PART I ITEM 1. DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS A. BUSINESS DEVELOPMENT 1. FORM AND YEAR OF ORGANIZATION Bull Run, Inc. a Nevada corporation ("Bull Run" or the "Company") was organized on April 14, 1997. B. BUSINESS OF ISSUER The Company plans on entering the preteen girls swimwear/sportswear business. The line is designed with a constant focus on what preteen girls like to wear and features what they want in their clothes. The Company will market to the established customer base of its nationwide sales representatives force once the sales force is solidified. The customer base will include small speciality stores, as well as some larger chain stores in the United States. Unlike typical swimwear companies, the Company is committed to providing a complete apparel line which will generate revenues throughout the calendar year, thereby avoiding the severe revenue cycles which typically plague swimwear companies. 1. PRINCIPAL PRODUCTS OF THE MARKET. a. PRE-TEEN APPAREL The Company is committed to dressing girls in swimwear/sportswear with style and comfort. The line is designed with a constant focus on what girls/preteens like to wear and features what they want in their clothes. The company's domestically produced separates and coordinates are to be specialty store based. The Company believes that there is no other company in the United States offering a separates swimwear line for girls/preteens. The Company's swimwear will feature two-piece styles with halter necklines, triangle top, sports top, bikini, tie-side, hip-hugger and swim short bottoms. The one piece styles will feature sporty T-backs as well as details with various cutouts. The sportswear will be active/sports-based featuring board shorts manufactured out of cotton/nylon as well as stretch twills. The detailing will include novelty trims and embellished details such as contrast stitching and various color blocking schemes. Prints will include Hawaiian, florals, color blocking, and assorted textures. Shine is still very important for 1999 and glitzy, liquid silver suits reflect a shift toward novelty looks rather than camp suits. The Company will be utilizing an array of fabrics and textures. Texture creates diversity and excitement in the garments. The suits will be offered in soft sorbet colors as well as bubble gum brights. The Company will market to the established customer base of its nationwide sales representative force once the sales force is solidified. The customer base includes small specialty stores, as well as some of the largest chain stores in the United States. Wholesale prices will range from approximately $7.00 (for T-shirts) to $19.00 (for some sportswear items), with an expected retail markup of 100%. Price has proven to be market driven in this particular segment. While parents dictate how their dollar is spent for children's clothes six months to 4 Toddler, they also influence the image they want their child to project. When most children are five years of age and older, they have adopted their own fashion attitude. They now know what they want to wear. While the parents still control the purchasing power, they don't want their dollars wasted on clothes sitting in the kids closets unworn with tags still attached. Unlike typical swimwear companies, the Company is committed to providing a complete apparel line which will generate revenues throughout the calendar year, thereby avoiding the severe revenue cycles which typically plague 1

swimwear companies. The Company's products will be presented at the Surf Expo Trade Show in Orlando, Florida in 1999. The Company expects to receive orders for its products as a result of its presentation at this show. b. INDUSTRY OVERVIEW The Company believes that this is a growing trend that will prove to be a successful formula. The need and demand are visible in the marketplace. The companies that can react and take hold in the next few seasons will prove to have the upper hand in the long run since currently their is clearly a gap in this market. With more than 350 Junior/Contemporary swimwear companies in the United States, only 25 have been identified as satisfying the girls/preteen 7 to 16 market segment. Out of these companies, less than 10 compete in the Company's specialty store market base projections. These include Point Conception, Raisins, Daffy Girls, Gottex, La Blanca, Roxy ('98), Beach Lingo, Back Flips, Serena, Tide Pools and Zuma Beach-Jantzen. 2. DISTRIBUTION METHODS a. MANUFACTURING The Company will initially out source virtually all of its manufacturing operations to vendors utilized by Company principals in the past. Most of these vendors are located in Southern California. CONTRACT LABOR will be a critical component in assuring that the Company's prices remain competitive. The Company has identified 5 to 7 local contractors to produce its lycra swimwear. Labor costs are estimated to be anywhere from $1.75 - $6.00 per piece, depending upon the complexity of the sewing. The Company has identified an Arizona contractor specializing in girls sportswear quoting prices on various items. The cost of goods will be broken down per line item piece. These cost estimates should allow the Company a gross of margin of between 30 to 55% per item depending upon volume and the type of goods sold. HARD GOODS comprised of primarily fabric are the other major component in the manufacturing process. The Company anticipates that it will produce a nice quality line using woven printed fabrics that cost between $6.95 to $14.00 per yard. Depending on the yields, this would be 4-6 suits per yard. The Company has also identified a number of sources where discontinued fabrics will be available at a substantial discount. Depending upon the yields, these suits could be offered on a promotional basis, or offered as a package deal. b. DISTRIBUTION The Company anticipates that it will attend trade shows to distribute and market its products, including: The Children's Trade Expo (CTE) which emphasizes its affiliation with giant Magic trade show moved to the Hilton Convention Center in Las Vegas, Nevada this past year. Approximately 500 manufacturers showcased this past February. The Surf Expo Show in Fort Lauderdale, Florida. The Action Sports Retailer Show in San Diego, California. 3. COMPETITION The United States apparel industry produces approximately $21.7 billion per year. Orange and Los Angeles counties are key players for this market. The Los Angeles County apparel manufacturer shipments in 1996 were $8.5 billion. This is not due to the enormous manufacturing base, but due to the trends and fashion direction originating here. The world looks to California for fashion direction, especially in the beach and surf and swimwear! The impact of California fashion is immeasurable. We are a window to the world, creating everything from swimwear to tailored ready-to-wear. 2

Many of the trends found in the children's market are directly related to the junior and contemporary trends that are created in Southern California. However, there is still an enormous gap with limited choices for the girls/preteen size 7 to 16 segment to choose from. A vast majority of the junior/adult companies have not scaled down to children's and preteen sizes. Shopping for this market has gone beyond the seasonal basics, girls demand a whole lifestyle choice. They want hip, high quality, lifestyle-driven merchandise found in their sizes. They want the junior contemporary look, not the girlie frills of their baby years! They want to feel and dress like their junior contemporaries with the same comfort and durability as the juniors wear! The Company believes that this is a growing trend that will prove to be a successful formula. The need and demand are visible in the marketplace. The companies that can react and take hold in the next few seasons will prove to have the upper hand in the long run since currently their is clearly a gap in this market. With more than 350 Junior/Contemporary swimwear companies in the United States only 25 have been identified as satisfying the girls/preteen 7 to 16 market segment. Out of these companies, less than 10 compete in the Company's specialty store market base projections. These include Point Conception, Raisins, Daffy Girls, Gottex, La Blanca, Roxy ('98), Beach Lingo, Back Flips, Serena, Tide Pools and Zuma Beach-Jantzen. 4. PATENTS, TRADEMARKS, LICENSES, FRANCHISES, CONCESSIONS, ROYALTY AGREEMENTS AND/OR LABOR CONTRACTS . None. 5. GOVERNMENT APPROVAL. No government approval is required for any of the Company's current products or services. 6. EFFECT OF ANY EXISTING OR PROPOSED GOVERNMENT REGULATIONS. Other than normal government regulations that any business encounters, the Company's business is not effected by government regulations. The Company does have a market for its goods in the Republic of China. Any government regulations or trade agreements that limit or prohibit the exportation of goods to the Republic of China will have an effect on the Company. However, the Company is unable to make any determination regarding the ultimate effect of any such hypothetical regulations. 7. RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT COSTS None. 8. COST AND EFFECTS OF COMPLIANCE WITH ENVIRONMENTAL LAWS AND REGULATIONS The Company is not involved in a business which involves the use of materials in a manufacturing stage where such materials are likely to result in the violation of any existing environmental rules and/or regulations. Further, the Company does not own any real property which would lead to liability as a land owner. Therefore, the Company does not anticipate that there will be any costs associated with the compliance of environmental laws and regulations. 9. EMPLOYEES None. The Company will enter into Independent Contractor Agreements when necessary. 3
