### **Item 1.            DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS**

**Background**

            Riverbend is a developmental stage Nevada corporation formed in August 2001.  Since inception, Riverbend has marketed telecommunication services forresellers and carriers of local and long distance telephone and prepaid calling card, data and internet services on a limited basis.

**Business Strategy**

**           ***General Strategy*

            Riverbend was organized to market telecommunication services for resellers and carriers of local and long distance telephone and prepaid calling card, data andinternet services.  In August 2001, Riverbend entered into a non-exclusive marketing agreement with Norcom, Inc., a Florida based reseller of telecommunication services, to market local and long distance services on behalf of Norcom for commission basedcompensation.  In March 2002, Norcom was purchased by NUI Telecom, Inc. and, through a subsequent assignment agreement, Riverbend’s agreement with Norcom was converted into an agreement with Norcom Agency Services, Inc. (NAS), an entity whose shareholdershad been shareholders of Norcom.   Under the agreement with NAS, which utilizes the network services of NUI Telecom, Inc., Riverbend continues to receive commission based compensation, including commission compensation from those customers originallysolicited by Riverbend on behalf of Norcom.  This is currently the primary marketing agreement Riverbend has entered into and it accounted for approximately 84% of our revenues for the year ended December 31, 2003.  In the next twelve months, we mayenter into agreements with carriers or other resellers of telecommunication services, however we have not had any significant discussions with any carriers or other resellers.  In our efforts to identify potential carriers and resellers with whom we may enterinto future agreements, our management attends industry conferences at which carriers and resellers are present and offering their products.  Our long term strategy is to achieve continued growth and profitability by focusing our marketing efforts on residentialcustomers and small to medium sized businesses; by reducing our overall cost of delivering local and long distance telecommunications and prepaid calling card, data and internet services; by providing back office support for other resellers; and by developingadditional reseller and provider relationships and products to expand Riverbend’s target market and product mix while improving profit margin.  Riverbend also intends to develop

a network of independent sub-agents, which we believe is the most cost-effective method to acquire new customer accounts.

**           ***Acquisitions*

            There are numerous small to mid-size long distance agent companies operating throughout the United States.  Although Riverbend presently has nounderstanding, arrangement or agreement to make any acquisitions, Riverbend believes that many existing agents are willing to be acquired due to the lack of sufficient revenue vis-à-vis their current operating expenses.  Riverbend believes that it has theability to maximize the potential of these acquisitions through increased operating efficiency without significant increase in overhead by eliminating duplicate overhead and enhancing the use of agent tracking software.

**Operations**

****

            Since our inception, we have marketed retail telecommunication services offered by Norcom, and subsequent to its sale, NAS, to small and medium-sizedbusinesses and residences primarily in the State of Louisiana and the surrounding regions.  Riverbend functions as an independent sales agent, offering the products and services of the reseller or carrier to our customers on a retail basis.  We currentlyoffer local and long distance telephone services and prepaid calling cards, but may expand our offerings to include data and internet services in the near future.  By focusing our marketing efforts in a small geographic region, we strive to provide our customerswith more personalized service and more frequent customer contact, which we hope will translate into increased customer satisfaction and greater customer longevity.  Furthermore, we intend that our concentrated customer base will satisfy voids in certaintelecommunication resellers’ or carriers’ networks, making such resellers or carriers more likely to engage the services of Riverbend in their effort to diversify their customer base and expand their service offerings to underserved markets.

            We do not own or operate any telecommunication networks or provide any telecommunication services under our own private label.  We anticipate that underthe majority of our arrangements with telecommunication resellers and carriers, we will receive a commission based on the usage generated by each customer whom we are responsible for providing to the reseller or carrier.  Riverbend will not be responsible fortransporting, billing or collecting for the usage associated with each customer.  Rather, we will target and solicit customers on behalf of the reseller or carrier and provide the customer information to the reseller or carrier.  Each individual reseller orcarrier will then be responsible for transporting the minutes of usage and billing and collecting for such usage.  We intend that under the majority of our contracts with telecommunication resellers and carriers, the reseller or carrier will be contractuallyobligated to pay commissions to us on a monthly basis for as long as each customer remains on the resellers’ or carriers’ service, or in certain instances, for as long as the customers solicited by us maintain a specified volume or revenue with thespecific reseller or carrier.

            Riverbend’s management has a cumulative twenty years of experience in the telecommunications industry and we intend to leverage this experience in aneffort to identify and negotiate marketing agreements with resellers and carriers that are favorable to us in terms of commission payments and equity participation rights.  We believe that our management has developed past relationships with the managementpersonnel at many of the telecommunication

- 4 -

----

resellers and carriers with whom we will seek to enter into agreements and that such relationships will provide us with a competitive advantage over our competitors.  We believe that the quality and experience of ourcurrent management team are critical factors in the implementation of our growth strategy and our ability to attract additional management personnel as we expand.

**Industry Background**

            According to Federal Communication Commission (FCC) reports, the market for telecommunications services has grown rapidly in the United States.  Theoverall telecommunications market presently consists of $366 billion dollars in revenues divided amongst the following markets:
|         | •        | $121 billion local service market;    |
|--------------------------------------------|--------------------------------------------------|---------------------------------------|
|         | •        | $108 billion long distance market;    |
|         | •        | $50 billion equipment market;         |
|         | •        | $62 billion wireless/paging market;   |
|         | •        | $15 billion information services; and |
|         | •        | $10 billion cable TV market.          |

            Allegedly to combat “slamming,” the unauthorized conversion of a customer’s preselected telecommunication carrier, many local exchangecarriers have initiated “PIC freeze” programs that, once selected by the customer, require a customer seeking to change long distance or local carriers to contact the local carrier directly instead of having the new carrier contact the local carrier onthe customer’s behalf.  Many local carriers have imposed burdensome requirements on customers seeking to lift PIC freezes and change carriers, and thereby may make it difficult for customers to switch to telecommunications services marketed byRiverbend.  Such activities could have an adverse effect on Riverbend.

