PART I ITEM 1. BUSINESS General ------- Jordan American Holdings, Inc. ("JAHI" or the "Company"), a Florida corporation incorporated in 1989, is a diversified company with four wholly-owned subsidiaries providing a range of financial products and services, including investment advisory services, broker/dealer and mutual fund distribution services, mutual fund administrative and transfer agent services and tax and business services. Investment advisory services are offered through Equity Assets Management, Inc. ("EAM"). IMPACT Financial Network, Inc. ("IFNI") offers brokerage services and mutual fund distribution services. Mutual fund administrative and transfer agent services are offered through IMPACT Administrative Services, Inc. ("IASI".) IMPACT Tax & Business Services, Inc. (`ITABS") offers a full range of accounting, tax and business services. Developments during the fiscal year 2001 within the investment advisory company, the broker/dealer company, the mutual fund servicing company and the tax and business services company are described in the section below entitled "Operations." W. Neal Jordan was removed as Chairman of the Board of Directors of the Company, as President and as Chief Executive Officer and Chief Investment Officer on June 4, 2001 by a majority vote of the Board of Directors of the Company. Mr. Charles R. Clark succeeded Mr. Jordan as Chairman of the Board of Directors and Chief Investment Officer. Mr. A.J. Elko succeeded Mr. Jordan as Chief Executive Officer and President. During the fiscal year ended December 31, 2001, the Company was not involved in any bankruptcy, receivership or similar proceedings or any other material reclassifications, mergers or consolidations, and the Company did not acquire or dispose of any material amount of assets during such year. Operations ---------- JAHI historically conducted its investment advisory business under the name Equity Assets Management. In 2000, JAHI formed EAM as a wholly-owned subsidiary and moved its investment advisory business into EAM. EAM is an investment advisory firm that specializes in the management of accounts, the majority of which are held by semi-affluent individual clients and billed on an incentive fee basis, containing equity securities of United States public companies. EAM manages investment portfolios for individuals, trusts, corporate pension plans, other corporate accounts, foundations and mutual funds. In 2001, EAM planned, with respect to its product line, to offer additional mutual fund products, including an insurance series developed for a variable annuity product. These additional products were developed but never distributed primarily due to the removal of W. Neal Jordan from his position as Senior Portfolio Manager for EAM. Incentive based advisory fees on assets under management for semi-affluent investors provide the largest portion of the Company's revenues, but have been declining since 2000. The Company believes that this trend may continue through 2002 and beyond. A semi-affluent investor generally has a total net worth greater than $1 million and less than $10 million. The assets of these and other clients have recently been declining primarily due to investment performance results achieved within the individual accounts. For the year ended December 31, 2001 no single client provided more than 5% of the 2
10KSB4th Page of 30TOC1stPreviousNextBottomJust 4th
Company's consolidated revenues. Accordingly, the loss of any single client would not have a material adverse effect on the Company's total investment management business. The investment objective of the individually held portfolios is significant capital appreciation or growth. EAM is compensated for its management of these accounts through two primary methods. EAM receives a fixed advisory fee based on the value of assets under management or an incentive based advisory fee based upon the account's annual performance results, or a combination of the two. EAM managed 180 individual accounts with assets under management of approximately $19 million at December 31, 2001, down from $38 million at the prior year-end. Approximately 30% of the assets under management in these accounts pay the fixed percentage of assets fee of approximately 1.9% annually. Approximately 70% of the assets under management in these accounts are billed on an incentive fee basis, whereby the Company normally receives 20% of the net realized and unrealized gains, including dividends and interest, in the account following each year of management. Exceptional management performance results in the incentive fee based accounts may cause substantial revenues for the Company while poor performance in the same accounts may yield little or no revenues for the Company. Additionally, because incentive fee based contracts are billed on an annual basis for each respective client, there may be a delay in billing revenue for as long as eleven months from the time when actual account performance results were achieved. Thus, performance in these accounts may or may not benefit the revenues of the Company for nearly one year after such performance results were achieved, depending on the billing cycle of respective clients and the results of investments held in the portfolio during the interim period prior to the calculation of the billing. The Company also manages the Impact Total Return Portfolio (the "Portfolio"), a mutual fund with assets under management of approximately $6.6 million at December 31, 2001. The Company receives a management fee of 1.25% per annum calculated on the Portfolio's average daily net assets. Of this amount, the Company pays a sub-advisor .60% per annum of the Portfolio's average daily net assets for selecting the securities for the Portfolio. The Company operates a registered broker-dealer, IMPACT Financial Network, Inc. ("IFNI"), which is a wholly owned-subsidiary of the Company and a member of the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. ("NASD") and the Securities Investor Protection Corporation ("SIPC"). Approximately 90% of EAM's individually managed accounts maintain brokerage accounts with IFNI for assets placed under EAM's management. IFNI is compensated for securities transactions on behalf of the Company's managed accounts by receipt of commissions for orders executed through Pershing & Co., a division of Donaldson, Lufkin, & Jenrette, a securities corporation. Pershing & Co., a member of SIPC, acts as clearing firm and custodian and processes all confirmations and monthly statements for EAM clients who choose to hold their accounts with IFNI. Clients may decide to custody their accounts at another brokerage institution of their own choosing. IFNI also serves as the national distributor for the Portfolio and other Impact Funds. IFNI receives a fee from the various funds in exchange for marketing and distributing the Funds. The fee varies according to the class of shares distributed. It is used to pay for marketing and distribution expenses related to the mutual fund, including sales commissions. Management believes that IFNI will continue to be a source of revenue for the Company primarily through the commissions earned on securities transactions. 3
