(A Development Stage Company) September 30, 2003 (Unaudited) Note 1. Basis of Presentation The accompanying unaudited financial statements of FuelNation Inc. (the "Company") have been prepared in accordance with Regulation S-B promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission and do not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles in the United States for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, these interim financial statements include all adjustments necessary in order to make the financial statements not misleading. The results of operations for such interim period are not necessarily indicative of results of operations for a full year. The unaudited financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and notes thereto of the Company and management's discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations included in the Annual Report on Form 10-KSB for the year ended December 31, 2002. The accompanying unaudited interim financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the liquidation of liabilities in the normal course of business. However, the Company has a history of net losses and as of September 30, 2003,has a working capital deficiency of $2,816,508 and a capital deficiency of approximately $36.1 million. Since October 2000, the Company has relied on financial support from equity financing and loans from affiliated entities. Management is currently seeking additional financing; however no assurances can be made that such financing will be consummated. The continuation of the Company as a going concern is dependent upon its ability to obtain financing, and to use the proceeds from any such financing to increase its business to achieve profitable operations. The accompanying financial statements do not include any adjustments that would result should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern. Note 2. Significant Accounting Policies The accounting policies followed by the Company are set forth in Note 2 to the Company's financial statements in the December 31, 2002 Form 10-KSB. Note 3. Restructuring Charges The Company has temporarily put on hold its development of providing real time e-commerce communications in petroleum marketing and energy services. As a result management has taken a write off of inventory of $499,749 and equipment deposit of $752,500 in the second quarter of 2003. Note 4. Basic and Diluted Loss Per Share Basic loss per share reflects the amount of loss for the period attributable to each share of common stock outstanding during the reporting period. Diluted loss per share reflects basic loss per share, while giving effect to all dilutive potential common shares that were outstanding during the period, such as common shares that could result from the potential exercise or conversion of securities into common stock. The computation of diluted loss per share does not assume conversion, exercise, or contingent issuance of securities that would have an anti- dilutive effect on loss per share (i.e. reducing loss per share). The dilutive effect, if any, of outstanding options and warrants and their equivalents would be reflected in dilutive earnings per share by the application of the treasury stock method which recognizes the use of proceeds that could be obtained upon the exercise of operations and warrants in computing diluted earnings per share. It assumes that any proceeds would be used to purchase common stock at the average market price of the common stock during the period. For the nine months ended September 30, 2003 and 2002, all of the Company's potential common shares were anti-dilutive and a dual presentation of loss per share is not required. At September 30, 2003 there were 300,000 authorized and un-issued options outstanding which could dilute future earnings per share. Note 5. Advances and Notes - Related Parties The Company has borrowed monies from related parties to fund operations. At September 30, 2003 the balance owed to affiliates was $111,606. Currently, there are no interest or repayment terms for the debt and it is treated as if due on demand. In April 2003 the former CEO and board members made arrangements to have a standby letter of credit issued by a bank in the amount of $500,000 to secure a loan in the amount of $328,000 with 5% interest and to guarantee performance and payment of a consulting agreement in the amount of $150,000, both obligations are due in 6 months. The loans have been secured by stock owned by the affiliates and guarantees by the affiliates. The company used $240,000 of these proceeds to satisfy the application and commitment fees related to the bond financing and standby letter of credit. The loan is currently in default and there are ongoing discussions to covert this debt into preferred equity of The Company. Note 6. Stockholders' Equity - Issuance of Common Stock On January 27,2003, the Company affected a 150:1 reverse split of its common stock. At the same time, the Company amended its certificate of incorporation authorizing it to issue 105,000,000 shares of capital stock, of which 5,000,000 shares are classified as preferred stock, par value of $.01 per share, issuable in one or more series and 100,000,000 shares are classified as common stock, par value $.01. All periods presented have been restated to reflect the 150:1 reverse split of common stock. In February 2003, an additional 23,334 shares of common stock were issued to a consultant to finalize a settlement of a civil suit. 6 Note 7. New Authoritative Accounting Pronouncements In April 2003, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No 149, "Amendment of Statement 133 on Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities" ("FASB 149"), which clarifies financial accounting and reporting for derivative instruments, including certain derivative instruments embedded in other contracts and for hedging activities, under FASB Statement No. 133, "Accounting For Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities." SFAS No. 149 is effective for contracts entered into or modified after June 30, 2003 and for hedging relationships designated after June 30, 2003. In May 2003, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 150, "Accounting for Certain financial Instruments with Characteristics of both Liabilities and Equity" ("SFAS 150"), which established standards for how an issuer classifies and measures certain financial instruments. SFAS 150 requires that an issuer classify certain financial instruments as liabilities (or assets in some circumstances) that were previously classified as equity. Financial instruments which embody an unconditional obligation requiring the issuer to redeem or repurchase it by the transfer of assets or by issuing a variable number of its equity shares must be classified as a liability. SFAS 150 is effective for financial instruments entered into or modified after May 31, 2003, and otherwise is effective at the beginning of the first interim period beginning after June 15, 2003. Note 8. Stock-Based Compensation The Company accounts for stock-based employee compensation under the measurement principles of APB Opinion No. 25 " Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees" and related interpretations. The following table illustrates the effect on Net Income and Earnings (Loss) per share if the Company had applied the fair value recognition provisions of FASB Statement No 123 to stock-based employee compensation: Three Months Nine Months Ended September 30, Ended September 30, ----------------------------- ------------------------------ 2003 2002 2003 2002 ------------ ----------- ------------- ----------- Net Loss, as reported $ (185,938) $(1,228,674) $ (1,974,549) $(2,975,417) Add: Stock-based employee compensation expense as reported (--) -- (--) 455,561 Deduct: Stock-based employee compensation expense determined under the fair value based method -- (474,837) -- (563,391) ----------- ----------- ------------- ----------- Pro- Forma Net Loss $ (185,938) $(1,228,674) $ (1,974,549) $(3,083,244) =========== =========== ============= =========== Basic and Diluted Loss per Share: As Reported $ (.08) $ (.82) $ (.86) $ (2.22) Pro Forma $ (.08) $ (.82) $ (.86) $ (2.29) 7 Note 9. Contingencies and Legal Proceedings. The following is a summary of pending legal proceedings to which we are a party and our property is subject. Any judgments recorded, were default judgments from the inability of FuelNation to properly fund and/or defend the allegations in the complaint. The company has recently retained legal counsel to represent our interests in these cases and all options are being researched. We believe that the ultimate resolution of these claims, to the extent not previously provided for, will not have a material adverse effect on our financial condition. However, an adverse outcome of any one or more of these matters could have a material effect on quarterly or annual operating results or cash flows. On July 25, 2002 the Company was served with a civil action from one of the four individual note holders, Peter Gianoukas vs. FuelNation Inc. (Docket No. L4202-02 in the Superior Court of New Jersey), in the principal amount of $11,541. The note has been repurchased by the company and the case has been dismissed with Prejudice. Additional information is available in Subsequent events below. On December 2, 2002 in a case entitled Richard Maddox vs. FuelNation Inc. (CASE#02-22492-CACE-25) Broward County, Florida (17th Judicial Circuit), the Company was named as a defendant by a shareholder in a securities-related suit for money damages in the amount of $25,000 based on allegations of unjust enrichment. The company has entered into a stipulation for settlement with the shareholder, and paid a $1,500 fee for the right to extend the buy back of the shares until January 15, 2004. On January 17, 2003 the Company was served with a civil suit from Andrew Telsey vs. FuelNation Inc. (Case# 03-001019-CACE-11) Broward County, Florida (17th Judicial Circuit).