            The entry of the Bell operating companies into the long distance market may further heighten competition.  Under the Telecommunications Act of 1996, theBell operating companies were authorized to provide long distance service that originates outside their traditional service areas, and may gain authority to provide long distance service that originates within their region after satisfying certain market openingconditions.  Bell operating company entry into the long distance market means new competition from well-capitalized, well-known companies that have the capacity to “bundle” other services, such as local and wireless telephone services, internetaccess and cable television, with long distance telephone services.  While the Telecommunications Act includes certain safeguards against anti-competitive conduct by the Bell operating companies, it is impossible to predict whether such safeguards will beadequate or what effect such conduct would have on us.  Because of the Bell operating companies’ name recognition in their existing markets, the established relationships that they have with their existing local service customers, and their ability to takeadvantage of those relationships, as well as the possibility of interpretations of the Telecommunications Act favorable to the Bell operating companies, it may be more difficult for other providers of long distance and local telecommunication services tocompete.

#### **Market Opportunity**

            Our strategy is to focus on selected markets where limited competition exists, and where there is a significant concentration of potential high volumetelecommunication customers.  We currently target small and medium-sized businesses and residences in and around the State of Louisiana.  We believe that in recent years the major interexchange companies have focused their efforts on larger markets, leavingour target markets with limited service alternatives.  As a result, we believe there is a market demand for alternative service providers as businesses and residential customers seek competitive pricing, flexible and responsible local service, greaterreliability and security.  We believe that we have positioned ourself to effectively market the telecommunication services of various resellers and carriers to customers in these target markets.

            Furthermore, we believe that a local focus provides a competitive advantage in customer acquisition and retention.  It is our goal to establish highcustomer visibility within each of our markets through a network of independent sub-agents who will provide direct and personal customer contact and service (See “Independent Sub-Agents”).  As described above, our current market consists of small andmedium-sized businesses and residential customers, primarily in the State of Louisiana.  Our target business customers average between $300.00 and $500.00 in telecommunication service per month.  Our target residential customers average between $30.00 and$50.00 in telecommunication service per month.  While our customers are currently located primarily in Louisiana, we anticipate that through a growing network of independent sub-agents, we will be able to expand our market to include small and medium-sizedbusinesses and residences throughout the United States.

#### **Major Contract**

            In August 2001, we entered into a non-exclusive marketing agreement with Norcom, a Florida based reseller of telecommunication services.  Pursuant to theagreement, we were entitled to market long distance telephone services on Norcom’s behalf to commercial and residential customers on an agency basis. As described above under the “General Strategy,” in March 2002, Norcom was purchased by NUITelecom, Inc. and, through a subsequent assignment agreement, Riverbend’s agreement with Norcom was converted into a non-exclusive agreement with NAS, an entity whose shareholders had been shareholders of Norcom.  Riverbend is one of many companies withwhom NAS enters into marketing relationships.  Under the agreement with NAS, which utilizes the network services of NUI Telecom, Riverbend is paid monthly sales commissions based on percentages of revenues generated by those customers provided to NAS, andpreviously provided to Norcom, through Riverbend’s marketing efforts.  The sales commission percentages vary and depend on the prices of the telecommunication services provided by NAS.  Additionally, the NAS agreement provides that Riverbend shallreceive a one-time bonus commission based upon a multiple of 2 times the September 2003 usage revenue of customers that Riverbend solicited on behalf of NAS.  As of December 31, 2003, Riverbend had recorded $17,217 in bonus commission revenue.

            NAS is responsible for all credit checks, bad debt, collection costs and billing costs.  Our commissions are paid on billed revenues regardless of whetherend-users pay their invoices to NAS.  Consequently, we suffer no charge backs or usage on accounts that are delinquent in payment or written off as bad debt. However, any commissions paid on delinquent accounts that are not eventually collected will, at thediscretion of NAS, be subject to deduction against future

----

commission payments.  Our agreement with NAS is through August 2005, although it can be terminated by NAS upon thirty (30) days notice.  If the agreement is terminated by NAS for reasons other than a material breechby Riverbend, we would be entitled to residual commissions that survive the termination of the agreement provided that the monthly commissionable revenue level, which consists of revenues billed by NUI Telecom to customers solicited by Riverbend on behalf of NAS,remains greater than $500.

            Pursuant to our agreement with NAS, we may engage sub-agents to solicit customers for NAS on our behalf.  We may pay sub-agents a commission based upon aportion of the commission revenue we receive each month from NAS.  Commissions paid to individual sub-agents may vary depending upon the amount of work Riverbend is required to perform for any particular sub-agent (which may include accounting services andcustomer tracking and monitoring) and the customer base the sub-agent is able to provide to Riverbend.  Currently Riverbend has engaged five sub-agents to solicit customers for NAS on our behalf.

**           **In an effort to enter contractual relationships with carriers and resellers of telecommunication services,****management of Riverbend attends various industry conferences and meetings at which carriers and resellers are present and offering their products.  At such functions, we meet with various carriers and resellers and determine whocurrently has the best and most favorable telecommunication offerings in a specific geographic region.  Once we identify a specific carrier or reseller, we hope to proceed with negotiating a marketing relationship and contract, which will provide us withcommission based compensation for marketing the telecommunication services provided by the carrier or reseller.

**           ** As described above, for the year ended December 31, 2003, we received 88% of our commission revenues and 84% of our overall revenues fromone telecommunication reseller, NAS.  For the year ended December 31, 2003, we received $50,434 in commission revenue, including $17,217 in bonus commission revenue, from NAS.  Of this amount, we incurred commission expenses in the amount of $31,454,including $10,961 in commission expense payable to one sub-agent and attributable to the $17,217 bonus commission described above.  In the future, we will attempt to enter into sub-agent relationships that provide for a more favorable commission structure toRiverbend.  Additionally, we will seek to enter into additional agreements with other resellers and/or carriers, to market their services as well.

## **Products and Services**

            We intend to market a variety of telecommunication products on behalf of resellers or carriers.  With respect to NAS, we currently offer long distancetelephone services.** ** We also offer prepaid calling cards and are capable of offering various data and internet services to our customers, but have chosen to initially concentrate the majority of our efforts on marketing long distance services.  Wetarget customers with long distance phone bills ranging between $20.00 and $700.00 per month, although we have several large customers with bills over $1,000.00 per month.  We believe that the products we currently offer provide for favorable rates and servicesto our customers and will allow us to remain competitive within the industry.  Furthermore, we believe that our targeted customer base, consisting of small and medium-sized businesses and residential customers, is a market traditionally underserved by mosttelecommunication carriers and resellers.  We believe that these types of customers are more likely to be receptive to the personal attention and service offered by us.

