PART I
SPECIAL NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
This document contains "forward-looking statements" (within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Act of 1995) that inherently involve risk and uncertainties. The Company generally uses words such as "believe," "may," "could," "will," "intend," "expect," "anticipate," "plan," and similar expressions to identify forward-looking statements. One should not place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements. The Company’s actual results could differ materially from those anticipated in the forward-looking statements for many unforeseen factors, which may include, but are not limited to, changes in general economic conditions, the ongoing threat of terrorism, customer acceptance of products offered, other general competitive factors, ability to have access to financing sources on reasonable terms and other risks that are described in this document. Although the Company believes the expectations reflected in the forward-looking statements are reasonable, they relate only to events as of the date on which the statements are made, and the Company’s future results, levels of activity, performance or achievements may not meet these expectations. The Company does not intend to update any of the forward-looking statements after the date of this document to conform these statements to actual results or to changes in the Company’s expectations, except as required by law.
Item 1. Business
(a) Development of Business.
CHAMPIONS Sports, Inc. (the "Company" or "CSI") was incorporated under the laws of the State of Delaware on June 4, 1985 under the name "International Group, Inc." In September 1985, the Company completed a public offering of 40,000,000 Units, each Unit consisting of one share of Common Stock and warrants to purchase three shares of Common Stock, at a price of $0.01 per Unit. The net proceeds of the offering to the Company were approximately $357,000.
On January 16, 1986, the Company acquired 100% of the outstanding shares of CHAMPIONS Sports International, Inc. ("CSII"), in exchange for 195,555,555 shares of the Company’s Common Stock. In February, 1986, International Group, Inc. changed its name to CHAMPIONS Sports, Inc. Between 1987 and 1988, most of the original warrants issued in September 1985 were exercised by stockholders and consequently the Company received additional capital of $2,356,268. On September 12, 1989, CSII was merged with and into the Company, with the Company as the surviving corporation. In November 1991, the Company effected a reverse split of its outstanding shares on a 1 for 100 basis. In November 1992, the Company completed a public offering of 350,000 Shares of Series A 12% Convertible Preferred Stock. In March 1993, the Company completed an exchange offer converting all, except 64,575 preferred shares, into 2,171,657 shares of common stock. Through FY 2002, an additional 11,450 preferred shares were converted to 53,930 shares of common stock and in FY 2004, 20,675 preferred shares were converted to 310,199 shares of common stock.
The Company is a licensee of one CHAMPIONS Sports Bar Restaurant and the exclusive supplier of sports memorabilia and consultant to Marriott International, Inc. (Marriott). Effective November 1997, the Company sold the rights to the CHAMPIONS brand to Marriott and became an exclusive supplier of sports memorabilia and a consultant to all new managed Marriott and Renaissance Hotel sports bar restaurants worldwide. At April 30, 2004, the Company owns one CHAMPIONS Sports Bar Restaurant in San Antonio, Texas that is licensed, royalty free, from Marriott.
(b) Current Business Plan
In addition to operating the present ongoing business of the Company, see Description of the Operating Business in Item I(c) below, the current business plan for the Company is to actively pursue opportunities whereby the Company will primarily serve as a vehicle for the acquisition of a target business that the Company believes will have significant growth potential. The Company intends to use its capital stock, to effect a business combination with a private company that desires to establish a public trading market for its securities while avoiding what it may deem to be adverse consequences of undertaking a public offering itself, such as time delays, significant expense, loss of voting control and other burdens including significant professional fees. The business combination may be with a financially stable, mature company or a company that is financially unstable or in its early stages of development or growth.
In seeking to attain this business objective, the Company will not restrict its search to any particular industry. Rather, the Company may investigate businesses of essentially any kind or nature and participate in any type of business that may, in management’s opinion, meet the business objectives as described in this document. The Company emphasizes that the description in this document of its business objectives is extremely general and is not meant to restrict the discretion of management to search for and enter into potential business opportunities.
The Company has not chosen the particular business in which the Company will engage in and has not conducted any market studies with respect to any business or industry to evaluate the possible merits or risks of the target business or the particular industry in which the Company may ultimately operate. To the extent that the Company may enter into a business combination with a financially unstable company or an entity in its early stage of development or growth, including entities without established records of sales or earnings, The Company will become subject to numerous risks inherent in the business and operations of financially unstable and early stage or potential emerging growth companies. In addition, to the extent that the Company may enter a business combination with an entity in an industry characterized by a high level of risk, the Company will become subject to the currently unascertainable risks of that industry. An extremely high level of risk frequently characterizes certain industries that experience rapid growth. In addition, although the Company will endeavor to evaluate the risks inherent in a particular industry or target business, the Company cannot give assurance that the Company will properly ascertain or assess all significant risk factors.
The Company anticipates that target business candidates will be brought to its attention from various unaffiliated sources, including but not restricted to, investment bankers, venture capitalists, securities broker-dealers, bankers and other members of the financial community, who may present solicited or unsolicited proposals. Company’s officers and directors and their affiliates may also bring to the Company’s attention target business candidates. While the Company does not presently anticipate engaging the services of professional firms that specialize in business acquisitions on any formal or basis, the Company may engage such firms in the future, in which event, the Company may pay a finder’s fee or other compensation for such introductions if they result in consummated transactions. These fees are customarily between 1% and 5% of the size of the overall transaction, based upon a sliding scale of the amount involved.
