PART I
ITEM 1. BUSINESS
(a) General
C.E.C. Industries Corp. is a Nevada corporation with principal and executive
offices located at 3450 E Russell Road, Las Vegas, Nevada 89120, telephone
(702) 214-4253. C.E.C. Industries Corp. and it's consolidated subsidiaries are
referred to as either C.E.C. or the Company. C.E.C. is engaged in several
unrelated businesses through its primary subsidiaries, Custom Environmental
International, (hereinafter referred to as CEI), (carbon reactivation
technology), Mid-Nevada Art, Inc. (hereinafter referred to as Mid-Nevada Art),
(art collection), and Basia Holding, Inc. (hereinafterreferred to as Basia),
(holds quit claim title to 9,000 acres of land and mineral leases in
Tennessee). The Company also has methane gas interests in Alabama (hereinafter
referred to as Atlas Methane Leases) and a 24.5% interest in Victory Village
Associates Limited III (hereinafter referred to as Victory
Village), (320 unit multi-family project in Henderson, Nevada). The Company's
current organization was accomplished through a merger and acquisition program
during the two fiscal years ended March 31, 1997, and continuing through the
present.
C.E.C. was incorporated as Justheim Petroleum Company in Nevada in 1952.
C.E.C. Management Corp. was merged into Justheim Petroleum Company effective
December31, 1986, and was renamed C.E.C. Industries Corp. Prior to the merger,
Justheim had historically engaged in the business of acquiring, holding and
selling oil and gas leaseholds and retaining overriding royalty rights. C.E.C.
Management Corp. primarily was in the business of engineering consulting and
designing and marketing customized minerals processing systems and equipment.
C.E.C.'s primary business had been the manufacture and sale of minerals
processing equipment through its wholly-owned subsidiary, CEI formerly Custom
Equipment Corporation. Custom was a pioneer in the development of custom gold
processing equipment in the early to mid-1980's, thus, business was very
profitable. However, as gold prices declined after the early 1980's, fewer gold
plants were built, more competitors entered the market, and Custom's business
was negatively impacted. The Company attempted to use its expertise and
know-how to develop the carbon reactivation furnace technology in the water
treatment industry, but the continued losses in the metallurgical business
caused a capital drain necessitating other measures. Custom Environmental
International became the renamed subsidiary to carry on the efforts, building
a new prototype carbon furnace still in the development stage. The
metallurgical equipment business was sold in fiscal year 1991.
A spin-off of CEI was proposed in late 1995, however, on August 5, 1996 the
Board of Directors had a formal meeting regarding the proposed spin-off
(previously filed in the 8-K of October 4, 1995) of the Company's subsidiary
C.E.I. Due to the fact that the prior Board of Directors did not complete the
spin-off of C.E.I. and the documentation regarding this spin-off is not
included in the official books and records of the Company, the current Board of
Directors has decided that the spin-off of C.E.I. is not in the best
interests of the Company or it's shareholders and has terminated all spin-off
plans for C.E.I. at this time.
In September 1993, the Board of Directors of C.E.C considered expanding the
Company's business into opportunities outside of the carbon reactivation
furnace technology business, and thus caused several new directors with real
estate expertise to join the C.E.C. board. The intent being to develop land
owned by the Company in St. George, Utah as well as other properties to be
acquired.
The Company formed Moonridge Development Corp. as a wholly-owned subsidiary
On February 24, 1994 (hereinafter referred to as "Moonridge"), to develop the
Company's property and subsequently other parcels of property. In 1995,
Moonridge acquired a General Contractor License and began development of a 320
unit multi-family complex in Henderson, Nevada. After much discussion regarding
the liability of such a project, the Board of Directors on June 10, 1996,
signed a Mutual Release and Hold Harmless Agreement with Moonridge Development
Corp., DSM Golf Enterprises, Inc. and Charles McHaffie. This agreement
released the Company's interest in Moonridge Development Corp. However, the
Company regained title to all the lands owned by Moonridge and retained its
24.5% interest in the Victory Village Associates Limited III, a 320 unit multi-
family HUD project in Henderson, Nevada.
