PART I
ITEM 1. DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS.
FORMATION AND INITIAL PUBLIC OFFERING
Classic Restaurants International, Inc. (the "Company") was incorporated
under the laws of the State of Georgia on April 10, 1998 as a wholly-owned
subsidiary of Classic Restaurants International, Inc. ("Classic"). Classic
was incorporated under the laws of the State of Colorado on August 3, 1989
under the name Regional Equities Corporation. At a special meeting of the
shareholders of Classic held on April 13, 1998, the shareholders voted to a
approve a merger of Classic with and into the Company for the purpose of
changing Classic's state of incorporation. The merger became effective on
April 14, 1998. As of the effective date of the merger, Classic ceased to
exist as a separate legal entity, and the Company assumed, and became the
owner of, all of the liabilities and assets of Classic by operation of law.
Under the Agreement and Plan of Merger, common and preferred shareholders of
Classic received, for each share of common or preferred stock which they
owned in Classic, one share of common or preferred stock in the Company which
has the same rights, preferences and limitations as the shares which they
owned in Classic immediately before the effective date of the merger. All
further references to the Company herein shall be deemed to be and include
Classic.
In May 1990, the Company completed an initial public offering of units
consisting of its Class A Common Stock and three separate classes of
warrants. All of the warrants issued in connection with the offering expired
without any being exercised.
Effective upon the close of trading on July 12, 1994, the Company effected a
1-for-10,000 reverse stock split of its Class A Common Stock. Effective on
the close of trading on November 7, 1994, the Company effected a 10-for-1
forward stock split of its Class A and Class B Common Stock. In September
1995, the Company declared a 50% share dividend payable to the holders of
record of its Class A and Class B Common Stock on October 13, 1995. All per
share amounts herein have been adjusted to reflect the effects of the stock
splits and the share dividend.
GREAT AMERICAN RESORTS, INC.
In April 1993, the Company entered into an agreement to merge with and into
Great American Resorts, Inc. ("GAR"). In May 1994, the boards of directors of
GAR and the Company both voted to terminate the merger agreement.
In connection with the proposed merger with GAR, GAR paid a total of $12,763
(the "Option Price") to obtain irrevocable options to purchase a total of
67,260 shares of the Company's Class A Common Stock held by seven
shareholders for a total price of $127,632 (the "Purchase Price"). Under the
terms of the options, the Option Price was to be credited against the
Purchase Price when the options were exercised. In early 1994, GAR exercised
all of the options to acquire 67,260 shares of Class A Common Stock in the
Company. In addition, GAR purchased additional shares of Class A Common Stock
of the Company on the open market which resulted in GAR's owning
approximately 78% of the Company's Class A Common Stock. GAR later sold some
of its shares which it acquired on the open market. In addition, GAR acquired
7,500,000 shares of Class A Common Stock and 150,000 shares of Class B Common
Stock of the Company in connection with the merger of a wholly-owned
subsidiary of GAR with and into the Company in October 1994. See "Merger with
Casinos International, Inc." below. Immediately prior to the share exchange
with Classic Restaurants International, Inc. in January 1996, GAR owned
7,567,260 shares of Class A Common Stock (93.2% of the total outstanding) and
150,000 shares of Class B Common Stock (50% of the total outstanding).
IRISH LAND TRANSACTION
On August 21, 1994, the Company entered into a contract to purchase two
tracts of land in Ireland from Caragh Holdings, Ltd. ("Caragh"), which the
Company intended to develop into a resort. The contract provided that one
tract of land would be purchased on or before December 31, 1994 for 27,500
Irish Pounds and 270,000 shares of Class A Common Stock, and the other tract
of land would be purchased on or before December 31, 1996 for 150,000 Irish
Pounds and 1,230,000 shares of Class A Common Stock. As an earnest money
deposit, the Company issued all of the stock to the seller, but the seller
was prohibited from selling the stock until the Company completed its
purchase of the tract of land to which the stock related. In the event a
tract of land was not purchased, the seller was obligated to return the stock
to the Company, less 15,000 shares as liquidated damages in the event closing
did not occur due to a default by the Company.
In October 1994, the Company purchased the first tract of land under the
contract for $334,800, consisting of $41,723 in cash and $293,077 in Class A
Common Stock which was valued at the appraised value of the land. Thereafter,
the Company assigned its rights in the first tract to GAR for $384,877, which
consisted of the purchase price originally paid by the Company plus a fee of
$50,077 to the Company as reimbursement for the time and expense incurred to
purchase the land. In July 1995, the Company and Caragh entered into an
agreement to terminate the contract to purchase the second tract of land.
Under the agreement, as amended in September 1995, Caragh agreed to return
1,230,000 shares, of which 1,050,000 were returnable immediately while the
remaining 180,000 shares were held by Caragh pursuant to an option to acquire
said shares for $2.67 per share at any time until September 30, 1997. Caragh
did not exercise any part of the option.
MERGER WITH CASINOS INTERNATIONAL, INC.
On September 13, 1994, the Company entered into an Agreement and Plan of
Merger ("Merger Agreement") with Casinos International, Inc., a Georgia
corporation (" Casinos"), under which Georgia Casinos agreed to merge with
and into the Company. The Merger Agreement was approved by the shareholders
of the Company at a shareholders meeting held on September 30, 1994, and was
consummated in October 1994. Under the Merger Agreement, all nondissenting
holders of Class A Common Stock of Casinos were issued 1.5 shares of the
Company's Class A Common Stock for each share of Class A Common Stock of
Casinos. At the time of the merger, GAR held all 5,000,000 shares of Class A
Common Stock of Casinos which were outstanding, and therefore GAR acquired
7,500,000 shares of the Company's Class A Common Stock in the merger. All
nondissenting holders of Class B Common Stock of Casinos were issued 1.5
shares of the Company's Class B Common Stock for each share of Class B Common
Stock of Casinos. At the time of the merger, there were 200,000 shares of
Class B Common Stock of Casinos outstanding, 100,000 of which were held by
Edward L Bates and 100,000 of which were held by GAR. As a consequence of the
merger, GAR and Mr. Bates each acquired 150,000 shares of the Company's Class
B Common Stock. Mr. Bates was an officer and director of GAR at the time of
the merger.
As part of the merger, the Company's shareholders also approved certain
amendments to the Company's Articles of Incorporation. The amendments divided
the Company's single class of common stock into two classes: Class A Common
Stock, of which 1,800,000,000 shares are authorized for issuance, and Class B
Common Stock, of which 200,000,000 shares are authorized for issuance. The
Class A Common Stock and the Class B Common Stock have an equal right to
receive the net assets of the Company upon dissolution and liquidation, but
the Class A Common Stock has only one (1) vote per share, while the Class B
Common Stock has forty (40) votes per share, on each matter voted upon by the
shareholders, except to the extent state or federal law provides otherwise.
In addition, to the extent there are any shares of Class B Common Stock
outstanding, the holders thereof have the right to elect a majority of the
board of directors of the Company. All of the Company's outstanding common
stock before the amendment was considered Class A Common Stock after the
amendment. The name of the Company was changed to Casinos International, Inc.