**Independent Sub-Agents**

****

            We currently engage five sub-agents to market the services that we offer on behalf of various resellers and carriers.  It is our intent thatour sub-agents will have pre-existing relationships with our customers, who may be friends, family members or business associates.  We anticipate that such sub-agents will interact with our customers socially or otherwise and that such interaction will helppromote a relationship that will maintain customer loyalty to the sub-agent and to Riverbend.  It is our goal that each sub-agent will have a defined territory, with a defined customer list comprised of prospective customers.  Sub-agents evaluate whichproducts and services should be offered to the customer and illustrate to the customer the potential savings that the customer may realize.  Sub-agents are compensated on a commission basis calculated based on a percentage of the commissions we receive from thereseller or carrier pursuant to our marketing agreements.  Commissions paid to individual sub-agents may vary depending upon the amount of work we are required to perform for any particular sub-agent (which may include accounting services and customer trackingand monitoring) and the customer base the sub-agent provides to Riverbend.  We currently have verbal agreements with four (4) sub-agents to solicit customers on our behalf. In addition, we have a written agreement with one additional sub-agent that provides forthe sub-agent to receive 85% of the monthly and one-time bonus commission revenue that Riverbend earns from NAS that is attributable to customers solicited by the sub-agent.

            The market for sub-agents is competitive.  However, we believe that wewillcontinue to be able to attract and retain qualified sub-agents by offering them the opportunity to:
|         | •        | participate in our stock option plan;                                                                        |
|--------------------------------------------|--------------------------------------------------|--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
|         | •        | work with an experienced and proven management team  in building a developing, entrepreneurial company; |
|         | •        | participate in an attractive, results-oriented compensation package; and                                     |
|         | •        | market competitive products and services.                                                                    |

**Customers**

            We identify potential customers through personal and business relationships, referrals and direct solicitation.  Any individual or businesswho has a need for telecommunication services is a potential customer and we believe can benefit from our competitive service offerings.  Once a customer has consented to using a service offered by us, we require the customer to complete an application forservice which sets forth the customer’s specific information and identifies the rates and terms of service that are being offered to the customer.  We then send a service order to the telecommunication reseller or carrier whose service we have marketed tothe customer.  The reseller or carrier is then responsible for providing the service, billing for the service, collecting payments and for all customer service functions.  It is anticipated that when a customer has a problem with the contracted service, thecustomer will contact the reseller or carrier directly.  However, because we believe that customer service has become a critical element in attracting and retaining customers in the telecommunication industry, we will seek to differentiate and market ourselvesthrough our commitment to helping our customers receive customer service from their designated reseller or carrier.  To achieve this

- 8 -

----

goal, our independent sub-agents will attempt to help our customers obtain the desired level of customer service through the reseller or carrier who provides their telecommunication service.

### **Competition**

            The telecommunications industry in the United States is highly competitive, rapidly evolving, and significantly influenced by the marketing andpricing decisions of the larger industry participants.  Major participants in the industry regularly introduce new services and marketing activities.  Competition is based upon pricing, customer service, billing services and perceived quality.  Wecompete with numerous telecommunication companies that offer essentially the same services as the resellers and carriers we intend to represent.  Several of our competitors are substantially larger and have greater financial, technical and marketing resourcesthan we do.  Our success will depend upon our continued ability to enter into favorable agreements that provide for high quality, high value services at prices generally competitive with, or lower than, those charged by our competitors.

            The major carriers have targeted price plans at residential customers with significantly simplified rate structures and with bundles of wirelessservices and local services with long distance, which may lower overall local and long distance prices.  Competition is fierce for the small to medium-sized businesses that we also serve.  Additional pricing pressure may come from the introduction of newtechnologies, such as internet telephony, which seek to provide voice communications at a cost below that of traditional circuit-switched long distance service.  Reductions in prices charged by our competitors may have a material adverse effect on us. Furthermore, consolidations and alliances across geographic regions and in the local and long distance market across industry segments may intensify competition from significantly larger, well-capitalized companies.

            Management recognizes that the telecommunications industry is comprised of hundreds of telecommunications carriers.  However, we believethat many of these carriers do not have the financial resources available to hire and train an in-house sales force.  Instead, many such companies rely either wholly or partially on independent sales agents, such as Riverbend, to market the carrier’sproducts and services.  We believe that many carriers compete for the services of independent sales agents and that such competition will ultimately result in increased commissions payable to companies such as Riverbend.  Furthermore, we hope that suchcompetition among carriers will result in additional benefits to independent sales agents, such as cash bonuses and equity participation rights.

            Our primary competitors are other independent sales agents, such as Spring Valley Marketing and Amercom; resellers of telecommunication services, such asEnhanced Communications Group and American Phone Services; and the in-house sales staffs of major telecommunications carriers, such as MCI and Sprint.  The majority of in-house sales staffs of major carriers are better financed than Riverbend and are often ableto offer telecommunication services at a lower rate.  Furthermore, we are aware of blocks of potential customers who have created buying consortiums, which, if successful, may present a source of direct competition.

### **Telecommunications Industry Regulation**

*General*

            While Riverbend’s marketing of telecommunication services is not subject to governmental regulation, the resellers and carriers with whom Riverbendcontracts are subject to the various governmental regulations affecting the industry.  The FCC regulates interstate and international telecommunications, while the state commissions regulate telecommunications that originate and terminate within the samestate.

            The FCC and some states have rules that prohibit switching a customer from one carrier to another without the customer’s express consent and specify howthat consent must be obtained and verified.  Most states also have consumer protection laws that further define the framework within which our marketing activities must be conducted.  While directed at curbing abusive marketing practices, unless these rulesare carefully designed and enforced, they can have the incidental effect of entrenching incumbent carriers and hindering the growth of new competitors, such as Riverbend.

*Federal Regulation*

            Riverbend’s marketing efforts may be carried out through a variety of direct marketing programs, including inbound and outbound telemarketing, directmail and agent sales.  Restrictions on the marketing of telecommunication services are becoming stricter in the wake of widespread consumer complaints throughout the industry about “slamming” (the unauthorized conversion of a customer’spre-selected telecommunication carrier) and “cramming” (the unauthorized provision of additional telecommunication services).  The Telecommunications Act strengthened penalties against slamming, and the FCC issued and updated rules tightening federalrequirements of the verification of orders for telecommunication services and establishing additional financial penalties for slamming.  In addition, many states have been active in restricting marketing through new legislation and regulation such as “DoNot Call” lists, as well as through enhanced enforcement activities.  The constraints of federal and state regulation, as well as increased FCC, Federal Trade Commission and state enforcement attention, could limit the scope and the success ofRiverbend’s marketing efforts and subject us to enforcement action which may have an adverse effect on Riverbend.

