PART I -- FINANCIAL INFORMATION
ITEM 1. FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Please see pages F-1 through F-6.
ITEM 2. - MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OR PLAN OF OPERATIONS.
PLAN OF OPERATIONS
Management intends to seek out and pursue a business combination with
one or more existing private business enterprises that might have a desire
to take advantage of the Company's status as a public corporation.
Management does not intend to target any particular industry but, rather,
intends to judge any opportunity on its individual merits.
In addition, management intends either to sell its existing real estate
interests as an undeveloped package or to spin off the interests into a
private subsidiary corporation that has yet to be formed. See "Real
Estate Properties."
Real Estate Properties
Since 1999, the Company has owned 91 unimproved lots located in
Teller County, Colorado. The lots are zoned for residential development,
and comprise a total of approximately 4.7 acres of land. They are
locatedin the Pike's Peak region approximately six miles by road from
the historic mining town of Cripple Creek, Colorado, and approximately 40
miles by highway from the Colorado Springs metropolitan area.
The Company acquired the lots from Donald J. Smith, who is currently
President and a Director of the Company. In connection with the purchase,
the Company's board of directors deemed the lots to have a total value of
$162,000. The purchase price was paid in the form of approximately
23,000,000 treasury shares of the Company's Series A Common Stock.
To date, the Company has not developed the lots, and has reached a
determination that it is not feasible for the Company to do so.
Risk Factors
An investment in the securities of the Company involves extreme risks
and the possibility of the loss of a shareholder's entire investment. A
prospective investor should evaluate all information discussed in this
Report and the risk factors discussed below in relation to his financial
circumstances before investing in any securities of the Company.
1. No Currently Relevant Operating History. The Company has no
currently relevant operating history, revenues from operations, or assets
other than cash from private sales of stock. The Company faces all of the
risks of a new business and those risks specifically inherent in the
investigation, acquisition, or involvement in a new business opportunity.
Purchase of any securities of the Company must be regarded as placing
funds at a high risk in a new or "start-up" venture with all of the
unforeseen costs, expenses, problems, and difficulties to which such
ventures are subject.
-2-
2. No Assurance of Success or Profitability. There is no assurance
that the Company will acquire a favorable business opportunity. Even if
the Company were to become involved in a business opportunity, there is no
assurance that it would generate revenues or profits, or that the market
price of the Company's Common Stock would be increased thereby.
3. Possible Business - Not Identified and Highly Risky. The Company
has not identified and has no commitments to enter into or acquire a specific
business opportunity. As a result the Company can disclose the risks and
hazards of any business or opportunity that it might enter into in only a
general manner, and cannot disclose the risks and hazards of any specific
business or opportunity that it may enter into. An investor can expect a
potential business opportunity to be quite risky. The Company's acquisition
of or participation in a business opportunity will likely be highly illiquid
and could result in a total loss to the Company and its stockholders should
the business or opportunity prove to be unsuccessful.
4. Type of Business Acquired. The type of business to be acquired
may be one that desires to avoid effecting a public offering and the
accompanying expense, delays, and federal and state requirements which
purport to protect investors. Because of the Company's limited capital,
it is more likely than not that any acquisition by the Company will
involve other parties whose primary interest is the acquisition of a
publicly traded company. Moreover, any business opportunity acquired may
be currently unprofitable or present other negative factors.
5. Impracticability of Exhaustive Investigation. The Company's
limited funds and the lack of full-time management will likely make it
impracticable to conduct a complete and exhaustive investigation and
analysis of a business opportunity before the Company commits its capital
or other resources thereto. Management decisions, therefore, will likely
be made without detailed feasibility studies, independent analysis, market
surveys, and the like which, if the Company had more funds available to it,
would be desirable. The Company will be particularly dependent in making
decisions upon information provided by the promoter, owner, sponsor, or
others associated with the business opportunity seeking the Company's
participation.
6. Lack of Diversification. Because of the limited financial
resources of the Company, it is unlikely that the Company will be able to
diversify its acquisitions or operations. The Company's probable inability
to diversify its activities into more than one area will subject the Company
to economic fluctuations within a particular business or industry and
therefore increase the risks associated with the Company's operations.