CHEERS HOTEL AND CASINO
On January 20, 1995, the Company, through a wholly-owned subsidiary (Great
American Casinos, Inc., a Nevada corporation) purchased the Cheers Hotel and
Casino (the "Cheers Hotel") in Reno, Nevada, from Baylocq Nevada Corp., a
nonaffiliated entity. The Cheers Hotel is a ten-story, 113-room hotel, with a
casino, cabaret, restaurant, and bar facilities, which is located in the
downtown section of Reno, Nevada. The purchase price of the Cheers Hotel was
$3,750,000 plus closing costs and prorations.
A portion of the purchase price was paid by the assumption of an existing
first mortgage loan held by American Federal Savings Bank against the Cheers
Hotel in the amount of $1,944,804.12. The remainder of the purchase price was
paid $750,00 in cash and by executing a note payable to the seller in the
amount of $1,055,195.88, secured by a second mortgage on the Cheers Hotel.
Contemporaneous with the purchase of the Cheers Hotel, the Company entered
into a lease agreement with the seller under which the seller originally
leased approximately 7,600 square feet of space in the Cheers Hotel for two
years for use as a casino and cabaret. Effective July 1, 1995, the Company
reached an agreement with the seller to eliminate the cabaret operations from
the sublease and to reduce the monthly rent.
SHARE EXCHANGE WITH CLASSIC RESTAURANTS AND SPINOFF
Effective upon the close of business January 31, 1996, the Company acquired
(the "Share Exchange") all of the issued and outstanding capital stock of
Classic Restaurants International, Inc., a Florida corporation ("Classic-
Florida"), in exchange for 2,173,665 restricted shares of the Company's Class
A Common Stock and 200,000 restricted shares of the Company's Class B Common
Stock. Classic-Florida now operates as a wholly-owned subsidiary of the
Company.
Simultaneous with the effectiveness of the Share Exchange, the Company
transferred all of the issued and outstanding shares of common stock of Great
American Casinos, Inc. to GAR. Great American Casinos, Inc. was a wholly-
owned subsidiary of the Company. The sole asset of Great American Casinos,
Inc. is the Cheers Hotel. The Company's common stock interest in Great
American Casinos, Inc. constituted substantially all of its assets. The
consideration for the transfer of the common stock of Great American Casinos,
Inc. to GAR was (1) the return for cancellation by GAR and by former officers
of the Company of all of their stock in the Company, which consisted of
7,578,075 shares of Class A Common Stock and 300,000 shares of Class B Common
Stock; (2) the cancellation of any indebtedness owed by the Company to GAR,
which was approximately $1,567,389 as of December 31, 1995; and (3) the
mutual release of any claims between GAR and the Company.
After the transfer of stock and assets described above and the Share Exchange
(giving effect to the exercise of dissenters' rights), Classic-Florida's
former shareholders and the Company's existing shareholders owned 2,173,665
shares (80.1%) and 538,967 shares (19.9%) of the Company's outstanding Class
A Common Stock, respectively, and Classic-Florida's former principle
shareholder owned 200,000 shares (100%) of the Company's outstanding Class B
Common Stock.
The Company filed an amendment to its Articles of Incorporation which changed
its name to Classic Restaurants International, Inc. effective January 31,
1996.
All of the Company's former officers and directors resigned. Officers and
directors of Classic-Florida were appointed to fill the vacancies created by
the resignations.
There was no relationship between the Company and Classic-Florida prior to
the Share Exchange.
CLASSIC-FLORIDA
Classic-Florida was organized under the laws of the State of Florida on April
7, 1992, for the purpose of developing and operating restaurants using a
dinner theater concept. On December 1, 1992, Classic-Florida opened Musicana
Supper Club in Boca Raton, Florida. Classic-Florida opened Musicana Dinner
Theater in Clearwater, Florida on May 14, 1994.
Classic-Florida also provides entertainment production services for a dinner
theater in Naples, Florida. Management hopes to increase this line of
business and provide entertainment production services for other restaurants
and cruise lines.
MUSICANA SUPPER CLUB OF BOCA RATON
This restaurant, which opened on December 1, 1992, seats 270 persons and
offers dinner and live entertainment for a price ranging from $21.95 to
$31.95, depending upon the menu item ordered. The Company uses the concept of
employing talented young professionals to perform musical reviews
highlighting the works of famous composers and various eras of musical
history. These performers also serve as waiters and waitresses. By using
young performers and sticking to the musical review format, management
believes that it can keep its overhead costs lower, as compared to using
equity performers and using book reviews. Because the entertainers play a
dual role as performers/waiters, the majority of their compensation comes
from a portion of the service charge. The restaurant aspect of the business
involves a menu offering a wide variety of dinner selections starting from
$21.95. There is no cover charge for the show if customers dine at the
restaurant. If customers come for the show only, there is a $15.00 plus tax
and gratuity cover charge. All other revenues come from food and drink
purchases.
Musicana offers 8 performances per week. The show consists of two 40-minute
acts, with dessert and coffee served during intermission. A live band, which
includes piano, bass and drums, plays instrumental back-up for the shows and
also plays before the show and during the intermission for listening and
dancing. The performers also sing their favorite cabaret solos during the
dinner hour and during intermission so there is entertainment happening
throughout the entire evening. Each show is considered to be a "musical
review" which saves the Company considerable money in royalty fees. Each show
highlights the work of a famous composer, a Broadway show or a different era
from the 1920's through the 1970's. Some of the shows in the Musicana
Library include: "The Best Times: A Salute to the Music of Jerry Herman,"
"Tin Pan Alley," "Hooray for Hollywood," "The Fabulous Forties When Radio was
King," "An Enchanted Evening with Rodgers and Hammerstein," "Celebrate
Broadway," "Putting on the Ritz: The Music of Irving Berlin," and "Bourbon
Street Parade."
Most of the customers for Musicana are over 50 years of age. Management
believes that it has carved a special niche in the market for this age group,
as evidenced by the popularity of the restaurant since its opening.
MUSICANA DINNER THEATER OF CLEARWATER
This restaurant, which opened May 14, 1994, seats 370. Management believes
that the location is easily accessible from the Tampa and St. Petersburg
area. The operation in Clearwater is substantially the same as in Boca Raton.
AA CORP.
On February 27, 1998, the Company entered into an Agreement and Plan of Share
Exchange with AA Corp. and its shareholders under which the Company agreed to
acquire all of the issued and oustanding stock of AA Corp. for 500,000 shares
of convertible preferred stock. Each share of convertible preferred stock is
convertible into 200 shares of the Company's Class A Common Stock. In
addition, the shareholder of AA Corp. also agreed to acquire all of the
Company's issued and outstanding Class B Common Stock from James Robert Shaw
for 120,000 shares of the convertible preferred stock. AA Corp. has developed
a method for recycling used tires under which the tires would be broken down
into carbon black and other recylceable components using microwaves.
