PART I


Item 1.

Description of Business


The Company was incorporated under the laws of Utah as Daur & Shaver, Inc. on October 24, 1986.  On August 31, 1987, the Company completed the acquisition of all the outstanding common shares of Western Antenna Research, Inc. a Colorado corporation.  The Company's name was subsequently changed to Western Antenna Corporation.  After two years of unsuccessful operations Western Antenna Research, Inc. was abandoned, the name of the Company was changed to Hortitech, Inc. and the Company was reclassified as a development stage enterprise on November 29, 1989.  Subsequently, the name of the Company was changed to MicroAccel, Inc. (“MicroAccel”) on February 2, 2000.


Effective February 28, 2002, the Company acquired 99.65% interest in Network Lifestyle Radio Corp. ("NLR") under a Share Exchange Agreement, and subsequently changed its name to Health Anti-Aging Lifestyle Options, Inc. (“Halo”).  At the time of acquisition, NLR was a development stage company in the process of developing its business of providing products and services in the health, wellness and anti-aging industry.  


Effective March 31, 2003 Halo completed Compromise and Settlement Agreements to rescind certain Share Exchange Agreements entered into with former shareholders of NLR.  The transactions resulting in Halo transferring and delivering directly and indirectly 5,452,500 common shares in NLR to former directors and executive officers of Halo, who were also prior shareholders of NLR; 4,981,500 common shares in NLR to prior shareholders of NLR and 1,180,133 common shares in NLR to NLR’s treasury on behalf of 22 former NLR shareholders who did not participate in the rescission.  Halo received from the former shareholders of NLR an aggregate of 10,205,500 shares of its Halo common stock, which was cancelled.


Halo is now a development stage company and our plan of operation for the next twelve months will be to: (i) consider guidelines of industries in which the Company may have an interest; (ii) adopt a business plan regarding engaging in business in any selected industry; and (iii) to commence such operations through funding and/or the acquisition of a “going concern” engaged in any industry selected.


Item 2.

Description of Property


The Company currently maintains limited office space occupied by Linda Mitropoulos, one of our directors, for which we do not pay any rent.  The address is 2267 West 10th Avenue, Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada.   We do not believe that we will need to obtain additional office space at any time in the foreseeable future until we commence new business operations.

We are not party to any pending litigation and to the best of our knowledge none is contemplated or threatened.

Section 15(g) of the Exchange Act


The Company’s shares are covered by Section 15(g) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended that imposes additional sales practice requirements on broker/dealers who sell such securities to persons other than established customers and accredited investors (generally institutions with assets in excess of $5,000,000 or individuals with net worth in excess of $1,000,000 or annual income exceeding $200,000 or $300,000 jointly with their spouses).  For transactions covered by the Rule, the broker/dealer must make a special suitability determination for the purchase and have received the purchaser’s written agreement to the transaction prior to the sale.  Consequently, the Rule may affect the ability of broker/dealers to sell our securities and also may affect your ability to sell your shares in the secondary market.


Section 15(g) of the Exchange Act also imposes additional sales practice requirements on broker/dealers who sell penny securities.  These rules require a one-page summary of certain essential items.  The items include the risk of investing in penny stocks in both public offerings and secondary marketing; terms important in the understanding of the function of the penny stock market, such as “bid” and “offer” quotes, a dealers “spread” and broker/deal compensation; the broker/dealer compensation, the broker/dealers duties to its customers, including the disclosures required by any other penny stock disclosure rules, the customers rights and remedies in causes of fraud in penny stock transactions; and, the NASD’s toll free telephone number and the central number of the North American Administrators Association for information on the disciplinary history of broker/dealers and their associates persons.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition or Plan of Operations


This Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition or Plan of Operation and other sections of this report contain forward-looking statements that are based on the current beliefs and expectations of management, as well as assumptions made by, and information currently available to, the Company’s management.  Because such statements involve risks and uncertainties, actual actions and strategies and the timing and expected results thereof may differ materially from those expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements.  Forward-looking statements are often identified by words like: believe, expect, estimate, anticipate, intend, project and similar expressions, or words which, by their nature, refer to future events.


The following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and accompanying notes and other financial information appearing elsewhere in this annual report on Form 10-KSB.  


Results of Operations


Twelve Months ended December 31, 2003 and 2002


During the first quarter of fiscal 2003, the Company directed all of its available resources on rescinding the acquisition of NLR.  On March 31, 2003, the Company completed Compromise and Settlement Agreements to rescind certain Share Exchange Agreement entered into with former shareholder of NLR.  The transaction resulting in the Company transferring and delivering directly and indirectly 5,452,500 common shares in NLR to former directors and executive officers of the Company, who were also prior shareholders of NLR; 4,981,500 common shares in NLR to prior shareholders of NLR and 1,180,133 common shares in NLR to NLR’s treasury on behalf of 22 former NLR shareholders who did not participate in the rescission.  The Company received from former shareholders of NLR an aggregate of 10,205,500 shares of its own common stock, which the Company cancelled.


For the balance of the fiscal year much of the Company’s resources were directed at locating new business opportunities.  To date, the Company has not identified any new business opportunities and has no agreements related to such opportunities.


During fiscal 2003, the Company recorded a loss on the rescission of NLR of $2,327,768.  The Company also recorded a loss on investment of $420,000 on its investment in North American Natural Gas, Inc.


Comprehensive loss of fiscal 2003 was $2,456,541, compared to $873,211 in fiscal 2002, the primary reason for the difference being the cost relating to the rescission of the share exchange agreement with NLR.  


During fiscal 2003, the Company spent $58,780 in general and administrative expenses as compared to $534,672 for fiscal 2002 as the Company was no longer engaged in any active business.  Aside from the normal costs relating to maintaining the Company in good standing with the Regulatory Authorities, during the first quarter of fiscal 2003, the Company incurred some extraordinary accounting, administrative and audit fees in connection with the Rescission of the Share Exchange Agreements with NLR that occurred on March 31, 2003.


During fiscal 2003, the Company suffered a loss of $420,000 on its investment in North American Natural Gas, Inc.  The Company sold the shares to a private arm’s length third party at significantly less than the investment value, as it needed cash to meet its capital requirements.  The Company was unable to sell the shares of its investment through the facilities of the OTC.BB market where the shares are quoted, as there have been insignificant trading activities.


Liquidity and Capital Resources


At December 31, 2003, the Company had total assets of $77,675, comprised solely of cash.  Our liabilities were $21,689, resulting in a positive working capital of $55,986.  At December 31, 2002, the Company had total assets of $178,515, comprised of $28,515 in cash and $150,000 of investment in North American Natural Gas, Inc.  The investment was subsequently sold for $80,000 in 2003.  We had total liabilities of $13,756 for working capital of $14,759.


During the next twelve months, the Company’s only foreseeable cash requirements will relate to maintaining the Company in good standing or the payment of expenses associated with reviewing or investigating any potential business ventures.  We believe that we have sufficient funds to meet our cash requirements for the next twelve months.


Plan of Operation


On March 31, 2003, the Company rescinded its acquisition of Network Lifestyle Radio Corp.  


The Company intends to explore new business opportunities.  The Company has not identified any new business opportunities and has no agreements related to such opportunities.  The Company’s plan of operation for the next twelve months will be to: (i) consider guidelines of industries in which the Company may have an interest; (ii) adopt a business plan regarding engaging in business in any selected industry; and (iii) to commence such operations through funding and/or the acquisition of a “going concern” engaged in any industry selected.


Critical Accounting Policies


The Company's discussions and analysis of its financial condition and results of operations, including the discussion on liquidity and capital resources, are based upon the Company's financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with US GAAP. The preparation of these financial statements requires the Company to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities.  


The financial statements have been prepared on the going concern basis, which assumes that the Company will be able to realize its assets and discharge its obligations in the normal course of business.  If the Company were not to continue as a going concern, it would likely not be able to realize its assets at values comparable to the carrying value or the fair value estimates reflected in the balances set out in the preparation of the financial statements.  The Company may be required to raise additional capital once it engages in another business opportunity.  There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to raise additional capital, and if the Company is unable to raise additional capital, it will unlikely be able to continue as a going concern.

Item 14.

Controls and Procedures


As of December 31, 2003, our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer, evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) promulgated under the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended).  Based on that evaluation, our management, including the Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer, concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective in timely alerting management, including our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer, of material information that we are required to include in periodic Securities and Exchange Commission filings.


There have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the quarter ended December 31, 2003 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect our internal control over financial reporting.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS’ REPORT


To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of

Health Anti-Aging Lifestyle Options, Inc.



We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of Health Anti-Aging Lifestyle Options, Inc. as at December 31, 2003 and 2002 and the related statements of operations, stockholders’ equity and cash flows for the years then ended and cumulative from inception of the development stage on November 29, 1989 through December 31, 2003.  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 United States generally accepted auditing standards.  Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement.  An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements.  An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.  We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.


In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Health Anti-Aging Lifestyle Options, Inc. as at December 31, 2003 and 2002, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years then ended and cumulative from inception of the development stage on November 29, 1989 through December 31, 2003 in conformity with United States generally accepted accounting principles.


The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern.  As discussed in Note 1 to the financial statements, the Company is a development stage company, has had continuing losses from inception and will likely be required to rely upon the issuance of stock for its financing requirements until self-sufficient business operations can be established. These factors together raise substantial doubts about its ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans in regard to these matters are also described in Note 1. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

HEALTH ANTI-AGING LIFESTYLE OPTIONS, INC.

(A Development Stage Company)


NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


December 31, 2003 and 2002


NOTE 1 – NATURE AND CONTINUANCE OF OPERATIONS


The Company was incorporated under the laws of Utah as Daur & Shaver, Inc. on October 24, 1986. On August 31, 1987, the Company completed the acquisition of all the outstanding common shares of Western Antenna Research, Inc. a Colorado corporation.  The Company's name was subsequently changed to Western Antenna Corporation.  After two years of unsuccessful operations Western Antenna Research, Inc. was abandoned, the name of the Company was changed to Hortitech, Inc. and the Company was reclassified as a development stage enterprise on November 29, 1989.  Subsequently, the name of the Company was changed to MicroAccel, Inc. on February 2, 2000.


Effective February 28, 2002, the Company acquired 99.65% interest in Network Lifestyle Radio Corp. (“NLR”) under a Share Exchange Agreement, and subsequently changed its name to Health Anti-Aging Lifestyle Options, Inc. (“Halo”).  At the time of acquisition, NLR was a development stage company, in the process of developing its business of providing products and services in the health, wellness and anti-aging industry. Effective March 31, 2003 Halo rescinded the acquisition of its 99.65% interest in NLR by entering into Compromise and Settlement Agreements.  The Rescission has been accounted for as a reversal of this business combination.  These financial statements reflect the assets, liabilities, stockholders’ equity accounts, revenues, expenses and other comprehensive income and loss for Halo only; they do not include, for any period, a consolidation of the accounts of NLR and its wholly-owned subsidiaries with Halo, as their acquisition has been rescinded (see further Note 3).  Subsequent to the Rescission, Halo has changed its operational focus to searching for, identifying and entering into an investment, either through funding or acquisition, in a new business operation.


The Company is in the development stage.  It has no revenue other than interest income and has accumulated losses during the development stage of $4,538,989. Until a business is acquired or developed and a self-sustaining level of operations is attained, any future financing will likely involve the further issue of capital stock.  The Company’s financial statements were prepared using generally accepted accounting principles applicable to a going concern which contemplate the realization of assets and discharge of liabilities in the normal course of business. Management intends to secure additional financing through the issuance of stock.  However, there can be no assurance that management will be successful in its efforts to secure additional financing through the issuance of common stock, or that it will ever develop a business which is self-supporting.  Such limitations could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial condition or operations, and these financial statements do not include any adjustments that could result therefrom. These factors together raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern.


NOTE 2 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES


Investments


Investments in available-for-sale shares are recorded at estimated fair market value. Unrealized gains or losses are reported in accumulated other comprehensive income.


Advertising costs


All advertising costs, including production and media broadcast, are expensed as incurred.  During the year ended December 31, 2003 the Company incurred no advertising costs (2002:  $11,813).

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


December 31, 2003 and 2002


NOTE 2 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)


Use of estimates


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.


Financial instruments and financial risk


The Company’s financial instruments consist of cash and accounts payable and accrued liabilities.  It is management’s opinion that the Company is not exposed to significant interest, currency or credit risks arising from these financial instruments, and, unless otherwise noted, that the fair value of the current assets and liabilities approximate their carrying values.


Loss per share


Basic loss per common share has been calculated based on Halo’s weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period.  A total of 5,000,000 stock purchase warrants have not been included in the calculation of basic loss per common share, on the basis that such inclusion would be anti-dilutive.


Translation of foreign currencies


The Company’s functional currency is U.S. dollars and unless otherwise indicated all amounts in these financial statements are stated in U.S. dollars.


Revenues and expenses arising from foreign currency transactions are translated into United States dollars at the average rate of exchange for the period.  Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into United States dollars at the rates prevailing on the balance sheet date.  Other assets and liabilities are translated into United States dollars at the rates prevailing on the transaction dates.  Exchange gains and losses are recorded as income or expense in the period in which they occur.


Income taxes


The Company accounts for income taxes under an asset and liability approach that requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been recognized in the Company’s financial statements or tax returns.  In estimating future tax consequences, all expected future events other than enactment of changes in the tax laws or rates are considered.


Due to the uncertainty regarding the Company’s profitability, the future tax benefits of its losses have been fully reserved for and no net tax benefit has been recorded in the financial statements.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS



December 31, 2003 and 2002


NOTE 3 – RESCISSION OF SHARE EXCHANGE AGREEMENT WITH

    NETWORK LIFESTYLE RADIO CORP.


Effective March 31, 2003 Halo entered into Compromise and Settlement Agreements to rescind the Share Exchange Agreement of February 28, 2002.  Under the Share Exchange Agreement, Halo had issued 11,614,133 common shares to acquire 99.65% of the outstanding common stock of Network Lifestyle Radio Corp. (“NLR”) on a one share for one share basis.  The Compromise and Settlement Agreements effectively resulted in Halo receiving, and subsequently canceling, a total of 10,205,500 shares of its own common stock from former shareholders of NLR, in exchange for transferring to the former shareholders of NLR 10,434,000 of NLR shares.  Under the terms of the Compromise and Settlement Agreements Halo also returned 1,180,133 shares of NLR to NLR for cancellation.  Further, all advances from Halo to NLR were cancelled, as were the employment agreements with two former officers of Halo. As at December 31, 2003 Halo does not own any shares of NLR, and the Company’s 1,690,000 employee stock options, issued to former employees, have been cancelled.

 

The Rescission has been accounted for as a reversal of the business combination entered into effective February 28, 2002 under the Share Exchange Agreement.  These financial statements reflect the assets, liabilities, shareholders’ equity accounts, revenues, expenses and other comprehensive income and loss for Halo only.  The financial statements accordingly do not include for any period a consolidation of the accounts of NLR and its wholly owned subsidiaries with Halo.


As at December 31, 2002 the Company had advanced a total of $2,297,768 to NLR. The Company considered these costs to be part of the cost of the business combination.  Accordingly, the advances were reflected in stockholders’ equity as a cost of the original share exchange business combination.  Effective with the Rescission, the advances to NLR were cancelled.  For the year ended December 31, 2003, the Company recognized the cancellation of the advances together with related additional costs of $30,000, for a total amount of $2,327,768, as a loss on the rescission of the share exchange agreement.



NOTE 4 – INVESTMENT IN DEVELOPMENT STAGE COMPANY


In July 2002, the Company paid $500,000 to acquire 500,000 shares of North American Natural Gas, Inc. (formerly FAR Group, Inc.), a Washington State corporation in the development stage.  


As at December 31, 2002, the Company re-valued its investment in North American Natural Gas, Inc. to $150,000, after considering such factors as liquidity of its investment, the development stage of the investee’s operations, and its need to obtain additional financing from a new marketing partner or investors, and recorded a comprehensive loss of $350,000.


During the year ended December 31, 2003, the Company sold all of its shares in North American Natural Gas, Inc. for proceeds of $80,000, and recorded a loss of $420,000 on the sale of its investment.  The Company further reversed to income the comprehensive loss of $350,000 recorded in the prior year.

As permitted by Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) 123, the Company has elected to continue to follow Accounting Principles Opinion 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees (“APB 25”), and related interpretations in accounting for its employee stock awards.  Under APB 25, when the exercise price of the Company’s employee stock awards is not less than the market price of the underlying stock on the date of grant, no compensation expense is recognized.  As all of the Company’s stock options had been priced with an exercise price equal to the market price on the date of grant, no compensation expense to employees has been recognized in the accompanying financial statements.


The grant date fair value of employee options granted in the first quarter of 2002 was $1.42 per share on a weighted average basis. Had compensation cost for the stock based employee compensation been recorded, based upon the fair value of stock options, additional compensation expense for the year ended December 31, 2002 would have been $596,580 (2003: $nil).  As the company continues to follow APB 25 for stock options to employees SFAS 123 requires the following pro forma disclosure assuming this additional compensation expense:

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


December 31, 2003 and 2002


NOTE 5 – COMMON STOCK (Continued)


Stock option plan (continued)


The fair value of the options granted was estimated at the date of granting using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following assumptions:  risk free interest rate of 4.0%, dividend yield of 0%, volatility factor of 52%, and a weighted average life of 4.7 years.

 

The Black-Scholes valuation model was developed for use in estimating the fair value of traded options, which are fully transferable and freely traded.  In addition, option valuation models require the input of highly subjective assumptions including the expected stock price volatility.  Because the Company’s stock options have characteristics significantly different from those of traded options, and because changes in the subjective input assumptions can materially affect the fair value estimate, in management’s opinion, the existing models do not necessarily provide a reliable single measure of the fair value of its employee stock options.


Pro forma results of operations under SFAS 123 may be materially different than actual results realized.  



NOTE 6 – ACCUMULATED OTHER COMPREHENSIVE INCOME (LOSS)


Accumulated other comprehensive losses represent the Company’s unrealized losses in the shares of North American Natural Gas, Inc. (formerly FAR Group, Inc.), a development stage company, as follows:
