SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
UNAUDITED INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
The financial statements included herein have been prepared pursuant to the
rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"). The
balance sheet as of October 31, 2001; the statements of loss for the three
months and nine months ended October 31, 2001 and for the period from October
20, 2000 (inception) to October 31, 2001; the statements of stockholder's equity
(deficit) for the period from October 20, 2000 (inception) to October 31, 2001
and the statements of cash flows for the nine months ended October 31, 2001 and
for the period from October 20, 2000 (inception) to October 31, 2001, have been
prepared without audit. The balance sheet as of January 31, 2001 has been
audited by independent certified public accountants. Certain information and
footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or
omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations, although FanZ Enterprises, Inc.
(the "Company") believes that the disclosures herein are adequate to make the
information presented not misleading. It is suggested that these financial
statements and related notes be read in conjunction with the financial
statements and notes thereto for the period from October 20, 2000 (inception) to
January 31, 2001 included in this document.
In the opinion of the Company, the statements for the unaudited interim periods
presented included all adjustments that were of a normal recurring nature
necessary to present a fair statement of the financial condition and results of
operations for such interim periods. The results of operations for the interim
periods presented are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations
for the entire year.
ORGANIZATION AND BUSINESS
Fanz Enterprises, Inc. (a development stage company) is a Delaware corporation
which was formed on October 20, 2000 for the purpose of controlling and managing
a multi-car professional motorsports operation that will participate in NASCAR
sanctioned events. The Company has selected a January 31st year-end. The Company
has two wholly-owned subsidiaries, also development stage companies. Fanz
Racing, Inc. will own and manage the racing operations while Fanz Merchandising,
Inc. will own, manage, market and distribute all of the related merchandise for
the racing operations. As of October 31, 2001, all material intercompany
accounts were eliminated.
The Company is in the development stage and its activities to date have been
limited to organizational activities including developing and implementing its
business plan, hiring personnel, establishing business strategies and
formulating a strategy to raise equity.
FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
The carrying amounts of cash and notes receivable approximate fair value because
of the short-term nature of these items.

FANZ ENTERPRISES, INC.
(A DEVELOPMENT STAGE COMPANY)
SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
REVENUE RECOGNITION
Revenues are expected to be generated from a number of sources including
sponsorships, race purse winnings, race bonus opportunities and merchandise
sales. It is expected that sponsorship revenue will be recognized over the
period of the sponsorship agreement; race purse winnings and bonuses will be
recognized when receipt is assured; and merchandise sales will be recognized
upon shipment, less returns and allowances.
STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION
The Company plans to account for its stock option awards to employees and
directors under the intrinsic value based method of accounting prescribed by
Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to
Employees" ("APB 25"). Under the intrinsic value based method, compensation cost
is the excess, if any, of the quoted market price of the stock at grant date or
other measurement date over the amount the employee must pay to acquire the
stock. The Company plans to adopt the disclosure provisions of SFAS 123,
"Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation" ("SFAS 123") and disclose the pro
forma amounts of net income (loss) as if the fair value based method of
accounting had been applied.
For options awarded to all others, compensation is recognized for the fair value
of options granted in accordance with SFAS 123 and related interpretations.
INCOME TAXES
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recorded for the expected future tax
consequences of temporary differences between the tax basis of assets and
liabilities. Deferred tax assets of approximately $1,322,000 related primarily
to net operating losses and non-deductible accruals have been offset by a
valuation reserve since the utilization of this asset cannot be assured.
LOSS PER SHARE
Basic and diluted loss per common share was computed in accordance with
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 128, "Earnings Per Share." Basic
loss per common share is computed by dividing the net loss available to common
shareholders (numerator) by the weighted average number of common shares
outstanding (denominator) during the period and excludes the effects of
potentially dilutive common shares. Diluted net loss per common share gives
effect to all potentially dilutive common shares outstanding during a period.
There were no potentially dilutive common shares outstanding on October 31,
2001, thus basic and dilutive loss per common share are the same for the periods
presented.

FANZ ENTERPRISES, INC.

