PART I

          Item 1.  Business
                   --------

                          INFORMATION ABOUT EASYRIDERS

General

          Easyriders, Inc. ("Easyriders" or the "Company") is a corporation
established under the laws of the state of Delaware on May 13, 1998.  Easyriders
currently derives substantially all of its revenues from the operations of its
wholly-owned subsidiary, Paisano Publications, Inc. ("Paisano Publications"), a
California corporation, having sold all of its interests in M & B Restaurants,
L.C. dba El Paso Bar-B-Que Company ("El Paso"), a Texas limited liability
company, in October, 2000.

Reorganization

          On September 23, 1998, Easyriders consummated a series of transactions
(the "Reorganization") comprising the following: (a) the acquisition by
Easyriders from Joseph Teresi of all of the outstanding common stock of Paisano
Publications and certain affiliated corporations (the "Paisano Companies"),
engaged at the time in (i) publishing special-interest magazines relating
primarily to American-made "V-Twin" motorcycles and tattoo art, (ii) selling
branded motorcycle apparel and accessories through a mail-order catalogue,
events and franchise stores, (iii) producing motorcycle and tattoo-related
events, and franchising retail stores to market its branded motorcycle apparel
and accessories; (b) the acquisition by Easyriders of all of the outstanding
membership interests of El Paso, which at the time was engaged in the operation
of four restaurants under the name "El Paso Bar-B-Que"; and (c) the merger (the
"Merger") of a subsidiary of Easyriders with and into Newriders, Inc., a Nevada
corporation ("Newriders").

          As a result of the Merger (i) each two shares of Newriders common
stock, par value $.01 per share (the "Newriders Common Stock") were exchanged
for one share of Easyriders common stock, par value $.001 per share ("Easyriders
Common Stock"), and the shareholders of Newriders immediately prior to the
Merger became stockholders of Easyriders, (ii) all of the outstanding options,
warrants and other convertible securities exercisable for or convertible into
Newriders Common Stock were exchanged for the right to purchase or convert into
one-half the number of shares of Easyriders Common Stock at an exercise price or
conversion ratio per share equal to two times the exercise price or conversion
ratio provided for in the stock option, warrant or other agreements evidencing
such options, warrants or other convertible securities, and (iii) Newriders, the
Paisano Companies and El Paso became wholly-owned subsidiaries of Easyriders/1/.

          At the time of the Reorganization, Easyriders and Paisano Publications
entered into a Note and Warrant Purchase Agreement (the "Credit Agreement") with
Nomura Holding America Inc. ("Nomura" or "Lender"), pursuant to which Nomura
agreed, subject to the satisfaction of certain terms and conditions, to lend
Paisano Publications up to $22,000,000 (the "Nomura Indebtedness").  The Company
borrowed $20,500,000 under the Credit Agreement at the time of

____________

/1/ Easyriders owned El Paso through Newriders, Inc., a Nevada corporation.
Newriders, Inc. is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Easyriders.

                                       3

the Reorganization and used the proceeds as a portion of the consideration paid
by Easyriders to Joseph Teresi to acquire the Paisano Companies. Since March 23,
2001, there has been no amount available for borrowing under the Credit
Agreement.

          As part of the Reorganization, the Company issued to Joseph Teresi, as
seller of the Paisano Companies, three promissory notes in the aggregate
principal sum of $13,000,000 (the "Subordinated Seller Notes".)  As of March 14,
2002, the principal owed on the Subordinated Seller Notes was $8,000,000.

Recent Developments

          Easyriders and Paisano continue to operate as debtors-in-possession
pursuant to the petitions filed by each on July 17, 2001 for relief under
Chapter 11 of the US Bankruptcy Code.  In January, 2002, Easyriders and Paisano
(collectively, "Debtors") proposed a Plan of Reorganization to be funded by
Joseph Teresi which would have provided for the preservation of a public
shareholder base, and the issuance of new shares to unsecured creditors. This
plan was seen by management as a way to return substantially full value to
creditors through market appreciation, and provide equity to those shareholders
willing to contribute "new value" to retain shares. Nomura, however, objected to
this plan, and in March, 2002 made it clear that the only resolution it would
support would be an asset sale transaction.

          After extensive negotiations, on April 6, 2002, Easyriders, Paisano, a
number of corporations which are wholly-owned by Easyriders, Nomura and Joseph
Teresi entered into an agreement  entitled "Asset Purchase Agreement, Compromise
of Controversies and Mutual Releases" (the "APA"), pursuant to which it is
contemplated that (a) Mr. Teresi or a new entity owned by him (collectively,
"Buyer") will purchase substantially all of the assets of Debtors, and
thereafter continue the business operations previously conducted by Debtors, (b)
as consideration for such purchase, Buyer shall pay to Nomura the sum of
$5,250,000 at the closing, (c) Buyer shall assume all ordinary-course
obligations of debtors incurred post-petition, but none of the pre-petition
claims or obligations of the Debtors, (d) Nomura will waive its claims against
Debtors for the balance owed under the Nomura Indebtedness and release all of
its liens, (e) Mr. Teresi will waive his claim against Easyriders for the
balance owed under the Subordinated Seller Notes, (f) all of the Debtors' cash,
including the net proceeds to be realized by Easyriders from settlement of the
Kaye Scholer Claim (the "Kaye Scholer Proceeds"), up to $1,500,000 will be made
available to satisfy all of the Debtors' claims (excluding any claim of Nomura
or Mr. Teresi) in accordance with the priorities set forth in the Bankruptcy
Code, (g) Mr. Teresi will guarantee that the amount of such cash shall be not
less than $1,500,000 at the time of closing (the "Closing Cash"), and (h)
releases shall be given by and among Buyer, Nomura and Debtors with respect to
all claims.

          The transactions contemplated by the APA (the "Global Settlement")
will not be consummated unless and until approved by the Bankruptcy Court.  A
hearing on such request for approval has been scheduled for May 1, 2002, with
the closing scheduled to occur on May 2, 2002 if approval is granted.

          In anticipation of consummating the Global Settlement, the Debtors, on
March 29, 2002, each filed a Plan of Reorganization and Disclosure Statement
providing for implementation of the Global Settlement.  Pursuant thereto, it is
assumed that the Kaye Scholer Proceeds (net of

                                       4
<PAGE>

attorneys' fees) will be the only sum available for distribution to creditors of
Easyriders, with the balance of the Closing Cash being allocated to the
creditors of Paisano. The exact amount of the Kaye Scholer Proceeds will not be
determined until at least May 8, 2002, at which time a hearing is scheduled to
determine the amount of attorney fees to be paid out of the gross amount of the
Kaye Scholer Proceeds ($395,000). In any event, it is anticipated that the Kaye
Scholer Proceeds will not be less than $256,750, which would mean that the cash
available to creditors of Paisano would be not less than $1,243,250.

          If the Global Settlement is approved, it is anticipated that all of
the stock of the Debtors would be cancelled, together with all options and
contingent securities, and such holders would receive no distributions from the
Debtors.  If the Global Settlement is not approved, it is not presently possible
to predict the outcome of the Chapter 11 cases.

          Motorcycle Lifestyle Magazines

          Easyriders

          Easyriders is Paisano Publications' original magazine.  It was first
published in 1971, and remains Paisano Publications' flagship magazine.  The
magazine has been closely associated with Harley-Davidson enthusiasts since the
early 1970's and has an extremely strong following in the U.S. and abroad.  The
"Easyriders" name has acquired a degree of brand name recognition, and is used
by Paisano Publications on products and for its retail and license operations.
Easyriders is focused on what has been referred to as the "Harley-Davidson
lifestyle," featuring motorcycles, people, and events involving Harley-Davidson
and other American-made "V-Twin" motorcycles.  In addition, Easyriders has
served as a means of promoting other products and services offered by Paisano
Publications.  Easyriders is published monthly in a fixed format of
approximately 152 pages.  The magazine sells at U.S. newsstands for a cover
price of $6.99 per issue.

          Other Motorcycle Lifestyle Magazines

          Other motorcycle lifestyle magazines published by Paisano Publications
include Biker (published 9 times per year), V-Twin (published 12 times per year)
and In the Wind (published 4 times per year), with newsstand cover prices that
range from $4.99 to $6.99 per issue. Commencing with the May 2001 issue, V-Twin
was introduced as a completely re-worked title, combining elements of the title
VQ which, except for a one-time annual edition, ceased publication as a separate
title with Issue No. 38, released in March 2001.  In addition, Paisano
Publications publishes a monthly tabloid-style trade publication, V-Twin News,
distributed at no charge to motorcycle and motorcycle accessory shops.

          Other Materials

          In addition to its magazine publications, Paisano Publications also
periodically publishes calendars, buyer guides and other printed materials.

          Video Magazines

          In the past, Paisano Publications produced video magazine versions of
its Easyriders magazine.  These were produced as periodicals and sold like
magazines, as single copies or as subscriptions.  Paisano Publications has built
a large library of footage for its videos and has released 45 video titles to
date. In addition, Paisano Publications has in the past distributed several
modified versions of its video magazines on pay-per-view programming.  The video
magazines contain some adult content and most are not rated.  Paisano
Publications ceased producing new video titles in 2000 and since then has been
liquidating its remaining inventory of videos through its licensee stores and
other channels, and re-formatting certain existing titles for future
distribution.  Changes in video digitization technology have, for example,
opened up other exploitation possibilities, through conversion of the library to
a DVD format. The Company also intends to exploit its existing video library
through distribution agreements with cable television networks and other media
outlets.

Printing and Production

          Since September 2001, as the result of expiration of its long-term
printing contract with R.R. Donnelley & Sons Company, Paisano has arranged for
magazine and calendar printing and production to be handled by Quebecor, Inc.
("Quebecor"), at its printing facility in Lincoln, Nebraska.  Paisano and
Quebecor are presently in the process of finalizing a long-term agreement
concerning the performance of such services.

Distribution and Marketing

          Paisano Publications' magazine and video products are marketed and
distributed through four major avenues:

          North American Newsstand Sales

          Magazines are distributed to newsstands in the U.S., Canada and a
limited number of foreign countries under a distribution agreement with Curtis
Circulation Company that runs through July 1, 2003.  Under the Bankruptcy Code,
Chapter 11 debtors are required to "assume" or "reject" all executory agreements
to which they are a party.  On July 31, 2001, at request of Curtis, this
agreement was formally assumed by Paisano, pursuant to an order of the
Bankruptcy Court on that date.  The distributor's responsibilities are primarily
related to marketing and include marketing magazines to newsstands; maintaining
relationships with magazine wholesalers, who deliver the magazines to the
newsstands; monitoring purchasing activity and determining the number of each
issue that the wholesaler delivers to each newsstand account; providing shipping
labels for each issue of the magazines to the printer, who then ships to the
wholesalers; and tracking magazine returns which are picked up, counted, and
destroyed by the wholesaler.

                                       8
<PAGE>

          Subscription Sales

          Subscription sales on a worldwide basis are handled through a contract
with the fulfillment house, EDS, formerly Centrobe, Inc. ("EDS").  EDS maintains
a database of current and past subscribers.  For each magazine issue, EDS sends
a list of current subscribers to the printer.  The printer, in turn, mails the
magazines to subscribers.

          Subscriptions are marketed primarily through Paisano Publications'
magazines.  Each magazine includes information about other Paisano Publications'
magazines.  To increase subscribers, Paisano also runs sweepstakes through its
magazines and by direct mail.

          Non-Newsstand Retail Sales

          Due to the target markets served by Paisano Publications, its
magazines are often carried at retail locations that do not typically carry
magazines.  Primarily, these "non-newsstand" accounts are motorcycle and tattoo
shops managed by an independent vendor, Retail Vision ("RV").

          RV has a direct marketing effort that targets non-newsstand customers
and maintains a database of accounts and prospects for non-newsstand retail
sales.  RV provides mailing labels to the printer for each issue of the
magazines which, in turn, ships to the non-newsstand customers.

          Foreign Newsstand Sales

          In addition to Curtis Circulation, Paisano Publications uses several
other distributors to handle the distribution and marketing of its magazines in
selected markets outside North America.  The printer ships the magazine to
foreign break-up points based on shipping lists provided by Paisano
Publications.

Bros Club

          Bros Club is a motorcycle travelers' service club.  The program was
developed to support the Easyriders Stores by providing a service that closely
ties the stores to their customers.  Easyriders Licensing permits each licensee
to form a Bros Club chapter and to include a membership with each motorcycle
purchase.

          As noted above, Paisano Publications has completely outsourced the
management and operation of Bros Club to an independent third party, ISPI, which
is now responsible for all aspects of the program.  Under this arrangement, all
obligations to carry inventory, fulfill orders, service members, and promote and
advertise the business are the responsibility of ISPI. Bros Club members pay
annual service fees of $39.95 and receive emergency road service and access to
insurance for custom bikes.  ISPI contracts with a third party to provide 24-
hour roadside assistance and towing to Bros Club members.  This third party
provider has over 12,000, 24-hour locations throughout the U.S.  As of March 19,
2002, there were approximately 4,000 Bros Club members.

Event Promotion and Management Activity

          For over a decade, Easyriders Events ("EE"), an affiliate of Paisano,
promoted events intended to appeal to motorcycle enthusiasts, including
motorcycle rodeos, motorcycle shows, and tattoo shows. Historically, EE either
promoted such events for its own account and incurred the risk of all associated
expenses against the prospect of collecting all revenues for ticket sales, or
provided services on a fee basis to the party taking such role. Services
provided included organization, advertising, arranging for attractions,
locations, insurance, concessions, and contest supervision.

          As noted above, Easyriders and Paisano have entered into a long-term
licensing agreement with API pursuant to which API has been granted the
exclusive right for a ten year period (with options to extend) to produce and
manage events and to sell event-specific merchandise under the Easyriders brand.
Under this license agreement, all responsibilities for production, scheduling,
staffing, management, purchasing and promotion are the responsibility of API,
which arrangement guarantees the Company a minimum level of royalties, plus a
percentage of gross revenues from gate and merchandise sales.

Competition

          Paisano Publications' five motorcycle titles (including the trade
publication, V-Twin News) have among the largest circulation of the U.S.
motorcycle magazine segment.  Paisano directly competes with the following six
other Harley-Davidson oriented motorcycle magazines: Hot Rod Bikes, Hot Bike,
American Rider, Iron Works and American Iron. The company's three tattoo-
oriented titles compete primarily with Skin & Ink, International Tattoo, Outlaw
Biker Tattoo and Tattoo Gallery.  American Rodder competes with others in the
hot-rod market, including Rod & Custom and Street Rodder.  In the custom truck
sector, Tailgate competes with Trucking, Sports Trucks and Street Trucks.

Trademarks

          Paisano Publications is the owner of a large number of trademarks and
service marks registered with the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office and numerous
foreign jurisdictions.  Classes of registration include magazines and printed
material, advertising services, media distribution, and a wide range of apparel
and accessories.  The company's principal registered marks are Easyriders,
Biker, In the Wind, Roadware, Tattoo, Tattoo Flash, V-Twin, VQ, and its well-
known, stylized motorcycle logo.

Employees

          As of March 19, 2002, the Paisano Companies employed approximately 67
full-time and part-time employees.  None of the Paisano Companies' employees are
covered by a collective bargaining agreement and the Paisano Companies have
never experienced an organized work stoppage, strike or labor dispute.  The
Paisano Companies believe relations with its employees are generally good.

Apparel Sales, Licensing and Store Operations Overview

          Paisano Publications has used its access to the Harley-Davidson/TM/
and hybrid American-made motorcycle market to sell apparel and other products.
Originally sold through Paisano Publications' magazines and mail-order catalogs,
Paisano Publications expanded the marketplace for such products to include two
company-owned stores, and subsequently introduced a franchise program for
motorcycle specialty shops.  In early 2000, all of the Company's product-related
activities were consolidated under the management of Easyriders Licensing, Inc.
("ELI") and the franchise program has been converted to one based on licenses to
store owners.

Apparel and Other Product Sales

          Shortly after commencing publication of Easyriders, Paisano
Publications began developing and distributing a line of apparel and other
motorcycle-related apparel and merchandise marketed under the Easyriders brand.
In 1984, this activity became a dedicated business unit of the Company.  The
products currently offered include clothing, belts, buckles and pins, boots,
jewelry, tee shirts, toys, leather apparel, hats, collectibles, bike accessories
and greeting cards.

          Easyriders Licensing sells its products through several channels:

          Mail-Order/Retail Customers. Historically, products have been sold
through advertisements in Paisano Publications' magazines and through annual
Easyriders product catalogs.  Since 1995, Paisano Publications has produced
newsstand catalogs under the name "Roadware" in order to increase mail-order
sales of its products and to provide nationwide marketing support for its
franchise/license stores.  In addition, Paisano has integrated its Roadware
catalog into the Easyriders Internet Web Site with complete e-commerce
capability.  As a consequence, the Web Site has become an additional channel for
the distribution of Roadware merchandise on a direct-to-consumer basis.

          Easyriders Stores.   The Company maintains a network of 39 retail
stores, each of which (an "Easyriders Store") conducts business as "Easyriders
of _____" pursuant to a written license agreement, except for one operating
under an expired franchise agreement.  All of these Easyriders Stores are in the
US except for one, which is in Ontario, Canada. All Easyriders Stores sell
products purchased from Paisano Publications, through Southern Steel Streetwear
("SSS") as discussed below.

          Other Customers: The Paisano Companies sell apparel and other products
at wholesale to non-Easyriders stores, through SSS as discussed below.  These
stores include a variety of motorcycle and accessory shops.  Another market for
distribution is events, as discussed below.

          Paisano Publications uses its magazines to market for all of the above
distribution channels.  Advertisements for the products, the catalogs, and the
Easyriders Stores are included throughout the various Paisano Publications'
magazines.

          Effective March 28, 2001, the Company through its subsidiaries,
Paisano Publications, Inc. and Easyriders Licensing, Inc., entered into a long-
term license agreement (the "Products

                                       11
<PAGE>

Agreement") with Southern Steel Sportswear, Inc., an affiliate of API, in
connection with the Company's wholesale products division. Pursuant to the
Products Agreement the Company outsourced to SSS all activities pertaining to
the design, manufacture, warehousing, shipping and fulfillment of orders in
connection with the sale of Easyriders-branded apparel and related merchandise
to its network of Easyriders Stores, and through other retail motorcycle-
oriented stores. The agreement is for a term of 10 years, with options to renew
for two additional 10-year terms. Pursuant to the Products Agreement, the
Company retains control over all other channels of distribution, including
direct sales via its Roadware catalog and Internet Web site, and licensing of
product opportunities to independent third parties (the "Retail Channel"). The
Company and SSS will collaborate on product design and the sourcing of leather
goods for sale to both the Wholesale Channel and Retail Channel.

Easyriders Licensing Overview

          In 1992, Paisano Publications began licensing the name Easyriders and
by 1994 had 14 U.S. licensed stores, with a wide range of formats and products.
In 1994, Paisano Publications decided that the potential for the stores would be
best served by a franchise arrangement.  A plan was then developed to change
certain stores to franchises and to establish additional franchise stores.  Of
the 14 licensed stores, 8 converted to franchised stores and the remainder
ceased using the Easyriders name. By the end of 1998, the number of franchise
stores had grown to 26.

          In late 1999, the Company decided to convert its franchise program to
one based on a network of stores operating under a license agreement, rather
than a franchise agreement.  Subsequently, all but two of the 26 franchise
stores converted to a license-based operation, and other Easyriders Stores have
been added to the network.

