PART 1
ITEM 1 BUSINESS
History
The Company was incorporated in California on August 15, 1983 using the name of
Tahoe Lake Concessions, Inc. The Company did not conduct any business activities
until 1993. On June 21, 1993, the Company's shareholders ratified an Agreement
and Plan of Reorganization dated June 11, 1993, whereby the Company would
acquire certain assets and liabilities in exchange for $100,000 cash plus a
promissory note for $200,000 payable within six months, and the issuance of
8,000,000 shares of its common stock. In a ddition, the Company's shareholders
approved the name change to BAOA, Inc.
In 1993, the Company developed and marketed a board game titled "Black Americans
of Achievement". With several major sponsors, the board game was successfully
marketed through national retail stores through the end of 1994. The Company
developed several other products, including a credit card program, a sports
clothing logo, and a television game show. The Company conducted national school
board game tournaments until 1995. As the Company's products and tournaments did
not result in the anticipated amo unts of revenue and profit, management elected
to reduce the emphasis of board game sales and related product development
during 1996.
General
The management of BAOA, Inc. ("the Company") changed the primary focus of the
company from the marketing and sales of a board game to telemarketing in 1997.
The Company used its 1997 operating resources and cash to enable it to compete
in the telemarketing call center business in 1998. After considerable analysis,
management has determined that the best business strategy to ensure the
profitability of the telemarketing centers would be to open call centers in
federally designated empowerment zones throu ghout the United States. BAOA has
formed a strategic alliance with First National Communications Network, Inc., a
major telemarketing and call center management company, to assist BAOA in
marketing and managing its telemarketing call centers. The first call center
will be in Atlanta, with an anticipated opening in the second quarter of 1998.
The next call centers will be opened in Los Angeles in the fourth quarter of
1998 and New York in the first quarter of 1999. Each call center is expected to
poten tially employ up to 400 people and generate significant annual revenues.
This new business strategy allows BAOA to become a direct to consumer
distribution network with each potential customer being anyone who answers the
phone.
BAOA's strategy for opening call centers in empowerment zones is designed to
help inner cities and the residents of the empowerment zones, as well as provide
substantial revenues to the Company. The Company's niche in the call center
business will be enhanced by the empowerment zone benefits that include job
training subsidies, grants, loans, investment tax
<PAGE> 4
credits and energy credits. These incentives significantly reduce start up and
direct costs of operations. BAOA's call center projects substantively meet one
of the chief empowerment zone prerequisites which is to create new jobs. Each
call center will potentially create up to 400 new teleservice representative
jobs.
BAOA's long-term strategy is to evolve as a lead distributor of products and
services through direct-to-consumer telemarketing channels. BAOA intends to
distribute the products and services of other companies and professionals as
well as market and distribute its own products.
Competition
While the size and financial strength of the Company's competitors are
substantially greater than those of the Company, management believes the Company
will be able to compete effectively because it is introducing telecommunications
and computer jobs to economically depressed areas of inner cities. There is no
competition in this market.
ITEM 2 PROPERTIES
The Company leases its corporate office space located at 2635 Camino del Rio
South, Suite 210, San Diego, California. The office space consists of
approximately 2,700 square feet. The lease commenced November 1996 and will
terminate November 30, 2001.
ITEM 3 LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
The Company had no legal proceedings in 1997 and none are pending.
ITEM 4 SUBMISSION OF MATTERS TO A VOTE OF SECURITY HOLDERS
There have been no such submissions, as the Company did not have a shareholders
meeting during 1997.

PART II
ITEM 5 MARKET PRICE OF AND DIVIDENDS ON THE REGISTRANT'S COMMON EQUITY AND
RELATED STOCKHOLDERS MATTERS.
General
The Company's common stock is traded on the NNOTC Electronic Bulletin Board. The
NNOTC Electronic Bulletin Board is sponsored by the National Association of
Securities Dealers (NASD). The Electronic Bulletin Board is a network of
security dealers who buy and sell stocks. For the periods indicated, the
following table sets forth the high and low bid prices per share of common
stock. These prices represent inter-dealer quotations without retail mark-up,
mark-down, or commission and may not necessarily represent actual transactions.

</TABLE>
The Company's Board of Directors determines any payment of dividends. The Board
of Directors does not expect to authorize the payment of cash dividends in the
foreseeable future. Any future decision with respect to dividends will depend on
future earnings, operations, capital requirements and availability, restrictions
in future financing agreements, and other business and financial considerations.
As of December 31, 1997, there were approximately 286 holders of record of the
Company's Common Stock. The Board of Directors believe that the number of
beneficial owners is substantially greater than the number of record holders
because a portion of the Company's outstanding Common Stock is held of record in
broker "street names" for the benefit of individual investors.