7. Possible Reliance upon Unaudited Financial Statements. The Company
generally will require audited financial statements from companies that the
Company proposes to acquire. No assurance can be given, however, that
audited financials will be available to the Company. In cases where audited
financials are unavailable, the Company will have to rely upon unaudited
information received from target companies' management that has not been
verified by outside auditors. The Company is subject, moreover, to the
reporting provisions of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the
"Exchange Act"), and thus will be required to furnish certain information
about significant acquisitions, including certified financial statements for
any business that the Company shall acquire. Consequently, acquisition
prospects that do not have or are unable to obtain the required certified
statements may not be appropriate for acquisition so long as the reporting
requirements of the Exchange Act are applicable.
-3-
8. Investment Company Regulation. The Company does not intend to
become classified as an "investment company" under the Investment Company
Act of 1940 (the "Investment Act"). The Company believes that it will not
become subject to regulation under the Investment Act because (i) the Company
will not be engaged in the business of investing or trading in securities,
(ii) any merger or acquisition undertaken by the Company will result in the
Company's obtaining a majority interest in any such merger or acquisition
candidate, and (iii) the Company intends to discontinue any investment in a
prospective merger or acquisition candidate in which a majority interest
cannot be obtained. Should the Company be required to register as an
investment company, it shall incur significant registration and compliance
costs. The Company has obtained no formal determination from the Securities
and Exchange Commission (the "Commission") as to the status of the Company
under the Investment Act. Any violation of the Investment Act will subject
the Company to materially adverse consequences. Should the Commission find
that the Company is subject to the Investment Act, and order the Company to
register under such Act, the Company would vigorously resist such finding
and order. Irrespective of whether the Commission or the Company were to
prevail in such dispute, however, the Company would be damaged by the costs
and delays involved. Because the Company will not register under the
Investment Act, investors in the Company will not have the benefit of the
various protective provisions imposed on investment companies by such Act,
including requirements for independent directors.
9. Other Regulation. An acquisition made by the Company may be of
a business that is subject to regulation or licensing by federal, state, or
local authorities. Compliance with such regulations and licensing can be
expected to be a time-consuming, expensive process and may limit other
investment opportunities of the Company.
10. Dependence upon Management. The Company will be heavily dependent
upon the skills, talents, and abilities of its management to implement its
business plan. The Company's executive officers and directors may devote
as little as two hours per month to the affairs of the Company, which for a
company such as this that is heavily dependent upon management, may be
inadequate for Company business, and may delay the acquisition of any
opportunity considered. Furthermore, management has little or no significant
experience in seeking, investigating, and acquiring businesses and will
depend upon its limited business knowledge in making decisions regarding the
Company's operations.
11. Lack of Continuity in Management. The Company does not have
employment agreements with its management, and there is no assurance that
the persons who currently manage the Company shall continue to do so in the
future. In connection with acquisition of a business opportunity, the
current management of the Company probably will resign and appoint successors.
This may occur without the vote or consent of the shareholders of the Company.
12. Conflicts of Interest. Certain conflicts of interest exist
between the Company and its executive officers and directors. Each of them
has other business interests to which they devote their primary attention,
and they may be expected to continue to do so although management time should
be devoted to the business of the Company. As a result, conflicts of
interest may arise that can be resolved only through the exercise of such
judgment as is consistent with the fiduciary duties that such executive
officers and directors owe to the Companyand it's shareholders.
13. Indemnification of Officers and Directors. The Company's Articles
of Incorporation provide for the indemnification of its directors, officers,
employees, and agents, under certain circumstances, against attorney's fees
and other expenses incurred by them in any litigation to which they become a
party arising from their association with or activities on behalf of the
Company. The Company may also bear the expenses of such litigation for any
of its directors, officers, employees, or agents, upon such person's promise
to repay the Company therefor if it is ultimately determined that any such
person shall not have been entitled to indemnification. This indemnification
policy could result in substantial expenditures by the Company which it will
be unable to recoup.
-4-
14. Director's Liability Limited. The Company's Articles of
Incorporation exclude personal liability of its directors to the Company and
its stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty except
in certain specified circumstances. Accordingly, the Company will have a
much more limited right of action against its directors than otherwise would
be the case. This provision does not affect the liability of any director
under federal or applicable state securities laws.
15. Dependence upon Outside Advisors. To supplement the business
experience of management, the Company may be required to employ accountants,
technical experts, appraisers, attorneys, or other consultants or advisors.
The selection of any such advisors will be made by management without any
input from shareholders. Furthermore, it is anticipated that such persons
may be engaged on an "as needed" basis without a continuing fiduciary or
other obligation to the Company.
16. Minimal Working Capital; Accumulated Deficit. At September 30, 2002,
the Company had working capital only in the minimal amount of $3,532, and
the Company's accumulated deficit was $(345,554). See "Need for Additional
Financing," below.
17. Need for Additional Financing. The Company's funds will not be
adequate to take advantage of any available business opportunities. Even if
the Company were to obtain sufficient funds to acquire an interest in a
business opportunity, it may not have sufficient capital to exploit the
opportunity. The ultimate success of the Company will depend upon its
ability to raise additional capital. The Company has not investigated the
availability, source, or terms that might govern the acquisition of
additional capital and will not do so until it evaluates its needs for
additional financing. When additional capital is needed, there is no
assurance that funds will be available from any source or, if available,
that they can be obtained on terms acceptable to the Company. If not
available, the Company's operations will be limited to those that can be
financed with its modest capital.
18. Leveraged Transactions. There is a possibility that any
acquisition of a business opportunity by the Company may be leveraged, i.e.,
the Company may finance the acquisition of the business opportunity by
borrowing against the assets of the business opportunity to be acquired,
or against the projected future revenues or profits of the business
opportunity. This could increase the Company's exposure to larger losses.
A business opportunity acquired through a leveraged transaction is profitable
only if it generates enough revenues to cover the related debt and
expenses. Failure to make payments on the debt incurred to purchase the
business opportunity could result in the loss of a portion or all of the
assets acquired. There is no assurance that any business opportunity
acquired through a leveraged transaction will generate sufficient revenues
to cover the related debt and expenses.
19. Competition. The search for potentially profitable business
opportunities is intensely competitive. The Company expects to be at a
disadvantage when competing with many firms that have substantially greater
financial and management resources and capabilities than the Company. These
competitive conditions will exist in any industry in which the Company may
become interested.
20. No Foreseeable Dividends. The Company has not paid dividends on
its Common Stock and does not anticipate paying such dividends in the
foreseeable future.
21. Loss of Control by Present Management and Shareholders. The
Company may consider an acquisition in which the Company would issue as
consideration for the business opportunity to be acquired an amount of the
Company's authorized but unissued Common Stock that would, upon issuance,
constitute as much as 95% of the voting power and equity of the Company.
The result of such an acquisition would be that the acquired company's
shareholders and management would control the Company, and the Company's
management could be replaced by persons unknown at this time. Such a merger
could leave investors in the securities of the Company with a greatly
reduced percentage of ownership of the Company. Management could sell its
control block of stock at a premium price to the acquired company's
shareholders, although management has no plans to do so.
22. Dilutive Effects of Issuing Additional Common Stock. The majority
of the Company's authorized but unissued Common Stock remains unissued. The
board of directors of the Company has authority to issue such unissued shares
without the consent or vote of the shareholders of the Company. The issuance
of these shares may further dilute the interests of investors in the
securities of the Company and will reduce their proportionate ownership
and voting power in the Company. See "Series B Common Shares Authorized,"
below.
-5-
23. Thinly-traded Public Market Barriers to establishment of and
Active Public Market. There currently is only a thinly traded or virtually
inactive public market for the securities of the Company. No assurance can
be given that a more active market will develop or that an investor will be
able to liquidate his investment without considerable delay, if at all. If
a more active market should develop, the price may be highly volatile.
Factors such as those discussed in this "Risk Factors" section may have a
significant impact upon the market price of the securities of the Company.
Owing to what may be expected to be the low price of the securities, many
brokerage firms may not be willing to effect transactions in the securities.
Even if an investor finds a broker willing to effect a transaction in these
securities, the combination of brokerage commissions, state transfer taxes,
if any, and any other selling costs may exceed the selling price. Further,
many lending institutions will not permit the use of such securities as
collateral for any loans.
Should an active trading market fail to develop, any investment in the Common
Stock would be highly illiquid. Accordingly, an investor in the Common Stock
may not be able to sell the Common Stock readily, if at all. Consequently,
should the investor suffer a change in circumstances arising from an event not
now contemplated, and should the investor therefore wish to transfer the Common
Stock owned by him, he may find he has only a limited or no ability to transfer
or market the Common Stock. Accordingly, purchasers of the Common Stock need
to be prepared to bear the economic risk of their investment for an indefinite
period of time. Prospective investors should be fully aware of the long-term
nature of their investment in the Company.
The Common Stock is listed on the Electronic Bulletin Board operated by the
NASD. There is no assurance, however, that a mere Bulletin Board listing will
obviate any of the liquidity limitations described above. In May of 2002,
moreover, the NASD filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission proposed
rules to create and govern a new exchange to be called the Bulletin Board
Exchange (the "BBX"). The BBX would replace the Electronic Bulletin Board.
Subject to approval by the Commission, the BBX is to begin operation in the
first quarter of 2003.
As proposed, the standards that must be met for BBX listing are more stringent
than those imposed by the Electronic Bulletin Board. Those standards include
requirements as to annual meetings of shareholders, proxy solicitations,
independent directors, audit committees, shareholder approval of stock-option
grants, shareholder approval of below-market issuances of stock, and the like.
The BBX, moreover, would charge nontrivial initial and continuing listing fees.
On the basis of its current organization and practice, the Company would not
meet all of the proposed BBX standards. Even if the Company's organization and
practice could be reconfigured to meet those standards, which is not certain,
management has not resolved to pursue such a reconfiguration.
It appears likely, therefore, that, should the Commission approve the BBX
proposal, the Company's securities would have no more than "pink-sheet"
status. Historically, securities listed only in the pink sheets have been
even less liquid than those listed on the Electronic Bulletin Board.
24. Impact of Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 and Related Regulations. A
predominant aspect of the Company's business plan is to promote a business
combination between the Company and a private, operating business enterprise.
The Company's ability to promote such a business combination hinges upon the
perceived benefit of the actual or potential public-company status of the
Company.
-6-
The enactment of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, and of regulations that
have been or are to be promulgated thereunder, results in a significant
increase in the risks and costs of public-company status. A few features
of the Act are
(1) CEO and CFO certifications of the financial statements and other
information contained in annual and quarterly reports;
(2) acceleration of deadlines for Section 16 reporting of insider
transactions;
(3) acceleration of deadlines for reporting of material changes in
financial conditions or operations;
(4) prohibition of new loans to directors and executive officers;
(5) review by the Securities and Exchange Commission at least every
three years of periodic reports and other filings;
(6) new authority to prohibit certain individuals from serving as
officers and directors;
(7) extension of the statute of limitations on claims of securities
fraud;
(8) establishment of new criminal offenses for destroying, altering,
or falsifying records;
(9) federal sentencing guidelines to be amended sufficiently to "deter
and punish" criminal acts;
(10) disclosure of whether a financial expert serves on the audit
committee and, if not, why not;
(11) disclosure of whether a code of ethics for senior management has
been adopted and enforced and, if not, why not; and
(12) requirement that attorneys to the corporation report material
violations of securities laws or breaches of fiduciary duties.
Compliance with these new rules, among numerous others, will increase the
legal and accounting expenses of being a public reporting company, and will
impose significant new demands upon the time and energies of management. In
addition, the new rules will increase the exposure of the principals of public
companies to personal legal risk.
Management believes, therefore, that this new body of law will have a
significant, adverse impact upon the Company's business. This impact will take
the form of narrowing the pool of candidates for potential business
combinations with the Company. The narrowing is expected to occur for
two reasons.
First, the Company will need to be more exacting in its evaluation of
candidates. To be an appropriate candidate, a private business enterprise will
need to possess levels of resources, and of business, legal, and accounting
sophistication and experience, that permit a reasonable conclusion to be
reached that the candidate has the capability of complying with the new law.
The Company will need to satisfy itself, moreover, that the candidate has not
only the needed resources but also a corporate culture that is compatible with
the financial limitations imposed by the new law, and with the increased
levels of scrutiny and candor associated with the new law.
Second, the perception by potential candidates of the cost-benefit ratio of
public status will be altered. Qualified candidates might well perceive there
to be a new and less advantageous relationship between the historical benefits
of being a public corporation and the increased costs and new limitations
associated with public-company status.