10KSB5th Page of 30TOC1stPreviousNextBottomJust 5th
The Company operates a mutual fund servicing company, Impact Administrative Services, Inc. ("IASI"), which is a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company and a registered transfer agent with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") and a member of the Investment Company Institute. IASI provides administrative, dividend disbursement and transfer agent services to the Portfolio. In 2001, the Company received a fee of .35% per annum of the Portfolio's average daily net assets to pay for costs associated with the administration of the Portfolio. The Company believes that IASI may become a potential revenue source for the Company by providing similar services to other funds and outside small mutual fund families. The Company acquired the assets of a tax preparation and tax planning services company in late 2000 through Impact Tax & Business Services, Inc., (ITABS) a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company formed in November 2000. ITABS, at December 31, 2001 provided tax planning and tax preparation services to approximately 181 individual clients, 55 individuals with sole proprietorships and 12 small businesses. The Company believes ITABS may continue to grow and become a stable revenue source for the Company. The Company is considering an expansion of ITABS products and services as a move to provide a more predictive source of revenue and future profits that are not subject to the same variables that can effect the Company's historic lines of business that are based upon performance-based fees. Total assets under management and corporate earnings may substantially increase or decrease due to stock market conditions, including the onset of a long-term declining, or bear market; performance returns as influenced by EAM's investment advisory decisions; expense and related effectiveness of marketing efforts; and competition from other investment advisory companies and mutual funds. Other indirect influences, such as interest rate changes by the Federal Reserve Board, economic conditions such as high inflation and/or recession, international events, acts of terrorism, and other factors may also affect assets under management and corporate earnings. The Industry ------------ Revenues in the investment advisory business are determined primarily by fees based on the value of assets under management and on investment performance results. Therefore, the principal determinants of growth in the industry are the growth of individual assets under management and achieving positive investment performance results. In management's judgment, the major factors which influence growth in the industry are: (1) changes in the market value of securities; (2) net cash flow into or out of existing accounts; (3) gains of new or losses of existing accounts; and (4) the general stock market condition. Competition ----------- EAM competes to manage investment portfolios for individuals, trusts, corporate pension plans, other corporate accounts, and foundations. Management believes that the most important factors affecting competition in the investment advisory business are: (1) the abilities and reputations of investment advisors; (2) the differences in the investment performance results achieved by investment advisory firms; (3) the stability of a firm's workforce, especially of portfolio managers; (4) an effective marketing force and distribution system; and (5) quality of client services. EAM has many competitors, including other investment advisors, investment companies, broker-dealers and financial planners in addition to investment alternatives offered by insurance companies, 4
10KSB6th Page of 30TOC1stPreviousNextBottomJust 6th
banks, credit unions, securities dealers and other financial institutions. Many of these institutions possess large sales forces and significant financial resources, are able to engage in more extensive marketing and advertising than EAM and may offer accounts insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation. Management believes the Company's long-term performance history for individually managed accounts, the adverse effect on EAM's reputation resulting from the circumstances surrounding the litigation initiated by W. Neal Jordan against the Company and the short-term and long-term market conditions and projections will substantially hinder the Company's ability to remain competitive within this highly competitive industry and hinder its ability to achieve long term success in the Company's historical core business. Therefore, the Company intends to consider a restructuring of EAM in 2002 (See Item 6, "Liquidity and Capital Resources"). Regulation ---------- EAM is registered with and subject to regulation by the SEC under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940 and, where applicable, under state advisory laws. EAM is also subject to regulation by the SEC under the Investment Company Act of 1940. IFNI is registered as a broker-dealer with the SEC under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the "Exchange Act") and, where applicable, under state securities laws, and is regulated by the SEC, state securities administrators and the NASD. IASI is registered as a transfer agent under the Exchange Act and is regulated by the SEC. By law, investment advisors and broker-dealers are fiduciaries and are required to serve their clients' interests with undivided loyalty. There is a potential conflict of interest because of the affiliation between EAM and IFNI. While EAM believes that its existing relationships are in compliance with applicable laws and regulations, because of this potential conflict of interest, the SEC may closely examine these relationships. Many aspects of the financial services industry involve substantial liability risks, including exposure under federal and state securities laws in connection with the distribution of securities and investment advisor activities. Although the Company currently maintains errors and omission insurance policies insuring against this risk, such insurance does not necessarily protect the Company against loss in all events. There can be no assurance that any changes to existing laws, regulations or rulings promulgated by government entities having jurisdiction over the Company's investment advisory, broker-dealer, investment company and commodities trading business will not have an adverse effect upon the business of the Company. 5

