ITEM 1.           DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS

History

Appian,  Inc.  formerly  Funnlecloud,   Inc.  and  Cyberexcellence,   Inc.  (the
"Company")  was formed as a Nevada  corporation  on February 15,  1996,  for the
purpose of  specializing  in Internet  "virtual mall"  development.  The Company
changed its name to Funnelcloud,  Inc. in April 2003 and to Appian, Inc. May 10,
2004. The Company was one of over 40 related  companies whose plan was to create
a virtual mall with theme based stores to sell  merchandise  over the  Internet.
The Company's former parent, Axia Group, Inc. (f/k/a CyberAmerica  Corporation),
a fully  reporting  company  under the  Exchange  Act of 1934,  through  its now
defunct  subsidiary  CyberMalls,  Inc.  was  in  the  process  of  developing  a
specialized  search engine.  This search engine was designed to assist consumers
in the purchase of products by narrowing  the number of responses  received when
searching for a specific  product.  However,  due to a lack of necessary funding
CyberMalls,  Inc.'s  plans to  create  the  search  engine  were dis  continued.
Consequently,  the plans to create a virtual  mall with at least 40 theme  based
stores with the 40 related companies including the Company's theme based virtual
store were  abandoned.  The Company  became a "blank  check" or "shell"  company
during the last quarter of 1996 as a result of the  inability  of the  Company's
then  parent  to  sufficiently  fund the  Company's  planned  operations  and is
currently seeking a business or businesses to acquire.


General

The Company is a "blank check" or "shell" corporation that seeks to identify and
complete a merger or acquisition  with a private entity whose business  presents
an opportunity for Company  shareholders.  The Company's  management will review
and evaluate business ventures for possible mergers or acquisitions. The Company
has not yet  entered  into any  agreement,  nor does it have any  commitment  or
understanding  to enter into or become engaged in a transaction,  as of the date
of this filing.  Further, the business objectives discussed herein are extremely
general  and are not  intended  to  restrict  the  discretion  of the  Company's
management.

A decision to participate in a specific business  opportunity will be made based
upon a Company analysis of the quality of the prospective business opportunity's
management and personnel, asset base, the anticipated acceptability of business'
products or marketing concepts, the merit of a business plan, and numerous other
factors which are difficult,  if not impossible,  to analyze using any objective
criteria.

Selection of a Business

The Company  anticipates that potential business  opportunities will be referred
from  various  sources,  including  its  officers  and  directors,  professional
advisors,  securities broker-dealers,  venture capitalists,  persons involved in
the financial community,  and others who may present unsolicited proposals.  The
Company  will not  engage  in any  general  solicitation  or  advertising  for a
business  opportunity.  Management's  reliance  on "word of mouth" may limit the
number of potential business opportunities identified. While it is not presently
anticipated  that  the  Company  will  engage  unaffiliated  professional  firms
specializing  in business  acquisitions  or  reorganizations,  such firms may be
retained if management  deems it in the best  interest of the Company.  Finder's
fees  paid  to  professional  acquisition  firms  could  involve  one-time  cash
payments,  payments based on a percentage of the business opportunity's revenues
or product sales volume,  payments involving  issuance of securities  (including
those of the Company), or any combination of 1

                                       1
<PAGE>



these or other compensation arrangements. Consequently, the Company is unable to
predict the cost of utilizing  such  services.  As of the filing date there have
been  no  discussions,   agreements  or  understandings  with  any  professional
advisors,  financial  consultants,  broker-dealers or venture  capitalists.  The
Company's  present  intentions  are to rely upon its  officers  to effect those
services normally provided by professional advisors or financial consultants.

The Company will not restrict its search to any particular  business,  industry,
or geographical  location.  Management  reserves the right to evaluate and enter
into any type of business in any location.  In seeking a business  venture,  the
decision of management will not be controlled by an attempt to take advantage of
any anticipated or perceived appeal of a specific  industry,  management  group,
product,  or industry,  but will be based on the  business  objective of seeking
long-term capital appreciation. The Company may participate in a newly organized
business  venture  or in a more  established  business.  Participation  in a new
business  venture entails greater risks since, in many instances,  management of
such a venture may not have a proven track record;  the eventual market for such
venture's  product  or  services  will  likely  not  be  established;   and  the
profitability  of the venture  will be untested  and  impossible  to  accurately
forecast.  Should the Company  participate in a more established venture that is
experiencing  financial difficulty,  risks may stem from the Company's inability
to generate sufficient funds to manage or reverse the circumstances causing such
financial problems.

