Item 1. Description of Business.

Business Development.
---------------------
Organization and Charter Amendments.
-----------------------------------
Piezo Instruments, Inc. (the "Company") was organized under the laws of the
State of Utah on April 10, 1984 under the name "Core-Tech, Inc.", to engage in
any lawful purpose.
The Company's initial authorized capital was $50,000.00 consisting of
50,000,000 shares of one mill ($0.001) par value common voting stock. A copy of
the Company's initial Articles of Incorporation is attached hereto and is
incorporated herein by reference. See Part III, Item 1.
On November 12, 1985, the Company's Articles of Incorporation were amended
to reflect a name change from "Core-Tech, Inc." to "Piezo Instruments, Inc." A
copy of the Articles of Amendment to the Articles of Incorporation is attached
hereto and is incorporated herein by reference. See Part III, Item 1.
On August 17, 1990 the Company was reinstated with the State of Utah after
being suspended on June 12, 1990, for failure to file an annual report.
Material Changes in Control Since Inception and Related Business History.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
On August 31, 1985, the Company acquired 100% of the issued and outstanding
shares or subscriptions to purchase shares of common voting stock of Piezo
Instruments, Inc., a Utah Corporation, in exchange for the issuance of
14,800,000 shares of the Company's "unregistered" and "restricted" common voting
stock.
On June 14, 1984, pursuant to rule 504 of Regulation D of the Securities
and Exchange Commission, the Company commenced the offer and sale to the public
of 2,500,000 shares of its common voting stock at a price of $0.01 per share,
for the total sum of $25,000. The offering was completed on October 5, 1984.
Until 1987, the Company engaged in engineering, research, development, and
merchandising of electronic and electronic and electromechanical devices,
equipment, and accessories. The Company's activities were unsuccessful and it
ceased active operations in 1987.
Business.
---------
Other than the above-referenced matters and seeking and investigating
potential assets, properties or businesses to acquire, the Company has had no
business operations for over 5 years. To the extent that the Company intends to
continue to seek the acquisition of assets, property or business that may
benefit the Company and its stockholders, it is essentially a "blank check"
company. Because the Company has limited assets and conducts no business,
management anticipates that any such acquisition would require it to issue
shares of its common stock as the sole consideration for the acquisition. This
may result in substantial dilution of the shares of current stockholders. The
Company's Board of Directors shall make the final determination whether to
complete any such acquisition; the approval of stockholders will not be sought
unless required by applicable laws, rules and regulations, its Articles of
Incorporation or Bylaws, or contract. The Company makes no assurance that any
future enterprise will be profitable or successful.
The Company is not currently engaging in any substantive business activity
and has no plans to engage in any such activity in the foreseeable future. In
its present form, the Company may be deemed to be a vehicle to acquire or merge
with a business or company. The Company does not intend to restrict its search
to any particular business or industry, and the areas in which it will seek out
acquisitions, reorganizations or mergers may include, but will not be limited
to, the fields of high technology, manufacturing, natural resources, service,
research and development, communications, transportation, insurance, brokerage,
finance and all medically related fields, among others. The Company recognizes
that the number of suitable potential business ventures that may be available to
it may be extremely limited, and may be restricted to entities who desire to
avoid what these entities may deem to be the adverse factors related to an
initial public offering ("IPO"). The most prevalent of these factors include
substantial time requirements, legal and accounting costs, the inability to
obtain an underwriter who is willing to publicly offer and sell shares, the lack
of or the inability to obtain the required financial statements for such an
undertaking, limitations on the amount of dilution to public investors in
comparison to the stockholders of any such entities, along with other conditions
or requirements imposed by various federal and state securities laws, rules and
regulations. Any of these types of entities, regardless of their prospects,
would require the Company to issue a substantial number of shares of its common
stock to complete any such acquisition, reorganization or merger, usually
amounting to between 80 and 95 percent of the outstanding shares of the Company
following the completion of any such transaction; accordingly, investments in
any such private entity, if available, would be much more favorable than any
investment in the Company.
