PART I.
ITEM 1. DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS
We are a holding company that seeks to acquire businesses fitting a predefined
investment strategy.
We are the parent company of Fantasy Sports, Inc., which operates the
Fantasycup.com, fantasycup.org, fantasycup.net, fantasystockcar.com, and
fantasynhra.com websites and specializes in subscription based NASCAR, college
football and basketball and other fantasy sports games. We are also the parent
company of Student Sports, Inc. which publishes Student Sports Magazine, owns
and produces "Inside Cal Hi Sports - Bay Area" television program, owns and
operates Area Code Baseball and operates the Studentsports.com and
packwestfootball.com web sites. Student Sports specializes in media products and
marketing programs focusing on the high school athletic market. We are also a
shareholder in Magnolia Broadband Wireless, a startup company which is
developing wireless broadband products.
HISTORY
We were founded in September 1995 to pursue opportunities in South Africa as an
emerging market. At that time, our business plan was to acquire, own and operate
seasoned, closely held companies in South Africa with annual sales in the range
of approximately $5 million to $50 million. In 1999, we shifted our focus to the
Internet, technology and e-commerce sectors, and away from South Africa, by
acquiring a majority stake in Leisureplanet.com, an Internet travel services
company. In connection with the shift in our business plan, we changed our name
to Leisureplanet Holdings, Ltd. In 2000, we disposed of our operations in South
Africa, closed Leisureplanet.com and acquired 100% of Fantasy Sports, Inc. In
2001, we acquired 100% of Student Sports, Inc. As a result of these changes and
developments, we have reestablished our investment criteria. Our strategy
focuses on:
o Acquiring controlling stakes in small, high quality, sports media and
marketing businesses with strong management teams that are positioned to
use technology and Internet related platforms to fuel above average growth.
o Our investments must show an ability to contribute, in the short to medium
term, to earnings per share through operating profit or capital
appreciation.
o We aim to add value to our investments by operating in partnership with
committed, incentivised, entrepreneurial management who show the vision and
ability to grow their businesses into industry or niche leaders.
DESCRIPTION OF OUR SUBSIDIARIES AND INVESTMENTS
FANTASY SPORTS, INC.
Fantasy Sports, Inc. owns and operates one of America's oldest and largest
subscription based NASCAR fantasy sports game. In addition, the company has
developed, and offers, subscription based college football, basketball, golf and
other motor sport fantasy games. All the company's games offer weekly and
seasonal cash and merchandise prizes.
Currently, the Company has over 30,000 participants paying for its Spring, Fall
and One Race NASCAR challenges, as well as the fantasy college football and
basketball challenges and our other games. Our NASCAR games currently generate
over 72% of our subscriber revenues. Participants pay between $99.95 to $169.95
to play in our seasonal games, and a $25 fee to participate in our One Race and
Tournament challenges. We offer two grand prizes of $25,000 each for our NASCAR
challenges and a $10,000 prize for the college football challenge winner. The
winners of our One Race and Tournament challenges receive $10,000. In addition,
weekly prizes and bonus points are widely distributed.

Fantasy sports participation is rapidly becoming a significant component of
sports related leisure time activity. The NASCAR niche is particularly appealing
as growing public interest in the sport, as evidenced by increased attendance
and TV ratings for all NASCAR events, particularly the Winston Cup Series races,
have made this one of America's most popular sports. This trend has been
strengthened in 2001 with the first national television network broadcast of the
Winston Cup Series. The death of Dale Earnhardt has generated further public
interest in the sport and does not seem to have had a negative impact on the
sport's popularity. Fantasy Sports has been operating their NASCAR challenges
since 1993 and are the dominant company in this market. Our spokesperson, Ned
Jarrett, a well-known NASCAR personality, lends credibility and wide public
acceptance to our games. Mr. Jarrett appears in our numerous television
commercials as well as on the cover of our rulebook and his reputation
personifies the quality and integrity of our games. In addition, our websites
offer up to the minute racing tips from Mark Garrow, the well-known broadcaster,
which adds to the fun and excitement of playing the game. Contestants can visit
the site and trade drivers up to the very last minute prior to a race, thereby
offering the highest degree of interactive online participation. Our
state-of-the-art in-house call center offers live, high quality customer service
to our participants.
Since 1997, Fantasy Sports has operated a full season college football challenge
game, which accounts for approximately 6% of our revenues at present. During
2001, we developed and deployed a tournament challenge college basketball game
that generated over 2,000 paying customers in our last fiscal year. In 2002, we
developed and operated the only National Hotrod Association (NHRA) fantasy game.
In addition, we developed and operated the official Open Championship Online
Golf Game for the 2002 British Open. To date, these games have yet to develop a
significant customer base. We have developed a retail business that specializes
in the sale of NASCAR related die-cast cars, apparel and other merchandise. This
retail operation commenced business in May 2001 and currently accounts for
approximately 22% of our business. In July, 2001 we entered into an agreement
with TWI Interactive, Inc. (TWIi), the online arm of International Management
Group (IMG), the world's largest sports marketing firm. The agreement was
designed to aid us in our goal to establish Fantasy Sports, Inc. as the
premiere, independent, subscription based fantasy sports games provider
worldwide. Under the agreement, TWIi and affiliates of IMG provide exclusive
representation and services across a broad spectrum of its sports marketing
activities. The agreement also provides for TWIi to receive a 4-year warrant to
acquire up to 5% of the currently outstanding shares of Fantasy Sports, Inc. In
June 2002, we terminated this agreement.
We are currently seeking corporate sponsorships for our games in order to
diversify the revenue streams so that we are not solely reliant on subscription
fees for our games, however, we have not yet entered into any such agreements.
STUDENT SPORTS, INC.
Student Sports offers unique access to the high school athletic market across
multimedia platforms. The company's primary thrust has been to offer marketing
services to large corporations interested in accessing this market.
Additionally, the company is also working towards building a "bottom-up" revenue
generation strategy based on the creation of a number of subscription based
programs where products and services will be sold directly to the high school
athletes, their parents and coaches.
The company's media platforms are as follows:
PUBLISHING DIVISION
The publishing division can be divided into two areas: General Media and
Specialized Recruiting Information.
-3-
General Media: For the past ten years, the company has published a monthly
national magazine called Student Sports. It currently has 13,200 subscribers,
the majority of whom pay $19.95 a year. In addition, the company publishes a
California high school sports almanac, charging $15 a copy, with sales of
approximately 5,000 copies. The company published a National high school
football annual with The Sporting News that is sold on newsstands at $6.98 a
copy.
Specialized Recruiting Information: Over the past fifteen years, the company has
developed and currently employs a national scouting staff of 15. This staff
provides the data for the following specialized publications: A weekly sports
wire to 400 publications with high school rankings, ratings and players of the
week in a number of sports; a student sports football wire which provides
recruiting information to Division 1, 2 and 3 NCAA schools. Currently it has 73
paying schools at an average subscription of $600 per year. Additionally, it
puts out a Cal High Sports weekly newsletter, charging $69 per subscription,
with approximately 250 subscribers.
TELEVISION
Historically, the television division has focused on being a consulting producer
in the Southern California market. For the past five years, the company has
produced a "high school game of the week" for Fox Sports Net in Los Angeles as
well as a weekly magazine-style show, "Inside Cal-High Sports" for which it has
won three Emmy awards. Over the past three years, it has also produced two high
school all-star games a year, which are played in California and broadcast
nationally; California vs. Florida All-Stars and California vs. Texas All-Stars.
Currently, the company has not renewed its agreement with Fox Sports Net and is
seeking other outlets for its shows in the Los Angeles market. In February 2002,
the company hired Robert Braunstein, a highly regarded high school sports
broadcaster in the Bay area. Mr. Braunstein, along with a staff of two, creates
and produces a half-hour weekly show called "Cal-Hi Sports Bay Area" airing this
season every Sunday afternoon at 4:30 on KRON 4 and replayed twice during the
week on Fox Sports Net.
The company owns the content for the games of the week shown over the past five
years. In addition, the division owns extensive video footage of numerous high
school athletes, some of whom have become national figures, such as Emmit Smith,
John Elway and Keyshawn Johnson.
EVENTS
For the past four years, the company has run elite football camps for Nike.
Currently, it runs 12 camps a season, bring 225 regional football all-stars to
each camp. In addition, the company conducts the "Elite 11" quarterback camp.
This high profile five-day elite training school brings together the top high
school quarterbacks in the nation to be coached and mentored by renowned coach
Bob Johnson, and a staff of counselors made up of some of the elite college
quarterbacks in the nation. To date, the company has not charged an entrance fee
for these camps.
In April 2002, Student Sports acquired Area Code Baseball. Area Code has a very
similar model to the Student Sports football camps and attracts over 2,500
leading high school baseball players to regional tryouts throughout the country.
In the 2001 Amateur Draft, 24 former Area Code players were drafted in the first
round. Area Code runs an All-Star Tournament where select players compete in
California in front of coaches, scouts, agents and a paying audience.
The events division, on a ad-hoc basis, organizes and runs unique tournaments,
gatherings and marketing events for its corporate clients. The company also
created, organized and ran the high school football game between the nation's
number 1 and number 2 ranked teams. NFL.com labeled this nationally broadcast
game "high school game of the century."
-4-
INTERNET
The company offers three online destinations. Studentsports.com is a free online
version of the magazine with additional features. Studentsports.com is hosted on
the Citadel network. In addition, the company offers a subscription based
recruiting information service at Pacwestfootball.com, and CalHiSports.com, also
hosted on the Citadel network. Presently, traffic at these sites is relatively
small.
The company is seeking to leverage its various media platforms and access to,
and creditability with, high school athletes into new subscription based
products and content based offerings.
MAGNOLIA BROADBAND WIRELESS
On April 14, 2000, we entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement with Magnolia
Broadband, Inc. Magnolia is a start up company that is developing wireless
broadband solutions for the mobile telecommunications industry. Mobile
telecommunications has been and continues to be one of the fastest growing and
most dynamic segments of the telecommunications industry. According to a recent
Cahner's Instat Group report, semiconductor revenue for wireless handsets will
reach more than $50B by 2004, driven by an expected sales volume of over 1.2
billion handsets that year.
Magnolia is developing technology to become one of the first companies to
integrate smart antenna technologies into RF chip sets utilized in mobile
phones. The Company's innovative chip sets are aimed at helping handset
manufacturers satisfy both of their key constituencies - consumers and network
operators. Magnolia's technology aims to: double power efficiency, i.e. battery
life; decrease radiation at least twenty times (reducing health risks); and,
significantly reduce dropped calls. We believe the technology will be attractive
to network operators because, if effective, it will enable them to serve twice
as many subscribers with the same infrastructure and offer better, more
consistent reception to users, many of whom choose a carrier based on this
critical criterion.
We invested $2,500,000 in Magnolia and received shares of preferred stock in
Magnolia. We also received board representation rights and registration rights.
In October 2001, we invested a further $450,000 of a total $1,500,000 offering
of Magnolia's Series A Preferred Stock. We co-invested along with Selway
Partners, LLC, and CIP Capital, LP. In April and May 2002 Magnolia raised a
further $7.5 million in an offering of Series B Preferred Stock. We did not
participate in this round, which was led by Ecentury Capital Partners and SCP
Private Equity. Currently we own 13% of Magnolia that may be reduced to
approximately 7% on a fully diluted basis including the exercise of all employee
stock options. Due to recurring losses, our investment in Magnolia at June 30,
2002, which is now accounted for under the cost method, was $831,066.
EMPLOYEES
Silverstar Holdings through its US management subsidiaries employs three full
time salaried employees. Fantasy Sports, Inc. currently employs 13 full time
salaried employees and approximately 21 hourly employees. Student Sports, Inc.
currently employs 21 full time salaried employees and approximately two hourly
employees.
Our success will depend on our ability to attract and retain highly qualified
employees. We provide performance based and equity based compensation programs
to reward and motivate significant contributors among our employees. Competition
for qualified personnel in the industry is intense. There can be no assurance
that our current and planned staffing will be adequate to support our future
operations or that management will be able to hire, train, retain, motivate, and
manage required personnel. Although none of our employees is represented by a
labor union, there can be no assurance that our employees will not join or form
a labor union. We have not experienced any work stoppages and consider our
relations with our employees to be good.

