Persons reviewing this report are cautioned that any forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance and are subject to risks and uncertainties and that actual results may differ materially from those included within the forward-looking statements as a result of various factors. ITEM 1. DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS. GENERAL We were formed as a Nevada corporation on May 15, 1997 as Kafco Corp. On April 11, 2001 we changed our name to Woodland Hatchery, Inc. We are developing a fish hatchery to provide fish for private fly-fishing enterprises and the wholesale and retail sales of organic fish. The Utah Department of Agriculture is implementing an organic agriculture program. The program will include guidelines and rules to raising organic fish. We intend to comply with the requirements to have our fish certified as organic. Our hatchery is located in Utah and we will market and sell our fish initially in Utah. We may consider marketing and selling fish in the nearby states of Wyoming, Idaho and Colorado once we have proven operations. OUR BUSINESS Our hatchery is located in Woodland, Utah, a location approximately twenty minutes east of Park City in the Upper Provo River Valley. The address is 1442 Lower River Road, Woodland, Utah. It is our intent to provide rainbow and brown trout for private fly-fishing enterprises and also to provide organically grown fish for wholesale and retail customers. We are leasing ground and water rights from Seth Winterton, father of Cody Winterton, our president, on which we have constructed our hatchery and will initiate our operations. Our lease payments are $1,200 per year. The lease allows us unrestricted use of approximately one acre of land through which the hatchery waterways run. We are also granted unrestricted access rights to the property. The lease is for an initial period of twenty years as of June 2001 and is renewable annually after expiration unless either party gives notice to terminate the lease. All improvements to the land will belong to the owner of the property upon termination of the lease. We have selected the Woodland, Utah site because rainbow trout require large amounts of high quality water with a minimum dissolved oxygen concentration of 5 mg/L. The selected site is ideal for a fish hatchery because of the quality, volume and temperature of the water. We have chosen to raise trout species including German brown and Kamaloop rainbow trout. These species were chosen based on our environment including water temperature, seasons and water flows. Trout production facilities usually consist of indoor rearing facilities and outdoor raceways and ponds. The rearing facilities are usually used for producing trout from the fertilized eggs to fingerlings. Trout farmers who have brood stock can produce their own fertilized eggs or purchase them from commercial trout egg producers. After trout eggs are fertilized, they are placed in a flow through incubator and are not disturbed until the eye spot appears in the eggs. After hatching, the sac fry are raised in shallow troughs 3 and they contain a large yolk sac, which provides nutrition for three to six weeks. When most of the yolk sac is absorbed, they begin to swim to the water surface to begin feeding. It is at this time that the fry are fed an artificial starter diet. They are moved to production raceways and ponds when they reach the fingerling stage which is about 3 inches. As trout grow they are fed various sizes of food with specific protein percentages. We have completed construction of the hatchery which consists of two concrete raceways with free flowing water, including two small incubators. A flowing stream has been diverted to run through the raceways to simulate a natural stream or riverbed. Total cost for construction was $23,500. The concrete design of the raceways aids in the quality of the fish hatchery while making the walls and floors easy to clean. At times water may be diverted away from the raceways to allow them to sun-dry and kill diseases that may potentially exist. Our breeding operations commenced with the purchase of 2,000 pounds of six inch trout, weighing eight ounces per fish. The initial purchase consisted of 1,000 pounds of German Browns purchased from The Wyoming Trout Ranch and 1,000 pounds of Kamaloop Rainbow Trout purchased from Black Canyon Trout Farm in Idaho. By starting with six inch trout we had hoped to have fish ready to sell in the fall of 2002, however, the fish have taken longer to mature than we anticipated. As a result, we do not expect to begin selling trout until the summer or fall of 2003. In addition to purchasing fingerling trout, we will breed our own fish. Twenty or so of the largest and strongest of each species will be kept for breeding. These brood fish will provide the eggs for subsequent generations. Once our breeding stock is established we do not anticipate having to purchase additional fish. Our goal is to produce sufficient fingerlings to have 17,000 pounds of six inch marketable trout ready to sell in 2003. We have contracted to sell the initial 2,000 pounds of fish to Winterton Ranches. At the time of sale, the fish will have increased in size to approximately 14 to 18 inches and will have doubled in weight. Winterton Ranches