These factors are expected to combine to increase the difficulty of
identifying and investigating candidates. In addition, these factors might
well make it more difficult for the Company to complete a business combination
or, even if it proves feasible to complete one,to do so on terms as favorable
as those that public shell corporations have succeeded in negotiating in the
past
-7-
25. Broker-Dealer Sales of Company's Registered Securities. The
Company's registered securities are covered by a Securities and Exchange
Commission rule that imposes additional sales practice requirements on broker-
dealers who sell such securities to persons other than established customers
and accredited investors. For purposes of the rule, the phrase "accredited
investors" means, in general terms, institutions with assets in excess of
$5,000,000, or individuals having a net worth in excess of $1,000,000 or
having an annual income that exceeds $200,000 (or that, when combined with
a spouse's income, exceeds $300,000). For transactions covered by the rule,
the broker-dealer must make a special suitability determination for the
purchaser and receive the purchaser's written agreement to the transaction
prior to the sale. Consequently, the rule may affect the ability of broker-
dealers to sell the Company's securities and also may affect the ability of
investors in securities of the Company to sell their securities in any market
that might develop therefor.
26. Preferred Shares Authorized. The Articles of Incorporation of
the Company authorize issuance of a maximum of 50,000,000 nonvoting shares
of Preferred Stock, par value $0.0001 per share. No shares of Preferred
Stock have been issued or are outstanding on the date of this Report, and
there is no plan to issue any in the foreseeable future. Should a series of
Preferred Stock be issued, however, the terms of such series could operate
to the significant disadvantage of the holders of outstanding Series A
Common Stock or other securities of the Company. Such terms could include,
among others, preferences as to dividends and distributions on liquidation.
27. Series B Common Shares Authorized. The Articles of Incorporation
of the Company authorize issuance of a maximum of 250,000,000 nonvoting
shares of Series B Common Stock, par value $0.0001 per share. No shares of
Series B Common Stock have been issued or are outstanding on the date of this
Report and there is no plan to issue any in the foreseeable future. Should
Series B Common Stock be issued, however, such Stock could have a substantial,
dilutive effect upon the interests of the holders of outstanding Series A
Common Stock or other securities of the Company, and would reduce the
proportionate ownership of such holders in the Company.
28. Possible Rule 144 Sales. The majority of the outstanding shares
of Common Stock held by present shareholders are "restricted securities"
within the meaning of Rule 144 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.
As restricted shares, these shares may be resold only pursuant to an
effective registration statement or under the requirements of Rule 144 or
other applicable exemption from registration under the Act and as required
under applicable state securities laws. Rule 144 provides in essence that a
person who has held restricted securities for a period of one year may, under
certain conditions, sell every three months, in brokerage transactions, a
number of shares that does not exceed the greater of 1.0% of a company's
outstanding common stock or the average weekly trading volume during the four
calendar weeks prior to the sale. There is no limit on the amount of
restricted securities that may be sold by a nonaffiliate after the restricted
securities have been held by the owner for a period of two years. A
sale under Rule 144 or under any other exemption from the Act, if available,
or pursuant to subsequent registrations of shares of Common Stock of present
stockholders, may have a depressive effect upon the price of the Common Stock
in any market that may develop. As of November 12th, 2002 a total of
33,341,977 shares of Common Stock (49.5% of the total number of
issued and outstanding shares) held by present shareholders of the Company
are available for sale under Rule 144, all of which will be subject to
applicable volume restrictions under the Rule.

Item 3. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
The Company's Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, after
evaluating the effectiveness of the Company's disclosure controls and
procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-14(c) and 15d-14(c) under the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) as of a date within 90 days of the filing of
this quarterly report (the "Evaluation Date"), have concluded that, as of the
Evaluation Date, the Company's disclosure controls and procedures were
effective to ensure the timely collection, evaluation and disclosure of
information relating to the Company that would potentially be subject to
disclosure under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and the rules
and regulations promulgated thereunder. There were no significant changes in
the Company's internal controls or in other factors that could significantly
affect the internal controls subsequent to the Evaluation Date.