Employees --------- At March 1, 2002, the Company employed 8 full-time personnel, three of whom are executive officers of the Company. The Company utilizes the services of independent contractors to assist the employees in the operation of the Company's business. ITEM 2. PROPERTIES The Company currently maintains its headquarters at 333 West Vine Street, Suite 206, Lexington, Kentucky. The Company also currently has satellite offices in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania and Steamboat Springs, Colorado. In a move to reduce overhead and consolidate operations, the Company has recently sub-leased its offices in the Boston, Massachusetts area and is proceeding to sub-lease its Lexington, Kentucky offices and move its headquarters to the Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania area. All current properties are leased for a total of approximately $5,200 per month. All properties currently under a sub-lease agreement are sub-leased for a total of approximately $1,185 per month. ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS On June 27, 2001, W. Neal Jordan initiated litigation against the Company and Messrs. A. J. Elko and Charles R. Clark in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Kentucky. On October 2, 2001 the District Court issued a preliminary injunction to preclude, in connection with the Company's Annual Meeting of Shareholders scheduled to be held on October 4, 2001, the counting of the 3,100,000 shares of the Company's common stock issued on August 6, 2001, to the Kirkland S. & Rena B. Lamb Foundation in exchange for 1,500,000 shares of the Company's outstanding preferred stock. The Court denied without prejudice Mr. Jordan's motion for a preliminary injunction to prevent the Company from issuing any additional shares of the Company's common stock. The Court also denied the Company's motion to dismiss the litigation. On October 3, 2001, the Company appealed the District Court's issuance of the preliminary injunction to the United States Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit. On October 4, 2001, the Company filed an emergency motion for a stay of The District Court's preliminary injunction. That same day, a judge of the Court of Appeals issued an order enjoining the parties from holding any shareholder's meeting or conducting any shareholder's vote pending consideration by a regular three-judge motions panel of the Preliminary Injunction entered by the District Court. On October 25, 2001, the Court of Appeals granted the Company's motion to expedite the appeal. On October 26, 2001, a three-judge panel of the Court of Appeals entered an order dissolving the temporary stay of the District Court's preliminary injunction granted on October 4, 2001 and denied the Company's motion for a stay of enforcement of the District Court's preliminary injunction while the appeal is pending. On February 22, 2002, the District Court affirmed its order of January 25, 2002, denying all pending motions, pending a ruling by the Court of Appeals. The appellate court has not scheduled a hearing date as of the date of filing this document. The management of the Company does not believe the claims to be meritorious and does not expect the resolution of this matter to have a material adverse effect on the Company's operations. In connection with a late 1997 examination of the Company, the SEC raised certain issues regarding possible violations of the federal securities laws in connection with the private placement of debentures of Boston Restaurant Associates, Inc. Management of the Company does not expect the resolution of this matter to have any material adverse effect on the Company's financial condition, results of operations or business. Other than the foregoing, the Company is not a party to any material litigation, and management has no knowledge of any threatened material litigation against the Company. 6

