RISK FACTORS In addition to the other information in this prospectus, the following risk factors should be considered carefully in evaluating our business before purchasing any of our common stock. A purchase of our common stock is speculative in nature and involves a lot of risks. Any person who cannot lose the entire amount of his investment should not purchase our common stock. Risks related to our business: We have a limited operating history upon which an evaluation of our prospects can be made. We were incorporated in June 2001. Our lack of operating history makes an evaluation of our business and prospects very difficult. Our prospects must be considered speculative, considering the risks, expenses, and difficulties frequently encountered in the establishment of a new business. We cannot be certain that our business will be successful or that we will generate significant revenues. 4 We have incurred a net loss since inception and expect to incur net losses for the foreseeable future. As of June 30, 2001, our losses since inception were approximately $2,897. We expect to incur significant operating and capital expenditures and, as a result, we expect significant net losses in the future. We will need to generate significant revenues to achieve and maintain profitability. We may not be able to generate sufficient revenues to achieve profitable operations. We may not be able to further implement our business strategy unless sufficient funds are raised in this offering, which could prevent us from becoming profitable. We depend on the proceeds of this offering in order to further develop our business. We may not realize sufficient proceeds to complete further development costs, or to provide adequate cash flow for planned marketing expenses. Our inability to raise sufficient funds in this offering may significantly hinder our growth. If we fail to raise sufficient funds in this offering, investors may lose their entire cash investment. Our ability to succeed is uncertain because we currently have limited sources of revenue and minimal marketing activities due to the lack of significant revenues. Therefore, investors may lose all or part of their investment, if we do not raise funds in this offering or generate revenues. We have not yet engaged in any significant marketing of our products and services. Our marketing activities are significantly limited and, to pay for more sophisticated marketing activities, we need to raise funds in this offering or generate revenues. Our inability to raise sufficient funds in this offering or generate revenues may significantly hinder our ability to market our products and services. We face intense competition in the recreational boating industry and may not have adequate resources to market our products in order to compete successfully. We operate in a highly competitive environment. In addition to facing competition generally from non-boating recreation businesses seeking to attract discretionary spending dollars, the recreational boat and yacht charter industry is highly fragmented, resulting in intense competition for customers and suitable retail locations, particularly on or near waterways. Competition increases during periods of stagnant economic growth, such as currently exists. We compete primarily with single-location boat dealers and, with respect to sales of marine parts, accessories, services and equipment, with national specialty marine parts and accessories stores, catalog retailers, sporting goods stores, and mass merchants. Many of these competitors have greater financial resources than we have, enabling them to finance acquisition and development opportunities, to pay higher prices for the same opportunities or to develop and support their own operations. In addition, many of these companies can offer bundled, value-added or additional services not provided by us, and may have greater name recognition. Our ability to compete effectively will be hindered unless we raise sufficient funds in this offering. Problems with third-party suppliers could interrupt our operations. We purchase parts and equipment and contract for services from third parties. Therefore, we are subject to the following risks: o Delays in shipments; o Work stoppages; and o Termination of supply agreements. The occurrence of any of these events or the loss of any supplier could interrupt our operations until alternative supply arrangements are made. We cannot assure you that we will be able to obtain parts or equipment from other suppliers in sufficient quantities to meet our near-term schedules or on substantially similar terms as our current arrangements. In addition, parts or equipment obtained from alternative sources may not meet customer preferences. 5 We may not be able to increase the size of our operations because the boating industry has been stagnant during recent years. The recreational boating industry has experienced stagnant overall revenue growth over the last 10 to 15 years. Consumer spending patterns, federal tax policies, and the cost and availability of fuel impact overall boat purchases, especially luxury, high-end yachts. We believe that the lack of increase in overall boat purchases has resulted from increased competition from other recreational activities, perceived hassles of boat ownership, and relatively poor customer service and education throughout the retail boat industry. The lack of industry growth will hinder our ability to grow our operations. Our operations depend upon a number of factors relating to or affecting consumer spending for luxury goods and services, such as recreational boats or yacht charters. Unfavorable local, regional, or national economic developments or uncertainties regarding future economic prospects could reduce consumer spending in the markets we serve. Consumer spending on luxury goods and services also may decline as a result of lower consumer confidence levels, even if prevailing economic conditions are favorable. In an economic downturn, consumer discretionary spending levels generally decline, at times resulting in disproportionately large reductions in the sale of luxury goods and services. We may be unable to maintain our profitability during any period of adverse economic conditions or low consumer confidence. In addition, changes in federal and state tax laws, such as an imposition of luxury taxes on new boat purchases, also influence consumers' decisions to purchase products we offer and could have a negative effect on our sales. Seasonality and weather conditions impact our operations. Therefore, our results of operations may vary significantly from quarter to quarter. Our business, as well as the entire recreational boating industry, is highly seasonal, with seasonality varying in different geographic markets. We expect to realize significantly lower sales and operations in winter months in climates that are characterized by cold temperatures or severe weather. However, we anticipate activity to generally fluctuate with seasonal changes. Our business could become substantially more seasonal as we expand operations into colder regions of the United States. In addition, weather conditions adversely impact our operating results. For example, drought conditions, reduced rainfall levels, and excessive rain may force boating areas to close or render boating dangerous or inconvenient, thereby curtailing customer demand for our products. In addition, unseasonably cool weather and prolonged winter conditions may lead to shorter selling seasons in certain locations. Hurricanes and other storms could result in the disruption of our proposed Caribbean operations or damage to our proposed boat inventories and facilities. As a result, our operating results in some future quarters could be below our expectations. Compliance with environmental regulations may increase our costs of operations. Our business or that of our subcontractors may involve the use, handling, storage, and contracting for recycling or disposal of hazardous or toxic substances or wastes, including environmentally sensitive materials, such as motor oil, waste motor oil and filters, transmission fluid, antifreeze, freon, waste paint and lacquer thinner, batteries, solvents, lubricants, degreasing agents, gasoline, and diesel fuels. Accordingly, we or our subcontractors could be subject to laws, ordinances, and regulations governing investigation and remediation of contamination at facilities we operate or to which we send hazardous or toxic substances or wastes for treatment, recycling, or disposal. In particular, the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act, or CERCLA or Superfund, imposes joint, strict, and several liability on: o owners or operators of facilities at, from, or to which a release of hazardous substances has occurred; o parties who generated hazardous substances that were released at such facilities; and o parties who transported or arranged for the transportation of hazardous substances to such facilities. A majority of states have adopted Superfund statutes comparable to and, in some cases, more stringent than CERCLA. If we were to be found to be a responsible party under CERCLA or a similar state statute, we could be held liable for all investigative and remedial costs associated with addressing such contamination. In addition, claims alleging personal injury or property damage may be brought against us as a result of alleged exposure to hazardous substances resulting from our operations. In addition, certain of our retail locations are located on waterways that are subject to federal or state laws regulating navigable waters, including oil pollution prevention, fish and wildlife, and other matters. 