consumer demand for
new housing in the Idaho Falls area. The Company also rescinded its agreements
with ITEX Corporation and Haydon, Ives & Neal, Inc. for trade credits for
television advertising and travel which it intended to exchange for goods and
services in developing the land. See Note 7 to the consolidated financial
statements for further information concerning this. See also notes to financial
statements respecting sales of other real estate and securities. In December,
1997, the Panorama subdivision was sold for $330,000.00.
At present the Company is still looking for business opportunities in
any industry. Until it finds one that management believes to be appropriate for
the Company, it plans to make various investments as may seem appropriate. For
example, during 1997, the Company loaned $1,000,000 at 8% to Fortune
Thoroughbred Farms, Inc. for the purchase of 960 acres of Southern Idaho
farmland (see Note 5 to the consolidated financial statements).

<PAGE>
ITEM 2. Properties.
See "Item 1" above, and also, the Company utilizes space on a rent-free
basis in the office of one of its principal shareholders, Capital General
Corporation. This arrangement is expected to continue until such time as the
Company becomes involved in a business venture which necessitates its relocation
or increased use of the available facilities. The Company has no agreements with
respect to the maintenance or future acquisition of office facilities.
ITEM 3. Legal Proceedings.
There are no pending legal proceedings involving the Company or its
subsidiary.
ITEM 4. Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders.
No matter was submitted to the Company's security holders for a vote
during the fiscal year ending December 31, 1997.
PART II
ITEM 5. Market for Registrant's Common Equity and Related Stockholders Matters.
There currently is not a trading market for the Company's $.001 par
value common stock nor has there been a trading market for the Company's stock
since its inception.
As of March, 1998, there were 425 record holders of the Company's
common stock. The Company has not previously declared or paid any dividends on
its common stock and does not anticipate declaring any dividends in the
foreseeable future.

ITEM 7. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results
of Operation.
The Company is not now, nor has it at any time, been engaged in any
regular business operations. Its activity has consisted of isolated transactions
in parcels of real estate, most of which have now been sold, and acquisition and
sale of securities, which have now also been sold. The Company presently is not
engaging in any significant or regular ongoing costs of operations or debt. It
can be said that the Company is relatively liquid under these circumstances.
However, in the event a business opportunity should become available and the
Company elects to embark on such, there is no assurance the funds of the Company
would be sufficient for such new endeavor. The Company has made no material
commitments for capital expenditures. Until the Company identifies a particular
business opportunity it wishes to pursue, it intends to continue to monitor its
investments and keep its liquid assets invested at reasonable interest rates.
ITEM 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.
The Company has no market risk sensitive instruments or market risk
exposures.