Effective upon execution of the Agreement, all outstanding shares of AA Corp.
and all of the shares of convertible preferred stock to be issued under the
Agreement were placed in escrow until certain conditions specified in the
Agreement were satisfied or waived. Upon satisfaction or waiver of the
conditions, the shares held in escrow will be released and the transactions
contemplated by the Agreement consummated. The conditions which must be
satisfied or waived before the Agreement is finally consummated include the
condition that the Company change its name to Classic Holdings, Inc., that
the Company implement a 1 for 20 reverse split of its common stock, that the
Company settle its liabilities and preferred stock obligations, that the
Company have no more than 1,000,000 shares of Class A Common Stock
outstanding after implementing the reverse split and settling its liabilities
and preferred stock obligations, that the shareholders of AA Corp. raise
sufficient funds to develop a prototype recycling facility which is capable
of recylcing tires in economically viable quantities. In the event closing
does not occur, all consideration held in escrow will be returned to its
original owner, Messrs. Pringle and Silber will resign from the Board of the
Directors of the Company and neither party shall have any obligation to the
other. Upon execution of the Agreement, the Company's Board of Directors was
reconstituted to include Frank Pringle and Benjamin Silber. In addition, Mr.
Pringle was designated chairman of the Board of Directors and co-President of
the Company with Mr. Shaw. In the event closing occurs, Mr. Pringle will
receive a signing bonus of 3,800,000 shares of Class B Common Stock and
$19,000. Mr. Pringle's signing bonus and compensation are not expected to
have a material impact on operations of the Company.
FUTURE DEVELOPMENT
While the Company has no current plans to open additional dinner theatres
similar to the Musicana dinner theatres which it currently owns, the Company
intends to pursue other opportunities in the restaurant industry. In
particular, the Company is currently reviewing several acquisition
opportunities in the restaurant industry. In addition, the Company is
exploring the development of a proprietary Mexican themed casual dining
concept. Finally, the Company has recently diversified into tire recycling by
entering into an agreement to purchase AA Corp., which has developed an
innovative process for recycling used tires.
COMPETITION
The restaurant business is highly competitive and is often affected by
changes in the taste and eating habits of the public, local and national
economic conditions affecting spending habits, and population and traffic
patterns. The principal basis of competition in the industry is quality and
price of the food products offered. Site selection, quality and speed of
service, advertising, and the attractiveness of the facilities are also
important. Management of the Company believes that the Company's dinner
theater restaurant will be competitive in each of these respects.
EMPLOYEES
As of June 30, 1997 there were 62 employees of the Company of which 42 were
full-time, including certain officers of the Company.
ITEM 2. DESCRIPTION OF PROPERTY.
The Company leases approximately 10,000 square feet of space at 2200 N.W. 2nd
Avenue, Boca Raton, Florida pursuant to the terms of a five-year lease which
originally expired in November 1997. The Company has signed a letter of
intent with the landlord to renew the lease for an additional five year term
beginning in November 1997; however, a formal lease agreement has not been
executed and therefore the Company is occupying that space on a month to
month basis. The monthly lease payment is $7,000.
The Company leases approximately 12,000 square feet of space at the Bayside
Bridge Plaza, Unit G, in Clearwater, Florida pursuant to the terms of a five-
year, six-month lease which expires August 31, 1999. Rent for the first six
months was waived. Rent is $6,000 for each of months 7 through 18, $6,500 for
each of months 19 through 30, and $7,000 for each of months 31 through 66.
The Company's executive offices are located at 3500 Parkway Lane, Suite 435,
Norcross, Georgia. The Company is leasing approximately 938 square feet of
office space for monthly rent of $1,521, pursuant to a five-year lease which
expires October 1, 2001.
ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS.
In May 1997, Mark Shoom filed a lawsuit against the Company and James Robert
Shaw to recover the principal, interest and attorney's fees due under a
promissory note dated October 9, 1996 in the original principal amount of
$80,000 payable by the Company and guaranteed personally by Mr. Shaw. In June
1997, the Company entered into a Settlement Agreement with Mr. Shoom under
which the Company agreed to issue Mr. Shoom 114,737 shares of the Company's
Class A Common Stock under Regulation S of the Securities and Exchange
Commission. In addition, in the event Mr. Shoom receives net proceeds from
the sale of said shares of less than $103,300, the Company is obligated to
issue Mr. Shoom additional shares with a value, as determined from the bid
price of said stock, equal to the difference between $103,300 and the net
proceeds received. To date, the Company has not performed under the
Settlement Agreement, in that the Company has not issued Mr. Shoom the
initial 114,737 shares of Class A Common Stock. As a result of the Company's
breach of the Settlement Agreement, Mr. Shoom, through his attorneys, has
recently filed a motion for entry of a default judgment. The Company and Mr.
Shaw have filed a motion to reopen the default, as well as an answer and
counterclaim. The court recently denied Mr. Shoom's motion and granted the
Company's motion to reopen the default. There is a substantial chance that
the Company will be found liable to Mr. Shoom for some amount of money, the
exact amount of which is unknown at this time.
On December 9, 1997, Evelyn Kuntz served a writ of garnishment on the
NationsBank, N.A. in collection of a default judgment which she had obtained
against the Company in the amount of $46,376.31 on August 20, 1997. The writ
of garnishment caused NationsBank to freeze the accounts of the Company and
its wholly owned subsidiary, Classic Restaurants International, Inc., a
Florida corporation. Mr. Kuntz's initial suit was filed to collect the
balance due on a promissory note issued by the Company. On or about December
19, 1997, the Company and Ms. Kuntz entered into a Stipulation for
Dissolution of Writ of Garnishment, Settlement Agreement and Order pursuant
to which the parties agreed that the funds held by NationsBank on behalf of
the Company would be turned over to Ms. Kuntz in partial satisfaction of the
judgment and the funds held by NationsBank on behalf of Classic's subsidiary
were released to the subsidiary. In addition, the Company agreed to make
payments of $5,000 per month to Ms. Kuntz until the balance of the judgment
was satisfied, and to issue Ms. Kuntz 125,000 shares of the Company's Class A
Common Stock as collateral to secure the Company's remaining obligation to
Mr. Kuntz. In return, Ms. Kuntz agreed to forebear from any further
collection efforts as long as the Company was not in default under the terms
of the Stipulation. The Company is in compliance with its monetary
obligations under the Stipulation, and has issued the stock certificates to
Ms. Kuntz as collateral under the Stipulation.
ITEM 4. SUBMISSION OF MATTERS TO A VOTE OF SECURITY HOLDERS.

Stock for total consideration of $2,000 to an accredited investor.
(2) On or about June 10, 1997, the Company sold 187,500 shares of Class A
Common Stock for total consideration of $45,581.25 to an accredited investor.
ITEM 6. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OR PLAN OF OPERATION.
GENERAL
The Share Exchange transaction has been accounted for as a recapitalization
of Classic-Florida and the issuance of 538,967 shares of Class A Common Stock
for the net assets of the Company and the forgiveness of the liability due to
the Company by Classic-Florida. This method is similar to accounting for a
reverse acquisition, and accordingly, the financial statements presented
prior to the date of the Share Exchange are those of Classic-Florida. No
adjustment of assets of either company to "fair value" has been made.