ITEM 7 MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
BACKGROUND AND HISTORY
Silverstar Holdings Limited was incorporated in September 1995. The Company's
intention is to actively pursue acquisitions fitting a pre defined investment
strategy:
o Acquiring controlling stakes in small, high quality, sports media and
marketing businesses with strong management teams that are positioned to
use technology and Internet related platforms to fuel above average growth.
o Our investments must show an ability to contribute, in the short to medium
term, to earnings per share through operating profit or capital
appreciation.
o We aim to add value to our investments by operating in partnership with
committed, entrepreneurial management who show the vision and ability to
grow their businesses into industry or niche leaders.
The Company sold its last remaining South African operations in November 2000.
The Company still has significant assets that are denominated in South African
Rand. The assets include cash and notes receivable. Should the Company hold the
notes until maturity the Company will continue to incur income statement charges
to the extent that the Rand devalues relative to the US dollar. At the present
time, management has no intention of disposing of the notes receivable.
-8-
In August 2000, the Company's Internet travel related business,
Leisureplanet.com ("LPI") was placed under voluntary administration in the
United Kingdom. Full provision was made for the Company's investment in LPI in
the accounts for the year ended June 30, 2000.
On November 17, 2000, the Company acquired all of the assets and certain
liabilities of Fantasy Sports (Fantasy) from GoRacing Interactive Services, Inc.
Founded in 1993, Fantasy Sports operates the fantasycup.com, fantasycup.org,
fantasycup.net, fantasystockcar.com and fantasynhra.com websites and specializes
in subscription based NASCAR, college football and other fantasy sports games as
well as the sale of die-cast racing cars.
On September 24, 2001, a newly created subsidiary of the Company, Student
Sports, Inc., acquired all the assets and business and assumed certain
liabilities of Student Sports, a media company, producing publications,
television programs and various marketing initiatives for the high school sports
market.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The results of operations only analyze the corporate activity of the group, as
its former operations, namely Lifestyle and LPI are no longer included as
continuing operations. Discussion of the results of these operations is given
under the heading, DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS, below.
FISCAL 2002 COMPARED TO FISCAL 2001
Revenues
Revenues were $4.23 million in fiscal 2002 as a result of revenues earned by
Fantasy and Student Sports, which were acquired during the second quarter of the
prior year and the first quarter of the current year, respectively. Revenues in
the prior year were $1.30 million and were related to Fantasy Sports. The
increase is due to a full year of Fantasy's revenues, as well as the acquisition
of Student Sports during fiscal 2002.
Cost of Sales
Cost of sales were $2.43 million in fiscal 2002 as a result of Fantasy's and
Student Sports' operations. Cost of sales in the prior year were $0.87 million
and are attributable to Fantasy. The increase is due to a full year of Fantasy's
revenue, as well as the acquisition of Student Sports during fiscal 2002 and a
bulk sale of Fantasy Sports inventory.
Selling, General and Administrative Expenses
Selling, general and administrative expenses for fiscal 2002 were $4.62 million,
an increase of $1.56 million over the same period in the prior year. This
increase is due to having a full year of Fantasy as compared with six months in
the prior year and the acquisition of Student Sports at the end of the first
quarter of the current year, offset by a reduction in overall corporate
expenses.
Amortization and Depreciation
Amortization of intangible assets decreased from $0.37 million in fiscal 2001 to
$0.11 million in the current year as a result of the adoption of Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 142 "GOODWILL AND OTHER INTANGIBLE
ASSETS", whereby the Company no longer amortizes amounts attributable to
goodwill. Depreciation expense was $0.09 million in fiscal 2002 as compared to
$0.07 million in fiscal 2001. The increase is primarily due to the acquisition
of Student Sports.
-9-
Equity in Losses of Unconsolidated Affiliates
Equity in losses of unconsolidated affiliates decreased to zero for fiscal 2002
compared to a loss of $1.92 million in fiscal 2001. The decrease is due to the
Company recognizing losses to the extent of their investment in the prior year.
The Company's investment in Magnolia, effective with the third quarter of fiscal
2002 is being accounted for under the cost method. Therefore, no further income
or loss from Magnolia's operations will be recognized by the Company.
Foreign Currency Loss
Foreign currency losses are related to the assets remaining in the discontinued
South African operations. The Foreign currency losses during fiscal 2002 were
$1.35 million as compared to $1.04 million in the prior year as a result of the
deterioration of the South African Rand against the US dollar. These foreign
currency losses are non cash items until converted into US dollars, when any
unrealized gains or losses will be converted to cash.
Interest Income
Interest income of $0.63 million was recorded during fiscal 2002 as compared to
interest income of $1.55 million in fiscal 2001. During fiscal 2001, the Company
earned interest on the proceeds realized on the sale of Lifestyle. These
proceeds were utilized to pay down debt and invested in interest bearing
accounts. The decrease in interest income in fiscal 2002 is a result of lower
invested cash balances, as well as the deterioration of the South African Rand
against the dollar, which affects interest earned on Notes Receivable from the
sale of the Lifestyle business.
Interest Expense
Interest expense during fiscal 2002 was not material as compared to the $0.57
million in the prior year. The decrease in interest expense is attributable to
the repayment of approximately $12 million of increasing rate subordinated
convertible debentures during the third and fourth quarters of fiscal 2001.
Preference Dividend
The preference dividend related to the mandatory redeemable preference shares of
Lifestyle. These preferred shares were redeemed with the sale of Lifestyle and
there were no additional dividends after the second quarter of fiscal 2001.
Provision for Income Taxes
The Company is registered in Bermuda, where no tax laws are applicable. Three of
the Company's subsidiaries are subject to income taxes. Up to this date, none of
them has had taxable income. They have incurred losses for tax purposes. The
deferred tax asset generated by the tax losses and temporary differences has
been fully reserved.
Discontinued Operations
The Lifestyle business was sold in November 2000 and has not been included in
the Company's results since that time. The income during the prior year was
earned before the disposition of the business.
Extraordinary Item - Gain On Extinguishment of Debt
During the last half of fiscal 2001, the Company negotiated agreements with its
lenders to retire $11.70 million of debentures at face value plus accrued
interest. As a result, the Company recorded a gain on previously accrued sinking
fund interest of $2.14 million in fiscal 2001. Since the remaining debentures
were paid off at their maturity in October 2001, no such transaction occurred
during fiscal 2002.
Net Loss
The Company has recognized a loss of $3.79 million during fiscal 2002, as
compared to a loss of $5.26 million during the prior year. The current year
includes non-cash foreign currency losses of $1.35 million
-10-
due to the devaluation of the South African Rand against the US dollar of
approximately 29% during the year. The prior year loss included $1.04 million of
non-cash foreign currency losses and $2.39 million loss on the disposal of
discontinued operations, offset by the extraordinary gain on the extinguishments
of debt of $2.14 million. Without these items, the net loss for fiscal 2002
would have been $2.44 million as compared to $3.97 million for fiscal 2001.
FISCAL 2001 COMPARED TO FISCAL 2000
Revenues
Revenues were zero in 2000 due to the discontinuation of all then existing
businesses. The Company acquired Fantasy in November 2000. All of the revenues
in 2001 relate to Fantasy.
Cost of Sales
Cost of sales was zero in 2000 due to the discontinuation of all then existing
businesses. The Company acquired Fantasy in November 2000. All cost of sales in
2001 relate to Fantasy.
Selling, General and Administrative Expenses
Selling, general and administrative expenses for the year ended June 30, 2001
increased by $1.21 million to $3.06 million as compared to $1.84 million for the
fiscal year ended June 30, 2000. This increase is primarily due to the
acquisition of Fantasy.
Amortization of Intangibles
Amortization of intangibles decreased from $0.73 million in fiscal 2000 to $0.37
million in fiscal 2001. This decrease is primarily due to elimination of
non-competition agreements in 2000, which were written off, with the sale of
Lifestyle. The amortization expense in 2001 was primarily related to goodwill
and customer lists from the purchase of Fantasy.
Depreciation
Depreciation charge relates to minor office equipment, furniture and computer
equipment. This increase is primarily due to the acquisition of Fantasy.
Foreign Currency Loss
Foreign currency loss of $1.04 million represents the loss realized on the net
assets of First South Africa Holdings (Pty) Ltd (FSAH), that remain denominated
in South African Rand, primarily cash, certain inter-company balances and notes
receivable offset by realized currency hedging profits. Since the divestiture of
Lifestyle, the Company began recognizing translation gains or losses on the
exposure of net assets and liabilities denominated in South African Rand, within
the results of operations. The prior year's foreign currency loss of $80
thousand represents the loss realized on the repayment and the translation of
the current account between FSAH and the Company.
Interest in Losses of Affiliates
The Company owned a 48% stake in Magnolia Broadband and a 51% stake in
HotelSupplyGroup.com. Both of these companies are start-up ventures, which have
only incurred expenses to date. The charge of $1.92 million represents the
Company's equity accounted share of the operating losses for the period and a
reserve of $0.25 million of a loan made to Magnolia Broadband. During 2000, the
Company's management ceased funding Hotelsupply Goup, Inc. As a result it
discontinued operations in April 2001. The remaining investment of $5,000 was
written off. No recovery is expected.
Other Income
Other income primarily represents the release of obligations from a previously
sold subsidiary.
-11-
Preference Dividend
The preference dividend on the mandatory redeemable preference shares declared
during fiscal year 2001 was $.17 million. During prior years, the preference
dividend on the mandatory redeemable preference shares has been accrued on a
time proportion basis as the agreement to pay preference dividends provides for
two options, the first being that the dividend payable must be based on the
ordinary dividend declared by Lifestyle, or the second option must increase by a
minimum of 25% percent over the prior year. The first option is payable three
days after receipt of the Lifestyle dividend, the second option is payable on