          The Company's standard-form license agreement obligates each licensee
to purchase an annual minimum dollar amount of merchandise, as a condition of
operating under the Easyriders name. While differing somewhat from location to
location, the inventory carried by these Easyriders Stores includes not only
merchandise purchased from the Company, but also motorcycles, after-market
motorcycle parts and supplies, and other motorcycle-related goods provided by
other vendors. In addition, many Easyriders Stores offer motorcycle service and
customization, tattooing, and food services.  As of March 19, 2002, a
significant percentage of the Easyriders Stores were not in compliance with past
merchandise purchase requirements, particularly with respect to the first year
of operation as license stores. Now that the transition to SSS is complete, and
SSS has control of the Wholesale Channel, this situation is expected to improve
in the months ahead.  Easyriders Stores which demonstrate the complete inability
to "catch up" on past commitments, and to meet current obligations, will be
terminated by appropriate enforcement action or as part of the process of
rejecting agreements as part of the resolution of the Company's Chapter 11
cases.

          In view of the uncertainties surrounding outcome of the Company's
Chapter 11 cases, the Company has temporarily suspended the offering of license
agreements for new Easyriders Stores.  Upon emergence from Chapter 11, provided
there is no material change in management, the Company's plan is to resume
offering to qualified entrepreneurs (primarily owners and operators of existing
independent motorcycle stores who have been in business successfully for at
least three years), the opportunity to convert to an Easyriders Store.

                                       12
<PAGE>

          According to the Company's investigation, there are approximately
6,500 motorcycle-related stores operating in the U.S., each of which is a
potential candidate for becoming an Easyriders Store.  Management believes this
market represents a material growth opportunity.

Competition

          The Company competes generally with a wide range of manufacturers and
distributors of apparel, including vendors which service consumers interested in
the American motorcycle lifestyle, through catalog sales, dealer networks, and
sales to independent motorcycle stores.  Within the motorcycle retail channel,
the market is generally considered to be fragmented, with the exception of
Harley-Davidson, which is actively engaged in selling branded merchandise
through its own dealer network and certain other selected outlets.

Employees

          ELI has no employees and relies on services provided by other Paisano
personnel.

Franchise Regulation

          Offering franchise opportunities ("Franchising") is subject to
extensive regulation at both a federal and state level.  Federal law emanates
from the Federal Trade Commission Act, and in particular, the "FTC Rule" issued
pursuant thereto, which rule sets forth comprehensive disclosure requirements
with respect to offerings of franchises.  At a state level, every state of the
U.S. has enacted a business opportunity statute which mandates the use of a
"Uniform Franchise Offering Circular" ("UFOC") developed initially by the North
American Securities Administrators Association.  Most states merely require use
of the UFOC when offering franchise opportunities, but approximately 15 states
(including California, Illinois and New York) also require registration or some
type of limited filing with the applicable state agency.  Easyriders Franchising
developed a UFOC for its previous Franchising activities and believes it has
materially complied with all federal and state laws in connection therewith.

          Item 2.  Properties.
                   ----------

          The principal executive offices of Easyriders and the Paisano
Companies, which consist of approximately 21,000 square feet, are located at
28210 Dorothy Drive, Agoura Hills, California 91301.  The warehouse occupies
approximately 7,000 square feet and is located at 28216 Dorothy Drive, Agoura
Hills, California 91301.  Both of these facilities are owned by Joseph Teresi, a
shareholder and Chairman of Easyriders, and are leased to Easyriders at rents
that are believed by management to be at, or below, market rates.

          Item 3.  Legal Proceedings.
                   -----------------

          The Hatcher Litigation

          On April 28, 2000, an action was filed in the U.S District court for
the Central District of California (Los Angeles) by Leon Hatcher, Richard
Stafford and entities controlled by them, naming as defendants the Company,
Newriders, Paisano Publications, El Paso, Easyriders Franchising, Easyriders
Licensing, Easyriders of Ohio, and the following current or former officers

                                       13
<PAGE>

and/or directors of the Company (the "Non-Debtor Defendants"): John Martin,
William Prather, Joseph Teresi, J. Robert Fabregas, William Nordstrom, Robert
Davis, Ellen Meagher, Joseph Jacobs, Daniel Gallery, Wayne Knyal, and Grady
Pfeiffer (the "Hatcher Action").  The complaint also named as a defendant James
E. Salven, Trustee in Bankruptcy in connection with the Pierce Action,
previously disclosed by the Company.

          The Hatcher Action alleged wrongful conduct on the part of the named
defendants in connection with Mr. Hatcher's past and current relationship with
Easyriders and Newriders, including:  (a) his role and ownership position in
Newriders prior to the Reorganization, (b) his role and participation in the
Reorganization, (c) his acquisition of shares of Easyriders as a consequence of
the Reorganization, (d) transactions involving the shares held by Mr. Hatcher in
Newriders and Easyriders, (e) the Company's Events business and his role
therein, (f) the Company's event merchandise business and Mr. Hatcher's role
therein, (g) the use and possession by Mr. Hatcher of property and vehicles used
in connection with the Events and event merchandise business of the Company, (h)
the acquisition by Mr. Hatcher and Mr. Stafford of franchises to operate retail
stores under the "Easyriders" name pursuant to various written agreements, and
(i) the termination of such franchise agreements by the Company in April, 2000.

          The complaint asserted wrongful conduct by defendants in connection
with the foregoing under a wide range of legal theories, including violations of
the Securities Act of 1933, the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, the California
Corporations Code, Federal Trade Commission Disclosure Rules, the California
Franchise Investment Law Laws and the Federal RICO statute (18 U.S.C. sections
1961-1968); breach of fiduciary responsibilities; fraud, negligent
misrepresentation, breach of contract, infliction of emotional distress,
interference with contracts and business relations, unfair competition and
defamation. Certain of the causes of action were presented as derivative claims,
brought on behalf of Easyriders and/or Newriders against one or more individual
defendants.  The action sought general and compensatory damages in amounts to be
proven at the time of trial, contract damages of $450,000, punitive damages,
injunctive and declaratory relief, and the appointment of a receiver.

          On July 31, 2000, the U.S. District Court in Los Angeles issued an
order dismissing the Hatcher Action in its entirety, based on a motion brought
by defendants challenging the complaint as being in violation of applicable
rules requiring that complaints in Federal court set forth a "short and plain"
statement of the basis for relief, and that allegations of fraud be specific as
to all details.  The order granted plaintiffs 30 days to file a new complaint,
stating that any amended complaint "must be a short, plain statement which is
concise, simple and direct in compliance with Rule 8 (a).  Furthermore,
allegations of fraud, misrepresentation and securities fraud must be alleged
with particularity in compliance with Rule 9."

          Plaintiffs filed their first amended complaint ("FAC") on September
14, 2000.  Believing that the FAC suffered from the same defects as the original
complaint, on September 29, 2000 defendants filed a motion to dismiss the FAC.
On October 18, 2000 the plaintiffs attempted to file another SAC, which was
rejected by the Clerk of the Court.  On October 25, 2000, the Court ordered the
parties to meet and confer concerning the alleged deficiencies of the FAC, and
ordered plaintiffs to file their second amended complaint ("SAC") by November
15, 2000.  After meeting and conferring with defendants' counsel regarding the
shortcomings of the FAC, plaintiffs filed

                                       14
<PAGE>

their SAC on November 15, 2000. Defendants were of the view that the SAC was
defective for the same reasons as the original complaint and the FAC, and
therefore filed another motion to dismiss on December 7, 2000. On July 24, 2001,
the court issued a lengthy, detailed ruling in which it specified substantially
all of the pleading defects affecting the SAC, and granted defendants' motion in
the entirety. Except for certain securities law claims dismissed with prejudice,
the ruling granted plaintiffs 30 days, until August 24, 2001 to make "one final
attempt" to file a Third Amended Complaint ("TAC"), indicating that the court
"will dismiss the plaintiffs' claims with prejudice if their TAC suffers from
 ----                                --------------
any of same deficiencies cited herein."

          On September 25, 2001, the Court granted plaintiffs an additional
ninety days to file a TAC, which plaintiffs filed on December 27, 2001.  This
TAC thus represents the plaintiffs' fourth attempt to construct a viable
complaint.  On January 15, 2002, defendants filed a motion to dismiss the TAC on
the grounds that plaintiffs had not corrected the prior deficiencies, and had
clearly demonstrated an inability to comply with the rules and orders of the
Court.  On February 11, 2002, the Court issued an order indicating its agreement
with defendants' motion, and dismissed the entire Hatcher Action with prejudice.
                                                                 --------------
On March 6, 2002, within the applicable time limit, Hatcher filed a notice of
appeal of this order to the Federal Appeals Court for the 9/th/ Circuit.

          The Company believes that the District Court's dismissal order was
well-founded, and that reversal of the same on appeal is not likely.  If,
however, such appeal were to succeed, the Company believes it still has
substantial defenses to any claim plaintiffs may be permitted to pursue in the
future. In addition, any surviving claims against the Company would become part
of the pool of general pre-petition unsecured debt, adjudicated through an
adversary proceeding in the Bankruptcy Court or litigation in the existing
forum. Further, the Company and its officers and directors are insured under a
policy providing indemnification for damages arising from securities claims and
the misconduct of its management.  In light of all of the foregoing
considerations, the final outcome of the Hatcher Action is not expected to be
materially adverse to the Company.

          The Pierce Litigation

          The Company has previously reported on the legal action involving Rick
Pierce, a former shareholder of Newriders, including (a) Mr. Pierce's Chapter 7
bankruptcy proceeding pending in the United States Bankruptcy Court, Eastern
District of California, Fresno Division, Case No. 98-19101-A-11, which was
commenced as an involuntary proceeding and then converted to a Chapter 11 case
with the debtor, Rick Pierce, in possession, and (b) the Company's adversary
proceeding against the Pierce Bankruptcy Estate and other parties who claim an
interest in shares of the Company acquired through various transactions with Mr.
Pierce. This action involves claims and counterclaims arising out of the 1998
Reorganization in which Mr. Pierce sought damages of at least $20 million.

          As a consequence of the previously-reported (a) settlement conference
in September, 1999 before Judge Montali, (b) the arrest and indictment of Mr.
Pierce on 29 counts of conspiracy, mail fraud and money laundering (c)
conversion of the bankruptcy proceeding from Chapter 11 to Chapter 7, (d)
dissolution of the creditor's committee and (e) appointment of a trustee to
administer the bankruptcy estate (the "Trustee"), as well as the subsequent
criminal conviction of Mr. Pierce on multiple felony counts, the Pierce Action
was dormant until approximately

                                       15
<PAGE>

December of 2000, when efforts were made to settle the Pierce Action with the
Trustee, James Salven. These efforts ultimately were not successful.

          The District Court which has jurisdiction over this case then
established a schedule for discovery and progress towards trial. However, in
light of the Company's Chapter 11 filing, prosecution of the case against the
Company was initially stayed pursuant to the automatic stay provisions of
section 362 of the Bankruptcy Code. Technically, this stay does not apply to the
individual defendants, although prosecution of the case against them may require
plaintiffs to obtain certain procedural relief such as bifurcation the cases
against the Company and the individual defendants in this action. On October 11,
2001, upon motion of Mr. Salven, the Bankruptcy Court granted Pierce relief from
the automatic stay. Now that such ruling has become final, the litigation of the
Pierce Action against all of the defendants, including the Company, has resumed
in District Court. In this regard, a status conference was held on February 25,
2002 at which time the Court ordered that if Salven desires to amend the
existing complaint, he must file by April 26, 2002 a motion in this regard. No
discovery may proceed during this time period. Once the complaint is resolved,
it is anticipated that discovery would commence and that if the case is not
settled, a trial would be held in late 2002.

          While the Company believes the Pierce Action is without merit, the
exact outcome will depend significantly on how the Company's Chapter 11 case
proceeds. The claims against the Company are part of the pool of general pre-
petition unsecured debt. Unless these claims are resolved through a negotiated
settlement, they will be adjudicated through litigation in the existing forum.
Regardless, in light of all of the foregoing considerations, the outcome of the
Pierce Action is not expected to be materially adverse to the Company.

          The Kaye, Scholer Litigation

          On April 19, 2000, the Company filed an action in Los Angeles County
Superior Court against the law firm of Kaye, Scholer, Fierman, Hays & Handler,
LLP, now known as Kaye Scholer LLP ("Kaye Scholer"), which represented
Newriders, Inc. in the Reorganization of 1998 (the "Kaye Scholer Action").  The
Kaye Scholer Action alleges that defendant, and the responsible attorneys
individually, committed legal malpractice, rendered negligent advice and
breached attorney-client fiduciary duties by failing to protect the Company's
interests in connection with the indemnification agreement entered into by and
between Newriders, as Buyer, and Paisano Publications, Inc., as Seller, in the
Reorganization.  The complaint alleged that as a consequence of such
malpractice, the Company incurred damages in excess of $2 million in connection
with the previously reported Steel Horses Arbitration, and sought recovery of
such sums, and other damages.  In the action, Kaye Scholer has filed a cross-
complaint seeking recovery of unpaid legal fees in the amount of approximately
$104,000.

          Kaye Scholer's claim for unpaid legal fees was stayed pursuant to the
Company's filing for Chapter 11 relief, and this claim is now part of the
Company's pool of pre-petition unsecured debt. The Company's claims against Kaye
Scholer, an asset of the Chapter 11 estate, were pursued by the Company.

          After 15 months of discovery, involving extensive document production
and approximately

                                       16
<PAGE>

14 depositions taken of witnesses on both sides, on October 29, 2001 the
Superior Court conducted a hearing on motions for summary judgment filed by Kaye
Scholer. As a consequence of the Court's comments at the hearing, the parties
stipulated to continue the hearing on such motions to and until January 3, 2002,
and in the interim to pursue mediation of the action. As the result of mediation
held on December 18, 2001, the Kaye Scholer Action was settled for a cash
payment to Easyriders of $395,000, with Kaye Scholer being allowed to retain its
claim for legal fees as a general unsecured creditor. This settlement was
approved by the Bankruptcy Court on March 6, 2002, as a consequence of which the
Kaye Scholer Action has been dismissed with prejudice.

          Claims of Raiko Hartman

          Between 1988 and 2000 the Company's subsidiary, Paisano Publication,
utilized the services of a free-lance photographer by the name of Raiko Hartman,
who over the years was engaged to do hundreds of "bike shoots" and other
photographic projects for Paisano's magazines.  During this period, all of the
images shot by Mr. Hartman were by mutual agreement retained by Paisano at its
business premises.  In approximately January of 2000, a disagreement arose
concerning the fees being charged by Mr. Hartman, as a consequence of which
Hartman thereafter ceased performing services for Paisano.  Shortly thereafter,
Mr. Hartman demanded the return of all images in the possession of Paisano and
began to assert that Paisano had violated copyrights held by Mr. Hartman by
reason of certain allegedly unauthorized uses of the images produced by Mr.
Hartman.  Paisano undertook efforts to return all of images it could locate, but
Mr. Hartman claims that some 23,000 of his images were not returned.  Such
claims of Mr. Hartman, for non-return of property and copyright infringement
(the "Hartman Claims"), were scheduled as part of Paisano's Chapter 11 filing in
July, 2001.  Mr. Hartman's proof of claim in this regard alleges a claim value
of $4 million. Paisano believes it has substantial defenses to the Hartman
Claims, and that in any event the amount of damages to which Mr. Hartman may be
entitled is significantly less.

          The Hartman Claims were initially subject to the automatic stay
provision of section 362 of the Bankruptcy Code. In late 2001, Mr. Hartman,
filed actions against Carlton Book Group and Colorvision International as
secondary copyright infringers. The Carlton claim is based on a book published
by Paisano in 1998 which contained Hartman images provided by Paisano. The
Colorvision Claim is based on use of Hartman images under a license agreement
with Paisano dating back to 1994. On February 14, 2002 Hartman secured relief
from the automatic stay pursuant to a negotiated stipulation which provides that
(a) such relief is limited to pursuing claims solely against Paisano's insurance
carriers, (b) to the extent insurance claims are accepted (regardless of
outcome), the Hartman Claims shall be withdrawn, and (c) to the extent insurance
claims are rejected, the Hartman Claims survive, to be adjudicated in the
Bankruptcy Court.

          Paisano is in the process of locating all of the relevant insurance
policies pursuant to the stipulation, and will cooperate with Mr. Hartman's
counsel in providing access thereto.  Once this process is complete, it is
anticipated that Mr. Hartman will file an action against Paisano for the purpose
of triggering insurance coverage.  By reason of such stipulation, the existence
of insurance coverage, and the fact that the Hartman Claims are pre-petition in
nature, the outcome of the Hartman Claims is not anticipated to be materially
adverse to the Company.

                                       17
<PAGE>

          Other Litigation and Claims

          The Company is named as a defendant in other legal actions arising
from its normal operations, and from time-to-time is presented with claims for
damages arising out of its actions. In particular, various legal actions were
commenced against the Company and/or Paisano prior to their filing for Chapter
11 relief on July 17, 2001. None of these claims has been pursued, except for
one, an action filed in South Carolina by Genevieve Beach, as Personal
Representative of the Estate of Henry F. Wise II, Deceased against. Easyriders
and Speedway of South Carolina Inc. dba Myrtle Beach Speedway (the "Wise
Action"). The Wise Action seeks unspecified damages arising out of the death of
Mr. Wise in 1999 while participating in a stunt event sponsored by Easyriders.
Recently, counsel for plaintiff in the Wise action filed a motion for relief
from the automatic stay imposed under section 362 of the Bankruptcy Code in
order to pursue recovery against any insurance which may cover the claim in
question. The Company has believes it has bona fide defenses to the Wise Action.
Regardless, the Company anticipates that any damages or expenses it may incur in
connection with these actions, individually and collectively, will not have a
material adverse effect on the Company. Any claims existing prior to July 17,
2001 are subject to the automatic stay provisions of section 362 of the
Bankruptcy Code, and are subject to resolution as part of the Company's pool of
unsecured, pre-petition obligations, including the Wise Action.

Matters.
--------

          Easyriders' common stock, $0.001 par value ("Easyriders' Common
Stock") has been listed on the American Stock Exchange ("AMEX") since September
23, 1998 (AMEX: EZR). Prior to that time, the Common Stock of Newriders,
Easyriders' predecessor, was traded on the OTC Electronic Bulletin Board (OTC
BB: NWRD:OB). Effective July 17, 2001, as a result of the registrant's filing a
petition for relief under Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code, the American Stock
Exchange suspended trading in the registrant's common stock. The following
tables set forth the range of high and low closing bid quotations for Newriders'
common stock as reported on the OTC Bulletin Board for each quarterly period
from January 1, 1998 through September 23, 1998 and high and low sales prices
for Easyriders' Common Stock as reported on AMEX for each quarterly period from
September 24, 1998 through July 17, 2001, the date that trading was halted by
the Exchange. Such quotations represent prices between dealers, without
adjustment for retail markups, markdowns or commissions, and may not necessarily
represent actual transactions.

     Management's discussion and analysis of the results of operations and
financial condition of the Company should be read in conjunction with the
Consolidated Financial Statements and related Notes thereto.

Overview

     Easyriders is a corporation established under the laws of the state of
Delaware on May 13, 1998.  Easyriders currently derives substantially all of its
revenues from the Paisano Publications, having sold all of its interests in El
Paso in October 2000.

