          ---------------------

          On October 7, 2002, the Board of Directors of Host America
          Corporation (the "Registrant") approved a change in the
          Registrant's fiscal year end to June 30. The Board of Directors
          determined that the June 30 fiscal year end is more appropriate
          in light of the Registrant's increasingly diversified
          operations.  The Registrant's Form 10-KSB for the year ended
          June 2002 will reflect this change in fiscal year end.