            Statutes and regulations designed to protect consumer privacy also may have the incidental effect of hindering the growth of newer telecommunication companiessuch as Riverbend.  For example, the FCC rules that restrict the use of “customer proprietary network information” (information that a carrier obtains about its customers through their use of the carrier’s services) may make it more difficultfor us to market additional telecommunication services to our existing customers.

            As a marketer of telecommunication services, Riverbend is not subject to the reporting requirements of the FCC or the state agencies, but the resellers andcarriers with whom we contract and intend to contract may be subject to such regulations.  The FCC imposes reporting, accounting, record-keeping and other regulatory obligations on resellers and carriers.   Resellers and carriers must offer interstateservice under rates, terms and conditions that are just, reasonable and not unreasonably discriminatory.  Resellers and carriers must file tariffs listing

- 10 -

----

the rates, terms and conditions of the resellers’ or carriers’ service.  Although a resellers’ or carriers’ FCC tariffs, and the rates and charges they specify, are subject to review, they arepresumed to be lawful and have never been formally contested by customers or other consumers. A reseller or carrier may be subject to forfeitures and other penalties if it violates the FCC’s rules.

            Additionally, the Telecommunications Act provides for a significant deregulation of the domestic telecommunication industry, including the long distanceindustry.  The Telecommunications Act remains subject to judicial review and additional FCC rulemaking, and thus it is difficult to predict what effect the legislation will have on the industry.  There are currently many regulatory actions underway andbeing contemplated by federal and state authorities regarding interconnection pricing and other issues that could result in significant changes to the business conditions in the telecommunication industry.

            The Telecommunications Act also set up a framework by which Bell operating companies could begin providing long distance services to their customers in areaswhere they provide local telecommunication services.  These actions are likely to increase competition within the affected states.

*State Regulation*

            The vast majority of the states require resellers and carriers to apply for certification to provide local and interstate telecommunication services, or atleast to register or to be found exempt from regulation, before commencing intrastate service.  The majority of states also require resellers and carriers to file and maintain detailed tariffs listing their rates for intrastate service.  Many states alsoimpose various reporting requirements and/or require approval for transfers of control of certified carriers; corporate reorganizations; acquisitions of telecommunication operations; assignments of carrier assets, including subscriber bases; carrier stock offeringsand incurrence by carriers of significant debt obligations.  Certificates of authority can generally be conditioned, modified, canceled, terminated or revoked by state regulatory authorities for failure to comply with state law and the rules, regulations andpolicies of the state regulatory authorities.  Fines and other penalties, including the return of all monies received for intrastate traffic from residents of a state, may be imposed for such violations.  State regulatory authorities may also placeburdensome requirements on telecommunication companies seeking transfers of control for licenses and the like.

## **Employees**

            We currently have two employees, Leon Nowalsky and Dr. Roy Greenberg, Riverbend’s executive officers and directors.  Messrs. Nowalsky and Greenbergdevote approximately 20% of their time to the business of Riverbend, but are available to devote additional time to our operations if such time is required.  We may hire additional employees in the future.  Messrs. Nowalsky and Greenberg oversee theoperations and have agreed to refrain from taking any salary until Riverbend commences generating sufficient cash flow to handle our anticipated expansion plans.  A majority of our selling activities are conducted through a developing network of independentsub-agents who are not employees of Riverbend.  Such agents are paid on a commission basis.   As of April 7, 2004, we had verbal agreements with four (4) sub-agents and a written agreement with one (1) sub-agent to act on Riverbend’sbehalf.

#### **Risk Factors**

            An investment in our common stock is a risky investment.  The risks described below are not the only ones that we face.  Additional risks that arenot yet known to us or that we currently think are immaterial could also impair our business, operating results or financial condition.  Other information set forth in this report, including our financial statements and the related notes detail other riskseffecting our business.  If any of the following risks actually occur, our business, financial condition or results of operations could be materially adversely effected.

### ****

### **Risks Related To Our Business**

*We have a limited history of operations and therefore have limited financial information.*

            We began marketing telecommunications services in August 2001.  Substantially all of our revenue to date has been derived from our marketing of theservices offered by NAS/Norcom.  There is limited historical financial information upon which to evaluate how we may perform in the future.  We cannot be sure that we will be able to compete successfully in the telecommunications business.  As a youngcompany, we face numerous risks and uncertainties, including those that relate to our ability to:
|         | •        | establish and increase our customer base;                     |
|--------------------------------------------|--------------------------------------------------|---------------------------------------------------------------|
|         | •        | compete favorably in a highly competitive market;             |
|         | •        | expand our service offerings;                                 |
|         | •        | attract, motivate and retain qualified sub-agents;            |
|         | •        | access sufficient capital markets to support our growth;      |
|         | •        | build an infrastructure to effectively handle our growth; and |
|         | •        | upgrade and enhance our technologies.                         |

            We may not be successful in addressing these risks and our failure to do so would have a materially adverse effect on our business and financialresults.

*Our ability to generate revenues and achieve market acceptance is uncertain because our business is based on an untested business plan, which may not lead to profitability.*

            Our business is based on an untested business plan.  Our failure to complete our development and to market our services and products successfully couldsignificantly affect our ability to succeed.  If we cannot achieve profitability from our operating activities, we may not be able to meet our:
|         | •        | capital expenditure requirements; |
|--------------------------------------------|--------------------------------------------------|-----------------------------------|
|         | •        | debt service obligations; or      |
|         | •        | working capital needs.            |

            Our profitability will depend primarily upon our ability to earn commissions from the marketing of telecommunications services offered by resellers andcarriers.

- 12 -

----

*Our future growth may require significant capital and if we do not obtain needed financing, our ability to implement our business strategy could be impaired.*

            Implementation of our business plan may require additional amounts of capital.  We cannot be certain that additional financing will be available to us onacceptable terms when required or at all.  If we do not obtain needed financing, our ability to implement our business strategy could be impaired.

