PRELIMINARY PROSPECTUS                                     SUBJECT TO COMPLETION DATED AUGUST 5, 2004

 

HOST AMERCIA CORPORATION

1,150,000 Warrants
1,150,000 Shares Common Stock

            This prospectus relates to the future issuance of approximately 1,150,000 shares of common stock upon the exercise of redeemable common stock purchase warrants that have not yet been exercised and were originally offered and sold in the public offering of Host America Corporation in July 1998.

            Each warrant is exercisable for one share of common stock at a price of $5.50 per share.  We will receive up to $6,325,000 if all warrants are exercised; however, there can be no assurance that any of the warrants will be exercised.

            Holders of the warrants may exercise the warrants any time between the effective date of our post-effective amendment to our Form SB-2 registration statement and July 21, 2005, referred to herein as the “exercise period,” in accordance with the procedures set forth in this prospectus.  We may call for the redemption of warrants at $0.25 under certain circumstances including the closing bid price of our common stock exceeding $10.00 for a thirty-day period.  We are required to give a 30-day written notice to holders of warrants of our intent to redeem.

            We may use selected brokers and/or dealers to solicit the exercise of warrants on our behalf.  If we do, we may pay such brokers and dealers a warrant solicitation fee of up to 3% of the gross proceeds received from the exercise of warrants originated by or from the broker or dealer.

            Our common stock trades on the Nasdaq SmallCap MarketSM under the trading symbol “CAFE” and our warrants trade under the symbol “CAFEW.”  On August 3, 2004, the closing price of our common stock on the Nasdaq SmallCap MarketSM was $5.00 per share.

SUMMARY

       This summary highlights information contained elsewhere in this prospectus.  This summary is not complete and does not contain all the information you should consider before investing in our common stock.  You should read the entire prospectus carefully, including the “Risk Factors” section and our financial statements before making an investment decision to exercise your warrants.

Overview

       Host America Corporation currently consists of four principal operating divisions:  Host Business Dining, Lindley Food Service Corporation, SelectForce, Inc. and GlobalNet Energy Investors, Inc.  Lindley Food Service, SelectForce and GlobalNet conduct their operations through entities which are wholly-owned subsidiaries of Host.  Host Business Diningis a contract food management organization that specializes in providing full service corporate dining, and such ancillary services as special event catering and office coffee products to business and industry accounts located in Connecticut, New York, New Hampshire, New Jersey, Rhode Island and Texas.  Our Lindley Food Service subsidiary provides fresh, unitized meals for governmental programs, such as senior nutrition programs, Head Start programs, school breakfast and summer school programs, primarily under fixed-price contracts in Connecticut, Florida, Indiana, Massachusetts and Rhode Island.  Our SelectForce subsidiary is a regional employment and drug screening company offering criminal histories, motor vehicle reports, workers compensation records, verification of education and social security numbers, credit reports and previous employment verification.  SelectForce is able to provide its services to clients throughout the United States and currently has clients in Arkansas, Colorado, Connecticut, Kansas, Missouri, New Mexico, Oklahoma and Texas.  Effective December 23, 2003, Host acquired GlobalNet as its third wholly-owned subsidiary.  GlobalNet markets, sells and installs control panels and other electrical energy saving devices for commercial and industrial users.  GlobalNet is in the process of establishing a multi-channel marketing and sales platform in addition to direct sales by its executive officers and sub-distributors, to bring its energy savings product to the market.

       Host’s principal executive offices are located at Two Broadway, Hamden, Connecticut  06518 and our telephone number is (203) 248-4100.  Our world wide web site is www.hostamericacorp.com.  Any reference contained in this prospectus to our web site, or to any other web site, shall not be deemed to incorporate information from those sites into this prospectus.

History

       We were formed as a Delaware corporation on February 6, 1986 under the name University Dining Services, Inc.  Our initial business strategy was to provide food service to colleges and preparatory schools in the New England area.  After several years, we determined it was more

-1-


profitable to concentrate on larger, more densely populated customer bases.  Accordingly, in 1992, we became a full service food management company providing employee dining and special events catering to large office complexes.  On April 30, 1999, we filed Articles of Merger with the State of Colorado to change our corporate domicile, merging Host Delaware into Host Colorado and Host Delaware ceased to exist as of that date.  We changed our corporate domicile to reduce the amount of franchise tax required in the State of Delaware.

       On July 31, 2000, we purchased all of the issued and outstanding shares of Lindley Food Service Corporation of Bridgeport, Connecticut for approximately $6,116,000.  We paid approximately $3.7 million in cash and issued 198,122 shares of our common stock. Lindley is engaged in the preparation and sale of fresh and frozen unitized meals for senior food programs, school lunches, and various governmental programs, under fixed-price contracts.  Unitized meals allow our clients to contain costs and ensure high quality nutritional standards.

       On March 28, 2002, we acquired all of the outstanding shares of SelectForce, Inc. pursuant to a merger agreement dated October 26, 2001, as modified by an amendment agreement dated December 19, 2001.  In consideration for the acquisition of SelectForce, we issued a total of 700,000 shares of our common stock to the SelectForce shareholders.  This transaction was approved by our shareholders at our annual meeting which was held on March 28, 2002, and SelectForce now operates as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Host.

       On December 23, 2003, we acquired GlobalNet Energy Investors, Inc. pursuant to the terms and conditions of the amended and restated merger agreement dated December 2, 2003.  The shareholders of GlobalNet received in the aggregate, 550,000 shares of Host’s common stock in exchange for all of their outstanding GlobalNet common stock.  As part of the acquisition, we agreed to allocate, on an as received basis, 80% of the net proceeds from the exercise of the 1,150,000 warrants for marketing and sales of GlobalNet’s energy management products, to which this registration statement relates, exercisable at $5.50 per warrant, that are currently publicly traded under the NASDQ Symbol CAFEW.  GlobalNet is a development stage corporation formed for the purpose of marketing, selling, installing and maintaining energy saving products and technology pursuant to an agreement with an affiliated company, EnergyNSync, Inc.  GlobalNet’s initial product consists of a computerized controller, capable of reducing energy consumption and demand fluctuations of inductive loads on a majority of commercial and industrial lighting systems.  Management believes GlobalNet’s products provide large and small businesses significant savings in their overall electrical energy use.  To date, GlobalNet’s activities have been limited to product development, including UL certification, test applications and forming a marketing and distribution plan through its relationship with EnergyNSync.  GlobalNet has limited assets and has been primarily funded by proceeds from related parties’ notes and advances.  GlobalNet intends to market its products through a combination of direct sales by its executive officers, sub-distribution agreements and internal sales staff.

Recent Developments

       Commencing on June 23, 2004, with a final closing on June 25, 2004, we privately placed with Laurus Master Funds, Ltd (i) a Secured Convertible Term Note A in the aggregate principal amount of $4,000,000 which note is convertible into 795,260 shares of our common stock at a fixed conversion price of $5.03 per share, and (ii) a Secured Convertible Term Note B in the aggregate principal amount of $4,000,000 which note is convertible into 730,194 shares of our common stock at a fixed conversion price of $5.48 per share.  The $4,000,000 in proceeds received by us from the placement of Note A are immediately available for use.  However, the terms of Note B require that the $4,000,000 in proceeds received from the placement of Note B be placed in a “restricted bank account” under the sole domain and control of Laurus to be released to us in certain specified amounts only upon presentation to and approval by Laurus of bona fide customer contracts obligating the customer to acquire certain energy savings products, including circuit board units and control boxes, from us or any of our subsidiaries.  In addition, we may request Laurus from time to time to direct the bank to release all or a portion of the amounts contained in the restricted account following or in connection with a corporate acquisition by us or upon conversion of Note B by Laurus into our common stock.

       Note A bears interest at prime plus 1%, which rate is subject to reduction features based on performance. Note B bears interest at 1% until such time as it becomes no longer subject to the restricted account then interest is calculated on the same terms as Note A. Both notes are for a term of three years.

       We also issued to Laurus a common stock purchase warrant for 450,000 shares of our common stock exercisable for a 10 year period at conversion prices as follows:  300,000 shares at $5.98 and 150,000 shares at $6.23.  The warrant is subject to certain adjustment provisions in the event we shall (a) effect a corporate reorganization or merger; or (b) consolidate with or merge into any other entity or transfer all or substantially all of its assets or properties under a plan contemplating our dissolution.

       The notes are secured by a first lien on all of our assets and our operating subsidiaries as well as a guarantee by our subsidiaries in favor of Laurus.  In connection with the transaction, we paid fees of 10% of the total gross proceeds.

RISK FACTORS

       An investment in the common stock being offered may have risks.  The risks described below are the material risks associated with our business and this offering.  Other information, including our consolidated financial statements and the related notes, detail other risks affecting our business.  If any of the following risks actually occur, our business, financial condition or results of operations could be materially adversely affected.

Risks Related to Host Generally

Any acquisitions that we undertake could be difficult to integrate and could disrupt our business, dilute shareholder value and adversely affect our operations.

       A component of Host’s strategy is to pursue acquisitions of other businesses.  There can be no assurance, however, that Host will be able to identify, negotiate and consummate acquisitions or that acquired businesses can be operated profitably or integrated successfully into Host’s food service operations.  In addition, acquisitions by Host are subject to various risks generally associated with the acquisition of businesses, including the financial impact of expenses associated with the integration of acquired businesses.  There can be no assurance that Host’s historic or future acquisitions will not have an adverse impact on Host’s business, financial condition or results of operations.  If suitable opportunities arise, Host anticipates that it would finance future acquisitions through available cash, bank lines of credit or through additional debt or equity financing.  There can be no assurance that such debt or equity financing would be available to Host on acceptable terms when, and if, suitable strategic opportunities arise.  If Host were to consummate one or more significant acquisitions in which part or all of the consideration consisted of equity, shareholders of Host could suffer a significant dilution of their interests in Host.

Government regulations could adversely affect our business.

       Host’s business is subject to various governmental regulations incidental to its operations, such as environmental, employment, and safety regulations.  In addition, Host is subject to state health department regulations and yearly inspections.  Food service operations at the various locations are subject to sanitation and safety standards, and state and local licensing of the sale of food products.  Cost of compliance with these various regulations is not material.  However, there can be no assurance that additional federal and state legislation or changes in the regulatory environment will not limit the activities of Host in the future or increase the cost of regulatory compliance.

Effective control by current officers and directors and significant sales of shares by officers and directors could have a negative impact on share price.

       As of June 30, 2004, Host’s current officers, directors and their affiliates beneficially owned approximately 41.83% of the total voting stock outstanding, including options for common stock such individuals may have the right to exercise.  Host’s articles of incorporation do not authorize

-5-


cumulative voting in the election of directors and as a result, Host’s officers and directors currently are, and in the foreseeable future will continue to be, in a position to have a significant impact on the outcome of substantially all matters on which shareholders are entitled to vote, including the election of directors.  In addition, based on the large number of shares currently owned by management, any sales of significant amounts of shares by Host’s officers and directors, or the prospect of such sales, could adversely affect the market price of Host’s common stock.  These individuals, if and when they sell their shares, are subject to the volume limitations imposed by Rule 144 with respect to sales by affiliates.

We do not anticipate payment of dividends and shareholders are wholly dependent upon the market for the common stock to realize economic benefit.

       Host has paid no cash dividends on its common stock and has no present intention of paying cash dividends in the foreseeable future.  It is the present policy of the board of directors to retain all earnings to provide for the growth of Host.  Payment of cash dividends in the future will depend, among other things, upon Host’s future earnings, requirements for capital improvements, the operating and financial conditions of Host and other factors deemed relevant by the board of directors.

Historically our stock price has been volatile, which may make it more difficult to resell shares at prices that are attractive.

       The trading price of Host’s common stock and warrants has been and may continue to be subject to wide fluctuations.  Host’s stock price may fluctuate in response to a number of events and factors, such as quarterly variations in operating results, announcements of management innovations or new customer accounts and acquisitions by Host or its competitors, changes to financial estimates and recommendations by securities analysts, the operating and stock price performance of other companies that investors may deem comparable, and news reports relating to trends in Host’s markets.  In addition, the stock market in general, and the market prices for related companies in particular, have experienced volatility that often has been unrelated to the operating performance of such companies. These broad market and industry fluctuations may adversely affect the price of Host’s stock, regardless of its operating performance.

The warrants offered hereby are not exercisable unless, at the time of exercise, Host has a current prospectus covering the shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of the warrants and such shares have been registered, qualified or deemed to be exempt under the securities laws of the states of residence of the exercising holders of the warrants.

       Although Host will use its best efforts to have all of the shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of the warrants registered or qualified on or before the exercise date and to maintain a current prospectus relating thereto until the expiration of the warrants, there is no assurance that it will be able to do so.

-6-


       Although the warrants were not knowingly sold to purchasers in jurisdictions in which the securities were not registered or otherwise qualified for sale, purchasers may have bought warrants in the after-market or may have moved to jurisdictions in which the shares underlying the warrants are not so registered or qualified during the period that the warrants are exercisable. In this event, Host may be unable to issue shares of common stock to those persons desiring to exercise their warrants (whether in response to a redemption notice or otherwise), unless and until the shares may be qualified for sale in the jurisdictions in which such purchasers reside, or exemptions exist in such jurisdictions from such qualification.  Warrant holders may have no choice but to attempt to sell the warrants or allow them to expire unexercised.

Risks Relating to Host’s and Lindley’s Food Service Operations

Host’s success depends on its ability to retain and renew existing client contracts.

       Host’s success depends on its ability to retain and renew existing client contracts and to obtain and successfully negotiate new client contracts.  Certain of Host Business Dining’s corporate dining contracts representing approximately 20% of Host’s annual sales are from two major customers.  There can be no assurance that Host will be able to retain and renew existing client contracts or obtain new contracts or that such contracts will be profitable.  Host’s failure to retain and renew existing contracts or obtain new contracts could have a material adverse effect on Host’s business, financial condition and results of operations.

Host may not be reimbursed for investment in a client’s facility.

       Host is sometimes required to make capital improvements to a client’s facility at the start of a contract to secure an account.  Historically, Host has funded these expenditures from cashflow and short-term borrowings.  To the extent Host is unable to be reimbursed for a part of these costs or enter into long-term contracts or is unable to retain existing clients, Host could experience short-term cashflow problems or be required to seek additional outside financing.  Additional financing may not be available on favorable terms or at all.

Host may lose customers if building owners fail to retain tenants.

       Some of Host Business Dining’s customers consist of tenants in large office complexes and buildings in the northeastern United States.  Accordingly, Host is dependent on the building owners to attract and retain quality tenants by offering competitive rental rates, favorable locations and adequate maintenance services.  To the extent these entities fail to provide a favorable rental atmosphere and retain existing tenants, Host may lose customers, revenues, and potentially a food service contract irrespective of the quality of its food service facility.  If Host were to lose customers due to building vacancies, it could have an adverse material effect on Host’s operations and financial condition.

-7-


Fluctuating food prices and shortages may affect the quality and variety of food Host is able to offer at a given location.

       Host is subject to fluctuating food prices and availability of certain food items which varies by location.  Although Host’s contracts with its clients allow for certain adjustments due to rising prices over a specified period of time, often times Host must take a reduced margin to insure the availability of certain required food groups and avoid customer dissatisfaction.  Although most shortages last only a short period of time, shortages in certain items may adversely affect the quality and variety of food offered at a given location.  Host attempts to anticipate shortages by centralized buying for its various locations, by placing large orders with reliable suppliers and following trends in product availability and price.

Lindley’s fixed-price contracts subject us to market risks and uncertainties.

       Approximately 95% of Lindley’s food service contracts are fixed-price contacts, meaning that the contract price is fixed for the term of the contract, which generally ranges from 1 to 5 years depending on the customer.  While the contracts usually provide for marginal cost of living increases and are cancelable by either party upon proper notice, any unforeseen rise in food prices or labor and related costs will reduce our profit margins and have an adverse effect on our results of operations.  Prior to bidding on a fixed-price contract, we attempt to factor in variables including rising food costs and labor and related expenses over the term of the contract however, it is difficult to predict what these costs will be, especially for contract terms that range from 1 to 5 years.  Any shortfalls resulting from the risks associated with fixed-price contracts will reduce our working capital.

Host depends upon its key personnel and may experience difficulty attracting and retaining key employees.

       Host’s future success depends to a significant extent on the efforts and abilities of its executive officers, Geoffrey W. Ramsey and David J. Murphy and the services of Lindley’s executive officers, Gilbert Rossomando and Mark Cerreta.  Although Host has employment agreements with these individuals, the loss of the services of these individuals could have a material adverse effect on Host’s business, financial condition and results of operations. Host believes that its future success also will depend significantly upon its ability to attract, motivate and retain additional highly skilled managerial personnel.  Competition for such personnel is intense, and there can be no assurance that Host will be successful in attracting, assimilating and retaining the personnel it requires to grow and operate profitability.  Host obtained a $1,000,000 key man life insurance policy on Messrs. Ramsey, Murphy, Rossomando and Cerreta of which Host is the beneficiary.

Host may be unable to hire and train a sufficient number of qualified workers to satisfy customer requirements.

       From time to time, Host must hire and train a number of qualified food service managers and temporary workers to provide food service at a new corporate location or scheduled events at

-8-


other locations.  Host may encounter difficulty in hiring sufficient numbers of qualified individuals to staff these events, which could have a material adverse effect on its business, financial condition and results of operations.

Host may fail to compete effectively in its market.

       Host encounters significant competition in each area of the contract food service market in which it operates.  Certain of Host’s competitors compete with Host on both a national and local basis and have significantly greater financial and other resources than Host.  Competition may result in price reductions, decreased gross margins and loss of market share.  In addition, existing or potential clients may elect to “self operate” their food service, thereby eliminating the opportunity for Host to compete for the account.  There can be no assurance that Host will be able to compete successfully in the future or that competition will not have a material adverse effect on Host’s business, financial condition or results of operations.

Risks Relating to SelectForce’s Pre-Employment Screening Operations

SelectForce does not have any long-term agreements with its clients and its future success is dependent on repeat business and obtaining new clients.

       SelectForce’s success depends on attracting and retaining clients.  Although SelectForce has client agreements, it does not have contracts, and as such depends on fluctuating demand for its services.  There can be no assurance that SelectForce will be able to retain existing clients or attract new clients.  SelectForce’s failure to retain existing clients or attract new clients could have a material adverse effect on SelectForce’s future profitability.

SelectForce is dependent on its access to government records, which could be limited or prevented by various government regulations.

       SelectForce obtains much of the background information requested by its clients from public databases at the federal, state and local level.  Access and use of this information is subject to various rules, laws and guidelines.  Any significant changes in these rules, laws or guidelines could have a material adverse effect on SelectForce’s operations and limit its ability to conduct its operations.

SelectForce competes with numerous companies, including its potential clients, many of which have greater financial and other resources than those of SelectForce.

       SelectForce encounters significant competition in each area of the pre-employment screening market in which it operates.  Many of SelectForce’s competitors have significantly greater financial and other resources than SelectForce.  Competition may result in price reductions, decreased gross margins and loss of market share.  In addition, existing or potential clients may elect to perform their own background investigations, thereby eliminating SelectForce’s opportunity to provide its services. In addition, technological advances including database management and the internet, may result in significant changes to how SelectForce performs and

-9-


delivers its services, and could result in increased competition and/or decreased demand for its services.  Furthermore, SelectForce’s ability to compete could be adversely impacted if it is unable to pass price increases on to customers or if its information costs increase.  There can be no assurance that SelectForce will be able to compete successfully in the future, or that technological changes and competition will not have a material adverse effect on SelectForce’s business.

SelectForce depends upon its key personnel and may experience difficulty if it fails to retain such personnel.

       SelectForce’s future success depends to a significant extent on the efforts and abilities of its President, Tammi Didlot.  Although SelectForce has an employment agreement with Ms. Didlot, the loss of the services of Ms. Didlot could have a material adverse effect on SelectForce’s business, financial condition and results of operations.

Risks Relating to GlobalNet’s Operations

GlobalNet has a limited operating history upon which to evaluate its potential for future success.

       GlobalNet was formed on May 16, 2002.  To date, GlobalNet has generated only limited revenues from the sale of its products and does not expect to generate significant revenues until it can sell a significantly larger number of its products.  Accordingly, GlobalNet has only a limited operating history to use as a basis to evaluate its business and prospects.  The likelihood of its success must be considered in light of the risks and uncertainties frequently encountered by development stage companies in an evolving market.  If GlobalNet is unsuccessful in addressing these risks and uncertainties, its business will be materially harmed.

GlobalNet has incurred significant operating losses since inception and may not achieve or sustain profitability in the future.