will use the fish to stock ponds already existing on their property. We currently lease our property from Winterton Ranches who has adjoining property with ours. Winterton Ranches has an existing fish permit from the State of Utah which will allow us to transfer fish to their facilities without restriction. Our goal is to increase our fish production to 30,000 pounds in 2004 and at that time to further expand the hatchery facilities. FISH PURCHASE AGREEMENT Winterton Ranches, an entity controlled by Seth Winterton who is our president's father, entered into a purchase agreement with us on July 1, 2001. The original agreement provided that Winterton Ranches would purchase 10,000 pounds of trout at market price, subject to availability, beginning on July 1, 2002 through July 1, 2004. Target production dates were as follows: 2,000 pounds at or about July 1, 2002 4,000 pounds at or about July 1, 2003 4,000 pounds at or about July 1, 2004 Unfortunately, it has taken longer for the fish to mature than we anticipated. Consequently, we were unable to deliver any fish to Winterton Ranches during 2002. Because of the delay in achieving our target production levels, on December 15, 2002, Winterton Ranches modified the purchase agreement. Winterton has agreed to accept as many fish as we can produce beginning in the summer of 4 2003. A copy of the modified agreement is attached as an exhibit to this report. Should Winterton Ranches fail to purchase our entire inventory of trout, we believe that other outlets exist for our fish. However, we are not seeking additional customers at the present time. Should we sell to parties other than Winterton Ranches, we will apply for the appropriate transportation permit. MARKETING AND ADVERTISING Once we have established our breeding operations, we intend to associate the Woodland name with quality fish that will be made available to existing fly fishing facilities. We will list our facility with the State of Utah who provides a list of facilities to people seeking to purchase fish for private stocking of fish. This method will comprise most of the marketing relating to transporting fish off our facility since there is a demand for certified State fish. We also intend to advertise in local and regional outdoor magazines and related publications. We will be able to advertise our fish as certified State fish once we have the appropriate tests conducted by the State of Utah and they certify our fish are disease free. We hope to be certified sometime in 2003. COMPETITION Our main competition will come from Wyoming Trout Ranch, Black Canyon in Idaho, Gary Stringham in Utah, Trout Lodge in Washington, Mt. View Trout Ranch in Utah, and Spring Lake in Utah. Though there are other facilities in Utah, the hatcheries identified hold current permits with the state of Utah for transporting fish. We believe we can be competitive because of the demand for fish in Utah, our location, and our limited overhead costs. Specifically, we have free flowing water without a need to pump water, thus reducing our costs and eliminating risks from electrical power failure. GOVERNMENTAL REGULATION To prevent the spread of disease and the destruction of habitat by non-native species, the State of Utah strictly regulates live fish sales. Utah requires two types of permits. The first allows us to receive fish into our facility and raise them. The second permit allows us to transport fish away from our facility to another property. We have been issued the first permit. The second permit, that allows us to transport fish away from our facility is more complex and will be filed for in 2003. This permit requires that 60 randomly chosen live fish be transported to the state laboratory where they conduct several tests, checking for disease that would be harmful to other facilities. Approval for a permit can take up to a week while the tests are being conducted. We will not require a transport permit to transport fish to Winterton Ranches. Our hatchery is on leased land owned by Winterton Ranches who currently has a permit to receive fish. The permit applies to the entire 100 acres of Winterton Ranches. We will require a transport permit to transport fish to locations outside of Winterton Ranches. We do not anticipate any problems in obtaining the permit. If the State of Utah finds disease during an inspection, all fish infected by the disease are destroyed and the hatchery raceways drained, cleaned and sanitized. The hatchery raceways would be inspected again by the state before more fish could be raised. Should our operations reach 50,000 pounds, we will then have to obtain permits from the Environmental Protection Agency for our hatchery. At the current time, we are not subject to any EPA regulations and do not anticipate reaching production of 50,000 pounds in the near future. We are not aware of any other governmental regulation with which we must comply in order to operate our hatchery. 