PART I

 

ITEM 1. DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS

Aquamotion, Inc. (the "Company") is a Nevada corporation formed on March 14, 1995. Prior to May 2001 the Company had been in the developmental stage and had no operating history other than organizational matters.

Effective May 1, 2001 the Company entered into a Plan and Agreement of Reorganization with the shareholders of Roast-N-Roll Restaurants of the Past, Inc., a privately held New York corporation ("Roast"). As a result of the transaction, Roast became a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company and the Company changed its name to Roast-N-Roll Restaurants of the Past, Inc. In connection with the acquisition, all previously outstanding shares of the Company were repurchased and canceled and the shareholders of Roast were issued an aggregate of five million shares of restricted common stock. Additionally, previous management resigned and new management was appointed. Roast-N-Roll Restaurants of the Past, Inc., formerly, then the rest of the sentence reads: Aquamotion, Inc. (the Company) is a Nevada corporation formed on March 14, 1995.

RESTAURANT CONCEPT

Roast 'N' Roll Restaurants of the Past is based on a long-standing family developed concept. In mid-1970, the original Roll 'N' Roaster restaurant was launched in Brooklyn, New York. The founders were members of the LaMonica family and son-in-law, Nicholas Bruzzese Sr. This restaurant is still in operation today and has been in continuous operation for over 30 years.

This facility has become a Brooklyn landmark. The restaurant developed the recipes and signature items that are being used in the Company's only restaurant located in Staten Island, New York. These signature items include daily fresh baked (on premise) rolls and buns, hand prepared charcoal grilled chicken breast, stylized "cottage fries" potatoes. Especially noteworthy is the oven roasted butcher shop quality beef and turkey used in sandwiches and complementing "home made" gravies and marinades. Between 1984 and 1987, Nick J. LaMonica purchased the restaurant from his parents, his sister, and her husband Nicholas Bruzzese, Sr. At present, Mr. Nick J. LaMonica is the sole owner of the Brooklyn restaurant and has no affiliation with the Company or its operating subsidiary.

RESTAURANT HISTORY

In November 1997, Roast 'N' Roll Restaurants of the Past Inc., opened its first restaurant. The restaurant is a 3,000 square foot leased location that can seat over 80 customers and easily accommodate over two dozen cars for parking. The restaurant is located on Hylan Boulevard in Staten Island, New York. This facility is open 7 days a week; Sunday to Thursday from 11:00 AM to 9:00 PM and on Friday and Saturday from 11:00AM to 11:00PM.

RESTAURANT DEVELOPMENT

Management presently believes it has effectively outlived the "initial stages" of typical restaurant development and has become an "established" restaurant in the area. Management will, however, continue to review its marketing, facilities, and food to assist and expedite this upward developing trend. Management hopes to open at least two more restaurants in the next 18- 24 months. In that respect the Company commenced researching possible additional locations. Management has already inspected several potential sites and is pursuing negotiations for one lease location.

Management believes its retail strength is found in its established menu food items. They believe that customers find these menu items unique to Roast N Roll and available nowhere else. Roast N Roll has always maintained a higher quality of ingredients than its competitors and this yields a better tasting, fresher more healthful meal. The Company believes it is one of the earliest pioneers of upscale cooked-to-order fast food. It never has precooked items waiting on warmers to be purchased. This is a trend that has become popular with customers for over 10 years, and is a direct result of people demanding better tasting food and a consumer awareness of food born illness, brought about by precooked, food "held" until sold.

The Company's current marketing efforts involve media print ads with discount coupons attached and some direct mail of special offers and discounts. Its prominent Hylan Boulevard location boasts neon lights, flags, banners, awning and signage.

Management also intends to develop opportunities in franchising. This type of business growth will be pursued when management believes that the current restaurant is suitable as a franchise business model. Management believes it can offer a complete "Turn-key" package to potential franchisees in the next twelve months. The Company will require additional capital to implement its franchising concept. That capital is expected to be generated through private placements and there is no guarantee that the Company will be successful in that endeavor.


FRANCHISE EXPANSION

Management intends to develop opportunities in Roast 'N' Roll franchising. This type of business growth will be pursued when management believes that the current restaurant is suitable as a franchise business model. The Company is in the process of documenting all of the key elements to its restaurant concept to writing and currently has an operations and procedures manual and recipe books. Management believes it can offer a complete "Turn-key" package to potential franchisees in the next twelve months. This will be dependent upon obtaining additional capital in order to develop the franchise concept. There is no assurance the Company will be successful in finding additional capital

RISK FACTORS

This report contains forward-looking statements, which may be affected by risks and uncertainties including many that are outside the Company's control. The Company's actual operating results could differ materially as a result of certain factors, including those set forth below and elsewhere in this report.

The audited financial statements that accompany this report have been prepared on the assumption that the Company will continue as a going concern. If the Company fails to continue in business, you could lose your investment in the Company.