ITEM 4. SUBMISSION OF MATTERS TO A VOTE OF SECURITY HOLDERS During the third quarter of the 2001 fiscal year, the Company and Mr. W. Neal Jordan submitted solicitation for proxies to the shareholders to vote for competing slates of Board of Director nominees, and certain other matters, at the Company's Annual Meeting of Shareholder's scheduled for October 4, 2001. Because of the initial stay granted by the appellate court, as described in Item 3 above, the Annual Shareholder's Meeting was not held on October 4th, 2001. As required by applicable Florida corporate law, the Company will call a new shareholder's meeting and will set a new record date for that meeting. During the period covered by this report, no other matters were submitted to a vote of security holders through the solicitation of proxies or otherwise. PART II ITEM 5. MARKET FOR COMMON EQUITY AND RELATED STOCKHOLDER MATTERS Market for Common Stock ----------------------- The Company's common stock currently trades on the OTC Bulletin Board under the symbol "JAHI." The following are the high and low sales prices for JAHI for the two-year period ended December 31, 2001. Such prices may represent high and low bid quotations or prices between dealers in securities and do not include retail markup, markdown, or commissions and may not necessarily represent actual transactions. Year Ended December 31, 2000 High Low --------------------------------------------------------- First Quarter $0.42 $0.20 Second Quarter $0.38 $0.13 Third Quarter $0.29 $0.15 Fourth Quarter $0.32 $0.13 Year Ended December 31, 2001 High Low --------------------------------------------------------- First Quarter $0.18 $0.05 Second Quarter $0.10 $0.05 Third Quarter $0.15 $0.05 Fourth Quarter $0.11 $0.05 On February 26, 2002, the closing price of the Company's common stock was $0.03. As of February 26, 2002, approximately 1,015,000 shares of its common stock were held in accounts of EAM clients, which represented approximately 7% of the Company's outstanding shares of common stock as of December 31, 2001. Wallace Neal Jordan owned approximately 31% of the Company's outstanding shares of common stock at December 31, 2001. Dividends --------- Common The Company has not paid or declared cash dividends on its common stock since inception and does not anticipate paying dividends in the foreseeable future. At December 31, 2001, the Company's policy was to retain all earnings for application in its business. Payment of future cash 7
10KSB9th Page of 30TOC1stPreviousNextBottomJust 9th
dividends is at the discretion of the Board of Directors and will depend upon earnings, financial requirements of the Company and other such factors as the Board of Directors may deem relevant. Preferred From February 1993 until June 30, 1998, the Company made semi-annual cash dividend payments on its cumulative convertible non-voting preferred stock at a rate of 8% per annum. The Company did not make any dividend payments on this stock in 1999 and 2000. On December 29, 2000, the company entered into a preferred stock exchange agreement (the "Agreement") with its sole preferred shareholder (the "Shareholder"). The Shareholder was the owner of 3,000,000 shares of the Company's 8% Convertible Redeemable Cumulative Preferred Stock (the "Outstanding Preferred Stock"). The Company was in arrears with respect to the payment of dividends on the Outstanding Preferred Stock, which arrearages totaled $600,000 as of December 31, 2000 (the "Dividend Arrearage"). The Agreement provided that the Company declare and pay a cash dividend of $100,000 on the Outstanding Preferred Stock and exchange 3,500,000 shares of a new 2000 Convertible Preferred Stock (the "New Preferred Stock") for the 3,000,000 shares of the Outstanding Preferred Stock and cancellation of the $500,000 balance of the Dividend Arrearage. The New Preferred Stock is convertible into JAHI common stock at the rate of one share of common stock for each $3.50 of the face amount of the New Preferred Stock and will have a dividend rate of 3% for each of the calendar years 2001 through 2003, 4% for calendar year 2004, 5% for calendar year 2005, 6% for calendar year 2006, 7% for calendar year 2007, and 8% for calendar year 2008 and thereafter. The Company relied upon the exemption from registration contained in Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, for the issuance of the New Preferred Stock. Shareholders ------------ At December 31, 2001, there were 14,217,266 outstanding shares of the Company's common stock and 252 shareholders of record. ITEM 6. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS Safe Harbor for Forward-Looking Statements ------------------------------------------ Information found in this report contains forward-looking implications, which may differ materially from actual results due to the success, or lack thereof, of JAHI's management decisions, marketing and sales effectiveness, investment decisions, and the management of clients' stock portfolios and pooled investments as influenced by market conditions, Federal Reserve Board policy, economic trends, political developments, domestic and international events, and other factors. There can be no guarantee that any forward-looking implications discussed and/or referenced in this report will have any impact, positive or negative, upon the earnings, value and/or operations of the Company. Results of Operations --------------------- Net loss for 2001 was $1,493,496 or $0.14 per common share and share equivalent compared to a net loss of $4,013 or $0.02 per common share and share equivalent for 2000. The increase in net loss was primarily caused by the decrease in investment advisory fees during 2001. 8
10KSB10th Page of 30TOC1stPreviousNextBottomJust 10th
Revenues from investment advisory fees for 2001 totaled $247,562 compared to $2,753,348 for 2000, a decrease of 91%. Realized losses on trading equity securities for 2001 were $250,914 compared to realized losses on trading equity securities of $283,407 for 2000. Commission revenues increased for 2001 to $351,138, as compared to $241,679 for 2000, an increase of approximately 45%. This increase was primarily due to an increase in the volume of securities transactions for client accounts by the Company based on its investment strategy, market conditions and other factors. Selling, general, and administrative ("SG&A") expenses of $2,091,690 were incurred during 2001, compared to SG&A expenses of $2,221,318 for 2000, a decrease of approximately 6%. The decrease in SG&A expenses stems primarily from a decrease in selling expenses related to fees paid to investment advisory sales representatives. Total other income (loss) was $171,638 for 2001, compared to ($467,815) for 2000. The increase in other income can be primarily attributed to unrealized gains on trading equity securities of $69,958 in 2001, compared to unrealized losses of $619,943 in 2000. Liquidity and Capital Resources ------------------------------- At December 31, 2001, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $91,984 versus $1,029,173 at December 31, 2000. This decrease is primarily due to the decrease in net cash provided by operating activities. Marketable securities were valued at $49,298 at December 31, 2001, as compared to $328,609 at December 31, 2000, a decrease of approximately 85%. The decrease in marketable securities can be primarily attributed to the sale of a majority of the securities owned at December 31, 2000 in order to meet operating expenses in 2001. Net investment advisory fees receivable were $16,394 at December 31, 2001, as compared to $195,253 at December 31, 2000, a decrease of approximately 92%. This decrease can be primarily attributed to significantly lower incentive-based billings in 2001 as compared to 2000. Accounts payable and accrued expenses were $146,080 at December 31, 2001, as compared to $195,359 at December 31, 2000, a decrease of approximately 25%. The decrease in accounts payable and accrued expenses can be primarily attributed to lower accrued expenses for fees due investment advisor sales representatives. Accruals are based upon actual expenses incurred as well as unbilled expenses. Net cash used in operating activities for fiscal year 2001 was $911,441 compared to net cash provided by operations of $834,502 for the same period in 2000. This change was due primarily to the net loss for the year ended December 31, 2001. Net cash used in investing activities for fiscal year 2001 was $60,248 compared to $286,086 for 2000. This change was due primarily to the issuance of a note receivable related to the Company's investment in a start-up business as an "angel" investor in 2000. Net cash provided by financing activities for fiscal year 2001 was $34,500 compared to net cash used in financing activities of $100,000 in 2000. This change was due primarily the exercising of stock options during 2001. At December 31, 2001, the Company had $141,282 in cash and marketable securities. 9