The Company’s management will have significant flexibility in identifying and selecting a prospective target business. In evaluating a prospective target business, the management will consider, among other factors, the following:
These criteria are not intended to be exhaustive. Any evaluation relating to the merits of a particular business combination will be based, to the extent relevant, on the above factors as well as other considerations deemed relevant by management in connection with effecting a business combination consistent with Company’s business objective.
In connection with Company’s evaluation of a prospective target business, the Company anticipates that it will conduct due diligence review that will encompass, among other things, meetings with incumbent management and inspection of facilities, as well as a review of financial or other information that will be made available to the Company.
The Company will endeavor to structure a business combination so as to achieve the most favorable tax treatment to the Company, the target business and both of the companies’ stockholders. There can be no assurance, however, that the Internal Revenue Service or appropriate state tax authority will agree with the tax treatment of the business combination.
Until the Company is presented with a specific opportunity for a business combination, the Company is unable to ascertain with any degree of certainty the time and costs required to select and evaluate a target business and to structure and complete the business combination. Any costs incurred in connection with the identification and evaluation of a prospective target business with which a business combination is not ultimately completed will result in a loss to the Company and will reduce the amount of capital otherwise available to complete a business combination.
Although the Company intends to carefully scrutinize the management of a prospective target business before effecting a business combination, the Company cannot give assurance that its assessment of the target’s management will prove to be correct, especially in light of the possible inexperience of Company’s management in evaluating certain types of businesses. In addition, the Company cannot give assurance that the target’s future management will have the necessary skills, qualifications or abilities to manage a public company intending to embark on a program of business development. Furthermore, the future role of Company’s officers and directors, if any, in the target business cannot presently be stated with any certainty. It is possible that one or more of the Company’s officers and directors will remain associated in some capacity with the Company following a business combination and will devote their efforts to the affairs of the new business combination. Moreover, the Company cannot give assurance that its officers and directors will have significant experience or knowledge relating to the operations of the particular target business.
The Company may seek to recruit additional managers to supplement the incumbent management of the target business. The Company, however, cannot give assurance that it will be able to recruit additional managers who have the requisite skills, knowledge or experience necessary to enhance the incumbent management.
The Company expects to encounter intense competition from other entities having a similar business objective. Many of these entities, including financial consulting companies and venture capital firms, have longer operating histories and have extensive experience in identifying and effecting business combinations, directly or through affiliates. Many of these competitors possess significantly greater financial, technical and other resources. The Company cannot give assurance that it will be able to effectively compete with these entities. In the event the Company is unable to compete effectively with these entities, the Company may be forced to evaluate less attractive prospects for a business combination. If the Company is forced to evaluate these less attractive prospects, the Company cannot give assurance that the stated business objectives will be met.
(c) Description of the Operating Business.
1. Concept
The Company operates a restaurant in San Antonio, Texas by the name of CHAMPIONS which has a sports theme concept that combines casual dining, sports viewing with strategic marketing and promotions. The CHAMPIONS popularity is defined in the CHAMPIONS motto: "Good Food, Good Times, Good Sports." This concept is based, in large measure, on the format implemented in the first CHAMPIONS location that opened in the Georgetown section of Washington, D.C. in 1983. A strong food component was added to the original concept so that the CHAMPIONS in San Antonio, Texas is a full-fledged restaurant as well as bar. The sports theme of CHAMPIONS is based upon management’s belief that sports appeals to most socio-economic, age and gender groups worldwide. The sports atmosphere at CHAMPIONS is created by the presence of hundreds of items of original sports memorabilia such as uniforms, sports equipment, posters, advertising, signs, magazine covers, official programs, film posters, and photographs from local, national and international celebrities and sporting events, past and present. The sports decor seeks to establish a feeling a comfort and belonging for all customers. In addition, CHAMPIONS atmosphere is enhanced by sports programming and viewing which is accomplished through a network of strategically placed TV monitors designed to continuously show local, national and international sporting events without taking away from the casual dining experience. Although sports is a theme in CHAMPIONS restaurants it is not the dominant factor. At the heart of the CHAMPIONS concept is the food. The menu, which attracts guests for lunch and dinner, appeals to those interested in dining at a moderate price. It incorporates traditional American cuisine as well as popular regional items. CHAMPIONS average check is about $14.25 per person, placing it within the “casual dining” segment of the restaurant industry. This segment seeks to attract customers who want a higher quality of food and service than that commonly provided at "fast food" or "family style” restaurants. Although no element of the CHAMPIONS concept is unique, the combination of food, atmosphere, sports memorabilia, sports viewing, marketing and promotions defines the concept.
2. Operations
As of the end of the fiscal year, the Company was engaged in the following types of operations:
(i) Company-Owned Operation
(ii) Supplier of Sports Memorabilia and Consulting Services to Marriott
In November 1997, the Company sold the rights to the CHAMPIONS brand to Marriott and became a licensee of CHAMPIONS Sports Bar Restaurants and an exclusive supplier of sports memorabilia and a consultant to all new managed Marriott and Renaissance Hotel sports bar restaurants worldwide. Under the terms of this agreement, Marriott is required to purchase sports memorabilia and for the Company to serve as a consultant for each new CHAMPIONS or like sports bar restaurant that opens in a new Marriott or Renaissance Hotel worldwide at the same prescribed prices (with increases pegged to the Consumer Price Index) as paid to the Company by Marriott in its previous agreement, except that Marriott does not pay any annual fees as before. In FY 2004, the Company provided no sports memorabilia and consulting services to any Champions Sports Bar Restaurants pursuant to the 1997 agreement with Marriott.
3. Competition
The food and beverage industry is highly competitive. Food and beverage businesses are affected by changing customer tastes, local and national economic conditions that affect spending habits, population shifts and traffic patterns. Quality of service, attractiveness of facilities and price are also important factors. The popularity of the concept of sports bar restaurants has spawned a number of companies seeking to capitalize on that market. While the Company believes that the Champions concept is superior, there are other “sports" bar restaurants in operation. The sports memorabilia business is also highly competitive.
As part of the current business plan, in addition to, operating the present ongoing Company business, the Company is actively pursuing opportunities whereby the Company will primarily serve as a vehicle for the acquisition of a target business that the Company believes will have significant growth potential, The Company expects to encounter intense competition from other entities having a similar business objective. Many of these entities, including financial consulting companies and venture capital firms, have longer operating histories and have extensive experience in identifying and effecting business combinations, directly or through affiliates. Many of these competitors possess significantly greater financial, technical and other resources. The Company cannot give assurance that it will be able to effectively compete with these entities. In the event the Company is unable to compete effectively with these entities, the Company may be forced to evaluate less attractive prospects for a business combination. If the Company is forced to evaluate these less attractive prospects, the Company cannot give assurance that the stated business objectives will be met.
4. Service Mark
The Company sold the federally registered service mark "Champions" to Marriott pursuant to the November, 1997 agreement and transferred to Marriott all of its international service marks that the Company had registered. .
5. Government Regulation
The Company’s CHAMPIONS sports bar restaurant is subject to federal, state and local governmental regulations, including regulations relating to alcoholic beverage control, public health and safety, zoning and fire codes. The failure to retain food, liquor or other licenses would adversely affect the operations of the Company’s restaurant. While the Company has not experienced and does not anticipate any problems in retaining required licenses, permits or approvals, any difficulties, delays or failures in retaining such licenses, permits or approvals could adversely affect the restaurant. The license to sell alcoholic beverages must be renewed annually and may be suspended or revoked at any time for cause, including violation by the Company or its employees of any law or regulation pertaining to alcoholic beverage control, such as those regulating the minimum age of patrons or employees, advertising, wholesale purchasing, and inventory control, handling and storage. However, the restaurant is operated in accordance with standardized procedures designed to assure compliance with all applicable codes and regulations.
The Company may be subject to “dram-shop” statutes, which generally provide a person injured by an intoxicated person the right to recover damages from an establishment that wrongfully served alcoholic beverages to such person. While the Company carries liquor liability coverage, a judgment against the Company under a dram-shop statute in excess of the Company’s liability coverage, or inability to continue to obtain such insurance coverage at reasonable costs, could have a material adverse effect on the Company. The Company is also subject to the Fair Labor Standards Act, the Immigration Reform and Control Act of 1986 and various state laws governing such matters as minimum wages, overtime, tip credits and other working conditions. A significant number of the Company’s hourly personnel are paid at rates related to the federal minimum wage and, accordingly, increases in the minimum wage or decreases in the allowable tip credit will increase the Company’s labor cost.
6. Employees
As of April 30, 2004, the Company had 2 employees in its corporate office in Arlington, Virginia and 46 employees (both management and hourly) at its San Antonio restaurant.
Item 2. Properties.
The Company is leasing, on a month-to-month basis, its corporate office space located at 2420 Wilson Blvd., Suite 214, Arlington, VA 22201. The Company’s rental payments are $500 per month. The Company is leasing 5,289 square feet of space for its restaurant in San Antonio, TX pursuant to a lease, which expires in June 2005. The lease provides monthly rental payments of $23,536 including CAM charges and real estate taxes. In addition, the lease requires a percentage of the unit’s revenues at the location in excess of $1,745,000 per year. The Company is actively searching for additional business opportunities with which to merge or acquire. It is not the intention of the Company to abandon or cease its restaurant operations. However, effective, June 30, 2005, the lease at the San Antonio restaurant expires and the landlord has not renewed the Company’s lease, and therefore operations will cease at that location.
Item 3. Legal Proceedings.
The Company knows of no material pending legal proceedings as to which the Company is a party or of which its properties are the subject, and no such proceedings are known to the Company to be contemplated by governmental authorities.
Item 4. Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders.
None
PART II
Item 5. Markets for Common Equity & Related Stockholder Matters.
(a) Principal Market or Markets.
The Common Stock was traded on the NASDAQ SmallCap Market until June 24, 1994. At that time, the Common Stock was delisted from the NASDAQ SmallCap Market for falling below the minimum financial requirements. The Common Stock is presently trading on the OTC Bulletin Board under the symbol CSBR. In October 1993, the series A 12% Convertible Preferred Stock was delisted from NASDAQ due to lack of the required two market makers necessary for continued listing and has not been trading since.

(b) Approximate Number of Holders of Common Stock and the Preferred Stock.
The number of holders of record of the Company’s common stock as of July 15, 2004 was 2,164 and the Company estimates that there are approximately 3,000 additional beneficial shareholders. There is one beneficial holder of the Company’s preferred stock as of July 15, 2004.
(c) Dividends.