Responsive pleadings in defense of the claim have been filed, including affirmative defenses. The parties are now engaged in pre-trial discovery with no trial date scheduled. The Company deems the lawsuit frivolous and without merit and is pondering the filing of a counterclaim. On February 28, 2003 the Company was served with a civil suit from Exodus Resources, Inc. vs FuelNation Inc. and Chris Salmonson (Case# 03-5178-CA-06) Dade County, Florida (11th Judicial Circuit). The Company and former CEO were named as co-defendants, jointly and severally, by a shareholder in a securities related suit for money damages exceeding $15,000.00 (plus special damages) based on allegations of breach of fiduciary duty and fraud. Responsive pleadings in defense of the claim have been filed, including affirmative defenses. The parties are now engaged in pre-trial discovery with no trial date scheduled. The Company deems the lawsuit frivolous and without merit and is pondering the filing of a counterclaim. In April 2003, our independent auditors received a request from the SEC seeking the production of documents in connection with an informal investigation. The Company has not received the notice The Company cannot predict when this investigation will be completed, nor can it predict what the results of this investigation may be. It is possible that the Company will be required to pay fines, consent to injunctions on future conduct, or suffer other penalties, each of which could have a material adverse effect on its business. The Company cannot assure you that the effects and result of this investigation will not be material and adverse to its business, financial condition and liquidity. As of the date of this filing, there have been no subsequent requests for information. 8 Note 10. Subsequent Events In December 2003 FuelNation entered into a Fuel Supply Agreement with ALKHALIFA PETROLEUM CORP., a Florida for Profit Corporation, 100% owned and controlled by FuelNation's director Sheikh Isa Mohammed Isa Al-Khalifa. The company has entered into this relationship with ALKHALIFA PETROLEUM CORP., to allow Sheikh Isa Mohammed Isa Al-Khalifa to use his Petroleum relationships and Contacts to negotiate the most favorable terms on fuel supply and provide the company the necessary credit in order to receive the supplies of fuel to implement our business plan and maintain a competitive pricing on fuel. In addition to the Fuel Supply Contract, Sheikh Isa Mohammed Isa Al-Khalifa has made arrangements for FuelNation to receive a marketing and advertising allowance for a period of 10 years, commencing with the term of the fuel supply agreement. The marketing and advertising allowance will pay FuelNation $200,000 per month for a total of $2,400,000 annually for a period of 10 years. This lease allows the fuel supplier the right to advertise on site and is additional consideration to FuelNation for agreeing to execute a fuel supply agreement. In order to assist FuelNation with additional financing's we have asked that the obligations for the 10 year marketing and advertising lease agreement be secured by a documentary letter of credit issued by one of the world's top banks. The marketing and advertising lease is contingent upon the closing of the Travel Center project and the lease will commence January 2004 through January 2014. In November 2003 the company authorized the issuance of up to 30,000 shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock. Because this offering is limited to accredited investors in reliance upon exemptions contained in the Securities Act of 1933 ("Securities Act") and Rule 506 promulgated thereunder and applicable state securities laws, the Shares are being sold without registration under the Securities Act. The price per Share is $1,000.00 ("Original Purchase Price"). Each Preferred share will always maintain a conversion ratio to common stock such that the percentage of ownership in the Company represented by one share of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock is constant. One share of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock is equal to .00255% of the total issued and fully diluted common stock of the Company. The Series A Convertible Preferred Stock upon issuance of all 30,000 shares will maintain 76.5% percent ownership and votes on a fully diluted basis. The common shareholders would then maintain 23.5% of the votes. Non-cumulative dividends on the Series A Preferred will be at the rate of 8% per share per annum ("Dividends"). Dividends will be payable only if, as and when declared by the Board of Directors ("Board"). The Company intends to file a registration statement and have the preferred shares trade on an exchange. Upon the registration statement for the preferred shares becoming effective, and the preferred shares becoming tradable, the conversion feature and the anti-dilution will be removed from the shares. In November 2003 the Company has been in discussions with certain investors and common shareholders to Convert their common stock and invest in the Preferred share offering. Because this offering is limited to accredited investors in reliance upon exemptions contained in the Securities Act of 1933 ("Securities Act") and Rule 506 promulgated there under and applicable state securities laws, the Shares are being sold without registration under the Securities Act. All applicable filings and or disclosures will be filed. On November 10, 2003 FuelNation executed a Consulting agreement with Waterville Investment Research located at 1641 Third Avenue, 15A, New York, NY 10128. The Term of the agreement is for one year commencing until November 20, 2004. The company operates a research and public relations Firm with a web site located at(www.watervilleresearch.com).

The cost to the company is 25 restricted preferred shares at a value of $25,000 dollars and $500.00 dollars in cash. On October 21, 2003, the Company and the controlling shareholders Successfully entered into a SHARE SALE AND CONTRIBUTION AGREEMENT WITH BRAUSER REAL ESTATE, LLC. ("Brauser"). WHEREAS, BRAUSER wishes to acquire, develop and finance the Travel Center Project in Davie, Florida [see August 2003 subsequent event note] and simultaneously contract with FuelNation to purchase the facility, From BRAUSER, with assumption of the debt and the issuance of common and Preferred Shares for the BRAUSER equity; and WHEREAS, BRAUSER wishes to acquire from the Controlling Shareholder's and the Company a sufficient number of shares of common Stock, and to be issued Series A Convertible Preferred stock, to provide BRAUSER With ownership of fifty-one percent (51%) of the issued and outstanding shares of Common stock of the Company (the "Shares") for his equity contribution not to Exceed twenty million dollars. As of December 03, 2003 BRAUSER and FuelNation's Director Sheikh Isa Mohammed Isa Al-Khalifa have signed and executed a loan commitment in the amount of $20,000,000 dollars for the acquisition of the land. Discussions with the lender are ongoing to increase the loan an additional $18,000,000 dollars, immediately after the closing on the purchase of the land, for the construction of the Travel Center, which is contingent on the land closing. In September 2003 FuelNation authorized the issuance of a one-year subordinated promissory note which accrues interest at the rate of 18% in the amount of $1,000,000. The note will be convertible into $0.50 cent shares of FuelNation common stock at the option of the holder. The Company has agreed to replace the note issuance with the Series A Convertible Preferred stock as described above. In September 2003 three of the current convertible debt holders were issued one-year subordinated promissory notes, as described above, in the amount of $48,823, in settlement of their original notes totaling $24,412 as described above. The Company has agreed to replace the note issuance with the Series A Convertible Preferred stock as described above and cancel the note issuance. In August 2003, FuelNation Travel Center, LLC ("FNTC"), a special purpose corporation, changed issuers for the bond offering because of the inability of the prior lender to satisfy our requirements and investors concerns. The new issuer for the bonds is a political body and one of the top bond issuers in the state of Florida. As of November 2003 we will be borrowing construction financing from a lending institution and issuing bonds to pay off the construction lender. In July 2003 The company has entered into a stipulation for settlement with a shareholder and has agreed to buy back the shares prior to January 15, 2004 in a case entitled Richard Maddox vs. FuelNation Inc. (CASE#02-22492-CACE-25) Broward County, Florida (17th Judicial Circuit). 9 ITEM 2.

OVERVIEW AND ONGOING RESTRUCTURING DISCUSSED FuelNation Inc. ("we," "us," "our," "FuelNation" or the "Company"), a Florida-based development stage corporation which was incorporated in Florida in 1993. We are planning to build and develop a portfolio of real estate assets with our concept of the "Super Store" of Travel Centers across The United States. We have also been engaged in the development of providing real-time e-commerce communications in petroleum marketing and energy services. 