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
WEB SITE DEVELOPMENT COSTS
During the nine months ended October 31, 2001, the Company began development of
its web site which will be utilized to promote the Company's racing and
merchandising operations. During 2000, the Emerging Issues Task Force ("EITF")
issued EITF 00-2, Accounting for Web Site Development Costs. This EITF specifies
how an entity should account for costs incurred to develop a web site.
Costs incurred in the planning stage, regardless of whether the web site
planning activities specifically relate to software, are expensed as incurred.
Costs incurred in the planning stage include such activities as identification
of the specific goals of the web site, identification of the target audience,
determination of the functionalities, identification of necessary hardware,
identification of necessary web application and conceptualization of graphics
and content, among other things.
Costs incurred in the web site application and infrastructure development stage
and costs incurred to develop graphics are accounted for in accordance with
Statement of Position ("SOP") 98-1, Accounting for the Costs of Computer
Software Developed or Obtained for Internal Use if the web site is expected to
be utilized for internal use. Since this is the Company's intent, the
application of SOP 98-1 is appropriate. This statement, in general, requires the
capitalization of costs of developing software for internal use once the
preliminary project stage is completed and prior to the point at which the
project is substantially complete and ready for its intended use. Fees incurred
for web site hosting, which involves the payment of a specific, periodic fee to
an internet service provider in return for hosting the web site, generally are
expensed over the period of benefit.
Costs incurred during the operating stage including training, administration,
maintenance and other costs to operate an existing web site are expensed as
incurred. However, costs that provide additional functions or features to the
web site are accounted for in accordance with SOP 98-1 which requires that
certain costs relating to such upgrades be capitalized if it is probable that
they will result in added functionality.
In accordance with the above policy, the Company has capitalized $13,000 in web
site development costs for the three months ended October 31, 2001.
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 and disclosure of
contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and
the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.
Actual results could differ from those estimates.

FANZ ENTERPRISES, INC.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company
will continue as a going concern. This basis of accounting contemplates the
recovery of the Company's assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the
normal course of business. Since its inception on October 20, 2000, the Company
has been involved in organizational activities. The Company's ultimate ability
to attain profitable operations is dependent upon its obtaining adequate
capitalization to complete its development activities and implementation of its
business plan. The Company filed a registration statement on Form SB-2 (the
"Registration Statement") with the SEC which offers outside investors up to
2,500,000 common shares in a direct participation offering (the "Offering"). The
SEC declared the Registration Statement effective on August 31, 2001. Monies
raised from the Offering will be held in escrow until a minimum of 1,000,000
shares are sold. There can be no assurances as to what the ultimate net proceeds
from the Offering might be. The Offering, by its original terms, expires on May
31, 2002. In the event that the Company has not sold a minimum of 1,000,000
shares of its common stock by that date, the Company may seek to amend the
Registration Statement to extend the Offering for an additional three months
subject to federal and state approvals. In the event that the Company elects to
extend the Offering, it will notify investors of such election and advise them
that they have the choice of (i) leaving their investment in the escrow account,
or (ii) having their investment returned to them with interest.
As a result of the foregoing, these circumstances raise substantial doubt about
the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. These financial statements
do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this
uncertainty.
2. DEFERRED OFFERING COSTS
Deferred offering costs consist of professional, registration and filing fees
incurred through October 31, 2001 that are directly related to the Offering
described more fully in Note 4. If the Offering is successful, these costs will
be offset against the proceeds in stockholders' equity. If the Offering is not
successful, these costs will be expensed in full upon that determination.
3. ACCRUED EXPENSES
Accrued expenses as of October 31, 2001 primarily consist of professional fees.
4. STOCKHOLDER'S EQUITY (DEFICIT)
ISSUANCE OF COMMON STOCK
On October 20, 2000, the Company issued 100 shares of its $.01 par value stock
to Jackson Roscoe Motorsports, LLC (the "sole stockholder" or the "parent"). The
sole stockholder is owned in its entirety by two officers and directors of the
Company. As consideration for the shares issued, the Company received $1 per
share. On December 18, 2000, the Company received additional consideration for
these shares in the amount of $50,000. During the three months ended April 30,
2001, the Company received another $50,000 capital contribution from its sole
stockholder in the form of a $450,000 note receivable, $50,000 of which related
to this capital contribution and the remainder of which related to issuance of
preferred stock. This portion of the Note was satisfied in cash on February 16,
2001.