Prior to the Share Exchange, the fiscal year end of Classic-Florida was
December 31. It elected to change its fiscal year end to June 30 (that of the
Company's). Accordingly, statements of operations and cash flows for the
years ended December 31, 1994 and 1995 are presented, together with a
statement for the six months ended June 30, 1996.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
As of June 30, 1997, the Company had a working capital deficiency of
$552,829, as compared to a working capital deficiency of $976,147 at June 30,
1996. All of the capitalization of Classic-Florida has resulted from the sale
of stock and loans from its principal shareholder, Crown Resources, Inc., a
company controlled by the co-President of the Company. At present, the
Company still remains dependent upon proceeds from the sale of stock and
loans to provide sufficient cash to meet its needs. At June 30, 1996,
$320,641 was owed to Crown Resources, Inc. During the year ended June 30,
1997, the Company issued 268,509 shares of Class A Common Stock to Crown
Resourses, Inc. in satisfaction of indebtedness of $426,141. See Item 12.
CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS. In addition, at June 30,
1997, $333,614 was owed to various shareholders of the Company pursuant to
promissory notes that either were in default or were past due.
The Company continues to implement financial and accounting controls which
have been successful in reducing the Company's operating losses. In addition,
the Company is exploring alternatives for restructuring its debt and
preferred stock obligations, which alternatives may include the exchange of
existing debt or preferred stock for secured notes, the conversion of debt or
preferred stock into common stock, and/or the disposition of its Clearwater
operations.
Due to the working capital deficiency as well as the operating losses
described below, the notes to the financial statements express uncertainty
about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. See Note 2. BASIS
OF PRESENTATION of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements. The
Company proposes to obtain additional cash during the current fiscal year
through the sale of its stock to provide sufficient liquidity for the
Company's needs.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
For the year ended June 30, 1997, the Company had sales of $2,328,729, as
compared to sales of $2,419,405 during the period from July 1, 1995 to June
30, 1996, a decrease of 3.7%. Operating expenses as a percentage of sales
were 81%, as compared to 90.1% for the period from July 1, 1995 to June 30,
1996. The improvement in operating expenses is the result of restructuring
personnel and pay schedules, and reductions in production costs. General and
administrative expenses as a percentage of sales were 68% as compared to 35%
for the period from July 1, 1995 to June 30, 1996 as the result of increased
promotional expenses, consulting fees and acquisition activity of a
nonrecurring nature. Management expects general and administrative expenses
to be significantly lower in fiscal 1998 than in fiscal 1997.

ITEM 8. CHANGES IN AND DISAGREEMENTS WITH ACCOUNTANTS ON ACCOUNTING AND
FINANCIAL DISCLOSURE.
On July 1, 1996, the Company and its Board of Directors approved the
engagement of Stark Tinter & Associates, LLC, of Englewood, Colorado, to
audit the Company's financial statements. During the Company's two most
recent fiscal years and the subsequent interim period preceding the
engagement of this firm, the Company did not consult this firm regarding any
of the matters identified in Item 304(a)(2) of Regulation S-K.
Stark Tinter & Associates, LLC was selected by new management of the Company.
As reported in the Form 8-K dated January 31, 1996, the Company experienced a
change of control.
The former accountants were Mitchell Finley and Company, P.C. The report of
Mitchell Finley and Company, P.C. on the financial statements for the fiscal
year ended June 30, 1995 contained an explanatory paragraph regarding the
Company's ability to continue as a going concern. The decision to change
accountants was approved by the Board of Directors on May 21, 1996. During
the Company's two most recent fiscal years and the subsequent interim period
preceding the resignation, there were no disagreements with Mitchell Finley
and Company, P.C. on any matter of accounting principles or practices,
financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure, which
disagreements, if not resolved to the satisfaction of Mitchell Finley and
Company, P.C., would have caused it to make reference to the subject matter
of the disagreements in connection with its report.
Effective January 1, 1996, Mitchell Finley and Company, P.C. combined its
practice with BDO Seidman LLP. In addition, the license of Mitchell Finley
and Company, P.C. to practice accountancy with the Colorado Board expired on
May 31, 1996. Accordingly, the firm can no longer practice under the name
Mitchell, Finley & Company, P.C.

COMPLIANCE WITH SECTION 16(A) OF THE EXCHANGE ACT
The Company's Class A Common Stock was registered under Section 12(g) of the

Company's directors and executive officers, and holders of more than 10% of
the Company's Common Stock, to file with the Securities and Exchange

ownership of Common Stock and other equity securities of the Company. Such
officers, directors and 10% stockholders are required by SEC regulation to
furnish the Company with copies of all Section 16(a) forms they file.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT AUDITORS
Shareholders and Board of Directors
Classic Restaurants International, Inc.
We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of Classic Restaurants
International, Inc. as of June 30, 1997 and 1996, and the related statements of
operations, stockholders' equity (deficiency), and cash flows for the year
ended June 30, 1997 and the six months ended June 30, 1996. 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 audit.
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 financial statements referred to above present fairly, in
all material respects, the financial position of Classic Restaurants
International, Inc. as of June 30, 1997 and 1996, and the results of its
operations, and its cash flows for the year ended June 30, 1997 and the six
months ended June 30, 1996 in conformity with generally accepted accounting
principles.
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the
Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 2 to the
financial statements, the Company has suffered recurring losses from operations
and has a net capital deficiency that raise substantial doubt about the
Company's ability to continue as a going concern. Management's plans in regard
to these matters are also described in Note 2. The financial statements do not
include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
As explained in Note 11 subsequent to November 25, 1997, the Company entered
into an agreement to acquire all the outstanding stock of A.A. Corp. in a
business combination accounted for as a pooling of interests.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT
To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of
Classic Restaurants International, Inc.:
We have audited the accompanying statement of operations, stockholders'
equity (deficit) and cash flows of Classic Restaurants International, Inc.
for the year ended December 31, 1995. These financial statements are the re-
sponsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an
opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audit 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 audit provides a
reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in
all material respects, Classic Restaurants International, Inc.'s results of
operations and cash flows for the year ended December 31, 1995, in conformity
with generally accepted accounting principles.
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the
Company will continue as a going concern. As shown in the accompanying
financial statements, the Company incurred a net loss of $1,247,695 for 1995
and has incurred substantial net losses since inception. At December 31,
1995, current liabilities exceed current assets by $1,415,432 and total
liabilities exceed total assets by $804,564. These factors raise substantial
doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. The
financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the
recoverability and classification of recorded assets, or the amounts and
classification of liabilities that might be necessary in the event the
Company cannot continue in existence.

NOTES OF FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies:
Organization: Classic Restaurants International, Inc. (the Company) was
organized under the laws of the State of Florida on April 7, 1992, for the
purpose of developing and operating restaurants using a dinner theater concept.
On December 1, 1992, the Company opened Musicana Supper Club in Boca Raton,
Florida. The Company opened Musicana Dinner Theater in Clearwater, Florida on
May 14, 1994. The financial statements include the accounts of the Company and
its wholly owned subsidiary. All intercompany transactions have been eliminated
in consolidation.
Certain classifications from prior year financial statements have been changed
to conform to the current period presentation.
Property and equipment: Property and equipment consists primarily of
restaurant equipment and leasehold improvements which are recorded at cost.
Depreciation on restaurant equipment is computed using the straight-line method
over the estimated useful lives of the assets. Leasehold improvements are
depreciated using the straight-line method over the lesser of the term of the
related lease or the estimated useful lives of the assets. Depreciation
expense charged to operations was $140,291 for the year ended December 31,
1995, $70,878 for the six months ended June 30, 1996, and $141,689 for the year
ended June 30, 1997.
