ITEM 1.        DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS

General

PIEDMONT, INC. (the Company) is a Utah corporation formed on June 29, 1983,
under the name of Teal Eye, Inc. Its principal place of business is located at
1001 W. 17th Street, Ste. M, Costa Mesa, California 92626. The Company merged
with Terzon Corporation and changed its name to Terzon Corporation in 1984. It
subsequently changed its name to Candy Stripers Candy Corporation. It was
engaged in the business of manufacturing and selling candy and gift items to
hospital gift shops across the country. The Company was traded over the counter
(OTCBB) for several years. It ceased the candy manufacturing operations and
filed for Chapter 11 Bankruptcy protection in 1986. After emerging from
Bankruptcy in 1993, it was dormant until September, 1997 when the Company
attempted an acquisition of Fort Stockton Oil & Gas Co., Texas. The acquisition
agreement was canceled by mutual consent in April, 1998. The Company changed its
name to Piedmont, Inc. in January, 1998.

The nature of the Company's business is the development of an on- line shopping
mall ("cybermall") on the Internet which offers a range of goods and services
for sale to consumers over the Internet. Our primary web site is
www.PiedmontCyberMall.com. We have six different retail websites which sell
toys, electronics, health and beauty, sporting goods, gifts, books, music and
videos.

Our intent is to provide value to both the end-user and to our vendors by
providing a range of goods and services in one location. We believe that our
vendors may see increased traffic from customers arriving at our web site for
the purpose of browsing for an unrelated product or service.

Item 2.     Description of Property.

None.

Item 3.      Legal Proceedings.

The Company is not a party to any material pending legal proceedings and, to the
best of its knowledge, no such action by or against the company has been
threatened.

Item 4.   Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders.

No matters were submitted to a vote of the security holders of the Company
during the fourth quarter of the fiscal year which ended November 30, 2002.



<PAGE>

Part II

Item 5.  Market Price for Common Equity and Related Stockholder Matters.

(a)  Market Information.

The Shares have not previously been traded on any securities exchange. There is
no common stock of the Company that is subject to outstanding options or
warrants to purchase, or securities convertible into that stock. There are
10,093,195 common shares of the Company outstanding at November 30, 2002.

(b) Holders of Common Equity.

As of November 30, 2002, there were 637 shareholders of record of the Company's
common stock.

(c)  Dividends.

The Company has not declared or paid any dividends. The Board of Directors
presently intends to retain any earnings to finance the Company's operations and
does not expect to authorize cash dividends in the foreseeable future. Any
payment of cash dividends in the future will depend upon the Company's earnings,
capital requirements and other factors.

Item 6.  Management's Discussion and Analysis or Plan of Operations.

The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the financial
statements of the Company and notes thereto contained elsewhere in this report.

Plan of Operation

Piedmont develops Internet resources to provide internet users with a
comprehensive web site where they can obtain goods and services. We are in the
process of implementing our business model and entering into contracts with
merchants who can provide the goods and services to be sold through our web
site. We launched our website www.PiedmontCyberMall.com, in July, 2000. We
currently intend to raise additional capital in the next six months, either in
the form of equity, debt, or a combination thereof. Additional funding may be
unavailable, or if it is available, the terms of such financing may be
unacceptable to us.

We expect our future revenue to be derived from several sources including: (i)
retail sales of goods to consumers; (ii) commissions or royalties paid by
strategic partners for orders received through us; (iii) advertising on our web
sites, and (iv) fees for electronic commerce services and fees paid by store
vendors featured on our web site.

We expect to hire between three to four additional employees in the next six
months, depending on demand for the products and services we offer and the
growth of our operations generally, as may be necessary to sustain growth and to
remain competitive. The nature of our business is the development of an on-line
shopping mall ("cybermall") on the Internet which offers a range of goods and
services for sale to consumers over the Internet. Our primary web site is
www.PiedmontCyberMall.com.

We have six different retail websites ("storefronts") which sell toys,
electronics, health and beauty, sporting goods, gifts, books, music and videos.

Employees

The Company's has two employees at the present time which are the Company's
officers and directors, who will devote as much time as the Board of Directors
determine is necessary to carry out the affairs of the Company. We expect to
hire between three to four additional employees in the next six months,
depending on demand for the products and services we offer and the growth of our
operations generally, as may be necessary to sustain growth and to remain
competitive.

Item 7.  Financial Statements.



                          INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT

Board or Directors
Piedmont, Inc.
Costa Mesa, California

We have audited the balance sheet of Piedmont, Inc., formerly
Candy Stripers Candy Corporation, for the year ended November 30, 2002, and the
related statements of operations, stockholders' equity and cash flows for the
years ended November 30, 2002 and November 30, 2001. These financial statements
are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to
express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit.

We conducted our audit in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards.
Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable
assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes
assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by
management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.
We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in
all material respects, the financial position of Piedmont, Inc. at November 30,
2002, and the results of its operations and cash flows for the years ended
November 30, 2002 and November 30, 2001, in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles.

On November 24, 1997, Villa Nova Management Co., Inc., signed an acquisition
agreement with Pilaras Oil and Gas, Inc., to acquire 100% of the stock of Fort
Stockton Oil and Gas, a subsidiary of Pilaras Oil and Gas. This contract was
assigned to the Company on November 28 for common stock in the Company. However,
on April 21, 1998, the contract was cancelled by mutual consent. The stock

corporate promissory note and $5,000 for rent.

During the year ended November 30, 1998, the Company issued 124,100 shares of

The Company has adopted the following accounting policies and procedures:

         1. The Company uses the accrual method of accounting.

         2. Earnings (loss) per share is calculated using a weighted
            averaged number of shares of common stock outstanding.

         3. The Company has elected a fiscal year ending November 30th.

There are no warrants or stock options outstanding to acquire any additional
shares of common stock of the Company.

NOTE 5 - GOING CONCERN

in the normal course of business. As shown in the financial statements, the
Company has incurred substantial operating losses for the past several years and
has an excess of liabilities over assets at November 30, 2002. The Company's
ability to continue as a going concern is contingent upon its ability to operate

operating company.

Item 8. Changes in and Disagreements with Accountants on Accounting and
        Financial Disclosure.

         (a)Effective on March 17, 2003, the independent accountant who was
previously engaged as the principal accountant to audit the Registrant's
financial statements, Kurt D. Saliger, C.P.A., resigned. This accountant's
reports on the financial statements for the past two years neither contained an
adverse opinion or a disclaimer of opinion, nor was qualified or modified as to
uncertainty, audit scope, or accounting principles.

         During the Registrant's two most recent fiscal years and any subsequent
interim period preceding such resignation, there were no disagreements with the
former accountant on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial
statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure. In addition, there were no
"reportable events" as described in Item 304(a)(1)(iv)(b) 1 through 3 of
Regulation S-B that occurred within the Registrant's two most recent fiscal
years and the subsequent interim period preceding the former accountant's
dismissal.

         (b) Effective on March 17, 2003, the firm of Banker & Co. was engaged
to serve as the new principal accountant to audit the Registrant's financial
statements. The decision to retain the hew firm was approved by the Board of
Directors. During the Registrant's two most recent fiscal years, and the
subsequent interim period prior to engaging that accountant, neither the
Registrant (nor someone on its behalf) consulted the newly engaged accountant
regarding any matter.
