PART I
ITEM 1. DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS.
Focal Corporation ("Company") was incorporated in Utah on August 12, 1980
as Petro Funding, Inc., for the purpose of acquiring, exploring and developing
natural resource properties. The Company changed its name to TVM Global
Entertainment, Inc. in November 1982, and to Cinema Features, Inc. in July 1983,
as part of the Company's plan to invest in movie production and distribution
rights. By January 1985, the Company had acquired the movie and video cassette
distribution rights for eight motion pictures. In 1989, the Company's movie
rights were independently appraised for audit purposes and the total cost base
of $2,100,000 was decreased by $770,000 to a revised value of $1,330,000.
In March 1993, after several years of unprofitable operations, the
Company's Board of Directors entered into negotiations to sell the Company's
movie rights. As a result of a shareholders meeting held on May 17, 1993, and
with the approval of the Company's shareholders, all of the Company's assets
relating to movie production and distribution were sold to an independent
marketing firm in exchange for $1,200,000 worth of restricted stock. See
"Management's Discussion and Analysis or Plan of Operations." Shortly
thereafter, the shares of restricted stock were distributed to the shareholders
of the Company, on a pro rata basis and without consideration, and the Company's
Articles of Incorporation were amended to change the name of the Company to
Focal Corporation. In addition to the name change, the amendment to the
Company's Articles of Incorporation effected a one-for-ten reverse stock split
of the Company's Common Stock, changed the par value of the Company's Common
Stock to $0.10 per share and established a new class of undesignated preferred
stock.
During August 1993, the Company's Board of Directors approved a new
business plan to acquire and develop community shopping centers and other
operating real properties. In connection with the Company's new business plan,
the Board of Directors appointed Howard M. Palmer as President and Chairman of
the Board. See "Certain Relationships and Related Transactions." Through Mr.
Palmer's experience, coupled with a number of experienced consultants, including
independent architects, construction and civil engineers, developers, brokers
and attorneys, the Company intends to acquire existing shopping centers anchored
by national retail tenants with operations that generate positive cash flows. As
the Company's financial condition improves, and as appropriate opportunities
arise, the Company also intends to acquire strategically- located vacant land
suitable for the development of discount and neighborhood shopping centers. The
Company has never acquired a discount shopping center, acquired vacant land
suitable for development of a shopping center or developed a shopping center.
Accordingly, there is no assurance that any shopping centers will be
successfully acquired or developed in the future. However, because the Company's
President has over 25 years of experience in the development, ownership and
management of shopping centers, and because the Company has engaged the services
of independent consultants with many years of experience in site analysis,
property acquisition, land use regulations, anchor tenant negotiations and the
development of retail complexes with national discount-oriented tenants, the
Company believes it has in such individuals the necessary expertise to
accomplish the Company's business plan. It is intended that shopping centers
which are either acquired or developed by the Company will be operated, on a
day-to-day basis, by professional managers selected by the Company.
1
<PAGE>
The Company is in various stages of negotiation to acquire properties in
Las Vegas, Nevada (two shopping centers), Lancaster, California (one shopping
center), Calexico, California (developable land, San Bernardino, California
(developable land), Victorville, California (developable land) and Barstow,
California (developable land). Each of the shopping centers is anchored by a
major national retailer (such as K-Mart) on a long-term lease, and range in size
from 84,000 square feet to 297,733 square feet. The unimproved parcels are zoned
for commercial use, and the Company has received preliminary indications of
interest from major national retailers to be the anchor tenants. The parcels
range in size from 14 to 63 acres.
ITEM 2. DESCRIPTION OF PROPERTY.
The Company occupies a small office in Anaheim, California provided by
Palmer Development Company, an affiliate of the Company's President. The Company
presently pays no rent. Management of the Company considers the office space to
be adequate to meet the current demands of the Company's business; however, the
Company is currently looking at larger office space in Orange County,
California, which will accommodate a small property management and
administrative staff.
ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS.
The Company is not a party to any litigation and is not aware of any
pending or threatened litigation against the Company. James Collins, a former
financial consultant of the Company, has a stipulated judgment against the
Company for $24,000 in unpaid consulting fees. Jackson, DeMarco & Peckenpaugh,
the Company's former counsel, has recorded a $71,000 judgment (and lien against
the Company's assets) for unpaid legal fees.
ITEM 4. SUBMISSION OF MATTERS TO A VOTE OF SECURITY HOLDERS.
No matters were submitted to a vote of security holders during the fourth
quarter of the fiscal year covered by this report.
PART II
ITEM 5. MARKET FOR COMMON EQUITY AND RELATED SHAREHOLDER MATTERS.
Although previously traded in Utah pursuant to a Secondary Trading
Transactional Exemption under old Rule 177-14-2m of the Utah Uniform Securities
Act, there has been no active trading market for the Common Stock of the Company
since 1984. The Company's Common Stock is not listed on any exchange and is not
quoted or traded on the over-the-counter market. No broker maintains a position
or deals in the Company's Common Stock. No bid or asked prices are quoted in the
pink sheets or any local newspaper. Although the Company uses a transfer agent
to maintain its stock transfer ledgers, the Company is typically aware of any
transactions involving changes in record ownership.
As of April 13, 1999, there were 5,175,176 shares of the Company's Common
Stock issued and outstanding, held of record by 462 shareholders.
The Company has paid no dividends on its Common Stock and does not expect
to pay dividends in the foreseeable future.
Oxford Transfer & Registrar Agency, Inc. in Portland, Oregon serves as
transfer agent for the Common Stock of the Company.