<PAGE> 8
ITEM 7 MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Results of Operations
Significant losses in 1997 were primarily due to the lack of sales of the
Company's game products and management's decision to utilize operating funds in
order to change the Company's core business from game products to
telecommunications services and telemarketing. Management believes the Company
will have a better chance of achieving revenue and profit goals through the new
call center businesses in 1998.
The Board chose to continue to utilize the benefits of a Stock Award Plan
originally filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission in a Registration
Statement on Form S-8 in December 1996. This registration for 3,000,000 shares
of common stock was used as authorized under Rule 16(b)(3) under the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934 for selected consultants.

IMPACT OF YEAR 2000
The year 2000 issue is the result of computer programs being written using two
digits rather than four to define the applicable year. Any of the Company's
computer programs that have time-sensitive software may recognize a date using
"00" as the year 1900 rather than the year 2000. This could result in a system
failure or miscalculations causing disruption of normal business activities.
Based on a recent and ongoing assessment, the Company has determined that it
will be required to modify or replace portions of its software so that computer
systems will function properly with respect to dates in the year 2000 and
thereafter. The Company presently believes that with modifications to existing
software or conversions to new software, the Year 2000 issue will not pose
significant operational problems and will not materially affect future financial
results.
The Company has initiated communications with its significant suppliers to
determine the extent to which the Company is vulnerable to any third party's
failure to remedy their own Year 2000 issues. The Company will utilize both
internal and external resources to modify, or replace, and test software for
Year 2000 compliance. The Company currently anticipates completing the Year 2000
project within one year, but not later than September 30, 1999, which is prior
to any anticipated impact on its operating systems. The costs of the project,
which at the current time are projected to be immaterial, and the date on which
the Company believes it will complete Year 2000 modifications are based on
management's best estimates, which were derived utilizing numerous assumptions
of future events, including the continued availability of certain resources,
third party modification plans and other factors. However, there can be no
guarantee that these estimates will be achieved and actual results could
materially differ from those anticipated.

[HARLAN & BOETTGER LETTERHEAD]
INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT
TO THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS AND STOCKHOLDERS
OF BAOA, INC.:
We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of BAOA, Inc. (a California
corporation) as of December 31, 1997 and 1996 and the related statements of
operations, changes in stockholders' deficit, and cash flows for the years ended
December 31, 1997, 1996 and 1995. These financial statements are the
responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an
opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes
assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by
management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.
We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in
all material respects, the financial position of BAOA, Inc. as of December 31,
1997 and 1996, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the
years ended December 31, 1997, 1996 and 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 discussed in Note P to the
financial statements, the Company's recurring losses, decreases in working
capital, and negative cash flows from operations 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 P to the financial
statements. The financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to
the recoverability and classification of reported asset amounts or the amounts
and classification of liabilities that might result from the outcome of this
uncertainty.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
A. ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:
Organization
BAOA, Inc. (the Company) is engaged in the business of the sale and
marketing of the board game known as Black Americans of Achievement
(BAOA), the sale and marketing of a BAOA credit card, the licensing of
its trademark logo, as well as the development for production of a
television game show.
The Company has changed its primary business to the operation of call
centers in federally designated empowerment zones throughout the
United States. The Company has formed a strategic alliance with First
National Communications Network, Inc., a major telemarketing and call
center management company, to assist the Company in marketing and
managing its telemarketing call centers. The Company will open its
first call center in Atlanta, Georgia, with negotiations underway for
the opening of four additional call centers during the next two years.
The Company will continue to develop a new electronic version of its
board game "Black Americans of Achievement", however, management
believes game sales will represent a minor part of the Company's sales
in the future.
Revenue Recognition
The Company recognizes sponsorship revenue on an accrual basis as the
sponsorship fees are earned. Board game sales are recorded upon
invoicing and concurrent shipment of games.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
For purposes of the Statement of Cash Flows, the Company considers all
highly liquid investments purchased with an initial maturity of three
months or less to be cash equivalents.
Accounts Receivable
In the normal course of business, the Company extends unsecured credit
to customers located throughout the United States. Credit is extended
based on an evaluation of the customer's financial condition. The
allowance for doubtful accounts is based on management's evaluation of
outstanding accounts receivable at the end of the period. The
allowance for doubtful accounts was $0 and $100,687 at December 31,
1997 and 1996, respectively. It is reasonably possible that the
Company's estimate of allowance for doubtful accounts will change.
Inventory
Inventory is stated at lower of cost (first-in, first-out) or market.

A. ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:
(CONTINUED)
Furniture and Equipment
Furniture and equipment is stated at cost and depreciated using the
straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets,
which range from five to seven years.
The Company's policy is to evaluate the remaining lives and
recoverability in light of current conditions. It is reasonably
possible that the Company's estimate to recover the carrying amount of
furniture and equipment will change.
Organization Costs
The Company is amortizing its organization costs on the straight-line
method over a five year period.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates
and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and
liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities, and
the reported amounts of revenues and expenses. Actual results could
vary from the estimates that were used.
Income Taxes
Income taxes are provided using the liability method of accounting in
accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 109
(SFAS 109), "Accounting for Income Taxes." A deferred tax asset or
liability is recorded for net operating losses and all temporary
differences between financial and tax reporting. Deferred tax expense
(benefit) results from the net change during the year of deferred tax
assets and liabilities. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation
allowance when, in the opinion of management, it is more likely than
not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be
realized.
Loss Per Share
Net loss per share is provided in accordance with Statement of
Financial Accounting Standard No. 128 (SFAS 128) "Earnings Per Share".
Basic loss per share is computed by dividing losses available to
common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares
outstanding during the period. Diluted loss per share reflects per
share amounts that would have resulted if dilutive common stock
equivalents had been converted to common stock. As required by SFAS
128, prior year loss per share amounts have been restated. Loss per
share for the years ended December 31, 1996 and 1995 did not change as
a result of this restatement.

A. ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:
(CONTINUED)
Stock Options
During 1997, the Company adopted a method of accounting for
stock-based compensation as required by Statement of Financial
Accounting Standard No. 123 (SFAS 123) "Accounting for Stock Based
Compensation". SFAS 123 allows for two methods of valuating
stock-based compensation. The first method allows for the continuing
application of Accounting Principle Board Opinion No. 25 (APB 25) in
measuring stock-based compensation, while complying with the
disclosure requirements of SFAS 123. The second method uses an option
pricing model to value stock compensation and record as such within
the financial statements. The Company will apply APB 25, while
complying with SFAS 123 disclosure requirements (Note J).
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The carrying amount of cash approximates fair value because of the
short period to maturity. It is not practicable to estimate the fair
value of related party debt due to the uncertainty as to when the
obligations would be paid.
Reclassification
Certain 1996 and 1995 amounts have been reclassified to conform to the
1997 financial statement presentation. These reclassifications have no
effect on previously reported net loss.
Advertising
Advertising costs are generally expensed as incurred. Advertising
expenses included in sales and marketing expense were $14,432, $6,469,
and $5,531 for the years ended December 31, 1997, 1996 and 1995,
respectively.
Research and Development
Research and development costs are expensed as incurred. Research and
development expenses included in general and administrative expense
were $41,949 for the year ended December 31, 1997. There were no
research and development expenses during 1996 or 1995.

During 1997, the Company had 200,000 stock options outstanding, each
convertible into one share of common stock. These instruments were not
included in the computation of diluted earnings per share for 1997 due
to their antidilutive effects based on the net loss reported.
J. STOCK OPTIONS:
The Company granted stock options in 1997 as compensation for
services. Each option can be exercised to purchase one share of common
stock at the option price. Options that have been granted and are
outstanding generally expire one year from the date of grant and
become exercisable immediately. At December 31, 1997, a total of
200,000 options were outstanding and exercisable. Options granted in
1997 had exercise prices ranging from $.25 to $.50 per share. Stock

J. STOCK OPTIONS: (CONTINUED)
Had compensation cost for options granted in 1997 been determined
based on the fair values at the grant dates, as prescribed in SFAS
123, the Company's net loss and net loss per share would not have
changed due to the fact that the exercise price of the options was
substantially higher than the market price at the grant date.
The calculations to estimate the fair value of the options were made
using the Black - Scholes pricing model which required making
significant assumptions. These assumptions include the expected life
of the options, which was determined to be one year, the expected
volatility, which was based on fluctuations of the stock price over a
12 month period, the expected dividends, determined to be zero based
on past performance, and the risk free interest rate, which was
estimated using the bond equivalent yield of 6% at December 31, 1997.
K. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES:
Operating Leases
The Company leases office facilities and equipment under noncancelable
operating leases which expire at various dates through November 30,

operations include rent expense from operating leases of $48,689,
$35,870 and $36,564 for the years ended December 31, 1997, 1996, and

