PART I

Item 1. Description of Business

ABOUT US

Silver Star Foods, Inc. has been a distributor of a wide range of pre-packaged frozen pasta products in 11 states in the United States, mainly in the New York metropolitan area. We sell our products such as ravioli and tortellini, primarily to supermarket chains and local distributors within these states. We did not promote any of our products during most of the fiscal year ending March 31, 2002. However, we had a nominal amount of sales in March 2002. Commencing April 2002, we re-established our promotional activities and starting making presentations to additional customers within the New York metropolitan area. As of April 2002, we have been re-slotted in the New York metropolitan area in the Key Foods stores. We intend to increase our sales/revenues with the hope of creating our own manufacturing facility in the United States. We believe, although there can be no assurance, that acquiring manufacturing capacity and entering into agreements with sales representatives will enable us to expand our customer base to supermarket chains and small distributors in other regional markets and to large volume customers such as club stores, restaurant chains and customers requiring a private label manufacturer.

Effective May 1, 2002, we signed a sublease agreement with Maximum Quality Foods, Inc. For our new executive office located at 1251 East Linden Avenue, Linden, New Jersey. We also signed an equipment acquisition with Maximum Quality Foods for the acquisition of certain storage equipment, including freezers for our products, located at the premises.

In January 2002, our wholly owned subsidiary, Silver Star Media Group, Inc. entered into an agreement with G.O.A.T., Inc., to be an exclusive co-publisher to publish the "Muhammad Ali Collectible Magazine," a publication that will detail the life and accomplishments of the great boxer, Muhammad Ali.

HISTORICAL BACKGROUND

In 1930, the grandfather of our President opened a pasta shop in Brooklyn, New York under the name Silver Star Ravioli & Macaroni Co., Inc., ("SSRM"). During the next twenty years, SSRM developed an excellent reputation for its hand-made pasta around New York. In the early 1950's, SSRM expanded by opening a 25,000 square foot factory with one of the first mechanized ravioli machines.

With increased production capabilities, SSRM was able to supply large supermarket chains with its food products. During this time, SSRM distributed its food products to a number of grocery chains and numerous independent stores in the five boroughs of New York and Long Island. In addition to retail outlet stores, SSRM opened institutional accounts that included airlines and cruise ships. SSRM also expanded its geographic area and, with a select network of brokers, began to distribute its food products to the tri-state area, in addition to upstate New York, Philadelphia, Baltimore, Florida, Arizona and California. During this time, SSRM was owned and operated by members of the Trotta family, including Michael Trotta, our President and Vincent Trotta, who serves as our advisor.

By the late 1980's, SSRM's manufacturing equipment was outdated. Competitors with newer factories and equipment were able to produce products at lower cost and on a more flexible schedule. As a result, sales margins suffered. SSRM's attempts to upgrade the facility, which was over thirty years old, were ineffective. Debts incurred in connection with the attempted upgrade eventually led to the bankruptcy of SSRM.

In 1995, Michael Trotta formed us under the name Silver Star Ravioli. We changed our name to Silver Star Foods, Inc. in July 1997. We had been using the Silver Star trademark since it was formed and acquired the trademark from Vincent Trotta in 1997 for $205,000 and acquired the right to use Vincent Trotta's name in connection with our promotions in April 1998.

INDUSTRY OVERVIEW

Today, retail pasta products sales in the United States total over $500 million, as published in the trade magazine, Modern Grocer. Management believes that the appeal of frozen pasta products to American consumers has increased since the 1980's and shows no sign of abating.

We believe that the U.S. retail market for frozen pasta is growing and fragmented. We believe that the growth in the frozen pasta category has been aided by several factors including both the growth in popularity of frozen foods and the changing consumer taste preferences to favor distinctive, high quality, healthy foods. We further believe that consumers are demanding more healthful food products as they learn more about the importance of one's diet in a healthy lifestyle. For example, the U.S. Surgeon General has recommended that consumers lower the percentage of calories from fat in their diets at no more than 30% (from the existing 37% average) and the U.S. Department of Agriculture recommends that 60-70% of Americans' daily caloric intake come from complex carbohydrates. Consequently, much of consumers' demand for more healthful food products is focused on lowering the fat content of their diets and increasing their intake of complex carbohydrates. We believe that the sale of pasta, which is generally low in fat and high in complex carbohydrates, is benefitting from the trend towards healthier eating.

