ITEM 1.  DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS

     The  Company has not engaged in any  operations  other than  organizational
matters. Western Financial Corporation,  a Wyoming corporation,  (the "Company")
was  incorporated  on September 16, 1997,  and was formed  specifically  to be a
"clean public shell" and for the purpose of either  merging with or acquiring an
operating company with operating history and assets.

     The primary  activity of the Company has involved and will involve  seeking
merger or acquisition  candidates with whom it can either merge or acquire.  The
Company has not  selected  any company  for  acquisition  or merger and does not
intend to limit  potential  acquisitions  candidates to any particular  field or
industry,  but does retain the right to limit acquisition or merger  candidates,
if it so chooses, to a particular field or industry.  The Company's plans are in
the conceptual stage only.

     The proposed business activities described herein classify the Company as a
"blank  check" or "shell  company"  whose sole purpose at this time is to locate
and consummate a merger or acquisition. Many states have enacted statutes, rules
and  regulations  limiting the sale of securities of "blank check"  companies in
their  respective  jurisdictions.  Management does not believe it will undertake
any  efforts to cause a trading  market to develop in the  Company's  securities
until such time as the Company has  successfully  implemented  its business plan
described  herein.  However,  if the Company  intends to facilitate the eventual
creation  of a public  trading  market in its  outstanding  securities,  it must
consider  that the Company's  securities,  when  available for trading,  will be
subject to a Securities and Exchange  Commission rule that imposes special sales
practice  requirements upon  broker-dealers  who sell such securities to persons
other than established  customers or accredited  investors.  For purposes of the
rule, the phrase  "accredited  investors" means, in general terms,  institutions
with assets in excess of $5,000,000, or individuals having a net worth in excess
of $1,000,000 or having an annual  income that exceeds  $200,000 (or that,  when
combined with a spouse's income, exceeds $300,000).  For transactions covered by
the rule, the broker-dealer  must make a special  suitability  determination for
the purchaser and receive the purchaser's  written  agreement to the transaction
prior  to  the  sale.   Consequently,   the  rule  may  affect  the  ability  of
broker-dealers to sell the Company's  securities and also may affect the ability
of purchasers in this offering to sell their securities in any market that might
develop therefor.

Competition

     The Company expects to encounter substantial  competition in its efforts to
locate attractive opportunities,  primarily from business development companies,
venture capital  partnerships and  corporations,  venture capital  affiliates of
large  industrial  and financial  companies,  small  investment  companies,  and
wealthy  individuals.  Many of these  entities will have  significantly  greater
experience,  resources  and  managerial  capabilities  than the Company and will
therefore  be in a  better  position  than  the  Company  to  obtain  access  to
attractive business opportunities.






<PAGE>



Employees

     The  Company's  only  employee at the present  time is its sole officer and
director,  who will devote as much time as he  determines  is necessary to carry
out the affairs of the Company.

ITEM 2.  DESCRIPTION OF PROPERTY

     The Company has a working agreement with the Company president to share use
of 600 square feet of office space, telephones and secretarial services supplied
on a gratis basis.

ITEM 3.  LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

     No material  legal  proceedings  to which the Company (or its  director and
officer in his capacity as such) is party or to which property of the Company is
subject is pending and no such material proceeding is known by management of the
Company to be contemplated.

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

     None.

                                     PART II

ITEM 5.  MARKET FOR COMMON EQUITY AND RELATED STOCKHOLDER
MATTERS

     There has been no public  trading  market for the  Company's  common stock.
Holders  of common  stock are  entitled  to  receive  such  dividends  as may be
declared by the Company's  Board of Directors.  No dividends on the common stock
have been paid by the Company,  nor does the Company  anticipate  that dividends
will be paid in the foreseeable future.

ITEM 6.  MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS OR PLAN OF OPERATION

     The following  discussion  should be read in conjunction with the Financial
Statements and notes thereto.

OPERATIONS

     The  Company  intends  to  seek,  investigate  and,  if such  investigation
warrants, acquire an interest in one or more business opportunities presented to
it by persons or firms who or which  desire to seek  perceived  advantages  of a
publicly held corporation.

     The Company will not restrict its search to any specific business, industry
or geographical  location, and the Company may participate in a business venture
of virtually any kind or nature.  The discussion of the proposed  business under
this  caption  and  throughout  is  purposefully  general and is not meant to be
restrictive of the Company's  virtually  unlimited  discretion to search for and
enter into potential business opportunities.

     The Company may obtain funds in one or more private  placements  to finance
the  operation  of any  acquired  business,  if  necessary.  Persons  purchasing
securities in these placements and other



<PAGE>





shareholders will likely not have the opportunity to participate in the decision
relating to any  acquisition.  The  Company's  proposed  business  is  sometimes
referred  to  as a  "blind  pool"  because  any  investors  will  entrust  their
investment  monies  to the  Company's  management  before  they have a chance to
analyze any  ultimate  use to which their  money may be put.  Consequently,  the
Company's  potential success is heavily  dependent on the Company's  management,
which will have  unlimited  discretion  in  searching  for and  entering  into a
business  opportunity.  The sole officer and director of the Company  likely has
had no  experience  in any  proposed  business of the  Company.  There can be no
assurance that the Company will be able to raise any funds in private placement.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

     The Company  remains in the  development  stage and, since  inception,  has
experienced  no  significant   change  in  liquidity  or  capital  resources  or
stockholder's  equity.  The  Company's  balance  sheet as of December  31, 2000,
reflects a current asset value of $0.00, and a total asset value of $0.00.

     The Company  will carry out its plan of business as  discussed  above.  The
Company cannot  predict to what extent its liquidity and capital  resources will
be diminished prior to the consummation of a business combination or whether its
capital  will be  further  depleted  by the  operating  losses  (if  any) of the
business entity which the Company may eventually acquire.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

     During the period from  October 20, 1999 through  December  31,  2000,  the
Company  has  engaged in no  significant  operations  other than  organizational
activities  and  preparation  for  registration  of  its  securities  under  the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934. No revenues were received by the Company during
this period.

     For the current fiscal year, the Company anticipates  incurring a loss as a
result of organizational  expenses,  expenses associated with registration under
the Securities  Exchange Act of 1934, and expenses  associated with locating and
evaluating acquisition candidates. The Company anticipates that until a business
combination  is completed with an  acquisition  candidate,  it will not generate
revenues other than interest income, and may continue to operate at a loss after
completing  a  business  combination,  depending  upon  the  performance  of the
acquired business.

Need for Additional Financing

     The Company  believes that its existing  capital will be sufficient to meet
the Company's cash needs,  including the costs of compliance with the continuing
reporting requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, for a
period of approximately two years. Accordingly, in the event the Company is able
to complete a business  combination  during this period, it anticipates that its
existing  capital  will be  sufficient  to  allow it to  accomplish  the goal of
completing a business  combination.  There is no  assurance,  however,  that the
available funds will  ultimately  prove to be adequate to allow it to complete a
business  combination,  and  once  a  business  combination  is  completed,  the
Company's needs for additional financing are likely to increase substantially.

FEDERAL INCOME TAX ASPECTS OF INVESTMENT IN THE COMPANY

     The  discussion  contained  herein has been  prepared by the Company and is
based on existing law as contained in the Code,  amended United States  Treasury
Regulations ("Treasury Regulations"), administrative rulings and court decisions
as of the date of this  Annual  Report.  No  assurance  can be given that future
legislative  enactments,  administrative  rulings  or court  decisions  will not
modify the legal basis for  statements  contained in this  discussion.  Any such
development may be applied retroactively to transactions  completed prior to the
date thereof,  and could contain  provisions  having an adverse  affect upon the
Company and the holders of the Common Stock. In addition,  several of the issues
dealt with in this summary are the subjects of proposed and  temporary  Treasury
Regulations.  No assurance can be given that these  regulations  will be finally
adopted in their present form.

FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENT

     This  Management's  Discussion  and  Analysis of  Financial  Condition  and
Results of  Operations  includes  a number of  forward-looking  statements  that
reflect  Management's  current views with respect to future events and financial
performance. Those statements include statements regarding the intent, belief or
current  expectations  of the Company and members of its management team as well
as the assumptions on which such statements are based. Prospective investors are
cautioned that any such forward-looking  statements are not guarantees of future
performance  and involve  risk and  uncertainties,  and that actual  results may
differ materially from those  contemplated by such  forward-looking  statements.
Readers are urged to carefully review and consider the various  disclosures made
by the Company in this report and in the Company's  other reports filed with the
Securities  and  Exchange  Commission.  Important  factors  currently  known  to
Management  could  cause  actual  results  to differ  materially  from  those in
forward-looking  statements.  The Company  undertakes no obligation to update or
revise forward-looking statements to reflect changed assumptions, the occurrence
of unanticipated  events or changes in the future  operating  results over time.
The Company believes that its assumptions are based upon reasonable data derived
from and known about its business and operations and the business and operations
of the Company.  No assurances are made that actual results of operations or the
results of the Company's future  activities will not differ  materially from its
assumptions.

ITEM 7.  FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

     The financial  statements  are included  beginning at F-1. See Index to the
Financial Statements.

ITEM 8.  CHANGES IN AND DISAGREEMENTS WITH ACCOUNTANTS
              ON ACCOUNTING AND FINANCIAL DISCLOSURE

     None.

                                    PART III

ITEM 9.  DIRECTORS, EXECUTIVE OFFICERS, PROMOTERS AND CONTROL
PERSONS

Directors and Executive Officers.

     The members of the Board of Directors  of the Company  serve until the next
annual meeting of stockholders, or until their successors have been elected. The
officers serve at the pleasure of the Board of Directors.  Information as to the
director and executive officer of the Company is as follows.

     Daniel  Hodges,  35, has been sole  Director,  President,  Chief  Financial
Officer  and  Secretary  of the Company  since  inception.  Mr.  Hodges has been
president  and  director  of  Solomon  Consulting  Corp.  which  specializes  in
corporate  and  securities  consulting  since 1995. He has owned and operated an
industrial  manufacturing  company,  "APRI, Inc." since 1998. He is currently on
the  board  of  directors  of two  charitable  organizations  as well as over 10
for-profit corporations. Within the past year, several companies that maintain a
public trading status have had Mr. Hodges as a director including: Avartarra.com
(symbol:  AVAR),  Landstar,  Inc. (LDSR),  and Hyaton Company,  Inc. (HYTN). Mr.
Hodges  received his B.S.  from Thomas A. Edison State  College in Trenton,  New
Jersey. He is also a graduate of the U.S. Air Force Undergraduate Pilot Training
program and is  currently  the rank of Captain as an officer in the Air National
Guard.

Conflicts of Interest

     Certain  conflicts of interest now exist and will continue to exist between
the Company  and its sole  officer  and  director  due to the fact that each has
other business interests to which he devotes his primary  attention.  Mr. Hodges
has organized,  is an officer,  director and has a controlling  interest in more
than 100  "blank  check"  companies  whose  business  is  similar to that of the
Company.  He may continue to do so notwithstanding the fact that management time
should be devoted to the business of the Company.

     Certain  conflicts of interest  may exist  between the Company and its sole
director and officer,  Mr. Hodges,  and conflicts may develop in the future. The
Company has not established policies or procedures for the resolution of current
or potential  conflicts of interests.  There can be no assurance that Mr. Hodges
will resolve all  conflicts of interest in favor of the Company,  and failure by
Mr. Hodges to conduct the Company's  business in the Company's best interest may
result in liability to Mr. Hodges. Mr. Hodges, as the sole officer and director,
is accountable to the Company as a fiduciary, which means that he is required to
exercise  good  faith  and   integrity  in  handling  the   Company's   affairs.
Shareholders  who  believe  that the  Company  has been harmed by failure of Mr.
Hodges to  appropriately  resolve  any  conflict  of  interest  may,  subject to
applicable  rule  of  civil  procedure,  be able to  bring  a  class  action  or
derivative suit to enforce their rights and the Company's rights.

     The Company has no  arrangement,  understanding  or intention to enter into
any transaction for participating in any business  opportunity with any officer,
director,  or principal  shareholder  or with any firm or business  organization
with which such persons are affiliated, whether by reason of



<PAGE>



stock ownership, position as an officer or director, or otherwise.

Compliance with Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934

     Section  16(a)  of the  Exchange  Act,  requires  the  Company's  officers,
directors and persons who  beneficially  own more than ten percent of the Common
Stock to file reports of securities ownership and changes in such ownership with
the Securities and Exchange Commission. Officers, directors and greater than ten
percent  beneficial  owners  also  are  required  by  rules  promulgated  by the
Securities  and  Exchange  Commission  to furnish the Company with copies of all
Section 16(a) forms they file.

ITEM 10.  EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION

     No  compensation  is paid or anticipated  to be paid by the Company.  It is
possible that upon an acquisition  some  compensation may be paid to management.
On acquisition of a business  opportunity,  current management may resign and be
replaced  by  persons  associated  with  the  business   opportunity   acquired,
particularly if the Company  participates in a business opportunity by effecting
a reorganization,  merger or consolidation.  If any member of current management
remains after effecting a business opportunity  acquisition,  that member's time
commitment  will  likely  be  adjusted  based on the  nature  and  method of the
acquisition and location of the business which cannot be predicted. Compensation
of management will be determined by the new board of directors, and shareholders
of the  Company  will  not  have  the  opportunity  to vote on or  approve  such
compensation.

ITEM 11.  SECURITY OWNERSHIP OF BENEFICIAL OWNERS AND MANAGEMENT

Principal Shareholders

     The table below sets forth  information  as to each person owning of record
or who  was  known  by the  Company  to own  beneficially  more  than  5% of the
1,000,000 shares of issued and outstanding  Common Stock,  including  options to
acquire stock of the Company as of December 31, 2000 and  information  as to the
ownership of the Company's Stock by each of its directors and executive officers
and by the  directors  and  executive  officers as a group.  Except as otherwise
indicated,  all shares are owned  directly,  and the persons  named in the table
have  sole  voting  and  investment  power  with  respect  to  shares  shown  as
beneficially owned by them.

                                                                 # of

ITEM 12.  CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS

     In connection  with  organizing the Company,  on November 4, 1997,  persons
consisting of its officers, directors, and other individuals were issued a total
of 1,000  shares of Common  Stock at a value of $.001 per share.  On October 20,
1999, the outstanding shares were forward split 1,000 to 1, resulting in a total
of 1,000,000 shares outstanding. Under Rule 405 promulgated under the Securities
Act of 1933, Mr. Hodges may be deemed to be a promoter of the Company.

                          INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT


Western Financial Corporation
(A Development Stage Company)


     We have  audited  the  accompanying  balance  sheets of  Western  Financial
Corporation (a development  stage company) as of December 31, 2000 and 1999, and
the  related  statements  of  operations  and cash flows for the two years ended
December 31, 2000 and the statement of  stockholders'  equity from September 16,
1997  (inception)  to December  31, 2000.  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 audits.

     We conducted  our audits in accordance  with  generally  accepted  auditing
standards.  Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatement.  An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements.  An audit also includes
assessing the  accounting  principles  used and  significant  estimates  made by
management,  as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.
We believe that our audits provide 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  Western  Financial
Corporation (a development  stage company) as of December 31, 2000 and 1999, and
the  results  of its  operations  and its cash  flows  for the two  years  ended
December 31, 2000 in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

                          WESTERN FINANCIAL CORPORATION
                          (A Development Stage Company)
                          NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                 FOR THE YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2000 AND 1999


NOTE 1 - ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

     This summary of accounting  policies for Western  Financial  Corporation is
presented to assist in understanding  the Company's  financial  statements.  The
accounting policies conform to generally accepted accounting principles and have
been consistently applied in the preparation of the financial statements.