In the fourth quarter of 1995, the Company acquired Sterling Travel, and the
revenues and expenses thereof from February 28, 1995 to March 31, 1995, were
included in the revenues and expenses for fiscal 1995. Pursuant to the terms
and conditions of the agreement with the 100% owner of Sterling Travel, the
Company was purchasing the travel Company for 400,000 shares of preferred stock
of the Company, at a valued price of $5 per share, convertible to common stock,
with a total value of $2 million. In the event that in two years, the price of
the stock of the Company was not valued at $5 per share, then in that event the
Company was required to off set the difference with the issuance of additional
shares of common stock. According to the agreement, the preferred stock was to
be issued according to an earn out schedule based upon revenues earned by
Sterling Travel. However, Sterling Travel did not receive the revenue
projections as initially anticipated, and the preferred stock was not issued,
and the transaction was canceled.
On March 28, 1996, the Company entered into an agreement whereby the Company
issued 8,660,000 shares of common restricted voting stock and 8,663,041 shares
of preferred voting stock of the company in exchange for 100% of the issued and
outstanding common shares of Basia Holding, Inc., a Tennessee Corporation
holding quit claim title to 9,000 acres of land and 100% of the issued and
outstanding shares of Mid-Nevada Art, Inc., and 100% of Atlas Methane fully paid
leasehold interests which leasehold interests include approximately 13,500 acres
located in the Black Warrior Basin area of Alabama. The March 28th
agreementfurther required the resignation of three of the Company's directors.
On May 10, 1997, the Company entered into an agreement to sell approximately
8.5 acres of land on Russell Road in Las Vegas, Nevada. With the conveyance of
this land the Company reduced its indebtedness by $1,735, 185 on existing loans
and also received a six month extension with an option for an additional six
months and other considerations on the existing loans on the Company's 15 acres
of land in Las Vegas.
On June 15, 1996, the Company entered into a Stock Exchange Agreement to
Acquire 100% of the issued and outstanding stock of Auto Express, Inc., a
Colorado Corporation involved in the transportation of automobiles nationwide.
The Company subsequently became aware of material misrepresentations as well as
undisclosed liabilities made by Auto Express, Inc. In light of the material
nature of these issues, C.E.C. Industries Corp. has determined that it was in
the best interest of the Company and its shareholders to rescind the
transaction.
On June 27, 1996 the Company entered into an Exchange Agreement with One
World Cards, Inc. & Bruce Perlowin its President for 278 - $10,000.00 pre-paid
Long distance calling cards at a rate of approximately $0.45 per minute or
better and an expiration date of five (5) years from the date of closing in
exchange for 18 original art works by Sky M. Jones. These paintings have an
appraisal value of $2,779,700.00 and are owned by the Company's wholly owned
subsidiary Mid-Nevada Art. The paintings book value was $0 at March 31, 1998.
Management elected to write the paintings down after evaluating them for risk
Impairment under FASB 121.
Also on June 27, 1996 the Company entered into an Exchange Agreement with
One World Cards Inc. & Bruce Perlowin its President for 3 - $100,000.00 at a
Rate of approximately $0.45 per minute or better with no expiration date and
45- $10,000.00 pre-paid long distance calling cards at a rate of approximately
$0.45 per minute or better with an expiration date of five (5) years from the
date of closing in exchange for 12 original art works by Sky M. Jones with
appraisal books and appraisals totaling $750,000.00 owned by the Company's
wholly owned subsidiary Mid-Nevada Art. Mid-Nevada Art, Inc. exercised its
option wherein Mid-Nevada Art, Inc. returned the pre-paid calling cards to One
World Cards, Inc. and One World Cards, Inc. returned the 31 original artworks
to Mid-Nevada Art, Inc. The decision for the return of the calling cards was
the result of the failure of One World Cards, Inc. to fully activate the
prepaid calling cards.
