ITEM 2
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with the
Company's unaudited financial statements and the related notes thereto
included elsewhere herein.
General
The Company's revenues are derived from the service of seated, fully clothed
back rubs and the sale of stress related products. The Company began
operations in August, 1993, and opened its first store for business in
October, 1993. As of September 30, 1997, the Company has ten retail stores in
operations and two franchised store locations.
The Company's registration statement to offer 270,000 shares of Series B
convertible Preferred Stock, which was filed on February 5, 1997, was canceled
in the Quarter ended June 30, 1997. The cancellation of the Preferred Stock
offering has severely hampered the Company's ability to expand its business
and has significant affect on its future operating results since additional
funds had not been raised during the period ended September 30, 1997.
Management evaluated other financial possibilities, and identified a merger
candidate. The merger took place in October 1997. See "Subsequent Events"
In addition, an important part of the Company's business plan was an
aggressive store and franchise growth strategy. The proposed offering of
Preferred Stock was an essential element to implement this business plan and,
therefore, any Company expansion has been canceled or put on hold. The failure
to open new stores and franchised operations could have a material adverse
impact on the Company's future sales and operations. Since the merger
management is reevaluating the timing of future expansion, contingent on the
availability of financing. However, no assurance can be given that the Company
will be successful in obtain such financing.
Management is also evaluating store level performance of its existing
locations to isolate and possibly close unprofitable locations. As of
September 30, 1997, the Company closed three locations due to poor performance
and continued losses. The Company is also evaluating the possibility of
franchising one of its existing locations to raise cash and is in preliminary
discussions with several parties. There can be no assurance that the Company
will be successful in identifying potential franchisees and selling existing
locations.
Subsequent to September 30, 1997, the Company has entered into negations with
two potential franchisee, whose proposed locations would be located outside
the state of New York.
Results of Operations
The Company is in the development stage and has not had significant revenues
since the commencement of its retail store operations in October 1993. From
this time through September 30, 1997, the Company has generated cumulative
revenue of $7,907,206 while incurring a cumulative loss of $8,626,055. The
losses to date have been primarily associated with the Company's establishment
of a corporate and administrative infrastructure to position itself to open
additional retail stores and expend its franchise operations. For the nine
month period ended September 30, 1997, retail store and franchise operations
continue to reflect losses although overall stores opened more than one year
have shown increased sales. In addition, the Company expects to incur
additional operating losses for the next six months and possibly longer.
page 9
<PAGE>
Results of Operations - cont'd
The Company presently sells services in the form of its back rub, and product,
in the form of a variety of massage and stress reduction products, in its
retail stores. Since inception sales of services have accounted for 74% of
total revenue, products for 24% and the remaining 2% from other sources. Since
the Company is still a development stage enterprise, it is not clear whether
these percentages are indicative of future ratios in a larger operation.
Three month period ended September 30, 1997 compared to three month period
ended September 30, 1996 and nine month period ended September 30, 1997
compared to the nine month period ended September 30, 1996 results are
discussed as follows:
For the three months ended September 30, 1997, revenues from services and
products at the Company's stores increased 4.5% to $808,062 from the
corresponding 1996 period. This increase was mainly attributed to increased
traffic and the opening of additional stores as compared to the corresponding
1996 period. Operating expenses were $1,276,942 for the three month period
ended September 30, 1997 as compared to $1,339,065 for the same period in the
prior year an decrease of 4.6%. This decrease was primarily due to the
reduction of corporate overhead. Of these amounts, approximately $305,625 was
related to corporate overhead expenses and $830,287 to store and franchise
level operations for the three month period ended September 30, 1997. No
provision for income taxes was required during either period to the Company's
incurrence of net operating losses.
For the nine months ended September 30, 1997, revenues from services and
products at the Company's stores increased 52% to $2,845,956 from the
corresponding 1996 period. This increase was mainly attributed to increase
traffic and the opening of additional stores as compared to the corresponding
1996 period. Operating expenses were $4,243,577 for the nine month period
ended September 30, 1997 as compared to $3,597,389 for the same period in the
prior year, an increase of 18%. This increase was primarily due to the
development of a management team, operational systems, marketing and design
plans in the attempted implementation of the Company's expansion plans. Of
these amounts, approximately $1,355,547 was related to corporate overhead
expenses and $2,179,347 to store and franchise level operations for the nine
month period ended September 30, 1997. No provision for income taxes was
required during either period due to the Company's incurrence of net operating
losses.