stages of development through November 1997. Additionally, pursuant to
the agreement, the Company shall pay a royalty to the developer of
$1.00 per unit sold or 12.5% of gross sales, whichever is greater, in
excess of the $50,000 advance royalty specified above. The developer
is not entitled to royalties on free or promotional copies of the
games. The agreement shall remain in effect for the life of the games
and for the payment of any unpaid royalties. As of December 31, 1997,
the advance royalty had not been paid and development of the games had
ceased pending management's decision to continue with the projects. As
of the date of this report, the games were incomplete and no further
development had been performed.
In August 1997, the Company entered into an agreement with a
telecommunications company to design, develop, set-up and manage a
completely functioning teleservice center (the "call center") for the
Company. The agreement covers a period of three years beginning August
22, 1997. The Company is to pay $50,000 in advance of work performed
plus travel expenses in advance of travel. In exchange for services,
the agreement provides for the issuance of 3,000,000 shares of the
Company's restricted common stock as follows: 1,000,000 shares upon
submission of a business plan for the initial call center, 1,000,000
shares upon delivery of a completely functioning call center, and
1,000,000 shares upon delivery of a purchase order for telemarketing
services representing collectable revenue of $2,400,000. Further, the
Company will issue an additional 1,000,000 shares upon the opening of
a second call center as well as another 1,000,000 shares when the
second call center earns an annual gross income of $900,000. The
telecommunications company will also provide ongoing management of the
telemarketing center for $20,000 per month plus 10% of the gross
telemarketing billings and Company stock and warrants to be mutually
agreed upon. In the event that the telecommunications company fails to
provide an initial call center, all rights to stock pursuant to the
agreement shall be forfeited. As of December 31, 1997 and as of the
date of this report, performance on the agreement had not begun, and,
accordingly, no common stock had been issued nor had any payments in
accordance with the agreement been made.
In October 1997, the Company entered into a three-year dealer
agreement with a long distance phone and telecommunications service
provider (the "provider"), whereby, the Company will offer the
provider's telecommunications services to customers. The terms of the
agreement provide for the Company to receive a 25% commission for
services sold by the Company subject to change by sixty day written
notice from the provider. After one year, the provider may terminate
the agreement if the Company has not submitted any new orders within
the prior six-month period, provided the Company has not billed
$25,000 for three consecutive months. The Company has not had any
activity under this agreement as of December 31, 1997 and the date of
this report.

O. FORGIVENESS OF DEBT:
During 1997, the Company recognized debt forgiveness of $140,565
relating to accrued royalties to Chelsea House and Burger King.
P. GOING CONCERN:
As shown in the financial statements, the Company has had recurring
losses from operations including a net loss of $882,679 and negative
cash flows from operations of $574,149 during the year ended December
31, 1997. Additionally, and as of December 31, 1997, the Company's
current liabilities exceeded its current assets by approximately
$1,136,745. Further, the Company does not have the ability to obtain
financing. These factors create an uncertainty as to the Company's
ability to continue as a going concern.
In 1997, the management of the Company changed the primary focus of
the business from the marketing and sale of a board game to
telemarketing. The Company used its 1997 operating resources and cash
to enable it to compete in the telemarketing call center business in
1998. After considerable analysis, management believes this will be
the best use of the Company's resources to realize profitability for
the Company's operations. The Company believes sufficient cash flows
will be generated from telemarketing for the Company to continue as a
going concern.
The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent
upon its ability in its endeavors to seek additional sources of
capital, and its attaining future profitable operations. The
accompanying financial statements do not include any adjustments that
might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going
concern.

Q. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS:
In February 1998, the Company entered into an agreement with a
telephone service provider (the "service provider"), whereby, it
received authorization to solicit distributors and end-users to
subscribe to commercial and residential telephone service plans. The
agreement has an initial term of eighteen months and shall be extended
until terminated by thirty day written notice by either party. The
agreement may be terminated early if certain performance requirements
are not met. Under the agreement, the Company is entitled to receive
monthly commissions from the service provider ranging from 13% to 25%
for varied levels of monthly billings. As of the report date, the
Company had not solicited any business, and therefore, did not receive
any commissions.
In March 1998, the Company entered into an agreement with an
investment advisor and broker (the "broker") to raise up to $600,000
in working capital through a private stock placement. As consideration
for the services to be provided by the broker, the Company will grant
1,000,000 shares of common stock to the broker as follows: one-third
of the shares for $0.001, one-third of the shares at 110% of the
Company's next arms length equity financing, and one-third of the
shares at 120% of the Company's next arms length equity financing.
Additionally, the Company will pay a commission and other expenses in
the amount of 12% of the private placement proceeds. The terms of the
agreement require full performance and funding of the private
placement by May 15, 1998. In the event of non-performance by the
specified date, the Company shall have the right to cancel and
terminate the agreement. As of the report date, no units had been
sold.