On December 6, 1996, the Company signed an exchange agreement to sell it's
interest in 17.44 acres of vacant land in Las Vegas, Nevada for 165,876 free
trading shares of Synfuel Technologies, (OTC SNFL) trading at approximately
$20.00 per share. On March 31, 1997 Gold Coast Resources assumed the existing
mortgages of approximately $1,800,000.
(b) Information About Industry Segments.
The Company is currently engaged in four main businesses; real estate
investment (Victory Village); carbon furnace development (CEI); mineral rights
development (Atlas Methane and Basia Holding) and investments in art (Mid-
Nevada Art). Information regarding the Company's reportable business segments
is set forth in Item 1( c) and Note 9 to the Financial Statements. The Company
is not involved in mining operations, and, accordingly, no revenues are
generated therefrom.
(c) Narrative Description of Business.
Victory Village Associates Limited III
320 Unit Multi-Family Project to be built - Henderson, Nevada. In June,
1995, the Company acquired a 24.5% interest in a 320 unit apartment project
generally known as Victory Village, in exchange for 1,200,000 shares of Rule
144 stock, with a simultaneous two-year restriction. The project is located in
Henderson, Nevada near the intersection of Lake Mead Blvd. and Boulder Highway.
The City of Henderson issued bonds to facilitate the financing on the project,
with HUD,(Department of Housing and Urban Development) insuring the
construction and permanent loan in the sum of $16,442,400, at 6.38% interest,
and due in 40 years, which loan was recorded in June of 1995 against the
approximate 17.72 acres. The Majority of the construction on the project has
been completed and certificates of occupancy have been issued. The company's
investment in Victory Village was collateralized by a pledge of preferred stock
owned by the project manager. In July of 1998, the company exchanged its
interest in Victory Village for the return of 1,805,000 shares of the company's
preferred stock.
Atlas Methane Gas Interests
The Company owns 100% of 13,500 acres of leasehold interest located in the
Black Warrior Lagoon area of Alabama, containing methane reserves.
Introduction. Coal deposits in the United States are widespread, underlying
360,000 square miles in 37 states. Methane is present in nearly all coal from
the shallow subsurface to depths over 10,000 feet. Coalbed basins are
generally divided into eastern and western types. This segregation is on the
basis of both geography and geology. The eastern coals are primarily
Pennsylvanian Age and western coals are Cretaceous Age. Much of the drilling
for coalbed gas has been concentrated in the Black Warrior Basin of North
Central Alabama. This is due to several factors:
The basin's proximity to gas pipelines that deliver to stable gas markets.
The high BTU values of the gas, from 950-1050. Drilling depths are shallow
from 1,000 to 5,000 feet. The coals are well understood in terms of
their thickness, rank, and content. Long term production has been
established.
Black Warrior Basin. Coal has been produced continuously for over 100 years
In the Black Warrior Basin. Although the presence of gas in coalbeds has been
recognized from the beginning, it had been considered only as a hazard to coal
mining. Gas from the field was originally vented, but as the natural gas prices
increased, the gas was collected and sold.
Market Analysis. The pipeline systems situated in the Black Warrior Basin,
Are Alabama Gas Company (ALAGASCO), Basin Pipeline Corporation, and Southern
Natural Pipeline Company (SONAT), and Associated natural Gas Inc. (ANGI). The
Company does not contemplate any marketing problems related to coalbed methane
production in the Warrior Basin.
Competition. There are a large number of companies and individuals engaged
In exploration and development of oil and gas properties. Accordingly, the
Company will encounter strong competition from independent operators and major
Oil companies in acquiring any additional leases suitable for development.
Many of the companies so engaged have financial resources and staffs
Considerably larger than those available to the Company. There are likewise
Numerous companies and individuals engaged in the organization and conduct of
royalty, production, and marketing of gas, thus providing a high degree of
competition among companies and individuals in the development and marketing of
gas leasehold interests.
