PART I
ITEM 1. DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS
OVERVIEW
Broadleaf Capital Partners, Inc., a Nevada corporation (the Company),
incorporated February 1984, has continued with its restructuring and plans
expansion through the ongoing development of its available operations, and
other business opportunities. The Company is a publicly traded diversified
investment holding company that makes direct investments in, and/or
acquisitions of, private and undervalued public companies in a variety of
different industries. In addition to the providing of management services, the
Company may participate in the formation of, and invest in emerging or early-
stage, small to medium size companies in various fields of business by
arranging for and contributing capital. 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 reasonable revenues through strong intellectual property rights and
experienced management.
BUSINESS STRATEGY
The Company continually seeks and evaluates investment opportunities that have
the potential of earning reasonable 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 investment focus is centered around six (6) core content
areas; real estate, transportation, branded sports and health, media and
communications, finance and energy fuels.
The Company plans to invest in ventures with a operating history, is performing
with the potential of 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 may require the
Company to dedicate certain 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.

finance the development of its business. Accordingly, the Company does not
expect to pay a cash dividend within the foreseeable future.

CAUTIONARY STATEMENTS FOR PURPOSES OF THE SAFE HARBOR PROVISIONS OF THE PRIVATE
SECURITIES LITIGATION REFORM ACT OF 1995.
The statements contained in the section captioned Management's Discussion and
Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations which are historical
are "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of Section 27A of the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange
Act of 1934, as amended. These forward-looking statements represent the
Registrant's present expectations or beliefs concerning future events. The
Registrant cautions that such forward-looking statements involve known and
unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors which may cause the actual
results, performance or achievements of the Registrant to be materially
different from any future results, performance or achievements expressed or
implied by such forward-looking statements. Such factors include, among other
things, the uncertainty as to the Registrant's future profitability; the
uncertainty as to the demand for Registrant's services; increasing competition
in the markets that Registrant conducts business; the Registrant's ability to
hire, train and retain sufficient qualified personnel; the Registrant's ability
to obtain financing on acceptable terms to finance its growth strategy; and the
Registrant's ability to develop and implement operational and financial systems
to manage its growth.
Results of Operations
Analysis of the calendar year ended December 31, 2003 compared to the calendar
year ended December 31, 2002.
For the calendar year ended December 31, 2003, revenues were approximately
$1,900 compared to $10,226 for the calendar year ended December 31, 2002, a
decrease of $8,326. The decrease was due to the concentration on the reduction
of the debt rather than generating revenues.
G&A expense decreased to $498,881 for the calendar year ended December 31, 2003
from $927,470 for the calendar year ended December 31, 2002, a decrease of
$428,589. The decrease in G&A was due to the decrease in professional services
and the cost of operating.
Depreciation expense for the calendar year ended December 31, 2003 was $9,984
compared to $34,560 for the calendar year ended December 31, 2002, a decrease
of $24,576. The decrease resulted from the method of depreciations.
Interest expense for the calendar year ended December 31, 2003 was $217,140
compared to $353,069 for the calendar year ended December 31, 2002 a decrease
of $135,929. The decrease is due to the debt reduction.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
On December 31, 2003 the Company had assets of $949,471 compared to $960,008
on December 31, 2002, a decrease of $10,537. The Company had a total
stockholders' deficit of $2,040,548 on December 31, 2003 compared to $3,453,252
on December 31, 2002, a decrease of $1,412,704.
On December 31, 2003 the Company had Property and Equipment (net of
depreciation) of $10,038 compared to $20,022 on December 31, 2002, or an
decrease of $9,984, which is a result of the disposition of equipment.
Going Concern - The Company's financial statements are prepared using the
generally accepted accounting principles applicable to a going concern, which
contemplates the realization of assets and liquidation of liabilities in the
normal course of business. The financial statements do not include any
adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of asset carrying
amounts or the amount of liabilities that might result should the Company be
unable to continue as a going concern.
The Company's consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the
assumption the Company will continue as a going concern. Management believes
that current operations will continue to provide sufficient revenues to meet
operating costs and expansion.
Unclassified Balance Sheet - In accordance with the provisions of SFAS No. 53,
the Company has elected to present an unclassified balance sheet.
Loss Per Share - The Company adopted the provisions of Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 128, "Earnings Per Share" that established
standards for the computation, presentation and disclosure of earnings per
share ("EPS"), replacing the presentation of Primary EPS with a presentation of
Basic EPS. It also requires dual presentation of Basic EPS and Diluted EPS on
the face of the income statement for entities with complex capital structures.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT
Broadleaf Capital Partners, Inc. and Subsidiaries
Board of Directors
Las Vegas, Nevada
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Broadleaf
Capital Partners, Inc. and Subsidiaries as of December 31, 2003 and 2002,
including the consolidated schedules of investments as of December 31, 2003 and
2002, and the related consolidated statements of operations, changes in
stockholders' equity (deficit), and cash flows for the years ended December 31,
2003, 2002, and 2001. 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 auditing standards generally
accepted in the United States of America. Those standards require that we plan
and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the
financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes
examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in
the financial 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
audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
As discussed more fully in Note 4 and 6 to the financial statements,
"investments" and "other investments" amounting to $922,374 (97% of net assets)
at December 31, 2003 have been valued at fair value as determined by the Board
of Directors. We have reviewed the procedures applied by the directors in
valuing such securities and have inspected underlying documentation; while in
the circumstances the procedures appear to be reasonable and the documentation
appropriate, determination of fair values involves subjective judgment which is
not susceptible to substantiation by auditing procedures.
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present
fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of
Broadleaf Capital Partners, Inc. and Subsidiaries as of December 31, 2003 and
2002, and the consolidated results of their operations and their cash flows for
the years ended December 31, 2003, 2002, and 2001 in conformity with accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
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 a significant deficit in
working capital, has a deficit in stockholders' equity and 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.