Special Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements
Some of the statements under "Description of Business," "Risk Factors,"
"Management's Discussion and Analysis or Plan of Operation," and elsewhere in
this Report and in the Company's periodic filings with the Securities
and Exchange Commission constitute forward-looking statements. These
statements involve known and unknown risks, significant uncertainties and
other factors what may cause actual results, levels of activity, performance
or achievements to be materially different from any future results, levels
of activity, performance or achievements expressed or implied by such forward-
looking statements. Such factors include, among other things, those listed
under "Risk Factors" and elsewhere in this Report.
In some cases, you can identify forward-looking statements by
terminology such as "may," "will," "should," "could," "intends," "expects,"
"plans," "anticipates," "believes," "estimates," "predicts," "potential" or
"continue" or the negative of such terms or other comparable terminology.
The forward-looking statements herein are based on current expectations
that involve a number of risks and uncertainties. Such forward-looking
statements are based on assumptions that the Company will obtain or have
access to adequate financing for each successive phase of its growth, that
there will be no material adverse competitive or technological change in
condition of the Company's business, that the Company's President and other
significant employees will remain employed as such by the Company, and that
there will be no material adverse change in the Company's operations,
business or governmental regulation affecting the Company. The foregoing
ssumptions are based on judgments with respect to, among other things,
further economic, competitive and market conditions, and future business
decisions, all of which are difficult or impossible to predict accurately
and many of which are beyond the Company's control.
Although management believes that the expectations reflected in
the forward-looking statements are reasonable, management cannot guarantee
future results, levels of activity, performance or achievements. Moreover,
neither management nor any other persons assumes responsibility for the
accuracy and completeness of such statements.

PART II -- OTHER INFORMATION
ITEM 2. CHANGES IN SECURITIES AND USE OF PROCEEDS
On July 1, 2002, the Company sold 500,000 shares of its Series A Common Stock
to an existing shareholder of the Company for $3,500 in cash. On
September 30, 2002, the Company sold another 500,000 shares of its Series A
Common Stock to a corporation wholly owned by the President of the Company,
also for $3,500 in cash. The proceeds of the two sales have been or are to
be used as working capital.
The purchasers in the sales described above were either directors of the
Company, executive officers of the Company, historical investors in the
Company, professional service providers engaged by the Company, or entities
controlled by such persons. The sales were not registered under the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"). The sales were
made on an unregistered basis in reliance upon either or both of the
exemptions contained in Sections 4(2) or 3(b) of the Securities Act, on the
basis that the sales were made, without any general solicitation, (i) to a
limited number of purchasers; (ii) each of whom (or the control persons of
whom) had a long-standing, ongoing, substantive relationship with Company;
and (iii) each of whom (or the control persons of whom) had, or had
reasonable access to, comprehensive knowledge of the Company, its business,
and its financial condition. On the basis of these facts, the Company
concluded that the sales did not involve any public offering.

REPORT ON REVIEW BY INDEPENDENT CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANT
To the Board of Directors
Yaak River Resources, Inc.
Casper, Wyoming
We have reviewed the accompanying balance sheet of Yaak River Resources,
Inc. as of September 30, 2002 and the related statements of operations for
the threemonths and nine month periods ended September 30, 2002 and 2001,
and the related cash flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2002 and
2001 included in the accompanying Securities and Exchange Commission Form

are the responsibility of the Company's management.
We conducted our reviews in accordance with standards established by the
American Institute of Certified Public Accountants. A review of interim
financial information consists principally of applying analytical procedures
to financial data and making inquiries of persons responsible for financial
and accounting matters. It is substantially less in scope than an audit
conducted in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the
United States, the objective of which is the expression of an opinion
regarding the financial statements as a whole. Accordingly, we do not
express such an opinion.
Based on our reviews, we are not aware of any material modifications that
should be made to the accompanying financial statements for them to be in
conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.
We have previously audited, in accordance with auditing standards generally
accepted in the United States, the balance sheet as of December 31, 2001, and
the related statements of operations, stockholders' equity and cash flows for
the year then ended (not presented herein). In our report dated
March 4, 2002, we expressed an unqualified opinion on those financial
statements. In our opinion, the information set forth in the accompanying
balance sheet as of September 30, 2002 is fairly stated in all material
respects in relation to the balance sheet from which it has been derived.