February 19, of each calendar year. Since no Lifestyle preference dividend was
declared during the prior fiscal year, the dividend of $0.17 million represents
the time proportion of the dividend payable as of February 19, 2001 through the
date of the sale of Lifestyle. The mandatory redeemable preference shares were
redeemed with the sale of Lifestyle.
Interest Income (Expense)
Interest income has increased by $2.34 million from net interest expense of
$1.36 million to net interest income of $0.98 million. The decrease in interest
expense is due to the early retirement of convertible debt at a discount. The
balance of the movement was made on interest earned on cash balances; the
Company had significant cash resources throughout the year as compared to the
previous fiscal year due to the sale of Lifestyle.
Provision for Income Taxes
The Company is registered in Bermuda, where no tax laws are applicable. Two of
the Company's subsidiaries are subject to income taxes. Up to this date, neither
has had taxable income. Both have incurred losses for tax purposes. The deferred
tax asset generated by the tax losses and temporary differences have been fully
reserved for.
Discontinued Operations
The loss from discontinued operations decreased from $34.43 million in 2000 to
$2.39 million in 2001. The primary reason for the decrease is the completion of
the sale of the Lifestyle business in November 2000 and the inclusion of the LPI
business segment, which was put under voluntary administration in 2000. As a
result, no additional losses from discontinued operations were recorded after
the sale of Lifestyle or the voluntary administration of LPI. Additional losses
related to any remaining South African assets after the sale are included in
continuing operations. Translation losses on the net assets denominated in South
African Rand were recognized in discontinued operations up through the sale date
of Lifestyle.
Extraordinary Item
The Company negotiated agreements with three lenders to retire $11.70 million of
debentures at face plus accrued interest. As a result, the Company recorded a
gain on previously accreted sinking fund interest of $2.14 million in the 2001.
No such transaction occurred in 2000.
Net Loss
As a result of the above the Company has achieved a loss of $5.26 million as
compared to a loss of $38.66 million in the prior year.
Financial condition, liquidity and capital resources
Cash decreased by $3.01 million from $5.66 million at June 30, 2001 to $2.65
million at June 30, 2002. The decrease in cash in excess of the operating losses
is a result of the repayment of the Company's long term debt, its investment in
Magnolia Broadband and the reduction of payables by the Company and its
subsidiaries. The balance of the remaining cash is being held for working
capital purposes. The Company expects this balance to be sufficient to fund its
operations and the operations of its subsidiaries for the next twelve months.
During the next twelve months, it also anticipates the commencement of
-12-
repayment of notes receivable due to it from the sale of First Lifestyle
Holdings in South Africa. However, repayment is contingent on the borrower's
collection of Junior debt.
Working capital decreased by $2.57 million from $4.25 million at June 30, 2001
to $1.68 million at June 30, 2002. This is primarily due to the losses incurred
by the Company's operating subsidiaries.
At June 30, 2002, the Company had borrowings of $0.16 million, which consisted
of $0.10 million advances against lines of credit and $0.06 million of equipment
loans.
The Company has guaranteed certain bank facilities of some of its former
industrial subsidiaries in South Africa. Currently, these guarantees amount to
approximately $0.90 million and are secured by like amounts of cash. The Company
has reduced these guarantees from approximately $1.20 million as of June 30,
2001 and will try to further reduce these guarantees. In the event that these
guarantees are called, the Company has recourse to certain assets of these
subsidiaries, which should substantially cover the Company's potential exposure.
The Company intends to work on building its existing portfolio of subsidiaries
in terms of revenues and profitability. It may also acquire further synergistic
businesses and may therefore utilize a portion of its remaining cash balances
and the proceeds of its disposal of Lifestyle to fund this strategy to the
extent that suitable acquisition candidates can be identified. The Company may
be required to incur additional indebtedness or equity financing in connection
with the funding of future acquisitions. There is no assurance that the Company
will be able to secure additional indebtedness or raise additional equity to
finance future acquisitions on terms acceptable to management, if at all.
Goodwill Impairment Test
We acquired Fantasy Sports, Inc. in November 2000. At the time our strategy was
to aggressively expand the business by increasing our marketing in the auto
racing segment and developing new games for other niche sports markets. To this
end, we hired new staff and increased our marketing and development budgets as
well. This strategy was not successful, primarily due to the economic slowdown
and as a result, Fantasy has incurred losses since we made this acquisition.
During the seven months ended June 30, 2001, Fantasy lost $1,320,000 and had
negative cash flow of $268,000. For the twelve months ended June 30, 2002,
Fantasy lost $1,135,000 with negative cash flow of $566,000.
Due to the accounting recognition of these losses, the carrying value of Fantasy
has diminished since acquisition. On June 30, 2002, we performed an impairment
test on the carrying value of Fantasy's goodwill. In accordance with SFAS 142,
we compared the fair value of Fanatasy (as a reporting unit) to the carrying
value of Fantasy including goodwill. The methodology we used to determine fair
value was to develop a ratio of revenue to market capitalization utilizing the
Company and a comparable publicly traded company in the same industry. This
ratio was then applied to Fantasy's revenue to determine fair value. The fair
value exceeded Fantasy's carrying value, and therefore, no impairment of
goodwill existed at June 30, 2002.
We will continue to monitor the carrying values of Fantasy and will use the same
methodology on a consistent basis in the future. Should our efforts to stem the
losses at Fantasy not succeed and losses and negative cash flow continue, we may
be faced with goodwill impairment losses for Fantasy in the future.
We will be evaluating the carrying value of the goodwill of Student Sports, Inc.
at the end of the second quarter of fiscal 2003, on the first anniversary of
that acquisition.
-13-
Future commitments
Through June 30, 2002, Fantasy and Student Sports, the Company's operating
subsidiaries, had incurred net losses. The Company anticipates that this
situation will be rectified through a combination of expense reductions and
increased revenues. However, there are no assurances that these changes will be
successful. In the event that these plans are not successful, the Company may
need to continue to support the operations of its subsidiaries.
The Company intends to bring its operating subsidiaries to profitability and to
preserve its cash balances to the best of its ability. The Company anticipates
continued repayments from the notes receivable from the sale of certain of its
South African subsidiaries.
Critical Accounting Policies
The following is a discussion of the accounting policies that the Company
believes are critical to its operations:
Revenues
Revenues generated by Fantasy are seasonal from mid-February to the end of
November. Fantasy collects its revenue at the beginning and mid-point of the
season and recognizes this deferred revenue pro rata over the season. Student
Sports recognizes subscription revenue over the life of the subscription. For
event-type revenue, revenue is recognized over the course of the contract in
proportion to the expenses for the period compared to total expenses anticipated
for the specific event. Revenues from television sports shows produced by
Student Sports for television stations are recognized when the show is aired.
Student Sports, while somewhat less affected by seasonal factors, generates less
revenues in the December quarter than during the rest of the year.
Goodwill
The Company adopted SFAS 142 during fiscal 2002 and no longer amortizes
goodwill. The Company tests goodwill for impairment in the fourth quarter for
Fantasy Sports, Inc. The goodwill impairment test for Student Sports, Inc. and
subsequent acquisitions will be performed on the one year anniversary of the
acquisition and in that period thereafter. The Company performs the impairment
test in accordance with SFAS 142 "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets." SFAS
142 requires that the fair value of the reporting unit be compared to the
carrying value, including goodwill, as the first step in the impairment test.
The Company determines fair value for Fantasy by developing a ratio of revenue
to market capitalization utilizing the Company and comparable publicly traded
companies in the same industry and applying this ratio to revenue of the
reporting unit.
Intangible Assets
Intangible assets include trademarks, customer lists and other intellectual
property and non-competition agreements. Intangible assets, excluding goodwill,
are stated on the basis of cost and are amortized on a straight-line basis over
a period of three to ten years. Intangible assets with infinite lives are not
amortized but are evaluated for impairment annually unless circumstances dictate
otherwise. Management periodically reviews intangible assets for impairment
based on an assessment of undiscounted future cash flows, which are compared to
the carrying value of the intangible assets. Should these cash flows not equate
to or exceed the carrying value of the intangible, a discounted cash flow model
is used to determine the extent of any impairment charge required.
ITEM 7A QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
The Company does not ordinarily hold market risk sensitive instruments for
trading purposes. The company does however recognize market risk from interest
rate and foreign currency exchange exposure.
Interest rate risk
At June 30, 2002, the Company's cash resources earn interest at variable rates.
Accordingly, the Company's return on these funds is affected by fluctuations in
interest rates. Any decrease in interest rates will have a negative effect on
the Company's earnings. There is no assurance that interest rates will increase
or decrease over the next fiscal year.
Foreign currency risk
Certain of the Company's cash balances and the remaining proceeds from the sale
of its South African subsidiaries are denominated in South African Rand. This
exposes the Company to market risk with respect to fluctuations in the relative
value of the South African Rand against the US Dollar. Due to the prohibitive
cost of hedging these proceeds, the exposure has not been covered as yet. Should
more favorable conditions arise, a suitable Rand hedge may be considered by
management. For every 1% decline in the Rand/US Dollar exchange rate, at
year-end exchange rates, the Company loses $958 on every R1,000,000 retained in
South Africa. During fiscal 2002, the South African Rand has depreciated against
the US dollar by approximately 29% from the rate at June 30, 2001. At June 30,
2002, the Company had assets denominated in South African Rand of R50.90
million.
The following is information concerning assets denominated in South African Rand
and the foreign currency gains and losses recognized during fiscal 2002:

SILVERSTAR HOLDINGS LIMITED AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
JUNE 30, 2002, 2001 AND 2000
NOTE 1. ORGANIZATION AND PRINCIPAL ACTIVITIES OF THE GROUP
Silverstar Holdings Limited (formerly Leisureplanet Holdings Ltd.) (the
"Company"), was founded on September 6, 1995. The purpose of the Company has
changed from acquiring and operating South African Companies to investing in
companies that fit a predefined investment strategy.
On November 17, 2000, the Company acquired Fantasy Sports, Inc. ("Fantasy").
Fantasy specializes in Internet-based subscriptions for NASCAR, college football
and basketball and other fantasy sports games and sale of die-cast racing cars.
On September 24, 2001, the Company acquired Student Sports, Inc. ("Student
Sports"), a media company producing publications, television programs and
various marketing initiatives for the high school sports market (see Note 3).
Additional investments have been made in other companies, which are in line with
the Company's new focus (see Note 7).
Discontinued Operations
The original investment made in Leisureplanet.com ("LPI"), the Internet travel
related services company, has been unsuccessful due to a lack of further
investor funding. Therefore, on August 2, 2000, LPI was placed under voluntary
administration in the United Kingdom and subsequently liquidated (see Note 15).
In addition to LPI, First Lifestyle Holdings Limited ("Lifestyle"), the products
segment, was also discontinued in line with the shift in strategy of the holding
company. This segment was involved in the manufacture, sale and distribution of
lifestyle enhancing products, which included both consumable food products and
semi-durable outdoor and indoor products (see Note 15).
NOTE 2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States and incorporate
the following significant accounting policies:
Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and
all of its subsidiaries in which it has a majority voting interest. Investments
in affiliates are accounted for under either the equity or cost method of
accounting, where appropriate. All significant inter-company accounts and
transactions have been eliminated in the consolidated financial statements. The
entities included in these consolidated financial statements are as follows:
Silverstar Holdings, Ltd. (Parent Company)
Silverstar Holdings, Inc.
First South African Management Corp.
First South African Holdings, Ltd. (FSAH)
Fantasy Sports, Inc.
Student Sports, Inc.
F-9
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates
and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities,
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.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents consist of cash and all highly liquid investments with
original maturities of three months or less.
Concentrations of Credit and Market Risks
Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of
credit and market risk are comprised of cash and cash equivalents and notes
receivable.
Cash
The Company currently maintains a substantial amount of cash and
cash equivalents with financial institutions in South Africa
denominated in South African Rand. Changes in the value of the
Rand compared to the U.S. dollar can have an unfavorable impact
on the value of the cash and cash equivalents. In addition, these
financial instruments are not subject to credit insurance.
Notes Receivable
The Company's notes receivable are to be settled in South African
Rand by South African companies. The Company's ability to collect
on these notes may be affected by economic conditions in South
Africa and the value of the South African Rand, as compared to
the U.S. dollar. In addition, the Company's ability to withdraw
these funds from South Africa after collection is restricted and
may be subject to approval by the South African government.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The carrying value of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable and
accounts payable approximate fair value due to the short-term nature of these
instruments. The carrying value of long-term notes receivable approximates fair
values since interest rates are keyed to the South African prime lending rate.
Inventories
Inventories are valued at the lower of cost or market with cost determined on
the first-in, first-out method.
Property, Plant and Equipment
Property, plant and equipment is recorded at cost. Depreciation is provided
using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets.
Equipment is depreciated over 3 to 10 years. Leasehold improvements are
amortized over the terms of the related leases.
Software Developed for Internal Use
As a result of the acquisition of Fantasy in November 2000, the Company has
adopted the provisions of AICPA Statement of Position (SOP) 98-1 "Accounting for
the Costs of Computer Software Developed and Obtained for Internal Use". SOP
98-1 requires the capitalization of all internal and external costs incurred to
develop internal use software during the application development stage. Fantasy
operates its fantasy league through the use of software the company develops.
Fantasy develops software to run its fantasy games; however, such costs were not
significant during fiscal 2002 or 2001.
F-10
Goodwill
The Company tests goodwill for impairment in the fourth quarter for Fantasy
Sports, Inc. The goodwill impairment test for Student Sports, Inc. and
subsequent acquisitions will be performed on the one year anniversary of the
acquisition and in that period thereafter. The Company performs the impairment
test in accordance with SFAS 142 "GOODWILL AND OTHER INTANGIBLE ASSETS." SFAS
142 requires that the fair value of the reporting unit be compared to the
carrying value, including goodwill, as the first step in the impairment test.
The Company determines fair value for Fantasy by developing a ratio of revenue
to market capitalization utilizing the Company and comparable publicly traded
companies in the same industry and applying this ratio to revenue of the
reporting unit.
Intangible Assets
Intangible assets include trademarks, customer lists, patents and trademarks and
other intellectual property and non-competition agreements. Intangible assets,
excluding goodwill, are stated on the basis of cost and are amortized on a
straight-line basis over a period of three to ten years. Intangible assets with
indefinite lives are not amortized but are evaluated for impairment annually
unless circumstances dictate otherwise. Management periodically reviews
intangible assets for impairment based on an assessment of undiscounted future
cash flows, which are compared to the carrying value of the intangible assets.
Should these cash flows not equate to or exceed the carrying value of the
intangible, a discounted cash flow model is used to determine the extent of any
impairment charge required. Customer lists are amortized over a period of three
to ten years. The patents, trademarks intellectual property and non-compete
agreements related to discontinued operations were amortized over a period of
three to twenty five years, up to the time of their disposal (see Note 15).
Foreign Currency Translation
The functional currency of the Company is the United States Dollar; the
functional currency of First South African Holdings, Ltd. (FSAH) is the South
African Rand. Accordingly, the following rates of exchange have been used for
translation purposes:
Assets and liabilities are translated into United States Dollars using exchange
rates at the balance sheet date. Common stock and additional paid-in capital are
translated into United States Dollars using historical rates at date of
issuance. Revenue, if any, and expenses are translated into United States
Dollars using the weighted average exchange rates for each year. The resultant
translation adjustments are reported in the statement of operations since FSAH
has sold all its operating subsidiaries.
Revenues
Revenues generated by Fantasy are seasonal from mid-February to the end of
November. Fantasy collects its revenue at the beginning and mid-point of the
season and recognizes this deferred revenue pro rata over the season. Student
Sports recognizes subscription revenue over the life of the subscription. For
event-type revenue, revenue is recognized over the course of the contract in
proportion to the expenses for the period compared to total expenses anticipated
for the specific event. Revenues from television sports shows produced by
Student Sports for television stations are recognized when the show is aired.
Student Sports, while somewhat less affected by seasonal factors, generates less
revenues in the December quarter than during the rest of the year.
Advertising Costs
Advertising costs are expensed as incurred. Advertising costs incurred for the
years ended June 30, 2002 and 2001 was $452,427 and $591,894, respectively.
Advertising costs incurred for the year ended June 30, 2000 is included in
discontinued operations.
Income Taxes
The Company accounts for its income taxes using SFAS No. 109, "ACCOUNTING FOR
INCOME TAXES", which requires the recognition of deferred tax liabilities and
assets for expected future tax consequences of events that have been included in
the financial statements or tax returns. Under this method, deferred tax
F-11
liabilities and assets are determined based on the difference between the
financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities using enacted tax
rates in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to reverse.
Stock-based Compensation
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123, "ACCOUNTING FOR STOCK-BASED
COMPENSATION" ("SFAS No. 123"), encourages but does not require companies to
record stock-based compensation plans using a fair value based method. The
Company has chosen to continue to account for stock-based compensation using the
intrinsic value based method prescribed in Accounting Principles Board Opinion
No. 25, "ACCOUNTING FOR STOCK ISSUED TO Employees." Accordingly, compensation
cost for stock options is measured as the excess, if any, of the quoted market
price of the Company's common stock at the date of the grant over the amount an
employee must pay to acquire the stock.
Net Loss Per Share
Basic net loss per share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted
average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted net loss per share is
computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of common shares
outstanding and dilutive potential common shares which includes the dilutive
effect of stock options, warrants, convertible debentures and shares to be
issued in connection with the acquisition of Student Sports (see Note 3).
Dilutive potential common shares for all periods presented are computed
utilizing the treasury stock method. The dilutive effect of shares to be issued
in connection with the acquisition of Student Sports is computed using the
average market price for the quarter. The diluted share base for the years ended
June 30, 2002, 2001 and 2000 excludes shares of 1,737,910, 261,092 and
2,997,230, respectively. These shares are excluded due to their anti-dilutive
effect as a result of the Company's loss from continuing operations during 2002,
2001 and 2000.
Reclassifications
Certain items in the prior year financial statements have been reclassified to
conform to the current period presentation.
Recently Issued Accounting Standards
In June 2001, the FASB issued SFAS 141, "BUSINESS COMBINATIONS", which requires
all business combinations initiated after June 30, 2001 to be accounted for
under the purchase method. SFAS 141 also sets forth guidelines for applying the
purchase method of accounting in the determination of intangible assets,
including goodwill acquired in a business combination, and expands financial
disclosures concerning business combinations consummated after June 30, 2001.
The application of SFAS 141 did not affect any of the Company's previously
reported amounts included in goodwill or other intangible assets.
Effective July 1, 2001, the Company adopted SFAS 142, "GOODWILL AND OTHER
INTANGIBLE ASSETS", which establishes new accounting and reporting requirements
for goodwill and other intangible assets. Under SFAS 142, all goodwill
amortization ceased effective July 1, 2001 (goodwill amortization for fiscal
2002 otherwise would have been $821,098) and recorded goodwill attributable to
Fantasy Sports, Inc. was tested for impairment. This impairment test is required
to be performed at adoption of SFAS 142 and at least annually thereafter. On an
ongoing basis (absent any impairment indicators), the Company expects to perform
this impairment test during the fourth quarter for Fantasy Sports. For the
acquisition of Student Sports, Inc. and any subsequent acquisitions which are
considered reporting units under SFAS 142, the impairment test will be performed
on the one year anniversary of the acquisition and in that period thereafter.
Based on the initial impairment test on July 1, 2001, it was determined that
none of the goodwill recorded was impaired. Impairment adjustments recognized
after adoption, if any, generally are required to be
F-12
recognized as operating expenses. The Company performed the impairment test on
goodwill of Fantasy Sports as of June 30, 2002 and determined that goodwill was
not impaired.
In connection with adopting SFAS 142, the useful lives and the classification of
identifiable intangible assets was reassessed and it was determined that they
continue to be appropriate. For the components of amortized intangible assets
and pro forma results of operations for fiscal 2001 and 2000 giving effect to
the adoption of SFAS 142, see Note 9.
In June 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Statement
of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 143, "ACCOUNTING FOR ASSET
RETIREMENT OBLIGATIONS". SFAS 143 requires entities to record the fair value of
a liability for an asset retirement obligation in the period in which it is
incurred. The statement requires that the amount recorded as a liability be
capitalized by increasing the carrying amount of the related long-lived asset.
Subsequent to initial measurement, the liability is accreted to the ultimate
amount anticipated to be paid, and is also adjusted for revisions to the timing
or amount of estimated cash flows. The capitalized cost is depreciated over the
useful life of the related asset. Upon settlement of the liability, an entity
either settles the obligation for its recorded amount or incurs a gain or loss
upon settlement. SFAS 143 will be effective for the Company's financial
statements beginning July 1, 2002, with earlier application encouraged. The
Company believes that the adoption of this statement will not have a significant
impact on the results of operations or financial position of the Company.
In August 2001, the FASB issued SFAS No. 144, "ACCOUNTING FOR THE IMPAIRMENT OR
DISPOSAL OF LONG-LIVED ASSETS." This statement provides a single comprehensive
accounting model for impairment of long-lived assets and discontinued
operations. SFAS 144 will become effective in the first quarter of fiscal 2003.
The Company believes that adoption of this statement will not have a significant
impact on the results of operations or financial position of the Company.
In June 2002, the FASB issued SFAS No. 146 "ACCOUNTING FOR COSTS ASSOCIATED WITH
EXIT OR DISPOSAL ACTIVITIES." This statement addresses financial accounting and
reporting for costs associated with exit or disposal activities. SFAS 146 will
become effective in the third quarter of fiscal 2003. The Company believes that
the adoption of this statement will not have a significant impact on the results
of operations or financial position of the Company.
NOTE 3. ACQUISITIONS
On September 24, 2001, the Company acquired all the assets and business and
assumed certain liabilities of Student Sports, a media company producing
publications, television programs and various marketing initiatives for the high
school sports market. Under the terms of the agreement, the Company issued
900,000 Company common shares to the owners of Student Sports, and undertook to
provide a further payment, as defined, of between 500,000 and 1,500,000 shares
of Company common stock on March 31, 2004. In addition, the agreement calls for
certain potential earn-outs of 33% of the pre-tax profits of Student Sports for
the years ending December 31, 2002 and 2003, as defined. This earn-out, which
cannot exceed $500,000, is to be paid no later than April 30, 2004. Finally, the
seller is to receive 33% of certain litigation proceeds, as defined, if received
by the Company. As of June 30, 2002, no earn-out had been earned and no
litigation proceeds have been received.
The assets and liabilities are to be held in a new wholly-owned subsidiary,
Student Sports, Inc. ("Student Sports") and will be reported as a new operating
segment titled marketing services (see Note 18). The results of operations of
Student Sports were included in the consolidated financial statements starting
October 1, 2001.
F-13
The costs of the acquisition were allocated on the basis of the estimated fair
values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed. These estimates are
subject to revision as better information becomes available. The acquisition was
accounted for as a purchase. The intangible assets identified in connection with
the acquisition were recorded (and amortized where applicable) in accordance
with the provisions of SFAS No. 142.

