ITEM 1 - BUSINESS
- -----------------
Peacock Financial Corporation, a Colorado corporation (the Company),
incorporated February 1984, is a publicly traded diversified investment holding
company that makes direct investments in and provides management services to
businesses that have an operating history and can perform to the bottom line.
The Company intends to continue expanding through the internal development of
its present operations and other business opportunities, as well as the
acquisition of additional business ventures.
The Company participates in companies in various fields of business by arranging
for and contributing capital and providing management assistance. Potential
ventures are evaluated based on the ability of the business to be viable and
reach a significant milestone with the Company's initial investment as well as
possessing a potential to generate significant revenues through strong
intellectual property rights and experienced management. The Company continually
seeks and evaluates investment opportunities that have the potential of earning
significant returns. The Company has in the past, and may again in the future,
raise capital specifically for the purpose of permitting it to make an
investment that the company believes is attractive.
The Company's current enterprise portfolio includes the following:
. Peacock Real Estate Development Corporation (Riverside Park Apartments,
Canyon Shadows, St. Michel)
. Vir-Tek Corporation
. iNetPartners, Inc.
. San Diego Soccer Development Corporation
. Bio-Friendly Corporation
. Bizness Soup Talk
The Company plans to invest in ventures with at least a three-year operating
history, is performing with a profit to the bottom line and, in some cases, has
the need for identification and implementation of experienced management.
Identifying and developing each new business opportunity requires the Company to
dedicate significant amounts of financial resources, management attention, and
personnel, with no assurance that these expenditures will be recouped.
Similarly, the selection of companies and the determination of whether a company
offers a viable business plan, an acceptable likelihood of success, and future
profitability involves inherent risk and uncertainty.
2
At December 2000, the Company has written off several of its investments. The
auditors have written an opinion that unless the Company can turn profitable, it
will be forced to cease operations. The new management of the Company has been
consolidating the portfolio and endeavoring to improve their performance while
adding to it through strategic investment and attempting to move the Company
into profitability.
ITEM TWO - INVESTMENTS
- ----------------------
Riverside Park Apartments
The Company formed a limited partnership in June 1992 and acquired two apartment
buildings for $3,350,000 to be repaired, developed and managed. During the year
ending 1992, the Company reduced its interest to 1% and has remained a general
partner with a 1% interest, receiving a property management fee.
Canyon Shadows Apartments
The Company acquired a 120-unit apartment complex in April 1995 for $875,000.
The Company received a $975,000 loan that converts to a grant from the City of
Riverside for the purpose of acquisition and rehabilitation and, in 1996, the
Company was awarded $2,200,000 in Federal Tax Credits for the project. In
December 1996, the project was sold to a tax credit partnership in which the
Company retains a $905,000 capital account, as well as a 1% interest as a
general partner for which it receives a management fee and 80% of the project
cash flow.
St. Michel Development
In 1995, the Company formed a limited liability company to acquire a 63-lot
residential subdivision in the San Jacinto Valley. In March 1996, the limited
liability company acquired an additional 110-lot subdivision also in the San
Jacinto Valley. The Company retains a 50% ownership in the limited liability
company. A joint venture to build out these homes was just completed and the
Company is expecting the distribution of its profits shortly.
Vir-Tek
Vir-Tek is a minority disabled veteran engineering and contracting firm, formed
to take advantage of recently passed federal legislation (H.R. 1568) requiring
3% participation on all programs and projects funded by federal dollars. Vir-Tek
provides environmental management, facility and operations management, mapping
and information management, engineering services, project management, and waste
management. The company emphasizes teamwork in combination with innovation to
design balanced solutions to complex environmental, industrial, and engineering
problems. Vir-Tek has served commercial, industrial, and residential

works, and 90 percent of all buyers want to inspect and test-drive the vehicle

system which burns fuel of any kind, while greatly reducing the amount of fuel
consumed.
ITEM 3 - LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
- --------------------------

months.
. Hawthorne - Peacock Financial Corporation is the plaintiff in this case
to retrieve two errantly issued stock certificates. One of the two was
recovered and the other is considered to be lost. A proposal to re-issue
the missing certificate and then cancel it is now pending.

Equities, where Peacock Financial Corporation is the General Partner. It
involved the collection of approximately $900,000 on a promissory note.

entered into preliminary settlement negotiations at a value of $250,000.