Holders of common stock are entitled to receive such dividends as may be declared by the Company’s Board of Directors. No dividends have been paid with respect to the Company’s common stock and no dividends are anticipated to be paid in the foreseeable future. Any future decisions as to the payment of dividends will be at the discretion of the Company’s Board of Directors, subject to applicable law. From November 1994 through November 2002, the Company’s Board of Directors voted each year to defer payment of the annual dividend on the Series A, 12% Preferred Stock, in order to preserve the Company’s cash reserves and in November 2003 cancelled the payment of the annual dividend on the Series A, 12% Preferred Stock. The Company’s Board of Directors determined, in the reasonable and prudent exercise of their business judgment, that the only manner in which any value could be realized to shareholders was from a merger of the Company with another company and that there does not seem to be any other basis on which the Company can continue. The Company is seeking to use its capital stock to effect a business combination with a private company, which wishes to establish a public trading market for its securities. Based on discussions with potential merger partners, it was clear that no potential merger partner would likely participate in a merger so long as there were outstanding preferred shares. On September 15, 2003, the Company sent a letter to all preferred shareholders announcing its intention to convert preferred shares to common shares. The proposed terms of the conversion were the exchange of one share of preferred stock for fifteen shares of common stock. The conversion also provided for a payment of $0.01 per share converted. The letter announcing the conversion made it clear that preferred shareholders could choose not to convert and that they would be reissued their preferred shares. The Company set a 15 to 1 ratio for the conversion of the preferred shares to common, in 2003, based on (a) the additional accrued dividends and (b) the desire to set an attractive conversion ratio which would facilitate conversion and place the corporation in a position to go forward with its business combination plans. 20,675 preferred shares were converted to 310,199 shares of common stock and payments of $206.75 were issued.
Item 6. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.
THERE IS SUBSTANTIAL DOUBT ABOUT THE COMPANY’S ABILITY TO CONTINUE AS A GOING CONCERN DUE TO RECURRING LOSSES AND WORKING CAPITAL SHORTAGES, WHICH MEANS THAT THE COMPANY MAY NOT BE ABLE TO CONTINUE OPERATIONS UNLESS IT OBTAINS ADDITIONAL FUNDING. THE COMPANY IS ACTIVELY PURSUING MERGER OR ACQUISITION CANDIDATES AND OTHER FINANCING POSSIBILITIES TO MEET ITS LIQUIDITY NEEDS. THERE IS NO ASSURANCE THAT THE COMPANY WILL BE ABLE TO STRUCTURE A MERGER OR ACQUISITION, OR RAISE ADDITIONAL FINANCING TO CONTINUE OPERATIONS ON TERMS SATISFACTORY TO THE COMPANY.
(a) Results of Operations for Fiscal Years 2004 and 2003.
1. Revenues
For the fiscal year ended April 30, 2004, the Company’s revenues decreased slightly from $2,006,406 to $1,999,173.
By component, food and beverage sales increased 5.3% to $1,981,113 from to $1,882,118. The Company attributes the increased food and beverage sales to an increase in menu prices in the first quarter of 2004 and to a slight increase in customer volume. The food to beverage ratio for the San Antonio location was approximately 60% to 40% for both comparable years. Food and beverage sales accounted for 99% and 93.8% of the Company’s total revenue in the comparable periods.
For the fiscal year ended April 30, 2003, the Company’s revenues decreased 6.6% to $2,006,406 from $2,147,995 in FY 2002.
Revenues from merchandise and memorabilia sales and consulting fees accounted for less than 1% of the Company’s total revenue in FY 2004 compared to 5.79% in FY 2003. Sales of memorabilia are directly tied to the number of new Champions locations that open during the fiscal year. In FY 2004, the Company did not provide any sports memorabilia to any Champions locations. In FY 2003, the Company provided sports memorabilia to one Champions location. During FY 2004 and FY 2003, the Company other revenues accounted for less than 1% of its total revenues.
2. Expenses
The Company’s cost of food and beverage was in FY2004 at the San Antonio restaurant location increased to 29.6% of sales from 24.6% in FY2003. This variance is attributed to an increase in wholesale prices, especially in beef, poultry and produce. While the Company implemented retail price increases during FY 2004, in order to remain competitive, they were not sufficient to absorb all of the wholesale price increases.
Restaurant payroll and related costs were 32% of related food and beverage sales for FY 2004 and 35.3% of related sales in FY2003. This variance is attributed to a 5% increase in food and beverage sales and eliminating one management position during FY2004.
Restaurant occupancy costs for FY 2004 were 12.7% of food and beverage sales compared to 13.3% in FY 2003.
Other restaurant costs decreased as a percentage of food and beverage sales at 20.3% for FY 2004 compared to 21.5% for FY 2003. This variance is due to a 5% increase in food and beverage sales.
General and administrative costs incurred in FY 2004 were $277,490 and $280,847 in FY 2003. The primary components of G&A expenses are operating the Company’s corporate office, including salaries. The Company has undertaken significant expense reduction actions in FY 2004 in order to preserve the Company’s cash. Its corporate officers have not taken any salaries since December 2003. The Company, on January 12, 2005, was advised by the Securities and Exchange Commission, upon its review of the Company’s filing of the Form 10-KSB for the year ended April 30, 2004, that when an executive officer, who is also a significant shareholder of the company, contributes his services to the company, the fair value of those services should be reflected as expense on the books of the Company. The revised filing reflects the action taken by the Company to accrue the salary of its executive officer, Mr. Martell, pursuant to the salary rate in his employment agreement. The Company is continually evaluating other cost reductions.