ITEM 6. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OR PLAN OF OPERATIONS.
PLAN OF OPERATIONS
In May 1993, the Company discontinued its operations relating to movie
distribution and sold substantially all of its assets to Maverick Marketing
Management, Inc., a Nevada corporation ("Maverick"), in exchange for shares of
common stock of Maverick and shares of common stock of Interdec Corporation, a
Colorado corporation ("Interdec"), which were held by Maverick. All of the
shares of common stock of Maverick and Interdec were subsequently distributed to
the Company's shareholders on a pro rata basis and for no consideration. The
Company realized a $271,000 net gain on the sale of the assets to Maverick.
The Company's current plan of operations is to acquire commercial shopping
centers in the Western United States. The Company expects to target centers
anchored by long-term leases with national, credit- rated retail tenants and
which generate positive cash flows. The Company intends to acquire existing
shopping centers of approximately eight to 20 acres, which are expected to
include a major discount department store, a major supermarket and several
credit-rated retailers strategically spaced between the larger anchors. Some
complexes also will include separate out-lots suitable for family type
restaurants. In addition, as the Company's financial condition improves and as
appropriate opportunities arise, the Company plans to option or contract for
strategically-located vacant land suitable for the development of shopping
centers, such options or contracts to be subject to negotiating pre-building
leases with major retail tenants.
The Company's investment objective in considering each potential
acquisition is to achieve long-term capital appreciation through increased cash
flow and increased value of the acquired property. The Company will seek to
accomplish this investment objective through (i) selective acquisitions of
shopping centers which are strategically located and which generally provide
positive cash flows, (ii) improved operations of the shopping centers and
lease-up of unleased space, and (iii) where deemed appropriate, expansions,
renovations and redevelopments of these properties. A key criterion for property
investments will be that they offer the opportunity for growth in revenues from
operations. The Company may purchase or lease properties for long-term
investment or sell such properties, in whole or in part, when circumstances
warrant. The Company may also participate with other entities in property
ownership, through joint ventures or other types of co-ownership. Equity
investments may be subject to existing mortgage financing and other indebtedness
which have priority over the equity interest of the Company.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The Company had no revenue from operations during the fiscal years ended
June 30, 1998 and 1997.
The Company's expenses during the fiscal years ended June 30, 1998 and 1997
amounted to $358,165 and $610,696, respectively. Expenses decreased by $252,531
primarily as a result of $200,000 in consulting fees paid to Bell Financial,
Inc. (of which the Company's Secretary, Richard C. Shinn, is president) during
Fiscal 1997, which were not incurred during Fiscal 1998, and reduced expenses
for executive compensation by virtue of the resignation of the Company's former
Chief Financial Officer.
The Company had a net loss of $301,586 for the fiscal year ended June 30,
1998, and a net loss of $500,303 for the fiscal year ended June 30, 1997.
Because there was no revenue generated during those periods, these losses
generally represent the Company's operating expenses plus income tax, offset by
certain forgiveness of indebtedness income.
3
<PAGE>
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
The Company's liquidity over the past two years has been materially and
adversely affected by continuing operating losses. The Company has experienced
total net losses of $801,889 for the two years ended June 30, 1998. The Company
currently has no operations and is dependent on private debt and equity
financing to fund its day to day cash requirements. Accordingly, the independent
auditors' report covering the Company's financial statements is qualified as to
the Company's ability to continue as a going concern.
The Company is in the process of attempting to raise approximately $500,000
("Offering") for working capital. The offering is expected to consist of
Convertible Notes and will be made to "accredited investors" only pursuant to
Regulation D under the Securities Act of 1933.
During the fiscal year ended June 30, 1998, the Company raised $101,000
through the sale of Convertible Notes. The Convertible Notes are convertible
into 202,000 shares of Common Stock. The purchasers of the Convertible Notes
also received Warrants to purchase an additional 202,000 shares of Common Stock.
At June 30, 1998, the Company had total liabilities of $1,095,525, of which
$279,528 represented expense reimbursements and loans payable to officers and
directors and their families (all of whom have agreed to defer payment until
such time as the Company is financially able to pay such payments).
OUTLOOK
Certain statements contained in this "Outlook" are "forward-looking
statements" that involve risks and uncertainties. The actual future results of
the Company could differ materially from those statements. Factors that could
cause or contribute to such differences include, but are not limited to, those
discussed in this report, uncertainties regarding market fluctuations in the
commercial real estate industry, increased competition with respect to the
acquisition or development of shopping centers, and risks associated with
managing the Company's growth.
The Company's future operating results could be impacted by factors such as
