PAVING STONE CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
AS OF JUNE 30, 2002
-------------------

NOTE 1 BASIS OF PRESENTATION
- ------- ------------------------

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared
in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in The United States
of America and the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange
Commission for interim financial information. Accordingly, they do not include
all the information necessary for a comprehensive presentation of financial
position and results of operations.

It is management's opinion, however, that all material adjustments (consisting
of normal recurring adjustments) have been made which are necessary for a fair
financial statement presentation. The results for the interim period are not
necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the year.

For further information, refer to the financial statements and footnotes for the
year ended December 31, 2001 included in the Company's Form 10-KSB.

NOTE 2 PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION
- ------- -----------------------------

The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of
Paving Stone Corporation and its wholly owned subsidiaries. All significant
inter-company transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.

NOTE 3 PRINCIPLES OF COMBINATION
- ------- ---------------------------

The 2001 financial statements are presented on a combined basis, which
represents The Paving Stone Company, Inc. and its affiliates, which include
Paving Stone Company of Atlanta, Inc., The Paving Stone Company of Arizona,
Inc., Paving Stone of Nevada, Inc., and The Paving Stone Company of California,
Inc., all of which were owned by one stockholder. Significant intercompany
balances and transactions were eliminated in the combination.

NOTE 4 INVENTORIES
- ------ -----------

Inventories consist of brick pavers and installation supplies. Inventories are
stated at the lower of cost or market value, as determined using the first in,
first out method.

NOTE 5 SEGMENT REPORTING
- ------ -----------------

The Company has six geographic reportable segments: Florida, Arizona, Atlanta,
Nevada, California and corporate. Each segment installs interlocking pavers on
driveways and patios for residential and commercial use. The accounting policies
of the segments are the same as described in the summary of significant
accounting policies. The Company evaluates segment performance based on income
from operations. Sales for each segment are based on the location of the
third-party customer. All intercompany transactions between segments have been
eliminated.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS.


OVERVIEW


During the second quarter of 2002, in spite of an unusually high amount of
rainfall in our Florida markets, we posted a 4% increase in net sales over the
second quarter of 2001. In addition, we increased our gross margins up to 26%
from 20% over the second quarter of 2001, resulting in a 137% increase of net
income. We continue to shift our business away from the high volume and low
margin work (primarily in Florida), which characterized our company in prior
years. As a result of our expansion into new markets around the country over the
last two years, and our shift towards remodeling work, we are making a
deliberate transition into higher priced and more profitable business.

The second quarter also marked the beginning of the roll out of our exclusive
installation program with Home Depot in Florida and Eastern Massachusetts. We
are pleased with the initial success in new sales volume, and expect this
program to continue to expand and have a positive impact on sales during the
second half of this year.

Lastly, at the beginning of the second quarter, we closed on our first round of
equity financing and set the stage for additional funding for our expansion.


FINANCIAL CONDITION


Total assets as of June 30, 2002 were $6,110,787, a decrease of $829,603, or
12%, from total assets of $6,940,390 at December 31, 2001. The decrease was
primarily attributable to a reduction in accounts receivable of $1,253,572,
which reflects a normal seasonal decline in volume from the fourth quarter of
the prior year. This reduction was offset by an increase in costs in excess of
billings of $342,825, which reflects an increase in uncompleted jobs in
progress, caused by the heavy rainfall in June 2002.

Current liabilities decreased by $829,384, or 12%, from $6,785,668 at December
31, 2001 to $5,956,284 at June 30, 2002. The decrease is primarily attributable
to a decrease in accounts payable and accrued expenses of $939,492.

Stockholders' equity increased from $14,368 at December 31, 2001 to $26,133 at
June 30, 2002, an increase of $11,765, or 82%. The increase is primarily
attributable to an increase in paid in capital of $439,262, offset by a
year-to-date net operating loss of $477,535.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Net sales increased by $324,581, or 3.8%, and $735,877, or 4.9%, for the
three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 2002, respectively, as compared
to the same periods in the prior year. The increases were primarily due to the
expansion into new markets in 2001.

Cost of goods sold decreased $227,890, or 3.4%, and $300,149 or 2.4%, for the
three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 2002, respectively, as compared
to the same periods in the prior year. The decreases reflect efficiencies gained
in labor and material costs over the prior year.