       GlobalNet has incurred substantial net losses since it commenced operations in May 2002.  GlobalNet must overcome significant sales and marketing challenges to sell large quantities of its products.  In addition, GlobalNet may be required to reduce the prices of its products in order to increase sales.  If GlobalNet reduces product prices, GlobalNet may not be able to decrease product costs sufficiently to achieve acceptable profit margins and remain in compliance with the terms of its license/distribution agreement with EnergyNSync, Inc.  As GlobalNet strives to grow its business, GlobalNet expects to spend significant funds (1) for general corporate purposes, including working capital, marketing, recruiting and hiring additional personnel; and (2) for research and development of new products. To the extent that its revenues do not increase as quickly as these costs and expenditures, its results of operations and liquidity could be materially adversely affected.  If GlobalNet experiences slower than anticipated revenue growth or if its operating expenses exceed its expectations, GlobalNet may not achieve profitability.  Even if GlobalNet achieves profitability in the future, GlobalNet may not be able to sustain it.

-10-


GlobalNet has a license/distribution agreement with respect to the EnergyNSync products and its ability to sell its products may be adversely impacted if the agreement expires or is terminated.

       GlobalNet has entered into a license/distribution agreement with EnergyNSync, an affiliated entity. Pursuant to the terms of the agreement, GlobalNet has been granted the exclusive United States rights to sell EnergyNSync products for an indefinite period, contingent on GlobalNet achieving minimum dollar volume purchase requirements.  However, the exclusive rights that GlobalNet received may not have any value in the United States where EnergyNSync does not have or does not obtain protectable rights.  In addition, the license/distribution agreement may be terminated if GlobalNet fails to satisfy its dollar volume purchase requirements.  If this agreement is terminated, it could impact its ability to sell products in the United States.

A decrease in electric retail rates could lessen demand for our EnergyNSync products.

       The EnergyNSync products have the greatest profit potential in areas where commercial electric rates are relatively high.  However, retail electric rates for commercial establishments in the United States may not remain at their current high levels.  Due to a potential overbuilding of power generating stations throughout certain regions of the United States, wholesale power prices may decrease in the future.  Because the price of commercial retail electric power is largely attributed to the wholesale cost of power, it is reasonable to expect that commercial retail rates may decrease as well.  In addition, much of the wholesale costs of power are directly related to the price of certain fuels, such as natural gas, oil and coal.  If the prices of those fuels decrease, the prices of the wholesale cost of power may also decrease.  This could result in lower electric retail rates and reduced demand for energy saving devices such as the EnergyNSync products.

If GlobalNet is not able to protect its intellectual property rights against infringement or others obtain intellectual property rights relating to similar energy management technology, GlobalNet could lose its competitive advantage in the energy management market.

       GlobalNet regards intellectual property rights, such as licenses, trademarks, copyrights and trade secrets, as important to its success.  Although GlobalNet will enter into confidentiality agreements with its employees and consultants, the steps GlobalNet has or will take to protect its intellectual property rights, if any, may not be adequate.  Third parties may infringe or misappropriate claimed intellectual property rights or GlobalNet may not be able to detect unauthorized use and take appropriate steps to enforce its rights.  Failure to take appropriate protective steps could materially adversely affect its competitive advantage in the energy management market.  Furthermore, its agreement to use the EnergyNSync products may have little or no value if EnergyNSync’s intellectual property is not valid.  In addition, patents held by third parties, if any, may limit its ability to sell or otherwise commercialize products and could result in the assertion of claims of patent infringement.  If that were to happen, GlobalNet could try to modify its products to be non-infringing, but GlobalNet might not be successful or such modifications might not avoid infringing on the intellectual property rights of third parties.

       Claims of patent infringement against GlobalNet, regardless of merit, could result in the expenditure of significant financial and managerial resources.  GlobalNet may be forced to seek

-11-


to enter into new distribution agreements with third parties (other than EnergyNSync) to resolve claims of infringement by its products of the intellectual property rights of third parties.  These agreements may not be available on acceptable terms or at all.  The failure to obtain such licenses on acceptable terms could have a negative effect on its business.

The loss of key personnel may harm GlobalNet’s ability to obtain and retain customers, manage its rapid growth and compete effectively.

       GlobalNet’s future success will depend significantly upon the continued contributions of certain members of its senior management, who are critical to obtaining and retaining customers, managing GlobalNet’s growth and the future development of its concept.  GlobalNet’s future success will also depend upon its ability to attract and retain highly qualified technical, operating and marketing personnel.  GlobalNet believes that there is intense competition for qualified personnel in the energy management industry.  If GlobalNet cannot hire, train and retain qualified personnel or if a significant number of its current employees depart, GlobalNet may be unable to successfully market its product.

If its EnergyNSync products do not achieve or sustain market acceptance, GlobalNet’s ability to compete will be adversely affected.

       To date, GlobalNet has not sold its products in very large quantities and it is possible a sufficient market may not develop.  Significant marketing will be required in order to establish a sufficient market for the EnergyNSync products.  The technology underlying these products may not become a preferred technology to address the energy management needs of GlobalNet’s customers and potential customers.  Failure to successfully develop and market products on a timely and cost-effective basis could have a material adverse effect on GlobalNet’s ability to compete in the energy management market.

Failure to meet customers’ expectations or deliver expected technical performance could result in losses and negative publicity.

       Customer contracts will involve the installation of energy management equipment that GlobalNet sells and installs to help its clients reduce energy/power consumption.  GlobalNet relies on outside contractors to assist in the installation of its products.  Any defects in this equipment and/or its installation or any other failure to meet customers’ expectations could result in:

       

•       

delayed or lost revenues due to adverse customer reaction;

       

       

       

       

•       

requirements to provide additional products and/or services to a customer at no charge;

       

       

       

       

•       

negative publicity regarding GlobalNet and its products, which could adversely affect our ability to attract or retain customers; and

      

      

      

-12-


       

       

       

       

•       

claims for substantial damage against GlobalNet, regardless of its responsibility for such failure.

If sufficient additional funding is not available to GlobalNet, the commercialization of GlobalNet’s products and its ability to grow may be hindered.

       GlobalNet’s operations have not generated positive cash flow since its inception in 2002.  GlobalNet has primarily funded its operations through proceeds from related parties’ notes and advances.  GlobalNet’s ability to continue to operate until cash flow turns positive may depend on Host’s ability to continue to raise funds through debt or equity financing.  If Host is not successful in raising additional funds, GlobalNet might have to significantly scale back or delay its growth plans, or possibly cease operations altogether.  Any reduction or delay in GlobalNet’s growth plans could have a material adverse affect on its ability to compete in the marketplace, take advantage of business opportunities and develop or enhance its products.

Failure to effectively market GlobalNet’s energy management products could impair its ability to sell large quantities of these products.

       One of the challenges GlobalNet faces in commercializing its energy management products is demonstrating the advantages of its products over more traditional products and competitive products.  As GlobalNet grows, GlobalNet will need to further develop its marketing and sales force.  In addition to its internal sales force, GlobalNet relies on third parties to market and sell its products.  GlobalNet currently maintains a number of relationships with third parties regarding the marketing and distribution of its EnergyNSync products and is dependent upon the efforts of these third parties in marketing and selling these products.  Maintenance of these relationships is based primarily on an ongoing mutual business opportunity and a good overall working relationship.  The current contracts associated with certain of these relationships allow the distributors to terminate the relationship upon 30 days written notice.  Without these relationships, its ability to market and sell the EnergyNSync products could be harmed and GlobalNet may need to divert even more resources to increasing its internal sales force.  If GlobalNet is unable to expand its internal sales force and maintain its third party marketing relationships, its ability to generate significant revenues could be seriously harmed.

CAUTIONARY NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

       This prospectus and our filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission incorporated by reference in this prospectus include forward-looking statements.  All statements, other than statements of historical facts, included in this prospectus and our filings with the SEC incorporated by reference in this prospectus regarding our strategy, future operations, financial position, future revenues, projected costs, prospects, plans and objectives of management are forward-looking statements.  The words “anticipates,” “believes,” “estimates,” “expects,” “intends,” “may,” “plans,” “projects,” “will,” “would,” and similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements, although not all forward-looking statements contain these identifying words.  We cannot guarantee that we actually will achieve the plans, intentions or

-13-


expectations disclosed in our forward-looking statements and you should not place undue reliance on our forward-looking statements.  Actual results or events could differ materially from the plans, intentions and expectations disclosed in the forward-looking statements we make.  We have included important factors in the cautionary statements included or incorporated in this prospectus, particularly under the heading “Risk Factors” beginning on page 4 that we believe could cause actual results or events to differ materially from the forward-looking statements we make.  Our forward-looking statements do not reflect the potential impact of any future acquisitions, mergers, dispositions, joint ventures or investments we may make.

HOW WE INTEND TO USE PROCEEDS

       If all the warrants are exercised, we will receive a maximum of $6,325,000.  We can give no assurance, however, that any or all of the warrants will be exercised, and therefore, we cannot predict the amount which we may receive from the warrant exercise.  We anticipate we will utilize the proceeds that are received substantially to fund GlobalNet’s sales and marketing efforts including establishing a functional, interactive website, hiring additional sales personnel, repaying loans to shareholders, purchasing inventory and working capital needs including officers’ salaries.  The balance of proceeds will be used for the sales and marketing and working capital needs of our other business divisions.  We estimate the proceeds will be allocated as follows:

       

•       

Fund GlobalNet’s sales and marketing activities (80%),

       

       

       

       

•       

Expand sales and marketing activities of Host’s other business divisions (5%),

       

       

       

       

•       

Expand our corporate dining client base (5%), and

       

       

       

       

•       

Working capital (10%).

       

       

       

       Depending on the amount of proceeds received from the warrant exercise, we could also use a portion of the proceeds currently intended for general working capital purposes to acquire or invest in businesses, products or services, although no specific acquisitions are planned or have been identified, and no portion of the proceeds has been allocated for any acquisition.

       Our management will have some discretion in the application of the net proceeds.  Pending such uses, we intend to invest the proceeds from the warrant exercise in short-term, interest-bearing, investment-grade securities.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

       The following review should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto.

Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward Looking Information

       This prospectus contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, including statements regarding, among other items, our growth strategies, anticipated trends in our business and our future results of operations, market conditions in our industry segments, our ability to make and integrate acquisitions and the impact of government regulation. These forward-looking statements are based largely on our expectations and are subject to a number of risks and uncertainties, many of which are beyond our control.  Actual results could differ materially from these forward-looking statements as a result of, among other things:  our ability to retain and renew customer contracts; our need to finance clients’ equipment and initial start-up costs; our dependence on building owners’ ability to retain clients; fluctuations in food costs; uncertainties in the competitive bidding process; our dependence on key personnel; intense competition in the industry segments in which we operate on a local and national level; and the integration and success of our newly acquired GlobalNet subsidiary and GlobalNet’s ability to satisfy the terms of its license/distribution agreement with EnergyNSync.

       In addition, the words “believe,” “may,” “will,” “estimate,” “continue,” “anticipate,” “intend,” “expect,” and similar expressions, as they relate to Host, our business or our management, are intended to identify forward-looking statements.

       We undertake no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise after the date of this prospectus.  In light of these risks and uncertainties, the forward-looking events and circumstances discussed in this prospectus may not occur and actual results could differ materially from those anticipated or implied in the forward-looking statements.

Executive Summary

       Host is an outsource provider of food service management, energy management conservation and pre-employment background screening.  Host integrates the services of its four operating divisions: Host America Business Dining, Lindley Food Service Corporation, GlobalNet Energy Investors, Inc and SelectForce, Inc.  The profile of each division shares similarities in that each is strong in entrepreneurial management, each can operate with the same client base and each company’s products and services can function synergistically with one another.

       In 2000, Host started building an organization that provided solutions to the needs of large businesses and institutions well into the 21st century.  The four Host operating divisions either have locations or clients in the following states:  Arkansas, Colorado, Connecticut, Florida,

-17-


Indiana, Kansas, Massachusetts, Missouri, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New Mexico, New York, Oklahoma, Rhode Island and Texas.

       Host utilizes sophisticated technologies in its management services and energy conservation software products and systems. These products and systems enable us to design solutions to problems and develop cost reduction answers for building owners and managers.  Host employs a professional sales and marketing force that services both national and individual accounts and is headed up by a management team that has many years experience in food service, energy conservation management and prescreening services.

Host Results of Operations

Nine months ended March 31, 2004 (“2004 period”) vs. nine months ended March 31, 2003 (“2003 period”)

       Net revenues for the nine months ended March 31, 2004 were $19,953,999 as compared to $18,887,280 for the nine months ended March 31, 2003.  Accordingly, revenues increased $1,066,719 or approximately 6%. The improvement in revenues was primarily attributable to an increase in the Host business dining revenues of $705,726.  The business dining improvement was attributable to the opening of several business dining units during the previous two quarters and an increase in client catering.  SelectForce had sales of $1,381,122 in the 2004 period as compared to $1,301,338 in 2003, an increase of $79,784.  The small increase is mainly attributable to the addition of new clients and an increase in demand from its existing accounts due to the improving economy.  Lindley had a revenue increase of $235,578, primarily due to the Florida and Massachusetts locations which it only operated for a short time during the comparable 2003 period.  The increase in Lindley revenue generated by these locations was mostly offset by the loss of several accounts in Connecticut and the closing of its shelf stable meal operation in Texas in December 2002.  Lindley decided to close the Texas location due to its low margins and operating losses.  The majority of Lindley’s work is done on a contract basis with terms ranging from one to five years—the summer food programs are as short as eight weeks.  Most contracts are secured through a competitive bidding process.  Price alone is not the only determining factor for the awarding of these contracts—food quality, service and other factors may also enter into the decision making process.  Lindley was the successful bidder on the Florida contract and was approached by the Massachusetts agency after the incumbent food service provider had given notice that it no longer wanted the business.  Lindley successfully negotiated with the Massachusetts agency and was awarded the contract on an emergency basis for one year and has since received a six month extension.  Lindley will need to go through the bidding process again as this contract is up for renewal in October.  The business Lindley lost in Connecticut was due to the fact that it was unsuccessful in the competitive bidding process for the renewal of these contracts.  Due to the fact that most of Lindley’s business is awarded as a result of this competitive bidding process, Lindley cannot predict if it will be successful in securing new contracts or renewing existing ones.  GlobalNet generated $45,631 in revenue during the 2004 period.  We expect to increase our revenues for the balance of fiscal 2004 and beyond through the addition of more corporate dining accounts, aggressive marketing of its

-18-


elderly feeding and employment screening services, the promotion of its shelf stable meal business and the anticipated growth of GlobalNet.

       Total operating costs and expenses were $23,629,747 for the 2004 period as compared to $19,027,924 for the 2003 period, an increase of $4,601,822 or approximately 24%.  Food, paper, labor and related benefits, and contracted services increased by $1,179,510 in the 2004 period.  The business dining operation had an increase in food, labor and related benefits of $626,217, which was primarily due to its increase in revenues.  Lindley’s food, labor and related benefits increased by $257,275 primarily due to the new locations in Florida and Massachusetts which were mostly offset by the closing of the shelf stable meals operation in Texas and the decrease in Connecticut business.  SelectForce had an increase of $57,865 in labor and related benefits and contracted services in the 2004 period.  Contracted services totaling $910,004 represent costs incurred with SelectForce’s data screening providers.  The balance of the increase was attributable to GlobalNet which incurred $238,153 in labor and related benefits costs.  Other expenses consist primarily of legal, accounting and other professional fees, liability insurance, equipment and facility rental, repairs, maintenance, utilities, commissions and various other costs.  Other expenses were $2,347,781 in the 2004 period as compared to $1,941,481 during 2003, an increase of $406,300 or approximately 21%.  The large increase is attributable to the GlobalNet acquisition, the increase in Host’s revenues and corresponding addition of new unit locations and the applicable associated costs and the additional expenses of the Lindley operations in Florida and Massachusetts.  These cost increases were partly offset by the closing of the Texas location.  The 2004 period incurred $23,145 in bank and related fees as compared to $282,094 in the 2003 period, or a decrease of $258,949.  In addition, there were no goodwill impairment charges in the 2004 period as compared to $121,000 taken in the same period for 2003.

       Interest expense increased by $90,685 for the nine months ended March 31, 2004 when compared to the 2003 period.  The increase in interest expense is a result of the accrual of $153,721 of interest on the subordinated debt and the accretion of $73,367 of original issue discount on the warrants attached to the debt. These charges were partially offset by lower interest costs on the bank debt due to the pay off of the term and demand notes on February 13, 2004 (see, Note F).

       Host incurred a net loss of $4,019,380, after provision for income taxes of $19,000 for the nine months ended March 31, 2004, as compared to a net loss of $365,509 for the nine months ended March 31, 2003.  There was an $8,000 provision for income taxes in the 2003 period.  The large net loss in the 2004 period was primarily a result of the GlobalNet acquisition which incurred a net loss of $3,904,505.  The GlobalNet net loss includes a charge for the expensing of acquisition costs of $3,431,381 (see, Note B).  The large net loss during the 2003 period was attributable to the impairment charge of $121,000 and the bank and related fees of $282,094.  We expect to increase our revenues and profitability through the addition of more corporate dining and senior nutrition programs, the continued expansion of its employment and drug screening business, improving cost efficiencies through economies of scale and the anticipated growth of its GlobalNet subsidiary.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

       To date, we have been dependent on equity and debt financing to fund its operations, product development, working capital and acquisition strategy.  We anticipate this trend to continue in the upcoming fiscal year.  Host’s liquidity as evidenced by its current ratio has increased.  The current ratio at March 31, 2004 and June 30, 2003 was 1.60:1 and 1.20:1, respectively.  This increase is primarily attributable to the net proceeds received of $2,525,450 from the private placement of 500,000 shares of its common stock, the $1,875,000 from the issuance of subordinated debt and the exercise of various options and non-publicly traded warrants.  In addition, we also received $386,940 in net proceeds from the issuance of the Series B preferred stock.

       Net cash flows for the nine-month period ended March 31, 2004 resulted in an increase in cash of $409,367, which was primarily attributable to the proceeds received from the issuance of the subordinated debt and preferred and common stock, net of equipment purchases, acquisition and patents costs, debt reduction and cash used in operating activities.  Operating activities resulted in a net cash outflow of $1,135,840.  This was primarily the result of the large net operating loss and an increase in our accounts and note receivable and investment in inventory. Net cash used in investing activities was $1,321,728 consisting primarily of equipment purchases, the GlobalNet acquisition costs, net of cash received and the purchase of the Fan Savers’ patents.  Host’s financing activities resulted in a net cash inflow of $2,866,935 as a result of the common and preferred stock and subordinated debt proceeds, net of principal payments on long-term debt.

       On February 13, 2004, we paid in full the balances due of $983,778 and $324,889 on its term and demand note obligations, respectively, plus accrued interest of $2,327.  We utilized substantially all of the net proceeds from the issuance of subordinated promissory notes to liquidate our debt obligations with the bank.  We are currently negotiating with banks and other financial institutions to secure additional financing and provide long-term liquidity; however, we cannot predict what the outcomeof our capital raising efforts will be.  If we are unsuccessful in its efforts to secure additional debt or equity financing, it could have a material adverse effect upon its ability to fund future acquisitions and operations.

       From November 1, 2002 through February 28, 2003, Host conducted a private placement offering of $1,500,000 or sixty units at $25,000 per unit.  Each unit consisted of one 12% unsecured promissory note in the amount of $25,000 due January 31, 2008 and 7,080 warrants to purchase Host’s common stock at an exercise price of $2.00, exercisable from December 31, 2003 until January 31, 2008.  Interest began to accrue on January 1, 2003 and is payable semi-annually on June 30 and December 31.  Host sold a total of 59 units and received $1,475,000 from the offering.  We applied $965,000 of these proceeds against its demand note payable obligation and paid $122,500 to the selling agent for commissions in connection with the 49 units that were sold by the selling agent.  A registered representative of the selling agent is a major shareholder of Host.  In connection with the $1,475,000 received in the offering, $434,000 has been credited to the warrants based on the fair value, resulting in a reduction in the carrying

value of the debt.  This original issue discount will be amortized into interest expense over the term of the debt.

       On August 5, 2003, the board of directors of Host authorized and approved the designation, issuance and sale of series B convertible preferred stock, a newly-created series of Host’s preferred stock. On August 11, 2003, Host privately offered and sold 266,667 shares of the series B stock to an individual investor for an aggregate purchase price of $400,000, or $1.50 per share. The series B stock has various preferences and conversion rights, including the right to receive a cumulative distribution at the rate of 8% per share per annum, payable semi-annually on or before the last day of Host’s fiscal quarters ending December 31 and June 30. Furthermore, the series B stock is convertible for a period of 5 years from the issue date into shares of Host’s common stock according to the conversion ratio set forth in the articles of amendment to the articles of incorporation of Host, which were filed with the Colorado Secretary of State on August 11, 2003.  The articles of amendment also set forth other preferences, conversion and other rights, voting powers, limitations as to distributions and qualifications of the series B stock. The difference between the purchase price and fair value of the common stock into which the preferred stock is convertible of $533,334 is analogous to a dividend and therefore has been reflected as an increase to the deficit during the nine months ended March 31, 2004.