During the three months ended April 30, 2001, the Company increased its
authorization of common stock
8
FANZ ENTERPRISES, INC.
(A DEVELOPMENT STAGE COMPANY)
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
to 20,000,000 shares and affected a 100,000 to 1 split on May 15, 2001. All
share and per share data have been retroactively adjusted to reflect this split.
PREFERRED STOCK
During the three months ended April 30, 2001, the Company authorized and issued
to its sole stockholder ten thousand (10,000) shares of 10% Cumulative Preferred
Stock (the "Preferred Stock") at $40.00 per share. The par value was $0.01 per
share. The parent, as holder of the shares, is entitled to receive, at the
discretion of the independent Board of Directors, cumulative dividends at the
annual rate of 10% ($4.00 maximum) per share, in priority over any dividends
payable upon any of the Common Stock. As consideration, the Company received a
$450,000 note receivable from the sole stockholder, $400,000 of which served as
consideration for the Preferred Stock while the remainder related to an
additional capital contribution in regards to common stock previously issued.
This note was satisfied in cash in a series of payments beginning on February
16, 2001 and ending June 14, 2001.
In the event of any voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding
up of the affairs of the Company, the holders of Preferred Stock then
outstanding shall be entitled to be paid out of the assets of the Company that
are available for distribution, an amount in cash equal to $60 per share
outstanding, plus an amount in cash equal to all accrued but unpaid dividends
thereon to the date fixed for liquidation. If the assets of the Company are not
sufficient for this, then the holders of the Preferred Stock shall share ratably
in the distribution of assets.
The Company may redeem the Preferred Stock, in whole, upon the fourth
anniversary of the completion of a Qualified Public Offering ("public
offering"). However, a small percentage of these shares may be redeemed on a
quarterly basis beginning on the second anniversary of the completion of the
public offering. The redemption price is $60 per share (the "redemption
amount"). A "Qualified Public Offering" in this case is defined as a public
offering registered under the Securities Act of 1933 which ultimately results in
gross proceeds to the Company of at least $10,000,000. The holders of the
Preferred Stock will only be entitled to receive the redemption amount, and not
the amount of any accrued and unpaid dividends.
5. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTION
Effective January 1, 2001, the Company entered into a 12-month agreement for
consulting services with Stillwater Capital Advisors, LLC, a company
wholly-owned by the members of the parent company. The amount accrued at July
31, 2001 under this agreement was $437,500. The Company believes the terms of
this agreement to be at arm's length. This agreement was decreased from $750,000
to $500,000 in July, 2001. On August 15, 2001, this service agreement was
further amended such that it became due and payable upon the Company achieving
profitability as demonstrated by an annual audited financial statement
reflecting net profit for that fiscal year. Due to expected organizational
expenses, non-cash charges associated with stock options, expenses incurred as a
result of establishing the race teams and expenses associated with the Company's
infrastructure, the Company is not expected to achieve profitability, as defined
in that agreement, by the fiscal year ended January 31, 2002; therefore, the
earliest this payment could have been made by the Company would have been at the
completion of the audit for the fiscal year ended January 31, 2003. As a result,
the Company reclassified this liability from current to long-term in its
financial statements as of July 31, 2001 since the contractual obligation still
existed at that date. Ultimately however, this contract was cancelled in its
entirety on August 20, 2001. The unpaid accrual on this date of $437,500 was
reversed and contributed to capital during the three months ending October 31,
2001. See Notes 4, 6 and 7 for description of additional related party
transactions.

FANZ ENTERPRISES, INC.
(A DEVELOPMENT STAGE COMPANY)
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
6. COMMITMENTS
During the three months ended April 30, 2001, the Company entered into a letter
of intent to lease land and property to be used as its principal place of
business for annual rent of approximately $60,000 under a lease term of one year
with an option to renew at the same rate for three consecutive periods of one
year each. The commencement of this lease is contingent upon the Company's
closing of the Offering.