6 Fuel price increases or supply shortages may increase our costs of operations, which will reduce our profitability. Diesel or gasoline engines power some of the recreational boats we charter or service. Consequently, a significant increase in the price or tax on the sale of fuel on a regional or national basis or an interruption in the supply could significantly increase our costs of operations and therefore reduce our profitability. At various times in the past, diesel or gasoline fuel has been difficult to obtain. The supply of fuels may be interrupted, rationing may be imposed, or the price of or tax on fuels may significantly increase in the future. We anticipate that we will depend on a limited number of customers. Therefore, the loss of any one customer may significantly reduce our revenues. Because we deal in high-end luxury yacht sales, charters and servicing, we serve a limited number of customers. Any termination of a contract for services or yacht purchase, or material curtailment of yacht deliveries by a customer, including reductions as a result of economic or competitive pressures, would reduce our revenues and profitability. We cannot guaranty that we will retain any of our customers for a significant period of time. We anticipate that we may need to raise additional capital to market our products and services. Our failure to raise additional capital will significantly affect our ability to fund our proposed marketing activities. To market our products and services, we may be required to raise additional funds. We do not know if we will be able to acquire additional financing at commercially reasonable rates. We anticipate that we will spend a lot of funds on the marketing and promotion of our products and services. Our failure to obtain additional funds would significantly limit or eliminate our ability to fund our sales and marketing activities. We anticipate that we may seek additional funding through public or private sales of our securities. That could include equity securities, or through commercial or private financing arrangements. Adequate funds may not be available when needed or on terms acceptable to us. In the event that we are not able to obtain additional funding on a timely basis, we may be required to limit any proposed operations or eliminate certain or all of our marketing programs. Risks related to owning our common stock: Our existing shareholders have substantial influence over our operations and can significantly influence matters requiring shareholder approval. Mitch Keeler and Melissa Day, each of whom is one of our officers and directors, will beneficially own approximately 49% of our common stock following the completion of this offering if all of the shares of are sold, or approximately 56% if two thirds of the offered shares are sold. As a result, they will have the ability to control or significantly influence all matters requiring approval by our shareholders, including the election and removal of directors, approval of significant corporate transactions and the ability to control the decision of whether a change in control will occur. We may not realize sufficient proceeds from this offering to implement our business plan, as we are offering shares in a direct public offering, rather then using the experience of a broker-dealer. We are offering shares in a direct public offering. No individual, firm, or corporation has agreed to purchase any of the offered Shares. We cannot guaranty that any or all of the shares will be sold. We do not plan to use a broker-dealer, even though a broker-dealer may have more experience, resources or contacts to more effectively achieve the sale of shares. A delay in the sale of the shares in this offering can be expected to cause a similar delay in the implementation of our business plan. 7 We arbitrarily determined the offering price of the shares of common stock. Therefore, investors may lose all or part of their investment if the offering price is higher than the current market value of the offered shares. The offering price of the shares of common stock being offered by us has been determined primarily by our capital requirements and has no relationship to any established criteria of value, such as book value or earnings per share. Additionally, because we have no significant operating history and have only generated minimal revenues to date, the price of the shares of common stock is not based on past earnings, nor is the price of the shares indicative of current market value for the assets owned by us. Investors could lose all or a part of their investment if the offering price has been arbitrarily set too high. Even if a public trading market develops for our common stock, the shares may not attain market values commensurate with the offering price. Because we may be subject to the "penny stock" rules, the level of trading activity in our stock may be reduced which may make it difficult for investors to sell their shares. Broker-dealer practices in connection with transactions in "penny stocks" are regulated by certain penny stock rules adopted by the Securities and Exchange Commission. Penny stocks, like shares of our common stock, generally are equity securities with a price of less than $5.00, other than securities registered on certain national securities exchanges or quoted on Nasdaq. The penny stock rules require a broker-dealer, prior to a transaction in a penny stock not otherwise exempt from the rules, to deliver a standardized risk disclosure document that provides information about penny stocks and the nature and level of risks in the penny stock market. The broker-dealer also must provide the customer with current bid and offer quotations for the penny stock, the compensation of the broker-dealer and its salesperson in the transaction, and, if the broker-dealer is the sole market maker, the broker-dealer must disclose this fact and the broker-dealer's presumed control over the market, and monthly account statements showing the market value of each penny stock held in the customer's account. In addition, broker-dealers who sell these securities to persons other than established customers and "accredited investors" must make a special written determination that the penny stock is a suitable investment for the purchaser and receive the purchaser's written agreement to the transaction. Consequently, these requirements may have the effect of reducing the level of trading activity, if any, in the secondary market for a security subject to the penny stock rules, and investors in our common stock may find it difficult to sell their shares. We lack a public market for shares of our common stock, which may make it difficult for investors to sell their shares. There is no public market for shares of our common stock. We cannot guaranty that an active public market will develop or be sustained. Therefore, investors may not be able to find purchasers for their shares of our common stock. Should there develop a significant market for our shares, the market price for those shares may be significantly affected by such factors as our financial results and introduction of new products and services. Factors such as announcements of new services by us or our competitors and quarter-to-quarter variations in our results of operations, as well as market conditions in our sector may have a significant impact on the market price of our shares. Further, the stock market has experienced extreme volatility that has particularly affected the market prices of stock of many companies and that often has been unrelated or disproportionate to the operating performance of those companies. Investment in our common stock is highly speculative and purchasers may lose their entire investment. Any person who cannot afford the loss of his or her entire purchase price for the offered shares should not purchase of the offered shares because such a purchase is highly speculative and involves significant risks. A purchase of the offered shares would be unsuitable for a person who cannot afford to lose his or her entire purchase price for the offered shares. Our business objectives must also be considered speculative, and we cannot guaranty that we will satisfy those objectives. Purchasers of the offered shares may not realize any return on their purchase of the offered shares. Purchasers may lose their investments in us completely. 8 Information in this prospectus contains "forward looking statements" which can be identified by the use of forward-looking words such as "believes", "estimates", "could", "possibly", "probably", "anticipates", "estimates", "projects", "expects", "may", "will", or "should" or other variations or similar words. No assurances can be given that the future results anticipated by the forward-looking statements will be achieved. The following matters constitute cautionary statements identifying important factors with respect to those forward-looking statements, including certain risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to vary materially from the future results anticipated by those forward-looking statements. Among the key factors that have a direct bearing on our results of operations are the effects of various governmental regulations, the fluctuation of our direct costs and the costs and effectiveness of our operating strategy. Other factors could also cause actual results to vary materially from the future results anticipated by those forward-looking statements. Use of Proceeds --------------- We will receive up to $150,000.00 if all of the shares of common stock offered by us at $0.20 per share are purchased. Assuming all of the shares are purchased, we intend to use 25% of the proceeds for marketing expenses, approximately 11% of the proceeds for offering expenses, and 64% of the proceeds for working capital. If all of the shares are not sold, then we intend to use the proceeds that we receive for offering expenses and working capital. We cannot guaranty that we will sell any or all of the shares being offered by us. We will not receive any of the proceeds from the sale of those shares being offered by the selling security holders. Determination of Offering Price ------------------------------- Factors Used to Determine Share Price. The offering price of the 750,000 shares of common stock being offered by us has been determined primarily by our capital requirements and has no relationship to any established criteria of value, such as book value or earnings per share. Additionally, because we have no significant operating history and have not generated any revenues to date, the price of the shares of common stock is not based on past earnings, nor is the price of the shares indicative of current market value for the assets owned by us. No valuation or appraisal has been prepared for our business and potential business expansion. The offering price of the shares being offered by the selling security holders has no relationship to any established criteria of value, such as book value or earnings per share. Dilution -------- We intend to sell 750,000 shares of our common stock being registered by this registration statement. We were initially capitalized by the sale of our common stock. The following table sets forth the number of shares of common stock purchased from us, the total consideration paid and the price per share.