The management of Capital General is essentially the same as that of

considerable influence in the election of the Company's officers and directors.
Capital General is a private venture capital and financial consulting firm,
incorporated in Utah in 1971. Capital General is a closely held corporation with
eight shareholders and is not an investment company under The Investment
Companies Act of 1940. A majority of the stock of Capital General is owned by
Yeaman Enterprises, Inc., a private corporation which is, in turn, owned by
the adult children of the family of David R. Yeaman (formerly an officer and
director of the Company, Capital General and Yeaman Enterprises, Inc.) Sasha
Belliston, Mr. Yeaman's daughter, is the principal shareholder of Yeaman
Enterprises; Krista Nielson is also an officer and director of Yeaman
Enterprises, Inc.
Each of the above directors of the Company is a director of Saber
Capital, Inc., Vicuna, Inc., Why Not?, Inc., Kowtow, Inc., Radar Resources,
Inc., Gopher, Inc., Hyena Capital, Inc., Jackal Industries, Inc., Longhorn,
Inc., Bioethics, Ltd., and Quantitative Methods Corporation which are companies
subject to the requirements of Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act. None of the
directors are directors or officers of any other company with a class of
securities registered pursuant to Section 12 of the Exchange Act or the
requirements of Section 15(d) of such Act or any company registered as an
investment company under the Investment Company Act of 1940.
On February 8, 1996, David R. Yeaman (former officer and director of
the Company) was charged in the United States District Court for the Eastern
District of Pennsylvania with conspiracy, wire fraud and fraud in the offer,
purchase and sale of securities, in violation of 18 U.S.C. Sections 2, 371 and
1343; 15 U.S.C. Sections 77q(a), 77x, 78j(b), and 78ff; and Rule 10b-5
promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission, Title 17, Code of Federal
Regulations, Section 240.10b-5 (1986). On April 16, 1997, Mr. Yeaman was
convicted of one count of conspiracy, five counts of wire fraud, and three
counts of securities fraud. On January 22, 1998, Mr. Yeaman was sentenced to 14
months imprisonment. He was also fined $20,000.00. Mr. Yeaman began his prison
sentence at FPC Nellis, Las Vegas, Nevada on March 3, 1998. Upon release from
prison, Mr. Yeaman will be on supervised release for a term of three years,
under the terms of which he is required as follows: (1) to not commit another
federal, state or local crime, (2) to refrain from engaging in the securities
and insurance industries, and (3) various other standard conditions of
supervised release.
The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, Securities Act of 1933
Release No. 7008 and Securities Exchange Act of 1934 Release No. 32669 announced
that on July 23, 1993, it ordered David R. Yeaman and Capital General
Corporation to permanently cease and desist from committing or causing further
violations of Section 5(a) and (c) and 17(a) of the Securities Act of 1933 and
Sections 10(b) and 13(g) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and Rules 10b-5,
12b-20 and 13d-1(c) thereunder.