ITEM 7 - MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
OF OPERATIONS
- -------------
Fiscal year 2000 was the Company's second year in operation as a Business
Development Corporation under the Investment Act of 1940.
Management believes that the key to a successful Business Development
Corporation is the ability to produce ongoing revenues and profits from
operating subsidiaries which will allow for an orderly due diligence process.
Results of Operations
- ---------------------
Revenues totaled $764,814 for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2000. For the
year ending December 31, 1999, revenues were $704,556. The increase resulted
from fees charged for property management and administration income as well as
income received for website development.
General and administrative expenses for the year ended December 31, 2000 were
$2,827,709, as compared to $918,374 for the year ended December 31, 1999. The
increase was primarily due to the administrative and operating costs,
specifically the payroll expenses, associated with consolidating the financial
statements of the portfolio companies in which the Company had a majority or
greater interest.
Bad debt expenses for year ended December 31, 2000 were $1,536,998, as compared
to $196,791 for the year ended December 31, 1999. The increase resulted from
allowances reserved on doubtful receivables.
Depreciation and amortization expenses was $38,776 for the year ended December
31, 2000 as compared to $33,979 for the year ended December 31, 1999. The
increase was due to the addition of fixed assets in the portfolio companies.
Interest expense was $918,756 for the year ended December 31, 2000 as compared
to $126,932 for the year ended December 31, 1999. The increase was primarily due
to the loss of market value associated with the conversion of convertible
debentures to stock.
Loss on disposition of assets was $1,809,200 for year ended December 31, 2000 as
compared to $37,365 for year ended December 31, 1999. The increase was primarily
due to the write-off of the Vista Ramona property which was lost due to
foreclosure.
6
Total operating loss was $8,616,328 for the year ending December 31, 2000 as
compared to $692,737 for the year ended December 31, 1999. This increase
reflects the write-off of certain of the Company's investments, particularly the
soccer franchises.
Changes in Financial Condition, Liquidity and Capital Resource
- --------------------------------------------------------------
For the twelve months ended December 31, 2000, the Company funded its operations
and capital requirements partially with its own working capital and partially
with proceeds from stock offerings. The Company currently has no lines of credit
available and is operating in a negative cash flow. Future operations will
depend on attracting additional investments into the Company, which are
essential to the Company's future.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT
----------------------------
Peacock Financial Corporation and Subsidiaries
Board of Directors
San Jacinto, California
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of Peacock Financial
Corporation and Subsidiaries as of December 31, 2000 and the related
consolidated statements of operations, stockholders' equity (deficit), and cash
flows for the years ended December 31, 2000 and 1999. 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 audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. 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
consolidated financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits
provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present
fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of Peacock
Financial Corporation and Subsidiaries as of December 31, 2000 and the
consolidated results of their operations and their cash flows for the years
ended December 31, 2000 and 1999 in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles.
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming
that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 2 to the
consolidated financial statements, the Company has suffered recurring losses to
date, which raises substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going
concern. Management's plans with regard to these matters are also described in
Note 2. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments
that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