During the next six months general and administrative expenses are expected to
decrease as management streamlines operations of the existing corporate owned
stores. Other expense items such as advertising and promotion, salaries and
wages, cost of products, however, are related to retail operations themselves
and their relative percentages to total revenue are likely to remain fairly
constant in the near term but should decrease as the Company streamlines
operations and begins to sell some corporate owned stores. However, no
assurance can be given that the Company will be able to decrease its expense
levels to support existing operations or that the Company can sell corporate
owned stores to potential franchisees.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
The Company had negative working capital of $774,918 as of September 30, 1997,
compared with working capital of $1,377,331 as of September 30, 1996. The
decrease is primarily due to amounts spent on property, equipment and
leasehold improvements to fund the Company's initial thirteen stores and
amounts spent on operations in the development of a corporate infrastructure
in anticipation of the Company's growth strategy.
page 10
<PAGE>
Results of Operations - cont'd
From inception to September 30, 1997, the Company has used cash for operating
activities of $5,753,613 and spent an additional $1,591,423 for the purchase
of property, equipment, purchase leases, leasehold improvements and
investments. These expenditures have been offset by net cash provided by
financing activities, principally from the Company's October, 1993 private
placement of common stock, aggregating $870,00, Bridge notes and short-term
financing in the principal amount of $867,667, the Company's March 1995 public
offering of common stock resulting in the net proceeds of approximately
$5,127,732 and the issuance of common stock to warrant and option holders of
approximately $1,184,784. See "Statement of Cash Flows" included in the
Company's unaudited financial statements.
Inasmuch as the Company continues to have a high level of operating expenses,
the Company anticipates that losses will continue for at least the next six
months and until such time, if ever, as the Company is able to generate
significant revenue or achieve profitable operations. As a result, in their
report of the Company's Financial Statements as of December 31, 1996, the
Company's independent certified public accountants have included an
explanatory paragraph that describes factors raising substantial doubt about
the Company's ability to continue as a going concern.
Subsequent Events
On September 30, 1997 the Company entered into a Securities Exchange Agreement
(the "Securities Exchange Agreement"), to acquire (the "Acquisition") 100% of
the issued and outstanding common stock of Caribsun from Ascot International
Corp. ("Ascot"). On October 16, 1997 the Securities and Exchange Agreement was
amended and the Company initially issued 11,000,000 share of its Common Stock
to Ascot in exchange for all of the outstanding shares of Caribsun's Common
Stock. Under the terms of the Securities Exchanges Agreement, the Company will
issue up to a maximum of 17,097,419 shares in exchange of Caribsun. The final
number of shares may be reduced to the extent the audited net worth of
Caribsun at October 15, 1997 is less than $4.5 million, the audit of Caribsun
balance sheet is not delivered by Ascot prior to November 15, 1997, or if
Ascot does not provide at least $150,000 of financing to the Company before
November 15, 1997. The balance of the shares due to Ascot will be issued
following shareholder approval of a proposal to amend the Company's
certificate of incorporation to increase the Company's authorized capital.
As of November 13, 1997 $100,000 of the $150,000 of financing has been
provided to the Company.
Forward-Looking Statements. This report contains certain forward-looking
statements that are based on current expectations. In light of the important
factors that can materially affect results, including those set forth above
and elsewhere in this report, the inclusion of forward-looking information
herein should not be regarded as a representation by the Company or any other
person that the objectives or plans of the Company will be achieved. The
Company may encounter competitive, financial and business challenges making it
more difficult than expected to continue to develop its stores, franchises and
real estate projects; necessary financing may not be available or may only be
available upon onerous terms; competitive conditions within the industry may
change adversely; the Company may be unable to retain existing key management
personnel; the Company's forecasts may not accurately anticipate market
demand; and there may be other material adverse changes in the Company's
operations or business. Certain important factors affecting the
forward-looking statements made herein include, but are not limited to (i)
accurately forecasting capital expenditures; and (ii) obtaining new sources of
external financing. Assumptions relating to budgeting, marketing, and other
management decisions are subjective in many respects and thus susceptible to
interpretations and periodic revision based on actual experience and business
developments, the impact of which may cause the Company to alter its capital
expenditure or other budgets, which may in turn affect the Company's financial
position and results of operations.

PART II
OTHER INFORMATION
ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
-----------------
The Company is a defendant in a landlord tenant action entitled
Fashion Mall Partners I.P. v. The Great American BackRub Store, Inc. (Civil
Court of White Plains, State of New York) in which the landlord is seeking
past due rent of $228,156.63 and possession of the premises. The Company
believes it has counter-claims against the landlord relating to the condition
of the premises and its tenancy and has made an offer to settle the action.
The full amount of the rent has been accrued although the Company has been
making partial payments to the landlord, accordingly the settlement, if
accepted, will not materially effect the Company's results of operations.
The Company is also party to several claims of vendors which are not
expected to have a material effect on the Company's operations.