       Host issued 77,750 shares of common stock for options exercised during the nine months ended March 31, 2004.  We received $167,152 in gross proceeds from these options, which were exercised at various prices ranging from $2.00 to $2.6875 per share.

       We issued 46,240 shares of common stock in connection with the exercise of non-publicly traded warrants during the nine months ended March 31, 2004.  We received $179,980 in gross proceeds from these warrants, which were exercised at $2.00 and $5.50 per share.

       On October 1, 2003 we commenced a private placement offering of 500,000 shares of our common stock at a purchase price of $5.00 per share.  The shares were offered and sold on a best efforts basis by officers and directors of Host and by a licensed NASD broker-dealer.  Host paid the selling agent a commission of 10% of the gross proceeds from the shares sold.  In addition, for every ten shares of common stock sold, the selling agent received one warrant to purchase one share of Host common stock at $5.50 per share, exercisable for a period of five years.  A registered representative of the selling agent is a major shareholder of Host.  Officers and directors of Host also offered and sold shares but no commissions or other remuneration were paid to these individuals.  We placed all 500,000 shares of the private placement with twenty-four accredited investors and received $2,500,000 in gross proceeds from the offering; however, the 500,000 shares of common stock were not issued until January 9, 2004.  We paid $242,500 to the selling agent for commissions in connection with the 485,000 shares that were sold by the selling agent.

       During the three months ended March 31, 2004, we received $1,875,000 from the issuance of unsecured subordinated promissory notes.  The notes were sold in increments of $25,000 per unit.  Each unit consisted of one 7.5% unsecured promissory note in the amount of $25,000 due January 31, 2009 and 7,500 warrants to purchase Host’s common stock at an exercise price of

-21-


$10.00, exercisable from December 31, 2004 until January 31, 2009.  Interest will accrue from the date of issuance, payable semi-annually on June 30 and December 31.  We have incurred costs of $195,965 in connection with these note obligations.

       Host business dining does not anticipate making any substantial capital expenditures during the balance of the fiscal year that are not typically reimbursed by its customers.  Initial capital expenditures primarily incurred when a new food service agreement is in its initial start up phase will be financed by cash flows from operations.  On July 1, 2003, Lindley entered into a two-year capital lease agreement for a packaging machine. The packaging machine has already helped to improve efficiency and reduce Lindley’s labor costs.  On October 24, 2003, Lindley entered into a five year, interest free installment note for the purchase of a new 2003 Ford van.  If Lindley is awarded any of the large senior feeding programs it is currently bidding on, it may be required to purchase trucks and food processing equipment to operate these programs.  Lindley expects to fund its equipment requirements through capital leases with its current finance company.

Host Results of Operations

For the Year Ended June 30, 2003 (“2003 period”) vs. the Year Ended June 30, 2002 (“2002 period”)

       Net revenues for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2003 were $25,198,585 as compared to $24,370,150 for the year ended June 30, 2002.  Accordingly, revenues increased $828,435 or approximately 3.4%.  The increase in net revenues was partly a result of the acquisition of SelectForce, which generated revenues of $1,757,904 for the 2003 period as compared to $465,522 for the three months it operated in the 2002 period, or an increase of $1,292,382.  The SelectForce significant revenue increase of $1,292,382 for 2003 was due to the fact that Host acquired SelectForce on March 28, 2002 and consequently only operated it for the last three months of the fiscal year ended June 30, 2002 as compared to a full year of operations in fiscal 2003.  The balance of the sales variance was generated by the continued growth of Lindley, which had a revenue increase of $2,043,790 over the 2002 period.  The three new locations Lindley opened in Indiana, Florida and Massachusetts in July 2002, January 2003 and March 2003, respectively, generated $2,165,759 in revenue.  This was offset by the December 2002 closing of its shelf stable meal in Texas, which resulted in a sales decrease of $151,537 versus the previous year.  Lindley decided to close the Texas location due to its low margins and operating losses.  Lindley’s Connecticut locations generated a nominal revenue increase of $29,568 in fiscal 2003 when compared to fiscal 2002.  Since the majority of Lindley’s work is done on a contract basis secured through a competitive bidding process, it is not always successful in the award of contracts.  The Connecticut revenues were impacted by Lindley’s unsuccessful bids to renew its contracts with Team, Inc. and Community Action Agency.  Due to the fact that most of Lindley’s business is awarded as a result of this competitive bidding process, Lindley cannot predict if it will be successful in securing new contracts or renewing existing ones.  Host’s revenues decreased $2,507,737 from the previous fiscal year due to the closing of the Laurel View Country Club operation in fiscal 2002 and seven business dining units in fiscal 2003.  It only opened two gift shops in fiscal 2003.  Host was unsuccessful in its negotiations with the Town of Hamden, CT to maintain the Laurel View CC account.  The seven

-22-


business dining units were closed due to large reductions in the workforce populations at several locations, the bankruptcy of one and the renewal of two contracts with another food service.  Host’s business dining was impacted by the downturn in the economy which contributed to the workforce reductions at some locations and cutbacks in the more lucrative catering revenues.  As the economy continues to improve, Host expects this trend to eventually reverse and revenues should improve at existing locations due to increases in employment and additional catering.  Host expects to increase its revenues during the next fiscal year through the addition of more corporate dining accounts, aggressive marketing of its elderly feeding programs and employment screening services and the promotion of its shelf stable meal business.

       Total operating costs and expenses were $25,449,596 for the 2003 period as compared to $23,989,854 for the 2002 period, an increase of $1,459,742 or approximately 6%.  Food, paper, labor and related benefits, and contract services increased by $838,337 in the 2003 period.  A large portion of this increase is due to the acquisition of SelectForce, which operated for a full year versus only three months in 2002.  SelectForce had labor, related benefits and contracted services of $1,463,618 in 2003 as compared to $380,386 for three months in 2002, an increase of $1,083,232.  The business dining operation had a decrease in food, labor and related benefits of $2,190,048, which was due to the decline in dining revenues and improved operating efficiencies at existing cafeteria units.  The balance of the increase in food, labor and related benefits of $1,945,153 was due to the growth of the Lindley operation.  Contracted services totaling $1,151,248 represent costs incurred with SelectForce’s data screening providers.

       Other expenses consist primarily of legal and accounting fees, liability insurance, equipment and facility rental, repairs, maintenance, utilities, commissions, start-up costs related to the new Lindley locations in several states and various other costs.  Other expenses were $2,649,450 in the 2003 period as compared to $2,368,842 during 2002, an increase of $280,608 or approximately 12%. SelectForce accounted for over half of this increase.  SelectForce’s 2003 other costs increased by $146,966 over the three months it operated in 2002.

       The balance of operating costs and expenses consist of a goodwill impairment charge of $121,000 and bank and related fees expense of $261,594.  The impairment charge is for a write down of the Contra Pak goodwill due to the closing of the shelf stable meal operation in Dallas, Texas which has been moved to the Lindley facility in New Haven, Connecticut.  The bank and related fees are a result of Host’s loan modification agreements and re-financing efforts.  It includes the balance of the Webster Bank success fee of $102,500 ($22,500 was recorded in fiscal 2002), the write off of previously non-amortized loan facility costs of $34,925 and $124,169 in legal and other professional fees.

       During fiscal 2003, we incurred significant expenses in travel, labor and setup costs applicable to opening new locations in Florida, Indiana and Massachusetts.  Host expects to reduce its expenses by creating economies of scale, whenever possible, by combining the purchasing power of its various entities.  It intends to consolidate its food purchasing for both business dining and unitized meals with one vendor and anticipates a significant savings in annual food costs once this is implemented.  Host also intends to consolidate other expenses such as property, casualty and medical insurance to reduce these costs.  In October 2001, our Lindley

-23-


operation purchased an automatic cupping machine, which has saved at least one production worker per year, an approximate annual savings of $20,000.  In July 2003, Lindley purchased a shrink-wrapping machine, which has eliminated two production line workers or an anticipated savings of approximately $40,000 per year.  Lindley also anticipates purchasing additional packaging machines, conveyors, and other equipment, which is expected to improve production output, product quality and reduce expenses.   In addition, SelectForce’s new drug screening operation also incurred large setup costs, training expenses and higher rent (the previous location did not have enough space to accommodate the drug screening equipment).

       Host incurred a net operating loss (before other income and expenses, provision for income taxes, and other comprehensive income on interest rate swap adjustments) of $251,011 for the year ended June 30, 2003 as compared to net operating income of $380,296 for the year ended June 30, 2002.  Host incurred a net loss of $640,158 after provision for income taxes of $38,000 and before other comprehensive income on interest rate swap adjustments of $51,178 for the year ended June 30, 2003.  Host generated a net profit of $70,085, after provision for income taxes of $36,000 and before other comprehensive income on interest rate swap adjustments of $31,291 for the year ended June 30, 2002.  Host expects to improve profitability through the increased growth of its corporate business dining and senior feeding programs and its SelectForce operation.  Lindley Food Service incurred a net loss of $230,819 in fiscal 2003 as compared to a net profit of $421,304 in fiscal 2002.  Several factors contributed to this decrease of $652,123.  Lindley’s loss for fiscal 2003 includes a goodwill impairment charge of $121,000 due to the closing of its shelf stable meal operation in Dallas, Texas, which incurred a loss of $114,415 in 2003 an increase of $53,184 over the 2002 period.  Lindley’s loss also included a charge of $114,925 for bank and related fees recorded during the six months ended December 31, 2002.  In addition, Lindley’s food, paper and labor costs increased over the previous year and contributed to the profit decline and, as we previously indicated, Lindley incurred significant travel, labor and set-up expenses to open its new locations in Florida, Indiana and Massachusetts.

       Interest expense for the year ended June 30, 2003 increased by $71,773 over the year ended June 30, 2002.  The increase in interest expense is a result of the payment of $88,500 for the private placement subordinated debt interest and the accretion of $43,400 of original issue discount on the warrants attached to the debt.  These charges were offset by lower interest costs on the bank debt due to the principal reductions of both the term loan and the revolving line of credit.

For the Year Ended June 30, 2002 (“2002 period”) vs. the Year Ended June 29, 2001 (“2001 period”)

       Net revenues for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2002 were $24,370,150 as compared to $21,636,168 for the year ended June 29, 2001.  Accordingly, revenues increased $2,733,982 or approximately 13%.  The increase in net revenues was primarily a result of increased revenues from Lindley, which accounted for $1,511,749 of the increase.  In addition, revenue increased by $839,116 and $465,522 from the Contra-Pak operation for ten months and SelectForce for three months, respectively.  Host’s revenues decreased $82,405 from the previous fiscal year.

-24-


       Total operating costs and expenses were $23,989,854 for the 2002 period as compared to $21,403,264 for the 2001 period, an increase of $2,586,590 or approximately 12%.  This increase is mostly attributable to the SelectForce and Contra-Pak acquisitions and the increase in Lindley’s operating revenues.

       Food, paper, labor and related benefits, and contract services increased by $2,486,702 in the 2002 period.  A portion of this increase is due to the acquisition of SelectForce, which had labor, related benefits and contracted services of $380,386 for the quarter ended June 30, 2002.  The business dining operation had an increase in food, labor, and related benefits of $32,819.  The balance of the increase in food, labor and related benefits of $2,073,497 was due to the growth in the Lindley operation and the addition of Contra-Pak.

       Other expenses consist primarily of legal and accounting fees, liability insurance, equipment and facility rental, repairs, maintenance, utilities, commissions and various other costs.  Other expenses were $2,368,842 in the 2002 period as compared to $2,152,318 in 2001, an increase of $216,524, or approximately 10%.  The increase in 2002 is primarily due to the acquisition of SelectForce.

       The balance of operating costs and expenses are for bank and related fees of $52,372.  This includes an accrual of $22,500 for the Webster Bank loan success fee and $29,872 for the swap breakage fee paid on April 5, 2002.

       Statements of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 141, Business Combinations and No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets were issued in July 2001.  These standards change the accounting for business combinations which include, among other things, requiring companies to stop amortizing goodwill and certain intangible assets deemed to have indefinite useful lives.  Host elected to adopt SFAS No.’s 141 and 142 effective June 30, 2001, which reduced amortization expense of goodwill and increased net income by approximately $163,000 for the year ended June 30, 2002.

       Host generated a net operating profit (before other income and expenses, provision for income taxes, and other comprehensive income on interest rate swap adjustments) of $380,296 for the year ended June 30, 2002 as compared to net operating income of $232,904 for the year ended June 29, 2001.  Host generated net income of $70,085 after provision for income taxes of $36,000 and before other comprehensive income on interest rate swap adjustments of $31,291 for the year ended June 30, 2002 as compared to a net loss of $42,387, after provision for income taxes of $44,500 for the year ended June 29, 2001.  The improvements in both operating and net income for the year ended June 30, 2002 were a direct result of the Lindley and SelectForce acquisitions and the continued effort by Host to control expenses.  Host expects to continue to improve profitability through the increased growth of its senior feeding programs, its SelectForce operation and the continued reduction of expenses generated by improved operating efficiencies.

       Interest expense for the year ended June 30, 2002 decreased by $2,432 over the year ended June 29, 2001 due to lower rates and the amortization of the Lindley term loan.  Other income was $6,818 for the year ended June 30, 2002 as compared to $52,670 for the year ended June 29,

-25-


2001, a decrease of $45,852.  This decrease is primarily attributed to a reduction in net investment income of $18,929 and a decrease in gain on sale of assets of $21,313.  The decline in net investment income was due to the use of cash to fund the Lindley acquisition.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

       The current ratio at June 30, 2003 and June 30, 2002 was 1.20 and .79, respectively.  This increase is primarily due to the proceeds of $1,475,000 from the private placement subordinated debt.  Host applied $965,000 of these proceeds to its revolving line of credit during fiscal 2003.  Host also paid an additional $48,000 on the revolving line of credit with some of the proceeds from the sale of various vending equipment and inventory.  The long-term portion of the term note payable has been classified in accordance with the terms of the new agreement in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet as of June 30, 2003.

       Net cash flows for the year ended June 30, 2003 resulted in a decrease in cash of $74,097, which was primarily attributable to the purchase of property and equipment, and the reduction of accounts payable, accrued expenses and bank debt, net of private placement and equipment proceeds.  Cash flows provided by operations for the year ended June 30, 2003 were $109,650.  The net loss for 2003 was mostly offset by non-cash charges to depreciation, amortization and goodwill impairment.  Cash used in investing activities of $77,562 was a result of equipment purchases of $215,502 net of proceeds from the sale of equipment of $137,940.  Cash used in financing activities of $106,185 was due to the payment of deferred finance charges of $129,121 and net principal payments on long-term debt and the revolving line of credit of $439,064 and $1,013,000, respectively.  These charges were net of private placement proceeds of $1,475,000.

       As discussed in Note 9 to the accompanying notes to the consolidated financial statements, with regard to the term loan obtained by Host in connection with the acquisition of Lindley, Host entered into an interest rate swap agreement on July 31, 2000 effectively replacing variable interest payments (LIBOR + 2.5%) with fixed interest payments (9.77%) in order to hedge against the changes in the amount of future cash flows associated with payments on variable rate debt.  As of June 30, 2003 Host was paying a fixed rate of 7.27% and receiving 1.32% on a notional amount of $1,190,889.  The differential paid on the interest rate swap agreement is recognized currently as an adjustment to interest expense and totaled $75,933 for the year ended June 30, 2003.  The interest rate swap, totaling $29,099 at June 30, 2003, is reflected at fair value in Host ’s consolidated balance sheet and the related loss on this contract is deferred in shareholders’ equity (as a component of accumulated other comprehensive loss).  This deferred loss is then amortized as an adjustment to interest expense over the same period in which the related interest payments being hedged are recognized in income.  The effect of this accounting on Host’s operating results is that the interest expense on the portion of variable-rate debt being hedged is generally recorded based on a fixed interest rate (9.77%).  In connection with the first amended and restated commercial loan and security agreement, we incurred a swap breakage fee of $29,872 which was paid on April 5, 2002.  On August 5, 2003, we paid the bank $18,083 to unwind the swap agreement pursuant to the July 31, 2003 modification and reaffirmation agreement.

-26-


       Cash flows provided by operations for the year ended June 30, 2002 were $779,873.  This improvement in cash flows from operations was primarily generated by Host’s net income of $70,085 as compared to its net loss of $42,387 in fiscal 2001.  Cash used in investing activities of $311,907 was principally due to the use of $198,507 to acquire Contra-Pak’s assets and the SelectForce acquisition.   Cash used in financing activities of $179,418 was due to net principal payments on long-term debt of $154,418.

GlobalNet Results of Operations

For the Nine Months Ended September 30, 2003

       Since GlobalNet was formed on May 16, 2002, it generated limited sales and operating expenses during the period ended September 30, 2002.  Therefore, discussions below are primarily focused on the operating results for GlobalNet for the nine month period from January 1, 2003 through September 30, 2003.

       Net revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 2003 were $349,714.  Approximately $337,000 of these sales were for the sale and installation of GlobalNet’s computerized controller equipment.  The remaining $13,000 in revenue was for aggregation fees.   The equipment was sold under sales agreements which have payment terms ranging up to three years.  The established sales price was fixed in connection with each individual customer; however, the payment terms were predicated upon the estimated kilowatt usage as determined by GlobalNet’s management based upon the customer’s past energy consumption requirements.  GlobalNet utilized this methodology due to the novelty of its product and as a basis for establishing customer relationships.  GlobalNet anticipates that it will utilize more traditional terms on future transactions and receive payment in full upon completion of most equipment installations.  The sales agreements consist of two revenue components for GlobalNet, one for equipment charges and the other for aggregation fees, which are recognized as revenue when they are received each month.  Accordingly, we have recorded deferred revenue for the aggregation sales of $122,000.  As a registered aggregator, GlobalNet is authorized to act as an electricity buyer’s agent and can join two or more customers into a single purchasing unit to negotiate the purchase of electricity on behalf of a customer group.  In addition, we have also recorded deferred revenue for $410,000, representing uninstalled equipment at some of the locations for two major contracts.  The aggregation portion will be recognized as revenue when payments are received from the applicable customer and the equipment piece will be recorded as revenue when the equipment is installed.

       Total operating expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2003 were $1,201,931.  Purchases of $282,784 consist of various electrical parts and components used in the production of the computerized controllers.  Labor and benefits of $373,395 consists of installers’ and officers’ salaries and wages, related benefits and taxes, and a charge of $97,300 for compensation expense pursuant to the issuance of stock to the GlobalNet shareholders.  Contracted services of $80,955 are for out-sourced installation and other fees.  GlobalNet recorded $6,628 in depreciation expense and $250,051 in other expenses, which includes travel, entertainment, office and other supplies, provision for bad debts, professional fees, facility rent, provision for

-27-


warranty charge and various other costs.  Interest expense of $53,338 is primarily comprised of interest charges relating to the various shareholder notes.

       GlobalNet incurred an operating loss of $908,555, after provision for income taxes of $3,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2003.  GlobalNet expects to improve future profitability through increased sales and installations of its computerized controllers and the development of other revenue sources such as aggregation and equipment monitoring fees.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

       GlobalNet’s cash requirements during the nine months ended September 30, 2003 were primarily funded by notes and advances from related parties.  Net cash flows for the period resulted in a net cash increase of $7,544.  Operating activities resulted in a net cash outflow of $654,910.  This was primarily a result of the net loss and an increase in accounts receivable, which was partly offset by the various non-cash charges, deferred revenue and accrued expenses. Net cash used in investing activities of $74,259 was for the purchase of property and equipment. GlobalNet’s financing activities resulted in a cash inflow of $736,713 as a result of proceeds from related parties’ notes and advances, net of note re-payments.  Operating revenues and debt and equity financing are expected to provide future long-term liquidity; however, GlobalNet cannot predict what the outcome of its debt and equity raising efforts will be.

       GlobalNet’s accounts receivable relate to long-term financing arrangements on the sale of energy control panels and include charges for equipment installations.  Accounts receivables have been generally financed for up to three years and have been recorded net of unamortized discounts and allowances for uncollectible amounts.  The provision for uncollectible amounts for the nine months ended September 30, 2003 was $18,000.

       A major shareholder of Host, who was also a principal shareholder of GlobalNet, has provided GlobalNet with debt financing.  During the nine months ended September 30, 2003, GlobalNet received note proceeds of $710,000 from the shareholder.  These notes, which bear interest at 12% and 15%, mature from November 2003 through August 2006.  As of September 30, 2003, the total balance due on these notes was $631,221.  In addition, as of September 30, 2003, there is a promissory note payable with an outstanding balance of $75,492 due to Host America.  The note bears interest at 9.25% and is due on December 31, 2003.  The proceeds from all of these notes were used primarily for working capital requirements and fixed asset purchases.  GlobalNet also has promissory notes payable to two officers and a director totaling $180,000.  The notes were executed for compensation of $150,000 and for working capital advances totaling $30,000.  The notes will be non-interest bearing if they are paid in full before December 31, 2003.