In analyzing  prospective  businesses,  management will consider,  to the extent
applicable,  the available technical,  financial and managerial resources of any
given business venture.  Management will also consider the nature of present and
expected  competition;   potential  advances  in  research  and  development  or
exploration;   the  potential  for  growth  and  expansion;  the  likelihood  of
sustaining a profit within given time frames;  the perceived public  recognition
or   acceptance   of  products,   services,   trade  or  service   marks;   name
identification;  and other relevant  factors.  The Company  anticipates that the
results of  operations of a specific  business  venture may not  necessarily  be
indicative  of the  potential  for future  earnings,  which may be impacted by a
change in marketing strategies,  business expansion, modifying product emphasis,
changing or substantially augmenting management, and other factors.

The Company will analyze all relevant factors and make a determination  based on
a composite of available information, without reliance on any single factor. The
period within which the Company will decide to  participate  in a given business
venture  cannot be predicted and will depend on certain  factors,  including the
time involved in  identifying  businesses,  the time required for the Company to
complete  its  analysis  of  such  businesses,  the  time  required  to  prepare
appropriate  documentation  to  effect  a  merger  or  acquisition,   and  other
circumstances.

Acquisition of a Business

The implementing of a structure that will effect any given business transaction,
may cause the Company to become party to a merger,  consolidation,  purchase and
sale of assets,  purchase or sale of stock,  or other  reorganization  involving
another corporation, joint venture, partnership or licensee. The exact structure
of  the   anticipated   business   transaction   cannot   yet   be   determined.
Notwithstanding  the above,  the  Company  does not intend to  participate  in a
business through the purchase of minority stock  positions.  In other words, the
Company  does not  intend  to  merely  buy non  controlling  interests  in other
businesses.  Rather, its current focus is to acquire a controlling interest in a
business. Upon the completion of a transaction,  it is likely that the Company's
present  management will no longer control Company affairs.  Further, a majority
or all of the  Company's  present  directors  may,  as  part of the  terms  of a
prospective  business  transaction,  resign  and be  replaced  by new  directors
without a vote of the Company's shareholders.

                                        2

<PAGE>

In connection  with the Company's  merger or acquisition of a business  venture,
the  present  shareholders  of the  Company  may,  as a  negotiated  part of the
transaction, sell a portion or all of the Company's Common Stock held by them at
a significant  premium over their  original  investment  in the Company.  If the
Company's current shareholders sell their stock as part of a merger/acquisition,
they may decide to sell a controlling  interest (i.e.,  over 50%) of the Company
to the other entity (including such other entity's  shareholders and affiliates)
which participates in the merger/acquisition. It is possible that the entity may
pay a higher price for shares belonging to insider  shareholders than for shares
belonging to non-insider  shareholders.  Although the Company's insiders have no
present  intentions to buy shares from other insiders,  it is a possibility that
insiders  could buy shares from other  insiders.  Management  does not intend to
actively  negotiate for or otherwise  require the purchase of all or any portion
of its stock as a condition  to or in  connection  with any  proposed  merger or
acquisition.  Although the Company's present  shareholders did not acquire their
shares of Common Stock with a view toward any subsequent sale in connection with
a  business  reorganization,  it is not  unusual  for  affiliates  of the entity
participating in the  reorganization to negotiate to purchase shares held by the
present shareholders.  This is done in order to reduce the amount of shares held
by  persons  no longer  affiliated  with the  Company  and  thereby  reduce  the
potential adverse impact on the public market in the Company's common stock that
could  result  from  substantial   sales  of  such  shares  after  the  business
reorganization.  Public  investors  will not  receive any portion of the premium
that may be paid in the  foregoing  circumstances.  Furthermore,  the  Company's
shareholders  may not be  afforded an  opportunity  to approve or consent to any
particular stock buy-out transaction.

