SPECTRE INDUSTRIES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
September 30, 2003 and December 31, 2002

NOTE 1 - BASIS OF FINANCIAL STATEMENT PRESENTATION

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared by the Company pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted in accordance with such rules and regulations. The information furnished in the interim consolidated financial statements include normal recurring adjustments and reflects all adjustments, which, in the opinion of management, are necessary for a fair presentation of such financial statements. Although management believes the disclosures and information presented are adequate to make the information not misleading, it is suggested that these interim consolidated financial statements be read in conjunction with the Company's most recent audited financial statements and notes thereto included in its December 31, 2002 Annual Report on Form 10-KSB. Operating results for the nine months ended September 30, 2003 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2003.

NOTE 2 - RECLASSIFICATIONS

Certain reclassifications have been made to the September 30, 2003 financial statements to conform to the current quarter's presentation.

NOTE 3 - SEGMENT REPORTING

At September 30, 2003, the Company had one reportable segment: photographic services performed in photo kiosks. The Company's other previous segment of automotive parts sales had been sold at December 31, 2002 and has been classified as discontinued operations.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

NOTE 4 - DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS

In December 2002, the Company's Board of Directors entered into an agreement to sell GAG and its wholly-owned subsidiary Bigoni to Grant Brothers Sales (GBS). The decision to sell was based on, among other items, the low profit capability of automobile parts sales, as well as the Limited Growth Potential of GAG. The Company believes that the photo kiosks business provides for a better business model. The consideration for the sales per the sales agreement was $1. Additionally, GBS will pay the Company 33% of GAG's net cash flow (as defined in the management services agreement) and will be distributed to the Company for the fiscal years of 2004, 2005, and 2006. No payments under the net cash flow are guaranteed. The Company no longer has any control over GAG. The Company's president is also an owner of GBS. The Company has accounted for the sale as having occurred on December 28, 2002, because control was transferred to GBS and the shareholders are expected to ratify the sale (See Note 7).

NOTE 5 - RELATED PARTY RECEIVABLES

Related parties receivable at September 30, 2003 are as follows:

Consulting receivable

$ 87,500

Reimbursement of payments to Bigoni-Steiner

32,683

 

$ 120,183

At the time of the sale of GAG back to GBS, the Company entered into a management services agreement wherein the Company will provide marketing and sales representation for GBS. GBS will pay the Company four equal installments of $50,000 on December 31, 2002, 2003, 2004, and 2005. The first installment of $50,000 and an additional $37,500 accrued through September 30, 2003 are being held in trust pending shareholder approval at its annual meeting.

The reimbursements of payments to Bigoni-Steiner arose from Spectre making payments to the former owners of Bigoni-Steiner on behalf of GAG. Since GAG was sold effective December 31, 2002, GAG owes back to Spectre amounts paid on behalf of GAG. The receivable will bear interest at 6.00%, is unsecured and due upon demand.

Forward Looking Statements

This quarterly report contains forward-looking statements as that term is defined in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These statements relate to future events or our future financial performance. In some cases, you can identify forward-looking statements by terminology such as "may", "will", "should", "expects", "plans", "anticipates", "believes", "estimates", "predicts", "potential" or "continue" or the negative of these terms or other comparable terminology. These statements are only predictions and involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors, including the risks in the section entitled "Risk Factors", that may cause our company's or our industry's actual results, levels of activity, performance or achievements to be materially different from any future results, levels of activity, performance or achievements expressed or implied by these forward-looking statements.

Although we believe that the expectations reflected in the forward-looking statements are reasonable, we cannot guarantee future results, levels of activity, performance or achievements. Except as required by applicable law, including the securities laws of the United States, we do not intend to update any of the forward-looking statements to conform these statements to actual results.

Our financial statements are stated in United States Dollars (US$) and are prepared in accordance with United States Generally Accepted Accounting Principles. In this annual report, unless otherwise specified, all dollar amounts are expressed in United States dollars. All references to CDN$ refer to Canadian dollars.

As used in this annual report, the terms "we", "us", "our" and "Spectre Industries" mean Spectre Industries, Inc. and our wholly-owned subsidiary, unless otherwise indicated.

The following discussion should be read in conjunction with our unaudited consolidated financial statements and notes to our unaudited consolidated financial statements for the period ended September 30, 2003 (see Item 1 "Financial Statements").