In the event that the Company engages in any transaction resulting in a
change of control of the Company and/or the acquisition of a business, the
Company will be required to file with the Commission a Current Report on Form
8-K within 15 days of such transaction. A filing on Form 8-K also requires the
filing of audited financial statements of the business acquired, as well as pro
forma financial information consisting of a pro forma condensed balance sheet,
pro forma statements of income and accompanying explanatory notes.
Management intends to consider a number of factors prior to making any
decision as to whether to participate in any specific business endeavor, none of
which may be determinative or provide any assurance of success. These may
include, but will not be limited to an analysis of the quality of the entity's
management personnel; the anticipated acceptability of any new products or
marketing concepts; the merit of technological changes; its present financial
condition, projected growth potential and available technical, financial and
managerial resources; its working capital, history of operations and future
prospects; the nature of its present and expected competition; the quality and
experience of its management services and the depth of its management; its
potential for further research, development or exploration; risk factors
specifically related to its business operations; its potential for growth,
expansion and profit; the perceived public recognition or acceptance of its
products, services, trademarks and name identification; and numerous other
factors which are difficult, if not impossible, to properly or accurately
analyze, let alone describe or identify, without referring to specific objective
criteria.
Regardless, the results of operations of any specific entity may not
necessarily be indicative of what may occur in the future, by reason of changing
market strategies, plant or product expansion, changes in product emphasis,
future management personnel and changes in innumerable other factors. Further,
in the case of a new business venture or one that is in a research and
development mode, the risks will be substantial, and there will be no objective
criteria to examine the effectiveness or the abilities of its management or its
business objectives. Also, a firm market for its products or services may yet
need to be established, and with no past track record, the profitability of any
such entity will be unproven and cannot be predicted with any certainty.
Management will attempt to meet personally with management and key
personnel of the entity sponsoring any business opportunity afforded to the
Company, visit and inspect material facilities, obtain independent analysis or
verification of information provided and gathered, check references of
management and key personnel and conduct other reasonably prudent measures
calculated to ensure a reasonably thorough review of any particular business
opportunity; however, due to time constraints of management, these activities
may be limited.
The Company is unable to predict the time as to when and if it may actually
participate in any specific business endeavor. The Company anticipates that
proposed business ventures will be made available to it through personal
contacts of directors, executive officers and principal stockholders,
professional advisors, broker dealers in securities, venture capital personnel,
members of the financial community and others who may present unsolicited
proposals. In certain cases, the Company may agree to pay a finder's fee or to
otherwise compensate the persons who submit a potential business endeavor in
which the Company eventually participates. Such persons may include the
Company's directors, executive officers, beneficial owners or their affiliates.
In this event, such fees may become a factor in negotiations regarding a
potential acquisition and, accordingly, may present a conflict of interest for
such individuals.
Although the Company has not identified any potential acquisition target,
the possibility exists that the Company may acquire or merge with a business or
company in which the Company's executive officers, directors, beneficial owners
or their affiliates may have an ownership interest. Current Company policy does
not prohibit such transactions. Because no such transaction is currently
contemplated, it is impossible to estimate the potential pecuniary benefits to
these persons.
Further, substantial fees are often paid in connection with the completion
of these types of acquisitions, reorganizations or mergers, ranging from a small
amount to as much as $250,000. These fees are usually divided among promoters or
founders, after deduction of legal, accounting and other related expenses, and
it is not unusual for a portion of these fees to be paid to members of
management or to principal stockholders as consideration for their agreement to
retire a portion of the shares of common stock owned by them. In the event that
such fees are paid, they may become a factor in negotiations regarding any
potential acquisition by the Company and, accordingly, may present a conflict of
interest for such individuals.
Principal Products and Services.
--------------------------------
The limited business operations of the Company, as now contemplated,
involve those of a "blank check" company. The only activities to be conducted by
the Company are to manage its current limited assets and to seek out and
investigate the acquisition of any viable business opportunity by purchase and
exchange for securities of the Company or pursuant to a reorganization or merger
through which securities of the Company will be issued or exchanged.
Distribution Methods of the Products or Services.
-------------------------------------------------
Management will seek out and investigate business opportunities through
every reasonably available fashion, including personal contacts, professionals,
securities broker dealers, venture capital personnel, members of the financial
community and others who may present unsolicited proposals; the Company may also
advertise its availability as a vehicle to bring a company to the public market
through a "reverse" reorganization or merger.
Status of any Publicly Announced New Product or Service.
--------------------------------------------------------
None; not applicable.
Competitive Business Conditions.
--------------------------------
Management believes that there are literally thousands of "blank check"
companies engaged in endeavors similar to those engaged in by the Company; many
of these companies have substantial current assets and cash reserves.
Competitors also include thousands of other publicly-held companies whose
business operations have proven unsuccessful, and whose only viable business
opportunity is that of providing a publicly-held vehicle through which a private
entity may have access to the public capital markets. There is no reasonable way
to predict the competitive position of the Company or any other entity in the
strata of these endeavors; however, the Company, having limited assets and cash
reserves, will no doubt be at a competitive disadvantage in competing with
entities which have recently completed IPO's, have significant cash resources
and have recent operating histories when compared with the complete lack of any
substantive operations by the Company for the past several years.
Sources and Availability of Raw Materials and Names of Principal Suppliers.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
None; not applicable.
Dependence on One or a Few Major Customers.
-------------------------------------------
None; not applicable.
Patents, Trademarks, Licenses, Franchises, Concessions, Royalty Agreements
or Labor Contracts.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
None; not applicable.
Need for any Governmental Approval of Principal Products or Services.
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Because the Company currently produces no products or services, it is not
presently subject to any governmental regulation in this regard. However, in the
event that the Company engages in a merger or acquisition transaction with an
entity that engages in such activities, it will become subject to all
governmental approval requirements to which the merged or acquired entity is
subject.
Effect of Existing or Probable Governmental Regulations on Business.
-------------------------------------------------------------------
The integrated disclosure system for small business issuers adopted by the
Commission in Release No. 34-30968 and effective as of August 13, 1992,
substantially modified the information and financial requirements of a "Small
Business Issuer," defined to be an issuer that has revenues of less than $25
million; is a U.S. or Canadian issuer; is not an investment company; and if a
majority-owned subsidiary, the parent is also a small business issuer; provided,
however, an entity is not a small business issuer if it has a public float (the
aggregate market value of the issuer's outstanding securities held by
non-affiliates) of $25 million or more.
The Commission, state securities commissions and the North American
Securities Administrators Association, Inc. ("NASAA") have expressed an interest
in adopting policies that will streamline the registration process and make it
easier for a small business issuer to have access to the public capital markets.
The present laws, rules and regulations designed to promote availability to the
small business issuer of these capital markets and similar laws, rules and
regulations that may be adopted in the future will substantially limit the
demand for "blank check" companies like the Company, and may make the use of
these companies obsolete.
Research and Development.
-------------------------
None; not applicable.
Cost and Effects of Compliance with Environmental Laws.
-------------------------------------------------------
None; not applicable. However, environmental laws, rules and regulations
may have an adverse effect on any business venture viewed by the Company as an
attractive acquisition, reorganization or merger candidate, and these factors
may further limit the number of potential candidates available to the Company
for acquisition, reorganization or merger.
Number of Employees.
--------------------
None.
Item 2. Description of Property.
-----------------------
The Company has no assets, property or business; its principal executive
office address and telephone number are the business office address and
telephone number of its Director, Valerie Keating, and are currently provided at
no cost. Because the Company has had no business, its activities will be limited
to keeping itself in good standing in the State of Utah, seeking out
acquisitions, reorganizations or mergers and preparing and filing the
appropriate reports with the Securities and Exchange Commission. These
activities have consumed an insubstantial amount of management's time.
Item 3. Legal Proceedings.
------------------
The Company is not a party to any pending legal proceeding. To the
knowledge of management, no federal, state or local governmental agency is
presently contemplating any proceeding against the Company. No director,
executive officer or affiliate of the Company or owner of record or beneficially
of more than five percent of the Company's common stock is a party adverse to
the Company or has a material interest adverse to the Company in any proceeding.
Item 4. Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders.
----------------------------------------------------
No matter was submitted to a vote of the Company's security holders during
the fourth quarter of the calendar year covered by this Report or during the two
previous calendar years. Further, there have been no meetings of stockholders
since before 1989.
PART II
Item 5. Market for Common Equity and Related Stockholder Matters.
---------------------------------------------------------
Market Information
------------------
There is no established "public market" for shares of common stock of the
Company. The Company's common stock is listed on the OTC Bulletin Board of the
National Association of Securities Dealers ("NASD") under the symbol "PIEZ". In
any event, no assurance can be given that an established market for the
Company's common stock will develop or be maintained.
The National Quotation Bureau has provided the following closing bid and
ask quotations on the Company's common stock:

Holders
-------
The number of record holders of the Company's common stock as of March 15,
2002, is approximately 205.
Dividends
---------
The Company has not declared any cash dividends with respect to its common
stock and does not intend to declare dividends in the foreseeable future. The
future dividend policy of the Company cannot be ascertained with any certainty,
and until the Company completes any acquisition, reorganization or merger, as to
which no assurance may be given, no such policy will be formulated. There are no
material restrictions limiting, or that are likely to limit, the Company's
ability to pay dividends on its common stock.

Item 6. Management's Discussion and Analysis or Plan of Operation.
----------------------------------------------------------
Plan of Operation.
------------------
The Company has not engaged in any material operations or had any revenues
from operations during the last two calendar years. The Company's plan of
operation for the next 12 months is to continue to seek the acquisition of
assets, properties or businesses that may benefit the Company and its
stockholders. Management anticipates that to achieve any such acquisition, the
Company will issue shares of its common stock as the sole consideration for such
acquisition.
During the next 12 months, the Company's only foreseeable cash requirements
will relate to maintaining the Company in good standing or the payment of
expenses associated with reviewing or investigating any potential business
venture, which the Company expects to pay from its cash resources. As of
December 31, 2001 it had no cash or cash equivalents. If additional funds are
required during this period, such funds may be advanced by management or
stockholders as loans to the Company. Because the Company has not identified any
such venture as of the date of this Report, it is impossible to predict the
amount of any such loan. However, any such loan should not exceed $25,000 and
will be on terms no less favorable to the Company than would be available from a
commercial lender in an arm's length transaction. As of the date of this Report,
the Company is not engaged in any negotiations with any person regarding any
such venture.
Results of Operations.
----------------------
Other than seeking the acquisition of assets, properties or businesses that
may benefit the Company and its stockholders, the Company has had no material
business operations in the two most recent calendar years, or in the last five
years.
At December 31, 2001, the Company's had no assets. See the Index to

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT
Board of Directors and Stockholders
PIEZO INSTRUMENTS, INC.
Salt Lake City, Utah
We have audited the accompanying balance sheet of Piezo Instruments, Inc. [a
development stage company] as of December 31, 2001, and the related statements
of stockholders' equity/(deficit), operations, and cash flows for the years
ended December 31, 2001 and 2000, and for the period from reinstatement [August
17, 1990] through December 31, 2001. 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 audit.
We conducted our audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted
in the United State of America. Those standards require that we plan and perform
the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements
are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis,
evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An
audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant
estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial
statement presentation. We believe that our 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 Piezo Instruments, Inc., as of
December 31, 2001, and the results of operations and cash flows for the years
ended December 31, 2001 and 2000, and for the period from reinstatement [August
17, 1990] through December 31, 2001, in conformity with accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States of America.
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that Piezo
Instruments, Inc. will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note D to
the financial statements, the Company has accumulated losses from reinstatement
and presently has no prospects for commencing operations or generating revenue.
These issues raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going
concern. Management's plans in regard to these matters are also described in
Note D. The financial statements do not include any adjustment that might result
from the outcome of this uncertainty.

PIEZO INSTRUMENTS, INC.
Notes to Financial Statements
December 31, 2001
NOTE A Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Company Background
The Company originally incorporated under the laws of the State of Utah on
April 10, 1984 using the name Core-Tech, Inc., to engage in various
activities in the natural resources industry. On October 15, 1985 the
Company entered into an agreement and plan of reorganization whereby Core-
Tech, Inc. would acquire 100% of all outstanding shares of Piezo
Instruments, Inc., a Utah Corporation. Core-Tech, Inc. issued 14,800,000
shares of $.001 par value stock to the shareholders of Piezo Instruments,
Inc. The acquisition of Piezo Instruments, Inc. by Core-Tech, Inc. was
considered a "pooling of interests." At the annual meeting held on November
12, 1985, the stockholders of Core-Tech, Inc. voted to change the name of
the Company to Piezo Instruments, Inc. and expanded the purpose of the
Company to include the design, development, and marketing of electrical and
other devices. The Company was not successful in this endeavor and
eventually ceased all attempts. In 1990, the Company was reinstated but
remains dormant. Piezo Instruments, Inc., is considered to be a development
stage company.
Income Taxes
The Company applies Statement of Financial Accounting Standard (SFAS) No.
109, "Accounting For Income Taxes," which requires the asset and liability
method of accounting for income taxes. The asset and liability method
requires that the current or deferred tax consequences of all events
recognized in the financial statements are measured by applying the
provisions of enacted tax laws to determine the amount of taxes payable or
refundable currently or in future years. See Note C below.
Net Loss Per Common Share
Net loss per common share is based on the weighted average number of shares
outstanding.
Use of Estimates in Preparation of Financial Statements
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U. S. generally
accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and
assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and
disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the
financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses
during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those
estimates.
NOTE B Cash
Cash is comprised of cash on hand or on deposit in banks. The Company has
no cash as of December 31, 2001.

NOTE C Accounting for Income Taxes
Below is a summary of deferred tax asset calculations on net operating loss
carry forward amounts. Loss carry forward amounts expire through 2021. A
valuation allowance is provided when it is more likely than not that some
portion of the deferred tax asset will not be realized. For the years ended
December 31, 2001 and 2000, the Company had no income tax expenses due to
operating losses during those periods. Any deferred tax benefit arising
from the operating losses carried forward, would be offset entirely by a
valuation allowance since it is not likely that the Company will be
sufficiently profitable in the future to take advantage of the losses. The
Company has no timing differences.
Deferred tax assets Balance Tax Rate
-------------------------------------------------- ------- --------- --------
Federal Loss carryforward (expires through 2021) $29,430 $4,415 15%
State Loss carryforward (expires through 2016) 28,230 1,411 5%
Valuation allowance (5,826)
-----------
Deferred tax asset $0
===========
The allowance has increased $1,465 from $4,361 as of December 31, 2000. The
amount shown on the balance sheet for income taxes payable represents the
annual minimum franchise tax amount due to the State of Utah.
NOTE D Liquidity
The Company has accumulated losses since reinstatement totaling $29,430,
has no assets and no operations at December 31, 2001. Financing for the
Company's limited activities to date has been primarily provided by
borrowing from a stockholder. The Company's ability to achieve a level of
profitable operations and/or additional financing impacts the Company's
ability to continue as it is presently organized. Management is currently
seeking a well-capitalized merger candidate in order to commence its
operations. Should management be unsuccessful in its merger activities, it
will have a material adverse effect on the Company.
NOTE E Stockholder Loan
Stockholders have paid expenses and taxes on behalf of the Company in the
amount of $7,350 during the year ended December 31, 2001, $2,076 during the
year ended December 31, 2000, and $19,904 in prior years. The Company has
recorded a liability for these expenses to the stockholders. The unsecured
loan bears no interest and is due on demand.

NOTE F Cancellation of Shares
In May, 1999, the Company canceled 1,000,000 shares of common stock that
had been issued as part of an exchange of securities with another
corporation in 1986. The original transaction was voided when planned
operations never materialized and the shares were returned to the Company.
All weighted average number of shares amounts presented in this report have
been restated to reflect the cancellation of these shares retroactive to
the reinstatement date.