cash purchase price of the investment to be a fair valuation of the
investment at December 31, 2003.
c) During the year ended December 31, 2003, the Company entered into a
Settlement Agreement with International Sports and Media Group, Inc.
("ISMG") whereby the Company settled ISMG's debt payable to the Company.
As a part of this Settlement Agreement, the Company received 100,000
shares of ISMG's common stock, the market price of which was $0.10 per
share on the date the Agreement was executed. The Company's Investment
Committee has concluded that this is a fair means of valuing the
investment at December 31, 2003.
d) During the year ended December 31, 2003, the Company formed a wholly-
owned subsidiary called Silverleaf Venture Fund, Ltd. ("Silverleaf").
Since inception, Silverleaf has acted as a holding company for some of
the Company's investments. At December 31, 2003, the Company's
Investment Committee determined that the most appropriate means of
valuing the Company's investment in Silverleaf was at the total of
Silverleaf's assets as of December 31, 2003.

BROADLEAF CAPITAL PARTNERS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
December 31, 2003 and 2002
NOTE 1 -COMPANY BACKGROUND
The consolidated financial statements include those of Broadleaf
Capital Partners, Inc., a Nevada company, (Broadleaf), and its wholly-
owned subsidiaries, Peacock Real Estate Development Corporation
(PREDC), Peacock International Corporation (PIC), DotCom Ventures, LLC
(DotCom), Peacock Sports, Inc. (PSI), Broadleaf Asset Management (BAM),
Broadleaf Financial Services (BFS), and Brand Asset Management (Brand).
The consolidated financial statements also include its majority-owned
subsidiaries, Bay Area Soccer Development Corporation (Bay Area) (70%),
Orange County Soccer Development Corporation (Orange) (70%), Riverside
County Soccer Development Corporation (Riverside) (53%), and
iNetPartners, Inc. (iNet) (51%). Collectively, they are referred to
herein as "the Company".
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. PREDC has had no significant operations since inception.
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. During the years ended
December 31, 2003, 2002, and 2001, DotCom had no significant
operations.
PSI was incorporated in January 2000 to hold and manage investments in
professional sports. During the years ended December 31, 2003, 2002,
and 2001, PSI had no significant operations.
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 discontinued
operations effective December 31, 2000 (Note 13).
In February 2000, the Company acquired an 85% ownership interest for

The investment was recorded as a purchase. Effective December 31, 2000,
Bay Area discontinued its operations (Note 13).

