NOTE 1 DESCRIPTION OF THE BUSINESS

              Moro Corporation,  formerly Food Court Entertainment Network, Inc.
              (the "Company"), is a Delaware corporation, which was incorporated
              on February  12,  1992.  The  Company  changed its name on June 7,
              1999.  The Company's  plan was to establish a national  television
              network to broadcast a high quality television program called Cafe
              USA,  specifically  to large,  enclosed  shopping mall food courts
              across the United States.

              The  Company,  which had been a  development  stage  company,  was
              unable to market  its Cafe USA  network to  advertisers,  incurred
              substantial losses and was unable to obtain additional  financing.
              Accordingly,  the Company,  while maintaining the operation of its
              Cafe USA network in twenty malls and  continuing to supply updated
              programming  to the malls each week,  sought a  purchaser  for its
              assets. In July 1998, the assets and operating leases were sold to
              Prime Spot Media U.S.A. for $422,000. In connection therewith, the
              Company has written down the carrying  value of its assets subject
              to the sales agreement to their selling price and has also written
              off  certain  other  assets  and has  accrued a  liability  for an
              obligation under an existing employment agreement.

              On June 24, 1998, the Board of Directors adopted a resolution that
              the  corporation  file a petition for relief  under  Chapter 11 of
              Title II of the United  States  Code (the  Bankruptcy  Code).  The
              voluntary petition was subsequently filed on August 13, 1998.

              On May 3,  1999 (the  "Confirmation  Date"),  the U.S.  Bankruptcy
              Court  confirmed  the  Company's  Plan  of   Reorganization   (the
              "Reorganization"),   and  the  Company  emerged  from  bankruptcy.
              Pursuant to the Reorganization,  on such date certain indebtedness
              of the  Company was  canceled in exchange  for cash and new equity
              interests.

              Holders  of  the  Company's  shares  before  the  confirmation  of
              reorganization received 10% of the shares in the emerging entity.

              The  Company's  creditors  received all of the  Company's net cash
              assets,  5% of the Company  stock in the emerging  entity,  plus a
              total of $50,000 cash, and a note payable of $50,000 plus interest
              of 5%.

              At the close of business on March 31, 2000, the Company purchased
              substantially all of the operating assets of J.M. Ahle Co., Inc.,
              a New Jersey corporation ("Ahle") for cash. Ahle is a distributor
              of reinforcing steel to contractors and subcontractors for use in
              the construction of highways, airports, bridges, treatment
              facilities, schools, public facilities, industrial and commercial
              buildings, and other structures.

NOTE 2 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

              Basis of presentations

              The accompanying unaudited financial statements have been prepared
              in accordance with generally  accepted  accounting  principles for
              interim  financial  information and with the instructions for Form
              10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation  S-X.  Accordingly,  they do not
              include all of the information and footnotes required by generally
              accepted accounting  principles for complete financial statements.
              In the  opinion of  management,  all  adjustments  (consisting  of
              normal  recurring  accruals)   considered  necessary  for  a  fair
              presentation  have been included.  Operating  results for the nine
              months ended September 30, 2000 are not necessarily  indicative of
              the results that may be expected  for the year ended  December 31,
              2000.  The  unaudited  financial  statements  should  be  read  in
              conjunction  with the financial  statements and footnotes  thereto
              included in the Company's  annual report on Form 10-K for the year
              ended December 31, 1999.

              The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial
              statements include the accounts of J.M. Ahle Co., Inc. (100%
              owned). See Note 3. All intercompany transactions have been
              eliminated in consolidation.

              Fresh start reporting

              As of April 30, 1999, the Company adopted Fresh Start Reporting in
              accordance with the American Institute of Certified Public
              Accountant's Statement of Position 90-7 "Financial Reporting by
              Entities in Reorganization under the Bankruptcy Code", ("SOP
              90-7"). Fresh Start Reporting resulted in material changes to the
              Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet, including valuation of
              assets, intangible assets (including goodwill) and liabilities at
              fair market value and valuation of equity based on the appraised
              reorganization value of the ongoing business.

              Cash and cash equivalents

              For purposes of reporting  cash flows,  the Company  considers all
              cash accounts, which are not subject to withdrawal restrictions or
              penalties,  and  certificates of deposit and commercial paper with
              original  maturities  of 90  days  or  less  to be  cash  or  cash
              equivalents.

              Accounts receivable

              The  allowance  for  doubtful  accounts  is based on  management's
              evaluation of  outstanding  accounts  receivable at the end of the
              year. No allowance for doubtful accounts has been provided,  since
              management believes all accounts are collectable.

              Inventory

              Inventory is recorded at the lower of cost or market using the
              first-in, first-out (FIFO) method. As of September 30, 2000,
              inventories consist of raw materials totaling $515,708.