The Company has oral agreements with third party service providers such that if
the Offering is successful, additional fees of $125,000 will be remitted.
7. STOCK OPTIONS
During the three months ended April 30, 2001, the Company adopted two stock
option plans: the 2001 Stock Option Plan (the "Plan") and the 2001 Non-Employee
Director Stock Option Plan (the "Non-Employee Plan"). Under the terms of the
Plan, a maximum of 9% of the number of outstanding shares of the Company's
Common Stock, after giving effect to the close of the Offering, may be granted
to its officers, key employees and consultants. Options granted under this Plan
may be (a) Incentive Stock Options, (b) Non-Qualified Stock Options or (c) a
combination of the foregoing. No Incentive Stock Options may be granted to a
person who is not an employee. The option price per share of any stock option
granted under the Plan shall not be less than the fair market value of the
Common Stock at the date of the grant. In the case of an Incentive Stock Option
grant, the option price per share shall not be less than 110% of the fair market
value of the shares at the date of grant should that employee hold more than 10%
of the total combined voting power of all classes of stock of the Company, its
parent or subsidiaries at the grant date. The options shall be exercisable for a
term of not more than five years.
Under the terms of the Non-Employee Plan, options may be granted equal to a
maximum of 1% of the number of outstanding shares of the Company's Common Stock,
after giving effect to the close of the Offering. The option price shall be the
fair market value at the date of grant, and shall be exercisable for a term of
not more than five years.
10
FANZ ENTERPRISES, INC.
(A DEVELOPMENT STAGE COMPANY)
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
During the three months ended April 30, 2001, the Company granted 500,000
options to a consultant, expected to become the Company's Chief Financial
Officer, at an exercise price of $3.00 per share of which 250,000 vest on the
grant date and the remaining vest over a four year period commencing on the
first anniversary of the grant date. In accordance with FAS 123 and related
interpretations, compensation expense for the fair value of these options will
be recognized over the period in which these options are earned. The fair value
approach for valuing stock options was determined using the Black-Scholes option
pricing model given the following assumptions: risk free interest rate of 5.53%;
expected option life of 4 years; and no dividend yield or volatility. Assuming a
fair market value of $10 per share (the selling price of shares in the
Offering), the Company, therefore, incurred $247,380 and $2,559,679 of non-cash
compensation expense during the three and nine months ended October 31, 2001,
respectively and is expected to incur approximately $1,240,240 in future
periods. It is expected that future amounts will be recognized over the
four-year period from the grant date. The fair value approach to the valuation
of these options requires that the unvested shares be "marked to market" at the
end of each reporting period. As such, if the fair value of the options change
in the future, then related current and future non-cash compensation expense
will change accordingly. When and if the consultant becomes an employee, a new
measurement date will be required resulting in a remeasurement of the value of
the unearned options using the intrinsic value method. This grant is separate
and distinct from either of the stock option plans described above.
8. EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENTS
The Company and its parent are committed to an employment agreement and certain
consulting contracts to multiple key individuals. All were executed during the
three months ended April 30, 2001 and the employment agreement requires the
close of the Offering to become effective.
9. SEGMENT INFORMATION
The Company plans to adopt SFAS 131, which establishes standards for the way
that public business enterprises report information about operating segments in
their financial statements. The standard defines operating segments as
components of an enterprise about which separate financial information is
available that is evaluated regularly by the chief operating decision maker in
deciding how to allocate resources and in assessing performance.
The Company expects that it will have two reportable segments: the racing
segment which will operate the race teams and the merchandising segment, when
established, will own, manage, market and distribute related merchandise.
10. CONCENTRATION OF CREDIT RISK
Financial instruments, which potentially subject the Company to concentration of
credit risk, consist primarily of cash and notes receivable. The Company's cash
is deposited in a high quality FDIC insured financial institution, limiting the
Company's exposure to credit risk. The notes receivable are with the Company's
parent and have been substantially satisfied in due course.