a slower growth rate in the market, increased competition, fluctuations in the
fair market value of the Company's Common Stock and Convertible Preferred Stock
or adverse changes in general economic conditions in the region of the United
States in which the Company does business.
Management believes that proceeds from the Offering will generate
sufficient working capital to conduct the business of the Company during the
period that the Company negotiates for and closes the acquisition of its first
shopping center. Once the Company has acquired a shopping center that meets the
Company's investment criteria, which include among other things, the ability to
generate positive cash flows, management believes that such cash flows will
provide the liquidity and capital resources necessary to conduct the business of
the Company. Management of the Company believes that between the funds generated
by the Offering and any cash flows resulting from the acquisition of a shopping
center, the Company will generate enough cash to support its operations over the
next twelve months. Nonetheless, the negotiations for acquisition or development
of a shopping center are not yet final. Further, there is no guarantee that any
shopping center acquired or developed will generate positive cash flows.
Accordingly, there is no guarantee that the Company will generate enough cash to
support its operations over the next twelve months.
The Company believes it currently is in the final stages of negotiating the
acquisitions of several discount shopping centers and lots of land which are
4
<PAGE>
suitable for the development of discount shopping centers. Nonetheless, the
Company has never acquired a discount shopping center, acquired vacant land
suitable for development of a shopping center or developed a shopping center.
Accordingly, there is no assurance that any shopping centers will be
successfully acquired or developed in the future. However, because the Company's
President has over 25 years of experience in the development, ownership and
management of shopping centers, and because the Company has engaged the services
of independent consultants with many years of experience in site analysis,
property acquisition, land use regulations, anchor tenant negotiations and the
development of retail complexes with national discount-oriented tenants, the
Company believes it has in such individuals the necessary expertise to
accomplish the Company's business plan.
Currently, the Company does not own or manage any shopping centers or other
real properties. In addition, the Company currently does not have funds
necessary for the acquisition or development of shopping centers. Therefore, the
Company intends to rely on its management to successfully negotiate the
acquisition of existing shopping centers and vacant land in exchange for shares
of the Company's Common Stock or Convertible Preferred Stock. It is anticipated
that each such acquisition will be separately negotiated based on the owner's
equity or tax base in the subject property. No assurance can be given, however,
that management will be able to convince sellers of desirable properties to
accept the Company's securities in lieu of cash or a secured note.
Although the Company currently intends to acquire shopping centers in
exchange for shares of the Company's Common Stock or Convertible Preferred
Stock, if the Board of Directors determines that additional or other funding is
required to acquire the shopping centers, the Company may attempt to raise such
funds through equity offerings, debt financing or retention of cash flow, or a
combination of these methods. If the Board of Directors determines to raise
equity capital, it has the authority, without shareholder approval, to issue
shares of Common Stock or Convertible Preferred Stock in any manner (and on such
terms and for such consideration) it deems appropriate, including in exchange
for property. Existing shareholders have no preemptive right to purchase shares
issued in any offering, and any such offering might cause a dilution of a
shareholder's investment in the Company. Indebtedness incurred by the Company
may be in the form of bank borrowings, purchase money obligations to the sellers
of properties, secured and unsecured, and publicly and privately placed debt
investments. Such indebtedness may be recourse to all of the properties of the
Company or may be limited to the particular property to which the indebtedness
relates. The proceeds from any borrowings by the Company may be used for working
capital, to refinance existing indebtedness or to finance acquisitions,
expansions or development of new properties.
The Company currently intends to adhere to a policy of limiting the
incurrence of debt so that the Company's ratio of total debt to total equity on
its portfolio of shopping center properties does not exceed 70%. The Company may
from time to time modify its debt policy in light of then current economic
conditions, relative costs of debt and equity capital, the market value of
acquired properties, general conditions in the market for debt and equity
securities, fluctuations in the fair market value of the Company's Common Stock
and Convertible Preferred Stock, growth and acquisition opportunities and other
factors. Accordingly, the Company may increase or decrease the total debt to
total equity ratio beyond the limits described above.
Management of the Company considers the office space currently used to be
adequate to meet the current demands of the Company's business. The Company
believes that this space will not be sufficient in the near future considering
its expected growth and is currently looking at larger office space in Orange
County, California, which will accommodate a small property management and
administrative staff.