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
December 31, 2003 and 2002
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. Effective December 31, 2000,
Riverside discontinued its operations (Note 13).
Broadleaf holds a 51% interest in iNet as of December 31, 2001. iNet
was organized under the laws of the State of California on December 15,
1999 with the intent to develop Internet e-commerce applications for
both the new and used automotive markets. Effective December 31, 2000,
iNet had no significant operations.
Broadleaf's remaining subsidiaries, BAM, BFS, and Brand, were all
incorporated in 2001. These subsidiaries have had no operations to
date, but were formed with the intent to help forward the Company's
business strategy.
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 $15,859,775 and $16,276,919 as of December
31, 2003 and 2002, respectively. The Company also has certain debts
that are in default at December 31, 2003. The Company's stockholders'
deficit at December 31, 2003 and 2002 was $2,040,548 and $3,453,252,
respectively, and its current liabilities exceeded its current assets
by $2,249,191 and $3,912,144, respectively.
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.
23
BROADLEAF CAPITAL PARTNERS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
December 31, 2003 and 2002
NOTE 2 - GOING CONCERN (Continued)
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) entering into acquisition agreements with
profitable entities with significant operations. In addition,
management is continually seeking to streamline its operations and
expand the business through a variety of industries, including real
estate and financial management. 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
Broadleaf Capital Partners, Inc. (the Company) is a closed-end
management investment company organized as a Nevada corporation. The
Company has elected to be regulated as a business development company
under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the 1940 Act).
Although business development companies should prepare their financial
statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted
in the United States of America, and are subject to audit as are other
investment companies, the statement presentation of some companies may
need to be tailored to present the information in a manner most
meaningful to their particular group of investors. Since debt is a
significant item, the Company concluded that a balance sheet would be
more appropriate than a statement of net assets. Also, the Company
believes Article 5 of Regulation S-X applies.

NOTE 3 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)
b. 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
c. Basic and Diluted Income (Loss) Per Share
2003 2002 2001
Income (loss) (numerator) $ 417,144 $ (652,990) $(3,655,086)
Shares (denominator) 41,450,802 17,657,498 1,313,955
Per share amount $ 0.01 $ (0.04) $ (2.78)
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.
d. Recent Accounting Pronouncements
During the year ended December 31, 2003, the Company adopted the
following accounting pronouncements which had no impact on the
consolidated financial statements or results of operations:
SFAS No. 143, Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations;
SFAS No.145, Recision of FASB Statements 4, 44, and 64,
amendment of Statement 13, and Technical Corrections;
SFAS No. 146, Accounting for Exit or Disposal Activities;
SFAS No. 147, Acquisitions of certain Financial
Institutions; and
SFAS No. 148, Accounting for Stock Based Compensation.
SFAS No.149, Amendment of Statement 133 on Derivative
Instruments and Hedging Activities;
SFAS No.150, Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments
with Characteristics of both Liabilities and Equity

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
December 31, 2003 and 2002
NOTE 3 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)
e. Principles of Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements include those of Broadleaf
Capital Partners, Inc., a Nevada corporation, and its wholly-owned
subsidiaries, Peacock Real Estate Development Corporation (California)
(PREDC), Peacock International Corporation (Bahamas) (PIC), DotCom
Ventures, LLC (DotCom), Peacock Sports, Inc. (PSI), Broadleaf Asset
Management (BAM), Broadleaf Financial Services (BFS), and Brand Asset
Management (Brand). 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.
f. Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States of America 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.
g. Provision for Taxes
Deferred taxes are provided on a liability method whereby deferred tax
assets are recognized for deductible temporary differences and
operating loss and tax credit carryforwards and deferred tax
liabilities are recognized for taxable temporary differences.
Temporary differences are the differences between the reported amounts
of assets and liabilities and their tax bases. Deferred tax assets are
reduced by a valuation allowance when, in the opinion of management, it
is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax
assets will not be realized. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are
adjusted for the effects of changes in tax laws and rates on the date
of enactment.
Net deferred tax assets consist of the following components as of
December 31, 2003 and 2002:
December 31,

The income tax provision differs from the amount of income tax
determined by applying the U.S. federal income tax rate to pretax
income from continuing operations for the years ended December 31,
2003, 2002, and 2001 due to the following:

At December 31, 2003, the Company had net operating loss carryforwards
of approximately $15,874,000 that may be offset against future taxable
income from the year 2003 through 2023. No tax benefit has been
reported in the December 31, 2002 financial statements since the
potential tax benefit is offset by a valuation allowance of the same
amount.
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 future years.
h. Advertising
The Company follows the policy of charging the costs of advertising to
expense as incurred.
i. Revenue Recognition
The Company receives shares in certain companies for providing capital
and investment services. The Company records management consulting
income based on the fair value of the shares received.