Krista Nielson was ordered to permanently cease and desist from
committing or causing further violations of Section 17(a) of the Securities Act
and Section 10(b) of the Exchange Act and Rules 10b-5 and 12b-20 thereunder. In
addition, the Commission ordered the revocation of the registration of the
common stock of Altara International, Inc., Arrow Management, Inc., Atlas
Equity, Inc., Dynamic Associates, Inc., Energy Systems, Inc., Four Star Ranch,
Inc., Panorama Industries, Inc., Partisan Corporation, Quiescent Corporation,
Saber, Inc., Upsilon, Inc., Vicuna, Inc., Why Not?, Inc., Xebec Galleon, Inc.,
Zebu, Inc., and Zeus Enterprises, Inc. pursuant to Section 12(j) of the Exchange
Act. The Commission found that each of the issuers had filed a registration
statement on Form 10 that contained materially false and misleading statements
in violation of Section 10(b) of the Exchange Act and Rule 10b-5 thereunder.
Each of the respondents had submitted an Offer of Settlement consenting
to the entry of the Order without admitting or denying the allegations in the
Order. Prior to the submission of the Offers of Settlement, Capital General, on
behalf of the above mentioned companies, except for Panorama Industries, Inc.,
filed a registration statement on Form S-1 during December of 1992 to register
the common stock of those companies under the Securities Act of 1933.
Concurrently with the signing of the Offers of Settlement, the Registration
Statement was declared effective on June 30, 1993. A Post Effective Amendment
was filed and declared effective September 2, 1993. Although the registration of
the common stock under Section 12(g) of the 1934 Act was revoked on July 23,
1993, the companies are now registered and reporting under the Securities Act of
1933 by virtue of the filing of Form S-1 as indicated by Commission File No.
33-55254.
During 1986 and 1987, Capital General gifted very small percentages of
stock (usually 100 shares to each giftee) in the following companies, to
approximately 1,000 persons or entities: Amenity, Inc., Dogmatic, Inc., Mystic
Industries, Inc., Highland Mfg., Inc., Kowtow, Inc., Noble Industries, Inc.,
Oryan Capital Corporation, Pegasus Star Enterprise, Inc., Showstoppers, Inc.,
Hightide, Inc., Grandeur, Inc., Fantastic Industries, Inc., Jugglar, Inc., Xebec
Galleon, Inc., Golden Home Health Care Equipment Centers, Inc., Nighthawk
Capital, Inc., Instrument Development Corporation, Panther Industries, Inc., Owl
Enterprises, Inc., Quail, Inc., GBS Technologies Corporation, H & B Carriers,
Inc., Florida Growth Industries, Inc., Macaw, Inc., Longhorn Enterprise, Inc.,
Koala Corporation, Yahwe Corporation, Star Dolphin, Inc., Jackal, Inc., Hyena
Capital, Inc., Gopher, Inc., Flamingo Capital, Inc., Egret, Inc., Cetacean
Industries, Inc., Bonito, Inc., Alpaca, Inc., Zeus Enterprise, Inc., Tamarind,
Inc., Saber, Inc., Radar, Inc., Quiescent Corporation, Vanadium, Inc., Upsilon,
Inc., Why Not?, Inc., Bestmark, Inc., and Missouri Illinois Mining Co., Inc.
Capital General did not register the gifts of shares in these companies
with the Securities Division of the State of Utah or with the Securities
Exchange Commission because it believed these gifts to be outside the scope of
the Utah Uniform Securities Act and the Securities Act of 1933 in as much as
such acts require registration for sales and do not require registration of
gifts. Nevertheless, in connection with the distribution of shares of its
subsidiaries, Capital General was found by the Utah Securities Advisory Board,
in two decisions affirmed by the Utah State Courts, to have violated the
registration provisions of the Utah Uniform Securities Act. See In re Amenity
Inc., No. SD-86-11 (Utah Sec. Adv. Bd. February 18, 1987) aff'd C87-2625 (3d
Dist. Ct. September 18, 1987) aff'd sub nom Capital General Corp. v. Utah Dep't
of Business Reg., 777 P.2d 494, 498 (Utah Ct. App.) cert. denied, 781 P.2d 873
(Utah S. Ct. 1989); In re H&B Carriers Inc., No. 87-09-28-01 (Utah Sec. Adv.
Bd., Apr. 15, 1988) aff'd No. 88-5900053 (3d Dist. Ct. Sept 10, 1990) aff'd sub
nom Capital General Corp. v. Utah Dep't of Business Reg., Case No 91-196 (Utah
Ct. App. February 10, 1992.) All of the remaining companies listed above were
parties to the H&B Carriers order.
6
<PAGE>
Both of these actions sought suspension of transactional exemptions
respecting the shares of these companies pursuant to Section 14 (3) of the Utah
Uniform Securities Act. Capital General defended both actions on the grounds
that the Utah Uniform Securities Act did not apply to gifts of securities, that
the gifts were good faith gifts specifically exempted by the Act, and that in
any event even if it had "sold" shares in violation of the Act, suspension
of transactional exemptions was not an authorized remedy under the statute.
These defenses were rejected at the administrative agency level, and upon
judicial review at the District Court level and by the Utah Court of Appeals.
ITEM 11. Executive Compensation.
The Company has made no arrangements for the remuneration of its
officers and directors, except that they will be entitled to receive
reimbursement for actual, demonstrable out-of-pocket expenses, including travel
expenses if any, made on the Company's behalf in the investigation of business
opportunities. No remuneration has been paid to the Company's officers or
directors prior to the filing of this form. There are no agreements or
understandings with respect to the amount or remuneration that officers and
directors are expected to receive in the future. Management takes no salaries
from the Company and does not anticipate receiving any salaries in the
foreseeable future.
ITEM 12. Security Ownership of Certain Beneficial Owners and Management.
The following table sets forth, as of December 31, 1997, information

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Arrow

1997 and 1996, and the related statements of operations, changes in
stockholders' equity, and cash flows for the years ended December 31, 1997,
1996, and 1995 and for the period of January 14, 1988 (date of inception) to
December 31, 1997. 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.
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 provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present
fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Arrow Management,
Inc. (a development stage company) and Subsidiary as of December 31, 1997 and
1996 and the results of their operations, changes in stockholders' equity, and
their cash flows for the years ended December 31, 1997, 1996, and 1995 and for

