ITEM 1. BUSINESS
(a) General Development of Business. The Company was formed under the laws of the state of Colorado on July 29, 1988. On October 26, 1989, the Company's Registration Statement on Form S-18 was declared effective by the United States Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"). The Company offered 60,000,000 Units, each consisting of one share of no par value Common Stock, one Class A Warrant, one Class B Warrant and Class C Warrant. On February 16, 1990, the Company closed the public offering described in the aforementioned registration statement and received gross proceeds of $300,010 from the sale of 30,001,000 Units. Net proceeds after deducting the costs of the offering were approximately $245,000.
From inception through July, 1991, the Company's primary focus was to attempt to acquire one or more business opportunities. During that period of time, management of the Company evaluated a number of business opportunities and conducted varying degrees of investigation into several business opportunities. While the Company continues to evaluate business opportunities as they present themselves, at this time the Company has not consummated an acquisition or entered into any agreement to do so with any business opportunity.
After considerable research, management of the Company elected to enter into the business of commercial accounts receivable financing as a "factor." This business is the purchase of commercial accounts receivable falling into the three categories of short term obligations rated as commercial accounts, i.e., those companies with Dun & Bradstreet credit ratings commensurate with the credit the Company proposed to extend; oil and gas receivables from similarly rated companies; and government invoices, i.e., the "net 30" invoices due business from federal, state and local government agencies. The use of funds from the Company's offering to enable the Company to enter into the factoring business was approved by the Company's shareholders in July, 1991. In September, 1991, the Company began its factoring business.
The Company is still in the development stage. Through April 1996, the Company purchased approximately $80,000 in accounts receivable in a limited number of transactions with a few customers. In doing so, the Company had limited success in these transactions and volume was insufficient to enable the Company to reach profitability. Therefore, management elected to no longer pursue the business of commercial accounts receivable financing and elected to enter into the business of buying, selling and managing commercial real estate. Through February 4, 1997, the Company has neither purchased nor sold any commercial real estate, but the Chairman of the Board of the Company has entered into a contract to purchase a medical office building on behalf of the Company. There can be no assurance that the transaction to purchase the medical office building will close or that the Company will be active in the investment, purchase and management of commercial real estate. Other business acquisitions or opportunities for the Company continue to be pursued by the management of the Company.
(b) Financial Information About Industry Segments. Not applicable.
(c) Narrative Description of Business.
(i) Products and Services. Until 1997, the Company was in the business of purchasing commercial accounts receivable at a discount from their face value and collecting a fee or "factoring charge" based upon the amount of time any single receivable remained unpaid. The primary marketing of the Company's factoring business was aimed directly at the business community via the existing business contacts of the Company's management and such referrals as are made available to the Company. These included the referral of business from other companies active in factoring and marketing presentations made to businesses and associations. The Company's factoring efforts were confined to the state of Colorado. The Company has elected to no longer pursue the factoring business but has elected to enter the commercial real estate market.
(ii) Status of Product. Not applicable.
(iii) Raw Materials. Not applicable.
(iv) Patents, Trademarks and Licenses. Not applicable.
(v) Seasonality. The management of the Company does not believe that the Company's business is seasonal.
(vi) Working Capital Items. Not applicable.
(vii) Customer Dependence. For the fiscal years ended April 30, 1996 and April 30, 1995, the Company received 69% and 30%, respectively, of its revenue from Zitzner Construction, Inc. and 31% and 35%, respectively, from Richard T. Wehrle, Esq. For the fiscal year ended April 30, 1995, the Company received 35% of its revenue from Reginald H. Martin, CPA. See Note 7 to Notes to Financial Statements.
(viii) Backlog of Orders. Not applicable.
(ix) Government Contracts. Not applicable.
(x) Competition. There is substantial competition in the investment, purchase and management of commercial real estate. The Company is relatively small with respect to other companies active in the commercial real estate market. Many of these competitors have been in business longer than the Company and have materially greater financial and personnel resources available to them than the Company. The Company is, therefore, at a competitive disadvantage when
compared directly to other larger businesses investing in, purchasing and managing commercial real estate. However, the existing business contacts of the Company's management have enhanced the initial efforts of the Company in entering into the commercial real estate market.
In the business of seeking business combinations, the Company is and will continue to be an insignificant participant in this industry for the foreseeable future. There are a large number of established and well financed entities active in business combinations and many are substantially larger and have more resources and many other factors that place them in a better position to finance the efforts required to locate, evaluate and consummate a business combination.