IMPACT OF YEAR 2000
Many existing software programs use only two digits to identify the year in
the date field. If such programs are not corrected, date data concerning the
Year 2000 could cause many computer applications to fail, lock-up or generate
erroneous results.
The Company believes that its software programs and computerized systems
used to report financial information currently are Year 2000 compliant.
Nonetheless, there can be no assurance that there will be no interruption of
operations or other limitations of system functionality, or that the Company
will not incur substantial costs to avoid such occurrences.
Item 7. FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND SUPPLEMENTARY DATA.
The financial statements of the Company are submitted as a separate
section of this Form 10-KSB on pages F-1 through F-16.
Item 8. CHANGES IN AND DISAGREEMENTS WITH ACCOUNTANTS.
Kelly & Company ("Kelly") resigned as the Company's Certifying
Accountant effective September 9, 1995.
The reports of Kelly on the Company's financial statements for the past
two fiscal years did not contain an adverse opinion or a disclaimer of opinion.
However, the financial statements were prepared to reflect the uncertainty as to
the Company's ability to continue as a going concern.
In connection with the audit of the Company's financial statements for
the year ended June 30, 1994 and the interim period through the date of
dismissal, there was no disagreement between the Company and Kelly on any matter
of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or
auditing scope or procedure, and there was no reportable event required to be
disclosed.
The Company requested that Kelly furnish it a letter addressed to the
Commission stating whether it agrees with the above statements. A copy of that
letter, dated September 8, 1995, was filed as Exhibit 16 to the Company's Form
8-K dated September 25, 1995.
On September 25, 1995, the Company appointed Caldwell, Becker, Dervin,
Petrick & Company ("CBDP") as its new Certifying Accountant. The Company did not
consult with CBDP or any other accounting firm regarding the application of
accounting principles to a specified transaction, either completed or proposed,
or the type of opinion that might be rendered regarding the Company's financial
statements, nor did the Company consult with CBDP with respect to any accounting
disagreement or any reportable event at any time prior to the appointment of
such firm.