Negative stock market trends have impaired the Company's ability to gather new assets into the individually managed accounts. Negative investment performance within the individually managed accounts has impaired the Company's ability to earn performance-based revenues. Because of these negative trends, the Company may not generate sufficient revenues to continue current operations through the next twelve months.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT To the Board of Directors Jordan American Holdings, Inc. and Subsidiaries We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Jordan American Holdings, Inc. and Subsidiaries as of December 31, 2001 and 2000, and the related consolidated statements of operations, changes in stockholders' equity, and cash flows for the years then ended. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these 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 audits 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. In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Jordan American Holdings, Inc. and Subsidiaries as of December 31, 2001 and 2000, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for the years then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 9 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company has suffered recurring losses from operations that raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. Management's plans in this regard are also discussed in Note 9. /s/ SPICER, JEFFRIES & CO. Denver, Colorado March 1, 2002 13

JORDAN AMERICAN HOLDINGS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS ========================================== NOTE 1 - ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES ORGANIZATION ------------ Jordan American Holdings, Inc. and Subsidiaries (JAHI/the Company) was incorporated in Florida in May 1989. JAHI has conducted its investment advisory business under the name of Equity Assets Management. In 2001, JAHI announced the formation of a wholly owned subsidiary named Equity Assets Management, Inc. (EAM) and moved its investment advisory business into that entity. EAM provides investment advisory and portfolio management services to individual investors, pooled accounts and its mutual fund with its customers located substantially in the United States. EAM is registered as an investment advisor under the Investment Advisor Act of 1940. The Company also owns 100% of the issued and outstanding common stock of IMPACT Financial Network, Inc. (IFNI), IMPACT Administrative Services, Inc. (IASI) and IMPACT Tax and Business Services, Inc. (ITABS). IASI provides operational and administrative support to Impact Management Investment Trust (see Note 2). EAM's customer investment transactions are primarily brokered through IFNI, a registered broker-dealer in securities acting as a non-clearing introducing broker. ITABS, created in September 2000, provides tax preparation and tax planning services to individuals and small businesses (see Note 5). The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of JAHI and its subsidiaries; all significant intercompany transactions have been eliminated during consolidation. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES ------------------------------- Investment advisory fees received in advance are deferred and amortized into income over the period in which services are performed. Investment advisory fees based on a percentage of the annual increase in the market value of a customer's portfolio (including interest and dividends) are recognized at the contract anniversary date. Fees due to sales representatives are recognized when such fees are earned. Commission income is recognized on a settlement date basis, which does not differ materially from the trade date basis of accounting. For purposes of the statements of cash flows, the Company considers money market funds at brokers with maturities of three months or less to be cash equivalents. 19

JORDAN AMERICAN HOLDINGS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS ========================================== (Continued) NOTE 1 - ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued) SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued) ------------------------------- Marketable securities consist principally of corporate stocks. These securities are carried at market value, as determined by nationally recognized securities exchanges. Restricted securities are valued based on the judgment of the Company's management reflecting various factors as to the amount that the Company might reasonably expect to receive upon disposition to a willing purchaser. Consideration is given to factors such as earnings history, financial condition, recent sales prices of the issuer's securities and the proportion of securities owned. The cost of marketable securities was $114,104 and $613,373 at December 31, 2001 and 2000 respectively. The Company has entered into an agreement with a clearing broker that requires a minimum restricted cash balance of $25,000. Due to the restricted nature of the cash deposit, it is not considered a cash equivalent for financial reporting purposes. Property, equipment and leasehold improvements are carried at cost. Depreciation and amortization is computed using straight-line and accelerated methods over the estimated useful lives of the related assets ranging from three to seven years. Intangible assets are amortized on a straight-line basis over a period of fifteen years. The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes". Under the asset and liability method of Statement 109, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the estimated future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax basis. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. Earnings per share requires presentation of both basic earnings per common share and diluted earnings per common share. Common stock equivalents are not included in the weighted average calculation since their effect would be anti-dilutive. Net income (loss) per common share has been adjusted to reflect preferred stock dividends paid or in arrears of $105,000 and $240,000 for the years ending December 31, 2001 and 2000 (see Note 4). The Financial Accounting Standards Board issued statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123 ("SFAS 123"), "Accounting for Stock-based Compensation" which recommends, but does not require, measuring compensation cost for stock options based on the fair value of the options at the grant date. The Company has elected not to adopt SFAS 123 but continues to apply Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25 and related Interpretations in accounting for the Plan and other stock option activity. 20