*Future growth may be difficult to manage.*

            Our strategy includes acting as a marketer for other resellers of local and long distance telephone services.  We hope to experience future growth beyondthe developmental stage, which may place additional demands upon our current management and other resources and may require additional working capital, information systems, and management, operational, and other financial resources.  The growth of Riverbend willdepend on various factors, including, among others:
|         | •        | the ability of management to implement our strategy;                                                           |
|--------------------------------------------|--------------------------------------------------|----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
|         | •        | competition;                                                                                                   |
|         | •        | the ability of the resellers with whom we contract to handle our growth in the amount of services we sell; and |
|         | •        | the ability to implement reliable finance and management systems and controls.                                 |

            Not all of the foregoing factors are within our control.  Riverbend’s ability to manage growth successfully will require Riverbend to continuallyenhance its operational, management, financial, and information systems and controls.  We may not be able to manage or fund our growth, we may miss profitable opportunities and/or inefficiently allocate our resources which will effect our business, operatingresults, and financial condition.

*Our business could be materially harmed if we do not keep pace with technological changes.*

            The telecommunications industry is subject to rapid and significant changes in technology, customer requirements and customer preferences.  We may not beable to keep pace with technological change.  If we fail to keep pace with these changes, our ability to attract new customers may be impeded and we may lose existing customers.  New technologies could reduce the competitiveness of our services by reducingthe cost or increasing the supply of services that compete with those we plan to offer.

*We currently are dependent on our relationship with NAS to provide us with telecommunication services to market.*

            In March 2002, through an assignment agreement, Riverbend entered into an agreement with NAS to provide NAS with marketing services.  NAS is a reseller oftelecommunications service, and accordingly we are dependent on NAS’ relationships with telecommunication carriers to provide us with services to market.  At this time, we do not have agreements with any other resellers.  Our marketing agreement withNAS is through August 2005 and may be terminated by NAS on thirty (30) days notice.  We cannot assure you that NAS will not terminate the agreement or that we will be able to enter into agreements with any other resellers.  Furthermore, if NAS experiencesfinancial

- 13 -

----

difficulties, such difficulties may result in delays in our receipt of commissions due under our contract.  As described above, NAS could terminate our contract and cease all commission payments.  If this were tooccur, it would have a materially adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operation.

*Our continued success will be dependent on our ability to retain and attract experienced and knowledgeable personnel.*

            Riverbend believes that its continued success will depend to a significant extent upon the abilities and efforts of its current management.  Riverbenddoes not have employment agreements and does not maintain key man life insurance on either of its current management.  The loss of the services of either of our current management, particularly Mr. Nowalsky, our President and Treasurer, would hinder our abilityto conduct our operations.

            Additionally, Riverbend may hire additional management with experience in our industry.  If we choose to hire additional management, we believe oursuccess will depend, in part, upon our ability to find, hire and retain such additional management personnel.  The inability to find, hire and retain such personnel could affect our ability to effectively compete, adjust and predict changes in ourindustry.

*We believe that our long-term success will depend on our ability to offer additional services.*

            Riverbend currently offers long distance telephone services and prepaid calling cards to its customers.  However, our strategy includes offeringadditional telecommunication services in the future, such as data and internet services.  The ability of Riverbend to offer these additional services will be limited by our ability to enter into agreements with resellers of such services.  Because we arecurrently only a marketer for NAS’ services, until we establish relationships with other resellers, we are limited by NAS’ ability or desire to offer additional services.  Additionally, the entry into new markets entails risks associated with thestate of development of the market, intense competition from companies that may have greater financial resources and experience than Riverbend, and increased selling and marketing expenses.  There can be no assurance that we will be able to offer these servicesor that any services that we are able to offer will receive market acceptance in a timely manner, or at all, or that prices and demand in new markets will be at a level sufficient to provide profitable operations.

*We are dependent on third parties for our operations.*

            We are dependent upon third parties to:
|         | •        | provide long distance telephone service to our customers; |
|--------------------------------------------|--------------------------------------------------|-----------------------------------------------------------|
|         | •        | perform customer service functions; and                   |
|         | •        | collect billing information and bill customers.           |

            Riverbend is only a marketer of resale telecommunications services and does not provide any of the above described services directly.  However, ourcommission payments may be dependent on the timely and satisfactory performance by resellers or carriers of such services.  If a reseller or carrier does not provide a customer with adequate service, such customer may terminate its use of the service andRiverbend would no longer receive any commission with

- 14 -

----

regard to that customer.  Any significant reduction in commissions received by Riverbend would have an adverse affect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

*We use independent sub-agents to recruit our customers, and such sub-agents are less likely than traditional employees to remain with our company.*

            Riverbend uses independent sub-agents and its relationship with other resellers to sell its services.  We believe that significant turnover amongindependent sub-agents from year to year is typical of direct selling.  Activities of the sub-agents in obtaining new customers are particularly impacted by changes in the level of sub-agent motivation, which in turn can be positively or negatively affected bygeneral economic conditions, modifications in the commission and training fees and in our marketing plan, and a number of intangible factors.  Our ability to attract sub-agents could be negatively affected by adverse publicity relating to Riverbend, its servicesor its operations.  Because of the number of factors that impact recruiting of sub-agents, we cannot predict when or to what extent such increases or decreases in the level of our sub-agent retention will occur.  In addition, the number of sub-agents as apercentage of the population may reach levels that become difficult to exceed due to the finite number of persons inclined to pursue an independent direct selling business opportunity.

*Because our sales force is made up of independent sub-agents, we have less control over the actions of our sales force.*

            Because our sub-agents are classified as independent contractors, and not as employees of Riverbend, we are unable to provide them with the same level ofdirection and oversight as an employee.  While we expect to implement policies and rules governing the conduct of our sub-agents and intend to periodically review the sales tactics of our sub-agents, it will be difficult to enforce such policies and rules. Violations of these policies and rules may reflect negatively on Riverbend.  Long distance carriers have been subject to complaints before the FCC and state public utility commissions regarding the unauthorized switching of subscribers’ long distancecarriers (also known in the industry as “slamming”).

*There is no market for our common stock and none may develop in the future.*

            There is no market for our common stock, which has been sold only in private transactions, under exemptions to registration under federal and state securitieslaws.  No stockholder should expect that a public market will develop in our common stock.  Our potential to develop a market for our common stock depends on our business success, as well as upon general market perceptions regarding our business model,which cannot be accurately predicted.