Periodically, management evaluates the estimated useful life of its property
and equipment to determine whether intervening economic events and
circumstances have affected the remaining useful lives. In light of the
current conditions noted in Note 12, it is reasonably possible that the
Company's estimate that it will recover the carrying amount of its property and
equipment from future operations will change in the near term.
Intangible assets and amortization: Intangible assets include amounts paid for
the Musicana tradename and music library. Amortization is computed using the
straight-line method over fifteen years. Amortization expense charged to
operations was $2,000 for the year ended December 31, 1995, $1,000 for the six
months ended June 30, 1996, and $3,540 for the year ended June 30, 1997.
Deferred rent: The lease agreement for a restaurant building contains
provisions for no initial monthly rent and for scheduled rent increases (see
Note 8). The deferred rent amount represents the difference between amounts
paid and rental expense computed on a straight-line basis over the entire lease
term.
Revenue recognition: Revenues are recognized in the period when the customer
attends the dinner theater and receives the service. Revenues collected in
advance are recorded as advance banquet deposits and deferred revenue.
Inventory: Inventory is recorded at cost and consists of food and bar items.
Cost is determined on the first-in, first-out (FIFO) method.
Advertising: The Company expenses costs of advertising as incurred. The costs
related to brochures and other printed materials are amortized over their
estimated useful lives. Advertising costs charged to operations were $273,146,
$46,904, and $76,872 during 1995, 1996, and 1997 respectively.
Estimates: Management uses estimates and assumptions in preparing financial
statements. These estimates and assumptions affect the reported amounts of
assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities,
and the reported revenues and expenses. Actual results could differ from those
estimates.
2. Basis of Presentation:
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles, which contemplate continuation of
the Company as a going concern. However, the Company has sustained
substantial operating losses in recent years. In addition, the Company has
used substantial amounts of working capital in its operations. Further, at
June 30, 1996 and 1997, current liabilities exceed current assets by $976,147
and $650,738 and total liabilities exceed total assets by $440,177 and
$241,317.
These factors create an uncertainty about the Company's ability to continue as
a going concern. Management is planning to raise additional equity capital by
undertaking a private offering of its common stock under Regulation D of the
Securities Act of 1933 and raising up to $5,000,000. Management also is
currently working on increasing revenues and reducing expenses.
In view of these matters, realization of a major portion of the assets in the
accompanying balance sheet is dependent upon continued operations of the
Company, which in turn is dependent upon the Company's ability to meet its
financing requirements, and the success of its future operations. Management
believes that actions presently being taken to raise capital and improve
operating results provide the opportunity for the Company to continue as a
going concern.

$ 338,448 $ 333,614
The weighted average interest rate for short-term borrowings was approximately
13% at June 30, 1996 and June 30, 1997.
During 1997, $36,083 of interest was accrued and charged to operations related
to these notes.
5. Concentrations of Credit Risk:
Significant concentrations of credit risk for all financial instruments owned
by the Company as of June 30, 1996 and 1997 are as follows:
The Company's deposits are comprised of amounts held by various lessors of real
property for security, last month's rent and utilities. The Company has no
policy requiring collateral or other security to support its deposits.
The Company has short-term receivables due from three stockholders totaling
$52,088 and $91,444 as of June 30, 1996 and June 30, 1997. These receivables
are non-interest bearing and not collateralized. The Company's policy of
requiring collateral or other security on loans made to officers or
stockholders is determined on a case-by-case basis.
6. Income Taxes:
Deferred income taxes may arise from temporary differences resulting from
income and expense items reported for financial accounting and tax purposes in
different periods. Deferred taxes are classified as current or non-current,
depending on the classifications of the assets and liabilities to which they
relate. Deferred taxes arising from temporary differences that are not related
to an asset or liability are classified as current or non-current depending on
the periods in which the temporary differences are expected to reverse.
At June 30, 1997, the Company has a net operating loss carryforward totaling
approximately $4,200,000 that may be offset against future taxable income
through 2010. No tax benefit has been reported in the accompanying financial
statements, because the Company believes there exists a possibility that the
carryforward will expire unused. Accordingly, the tax benefit of the loss
carryforward has been offset by a valuation allowance of the same amount. The
expected tax benefit that would result from applying federal statutory tax
rates to the pre-tax loss differs from amounts reported in the financial
statements because of the increase in the valuation allowance.
7. Stockholders' Equity (Deficiency):
During the fiscal year ended June 30, 1997, the Company issued 331,500 shares
of its Class A common stock for cash of $234,831.
During the fiscal year ended June 30, 1997, the Company issued 268,509 shares
of its Class A common stock to retire related party debt of $426,141.
During the fiscal year ended June 30, 1997, the Company issued 561,750 shares
of its Class A common stock for services valued at $440,951.
During the fiscal year ended June 30, 1997, the Company issued 150,000 shares
of its Class A common stock in conversion of 6 shares of its Series A
convertible preferred stock.
At June 30, 1997, the Company has outstanding warrants to purchase 195,000
shares of the Company's Class A common stock, at a price equal to the lesser
of $1.70 or 60% of the closing bid price of the Company's Class A common
stock on the date of exercise. The warrants became exercisable in June 1997
and expire in October 1999.
The Company's Series A convertible preferred stock has common stock voting
rights and pays no dividends. The Series A convertible preferred stock is
redeemable at the option of the Company 12 months after issuance at $25,000 per
share. The conversion price is the lesser of the closing bid price of the
Class A common stock on the date of the subscription agreement or 60% of the
average closing bid price for a period of 3 trading days immediately
preceding the date of conversion.
The Company's Series B convertible preferred stock has voting rights and pays a
dividend at a rate of 11.5%. The Series B convertible preferred stock is not
redeemable by the Company. The conversion price is $1.50 per share. At June
30, 1997, dividends in arrears on the Series B convertible preferred stock was
$3,118.
The Company's Series C convertible preferred stock does not have common stock
voting rights and are not entitled to receive dividends. The Series C
convertible preferred stock is redeemable by the Company any time after
issuance at a price of $50,000 per share. The conversion price is equal to the
closing bid price on the conversion date.
8. Leases:
The Company entered into a non-cancelable operating lease on a building in
December 1993. The lease expires in August, 1999, with an option to renew for
an additional five years. The lease provides that no rent is to be paid in the
initial six months. Thereafter, the monthly rental amount will be $6,000,
increasing to $6,500 and $7,000 in the nineteenth and thirty-first month of the
lease, respectively. The Company is also responsible for its share of related
property taxes and common area maintenance costs.
The Company entered into a non-cancelable lease on office space in October
1996. The lease expires in September 2001. The rent is $1,524 per month for
the first 12 months with annual increases of $39.month.
The Company also leases certain office equipment under various operating
leases.
Minimum future rental payments under non-cancelable operating leases having
remaining terms in excess of one year as of June 30, 1997, for the next five
years and thereafter are as follows:
Year ended June 30:
1998 $ 179,556
1999 118,003
2000 25,548
2001 24,316
2002 4,563
---------
Total $ 351,986
The Company also rents two apartments in Clearwater under one year operating
leases effective through June 1998 for total monthly rentals of $1,130, and two
apartments in Boca Raton under one year operating leases effective through
October 1998 for total monthly rentals of $1,460.