In October 2001, the Company received $200,000 in cash and approximately
$305,000 reduction in accounts payable primarily related to the acquisition of
Fantasy Sports from Action Performance. The cash amount, which had been held in
escrow, relates to settlement of a dispute related to the acquisition of Fantasy
regarding certain disclosures made by Action at the time of acquisition and has
been used to reduce goodwill. Of the $305,000, $130,000 was used to reduce

HotelSupplyGroup.com
On July 13, 1999 the Company organized a new company, HotelSupplyGroup.Com
Limited ("HSG"), with Intercommerce Trading Limited. HSG is 51% owned by the
Company and 49% by Intercommerce Trading limited. However, the Company does not
have a majority voting interest; therefore, HSG has been accounted for under the
equity method in the consolidated financial statements. A stockholder's loan of
$250,000 was advanced to HSG as initial funding. As of June 30, 2001, the
Company's investment in HSG was reduced to zero due to uncertainty surrounding
its recoverability. HSG was subsequently liquidated.
F-16
Magnolia Broadband, Inc.
On April 14, 2000, the Company purchased 3,447,774 shares of Series A Preferred
stock in Magnolia Broadband ("Magnolia"), with voting rights representing a 48%
interest in Magnolia, for a consideration of $2,500,000, $1,300,000 of which was
recorded as goodwill. The goodwill relating to the Company's investment in
Magnolia was being amortized over a three-year period. Effective July 1, 2001,
the Company adopted SFAS 142 (see Note 2) at which time the unamortized balance
was $831,066. Such goodwill is no longer being amortized and at June 30, 2002,
such goodwill was not considered impaired.
On March 9, 2001, the Company loaned Magnolia $250,000. This loan is convertible
into the type of equity security Magnolia sells in its next private placement.
In connection with this loan, Magnolia issued the Company warrants to acquire
250,000 shares of Magnolia's common stock at an exercise price of $1.00 per
share. The warrants expire on March 9, 2006. The value of the warrants at the
date of issuance was not considered significant. At June 30, 2001, the Company
provided a full valuation allowance relating this $250,000 loan.
In October 2001, the Company loaned Magnolia $200,000, which was convertible
into newly reclassified Series A Preferred Stock. As part of the consideration
for the Notes, the Company will exchange its existing convertible notes for new
Series A Preferred shares. This note and the above note were converted into new
Series A Preferred Stock in March 2002 (see below).
On March 21, 2002, Magnolia entered into an agreement whereby it raised $6
million from three institutional investors. The agreement calls for an immediate
infusion of $3 million, with an additional $3 million committed, but contingent
on Magnolia reaching defined technical milestones. As a result of this
agreement, the Company has exchanged its existing shares in Magnolia for new
Series A Preferred shares and has converted the October 2001 loan into these new
Series A Preferred shares as well. The Company's ownership percentage has been
reduced to approximately 13% and will further reduce should the second tranche
of financing be realized, as well as any exercise of outstanding Magnolia
employee stock options. On a fully diluted basis, the Company's percentage in
Magnolia will be reduced to approximately 7%. Effective at the time that the
Company's ownership percentage was reduced below 20%, the Company was accounting
for their investment in Magnolia under the cost method. While Magnolia is
confident that it can meet the defined technical milestones to obtain the
additional funding, there is no assurance that this will occur. Furthermore,
there is no assurance that the full amount will be sufficient for Magnolia to
fund its future operations until it achieves revenues and profitability.
NOTE 8. LONG-TERM NOTES RECEIVABLE
In connection with the sale of Lifestyle, which was completed in November 2000,
as well as the earlier sale of two other subsidiaries, the Company received as
partial consideration three notes denominated in South African Rand. These notes
are subject to foreign currency risk and a portion of one is subject to certain
performance requirements of the obligee. Two notes require principal payments
ranging from R175,000 to R184,000 through June 30, 2003. The third note was for
R52 million of which R20 million (plus accrued interest of $346,231) has been
treated as contingent consideration to be recorded when collected. The remaining
R32 million is payable to the extent the borrower collects on Junior debt.
Collections of Junior debt will be first charged against accrued interest and
the excess applied to the receivable balance not to exceed tranches of R500,000.
Management does not expect to receive payments on these notes until the third
quarter of fiscal 2003. These notes bear interest at rates based on the South
African prime rate (at June 30, 2002 the rate was 11.35%). Notes receivable
include accrued interest of approximately $554,000.

NOTE 15. DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS
First Lifestyle Holdings Limited ("Lifestyle")
During 2000, the Company changed its focus away from investing in South African
based industries. Although Lifestyle had performed well over the past few years,
it no longer fit the Company's investment strategy. On June 21, 2000 the Company
received an offer from Lifestyle management to buy Lifestyle from the Company.
The Company accepted the offer on September 26, 2000 at a general meeting of
Lifestyle stockholders, which has been approved by the South African competition
authorities.
On August 14, 2000, the Company sold an effective 13.7% interest in Lifestyle to
the existing Lifestyle management as part of the plan to dispose of the
Lifestyle segment. This sale was done on the same terms and conditions as the
offer made by management to the remaining stockholders as contained in a
circular to Lifestyle stockholders dated September 4, 2000.
Regulatory approval was obtained from the South African Monopolies Commission on
October 12, 2000. Proceeds from the sale were received on November 6, 2000.
Excluded from the proceeds below are R20 million of a R52 million note
(denominated in South African Rand) from Salwin Investments (Pty.) Ltd. (a South
African company formed for the acquisition of Lifestyle). The note accrues
interest and contains

LPI was placed under voluntary administration in the United Kingdom. On August

NOTE 19. STOCK OPTION PLAN
The Board of Directors has adopted the Company's 1995 Stock Option Plan. The
Stock Option Plan provides for the grant of (i) options that are intended to
qualify as incentive stock options ("Incentive Stock Options") within the
meaning of Section 422 of the Internal Revenue Code to key employees and (ii)
options not so intended to qualify ("Nonqualified Stock Options") to key
employees (including directors and officers who are employees of the Company and
to directors).
The Stock Option Plan is administered by the Compensation Committee of the Board
of Directors. The committee shall determine the terms of the options exercised,
including the exercise price, the number of
F-26
shares subject to the option and the terms and conditions of exercise. No
options granted under the Stock Option Plan are transferable by the optionee
other than by the will or the laws of descent and distribution.
The exercise price of Incentive Stock Options granted under the plan must be at
least equal to the fair market value of such shares on the date of the grant
(110% of fair market value in the case of an optionee who owns or is deemed to
own more than 10% of the voting rights of the outstanding capital stock of the
Company or any of its subsidiaries). The maximum term for each Incentive Stock
Option granted is ten years (five years in the case of an optionee who owns or
is deemed to own more than 10% of the voting rights of the outstanding capital
stock of the Company or any of its subsidiaries). Options shall be exercisable
at such times and in such installments as the committee shall provide in the
terms of each individual option. The maximum number of shares for which options
may be granted to any individual in any fiscal year is 210,000.
The Stock Option Plan also contains an automatic option grant program for the
employee and non-employee Directors. Each person who is an employee director of
the Company following an annual meeting of shareholders will automatically be
granted an option for an additional 5,000 shares of common stock; non-employee
directors will receive an option for an additional 10,000 shares of common
stock. Each grant will have an exercise price per share equal to the fair market
value of the common stock on the grant date and will have a term of five years
measured from the grant date, subject to earlier termination if an optionee's
service as a board member is terminated for cause.
The Company, through June 30, 2002, has granted options to purchase 876,666
shares of common stock under the Plan, of which 110,000 options have been
exercised.
The options issued under the plan still outstanding are reflected in the table
below.

The Company has also issued options to an employee to acquire 4.45 shares of
Fantasy common stock for $47,191 per share. These options vest immediately and
have a life of three years. The fair value of this option utilizing the Black
Scholes option pricing model amounted to $6,451 per share. The assumptions used
in this model were as follows: risk-free interest rate 4.96%; expected life 3
years; expected volatility 0.0%; and expected dividend yield of 0.0%. This
option has a remaining life of 2.3 years.
The Company measures compensation cost for its stock option plan using the
intrinsic value based method of accounting.
Had the Company used the fair value-based method of accounting to measure
compensation expense for its stock option grants and charged compensation cost
against income over the vesting periods based on the fair value of options at
the date of the grant, income from continuing operations and the related diluted

NOTE 20. WARRANTS OUTSTANDING
In consideration for the capital raising activities undertaken during 2000, the
Company issued warrants to purchase 150,000 shares of common stock at an
exercise price of $0.01 per share.
In accordance with the terms of an agreement entered into with Infospace, the
Company undertook to issue warrants over 720,000 shares of common stock valued
at $5.00 per share. Infospace was to provide services to the Leisureplanet.com
subsidiary in exchange for the Company increasing its holding in
Leisureplanet.com equal to the value placed on the warrants. These warrants have
an exercise price of $0.01 per share. As of June 30, 2000, 480,000 of these
warrants have vested and 240,000 were issued. Since the operations of
Leisureplanet.com were closed and the Infospace services ceased, no further
options have been issued.
During fiscal 2000, 25,000 of the debenture warrants and 57,811 of the Class A
Redeemable warrants were exercised.
During fiscal 2001, the Company issued 50,000 warrants to a consultant for
services provided valued at $34,326.
Also during fiscal 2001, Fantasy issued warrants to acquire 4.68 shares of
Fantasy common stock with an exercise price of $47,191 per share to TWI

NOTE 21. FANTASY ESCROW AGREEMENT
In November 2000, in connection with the acquisition of Fantasy, the Company
entered into an Escrow Agreement with the Seller. The Company deposited $250,000
with the escrow agent to secure various obligations of the Seller on the terms,
and subject to the conditions, set forth in the Asset Purchase Agreement. Escrow
funds may be released from time to time within twelve months and after the
Company has given written notice of claim and such claim has been approved by
the Seller. As of June 30, 2002, $200,000 was repaid to the Company from escrow
funds.
NOTE 22. FIRST SOUTH AFRICAN HOLDINGS ESCROW AGREEMENT
The FSAH Escrow Agreement was executed prior to the closing of the Company's
offering and provided for the concurrent issuance and delivery of 729,979 shares
of Class B common stock to the FSAH escrow agent. The FSAH Escrow Agreement is
intended to provide security for the holders of FSAH Class B common stock, who
are residents in South Africa and are prohibited in terms of South African law
from holding shares in a foreign company. The FSAH Escrow Agreement provides
that the parties to this agreement that are holders of FSAH Class B common stock
will not sell such shares of stock, but may tender the shares to the FSAH escrow
agent against payment therefore by the escrow agent, which payment may consist
of the proceeds obtained from the sale of an equal number of Class B common
stock of the Company, provided that the proceeds of the sale will be delivered
to the holder of the Class B common stock in exchange for the shares in FSAH.
These shares will be tendered to the Company and they will be immediately
converted to FSAH Class A common stock.
Since the consummation of the Company's offering in January 1996, the Company
has entered into FSAC Escrow Agreements with the FSAH escrow agent, FSAH and
certain principal stockholders of the Company's subsidiaries, which were
acquired since January 1996. The terms of the FSAC Escrow Agreement are
substantially similar to the terms of the FSAH Escrow Agreement, except that the
FSAH Escrow Agreement provided for the issue of shares of Class B common stock
to the FSAH escrow agent while the FSAC Escrow Agreements provide for the issue
of shares of common stock to the FSAH escrow agent which correspond to the
issuance of FSAH Class B common stock by FSAH.
In 2000, an additional 120,621 shares of common stock were issued to the FSAH
escrow agent in terms of the FSAC Escrow agreements entered into, in connection
with the acquisition of Gull Foods.
No further shares of common stock are to be issued in terms of FSAC or FSAH
escrow agreements.
In terms of the agreements entered into with the previous vendors of Piemans
Pantry, Seemann's Quality Meat Products, Gull Foods and Fifers Bakery, the
underlying value of the FSAC escrow stock was underpinned at certain minimum
values. The previous vendors had the option to put the shares to the Company at
those values, which was obligated to honor the minimum values placed on those
shares. These vendors exercised this option during 1999, which resulted in the
redemption and cancellation of 1,583,059 FSAC A class common stock.
There are no further stock price warranties outstanding.