*A limited number of stockholders have substantial control over us and could prevent stockholders from effecting corporate changes.*

            Our directors and officers, in the aggregate, beneficially own 97.7% of our outstanding common stock.  These stockholders are able to significantlyinfluence all matters requiring approval by our stockholders, including:
|         | •        | the election of directors;                              |
|--------------------------------------------|--------------------------------------------------|---------------------------------------------------------|
|         | •        | exercise of control over our business and policies; and |

- 15 -

----

|         | •        | the approval of mergers or other business combination transactions. |
|--------------------------------------------|--------------------------------------------------|---------------------------------------------------------------------|

*We do not intend to pay dividends.*

            We have never declared or paid cash dividends on our common stock.  For the foreseeable future, we intend to retain any earnings to finance thedevelopment and expansion of our business, and we do not anticipate paying any cash dividends on our common stock in the future.  Payment of any future dividends on our common stock will depend upon our earnings and capital requirements, the terms of our debtfacilities and other factors that our board of directors considers appropriate.

## **Risks Related To Our Industry**

*We face significant competition that may adversely affect our ability to attract and retain customers and maintain our expected pricing structure.*

            The United States telecommunication industry is highly competitive and significantly influenced by the marketing and pricing decisions of the larger industryparticipants.  We expect to compete for customers with a number of well-established providers, as well as many other providers with less significant market share.  Many of our competitors:
|         | •        | are significantly larger than us;                                        |
|--------------------------------------------|--------------------------------------------------|--------------------------------------------------------------------------|
|         | •        | have substantially greater financial, technical and marketing resources; |
|         | •        | offer a broader portfolio of services than we do;                        |
|         | •        | have long-standing relationships with many of our target customers; and  |
|         | •        | have greater name recognition and brand loyalty.                         |

            In this competitive environment, our competitors may reduce rates or offer incentives to our existing and potential customers.  For example, severaldomestic long distance carriers have introduced pricing strategies, which provide for fixed, low rates for calls.  We believe that to maintain our competitive position, we must be able to reduce our prices to meet reductions in rates by others, and cannotpredict to what extent we may need to reduce our prices or whether we will be able to sustain future pricing levels if any of our competitors introduce competing services at lower prices.  As a result, we cannot predict whether demand for any services we offerwill exist at prices that enable us to continue to attract and retain customers or achieve profitability or positive cash flow.

*We may be subject to federal, state and local regulation that could be changed to our detriment.*

            The Telecommunications Act provides for significant deregulation of the telecommunications industry.  This statute and the related regulations remainsubject to judicial review and additional rulemaking by the FCC, making it difficult to predict what effect the legislation will ultimately have on us.  Because we only act as a marketer of services offered by resellers, we do not believe that our activities aregoverned by the Act or require any federal or state regulatory approvals.

- 16 -

----

*A high level of customer attrition is characteristic of our industry.*

            A high level of subscriber attrition is a characteristic of the domestic residential long distance industry.  Attrition is attributable to a variety offactors, including the termination of customers for non-payment and the initiatives of existing and new competitors as they engage in, among other things, national advertising campaigns, telemarketing programs and the issuance of cash or other forms ofincentives.  Although we believe that our customer retention strategy, which emphasizes personalized service will be successful, our strategy may prove unsuccessful.  Because our revenue is based on recurring fees received from our customers, a high levelof attrition could affect our results of operations by increasing costs associated with the acquisition of new customers and affecting our ability to achieve positive cash flow.

**Executive Summary**

            Riverbend is currently a developmental stage company.  Since inception, we have had no significant revenues from planned operations and have marketed on alimited basis telecommunication services for one primary reseller of long distance telephone services.  In August 2001, Riverbend entered into a non-exclusive marketing agreement with Norcom, Inc., a Florida based reseller of telecommunication services, tomarket long distance telephone services on behalf of Norcom for commission based compensation.  In March 2002, Norcom was purchased by NUI Telecom, Inc. and, through an assignment agreement, our agreement with Norcom was converted into a non-exclusive agreementwith Norcom Agency Services, Inc. (NAS), an entity whose shareholders had been shareholders of Norcom.  Riverbendis one of many companies with whom NAS enters into marketing relationships.  Under the agreement with NAS, which utilizesthe network services of NUI Telecom, Inc., Riverbend is paid sales commissions on a monthly basis equal to 10% of all revenues generated by those customers

- 20 -

----

provided to NAS, and previously provided to Norcom, through Riverbend’s marketing efforts.  Additionally, the NAS agreement provides that Riverbend shall receive a one-time bonus commission based upon a multiple oftwo times the September 2003 usage revenue of customers that we solicited on behalf of NAS.  As of December 31, 2003, we recorded $17,217 in bonus commission revenue.

            NAS is responsible for all credit checks, bad debt, collection costs and billing costs.  Our commissions are paid on billed revenues regardless of whetherend-users pay their invoices to NAS. Consequently, we suffer no charge backs or usage on accounts that are delinquent in payment or written off as bad debt. However, any commissions paid on delinquent accounts that are not eventually collected will, at the discretionof NAS, be subject to deduction against future commission payments.  Our agreement with NAS is through August 2005 although it can be terminated by NAS upon thirty (30) days notice.  If the agreement is terminated by NAS for reasons other than a materialbreach by Riverbend, we are entitled to residual commissions that survive the termination of the agreement provided that the monthly commissionable revenue level, which consists of revenues billed by NUI Telecom, Inc. to customers solicited by Riverbend on behalf ofNAS, remains greater than $500.

            The NAS agreement is currently the primary marketing agreement Riverbend has entered into and accounted for approximately 84% of our revenues for the yearended December 31, 2003.  In the next twelve months, we may enter into agreements with other resellers of telecommunication services, however we have not had any significant discussions with any other resellers.  In our efforts to identify potentialresellers with whom we may enter into future agreements, our management attends industry conferences at which resellers are present and offering their products.  Our long term strategy is to achieve continued growth and profitability by focusing our marketingefforts on residential customers and small to medium sized businesses; by reducing our overall cost of delivering local and long distance telecommunications and prepaid calling card, data and internet services; by providing back office support for other resellers;and by developing additional reseller and provider relationships and products to expand Riverbend’s target market and product mix while improving profit margin.  Riverbend is also developing a network of independent sub-agents, which we believe is the mostcost-effective method to acquire new customer accounts.

****

            As an independent sales agent, we are not responsible for transporting, billing and collecting for the usage associated with each customer.  We providethe customer specific information to the carrier or reseller who then handles all of these functions.  We intend that under the majority of our contracts, the carrier or reseller will be contractually obligated to pay Riverbend commissions on a monthly basis foras long as each customer remains on the carrier’s or reseller’s service or in some instances, for as long as the customers solicited by Riverbend maintain a specified volume or revenue.