Rent expense was $256,922, $126,732 and $265,896 for the year ended June 30,
1995, for the six months ended June 30, 1996, and for the year ended June 30,
1997 respectively.
9. Related Party Transactions:
During 1995, the Company's majority shareholder, Crown Resources, Inc.,
advanced the Company $177,483. During 1996, $31,270 was repaid, and during 1997
the balance was repaid. The balances due this shareholder at June 30, 1996 was
$320,641, was unsecured and had no set interest or repayment terms. The
balance due this shareholder $426,141 was converted into 268,509 shares of
Class A common stock. (see Note 7). In addition, another shareholder, Caroline
Anderson, made a $5,000 working capital advance to the Company during 1996 (see
Note 4). This advance was repaid to the shareholder during 1997.
During 1996, $10,000 of interest was accrued and charged to operations related
to these advances.
10. Recapitalization:
In June 1995, the Board of Directors of the Company entered into an agreement
and plan of share exchange with two unrelated corporations, Casinos
International, Inc. (Casinos) and Great American Resorts, Inc. The parties
agreed that Casinos would acquire all of the issued and outstanding shares of
common stock of the Company and the Company would become a wholly owned
operating subsidiary of Casinos. The effective date of the agreement was
January 31, 1996. At the effective date, the Company became a wholly owned
subsidiary of Casinos, and Casinos changed its name to Classic Restaurants
International, Inc. and the existing members of the Board of Directors of
Casinos resigned and were replaced by existing members of the Board of
Directors of the Company. On the effective date, Casinos issued shares of its
Casinos common stock to all non-dissenting shareholders of the Company in
exchange for all of the issued and outstanding Company stock at an exchange
rate of: one share of Casino Class A common stock for each one share of Company
Class A common stock; one share of Casino Class B common stock for each one
share of Company Class B common stock; and one share of Casino Class A common
stock for each one share of Company Class A preferred stock. Shareholders of
the Company had the right to dissent from the share exchange provided in this
agreement and to obtain payment for their shares.
Pursuant to this agreement the shareholders of the Company received 2,173,665
shares of Class A common stock and 200,000 shares of Class B common stock in
exchange for its issued and outstanding common and preferred shares. In
addition, 538,967 shares of Class A common stock are held by the prior
shareholders of Casinos. This transaction has been accounted for as a
recapitalization of the Company and the issuance of 538,967 shares of Class A
common stock for the net assets of Casinos and the forgiveness of the
liability due to Casinos by the Company.
11. Commitments and Contingencies:
In May 1997, Mark Shoom filed a lawsuit against the Company and James Robert
Shaw to recover the principal, interest and attorney's fees due under a
promissory note dated October 9, 1996 in the original principal amount of
$80,000 payable by the Company and guaranteed personally by Mr. Shaw. . In
June 1997, the Company entered into a Settlement Agreement with Mr. Shoom
under which the Company agreed to issue Mr. Shoom 114,737 shares of the
Company's Class A Common Stock under Regulation S of the Securities and
Exchange Commission. In addition, in the event Mr. Shoom receives net
proceeds from the sale of said shares of less than $103,300, the Company is
obligated to issue Mr. Shoom additional shares with a value, as determined
from the bid price of said stock, equal to the difference between $103,300
and the net proceeds received. To date, the Company has not performed under
the Settlement Agreement, in that the Company has not issued Mr. Shoom the
initial 114,737 shares of Class A Common Stock. As a result of the Company's
breach of the Settlement Agreement, Mr. Shoom, through his attorneys, has
recently filed a motion for entry of a default judgment. The Company and Mr.
Shaw have filed a motion to reopen the default, as well as an answer and
counterclaim. The court recently denied Mr. Shoom's motion and granted the
Company's motion to reopen the default. There is a substantial chance that
the Company will be found liable to Mr. Shoom for some amount of money, the
exact amount of which is unknown at this time.
12. Subsequent events:
On February 28, 1998 the Company entered into an Agreement and Plan of Share
Exchange with AA Corp. and its shareholders (the "Agreement") under which the
Company agreed to acquire all the issued and outstanding stock of AA Corp.
for 500,000 shares of the Company's convertible preferred stock.
Upon execution of the Agreement, the Company's Board of Directors was
reconstituted to include Frank Pringle and Benjamin Silber. In addition, Mr.
Pringle was designated Chairman of the Board of Directors and Co-President of
the Company with Mr. Shaw.
On December 9, 1997, Evelyn Kuntz served a writ of garnishment on the
NationsBank, N.A. in collection of a default judgment which she had obtained
against the Company in the amount of $46,376.31 on August 20, 1997. The writ
of garnishment caused NationsBank to freeze the accounts of the Company and
its wholly owned subsidiary, Classic Restaurants International, Inc., a
Florida corporation. Mr. Kuntz's initial suit was filed to collect the
balance due on a promissory note issued by the Company. On or about December
19, 1997, the Company and Ms. Kuntz entered into a Stipulation for
Dissolution of Writ of Garnishment, Settlement Agreement and Order pursuant
to which the parties agreed that the funds held by NationsBank on behalf of
the Company would be turned over to Ms. Kuntz in partial satisfaction of the
judgment and the funds held by NationsBank on behalf of Classic's subsidiary
were released to the subsidiary. In addition, the Company agreed to make
payments of $5,000 per month to Ms. Kuntz until the balance of the judgment
was satisfied, and to issue Ms. Kuntz 125,000 shares of the Company's Class A
Common Stock as collateral to secure the Company's remaining obligation to
Mr. Kuntz. In return, Ms. Kuntz agreed to forebear from any further
collection efforts as long as the Company was not in default under the terms
of the Stipulation. The Company is in compliance with its monetary
obligations under the Stipulation, and has issued Ms. Kuntz the shares of
Class A Common Stock as collateral.

CLASSIC RESTAURANTS INTERNATIONAL, INC.
12% SERIES A SENIOR SUBORDINATED CONVERTIBLE REDEEMABLE
DEBENTURE DUE JUNE 30, 1998
THIS DEBENTURE is one of a duly authorized issue of Debentures of
Classic Restaurants International, Inc., a corporation duly organized and
existing under the laws of __________ (the "Company") designated as its 12%
Series A Senior Subordinated Convertible Redeemable Debentures Due June 30,
1998, in an aggregate principal face amount not exceeding One Million Three
Hundred Thirty-Three Thousand Three Hundred Thirty-Three Dollars (U.S.
$1,333,333) which Debentures are being purchased at 75% of the face amount of
such Debentures.
FOR VALUE RECEIVED, the Company promises to pay to
_______________________ the registered holder hereof and its successors and
assigns (the "Holder"), the principal face sum of
______________________________ Dollars (US $________) on June 30, 1998 (the
"Maturity Date"), and to pay interest on the principal sum outstanding, at
the rate of 12% per annum due and payable quarterly commencing
_______________, 1997 pursuant to paragraph 4(b) herein. Accrual of interest
shall commence on the date hereof and shall continue until payment in full of
the outstanding principal sum has been made or duly provided for. The
interest so payable will be paid to the person in whose name this Debenture
(or one or more predecessor Debentures) is registered on the records of the
Company regarding registration and transfers of the Debentures (the
"Debenture Register"); provided, however, that the Company's obligation to a
transferee of this Debenture arises only if such transfer, sale or other
disposition is made in accordance with the terms and conditions of the
Offshore Securities Subscription Agreement dated as of ____________, 1997
between the Company and ___________________ (the "Subscription Agreement").