JORDAN AMERICAN HOLDINGS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS ========================================== (Continued) NOTE 1 - ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued) SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued) ------------------------------- 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 amount of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates, and such differences may be material to the consolidated financial statements. Certain 2000 amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation. NOTE 2 - IMPACT MANAGEMENT INVESTMENT TRUST The Company formed Impact Management Investment Trust (the Trust), which is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 as a diversified, open-end management investment company (mutual fund). The Trust includes two series (the Portfolio). EAM is the investment advisor of the Trust and IFNI is the primary distributor of the Trust. At December 31, 2001 and 2000, the market value of the Company's investment in the Portfolio was $1,608 and $1,348, respectively, which is included in marketable securities in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. As investment advisor of the Portfolio, EAM receives an annual investment advisory fee equal to 1.25% of the Portfolio's average daily net assets. Of this amount, 60 basis points is paid to the sub advisor of the Trust. NOTE 3 - NOTES RECEIVABLE The Company owns a $500,000 variable rate convertible subordinated debenture from Boston Restaurant Associates, Inc. (BRAI). The principal balance of the debenture is due and payable on December 31, 2011. The debenture has a conversion price of $1.25 per share and bears interest at a rate of 14%. In connection with the purchase of the debenture, the Company also acquired, at no cost, warrants to subscribe for the purchase from BRAI up to 500,000 fully paid and nonassessable shares of BRAI's common stock. The purchase rights represented by the warrants are exercisable by the Company, in whole or in part, at any time through December 31, 2006, at an exercise price of $3.00 per share. The Company's management has estimated the value of the BRAI warrants to be $-0- at December 31, 2001 and 2000. This determination was made considering primarily the current value of the underlying common stock and the current illiquidity of the warrants. 21

JORDAN AMERICAN HOLDINGS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS ========================================== (Continued) NOTE 3 - NOTES RECEIVABLE (concluded) In March 2000, the Company issued an unsecured Convertible Subordinated Bridge Note Receivable for $150,000. The note bears interest at 10% and matures on May 31, 2001. The Company is entitled to receive a 4% equity interest in this entity if and when it completes a public offering of its securities. The note is convertible into Series A Convertible Preferred Stock. The Company has estimated the value of this investment to be $-0- at December 31, 2001. The carrying value of the above notes receivable approximates the fair market value as estimated by management, after considering such factors as current interest rates, liquidity, conversion terms and the credit worthiness of the borrowers. NOTE 4 - STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY At December 31, 2001, the Company has stock warrants outstanding entitling the warrant holder to acquire 1,113,000 shares of common stock at $.50 per share expiring June 5, 2010. The Company also has outstanding underwriter warrants related to the initial public offering entitling the Company's former president to purchase 44,545 units at a price of $2.58 per unit expiring through January 8, 2011. Each unit contains five shares of common stock and five stock warrants; two warrants entitle the holder to purchase one share of common stock for $.60 per share. JAHI has authorized 5,000,000 shares of $0.01 par value preferred stock. The Board of Directors is authorized to issue preferred stock in one or more series, to determine the rights thereto, and to fix the number of shares on any series of preferred stock and the designation of any such series. The Company issued 3,000,000 shares of 8% cumulative, convertible, non-voting preferred stock and one share of common stock to a customer of EAM in a private placement offering. In connection with this offering, 750,000 shares of common stock were given to the Company to distribute to the preferred shareholder by three officers of the Company for no additional consideration. From February 1993 until June 30, 1998, the Company made semi-annual cash dividend payments on its cumulative convertible non-voting preferred stock at a rate of 8% per annum. The Company did not make any dividend payments on this stock in 1999. On December 31, 2000, the Company entered into a preferred stock exchange agreement (the "Agreement") with its sole preferred shareholder (the "Shareholder"). The Shareholder was the owner of 3,000,000 shares of the Company's 8% Convertible Redeemable Cumulative Preferred Stock (the "Outstanding Preferred Stock"). The Company was in arrears with respect to the payment of dividends on the Outstanding Preferred Stock, which arrearages totaled $600,000 as of December 31, 2000 (the "Dividend Arrearage"). 22