j. Investment Valuation
The Company's loans, net of participations and any unearned discount,
are considered investments under the 1940 Act and are recorded at fair
value. Since no ready market exists for these loans, the fair value is
determined in good faith by the Board of Directors. In determining the
fair value, the Company and Board of Directors consider factors such as
the financial condition of the borrower, the adequacy of the collateral
and individual credit risks.
Investments in equity securities are recorded at fair value,
represented as cost, plus or minus unrealized appreciation or
depreciation, respectively. The carrying values of investments that
have no readily-determinable market values are determined by the Board
of Directors, based upon its analysis of the assets and revenues of the
underlying investee companies.
Because of the inherent uncertainty of valuations, the Board of
Directors' estimates of the values of the investments may differ
significantly from the values that would have been used had a ready
market for the investments existed and the differences could be
material.
k. Reclassifications
Certain reclassifications have been made to prior year balances to
conform with the current year presentation.
l. Restricted Securities
All investments in securities are restricted shares, and have been
valued by the Board of Directors. In determining investment values, the
Board considers many pertinent factors, including the results of
operations of each company.

NOTE 4 - INVESTMENTS IN LIMITED PARTNERSHIPS
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 9). During April 1996, the Company was
awarded $2,400,000 in Federal tax credits relating to this project.
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 9). Additional costs 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's Board of Directors determined that the value of
this investment approximated the current interest in the partnership.
The valuation was based upon projected future occupancy of the
apartment unit. In 2002, Canyon Shadows distributed $101,422 to the
Company, leaving a balance of $937,424 at December 31, 2002. During
the year ended December 31, 2003, Canyon Shadows distributed an
additional $134,176 to the Company, while the Company invested an
additional $12,734 into the Investment.
On May 26, 2003 the Company entered into a Memorandum of Understanding
with an individual whereby the Company is to organize a subsidiary and
sell a 21% interest in the subsidiary to the individual for $200,000.
Immediately thereafter, the Company would transfer the control of the
Canyon Shadows LP to the new subsidiary. Thereafter, the individual is
to be entitled to 21% of the quarterly distributions from Canyon
Shadows LP or $5,000 whichever is greater. After twenty-four months
the individual has the option to sell her interest back to the Company
for $200,000. As of December 31, 2003, the Company has not yet formed
the subsidiary entity, but has been making cash payments to the
individual totaling 21% of the Company's monthly distribution from the
Canyon Shadows investment.

During the year ended December 31, 2003, the Company paid $25,000 for
100,000 shares of Nutek Oil, Inc. ("Nutek"). Nutek is a start-up oil
and gas exploration entity. The Company has elected to value its
investment in Nutek at cost.
During the 2003 fiscal year the Company received 125,000 shares of
Microsignal, Inc. from an unrelated entity that had defaulted on its
loan to the Company. These Microsignal shares were transferred into
the Company's wholly-owned subsidiary Silverleaf Venture Fund, Ltd.
("Silverleaf"). Silverleaf sold the shares at market value, and has
subsequently purchased various stocks and short-term investments. The
Company has elected to value its investment in Silverleaf at the
aggregate market value of Silverleaf's investment account, which, at
December 31, 2003, totaled $71,391.
During 2003 the Company reached a Settlement Agreement with
International Sports & Media Group, Inc. ("ISME") whereby the Company
forgave all of ISME's debts payable to the Company in exchange for a
cash payment of $125,000, 100,000 shares of ISME's common stock, and
warrants to purchase an additional 100,000 shares of ISME's common
stock at $1.00 per share. At the date this Settlement Agreement was
executed, the market value of ISME's common stock was $0.10 per share.
The Company has elected to value the investment in ISME at its market
value on this date, making a total value of $10,000 at December 31,
2003.

NOTE 8- 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.
NOTE 9 - COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
a. General Partner Obligations
The Company serves as general partner in several real estate
development partnerships. The Company may be held liable for certain
liabilities, although because the amounts are minimal and the entities
are limited liability companies, management does not feel that the
potential liabilities will have a material impact on the Company.
b. Housing Grant
In April 1995, the Company acquired a 120-unit apartment complex using
a $975,000 loan that was converted 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. As of December
31, 2003, 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.
a.Stock Escrow and Security Agreement
In October 2003, the Company entered into a Stock Escrow and Security
Agreement with Angus Holdings, LLC ("Angus") whereby the Company
borrowed $25,000 under the terms of a convertible promissory note. As
an additional provision of the

agreement, the Company deposited 3,000,000 shares of its common stock
into escrow, to be released to Angus should the Company default on the
terms of its convertible note agreement.
d. Litigation
At December 31, 2003, the Company was party to certain legal
proceedings, resulting in judgments payable totaling $2,083,300. The
following is a summary of those payables:
During the year, Bank of Hemet received a legal judgment against the
Company totaling $932,006. In 2000, however, the Company had
negotiated a settlement in this case for $100,000, and booked this
amount as a contingent liability at December 31, 2000. In 2001, the
Company defaulted on this settlement. As a result, during 2001, the
Company recorded the full amount of the judgment, less payments made
by the Company to Bank of Hemet. On November 20, 2002, the Company
negotiated another settlement on this amount totaling $280,000,
payable from proceeds from the Canyon Shadows investment. During
2002, the contingency was recorded at this amount plus interest
imputed at an annual rate of 8%. At December 31, 2002, this liability
is recorded at $269,535. In 2003, this liability was transferred to
an unrelated entity by the name of Jeager and Kodner, LP. ("JK"). The
Company negotiated a new settlement with JK whereby JK became entitled
to the Company's cash receipts from its Canyon Shadows investment
(less 21% - see Note 4), until JK is paid in full. As of December 31,
2003, the Bank of Hemet/JK liability totaled $168,794.
In 2000, a non-related individual filed suit against the Company.
Later that year, management negotiated a settlement with this
individual totaling $250,000, and the amount was recorded as a
contingent liability at December 31, 2000. In 2001 the Company
defaulted on the settlement agreement. As a result, during 2001, the
Company recorded the full amount of the alleged damages, less payments
made by the Company to the individual. On May 21, 2002, the Company
negotiated another settlement with this individual totaling $125,000
payable in cash payments and a convertible debenture. Subsequent to
May 2002, the Company defaulted on this settlement agreement. As a
result, in the current year, the Company recorded the full amount of
the alleged damages, less payments made by the Company to the
individual, plus interest imputed at an annual rate of 8%. At
December 31, 2002, this liability was recorded at $1,238,785. During
the year ended December 31, 2003, this amount was settled in full for
20,000,000 shares of the Company's common stock.
In 2001, 1st Miracle Group, Inc. received a legal judgment against the
Company totaling $100,000. Management was able to negotiate a
settlement on this amount, totaling $20,000. At December 31, 2003,
the liability is recorded at the settled amount, plus accrued interest
imputed at 8% annually totaling $23,328.