10 BUSINESS MODEL DISCUSSED FROM 2000 TO PRESENT 2000 TO 2001 The Company's business model since the change of management and control in October 2000, is to penetrate the petroleum market through the acquisition of well established petroleum marketers and their existing fuel supply base regionally. We assembled and developed leading edge technology that provided the company the necessary management controls and inventory tracking in order to execute our proposed business plan. Development partnerships were established with the leading equipment suppliers, satellite and telephone companies, transportation companies, petroleum companies and petroleum marketers. The controls developed to manage the acquisitions were installed at key locations in the United States as well as Manama, Bahrain in the Middle East. Data servers were installed in Lexington, Kentucky at Echosat Communications, a leading satellite and full service communications company, and in Manama, Bahrain at Batelco, a full service telephone company throughout the entire Middle East. The data servers were installed to collect, store and manage data in a secured, centralized environment to execute an efficient management of petroleum acquisitions. Installations were installed at no charge in several of the worlds leading oil Company location's in order to test and develop live data through the networks and provide a fee based automation service to the industry. Commitments for financing for the first potential acquisitions were issued by EMAC Enterprise Mortgage Acceptance Corporation) in the amount of $20 million dollars. These funds were to acquire portions of our first acquisitions based in Mount Vernon, Missouri. These acquisitions would have given FuelNation the management and industry talent with two generations of experience, along with market penetration to execute the business plan. EMAC for whatever reasons was unable to complete the funding and has subsequently went out of business. The acquisition was put on hold and alternative financing was being pursued. Commitments were signed for additional financing in the amount of $35 million dollars in equity financing. This financing was arranged by and through Westminster Securities and final documents were executed on September 06, 2001. FuelNation was required to register the securities for sale prior to the funding. In the next five days September 11, 2001, and the terrorist events that followed, forced the company to seek an alternate means of financing because the equity would have been too dilutive to the common stockholders. 2002 TO 2003 In early 2002 we paid fees and signed a commitment with Sovereign Funding, LLC to issue taxable revenue Bonds in the amount of $330 million dollars. Sovereign had represented that they would be issuing the bonds through Public Agencies as defined in Chapter 163, Florida Statutes, means a political subdivision, agency, or officer of this state or of any state of the United States, and of any commonwealth, territory, possession, or protectorate of the United States. Financings are made available outside the Area of Operation of the Authority by utilizing Interlocal Agreements with Public Agencies which have geographical jurisdiction for the project to be financed. Financing can be provided for any "Project" as defined in the ordinance. We negotiated and agreed to have an Interlocal agreement issued from Middletown, Ohio through one of our proposed petroleum marketing acquisition candidates. The Interlocal agreement was approved and Sovereign Funding required FuelNation to pay Sovereign a fee in the amount of 3.5% of the Bond funding amount. On July 29, 2002, FuelNation entered into a letter agreement with Sheikh Isa Mohammed Isa Al-Khalifa, a director of the Company, to provide a cost of issuance and shortfall letter of credit for the Company's proposed $330 million taxable municipal bond issue in amounts equal to approximately 3.5% (three and one half percent) of the bond amount for a total of approximately $10,500,000 in three installments of approximately $3,500,000. FuelNation was to issue a taxable Municipal Bond Issue in the amount of $330,000,000 USD in three series, A,B,C of approximately $110,000,000 each, for the purpose of developing a public purpose travel and transportation center in Davie, Florida and the acquisition and consolidation of five (5) petroleum marketers/petroleum transporters and centralize the acquisitions with automation and tracking of petroleum from the state of Ohio. FuelNation was using a Public Agency, as defined in Chapter 163, Florida Statutes for the bond issuance with an Interlocal agreement between a public agency in Ohio and Florida. On August 15, 2002 the company issued a press release to announce the funding and the bond commitment was signed and all monies for the fees were raised. Three hours after the press release the CEO and President was arrested and all company operations and financings came to a complete stop and the then current CEO and President voluntarily agreed to step down from his role as an officer of the company and defend a personal legal battle, unrelated to the company as is further detailed in the filing. The CEO and President denies that he has committed any offense or violation of law and has assured the Company that he will vigorously defend himself against the charges made against him. 11 2003 TO PRESENT In January 2003 FuelNation incorporated a new single purpose entity named FuelNation Travel Center, LLC (FNTC) in order to enter into a modified and new financing commitment with Sovereign Funding, LLC to fund $100 million of the $330 million in taxable revenue bonds. The manager and 100% owner of FNTC is William Schlecht, who is also a director of the Company. In January 2003, Mr. Schlecht entered into an agreement with the Company pursuant to which he agreed to assign his membership interests in FNTC and remain as manager of FNTC until completion of the funding, in exchange for the issuance of 100,000 shares of FuelNation common stock. FuelNation was required to pay application and commitment fees for the bond issuance in the amount of $328,000 dollars and provide prepayment of interest for the bonds in the form of a letter of credit for the Company's proposed $100 million dollar taxable revenue bond issue in amounts equal to approximately 3.5% (three and one half percent) of the bond amount. In April 2003 Gerald Brauser, an investor, advanced on behalf of FuelNation Travel Center, LLC the necessary fees and commitment monies to Sovereign Funding, LLC. During the next six months Gerald Brauser provided proof of the resources to Sovereign Funding, LLC of his ability to issue the funds for closing to pay all costs for the taxable revenue bond and paid $328,000 in fees to Sovereign Funding, LLC. FuelNation's due diligence discovered that Sovereign Funding, LLC had funded a Prior taxable revenue bond, November 2002 and that Sovereign Funding was unable to deliver the Appropriate credit enhancement to allow the borrowers to draw funds from the bond Issue. FuelNation elected to terminate the business relationship with Sovereign Funding, LLC and requested a full refund of all fees and expenses paid to Sovereign Funding, LLC and approached the Public Agency directly for a bond issuance. In September 2003 Gerald Brauser, the owner of BRAUSER REAL ESTATE, LLC, committed to purchase the land for the Travel Center from the owner Jolmy Enterprises, Inc., and convey the purchase of the Property to FuelNation in exchange for 51% ownership of the issued and outstanding shares of FuelNation, as is further detailed in the October 21, 2003, SHARE SALE AND CONTRIBUTION AGREEMENT WITH BRAUSER REAL ESTATE, LLC. Gerald Brauser has paid an at risk deposit on the contract to the owner of the property in the amount of $850,000 dollars and has retained the services of Plana International Corp. Attention: Jaime Plana for the design and architectural services related to the project. All site plan submissions and fuel designs have been submitted to the appropriate authorities for approval. In November 2003 Mr. Brauser and Sheikh Isa Mohammed Isa Al-Khalifa signed a commitment with a New Jersey based, construction lender for the amount of $20 million dollars. Mr. Brauser advanced a non-refundable commitment fee in the amount of $225,000 dollars, which has been paid and he has agreed to pay an additional $400,000 at closing of the loan as per the commitment. The attorneys are currently working on the due diligence check list and providing all of the necessary documentation as required to complete the lenders requirements and to close the purchase. In December 2003 Mr. Brauser and Sheikh Isa Mohammed Isa Al-Khalifa agreed to fund the cost of issuance and prepay the interest on the issuance of $25 million dollars of Taxable Secured Revenue notes, Series 2003A for the FuelNation Travel Center project. The Issuer will be a Public Agency, as defined in Chapter 163, Florida Statutes for the bond. Mr. Brauser has agreed to pay for the cost of issuance and the first year of interest in the amount of approximately $750,000 dollars. Sheikh Isa Mohammed Isa Al-Khalifa has agreed to have a letter of credit issued from a major financial banking institution which maintains a credit Rating of "AA" or better for the rating and guarantee of repayment on the bonds. Mr. Brauser and Sheikh Isa Mohammed Isa Al-Khalifa intend to secure an additional $75 million dollars from the same series of Taxable Secured Revenue notes in order to complete the second and third phases of construction. The Note issuer has provided the necessary documentation including the loan agreement, trust indenture and the escrow agreement to make the deposit of the $750,000 dollars to start the issuance of the notes. Mr. Brauser and Sheikh Isa Mohammed Isa Al-Khalifa are attempting to execute the documents before year end 2003. UPON completion of the conditions in the SHARE SALE AND CONTRIBUTION AGREEMENT WITH BRAUSER REAL ESTATE, LLC. the business for FuelNation will be conducted through two divisions, "Super Store" Travel Center Division ("Travel Center"), and the "Super" Petroleum Marketing Division ("Petroleum Marketing"). The "Super Store" Travel Center Division. FuelNation plans to build the "SuperStore" of Travel Centers in the state of Florida and additional locations in key states. We have focused our attention to the needs of the industry and our location planning to the most populous areas in the state. The plans for the first location currently consist of three phases of construction. PHASE I - (ESTIMATED COMPLETION AND OPENING MAY 01, 2004) - Begins project construction with a 40,000 sf Travel Center where we will feed our guests in a 10,000 sf all you can eat buffet restaurant. Additional areas will house 20,000 sf of drivers lounge, food service, and grocery store. Attached to the Travel Center will be a tunnel type car wash. Two convenience stores will be located at the fueling islands. The large fueling facility will have a 24 pump diesel fueling depot capable of filling left and right side truck tanks simultaneously and a 10 pump automotive fueling area able to fuel 20 cars at once. Phase I includes a state of the art 210 foot long truck and bus wash by InterClean, weight scales, and 311 tractor trailer parking slots. 