Organization and Basis of Presentation

     The  Company  was  incorporated  under the laws of the State of  Wyoming on
September  16, 1997.  The Company  ceased all  operating  activities  during the
period from September 16, 1997 to October 20, 1999 and was  considered  dormant.
Since October 20, 1999,  the Company is in the  development  stage,  and has not
commenced planned principal operations.

Nature of Business

     The Company has no products  or  services  as of  December  31,  2000.  The
Company was organized as a vehicle to seek merger or acquisition candidates. The
Company intends to acquire interests in various business opportunities, which in
the opinion of management will provide a profit to the Company.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

     For purposes of the  statement  of cash flows,  the Company  considers  all
highly liquid debt instruments purchased with a maturity of three months or less
to be cash equivalents to the extent the funds are not being held for investment
purposes.

Pervasiveness of Estimates

     The  preparation  of financial  statements  in  conformity  with  generally
accepted  accounting  principles  required  management  to  make  estimates  and
assumptions  that  affect the  reported  amounts of assets and  liabilities  and
disclosure of  contingent  assets and  liabilities  at the date of the financial
statements  and the  reported  amounts  of  revenues  and  expenses  during  the
reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

                          (A Development Stage Company)
                          NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                 FOR THE YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2000 AND 1999
                                   (Continued)

NOTE 1 - ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
(Continued)

Loss per Share

     The  reconciliations  of the numerators and  denominators of the basic loss
per share computations are as follows:

                                                              Per-Share
                              Income         Shares           Amount
                              ------         ------           ------
                             (Numerator)    (Denominator)

                             For the year ended December 31, 2000
Basic Loss per Share
Loss to common shareholders  $      (2,811)      1,000,000   $        -
                             =============  ==============   ===========

                             For the year ended December 31, 1999
Basic Loss per Share
Loss to common shareholders  $         (25)      1,000,000   $        -
                             =============  ==============   ===========

     The effect of outstanding  common stock  equivalents would be anti-dilutive
for December 31, 2000 and 1999 and are thus not considered.

Concentration of Credit Risk

     The Company has no significant  off-balance-sheet  concentrations of credit
risk such as foreign  exchange  contracts,  options  contracts or other  foreign
hedging  arrangements.  The Company  maintains the majority of its cash balances
with one financial institution, in the form of demand deposits.

NOTE 2 - INCOME TAXES

     As of December 31, 2000, the Company had a net operating loss  carryforward
for income tax  reporting  purposes of  approximately  $3,900 that may be offset
against future taxable income through 2011. Current tax laws limit the amount of
loss  available to be offset  against  future  taxable income when a substantial
change in ownership  occurs.  Therefore,  the amount  available to offset future
taxable income may be limited. No tax benefit has been reported in the financial
statements,  because the Company  believes  there is a 50% or greater chance the
carryforwards will expire unused. Accordingly, the potential tax benefits of the
loss carryforwards are offset by a valuation allowance of the same amount.

                 FOR THE YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2000 AND 1999
                                   (Continued)

NOTE 3 - DEVELOPMENT STAGE COMPANY

     The  Company  has not begun  principal  operations  and as is common with a
development  stage  company,  the Company has had  recurring  losses  during its
development stage.

NOTE 4 - COMMITMENTS

     As of December 31, 2000 all  activities of the Company have been  conducted
by corporate  officers from either their homes or business  offices.  Currently,
there  are no  outstanding  debts  owed by the  company  for  the  use of  these
facilities and there are no commitments for future use of the facilities.

NOTE 5 - STOCK SPLIT

     On October  20,  1999 the Board of  Directors  authorized  1,000 to 1 stock
split, changed the authorized number of shares to 100,000,000 shares and the par
value to $.001 for the Company's common stock. As a result of the split, 999,000
shares were issued. All references in the accompanying  financial  statements to
the number of common shares and per-share amounts for 1999 have been restated to
reflect the stock split.