ARROW MANAGEMENT, INC. AND SUBSIDIARY
(A Development Stage Company)
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE 1: SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES
The Company's accounting policies reflect current accounting practices and
conform to generally accepted accounting principles. The following policies are
considered to be significant.
Accounting Method:
- ------------------
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared on the accrual method
using generally accepted accounting principles applicable to a going concern,
which contemplates the realization of assets and the liquidation of liabilities
in the normal course of business. All assets are listed at historical cost as
adjusted for asset impairment.
Revenue Recognition:
- --------------------
Revenue is recognized upon completion of sales, including adequate payment
arrangements to reasonably assure collection of related receivables, if any.
Dividend Policy:
- ----------------
The Company has not yet adopted any policy regarding payment of dividends.
Income Taxes:
- -------------
The Company utilizes the liability method of accounting for income taxes as set
forth in Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 109, "Accounting for
Income Taxes" (SFAS 109). Under the liability method, deferred taxes are
determined based on the difference between the financial statement and tax bases
of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates in effect in the years in
which the differences are expected to reverse. An allowance against deferred
assets is recorded when it is more likely than not that such tax benefits will
not be realized.
Basis of Presentation:
- ----------------------
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and
Panorama Industries, Inc.("Panorama"), a subsidiary owned 90.73% by the Company.
All significant intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated.
Earnings (Loss) per Share:
- --------------------------
Earnings (loss) per share are computed by dividing net income (loss) by the
weighted average common shares outstanding during each period.
Fair value of Financial Instruments:
- ------------------------------------
The carrying amount of cash and accrued expenses approximate fair value due to
the short maturity periods of these instruments. The fair value of $1,377,721
in notes receivable at December 31, 1997, based on the present value of the
receivable at interest rates of 8% and 9%, is $1,056,017.

ARROW MANAGEMENT, INC. AND SUBSIDIARY

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
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, liabilities, revenues, and expenses
during the reporting period. Estimates also affect the disclosure of contingent
assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements. Actual results
could differ from these estimates.
Cash and Cash Equivalents:
- --------------------------
For financial statement purposes, the Company considers all highly liquid
investments with an original maturity of three months or less when purchased to
be cash equivalents.
Concentration of Credit Risk:
- -----------------------------
The Company maintains deposits in excess of federally insured limits. Statement
of Financial Accounting Standards No. 105 identifies these items as a
concentration of credit risk requiring disclosure, regardless of the degree of
risk. The risk is managed by maintaining all deposits in high quality financial
institutions.
The Company requires collateral to support notes and contracts receivable.
Management considers the real property pledged as security for its notes and
contracts to be reasonable in the circumstances.
NOTE 2: DEVELOPMENT STAGE COMPANY AND BUSINESS ACTIVITY
The Company was incorporated under the laws of the State of Nevada on January
14, 1988 and has been in the development stage since incorporation. The Company
acquired a substantial amount of land through its acquisition of Panorama
(See Notes 4 and 6). The Company holds real estate for investment and possible
future development and sales. The Company also may acquire interests in various
other business opportunities which, in the opinion of management, will provide a
profit to the Company. Additional external financing or other capital may be
required to proceed with any business plan which may be developed by the
Company.
NOTE 3: CAPITALIZATION
On the date of incorporation, the Company sold 1,000,000 shares of its common
stock to Capital General Corporation for $2,000 cash for an average
consideration of $.002 per share. The Company's authorized common stock consists
of 50,000,000 shares at $.001 par value.
NOTE 4: ACQUISITION OF SUBSIDIARY
On September 30, 1993, the Company issued 5,250,700 shares of its common stock
to acquire 99.45% of the outstanding stock of Panorama, an affiliated company.
Panorama became a subsidiary of the Company. The transaction has been accounted
for under the pooling-of-interests method of accounting. Therefore, the
financial statements have been restated as if the Companies had been
consolidated for all periods presented. In December, 1996, the Company canceled
460,000 shares of its common stock held for issuance to a shareholder of
Panorama. As a result of this transaction, Arrow's ownership of Panorama was
reduced from 99.45% to 90.73%.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
NOTE 5: RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
The Company neither owns or leases any real property, other than the land held
for development. Office services are provided, without charge, by Capital
General Corporation. Such costs are immaterial to the financial statements, and,
accordingly, have not been reflected therein. The officers and directors of the
Company are involved in other business activities and may, in the future, become
involved in other business opportunities. If a specific business opportunity
becomes available, such persons may face a conflict in selecting between the
Company and their other business interests. The Company has not formulated a
policy for the resolution of such conflicts.
In December 1997, the Company loaned $1,000,000 to Fortune Thoroughbred Farms,
Inc. The President of Fortune is the brother-in-law of the Company's majority
shareholder. The note bears interest at 8%. Annual payments of $103,000 begin
December 31, 1998, with a balloon payment due in December 31, 2007. The note is
secured by a mortgage on 960 acres of land near Twin Falls, Idaho.
NOTE 6: REAL ESTATE AND LAND
On December 20, 1991, Panorama acquired various parcels of real estate for
460,000 shares of its common stock, $120,000 cash, and assumption of
approximately $30,000 in unpaid property taxes. The real properties located in
the State of Idaho consist of 100 acres of Tall Timber Estates, Bingham
County; 300 acres of Panorama Hills, Bonneville County; two building lots in
Arco; Mt. Juniper building lot in Lava Hot Springs; Salem River lot, Lemhi
County; and six Hall City Townsite lots in Bannock County. The property acquired
in the State of Utah consists of six town home lots in St. George, Washington
County. The properties purchased were believed by Company management to have a
retail market value of approximately $2,600,000. During 1993, one of the
properties in Bannock County was sold. During 1994, the St. George property was
sold (see Note 8).
Panorama retained a development planning firm in November, 1993, to conduct a
new feasibility study and to make development recommendations for the Panorama
Hills project. The study was completed with the recommendation by the consultant
that the project be renamed "Bridal Trails" and be replatted to consist of
approximately 578 1/3 to 1/2 acre lots. This proposed change would increase the
number of lots by over 300%. An engineering firm was retained to plan for
water, sewer, roads and other improvements. The actual construction was expected
to commence within the next six to nine months.
A January, 1995, MAI appraisal determined the value of the Panorama Hills land
on an "as is" basis to be $317,000. At December 31, 1994, the Company had no
intention or need to sell the land. The land was acquired for development over
a period of time. After development, improvements, and implementation of
marketing plans, the Company expected to realize income substantially in excess
of its costs in the land. A market feasibility report (see preceding
paragraph) projected potential profit of over $1,900,000 on phases I and II (276
lots - out of a total of 578 lots). At December 31, 1994, management felt that
any decline in value was temporary.
During 1994, a Lis Pendens (pending lawsuit) was recorded against the Panorama
Hills land relating to title to the land. The cost of defending this legal
action and any loss sustained is covered by a title insurance company. This
action caused a delay in the timetable for development of the land. The Lis
Pendens was settled in December, 1995, and the Company now has clear title to
the land.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
NOTE 6: LAND (continued)
During December, 1995, the Company changed its development plans with respect to
the Panorama Hills project and is not presently pursuing plans to develop the
land, however, the land is available for sale. One factor that lead to the
change in plans is the slowdown in economic development and related decrease in
consumer demand for new housing in the Idaho Falls area. Another factor is
Panorama's rescission of the media due bills, trade dollars, and other credits
(as discussed in Note 7) for the return of shares of its common stock. Panorama
had planned on using such credits as a portion of the financing required for
development of the land. The Company sold the land for $330,000 in December of
1997.
During 1996, Panorama purchased a time share in a vacation resort called the San
Clemente Inn in Orange County, California. The time share was acquired by
trading $5,000 worth of ITEX Trade Dollars which were obtained for consulting
services.
Impairment of Land Value
- ------------------------
In 1995, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") adopted SFAS No. 121
entitled "Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived
Assets to Be Disposed Of". Adoption of this SFAS is required for financial
statements for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 1995, however, earlier
application is encouraged. The Company has elected to adopt SFAS No. 121
effective for 1995. SFAS No. 121 provides that restatement of previously issued
financial statements is not permitted. In conformity with SFAS No. 121 and
based on an A.R.A. appraisal in December, 1995, which valued the land at
$330,000, Panorama is showing the value of the Panorama Hills land at $330,000
at December 31, 1995. The loss from write-down of the land value from $2,285,000
to $330,000 is accounted for in the 1995 statement of operations as an operating
loss of $1,955,000. The new cost basis of such land for financial reporting
purposes is now $330,000.
NOTE 7: MEDIA DUE BILLS, TRADE DOLLARS AND TRAVEL CERTIFICATES
In July, 1992, Panorama entered into an agreement with ITEX Corporation ("ITEX")
to exchange 110,000 shares of its common stock for $550,000 in trade credits
($400,000 in radio and television advertising and production credits referred to
as media due bills and $150,000 in ITEX Trade Dollars).
Also in July, 1992, Panorama entered into an agreement with Haydon, Ives & Neal,
Inc. ("Haydon") to exchange 210,000 shares of its common stock for $1,050,000 in
trade credits ($800,000 in radio and television advertising and production
credits referred to as media due bills and $250,000 in Travel Paradise
certificates). Panorama intended to exchange the advertising and production
credits, trade dollars and travel certificates for goods and services for the
land development projects and other business activities. During 1993, the travel
certificates were exchanged for $250,000 of additional ITEX Trade Dollars.
In December, 1995, Panorama entered into a rescission agreement with Haydon
whereby Panorama received back the 320,000 shares of its common stock in
exchange for the remaining balance of $1,446,752 of advertising credits and ITEX
Trade Dollars (the amount on hand at December 31, 1994). The transaction has
been accounted for by reducing common stock at par value by $320 and additional
paid-in capital by $1,446,432. No gain or loss on the transaction was recorded
in accordance with the terms of the agreement. In December, 1996, 110,000
shares relating to the ITEX Trade Dollars were reissued due to an erroneous
cancellation. Common stock was therefore increased by $110 and additional
paid-in capital decreased by $110.