The principal of, and interest (with the exception of the prepaid interest
set forth in Section 4(b) herein) on, this Debenture are payable in such coin
or currency of the United States of America as at the time of payment is
legal tender for payment of public and private debts, at the address last
appearing on the Debenture Register of the Company as designated in writing
by the Holder hereof from time to time. The Company will pay the outstanding
principal due upon this Debenture before or on the Maturity Date, less any
amounts required by law to be deducted or withheld, to the Holder of this
Debenture no later than the tenth (10th) day prior to the Maturity Date by
check or on the Maturity Date by wire transfer and addressed to such Holder
at the last address appearing on the Debenture Register. The forwarding of
such check or wire transfer shall constitute a payment of outstanding
principal hereunder and shall satisfy and discharge the liability for
principal on this Debenture to the extent of the sum represented by such
check or wire transfer plus any amounts so deducted. Interest shall be
payable in Common Stock (as defined below) pursuant to paragraph 4(b) herein.
This Debenture is subject to the following additional provisions:
1. The Debentures are issuable in denominations of One Hundred
Thousand Dollars (US$100,000) and integral multiples thereof. The Debentures
are exchangeable for an equal aggregate principal amount of Debentures of
different authorized denominations, as requested by the Holders surrendering
the same but not less than U.S. $25,000. No service charge will be made for
such registration or transfer or exchange, except that transferee shall pay
any tax or other governmental charges payable in connection therewith.
2. The Company shall be entitled to withhold from all payments of
principal of, and interest on, this Debenture any amounts required to be
withheld under the applicable provisions of the United States income tax or
other applicable laws at the time of such payments.
3. This Debenture has been issued subject to investment
representations of the original purchaser hereof and may be transferred or
exchanged in the U.S. only in compliance with the Securities Act of 1933, as
amended (the "Act") and applicable state securities laws. Prior to due
presentment for transfer of this Debenture, the Company and any agent of the
Company may treat the person in whose name this Debenture is duly registered
on the Company's Debenture Register as the owner hereof for the purpose of
receiving payment as herein provided and for all other purposes, whether or
not this Debenture be overdue, and neither the Company nor any such agent
shall be affected or bound by notice to the contrary. Any holder of this
Debenture, electing to exercise the right of conversion set forth in Section
4(a) hereof, in addition to the requirements set forth in Section 4(a), and
any prospective transferee of this Debenture, is also required to give the
Company (i) written confirmation that it is not a U.S. Person and the
Debenture is not being converted on behalf of a U.S. Person ("Notice of
Conversion") or (ii) an opinion of U.S. counsel to the effect that the
Debenture and shares of common stock issuable upon conversion or transfer
thereof have been registered under the 1933 Act or are exempt from such
registration. In the event a Notice of Conversion or opinion of counsel is
not provided the Holder hereof will not be entitled to exercise the right to
convert or transfer the Debentures.
4. (a) The Holder of this Debenture is entitled, at its option,
at any time commencing 45 days after closing of the Offering hereof to
convert all or any amount over $25,000 of the principal face amount of this
Debenture then outstanding into shares of common stock, $0.001 par value per
share, of the Company (the "Common Stock"), at a conversion price for each
share of Common Stock equal to the lower of (a) 80% of the average closing
bid price of the Common Stock for the business day immediately preceding the
date of receipt by the Company of notice of conversion or (b) 80% of the
average of the closing bid price of the Common Stock for the 5 business days
immediately preceding the date of subscription ("Conversion Shares") as
reported by the National Association of Securities Dealers ("NASDAQ")
Electronic Bulletin Board (the "Conversion Price"). If the number of
resultant Conversion Shares would as a matter of law or pursuant to
regulatory authority require the Company to seek shareholder approval of such
issuance, the Company shall, as soon as practicable, take the necessary steps
to seek such approval. If such approval is not received within 30 days then
Company shall be required to redeem the Debenture pursuant to paragraph 4(c)
herein. Such conversion shall be effectuated by surrendering the Debentures
to be converted (with a copy, by facsimile or courier, to the Company) to the
Company with the form of conversion notice attached hereto as Exhibit I,
executed by the Holder of this Debenture evidencing such Holder's intention
to convert this Debenture or a specified portion (as above provided) hereof,
and accompanied by proper assignment hereof in blank. Accrued but unpaid
interest shall be subject to conversion. No fractional shares or scrip
representing fractions of shares will be issued on conversion, but the number
of shares issuable shall be rounded to the nearest whole share. The
transferee or issuee shall execute such investment representations or other
documents as are respectively required by counsel in order to ascertain the
available registration exemption. The date on which notice of conversion is
given shall be deemed to be the date on which the Holder has delivered this
Debenture, with the assignment and conversion notice duly executed, to the
Company or, if earlier, the date set forth in such notice of conversion if
the Debenture is received by the Company within five (5) business days
thereafter. The transferee or issuee shall execute such investment
representations or other documents as are reasonably required by counsel in
order to ascertain the available registration exemption.
(b) Interest at the rate of 12% per annum shall be payable in
advance, monthly commencing __________________________, 1997. However, at
Closing, the Company shall prepay the first 3 months interest by issuing in
Common Stock of the Company as follows: Based on the closing bid prices of
the Common Stock for the last 5 consecutive trading days prior to Closing
("Market Price") the Company shall issue to the Holder shares of Common Stock
in an amount equal to the total monthly interest accrued and due divided by
80% of the Market Price (the "Interest Shares"). Common Stock issued pursuant
hereto shall be issued pursuant to Regulation S in accordance with the terms
of the Subscription Agreement. Thereafter, commencing 91 days after Closing
the Company shall pay interest on a monthly basis in cash (or Common Stock,
based on the above formula, at the Company's option).
(c) At any time within 120 days the Company shall have the
option to pay to the Holder 120% of the principal amount of the Debenture, in
full, to the extent conversion has not occurred pursuant to paragraph 4(a)
herein, or prepay pursuant to paragraph 9C herein or upon maturity if the
Debenture is not converted, the Company shall give the Holder 5 days written
notice and the Holder shall have the option to convert the Debenture or any
part thereof into shares of Common Stock at a conversion price equal to the
average of the closing bid price of the Common Stock for the 5 consecutive
trading days prior to the date of such conversion or accept the cash
repayment. Any shares issued pursuant to the options shall be issued
pursuant to Regulation S or a Registration Statement.
5. No provision of this Debenture shall alter or impair the
obligation of the Company, which is absolute and unconditional, to pay the
principal of, and interest on, this Debenture at the time, place, and rate,
and in the coin currency, herein prescribed.
6. The Company hereby expressly waives demand and presentment for
payment, notice of nonpayment, protest, notice of protest, notice of
dishonor, notice of acceleration or intent to accelerate, bringing of suit
and diligence in taking any action to collect amounts called for hereunder
and shall be directly and primarily liable for the payment of all sums owing
and to be owing hereon, regardless of and without any notice, diligence, act
or omission as or with respect to the collection of any amount called for
hereunder.