The financial statements of the Company that are included in this report have been prepared on the assumption that the Company will continue as a going concern. The Company's deficit in working capital, stockholders deficit and recurring net losses raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. If the Company is not successful in generating additional sales, reducing expenses, or obtaining additional financing, it may be required to scale back or discontinue operations, in which case its investors could lose all or substantially all of their investment.

The Company faces intense competition from larger and better-established companies that may prevent it from becoming profitable.

The restaurant industry is intensely competitive and highly fragmented. The Company may experience competition from many different restaurants. Many of these competitors may have longer operating histories, greater financial, technical and marketing resources, and enjoy existing name recognition and customer bases. New competitors may emerge and rapidly acquire significant market share. Competitors may be able to respond more quickly to technological change, competitive pressures, or changes in consumer demand. As a result of their advantages, the Company's competitors may be able to limit or curtail its ability to compete successfully. These competitive pressures could materially adversely affect the Company's business, financial condition, and results of operations.

If the Company is to continue to be competitive, it will need to retain key personnel.

The Company's future success depends significantly on the continued service of senior management. The familiarity of these individuals with the industry makes them especially critical to the company's success. The loss of the services of one or more of the Company's key employees could have a material adverse effect on its business. The Company's future success also depends on its ability to attract and retain highly qualified sales, customer service, and management personnel. Competition for these personnel is intense, and the Company cannot guarantee that it will be able to attract or retain a sufficient number of highly qualified employees in the future. The lack of qualified management personnel could limit the Company's ability to grow the business and may limit its ability to effectively compete in certain markets.

If the Company is not successful in effectively obtaining and managing growth, the cost of doing business may increase or could result in inefficiencies that would reduce cash available for growth and prevent the Company from becoming profitable.

To properly execute its business plan, the Company must grow significantly. This growth will place a significant strain on personnel, management systems, and resources. The Company expects that the number of employees, including management-level employees, will continue to increase for the foreseeable future, and that it may need additional restaurant space. Failure to manage growth effectively will material adversely affect the company's business, results of operations, and financial condition.

ITEM 5. MARKET PRICE FOR REGISTRANT'S COMMON EQUITY AND RELATED STOCKHOLDER MATTERS

During the past two years there has been no public market for the Company's common stock.

As of April 2, 2003, the Company had approximately 42 shareholders of record.

The Company has not declared any cash dividends on its Common Stock since inception and its Board of Directors has no present intention of declaring any dividends. For the foreseeable future, the Company intends to retain all earnings, if any, for use in the development and expansion of its business.

ITEM 6. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

NOTE REGARDING PROJECTIONS AND FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS This statement includes projections of future results and "forward-looking statements" as that term is defined in Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 as amended (the "Securities Act"), and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 as amended (the "Exchange Act"). All statements that are included in this Registration Statement, other than statements of historical fact, are forward-looking statements. Although Management believes that the expectations reflected in these forward-looking statements are reasonable, it can give no assurance that such expectations will prove to have been correct. Important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from the expectations are disclosed in this Statement, including, without limitation, in conjunction with those forward-looking statements contained in this Statement.

Financial Condition

For the year ended December 31, 2002, the Company had a net stockholders' deficit $455,989, as compared to a net stockholders deficit of $175,526 at December 31, 2001. The Company has a working capital deficit of $574,383.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

The Registrant had a working capital deficit of $574,383 at December 31, 2002, compared to a working capital deficit of $323,137 for the prior year. This increase of working capital deficit has been due to insufficient sales attributable to the downturn in economic conditions, but largely in part to the accruing of officers salaries, which have had annual accrued amounts of $132,000 for each of the years ended December 31, 2002 and 2001. The Company intends to raise additional funds as needed through private placements with accredited and sophisticated investors.

As of December 31, 2002, the Company has received $235,000 as payments from individuals to whom the Company has agreed to issue shares of the Company's common stock and/or issue options to purchase shares of the Company's common stock. These shares or options are not to be issued or exercised until the stock is actively trading at which time the number of shares or options will be determined. Since no shares or options related to these payments have been issued or exercised, they have been recorded as advances payable in the amounts of $235,000 and $160,000 at December 31, 2002 and 2001, respectively.

This report has been prepared under the assumption that the Company will continue as a going concern. Such assumption contemplates the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. As shown in the financial statements, the Company has negative working capital and a stockholders' deficit at December 31, 2002, and for the years ended December 31, 2002 and 2001, the Company has incurred losses and net cash outflows from operating activities.

The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern. The Company's continuation as a going concern is dependent upon its ability to generate sufficient cash flow to meet its obligations on a timely basis, to obtain additional financing as may be required, and ultimately to attain profitability. Potential sources of cash include profitable operations, external debt, the sale of franchises or alternative methods such as mergers, or sale transactions. No assurances can be given, however, that the Company will be able to obtain any of these potential sources of cash.


Results of Operations

Revenues. Revenues for the year ended December 31, 2002 decreased by $822 from $244,853 to $244,031. This decrease is attributable to a slight fluctuation in daily retail sales.