No assurance can be given that the frozen pasta market will continue to expand. Nor can there be any assurance that current levels of public attention to personal health, fitness and diet or current perceptions of healthfulness associated with pasta and pasta sauces will continue in the future. In particular, the public perception of the healthfulness associated with pasta-based meals may decline due to a recent study by the Center for Science in the Public Interest finding high fat content in cheese and cream-based pastas and pasta sauces. Similarly, sales of beef ravioli will not be aided by the increased demand for healthy foods.

Additionally, as we expand to different regions of the United States, we may encounter differing public perceptions and concerns about health and diet. This may adversely impact our marketing and expansion strategy and cause us to incur greater expenses in promoting our products.

SALES AND DISTRIBUTION

We previously sold our products through sales representatives, known in the industry as food brokers. Z-Mark Sales, located in New Jersey, is our sole food broker in the NY metro area. We previously paid our food brokers a commission which ranged from 3-5% of the net amount received from customers on all sales in the respective brokers territory. Our brokers serviced the New York City metropolitan area, New Jersey/Eastern Pennsylvania/Maryland and Florida. In the past, the broker for the New York area served as broker on 97% of our sales.

The primary function of a food broker is to act as a liaison between the manufacturer and our customers. Working with our management, the broker will place advertisements in the supermarket circular and arrange "specials" or discounts on our products. If we determine that we desire to place our product in a supermarket chain, the broker will negotiate for the payment by us of a "slotting fee," which is a fee that a potential supplier must pay to obtain shelf space for a product in the supermarket chain. We believe that such "slotting fee" has a beneficial life of three (3) years. However, payment of a slotting fee does not ensure continued shelf space availability for our product. We intend, although there can be no assurance we will be able to, to establish relationships with additional food brokers in order to expand into other regions. Food brokers are particularly helpful when expanding into new geographic markets because a single broker may have existing relationships with numerous supermarkets.

The food brokers generally arrange sales to supermarket chains. These supermarkets then either place an order with the broker or with distributors, who then immediately place orders with us. There is not a significant difference in pricing or delivery procedures based on whether the supermarket uses a distributor.

We previously sold to a number of supermarkets chains that have stores (operating under the same name or through affiliated companies) in other regions. These supermarkets have buying departments in each region. We would have to establish relationships with different buyers to sell our products in these regions. However, we believe that our relationships in the New York region with these supermarket chains will aide us in establishing relationships with supermarket buyers in other regions.

We also previously sold our products to distributors who resell the frozen pasta to delicatessens, grocery stores and restaurants. Previously, these customers made up approximately 2% of our annual business. We intend, although there can be no assurance that we will be able to do so, to establish relationships with additional distributors in order to expand into other regions and markets.

If we are able to lease and improve a manufacturing facility, we intend to pursue institutional customers, such as hotels, restaurants, schools, nursing homes, hospitals and prisons. These institutional customers buy products in large volumes. Without a manufacturing facility, we do not have the flexibility or the cost structure to pursue such customers.

Initially, we intend to rely primarily on food brokers to establish relationships with these institutional customers. Upon obtaining additional financing, we intend to employ a marketing and sales director. This individual will be in charge of establishing relationships with additional food brokers and distributors, and for pursuing institutional customers and other retail customers.

Our success depends upon an effective system of distribution for our products. We utilize central warehouse delivery for all our supermarket customers. In central warehouse delivery, the products are delivered to a warehouse for a chain of supermarkets for later delivery by the chain to its stores. To distribute our products to other parts of the country (which is a small part of our business at the present time), we use local and regional distributors. In any event, we use common carriers to deliver our products to these distributors. The dependence on other companies for delivery of our products poses a risk to us. While this method of delivery has been reliable and available at acceptable rates thus far, there can be no assurance that we will continue to be able to negotiate acceptable freight rates in the future and that delivery will not be disrupted for reasons including, but not limited to, adverse weather, natural disasters or labor disputes in the trucking industry.