7. The Company agrees to pay all costs and expenses, including
reasonable attorneys' fees, which may be incurred by the Holder in collecting
any amount due under this Debenture.
8. If one or more of the following described "Events of Default"
shall occur and continue for 30 days unless a differed period is otherwise
stated below:
(a) The Company shall default in the payment of principal or
interest on this Debenture; or
(b) Any of the representations or warranties made by the Company
herein, in the Subscription Agreement, or in any certificate or financial or
other written statements heretofore or hereafter furnished by or on behalf of
the Company in connection with the execution and delivery of this Debenture
or the Subscription Agreement shall be false or misleading in any material
respect at the time made; or
(c) The Company shall fail to perform or observe, in any
material respect, any other covenant, term, provision, condition, agreement
or obligation of the Company under this Debenture [and such failure shall
continue uncured for a period of thirty (30) days after notice from the
Holder of such failure]; or
(d) The Company shall (1) become insolvent; (2) admit in writing
its liability to pay its debts generally as they mature; (3) make an
assignment for the benefit of creditors or commence proceedings for its
dissolution; or (4) apply for or consent to the appointment of a trustee,
liquidator or receiver for its or for a substantial part of its property or
business; or
(e) A trustee, liquidator or receiver shall be appointed for
the Company or for a substantial part of its property or business without its
consent and shall not be discharged within thirty (30) days after such
appointment; or
(f) Any governmental agency or any court of competent
jurisdiction at the instance of any governmental agency shall assume custody
or control of the whole or any substantial portion of the properties or
assets of the Company and shall not be dismissed within thirty (30) days
thereafter; or
(g) Any money judgment, writ or warrant of attachment, or
similar process, in excess of One Hundred Thousand ($100,000) Dollars in the
aggregate shall be entered or filed against the Company or any of its
properties or other assets and shall remain unpaid, unvacated, unbonded or
unstayed for a period of fifteen (15) days or in any event later than five
(5) days prior to the date of any proposed sale thereunder; or
(h) Bankruptcy, reorganization, insolvency or liquidation
proceedings or other proceedings for relief under any bankruptcy law or any
law for the relief of debtors shall be instituted by or against the Company
and, if instituted against the Company, shall not be dismissed within thirty
(30) days after such instruction of the Company shall by any action or answer
approve of, consent to, or acquiesce in any such proceedings or admit the
material allegations of, or default in answering a petition filed in any such
proceeding; or
(i) The Company shall have its Common Stock delisted from the
over-the-counter market.
(j) The Company shall fail to issue the Common Stock pursuant to
paragraph 4 herein and as permitted by then current SEC guidelines for this
type of offering without a restrictive legend within 3 days of receipt by the
Company of a facsimile copy of the Notice of Conversion.
Then, or at any time thereafter, and in each and every such case, unless
such Event of Default shall have been waived in writing by the Holder (which
waiver shall not be deemed to be a waiver of any subsequent default) at the
option of the Holder and in the Holder's sole discretion, the Holder may
consider this Debenture immediately due and payable, without presentment,
demand, protest or (further) notice of any kind (other than notice of
acceleration), all of which are hereby expressly waived, anything herein or
in any note or other instruments contained to the contrary notwithstanding,
and the Holder may immediately, and without expiration of any period of
grace, enforce any and all of the Holder's rights and remedies provided
herein or any other rights or remedies afforded by law.
9. (a) This Debenture represents a secured obligation of the
Company pursuant to paragraph 9(b) herein. However, no recourse shall be had
for the payment of the principal of, or the interest on, this Debenture, or
for any claim based hereon, or otherwise in respect hereof, against any
incorporator, shareholder, officer or director, as such, past, present or
future, of the Company or any successor corporation, whether by virtue of any
constitution, statute or rule of law, or by the enforcement of any assessment
or penalty or otherwise, all such liability being, by the acceptance hereof
and as part of the consideration for the issue hereof, expressly waived and
released.
(b) Company shall contemporaneously with the issuance of this
Debenture grant the Holder a pro rata lien against assets described in
Exhibit B hereto having a value of not less than $1,000,000.
10. The Holder of this Debenture, by acceptance hereof, agrees that
this Debenture is being acquired for investment and that such Holder will not
offer, sell or otherwise dispose of this Debenture or the Shares of Common
Stock issuable upon exercise thereof except under circumstances which will
not result in a violation of the Act or any applicable state Blue Sky law or
similar laws relating to the sale of securities.
11. In case any provision of this Debenture is held by a court of
competent jurisdiction to be excessive in scope or otherwise invalid or
unenforceable, such provision shall be adjusted rather than voided, if
possible, so that it is enforceable to the maximum extent possible, and the
validity and enforceability of the remaining provisions of this Debenture
will not in any way be affected or impaired thereby.
12. This Debenture and the agreements referred to in this Debenture
constitute the full and entire understanding and agreement between the
Company and the Holder with respect to the subject hereof. Neither this
Debenture nor any term hereof may be amended, waived, discharged or
terminated other than by a written instrument signed by the Company and the
Holder.
13. This Debenture shall be governed by and construed in accordance
with the laws of New York. Holder hereby waives trial by jury and consents
to exclusive jurisdiction and venue in the State of New York.
14. As set forth herein, the Company shall use all reasonable efforts
to issue and deliver, within three business days after the Holder has
fulfilled all conditions and submitted all necessary documents duly executed
and in proper form required for conversion (the "Deadline"), to the Holder or
any part receiving a Debenture by transfer from the Holder (together, a
"Holder"), at the address of the Holder on the books of the Company, a
certificate or certificates for the number of Shares of Common Stock to which
the Holder shall be entitled. It is understood by both parties that such
certificates comply with the then enacted SEC regulations governing this
transaction. The Company understands that a delay in the issuance of the
Shares of Common Stock beyond the Deadline could result in economic loss to
the Holder. As compensation to the Holder for such loss, the Company agrees
to pay liquidated damages to the Holder for late issuance of Shares upon
conversion in accordance with the following schedule (where "No. Business
Days Late" is defined as the number of business days beyond seven (7)
business days from the date of receipt by the Company of a Notice of
Conversion and the transfer agent of all necessary documentation duly
executed and in proper form required for conversion, including the original
Debenture to be converted, all in accordance with the Debenture, Subscription
Agreement and the requirements of the transfer agent):
Liquidated Damages per
No. Business Days Late $100,000 of Debenture
1 $500
2 $1,000
3 $1,500
4 $2,000
5 $2,500
6 $3,000
7 $3,500
8 $4,000
9 $4,500
10 $5,000
10 $5,000 + $1,000 each
Business Day Late beyond 10 days
The Company shall pay the Holder any liquidated damages incurred under
this Section by check upon the earlier to occur of (i) issuance of the Shares
to the Holder or (ii) each monthly anniversary of the receipt of the Company
of such Holder's Notice of Conversion. Nothing herein shall limit the
Holder's right to pursue actual damages for the Company's failure to issue
and deliver shares of Common Stock to the Subscriber in accordance with the
terms of the Debenture.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Company has caused this instrument to be duly
executed by an officer thereunto duly authorized.
