ITEM 1. DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS
History
The Company was incorporated in the state of Colorado on March 31, 1997, under
the name Biovid Corporation for the purpose of entering into the printing and
publishing business. The Company did not commence active business operations in
the publishing industry until August 1998, when began acquiring existing
printing and publishing businesses as subsidiaries. From August, 1998, until
December 31, 1999, the Company derived its revenue primarily from providing
printing and publishing services to artists and publishers. The Company
discontinued its printing and publishing operations effective December 31, 1999,
to concentrate its efforts on Internet-based publishing initiatives. In December
1999, the company effected a merger whereby it became a Nevada corporation and
changed its name to Deerbrook Publishing Group, Inc. and continued as a holding
company looking for other business to acquire.
On April 1, 2001, the Company disposed of its printing and publishing
subsidiaries and ceased active business operations. On April 6, 2001, control of
the Company changed and the Company determined to explore new business
opportunities including but not limited to the acquisition of alternative energy
sources in the State of California and other states for resale to the public.
Also on April 6, 2001, the Company changed its name to Volt Inc.
On May 15, 2001, the Company acquired all of the stock of Arcadian Renewable

all of the assets of Arcadian. Arcadian is in the business of alternative energy
production.
In May, 2001, the Company established Sun Volt, Inc., a Nevada corporation ("Sun
Volt") to engage in the business of construction and sale of energy products and

On May 17, 2002, the Company acquired all of the stock of First Washington
Financial Corporation, a Nevada corporation ("First Washington"). First
Washington is a mortgage loan originator in the home mortgage loan industry
concentrated primarily in Washington, D.C., Maryland and Virginia. The
acquisition of First Washington is deemed an acquisition of a significant
subsidiary because it met a condition under Section 210.3-05 of Regulation SX.
On May 17, 2002, the Company acquired Opportunity Knocks, LLC, a Maryland
limited liability company ("Opportunity Knocks"). Opportunity Knocks is in the
business of acquiring, refurbishing and selling real estate. Opportunity Knocks

LLC and Heritage Mortgage Bankers, LLC respectively. Both Mortgage-Matic and
Heritage are mortgage loan originators in the home mortgage loan industry in
Washington, D.C., Maryland and Virginia. In July, 2003, the Company disposed of
both Mortgage-Matic and Heritage. The acquisitions of these companies is not
deemed an acquisition of a significant subsidiary because the acquisitions did

office in the Central Valley of California. This branch office was subsequently
closed effective December 31, 2004.

The Company
The Company is a holding company formed in the State of Nevada whose
subsidiaries include Arcadian, Sun Volt, Sun Electronics, First Washington,
Opportunity Knocks and Yosemite Mortgage, Inc.
The Company is listed on the OTC Bulletin Board and its common stock traded
under the stock symbol "VOLT" until October, 2004, when its symbol changed to

The Alternative Energy Business
Arcadian's major asset is the Altamont Wind Generation Facility, which is an
existing electricity generation facility located on approximately 4000 acres in
the Altamonte Pass, east of San Francisco, CA (the "Wind Farm"). The Wind Farm
has approximately 1300 wind turbines at present which were installed in the
1980's, approximately 600 of which are still operable. The Wind Farm will have
to be re-powered in order to make its operation economically feasible. The
Company plans to re-power the Wind Farm with new 950 KW state-of-the-art
turbines. The Wind Farm is zoned and permitted for up to 114 megawatts, and the
infrastructure includes the wind turbines, 300 miles of transmission lines, a
150 MW substation and an interconnection to the PG&E grid. The ground leases
extend to 2036 with options to renew. The cost to produce electricity is
approximately 4.5 cents per KWH, and is eligible for up to 3.5 cents of tax
credits. Sale price of the electricity should be in the range of 6.9 cents per
KWH with annual revenue in the $5 Million range without calculating green
tickets or tax credits and other incentives.
The Company is in the planning stages to re-power and activate its Wind Farm. In
2003, Pacific Gas and Electric Company emerged from Chapter 11 Reorganization
proceedings thereby eliminating one obstacle to re-powering the Wind Farm.
However, the State of California has not yet established regulations for the
re-powering of wind farms pursuant to California's Renewals Portfolio Standard
law ("RPS"). The Company is working with industry groups to obtain RPS
implementation rules critical to the success of wind energy
Sun Electronics is conducting Photovoltaics research and development of a

related technologies.

