PART I
SPECIAL NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
This document contains "forward-looking statements" (within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Act of 1995) that inherently involve risk and uncertainties. The Company generally uses words such as "believe," "may," "could," "will," "intend," "expect," "anticipate," "plan," and similar expressions to identify forward-looking statements. One should not place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements. The Company's actual results could differ materially from those anticipated in the forward-looking statements for many unforeseen factors, which may include, but are not limited to, changes in general economic conditions, the ongoing threat of terrorism, customer acceptance of products offered, other general competitive factors, ability to have access to financing sources on reasonable terms and other risks that are described in this document. Although the Company believes the expectations reflected in the forward-looking statements are reasonable, they relate only to events as of the date on which the statements are made, and the Company's future results, levels of activity, performance or achievements may not meet these expectations. The Company does not intend to update any of the forward-looking statements after the date of this document to conform these statements to actual results or to changes in the Company's expectations, except as required by law.
Item 1. Business
(a) Development of Business.
CHAMPIONS Sports, Inc. (the "Company" or "CSI") was incorporated under the laws of the State of Delaware on June 4, 1985 under the name "International Group, Inc." In September 1985, the Company completed a public offering of 40,000,000 Units, each Unit consisting of one share of Common Stock and warrants to purchase three shares of Common Stock, at a price of $0.01 per Unit. The net proceeds of the offering to the Company were approximately $357,000.
On January 16, 1986, the Company acquired 100% of the outstanding shares of CHAMPIONS Sports International, Inc. ("CSII"), in exchange for 195,555,555 shares of the Company's Common Stock. In February, 1986, International Group, Inc. changed its name to CHAMPIONS Sports, Inc. Between 1987 and 1988, most of the original warrants issued in September 1985 were exercised by stockholders and consequently the Company received additional capital of $2,356,268. On September 12, 1989, CSII was merged with and into the Company, with the Company as the surviving corporation. In November 1991, the Company effected a reverse split of its outstanding shares on a 1 for 100 basis. In November 1992, the Company completed a public offering of 350,000 Shares of Series A 12% Preferred Stock. In March 1993, the Company completed an exchange offer converting all, except 64,575 preferred shares, into 2,171,657 shares of common stock. Subsequently, through FY 2002, an additional 11,450 preferred shares were converted to 53,930 shares of common stock and in FY 2004, 20,675 preferred shares were converted to 310,199 shares of common stock.
Through April 30, 2005, the Company was a licensee of one CHAMPIONS Sports Bar Restaurant and the exclusive supplier of sports memorabilia and consultant to Marriott International, Inc.(Marriott). Subsequent to April 30, 2005, as of July 1, 2005, the one licensed Champions Sport Bar Restaurant ceased its operations when its sixteen year lease ended. In November 1997, the Company sold the rights to the CHAMPIONS brand to Marriott and became an exclusive supplier of sports memorabilia and a consultant to all new managed Marriott and Renaissance Hotel sports bar restaurants worldwide. This agreement, to be the exclusive supplier of sports memorabilia and a consultant to all new managed Marriott and Renaissance Hotel sports bar restaurants worldwide, was terminated by Marriott effective May 28, 2005. At April 30, 2005, the Company owned one CHAMPIONS Sports Bar Restaurant in San Antonio, Texas that was licensed, royalty free, from Marriott.
(b) Current Business Plan
Through April 30, 2005 and currently, the business plan for the Company is to actively pursue opportunities whereby the Company will primarily serve as a vehicle for the acquisition of a target business that the Company believes will have significant growth potential. The Company intends to use its capital stock, to effect a business combination with a private company that desires to establish a public trading market for its securities while avoiding what it may deem to be adverse consequences of undertaking a public offering itself, such as time delays, significant expense, loss of voting control and other burdens including significant professional fees. The business combination may be with a financially stable, mature company or a company that is financially unstable or in its early stages of development or growth.
In seeking to attain this business objective, the Company will not restrict its search to any particular industry. Rather, the Company may investigate businesses of essentially any kind or nature and participate in any type of business that may, in management's opinion, meet the business objectives as described in this document. The Company emphasizes that the description in this document of its business objectives is extremely general and is not meant to restrict the discretion of management to search for and enter into potential business opportunities.
The Company has not chosen the particular business in which the Company will engage in and has not conducted any market studies with respect to any business or industry to evaluate the possible merits or risks of the target business or the particular industry in which the Company may ultimately operate. To the extent that the Company may enter into a business combination with a financially unstable company or an entity in its early stage of development or growth, including entities without established records of sales or earnings, The Company will become subject to numerous risks inherent in the business and operations of financially unstable and early stage or potential emerging growth companies. In addition, to the extent that the Company may enter a business combination with an entity in an industry characterized by a high level of risk, the Company will become subject to the currently unascertainable risks of that industry. An extremely high level of risk frequently characterizes certain industries that experience rapid growth. In addition, although the Company will endeavor to evaluate the risks inherent in a particular industry or target business, the Company cannot give assurance that the Company will properly ascertain or assess all significant risk factors.
The Company anticipates that target business candidates will be brought to its attention from various unaffiliated sources, including but not restricted to, investment bankers, venture capitalists, securities broker-dealers, bankers and other members of the financial community, who may present solicited or unsolicited proposals. Company's officers and directors and their affiliates may also bring to the Company's attention target business candidates. While the Company does not presently anticipate engaging the services of professional firms that specialize in business acquisitions on any formal or basis, the Company may engage such firms in the future, in which event, the Company may pay a finder's fee or other compensation for such introductions if they result in consummated transactions. These fees are customarily between 1% and 5% of the size of the overall transaction, based upon a sliding scale of the amount involved.
The Company's management will have significant flexibility in identifying and selecting a prospective target business. In evaluating a prospective target business, the management will consider, among other factors, the following:
o the financial condition and results of operation of the target;
o the growth potential of the target and that of the industry in which the target operates;
o the experience and skill of the target's management and availability of additional personnel; o the capital requirements of the target;
o the competitive position of the target;
o the stage of development that the target's products, processes or services are at;
o the degree of current or potential market acceptance of the target's products, processes or services;
o proprietary features and the degree of intellectual property or other protection of the target's products, processes or services;
o the regulatory environment of the industry in which the target operates;
o the prospective equity interest in, and opportunity for control of, the target; and
o the costs associated with effecting the business combination.
These criteria are not intended to be exhaustive. Any evaluation relating to the merits of a particular business combination will be based, to the extent relevant, on the above factors as well as other considerations deemed relevant by management in connection with effecting a business combination consistent with Company's business objective.
In connection with Company's evaluation of a prospective target business, the Company anticipates that it will conduct due diligence review that will encompass, among other things, meetings with incumbent management and inspection of facilities, as well as a review of financial or other information that will be made available to the Company.
The Company will endeavor to structure a business combination so as to achieve the most favorable tax treatment to the Company, the target business and both of the companies' stockholders. There can be no assurance, however, that the Internal Revenue Service or appropriate state tax authority will agree with the tax treatment of the business combination.
Until the Company is presented with a specific opportunity for a business combination, the Company is unable to ascertain with any degree of certainty the time and costs required to select and evaluate a target business and to structure and complete the business combination. Any costs incurred in connection with the identification and evaluation of a prospective target business with which a business combination is not ultimately completed will result in a loss to the Company and will reduce the amount of capital otherwise available to complete a business combination.
Although the Company intends to carefully scrutinize the management of a prospective target business before effecting a business combination, the Company cannot give assurance that its assessment of the target's management will prove to be correct, especially in light of the possible inexperience of Company's management in evaluating certain types of businesses. In addition, the Company cannot give assurance that the target's future management will have the necessary skills, qualifications or abilities to manage a public company intending to embark on a program of business development. Furthermore, the future role of Company's officers and directors, if any, in the target business cannot presently be stated with any certainty. It is possible that one or more of the Company's officers and directors will remain associated in some capacity with the Company following a business combination and will devote their efforts to the affairs of the new business combination. Moreover, the Company cannot give assurance that its officers and directors will have significant experience or knowledge relating to the operations of the particular target business.
The Company may seek to recruit additional managers to supplement the incumbent management of the target business. The Company, however, cannot give assurance that it will be able to recruit additional managers who have the requisite skills, knowledge or experience necessary to enhance the incumbent management.
The Company expects to encounter intense competition from other entities having a similar business objective. Many of these entities, including financial consulting companies and venture capital firms, have longer operating histories and have extensive experience in identifying and effecting business combinations, directly or through affiliates. Many of these competitors possess significantly greater financial, technical and other resources. The Company cannot give assurance that it will be able to effectively compete with these entities. In the event the Company is unable to compete effectively with these entities, the Company may be forced to evaluate less attractive prospects for a business combination. If the Company is forced to evaluate these less attractive prospects, the Company cannot give assurance that the stated business objectives will be met.
(c) Description of the Operating Business.
1. Concept
Through April 30, 2005 and until its subsequent closing of its restaurant operations in June of 2005, the Company operated a restaurant in San Antonio, Texas by the name of CHAMPIONS which had a sports theme concept that combined casual dining, sports viewing with strategic marketing and promotions. The CHAMPIONS popularity was defined in the CHAMPIONS motto: "Good Food, Good Times, Good Sports." This concept was based, in large measure, on the format implemented in the first CHAMPIONS location that opened in the Georgetown section of Washington, D.C. in 1983. A strong food component was added to the original concept so that the CHAMPIONS in San Antonio, Texas became a full-fledged restaurant as well as bar. The sports theme of CHAMPIONS was based upon management's belief that sports appeals to most socio-economic, age and gender groups worldwide. The sports atmosphere at CHAMPIONS was created by the presence of hundreds of items of original sports memorabilia such as uniforms, sports equipment, posters, advertising, signs, magazine covers, official programs, film posters, and photographs from local, national and international celebrities and sporting events, past and present. The sports decor established a feeling a comfort and belonging for all customers. In addition, CHAMPIONS atmosphere was enhanced by sports programming and viewing which was accomplished through a network of strategically placed TV monitors designed to continuously show local, national and international sporting events without taking away from the casual dining experience. Although sports was a theme in CHAMPIONS restaurants, it was not the dominant factor. At the heart of the CHAMPIONS concept was the food. The menu, which attracted guests for lunch and dinner, appealed to those interested in dining at a moderate price. It incorporated traditional American cuisine as well as popular regional items. CHAMPIONS average check was about $14.25 per person, placing it within the "casual dining" segment of the restaurant industry. This segment attracts customers who want a higher quality of food and service than that commonly provided at "fast food" or "family style" restaurants. Although no element of the CHAMPIONS concept was unique, the combination of food, atmosphere, sports memorabilia, sports viewing, marketing and promotions defined the concept.
2. Operations
As of the end of the fiscal year, the Company was engaged in the following types of operations:
(i) Company-Owned Operation
Through April 30, 2005, the Company operated one Company-owned restaurant. This location was licensed from Marriott, royalty free, to use the name CHAMPIONS pursuant to a licensing agreement signed in FY 1998. This CHAMPIONS sports bar restaurant was in operation since 1989 and was located in the River Center Mall in San Antonio, Texas. The San Antonio restaurant provided approximately 96% of the Company's revenues for FY 2005, as reflected in the consolidated financial statements included herein. Effective July 1, 2005, the lease for the Champions in San Antonio ended after sixteen years. The Company was not able to renew the lease with the landlord and ceased its operations in San Antonio.
(ii) Supplier of Sports Memorabilia and Consulting Services to Marriott
In November 1997, the Company sold the rights,except for the country of Poland, excluding the city of Warsaw, to the CHAMPIONS brand to Marriott and became a licensee of CHAMPIONS Sports Bar Restaurants and an exclusive supplier of sports memorabilia and a consultant to all new managed Marriott and Renaissance Hotel sports bar restaurants worldwide. Under the terms of this agreement, Marriott was required to purchase sports memorabilia and for the Company to serve as a consultant for each new CHAMPIONS or like sports bar restaurant that opened in a new Marriott or Renaissance Hotel worldwide. In FY 2005, the Company provided sports memorabilia and consulting services to one Champions Sports Bar Restaurant in the Marriott Hotel in Louisville, KY, pursuant to the 1997 agreement with Marriott The 1997 agreement, for Champions to be the exclusive supplier of sports memorabilia and a consultant to all new managed Marriott and Renaissance Hotel sports bar restaurants worldwide, was terminated by Marriott effective May 28, 2005.
3. Competition
Through April 30, 2005 and until July 1, 2005, the Company was in the food and beverage industry which was highly competitive. Food and beverage businesses was affected by changing customer tastes, local and national economic conditions that affected spending habits, population shifts and traffic patterns. Quality of service, attractiveness of facilities and price were also important factors. The popularity of the concept of sports bar restaurants spawned a number of companies seeking to capitalize on that market. While the Company believed that the Champions concept was superior, there were other "sports" bar restaurants in operation. The sports memorabilia business is also highly competitive.
As part of the current business plan, the Company is actively pursuing opportunities whereby the Company will primarily serve as a vehicle for the acquisition of a target business that the Company believes will have significant growth potential, The Company expects to encounter intense competition from other entities having a similar business objective. Many of these entities, including financial consulting companies and venture capital firms, have longer operating histories and have extensive experience in identifying and effecting business combinations, directly or through affiliates. Many of these competitors possess significantly greater financial, technical and other resources. The Company cannot give assurance that it will be able to effectively compete with these entities. In the event the Company is unable to compete effectively with these entities, the Company may be forced to evaluate less attractive prospects for a business combination. If the Company is forced to evaluate these less attractive prospects, the Company cannot give assurance that the stated business objectives will be met.
4. Service Mark
The Company sold the federally registered service mark "Champions", except for the country of Poland, excluding the city of Warsaw, to Marriott pursuant to the November, 1997 agreement and transferred to Marriott all of its international service marks that the Company had registered.
5. Government Regulation
Through April 30, 2005 and until July 1, 2005, the Company's CHAMPIONS sports bar restaurant was subject to federal, state and local governmental regulations, including regulations relating to alcoholic beverage control, public health and safety, zoning and fire codes. The failure to retain food, liquor or other licenses could have adversely affected the operations of the Company's restaurant. The license to sell alcoholic beverages had to be renewed annually and could have been suspended or revoked at any time for cause, including violation by the Company or its employees of any law or regulation pertaining to alcoholic beverage control, such as those regulating the minimum age of patrons or employees, advertising, wholesale purchasing, and inventory control, handling and storage. The restaurant was operated in accordance with standardized procedures designed to assure compliance with all applicable codes and regulations.
Through April 30, 2005 and until July 1, 2005, the Company could have been subject to "dram-shop" statutes, which generally provide a person injured by an intoxicated person the right to recover damages from an establishment that wrongfully served alcoholic beverages to such person. While the Company carried liquor liability coverage, a judgment against the Company under a dram-shop statute in excess of the Company's liability coverage, or inability to continue to obtain such insurance coverage at reasonable costs, could have had a materially adverse effect on the Company. The Company was also subject to the Fair Labor Standards Act, the Immigration Reform and Control Act of 1986 and various state laws governing such matters as minimum wages, overtime, tip credits and other working conditions
6. Employees
As of April 30, 2005, the Company had 2 employees in its corporate office in Arlington, Virginia and 46 employees (both management and hourly) at its San Antonio restaurant.
Item 2. Properties.
The Company has an office address at 2200 Wilson Boulevard, Suite 102-316, Arlington, VA 22201. The Company's rental payments are $40 per month. Through April 30, 2005 and until July 1, 2005, the Company was leasing 5,289 square feet of space for its restaurant in San Antonio, TX pursuant to a lease, which expired on June 30, 2005. The lease provided monthly rental payments of $23,536 including CAM charges and real estate taxes. In addition, the lease required a percentage of the unit's revenues at the location in excess of $1,745,000 per year. Effective, June 30, 2005, the lease at the San Antonio restaurant expired and the restaurant ceased its operations.

(b) Approximate Number of Holders of Common Stock and the Preferred Stock.
The number of holders of record of the Company's common stock as of July 15, 2005 was 2,164 and the Company estimates that there are approximately 3,000 additional beneficial shareholders. There is one beneficial holder of the Company's preferred stock as of July 15, 2005.
(c) Dividends.
Holders of common stock are entitled to receive such dividends as may be declared by the Company's Board of Directors. No dividends have been paid with respect to the Company's common stock and no dividends are anticipated to be paid in the foreseeable future. Any future decisions as to the payment of dividends will be at the discretion of the Company's Board of Directors, subject to applicable law. From November 1994 through November 2002, the Company's Board of Directors voted each year to defer payment of the annual dividend on the Preferred Stock, in order to preserve the Company's cash reserves and in November 2003 cancelled the payment of the annual dividend on the Preferred Stock. The Company's Board of Directors determined, in the reasonable and prudent exercise of their business judgment, that the only manner in which any value could be realized to shareholders was from a merger of the Company with another company and that there does not seem to be any other basis on which the Company can continue. The Company is seeking to use its capital stock to effect a business combination with a private company, which wishes to establish a public trading market for its securities. Based on discussions with potential merger partners, it was clear that no potential merger partner would likely participate in a merger so long as there were outstanding preferred shares. On September 15, 2003, the Company sent a letter to all preferred shareholders announcing its intention to convert preferred shares to common shares. The proposed terms of the conversion were the exchange of one share of preferred stock for fifteen shares of common stock. The conversion also provided for a payment of $0.01 per share converted. The letter announcing the conversion made it clear that preferred shareholders could choose not to convert and that they would be reissued their preferred shares. The Company set a 15 to 1 ratio for the conversion of the preferred shares to common, in 2003, based on (a) the additional accrued dividends and (b) the desire to set an attractive conversion ratio which would facilitate conversion and place the corporation in a position to go forward with its business combination plans. 20,675 preferred shares were converted to 310,199 shares of common stock and payments of $206.75 were issued.
Item 6. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.
The Company's independent auditor, for the year ending April 30, 2005, has expressed substantial doubt that the Company can continue as a going concern due to recurring losses and working capital shortages and that there is no guarantee that the Company will be able to raise enough capital or generate revenues to sustain its operations. The Company is facing grave liquidity and cash problems as of date of the filing of this 10-KSB. The Company's Champions sports bar restaurant in San Antonio, Texas which provided almost 100 percent of its revenues, ceased its restaurant operations in June of 2005 after its 16 year old lease expired. The Company does not have the resources to open and operate a restaurant in another location. It is the intention of the Company to continue operations until such time as Champions finds a business opportunity and merges with another company or raises additional financing, although there is no assurance that this can be done on terms satisfactory to the Company. The Company is continuing to actively look at various business opportunities in order to continue operations. If the Company's liquidity situation does not improve, the Company might have to discontinue its business as a going concern.
(a) Results of Operations for Fiscal Years 2005 and 2004.
1. Revenues
For the fiscal year ended April 30, 2005, the Company's revenues decreased 10.1% to $1,797,283 from $1,999,173.
By component food and beverage sales decreased 14.6% to $1,690,897 from $1,981,113. The decrease is attributed to a decline in customer volume as the number of conventions in the San Antonio downtown area was significantly less than in previous years. Additionally, the Company ceased contractual advertising pending the closing of the San Antonio location in June 2005. Merchandise and memorabilia sales increased to $96,725 from $16,738. The Company provided consulting and memorabilia to one Champions location during the year ended April 30, 2005. Other income provided less than 1% of the Company's total revenues during the year.
For the fiscal year ended April 30, 2004, the Company's revenues decreased slightly from $2,006,406 to $1,999,173. By component, food and beverage sales increased 5.3% to $1,981,113 from to $1,882,118. The Company attributed the increased food and beverage sales to an increase in menu prices in the first quarter of 2004 and to a slight increase in customer volume.
The food to beverage ratio for the San Antonio location was approximately 60% to 40% for both comparable years. Food and beverage sales accounted for 94.1% and 99.1% of the Company's total revenue in the comparable periods.
2. Expenses
The Company's cost of food and beverage sales were 31.5% for FY 2005 compared to 29.6% for FY 2004.This variance is attributed to an increase in wholesale prices, especially in beef, poultry and produce. While the Company implemented retail price increases during FY 2005, in order to remain competitive, they were not sufficient to absorb all of the wholesale price increases.
Restaurant payroll and related costs were 35.5% of food and beverage sales in FY 2005 and 32.0% of related sales in FY 2004. This variance is attributed to a 14.6% decrease in food and beverage sales.
Restaurant occupancy costs for FY 2005 were relatively constant for both fiscal years, at $249,913 and $250,645 respectfully.
Other restaurant costs decreased to $341,464 for FY 2005 compared to $ 401,924 for FY 2004. The decrease is attributed to eliminating certain expenditures pending the June 2005 closing of the San Antonio location. General and administrative costs incurred in FY 2005 were $249,741 and restated to $277,490 in FY 2004.
The primary components of G&A expenses are operating the Company's corporate office, including salaries.
The Company has undertaken significant expense reduction actions in FY 2004 in order to preserve the Company's cash. While, its corporate officers have not taken any salaries since December 2003, the Company, on January 12, 2005, was advised by the Securities and Exchange Commission, upon its review of the Company's filing of the Form 10-KSB for the year ended April 30, 2004, that when an executive officer, who is also a significant shareholder of the company, contributes his services to the company, the fair value of those services should be reflected as expense on the books of the Company. The revised filings reflected the action taken by the Company to accrue the salary of its executive officer, Mr. Martell, pursuant to the salary rate in his employment agreement. The Company is continually evaluating other cost reductions.
3. Profits / Losses
For FY 2005, the Company's loss was $246,544 from its operations, producing a net loss for common shareholders, of $0.02 per common share. The San Antonio Champions location produced a net loss of $103,189. For FY 2004, the Company's restated loss was $215,234 from its operations before dividends accrued on the outstanding preferred stock of $21,580, producing a net loss for common shareholders of $236,814.
(b) Liquidity and Capital Resources for Fiscal Years 2005 and 2004
We are currently experiencing a severe shortage of working capital.
The Company's cash position on April 30, 2005, was $84,513 compared to $120,116 on April 30, 2004, a decrease of $35,603.
During FY 2005, the Company's operating activities used cash of $35,603. The Company used it cash reserves to meet its cash requirements during FY 2005.
During FY 2004, the Company's operating activities used cash of $67,693. The Company used cash to purchase equipment for its San Antonio restaurant for $2,931. The Company's operating activities and cash reserves were sufficient to meet its cash requirement during FY 2004.
The Company's working capital as of April 30, 2005 was a negative $530,367 contrasted to a negative $412,242 on April 30, 2004. The Company's working capital when compared to other publicly traded companies in the restaurant industry was unfavorable. This is primarily attributed to the fact that other companies in the industry have multiple locations with a broader sales base and generate greater cash flows to offset corporate overhead expense.
(c) Miscellaneous for Fiscal Years 2005 and 2004
Stockholders' equity on April 30, 2005 was a negative $366,795 compared to a negative $200,251 on April 30, 2004. In FY 2004 the Company's Board of Directors voted to cancelled the payment of the annual dividend on the Preferred Stock. In FY 2005 and 2004, the Board of Directors voted to defer the annual meeting of shareholders in order to preserve the Company's cash reserves.
Impact of inflation
Inflationary factors have had a significant effect on the Company's operations.
Risk factors
The risks and uncertainties described below are not the only ones facing the Company. Additional risks not presently known or that the Company currently considers being insignificant may also impair the Company's business operations in the future. The Company's business, financial condition and plan of operations could be materially adversely affected by any of the following risks.
o The Company had a loss for the year ended April 30, 2005 and there is substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern due to recurring losses and working capital shortages, which means that the Company may not be able to continue operations unless it obtains additional funding or merges with or is acquired by another company. The Company is actively pursuing merger or acquisition candidates and other financing possibilities to meet its liquidity needs. There is no assurance that the Company will be able to structure a merger or acquisition, or raise additional financing to continue operations on terms satisfactory to the Company.
o The loss of the services of the Company's key employee, James Martell, the Company's Chairman, President and CEO, may have a material adverse affect on the Company's business, financial condition and its ability to obtain additional funding or structuring a merger or acquisition.
o The Company may, in the future, issue additional shares of the Company's common stock, which would reduce shareholders' percent of ownership and may dilute their share value. The Company's Articles of Incorporation authorize the issuance of 50,000,000 shares of common stock, par value $.001 per share. As of July 15, 2005 the Company had 16,824,658 shares of common stock issued and outstanding. The future issuance of all or part of the remaining authorized common stock may result in substantial dilution in the percentage of the common stock held by the Company's then existing shareholders. The Company may value any common stock issued in the future on an arbitrary basis. The issuance of common stock for future services or acquisitions or other corporate actions may have the effect of diluting the value of the shares held by the shareholders, and might have an adverse effect on any trading market for the Company's common stock.
o The Company's common stock may be affected by sporadic or limited trading volume and may fluctuate significantly. Although the Company's common stock has been continually traded publicly since 1985, and at times actively, it can be currently considered to be trading on a sporadic or limited basis on the OTC Bulletin Board in comparison to the NASDAQ National Market, the American Stock Exchange, New York Stock Exchange and other national securities exchanges and there can be no assurance that an active trading market for the common stock will develop. As a result, this could adversely affect the shareholders' ability to sell their common stock in short time periods, or possibly at all. Therefore, the Company cannot assure that there will be liquidity in the common stock. The common stock has experienced, and is likely to experience in the future, significant price and volume fluctuations, which could adversely affect the market price of the common stock without regard to the Company's operating performance. In addition, the Company believes that factors such as quarterly fluctuations in the Company's financial results and changes in the overall economy or the condition of the financial markets could cause the price of the common stock to fluctuate substantially.
o The Company's common stock is deemed to be "penny stock," which may make it more difficult for shareholders to resell their shares due to suitability requirements. The common stock is a penny stock. Penny stocks generally are equity securities with a price of less than $5.00 per share other than securities registered on certain national securities exchanges or quoted on the NASDAQ Stock Market, provided that current price and volume information with respect to transactions in such securities is provided by the exchange or system. The Company's securities may be subject to "penny stock rules" that impose additional sales practice requirements on broker-dealers who sell such securities to persons other than established customers and accredited investors (generally those with assets in excess of $1,000,000 or annual income exceeding $200,000 or $300,000 together with their spouse). For transactions covered by these rules, the broker-dealer must make a special suitability determination for the purchase of such securities and have received the purchaser's written consent to the transaction prior to the purchase. Additionally, for any transaction involving a penny stock, unless exempt, the "penny stock rules" require the delivery, prior to the transaction, of a disclosure schedule prescribed by the Commission relating to the penny stock market. The broker-dealer also must disclose the commissions payable to both the broker-dealer and the registered representative and current quotations for the securities. Finally, monthly statements must be sent disclosing recent price information on the limited market in penny stocks. Consequently, the "penny stock rules" may restrict the ability of broker-dealers to sell Company's securities and may have the effect of reducing the level of trading activity of the common stock in the secondary market. The foregoing required penny stock restrictions will not apply to securities if such securities maintain a market price of $5.00 or greater. The Company can give no assurance that the price of its securities will reach or maintain such a level.
(d) Subsequent event
In June, 2005, the Company ceased operations of its Champions sports bar restaurant located in San Antonio, Texas.
Item 7. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data.
The Report of Independent Accountants appears at page F-1 and the Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements appear at pages F-3 through F-16 hereof.
Item 8. Changes In and Disagreements with Accountants on Accounting & Financial Disclosure.
In FY 2005, the Company did not change its independent auditor, Bagell, Josephs & Co. L.L.C. There have been no disagreements between the Company and its independent accountant on any matter of accounting principles or practices or financial statement disclosure during the last two fiscal years.
Item 8 A. Controls and Procedures
Disclosure controls are procedures that are designed with the objective of ensuring that information required to be disclosed in the Company's reports under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, such as this Form 10-KSB is reported in accordance with the Securities and Exchange Commission's rules. Disclosure controls are also designed with the objective of ensuring that such information is accumulated and communicated to management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Within the 90 days prior to the date of this report, the Company carried out an evaluation under the supervision and with the participation of the Company's management, including the Company's Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company's disclosure controls and procedures pursuant to Securities Exchange Act Rule 13a-14. Based upon that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that the Company's disclosure controls and procedures are effective in timely alerting them to material information relating to the Company (including its consolidated subsidiaries) required to be in the Company's periodic SEC filings. There were no significant changes in the Company's internal controls or in other factors that could significantly affect these controls subsequent to the date of their evaluation.
Certifications of the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer regarding, among other items, disclosure controls and procedures are included immediately after the signature section of this Form 10-KSB.