Selling, general and administrative expenses increased by $971,793, or 56.0%,
and $1,127,824 or 36.3%, for the three-month and six-month periods ended June
30, 2002, respectively, as compared to the same periods in the prior year. The
increases are primarily attributable to the expansion into new markets in the
prior year.

We generated a net profit of $20,248 for the three-month period ended June 30,
2002 as compared to a net loss of $55,224 for the three months ended June 30,
2001. The increase in net profit of $75,472, or 137%, was largely a result of
the increases in gross margins described above along with a net gain on stock
issuances and settlements of certain consulting contracts. We incurred a net
loss of $477,535 for the six-month period ended June 30, 2002 as compared to a
net loss of $371,940 for the same period in the prior year. The increase in net
loss of $105,595 or 28% occurred primarily in the first quarter of 2002 and was
the result of expansion in the prior year.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

During the six-month period ended June 30, 2002, operating activities consumed
$1,141,350 of cash as compared to $140,951 for the same period in the prior
year. The increase in cash consumed was partially due to our national expansion
in the last half of 2001. In addition, cash inflows decreased over 2001 in our
southernmost Florida operation as a result of new construction declines caused
by full saturation of the new construction market. The primary sources of
funding came from an equity financing with a private investor totaling
$1,000,000 in gross proceeds, along with an increase in our line of credit of
$250,000, bringing the total credit facility up to $2,500,000. We continue to
monitor our cash situation and may continue to pursue additional equity funding
as appropriate.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK.

Not applicable.

PART II: OTHER INFORMATION.

ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS.

The Company knows of no material legal proceedings at this time.
Periodically, the Company becomes party to legal claims that arise in the
ordinary course of business.

ITEM 2. CHANGES IN SECURITIES AND USE OF PROCEEDS.

(c) Recent Sales of Unregistered Securities. On April 12, 2002, the
------------------------------------------
Company conducted a private placement of equity securities. Under the terms of
the subscription agreement, the Company received consideration equivalent to
$1,000,000, in exchange for 4,000,000 shares of common stock, $0.00001 par
value, and a warrant to purchase 1,500,000 shares of common stock, $0.00001 par
value. The shares of common stock were issued on April 18, 2002. The warrant is
exercisable beginning six months and ending thirty months after April 17, 2002,
at a price equal to a 30% discount to the average closing bid price of the
common stock of the Company as trading on the over-the-counter bulletin board
market, for a period of 10 days prior to exercise, not to exceed $1.00. The

10


Company believes that the sale of the Common Stock was exempt from registration
under Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Rule 506
promulgated thereunder by the Securities and Exchange Commission. The Company
has agreed to file a registration statement for the shares issued and underlying
the warrant to be effective on or before December 31, 2002. The Company has
used the proceeds to reduce debt and to fund working capital needs and
expansion.

The Company entered into an Acquisition Agreement on October 11, 2001, a
copy of which was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission as an
Exhibit to a Report on Form 8-K on October 17, 2001. The acquisition closed on
December 17, 2001, as reported on a Report on Form 8-K filed with the Securities
and Exchange Commission on January 4, 2002. Under the terms of the Acquisition
Agreement, the Company acquired five corporations, which became operating
subsidiaries of the Company, in exchange for a total of 20,000,000 shares of
common stock, $0.00001 par value, to be issued to certain directors, officers
and consultants of the Company. The financial statements for this report have
assumed the issuance of such shares for the purpose of determining earnings per
share and other equity-related calculations. The number of shares had been
placed in reserve pending actions by the board of directors to authorize the
transfer of shares. On April 25, 2002, at the direction of the board of
directors, the Company issued 17,360,000 shares of common stock, par value
$0.00001, in accordance with the Acquisition Agreement, of which 16,040,000
shares were issued to Maurice Sigouin, the Chief Executive Officer, President,
and Chairman of the Board of Directors, and 1,320,000 shares were issued to Jace
Simmons, the Executive Vice President of Finance, Chief Financial Officer and a
Director of the Company. The Company believes that the issuance of the shares
was exempt from registration under Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933,
as amended.

On June 6, 2002, the Company issued 300,000 shares of common stock to a
consultant for services. The shares were valued at $105,000, the fair value on
the date of grant. The Company believes that the issuance of the shares was
exempt from registration under Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as
amended.