with attendance at Board of Directors' meetings and receive a $100 per month
director's fee.
COMPLIANCE WITH BENEFICIAL OWNERSHIP REPORTING RULES
Section 16(a) of the Securities Act of 1934, as amended ("Exchange
Act"), requires the Company's executive officers and directors, and persons who
beneficially own more than 10% of a registered class of the Company's Common
Stock to file initial reports of ownership and reports of changes in ownership
with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("Commission"). Such officers,
directors and shareholders are required by Commission regulations to furnish the
Company with copies of all such reports that they file.
Based solely upon a review of copies of such reports furnished to the
Company during its fiscal year ended June 30, 1998 and thereafter, or any
written representations received by the Company from a director, officer or
beneficial owner of more than 10% of the Company's Common Stock ("reporting
persons") that no other reports were required, the Company believes that, during
the Company's 1998 fiscal year, all Section 16(a) filing requirements applicable
to the Company's reporting persons were complied with.

In connection with the reorganization of the Company and the Board of
Directors' desire to acquire real estate assets, operating funds and additional
management personnel, the Company entered into an agreement dated July 29, 1993
among the Company, Focal Development Corporation of Nevada ("FDCN") (a Nevada
corporation controlled by the estate of James T. Hays) and Howard M. Palmer.
Pursuant to the agreement, Mr. Palmer became President of the Company and began
the process of locating and negotiating for shopping center properties through
his independent network of experienced retail site selectors, lease negotiators
and property managers. Each acquisition will be negotiated and approved by the
Company's Board of Directors on an individual basis. In connection with the
agreement, FDCN transferred its 404,839 shares of the Company's Common Stock as
follows: 160,000 shares to Mr. Palmer, 80,000 shares to Don Zink and the balance
to Mr. Hays. Mr. Zink subsequently transferred his 80,000 shares to a business
associate. Mr. Hays subsequently gifted his shares to various individuals,
including 64,054 shares to his wife. In addition, Coast Advisors, Inc., an
affiliate of Mr. Palmer, was issued 10,000 shares of the Company's Common Stock
in exchange for a $5,000 capital contribution.
In August 1993, Howard M. Palmer was issued 250,000 shares of the