Cost of Sales. Cost of sales experienced an increase of $10,472 or 12% from $85,528 for the year 2001 to $96,000 in 2002 This resulted in a gross profit margin decrease to 61% down 4% from a gross profit margin of 65% in the year 2001. The increase in cost of sales is due largely in part to higher costs of food and supplies.

General and Administrative Expenses. General and administrative expenses show an increase of $29,849 or a 8% increase due largely in part to an increase in officers salaries and consulting fees. $132,000 of the officers salaries are accrued wages payable only in common stock of the Company, but recorded as an expense and liability for accounting purposes.

As a result of the foregoing, the Company's net operating loss increased to $280,463 for the year ended December 31, 2002, compared to a net loss of $237,261 for the same period last year. The increased net loss attributable to the items described above. The Company has been unable to generate sufficient sales and gross profit to offset the general operating expenses prior to the Company's cost related to becoming publicly traded which costs totaled approximately $18,000 and $29,000 for the years ended December 31, 2002 and 2001, respectively.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT


The Board of Directors
Roast-N-Roll Restaurants of the Past, Inc. and
Subsidiary (FKA Aquamotion, Inc.)
Staten Island, New York

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of Roast-N-Roll Restaurants of the Past, Inc. and Subsidiary (FKA Aquamotion, Inc.) as of December 31, 2002 and 2001 and the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders' deficit, and cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2002 and 2001. These consolidated 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 audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatements. An audit also 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 aspects, the financial position of Roast-N-Roll Restaurants of the Past, Inc. and Subsidiary (FKA Aquamotion, Inc.) as of December 31, 2002 and 2001 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 that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company has negative working capital, recurring losses and cash outflows from operations. These conditions raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Management's plans in 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.

1. Organization

and Significant Accounting

Policies

Continued

 

The computation of diluted loss per common share is based on the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the period plus common stock equivalents which would arise from the exercise of stock options and warrants outstanding using the treasury stock method and the average market price per share during the period. Common stock equivalents are not included in the diluted loss per share calculation when their effect would be antidilutive.

   

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The fair value of financial instruments is determined by reference to various market data and other valuation techniques as appropriate. There are no material differences between the fair value of the financial instruments and the recorded book values as of December 31, 2002.

   

Use of 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 period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

   

Reclassifications

Certain amounts in the 2001 financial statements have been reclassified to conform with the presentation of the current year financial statements.

 

2. Going Concern

 

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared under the assumption that the Company will continue as a going concern.

As shown in the financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2002 and 2001, the Company has negative working capital, and has incurred losses and net cash outflows from operating activities.

   

The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern. The Company's continuation as a going concern is dependent upon its ability to generate sufficient cash flow to meet its obligations on a timely basis, to obtain additional financing as may be required, and ultimately to attain profitability. Potential sources of cash include profitable operations, external debt, the sale of franchises or alternative methods such as mergers or sales transactions.

The Company has received payments from individuals to whom the Company has agreed to issue shares of the Company's common stock and/or issue options to purchase shares of the Company's common stock. The shares and options are not to be issued until the Company's common stock is actively trading and the number of shares and options are to be determined at that time. As of December 31, 2002 no shares or options related to these advances have been issued and therefore $235,000 and $160,000 is recorded as advances at December 31, 2002 and 2001, respectively.

 

6. Related
Party

 

As of December 31, 2002 and 2001 the Company has recorded advances from shareholders in the amount of $65,062 and $16,925 for cash advances and deposits paid by the shareholders on behalf of the Company. No interest is accrued on the payables and there are no specific terms for repayment.

At December 31, 2002, the Company has a net operating loss carryforward available to offset future taxable income of approximately $758,000, which begins to expire in 2020. If substantial changes in the Company's ownership should occur, there would also be an annual limitation of the amount of NOL carryforwards, which could be utilized. No tax benefit had been reported in the financial statements, because the Company believes it is more likely than not that the deferred tax asset will not be realized. The tax benefits of the loss carryforwards are offset by a valuation allowance of the same amount.

10. Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

The FASB recently issued FASB Statements No. 143 Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations. This Statement addresses financial accounting and reporting for obligations associated with the retirement of tangible long-lived assets and the associated asset retirement costs. This Statement applies to all entities. It apples to legal obligations associated with the retirement of long-lived assets that result from the acquisition, construction, development and (or) the normal operation of a long-lived asset, except for certain obligations of leases. This Statement amends SFAS 19. The effective date for this Statement is June 15, 2002. Currently, the Company has no tangible long-lived assets.

   

In December 2002, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued SFAS No. 148 'Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation-Transition and Disclosure-an amendment of FASB Statement No. 123," which is effective for all fiscal years ending after December 15, 2002. SFAS No. 148 provides alternative methods of transition for a voluntary change to the fair value based method of accounting for stock-based employee compensation under SFAS No. 123 from the intrinsic value based method of accounting prescribed by Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25. SFAS 128 also changes the disclosure requirements of SFAS 123, requiring a more prominent disclosure of the pro-forma effect of the fair value based method of accounting for stock-based compensation. The adoption of SFAS No. 148 by the Company is not expected to have a material impact on the Company's financial position or future operations.