MARKETING

An emphasis of our marketing to both our customers and consumers is on the association of the Silver Star name with a quality pasta product produced by a family operated business. Our promotional materials and packaging for some of our products contain a short statement from Vincent Trotta, Sr. which, among other things, offers a personal guarantee of quality, thanks customers for loyalty, and explains that Silver Star's products are "true to a family tradition." On all products, we have begun to use the name "Aversa Silver Star" after the founder of SSRM and the grandfather of our President. We expect to continue to use the Aversa Silver Star name as we enter new markets because we believe that customers are more likely to associate that name with Italian food products from a family operated business.

We hope to use advertising, primarily in supermarket circulars, to familiarize customers with the Silver Star name. We hope positive experiences with our product will create customer loyalty and promote repeat business.

We also intend to capitalize on the nutritional value of our products. As is now required by law, we disclose the nutritional information about our products on the packaging. We believe that the nutritional value of some of our frozen pasta compares favorably with many other alternatives among frozen foods.

Our most effective advertising to consumers is by placing advertisements in supermarket circulars, which are available to customers of a supermarket upon entering a store. Occasionally, supermarkets distribute the circular via direct mail or as an enclosure in newspapers. The advertisements in the circular inform the consumer of any specials or discounts that are available on our products and may contain coupons. The advertisement in the circular is arranged by the food broker and generally are placed approximately eight weeks in advance.

OUR PRODUCTS

We specialize in stuffed pasta, a form of pasta that includes stuffing such as ricotta, eggs and cheese, among others. The products that we currently distribute are: jumbo cheese round 13 oz. ravioli; mini cheese round 16 oz. ravioli; mini square cheese 16 oz. ravioli; mini square meat 16 oz. ravioli; tortellini, including meat and cheese, 16 oz.; cavatelli, 16 oz.; gnocchi 16 oz.; six count manicotti, 19 oz.; and twelve count stuffed shells, 21 oz. Our most popular product, mini square cheese ravioli should provide a meal for 5 people and is sold at a suggested retail price of $3.19.

Like plain pasta, our products must be boiled before they should be eaten. We do not sell our products with ready-made pasta sauce, although we may do so in the future.

Our products are packaged in polyethylene bags. We may in the future market our ravioli in a box, which was the packaging method utilized by SSRM for its most popular ravioli products. The current packaging includes the nutritional information, ingredients and cooking directions. Also prominently featured is the Silver Star trademark. The packaging for some of our products contains a statement from Vincent Trotta Sr. guaranteeing the quality of our products. The packaging design is based on SSRM's packaging. The manufacturer of the polyethylene bags ships them directly to our suppliers.

We have no current plans to introduce new products, and are unlikely to do so in the near future. If we are able to establish a manufacturing facility, we intend to introduce new products and new packaging of existing products. For example, we intend to create packaging aimed at club stores, including a "bulk pack," which will be a single oversize pack weighing approximately 3 lbs. Additionally, we may sell our products with a ready made sauce. The sauce could be produced by a private manufacturer to our specifications, or we could enter into a joint venture arrangement with an existing pasta sauce manufacturer.

PRINCIPAL SUPPLIERS AND INGREDIENTS

Currently, we use one private label manufacturer to prepare and package all of our products. We provide the manufacturer with recipes for our products. The manufacturer uses a quick freeze process to ensure that the product is frozen while it is still fresh. We believe that it could replace our supplier on similar terms, however the loss of the supplier could have a material adverse affect on us, particularly in the short term.

The ingredients used by our supplier is primarily flour, eggs and water. Depending on the type of stuffed pasta we are producing, the ingredients may include whole milk ricotta, eggs, Romano cheese, mozzarella, parsley, salt, pepper, meat filling chopped meat, onions and spices. Our supplier buys flour from Congra and ricotta from either Pollyo or Sorrento. Other ingredients come from local distributors and manufacturers. If we establish a manufacturing facility, we intend to purchase directly from these suppliers.

Our production agreement is with Mount Rose Ravioli and Macaroni Co. Such supplier is able to fill our product orders in approximately seven days.

MOUNT ROSE RAVIOLI AND MACARONI CO.