     On September 23, 1998, Easyriders consummated a series of transactions (the
"Reorganization") comprising the following: (a) the acquisition by Easyriders
from Joseph Teresi of all of the outstanding common stock of Paisano
Publications and certain affiliated corporations (the "Paisano Companies"),
engaged at the time in (i) publishing special-interest magazines relating
primarily to American-made "V-Twin" motorcycles and tattoo art, (ii) selling
branded motorcycle apparel and accessories through a mail-order catalogue,
events and franchise stores, (iii) producing motorcycle and tattoo-related
events, and franchising retail stores to market its branded motorcycle apparel
and accessories; (b) the acquisition by Easyriders of all of the outstanding
membership interests of El Paso, which at the time was engaged in the operation
of four restaurants under the name "El Paso Bar-B-Que"; and (c) the merger (the
"Merger") of a subsidiary of Easyriders with and into Newriders, Inc., a Nevada
corporation ("Newriders").

     As a result of the Merger (i) each two shares of Newriders common stock,
par value $.01 per share (the "Newriders Common Stock") were exchanged for one
share of Easyriders common stock, par value $.001 per share ("Easyriders Common
Stock"), and the shareholders of Newriders immediately prior to the Merger
became stockholders of Easyriders, (ii) all of the outstanding options, warrants
and other convertible securities exercisable for or convertible into Newriders
Common Stock were exchanged for the right to purchase or convert into one-half
the number of shares of Easyriders Common Stock at an exercise price or
conversion ratio per share equal to two times the exercise price or conversion
ratio provided for in the stock option, warrant or other agreements evidencing
such options, warrants or other convertible securities, and (iii) Newriders, the
Paisano Companies and El Paso became wholly-owned subsidiaries of Easyriders.
The Merger was accounted for as a combination of entities under common control,
similar to a pooling of interest.  Therefore, the historical financial
statements represent the combined financial statements of the Company and
Newriders.  The acquisitions of the Paisano Companies and El Paso were accounted
for as a purchase.

     The acquisition of the Paisano Companies had, and will continue to have, a
material impact on the Company's financial statements; accordingly, current and
future financial statements may not be directly comparable to the Company's
historical financial statements.  In future periods, the amortization of
goodwill will significantly effect the Company's financial statements.

Use of EBITDA

     The following comparative discussion of the results of operations and
financial condition of the Company includes, among other factors, an analysis of
changes in the operating income of the business segments before interest
expense, taxes, depreciation and amortization ("EBITDA") in order to eliminate
the effect on the operating performance of the Paisano Companies of significant
amounts of amortization of intangible assets and interest expense recognized
through the Reorganization. Further, the Company has added back non-cash charges
consisting of stock issuance expenses and the loss on impairment of goodwill to
derive an adjusted EBITDA ("Adjusted EBITDA").  Financial analysts generally
consider EBITDA to be an important measure of comparative operating performance
for the businesses of the Company and its subsidiaries, and when used in
comparison to debt levels or the coverage of interest expense as a measure of
liquidity.  However, EBITDA should be considered in addition to, not as a
substitute for, operating income, net income, cash flow and other measures of
financial performance and liquidity reported in accordance with accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States of America.  Also, EBITDA, as
calculated by the Company, may not be comparable to similarly titled measures
used by other companies.

The fiscal year ended December 31, 2001 compared to the fiscal year ended
December 31, 2000

Results of Operations of Easyriders Inc., and subsidiaries

     During the year ended December 31, 2001, the Company experienced a net loss
in the amount of $17,094,867, compared with a net loss of $43,186,544 for the
twelve months ended December 31, 2000, reflecting an improvement of $26,091,677,
or 60%.  The improved results can be substantially attributed to improved gross
margin of $3,777,707, a reduction in operating expenses of $13,491,049
(including a reduction of $7,639,175 in goodwill impairment loss), a reduction
in interest expense of $1,850,691, a reduction in other expenses of $142,526,
and a $6,829,704 reduction in loss from discontinued operations.  Net loss from
continuing operations improved $19,261,973, or 53%.

     The operating results for the year ended December 31, 2001 are burdened by
the substantial costs of the Chapter 11 filings.  Net of these expenses, which
totaled $639,677 for the year, the net loss generated for the year is reduced to
$16,455,190, resulting in an improvement of $26,731,354, or 62%, when compared
to the previous year.

     On October 5, 2000, the Company sold all of its interests in El Paso.  The
subsidiary is reflected as discontinued operations for all of the years
presented in the accompanying financial statements so that the periods presented
are comparable.

     The Company's net loss per share, both basic and diluted, improved $0.91
per share, or 57%, to $0.68 per share for the year ended December 31, 2001, as
compared to a net loss of $1.59 per share for the year ended December 31, 2000.
Net loss per share from continuing operations improved $0.66 per share, or 49%.
Net loss per share for 2001 based on the results of operations net of bankruptcy
expenses improved to $0.65 per share.

     The Company experienced negative EBITDA in the amount of $13,371,826 for
the year ended December 31, 2001, compared with negative EBITDA of $34,532,032
for the year ended December 31, 2000, reflecting an improvement in negative
EBITDA of $21,160,206, or 61%.  Adjusted EBITDA reflects the add-back of non-
cash charges related to loss on impairment of goodwill of $17,360,825 for the
year ended December 31, 2001, and related to stock issuance expenses of $204,862
and loss on impairment of goodwill of $25,000,000 for the year ended December
31, 2000.  For the year ended December 31, 2001, the Company had adjusted EBITDA
of $3,988,999, compared with adjusted negative EBITDA of $9,327,170 for the year
ended December 31, 2000, reflecting an improvement in adjusted EBITDA of
$13,316,169, or 143%.

     Included in the operating expenses from continuing operations is a
$17,360,825 loss on goodwill impairment in 2001, and a $25,000,000 loss on
goodwill impairment together with a $1,265,000 loss contingency accrual
pertaining to pending litigation in 2000.  Operating expenses from continuing
operations, net of these non-recurring charges, decreased $4,382,012, or 48%, as
a result of the Company's focus on cost-cutting measures.

Results of Operations: Paisano Companies

     The operating results of the Company for both of the years ended December
31, 2000 and 2001, include the results of the Paisano Companies.

     The Paisano Companies' publishing segment includes sales generated from
subscription sales, newsstand sales and advertising sales related to the
Companies' special interest magazines. The related cost of sales includes direct
costs related to the sales, consisting primarily of printing, paper, publication
and distribution costs. The goods and services segment includes sales generated
from the sale of apparel and other products through its mail-order catalogs, one
retail store, and franchise/license programs. The related cost of sales includes
the costs of the apparel and other products. The franchising/licensing segment
includes sales generated through franchise fees charged to the operating
franchisees/licensees of the retail stores. There is no related cost of sales.
Through March 2000, the Paisano Companies' other segment primarily included
Events, which generated substantially all of its revenues from the sale of
tickets to motorcycle rodeos, motorcycle shows, and tattoo shows. As discussed
in Footnote 12 - Long-Term Liabilities, in March, 2000, the Company licensed its
rights to produce and manage these events. Since then, such revenues have been
generated through royalties and license fees paid pursuant to this Events
outsourcing transaction. Cost of sales for the other segment consists primarily
of direct costs of promoting the events.

     The Paisano Companies' total sales increased $711,838, or 3%, from
$27,553,095 for the year ended December 31, 2000 to $28,264,933 for the year
ended December 31, 2001.  This increase can be substantially attributed to a
combination of (1) reduced revenues from Easyriders of Columbus of  $874,025, as
a result of  this store being sold in April 2000, (2) reduced revenues from
Easyriders Events of $1,035,854, as a result of a restructuring in March 2000
under which a third party licensed the rights to produce and manage events and
to sell event-specific

                                       29
<PAGE>

merchandise, offset by (3) increased revenues from Paisano Publications of
$2,621,717. The improvement in Paisano Publications' revenues can be attributed
to several factors. Newstand revenues increased $1.8 million, which can be
substantially attributed to a) one more issue of Easyriders magazine being
published in 2001 than in 2000 (increased revenues of $789,733), b) Tailgate
magazine being on the market for the entire year of 2001, versus six months in
2000 (increased revenues of $177,754), c) V-Twin magazine's new improved format
(increased revenues of $450,396), and d) the remainder of the increase
attributable to improved promotion efforts and the continued popularity of the
market for Harley-Davidsons and tattoos. Advertising event revenues increased
$0.4 million as a result of the first annual V-Twin Expo. In addition,
advertising revenues increased $0.3 million as a result of the addition of
several tabacco advertisers.

     The Paisano Companies' gross margin increased $3,777,707, or 105%, from
$3,610,039 for the year ended December 31, 2000, to $7,387,746 for the year
ended December 31, 2001.  As a percentage of sales, gross margin for the Paisano
Companies increased from 13% to 26%.  The increase in gross margin can be
attributed to 1) an increase in gross margin in the publishing segment of
$2,943,262 primarily due to a combination of a) improved sales performance on
the newsstand ($1.8 million), increased advertising revenues ($0.3 million), and
increased subscription revenues ($0.2 million), combined with b) reduced
magazine overhead costs ($0.7 million) as a result of personnel reductions and
the purchase of more efficient printing equipment, 2) an increase in gross
margin of $1,062,414 in the goods and services segment, of which $500,000 of the
increase is attributable to the SSS licensing agreement, and the remainder is
the result of reduced personnel costs, reduced travel, and a decrease other
operating expenses, and offset by 3) a decrease in gross margin from the other
operations segment of $227,969, primarily resulting from the closure of the
other operating divisions in 2000.

     The Paisano Companies' loss from operations improved $15,257,987, or 53%,
from $28,580,164 for the year ended December 31, 2000, to $13,322,177 for the
year ended December 31, 2001.  Net of the impact of the $25,000,000 and
$17,360,825 losses on goodwill impairment recorded in the operating expenses for
the years ended December 31, 2000 and 2001, respectively, the loss from
operations improved $7,618,812, or 213%.  This net improvement can be attributed
to the reduction in operating expenses of $3,841,105 and the increase in gross
margin of $3,777,707.  The reduction in operating expenses can be substantially
attributed to 1) a $1.3 million reduction in legal and professional expense,
which was high in 2000 as a result of a year-end accrual for pending litigation,
2) a $0.3 million reduction in consulting fees to a related party as a result of
the termination of the consulting contract effective December 2000, and 3) a
$1.8 million reduction in goodwill amortization, $866,470 of the reduction being
attributable to accelerated amortization of the goodwill attributed to
Easyriders of Columbus, as such store was sold effective April 30, 2000.

     Expenses of the Paisano Companies not allocated to any specific segment
amounted to $17,417,351 for the year ended December 31, 2001, and $27,276,082
for the year ended December 31, 2000.  The allocated expenses include payroll,
promotion, and other general and administrative expenses specifically
attributable to the business segments.  The unallocated expenses include
expenses which are not specifically attributable to a business segment.  In
2000, these unallocated expenses include legal and professional fees,
accelerated amortization of goodwill related to the Company's Columbus retail
operations, and the loss on goodwill impairment.  In 2001, these

                                       30
<PAGE>

unallocated expenses include professional and other fees resulting from the
bankruptcy filings, and the loss on goodwill impairment.

     Payroll and related benefits for Paisano Publications remained relatively
constant, increasing only $7,595, or 1%, from $1,201,660 for the year ended
December 31, 2000 to $1,209,255 for the year ended December 31, 2001.
Depreciation and amortization for the years ended December 31, 2001 and 2000
totaled $1,261,718 and $3,087,066, respectively, of which $946,200 for the year
ended December 31, 2001, and $2,723,618 for the year ended December 31, 2000,
relates to the amortization of the goodwill created upon the Paisano Companies'
acquisition by the Company.  In addition, the amortization for the year ended
December 31, 2000 includes $866,470 of accelerated amortization of the goodwill
attributed to Easyriders of Columbus, as such store was sold effective April 30,
2000.

     Interest expense for the Paisano Companies decreased $948,643, or 34%, from
$2,822,433 for the year ended December 31, 2000 to $1,873,790 for the year ended
December 31, 2001. This decrease can be attributed to 1) the fact that since the
payment that was made for the month of September 2001, the Company has stopped
paying or accruing interest on the Nomura Indebtedness at the recommendation of
the Bankruptcy Court, and 2) the decline in the prime rate from 9.5% at December
2000 to 4.75% at December 2001.

     The net loss for the Paisano Companies improved $15,292,545, or 50%, from
$30,602,357 for the year ended December 31, 2000 to $15,309,812 for the year
ended December 31, 2001. Adjusting for the non-recurring losses of $25,000,000
and $17,360,825 from the impairment of goodwill recorded in 2000 and 2001,
respectively, the results improved $7,653,370, or 137%. This improvement in
results can be attributed to a combination of factors. Several divisions
substantially ceased operations by the end of 2000 as a result of being sold or
restructured. Net income from EFI decreased $3,106,084, net income from Events
declined $909,121, and net income from Columbus decreased $233,609. To offset
these decreases in net income, gross margin from the remaining Paisano Companies
increased $4,199,416, general and administrative expenses decreased $1,196,936,
depreciation expense decreased $1,795,956, and interest expense decreased
$956,942, all for reasons explained above. In addition, other expenses decreased
$3,747,633 primarily as the result of losses recognized on the closures of EFI
and Columbus in 2000. EBITDA for the year, after adjustment for the goodwill
impairment charges, improved by $4,873,074, from EBITDA of $313,447 for the year
ended December 31, 2000 to EBITDA of $5,186,521 for the year ended December 31,
2001.

     The principal raw material used in the publishing operations of the Paisano
Companies is paper. Paper costs represented approximately 18% and 17% of Paisano
Publications' production, selling and other direct costs for the fiscal years
ended December 31, 2001 and 2000, respectively. Certain commodity grades of
paper have shown considerable price volatility over the last decade.  There can
be no assurance that future fluctuations in paper prices will not have a
material adverse effect on the Paisano Companies' results of operations or
financial condition.

     The profitability of the Paisano Companies' publishing segment is also
affected by the cost of postage and could be materially adversely affected if
there is an increase in postal rates. No assurance can be given that the
publishing segment can recoup paper or postal cost increases by passing them
through to its advertisers and readers. In addition, future fluctuations in
paper prices

                                       31
<PAGE>

and/or postal rates could have a materially adverse effect on the results of
operations and financial condition of the publishing segments.

The fiscal year ended December 31, 2000 compared to the fiscal year ended
December 31, 1999

Results of Operations of Easyriders Inc., and subsidiaries

     During the year ended December 31, 2000, the Company experienced a net loss
in the amount of $43,186,544, compared with a net loss of $14,103,558 for the
twelve months ended December 31, 1999, reflecting an increased loss of
$29,082,986, or 206%. The increased loss can be substantially attributed to an
increase in operating expenses of $21,610,834 (including a $25,000,000 goodwill
impairment loss), an increase in interest expense of $698,762, a $6,692,140
increase in loss from discontinued operations, and an increase in other expenses
of $351,095, offset by an improvement in gross margin of $269,845. Net loss from
continuing operations increased $22,390,846, or 160%.

     On October 5, 2000, the Company sold all of the interests in El Paso. As a
result, the subsidiary is reflected as discontinued operations for all periods
presented in the accompanying financial statements.

     The Company's net loss per share increased $0.94 per share, or 145%, to
$1.59 per share for the year ended December 31, 2000, as compared to a net loss
of $0.65 per share for the year ended December 31, 1999.  Net loss per share
from continuing operations increased $0.69 per share, or 106%.

     The Company experienced negative EBITDA in the amount of $34,532,032 for
the year ended December 31, 2000, compared with negative EBITDA of $7,094,091
for the year ended December 31, 1999, reflecting an increase in negative EBITDA
of $27,437,941, or 387%.  Adjusted EBITDA reflects the add-back of non-cash
charges related to stock issuance expenses of $204,862 and loss on impairment of
goodwill of $25,000,000 for the year ended December 31, 2000, and stock issuance
expenses of $739,379 for the year ended December 31, 1999.  For the year ended
December 31, 2000, the Company had adjusted negative EBITDA of $9,327,170,
compared with adjusted negative EBITDA of $6,354,712 for the year ended December
31, 1999, reflecting an increase in adjusted negative EBITDA of $2,972,458, or
47%.

     Included in the operating expenses from continuing operations is a
$25,000,000 loss on goodwill impairment and a $1,265,000 loss contingency
accrual pertaining to currently pending litigation.  Operating expenses from
continuing operations, net of these non-recurring charges, decreased $4,654,166,
or 33%, as a result of the Company's focus on cost-cutting measures.

Results of Operations: Paisano Companies

     The operating results of the Company for both of the years ended December
31, 1999 and 2000, include the results of the Paisano Companies.

     The Paisano Companies' publishing segment includes sales generated from
subscription sales, newsstand sales and advertising sales related to the
Companies' special interest magazines.

                                       32

The related cost of sales includes direct costs related to the sales, consisting
primarily of printing, paper, publication and distribution costs. The goods and
services segment includes sales generated from the sale of apparel and other
products through its mail-order catalogs, one retail store, and
franchise/license programs. The related cost of sales includes the costs of the
apparel and other products. The franchising/licensing segment includes sales
generated through franchise fees charged to the operating franchisees/licensees
of the retail stores. There is no related cost of sales. Through March 2000, the
Paisano Companies' other segment primarily included Events, which generated
substantially all of its revenues from the sale of tickets to motorcycle rodeos,
motorcycle shows, and tattoo shows. As discussed in Footnote 12 - Long-Term
Liabilities, in March, 2000, the Company licensed its rights to produce and
manage these events. Since then, such revenues have been generated through
royalties and license fees paid pursuant to this Events outsourcing transaction.
Cost of sales for the other segment consists primarily of direct costs of
promoting the events.

     The Paisano Companies' total sales decreased $5,648,448, or 17%, from
$33,201,543 for the year ended December 31, 1999 to $27,553,095 for the year
ended December 31, 2000. This decrease can be substantially attributed to a
combination of (1) reduced revenues from Easyriders of Columbus of $1,260,847,
as a result of this store being sold in April 2000, (2) reduced revenues from
Easyriders Events of $1,644,222, as a result of a restructuring in March 2000
under which a third party licensed the rights to produce and manage events and
to sell event-specific merchandise, and (3) reduced revenues from Paisano
Publications of $2,648,824, as a result of the reduction in frequency of
American Rodder magazine, the cessation of the Metal Hammer magazine and the
outsourcing of the Bros Club division.

     The Paisano Companies' gross margin increased $269,845, or 8%, from
$3,340,194 for the year ended December 31, 1999, to $3,610,039 for the year
ended December 31, 2000.  As a percentage of sales, gross margin for the Paisano
Companies increased from 10% to 13%.  The increase in gross margin can be
attributed to the variable costs saved as a result of the decreases in sales for
these periods, and to the reduction in payroll costs related to the Events
division which was outsourced through a licensing agreement in March 2000.

     The Paisano Companies' loss from operations increased $21,843,203, or 324%,
from $6,736,961 for the year ended December 31, 1999, to $28,580,164 for the
year ended December 31, 2000. Net of the impact of the $25,000,000 loss on
goodwill impairment recorded in the operating expenses for the year ended
December 31, 2000, the loss from operations decreased $3,156,797, or 47%. This
net decrease can be attributed to the decrease in operating expenses of
$1,821,474 and the increase in gross margin of $1,335,323. The decrease in
operating expenses can be attributed to the reduction in legal and professional
expenses, which were unusually high in 1999 as a result of pending litigation
which was settled in the first quarter of 2000.