The ability of the Company to market oil and gas will depend on numerous
factors beyond the control of the Company, the effect of which factors cannot
be accurately predicted or anticipated. Some of these factors include the
availability of other domestic and foreign production, the marketing of
competitive fuels, the proximity and capacity of pipelines, fluctuations in
supply and demand, the availability of a ready market, the effect of the
federal and state regulation of production, refining, transportation and sales,
and general national and worldwide economic conditions.
Basia Holding, Inc.
Basia Holdings holds quit claim title to 9,000 acres of land Grundy County,
Tennessee, pursuant to a conveyance from Alpine Development Co., a Florida
corporation, known as O & F Tennessee Land; and is in part of what is locally
referred to as the Southern Field of the Tennessee coalfield.
The Company currently does not have the means, nor the intention in the near
future to attempt to develop and or mine the coal property or perfect the
title. The Company is seeking a buyer or a joint venture partner for the coal
reserves. The ability of the Company to market the coal will depend on numerous
factors beyond the control of the Company, the effect of which factors cannot
be accurately predicted or anticipated. Some of these factors include the
accessibility of the material, the availability of other domestic and foreign
production, environmental issues in both the region where the materials are
located and other regions where competitive materials are located, fluctuations
in supply and demand, the availability of a ready market, the effect of the
federal and state regulation of production, transportation and sales, and
general national and worldwide economic conditions. Basia Holding, Inc. was
inactive during 2000 and 2001.
Mid-Nevada Art, Inc.
Mid Nevada Art, Inc. is a wholly owned subsidiary of CEC with assets of $0.
Management elected to write the paintings down to zero based on the inability
of the Company to rent or sell and of these paintings. These artworks were
appraised at a value in excess of $1.7 million, however the appraisals were not
considered arms length and management reevaluated the book value based on
cashflow and projected cash flow for the rental or sell of the paintings. Sky
M.Jones is a noted American artist, Sky Jones is a painter from the American
West, born October 3, 1947 in Salt Lake City, Utah. He graduated with a
bachelor degree in Art from the University of Utah in 1971. He has written
books on Art and Life. Jones deals in Multiple Imagery, that is, layers upon
layers of 3D forms overlaid and interwoven. Sky Jones originals have been in
the private collections of Queen Elizabeth, Governor Michael Dukakis, the late
Lucille Ball, and Mohammed Ali to name a few. He has created various movie
posters including Star Trek, the Never Ending Story, Final Countdown, etc.
Limited edition prints and paintings by Sky Jones have been collected by or
displayed in museums, corporations and galleries world wide. Prior to 1985 he
used the name of Michael Whipple. Mid-Nevada Art, Inc. was inactive during
2000 and 2001.
Custom Environmental International
Custom Environmental International, (CEI) is engaged in the business of
development and implementation of a patented carbon reactivation furnace. CEI
developed a cost effective vertical kiln used for the recovery of gold.
Production models were sold throughout the world. CEI has gained valuable field
experience which has lead to improved models.
Federal and State Regulation. General. The activities of the Company with
respect to methane gas and coal, are subject to federal and state environmental
laws and regulations which impose limitations on the discharge of pollutants
into the air and water and which also establish standards for the treatment,
storage and disposal of solid and hazardous waste. Management believes that
the Company is substantially in compliance with such laws and regulations, and
there are no pending proceedings which question compliance with all applicable
environmental, health and safety.
Although the Company does not consider current laws and regulations relating
To such matters to be materially burdensome, especially in light of the reserve
status of the Company's involvement as opposed to operations, there can be no
assurance that future legislative or governmental actions or judicial decisions
will not adversely affect the Company or its ability to retain the mineral
rights set forth herein. The Company is not aware of any proposed or pending
legislative, governmental or judicial action that would materially adversely
affect the Company's properties.
Methane Extraction. The chief potential for environmental harm in the
extraction of coalbed methane, the gas trapped in underground coal streams, is
the discharge of salt water into streams. Weekly and monthly water-quality
samples are required to monitor the water quality during extraction. Currently
the Company is not involved in the extraction of its methane reserves, and
thus faces no immediate environmental challenges.