In the event  sales of shares  by  present  shareholders  of the  Company  are a
negotiated  part of a future merger or  acquisition,  a conflict of interest may
arise  since the  officer-shareholders  will be  negotiating  for the  merger or
acquisition  on behalf of the Company and for the sale of their shares for their
own respective accounts.  Where a business opportunity is well suited for merger
or  acquisition  by the Company,  but  affiliates  of the  prospective  business
opportunity  impose a condition that management sell its shares at a price which
is unacceptable to them, management may not sacrifice its financial interest for
the Company to complete the transaction.  Where the business  opportunity is not
well suited, but the price offered management for its shares is high, management
may be inclined to effect the acquisition in order to realize a substantial gain
on its  shares  in the  Company.  Management  has not  adopted  any  policy  for
resolving the foregoing  potential  conflicts,  should they arise,  and does not
intend to obtain an  independent  appraisal to determine  whether any price that
may be offered for its shares is fair.  Shareholders must rely,  instead, on the
obligation of management to fulfill its fiduciary duty under state law to act in
the best interests of the Company and its shareholders.

Although the terms of any registration  rights and the number of securities,  if
any,  which may be  registered  cannot be  determined  at this  time,  it may be
expected  that any  registration  of  securities  by the  Company  would  entail
substantial expense to the Company.

The issuance of substantial  additional securities and their potential sale into
any trading  market  which may develop in the  Company's  securities  may have a
depressive effect on such market.



                                        3

<PAGE>

While the actual  terms of a  transaction  to which the  Company  may be a party
cannot be  determined  at this time,  it may be expected that the parties to any
business  transaction  will  find  it  desirable  to  structure  the  merger  or
acquisition as a so-called  "tax-free" event under sections 351 or 368(a) of the
Internal  Revenue  Code of 1986  (the  "Code").  In  order  to  obtain  tax-free
treatment under section 351 of the Code, it would be necessary for the owners of
the acquired  business to own 80% or more of the voting  stock of the  surviving
entity.  In such event,  the  shareholders of the Company would retain less than
20% of the  issued  and  outstanding  shares of the  surviving  entity.  Section
368(a)(1)  of the Code  provides  for  tax-free  treatment  of certain  business
reorganizations  between corporate entities where one corporation is merged with
or acquires the  securities  or assets of another  corporation.  Generally,  the
Company   expects  to  be  the   acquiring   corporation   in  such  a  business
reorganization,  and the tax-free status of the  transaction  will not depend on
the issuance of any specific  amount of the Company's  voting  securities  under
Section 368. The acquiring  corporation  will issue securities in such an amount
that the  shareholders of the acquired  corporation will hold 50% or more of the
voting  stock of the  surviving  entity.  Consequently,  there is a  substantial
possibility  that  the  shareholders  of the  Company  immediately  prior to the
transaction  would retain less than 50% of the issued and outstanding  shares of
the  surviving  entity.  Therefore,  regardless  of the  form  of  the  business
acquisition,  it may be anticipated that  stockholders  immediately prior to the
transaction  will  experience a  significant  reduction in their  percentage  of
ownership in the Company.

Notwithstanding  the  fact  that the  Company  is  technically  the  merging  or
acquiring entity in the foregoing  circumstances,  generally accepted accounting
principles will ordinarily  require that such transaction be accounted for as if
the  Company had been  acquired by the other  entity  owning the  business  and,
therefore, will not permit a write-up in the carrying value of the assets of the
other company.

The manner in which the Company  participates  in a business  will depend on the
nature of the  business,  the  respective  needs and  desires of the Company and
other  parties,  the  management of the business,  and the relative  negotiating
strength of the Company and such other management.

The  Company  will  participate  in a business  only after the  negotiation  and
execution  of  appropriate  written  agreements.  Although  the  terms  of  such

agreements  cannot be determined at this time,  generally such  agreements  will
require specific  representations  and warranties by all of the parties thereto,
will specify certain events of default, will detail the terms of closing and the
conditions which must be satisfied by each of the parties prior to such closing,
will outline the manner of bearing costs if the transaction is not closed,  will
set forth remedies on default, and will include miscellaneous other terms.

Operation of Business After Acquisition

The Company's  operation  following its merger or acquisition of a business will
be  dependent  on the nature of the  business  and the  interest  acquired.  The
Company is unable to  determine  at this time  whether  the  Company  will be in
control of the business or whether present  management will be in control of the
Company  following  the  acquisition.  It may be expected that the business will
present various risks, which cannot be predicted at the present time.

Government Regulation

It is  impossible  to anticipate  government  regulations,  if any, to which the
Company may be subject until it has acquired an interest in a business.  The use
of assets to conduct a business  which the Company may acquire  could subject it
to  environmental,   public  health  and  safety,  land  use,  trade,  or  other
governmental regulations and state or local taxation. In selecting a business in

                                        4

<PAGE>

which to acquire an interest,  management  will  endeavor to  ascertain,  to the
extent of the limited  resources of the Company,  the effects of such government
regulation on the prospective business of the Company. In certain circumstances,
however,  such as the  acquisition of an interest in a new or start-up  business
activity,  it may not be  possible to predict  with any degree of  accuracy  the
impact of  government  regulation.  The  inability  to  ascertain  the effect of
government   regulation  on  a  prospective  business  activity  will  make  the

acquisition of an interest in such business a higher risk.

Competition

The  Company  will be  involved  in  intense  competition  with  other  business
entities,  many of which will have a competitive edge over the Company by virtue
of their stronger financial resources and prior experience in business. There is
no assurance that the Company will be successful in obtaining  suitable business
opportunities.

Employees

The Company is a  development  stage  company and  currently  has no  employees.
Executive  officers  will devote only such time to the affairs of the Company as
they deem appropriate, which is estimated to be approximately 5 hours per month.
Management of the Company expects to use consultants, attorneys, and accountants
as necessary,  and does not anticipate a need to engage any full-time  employees
so long as it is identifying and evaluating  businesses.  The need for employees
and their  availability  will be addressed in connection with a decision whether
or not to acquire or participate in a specific business venture.

ITEM 2.           DESCRIPTION OF PROPERTY

The Company currently maintains its offices at the home of F. Briton McConkie, a
director of the  Company, 4114 Splendor  Way,  Salt Lake City,  Utah 84124.  The
Company pays no rent for the use of this  address.  The Company does not believe
that it will need to maintain an office at any time in the foreseeable future in
order to carry out the plan of operation described herein.

ITEM 3.           LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

The Company is currently not a party to any legal proceedings.

ITEM 4.           SUBMISSION OF MATTERS TO A VOTE OF SECURITY HOLDERS

No matter was submitted  during the fiscal year covered by this report to a vote
of security holders, therefore rendering this item inapplicable.

                                     PART II

ITEM 5.           MARKET PRICE OF AND DIVIDENDS ON THE REGISTRANT'S COMMON
                  EQUITY AND OTHER SHAREHOLDER MATTERS

The Company currently has no public trading market.  The Company intends to have
Form  15c-(2)(11)  filed on its behalf once a suitable  business  acquisition or
merger has been  completed in an effort to obtain a listing on the NASD over the
counter bulletin board and create a public market. Management believes that the

                                        5

<PAGE>

creation of a public trading market for the Company's  securities would make the
Company a more attractive acquisition or merger candidate.  However, there is no
guarantee  that the Company  will obtain a listing on the NASD  over-the-counter
bulletin board or that a public market for the Company's securities will develop
or, if such a market does develop,  that it will continue,  even if a listing on
the NASD over the counter bulletin board is obtained.

Recent Sales of Unregistered Securities

There were no sales of unregistered securities during the calendar year 2001.

Record Holders

As of  December 31, 2003, there  were  Eighty-one  (81)  shareholders  of record
holding a total of 11,243,118 shares of Common Stock.  The holders of the Common
Stock are  entitled  to one vote for each  share  held of record on all  matters
submitted  to a vote  of  stockholders.  Holders  of the  Common  Stock  have no
preemptive  rights and no right to  convert  their  Common  Stock into any other
securities. There are no redemption or sinking fund provisions applicable to the
Common Stock.

Dividends

The  Company  has not  declared  any  dividends  since  inception  and  does not
anticipate  paying any  dividends  in the  foreseeable  future.  The  payment of
dividends is within the  discretion of the Board of Directors and will depend on
the Company's earnings,  capital  requirements,  financial condition,  and other
relevant  factors.  There are no restrictions that currently limit the Company's
ability to pay dividends on its Common Stock other than those generally  imposed
by applicable state law.

ITEM 6.           MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OR PLAN OF OPERATION


Plan of Operations

The Company's  plan of operation for the coming year, is to identify and acquire
a favorable business opportunity. The Company does not plan to limit its options
to any particular  industry,  but will evaluate each  opportunity on its merits.
The  Company  anticipates  that its owners,  affiliates,  and  consultants  will
provide it with sufficient  capital to continue  operations until the end of the
year 2004,  but there can be no assurance  that this  expectation  will be fully
realized.

The Company has  identified a company for  acquisition  through merger and is in
the process of negotiating with the owners of Water & Wellness Center. The Water
& Wellness  Center  intends to convert  consumers  to steam  distilled  drinking
water. They plan to achieve this by educating consumers about water. The Water &
Wellness Center have developed a unique water  demonstration  that creates loyal
customers  for the Water & Wellness  Center  stores.  In  addition,  the Water &
Wellness  Center has  developed a unique  bottled water concept for mass market,
called Bons Concious Water When You Know Better, tm.

As the fastest growing segment in the beverage industry,  bottled water is a $35
billion  industry  worldwide and  continues to grow as water  quality  concerns,
fitness and health awareness continues.

Results of Operations

The Company had no revenue from continuing operations from inception through
period ended December 31, 2003.

The Company worked on developing  security  related software during 2003. It was
determined  at the end of the  year  that the  project  was not  viable  and was
abandoned.  Most of the expenses incurred during 2003 were software  development
costs and consultant costs totaling  $130,201.  Other general and administrative
expenses  for the period  ended  December  31,  2003 were  $15,003.  General and
administrative  expenses  of $9,344 for 2002  consisted  of expenses to keep the
Company  in good  corporate  standing,  fees to  Transfer  Agents,  and  minimal
expenses for office.


The  Company  had a net loss of  $145,204  and  $9,343  for the  periods  ending
December 31, 2003 and December 31, 2002 respectively .

                                        6

<PAGE>

The  Company  does not  expect  to  generate  any  meaningful  revenue  or incur
operating  expenses  unless and until it acquires  an  interest in an  operating
company.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

As of  December  31,  2003,  the  Company  had no major  assets.  The Company is
currently  authorized  to issue  100,000,000  shares of common  stock,  of which
11,243,118 shares are issued and outstanding,  and 5,000,000 shares of preferred
stock,  none of which is  outstanding  as of December  31, 2003.  Management  is
hopeful  that  becoming  a  reporting   company  will  increase  the  number  of
prospective  business ventures that may be available to the Company.  Management
believes that the Company has sufficient resources to meet the anticipated needs
of the Company's  operations  through at least the calendar year ending December
31, 2004. The Company  anticipates that its major  shareholders  will contribute
sufficient  funds to satisfy the cash needs of the Company through calendar year
ending December 31, 2004. However, there can be no assurances to that effect, as
the  Company  has no  revenues  and the  Company's  need for  capital may change
dramatically  if it acquires an interest in a business  opportunity  during that
period.  Further,  the Company has no plans to ra ise additional capital through
private  placements or public  registration of its securities  until a merger or
acquisition candidate is identified.  Upon consummation of a merger, the Company
may decide to file the  necessary  and  appropriate  registration  statements to
register the affiliates'  shares.  In addition,  it is the position of the small
business  division the  securities  and exchange  commission  that  promoters or
affiliates of blank check companies, as well as their transferees, are deemed to
be  "underwriters"  of the securities  issued both before and after any business
combination.

The Company  projects that its operating  requirements  will not exceed  $15,000
over the next  twelve  months.  If no  acquisition  candidate  is found  for the
Company  during this time,  shareholders  will loan the Company  sufficient
funds to cover  these  costs over the next twelve  months.  Management will
provide their expertise in preparing  the  necessary  documentation  to keep the
Company current with its reporting  requirements  with the Securities & Exchange
Commission and those costs will accrue on the Company's  balance  sheet.  In the
event that a merger or  acquisition  occurs  over the next  twelve  months,  the
target  company  will be  responsible  for paying  these costs back to the major
shareholders,  or the major  shareholders may waive these costs depending on the
nature of the acquisition or merger transaction.

               REPORT OF INDEPENDENT CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS



Board of Directors of
Appian, Inc.
Salt Lake City, Utah

We have audited the  accompanying  balance sheet of Appian,  Inc. (a development
stage  company) at December 31, 2003 and the related  statements of  operations,
stockholders'  equity and cash flows for the years ended  December  31, 2003 and
2002,  the period from  February  15, 1996 (date of  inception)  to December 31,
2003.  These  financial  statements  are  the  responsibility  of the  Company's
management.  Our  responsibility  is to express  an  opinion on these  financial
statements based on our audit.

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

In our opinion,  the financial  statements  referred to above present fairly, in
all  material  respects,  the  financial  position of  Appian,  Inc. (a
development  stage  company) as of  December  31,  2003,  and the results of its
operations  and its cash flows for the years ended  December  31, 2003 and 2002,
and the period from  February 15, 1996 (date of  inception) to December 31, 2003
in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States
of America.

The  accompanying  financial  statements  have been  prepared  assuming that the
Company will  continue as a going  concern.  The Company has suffered  recurring
operating losses from operations from its inception and has very limited working
capital.  These conditions raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue
as a  going  concern.  Management's  plans  regarding  those  matters  are  also
described in Note 4. These  financial  statements do not include any adjustments
that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

                          Notes to Financial Statements


1.       Organization

The Company was  incorporated  under the laws of the State of Nevada on February
15, 1996 with the name of  "Cyberexcellence,  Inc." with authorized common stock
of 20,000,000  shares at $0.001 par value,  and  authorized  preferred  stock of
5,000,000  shares  at  $0.001  par  value.  The  Company  changed  its  name  to
Funnelcloud,  Inc. and on May 10, 2004  changed its name to Appian,  Inc. On May
10, 2004 the authorized common capital stock was increased to 100,000,000 shares
with the same par value.  Ther terms of the preferred capital stock has not been
determined by management.

operations.

2.       Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Accounting Methods

The Company recognized income and expenses based on the accrual method of
accounting.

Dividend Policy

The Company has not adopted a policy regarding payment of dividends.

Income Taxes

The Company utilizes the liability method of accounting for income taxes.  Under
the liability  method,  deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based
on the differences  between financial  reporting and tax bases of the assets and
liabilities  and are measured  using the enacted tax rates and laws that will be
in effect when the  differences  are expected to reverse.  An allowance  against
deferred tax assets is recognized  when it is more likely than not that such tax
benefits will not be realized.

On December 31,  2003,  the Company had a net  operating  loss  carryforward  of
$164,248.  The tax benefit of approximately  $49,000 form the loss  carryforward
has been fully offset by a valuation  reserve  because the use of the future tax
benefit is doubtful since the Company has no operations.  The net operating loss
will expire starting in 2013 through 2024. Earnings (Loss) Per Share


Basic and Diluted Net Income (Loss) Per Share

Basic net income  (loss) per share  amounts are  computed  based on the weighted
average  number of shares  actually  outstanding.  Diluted net income (loss) per
share amounts are computed  using the weighted  average  number of common shares
and common  equilivent  shares  outstanding  as if shares had been issued on the
exercise of any common or  preferred  share rights  unless the exercise  becomes
antidilutive and then only the basic per share amounts are shown in the report.

Financial and Concentration Risk

The Company does not have any concentration or related financial credit risk.