GlobalNet Results of Operations

May 16, 2002 (inception) to December 31, 2002

       Net revenues for the period May 16, 2002 (inception) through December 31, 2002 were $69,272.  Approximately $39,000 of these sales was paid by air conditioning dealers for sales and installation training kits and demonstration equipment.  The remaining $30,000 in revenue was for the sale of computerized controller equipment to various other customers.

       Cost of goods sold of $32,291 consists of various electrical parts, components and other expenses used in the production of the equipment.  Operating expenses of $47,369 consist primarily of commissions, contract labor, travel, entertainment, office expenses, professional fees and depreciation.

       GlobalNet incurred an operating loss of $10,388 for the period ended December 31, 2002.  GlobalNet expects to improve future profitability through increased sales and installations of its computerized controllers and the development of other revenue sources such as aggregation and equipment monitoring fees.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

       GlobalNet’s cash requirements during the period ended December 31, 2002 were funded by equity and advances from an officer and director.  Net cash flows for the period resulted in an overdraft of $297.  Operating activities resulted in a net cash outflow of $9,256.  Net cash used in investing activities of $8,409 was for the purchase of property and equipment.  GlobalNet’s financing activities resulted in a cash inflow of $17,368 as a result of its initial stock issuance and cash advances from an officer and director.  Operating revenues and debt and equity financing are expected to provide future long-term liquidity; however, GlobalNet cannot predict what the outcome of its debt and equity raising efforts will be.

Critical Accounting Policies

       Our consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Host Corporation and all consolidated subsidiaries. The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amount of assets and liabilities at the date of our consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. While we do not believe the reported amounts would be materially different, application of these policies involves the exercise of judgment and the use of assumptions as to future uncertainties and, as a result, actual results could differ from these estimates. We evaluate our estimates and judgments, including those related to the impairment of long-lived assets, on an ongoing basis. We base our estimates on experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. All of our significant accounting policies are disclosed in the notes to our

-29-


consolidated financial statements. The following represent certain critical accounting policies that require us to exercise our business judgment or make significant estimates:

Acquisition Accounting

       The acquisitions of Lindley, Contra-Pak, SelectForce and GlobalNet have been accounted for under the purchase method of accounting for business combinations. Under the purchase method of accounting, the cost, including transaction costs, is allocated to the underlying net assets based on their respective estimated fair values. The excess of the purchase price over the estimated fair values of net assets acquired was recorded as goodwill for Lindley, Contra-Pak and SelectForce.  The excess purchase price in connection with the GlobalNet acquisition was expensed due to the uncertainties surrounding GlobalNet’s ability to meet the purchase requirements under its distribution agreement, and the fact that GlobalNet has not executed contractual arrangements that provide reliable and objective evidence supporting future cash flows to recover the goodwill.

       The judgments made in determining the estimated fair value and expected useful lives assigned to each class of assets acquired and liabilities assumed can significantly impact net income (loss). Determining the fair value of certain assets acquired and liabilities assumed is judgmental in nature and often involves the use of significant estimates and assumptions. One of the areas that require more judgment in determining fair values and useful lives is intangible assets. We used a discounted cash flow model to estimate the value of the customer lists and the goodwill acquired in connection with the SelectForce acquisition. Some of the more significant estimates and assumptions inherent in this approach are the projected future cash flows (including timing), the discount rate reflecting the risk inherent in the future cash flows, and the average life of a customer. Most of the assumptions were made based on available historical information.  We utilized the services of a valuation firm to estimate the fair value of Lindley and Contra-Pak in connection with testing the related goodwill for impairment. 

       The value of our intangible assets, including goodwill, is exposed to future adverse changes if we experience declines in operating results or experiences significant negative industry or economic trends or if future performance is below historical trends. We periodically review intangible assets and goodwill for impairment using the guidance of applicable accounting literature.

Depreciation and Amortization Expense

       Depreciation expense is based on the estimated useful life of our assets and amortization expense for leasehold improvements is the shorter of the lease term or the estimated useful life of the related assets. The lives of the assets are based on a number of assumptions including cost and timing of capital expenditures to maintain and refurbish the assets, as well as specific market and economic conditions. While management believes its estimates are reasonable, a change in the estimated lives could affect depreciation expense and net income or the gain or loss on the sale of any of our hotels.

Valuation of Deferred Tax Assets

       We have $30,000, net of a valuation allowance of $1,613,000, in consolidated deferred tax assets as of June 30, 2003.  SFAS 109, “Accounting for Income Taxes,” establishes financial accounting and reporting standards for income taxes, the objectives of which are to recognize the amount of taxes payable or refundable for the current year and deferred tax liabilities and assets for the future tax consequences of events that have been recognized in a Company’s financial statements or tax returns. We have considered various factors, including future reversals of existing taxable temporary differences, future projected taxable income and tax planning strategies in determining a valuation allowance for our deferred tax assets, and we believe that it is more likely than not that we will be able to realize the $30,000 in deferred tax assets in the future. When a determination is made that all, or a portion, of the deferred tax assets may not be realized, an increase in income tax expense would be recorded in that period.

Allowance for Doubtful Accounts

       Our accounts receivable balance, net of allowance for doubtful accounts, was $2,679,938 as of July 30, 2003, compared with $3,019,798 as of June 30, 2002. The allowance for doubtful accounts as of June 30, 2003 was $23,000, compared with $15,000 as of June 30, 2002. The allowance is based on our assessment of the collectibility of customer accounts. We regularly review the allowance by considering factors such as historical experience, credit quality, age of the accounts receivable balances, and current economic conditions that may affect a customer’s ability to pay.  If a major customer’s creditworthiness deteriorates, or if actual defaults are higher than our historical experience, or if other circumstances arise, our estimates of the recoverability of amounts due to us could be overstated, and additional allowances could be required, which could have an adverse impact on our revenue.

Stock Options

       Estimates are required for the supplemental disclosures relating to accounting for stock based compensation.  The potential impact on compensation expense resulting from a hypothetical 10% change in the expected volatility factor on all outstanding stock options would be approximately $70,000.

HOST AMERICA CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO PRO FORMA COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

On December 23, 2003, the Company issued 550,000 shares of Host’s common stock in exchange for all of the outstanding shares of GlobalNet plus net liabilities assumed of $276,000 and acquisition expenses of $213,000, for a total purchase price of approximately $3,431,000.  The acquisition was accounted for using the purchase method of accounting.

The Pro Forma Combined Financial Statements of the consolidated entity (Company) are unaudited and presented for informational purposes only and may not reflect the Company’s future results of operations and financial position or what the results of operations and financial position would have been had such transactions occurred as of the dates indicated.  The unaudited Pro Forma Combined Financial Statements and Notes should be read in conjunction with the Financial Statements and Notes and “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Results of Operations and Financial Condition” included in Host’s Annual Report on Form 10-KSB for the year ended June 30, 2003.

Basis of Presentation of Pro Forma Combined Financial Statements

The pro forma combined financial statements include a statement of operations for the year ended June 30, 2003 for Host (latest audited financial statements) and for GlobalNet.  Also included is a pro forma combined statement of operations for Host for the nine months ended March 31, 2004 (latest interim financial statements) and GlobalNet for the period July 1, 2003 through December 22, 2003 (prior to the December 23, 2003 acquisition date).  Overall, adjustments were made in the pro forma financial statements to record the acquisition, and to reflect known changes being made in the operations of the business.

In the pro forma statements of operations, adjustments were made to reflect additional estimated benefit costs that GlobalNet employees would be entitled to of $18,000 and $13,500 for the year ended June 30, 2003 and the nine months ended March 31, 2004, respectively.  The pro forma adjustment in the year ended June 30, 2003 has been shown net of an estimated income tax benefit of $7,000.  There was no pro forma income tax adjustment recorded for the nine months ended March 31, 2004.  Such pro forma amounts are not necessarily indicative of what the actual consolidated results of operations might have been had the acquisitions been effective at the beginning of Host and GlobalNets’ fiscal years.

The weighted average shares outstanding for Host have been adjusted for the purposes of the pro forma financial statements to reflect the total shares issued in connection with the acquisition.

Historical net loss and pro forma combined net loss per common share were computed based upon 3,258,801 and 3,608,801 weighted average shares outstanding, respectively, for the nine months ended March 31, 2004.  The 3,608,801 pro forma combined weighted average shares outstanding are based upon the assumption that the 550,000 shares issued for the GlobalNet acquisition had occurred on July 1, 2003.  Diluted earnings per share was not presented for the historical nine months ended March 31, 2004, as the potentially dilutive warrants, convertible preferred stock and stock purchase options were anti-dilutive.

-35-


Historical net loss and pro forma combined net loss per common share were computed based upon 2,178,234 and 2,728,234 weighted average shares outstanding, respectively, for the year ended June 30, 2003. The 2,728,234 pro forma combined weighted average shares outstanding are the sum of the 550,000 shares issued for the GlobalNet acquisition, based upon the assumption that the transaction had occurred on July 1, 2002, and, the 2,178,234 historical weighted average shares outstanding for the year ended June 30, 2003. Diluted earnings per share was not presented for the historical year ended June 30, 2003, as the potentially dilutive warrants, convertible preferred stock and stock purchase options were anti-dilutive.

BUSINESS

       Except for historical information, the following description of our business contains forward-looking statements which involve risks and uncertainties.  Our actual results could differ materially from those set forth in these forward-looking statements as a result of a number of factors, including those set forth under the heading, “Risk Factors.”

Overview

       Host America Corporation currently consists of four principal operating divisions:  Host Business Dining, Lindley Food Service, SelectForce and GlobalNet.  Lindley Food Service, SelectForce and GlobalNet conduct their operations through entities which are wholly-owned subsidiaries of Host.  Host Business Diningis a contract food management organization that specializes in providing full service corporate dining, and such ancillary services as special event catering and office coffee products to business and industry accounts located in Connecticut, New York, New Hampshire, New Jersey, Rhode Island and Texas.  Our Lindley Food Service subsidiary provides fresh, unitized meals for governmental programs, such as senior nutrition programs, Head Start programs, school breakfast and summer school programs, primarily under fixed-price contracts in Connecticut, Florida, Indiana, Massachusetts and Rhode Island.  Our SelectForce subsidiary is a regional employment and drug screening company offering criminal histories, motor vehicle reports, workers compensation records, verification of education and social security numbers, credit reports and previous employment verification.  SelectForce is able to provide its services to clients throughout the United States and currently has clients in Arkansas, Colorado, Connecticut, Kansas, Missouri, New Mexico, Oklahoma and Texas.  Effective December 23, 2003, Host acquired GlobalNet as its third wholly-owned subsidiary.  GlobalNet markets, sells and installs control panels and other electrical energy saving devices for commercial and industrial users.  GlobalNet is in the process of establishing a multi-channel marketing and sales platform in addition to direct sales by its executive officers and sub-distributors, to bring its energy savings product to the market.

History

       We were formed as a Delaware corporation on February 6, 1986 under the name, University Dining Services, Inc.  Our initial business strategy was to provide food service to colleges and preparatory schools in the New England area.  After several years, we determined it was more profitable to concentrate on larger, more densely populated customer bases.  Accordingly, in 1992, we became a full service food management company providing employee dining and special events catering to large office complexes.  On April 30, 1999, we filed Articles of Merger with the State of Colorado to change our corporate domicile, merging Host Delaware into Host Colorado and Host Delaware ceased to exist as of that date.  We changed our corporate domicile to reduce the amount of franchise tax required in the State of Delaware.

       On July 31, 2000, we purchased all of the issued and outstanding shares of Lindley Food Service Corporation of Bridgeport, Connecticut for $6,116,000.  We paid approximately $3.7 million in cash and issued 198,122 shares of our common stock.  Lindley is engaged in the preparation and sale of fresh and frozen unitized meals for senior food programs, school lunches,

-37-


and various governmental programs, under fixed-price contracts.  Unitized meals allow our clients to contain costs and ensure high quality nutritional standards.

       On March 28, 2002, we acquired all of the outstanding shares of SelectForce, Inc. pursuant to a merger agreement dated October 26, 2001, as modified by an amendment agreement dated December 19, 2001.  In consideration for the acquisition of SelectForce, we issued a total of 700,000 shares of our common stock to the SelectForce shareholders.  This transaction was approved by our shareholders at our annual meeting which was held on March 28, 2002, and SelectForce now operates as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Host.

       On December 23, 2003, we acquired GlobalNet Energy Investors, Inc. pursuant to the terms and conditions of the amended and restated merger agreement dated December 2, 2003.  The shareholders of GlobalNet received in the aggregate, 550,000 shares of Host’s common stock in exchange for all of their outstanding GlobalNet common stock.  As part of the acquisition, we agreed to allocate, on an as received basis, of 80% of the net proceeds from the exercise of the 1,150,000 warrants for marketing and sales of GlobalNet energy management products, to which this registration statement relates, exercisable at $5.50 per warrant, that are currently publicly traded under the NASDQ Symbol CAFEW.

Recent Developments

       Commencing on June 23, 2004, with a final closing on June 25, 2004, we privately placed with Laurus Master Funds, Ltd (i) a Secured Convertible Term Note A in the aggregate principal amount of $4,000,000 which note is convertible into 795,260 shares of our common stock at a fixed conversion price of $5.03 per share, and (ii) a Secured Convertible Term Note B in the aggregate principal amount of $4,000,000 which note is convertible into 730,194 shares of our common stock at a fixed conversion price of $5.48 per share.  The $4,000,000 in proceeds received by us from the placement of Note A are immediately available for use.  However, the terms of Note B require that the $4,000,000 in proceeds received from the placement of Note B be placed in a “restricted bank account” under the sole domain and control of Laurus to be released to us in certain specified amounts only upon presentation to and approval by Laurus of bona fide customer contracts obligating the customer to acquire certain energy savings products, including circuit board units and control boxes, from us or any of our subsidiaries.  In addition, we may request Laurus from time to time to direct the bank to release all or a portion of the amounts contained in the restricted account following or in connection with a corporate acquisition by us or upon conversion of Note B by Laurus into our common stock.

       Note A bears interest at prime plus 1%, which rate is subject to reduction features based on performance. Note B bears interest at 1% until such time as it becomes no longer subject to the restricted account then interest is calculated on the same terms as Note A. Both notes are for a term of three years.

       We also issued to Laurus a common stock purchase warrant for 450,000 shares of our common stock exercisable for a 10 year period at conversion prices as follows:  300,000 shares at $5.98 and 150,000 shares at $6.23.  The warrant is subject to certain adjustment provisions in the event we shall (a) effect a corporate reorganization or merger; or (b) consolidate with or merge

-38-


into any other entity or transfer all or substantially all of its assets or properties under a plan contemplating our dissolution.

       The notes are secured by a first lien on all of our assets and our operating subsidiaries as well as a guarantee by our subsidiaries in favor of Laurus.  In connection with the transaction, we paid fees of 10% of the total gross proceeds.

Industry and Market Overview

Food Service Industry

       Technomic, a food consultant and research company, estimates that the United States food service industry is a multi-billion dollar industry, encompassing corporate services, educational markets, hospital/health care, correctional facilities, military facilities and transportation facilities.  Technomic also estimates that the senior feeding market is a multi-billion dollar industry, and Host’s subsidiary, Lindley, primarily serves this market.  The food service market is characterized by a large concentration of corporate and industry populations in a multitude of geographic locations.  We believe the geographic locations in which we operate contain:

       

•       

the largest financial segment of the industry,

       

•       

high population density,

       

•       

numerous corporate office parks and industrial facilities, and

       

•       

high concentration of medium-size corporations.

       Although Host has a relatively small share of the food service provider market, we compete favorably with other regional food service providers and those national companies that have operations in the northeastern United States.  We believe we are able to remain competitive because of the quality, selection and value of the food and services that we provide.

Pre-Employment Screening Industry

       We believe that the need for SelectForce’s pre-employment and drug screening services will grow as the United States workforce grows.  The Bureau of Labor Statistics estimates that the United States civilian labor force will increase by 17 million over the 2000-2010 period, reaching 158 million in 2010.  Fortune Magazine wrote in February 2000, that on average in U.S. businesses, at least 50% of all new hires do not work out.  Furthermore, according to AAIM Management Association, a non-profit employer association, 33% of all applicants to a job embellish their resumes or falsify information on an application.  The Employers Resources Association estimates that the cost of replacing employees ranges from $6,000 to $11,000 per employee.  Based on these statistics, we believe there will be continuing need for our pre-employment screening services.

Energy Management

       The United States Department of Energy’s website indicates that electrical consumption, which, exceeds approximately $200 billion dollars annually, is projected to grow at a 2% rate per

-39-


year through the year 2020.  In addition, the Department of Energy anticipates that increasing electrical demand may exceed the industry’s ability to generate sufficient electrical power.  During 2003, the northeastern region of the United States and portions of Canada, experienced total grid power failure as a result of insufficient electrical energy to satisfy the increase in demand.  In addition, certain states continue to experience high rate increases and brownouts with little relief in sight.  To combat this growing problem, Public Utility Commissions throughout the United States have implemented programs to require utilities to implement energy conservation and management programs to promote the replacement or retrofitting of inefficient lighting, heating and cooling equipment.  In a competitive business environment demanding lower prices of products to the market place, the increase in electricity operating costs will continue to diminish operating margins unless companies and residential consumers take proactive measures to increase electrical efficiencies and reduce waste.  As a result, utility companies and consumers alike are motivated to decrease overall energy consumption.  Almost 60% of this energy is used to power an estimated 1 billion AC electric motor-driven devices in the U.S.  The U.S. Department of Energy estimates that anywhere from 20% to 40% of the country’s electrical consumption is wasted each day by the inefficient operation of AC induction motors.  Deregulation of utilities and increased competition are forcing electric utilities to become pro-active in promoting the purchase and installation of energy saving products and services similar to those currently being offered to its customers by GlobalNet and its affiliates.

Operations

       With the recent addition of GlobalNet, Host consists of four operating divisions: Host Business Dining, Lindley Food Service, SelectForce and GlobalNet.  A description of each division follows.

Host Business Dining

       Since our formation in 1986, we have grown from providing food service to colleges and preparatory schools in the New England area to a regional, full-service food service provider for major corporations.  Our primary clients are medium-size corporate accounts with annual food sales of between $250,000 and $2 million.  We feel these accounts allow us the opportunity to provide a wide variety of food services in a single location.  We also are afforded the opportunity to customize our services at each location to provide:

       

•       

cafeteria services,

       

•       

special event catering,

       

•       

office coffee services, and

       

•       

employee gift and sundry stores.

       At most locations, we are the exclusive provider of all available food and beverages and are responsible for hiring and training personnel.  Our on-site managers work closely with our corporate officers to ensure continuing food quality and customer satisfaction.

       New accounts are assigned to a member of management who develops a comprehensive plan to meet each client’s specific needs.  After extensive interviews and on-site visits, an operating

-40-


strategy is formulated to best meet the needs of our clients.  We consider various factors to maximize our profit potential without sacrificing client satisfaction, including a thorough review of:

       

•       

labor and product costs,

       

•       

facility and menu design,

       

•       

training and recruiting,

       

•       

specialized needs of the client or its employees, and

       

•       

equipment needs.

       Each location is continually reviewed to monitor client employee satisfaction, changing food requirements and quality of food and service.  Based upon reports supplied by on-site managers, additional services are added as demand changes, including catering facilities and food selection upgrades.

       In an effort to reduce costs and increase profitability, we began to outsource our vending operation during the quarter ended March 31, 2003.  We sold our vending equipment and inventory and eliminated our vending staff.  We entered into agreements with the companies that purchased the equipment and inventory and will receive monthly commissions on the vending sales generated by these companies at the various unit locations.

       We may be required to grant credit to our customers to fund their initial purchase of equipment and supplies at our various food service facilities.  Before granting credit, we review a client’s credit history and establish an allowance for doubtful accounts based upon factors surrounding the credit risk of specific clients, industry historical trends and other types of credit information.  To reduce the risk of default, our client contracts provide for buyback provisions requiring each client to buy the equipment and supplies in the event of an early termination of the contract.

       Client accounts are staffed by several levels of management type employees who are responsible for our client’s complete satisfaction.  We employ district managers with strong sales and administrative backgrounds who are responsible for overseeing the client accounts in their region, as well as forecasting the budget for each account and assisting the on-site management at each location.  The on-site manager is responsible for the day-to-day activities of the account and for ensuring continuing food quality and satisfaction.  In the smaller accounts, a chef/manager will perform these duties.  The supporting personnel at each location may include:

       

•       

an executive chef,

       

•       

sous chef,

       

•       

grill cook,

       

•       

deli servers,

       

•       

cashiers,

       

•       

dishwashers,

       

•       

catering personnel, and

       

•       

general kitchen help.

-41-


       We employ managers, chefs and cooks who have obtained experience from larger food service organizations, graduates of a culinary school or graduates with a degree in Hotel and Restaurant management.  Other support personnel are hired locally and trained on-site by our on-site manager, chef/managers and/or district mangers.