Custom Environmental International, (CEI) was inactive during 2000 and 2001.

ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
Fernando Aldecoa, et. al. v. Softpoint, Inc., United States District Court,
Southern District of California, Case Number 951654H(LSP) was instituted in
October, 1995. The Principal parties included Softpoint, Inc., Robert Cosby,
C.E.C. Industries, Inc., George Matthews, Ron Robinson, Ron Stoecklein, and Don
Stocklein. The action pertains the allegations made by certain Softpoint
shareholders that the defendants materially misrepresented, or allowed certain
misrepresentations to occur, which were relied upon by the plaintiffs in
purchasing their stock in Softpoint. The only relationship between the
plaintiffs and the Company is that the Company was attempting a merger with
Softpoint, which merger was not completed. Further, one of the past directors of
the Company was a past president of Softpoint, Inc.; however the dual
relationship existed after the merger termination. The plaintiffs are seeking
an unknown damage, which must be established upon determining liability, if any
Because the Company and its outside counsel, are of the opinion that the
Company has no exposure in the litigation, the Company is not aware of any
governmental authority which has interest in the matter from the standpoint of

cross complaint alleging that no contract was entered into nor did the Company
ever elicit any indemnity agreement. The Company is strongly responding to the
litigation and believes that a judgment will be rendered in their favor. The
case is in the discovery stage. A provision in the agreement wherein the Company
invested in the Victory Village project, contained an indemnification in favor
f the Company collateralized by preferred stock. In the event of a loss, the
Company is in a position of offset against the value of the preferred stock.

ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the financial
statements and the notes thereto.
Overview
The company has continued to go through major transitions pertaining to
direction and continued operations. During fiscal 1998, the Company earned
revenues primarily through the sales of its royalty interest.
Moonridge Development Corp. The Company divested itself of all interest to
Moonridge Development Corp. in June of 1996 regaining all interest in
properties located in Las Vegas, Nevada, (approximately 25 acres of commercial
real estate which was sold in the second and third quarters of 1996) and 24.5%
interest in Victory Village Associates Limited III (320 unit apartment project
in Henderson, Nevada, which is completed and has received certificates of
occupancy.
On May 10, 1996, the Company entered into an agreement to sell approximately
8.5 acres of land on Russell Road in Las Vegas, Nevada. With the conveyance of
this land the company reduced its indebtedness by $1,735,185 on existing loans
and also received a six month extension with an option for an additional six
months and other consideration on the existing loans on the Company's 15 acres
of land in Las Vegas, which was subsequently sold.
On December 6, 1996, the company signed an exchange agreement to sell it's
interest in 15 and 2.2 acres of vacant land in Las Vegas, Nevada for 165,876
free trading shares of Synfuel Technologies, (OTC SNFL) trading at
approximately $20.00 per share on March 31, 1997 The existing mortgage on the
property of approximately $1,800,000 was assumed by the buyer.
CEI. The Company, through its subsidiary, CEI, continued to incur expenses
related to the carbon reactivation furnace. The spin off that was announced in
October of 1995 was never completed and the Board of Directors decided that the
spinoff of CEI was not in the best interest of the Company or it's shareholders
and the Company terminated all spin off plans at this time.
Basia Holdings, Inc. The Company holds quit claim title to approximately
9,000 of land in Tennessee through its wholly owned subsidiary, Basia Holdings,
and 13,500 acres of methane gas leases in Alabama. The Company has not
developed these assets at this time.