(xi) Research and Development. Not applicable.
(xii) Environmental Regulation. Not applicable.
(xiii) Employees. The Company currently has no employees.
(d) Financial Information About Foreign and Domestic Operations and Export Sales. Not applicable.

The following table summarizes certain selected financial data which is qualified in its entirety by the more detailed financial information and notes thereto appearing elsewhere in this Annual Report.
ITEM 7.
ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Liquidity and Capital Resources
As of April 30, 1996, the Company had approximately $5,534 in cash and $9,501 in notes and other receivables, and had no long term notes receivable or liabilities. This represents a static portfolio of factoring activity and the conversion of several factored receivables to term notes.
The Company will seek to maintain the integrity of these assets to preserve its value as a business engaged in the investment, purchase and management of commercial real estate and seeking other business opportunities. The Company may incur significant capital expenditures in the purchase of commercial real estate. The Chairman of the Board of the Company has entered into a contract to
purchase a medical office building on behalf of the Company. There can be no assurance that the transaction to purchase the medical office building will close. The Company has no other material commitments for capital expenditures nor is it obligated to provide funds to any factoring relationship. As the growth of the Company's commercial real estate business continues and/or a business combination takes place, the Company's liquidity and commitments for capital expenditures could change materially.
Results of Operations
During the year ended April 30, 1996, the Company lost $11,665 on operating revenue of $2,882 and $1,338 in interest income derived from the conversion of several factored accounts receivable to term notes. During the years ended April 30, 1995 and 1994, the Company lost $23,877 and $51,770, respectively on operating revenues of $1,629 and $5,882 for the respective years then ended. Interest revenue for the years ended April 30, 1995 and 1994 was $7,879 and $9,779, respectively. The overall decrease in revenue and expense for the year ended April 30, 1996, as compared to the year ended April 30, 1995, resulted from a decrease in factoring activity and decline in expenses due to limited activity of the Company. The Company has limited working capital to enter into factoring arrangements. The same is applicable when comparing the fiscal years ended April 30, 1995 to April 30, 1994, generally recognizing the overall decrease in activities of the Company.
Net cash used in operations of $5,497 and $15,096 for the fiscal years ended April 30, 1996 and April 30, 1995 were the result of the net loss offset by advances effectively repaid by the affiliated entity, generally through application of rent payments to offset the advance. Net cash used in operations of $23,578 for the year ended April 30, 1994 was the result of a net loss of $51,770 plus non-cash net expense of $38,532 (comprised of amortization and depreciation, contribution of consulting services, and bad debt expense) and increases in operating assets and liabilities totaling $12,406 (primarily an increase in other receivable).
Net cash provided by (used in) investing activities by the Company was $9,796, $11,052 and $22,523 in fiscal years ended April 30, 1996, 1995 and 1994, respectively. The Company used cash in investing activities for capital expenditures of $913 in fiscal 1994, but did not use cash in investing activities for capital expenditures during fiscal 1996 and 1995. The Company used $5,450, $24,121 and $17,935 to purchase factored receivables and received $15,246, $35,173 and $41,371 from maturing factored receivables in fiscal years ended April 30, 1996, 1995 and 1994, respectively.

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.

An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Commercial Acquisitions Corporation as of April 30, 1996 and 1995, and the results of its opera tions and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended April 30, 1996 and for the period from July 29, 1988 (inception) to April 30, 1996, in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1. OPERATIONS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:
Nature of Operations - Commercial Acquisitions Corporation (the Company) was incorporated in Colorado in 1988, for the purpose of obtaining capital to seek potentially profitable business opportun ities. In 1991, the Company's stockholders authorized the Company to enter into the factoring business, in which the Company purchases accounts receivable with and without recourse at a discount, and earns income based on contractual percentages over the number of days the receivable is outstanding. Although these operations commenced in September 1991, the Company is still considered to be in the development stage, due to the concentration of fees with a relatively few customers and the insignificant amount of fees to date. Most of the Company's factored receivables have been with persons in the legal and accounting profession.
Property and Equipment - Property and equipment are stated at cost. Depreciation is computed by the straight-line method over estimated useful lives ranging generally from three to five years. Maintenance and repairs are charged to expense when incurred. Property replacements and betterments which extend the life of assets are capitalized and subsequently depreciated.