12 PHASE II (ESTIMATED CONSTRUCTION START DATE JUNE 2004) - 190,000 sf Travel Center and Office building complete with multiple restaurants, retail stores and Class "A" office space with an adjacent three story parking garage. PHASE III (ESTIMATED CONSTRUCTION START DATE DECEMBER 2004)- Additional 190,000 sf Luxury 200 room hotel. The site selected for the first FuelNation Travel Center is currently located in an area that is overseen by a Community Redevelopment Agency (CRA). This location was studied and selected as an ideal location in the "Final Report; Commercial Vehicle Driver Survey, Truck Stop Terminal Facility Research Project", dated March 1999. The site is approximately 5 miles west of Port Everglades and Fort Lauderdale/Hollywood International Airport. The port has unbeatable connections through the adjacent Fort Lauderdale/Hollywood International Airport and the direct links with all of Florida's highway system via I-595. Almost all gasoline, aviation and power plant fuel consumed in South Florida enters through the seaport, which has reached its capacity. We not only intend to cater to the traveling public we fully intend to offer our products to the local community as well. The Travel Center will boast a fresh deli and market, grocery store and open shop environment with local community operators. There will be several full service and fast food restaurants, almost every type of service needed for the transportation and tourism industry. Car and truck washes and full service repair facilities for cars as well as tractor-trailers. Complete medical, hair stylist, entertainment, clothing, electronics, new truck sales, and most major transportation parts and warranty representatives on site. Shuttles and limousine service will be available to and from most of the major attractions and transportation hubs. Parking will be in great abundance as well as hospitality with our 200-room hotel. There has been a tremendous difficulty in raising money to execute our complete business plan during the past 2 years. We have been approached by several lenders introducing financing proposals, which only addressed our short term, not long term needs. We have placed all technology development on hold until we are able to obtain financing. In light of all the changes in the economy, energy markets, national security, stock and money markets we have been actively positioning the company for these current and upcoming changes. We have identified the ability to finance future growth and acquisitions with Secured Taxable Revenue Notes for approved "Public Purpose Projects". Public Purpose Projects means "any capital project which furthers the purposes of the ordinance, whether real or personal property, including any building, land, fixture, vehicle, equipment, facility, streets, transportation facilities, street lighting, sidewalks, drainage, sewers, water and utility systems, power facilities, community facilities, health facilities, recreational facilities, security, public lodging facilities, educational facilities, etc.." Our revised business plan and note financing application in the amount of $25 million with an increase of an additional $75 million for a total of $100 million allows us to integrate and execute our business plan using "Public Purpose Projects" which create jobs, development, expansion, education and additional revenue for municipalities. Our first "Public Purpose Project" is to build the "Super Store" of Travel Centers starting in the state of Florida. FuelNation will work jointly with local universities to provide on site accredited studies and college credits for students and faculty that train at our location. The professors will be assigned to key projects at our site, i.e., food and beverage, hotel and hospitality, chemical engineering, transportation and marketing. The professors will work with graduate students and students in part time positions to earn college credits and on the job training. The relationship with the universities gives us wide selection of qualified assistance and supervised training. It also gives additional assistance with the development of our communications platform with the complete use of the universities resources. The "Super" Petroleum Marketing Division. We intend to consolidate several petroleum marketers and automate their existing customer base with real time e-commerce solutions to create a "Super" Petroleum Marketer. The first phase of our expansion plan will be supplying fuel and offering our automation to existing branded and unbranded sites for long established petroleum marketers. The second phase will be aligning our e-commerce automation with transportation lines to roll-out the FuelNation Brand and identity with unmatched e-commerce and automation. The third phase will be to identify key assets in the petroleum marketing industry and acquire them. We have developed proprietary technology that allows us to provide fully integrated services relating to the inventory, sales, distribution and financial reporting functions in the fuel industry. Marketed under the service mark R2R(SM) ("Rack to Retail"), this technology completely automates and streamlines the data collection processes for centralization, retrieval and integration of inventory, financial and accounting information in the fuel industry. The following information is intended to highlight developments in our operations, to present our results of operations to date, our plan of operation, to identify key trends affecting our business and to identify other factors affecting our business for the nine month periods ended September 30, 2003 and 2002. 13 Results of Operations Comparison of Results of Operations for the nine and three month periods ended September 30, 2003 and 2002 We generated no revenues during the nine and three month periods ended September 30, 2003 and 2002 and it is not anticipated that we will be able to generate any revenues in the foreseeable future unless and until we finalize our financing and begin building the travel center and marketing our technology to petroleum marketers or otherwise acquire an existing entity which generates revenues and profits. Total operating expenses were $ 180,969 for the three months ended September 30, 2003, compared to $ 1,224,868 for the three months ended September 30, 2002. The expenses incurred during the three-month period ended September 30, 2003 arose primarily from salaries and wages ($75,247), consulting fees-related party ($55,384) and other general and administrative expenses ($31,270). These expenses decreased in 2003 over the same period in 2002, primarily due to impairment loss of technology of $891,749, decrease in non-cash consulting fees of 57,740 and a reduction in the employment of staff to support the related technology which resulted in a decrease in salaries and wages of $109,464. Additionally, we incurred interest expense of $4,969 in 2003 compared with interest expense of $8,937 in 2002. As a result, we incurred a net loss of $185,938 for the three months ended September 30, 2003,compared to a Net Loss of $1,228,674 for three months ended September 30, 2002. Total operating expenses were $ 1,963,067 for the nine months ended September 30, 2003, compared to $ 2,957,711 for the nine months ended September 30, 2002. The expenses incurred during the nine-month period ended September 30, 2003 arose primarily from salaries and wages ($227,468), professional and consulting fees ($110,452), consulting fees-related party ($166,152) write down of inventory ($499,749), loss on equipment deposit ($752,500) and other general and administrative expenses ($112,146). These expenses decreased in 2003 over the same period in 2002, primarily due to impairement loss on technology of $891,747, decrease in non-cash consulting fees of $640,661, decrease in non-cash employee compensation of $455,561, a reduction of employment of staff to support the related technology which resulted in a decrease in salaries and wages of $308,082 and reducing general and administrative expenses which resulted in a decrease of $28,094. This was offset by loss of equipment deposit of $752,500 in 2003, Additionally, we incurred interest expense of $11,482 in 2003 compared with interest expense of $25,817 in 2002. As a result, we incurred a net loss of $1,974,549 for the nine months ended September 30, 2003, compared to a Net Loss of $2,975,414 for nine months ended September 30, 2002. PLAN OF OPERATION Because we have not generated any revenues as of the date of this Report, we hereby submit our Plan of Operation pursuant to the requirements of Regulation SB, promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. Our objective is to be the leading "Super" Petroleum Marketer engaged in the development of providing petroleum supply with e-commerce communications in petroleum marketing and energy services and to build and develop a portfolio of real estate assets with our concept of the "Super Store" of Travel Centers across the United States. We intend to accomplish this goal, grow our business, enhance earnings and improve our return on capital by executing the following strategies, which we believe capitalize on our existing competitive strengths. The Company's business model will be conducted through two subsidiaries, "Super" Petroleum Marketing Division ("Marketing Division"), and the "Super Store" Travel Center Division ("Travel Center"). The Company will execute the Travel Center division first because the financing and capital investment is in place and is ready to implement. It will also be our centralized operations center and headquarters. We intend to focus our direction on generating income from operations and fuel supply immediately. Our concept in the Travel Center has never been tested or implemented any where else in the world. We are installing 24 side-by-side fueling lanes for diesel fueling, which is the largest diesel fueling depot open to the public in the world. We intend to lease fueling lanes to major oil companies, national and regional trucking companies, municipalities, bus and tour operators and large fleet accounts. The price will not be the driving factor in our operations, fuel lanes will be leased and fuel supplied and managed on behalf of the customers. Our income will be constant with the leased fuel lanes and not subject to market fluctuations and competitive pricing. Each and every leased fuel lane will be able to manage their own pricing and we will manage the facility and provide all of the amenities on site. We have been signing up marketing and advertising contracts to start generating income before the grand opening of the Travel Center. The "Super Store" Travel Center Division. FuelNation plans to build the "Super Store" of Travel Centers in the state of Florida and additional locations in key states. We have focused our attention to the needs of the industry and our location planning to the most populous areas in the state. The plans for the first location currently consist of three phases of construction. 