General Overview

Spectre Industries, Inc. was incorporated in the State of Nevada on May 13, 1986 under the name Abercrombie, Inc. On June 6, 1995, our name was changed to Spectre Motor Cars, Inc. We changed our name to Spectre Industries, Inc. on November 6, 1997. In December 1997, we retained the services of I.S. Grant & Company, Ltd. to assist in exploring opportunities in the automotive after-market.

In June 1998, Mr. Ian S. Grant, President of I.S. Grant & Company, was appointed to serve as our President and Director. Mr. Grant assisted us with the acquisition of our 100% owned subsidiary, Grant Automotive Group, Inc., an Ontario corporation ("GAG"), from Grant Brothers Sales, Ltd. ("GBS"). Mr. Grant was an officer, director and shareholder of both GBS and our company at the time. As part of a Management Services Agreement entered into concurrently with that transaction, GBS received an aggregate of 450,000 shares. Through his ownership interest in GBS, Mr. Grant holds a beneficial interest in those shares.

We acquired all of the shares of GAG pursuant to a Share Purchase Agreement, dated January 1, 2000, from GBS, a Canadian manufacturers' representative of automotive parts. The business of GAG consisted of GBS's traditional automotive division and heavy-duty division, consisting of the representation of approximately 53 manufacturers of parts used in the automotive after-market industry. As part of this transaction, we entered into the Management Services Agreement with GBS to provide managerial, sales and office support services to GAG for a term of five years. The Management Services Agreement provides GBS with a strong incentive to operate GAG efficiently and successfully. Further, it was clear that raising additional capital for our company would be difficult until GAG had been overseen and operated by our company for a substantial period of time.

On December 11, 2002 we entered into an agreement (the "Agreement") for the disposition of all of the shares of our wholly owned subsidiary GAG back to GBS (the "Sale"). A condition subsequent to the Agreement is that we

15

receive shareholder approval for the Agreement at a meeting to be called for that purpose. We obtained the approval of a majority of the shareholders at a special meeting held on November 12, 2003.

Through GAG, we operated as a manufacturers' representative for manufacturers of products for the automotive parts after-market industry in the wholesale market within Canada. GAG acts as sales agent to wholesale distributors of after-market automotive parts. It does not sell to mass retail merchandisers that sell many products both related and unrelated to the automotive industry. GAG has expanded its representation business to include software developers who have created products directly applicable for use in this market. In general, GAG is compensated by manufacturers for its services on a commission basis.

In order to operate GAG, we have compensated GBS with a commission pursuant to the Management Services Agreement. To operate our non-GAG activities, we entered into an agreement with I.S. Grant & Company whereby the services of Mr. Ian S. Grant are provided to us. These activities include the evaluation of acquisitions, ongoing corporate financing and reporting requirements, supervision of GBS's management of GAG, as well as our other activities. Mr. Grant is paid solely by I.S. Grant & Company for services rendered to us.

In an effort to diversify Spectre's business operations, on September 4, 2001, we founded Auto Photo Kiosk GmbH ("APK"), a limited liability corporation under the laws of Germany, together with three other shareholders: Joachim Zweifel Euros 6,500 (13%), Gerhildt Voigtlaender Euros 6,500 (13%) and Vending Concept GmbH Euros 10,000 (20%). Spectre paid Euros 27,000 (approximately US$24,519) for a 54% interest in APK. Pursuant to a shareholder's agreement dated July 5, 2002 (the "APK Agreement"), we acquired without paying a premium, 26% of the capital of APK for Euros 13.000 (approximately US$12,736) from two of the four shareholders of APK, Joachim Zweifel and Gerhild Voigtlaender, both residing in Germany. We also took over two shareholder loans as part of the agreement. Each loan amounting to Euros 18.453,60 (approximately US$18,079) for a total of Euros 36,907.20 (approximately US$36,159), with no accumulated interest; from the selling shareholders Zweifel and Voigtlaender. We now own 80%, and Vending Concept GmbH, a Swiss corporation, continues to own the remaining 20% of the share capital of APK.

Prior to our disposition of GAG, our primary business has been acting as a manufacturers' representative for products in the automotive after-market industry through GAG, our wholly owned subsidiary. The majority of our revenues have been derived from commissions earned by GAG on the sales of such automotive products. However, for the year ended December 31, 2002, GAG has been accounted for as a discontinued operation, although the majority of our revenues for the year ended December 31, 2002 were generated through GAG. The following discussion should be read in the context of the disposition of GAG and the fact that our results of our operations for the period ending September 30, 2002 were comprised for the most part of the now discontinued operations of GAG, which is now accounted for as a discontinued operation in our interim financial statements. As a result, the discussion of the three month period ended September 30, 2003 compared to the three month period ended September 30, 2002 should be read bearing this in mind.