NOTE 2 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)


              Equipment and depreciation

              Property  and  equipment  are  carried  at cost.  Depreciation  is
              calculated  using the  straight-line  method over their  estimated
              useful lives of seven years.

              Revenue recognition

              Revenue  from  product  sales  is  recognized   upon  shipment  to
              customers.  Provisions for discounts and rebates to customers, and
              returns and other  adjustments are provided for in the same period
              the related sales are recorded.

              Income taxes

              Income  taxes are  provided  for the tax  effects of  transactions
              reported  in  the  financial   statements  and  consist  of  taxes
              currently due plus deferred taxes related primarily to differences
              between the basis of balance  sheet items for financial and income
              tax  reporting.  There is no  difference  between  the  basis  for
              financial and income tax reporting,  thus no deferred tax asset or
              liability was recorded.

NOTE 3 ACQUISITION

              At the close of business on March 31, 2000, the Company purchased
              substantially all of the operating assets of J.M. Ahle Co., Inc.,
              a New Jersey corporation ("Ahle") for cash. Ahle is a distributor
              of reinforcing steel to contractors and subcontractors for use in
              the construction of highways, airports, bridges, treatment
              facilities, schools, public facilities, industrial and commercial
              buildings, and other structures.

              As part of the transaction,  the Company assumed substantially all
              of the known  operating  liabilities  of Ahle.  In  addition,  the
              Company  acquired the assets of Ahle for their net book value plus
              $100,000,  all as set forth in the Asset Purchase  Agreement.  The
              purchase price paid by the Company was $1,406,212.

              The following unaudited pro forma consolidated results of
              operations are presented as if the acquisition of Ahle had been
              made at the beginning of the periods presented. The unaudited pro
              forma information is not necessarily indicative of the results of
              operations that would have occurred had the purchase been made at
              the beginning of the periods presented or the future results of
              the combined operations.

NOTE 7 COMMON STOCK

              On March 31, 2000, the Company sold 571,429 shares of common stock
              for $.35 per share for a total of $200,000 and issued 28,571
              shares at $.35 per share in exchange for legal services rendered
              to the Company.

              On August 1, 2000,  the Company sold 50,000 units each  consisting
              of one share of common stock and two  warrants to purchase  common
              stock at $.75 per  share.  Each unit was sold for $.50 per  share.
              The common  stock was recorded at $.495 per share and the warrants
              at $.005 per share. The warrants expire on July 31, 2003.

              The Company's principal  stockholder  contributed $205,750 of cash
              as additional  paid-in  capital.  No  additional  shares of common
              stock were issued in connection with this transaction.

NOTE 8 INCENTIVE STOCK OPTION PLAN

              In 2000, the Company  established  an incentive  stock option plan
              (the  Plan)  and  presently  has  reserved  300,000  shares of the
              Company's  common  stock for  issuance  under  the  Plan.  Options
              granted  pursuant  to  the  Plan  and  contractual  agreements  at
              September  30, 2000 were 60,000 and those  options were granted to
              key employees.  Exercise price is $.75 per common share,  and vest
              over five years.  All  issuances  were  granted at the fair market
              value of the  Company's  common stock at time of grant.  Since the
              Company accounts for its options under APB No. 25, no compensation
              expense was recognized.

              The proforma net increase of the options based on Statement on
              Financial Accounting Standard No. 123 for the three and nine month
              periods ended September 30, 2000 did not significantly differ from
              net income as presented using Black-Scholes methodology with an
              interest rate of 5.6% and 25% volatility.

revenues of $5,234,666, gross profit of $1,649,640, net income of $212,765, and
earnings per share of $.04. All of the revenues for the nine months ended
September 30, 2000 were attributable to the Company's operating subsidiary, J.M.
Ahle Co., Inc. ("Ahle") which was acquired by the Company as of April 1, 2000.

Plan of Operations

         The Company engages in the identification, evaluation and investigation
of prospective business opportunities, and if believed warranted, to acquire
such businesses. As of April 1, 2000, the Company acquired substantially all of
the operating assets of Ahle, a distributor of reinforcing steel to the
construction industry. The Company intends to expand the business of Ahle and to
continue to evaluate and, if appropriate, pursue other potential business
acquisitions.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

         For the nine month period ended September 30, 2000, there was a net
increase in cash of $339,043. This was attributable to the net cash provided by
investing and financing activities of $161,529 and the cash provided by
operating activities of $177,514. As of September 30, 2000, total cash on hand
was $339,043, and working capital was $755,901, of which $515,708 was invested
in inventory.

         The Company financed the purchase of Ahle through a combination of bank
financing, loans and capital contributions from its principal stockholder, and
sales of equity securities of the Company. The Company intends to finance the
operations of Ahle through use of the bank line of credit as well as from funds
generated by the operations of Ahle. The Company believes these financial
resources are adequate to fund the current level of operations.