14 PHASE I - (ESTIMATED COMPLETION AND OPENING MAY 01, 2004) - Begins project construction with a 40,000 sf Travel Center where we will feed our guests in a 10,000 sf all you can eat buffet restaurant. Additional areas will house 20,000 sf of drivers lounge, food service, and grocery store. Attached to the Travel Center will be a tunnel type car wash. Two convenience stores will be located at the fueling islands. The large fueling facility will have a 24 pump diesel fueling depot capable of filling left and right side truck tanks simultaneously and a 10 pump automotive fueling area able to fuel 20 cars at once. Phase I includes a state of the art 210 foot long truck and bus wash by InterClean, weight scales, and 311 tractor trailer parking slots. PHASE II (ESTIMATED CONSTRUCTION START DATE JUNE 2004) - 190,000 sf Travel Center and Office building complete with multiple restaurants, retail stores and Class "A" office space with an adjacent three story parking garage. PHASE III (ESTIMATED CONSTRUCTION START DATE DECEMBER 2004)- Additional 190,000 sf Luxury 200 room hotel. The "Super" Petroleum Marketing Division. We intend to consolidate petroleum marketers and automate their existing customer base with real time e-commerce solutions. The first phase of our expansion plan will be supplying fuel and offering our automation to existing branded and unbranded sites for long established petroleum marketers. The second phase will be aligning our e-commerce automation with transportation lines to roll-out the FuelNation Brand and identity with unmatched e-commerce and automation. The third phase will be to identify key assets in the petroleum marketing industry and acquire them. We not only intend to cater to the traveling public we fully intend to offer our products to the local community as well. The Travel Center will boast a fresh deli and market, grocery store and open shop environment with local community operators. There will be several full service and fast food restaurants, almost every type of service needed for the transportation and tourism industry. Car and truck washes and full service repair facilities for cars as well as tractor-trailers. Complete medical, hair stylist, entertainment, clothing, electronics, new truck sales, and most major transportation parts and warranty representatives on site. Shuttles and limousine service will be available to and from most of the major attractions and transportation hubs. Grow Through Acquisitions and Discretionary Capital Expenditure Projects. We intend to pursue timely and cost-effective acquisitions of Petroleum Marketers and undertake discretionary capital expenditure projects to improve, upgrade, and potentially expand and automate their distribution. We will pursue opportunities that we believe will be promptly accretive to earnings and improve our return on capital, assuming historic average margins. We believe that the continuing consolidation in our industry, the strategic divestitures by major integrated oil companies will present us with attractive acquisition opportunities. We believe we are well situated to capitalize on these acquisitions and discretionary capital project opportunities. In executing the strategies outlined above, we want to own and operate Travel Centers and Petroleum Marketers, whether they be acquired or supplied in the future, which not only prosper in good market conditions, but are resilient during downturns in the market. We believe this resiliency can be created by, among other things: o being a low-cost operator of safe and reliable petroleum marketing with a continuous focus on controlling cost; o having an inherent cost advantage due to economies of scale, such as the cost advantage which comes from having e-commerce connectivity and centralized processing capabilities; o owning petroleum marketers in strategic geographic locations; and o having the capability to distribute a variety of the fuels required by varying regional fuel specifications. Create an Organization Highly Motivated to Enhance Earnings and Improve Return on Capital. We intend to create an organization in which employees are highly motivated to enhance earnings and improve return on capital. In order to create this motivation, we will adopt a new annual incentive program under which the annual bonus award for every employee in the organization is dependent to a substantial degree upon earnings. The primary parameter for determining bonus awards under the program for our executive officers and our senior level management team members is earnings. The program allows our executive officers and other senior management team members to earn annual bonus awards only if certain predetermined earnings levels are met, and provides significant bonus opportunities if those levels are exceeded. For the remainder of our employees, earnings are a substantial factor which determines whether a bonus pool is available for annual rewards. In approving annual awards under the program, the compensation committee of our board of directors will also consider our return on capital, and our environmental, heath and safety performance. 15 We intend to finance these purchases with construction and institutional lenders. The permanent financing will be secured by the issuance and sale of secured taxable revenue notes. We have been negotiating the issuance of $100,000,000 of secured taxable revenue notes. As of the date of this Report, we have successfully negotiated approval for the issuance of $100,000,000 of secured taxable revenue notes. We have changed issuers for the bond offering because of the inability of the prior lender to satisfy our requirements and investors concerns. We have paid fees for the application, commitment and legal retainers in the amount of $270,000 and are seeking a full refund of these funds from the prior issuer. The new issuer for the bonds is a political body and one of the top bond issuers in the state of Florida. We are in the process of finalizing details for the bond issuance and the first phase of construction. Our concept to build a "Super" Petroleum Marketer has been developed during our live onsite testing and development period over the past two years. The industry has not experienced a substantial consolidation at the Petroleum Marketer level while missing the economies of scale from the consolidation process. Currently there have been limited economical resources or the means to communicate with several hundreds or even thousands of pieces of equipment without being cost prohibitive. At FuelNation we have developed proprietary technology that allows us to provide fully integrated services relating to the inventory, sales, distribution and financial reporting functions in the fuel industry. Marketed under the service mark R2R(SM) ("Rack to Retail"), this technology completely automates and streamlines the data collection processes for centralization, retrieval and integration of inventory, financial and accounting information in the fuel industry. The R2R(sm) technology is an inventory management system that allows multiple point of sales, tank monitors, wireless PDA devices, Internet phones, automated teller machines, back office software, price signs and numerous other equipment manufacturers to integrate and seamlessly exchange data in an open architecture environment without installing computer software. The R2R(sm) technology includes a proprietary router box connected to an existing retail or wholesale location, which automatically collects, integrates and distributes the data, in various formats, to the customer at a centralized location. By utilizing this technology, the pricing, monitoring of sales, inventory status and reordering of fuel can be done remotely including through a remote apparatus such as a PDA. In other words, from a distant location, an R2R(sm) customer can regularly monitor fuel sales on a real-time basis as well as change the pricing at retail fuel pumps to reflect current market conditions. Furthermore, the system enables the automatic reordering of fuel based upon the actual volume of sales and remaining quantity of fuel at the applicable pump. The automated system serves as a significant mechanism for companies to monitor their fuel sales, inventory, and costs. In addition, financial lenders can also have access to the data in order to monitor the operations of their borrowers on a real time basis. We expect to receive fees and/or royalty payments either on a fixed basis per month or on a per gallon basis charge. We intend to license our technology to service stations, truck stops and/or customers that are otherwise involved in the distribution and sale of fuel. We believe that our product offering is unique and is not available via any other method. The industry is a very difficult market to penetrate. We originally started marketing our system to the major oil companies and felt this would give us the immediate market share and the vertical integration we desired. During our sales initiatives we discovered the following: The oil companies' main drive is gallons and market share. The oil companies distribute their products through petroleum marketers, dealers and some company owned stores. The oil companies require the petroleum marketers and the dealers to use their credit card processors. This