We executed an agreement which provides that Mount Rose will manufacture and package the following "Silver Star" products:

Square Meat and Cheese Ravioli--bag

Square Meat and Cheese Ravioli--box

Round Cheese Ravioli

Cavatelli

Cheese and Meat Tortellini

Gnocchi

Six Count Manicotti

Twelve Count Stuffed Shells

The agreement is terminable at any time by either party. The agreement provides that the product is to be paid for by either cashiers or certified check at the time the order is placed. The above prices, in accordance with the agreement, are to be reviewed every six months with respect to raw material and packaging costs. An increase or decrease in such costs will be passed on to us. The agreement further provides that in the event that the agreement is terminated we give Mount Rose permission to use any packaging left on hand at the time of termination in any way it chooses.

MANUFACTURING

Currently, we have a sublease on an 18,000 square feet building in Linden, New Jersey with freezers and refrigerators for our products.

COMPETITION

In the pasta market, we compete with national, regional, and local pasta manufacturers and specialty stores. Many of these competitors are larger, more established and have greater financial and other resources than us. Competition in the pasta industry is based on product quality, brand name awareness, brand loyalty and price. Non-frozen, non-stuffed pasta, such as spaghetti is significantly less expensive then our products and is less expensive to ship and to store. We also face competition from fresh, refrigerated pasta, which is sold by, among others, Contadina, produced by Nestle Fresh Foods, Co., and DiGorno, produced by Kraft General Foods, Inc. Such companies have significantly more resources than us. Refrigerated pasta is significantly more expensive than frozen pasta.

We compete directly with a number of regional and national frozen pasta producers, including Celentano and Italian Village, who are in most markets nationwide. In the New York market, we compete with these national and several regional pasta makers. Among our competitors is Mount Rose who is our supplier.

Competition for shelf space in grocery stores is intense and poses great difficulty for smaller food companies. Other competitors with significant economic and other resources could, at any time, enter the frozen pasta industry. Supermarkets could choose to carry such companies products in addition to or instead of our products due to existing relationships with the makers of such products.

TRADEMARK

We purchased the "Silver Star" trademark from Vincent Trotta in 1997 for $205,000. Mr. Trotta had acquired the trademark from SSRM. SSRM had registered the trademark with the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office, however, we failed to renew the application and the trademark protection has lapsed. In the near future, we will file a new application for registration. Even if the application is approved, there can be no assurance as to the degree of protection our registered trademark may afford us.

EXPANSION STRATEGY

Our expansion strategy is dependent on obtaining additional financing and increasing our customer base with our current products and suppliers so that it would warrant leasing and improving a manufacturing facility. We believe that we will be able to produce our products at a lower cost, which will allow us more flexibility in pricing. We believe that discount pricing is often necessary to gain customers and establish market share.

We believe that the manufacturing facility will also allow us greater flexibility in adjusting our product mix or packaging because we will have direct control of the allocation of labor and machinery at our future facilities. Similarly, we expect to be able to respond to customer orders more quickly. There can be no assurance that establishing a facility will be a more cost effective, efficient or quicker way for us to acquire our products.

We believe that the advantages of the manufacturing facility will allow us to pursue institutional customers such as hotels, nursing homes, schools and hospitals, and discount buyers such as club stores. We may also offer to manufacture pasta products for other companies on a private label basis. There can be no assurance that institutional or private label markets for our products will develop.

We intend to re-establish relationships with food brokers and small distributors. Food brokers are particularly helpful when expanding into new geographic markets because a single broker may have existing relationships with numerous supermarkets. We intend to expand into areas where pasta products are popular. Initially, we intend to focus expansion in the Northeast, in markets such as Philadelphia and Boston, where we already have some customers, and then expand into cities such as Washington, Baltimore and Chicago.

Presently, we have no plans or intentions to make acquisitions. However, we believe that a number of opportunities exist for us to accelerate growth by acquiring a complementary or competitive business. We could acquire an entity that has (i) a manufacturing facility suitable for our products, (ii) sells complementary products, or (iii) has established name recognition or distribution lines in regional markets where we do not currently operate.

We believe that the frozen pasta market is a growing market, and that the market for stuffed pasta is likely to grow as well. We believe, although there can be no assurance, that our marketing will put us in position to take advantage of this growth.

G.O.A.T., INC. AGREEMENT

In January 2002, our wholly owned subsidiary, Silver Star Media Group, Inc. entered into amended agreements with amongst other parties, G.O.A.T., Inc. and Premier Sports Media and Entertainment Group, Inc. to be co-publisher of the "Muhammed Ali Collectible Magazine."