PEACOCK FINANCIAL CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
December 31, 2000 and 1999
NOTE 1 - COMPANY BACKGROUND
The consolidated financial statements include those of Peacock
Financial Corporation (Colorado) (Peacock), its wholly-owned
subsidiaries, Peacock Real Estate Development Corporation (California)
(PREDC), Peacock International Corporation (Bahamas) (PIC), DotCom
Ventures, LLC (DotCom), and Peacock Sports, Inc. (PSI). The
consolidated financial statements also include its majority owned
subsidiaries, Bay Area Soccer Development Corporation (Bay Area)
(80%), Orange County Soccer Development Corporation (Orange) (85%),
Riverside County Soccer Development Corporation (Riverside) (53%), and
iNetPartners, Inc. (iNet) (51%). Collectively, they are referred to
herein as "the Company".
Peacock was incorporated under the laws of the State of Colorado on
February 16, 1984 under the name of Oravest International, Inc. It
later changed its name to Camdon Holdings, Inc. and then to American
Temperature Control, Inc., Connectivity and Technology, Inc., and
finally to Peacock Financial Corporation on February 27, 1996. Peacock
was incorporated for the purpose of creating a vehicle to obtain
capital to seek out, investigate and acquire interests in products and
businesses which may have a potential for profit.
PREDC, a wholly-owned subsidiary, was originally formed on July 29,
1993. On October 22, 1999, the name was changed from Peacock Financial
Corporation (California) to Peacock Real Estate Development
Corporation. Its operations consist of the acquisition and enhancement
of income-producing properties and the development of multi-use
property including home building. Certain properties are owned by
limited partnerships managed by the Company.
PIC, a wholly-owned subsidiary, was formed on December 8, 1997. It has
had no operations to date, but was formed to invest and trade in
securities on an international basis.
DotCom was organized on July 23, 1999. Peacock acquired its initial
50% ownership with an initial investment of $112,203. On January 5,
2000, the Company acquired the remaining 50% ownership by granting
options to acquire a total of 500,000 restricted common shares of the
Company at $0.10 per share. DotCom was organized for the purposes of
conducting an internet production company and to consult start-up and
emerging growth companies with their internet strategies.
PSI was incorporated in January 2000 to hold and manage investments in
professional sports. PSI holds ownership interests in three "A" league
professional soccer teams, including the Orange County Waves, the Bay
Area Seals and the San Diego Flash.
In January 2000, the Company acquired an 85% ownership interest for
$50,000 cash in Orange County Soccer Development Corporation (Orange).
The investment was recorded as a purchase. Orange owns the "A" league
soccer franchise for Orange County, California, known as the Orange
County Waves.
In February 2000, the Company acquired an 85% ownership interest for
$100,000 cash in Bay Area Soccer Development Corporation (Bay Area).
The investment was recorded as a purchase. Bay Area owns the "A"
league soccer franchise of San Francisco, California known as the Bay
Area Seals.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
December 31, 2000 and 1999
NOTE 1 - COMPANY BACKGROUND (Continued)
In February 2000, the Company acquired a 53% ownership interest in
Riverside County Soccer Development Corporation (Riverside) for
$6,000. The investment was recorded as a purchase. Riverside owns a D-
3 league soccer franchise known as the Riverside Elite.
The investments and operations of the soccer subsidiaries were
discontinued as of December 31, 2000 (see Note 15).
Peacock holds a 51% interest in iNet as of December 31, 2000. iNet was
organized under the laws of the State of California on December 15,
1999. iNet focuses on the development of Internet e-commerce
applications for both the new and used automotive markets and is
currently developing iNetmotors.com, a regionally based automobile e-
commerce website to provide Internet automobile shoppers easy access
to dealer inventories.
On February 27, 1996, the Company completed an Agreement and Plan of
Reorganization whereby Peacock issued 7,767,702 shares of its common
stock and 672,300 shares of its preferred stock in exchange for all of
the outstanding common stock of PREDC. Pursuant to the reorganization,
the name of the Company was changed to Peacock Financial Corporation.
The reorganization was accounted for as a recapitalization of PREDC
because the shareholders of PREDC control the Company after the
acquisition. Therefore, PREDC is treated as the acquiring entity.
Accordingly, there was no adjustment to the carrying value of the
assets or liabilities of Peacock . Peacock is the acquiring entity for
legal purposes and PREDC is the surviving entity for accounting
purposes.
On September 15, 1998, the Company filed with the Securities and
Exchange Commission to become a Business Development Corporation as
defined under the Investment Act of 1940. Simultaneously, the Company
registered an offering circular with the SEC for 13,000,000 shares of
common stock under Regulation E of the Investment Act to raise capital
and to make investments in real estate and in eligible portfolio
companies. The Company participates in the formation of, and invests
in, emerging or early-stage companies in various fields of business by
arranging for and contributing capital and providing management
assistance.
NOTE 2 - GOING CONCERN
As reported in the consolidated financial statements, the Company has
an accumulated deficit of approximately $11,968,000 at December 31,
2000 and has incurred a loss of $8,616,328 for the year ended December
31, 2000. In addition, the Company is party to certain lawsuits at
December 31, 2000 that could have a material impact on the Company's
operations. The Company also has certain debts that are in default at
December 31, 2000. The Company's stockholders' deficit at December 31,
2000 was $790,039 and its current liabilities exceeded its current
assets by $1,683,089.
14
PEACOCK FINANCIAL CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
December 31, 2000 and 1999
NOTE 2 - GOING CONCERN (Continued)
These factors create uncertainty about the Company's ability to
continue as a going concern. The ability of the Company to continue as
a going concern is dependent on the Company obtaining adequate capital
to fund operating losses until it becomes profitable. If the Company
is unable to obtain adequate capital it could be forced to cease
operations. The Company decided to discontinue all of the soccer
operations of its subsidiaries as of December 31, 2000.
In order to continue as a going concern, develop and generate revenues
and achieve a profitable level of operations, the Company will need,
among other things, additional capital resources. Management's plans
to obtain such resources for the Company include (1) raising
additional capital through sales of common stock, (2) converting
promissory notes into common stock and (3) enter into acquisition
agreement with profitable entities with substantial operations. In
addition, management is continually seeking to improve the operations
and grow the business through a variety of venues. However, management
cannot provide any assurances that the Company will be successful in
accomplishing any of its plans.
The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent
upon its ability to successfully accomplish the plans described in the
preceding paragraph and eventually secure other sources of financing
and attain profitable operations. The accompanying consolidated
financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be
necessary if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern.
NOTE 3 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
A summary of the significant accounting policies consistently applied
in the preparation of the accompanying consolidated financial
statements follows:
a. Accounting Method
The Company's consolidated financial statements are prepared using the
accrual method of accounting. The Company has elected a December 31
year end.
b. Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash equivalents include short-term, highly liquid investments with
maturities of three months or less at the time of acquisition.
c. Partnership Investments
The Company's general and limited partnership interests are accounted
for using the equity method, which reflects historical cost adjusted
for the proportionate share of partnership earnings or losses. The
Company has not recorded its share of losses in excess of its
investment in each partnership.