     Expenses of the Paisano Companies not allocated to any specific segment
amounted to $27,276,082 for the year ended December 31, 2000, and $1,931,856 for
the year ended December 31, 1999. The allocated expenses include payroll,
promotion, and other general and administrative expenses specifically
attributable to the business segments. The unallocated expenses represent legal
and professional fees, accelerated amortization of goodwill related to the
Company's Columbus retail operations, and the loss on goodwill impairment, all
of which are not specifically attributable to a business segment.

                                       33
<PAGE>

     Payroll and related benefits for Paisano Publications decreased $471,375,
or 28%, from $1,673,035 for the year ended December 31, 1999 to $1,201,660 for
the year ended December 31, 2000.  This decrease is the result of efforts to
reduce costs by decreasing total personnel.  Depreciation and amortization for
the years ended December 31, 2000 and 1999 totaled $3,057,674 and $2,2265,015,
respectively, of which $2,723,618 for the year ended December 31, 2000, and
$1,878,476 for the year ended December 31, 1999, relates to the amortization of
the goodwill created upon the Paisano Companies' acquisition by the Company.  In
addition, the amortization for the year ended December 31, 2000 includes
$866,470 of accelerated amortization of the goodwill attributed to Easyriders of
Columbus, as such store was sold effective April 30, 2000.

     Interest expense for the Paisano Companies increased $460,703, or 20%, from
$2,361,730 for the year ended December 31, 1999 to $2,822,433 for the year ended
December 31, 2000. This increase is primarily attributable to increases in the
prime rate, and additional borrowings under the Revolving Loan.

     The net loss for the Paisano Companies increased $21,376,171, or 232%, from
$9,226,186 for the year ended December 31, 1999 to $30,602,357 for the year
ended December 31, 2000.  Adjusting for a one-time loss of $25,000,000 from the
impairment of goodwill recorded in 2000, the net loss decreased $3,623,829, or
39%.  This decrease in the net loss can be attributed to a reduction of legal
and professional fees, combined with a reduction in expenses incurred by the
Events division as a result of the licensing of the rights to conduct the events
to a third party in March 2000, and offset by the net loss resulting from the
sale of Columbus and the increase in interest expense.  EBITDA for the year,
after adjustment for the $25,000,000 goodwill impairment charge, improved by
$4,863,152, from a negative EBITDA of $4,549,705 for the year ended December 31,
1999 to a positive EBITDA of $313,447 for the year ended December 31, 2000.

     The principal raw material used in the publishing operations of the Paisano
Companies is paper. Paper costs represented approximately 15% and 16% of Paisano
Publications' production, selling and other direct costs for the fiscal years
ended December 31, 2000 and 1999, respectively. Certain commodity grades of
paper have shown considerable price volatility over the last decade. There can
be no assurance that future fluctuations in paper prices will not have a
material adverse effect on the Paisano Companies' results of operations or
financial condition.

     The profitability of the Paisano Companies' publishing segment is also
affected by the cost of postage and could be materially adversely affected if
there is an increase in postal rates. No assurance can be given that the
publishing segment can recoup paper or postal cost increases by passing them
through to its advertisers and readers. In addition, future fluctuations in
paper prices and/or postal rates could have a materially adverse effect on the
results of operations and financial condition of the publishing segments.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

     The Company's primary cash requirements are to fund the Company's operating
costs (primarily payroll and related expenses) and working capital needs
(primarily accounts receivable, inventory, prepaid expenses and debt service).
On December 31, 2001, the Company had positive

                                       34
<PAGE>

working capital of $1.0 million, due primarily to the reclassification of pre-
petition liabilities of $36.2 million.

     Cash provided by operating activities from continuing operations during the
year ended December 31, 2001 totaled approximately $0.5 million. The operating
loss of $17.1 million was increased by $0.1 million of gains on the Martin
Unwind and the sale of assets and was offset by several non-cash charges
including $1.3 million for depreciation and amortization, $0.1 million for
expenses settled with common stock, $0.2 million of amortization of debt
issuance costs, $0.1 million of non-cash interest expense, and $17.3 million for
the loss on the impairment of goodwill. Cash of $1.3 million was used by changes
in operating accounts.

     Upon its acquisition by Easyriders, Inc., Paisano Publications obtained an
aggregate of $22,000,000 in financing (the Nomura Indebtedness) from a financial
institution, Nomura Holding America ("Nomura").  This financing was comprised of
a $17,000,000 senior term loan (the Term Loan) and a $5,000,000 revolving loan
(the Revolving Loan).  The proceeds from the Term Loan plus $3,500,000 of the
Revolving Loan were used to repay certain promissory notes issued to the seller
of the Paisano Companies in conjunction with the Paisano Acquisition (see
Footnote 3 - Acquisitions) and to pay certain acquisition expenses.

     The Nomura Indebtedness was guaranteed (the Guarantees) by Easyriders and
the Paisano Companies, other than Paisano Publications (the Guarantors). The
Nomura Indebtedness matured on September 23, 2001, and bears interest at an
annual rate equal to the prime rate (4.75 % at December 31, 2001) plus 1.85%,
payable monthly. The Nomura Indebtedness and the Guarantees were secured by a
first priority security interest in substantially all of the tangible and
intangible assets (owned or hereafter acquired) of Easyriders and the Paisano
Companies, including all of the capital stock or equity interests of the Paisano
Companies and Newriders. The Nomura Indebtedness and the Guarantees by their
terms constitute the primary senior secured indebtedness of Paisano Publications
and the Guarantors, ranking senior to all other indebtedness of Paisano
Publications and the Guarantors.

     The Nomura Indebtedness, approximately $21.0 million, became due and
payable on September 23, 2001. In view of the Company's inability to repay the
entire principal on such date, and Nomura's unwillingness to accept a lesser
amount, or to extend the maturity date, Easyriders, Inc. and Paisano
Publications filed voluntary petitions for relief under Chapter 11 of the
Bankruptcy Code on July 17, 2001. On July 20, 2001 the Bankrupcy Court approved
the first of several stipulations (each a "CCS") permitting the two companies to
remain in operation as debtors-in-possession and to use the "cash collateral" of
Nomura pursuant to an approved budget. Subsequently, an Official Committee of
Unsecured Creditors (the "OCC") was formed to represent the interests of the
unsecured creditors. In accordance with the "First CCS" and the "Second CCS",
and the budgets applicable thereto, the Company thereafter made payments to
Nomura (with no agreement as to the application of such payments) computed in an
amount equal to Nomura's pre-Chapter 11 interest (the "Computed Payments"), in
the full amount thereof, for the months of May, June, July, August and
September, 2001.

     Pursuant to the terms of the Second CCS, the Company was required to
deposit all of their "Net Income" (as defined in the Second CCS) after payment
of the amounts to Nomura set forth above into a segregated bank account (the
"Blocked Account").  At a hearing held on October 24,

                                       35
<PAGE>

2001, the Bankruptcy Court ordered the Company to stop making any further
payments to Nomura and to deposit the payments that the Company would otherwise
have made to Nomura into the Blocked Account. Thereafter, the Court approved the
Company's requests to continue using cash collateral pursuant to approved
budgets, the last such order having been entered on March 4, 2002, for the
period commencing on that date and ending June 30, 2002.

     Prior to its filing for Chapter 11 relief on July 17, 2001, the Company
made regular monthly interest payments to Nomura in respect of the Nomura
Indebtedness.  After its bankruptcy filing, in accordance with orders of the
Bankruptcy Court, the Company continued to make such payments to Nomura through
October 31, 2001 (the "Post-Petition Payments").  No agreement was made between
the parties and no order of the Bankruptcy Court was issued as to the
application of any of the Post-Petition Payments made by the Debtors to Nomura.
Under the Bankruptcy Code, if the value of Nomura's collateral is less than the
amount of Nomura's "allowed claim," Nomura is not entitled to any post-
bankruptcy interest and Nomura's allowed claim is bifurcated into an allowed
secured claim equal to the value of Nomura's collateral and an allowed unsecured
claim equal to the balance of Nomura's allowed claim.  The Company believes that
the funds used to make the Post-Petition Payments to Nomura was not part of
Nomura's collateral and therefore should reduce the amount of Nomura's allowed
secured claim on a dollar-for-dollar basis.  Pursuant to the Global Settlement
described above in Part 1, under "Recent Developments", Nomura would be allowed
to retain its Post-Petition Payments, but would waive all claims to any portion
of the cash accumulated by the Company post-petition.  Until the Global
Settlement is approved by the Bankruptcy Court, the Company will continue to
report all Post-Petition Payments made to Nomura as interest, and if a
determination is made at some later date that such Post-Petition Payments to
Nomura do not constitute interest to Nomura, the Company will show such
adjustment in its financial reports.

     During the pendency of the Chapter 11 cases, Nomura is prevented from
foreclosing on its collateral pursuant to the automatic stay provisions of the
Bankruptcy Code absent a Bankruptcy Court order to the contrary.

     The Nomura Credit Agreement set forth (a) requirements for payments to
Nomura out of Excess Cash Flow, (b) conditions under which dividends can be paid
and advances made by Paisano Publications to the Company out of Excess Cash
Flow, and (c) numerous operating and financial covenants, including but not
limited to, payment of dividends, limitations on indebtedness and the
maintenance of minimum net worth, minimum working capital, interest coverage
ratios and the achievement of cash flow measures. These provisions were
superseded by the CCS orders and subsequent Bankruptcy Court orders, pursuant to
which all expenses of the Company and Paisano Publications, on a consolidated
basis, are being paid pursuant to court-approved budgets.

     All of the foregoing would become moot if the Global Settlement described
above in Part 1, under "Recent Developments" were to be consummated.  In such
event, and upon confirmation of the plans described therein, Easyriders and
Paisano would cease operations and instead their operations would be pursued by
the entity formed by Mr. Teresi for such purpose.

     In connection with the Paisano Acquisition, the Company issued Subordinated
Seller Notes in the aggregate amount of $13,000,000 to Joseph Teresi, the sole
shareholder of the Paisano

                                       36
<PAGE>

Companies prior to the Paisano Acquisition. The Subordinated Seller Notes
consisted of a subordinated promissory note in the amount of $5,000,000, a
limited recourse subordinated promissory note in the amount of $5,000,000
secured by the Martin Mirror Note (as defined in the applicable instruments) and
a short-term subordinated promissory note in the amount of $3,000,000. The first
two notes (the "Subordinated Notes") bear interest at an annual rate that
escalates from 6% to 10% and may be extended for an additional five years. The
remaining $3,000,000 (the "Short Term Note") was initially issued as a 90 day
note that bears interest at an annual rate of 10%. On April 3, 2000, the then
remaining principal and interest balance on the $5,000,000 subordinated
promissory note was exchanged for 3,356,710 shares of Easyriders, Inc. Common
Stock issued to Mr. Teresi. Mr. Teresi has agreed to defer collection of current
interest on the remaining $8,000,000 of the Subordinated Seller Notes until
after March 2002. Pursuant to the Bankruptcy Code, no payments of principal or
interest with respect to the Subordinated Seller Notes can be made without
Bankruptcy Court approval.

     In October 1999, Paisano Publications issued a $275,000 increasing rate
secured promissory note to an investment partnership, Siena Capital Partners,
L.P.  This loan (the "Siena Loan") is subordinate to the Nomura Indebtedness.
The loan bears interest at a rate of 20% per annum (increasing by 1% monthly
beginning April 14, 2000), and is due and payable with accrued interest on
October 14, 2000. Warrants to purchase 100,000 shares of the Common Stock of the
Company  were issued with an exercise price of $0.01 per share. If the Siena
Loan is not paid in full by July 13, 2000, the Company must issue warrants to
purchase an additional 300,000 shares of the Common Stock of the Company, and if
the balance is not paid in full by October 13, 2000, the Company must issue
warrants to purchase an additional 100,000 shares of the Common Stock of the
Company. Thereafter, until the loan is paid off in full, the Company must issue
warrants to purchase 150,000 shares of the Common Stock of the Company on the
13th day of each month.

     As of April 13, 2000 the Company did not possess the resources to pay off
the Siena Loan. However, John Martin and Joseph Teresi were granted a right of
first refusal in connection with any assignment of the Siena Loan. Based on this
right, the Company pursued negotiations with Mr. Teresi and Mr. Martin
concerning their assumption of the Siena Loan upon terms more favorable to the
Company. These negotiations were successful and on April 13, 2000, Mr. Martin
and Mr. Teresi each paid to Siena the sum of $137,500 and assumed the position
of Siena with respect to the Siena Loan. Concurrently, the first 100,000
warrants vested, and Mr. Martin and Mr. Teresi agreed to make the following
modifications to the Siena Loan terms:

     .  The interest rate was reduced from 20% per annum to 13% per annum.

     .  Provided the Siena Loan is paid off by December 31, 2000, twenty percent
        (20%) of all warrants vested by and through such date will be
        surrendered.

     As of December 31, 2000, the Company did not possess the resources to pay
off the Siena Loan.  As a result, as provided under the modified terms, an
additional 350,000 warrants vested to each of Mr. Martin and Mr. Teresi.  In
addition, as of March 13, 2001, the Company still did not possess the resources
to pay off the Siena Loan and, as a result, an additional 225,000 warrants have
vested to each of Mr. Martin and Mr. Teresi.  As of March 30, 2001, Mr. Teresi
aquired all of Mr. Martin's interest in the Siena Loan, and all warrants vested
up to such date. Concurrently, in

                                       37
<PAGE>

an amendment to the terms of the loan, Mr. Teresi relinquished the right to
receive additional warrants.

     On October 5, 2000, the Company sold all interests in El Paso Bar-B-Que
Company to a newly formed subsidiary of Culinary Holdings, Inc. for a
combination of cash in the amount of $4,000,000 and the assumption of
liabilities in the amount of approximately $6,700,000.  In accordance with the
terms of the sale transaction, the Company forgave a net intercompany receivable
of $782,753. In addition, Culinary Holdings assumed $1,000,000 of convertible
debentures held by a director of the Company, who thereupon released the Company
from all obligation in connection therewith.

     The Company, as it is currently configured, is presently able to meet its
liquidity obligations.  This is due in large part to the protections afforded by
Chapter 11, which suspended the obligation of the Company to service secured and
unsecured debt, and to pay obligations accrued as of the filing date.  If the
Global Settlement transaction is consummated, it is anticipated that the Company
will liquidate pursuant to the related Plan of Reorganization.  If the Global
Settlement is not approved, it is not presently possible to predict the outcome
of the Chapter 11 cases.

     The Company is exposed to a variety of risks that could materially affect
liquidity, including reduced advertising revenues resulting from economic
downturns, increased paper costs which are a primary component of cost of sales
in the magazine publishing segment, and increased costs resulting from increased
postal rates.

Transactions with Related and Certain Other Parties

Joseph Teresi Transactions

     1. Working Capital Adjustment
        --------------------------

     In accordance with the agreement pursuant to which the Company acquired the
Paisano Companies from Joseph Teresi in the Reorganization, a post-closing
adjustment was to be made based upon the amount by which working capital of the
Paisano Companies as of the closing of the acquisition exceeded or was less than
$4,537,000.  Based upon a closing date balance sheet prepared by the Company,
the Company determined that the working capital of the Paisano Companies as of
the closing was less than $4,537,000.  Mr. Teresi disputed that determination.
After protracted negotiations, the Board of Directors of the Company agreed on
March 19,1999 to accept a note from Mr. Teresi (the "Teresi Payable") in the
amount of $398,085 in satisfaction of the working capital adjustment.

     The Teresi Payable does not bear interest and, subject to prior payment in
the circumstances described below, is due when the entire principal and interest
on the $13,000,000 of promissory notes issued by the Company to Mr. Teresi as
partial consideration for the acquisition of the Paisano Companies has been paid
in full.  Certain aged receivables of the Company which have been fully reserved
by the Company have been identified (the "Receivables") and to the extent
collections are received on the Receivables, a percentage of such collections
will be credited against the Teresi Payable.  In addition, if the Company
determines that the amount of a pension accrual with respect to pre-
Reorganization operations of the Paisano Companies should be decreased, the
Teresi Payable will be reduced by the amount of such decrease.  Furthermore, to
the extent that certain fully reserved inventory of the Company is sold or used
by the Company for promotional purposes, the Teresi Payable will be reduced by
the amount of sale proceeds or value assigned by the Company to such promotional
use.  Also, if the Company receives a refund of any portion of a specified
foreign tax payable by the Company, the Teresi Payable will be reduced by the
amount of such refund.  From and after the time the Teresi Payable has been
reduced to zero,

                                       39
<PAGE>

Mr. Teresi will be entitled to receive (in cash, or if any of the Nomura
Indebtedness is outstanding, in the form of a non-interest bearing receivable
from the Company) the applicable percentage of collections on the Receivables
and all amounts, if any, attributable to a reduction in such pension accrual and
the sale or promotional use of such inventory. Since becoming established, the
Teresi Payable has been reduced to a current balance of $265,408 by the
collection of Receivables and other assets in the amount of $12,966.

     2. Promissory Notes
        ----------------

     Mr. Teresi, sole stockholder of Paisano Publications prior to the
Reorganization, was issued 6,493,507 shares of the Company's common stock in the
Reorganization.  In addition, Mr. Teresi received promissory notes aggregating
$13,000,000 (the "Contributor Notes").  The Contributor Notes originally
consisted of a Subordinated 7% promissory note in the amount of $5,000,000, a
limited recourse Subordinated 7% promissory note in the amount of $5,000,000
secured by the Martin Mirror Note (as defined in the applicable instruments) and
a Subordinated Short Term 10% promissory note in the amount of $3,000,000. Since
the closing of the Reorganization, Mr. Teresi, with the approval of the Board of
Directors, has (a) surrendered the Subordinated 7% Note in exchange for the
issuance to Mr. Teresi of 4,754,120 shares in two separate transactions, (b)
extended the maturity date of the Subordinated Short Term 10% Note to March 31,
2002, and (c) deferred the collection of interest on the Subordinated Short Term
10% Note to March 31, 2002.

     As of April 1, 2002, the Company's promissory note obligations to Mr.
Teresi were as follows:

respect to the foregoing promissory notes can be made to Mr. Teresi without the
approval of the Bankruptcy Court.

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

     Effective April 3, 2000 the Company's Board of Directors accepted a

among other things, the assets of the Company's subsidiary, Easyriders of
Columbus, were sold to Mr. Teresi as of April 30, 2000 (the "Columbus
Transaction"), in exchange for forgiveness by Mr. Teresi of certain financial

                                       40
<PAGE>

obligations owed to him by Paisano Publications and/or the Company. The total
amount of forgiveness was $419,149. Upon closing of the Columbus Transaction,
Mr. Teresi continued operating the business as "Easyriders of Columbus" pursuant
to a licensing agreement (the "Licensing Agreement") between Teresi
Publications, Inc. a Delaware corporation controlled by Mr. Teresi ("Teresi

exclusive right for a ten year period (with options to extend) to produce and
manage events and to sell event-specific merchandise under the Easyriders brand
(the "Events Agreement").  The principals of API are Melissa Penland, an apparel
manufacturer with extensive event-merchandise experience, and John Green, a
current licensee of Easyriders Licensing and owner of the Daytona Easyriders
Store.  In addition, Mr. Teresi loaned API the sum of $750,000.  Under this
arrangement, all responsibilities for production, scheduling, staffing,

that guarantees the Company a minimum level of royalties, plus a percentage of
gross revenues from gate and merchandise sales.

     The Events Agreement is described in full in the Company's definitive Proxy
Statement on Form 14-A filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on May
1, 2000, which statement is hereby incorporated by reference.

"Video Agreement") with Teresi Publications concerning the library of
videocassette tapes owned by Paisano and based on motorcycle-theme events and
shows (the "Videos"). The Videos were then held in inventory and are marketed on
a direct sale basis through advertising in Paisano's magazines. Under the Video
Agreement, Paisano Publications engaged Teresi Publications to store the Videos,
and fulfill all direct mail orders generated by Paisano Publications in
connection therewith. In consideration for the performance of such services,
Teresi Publications, as license of the Easyriders of Columbus retail store, was
granted a merchandise credit equal to 67% of the proceeds generated from the
sale of such Videos, redeemable for Easyriders-branded merchandise to be sold
under the Licensing Agreement. The Video Agreement remains in full force and
effect. During 2001 such merchandise credit was exercised in the amount of

Forward-Looking Information and Certain Factors

     Certain statements in this Form 10-K and in future filings by the Company
with the Securities and Exchange Commission, in the Company's press releases,
and in oral statements made by or with the approval of an authorized executive
officer constitute "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of the
Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 (the "Reform Act").  The
forward-looking statements are subject to numerous risks and uncertainties that
could cause actual results to differ materially from those set forth in such
forward-looking statements.  Such risks and uncertainties include, without
limitation, risks associated with future capital needs, management of growth,
availability of adequate financing, integration of business operations,
concentration of stock ownership, restrictions imposed on the Company by the
Lender, the magazine publishing and restaurant business, paper, and other raw
material prices and other factors discussed herein, in the Company's
Prospectus/Proxy Statement on Form S-4 dated September 8, 1998 and other filings
submitted to the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

     In January 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board Emerging Issues
Task Force issued EITF 00-27 effective for convertible debt instruments issued
after November 16, 2000.  This pronouncement requires the use of the intrinsic
value method for recognition of the detachable and imbedded equity features
included with indebtedness, and requires amortization of the amount associated
with the convertibility feature over the life of the debt instrument rather than

                                       43
<PAGE>

the period for which the instrument first becomes convertible.  Inasmuch as all
debt instruments that were entered into prior to November 16, 2000 and all of
the debt discount relating to the beneficial conversion feature was previously
recognized as expense in accordance with EITF 98-5, there is no impact on these
financial statements.  This EITF 00-27, could impact future financial
statements, should the Company enter into such agreements.

     In July 2001, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141 "Business Combinations."  SFAS
No. 141 supersedes Accounting Principles Board ("APB") No. 16 and requires that
any business combinations initiated after June 30, 2001 be accounted for as a
purchase; therefore, eliminating the pooling-of-interest method defined in APB
16.  The statement is effective for any business combination initiated after
June 30, 2001 and shall apply to all business combinations accounted for by the
purchase method for which the date of acquisition is July 1, 2001 or later.  The
statement did not have a material impact to the Company's financial position or
results of operations since the Company has not participated in such activities
covered under this pronouncement.

     In July 2001, the FASB issued SFAS No. 142, "Goodwill and Other
Intangibles." SFAS No. 142 addresses the initial recognition, measurement and
amortization of intangible assets acquired individually or with a group of other
assets (but not those acquired in a business combination) and addresses the
amortization provisions for excess cost over fair value of net assets acquired
or intangibles acquired in a business combination. The statement is effective
for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2001, and is effective July 1,
2001 for any intangibles acquired in a business combination initiated after June
30, 2001. The Company is evaluating the accounting effect, if any, arising from
this SFAS on the Company's financial position or results of operations.

     In October 2001, the FASB recently issued SFAS No. 143, "Accounting for
Asset Retirement Obligations," which requires companies to record the fair value
of a liability for asset retirement obligations in the period in which they are
incurred.  The statement applies to a company's legal obligations associated
with the retirement of a tangible long-lived asset that results from the
acquisition, construction, and development or through the normal operation of a
long-lived asset.  When a liability is initially recorded, the company would
capitalize the cost, thereby increasing the carrying amount of the related
asset.  The capitalized asset retirement cost is depreciated over the life of
the respective asset while the liability is accreted to its present value.  Upon
settlement of the liability, the obligation is settled at its recorded amount or
the company incurs a gain or loss. The statement is effective for fiscal years
beginning after June 30, 2002.  The Company does not expect the adoption to have
a material impact to the Company's financial position or results of operations.

     In October 2001, the FASB issued SFAS No. 144, "Accounting for the
Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets".  Statement 144 addresses the
accounting and reporting for the impairment or disposal of long-lived assets.
The statement provides a single accounting model for long-lived assets to be
disposed of.  New criteria must be met to classify the asset as an asset held-
for-sale. This statement also focuses on reporting the effects of a disposal of
a segment of a business.  This statement is effective for fiscal years beginning
after December 15, 2001.  The Company does not expect the adoption to have a
material impact to the Company's financial position or results of operations.

Item 7a.  Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosure About Market Risk
          ---------------------------------------------------------

     The Company is exposed to a variety of risks, including paper price
volatility and changes in interest rates affecting the cost of its debt.

Paper Price Volatility

     A primary component of the Company's cost of sales in the magazine
publishing segment is the cost of paper.  Consequently, increases in paper
prices can adversely impact the Company results of operations.

Interest Rates

     The Company is subject to certain interest rate risk related to the Senior
Loans.  The Senior Loans matured on September 23, 2001 and bear interest at an
annual rate equal to the prime rate of the Lender plus 1.85% payable monthly.
Excluding any effect from the Default Rate of interest asserted by Nomura, the
interest rate on the balance of $20,968,002 outstanding on December 31, 2001 was
6.6 %.  An increase in interest rates of 1% would result in an increase in
interest expense of approximately $210,000.

     The Company's remaining long-term debt has fixed interest rates and
therefore the Company does not believe an increase in interest rates would have
a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements.

     Notwithstanding the foregoing, as noted above under Part I, Item 1,
Footnote 1 under "Basis of Presentation," post-petition payments to Nomura may
not ultimately be deemed to be "interest."

     Directors' Compensation

     Annual Formula Grants of 15,000 shares under option are provided for each
non-employee director of the Company.  In addition, the Chairmen of the Audit
Committee and the Compensation Committee each receive 15,000 shares of
restricted stock annually.  Directors receive no other compensation for service
on the Company's Board of Directors, but are reimbursed for expenses incurred in
connection with attending meetings of the Company's Board of Directors and any
committee thereof.

     Employment Agreements

     The Company entered into an employment agreement with J. Robert Fabregas
dated January 4, 1999, which provides that he will serve as Executive Vice
President of Finance and Chief Financial Officer for an initial term of three
years, such term of employment to continue thereafter unless and until
terminated by either party upon no less than sixty days written notice.  Mr.
Fabregas' annual salary is $185,000.  Mr. Fabregas' employment agreement
provides Mr. Fabregas the same benefits package as made available to other
executive officers.  Effective October 5, 2000, Mr. Fabregas was appointed
Interim Chief Executive Officer.  As of March 1, 2001, Mr. Fabregas was
appointed Chief Executive Officer.

     The Company entered into an employment agreement with Joseph Teresi dated
September 23, 1998, which provides that he will serve as Chairman and Publisher
of Paisano Publications for an initial term of the earlier of (a) five years, or
(b) the date on which the principal and interest is paid in full on the
Contributor Notes.  Mr. Teresi's term of employment is to continue thereafter
unless and until terminated by either party upon no less than sixty days written
notice.  Mr. Teresi's annual salary is $150,000.  Effective April 3, 2000 the
Board of Directors approved the appointment of Mr. Teresi as Chief Executive
Officer of Paisano Publications.

     Compensation Committee Interlocks and Insider Participation

     During the year 2001, the members of the Compensation Committee of the
Board of Directors were John Corrigan and Stewart Gordon.  None of such persons
serves or has ever served as an officer or employee of the Company or any of its
subsidiaries. During 2001, none of such persons were involved in material
transactions with the Company, or had material business relationships with the
Company.  None of such persons serve or during 2001 served as an officer or
director of any entity whose executive officers, directors or Compensation
Committee members

                                       49
<PAGE>

included another director or executive officer of the Company, or a member of
the Company's Compensation Committee.

                    REPORT OF THE COMPENSATION COMMITTEE AND
            THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS REGARDING EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION

   The Compensation Committee (the "Compensation Committee") of the Board of
Directors reviews and recommends to the Board of Directors matters relating to
the compensation of the Company's executive officers.  The Compensation
Committee is comprised of two outside directors, none of whom is an employee or
former employee of the Company.

Compensation Philosophy

   The Company's executive compensation philosophy has the following objectives:

   (1) To provide a total compensation opportunity that is consistent with
competitive practices, enabling the Company to attract and retain qualified
executives;

   (2) To create a direct link between the compensation payable to each
executive officer and the financial performance both of the Company generally
and of the specific business unit or units for which the executive is
responsible; and,

   (3) To create a common interest between executive officers and the Company's
stockholders through the use of stock options and other stock awards that link a
portion of each executive officer's compensation opportunity directly to the
value of the Company's common stock.

Base Salary

   The base salary for Joseph Teresi was established the day of the
Reorganization pursuant to the terms of Mr. Teresi's respective employment
arrangement with Paisano.  The Compensation Committee was established after the
Reorganization and therefore, except for Mr. Fabregas, did not review any
employment agreements prior to the time they were entered into by Newriders, or
Paisano and such executives.  The Compensation Committee will make
recommendations to the Board with respect to the base salary of executives whose
employment with the Company or a subsidiary thereof begins after the
Reorganization and, as to executives whose employment with the Company or a
subsidiary thereof began prior to the Reorganization, with respect to the base
salary of such executives pursuant to any new employment arrangement entered
into after the Reorganization, in each case by comparison to competitive market
levels for the executive's job function. In this regard, the Compensation
Committee reviewed the employment agreement of Mr. Fabregas and made the
appropriate recommendations to the Board.  At the Company's current performance
level, base salaries will generally be targeted at the low-to-middle of the
range of comparable companies in the magazine publishing business.  However, if
performance improves, the Compensation Committee will seek to elevate such
target base salaries.  Salaries will be reviewed at regular intervals, depending
on job classification and competitive market levels.

                                       50
<PAGE>

Annual Bonus

   Executive officers are entitled to a discretionary bonus based upon the
Compensation Committee's recommendation and the full Board's approval.  No
bonuses were paid to any executive officers with respect to the fiscal year
ended December 31, 2001.  In order to tie compensation to performance, future
bonuses will be primarily based upon EBITDA and other performance-based targets
recommended by the Compensation Committee and approved by the Board of
Directors.

Equity Incentives

   The Plan, which was approved by the Company's stockholders in September of
1998, is administered by the Compensation Committee and its stated purpose is to
secure for the Company the benefits arising from capital stock ownership and the
receipt of capital stock-based incentives by those employees, directors,
officers and consultants of the Company who will be responsible for the
Company's future growth and continued success.  Under the Plan, equity
incentives, primarily in the form of grants to executives of stock options, will
be considered in order to tie compensation of executives to performance by the
Company.

                    Compensation of Chief Executive Officer

   Mr. Fabregas' base salary of $185,000 for 2001 was established pursuant to an
employment agreement with Easyriders that was the result of bilateral
negotiations between Mr. Fabregas and Easyriders. No specific formula was used
in determining or agreeing to Mr. Fabregas' compensation at the time his
employment agreement was entered into. Mr. Fabregas' employment agreement
provides for a discretionary incentive bonus on a yearly basis to be determined
in the sole discretion of the Company's Board of Directors.

   Effective October 5, 2000, Mr. Fabregas was appointed interim CEO, while
continuing as CFO.  His base salary of $185,000 remained unchanged.  Mr.
Fabregas was not awarded a bonus in 2001.  As of March 1, 2001, Mr. Fabregas was
appointed Chief Executive Officer.

                    Policy as to Section 162(m) of the Code

   Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, generally
denies a publicly traded company a Federal income tax deduction for compensation
in excess of $1 million paid to certain of its executive officers unless the
amount of such excess is payable based solely upon the attainment of objective
performance criteria.  For all executives eligible for bonus compensation, the
$1 million threshold is not likely to cause the Company to lose significant tax
deductions for such excess compensation (if any).

   The foregoing report has been ratified retrospectively by all current members
of the Compensation Committee.

          Stewart G. Gordon, Chairman, appointed Chairman March 1, 2001
          John P. Corrigan, appointed April 3, 2001

                            STOCK PERFORMANCE GRAPH

     The following graph compares the cumulative total return on the Newriders
Common Stock and the Easyriders Common Stock from the date on which Newriders
Common Stock began trading on the OTC Bulletin Board (July 23, 1996) through
September 23, 1998 and then the date the Easyriders Common Stock began trading
on the American Stock Exchange (September 24, 1998) through July 17, 2001, the
date that trading in the Company stock was halted as a result of a Chapter 11
bankruptcy filing, with the Broad Market American Stock Exchange Index (the
"AMEX Market Index") and Media General Industry Group Index for publishing and
periodicals (the "Peer Group Index"). The cumulative total return assumes that
$100 was invested in each of the Newriders Common Stock/Easyriders Common Stock
and the AMEX Market Index and Peer Group Index on July 23, 1996 (the date the
Newriders' stock began trading on the OTC Bulletin Board) and also assumes the
reinvestment of any dividends. Past financial performance should not be
considered a reliable indicator of future performance, and investors should not
use historical trends to anticipate results or trends in future periods.

Item 13.  Certain Relationships and Related Transactions
          ----------------------------------------------

     Joseph Teresi Transactions

     1.  Working Capital Adjustment
         --------------------------

     In accordance with the agreement pursuant to which the Company acquired the
Paisano Companies from Joseph Teresi in the Reorganization, a post-closing
adjustment was to be made based upon the amount by which working capital of the
Paisano Companies as of the closing of the acquisition exceeded or was less than
$4,537,000.  Based upon a closing date balance sheet prepared by the Company,
the Company determined that the working capital of the Paisano Companies as of
the closing was less than $4,537,000.  Mr. Teresi disputed that determination.
After protracted negotiations, the Board of Directors of the Company agreed on
March 19,1999 to accept a note from Mr. Teresi (the "Teresi Payable") in the
amount of $398,085 in satisfaction of the working capital adjustment.

     The Teresi Payable does not bear interest and, subject to prior payment in
the circumstances described below, is due when the entire principal and interest
on the $13,000,000 of promissory notes issued by the Company to Mr. Teresi as
partial consideration for the acquisition of the Paisano Companies has been paid
in full.  Certain aged receivables of the Company which have been fully reserved
by the Company have been identified (the "Receivables") and to the extent
collections are received on the Receivables, a percentage of such collections
will be credited against the Teresi Payable.  In addition, if the Company
determines that the amount of a pension accrual with respect to pre-
Reorganization operations of the Paisano Companies should be decreased, the
Teresi Payable will be reduced by the amount of such decrease.  Furthermore, to
the extent that certain fully reserved inventory of the Company is sold or used
by the Company for promotional purposes, the Teresi Payable will be reduced by
the amount of sale proceeds or value

                                       54
<PAGE>

assigned by the Company to such promotional use. Also, if the Company receives a
refund of any portion of a specified foreign tax payable by the Company, the
Teresi Payable will be reduced by the amount of such refund. From and after the
time the Teresi Payable has been reduced to zero, Mr. Teresi will be entitled to
receive (in cash, or if any of the Nomura Indebtedness is outstanding, in the
form of a non-interest bearing receivable from the Company) the applicable
percentage of collections on the Receivables and all amounts, if any,
attributable to a reduction in such pension accrual and the sale or promotional
use of such inventory. Since becoming established, the Teresi Payable has been
reduced to a current balance of $265,408 by the collection of Receivables and
other assets in the amount of $12,966.

     2.   Promissory Notes
          ----------------

     Mr. Teresi, sole stockholder of Paisano Publications prior to the
Reorganization, was issued 6,493,507 shares of the Company's common stock in the
Reorganization.  In addition, Mr. Teresi received promissory notes aggregating
$13,000,000 (the "Contributor Notes").  The Contributor Notes originally
consisted of a Subordinated 7% promissory note in the amount of $5,000,000, a
limited recourse Subordinated 7% promissory note in the amount of $5,000,000
secured by the Martin Mirror Note (as defined in the applicable instruments) and
a Subordinated Short Term 10% promissory note in the amount of $3,000,000. Since
the closing of the Reorganization, Mr. Teresi, with the approval of the Board of
Directors, has (a) surrendered the Subordinated 7% Note in exchange for the
issuance to Mr. Teresi of 4,754,120 shares in two separate transactions, (b)
extended the maturity date of the Subordinated Short Term 10% Note to March 31,
2002, and (c) deferred the collection of interest on the Subordinated Short Term
10% Note to March 31, 2002.

     As of April 1, 2002, the Company's promissory note obligations to Mr.
Teresi were as follows:

respect to the foregoing promissory notes can be made to Mr. Teresi without the
approval of the Bankruptcy Court.

the assets of the Company's subsidiary, Easyriders of Columbus, were sold to Mr.
Teresi as of April 30, 2000 (the "Columbus Transaction"), in exchange for
forgiveness by Mr. Teresi of certain financial obligations owed to him by
Paisano Publications and/or the Company. The total amount of forgiveness was

manufacturer with extensive event-merchandise experience, and John Green, a
current licensee of Easyriders Licensing and owner of the Daytona Easyriders
Store.  In addition, Mr. Teresi loaned API the sum of $750,000.  Under this

gross revenues from gate and merchandise sales.

"Video Agreement") with Teresi Publications concerning the library of
videocassette tapes owned by Paisano and based on motorcycle-theme events and
shows (the "Videos").  The Videos were then held in inventory and are marketed
on a direct sale basis through advertising in Paisano's magazines.  Under the
Video Agreement, Paisano Publications engaged Teresi Publications to store the
Videos, and fulfill all direct mail orders generated by Paisano Publications in
connection therewith.  In consideration for the performance of such services,
Teresi Publications, as license of the Easyriders of Columbus retail store, was
granted a merchandise credit equal to 67% of the proceeds generated from the
sale of such Videos, redeemable for Easyriders-branded merchandise

                                       56

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT


To the Board of Directors
Easyriders, Inc. and subsidiaries
(Debtors-In-Possession)

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Easyriders, Inc.
and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2001 and 2000, and the related consolidated
statements of operations, stockholders' deficit, and cash flows for the years
ended December 31, 2001 and 2000.  These consolidated financial statements are
the responsibility of the Company's management.  Our responsibility is to
express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our
audits.