We have not conducted any discussions or negotiations for the sale of all or any portion of those 750,000 shares of our common stock. There is no minimum number of shares that must be purchased by each prospective purchaser and the maximum number of shares we will sell is 750,000. We will not pay any commissions or other fees, directly or indirectly to any person or firm in connection with solicitation of sales of the common stock. There is no minimum proceeds set for this offering. We will not place the funds raised in an escrow account. All funds received in this offering will be deposited directly into our corporate general account and will be available for immediate utilization. We anticipate that Mitch Keeler, our president, will participate in the offer and sale of our shares of common stock, and rely on the safe harbor from broker-dealer registration set out in Rule 3a4-1 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Although Mr. Keeler is an associated person of the company as that term is defined in Rule 3a4-l under the Exchange Act, he is deemed not to be a broker for the following reasons: o Mr. Keeler is not subject to a statutory disqualification as that term is defined in Section 3(a)(39) of the Exchange Act at the time of his participation in the sale of our securities. o Mr. Keeler will not be compensated for his participation in the sale of company securities by the payment of commission or other remuneration based either directly or indirectly on transactions in securities. o Mr. Keeler is not an associated person of a broker or dealer at the time of participation in the sale of company securities. 10 Mr. Keeler will restrict his participation to the following activities: o preparing any written communication or delivering any communication through the mails or other means that does not involve oral solicitation by the president of a potential purchaser; o responding to inquiries of potential purchasers in communication initiated by the potential purchasers, provided, however, that the content of responses are limited to information contained in a registration statement filed under the Securities Act or other offering document; o performing ministerial and clerical work involved in effecting any transaction. We have not retained a broker for the sale of securities being offered. In the event we retain a broker who may be deemed an underwriter, an amendment to the registration statement will be filed. The shares of common stock being offered by us have not been registered for sale under the securities laws of any state as of the date of this prospectus. We intend to register or qualify the offered shares in the following states: Nevada, New York, Michigan, Massachusetts and Rhode Island. Under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and the regulations thereunder, any person engaged in a distribution of the shares of our common stock offered by this prospectus may not simultaneously engage in market making activities with respect to our common stock during the applicable "cooling off" periods prior to the commencement of such distribution. The selling security holders may sell our common stock in the over-the-counter market, or on any securities exchange on which our common stock is or becomes listed or traded, in negotiated transactions or otherwise. The selling security holders may sell our common stock at prices then prevailing or related to the then current market price or at negotiated prices. The shares will not be sold in an underwritten public offering. The shares may be sold directly or through brokers or dealers. The methods by which the shares may be sold include: o purchases by a broker or dealer as principal and resale by such broker or dealer for its account; o ordinary brokerage transactions and transactions in which the broker solicits purchasers; and o privately negotiated transactions. The shares of common stock being offered by the selling security holders have not been registered for sale under the securities laws of any state as of the date of this prospectus. Brokers or dealers effecting transactions in the shares of our common stock should confirm the registration thereof under the securities laws of the states in which transactions occur or the existence of any exemption from registration or qualification. Brokers and dealers engaged by selling security holders may arrange for other brokers or dealers to participate. Brokers or dealers may receive commissions or discounts from selling security holders, or, if any such broker-dealer acts as agent for the purchaser of such shares, from such purchaser, in amounts to be negotiated. Broker-dealers may agree with the selling security holders to sell a specified number of such shares at a stipulated price per share, and, to the extent such broker-dealer is unable to do so acting as agent for a selling security holder, to purchase as principal any unsold shares at the price required to fulfill the broker-dealer commitment to such selling security holder. Broker-dealers who acquire shares as principal may resell those shares from time to time in the over-the-counter market or otherwise at prices and on terms then prevailing or then related to the then-current market price or in negotiated transactions and, in connection with such resales, may receive or pay commissions. In the event that a broker-dealer is added as a formal participant to the marketing effort of the selling security holders, we will file a post effective amendment to disclose such event. The selling security holders and any broker-dealers participating in the distributions of the shares may be deemed to be "underwriters" within the meaning of Section 2(11) of the Securities Act of 1933. Any profit on the sale of shares by the selling security holders and any commissions or discounts given to any such broker-dealer may be deemed to be underwriting commissions or discounts. The shares may also be sold pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act of 1933 beginning one year after the shares were issued. We have filed the registration statement, of which this prospectus forms a part, with respect to the sale of the shares by the selling security holders. There can be no assurance that the selling security holders will sell any or all of the offered shares. 11 Under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and the regulations thereunder, any person engaged in a distribution of the shares of our common stock offered by this prospectus may not simultaneously engage in market making activities with respect to our common stock during the applicable "cooling off" periods prior to the commencement of such distribution. Also, the selling security holders are subject to applicable provisions which limit the timing of purchases and sales of our common stock by the selling security holders. We have informed the selling security holders that, during such time as they may be engaged in a distribution of any of the shares we are registering by this registration statement, they are required to comply with Regulation M. In general, Regulation M precludes any selling security holder, any affiliated purchasers and any broker-dealer or other person who participates in a distribution from bidding for or purchasing, or attempting to induce any person to bid for or purchase, any security which is the subject of the distribution until the entire distribution is complete. Regulation M defines a "distribution" as an offering of securities that is distinguished from ordinary trading activities by the magnitude of the offering and the presence of special selling efforts and selling methods. Regulation M also defines a "distribution participant" as an underwriter, prospective underwriter, broker, dealer, or other person who has agreed to participate or who is participating in a distribution. Regulation M prohibits any bids or purchases made in order to stabilize the price of a security in connection with the distribution of that security, except as specifically permitted by Rule 104 of Regulation M. These stabilizing transactions may cause the price of our common stock to be more than it would otherwise be in the absence of these transactions. We have informed the selling security holders that stabilizing transactions permitted by Regulation M allow bids to purchase our common stock if the stabilizing bids do not exceed a specified maximum. Regulation M specifically prohibits stabilizing that is the result of fraudulent, manipulative, or deceptive practices. Selling security holders and distribution participants are required to consult with their own legal counsel to ensure compliance with Regulation M. Legal Proceedings ----------------- There are no legal actions pending against us nor are any legal actions contemplated by us at this time. Directors, Executive Officers, Promoters and Control Persons ------------------------------------------------------------ Executive Officers and Directors. We are dependent on the efforts and abilities of certain of our senior management. The interruption of the services of key management could hinder our ability to conduct operations and complete future development, if suitable replacements are not promptly obtained. We anticipate that we will enter into employment agreements with each of our key executives. We cannot guaranty that each executive will remain with us during or after the term of his or her employment agreement. In addition, our success depends, in part, upon our ability to attract and retain other talented personnel. Although we believe that our relations with our personnel are good and that we will continue to be successful in attracting and retaining qualified personnel, we cannot guaranty that we will be able to continue to do so. Our officers and directors will hold office until their resignations or removal. 12 Our directors and principal executive officers are as specified on the following table: =============== =============== ========================================== Name Age Position --------------- --------------- ------------------------------------------ Mitch Keeler 43 President and Director --------------- --------------- ------------------------------------------ Melissa Day 33 Secretary, Treasurer, Director =============== =============== ========================================== Mitch Keeler.

In accordance with Securities and Exchange Commission rules, shares of our common stock which may be acquired upon exercise of stock options or warrants which are currently exercisable or which become exercisable within 60 days of the date of the table are deemed beneficially owned by the optionees. Subject to community property laws, where applicable, the persons or entities named in the table above have sole voting and investment power with respect to all shares of our common stock indicated as beneficially owned by them. Changes in Control. Our management is not aware of any arrangements which may result in "changes in control" as that term is defined by the provisions of Item 403(c) of Regulation S-B. Description of Securities ------------------------- We were originally authorized to issue 25,000 shares of no par common stock. In May 2001, we amended our Articles of Incorporation to authorize 50,000,000 shares of $.001 par value common stock. As of September 19, 2001, 1,282,777 shares of our common stock were issued and outstanding. No preferred stock is authorized. Each shareholder of our common stock is entitled to a pro rata share of cash distributions made to shareholders, including dividend payments. The holders of our common stock are entitled to one vote for each share of record on all matters to be voted on by shareholders. There is no cumulative voting with respect to the election of our directors or any other matter. Therefore, the holders of more than 50% of the shares voted for the election of those directors can elect all of the directors. The holders of our common stock are entitled to receive dividends when, as and if declared by our Board of Directors from funds legally available therefore. Cash dividends are at the sole discretion of our Board of Directors. In the event of our liquidation, dissolution or winding up, the holders of common stock are entitled to share ratably in all assets remaining available for distribution to them after payment of our liabilities and after provision has been made for each class of stock, if any, having any preference in relation to our common stock. Holders of shares of our common stock have no conversion, preemptive or other subscription rights, and there are no redemption provisions applicable to our common stock. Dividend Policy. We have never declared or paid a cash dividend on our capital stock. We do not expect to pay cash dividends on our common stock in the foreseeable future. We currently intend to retain our earnings, if any, for use in our business. Any dividends declared in the future will be at the discretion of our board of directors and subject to any restrictions that may be imposed by our lenders. Our Articles of Incorporation and our Bylaws do not contain any provisions which were included to delay, defer, discourage or prevent a change in control. Interest of Named Experts and Counsel ------------------------------------- No "expert" or our "counsel" was hired on a contingent basis, or will receive a direct or indirect interest in us, or was a promoter, underwriter, voting trustee, director, officer, or employee of the company, at any time prior to the filing of this registration statement. Disclosure of Commission Position on Indemnification for Securities Act Liabilities ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Article Twelve of our Articles of Incorporation provides, among other things, that our officers and directors shall not be personally liable to us or our shareholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as an officer or a director, except for liability: o for acts or omissions not in good faith or which involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law; or o for unlawful payments of dividends or unlawful stock purchase or redemption by us. Accordingly, our directors may have no liability to our shareholders for any mistakes or errors of judgment or for any act of omission, unless the act or omission involves intentional misconduct, fraud, or a knowing violation of law or results in unlawful distributions to our shareholders. 14 Indemnification Agreements. We will enter into indemnification agreements with each of our executive officers. We will agree to indemnify each such person for all expenses and liabilities, including criminal monetary judgments, penalties and fines, incurred by such person in connection with any criminal or civil action brought or threatened against such person by reason of such person being or having been our officer or director or employee. In order to be entitled to indemnification by us, such person must have acted in good faith and in a manner such person believed to be in our best interests. With respect to criminal actions, such person must have had no reasonable cause to believe his or her conduct was unlawful. Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to our directors, officers and controlling persons pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, we have been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in that act and is, therefore, unenforceable. Organization Within Last Five Years ----------------------------------- Transactions with Promoters. Mitch Keeler was our promoter. In May 2001, we issued 1,000,000 shares of our common stock to Mr. Keeler in exchange for $10,000. Description of Business ----------------------- Our Background. We were incorporated in Nevada on February 21, 2001. Our Business. We provide a broad range of yacht services in the global marketplace. Our services include yacht rental and charter, yacht sales and yacht services, such as the provision of captain, crew, supplies, maintenance, delivery as well as full-scale contracted care of yachts. Our president, Mitch Keeler, is an experienced captain and possesses a captain certification from the U.S. Coast Guard. Mr. Keeler provides professional advice and consultation for all aspects of yacht lease, purchase and ownership and is available for on site assistance anywhere in the world. Our Products and Services. We intend to be a professional source that the yacht owner or enthusiast will utilize for all their yachting requirements, including brokering sales or providing consulting services for yacht purchases, overseeing delivery to a foreign destination, recruiting captain and crew, procuring and supervising quality subcontract repairs and routine maintenance, and providing yacht charter cruises. We intend to provide high quality customer service, which we hope will result in repeat and referral business. We provide the following services: o brokering traditional face-to-face yacht sales, of vessels in the $1 - 1.5 million range; o yacht sales or lease by means of the website, of vessels in the $500,000 range; o yacht services such as the provision of captains, engineers and crew, from a list of qualified prospects and also supplies and maintenance; o deliveries of yachts to worldwide destinations; o full-scale contracted care yachts, including interior and exterior cleaning twice monthly, exterior waxing twice yearly, bottom cleaning once monthly, and routine maintenance; o advice and consultation to clients with regard to all aspects of yacht lease, purchase, custom construction and ownership, such as consultation at a boat show by contract; We currently offer private yacht charters in San Diego, usually of up to one week in duration as well as corporate charters, which are typically 3 to 5 hours and short range, often with catering and bar services. In order to provide certain services to our clients, we intend to establish relationships with various parties including yacht owners, sellers, brokers, lessors, charter agents, maintenance suppliers, industry professionals and specialists, captains, crew, engineers, designers, insurance agents, legal advisors, and government agents. In the high-end yachting industry, reputation of the company and its personnel is very important to the customers. Our president, Mitch Keeler has extensive contacts and experience in all aspects of the yachting industry due to his 20 years in the field as a licensed yacht captain. We believe that a significant portion of our customers will be generated by referral from Mr. Keeler's contacts. 15 Our facilities are located in San Diego, California, giving us a presence in what we believe is one of the world's largest luxury yacht markets. We also intend to conduct operations to the eastern Caribbean market through Global Yacht Services (BVI) Limited, our wholly owned subsidiary. We anticipate that our subsidiary will establish an office in Tortola, British Virgin Islands, so that we provide services to that market. We anticipate that we will develop our website so that it will function as a means for global clients to access our range of services and communicate with us. In California, the chief means of contact will be in person, by mail, e-mail, phone or fax, although we anticipate that a significant portion of our business will be conducted away from the office or at the client's location. We believe that we must be accessible via multiple types of communication systems, such as cellular phone and email, so that prospects and clients can always reach us. We anticipate that we will rely upon effective business systems to grow our business. We intend to develop an information database to capture client data for future business development, which will cue our management follow-up calls to brokers and clients for a regular check up to ensure they are satisfied with current services. As with many other luxury purchases, luxury yacht purchases are often cyclical with some clients upgrading to new models every 2 or 3 years. We hope to serve these clients in making these upgrade purchases. However, we expect that other clients will maintain their original yacht, but make use of relevant maintenance services through us. Our Website www.gysi-online.com. Our current website, which is hosted by a local provider in San Diego, California, displays our corporate logo and contact information and provides a general description of our staff, the services that we provide as well as links to resources of interest to yacht owners. We believe that there is a need in the global yacht industry for clients to obtain timely and comprehensive services. We hope to fulfill this need by means of our website, which we intend to further develop to provide one-stop shopping and support for clients and prospective clients. Our Target Markets and Marketing Strategy. We intend to serve the global high-end luxury yachting market through relationship marketing and our website. We will begin by providing service in the San Diego region, central to the southern California yacht market, by approaching existing yacht owners to act as charter agents. Yacht services such as care-taking or maintenance, making travel arrangements and brokering captains and crew, yacht delivery world-wide, yacht sales and general yachting related services will be provided initially in San Diego, Orange, and Los Angeles counties. The southern California region is second only to Florida in the U.S. market for luxury yachts and services. We intend to be competitive in price to satisfy those clients who are price shoppers. However, we intend to provide high quality services, which we believe will attract loyal clients for whom price will be a secondary consideration. We will promote our services primarily by means of our website, but also by relationship-building with yacht brokers, articles and advertisements in trade publications such as Yachts International, duPont Registry, Yachting, Yachting World, Sea Magazine and Motor Yachting Magazine, as well as by reputation and word-of-mouth. Additionally, we anticipate that attendance at a number of boat shows will be necessary, often in a contract capacity to assist a client to find a new vessel. Our Growth Strategy. Our objective is to establish our reputation of providing preeminent services to luxury yacht owners and users of yacht services initially in San Diego, Orange and Los Angeles counties. Our strategy is to provide clients with exceptional personal service and access to products and services. Key elements of our strategy include: o cultivate relationships with existing and potential clients; o increase our relationships with third party providers of maintenance and repair products and services; o continue to promote our website and expand its capabilities; and o expand operations in the southern California and eastern Caribbean markets. Our Competition. The market for luxury yacht sales and services is very competitive. We compete primarily with single-location boat dealers and yacht brokers with respect to brokering sales or providing consulting services for yacht purchases and overseeing delivery to a foreign destination. We also compete with national specialty marine parts and accessories stores, catalog retailers, sporting goods stores, and mass merchants with respect to sales of marine parts, accessories, services and equipment. We also compete with other providers of yacht charter services and with cruise ship lines and other forms of vacation choices and types of recreation. In addition, several of our competitors, especially those selling marine equipment and accessories, are large international, national or regional businesses that have substantial financial, marketing, and other resources. Private boat charters are additional competition. 16 We believe that competition among boat dealers and yacht charter services is based on the quality of available products, the price and value of the products, and attention to customer service. There is significant competition both within markets we currently serve and in new markets that we may enter. Additionally, the market for similar products and services offered over the Internet is highly competitive. There are no substantial barriers to entry in these markets, and we expect that competition will continue to intensify. Our yacht purchasing and maintenance services compete against a variety of Internet and traditional boat and other recreational equipment purchasing services as well as boat manufacturers, yacht brokers and yacht maintenance companies. Therefore, the competitive factors faced by both Internet commerce companies as well as traditional, offline companies within the boating equipment and service industries affect us. To compete successfully in the global marketplace as an Internet-based commercial entity, we must significantly increase awareness of our services and brand name. We anticipate we will compete with other entities which maintain similar commercial websites including buymarine.com, yachtworld.com, boating.com, boattraderonline.com, boatowners.com and boat-yachts.com. In addition, all major cruise companies, yacht manufacturers and other boating industry players have their own websites and many have recently launched or announced plans to launch online buying services. For example, Campers & Nicholsons, or C&N, which is based overseas with a long-established history and reputation, uses traditional means such as relying on referrals, direct mail and high-end catalogue to generate leads. However, C&N also has a website, cnconnect.com, but mostly relies upon this means of communication to generate calls to brokers. On the other hand, Yachtstore generates the majority of its business from its website, where a buyer can conduct transactions from yacht purchases to charter arrangements without speaking to a live broker. We also compete with yacht charter or maintenance companies, as well as yacht manufacturers and dealers. Such companies may already maintain or may introduce websites which compete with ours. Many of these competitors have greater financial resources than we have, enabling them to finance acquisition and development opportunities, to pay higher prices for the same opportunities or to develop and support their own operations. In addition, many of these companies can offer bundled, value-added or additional services not provided by us, and may have greater name recognition. These companies might be willing to sacrifice profitability to capture a greater portion of the market for yacht sales, service or charters, or pay higher prices than we would for the same expansion and development opportunities. Consequently, we may encounter significant competition in our efforts to achieve our internal growth objectives. Our Intellectual Property. We do not presently own any patents, trademarks, copyrights, licenses, concessions or royalties. Our success may depend in part upon our ability to protect our trade name, preserve our trade secrets, obtain and maintain patent protection for our technologies, products and processes, and operate without infringing the proprietary rights of other parties. However, we may rely on certain proprietary technologies, trade secrets, and know-how that are not patentable. Although we may take action to protect our unpatented trade secrets and our proprietary information, in part, by the use of confidentiality agreements with our employees, consultants and certain of our contractors, we cannot guaranty that o these agreements will not be breached; o we would have adequate remedies for any breach; or o our proprietary trade secrets and know-how will not otherwise become known or be independently developed or discovered by competitors. We cannot guaranty that our actions will be sufficient to prevent imitation or duplication of either our products and services by others or prevent others from claiming violations of their trade secrets and proprietary rights. We own the Internet domain name www.gysi-online.com. Under current domain name registration practices, no one else can obtain an identical domain name, but someone might obtain a similar name, or the identical name with a different suffix, such as ".org", or with a country designation. The regulation of domain names in the United States and in foreign countries is subject to change, and we could be unable to prevent third parties from acquiring domain names that infringe or otherwise decrease the value of our domain names. 17 Government Regulation. Our yacht sales, maintenance and charter operations are subject to extensive regulation, supervision, and licensing under various federal, state, and local statutes, ordinances, and regulations. For example, broker services require sales licenses in most states, and boats under charter must adhere to U.S. Coast Guard standards, including safety regulations such as those for life-saving equipment, and are subject to various vessel inspection and testing requirements. Also, vessel manufacturers must certify yachts and all recreational powerboats sold in the U.S. meet U.S. Coast Guard standards. These certifications specify standards for the design and construction of yachts and other powerboats. In addition, yacht safety is subject to federal regulation under the Boat Safety Act of 1971. The Boat Safety Act requires boat manufacturers to recall products for replacement of parts or components that have demonstrated defects affecting safety. In addition, boats manufactured for sale in other countries must be certified to meet standards in those jurisdictions. Certain states have required or are considering requiring a license to operate a recreational boat. These licensing requirements are not expected to be unduly restrictive. They may, however, discourage potential first-time buyers, which could hinder our ability to generate revenues. In addition, certain state and local governmental authorities are contemplating regulatory efforts to restrict boating activities on certain inland bodies of water. While the scope of these potential regulations is not yet known, their adoption and enforcement could significant reduce our revenues. Changes in federal and state tax laws, such as an imposition of luxury taxes on new boat purchases, also could influence consumers' decisions to purchase products we offer and could have a negative effect on our sales. For example, during 1991 and 1992, the federal government imposed a luxury tax on new recreational boats with sales prices in excess of $100,000, which coincided with a sharp decline in boating industry sales from the late 1980s compared to 1992. Our business or that of our subcontractors may involve the use, handling, storage, and contracting for recycling or disposal of hazardous or toxic substances or wastes, including environmentally sensitive materials, such as motor oil, waste motor oil and filters, transmission fluid, antifreeze, freon, waste paint and lacquer thinner, batteries, solvents, lubricants, degreasing agents, gasoline, and diesel fuels. Accordingly, we could be subject to regulation by federal, state, and local authorities establishing investigation and health and environmental quality standards, and liability related thereto, and providing penalties for violations of those standards. In particular, the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act, or CERCLA or Superfund, imposes joint, strict, and several liability on: o owners or operators of facilities at, from, or to which a release of hazardous substances has occurred; o parties who generated hazardous substances that were released at such facilities; and o parties who transported or arranged for the transportation of hazardous substances to such facilities. A majority of states have adopted Superfund statutes comparable to and, in some cases, more stringent than CERCLA. In addition, operations conducted on waterways are subject to federal or state laws regulating navigable waters (including oil pollution prevention), fish and wildlife, and other matters. Additionally, Internet access and online services are not subject to direct regulation in the United States. Changes in the laws and regulations relating to the telecommunications and media industry, however, could impact our business. For example, the Federal Communications Commission could begin to regulate the Internet and online services industry, which could result in increased costs for us. The laws and regulations applicable to the Internet and to our services are evolving and unclear and could damage our business. There are currently few laws or regulations directly applicable to access to, or commerce on, the Internet. Due to the increasing popularity and use of the Internet, it is possible that laws and regulations may be adopted, covering issues such as user privacy, defamation, pricing, taxation, content regulation, quality of products and services, and intellectual property ownership and infringement. Such legislation could expose us to substantial liability as well as dampen the growth in use of the Internet, decrease the acceptance of the Internet as a communications and commercial medium, or require us to incur significant expenses in complying with any new regulations. The European Union has recently adopted privacy and copyright directives that may impose additional burdens and costs on international operations. 18 Our Research and Development. We are not currently conducting any research and development activities, other than the development of our website. We do not anticipate conducting such activities in the near future. Employees. As of September 19, 2001, we have one full time employee and one part time employee. We anticipate that we will not hire any employees in the next six months, unless we generate significant revenues. From time-to-time, we anticipate that we will use the services of independent contractors and consultants for the various services that we provide. Facilities. Our executive, administrative and operating offices are located 7710 Hazard Center Drive, Suite E-415, San Diego, California 92108. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations --------------------------------------------------------------------------- For the period from February 21, 2001, our date of formation, through June 30, 2001. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Liquidity and Capital Resources. We have cash of $63,429 as of June 30, 2001. Our accounts receivable were approximately $600 as of June 30, 2001. Despite our limited history, we believe that we will collect those receivables in a timely fashion. We believe that our available cash is sufficient to pay our day-to-day expenditures. Our officers and directors provided us with our initial capitalization of $10,500. In May 2001, we sold 277,777 shares of common stock to two investors for $0.18 per share. The total proceeds were approximately $50,000. Those proceeds were used to provide us with additional working capital. As of June 30, 2001, our total liabilities were approximately $5,606, all of which was for accounts payable and accrued expenses. Results of Operations. Revenues. We have realized revenues of approximately $12,875 from yacht charters and management services that we provided during the period ended June 30, 2001. We anticipate that our revenues will increase significantly as we expand our customer base. For the period ended June 30, 2001, our cost of revenues were approximately $4,000. Cost of revenues includes approximately $1,450 for yacht fuel, $1,050 for port and docking fees and $1,500 for supplies and maintenance. Our gross margin for the period ended June 30, 2001, was approximately $8,875. Operating Expenses. For the period ended June 30, 2001, our total expenses were approximately $10,921. The majority of those expenses were legal and professional fees of $5,885. Other expenses included advertising expenses of approximately $1,100, office supplies and expenses of approximately $1,747 and outside services of approximately $1,500. For the period ended June 30, 2001, we experienced a net loss of approximately $2,897. Our Plan of Operation for the Next Twelve Months. In our management's opinion, to effectuate our business plan in the next twelve months, the following events should occur or we should reach the following milestones in order for us to become profitable: 1. We must conduct marketing activities to promote our services and obtain additional customers to increase our customer base. Within six months, we should have increased our customer base. 2. We must develop relationships with various parties including yacht owners, sellers, brokers, lessors, charter agents, maintenance suppliers, industry professionals and specialists, captains, crew, engineers, designers, insurance agents, legal advisors, and government agents. We believe that these parties will help supply some of our services and they may become sources of referrals. Within six to twelve months, we should have developed relationships with several of those parties who provide some of the services that we offer as well as be sources of referrals. 3. We must develop our website so that it will function as a means for global clients to access our range of services and communicate with us for support services as well as for use as a marketing tool to inform and persuade customers to engage our services. Within six to twelve months, we should have developed our website to provide those services. 19 We anticipate that we will use the funds raised in this offering and revenues generated to fund marketing activities and for working capital. Our failure to market and promote our services will hinder our ability to increase the size of our operations and generate additional revenues. We have cash of $63,429 as of June 30, 2001. In the opinion of management, available funds will satisfy our working capital requirements through March 2002. Our forecast for the period for which our financial resources will be adequate to support our operations involves risks and uncertainties and actual results could fail as a result of a number of factors. We anticipate that we may need to raise additional capital to expand our operations. Such additional capital may be raised through public or private financing as well as borrowings and other sources. We cannot guaranty that additional funding will be available on favorable terms, if at all. If adequate funds are not available, then we may not be able to conduct marketing activities and expand our operations. If adequate funds are not available, we believe that our officers and directors will contribute funds to pay for our expenses. Therefore, we have not contemplated any plan of liquidation in the event that we do not generate revenues. We are not currently conducting any research and development activities, other than the development of our website. We do not anticipate conducting such activities in the near future. In the event that we expand our customer base, then we may need to hire additional employees or independent contractors as well as purchase or lease additional equipment.

Our financial statements reflect, as occupancy costs, the fair market value of that space, which is approximately $193 per month. That amount has been included in the financial statements as additional capital contribution by Mr. Keeler. Certain Relationships and Related Transactions ---------------------------------------------- Related party transactions. Mitch Keeler, our president and director, currently provides office space to us at no charge. Mr. Keeler does not expect to be paid or reimbursed for providing office facilities. Our financial statements reflect, as occupancy costs, the fair market value of that space, which is approximately $193 per month. That amount has been included in the financial statements as additional capital contribution by Mr. Keeler. In February 2001, we issued 1,000,000 shares of our common stock to Mitch Keeler, our president and one of our directors, in exchange for $10,000, or $0.01 per share. In May 2001, we issued 5,000 shares of our common stock to Melissa Day, our secretary, treasurer and one of our directors, in exchange for $500, or $0.10 per share. 20 With regard to any future related party transaction, we plan to fully disclose any and all related party transactions, including, but not limited to, the following: o disclosing such transactions in prospectus' where required; o disclose in any and all filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, where required; o obtain uninterested directors consent; and o obtain shareholder consent where required. Market for Common Equity and Related Stockholder Matters -------------------------------------------------------- Reports to Security Holders. Our securities are not listed for trading on any exchange or quotation service. We are not required to comply with the timely disclosure policies of any exchange or quotation service. The requirements to which we would be subject if our securities were so listed typically include the timely disclosure of a material change or fact with respect to our affairs and the making of required filings. Although we are not required to deliver an annual report to security holders, we intend to provide an annual report to our security holders, which will include audited financial statements. When we become a reporting company with the Securities and Exchange Commission, the public may read and copy any materials filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission at the Security and Exchange Commission's Public Reference Room at 450 Fifth Street N.W., Washington, D.C. 20549. The public may also obtain information on the operation of the Public Reference Room by calling the Securities and Exchange Commission at 1-800-SEC-0330. The Securities and Exchange Commission maintains an Internet site that contains reports, proxy and information statements, and other information regarding issuers that file electronically with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The address of that site is http://www.sec.gov. As of September 19, 2001, there were four record holders of our common stock. There are no outstanding shares of our common stock which can be sold pursuant to Rule 144. There are no outstanding options or warrants to purchase, or securities convertible into, shares of our common stock. There are no outstanding shares of our common stock that we have agreed to register under the Securities Act of 1933 for sale by security holders. There have been no cash dividends declared on our common stock. Dividends are declared at the sole discretion of our Board of Directors. Penny stock regulation. Shares of our common stock will probably be subject to rules adopted by the Securities and Exchange Commission that regulate broker-dealer practices in connection with transactions in "penny stocks". Penny stocks are generally equity securities with a price of less than $5.00, except for securities registered on certain national securities exchanges or quoted on the Nasdaq system, provided that current price and volume information with respect to transactions in those securities is provided by the exchange or system. The penny stock rules require a broker-dealer, prior to a transaction in a penny stock not otherwise exempt from those rules, deliver a standardized risk disclosure document prepared by the Securities and Exchange Commission, which contains the following: o a description of the nature and level of risk in the market for penny stocks in both public offerings and secondary trading; o a description of the broker's or dealer's duties to the customer and of the rights and remedies available to the customer with respect to violation to such duties or other requirements of securities' laws; o a brief, clear, narrative description of a dealer market, including "bid" and "ask" prices for penny stocks and the significance of the spread between the "bid" and "ask" price; o a toll-free telephone number for inquiries on disciplinary actions; o definitions of significant terms in the disclosure document or in the conduct of trading in penny stocks; and o such other information and is in such form, including language, type, size and format, as the Securities and Exchange Commission shall require by rule or regulation. Prior to effecting any transaction in penny stock, the broker-dealer also must provide the customer the following: o the bid and offer quotations for the penny stock; o the compensation of the broker-dealer and its salesperson in the transaction; o the number of shares to which such bid and ask prices apply, or other comparable information relating to the depth and liquidity of the market for such stock; and o monthly account statements showing the market value of each penny stock held in the customer's account. 21 In addition, the penny stock rules require that prior to a transaction in a penny stock not otherwise exempt from those rules, the broker-dealer must make a special written determination that the penny stock is a suitable investment for the purchaser and receive the purchaser's written acknowledgment of the receipt of a risk disclosure statement, a written agreement to transactions involving penny stocks, and a signed and dated copy of a written suitably statement. These disclosure requirements may have the effect of reducing the trading activity in the secondary market for a stock that becomes subject to the penny stock rules. Holders of shares of our common stock may have difficulty selling those shares because our common stock will probably be subject to the penny stock rules. Executive Compensation ---------------------- Any compensation received by our officers, directors, and management personnel will be determined from time to time by our Board of Directors. Our officers, directors, and management personnel will be reimbursed for any out-of-pocket expenses incurred on our behalf. Summary Compensation Table. The table set forth below summarizes the annual and long-term compensation for services in all capacities to us payable to our chief executive officer and our other executive officers whose total annual salary and bonus are anticipated to exceed $50,000 during the year ending December 31, 2001. Our Board of Directors may adopt an incentive stock option plan for our executive officers which would result in additional compensation. ===================================== ======= ============= ============= ===================== ========================= Name and Principal Position Year Annual Bonus ($) Other Annual All Other Compensation Salary ($) Compensation ($) ------------------------------------- ------- ------------- ------------- --------------------- ------------------------- Mitch Keeler - president 2001 None None None None ------------------------------------- ------- ------------- ------------- --------------------- ------------------------- Melissa Day - secretary, treasurer 2001 None None None None ===================================== ======= ============= ============= ===================== ========================= Compensation of Directors.

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of Global Yacht Services, Inc. and its subsidiary as of June 30, 2001, and the related consolidated statements of operations, changes in stockholders' equity, and cash flows for the period February 21, 2001 (inception) through June 30, 2001. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit. We conducted our audit in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards in the United States. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion. In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Global Yacht Services, Inc. and its subsidiary as of June 30, 2001, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the period February 21, 2001 (inception) through June 30, 2001 in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the Unites States. /s/ HALL & COMPANY A Professional Accountancy Corporation August 29, 2001 24 GLOBAL YACHT SERVICES, INC.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS JUNE 30, 2001 Note 1 - BUSINESS DESCRIPTION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES Business Description - Global Yacht Services, Inc. and its subsidiary (the "Company") provides chartering, delivery, maintenance and consulting services to luxury yacht owners and manufacturers. The Company's President is a United States Coast Guard certified captain. The Company was incorporated in the state of Nevada on February 21, 2001 and is headquartered in San Diego, California. Principles of Consolidation - The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Global Yacht Services, Inc. and its majority owned subsidiary Global Yacht Services, Ltd. (collectively, the "Company"). All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated, if any. Cash and Cash Equivalents - For purposes of the consolidated balance sheet and consolidated statement of cash flows, the Company considers all highly liquid debt instruments purchased with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. Receivables - Receivables represent valid claims against debtors for sales or other charges arising on or before the balance-sheet date and are reduced to their estimated net realizable value. An allowance for doubtful accounts will be computed as a percentage (%) of sales when more experience is established. As of June 30, 2001, the Company considered all receivables fully collectible. Fair Value of Financial Instruments - The carrying value of cash, accounts receivable, and accounts payable and accrued expenses approximate their fair value due to the short period to maturity of these instruments. Recognition of Revenues and Costs of Goods Sold - The Company records revenues of its services when they are complete and collectibility is reasonably assured. The Company will also provide an allowance for returns when experience is established. Cost of goods sold consists of fuel, docking fees, supplies and cost of services and related expenses of personnel used. Advertising Costs - The Company expenses all advertising costs as incurred. Income Taxes - The Company recognizes deferred tax assets and liabilities based on differences between the financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities using the enacted tax rates and laws that are expected to be in effect when the differences are expected to be recovered. The Company provides a valuation allowance for deferred tax assets for which it does not consider realization of such assets to be more likely than not. Net Loss per Common Share - The Company has adopted the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 128, "Earnings Per Share" ("SFAS 128"). SFAS 128 requires the reporting of basic and diluted earnings/loss per share. Basic loss per share is calculated by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of outstanding common shares during the period. 29 GLOBAL YACHT SERVICES, INC. NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS JUNE 30, 2001 Note 1 - BUSINESS DESCRIPTION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONT'D) Accounting 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. New Accounting Pronouncements - In March 2000, the Emerging Issues Task Force (EITF) of the FASB reached a consensus on EITF Issue 00-2, "Accounting for Web Site Development Costs." This consensus provides guidance on what types of costs incurred to develop Web sites should be capitalized or expensed. The Company adopted this consensus upon incorporation on February 21, 2001. Such capitalized costs, if material, are to be included in "Fixed assets, net" and will be depreciated over a period of two years. NOTE 2 - CONTINGENCIES As shown in the accompanying financial statements, the Company has incurred a net operating loss of $2,897 since inception through June 30, 2001. The Company occupies office space within the officer's residence. Accordingly, occupancy costs have been allocated to the Company based on the square foot percentage assumed multiplied by the officer's total monthly costs. These amounts are shown in the accompanying consolidated statement of operations for period ended June 30, 2001. NOTE 3 - ACCRUED EXPENSES Accrued Wages and Compensated Absences - The Company currently does not have any employees. The majority of development costs and services have been provided to the Company by outside, third party vendors. As such, there is no accrual for wages or compensated absences as of June 30, 2001. NOTE 4 - COMMON STOCK On February 22, 2001, the Company issued 1,000,000 shares of its common stock to its officer and founder for $10,000 cash to initially capitalize the Company. Since there was no readily available market value at the time the shares were issued, the value of $0.01 per share was considered as a reasonable estimate of fair value between the officer and the Company. On May 4, 2001, the Company issued 5,000 shares of its common stock to an officer for $500 cash. Since there was no readily available market value at the time the shares were issued, the value of $0.10 per share was considered as a reasonable estimate of fair value between the office and the Company. 30 GLOBAL YACHT SERVICES, INC. NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS JUNE 30, 2001 NOTE 4 - COMMON STOCK (CONT'D) On May 31, 2001, the Company completed a "best efforts" offering of its common stock pursuant to the provisions of Section 5 of the Securities Act of 1933 and Regulation S promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission. In accordance with the Private Placement Memorandum Offering, the Company issued 277,777 shares of its common stock at $0.18 per share for a total of $50,000. NOTE 5 - INCOME TAXES At June 30, 2001, the Company has available for federal income tax purposes a net operating loss carryforward of approximately $2,897, expiring 2016, that may be used to offset future taxable income. Therefore, no provision for income taxes has been provided. In addition, the Company has deferred tax assets of approximately $435 at June 30, 2001. The Company has not recorded a benefit from its net operating loss carryforward because realization of the benefit is uncertain and, therefore, a valuation allowance of ($435) has been provided for the deferred tax assets. NOTE 6 - RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS On February 22, 2001 and May 4, 2001, the Company issued 1,000,000 and 5,000 shares of its common stock, respectively to it current officers for cash as described in Note 4. The Company occupies office space provided by its officer. Accordingly, occupancy costs have been allocated to the Company based on the square foot percentage assumed multiplied by the officer's total monthly costs. These amounts are shown in the accompanying consolidated statement of operations for the period ended June 30, 2001 and are considered additional contributions of capital by the officer and the Company. 31 Changes in and Disagreements with Accountants on Accounting and Financial Disclosure -------------------------------------------------------------------------- In August 2001, our Board of Directors appointed Hall & Company CPAs, Inc., independent accountants, to audit our financials statements from February 21, 2001, our date of formation, through June 30, 2001. There have been no disagreements with our accountant since our formation required to be disclosed pursuant to Item 304 of Regulation S-B. LEGAL MATTERS The validity of the issuance of the shares of common stock offered by us has been passed upon by the law firm of Stepp Law Group, located in Newport Beach, California. EXPERTS Our financial statements for the period from February 21, 2001, our date of formation, through June 30, 2001, appearing in this prospectus which is part of a Registration Statement have been audited by Hall & Company CPAs, Inc. and are included in reliance upon such reports given upon the authority of Hall & Company CPAs, Inc. as experts in accounting and auditing. ADDITIONAL INFORMATION We have filed a registration statement on Form SB-2 with the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to the Securities Act of 1933. This prospectus does not contain all of the information set forth in the registration statement and the exhibits and schedules to the registration statement. For further information regarding us and our common stock offered hereby, reference is made to the registration statement and the exhibits and schedules filed as a part of the registration statement. 32 PART II - INFORMATION NOT REQUIRED IN PROSPECTUS Indemnification of Directors and Officers ----------------------------------------- Article Twelve of our Articles of Incorporation provides, among other things, that our officers and directors shall not be personally liable to us or our shareholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as an officer or a director, except for liability: o for acts or omissions not in good faith or which involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law; or o for unlawful payments of dividends or unlawful stock purchase or redemption by us. Accordingly, our directors may have no liability to our shareholders for any mistakes or errors of judgment or for any act of omission, unless the act or omission involves intentional misconduct, fraud, or a knowing violation of law or results in unlawful distributions to our shareholders. Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to our directors, officers and controlling persons pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, we have been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. Other Expenses of Issuance and Distribution ------------------------------------------- We will pay all expenses in connection with the registration and sale of our common stock. The estimated expenses of issuance and distribution are set forth below. ======================================== ==================== =============== Registration Fees Approximately $39.60 ---------------------------------------- -------------------- --------------- Transfer Agent Fees Approximately $650.00 ---------------------------------------- -------------------- --------------- Costs of Printing and Engraving Approximately $500.00 ---------------------------------------- -------------------- --------------- Legal Fees Approximately $10,000.00 ---------------------------------------- -------------------- --------------- Accounting Fees Approximately $5,000.00 ======================================== ==================== =============== Recent Sales of Unregistered Securities --------------------------------------- There have been no sales of unregistered securities within the last three years, which would be required to be disclosed pursuant to Item 701 of Regulation S-B, except for the following: 33 In May 2001, we issued 97,222 shares of our common stock to Carib-Ventures, Inc. in exchange for $17,499.96, and 180,555 shares of our common stock to Flexgene Corp. for $32,499.90. The shares were issued in a transaction which we believe satisfies the requirements of that certain exemption from the registration and prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, which exemption is specified by the provisions of Section 5 of that act and Regulation S. There were no commissions paid on the sale of these shares. Both of the investors were non-U.S. persons. The net proceeds were approximately $50,000. In May 2001, we issued 5,000 shares of our common stock to Melissa Day, our secretary, treasurer and one of our directors, in exchange for $500, or $0.10 per share. The shares were issued in a transaction which we believe satisfies the requirements of that certain exemption from the registration and prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, which exemption is specified by the provisions of Section 4(2) of that act. We believe that Ms. Day has such knowledge and experience in financial and business matters that she is capable of evaluating the merits and risks of the prospective investment. In addition, Ms. Day had sufficient access to material information about us because she is our secretary, treasurer and one of our directors. In February 2001, we issued 1,000,000 shares of our common stock to Mitch Keeler, our president and one of our directors, in exchange for $10,000, or $0.01 per share. The shares were issued in a transaction which we believe satisfies the requirements of that certain exemption from the registration and prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, which exemption is specified by the provisions of Section 4(2) of that act. We believe that Mr. Keeler has such knowledge and experience in financial and business matters that he is capable of evaluating the merits and risks of the prospective investment. In addition, Mr. Keeler had sufficient access to material information about us because he is our president and one of our directors.

Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to our directors, officers and controlling persons pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, we have been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act of 1933 and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities, other than the payment by us of expenses incurred or paid by our director, officer or controlling person in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding, is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, we will, unless in the opinion of our counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act of 1933 and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue. B. We hereby undertake: (1) To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this registration statement: (i) To include any prospectus required by Section 10(a) (3) of the Securities Act of 1933; (ii) To specify in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of the registration statement, or most recent post-effective amendment thereof, which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in the registration statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered, if the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was registered, and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b), Section 230.424(b) of Regulation S-B, if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than a 20% change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the "Calculation of Registration Fee" table in the effective registration statement; and (iii) To include any additional or changed material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the registration statement or any material change to such information in the registration statement. (2) That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof. (3) To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering. 35 SIGNATURES In accordance with the requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, we certify that we have reasonable grounds to believe that we meet all of the requirements of filing on Form SB-2 and authorized this registration statement to be signed on our behalf by the undersigned, in the city of San Diego, State of California, on September 19, 2001.