December 31, 2000 and 1999
NOTE 3 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)
d. Fixed Assets
Fixed assets are recorded at cost. Major additions and improvement are
capitalized. The cost and related accumulated depreciation of
equipment retired or sold are removed from the accounts and any
differences between the undepreciated amount and the proceeds from the
sale are recorded as gain or loss on sale of assets. Depreciation is
computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful life
of the assets as follows:
Description Estimated Useful Life
----------- ---------------------
Furniture and fixtures 5 to 7 years
Computers and software 5 years
Automobiles 5 years
e. Basic and Diluted Loss Per Share
2000 1999
----- ----
Loss (numerator) $(8,616,328) $ (692,737)
Shares (denominator) 50,655,097 30,503,871
Per share amount $ (0.17) $ (0.02)
The computations of basic loss per share of common stock are based on
the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the
period of the consolidated financial statements. Common stock
equivalents, consisting of convertible debt and preferred shares, have
not been included in the calculation as their effect is antidilutive
for the periods presented.
f. Change in Accounting Principles
The Company has adopted the provisions of FASB Statement No. 138
"Accounting for Certain Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities,
(an amendment of FASB Statement No. 133.)" Because the Company had
adopted the provisions of FASB Statement No. 133, prior to June 15,
2000, this statement is effective for all fiscal quarters beginning
after June 15, 2000. The adoption of this principle had no material
effect on the Company's consolidated financial statements.
The Company has adopted the provisions of FASB Statement No. 140
"Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and
Extinguishments of Liabilities (a replacement of FASB Statement No.
125.)" This statement provides accounting and reporting standard for
transfers and servicing of financial assets and extinguishments of
liabilities. Those standards are based on consistent application of a
financial- components approach that focuses on control. Under that
approach, the transfer of financial assets, the Company recognized the
financial and servicing assets it controls and the liabilities it has
incurred, derecognizes financial assets when control has been
surrendered, and derecognizes liabilities when extinguished. This
statement provides consistent standards for distinguishing transfers
of financial assets that are sales from transfers that are secured
borrowings. This statement is effective for transfers and