            Pursuant to our agreement with NAS, we engage sub-agents to solicit customers for NAS on our behalf.  Such sub-agents are paid a commission based upon aportion of the commission revenue we receive each month from NAS.  Commissions paid to individual sub-agents vary depending upon the amount of work Riverbend is required to perform for any particular sub-agent (which may include accounting services and customertracking and monitoring) and the customerbase the sub-agent is able to provide to Riverbend.

- 21 -

----

            In August 2001, we entered into a verbal agreement with an individual sub-agent to provide customers on Riverbend’s behalf to Norcom, and subsequentlyNAS.  We pay the sub-agent the commission revenue that we receive each month from NAS that is attributable to customers the sub-agent has provided, less $500, which we retain.  In 2002, we entered into verbal agreements with an additional three (3)sub-agents to provide customers, on our behalf, to NAS.  Pursuant to the verbal agreements with these sub-agents, a portion of the commissions that are received by us from NAS attributable to customers they have provided are paid to the sub-agents.  Inaddition, we entered into a written sub-agent agreement in April 2002 to provide customers on Riverbend’s behalf to NAS.  We pay the sub-agent the commission revenue that we receive each month from NAS attributable to customers the sub-agent has provided,less fifteen percent (15%), which we retain.  Also, pursuant to the agreement, the sub-agent is entitled to a portion of the $17,217 bonus commission received from NAS.  Accordingly, we have recorded $10,961 in commission expense related to this bonuscommission.  For the years ended December 31, 2003 and December 31, 2002, we incurred a total of $31,454, including $10,961 in bonus commission expense, and $42,034, respectively, in commission expense under all of our sub-agent agreements.

            In addition, in connection with our formation, Leon Nowalsky, our president, treasurer, director and majority stockholder, assigned to Riverbend the currentand future rights to receive real estate commissions in connection with a November 5, 1991 lease agreement for real property located in Texas.  Mr. Nowalsky acquired the rights in August 2001 by paying $17,000 to a real estate broker who was entitled toreceive as lease commissions 3% of the base monthly rental payable monthly over the primary term of the lease, which is through May 2, 2012, and any extensions thereof.  In addition, Mr. Nowalsky assigned to Riverbend the rights to receive a commission onthe sale of the property by the lessor to the lessee during the primary term of the lease.  Detailed information concerning the real estate commissions is set forth in Note 2 to the financial statements included in this report.  While such commissionrevenues are not an integral part of our business plan, the commission payments provide us with additional revenue to help pay our operating costs.  In addition, to facilitate cash flow, we received the assignment of certain commissions payable on the sale oftelecommunications products, totaling $6,600 for the year ended December 31, 2003 from a related party.

            Management does not anticipate that we will engage in any material product research and development because we intend to serve as a marketer oftelecommunication services and not a direct provider.  Management does not anticipate that we will purchase a plant or significant equipment and we do not anticipate hiring any additional employees because our business plan intends that we will utilize ourdeveloping network of independent sub-agents to market our products and services.

            As disclosed in our financial statements, subsequent to December 31, 2003, we entered into a non-binding term sheet providing for the acquisition ofUnited Check Services, LLC, a Louisiana limited liability company (“United”) through the issuance of 8,400,000 shares of our restricted common stock.  If this transaction is completed, the former members of United will own the majority of ouroutstanding shares.

#### **Results of Operations**

            In this section we provide more detailed information about our operating results and changes in financial position over the past two fiscal years.  Thissection should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and related notes included in this Form 10-KSB.

#### **Year ended December 31, 2003 compared to year ended December 31, 2002**

*Revenues*

            Riverbend’s revenue for the year ended December 31, 2003 was $60,214 as compared to $56,169 for the year ended December 31, 2002.  The$4,045 or 7.2% increase is mainly attributable to a one-time bonus commission based on a multiple of two times the September 2003 usage revenue of customers that Riverbend solicited on behalf of NAS.  Exclusive of the $17,217 one-time bonus commission, 2003revenues of $42,997 were $13,172 or 23.5% lower than 2002 revenues.  The decrease in revenues, exclusive of the one-time bonus commission, is attributable to NUI Telecom, Inc., the company that purchased Norcom in March 2002, deciding that commissions should notbe paid to Riverbend on house accounts and toll free numbers of Norcom.  Therefore, in 2003, Riverbend no longer received commissions on long distance calls made by Norcom employees and on the toll free calls made by Norcom customers. 

The following table presents the composition of revenue in 2003 and 2002:

*Cost of Revenue and Gross Profit*

            Riverbend’s cost of revenue for the year ended December 31, 2003 was $31,454 as compared to $43,216 for the year ended December 31, 2002. Included in 2003 cost of revenue is $10,961 in one-time bonus commission expense due to a sub-agent of Riverbend.  Exclusive of this one-time bonus commission, 2003 cost of revenue was $20,493, which is $22,723 or 52.6% lower than 2002 cost of revenue of$43,216.

----

            The significant decrease in cost of revenue, exclusive of the one-time bonus commission, is attributable to a reduction in commission revenue as describedabove.  Because Riverbend was earning less commission revenue, it was incurring less commission expense.

            The following table presents the composition of cost of revenue in 2003 and 2002:

            Riverbend’s gross profit for the year ended December 31, 2003 was $28,760 or 47.8% as compared to $12,953 or 23.1% for the year endingDecember 31, 2002.  The $15,807 or 24.7 percentage point increase in gross profit is attributable to several factors.  First, in 2003, the gross profit on the one-time commission bonus was $6,256.  Second, the 2003 gross profit on the relatedparty commissions was $5,925 higher than in 2002.  Third, four of Riverbend’s five sub-agents generated more commission revenues in 2003 than in 2002 and as a result more gross profit for Riverbend.  Fourth, the fifth sub-agent was responsible forgenerating the commission revenue earned by Riverbend on the Norcom house phones and toll free numbers described above.  Riverbend’s agreement with the sub-agent specifies that Riverbend would pay the sub-agent the commission revenue generated from theindividual’s sales and received by Riverbend from NAS/Norcom, less $500, which Riverbend retains.  Therefore, despite the reduced commission revenues attributable to this sub-agent, Riverbend still achieved a gross profit from this particular sub-agent of$500 per month or $6,000 per year, as it did in 2002.  Thus, the significant reduction in recurring commission revenues in 2003 did not have an adverse effect on Riverbend’s gross profit.

*General and Administrative*

            Riverbend’s general and administrative expenses for the year ended December 31, 2003 was $27,407 as compared to $23,514 for the year endedDecember 31, 2002.  The $3,893 or 16.6% increase is mainly attributable to increased accounting and auditing fees as a result of the Riverbend’s independent CPAs reviewing quarterly financial statements in three Form 10-QSBs filed in 2003 compared totwo in 2002 and auditing a full year of operations for 2002 and a short year of operations in 2001.  Because Riverbend is in the developmental stage, the majority of our operating expenses are related to our reporting obligations under the Exchange Act. These expenses are related to legal, accounting and professional services required to prepare our reports and the costs of filing the reports with the SEC.

----

*Provision for income taxes*

            Riverbend has a $1,311 net operating loss carryforward that expires in 2022.  However, we have no provision for a deferred tax asset since the realizationof the asset is dependent upon future earnings during the period that temporary differences and carryforwards are expected to be available.  Because of the uncertain nature of the deferred tax asset’s ultimate realization, a valuation allowance equal tothe deferred tax asset balance has been recorded.

#### **Liquidity and Capital Resources**

            At December 31, 2003, Riverbend had $36,080 in cash and a $27,746 working capital surplus as compared to $4,722 in cash and a $9,514 working capital deficit atDecember 31, 2002.  The increase in cash and working capital is mainly attributable to a $35,000 private placement of common stock in January 2003.

            We estimate that Riverbend can satisfy its cash requirements, which we estimate to be approximately $30,000, for the next twelve (12) months with cash on hand,through commission revenue from current and future customer accounts and, if necessary, capital contributions from the majority shareholder.  However, there are no assurances that any of these potential funding sources will be available.  If the overalloutcome of the various uncertainties affecting us as described in this report is not favorable, we may be forced to seek debt and/or equity financing on terms and conditions that may be unfavorable to us, if available at all.

#### **Critical Accounting Policies**

            Riverbend’s significant accounting policies are described in Note 1 to the financial statements included in Item 7 of this Form 10-KSB.  Managementbelieves the most critical accounting policies are as follows:

*Revenue Recognition*

            Commission revenue from local, long distance and internet services is recognized when earned, which is in the same period when telecommunication carriers andresellers earn revenues from customers provided by Riverbend.  Additionally, Riverbend recognizes revenues from the sale of prepaid calling cards at the time the cards are sold.  Provisions for discounts, returns, and other adjustments are provided for inthe same period the related revenues are recorded.

*Use of Estimates*

            The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to makeestimates 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.

            The above listing is not intended to be a comprehensive list of all of Riverbend’s accounting policies. In many cases, the accounting treatment of aparticular transaction is

specifically dictated by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, with no need for management's judgment in their application.  There are also areas in which management's judgment in selecting anyavailable alternative would not produce a materially different result.

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

            On October 27, 2003, Coulter & Justus, P.C. (“Coulter”) replaced Wegmann – Dazet & Company, APC (“Wegmann”) asRiverbend’s independent public accountants.  Our board of directors approved and ratified the change of accountants from Wegmann to Coulter.

            Wegmann, the principal accountant previously engaged to audit Riverbend’s financial statements, resigned as auditors on October 27, 2003. Wegmann’s reports on Riverbend’s financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2002, the period from August 21, 2001 (inception) to December 31, 2001 and for the period from August 21, 2001 (inception) through December 31,2002 did not contain an adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion, nor were they qualified as to audit scope or accounting principles.

            During the year ended December 31, 2002, the period from August 21, 2001 (inception) to December 31, 2001 and for the period fromAugust 21, 2001 (inception) through December 31, 2002, and the subsequent interim period through October 27, 2003, the date of resignation, there were no disagreements with Wegmann on any matter of accounting principle or practice, financial statementdisclosure, or auditing scope or procedure which, if not resolved to Wegmann’s satisfaction, would have caused them to make reference to the subject matter in connection with their reports on our financial statements; and there were no reportable events asdefined in Item 304(a)(1)(iv) of Regulation S-B.

----

            During the year ended December 31, 2002, the period from August 21, 2001 (inception) to December 31, 2001, and for the period fromAugust 21, 2001 (inception) through December 31, 2002, and the subsequent interim period through October 27, 2003, Riverbend did not consult Coulter with respect to the application of accounting principles to a specified transaction, either completedor proposed, or the type of audit opinion that might be rendered on Riverbend’s financial statements, or any other matters or reportable events as set forth in Items 304(a)(2)(i) and (ii) of Regulation S-B.

            Riverbend provided Wegmann with a copy of the foregoing disclosures and attached as Exhibit 16 to Riverbend’s Form 8-K filed October 30, 2003, is acopy of Wegmann's letter, dated October 29, 2003, stating their agreement with such statements.

#### **Item 8A.          CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES**

            (a)     Evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures

However, we mayadopt a plan of reasonable compensation for our directors, which may include grants of options under our stock option plan.  We intend to reimburse any of our non-employee directors, should we ever have any, for all direct expenses incurred by them in attendinga board of director meeting and any committee meeting on which they serve.

##### **Employment Agreements**

**Stock Option Plan**

The plan was approved by our stockholders in August 2001.  Unless sooner terminated, the plan will expire in August 2011.

            The plan is not intended to be the exclusive means by which we may issue options or warrants to acquire our common stock, stock awards or any other type ofaward.  To the extent permitted by applicable law, we may issue any other options, warrants or awards other than pursuant to the plan without stockholder approval.

            The plan is administered by the board of directors.  At its discretion, the board may determine the persons to whom options may be granted and the termsthereof.  The terms of any options granted under the plan are not required to be identical as long as they are not inconsistent with the express provisions of the plan.

Diluted earnings (loss) per share reflects thepotential dilution that could occur if options or awards to issue common stock were exercised or converted into common shares. Diluted earnings (loss) per common share are calculated by adjusting outstanding shares, assuming conversion of all potentially dilutivestock options and awards. There are no potentially dilutive stock options, awards or stock appreciation rights outstanding for the year ended December 31, 2003. |

|        | A valuation allowance is required for those deferred tax assets that are not likely to be realized.  Realization is dependent upon future earnings during the period that temporary differences and carry forwards areexpected to be available.  Because of the uncertain nature of their ultimate realization, a full valuation allowance is recorded against these deferred tax assets. The valuation allowance decreased by $202 in 2003 due to the decrease in deferred taxassets.  The valuation allowance increased by $1,594 in 2002 due to an increase in deferred tax assets for which realization was not probable.  The net operating loss carryforward of $1,311 was generated in 2002 and expires in 2022. |