JORDAN AMERICAN HOLDINGS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS ========================================== (Continued) NOTE 4 - STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY (continued) The Agreement provided that the Company declare and pay a cash dividend of $100,000 on the Outstanding Preferred Stock and exchange 3,500,000 shares of a new 2000 Convertible Preferred Stock (the "New Preferred Stock") for the 3,000,000 shares of the Outstanding Preferred Stock and cancellation of the $500,000 balance of the Dividend Arrearages. The New Preferred Stock has a dividend rate of 3% for each of the calendar years 2001 through 2003, 4% for calendar year 2004, 5% for calendar year 2005, 6% for calendar year 2006, 7% for calendar year 2007, and 8% for calendar year 2008 and thereafter. The New Preferred Stock is convertible at the option of the holder into fully paid and non-assessable shares of common stock at the rate of one share of common stock for each $3.50 in face amount of the New Preferred Stock. Unpaid and accrued dividends shall be credited to the conversion price. In August 2001, the Company issued 3,100,000 shares of common stock in exchange for 1,500,000 shares of the New Preferred Stock. In addition, the preferred stock agreement was modified to provide that the dividend rate for the remainder of 2001 and for 2002 is 5.25%. During the year ended December 31, 2001, the Company declared and paid a cash dividend of $52,500. At December 31, 2001, dividends in arrears totaled $52,500. In August 2001, the Company's former president exercised options to purchase 696,000 shares of common stock at $.125 per share, for proceeds of $87,000. In connection with the preferred stock issuances, the Company obtained "key man" life insurance on the Company's former president, in the amount of $2,500,000. The holder of Preferred Stock is the direct beneficiary and will be redeemed at the rate of $1.25 per share, in exchange for such shares. In addition, the Company maintains life insurance on the former president and certain officers aggregating $3,250,000, with the Company as the primary beneficiary. NOTE 5 - RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS The Company has a loan to an officer bearing interest at a rate of 10% per annum in the amount of $22,310 and $61,697, including accrued interest, at December 31, 2001 and 2000, respectively. On November 30, 2000, the Company purchased certain assets of a tax preparation and tax planning services company from an officer and shareholder of JAHI valued at $105,100 as determined by the Board of Directors of the Company.

JORDAN AMERICAN HOLDINGS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS ========================================== (Continued) NOTE 6 - INCOME TAXES For the year ended December 31, 2000, the Company utilized approximately $990,000 of its net operating loss carryforward to offset taxes currently payable. The tax effect of temporary differences that give rise to significant portions of deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities are primarily attributable to net operating loss carryforwards for U.S. income tax purposes. The difference between net income for financial statement purposes and net income for income tax purposes is primarily due to realized and unrealized losses of approximately $181,000 and $903,000 as of December 31, 2001 recognized for financial reporting purposes and not for income tax reporting purposes. As of December 31, 2001 and 2000, the Company had approximately $4,270,000 and $2,000,000, respectively in pretax U.S. net operating loss carryforwards, expiring through the year 2021. A large portion of such net operating loss carryforwards were incurred prior to the August 15, 1991 reverse acquisition of JAHI and its subsidiaries, and as such, management of the Company anticipates restrictions on the use of these carryforwards due to provisions of Section 382 of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code. The deferred tax assets that result from such operating loss carryforwards of approximately $1,450,000 and $680,000 at December 31, 2001 and 2000, respectively, have been fully reserved for in the accompanying consolidated financial statements. During the years ended December 31, 2001 and 2000, the valuation allowance established against the net operating loss carryforwards increased (decreased) by $770,000 and $(336,600), respectively. As of December 31, 2001 and 2000, the Company also had U.S. net capital loss carryforwards of approximately $796,000 and $545,000, respectively, which expire through 2006. The deferred tax assets of approximately $271,000 in 2001 and $185,000 in 2000 that result from the capital loss carryforwards have been fully reserved for in the accompanying consolidated financial statements. During the years ended December 31, 2001 and 2000, the valuation allowance established against the capital loss carryforwards increased by $251,000 and $268,000, respectively. NOTE 7 - STOCK OPTIONS During August 1991, the Board of Directors of JAHI approved the Long-Term Incentive Plan (the "Plan"), a stock option plan. The aggregate number of shares of common stock that may be granted by the Company will not exceed a maximum of 2,000,000 shares during the period of the Plan. The option price per share shall be at least the fair market value (as determined by the Finance/Compensation Committee or, in lieu thereof, the Board of Directors) of the common stock on the date the stock option is granted. If at any time a stock option is granted, an employee owns more than 10% of the total combined voting power of all classes of stock of the Company or any of its subsidiaries, then the terms of the stock option shall specify that the option price shall be at least 110% of the fair market value of the stock subject to the option, and shall be exercisable for up to 5 years from the date of grant. In addition, the Plan provides for the mandatory grant of options to directors on a yearly basis commencing March 1, 1993. 24

JORDAN AMERICAN HOLDINGS, INC.

The Board of Directors may discontinue the Plan at any time, and may amend it from time to time. Certain amendments require stockholders' approval.