servicing of financial assets and extinguishments of liabilities
occurring after March 31, 2001. This statement is effective for
recognition and reclassification of collateral and for disclosures
relating to securitization transactions and collateral for fiscal
years ending after December 15, 2000. The adoption of this principle
had no material effect on the Company's consolidated financial
statements.
The Company has adopted the provisions of FIN 44 "Accounting for
Certain Transactions Involving Stock Compensation (an interpretation
of APB Opinion No. 25.)" This interpretation is effective July 1,
2000. FIN 44 clarifies the application of Opinion No. 25 for only
certain issues. It does not address any issues related to the
application of the fair value method in Statement No. 123. Among other
issues, FIN 44 clarifies the definition of employee for purposes of
applying Opinion 25, the criteria for determining whether a plan
qualifies as a noncompensatory plan, the accounting consequence of
various modifications to the terms of a previously fixed stock option
or award, and accounting for an exchange of stock compensation awards
in a business combination. The adoption of this principle had no
material effect on the Company's consolidated financial statements.
g. Principles of Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements include those of Peacock
Financial Corporation (Colorado), its wholly-owned subsidiaries,
Peacock Real Estate Development Corporation (California) (PREDC),
Peacock International Corporation (Bahamas) (PIC), DotCom Ventures,
LLC (DotCom) and Peacock Sports, Inc. (PSI). They also include the
majority owned subsidiaries, Bay Area Soccer Development Corporation
(Bay Area) (80%), Orange County Soccer Development Corporation
(Orange) (85%), Riverside County Soccer Development Corporation
(Riverside) (53%), and iNet Partners, Inc. (iNet) (51%). All
significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been
eliminated.
h. Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates
and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and
liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the
date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues
and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ
from those estimates.
i. Concentrations of Risk
Credit losses, if any, have been provided for in the consolidated
financial statements and are based on management's expectations. The
Company's accounts receivable are subject to potential concentrations
of credit risk. The Company does not believe that it is subject to any
unusual, or significant risks in the normal course of its business.

j. Provision for Taxes
At December 31, 2000, the Company had an accumulated deficit of
$11,968,843 which includes net operating loss carryforwards that may
be offset against future taxable income through 2020. No tax benefit
has been reported in the consolidated financial statements as the
Company believes there is a 50% or greater chance the net operating
loss carryforwards will expire unused. Accordingly, the potential tax
benefits of the net operating loss carryforwards are offset by a
valuation allowance of the same amount.
The income tax benefit differs from the amount computed at federal
statutory rates of approximately 38% as follows:

============ =============
Due to the change in ownership provisions of the Tax Reform Act of
1986, net operating loss carryforwards for Federal income tax
reporting purposes are subject to annual limitations. Should a change
in ownership occur, net operating loss carryforwards may be limited as
to use in the future.
k. Advertising
The Company follows the policy of charging the costs of advertising to
expense as incurred.
l. Revenue Recognition
The Company receives shares in certain companies for providing capital
and investment services. The Company records investment banking income
based on the fair value of the shares received.
m. Accounts and Notes Receivable
Accounts and notes receivable are shown net of an allowance for
doubtful accounts of $1,760,100 as of December 31, 2000

NOTE 4 - INVESTMENTS IN LIMITED PARTNERSHIPS
During 1987, the Company formed a limited partnership agreement where
the Company is the general partner. The partnership was formed to
acquire and develop approximately 500 acres in San Jacinto, California.
The partnership currently owns certain residential lots, commercially
zoned property, and property zoned for high density senior apartments
within the community of Rancho San Jacinto. The general partner was not
required to make an initial capital contribution, thus the initial
investment was recorded at $-0-. The Company holds a 15% interest in
the limited partnership at December 31, 2000 and records the investment
under the equity method of accounting. The Company has not recorded its
share of losses in excess of its investment.
On June 29, 1992, the Company formed a limited partnership agreement to
acquire two apartment buildings to be repaired, developed, and managed
which are referred to as the Riverside Park Apartments. The partnership
acquired the property for $3,350,000 on July 10, 1992 for $670,000 in
cash and a promissory note of $2,680,000. In July 1992, the partnership
entered into an agreement whereby the City of Riverside loaned the
partnership $650,000 at 10.5 percent interest. The loan will be
forgiven by August 1, 2007. The debt and accrued interest are forgiven
at one-fifteenth of the original balance per year. The agreement
requires the partnership to meet certain restrictive covenants. The
Company remains the general partner with a 1% interest and receives a
property management fee.
In December 1995, the Company formed a limited liability company to
acquire a 63-lot residential subdivision in the San Jacinto Valley. In
March 1996, the limited liability company acquired an additional 110-
lot subdivision also in the San Jacinto Valley. The Company retains a
50% ownership in the limited liability company and also receives an
overhead fee for the construction and marketing of the homes. The
investment is recorded under the equity method.
During 1995, the Company received a $975,000 loan that converted to a
grant from the City of Riverside to acquire and rehabilitate a 120-unit
apartment complex (see Note 12). During April 1996, the Company was
awarded $2,400,000 in Federal tax credits. During December 1996, the
Company sold the completed project to a tax credit partnership named
Canyon Shadows, L.P. retaining a 1% interest as general partner and
receiving a $905,000 capital account in the partnership. During 1999, a
$70,000 note held by the Company was transferred to Canyon Shadows,
L.P., which was recorded as a capital distribution to the Company (see
Note 12). Additional costs of $411,639 were incurred by the Company on
behalf of the partnership resulting in a total investment in Canyon
Shadows, L.P. of $1,131,961 at December 31, 2000.
The Company currently owns 49% of Vir-Tek Company (Vir-Tek), a minority
disabled veteran engineering and contracting firm, formed to take
advantage of recently passed federal legislation (H.R. 1568) requiring
3% participation on all programs and projects funded by federal
dollars. Vir-Tek provides environmental management, facility and
operations management, mapping and information management, engineering
services, project management, and waste management. The company
emphasizes teamwork in industrial, and engineering problems. Vir-Tek
has served commercial, industrial, and residential construction
developers as well as concerns of city, county, and federal agencies.
The investment is recorded under the equity method. The Company has
also recorded a receivable from Vir-Tek totaling $139,029 for funds
advanced to Vir-Tek for operating expenses.

NOTE 6 - OTHER INVESTMENTS
During the year ended December 31, 1998, the Company became a Business
Development Corporation whereby the Company can raise capital under a
simplified and cost effective informational filing with the Securities
and Exchange Commission for the purpose of investing in small
businesses and government securities. The Company intends to provide
capital for these companies and to later take these companies public
through a spin-off process.
On October 19, 1998, the Company issued 1,000,000 shares of its
outstanding common stock valued at $100,000 to acquire an approximate
33% interest in IPO/Emerging Growth Company, LLC. (IPO). The investment
has been recorded under the equity method. The Company's share of the
1999 and 2000 loss recorded under the equity method was $16,513
bringing the equity investment at December 31, 2000 to $83,487.
On October 23, 1998, the Company issued 820,000 shares of its
outstanding common stock valued at $100,000 to acquire an approximate
5% interest in San Diego Soccer Development Corp. (SDSDC), owner of the
San Diego FLASH pro soccer team. On March 11, 1999, the Company issued
an additional 500,000 shares of its outstanding common stock valued at
$50,000 to acquire 200,000 additional shares of SDSDC. In addition, the
Company received an additional 400,000 shares of SDSDC during 1999,
valued at $200,000, as an investment fee for providing capital to
SDSDC. As part of the investment agreement, the Company distributed a
total of 294,999 shares of its SDSDC stock to the Company's
shareholders as a dividend valued at $165,614.
During 2000, the Company acquired an additional 1,050,000 restricted
shares of SDSDC for an additional cost of $531,519. 1,000,000 of those
shares were received as an investment fee recorded at $500,000 or $0.50
per share. A decline in the value of the shares was recorded at
December 31, 2000 of $607,055 bringing the total value of the 1,555,001
shares at December 31, 2000 to $108,850.

PEACOCK FINANCIAL CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
December 31, 2000 and 1999
NOTE 6 - OTHER INVESTMENTS (Continued)
On January 3, 2000, SDSDC became a publicly traded company. The shares
are thinly traded, however, until SDSDC is able to finalize a proposed
merger agreement. The Company's shares in SDSDC have been recorded at
their fair value at December 31, 2000 rather than cost because of the
significant decline in value. Once the shares become free-trading
shares on the open market, they will be recorded as "trading
securities" pursuant to SFAS 115. The shares represent an approximate
15% ownership in SDSDC at December 31, 2000. Management of the Company
does not exercise any influence or control over management of SDSDC.
On February 2, 1999, the Company issued 750,000 shares of its
outstanding common stock valued at $75,000 to acquire approximately 20%
(2,000,000 shares) of the outstanding shares of Solutions Media, Inc.
(Solutions). On June 15, 1999, the Company entered into a separate
agreement whereby the 750,000 shares of the Company were returned for
cancellation in exchange for the return of the 2,000,000 shares of
Solutions. As part of the agreement, the Company received 800,000
shares of Solutions as an investment fee valued at $400,000. The
investment was originally recorded under the cost method as the Company
did not exercise any influence or control over management of Solutions.
The 800,000 shares of Solutions represented an approximate ownership of
2% at December 31, 1999. Solutions filed for bankruptcy during 2000
under Chapter 7. Therefore, the investment in Solutions at December 31,
2000 was written down to $-0-, as there is no apparent current value of
the shares owned.
During 1999, the Company purchased 1,020,000 shares of Las Vegas Soccer
Development Corporation (LVSDC) for $20,000 cash, which represents an
approximate ownership of 25% at December 31, 2000. The investment has

During 2000, the Company invested a total of $180,000 in Bio-Friendly

distribute and market their bulk fuel additive on a world-wide basis.

Friendly for a total of 625,000 shares. The Company was also to receive

NOTE 10 - RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
The Company is a partner in several limited partnerships (Note 4). The
Company occasionally pays for operating expenses of the partnerships
and is reimbursed as funds become available to the partnerships. These
advances are non-interest bearing and are reimbursed on a regular
basis.
The Company is owed certain amounts from a former officer of the
Company and certain other related entities in the amount of $223,172.
The amounts are non-interest bearing and due on demand. An allowance
for bad debts of $143,407 has been recorded by the Company at December
31, 2000 due to collection uncertainty bringing the net amount to
$79,765.
NOTE 11 - PROFIT SHARING PLAN

b. Rents and Leases
----------------
During 1996, the Company acquired an historic 15-room hotel in
downtown San Jacinto and converted it into an executive suites office
building. Financing, which consisted of a seller carry-back loan of
$125,000 for the acquisition and a City of San Jacinto Redevelopment
loan of $193,088 for the rehabilitation was foreclosed on during 1999,
resulting in a gain on the disposition of the corresponding assets and
liabilities associated with the hotel of $4,635 for the year ended
December 31, 1999.
c. Wrap Around Mortgage
--------------------
The Company has sold a property subject to a mortgage. The mortgage
has not been fully assumed by the buyer. If the buyer defaults on the
mortgage, the Company may be liable for the balance owing.
d. Housing Grant
-------------
In April 1995, the Company acquired a 120 unit apartment complex using
a $975,000 loan that converts to a grant from the City of Riverside,
California. The loan is non- recourse and is secured by a second trust
deed on the property. If the Company meets certain requirements
pertaining to the complex, which have been stipulated by the city, the
loan will be forgiven in its entirety. Management has complied with
all of the requirements and believes that the repayment of $905,000
(the grant portion) of the $975,000 is highly remote. Accordingly,
$905,000 of the amount has been recorded as income to the Company for
the year ended December 31, 1997.
The remaining $70,000 plus accrued interest of $9,625 on the loan was
transferred to Canyon Shadows, L.P. (see Note 4) during 1999, reducing
the loss on investment in Canyon Shadows by $79,625 for the year ended
December 31, 1999.
If the Company fails to meet the requirements, however, the entire
unpaid principal balance, together with accrued interest, will become
due at the discretion of the City of Riverside and foreclosure
proceedings may be initiated on the property.
e. Litigation
----------
The Company is party to litigation and claims arising in the normal
course of business. Management is currently working on settlement
negotiations and has recorded a potential liability of $350,000
related to these lawsuit settlements. The outcome of these lawsuits
and claims cannot be determined as of the date of our audit report.
NOTE 13 - PREFERRED STOCK
The Company's preferred stock has the right to quarterly dividends to
be paid at the annual rate of 6%. The quarterly dividend is to be paid
to all shareholders of record, as of the last day of each quarter
until such time as the Company causes such shares to be converted to
common shares and "registered" (free trading) with the S.E.C. and the
appropriate State regulatory agency.
Each preferred share is convertible into one share of the common stock
of the Company, such conversion to occur automatically and registered
concurrently with any public offering of the common shares of the
Company.