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

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present
fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Easyriders, Inc. and
subsidiaries as of December 31, 2001 and 2000, and the results of their
operations and their cash flows for the two years then ended, in conformity with
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming
that the Company will continue as a going concern. As shown in the accompanying
consolidated financial statements, the Company has incurred net losses from
operations. In addition, the Company has filed voluntary petitions for relief
under Chapter 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code in the United States
Bankruptcy Court for the Central District of California, San Fernando Valley
Division (See Note 1).  These factors raise substantial doubt about the
Company's ability to continue as a going concern.  Management's plans in regard
to these matters are also described in Notes 1 and 2.  The financial statements
do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this
uncertainty.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT


To the Board of Directors
Easyriders, Inc. and subsidiaries

We have audited the accompanying consolidated statements of operations,
stockholders' equity, and cash flows of Easyriders, Inc. and subsidiaries for
the year ended December 31, 1999.  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 auditing standards generally accepted
in the United States of America.  Those standards require that we plan and
perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated
financial statements are free of material misstatement.  An audit includes
examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in
the consolidated financial statements.  An audit also includes assessing the
accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well
as evaluating the overall consolidated financial statement presentation.  We
believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, such consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all
material respects, the results of operations and cash flows of Easyriders, Inc.
and subsidiaries for the year ended December 31, 1999, in conformity with
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

    and into Newriders, Inc. (Newriders) (the Merger) upon which the
    shareholders of Newriders exchanged their stock on a 2-for-1 basis for
    Easyriders, Inc. common stock; (ii) the acquisition by Easyriders of all of
    the outstanding common stock of Paisano Publications, Inc. (Paisano
    Publications), a California corporation, and certain affiliated corporations
    (collectively, the Paisano Companies); and (iii) the acquisition by
    Easyriders of all of the outstanding membership interests of M&B
    Restaurants, L.C. (El Paso), a Texas limited liability company.

    As a result of the merger, the Newriders common stock was exchanged for
    Easyriders common stock on the basis of one share of Easyriders common stock
    for each two shares of Newriders common stock, and the stockholders of
    Newriders immediately prior to the merger became stockholders of Easyriders.
    The merger was accounted for as a combination of entities under common
    control, similar to a pooling of interest.  Therefore, the historical
    financial statements represent the combined financial statements of
    Easyriders and Newriders.  The acquisitions of the Paisano Companies and El
    Paso were accounted for as a purchase.

    The Paisano Companies consist of Paisano Publications; Easyriders of
    Columbus, Inc., an Ohio corporation; Easyriders Franchising, Inc., a
    California corporation; Teresi, Inc. (DBA Easyriders Events, Inc.), a
    California corporation; Bros Club, Inc., a California corporation and
    Associated Rodeo Riders on Wheels, a California corporation.  Paisano
    Publications publishes 9 special-interest magazines directed to motorcycle,
    custom truck, hot-rod, and tattoo enthusiasts, 2 industry related magazines,
    V-Twin News and Tattoo Industry, 2 annual publications, VQ and Bike Builders
    Guide, and an annual calendar.  Other Paisano Companies market a line of
    apparel and other products designed to appeal to motorcycle, hot-rod, and
    tattoo enthusiasts.  Through the end of 1999 Easyriders Franchising had
    established franchise stores that sold Easyriders apparel, customized new
    and used American-made motorcycles, and motorcycle accessories.
    Subsequently, the operations of Easyriders Franchising were assumed by
    Easyriders Licensing, Inc., a California corporation, and a wholly-owned
    subsidiary of Newriders, under a new program pursuant to which franchisees
    signed agreements converting their franchise arrangement to licensing
    arrangements.  Currently, there are 38 licensed stores and 1 retail store
    still operating under an expired franchise agreement.

    El Paso owned and operated barbecue and smoked meat restaurants located in
    Arizona and Oklahoma.  The restaurants were operated under the name "El Paso
    Bar-B-Que."  On October 5, 2000, the Company sold its interest in El Paso to
    a related party.

    Easyriders currently derives substantially all of its revenues from the
    operations of Paisano Publications.

    On July 17, 2001, Easyriders and Paisano Publications filed voluntary
    petitions for relief under Chapter 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code
    in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Central District of
    California, San Fernando Valley Division.  The immediate consequences of
    these filings are discussed

     herein, but the longer-term consequences are substantially uncertain at
     this time, and could include, among other things:

          .   An outright sale of assets for a price which is less than the
              Company's total indebtedness, in which case no value would remain
              for shareholders.

          .   Restructuring of the Nomura Indebtedness (see Note 8) through
              modified terms, or replacing the Nomura Indebtedness with
              alternative financing.

          .   Restructuring or elimination, in whole or in part, of the
              Company's unsecured debt.

          .   Cancellation or dilution of all, or a portion of, the Company's
              currently outstanding equity securities.

          .   Events which disqualify the Company from remaining a publicly
              traded enterprise.

          .   Changes in ownership control and/or management of the Company.

    This list in not intended to be exhaustive, nor to reflect management's
    expectations as to the most likely outcome of the Chapter 11 cases, but
    merely to serve as a notice to readers that the future of the Company is
    substantially uncertain at this point in light of the issues still to be
    resolved in the Bankruptcy Court.

    Notwithstanding, the foregoing, management notes the following:

    On April 6, 2002, Easyriders, Paisano, a number of corporations which are
    wholly-owned by Easyriders, Nomura and Joseph Teresi entered into an
    agreement entitled "Asset Purchase Agreement, Compromise of Controversies
    and Mutual Releases" (the "APA"), pursuant to which it is contemplated that
    (a) Mr. Teresi or a new entity owned by him (collectively, "Buyer") will
    purchase substantially all of the assets of Easyriders and Paisano
    (collectively, "Debtors"), and thereafter continue the business operations
    previously conducted by Debtors, (b) as consideration for such purchase,
    Buyer shall pay to Nomura the sum of $5,250,000 at the closing, (c) Buyer
    shall assume all ordinary-course obligations of debtors incurred post-
    petition, but none of the pre-petition claims or obligations of the Debtors,
    (d) Nomura will waive its claims against Debtors for the balance owed under
    the Nomura Indebtedness and release all of its liens, (e) Mr. Teresi will
    waive his claim against Easyriders for the balance owed under the
    Subordinated Seller Notes, (f) all of the Debtors' cash, including the net
    proceeds to be realized by Easyriders from settlement of the Kaye Scholer
    Claim (the "Kaye Scholer Proceeds"), up to $1,500,000 will be made available
    to satisfy all of the Debtors' claims (excluding any claim of Nomura or Mr.
    Teresi) in accordance with the priorities set forth in the Bankruptcy Code,
    (g) Mr. Teresi will guarantee that the amount of such cash shall be not less
    than $1,500,000 at the time of closing (the "Closing Cash"), and (h)
    releases shall be given by and among Buyer, Nomura and Debtors with respect
    to all claims or potential claims against each other.

    The transactions contemplated by the APA (the "Global Settlement") will not
    be consummated unless and until approved by the Bankruptcy Court. A hearing
    on such request for approval has been scheduled for May 1, 2002, with the
    closing scheduled to occur on May 2, 2002 if approval is granted.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE THREE YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2001, 2000 and 1999 (continued)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    In anticipation of consummating the Global Settlement, the Debtors, on March
    29, 2002, each filed a Plan of Reorganization and Disclosure Statement
    providing for implementation of the Global Settlement. Pursuant thereto, it
    is assumed that the Kaye Scholer Proceeds (net of attorneys' fees) will be
    the only sum available for distribution to creditors of Easyriders, with the
    balance of the Closing Cash being allocated to the creditors of Paisano. The
    exact amount of the Kaye Scholer Proceeds will not be determined until at
    least May 8, 2002, at which time a hearing is scheduled to determine the
    amount of attorney fees to be paid out of the gross amount of the Kaye
    Scholer Proceeds ($395,000). In any event, it is anticipated that the net
    Kaye Scholer Proceeds will not be less than $256,750, which would mean that
    the cash available to creditors of Paisano would be not less than
    $1,243,250.

    If the Global Settlement is approved, it is anticipated that all of the
    stock of the Debtors would be cancelled, together with all options and
    contingent securities, and such holders would receive no distributions from
    the Debtors. If the Global Settlement is not approved, is it not presently
    possible to predict the outcome of the Chapter 11 cases.

    The Company's financial statements are prepared using the generally accepted
    accounting principles applicable to a going concern, which contemplates the
    realization of assets and liquidation of liabilities in the normal course of
    business.  The above referenced bankruptcy filings were prompted primarily
    by various repayment demands and other disputes that Easyriders was having
    with its primary secured lender, Nomura Holding America Inc. ("Nomura"),
    including Nomura's unwillingness to extend the September 23, 2001 maturity
    date of its secured loan in the principal amount of approximately $21
    million.  The unpredictability of the outcome of these bankruptcy filings
    raises substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going
    concern.

    Prior to its filing for Chapter 11 relief on July 17, 2001, the Company made
    regular monthly interest payments to Nomura in respect of the Nomura
    Indebtedness. After its bankruptcy filing, in accordance with orders of the
    Bankruptcy Court, the Company continued to make such payments to Nomura
    through October 31, 2001 (the "Post-Petition Payments"). No agreement was
    made between the parties and no order of the Bankruptcy Court was issued as
    to the application of any of the Post-Petition Payments made by the Debtors
    to Nomura. Under the Bankruptcy Code, if the value of Nomura's collateral is
    less than the amount of Nomura's "allowed claim," Nomura is not entitled to
    any post-bankruptcy interest and Nomura's allowed claim is bifurcated into
    an allowed secured claim equal to the value of Nomura's collateral and an
    allowed unsecured claim equal to the balance of Nomura's allowed claim. The
    Company believes that the funds used to make the Post-Petition Payments to
    Nomura was not part of Nomura's collateral and therefore should reduce the
    amount of Nomura's allowed secured claim on a dollar-for-dollar basis.
    Pursuant to the Global Settlement described above in Part 1, under "Recent
    Developments", Nomura would be allowed to retain its Post-Petition Payments,
    but would waive all claims to any portion of the cash accumulated by the
    Company post-petition. Until the Global Settlement is approved by the
    Bankruptcy Court, the Company will continue to report all Post-Petition
    Payments made to Nomura as interest, and if a determination is made at some
    later date that such Post-Petition Payments to Nomura do not constitute
    interest to Nomura, the Company will show such adjustment in its financial
    reports. Pre-petition liabilities, including the Nomura indebtedness of
    $20,968,002, the notes payable to a stockholder of $8,000,000, and the trade
    accounts payable as of July 17, 2001 of $4,705,661, have been reclassified
    to a separate line item on the balance sheet as Prepetition liabilities,
    subject to compromise. The following statement of cash flows for the year
    ended December 31, 2001 was prepared under the direct method:

EASYRIDERS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES (DEBTORS-IN-POSSESSION)
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE THREE YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2001, 2000 and 1999 (continued)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Effective July 17, 2001, the American Stock Exchange ("AMEX") temporarily
    suspended trading in the Company's common stock, pending further
    developments in the Chapter 11 cases. This suspension was implemented on an
    informal basis. AMEX has taken no formal action with respect to the de-
    listing of the Company's securities.

2.  MANAGEMENT'S PLANS

    The Company's financial statements are prepared using the generally accepted
    accounting principles applicable to a going concern, which contemplates the
    realization of assets and liquidation of liabilities in the normal course of
    business. Since July 17, 2001, the Company and its subsidiary, Paisano, have
    been operating as debtors in possession pursuant to petitions filed on that
    date for relief under Chapter 11 of the US Bankruptcy Code. Management's
    plans are discussed below.

    During the year ended December 31, 2001, the Company incurred a net loss of
    $17,094,867, and the cash provided by operations was $531,419.

    During 2001, recorded expenses aggregating $19,053,284 contributed to the
    net loss from operations, but did not adversely impact the Company's
    operating cash flow.  Components of such total expense include: (i) an
    impairment charge to goodwill of $17,360,825; (ii) depreciation and
    amortization of $1,267,324; (iii) stock issuance in satisfaction of
    obligations and stock issuance expense aggregating $95,239; (iv) non-cash
    interest expense of $100,500; and, (v) debt issuance costs of $229,396.

    If the Global Settlement described above under Item 1 is consummated, and
    upon confirmation of the plans described therein, Easyriders and Paisano
    would cease operations and instead their operations would be pursued by the
    entity formed by Mr. Teresi for such purpose. If the Global Settlement were
    not to be consummated, management cannot presently predict the future course
    of the Company, as such course is entirely dependent upon the outcome of the
    Chapter 11 cases.

3.  ACQUISITIONS

    Paisano Acquisition - On September 23, 1998, the Company acquired all of the
    issued and outstanding stock of each of the corporations that comprise the
    Paisano Companies (The Paisano Acquisition).  In exchange for the
    outstanding stock of each Paisano Company, the sole stockholder of the
    Paisano Companies (the Seller) received total consideration of $48,000,000.
    This consideration was comprised of the following:

A.  An aggregate 6,493,507 shares of Easyriders common stock valued at $3.08 per
    share.

B.  Promissory notes aggregating $28,000,000, of which $15,000,000 was repaid
    subsequent to the Paisano Acquisition using proceeds from a credit facility
    (see Note 8) and proceeds from the sale of stock to a related party.

    Additionally, under the terms of the Stock Contribution and Sale Agreement,
    Easyriders was obligated to issue stock options to purchase an aggregate of

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

    valued at $697,434 using Black-Scholes option-pricing model and has been
    included in the determination of the aggregate purchase price of the Paisano
    Companies.

    Based upon the terms of the Stock Contribution and Sale Agreement, the
    purchase price was subject to adjustment based upon the working capital
    level of the Paisano Companies at September 23, 1998.  In March 1999, the
    Seller and the Company reached an agreement to reduce the consideration paid
    to the Seller by $398,085.  This amount has been recorded as a receivable
    from stockholders in the Company's financial statements.

    The acquisition of Paisano Companies was accounted for as a purchase and the
    resulting goodwill of $55,451,313 (net of a $917,439 write-off of goodwill
    pertaining to the sale of Easyriders of Columbus (see Footnote 16 - Sale of
    Assets) and net of impairment writedowns of $25,000,000 (2000) and
    $17,360,825 (2001)) is being amortized on a straight-line basis over 30
    years.

    El Paso Acquisition - On September 23, 1998, the Company acquired all of the
    issued and outstanding membership interests of El Paso from the members, who
    included the Chairman and the President of the Company, for 2,000,000 shares
    of Easyriders' common stock valued at $3.08 per share.  The acquisition of
    El Paso was accounted for as a purchase and the resulting goodwill of
    $6,798,685 was being amortized on a straight-line basis over 20 years, until
    October 5, 2000 when El Paso was sold (see Footnote 16 - Discontinued
    Operations).

    Other - Warrants to purchase 870,393 shares of Easyriders' common stock were
    issued to a financial advisor of the Company on the closing date of the
    Reorganization, at nominal cost.  The exercise price of the warrants is
    $4.3125 per share.  The warrants have been valued, in aggregate, at
    $2,069,258 using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model and have been
    included in the determination of the purchase price of the Paisano Companies
    and El Paso.  The warrants will be exercisable at any time for a period of
    seven years from their date of issuance.  As compensation for certain
    services provided by the financial advisor in April 1999, the Company
    repriced the warrants.  The increase in fair value of the warrants, if any,
    related to the reduction in the exercise price to $1.75 per share was
    recorded as expense in April 1999.

4.  SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

    Consolidation - The consolidated financial statements include the accounts
    of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries.  Material intercompany
    accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

    Reclassifications - Certain reclassifications have been made to the 2000
    financial statements in order to conform them to the 2001 presentation.

    Revenue Recognition - The Company's revenue stems primarily from the sale of
    magazines, magazine advertising space, merchandise, apparel, and restaurant
    sales.  The Company records revenue based on the following:

    .  Magazine Revenues - Advertising revenues are recognized upon the
       magazines' on-sale date, net of provisions for estimated rebates,
       adjustments, and discounts. Proceeds from subscriptions are

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

       recorded as deferred subscription income when received and are included
       in revenue over the terms of the subscription services, generally one to
       two years. Subscriptions expiring within one year are included as a
       current liability and the portion of the subscriptions in excess of one
       year are classified as a long-term liability. Sales to newsstand
       distributors are recognized as revenue in the month of distribution,
       using historical experience to estimate the ultimate sales of magazines
       to the newsstand. In the event that actual sales differ from estimates,
       adjustments are made in subsequent months. Historically, these
       adjustments have not been material.

    .  Other Revenues - Event production revenues are recognized upon completion
       of events. Retail and mail order revenues are recognized upon product
       shipment.

    Income Taxes - Deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on
    temporary differences between financial reporting and tax basis assets and
    liabilities and are measured by applying enacted tax rates and laws to
    taxable years in which differences are expected to be recovered or settled.
    A valuation allowance was recorded to reduce deferred tax assets to an
    amount that represents the Company's best estimate of the amount of such
    deferred tax assets that are likely to be realized.

    Cash and Cash Equivalents - The Company considers all highly liquid
    investments with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash
    equivalents.

    Accounts Receivable - The Company has recorded the following activity in the
    valuation accounts:

</TABLE>

    Inventories - Inventories, consisting primarily of paper for magazine
    production and retail merchandise, are stated at the lower of cost (first-
    in, first-out method) or market.

    Prepaid Publication Costs - Publication costs of magazines and videos,
    including editorial, postage, printing and paper costs are included in
    prepaid publications costs until the issue is released for sale, at which
    time the related costs are charged to cost of sales.

    Deferred Promotion Costs - The Company accounts for promotion costs, which
    consist primarily of printing and mailing costs on direct mail promotions
    for its general circulation magazines, in accordance with American Institute
    of Certified Public Accountants' Statement of Position 93-7.  These costs,
    which are deferred to the extent of additional subscription revenues less
    incremental fulfillment costs, are amortized over the magazine subscription
    period generated from these promotions, not to exceed one year.  All other
    advertising expenses are expensed at the time the advertising takes place.
    As of December 31, 2001, $282,781 of these expenses were included in
    prepaids and other current assets.  Advertising expense amounted to
    $605,016, $650,594 and $648,664 for the years ended December 31, 2001, 2000
    and 1999, respectively.

    Property and Equipment - Property and equipment are stated at cost, net of
    accumulated depreciation and amortization.  Depreciation and amortization is
    provided for by using the accelerated and straight-line methods, using the
    estimated useful lives of the respective asset or, as to leasehold
    improvements,

    the term of the related lease if less than the estimated service life.
    Useful lives generally range from 3 to 15 years.

    Goodwill - Goodwill is associated with the acquisition of the Paisano
    Companies and El Paso in 1998 (see Footnote 3 - Acquisitions).  Goodwill is
    amortized on a straight-line basis over periods ranging from 20 to 30 years.
    At each balance sheet date, management assesses whether there has been a
    permanent impairment in the value of goodwill.  If the carrying value of the
    asset exceeds the estimated discounted future net cash flows from operating
    activities of the related business, a permanent impairment is deemed to have
    occurred under the guidance from Staff Accounting Bulletin (SAB) Topic 5 CC.
    In this event, the asset is written down, accordingly.  As of December 31,
    2000, management determined that impairment existed, and a loss from
    impairment of $25,000,000 was recognized.  As of December 31, 2001,
    management determined that further impairment existed and recognized a loss
    of $17,360,825.

    Deferred Financing Costs - Costs incurred in obtaining financing are
    deferred and amortized over the term of the related debt.

    Deferred Rent - The Company recognizes rent expense on a straight-line basis
    over the term of the leases (see Footnote 13 - Commitments and
    Contingencies).

    Fair Value of Financial Instruments - The Company's financial instruments
    consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, accounts
    receivable, accounts payable, accrued liabilities, and notes payable,
    convertible debentures, and long-term debt.  The carrying value of all
    financial instruments, other than notes payable, convertible debentures, and
    long-term debt are representative of their fair values because of their
    short-term maturities.  The carrying value of the Company's notes payable,
    convertible debentures, and long-term debt are representative of their fair
    value because of the short period of time elapsed since origination or the
    underlying interest rates are variable.