products and power from generators and other sources of co-generation.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Stockholders of
Kore Holdings, Inc. and Subsidiaries
(formerly Volt Inc. and Subsidiaries)
Oakhurst, California
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Kore Holdings,
Inc. and Subsidiaries (formerly Volt Inc. and Subsidiaries) (the "Company") as
of September 30, 2004 and 2003 and the related consolidated statements of
operations, changes in stockholders' equity (deficit), and cash flows for the
years then ended. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these
consolidated financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards of the Public
Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that
we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the
consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit
includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and
disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. An audit also includes
assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by
management, as well as evaluating the overall consolidated financial statement
presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our
opinion.
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present
fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of Kore
Holdings, Inc. and Subsidiaries (formerly Volt Inc. and Subsidiaries) as of
September 30, 2004 and 2003, and the consolidated results of its statements of
operations, changes in stockholders' equity (deficit), and cash flows 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 September 30, 2002 on its report dated
December 9, 2002. The Company has amended these consolidated financial
statements to reclassify a portion of its goodwill acquired in the First
Washington Corporation transaction as restricted cash in the amount of $172,428
and has reclassified $133,000 previously classified as notes receivable to
general and administrative expenses. These transactions resulted in a decrease
in net income of $305,428 to a net loss of $44,408 and increase in the
accumulated deficit to ($4,770,083). In addition for the year ended September
30, 2003, the Company has reclassified $143,326 previously classified as notes
receivable to general and administrative expenses. This transaction resulted in
a decrease in net income of $143,326 to a net loss of $73,792 and increase in
the accumulated deficit to ($4,843,875).

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
SEPTEMBER 30, 2004 AND 2003
NOTE 1- ORGANIZATION AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION
Kore Holdings, Inc. and Subsidiaries (formerly Volt Inc.
and Subsidiaries) is a marketer of energy and financial
services. The Company is in the initial stages of
implementing its business plan. On October 16, 2004, the
Company amended the articles of incorporation to change its
name to Kore Holdings, Inc. and Subsidiaries.
On May 17, 2002, the Company acquired First Washington
Financial Corporation, a company which provides financial
services in Bethesda, Maryland ("First Washington"). First
Washington, is a mortgage company whose emphasis lies in
residential mortgages in the greater Washington D.C. service
area. The combination was treated as a purchase with First
Washington becoming a wholly owned subsidiary of Volt, Inc.
Volt, Inc. recognized an intangible asset (goodwill) which
represented the amount of value received over the net assets
acquired. The operations of First Washington are included in
the consolidated statements of income for the year ended
September 30, 2002 from the date of inception May 17, 2002 to
September 30, 2002. There was no predecessor entity of First
Washington. The fair value of the transaction was recorded
based on the number of shares issued to First Washington
(2,000,000) at the fair value of the stock of Volt on the date
of acquisition net of a discount since the stock issued in the
acquisition was restricted stock ($1.50). The cost of the net
assets purchased and liabilities assumed approximated zero,
however, the value of $3,000,000 is based on the mortgage
company's future earnings.
The Company has acquired Opportunity Knocks, LLC. during the
third fiscal quarter of 2002 to rehabilitate HUD homes and
other properties in Washington, D.C., Maryland and Virginia
under the HUD Gift Program. This acquisition was done
simultaneously with the acquisition of First Washington, and
Opportunity Knocks is a wholly owned subsidiary of the
Company.
In fiscal 2003, the Company expanded its financial services
business, and brought in two businesses, that operationally
failed to meet the Company's business model. Subsequent to
these agreements being in force, the Company disposed of them.
Additionally, the Washington Metropolitan Area market had not
met Company expectations. As a result, the Company's
subsidiary First Washington acquired Yosemite Brokerage, Inc.
in Oakhurst, California, a few miles from the Company's
headquarters. The Company has reflected the operations from
the financial service companies as discontinued operations in
the consolidated statements of operations for the year ended
September 30, 2003. The Company had issued Preferred Stock
Class B, which has been cancelled by the Company.
In July 2003 (effective August 1, 2003), First Washington
acquired Yosemite Brokerage, Inc. ("Yosemite"), a California
corporation for 500,000 shares of First Washington Class A
Preferred Stock. The acquisition was recorded for accounting
purposes as a purchase acquisition. The Company valued this
transaction at $200,000 ($.40 per share), which included the
recognition of $31,840 in goodwill.

NOTE 2- SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Principles of Consolidation
The consolidated balance sheets for September 30, 2004 and
2003 and consolidated statements of operations and cash flows
for the years then ended includes Kore Holdings, Inc. and its
wholly-owned subsidiaries. Intercompany transactions and
balances have been eliminated in consolidation.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States
of America, requires management to make estimates and
assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and
liabilities and disclosures 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.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
The Company considers all highly liquid debt instruments and
other short-term investments with an initial maturity of three
months or less to be cash or cash equivalents.
The Company maintains cash and cash equivalent balances at
several financial institutions which are insured by the
Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation up to $100,000.
The Company has $234,240 in restricted cash that is expected
to be received in the next two years.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The carrying amount reported in the consolidated balance
sheets for cash and cash equivalents, advances receivable,
commissions receivable, accounts payable and accrued expenses
approximate fair value because of the immediate or short-term
maturity of these financial instruments.
Earnings (Loss) Per Share of Common Stock
Historical income (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. The Company
does not have any warrants or stock options outstanding.
The following is a reconciliation of the computation for basic
and diluted EPS:

Goodwill
In June 2001, the FASB issued Statement No. 142 "Goodwill and
Other Intangible Assets". This Statement addresses financial
accounting and reporting for acquired goodwill and other
intangible assets and supersedes APB Opinion No. 17,
Intangible Assets. It addresses how intangible assets that are
acquired individually or with a group of other assets (but not
those acquired in a business combination) should be accounted
for in financial statements upon their acquisition. This
Statement also addresses how goodwill and other intangible
assets should be accounted for after they have been initially
recognized in the financial statements. This statement has
been considered when determining impairment of goodwill in
certain transactions. As of September 30, 2003, the Company
recognized $31,840 of goodwill acquired in the Yosemite
transaction. There was no recognition of impairment of
goodwill during the years ended September 30, 2004 and 2003.
Recent Accounting Pronouncement
On October 3, 2001, the FASB issued Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards No. 144, "Accounting for the Impairment
or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets" ("SFAS 144"), that is
applicable to financial statements issued for fiscal years
beginning after December 15, 2001. The FASB's new rules on
asset impairment supersede SFAS 121, "Accounting for the
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to
Be Disposed Of," and portions of Accounting Principles Board
Opinion 30, "Reporting the Results of Operations." This
Standard provides a single accounting model for long-lived
assets to be disposed of and significantly changes the
criteria that would have to be met to classify an asset as
held-for-sale. Classification as held-for-sale is an
important distinction since such assets are not depreciated
and are stated at the lower of fair value and carrying amount.
This Standard also requires expected future operating losses
from discontinued operations to be displayed in the period (s)
in which the losses are incurred, rather than as of the
measurement date as presently required.
Reclassifications
Certain amounts for the year ended September 30, 2003 have
been reclassified to conform with the presentation of the
September 30, 2004 amounts. The reclassifications have no
effect on net income for the year ended September 30, 2003.

========== ==========
Depreciation expense for the years ended September 30, 2004
and 2003 was $20,290 and $25,773, respectively. There is no
depreciation recognized on the Wind Farm in 2004 or 2003 as it
is non operational until placed in service. In the Company's
acquisition of Yosemite, they acquired $55,261 of office and
computer equipment.
The Company, upon acquisition of the Wind Farm, has classified
this asset under property and equipment. The Wind Farm
consists of hundreds of non operational turbines located in
California. The Company has received independent valuations on
the Wind Farm that have valued it in excess of $14,000,000.
The Company would need to spend approximately in excess of
$5,000,000 to bring these assets into operational use, at
which time the Company would depreciate them over their
estimated useful life of 40 years. Consequently, there is no
depreciation recognized on the Wind Farm in 2004 and 2003. The
Company did receive miscellaneous scrap parts that have not
been valued (salvage) for the consolidated balance sheets,
that it sells from time to time, and the Company records the
income in their consolidated statements of operations when
these sales occur. There were no sales of scrap in 2004.
NOTE 4- INTANGIBLE ASSET
The Company in November 2003 issued 1,000,000 shares of its
common stock valued at $500,000 for exclusive right to
distribute power generators in northern California and Hawaii
and other agreed territories. Additionally, the Company
received the non-exclusive right to acquire the generators at
prevailing wholesale prices for distribution and the
non-exclusive license to use the name, trademark and trade
names of the manufacturer or distributor of the power
generators. The license agreements are being amortized over
the five year life. Amortization charged to expense for the
year ended September 30, 2004 was $91,666.

NOTE 8- 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 September 30, 2004 and 2003, deferred tax assets consist of
the following:
2004 2003
---- -----
Deferred tax assets $343,000 $425,000
Less: valuation allowance (343,000) (425,000)

$1,618,000 and $1,700,000, respectively, available to offset

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.