NOTE 9 - COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES (Continued)
In 2001, AMG Consulting brought legal action against the Company,
seeking damages of $21,012. During 2003, this amount was settled in
full for $6,000 in cash.
In 2002, a former employee received a legal judgment against the
Company totaling $20,110. At December 31, 2003, this liability is
recorded at the settled amount plus accrued interest imputed at 8%
annually for a total liability of $23,021.
NOTE 10 -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.
NOTE 11 -SEGMENT INFORMATION
At December 31, 2000, the Company operated in three separate and
distinct business arenas: website development, business management
consulting, and professional soccer franchise management. The Company
discontinued its soccer operations in the 2000 fiscal year, and its
other segments have been inactive through December 31, 2003.
NOTE 12 -INVESTMENTS AND INVESTMENT VALUATION
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 in order to invest in real
estate and eligible portfolio companies. This resulted in the Company
becoming a specialized type of investment company.
As required by ASR 118, the investment committee of the company is
required to assign a fair value to all investments. To comply with
Section 2(a)(41) of the Investment Company Act and Rule 2a-4 under the
Investment Company Act, it is incumbent upon the board of directors to
satisfy themselves that all appropriate factors relevant to the value
of securities for which market quotations are not readily available
have been considered and to determine the method of arriving at the
fair value of each such security. To the extent considered necessary,
the board may appoint persons to assist them in the determination of
such value, and to make the actual calculations pursuant to the
board's direction. The board must also, consistent with this
responsibility, continuously review the appropriateness of the method
used in valuing each issue of security in the company's portfolio.
The directors must recognize their responsibilities in this matter and
whenever technical assistance is requested from individuals who are
not directors, the findings of such
BROADLEAF CAPITAL PARTNERS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
December 31, 2003 and 2002
NOTE 12 -INVESTMENTS AND INVESTMENT VALUATION (Continued)
intervals must be carefully reviewed by the directors in order to
satisfy themselves that the resulting valuations are fair.
No single standard for determining "fair value... in good
faith" can be laid down, since fair value depends upon the
circumstances of each individual case. As a general principle, the
current "fair value" of an issue of securities being valued by the
board of directors would appear to be the amount which the owner might
reasonably expect to receive for them upon their current sale.
Methods which are in accord with this principle may, for example, be
based on a multiple of earnings, or a discount from market of a
similar freely traded security, or yield to maturity with respect to
debt issues, or combination of these and other methods. Some of the
general factors which the directors should consider in determining a
valuation method for an individual issue of securities include: 1)
the fundamental analytical data relating to the investment, 2) the
nature and duration of restrictions on disposition of the securities,
and 3) an evaluation of the forces which influence the market in which
these securities are purchased and sold. Among the more specific
factors which are to be considered are: type of security, financial
statements, cost at date of purchase, size of holding, discount from
market value of unrestricted securities of the same class at time of
purchase, special reports prepared by analysis, information as to any
transactions or offers with respect to the security, existence of
merger proposals or tender offers affecting the securities, price and
extent of public trading in similar securities of the issuer or
comparable companies, and other relevant matters.
The investment valuation method adopted in 1982 provides for the
Company's Board of Directors to be responsible for the valuation of
the Company's investments (and all other assets). In the development
of the Company's valuation methods, factors that affect the value of
investees' securities, such as escrow provisions, trading volume and
significant business changes are taken into account. These investments
are carried at fair value using the following four basic methods of
evaluation:
a. Cost - The cost method is based on the original cost to the
Company, adjusted for amortization of original issue discounts and
accrued interest for certain capitalized expenditures of the
corporation. Such method is to be applied in the early stages of an
investee's development until significant positive or adverse events
subsequent to the date of the original investment require a change to
another method.
b. Private market - The private market method uses actual or proposed
third party transactions in the investee's securities as a basis for
valuation, utilizing actual firm offers as well as historical
transactions, provided that any offer used is seriously considered and
well documented by the investee.
c. Public market - The public market method is the preferred method of
valuation when there is an established public market for the
investee's securities. In determining whether the public market method
is sufficiently established for valuation purposes, the corporation is
directed to examine the trading volume, the number of shareholders and
the number of market makers in the investee's securities, along with
the trend in trading volume as compared to the Company's proportionate
share of the investee's securities. If the security is restricted, the
value is discounted at an appropriate rate.

NOTE 12 -INVESTMENTS AND INVESTMENT VALUATION (Continued)
d. Appraisal - The appraisal method is used to value an investment
position after analysis of the best available outside information
where there is no established public or private market method which
have restrictions as to their resale as denoted in the schedule of
investments are also considered to be restricted securities.
All portfolio securities valued by the cost, private market and
appraisal methods are considered to be restricted as to their
disposition. In addition, certain securities valued by the public
market method which have restrictions as to their resale as denoted in
the schedule of investments are also considered to be restricted
securities.
NOTE 13 - DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS
Effective December 31, 2000, the Company discontinued the operations
of the Bay Area, Orange and Riverside soccer subsidiaries. The
following is a summary of the loss from discontinued operations
resulting from the dissolution of these subsidiaries. The Company has
established a reserve for discontinued operations of $311,813 and
$295,892 at December 31, 2003 and 2002, respectively, which consists
of net liabilities in excess of recoverable assets. No tax benefit has
been attributed to the discontinued operations.

ITEM 8. CHANGES IN AND DISAGREEMENTS WITH ACCOUNTANTS ON ACCOUNTING AND
FINANCIAL DISCLOSURES
In its two most recent fiscal years or any later interim period, the Company
has had no disagreements with its certifying accountants on accounting and
financial disclosures.
ITEM 8A. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Within 90 days prior to the date of filing of this report, we carried out an
evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our management,
including the Chief Executive Officer (who also effectively serves as the Chief
Financial Officer), of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and
procedures. Based on this evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer concluded
that our disclosure controls and procedures are effective for gathering,
analyzing and disclosing the information we are required to disclose in the