Interest expense in both FY 2004 and 2003 was immaterial.
3. Profits / Losses
For FY 2004, the Company’s loss was $215,234 from its operations before dividends accrued on the outstanding preferred stock of $21,580, producing a net loss for common shareholders of $236,814, or $0.02 per common share. The San Antonio Champions location produced a net profit of $68,934.
For FY 2003, the Company’s loss was $145,994 from its operations before dividends accrued on the outstanding preferred stock of $63,750, producing a net loss for common shareholders of $209,744
(b) Liquidity and Capital Resources for Fiscal Years 2004 and 2003
We are currently experiencing a severe shortage of working capital.
The Company’s cash position on April 30, 2004 was $120,116 compared to $195,101 on April 30, 2003, a decrease of $74,985.
During FY 2004, the Company’s operating activities used cash of $72,054. The Company used cash to purchase equipment for its San Antonio restaurant for $2,931. The Company’s operating activities and cash reserves were sufficient to meet its cash requirement during FY 2004.
During FY 2003, The Company’s operating activities used cash of $248,117. The Company purchased equipment for its San Antonio Champions location for $9,135 and repaid a capital lease for $1,929. The Company’s operating activities and cash reserves were sufficient to meet its cash requirement during FY 2003.
The Company’s restated working capital on April 30, 2004 was a negative $412,242, compared to a negative $463,353 on April 30, 2003. The Company’s working capital when compared to other publicly traded companies in the restaurant industry is unfavorable. This is primarily attributed to the fact that other companies in the industry have multiple locations with a broader sales base and generate greater cash flows to offset corporate overhead expense. In the Company’s current situation, the one operating unit has generated cash to cover its operating expense, but has not produced sufficient cash to offset the corporate overhead costs.
The Company is facing liquidity problems and is uncertain that it will be able to continue operations without an infusion of cash.

1 $49,333 was cash compensation and $98,667 was accrued. The Company, on January 12, 2005, was advised by the Securities and Exchange Commission, upon its review of the Company’s filing of the Form 10-KSB for the year ended April 30, 2004, that when an executive officer, who is also a significant shareholder of the company, contributes his services to the company, the fair value of those services should be reflected as expense on the books of the Company. The revised filing reflects the action taken by the Company to accrue the salary of its executive officer, Mr. Martell, pursuant to the salary rate in his employment agreement.
In FY 2004, all executive officers of the Company as a group (2 in number) received cash compensation of $73,666. Effective January 2004, salaries to all executive officers were suspended in order to preserve the Company’s cash position and will not be paid until the cash position of the Company improves. In FY 2003, all officers of the Company as a group (2 in number) received cash compensation of $184,166. The Board of Directors has the right to change and increase the compensation of executive officers at any time. The Company has no arrangement by which any of its directors are compensated for services solely as directors, and these individuals do not receive any additional remuneration for their services as directors. The Company may from time to time pay consulting fees to its officers and directors.
Except as described below, the Company has no compensatory plan or arrangement which would result in executive officers receiving compensation as a result of their resignation, retirement or any other termination of employment with the Company or its affiliates, or from a change in control of the Company or a change in responsibilities following a change in control of the Company.
The Company entered into an employment agreement with Mr. Martell in September 1993, under which Mr. Martell received options to purchase 200,000 shares of the Company’s Common Stock at $1.00 per share at any time prior to September 6, 2001, whether or not Mr. Martell is an employee at such time. If there is a change in the management of the Company and such management acts contrary to the policy of the current Board, or if Mr. Martell’s position as an officer or director is terminated, Mr. Martell may resign and become entitled to liquidated damages determined pursuant to a formula prescribed in the contract. . This agreement was extended for two years in FY 2000 at an annual salary of $148,000 and further extended for another three years in FY 2002. In FY 2003, Mr. Martell’s salary was reduced in the interim to $74,000 and since January 2004 Mr. Martell has not taken a salary in order to preserve the Company’s cash position. In FY 2001, the Board of Directors reissued to Mr. Martell the options to purchase the 200,000 shares of Company’s Common stock at $0.11 per share instead of $1.00 per share as previously granted and extended the expiration of those options to August 22, 2003. These options expired in FY 2004. In FY 1996, the Board of Directors granted to Mr. Martell an option to purchase 1,200,000 restricted shares of the Company’s Common Stock at $0.05 per share. Mr. Martell in FY 1996 exercised this option for 1,200,000 restricted shares for $60,000. In January 2004, the Board of Directors granted to Mr. Martell a seven-year option to purchase 8,000,000 restricted shares of the Company’s Common Stock at $0.01 per share.
In FY 2001, the Board of Directors, as part of its efforts to diversify into high technology, granted the following options to the Company’s Officers, Directors and Advisory Board Members: a three year option to purchase 575,000 restricted shares of the Company’s Common Stock at $0.11 per share to James J. Heigl, then Chairman and CEO in FY 2001; a three year option to purchase 550,000 restricted shares of the Company’s Common Stock at $0.11 per share to Harry Alton Lee, then COO and Director in FY 2001; a three year option to purchase 900,000 restricted shares of the Company’s Common Stock at $0.11 per share to Michael Tomic, Director; a three year option to purchase 100,000 restricted shares of the Company’s Common Stock at $0.11 per share to Durwood Settles, Director; a three year option to purchase 50,000 restricted shares of the Company’s Common Stock at $0.11 per share to James McCollam, Chief Accounting Officer and Controller; and three year options to purchase 5,000 restricted shares of the Company’s Common Stock at $0.28 per share to each of its Advisory Board Members. In FY 2004 the Board of Directors extended the options that were granted in FY 2001 to Michael Tomic, Durwood Settles and James McCollam for one additional year. All other options granted in FY 2001 expired unexercised in FY 2004.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
Board of Directors
Champions Sports, Inc. and Subsidiaries
Arlington,
Virginia
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of Champions Sports, Inc. and Subsidiaries as of April 30, 2004 and the related consolidated statements of operations, changes in stockholders’ (deficit), and cash flows for the year then ended. These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audit.
We have conducted our audit in accordance with standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.
The accompanying consolidated financial statements for the year ended April 30, 2004 have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 9 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company has sustained operating losses and capital deficits that raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s operating and financing plans in regard to these matters are also discussed in Note 9. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of these uncertainties.
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Champions Sports, Inc. and Subsidiaries as of
April 30, 2004 and the results of its operations, changes in stockholders’ (deficit) and their cash flows for the year then ended in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

This transaction resulted in an increase in net loss applicable to common shares of $107,547 for the year ended April 30, 2004 to a net loss of $215,234 as restated, and an increase in the accumulated deficit to $6,383,925.

FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
APRIL 30, 2004 AND 2003
NOTE 1- ORGANIZATION AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION
Champions Sports, Inc., (the “Company”) a Delaware corporation, promotes a sport theme restaurant bar concept through Company owned and licensed operations. The Company sold the rights to the Champions brand to Marriott International, Inc. (Marriott) and became a licensee of Champions Sports Bar Restaurants. Substantially all memorabilia sales are to Marriott. At April 30, 2004 and 2003, respectively, the Company through its subsidiaries, owns and licenses, without a royalty fee, one Champions Sports Bar Restaurant in San Antonio, Texas.
The Company has amended its previously issued consolidated financial statements for the year ended April 30, 2004 on its report dated July 12, 2004. The Company has amended these consolidated financial statements to recognize an additional $107,547 in officer’s compensation and related payroll tax expense for the year ended April 30, 2004. This transaction resulted in an increase in net loss applicable to common shares of $107,547 for the year ended April 30, 2004 to a net loss of $215,234 as restated, and an increase in the accumulated deficit to $6,383,925.
NOTE 2- SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Principles of Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries. All material inter-company transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
Property and Equipment
Property and equipment are stated at cost. Depreciation and amortization is computed from the date property is placed in service using the straight-line method over estimated useful lives as follows:
Life |
||
Furniture and equipment |
5-15 years |
|
Leasehold improvements |
Remaining term of the lease |
Depreciation expense was $11,150 for the years ended April 30, 2004 and 2003. Amortization expense was $37,269 for the years ended April 30, 2004 and 2003.

Net (Loss) Per Share
Historical net (loss) per common share is computed using the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted earnings per share (EPS) includes additional dilution from common stock equivalents, such as stock issuable pursuant to the exercise of stock options and warrants. Common stock equivalents were not included in the computation of diluted earnings per share when the Company reported a loss because to do so would be antidilutive for periods presented.
The following is a reconciliation of the computation for basic and diluted EPS:

NOTE 2- SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
Cash and Cash Equivalents
For purposes of the consolidated statements of cash flows, the Company considers all highly liquid debt instruments purchased with a maturity of three months or less, unless restricted as to use, to be cash equivalents. At various times throughout the year the Company had amounts on deposit at financial institutions in excess of federally insured limits.
Income Taxes
The Company has adopted the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 109 (the Statement), Accounting for Income Taxes. The Statement requires an asset and liability approach for financial accounting and reporting for income taxes, and the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the temporary differences between the financial reporting bases and tax bases of the Company’s assets and liabilities at enacted tax rates expected to be in effect when such amounts are realized or settled.
Deferred Revenue
Deferred revenue consisted of payments received in advance of revenue being earned under memorabilia sales agreements.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The carrying amounts of the Company’s financial instruments, including cash and cash equivalents, accounts payable, and accrued expenses, approximate fair values because of the short maturities of these instruments.
Options for Common Stock
The Company uses the intrinsic value method to account for options granted to executive officers, directors and other key employees for the purchase of common stock. No compensation expense is recognized on the grant date, since at that date, the option price equals or is higher than the market price of the underlying common stock. The Company discloses the pro forma effect of accounting for stock options under the fair value method. The Company uses the fair value method to account for options granted to advisors for the purchase of common stock.

Stock-Based Compensation
Employee stock awards under the Company’s compensation plans are accounted for in accordance with Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25 (“APB 25”), “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees”, and related interpretations. The Company provides the disclosure requirements of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation” (“SFAS 123”), and related interpretations.
Stock-based awards to non-employees are accounted for under the provisions of SFAS 123 and has adopted the enhanced disclosure provisions of SFAS No. 148 “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation- Transition and Disclosure, an amendment of SFAS No. 123”.
The Company measures compensation expense for its employee stock-based compensation using the intrinsic-value method. Under the intrinsic-value method of accounting for stock-based compensation, when the exercise price of options granted to employees is less than the estimated fair value of the underlying stock on the date of grant, deferred compensation is recognized and is amortized to compensation expense over the applicable vesting period. In each of the periods presented, the vesting period was the period in which the options were granted. All options were expensed to compensation in the period granted rather than the exercise date.