11
ITEM 2. PLAN OF OPERATION
Results of Operations
For the three and nine month periods ending October 31, 2001, the Company
recorded an operating loss of $303,984 and $3,239,735, respectively. For the
period from October 20, 2000 (date of inception) through October 31, 2001,
cumulative losses totaled $3,304,710. This deficit is largely attributable to a
non-cash charge of $2,559,679 for stock options granted, with the remainder
attributed to start-up expenses and costs related to the development and
implementation of the Company's business plan. As a result of the options
granted, the Company expects to incur approximately $1,240,240 of non-cash
compensation expenses in future periods. It is expected that future amounts will
be recognized over the four year period from the grant date. The fair value
approach to the valuation of these options requires that the unvested shares be
"marked to market" at the end of each reporting period. As such, if the fair
value of the options changes in the future, then related current and future
non-cash compensation expenses will change accordingly. The Company did not
generate any revenues during this period. The Company's business plan projects
that it will continue to operate at a loss through the fiscal year ending
January 31, 2002. Further, there can be no assurance that the Company will ever
achieve profitability or that a stream of revenue can be generated and sustained
in the future.
For the current fiscal year, the Company anticipates incurring a loss as a
result of organizational expenses and non-cash charges associated with stock
options granted. The Company anticipates that until these procedures are
completed, it will not generate revenues, and may continue to operate at a loss
thereafter, depending upon the performance of the business.
Capital Expenditures
From January 31, 2001 (the Company's fiscal year end) through October 31, 2001,
the Company expended $13,000 on capital expenditures related to web site
development costs. As part of the business plan, the Company plans on starting
with one Winston Cup team and intends to have two professional motorsports race
teams competing in NASCAR sanctioned events within one year of the closing of
the Offering. A minimum of $4.5 million in capital expenditures will be required
for tools, racing equipment, motors, race cars and other equipment and the
personnel costs to recruit and employ the necessary racing personnel to
effectively establish these teams. These costs will be incurred in the first
three months after the proceeds from the Offering are received. The anticipated
capital expenditure budget may be reduced if the Company is successful in
attracting sponsorship monies for the teams.
Expenditures Related to Facilities
The Company expended no amounts on facilities for the period ended October 31,
2001. The Company's overall strategy in regards to real estate and facilities is
controlled growth with flexibility to expand as its operations develop in order
to address sponsor goals, maintain control over its operations and foster the
sharing of information amongst its organizations.
12
BASE RENT
Entity Type of Space Per Sq. Ft. (usable)
- ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Racing Industrial; sprinkled w/ loading docks (10-15% office) $3.00-$5.00
Merchandising Warehouse; sprinkled w/ loading docks (10% office) $3.00-$5.00
Management/
Administration Office (combined w/ above or free-standing) $5.00-$20.00
The Company's space requirements will also depend upon the goals of its primary
sponsors. Sponsors often desire to use racing facilities to hold business
meetings, team-building seminars and conferences. Sponsor goals and funding
commitments to provide such facilities will impact the timing of the Company's
decision to construct a new facility.
As a start-up organization, the Company's initial goals are to attempt to lease
space with maximum flexibility until such time that constructing its own
facilities can be strategically and financially justified. This strategy will
allow the Company to commence its racing operations, procure sponsorship and
begin racing. The Company currently has a letter of intent for a 6,000-square
foot racing facility and racing equipment in order to house the initial start-up
phase of its racing operations. The Company's strategy is to procure additional
leased space as teams are formed, with space requirements ranging from a minimum
of 60,000 square feet, in the event the Company forms one to two teams, up to
approximately 200,000 square feet, in the event the Company forms five race
teams. Likewise, merchandising facilities will be dependent upon the number of
teams that the Company ultimately fields. With limited merchandising projected
in the Company's first year of operation, it is anticipated that space can be
shared or subleased. Merchandising space requirements are general purpose
warehouse/distribution space and are estimated to range from 5,000 to 50,000
square feet of space depending upon the number of racing teams the Company's
merchandising operations will be servicing. As the Company procures sponsorships
and forms and stabilizes its operations, it will consider designing and building
its own facilities. The assumptions for space are as follows:
APPROXIMATE PER TEAM SPACE
REQUIREMENTS (SQUARE FEET)
Winston Cup 30,000-40,000
Busch Grand National 20,000-30,000
Craftsman Truck 20,000-25,000
The Company's ultimate goal is to develop a "campus" or a development of
multiple facilities in close proximity to one another that will house its racing
and merchandising operations, corporate headquarters as well as to house
corporate retreats for the sponsors. The Company envisions that its facilities
will contain, among other things, an observation deck overseeing the shop floor
of its racing operations, a theater area which can be utilized by its racing
teams and for
13
presentations by its sponsors, a dining area that can be utilized to entertain
existing and prospective sponsors and their customers and employees, a gift shop
offering the latest merchandising products and souvenirs, a company-wide health
and fitness facility for the drivers, crew and other employees, and eventually a
racing museum housing the Company's key assets.