Lindley Food Service

       Our Lindley subsidiary prepares meals for various governmental programs under fixed-price contracts and has a slightly different operational structure.  Typically, Lindley will bid on government feeding contracts involving schools and senior citizen programs.  Lindley operates three food processing locations in Connecticut which have high volume production capabilities for breakfast, lunch and after school programs and recently, Lindley added production facilities in Florida, Indiana and Massachusetts.  Lindley’s production staff prepares the meals daily and delivers the meals using its own trucks and drivers, directly from the food processing locations to the client’s facility.  Lindley also offers packaged microwavable senior meals for its “meals-on-wheels” programs and does congregate feeding.  A staff nutritionist monitors the nutritional content of the food produced at each of Lindley’s facilities.  Currently, Lindley is one of the largest providers of fresh unitized meals in the Northeast, operating out of its various production sites.

       Lindley’s strengths include professional management of large-volume accounts, custom designed meals for special needs and available plan capacity to expand production.

SelectForce

       SelectForce is a regional employment screening company offering a complete package of criminal histories, motor vehicle reports, worker’s compensation records, verifications of education and social security numbers, credit reports, and previous employment verification.  Drug screening (five-panel and nine-panel) and assessment testing is also available to SelectForce’s clients through strategic affiliates.  SelectForce recently began providing paternity testing (DNA).  SelectForce currently has clients in Arkansas, Colorado, Connecticut, Georgia, Kansas, Missouri, New Mexico, Oklahoma and Texas.

       The majority of corporate revenues are from sales to customers that are in health care or temporary employment industries.  This makes up approximately 45% of our revenues and includes nursing homes, assisted living centers, hospitals, and home health care providers.  Temporary employment agencies currently make up 10% of revenues.  The balance of revenues is from a variety of commercial businesses, schools, and contractors.  SelectForce has over 1,000 different accounts with the average account size being only $2,500 annually.  Management believes by focusing on larger employers that have 1,000 to 5,000 employees, incremental profits will increase by reducing administrative costs and increasing the average size of the account.

       SelectForces’s primary emphasis has been on those businesses that are required by law to have criminal history searches performed.  These types of accounts presently make up the majority of SelectForce’s clients.  Currently the emphasis is shifting from being more than a requirement, but rather a solution to those larger corporate accounts.  SelectForce has segmented

-42-


each step in the workflow process to ensure that proper handling and special attention is given to those key accounts. One person is assigned to each key account and a member of management tracks the daily activities and monitors the process for quality and customer satisfaction.  Typically, SelectForce does not require contracts with their clients.  To minimize losses, management monitors outstanding balances monthly and freezes accounts that are past due more than 60 days.

       SelectForce has recently begun to target the education industry, and with new legislation requiring criminal background checks for all personnel, SelectForce hopes to enhance current operations.  SelectForce will continue to focus on the education market by establishing strong relationships in related professional associations and organizations.  SelectForce will attend conferences and trade shows to establish contacts and promote services.

GlobalNet

       GlobalNet markets, sells, installs and manages energy saving products and technology.  Its principal product consists of a computerized controller capable of reducing energy consumption and demand fluctuations of electrical inductive loads on motors and certain lighting systems.  GlobalNet believes it can provide both large and small customers with significant savings on their electrical energy usage and minimize downtime costs associated with power outages.  Likewise, the increase in energy efficiency can reduce repairs and maintenance expenses by pro-longing the life of the customers’ equipment.  GlobalNet holds a license/distribution agreement with EnergyNSync, an affiliated company, which provides GlobalNet with the exclusive right to distribute their energy products.  The agreement is contingent upon GlobalNet meeting minimum annual dollar volume purchase requirements measured on a quarterly basis.  In the event GlobalNet fails to meet the quarterly purchase requirements, the exclusive term shall terminate and the agreement shall automatically be amended and shall thereafter be, non-exclusive for the non-exclusive term (6 months).  In the event that GlobalNet fails to meet the minimum annual purchase requirement during the non-exclusive term, EnergyNSync may give 30 days prior written notice to GlobalNet to terminate this agreement.  GlobalNet failed to meet its first quarterly measurement requirement; however, it has secured a waiver of this default from EnergyNSync.

       GlobalNet’s principal products and services are as follows:

       

•       

LightMasterPlus
This product reduces kilowatt hours and demand usage in ballasts, bulbs and light fixtures and increases their useful life by correcting their power factors and decreasing the heat generated by them during operation.

       

       

       

•       

MotorMasterPlus
This product also reduces kilowatt hours and demand usage in various motors such as air conditioner compressors and appliances and increases their useful life by correcting their power factors, reducing motor vibration and decreasing the motor’s operating temperature.

     

     

     

-43-


       

       

       

•       

VaporMaster
This product is a gas leak detection system for high volume refrigerant areas which sets off an alarm to alert the user for safety and system protection purposes.

       

       

       

•       

FanSaver
This product regulates the speed of the evaporator fan motor to meet the needs of the refrigeration cycle in a walk-in box.  It also detects refrigerant flow and selects the optimum fan speed which saves energy usage and reduces compressor run time to increase the life of the fan motor.

       

       

       

•       

Services
GlobalNet offers product enhancements, installation and product servicing and maintenance support to its customers.

       In addition, GlobalNet is a registered “aggregator” with the Public Utility Commission of Texas.  As a registered aggregator, GlobalNet is authorized to act as an electricity buyer’s agent and can join two or more customers into a single purchasing unit to negotiate the purchase of electricity on behalf of a customer group.

       In December 2003, GlobalNet received Underwriters Laboratories, Inc. listing and labeling of its industrial control panels which confirms that they comply with the Standard for Industrial Control Panels UL508A.  This standard is the basis for acceptance for all of the National Building Codes such as BOCA, ICBO, SBCC and NFPA.  The UL listing and labeling status was required to allow GlobalNet to install its control panels into several national account test facilities.

       GlobalNet’s long-term goal is to target the commercial, industrial and governmental markets, initially utilizing direct sales by its executive team, then sub-distributors and an in-house sales staff.  GlobalNet also plans to conduct research and development efforts, which may include obtaining international rights from EnergyNSync, new product launches and product expansions with a view to increasing revenues, market expansion, name brand recognition and client loyalty.  We also will continue to develop our relationships with large electrical contractors, the restaurant industry and the large corporate dining clients of our food service division.

Business Strategy

Host Business Dining

       We introduced our “Food Serve 2000” as a means of evaluating all of our existing food operations in an attempt to maximize and maintain client satisfaction.  Each month we study the basic elements of our food service at each location, including:

       

•       

traffic flows and waiting times,

       

•       

menu variety and food presentation,

     

     

     

-44-


     

     

     

       

•       

nutritional assessment,

       

•       

work preparation, and

       

•       

labor qualifications.

       Through our continuing evaluations, on-site managers strive to maintain:

       

•       

strict cost containment policies,

       

•       

nutritional programs for better health,

       

•       

custom designed menus to meet regional and ethnic tastes, and

       

•       

facilities with state-of-the-art equipment.

       After our comprehensive evaluations, each facility is reviewed with the client to select the best possible combination of food and service.  This program allows us to make rapid changes at a given location before employee dissatisfaction results in a termination of a contract.  If a problem develops at a local level, management has the ability to rapidly deploy individuals specializing in the area and seek a solution.

Lindley Food Service

       We intend to aggressively pursue higher margin business such as the “meals-on-wheels” and other senior feeding programs.  We will focus on this market by attending trade shows and submitting more bids for this type of business, typically in the northeastern United States, however we are expanding our operations to other parts of the United States as well.  We have also entered the market for shelf stable meals for the elderly and victims of national disasters.  We hope to further increase market share through the expertise of industry consultants and an aggressive in-house sales force.  We will also seek additional acquisitions of related companies.

SelectForce

       We have completed an analysis and evaluation of our customer base, workflow procedures, vendor selection and competition in an effort to provide our client’s with ever-improving products and services.  As described above, we will continue to increase our focus on the education industry and other market sectors that are increasingly requiring background checks for their employees.  In our effort to establish contacts and promote our services, we intend to join professional associations and attend trade shows and conferences.

GlobalNet

       GlobalNet intends to expand its market base through direct market penetration of its multiple energy saving products.  This will be accomplished by targeting the market leader in each segment (retail, commercial, industrial, real estate, government and education) which is expected to bring credibility and name brand recognition to the energy saving and management product lines we offer.  In addition, GlobalNet intends to establish relationships with trade organizations that will endorse the products, and offer the sale of these products to companies that make up their industry.  The third avenue to market GlobalNet products, will be to cross sell the energy management products to Host’s current food service clients.  This process should streamline

-45-


GlobalNet’s entry into the marketplace, as relationships are already in place that will reduce the sales process leading to additional revenues.

Marketing

Host Business Dining and Lindley Food Service

       We selectively bid for privately owned facility contracts and contracts awarded by governmental and quasi-governmental agencies.  Other potential food service contracts come to our attention through:

       

•       

mail and telephone,

       

•       

conversations with suppliers, such as purveyors and vending machine suppliers,

       

•       

state listings,

       

•       

trade shows and conventions, and

       

•       

client referrals.

       New clients generally require that we submit a bid and make a proposal outlining a capital investment (if required) and other financial terms.  We may be required to make capital improvements to the client’s facility at the start of the contract to secure an account.  We also expend a great deal of time and effort preparing proposals and negotiating contracts.  In certain cases, a private-facility owner may choose to negotiate with us exclusively, in which case we do not have to participate in any bidding process.

       To attract office building clients, we constantly upgrade the quality of our food service and customer services.  We strive to provide menu items, which are healthy and higher quality than typical fast food or cafeteria style products.  Our philosophy is that to the extent our client’s employees are able to satisfy their food needs at their employer’s location, the less time those employees are away from their office setting.  We believe this results in an increase in corporate and individual productivity.  Further, if we can satisfy the employees with diverse and high-quality food items, employers are often willing to subsidize a portion of the costs.

       We believe that we can compete with the largest of our competitors because:

       

•       

we provide direct, personal contact with our clients two or three times a week,

       

•       

offer flexible menus to meet desires, and

       

•       

intensively train our managers.

       We were recently featured in the following articles in trade publications:

       

•       

In September 2002, Food Management Magazine did its cover story on Host.  The article focused on our venue into senior feeding through the Lindley acquisition, our commitment to providing quality meals and our overall rate of growth.

       

•       

The April 2003 issue of Food Management Magazine placed Host in the 39th spot (Host was 36th in 2001) on their “Contractor Top 50” list for calendar year 2002.

-46-


SelectForce

        We obtain a large number of our clients through referrals from other clients.  Other potential leads come to us through direct customer contact, trade shows, by mail and telephone solicitation, and from participation in professional associations.  We are constantly attempting to upgrade the quality and appearance of the information provided to our clients.  In our effort to attract potential clients, we look for ways to package services that will entice businesses to conduct a more comprehensive screening process and thus, engage our services.  We believe that if we can demonstrate a return on investment to businesses by reducing training costs, overhead and employee turnover, potential clients will be less likely to attempt to perform employee pre-screening internally.

GlobalNet

       GlobalNet will pursue a multi-channel approach in its marketing and sales strategy utilizing management, sub-distributors and an in-house sales staff concentrating on commercial and industrial customers.  As we achieve brand awareness through advertising, our website and industry and electric conservation seminars and exhibits to promote the products, we will attempt direct sales efforts to potential customers whom we believe are extremely sensitive to growing energy costs.  Management will be responsible to identify potential customers in a particular industry group and those persons within an organization to implement an energy savings program.  We will directly contact the energy decision makers at a particular company to explain our product line.  GlobalNet will then determine which products and services of EnergyNSync or other manufacturers will most benefit the customer and arrange for an onsite beta testing program and product modifications prior to installation.  Extensive follow up and testing of our system is conducted by an in-house technical staff and sub-distributors to insure customer satisfaction.  We believe that satisfied customers with proof of energy savings is an important element in marketing our products.

Acquisition Strategy

       We believe there are significant opportunities to further expand our business through the acquisition of companies in those industries which are compatible to the industries in which we operate with higher margins on revenues.  Our officers and directors are responsible for identifying, pursuing and negotiating potential acquisition candidates and integrating acquired operations.  We believe we can integrate acquired companies into our management structure and diversify operations successfully without a significant increase in general and administrative expenses.  In addition, future acquisitions are expected to enable us to lower overhead costs through centralized geographical office operations.  We would like to grow to a size that qualifies us for bids on larger volume accounts, requiring asset or purchase programs, however, there can be no assurance that our acquisition strategy will be successful.

Major Clients and Contracts

Host Business Dining

       We have a number of large, multi-year contracts among our 32 units.  Some of our larger contracts include:

       

•       

Pitney Bowes, Inc., of Stamford, Connecticut (currently 7 locations with over 4,500 employees),

       

•       

Oxford Health Plans, Inc., of Trumbull, Connecticut (currently 5 locations with over 4,000 employees),

       

•       

Georgia Pacific, of Norwalk, Connecticut (with over 1,000 employees), and

       

•       

Stanley Works of New Britain, Connecticut and East Greenwich, Rhode Island (with over 4,500 employees).

       Our two largest contracts, Oxford Health Plans and Pitney Bowes, accounted for 11% and 9%, respectively, of our total revenue for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2003.  If we were to lose either of these major contracts, such loss may have a material adverse effect on Host.

       During the fiscal year ended June 30, 2003, Host opened two gift shop facilities and closed seven facilities.  The new facilities are:

       

•       

Pitney Bowes Headquarters gift shop in Stamford, Connecticut, and

       

•       

Pitney Bowes Main Plant gift shop in Stamford, Connecticut.

       We closed facilities at:

       

•       

Ames Department Stores in Rocky Hill, Connecticut,

       

•       

Tyco in Eatontown, New Jersey,

       

•       

New England Business Systems in New Hampshire and Massachusetts,

       

•       

499 and New Leaf Café’s in Edison, New Jersey, and

       

•       

Merritt Crossing, Milford, Connecticut.

       The closures described above were a result of various reasons.  The Tyco, 499 and New Leaf Café’s and Merritt Crossing closures resulted from large reductions in respective company workforces, which decreased Host’s revenues at these locations.  We negotiated with these customers in an attempt to retain the business, but the parties could not come to a mutually beneficial agreement. Ames closed its operations due to bankruptcy and the New England Business Systems accounts decided to renew their contracts with another business dining service. We do not believe that the loss of these contracts will have a material adverse effect on our operations.

-48-


Lindley Food Service

       Our Lindley subsidiary has numerous “meals-on-wheels” and congregate feeding accounts, the largest of which are in New Haven, Bridgeport and Waterbury, Connecticut, Muncie, Indiana and Everett, Massachusetts.  Lindley provides school breakfasts and lunches for the New Haven, Bridgeport and Waterbury public schools.  During July and August 2002, Lindley provided breakfasts and lunches for the Hartford and Waterbury summer food programs.  Lindley was also awarded the contract with the Boston, Massachusetts public schools to provide emergency replacement meals for breakfast and sandwich items. The above referenced contract was awarded to Lindley after it had been the successful bidder for this business.  Most of Lindley’s contracts are secured in this manner because the majority of its business is with governmental agencies.  During the year, Lindley was also awarded the following elderly feeding programs:

       

•       

Meals on Wheels Etc., Lake Mary, Florida,

       

•       

Easter Seals of Winter Park, Florida,

       

•       

WestMass Elder Care, Inc., Holyoke, MA,

       

•       

Meals on Wheels of Rhode Island, Providence, RI, and

       

•       

Suburban Boston Consortium, Everett, MA.

       In mid-March 2003, after an unsuccessful attempt to negotiate a rate increase, Lindley terminated its contract with Indiana University – Area 9 in Muncie, Indiana.  In addition, Lindley lost the bids to renew its contracts with Team, Inc. and Community Action Agency.  Management does not believe that the loss of these three contracts will have a material adverse effect on operations.

       Lindley is currently involved in bids for several other “meals-on-wheels,” head-start and shelf stable meals contracts in various states and intends to continue to aggressively pursue this type of business.

SelectForce

       The majority of SelectForce’s revenues are from sales to customers in the health care or temporary employment industries.  Other customers include commercial businesses, schools and contractors who seek employment screening services.  While no customer of SelectForce accounts for over 3% of its total revenue, some of its more recognized customers include Manpower, Inc. and Great Plains Coca Cola, Inc.  Such clients are representative of SelectForce’s client base, although many of SelectForce’s clients do not have such widespread name recognition.

GlobalNet

       GlobalNet’s management has developed relationships with restaurant, retail and commercial chains.  GlobalNet recently installed its EnergyNSync (“ENS”) MotorMasterPlus product at a test site for a national restaurant chain at one of its stores outside of Boston, Mass.  It has also signed a contract to install its ENS MotorMasterPlus, LightMasterPlus and FanSaver at two Kansas City Sonic Restaurants owned by the Zahn Corporation, which operates twenty-five

-49-


Sonic Restaurants along with other interests, in the southwest area.  In addition, it has been in discussions to install test sites at one of the properties of a national REIT in the Boston area, a large liquor warehouse in Dallas, Texas, a large university also located in Texas and a supermarket chain located in the northwest region of the country.  GlobalNet installs these test sites at no cost if the customer has the potential for a large number of installations.  At the end of the test period, GlobalNet will receive payment for the test site if the customer decides to go forward with a commitment for additional locations.  If no commitment is given, GlobalNet removes the equipment from the test site.  In addition, GlobalNet has recently installed the MotorMasterPlus and LightMasterPlus in two of six warehouse locations of one of its current customers.

       GlobalNet has been approved as an aggregator in the state of Texas and is in the process of seeking similar approval in several other states.  As a registered aggregator, GlobalNet is authorized to act as an electricity buyer’s agent and can join two or more customers into a single purchasing unit to negotiate the purchase of electricity on behalf of a customer group.  GlobalNet currently receives aggregation revenue from some of its Texas customers.  In addition, several utility companies have voiced an interest in promoting our products to their business and residential clients.

Seasonality

       Our food service divisions are somewhat seasonal in nature.  Many of our corporate clients are less busy in the summer months due to the vacation schedules of their employees and shift reductions.  Special events catering tends to peak at various times of the year depending on corporate meetings, holiday parties and the frequency of special events.  We adjust our labor staffing and inventories as necessary during these periods.

Competition

Host Business Dining and Lindley Food Service

       We encounter significant competition locally and nationally in the contract food service market. Food service companies compete for clients on the basis of:

       

•       

quality and service standards,

       

•       

local economic conditions,

       

•       

innovative approaches to food service facility design, and

       

•       

maximization of sales and price (including the making of loans, advances and investments in client facilities and equipment).






-50-


       Competition may result in price reductions, decreased gross margins and loss of market share.  Certain of our competitors compete with us on a national basis and have greater financial and other resources than we have.  In addition, existing or potential clients may elect to “self operate” their food service, eliminating the opportunity for us to compete for their business.

SelectForce

       Our SelectForce subsidiary competes for clients on the basis of quality of information, timeliness and delivery of service.  Certain of our competitors are much larger companies and have greater financial and other resources than we do.  In addition, existing or potential clients may elect to perform their screening process in-house, thus eliminating the need for our services.

GlobalNet

       There are currently a number of products on the market that directly or indirectly compete with the EnergyNSync products.  Many of these products are offered by companies that are larger and better financed.  However, GlobalNet believes that although energy saving technology currently exists, its product is the only one capable of controlling, monitoring and saving energy, all in one product.  Our product also is capable of providing real-time variability of savings levels, alarm capabilities and operational control at offsite locations.

       GlobalNet believes that our EnergyNSync (“ENS”) MotorMasterPlus and LightMasterPlus products have certain qualities and advantages over those sold by our competitors.  Our equipment processor is digital, which is faster, more compact and more efficient than our competitors’ analog processors.  The installation of our equipment is less invasive and creates less of a disruption to a customer’s operation than that of our competition.  Our equipment can generate power savings during the entire running time of a motor while we believe many of our competitors’ products can only save power during a motor’s down time.  Another advantage of our equipment is that it can provide continuous savings without affecting any mechanical changes to the way the motors were designed.

Government Regulation

General

       Our business is subject to various government regulations including environmental, employment, privacy and safety regulations.  In addition, our food service facilities are subject to state health department regulations, yearly health inspections, sanitation and safety standards, and state and local licensing of the sale of food products.  The cost of compliance with these various regulations is not material; however, we cannot assure you that additional federal and state legislation or changes in the regulatory environment will not limit our activities in the future or increase the cost of compliance.

-51-


Energy Management

       New government regulations, through The Energy Policy Act of 1992 ("EPACT"), are changing the competitive environment in the electric generation and AC motor industries. EPACT has brought sweeping changes to the electric industry. These changes include allowing for directcompetition among wholesale power suppliers and mandating use of more efficient electric motors.  In the U.S., electric volatility is already high relative to other industrial economies. While many formerly state-owned electric utilities are becoming independent business entities through deregulation, the regulation of the electric industry remains high.  AC motor manufacturers are being forced to comply with more stringent environmental performance requirements to make motors more efficient. These requirements put added pressure on smaller companies who do not have the research and development resources of larger competitors.  State and Federal agencies are demanding the reduction of usage, while offering tax and product purchase incentives and allowances to customers that meet certain saving criteria.