5 EMPLOYEES Our president, Cody Winterton is our only employee. We do not intend on hiring additional personnel unless our operations grow to a point where we require help. We estimate that Mr. Winterton devotes approximately 20 hours per week to managing our operations. We do not have a formal employment agreement with Mr. Winterton and he has agreed to not take any salary until our operations are profitable. ITEM 2. DESCRIPTION OF PROPERTY. We do not own any real property. Our hatchery is on approximately one acre of leased property and consists of two concrete raceways within a tributary course of the Provo River. We have a small storage facility that houses fish food and miscellaneous tools and equipment. The terms of our lease are $1,200 per year for a period of twenty years, expiring in June of 2021. We utilize office space provided at no cost by our president, Cody Winterton. We anticipate that this arrangement will continue indefinitely as our current operations do not require independent office facilities. ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS. To the best of our knowledge, no legal proceedings are threatened or pending against our Company or our sole officer and director. None of our affiliates are parties against Woodland or have any material interests in actions that are adverse to our interests. ITEM 4. SUBMISSION OF MATTERS TO A VOTE OF SECURITIES HOLDERS. No matters were submitted during the fourth quarter of the fiscal year covered by this report to a vote of security holders. PART II ITEM 5. MARKET FOR COMMON EQUITY AND RELATED STOCKHOLDER MATTERS. Our common stock is listed on the Over the Counter Bulletin Board under the symbol WLDH. As of December 31, 2002, we had approximately 63 shareholders holding 11,470,000 shares of common stock. Of the issued and outstanding common stock, 1,470,000 are free trading, the balance are restricted stock as that term is used in Rule 144.

The above quotations, as provided by the National Quotation Bureau, LLC, represent prices between dealers and do not include retail markup, markdown or commission. In addition, these quotations do not represent actual transactions. 6 We have not paid, nor declared, any dividends since inception and do not intend to declare any such dividends in the foreseeable future. Our ability to pay dividends is subject to limitations imposed by Nevada law. Under Nevada law, dividends may be paid to the extent that a corporation's assets exceed its liabilities and it is able to pay its debts as they become due in the usual course of business. ITEM 6. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OR PLAN OF OPERATION. YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2002 AND 2001 We did not generate any revenue during the years ended December 31, 2002 and 2001. We anticipate that we will begin generating revenue under our agreement with Winterton Ranches as soon as our initial generation of fish reaches maturity and a breeding stock is established. During the year ended December 31, 2002 our expenses were $34,272. Expenses in 2002 consisted of general and administrative costs. During the year ended December 31, 2001, our general and administrative costs were $12,844. We also had interest expense of $1,394 in 2001 resulting in net loss of $14,238. Higher administrative costs in 2002 were largely due to expenses associated with conducting a public offering that closed in January of 2002. Legal, accounting and professional fees relating to our public offering were approximately $20,000. General and administrative costs in 2001 were largely the result of professional fees and expenses relating to our public reporting responsibilities. As a result of these factors, we realized net losses of $34,272 for the year ended December 31, 2002 and $14,238 for the year ended December 31, 2001. Cumulative loss from inception on May 15, 1997 through December 31, 2002 is $51,220. LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES At December 31, 2002 we had total assets of $35,372. Current assets consisted of $5,623 in cash, $4,087 in prepaid expenses and $942 in inventory. Other assets consisted of property and equipment valued at $24,720. Current assets at December 31, 2001 consisted of $53,974 in cash and $746 in inventory. Other assets at December 31, 2001 consisted of property and equipment valued at $14,943. Total current liabilities at December 31, 2002 consisted of $1,842 in accounts payable compared to liabilities at December 31, 2001 of $20,611 in accounts payable. In November of 2001, we initiated a public offering that closed in January of 2002, generating $75,000. The majority of proceeds went to paying debts, covering offering costs and developing our hatchery facilities. We do not anticipate any substantial property or equipment expenditures over the next twelve months since our hatchery is operational and we have secured an inventory of trout. On September 20, 2002 we issued 75,000 restricted shares as reported on Form S-8 for future legal and consulting services valued at $18,750. We do not anticipate any similar expenditures in the next twelve months. PLAN OF OPERATION We estimate that general and administrative expenses for the next twelve months will be approximately $14,000. This estimate is based on our average costs less offering expenses and consulting fees over the past two years. We hope to cover these costs with cash on hand and with expected proceeds from fish sales under our purchase agreement. Winterton Ranches has agreed to purchase at market value as many fish as we can produce beginning in 2003. Winterton Ranches is currently our only customer. We are not seeking additional customers at the present time and do not have a contingency plan if Winterton does not purchase our fish. Our auditors have expressed substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a growing concern because of our history of losses and lack of revenue. Additional delays in fish production could force us to seek additional sources of operating capital. If we should find it necessary to raise additional capital, we may sell common stock or enter into debt financing arrangements. 7 We intend to continue complying with our duties as public company. To demonstrate our commitment to operating fairly and ethically, we have recently adopted a Corporate Code of Ethics that is attached as an exhibit to this report. ITEM 7. FINANCIAL STATEMENTS. Our financial statements appear at the end of this report beginning with the Index to Financial Statements on page 12. ITEM 8.

12 INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT To the Stockholders and Board of Directors of Woodland Hatchery, Inc. We have audited the accompanying balance sheet of Woodland Hatchery, Inc. (a development stage company), as of December 31, 2002 and 2001 and the related statements of operations, stockholders' equity, and cash flows for the years then ended and the cumulative amounts since inception. 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 audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion. In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Woodland Hatchery, Inc. (a development stage company), as of December 31, 2002 and 2001 and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years then ended and the cumulative amounts since inception, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 2 to the financial statements, the Company's revenue generating activities are not in place and the Company has incurred a loss. These conditions raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Management's plans regarding those matters also are described in Note 2. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty. /s/JONES SIMKINS LLP ----------------------- Logan, Utah February 24, 2003 13

See accompanying notes to financial statements 17 WOODLAND HATCHERY, INC (A Development Stage Company) NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS December 31 2002 and 2001 Note 1 - Organization and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Organization ------------ Woodland Hatchery, Inc. (the Company) was organized under the laws of the State of Nevada on May 15, 1997 (date of inception). From May 15, 1997 (date of inception) until December 31, 2000, the Company's activities consisted of seeking business ventures, which would allow for long-term growth. Subsequent to December 31, 2000, the Company initiated plans to begin operating a fish hatchery located in Woodland, Utah. Further, the Company is considered a development stage company as defined in SFAS No. 7 and has not, thus far, commenced planned principal operations. Cash and Cash Equivalents ---------------------------- For purposes of the statement of cash flows, the Company considers all highly liquid investments with a maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. Income Taxes ------------- Deferred income taxes are provided in amounts sufficient to give effect to temporary differences between financial and tax reporting, principally related to net operating loss carryforwards. Earnings Per Share -------------------- The computation of basic earnings per common share is based on the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the period. The computation of diluted earnings per common share is based on the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the period plus the 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 earnings per share calculation when their effect is antidilutive. The Company does not have any stock options or warrants outstanding at December 31, 2002 and 2001. Concentration of Credit Risk ------------------------------- The Company maintains its cash in bank deposit accounts, which, at times, may exceed federally insured limits. The Company has not experienced any losses in such accounts and believes it is not exposed to any significant credit risk on cash and cash equivalents. Use of Estimates in the Preparation of Financial Statements ------------------------------------------------------------------- The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. 18 WOODLAND HATCHERY, INC (A Development Stage Company) NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS December 31 2002 and 2001 Note 1 - Organization and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued) -------------------------------------------------------------------- Inventories ----------- Inventories consist of fish and fish food and is valued at the lower of cost or market using the first-in and first-out (FIFO) method. Property and Equipment ------------------------ Property and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation and amortization is determined using the straight-line and accelerated methods over the estimated useful lives of the assets. Expenditures for maintenance and repairs are expensed when incurred and betterments are capitalized. Gains and losses on sale of property and equipment are reflected in operations. Note 2 - Going Concern -------------------------- As of December 31, 2002, the Company's revenue generating activities are not in place, and the Company has incurred a loss for the year then ended. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. Management intends to seek additional funding through increasing equity ownership. There can be no assurance that such funds will be available to the Company, or available on terms acceptable to the Company. Note 3 - Property and Equipment ------------------------------------ Property and equipment consists of the following at December 31:

During the year ended December 31, 2002, the Company issued 75,000 shares of common stock in exchange for legal services valued at $18,750. 20 WOODLAND HATCHERY, INC (A Development Stage Company) NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS December 31 2002 and 2001 Note 6 - Stock Plan ----------------------- The Company has adopted a benefit plan (the Plan). The Plan provides for the granting of up to 750,000 shares of stock. Under the Plan, the Company may issue shares of the Company's common stock or grant options to acquire the Company's common stock from time to time to employees, directors, officers, consultants or advisors of the Company on the terms and conditions set forth in the Plan. In addition, at the discretion of the Board of Directors, stock may from time to time be granted under this Plan to other individuals, including consultants or advisors, who contribute to the success of the Company but are not employees of the Company. As of December 31, 2002, no stock or stock options have been issued under this plan. Note 7 - Recent Accounting Pronouncements ---------------------------------------------- In June 2002, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 146, Accounting for Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities (SFAS 146). This Statement addresses financial accounting and reporting for costs associated with exit or disposal activities and nullifies Emerging Issues Task Force (Issue No. 94-3, "Liability Recognition for Certain Employee Termination Benefits and Other Costs to Exit an Activity (including Certain Costs Incurred in a Restructuring)." The provisions of this Statement are effective for exit or disposal activities that are initiated after December 31, 2002. Management does not expect the adoption of SFAS 146 to have a significant impact on the financial position or results of operations of the Company. In April 2002, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 145, Rescission of FASB Statements No. 4, 44, and 64, Amendment of FASB Statement No. 13, and Technical Corrections (SFAS 145). This Statement changes the method for reporting gains on the extinguishment of debt and eliminates an inconsistency between the required accounting for sale-leaseback transactions and the required accounting for certain lease modifications that have economic effects that are similar to sale-leaseback transactions. This Statement also amends other existing authoritative pronouncements to make various technical corrections, clarify meanings, or describe their applicability under changed conditions. Management does not expect the adoption of SFAS 145 to have a significant impact on the financial position or results of operations of the Company. In August 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 144, Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets (SFAS 144). The new guidance resolves significant implementation issues related to FASB Statement No. 121, Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed of. SFAS 144 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2001. The adoption of this statement is not expected to have a material effect on the Company's financial position or results of operations. In June 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 143, Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations (SFAS 143). This Statement requires that the fair value of a liability for an asset retirement obligation be recognized in the period in which it is incurred if a reasonable estimate of fair value can be made. The associated asset retirement costs are capitalized as part of the carrying amount of the long-lived asset. The adoption of this statement is not expected to have a material effect on the Company's financial position or results of operations. 21 WOODLAND HATCHERY, INC (A Development Stage Company) NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS December 31 2002 and 2001 Note 7 - Recent Accounting Pronouncements (continued) ----------------------------------------------------------- In July 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (FAS) No. 141, "Business Combinations" and No. 142, "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets." The statements eliminate the pooling-of-interests method of accounting for business combinations and require that goodwill and certain intangible assets not be amortized. Instead, these assets will be reviewed for impairment annually with any related losses recognized in earnings when incurred. The adoption of these statements is not expected to have a material effect on the company's financial position or results of operations. 22