Three-Month Period Ended September 30, 2003 Compared to the Three-Month Period ended September 30, 2002.

Results of Operations

We incurred a net loss of $97,237 for the three-month period ended September 30, 2003 compared to a net loss of $182,919 for the comparative period in 2002. The decrease in the net loss occurred primarily as a result of the elimination of losses from our discontinued operations, for which we had incurred a loss of $62,400 for the three-month period ended September 30, 2002.

Revenues

We recognized an increase in revenues to $80,591 for the three-month period ended September 30, 2003. During the comparable period in 2002, we recognized revenues of $43,121. The increase in revenue was due to an increase in photo kiosk revenue as a result of having more photo booths in operation, and the receipt of consulting revenue of $12,500. Our gross margins decreased slightly to $16,379 for the period ended September 30, 2003 from $18,620 for the period ended September 30, 2002.

16

General, Administration and Professional Fees

We experienced an decrease in general and administration expenses in the three-month period ended September 30, 2003 to $68,339, as compared to general and administration expenses for the same period in 2002 of $72,094. This decrease was primarily due to the elimination of the expenses associated with the operations of GAG.

Nine-Month Period Ended September 30, 2003 Compared to the Nine-Month Period ended September 30, 2002.

Results of Operations

We incurred a net loss of $298,272 for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2003 compared to a net loss of $416,668 for the comparative period in 2002. The decrease was primarily as a result of the elimination of losses from our discontinued operations, and corresponding increases in revenues from our photo kiosk operations.

Revenues

We recognized an increase in revenues to $225,784 for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2003. During the comparable period in 2002, we recognized revenues of $77,544. Our revenues increased due to bringing more automated photo booths into operation in Germany. Our gross margins increased to $76,964 for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2003 from $32,453 for the period ended September 30, 2002. The increase in our gross margin was as a result of the more efficient costs associated with having more automated photo booths in operation.

General, Administration and Professional Fees

We experienced a marginal increase in general and administration expenses in the nine-month period ended September 30, 2003 to $210,564, as compared to general and administration expenses for the same period in 2002 of $203,572.

Summary

We have incurred operating losses since inception. The continuation of our business is dependent upon the continuing financial support of our creditors and stockholders, obtaining further financing, and, finally, achieving a profitable level of operations. There are however, no assurances that we will be able to generate further funds required for our continued operations.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Our net loss for the nine-months ended September 30, 2003 was $298,272, compared to $416,668 for the same period in 2002. During the nine-month period ended September 30, 2003, we incurred an operating loss of $294,150. During the same period in 2002, we incurred an operating loss of $362,180.

Net cash used in operating activities for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2003 was $118,148 compared to net cash used in operating activities of $313,625 during the comparative period in 2002.

Net cash used in investing activities during the nine-month period ended September 30, 2003 was $16,601, compared to cash provided by investing activities of $4,282 for the same period in 2002. Net cash provided by financing activities was $93,537 for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2003, compared to $77,670 for the comparative period in 2002. The net decrease in cash during the nine-month period ended September 30, 2003 was $41,212, leaving us with a cash balance at September 30, 2003 of $10,221.

We anticipate that we will be able to raise sufficient short-term capital in order to finance our operations and working capital requirements through the end of the fiscal year. Before the end of the current fiscal year, we also anticipate an increase in revenues that, in addition to any financing raised, will fund operations and working capital requirements. We do not currently have any material commitments for capital expenditures.

17

Our capital requirements are difficult to plan in light of the pending and proposed sale of GAG and our current strategy to expand our customer base for the automated photo booth operations of APK. Since our inception, we have been dependent on investment capital as an important source of liquidity. Our operations presently are generating negative cash flow, and we do not expect positive cash flow from operations in the near term. We need to secure additional working capital in the short-term in order to sustain our operations and execute our business plan. It is our intention to raise sufficient funds necessary to carry our company through to positive cash flow and profitability. Management projects that we may require an additional $200,000 to $250,000 to help fund our ongoing operating expenses and working capital requirements for the next twelve months.