Capital Resources and Liquidity
On October 31, 2001, the Company had total assets of $236,193 and stockholder's
equity of $192,569, in comparison to total assets of $146,035 and a
stockholder's deficit of $14,875 on January 31, 2001. Subsequent to January 31,
2001, the Company raised an additional $450,000 in equity through the
combination of issuance of $400,000 of preferred stock and additional capital of
$50,000 contributed by Jackson Roscoe Motorsports, LLC with respect to its
common stock, to fund additional expenses related to the Offering. The $450,000
was contributed in the form of a Demand Note, dated February 12, 2001, that has
been satisfied in cash.
To develop its business plan, the Company intends to recruit and employ a
variety of racing personnel including drivers, crewmembers, crew chiefs, engine
builders, fabricators, engineers, etc. to operate and manage its racing
operations. The recruiting and hiring of the racing personnel will begin
immediately upon raising the minimum subscription amount of $10,000,000.
Currently the Company has a consulting agreement with Michael J. Wurtsbaugh. In
exchange for the provision of consulting services, Mr. Wurtsbaugh was granted
options to purchase shares of the Company's common stock. A portion of this
grant, as set forth earlier, appears as an expense on the Company's books.
On January 1, 2001, the Company entered into an agreement with Stillwater
Capital Advisors, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, for consulting
services including, among other things, preparation and development of the
Company's business plan, development of a sophisticated financial model,
identifying key personnel and negotiating with a broker/dealer, accountants and
attorneys. J. Roe Hitchcock, the Company's Chief Executive Officer, Treasurer
and a director of FanZ Enterprises, Inc., and Frederick L. McDonald, II, the
Company's President and also a director of FanZ Enterprises, Inc., are the sole
members of Stillwater Capital Advisors, LLC. Under the agreement, consulting
services were to be provided to the Company for a period of twelve (12) months
at a flat fee of $500,000 to be paid in one lump sum payment. The $500,000
consulting fee was not due and payable until the Company had achieved
profitability as demonstrated by an annual audited financial statement
reflecting net profit for that fiscal year. The Company believes that the terms
of the consulting agreement are as favorable to it as those generally available
from unaffiliated third parties. However, in an effort to expedite the
registration process, the Company decided to rescind the agreement and on August
20, 2001 it entered into a Rescission and Mutual Release Agreement with
Stillwater Capital Advisors, LLC pursuant to which the consulting agreement was
rescinded and the Company is not obligated to pay any portion of the consulting
fee. As a result, the amount accrued as of that date, $437,500, was reversed and
contributed to capital in the third quarter ending October 31, 2001.

16
While the Company believes that the minimum proceeds from the Offering, together
with sponsorship funds of at least $2.5 million per team, will be sufficient to
satisfy its cash requirements during the twelve (12) months following the
consummation of the Offering, the foregoing budgets could be scaled back
somewhat by reducing the number of cars purchased per team, among other things,
in the event that only the minimum ($10,000,000) is raised in the Offering and
sponsorship funds are unavailable. Upon closing of the Offering, it is the
Company's intention to start with at least one team competing in the Winston Cup
series for which the Company will seek sponsors to defray the costs of starting
and operating this team. Initially, it may be difficult for the Company to
attract sponsors in light of the fact that it has no racing or merchandising
operations. This team could begin racing on a limited schedule at select venues
with or without a primary sponsor as a means of attracting a sponsor. The
Company will phase in additional teams as its budget and sponsorships will allow
with an aggressive campaign for sponsorship of the 2002 racing season with the
intention of having at least two teams racing in NASCAR sanctioned events within
one year of the closing of the Offering.
