Board of Directors and Shareholders
Moro Corporation

We have reviewed the accompanying consolidated balance sheet, statement of
operations, and statement of cash flow of Moro Corporation and consolidated
subsidiary as of June 30, 2000, and for the three-month and six-month periods
then ended. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's
management.

We conducted our review in accordance with standards established by the American
Institute of Certified Public Accountants. A review of interim financial
information consists principally of applying analytical procedures to financial
data and making inquiries of persons responsible for financial and accounting
matters. It is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance
with generally accepted auditing standards, the objective of which is the
expression of an opinion regarding the consolidated financial statements taken
as a whole. Accordingly, we do not express such an opinion.

Based on our review, we are not aware of any material modifications that should
be made to the accompanying consolidated financial statements for them to be in
conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

                                MORO CORPORATION
                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                             JUNE 30, 2000 AND 1999

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's activities have consisted primarily of
          designing, developing and producing its Cafe USA programming,
          establishing contacts and entering into agreements with potential
          advertisers and mall operators, producing and evaluating market tests
          of its programming, developing a system for delivery of programming
          into mall food courts, engaging management, employees and consultants
          for operations, including marketing, installing and operating Cafe USA
          in various mall food courts.

          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%.

                                                                               6

             NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
                             JUNE 30, 2000 AND 1999

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 six months ended June 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 Company provides an allowance for doubtful accounts, as needed,
          for accounts deemed uncollectible.

                                                                               7

                             JUNE 30, 2000 AND 1999

Note 2    Summary of significant accounting policies (continued):

          Inventory:

          Inventory is recorded at the lower of cost or market using the
          first-in, first-out (FIFO) method.

          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    Acquisitions:

          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.

                                                                               8

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 six month period ended June 30, 2000, there was a net increase in
cash of $480,883. This was attributable to the net cash provided by investing
and financing activities of $1,807,054 which offset the cash used by operating
activities of $1,326,171. As of June 30, 2000, total cash on hand was $480,833,
and working capital was $690,818, of which $494,801 was invested in inventory.

     The Company financed the recent 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.