equipment for the credit card processing is supplied through the oil company and paid by the petroleum marketers and the dealers. The oil companies typically charge 3% processing fee for the use of all credit cards on the network and offer their own branded credit card processing for no charge. The majority of all of the credit card processing is Visa and MasterCard and therefore the burden and costs are passed down the food chain to the petroleum marketers and the dealers for the credit card processing fees. The reporting requirements of the industry are very labor intensive and the burden is always passed down to the petroleum marketers and the dealers. New equipment and programs are usually offered through the major oil companies to the petroleum marketers and the dealers with a percentage of the offering always being rebated back to the oil company. There are other alternative equipment and service suppliers in the industry and they are limited on their entry to the market by being approved and certified to operate on their credit-processing network. Our approach is and will continue to be providing the industry with an open architecture and shared information environment that allows entry to virtually all equipment and service suppliers. Other industries have state of the art communications and networks and first class accounting and reporting packages. We believe the petroleum industry is behind the market by decades. Our entry to the market is being focused on working with major petroleum marketers and dealer networks through consolidation and automation. We have discovered that when several petroleum marketers and dealers are very satisfied with your products and services and they request the major oil companies to approve our products and services, they typically get what they want. This process is not fast, but it is very effective. The oil companies are starting to follow the lead of petroleum marketers and dealer networks because they see the efficiencies first hand. We feel confident the industry will start to make significant changes to the manual processes and allow a more open environment once they see others operating. Given the magnitude of these fuel markets, we completed our B2B applications and automating manual processes. We also intend to find one or more partners to assist in retail sales of the "Super" Petroleum Marketer concept and installation of our R2R system. There are also multiple advertising opportunities that we intend to pursue, including the displaying of our logo at automated locations and on fuel transports. 16 Sales Strategy Our products and services will be marketed through direct and indirect channels. We intend to accomplish our direct selling in several ways, including: - our web sites; - direct sales by our own staff and technology partners; - affiliate programs; - original equipment manufacturers; and - tradeshows. For our indirect sales efforts, we will use independent petroleum marketer resellers. Reseller organizations can offer all of our services. These third party petroleum marketer sales organizations are already involved in marketing to the petroleum industry. Those in the petroleum marketer reseller program purchase our services at a discounted rate and then re-sell them to their clients. They can either use us to bill their customers for these services or invoice their customers under their own name. For petroleum marketer resellers, we believe the key element is residual, transaction-based income. Resellers that manage the entire transactions will receive a per transaction fee, plus sign-up fees if the reseller uses our suggested retail pricing. Many resellers actually charge higher prices when the market will bear it. The use of petroleum marketer resellers allows us to leverage our resources to maximize revenues. By working with companies as resellers, we strategically develop an outside sales organization that already has sound, existing relationships with merchants. These petroleum marketer resellers recognize that income derived from our installation fees and recurring transaction charges provide them with significant revenue potential. Most competitors sell products using a direct sales force. We will use a variety of marketing activities to increase market awareness of our services and educate our target audience. In addition to building awareness of our brand, our marketing activities focus on generating leads for our sales efforts. To build awareness and attract new merchants we conduct marketing and partnership programs including advertising, public relations activities, referral programs, co-branded initiatives, virtual seminars and trade shows. Our vertical integration strategy is to purchase existing petroleum marketers and dealers in key distribution markets. We will focus upon the complete automation of these companies and allow them to continue to operate and consolidate additional marketers in their markets. This approach has been received very favorably and we are in negotiations with several very large marketers on this strategy. However, there can be no assurances that these negotiations will result in our obtaining contracts, or if we obtain these contracts, we will become profitable. If we acquire these entities, the marketers will continue to operate their companies as wholly owned subsidiaries of our Company and we will provide the high-speed networks and communications to their existing facilities and equipment. Our current tests on petroleum marketers to date have shown increases in EBIDTA approaching 30% with the increased efficiencies in automating manual processes, less shrinkage and improved buying power. Data Centers and Network Access Our data center in the United States is located at leased facilities at Echosat in Lexington, Kentucky. A data center is a facility containing servers, modem banks, network circuits and other physical equipment necessary to connect users to the Internet. The data center has multiple levels of redundant connectivity to the Internet, back-up power, fire suppression, seismic reinforcement and security surveillance 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. The current base monthly rent is $2,000 per month, on a month to month basis. Our data center in Manama, Bahrain is located at leased facilities at the local telephone company Batelco. We have suspended all operations in the country of Bahrain until the company is properly capitalized. Our equipment is still installed at the location in Bahrain and we have discontinued our lease in Bahrain until further notice. Our director Shaikh Isa Mohammed Isa Alkhalifa, a resident of Bahrain, was issued shares in 2002 to satisfy any obligations we may have in the country of Bahrain for his guarantee. The technology underlying our e-commerce and Business-to-Business transaction services provides the following benefits: Scalability. Our services allow us to deliver consistent quality of service as transaction volumes grow, and to handle daily and seasonal peak periods. As a result, we do not have to expand these areas of their transaction-processing infrastructure as their businesses grow. High reliability. Our systems are engineered to provide high reliability, and we provide transaction processing and support 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Secure messaging. All communications between our system are facilitated by an encrypted protocol. Real-time responses. Because our services enable online e-commerce and Business-to-Business transactions in real-time, clients can improve their level of customer satisfaction and reduce their support costs by avoiding delayed responses and minimizing the need for follow-up communications. 17 Product Development When appropriate, we utilize third parties to expand the capacity and technical expertise of our internal product development organization. On occasion, we have licensed third-party technology that we feel provides the strongest technical alternative. We believe this approach shortens time-to- market without compromising our competitive position, product quality or service. Trends The US fuel retailing market is the largest single market in the world, accounting for 26% of the global market's value in 2002. The market reached a value of $237 billion in 2002, having grown with a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7.9% in the 1998-2002 period. This growth was considerably stronger than that of the global market itself leading to the US market's share of the wider market increasing by 6.3% between 1998 and 2002, accounting for 26% of the global market by the end of this period. The leading sector of the US's fuel retailing market in 2002 was the gasoline sector, which accounted for 77% of the market. Auto diesel was the second largest sector in the market, whilst automotive LPG is slowly becoming an increasingly important facet of the market (although it still accounts for less than 0.1% of the market in volume terms). During the next five years, the market is expected to experience slowly increasing growth rates, with considerably less fluctuation than experienced between 1998 and 2002. By 2007 the market is forecast to reach a value of $257.3 billion, a CAGR of 1.7% in the 2002-2007 period, slightly higher than the global market's CAGR of 1.5%. The US market's moderately strong growth is highlighted by the slight increase in its share of the global market; from its 26% share in 2002, the market is forecast to account for 26.3% by 2007, a 0.9% increase compared. Our product has been installed and operational at several well established leading petroleum companies in the United States as well as Manama, Bahrain for the past two years. The product has been proven to be very successful and profitable for the petroleum marketers during our development and testing stage. We have studied and surveyed existing and potential customers for a marketing strategy. There can be no assurance that any of our potential products and services can be successfully marketed. Our technology has no historical results upon which to forecast future operations. It is expected that business, operating results and financial condition will be materially