NOTE 23. COMMITMENTS, CONTINGENCIES AND OTHER MATTERS
PROFITABILITY AND LIQUIDITY
As reflected in the accompanying consolidated financial statements, the Company
has incurred significant operating losses and experienced negative operating
cash flows in recent years. With a view towards achieving profitability and
improving liquidity, management has adopted, and is in the process of
implementing, the following three strategies:
o seek corporate sponsorships for the internet fantasy sports gaming
segment to diversify its revenue streams while focusing on its core
motor sports niche;
o cost effectively leverage various media platforms to access new
subscription based product and content offerings for the marketing
services segment;
o reduce overhead of the operating subsidiaries and continue to look for
areas in which further cost savings can be obtained.
Management believes that its present financial resources are sufficient to meet
its obligations for the ensuing twelve months. In addition to cash of
approximately $2.7 million at June 30, 2002, the Company expects to begin
collecting on an outstanding note receivable due from the sale of First
Lifestyle Holdings in March 2003, which will provide additional resources.
Management believes that the actions presently being taken by the Company will
achieve profitability and improve liquidity. However, there can be no assurance
that management's plans will be successful or that the Company will be
profitable in the future.
LEASES
The Company leases office facilities and various equipment under non-cancelable
operating leases expiring through January 2006. Office facility and equipment
rent expense for the year ended June 30, 2002 and 2001 was approximately
$249,000 and $88,000, respectively. Office and equipment lease expense in the
year ended June 30, 2000 was not significant.
Approximate future minimum lease payments under non-cancelable office and
equipment lease agreements are as follows:
Year ending June 30:
2003 $ 209,800
2004 41,300
2005 20,300
2006 2,600
---------
$ 274,000
LITIGATION
First South Africa Holdings (FSAH), our South African subsidiary, has received
notice of a claim for approximately $250,000 from a holder of FSAH Class B
shares. The claimant contends a breach of their FSAH escrow agreement issued in
connection with the sale of their business in 1997. We believe this claim is
without merit and FSAH will vigorously defend this matter.
The Company, from time to time, is involved in various litigation arising in the
ordinary course of business. Based on currently available information,
management believes that the resolution of pending claims will not have a
material adverse effect on the Companies' operating results or financial
position.

The Company has guaranteed the banking facilities of certain of its subsidiaries
previously disposed of during the prior year. These guarantees amounted to
$900,000 as of June 30, 2002. These guarantees are backed by a bank letter of
credit collateralized by a like amount of cash. The Company is in advanced
stages of negotiations to substantially reduce or remove these guarantees.
During 2001, the Company entered into various contracts with web based and
non-web based companies whereby these companies will direct their customers to
the Fantasycup.com website. For those customers that register for the fantasy
league through the website, the Company will pay commissions ranging from 12% to
50% of net revenues depending on the terms of each individual agreement. The
term of these agreements are for one year and are renewed annually unless
terminated by either party.
In June 2001, the Company entered into an agreement with TWI Interactive, Inc.

designed to assist Fantasy in establishing itself as the premier, independent,
subscription-based fantasy sports game producer. TWI and affiliates of IMG will
provide exclusive representation and services across a broad spectrum of its
sports marketing activities. Under the agreement, the Company will pay TWI a
monthly fee of $12,000 and commissions of 20% to 50% of net revenues generated

J. Roodt. The audit committee is responsible for recommending annually to the
Board of Directors the independent auditors to be retained, reviewing with the
independent auditors the scope and results of the audit engagement and
establishing and monitoring our financial policies and control procedures.
The compensation committee is currently composed of Michael Levy and Joseph
Weil. The compensation committee has power and authority with respect to all
matters pertaining to compensation and the administration of employee benefits,
deferred compensation and our stock option plans.
COMPLIANCE WITH SECTION 16(A) OF THE EXCHANGE ACT.
Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 requires our executive
officers and directors, and persons who beneficially own more than 10% of our
common stock, to file initial reports of ownership and reports of changes of
ownership with the Securities and Exchange Commission and furnish copies of
those reports to us. Based solely on a review of the copies of the reports
furnished to us to date, or written representations that no reports were
required, we believe that all reports required to be filed by such persons with
respect to our fiscal year ended June 30, 2002 were timely made.

STOCK OPTION PLAN
Our Board of Directors has adopted and our shareholders, prior to our initial
public offering, approved our 1995 Stock Option Plan. Our 1995 Stock Option Plan
provides for the grant of:
-19-
o options that are intended to qualify as incentive stock options within the
meaning of Section 422 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 to key
employees; and
o options not intended to so qualify to key employees, including our
directors and officers, and to directors and consultants who are not
employees.
The total number of shares of our common stock for which options may be granted
under our 1995 Stock Option Plan is 850,000 shares.
Our 1995 Stock Option Plan is administered by the compensation committee of our
Board of Directors. The compensation committee will determine the terms of
options exercised, including the exercise price, the number of shares subject to
the option and the terms and conditions of exercise. No option granted under our
1995 Stock Option Plan is transferable by the optionee other than by will or the
laws of descent and distribution and each option is exercisable during the
lifetime of the optionee only by such optionee or his legal representatives.
The exercise price of incentive stock under our 1995 Stock Option Plan must be
at least equal to 100% of the fair market value of such shares on the date of
grant, or 110% of fair market value in the case of an optionee who owns or is
deemed to own stock possessing more than 10% of the voting rights of our
outstanding capital stock. The term of each option will be established by the
compensation committee, in its sole discretion. However, the maximum term for
each incentive stock option granted under our 1995 Stock Option Plan is ten
years, or five years in the case of an optionee who owns or is deemed to own
stock possessing more than 10% of the total combined voting power of our
outstanding capital stock. Options will become exercisable at such times and in
such installments as the compensation committee will provide in the terms of
each individual option. The maximum number of shares for which options may be
granted to any individual in any fiscal year is 210,000.
Our 1995 Stock Option Plan also contains an automatic option grant program for
our directors. Each of our non-employee directors is automatically granted an
option to purchase 10,000 shares of our common stock following each annual
meeting of shareholders. In addition, each of our employee directors is
automatically granted an option to purchase 5,000 shares of our common stock
following each annual meeting of shareholders. Each grant has an exercise price
per share equal to the fair market value of the our common stock on the grant
date, is immediately exercisable and has a term of five years measured from the
grant date, subject to earlier termination if an optionee's service as a Board
member is terminated for cause.
Through September 28, 2001, we have granted options to purchase 876,666 shares
of our common stock under our 1995 Stock Option Plan, 110,000 of which have been
exercised.
NON-PLAN STOCK OPTIONS
We have granted non-plan stock options to purchase 1,100,000 shares of our
common stock, 500,000 of which were granted at an exercise price of $4.75 per
share and 600,000 of which were granted at $4.06 per share.
COMPENSATION COMMITTEE INTERLOCKS AND INSIDER PARTICIPATION
