NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (unaudited) - June 30, 1996
NOTE 1: Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Bishop Equities, Inc. (the "Company") was organized in Nevada on April
17, 1991, and is a blank check company with no defined business plan
other than intention to acquire an existing private company through an
exchange of securities (the "Business Combination"). Selection of the
Business Combination candidate will be at the complete discretion of
Management, and upon consummation, control and management of the
Company may pass to other individuals who are presently unknown and
unidentifiable. The Company's success will depend upon Management's
ability to locate a suitable candidate for Business Combination, and to
consummate the transaction, and on the eventual profitability of the
resulting entity.
The Company's year end is March 31.
Organization costs will be amortized over a 60-month period.
During the period covered by the Report, the Company's activities were
limited to investigating potential candidates for merger or
acquisition.
NOTE 2: Capitalization
The Offering commenced March 8, 1993 and concluded on March 19, 1993.
The Company sold to the public, through its underwriter, Westminster
Securities Corp. (the "Underwriter"), on a firm-commitment basis, a
total of 11,500 shares of common stock, par value $.001 per share (the
"Shares"), at $6.00 per Share, including the exercise of the
Underwriter's overallotment option.
The Company received net proceeds of $60,042 after deduction of $8,970
in underwriting commissions and discounts. Additional offering expenses
totalled $25,531, of which $20,607 was paid as of March 31, 1993 and
the remainder was paid subsequently.
Officers and directors are reimbursed for out-of-pocket expenses
incurred in the investigation of Business Combination candidates on the
Company's behalf including travel expenses.
The Underwriter purchased 1,000 nonredeemable Underwriter Warrants
for $.0125 each. Each may be exercised by the registered

Notes to financial statements - June 30, 1996 -continued
holder to purchase one share for $7.20 during a four-year exercise
period commencing March 8, 1994. The exercise price and number of
Shares purchasable are subject to anti-dilution adjustment upon
occurrence of certain events.
The Company has undertaken to include the Underwriter Warrants in any
registration statement it may file during a six-year period commencing
March 8, 1994, and to file a registration statement containing the
Underwriter Warrants and/or underlying Shares at the request of the
holders on two occasions during a five-year period commencing March 8,
1993. The Underwriter has executed an undertaking that any registration
of the Underwriter Warrants will be for exercise, not distribution.
The amount of paid-in-capital was reduced by the amount of Deferred
Offering costs, and the costs of the Offering were offset against the
proceeds of the Offering.
NOTE 3: Employees; Related Party Transactions
The Company's officers are its only employees. No salaries were paid to
officers during the period. The secretary-treasurer, Maureen Abato, is
also the Company's attorney, and has been paid fees for certain legal
services rendered. The officers and directors have limited experience
in evaluating businesses and devote only minimal time to the Company's
affairs.
NOTE 4: Lease Commitment
Registrant maintains a rent-free mailing address in its president's
office, 355 South End Ave., #22B, New York NY 10280.
NOTE 5: Conflicts of Interest
Certain conflicts of interest will continue to exist between the
Company and its officers and directors, each of whom has other business
interests to which she devotes substantial attention. Each officer and
director is expected to continue in such activities, which could
detract from management time necessary for the Company's affairs.
The officers and directors hold similar positions in, and are major
shareholders of, other public 'blank check' companies and may also
become involved with other corporations which may file registration
statements for blank check offerings, all of which may compete with the
Company for available opportunities.
-7-

BISHOP EQUITIES, INC.
A DEVELOPMENT STAGE ENTERPRISE
Notes to financial statements - June 30, 1996 -continued
Management has established a limited policy for handling potential
conflicts of interest which may arise. The Company intends not to
conduct any business transaction with an entity in which its officers,
directors, major shareholders, or their affiliates or associates, have
an ownership interest. Further, the Company intends not to join in any
type of business combination with any of the other corporations in
which its officers and directors are involved in the same or similar
capacities.
The public offerings of all of the blank check ventures in which the
Company's president has been involved were also underwritten by the
Company's underwriter, Westminster Securities Corp. The Company's
independent auditor, Jody M. Weber, CPA, served as the independent
auditor for each.
Business Combination candidates are expected to become available
primarily through the personal contacts of the Company's officers and
directors, and the Company has not present intention to engage
professional firms specializing in business acquisitions or
reorganizations, nor to retain, hire or utilize any consultants. No
finders fees will be paid to any party in connection with a Business
Combination. No prediction can be made as to the costs of identifying a
suitable candidate for a Business Combination, or of consummating such
a transaction.
NOTE 6: Risk Factors
The Company was recently organized, has no history of operations or
revenues and is in its earliest stages of development.
The Company has no working capital and its ability to conduct its
proposed activities, i.e., the investigation of Business Combination
candidates, and operate as a going concern, is contingent upon locating
an acquisition candidate and consummating such transaction. The
Company's capital has been deemed sufficient to commence only very
limited operations.
NOTE 7: "Blue Sky Laws"
Many states have imposed restrictions on the tradeability of securities
of "blank check" companies. Upon completion of a Business Combination,
its securities may become eligible for sale in additional states.