Mid-Nevada Art, Inc. is no longer generating revenues from its broadcasting
services. The company also entered into an Exchange Agreement with One World
Cards, Inc. for the purchase of 31 art works by Sky M. Jones for approximately
$3.5 Million in pre-paid calling cards at a rate of $.45 per minute.. Mid-
Nevada Art exercised its option wherein Mid-Nevada Art returned the pre-paid
calling cards to One Wold Cards, Inc. and One World Cards, Inc. returned the art
works to Mid-Nevada Art, Inc. The decision for the return of the calling cards

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT
Board of Directors March 29, 2002
C.E.C. Industries Corporation (the Company)
Las Vegas, Nevada 89120
I have audited the Balance Sheet of C.E.C. Industries Corporation, as of
March 31, 2001 and March 31, 2000, and the related Statements of Operations,
Stockholders' Equity and Cash Flows for the years ending March 31, 2001 and
March 31, 2000. These financial statements are the responsibility of the
Company's management. My responsibility is to express an opinion on these
financial statements based on my audit.
I conducted my audit in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that I plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of
material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence
supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statement presentation.
An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant
estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial
statement presentation. I believe that my audit provides a reasonable basis
for my opinion.
In my opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly,
in all material respects, the financial position of C.E.C. Industries
Corporation, as of March 31, 2001, and March 31, 2000, and the results of its
operations and cash flows for the period in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles.
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming the
Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 3 to the
financial statements, the Company has had limited operations and have not
commenced planned principal operations. This raises substantial doubt about
its ability to continue as a going concern. Management's plan in regard to
these matters are also described in Note 3. The financial statements do not
include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this
uncertainty.

Investment in Equity Securities - Logos International, Inc.
In fiscal year 1992 the Company acquired 776,857 shares of common stock of
Associated Trades, Inc. (ATI) valued at $.875 per share (the market value of
the Company's stock), or $679,750. The shares were acquired in exchange for
a building, Company stock, and majority interest in GLI Industries, Inc.
Effective April 1, 1992, ATI was merged into Logos International, Inc. (Logos),
and after two reverse stock splits and additional shares being issued, the
Company's shares were reduced to 430,320 shares.
On October 28, 1991, C.E.C. entered into an Agreement to Purchase with Oxford
House, Inc., a Utah corporation and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Associated
Trades, Inc., by which C.E.C. sold all of its right, title, and interest in
the real property and building in which C.E.C.'s offices were located, for a
total purchase price of $786,478. The purchase price by Oxford House, Inc.
included its assumption of the outstanding mortgage of the property in the
amount of $719,229 and 76,857 shares of the common stock of ATI, valued by
C.E.C. at $67,250. The ATI stock was subsequently exchanged for Logos stock.
In connection with the Agreement, C.E.C. and ATI entered into an Exchange
Agreement by which the companies exchanged 500,000 shares of one another's
common stock. C.E.C. has valued the shares of common stock received in the
transaction at $.875 per share (the bid price of C.E.C.'s common stock on the
date of the exchange), for a total value of $437,500. The ATI stock was
subsequently exchanged for Logos stock.
Pursuant to a Reorganization Agreement dated as of December 1, 1991, C.E.C.
sold 18,000,000 shares of its subsidiary's common stock, GLI Industries, Inc.,
to ATI. This represented 90% of the total outstanding common stock of GLI. In
return C.E.C. received 200,000 shares of the common stock of ATI, and was
entitled to a royalty on gross sales of GLI products of two and one-half
percent (2 1/2%). The ATI stock was subsequently exchanged for Logos stock.
Logos was incorporated November 6, 1981, under the laws of the State of Nevada
and acquired several companies in printing and publishing, arts and framing,
automotive and towing services, aerospace, and real estate. The market
price of Logos stock dropped from a bid of $10.00 per share at September 18,
1992 and $5.00 bid per share at June 1, 1993, to $.125 per share at March 31,
1994 and $.25 at March 31, 1995.
Management believes the drop in value is permanent and is due to the inability
of Logos' management to supply adequate funding or provide management of its
newly acquired companies. Management has thereby elected to write off its
investment in Logos to its current market value. The transaction resulted in
a loss of $625,960 in 1994, and a further loss of $46,305 in 1995. The
remainder of 10,420 shares is $2,605. During the fiscal year 1996 all the