MAXIMUM QUALITY FOODS AGREEMENTS

On May 1, 2002, we entered into the following agreements with Maximum Quality Foods, Inc: sublease agreement, equipment acquisition agreement and a $72,000 promissory note in favor of Maximum Quality Foods.

The sublease agreement provides for the sublease of approximately 18,000 square feet at 1251 East Linden Avenue, Linden, New Jersey. The sublease payments we owe are $9.875 per month or $118,500 per year. The term of the sublease commenced on May 1, 2002 and expires on May 31, 2004. We provided a security deposit of $29,625.

The equipment acquisition agreement provided for our purchase of certain refrigeration equipment for our products such as freezer rooms and compressors for the purchase price of $72,000. We executed a promissory note in favor of Maximum Quality Foods for $72,000. The promissory note is for a 3 year period and provides for monthly principal payments of $2,000 each. No interest accrues on the promissory note unless it defaults on any payments.

EMPLOYEES

As of July 1, 2002, we had 1 full-time employee.

Item 2. Description of Property

We currently lease office space pursuant to a sublease agreement dated May 1, 2002 for property located at 1251 East Linden Avenue, Linden, New Jersey. The space is approximately 18,000 square feet. The present monthly rent is $9,875 per month or $118,500 per year. The sublease commenced May 1, 2002 and expires on May 31, 2004. We believe that this space is sufficient for us at this time.

Item 3. Legal Proceedings

Except as stated below, the Company is not currently subject to any material legal proceedings.

In January 2001, Mount Rose obtained a judgment against us in the amount of $283,461.79. We negotiated a settlement with Mount Rose to pay such amount out of the proceeds of this offering. Specifically, we agreed to pay Mount Rose 50% of the net amount received by us for the sale of the 5,000,000 shares registered until Mount Rose is paid in full. To date, we have paid Mount Rose the full $283,461.79.

Item 6. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

GENERAL

We are a distributor and wholesaler of stuffed and other frozen pasta products, which we market under the "Silver Star" trade name. We have no manufacturing facilities of our own but instead have products manufactured by a separate, independent manufacturer, to our special recipes. We then sell them through a network of food brokers to retail establishments. We commenced operations in May, 1995.

A substantial portion of our sales to supermarkets are made during promotions or "specials" during which we advertise in the chain's store circular. These specials are typically booked by our food brokers eight weeks in advance of the scheduled sale. We can typically expect to generate greater volume from the supermarkets in periods in which they are participating in the store circulars.

During our fiscal first, second and third quarters ending December 31, 2001 ("fiscal 2001"), we decided to stop promotional activities due to the increasing amount of time and effort required in connection with our ongoing efforts to complete our registered offering, and our lack of operating capital. This resulted in a decline in net sales.

We have contracted with a new food brokerage company and plan to reestablish our sales with in the tri state New York area and surrounding markets. We plan to use the initial funds raised from the offering to re-slot our products into existing customers and expand into new customers. We then plan on acquiring space for the installation of a manufacturing facility. This would enable us to increase our profit margins and participate more fully in "price competitive" marketing which is common in the retail market. We also hope to pursue other distribution channels for our product as a result of our own manufacturing capabilities. Concurrent with the establishment of a facility, we anticipate that both our direct costs and operating costs will increase as we add a full-time workforce, increase insurance coverage and increase marketing efforts. However, there are no assurances that we will be able to increase revenue, increase our gross profit or attain and sustain profitability as a result of these expenditures.

Our wholly owned subsidiary, Silver Star Media Group, Inc., recently entered into an agreement with several parties including G.O.A.T., Inc. The agreement provides for Silver Star Media to become a co-publisher of the "Muhammad Ali Collectible Magazine." The agreement required a non-refundable payment of $300,000 which was made in early January 2002. The first publication run of the magazine is scheduled to be completed in May and the magazine should become available through several channels of distribution shortly thereafter.

Our independent accountants have issued a going concern opinion in their report as of March 31, 2002, citing our recurring operating losses for the years ending March 31, 2002 and 2001 of $287,422 and $264,013 respectively. These losses raise substantial doubts about our ability to continue as a going concern. Our plans with respect to these issues include and are primarily based upon the registered offering.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS FOR THE YEAR ENDING MARCH 31, 2002 AS COMPARED TO MARCH 31, 2001.

We had net sales of $3,890 for the year ending March 31, 2002 as compared to $282,747 for the year ending March 31, 2001, a decrease of $278,857 (98%). The decrease is attributable to our decision to reduce the amount of promotional activity during this time due to the amount of time and effort required in connection with our ongoing efforts to complete our registered offering, and our lack of operating capital.

Costs of sales decreased during the year ending March 31, 2002 to $1745 from $245,090 for the year ending March 31, 2001, a decrease of $243,345 (99%). The decrease corresponds to our decrease in sales for the comparative periods. As a percentage of net sales, costs of sales were approximately 45% and 87% for the years ending March 31, 2002 and 2001 respectively.

Operating expenses increased to $275,920 from $258,603 for the year ending March 31, 2002 as compared to 2001, an increase of $17,317 (7%).

Amortization expense for the comparative periods was $13,677 in each of the years ending March 31, 2002 and 2001 in relation to the trade name.

We had a net loss for the year ending March 31, 2002 of $287,442 as compared to a net loss of $234,613 for the year ending March 31, 2001, an increase of $52,829 (23%).

YEARS ENDING MARCH 31, 2001 AS COMPARED TO DECEMBER 31, 2000

We had net sales of $282,747 for the year ending March 31, 2001 as compared to $658,775 for the year ending March 31, 2000, a decrease of $376,028 (57%). The decrease is attributable to our lack of working capital. Additionally, the Company was unable to participate in many store promotions due to the temporary loss of its food broker during the year ending March 31, 2000

Costs of sales decreased $271,844 or 53% to $245,090 for the year ending March 31, 2001 from $516,934 for the year ending March 31, 2000. As a percentage of net sales, cost of sales increased to 87% for the year ending March 31, 2001 from 79% for the year ending March 31, 2000. These increases are attributed to product price increases to the Company during the year ending March 31, 2001.

Operating expenses were $258,603 for the year ending March 31, 2001 as compared to $426,915 for the year ending March 31, 2000, a decrease of $168,312. Amortization expense was approximately $13,667 for each of the years ending March 31, 2001 and , 2000, respectively.

State Securities Violations

Our issuances of common stock pursuant to our registered offering, might be considered to violate certain state securities laws since we have not undertaken to register the securities in the states that we have sold the securities. This would allow holders of the securities the right to rescind and demand the return of their purchase price for the securities.

Holders of these securities may be able to make a claim to rescind the sale or issuance of these securities to them and demand a return of the purchase price paid for these shares. We are not aware of any pending claims of rescission against us. Nevertheless, it is possible that a claim could be made by one or more of the holders of our securities under state law since the statute of limitations for violating state securities laws varies from state to state. If a state court were to hold that we violated state securities laws, we could be forced to rescind the sales of our securities, requiring significant monetary payments to the claiming owners equaling approximately $16,280 as of March 31, 2001 and $34,150 as of March 31, 2002. These claims, if successful, could exceed our cash reserves and require us to borrow funds and would materially and negatively affect our results of operations and financial condition.

Item 7. Financial Statements

Our financial statements, together with the report of auditors, are included in this report after the signature pages.

Item 8. Changes In and Disagreements With Accountants on Accounting and Financial Disclosure

Our accountant is Zeller Weiss & Kahn, LLP of Mountainside, New Jersey. We do not presently intend to change accountants. At no time has there been any disagreements with such accountants regarding any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure.

                          INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT

To The Board of Directors
Silver Star Foods, Inc. and Subsidiary
Linden, New Jersey

     We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of Silver Star
Foods, Inc. and Subsidiary as of March 31, 2002 and the related consolidated
statements of operations, stockholders' equity (deficiency), and cash flows for
the years ended March 31, 2002 and 2001. These consolidated financial statements
are the responsibility of the Company's Board of Directors. 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
consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit
includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and
disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. An audit also includes
assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by the
Company, as well as evaluating the overall consolidated financial statement
presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our
opinion.

     In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above
present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Silver Star
Foods, Inc. and Subsidiary as of March 31, 2002, and the results of its
operations, stockholders' equity (deficiency) and cash flows for the years ended
March 31, 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
1 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company has incurred continuing
losses. This condition raises substantial doubt about its ability to continue as
a going concern. Management's plans regarding those matters are also described
in Note 1. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments
that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

                     SILVER STAR FOODS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARY

                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

                   FOR THE YEARS ENDED MARCH 31, 2002 AND 2001


1.   Going concern:

     The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in conformity with
     generally accepted accounting principles, which contemplate continuation of
     the Company as a going concern. The Company had net operating losses of
     $287,442 and $234,613 at March 31, 2002 and 2001 respectively, as well as a
     loss in the immediate prior year.

     In March 2001, the Company filed a registration statement with the
     Securities and Exchange Commission in order to register 5,000,000 shares to
     raise capital of approximately $3,750,000. The Company received
     approximately $1,600,000 from the issuance of common stock during the year
     and at March 31, 2002, the Company's working capital and stockholders'
     equity were positive.

     Based on these events, management believes that the Company has the ability
     to continue operations during the subsequent fiscal year. The accompanying
     financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the
     recoverability and classification of asset values or the amount and
     classification of liabilities that might result should the Company be
     unable to continue as a going concern.

2.   Description of business:

     The Company was incorporated in the State of New York on March 28, 1995
     under the name of Silver Star Ravioli Co., Inc. On July 21, 1997, the
     Company filed a Certificate of Amendment of Incorporation authorizing the
     Company to issue an aggregate of up to 15,000,000 shares, $.0001 par value.

     On July 28, 1997, the Board of Directors resolved to change the name of the
     Company to Silver Star Foods, Inc. and filed a Certificate of Amendment of
     the Certificate of Incorporation to that effect.

     In June, 2000 the Company filed a Certificate of Amendment of Incorporation
     increasing its authorization to issue shares of its $.0001 par value common
     stock to 50,000,000.

     The Company is presently a distributor of frozen pasta food products which
     it markets under the "Silver Star" name. The Company initially acquires its
     prepared pre-packaged products from a local manufacturer.

     In May 2001, the Company formed and incorporated Casa Mia Imports, Inc., a
     100% wholly owned subsidiary of Silver Star Foods, Inc. In December 2001,
     the subsidiary changed its name to Silver Star Media Group, Inc. (SSMG) and
     entered into an agreement to co-publish a magazine chronicling the history
     of the heavyweight boxing championship and featuring Muhammad Ali and other
     boxing champions. For the right to use Mr. Ali's name and likeness, the
     Company agreed to pay to G.O.A.T., Inc. the sum of $300,000 immediately.
     The magazine's content is subject to approval by G.O.A.T., Inc.

     The Company is to receive 15% of net profits after all costs of producing
     the magazine have been paid. An additional $200,000 paid to G.O.A.T., Inc.
     $300,000 paid to SSMG and costs incurred by other involved parties as per
     an agreement dated December 28, 2001 have been satisfied. The magazine is
     expected to be available at newsstands mid May 2002.

     financial institutions, which at times may be in excess of the FDIC
     insurance limit. At March 31, 2002 the Company's cash balance was
     approximately $412,000 over the FDIC insured limit.

     Revenue recognition:
     The Company recognizes revenue as its goods and services are picked up by
     its shipping carriers and delivered to customers. The Company has adopted
     Securities and Exchange Commission Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 101
     "Revenue Recognition in Financial Statements". The adoption did not have a
     material impact on the Company's results of operations or financial
     condition.

     Property and equipment:
     Property and equipment are recorded at cost and are depreciated over their
     estimated lives. Depreciation is computed on the straight-line method,
     which for office equipment is five years.

     Long-lived assets:
     The Company reviews property and equipment and certain identifiable
     intangible assets for impairment whenever events or changes in
     circumstances indicate the carrying amount of an asset may not be
     recoverable. Recoverability of these assets is measured by comparison of
     its carrying amount to future undiscounted cash flows the assets are
     expected to generate. If property and equipment and certain identifiable
     intangibles are considered to be impaired, the impairment to be recognized
     equals the amount by which the carrying value of the assets exceeds its
     fair market value. For the two years ended March 31, 2002 and 2001, the
     Company has made no material adjustments to its long-lived assets.

     Slotting fees:
     The accompanying financial statements reflect slotting fee expenditures as
     charges to operations when incurred because (i) none of the slotting fees
     were supported by written agreements and (ii) management was unable to
     forecast the future economic benefits, if any, of the expenditures
     primarily due to the Company's limited operating history. Slotting fees
     charged to operations for the years ended March 31, 2002 and 2001 were $0
     and $44,486, respectively.

     Income taxes:
     The Company has adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No 109
     ("SFAS 109"), "Accounting for Income Taxes" at its inception. Under SFAS
     109, the deferred tax provision is determined under the liability method.
     Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized based
     on the differences between the financial statement carrying amount and the
     tax bases of assets and liabilities using presently enacted tax rates.

                   FOR THE YEARS ENDED MARCH 31, 2002 AND 2001

3.   Summary of significant accounting policies (continued):

     Earnings per share:
     The loss per share for the years ended March 31, 2002 and 2001 has been
     calculated based on the weighted average number of common shares
     outstanding. During the periods presented the Company had no common stock
     equivalents issued or outstanding. Therefore, basic and diluted earnings
     per share are the same.

     Recently issued pronouncements:
     Several new pronouncements have been issued by the Financial Accounting
     Standards Board. The Company has reviewed these and feel they do not have a
     direct material effect in the financial statements for the years ending
     March 31, 2002 and 2001.

     In June 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of
     Financial Accounting Standards No. 142 (FAS 142), Goodwill and other
     Intangible Assets. FAS 142 provides guidance on applying generally accepted
     accounting principles to long-lived assets issues in financial statements.
     The Company will adopt FAS 142 as required in the first fiscal quarter of
     2002 and does not expect that such adoption will have a material effect on
     its consolidated results of operations and financial position.

     Comprehensive income:
     There were no items of other comprehensive income for the years ended March
     31, 2002 and 2001, and thus, net income is equal to comprehensive income
     for each of those years.

     Use of Estimates:
     The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally
     accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and
     assumptions that affect certain reported amounts and disclosures.
     Accordingly, actual results could differ from those estimates.

4.   Accounts receivable:

     Accounts receivable consist of trade receivables arising in the ordinary
     course of business and are presented net of estimated discounts and
     allowances of $0 and $8,863 as at March 31, 2002 and 2001, respectively.
     Management continually reviews its trade receivable credit risk and has
     adequately allowed for potential losses.

5.   Prepaid expenses:

     Prepaid expenses at March 31, 2002 consisted of the following:

         Website creation          $ 42,500
         Sales commissions            5,000
         Magazine costs             355,000
         Legal                        1,000

6.   Property and equipment:

     At March 31, 2002, property and equipment consisted of the following:

         Office equipment                         $  1,850
         Less:  accumulated depreciation             155

                                                  $  1,695

7.   Tradename:

     The Company acquired the rights to the "Silver Star" tradename from a
     related party of the principal stockholder pursuant to an agreement which
     was formalized in July 1997 at a cost of $205,000. The tradename is being
     amortized on a straight-line basis over a fifteen year period. Amortization
     expense was $13,667 for each of the years ending March 31, 2002 and 2001.

8.   Investment:

     The Company has an investment in a start-up business which will provide
     information via the internet on entertainment and dining in the Miami,
     Florida area.

9.   Income taxes:

     At March 31, 2002, the Company has a net operating loss carryforward
     amounting to approximately $2,346,000 available to reduce future taxable
     income which expire in the years 2010 through 2017, which upon recognition
     may result in future tax benefits of approximately $797,640. At March 31,
     2002 management is unable to determine if the utilization of the future tax
     benefit is more likely than not and accordingly, the asset of approximately
     $797,640 has been fully offset by a valuation allowance equal to the tax
     benefit.

10.  Commitments and contingencies:

     The Company has entered into a manufacturing agreement for the procurement
     of product. The agreement calls for price adjustments semiannually based on
     cost increases if any, relating to raw materials.

     At March 31, 2002, the Company had an outstanding judgment against it in
     the amount of $284,352 from one of its accounts payable vendors. The
     balance due on the judgment at March 31, 2002 was $47,844. The judgment was
     satisfied in full in May, 2002.