Personnel

As of September 30, 2003, we do not have any employees other than our directors and officers. Our company is managed by Ian S. Grant under a consulting agreement with Grant & Co., dated June 1, 1998. Over the twelve months ending September 30, 2004, we do not expect to hire any employees.

Future Operations

An investment in our common stock involves a number of very significant risks. You should carefully consider the following risks and uncertainties in addition to other information in this quarterly report in evaluating our company and our business before purchasing shares of common stock. It is possible that our business, operating results and financial condition could be seriously harmed due to any of the following risks. The trading price of shares of our common stock could decline due to any of these risks, and you could lose all or part of your investment.

NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

In June 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board finalized FASB Statements No. 141, Business Combinations (SFAS 141), and No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets (SFAS 142). SFAS 141 requires the use of the purchase method of accounting and prohibits the use of the pooling-of-interests method of accounting for business combinations initiated after June 30, 2001. SFAS 141 also requires that the Company recognize acquired intangible assets apart from goodwill if the acquired intangible assets meet certain criteria. SFAS 141 applies to all business combinations initiated after June 30, 2001 and for purchase business combinations completed on or after July 1, 2001. It also requires, upon adoption of SFAS 142, that the Company reclassify the carrying amounts of intangible assets and goodwill based on the criteria in SFAS 141.

SFAS 142 requires, among other things, that companies no longer amortize goodwill, but instead test goodwill for impairment at least annually. In addition, SFAS 142 requires that the Company identify reporting units for the purposes of assessing potential future impairments of goodwill, reassess the useful lives of other existing recognized intangible assets, and cease amortization of intangible assets with an indefinite useful life. An intangible asset with an indefinite useful life should be tested for impairment in accordance with the guidance in SFAS 142. SFAS 142 is required to be applied in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2001 to all goodwill and other intangible assets recognized at that date, regardless of when those assets were initially recognized. SFAS 142 requires the Company to complete a transitional goodwill impairment test six months from the date of adoption. The Company is also required to reassess the useful lives of other intangible assets within the first interim quarter after adoption of SFAS 142. The impact of following SFAS 142 may result in a future write-down of goodwill and the impact on the financial position and results of operations may be material. To September 30, 2003, no write-downs of goodwill were recorded in our financial statements.

In August 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board finalized FAS 144, Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets. FAS 144 addresses accounting and reporting for the impairment or disposal of long-lived assets, including the disposal of a segment of business. FAS 144 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2001, with earlier application encouraged. There is no impact of adoption of SFAS 144 on our consolidated financial statements.

In June 2002, FASB finalized FAS 146, Accounting for Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities. FAS 146 addresses financial accounting and reporting for costs associated with exit or disposal activities and nullifies

18

Emerging Issues Task Force (EITF) Issue No. 94-3, "Liability Recognition for Certain Employee Termination Benefits and Other Costs to Exit an Activity (including Certain Costs Incurred in a Restructuring)." The principal difference between this Statement and Issue 94-3 relates to its requirements for recognition of a liability for a cost associated with an exit or disposal activity. This Statement requires that a liability for a cost associated with an exit or disposal activity be recognized when the liability is incurred. Under Issue 94-3, a liability for an exit cost as defined in Issue 94-3 was recognized at the date of an entity's commitment to an exit plan. A fundamental conclusion reached by the Board in this Statement is that an entity's commitment to a plan, by itself, does not create a present obligation to others that meets the definition of a liability. Therefore, this Statement eliminates the definition and requirements for recognition of exit costs in Issue 94-3. This Statement also establishes that fair value is the objective for initial measurement of the liability. The adoption of this statement is not expected to have a material impact on the Company's financial position and results of operations. FAS 146 is effective for exit and disposal activities initiated after December 31, 2002.

In December 2002, the Financial Accounting Standards Board Issued Statement No. 148, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation-Transition and Disclosure-an amendment of FASB Statement No. 123", ("SFAS 148"). SFAS 148 amends FASB Statement No. 123, "Accounting for Stock Based Compensation" ("SFAS 123") and provides alternative methods for accounting for a change by registrants to the fair value method of accounting for stock-based compensation. Additionally, SFAS 148 amends the disclosure requirements of SFAS 123 to require disclosure in the significant accounting policy footnote of both annual and interim financial statements of the method of accounting for stock-based compensation and the related pro-forma disclosures when the intrinsic value method continues to be used. The statement is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2002, and disclosures are effective for the first fiscal quarter beginning after December 15, 2002. The Company will continue to use the intrinsic model method.