NOTE 8: CONTRACTS RECEIVABLE
During 1993, real estate was sold on contract. The contract requires monthly
payments of $451 at an interest rate of 9%. At December 31, 1997, the current
portion of the receivable was $2,942 and the long-term portion was $25,779 for a
total of $28,721.
In November 1997, a real estate parcel was sold on contract. The contract
requires quarterly payments of $2,500 at an interest rate of 9%. At December 31,
1997, the current portion of the receivable was $6,247, and the long-term
portion was $37,753 for a total of $44,000.
In December 1997, another real estate parcel was sold on contract. The contract
requires annual payments of $55,000 in 1999 and $50,000 each year thereafter at
an interest rate of 8%. At December 31, 1997, the entire balance of $305,000
was a long-term asset.
NOTE 9: INVESTMENT SECURITY
The investment consisted of 66,668 shares of Profit Financial Corporation. The
quoted market value at December 31, 1996, was $2.25 per share. Pursuant to SFAS
No. 115, the investment was considered to be an equity security and was
categorized as available-for-sale, and the increase in the market value of
$50,003 at December 31, 1996, was shown in the equity section of the balance
sheet. The shares were sold in 1997 for $1,543,680.
NOTE 10: NET OPERATING LOSS CARRYOVER
The Company and Panorama had a net operating loss carryover of $516,035 at
December 31, 1997, that if not used will expire as follows:

Due to the Company's activities as a development stage company, there is not a
sufficient basis for making an estimate of future income. At December 31, 1997,
the Company has not recorded a deferred tax asset. There may be a deferred tax
asset, but the amount, if any, cannot be determined at this time, therefore, the
amount has been reserved 100%.
The tax basis of the Panorama land (see Note 6 regarding impairment of land
value) was $2,285,000 and $330,000 for financial reporting purposes. At the
time of disposal of the land, the gain or loss for income tax purposes is based
on the original recorded cost of the property ($2,285,000). For financial
reporting purposes, gain or loss on disposal of the land is based on the "new"
cost basis ($330,000).
