ITEM 1. DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS
History and Organization
Starberrys Corporation, a Nevada corporation (the "Company"), was incorporated on October 8, 1998. The Company has no subsidiaries and no affiliated companies. The Company's executive offices are located in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada.
The Company's Articles of Incorporation currently provide that the Company is authorized to issue 200,000,000 shares of Common Stock, par value $0.001 per share, and 50,000,000 Preferred Shares. As at September 30, 2002 there were 10,561,200 Common Shares and no Preferred Shares outstanding.
On November 24, 1998 the Company acquired the exclusive rights to market high quality cigars through a climate controlled kiosk merchandise display case, known as the King Climate Control, by the payment of $50,000. The Company did not proceed with this new business and in 2000 abandoned the activity.
Under new management and a new Board of Directors, in June the Company acquired the exclusive rights to a unique food service concept. In light of the current financial market conditions, this activity was postponed and the Board decided to focus upon a more appropriate business activity.
Subsequent to the end of the fiscal year (in November 2002), the Company signed a Letter of Intent with eVision Technologies Corporation and Ken Turpin (founder / inventor) to acquire 100% of the assets related to the business of CBN. The CBN System is a digital color management system providing one color language across industries and materials, empowering architects, designers, contractors, retailers and consumers to take full control of their choice and use of color.
This agreement is dependent upon negotiating a definitive purchase agreement, completing satisfactory due diligence, raising the investment funds, and closing.
ITEM 2. DESCRIPTION OF PROPERTY
Offices
The Company's executive offices are located at 2236 Folkestone Way, Suite 21, West Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada V7S 2X7. The office is located in premises which are also used by the President of the Company for other business interests. There is no charge to the Company for using this office.
Other Property
The Company does not own any other property other than the rights to the Cigar King and the Starberrys food service concepts.
There are no legal proceedings to which the Company is a party or to which its property is subject, nor to the best of management's knowledge are any material legal proceedings contemplated.
3
ITEM 4. SUBMISSION OF MATTERS TO A VOTE OF SECURITIES HOLDERS
In the last quarter of this fiscal year, the following matters were submitted to a vote of shareholders of the Company at its Annual Meeting held August 7, 2002 (see attached Proxy Statement dated July 25, 2002):
-
- Election
of Directors (see Part III, Item 9);
-
- Approval
to amend and restate the Company's Articles of Incorporation, to change the Company's name to "Starberrys Corporation", to create a new class of
Preferred Shares and to make certain other minor changes;
-
- Ratification
and approval of stock option grants; and,
-
- Ratification of independent auditors.
All matters were passed unanimously by the shareholders, save the approval to amend the Company's Articles of Incorporation which received 5,241,000 votes in favor with 210,000 votes abstaining.
ITEM 5. MARKET FOR COMMON EQUITY AND RELATED STOCKHOLDER MATTERS
During the past year there has been no established trading market for the Company's common stock. Since its inception, the Company has not paid any dividends on its common stock, and the Company does not anticipate that it will pay dividends in the foreseeable future. As at September 30, 2002 the Company had 51 shareholders.
ITEM 6. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OR PLAN OF OPERATION
Overview
The Company was incorporated on October 8, 1998 under the laws of the State of Nevada. The Company's Articles of Incorporation currently provide that the Company is authorized to issue 200,000,000 shares of Common Stock, par value $0.001 per share, and 50,000,000 shares of Preferred Stock with such terms as will be specified by the Board of Directors at the time it acts to create a specific series of the Preferred Stock to be issued. As at September 30, 2002 there were 10,561,200 Common Shares and no Preferred Shares outstanding.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
As at September 30, 2002, the Company had $554 of assets, and $112,056 of liabilities, including cash or cash equivalents amounting to $554.
The Company has no contractual obligations for either lease premises or employment agreements.
Results of Operations
The Company has had no revenues from operations since its inception.
Plan of operation.
In the next twelve months, the Company is intending to negotiate a definitive purchase agreement to acquire 100% of the assets of CBN, based upon the Letter of Intent signed on November 29, 2002. Further, the Company intends to complete the due diligence process covering these assets, raise the investment funds and close the acquisition.