    Use of Estimates in Preparation of Financial Statements - The preparation of
    financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting
    principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect
    the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent
    assets and liabilities as the date of the financial statements and the
    reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods.
    Actual results could materially differ from those estimates.

    Long-Lived Assets - The Company accounts for the impairment and disposition
    of long-lived assets in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting
    Standards (SFAS) No. 121, "Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived
    Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to Be Disposed Of."  In accordance with
    SFAS No. 121, long-lived assets are reviewed for events or changes in
    circumstances that indicate that their carrying value may not be
    recoverable.  At December 31, 2001, management determined that the carrying
    value is recoverable.

    Comprehensive Income - In 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board
    (FASB) issued SFAS No. 130, Reporting Comprehensive Income, which
    established standards for the reporting and displaying of comprehensive
    income and its components.  For the years ended December 31, 1999, 2000 and
    2001, there was no difference between the Company's net loss and
    comprehensive loss.

    Recent Accounting Developments - In January 2001, the Financial Accounting
    Standards Board Emerging Issues Task Force issued EITF 00-27 effective for
    convertible debt instruments issued after November 16, 2000.  This
    pronouncement requires the use of the intrinsic value method for recognition
    of the detachable and imbedded equity features included with indebtedness,
    and requires amortization of the amount associated with the convertibility
    feature over the life of the debt instrument rather than the period for
    which the instrument first becomes convertible.  Inasmuch as all debt
    instruments that were entered into prior to November 16, 2000 and all of the
    debt discount relating to the beneficial conversion feature was previously
    recognized as expense in accordance with EITF 98-5, there is no impact on
    these financial statements.  This EITF 00-27, could impact future financial
    statements, should the Company enter into such agreements.

    In July 2001, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141 "Business Combinations."  SFAS
    No. 141 supersedes Accounting Principles Board ("APB") No. 16 and requires
    that any business combinations initiated after June 30, 2001 be accounted
    for as a purchase; therefore, eliminating the pooling-of-interest method
    defined in APB 16.  The statement is effective for any business combination
    initiated after June 30, 2001 and shall apply to all business combinations
    accounted for by the purchase method for which the date of acquisition is
    July 1, 2001 or later.  The statement did not have a material impact on the
    Company's financial position or results of operations as the Company has not
    participated in such activities covered under this pronouncement.

    In July 2001, the FASB issued SFAS No. 142, "Goodwill and Other
    Intangibles."  SFAS No. 142 addresses the initial recognition, measurement
    and amortization of intangible assets acquired individually or with a group
    of other assets (but not those acquired in a business combination) and
    addresses the amortization provisions for excess cost over fair value of net
    assets acquired or intangibles acquired in a business combination. The
    statement is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2001,
    and is effective July 1, 2001 for any intangibles acquired in a business
    combination initiated after June 30, 2001.  The Company is evaluating the
    accounting effect, if any, arising from this SFAS on the Company's financial
    position or results of operations.

    In October 2001, the FASB recently issued SFAS No. 143, "Accounting for
    Asset Retirement Obligations," which requires companies to record the fair
    value of a liability for asset retirement obligations in the period in which
    they are incurred.  The statement applies to a company's legal obligations
    associated with the retirement of a tangible long-lived asset that results
    from the acquisition, construction, and development or through the normal
    operation of a long-lived asset.  When a liability is initially recorded,
    the company would capitalize the cost, thereby increasing the carrying
    amount of the related asset.  The capitalized asset retirement cost is
    depreciated over the life of the respective asset while the liability is
    accreted to its present value.  Upon settlement of the liability, the
    obligation is settled at its recorded amount or the company incurs a gain or
    loss. The statement is effective for fiscal years beginning after June 30,
    2002.  The Company does not expect the adoption to have a material impact to
    the Company's financial position or results of operations.

    In October 2001, the FASB issued SFAS No. 144, "Accounting for the
    Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets".  Statement 144 addresses the
    accounting and reporting for the impairment or disposal of long-lived
    assets. The statement provides a single accounting model for long-lived
    assets to be disposed of.  New criteria must be met to classify the asset as
    an asset held-for-sale. This statement also focuses on reporting the effects
    of a disposal of a segment of a business.  This statement is

7.  CONVERTIBLE DEBENTURES

    On June 11, 1998, the Company issued convertible debentures with a face
    value of $1,000,000 due June 30, 2000, in a private placement transaction
    with a director of the Company.  The debentures accrue interest at 8% per
    year, with interest payable quarterly.  The debentures are convertible at
    the option of the holder into shares of the Company's common stock at the
    lesser of the five-day average closing bid price on the closing date or 75%
    of the five-day average closing bid price on the conversion date, as
    defined.  The debentures are convertible at the holder's option anytime
    after August 10, 1998. The conversion discount, which was $333,335 at the
    date of issuance, was recognized by the Company as interest expense over the
    shortest expected term to anticipated conversion of the debentures, with a
    corresponding increase to the original principal amount of the debentures.
    In conjunction with the issuance of the convertible debentures, the Company
    issued warrants for the purchase of 25,000 shares of the Company's common
    stock, with an exercise price of $2.98 per share at any time during the next
    three years.  The fair value of the warrants, aggregating $41,518, has been
    recorded as debt issuance costs and is being amortized over the term of the
    debentures.

    During 1999, $118,137 of accrued interest on this debenture was converted
    into 229,114 shares of common stock of the Company.  In connection with this
    transaction, the Company incurred stock issuance expenses of $39,379.
    During 2000, $67,725 of accrued interest on this debenture was converted
    into 145,240 shares of common stock of the Company.  In connection with
    these transactions, the Company incurred stock issuance expenses of $22,574.
    On October 5, 2000, in connection with the sale of El Paso to a related
    party (see Footnote 15 - Discontinued Operations), the $1,000,000 in
    principal balance then outstanding was forgiven.

    During the year ended December 31, 1997, the Company issued two tranches of
    convertible debentures (the Debentures) with face values of $600,000
    (Tranche A) and $1,000,000 (Tranche B) in private placements to
    institutional investors.  The Debentures accrue interest at rates of 10% and
    8% per year, respectively, payable semi-annually.  The Debentures are
    convertible at the option of the holder into shares of the Company's common
    stock based upon the following terms:

      Tranche A - The Debentures in Tranche A were converted into common stock
      at 72.5% of the five-day average closing bid price on the conversion date
      and were converted into common stock during 1997. The Company issued a
      total of 146,913 shares of its common stock in connection with the
      conversion of the $600,000 of the original principal amount of the
      Debentures, plus interest accrued through the conversion date of $10,523.

      Tranche B - Convertible into common stock at the lesser of the five-day
      average closing bid price on the closing date or 80% of the five-day
      average closing bid price on the conversion date, as defined. The
      Debentures in Tranche B are convertible at the holder's option: one-third
      after January 26, 1998; one-third after February 25, 1998; and one-third
      after March 27, 1998. The Debentures are convertible at the option of the
      issuer at any time after December 12, 1998. As of December 31, 1999, the
      Company had issued 158,445 shares of its common stock in connection with
      the conversion of $683,333 in principal amount of the Debentures. At
      December 31, 1999, $316,667 in principal balance remained outstanding. On
      May 31, 2000, the Company issued an additional 473,937 shares of its
      common stock in connection with the conversion of the remaining balance of
      $316,667 in principal amount of the Debentures, together with accrued
      interest of $62,482. The Company recorded $15,621 of stock issuance
      expense relating to this transaction.

    The Debentures were converted at a discount to the market price of the
    Company's common stock.  The resulting conversion discount, which aggregated
    $481,667 at the dates of issuance, was recognized by the Company as interest
    expense over the shortest expected term to anticipated conversion of the
    Debentures with a corresponding increase to the original principal amount of
    the Debentures.  Upon conversion of the Debentures, any portion of the
    conversion discount not previously recognized is recorded as interest
    expense on the conversion date.

    In conjunction with the issuance of the Debentures, the Company issued an
    aggregate of 25,000 shares to a financial advisor as compensation for
    arranging the Debenture issuances.  The fair value of the shares has been
    recorded as debt issuance costs and was amortized through the conversion
    date of the Debentures.

    Additionally, in conjunction with the issuance of the Debentures, the
    Company issued five-year broker warrants for 41,529 shares of common stock
    with exercise prices from $3.83 to $4.05 per share.  The

    Upon its acquisition by Easyriders, Inc., Paisano Publications obtained an
    aggregate of $22,000,000 in financing (the "Nomura Indebtedness") from a
    financial institution, Nomura Holding America ("Nomura").  This financing
    was comprised of a $17,000,000 senior term loan (the "Term Loan") and a
    $5,000,000 revolving loan (the "Revolving Loan").  The proceeds from the
    Term Loan plus $3,500,000 of the Revolving Loan were used to repay certain
    promissory notes issued to the seller of the Paisano Companies in
    conjunction with the Paisano Acquisition (see Footnote 3 - Acquisitions) and
    to pay certain acquisition expenses.

    The Nomura Indebtedness was guaranteed (the "Guarantees") by Easyriders and
    the Paisano Companies, other than Paisano Publications (the "Guarantors").
    The Nomura Indebtedness matured on September 23, 2001, and bears interest at
    an annual rate equal to the prime rate (4.75 % at December

    31, 2001) plus 1.85%, payable monthly. The Nomura Indebtedness and the
    Guarantees were secured by a first priority security interest in
    substantially all of the tangible and intangible assets (owned or hereafter
    acquired) of Easyriders and the Paisano Companies, including all of the
    capital stock or equity interests of the Paisano Companies and Newriders.
    The Nomura Indebtedness and the Guarantees by their terms constitute the
    primary senior secured indebtedness of Paisano Publications and the
    Guarantors, ranking senior to all other indebtedness of Paisano Publications
    and the Guarantors.

    Under the terms of the Nomura Indebtedness, the Company issued warrants to
    purchase 355,920 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $3.00 per
    share, exercisable at any time up to seven years from their date of
    issuance.  The fair value of the warrants, $944,332, was recorded as a debt
    discount and is being amortized over the term of the Nomura Indebtedness.
    As compensation for the waivers related to events of noncompliance, the
    Company repriced the warrants.  The increase in fair value of the warrants,
    if any, related to the reduction in the exercise price to $1.625 per share
    was recorded as a debt discount and is being amortized over the remaining
    term of the Nomura Indebtedness.

    The Nomura Credit Agreement contains numerous operating and financial
    covenants, including but not limited to, payment of dividends, limitations
    on indebtedness and the maintenance of minimum net worth, minimum working
    capital, interest coverage ratios and the achievement of cash flow measures.
    On April 12, 2000, Nomura agreed to waive defaults under the Credit
    Agreement relating to maximum capital expenditures, maximum leverage ratios,
    minimum consolidated EBITDA, minimum consolidated net worth, minimum
    consolidated working capital and minimum interest coverage ratios, pursuant
    to a Second Amendment and Waiver Under Note and Warrant Purchase Agreement
    and Second Amendment to Warrant.  In addition, Nomura agreed to amend the
    Credit Agreement in order to relax covenants for the 2000 calendar year
    relating to the maintenance of required levels of net worth and EBITDA,
    maximum leverage ratios and minimum interest coverage ratios.  In
    consideration of the foregoing waivers and amendments, the Company agreed to
    reduce the exercise price on warrants to purchase 355,920 shares of
    Easyriders common stock issued to Nomura under the Credit Agreement, from
    $1.625 to "market price," as determined by a formula set forth in the Second
    Amendment to Warrant.  The formula exercise price was adjusted down to
    $0.625 per share during the quarter ended June 30, 2000, and was adjusted
    down to $0.50 per share during the quarter ended September 30, 2000.  The
    Company has recorded interest expense of $65,403 for the year in the
    accompanying financial statements as a result of the repricing of these
    warrants.

    The Nomura Indebtedness, approximately $21.0 million, became due and payable
    on September 23, 2001. In view of the Company's inability to repay the
    entire principal on such date, and Nomura's unwillingness to accept a lesser
    amount, or to extend the maturity date, Easyriders, Inc. and Paisano
    Publications filed voluntary petitions for relief under Chapter 11 of the
    Bankruptcy Code on July 17, 2001. On July 20, 2001 the Bankrupcy Court
    approved the first of several stipulations (each a "CCS") permitting the two
    companies to remain in operation as debtors-in-possession and to use the
    "cash collateral" of Nomura pursuant to an approved budget. Subsequently, an
    Official Committee of Unsecured Creditors (the "OCC") was formed to
    represent the interests of the unsecured creditors. In accordance with the
    "First CCS" and the "Second CCS", and the budgets applicable thereto, the
    Company thereafter made payments to Nomura (with no agreement as to the
    application of such payments) computed in an amount equal to Nomura's pre-
    Chapter 11 interest (the "Computed

    The First CCS remained in effect until August 31, 2001. Pursuant to the
    terms of the First CCS, in addition to the payments set forth immediately
    above, the Company made an "excess cash flow payment" in the amount of
    $23,699 to Nomura for the month of July 2001. Pursuant to the terms of the
    Second CCS, the Company was required to deposit all of their "Net Income"
    (as defined in the Second CCS) after payment of the amounts to Nomura set
    forth above into a segregated bank account (the "Blocked Account"). At a
    hearing held on October 24, 2001, the Bankruptcy Court ordered the Company
    to stop making any further payments to Nomura and to deposit the payments
    that the Company would otherwise have made to Nomura into the Blocked
    Account. Thereafter, the Court approved the Company's requests to continue
    using cash collateral pursuant to approved budgets, the last such order
    having been entered on March 4, 2002, for the period commencing on that date
    and ending June 30, 2002.

    In October 1999, Paisano Publications issued a $275,000 increasing rate
    secured promissory note to an investment partnership, Siena Capital
    Partners, L.P.  This loan (the Siena Loan) is subordinate to the Nomura
    Indebtedness.  The loan bears interest at a rate of 20% per annum
    (increasing by 1% monthly beginning April 14, 2000), and is due and payable
    with accrued interest on October 14, 2000. Warrants to purchase 100,000
    shares of the Common Stock of the Company were issued with an exercise price
    of $0.01 per share. If the Siena Loan has been paid off in its entirety by
    April 13, 2000, the warrants become null and void. In addition, if the
    balance is not paid in full by July 13, 2000, the Company must issue
    warrants to purchase an additional 300,000 shares of the Common Stock of the
    Company, and if the balance is not paid in full by October 13, 2000, the
    Company must issue warrants to purchase an additional 100,000 shares of the
    Common Stock of the Company.  Thereafter, until the loan is paid in full,
    the Company must issue warrants to purchase 150,000 shares of the Common
    Stock of the Company on the 13th day of each month.

    As of April 13, 2000, the Company did not possess the resources to pay off
    the Siena Loan. However, John Martin and Joseph Teresi were granted a right
    of first refusal in connection with any assignment of the Siena Loan. Based
    on this right, the Company pursued negotiations with Mr. Teresi and Mr.
    Martin concerning their assumption of the Siena Loan upon terms more
    favorable to the Company. These negotiations were successful and on April
    13, 2000, Mr. Martin and Mr. Teresi each paid to Siena the sum of $137,500
    and assumed the position of Siena with respect to the Siena Loan.
    Concurrently, the first 100,000 warrants vested and the fair value of the
    warrants, aggregating $92,750, was recorded as interest expense. In
    addition, Mr. Martin and Mr. Teresi agreed to make the following
    modifications to the Siena Loan terms: (i) the interest rate was reduced
    from 20% per annum to 13% per annum, and (ii)

    provided the Siena Loan is paid off by December 31, 2000, twenty percent
    (20%) of all warrants vested by and through such date will be surrendered.

    As of December 31, 2000, the Company did not possess the resources to pay
    off the Siena Loan. Subsequent to the first warrants vesting on April 13,
    2000 and through March 13, 2001, as provided under the modified terms, an
    additional 575,000 warrants vested to each of Mr. Martin and Mr. Teresi and
    the fair value of these warrants, aggregating $396,625, was recorded as
    interest expense.

    Effective March 30, 2001, in connection with the Martin Unwind transaction
    (see Note 14 - Stockholders' Deficit), Mr. Teresi purchased Mr. Martin's
    one-half interest in the Siena Loan, and all warrants vested thereunder, for
    cash in the amount of $137,500.

    Concurrently, in an amendment to the terms of the loan effective April 1,
    2001, Mr. Teresi agreed to relinquish his right to receive additional
    warrants.

9.  NOTES PAYABLE TO STOCKHOLDER

    In connection with the Paisano Acquisition, the seller of the Paisano
    Companies (the Seller) received promissory notes aggregating $13,000,000
    (the Contributor Notes).  The Contributor Notes consist of a subordinated
    promissory note (the Contributor Subordinated Note) in the amount of
    $5,000,000, a limited recourse subordinated promissory note (the Contributor
    Mirror Note) in the amount of $5,000,000 secured by the Martin Mirror Note
    (defined below) and a subordinated promissory note (the Contributor Short-
    Term Subordinated Note) in the amount of $3,000,000.  The Contributor
    Subordinated Note has a term of five years and can be extended for an
    additional term of five years by the holder and bears interest at an annual
    rate of between 6% and 10%.  The Contributor Mirror Note has a term of five
    years and will be extended if, and to the extent that, the Martin Mirror
    Note (see Footnote 13 - Commitments and Contingencies) is extended, and
    bears interest at an annual rate of between 6% and 10%.  The Contributor
    Short-Term Subordinated Note bears interest at an annual rate of 10% and had
    a term of 90 days (stated maturity date of December 23, 1998).  On April 9,
    1999, the Company issued shares of stock in exchange for the forgiveness of
    interest on the Contributor Subordinated Note of $75,000 and a reduction in
    principal of the Contributor Subordinated Note from $5,000,000 to $3,575,000
    (see Footnote 14 - Stockholder's Equity).  On March 31, 2000, the seller of

    the Paisano Companies agreed to change the maturity date of the Short-Term
    Subordinated Note to March 31, 2002. Therefore, this Note was classified as
    long-term debt as of December 31, 2000.

    Effective April 3, 2000, the Seller agreed to forgive $3,446,787 of
    principal owed on the Contributor Subordinated Note, leaving a principal
    balance of $128,213, in exchange for 3,356,170 shares of the Company's
    common stock, valued using the average daily closing price of the common
    stock on the American Stock Exchange over 30 consecutive trading days ending
    on and including March 22, 2000.  Concurrently, the Seller agreed to forgive
    (a) the residual balance due under the Contributor Subordinated Note of
    $128,213, (b) $96,739 of other obligations owed to Mr. Teresi by the Company
    in connection with rent and consulting fees, and (c) accrued interest on the
    Contributor Notes of $525,040, in exchange for the undertakings of Paisano
    Publications pursuant to an agreement involving the Company's Events
    Division. (See Footnote 11 - Long-Term Liabilities).

    On February 23, 1999, the Company borrowed $704,612 from two directors of
    the Company.  The balance borrowed was evidenced by two promissory notes of
    equal amount from each shareholder.  The notes bear interest at 13% per
    annum and both interest and principal are due on September 23, 2002.  The
    Notes were fully repaid through proceeds from the issuance of common stock
    on April 8, 1999.

    The Company has provided a full valuation allowance on the net deferred
    asset at December 31, 2001 and December 31, 2000, due to the uncertainty
    regarding its realization.