FanZ First-Year Expenses
- ------------------------
In addition to racing start-up costs, the Company will need to hire corporate
staff for FanZ Enterprises, Inc. to provide centralized human resources,
accounting, bookkeeping, travel, administrative assistance and other general
corporate services. The Company expects to have a Chief Executive Officer,
President, Chief Financial Officer, Director of Finance and a number of
assistants ranging from zero in the first month to three in the twelfth month.
The Company's first year expenses include the start-up of a Winston Cup and
Busch Series team (previously presented in the estimated Winston Cup and Busch
Series start-up budgets set forth above) and overhead expenses in the amounts
set forth below:
Employment Expense (1) $2,626,000
Motor Programs 2,872,000
Lease Expense/Depreciation (2) 1,100,000
Parts (3) 1,188,500
Research & Development 265,000
Travel Expenses 1,246,500
NASCAR Fees & Insurance 76,000
Repairs & Maintenance (4) 470,000
Utilities (5) 37,000
Tooling & Supplies 282,000
Miscellaneous 66,000
-----------
$10,229,000
NOTES:
(1) The Employment Expense is for the entire racing staff of the Busch
Series and Winston Cup teams (at the end of the first year that
represents 20 people and two drivers). The driver compensation assumes
a share of the race purse winnings. The race purse winnings assume that
we will participate and qualify in most of the races in each schedule.
17
(2) Represents the amortization of the capital expenditures. The engines
and cars are assumed to have relatively short valuable lives (2 years)
while the shock dynometers have relatively long lives (15 years). No
distinction is made for whether an item is leased or capitalized.
(3) Parts includes: Tires & Wheels, Gears & Transmissions, and Raw
Materials & Sheet Metal.
(4) Repairs & Maintenance represent the operating expenses related to
maintaining the equipment and the cars and motors.
(5) Utilities includes waste & garbage disposal.
Merchandising Operations (Start-up)
- -----------------------------------
In order to pursue the Company's merchandising operations it will need to hire
management as well as a merchandising, marketing and operations staff. The
Company's merchandising operations will initially be dependent on its race teams
becoming operational and obtaining sponsorship for each of the teams. Upon the
successful launch of its race teams, the Company will need to engage a
merchandising staff to develop and market products supporting its race teams and
related sponsors. This includes product development and sourcing, marketing the
products and race teams through various distribution channels including
trackside promotional merchandise trailers and promotional events such as "Show
Cars," which are replicas of race cars in order to draw fans to a sponsor's
place of business. The Company expects to engage in each of these activities on
a limited basis until it is fully operational at an estimated expense of
approximately $600,000. The Company expects to fully develop its merchandising
operations during the first full racing season.
Summary
- -------
The Company believes that the proceeds from the minimum subscription of the
Offering, together with projected cash flows from operations (including
sponsorship monies of just $5 million for two teams), will be sufficient to
satisfy contemplated cash requirements for its initial racing and merchandising
operations for at least twelve (12) months from the closing of the Offering. If
it is unable to obtain sponsorship funds, the Company will scale back its
operations so that the proceeds are sufficient to satisfy the Company's cash
requirements during the first twelve (12) months of operation. In the event that
plans change, assumptions prove to be inaccurate, or if the proceeds of the
Offering prove to be insufficient to fund operations and fully implement the
Company's business plan, it could be required to seek additional financing from
sources not currently anticipated. The Company has no current commitments or
arrangements with respect to, or immediate sources of, additional financing and
it is not anticipated that any existing stockholders or lenders will provide any
portion of future financing. Additionally, no assurances can be given that any
additional financing, when needed, will be available or available on acceptable
terms. Any inability to obtain additional financing when required could have a
material adverse effect on the Company's operations, including requiring it to
curtail some of its business initiatives.