The Company measures compensation expense for its non-employee stock-based compensation under the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Emerging Issues Task Force (EITF) Issue No. 96-18, “Accounting for Equity Instruments that are Issued to Other Than Employees for Acquiring, or in Conjunction with Selling, Goods or Services”. The fair value of the option issued is used to measure the transaction, as this is more reliable than the fair value of the services received. The fair value is measured at the value of the Company’s common stock on the date that the commitment for performance by the counterparty has been reached or the counterparty’s performance is complete. The fair value of the equity instrument is charged directly to compensation expense and additional paid-in capital.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements
On October 3, 2001, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 144, “Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets” (“SFAS 144”), that is applicable to financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2001. The FASB’s new rules on asset impairment supersede SFAS 121, “Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to Be Disposed Of,” and portions of Accounting Principles Board Opinion 30, “Reporting the Results of Operations.” This Standard provides a single accounting model for long-lived assets to be disposed of and significantly changes the criteria that would have to be met to classify an asset as held-for-sale. Classification as held-for-sale is an important distinction since such assets are not depreciated and are stated at the lower of fair value and carrying amount. This Standard also requires expected future operating losses from discontinued operations to be displayed in the period (s) in which the losses are incurred, rather than as of the measurement date as presently required. The adoption of SFAS No. 144 did not have a significant impact on the Company’s results of operations or financial position.
In April 2002, the FASB issued SFAS No. 145, Rescission of FASB Statements No. 4, 44 and 64, Amendment of FASB Statement No. 13, and Technical Corrections. This statement rescinds SFAS No. 4, Reporting Gains and Losses from Extinguishment of Debt, and an amendment of that statement, SFAS No. 44, Accounting for Intangible Assets of Motor Carriers, and SFAS No. 64, Extinguishments of Debt Made to Satisfy Sinking-Fund Requirements. This statement amends SFAS No. 13, Accounting for Leases, to eliminate inconsistencies between the required accounting for sales-leaseback transactions and the required accounting for certain lease modifications that have economic effects that are similar to sales-leaseback transactions.
Also, this statement amends other existing authoritative pronouncements to make various technical corrections, clarify meanings, or describe their applicability under changed conditions. Provisions of SFAS No. 145 related to the rescissions of SFAS No. 4 were effective for the Company on November 1, 2002 and provisions affecting SFAS No. 13 were effective for transactions occurring after May 15, 2002. The adoption of SFAS No. 145 did not have a significant impact on the Company’s results of operations or financial position.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements (Continued)
In June 2003, the FASB issued SFAS No. 146, Accounting for Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities. This statement covers restructuring type activities beginning with plans initiated after December 31, 2002. Activities covered by this standard that are entered into after that date will be recorded in accordance with provisions of SFAS No. 146. The adoption of SFAS No. 146 did not have a significant impact on the Company’s results of operations or financial position.
In December 2002, the FASB issued Statement No. 148, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation-Transition and Disclosure, an amendment of FASB Statement No. 123”(“SFAS 148”). SFAS 148 amends FASB Statement No. 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation,” to provide alternative methods of transition for an entity that voluntarily changes to the fair value based method of accounting for stock-based employee compensation. It also amends the disclosure provisions of that Statement to require prominent disclosure about the effects on reported net income of an entity’s accounting policy decisions with respect to stock-based employee compensation. Finally, this Statement amends Accounting Principles Board (“APB”) Opinion No. 28, “Interim Financial Reporting”, to require disclosure about those effects in interim financial information. SFAS 148 is effective for financial statements for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2002. The Company will continue to account for stock-based employee compensation using the intrinsic value method of APB Opinion No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees,” but has adopted the enhanced disclosure requirements of SFAS 148.
In April 2003, the FASB issued SFAS Statement No. 149, "Amendment of Statement 133 on Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities", which amends and clarifies financial accounting and reporting for derivative instruments, including certain derivative instruments embedded in other contracts (collectively referred to as derivatives) and for hedging activities under FASB Statement No. 133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities. This Statement is effective for contracts entered into or modified after June 30, 2003, except for certain hedging relationships designated after June 30, 2003. Most provisions of this Statement should be applied prospectively. The adoption of this statement did not have a significant impact on the Company’s results of operations or financial position.

In May 2003, the FASB issued SFAS Statement No. 150, "Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with Characteristics of both Liabilities and Equity". This Statement establishes standards for how an issuer classifies and measures certain financial instruments with characteristics of both liabilities and equity. It requires that an issuer classify a financial instrument that is within its scope as a liability (or an asset in some circumstances). This statement is effective for financial instruments entered into or modified after May 31, 2003, and otherwise is effective at the beginning of the first interim period beginning after June 15, 2003, except for mandatorily redeemable financial instruments of nonpublic entities, if applicable. It is to be implemented by reporting the cumulative effect of a change in an accounting principle for financial instruments created before the issuance date of the Statement and still existing at the beginning of the interim period of adoption. The adoption of this statement did not have a significant impact on the Company’s results of operations or financial position.
In November 2002, the FASB issued Interpretation No. 45 ("FIN 45"), Guarantor’s Accounting and Disclosure Requirements for Guarantees, Including Indirect Guarantees of Indebtedness of Others. FIN 45 requires a company, at the time it issues a guarantee, to recognize an initial liability for the fair value of obligations assumed under the guarantees and elaborates on existing disclosure requirements related to guarantees and warranties. The recognition requirements are effective for guarantees issued or modified after December 31, 2002 for initial recognition and initial measurement provisions. The adoption of FIN 45 did not have a significant impact on the Company’s results of operations or financial position.
In January 2003, the FASB issued FASB Interpretation No. 46 ("FIN 46"), Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities, an Interpretation of ARB No. 51. FIN 46 requires certain variable interest entities to be consolidated by the primary beneficiary of the entity if the equity investors in the entity do not have the characteristics of a controlling financial interest or do not have sufficient equity at risk for the entity to finance its activities without additional subordinated financial support from other parties. FIN 46 is effective for all new variable interest entities created or acquired after January 31, 2003. For variable interest entities created or acquired prior to February 1, 2003, the provisions of FIN 46 must be applied for the first interim or annual period beginning after June 15, 2003. The adoption of FIN 46 did not have a significant impact on the Company’ results of operations or financial position.

Common Stock (Continued)
For the year ended April 30, 2004, the Company issued 310,199 shares of common stock in conversion of 20,675 shares of preferred stock.
There were no issuances of common stock during the year ended April 30, 2003.
Preferred Stock
The Company has 56,075 shares of preferred stock authorized and 32,450 and 53,125 shares issued and outstanding at April 30, 2004 and 2003, respectively.
The Series A preferred stock requires a dividend of 12 percent per annum, and the dividends are to be accrued on the Company’s book if not paid. The dividend may be paid in common stock of the Company at the Company’s discretion. The number of shares comprising the dividend paid in common stock shall be determined by dividing $1.20 by the closing bid price for the common stock on the payment date. The Series A preferred stock is preferred in liquidation or dissolution up to the amount of their par value ($10 per share). The Series A preferred stock in 2004 converted into 15 shares of the Company’s common stock. There were no conversions in 2003.
For each of the nine fiscal years ended April 30, 2004, the Company deferred payment of the annual dividend on the Series A preferred stock. The deferral was $21,580 and $63,750, in 2004 and 2003, respectively. Preferred stock dividends in arrears at April 30, 2004 and 2003 aggregated $350,460 ($10.83 per preferred share) and $575,192 ($10.83 per preferred share), respectively. Effective November 2003, pursuant to a board resolution, the Company cancelled its payment and/or accruing of preferred stock dividends. Therefore, only $21,580 was accrued for the year ended April 30, 2004.
Common Stock Options
The Company in 1993 adopted a stock option plan, which expired on August 2, 2002. No options were exercised under the plan. All options granted by the Company were granted pursuant to board resolutions and not under the stock option plan.

However, it allows companies to continue to use the intrinsic-value method for options granted to employees and disclose pro forma net loss. All of these options are vested as of April 30, 2004.

FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
APRIL 30, 2004 AND 2003
NOTE 8- STOCK AGREEMENT
In January 2002, the Company entered into a subscription agreement to sell 4,000,000 shares of common stock to an unrelated party at $0.125 per share for a total of $500,000.
The purchaser paid $20,000 at the closing of the agreement and provided a promissory note for $480,000. The note is non-interest bearing and requires twenty-four monthly payments of $20,000 each. The note is secured by the stock issued and the transfer of such stock is restricted until the note is paid off. Certain other restrictions regarding the transfer of the stock also exist.
The purchaser paid a total of $55,000 during the year ended April 30, 2002 and $5,000 during the year ended April 30, 2003, and has defaulted under the payment terms of the note. The stock has not been issued, and the agreement was cancelled.
NOTE 9- GOING CONCERN
As shown in the accompanying consolidated financial statements the Company has sustained net operating losses for the years ended April 30, 2004 and 2003, and has sustained large accumulated deficits. In addition, the Company is in search of acquiring a business, or finding a suitable merger candidate.
Management has restructured the Company and is continuing to search for a more profitable company to acquire.
The Company’s future success is dependent upon its ability to achieve profitable operations and generate cash from operating activities, and upon additional financing. There is no guarantee that the Company will be able to raise enough capital or generate revenues to sustain its operations.
The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
NOTE 10- PROVISION FOR INCOME TAXES
Deferred income taxes will be determined using the liability method for the temporary differences between the financial reporting basis and income tax basis of the Company’s assets and liabilities. Deferred income taxes will be measured based on the tax rates expected to be in effect when the temporary differences are included in the Company’s consolidated tax return. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized based on anticipated future tax consequences attributable to differences between financial statement carrying amounts of assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases.
At April 30, 2004, deferred tax assets consist of the following:
Deferred tax asset |

1,442,000 |

NOTE 10- PROVISION FOR INCOME TAXES (CONTINUED)
At April 30, 2004, the Company had federal net operating loss carryforwards in the approximate amounts of $4,120,000 available to offset future taxable income. The Company established valuation allowances equal to the full amount of the deferred tax assets due to the uncertainty of the utilization of the operating losses in future periods.
NOTE 11- RESTATEMENT OF PREVIOUSLY ISSUED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
The Company has amended its previously issued consolidated financial statements for the year ended April 30, 2004 on its report dated July 12, 2004. The Company has amended these consolidated financial statements to recognize an additional $107,547 in officer’s compensation and related payroll tax expense for the year ended April 30, 2004. This transaction resulted in an increase in net loss applicable to common shares of $107,547 for the year ended April 30, 2004 to a net loss of $215,234 as restated, and an increase in the accumulated deficit to $6,383,925.