    At December 31, 2001, the Company has available net operating loss
    carryforwards of approximately $14,000,000 and $9,100,000 for federal and
    state income tax purposes, respectively.  Approximately $11,230,000 of the
    federal loss carryforward related to pre-reorganization periods can be used
    to offset future taxable income.  Sections 382, 383, and 1502 of the
    Internal Revenue Code of 1986 place certain limitations on the use of these
    acquired losses.  A maximum of approximately $500,000 of the net operating
    loss carryforwards can be utilized annually in 2002 and subsequent years.
    Any net operating losses not utilized will begin expiring in 2012 and 2005
    for federal and state purposes, respectively.

11. LONG-TERM LIABILITIES

    Wholesale Product Sales and License Agreement - Effective March 28, 2001,
    the Company, through its subsidiaries Paisano Publications, Inc. and
    Easyriders Licensing, Inc. entered into a long-term license agreement (the
    "Products Agreement") with Southern Steel Sportswear, Inc. ("SSS"), an
    affiliate of Action Promotions, Inc., of Ormond Beach, Florida ("API"), in
    connection with the Company's

    wholesale products division. The Company has previously reported that in
    March 2000, it entered into a long-term license agreement with API, in
    connection with the activities of its subsidiary, Easyriders Events (the
    "Events Transaction"). Pursuant to the Events Transaction, API acquired a
    merchandise purchase credit which as of March 28, 2001 amounted to
    $1,360,195 (the "API Credit").

    Under the Products Agreement, the Company has outsourced to SSS all
    activities pertaining to the design, manufacture, warehousing, shipping and
    fulfillment of orders in connection with the sale of Easyriders-branded
    apparel and related merchandise to its network of retail stores, each of
    which (an "Easyriders Store") conducts business as "Easyriders of _____"
    pursuant to a written license agreement, and through other retail
    motorcycle-oriented stores. (See "Information about Easyriders Licensing,"
    herein.) The Products Agreement is for a term of 10 years, with options to
    renew for two additional 10-year terms. Pursuant to the Products Agreement,
    the Company retains control over all other channels of distribution,
    including direct sales via its Roadware catalog and Internet Web site, and
    licensing of product opportunities to independent third parties (the "Retail
    Channel").

    The Products Agreement provides for an initial product inventory purchase of
    $760,195, and the purchase of delivery and transition services, licensing
    rights, customer lists, promotional support and related goods and services,
    all valued at $600,000.  The aggregate of $1,360,195 was paid by SSS via
    cancellation of the API Credit. During the quarter ended March 31, 2001, the
    Company recognized approximately $585,000 of revenues from products sold and
    $500,000 from services rendered in relation to the delivery of products,
    transition support services, customer lists, and promotional support.
    During the quarter ended June 30, 2001, the Company recognized an additional
    $175,000 of revenues from products shipped.  The remaining balance of
    $100,000, less accumulated amortization calculated using the straight-line
    method over the license period of 10 years, is included in deferred revenues
    on the accompanying consolidated balance sheet.

12. REDEEMABLE COMMON STOCK

    On February 1, 2001, to resolve a dispute over legal fees and expenses, the
    Company entered into a settlement agreement with a law firm (the "Firm")
    which had provided litigation defense services for total consideration of
    approximately $750,000.  The settlement included (a) the delivery of a
    promissory note for $250,000, which bears interest at the rate of 10% per
    annum and was due and payable in full on April 30, 2001; and (b) the
    issuance of 500,000 shares of Easyriders, Inc, common stock (the "Issued
    Shares").  As of December 31, 2001, a balance of $50,000 plus accrued
    interest remained outstanding under the promissory note.  Under the terms of
    the settlement agreement, on or after December 1, 2002, the Firm has the
    right (a "put option") to cause Easyriders to purchase any or all of the
    Issued Shares then held by the Firm at a price of $1.00 per share.  As a
    result of the put option held by the Firm, the mandatory redemption value of
    $500,000 has been classified as redeemable common stock.  The fair market
    value of the 500,000 shares issued under this agreement approximated
    $155,000 on the settlement date, or $0.31 per share.

13. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

    Leases - The Company leases its facilities and certain equipment under both
    capital leases (Note 8) and triple net operating lease agreements.  Under
    the terms of the operating leases, the Company is required to pay certain
    costs of the leased properties including taxes, insurance, and utilities.

                                                   ===========    ===========

    Employment Agreements - The Company has entered into an employment agreement
    with an officer of the Company requiring minimum aggregate compensation of
    $150,000 (2002) and $109,315 (2003).

    Concentration - Primarily all of the Company's magazine distribution is
    performed by one distributor and primarily all of the Company's printing and
    production is performed by one printing company.  Any failure to renew the
    distribution and printing contracts with these companies could have a
    material adverse effect on the Company's operations.

    Paper Price Volatility - The primary component of the Company' cost of sales
    in the magazine publishing segment is the cost of paper.  Consequently,
    increases in paper prices can adversely impact the Company's results of
    operations.

    Litigation - The Company is currently involved in litigation incidental to
    its business both as a plaintiff and defendant.  As required under SFAS No.5
    "Accounting for Contingencies", as of December 31, 2000 the Company had
    accrued $1,265,000 for litigation losses, including legal and settlement
    expenses.  As of December 31, 2001, the Company has an accrual of $350,000
    for loss contingencies arising from pending litigation which, in the opinion
    of management, are probable and reasonably estimable.   During 2001,
    approximately $110,000 of legal costs were applied against the accrual.  The
    remaining reduction in the accrual represents a change in estimate.

14. STOCKHOLDERS' DEFICIT

    Exchange Ratio - As more fully described in Note 1, at the time of the
    Reorganization, the Company effected a 2-for-1 exchange of its common stock.
    Historical share and per share information has been retroactively restated
    in the accompanying consolidated financial statements.

    Treasury Stock Transactions - In connection with the Reorganization, four of
    the largest stockholders of Newriders agreed to return to Newriders an
    aggregate of 6,156,480 shares of Newriders' common

    stock. A total of 4,848,480 of these shares were delivered to Newriders for
    cancellation at or prior to closing. One of the four stockholders, Rick
    Pierce, failed to deliver 1,308,000 of the Newriders shares to be canceled,
    of which 464,000 Newriders shares are beneficially owned by another
    individual, who had consented to their cancellation. The Paisano stockholder
    waived the condition for cancellation of the 1,308,000 Newriders' shares at
    closing, on the condition that Newriders continue to pursue the cancellation
    of the 1,308,000 Newriders shares.

    Easyriders has issued stop transfer instructions concerning the 1,308,000
    Newriders' shares, which were to have been canceled, and is equivalent to
    654,000 shares of Easyriders, Inc. common stock.  Following the closing on
    September 23, 1998, a petition for an involuntary bankruptcy proceeding
    under Chapter 11 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code involving Rick Pierce was
    filed.  Easyriders has pursued its claim for cancellation of the 1,308,000
    Newriders' shares in the bankruptcy proceeding in question.  The bankruptcy
    Trustee has recently procured share certificates in the name of Rick Pierce
    totaling 1,500,000 shares of Newriders common stock.  It is anticipated that
    these shares will be surrendered to Easyriders' transfer agent. Upon such
    surrender, Rick Pierce will have met his entire commitment to surrender
    shares pursuant to the Reorganization, and his bankruptcy estate will be
    entitled to receive 96,000 shares of Easyriders common stock (192,000
    Newriders shares). Share and per share amounts in the accompanying
    consolidated financial statements assume that the 1,308,000 shares have been
    canceled.

    Sale of Stock to Related Parties - In connection with the Reorganization,
    the chairman of the Company purchased 4,036,797 shares of Easyriders' common
    stock at $3.05 per share.  Aggregate consideration of $12,300,000 was paid,
    $5,000,000 in cash and the balance by delivery of two promissory notes (the
    Martin Mirror Note and the Other Martin Note).  The Martin Mirror Note is in
    the amount of $5,000,000 and has been pledged by Easyriders to the seller of
    the Paisano Companies (the Seller) to secure a $5,000,000 note payable.  The
    Other Martin Note has a face amount of $2,300,000.  The Martin Mirror Note
    has a term of five years, may be extended by Mr. Martin for an additional
    period of five years, and bears interest at an annual rate beginning at 6%
    and increasing to 10% over its life.  The Other Martin Note has a term of
    five years, and may be extended for an additional five years and bears
    interest at an annual rate between 6% and 10%.  These promissory notes have
    been recorded as an offset to stockholders' equity.   As of December 31,
    2000, the Company deemed it appropriate to record a reserve of $5,100,000
    against the $7,300,000 notes receivable from Martin, based on the
    anticipated terms of the Martin Unwind transaction contemplated in
    connection with the sale of El Paso.

    On April 8, 1999, the Company sold 1,397,950 shares of common stock of the
    Company to a director of the Company for the sum of $1,500,000.  The number
    of shares issued was calculated as 75% of the average closing price of the
    common stock, with average closing price being defined as the average of the
    last recorded sale price of the common stock on the ten consecutive trading
    days ending on and including April 8, 1999.  In conjunction with this stock
    issuance at a discount, the Company recorded $300,000 of stock issuance
    expense.

    Also on April 8, 1999, the Company sold 1,397,950 shares of common stock of
    the Company to the Seller and a director of the Company for the sum of
    $1,500,000.  The number of shares issued was calculated as 75% of the
    average closing price of the common stock, with average closing price being
    defined as the average of the last recorded sale price of the common stock

    trading days ending on and including April 8, 1999. As consideration for the
    $1,500,000 in common stock, the director forgave interest on a $5,000,000
    note payable of $75,000 and reduced the principal on the note payable from
    $5,000,000 to $3,575,000. In conjunction with this stock issuance at a
    discount, the Company recorded $300,000 of stock issuance expense.

    On July 14, 1999, the Company sold to two directors of the Company 234,940
    shares each of common stock of the Company for the sum of $250,000 each.
    The number of shares issued was calculated as 75% of the average closing
    price of the common stock, with average closing price being defined as the
    average of the last recorded sale price of the common stock on the ten

    493,827 shares each of common stock of the Company for the sum of $250,000
    each.  The number of shares issued was calculated as 75% of the average

    Shortly after the El Paso Transaction, and as a consequence thereof, the
    Board of Directors and the Company's Chairman, John Martin, began
    negotiating the terms and conditions of a transaction which has become known
    as the "Martin Unwind," pursuant to which Mr. Martin would resign as
    Chairman.  Such negotiations concluded on March 1, 2001, when the Company
    and Mr. Martin entered into a Settlement Agreement (the "Martin
    Settlement").  Concurrently, Mr. Martin and the Company's principal
    shareholder and a director, Joseph Teresi, entered into a separate agreement
    concerning the purchase by Mr. Teresi of certain assets of Mr. Martin (the
    "Martin Asset Purchase").

    These two transactions affected (a) Mr. Martin's employment agreement with
    the Company (the "Martin Employment Agreement"), (b) the Company's 1998
    Executive Incentive Compensation Plan (the "Compensation Plan"), (c) a
    limited-recourse promissory note in the principal amount of $5,000,000 owed
    by the Company to Mr. Teresi (the "Teresi Note"), which is secured by a
    full-recourse promissory note in the principal amount of $5,000,000 owed by
    Mr. Martin to the Company (the "Martin Mirror Note"), (d) a promissory note
    in the principal sum of $2,300,000 owed by Mr. Martin to the Company (the
    "Martin Note"), (e) 6,000,000 shares of the Company's common stock, of which
    2,395,823 were acquired by Martin through the issuance of the Martin Mirror
    Note and the Martin Note, and (f) a promissory note in the principal sum of
    $275,000 originally owed by the Company to Siena Capital Partners, LLC, (the
    "Siena Note"), which note was subsequently sold to Mr. Martin and Mr.
    Teresi, each as to a one-half interest.

    Pursuant to the Martin Settlement and the Martin Asset Purchase:

    In April 1999, as compensation for certain services provided by a financial
    advisor, the Company repriced warrants to purchase 592,184 shares of the
    Company's common stock.  The exercise price was reduced to $1.75 per share.

    During 2000, as compensation for certain services provided by a financial
    advisor, the Company repriced to "market" on several occasions warrants to
    purchase 355,920 shares of the Company's common stock.  As of December 31,
    2000, the exercise price had been reduced to $0.50 per share.  Interest
    expense of $65,403 was recognized in connection with these repricings.

    As of December 31, 2001, all of the outstanding warrants are exercisable.
    The warrants have a range of exercise prices from $0.01 to $8.10 and have a
    weighted average remaining life of 4.38 years.

    SFAS No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation, encourages but does
    not require the Company to record as compensation expense the cost for stock
    option grants.  The Company has chosen to continue to account for option
    grants using Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25.  No compensation
    expense has been recognized for stock options granted, as the exercise price
    equaled at

15. DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS: EL PASO

    On August 12, 2000, the Company's Board of Directors approved the execution
    of a letter of intent with Culinary Holdings, Inc. to sell all of the assets
    of the El Paso Bar-B-Que Company, subject to the consumation of a definitive
    agreement. On October 5, 2000, the Company closed the transaction, selling
    all interests in El Paso Bar-B-Que Company to a newly formed subsidiary of
    Culinary Holdings, Inc. for a combination of cash in the amount of
    $4,000,000 and the assumption of liabilities in the amount of approximately
    $6,700,000. In accordance with the terms of the sale transaction, the
    Company forgave a net intercompany receivable of $782,753. In addition,
    Culinary Holdings assumed $1,000,000 of convertible debentures held by a
    director of the Company, who thereupon released the Company from all
    obligation in connection therewith.

    Culinary Holdings is a restaurant development and management company of
    which the Company's chairman, John Martin, is a controlling shareholder who
    also serves as its Chairman of the Board. The sale to Culinary Holdings was
    approved by disinterested directors only after an extensive marketing effort
    demonstrated that Culinary was offering the highest price and best terms for
    the proposed transaction, and only after the Company had obtained from
    Imperial Capital, LLC of Beverly Hills, California, a formal opinion as to
    the fairness, from a financial point of view, of the proposed transaction.

    As a result, the El Paso business is reflected as discontinued operations in
    the accompanying financial statements.

18. BUSINESS SEGMENTS

    Information by Operating Segment - Operating segments are defined as
    components of an enterprise for which separate financial information is
    available that is evaluated regularly by the chief operating decision-maker,
    or decision-making group, in deciding how to allocate resources and in
    assessing performance.  Easyriders, Inc. chief operating decision-making
    group is comprised of the chief executive officer and the officers who
    report to him directly.

    Easyriders Inc. has four reportable segments: publishing, goods and
    services, franchising/licensing (all but 1 of the franchisees have converted
    to licensees), and other events and operations.  The publishing segment
    includes magazine and catalog publishing and other operations.  The trade
    goods and services segment distributes motorcycle apparel and other related
    goods to both intermediate and end-users and offers motorcycle repair and
    services through a Company owned store.  The franchising/licensing segment
    includes the franchising/licensing of Easyriders motorcycle stores for
    distribution of equipment and apparel.  The other events and operations
    segment includes the coordination and sponsorship of motorcycle related
    events and operations.

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

    Easyriders, Inc. evaluates performance based on profit or loss from
    operations before income taxes, not including nonrecurring gains and losses
    and foreign exchange gains and losses.  (The Company utilizes the other
    events and operations segment as a venue for increased exposure for
    publication sales.)  The accounting policies of the operating segments are
    the same as those described in the summary of significant accounting
    policies.  The financial results from continuing operations for Easyriders,
    Inc. four operating segments have been prepared on a basis which is
    consistent with the manner in which Easyriders, Inc. management internally
    disaggregates financial information for the purposes of assisting in making
    internal operating decisions.  In this regard, certain common expenses have
    been allocated among segments less precisely than would be required for
    stand alone financial information prepared in accordance with generally
    accepted accounting principles.  Revenue attributed to geographic areas is
    based on the location of the customer.

21.  SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

     Easyriders and Paisano continue to operate as debtors-in-possession
     pursuant to the petitions filed by each on July 17, 2001 for relief under
     Chapter 11 of the US Bankruptcy Code. In January, 2002, Easyriders and
     Paisano (collectively, "Debtors") proposed a Plan of Reorganization to be
     funded by Joseph Teresi which would have provided for the preservation of a
     public shareholder base, and the issuance of new shares to unsecured
     creditors. This plan was seen by management as a way to return
     substantially full value to creditors through market appreciation, and
     provide equity to those shareholders willing to contribute "new value" to
     retain shares. Nomura, however, objected to this plan, and in March, 2002
     made it clear that the only resolution it would support would be an asset
     sale transaction.

     After extensive negotiations, on April 6, 2002, Easyriders, Paisano, a
     number of corporations which are wholly-owned by Easyriders, Nomura and
     Joseph Teresi entered into an agreement entitled "Asset Purchase Agreement,
     Compromise of Controversies and Mutual Releases" (the "APA"), pursuant to
     which it is contemplated that (a) Mr. Teresi or a new entity owned by him
     (collectively, "Buyer") will purchase substantially all of the assets of
     Debtors, and thereafter continue the business operations previously
     conducted by Debtors, (b) as consideration for such purchase, Buyer shall
     pay to Nomura the sum of $5,250,000 at the closing, (c) Buyer shall assume
     all ordinary-course obligations of debtors incurred post-petition, but none
     of the pre-petition claims or obligations of the Debtors, (d) Nomura will
     waive its claims against Debtors for the balance owed under the Nomura
     Indebtedness and release all of its liens, (e) Mr. Teresi will waive his
     claim against Easyriders for the balance owed under the Subordinated Seller
     Notes, (f) all of the Debtors' cash, including the net proceeds to be
     realized by Easyriders from settlement of the Kaye Scholer Claim (the "Kaye
     Scholer Proceeds"), up to $1,500,000 will be made available to satisfy all
     of the Debtors' claims (excluding any claim of Nomura or Mr. Teresi) in
     accordance with the priorities set forth in the Bankruptcy Code, (g) Mr.
     Teresi will guarantee that the amount of such cash shall be not less than
     $1,500,000 at the time of closing (the "Closing Cash"), and (h) releases
     shall be given by and among Buyer, Nomura and Debtors with respect to all
     claims.

     The transactions contemplated by the APA (the "Global Settlement") will not
     be consummated unless and until approved by the Bankruptcy Court. A hearing
     on such request for approval has been scheduled for May 1, 2002, with the
     closing scheduled to occur on May 2, 2002 if approval is granted.

     In anticipation of consummating the Global Settlement, the Debtors, on
     March 29, 2002, each filed a Plan of Reorganization and Disclosure
     Statement providing for implementation of the Global Settlement. Pursuant
     thereto, it is assumed that the Kaye Scholer Proceeds (net of attorneys'
     fees) will be the only sum available for distribution to creditors of
     Easyriders, with the balance of the Closing Cash being allocated to the
     creditors of Paisano. The exact amount of the Kaye Scholer Proceeds will
     not be determined until at least May 8, 2002, at which time a hearing is
     scheduled to determine the amount of attorney fees to be paid out of the
     gross

     amount of the Kaye Scholer Proceeds ($395,000). In any event, it is
     anticipated that the net Kaye Scholer Proceeds will not be less than
     $256,750, which would mean that the cash available to creditors of Paisano
     would be not less than $1,243,250.

     If the Global Settlement is approved, it is anticipated that all of the
     stock of the Debtors would be cancelled, together with all options and
     contingent securities, and such holders would receive no distributions from
     the Debtors. If the Global Settlement is not approved, it is not presently
     possible to predict the outcome of the Chapter 11 cases.