In November 2002, the FASB issued FASB Interpretation No. 45, "Guarantor's Accounting and Disclosure Requirements for Guarantees, Including Indirect Guarantees of Indebtedness of Others", which addresses the accounting for and disclosure of guarantees. FASB Interpretation No. 45 requires a guarantor to recognize a liability for the fair value of a guarantee at inception. The recognition of the liability is required even if it is not probable that payments will be required under the guarantee. The disclosure requirements are effective for interim and annual financial statements ending after December 15, 2002. The initial recognition and measurement provisions are effective for all guarantees within the scope of FASB Interpretation No. 45 issued or modified after December 31, 2002.

FASB Interpretation No. 46, "Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities", clarifies the application of Accounting Research Bulletin No. 51, "Consolidated Financial Statements", to certain entities in which equity investors do not have the characteristics of a controlling financial interest or do not have sufficient equity at risk for the entity to finance its activities without additional subordinated financial support from other parties. FASB Interpretation No. 46 is applicable immediately for variable interest entities created after January 31, 2003. For variable interest entities created prior to January 31, 2003, the provisions of FASB Interpretation No. 46 are applicable no later than July 1, 2003.

RISK FACTORS

Much of the information included in this quarterly report includes or is based upon estimates, projections or other "forward-looking statements". Such forward-looking statements include any projections or estimates made by us and our management in connection with our business operations. While these forward-looking statements, and any assumption upon which they are based, are made in good faith and reflect our current judgement regarding the direction of our business, actual results will almost always vary, sometimes materially, from any estimates, predictions, projections, assumptions, or other future performance suggested herein. We undertake no obligation to update forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances occurring after the date of such statements.

Such estimates, projections or other "forward-looking statements" involve various risks and uncertainties as outlined below. We caution readers of this quarterly report that important factors in some cases have affected and, in the future, could materially affect actual results and cause actual results to differ materially from the results expressed in any such estimates, projections or other "forward-looking statements". In evaluating us, our business and any investment in our business, readers should carefully consider the following factors.

"Penny Stock" Rules

The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission has adopted regulations which generally define "penny stock" to be any equity security that has a market price (as defined) less than $5.00 per share or an exercise price of less than $5.00 per share, subject to certain exceptions. Our company's securities are covered by the penny stock rules, which impose additional sales practice requirements on broker-dealers who sell to persons other than established customers and "accredited investors." The term "accredited investor" refers generally to institutions with assets in excess of $5,000,000 or individuals with a net worth in excess of $1,000,000 or annual income exceeding $200,000 or $300,000 jointly with their spouse. The penny stock rules require that a broker-dealer, prior to a transaction in a penny stock not otherwise exempt from the rules, deliver a standardized risk disclosure document in a form prepared by the SEC which provides information about penny stocks and the nature and level of risks in the penny stock market. The broker-dealer must also provide the customer with current bid and offer quotations for the penny stock, the compensation of the broker-dealer and its salesperson in the transaction and monthly account statements showing the market value of each penny stock held in the customer's account. The bid and offer quotations, and the broker-dealer and salesperson compensation information, must be given to the customer orally or in writing prior to effecting the transaction and must be given to the customer in writing before or with the customer's confirmation. In addition, the penny stock rules require that prior to a transaction in a penny stock not otherwise exempt from these rules, the broker-dealer must make a special written determination that the penny stock is a suitable investment for the purchaser and receive the purchaser's written agreement to the transaction. These disclosure requirements may have the effect of reducing the level of trading activity in the secondary market for the stock that is subject to these penny stock rules. Consequently, these penny stock rules may affect the ability of broker-dealers to trade our securities. We believe that the penny stock rules discourage investor interest in and limit the marketability of, our common stock.

Limited Operating History In Providing Services to the Automotive After-market and Instant Photo Booth Industries

On January 1, 1999 we commenced the operation of our current business in the auto-motive after market. On September 4, 2001 we commenced the operation of our current business in the instant photo booth market. As such, we have a limited operating history on which to base an evaluation of our business and prospects. Our prospects must be considered in light of the risks, uncertainties, expenses and difficulties frequently encountered by companies in their early stages of development. Some of these risks and uncertainties relate to our ability to:

- attract and maintain a large base of manufacturers and customers;

- establish and maintain strategic alliances with manufacturers and service providers in the automotive after-market industry;

- establish and maintain relationships with key location providers for our instant photo booths;

20

- respond effectively to competitive and technological developments;

- build an infrastructure to support our business;

- effectively develop new and maintain existing relationships with manufacturers and service providers in the automotive after-market industry; and

- attract, retain and motivate qualified personnel.