For FY 2005, $148,000 was accrued.
2 The Company, on January 12, 2005, was advised by the Securities and Exchange Commission, upon its review of the Company's filing of the Form 10-KSB for the year ended April 30, 2004, that when an executive officer, who is also a significant shareholder of the company, contributes his services to the company, the fair value of those services should be reflected as expense on the books of the Company. For FY 2004 cash compensation was $49,333 and $98,667 was accrued. The 10-KSB filing reflects the action taken by the Company to accrue the salary of its executive officer, Mr. Martell, pursuant to the salary rate in his employment agreement.
In FY 2005, all executive officers of the Company as a group (2 in number) received no cash compensation. Effective January 2004, salaries to all executive officers were suspended in order to preserve the Company's cash position and will not be paid until the cash position of the Company improves. In FY 2004, all officers of the Company as a group (2 in number) received cash compensation of $73,666. The Board of Directors has the right to change and increase the compensation of executive officers at any time. The Company has no arrangement by which any of its directors are compensated for services solely as directors, and these individuals do not receive any additional remuneration for their services as directors. The Company may from time to time pay consulting fees to its officers and directors.
Except as described below, the Company has no compensatory plan or arrangement which would result in executive officers receiving compensation as a result of their resignation, retirement or any other termination of employment with the Company or its affiliates, or from a change in control of the Company or a change in responsibilities following a change in control of the Company.
The Company entered into an employment agreement with Mr. Martell in September 1993, under which Mr. Martell received options to purchase 200,000 shares of the Company's Common Stock at $1.00 per share at any time prior to September 6, 2001, whether or not Mr. Martell is an employee at such time. If there is a change in the management of the Company and such management acts contrary to the policy of the current Board, or if Mr. Martell's position as an officer or director is terminated, Mr. Martell may resign and become entitled to liquidated damages determined pursuant to a formula prescribed in the contract. This agreement was extended for two years in FY 2000 at an annual salary of $148,000 and further extended for another three years in FY 2002. In FY 2003, Mr. Martell's salary was reduced in the interim to $74,000 and since January 2004 Mr. Martell has not taken a salary in order to preserve the Company's cash position. In FY 2001, the Board of Directors reissued to Mr. Martell the options to purchase the 200,000 shares of Company's Common stock at $0.11 per share instead of $1.00 per share as previously granted and extended the expiration of those options to August 22, 2003. These options expired in FY 2004. In FY 1996, the Board of Directors granted to Mr. Martell an option to purchase 1,200,000 restricted shares of the Company's Common Stock at $0.05 per share. Mr. Martell in FY 1996 exercised this option for 1,200,000 restricted shares for $60,000. In January 2004, the Board of Directors granted to Mr. Martell a seven-year option to purchase 8,000,000 restricted shares of the Company's Common Stock at $0.01 per share. In October, 2004, Mr. Martell exercised his stock option to purchase 8,000,000 of the Company's common shares at $0.01 per share by tendering a two year purchase note for $80,000 to the Company pursuant to his stock option agreement. In April, 2005, the Board of Directors approved the cancellation and forgiveness of the purchase note and any interest due, in consideration of the services provided by Mr. Martell.
In FY 2001, the Board of Directors, as part of its efforts to diversify into high technology, granted the following options to the Company's Officers, Directors and Advisory Board Members: a three year option to purchase 575,000 restricted shares of the Company's Common Stock at $0.11 per share to James J.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
Board of Directors
Champions Sports, Inc. and Subsidiaries
Arlington, Virginia
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Champions Sports, Inc. and Subsidiaries as of April 30, 2005 and 2004 and the related consolidated statements of operations, changes in stockholders' (deficit), and cash flow for the years 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 have conducted our audit in accordance with standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). 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 financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
The accompanying consolidated financial statements for the years ended April 30, 2005 and 2004 have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 8 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company has sustained operating losses and capital deficits that raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Management's operating and financing plans in regard to these matters are also discussed in Note 8. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of these uncertainties.
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Champions Sports, Inc. and Subsidiaries as of April 30, 2005 and 2004 and the results of its operations, changes in stockholders' equity (deficit), and their cash flow for the years then ended in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
As noted in Note 10, the Company has amended its previously issued consolidated financial statements for the year ended April 30, 2004 on its report dated July 12, 2004. The Company has amended these consolidated financial statements to recognize an additional $107,547 in officer's compensation and related payroll tax expense for the year ended April 30, 2004. This transaction resulted in an increase in net loss applicable to common shares of $107,547 for the year ended April 30, 2004 to a net loss of $215,234 as restated, and an increase in the accumulated deficit to $6,383,925.

Inventories
Inventories consist of goods and supplies held for sale in the ordinary course of business and are stated at the lower of cost, determined on the first-in-first-out basis, or market. The components of inventories at April 30, 2005 and 2004 were as follows:

Net (Loss) Per Share
Historical net (loss) per common share is computed using the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted earnings per share (EPS) includes additional dilution from common stock equivalents, such as stock issuable pursuant to the exercise of stock options and warrants. Common stock equivalents were not included in the computation of diluted earnings per share when the Company reported a loss because to do so would be antidilutive for periods presented.
The following is a reconciliation of the computation for basic and diluted EPS:

Net (Loss) Per Share (Continued)
Options and warrants outstanding to purchase stock were not included in the computation of diluted EPS in the chart above for April 30, 2005 and 2004, because inclusion would have been antidilutive.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
For purposes of the consolidated statements of cash flows, the Company considers all highly liquid debt instruments purchased with a maturity of three months or less, unless restricted as to use, to be cash equivalents. At various times throughout the year the Company had amounts on deposit at financial institutions in excess of federally insured limits.
Accounts Receivable
Accounts receivable are recorded net of reserves for sales returns and allowances, and net of provisions for doubtful accounts. Allowances for sales returns and discounts are based on an analysis of historical trends, and allowances for doubtful accounts are based primarily on an analysis of aging accounts receivable balances and on the creditworthiness of the customer as determined by credit checks and analysis, as well as the customer's payment history.
Income Taxes
The Company has adopted the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 109 (the Statement), Accounting for Income Taxes. The Statement requires an asset and liability approach for financial accounting and reporting for income taxes, and the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the temporary differences between the financial reporting bases and tax bases of the Company's assets and liabilities at enacted tax rates expected to be in effect when such amounts are realized or settled.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The carrying amounts of the Company's financial instruments, including cash and cash equivalents, accounts payable, and accrued expenses, approximate fair values because of the short maturities of these instruments.
Options for Common Stock
The Company uses the intrinsic value method to account for options granted to executive officers, directors and other key employees for the purchase of common stock. No compensation expense is recognized on the grant date, since at that date, the option price equals or is higher than the market price of the underlying common stock. The Company discloses the pro forma effect of accounting for stock options under the fair value method. The Company uses the fair value method to account for options granted to advisors for the purchase of common stock.

Stock-Based Compensation
Employee stock awards under the Company's compensation plans are accounted for in accordance with Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25 ("APB 25"), "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees", and related interpretations. The Company provides the disclosure requirements of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation" ("SFAS 123"), and related interpretations. Stock-based awards to non-employees are accounted for under the provisions of SFAS 123 and has adopted the enhanced disclosure provisions of SFAS No. 148 "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation- Transition and Disclosure, an amendment of SFAS No. 123".
The Company measures compensation expense for its employee stock-based compensation using the intrinsic-value method. Under the intrinsic-value method of accounting for stock-based compensation, when the exercise price of options granted to employees is less than the estimated fair value of the underlying stock on the date of grant, deferred compensation is recognized and is amortized to compensation expense over the applicable vesting period. In each of the periods presented, the vesting period was the period in which the options were granted. All options were expensed to compensation in the period granted rather than the exercise date.
The Company measures compensation expense for its non-employee stock-based compensation under the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Emerging Issues Task Force (EITF) Issue No. 96-18, "Accounting for Equity Instruments that are Issued to Other Than Employees for Acquiring, or in Conjunction with Selling, Goods or Services". The fair value of the option issued is used to measure the transaction, as this is more reliable than the fair value of the services received. The fair value is measured at the value of the Company's common stock on the date that the commitment for performance by the counterparty has been reached or the counterparty's performance is complete. The fair value of the equity instrument is charged directly to compensation expense and additional paid-in capital.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
Share Based Payments
In December 2004, the FASB issued Financial Accounting Standards No. 123 (revised 2004) (FAS 123R), "Share-Based Payment, " FAS 123R replaces FAS No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compenasation", and supersedes APB Opinion No. 25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees." FAS 123R requires compensation expense, measured as the fair value at the grant date, related to share-based payment transactions to be recognized in the financial statements over the period that an employee provides service in exchange for the award. The Company intends to adopt FAS 123R using the "modified prospective" transition method as defined in FAS 123R. Under the modified prospective method, companies are required to 1) record compensation cost prospectively for the unvested portion, as of the date of adoption, of previously issued and outstanding awards over the remaining vesting period of such awards. FAS 123R is effective January 1, 2006. The Company is evaluating the impact of FAS 123R on its' results and financial position.

Inventory Costs
In November 2004, the FASB issued Financial Accounting Standards No. 151 (FAS 151), "Inventory Costs - an amendment of ARB No. 43, Chapter 4". FAS 151 clarifies the accounting for abnormal amounts of idle facility expense, freight, handling costs and spoilage. In addition, FAS 151 requires companies to base the allocation of fixed production overhead to the costs of conversion on the normal capacity of production facilities. FAS 151 is effective for the Company in 2006. The Company does not expect FAS 151 to have a material impact on its results or financial statements.
Exchange of Non-Monetary Assets
On December 16, 2004, FASB issued Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 153, "Exchanges of Non-monetary Assets, an
amendment of APB Opinion No. 29, Accounting for Non-monetary Transactions"
("SFAS 153"). This statement amends APB Opinion 29 to eliminate the exception
for non-monetary exchanges of similar productive assets and replaces it with a
general exception for exchanges of non-monetary assets that do not have
commercial substance. Under SFAS 153, if a non-monetary exchange of similar
productive assets meets a commercial-substance criterion and fair value is
determinable, the transaction must be accounted for at fair value resulting in
recognition of any gain or loss. SFAS 153 is effective for non-monetary
transactions in fiscal periods that begin after June 15, 2005. The Company does
not anticipate that the implementation of this standard will have a material
impact on its financial position, results of operations or cash
flows.
Reclassifications
Certain amounts for the year ended April 30, 2004 have reclassified to conform to the presentation of the April 30, 2005 amounts. The reclassifications have no effect on net loss for the year ended April 30, 2004.
NOTE 3- RELATED PARTY TRANSACTION
In October 2004, the Company received an advance from an officer of the Company for certain working capital needs. These funds were repaid in November 2004.

Operating Leases
The Company leases, as tenant, restaurant space under an operating lease which expires June 30, 2005. The lease escalates for increases in the landlord's expenses of for increases in the Consumer Price Index, and requires additional rentals based on a percentage of restaurant sales over a defined amount. The lease grants the Company certain concessions, which are amortized to lease expense over the term of the lease.
Rental expense charged to expense during the years ended April 30, 2005 and 2004 was $249,913 and $212,220, respectively. The lease expires on June 30, 2005.
NOTE 5- MARRIOTT LICENSE
The Company was an exclusive supplier of sports memorabilia and a consultant to all new Champions Sports Bars located in Marriott and Renaissance Hotels worldwide. Effective May 28, 2005, Marriott terminated the exclusive consulting services and sports memorabilia supply agreement dated November 7, 1997.
During the year ended April 30, 2005, the Company received $75,000 from Marriott, for memorabilia and consulting fees in connection with the opening of the new Champions Sports Bar Restaurant in the Marriott hotel in Louisville, Kentucky in March 2005.
NOTE 6- OTHER ACCRUED EXPENSES
This account consisted primarily of accrued officer's payroll and related payroll taxes totaling $186,767 of the $213,404 as of April 30, 2005 and $107,547 of the $146,116 as of April 30, 2004, respectively.
NOTE 7- STOCKHOLDERS' DEFICIT
Common Stock
The Company has 50,000,000 shares authorized and 16,824,658 shares issued and outstanding at April 30, 2005.
On October 11, 2004, an officer of the Company exercised his stock option to acquire 8,000,000 shares of restricted common stock at $.01 per share.
In accordance with Emerging Issues Task Force (EITF) 95-16, "Accounting for Stock Compensation Arrangements with Employer Loan Features under APB Opinion No. 25," this option was exercised with a note receivable from the officer. The note is secured along with any related interest (4.5%) by the stock, and the note is prepayable and due on demand. It does not

constitute a new grant of an option under EITF 95-16, because the option agreement did not contain a clause that permitted the officer to exercise the option with a nonrecourse note, and the exercise with a note does not extend the original option period. In April 2005, the note along with accrued interest totaling $82,100, was applied in-full to the accrued officer's loan payable (included in Other Accrued Expenses) balance.
There were no other issuances of common stock during the years ended April 30, 2005 and 2004, respectively.
.
Preferred Stock
The Company has 56,075 shares of preferred stock authorized and 32,450 shares issued and outstanding at April 30, 2005.
Effective November 2003, pursuant to a board resolution, the Company cancelled its payment and/or accruing of preferred stock dividends. The Company's Board of Director's decided to only pay/accrue the preferred stock dividend upon a successful merger or business combination. The Series A preferred stock would be equal to 12 percent per annum, and the dividends are to be accrued on the Company's book if not paid. The dividend may be paid in cash or common stock of the Company at the Company's discretion. The number of shares comprising the dividend paid in common stock shall be determined by dividing $1.20 by the closing bid price for the common stock on the payment date. The Series A preferred stock is preferred in liquidation or dissolution up to the amount of their par value ($10 per share). The Series A preferred stock in 2004 converted into 15 shares of the Company's common stock. There were no conversions in 2003.
For each of the ten fiscal years ended April 30, 2005, the Company deferred payment of the annual dividend on the Series A preferred stock. For the years ended April 30, 2005 and 2004, the deferral was $0 and $21,580, respectively. Accrued preferred stock dividends at April 30, 2005 and 2004 aggregated $350,460 ($10.80 per preferred share), respectively. The remaining accrued dividends are anticipated to be paid in cash or common stock upon a successful merger or other business combination.
Common Stock Options
The Company in 1993 adopted a stock option plan, which expired on August 2, 2002. No options were exercised under the plan. All options granted by the Company were granted pursuant to board resolutions and not under the stock option plan.

Under the Black-Scholes option pricing model, the total value of the stock options granted in 2003 is charged to operations as these options are fully vested. SFAS No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation", encourages adoption of a fair-value-based method for valuing the cost of stock-based compensation.
However, it allows companies to continue to use the intrinsic-value method for options granted to employees and disclose pro forma net loss. All of these options are vested as of April 30, 2004.

The Company has ceased operations in June 2005, (see footnote 10) and there is no guarantee whether the Company will be able to generate enough revenue and/or raise capital to support current operations. This raises substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern.
Management is actively pursuing opportunities whereby the Company will primarily serve as a vehicle for the acquisition of a target business that the Company believes will have significant growth potential. The Company intends to use its capital stock, to effect a business combination with a private company that desires to establish a public trading market for its securities while avoiding what it may deem to be adverse consequences of undertaking a public offering itself, such as time delays, significant expense, loss of voting control and other burdens including significant professional fees. The business combination may be with a financially stable, mature company or a company that is financially unstable or in its early stages of development or growth.
The Company's future success is dependent upon its ability to obtain equity/debt financing, or find a suitable merger candidate. There is no guarantee that the Company will be able to raise enough capital or generate revenues to sustain its operations.
The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability or classification of recorded assets and liabilities that might result should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.
NOTE 9- PROVISION FOR INCOME TAXES
Deferred income taxes will be determined using the liability method for the temporary differences between the financial reporting basis and income tax basis of the Company's assets and liabilities. Deferred income taxes will be measured based on the tax rates expected to be in effect when the temporary differences are included in the Company's consolidated tax return. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized based on anticipated future tax consequences attributable to differences between financial statement carrying amounts of assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases.
At April 30, 2005, deferred tax assets consist of the following:
Deferred tax assets |
$1,461,000 |
||
Less: valuation allowance |
(1,461,000) |

FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
APRIL 30, 2005 AND 2004
NOTE 9- PROVISION FOR INCOME TAXES (continued)
At April 30, 2005, the Company had federal net operating loss carryforwards in the approximate amounts of $4,175,000 available to offset future taxable income. The Company established valuation allowances equal to the full amount of the deferred tax assets due to the uncertainty of the utilization of the operating losses in future periods.
NOTE 10- RESTATEMENT OF PREVIOUSLY ISSUED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
The Company has amended its previously issued consolidated financial statements for the year ended April 30, 2004 on its report dated July 12, 2004. The Company has amended these consolidated financial statements to recognize an additional $107,547 in officer's compensation and related payroll tax expense for the year ended April 30, 2004. This transaction resulted in an increase in net loss applicable to common shares of $107,547 for the year ended April 30, 2004 to a net loss of $215,234 as restated, and an increase in the accumulated deficit to $6,383,925.
NOTE 11- SUBSEQUENT EVENT