Employees

       As of June 30, 2004, Host Business Dining had 182 full-time employees and 20 part-time employees employed for special occasions and seasonal busy times.  Our Lindley subsidiary had 130 full-time employees and 32 part-time employees.  Our SelectForce subsidiary had 9 full-time employees and 1 part-time employee.  Our GlobalNet subsidiary had 12 full-time employees and 1 part-time employee.  None of our employees are represented by a union.

Facilities

       Our corporate offices are located at Two Broadway, Hamden, Connecticut 06518.  Our telephone number is (203) 248-4100.  Lindley’s corporate offices are located at 201 Wallace Street, New Haven, Connecticut 06511.  SelectForce’s corporate offices are located at 200 N.W. 66th Street, Suite 972, Oklahoma City, Oklahoma 73116.  GlobalNet’s corporate offices are located at 1840 Hutton Drive, Suite 130, Carrollton, Texas 75006.

       We lease our executive offices under the terms of a month-to-month lease agreement, with a monthly payment of $3,335.  We lease our Lindley executive office facility in New Haven, Connecticut pursuant to a five (5) year lease which commenced on April 1, 2000, with a monthly payment of $11,075.  We lease our SelectForce executive offices in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma pursuant to the terms of a five (5) year lease agreement that commenced on July 1, 2002, with a monthly payment of $3,728.  We lease our GlobalNet executive offices in Carrollton, Texas pursuant to the terms of a three-year lease agreement that commenced on September 15, 2003, with a monthly payment of $6,666.

LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

We are not a party to any material legal proceedings and there are no such proceedings which are known to be contemplated for which we anticipate a material risk of loss.

       All directors will hold office until their successors have been elected and qualified.  Our articles of incorporation, as amended, provide that the members of our board of directors shall be divided into three classes, as nearly equal in number as possible, with one class being elected each year.  Directors in each class are elected for three-year terms.

       Each of the officers of Host provides services to Host on a full time basis.  Other than officers who are subject to employment agreements, as described elsewhere, each officer serves at the discretion of the board of directors.

2003 Stock Option Plan

       On September 12, 2002, the board of directors of Host adopted the 2003 Stock Option Plan and the 2003 plan was approved by Host’s shareholders at its 2003 annual meeting.  The purpose of the 2003 plan is to provide a means whereby directors and selected employees, officers, agents, consultants and independent contractors of Host or of any parent or subsidiary thereof, each as defined through reference to a 50% ownership threshold, may be granted incentive stock options and/or nonqualified stock options to purchase shares of common stock in order to attract and retain the services or advice of such directors, employees, officers, agents, consultants, and independent contractors and to provide an additional incentive for such persons to exert maximum efforts for the success of Host and its affiliates by encouraging stock ownership in Host.

Description of the 2003 Plan

       The maximum number of shares of common stock with respect to which awards may be presently granted pursuant to the 2003 plan is five hundred thousand (500,000) shares.  Shares issuable under the 2003 Plan may be either treasury shares or authorized but unissued shares.  The number of shares available for issuance will be subject to adjustment to prevent dilution in the event of stock splits, stock dividends or other changes in the capitalization of Host.

       Subject to compliance with Rule 16b-3 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”), the 2003 plan is administered by the board of directors of Host or, in the event the board shall appoint and/or authorize a committee, such as the compensation committee, of two or more members of the board to administer the 2003 plan, by such committee (the “Plan Administrator”).  Except for the terms and conditions explicitly set forth in the 2003 Plan, and

-59-


subject to applicable provisions of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”) the Plan Administrator shall have the authority, in its discretion, to determine all matters relating to the options to be granted under the plan, including, without limitation, selection of whether an option will be an incentive stock option or a nonqualified stock option, selection of the individuals to be granted options, the number of shares to be subject to each option, the exercise price per share, the timing of grants and all other terms and conditions of the options.

       The following table sets forth certain information regarding grants of stock options to our executive officers listed in the summary compensation table who received stock options during fiscal year 2004.  The fair value of the option grant was estimated on the date of the grant based on the then market price of Host’s common stock.

Indemnification of Directors and Executive Officers and Limitation of Liability

       Section 7-108-402 of the Colorado Business Corporation Act (the “Act”) provides, generally, that the articles of incorporation of a Colorado corporation may contain a provision eliminating or limiting the personal liability of a director to the corporation or its shareholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director; except that any such provision may not eliminate or limit the liability of a director (i) for any breach of the director’s duty of loyalty to the corporation or its shareholders, (ii) acts or omissions not in good faith or which involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law, (iii) acts specified in Section 7-108-403 (concerning unlawful distributions), or (iv) any transaction from which a director directly or indirectly derived an improper personal benefit.  Such provision may not eliminate or limit the liability of a director for any act or omission occurring prior to the date on which such provision becomes effective.  Host’s articles of incorporation contain a provision eliminating liability as permitted by the statute.  Host’s articles of incorporation further provide that directors and officers of Host will not be held personally liable for any injury to persons or property caused by the wrongful act of any employee of Host unless either (i) the director or officer was personally involved in the situation leading to litigation or (ii) the director or officer committed a criminal offense in connection with such litigation.

       Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 (the “Act”) may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons pursuant to the foregoing

-61-


provisions, or otherwise, we have been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Act and is, therefore, unenforceable.

       We lease approximately 3,000 square feet of office space in Bridgeport, Connecticut for our wholly-owned subsidiary, Lindley Food Services, Inc. from Gilbert Rossomando, the President of Lindley and a director, and Mark Cerreta, the Executive Vice President of Lindley and a principal shareholder.  The rent on the lease is $3,000 per month.  We believe this is a competitive lease rate for similar real estate in the Bridgeport, Connecticut area where the office is located.  All future transactions with management must be reviewed and approved by all of Host’s independent directors.

       From November 1, 2002 through February 28, 2003, Host privately placed 59 units at $25,000 per unit, each unit consisting of one 12% unsecured promissory note in the amount of $25,000 due January 31, 2008 and one warrant to purchase 7,080 shares of Host’s common stock at an exercise price of $2.00, exercisable from December 31, 2003 to January 31, 2008.  The units were offered and sold on a best efforts basis by officers and directors of Host and by View Trade Securities, Inc., a licensed NASD broker-dealer.  View Trade Securities, Inc. received a commission of 10% of the gross proceeds from the units sold by it (commission payments totaled $122,500).  Roger Lockhart, a registered representative of View Trade Securities, Inc., is a major shareholder of Host.  Officers and directors of Host did not receive any commission or other remuneration for units sold by them.  Of the 59 units sold, officers, directors and affiliates, including Mr. Lockhart, purchased a total of 18 units for a purchase price of $450,000.

       On August 11, 2003, Host privately offered and sold 266,667 shares of its newly created series B convertible preferred stock to Roger Lockhart, a major shareholder, for an aggregate purchase price of $400,000, or $1.50 per share.  The preferences and conversion rights of the series B convertible preferred stock are disclosed elsewhere in this report.

       Messrs. Rossomando and Cerreta, the President and Executive Vice President of our Lindley subsidiary, notified us that they would be electing to exercise a portion of their earnings interest in the Lindley profits, which they are entitled to pursuant to the share purchase agreement between Host and Lindley.  Pursuant to the share purchase agreement, Host is obligated to pay Messrs. Rossomando and Cerreta $372,700, in the aggregate, for their earnings interest for the two (2) year periods ended June 30, 2003 and 2002.  The balance due Messrs. Rossomando and Cerreta is $188,700, in the aggregate, as of December 31, 2003.  Host is repaying this obligation in monthly installments of $10,000 plus 12% interest.

       From October 1, 2003 through December 31,2003, Host privately placed 500,000 shares of common stock at $5.00 per share with 24 investors.  The shares were offered and sold on a best efforts basis by officers and directors of Host and by View Trade Securities, Inc., a licensed NASD broker-dealer.  View Trade Securities, Inc. received a commission of 10% of the gross proceeds from the shares sold by it.  In addition, for every 10 shares of common stock sold, View Trade or its agent received one warrant to purchase one share of common stock at $5.50 per share, exercisable for a period of 5 years.  Roger Lockhart, a registered representative of View Trade Securities, Inc. is a major shareholder of Host.  Officers and directors of Host did not receive any commission or other remuneration for shares sold by them.

       On December 23, 2003, Host acquired GlobalNet as a wholly-owned subsidiary and the shareholders of GlobalNet received in the aggregate, 550,000 shares of Host’s common stock in exchange for all of their outstanding common stock.  Roger Lockhart, a principal shareholder of Host, was also a principal shareholder of GlobalNet and had provided GlobalNet with approximately $800,000 in loans, which have subsequently been assumed by Host.  In connection with Host’s acquisition of GlobalNet, Mr. Lockhart’s 11,000 shares of GlobalNet common stock were converted into 60,500 shares of Host common stock.

       As a result of the acquisition of GlobalNet, Host is related to certain entities through common ownership.  Specifically, former GlobalNet shareholders who are now Host shareholders and/or officers of Host’s GlobalNet subsidiary are principals in EnergyNSync, RS Services and K.W.M. Electronics Corporation.  EnergyNSync is the owner of certain technology, which makes up proprietary software used in the GlobalNet products.  EnergyNSync currently has a production agreement with K.W.M Electronics, an affiliated manufacturer, to install this software on the circuit boards used in production of the GlobalNet products.  EnergyNSync currently has these boards shipped to RS Services, another affiliated entity, where final assembly of the control panels is completed.  The finished control panels are then sold to GlobalNet by EnergyNSync.  K.W.M. Electronics and RS Services currently do not have agreements directly with GlobalNet; however, RS Services has performed site surveys and installations and has been paid by GlobalNet for these services.  GlobalNet has entered into a license/distribution agreement with EnergyNSync, providing GlobalNet with certain distribution rights to the EnergyNSync technology and products.  Certain officers, directors and majority shareholders of Host, including Peter Sarmanian and Roger Lockhart, are controlling shareholders of EnergyNSync.  In addition, Roger Lockhart and two other former GlobalNet shareholders who are now shareholders of Host, comprise the board of directors of EnergyNSync.  Accordingly, the terms and conditions of the license/distribution agreement should not be deemed arms length in nature.

       From January 12, 2004 through May 27, 2004, Host privately placed 80 units at $25,000 per unit, each unit consisting of one 7.5% unsecured promissory note in the amount of $25,000 due January 31, 2009 and one warrant to purchase 7,500 shares of Host’s common stock at an exercise price of $10.00, exercisable from December 31, 2004 to January 31, 2009.  The Units were offered and sold on a best efforts basis by officers and directors of Host and by View Trade Securities, Inc., a licensed NASD broker-dealer.  View Trade Securities, Inc. received a commission of 10% of the gross proceeds from the units sold by it (commission payments totaled $192,500).  In addition, for every unit sold, View Trade or its agent received one warrant to purchase 750 shares of common stock at $10.00 per share exercisable for a period of 5 years.  Roger Lockhart, a registered representative of View Trade Securities, Inc., is a major shareholder of Host.  Officers and directors of Host did not receive any commission or other remuneration for units sold by them.  Of the 80 units sold, officers, directors and affiliates, including Mr. Lockhart, purchased a total of 6 units for a purchase price of $150,000.

DESCRIPTION OF SECURITIES

Common Stock

       We are authorized to issue up to 80,000,000 shares of common stock, $0.001 par value.  As of June 30, 2004, there were 4,117,491 shares of common stock issued and outstanding.  All shares of common stock have equal voting rights and, when validly issued and outstanding, have one vote per share in all matters to be voted upon by shareholders.  As of June 30, 2004, there were approximately 1,158 beneficial holders of our common stock.

       The shares of common stock have no preemptive, subscription, conversion or redemption rights and may be issued only as fully paid and non-assessable shares.  Cumulative voting in the election of directors is not allowed, which means that the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares represented at any meeting at which a quorum is present will be able to elect all of the directors if they choose to do so and, in such event, the holders of the remaining shares will not be able to elect any directors.  On liquidation, each common shareholder is entitled to receive a pro rata share of our assets available for distribution to common stockholders.

Preferred Stock

       The board of directors are empowered, without approval of our shareholders, to cause up to 2,000,000 shares of preferred stock to be issued in one or more series and to establish the number of shares to be included in each such series and the designations, preferences, limitations and relative rights, including voting rights, of the shares of any series.  Because the board of directors has the power to establish the preferences and rights of each series, it may afford the holders of any series of preferred stock preferences, powers and rights, voting or otherwise, senior to the rights of holders of common stock.  This includes, among other things, voting rights, conversion privileges, dividend rates, redemption rights, sinking fund provisions and liquidation rights which shall be superior to the common stock.  The issuance of shares of preferred stock could have the effect of delaying or preventing a change in control.  With the exception of the preferred stock described below, no shares of preferred stock will be outstanding at the close of this offering, and the board of directors has no current plans to issue any additional shares of preferred stock.

Series B Convertible Preferred Stock

        There are currently 266,667 shares of series B preferred stock issued to one affiliate.  The series B preferred stock has various preferences and conversion rights, including the right to receive a cumulative distribution at the rate of 8% per share per annum, payable semi-annually on or before the day of Host’s fiscal quarters ending December 31st and June 30th.  Furthermore, the series B preferred stock is convertible for a period of 5 years from the issue date (August 11, 2003) into shares of Host’s common stock according to the conversion ratio set forth in the articles of amendment to the articles of incorporation.  Initially, the conversion ratio is one-for-one.  The articles of amendment also set forth the other preferences, conversion and other rights, voting powers, limitations as to distributions and qualifications of the series B preferred stock.

-69-


Dividend Policy

       Dividends are payable on common stock when, as, and if declared by the board of directors out of funds legally available to pay dividends, subject to any preferences which may be given to holders of preferred stock.  We have paid no cash dividends on our common stock to date and do not anticipate payment of cash dividends in the foreseeable future.

Warrants

       The following is a brief summary of the material provisions of the publicly-traded warrants and is qualified in all respects by reference to the actual text of the warrant agreement between Host and Computershare Investor Services, the warrant agent.

       Exercise Price and Terms.  Each warrant entitles the holder thereof to purchase, at any time from the effective date of this prospectus through June 21, 2005, one share of common stock at a price of $5.50 per share, subject to adjustment in accordance with the anti-dilution and other provisions referred to below.

       The holder of any warrant may exercise such warrant by surrendering the certificate representing the warrant to the warrant agent, with the subscription form on the reverse side of such certificate properly completed and executed, together with payment of the exercise price.  The warrants may be exercised at any time in whole or in part at the applicable exercise price until expiration of the warrants.  No fractional shares will be issued upon the exercise of the warrants.

       Commencing after the effective date of this offering, the warrants are subject to redemption by Host at $0.25 per warrant on 30 days written notice if the closing bid or trading price of our common stock, as applicable, over 30 consecutive days ending within 10 days of the notice of redemption averages at least $10.00.  We are required to maintain an effective registration statement with respect to the common stock underlying the warrants at the time of redemption of the warrants.  In the event we exercise the right to redeem the warrants, such warrants will be exercisable until the close of business on the date for redemption fixed in such notice.  If any warrant called for redemption is not exercised by such time, it will cease to be exercisable and the holder will be entitled only to the redemption price.  Redemption of the warrants could force warrant holders either to:

       

•       

exercise the warrants and pay the exercise price thereof at a time when it may be less advantageous economically to do so, or

       

       

       

       

•       

accept the redemption price in consideration for cancellation of the warrant, which could be substantially less than the market value thereof at the time of redemption redeemed without consent.

-70-


       The exercise price of the warrants bears no relation to any objective criteria of value and should in no event be regarded as an indication of any future market price of the securities offered hereby.

       We have authorized and reserved for issuance a sufficient number of shares of common stock to accommodate the exercise of all warrants.  All shares of common stock to be issued upon exercise of the warrants, if exercised in accordance with their terms, will be validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable.

       Adjustments.  The exercise price and the number of shares of common stock purchasable upon exercise of the warrants are subject to adjustment upon the occurrence of certain events, including stock dividends, stock splits, combinations or reclassification of the common stock, or sale by Host of shares of our common stock (or other securities convertible into or exercisable for common stock) at a price per share or share equivalent below the then-applicable exercise price of the warrants or then-current market price of the common stock.  Additionally, an adjustment would be made in the case of a reclassification or exchange of common stock, consolidation or merger of Host with or into another corporation, or sale of all or substantially all of the assets of Host, in order to enable warrant holders to acquire the kind and number of shares of stock or other securities or property receivable in such event by a holder of that number of shares of common stock that would have been issued upon exercise of the warrant immediately prior to such event.  No adjustments will be made until the cumulative adjustments in the exercise price per share amount to $.05 or more.  No adjustment to the exercise price of the shares subject to the warrants will be made for dividends (other than stock dividends), if any, paid on the common stock or pursuant to our stock option plan or other employee benefit plans, or upon exercise of the warrants, the underwriter’s warrant or any other options or warrants outstanding as of the effective date of this prospectus.

       Transfer, Exchange and Exercise.  The warrants are in registered form and may be presented to the warrant agent for transfer, exchange or exercise at any time prior to their expiration date, at which time the warrants become wholly void and of no value.  If a market for the warrants develops, the holder may sell the warrants instead of exercising them.  There can be no assurance, however, that a market for the warrants will develop or continue.  If we are unable to qualify for sale in particular states the common stock underlying the warrants, holders of the warrants residing in such states and desiring to exercise the warrants will have no choice but to sell such warrants or allow them to expire.

       Warrant Holder Not a Shareholder.  The warrants do not confer upon holders any voting or any other rights as shareholders.

-71-


Reports to Shareholders

       We file periodic reports, including annual reports containing our consolidated financial statements audited by independent public accountants, and quarterly reports, which contain unaudited financial statements, with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Stock Transfer Agent and Warrant Agent

       The transfer agent for our common stock and the warrant agent for the warrants is Computershare Investor Services, 350 Indiana Street, Suite 800, Golden, Colorado 80401.

CHANGES IN AND DISAGREEMENTS WITH ACCOUNTANTS ON ACCOUNTING AND FINANCIAL DISCLOSURE

       As previously reported on Form 8-K filed October 17, 2002 and Form 8-K/A filed October 25, 2002, DiSanto Bertoline & Company, P.C. resigned as Host’s independent auditors on October 16, 2002 and was replaced by Carlin, Charron & Rosen, LLP.  DiSanto Bertoline’s resignation resulted from that firm’s merger with Carlin, Charron & Rosen, LLP effective October 16, 2002.

       On June 28, 2004, J.H. Cohn, LLP replaced Carlin, Charron & Rosen, LLP as Host’s independent registered public accounting firm.  Host’s audit committee approved and ratified the change of accountants from Carlin to Cohn.

       Carlin, the independent registered public accounting firm previously was engaged to audit Host’s financial statements, was replaced as auditors for Host on June 28, 2004.  Carlin’s reports on Host’s consolidated financial statements for each of the years ended 2002 and 2003 did not contain an adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion, nor were they qualified as to audit scope or accounting principles.  However, their report for the year ended June 30, 2002 was modified to include an explanatory paragraph which indicated substantial doubt regarding Host’s ability to continue operations as a going concern.

-72-


       During the years ended June 30, 2002 and June 30, 2003 and the subsequent interim periods through June 28, 2004, the date of resignation, there were no disagreements with Carlin on any matter of accounting principle or practice, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure which, if not resolved to Carlin’s satisfaction, would have caused them to make reference to the subject matter in connection with their report on Host’s consolidated financial statements for such years; and there were no reportable events as defined in Item 304(a)(1)(iv) of Regulation S-B.

       During the years ended June 30, 2002 and 2003, including the subsequent interim period through June 28, 2004, Host did not consult Cohn with respect to the application of accounting principles to a specified transaction, either completed or proposed, or the type of audit opinion that might be rendered on Host’s consolidated financial statements, or any other matters or reportable events as set forth in Items 304(a)(2)(i) and (ii) of Regulation S-B.

PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION

       We shall issue the common stock upon the exercise of the warrants by the holders thereof.  Warrants may be exercised by surrendering the certificate evidencing such warrant, with the form of election to purchase on the reverse side of such certificate properly completed and executed, together with payment of the exercise price and any transfer tax, to us.  If less than all of the warrants evidenced by a warrant certificate are exercised, a new certificate will be issued for the remaining number of warrants.  Payment of the exercise price may be made by cash, wire, bank draft or official bank or certified check equal to the exercise price or by cashless exercise in which event the number of shares to be purchased shall be determined by dividing (i) the number obtained by multiplying the number of shares that are the subject of the warrant by the amount, if any, by which the fair market value of our common stock exceeds the exercise price per share by (ii) the per share exercise price.  We will be prevented, however, from issuing common stock upon exercise of the warrants in certain circumstances.  See “Risk Factors.”

       If any soliciting broker-dealers solicit warrant exercises and have not been granted an exemption by the SEC, they will be prohibited from engaging in any market-making activities with respect to our securities for either two or nine business days, depending on the market price of the common stock, prior to any solicitation activity for the exercise of warrants until the later of the termination of such solicitation activity or the termination of any right to receive a fee for the exercise of warrants following such solicitation.  As a result, any soliciting broker-dealers may be unable to provide a market for our securities, should they desire to do so, during certain periods while the warrants are exercisable.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS’ REPORT

To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of
  Host America Corporation

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of Host America Corporation and subsidiaries (the Company) as of June 30, 2003, and the related consolidated statements of loss and comprehensive loss, changes in stockholders’ equity, and cash flows for the year then ended.  These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management.  Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audit.

We conducted our audit 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 management, as well as evaluating the overall consolidated financial statement presentation.  We believe that our audit provides 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 Host America Corporation and subsidiaries as of June 30, 2003, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for the year then ended in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS’ REPORT

To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of
  Host America Corporation

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of Host America Corporation and subsidiaries (the Company) as of June 30, 2002, and the related consolidated statements of income and comprehensive income, changes in stockholders’ equity, and cash flows for the year then ended.  These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management.  Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audit.

We conducted our audit in accordance with U.S. generally accepted auditing standards.  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 management, as well as evaluating the overall consolidated financial statement presentation.  We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our report dated August 20, 2002, our opinion on the June 30, 2002 consolidated financial statements contained an explanatory paragraph indicating that conditions existed that raised substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.  These conditions arose as a result of the Company’s default of a certain loan covenant providing the bank with the ability to demand repayment of the outstanding loans.  As described in Note 8, the Company entered into a Modification and Reaffirmation Agreement with its bank on July 31, 2003.  Accordingly, our present opinion on the 2002 consolidated financial statements, as presented herein, does not contain the going concern uncertainty reflected in our pervious report.

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Host America Corporation and subsidiaries as of June 30, 2002, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for the year then ended in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

HOST AMERICA CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
JUNE 30, 2003 AND 2002

NOTE 1 -

   

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

   

   

   

NATURE OF OPERATIONS

   

   

   

   

   

Host America Corporation (“Host”) was incorporated in Delaware on February 6, 1986 with the name University Dining Services, Inc.  On March 9, 1998, Host filed a certificate of amendment changing its name to Host America Corporation, and during fiscal 1999 changed its state of incorporation from Delaware to Colorado.  Host is a contract food management organization, which specializes in providing management of corporate dining rooms and cafeterias and such ancillary services as special event catering and office coffee service to business and industry accounts located in the Northeast.  In July 2000, Host purchased all of the issued and outstanding shares of Lindley Food Service Corporation (“Lindley”) Lindley provides unitized meals primarily under fixed-price contracts for governmental programs in Connecticut and Massachusetts.  On August 30, 2001, Host acquired all of the assets of Contra-Pak, Inc. (“Contra-Pak”).  Contra-Pak, operating as a division of Lindley, specializes in shelf stable meals for programs such as “meals-on-wheels” and disaster relief programs.  On March 28, 2002, Host purchased all of the issued and outstanding shares of Selectforce, Inc. (“Select”).  Select is a regional employment and drug screening company.

   

   

   

   

   

PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION

   

   

   

   

   

The consolidated financial statements presented as of and for the years ended June 30, 2003 and 2002 include the accounts of Host and its wholly-owned subsidiaries Lindley and Select, (combined the “Company”).  All material intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.

   

   

   

   

   

FISCAL YEAR

   

   

   

   

   

In fiscal 2002, the Company changed its fiscal year end from the last Friday in June to June 30th.

   

   

   

   

   

USE OF ESTIMATES

   

   

   

   

   

The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

   

   

   

   

   

CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS

   

   

   

   

   

For the purpose of the statement of cash flows, the Company defines cash equivalents as highly liquid instruments with an original maturity of three months or less.  The Company had no cash equivalents at June 30, 2003 and 2002.

HOST AMERICA CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
JUNE 30, 2003 AND 2002

NOTE 1 -

   

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

   

   

   

INVENTORY

   

   

   

   

   

Inventory consists primarily of food supplies and is stated at the lower of cost or market, with cost determined on a first-in, first-out basis.

   

   

   

   

   

PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT

   

   

   

   

   

Property and equipment is stated at cost.  Upon retirement or disposition of depreciable properties, the cost and related accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts and any resulting gain or loss is reflected in the results of operations.  Depreciation and amortization are computed by applying the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the related assets, which range from three to ten years.

   

   

   

   

   

Maintenance, repairs and minor renewals are charged to operations as incurred.  Expenditures which substantially increase the useful lives of the related assets are capitalized.

   

   

   

   

   

CUSTOMER LISTS

   

   

   

   

   

The carrying values of the Lindley and Select customer lists are being amortized over their estimated useful lives of fifteen and seven years, respectively.

   

   

   

   

   

GOODWILL

   

   

   

   

   

Effective July 1, 2001, the Company adopted SFAS No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets, which requires companies to stop amortizing goodwill and certain intangible assets with indefinite useful lives.  Instead, goodwill and intangible assets deemed to have an indefinite useful life are subject to an annual review for impairment. 

   

   

   

   

   

REVENUE RECOGNITION

   

   

   

   

   

We derive our revenues from business dining management, the sale of unitized meals and employment screening services.  We follow Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 101, “Revenue Recognition in Financial Statements.”   We recognize revenue when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, we have delivered the product or performed the service, the fee is fixed or determinable and collectibility is probable.

   

   

   

   

   

Business Dining.  Host recognizes business dining revenues at the time the cafeteria and catering services are performed.  In addition, Host recognizes commissions on vending sales from third parties during the period in which the commissions are earned.

   

   

   

   

   

Unitized Meals.  Most of Lindley’s unitized meals programs are awarded through a competitive bidding process for fixed priced contracts of various governmental agencies.  Lindley recognizes revenues generated by these senior feeding and school breakfast and lunch programs when the meals are delivered daily to the various congregate feeding sites and schools, respectively.

NOTE 1 -

   

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES(Continued)

   

   

   

REVENUE RECOGNITION (continued)

   

   

   

   

   

Employment Screening.  SelectForce recognizes revenues from its employment screening and other related services when the requested investigative reports are delivered to the client.

   

   

   

   

   

INCOME TAXES

   

   

   

   

   

The Company recognizes deferred tax liabilities and assets for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been included in the consolidated financial statements or tax returns. Deferred tax liabilities and assets are determined based on the differences between the consolidated financial statements and tax bases of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to reverse.

   

   

   

   

   

NET INCOME (LOSS) PER COMMON SHARE

   

   

   

   

   

Net income (loss) per common share was computed based upon 2,178,234 and 1,644,288 weighted average shares outstanding during the years ended June 30, 2003 and June 30, 2002, respectively.  Dilutive earnings per share is not presented as the potentially dilutive convertible preferred stock, stock purchase options and warrants are anti-dilutive.  Convertible preferred shares subject to future dilution totaled 700,000.  Shares under stock purchase options totaled 700,850 and 488,350, and shares under warrants totaled 1,600,412 and 1,182,692 at June 30, 2003 and 2002, respectively.

   

   

   

   

   

COMPREHENSIVE INCOME (LOSS)

   

   

   

   

   

Comprehensive income (loss), which is reported on the accompanying consolidated statement of changes in stockholders’ equity as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss), consists of net income (loss) and other gains and losses affecting stockholders’ equity that, under accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, are excluded from net income (loss).  For the Company, comprehensive income (loss) consists of gains and losses on the Company’s interest rate swap.

   

   

   

   

   

SEGMENT INFORMATION

   

   

   

   

   

The Company’s primary operating segments are the management of corporate dining (Host), the preparation of unitized meals (Lindley) and employment screening services (Select).

   

   

   

   

   

DERIVATIVE

   

   

   

   

   

The Company’s interest rate swap, which is carried at fair market value on the accompanying consolidated balance sheets, is used to manage liquidity and interest rate exposure (see Note 9).  The Company entered into this agreement with a major financial institution.

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

   

   

   

   

   

STOCK COMPENSATION PLANS

   

   

   

   

   

The Company accounts for stock option awards granted to officers, directors and employees (collectively “employees”) under the recognition and measurement principles of Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees (“APB 25”).  Under APB 25, no stock-based employee compensation cost is reflected in net income, as all options granted to employees under these plans have been granted at no less than fair market value on the date of grant.  The Company applies the disclosure only provisions of Financial Accounting Standards Board Statement (“SFAS”) No. 123, Accounting for Stock-based Compensation (“SFAS 123”) and SFAS No. 148, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation –Transition and Disclosure (“SFAS 148”) for such employee stock option awards.

   

   

   

   

   

STOCK COMPENSATION PLANS (Continued)

   

   

   

   

   

Had compensation cost for the Company’s stock option plans been determined in accordance with the fair value-based method prescribed under SFAS 123, the Company’s net income (loss) and basic and diluted net income (loss) per share would have approximated the pro forma amounts indicated below:

The fair value of stock options used to compute pro forma net income (loss) and net income (loss) per share disclosures was estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model with the following weighted average assumptions:  dividend yield of 0% for 2003 and 2002; expected volatility of 60% for 2003 and 86% for 2002; average risk-free interest rate of 3.4% for 2003 and 4.8% for 2002; and an expected option holding period of 10 years for 2003 and 2002.

                    

   

   

                    

   

RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

                    

   

   

                    

   

During fiscal 2003, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statements of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) Nos. 146, Accounting for Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities and 147, Acquisitions of Certain Financial Institutions – an Amendment of FASB Statements No. 72 and 144 and FASB Interpretation No. 9, 149, Amendment of Statement 133 on Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities, and 150, Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with Characteristics of Both Liabilities and Equity.  The Company is not impacted by these statements and does not expect their implementation to have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements.

ACQUISITIONS

   

   

   

   

   

On August 30, 2001, the Company acquired all of the assets of Contra-Pak, Inc. (“Contra-Pak”), a food service company based in Dallas, Texas which specializes in shelf stable meals for “meals-on-wheels” and disaster relief programs.  Contra-Pak’s assets were acquired for $159,635 in cash and 56,911 shares of common stock. The Company entered into a three-year employment agreement with Contra-Pak’s former President.  The acquisition was accounted for using the purchase method of accounting and, accordingly, the purchase price has been allocated to the assets purchased based upon their fair values at the date of acquisition.   The excess of the purchase price over the fair value of the assets acquired was approximately $279,000 and has been recognized as goodwill.

   

   

   

   

   

The purchase price was allocated to the assets acquired (no liabilities were assumed) based upon their estimated fair values as follows:

Property and equipment

         

  $20,870

Goodwill

         

  278,765

Total purchase price

         

$299,635

                    

   

On March 28, 2002, the Company purchased all of the issued and outstanding shares of Select for a total purchase price, including acquisition costs, of approximately $2,278,000. The Company issued 700,000 shares of common stock in exchange for all of the outstanding shares of Select.  Select is a regional employment and drug screening company. The acquisition was accounted for using the purchase method of accounting and, accordingly, the purchase price has been allocated to the assets purchased and the liabilities assumed based upon their fair values at the date of acquisition. The excess of the purchase price over the fair value of the net assets acquired was approximately $1,302,000 and has been recognized as goodwill.

As of June 30, 2003, Lindley’s and Contra-Pak’s goodwill was tested for impairment by an independent valuation firm utilizing appropriate methodologies.  The goodwill of Select was tested for impairment utilizing methodologies employed by management.  Based on the results of these tests, management has determined that there has not been any further impairment of goodwill.

FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

   

   

   

   

   

CONCENTRATIONS OF CREDIT RISK

   

   

   

   

The Company’s financial instruments that are exposed to concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of cash, accounts receivable, and interest rate swap.

   

   

   

   

   

m       

Cash – The Company places its cash and temporary cash investments with high credit quality institutions.  At times, such investments may be in excess of the federal depository insurance limit.  The Company has cash balances on deposit with banks at June 30, 2003 that exceed federal depository insurance limits by approximately $490,000.

   

   

   

m       

Accounts receivable – One major customer comprised 18% and 19% of accounts receivable as of June 30, 2003 and 2002, respectively. Net revenues from individual customers which exceeded ten percent of total net revenues during the years ended June 30, 2003 and 2002 were 11% (1 customer) and 0% (noindividual customers exceeded 10%), respectively.  The Company reviews a customer’s credit history before extending credit and typically does not require collateral.  The Company establishes an allowance for doubtful accounts based upon factors surrounding the credit risk of specific customers, historical trends, and other information. Such losses have been within management’s expectations.

   

   

   

   

   

m

Interest rate swap – The Company is exposed to credit loss in the event of nonperformance by the counter-party of the interest rate swap agreement.  The counter-party is a major financial institution and the Company does not anticipate nonperformance.

FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

   

   

   

   

Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 107, Fair Value of Financial Instruments, requires disclosure of the fair value of financial instruments for which the determination of fair value is practicable.  SFAS No. 107 defines the fair value of a financial instrument as the amount at which the instrument could be exchanged in a current transaction between willing parties.

   

   

   

   

   

The carrying amount of the Company’s financial instruments approximates their fair value as outlined below:

   

   

   

   

   

m       

Cash, accounts receivable and accounts payable – The carrying amounts approximate their fair value because of the short maturity of those instruments.

   

   

   

   

m       

Demand note payable and long-term debt – The carrying amounts approximate their fair value as the interest rates on the debt approximates the Company’s current incremental borrowing rate.

   

   

   

   

   

   

m       

Subordinated debt – The fair value is estimated by discounting the future cash flows using the current rates offered by lenders for similar borrowings with similar credit ratings.  Due to the subordinated nature of the debt, the fair value approximates carrying value.

   

   

   

   

   

   

m       

Interest rate swap – The fair value of the interest rate swap was obtained from a dealer quote.  The value represents the actual amount the Company would pay to terminate the agreement taking into consideration current interest rates.

   

   

   

   

   

The Company’s financial instruments are held for other than trading purposes.

INTEREST RATE SWAP

   

   

   

   

   

The Company entered into an interest rate swap agreement on July 31, 2000 effectively replacing variable interest payments (LIBOR + 2.5%) with fixed interest payments (9.77%) in order to hedge against the changes in the amount of future cash flows associated with payments on variable rate debt.  As of June 30, 2003 the Company was paying a fixed rate of 7.27% and receiving 1.32% on a notional amount of $1,190,889.  The differential paid on the interest rate swap agreement is recognized currently as an adjustment to interest expense and totaled $75,933 and $92,183 for the years ended June 30, 2003 and 2002, respectively. The fair value of the interest rate swap agreement, totaling $29,099 and $80,277 at June 30, 2003 and 2002, respectively, is reflected in the Company’s consolidated balance sheets and the related loss on this contract is deferred in stockholders’ equity (as a component of accumulated other comprehensive loss).  This deferred loss is then amortized as an adjustment to interest expense over the same period in which the related interest payments being hedged are recognized in income.  The effect of this accounting on the Company’s operating results is that the interest expense on the portion of variable-rate debt being hedged is generally recorded based on a fixed interest rate (9.77%).  On August 5, 2003, the Company paid the bank $18,083 to unwind the swap agreement pursuant to the July 31, 2003 Modification and Reaffirmation Agreement.

   

   

   

NOTE 10 -

   

SUBORDINATED DEBT – PRIVATE PLACEMENT

   

   

   

   

   

On November 1, 2002, the Company commenced a private placement offering of $1,500,000 or sixty units at $25,000 per unit.  Each unit consisted of one 12% unsecured promissory note in the amount of $25,000 due January 31, 2008 and 7,080 warrants to purchase Host’s common stock at an exercise price of $2.00, exercisable from December 31, 2003 until January 31, 2008.  Interest began to accrue on January 1, 2003 and is payable semi-annually on June 30 and December 31.  The warrants are not registered or publicly traded.  However, Host will undertake to file an S-3 registration statement to register the shares of common stock underlying the warrants sometime after December 31, 2003.  The units were offered and sold on a “best efforts” basis on behalf of Host by a licensed NASD broker-dealer (“Selling Agent”).  Host paid the Selling Agent a commission of 10% of the gross proceeds from the units sold.  A registered representative of the Selling Agent is a major shareholder of the Company.  Officers and directors of Host also offered and sold units but no commissions or other remuneration were paid to these individuals.  Subordinated note payable to officers, directors, and other affiliated persons totaled $450,000 at June 30, 2003.  These notes are subordinate to the Company’s borrowings under its bank term note payable and revolving line of credit.

   

   

   

   

   

The Company sold a total of 59 units and received $1,475,000 from the offering.  The offering expired on February 28, 2003.  The Company applied $965,000 of the proceeds against its Revolving Line of Credit.  The Company paid $122,500 to the Selling Agent for commissions in connection with the 49 units that were sold by the Selling Agent.  Of the $1,475,000 received in the offering, $434,000 has been assigned to the warrants representing their fair value.  The fair value of these warrants has been recorded as original issue discount, resulting in a reduction in the carrying value of the debt.  The original issue discount is amortized into interest expense over the period of the debt.

EARNOUT EBITA

   

   

   

   

   

Also, in accordance with the Lindley acquisition, Host shall pay to the Sellers of Lindley an “Earnout EBITA” equal to a ten percent (10%) earnings interest (“Earnout Percentage Points”) multiplied by the product of 2.25 times Earnout EBITA.  The ultimate payment is calculated in accordance with a formula based upon the Lindley operations over a two (2) year period, ending June 30 of a particular exercised two (2) year period.  The Sellers may collectively elect to exercise up to, but not more than, five percent (5%) of their Earnout Percentage Points starting with the two (2) year period ended June 30, 2002, and, thereafter, have the option to continue to exercise their remaining Earnout Percentage Points on each June 30 anniversary through June 30, 2007.  The Sellers can select any two-year period ending June 30, through June 30, 2007, to calculate the Earnout EBITA. In accordance with the terms of the acquisition agreement, the Sellers elected to exercise the 5% maximum Earnout EBITA for the two (2) year periods ended June 30, 2003 and 2002.  Earnout EBITA totaling $141,600 and $231,100 for the years ended June 30, 2003 and 2002, respectively, is considered to be additional purchase price and, therefore, has been recorded as goodwill in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.

   

   

   

   

   

Amounts due to the Sellers in connection with the Earnout EBITA, totaled $248,700 and $231,100 as of June 30, 2003 and 2002, respectively, which is reflected in accrued expense in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.  The Company is repaying this obligation in monthly installments of $10,000 plus 12% interest.

PRIVATE PLACEMENT – PREFERRED STOCK

   

   

   

   

   

On August 5, 2003, the Board of Directors of Host authorized and approved the designation, issuance and sale of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock (the “Series B Stock”), a newly-created series of Host’s preferred stock.  On August 11, 2003, Host privately offered and sold 266,667 shares of the Series B stock to an individual investor for an aggregate purchase price of $400,000, or $1.50 per share.  The Series B Stock has various preferences and conversion rights, including the right to receive a cumulative distribution at the rate of 8% per share per annum, payable semi-annually on or before the day of Host’s fiscal quarters ending December 31 and June 30.  Furthermore, the Series B Stock is convertible for a period of 5 years from the issue date into shares of Host’s Common Stock according to the conversion ratio set forth in the Articles of Amendment to the Articles of Incorporation of Host, which were filed with the Colorado Secretary of State on August 11, 2003.  The Articles of Amendment also set forth other preferences, conversion and other rights, voting powers, limitations as to distributions and qualifications of the Series B Stock.

   

   

   

   

MERGER AGREEMENT

   

   

   

   

   

On September 24, 2003, Host entered into a merger agreement with GlobalNet Energy Investors, Inc. (“GlobalNet”) pursuant to which GlobalNet will become a wholly-owned subsidiary of Host.  The merger agreement provides that at closing, Host will issue to the GlobalNet shareholders an aggregate of 250,000 shares of Host’s common stock.  In addition, the agreement provides that the GlobalNet shareholders will be issued additional shares of Host’s common stock if GlobalNet achieves certain performance goals specified in the merger agreement.  The merger agreement does not limit the number of additional shares that may be issued and as a result, such issuances could result in a change in control of Host.

   

   

   

   

   

The Agreement is subject to shareholder approval and the filing of a definitive proxy statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission in connection with the Annual Meeting of Shareholders.  The transaction is expected to be completed and the closing to occur in the second or third quarter of Host’s fiscal year.

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

   

   

   

   

   

BASIS OF PRESENTATION

   

   

   

   

   

The condensed consolidated financial statements of Host America Corporation and subsidiaries (the “Company”) as of and for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2004 and 2003 have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) for interim financial reporting.  These condensed consolidated financial statements are unaudited and, in the opinion of management, include all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) and disclosures necessary to present fairly the financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.  The results of operations for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results for the entire fiscal year.  Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America have been omitted in accordance with the rules and regulations of the SEC.  These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements, and accompanying notes, included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-KSB for the year ended June 30, 2003.

   

   

   

   

   

PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION

   

   

   

The condensed consolidated financial statements presented as of March 31, 2004 and 2003 and for the three and nine months then ended, include the accounts of Host America Corporation (“Host”) and its wholly-owned subsidiaries Lindley Food Service Corporation (“Lindley”), SelectForce, Inc. (“SelectForce”) and, effective December 23, 2003, GlobalNet Energy Investors, Inc. (“GlobalNet”) (see Note B). All significant intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated.

   

   

   

   

   

INVENTORY

   

   

   

   

   

Inventory consists primarily of food, paper products and electrical components and is stated at the lower of cost ormarket, with cost determined on a first-in, first-out basis.

   

   

   

   

   

EARNINGS PER SHARE

   

   

   

Basic earnings per common share for the nine months ended March 31, 2004 and 2003 have been computed based on the weighted average shares outstanding of 3,258,801 and 2,176,881, respectively.  Basic earnings per common share for the three months ended March 31, 2004 and 2003 have been computed based on the weighted average shares outstanding of 3,707,450 and 2,178,627, respectively.  Diluted earnings per share was not presented for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2003 as the potentially dilutive warrants, convertible preferred stock and stock purchase options were anti-dilutive.

The August 11, 2003 preferred stock dividend of $533,334 has been added to the net loss of $4,019,380 for the nine months ended March 31, 2004 to calculate the net loss applicable to common stockholders of $4,552,714 and the corresponding net loss per common share of $1.40.  

   

   

   

   

   

Convertible preferred shares subject to future dilution totaled 266,667 and 700,000, shares under stock purchase options totaled 1,030,650 and 695,600 and shares under warrants totaled 2,116,672 and 1,600,412 at March 31, 2004 and 2003, respectively.

The Company’s primary operating segments are contract food management services (Host), the preparation of unitized meals (Lindley), employment screening services (SelectForce) and energy management products and services (GlobalNet).

   

   

   

NOTE B –

ACQUISITION

   

   

   

   

   

On December 23, 2003, the Company issued 550,000 shares of Host’s common stock in exchange for all of the outstanding shares of GlobalNet plus net liabilities assumed of $276,000 and acquisition expenses of $213,000, for a total purchase price of approximately $3,431,000. The acquisition was accounted for using the purchase method of accounting and, accordingly, the purchase price has been allocated to the assets purchased and the liabilities assumed based upon their fair values at the date of acquisition.  The excess purchase price of $3,431,381 was expensed in connection with the purchase price allocation and has been reflected as acquisition costs in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations for the nine months ended March 31, 2004.

NOTE B –

ACQUISITION (Continued)

   

   

   

GlobalNet markets, sells, installs and manages energy saving products and technology.  In addition, GlobalNet is a registered “aggregator” with the Public Utility Commission of Texas.  As a registered aggregator, GlobalNet is authorized to act as an electricity buyer’s agent and can join two or more customers into a single purchasing unit to negotiate the purchase of electricity on behalf of a customer group.  GlobalNet’s principal product consists of a computerized controller capable of reducing energy consumption and demand fluctuations of electrical inductive loads on motors and certain lighting systems.  GlobalNet is a party to a license/distributor agreement with EnergyNSync which provides GlobalNet with the exclusive right to distribute the EnergyNSync energy products.  The agreement is contingent upon GlobalNet meeting minimum annual dollar volume purchase requirements measured on a quarterly basis.  In the event GlobalNet fails to meet the quarterly purchase requirements, the exclusive term shall terminate and the agreement shall automatically be amended and shall thereafter be non-exclusive for the non-exclusive term (6 months).  In the event that GlobalNet fails to meet the minimum annual purchase requirement during the non-exclusive term, EnergyNSync may give 30 days prior written notice to GlobalNet to terminate this agreement.  GlobalNet failed to meet its first quarterly measurement requirement; however, it has secured a waiver of this default from EnergyNSync.  The Company considered allocating the purchase price to the distribution agreement with EnergyNSync and/or to goodwill but determined that this recognition would not be appropriate due to the uncertainties surrounding GlobalNet’s ability to meet the purchase requirements under its distribution agreement, and the fact that GlobalNet has not executed contractual arrangements that provide reliable and objective evidence supporting future cash flows to recover these intangible assets.

   

   

   

As a result of the acquisition of GlobalNet on December 23, 2003, Host is related to certain entities through common ownership.  Specifically, former GlobalNet shareholders who are now Host shareholders are principals in EnergyNSync and RS Services.  EnergyNSync is the owner of certain technology comprising the proprietary software used in the GlobalNet products.  EnergyNSync currently has a production agreement with KWM Electronics to install this software on the circuit boards used to manufacture the products that are sold by GlobalNet.  The president of KWM was recently named the chief operating officer of GlobalNet.  EnergyNSync currently has these boards shipped to RS Services where final assembly of the control panels is completed.  The finished control panels are sold directly to GlobalNet by EnergyNSync.  RS Services currently does not have an agreement with GlobalNet; however, RS Services has performed site surveys and installations and has been paid by GlobalNet for these services.

On March 19, 2004, the Company issued 50,000 shares of common stock and paid $49,000 in cash to Advanced Refrigeration Controls in consideration for the acquisition of certain inventory and two patents to an energy saving product marketed under the name “Fan Saver,” for a total purchase price, including acquisition expenses of $22,000, of approximately $452,000. The two patents, one for a Model 4000 and the other for a Model 5000, expire on July 28, 2013 and August 1, 2017, respectively.  Accordingly, the Company is amortizing the cost of these patents over their remaining useful lives and recorded $3,023 in amortization expense for the period from March 19, 2004 to March 31, 2004.

BANK DEBT

   

   

   

   

   

On February 13, 2004, the Company paid in full the balances due of $983,778 and $324,889 on its term and demand note obligations, respectively, plus accrued interest of $2,327. The Company utilized substantially all of the net proceeds from the issuance of subordinated promissory notes to liquidate its debt obligations with the bank.

   

   

   

NOTE G -

SUBORDINATED DEBT

   

   

   

   

   

On November 1, 2002, the Company commenced a private placement offering of $1,500,000 or sixty units at $25,000 per unit.  Each unit consisted of one 12% unsecured promissory note in the amount of $25,000 due January 31, 2008 and 7,080 warrants to purchase Host’s common stock at an exercise price of $2.00, exercisable from December 31, 2003 until January 31, 2008.  Interest began to accrue on January 1, 2003 and is payable semi-annually on June 30 and December 31.  The units were offered and sold on a “best efforts” basis on behalf of Host by a licensed NASD broker-dealer (“Selling Agent”).   The Company paid the Selling Agent a commission of 10% of the gross proceeds from the units sold.  A registered representative of the Selling Agent is a major shareholder of Host.  Officers and directors of Host also offered and sold units but no commissions or other remuneration were paid to these individuals.  Subordinated notes payable to officers, directors, and other affiliated persons totaled $450,000 at December 31, 2003.  As of December 31, 2003, these notes were subordinate to the Company’s borrowings under its term and demand notes payable.

   

   

   

   

   

The Company sold a total of 59 units and received $1,475,000 from the offering, which expired on February 28, 2003. The Company used $965,000 of the proceeds to repay its demand note payable obligation and paid $122,500 to the Selling Agent for commissions in connection with the 49 units that were sold by the Selling Agent.  In connection with the $1,475,000 received in the offering, $434,000 has been credited to the warrants based on the fair value, resulting in a reduction in the carrying value of the debt.  This original issue discount will be amortized into interest expense over the term of the debt.

   

   

   

During the three months ended March 31, 2004, the Company received $1,875,000 from the issuance of unsecured subordinated promissory notes.  The notes were sold in increments of $25,000 per unit.  Each unit consisted of one 7.5% unsecured promissory note in the amount of $25,000 due January 31, 2009 and 7,500 warrants to purchase Host’s common stock at an exercise price of $10.00, exercisable from December 31, 2004 until January 31, 2009.  Interest will accrue from the date of issuance, payable semi-annually on June 30 and December 31.  The Company has incurred costs of $195,965 in connection with these note obligations.

   

   

   

In connection with the $1,875,000 offering, $248,000 has been credited to the warrants based on the fair value, resulting in a reduction in the carrying value of the debt.  This original issue discount will be amortized into interest expense over the term of the debt.

NOTE H –

STOCKHOLDERS’ EQUITY

   

   

   

   

PREFERRED STOCK

   

   

   

   

   

On July 21, 2003, the Company converted 700,000 shares of series A preferred stock into 700,000 shares of its common stock.

   

   

   

   

   

On August 5, 2003, the Board of Directors of Host authorized and approved the designation, issuance and sale of series B convertible preferred stock (the “series B stock”), a newly-created series of Host’s preferred stock.  On August 11, 2003, Host privately offered and sold 266,667 shares of the series B stock to an individual investor for an aggregate purchase price of $400,000, or $1.50 per share.

   

   

   

   

   

The series B stock has various preferences and conversion rights, including the right to receive a cumulative distribution at the rate of 8% per share per annum, payable semi-annually on or before the last day of Host’s fiscal quarters ending December 31 and June 30. Furthermore, the series B stock is convertible for a period of five years from the issue date into shares of Host’s common stock according to the conversion ratio set forth in the Articles of Amendment to the Articles of Incorporation of Host, which were filed with the Colorado Secretary of State on August 11, 2003.  The Articles of Amendment also set forth other preferences, conversion and other rights, voting powers, limitations as to distributions and qualifications of the series B stock.

   

   

   

   

   

The difference between the purchase price and the fair value of the common stock into which the preferred stock is convertible of $533,334 is analogous to a dividend and therefore has been reflected as an increase to the deficit during the nine months ended March 31, 2004.

   

   

   

COMMON STOCK

   

   

   

   

   

During the quarter ended December 31, 2003, Host privately placed 500,000 shares of common stock at $5.00 per share with twenty-four accredited investors.  The shares were offered and sold on a best efforts basis by officers and directors of Host and by a licensed NASD broker-dealer (“Selling Agent”).  Host paid the Selling Agent a commission of 10% of the gross proceeds from the shares sold.  In addition, for every ten shares of common stock sold, the Selling Agent received one warrant to purchase one share of common stock at $5.50 per share, exercisable for a period of five years.  A registered representative of the Selling Agent is a major shareholder of Host.  Officers and directors of Host also offered and sold shares but no commissions or other remuneration were paid to these individuals.

   

   

   

   

   

The Company received $2,500,000 from the offering, which closed on December 19, 2003; however, the 500,000 shares of common stock were not issued until January 9, 2004.  The Company paid $242,500 to the Selling Agent for commissions in connection with the 485,000 shares that were sold by the Selling Agent.

RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

   

   

   

   

   

The Company leases land and real property from a partnership owned by certain employees/shareholders under a lease agreement extended to March 31, 2005.  Rent expense totaled $27,000 for the nine months ended March 31, 2004 and 2003.  The Company believes this lease is on terms competitive with other similar facilities in the area.

   

   

   

   

   

Future minimum lease payments under the related party lease for each of the twelve month periods succeeding March 2004 are as follows:

   

   

   

          2005                                                        $ 36,000

   

   

   

   

   

In accordance with the terms of the Lindley acquisition, Host is obligated to pay the Sellers of Lindley, the President and Executive Vice President of Lindley, an “Earnout EBITA” equal to a ten percent (10%) earnings interest (“Earnout Percentage Points”) multiplied by the product of 2.25 times Earnout EBITA.  In accordance with the terms of the acquisition agreement, the Sellers elected to exercise the 5% maximum Earnout EBITA for the two (2) year periods ended June 30, 2003 and 2002.

   

   

   

   

   

Amounts due to the Sellers in connection with the Earnout EBITA, totaled $158,700 and $248,700 as of March 31, 2004 and June 30, 2003, respectively, which is reflected in accrued expenses in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets.  Although this obligation is due on demand, the Company is repaying this obligation in monthly installments of $10,000 plus 12% interest.

   

   

   

   

   

The Company is obligated to certain officers, directors and affiliated persons in the amount of $450,000 in connection with the private placement of subordinated debt (see Note G).

   

   

   

   

   

A major shareholder of Host, who was also a principal shareholder of GlobalNet, provided GlobalNet with debt financing, which was assumed by Host as a result of the acquisition (see Note B).  As of March 31, 2004, there are three outstanding promissory notes with a total balance due of $450,593.  These notes, which bear interest at 15%, mature in February, June and August 2006.

   

   

   

On February 11, 2004, KWM Electronics borrowed $125,000 from GlobalNet.  Accordingly, KWM issued a promissory note to GlobalNet in the amount of $125,000, which bears interest at 7.5% and has a maturity date of August 11, 2004.  GlobalNet reserves the right to extend the due date of this note subject to approval by its Board of Directors.  GlobalNet recorded $1,276 of interest income on this note for the three months ended March 31, 2004.  The note receivable of $125,000 is included in prepaid expenses and other in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets as of March 31, 2004.  The president of KWM is also the chief operating officer of GlobalNet.

DECEMBER 31, 2002

NOTE 1 -

   

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

   

   

   

   

   

NATURE OF OPERATIONS

   

   

   

   

   

GlobalNet Energy Investors, Inc. (A Development Stage Company) (the “Company”) is a distributor of technologically sophisticated industrial energy control panels which are used to reduce electrical consumption.

   

   

   

   

   

DEVELOPMENT STAGE OPERATIONS

   

   

   

   

   

The Company was incorporated in the State of Texas on May 16, 2002.  Operations from the Company’s inception through December 31, 2002 were devoted primarily to financial planning, raising capital, establishing supply sources and developing new business opportunities.

   

   

   

   

   

USE OF ESTIMATES

   

   

   

   

   

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts and disclosures in the financial statements.  Actual results could differ from those estimates.

   

   

   

   

   

CASH EQUIVALENTS

   

   

   

   

   

For the purpose of the statement of cash flows, the Company defines cash equivalents as highly liquid instruments with an original maturity of three months or less.  The Company had no cash equivalents at December 31, 2002.

   

   

   

   

   

PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT

   

   

   

   

   

Property and equipment are stated at cost. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the related assets. Expenditures which substantially increase the useful lives of the related assets are capitalized.  Maintenance, repairs and minor renewals on property and equipment are charged to operations as incurred.

   

   

   

   

   

REVENUE RECOGNITION

   

   

   

   

   

The Company recognizes revenue when the energy control panels are installed.

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

   

   

   

   

   

INCOME TAXES

   

   

   

   

   

The Company recognizes deferred tax liabilities and assets for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been included in the financial statements or tax returns. Deferred tax liabilities and assets are determined based on the differences between the financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to reverse.  The Company has reflected a net loss of $10,388 for the period from May 16, 2002 (inception) through December 31, 2002.  Differences between the financial statement and tax bases of assets, liabilities, and other transactions did not result in a provision for current or deferred income taxes for the period from May 16, 2002 (inception) through December 31, 2002.

   

   

   

NOTE 2 -

   

FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

   

   

   

   

   

CONCENTRATIONS OF CREDIT RISK

   

   

   

   

   

The Company’s financial instruments that are exposed to concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of cash.

   

   

   

   

   

•     Cash - The Company places its cash and temporary cash investments with high
       credit quality institutions.  As of December 31, 2002, such investments were not in
       excess of the FDIC insurance limit.

   

   

   

   

   

FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

   

   

   

   

   

Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 107, Fair Value of Financial Instruments, requires disclosure of the fair value of financial instruments for which the determination of fair value is practicable.  SFAS No. 107 defines the fair value of a financial instrument as the amount at which the instrument could be exchanged in a current transaction between willing parties.

   

   

   

   

   

The carrying amount of the Company’s financial instruments approximates their fair value as outlined below:

   

   

   

   

   

•     Cash overdraft and due to officer and director – The carrying amounts approximate
       their fair value because of the short maturity of those instruments.

   

   

   

   

   

The Company’s financial instruments are held for other than trading purposes.

PART II

INFORMATION NOT REQUIRED IN PROSPECTUS

Item 24.  Indemnification of Directors and Officers.

            Section 7-108-402 of the Colorado Business Corporation Act (the “Act”) provides, generally, that the articles of incorporation of a Colorado corporation may contain a provision eliminating or limiting the personal liability of a director to the corporation or its shareholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director; except that any such provision may not eliminate or limit the liability of a director (i) for any breach of the director’s duty of loyalty to the corporation or its shareholders, (ii) acts or omissions not in good faith or which involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law, (iii) acts specified in Section 7-108-403 (concerning unlawful distributions), or (iv) any transaction from which a director directly or indirectly derived an improper personal benefit.  Such provision may not eliminate or limit the liability of a director for any act or omission occurring prior to the date on which such provision becomes effective.  The Company’s articles of incorporation contain a provision eliminating liability as permitted by the statute.  The Company’s articles of incorporation further provide that directors and officers of the Company will not be held personally liable for any injury to persons or property caused by the wrongful act of any employee of the Company unless either (i) the director or officer was personally involved in the situation leading to litigation or (ii) the director or officer committed a criminal offense in connection with such litigation.

            Section 7-109-103 of the Act provides that a Colorado corporation must indemnify a person (i) who is or was a director of the corporation or an individual who, while serving as a director of the corporation, is or was serving at the corporation’s request as a director, officer, partner, trustee, employee or fiduciary or agent of another corporation or other entity or of any employee benefit plan (a “Director’) or officer of the corporation and (ii) who was wholly successful, on the merits or otherwise, in defense of any threatened, pending, or completed action, suit, or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative, or investigative and whether formal or informal (a “Proceeding”), in which he was a party, against reasonable expenses incurred by him in connection with the Proceeding, unless such indemnity is limited by the corporation’s articles of incorporation.  The Company’s articles of incorporation do not contain any such limitation.

            Section 7-109-102 of the Act provides, generally, that a Colorado corporation may indemnify a person made a party to a Proceeding because the person is or was a Director against any obligation incurred with respect to a Proceeding to pay a judgment, settlement, penalty, fine (including an excise tax assessed with respect to an employee benefit plan) or reasonable expenses incurred in the Proceeding if the person conducted himself or herself in good faith and the person reasonably believed, in the case of conduct in an official capacity with the corporation, that the person’s conduct was in the corporation’s best interests and, in all other cases, his conduct was at least not opposed to the corporation’s best interests and, with respect to any criminal proceedings, the person had no reasonable cause to believe that his conduct was

II-1


unlawful.  The Company’s articles of incorporation and its bylaws provide for such indemnification.  A corporation may not indemnify a Director in connection with any Proceeding by or in the right of the corporation in which the Director was adjudged liable to the corporation or, in connection with any other Proceeding charging the Director derived an improper personal benefit, whether or not involving actions in an official capacity, in which Proceeding the Director was judged liable on the basis that he derived an improper personal benefit.  Any indemnification permitted in connection with a Proceeding by or in the right of the corporation is limited to reasonable expenses incurred in connection with such Proceeding.

            Under Section 7-109-107 of the Act, unless otherwise provided in the articles of incorporation, a Colorado corporation may indemnify an officer, employee, fiduciary, or agent of the corporation to the same extent as a director and may indemnify such a person who is not a Director to a greater extent, if not inconsistent with public policy and if provided for by its bylaws, general or specific action of its board of directors or shareholders, or contract.  The Company’s articles of incorporation and bylaws provide for indemnification of officers, employees and agents of the Company to the same extent as its directors.

            The Company’s articles of incorporation and bylaws permit the Company to pay expenses incurred in defending a Proceeding in advance of the final disposition of the Proceeding if the person undertakes to repay the amount unless it is ultimately determined that he is entitled to such expenses.

            The Company’s articles of incorporation also provide that the Company may purchase and maintain insurance covering any person serving on behalf of, or at the request of, the Company against any liability incurred by him in such capacity or arising out of his status as such, whether or not the Company would have the power to indemnify him against such liability.

Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, may be permitted to directors, officers, or persons controlling the Company pursuant to the foregoing provisions, the Company has been informed that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission, such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and is therefore unenforceable.


Item 25.  Other Expenses of Issuance and Distribution.

Item 28.  Undertakings.

            The Registrant hereby undertakes the following:

       

(1)

    

To file, during any period in which it offers or sells securities, a post-effective amendment to this registration statement to:

       

    

    

      

       

    

    

(i)   

Include any prospectus required by section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act;

       

    

    

      

       

       

    

    

(ii)  

Reflect in the prospectus any facts or event which, individually or together, represent a fundamental change in the information in the registration statement; and

       

    

    

      

       

       

    

    

(iii)

Include any additional or changed material information on the plan of distribution.

       

    

    

      

       

(2)

    

For determining liability under the Securities Act, treat each post-effective amendment as a new registration statement of the securities offered, and the offering of the securities at that time to be the initial bona fide offering.

       

    

    

      

       

(3)

   

File a post-effective amendment to remove from registration any of the securities that remain unsold at the end of the offering.

       

    

    

      

       

(4)

   

Will provide to the underwriter at the closing specified in the underwriting agreement certificates in such denominations and registered in such names as required by the underwriter to permit prompt delivery to each purchaser.

            Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 (the “Act”) may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the Registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the Registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Act and is therefore, unenforceable.

            In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the Registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the Registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the Registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