We cannot be sure that we will be successful in addressing these risks and uncertainties and our failure to do so may impair our ability to capture market share and generate revenues. In addition, our operating results are dependent to a large degree upon factors outside of our control, including the general strength and viability of the automotive after-market industry and the acceptance of our instant photo booths in the German market.

Many of Our Competitors Have Greater Resources And Better Name Recognition

Many of our competitors are substantially larger than us and have significantly greater financial resources and marketing capabilities than we have, together with better name recognition. It is possible that new competitors may emerge and acquire significant market share in the automotive after-market. Competitors with superior resources and capabilities may be better able to utilize such advantages to market their services better, faster and/or cheaper than we can.

Increased competition from future or existing competitors in the instant photo booth market or automotive after-market will likely impair our ability to establish and maintain market share. If we are unsuccessful in generating and maintaining a sufficient base of manufacturers and service providers in the in the automotive after-market who utilize our services, it is unlikely that we will be able to generate sufficient revenues to sustain operations. In addition, if we are unsuccessful in establishing and maintaining a sufficient number of instant photo booths in profitable locations, it is unlikely that we will be able to generate sufficient revenues to sustain operations

We lack working capital and due to the losses incurred since inception, our stockholders' deficiencies and lack of revenues, there is substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.

There is substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern due to the losses incurred since inception, our stockholders' deficiency, and lack of revenues.

We have not generated sufficient revenues to cover our operational expenses and do not anticipate doing so in the near future. If our business does not meet our intended income goals, we will require additional financing. If we are not successful in obtaining additional financing by the end of 2003, we may be required to reduce operations to a sustainable level until any such financing is obtained, or sufficient revenues are generated to sustain operations. There can be no assurances that additional equity or other financing will be available at all or available on terms acceptable to us.

Our ability to continue in business in part depends upon our continued ability to obtain financing. There can be no assurance that any such financing would be available upon terms and conditions acceptable to us, if at all. The inability to obtain additional financing in a sufficient amount when needed and upon acceptable terms and conditions could have a materially adverse effect upon us. Inadequate funding could impair our ability to compete in the marketplace and could result in our dissolution.

We have a history of net losses and a lack of established revenues, and as a result, we expect to incur our net losses in the future.

We have had a history of losses and expect to continue to incur losses, and may never achieve or maintain profitability. As of September 30, 2003 we have an accumulated deficit of approximately $12,188,418.

21

Dependence Upon Relationships With Key Manufacturers

Our future success depends upon our ability represent manufacturers and service providers in the automotive after-market industry.

We have a limited number of relationships with manufacturers and service providers in the automotive after-market, and rely significantly upon the personal contacts of our President, Ian S. Grant, to maintain our existing relationships and to develop new relationships. Our success depends significantly on our ability to maintain existing relationships with these manufacturers and service providers and to build new relationships with other automotive manufacturers and service providers. We cannot ensure that we will be able to maintain such relationships or continue to obtain agreements to represent other parties in the industry.

Further, our relationships with manufacturers and service providers in the automotive after-market are nonexclusive, and many of our competitors offer, or could offer, services that are similar to or the same as the services that we offer. Such direct competition could adversely affect our business. Any inability to effectively manage our relationships with manufacturers and service providers in the automotive after-market may result in decreased potential for revenues, which could adversely affect our business.

Risk of Termination of Site Contracts

The contracts pursuant to which we place instant photo booths on site locations that are short-term, ie. one year "evergreen" contracts that are easily terminated by either party. There can be no assurance that contracts to place instant photo booths will not be terminated at any time. The termination of a contract or other arrangement with a provider of multiple sites, would significantly reduce our number of auto photo kiosk installations and limit access to prime site locations in the future. Such a termination could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Dependence on a Single Product; Rapid Technological Change

Going forward we will derive the majority of our revenues from the operation of our instant photo booths. The digital technology incorporated by our instant photo booths is characterized by rapid technological change, new products and services, evolving industry standards and changing client preferences. Our success will depend, in significant part, upon our ability to make timely and cost-effective enhancements and additions to the auto photo kiosk technology and to introduce new products and services that meet customer demands. We expect new products and services to be developed and introduced by other companies that compete with our products and services. The proliferation of new digital photographic technology may reduce demand for our instant photo booths. There can be no assurance that we will be successful in responding to these or other technological changes, to evolving industry standards or to new products and services offered by our current and future competitors. In addition, we may not have access to sufficient capital for our research and development needs in order to develop or acquire new products and services.