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT
March 5, 1999
To the Board of Directors
Focal Corporation
Anaheim, California
We have audited the accompanying balance sheet of Focal Corporation (a
development stage company) as of June 30, 1998, and the related statements of
operations, shareholders' equity (deficit), and cash flows for the years ended
June 30, 1998 and 1997, and for the period from July 1, 1994 to June 30, 1995.
These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management.
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the financial statements based on
our audit. The financial statements of Focal Corporation (a development stage
company) from inception (July 1, 1993) to June 30, 1994 were audited by other
auditors whose report has been furnished to us and is included in these
financial statements. Our opinion insofar as it relates to the amounts included
for Focal Corporation (a development stage company) for the period from
inception (July 1, 1993) to June 30, 1994, is based solely on the report of the
other auditors.
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, based on our audit and the report of the other auditors,
the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material
respects, the financial position of Focal Corporation (a development stage
company) as of June 30, 1998, and the results of its operations and its cash
flows for the years ended June 30, 1998 and 1997 and from inception (July 1,
1993) to June 30, 1998, 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 9 to the
financial statements, there is doubt about the ability of the Company to
continue as a going concern. The financial statements do not include any
adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Development Stage Company
Focal Corporation was incorporated in the State of Utah in 1980 as
Petro-Funding. The Company sold and distributed its assets from the movie
distribution business during May and June of 1993. The Company then changed the
focus of its business on July 1, 1993 to the acquisition, development and
management of commercial real estate, primarily shopping centers. The Company
has not acquired any properties as of the date of this report, and has not
recognized any income from the date of inception (July 1, 1993) to June 30,
1998. As the Company was involved in other businesses prior to July 1, 1993, an
accumulated deficit of $1,739,945 had been incurred to the last day of those
operations on June 30, 1993. Focal Corporation has not generated revenue since
the sale and distribution of assets from the movie distribution business during
May and June of 1993. As such, the accompanying financial statements have been
prepared using the accounting formats prescribed for development stage companies
since July 1, 1993.
Income Taxes
The Company files federal income and state franchise tax returns. The Company
accounts for deferred income taxes using the liability method in accordance with
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 109 (SFAS No. 109), which it
adopted during 1994. Deferred income taxes are computed based on the tax
liability or benefit in future years of the reversal of temporary differences in
the recognition of income or deduction of expenses between financial and tax
reporting purposes. The net difference between tax expense and taxes currently
payable is reflected in the balance sheet as deferred taxes. Deferred tax assets
and/or liabilities are classified as current and non-current based on the
classification of the related asset or liability for financial reporting
purposes, or based on the expected reversal date for deferred taxes that are not
related to an asset or liability.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that
affect certain reported amounts and disclosures. Accordingly, actual results
could differ from those estimates.
Year 2000 Compliance
In general, management believes its computerized systems used to report
financial information are year 2000 compliant. Management does not foresee any
material year 2000 problems with the Company's vendors, service providers, or
other third parties which affect the Company's financial information.
NOTE 2 - INCOME TAXES
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recorded based on the difference between
the financial statement and tax return bases of assets and liabilities. Deferred
tax assets and liabilities at the end of each period are determined using the
tax rate expected to be in effect when taxes on these accounts are expected to
be paid or recovered. Accordingly, the current period tax provision can be
affected by the enactment of new tax rates.

utilized. The valuation allowance increased by $114,947 from June 30, 1997 to
June 30, 1998 as a result of additional operating losses.
As of June 30, 1998 and 1997, for income tax purposes, the Company had

computed based on the weighted average number of shares of common stock and
common stock equivalents outstanding during each year. The number of weighted
average common and common equivalent shares, as applicable, outstanding during
the years ended June 30, 1998 and 1997 was 3,708,176 and 3,340,576,
respectively. Fully diluted per share data is not presented as the effects would
be antidilutive.
NOTE 7 - COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
The Company has entered into an employment contract with its president that
provides for a monthly salary and annual vacation pay. The contract expires on
June 30, 2002. Due to lack of Company funds, this amount is being accrued.
However, the president of the Company has elected to waive his rights to all
vacation pay earned during fiscal years 1997 and 1998 and, as such, no amounts
have been accrued for these periods.
NOTE 8 - RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
The Company has accrued operating expenses of $27,980 due to officer and
directors of the Company at June 30, 1998. During the fiscal year 1998, the
Company recognized $27,949 of the amount due to a deceased officer as relief of
debt. This amount has been on the books since 1995 (see Note 11).
During the year ended June 30, 1998, the Company issued 240,000 shares of common
stock and 240,000 warrants (see Note 10) valued at $120,000 to Howard Palmer,
president of the Company, in lieu of salary for the fiscal year ending June 30,
1997. For the fiscal year 1998, salary to Howard Palmer of $180,000 has been
accrued. Accrued payroll -- president includes this $180,000 for the current

NOTE 8 - RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS (CONTINUED)
Subsequent to the year end, the Company issued 360,000 shares of common stock
and 360,000 warrants valued at $180,000 to Howard Palmer in lieu of salary for
the fiscal year ended June 30, 1998. In addition, the Company extended the
expiration date of 200,000 warrants held by Howard Palmer from June 30, 1998 to
June 30, 2001 (see Note 10).
NOTE 9 - UNCERTAINTY OF ABILITY TO CONTINUE AS A GOING CONCERN
The financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company will continue
as a going concern. The Company currently has no operations and is dependent
upon funds from a private placement for funding its day-to-day cash
requirements. The Company has been directing its efforts to acquiring
well-leased, existing ten to twenty acre discount shopping centers, anchored by
major national retail tenants. The Company has located properties in Arizona,
California and Nevada that fit its investment criteria and is exploring ways to
finance the acquisition of these properties. If the Company is able to acquire
these properties, the properties may generate adequate revenues for the Company
to finance its operations. The Company's president, who has been in the discount
shopping center development business for over twenty-five years, is currently
working with representatives of national retail chains to select possible sites
in various areas for future development of shopping centers. The Company
proposes to construct the facilities and lease them back to the retailers on
long term leases. At the present time there is no assurance that these events
will take place. The effect of the foregoing matters raises substantial doubt
about the ability of the Company to continue as a going concern. As discussed in
Notes 3 and 4, the Company is also dependent upon creditors not calling the
loans.
NOTE 10 - WARRANTS TO PURCHASE COMMON STOCK
In connection with the restructuring of the Company, 260,000 warrants were
issued to certain individuals in 1996 to purchase common stock. Each warrant
represents the right to purchase one share of the Company's common stock at
prices ranging from $1 to $3 per share. The warrants expire on December 31,
1999.
In connection with the issuance of stock and notes payable during 1994, the
Company issued 93,440 warrants to purchase common stock at prices ranging from
$1 to $3 per share. The warrants expire on December 31, 1999.
In connection with the issuance of stock and notes payable during 1995, the
Company issued 102,000 warrants to purchase common stock at prices ranging from
$1 to $3 per share. The warrants expire on December 31, 1999.
In connection with the issuance of stock and notes payable during 1996, the
Company issued 326,392 warrants to purchase common stock at prices ranging from
$1 to $3 per share. The warrants expire on December 31, 1999.
Along with shares of common stock issued to two individuals in 1993 and 1995,

share, expiring on December 31, 1999.
On July 31, 1996, the Company issued 240,000 warrants to Howard Palmer (see Note

and expire on December 31, 1999.

Note 8). These warrants are exercisable at prices ranging from $1 to $3 per
share, and expire on December 31, 1999.

1998, the Company issued 8,000 shares, 3,000 shares, and 12,000 shares of
warrants to Howard Palmer. These warrants are exercisable at prices ranging from
$1 to $3 per share, and expire on November 23, 2000, March 24, 2001, and April

NOTE 10 - WARRANTS TO PURCHASE COMMON STOCK (CONTINUED)
On August 31, 1998, the Company issued 360,000 warrants to Howard Palmer (see
Note 8). These warrants are exercisable at prices ranging from $1 to $3 per
share, and expire on June 30, 2001.
On July 1, 1998, the Company extended the expiration date of 200,000 warrants

year 1998, the Company issued 100,000 warrants to nine individuals. These
warrants are exercisable at prices ranging from $1 to $3 per share, and expire
starting from August 5, 2000 through April 24, 2001.
NOTE 11 - INCOME FROM RELIEF OF DEBT
The Company had $27,949 from 1995 of accrued operating expenses due to a former
officer, who passed away four years ago. The Company has been unsuccessful in
trying to locate the family of the former officer to discuss any payment
arrangement. Because there is no assurance that the Company will ever be able to
contact the family of the former officer, the Company recognized this liability
as relief of debt for the fiscal year 1998.
The Company recognized an additional relief of debt from various accrued
operating expenses including, but not limited to, accounting fees and
architectural fees, which have been on the books since 1994. The Company
determined that various individuals and companies will not collect these
liabilities, and therefore, recognized an additional $29,530 as income.
NOTE 12 - ACCOUNTS PAYABLE
A lien was recorded against any real property owned by the Company in the County
of Orange for the balance due to a subcontractor in an amount of $24,000. This
amount has been on the books since 1995.
NOTE 13 - SHARES HELD BY FOCAL CORPORATION
As of June 30, 1998, the Company held a certificate of 800,000 shares, which was
issued to a potential investor. These shares will be forwarded to the
shareholder when the obligation of investing $5,000,000 in the Company is
fulfilled. Due to the contingency of this transaction, it has not been recorded
on the books.