Revenue Recognition

Revenue  will be  recognized  on the  sale  and  delivery  of a  product  or the
completion of a service provided.

Advertising and Market Development

The company will expense advertising and market development costs as incurred.

Estimates and Assumptions

Management uses estimates and assumptions in preparing  financial  statements in
accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of
America.  Those  estimates and  assumptions  affect the reported  amounts of the
assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent  assets and liabilities,
and the  reported  revenues and  expenses.  Acutal  results  could vary from the
estimates that were assumed in preparing those financial statements.

Financial Instruments

The carrying amounts of financial instruments are considered by management to be
their estimated fair values.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

The  Company  does not  expect  that the  adoption  of other  recent  accounting
pronouncements will have a material impact on its financial statements.


3.       CAPITAL STOCK

shares.  The stock was issued in 2004.  On May 5, 2004 the  Company  completed a
forward  common  stock split of one  outstanding  share for three  shares.  This
report has been prepared showing post split shares from inception.

4.       SIGNIFICANT TRANSACTIONS WITH RELATED PARTIES

Officers-directors have acquired 72% of the common capital stock issued and have
made no interest demand on loans to the Company of $9,397.

5.       GOING CONCERN

The  Company  intends to acquire  interests  in various  business  opportunities
which,  in the  opinion of  management,  will  provide a profit to the  Company.
However there is sufficient  working capital for any future planned activity and
to service its debt. Continuation of the Company as a going concern is dependent
upon obtaining working capital for any future planned activity and management of
the Company will be required to develop a strategy  which will  accomplish  this
objective.  There can be no assurance that the Company can be successful in this
effort.

ITEM 10.  EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION

No cash  compensation  was paid to any officers of the company during the fiscal
years  ended  December  31,  2002 or 2001.  The Company in 1996 also issued Axia
Group,  Inc.  (f/k/a   CyberAmerica   Corporation)   1,000,000  shares  for  the
organizational  cost of the  Company  valued at $1,000.  There is  currently  no
policy in place that prevents the Company from  compensating  its present or any
future  officer,  director or affiliate in the form of the  Company's  shares of
common stock or other non-cash compensation. The Company has no current plans to
compensate any of the aforementioned  entities in this manner in the foreseeable
future.  However,  the Company may agree to register  the shares  pursuant to an
appropriate  registration  statement on or after the Company effects a merger or
acquisition.

The Company has no  agreement  or  understanding,  express or implied,  with any
officer,  director or principal stockholder,  or their affiliates or associates,
regarding employment with the Company or compensation for services.  The Company
has no plan, agreement, or understanding,  express or implied, with any officer,
director or principal stockholder, or their affiliates or associates,  regarding
the  issuance  to such  persons of any shares of the  Company's  authorized  and
unissued common stock. There is no understanding  between the Company and any of
its present  stockholders  regarding  the sale of a portion or all of the common
stock currently held by them in connection with any future  participation by the
Company in a business. There are no other plans, understandings, or arrangements
whereby any of the Company's principal stockholders,  or any of their affiliates
or associates,  would receive funds,  stock,  or other assets in connection with
the  Company's  participation  in a  business.  No  advances  have  been made or
contemplated  by the  Company to any of its  principal  stockholders,  or any of
their affiliates or associates.

There is no policy that prevents management from adopting a plan or agreement in
the future that would provide for cash or stock based  compensation for services
rendered to the Company.

Upon the merger or  acquisition  of a  business,  it is  possible  that  current
management  will resign and be replaced by persons  associated with the business
acquired,  particularly if the Company participates in a business by effecting a
stock  exchange,  merger,  or  consolidation.  In the event that Richard  Surber
remains  after  effecting  a  business  acquisition,  his  time  commitment  and
compensation  will likely be adjusted  based on the nature and  location of such
business and the services required, which cannot now be foreseen.

No  compensation in excess of $100,000 was awarded to, earned by, or paid to any
executive  officer of the company  during the years 1999 to 2001.  The following
table  provides  summary  information  for each of the last three  fiscal  years
concerning cash and non-cash compensation paid or accrued by Richard Surber, the
Company's chief executive officer for the past three years.