Disruption in Manufacturing and Repair; Inability to Manufacture or Service Instant Photo Booths

The supply, manufacture technical updates and servicing of the instant photo booths is provided exclusively by Vending Concepts GmbH. We are dependent on this one supplier for the provision, repair and servicing of the instant photo booths. Our reliance on this supplier, as well as industry supply conditions generally, subject us to various risks, including the possibility of a shortage or a lack of availability of instant photo booths, key components, quality control problems, increases in component costs and reduced control over delivery schedules, any of which could adversely affect our business and results of operations. In situations where we are unable to rectify supply or quality problems associated with our instant photo booths costly delays could result. Although we believe that our supplier has current manufacturing capabilities to enable it to produce sufficient instant photo booths for our purposes through fiscal 2003, there can be no assurance that this will be adequate for unanticipated future growth.

22

Uncertain Ability To Achieve, Manage Or Sustain Growth

It may be necessary for us to grow in order to remain competitive. Our ability to grow is dependent upon a number of factors including, but not limited to, our ability to hire, train and assimilate management and other employees, the adequacy of our financial resources, our ability to identify and efficiently provide new services as may be demanded by our customers in the future and our ability to adapt our services to accommodate necessary operational changes. In addition, there can be no assurance that we will be able to achieve such expansion or that we will be able to manage expanded operations successfully. Failure to manage growth effectively and efficiently could have an adverse effect on our ability to acquire sufficient market share and remain competitive.

Dependence Upon Ian S. Grant

Our key personnel is limited at present to Ian S. Grant, our President. The loss of the services of Mr. Grant and other employees, for any reason, may have a materially adverse effect on our prospects. Although we believe that the loss of any of our management or other key employees (apart from Mr. Grant) will not have a material adverse impact upon us, there can be no assurance in this regard, nor any assurance that we will be able to find suitable replacements. In addition, competition for personnel is intense, making it difficult to find highly skilled employees with appropriate qualifications. Furthermore, we do not maintain "key man" life insurance on the lives of any of our management or other of our key employees. To the extent that the services of any key employee of ours becomes unavailable, we will be required to retain other qualified persons. However, there can be no assurance that we will be able to employ qualified persons upon acceptable terms.

Volatility Of Stock Price

The trading price of our common stock has been and may continue to be subject to wide fluctuations. Trading prices of our common stock may fluctuate in response to a number of factors, many of which are beyond our control. In addition, the stock market in general has experienced extreme price and volume fluctuations that have often been unrelated or disproportionate to the operating performance of such companies. The trading prices of many companies' stocks have recently been at historical highs and reflected price earnings ratios substantially above historical levels. There can be no assurance that such trading prices and price earnings ratios will be achieved again. These broad market and industry factors may adversely affect the market price of the common stock, regardless of our operating performance.

In the past, following periods of volatility in the market price of a company's securities, securities class-action litigation has often been instituted. Such litigation, if instituted, could result in substantial costs and a diversion of management's attention and resources.

Effect Of Shares Eligible For Public Sale

As of November 1 , 2003, there were 20,878,082 common shares issued and outstanding. As of November 1, 2003, there were no shares held in escrow. Sales of a large number of shares could have an adverse effect on the market price of our common stock. Any sales by these stockholders could adversely affect the trading price of our common stock.

Insider Control Of Common Stock

As of November 1, 2003, directors and executive officers beneficially owned approximately 1,000,000 shares of our outstanding common stock. As a result, these stockholders, if they act as a group, will have a significant influence on all matters requiring stockholder approval, including the election of directors and approval of significant corporate transactions. Such control may have the effect of delaying or preventing a change in control.

Item 3. Controls and Procedures

As required by Rule 13a-15 under the Exchange Act, as of the end of the period covered by this report, being September 30, 2003, we have carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our

23

company's disclosure controls and procedures. This evaluation was carried out under the supervision and with the participation of our company's management, including our company's president. Based upon that evaluation, our company's president a concluded that our company's disclosure controls and procedures are effective as of the end of the period covered by this report. There have been no significant changes in our company's internal controls or in other factors, which could significantly affect internal controls subsequent to the date we carried our evaluation.