JORDAN AMERICAN HOLDINGS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS ========================================== (Continued) NOTE 7 - STOCK OPTIONS (continued) Had the Company measured compensation cost based on the fair value of the options at the grant date for 2001 and 2000 consistent with the method prescribed by SFAS 123, the Company's net income (loss) and earnings per common share would have been reduced to the pro forma amounts indicated below: 2001 2000 ---- ---- Net income (loss) As reported $ (1 493 $ (4 013) Pro forma (496) (19 564) Basic and diluted earnings As reported (1 502 146) (.02) (loss) per common share Pro forma (.14) (.02) (.14) The fair value of each option grant was estimated at the date of the grant using the Black-Schoels option pricing model with the following assumptions for 2001 and 2000: risk-free interest rate of 4.3% and 5.5%; no dividend yield; expected life of 10 years; and volatility of 118% and 99%. During the initial phase-in period of applying SFAS 123 for pro forma disclosure purposes, the results may not be representative of the effects on reported net income (loss) for future years because options vest over several years and additional grants generally are made each year. NOTE 8 - COMMITMENTS The Company leases office space from unrelated entities under month-to-month agreements and non-cancelable operating leases expiring through 2003. Future minimum lease payments under the leases as of December 31, 2001 are approximately as follows: Year Amount ---- ------ 2002 $ 49 500 2003 40 100 ----------- $ 89 600 =========== Total rent expense for the years ended December 31, 2001 and 2000 was approximately $71,718 and $24,000, respectively. 26

JORDAN AMERICAN HOLDINGS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS ========================================== (Continued) NOTE 9 - FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS WITH OFF-BALANCE SHEET RISK AND CONTINGENCIES In the normal course of business, the Company's client activities ("clients") through its clearing broker involve the execution, settlement, and financing of various client securities transactions. These activities may expose the Company to off-balance sheet risk. In the event the client fails to satisfy its obligations, the Company may be required to purchase or sell financial instruments at prevailing market prices in order to fulfill the client's obligations. In the Company's investment activities, the Company has purchased securities for its own account and may incur losses if the market value of the securities decline subsequent to December 31, 2001. The Company's revenues are primarily derived from a percentage of the assets under management and performance fees based on the appreciation of those assets. Assets under management are impacted by both the extent to which the Company attracts new, or loses existing clients and the appreciation or depreciation of the U.S. and international equity and fixed income markets. A downturn in general economic conditions could cause investors to cease using the services of the Company. The Company's financial instruments, including cash and cash equivalents, receivables, other assets, payables and other liabilities, are carried at amounts that approximate fair value due to the short-term nature of those instruments. The Company's marketable securities are carried at the December 31, 2001 market value. The Company has a substantial portion of its assets on deposit with banks and brokers. Assets deposited with banks and brokers are subject to credit risk. In the event of a bank's or broker's insolvency, recovery of Company assets on deposit may be limited to account insurance or other protection afforded such deposits. The Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") has completed an inspection of the Company's investment advisory and broker-dealer operations. As a result of the inspection, certain issues arose regarding possible violations. Management of the Company does not expect the resolution of this matter to have a material adverse effect on the Company's operations. 27

JORDAN AMERICAN HOLDINGS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS ========================================== (Continued) NOTE 9 - FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS WITH OFF-BALANCE SHEET RISK AND CONTINGENCIES (continued) The former President of the Company and his son filed a complaint against the Company and two of its officers seeking an injunction against current management based upon violation of federal securities laws and breaches of the common law fiduciary duty of directors of a Florida corporation. The management of the Company does not believe the claims to be meritorious and does not expect the resolution of this matter to have a material adverse effect on the Company's operations. The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern. The Company has suffered recurring losses from operations that raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. Management's plans in this regard are to raise capital through the issuance of common stock and/or selling certain subsidiaries or assets of the Company. The accompanying consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recovery and classification of recorded asset amounts or the amount and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company discontinue operations.

The deferred effective date of SFAS No. 133 is for fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2000. The Company adopted this statement during the year ended December 31, 2001. The Company does not have derivative instruments, therefore, this statement had no effect on the Company. In June 2001, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141, "Business Combinations". This statement established standards for financial accounting and reporting for business combinations. This statement applies to all business combinations initiated after June 30, 2001.

NOTE 11 - REGULATORY REQUIREMENTS IFNI is a registered broker-dealer in securities with the Securities and Exchange Commission and, accordingly, is subject to Rule 15c3-1 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended ("the net capital rule"). Pursuant to the net capital rule, IFNI is required to maintain a minimum net capital, as defined under such rule. At December 31, 2001, IFNI had net capital and net capital requirements of $29,953 and $5,000, respectively. The Company's net capital ratio (aggregate indebtedness to net capital) was .19 to 1. According to Rule 15c3-1, the Company's net capital ratio shall not exceed 15 to 1. Therefore, on a consolidated basis as of December 31, 2001, net assets of $5,000 are not available for any purpose other than meeting IFNI's net capital requirements. 29