4
As the Company has insufficient financial resources to complete this acquisition, it is necessary to raise the investment funds to take advantage of this opportunity. That activity will shortly be underway.
Once the acquisition has been closed, the Company intends to carry out further product development work on the CBN system to apply this technology to additional industries where color communication and choice is important.
With the closing on the CBN assets, the number of employees will initially grow to the 10 to 14 range.
The financial statements of the Company are included following the signature page to this Form 10-KSB.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS
We have audited the accompanying balance sheet of Starberrys Corporation (development stage company) at September 30, 2002, and the related statement's of operations, stockholders' equity, and cash flows for the years ended September 30, 2002 and 2001 and the period October 8, 1998 (date of inception) to September 30, 2002. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management as well as evaluating the overall balance sheet presentation. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Starberrys Corporation at September 30, 2002, and the results of operations, and cash flows for the years ended September 30, 2002 and 2001 and the period October 8, 1998 (date of inception) to September 30, 2002 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. The Company does not have the necessary working capital to service its debt and for its planned activity, which raises substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Management's plans in regard to these matters are described in Note 6. These financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

STARBERRYS CORPORATION
(Development Stage Company)
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1. ORGANIZATION
The Company was incorporated under the laws of the State of Nevada on October 8, 1998 with the name of "Cigar King Corporation" with authorized common stock of 200,000,000 shares at $.001 par value. On September 13, 2002 the name was changed to "Starberrys Corporation" as part of a change in the authorized capital stock by the addition of 50,000,000 shares of preferred stock with a par value of $.001. There are no preferred shares issued and the terms have not been determined.
The Company was organized for the purpose of engaging in quality cigar sales. During 1998 the Company purchased the right to use the name "Cigar King" to market high quality cigars and during 2000 the activity was abandoned. During 2002, under a new board of director's and management, the Company acquired the rights to a unique food service concept, however because of market conditions this activity has been postponed.
The Company is in the development stage.
2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Accounting Methods
The Company recognizes income and expenses based on the accrual method of accounting.
Dividend Policy
The Company has not adopted a policy regarding payment of dividends.
Income Taxes
On September 30, 2002 the Company had a net operating loss available for carryforward of $213,345. The tax benefit of approximately $64,004 from the loss carry forward has been fully offset by a valuation reserve because the use of the future tax benefit is doubtful since the Company has no operations. The loss carryforward will expire in 2022
Basic and Diluted Net Income (Loss) Per Share
Basic net income (loss) per share amounts are computed based on the weighted average number of shares actually outstanding. Diluted net income (loss) per share amounts are computed using the weighted average number of common shares and common equivalent shares outstanding as if shares had been issued on the exercise of the preferred share rights unless the exercise becomes antidilutive and then only the basic per share amounts are shown in the report.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
The Company considers all highly liquid instruments purchased with a maturity, at the time of purchase, of less than three months, to be cash equivalents.
Financial Instruments
The carrying amounts of financial instruments, including cash and accounts payable, are considered by management to be their estimated fair values.
21
Estimates and Assumptions
Management uses estimates and assumptions in preparing financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. Those estimates and assumptions affect the reported amounts of the assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities, and the reported revenues and expenses. Actual results could vary from the estimates that were assumed in preparing these financial statements.
3. COMMON CAPITAL STOCK
Since its inception the company has completed private placements of 10,561,200 shares of its common capital stock for $90,892.
4. COMMON CAPITAL STOCK OPTIONS
On June 6, 2002 the Company granted stock options to related parties of 1,140,000 shares of common stock at $1.00 per share which will expire on June 6, 2005. The options vest in equal proportions of one-twelfth on the first day of each calendar quarter starting the October to December 2002 quarter. On the date of the grant the fair value of outstanding shares of the Company was less than $1.00.
5. SIGNIFICANT TRANSACTIONS WITH RELATED PARTIES
Officer, directors and key consultants have acquired 34% of the outstanding common stock and have received the stock options outlined in note 4.
6. GOING CONCERN
The Company does not have the working capital necessary to service its debt and for any future planned activity. The Company's management believes they can obtain the necessary working capital needed to pay its debt and for any future planned activity by receiving loans from officers, and by additional equity funding which will enable the Company to operate for the coming year.