adversely affected if revenues do not meet our projections. These trends taken together create a picture of opportunity for our future growth. We anticipate that the vertical integration strategy will bode well for our future, as activity along the entire value chain should increase not just in the domestic sense but globally as well. However, there can be no assurances that this will occur. Inflation Inflation has not had a significant impact on our results of operations and is not anticipated to have a significant negative impact in the foreseeable future. However, there is no assurance that inflation will not have a material adverse impact on our future results of operations. Liquidity and Capital Resources At September 30, 2003, we had a working capital deficit of $2,816,508. For the nine month period ended September 30, 2003, net cash used by operating activities was $88,834. This was primarily attributable to a net loss for the period of $1,974,549 and offset by increase of payables and liabilities of $594,590 and a write -down of inventory of $499,749 and the loss on equipment deposit of $752,000. The company intends to pay off its existing obligations in the approximate amount of $3.1 million from the funding of $100,000,000 secured taxable notes and issuance of preferred shares. It is anticipated that we will, in all likelihood, sustain operating expenses without corresponding revenues, at least until the end of 2004. There is no assurance that we will achieve our expansion goals and the failure to achieve such goals would have an adverse impact on us. In April 2003 the former CEO and board members made arrangements to have a standby letter of credit issued by a bank in the amount of $500,000 to secure a loan in the amount of $328,000 with 5% interest and to guarantee performance and payment of a consulting agreement in the amount of $150,000, both obligations were due in 6 months. The loans have been secured by stock owned by the affiliates and guarantees by the affiliates. The Company is currently negotiating to have an additional standby letter of credit issued for another $100,000,000 to secure additional loans to assist the company in completing the secured taxable note offering. Our success is dependent upon our ability to raise additional capital. As of the date of this Report, we have successfully negotiated a commitment on a $20,000,000 loan for the acquisition of the land. In addition we have verbal commitments that has over subscribed our preferred share offering. We have changed issuers for the bond offering because of the inability of the prior lender to satisfy our requirements and investors concerns. We have paid fees for the application, commitment and legal retainers in the amount of $270,000 and are seeking a full refund of these funds from the prior issuer. The new issuer for the bonds is a political body and one of the top bond issuers in the state of Florida. We are in the process of finalizing details for the bond issuance and the first phase of construction. There can be no assurance that the letter of credit will be attained, that the bond funding will be completed, that the Company will realize sufficient proceeds to complete the Travel Center or that the Company will generate sufficient cash flow from operations to pay for these obligations. We are also in discussions with investment bankers and others to provide or assist in providing additional financing. However, as of the date of this Report, we do not have any written commitments for any additional financing other than the issuance of the $100,000,000 secured taxable notes and the acquisition financing in the amount of $20,000,000 dollars for the land, and no assurance can be given that we will obtain any other additional financing. The failure to infuse any other additional capital into our Company may affect our ability to fully implement our business plan described herein. 18 The current acquisitions in the petroleum marketing industry are on hold until we have additional funding or alternative means of acquiring the companies. Our Success is Dependent upon the Management of Growth. Successful implementation of our business plan will expose us to increased competition, greater overhead, marketing and support costs and other risks associated with entry into new markets and solicitation of new customers. We face all risks which are associated with any new business, such as under-capitalization, cash flow problems, and personnel, financial and resource limitations, as well as special risks associated with our proposed operations. To manage growth effectively, our management will need to implement and continue to improve and expand operational, financial and management information systems and to expand, train, motivate and manage employees. Should we be unable to manage growth effectively, our results of operations could be adversely affected. Our success is subject to the completion of our taxable revenue note issue, however, there can be no assurances that the Company will be successful in acquiring additional capital or that such capital, if available, will be on terms and conditions acceptable to the Company. We are subject to competition. There are several thousand Petroleum Marketers and approximately 4,500 travel plazas and truckstops, and many major oil companies that operate company owned locations. Our travel centers will compete with those in the immediate areas of our centers. The leading B2B ASP providers offer technologies and services related to procurement, supply-chain management, financial services, logistics, Electronic Customer Relationship Management "eCRM", sell- side solutions, back-end integration and enterprise resource planning ("ERP"). We anticipate either B2B ASPs or existing oil companies, or a combination of the two, to scrutinize our products, attempt to replicate their offering and compete directly with us. Many companies that are competitors have longer operating histories, substantially greater financial, technical, marketing or other resources, or greater name recognition than we do. Our competitors may be able to respond more quickly than we can to new or emerging technologies and changes in customer requirements. Competition could seriously impede our ability to sell additional services on terms favorable to us. Our potential competitors may develop and market new technologies that render our existing or future services obsolete, unmarketable or less competitive. Competitive pressures could reduce our market share or require the reduction of the prices of our services, either of which could materially and adversely affect our business, results of operations or financial condition. We Have Not Paid Dividends on our Common Stock and do not Anticipate the Payment of Dividends in the Future. No dividends have been paid on our shares of Common Stock and management does not anticipate the payment of cash dividends in the foreseeable future. If operations become profitable, it is anticipated that, for the foreseeable future, any income received there from would be devoted to future operations and that cash dividends would not be paid to shareholders. We Will Need Additional Personnel to Implement Our Business Plan. We believe that it will be necessary to increase our permanent sales, marketing and administrative staff in order to implement our business plan. Although we believe that necessary additional personnel to staff us is available, there can be no assurance that we will be successful in assembling an effective staff in a timely manner, particularly as we face considerable competition from other companies for such personnel. There can be no assurance that we will be able to attract and retain additional qualified personnel, and any inability to do so could have a material adverse affect on us. Issuance of Future Shares May Dilute Investors Share Value. Our Articles of Incorporation, as amended, authorizes the issuance of 100,000,000 Common Shares, $.01 par value per share, and 5,000,000 Preferred Shares, $.01 par value per share. As of the date of this Report, there are 2,294,493 shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding. The future issuance of all or part of the remaining authorized Common Stock may result in substantial dilution in the percentage of Common Stock held by our then existing shareholders. Moreover, any Common Stock issued in the future may be valued on an arbitrary basis by our Board of Directors. The issuance of shares for future services or acquisitions or other corporate actions may have the effect of diluting the value of the shares held by investors, and might have an adverse effect on our trading market. Our Common Stock is classified as a "Penny Stock," which has Adverse Effects. the Securities and Exchange Commission has adopted Rule 15g-9, which established the definition of a "penny stock," for purposes relevant to us, as any equity security that has a market price of less than $5.00 per share or with an exercise price of less than $5.00 per share, subject to certain exceptions. For any transaction involving a penny stock, unless exempt, the rules require: (i) that a broker or dealer approve a person's account for transactions in penny stocks; and (ii) the broker or dealer receive from the investor a written agreement to the transaction, setting forth the identity and quantity of the penny stock to be purchased. In order to approve a person's account for transactions in penny stocks, the broker or dealer must (i) obtain financial information and investment experience and objectives of the person; and (ii) make a reasonable determination that the transactions in penny stocks are suitable for that person and that person has sufficient knowledge and experience in financial matters to be capable of evaluating the risks of transactions in penny stocks. The broker or dealer must also deliver, prior to any transaction in a penny stock, a disclosure schedule prepared by the Commission relating to the penny stock market, which, in highlight form, (i) sets forth the basis on which the broker or dealer made the suitability determination; and (ii) that the broker or dealer received a signed, written agreement from the investor prior to the transaction. Disclosure also has to be made about the risks of investing in penny stock in both public offering and in secondary trading, and about 19 commissions payable to both the broker-dealer and the registered representative, current quotations for the securities and the rights and remedies available to an investor in cases of fraud in penny stock transactions. Finally, monthly statements have to be sent disclosing recent price information for the penny stock held in the account and information on the limited market in penny stocks. The foregoing required penny stock restrictions currently apply to our Common Stock. If our Common Stock is ever approved for listing on a national stock exchange, it would have certain price and volume information provided on a current and continuing basis. While it is management's intention to have our Common Stock approved for trading on a national stock exchange in the future, we currently do not qualify under the various listing criteria for such listing. There can be no assurances that any of our securities will qualify for exemption from these restrictions in the future. Because our Common Stock is subject to the rules on penny stocks, the market liquidity for our Common Stock has been severely adversely affected. Critical Accounting Policies The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management of the Company to make assumptions, estimates and judgments that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements, including the notes thereto, and related disclosures of commitments and contingencies, if any. The Company considers its critical accounting policies to be those that require the more significant judgments and estimates in the preparation of the Company's financial statements, including the following: impairment of long-lived assets; capitalized technology costs and accounting for expenses in connection with stock issuances, stock options and warrants. Management relies on historical experience and on other assumptions believed to be reasonable under the circumstances in making its judgment and estimates. Actual results could differ materially from those estimates. There have been no significant changes in the assumptions, estimates and judgments in the preparation of these financial statements from the assumptions, estimates and judgments used in the preparation of the Company's prior years audited financial statements. ITEM 3. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES. DISCLOSURE CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES The Company carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and participation of the Company's Chief Executive Officer and acting Chief Financial Officer (the "Officers") of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company's disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this quarterly report pursuant to Securities Exchange Act Rule 13a-14. Based upon that evaluation, the Officers concluded that the Company's disclosure controls and procedures are effective in timely alerting them to material information relating to the Company required to be included in the Company's periodic SEC filings, including this report. INTERNAL CONTROLS There were no significant changes made in the Company's internal controls or in other factors that could significantly affect these controls subsequent to the date of their evaluation. PART II. OTHER INFORMATION ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS. The following is a summary of pending legal proceedings to which we are a party and our property is subject. Any judgments recorded, were default judgments from the inability of FuelNation to properly fund and/or defend the allegations in the complaint. The company has recently retained legal counsel to represent our interests in these cases and all options are being researched. We believe that the ultimate resolution of these claims, to the extent not previously provided for, will not have a material adverse effect on our financial condition. However, an adverse outcome of any one or more of these matters could have a material effect on quarterly or annual operating results or cash flows. On July 25, 2002 the Company was served with a civil action from one of the four individual note holders, Peter Gianoukas vs. FuelNation Inc. (Docket No. L4202-02 in the Superior Court of New Jersey), in the amount of $11,541 principal amount. The note has been repurchased by the company and the case has been dismissed with Prejudice. On December 2, 2002 in a case entitled Richard Maddox vs. FuelNation Inc. (CASE#02-22492-CACE-25) Broward County, Florida (17th Judicial Circuit), the Company was named as a defendant by a shareholder in a securities-related suit for money damages in the amount of $25,000 based on allegations of unjust enrichment. The company has entered into a stipulation for settlement with the shareholder, and paid a $1,500 fee for the right to extend the buy back of the shares until January 15, 2004. On January 17, 2003 the Company was served with a civil suit from Andrew Telsey vs. FuelNation Inc. (Case# 03-001019-CACE-11) Broward County, Florida (17th Judicial Circuit). The Company was named as defendant in a collection suit for attorneys fees in the amount of $24,197.93 based on allegations of breach of agreement and quantum merit. Responsive pleadings in defense of the claim have been filed, including affirmative defenses. The parties are now engaged in pre-trial discovery with no trial date scheduled. The Company deems the lawsuit frivolous and without merit and is pondering the filing of a counterclaim. On February 28, 2003 the Company was served with a civil suit from Exodus Resources, Inc. vs FuelNation Inc. and Chris Salmonson (Case# 03-5178-CA-06) Dade County, Florida (11th Judicial Circuit). The Company and former CEO were named as co-defendants, jointly and severally, by a shareholder in a securities 20 related suit for money damages exceeding $15,000.00 (plus special damages) based on allegations of breach of fiduciary duty and fraud. Responsive pleadings in defense of the claim have been filed, including affirmative defenses. The parties are now engaged in pre-trial discovery with no trial date scheduled. The Company deems the lawsuit frivolous and without merit and is pondering the filing of a counterclaim. In April 2003, our independent auditors received a request from the SEC seeking the production of documents in connection with an informal investigation. The Company has not received the notice The Company cannot predict when this investigation will be completed, nor can it predict what the results of this investigation may be. It is possible that the Company will be required to pay fines, consent to injunctions on future conduct, or suffer other penalties, each of which could have a material adverse effect on its business. The Company cannot assure you that the effects and result of this investigation will not be material and adverse to its business, financial condition and liquidity. ITEM 2. CHANGES IN SECURITIES. - NONE ITEM 3. DEFAULTS UPON SENIOR SECURITIES - NONE ITEM 4. SUBMISSION OF MATTERS TO A VOTE OF SECURITY HOLDERS - NONE ITEM 5. OTHER INFORMATION On August 15, 2002 the then CEO and President of the company, Chris Salmonson, was arrested by the Sheriff's Office in Broward County, Florida on charges of grand theft relating to a real estate transaction, that failed, with a church. It is alleged that he received $1,670,000 from the Church in exchange for real property that was never conveyed to the Church. The CEO and President denies that he has committed any offense or violation of law and has assured the Company that he will vigorously defend himself against the charges made against him. Mr. Salmonson has retained counsel with respect to these matters, and counsel is working toward his defense. Mr. Salmonson stepped down from his management role as CEO and President until the allegations against him are settled. The board of directors has reviewed key people to assist with the management and funding responsibilities and agreed in principal to a successor CEO and President subject to a formal agreement being signed with the successor CEO and President and the appropriate actions being adopted by the Company. Chris Salmonson has agreed to stay on as a consultant and guide the Company through on the funding of the secured taxable revenue notes. During the month of September 2002, the company was required to pay $65,000 on a 60-day demand note and resulted in the lender, Richard Gladstone, defaulting against the collateral of 26,680 restricted common shares of FuelNation stock pledged by an affiliate, Fuel America. As of December 31, 2002 the Company has replaced these shares to the affiliate. The collateral has a restrictive legend and is subject to all rules as may be imposed by Rule 144 of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. The company is waiting for confirmation and written verification from the lender of the total proceeds they received on the securities to satisfy the obligation and to see if any additional funds are owed. During September 2002 the company was required to pay $100,000 on a 60-day demand note, and resulted in the lender, defaulting against the collateral of 175,717 restricted common shares of FuelNation stock pledged by an affiliate, Fuel America. As of December 31, 2002 the Company has replaced these shares to the affiliate. The collateral has a restrictive legend and is subject to all rules as may be imposed by Rule 144 of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. The company is waiting for confirmation and written verification from the lender of the total proceeds they received on the securities to satisfy the obligation and to see if any additional funds are owed. The Company is in discussions with certain debt holders and vendors to convert their indebtedness into common or preferred equity of the Company. It is the intention of the Company to negotiate most of the outstanding indebtedness into common or preferred equity of the Company and thereby relieving any burden of fund raising for operations or vendor supplies.