Revenues - Factoring revenue is recognized when collection of such amount can be reasonably assured. When factored receivables are converted to notes, the related factoring income is recognized as interest income over the term of the note.
Income Taxes - Income taxes are accounted for under the liability method, whereby current and deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on tax rates and laws enacted as of the balance sheet date. Deferred tax expense represents the change in the deferred tax asset/liability balance.
Net Loss Per Common Share - Net loss per common share is computed based upon the weighted aver age number of shares outstanding. Outstanding warrants were not included as their effect is anti- dilative.
Concentration of Credit Risks - Credit risk represents the accounting loss that would be recognized at the reporting date if counterparties failed completely to perform as contracted. Concentrations of credit risk (whether on or off balance sheet) that arise from financial instruments exist for groups of customers or counterparties when they have similar economic characteristics that would cause their ability to meet contractual obligations to be similarly effected by changes in economic or other conditions. The Company has factored receivables with a limited number of customers as identified in Note 7, who are in similar professions.
Use of Estimates - The preparation of the Company's financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires the Company's management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in these financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
COMMERCIAL ACQUISITIONS CORPORATION (A Development Stage Company)
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Fair Value of Financial Instruments -The estimated fair value for financial instruments under SFAS No. 107, "Disclosures About Fair Value of Financial Instruments," are determined at discrete points in time based on relevant market information. These estimates involve uncertainties and cannot be determined with precision. The estimated fair value of the Company's notes receivables approximate the carrying recorded amount in the financial statements.
Impact of Recently Issued Accounting Standards - In March 1995, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued a new statement titled "Accounting for Impairment of Long-Lived Assets." This new standard is effective for years beginning after December 15, 1995 and would change the Company's method of determining impairment of long-lived assets. Although the Company has not performed a detailed analysis of the impact of this new standard on the Company's financial statements, the Company does not believe that adoption of the new standard will have a material effect on the financial statements.
In October 1995, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued a new statement titled "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation" (FAS 123). The new statement is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 1995. FAS 123 encourages, but does not require, companies to recognize compensation expense for grants of stock, stock options, and other equity instruments to employees based on fair value. Companies that do not adopt the fair value accounting rules must disclose the impact of adopting the new method in the notes to the financial statements. Transactions in equity instruments with non-employees for goods or services must be accounted for on the fair value method. The Company currently does not intend to adopt the fair value accounting prescribed by FAS 123, and will be subject only to the disclosure requirements prescribed by FAS 123. However, the Company intends to continue its analysis of FAS 123 and may elect to adopt its provisions in the future.
2. LIQUIDITY AND CONTINUING OPERATIONS:
As of April 30, 1996, the Company has limited working capital and has incurred losses since its inception. The lack of working capital will inhibit future factoring activities or other operations unless additional capital is raised. The Company has no significant continuing obligations and is pursuing potential merger opportunities with other entities, however, no formal arrangements have been entered into. Unless the Company successfully negotiates a merger or raises additional capital, its ability to continue operations will be impaired.
3. NOTES AND OTHER RECEIVABLES:
During 1994, two notes receivables totaling approximately $18,800 with a major customer, who also provided contract services, became impaired due to a disagreement. In fiscal 1995, in an informal agreement, the chairman/director/major stockholder of the Company agreed to assume and pay to the Company the outstanding balances of these notes with payments and interest of 7.5% beginning July 1, 1995. As the notes were considered impaired at April 30, 1994, they have been fully reserved, and the resulting bad debt expense was included in general and administration expense in 1994 for financial statement presentation. No payments have been made on the impaired notes by the major stockholder.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
4. STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY:
In 1990, the Company completed the sale of 30,001,000 units at $.01 per unit in its initial public offering. Each unit consists of one share of common stock, one Class A Warrant, one Class B Warrant and one Class C Warrant.
The Class A Warrants are exercisable by the holder to purchase one share of common stock of the Company at an exercise price of $.02 per share. The Class B Warrants are exercisable to purchase one share of Common Stock of the Company at an exercise price of $.04 per share. The Class C Warrants are exercisable to purchase one share of common stock of the Company at an exercise price of $.055 per share. The Company's Board of Directors has extended, and continues to have the right to extend, the exercise periods and has the right to reduce the exercise prices of the Warrants with the Warrants currently set to expire in October 1996. During the exercise period of the Warrants, the Company may call the Warrants for redemption on 20 days prior notice at a redemption price of $.0001 per Warrant.
5. INCOME TAXES:
